Are you a caregiver or do you think about what it may be like to someday be a caregiver?  This information-packed episode is for you. This week’s guest, Dr. Logan DuBose, is certainly a Blueprint Breaker, but not in the way we usually discuss.  He is our first male guest, and he is not over 40, but his mission is critically important and I decided you needed to meet him and hear all about it.

We discuss the state of the current eldercare system, and it is easy to get discouraged when you hear about how far we have to go to be able to provide good care for our elderly loved ones.  However, Dr. DuBose also provides a lot of guidance and resources that we can use as we navigate this season.  We discuss finding good care, financial challenges, where to find support and more!

About Dr. Logan DuBose

Dr. Logan DuBose is a Resident Physician in Internal Medicine at George Washington University Hospital and co-founder of Olera, Inc.. Logan combines expertise in clinical medicine and business administration to revolutionize senior care services. His passion for improving lives drives Olera.care's mission of comprehensive and compassionate care solutions.

I am taking a break from hosting and interviewing this week! As part of my birthday celebration, I considered doing a “turn the tables” episode where I get put in the hot seat and get interviewed by a friend/colleague.  Then I remembered I was interviewed by a colleague recently and really enjoyed the conversation! 

My fellow nomadic podcaster, Lori Saitz, interviewed me for her podcast “Fine is a 4-letter word” for an episode called "Breaking the Blueprint”. We discuss starting over, taking sabbaticals, my personal history leading up to the events of recent years and more.  Lori is a fabulous interviewer & she summarizes our conversation with some spot on takeaways. As I take a rest from hosting this week- enjoy this conversation between Lori & I. 

About Lori Saitz

Lori Saitz is the founder and CEO of Zen Rabbit and host of the podcast “Fine is a 4-Letter Word.” An award-winning author, speaker, and broadcaster, Lori is on a mission to teach the world to be calm and grounded no matter what’s going on.

High achievers come to her because they have a strong drive to be productive, but at the end of the day never feel accomplished enough. As a nationally recognized gratitude and meditation expert, Lori guides those entrepreneurs and business leaders from stressed and chaotic to peaceful and focused and shows them how to live a sabbatical life. Then they then start seeing sales increase, relationships strengthen, and overall health improve.

You can often find Lori in her sanctuary, aka the weight room at the gym. She also loves cupcakes, Thai food, and classic rock music.

In this week’s episode, we explore a powerful tool for transformation and overcoming limiting beliefs: breathwork. Through this practice, today’s guest, Suzanne Lederer  learned to embody her truths, release repressed emotions, and find a sense of peace within. Join us as we explore the profound impact of breathwork on her journey to healing and how it has allowed Suzanne to invite love, grace, and presence into every aspect of her life. 

1️⃣ Embrace Your Emotions: Rather than suppressing or numbing our emotions, breathwork allows us to fully feel and process them. By embodying our emotions and recognizing unmet needs, we can develop a healthier relationship with ourselves and others.

2️⃣ Calming the Nervous System: Chronic stress and trauma can wreak havoc on our bodies, leading to physical and mental health issues. Through regulation tools, such as breathwork, we can calm our overactive nervous system and invite love and grace into all parts of ourselves.

3️⃣ Rewiring the Brain: Breathwork has the power to rewire our brains and release past traumas. By connecting with the sensations in our bodies and utilizing specific breathwork techniques, we can release deeply held patterns and beliefs, opening the door to healing and transformation.

About Suzanne Lederer

Suzanne is a Hypnotic, Breathwork Facilitator, and Trauma Informed Somatic Breathwork Practitioner. Suzanne has an undeniable passion for educating others on the nervous system and regulation tools. Her story is just proof of the power of this work. After being diagnosed with an autoimmune disease in 2010, she became obsessed with healing, changing her diet and many biohacks, but she steadily kept disassociating from her body and emotions. Suzanne realized she could no longer escape her pain and anxiety, it was time to go within and face the sadness, trauma, dysregulated nervous system, and ultimately, embodying her truths, not just in her head but her heart. Stepping into her true self. Suzanne is here to show you that healing is possible. You can truly feel her supportive intentions in creating an environment of safety in order to allow your healing to happen.
