I had the great fortune to be a guest on Martin Medeiros' podcast, The Persuasion Lab!

Here's what it's all about:

"While negotiation is often thought of as a purely mental effort, the truth is that if you haven't taken care of your body, your mind won't be at its sharpest. Which means you're in danger of not being able to get your needs met. Learn how to keep your body AND mind in tip top shape in this episode, as Martin talks with Dr. Katherine Hofmann. Dr. Hofmann is a naturopathic physician who specializes in mental health and longevity. She sheds some light on just how to stay empathic when emotions are running hot, how to use supplements and nutrition to boost your mind, and why it really does matter that you get a full night's sleep before heading to the negotiation table.

You can learn more about Dr Hofmann, her clinical practice, and her podcast, Ponder and Practice, here.

Why ARE you depressed? Can you identify a root cause?

Death is something each of us comes into contact with sooner or later, whether it's our own death or the loss of someone close to us.

For Georgi Dwiggins, that contact came very, very early. And lucky for all of us, she has channeled her experiences with death into her work as a death doula.

In this episode, the incredibly thoughtful Georgi shares with us her perspective on death and dying, grief, and everything that goes along with it.

Please note, this conversation isn't morbid, but it is frank. We both speak openly about our own personal experiences with death and loss, in addition to topics like death with dignity/physician assisted suicide.

In addition, we talk about some regulations about planning for death, and none of this information should be taken as advice for your own unique situation. Seek qualified advice from an attorney and/or doctor licensed in your area.
