Podcast appearances and mentions of michelle barton

One of the biggest challenges to self-care is that it means different things to different people. Is it bubble baths and facials? Nice vacations and or buying a coveted outfit or pair of shoes? Or is it advocating for reasonable wages and safe working conditions? For some, self-care is a justification to splurge or just take a dang day off when a justification sadly should not be needed. For others, self-care is a means of survival and maintaining the capacity to keep moving forward when things feel bleak.And all too often, self-care is now presented with an individualist lens that puts the onus firmly on us and ignores the systemic influences that get in the way of caring for ourselves, and the  very real need for community and support in our lives.Self-care is not a problem that can be solved through consumption or a prescriptive plan but is both an individual practice and deeply relational and connected to the communal.So when I read an article by today's guest about how we need to stop framing wellness programs around Self Care, I reached out and invited her to join me on the show. Dr. Michelle Barton is an Associate Professor at the Johns Hopkins Carey Business School with expertise in organizational and team resilience, managing uncertainty, and interpersonal effectiveness during adversity.Drawing from wildland firefighting, high-tech entrepreneurship, expedition racing, and military operations, her research considers how groups make sense of ambiguous situations, how they coordinate, learn and share knowledge in the midst of confusion, and how they mitigate and recover from adversity. She is especially focused on the relational dynamics that enable these practices.Dr. Barton's research has appeared in many academic and practitioner journals and she has presented her work at venues such as NASA, the U.S. Army Medical Command, Johns Hopkins University Patient Safety Conference, and Boston Medical Center among others. Listen to the full episode to hear:Why relationships and connectedness are actually the keys to resilienceHow popular framings of grit and resilience ignore our agency in the face of adversityWhy we need to place the burden on systems and organizations for creating environments where we don't need to be as resilientWhy leaders who help their teams grapple with negative emotions collectively have better outcomesHow to foster connection within organizations before there's a crisisLearn more about Dr. Michelle Barton:Michelle Barton, PhD, Faculty PageConnect with Dr. Barton on LinkedInLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:"Stop Framing Wellness Programs Around Self-Care"The Last of the Wine, Mary RenaultQueen - “Don't Stop Me Now”Dark WindsThe Princess Bride

I think we can all agree that this year has been one for the record books. For so many in our industry, layoffs have become a reality rather than a fear. The good news is that there are still people hiring who need amazing candidates in their applicant pool.This is why I wanted to take a minute and chat with two of our own who were laid off at the beginning of this year, but who have now found amazing positions at new companies. They were persistent and had a strategy for utilizing LinkedIn and their resumes which led to their success. But they also didn't take this time off for granted. Was it the easiest thing in the world to have no job for five to six months? No. But both Michael and Michelle spent the time working on themselves, their mindset, their families and their knowledge base. Listen as we chat about everything from their day to day activities and scheduling their days for success to what they did outside of their job search. They both used fantastic strategies to approach potential employers as prepared as possible for their questions and their requests. If you have found yourself out of a job this year and are wondering how to get your foot back in the door, then you won't want to miss this episode.

A case with more lies than truth. So many shocking facts all lead to one night. What happened to Tanner Barton on April 21st 2012? Sources: https://actifyneuro.com/blog/hold-horses-ketamine-horse-tranquilizer/ https://www.webmd.com/depression/features/what-does-ketamine-do-your-brain https://www.thesun.co.uk/archives/news/916405/thinking-of-doing-ketamine-here-is-what-it-does-to-a-horse/ https://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/heart-arrhythmia/symptoms-causes/syc-20350668

On April 22, 2012, Tanner Barton was found dead at a friend's house. Originally, it was thought he died from a medical issue. Michelle Barton, Tanner's mother, began looking into her son's death and has many unanswered questions. For instance, after reviewing pictures of the death scene, Tanner's shoes were missing. And then there was the question of the toxicology reports. Three of them were completed and all three had different results. How was this possible?Michelle believes that her son was given something that contributed to his death. She also has issues with the family’s story about how Tanner died in their home. The family claimed that their teenage daughter found Tanner's body, checked his pulse and then left him on the floor. Allegedly, she didn't tell her parents or call 911. MIchelle has spoken to law enforcement, her county's coroner without any luck in getting help. She has also appeared on Nancy Grace and Dr. Oz for help. She still has no answers to how her son died. She has hopes that someone will listen to her and have the courage to step up and provide a useful tip that will finally reveal the truth about what really happened to her son Tanner. If you know anything about this case, please contact Michelle directly with tips. She can be reached through either of her Facebook pages: In Memory of Tanner Barton or Tanner’s Voice.

As the post-election storms continue to rock the world, a group of play enthusiasts are coming together to ask the question, can play help us heal from this divisiveness and turmoil? One Facebook post really caught my imagination. It was entitled, “Can Play Save Us?” Mathias Poulsen, Co-founder & Chairman of the Board of the NGO CounterPlay in Denmark, began his post by saying, “I need to act.” He went on to explain how a playful perspective is more vital than ever right now and therefore, so is his crusade. Between his words and the many inspiring comments, I’m re-energized to keep going as well. So this episode is my refection on what I’ve been learning so far about play from PlayGrounding guests and how we might be able to answer the question, can play save us? In a special conversation with Amanda Coolong, Co-Chairman of the Board at WITI - Women In Technology International and former PlayGrounding guest, actress Michelle Barton, we’ll look at how play can pull us out of negative, non-productive thought patterns and open us up to inspiration and action. We’ll also learn from other former guests, Meg Athavale and Megan Sadd about play’s role in battling addiction and depression. This is not my way of definitively answering Mathias’ question. It’s my starting place. I hope many more voices join in to help answer the questions he poses in his call for proposals for the CounterPlay Festival/Conference in 2017: We wish to explore the potential role of playful participation, for individuals, communities and society at large. How might it facilitate a stronger sense of agency and become a catalyst of adaptability and change? In what ways can play inspire and encourage us to question the status quo and challenge the rules? When will our innate playfulness spark our imagination and curiosity, and will it enable us to see that the world could be transformed into something else? Should we consider play a political act that can shape societies? Could it even make democracy come alive through new forms of participation? Can play bolster our courage, so we dare to speak out and challenge established power structures and hierarchies? Let’s start figuring it out together.

Have you ever had a moment when you just needed to “show up” but couldn’t feel any less like being there? Many of us have, whether it be obligations to our jobs, families or friends. But oftentimes, “putting on a happy face” can be the least constructive approach. In this episode, actress and producer Michelle Barton shares tips from the acting world about how we can find authenticity and power in those difficult moments through play. In this episode, you’ll hear: How to connect with what it is you need to show up for, even when you don’t feel like it That we’re not prisoners to our patterns of thinking How play creates a “bridge” from one mind-set to another, allowing us to be truly present for the other people in our lives, regardless of our circumstances How knowing ourselves more intimately helps us to live a life of freedom from the tyranny of negative thoughts Show Notes!
