How do you explain this challenging time to your children? How do you respond to "I want to go to school, play with my friends, or where's my Grandpa?" How do you deal with their anxiety, fears and sadness?

How do you keep your children occupied under lockdown?

What do you do about your own feelings that spill out and are contagious?

How do you talk so kids will listen, and listen so they will talk?

We are living in an unimagined time of disruption and uncertainty. While we know that 'this too shall pass' - we don't know how or when or the extent of casualties along the way. 'DrD' Dorianne Weil talks to Julia Kerr Henkel - MD of Lumminos Coaching and Change Consulting - about how to find, and show empathy and courage at this time. They discuss important strategies and tools to deal with this new normal we're facing. Julia - one of Brené Brown's Certified 'Dare to Lead' Facilitators - is usually based in JHB, but was in Bali when lockdown was announced and so we catch up with her there.

In this time of the COVID-19 virus pandemic the greatest generator by far of anxiety, fear and uncertainty is financial insecurity. Well-known financial adviser, equity market expert and radio commentator David Shapiro joins Dorianne Weil to discuss 'What now?'.

Dr. John Demartini is a world-renowned specialist in human behaviour, a researcher, author and global educator. In episode 2 of Thrive with ‘DrD’, Dorianne Weil speaks to him about overcoming fear and taking action.

Points they cover:

• Have you ever had brilliant ideas but never quite gotten around to taking action?

• Ever set goals for the coming months, only to worry about everything that could possibly go wrong and then found yourself trapped in your own inertia?

• Ever wondered what it is EXACTLY that holds you back from taking action? And where it comes from?

Dr Demartini will go through each and every one of the mechanisms that can lead you to question, hesitate and ultimately stop doing something amazing with your life.

He will share his tried and tested practical strategies on how to:

• Work out WHY each fear is there and where it originates from;

• What constructive FEEDBACK each fear is giving you; and

• How to ultimately BREAK THROUGH the blocks and fears that are keeping you from taking action!

They also talk about falling in love: lust versus love - and how to achieve a fulfilling relationship.

We are living through a time of unprecedented uncertainty and disruption.

Yes, we are out of control - but we can choose our responses. Understand and navigate this challenging landscape. Know that we are all in this together. Discover the opportunity in the crisis. In our first episode of Thrive with 'DrD' - Dorianne Weil explores these concepts with businessman; leader; columnist Mark Barnes. JacPod page
