In this heartwarming episode, I sit down with Tony, a longtime member of the United Ag community, to talk about his inspiring journey through agriculture—from working alongside his father in the fields as a child to becoming a safety manager and United Ag ambassador. Tony shares how early hands-on experiences shaped his deep appreciation for hard work and sparked a lifelong mission to support and protect agricultural workers.We dive into how technology is transforming the ag space, with digital tools like timekeeping apps and virtual ID cards making life easier for field workers. As part of United Ag's Ambassador Program, Tony provides honest feedback that helps customize these tools for real-world use across diverse regions and employers.More than just work, this episode celebrates the sense of family, community, and purpose that defines United Ag. Tony and I reflect on what it means to be part of something bigger—where work doesn't feel like work, and where partnerships feel more like family.Plantel Nurseries: https://www.plantelnurseries.com/Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgUnitedAg Health and Wellness Centers - https://www.unitedag.org/health-benefits/united-agricultural-benefit-trust/health-centers/Episode Contributors - Tony Ramirez, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us

Postpartum is hard and so is sleep deprivation….and you get a nice helping of both after you have a baby. Some well-meaning people might recommend you work on sleep training your baby early so that you can get back to getting normal amounts of sleep quicker. But is this a good idea? Does it even work? That's the topic of this episode. Specifically, I address co-sleeping and how that might be the solution to the sleep deprivation problem.   Helpful Links: — BIBLE STUDY - FREE Bible Study Course - How To Be Sure Of Your Salvation - https://the-ruffled-mango-school.teachable.com/p/how-to-be-sure-of-your-salvation   -- COACHING - If you're tired of shallow, cheap, meaningless connections in pregnancy that leave you feeling passed over and confused, The REAL DEAL Transformative Coaching might be for you.

In this episode of Leading Human, host Chad discusses the ineffectiveness of current workplace mental health and wellness programs, based on a recent study in Portugal's insurance sector. Dr. Chad highlights the shortcomings of these programs, which often act as empty gestures rather than meaningful solutions. Key topics include the importance of addressing workplace culture, psychological safety, and the need for leaders to manage energy instead of just time. We also offer actionable strategies to create a more supportive work environment, emphasizing structural and cultural change over superficial fixes.00:00 Welcome to Leading Human01:34 The Evolution of Our Podcast02:59 Introducing the Topic: Wellness Theater03:19 Why Wellness Programs Fail06:24 The Study from Portugal07:59 Addressing the Real Issues11:54 Four Ideas to Improve Workplace Wellbeing17:53 Conclusion and Call to ActionA link to the study here.Want a communication and wellbeing workshop that actually sticks?

SHOW NOTES: A lot of midwives and doctors will tell you on the front end that they are supportive of natural birth, but how can you tell for sure? It is not a good feeling to get to the end of the third trimester only to find out they've pulled a "bait and switch" on you and they're really not all that supportive of your birth plan or birth preferences. The best way to know for sure is to take the time early in pregnancy to do your due diligence by asking some well thought out questions and then listening well to HOW they answer.  This episode takes you through the process so that you'll have a good chance of choosing a practitioner who truly supports the type of birth you want.   Here's the list of possible interview questions for when you go to a meet and greet appointment with a midwife or doctor: https://go.yourbirthgodsway.com/blog/interviewquestions     Helpful Links: — BIBLE STUDY - FREE Bible Study Course - How To Be Sure Of Your Salvation - https://the-ruffled-mango-school.teachable.com/p/how-to-be-sure-of-your-salvation   — CHRISTIAN CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION - Sign up HERE for the Your Birth, God's Way Online Christian Childbirth Course!

Despite the growing investment in workplace wellness programs, employee morale and satisfaction continue to decline. What's going wrong?

Show Notes: The medical system is quick to label women as having "high risk pregnancies", but just because you've been labeled high risk doesn't mean you have to give up everything in your birth plan and go along with every intervention in the book. There is a lot of room for you to still be able to get most of the things you want in your birth, even if you end up "high risk" and at a hospital. Today's episode helps you think outside to box for ways to keep most of the things you want in your birth.

Where does your school stand in terms of designing, implementing and measuring the effectiveness of its whole-school wellness program? Several of our thought-leader guests have told us that wellness is at the top of the to do list for many international schools. Along with Wellness, another recurring topic in our episodes is change management, especially around the development of new programs. We hear stories about initiative fatigue and the dropping of programs when their champions leave the school. With so much talk around wellness and change management we decided to invite Alison Leathwood on the show to share an overview of how to design and implement a schoolwide wellness program that is sustainable. Alison is an international school physical education teacher who is passionate about wellness. She is dedicated to equipping students with the tools they need for both physical and emotional wellbeing. She extends this passion beyond the classroom, having served in various leadership roles including HS Advisory Curriculum Coordinator, EC-12 Personal Development Coordinator, Wellness Committee Chair and currently serving as the Head of Department for PE. Through these leadership roles, Alison strives to create a lasting positive impact on the social-emotional well-being of the entire school community. Our guiding question for this show was, “How might international school leaders approach the development of a school- and community-wide wellness program based on Positive Psychology?”Alison offered such a detailed framework along with so many practical strategies that it is futile to try and summarize them here. So I will share just a handful of the topics to whet your appetite for designing an effective wellness program at your school!Here they are:Using a Positive Psychology approach to wellnessLeveraging Character Strengths and the PERMAH pillarsThe who, what, when, where, why and how of implementing a wellness programOther factors that will affect the success of your wellness programResources mentioned in the episode:Alison's Resource folderDavid's Wellness@ES site for integrating Pos Psych into the elementary schoolAlison's Contact Information: LinkedInX: @peleathwood This episode was recorded on February 24, 2025.Categories: Wellness | Leadership | Change Remember to access our Educators Going Global website for more information or to subscribe to our newsletter!Email us with comments or suggestions at educatorsgoingglobal@gmail.com Follow us on LinkedIn, Facebook, Instagram or YouTube.Listen on your favorite podcast app: connect from our share page.Music: YouTube.

In this inspiring and practical episode, I share how I made a long-time dream come true: leading fully funded, grant-supported wellness retreats for physicians—programs paid for by departments, organizations, and grants. I share with you how I helped make it happen and how you can too. This episode is a roadmap for those who want to bring truly impactful wellness programming to healthcare settings—programs that nourish, connect, and transform rather than check a box or deliver more burnout in disguise. With clarity, hope, and grounded optimism, I offer what I've learned from decades in the physician wellness space and what often moves the needle. Whether you're a leader, a wellness advocate, or simply someone who cares deeply about your colleagues and your own well-being, this episode will empower you with both mindset and strategy to make real change. Pearls of Wisdom: Believe it's possible—because it is. The first and most important step to getting wellness programs funded is unwavering belief. When you bring grounded confidence and clarity to your request, funding often follows. Experience the transformation yourself first. Engaging personally in a coaching program or retreat is what gives you the insight, energy, and credibility to advocate successfully for your team or institution. Effective wellness programming gets funded. When you offer something proven to make a real difference—something restorative, skill-based, and community-focused—funding is far more likely. Creative funding abounds-- if you know where to look. Departmental funds, philanthropy grants, CME budgets, leadership development funds, and quality-of-care and patient care experience initiatives are all potential sources of support. Invite leadership in. When leaders participate in wellness programming, they become their most powerful champions. Experiencing wellness programs firsthand not only helps them become more well, but it also shifts their mindset and opens the door to culture change. Reflection Questions: What beliefs do you hold about the possibility of bringing meaningful wellness to your organization? How might your personal wellness journey serve as a catalyst for broader change? Who could you invite to plant the seed for future transformation? Stay tuned until the end for a mindful moment to center your intentions and renew your belief in what's possible—for you, your team, and the future of healthcare. If you are ready to bring meaningful wellness programming to your organization, I would love to help.  This is my specialty. I've led programs for physicians across the country—from department-sponsored retreats to grant-supported leadership workshops. If you're in the Bay Area, I can create something beautiful in Nicasio. If you're elsewhere, I can come to you and facilitate an experience where you are- with the caveat that I insist on settings that enhance the impact of the programming.  Visit https://www.jessiemahoneymd.com/retreats to learn more about opportunities to start by experiencing a retreat for yourself.  To explore coaching that will help you not only be well but also become a powerful advocate for wellness, visit https://www.jessiemahoneymd.com/coaching. If you're interested in bringing me to speak or lead a wellness workshop or retreat for your institution or conference, reach out here: https://www.jessiemahoneymd.com/speaking. I'd love to partner with you to create meaningful change. *Nothing shared in the Mindful Healers Podcast is medical advice.

We've been sold this idea that work and life are two separate things—one to survive, the other to enjoy. But here's the truth: It's all just life. The best workplaces don't force people to "balance" their time between stress and fulfillment. They create cultures where work itself is a source of purpose, growth, and well-being.That's exactly what Teresa Roche, Chair of the Learning Innovation Laboratory at Harvard and CHRO at the City of Fort Collins, has helped build—an adaptive and well-being-driven organization where people don't just work, they flourish. Teresa Roche is a transformational HR leader with expertise in building well-being-driven workplaces. As CHRO of the City of Fort Collins, she has led innovative talent strategies, inclusion initiatives, and the Future of Work, shaping a culture where people and performance thrive. Previously, she drove leadership development at Agilent Technologies, ensuring 90% of senior roles were filled internally. In this episode of the Happiness Squad Podcast, Ashish Kothari and Teresa Roche explore how leaders can start designing purposeful workplaces that fuel both performance and well-being.Things you will learn in this episode:• The myth of work-life balance• The importance of building a workplace culture that prioritizes well-being• Why well-being must be an organizational priority• Why organizations need to make the systemic shift to promote wellness• The ROI of creating flourishing organizations• The role of leaders in driving a flourishing cultureThe system needs to change!

Twice recently I have had reviews that accused me of being a fear mongerer because I tell the truth about hospital birth.  I'm not scared of negative reviews because it means I've hit a nerve -- that's good!  Let's talk about it. Galatians 4:16 says, "Have I therefore become your enemy because I tell you the truth?"  Sometimes the truth hurts, and sometimes warnings are needed when real danger awaits.  I'm diving into the hornet's nest today as I face the bad reviews.    Helpful Links: — BIBLE STUDY - FREE Bible Study Course - How To Be Sure Of Your Salvation - https://the-ruffled-mango-school.teachable.com/p/how-to-be-sure-of-your-salvation   — CHRISTIAN CHILDBIRTH EDUCATION - Sign up HERE for the Your Birth, God's Way Online Christian Childbirth Course!
