Grand Rounds

We are so excited to share their conversation with a woman who inspires us on a daily basis.  Master indoor cyclist, Christine D’Ercole is a household name for spinning enthusiasts who ride with Peloton.  Christine is an athlete who harnesses words and self talk to bring us all up with her.  Christine shares her purpose with us both on and off of the bike.  As you hear her words, you can’t help but find yourself inspired to change your self chatter.

We are close to wrapping up season 1.  We revisit some highlights from our guests.  We recorded this on the 10 year Jahrzeit (anniversary of death) of our father.  We remember him with laughter and tears.  Our podcast is a legacy dedicated to our Dad, who was larger than life.  

A grandmother’s heart is not sappy. It is strong and has perspective. We spoke with Roshi Joan about the moral suffering that doctors, nurses and clinicians are feeling in 2020. Contemplative practice allows us to beat witness, but NOT to bypass or “zen out” from our moral challenges. 

The Drs. Sloan are a power couple in Houston, Texas.  Dr. Sonja Sloan is an orthopaedic surgeon, author and pillar of her community.  Dr. Timothy Sloan is the pastor of The Luke Church, with a congregation of greater than 5000 people.  He is also an author and an activist.  We spent time with them the day after the Brianna Taylor ruling.

We caught up with our friend, Joel Stein, with his expected brilliance, humor and humility.  We were prepared for so much from him…  but we were caught off guard when we uncovered the fact the THE JOEL STEIN is fostering a daily gratitude practice.

His latest book, In Defense of Elitism, keeps disappearing from our homes because people are loving it that much.

We got to spend time with Cady Coleman, a retired astronaut.  She talks about her path to becoming an astronaut, the creative approaches she took as a woman at NASA, and what it is like to be a mother in space.  We can't wait for you to experience the bright spirit and brilliance that is Cady Coleman.
