Join us (Dr. Henry Emmons and Dr. Aimee Prasek) as we talk about "joyless urgency," a brilliant phrase coined by Marilynne Robinson. The short story is that our modern kind of hustle culture and constant busyness often leads to little personal fulfillment. So what's causing all this urgency? We've highlighted some important reasons in some recent episodes (see links below). Today, we'll introduce another one: too much social media. We'll focus on something called "problematic engagement" and how excessive use on social media can fuel a cycle of anxiety and temporary relief followed by more anxiety and temporary relief and then more anxiety... you get the picture. Awareness is the first step to get out of this cycle and we'll hit on that a bit in this episode. And be sure to tune in for the next several episodes as we'll cover some practical steps you can take to get out of joyless urgency and back into joy.   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!   Sources and Notes: Joy Lab Program: Take the next leap in your wellbeing journey with step-by-step practices to help you build and maintain the elements of joy in your life.

What can we learn from a medieval hermit about how to live? A surprising amount perhaps. Julian of Norwich is the author of the oldest surviving book by a woman in English – her Revelations of Divine Love provides a fascinating guide to what it means to be well despite experiencing suffering.Hannah Lucas is a scholar of Julian's work, among other medieval contemplative literature. She explores the entanglement of illness and insight in her recent book Impossible Recovery: Julian of Norwich and the Phenomenology of Well-Being, including what Julian meant by saying “all shall be well” and “we are all one in love”.Our conversation considers some parallels between Christian mystics and Indian traditions – particularly yoga, which Hannah also teaches. One dimension of this involves facing the world as it is instead of wishing it were otherwise, which has broad implications for everyday life, as we discuss.See here for an introductory blog about Hannah's book. She is the Newby Trust Research Fellow in English at Newnham College, University of Cambridge. From October, she will be an Alexander von Humboldt Research Fellow based at the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and the Technical University Berlin.

Previously, we explored the concept of love bombing, where one partner overwhelms the other with excessive affection and attention early in a relationship to mask manipulative intentions. This behavior often sets the stage for a narcissistic relationship, a toxic dynamic in which one partner uses charm, control, and emotional manipulation to maintain power.In this episode, Mack Ciccone joins us to share his journey of leaving a narcissistic relationship and offers insights on reclaiming autonomy and redefining personal boundaries.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 29.

A new study is challenging one of the most pervasive messages in health and fitness: the belief that 10,000 daily steps are needed to prolong life and prevent disease. Led by Professor Melody Ding at the University of Sydney and published in The Lancet, the study is the largest of its kind, analyzing data from more than 30 studies worldwide. Its findings suggest that significant health benefits may be achieved with as few as 7,000 steps a day—an attainable target for many who find 10,000 steps daunting. In this interview, Professor Ding discusses the scientific basis for rethinking our daily activity goals, how the research caught global attention, and what it means for public health recommendations moving forward. Peter Bowes speaks to Professor Ding to unpack what this shift in guidance could mean for millions tracking their steps around the world.

In this conversation, Frazer Rice and PAUL HOOD delve into the evolving role of trustees, particularly in the context of Delaware's new Well-Being Trust Statute. They discuss the broader responsibilities of trustees beyond mere asset management, emphasizing the importance of understanding beneficiaries' needs and the implications of well-being provisions. The dialogue highlights the challenges trustees face in balancing the interests of multiple beneficiaries, the potential liabilities associated with well-being services, and the necessity of having clear processes in place. The conversation concludes with reflections on the complexities of trust management and the importance of careful drafting in trust documents. https://youtu.be/9LFt6HsjpWM https://open.spotify.com/episode/4uqhoeXtfaIIWLbKhd62ej?si=nDTf-09bRSWjT0O_YKX49g Takeaways Trustees have a broader role than just managing assets. The well-being statute in Delaware is an opt-in provision. Balancing the needs of multiple beneficiaries is challenging. A clear process is essential for trustees to navigate their duties. Well-being provisions can complicate traditional trust structures. Trustees must be cautious about the liabilities they assume. Decanting trusts can lead to unintended consequences. The intent of the settlor is paramount in trust management. Trustees should document their decision-making processes. Effective communication with beneficiaries is crucial.

Paul Hood (00:02.648)Great to be with you today. Frazer Rice (00:04.598)The Delaware legislature has tried to give us some new tools to give us a holistic approach to planning for trustees and for beneficiaries. Help us sort of think through first from a function perspective what trustees do. I always thought of it as, you know, they held assets for the benefit of beneficiaries and then with that they have to administer them, they have to invest them, and then they have to distribute them. Have we got that about right? Paul Hood (00:35.34)Well, I've always had a broader view of trustees. Jay Hughes, a good friend and fellow pilgrim in this field, he talks about the trustee as a persons with confidence and like a trainer, an elder, and for a lot of beneficiaries, and I believe trustees, especially in discretionary trusts, The trustee needs to be that. There needs to be some attention to the person of the beneficiary, not just the finances. Send us a budget. The distributions committee who's in secret will meet, and we'll decide how much we'll give you. Well, I think a trustee's duty is broader than that. Or let's say this, you can meet the minimum requirements of being a trustee by doing what you said, but I think the very, very best trustees are persons with confidence. Frazer Rice (01:41.17)I agree with that. The problem is identifying the people who mix the temperament and the talent and then paying for them. So to that end, with those different functions, the world of bifurcation came about. Directed trustees where people got to be good at certain things. Maybe you had a good investment person, you had someone who was with the family who understood the dynamics from a distribution standpoint. and then the administrative side making sure the I's are dotted and the T's are crossed as far as the administration's concern. How do you view that in the evolution of the trustee function? Paul Hood (02:17.612)Well, it's interesting because I haven't been in practice. since well the 20th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina is August 29th of this year....

Episode Summary: In this episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, the hosts explore the key themes from the recent article, “Redefining Workplace Culture: A Human-Centered Approach to Engagement and Wellbeing.” Serving as a pointed response to the 2025 Gallagher Workforce Trends Report, this conversation challenges surface-level interpretations of employee engagement, workplace culture, and inclusion initiatives—offering a bold alternative grounded in human-first leadership. The hosts question the validity of engagement metrics derived from surveys, calling out what they term the "engagement illusion"—a widespread misinterpretation that equates participation with satisfaction. They unpack the growing disconnect between career development and employee wellbeing, warning that promotion pipelines without adequate emotional and workload support can accelerate burnout rather than boost loyalty. In discussing I&D (Inclusion and Diversity) efforts, the conversation highlights how many initiatives fall short of meaningful impact, often skewing performative rather than truly transformative. Instead, the hosts emphasize the need for authentic inclusion practices that uplift underrepresented voices and embed equity into daily operations. They also examine the shifting expectations around flexible work arrangements, stressing that flexibility is no longer a luxury, it's a baseline requirement for modern talent. The conversation moves beyond logistics, focusing on how to design flexible cultures that still promote connection, accountability, and performance. The core takeaway? Sustainable organizational performance doesn't stem from patchwork solutions. It begins with systemic cultural change rooted in a genuine, human-centered approach to leadership and strategy.

On this transformative episode of the “Better Than Fine” podcast, host and wellness coach, Darlene Marshall, helps us rethink everything we know about self-care. Tired of the endless influencer-driven trends, fluffy hashtags, and the message that wellness is something you buy? Darlene takes us back to the roots, uncovering how self-care originated in social justice and chronic illness spaces, and how it became a commodity in recent years. Darlene shares her personal journey with Ehlers Danlos syndrome and explains why real self-care isn't found in supplements or spa days, but in consistently meeting your foundational needs. Using a fresh, evidence-based approach, she introduces the powerful concept of applying systems thinking—typically used in business and design—to your own wellbeing. Discover how habits, routines, and feedback loops can work together to support your physical, emotional, and higher order needs without cognitive overload or decision fatigue. You'll learn why self-care isn't selfish and how it enables you to show up more powerfully for yourself and others. Darlene walks through Maslow's hierarchy of needs with a twist: it's not about climbing a pyramid but sending ripples of positive impact out into the world, starting with the essentials like sleep, nutrition, and boundaries.Packed with practical tips and compassionate insights, this episode is a must-listen for anyone ready to reclaim self-care from marketing trends and build lasting, meaningful systems for a better, more balanced life.

On September 3rd 2025, diabetes and sport will go under the global spotlight that is a House of Commons debate. In today's episode the man who made it happen tells us why - and what this could mean for the millions of people living with diabetes in the UK.Chris Bright is one of the community's crusaders. As part of his role as Community Partnerships and Events Lead at Breakthrough T1D in the UK, he has put diabetes in sport on the agenda at the highest possible level. The goal? To improve the inclusivity of physical activity for people with diabetes. The need is clear - the Equality Act that safeguards around 3.5 million people with diabetes in work and education does not currently extend to sport. In fact, recent research found that of 180 existing governing bodies in sport, only four have policies in place for people with diabetes.Diagnosed at the age of 8, Chris overcame stigma and the challenges of a very inflexible insulin regime as a young athlete to represent Wales at futsal. He later used those negative experiences as momentum to build The Diabetes Football Community, bringing young footballers with diabetes together while rewriting attitudes to type 1 diabetes and football.In this episode we dig into different pockets of Chris's work, including some new recommendations for travel, airports and airport security. We touch on his personal journey, and he reveals his strategy for successfully creating change in the face of inequality - perfect for anyone who feels as galvanised as I was listening to Chris's phenomenal story. CONNECT WITH CHRISFollow Chris on Instagram.Find Chris on X.Follow Chris on TikTok.The Diabetes Football Community website.Breakthrough T1D Community Events Calendar.JOIN THE TYPE 1 ON 1 COMMUNITY Come and say hi @studiotype1on1 on Instagram.Visit the Type 1 on 1 website.Subscribe to the Type 1 on 1 newsletter.DISCLAIMER Nothing you hear on Type 1 on 1 should be taken as medical advice. Please consult your healthcare team before making any changes to your diabetes or health management.SPONSOR MESSAGE This episode of Type 1 on 1 is sponsored by Dexcom.

The renowned play researcher, Dr. Brian Sutton-Smith, said that the "The opposite of play is not work, the opposite of play is depression." There's a lot of truth to that. In this episode, we (Dr. Henry Emmons and Dr. Aimee Prasek) explore how play and having fun is woven into our human nature and why it's so essential for our mental health. We'll even touch on some surprising facts about how old rats can grow more brain cells than younger rats (it applies to humans too!) and why even retirees, who might experience every day as a holiday, report increased happiness on federal holidays.

Fun pod today. Nick O'Hern and Mark Allen kick it off by discussing our reworked set - still at Titleist and FootJoy HQ but in a different space.....a change is as good as a holiday. Speaking of holidays, tickets are selling well for our Talk Birdie To Me Golf Day at Links Golf and Wellbeing on the Gold Coast on October 8th, after being on sale for about 5-days, nearly a third of the tickets are sold, so the day will sell out - we'd love to see you there, tickets available here.We discuss the domination of the Asia Pacific region in womens golf at the moment, with a new number one in the world in Jeeno Thitikul, and Nick and Mark discuss why they are dominating. Work ethic is a clear standout reason according to the boys. Nick suggests getting Jan Stephenson on the pod as a guest. Steph Kyriacou played well in tough conditions at the weekend, and one particular shot involving her was extraordinary, we discuss.And the retirement of a legend. Ian Baker-FInch, what a career, Nick and Mark love what he has done and how good he is. Although missing the discussion about IBF due to the international feed being delivered into Australia was very disappointing - Mark has had enough and says 'we are missing so much' by being given the international feed. Nick says Jim Nance is the best in the business, and he's one that he wants to hear, rather than the international feed team.In the chat about IBF we also find out that Mark is a tight-arse. And we discuss who might replace IBF, Frank Nobilo the consensus choice from Nick and Mark.Cam Young, a great win at the Wyndham Championship in North Carolina, and a fantastic final round (after a tough first hole) to win his first ever PGA tournament. We discuss that final round. Nick is reminded of playing this tournament and described it as the greatest cut he ever made, and tells the story of why.Update on Royal Melbourne's preparation for the Australian Open. It's good news, and Mark is pleased to have heard it and to pass it on.Last week we had a voicemail from wolfpacker Tom in Arizona, and Mark decided to give Tom some homework - this is what the podcast has become, we're giving homework to wolfpackers, we really are quite disgraceful. Nonetheless, Tom delivers in spades with a ripping Top 5 desert courses in Arizona, with rationale for each. During the turn, Mark has been on google looking at Tom's number 1 course, and he decides that he needs to visit Arizona to play it. We'd like to be in the room when Mark asks his wife for permission to fly to Arizona to play a round of golf. Onto the Top 5, Mark lists the 5 things that The Australian Open needs to have implemented to make it as good as it can be, and as good as it used to be.Breaking news - next week we'll have a bonus pod chatting to Steve Williams, former caddy of Tiger, about his new book - and he will personally sign a copy to one wolfpacker. How do you win? Well we want your questions to ask Steve, what would you like us to ask on your behalf? We'll choose three and put all three to Steve, and Nick will vote on the best question to win the signed book. Let us know on socials, or message us through the Talk Birdie website here. Our bonus pod with Steve will be later next week.Nick runs through the PING globals from the weekend, and we have plenty of feedback to run through. Amongst other things we talk ball fitting, equipment evolution, blades vs hollow clubs, and a couple of suggestions for other players who didn't live up to their potential.And a reminder that later this week we'll do our review pod on Happy Gilmore 2!We're live from Titleist and FootJoy HQ thanks to our great partners:Titleist, the #1 ball in golf;FootJoy, the #1 shoe and glove in golf;PING will help you play your best.

Send us a textIn this compelling episode of Navigating the Customer Experience, we are joined by global hospitality executive, author, and social entrepreneur Carmen Vlasceanu. With over 25 years of experience in hospitality, aviation, catering, and cruise industries, Carmen shares her remarkable journey from growing up in communist Romania to becoming a transformative leader in customer experience and organizational growth. She holds advanced degrees in Revenue Management, International Business, and Marketing, and is also the founder of Angels-Wings.org, a nonprofit dedicated to supporting underprivileged children with food, clothing, and education.Carmen's latest endeavor is her book, Dare to C.A.R.E: Unlock Your Potential to Transform Your Life, Well-Being and Customer Experience. The book presents the C.A.R.E. Model, which stands for Connection, Authenticity, Reengineering, and Evolution. It offers a humanistic framework that empowers individuals and organizations to align purpose with service delivery—moving beyond transactional interactions to deeply meaningful customer engagement.The conversation explores the multi-layered value of the book—both as inspirational reading and a practical workbook. Carmen explains how Dare to C.A.R.E is filled with bullet-point strategies that help individuals rediscover purpose, boost mental wellness, and reconnect with their natural strengths. For leaders and managers, it provides applicable tools to enhance team cohesion, foster authentic communication, and build a purpose-driven work culture. The goal is simple yet profound: when individuals thrive, organizations—and by extension, customers—thrive too.While the book draws heavily from Carmen's hospitality background, it transcends industries. Whether you're in banking, retail, pharma, or any customer-facing sector, the lessons in Dare to C.A.R.E are universal. Carmen emphasizes that customer experience today is everyone's business, not just that of the hospitality sectorWhen asked about a single word that organizations should focus on for the latter half of 2025, Carmen shares three: Resilience, Purpose, and Legacy. These values are the backbone of not just business success, but meaningful human impact. She quotes, “The day you plant the seed is not the day you eat the fruit,” encouraging listeners to invest long-term in values that matter.A deeply spiritual person, Carmen credits the Bible as her most indispensable daily tool, using it for both personal inspiration and professional grounding. She believes that every act of kindness, however small, can ignite lasting change—be it for a colleague, customer, or community member.As for books that shaped her worldview, she highlights "Soar!: Building Your Vision from the Ground Up" by T.D. Jakes, a guide that emphasizes perseverance, vision, and service to others. She believes that in a world increasingly marked by division, it's crucial to focus on shared humanity and collective growth.Carmen also shares her excitement about her ongoing projects, including the Global Hospitality and Maritime Leaders platform—offering mentoring, coaching, and personalized training for professionals seeking growth or career pivots. In tandem, her nonprofit Angels-Wings continues to expand its impact, giving hope and practical support to vulnerable children and families.She closes with a powerful reminder that “Daring to care” isn't just a slogan—it's a call to action. When we align who we are with what we do, and when organizations operate from a place of purpose, transformation happens—not just in metrics, but in lives.Connect with Carmen:Website:

Have you ever found yourself stuck in the cycle of trying to be the “perfect” leader (always switched on, always in control) only to end up burned out and disconnected? In this solo episode of Legendary Leaders, Cathleen O'Sullivan shares what happened when she finally let go of performing leadership and started showing up as herself.   From moments of self-doubt to the awkward reality of what she calls being a “cow at work,” Cathleen opens up about the pressures we put on ourselves to look like we've got it all together. She talks honestly about the impact it had on her well-being, her team, and her work and what changed when she chose presence over perfection. If you're feeling the weight of doing it all, or just wondering if there's a more human way to lead, this episode is for you. Episode Timeline: 00:00 Introduction 04:59 Leadership thrives in authenticity; burnout taught me to lead from presence, not performance. 09:15 I wanted to lead as me with flaws, feelings, tired days and all.  13:06 You can't lead well in survival mode 14:45 The power of saying “I'm not quite on today” 16:55 Rethink feedback and self-leadership Key Takeaways: Authenticity over perfection: Cathleen talks honestly about moving from trying to lead perfectly to simply showing up as herself. Letting go of the pressure to always have it together helped her build real trust with others even on the messy days Burnout changed everything: Working non-stop to meet impossible standards left Cathleen burnt out and disconnected. That low point pushed her to slow down, get honest with herself, and start leading with more care and clarity The SPACE method makes it practical: Cathleen shares a simple five-part tool to lead with more presence, not performance.

Previously, we discussed our iconic pop queens and how their songs typically fit into distinct categories that hit an emotional button that appeals to gay men. These categories often include themes of empowerment, heartbreak, resilience, and self-expression, resonating deeply with the LGBTQ+ community, particularly gay men, who find solace and strength in these anthems.In this episode, we continue our Gay Icons series with none other than… Cher. From her decades-spanning career as a singer, actress, and style icon to her outspoken advocacy for LGBTQ+ rights, Cher has become a symbol of reinvention, resilience, and unapologetic individuality.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 04.

“Well-being is a stronger metric of success than productivity when it comes to AI adoption—and a natural outcome of that well-being is more productivity.” — Paul Sephton, Global Head of Brand Communications, Jabra In this enlightening episode of Technology Reseller News, Publisher Doug Green interviews Paul Sephton, Global Head of Brand Communications at Jabra, about a new study conducted in partnership with the Happiness Research Institute. The report reveals a compelling insight: workers who use AI at work report higher well-being and job satisfaction. Why does this matter to Jabra? As Sephton explains, Jabra's mission goes beyond engineering headsets and video solutions—it's about optimizing the modern work experience. And as AI changes the nature of work, Jabra believes that cultural shifts, not just technical upgrades, will define whether AI enhances productivity and happiness. Key findings and themes from the podcast include: AI + Happiness: While not conclusive causation, there's a clear correlation between AI use and improved workplace well-being. Those who use AI more often tend to report higher satisfaction and purpose in their roles. From Fear to Optimism: The study shows a positive turn in sentiment. As AI becomes more ubiquitous and embedded in the day-to-day, optimism is rising—especially when organizations communicate transparently about their AI strategies. People-to-Machine Communication: Jabra is preparing for a future where not just people talk to people, but where we interact directly with AI agents. Enabling seamless communication between humans and AI will be essential—and Jabra aims to be at the center of that evolution. Well-Being as Strategy: Sephton urges leaders to treat employee well-being as a core indicator of successful change management. Transparency, experimentation, and culture are critical levers for embracing AI meaningfully. Jabra's Role: From professional audio and video collaboration gear to AI-optimized meeting room solutions, Jabra is developing the “eyes and ears” for enterprise AI—ensuring communication systems evolve as work itself transforms.

After a few years off the mic, I'm back - with dirt under my nails, a herbal medicine apothecary by my side, and a renewed fire in my belly.In this episode I share why I've renamed the podcast The Non-Diet Naturopath formerly Non-Diet Yogi), what's changed (spoiler: a lot), and what remains the same (like my intolerance for wellness horse shit).

What if your values weren't just something you thought about once during a journaling workshop, but a real-time compass for how you show up—especially when things get complicated? In this episode, we're going to talk about how to turn your values into a functional operating system.Key Takeaways:- A personal mission statement isn't a slogan—it's an operating system. When used well, it helps guide daily actions, not just big decisions.- Misalignment between values and actions is a valuable signal that it might be time to recommit to your goals…or to revise them entirely.- “Would this be on-brand for me?” is a useful question to test alignment between choices and core identity.- When you're stuck, your values can help you move from indecision to clarity.- Mission statements don't have to be perfect; they just have to feel true. The goal is not to impress others, but to steer you toward decisions you can stand behind, especially when things get tough.MentionedEp 33: Aligned Actions Interested in having Monica present at your next live or virtual event?  Learn more. ★ Support this podcast ★

First up is Paul Dowling & Jacqueline Ffrench who come from PD Ceramics (https://pdceramics.ie/) in Ireland. Paul grew up in a dental family and played in the shed in the backyard that was the lab. After attending lab school in London, Paul came back to Ireland and opened his own lab. Knowing teeth and not business, Paul recruits Jacqueline from a dental office to help. Jacqueline is good with business and saw the struggles in the lab and set out to make it a better place. Now she and Paul are starting to do it all over Ireland. Then from many miles away (at IDS it seems that way) we are joined by Thomas Baaske, the Global Technical Product Manager at Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us) Vivadent AG. That means he oversees a lot of the digital materials and equipment for Ivoclar and there is a lot. Thomas talks about his lab background, being with Ivoclar for over 14 years, the evolution of the milled denture, their new inventory system, and the new Ivotion Based Printed denture (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us/products/digital-processes/3d-printing-materials). Let's be honest. There are a LOT of zirconia on the market these days. How do you know which is which? Is one better than another? Is there one that can handle every situation? Check out a FREE webinar from Ivoclar (https://www.ivoclar.com/en_us) called Zirconia Unboxed with Jeff Smith, CDT.

Ready to break free from the cycle of big ambitions followed by disappointment? The secret to lasting change might be smaller than you think.When we look at where we are versus where we want to be, the gap often feels impossibly wide. We tell ourselves "if only I had more time, money, or resources" then change would be possible. But what if the real magic happens through tiny, consistent actions that compound over time?Drawing from personal birthday reflections and journal rituals, Dr. BethAnne Kapansky-Wright shares how setting modest intentions and taking measurable steps creates sustainable transformation. These small actions—whether a brief gratitude practice, a moment of mindfulness, or a single act of kindness—aren't just placeholders until the "real change" happens; they ARE the change.Key talking points include: • The importance of journaling about personal growth and setting intentions during milestone moments• The trap of thinking we need "more" of something before we can make progress• Little deeds of intention compound over time to create meaningful change• Small steps are more sustainable than dramatic changes or grand gestures• Starting with something that seems "too easy" can help build momentum• Quality of intention matters more than quantity of action• The power of being "one drop" that contributes to the ocean of positive change• Setting 1-2 small, achievable goals is better than overwhelming yourself with too many changesRemember: "Keep it simple, take actionable steps and see what grows from there. Little deeds of intention compound." When the world feels overwhelming, the answer isn't more overwhelm—it's simplifying, grounding, and taking action within your immediate sphere of influence.Join us next week for an all-new episode of Your Heart Magic and more psychology, spirituality, storytelling, and heart wisdom.--Your Heart Magic is a space where heart wisdom, spirituality, and psychology meet.
