As I've been reflecting on the past year, themes of relational trauma, betrayal trauma, and shame have come up again and again in our culture at large and in the work I do with leaders.Relational and betrayal traumas disrupt our ability to trust—ourselves, others, and even the world around us. These wounds often linger in ways we don't fully see. They impact how we navigate relationships, handle conflict, and lead ourselves and others.And far, far too often, these unaddressed, unhealed traumas beget shame. Shame is one of the most destructive forces in leadership and relationships.When leaders operate out of shame, it's volatile and dangerous. It hurts both those who wield it and those who experience it. Healing shame requires sharing our pain with those who have earned the right to hear our stories—those who can hold space for us with compassion, accountability, and empathy.Empathy is the antidote to shame, and it's also what transforms leadership. Leaders who can navigate challenges with compassion, even under immense pressure, create trust, relational resilience, and growth environments.In today's replay of my conversation with Dr. Frank Anderson, he reminds us that healing isn't just personal—it's deeply relational. He also offers the provocative idea that we all have the capacity to be healers and the capacity to harm.When we commit to healing, we reclaim our ability to lead with clarity, compassion, and courage.Frank Anderson, MD, completed his residency and was a clinical instructor in psychiatry at Harvard Medical School. He is an author, psychiatrist, therapist, speaker, and trauma specialist who's spent the past three decades studying neuroscience and trauma treatment. He is passionate about teaching brain-based psychotherapy and integrating current neuroscience knowledge with the IFS therapy model. His published work spans contributions to literature and training for a clinical audience and works accessible to the general public.Content Warning: We cover some heavy topics around verbal and physical abuse, conversion therapy, and suicidal ideation. Please take care as you listen to this conversation.Listen to the full episode to hear:Why it was so important for Frank to tell his story from a place of healing and love, even for the people who hurt him the mostHow releasing fear, anger, and shame makes space for forgiveness, healing, and loveWhy forgiveness and relational healing can only come after processing and releasing the trauma of what happened within yourselfWhy Frank says that healing is possible, but we're never done healingHow holding onto divisive binary thinking harms all of us and keeps our culture from healingHow holding space with love and empathy can help people acknowledge what happened and accept accountabilityHow unprocessed trauma causes us to repeat toxic patterns in our livesLearn more about Frank Anderson, MD:WebsiteInstagram: @frank_andersonmdFacebook: @mdfrankandersonConnect on LinkedInTo Be Loved: A Story of Truth, Trauma, and TransformationTranscending Trauma: Healing Complex Ptsd with Internal Family SystemsLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:EP 117: Rethinking Resilience: Moving from Bouncing Back to Relational Resilience with Soraya ChemalyOpen Monogamy: A Guide to Co-Creating Your Ideal Relationship Agreement, Tammy NelsonConan Gray - HeatherP!NK - TRUSTFALLFellow Travelers

In this episode of 'The Biggest Table' podcast, I discuss the intersection of food, table gatherings, and Christian unity with guests Heather Gorman and Mark Nelson, authors of 'Lunchroom Theology, Pushing Tables Together in a Fractured World.' The conversation explores the inspiration behind their book, which uses the metaphor of a high school lunchroom to illustrate social and theological divisions. They highlight practical steps for fostering inclusive and meaningful table fellowship as modeled by Jesus, while addressing modern sociological factors contributing to division. The discussion underscores the church's role in embracing and living out the unity that Jesus prayed for, by having generous conversations, practicing hospitality, and avoiding divisive behaviors. Both guests share personal anecdotes and practical advice on how to navigate deep and sometimes uncomfortable conversations around the table, stressing that change is both possible and essential for the church to effectively extend the Kingdom of God.Mark Nelson and Heather Gorman co-authored Lunchroom Theology: Pushing Tables Together in a Fractured World. Heather Gorman (PhD, Baylor University) is Professor of New Testament at Johnson University and author of Interweaving Innocence: A Rhetorical Analysis of Luke's Passion Narrative as well as numerous journal articles and essays on the Gospels, Acts, ancient rhetoric, and reception history.Heather Gorman's faculty page. Mark Nelson is the executive director of Three Rivers Collaborative and a coauthor of Reframation: Seeing God, People, and Mission Through Reenchanted Frames with Alan Hirsch.

Joining me is the incredible Jason Caplan, a pioneer in this space and someone whose work truly inspires. Jason is the Founder and President of The Bridge Institute, where he's championing a groundbreaking approach to communication through the Universal Language Room.

His work doesn't stop there—Jason also leads Naqshon's Leap, a multi-faith music group based in Memphis, Tennessee. Their music speaks to unity and shared humanity, as heard in their powerful single, Unity/One God, One Human Family, which even features jazz legend David Liebman.On top of all this, Jason serves on the board of advisors at the ProHuman Foundation, an organization I'm proud to be connected with. Together, they're exploring ways to integrate music into education and social initiatives, promoting empathy, understanding, and community building.TakeawaysMusic can serve as a universal language that transcends barriers.The Universal Language Room aims to teach music as a real language.Engaging in music can help people forget their differences.Music creates a space for constructive dialogue rather than conflict.The process of musical permutations can be a fun and engaging way to learn.Collaboration with organizations like the Pro Human Foundation enhances outreach.Music can be a powerful tool for social change and community buSo MetaInspiring stories of resilience: overcoming struggles, finding purpose, transforming livesListen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifyWhat have you done today to make your life a better life?

Welcome back to Blended!   Today, we're talking about generational diversity.    Demographic change is one of the biggest issues facing contemporary workplaces. The working-age population in the US is reportedly contracting at a pace not seen since World War Two but, unlike that time, there's no expected baby boom to compensate for it – in fact, each generation is getting smaller. We now find ourselves with a shrinking younger population and a growing older one. But, despite that reality – showing a clear need for older people to remain in the workforce – we've actually seen a surge of those older people exiting the workplace in the last few years. From early retirement and what Harvard Business Review called a “caustic mix of ageism and cost-cutting measures during the pandemic,” businesses let older people go, without considering the reality of recruiting and retaining the younger workers to fill those roles. And, as a consequence, we've seen many organizations struggle to build and maintain reliable, resilient, and effective workplaces.      It's clear that, in order to set themselves up for success now and in the future, organizations need to embrace generational diversity – they need to learn to bring those cultures together, leverage their varied skillsets, and build environments that allow everybody to shine.  So, our panel are diving into all of that today. They'll be talking about what generational diversity means; labels placed onto different generations, and the typical perspectives and working styles you might expect from them; navigating difficult conversations in the workplace; and how to put a focus on nurturing generationally diverse working cultures.     IN THIS EPISODE:   [01.40] Introductions to our Blended panellists.   ·       Merlinda – Chief Community Strategist/Consultant at Community Sauce ·       Betty – Business Continuity Management Consultant at Kildow Consulting  ·       Crystal – Founder and Head of Partnerships at Digital Culture Group ·       Annik – Marketing Strategist and Social Media Manager   [05.40] The group explore the fundamentals of generational diversity; the labels placed on generations; navigating different perspectives and misunderstandings; and managing difficult conversations.    ·       Changing work environments ·       Working towards shared goals ·       Grace ·       Acceptance ·       Openness ·       Embracing the natural cycle ·       Generational groups, eg. Millennial, Gen Z, Gen X, Baby Boomers, etc o   Personality traits o   Perspectives o   Ways of working o   What each generation brings to the table o   Finding the balance o   Getting to know people as individuals ·       Differences between America and Europe, different cultures ·       Bias    ·       Stereotypes ·       Connection ·       Influence ·       Misunderstanding ·       Training ·       Mediators ·       Bringing in professionals in people and culture ·       How we navigate tough conversations ·       Influence of an organization's culture ·       Influence of gender ·       Embracing difference ·       Worth ·       Judgment ·       Preconceptions ·       Traditional/reverse mentorship ·       Sponsorship ·       Allyship ·       Vulnerability   “Are there differences? Yes. Are they something we have to fear, and worry about overcoming? No! Generational diversity is something we should accept, embrace – and look for the value.” Betty “To me, the biggest concern in generational diversity is people not being open to one another. There's where problems arise.” Annik “Maybe it's our way of understanding people, we want to put them in a category. Bu that's a mistake… There isn't one person in the world that is going to comfortably and totally fit into a box. We're all the sum of so many different components.” Betty “Millennials are kind of scrappy! We're going to say what we feel, because respect is our number one priority... We had to deal with so much to change the workplace to what it is now, from convenience to diversity, we had to fight for that to happen.” Crystal   “I've noticed resistance to my perspective... As a Gen Zer, sometimes I feel misunderstood.” Annik   [51.24] The panel reflects on their personal experiences of generational diversity in the workplace, and what they learned. ·       Ego ·       Pride ·       Role of therapy ·       Empathy ·       Lack of understanding  ·       Asking questions ·       Responsibility ·       Leadership ·       Appreciating the contributions of other generations    [01.18.13] The group discussed how we prioritize generational diversity while managing other pressing DEI issues in the workplace and shared some practical tips. In a survey by the Living, Learning, and Earning Longer Collaborative Initiative, more than 8 in 10 global leaders recognized that multigenerational workforces are key to growth. However, less than half of companies include age diversity in their DEI initiatives. · Age-neutral language ·       Eliminating age bias in hiring ·       Flexibility ·       Communication styles ·       Customized benefits   “Companies are acknowledging that in order to diversify their hiring, they have to diversify their offerings.” Merlinda    [01.26.35] The panel sums up their thoughts from today's discussion.  “Every generation has a superpower, and when you learn how to leverage that superpower, it makes you a powerhouse.” Merlinda   RESOURCES AND LINKS MENTIONED: You can connect with Merlinda, Annik, Crystal and Betty over on LinkedIn.   [LINK TO OTHER RELEVANT PODCAST EPS]

You decide the kind of ride it's going to be… It's all about ownership.”“You write down your success of the day and every night you go to bed a success. Every morning you wake up a success. You're now creating more and more success because what you focus on starts to show up more in your life.”“The root for the Greek word ‘anxious' means to separate and divide. And so someone who's anxious, they feel separate and divided. What does fear do?

Gosia Smoleńska: Breaking Remote Agile Team Divides Through Unscripted, Informal Connection Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. In this episode, Gosia shares a story of a team working across different locations where collaboration and trust were initially absent. Before remote work was popular, a team of seven struggled with communication, experiencing conflicts and tension that hindered their progress.

The phrase “whatever happens” doesn't conjure up visions of stability. When people say that - “whatever happens” - it's usually because something bad is going to happen. For the church at Philippi, this was the case. In his letter to the early church in that city, Paul understood that the political climate was going to get heated. The earliest Christians in Philippi were in all likelihood facing serious persecution for political reasons. Incredibly, within this context, the Apostle Paul (who himself was a Roman Citizen) tells this group of Christians that no matter what happens politically, that they were to remember that their citizenship is in Heaven and their King is not Caesar, but Jesus. This would have real implications for the way they lived their lives - but Paul's advice still rings true for believers down through the ages.
