Podcast Notes   Episode 478 Brushstrokes & Breakthroughs with Mark Ross Hosts: Brian Miller, PCC Guest: Mark Ross Date: August 14th, 2025 In this episode, Brian Miller talks with Mark Ross — a coach, artist, and founder of Next Thing Group — about the parallels between painting and coaching, the value of curiosity, and the journey of navigating career transitions. Mark shares how art serves as a creative escape and a process of discovery, while coaching provides a similar space for exploration and growth. He recounts how burnout in his former career led him to seek coaching, eventually becoming a coach himself, and emphasizes the power of intentional relationships and openness to new opportunities. Key Highlights: Mark's art process mirrors coaching — both involve starting without knowing the exact outcome and staying curious throughout. Painting serves as a form of mental reset, drawing Mark into a world of focus, experimentation, and discovery. Mark's transition into coaching began during a period of burnout, sparked by guidance from influential mentors like Dan Miller. The International Coaching Federation's (ICF) competencies gave Mark a clear framework to assess and grow his coaching skills. Relationships and intentional conversations have been the driving force behind Mark's personal and professional growth. Takeaways: Creativity and coaching both thrive in environments of openness, exploration, and adaptability. Burnout can serve as a catalyst for reinvention when paired with intentional action and mentorship. Structured professional standards, like those from ICF, can provide valuable benchmarks for skill development. Building genuine relationships through curiosity-driven conversations can open unexpected doors and opportunities.

In this episode, Mardi Winder-Adams sits down with Kim Schreffler for a compassionate and practical conversation about the journey through divorce and the often-overlooked process of reclaiming one's identity afterward. Kim draws on her many years supporting others through major transitions, not only as a phone psychic but as a steady presence for those facing some of life's biggest hurdles. She discusses how divorce is not just a legal or logistical challenge, but truly the end of a chapter, what she calls “the death of a relationship and the life you thought you'd have.”Together, Mardi and Kim explore why it's essential to acknowledge and allow room for grief, rather than simply powering through. They touch on the all-too-common struggle of shouldering every responsibility alone, especially for women who may feel pressured to keep the household running smoothly, even as things fall apart. Kim gently encourages listeners to relinquish the idea of being “Superwoman” and instead accept help in both big and small ways, whether someone cooking a meal, folding laundry, or providing emotional support.Finances are a critical element of moving forward, and Kim shares her own story of financial surprises during her divorce. She stresses the need to organize assets and debts, establish a basic budget, and approach things step by step, always keeping the tasks manageable and allowing for breathing room.The conversation turns to regaining a sense of self after divorce. Kim recommends small daily acts of kindness, like enjoying a favorite meal on fine china or turning an everyday shower into a small relaxation ritual. Mardi and Kim discuss the value of creating new routines and traditions, particularly if children are involved, and the importance of allowing joy back into life through simple pleasures. They also offer a word of caution about oversharing online, emphasizing privacy and self-protection during this vulnerable time.Kim closes the conversation with the reminder that, while the light at the end of the tunnel can feel distant, it's not an illusion and, with time, the future may hold more than you imagined. Both Mardi and Kim provide reassurance and practical tips for anyone moving through divorce, highlighting the small steps and supportive communities that make recovery and renewal possible.About the Guest:Kim Schreffler is a passionate advocate for embracing life's transitions, having experienced firsthand the loss that comes with the end of a relationship and the dreams it represented. She understands that such endings carry real grief and trauma, and acknowledges the pain—recognizing that it "really does suck." Yet, Kim believes in honoring the grieving process and encourages others to not only breathe through the loss, but also to remain open to new beginnings. Through her journey, Kim inspires others to find hope and possibility on the other side of pain, reminding us that when we accept the end of one chapter, we create space for something potentially even better.To connect with Kim:Website: https://www.getwithkim.comAbout the Host: Mardi Winder-Adams is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

Silvia Resnik's story is one of quiet longing, deep transformation and radical realignment. As an alone-born twin, she carried a sense of missingness all her life — even while following the “right” path: becoming a kindergarten teacher, earning a Master's in Business Economics, working in HR and building her own consulting business. On the outside, she had it all. On the inside, she felt empty.A spontaneous vacation to Zanzibar became the unexpected turning point. There, Silvia met the Maasai, a semi-nomadic tribe in East Africa known for their deep presence, connection to nature and spiritual strength. Something shifted. She felt seen, alive and whole — perhaps for the first time.She didn't just return home inspired — she changed her life completely. Silvia chose to live between two worlds and has since spent over 1.5 years in Tanzania, mostly on Zanzibar, living among the Maasai and integrating their wisdom into her way of being.Today, Silvia is an ICF-certified coach who guides high-achieving women out of the golden cage of perfection and back into a life of truth, freedom and purpose. She blends modern coaching with the grounded, ancestral wisdom of the Maasai. Silvia also partners directly with Maasai leaders in the movement to end Female Genital Mutilation (FGM), advocating for sustainable change from within. Sylvia splits her time between Austria and Tanzania, and joined us from Tanzania. Since I was in Sri Lanka when I recorded this episode and Silvia was in Tanzania, we had a few recording hiccups, but Silvia's inspiring story shines through!Learn more:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/coachsilviaresnik/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/silvia.simple.life.journey/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@coachsilviaresnikLinktree: https://linktr.ee/resnik.silviaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/feed/Websites: https://silviaresnik.comhttps://www.simple-life-journey.com/en

ICF has its international awards program for which it is famous.  But that does it take to become one of America's ”Most Dynamic Metro Areas?” and where are they located? Heartland Forward's Chief Reseach Officer discusses the results of the ”think and do tank's” long-awaited report and drops facts behind the reason that, despite the fact it has 39% of the national population, this vast American expanse of talent, resources and states, from North Dakota to Texas, only attracted 10% of investment - until recently.  But things are changing, as Lou learns in part 2 of his conversation with Dave Shideler. David Shideler serves as the chief research officer for Heartland Forward's research team which includes visiting senior fellows Richard Florida and Maryann Feldman. With a mission to help improve the economic performance in the heartland and change the narrative of the middle of the country, the original research efforts focus on four key pillars: innovation and entrepreneurship, human capital, health and wellness and regional competitiveness. Shideler joined Heartland Forward after more than a decade at Oklahoma State University, serving as a professor and Community and Economic Development Specialist in the Department of Agricultural Economics. In these roles, he oversaw projects in community and rural development and small business development, and published peer-reviewed research articles on the economic impacts of internet access, incentive programs, and local food production. Shideler holds a Ph.D. in Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics and an M.A. in Economics from the Ohio State University, an M.S. in Agricultural Economics from the Pennsylvania State University, and a B.S. in Community and Rural Development from Clemson University.

Hey team! Today I'm talking with Katie Friedman and Alex Campbell, the brains and heart behind Gold Mind Academy, an ICF-accredited, ADHD-friendly training program, crafted to support ADHDers on their journey to success. And their new book, “ADHD… Now What?”, aims to give you the tools you need to find a coach that is right for you and how to advocate for your needs. And honestly, I love this approach to the book because while there are a lot of ADHD coaches out there, it's important to find someone who is going to work best with you. So who are these people? Katie is a long time educator turned ICF-accredited ADHD coach and also a TEDx speaker. Alex is also an ICF-accredited ADHD coach, but also a psychotherapist and one of the first children in the UK to be diagnosed with ADHD back in 1990. In our conversation today, we explore what coaching really looks like beyond surface-level goal setting. Alex and Katie break down how understanding your strengths can lead to better self-advocacy and less burnout. We also talk about survival mode, how internalized ableism and societal “shoulds” trip us up, and why connection, with ourselves and with others, is essential for building sustainable strategies. I had a great time with this conversation and it gave me a lot to think about, so I hope you enjoy it as much as I did.

Work on shifting from a deficit lens to a strengths lens. We want to understand not just what we're good at but what we need in place to express those strengths effectively. 2. It's important that we integrate identity first and strategy second. For real change to happen, we need to understand and accept who we are before trying to layer on productivity tools. 3. ADHD isn't easy to manage in isolation. With teamwork and support systems, we can drastically reduce burnout and overwhelm, so it's incredibly important that we work on building connection and community.

In this episode of No Brainer, hosts Geoff Livingston and Greg Verdino discussed the evolving role of artificial intelligence (AI) in business with Mike Whitaker (Whit for short), Senior Vice President of Strategy Execution and Organizational Innovation at ICF Consulting. Whit shares his insights on fostering a culture of AI adoption and offers practical advice on navigating the challenges of integrating AI into business operations. The three discuss various aspects of AI adoption in the enterprise, including the need for both leaders and employees to engage with AI technologies to stay relevant. Whit details some of the challenges leaders face including new technology bias and the incumbent need for leaders to demonstrate AI use in their own work. Then Whit emphasized the importance of a hands-on, continuous learning approach to AI, rather than relying solely on obsolete corporate training programs. They also explore the potential risks and real-world constraints of AI implementation, such as data integrity and resistance to change.   Chapters 00:00 Intro 03:16 Whit's Substack on AI for Working Parents 08:23 Leadership and AI Adaptation 13:57 Middle Management's Role in AI Integration 18:57 Corporate Training and AI 22:07 Practical AI Applications for Executives 28:24 Overcoming Cognitive Resistance 32:15 Healthy Skepticism and AI 37:59 Balancing AI Adoption and Investment 44:55 Leadership's Role in AI Integration   About Mike “Whit” Whitaker  Whit helps organizations and individuals realize their full potential by designing strategies, teams, and operating models that drive value and positive change.

In this episode, Mardi Winder-Adams sits down with relationship coach Ry Duong for a heartfelt conversation about love, loss, and navigating the world of relationships after divorce or heartbreak. Ry shares her deeply personal story of having grown up in a refugee camp after her family fled the Cambodian genocide, reflecting on how those early experiences shaped her perspective on resilience and hope. She also talks openly about losing her sister, a turning point that inspired Ry to turn her pain into purpose by helping others through her work as the founder of Eternal Love.Throughout the discussion, Ry and Mardi explore what it means to break old, toxic patterns and truly discover who you are after a long-term relationship ends. Ry draws from her own 17-year marriage and shares how, after losing her sense of identity in that partnership, she had to relearn how to put herself first, which is something she encourages her coaching clients to do as well. They talk about how loving yourself, accepting your imperfections, and setting healthy boundaries are the keys to finding happiness and attracting truly compatible partners.The episode also covers what unconditional love actually looks like, especially when it comes to balancing compassion for a partner with sticking to your own values and non-negotiables. Ry's advice is down-to-earth and practical, suggesting that anyone coming out of a divorce should take time to reflect before dating seriously again, to heal wounds and get honest about what you really want from a partner. She reminds listeners that it's okay to take your time, not to rush into something new, and to be aware of patterns that might lead you back into an unhealthy relationship.Above all, this conversation feels warm, genuine, and encouraging, full of helpful insights for anyone wondering how to move forward after heartbreak, rebuild their confidence, and invite more real connection into their lives. Ry's optimism and sincerity are evident throughout, and she leaves you with a gentle reminder that you already have what you need to be happy and fulfilled, even before someone else comes along.About the Guest:Ry Duong is the Founder of EternaLove and Author of Choose You, Choose Happiness. A passionate Relationship Coach with a background in Social Work, Ry has helped countless individuals and couples break free from toxic patterns and create lasting, meaningful love.

Her book reflects her core belief: "When you choose yourself, you teach the world how to love you."

The ICF Code of Ethics just got updated, and every coach needs to know what's changed. Lumia CEO Noelle Cordeaux sits down with beloved Lumia instructor and former CIA executive Bonnie Stith to break down the new ICF Code of Ethics updates that every practicing and aspiring coach should understand. (Spoiler alert: The changes are mostly reorganizational, but they're important for understanding coaching's evolution as a mature profession.) We dive deep into what these updates really mean... from the new section headings that make ethics more accessible, to how technology and AI are changing our responsibilities around client confidentiality. Bonnie shares her wisdom on the "mortal sins" of coaching... the ethical missteps that coaches must avoid, like setting the client's agenda, giving advice, or making the session about the coach's wisdom instead of the client's. Whether you're preparing for your ICF credential exam or simply want to understand how to practice coaching with the highest ethical standards, this episode provides the clarity and confidence you need. Ethics is about bumpers on the bowling lanes that help you coach with confidence and protect both you and your clients.

ICF has its international awards program for which it is famous.  But that does it take to become one of America's ”Most Dynamic Metro Areas?” and where are they located? Heartland Forward's Chief Reseach Officer discusses the results of the ”think and do tank's” long-awaited report and drops facts behind the reason that, despite the fact it has 39% of the national population, this vast American expanse of talent, resources and states, from North Dakota to Texas, only attracted 10% of investment - until recently.  But things are changing, as Lou learns. David Shideler serves as the chief research officer for Heartland Forward's research team which includes visiting senior fellows Richard Florida and Maryann Feldman. With a mission to help improve the economic performance in the heartland and change the narrative of the middle of the country, the original research efforts focus on four key pillars: innovation and entrepreneurship, human capital, health and wellness and regional competitiveness. Shideler joined Heartland Forward after more than a decade at Oklahoma State University, serving as a professor and Community and Economic Development Specialist in the Department of Agricultural Economics. In these roles, he oversaw projects in community and rural development and small business development, and published peer-reviewed research articles on the economic impacts of internet access, incentive programs, and local food production. Shideler holds a Ph.D. in Agricultural, Environmental and Development Economics and an M.A. in Economics from the Ohio State University, an M.S. in Agricultural Economics from the Pennsylvania State University, and a B.S. in Community and Rural Development from Clemson University.

Send us a textWhat happens when systemic barriers persist in an industry built on personal growth and transformation? Dr. Pamela Larde pulls back the curtain on coaching's diversity challenges and shares a groundbreaking approach to creating change.The coaching profession prides itself on fostering human potential, yet faces the same diversity and inclusion hurdles as many industries. Dr. Larde, creator of the first ICF-accredited Black-owned coach training school and director at the Institute of Coaching, shares findings from the pioneering Horizons program that's reimagining coach education through an equity lens.One powerful revelation centers on "racialized emotional labor" – the invisible psychological burden carried by people of color navigating predominantly white spaces. This concept, rooted in research on how racial stress creates physical health challenges, illuminates why traditional coaching programs may unintentionally tax diverse participants. The most surprising discovery? Students wanted more diversity content integrated throughout their training, not less.Despite growing backlash against DEI initiatives in the United States, Dr. Larde observes coaching organizations largely maintaining their commitment to inclusion, though with strategic adaptations. For prospective coach trainees seeking inclusive environments, she recommends examining a school's stated values, faculty diversity, and student testimonials about psychological safety. "Schools for which this is a value say it out loud – you don't have to dig very hard to find it."The conversation explores innovative approaches like reverse mentoring, where newer coaches share fresh perspectives with seasoned practitioners. Dr. Larde, who researches both joy and justice, embodies how these seemingly opposite focuses intersect in powerful ways.Whether you're a coach trainer, practicing coach, or considering coach certification, this episode offers crucial insights on creating truly inclusive coaching spaces.

In this episode of ADHD Support Talk Radio, co-host Lynne Edris is joined by cognitive engineer and ADHD coach Jeff Copper for a fascinating conversation that may completely change the way you think about ADHD and executive function. Jeff introduces a groundbreaking model he calls Cognitive Ergonomics From the Inside Out™, which reframes ADHD as a problem-solving impairment rather than a motivational or behavioral failure.   Together, they discuss: Why so many ADHD productivity strategies fall short How executive function challenges stem from ambiguity, not laziness The role of collaboration and communication as natural, effective accommodations How to externalize thinking and reduce overwhelm in ways that actually work What it means to "think like an engineer" when managing ADHD Whether you're struggling with procrastination, motivation, or follow-through, this conversation offers refreshing clarity—and practical solutions that may surprise you.

This episode of The D Shift highlights the importance of knowing your options, particularly when going through a gray divorce. Mardi Winder-Adams is joined by Laura Phillips, a respected and seasoned reverse mortgage specialist. Together, they explore the realities and misconceptions surrounding reverse mortgages. Laura brings more than three decades of experience in mortgage lending, and her passion for helping older adults navigate this little-understood financial option is evident throughout the conversation.Laura traces the origins of reverse mortgages to the Reagan era, clarifying that these products are government-regulated loans intended for homeowners aged 62 and older. She dismantles some of the most stubborn myths, like the fear that the government will take away your home or that a you can be left unprotected. Instead, Laura explains, homeowners retain full title, and the loan simply functions as a means to convert home equity into usable cash, either through lump sums, monthly payments, or lines of credit, all without the obligation of a monthly mortgage payment.They share a practical comparison between reverse mortgages and traditional HELOCs, highlighting how reverse mortgages can be especially useful for those with limited income in retirement, offering flexibility without demanding repayment until the homeowner sells or moves out of the property. Laura also notes recent legislative changes that further protect borrowers, ensuring better safety if both spouses reside in the home.The discussion extends to considerations for anyone looking to age in place, including the ability to use reverse mortgage funds to modify homes for accessibility or to pay for in-home care. Laura urges listeners to approach these decisions thoughtfully, consult professionals, and always disclose their circumstances honestly, especially when dealing with properties that have rental units or additional occupants.This episode is a great resource for individuals contemplating their financial future after divorce, widowhood, or simply as part of their retirement planning. Laura's expertise makes the sometimes-intimidating topic of reverse mortgages feel much more manageable and relevant for anyone seeking clear information on the subject.About the Guest:Laura Phillips is a Licensed Reverse Mortgage Specialist with a mission to guide people through the entire HECM/Reverse loan process, so they feel confident about the options available for their next 30-year financial strategy. From helping real estate professionals, customers, and financial advisers navigate home financing, she helps customers find mortgage solutions that work for them. 25+ years of experience in real estate lending have taught Laura that it is not just a person's house; it's their home, and it's one of the most significant financial commitments a person will make in their life.

In this Episode: In this episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt welcome back Barb Stone, an entrepreneur, leadership development coach, trainer, speaker, and now an author and TEDx speaker. They discuss Barb's journey since her last appearance on the podcast four years ago, highlighting her significant professional growth. Barb shares her background, starting with 25 years as a senior female leader in manufacturing after earning her MBA. Despite her success, she felt a desire for "more" than just climbing the corporate ladder. This led her to a journey of self-discovery, studying resiliency and positive psychology, getting involved with John Maxwell, and eventually becoming a leadership coach. She emphasizes that her motivation to become a coach stemmed from her own challenging journey as a first-generation American of Polish descent, wishing she had a guide earlier in her life. The conversation then shifts to Barb's new book, "So Much to Drool About: Lessons for Living Large," which combines her coaching wisdom with her passion for Great Danes. She explains how the idea for the book was planted by a client in 2020 and how it evolved into a collection of inspirational stories, each accompanied by an illustration and a wisdom statement. Barb stresses the importance of following one's passion, even if the profitability isn't immediately clear, noting that the book is an investment in herself and a way to share her message. She believes that when you commit to your passion, opportunities will arise, such as speaking engagements and partnerships.  Barb also discusses her target audience for the book, stating it's for anyone from four to 104 years old who seeks inspiration or loves animals. She shares her experience visiting an elementary school to discuss social-emotional learning using her book, demonstrating its broad appeal. She emphasizes that the book's creation process itself, with its many iterations and challenges, mirrors the life lessons it teaches about growth and perseverance. A key takeaway from the discussion is Barb's belief in "leading ourselves first," and how life can "happen through us" when we share our wisdom and experiences to help others.

Her journey is marked by resilience and a passion for helping others.  After a distinguished 25-year career in senior leadership roles within manufacturing, including Executive Vice President and CFO, Barb realized she was living someone else's definition of success. This led her to an intensive study of resilience and positive psychology, understanding that true opportunities are created, not accidental.  In 2018, Barb launched Build Your Path LLC. As a leadership development coach, she now passionately guides individuals, teams, and boards to discover their authentic selves and build a life that truly reflects who they are, challenging the notion that "looking good and getting it right" should lead to performance anxiety. Her personal journey, including overcoming challenges like alopecia and the unexpected loss of her first husband, Bob, has further deepened her commitment to resilience and personal growth.  Complementing her coaching and speaking, Barb is the author of her first book, "So Much to Drool About: Lessons for Living Large," published in April of 2025. Through heartwarming stories inspired by her beloved Great Danes, she shares gentle wisdom on living in the present, embracing life's adventures, and finding joy and gratitude.  Barb's extensive commitment extends into her community. She is a founding member of the CNY Women's Fund and actively contributes to various non-profit organizations, including the NY State Mentoring program and the WISE Women's Business Center. She is a certified ICF coach (CPCC, PCC) and a certified Organization and Relationship Systems coach (ORSCC), and her impactful message has earned her a spot as a TEDx speaker.   Through her multifaceted work, Barbara Stone continues to empower others to forge their unique and fulfilling paths.   Learn more: www.barbstone.me  ARN Suggested Reading: Blessings In the Bullshit: A Guided Journal for Finding the BEST In Every Day – by Mark Cardone & Theron Feidt https://www.amazon.com/Blessings-Bullshit-Guided-Journal-Finding/dp/B09FP35ZXX/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=blessings+in+the+bullshit&qid=1632233840&sr=8-1 Full List of Recommended Books: https://www.achieveresultsnow.com/readers-are-leaders  Questions: 1.   Do you have a question you want answered in a future podcast? 2.   Go to www.AchieveResultsNow.com to submit.

In this episode, Mardi Winder-Adams has an uplifting conversation with Stephanie McPhail, who is not only a certified crisis counselor but also someone who has been through the highs and lows of divorce. Stephanie shares how, despite looking like she had it all together as an accomplished teacher and professional, she was struggling behind closed doors in a difficult and even abusive marriage. Her story will resonate with anyone who's ever felt isolated, embarrassed, or stuck in the idea that they must keep up appearances while holding things together.Stephanie talks about how easy it is to get trapped in comparison, whether it's looking at others in equally unhealthy relationships or scrolling through social media and seeing everyone's happy posts while you're feeling lost or overwhelmed. She discusses the pressure, especially on high-achievers, to pretend everything is fine, even when it's not, simply because opening up can feel risky or shameful. Mardi adds from her experience as a divorce coach and advocate, reinforcing how common these feelings are, and they both agree that the secrecy and pressure to handle everything alone can make things so much harder than they need to be.They also break down some of the traps people fall into during and after divorce, like waiting until things are legally finalized before reaching out for support, or expecting your lawyer to guide you through emotional healing, when you may need someone who understands the whole picture. Stephanie introduces the Divorce Support Network, a practical resource she co-founded that matches people with specifically vetted professionals, from financial advisors and therapists to real estate agents and mechanics. The goal is to make sure nobody has to fumble through the process alone, so you can spend less time worrying about where to turn and more time focusing on your own well-being and future.Throughout the conversation, there's a reassuring message: however you're feeling right now, you're not alone, and it is possible to create a new, fulfilling chapter after divorce. With the right kind of help and community, the process doesn't have to be isolating or overwhelming. About the Guest:Stephanie McPhail is a Love and Life Success Coach and Co-Founder of the largest Divorce Support Network in the United States. She is a certified Crisis Counselor and Coach with a Double Masters Degree in Health and Education and a Bachelors in Psychology. Bringing together people thinking of/going through/on the other side of divorce with trusted professionals to support them through one of the most stressful time of their lives to help ensure they don't make the same mistakes moving forward and instead create a life they love.To connect with Stephanie:Website: https://divorcesupportnetwork.com/All the socials: @divorcesupportnetworkAbout the Host: Mardi Winder-Adams is an ICF and BCC Executive and Leadership Coach, Certified Divorce Transition Coach, Certified Divorce Specialist (CDS®) and a Credentialed Distinguished Mediator in Texas.

Deborah, Sophee's mother, "is in her own world and she's happy there and I come in and out of that world and that's ok," continues Payne who's never felt that she's had to live near  to her parents.  Payne is comfortable saying, "I care for them deeply, I just feel that closeness to them is not a priority."  A Florida native, now living in Vancouver, CA,  Sophee is happily ensconced in her full time career, helping other's fulfill their dreams.After six years, getting straight A's and doing all that she was 'supposed to do,'  completing her bachelors degree and getting a Master's Degree in Industrial Design, she realized that she wasn't happy. My guest loved the design work but really missed the one one one interaction with people. After watching her mother struggle in an attempt  to start her own business and fail, Sophee felt so much 'self doubt' that she never thought she'd be capable of  starting her own.  Again, interesting dynamics between the two women often got in the way. Payne feels that her mom likes having people around so they can do things for her that she doesn't necessarily like to do. "She demands a lot from the people closest to her," admits Sophee. "I think of her as a sun, even from a distance I can feel this warmth, she gives direction, but at the same time, the closer you get the more uncomfortably warm you get  and also the more you're kind of forced to evolve around her," reflects Payne.Sophee is comfortable saying what works for her now regarding her relationship with her mom.  It's about "showing my mom compassion, compassion with boundaries." WEBSITE: BEST LIFE COACH COLLECTIVEhttps://bestlifecoachcollective.com/coach/sophee-payne/ WEBSITE:https://www.sopheepayne.com/Hi, I'm sophee.connect with me hereI'm an ICF-accredited, international career coach based in Vancouver, Canada and Seattle who uses positive psychology, ontology, and strength-based analysis to help people identify what they are looking for — and how to find long-term happiness, growth and fulfillment in their professional and personal lives.I have worked with people from Seattle to Shanghai, and my international career counseling practice is multidisciplinary and champions people of all backgrounds.

This and all episodes at: https://aiandyou.net/ . It's more important than ever to define just what we mean by words like intelligence, consciousness, and thinking. Here to help us is Kate Hayles, Distinguished Research Professor at the University of California at Los Angeles. Her research focuses on the relations of literature, science and technology, and a new theory of mind—what she calls an integrated cognitive framework (ICF)—that includes the meaning-making practices of lifeforms from bacteria to plants, animals, humans, and some forms of artificial intelligence. That's the topic of her new book, Bacteria to AI:  Human Futures with our Nonhuman Symbionts. A symbiont is an organism living in symbiosis with another, with a closely-coupled mutual relationship between them. Kate's other books include Postprint: Books and Becoming Computational, Unthought: The Power of the Cognitive Nonconscious, and How We Think: Digital Media and Contemporary Technogenesis. She has many fellowships, including two University of California Presidential Research Fellowships, and is a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. We talk about the relationship between cognition and consciousness, and between cognition and computation; our dependency and codependency on technology; concepts like anthropocentrism and technosymbiosis, which Kate unpacks in the service of laying out a really novel way of thinking about thinking; and whether AI is thinking, or feeling. All this plus our usual look at today's AI headlines. Transcript and URLs referenced at HumanCusp Blog.
