How do you make an institution that's both a museum and a memorial — at the same time?How are exhibitions like theater? Is a museum a group experience, or a personal one — or is that a trick question? When is it time to trust your gut? Why is collaboration so important? When is a single milk can the most important object in a museum? How can one single, simple philosophy inform everyone's work, from the curators to the team making mounts for the artifacts? How are the principles of making a memorial museum different from other types of museums — or are they so different after all?Alice Greenwald (Principal of Memory Matters, LLC, and past President and Chief Executive Officer of the National September 11 Memorial & Museum) joins host Jonathan Alger (Managing Partner, C&G Partners) to discuss “Making a Memorial Museum.”Along the way: spackling, reverence, and what happens when a museum director leaves their office door open.Talking Points:0.

Have you ever felt like your heart was trying to communicate something vital, but you just couldn't find the words to express it? That inner voice sometimes just needs a way to get out—and by pure chance I discovered a great way: Doodles!On this episode of Building Resilience, I'm thrilled to introduce you to the world of Heartwork Journaling with the incredible Maritza Parra. Together, we dive into the transformative power of journaling, doodling and art, exploring how they can help us connect with our inner selves on a profound level. Maritza shares her journey, revealing how these tools have become a pivotal tool in her life (and now mine!) for self-discovery and emotional healing.Guest Links:For more insights into Maritza's work and to embark on your own journey of self-discovery, visit her heartworkjournaling.com.

Sometimes, with the right mindset, you can learn lessons from anywhere—but even I didn't expect to be so inspired by a little shoe-wearing shell.That's exactly what we're diving into in this (admittedly different) episode of Building Resilience, as I take you through the surprisingly deep themes found in the movie "Marcel the Shell with Shoes On." Despite its whimsical nature, Marcel's journey touches on the importance of connection, managing stress through play and laughter, and the essence of hope and resilience amidst grief and loss. Through Marcel's eyes, we're reminded of the significance of community, the power of a positive mindset, and the strength found in simple joys. Marcel's story is a testament to the resilience within us all, proving that sometimes, the smallest characters can inspire the biggest changes in our perspective.Resources:Podcast Roadmap: Revolutionize your life with the power of your nervous system, listening to these episodes.The "Memory Matters" course---cherish and protect your memories, they're invaluable.The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training---join the waitlist!

Sometimes, the pain we feel isn't just a symptom of physical injury but a complex interplay between our body and mind. This connection, often overlooked, can hold the key to understanding chronic pain and even unlock new ways of relieving it. The pain is real—but its physical traces are not always present.In this episode of Building Resilience, I delve into the intriguing concept of neuroplastic pain and mind-body syndrome. I had the opportunity to explore this topic with Dr. Howard Schubiner, whose insights shed light on how our brain can sometimes make the body feel physical symptoms. We discuss the criteria for identifying these types of conditions (FIT), and the profound implications for healing.

Pain is more than just a signal; it's a complex experience that intertwines with our nervous system in ways we're only beginning to understand.In this episode of Building Resilience, I take you through the intricate relationship between chronic pain and the nervous system. Drawing from my certification in pain reprocessing therapy, I delve into the concept of neuroplastic pain---where our brains mistakenly perceive safe signals as threats, causing real pain without physical harm. I share insights into how chronic pain can arise from past trauma, stress, and even certain personality traits—but the important thing to remember is that all pain is genuinely felt and deeply real.Links:Ep.163 - The Power of WalkingResources:Podcast Roadmap: Revolutionize your life with the power of your nervous system, listening to these episodes.The "Memory Matters" course---cherish and protect your memories, they're invaluable.The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training---join the waitlist!

Sometimes, it's the most straightforward activities that hold the most profound benefits for our mental, physical, and emotional well-being. And often it only requires a few simple steps—in this case, literally!On this episode of Building Resilience, we dive into the multifaceted world of walking. Walking isn't just a physical exercise; it's a gateway to improved mental health, creativity, and deeper social connections. I share personal stories, including my father's love for walking and how it shaped his life and the lives of those around him. We also explore how simply walking helped my husband recover remarkably from a heart attack.Walking can be a meditative journey, an opportunity to connect with nature, and a simple yet effective way to process emotions and stress. It's more than just a physical activity; it's a practice that can enrich our lives in countless ways.

Stepparenting, especially as a stepmom, can often feel like a league of its own. It's a unique challenge that's a mixture of love, complexity, and sometimes, a feeling of invisibility. Sometimes, you feel like you're giving your all in a blended family, yet you're still not quite fitting in.On this special episode of Building Resilience, we delve deep into the world of stepparenting. I share personal insights and experiences, along with voices of many other stepmoms, about the ups and downs of this journey. It's not just about the typical parenting challenges; it's about navigating relationships, dealing with perceptions, and often, facing unspoken struggles.Links:Ep. 79: The Benefits of Nature on Your WellbeingEp 120: The Dreaded Drama Triangle23 and 1/2 hours: What is the single best thing we can do for our health?Resources:Podcast Roadmap: Revolutionize your life with the power of your nervous system, listening to these episodes.The "Memory Matters" course---cherish and protect your memories, they're invaluable.The Advanced Nervous System Resilience training---join the waitlist!

Dean Bedford reviews Why Memory Matters: 'Remembered Histories' and the Politics of the Past by Rowan Light published by Bridget Williams Books.

Why do we remember certain aspects of the over others, and why does it matter? Those are the central questions behind a new book from historian, lecturer, and curator of the Auckland War museum Dr Rowan Light. "Why Memory Matters: Remembered histories and the politics of the past" is available now. Rowan Light joins us on Nights.

Our health is vital to every other aspect of our life—from our mood to the things we're able to accomplish. While some things about our health are outside of our control, there are a few “low-hanging fruits” that can have huge ripple effects on the way you feel physically, mentally, and emotionally.Recently, I attended a lecture by Dr. Andrew Huberman, which was super exciting for me as a big fan. During his presentation, he shared some tools that can help you improve your health. I loved these so much (and thought they fit so well with my podcast) that I thought I'd share them with you today, adding some of my own insights along the way. You won't want to miss this one— listen in for some vital tools to increase your stress threshold, to deal with stress in real time, and get the most out of your sleep.We'll also explore:Proactive approaches to daily perceived threats and stressors.“Game Day” techniques, like the Physiological Sigh and the “rag doll” technique (Andy's coming!)Sleep Hygiene, and the significance of maintaining routines, reducing screen time before bed, and creating an ideal sleep environment.Morning Routines, and the power of early sunlight exposure and exercise in enhancing sleep quality and overall health.

**Trigger Warning: This episode contains mentions of suicide.**Have you ever found yourself unsure of how to approach the serious and stigmatized topic of suicide? You're not alone. So many of us want to talk about this issue with someone we care about, but sometimes can't find the words.In this vital episode of Building Resilience, we are peeling back the layers on suicide awareness, facilitating an open dialogue that is both respectful and compassionate.Together with my remarkable guest (and wonderful daughter-in-law), Rachael Clement Fiore, we are sharing stereotypical myths on this episode today, and hoping to eradicate these myths surrounding suicide and encourage open conversations as a potential lifesaver. Rachael not only is a third year nursing student with QPR Gatekeeper training for suicide prevention, but she tragically lost her older brother to suicide a short time ago. Through our heartfelt conversation, we aspire to forge a community where individuals feel safe discussing their feelings without judgment.Listen in to hear compelling statistics that bring to light the gravity of the issues as we strive to correct common misconceptions and urge society to take perceived cries for help seriously. Our aim is to foster a space where those grappling with suicidal thoughts can express their distress openly and seek the assistance they need.If you need help, reach out—call the suicide hotline at 988 (US) and 1-833-456-4566 (Canada).

Do you remember a world before masks and social distancing? We certainly do. As we inch closer to America's upcoming presidential election, it's important to exercise the power of our memory for the good and not for evil. Memory is meant to bless us, not to haunt us. It's meant to make us vigilant, not spiteful. In this first of two back-to-back episodes with singer/songwriter Kevin Heider, we jump into all of this and more.

Why would an advocacy organization like the Israeli-American Civic Action Network (ICAN), dedicated to fighting BDS, combating antisemitism, and strengthening the U.S. - Israel alliance focus on the Holocaust? Over the past year, while working on policy initiatives related to ongoing state-sponsored Holocaust denial and distortion, I received notes of confusion, skepticism, and even annoyance from my pro-Israel colleagues. Some even called, sighed deeply, and asked, "have you heard of 'Holocaust fatigue,' people are tired of hearing about it." Holocaust fatigue? Hearing this, I felt like someone punched me in the stomach.

Can you remember every customer's name that comes in your store? Can you remember your grocery list? What day is it? Hosted by: Jeff Lenard, VP Strategic Industry Initiatives, NACS and Carolyn Schnare, Director Strategic Initiatives, NACS

I was reading a Harvard Business Review article the other day, and as you know, I refer to them off and on in these episodes. I love HBR because it helps me see different perspectives and look at concepts I hadn't considered before. The other day I read an article by Philip White about why your memory matters in leadership. I enjoy reading articles on memory. You see, when I was in school, I could listen to a teacher read off test questions and then a week later recall all of the multiple choice options as well as the correct answer, simply by listening to her share those details verbally. I can recall most song lyrics (I love music). And, when I was younger and didn't have my attention pulled in a thousand directions, I could have a conversation with someone and have total recall of the discussion, what each person said verbatim, etc. When I was in pharmacy school, I would make study notes on one piece of paper. When I would get into the exam, I could picture the piece of paper in my mind and remember the information based on seeing the "picture in my mind." (Fun facts about Katrina

We've heard it said that those who fail to remember the past are doomed to repeat it. That's why the psalmist calls us to remember God's faithfulness and warns us about the cost of forgetfulness. Even so, we see God's ultimate faithfulness--that he has not forgotten us--through the work of Christ.

In our latest episode, we explore memory loss. What’s normal, what’s not, and when to worry about your aging parents. From forgetting keys to wandering, we discuss how to figure out what’s going on, and how to get help for the whole family.

Psalm 105.1-11

What does a fatal plane crash by a veteran pilot and a patient death from a wrongful dosage by an expert nurse have in common? They both might have been interrupted in the middle of critical procedures and may not have remembered to come back to where they left off. While processing information in working memory, your attention acts like a 360° searchlight and whatever it happens to illuminate is what gets attended. Even though we cannot multitask or ‘multi-attend,' our mind foolishly persuades us that we can. Today, my guest, world-renowned working memory expert, Dr. Randy Engle, discusses how the secret of training our working memory lies in managing our attention and intention.About Randall Engle, Ph.D.Randall W. Engle, went to W. Va. State College because it was the only school he could afford to attend but it was one of the transforming experiences of his life. State was a public all-black college prior to 1954. As a consequence, most of his faculty were outstanding scholars who could not get jobs at top universities. He graduated with nearly as many hours in zoology and math as he had in psychology so it was probably inevitable that he gravitate to experimental psychology. The job market was tough in 1972 and Engle was lucky to land a job at King College in Tennessee. His two years there, with 10 classes per year, made him a teacher. Fortunately, two of his classes each year were senior research seminars, which he used to conduct experiments. At the end of two years, he had two publications, enough to land him a job at the University of South Carolina where he spent the next 21 years.He moved to the School of Psychology at Georgia Institute of Technology as Chair, a position he held for 13 years. He stepped down as chair to found the GSU/GT Center for Advanced Brain Imaging (CABI) on the Georgia Tech campus. He is editor of Current Directions in Psychological Science and has been on the editorial board of numerous other journals over his career. His research for the past 30 years has explored the nature of working memory, the nature and causes of limitations in working memory capacity, the role of those differences in real-world cognitive tasks, and the association of working memory capacity and cognitive control to fluid intelligence. His work has been funded by various agencies including the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, and Office of Naval Research. His work has been highly influential across a wide array of areas including social psychology, emotion, psychopathology, developmental psychology, psychological testing, and has contributed to modern theory of cognitive and emotional control. Harzing's Publish or Perish shows that Engle's work has been cited over 17,000 times. He is a fellow of the American Psychological Association, Association of Psychological Science, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Society of Experimental Psychology, and the Memory Disorders Research Society. He has served as Chair of the Governing Board of the Psychonomic Society, Chair of the Board of the Council of Graduate Departments of Psychology (COGDOP), and President of Division 3 of APA. He received the first APA Division 3 Lifetime Achievement Award.Support the show (https://mailchi.mp/7c848462e96f/full-prefrontal-sign-up)

If life was a play, some activities would be the star of show and others would be just ‘extras'. The mind is often full of thoughts about the upcoming main act while plowing through the mundane, such as unloading the dishwasher, taking out the garbage or rescheduling a doctor's appointment. But no matter what the task is we are always deploying Working Memory. Working Memory is the fine-china of cognition on which you either serve an ordinary burger and fries or a rib-eye steak. On today's podcast, Dr. Randy Engle will talk about the fascinating ‘system' that let's you hold on to, for example, a riddle, “Throw away the outside and cook the inside, then eat the outside and throw away the inside” and solve it without getting distracted by cars honking, people talking, or computers humming.About Randall Engle, Ph.D.Randall W. Engle, went to W. Va. State College because it was the only school he could afford to attend but it was one of the transforming experiences of his life. State was a public all-black college prior to 1954. As a consequence, most of his faculty were outstanding scholars who could not get jobs at top universities. He graduated with nearly as many hours in zoology and math as he had in psychology so it was probably inevitable that he gravitate to experimental psychology. The job market was tough in 1972 and Engle was lucky to land a job at King College in Tennessee. His two years there, with 10 classes per year, made him a teacher. Fortunately, two of his classes each year were senior research seminars, which he used to conduct experiments. At the end of two years, he had two publications, enough to land him a job at the University of South Carolina where he spent the next 21 years.He moved to the School of Psychology at Georgia Institute of Technology as Chair, a position he held for 13 years. He stepped down as chair to found the GSU/GT Center for Advanced Brain Imaging (CABI) on the Georgia Tech campus. He is editor of Current Directions in Psychological Science and has been on the editorial board of numerous other journals over his career. His research for the past 30 years has explored the nature of working memory, the nature and causes of limitations in working memory capacity, the role of those differences in real-world cognitive tasks, and the association of working memory capacity and cognitive control to fluid intelligence. His work has been funded by various agencies including the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Air Force Office of Scientific Research, and Office of Naval Research. His work has been highly influential across a wide array of areas including social psychology, emotion, psychopathology, developmental psychology, psychological testing, and has contributed to modern theory of cognitive and emotional control. Harzing's Publish or Perish shows that Engle's work has been cited over 17,000 times. He is a fellow of the American Psychological Association, Association of Psychological Science, American Association for the Advancement of Science, Society of Experimental Psychology, and the Memory Disorders Research Society. He has served as Chair of the Governing Board of the Psychonomic Society, Chair of the Board of the Council of Graduate Departments of Psychology (COGDOP), and President of Division 3 of APA. He received the first APA Division 3 Lifetime Achievement Award.Support the show (https://mailchi.mp/7c848462e96f/full-prefrontal-sign-up)
