William Linville and Michael Connell explore the inextricable connection between consciousness and the body's innate ability to heal, through the exploration of two remarkable cases; the case of Brandon Bays who healed a uterine tumor the size of a soccer ball without medical intervention, and Dr. Joe Dispenza healing and rebuilding his fractured spine while forgoing recommended major surgery[1].This conversation delves into judgments, beliefs, and energetic blockages that manifest as physical conditions, and how healing begins when we recognize ourselves beyond our physical form—as consciousness, an approach that complements rather than replaces conventional medicine.  This perspective aligns with quantum physics which demonstrates how consciousness (the observer) directly affects the behavior of matter.Whether you're facing health challenges or simply curious about exploring the role of consciousness and your innate health and wellbeing, this episode offers practical wisdom for tapping into your body's extraordinary healing capabilities.Namasté[1] In 1992 Brandon Bays was diagnosed with a basketball-sized tumor in her uterus.  Pursuing alternative healing methods, she reported that her tumor disappeared naturally and completely in just six and a half weeks without medical intervention. In 1986 Dr. Joe Dispenza sustained fractures in six vertebrae after being hit by an SUV.  He chose to forgo the recommendation of major spinal surgery.  Nine and a half weeks following the accident he was walking again without the aid of surgery.

What if HR wasn't the department you dreaded — but the partner that helped your team thrive?  In this episode of Scaling UP! H2O, host Trace Blackmore welcomes Tia Amundson, HR Director at HOH Water Technology, to explore how human resources can be a strategic driver of talent, culture, and profitability in the water treatment industry.  Redefining HR's Role  Tia shares her journey into water treatment and how she built HOH's HR department from the ground up. Instead of treating HR as a compliance function, she reframed it as a leadership partner—focused on employee connections, transparent communication, and culture building. From structured check-ins at 30, 60, and 90 days to coaching managers and bridging communication gaps, her approach ensures employees feel supported, heard, and connected.  Culture as Competitive Advantage  HOH's success story demonstrates how culture directly shapes business outcomes. Tia explains how open-book management, employee engagement surveys, and intentional recognition programs have increased retention, profitability, and trust across the organization. By aligning HR strategies with EOS (Entrepreneurial Operating System), HOH has cultivated an environment where employees thrive and deliver exceptional service.  Talent, Retention, and the Future of HR  Finding and retaining the right people remains one of the industry's biggest challenges. Tia outlines the importance of a clear employee value proposition, authentic recruiting practices, and a commitment to work-life balance. She also discusses how HR will evolve over the next decade, balancing automation with the irreplaceable human element of caring for people.  Dream Management and Employee Growth  As a Certified Dream Manager, Tia integrates personal growth with professional development. By helping employees pursue their own dreams, HOH has fostered deeper engagement, loyalty, and breakthroughs that extend far beyond the workplace.  Conclusion  For leaders in the water treatment industry, this episode challenges you to view HR not as a cost center, but as a powerful lever for long-term success. Strategic HR practices can reduce turnover, build culture, and give your organization a competitive edge.  Stay engaged, keep learning, and continue scaling up your knowledge!    Timestamps  02:28 - Trace Blackmore welcomes listeners, shares personal “sharpen the saw” growth theme  04:53 - Sharpen-the-saw story  08:10 - Water You Know with James McDonald  10:05 - Upcoming Events for Water Treatment Professionals   13:15 - Interview with a friend and Rising Tide Mastermind member Tia Amundson, HR Director, HOH Water Technology   13:30 - HR as employee connection + leadership alignment, not a “principal's office”  16:32 - From hiring to long-term care  19:14 - Coaching managers  23:49 - Turnover → P&L  33:12 – Recruitment Realities   44:03 – Dream Manager Program  48:11 – Overcoming Skepticism   50:02 – The Future of HR  51:13 – Start/Stop for HR  52:50 – Foundational operating system (EOS) first    Quotes  “HR isn't about punishment—it's about building trust, culture, and strategic advantage.”  “Pour into your employees, and they will pour into their work.

In this week's episode, hosts Jill and Anthony speak with guest Solomon Pratt, an executive health coach and author, about how enhancing your health and caring for your body can positively impact your relationships and career.

Richard Tate is the President and CEO of the California Wellness Foundation, where he leads with clarity, courage, and hope. A communications strategist turned first-time CEO, Richard embraces the power of philanthropy not just to fund change, but to stand up for values. Under his leadership, Cal Wellness has become a bold voice for health and racial justice at a time when those commitments are under attack. This Episode: What does it mean for foundations to step out from behind the desk and lead with courage? Grant and Richard explore why this moment calls for philanthropy to mobilize more than just dollars—to use its voice, influence, and resources in defense of equity and community well-being. Richard shares what it's like to lead through fear, why Cal Wellness is “spending up” in response to urgent need, and how hope remains a discipline for leaders navigating turbulent times. Along the way, he reflects on lessons from his parents, the Civil Rights Movement, and peers who inspire him to push beyond comfort zones. From navigating attacks on diversity and equity to reimagining healthcare in California, this conversation is a call to speak out, act boldly, and build a healthier, more just future together. Key Moments: [5:18] Why leadership in philanthropy requires courage in polarized times [10:01] Using influence and access: how CEOs can open doors for community voices [24:36] Lessons from past movements that fuel courage today [42:08] Why civic engagement and democracy are health issues  [47:38] What community organizations are teaching foundations about resilience and rebuilding Resources Mentioned: California Wellness Foundation – Advancing health and racial justice for Californians #UniteInAdvance – A collaborative of foundations defending philanthropic freedom and equity Dr. Richard Besser – President and CEO of Robert Wood Johnson Foundation Take Action: Spend Up and Speak Out – Push beyond the minimum in both giving and voice Stand With Partners – Protect and amplify grantees when they are targeted Invest in Democracy – Support civic engagement and organizing as core to health Choose Courage – Step out from behind the desk when communities cannot hide  Credits: This is a production of the Prebys Foundation Hosted by Grant Oliphant Co-Hosted by Crystal Page Co-produced by Crystal Page and Adam Greenfield Engineered by Adam Greenfield Production Coordination by Tess Karesky Video Production by Edgar Ontiveros Medina Special thanks to the Prebys Foundation Team The Stop & Talk Theme song was created by San Diego's own Mr. Lyrical Groove. Download episodes at your favorite podcatcher or visit us at StopAndTalkPodcast.org If you like this show, and we hope you do, the best way to support this show is to share, subscribe.

Send us a textThe weight of caring for others can become unbearable when we forget to care for ourselves. This powerful conversation with Deidre Gestrin, a licensed clinical professional counselor and certified health coach, takes us deep into the reality of burnout among first responders and helping professionals.Deidre shares her profound personal journey through burnout - a harrowing experience that led her doctor to deliver the stark warning: "Your job is killing you." With remarkable candor, she reveals how her dedication to helping others in crisis led to working literally 24/7, developing physical health problems including arthritis in her mid-30s, and ultimately experiencing secondary traumatic stress so severe she couldn't tolerate family members standing behind her.The discussion illuminates the science behind burnout - how chronic stress essentially shuts down our frontal cortex, impairing judgment and decision-making abilities critical for first responders. Steve and Deidre explore why those drawn to helping professions are particularly vulnerable to burnout, and why changing jobs often fails to solve the underlying issues.What makes this episode uniquely valuable is the practical, realistic approach to recovery. Rather than offering platitudes, Deidre provides tangible strategies that work within the constraints of demanding professions. From establishing sleep hygiene routines that function even with irregular schedules to creating small, intentional habits that regulate the nervous system, listeners gain actionable tools for resilience.Perhaps most compelling is Deidre's revelation about recovery timelines - the small shifts at three months, the ability to work again at six months, but the full two years before feeling completely restored. This honest assessment serves as both warning and hope for those navigating their own burnout journeys.Connect with Deidre at abundantwellnessessentials.com to explore personalized strategies for overcoming burnout and reclaiming your purpose and wellbeing. Her Social media presence: https://www.youtube.com/@deidregestrinhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/deidregestrin/https://www.facebook.com/dgestrin/https://www.instagram.com/dgestrin/Freed.ai: We'll Do Your SOAP Notes!Freed AI converts conversations into SOAP note.Use code Steve50 for $50 off the 1st month!Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

How many times have I wished I could take those negative thoughts out of my head, those thoughts projecting a future that may not actually happen? This doesn't mean that we don't prepare for the worst, but do we want to live in that state or space where it virtually eliminates being in the present/ our present? How can we enjoy anything if we are always thinking about what might be? Conversely, thinking about what might be from a positive standpoint might actually be soothing, and yet again, it takes us out of the present, which is the only place that can drive our actions, as it is all we actually know. I remember sitting on my bathroom floor as a high schooler in hysterics, breaking up with my then boyfriend, and suffering because I couldn't face hurting him, and the idea of loss was just overwhelming due to the early losses that I had experienced in my own family. How I would have benefitted from the comfort of knowing that others suffer too and perhaps if I had had our featured organization's App, I would have certainly managed better or at least been in the great company of others who had experienced loss - my reaction may have been over exaggerated, but it was because I had experienced early losses - what I didn't know then and know now is that often a previous loss can be triggered by a current loss although the two seem completely disconnected - that would have perhaps allowed me to grieve my relationship without feeling crazy. Mental health is an incredibly complicated topic. So many of us have had experiences either personally or with our children; no one wants to see their children in pain, and emotional pain is often frightening, because it's hard to find the source of the pain as compared to physical pain, and emotional or psychological injury is often invisible. We understand when someone is in physical pain, but we often blame the individual for being in emotional pain. Raising children is tough, all that goes into daily schedules, etc. now, let's complicate the typical with a complex world, access to more information that can have negative impacts, biological changes and we can have tweens and teens in pain without the benefit of always knowing how to manage it or letting them know that they are not alone as so many others go through similar anguish. Why isn't that taught in schools?  Mood's goal is to put free, fast and effective mental health tools into the hands of every tween & teen, ages 9-17 and for the adults, teachers and providers in their world, enabling them to build skills and resilience through fun and engaging content - Where were you when I was a teen and even as a young adult and parent?  Their website is fun and their mood tools are practical coping skills that are easy to understand and use. The Mood tools are proven stragteties designed to help tweens and teens bring their feelings into managageble bite-sized mood moments rather than gigantic, scary floods of emotion that feel never-ending. I am also incredibly impressed that Mood has an advisory board filled with tweens and teens who bring innovative, creative ideas that are inviting to their cohort.  For more information, go to: www.mood.org And for additional information on all the podcasts: www.smallandgutsy.org

Societal pressure on men to appear tough and self-reliant can lead to the avoidance of medical care since vulnerability is wrongly equated with weakness. For gay men, this is further complicated by the fear of discrimination or judgment in healthcare settings, creating additional barriers to accessing necessary treatment.In this episode, Mickie Kennedy, author of Glandscapes, joins us to discuss how queer identity and masculinity intersect with health and vulnerability, breaking taboos around gay men's health and exploring the enduring queer legacy of survival and resilience.Related Episodes:Listen to Episode 89.

Slightly different pod this week, Nick is in Vietnam for the week with a bunch of lucky golfers playing a number of courses there, so he is coming to us from his (undoubtedly luxurious) hotel room for the pod. We get a run through of the courses he's playing, and how he's dealing with the humidity.Leads to a chat about the ideal golfing holiday, Nick and Mark share where they'd love to go for a golfing trip and the courses they'd love to play. On that topic, Mark reckons he may have found a way to sneak a round at Augusta....watch this space....Speaking of golf trips....we run through the prizes for our Talk Birdie To Me golf day at Links Golf and Wellbeing at Hope Island on the Gold Coast. The list of prizes from Titleist, FootJoy, Golf Clearance Outlet is both extensive and fantastic....Mark makes an executive decision on the call as to how we'll award the prizes, which is pretty good so we'll run with it! There are a few tickets left, but we suspect not for long, so if you'd love to play golf with Nick and Mark on the Gold Coast on Wednesday October 8th, all the info here.We discuss the tournament at Cypress Point at the weekend, and we discuss the course....wow. Mark again raises Nicks idea for how the PGA should decide the Champion Golfer of the Year, which he feels fits beautifully at Cypress. And could that structure work for the Australian Amateurs? We say yes.The BMW Touch of Class is a beautiful one today. Nick saw a fantastic video from the DP World Tour involving Shane Lowry, we listen to/watch some of it.

Dr. Laura welcomes Jana Boyko, business coach and author of Bedside Business Plan and the upcoming Employee to Entrepreneur, to the podcast for a conversation on entrepreneurship and self confidence. Jana describes her journey from doing a BCom and working for a marketing firm to striking out on her own as an entrepreneur and the failures and successes she experienced on that path. Dr. Laura learns how Jana's guided journals are designed to guide entrepreneurs through the steps of starting a business with a focus on understanding ourselves and our ideas.  Jana chose the guided journal format for both Bedside Business Plan and Employee to Entrepreneur because of the enlightening experience she had when she put pen to paper and removed the barrier of the screen from her journaling. Dr. Laura and Jana discuss that what holds entrepreneurs, especially woman, back from business success isn't necessarily a lack of business skills but a prevailing sense of self-doubt and fear of judgment. Businesses aren't built in isolation but in connection, support, and learning from those who went before, and this episode highlights how Jana is laying a foundation for true understanding of the journey ahead, based on her own insights, for future entrepreneurs.“Make a list of 20 reasons why you are going to be a successful entrepreneur. Include your past, you know, achievements, personality traits, things people love about you, great feedback you've gotten in the past, and then reference that list every single day. Because I think especially when you're entering new territory as an entrepreneur, you feel so wobbly. I felt so wobbly when I when I became an entrepreneur, even though I had the business background. But it's really important to fortify yourself and to remember who you are in this experience, and to remember everything that you are bringing to entrepreneurship, so that when self-doubt does come up, when the fear does come up, you can really have this list that sort of replaces that fear, right?” - Jana BoykoAbout Jana Boyko:In the last decade, Jana has worked with over 100 brands and businesses from the very small to the very big. She's the author of Bedside Business Plan, a guided journal for aspiring entrepreneurs, which has climbed to national success since launching with Indigo in 2022 and being named a Staff Pick in January 2023. Jana's body of work is dedicated to helping people expand into their highest potential while building businesses in ways that are both sustainable and life-giving. She has been featured as an expert on CBC, Breakfast Television, and The Eyeopener in addition to delivering a number of important talks at organizations and institutions like Elate Cosmetics, the University of Calgary, and Royal Roads University.Jana's second guided journal, Employee to Entrepreneur, is available for pre-order now.Resources:Website: BedsideBusinessPlan.comLinkedIn: JanaBoykoLinkedIn: Bedside-Business-PlanInstagram: @bedsidebusinessplanTiktok: @bedsidebusinessplanFacebook: BedsideBusinessPlanConfessions of a Female Founder with Meghan podcastLearn more about Dr. Laura on her website: https://drlaura.liveFor more resources, look into Dr. Laura's organizations: Canada Career CounsellingSynthesis Psychology

Send us a textWhy Trichology needs to be integrated into hair systems training Jess has been in the hair industry for many years, along with her business partner, Hayley, who has educated all around the world with Raccoon, and they both have experience with hair extensions.Whilst trying to meet their clients' needs, they soon recognised that those with hair loss wanted to have hair extensions, but they just weren't suitable. They began to research alternative solutions, and learned different hair systems methods.Jess joins me today to introduce a new type of system, called signature scalp. This is a silicone based scalp replica system, secured with medical grade adhesive.They wanted to be able to offer a solution that could incorporate their creative flair, and be able to add a hairdresser's perspective to their hair systems. These systems can be made to suit any colour or style.We talk about the longevity and versatility of having a hair system, what they can offer, and why it's important to have the education to ensure that each client is a suitable candidate for this service.Signature scalp offers education, and already have a US ambassador, along with 80 representatives from around the world.Connect with Signature Scalp:InstagramWebsite Hair & Scalp Salon Specialist course Support the showConnect with Hair therapy: Facebook Instagram Twitter Clubhouse- @Hair.Therapy Donate towards the podcast Start your own podcastHair & Scalp Salon Specialist Course ~ Book now to become an expert!

Pursuing perfect “balance” in our work and personal lives may not actually be a reasonable goal. There will inevitably be times when either work or home needs more of your attention, and that's okay. Instead of striving for an elusive sense of balance, focusing on setting meaningful boundaries and prioritizing well-being can help lawyers move toward a healthier mindset. Molly Ranns talks with Robinjit Eagleson about her many years in legal practice and how she has navigated seasons of burnout, vicarious trauma, and other professional challenges to reconnect with her personal values and sense of purpose as an attorney.   Robinjit Eagleson is Lawyer Services Program Director at State Bar of Michigan.

The nonpartisan, public policy organization, Leaders for a Better Louisiana, recently released its latest Louisiana Fact Book. It's a list of 35 indicators over five key areas used to measure the state's overall wellbeing. The organization's chief policy officer, Barry Erwin, joins us to discuss this year's slight upward trend.The documentary “City of A Million Dreams - Parading for The Dead In New Orleans” explores the history and evolution of the New Orleans jazz funeral. That final goodbye is a mix of grief and joy, sadness and elation, weeping and second line dancing. Director Jason Berry joins us to discuss the making of the film, and how viewers can watch on Louisiana Public Broadcasting.Two decades after Hurricane Katrina, the city of New Orleans still has plenty of vacant lots, especially in the majority Black neighborhood of the Lower Ninth Ward. After the storm, Black New Orleanians struggled to return to their land and rebuild their homes, in part, because of the way the city and the state handled recovery efforts. As the coastal desk's Eva Tesfaye reports, one artist has navigated a bureaucratic city program to reclaim her family's land, with the help of her community. —Today's episode of Louisiana Considered was hosted by Karen Henderson.

From the sovereign citizen movement to vaccine conspiracy theories, extreme beliefs are on the rise, and they can make family gatherings super uncomfortable. Why do sensible people fall for irrational ideas? And can we challenge these ideas without alienating the people who hold them?

When was the last time your school really paused to consider what it means for staff to thrive, not just survive? Many wellbeing initiatives in schools focus on quick fixes, such as morning teams, yoga sessions, or casual “wellbeing weeks,” which offer temporary boosts but don’t create lasting change. In this episode, I sit down with Andrew Oberthur, retired primary school principal and educational consultant, to explore a more sustainable approach: shifting from individualised wellbeing strategies to strategies for wellbeing - cultural practices and systems that genuinely support staff, reduce stress and foster collaboration. Andrew shares insights from his decades of experience leading schools and his work helping leaders design environments where teachers and staff can flourish. In this episode, we cover: The difference between “wellbeing strategies” (short-term, individualised fixes) and “strategies for wellbeing” (cultural, systemic approaches that benefit all staff) Practical approaches like the Right to Disconnect, joint determination and the “pruning cycle” for managing initiatives and workload How effective team structures, role clarity and collaboration build a culture of trust and sustainable wellbeing The 6 Team Conditions framework for creating high-performing, well-supported teams in schools How generational shifts in the workforce are changing what staff expect from school cultures Strategies for long-term teacher and staff longevity, including managing parent expectations and realistic workloads Whether you’re a school leader, administrator, or teacher seeking practical ways to build a more supportive and sustainable school environment, this conversation provides actionable insights that extend far beyond the usual morale boosters. About Andrew: Andrew Oberthur is an experienced educator and consultant with over 37 years of teaching and leadership experience in Brisbane primary schools, including 24 years as a principal. Now retired from school leadership, he shares his expertise to help teachers and school leaders sustain their wellbeing, manage workloads and thrive in the profession long-term. Andrew is the author of three books, a regular contributor to Teachers Matter magazine in New Zealand, and a sought-after presenter on building effective teams, applying the 6 Team Conditions framework, and fostering strong school-parent relationships. He is passionate about creating cultures of trust, collaboration and inquiry, with a particular interest in inclusive education for children with diverse learning needs. Through this work, Andrew equips schools with practical strategies for wellbeing, promotes positive professional relationships and champions the importance of parents and teachers working together to maximise children’s learning and development.

When thinking about our wellness, an area that is often neglected is our workplace well-being. We often just view our workplace as a mere job that represents a means to an end. However, we often spend more time with our co-workers and in our workplace than our families and in our home. As a result, it is important to assess your workplace well-being. Workplace well-being has been defined as, "the ability to pursue your interests, values, and life purpose in order to gain meaning, happiness, and enrichment professionally." www.talkingwithdrtoy.com

When we hear about spiritual awakening, it can often sound lofty or out of reach. We imagine it will take decades of practice, or that it belongs only to rare, extraordinary people.But what if the very thing we've been seeking has never been absent?In this episode, Craig turns our attention to something we almost always overlook. Every moment of life is filled with thoughts, sensations, and emotions—yet we rarely notice the conscious awareness in which they all arise.What happens when that awareness begins to recognize itself? This is the shift at the heart of awakening.Through teaching, guided reflection, and meditation, Craig invites us into this recognition of awakened awareness—and to the deeper mystery it reveals about who we really are.To access the full transcript of this episode and discover more resources, visit the episode page on MeditationChangesEverything.com.

In this episode of the HR Leaders Podcast, we speak with Adam Holton, Chief People Officer at GE HealthCare, about the mindset shifts HR leaders need to harness AI, personalize learning, and lead with authenticity. Adam explains why example matters more than instruction, why democratized learning is changing leadership, and how AI can act like a “superpower” for HR teams. The conversation covers embedding AI into coaching, rethinking processes instead of just automating them, and creating sticky adoption through daily use cases.

Nutritionist Jackie Lynch explains how to use supplements safely in menopause, covering multivitamins, minerals, omegas, probiotics, and essential tips.Supplements can be a minefield in menopause —in this solo episode, Jackie explains how to navigate them safely and effectively. Jackie stresses that a nutrient-rich, balanced diet is your foundation, but she also explains why getting every nutrient perfectly from food alone is harder than it sounds. Factors like stress, medications, alcohol, caffeine, depleted soil, and modern food storage all make it tricky to rely on diet alone — and that's where supplements can be a helpful top-up.She covers when a multivitamin might help, and how to choose well-absorbed forms of micronutrients, so that you get the best value for money. Jackie also shares essential safety tips on dosage, timing, and interactions with medications, and highlights which supplements might not be suitable for certain health conditions.If you want clear, practical guidance to support your energy, bones, mood, and overall wellbeing, this episode gives you the expert advice you need to make informed choices as you navigate the supplement aisle.Show Noteshttps://viridian-nutrition.com/ https://www.cytoplan.co.uk/ https://www.bionutri.co.uk/https://www.biocare.co.uk/ https://www.bio-kult.com/https://www.optibacprobiotics.com/uk/ https://betteryou.com/https://www.pure-encapsulations.co.uk/ https://www.nordic.com/  

Feeling stuck in a style rut as you navigate perimenopause or menopause? You're not alone.

Caring responsibilities often fall heavily on women in midlife. You're juggling work, family life, menopause — and now, the care of ageing parents or elderly relatives too. It's a huge emotional and physical load, and it can take a real toll on your wellbeing.In this episode of The Happy Menopause, I'm joined by psychologist and neuroscientist Dr Sabina Brennan, author of Still Me, a compassionate, evidence-based guide for anyone caring for someone with dementia. But while dementia is a focus, the practical tips and emotional insights she shares apply to anyone caring for an elderly loved one.We discuss the emotional impact of caring, the early signs that someone might need more support, and how to communicate with empathy and confidence when things get difficult. Sabina explains why it's so easy to lose yourself in the caring role and shares practical strategies to protect your own health, manage stress, and avoid burnout or compassion fatigue. We also talk about the guilt so many carers feel — and how to handle it in a constructive way — as well as her top tips for staying resilient and hopeful in the face of such a demanding role.If you're caring for an elderly loved one in midlife, this conversation offers clarity, comfort, and a wealth of practical advice to help you look after yourself while caring for someone else.

It's sacred.In this episode, Paul and Ashley go deep and raw into the emotional and spiritual tension that arises when your growth, your peace, your joy—hurts someone you love.We talk about:What it means when Jesus refused to go to his mother, MaryThe emotional toll of becoming someone your people don't recognizeWhy your sacred yes may sound like a violent no to someone else⚠️ Content Note:This episode includes discussion of trauma and suicidal ideation.
