  A Perfectly Imperfect Union: Reflection on America 250 with Dr. Mike Roizen

  Oct 3, 202629 min

  In the latest episode of A Perfectly Imperfect Union, I travel to The Buckeye State to connect with Dr. Mike Roizen and we talk about this question. What would you do with 25 more good years? Dr. Mike Roizen believes this is possible for most of us. For him, America means freedom of opportunity and his vision for us starts with health. He led a wellness program that cut the Cleveland Clinic's employee healthcare costs by 38%, and he believes we can do the same as a nation. He's all about staying younger longer, with more years to work, contribute, and build an abundant life. Discover more about Dr. Mike's work here. And his question for you and our next guest is: What's one thing you do that could reach more people, and what would it take?

  Growth Mindset Tip #39 -  Equanimity and Wu Wei for Mindfulness and Resilience

  Oct 2, 202612 min

  How tightly are you gripping the handlebars right now? I explore why so many of us are clenching against a world of accelerating uncertainty, why that grip leaves us exhausted and feeling every bump in the road, and how easing up lets us absorb setbacks without losing momentum. You don't give up control. You let balance do its job. My invitation for you this week? Notice when you start to tense up. Acknowledge the fear, then release the tension, using your breath, mindful movement, or yoga to come back to center. Make small shifts instead of reaching for a big fix. And trust your process enough to let momentum do some of the work. You can now download my Pause Breathe Reflect App with Microdose EQ for FREE on Apple’s App Store or Google Play.

  Ted Lasso Episode 8 Season 4 - You Matter: A Key for Resilience

  Sep 30, 202613 min

  What happens when the concern fades, and all that's left is silence? Alice knows. And in episode eight of Ted Lasso season four, she finally says it out loud. I know it too. Apple titled this one "Follow the Anger." Michael has a better name for it: The Road Back. It's the stage of the hero's journey (or in Alice's case, the she-ro's journey) where our hero believes she's found her way home, only to be tested one more time. When Gemma goes down mid-match chasing a hat trick, all of Alice's old career-ending pain rushes back to the surface. Alice asks Rebecca to promise that Gemma won't disappear in real time, and that from the bottom of the organization to the very top, Gemma will know she still matters. Not just as a player. As a person. Resilience was never meant to be a solo ride. We all need a peloton. Think of someone who's going through something and hasn't heard from you in a while. Reach out today. One call or one message might be the reminder they need that they haven't been forgotten.

  Sep 29, 202633 min

  In the latest episode of A Perfectly Imperfect Union, I travel to the Sooner State to connect with Andy Moore. We discuss whether America is a noun or a verb. Is America a noun or a verb? He runs Let's Fix This, a nonpartisan civic hub for Oklahoma, and serves as executive director of the National Association of Nonpartisan Reformers.
