Good day, this time we do something slighty different while I work myself back into the rhythm. Would love to hear your feedback. First, I want to thank you for your patience and apologize for the long delay. I really missed you.When I'm referring to the storm I'm talking about the many variants of it - your personal life, your surrounding, the world and naturally everything in between. And - of course - everything is interconnected. How your personal life is will influence how you view the world and of course the state of the world impacts you. It is important to recognize what is causing your personal storm, understand how it is done and then how one can counter it. This greatly affects people with PTSD and learning how to protect oneself is crucial.We start with the world - recognizing, your world - recognizing, understanding, countering the world and then countering for your world.Send us a textContact: contactme@johannadraconis.comWebsite: www.johannadraconis.com www.johannadraconis.com/archive-collectionsupport me:https://ko-fi.com/johannadraconishttps://paypal.me/JohannadraconisDiscord/support group: https://discord.io/JohannaDraconishttps://discord.gg/mEAgpqjuhFtwitter: https://twitter.com/JohannaDraconisInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/JohannaDraconis/youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCR_eyifiglAs0knS4huMwoQhttps://www.youtube.com/@johannadraconis reddit archive: https://www.reddit.com/r/DraconisCPTSDarchive/reddit convo: https://www.reddit.com/r/DraconisCPTSDtalk/rss feed: https://feeds.buzzsprout.com/371360.rss

Welcome to another enlightening episode of "Shark Theory" with Baylor Barbee. In today's discussion, Baylor delves into the metaphorical journey of flying through clouds, likening it to the various personal and professional storms we face in life. Using vivid imagery, he challenges listeners to rethink their relationships, mindset, and approach to life's challenges. The episode explores the concept of convenience and its hidden costs, urging listeners to evaluate the people and situations in their lives that may no longer serve their growth. Baylor emphasizes the importance of resilience, strength, and mental fortitude in weathering life's storms. He encourages listeners to ask themselves whether they are equipped to confront those challenges or if they need a moment to regroup and rebuild their strength before proceeding. Key Takeaways: Metaphorical Clouds: Just like flying through clouds in an airplane, life's challenges may look daunting but can be overcome with perseverance. Question Convenience: Convenience often comes at a cost; reassess relationships and habits that may hinder your progress. Inner Strength and Resilience: Understand your capacity to weather life's storms. You are stronger than you think. Commitment to the Journey: Determine if you are ready to tackle the challenges now or need to focus on personal growth and strength. Surround Yourself Wisely: Avoid negative influences and people who dwell in life's storms, focusing instead on growth and positivity. Notable Quotes: "In life, not everybody that was once good for you still is." "Convenience is always going to cost you." "You have to know if you're strong enough to weather the storm." "You're worth more. You're stronger than you think you are." "Eventually, you will come out that other side."
It's that time of year again. Hurricane season begins in June and lasts until November, meaning your summer travel could be interrupted by severe weather if you're headed to the coast. But having a plan if the skies change can reduce your stress and keep you safe. These three tips will help you be prepared. To support more content like this, become an AARP member at aarp.org.

In this powerful episode, Dr. Laura Gallaher takes us inside one of NASA's darkest moments and reveals how it became a catalyst for revolutionary change in organisational culture. Following the 2003 Columbia space shuttle disaster that claimed seven astronauts' lives, NASA's investigation uncovered a shocking truth: the agency's culture was as much to blame as the technical failure itself. What makes this even more striking is that NASA had been rated the #1 place to work in the federal government just months before the tragedy, challenging everything we think we know about workplace culture. Dr. Gallaher, who spent nearly eight years leading NASA's culture transformation, shares how invisible forces like the "save the programme" mentality and lack of psychological safety prevented engineers from speaking up about critical safety concerns. She provides actionable insights on creating psychological safety, the power of leader vulnerability, and why optimising human dynamics is the ultimate competitive advantage. Her key message: culture change isn't a one-time fix—it's an ongoing commitment that can literally be the difference between success and catastrophic failure.

Tracy Clark discovered that two simple words - "let's play" - consistently transformed her stressed, visionary clients by shifting them from fear into a creative, exploratory mindset. Rather than frivolous activity, play represents a powerful leadership state built on intense curiosity, radical open-mindedness, and proactive experimentation. Tracy emphasises that effective leadership starts with self-leadership, using her "tree model" where visible strategy and actions (the trunk) must be supported by deeper roots of mindset and self-concept to weather storms. Practical applications include challenging assumptions by asking "what if that's not true?", entering meetings with questions rather than answers, and creating psychological safety for team co-creation. For skeptics, play isn't about ping pong tables but about removing the "straight jacket" of limitations to use your whole brain - logic plus intuition, imagination, and creativity - ultimately slowing down to speed up through better ideas and breakthrough solutions.

Picture this: You're a medical professional on a routine work trip when suddenly you're playing a real-life game of survival that makes Bear Grylls look like a weekend camper. Meet Tiffany Slaton, the dialysis tech from Georgia who accidentally became the Sierra Nevada's most badass temporary resident. What started as just another day at the office turned into a 24-day masterclass in "how to not die in the mountains." Tiffany didn't just survive—she MacGyvered her way through multiple blizzards, turned her medical training into wilderness wizardry, and basically gave Mother Nature a run for her money while rescue teams played the world's most stressful game of hide-and-seek. This isn't your typical "lost hiker gets found" story. This is about a woman who stared down hypothermia, outsmarted starvation, and somehow kept her sanity while trapped in America's most unforgiving mountain range.

Weathering the elements talks about how changing temperatures affect your walking regimen and shits your creativity.
Most people fear a $43 million debt. Harvey Firestone called it “invigorating.” When his company faced collapse in 1920 and his executives panicked, Firestone seized control. He fired the sales manager, slashed prices 25%, and personally ran the sales department. It worked—not because he managed through fear, but through clarity. Firestone was the founder of the Firestone Tire and Rubber Company—an outsider who built one of America's iconic industrial empires by doing the opposite of what everyone else did. This episode isn't about tires. It's about how Firestone quietly built one of the great businesses of the 20th century by asking two deceptively simple questions: Is it necessary? Can it be simplified? This episode breaks down the invisible principles behind Firestone's success: positioning over talent, inputs over outcomes, discipline over drama. If you lead a team or simply want to lead yourself better, this story is a masterclass in building enduring advantages. This episode is for informational purposes only and is based on Men and Rubber: The Story of Business by Harvey Firestone.

In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, Julian sits down with consultant, coach, and facilitator Yvonne Guerinaeu to explore what it means to get people "in their element" at work. Yvonne, author of "People in Their Elements," shares her passion for creating authentic human connections in the workplace and discusses how leaders can help their teams perform at their best by fostering psychological safety and genuine relationships. She emphasises the importance of face-to-face interaction, describing herself as working "tech-free wherever possible" to create those magical moments when people truly connect and feel understood. The conversation delves into practical strategies for leaders looking to build stronger teams through human connection. Yvonne explains how normalising different behaviours and thinking styles can create psychological safety, allowing team members to bring their authentic selves to work. She offers concrete advice on moving beyond the traditional "open door policy" to more intentional relationship-building, such as changing your daily routine to naturally encounter team members and creating meaningful one-to-one meetings that serve the individual rather than just the manager's agenda. Throughout the discussion, both of us highlight the critical role of presence, active listening, and the power of silence in building trust and understanding within teams.

Julian interviews Adam Waterworth, CEO of the Goodwood Estate, about leadership, innovation, and balancing heritage with modern expectations at this iconic British sporting venue. Adam shares his approach to leadership at Goodwood, emphasising the importance of creating psychological safety where teams feel confident to take risks without fear of punishment for genuine mistakes. He discusses the delicate balance between using data and trusting gut instinct when planning events, noting that becoming too data-driven can remove the magic that makes Goodwood special. Despite being a 300-year-old estate, Adam explains how innovation has always been part of Goodwood's DNA, allowing them to honour tradition while constantly evolving. His leadership philosophy prioritises people and customer experience first, believing financial success naturally follows when these elements are done right.

In this episode of Helping Organisations Thrive, I Andrew Green, CEO of Chichester College Group, who shares insights from his 26-year career in education leadership. Andrew discusses how his organisation serves 25,000 learners across seven colleges with a purpose-driven approach of "changing lives through learning." He reveals key leadership strategies including maintaining local college identities while leveraging shared resources, implementing employee engagement initiatives like wellness days and recognition programmes, and addressing the challenges of chronic underfunding in further education. Andrew emphasises the importance of holistic student support, building resilient leadership through self-care and boundaries, recruiting for attitude over skills, and perhaps most significantly, establishing "kindness as a superpower" as a core organisational value. He believes true leadership comes through experience, focusing on outputs rather than hours worked, and creating a people-centered culture where small acts of kindness can transform someone's day.

Some of life's greatest lessons emerge from weathering unexpected storms. In this deeply reflective episode, I explore how the literal thunderstorms of Northern Ontario and the metaphorical storms of major life decisions have shaped my journey as a lodge owner.The wilderness demands respect. I share the harrowing midnight experience that taught me this truth—slipping off a boat during a violent storm and nearly falling into churning waters, dangling precariously with just my torso on the dock as lightning illuminated the sky. This near-disaster transformed my approach to guest safety and weather management forever.Weather in the North has its own personality. I recount the memorable expedition with a proper English grandmother who, facing a wall cloud and gale-force winds that turned our 24-foot boat sideways, calmly assessed the situation with unexpected profanity: "Steve, this storm is a fucking doozy." Her composure taught me how grace under pressure reveals true character.But our most significant storms are often internal. I bare my soul about the overwhelming buyer's remorse after purchasing Chaudière Lodge—that moment sitting alone in my truck with an internal voice screaming "what have you done?" as I contemplated the enormous financial commitment I'd made. This emotional tempest eventually led to my greatest growth.Perhaps most poignantly, I share how my biggest regret—failing to purchase a lakefront cottage that later increased 6.5 times in value—ultimately provided the courage needed to take the life-changing risk of buying the lodge. Sometimes our apparent failures are preparing us for greater opportunities ahead.These stories remind us that life's storms, whether literal or metaphorical, don't just test us—they reveal our resilience and often guide us toward experiences we might otherwise miss. What storms have shaped you?

Dr. Johnson shared powerful insights about the shame, grief, and medical trauma that many clients face, especially Black women and other folks from historically marginalized communities.

Marion Sims, Henrietta Lacks, Tuskegee) · Myths of hyper-fertility in Black women and the erasure of infertility struggles in communities of color · Disenfranchised grief and cultural stigma around fertility challenges · Weathering: the cumulative impact of chronic stress and racism on physical and reproductive health How can therapists show up better for clients who are experiencing infertility and pregnancy loss? · Learn the terminology and processes around fertility treatments and pregnancy loss · Create space for conversations around sex, reproduction, and grief—even if it's uncomfortable · Practice cultural humility and intimacy: be willing to be wrong, to sit with pain, and to build trust · Acknowledge your own limitations and biases while staying curious and committed to learning · Be prepared for these conversations—even if you don't specialize in reproductive mental health Stay in Touch with Curt, Katie, and the whole Therapy Reimagined #TherapyMovement: Our Linktree: https://linktr.ee/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits: Voice Over by DW McCann https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano https://groomsymusic.com/
