In this Happy Hour Chat, I talk with Tina Cascio, Mira Hudson and Kelly McGinn, all young women who share their journey living with ALS after being diagnosed in their 20's and 30's.  John Driskell Hopkins of Zac Brown Band who is also battling ALS joins the conversation too. We discuss finding community, maintaining independence, and embracing joy despite a terminal diagnosis.  Tina has familial ALS with the SOD1 mutation and has been living with it for nearly five years.  Kelly was diagnosed two years ago and is balancing motherhood and ALS.  Mira had symptoms since age 14 but was misdiagnosed for years before her ALS diagnosis at 24.  John (Hop) continues performing with Zac Brown Band and will play at the Sphere in Las Vegas in December.  The ladies share their fun experience attending a retreat in Cape Cod with 40 other Her ALS Story members.  I love how they each emphasize the importance of community over isolation when battling this terminal illness.  Follow Her ALS Story and witness the incredible strength of this group.  Join John Driskell Hopkins for Harmony for Hope on October 18th in Atlanta, a fundraising gala for ALS research featuring world-class singer-songwriters in an intimate format.  Thanks for listening and sharing with a friend.  Hugs, LorriFollow and see what's coming next: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn.

Send us a text Step into the time machine with One Drink Podcast as we rewind to 2006—the year when Myspace ruled, flip phones were cool, and every song on the radio was a certified banger. From hip-hop anthems to pop powerhouses and rock tracks that still slap today, we're reliving the best hits that defined the mid-2000s. Grab a drink, crank up the volume, and get ready for a nostalgic ride back to the soundtrack of 2006. One Drink PodcastOne topic for One Drink.

Send us a textWhat's the difference between loving deeply and clinging desperately? Epictetus thought the line was thinner than we like to admit. In Enchiridion Chapter 3, he reminds us that every embrace is an embrace of a mortal, every favorite cup is already broken, and every attachment comes with an expiration date stamped by nature. Sounds grim? Not really. It's actually a roadmap for how not to be crushed when life does what life always does: end, change, and surprise.In this episode, we talk Bigger vs. Badder—how Stoicism flips the script on what “strong” really means. We look at Anaxagoras' deadpan reaction to his son's death, Seneca's hauntingly calm reminders, and even a 1958 love letter from John Steinbeck that could pass for Stoic counsel. Along the way, we wrestle with what it means to love in a way that frees us rather than chains us, and why negative visualization might be the most underrated gratitude practice out there.Of course, it's not all heavy philosophy. Bruce tries out some Gen Alpha slang on Justin, and we test our own fragile-cup theory on the kinds of attachments we carry every day. If you've ever wondered how to hold on without holding too tightor how to lose without falling apart this one's for you.

Episode Notes In this episode of Workplace Hugs, Shannon and Rami explore the profound idea that "being an adult is choosing a life of regret" - you can't have it all, so you have to decide which regrets you can live with. They share personal examples of tough choices they're facing, from coaching decisions to living arrangements, and discuss how aligning decisions with your values makes regrets easier to carry.

On this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik explores the practice of “healing through hugs” with author and coach Melinda Lee, whose memoir Rebel Hugger documents a year of offering consensual hugs to strangers—and the deeper truth she uncovered: the connection she gave others was the connection she hadn't given herself. We discuss intention vs. habit, consent and boundaries, people-pleasing and depletion, and a simple self-hug practice to regulate the nervous system. Clear, grounded, and practical—this conversation reframes touch as an act of presence, not performance. About the Guest:   Melinda Lee is the author of Rebel Hugger, a coach, and a certified Healing Touch for Animals practitioner. Her work centers on connection, consent, and embodied compassion.   Key Takeaways: Consent first: Melinda always asked, “Can I give you a hug?”—a model for safe, respectful connection. Intention matters more than the act: a present, welcomed hug can be regulating; a habitual hug can be empty. People-pleasing depletes: giving from an “empty cup” invites burnout and dis-ease; self-nourishment is non-negotiable. Boundaries are loving: a hug can invite closeness and still honor where you end and the other begins. Rejection isn't rupture: when someone says “no,” stay in relationship—eye contact, respect, and warmth still connect. The mirror effect: outward generosity can expose inner neglect; notice what you're seeking from others and practice giving it to yourself. Micro-practice: hand on heart, a few slow breaths, feel energy “flow” around the body—20–30 seconds to reset. Safety lens: enter interactions believing most people are kind while staying grounded, aware, and boundaried.

“This is a very nice day, yeah. Hugs and kisses all the way to Wisconsin” Not to bury the lead: synthy, new wavey, indie rock favorites, the Pulsars are back and moving forward. Full disclosure: I love this band and have waited decades to hear what band leader Dave Trumfio had to say on this podcast episode. The Pulsars will be releasing more music. They’ll be touring. They’re continuing all the good things they started in the 20th century. Dave is a music genius, whether he’s in front of the Pulsars or behind the console producing other artists like Wilco, Dogstar, My Morning Jacket, and OK GO. I was elated to catch back up with him after a very long time, and can’t wait so see what he has in store for the Pulsars.

We discuss the event that got the public talking about legacy, religion, political parties, and the soul of America. Then, we discuss the politicization of the National Guard and the wildness that are the HELP WANTED ads for I.C.E., and who at REWIND is considering a position for reasons that might shock you. Then we, swing into our entertainment pop culture bag by discussing the wildest moments of the Emmy's and the dull fashion that was on display this year.

Press play, lean in, and get ready to REWIND.

Episode Notes In this episode of Workplace Hugs, Shannon and Rami explore Michelle Obama's wisdom from "The Light We Carry" about navigating fear, discomfort, and uncertainty in both work and life. They share personal stories about learning to carry fear rather than overcome it, finding growth in uncomfortable moments, and actively cultivating what Michelle calls "gladness" even during challenging times.

Send us a textHilary Momberger Powers wants to send a message to this audience.  Recovered bulimic, but more so not leading with your wounds as a motivational speaker, life coach, and author.Hilary's mother was an anorexic, alcoholic, and drop-dead good-looking, and a Jackie Gleason girl.Now, with that being said, the daughter of the "Jackie Gleason Show" had to deal with this "having to give up her career for her children".And that her mother told her that she would never be as beautiful as her?  How could you not feel not good enough?  As the voice of Sally on Peanuts, she's living her trauma with the reptilian brain and has become a people pleaser.  From that, she became the bad girl.What a compelling story!  Some people think it is a good thing that parents want to get their children into show business with their connections.  Hilary says she loves her Mom, even after living in a foster home.  Listen to her words...Beautiful and open woman with her story and I am honoured to have had her on my Podcast because I could relate in so many ways about the people pleasing, the lies and the power and the people pleasing.  I didn't run away from home; my parents were not my reason. However, many stories on my Podcast, that's where it goes.  My issue was society, and back then our social media was not Instagram, or FB or... it was magazines... Cutouts on the fridge to be the Twiggy that her mother grew up with, that she has to reset what her mother couldn't.Bulimiaisms.  Love that word.  That is something recovered bulimics need to be aware of.  What activates?  Old coping mechanism.  Hilary, your story speaks volumes!  I loved relating to someone who knew at least some of what I went through, and you sharing your story!!  I feel you, and thank you.  I was honoured to have you on my Podcast.And finally, I love that you spoke about your senses. Very interesting.Hugs to you.  I aligned with you, and I hope my listeners do too.Find Hilary at www.hilarypowers.com, and she is on IG and LinkedInAnd check out her new book Peanuts to Percoset.  We have all had dark times.  I know for me as for Hilary, asking for help was the best solution.If you are in a spot where you are feeling well, remember you can become the best version of yourself.Support the show

Episode Notes In this episode of Workplace Hugs, Shannon and Rami explore the concept of Pyrrhic victories—those wins that feel more like losses because of what you sacrificed to achieve them.

Research shows that simple practices such as self-hugs, soothing touch, and hand-to-heart can calm the nervous system, supporting caregivers and the children in their care.Summary: From parents to teachers, caregiving can be overwhelming and exhausting. This episode of The Science of Happiness dives into simple touch-based strategies that promote calm, reduce stress, and foster stronger connections. Researchers share how even brief moments of self-soothing or supportive touch can improve mental and physical health for caregivers and children. How To Do This Practice:  Sit or stand comfortably and take a moment to notice your body. Soften your jaw and shoulders. If it feels safe, close your eyes or lower your gaze. Place one hand on your belly, both hands over your heart, or give yourself a self-hug— whatever feels most comfortable and natural. Let the weight of your hands feel steady and supportive. Take a slow inhale through your nose and a longer exhale through your mouth. Silently repeat a kind phrase to yourself, like “How can I be a friend to myself today?” and “It's okay to make mistakes.” Feel the warmth and weight of your hands. On each exhale, invite a little ease into your face, shoulders, belly, and back. Notice any tiny shift toward calm. Wrap your arms around your torso and apply comfortable pressure, finishing with a gentle self-hug before returning to your day.  Scroll down for a transcription of this episode.Today's Guests:THERESA ALEXANDER is a pre-K teacher based in Arlington, Virginia, with nearly 20 years of teaching experience.

This episode follows the powerful and unexpectedly uplifting story of Jake Popyura, a musician and multi-instrumentalist in the indie rock band Supermilk, who was diagnosed with ALS at just 38. Rather than despair, Jake felt relief—finally understanding the cause behind years of unexplained symptoms. As his physical abilities shift, Jake and his bandmates have chosen adaptation over retreat, pouring their energy into their recent album Lazy Teenage Boasts. Balancing terminal illness, mental health challenges, and a relentless creative drive, Jake leans into dark humor and online community to navigate the journey. His story is a testament to resilience, reinvention, and finding meaning through music in the face of life's harshest realities.  Thanks for listening.  Hugs, LorriFollow and see what's coming next: Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, TikTok, LinkedIn.
