Living between Malaysia and Singapore, I come across kids who go to tuition 5 to 7 days a WEEK. And not because they're falling behind...but because they need to stay ahead. That's the level of academic pressure here here in Asian culture. But for us moms, any pressure that falls onto our children…of course falls on us too. So in this episode, I talk about my personal approach to raising academically strong kids and effectively managing it with all other responsibilities that come with being a mom of 3 children and the founder of 3 businesses.

When I had just started my entrepreneurial journey 14 years ago, the idea that running a business is all about hustle, grit and long-hours had been planted so deep within me. I accepted it as an unavoidable truth about running a business. That being an entrepreneur as a Mom meant I'm simply sentenced to a life of no work-life balance. Until I was proven otherwise. And it took me catching dengue fever and being bed-ridden for two months to learn this lesson. But I hope for you, all that it will take is a single podcast episode. ----- Join Momentum 7-day trial: https://www.momboss.academy/momentum-special-trial To connect with me on other platforms: LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/michhon/ Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/thechillmom/ TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@michelle.hon Leave a review on our podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/sg/podcast/the-chill-momboss-build-a-profitable-business-from/id1476131353 ------- ABOUT: 11 years ago, Michelle Hon started a blog from home and turned it into a more than half a million dollar revenue business.

Being a mom is the greatest thing I've ever done. And it mixes with other wonderful things - like running my businesses from home, helping women make their lives better, and sharing my knowledge of business, entrepreneurship and life. I've never seen staying home with my kids as a sacrifice because if you think of what you do as a sacrifice, you've already set yourself up for failure. Because as soon as you use words like sacrifice, you transform yourself in to a martyr. The all sacrificing martyr - and no one recovers from being a martyr. That identity creates a box for you to live in. Have you ever made yourself into a martyr? What did you tell yourself to avoid changing?

KEY POINTS:The mentor/mentee relationship is critical in advancing medicine and technology. Significant technological developments in bone health imaging help predict fractures. As the density of bone goes down, the risk of fracture increases. CurveBeam AI Medical Director - Endocrinology Prof. Ego Seeman recently sat down with Vinti Singh, CurveBeam AI's Marketing Director, to discuss the future of bone health imaging.Prof. Seeman is a Professor and Endocrinologist in the Departments of Medicine and Endocrinology, Austin Health, University of Melbourne.He was recently awarded the Gideon A. Rodan Excellence in Mentorship Award at The American Society for Bone and Mineral Research (ASBMR) 2022 Annual Meeting in Austin, Texas.Dr. Seeman said his own mentors have played an integral role in shaping his career. He first became interested in bone and mineral metabolism during his post-doctoral fellowship at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester under Professor B Larry Riggs.“I learned so much," Prof. Seeman said of his experience at Mayo. "I made wonderful friends that I still have today, and I recommend to every young person to move out of their local town and get into the world.”Prof. Seeman also discussed the current paradigm of bone health imaging, and where analysis based on high resolution peripheral quantitative CT imaging holds promise for better detection of those patients at risk for a fragility fracture."The technology is such that the radiation exposure has been minimized and allows us to measure the very fine architecture...of the bone," Prof. Seeman said.

Stefanie R. Brown, MD is the Internal Medicine Residency Program Director at the University of Miami Miller School of Medicine and Section Chief for the Med-Peds and Pediatric Hospital Medicine. Dr. Brown completed her medical school from the University of Cincinnati, pursued a residency in Med-Peds from Rutgers New Jersey followed by a chief resident year. Prior to this role, Dr. Brown has been the program director of the Med-Peds Residency at the University of Miami as well as the Assistant Dean for Diversity and Multicultural Affairs. She is the recipient of a number of awards including the Women in Academic Medicine Excellence in Mentorship Award. Today, Dr. Stefanie Brown shares an analogy that a past mentor taught her about achieving excellence: In medicine, there are two pies that define your life.  The first contains the things you are responsible for. The slices are made up of your job and your responsibilities, whether it be clinical, administrative, research, or teaching. But the second pie is full of the things you really like to do: The slices in this pie contain all the things you are passionate about. The key to success—and excellence—is getting these two pies to intersect as much as possible. The more these pies overlap, the more we will accomplish with less stress and effort. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Moving from good to great is about knowing where your strengths are, and knowing what you need to improve on. From good to great, comes greatness to excellence, then excellence to amazing. And when you are able to pay it forward to others…that is when you move from amazing to inspiring. 2. If you're not at the table, you're on the menu. As residents, we have the opportunity to be in the environments where decisions are made, we can sit in on committees, and learn from the best so that we will be more prepared in the future to hold our own seats at the table. 3. In medicine, there are two pies. The first one contains your job responsibilities. And the second one is about what you are passionate about. The goal is to get these two pies to intersect: The better it will be for us, and the less effort it takes to achieve excellence.

As an attorney and entrepreneur, Melanie and I converse about many topics including:GratitudeAuthenticityWith only 24 hours in a day, what is an entrepreneur to doGoal setting and accountability partnersMentorshipIt is OK to stay in your 9 - 5 and have a side hustleRecovering from perfectionismFailure is going to happen, embrace itSnippets of advice like: Do one thing, do it well, finish it, and then move on to the next project. A more difficult concept for serial multitaskers and entrepreneurs with "racing minds."Failure and success are muscles, how have you flexed yours?Looking to start a business? Many of us get stuck on what is that business. Think about what you love to do or are passionate about, and then try to monetize. By looking through a different lens, clarity can be found. "Spread Your Sunshine builds confidence through inspirational keynote speaking, small business consulting, celebratory products, and a soon-to-be-launched podcast and social media show. All of their products and services mentor and cheer the community on in abandoning perfection and the fear of “failure” to tackle big challenges and create the change we wish to see in the world."Melanie's Links: Facebook, Instagram, TwitterSpread Your Sunshine Links: Website, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter About Melanie:Melanie Griffin is a Business Litigation and Employment Law Attorney at Shumaker, Loop & Kendrick who is a Past President of the Central Florida Association for Women Lawyers and The Florida Bar Young Lawyers Division and the President-Elect of the Hillsborough Association for Women Lawyers.

With integrity, persistence, and some knowledge of baseball, Dr. Kaminski shares an incredible journey from shaping his career as a physician scientist to leading the Division of Pulmonary & Critical Care at Yale. He leaves us with some sage advice to overcome challenges: 1) leave your comfort zone and 2) advocate for yourself. Pearls of Wisdom: 1. Advice Dr. Kaminski's mother (who made him feel as the best person in the world) gave him: Don't think you're better than anyone else because of achievements, privilege, or financial status. 2. Two tips for overcoming challenges: First, don't withdraw into your comfort zone. Second, Don't be afraid to advocate for yourself. 3. A great formula for moving from the good to the great is full integrity plus persistence. 4. Being a physician, although a challenging profession, is a privilege.

In this episode, we're ending Season 1 of The Mind Over Finger Podcast with a truly spectacular artist!  I speak with violin sensation Kerson Leong about his terrific YouTube series The Art of the Etude, his wise and meaningful practicing methods, and how he approaches violin mastery, and musical expression. Kerson has an amazingly authentic and profound approach to music making and I KNOW you will love this episode! SEASON 2 COMING YOUR WAY ON FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 6, 2019!  STAY TUNED! In the show, Kerson elaborates on: His journey from starting at the age of four and a half to winning the Menuhin Competition at the age of 13 How winning Menuhin was the start of a very long process that lead to him exploring and finding his independence in terms of how to think about music, devise his own solutions to technical problems, and develop his instinct The importance of knowing about the tradition and thinking for ourselves His incredible YouTube series “The Art of the Etude” How etudes allow us to develop our technique and musicality, and teach us so much about how to learn and how to practice How etudes were a real grounding force in his development How we can use etudes to develop musicality How etudes are our “playground” to work on all aspect of performing – technical and musical alike His practicing processes Knowing exactly what his goal is when he enters the practice room Having a clear idea in his head of what he wants to execute on the instrument Keeping the transitions between notes executed as if they were at full speed when practicing slowly Never neglect the right hand when working on difficult left-hand passages How important it is for him to focus on how relaxed and efficient his body is at all times when he practices – analyzing motions and figuring out what works best How letting go of the shoulder rest lead him to a depth of analysis in his physical approach to playing the violin His approach to mental practice   More about Kerson: Website: http://kersonleong.com/ YouTube channels: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC8nlRLl9jFBGaPGWMbJ5bvQ Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/kersonleong/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kersonleong/ Violin Channel Young Artist page: https://theviolinchannel.com/vc-young-artist-kerson-leong-violin/ Violin Channel Facebook artist page: https://www.facebook.com/watch/?v=2129174167156547   Biography Kerson Leong first took the music world by storm in 2010 by winning the coveted Junior First Prize at the prestigious Menuhin Competition. Ever since, the young Canadian violinist has astonished and won over both fellow musicians and audiences alike the world over with his rare and innovative mastery of his instrument, his natural ability to convey the subtlest of emotions, and the colossal scope of his live performances. Having been called “Canada's next great violinist” (Ludwig van Toronto), he has distinguished himself with his unique approach as one of the most brilliant musicians of his generation. In the 2018/2019 season, Kerson is Artist-in-Residence with the Orchestre Métropolitain de Montreal under Yannick Nezet-Seguin. Other highlights to look forward to this season include his debuts with the Sinfonieorchester Wuppertal, Liège Royal Philharmonic, Vancouver Symphony Orchestra, and London Symphonia.

I got a call one day from a recruiter saying ‘we’re looking to hire.’ I paused and looked at my situation and realized that I was in an environment where there were no female partners — in the electromechanical side of the house — and I was a litigator, living the litigator life: is this really what I want to do with the rest of my career? The call from the recruiter came at an opportune time and got me thinking about the different paths to take my career on. The idea of working with a single client, being embedded in the business, helping solve those business problems really intrigued me, so I decided to give it a chance.” “It was one of those times where I almost didn’t take the job because I was pregnant at the time, and my husband had left his big company job to join his first startup, and we were remodeling our house — a complete teardown; we were building it from the ground up. So I got the call from Intuit and I thought, should I really be taking yet another thing on right now? Is this the time to take on a major challenge as the company's first Chief IP Counsel? The lesson that I learned then and have learned continuously over my life is that opportunities don’t always arrive in your life at the best times, and in my life, it seems that the best opportunities have come at the most inopportune times!” “When I was interviewing… I actually made the decision to tell her when she was making the oral offer… I told her ‘I think I’m pregnant, is that okay?’ It turns out I found out I was pregnant that day. And she gave me the most amazing answer which was: “Thanks for telling me, the job’s still gonna be here.’” “I was a summer associate at a law firm where I worked on a project with a female partner and she was — let’s just say I got a lot of feedback on the project. At the end of that meeting, she said to me: ‘Look, I didn’t have it easy making it to partner, and I’m not going to make it easy for you either.’ I was so taken aback, and that has stuck with me and drives me to do whatever I can to help people.”   More about Anirma Gupta Anirma Gupta at Tanium Anirma Gupta on LinkedIn Anirma Gupta on Twitter ChIPs Board Director Emeritus and co-founder Awards: National Diversity Council 2018: 50 Most Powerful Women in Technology The Recorder 2015: Women Leaders in Tech Law Inside Counsel Magazine ‘R3-100 Roundup’ 2014 and 2015: a list of 100 women most likely to become general counsel in the Fortune 500 The Recorder 2014: Women Leaders in Tech Law South Asian Bar Association of Northern California 2014: Mentorship Award for mentoring efforts in the Bay Area legal community Intuit CEO’s Excellence in Leadership: Received in recognition of results achieved on building Intuit’s patent portfolio Best Bay Area Corporate Counsel Awards 2010: Best IP Counsel

You may think that postpartum depression covers all aspects of perinatal mental health issues that new mothers face. The fact is that there are other kinds of mood changes, some that are talked about and some that are relatively unknown and uncommon. Today’s show focuses on one specific problem that some mothers experience: it’s called D-Mer, which stands for Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex.   Heidi Koss, MA, LMHC, is a psychotherapist in private practice in Redmond, WA. She specializes in perinatal (pregnancy and postpartum) mood disorders, birth trauma, sexual abuse, and parent adjustment issues. Heidi has been the WA State Coordinator for Postpartum Support International www.postpartum.net, and has volunteered for over 20 years with Perinatal Support Washington www.perinatalsupport.org. She served as past board member for PATTCh – the Prevention and Treatment of Traumatic Childbirth, www.pattch.org. Heidi is active leading trainings for clinicians on appropriate assessment and treatment options for perinatal mood disorders and birth trauma. She leads monthly clinical consult groups mentoring mental health care providers to develop their competency and expertise in perinatal mental health issues.   Heidi was a co-founder of the Northwest Association for Postpartum Support (NAPS, www.napsdoulas.com) a postpartum doula organization as well as the recipient of the Doulas of North America (DONA) Penny Simkin Doula Spirit and Mentorship Award. Prior to her psychotherapy career, Heidi was a Postpartum Doula and Certified Lactation Educator for 12 years.   Show Highlights:   Heidi’s work as a mother and perinatal mental health therapist and lactation educator: ”Helping moms with mind, body, and breast” Why D-Mer is not often talked about and often misunderstood What D-Mer is: Dysphoric Milk Ejection Reflex. It occurs when milk onset/letdown happens and lasts a few seconds or minutes D-Mer is a strange emotional phenomenon with negative emotions of sadness, dread, despair, nervousness, anxiety, and irritability D-Mer can be severe, with fleeting suicidal thoughts and urges for self-harm The biochemical connection is with two hormones, dopamine and oxytocin, in which they “go rogue,” misfire, or become overactive No studies have shown who is more predisposed to experience D-Mer For some women, D-Mer symptoms ease as the baby ages, but some have no change until weaning D-Mer symptoms might be harder to treat and control in women who already have a diagnosed anxiety or depression disorder What D-Mer is NOT: nausea, postpartum depression, anxiety, breastfeeding aversion---”It’s NOT the mom’s fault.” The best treatment is to educate women about D-Mer How some women can “talk themselves through” D-Mer episodes Ideas for easing symptoms include rewiring the stress hormones, making positive associations with breastfeeding, and positive touch (massage) General good habits for life will ease D-Mer symptoms, like mindfulness, meditation, good sleep and self-care, reduced stress, and managing blood sugar fluctuations To target dopamine, nursing locations should be aesthetically pleasing to make a pleasant mental and physical experience for the mother Some women find D-Mer intolerable and decide to wean, while some can deal with the symptoms and continue to breastfeed Wellbutrin works for some women to ease the symptoms How to find support: Find a lactation consultant and pursue therapy with a perinatal mental health therapist   Resources: www.d-mer.org www.heidikoss.com Email Heidi: heidi@heidikoss.com
