Join us for an insightful conversation with KJ Blattenbauer, a powerhouse publicist with nearly 30 years of experience helping "underdogs" and bold brands secure the recognition they deserve. In this episode, KJ discusses how effective visibility is not about chasing a viral moment, but about establishing a consistent, recognizable position where the right people understand your expertise. She reveals that many entrepreneurs struggle with a lack of confidence that is actually rooted in confusion over their positioning; once that clarity is achieved, authority and opportunities naturally follow. Discover how to build authority by leveraging your existing proof—such as awards and past results—and accessing "borrowed platforms" like podcasts and guest teaching. KJ emphasizes that women must proactively share their accolades to avoid doing a disservice to those who need their products or services. To help you get started, she shares valuable resources from Hearsay PR including "Headline Your Life" to find your brand story, a "Pitch Kit" for media outreach, and "PR Before Payroll" for building authority without a large budget. For those looking for a modern guide to building lasting authority, keep an eye out for KJ's upcoming book, Pitchworthy, arriving in January 2026.

Stop Saying “I Just Want to Heal” — Define What Healing Means in 2026 (After Infidelity) If you've been saying, “I just want to heal,” or “I just want to feel like myself again,” this episode is your loving wake-up call: those phrases are too vague to carry you where you want to go. Healing happens faster—and feels safer—when you get specific about what you're actually birthing next. Episode Description In this episode, Lora opens with a powerful 4-minute “next-level you” practice designed to shift your energy from surviving to creating. Then she breaks down why “I just want to heal” often keeps you stuck—and how to replace it with clear, embodied direction. You'll learn how to define what healing means for you (peace of mind, confidence, boundaries, financial stability, emotional safety), how to create the structure that makes success almost inevitable, and how to stay flexible when life pivots. Plus, Lora shares a real-life story about preparing to attend a funeral where her husband's former affair partner may be present—and how conscious planning creates safety, connection, and dignity. Top 3 Takeaways The universe—and your nervous system—respond to specificity. “I want to heal” becomes powerful when you define what healing looks like in real life: fewer obsessive thoughts, better sleep, stronger boundaries, emotional regulation, self-trust. You don't have to control the outcome to direct your life. Some desires need “hard-no” boundaries; others need “surprise party energy” where you stay open to support arriving in unexpected forms. Structure creates success. Goals aren't just wishes—they're supported by plans: the right people, tools, rehearsed responses, and simple tracking that helps you notice progress (and adjust when something isn't working).

In this festive, end-of-year episode, the Apothercaries are joined by the fourth and fifth apothecaries, Clare Howard and Jonathan Underhill. We reflect on momentous moments in medicines alongside some personal reflections, including the impact of AI on medicine, the drive towards reducing hospital stays for older frail patients, and the successes of the HPV vaccination program. Some familiar faces pop up in our end-of-year quiz and as usual we share some great stories, medicines banter, and joyful festive moments. We finish off sharing our genuine gratitude to you,  our listeners for, continuing to tune in and support us.2025 was another landmark year for The Aural Apothecary. We continued to explore the stories, systems and science behind medicines — from data and AI to safety, culture and unintended consequences. Alongside the podcast, we developed our Aural Apothecary Medicines Map, a conceptual piece of art linking medicines together in a way never seen before (we think!). In May, we took the show live to the Clinical Pharmacy Congress in London, and in December we went to Oxford University and recorded a special episode at the Bennett Institute, interviewing Professor Ben Goldacre on prescribing data, evidence and transparency. We even made it into the Christmas edition of the BMJ with an article about how the BNF has grown in size and weight over decades !! https://www.bmj.com/content/391/bmj.r2574 And not forgetting, Jamie's triumphant TED Talk. As ever, the year blended curiosity, thoughtful conversation and a belief that how medicines are used matters just as much as what they do.From Prescription to Ocean — A TEDx Talk by Jamie HayesWe're incredibly proud to share that Aural Apothecary co-host Jamie Hayes has taken to the TEDx stage with a thought-provoking talk:  Prescription to Ocean: The Hidden Impact of Medicines https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swCLNaAG5qY Jamie explores a fascinating and urgent question: What happens to our medicines once they leave the prescription pad — and how do they impact the world beyond the patient? It's a journey that connects healthcare, the environment, and our shared responsibility for the future. You'll never think about prescribing (or taking) medicines in quite the same way again.Please take a few minutes to watch, reflect, and share — this is a conversation worth having.Please follow us on LinkedIn!

Stop billing. Start thrilling.Gear Up for Growth With Jean CaragherFor CPA Trendlines In a re-energizing episode of Gear Up for Growth, Paul Dunn makes the case that the billable hour isn't just outdated—it's holding firms back. The four-time TEDx speaker and cofounder of B1G1 challenges accounting leaders to rethink how success is measured and to lead with purpose, not punch clocks.  Gear Up for Growth spotlights the best strategies for smart and efficient growth in today's competitive landscape. More Gear Up for Growth here | More Jean Caragher here | Get her best-selling handbook, The 90-Day Marketing Plan for CPA Firms, here | More CPA Trendlines videos and podcasts here Talking with host Jean Caragher, Dunn reframes the profession's obsession with time as a distraction from what clients actually value. “It's not about the inputs,” he says. “It's about the outcomes.” When firms anchor their work to results—and to the human impact behind those results—growth follows naturally.More than two decades after coauthoring "The Firm of the Future," Dunn remains a vocal critic of six-minute increments. While some firms are inching toward value pricing and advisory-led models, he argues the real shift requires courage. Measuring work by time, he notes, is “the opposite of human flourishing.” Measuring by impact, on the other hand, elevates both clients and teams.Originally published May 2025

Witam Was w nowym sezonie podcastu “O długim życiu w zdrowiu”, czyli najbardziej merytorycznym i jednocześnie przystępnym podcaście o długowieczności w Polsce. Sen to jeden z najważniejszych, a jednocześnie najbardziej niedocenianych filarów zdrowia. Wpływa nie tylko na długość życia, ale także na odporność, metabolizm, gospodarkę hormonalną, zdrowie psychiczne i codzienne samopoczucie. Coraz więcej wiemy jednak o tym, że sen to nie tylko odpowiednia liczba godzin, ale jego jakość, regularność i dopasowanie do indywidualnych potrzeb. Czy nadmiar snu może szkodzić tak samo jak jego niedobór? Ile snu faktycznie potrzebujemy i dlaczego nie wszyscy funkcjonujemy dobrze przy tych samych zaleceniach? Czy chronotypy to mit, a może faktycznie jest w nich ziarno prawdy? Czy sen głęboki naprawdę jest tak ważny i po czym poznać, że sen przestaje być regenerujący? Na te i inne pytania odpowiemy w dzisiejszej rozmowie.Odcinek podcastu jest wspierany przez markę Kogen, która czerpie inspirację z japońskiej filozofii troski o zdrowie oraz łączy naturę z osiągnięciami nauki.

In this Soul Elevation episode, I sit down with intuitive channel and mentor Stephanie Banks for a heartfelt conversation about empowerment, soul communication, and trusting your inner guidance. Stephanie shares how her mother's dementia opened the doorway for her to begin channeling—first with loved ones in body, then with souls, guides, animals, and Gaia herself.  We explore the responsibility that comes with channeling, how to discern between intuition and thought, and how presence and self-trust can deepen your connection with divine wisdom. We also talk about Gaia's messages for humanity, the power of nature as meditation, and the rise of the divine feminine on our planet. Stephanie's grounded authenticity and loving insight are a refreshing reminder that you already have the capacity to connect with higher consciousness. It simply takes slowing down and tuning in.  

Happy Holidays Everyone!Parents around the world are constantly searching for guidance to navigate the unpredictable journey of raising children. But what happens when life doesn't go as planned? When challenges arise—whether it's a child facing illness, bullying, or academic struggles—how can parents find the strength to remain hopeful? How do they sleep at night, knowing the world can be so uncertain, especially when their children are vulnerable to threats like terrorism or mass shootings in schools? Confronted with these types of difficult issues, it's often challenging to maintain a positive outlook. We can all feel discouraged when the unknown makes us think, “If things aren't good today, they won't get better in the future.”This is why bestselling author, TEDx speaker, and podcaster Allison Carmen's new audiobook, Maybe Everything is Okay: A Parent's Guide to Less Stress and Worry (September 17, 2024; Tantor Audio Original; narrated by Kim Niemi), is both important and timely. It offers parents a powerful and uplifting tool called the “Maybe mindset” to help them navigate the unknown with greater ease and renewed hope.Whether a child is 2 or 22, or even has children of their own, this audiobook provides parents with a resilient mindset that will support them throughout their child's entire life journey.

We're calling BS on the idea that “health” is only pills, trackers, and willpower. In this conversation with journalist and TEDx speaker Julia Hotz, author of The Connection Cure, we dig into social prescribing—evidence-based referrals to movement, nature, art, service, and belonging—that can lower stress, boost mood, and make our lives feel human again.  Edgy truth: we've replaced community with convenience. The remedy? Re-connect to what matters to you and let your nervous system exhale. Julia advises Social Prescribing USA and Walk with a Doc, collaborates with the Solutions Journalism Network, and teaches in medical schools—turning research on connection into care that actually changes lives. We cover: What social prescribing actually is (no, your doctor isn't forcing you to make friends) and why up to 80% of health is socially determined—think stress, access to green space, and community, not just clinic time. The five social-Rx categories: Movement, Nature, Art, Service, Belonging—and how most prescriptions blend at least two. A nature-based case study: how a 10-week outdoors program reduced insomnia, rumination, and stress—plus why time in nature can feel like it gives you time back. From “shoulds” to want to: questions that surface your personal Rx (awe/flow/glimmers, what lit you up as a kid, and where you'd spend two extra hours a week). Turning workouts into joy: travel-style discovery walks at home, walking groups, or pickup games that deliver cardio and connection. Blue-zones energy without the gym membership: everyday movement, long chats, shared meals, and community as longevity multipliers. The U.S. landscape: why social prescriptions can complement meds (not replace them), and how orgs like Social Prescribing USA and Walk with a Doc are moving this forward. So whether your version of medicine looks like a morning hike, a pottery class, or finally joining that book club, the point isn't perfection—it's participation. Because when we choose connection over isolation and curiosity over compliance, we're not just improving our health—we're reclaiming our humanity. Thank you to our sponsors!

In this inspiring episode of Bootstrap MD, Dr. Mike Woo-Ming welcomes Dr. Scott Ellner, as he shares his journey from witnessing a roadside trauma that sparked his path to medicine, to practicing in New England, facing burnout and suicidal thoughts, and pivoting to executive roles like leading Integris Health Medical Group. Drawing from surfing metaphors, he discusses mental health stigma, the addiction to identity, finding purpose beyond the OR, and practical tips for physicians navigating pivots, startups, and leadership in chaotic healthcare. Perfect for doctors feeling stuck or seeking nonclinical transitions, this conversation offers hope, transparency, and actionable insights on grit, resilience, and reaching out. Three Actionable Takeaways:   Embrace Mental Health Openly: Physicians face immense stressors—discuss it like physical health. If you're in crisis (e.g., burnout, cynicism), reflect on purpose: "What intimidates me motivates me." Reach out to a trusted person; a simple "Are you okay?" can save lives, as it did for Scott during a dark night on call. Redefine Purpose Beyond Identity: Don't tie your worth to "surgeon" or "physician"—identity addiction fuels burnout. Pivot by exploring passions (e.g., leadership, startups); spend time journaling or in "executive residencies" to learn business acumen, funding pitches, and health system buy-in for new ventures. Use Surfing as a Leadership Metaphor: Adversity builds grit. Paddle through discomfort like cold water or wetsuits. In healthcare chaos (post-COVID), lead by contributing meaningfully; for pivots, seek VC insights on exit strategies and physician influence (e.g., CMO buy-in) to make ideas stick. About the Show: Bootstrap MD is the ultimate podcast for physician entrepreneurs looking to escape traditional healthcare and control their financial futures. Hosted by Dr. Mike Woo-Ming, a successful physician, entrepreneur, and investor, the show delivers actionable insights on starting businesses, creating passive income, and navigating healthcare entrepreneurship. Featuring interviews with industry leaders, physicians, and experts in telemedicine and digital health, it's your guide to building a profitable, fulfilling career.  Tune in weekly at  http://bootstrapmd.com  About the Guest: Dr. Scott Ellner is a former general and trauma surgeon, now President of Integris Health Medical Group in Oklahoma City. A leadership strategist and TEDx speaker, he transitioned from clinical practice after a mental health crisis, drawing from surgery, surfing, and executive roles to help physicians combat burnout and lead sustainably. He's the author of Wipe Out, Rise Up: A Practical and Deeply Human Guide to Leadership, Grit, and Redefining Success in Medicine.

In the world of sales, the relentless pressure to perform can take a toll on physical and mental health. But what if the secret to sustained sales success wasn't just about hitting targets, but also about how you care for your body and mind?  On this episode of the Sales Reinvented podcast, I sat down with Jamie Crosbie, TEDx speaker, sales leader, and founder of Proactivate, to explore the powerful link between fitness and professional sales performance. Here's how building habits around health can elevate not just your mood, but your sales results. Outline of This Episode [01:20] Exercise leads to a sharper mind, increased energy, and clarity. [02:39] Jamie's top 3 fitness habits for sales professionals. [06:14] Recovery practices are an integral part of being a high performer. [07:29] Finding your core alignment. [11:21] A real-world example of when improving her physical health directly contributed to Jamie's success. [12:27] Balancing life and growth phases. Moving your body sharpens your mind because exercise is more than a routine; it's a catalyst for energy, focus, and resilience, all of which are essential to be a high performer professionally. Jamie likens pushing through a tough workout to conquering business challenges, highlighting that physical resilience directly supports professional stamina and mental agility. Jamie's Go-To Wellbeing Practices  Jamie singles out yoga as her cornerstone practice, as it grounds her and aligns her mind and body. Through breath work and mindful presence, yoga provides a physical reset and reinforces intention and focus, traits that translate into client meetings and high-stakes presentations. But her routine doesn't stop at yoga. Jamie's holistic approach to performance includes: Morning Movement: Whether it's hiking, strength training, walking, or yoga, Jamie starts her day with movement to set the tone and energy for what's ahead. Mindset Work: Mornings also include meditation, devotionals, gratitude, and affirmations, all serving to anchor her to her purpose and cultivate a resilient mental state. Physical Care: Prioritizing sleep, hydration, and whole, unprocessed foods ensures both body and mind function at their best. Managing Stress and Burnout in Sales High-performing sales professionals face unique stresses: demanding quotas, travel, and constant client engagement. Jamie and I discuss why regular exercise and a balanced diet are foundational to stress management, hormone regulation, and maintaining motivation. They're necessary tools for consistent performance. A common challenge she observes among salespeople is the struggle to find time for self-care, frequently leading to burnout. Jamie recommends booking fitness sessions as standing appointments, "treat it as a non-negotiable", which helps build consistency and makes self-care part of your professional identity. Recognizing and Responding to Burnout Self-awareness is critical, and it's so important to recognize the early signs of fatigue and burnout, such as feeling distant from your core, a lack of joy, a short temper, or brain fog. Rather than waiting until these signals become overwhelming, Jamie suggests intervening early: step outside, meditate, stretch, or simply pause to check in with yourself. She champions the idea that recovery is part of high performance, and it's not a luxury, so sleep and downtime deserve as much respect as your most important deals. Jamie's Dos and Don'ts for Fitness and Performance Jamie shares actionable insights for building a sustainable, high-performance lifestyle:  Dos: Block movement time in your calendar. Prioritize sleep as seriously as you do client meetings. Fuel your body with whole, unprocessed foods (think fruits, vegetables, organic proteins). Don'ts: Don't view self-care as selfish; it's essential for leadership. Don't rely on caffeine to mask fatigue. Don't wait for a health scare to make positive changes. Living and Selling with Intentionality Peak sales performance is rooted in living intentionally across all areas of life. By embedding fitness and self-reflection into the fabric of your daily routine, you'll be better equipped to face your professional challenges. As Jamie's own experiences demonstrate, prioritizing your health isn't an indulgence; it's a strategic investment in your success as a sales professional, leader, and human being.

As a gift for being a speaker at Mixed Remixed, a conference with corporate sponsorship by 23andMe, Maria Leonard Olsen received a free a DNA test. Weeks later when the results came back, Maria was shocked when the results identified genetic ancestry that didn't match her family's story...and led to the realization that the father who raised her wasn't biologically-related. Maria's discovery that she's an NPE was one in a series of major life shocks she has weathered. From surviving childhood trauma to achieving sobriety, Maria has turned the adversity she's faced into inspiring TEDx talks, a podcast, presentations, and multiple books. Her next book, which covers the gamut of topics raised by consumer DNA testing, is due out in 2026.In our conversation, we covered:The identity shift that comes from finding out the father who raised you is not biologically-related Meeting new biological relatives (including her biological father, who was also surprised to find out about her)The challenges in embracing a shift in your cultural and ethnic identity in adulthood, after having formed a coherent personal identityHow others in the family reacted to the surprise DNA news (including her mother's reaction, and her son's)Sharing your personal story to encourage others to grab hold of their lives and create their own meaning and purposeMaria's top three takeaway messages from her upcoming book about DNA surprisesWe also chat about the book Maria will be publishing in 2026 that brings the DNA test industry and surprise DNA discoveries into the spotlight for the general audience who might not yet have encountered a DNA surprise. Maria's professional background as a lawyer and her up-close-and-personal experience of a DNA discovery make her a powerful figure in the world of DNA support and a fitting guest for this next episode of DNA Clarity and Support.You can read Maria's full bio and history:On WatershedDNA.comandOn Maria's website, marialeonardolsen.com

He discusses the initial discomfort of building new co-parenting routines, overcoming external skepticism, and strategies for letting go of the past to create a positive future. Listeners will hear actionable advice on communication, adapting business skills to parenting logistics, and the transformative power of small, intentional choices like beginning with just one "yes" or "of course." Quotes: “If you don't have a reason to say no, you should always say yes in this type of environment.” “It's not about you. It's about what's best for the kids: let go of animosity, remove your ego, and focus on their time.” “Start with one yes. Or, even better, of course, and let it snowball into something more positive for everyone.” Resources: Connect with Jon Bassford on LinkedIn.

If your marketing feels like it's working harder… but not necessarily working better, you're not imagining it.In this episode, I'm joined by our lead speaking coach, Diane Diaz, for part one of a two-part series all about why your signature talk isn't just “nice to have” - it's actually the foundation of an effective marketing strategy.We're seeing it everywhere: more content, more noise, more competition for attention. And yet, many women entrepreneurs and professionals are still treating their talks as an afterthought — something they dust off when a speaking opportunity pops up.That's a missed opportunity. Your signature talk is your marketing.In our conversation, Diane and I break down why public speaking accelerates the know-like-trust factor faster than almost any other marketing channel — and how a well-designed signature talk can do the heavy lifting for you.We talk about:Why speaking creates deeper trust than social media posts, emails, or even podcasts aloneHow a single lead-generation talk brought in multiple new clients the same day — without being salesyThe difference between passive marketing (scrolling, consuming) and active engagement (participating, resonating, deciding)Why audiences are more likely to trust you when they see other people responding to your message (hello, mirror neurons)What a signature talk really is (hint: it's not just one rigid presentation you give foreverAs you listen, I want you to start thinking about:What problem do you really solve for your clients?What does your audience think is holding them back — and what do you see that they don't yet?Where might you be sharing information… when what your audience needs is leadership, perspective, and clarity?If that feels fuzzy (and for most people, it does), you're not doing it wrong. This is exactly why an outside perspective — and a proven framework — makes such a difference.In the next episode, we're diving into how to design and deliver presentations that actually convert — without awkward pitches or forced CTAs.If you've ever thought, “I'm speaking, but it's not leading to clients,” part two is for you.And if you're ready to build a signature talk that becomes the backbone of your marketing, visibility, and thought leadership, you can learn more about working with us inside the Thought Leader Academy, through a VIP Day, or at one of our in-person Orlando speaking workshops.Links:Show notes at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/456/ Discover your Speaker Archetype by taking our free quiz at https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/quiz/Enroll in our Thought Leader Academy: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/academy/ Attend our 1-day Speaking Accelerator Workshop in Orlando: https://www.speakingyourbrand.com/orlando/ Connect on LinkedIn:Carol Cox = https://www.linkedin.com/in/carolcoxDiane Diaz = https://www.linkedin.com/in/dianediaz/ Related Podcast Episodes:Episode 453: Why Your Best Talk is the One You Give Again (and Again)Episode 396: Creating a Signature Talk that Attracts Paid Speaking Opportunities

Shannon Ryan is a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) with over 30 years of experience guiding individuals and families through the emotional side of money. Known for her relatable insights and warm, clear style. Shannon combines deep financial knowledge with a heart-centered approach to help people move from money stress to empowerment. She's the author of the upcoming book Your Money Has Feelings and a seasoned media guest, having appeared on CNBC, Good Morning America, and TEDx. Shannon's work focuses on uncovering the beliefs and wounds that silently shape our financial behavior—and showing people how to rewrite them. Whether she's advising clients or speaking to audiences, Shannon helps others understand why they do what they do with money, and how to build lasting confidence rooted in clarity, not shame. Shannon Ryan Vroom Vroom Veer Summary Emotional Aspects of Financial Decisions Shannon discussed her book "Your Money Has Feelings," which explores how personal experiences and emotional responses influence financial decisions. She emphasized that money issues often stem from unconscious emotional responses rather than a lack of funds, and she highlighted the importance of understanding these underlying factors to better manage finances. Jeffery agreed with Shannon's perspective, noting that money-related problems are complex and not solely about having enough money. Money's Emotional Impact on Lives Jeffery and Shannon discussed their personal experiences with money and its impact on their lives. Shannon shared her childhood experiences growing up in a divorced family where money was used as a tool for power, which shaped her views on financial independence and earning potential. Jeffery introduced the concept of the Financial Independence Retire Early (FIRE) movement and discussed his own journey towards financial independence. They both agreed that money is an emotional topic and that financial literacy goes beyond just knowledge, involving personal experiences and emotional wounds. Financial Decisions and Learning Insights Jeffery and Shannon discussed the changing landscape of information access and its impact on research and learning. Shannon shared a personal story about helping clients align their financial decisions with their personal goals, emphasizing the importance of questioning cultural expectations and societal pressures. Jeffery recounted his own experiences with homeownership and financial decisions, highlighting the lessons learned from missed opportunities and financial challenges. Both agreed on the value of learning from mistakes and moving forward with newfound knowledge. Vacation Home Investment Myths Shannon and Jeffery discussed the misconceptions around real estate investments, particularly vacation homes. Shannon emphasized that while owning a vacation home may not be a sound financial investment, it can provide personal fulfillment and create lasting memories. They also touched on the changing dynamics of rental markets and the importance of aligning personal values with lifestyle choices when deciding where to live. Client Expectations and Ethical Investing Shannon shared a personal story about a client who was dissatisfied with his 37% portfolio return in 1998, despite it being significantly higher than expected, because he felt his neighbor who invested entirely in tech stocks performed better. This led to a discussion about how money is a primal and emotionally charged topic due to its connection to basic needs and societal judgment, and how financial advisors must balance client expectations with ethical investing practices. Financial Risks and Professional Advice Shannon shared a personal story about a client who lost 80% of their retirement investments after taking unnecessary risks, leading to a difficult parting of ways. She emphasized how fear and greed can make people vulnerable to poor financial decisions and fraud, while also discussing the importance of professional financial advice. Jeffery shared his own experience of receiving early financial guidance from an uncle and learning about The Motley Fool's resources, which helped shape his investment approach. Retirement's Emotional and Financial Transition Shannon and Jeffery discussed the transition from working to retirement, emphasizing that while managing finances is relatively straightforward, the emotional aspects of retirement are more challenging. Shannon highlighted the importance of understanding one's financial flow and overcoming emotional barriers to engage with money management tools. They agreed that while resources for retirement planning are freely available, many people avoid addressing their finances due to emotional resistance. Empowering Financial Planning Conversations Shannon and Jeffery discussed financial planning, focusing on the importance of understanding one's spending habits and addressing the emotional challenges associated with financial discussions. Shannon emphasized the need to move away from self-judgment and shame when talking about finances, suggesting a more empowering approach to conversations with family and friends. Jeffery expressed interest in learning how to facilitate such discussions and shared a personal belief in taking responsibility for one's life, regardless of the circumstances. Mindset and Money Discussion Shannon and Jeffery discussed the power of mindset in relation to money, with Shannon emphasizing that positive thinking can lead to better financial opportunities. They also talked about Shannon's upcoming book "Your Money Has Feelings" and her website. Jeffery mentioned that the podcast episode would be released the following Monday and offered Shannon a link to the Zoom recording for her social media use. Connections Website

In this episode of Dr. Marianne-Land, I speak with fat activist, TEDx speaker, author, DEI expert, and podcast host Vinny Welsby (they/them) about anti-fat bias in healthcare, weight stigma in medicine, and the real-world harm fat patients experience when seeking medical care. Vinny, who shares extensively about fat liberation, weight-inclusive care, and dismantling diet culture on Instagram at @fierce.fatty, brings both lived experience and data into this conversation. This episode centers on Vinny's survey of 270 fat people, in which 99.25% reported experiencing weight-based discrimination in healthcare. These findings expose how common medical weight stigma, anti-fatness, and provider bias truly are, and why so many fat people delay or avoid healthcare altogether. Weight Stigma in Healthcare: Survey Data and Lived Experience We break down what those survey results actually mean for patients. Vinny shares stories of medical dismissal, misdiagnosis, delayed treatment, and humiliation in healthcare settings, including being told to lose weight instead of receiving appropriate medical evaluation. We discuss how weight stigma shows up through provider assumptions, lack of size-inclusive equipment, routine weighing without consent, and dismissive or dehumanizing language. This section highlights how anti-fat bias in healthcare leads to worse physical health outcomes, increased medical trauma, and deep mistrust of medical systems. Medical Trauma, Nervous System Effects, and Avoiding Care We explore how repeated experiences of weight stigma activate the nervous system and create medical trauma. Even scheduling an appointment can trigger fear, shame, and exhaustion. Vinny and I talk about how this chronic stress contributes to people avoiding preventive care, delaying diagnosis, and experiencing worsening health conditions as a result. This conversation connects anti-fat bias, mental health, eating disorders, and healthcare avoidance, naming how the system often blames fat bodies for the very harm it causes. Intersectionality: Fatness, Gender, Queerness, and Neurodivergence A major focus of this episode is intersectionality. Vinny shares how anti-fatness intersected with being trans, nonbinary, queer, neurodivergent, and disabled, and how shame around body size limited access to identity exploration and self-expression. We talk about how weight stigma compounds oppression, especially for people with multiple marginalized identities. We also discuss how white privilege can reduce some harms while never eliminating weight-based discrimination, and why weight-inclusive healthcare must address racism, transphobia, ableism, and fatphobia together. What Weight-Inclusive Healthcare Actually Requires We challenge the idea that good intentions equal good care. This section explores what weight-inclusive healthcare truly requires, including provider education, consent-based weighing, size-inclusive furniture and equipment, respectful language, and accountability when harm occurs. We discuss why many providers believe they are weight-inclusive while continuing to practice weight-centered and stigmatizing care. Unlearning Anti-Fatness, Shame, and Diet Culture We close with guidance for beginning the process of unlearning anti-fatness. Vinny shares how shame thrives in isolation and how bringing it into the light reduces its power. We discuss diet culture, binary thinking, and how critical thinking helps people question harmful beliefs about weight, health, morality, and worth. This episode invites listeners to ask who benefits when people are taught to hate their bodies, and how compassion, curiosity, and community support healing. Who This Episode Is For This episode is for fat people, eating disorder survivors, clinicians, healthcare providers, and anyone who wants to understand how weight stigma in healthcare causes harm and what needs to change. About My Guest: Vinny Welsby (They/Them) Vinny Welsby is a fat activist, DEI leader, TEDx speaker, bestselling author of Fierce Fatty, and host of the Fierce Fatty Podcast. They work with individuals through Fierce Fatty and with organizations through Weight Inclusive Consulting, providing education and training on dismantling anti-fat bias in healthcare and beyond.

Disconnected from your body in ND chaos? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April explores quantum human design for neurodivergent reconnection with Dr. Karen Parker, Human Design/Quantum Human Design expert (psychology/holistic health background, founder of Quantum Human Design™). Integrating ancient wisdom/quantum physics, Dr. Parker decodes energetic blueprints for growth—workshops/courses/consults empowering authentic purpose/societal harmony. Key insights: Body disconnection: Epidemic from kindergarten (overstim/shame, "treehouse" numbness); leads to distractions (TV/phone/food) to avoid pain. Micro-trauma: Not just big events—shaming needs (e.g., bathroom denial) teaches "unsafe to be me"; compounds to burnout (body refuses mask). Redefine value: Shift from material/numerical (money/size) to preciousness (once-in-lifetime cosmic event)—nurture self like royal gems. Quantum human design: High-frequency language rewires stories (photon storms/neurotransmitters); hero's journey (creative writing/dance) upgrades victim to victor, boosts immunity/creativity. Healing steps: Compassion without judgment ("ready for change"); rest/outdoors/body listening; frequency physics (high vibe pulls others up—influential/authentic living). ND application: Burnout from masking (exhaustion trying to fit); safe embodiment for empaths/sensitives—rewrite low-frequency trauma narratives. For autistic/ADHD in overwhelm/isolation, Dr. Parker's blueprint: "Preciousness heals—get in body, rewrite story."

In this episode, Ashley welcomes close friend, community builder, and "Vulnerable AF" workshop creator Veronica Kaulinis for a powerful and heartfelt conversation on vulnerability, self-honesty, and authentic connection. As My Space enters a meaningful transition, this wrap-up conversation invites listeners into a deeper exploration of what it truly means to be seen, by others and by yourself. Veronica shares her personal evolution from wearing emotional "masks" in relationships to creating spaces where honesty, courage, and intimacy can thrive. Ashley and Veronica dive into the real work of vulnerability: why it feels risky, why we avoid it, and how choosing honesty can transform our relationships. They unpack common blocks like fear of conflict, fear of being "too much," and fear of losing love, while offering grounded, practical tools to navigate difficult conversations with integrity. This episode is a reminder that vulnerability isn't about oversharing, it's about taking responsibility, telling the truth, and creating connection through presence and repair.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: • Why self-honesty is the foundation of vulnerability and authentic connection • How wearing "masks" in relationships disconnects us,  and how to stop • Powerful journaling prompts to uncover what you're not saying and why • How to have brave, uncomfortable conversations without abandoning yourself • The role of somatic experiencing and authentic relating in emotional intimacy • Common fears that block vulnerability, including conflict, messiness, and loss • What "repair conversations" are and how they can heal relational ruptures • Why taking responsibility beats victimhood in building trust and intimacy • How vulnerability with yourself creates deeper, more fulfilling relationships   This episode is for anyone craving deeper connection, struggling with honesty in relationships, or ready to stop performing and start showing up as their true self, whether in love, friendship, community, or personal growth.

Join us this week as we sit down with Rebecca Pearce, a personal executive coach based in Baltimore, Maryland, who shares her incredible journey from high-powered CEO to finding a life defined by joy and purpose. Rebecca recounts her rise to becoming the nation's first Health Benefit Exchange CEO in 2011, a role she poured her life into for two years before losing it very publicly in 2013. This loss of professional identity was followed by a life-threatening health crisis when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor the size of a ping-pong ball. The grueling surgery and subsequent recovery—which included partial paralysis and hearing loss—served as a definitive wake-up call, shifting her focus from titles and money to the simple, profound joy of being present for her family. Rebecca now uses her experience to help other successful individuals navigate their own transformations through her coaching and her new book, You Don't Have to Achieve to be Loved. She details her four-phase change process: Unfortunate Awareness, Mourning the Past, One Foot In, One Foot Out, and finally, Clearly Me. By blending executive strategy with deep emotional work, Rebecca guides her clients—like a pastor she recently helped transition into a new calling—to balance their passions with realistic financial planning. She defines an empowered woman as someone who understands their inner self and has the courage to give voice to their truths, regardless of external expectations.

Creating Organizational Cultures That Actually Work In this episode, Michael and cultural anthropologist Jitske Kramer dive deep into the heart of organizational culture. Michael shares a story from a startup he supported, where a crystal clear sense of purpose created unity, loyalty, and a genuine feeling of belonging. Employees stayed because they felt connected to something bigger than a job description. Jitske expands on this by highlighting how leaders shape culture through the behaviors, values, and norms they model. She stresses that culture is never an accident. It is a series of daily choices and conversations. When leaders fail to engage with their teams or invite them into meaningful decision making, organizations lose clarity and people lose their sense of belonging. Both Michael and Jitske agree that leaders miss countless opportunities to build trust simply because they are not intentionally engaging with their people. Transformative Leadership and the Power of Human Connection Michael brings up a powerful metaphor involving an orchestra conductor to show how communication and knowledge flow can transform the relationship between leaders and their teams. When the conductor shifts from directing to connecting, the entire ensemble transforms. The energy changes. People take ownership. Collaboration becomes natural rather than forced. Jitske builds on this idea by contrasting transactional interactions with transformative ones. Transactional moments keep the lights on, but transformative moments build the future. She emphasizes the need for what she calls campfire conversations. These are the unhurried, human centered discussions where ideas form, trust deepens, and innovation actually has space to emerge. They conclude that the most successful organizations are the ones that prioritize human to human connection over rigid systems and corporate scripts. Finding Clarity in the Messy Middle of Change Jitske introduces her latest book, Tricky Times, which explores liminality. Liminality refers to the messy middle stage of change when the old story no longer works and the new story is not yet formed. She describes this phase as uncomfortable but deeply necessary. She explains that societies worldwide are wrestling with a kind of midlife crisis. People are questioning the expectation of nonstop economic growth and the conflict it creates with environmental and social realities. In these liminal spaces, power dynamics shift. Cultural identities get rewritten. Leaders are challenged to redefine what truly matters. Michael shares how timely these insights feel, especially given the current political climate in the United States and abroad. He highlights how difficult but essential conversations shape whether we move forward with intention or stay stuck in old patterns. Leading with Courage in Tricky Times Jitske describes the leadership challenges she writes about in Tricky Times. She warns against leaders who act like tricksters, constantly pushing boundaries without offering guidance or stability. True leadership requires bold honesty, grounded decision making, and the willingness to enter uncomfortable conversations. She emphasizes that balanced leadership is essential. Leaders must be willing to question assumptions, tell the truth about what is working and what is not, and invite their organizations into deeper reflection. Tricky Times has become a bestseller in the Netherlands, and Jitske is sharing its message with influential political leaders who are navigating uncertainty on a national scale. The book is available as an e-book on Amazon and offers a grounded, human centered framework for leading through cultural transformation. Jitske Kramer is a renowned Dutch corporate anthropologist who translates real-world lessons from communities around the globe into practical tools for modern workplaces.    She travels the world to learn from traditional healers, innovators, random passers-by, and everyday communities, studying how humans bond, lead, and resolve conflict — and brings those insights into the boardroom.   Her latest book, Tricky Times (a #1 Dutch bestseller), explores what it takes to lead in “the messy middle” — those uncertain in-between phases where old systems break down before new ones emerge.    With 25+ years of experience, she has shaped transformation for Nike, Unilever, Calvin Klein, and Philips, authored 9 bestselling books (150,000+ copies sold), and spoken alongside Simon Sinek, Amy Edmondson, Yuval Noah Harari on stages like TEDx and Workhuman Live.   Jitske's sharp, funny, and “aha”-filled style makes anthropology highly accessible for leaders facing change, culture challenges, and transformation.   Topics:  The messy middle: Leading effectively through uncertainty and liminal times The real drivers of company culture: Rituals, symbols, and hidden power structures How to “think like an anthropologist” to sense change and spot unseen dynamics The difference between formal power and cultural power — and why rank-awareness is critical for leaders What tribes can teach today's organizations about handling dilemmas and conflict   More about Jitske:  Founder of HumanDimensions, a pioneering training company that helps organizations strengthen teamwork and company culture.  Featured in the Patterns of Life documentary series, in which she traveled to India as an anthropologist.  Former Fellow at the Oxford Leadership Academy; holds a master's degree in cultural anthropology from Utrecht University.  Other books by Jitske: Building Tribes, Wow! What a Difference, Work Has Left the Building, Jam Cultures, andThe Corporate Tribe (which won the prestigious 2016 Management book of the Year Award). Take a look at Jitske's keynotes, other public speeches, TV appearances, and writings.    To get a sense of Jitske, here's an appearance she made on The Culture Lab podcast, talking about the making of a corporate tribe and how to effectively deal with diversity in a team.
