(00:00:00) Gwendolyn Ruth Dickinson talks about her grandfather William Chester Ruth (1882–1971) who was an African American machinist, inventor, and business owner from Pennsylvania. Born in Ercildoun to parents who overcame slavery, Ruth developed a passion for machinery early on, leading him to establish Ruth's Ironworks Shop in Gap, PA, in 1922. Over his career, he secured more than 50 patents for agricultural innovations, including the Combination Baler Feeder and a self-lifting farm elevator, significantly enhancing farming efficiency. Beyond his mechanical contributions, Ruth was a respected community leader and lay minister, dedicating his life to both technological advancement and spiritual guidance.

The federal government has released its latest report card on its Closing the Gap targets, which are meant to improve the lives of Indigenous Australians. The data shows just four of the 19 targets are on track. - 先住民とそうでない人の間の格差を解消するための全国的な政府の取り組み「Closing the Gap」。その進捗をはかる2026年の報告書が公表されました。目標達成期限まで残り５年を残すなか、19の目標のうち順調に進んでいるのは４つです。

In this message from our Sermon on the Mount series, Pastor Aaron walks through Matthew 5:17–20 and answers a question that has caused confusion for generations:What does it mean that Jesus fulfilled the Law?Did Jesus abolish the Law of Moses? Are Christians still under the Old Covenant? What was the purpose of the Law in the first place?Pastor Aaron explains how the Law was never the finish line. It was the guardrail pointing to God's standard of holiness and our need for a Savior. Jesus did not erase the Law. He fulfilled it. He lived the perfect life we could not live and became the sacrifice we could not offer.You will also learn a simple evangelism tool called “The Gap and the Gospel” to help you clearly explain why we all need Jesus.

What if sin was never a stain on who you are but simply a belief in separation?In this deeply reflective episode, Jen unravels the lifelong conditioning many of us inherited around original sin, worthiness, and the quiet belief that something is wrong with us. Raised in a faith-filled Catholic household, Jen shares how a single quote stopped her in her tracks and opened a powerful inquiry: What if love is the opposite of original sin?Together, we explore how the idea of separation from God, from love, from our bodies, from our wholeness fuels comparison, self-sabotage, and the endless search for “what's missing.” Jen weaves personal stories, spiritual insight, and embodied wisdom to remind us that we are not broken, flawed, or lacking we are already holy, divine, and complete.This episode invites you to move beyond intellectual self-love and into felt knowing to experience love not as something to earn, seek, or receive from outside yourself, but as the very essence of who you are.You'll hear reflections on:Why believing something is “missing” creates more separationHow faith teachings can unintentionally reinforce unworthinessThe shift from living in “the gap” to living in “the gain” (inspired by The Gap and the Gain)Why embodimentnot mindset aloneis essential for healingWhat it truly means to have a love affair with yourselfThis conversation is for the woman who has asked, “What is wrong with me?” and is ready to remember the truth:Nothing is missing.Nothing is wrong.You are love itself.A powerful listen for the month of love and for any woman ready to feel chosen, cherished, and whole.

In this episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, Matt Sabatello sits down with Yuri Kim, the lead clinical research nurse for MIT's MAESTRO study, described as one of the largest studies in MIT history focused on Lyme disease and Infection-Associated Chronic Illnesses (IACI). Yuri explains how MAESTRO is collecting deep symptom histories and objective measurements—from eye tracking and EEG/P300 auditory testing to NASA Lean dysautonomia testing, capillaroscopy, and multi-sample biological collection—to identify patterns that validate patient experiences and accelerate real-world clinical understanding. Yuri's story is equally compelling: she began as an ER nurse in a Level 1 trauma center, transitioned into research nursing (including neurodegenerative and traumatic brain injury work), moved to South Korea during the pandemic, and ultimately joined MIT after a conversation with Dr. Mikki Tal changed the course of her career. Throughout the conversation, Yuri shares what she's learned from MAESTRO participants: a community often exhausted and dismissed, yet profoundly motivated to help others and drive scientific progress forward. Key Takeaways (Fast Scan) MAESTRO is nearing ~200 participants enrolled, with the chronic Lyme cohort full and enrollment closing soon. The study aims to objectively measure symptoms often dismissed as “anxiety” or “depression,” especially brain fog and dysautonomia. MAESTRO uses multiple cognitive and neurologic measures, including RightEye eye tracking, EEG + P300 auditory “oddball” testing, and remote cognitive battery tests. The team added capillaroscopy (nailfold and toe microvascular imaging) to explore vascular patterns and hemorrhages in chronic illness cohorts. Dysautonomia testing includes NASA Lean Test plus an earpiece device to estimate proxy cerebral blood flow, sometimes showing abnormalities even when vitals look “normal.” Extensive biological sampling (oral, blood, vaginal/rectal) supports proteomics/immune profiling and deeper molecular analysis. Yuri emphasizes: patients' willingness to participate—despite severe symptoms—is the engine of progress and future change. Detailed Chapter-by-Chapter Show Notes 1) Meet Yuri Kim: The Human Side of Cutting-Edge Lyme Research Matt introduces Yuri as the clinical research nurse leading day-to-day operations of MIT's MAESTRO study—positioning her as a rare bridge between lab science, clinicians, and patients. Yuri shares that the study is approaching enrollment completion and that the team is eager to analyze a large dataset to “speak up” for participants who have suffered without clear explanations. Highlights: MAESTRO is one of MIT's largest studies, with enrollment nearing completion. The mission is to transform patient suffering into measurable signals, data, and insight. 2) Yuri's Background: Pharma, ER Nursing, Research, and Why This Work Became Personal Yuri explains her path: early work as a medical information specialist in pharma (including literature searches and clinician guidance, often involving off-label questions), then an intense period as a Level 1 ER nurse where she witnessed both acute crises and chronic illness desperation. Key insight:Yuri notes that in pharma and ER settings, she repeatedly saw the same reality—patients searching for answers, clinicians constrained by time, and chronic illness voices falling through the cracks. 3) From the ER to Neuro Research: Brain Inflammation, TBI, and the Gap in Chronic Illness Care Yuri left ER work largely due to the physical toll of night shifts and moved into academic research at Boston University. She worked on complex studies involving Alzheimer's, amyloidosis, and traumatic brain injury. Matt asks whether Lyme came up in those neuro settings. Yuri says no—but now she views neurodegenerative symptoms differently and believes clinicians should consider underlying root causes, including infection. Listener connection:This segment reinforces how often Lyme-related cognitive decline can be misinterpreted or missed when viewed through siloed specialties. 4) Lyme Awareness Outside the U.S.: South Korea, Tick-Borne Illness, and Global Blind Spots During the pandemic, Yuri relocated to South Korea. She shares that Lyme isn't commonly discussed there, though other tick-borne illnesses exist. Yuri underscores a global concern: agricultural and rural communities face tick exposure without awareness of the chronic implications. 5) How Yuri Joined Dr. Mikki Tal and MAESTRO (And Why She Changed Her Mind) One of the most memorable segments: Yuri reveals she had already accepted another MIT nursing role—but after speaking with Dr. Tal, she pivoted immediately, calling it the best career decision she's ever made. Why it matters: It shows how MAESTRO is not just a study; it's a mission-driven effort that attracts top clinical talent. 6) Day One at MAESTRO: Meeting the Severely Ill and the Community's Unmatched Generosity Yuri recounts a powerful early experience: meeting a participant who was bedbound and profoundly symptomatic, yet eager to contribute anything possible to help the community. Matt connects this to Tick Boot Camp's origin story: people with minimal energy still showed up to help others. The theme becomes clear—Lyme patients are often depleted but relentlessly generous. What MAESTRO Measures (The Four-Hour Visit Breakdown) 7) Brain Fog: Why MAESTRO Treats It as a Complex Phenomenon Yuri explains MAESTRO's approach: brain fog isn't one symptom. It can involve memory, processing speed, visual stimulation sensitivity, pain-triggered cognition changes, and motor response delays. Core idea: MAESTRO attempts to measure brain fog from multiple angles—visual processing, auditory processing, reaction time, and executive function. 8) RightEye Eye Tracking: Visual Stimulus + Reaction Time as Objective Signal Participants complete a structured set of ocular motor tasks (pursuit, saccades) and reaction-time games (shape recognition mapped to numbered inputs). Yuri notes many chronic illness participants struggle even with basic saccades, often aligning with reported visual disturbances. What MAESTRO is measuring: Ocular motor control Visual processing Decision speed Reaction time consistency 9) EEG + P300 “Oddball” Test: Auditory Processing Meets Motor Output Participants wear an EEG cap (19 regions) and listen to tones: common low-pitch and rare high-pitch. They must press the spacebar only for the rare tone. Yuri notes that even a 4-minute test can be exhausting for people with cognitive dysfunction, and participants often describe a frustrating “delay” between knowing what to do and physically doing it. Why this matters: This may help validate cognitive dysfunction even when standard office screening looks normal. 10) Remote Cognitive Battery Testing: Scaling Measurement Beyond MIT Participants complete executive function tests at home (memory, Stroop-like color-word matching, trail-making tasks). Yuri emphasizes why this matters: many patients can't travel, and symptoms vary dramatically by day, cycle, and crash patterns. Big future direction: Remote testing could expand access to bedbound patients and capture “good day vs bad day” variability. 11) Dysautonomia & POTS: NASA Lean Test + Proxy Cerebral Blood Flow Yuri details NASA Lean testing: supine rest, then standing/leaning while monitoring vitals and symptoms. The standout: sometimes vitals appear stable while patients feel intensely symptomatic—yet the cerebral blood flow proxy measurement fluctuates significantly. Clinical implication discussed: This approach could become a tool for identifying dysautonomia-related issues when standard vitals “look fine.” 12) Capillaroscopy: Nailfold + Toe Microvascular Imaging MAESTRO added capillaroscopy to examine microvascular patterns, including abnormal shapes and possible hemorrhages seen more frequently in chronic cohorts (as her clinical observations suggest). They also measure capillaries pre- and post-NASA Lean to explore whether symptomatic shifts correlate with microvascular changes. Why patients find it meaningful: They can visually see something measurable that aligns with how they feel. 13) Standard Neuro Screening Doesn't Capture Lyme Brain Fog Yuri shares a crucial point: participants often perform fine on standard screens like the Mini-Mental State Exam, suggesting that infection-associated cognitive dysfunction can be subtle, dynamic, and not detected by traditional tools—reinforcing the need for MAESTRO-style measurement. Biological Samples: “Measure Everything” (Head to Toe) 14) Multi-Sample Collection: Oral, Blood, Vaginal, Rectal Yuri explains the breadth of biological sampling, including saliva/oral samples (cotton chew + gum swab), multiple blood tubes, and sex-specific sampling to explore immune, hormonal, microbiome, and gynecologic dimensions. Why it's being done: To connect symptom clusters to molecular patterns and explore sex differences in chronic illness response. 15) Storage, Batch Effects, and What Happens After Enrollment Closes Samples are aliquoted and stored at -80°C until they can be processed/shipped in ways that minimize batch effects. The next phase is analysis and collaboration—including proteomics and immune signaling exploration. 16) Giving Back to Participants: The Challenge and the Intention Yuri acknowledges the “fine line” between research-only testing and clinically actionable reporting, but stresses MIT's intention to return what can be responsibly shared through certified partners—while being careful not to over-interpret research findings. Collaboration, Scaling, and What Comes Next 17) Collaboration Across Institutions: The Missing Platform Matt compares Lyme research needs to cybersecurity threat-sharing between banks: competitors collaborate because the threat is bigger than any one organization. Yuri agrees and highlights the need for secure data-sharing platforms—similar to large national efforts in other fields. 18) What's Next: Focus on Female Brain Fog, Hormones, and Remote Studies Yuri previews upcoming directions: Brain fog and hormone cycle relationships Differentiating infection-associated cognitive dysfunction vs menopause-related brain fog Remote/at-home measurement studies to reach more symptomatic and bedbound patients Potential collaborations with pediatric and neuroimmune experts Closing Message: Hope Without Hype Yuri's message to patients and families is simple and emotional: “Please don't give up.” She believes answers are coming because serious teams are working together—and because patients are driving the research forward with their participation.

Continuing our Bridging the Gap series, this seminar explores how researchers, policy-makers and members of the public can work together to translate scientific knowledge into practical, lasting action. Drawing on her experience chairing Ireland's Citizens' Assembly on Biodiversity Loss, and more recently her work as Chair of the Independent Advisory Committee on Nature Restoration, Dr Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin will discuss what insights we can take from examples of deliberative democracy and public engagement. Named a European Young Leader for her work to promote equality, innovation and inclusion in mathematics education, and in light of Ireland preparing to take over the Presidency of the Council of the EU in July, Dr Ní Shúilleabháin will also explore how academia can best contribute to the development of public policy. The seminar will be of interest to researchers, policymakers, practitioners, and anyone interested in connecting research and public participation. Dr Aoibhinn Ní Shúilleabháin is an award-winning science communicator and educator and is Associate Professor in the School of STEM Education, Innovation and Global Studies at DCU.   She was appointed by the Taoiseach in 2022 to chair the Citizens' Assembly on Biodiversity Loss, and in her role as chair of the Independent Advisory Committee on Nature Restoration is contributing to the development of Ireland's Nature Restoration Plan.   Learn more at www.tcd.ie/trinitylongroomhub

Nakia shares hard-earned wisdom from across the nonprofit, public, and education sectors — plus real, practical ways leaders can redesign board engagement for today's realities.If you're ready to reimagine your board as a source of trust, courage, and shared leadership — not just oversight — this conversation is your invitation.Takeaways:Why boards can only be true culture carriers when CEOs and executive directors create intentional spaceHow outdated board models limit trust — and what co-creation with boards really looks likeWhat healthy, values-aligned board and executive partnerships require in practiceHow to activate board members beyond fundraising by clarifying expectations and “the ask”Why onboarding, training, and ongoing relationship-building are essential to board effectivenessHow small wins, honest conversations, and shared stories unlock deeper board engagementEpisode Highlights:Board Evolution: From Stable Funding to Strategic Redesign (07:37)​The Gap in Board Role Perception and True Influence (12:18)​Authentic Mission Connections Through Program Exposure (15:11)​Healthy Partnerships = Brené Brown's "Rumbling" (16:44)​Intentional Engagement Beyond Meetings (19:16)​Activating + Training Your Boards (20:30)​Activate with Specific Asks and Training (23:31)​Bring Programs to Boards for Storytelling Power (24:11)​Nakia's One Good Thing: Intentions, Space, Small Wins (27:03)Episode Shownotes: www.weareforgood.com/episode/682Save your free seat at the We Are For Good Summit

Picture a corporate wellness landscape where companies are tired of boring PowerPoint workshops but also can't justify wine tastings when burnout is a WHS compliance issue.There's a gap there. A big one.And what if you could fill it?Today's guest, Dr. Mitzi Liddle, is doing exactly that. She's teaching corporations about play and pleasure - yes, you read that right - as nervous system regulation tools. Not fluff. Not entertainment. Neuroscience-backed performance enhancement.And teams are actually booking it.HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:1️⃣ Play Isn't Childish—It's a Nervous System Tool – When Mitzi started noticing corporate teams responded better to movement, music, and laughter than traditional lecture-style workshops, she followed that thread. Play and pleasure aren't frivolous—they're pathways to regulate your nervous system out of chronic stress and burnout. They bring you into your window of tolerance where creativity, energy, and clear thinking actually live.2️⃣ There's a Gap in Corporate Wellness (And You Can Fill It) – Organizations don't want boring PowerPoint workshops. But they also don't want wine tastings that waste time. They want something engaging AND evidence-based. Something that addresses real burnout while meeting psychological safety requirements. If you can position experiential work with neuroscience backing, you've found the sweet spot.3️⃣ Diversification Doesn't Mean Starting Over – Mitzi's been a psychologist for 20+ years. She didn't abandon her expertise—she expanded it. Corporate playshops for teams. Group programs for individual women. Both use the same foundation (play, pleasure, nervous system regulation) but serve different audiences. You don't need a brand new skill set. You need strategic positioning.YOU'LL ALSO HEAR:Why "playshops" get better engagement than traditional burnout prevention workshopsHow to position play and pleasure so corporations take it seriously (and pay for it)The neuroscience behind why these "soft" concepts actually work as performance toolsWhat changes when you follow your energy instead of grinding through what you think you "should" doHow Mitzi created her beta program fast—and what supported that momentumWhy dabbling and experimenting is actually the path (not a failure to commit)The one piece of advice for therapists who want something different but feel stuckRESOURCES:Connect with Dr. Mitzi Liddle:Website: www.drmitziliddle.com.auInstagram: @drmitziliddleTherapists Rising Programs:The Incubator: therapistsrising.com/incubatorThe Collective Mastermind: therapistsrising.com/collectiveInstagram: @dr.hayleykellySUBSCRIBE & REVIEW:If this episode made you rethink what's possible for your practice, subscribe and review on Apple Podcasts.

Day 1,446.Today, in a rare public outburst against the Trump administration, Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov accuses the United States of “backtracking” on the so-called Anchorage Agreement, under which Washington allegedly agreed to pressure Ukraine into ceding parts of the Donbas that Russian forces have failed to capture after nearly four years of war. We examine President Zelensky's comments suggesting that a new White House peace deadline may be linked to Donald Trump's US midterm election campaign, and report on how Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán is seeking to leverage the war in Ukraine to shore up domestic political support.

Do you have clients you just can't seem to reach—even though your tools work brilliantly with others? This episode reveals why traditional coaching methods often fall short with certain clients and what's really happening beneath the surface.  The Clients You Can't Reach  The Cycler Makes progress for weeks, then suddenly spirals back as if none of the work happened. You're building a foundation on quicksand.  The "Fine" Client Goes to work, takes care of responsibilities, shows up with a smile. They say they're okay—might even believe it—but you sense a flatness, a wall you can't get past.  The Body That Won't Heal Chronic fatigue, digestive issues, brain fog, insomnia, mystery pains their doctor can't explain. Stress management isn't helping because the body is holding something the mind can't release.  The Chronic Second-Guesser Can't make any decision—career moves, purchases, even what to eat for lunch. They've lost access to their inner knowing, and no amount of "trust yourself" coaching restores it.  The Analyzer Stuck obsessively revisiting the story, looking for new angles and insights. You've tried guiding them toward the future, but they can't leave the scene of the crime.  What's Really Happening: Unhealed Betrayal  These patterns all point to unhealed betrayal and Post Betrayal Syndrome®—a collection of physical, mental, and emotional symptoms so common to betrayal it's now formally recognized.  The Trust Shattering Effect:  Betrayal doesn't just break trust in others—it shatters trust in your own mind, judgment, and sense of reality  Clients can't trust their own thinking: "I believed this was what trust looked like, and I was completely wrong"  Without rebuilding self-trust first, they outsource their entire lives  Why "Fine" Isn't Finished: Stage Three of the Five Stages from Betrayal to Breakthrough™ is where clients feel functional again—but transformation doesn't even begin until Stages Four and Five. Clients at "fine" are managing symptoms, building walls, and missing the actual breakthrough.  The Gap in Traditional Training  You're not failing your clients—you were never trained for this. Even the right tool at the wrong stage won't land.  Common Mismatches:  Pushing someone to trust others before they've rebuilt self-trust  Creating a new identity when they're still in shock and trauma  Accepting "I'm fine" at face value when they're only halfway through  Using general trust-building when they need the specific components rebuilt  The Real Problem (And Solution)  When you don't know the Five Stages, you can't identify:  What stage your client is in  What language they're using  What they actually need right now  How to move them forward efficiently and correctly  Each stage has:  Specific phrasing clients use  Particular presentations and behaviors  Unique needs and readiness levels  Precise tools and approaches that work  Who This Serves  Whether you're a business coach, health coach, somatic practitioner, or any type of coach—betrayal-affected clients are coming your way. These tools work as:  A specialty focus if you want to work primarily with this population  Essential additions to your toolkit for when betrayal clients appear  The missing piece that lets you serve all your clients effectively  Key Takeaways  It's not your fault—this training wasn't available  It's not your client's fault—they're not being resistant, they're starting from a different place  Your tools are good; they just need to match the stage  The gap is closing—now you can learn exactly what to do  Learn More: The PBT Certification Program teaches you to identify stages, use stage-appropriate language, and guide clients from betrayal to breakthrough with confidence.  Visit: ThePBTInstitute.com

Host: Stevi Fanning, Windermere Real EstateStevi Fanning brings extensive experience in real estate coaching and strategic business development to the Windermere Coaching Minute. As a trusted voice in the industry, Stevie helps real estate professionals build sustainable, scalable businesses through practical strategies and mindset shifts that drive real results.Welcome to Week 3 of our 28-Day AI Challenge! This week marks a crucial shift AI transitions from being a writing assistant to becoming your strategic business partner.Before diving in, remember Dan Sullivan's "Gap and Gain" principle: Don't measure yourself against an ideal (the gap). Instead, celebrate how far you've come (the gain). Ask yourself: "What can I do now that I couldn't do three weeks ago?"Golden Rule Reminder: Never input confidential client information into AI no names, addresses, or financial details. Client trust always comes first.Strategic thinking separates professionals who are merely busy from those building sustainable, scalable businesses. This week focuses on:Explaining markets more clearlyStrengthening marketing strategyTurning data into client-ready talking pointsAdding value beyond the transactionSharpening what makes you uniqueDay 15 - Market InterpretationLearn to translate market data into meaningful client dialogue. Clients need you to connect the dots, not recite statistics. Upload local market stats and prompt: "Help me explain this data to nervous buyers in a calm, clear way."Day 16 - Marketing Strategy ChallengeHave AI play devil's advocate with your marketing plan. Most agents have marketing activity, not strategy. Ask: "What am I missing? Am I targeting the right audience? Measuring ROI?"Day 17 - Client-Ready Talking PointsTransform market snapshots into compelling conversations. Prompt: "Turn these numbers into three talking points for sellers that create urgency without fear." This becomes your expertise in action.Day 18 - Post-Closing ValueBuild relationships, not just transactions. Brainstorm ways to add value after closing: quarterly equity check-ins, maintenance guides, tax documentation support. Pick one strategy and master it.Day 19 - Your Unique PositioningArticulate what makes you different. Upload your buyer/seller guides and ask: "Help me describe what makes working with me different in a way that feels confident and professional."Day 20 - Strategic Content CreationCreate content that builds trust, not noise. Develop 60-second market updates that position you as the calm, knowledgeable expert clients need during uncertain times.Day 21 - ReflectionAssess your progress: Has my thinking changed? What's clearer? What's faster? What can I do now that I couldn't before? This is your gain.AI doesn't replace your expertise it amplifies it. Agents who thrive communicate better, interpret markets effectively, and build trust beyond transactions. This week, you're learning to do exactly that.Now go implement one thing you learned today. Your business and clients will be better for it.Stevi Fanning, Windermere Coaching Minute

In a world of shifting policies and "Wild West" internet searches, how do you find the truth? This episode dives into the recent major changes in the caregiver support world, including the transition of AlzAuthors under the leadership of All Home Care Matters.

The Neuroscience of Thriving: How Women Leaders Transform Burnout Into Happiness and High Performance With 60% of senior women reporting record burnout (McKinsey, 2025) and 82% of all employees at burnout risk, the happiness crisis demands neuroscience-based solutions. Dr. Paul Zak reveals the "key moments" framework, Love Plus algorithm, and immersion science that transforms workplace well being, leadership culture, and sustained career success. • Happy workers are 13% more productive, with wellbeing interventions showing 10-21% productivity gains (Oxford, 2024) • 50% of happiness comes from quality social relationships—80% of "key moments" are social experiences • Women leaders who invest in relationships develop different brain activity patterns for sustained thriving • The "do-not-do list" creates bandwidth for extraordinary experiences that prevent burnout • Silence, volunteering, and authentic vulnerability are neuroscience-backed practices for long-term happiness As an executive coach with over 30 years of experience (MA, MFT, PCC) and host of the Women's Leadership Success Podcast (900,000+ downloads, top 1.5% globally), I'm witnessing an unprecedented crisis: 60% of senior-level women report feeling frequently burned out—the highest level ever recorded (McKinsey, 2025). And it's getting worse. WebMD Health Services research shows burnout perceptions increased by over 25% from 2022 to 2024, with 82% of all employees now at burnout risk. Gen X women leaders, senior managers, and directors face the highest rates—precisely the women who should be thriving at the peak of their careers. But what if the solution isn't "work-life balance" programs or meditation apps? What if neuroscience reveals a completely different approach to sustained happiness and high performance? In Part 2 of my interview with Dr. Paul Zak—pioneering neuroscientist and author of "Immersion: The Science of the Extraordinary and the Source of Happiness"—we explore the brain-based framework for thriving that transforms how women leaders approach wellbeing, create extraordinary workplace cultures, and sustain career success without sacrificing happiness. The Thriving Crisis: Why Traditional Wellbeing Programs Fail Women Leaders Fast Company (2025) reports that throughout 2025, companies treated employees with "stunning disregard": rolling layoffs, unchecked workloads, and blind eyes to burnout. Over 200,000 American women quit their jobs this year, citing inflexible policies and lack of support. For women leaders specifically: • Only 26% strongly agree their organization cares about their wellbeing (Gallup, 2025) • 42% of working women say their job has had a negative impact on mental health (vs. 37% of men) • Women who feel stressed daily are 46% more likely to actively seek new jobs • 36% of full-time women have a mismatch between preferred and actual work arrangements Why the Gap? Most organizations spent the past decade conflating wellbeing with wellness programs. They handed out meditation apps, gym stipends, and yoga classes while ignoring the root causes: uncaring managers, lack of connection, always-on expectations, and feeling unappreciated. The result? Burnout soared, engagement flat-lined, and the best women leaders walked awa What Neuroscience Reveals About Thriving vs. Surviving "The book has the title Happiness in it, but it's really about thriving," Dr. Zak clarifies. "How do I extend positive mood and high energy over my lifetime?" Using distributed neuroscience technology and the Six app (measuring brain activity continuously at one-second frequency), Dr. Zak's research team discovered something revolutionary: People who have 6 or more "key moments" daily are truly thriving—engaged in life, resilient to stress, and sustaining high performance. What Are Key Moments and Why Do They Matter? "Key moments are high-value experiences that help us grow as human beings and thrive," Dr. Zak explains. "What we found is that the systems in the brain that give us these high-value moments are deep in the brainstem, hidden from our conscious awareness." Dr. Paul Zak This explains why traditional self-assessment wellbeing surveys fail: Most people cannot accurately identify what truly makes them happy. "When we ask people, 'What was your most important moment yesterday?' they don't know," Dr. Zak reveals. "Because it's hidden from conscious awareness. Many times, people will do something they think is really fun that doesn't give their brain a lot of value." The Neuroscience: Why Social Connection Drives Happiness Recent research from Oxford University confirms what Dr. Zak's neuroscience proves: About 50% of our happiness is due to the quality of our social relationships. But here's the critical finding for women leaders: 80% of key moments are social experiences. "It's the people that give me that ability to be present and emotionally open," Dr. Zak emphasizes. "Sometimes I'll get a key moment when I'm really in a great writing project, but mostly, it's when I'm out at a conference, having dinner with people, giving talks." The Leadership Implication: Women leaders facing declining corporate support (only 54% of companies now prioritize women's advancement) cannot wait for organizational culture change. You must proactively create the social connections and immersive experiences that sustain your brain's capacity to thrive. The Two Core Components: Presence and Emotional Openness 1. Being Present "If I'm distracted, it's not going to be a good experience for me," Dr. Zak explains. "So I'll often take my phone and just turn it off in meetings. Hey, you guys, this is an important meeting, I need all the phones off." For Women Leaders: • Create technology-free zones during strategic thinking and team conversations • Block "thinking time" on your calendar—treat it as sacred as client meetings • Practice "walking in silence" to oxygenate your brain and generate ideas • Use the 60-90 minute rule: take 5-minute movement breaks to maintain cognitive clarity 2. Being Emotionally Open "Do we want to be around people who don't share their emotions with us?" Dr. Zak asks. "No. If I say 'I'm having a tough day' and you're like 'oh, that's terrible' with no emotion—that's not a friend, that's a robot." Emotional experiences are saved in memory in a particular way that makes them more easily accessible. When you share authentic emotions, you activate neural pathways that build trust, create connection, and generate the key moments that sustain thriving. Critical for Women Leaders: This isn't about oversharing or being "too emotional" (a bias women already face). It's about strategic vulnerability that makes you relatable, trustworthy, and capable of building the deep connections that drive both happiness and high performance. The Love Plus Algorithm: A Neuroscience Framework for Daily Happiness When Time Magazine asked Dr. Zak to write three sentences on New Year's resolutions, he created what he calls his "algorithm for living a happy and fulfilled life": Love Plus. The Love Plus Framework: L - Love and be loved Invest deeply in relationships. Research shows 50% of happiness comes from social connection quality. For women leaders, this means prioritizing meaningful relationships with family, friends, and trusted colleagues—not just networking transactions. O - Openness to new experiences Travel, try new activities, engage with different perspectives. Novel experiences create neurological growth and generate key moments that sustain thriving. V - Volunteering and giving back "The evidence is so overwhelming that helping others makes you happy," Dr. Zak notes. Even small acts of generosity—buying a colleague coffee, mentoring a junior team member—create reciprocal happiness loops. E - Exercise Physical movement isn't just wellness theater. It oxygenates the brain, reduces stress hormones, and creates conditions for key moments to emerge. PLUS: • Purpose: Connect daily work to larger meaning and impact • Learning: Continuous growth through reading, courses, new skills • Unique experiences: Prioritize extraordinary moments that create lasting memories • Silence: Create space for reflection, creativity, and strategic thinking How Women Leaders Apply Love Plus Daily Dr. Zak's framework isn't theoretical—it's immediately actionable: Morning: 10 minutes of silence before checking devices (builds presence, reduces cortisol) Workday: 2-3 "connection moments" with team members beyond task management (builds trust, creates key moments) Lunch: Walk outside without phone (exercise + silence + openness to new observations) Afternoon: Learn something new—read an article, take a short course, explore a topic (continuous learning) Evening: Invest in deep relationships—quality time with family/friends, not just logistics (love and be loved) Weekly: Volunteer or mentor (giving back creates sustained happiness) The Do-Not-Do List: Creating Bandwidth for Thriving "Many executives tell me they don't have time for key moments," Dr. Zak acknowledges. His solution? The do-not-do list. "I realized I was doing a lot of things on my to-do list that weren't actually that valuable. So I made a second list called my do-not-do list. And it's way longer than my to-do list." Examples from Dr. Zak's Do-Not-Do List: • Do not attend meetings without clear agendas and time boundaries • Do not respond to every email within 2 hours (batch processing instead) • Do not say yes to every speaking invitation (protect creative bandwidth) • Do not schedule back-to-back meetings all day (protect key moment opportunities) • Do not work weekends as default (protect relationship investment time) For Women Leaders: What activities drain energy without creating value? What obligations stem from people-pleasing rather than strategic necessity? Your do-not-do list creates the space for the 6+ daily key moments that neuroscience shows drive sustained thriving.

Lynne Charles, Artistic Director of English National Ballet School, discusses the school's new Graduate Artist Programme (GAP), a postgraduate program that combines performing with English National Ballet and continued education. Unlike traditional programs where students serve as "free labor," GAP dancers perform with the company while continuing ballet, repertoire, strength training, and audition prep. Lynne shares how ENBS prepares students for professional life, from teaching them to research companies and understand the difference between repertory and choreographer companies, to building sustainable careers through community over competition. She also discusses creating the 4 Pointe method, a holistic approach to pointe work that's reduced injuries by 48% at BYU, and her stance against early competition culture and starting pointe before age 12. Lynne offers refreshingly direct advice on honest teaching, helping dancers showcase their strengths in auditions, and finding companies where they'll thrive. Plus: the school's robust health and wellbeing protocols, the "no phones in the studio" policy, why repertoire class builds community better than variations class, and why being in the corps de ballet is a rite of passage, not a punishment.

In this episode, I'm joined by Dr Amy Comander, an expert I've been wanting to bring onto the podcast for a long time.Amy is a breast oncologist, lifestyle medicine physician, and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner based at Massachusetts General Hospital. She is, quite honestly, many people's dream oncologist — someone who truly understands that surviving cancer is about far more than getting through treatment.In this conversation, we start with menopause and ask an important question: what drove a breast oncologist to skill up so deeply in menopause and lifestyle medicine?We explore lifestyle medicine through a menopause-after-cancer lens, discussing what is genuinely supportive, what needs to be personalised, and how to talk about health without placing unrealistic pressure back onto patients.Amy also shares more about the PAVING the Path to Wellness for breast cancer survivors. This program is designed to support breast cancer survivors and those navigating menopause with practical, evidence-based tools.I promise you will walk away loving Amy just as much as I do! Listen and be inspired!Resources & links mentioned in this episode:PAVING a Woman's Path Through Menopause and Beyond

Today on Bridging the Gap we'll begin to uncover the secret of knowing God's will. Selfishness, or more appropriately, our stubborn refusal as humans to let God be the sovereign leader of our lives, is a hindrance to knowing God's will. Our text is Proverbs chapter sixteen.

Alexa Ray Joel, the daughter of legendary singer/songwriter Billy Joel and supermodel/actress Christie Brinkley, talks about her own experiences as a songwriter and performer who draws from a deep well of personal experiences. PART ONEPaul and Scott talk about...(gasp!) NEW music! PART TWOOur in-depth conversation with Alexa Ray JoelABOUT ALEXA RAY JOELSinger, songwriter, and pianist Alexa Ray Joel released her debut EP Sketches in 2006 and has since released a series of singles, including the most recent, “Heavy Eyes.” The daughter of legendary singer-songwriter Billy Joel and supermodel and actress Christie Brinkley, Alexa Ray began writing songs as a teenager. Her performances at Café Carlyle have showcased her eclectic repertoire, including original songs, Broadway numbers, and nods to her father and Ray Charles, for whom she was named. The New York Times praised her as a “singer confidently following her heart.” She has been a part of The Gap's “Back to Blue” television ad campaign, and has ventured into the fashion world, appearing on magazine covers and participating in fashion weeks. She sang alongside her father in the final year of his Madison Square Garden residency in 2024 and says her favorite Billy Joel song is “Lullaby (Goodnight, My Angel),” which he wrote for her. Alexa Ray's “Heavy Eyes” follows on the heels of “Riverside Way,” which illustrates the sonic diversity of her music and is leading up to the release of a 5 song EP later this year.
