Silicon Valley veteran and early employee at Google, Facebook, and Quip, Molly Graham, joins CJ to discuss all things related to scaling startups, growing as a leader, and progressing in your career. Molly talks about her famous “Give Away Your Legos” talk and how this came about before she and CJ discuss the concept of “work grief” and how to get through it when you have to give up something that your identity is tied to. Having had a very non-linear career path and “stumbling sideways into things”, Molly explains the J-Curve versus staircase analogy for career progression and encourages especially those in finance roles to take big risks. From handling the grief of laying someone off to learning the skill of saying no, mastering the art of destruction as an important part of building a company, and knowing how to fire people not just hire them, Molly shares profound insights from her impressive career. If you're looking for an ERP head to NetSuite: https://netsuite.com/metrics and get a customized KPI checklist.—SPONSORS:Maxio is the only billing and financial operations platform that was purpose built for B2B SaaS.

My guest today on the Online for Authors podcast is Ally Dalsimer, author of the book, It's Okay Not to be Fabulous Every Day. Ally is a published author, award-winning environmental expert, former political candidate, and an experienced life coach. Life highlights include traveling the world, rescuing 7 cats, raising two children, and surviving the death of her husband and mother. Her breadth of life experience infuses her ‘Fabulous' book with incredible insights and lessons learned.   Ally has undergraduate degrees in English and Psychology from the University of Richmond, and a Master's in Public Policy, Environmental Law and Economics Track from Georgetown University. She lives in Virginia with her rescue cat Pooma. She has authored or co-authored more than 50 articles, technical reports, proceedings, brochures, and now a book! She is a member of ALLi, SCBWI, TWSA, and AAUW. Her new book, Jack & Ginger: An Unexpected Friendship will be available in 2024! In my book review, I stated It's Okay Not To Be Fabulous Every Day by Ally Dalsimer is an inspirational read reminding us that although we should have goals and strive to reach them, we don't have to be at the top of our game every single day. In fact, it isn't possible to do so. When that is our aim, we are sure to become disappointed in ourselves. Ally began this book as a book of 'lessons learned' for her children as they began to move away from home and start their adult lives. In the end, she realized that everyone needs these bits of wisdom. Each chapter has quotes from sources you will recognize, such as Martin Luther King, Jr, but she also throws in Yoda. In fact, Ally is willing to share truth wherever she finds it to help each of us live a more fulfilled life. ​ I think this book would be a perfect source of daily inspiration and could easily be used for prompts for daily journal writing. It is not a 'one and done' book. Instead, it will stay on your bedside table for easy access whenever life seems just a little bit too hard.

One of the traits of being a human is that we all make mistakes. Nobody is perfect. And yet, somehow, we often feel there's something wrong with us if we don't live the perfect lives we see depicted online and in the media.

We discuss these with author Ally Dalsimer, whose book It's Okay Not to Be Fabulous Every Day addresses these issues head on.

Breastfeeding Versus Formula Science versus Opinion I read with somewhat of a frustrated feeling a recent article in Scientific American entitled: It's Okay Not to Breastfeed by Kavin Senapathy. In principle, the reality of this statement is reasonable. Then you read the article as to what makes this reasonable. She states: "Exclusive breastfeeding is not imperative, and the “breast is best” mantra can be harmful to babies and parents, especially among marginalized people."(K. Senapathy 2023) Again, at first blush this may seem reasonable. Let's dig into the science and the truth of breast versus cow milk based formula for optimal health for a child. Does formula in all of its forms work for infant nutrition in order to grow and survive in a reasonable way? The answer is a resounding yes, however, this does not tell the whole story, far from it..... Enjoy, Dr. M

SHOW NOTES: In this week's Mind ReMapping Moment, I am joined by a relatable counselor, a mother, a model, and a mental health advocate. We are discussing the incarcerated mind and how Black Americans are constantly misdiagnosed. · Is it working if it is holding you back? · When is it okay not to be okay? · How do we unlearn certain things? These and many more await you in this week's special episode with Mandii Brown, who wrote an article called The Incarcerated Mind. In this episode, she will share how she creates a safe space for all. Today we will also be inspired by how she empowers other people and how rehabilitation can work when we have therapists like her. The Incarcerated Mind. An article that Mandii Brown wrote was inspired by the first group of female inmates she had worked with inside. She shared that during the first two weeks of working, they will manipulate you and put you in this mindset that they are inmates. She created a safe space for them because they need to feel safe first for a human to genuinely open up to another human about what is wrong with them. It is Okay Not to be Okay. We have to teach ourselves that it is okay not to be okay. It is okay not to have it together, and it is okay that we went through stuff. When we stop thinking that we have to suffer in silence, we can start looking for help. But we cannot bear that we are at a certain age and have to hold ourselves accountable to unlearn certain things to grow. Learn to Unlearn Certain Things. We have to hold ourselves accountable to unlearn certain things to grow. Some people do not want to unlearn when they get past a particular stage anymore because it has worked for them for so long. We need to be willing to acknowledge that there are things that we need to unlearn and be accountable for our healing: this includes reaching and connecting with a professional that can help us. Incarcerated minds tend to lock us up and limit the existence of our lives. Everything is based on the battlefield of the mind and how we choose not just to live but how we beat ourselves up for having specific ways we think are right. We need to be willing to acknowledge that there arethings that we need to unlearn and be accountable for our healing which includes reaching and connecting with a professional that can help us. We need to be responsible for unlearning and knowing that whatever comes out on the other side is for our highest good. About Mandii Brown Mandii Brown was initially born and raised in Chicago. She was an academic supervisor for the public school system, and she saw a mental gap in the black community that many people do not acknowledge. Mandii left education, went into social work, and returned to school for clinical mental health counseling. She is also the company owner- Well What Had Happened Was, which lets the people know that they are not alone and will not be silent again. It is a safe platform to tell your story and connect to others just like you.

This week's guest is Cate Frazier-Neely.  Cate Frazier-Neely is a Singing Voice Specialist, a voice teacher with specialisation across many styles, a musician, an author, a visual artist and Somatic Educator. She is also involved in the Arts for Physical and Emotional Health. Cate candidly calls herself a traditionalist who is a rebel and in this episode, she reveals why. Cate explains that her own voice training was based on a traditional Western European Classical model, but has since stepped out to explore, perform and teach across other styles. Cate explains that as voice teachers, we need to step out of our own paradigms and we must continue to find opportunities to learn and adapt in our ever-evolving field. Cate also offers her views on different topics around singing voice pedagogy, the limitations of methodologies, the benefits of teachers having had a performance career and so much more. She shares many of her own personal and professional experiences within the singing voice industry, including those significant moments in time when she was silenced as a woman and as someone who trying to instigate change within the teaching community. There is so much to unpack in this interview with Cate Frazier-Neely and I am sure you're going to enjoy listening and learning with Cate as much as I did.https://www.Catefnstudios.comhttps://www.instagram.com/catefnstudios/https://singingthroughchange.comhttps://www.facebook.com/groups/singingthroughchange/"Where to Learn from Me for Free in 2022"https://www.catefnstudios.com/writings//better-answers-to-some-post-presentation-questionsIn this episode05:57 — Humble Beginnings10:31 — The New Thing in Music Education the You Never Knew13:31 — What is Classical Singing?20:37 — The Territories Where You Think You Should Teach24:29 — The Stains of Superiority and the Wisdom From Age 29:37 — Lessons for the Big Wigs35:54 — Knowing the Heart, Not Just Technique41:54 — Inspirations of the Great Teachings46:18 — Do You Have the Right Motive to Teach?49:28 — Putting the Muzzle on You56:18 — Making a Stand and Using Your Voice01:02:14 — Perspective as a Singing Voice Specialist01:04:16 —Kate's Mission01:06:55 — It's Okay Not to Know ThingsFor more go to https://drmarisaleenaismith.com/85Like this episode?

Daily affirmations arose out of what is called “The Law of Attraction,” popularized by author Rhonda Byrne in The Secret. This book was featured by Oprah in her book club in the early 2000s, and fleshed out by one of her favorite spiritual gurus, Eckhart Tolle. When The Secret first came out it was viewed skeptically by Christians and secularists alike. The idea of the practitioner bringing some desired object or circumstance into being by aligning her thoughts with vibrational frequencies of the “universe” —attracting money, fame, health, and love — is absurd on its face. Money comes not by feeling and thinking but by working. Love is a complicated business. And fame, well, in the age of social media, that is perhaps easier to attain. But over the decades, manifesting has entered into many Christian circles through the Word of Faith heresy and the extreme popularity of Joel Osteen, Joyce Meyer, and Rachel Hollis. By building habits, particularly through the daily affirmation, you can begin to tune your feelings and thoughts to the frequencies that will bring you happiness and wealth. You step, as it were, into the current of all the good you desire. That is why the grammatical tense of the affirmation matters. You have to begin to live now as if you already have all the money. But what were we made for? What should we desire? Should Christians practice daily affirmations? This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Anne Kennedy about her online-exclusive, “I'm the Head and Not the Tail: A Christian Decides to Skip the Daily Affirmation”. https://www.equip.org/article/im-the-head-and-not-the-tail-a-christian-decides-to-skip-the-daily-affirmation/Locked articles are online exclusive content that are only available to subscribers.

​“I invite you, therefore, in the name of the Church, to the observance of a holy Lent,” the pastor paused for breath and stretched out his hands to the congregation, trying by the power of his will to disbar the sleep from their eyes, for it was only seven in the morning, and a miracle that any of them were there at the appointed time. His voice called across the empty pews, “by self-examination and repentance; by prayer, fasting, and almsgiving; and by reading and meditating on God's holy Word.” The assembled ten people, bilious from the carb-laden stupor of previous evening's Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper, wrestled their wandering minds to the liturgical mat and began to confess their sins.It is an ancient practice — the observation of Lent — and one that for many, especially in the apocalypse of COVID-19, is falling by the way. It is becoming a vestigial yet beautiful anachronism for which formerly religious people feel nostalgia, without being able to remember why they obeyed when the church called for their penitent attention.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Anne Kennedy about her online-exclusive article, “Haven't We All Sacrificed Enough: A Christian Tries to Observe Lent”. https://www.equip.org/article/havent-we-all-sacrificed-enough-a-christian-tries-to-observe-lent/Starting in February 2021, online-exclusive articles, have been locked and are only available for Journal subscribers as noted below; however, given the time sensitive nature and global importance of this subject, our editorial board decided to make this available to the public as soon as possible.

“In any case,” writes Rachel Held Evans in the middle of her posthumously published work, Wholehearted Faith, “I wonder sometimes whether we're playing at death and calling it life.” In characteristic and prescient candor, at the time of her death, Held Evans was in the act of asking the peculiar and essential questions that strike to the heart of what it means to be a creature created by God. She was circling around the most elemental issues of Christianity, of death and life, of love and truth. In her last words, we find a legacy of doubt, the grief of a person who was putting her finger on the central point without yet acknowledging the Verity Himself—Jesus—standing before her. Along with the beautifully illustrated children's book, What Is God Like, Wholehearted Faith gives us a picture of what sort of god Held Evans was sketching out—not the God of the Bible, not of Jesus who makes that God known to us in the fullness of his astonishing and glorious mercy, but the god of ourselves.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Anne Kennedy about her online-exclusive article, “The Windswept Plains of the Heart: A Review of Wholehearted Faith and What is God Like.”https://www.equip.org/article/the-windswept-plains-of-the-heart-a-review-of-wholehearted-faith-and-what-is-god-like/Starting in February 2021, all online-exclusive articles, have had a early access window for Journal subscribers only before being made public.

African Traditional Religion (ATR) encompasses all indigenous African philosophies, worldviews, and religious practices south of the Sahara Desert. Though by no means a fixed religious system, sub-Saharan African cultures by and large share many similar views of God, the ancestors and spirits, honor and shame, magic and witchcraft, and rites of passage. While God is not considered to be near, or “close by,” he is nevertheless part of a hierarchical yet holistic spiritual world, mediated to humanity by ancestors and spirits. Moreover, spiritual power is bound to the material and physical realm. The separation between the visible and invisible is very thin, in some cases non-existent. The unseen world of ancestors, spirits, and magic orders the day-to-day experience of the African Traditionalist.Although one should not presumptuously generalize about the rites and customs of each place and people, it is useful to draw out the contours of the beliefs commonly shared by African societies. This is so for at least two reasons. The first is the proliferation of America's chief export to Africa — the prosperity gospel. The individualistic message of personal wealth accumulation from the hands of God by means of a false definition of faith has taken much of the world, but particularly Africa by storm. The second is the adoption of atomized, “a la cart” rites and beliefs from ATR by younger Americans. For example, the adoption of the Nigerian Ifá religion by Patrisse Cullors of Black Lives Matter (BLM) has a uniquely American flavor. It is useful for Christians encountering certain Ifá or other ATR rites and invocations at, say, a BLM rally, or in reading about them on social media, to investigate their origins as part of understanding how they are exploited in an American context. In this way, Christians might respectfully preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to their neighbors and friends.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Anne Kennedy about her article in the current (Oct 2021) issue of the Journal entitled, “African Traditional Religion, Black Lives Matter, and Prosperity Gospel.”https://www.equip.org/article/african-traditional-religion-black-lives-matter-and-prosperity-gospel/Please note this article will be fully accessible by the public in the future, to get early access to read it now, please see our FAQ section on Early Access to Online-Exclusive Articles by clicking here. https://www.equip.org/early-access-to-online-exclusive-articles-faqs/We'd also like to invite you to subscribe to the Journal.

Of the legion of ways that we, since the dawn of time, have devised to deceive ourselves and others, the insidious cruelty at the heart of the phenomenon called gaslighting is one of the most fascinating and destructive. Derived from the play Gas Light (1938), the expression is visceral, referring to the deliberate attempt by the villain to drive the heroine insane. Gaslighting is a useful umbrella trope for understanding many different kinds of damaging online behavior. Gatekeeping, tone policing, outright lying, and the demand to “do better” all constrain members of online communities through fear rather than love. Whether in private groups or in public threads, hapless and naïve Christians fall prey to intentional and unintentional gaslighting and often turn to gaslighting themselves when they fail to make themselves understood. The whining, crazed rage of the heroine in the 1940 film Gaslight, adapted from the play, well reflects the tenor and feelings of many people when they encounter the toxicity of social media.They know something is wrong, they feel themselves going mad, but they are powerless to tell the truth, or even to trust their own perceptions.Only by a renewed embrace of the objectivity of Scripture married to a biblical definition of love can Christians return to the sober reasoning of honest discourse. Where ideology clouds the perception of truth, Christians can measure everything by the light of Christ in the Scriptures. They need have no changeable orthodoxy, nor grasping appeals to gatekeeping, tone policing, or gaslighting. Rather, they might recapture the lost virtues of debate and a life-giving search for truth.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Anne Kennedy about her article in the 43:2 issue of the Christian Research Journal, “For Our Lamps Are Going Out: Gaslighting in the Age of Social Media ”. https://www.equip.org/article/for-our-lamps-are-going-out-gaslighting-in-the-age-of-social-media/Please note this article will be fully accessible by the public in the future, to get early access to read it now, please see our FAQ section on Early Access to Online-Exclusive Articles by clicking here. https://www.equip.org/early-access-to-online-exclusive-articles-faqs/We'd also like to invite you to subscribe to the Journal.

Almost all the exotic pets of my childhood in Africa were rescues, caught out of the bags of hunters and the clutches of small children who just wanted a more interesting dinner than maize porridge. I was the only one who mourned them. And, in the case of Ash, though all my family loved him, I am the one who still can't look at his grave in our back garden. And I am not alone. Join any peculiar dog breed group on Facebook and you will find countless prayer requests—long shot, hopeless pleas for God, to whom the poster has probably never prayed before, to spare a dog. Members of these groups pray, to whomever they imagine, because they understand the peculiar agony of the loss of a helpless and innocent creature who they were sure couldn't die—and yet did.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Anne Kennedy about about his online-exclusive, “Meditation Upon the Death of a Pet”. https://www.equip.org/article/meditation-upon-the-death-of-a-pet/Please note this article will be fully accessible by the public in the future, to get early access to read it now, please see our FAQ section on Early Access to Online-Exclusive Articles by clicking here. https://www.equip.org/early-access-to-online-exclusive-articles-faqs/We'd also like to invite you to subscribe to the Journal.

In The Book of Longings Sue Kidd Monk paints a monochromatic spiritual landscape, tediously rehearsing the contours of feminine longing. As the story unfolds, her characters near perfectly portray the values, the assumptions, the hopes, and the expectations of now. If a stranger to this place and time were to require a primer of the ideal person, I would hand her this book. Let's look together at that cultural icon….This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Anne Kennedy about her online-exclusive article, “Glimpsing the Grave: A Critical Review of The Book of Longings: A Novel by Sue Monk Kidd”. **Editor's Note: This article contains spoilers for The Book of Longings: A Novel** https://www.equip.org/article/glimpsing-the-grave-a-critical-review-of-the-book-of-longings-a-novel-by-sue-monk-kidd/Please note this article will be fully accessible by the public in the future, to get early access to read it now, please see our FAQ section on Early Access to Online-Exclusive Articles by clicking here. https://www.equip.org/early-access-to-online-exclusive-articles-faqs/We'd also like to invite you to subscribe to the Journal.

“Go, be free!” concludes Beth Allison Barr in her recently released, best-selling book, The Making of Biblical Womanhood: How the Subjugation of Women became Gospel Truth. In the intersection of her life in the classroom and the strictures placed on her by her local church, her beliefs about women radically shifted. Eventually, after a difficult conversation with the theologically unbending complementarian elders at her Southern Baptist Church, Barr and her husband, the youth-pastor, were asked to leave. “This book is my story,” she writes, “a white woman whose experiences as a pastor's wife and scholar have led me to reject evangelical teachings about male headship and female submission. I am fighting against patriarchy for women.” Part medieval history, part personal narrative, and part examination of the condition of women in complementarian circles, Dr. Barr (a history professor at Baylor University) applies a feminist hermeneutic to Scripture and history, purporting to discover a malign patriarchal inclination, if not an actual conspiracy by complementarians to write women out of the Bible, out of the church, and back into their homes to their highest calling by God as wives and mothers.

This week I'm talking to award-winning children's book writer and mental health advocate Esther Marshall in honour of Mental Health Awareness Week. Esther's an incredible person whose whole life had been dedicated to asking questions around diversity and inclusion. After the terrible loss of her younger sister to suicide after a long battle with mental illness, she's managed to not just pick herself, but has used her sister's memory as an inspiration to help others in a variety of ways. Esther is also the author of the Sophie Says... series of children's books, the latest of which to be released is called Sophie Says It's Okay Not to Be Okay, which encourages parents & teachers to talk about feelings with children from an early age… You can find the Sophie Says books on Amazon.co.uk and also sophiesaysofficial.com!

The term YOLO was added to the Oxford English Dictionary in 20162 but appears as early as 2011 when Drake, the Canadian singer and hip-hop artist, used it in a famous, excessively profane song.4 A fresh iteration of the ironically timeless “Carpe Diem,” YOLO is as plastic as that term, molding itself to any single person's perception of the good life. How I employ it reveals my heart priorities, the things I most value, and the dimly apprehended reality that what I believe about tomorrow will necessarily shape how I live today. The deeper and more alarming truth, however, is not that you only live once. You actually live twice, the second time forever. It's the death that happens once—and how you spend it is the critical factor for how you live not only for evermore, but for now.This Postmodern Realities episode is a conversation with Journal author Anne Kennedy about her online-exclusive article, “You Only Die Once: Why It's Okay Not to Live in the Present”.Please note this article will be fully accessible by the public in the future, to get early access to read it now, please see our FAQ section on Early Access to Online-Exclusive Articles by clicking here.
