Claire B. Willis – Opening to Grief: An Invitation to Turn Towards EmotionsAiring Monday, November 9, 2020 at 11:00 AM PST / 2:00 PM EST / 6:00 PM GMT / 7:00 PM CETAll of us at some point in our lives, experience loss, yet few of us are comfortable with grieving. It is hard to navigate the waters of loss. How does grief manifest in our lives? How can we integrate grieving while still carrying on with day-to-day commitments? The passage of time may be of some help, but time by itself is not the answer. It is how we “spend” the time. Join Voice Visionary Kara Johnstad and Claire B. Willis, author and clinical social worker for a heartfelt conversation on grief and how we can learn to give it a voice. Co-founder of the Boston nonprofit, Facing Cancer Together Claire is a lay Buddhist chaplain, and yoga/meditation teacher specialized in oncology, therapeutic writing, and bereavement for the last 25 years.Today she celebrates with us the release of her new book, Opening to Grief: Finding Your Way from Loss to Peace, which she co-authored with Marnie Crawford Samuelson. If our lives are to remain vital, our hearts have to stay open, for our grief is an expression of our love. Join Kara and Claire as we deepen the practice of embracing grief and holding uncertainty.To get in touch with Kara go to http://www.karajohnstad.com/Visit the Voice Rising show page https://omtimes.com/iom/shows/voice-rising/#ClaireBWillis #OpeningToGrief #Grief #VoiceRising #KaraJohnstad

I interview expert prebiotic dietitian Kara Landau about all things gut health but specifically prebiotics. That's not a typo. I said 'prebiotics' and they are different from 'probiotics'. In this episode Kara and I discuss probiotics, prebiotics, symbiotics and resistant starches. We look at how these things benefit our body and in particular our gut. We talk about naturally occurring food sources, the relationship between probiotics, FODMAPs and IBS and how to minimise gut symptoms in sensitive individuals. Our conversation moves to the fascinating topic of food and mood and the emerging science of the gut brain connection known as psychobiotics. We talk about the worst things you can do for your gut heath, good gut health habits and finally, functional foods. Join Kara and I for this informative and easy to listen to conversation about nourishing your gut bacteria.

Kara Nortman is the co-founder of Seedling and partner at Upfront Ventures. In this interview she recounts her evolution as a creative child from an adventurous family, to her role as a partner in the largest and most tenured venture capital fund in Los Angeles. Armed with an AB in Politics and an MBA from Stanford, Kara Nortman found herself the only person from business school attending a C++ class when she interned at Microsoft more than a decade ago. Before that, she delved deep into esoteric stuff, sailing across uncharted waters (talk DSL and IP switches) just to make her job as telecoms industry analyst at Morgan Stanley more fulfilling and meaningful. To Kara, so much lies beyond our comfort zones. For her, true entrepreneurs need to “dig past their limitations” to make the impossible possible. But for this to happen, entrepreneurs must have resilience, self-awareness, and passion for what they do. You can follow Kara (@KaraNortman) on Twitter and read her thoughtful writing on her blog, Venture Inside. Join Kara as she walks us through her formative years, from family trips that gave her a broader perspective, to her role as a VC evaluating the business viability of startups. Find out what makes a good pitch, and which traits differentiate successful entrepreneurs from those who won’t make the cut. In this episode you’ll learn: --- How Kara’s upbringing influenced her evolution as a top-tier entrepreneur. --- The important role love of learning and discovery plays in achieving entrepreneurial success. --- The importance of finding mentors even at the point where you can mentor budding entrepreneurs and leaders yourself. --- Why being passionate also matters in the art of investing. --- Which entrepreneurial traits venture capitalists commonly look for. --- Why entrepreneurs should also conduct due diligence on the particular investors they are pitching to as much as the other way around. --- The factors making Los Angeles a highly attractive venue for innovation, entrepreneurship and business growth.
