David Sussillo is a neuroscientist, technologist, and author of Emergence: A Memoir of Boyhood, Computation, and the Mysteries of Mind. Kate first met David when they were classmates at the Milton Hershey School in Hershey, Pennsylvania. David has made a career at the cutting edge of neuroscience and technology, yet his path there was anything but a straight line. Born to drug-addicted parents in New Mexico, he navigated a childhood marked by violence and neglect. But a seed was planted at the unlikeliest of places—the local arcade. What follows is a remarkable journey of resilience and transformation, from the chaotic corridors of group homes to the halls of Columbia and Stanford. Along the way, Sussillo takes readers on an illuminating tour of the century-long dance between neuroscience, physics, and computation that has laid the groundwork for neural networks—the technology that drives modern artificial intelligence. As he advances in the field, working to demystify these networks, he also begins to pursue an answer to a more personal question: why, and how, did he succeed against all odds?

HELLO! And welcome back to the Pass Around the Smile podcast. This year, I am so focused on bringing you episodes which will have you feeling relaxed, optimistic, inspired and READY to live life to your fullest potential. I'm so excited just writing that! In this episode I share with you the ups and downs which January brought me. My new year card spread for January was so spot on. I pulled patience and perception - and boy did I need to practice patience and change my perception on certain situations, over and over! While January was chaotic, it was full of lessons, and I'm grateful that I can now share all of this with my community. I am positive that this episode will resonate in more ways than one. Something we all struggle with from time to time is having patience, not only in regards to our dreams manifesting, but with everyday life occurrences. How we react and perceive everything that is happening around us, becomes a direct reflection of what we experience.In this ep I chat about how our inner reality directly affects our outer reality and how you can use patience and perception to alter what you are experiencing. I also touch on confirmation bias. What it is and how the majority of the world experiences it! Are you looking for evidence to support your fears or limiting beliefs? It can be such a huge block when it comes to manifestation. If confirmation bias is taking over your subconscious mind, you aren't allowing yourself freedom, peace, love, happiness or success.Something I'm also passionate about, is not ‘waiting' or ‘depending' on something external to dictate your happiness. I hear a lot of, ‘I'll be happy when …. I'll feel relaxed when …' Why not allow yourself to feel these feelings now? Because you can. They are available to you. An exciting episode full of golden nuggets, I hope you love it! Please follow, subscribe, comment and join my community below!View my website here!

2 Corinthians 4, part of Paul's second epistle to the Corinthian church, is a profound exploration of the nature of Christian ministry and the resilience required in the face of adversity. This chapter delves into themes of integrity, suffering, and the eternal perspective that undergirds the apostle's ministry.The Nature of Christian Ministry (2 Corinthians 4:1-6)Paul begins by acknowledging the challenges in ministry but emphasizes perseverance, stating, “Therefore, since through God's mercy we have this ministry, we do not lose heart.” He disavows underhanded and manipulative methods, instead committing to the open proclamation of the truth. This approach to ministry is grounded in integrity and a clear conscience.A significant point in this section is the concept of the “god of this age” blinding the minds of unbelievers to prevent them from seeing the light of the gospel. Paul contrasts this with the illuminating power of the gospel, which reveals the glory of God in the face of Christ.Treasure in Jars of Clay (2 Corinthians 4:7-12)One of the most poignant metaphors in this chapter is the treasure in jars of clay. Paul compares the immense value and power of the gospel with the fragility and weakness of its human messengers. This contrast highlights that the extraordinary power of ministry comes from God and not from human strength. It underscores the paradox of the Christian experience – power manifested in weakness.Facing Adversity with Eternal Perspective (2 Corinthians 4:13-18)Paul then shifts focus to the trials and sufferings inherent in Christian ministry. He speaks of being “hard-pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.” These trials serve to reveal the life of Jesus in his body. Paul's perspective on suffering is not one of defeat but of resilience and hope.The chapter concludes with a powerful statement on the eternal perspective that motivates Paul's endurance. He contrasts the transient nature of momentary troubles with the eternal glory they achieve, urging believers to fix their eyes not on what is seen (the temporal), but on what is unseen (the eternal).Contemporary Relevance: Endurance and Hope in TrialsFor modern readers, 2 Corinthians 4 is a source of encouragement and perspective. It offers insight into handling trials in ministry and personal life, emphasizing integrity, dependence on God's power, and the importance of an eternal perspective. The chapter is a potent reminder that suffering and adversity, though challenging, can refine faith and deepen reliance on God.Conclusion: The Resilient Ministry2 Corinthians 4 is an intimate look into Paul's heart and mind, revealing his unwavering commitment to the Gospel despite significant challenges. It encourages believers to view their struggles through the lens of the Gospel – as opportunities to demonstrate the life and power of Jesus. This chapter continues to inspire resilience, hope, and faithfulness in the Christian journey.

Motherhood is a time when you reach for friends with kids so you can complain, compare and question what's "normal." These friendships can be a big help, but sometimes parenthood is all you have in common. Helena talks about how George Floyd's murder highlighted the differences between the mothers, as she learned who she could trust as a Black mom. The need to talk about race. Our guests say that parents of every race need to talk to their kids about the role of race in society. But talking isn't enough: You have to put your values into action. Your kids notice what you do and who your friends are.The need to build resilient kids. It's important to help your kids learn how to express and cope with their emotions. You can't protect your kids from every bad thing — including racism or more general bullying — but you can build their confidence and resiliency.Can't get enough?Purchase the Mayo Clinic Press book "Mayo Clinic Guide to Raising a Healthy Child."Purchase Helena's book "The Mamas: What I Learned about Kids, Race, and Class from Moms Not Like Me."From Bookshop.orgFrom AmazonFrom Barnes & Noble Want to read more on the topic?

In this episode, I will talk about doing what you've planned to do, even when you don't want to. We've all been in situations where we prepared for something, a chore, or a project, and we're unable to find the energy to follow through. Sometimes finding the strength to get things started is the hard part. It's all about mindset. Which segues perfectly to what I'm about to present to you guys: honoring ourselves, the fourth pillar in the five pillars of balance. Honoring yourself will give you the confidence and belief in following through with your plans and bring you balance. Key Points: Setting your priorities and knowing what's important will give you peace and clarity, making following through with your plans easier. After establishing the confidence and the momentum to keep going, things will fall in their places. Most of the time, the reason why we're unable to follow through is fear and doubt. To overcome the hump, we have to present and honor the plans and commitment we've set for ourselves.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ Linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about the third of five pillars of the foundation of balance: Emotional Adulthood. Full disclaimer: Some might be resistant to this topic; I recommend keeping an open mind. Approaching the topic with an open mind might be the thing that can make a significant shift in your life. Now, back to the subject. Emotional adulthood is similar to emotional maturity or emotional intelligence kind-of.  It addresses a specific part of emotional maturity that doesn't normally get addressed. It's the part where we legitimately take full responsibility for our emotions and use that responsibility to serve our highest thoughts and desires. Join me in this episode of Balanced and Free Mom Boss as we dive into the subject of emotional adulthood and learn ways to control our emotions better to attain the balance and clarity we need.  Key points: Emotional adulthood is outgrowing the default immature emotional bubble and taking full responsibility for all our feelings, no matter what someone else does or doesn't do. When you're in an emotionally adult space, you will be more empowered to be the person you want to be and be in control of your life and its direction. Taking responsibility for how you feel, making choices on what you want to feel, and not blaming others or other things is an indication that you're an emotional adult. Our thinking is what creates emotional maturity or immaturity. It is where all the power and responsibility lie for our personal experiences and create what we truly want.  Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ Linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about holiday stress and being overwhelmed during these times. Since the holidays are fast approaching and it's kind of my jam, I wanted my experience on how to alleviate stress and prevent getting overwhelmed during these times.   Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as I share tips on how to make the holidays more enjoyable and meaningful without stressing over it.   Key Points: Manage your mind and expectations. Pay attention to what you're thinking when you begin to feel overwhelmed, anxious, or stressed about things. Make an effort to let go of the things that you can't control and focus more on the things you can. Know what is important to you. Be aware of what's important and manage priorities. If you know what's important it will be easier to plan ahead, set your priorities in order, and say ‘no' to less important things. Let go of people-pleasing, it's one of the biggest reasons why we're doing things in the holidays that we're not keen on doing. It's okay to politely decline an invitation if you really don't want to go. People-pleasing on the holidays will not do us any favor. Allow people to have their holiday experience and allow yourself to have yours. Bake goodies, share gifts, give service, because you want to do it. It's all about being intentional and liking what you do. Do it because that is how you want to enjoy your holiday.  Decide ahead of time. This will significantly cut back on mental and emotional stress. Having a plan on what to do or not do, who to see or not see, which events to participate in will help alleviate all that holiday stress. The less you spend thinking about stuff like these the more it'll make the holidays meaningful and enjoyable.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/ 

In this episode, I will talk about anxiousness and the things that drive it. Have you always felt that feeling of always wanting to do more? That your efforts aren't enough? While it is not always a welcome feeling, anxiousness is completely normal, and when managed correctly it can help us focus in the right direction. Although the things I've discussed in this episode can help get you through these conditions, please do not mistake the feeling of anxiousness for anxiety. While the initial feelings of anxiety and anxiousness can be the same, those who struggle with anxiety disorders will tend to be anxious constantly. It's always best to seek professional help if you're constantly experiencing anxiety episodes.   Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for a meaningful discussion about anxiety and the feeling of needing to do more. Having that constant feeling of anxiousness is completely normal.    Key Points: It's absolutely normal to be anxious and have thoughts that we're not enough, that we need to do more. We are not at the mercy of your circumstances. We have the capacity to control which thoughts to entertain or not so we can focus on the things that really matter to us.Anxiousness is basically our primitive brain kicking in. It is just our brain trying to solve a problem that isn't a problem. Be open to the possibility that it is being driven by fears that aren't really a problem to be fearful of. We are not our thoughts. It doesn't define us. They don't make us good or bad. We just need to pay attention, be aware, and not indulge in thoughts that are not serving us on who we want to be.    Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/ 

In this episode, I will talk about perfectionism and why it is not always necessarily a good thing. Essentially perfectionism is a sign that we're afraid to mess up or be rejected. Without awareness, perfectionism could impact our ability to create and maintain balance. Paying too much attention to getting things right often gives us tunnel vision. We focus too much on getting things done the way we wanted that we tend to shut ourselves out from the people and things that are around us. Perfectionists tend to over-plan, doubt, and worry about things that are not even created yet. This can throw our mental and emotional balance off. That said, wanting good results and the desire to be good at something is perfectly normal. We just need a conscious effort to keep our perfectionist tendencies in check.   Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss for an insightful chat about perfectionism and failure and how it can affect our mental and emotional balance.   Key Points:   Perfection is not a realistic standard.  And, forcing that standard on ourselves can take a toll on our mental and emotional balance.   Perfectionism is essentially a fear of failure and rejection. Sometimes we just have to let go and roll with the punches and allow ourselves to be human.   Failure and rejection are only opinions. It can only hurt us if we frame it into something hurtful. Think about famous inventors, they look at failure as data or feedback on getting closer to their goals.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/   

In this episode, I will talk about people-pleasing and how it can upset our balance. That's not to say that we shouldn't do nice things and please people. This simply means that we just have to be sincere in our intentions and we should be aware of the reasons and beliefs on why we do what we do. We help someone because that is who we truly are. We give out compliments because we wanted to brighten someone's day. We should avoid doing good deeds as a pre-emptive action into getting something that we want in return.   Join me in this episode for a discussion on how people-pleasing, when misused can be detrimental to our balance. And, when done with the insincere intentions, can conceal our true selves and create a cycle of misunderstanding, confusion, and frustration.    Key Points: If you're trying to please everyone, you're pleasing no one. To put it simply, people-pleasing is just emotional manipulation with the best of intentions.  Saying "no" isn't always a bad thing. You can be a kind and thoughtful person and still say "no". Just have to be honest when saying "yes" or "no". Sincerely saying "no" is a sign of maturity in your relationship. When saying "no" you don't owe someone an explanation. Self-honesty is key in knowing who to say yes or no to. In the long run, authenticity will make you happier and benefit you more than trying to please everyone.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching: https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/

In this episode, I will talk about when things go wrong. 2020 has been a crazy year, we have had gone through fires, floods, political unrests, riots, recession, pandemic, and a lot more. It's has been a challenging year for most of us. I wanted to be clear that it's perfectly normal to have negative emotions during these strange times. We're all doing the best we can with what we have. We are all in this together. This is what this episode is for. Join me in this episode of the Balanced and Free Mom Boss as we talk about patience, resilience, and self-control as we try and get through these rough times and how to minimize its effect on us and the people around us.   Key points: Most of the time the negative outbursts come from unintentionally resisting our current reality and the negative emotions that we're having. Awareness and acceptance can help minimize this.Life will always have it's negative and positive. To get more consistent, controlled results. The goal is to balance things a bit more.  Taking responsibility for your emotions and allow and process on the thoughts surrounding them is the very first step in being in control of your actions and results. Realize that every mistake, challenge, or trial we're in, it's always an opportunity to grow.   Connect with Me: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/balancedandfreemomboss/ linktr.ee: https://linktr.ee/balancedandfreemomboss Website: https://brittanydowcoaching.com/ Coaching:  https://balanced-and-free-mom-boss---brittany-dow-coaching.mykajabi.com/
