Today’s show focuses on highly sensitive people. My guest loves helping HSPs uncover the layers of conditioning put on them by society and bloom in their uniqueness. Join us to learn more. Julia R. Wild is a bestselling author, spiritual teacher, and trauma educator with a Master’s degree in psychology. She’s also a writing, creativity, and life coach. Her first self-help book for sensitives became an Amazon #1 bestseller, and she’s a TEDxMileHigh Blogger. Julia loves helping highly sensitive and empath children and women find their soulful, powerful voice. Part of her work also helps parents of highly sensitive children better relate to their kids. Julia enjoys disrupting conformity and subverting the dominant paradigms so people can express their unique, sovereign creativity and live extraordinary lives. She is a big believer in writing for healing and embracing the shadow as much as the light. She has two projects slated for publication soon, including her Master’s thesis on autism from a spiritual perspective. Show Highlights: Why is Julia intensely passionate about her creativity, being an “old soul,” helping people find their voice, social justice, equality, and animals How Julia grew up in a household with extreme abuse and dysfunction in Manhattan but attended an all-girls private school How Julia’s personal brand of intensity involves being direct and blunt with a heightened sensory perception of sounds and smells Growing up, Julia’s intensity made everything more pressurized and challenging because of her toxic home and stuffy school How Julia’s cultural factors involved growing up in the rich environment of NYC, which gave her perspective and helped her be open-minded Why Julia has to water down what she says and writes How her intensity gets out of control with things she finds too stimulating How Julia uses her fire for good to help sensitives set boundaries and self-advocate Julia’s Master’s thesis, which gives a new, more balanced perspective to autism How Julia harnesses the power of her intensity with self-care, valuing her capacity for depth, and using her intensity in service to others Personal habits that help Julia are writing, channeling energy, and finding an appropriate use of humor The best advice Julia ever received: From Maya Angelou: “When someone shows you who they are, pay attention the first time.” From the Buddha: “Don’t believe anything because you heard it. Find out for yourself.” “You’ve gotta risk it to get the biscuit.” Books that Julia recommends: Proof of Heaven by Eben Alexander, Walden, by Henry David Thoreau, Citizen by Claudia Rankine, and The Highly Sensitive Person by Elaine Aron How Julia helps others use their fire by “unconditioning” people and undoing the layers of conditioning that have been put on them by society Parting words from Julia: “Honor your sensitivity. If you’re weird or different, stay weird or different. It’s healing to tell your story, so value it.” Resources: Find Julia and her work:  Julia Rose Wild

Sometimes the real challenge in treating an airway disorder is getting the patient to actually take our advice—which can mean encouraging the other care providers a patient has to speak to them about the problem. This week’s guest believes in not only treating airway disorders within our profession, but reaching out to other medical fields to ensure these problems are comprehensively addressed.   Julia Worrall, “The Sleep RN,” is a registered nurse and the program director of the FAH Airway Advocate Program, which advocates for greater awareness and treatment of airway issues. A member of the National Commission on Correctional Health Care, she works tirelessly to address the epidemic of sleep disorders affecting Americans today.   In this episode, Julia explains how hygienists can sound the alarm on airway issues, discusses how dental professionals can link up with people in other fields to tackle these problems, and suggests ways we can more effectively reach out to patients about airway concerns.     EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Interview starts: 16:30 - Why Julia really appreciates the learning curve aspect of her work, even if it means having to discard what she thought to be true.   - Overcoming our natural impostor syndrome as the dental community takes on more and more medical issues.   - How dental professionals can become “first responders” when it comes to airway issues.   - Why how we communicate our airway concerns to patients can affect if they actually take our advice.   - On building bridges with nurses and other members of different medical professions.   - How our knowledge of airway issues has changed over the course of 2019—and what Julia says 2020 has in store for us.   - Getting over your fear of admitting “I don’t know.”   - What’s the most interesting thing Julia has learned at this conference?     QUOTES:   “We’re also professionals and that means we don’t stay stuck in what we believe to be true when there’s new evidence.”   “You have to balance your time with what you’re teaching and what you’re learning.”   “Own your space, own your knowledge.”   “Each patient that you have deserves 100%.”   “I wanna help you guys get to where you’re seen, you’re heard, you’re validated.” LINKS:   Face My Pain - https://facemypain.com/Site/Home   Julia’s email: julia@facemypain.com    FACE on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/FACEMovement.World/   Foundation for Airway Health - https://www.airwayhealth.org/   Continuing Education Alliance - https://ceaeducation.net/   Correct Sleep - http://correctsleep.com/ A Tale of Two Hygienists homepage - https://ataleoftwohygienists.com/     AToTH on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/aTaleOfTwoHygienists/     AToTH on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/ataleoftwohygienists     AToTH on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/atoth/?originalSubdomain=ca  

Julia Steel is the author of Buy-In – How to Lead Change, Build Commitment and Inspire People. Over the last two decades Julia has worked with leaders around the world to plan and execute strategy in their business. She knows that frameworks and PowerPoint are not enough to deliver results on their own. That success depends on the buy-in of people, their ability to deliver, and lead change. When organisations and people struggle to execute, it affects confidence at every level. Values like trust, passion, and integrity, are replaced with tension and frustration that ultimately deliver a lack of results. During the conversation Julian explores Julia’s book, Buy-In, in detail. Episode highlights include: Why Julia decided to write Buy-In What buy-in looks like and why it matters Competence killers, and confident competence Why engagement isn’t enough and how we can build commitment Links Julia's LinkedIn Profile Julia's Website Purchase a copy of Buy-In

This episode, Tom interviews Julia Freeland Fisher, the Director of Education at the Clayton Christensen Institute. For a decade, since Clay Christensen and Michael Horn published Disrupting Class: How Disruptive Innovation Will Change the Way the World Learns, the team at the Clayton Christensen Institute has been known as a leader in blended and personalized learning — as well as the idea of disruptive innovation.   In Julia’s new book, Who You Know: Unlocking Innovations That Expand Students’ Networks, she explores the importance of social capital. She emphasizes the idea that who you know matters greatly in terms of a child’s success in the future.   In this podcast, Julia shares information about her new book and describes innovative approaches to helping young people develop social networks. She also speaks about the process of writing the book as well as her journey that got her to this point.   “Children's networks — their reservoir of social capital and ability to bank on that capital for support, advice, or opportunities down the line — remains largely determined by random luck: the luck of where children are born, whom their parents know, and whom they happen to end up sitting next to in class.” — Julia Freeland Fisher (Who You Know: Unlocking Innovations That Expand Students’ Networks)   Key Takeaways: [:19] About today’s topic and guest.

She says: the less scripted the show, the more fun the interview. My old college buddies would agree: Justus loves "doing it live". So I agreed to do the episode with ZERO PREPARATION. Typically I prepare for interviews with rigorous research and outline a list of topics to talk about. In this case I did no such thing.
