Marc Houser PhD

Kathryn interviews FranklinCovey Senior Consultant Todd Davis.In these increasingly divisive times, with ongoing layoffs, mergers, and return to office adjustments - difficult conversations are fast becoming the norm in the workplace. However, recent client interviews and workforce surveys from FranklinCovey, the global leader in leadership and professional development, found that both leaders and employees often avoid having difficult conversations or feel that they handle them poorly. In response to these results, Franklin Covey Senior Consultant Todd Davis addresses the top challenge in difficult conversations: the emotional tension. He teaches us strategies and tips for shifting mindset from the fear of difficult conversations to seeing them as the way to make progress on important issues. He has over 35 years of experience in human resources, talent development and executive recruiting.Kathryn also interviews Author Marc Houser PhD.Each year at least a billion children around the world are victims of adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) that range from physical abuse to racial discrimination to neglect and food deprivation. Those dealt a hand of ACEs are more likely to drop out of school, have a shorter life, abuse substances, and suffer from myriad mental health and behavioral issues. Neurobiologist and educator Marc Hauser PhD provides a novel, research-based framework to understand a child’s unique response to ACEs that goes beyond our current understanding and is centered around the five Ts—the timing during development when the trauma began, its type, tenure, toxicity, and how much turbulence it has caused in a child’s life. He is the founder of Risk Eraser, a program that helps at-risk kids lead healthier lives. He is a former professor of evolutionary biology and psychology at Harvard University and the author of over three hundred papers.

Dr. Kathleen Corley

Kathryn interviews Author Bella DePaulo PhD.It's common knowledge that single women are lonely, desperate for a partner, and envious of every couple they see. Spinsters struggle later in life, never feel fulfilled, and would just love for you to set them up with your neighbor’s nephew. But, what if society’s ideas about single people—who, by the way, comprise half of the adult population—are wrong? Bella DePaulo PhD challenges the notion that single life is something people settle for, and shows that for millions, in every part of the world, being unpartnered is the key to their most joyful, fulfilling, authentic, and psychologically rich life. Drawing on more than three decades of social science research, and her own experience as a 70-year-old woman happily single her entire life, DePaulo—whose TEDx Talk on the topic has more than 1.7 million views—paints a bold and groundbreaking picture of the myriad benefits of investing in your single life. Bella DePaulo PhD ( Harvard University) has always been single and always will be. The Atlantic calls her “America’s foremost thinker and writer on the single experience.”Kathryn also interviews Author Dr. Kathleen Corley.Without question, schools today grapple with obstacles unheard of a generation ago, and yet, elementary school principal Dr. Kathleen Corley has figured out how to transform her school into a warm, nurturing community where students embrace a passion for learning. As a 40-year veteran in elementary education, she shares how to overcome current obstacles in education with human interest stories that illuminate a brighter path forward. Using humor, insight and optimism, Dr. Corley reminds readers that despite the problems in schools today — disagreements about what students should or should not be taught, the lingering effects of COVID, etc. — magic still happens in classrooms. She who has been called a Pied Piper of Education, can be seen leading the student drumline down the halls of Palmetto’s Finest Award-winning Red Cedar Elementary School.

With over 35 years of experience in senior management and as a business owner/entrepreneur, Lynda-Ross is an expert at harnessing the power of perception to help individuals and organizations implement change, empower collaboration, and develop talent.Kathryn also interviews Author Angela Radcliffe.Artificial Intelligence (AI) is in the news daily. Everyone is talking about it. Governments are discussing how to regulate it. It is the wave of the future and has already begun to change our world. Deep fakes from it can interfere with elections , business, and daily life causing discord. Some businesses believe AI could replace workers. Even though we hear about it daily, we do not know what it truly is. It is confusing for everyone. Able to help us better understand is best-selling author Angela Radcliffe.

Stephan Poulter Phd

Kathryn interviews Author Randy Fertel PhD.Improv has given us some of the greatest creative work ever produced. From Louis Armstrong to Robin Williams, their genius was forged from their in-the-moment brilliance. Improv has also led to great advancements in science, technology, and business, with the idea of “yes, and…” leading to the openness that drives innovation. But as Randy Fertel—born in New Orleans and raised on its jazz—shows us, improv has also led to phrases like “Lock Her Up,” and the rise of a past—and perhaps future—President who connects with his supporters with an off-the-cuff speaking style they perceive as authentic and straight-shooting. Fertel explains the persuasive power of Trump’s charismatic BS-ing in historical context, and he shows how a facility with improvisation has played a pivotal role in so much of our cultural, political, and scientific development. He has a PhD from Harvard University, and is president of the Ruth U Fertel Foundation, named for his mother, Ruth Fertel, founder of Ruth's Chris Steak House.Kathryn also interviews Author Stephan Poulter PhD.Men are in crisis. The old model of masculinity is dying. Women are saying “enough” to it and so are many men. Your father’s masculinity—the one that denied him any emotions except anger and too often led to tragic personal, familial, and social outcomes—is rightfully going the way of the dinosaur. But what should replace it and how can men embrace a new, healthy model of masculinity? Stephan B. Poulter Phd offers a comprehensive answer. Threaded with stories from his work with men, self-assessment quizzes, and practical strategies, he guides men in cultivating emotional intelligence, building meaningful relationships and overcoming trauma. He sheds some light on the link between toxic masculinity and male violence as well as the shame men experience when asking for help from doctors or medical professionals. Stephan is a renowned LA based clinical psychologist with over thirty years of experience. He is married, a father of four, and an author of several books including The Shame Factor and Father Your Son.

Susan Partovi MD

Kathryn interviews Author Frank Forencich.In the popular imagination, activism is usually seen as an inconvenient, difficult, and stressful enterprise. But what if we’re wrong about all of that? Could activism actually make the human animal stronger? As the co-creator of an innovation organization Activism Is Medicine, Frank Forencich emphasizes the transformative power of activism as a remedy for building resilience, purpose, and overall health. He seeks to redefine activism not as a burden but as a gift that individuals can embrace for personal growth and positive societal change. He has been a featured speaker at prestigious events, including the Ancestral Health Symposium, Google, the Dr. Robert D. Conn Heart Conference, the Welsh Pain Society, and the Stanford University Institute of Design.Kathryn also interviews Author Susan Partovi MD.Dr. Susan Partovi first experienced poverty medicine volunteering at a dump site in Tijuana during high school. There, she recognized the need for all people to have access to quality medical care. Over the years, she has worked in various facilities around Los Angeles County, incorporating her renegade method of going the extra mile for her patients. As Medical Director of Homeless Health Care Los Angeles, she works to provide a safety net of care for the underserved Skid Row community. She started documenting her patients’ stories so that others could hear their voices. Along the way, she began to understand how her personal ethics evolved—from a challenging childhood and complicated relationships with her parents, through professional hurdles—often, she had to push against a system that doesn’t always put the patient first.

Susan Partovi MD

Kathryn interviews Author Frank Forencich.In the popular imagination, activism is usually seen as an inconvenient, difficult, and stressful enterprise. But what if we’re wrong about all of that? Could activism actually make the human animal stronger? As the co-creator of an innovation organization Activism Is Medicine, Frank Forencich emphasizes the transformative power of activism as a remedy for building resilience, purpose, and overall health. He seeks to redefine activism not as a burden but as a gift that individuals can embrace for personal growth and positive societal change. He has been a featured speaker at prestigious events, including the Ancestral Health Symposium, Google, the Dr. Robert D. Conn Heart Conference, the Welsh Pain Society, and the Stanford University Institute of Design.Kathryn also interviews Author Susan Partovi MD.Dr. Susan Partovi first experienced poverty medicine volunteering at a dump site in Tijuana during high school. There, she recognized the need for all people to have access to quality medical care. Over the years, she has worked in various facilities around Los Angeles County, incorporating her renegade method of going the extra mile for her patients. As Medical Director of Homeless Health Care Los Angeles, she works to provide a safety net of care for the underserved Skid Row community. She started documenting her patients’ stories so that others could hear their voices. Along the way, she began to understand how her personal ethics evolved—from a challenging childhood and complicated relationships with her parents, through professional hurdles—often, she had to push against a system that doesn’t always put the patient first. She was dubbed the “Renegade MD” by Los Angeles Magazine for her unconventional tactics to earn the trust of her patients.

Joyce Bender

Kathryn interviews Author Khara Croswaite Brindle LMHT.As many as 1 in 12 people are estranged from a family member. The choice is a challenging one and typically follows an emotional cycle that eventually lessens the grief and leads them to discover a new sense of self. Daughters who have experienced repeated discomfort, hurt, trauma, or risks to safety from their mothers, will often grapple with the decision to estrange. Their choice is neither impulsive nor rash. When exploring their current relationship, their growing awareness of alienation, lack of affection, abuse, or neglect can push them to consider cutting ties. Khara Croswaite Brindle examines the challenges and needs of adult daughters navigating the immensely difficult and defining event of estranging from their mother. She is a licensed mental health therapist in private practice in Denver, Colorado and holds various other roles, including financial therapist,TEDx Speaker, burnout consultant, author and professor.Kathryn also interviews Radio Host Joyce Bender.In 1985, Joyce Bender had a life-threatening accident due to epilepsy that caused a cerebral hemorrhage requiring subsequent brain surgery.
