In this episode, we're exploring Dr. Gabor Maté's fifth and final level of compassion: The compassion of possibility. We'll dig into how we can see beyond suffering and dysfunction to recognize the good within ourselves and others. This is a skill we can all practice and get better at. And importantly, this isn't some toxic positivity exercise. This is a skill that helps us see the whole picture, the full truth of whatever we're looking at. Seeing that full picture allows us to step into our wisdom and power so that we can make decisions that are more nourishing.

The poet Rumi shared this wisdom: "Grief can be the garden of compassion. If you keep your heart open through everything, Your pain can become your greatest ally in your life's search for love and wisdom." The poetry of Rumi makes that process sound like a smooth and blissful journey. Of course, the reality is that the work of being open amidst tough stuff, seeing our suffering, accepting our pain, and moving on can be messy and difficult. AND, no matter how many times we try and fall short, it's still healing work. We'll dig into this journey throughout the episode, how we can be open to and see the truth of our pain, and how to apply compassion and practical steps to move beyond what might be holding us back.  About: The Joy Lab Podcast blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, ease anxiety, and uplift mood.

Das Thema Menstruation war so verboten, dass sie ihre erste Periode überhaupt nicht erkannt hat. Sie weiß nicht , warum sie blutet, sondern fühlt nur Panik. Das ist die Geschichte eines 14-jährigen Mädchens aus London in den 1950ern. Ihr Schicksal schockiert den Geistlichen Chad Varah damals so sehr, dass er die erste Helpline der Welt gründet.

We're digging into the Dr. Gabor Maté's third level of compassion in this episode: The compassion of recognition. This level emphasizes realizing the shared nature of pain and loss, reminding us that we are not alone. We'll highlight the 'illusion of separation' and how breaking through it can deepen our connections and ease our struggles. We'll also share the 'Judge, Mirror, Bridge' exercise to help us practice compassion by identifying judgments, finding similarities within ourselves, and bridging connections with others.  About: The Joy Lab Podcast blends science and soul to help you cope better with stress, ease anxiety, and uplift mood.

Nearly 13,000 Vermonters aged 65 and older had Alzheimer's disease as of 2020 — 10% of the state's over-65 population. Around each of those people orbits nurses, doctors, home health aides and family members who devote their lives to care. The documentary "Walk With Me" by filmmaker and casting director Heidi Levitt tells the story of her husband Charlie Hess's early-onset Alzheimer's. The film screened earlier this year at the Middlebury International Film Festival, and it will screen again this Saturday at the Vermont International Film Festival in Burlington. Levitt and Hess split their time between Stowe and southern California.While Alzheimer's is a degenerative disease with no cure, there is a lot of positive news right now in terms of research, medications and health guidance that can slow cognitive loss, and supports for caregivers. We discussed these bright spots with Rhonda Williams, the public health program director for the Vermont Department of Health and the director of the Alzheimer's and Healthy Aging program, and Meg Polyte, policy director for the Vermont chapter of the Alzheimer's Association.The Alzheimer's Association 24/7 Helpline is a free service of support for people living with dementia, caregivers, families and the public.

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, Mayor Teresa Thomas-Smith shares a direct, practical lens on leadership: your inner voice sets the ceiling for your strategy, culture, and impact. We dig into stripping away the “best self” mask, why vulnerability is a leadership asset (not a weakness), and simple practices to rewrite self-talk so results shift—at work and at home. Expect grounded examples, a real story of reframing under pressure, and clear steps to build an authentic, values-led leadership presence. Search-friendly themes: leadership mindset, authentic leadership, inner narrative, self-talk, mental fitness for leaders, emotional resilience, boundaries, trauma-informed growth.   About the Guest  : Teresa Thomas-Smith is the first African American and first female Mayor of Palmetto, Georgia. A global speaker and transformational strategist, she champions “lead her ship”—leading from essence, not titles—through radical authenticity, compassion, and practical inner work.   Key Takeaways: Authenticity is whole-self leadership: stop performing a “best self” and lead as a full human so others feel safe to do the same. Self-talk is the foundation: strategy and skills are only as strong as the inner voice driving them. Name the ego, don't obey it: acknowledge the loud, critical voice and consciously choose the truer one. Give yourself grace: change happens “right now,” one choice at a time—especially when you feel stuck. Write your story: put the desired outcome on paper; clarity + intention reduce fear and organize action. Release what no longer serves: notice old vows, roles, or narratives and consciously let them go. Your energy leads the room: remembered essence creates lightness, connection, and trust in teams. Practical starter: when negative self-talk spikes, pause, name it, thank it for trying to protect you, and release it; then speak a truer sentence aloud.

Send us a textIn this episode, we're tackling a sensitive and  tough conversation that can save lives. We're joined by Dan Somers and Dr Susie Bennett from the men's mental health charity ManUp to talk about male suicide - particularly why men are disproportionately affected, how the empathy gap shows up, and what's really driving the crisis beneath the surface: lack of purpose, isolation and useful tools for emotional regulation.We unpack the gender differences that too often get ignored, how cultural scripts keep men emotionally armoured, and the practical steps that help men open up before they hit the cliff-edge. Content Warning: This episode discusses suicide and may be distressing to some listeners.

Those brain changes may cause us to notice that remembering information isn't as easy as it used to be and recalling names or numbers may not happen as quickly.

In this episode of the Joy Lab Podcast, we're not just defining compassion, but we're really getting into its relationship with mental health. We'll start by highlighting the important difference between pain and suffering and then get into how compassion, especially self-compassion, serves as a powerful antidote to ease stress responses. This episode also sets the stage for a 5-part series examining Dr. Gabor Maté's five levels of compassion, starting with ordinary human compassion. We'll dive into lots of practical examples (e.g., when you say something you wish you hadn't) and how to apply compassion.

Do you know that in Pennsylvania alone, there are more than 282,000 people living with Alzheimer's? And that there are over 465,000 caregivers who dedicate 822 million hours of unpaid care for them? And do you also know that there are lots of helpers who are dedicated to lifting those folks up and providing support? The Greater Pennsylvania Chapter of the Alzheimer's Association are those helpers. They not only offer support to anyone facing Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia, they advocate for their needs and rights, they advance critical research, and they work toward methods of treatment, prevention, and ultimately, a cure.Tressa sits down with the Association's Lynzy Groves and Raylene Gieg, two of the folks who have dedicated themselves to this mission. They are such generous souls who care so much for the people they help and the cause they support. Raylene is also currently a caregiver and you'll hear that part of her story as well. You're also going to hear a lot about hope and progress during this conversation, and you're going to learn ways that you can help, not only through volunteering or signing up for their Walk that's coming up soon, but by looking out for early signs of Alzheimer's and what steps to take if you think you or a loved one may have it. This is a really important and insightful conversation that we can't wait to share with you.

TDI's Fraud Unit has a team of investigators that look into reports of insurance fraud to build cases they can send county district attorneys for prosecution and potential punishment. What kind of training do insurance fraud investigators have? The investigators are licensed peace officers and most of them previously worked in other law enforcement roles. They learned to gather facts, interview people, and present information. Once they're at TDI, the investigators take continuing education classes and practice exercises and scenarios. Do the investigators offer insurance fraud training? Yes, the Fraud Unit has a Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) certification to teach others. They create 4 to 6-hour classes about spotting insurance fraud and collecting information to build cases. Who reports insurance fraud? Anyone can report insurance fraud online or by calling the Help Line at 800-252-3439. Consumers, insurance companies and health plans are common sources of fraud reports. How does a report turn into a fraud investigation and eventually a court case? The Fraud Unit looks at a report, sends it to a supervisor, and the supervisor will assign it to an investigator. The investigator looks at the information to decide what else they need to collect. They look through financial records and interview victims and suspects to collect evidence.  Once the investigator has collected enough information, they'll hand off the case to a supervisor and eventually to a district attorney in the county where the crime took place. What are the most common types of insurance fraud? So far in 2025, the Fraud Unit has received 22,000 reports of suspected insurance fraud. Of those, 55% are for auto insurance fraud, 20% for homeowners insurance fraud, and 6% for health insurance fraud.Learn about reporting fraud Insurance fraud could happen to you Insurance fraud guide

Join us (Dr. Henry Emmons and Dr. Aimee Prasek) as we dig into the concept of GOMO, the Guarantee of Missing Out, as a more empowering alternative to FOMO (Fear of Missing Out) and FOBO (Fear of Being Over). We'll talk about how making choices inherently involves letting go of other possibilities, which, though initially daunting, can lead to a sense of freedom and relief. We'll lean on insights from Oliver Burkeman's 'Four Thousand Weeks' and Barry Schwartz's 'Paradox of Choice,' as we explore some practical strategies to navigate the overwhelming array of choices in modern life and the art of letting go to make space for what you're most connected to.    If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!   Sources and Notes: Joy Lab Program: Take the next leap in your wellbeing journey with step-by-step practices to help you build and maintain the elements of joy in your life.

Half of Aussie kids say they’ve been bullied in the past year — and for some, it’s relentless. If your child is caught in the middle of it, you can feel powerless, worried, and desperate for answers. In this powerful conversation, Professor Donna Cross shares a simple but life-changing 4-step approach to help your child feel heard, supported, and in control — plus what to try when you’ve “done it all” and nothing changes. You’ll learn: The hidden signs your child is struggling (and what not to miss) Why face-to-face bullying is still more common than cyberbullying The LATE model — a simple framework to guide every conversation Why walking or sitting side-by-side helps kids open up How to help when the bullying won’t stop — even after trying everything When changing schools is worth considering (and how to make it work) QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "Don’t take the wheel — take the ride.

Join us (Dr. Henry Emmons and Dr. Aimee Prasek) as we talk about "joyless urgency," a brilliant phrase coined by Marilynne Robinson. The short story is that our modern kind of hustle culture and constant busyness often leads to little personal fulfillment. So what's causing all this urgency? We've highlighted some important reasons in some recent episodes (see links below). Today, we'll introduce another one: too much social media. We'll focus on something called "problematic engagement" and how excessive use on social media can fuel a cycle of anxiety and temporary relief followed by more anxiety and temporary relief and then more anxiety... you get the picture. Awareness is the first step to get out of this cycle and we'll hit on that a bit in this episode. And be sure to tune in for the next several episodes as we'll cover some practical steps you can take to get out of joyless urgency and back into joy.   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!   Sources and Notes: Joy Lab Program: Take the next leap in your wellbeing journey with step-by-step practices to help you build and maintain the elements of joy in your life.

By Adam Turteltaub It's time to think bigger when it comes to helpline data.  Yes, it's still important to look at traditional metrics such as the number of calls and the substantiation rate.  But, there is so much more that can be done. Justin Ross, Vice President, Chief Compliance Officer at Sysco and Carrie Penman, Chief Risk and Compliance Officer at NAVEX will be addressing what you can do with your helpline data during their 2025 SCCE Compliance & Ethics Institute session “Numbers That Matter:  Moving Beyond Hotline Data to Identify and Build an Ethical Workplace.” For one, they encourage compliance officers to think about whom they are sharing the data with.  What the board, management and others will want to see is likely to be different. As a result, it's important to tailor your reporting accordingly. Second, they argue in this podcast that it's important to not just look at the data reactively.  Instead, think proactively and use it as a way to identify where there are issues to be addressed, either now or potentially in the future. The data can also provide a window into the culture of the organization as a whole, as well as the differences by region or even office.  This approach can help you better understand your risks and where you need to address potential problems. Some of the data they suggest using is: Outcomes of allegations: are they leading to discipline and is it consistent Retaliation issues Substantiation rates Patterns of employee vs. non-employee reports Number of days between allegation and conclusion of investigation Number of days between incident and helpline call Be sure, too, to look at the helpline data in concert with other data your organization has such as employee turnover, exit interviews, culture surveys, audit results and more. In sum, to get the most out of your helpline data, think about all the data that you have, what it can tell about the past and present, how it can guide the future and what's the best way to share it with each of your audiences. Listen in to learn more, and plan on joining them for the 2025 SCCE Compliance & Ethics Institute.

The renowned play researcher, Dr. Brian Sutton-Smith, said that the "The opposite of play is not work, the opposite of play is depression." There's a lot of truth to that. In this episode, we (Dr. Henry Emmons and Dr. Aimee Prasek) explore how play and having fun is woven into our human nature and why it's so essential for our mental health. We'll even touch on some surprising facts about how old rats can grow more brain cells than younger rats (it applies to humans too!) and why even retirees, who might experience every day as a holiday, report increased happiness on federal holidays. We hope you come away from this episode with more motivation to rest and play.  If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!
