Sigi (Yes, like the yogurt...) is a bicoastal and bilingual Swiss-Israeli-American triple citizen. (Did you follow?) You almost saw her on Unprisoned, This Is Us, Henry Danger, and Jessie, but those roles ended up on the cutting room floor. You can, however, still catch her on Call Your Mother, Girl Meets World, The Middle, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, and the hit Apple+ series Lessons in Chemistry. Sigi has created lots of digital content and won Best Actress for her film Optimistic Realist at the Portland Comedy Film Festival for playing an aspiring actress slash Hebrew school teacher. It was a real stretch. Sigi is a member of Theatre of NOTE and has performed on stages all over LA. Favorite critically-acclaimed productions include The Diary of Anne Frank (Best Leading Actress), Bad Jews, The Immigrant, and Askance (Outstanding Understudy in a Drama). Aside from making people laugh, Sigi can often be seen carrying seven beverages at once and an overpriced diaper bag that conveniently has no beverage holders.On this episode of Mommywood, Sigi shares her experience navigating the complexities of motherhood, from the transition of having one child to two, to the challenges of balancing personal identity with parenting. We discuss the emotional and physical aspects of pregnancy, the dynamics between siblings, and the societal pressures surrounding maternal instinct. The conversation also touches on the realities of being a working mom in the creative industry, the importance of support systems, and the joy found in small moments with children. Ultimately, we emphasize the value of connection, creativity, and the unique journey of motherhood.00:00 The Journey of Motherhood Begins02:49 Navigating the Transition from One to Two05:53 Sibling Dynamics and Playtime08:51 Pregnancy Experiences: The Same Yet Different11:26 The Myth of Maternal Instinct14:28 Balancing Identity: Mom, Actor, and Comedian17:15 The Decision to Start a Family20:10 The Reality of Working Moms22:59 The Challenges of Returning to Work26:01 Finding Joy in the Chaos29:02 The Role of Support Systems31:53 The Impact of Pets on Family Life34:35 Creative Pursuits Amidst Motherhood37:18 Advice for Aspiring Actor Moms40:29 Finding Balance and Fulfillment43:16 The Importance of Connection and Joy

The Brainy Business | Understanding the Psychology of Why People Buy | Behavioral Economics
In this episode of The Brainy Business podcast, host Melina Palmer interviews Sigi Hale who delves into the fascinating world of neurodiversity and its impact on decision-making in the field of market research. By understanding the diverse brain types and their unique strengths, businesses can optimize their decision-making processes and improve their marketing strategies. Dr. Hale emphasizes the importance of self-reflection, recognizing our natural tendencies, and leveraging different decision-making systems based on the situation. This episode provides valuable insights for market researchers and business professionals who strive to enhance their decision-making abilities and achieve better results. By embracing neurodiversity and aligning roles and tasks with individuals' brain types, organizations can harness the full potential of their teams and optimize team performance. With Sigi's expertise in neuroscience and decision-making, coupled with Melina's enthusiasm for understanding the brain, this discussion offers thought-provoking insights that can revolutionize the way businesses approach decision-making. In this episode: Discover how to optimize personal cognitive abilities for successful market research with a focus on neurodiversity and decision-making. Learn to leverage strengths of ADHD as a variation in brain state orientation to elevate productivity. Understand the link between distinct decision-making styles and their influence on consumer behavior. Realize the pivotal role context plays in decision-making and how to craft tailored marketing strategies accordingly. Recognize different brain types within your team and learn how to accommodate these for optimized team performance. Show Notes: 00:00:00 - Introduction, Melina introduces Dr. Sigi Hale and mentions that the conversation will cover topics related to neurodiversity and ADHD. 00:01:46 - Dr. Sigi Hale's Background, Sigi shares his background and transition from academia to the private sector. He explains how he started consulting and eventually joined Alpha Diver, a market research company focusing on understanding consumer behavior. 00:08:12 - ADHD and Neurodiversity, Sigi discusses how the brain works as a multifunctional building block relational system. He explains that ADHD is not a deficit, but a variation in how brain systems are orchestrated. He mentions the benefits of ADHD brain states and their association with specific cognitive abilities. 00:13:10 - Sports Analogy, Sigi uses a sports analogy to further explain the different brain states and abilities associated with ADHD. He compares task-focused behavior to offense in sports and sensory immersive behavior to defense. 00:14:17 - Impact of Color on Physiology, Sigi briefly discusses the impact of color on physiological arousal and preferences. He mentions that asking someone why they like a certain color may not elicit a clear answer due to the physiological factors at play. 00:15:25 - Understanding Different Systems of Knowledge, The brain has different systems of knowledge: episodic knowledge, semantic knowledge, and rational thought. These systems function in parallel and influence decision-making. The ADHD brain is more inclined towards instinctual and personal experience processes, which can lead to creative and flexible thinking. 00:16:53 - Mapping the World onto Personal Experience, Making decisions based on personal experience and episodic memory allows us to familiarize the world and empathize with others. This process also enhances sensory immersion and can lead to self-transcendent and empathetic experiences. ADHD adults are more likely to engage in this type of processing. 00:18:55 - Shifting Brain States and Neurodiversity, Our brain states can shift throughout the day, affecting our information processing. During ADHD-like brain states, there is an emphasis on instincts, personal experience, and creative thinking. These states can enhance detail-oriented thinking, empathy, and fluid thinking. 00:21:44 - Marginalization of Neurodiversity, Neurodiversity that aligns with ADHD-like processes is often marginalized in education and traditional organizational structures. However, these processes play vital roles in innovation and creativity. Organizations should identify and leverage different features of neurodiversity to unlock the full potential of their teams. 00:24:09 - Optimizing Team Roles, Sigi explains how optimizing team roles involves recognizing different types of neurodiversity and the associated strengths. 00:30:27 - Understanding Neurodiversity in Decision Making, Sigi discusses how different brain types, such as those with ADHD, have unique ways of seeing the world and making decisions. It is important to appreciate this diversity, as it affects how individuals make choices in different market spaces. 00:31:48 - Tailoring Communication for Different Brains, A good salesman understands that different people have different decision-making styles. Some rely on experience and emotions, while others focus on facts and figures. A deep understanding of these differences allows for effective communication and marketing strategies. 00:32:48 - Measuring Decision-Making Styles in Populations, Market research involves measuring the expression of different decision-making styles in various market spaces and cohorts of people. Understanding how these styles change over time and in different situations is crucial for making sense of human decision-making. 00:37:24 - Context and Decision Making, The context in which decisions are made greatly influences decision-making psychology. Certain situations can harmonize decision-making styles across individuals, while others may push individuals to make decisions in different ways. Understanding the context is essential for effective advertising and marketing strategies. 00:40:25 - Optimizing as a Solopreneur, As a solopreneur, it is important to understand your own strengths and weaknesses in relation to neurodiversity. Knowing where you excel and where you struggle allows you to find external resources, technologies, and people to buffer against your weaknesses.
