September 27, 2020 The Ultimate College Student Health Handbook with Jill Grimes M.D.
Are you worried about sending your child to college during a pandemic? Dr. Grimes tells us what she puts into her College Student “Care Package” including new additions for life during a pandemic.
Listen as we discuss the best ways to protect your child and you from traveling and college life.
We also discuss going back to school for kids in general and rules for staying safe and healthy.
In the second half of the segment, Dr. Grimes talks about what threat to college students’ wellness keeps her up at night.
What is the best advice that parents can give their child before going off to college for the first time?
College will likely be the best years of your life so far...BUT there will still be bad DAYS and even weeks thrown in the mix. Many students have such high expectations that when the first disappointments hit (especially not making the club/Greek org they wanted, their first bad grade, not liking their roommate) it feels twice as devastating. Also, at first, join everything! Don’t wait for the “perfect” group. This is your chance to explore everything from political to service to quirky art clubs, and a wonderful time to meet people with totally different backgrounds and perspectives. As you settle in, you will quickly figure out which ones you enjoy and which ones you should drop.

Sara Auster
She is a sound therapist but I know she’s so much more than that. I think of her as a sound artist as it’s apparent in the deep quality of attention she gives to everything about her. Her media presence and beautiful presentation of sound bowls and her highly curated experience starts the moment you visit her website or encounter her on social media, and continues through conversations in person. She has a deep sense of calm and a lovely, welcoming air about her. She’s genuine, focused, and deeply true to her art form - meditative healing through sound baths.
She has curated events in intimate spaces at schools, hospitals, and small boardrooms as well as in massive large-scale events like MoMA, Lincoln Center, Central Park SummerStage, Madison Square Garden, and internationally at the Palais de Tokyo in Paris.
Partners include Sonos, Nike, Kripalu, New York Open Center and the Rubin Museum.
Global brands like Amex, Apple and Microsoft have brought her on as a facilitator and advisor.

September 01, 2020 Meditation 10 Min Overwhelm to Calm Focus
Short meditation for when you're feeling overwhelmed with a jumble of things to do? Everything seems important and needed to be done yesterday? You're in the right place.

Shift your physiology to open awareness and the ability to think clearly by activating your top-down brain. Change your chemistry so you can absorb new information and be more efficient, while enjoying the work.
Clarity will guide you to the most important thing that you need to do and you will get a lot more done after your mind settles and you can focus on each task with full attention.

August 23, 2020 Technology and Mental Wellness with John Naslund, PhD Instructor of Global Health and Social Medicine at Harvard Medical School
Dr. John Naslund wants to bridge the gap in bringing mental health and wellness to those who have little or no access to care. We talk about prevention, early detection, and effective treatments.
We discuss crucial stages of life, where we can make a huge difference in setting our kids up for mental wellness.
Current research shows how incredibly effective low tech, non-pharmaceutical cognitive (thought) based interventions like Behavioral Activation for Depression is, yet we have no means of delivering these simple treatments to people who really need it.
Dr. Naslund is using technology to train general healthcare workers to deliver this care to rural areas in India. He has been involved in projects funded by the NIH and CDC to develop and distribute programs to those who most need it, in the U.S., Haiti, and Colombia.
He has over 60 peer-reviewed publications and is passionate about early diagnosis and the delivery of high quality care to all people, especially the vulnerable populations who have no access to healthcare.

July 26, 2020 Spiritual Rockstar Biet Simkin Translates Ancient Teachings to Modern Meditation
Biet Simkin is definitely a unique voice in the meditation world. She is a bridge between the ancient work of shamans and the modern language of rock and roll and fashion. Biet is best known for modernizing the spiritual path and has been called the "Meditation Guru for the next generation.”
Her immersive meditation experiences have reached contemporary audiences in cultural spaces, including museums, hotels, and fashion shows. She even scores her own music to go along with these experiences and she was one of the first to mix meditation with pop culture. Biet learned most of her spiritual teachings from her father who exposed her to a wide variety of material in her teen years.
Biet's father was a medical doctor in Russia, before they immigrated to New York. He had healed himself of Tuberculosis and became a practicing shaman and healer. Biet lost her beloved mother at a very young age and was left to fend for herself in day to day life. A talented singer and songwriter, she fell into the rock and roll world, eventually spiraling down into addiction.
She found a deep resilience after many tragic losses and now she straddles both the deep spiritual world where material goods mean nothing and the day to day, practical spiritual world, where everything from temper tantrums to material desires all exist. She shows us that these things can, and do, co-exist. Biet's refreshing take on unapologetically embracing the entirety of human existence, the range of ugly to beautiful, is really quite extraordinary. I'm certain that this is the reason so many people resonate with her teachings.
