Gaslighting does not only affect your emotions. It affects your brain.In this episode, Dr. Krystal Culler and Heather Elwell sit down with Dr. Jennifer Fraser, author of The Gaslit Brain, to examine what happens in the brain when someone experiences chronic gaslighting, bullying, and psychological harm.*Please note that this conversation was recorded live during a live Neuro Nook book club discussion and featured as part of the Virtual Brain Health Center's annual Brain Week series.*This conversation connects neuroscience, workplace culture, and lived experience. You will learn how gaslighting disrupts memory, increases stress responses, and impacts cognitive performance. More importantly, you will learn what you can do to protect your brain.This discussion also explores institutional gaslighting, why even high-performing professionals are vulnerable, and how understanding the science can reduce self-blame and increase clarity.If you have ever questioned your memory, your judgment, or your sense of reality after a difficult workplace or personal experience, this episode provides language, science, and practical strategies.What You Will Learn in This EpisodeThe difference between normal conflict and gaslightingWhy gaslighting is designed to create confusionWhat chronic psychological stress does to the brainHow the amygdala and hippocampus respond to prolonged stressWhy highly capable professionals are often targetsHow workplace cultures can enable manipulationWhy language matters in recognizing psychological harmBrain-based strategies to strengthen cognitive resilienceKey TakeawaysGaslighting follows patterns. Learning those patterns helps you see clearly.Your brain is wired for trust. That makes manipulation difficult to recognize.Psychological harm can produce real neurological effects including: stress overload, memory disruption, and cognitive fatigue.Recovery is possible. Neuroplasticity means the brain can repair and adapt.Awareness is protection. Naming the behavior reduces its power.Practical Brain Health Strategies DiscussedStrengthen awareness of your environment and patterns of behaviorBuild a more precise emotional vocabulary to better interpret stress signalsPrioritize psychological safety and supportive relationshipsSlow down decisions when something feels offQuestion assumptions and look for evidence before accepting claimsStay socially connected during recovery rather than withdrawingLearn More About Dr. Jennifer FraserWebsite: BulliedBrain.comPsychology Today column: The Bullied BrainPodcast: The FEMCAST Listen to host, Dr. Krystal Culler's conversation with Dr. Jennifer Fraser on her podcast, The FEMCAST titled, “How 'Psychopath Puppet Masters' Destroy Careers (and How to Escape)” on iTunes, Spotify, or Substack or watch on YouTubeRelated Resources MentionedLearn more about BrainHQ brain training platform from our previous podcast conversation with their lead scientist Dr. Henry Mahncke, Ph.D. “What the Latest Brain Training Science Means For Your Brain Health” Previous podcast conversations with Dr. Jennifer FraserListen now: Exposing Gaslighting: What it Does to the Brain and How to HealListen now: Understanding the Neuroscience of Bullying & Its Impact on the BrainExplore the written summary of Neuro Nook Book Club discussion on the gaslit brainKey Message From This EpisodeGaslighting loses power when it is recognized and named.

This encore presentation revisits our conversation with Natasha Miller Williams, a speaker and writer who brings data and insight together to advance the conversation about inclusion in the workplace. Together we explore a powerful idea: one person can challenge an established system.We talk about why systems inside organizations often continue long after they stop serving people well, and how leaders at every level can begin shifting them. Natasha introduces the S.E.E.R. approach: See, Expect, Express, Repeat. It offers a practical way to recognize unfair or unbalanced systems, speak up with clarity, and stay committed to change even when resistance appears.We also discuss the responsibility leaders have to create environments where people feel safe sharing perspectives that may be unpopular or overlooked. When leaders listen with empathy and act on what they hear, they strengthen trust and open the door for better decisions.This conversation reminds us that meaningful change often begins with one voice choosing to speak.Key HighlightsOne Voice Can Start Change – We explore how any leader, regardless of title, can challenge systems by speaking up and sharing a perspective that may not yet be represented in the room.Awareness Comes First – We learn why noticing whose voices are heard and whose are missing is the first step toward creating more balanced and inclusive systems.Clarity Drives Better Outcomes – We discuss the importance of knowing the outcome we expect when challenging a system so conversations stay focused on meaningful change.Communication Shapes Influence – We look at how understanding what others value helps us express ideas in ways that increase the chances they will be heard and acted on.Persistence Creates Momentum – We reflect on why challenging systems requires patience, support from others, and the courage to keep going when change takes time.About the Guest:Natasha Miller Williams is a speaker and a writer who brings data and insights together to advance the conversation on inclusion in the workplace. Her career has spanned many aspects of business, but what matters most to Natasha is finding ways to improve how we all relate to each other and the opportunities we can create for everyone.Natasha shares her perspective and research on belonging, self-expression, and organizational resilience at keynotes, panels and workshops.

In this episode of Relationships Rule, I had the pleasure of speaking with Jimmy Page, leadership expert, author, and co-creator of the powerful One Word philosophy.Jimmy has spent decades helping leaders, teams, and organizations improve culture, performance, and purpose. Through his work with athletes, businesses, and ministries around the world, he has trained more than 100,000 leaders and continues to inspire people to live what he calls an unstoppable life.During our conversation, Jimmy shared how the simple idea of choosing one guiding word for the year can bring clarity and focus to every area of life. Instead of setting long lists of goals that often fade away, the One Word approach helps people align their decisions, habits, and relationships around a single intention.We also talked about the importance of relationships in shaping our lives and leadership. One of my favorite moments in this conversation was the story involving my previous guest, Coach Jim Johnson. When Coach Jim recently reconnected with Jimmy, he realized Jimmy had actually been one of the high school basketball players he coached years earlier. It was a wonderful reminder that relationships often come full circle in unexpected and meaningful ways.Jimmy's message is simple but powerful: when you focus on what truly matters, you not only perform better, you build stronger relationships and live with greater purpose.Key Takeaways• A single guiding word can bring clarity and intention to your life and leadership.• Simplifying your focus often leads to stronger results than chasing many goals.• Purpose and performance are deeply connected to the relationships we build along the way.• Leaders who focus on culture, mindset, and wellness create stronger teams.• The right word can act as a compass for decisions throughout the year.You can reach Jimmy at: https://beunstoppable.live/ and https://getoneword.com/In appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

Many people leaving a marriage realize they have spent years prioritizing the needs of others while quietly ignoring their own. In this episode of The D Shift, Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder speaks with transformational coach Jacqueline Francis about why people pleasing becomes so common during relationships and how individuals can reconnect with their authentic identity after divorce or major life transitions.Jacqueline shares how a serious car accident became the unexpected turning point that led her to explore personal development and the power of the subconscious mind. Her experience highlights how life disruptions, including divorce, can open the door to deeper awareness and personal transformation.Mardi and Jacqueline discuss the pressures many women experience to hold everything together for everyone else while ignoring their own emotional needs. Over time, this pattern can lead to what Jacqueline calls invisible burnout, a quiet depletion that occurs when we constantly prioritize others and suppress our own feelings.Their talk covers:• Why people-pleasing patterns often develop in relationships• How invisible burnout impacts emotional and physical well-being• The importance of setting healthy boundaries during life transitions• How redefining success can lead to deeper fulfillment• Practical ways to protect your energy and prioritize self-careJacqueline also introduces Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) as a tool for releasing emotional stress and shifting long held patterns that keep people stuck. She generously offers listeners a complimentary session to experience this approach.About the Guest:I am Jacqueline Francis a Transformation Coach who helps people experience inner freedom so success, clarity, and fulfillment follow naturally. My work bridges subconscious reprogramming, emotional mastery, and embodied personal development to create real, lasting change. Rather than pushing hustle or mindset alone, I guide clients to release limiting beliefs reconnect to their true signal, and lead their lives from alignment instead of pressure. I am known for her grounded, honest approach and my ability to create powerful ripple effect. It's where inner shifts transform relationships, careers, and confidence and most importantly, the self.

Most people assume buyers hesitate because of price or because they “need more info.”But there's a quieter reason why warm leads stall - the real commitment isn't money… it's time, attention, and focus.In this episode, you'll hear a real-time look at the buyer's journey from the inside: what's happening mentally right before someone clicks “buy,” and why “this looks great” still doesn't always become “I'm in.”You'll learn:The difference between the customer journey and the buyer's journeyWhat buyers are actually deciding right before purchaseWhy “I want this” can still lead to “not right now”How to strengthen follow-up messaging when leads are already interested

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly talk about what percentage of adults in the United States live the exceptional life. As defined by earning over $100,000 a year, having a great romantic relationship and also being on top of their health. The answer is about 2%. In the podcast, John poses the question to chat GPT. Which confirms this. It's amazing that in the richest country in the world, only 2% of people are living the exceptional life. So why is that? It's because most people are just winging life. They don't have an actual way of doing life. Accordingly, they get the average life. The alternative to just winging life is the 12 minute day technique of think it be it.Buy John's book, THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it here.About the Hosts:John MitchellJohn's story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn't as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there's a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k - 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John's technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/Kelly HatfieldKelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

Why do we miss someone who hurt us?In this deeply honest episode of Female Voices: Life & Loss, hosts LaWayna Berry and Teresa Reiniger explore one of the most confusing layers of grief: grieving someone who caused you pain.Leaving a relationship that isn't healthy should feel like freedom — but often it doesn't. It can feel like loss, heartbreak, and the death of the future you thought you would have. LaWayna shares her personal story of divorce, trauma bonding, and the painful realization that love and harm can exist in the same relationship. Together, she and Teresa unpack the emotional complexity of attachment, the grief of lost dreams, and why protecting yourself doesn't mean you didn't love deeply.If you've ever questioned why leaving still hurts, or why you miss someone who didn't treat you well, this conversation will remind you that your grief is valid — and you're not alone.

In this episode of The D Shift, Strategic Divorce Consultant Mardi Winder sits down with Karen Omand, divorce and grief specialist, to talk about the often-overlooked grief that accompanies the end of a marriage. Karen brings both professional expertise and personal insight, drawing on her background in thanatology, the study of grief and loss, which she pursued after experiencing the sudden loss of her parents and navigating her own difficult divorce.Mardi and Karen explore how grief can appear in unexpected ways during divorce, including emotional overwhelm, cognitive fatigue, physical symptoms, and changes in relationships with friends and family. They also discuss why society tends to acknowledge grief after death but often minimizes the emotional impact of divorce.Topics covered include:• Why divorce can trigger grief responses similar to bereavement• The hidden losses people experience after separation• How identity, future plans, and even family pets can become part of the grieving process• Why many people feel unsupported during divorce• Practical ways to process grief and move forward with resilienceKaren also shares how journaling and narrative therapy can help individuals process their emotions while navigating the practical realities of divorce. She introduces her workbook Just Separated, a resource designed to help individuals address the emotional, legal, and financial transitions that follow the end of a marriage.About the Guest:Karen Omand is a divorce and grief specialist with degrees in Sociology and Thanatology—the study of grief and loss.

Trust feels more fragile than ever right now, and I believe leaders are being asked to navigate change, uncertainty, and higher expectations in ways we have not seen before. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller, EQ expert, TEDx speaker, and author of The Empathic Leader, to talk about empathy as a practical leadership skill that builds trust, improves culture, and drives results.Melissa helped me broaden how I think about empathy. It is not only about “feeling what someone feels.” She explains emotional empathy, cognitive empathy, and self-empathy, and why leaders can take another person's perspective even if they do not experience the same emotions. We also talk about the difference between real empathy and performative empathy, and why curiosity is one of the clearest signals that empathy is genuine.One of my favorite moments was hearing her simple leadership reminder: trust is often built through visibility and small actions, one person at a time. If you lead a team, manage from the middle, or you are stepping into leadership for the first time, this conversation will give you both insight and real-world tools you can use immediately.Key takeawaysEmpathy is both a gift and a skill. You can learn it, practice it, and get better at it over time.Cognitive empathy matters. You can understand someone's perspective without taking on all the feelings, which helps prevent burnout.Trust is built through visibility and consistency. Culture forms in the everyday moments when people are watching what leaders do.Performative empathy is self-focused. Genuine empathy is other-focused and includes curiosity.Empathy and judgment cannot exist in the same space. The more we compare through our own lens, the harder it is to truly empathize.You can find Melissa at:https://eqviaempathy.com/melissa.a.robinson@gmail.comIn appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.AND … Don't forget to connect with me on LinkedIn and be eligible for my complimentary LinkedIn profile audit – I do one each month for a lucky listener!Connect with me:http://JanicePorter.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/janiceporter/https://www.facebook.com/janiceporter1https://www.instagram.com/socjanice/Thanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Bhutan Travel Guide: Days 8-11, Travelling Solo, Flight To Bangkok With The Royal Family, Costs & Final ThoughtsIn this penultimate episode of my Bhutan Series on Winging It, I wrap up my 11-day trip to Bhutan and share my final experiences exploring Thimphu and Paro, plus my biggest takeaways from travelling through one of the most fascinating countries in the world.After originally planning a trek in the Haa Valley, I changed my itinerary and spent my final days wandering Bhutan's capital Thimphu, experiencing Bhutan's National Day celebrations, visiting local cafés, exploring markets, and eventually heading to Paro for my final night before flying back to Bangkok. I also give an idea of what budget day-to-day life is like when travelling solo in Bhutan.Along the way I stayed in luxury glamping tents in hills of Paro, met incredible locals, and had an unexpected moment on my flight to Bangkok when I discovered the King and Queen of Bhutan were on the same plane. I managed to speak to one of their closest advisors during the flight, which was a very interesting chat indeed!To wrap up the series, I also share my favourite experiences in Bhutan, practical Bhutan travel tips, what it actually costs to visit Bhutan, and advice for anyone planning their own trip to the Kingdom of the Thunder Dragon.If you're wondering how to visit Bhutan, what an itinerary looks like, or whether Bhutan is worth visiting, this episode brings together everything I learned from my time there.Check out my previous Bhutan episodesEpisode 1 Interview with Ugyen Rinzin - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000743770563Episode 2 - IMMERSIVE Hiking to Tiger's Nest Monastery - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000744754502Episode 3 - Days 1-3 solo episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000745691316Episode 4 - Interview with a female monk - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000747763604Episode 5 - IMMERSIVE Day in Bhutan - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000748856300Episode 6 - Ama Om Homestay Interview - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000750963609Episode 7 - Days 4-7 solo episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000752831510

Did Abnormal Refraction Doom The Titanic?In this powerful and thought-provoking episode of Review It Yourself, Sean sits down with renowned historian, author and TV presenter Tim Maltin to explore one of the most compelling alternative explanations behind the sinking of RMS Titanic — the Abnormal Refraction Theory.Drawing from his ground-breaking research in Titanic: A Very Deceiving Night, Tim explains how rare atmospheric conditions on 14 April 1912 may have distorted visibility in the North Atlantic. Could a natural optical illusion have delayed iceberg warnings, confused distress signals, and changed history forever?If you're searching for Titanic history, Titanic iceberg theories, or scientific explanations behind the Titanic disaster — this episode delivers evidence, clarity, and serious debate.A Deceptive Night in the North AtlanticMost Titanic discussions focus on speed, lifeboat numbers, or Captain Smith's decisions.

In this episode of The Missing Secret Podcast, John and Kelly talk about the concept of advanced leadership of self. But what does that really mean? In this episode John poses the question to chat GPT. The essence of what Chat says is it's taking personal responsibility for your life and the results that show up in your life. Making sure your actions reflect steps to your well thought out goals. John talks about how there is this constant dance between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. In the conscious mind you're establishing the ideal you. Exactly the person you want to be, exactly what you want to accomplish, and precisely how you are going to achieve your clearly defined goals. So that's again established in the conscious mind.Then you feed that to the subconscious mind. It takes 12 minutes a day. And the effect is the ideal you is who you actually become. John and Kelly talk about how the subconscious mind is either your greatest asset or your greatest nemesis in life. And it's your choice. It's your greatest nemesis in life because you're innately wired for survival. Which causes you to be fear-based and reactive. So if you don't do anything to override being wired for survival, your subconscious mind is your greatest nemesis in life. But on the flipside of that, when you properly programm yourself in your morning routine, it becomes your greatest asset. The subconscious mind is like a garden. If you water it and fertilize it by giving it the proper input, flowers are produced. If you neglect it, weeds will show up.Buy John's book, THE MISSING SECRET of the Legendary Book Think and Grow Rich : And a 12-minute-a-day technique to apply it here.About the Hosts:John MitchellJohn's story is pretty amazing. After spending 20 years as an entrepreneur, John was 50 years old but wasn't as successful as he thought he should be. To rectify that, he decided to find the “top book in the world” on SUCCESS and apply that book literally Word for Word to his life. That Book is Think & Grow Rich. The book says there's a SECRET for success, but the author only gives you half the secret. John figured out the full secret and a 12 minute a day technique to apply it.When John applied his 12 minute a day technique to his life, he saw his yearly income go to over $5 million a year, after 20 years of $200k – 300k per year. The 25 times increase happened because John LEVERAGED himself by applying science to his life.His daily technique works because it focuses you ONLY on what moves the needle, triples your discipline, and consistently generates new business ideas every week. This happens because of 3 key aspects of the leveraging process.John's technique was profiled on the cover of Time Magazine. He teaches it at the University of Texas' McCombs School of Business, which is one the TOP 5 business schools in the country. He is also the “mental coach” for the head athletic coaches at the University of Texas as well.Reach out to John at john@thinkitbeit.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-mitchell-76483654/Kelly HatfieldKelly Hatfield is an entrepreneur at heart.

Episode SummaryWhy is it so difficult to change habits even when you deeply care about the goal?In this episode of the Let's Talk Brain Health Podcast, Dr. Krystal Culler, DBH, MA, sits down with returning guest Trish Turo, NBC-HWC, health educator/researcher & brain health coach, to explore habits and behavior change through a brain-based lens.Together, they unpack how habits form, why resistance shows up, and what is happening inside the brain when we try to change routines. This conversation focuses on real-life behavior change, not ideal conditions. You will learn how brain systems such as the amygdala, hippocampus, and prefrontal cortex influence motivation, fear, and follow-through.This episode also explores how shame, setbacks, and past experiences shape the stories we tell ourselves about our ability to change. Instead of relying on willpower alone, Trish shares practical strategies that help you work with the brain rather than against it.If you have ever said, “I know what to do, but I can't seem to do it,” this conversation will help you understand why and what to do next.What You'll Learn in This Episode• The difference between a behavior and a habit• Why motivation often shows up after action rather than before it• How the brain's habit loop works: cue, routine, reward• Why the amygdala can make behavior change feel threatening• How past experiences and memories influence your willingness to try again• The role of shame and self-talk in habit formation• Why social support improves long-term behavior change• Practical ways to make habit change easier for your brainPractical Brain Health Tips from This EpisodeStart smallFocus on one change at a time instead of trying to overhaul everything at once.Use habit stackingPair a new habit with something you already do daily.Anchor your habits to your valuesConnect behavior change to something meaningful, such as family, health, or purpose.Create visual remindersPhotos or objects connected to your values can reinforce daily choices.Practice self-compassionYour brain is designed to protect you from change. Progress requires patience.Try something more than onceYour brain needs repetition to build new neural pathways.Spend time in natureEven small moments outside can support brain health and regulation.About the GuestTrish Turo, NBHWC, is a National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach, brain health educator, researcher, and registered yoga teacher. She holds a master's degree in health psychology and has spent more than a decade helping individuals and organizations support behavior change and healthy lifestyle habits.Trish has presented at national conferences, served on national committees, and worked across digital healthcare organizations.

Workplace culture did not disappear. It became disconnected from the systems meant to support it. When only 21% of employees worldwide report being engaged, and managers are disengaging faster than their teams, the issue is not motivation. It is a misalignment.In this conversation, leadership expert Tiffany Connauton challenges the outdated workplace systems, HR structures, and performance models that no longer serve a modern workforce. She explores burnout, accountability, emotional intelligence, experiential learning, and the quiet erosion of leader capacity in a “more for less” economy. The path forward is not softer leadership or looser standards. It is human leadership with accountability built in. Change does not require a revolution. It requires one percent shifts practiced consistently. That is how stability is rebuilt from the inside out.Threads We Pulled On:Is Workplace Culture Still Relevant? – Examine why culture is not optional and how every group of humans naturally creates an environment, whether intentional or not.The Engagement Crisis Leaders Cannot Ignore – Understand what current workforce statistics reveal about burnout, disengagement, and the strain on managers.Outdated Systems, Modern Expectations – Discover how legacy HR policies and performance structures may be undermining both people and profit.Human Skills as Competitive Advantage – Explore why emotional intelligence, decision-making, and experiential learning are becoming essential leadership capabilities.Burnout in the Age of AI – Consider how efficiency tools may be amplifying pressure instead of creating breathing room.The Power of One Percent Change – Learn how small, consistent shifts create stability, momentum, and meaningful long-term transformation.About the Guest:Tiffany Connauton is the CEO of Beyond Diversity Inc., creator of Uncharted™, and co-creator of the R.E.N.E.W. Edge change management model. Her work focuses on helping organizations build the human skills needed to perform, adapt, and grow in today's evolving business environment. Through experience-based learning and practical, people-centered strategies, she moves insight into lasting action.Known for her trailblazing leadership in the people space, Tiffany challenges outdated workplace approaches and redefines how work gets done. She is recognized for championing the idea that human experience and strong business results are not competing priorities, but mutually reinforcing drivers of success. Across industries including mining, energy, finance, education, legal, and the public sector, she partners with leaders and teams to navigate complex change with clarity and strength.Connect with Tiffany:https://beyonddiversityinc.com/www.linkedin.com/in/tiffany-connauton-773a69196https://www.linkedin.com/company/beyond-diversity-inc/?viewAsMember=trueAbout Amy:Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.

Bhutan Itinerary Days 4–7: Druk Wangyel Festival, Punakha Dzong + Phobjikha ValleyIn this episode of the Winging It Travel Podcast, I continue my Bhutan travel series covering Days 4–7 of my guided journey through one of the most unique and spiritual countries in the world.These were some of the most immersive days of the entire trip.It begins high in the mountains at the Druk Wangyel Festival, held annually at Dochula Pass. Surrounded by 108 chortens and Himalayan peaks, this patriotic festival honours Bhutan's Fourth King and celebrates peace, unity, and national identity. Wearing the traditional Bhutanese gho, I experienced mass dances, military performances, storytelling, and a powerful display of modern Bhutanese culture.From there, we descend into the warmer Punakha Valley — home to the breathtaking Punakha Dzong, one of Bhutan's most important historical and spiritual landmarks. Built in 1637 at the meeting point of two rivers, this former capital remains a living monastery and royal ceremonial site — and yes, it's where Bhutan's King and Queen were married.I also hike to the hilltop temple Khamsum Yulley Namgyal Chorten, walk through rural villages to reach the famous fertility temple Chimi Lhakhang, and cross the swaying Punakha Suspension Bridge with dramatic valley views below.One of the most special experiences? Staying in a traditional Bhutanese homestay — helping churn butter, cooking local dishes, and learning about family history in a farmhouse perched above the valley.The journey then takes me east into the stunning Phobjikha Valley, often called the “Switzerland of Bhutan” for its wide glacial landscape and alpine feel. Here, I overnight at Gangtey Monastery, witness an emotional end-of-year monk ceremony, and experience Bhutan's spiritual depth in complete silence — and freezing temperatures.Check out my previous Bhutan episodesEpisode 1 Interview with Ugyen Rinzin - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000743770563Episode 2 - IMMERSIVE Hiking to Tiger's Nest Monastery - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000744754502Episode 3 - Days 1-3 solo episode - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000745691316Episode 4 - Interview with a female monk - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000747763604Episode 5 - IMMERSIVE Day in Bhutan - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000748856300Episode 6 - Ama Om Homestay Interview - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/winging-it-podcast/id1559489384?i=1000750963609

This week, I sit down with Nick Richtsmeier to explore something many business owners feel but struggle to articulate: trust is eroding, and it is affecting every sales conversation.Nick challenges the traditional growth playbook. Instead of treating hesitation, resistance, or disengagement as problems to fix, he reframes them as valuable data. Distrust is not a failure. It is information.We talk about why digital systems reward speed and extraction over relationship building, and why small businesses feel the impact most. Nick introduces the idea of “trust nodes” as simple, human touch points that shape long-term loyalty far more effectively than funnels or persuasion tactics.If you have ever wondered why prospects seem more skeptical, why sales cycles feel longer, or why pushing harder no longer works, this conversation will give you language and clarity.At its heart, this episode is about returning to what actually grows business: authentic relationships built on transparency, alignment, and integrity.Key TakeawaysResistance in a sales conversation is not rejection. It is feedback.Distrust often reveals misalignment in expectations, incentives, or promises.Small relational moments, or trust nodes, matter more than automated campaigns.Traditional persuasion tactics are losing effectiveness in a skeptical market.Sustainable growth comes from strengthening relationships, not gaming systems.You can find Nick at: Culturecraft.comIn appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.

Most men don't ReThink alcohol because everything's fallen apart.They ReThink because they're tired of the trade-off. A few hours of switch-off in exchange for a foggy head, lost energy and another quiet promise to 'sort it out next week.In episode 240 of The Alcohol ReThink Podcast, Patrick is joined by Ritchie, a long-time listener who decided to change his relationship with alcohol after more than 20 years of what many might call 'normal' drinking .There was no rock bottom moment. No crisis. Just a growing awareness that alcohol had gone from something social to something relied upon.Ritchie shares what it was like growing up in UK drinking culture. Friday nights in a field at 15. University midweek sessions. Rugby matches followed by beers. Watching Liverpool with drinks before, during and after the game. It wasn't chaos. It was routine. And that familiarity made it harder to question.After one night where a few beers left him feeling worse than expected, something clicked. He didn't decide to quit forever. He set himself a target of 100 days and committed to seeing what would change.What followed wasn't easy.He talks honestly about the first 30 days, thinking about beer constantly and driving past Morrisons with the urge to turn left out of habit. That pull back to what's comfortable is real, and he doesn't sugar-coat it.Awesome things you'll hear during this conversation:• Why you don't need to hit rock bottom to make a change• What the early weeks feel like when your brain keeps suggesting 'just one'• How to interrupt autopilot patterns, even something as simple as the drive home• The impact alcohol was having on his sleep, training and recovery• Why speaking to someone external made all the differenceBy 111 days, Ritchie noticed clearer thinking, stronger training sessions and heavier lifts at 38 than he'd ever managed before. More importantly, he began to understand what alcohol had been doing for him emotionally, and why letting it go felt uncomfortable at first.This episode is a grounded, honest look at what it takes to break a long-standing pattern, especially when that pattern looks normal from the outside.If you've ever found yourself debating whether to stop at the shop on the way home, this one will resonate.Work with Patrick:Discover how coaching can support your goals in rethinking alcohol.

Abbie Fink and Adrian McIntyre discuss the intricacies of communicating with journalists and the public in the midst of the criminal investigation in Tucson, Arizona into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the 84-year-old mother of journalist and television host Savannah Guthrie.They explore the responsibilities and pressures faced by local public information officers and other official spokespeople who find themselves in the national spotlight during high-profile cases.Their conversation touches on the balance between transparency and investigative confidentiality, the importance of maintaining control over the narrative, the need for authenticity in public statements, and the ethical responsibilities of journalists covering such stories.Read the transcript and notes for this episode on our website.Key TakeawaysIn a crisis involving sensitive criminal investigations, public information officers must balance the need to keep the public informed with the necessity of not compromising the investigation.The competitive nature of media often drives sensationalized coverage, which can complicate the role of spokespersons and influence public perception.Genuine, less polished performances by spokespersons can sometimes foster public trust more effectively than highly rehearsed statements.Journalists face challenges in remaining ethical and responsible while meeting the demand for continuous updates.Even in challenging situations, valuable lessons can be drawn that enhance future crisis communication strategies.Follow the podcastIf you enjoyed this episode, please follow Copper State of Mind in Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or any other podcast app. We publish new episodes every other Friday.

Today, Mardi Winder sits down with Michele Garrett, a women's life and transition coach with more than three decades of experience in guiding individuals through personal and professional growth. Their conversation centers on the unique transitions women face, especially during the “third act” of life, when careers shift, children grow up, relationships change, and opportunities arise that can feel both liberating and overwhelming.Michele shares her journey from educator and trainer to coach, emphasizing the difference between directing others and empowering them to discover their best selves. The discussion highlights the struggle many women experience with feeling stuck after years of focusing on everyone else's needs, and the challenge of learning to prioritize themselves without guilt. Michele offers insights into how identifying core values and creating space for self-reflection can help women move past old patterns and limiting beliefs. She outlines how even small changes, like scheduling moments for fun or setting healthy boundaries, can make a significant difference.Mardi and Michele explore the importance of learning to be comfortable alone, reframing the experience from being a punishment to an opportunity for growth. They stress that transitions are not about rigid goals, but about clarity, flexibility, and honoring what's truly important. Listeners are encouraged to consider what “blossoming into your best” means personally, and to take practical steps toward creating a more fulfilling life, one choice at a time.About the Guest:Michele Garrett is a women's life and transition coach, leadership mentor, and learning strategist with over 30 years of experience guiding individuals through personal and professional growth. As founder of Michele Garrett Coaching, LLC, she blends heart-centered coaching with practical tools to help women rediscover their voice, build confidence, and lead with clarity.

In this episode, I sit down with David Homan, master connector, podcaster, start-up founder, co-author of Orchestrating Connection and founder of Orchestrated Connecting. We explore how connection, generosity, and purpose can transform our businesses and our lives.David shares how he's built a system to track and honor referrals — so that connectors get recognized for the value they create. We also talk about his insight that while most people are great at helping others, they often struggle to ask for what they need.We dive into why being intentional about who you surround yourself with matters, and how success often comes down to the right people in the right conditions. Key Takeaways:The best connectors give freely — but they also need to learn to ask for themselves.Every introduction has value; honoring the chain of connection strengthens trust.Purposeful communities grow when people align around shared values and generosity.The equation for meaningful success: the right people + the right conditions.True connection isn't networking — it's orchestrating relationships with intention.David can be found at: orchestratedconnecting.com In appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.
