This was the first email response SHLTMM received from Karina stating, "my mom and I have always been really close. She has always been super supportive of me wanting to pursue music. She always knew along with her late father that I would grow up to be musical because as a baby I would hum and sing songs before I was able to speak. I've been really blessed with great parents who both attend nearly every one of my performances since I first started performing. I'm very lucky to have a very supportive and close family."If truly was effortless speaking with Norma and Karina. Norma shared stories of her mother and father, both Armenian and both very present in her life, especially before and after Karina was born. As I mentioned earlier, Karina was a preemie baby and Norma was bed ridden in the hospital for a number of weeks before her daughter was born. Norma's mother , Karina's grandmother instilled confidence in her daughter and helped her stay strong during the tough times. Again, the pediatric doctor's told Norma that her baby may not make it to certain milestones, yet Norma was confident because of her mother's endless support and wisdom. MANHATTAN SCHOOL OF MUSIC:https://www.msmnyc.edu/livestream/vartanian-2025/CLASSIC LYRICS ARTS:https://www.classiclyricarts.org/karina-vartanian-berkshiresRecent PerformancesBIO:KARINA VARTANIAN is a recent graduate of the Manhattan School of Music, where she earned her Bachelor of Music and received the Josephine C.

Hey friend, this is a quieter episode. A real conversation, leader to leader. As the holidays slow things down for many people, leaders are often still carrying decisions, responsibility, and emotional weight in the background. Today, I wanted to pause and name that — and remind you what resilient leadership really looks like in seasons like this. “The quiet weight leaders carry isn't a flaw. It's responsibility.” ~Tami Imlay Want to Go Deeper? If you're ready to head into the new year with more clarity and less weight, you can book a Leadership Strategy Call to talk through what you're carrying and what needs to shift.

Send me a messageWhat if sustainability didn't rely on good intentions, ESG reports, or awareness campaigns… but on incentives that actually change behaviour?In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I'm joined by Sunny Lu, Founder and CEO of VeChain, to unpack how blockchain can move sustainability from theory into action across global supply chains and everyday decisions.Sunny has been building in blockchain since 2015, long before the hype cycles, starting with enterprise traceability work at Louis Vuitton and going on to create VeChain as a platform focused on real-world adoption. At a time when supply chains are under pressure to deliver resilience, transparency, and credible sustainability outcomes, this conversation gets very practical, very quickly.You'll hear how VeChain uses verified data, tokens, and gamification to incentivise positive actions, from EV charging and reusable cups to food traceability and waste reduction. We break down why demand, not technology, is often the real bottleneck holding sustainable supply chains back, and how aligning individuals, enterprises, and incentives can unlock scale. You might be surprised to learn how blockchain has already helped cut food traceability times from hours to seconds, or how millions of small, verified actions can add up to meaningful carbon, water, and plastic reductions.This isn't a conversation about crypto speculation. It's about trust, data, visibility, and designing systems that make the right choice the easy, economically rational one.

Listen as host Amy Rodquist-Kodet, Health Coach with UK HR Health and Wellness, shares simple, research-backed practices to help steady your mood during the dark Winter months. Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD) impacts millions each year, but small actions—light exposure, gentle movement and self-compassion—can make a meaningful difference. Amy says, “These practices aren't about fixing everything at once; they're about shifting your internal weather by a few degrees, building resilience over time.”Key Points:• Light: Morning light exposure is a powerful cue for your circadian rhythm. Even a short burst of brightness—like turning toward a window or a bright lamp—can support a more positive circadian rhythm.• Movement: Just 10 minutes of low-intensity movement can increase BDNF, a brain chemical tied to emotional stability and resilience. Think of gentle movements like rolling your shoulders or shifting in your seat.• Self-Compassion: Brief moments of self-kindness reduce stress and regulate the nervous system. Pairing a small action with a compassionate phrase—such as “I deserve steadiness and kindness”—makes the practice more powerful and sustainable.

Join us as we hear about Resilient Valley and the work, they are doing to increase giving from DAF's throughout Western MA. Lora Wondolowski, Director of Advancement and Communications at Peace Development Fund and City Council President of Greenfield, MA. and Kim Snyder, Director of Development and Communications at Hitchcock Center for the Environment talk us through why now matters more than ever to free up funding for local nonprofits. Peace Development Fund helps to support small to midsized nonprofits as they navigate how to stand on their own. Through fiscal support and creating Donor Advised Fund's for donors they work out of Amherst on an international scale. Hitchcock Center is one of 23 living buildings in the world and has been in existence for over 60 years. They help us connect with nature and the environment creating pathways for younger generations to become climate warriors. The Resilient Valley Coalition is a growing group of over a dozen nonprofits focused on climate, food systems, and environmental justice. Together they have faced over 3 million in funding loss in 2025. The Match My DAF Campaign has a goal to raise 250,000 in matching funds to motivate donors to increase their giving through their DAF's. If DAF holders commit to giving away 10% more by May 2026, then their grants will be matched dollar for dollar. Let's show up for them. Happy Holidays everyone.

As 2025 comes to a close, Dr. Michelle Robin and Bayleigh reflect on a year of unexpected growth, personal challenges, and powerful lessons. From navigating health surprises to learning the difference between rest and true recharging, they explore how reflection and mindful self-care can transform stress into clarity. Discover which wellness quadrants shaped their year, the practices that fueled their resilience, and how to enter 2026 with intention, energy, and purpose. A heartfelt, insightful conversation that reminds us: every challenge holds a lesson, and every moment is an opportunity to grow.  Key Takeaways:   Growth often comes from unexpected moments that challenge you to shift your perspective.  Slowdowns can become powerful reminders to protect your time, energy, and well-being.  Each wellness quadrant offers a unique lesson, often revealing insights you didn't know you needed.  Resting and recharging are different, and knowing the difference helps you care for yourself more intentionally.  Self-care requires commitment, boundaries, and choosing what truly supports your mind, body, and spirit.  Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at:  https://smallchangesbigshifts.com  hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com  https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts  https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts  https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco  Thanks for listening!  Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Seed Chat with Bill McDormanGreg Peterson and seed expert Bill McDorman dig into the urgent need for climate-resilient seeds as global conditions shift. They explore how traditional varieties falter under heat, drought, flooding, and unpredictable weather—and why locally adapted, open-pollinated seeds are becoming essential tools for regional food security. Bill outlines practical pathways for gardeners and growers to build resilience through diversity, landrace gardening, and modern microbiome research. Together they offer a grounded, hopeful roadmap for anyone looking to future-proof their garden or local food system.Key TopicsClimate-resilient seedsOpen-pollinated varietiesLocal adaptationLandrace gardeningSoil microbiome & mycorrhizaeRizophagy (Dr. James White, Rutgers)Elliot ColemanJohn JeavonsAl Gore COP30 climate updateHeritage grains & wheat diversitySeed libraries & seed exchangesNational seed infrastructure concernsJoseph Lofthouse & Going to SeedGenetic diversity & heterosisKey Questions AnsweredWhy do traditional seed varieties fail under climate chaos?Because they were bred for stable, narrow climate ranges with controlled inputs—conditions that no longer exist. Locally adapted seeds handle stress better and evolve alongside changing weather patterns.How can home gardeners contribute to climate adaptation?By introducing maximum genetic diversity into their gardens—mixing varieties, saving seeds, and participating in regional seed exchanges. This creates plant populations that actively adapt to local conditions.What is landrace gardening and why does it matter now?Landrace gardening mixes many varieties of the same crop and lets natural selection reveal the most resilient performers. It dramatically increases adaptability and requires less space and time than traditional trialing.How do soil organisms like mycorrhizae and bacteria affect climate resilience?They increase nutrient uptake, boost disease resistance, and help plants tolerate extreme conditions. Emerging rizophagy research shows plants actively cultivate microbes to meet stress.What resources should new growers explore to build resilience?Classics like The New Organic Grower (Elliot Coleman), How to Grow More Vegetables (John Jeavons), Joseph Lofthouse's Landrace Gardening, and foundational seed-saving guides.Episode HighlightsClimate resilience requires local action, not waiting for national agricultural reform.Al Gore's COP30 update emphasizes the urgency of transitioning agriculture.Soil microbiology breakthroughs (rizophagy) are reshaping how we understand plant roots.Most commercial varieties were never tested across wide climates—huge opportunity remains.Wheat alone has 400,000 documented varieties, yet only a handful dominate U.S. production.Diversity—not uniformity—is the foundation of resilience.Landrace gardening allows growers to trial hundreds of varieties in small spaces.Seed sharing and regional networks may become essential if national systems weaken.Calls to Action & ResourcesSeed Chat Live — SeedChat.orgGoing to Seed...

Designing Resilient Homes for a New Climate Reality (Case Study House 2.0)In this episode of the EntreArchitect Podcast, we explore designing resilient homes for a new climate reality with architects Harper Halprin and Aaron Leshtz of AAHA Studio. They share the story behind their Case Study 2.0 project, a modern reimagining of the iconic Case Study House Program built for an era marked by wildfire risk and climate urgency. As they explain, this initiative grew from both professional experience and personal encounters with fire-damaged communities in Southern California.Harper and Aaron walk through the origins of AAHA Studio, their early careers in New York, and the creative influences that shaped their approach to architecture. They describe how Crest Real Estate enlisted them to develop a catalog of fire-resilient prototype homes with predictable fees and targeted construction budgets. Their courtyard-based design responds to real burn-site conditions, strengthens defensible space, and supports indoor–outdoor living while keeping residents safer. Through each step, they emphasize that design is about more than aesthetics; it is about how a building performs, protects, and supports the people who live in it.The conversation also highlights the vital leadership role architects play after disasters. Harper and Aaron share how the architectural community mobilized through roundtables, AIA coordination, and shared resources to help neighborhoods rebuild. They close with practical encouragement for small firm architects: stay curious, keep learning, be open to opportunity, and always lead with service. This episode offers a timely reminder that resilient design isn't just a trend—it's a responsibility.This week at EntreArchitect Podcast, Designing Resilient Homes for a New Climate Reality (Case Study House 2.0) with Harper Halprin and Aaron Leshtz.Learn more about Harper and Aaron at AAHA Studio, check out Case Study 2.0, follow them on Instagram, and connect with Harper and Aaron on LinkedIn.Please Visit Our Platform SponsorsArcatemy is Arcat's Continuing Education Program.

Roberto and Brett dive into the crucial role of authenticity in digital marketing for small businesses in today's AI-driven world. They highlight that, as people crave real connections, businesses need to step away from scripted content and embrace genuine interactions, like sharing casual videos of their daily lives. Roberto shares a success story of a friend who skyrocketed his SEO business's followership simply by walking his dog while dishing out tips in a relatable way. The duo emphasizes that it's not about competing with AI but rather leveraging it effectively to enhance human touchpoints and create engaging content. Ultimately, they stress that finding your tribe comes from breaking through the noise with authenticity—so grab your phone and start filming that kitchen chat, because that's where the magic happens!Takeaways: In today's AI-driven world, authenticity in business relationships is super key for success. Engaging video content, even just casual chats, can massively boost a brand's visibility and connection. Small businesses must leverage tools like generative AI to enhance their marketing efforts effectively. The competition isn't just AI; it's about how businesses use AI creatively to connect with customers. Understanding your audience's pain points is vital for creating impactful marketing strategies and content. Utilizing user-generated content can free up time for business owners while enhancing brand credibility.

In this episode, I explore what it really means to build resilient happiness in a world that constantly overstimulates our nervous system and pulls on our attention. I talk about the quirky mix of human animal and eternal soul, and how our instincts, brain chemistry, and modern capitalism can team up to keep us stuck in emotional numbing, low level discontent, and addictive chemistry hits. I share how our emotional set point can narrow over time, so we end up stewing in familiar feelings like frustration, helplessness, or mild depression instead of allowing deeper emotions, like grief, to move through. I look at how a chronically activated fight or flight response, combined with endless opportunities for distraction and quick dopamine, makes it hard to register the quieter, sustainable forms of happiness. I also talk about miswanting and hedonistic adaptation, and why chasing big spikes of chemistry through intense relationships, major purchases, or peak experiences is not a reliable path to feeling well in everyday life. From a shamanic and practical perspective, I offer ideas for: Calming your nervous system and lowering your fight or flight baseline Noticing where you are numbing out instead of feeling what is actually present Letting emotions move through so your emotional matrix is not gummed up Recognizing when you are chasing extreme chemistry instead of true fulfillment Diversifying your sources of happiness so your well being is not tied to one thing Stacking small, attainable joys into a stable foundation of contentment My intention is to help you understand your design with more compassion, so you can partner with both your human animal and your soul. When you address emotional numbing and nervous system overload first, it becomes much easier to feel and trust the subtle, authentic happiness that is already available in your life.
