      In S4 E50 I am delighted to welcome Dr Jonathan Fisher MD FACC to the podcast. I can't think of a more apt guest to celebrate half a century of episodes. Dr Fisher is a Harvard-trained clinical cardiologist, mindfulness meditation teacher, and organizational well-being and resiliency leader at Novant Health for a team of 38,000. He has delivered keynotes and workshops on heartful leadership, stress mastery, and total well-being for teams and organizations globally including IBM, Bank of America, IE Business School, The American College of Lifestyle Medicine, along with universities and healthcare organizations. In 2020 he co-founded the Ending Physician Burnout Global Community and organized the world's first global summit dedicated to ending physician burnout, with over a thousand participants from 43 countries. His first book “Just One Heart” on the ancient art and modern science of mind heart connection is due out Fall 2023.   Dr. Jonathan Fisher's personal mission is to help others train the mind and heal the heart.  This strong mission and purpose is palpable up close and Dr Fisher is truly a clinician and executive leader walking the talk.       In this conversation we discuss his own unique story of medicine and life which has led him here to today, invested in the work of helping colleague and patients to improve their holistic wellbeing and assisting teams and organizations to reach for optimal performance. Many central podcast themes are revisited through our conversation.       Jonathan describes his journey gaining over a decade of learning and practice of mindfulness meditation to his present truly practical application of ancient wisdom and modern science as a mindful leader and healer .  We discuss how we might seek to integrate the delivery of individual self-care, compassion and other performance tools with addressing broader systemic and cultural problems facing healthcare organizations. As a growing number of clinical physician executives combining front line clinical practice with executive leadership and management roles, I am curious to hear about his practical day to day work and the other skills and learning he has acquired and gained to date.    Jonathan gives us a teaser for his upcoming, and now for me much anticipated, book "Just One Heart" due for release later in the year.  Finally this episode ends on a thoroughly grounding and simultaneously uplifting note as Dr Fisher treats me to his guided self-care reset ( Breathing, Embody, Smile, Thanks, Love, Intention, Flex, Envision).  References/Links:https://www.drjonathanfisher.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/happyheartmd/Ending Physician Burnout Global Community https://endingphysicianburnout.comBattling Healthcare Burnout Thom Mayer https://www.penguin.com.au/books/battling-healthcare-burnout-9781523089918Mayo clinic Strategies to Reduce Burnout 12 Actions to create the Ideal Workplace Stephen Swenson, Tait Shanafelt https://academic.oup.com/book/36545Vivek H Murthy M The Mind Full Medic Podcast is proudly sponsored by the MBANSW Find out more about their service or donate today at www.mbansw.org.auDisclaimer: The content in this podcast is not intended to constitute or be a substitute for professional medical advice, diagnosis or treatment.

Happy New Year! What is your New Years' resolution? You don't have one? We don't either! Join us as we embrace our inner-Goblins for 2023. Goblin Mode is defined as a "type of behavior which is unapologetically self-indulgent, lazy, slovenly, or greedy, typically in a way that rejects social norms or expectations." This was Oxford's word of the year for 2022 and we feel seen. After 2+ years of enduring through a global pandemic with heightened political tension and a climate in crisis , we're tired. And we're tired of being women who don't seem to be tired. Let's not set huge expectations for ourselves at the start of this new year if we don't want to. Let's just show up, as we are. This is Goblin mode. Three key takeaways from this episode: According to Oxford, Goblin Mode was chosen because it reflects the mood of the past 12 months. We were thrilled to learn we are not the only ones. Just show up. It doesn't necessarily matter how you show up, just show up. Being authentic and not pretending to be something you're not gives others permission to do the same. Let's be Goblins together.   References & Links mentioned in the show: https://www.npr.org/2022/12/05/1140696560/oxford-word-2022-goblin-mode https://www.washingtonpost.com/lifestyle/2022/12/06/goblin-mode-meaning-oxford/ To schedule a free initial consultation click here to find a time in our calendar!

A large part of the economy is the labor market. Not only is it, along with capital, the standard input in simple production functions, it is also a whole beast of it's own. Just like capital is not just capital, likewise labor is also heterogenous and have unique and important issues relating to matching jobs with skills and people and time; this is what economist call search frictions. In today's episode we discuss the 2010 prize awarded to Peter A. Diamond, Dale T. Mortensen and Christopher A. Pissarides "for their analysis of markets with search frictions". We might also offer up some dating advice based on the insights. In season 1 (Danish) we reviewed the history of economic thought before WWII. The coming seasons are dedicated to the Nobel Prize in Economics, and I am joined by economist Otto Brøns-Petersen. The Nobel prize is a good benchmark for how the field and profession of economics developed after WWII. We will focus both on the scientific contributions and on the people behind them. These are all star economists and worthy of your time and attention. Some will mainly feature in one episode, others in several. We therefore advice that you listen in the thematic order we propose – but it is up to you. Rest assured, we will cover all… Eventually.References:Links to Nobel lectures and banquet speeches:https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/economic-sciences/2010/diamond/lecture/https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/economic-sciences/2010/mortensen/facts/https://www.nobelprize.org/prizes/economic-sciences/2010/pissarides/facts/Berlingske article on datinghttps://www.berlingske.dk/aok/oekonomisk-teori-kan-udpege-de-faldgruber-singler-boer-undgaa-og-forklareCBS Podcast: The economics of lovehttps://cbswire.dk/the-economics-of-love/ "Job Creation and Job Destruction in the Theory of Unemployment" (with Dale Mortensen), published in the Review of Economic Studies in 1994.[15] D.

Why do I want an air-fryer so badly? And why won't my aging loved one ask for help when they need it? How can these things possibly be connected? And maybe most importantly, why are we talking about this on a podcast? At least once or twice a week we talk to someone who made a promise to a loved one that they can't keep. “I promised my dad I would never put him in a home,” for example. They had the best of intentions to keep their promise, but they didn't have all of the facts before making a commitment like that. Aside from legitimate constraints, like finances, that may make keeping promises like that impossible, home may not actually be what your loved one wants. In many circumstances people are not thriving at home and that is not what they are clinging to, instead it's the feeling of comfort and safety that being home represents for them. And change is hard at any age. In this episode, Alyson and Michelle discuss ways to successfully get your loved one's buy in to participate in planning for their safety in the future. Three key takeaways from this episode: We are all in a developmental phase, the purpose for which is a search for independence, control and meaning. Our aging loved ones are no exception. Air fryers are cool. The best way to get our loved one's buy in is to listen to them and make sure they feel that they are being heard. Even if their expectations are unrealistic, success really comes best from understanding exactly what they envision as possible for themselves.   References & Links mentioned in the show: Gene Cohen, a student of psychoanalyst Erik Erikson, states that we are all endowed with an Inner Push that urges us on with our development at every age. Throughout their lives, people are always at some level in the development of their intelligence. (Cohen, G. D. (2005). The mature mind: The positive power of the aging brain. Basic Books.) David Solie, in Unlocking the Communication Code of Seniors, states that developmental stages in life are characterized by sets of oppositional tasks that need to be completed so the individual can move on to the next stage. These tasks are the drivers of personality growth, the internal engine that propels a person forward. These stages and their tasks are well documented in children and teenagers. Their identification and impact on the development in old age has only recently been understood. When we fail to recognize the need to maintain control and identify legacy, Solie states, "Good advice may be rejected in favor of illogical or shortsighted choices because from a developmental perspective the need for control is greater than the need for medical, financial, or social correctness."

In this episode of The Conscious Diva, my guest Akashic Records practitioner Rohini Moradi Sweeny and I talk about so much - from the Akashic records to growing up in a Hare Krishna Ashram to how the tools of her Bhakti yoga upbringing came into their own when her baby daughter passed away from SIDS. This profound loss brought her back to her connection to Spirit and a remembrance awakened Rohini to her ability to access the Akashic records for healing, leading her to teacher people to do the same. Today, Rohini is internationally recognized as a teacher of the Akasha and spiritual explorer. Through her revolutionary approach to empowering spiritually curious individuals, Rohini guides her community through a wondrous journey inward so they can experience the awe of a limitless reality. WE DISCUSS IN DETAIL: Growing up in a Hare Krishna community Rohini learned the lifelong tools of Bhakti. Her days were filled with meditation, chanting, yoga, and cleansing the body in an effort to grow as a spiritual being. She shares how she became anchored in the magic of life, rather than the fear of external circumstances despite the political turmoil caused by the Iran-Iraq war and the simultaneous Muslim revolution. Rohini remembers living in a state of joy and playfulness, even as bombs fell outside her father's temple. Rohini shares how she tried ignoring her spiritual gifts, only later having the profound experience and loss of her baby daughter leading to the discovery of the Akash and her life's purpose. Learning to trust. How this evolved from her lifelong practice. Magic really exists and that when we learn to trust so much in our lives can open up. ABOUT ROHINI: Rohini Moradi was born into a spiritually-driven life in Tehran, Iran where her father ran the only Hindu temple in the city during the Muslim revolution. During her childhood, her family traveled throughout India, devoted to a colorful yogic life. In early 1989, a massive religious-military upheaval in Iran altered her life path. Her father's temple was seized, and her family fled to the United States as refugees. This uprooting caused a massive personal shift in Rohini's reality. Where her life used to center on personal growth, Rohini's transition to America caused a massive personal shift from a spiritually-oriented existence to a material-oriented one. Read more about Rohini's fascinating transformation process, and learn what Rohini offers on her website listed below.

Where are my late 80's & early 90’s babies? I had the pleasure of interviewing Vanessa Baden Kelly. She formerly played in some of our favorite 90’s children TV Shows such as Kenan & Kel and Gullah Gullah Island on Nickelodeon. Vanessa currently plays the character Journee who battles bipolar disorder on Giants which is executive produced by FOX’s Empire Jussie Smollett. You can see Giants, it premieres on Wednesday, February 21st on Issa Rae’s YouTube Channel.
