Show Notes  I think most all working adults have experienced (or are experiencing) the sluggish malaise of a burn out. These are the times when our joy of life just feels stalled and all that remains is stress and anxiety. I, myself, am just emerging from that nearly paralyzing state of burn out. For that reason, I am so much looking forward to our conversation today with one of my very favorite podcast guests: Lindsay Davis. Lindsay is a business and life coach for high performers. She “lives” in the success arena and fully understands one of the greatest issues facing high performers—burn out! I have so much more to say but, instead, why don’t we just bring on our voice of sanity, Lindsay Davis. You can contact Lindsay at [email protected] Get Lindsay’s Path to Possibility Journal at http://thepathtopossibilityjournal.com/ For more with Charlie Hedges please visit www.thenextchapter.life    

Today's guest is Banks Benitez. Banks is the Co-Founder and CEO of Uncharted. Teresa and Banks discuss the advantages and challenges of a 4-Day Work Week.

Banks moved the organization to a 4-day workweek where people get 100% compensation to work 32-hours a week over four days. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many offices moved to hybrid or remote work, and some have started a 4-Day Work Week, many experienced the "Great Resignation." Companies needed to think about what matters most to their employees and how they can better serve them. Teresa and Banks talk about implementing the 4-Day Work Week and what it has done for his company.

JB surprised me with a dedication to my 20th year survivor-versary!

In this episode of Living Hope we continue our conversation we started on March 24.  What to do when a loved one dies?  This is a subject no one wants to talk about but at some point it's information that can be helpful.  If we can all set down and talk about what we want when we die it would be so helpful for those left behind.  What is a  Advanced Health Care Directive? Is one needed?  Who needs to be notified? What kind of service should we have?  Would a check list be beneficial? These are some of the topics we talked about. It can be a heavy subject but we did have some laughs along the way.

At the time of this episode, Courtney Sparkuhl was a licensed clinical social worker at UC Irvine Health. Courtney has sense left UC Irvine Health to start her own private practice, "Counseling for Cancer and Chronic Illness"

Is death the last taboo topic in America? It's a difficult conversation but one we all should have.  This topic is not meant to take away hope or pose a negativity but to provide the resources when the time comes.  We talk about what we should do.  What to do first, telling friends and family and so much more.

Ever wonder what it would be like to travel around the world?  Well this week's guest, Richard Davis from Florida did just that when the engineer in him started calculating how far he'd actually ridden since buying his Pedego Electric Bike. Suddenly realizing that he'd racked up enough miles to have gone half way around the world.  Which led him to start keeping a daily log and figuring out where exactly that would put him on his imaginary journey back home. 

A goal requiring precise engineering and perseverance that has inspired him to get up each day and ride a little more until he's finally pedaled enough miles to have travelled completely around the world (a little over 4000 km total). 

An amazing feat he estimates he'll reach at his current pace by the end of this year (if his calculator is correct!)

Stephannie helped take care of her grandmother, she wasn't her Caregiver in the traditional sense.  When asked to describe her grandmother Stephannie lovingly replied "tomboy and lace." Stephannie visited her grandmother everyday after she got home from work.  While others took care of her physical needs, Stephannie, which is just as important, took care of her emotional needs. Whether it was reading her stories, telling jokes, or modeling, Stephannie and her grandmother shared a very special time.

Stephannie, not yet over the loss of her beloved grandmother, finds herself dealing once again with a loved ones diagnosis of pancreatic cancer.  This time it is her mother-in-law, a woman she loves and respects.  Obviously, this woman feels the same way, she asks Stephannie to be her Caregiver.  Stephannie felt honored and she and her family moved to be closer to her mother-in-law.  Stephannie assumed the full responsibility of being her Caregiver, sometimes upsetting other family members.  Watch/listen as Stephannie shares her experience as a Caregiver in different capacities. @OC Talk Radio Orange County’s only community radio station streaming live from @UCI Beall Applied Innovation at the Cove.
