Highly sensitive persons—adults and children alike—care deeply about people, about nature, about the world. Host Elizabeth Cush and Judith Orloff, MD, talk about the extraordinary gift of empathy in this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast.“So many of us were shamed for being who we were and being highly sensitive or empathic and not given education about it.”  — Judith Orloff, M.D.What can a bunny teach us about empathy? A lot, it turns out, when the highly sensitive rabbit is modeled after a highly sensitive person who was called a crybaby, left alone by her brothers and sisters, and felt like she didn't belong in the world. That is, until she begins to make like-minded friends who taught her how to embrace her sensitivity and care deeply for others without being swallowed up by her caring. In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and soul support for highly sensitive women, welcomes Judith Orloff, MD, a psychiatrist, an empath, and author of the children's book The Highly Sensitive Rabbit as well as The Genius of Empathy, The Empath's Survival Guide and other titles. They talk about finding your place and your people, achieving balance, celebrating the gifts of sensitivity, end encouraging empathy in the next generation.You can find the full show notes and resources for all the episodes here.Support the showI hope you enjoyed the show!

Weihnachten steht vor der Tür. Die Zeit der Besinnlichkeit, der Liebe – und der Familientreffen, bei denen Tante Gerda dich fragt, warum du immer noch Single bist, während Onkel Klaus dir erklärt, dass Yoga kein richtiger Beruf ist. Diese Episode ist dein Survival-Guide. Aber nicht der nette mit Räucherstäbchen und "Namaste, alles ist gut". Sondern der ehrliche. Der, der dir zeigt, wie du aufhörst, dich zu verkleinern, damit sich andere größer fühlen können. Du lernst, warum Schweigen manchmal lauter ist als jede Antwort. Warum dein "Nein" ein vollständiger Satz ist. Und warum die Menschen, die dein Wachstum am meisten kritisieren, meistens die sind, die am wenigsten gewachsen sind. Keine spirituelle Zuckerwatte. Keine toxische Positivität. Nur die Wahrheit – und ein bisschen Feuer für deine Seele. Sat Nam und viel Spaß beim Unberührbar-Werden. Und: Lass mir deine Kommentare bei Spotify und iTunes, i love it!

“May you live in interesting times,” is supposed to be a Chinese mantra. But according to Cambridge University China expert, Christopher Marquis, our current interesting times are actually a curse for businesses seeking stability rather than disorder. Is this, then, a moment for “strategic hibernation” Marquis asks in a provocative Harvard Business Review piece. Yes, he mostly answers. Businesses are indeed frozen by a perfect storm of uncertainty—overhyped AI, tariffs, and climate disasters. And speaking out in these turbulent times, he warns, can carry severe consequences -such as Jack Ma's “cancellation” and the NBA's exile from Chinese TV demonstrated after political missteps. Marquis, author of Mao and Markets, draws on his decade observing Chinese corporate survival tactics to counsel American companies navigating the stormy Trump waters: continue vital work like DEI internally, but avoid publicly poking the political bear. The Prohibition playbook offers a historical model—1920s brewers pivoted to soft drinks using their core bottling capabilities, hibernating their alcohol-making assets until the environment changed. The exception? Brands built on moral values, like Patagonia and Dr. Bronner's, shouldn't go silent—but even they should seek strength in collective action rather than standing alone. Rather than poking the bear, Marquis concludes about our interesting times, become the bear and hibernate. This is a public episode.

In this heartfelt conversation, Tania sits down with Dr. Judith Orloff, psychiatrist and author of The Empath's Survival Guide, to explore what it means to raise and support an empathic or highly sensitive child.Together they unpack how empathy and intuition show up in children, how to tell the difference between emotional sensitivity and anxiety, and why empathic kids often struggle with overwhelm, fatigue, or emotional contagion. Dr. Orloff shares grounding and protection strategies that help children stay open-hearted without absorbing the stress of others.This episode is an invitation for parents and educators to see empathy not as a weakness, but as a profound gift that needs understanding, structure, and care to flourish.To purchase "The Highly Sensitive Rabbit", click hereWanting more from ICP?

Be honest—you're already thinking about it. That voice saying "I'll just enjoy the holidays and deal with it in January." You know exactly what happens next: 10 pounds of bloating, water retention, and regret somewhere between Halloween candy and New Year's champagne. But what if you didn't have to choose between enjoying the holidays and feeling good in your body? With Thanksgiving just 2 days away, Dr. Terri is bringing back the conversation that resonated most during last year's holiday season—her practical, no-nonsense discussion with functional dietitian Elizabeth DiMeo on how to navigate the next six weeks WITHOUT the January regret. In this episode, you'll discover: Why skipping meals to "save up" for Thanksgiving dinner actually sabotages your metabolism The ONE decision at the dessert table that changes everything (dessert OR alcohol—Elizabeth explains why) Elizabeth's secret weapon appetizers you should bring to every holiday party (so you always have something guilt-free) The buffalo cauliflower recipe that tastes so good you won't believe it's healthy Her genius vodka-and-tomato trick that makes you the hit of the party The truth about portion sizes (spoiler: a serving of cheese is just 2 dice) Smart strategies for navigating office parties, family dinners, and cookie exchanges This isn't about deprivation or restriction. Elizabeth gets it—she's Italian, she loves food, she literally just got back from France eating all the cheese. This is about STRATEGY. It's about making choices that let you enjoy yourself without spending January feeling bloated, inflamed, and defeated. You still have time to grab ingredients before Thursday. You can still volunteer to bring that one dish that will save you. You can still set yourself up for success. Two days until Thanksgiving. Let's make this the year you break the cycle. -- The Dr. Terri Show is presented by Evexias Health Solutions. For more, visit: ⁠https://www.evexias.com⁠ -- Connect with Dr. Terri DeNeui, DNP:

EPISODE 634 - Kelly Farley - He Lost His Baby Too, Survival Guide for the Grieving Dad and Grieving DadsIf you have ever loved a child, then you understand what it's like to love someone more than you love life itself. If you have ever lost a child, then you understand more about hell than anyone could possibly be expected to know. This isn't something you get over. Only those who have lost a child can understand the depths to which this pain travels. Like most of the men who will read these books, I too am a grieving dad.The message I want bereaved fathers to understand is that I know it's hard, I know it hurts, I know it's scary — but you can get through this. You can survive. It will be the hardest thing you will ever experience; it will drain you physically, mentally, and emotionally. You can come out on the other side of this very long and lonely tunnel, but you will be a different person when you do. There is no going back to the old you.You also need to know that you are not alone in your grief. Other men have been through this and that the emotions they keep inside are the same emotions all of us experience, even if we don't talk about them. The best thing you can do is to reach out for help and to know it is not a sign of “weakness” to do so. Instead, it's a sign of courage and strength — the kind that's required to face this battle head on.Book: He Lost His Baby TooSurvival Guide for the Grieving DadThis book was written specifically for fathers grappling with the unbearable aftermath of losing a baby. It is all too easy for a bereaved father to succumb to a haunting sense of isolation after such a loss. However, within these pages lies a lifeline—a survival guide infused with wisdom, providing a roadmap through the complicated path of grief.In the wake of a tragic loss—whether it be a miscarriage, a stillbirth, or the untimely passing of an infant—this invaluable resource unravels the layers of anguish that overwhelm grieving fathers. Written by a grieving dad, this book offers unflinching honesty and poignant insight, it also delves into the raw pain that accompanies such a profound loss, assuring these men that their emotions, however overwhelming, are both valid and shared by others who have walked a similar path.Book: Grieving DadsTo the Brink and BackA collection of candid stories from grieving dads that were interviewed over a two-year period. The book offers insight from fellow members of, in the haunting words of one dad, “this terrible, terrible club,” which consists of men who have experienced the death of a child. This book is a collection of survival stories by men who have survived the worst possible loss and lived to tell the tale.They are real stories that pull no punches and are told with brutal honesty. Men that have shared their deepest and darkest moments. Moments that included thoughts of suicide, self-medication, and homelessness. Some of these men have found their way back from the brink, while others are still standing there, stuck in their pain. The core message of Grieving Dads is “you're not alone.” It is a message that desperately needs to be delivered to grieving dads who often grieve in silence due to society's expectations.https://www.grievingdads.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Thanksgiving is sneaking up on us faster than Aunt Judy can bring up that one family feud, and trust me, we're here to help you avoid a holiday disaster. In this hour, Eric G and John Dudley are dishing out the ultimate last-minute tips to get your home ready for the big feast. We're talking everything from decluttering those countertops (because, really, who needs that collection of weird knick-knacks out when the whole clan's rolling in?) to prepping your oven so it doesn't turn into a fiery pit of despair. We'll even tackle the age-old dilemma of ensuring your plumbing is ready for the inevitable Thanksgiving toilet drama—because nothing says "Happy Thanksgiving" like a clogged toilet when Uncle Bob decides to unleash his famous post-dinner bomb. So grab that turkey baster and let's get your home holiday-ready, folks!Thanksgiving is creeping up faster than we can say 'stuffing', and in this episode, we dive deep into the chaotic world of getting your home ready for the big family gathering. Eric G and John Dudley tackle the top 10 things you should do (and maybe a few you shouldn't) before the turkey hits the table. From decluttering countertops to ensuring that your kitchen is prepped for all the culinary madness that comes with feeding a small army, they've got you covered. They humorously navigate through the typical Thanksgiving drama, from the inevitable family arguments to the horror stories of kitchen disasters, all while providing practical tips that might just save you from a meltdown before your guests arrive. Plus, they share the importance of prepping your home for the influx of relatives and how to avoid being the host with the most 'oops' moments. If you're feeling that pre-holiday panic, tune in for a dose of laughter and sanity as you gear up for this year's Thanksgiving festivities.Takeaways: Deep cleaning and decluttering your kitchen counters is essential for Thanksgiving prep, trust me, your sanity depends on it! Creating designated areas for food prep can prevent turkey juice disasters, because nobody wants a Salmonella surprise at dinner! Sharp knives are your best friends in the kitchen—don't ruin your expensive cutlery with dull blades, get them sharpened, it's worth it! Be mindful of air quality—open windows and turn on fans to avoid post-dinner comas from carbon dioxide overload, or your guests will be napping through the football game! Checking your oven's accuracy before Thanksgiving is a must; a miscalibrated oven can ruin your turkey and your holiday spirit, so do it now! And remember, inviting lonely neighbors over for Thanksgiving can turn a mundane holiday into a heartwarming event, plus it gives you extra people to blame during family arguments!

If you run the kind of premium brand that either does not participate in Black Friday, or does so differently to the mass-market brands running huge discount promos and turning Black Friday into Black Month…. Then I bet your November started slower than you expected… Maybe not disastrously slow, but quieter than you'd like… Meanwhile, your inbox is absolutely exploding with promotional emails. 50% off. 60% off. "Our biggest sale ever!"... You might be starting to think that maybe you should have gone harder. Maybe you should have started your promotions earlier. Maybe you should have offered bigger discounts.  If this is you, I need you to know something: that FOMO you're feeling? It's lying to you. Yes, your sales might seem quieter than the discount circus happening around you. Yes, it feels uncomfortable watching all that activity whilst your own metrics look comparatively... modest. Yes, you might be wondering if you should just cave and offer 40% off everything. But the numbers tell a very different story. In this episode, I'm going to explain why your quieter November might actually be the smartest strategic move you could make. And importantly, I'm also going to give you some practical tips on HOW to get your marketing messaging to cut through all that noise and connect with the right customers, so that you convert profitable sales that lead to more lucrative customer lifetime values.   Links mentioned in this episode: If you'd like help to achieve your goals, I invite you to have a chat to find out how we can make that happen together HERE By booking a Free Growth Strategy https://productpreneurmarketing.com/lets-talk     Other Ways To Enjoy This Episode: Listen on Apple Podcasts Listen on Spotify Youtube

In this heartfelt conversation, Dr. Judith Orloff, psychiatrist, empath, and New York Times bestselling author, joins Colleen O'Grady to explore how parents can understand and support their highly sensitive teens.
