Dr. Laura welcomes Dr. Shahana Alibhai, a TEDx speaker, bestselling author, family physician, and medical director of The Foundry Abbotsford, to the show to talk about her book, Feel Better, and the need for more focus on mental health, especially for youth. Dr. Shahana points out that medicine is very focused on illness, on diagnosing disease and offering treatment, whereas mental health requires holding space for belonging, acceptance, and mattering. She and Dr. Laura explore what it takes to navigate emotions and thrive in life.The proceeds from Dr. Shahana's book sales go to support youth mental health agencies, and she drew on her own experiences with postpartum OCD and the reluctance she felt, as a physician, to seek professional help. Dr. Shahana and Dr. Laura explore the coping mechanisms we turn to and whether they're useful long-term, the benefits of being open about our emotional states, and the lessons in Feel Better. Dr. Shahana likens understanding others to envisioning an invisible chalkboard above them listing what's really going on in their lives, the parts we don't automatically see. This is a beautifully authentic conversation that sheds light on the reality of what emotional struggle is, how to cope with stress and anxiety, and how to prolong the joy we seek.“Does it come as a friend and leave as a friend, or does it come as a friend and leave as an enemy? … Vaping, substances, alcohol, the list goes on and on. Comes as a friend. Of course it works. It works oftentimes. Leaves as an enemy. It takes more from you than you want.” - Dr. Shahana AlibhaiAbout Dr. Shanana Alibhai:TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and powerhouse in the field of emotional health.

This episode addresses a terrifying but common experience for midlife women: the cognitive changes, or "brain fog," that pop up during perimenopause and menopause. Many women fear they are experiencing early-onset dementia.Host Dr. Rachel Pope speaks with Dr. Rita Shkullaku, a board-certified internist with a special interest in nutrition, obesity, and hormones as they relate to cognitive wellness and healthy aging.The Reality and Biology of Brain FogDr. Shkullaku confirms that brain fog—forgetfulness, concentration issues, and a blank mind—is very real. She notes that having "mild cognitive issues for eight to ten years has no small impact" on high-functioning women.The problem stems from both: Direct Effects: Estrogen drops affect the brain's ability to use the prefrontal cortex and manage stress. Indirect Effects: Severe sleep deprivation from night sweats and hot flashes dramatically worsens cognition.To distinguish serious issues from hormonal brain fog, Dr. Shkullaku uses the Self-Report vs. Intervention rule: women with typical brain fog are aware of their struggle, while those with true early dementia are often unaware and brought in by family.Practical Strategies and TreatmentManagement requires a holistic approach, starting with the foundation: Prioritize Sleep: Address the underlying hormonal issues or anxiety that keep you awake. Redistribute Responsibility: Normalize the struggle and ask partners/family for help to create time for self-care. Complex Cognitive Training: Pick up a new complex activity (like a new instrument or language) to engage the brain differently. Nutrition: Follow the MIND Diet (a hybrid of the Mediterranean and DASH diets).Treatment: If medically eligible, Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT) is a great option, primarily by eliminating sleep-disrupting symptoms. If not, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), mindfulness, and addressing reversible causes (like iron or B12 deficiencies) are crucial.

In this episode, Tina Tower dives into the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence (AI) and its impact on the course creation industry. Tina reflects on her early predictions about AI, how those have played out, and what has really changed in the last 12–24 months—especially when it comes to information accessibility and course value. She offers actionable insights on how to future-proof your business, leverage AI as a superpower, and why human connection and transformation remain at the heart of successful online programs. Resources: Join Her Empire Builder: https://www.herempirebuilder.com/join ChatGPT (for general AI tasks) CastMagic (podcasting support) Canva AI (AI-generated design & artwork) Delphi AI (Tina's AI-powered personal guide, launching soon) Replit, Lovable (tools for customizable learning paths) Key Topics Covered Current AI Landscape: ChatGPT has become the leading AI tool for many tasks. Other platforms used include Cast Magic for podcasting, Canva AI for design, and the soon-to-be-rolled-out Delphi AI for tailored support. AI's Impact on Course Creation: Information is cheaper and more accessible than ever. Traditional evergreen online courses without community or support are becoming obsolete (“the $2K course is dead”). Differentiators now include guided transformation, community, and genuine support. Future Trends in AI & Learning: Rise of AI-powered personalized learning paths (“choose your own adventure” style courses). Hyper-personalized feedback via coaching bots and simulated mentors (for example, Tina's Delphi AI project). Courses shifting focus from information delivery to actual transformation. The Ongoing Value of Human Connection: Emotional intelligence, lived experience, and real-time human interaction are irreplaceable. Personal stories, community, and live events will continue to be major value drivers. Even with AI answering questions, people crave and pay for real human support and engagement. Practical Strategies for Course Creators: Use AI to free up your time by automating backend and admin tasks. Invest more energy into coaching, community, and personalized connection with members. Stay updated, experiment with new AI tools, but don't rush into unproven platforms. Remember, AI enhances your business but does not replace the unique value you bring. AI is reshaping online learning, but it can't replace the power of human connection. The real opportunity is in blending AI efficiency with personal support and community, creating programs that deliver transformation—not just information.

Are your kids' fights setting off your emotions—and the whole house?Most parents try to “fix” kids' behavior to feel better. In this video, Greg & Rachel flip the script: change your emotional state first, and your family dynamics follow. You'll learn how to stop masking (“trying to stay calm”) and start being emotionally authentic—so you model regulation your kids can actually imitate.We unpack practical tools to raise your family's emotional thermostat—even on low-sleep, low-food days: breathing exercises, light movement, gratitude micro-meditations, future journaling, and morning routines that shift your biochemistry fast. You'll discover why sleep and nutrition are foundational, how to process triggers and “memorized emotions,” and how to radiate steadiness kids naturally copy.Big idea: Nothing gets better until you do. When you upgrade your inner state, parenting gets easier, marriage gets warmer, and home feels safe again. This is how you cultivate a family culture of peace, courage, and joy—without pretending or suppressing.Try this today (1-minute reset): Stand tall, inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 6 (x6 rounds). Add one gratitude sentence and smile on purpose. Notice the shift—then go connect.Key Takeaways✅ Nothing gets better until you do — when you raise your state, your family follows.✅ Kids imitate without regulation — they copy your energy, good or bad.✅ Trying to “stay calm” is masking — practice authentic emotional expression.✅ Sleep & food drive mood — protect your physiology to parent better.✅ Quick resets work — breathing, movement, posture, and gratitude change your state fast.✅ Every family has an emotional thermostat — set yours higher on purpose.✅ Mentor, don't micromanage — see misbehavior as a cry for help and coach skills.Memorable Quote:

Summary In this episode of the Ali Damron Show, Ali discusses the pervasive issue of anxiety, sharing her personal experiences and insights gained from working with patients over the years. She emphasizes that anxiety is not a character flaw but a learned brain pattern that can be unlearned through understanding and practical strategies. The conversation covers the science behind anxiety, the importance of emotional expression, and actionable steps to engage with life despite anxiety. Ali encourages listeners to practice self-compassion and to view anxiety as a protective mechanism rather than a debilitating condition. Takeaways Anxiety manifests differently for everyone, both physically and mentally. Understanding anxiety as a learned behavior can empower individuals to change their responses. Neuroplasticity allows us to unlearn anxiety and create new brain pathways. Labeling anxiety as a false alarm can help diffuse its power. Allowing feelings of anxiety without resistance is crucial for healing. Engaging in life despite anxiety is essential for personal growth. Emotional expression is key to processing underlying feelings that contribute to anxiety. Self-compassion is vital in the journey of overcoming anxiety. Avoidant behaviors reinforce anxiety; facing fears is necessary for progress. Practicing small steps towards facing anxiety can lead to significant changes.

In this episode of The Stellar Teacher Podcast, I dive into a critical topic for upper elementary classrooms: supporting multilingual learners (MLLs). With the help of experts Dr. Jana Echevarría and Dr. Jeannette Mancilla-Martinez, we explore why the term “multilingual learner” is replacing “English language learner,” how to challenge common misconceptions, and why it's so important to recognize the linguistic assets students bring to our classrooms. You'll gain a clear understanding of the difference between everyday language and academic language, and why focusing on both is essential for our students' success.We also tackle the myth that students need to fully master English before they can access grade-level content. I talk with Jana and Jeanette about research showing that, with intentional support and meaningful instruction, MLLs can engage with the same literacy and content skills as their peers. From understanding the role of academic language as a “gate opener” to strategies for integrating language objectives into everyday lessons, this episode is full of practical ideas you can bring right into your classroom.Finally, the conversation turns to actionable strategies teachers can implement immediately. From leveraging students' background experiences to integrating listening, speaking, reading, and writing into content lessons, Jana and Jeanette highlight simple yet powerful ways to support language development across disciplines. This episode is packed with guidance to help you feel confident, intentional, and empowered to meet the needs of multilingual learners—reminding us all that these students are learners just like everyone else.Join us in the Stellar Literacy Collective Membership: stellarteacher.com/join!Sign up for my FREE private podcast, the Confident Writer Systems Series, here!Sign up for my FREE Revision Made Easy email series here!Follow me on Instagram @thestellarteachercompany.
