Wellness Wednesday Presented by Workspring

from Four Hundred & Nineteen Hosted by Gretchen DeBacker, Matt Killam and Kevin Mullan

It’s Wellness Wednesday on The Four Hundred & Nineteen, presented by Workspring, and today we’re diving deep into emotional intelligence, workplace culture, and what it really takes to build healthy teams. We’re joined by Sarah Best of Real Good Ventures, who unpacks emotional intelligence in practical terms — how self-awareness, impulse control, and empathy shape the way we lead and relate to others. From navigating frustration in meetings to understanding how our upbringing influences how we show up at work, this conversation is honest, tactical, and timely. Then Casey Greenwalt of Michael Brown Coaching joins us to talk about conflict — why avoiding it doesn’t work, why bulldozing through it doesn’t work either, and how tension can actually produce growth when handled well. We close the show with Deb Ayers of the Avalon Foundation for Rare Diseases. Deb shares her daughter Avalon’s story and reminds us that while rare diseases may be individually uncommon, the community navigating them is anything but small. It’s a powerful reminder that wellness extends far beyond the workplace. Thanks to our sponsors: Whetro Wealth Management, Workspring, Destination Toledo, Toledo Refining Company, and TARTA.
