Zum 30-jährigen Jubiläum der VGF ist Ingrid zu Gast, eine Mitarbeiterin der ersten Stunde. Heute leitet sie den Fachbereich Einnahmenmanagement und Vertriebs-IT und bringt dabei nicht nur jahrzehntelange Erfahrung, sondern auch eine familiäre Verbundenheit zum ÖPNV mit. Warum Ingrid von einem Omnibusbetrieb zur VGF wechselte, welche Projekte sie in besonderer Erinnerung behalten hat und wie die VGF-Mitarbeiter:innen vor vielen Jahren die ersten E-Mails geschrieben haben, erzählt Ingrid in der Jubiläumsfolge.

Zum 30-jährigen Jubiläum der VGF ist Patrick zu Gast. Er hat die Gründung der VGF hautnah miterlebt und das Unternehmen in verschiedenen Bereichen und Berufen mitgestaltet: vom Fahrer über die Leitstelle bis zu seiner heutigen Position als stellvertretender Projektleiter eines der größten VGF-Projekte. Warum er vor 30 Jahren von der Deutschen Bahn zur VGF wechselte, welche Entwicklungen ihn besonders geprägt haben und weshalb er dem Unternehmen bis heute treu geblieben ist, erzählt Patrick in der Jubiläumsepisode.

You’ve probably heard the words ‘biofeedback' and ‘neurofeedback' floating around the internet. And you're also probably wondering what they mean and if they're worth your time and money when you have a vestibular disorder. I'm answering all of that in this episode! Biofeedback is a type of mind-body technique to control some of the body's function. And neurofeedback is a type of biofeedback that measures and records brainwaves. As always, I've got research and scenarios for us to talk through to help this really land. They're probably not the first thing you want to invest in and there are even less expensive options that are equally or more effective which I share more about in the episode. Buckle up and let's get a little nerdy with this one! In this episode, we'll dig into: What biofeedback is and how it works What the main types of biofeedback are What neurofeedback is and how it relates to biofeedback The difference between active and passive neurofeedback The two main models of biofeedback that exist What to expect in a biofeedback session What biofeedback is considered effective for Types of neurofeedback and biofeedback sessions, devices, and apps available How to find a qualified biofeedback provider What questions to ask before committing to either option If you want to go even deeper with what you heard in this episode, we have coaching calls specifically about biofeedback and neurofeedback available in Vestibular Group Fit. Biofeedback is a tool, not a cure. But if you’re curious, informed, and financially comfortable exploring it, it absolutely can have a place in your vestibular toolkit.

Heading somewhere with a big elevation change? Good news! Most people living with vestibular disorders actually do really well at altitude. But that doesn’t mean you just show up unprepared and hope for the best. In this episode, I’m breaking down everything you need to know about navigating altitude changes with a vestibular disorder.  From quick pressure shifts like takeoff and landing, to extended stays at higher elevations, I’m sharing what to keep on standby, what to avoid, and why slower adjustments make all the difference. In this episode, we'll dig into: Why most people with vestibular disorders actually feel good at altitude Tools for quick pressure changes like takeoff, landing, and steep elevation drives The difference between earplanes & WeatherX earplugs Why slower ascents make a huge difference and how to pace your elevation Medications to ask your doctor about before travel Why you most definitely want to rethink alcohol at elevation What self-care tips still apply at altitude The research behind nature being great for your nervous system My thoughts on oxygen bars and vestibular disorders Altitude changes don’t have to derail your trip! With the right prep, the right toolkit, and a slower ascent, you absolutely can enjoy the mountain tops.

If you’ve ever tried to do too much, crashed hard, and then felt like you were back at square one—this episode is for you. I’m talking about two of the most important concepts we teach in Vestibular Group Fit: scaling and pacing. It cannot be stressed enough how important this is and how much we talk about it in VGF. Scaling and pacing aren’t about doing less forever. They’re about building capacity strategically so you can eventually do MORE without paying for it for days afterward. I’m walking you through real-life examples of how to scale movement, exercise routines, walking, driving, and other daily activities — plus what to do on higher symptom days and post-attack so you can recover faster and get back to living your life. In this episode, we'll dig into: What scaling and pacing actually mean and how they're different Why you should never increase more than 10% at a time How to scale things like strength training, walking, and driving The difference between “immediate” responders and “hangover” responders Real-life pacing strategies you can add into your day-to-day life How to scale down on post-attack or high symptom days The 30-day to 30-minute return to walk program results from VGF Summer consistency challenge details for Vestibular Group Fit members Whether it’s exercise, grocery shopping, driving, or attending your nephew’s graduation—the same principles apply. Scaling and pacing are skills. As with any skill, it takes time, practice, and a whole lot of grace and patience with yourself.

Melina arbeitet seit fünf Jahren bei der VGF. Angefangen hat sie als Schienenbahnfahrerin, heute ist die gelernte KFZ-Mechatronikerin als Fahrleitungsmonteurin im Einsatz – und damit die einzige Frau in Deutschland in diesem Beruf. In welchem der beiden Jobs man mehr von Frankfurt sieht, zu welcher Tageszeit sie am liebsten arbeitet und ob ihr Herz eher für türkise Bahnen oder orange Arbeitsfahrzeuge schlägt, erzählt Milena in der aktuellen Episode.

Angelica ist bei der VGF die neue Expertin für Gleichstellung und Diversität. Nach ihrem Studium in Kolumbien und Deutschland sowie Stationen in verschiedenen Beratungsunternehmen hat sie ihren Weg in den ÖPNV gefunden – und war davon schnell begeistert. In dieser Folge erzählt sie, was sie nach ihrem Einstieg bei der VGF am meisten überrascht hat, welche Ideen und Pläne sie für den Diversity-Monat Mai mitbringt und warum U-Bahnen auch in ihrem Privatleben eine besondere Rolle spielen.

We do SO much inside Vestibular Group Fit! So much that I'm not even sure how to talk about it half the time. For example… we have a book club! We recently read The Way Out.  It's a book by Alan Gordon about chronic pain, which parallels a lot of useful concepts to look at chronic dizziness.  So many members in VGF love this book and when they first read it go “WOW I feel seen!” So… let's talk about it. In this episode, we'll dig into: Why The Way Out is a book that's relevant to dizziness How the body interprets pain What the pain reprocessing theory is How the pain-fear-pain cycle keeps you stuck How the concept of miswiring for chronic pain is similar to chronic dizziness The differences between chronic pain and chronic dizziness What to remember about mindset as new pathways develop This is a great book that explains a nuanced topic very well in easy-to-read language, and has many parallels to dizziness that makes this a great resource for anyone with a vestibular disorder! I get a ton of people wondering if they'll be able to travel or drive or [insert your activity here] again. The answer is always and consistently: YES. The thing you have to note is that it will take time, consistency, and the right tools. VGF member, Diana, was able to take an 8-day trip out-of-the-country!  Grab the tools she and hundreds of other members have used to get back to the things they so desperately wanted to. → JOIN VESTIBULAR GROUP FIT!

Gentle movement—and movement in general—should be a part of everyone's toolkit. Whether it be for rest and recovery, a tool to help with something specific like travel, or a way to channel out excess energy or anxiety… gentle movement is incredibly beneficial for everyone. I'm sharing several different gentle movement and exercise ideas you can pull from and test out for yourself. In this episode, we'll dig into: Who can benefit from gentle movement Different types of gentle movement exercises Ideal times or circumstances to try gentle movements What to do if a gentle movement you like “isn't working” Find one or two that you like and keep on your list to try. If there's an area that interests you, start there! If the ones you typically like don't work for a certain situation, come back to the list to see what other options you can try.

We've had a coaching call around this topic, people are always asking questions about it, and I want to share this information with you, too! Today we're talking about: Status Migrainosus. Know going into this that it's one of those things where building a toolkit (which we help you do inside Vestibular Group Fit) is essential. I'm sharing what status migrainosus is, what may or may not work for you, and context to help you work with your doctor. In this episode, we'll dig into: What status migrainosus is The phases of migraine What additional treatment options are available How to create a status migrainosus plan with your doctor Who to work with if you're still not established with a neurologist You can work from chronic migraine to episodic! (Just like you heard in the win of the week in this episode.) Be kind to yourself. It can be common to feel “off” from a status migrainosus attack, but may feel different compared to attacks that are typically handled with your usual tools. Keep your doctor informed, take it slow, and remember VGF is here for you whenever you need/want to jump in.

You might be familiar with the placebo effect, which is the opposite of the nocebo effect. The nocebo effect is how negative expectations about how medical encounters can produce negative outcomes. And, as we've talked about before, your brain is a prediction machine. That's literally its job! So what does this actually look like in everyday life, how can it impact vestibular disorders, and the role mindset plays in the impact of the nocebo effect. In this episode, we'll dig into: How side effects play a role in the nocebo effect Examples of the prediction method in action What research reveals about the impact of the nocebo effect How asking better questions can lessen the impact of the nocebo effect When your brain is told something, it will believe it. As humans, we're designed to find the negatives. And we know that about ourselves, so we need to then intentionally decide that we're going to shift the way we think about things.

“I woke up one day and my whole world was spinning—and it hasn't stopped since.” I'd love to introduce you to Juli, a Vestibular Group Fit member! She's here to tell you her story—including:How she waited over 3 years to be seen by a neurologist.What she got out of last year's Vestibular Virtual Summit.And how she flew to Vegas for a trip this year! I know it can be so supportive to hear other peoples' success stories of being able to successfully live—and thrive—with a vestibular disorder. These are some of my favorite conversations to have! In this episode, we'll dig into: Juli's backstory & her experience with chronic dizziness Her very recent vestibular disorder diagnosis How Juli knew something was wrong What type of treatment Juli has had since her diagnosis What Juli wants others to know about the VNG balance test What led Juli to Dr Madison & VGF The importance of identifying your triggers How VGF has positively impacted Juli's life What Juli does regularly to build a bigger bucket How Juli started to ask for help & build a support system “I'm not alone, there's a community in Vestibular Group Fit.” You're likely already doing some things right, just like Juli with her toolkit (before she knew they were a real thing). In VGF, you get to build on that!  In group, you discover new tools to add to that toolkit, better advice for your unique situation, and you're able to rebuild that self-trust that's been eroded by time and healthcare providers telling you “nothing is wrong” when clearly—there is.

PPPD (AKA: persistent postural perceptual dizziness) is a chronic form of dizziness which is very manageable. But everyone wants to know “is there a cure for PPPD?”  To get to that answer, we've got to go all the way back to the beginning to uncover why PPPD is happening in the first place. Because PPPD is always caused by another underlying diagnosis. It's both under and overly diagnosed—and this episode is built to be a resource for you. So you can finally feel empowered to understand what's going on and what to do about it next. In this episode, we'll dig into: What persistent postural perceptual dizziness (PPPD) is What symptoms are mistakenly associated with PPPD What generally makes PPPD better or worse Places and events that are more challenging with PPPD What usually triggers PPPD How PPPD is diagnosed Personality types that are more likely to have PPPD Why dizziness and anxiety are so closely linked If there is a cure for PPPD What the Wheel of Management is The best treatment options for PPPD You do not need to be dizzy everyday for the rest of your life. PPPD is treatable, but you need a treatment plan that works for you.  A great place to start is VGF!

Mittlerweile leitet sie das VGF-Schulprojekt und vermittelt Kindern in Frankfurts Schulen, wie wichtig Aufmerksamkeit im Straßenverkehr ist. Warum ihr diese Aufgabe so am Herzen liegt und wie es sich anfühlt, wieder regelmäßig in die Schule zu gehen, erzählt Manuela in der aktuellen Episode. Außerdem sprechen wir darüber, wie es für sie war, als Teil des VGF-Teams bei einer Tram-EM an den Start zu gehen.

Sascha ist Industriemechaniker und kommt aus einer VGF-Familie – schon als Kind hat er seinen Vater beim Fahren der VGF-Bahnen beobachtet. Heute leitet er in der Stadtbahnzentralwerkstatt die Gruppe Antriebstechnik. Was da genau angetrieben wird, dass es in seinem Gewerk um Millimeterarbeit geht und warum Sascha bei der VGF mehr als nur einen Job macht, erzählt er in der aktuellen Episode. Außerdem beweist er ein gutes Gehör und errät Werkzeuge am Klang – eine echte Werkstattepisode also.

Being in vestibular disorder support groups can be really helpful—at first. But many of them share posts that are anxiety-provoking and over time, these spaces can leave you feeling drained vs empowered. This isn't the case for every single support group out there. But if this is your experience, I want you to know you're not alone in that. This episode is all about vestibular disorder support groups and chronic illness support groups in general. In this episode, we'll dig into: Why people join support groups What the support group experience is often like The pros and cons of being in support groups Why these spaces for healing sometimes turn into negative echo chambers How to vet advice shared in these online communities What makes a support space actually supportive Questions to ask yourself to evaluate groups you're currently in I share so much information for free (here on the podcast, on the blog, etc.) because I want you to be aware. Aware of what can help with your vestibular disorder, what has been scientifically proven, and what your options truly are. We do lots of good things in VGF to set you up for healing and success—wins of the week, challenges, questions with engagement and context. And everything is grounded in nervous system safety with evidence-based, science-backed tools that help you with your vestibular disorder. We do not do toxic positivity in VGF, but we do do regulated realism. Because your nervous system is always listening. The stories you consume become your inner narrative. So be careful about the content you consume and choose spaces that speak to your healing. They're out there—I promise! Links/Resources Mentioned: Vestibular Group Fit (code GROUNDED at checkout!)

Denny ist noch gar nicht lange bei der VGF und gehört trotzdem schon zu zwei Teams: Er ist Fahrgastbegleiter und bringt Menschen, die aus unterschiedlichen Gründen nicht allein mit Bahn und Bus unterwegs sein können oder wollen, von A nach B. Außerdem ist Denny im Bereich „Service und Info“ Ansprechpartner für Fahrgäste und Kund:innen der VGF. Wie seine Arbeitstage aussehen, was ihm daran besonders viel Spaß macht und wie er die Stadt durch seinen Job nochmal neu kennengelernt hat, erzählt er in der aktuellen Episode.

Sebastian ist Kfz-Meister und vor beinahe 10 Jahren vom TÜV zur VGF gekommen. Heute arbeitet er in der Stadtbahnzentralwerkstatt, der Hauptwerkstatt der VGF. Wie häufig Fahrzeuge in die Werkstatt müssen, wie Sebastian und seine Kolleg:innen dafür sorgen, dass die Bahnen der VGF zuverlässig durch Frankfurt fahren und ob es so etwas wie den TÜV auch für Bahnen gibt, erzählt Sebastian in der aktuellen Episode. Damit läutet er auch gleichzeitig eine Premiere ein, denn zum ersten Mal wurde eine Folge des VGF-Podcasts in der Werkstatt aufgenommen – für Sebastian also ein Heimspiel.

Schon als Abiturientin wusste Henriette, dass sie in ihrem Job anderen Menschen helfen will. Heute bietet sie psychosoziale Beratung für alle Mitarbeitenden und Führungskräfte der VGF an und begleitet sie – auf Wunsch – bei unterschiedlichsten Problemen, Herausforderungen und Fragestellungen. Welche Themen dabei besprochen werden, warum Schweigepflicht für Henriette an oberster Stelle steht und wie sie es trotz aller Empathie schafft, nach dem Arbeitstag abzuschalten, erzählt sie in der aktuellen Episode.

Schon als Kind haben Fabian Bahnen und Technik fasziniert. Während er Stadtplanung studierte, hat er für die VGF die Gäste im Frankfurter Ebbelwei-Expreß als Schaffner betreut und Kund:innen im Service-Center beraten. Heute arbeitet er als Referent im Bereich „Kundendienst und Vertrieb“. Wie seine Aufgaben dort aussehen, welche Überschneidungspunkte Stadtplanung und öffentlicher Nahverkehr haben und welchen Traum Fabian sich bei der VGF unbedingt noch erfüllen möchte, erzählt er in der aktuellen Episode.

Sandra hat bei der VGF als Trainee angefangen, im Bereich Rekrutierung und Personalmarketing gearbeitet und leitet heute den Bereich „Operative Beschaffung“. Das heißt: Sie und ihre Kolleg:innen gehen für die VGF shoppen. Und bei einem Verkehrsunternehmen wird sehr viel Material benötigt. Ob sie lieber mit Menschen oder mit Zahlen arbeitet, was der ungewöhnlichste Gegenstand war, den sie mal für die VGF beschafft hat und ob sich der Job auf ihr privates Shoppingverhalten auswirkt, erzählt sie in der aktuellen Episode.

Die Liebe zu großen Fahrzeugen wurde Alex quasi in die Wiege gelegt: Schon sein Vater und sein Großvater arbeiteten in der Werkstatt, in der Alex seine Ausbildung zum Kraftfahrzeugmechatroniker gemacht. Mittlerweile arbeitet er in der Arbeitsvorbereitung der VGF-Stadtbahnzentralwerkstatt. Auch wenn er heute administrative Aufgaben übernimmt, ist er seiner Leidenschaft fürs Schrauben treu geblieben. Was er bei der VGF schon alles erlebt hat, wie er neben Familie und Job zahlreiche Freizeitaktivitäten in seinem Leben unterbekommt und ob vielleicht schon die vierte Generation für einen Job bei der VGF in den Startlöchern steht, erzählt Alex in der aktuellen Episode.

Tugce hat ursprünglich mal als Praktikantin bei der VGF angefangen und gehört heute zum Team der Organisationsentwickler:innen. Sie betrachtet die größten und wichtigsten Projekte der VGF durch eine besondere Brille. Außerdem ist sie bei der VGF Teil des Betriebsrats und des Aufsichtsrats. Das bedeutet: viele Themen, viel Verantwortung und eine gute Organisationfähigkeit. Wie das konkret in ihrem Arbeitsalltag aussieht, warum ihr Gerechtigkeit ein besonderes Anliegen ist und für welche Stadt ihr Herz schlägt, erzählt Tugce in der aktuellen Episode.

Stefan ist als Teamleiter Ansprechpartner für mehr als 50 Kolleg:innen aus dem Fahrdienst und steht ihnen mit Rat und Tat zur Seite. Bevor Stefan die VGF-Bahnen mit dem Befehlsgeber steuerte, schwang er den Löffel – denn ursprünglich ist er ausgebildeter Koch. Der eine oder die andere könnte ihn in Frankfurt schon gesehen haben: Er ist Teil der aktuellen VGF-Kampagne. Ob Stefan eine Lieblingslinie hat, was es bedeutet, wenn er mit dem KIT-Auto unterwegs ist, und wie die VGF mit der Corona-Toilettenpapierkrise umgegangen ist, erzählt Stefan in der aktuellen Episode.

Die Leidenschaft fürs Bahnfahren wurde Denis quasi in die Wiege gelegt: Schon sein Vater war Straßen- und U-Bahnfahrer in Frankfurt. Denis selbst hat bei der VGF bereits als Schienenbahnfahrer, als Fahrtrainer und als Fahrdienstkoordinator gearbeitet und ist mittlerweile in der Dienstzuteilung. Was es mit all diesen Jobs und Aufgaben auf sich hat, wie er dafür sorgt, dass im Fahrdienst jede:r weiß, auf welcher Linie er/sie unterwegs sein wird und ob Dennis ab und zu noch selbst am Befehlsgeber sitzt, erzählt er in der heutigen Episode.

In March, total sales were 241,490 points, with 116,000 points (48%) coming from Grand Flo, and another 71,000 (29%) coming from Riviera. Next highest was BLT at 17,200 and AKV at 12,400 points. Now remember, Grand Floridian sales were for current members only during this time period. However, the 241,000 points was the best month of sales since pre-pandemic numbers - and the best month since April 2019. (It should be noted that Riviera went on sale in March of 2019 - is this coincidence?)
