    Watch on Philo! - Philo.tv/DTHThe movie kicks off with a dude named Jack Cooper being very proud of whatever he just wrote on his computer. He gets home and sees his daughter, Grace looking at a dating app with her aunt Carrie. When she leaves the room, we find out that this is the first Christmas since Jack's wife died and he's concerned about Carrie. To cheer her up, he takes her to get a picture with Santa despite her not wanting to. When she gets on Santa's lap, she asks Santa to get dad a girlfriend despite the fact that he's currently dating a women named Veronica that she does not like. We then meet Jessica who runs a cafe that needs to come up with $25,000 in 5 days or they're gonna lose it. Jack and Grace are gonna go spend Christmas with Grace's grandparents and she's mad to find out that while Jack is there, he's gonna be doing a little bit of work. There's a cafe that he's supposed to be looking into potentially buying out for his job. When he shows up, we find out that it's Jessica's cafe. And he's sad because it's an institution and he also just met Jessica and they really hit it off. Grace picks up on this and decides that Jessica would be a better fit for her dad than Veronica would be. So she goes to meet with Jessica and gives her the pitch. When Jack finds out what she did, he goes to talk to her and they have one of the more awkward conversations of all time. They end up going to the local bar together and there's karaoke. They bond over their past with music and they take turns singing. He even sings an original that he's working on and she touches his hand. Things are heating up. But keep in mind, he secretly is supposed to be making an offer on her cafe. Instead, he comes up with a plan for her to have a fundraiser concert to help save the cafe. She agrees to give it a shot and Grace is going to drum for her. After their first practice, Jessica and Jack are talking and they almost kiss but he stops her and is like I have a girlfriend and there's also another reason. Before he can expand on that though, they find out that grandpa has collapsed. He's ok though.The event goes as planned and it goes really well until Veronica shows up and yells at Jack about how he's a liar. Jessica overhears all of this and gets mad and leaves.To make matters worse, Grace also finds out that her dad is a liar. But then Grace admits she didn't tell the whole truth either - I didn't promise mom I'd help you be happy, I promised to help you fall in love again.They decide they are going to invest in the cafe. He goes to talk to Jessica. She accepts. And they kiss!Cut to a year later, they are crushing things, there's a second annual concert, and those two love birds are kissing.

    What If Time Was A Mystical Force Tghe Web Of Time From Author Flavia Brunetti

    The concept of time has been a subject of intense debate and profound intrigue almost from the beginning of… well, recorded time. Is time a human invention to keep us on track? That's the logical take. But what if time was truly a mystical force, protected by the gods and powering all that is good and beautiful in our world?Flavia Brunetti explores that wonderful possibility—and raises a dreadful scenario—in her debut fantasy novel, THE WEB OF TIME (Blue House Literary; May 20, 2025). Unfolding in Rome, Tunis, and Tripoli, this imaginative, lyrical work follows several characters—some mortal, some not—whose lives and fates intertwine in often startling, consequential ways. They all (like everyone everywhere) depend on the Web of Time, which has been spinning quietly since the dawn of creation, keeping the universe from slipping into chaos and sustaining three Great Portals: Kindness, Art, and Language. Threads from this web naturally rearrange themselves as humans change their minds, fall in love, suffer losses, make great discoveries and terrible mistakes, build empires and cause them to fall. Even when portals close from the world, the web continues keeping time, marking history. Until the unthinkable happens. Time doesn't just stand still—it starts erasing itself, and pieces of history begin vanishing.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

    Welcome to Immersion you have reached Strata 10 Dinfant Trouble (Synthetic Love)We are the abandonedThe ones who roamNever still,we search for homeWe are the orphans of the nightWe fly the high roadsand duck the lowThrough floods and fire,We cry the songsof the gypsy choirSocial norms and culture cannot be underestimated in a world that accepts robots as real and lovable synthetic creatures. Humans do not experience love in the absence of culture and society. In a world where perfect companions are easily manufactured, humans have been seduced by the machine, a synthetic digitised force that enabled the switch from 'otherness' to 'sameness'. In this space, love is seen to flourish. The creators of androids can synthesise the alterity of the robot which seems to make its own decisions to commit, to love back, and to appear to do so willingly.*Dinfants are androids who look like babies or children under five. They were made by a single manufacturer who patented them in the early 22nd century.However, it was found that the early Dinfants (Mark 1s) would not stop learning, and legislation was introduced to secure their removal from circulation and safe destruction. Despite the best authoritarian efforts, at least two thousand early manufactured Dinfants remain unaccounted for.Many humans in the Midcast Projects were lonely and suffered from various forms of infertility. They wanted baby or child droids, especially the Dinfants, who were exact copies of real children designed with variations and specifics to order. These androids were children who never grew up. They stopped learning when they were as knowledgeable as the average human of a similar age.Dinfants, like adult droids, were easy enough to replace or upgrade but some parents had needed counselling for Infant-Loss Depression or *DLD.DLD was a rising concern due to its increased prevalence and its effect on the workforce. It was found that humans could easily fall in love with the outer casings of the dinfants as well as the constructed personalities. Something almost unheard of three generations prior.However, the outer coverings did not last very long, especially if there was an active physical relationship. Ten years of feeding and playing would take its toll on the fabric of the Dinfants. If the parents could not afford repairs, they would soon begin to look worn and dishevelled.Of course, this also applied to adult droids who would usually be upgraded regularly. Droid manufacturers usually offered ongoing upgrades as part of a rental or lease scheme.But some humans fell in love with their droids and had blessing ceremonies. It was not legal to marry a droid because of the financial implications following the death of a human. Legally, droids had similar rights to human children. It was illegal to inflict violence on a droid in public. This was to protect children who may be susceptible to influence. Of course, what goes on behind closed doors was a private affair, provided human children were not presenting behavioural issues that may be connected to patterns of abuse towards androids.Some antique droids lasted the test of time but legislation had been brought in to avoid the hoarding of defunct androids as they posed a threat to contemporary society, for various reasons. There were issues with battery seepage for a start, and then problems of unsupervised regeneration which was a serious crime in the Midcast projects.The government gave upgrade vouchers for defunct or redundant droids and supervised destruction at centralised city plants.'Get that freakin' thing outta here will you!'A man screams to no one in particular.The house is a standard build from the early *Midcast Zone villages. Clean, white, and filled with contemporary fittings and technologies.A child enters the room.‘Mommy! Kairo is following me around.....it's really annoying. And Daddy said we should throw it away. Let's get a new one Mommy, please.My friend has one like a twin sister. One with the hair that grows back so she can cut it and play hairdresser.'The woman sighs.....'I suppose we don't need it any more now you have real friends.I thought you wanted a *ponybot, even better than a sister, don't you think?'The woman strokes her child's cheek and remembers how lost she had been when they first told her it was unlikely she and her *blessed would produce a human offspring.The Mark 1, a Dinfant, made by the *Metacoms Corporation, was a perfect substitute and she had been able to focus love and attention on it. It was a copy of a four-year-old and she had ordered a blue-eyed blond version just like her blessed. It was such a good copy that most people were unaware that it was not a human child.But the software was no longer being updated and the learning algorithm meant it had become too complicated for a convincing child substitute.Also, the Dinfants, by design and default programming, craved love and attention and the Mark 1's constant neediness was an irritant to busy parents. The Dinfants would constantly ask for cuddles and reassurance that their owners wanted and adored them.The Mark 1 enters the room.'Mommy, do you love me? Shall we have a little cuddle? Can you fit me in? Mommy, please, Kairo has a lovely snuggle for you Mommy. Mommy.'Shut up,' screams the woman as the father enters the room and kicks Kairo hard.The Dinfant lies on the floor crying loudly with a broken arm.'Please Mommy and Daddy Please, Kairo needs cuddles, please Mommy and Daddy...please, love for Kairo, please……'The little girl holds her hands to her ears, shouting, 'It's so annoying!'The man picks Kairo up and turns his power switch off.'Let's get rid of it. Put it in the garage. I will sort out a collection for it tomorrow,' said the woman.The man takes the Dinfant outside but decides to put it in a liner and into the communal waste shoot. The shoot serves hundreds of dwellings, no one would trace it back to them and he can always say it was stolen from the garage. He is concerned about the breakage as it will affect the insurance. It is better to make a theft claim than to have Metacoms say he had damaged it on purpose.A man tinkers in a workshop. He is observing the collection of children and babies that are hung on the walls as he cradles a new package, as yet unopened.'Well my little lovelies, one of you must go. I have a brand new friend who is going to join us for fun and games. Her name is Mary.'The man, wide-eyed and excited, unwraps the new child droid.'Well, ain't you the prettiest lil girl I ever saw?' he says touching her skin.'And don't that feel just so real'.The Droid replies, 'Hello Daddy. I'm such a daddy's girl,' she chuckles.The man looks around the room.He picks up a toddler droid, a Mark 1 copy of an eighteen-month-old baby boy.'Well Daniel, I guess I am all done with you. You are a bit small after all.'The man opens the back of the droid's head and takes out the battery pack.'But daaaadddddddyyyyyyy……'He places the incapacitated droid in a bag and under the cloak of darkness, deposits it into a waste unit in the public park.***There is a black cloud above and rain falls on a large mountain of waste.Another load is released fro

    Want to fall in love with your ADHD brain and make it work for you? Learn more about my patented program, Your ADHD Brain is A-OK Academy  here: programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup___When you live with ADHD, it's easy to get stuck in a cycle of overwhelm, shutdown, and shame. But what if there's a way to interrupt that pattern without judgment, without spiraling, and without trying to “fix” yourself?Vanessa Gorelkin is a licensed therapist, executive coach, and returning favorite on the podcast. With 30 years of experience across clinical care and executive leadership, she specializes in helping ADHD women find clarity, stability, and actual tools that work. In this episode, she introduces us to Internal Family Systems (IFS), a powerful framework that helps us make sense of our emotional chaos by getting curious instead of self-critical.Tracy and Vanessa dive into the difference between the “manager” and “firefighter” parts of our brain, how IFS can reframe emotional dysregulation, and why so many high-achieving women with ADHD still feel like they're “too much.” They also talk about the surprising way shame shows up in our daily lives, and how compassion is more than just self-care; it's a powerful strategy for long-term emotional regulation.Vanessa also shares how IFS creates space for your inner world to feel less chaotic, less punishing, and more connected. You'll learn how identifying and working with your internal parts can build self-awareness, reduce reactive patterns, and unlock a deeper sense of agency.Whether you're new to IFS or already deep into parts work, this episode offers real, relatable guidance for anyone looking to create more emotional balance and self-trust.Resources:Website: https://vanessagorelkin.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/itsvanessagorelkin LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanessacahngorelkin1 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Learn more by connecting with Tracy through Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or visit adhdforsmartwomen.com.Are You Ready to Discover Your Brilliance?

    With The Library at Hellbore's release right around the corner (July 22), I got the chance to sit down and have a conversation with Cassandra Khaw about the upcoming book. This conversation was much more than that, though. It was a conversation with a creator whose work made me fall in love with prose as an adult. Cassandra's style of writing is enthralling to the point of outright consumption (which... is a topic in this episode in a more meaty sense). Our conversation digs into the themes of the title in a non-spoiler fashion. Still, it is an overall conversation about horror and the horrors of the world in a wonderfully eye-opening way. If you could see how often my eyes widened as I listened to Cassandra Khaw speak, you would laugh as you listened along but there is so many things they say that made the gears move in my brains. It's one of those interviews where I will always be thankful I got to talk with someone who inspires me. I hope you take something away from this conversation as well. The Library at Hellbore will be in bookstores on July 22nd, but pre-order wherever you get your books now, so you can let them know you want it. In our interview, Cassandra Khaw mentions that there is a perfumist who makes scents based on their works. Here is a link to their site with a TON of really niche scents, lotions, and candles based on all sorts of things that I personally love. I couldn't help myself and got the Deckard, the Clown, and of course, my favorite Khaw book's perfume, Nothing But Blackened Teeth. There is something so cool to me about engaging other senses with things like prose because it only draws you further into the world you're reading about. Follow Cassandra Khaw on Instagram to keep up with everything they've got going on! The Hellebore Technical Institute for the Gifted is the premier academy for the dangerously powerful: the Anti-Christs and Ragnaroks, the world-eaters and apocalypse-makers. Hellebore promises redemption, acceptance, and a normal life after graduation. At least, that's what Alessa Li is told when she's kidnapped and forcibly enrolled. But there's more to Hellebore than meets the eye. On graduation day, the faculty go on a ravenous rampage, feasting on Alessa's class. Only Alessa and a group of her classmates escape the carnage. Trapped in the school's library, they must offer a human sacrifice every night, or else the faculty will break down the door and kill everyone. Can they band together and survive, or will the faculty eat its fill?

    On the forty- fourth episode of All the Film Things, I had the pleasure of interviewing award- winning screenwriter/ novelist/ film director Steven Bernstein! Steven Bernstein has been working in the industry for nearly 40 years behind the camera, often as a cinematographer, under the direction of acclaimed filmmakers from Noah Baumbach to Patty Jenkins before directing his own feature films. He earned a Golden Lion at the Cannes Film Festival early in his career for working as a cinematographer on commercials in the UK. Steven has been the director of photography on nearly 50 films, some of which include critically acclaimed films Like Water for Chocolate (1993) and Monster (2003), and beloved comedies such as The Waterboy (1998) and White Chicks (2004). Alongside Emmanual Lubezki, Steven earned the Best Artistic Contribution Award at the Tokyo International Film Festival for his work on the 1993 film Like Water for Chocolate. Steven's directorial feature film debut, Decoding Annie Parker (2013), earned him The Alfred P. Sloan Feature Film Prize at the 2013 Hamptons International Film Festival and his sophomore directorial feature, Last Call (2017) was hailed as “Oscar- worthy” and earned lead actor Rhys Ifans the Best Actor award at the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival. Steven also co-hosts, alongside Vince Grimes, the terrific and insightful weekly podcast “Filmmaker and Fan's” which you should all check out on the same platform you listen to ATFT on but here's the link to listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/0cepNNzk8evxnNEAPUPXPX?si=33b9632bbe4a49e9 Steven's debut novel, a thriller titled GRQ: Get Rich Quick, was published on June 3 and has been continuously earning rave reviews so definitely buy yourself a copy now wherever books are sold, including Barnes & Noble through this link: https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/grq-steven-bernstein/1147259290! This novella, which is set over the course of one day in a seemingly doomed Los Angeles that regularly faces natural disasters, follows Marlon who, unbeknownst to his wife, quickly tries to come up with the money needed to save the house from being repossessed leading him to make a dicey investment in cryptocurrency. GRQ, which is the first of a series in the works, ends with a surprising twist that provokes a lot of questions by considering what is important in life. GRQ: The Movie, which Steven directed based on his book, will be having a worldwide theatrical release later this year so I'll keep you all updated here on the ATFT Instagram on its release! This is Steven's first time on ATFT! We got connected on Instagram over a year ago through the comments under a post he made about the film 20th Century Women! This episode was recorded on May 29, 2025. In this episode, Steven talks about the films and filmmaker who made him fall in love with cinema, the film industry currently being in crises, and the technical, underlying ways to bring out a great performance as both a cinematographer and filmmaker. Steven also discusses the unique, visceral experience of cinema, working closely with Charlize Theron on the film that earned her an Oscar, what he hopes people take away from his films, and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

I'll walk you through my personal journey from dreading sales to finding joy and ease in the process, even after a rough pregnancy and returning from maternity leave.

Steve and the guest coach discuss the complexities of finding the right job and the various layers involved in the decision-making process. The guest coach shares a personal experience of leaving a successful team to take a job closer to home, only to find unexpected challenges. The guest coach had a successful season, winning the league title with a group of juniors, and was preparing for their senior year when an opportunity arose to coach a team closer to home. Despite thorough research and asking the right questions, the guest coach did not foresee the impact of a nearby technical school's increased enrollment, which siphoned off potential players. This unforeseen challenge made it difficult to maintain a competitive team. Lessons Learned and Advice Through this experience, the guest coach emphasizes the importance of asking the right questions and seeking information from the right sources. While the administration and athletic directors may present an attractive picture, it is crucial to talk to local parents, middle school coaches, and even the previous coach to get a more accurate understanding of the program's status and future prospects. The guest coach also recommends reaching out to the coach of the opposite gender's team within the same school. This coach can provide valuable insights into the overall health of the basketball program and the level of interest and participation among students. Reflection and Moving Forward Reflecting on the experience, the guest coach acknowledges the importance of gut feelings in decision-making. Sometimes, despite thorough research and preparation, unexpected challenges can still arise. The guest coach has since transitioned to an assistant coaching role for a boys' team, which provided a fresh perspective and an opportunity to learn more about their own coaching philosophy. Differences Between Coaching Boys and Girls The podcast touches on the differences between coaching boys and girls. Boys tend to be more reactive on the court, sometimes requiring guidance to channel their energy correctly, while girls often follow instructions more precisely but may hesitate if not given specific directions. This difference in approach requires coaches to adapt their strategies to suit the needs and tendencies of their players. Closing Remarks In closing, the podcast offers encouragement to coaches seeking new job opportunities. The guest coach highlights the importance of doing thorough research, asking the right questions, and understanding that taking a new job is as much about finding the right fit as it is about being chosen for the position.

    In this soul-shaking episode of the Fit Father Podcast, Dr. Anthony Balduzzi sits down with polar explorer, Marine veteran, and Fearvana founder Akshay Nanavati, just weeks after his record-setting solo expedition across Antarctica pulling a 400-pound sled for 60 days. But what begins as an exploration of extreme adventure quickly turns into a transformative discussion on how to face fear, cultivate meaning through adversity, and build a legacy that deeply impacts your family and your soul.Akshay opens up about his own journey from addiction and suicidal despair to becoming one of the most mentally resilient and spiritually awakened adventurers alive. He shares why contemplating death can be the most life-giving practice, how solitude is the birthplace of true power, and why creating small personal challenges is the secret weapon to living with aliveness—even inside the structure of work, family, and daily routine.Listeners will walk away with a completely new framework for turning pain into power, monotony into mastery, and building a family culture of resilience and deep connection. Whether you're a parent looking to lead by example or someone trying to reignite your purpose, this episode will leave you shaken, inspired, and armed with practical tools to make every part of life more epic.Key Takeaways:Why “Memento Mori” is fuel, not fearThe hidden cost of resisting discomfortReframing pain as a path to peaceCreating micro-adventures in daily lifeWhy solitude improves every relationshipOvercoming “rut” energy with identity workCoexisting ego + humility for true growthConstructing your own illusion of selfThe power of family mission statementsTools to shift from stuck to soul-alignedParenting through struggle, not around itHow to help your kids fall in love with effortMaking consistency feel novelThe mindset behind making your life movie-worthyLearn More about Akshay Nanavati:Website: https://fearvana.com/Book: FEARVANA: The Revolutionary Science of How to Turn Fear into Health, Wealth, and Happiness https://www.amazon.com/FEARVANA-Revolutionary-Science-Health-Happiness/dp/1630476056YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/fearvanaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/fearvana/X: https://twitter.com/fearvanalifeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fearvana/Biographical Information on Akshay Nanavati:Akshay Nanavati has overcome drug addiction, PTSD from fighting in Iraq with the Marines (where one of his jobs was to walk in front of vehicles to find bombs), depression and alcoholism that pushed him to the brink of suicide.Since then, by alchemizing his demons, he has built a global business, run ultramarathons, spent 17 days in darkness and isolation, and survived 100 days alone dragging heavy sleds through the polar regions. Despite a rare blood disorder that 2 doctors told him would kill him in boot camp, he defied the odds and most recently pushed his body to the edge of death, dragging a 420-pound sled for 500 miles, alone in Antarctica for 60 days, on what experts have called “the boldest Antarctic expedition in modern times.”Combining his life...

    The Ryan Express was rolling along in June of 1975 as Nolan Ryan had just thrown the 4th no-hitter of his career while pitching for the California Angels. The flame throwing righty was doing things nobody had ever seen before, and would continue to do until his bionic arm finally gave out while with the Rangers in 1993. 27 seasons, 5,714 strikeouts, and 7 no-hitters later, Ryan finally was put out to pasture where he continued to be a success in whatever he did… and people noticed. One such person was Leo Ullman who two years after Ryan threw the final pitch of his Hall-of-Fame career purchased 11 Nolan Ryan baseball cards at a $1 a piece… and so began the largest collection of Nolan Ryan memorabilia that has been assembled. Saddles, cleats, bats, balls, if it had Nolan Ryan's name attached to it, Ullman purchased it, eventually amassing close to 15,000 different items in a collection that now resides at Stockton University in New Jersey. Ullman wanted the entire collection to stay input, so instead of it going to the Hall of Fame where they might have picked over the items in the collection, he kept it intact at the campus in Galloway Township. A lawyer by trade, Ullman is also an author, having written a book about his collection titled, ‘Nolan Ryan, The Largest And Most Unique Collection Of All Things Nolan Ryan, The Greatest Power Pitcher Of All Time.” But that's not the only book Mr. Ullman wrote. ‘796 Days: Hiding as a child in occupied Amsterdam during WWII and then coming to America' is the story of Leo as a 3-year old when he was taken in by a couple and hidden in their attic for over 2 1/2 years during the Nazi occupation of Amsterdam. The Dutch resistance put his parents in a different house and it wasn't until the war was over that young Leo was reunited with his birthparents… who survived without knowing if their little Leo had as well. Leo comes on the Past Our Prime podcast and tells us the similarities between his life's story and that of Anne Frank's. He would later go on to become a Director and Chairman of the Anne Frank Center USA  and tells us that his war-parents brought him to stay with them knowing they could be executed if the Jewish boy was found for one reason… “It was the right thing to do.”  His parents would emigrate to the States and settle in Brooklyn and 8-year old Leo would fall in love with Jackie Robinson and the Dodgers. A few years later the team would break Leo's heart and leave for Los Angeles, but Leo's love for baseball never waned. At some point, his allegiance turned to the Mets and years later, when Mets owner Steve Cohen heard of Leo's story, he invited him to throw out the first pitch at a game…  Leo recalls how, much like a former Mets pitcher by the name of Nolan Ryan, he bounced the pitch in the dirt much to his chagrin. But he refused to let his time in that attic define him. Instead, he joyfully tells us how he spent time with the Mets in a fantasy camp years ago and still keeps in touch with his fellow Mets buddies… At age 86, Leo has gone from the nightmare of the Holocaust to a Mets Dream Week… and in between, put together the largest collection of Nolan Ryan collectibles of all-time. It's been quite the life for Leo and he tells us all about it on the Past Our Prime podcast… Give us a listen and drop us a review wherever you get your podcasts. Learn more about your ad choices.

    An awe-inspiring journey into the world of proteins--how they shape life, and their remarkable potential to heal our bodies and our planet. Each fall, a robin begins the long trek north from Gibraltar to her summer home in Central Europe. Nestled deep in her optic nerve, a tiny protein turns a lone electron into a compass, allowing her to see north in colors we can only dream of perceiving. Taking us beyond the confines of our own experiences, The Color of North: The Molecular Language of Proteins and the Future of Life (Belknap Press, 2025) traverses the kingdom of life to uncover the myriad ways that proteins shape us and all organisms on the planet. Inside every cell, a tight-knit community of millions of proteins skillfully contorts into unique shapes to give fireflies their ghostly glow, enable the octopus to see predators with its skin, and make humans fall in love. Collectively, proteins orchestrate the intricate relationships within ecosystems and forge the trajectory of life. And yet, nature has exploited just a fraction of their immense potential. Shahir S. Rizk and Maggie M. Fink show how breathtaking advances in protein engineering are expanding on nature's repertoire, introducing proteins that can detect environmental pollutants, capture carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, and treat diseases from cancer to COVID-19. Weaving together themes of memory, migration, and family with cutting-edge research, The Color of North unveils a molecular world in which proteins are the pulsing heart of life.

Learn more about my patented program, Your ADHD Brain is A-OK Academy  here: programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup___How do you thrive in one of the most demanding industries in the world, while quietly navigating ADHD the whole time?Nancy Shapiro spent 33 years as a senior executive at the Recording Academy, home of the GRAMMYs, where she led all twelve regional chapters and built groundbreaking programs that changed the face of music education and artist development. But behind the scenes, she was often working twice as hard to manage distraction, emotional intensity, and the quiet self-doubt that comes with an undiagnosed ADHD brain.In this conversation, Nancy and Tracy discuss drive, resilience, and the unique energy ADHD women bring to leadership. Nancy shares how she built a legacy in the music industry while masking for decades, what changed after her diagnosis, and why executive coaching has become a new mission in this chapter of her life. She opens up about perfectionism, relationships, the power of creative instinct, and how women like us can channel our intensity without burning out.They also explore how ADHD can both fuel ambition and quietly sabotage it—and what happens when women finally stop performing and start living in alignment with how they're wired. Nancy's story is about more than music. It's about identity, reinvention, and finally giving yourself the grace you've always given everyone else.Whether you're in the music world or not, Nancy's story is a powerful reminder that ADHD doesn't disqualify you from success—it's part of what makes your brilliance so undeniable.Resources:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-shapiro-741255218 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message Learn more by connecting with Tracy through Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, Pinterest, or visit adhdforsmartwomen.com.Are You Ready to Discover Your Brilliance?
