When your mind will not slow down, this conversation offers a way back to yourself.

Burnout, overwhelm, and constant pressure have become a quiet norm for so many of us. In this episode, I sit with Rubina Chadha, a trauma-informed mindfulness educator and founder of Inner Design, to unpack what burnout actually feels like beneath the surface and why slowing down has become so hard.

Rubina shares how stillness, breathwork, and creativity helped her move from performing to truly living. We explore what happens when your nervous system is overloaded, how guilt shows up when you try to rest, and simple grounding techniques you can use anywhere to calm your mind and reconnect with your body.

A steady, grounding conversation for anyone craving clarity, peace, or a deeper sense of themselves.

What happens when the technology we created to make life easier starts changing how we think, work, and even connect with each other?

In this episode, I sit down with Rebecca Bultsma, AI Ethicist and Responsible AI Adoption Strategist, to talk about the tension between innovation and ethics, the illusion of trust in AI, and what it means to stay human when everything around us is being automated.

Rebecca shares the story of how the launch of ChatGPT completely changed the direction of her life, leading her to study the risks and rewards of this technology. We explore what "responsible AI" really looks like, how it is already influencing kids, workplaces, and creativity, and why understanding it matters more than ever.

If you have ever caught yourself asking "How far will this go?" or "Am I already relying on AI more than I think?" this conversation will make you stop, think, and see the future through a more human lens.

In this episode, I talk with Philip Be'er, an author, therapist, and creator of the SAFE 2B Framework, about why so many of us struggle to feel emotionally safe. Philip helps unpack how our nervous system keeps us in survival mode, how childhood experiences create hidden triggers, and what it really takes to rewire those emotional patterns.

This conversation is personal and eye-opening. We explore the science behind safety, the pain of disconnection, and the steps to create peace within ourselves.

If you've ever wondered why you still feel uneasy, guarded, or stuck even when life looks good, this episode will help you understand what's really going on in your body and how to start healing from it.

What if being nice is the reason you're still stuck?

In this episode of What Changed? I sit down with Amira Barger, author of The Price of Nice, to talk about what happens when the need to please and stay comfortable starts costing you courage.

Amira opens up about the moments that changed how she saw strength, truth and belonging. From childhood lessons about being nice to finding her nerve in leadership and life, she reminds us that courage often begins right where comfort ends.

This is your invitation to slow down, question the rules you were taught to follow and ask yourself what might shift if you stopped being agreeable and started being real.

What if the key to stronger leadership, deeper relationships, and greater retention isn't about having the right answers, but about asking the right questions?
