Many of us quietly accept the idea that our best self lives somewhere in the past — that youth is the ideal and aging is a slow erosion of who we really are. But what if getting older isn't about losing our identity, but deepening it? What if the second half of life could be defined not by decline, but by “joyspan”—our capacity for meaning, connection, and contentment as we age?Our guest on this episode is gerontologist and author Kerry Burnight, PhD. As a professor at the University of California, Irvine School of Medicine, Dr. Burnight spent 16 years caring for older adults suffering neglect and abuse. She co-founded the nation's first Elder Abuse Forensic Center, bringing together medicine, adult protective services, and law enforcement to protect vulnerable older adults. Her search for how to help people not just avoid harm, but truly thrive into their later decades led to her work on joyspan, culminating in her New York Times best-selling book Joyspan: The Art and Science of Thriving in Life's Second Half (2025). Her work has been featured in outlets including The New York Times, The Guardian, BBC News, and Forbes Health.Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Burnight details the experience of working with older adults suffering from neglect and abuse, the importance of team camaraderie for getting through dark moments, and the need to humanize people going through dehumanizing situations. We discuss joyspan as well-being and fulfillment combined with longevity; how focusing on growing, connecting, adapting, and giving can increase joyspan; how the internalized belief that we have less to offer as we age threatens joyspan; and how older adults are uniquely positioned to contribute to society. Dr. Burnight reminds us that joyspan is a health habit, and the best time to start focusing on this health habit is today.In this episode, you'll hear about: 3:00 - The story behind the first Elder Abuse Forensics Center11:45 - Dr. Burnight's advice for frontline workers navigating cases of elder abuse15:05 - How social connection improves health outcomes 24:00 - Defining joy and how joy can coexist with aging33:15 - How our personal outlook on aging can impact our aging experience 44:30 - The four elements of joyspan 48:30 - Ways to build meaning into your life If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

David Choe is a world-renowned artist, writer, podcaster and TV host. He tells how as a child, he was made to believe he was destined for greatness but also that he was a complete disgrace, leading him to channel his energy—including deep shame—into art that brought him global recognition. He shares about his addictions that put him on a decades-long cycle of extreme highs and lows and that forced him to eventually acknowledge and heal the childhood trauma he was battling inside. David shows up with raw, authentic presence to show us how we can transmute pain and shame into our best creative work and, more importantly, how complete vulnerability, especially about our hardest experiences, is the ultimate tool for forgiveness and self-acceptance. He also tells us the actual story about early Facebook, Pee-wee Herman and Santa Claus. Note: This conversation includes topics and language that may not be suitable for younger audiences.

Episode Description What happens when the career that once defined you no longer fits—or ends entirely? In this episode of the BOSS Business of Surgery Series, host Dr. Amy Vertrees sits down with Elizabeth Parsons, former Wall Street lawyer and author of Encore: A High Achiever's Guide to Thriving in Retirement. Elizabeth shares her deeply personal journey of leaving a prestigious legal career at age 35, only to discover that financial security alone was not enough to replace the identity, structure, and purpose her work had provided. Together, Amy and Elizabeth explore why high-achieving professionals—especially those in service fields like medicine and law—often struggle with retirement or major career transitions. Elizabeth introduces the concept of “identity bridging” and explains why retirement isn't just a financial decision, but a psychological and emotional one. This conversation challenges the idea of retirement as an “ending” and reframes it as a new graduation—an opportunity to intentionally design a next chapter filled with meaning, agency, and fulfillment. If you're a surgeon or professional thinking about retirement, scaling back, or simply wondering “what's next?”, this episode offers powerful insights and practical guidance. What You'll Learn Why high achievers excel as “reactors” but struggle to become “creators” of their own lives The concept of identity bridging and why retirement disrupts more than just your schedule The three motivational pillars of identity: communion, agency, and cohesion Why staying too long can diminish a career—and why “leaving on top” matters How to develop new internal metrics for success beyond professional recognition Why retirement planning should begin at least two years before your exit How to experiment with new interests without needing immediate competence or validation Why succession planning is emotionally harder than most professionals expect Timestamps / Chapters 00:00:02 – Elizabeth Parsons' journey from Wall Street lawyer to retirement transition expert 00:04:21 – From problem-solver to life designer: reactor vs. creator 00:06:06 – Identity bridging and the three motivational properties 00:08:31 – Common pitfalls: why career-adjacent options often fall flat 00:11:11 – Creating new metrics for success without external applause 00:13:46 – Finding your “second curve” and rediscovering dormant interests 00:18:25 – Life restructuring after work: avoiding “365 Saturdays” 00:21:39 – Knowing when it's time to retire—and why leaving on top matters 00:24:53 – Succession planning and the emotional difficulty of handing over the reins 00:32:29 – Elizabeth's programs, intensives, and resources Action Items Begin thinking about retirement or major transitions at least two years in advance Identify how your current identity is tied to belonging, agency, and routine Create personal definitions of a “great day” that don't rely on professional validation Pay attention to persistent annoyance with work—it may be a signal, not a flaw Explore interests with curiosity and experimentation, not immediate mastery Resources & Links Encore: A High Achiever's Guide to Thriving in Retirement by Elizabeth Parsons Learn more about Elizabeth's programs: highachieverretirement.com Connect with Elizabeth on LinkedIn About the Guest Elizabeth Parsons is a former Wall Street lawyer and the founder of High Achiever Retirement.

In this episode, Sherry talks with Amy Stein, an herbalist, energy medicine educator, trauma-informed breathwork facilitator, and motivational speaker, to explore what it really means to heal — beyond symptoms, diagnoses, and willpower.This episode is a powerful reminder that your body is not broken — it's communicating.What You'll Hear in This EpisodeAmy shares her personal journey of growing up immersed in Western medicine, only to find herself chronically ill in her mid-20s — mirroring the very patients she once worked with. What followed was years of unanswered questions, standardized protocols, and the painful realization that being “too sensitive” was never the problem.Together, Sherry and Amy unpack the deeper layers of healing — trauma, safety, energy, breath, and the body's innate intelligence.Key Topics We Explore:1. When the Body Speaks — and No One ListensAmy describes what it's like to experience invisible illness and autoimmune symptoms in a system that only validates what it can measure. This conversation will resonate deeply with anyone who has felt dismissed, unseen, or told “everything looks normal” when it clearly isn't.2. Trauma Isn't Just What Happened — It's the Body's ResponseThis episode gently dismantles the idea that trauma has to be “big” to be real.Trauma can be grief, chronic stress, dieting, emotional suppression, or even daily traffic.The body doesn't distinguish between past and present — or perceived and real threats.What matters is how the nervous system responds.3. Safety, the Nervous System & Why Healing Can Feel ImpossibleSherry and Amy explore why true healing can't happen in fight, flight, freeze, or fawn — and why so many people stay stuck in survival mode for decades.You'll hear how:Restriction (including dieting) can be traumatic to the bodyFeeling unsafe in your body drives self-sabotageThe body prioritizes survival over thrivingAnd why learning to feel safe again is foundational for healing, weight regulation, and emotional freedom.4. Why Awareness Alone Isn't EnoughMany people in therapy develop deep awareness of their triggers — yet remain stuck. Amy explains how repeatedly retelling trauma without engaging the body can actually re-traumatize the nervous system, and why healing must include the physical and energetic body — not just the mind.5. Breathwork: The Most Accessible Healing Tool We HaveBreathwork becomes the heart of this episode.Amy explains why breath is so powerful:It directly regulates the nervous systemIt brings awareness back into the bodyIt requires no equipment, no story, and no perfectionUnlike meditation, breathwork allows movement, sound, emotion, and release — giving the body permission to process what it's been holding for years.6. Energy Medicine, Ancient Wisdom & Trusting What You Can't SeeThis conversation bridges ancient healing systems — herbalism, meridians, energy medicine — with modern nervous system science.Amy shares how combining:Plant medicineEnergy medicineBreathworkTrauma-informed supportcreated the breakthroughs that traditional medicine never could.Powerful TakeawaysYour body is not failing — it's communicatingTrauma is stored energy that needs movement, not suppressionHealing requires safety, not forceThe body leads; the mind followsSimple tools can create profound shiftsYou don't need to be “fixed” — you need to be supportedClosing ReflectionHealing isn't about arriving at a destination — it's about learning how to meet yourself with awareness, compassion, and trust.As Amy reminds us:“As long as you're in a physical body, healing is part of the journey.”This episode is an invitation to stop outsourcing your power — and begin listening to the wisdom that's been within you all along.

Mary Houle runs two careers simultaneously - data analyst by day, fractional CFO by night. But it wasn't a VP laughing at her desire to "build relationships" that sparked her entrepreneurial leap. It was realizing she could help creative business owners stop avoiding the one thing keeping them stuck: their numbers. In this episode we dive into:​ Why looking at your P&L feels harder than learning a new instrument (and the practice routine that changes everything)​ The real math behind leaving your 9-5 that no one talks about on Instagram​ How "making 10K" became the most misleading goal in online businessThe Creative Avoidance Pattern​ You're generating sales and the business feels like it's working, so checking the numbers seems unnecessary (until it's not)​ That anxiety about opening your bank account isn't about the math - it's about facing whether your current pace is actually sustainable​ The same discipline that makes finance uncomfortable is what turns random income months into predictable growth​ Your business surviving so far doesn't mean it's structured to scale next yearFrom Spreadsheets to Strategy​ Setting up your LLC and basic P&L from day one isn't perfectionism - it's the difference between building a hobby and building a business​ The profit and loss statement is just the puzzle pieces showing how you get to your actual take-home cash each month​ Forecasting doesn't have to be complicated: start with your sales trend, factor in launches or new products, set realistic monthly targets​ Working with a financial professional early prevents the expensive mess of cleaning up two years of avoidance laterThe Fractional Advantage​ Traditional consultants give you ideas from 30,000 feet and disappear - fractional officers are in the weeds running plays with you​ You need someone who sees the end result of their suggestions, not just someone who points out opportunities and leaves​ The "charge your worth" narrative has made people afraid of offering introductory periods, but sometimes free work upfront unlocks revenue you couldn't access alone​ Being integrated into the business means having actual skin in the game, not just presenting strategy decksThis conversation reminds us that avoiding your numbers doesn't make them go away - it just makes the gap between where you are and where you want to be harder to close.

This episode is both a beginning and an ending.Thriving Woman has been a sacred chapter of my life—a space where I explored healing, embodiment, womanhood, and growth as honestly as I knew how at the time. It held real beauty, real insight, and real longing. And it also carried questions I didn't yet have language for.In this final—and first—episode, I'm sharing what I couldn't have shared before.Not a rebrand.Not a pivot strategy.But a testimony.I speak openly about my journey out of New Age spirituality and into a living, relational faith with Jesus Christ. About what shifted internally. About what no longer aligned. About how grace met me not when I perfected myself—but when I finally stopped striving.This episode isn't a rejection of the women who found support here, nor of the season that was. It's an honoring of truth as it unfolded. A laying down of what once served me, in order to walk forward obediently and honestly.Thriving Woman was never wrong—it was incomplete.And this goodbye is not rooted in shame, but in clarity.If you've walked alongside me here, thank you.If you're confused, you're not alone.If you feel the stirring of questions you can't quite name yet—so did I.This is the closing of one chapter… and the quiet beginning of another.Thriving Woman is over - but Embers of Grace Podcast is just beginning

In this episode, we sit down with Sue Stewart, a 36-year survivor of acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and the founder of BMT InfoNet. Sue walks us through her transplant journey, beginning with a difficult diagnosis in the late 1980s and the grueling induction chemotherapy that followed. With limited treatment options, she opted for an autologous bone marrow transplant—a relatively new and uncertain procedure at the time. Despite the intense side effects, including confusion and delusions, Sue recovered and slowly rebuilt her life. Her story is one of strength and long-term resilience, shaped by medical challenges and a determination to help others facing similar paths.After surviving her transplant, Sue felt driven to understand her experience and quickly saw the gap in patient-centered information. A high-profile court case involving bone marrow donation misinformation pushed her to act. In response, she started a small newsletter to provide reliable, understandable transplant information. What began with 700 names (pre-Internet) grew rapidly and became BMT InfoNet, an organization that now supports over 20,000 people weekly with resources, educational content, and peer support.We explore how GVHD care has transformed over the decades. Sue outlines progress in diagnostics, treatment options, and the move away from long-term steroid reliance. Her organization has helped shift the focus beyond survival to long-term quality of life, leading to the creation of survivorship clinics and a deeper understanding of transplant-related complications.Sue introduces us to BMT InfoNet's key programs, including Caring Connections, which matches patients and caregivers with peers based on similar experiences. We also learn about their online, professionally moderated support groups, offered to different patient communities. These groups have been instrumental in helping individuals process their experiences and stay connected.The organization's educational materials and annual survivorship symposium continue to empower patients to become active members of their care teams. Sue emphasizes the importance of recognizing symptoms early, understanding treatment options, and advocating for proper care—especially for GVHD, which many local doctors may not fully understand.Finally, Sue shares the story of how one patient's experience with ocular GVHD and scleral lenses led to a wider medical breakthrough. It's a powerful reminder of how patients can change the landscape of care by sharing their stories. BMT InfoNet's mission remains clear: provide support, share knowledge, and give voice to those on the transplant journey.BMT InfoNet: https://www.bmtinfonet.orgContact Email: help@bmtinfonet.orgThanks to our Season 19 sponsors, Incyte and Sanofi.https://incyte.com/https://www.sanofi.com/en00:40 - Introduction to Sue Stewart01:15 - Sue's AML Diagnosis and Transplant Story06:33 - Founding BMT InfoNet10:05 - Life Before the Internet: Lack of Resources12:43 - Progress in GVHD Treatment15:25 - Peer Support Through Caring Connections17:16 - Online Moderated Support Groups18:58 - Educational Resources on GVHD21:57 - GVHD Specialist Directory24:05 - Annual Survivorship Symposium26:17 - Financial Assistance for Patients27:39 - GVHD Wall of Hope and National GVHD Day30:01 - Final Story: How Patient Experience Changed GVHD Care National Bone Marrow Transplant Link - (800) LINK-BMT, or (800) 546-5268.nbmtLINK Website: https://www.nbmtlink.org/nbmtLINK Facebook Page: https://www.facebook.com/nbmtLINKFollow the nbmtLINK on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/nbmtlink/The nbmtLINK YouTube Page can be found by clicking here.To participate in the GVHD Mosaic, click here: https://amp.livemosaics.com/gvhd Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

As the year winds down, I love slowing things down a bit, opening my 2026 Thriving in Motherhood Planner, working through the vision section, and taking time to reflect on what actually stayed with me this year. One of my favorite parts of that process is reviewing the books I read. This year, I read over 60 books. When I sat down to reflect, I narrowed that list first to the ones that truly stood out, and then distilled it even further to my top favorites across fiction, memoir, nonfiction, and a small handful of self-help books that genuinely impacted how I live day to day. In this episode, I'm sharing: The fiction series that gave me deep, genuine belly laughs at the end of long days The nonfiction and memoirs that expanded how I think about resilience, perspective, history, and human experience The self-help books that actually changed my habits, not just my ideas How I choose what to read in different seasons of life (especially as a homeschooling mom of five) These are the books that shaped how I think, how I rest, how I parent, and how I move into a new year with intention, without pressure to read more, faster, or "better."

“I never thought I was going to have kids here… that wouldn't have even crossed my mind.” — Claire SimpsonThis episode with Claire really opened my eyes to a side of Vietnam I've never personally experienced but have always been curious about — what it's actually like to be an expat parent here. I've interviewed entrepreneurs, creatives, teachers, founders… but motherhood is a whole different universe.There were parts of this episode that surprised me, like how many expats assume you can't buy diapers or formula here, or the fact that kindergarten can start as early as 6–9 months. And then the nanny story… wow. It's one of the wildest behind-the-scenes expat-life stories I've ever heard on the podcast.But the biggest takeaway for me is this: Vietnam can absolutely be an amazing place to raise a child — as long as you're prepared, informed, and connected.Key Talking PointsWhat maternity care in Vietnam is really like for expats — including costs, translation challenges, medical tests, and choosing the right hospital.How motherhood impacts identity abroad — from postpartum depression to losing parts of yourself to rebuilding routines and confidence.Practical realities of raising a kid in Vietnam — baby supplies, pollution, infrastructure, kindergartens, and accessing play areas.How Vietnamese culture treats children — the warmth, attention, and openness families receive everywhere they go.The truth about hiring a nanny in Vietnam — a raw story about contracts, misunderstandings, emotional conflict, and what expat parents need to know.Episode Chapters & Timestamps02:50 — Awards, Identity & Pregnancy Claire talks about influencer awards, losing parts of her identity, and finding out she was pregnant.06:30 — Navigating Healthcare & Maternity Packages We dive into hospitals, costs, tests, translators, and what the maternity journey looks like in Vietnam.12:50 — Motherhood Without Family Support The emotional and practical challenges of being an expat mum, postpartum depression, and building a “tribe.”17:45 — Raising Kids in Vietnam: Food, Formula, Kindergartens & Safety Diapers, play areas, pollution, sidewalks, cultural attitudes toward children — the full picture.28:30 — The Nanny Story: Contracts, Conflict & Lessons Learned Claire shares the dramatic and eye-opening experience of hiring a nanny and the advice she wishes she had known."Send me a message!"Support the show

Exhausted from ND grind overload? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April explores mindful energy for neurodivergent burnout with Chris Vasiliadis, former systems engineer/instructional designer/Director of Performance Improvement turned burnout buster/health coach (18 years). MS diagnosis (2006) sparked his shift to energizing routines—Qigong/MBSR/3R rescue—focusing on sustainable thriving without chronic exhaustion, aligning actions/values for whole-hearted well-being. Key insights: MS journey: Year of "lab rat" tests (gluten sensitivity/naps), conscious energy management (Qigong for meridians). Mindful energy: Purposeful present attention without judgment (grounding/foot sensations, white space on calendar). Routines for dysfunction/overwhelm: Pause/reground (breathe/stretch/outdoor panoramic views), 16-90 min breaks (not rewards—necessities). Aligning actions/values: Self-compassion over perfectionism (grace for pace, delegate/delay to-dos). Book "Ignition": Self-coach burnout-proof (energy list/3R: remove/reduce/respond drains; bake energizers first). Unpredictable life: Expect chaos (reground: "What's next wise choice?"), community for support (no stagnation—daily joy notes). Thriving normal: Sane pace (role models of measured living), human beings not doings (buffers/transitions). For autistic/ADHD young adults in executive dysfunction/isolation, Chris's systems/patterns: "Honor humanness—small steps sustain." Free resources at prioritywellness.com.

Have you ever wondered if your love for music and voice could turn into a thriving private practice? Today's guest shows us it's possible—and how to do it while keeping flexibility and control over your life.Joining me is Rachel Goldenberg, a speech-language pathologist, clinical voice specialist, and singing teacher based in Montclair, New Jersey. Rachel's private practice, My Inspired Voice, combines her passion for singing with her expertise in voice therapy, helping clients with everything from vocal health to respiratory challenges.In this episode, Rachel shares her journey from opera-obsessed child to clinical voice expert, how she built a private practice that fits her family and lifestyle, and her tips for anyone ready to take the leap into private practice.Rachel's love for music started early. She began piano lessons at 7 and memorized operas like Carmen and Tosca by age 12, performing them dramatically in her living room. She went on to study at Westminster Choir College in Princeton, New Jersey, where she fell in love with the science of the voice, learning from pioneers in vocal pedagogy.Her career took her through teaching, research on singing and respiratory health, and work with clients with lung disease in Canada. Along the way, she realized that to help clients fully, she needed to expand her skills, which led her to pursue speech-language pathology. Now, her dissertation focused on the use of singing lessons as an adjunctive airway clearance technique for adult cystic fibrosis patients.Through all these experiences, Rachel's passion for voice never wavered—but she also learned the importance of adaptability, continuous learning, and following the right opportunities when they appear.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How her passion for singing led her into voice therapyWhat it was like to return to grad school during COVIDHow she built her private practice and referral networkWhy flexibility has been essential for her familyWith her practice, Rachel has full control over her schedule, enabling her to see clients during traditional hours, early mornings, or late evenings, while still making time for her children and other priorities. Her story is a perfect example of how passion, expertise, and a willingness to take the leap can create a private practice that's both fulfilling and flexible. Whether you're interested in voice, pediatrics, or another specialty, her journey shows that with the right mindset, mentorship, and action, you can build a practice that fits your life and allows you to thrive both professionally and personally.Ready to take control of your career and start your own private practice—just like Rachel did?
