Ever wonder how tales more twisted than a labyrinth find their way into the zeitgeist? Pauline Hoffman, Ph.D. , an infodemiologist with a knack for unraveling the tangled web of misinformation, joins us for an eye-opening chat that's as enlightening as it is essential. Together, we traipse through the murky realms of modern-day witch hunts and the dire consequences of disinformation. But it's not all doom and gloom; Pauline's insights provide a beacon of hope, illuminating the path to discerning truth in a post-truth world.This episode's narrative arc bends towards the bizarre and wonderfully human. We get candid about the intersection of science and spirituality, discussing how unexplained phenomena like goosebumps can coexist with the rigor of research. The conversation takes whimsical detours, too—imagine stumbling upon a roadside coffin for sale, sparking a quirky convo and a business brainwave. And for the bibliophiles, the buzz about Beekeeper's Bookshop holds the promise of a community sanctuary for literature lovers. Wrapping things up with a heartwarming segment, listeners share their wildest stories and we honor the afterlife wishes of loved ones with a blend of sentiment and humor. Pauline's departure from our tea-spilling soirée leaves us not only pondering the complexities of our digital epoch but also holding onto the thread of human connection that weaves through every tale we tell.

Struggling to carry the weight of the chaos, of the disruption, of the trauma.In today’s climate, we’re asking more of coaches than ever before. Modern coaching has proven to all that the quality of the coach-athlete relationship is the primary predictor for an athlete’s performance. And without an expanded tool set, coaches can feel frustrated as they work to meet the diverse needs of their athletes.Nothing Heals Like Sport – A New Playbook for Coaches gives coaches these tools.These are the tools that help them center their athletes and understand what happens as athletes develop. These are the tools to support athletes through adversity- whether that adversity comes only on the court or is part of their athlete’s lived experience. These are the tools that help coaches, so coaches can then help athletes.Our partnership with Dr. Bruce D. Perry M.D., Ph.D., and the Neurosequential Network has fueled the development of this playbook. These skills and strategies are an intentional merging of Dr. Perry’s core, groundbreaking concepts and the coaching expertise and connected community of the Center for Healing and Justice through Sport.We believe these tools will help YOU so that you can then support your athletes in all the ways a modern athlete requires. We also know that when your athletes feel supported and take ownership of their team, you win more games (a lot more games). The spaces where athletes perform their best athletically are exactly those spaces where they feel safe, seen and encouraged to be their whole selves. They are the spaces of healing-centered, brain-based coaching. ~Center for Healing & Justice Through Sport"Grab a warm drink and join us- we saved a seat for you.
