This episode is a special edition for Mother’s day. It draws on the letter called “The Legacy of Our Mothers”, that Esther Perel published last week. Esther shares some details about the complicated and ambivalent relationship she had with her own mother and invites us to reflect on our own relationships with motherly figures. I want to build on that invitation, I want to broaden the scope of the conversation and introduce the following thought: The relationship with our mother becomes a blueprint for our relationships with women - a blueprint for our relationships with female leaders.  A great mother makes a great leader. And a great leader is very much like a great mother. Leadership, like motherhood, is an act of profound nurture and service. It demands not only strength and vision but a heart willing to listen, to guide, and to protect.  How are your relationships with women? Do you experience ambivalence with female authority figures? How do your relationships with female leaders mirror those with your mother? How does this influence manifest in your professional life?  If you’re a female leader - how does your mother’s voice shape the way you lead your people?   Join me on this special edition of the SHFT Happens Podcast as e explore these questions and more:

As CEO of Publicis Creatives and some of the most influential agencies in the advertising industry in New York, Susie Nam has been critical in designing systems and culture that yield breakthrough ideas and advance best-in-class talent.  I spoke with Susie several years ago, when she was still CEO of Droga5 where she has been instrumental in the agency’s significant growth from a 35-person crew in NYC to an industry-leading brand with 500+ employees in their flagship office, and 4 global hubs supporting international clientele.  Susie’s impact goes beyond the organizations she’s worked for, she’s consistently served as an executive leader, champion and advocate for diversity, equity and inclusion across communities.  NB: Apologies about the missing video in some parts of the podcast.

"People don't learn through experience. We learn by reflecting on the experience," Mark Vernooij How do you solve complexity? Are you "socialised" or "self-authored"? "Heat experiences", how did they shape you? Are you a horizontal or vertical thinker? What is "elevated sense-making"? How can you leverage divergent perspectives? Why is leadership a "verb"? Can big business make the world a better place? Do change, growth and sustainability go hand in hand? How can you grow your business and have a positive impact? What can you do to change your approach and grow engagement? Mark is a Partner at THNK School of Creative Leadership, where they're grooming creative leaders who make a positive impact on society. The school was founded in 2010 with the purpose of developing creative leaders to "turn global challenges and crises into opportunities, the ultimate goal being to achieve a more meaningful and sustainable way of life."

Life Therapy for this case: It's been 1.5 years since a major turning point in my life. After the initial highs and the afterglow faded, I found myself grappling with questions about what I want to do, who I want to be, who my people are, and what my place is in society. I didn’t receive any ready-made revelations or answers. Instead, I was left with a strong, piercing longing for a different kind of life — a slower life, with less chaos, hurt, and numbness, and more authenticity, more attunement to my body and heart, and more meaning.I was clueless about where to start, what it meant, where to go, what to do, or who to talk to. It was an intensely lonely place. I tried to explain this to my husband, but it’s hard to convey that this feeling, this sense of misplacement, wasn’t just a fleeting thought, but something profound and deep-seated — in my bones, my essence, my core.That moment of change opened up a void, and over the past year, I’ve been trying to figure out how to fill it — with positive experiences, tranquility, movement, and nature."Reflection on 1.5 years after a life-altering experienceStruggle with questions about identity, purpose, and belongingLetting go of old friendships and finding new, genuine connectionsCoping with the loss of a sister to suicideThe impact of trauma, freeze responses, and COVIDThe risks of poor integration and lack of supportA lonely and terrifying season marked by ungroundednessSteps toward healing: trauma and somatic therapyQuestions for therapists and coachesAdvice for others navigating deep personal transformation✨ #Healing #Integration #MentalHealth #Breakthrough #Therapy 🌟In this episode:

Trigger warning: Talk of childhood abuseMatthew Simpson achieved what many would call the “American Dream,” owning a successful business, a house, and a fancy car. However, his life felt empty and devoid of hope. He had it all, but he felt stuck. To the outside world he was the cool dude in a suit, but beneath the surface he was struggling with substance abuse and navigating a brutal existence marked by constant fear, worry, indecision, and mistrust in himself, and others.From one day to the next, he left everything behind & embarked on a journey of self-discovery. During this process, he found a way to heal his trauma, overcome his anxiety, he left the world of business, and embraced the role of an ambassador dedicated to addressing the U.S. war veteran suicide epidemic. His book, "Worth a Fight," chronicles this profound transformation and today he donates the proceeds from his book to support U.S. war veterans in their ongoing struggles.Join me on this episode where Matt openly shares his journey, a narrative healing from pain and trauma.He accomplished what many would deem the “American Dream,” but lived a life without hope. In 2013, Matt owned a successful business, a house, and a fancy car. But he felt stuck. He candidly shares his journey, a narrative that involved masking emotions with substance abuse to fit in and navigate a pretty brutal existence of constant fear, worry, indecision, and grave mistrust in himself and others.He left everything behind and went in search of himself. In the process he discovered a way to overcome his constant fight-or-flight and decided to leave the world of business and embrace the role of an ambassador devoted to tackling the U.S. war veteran suicide epidemic instead. He wrote Worth a Fight, and donates the proceeds from his book to support U.S. war veterans in their ongoing struggles.About Matt:Author of Worth the Fight — a guide for overcoming traumaA facilitator of post-traumatic growthAn ambassador to the U.S. war veteran suicide epidemicWorth a Fight:Amazon: link

In 20 years of my career, I went from one good job to another; from one great company to an even better one, and I truly believed I was being judged on my capabilities and not my gender. So, when asked to comment on this topic, I always declined because statements like “my gender has not gotten in my way” weren’t really fit for headlines. Yes, I went to all the women's networks (I even lead one for Dell (DWEN)). But at some point all the female networks started to look a lot like female ghettos. And all the focus on needing to improve women's self esteem and capabilities just seemed to feed women's insecurities and the myth that women are less capable. I just didn’t want to be a contributing factor to that. It wasn’t until I got older…actually, it wasn't until I became a mother (read a year ago), that I became conscious of how unfair it all is. Reflecting back on my experiences, a cascade of examples highlighting this inequality lined up (which I will share in another podcast). Today, I am thrilled to share my conversation with Carine de Meyere, Women's rights advocate. Please watch!

Two weeks into the conflict, as the world falls deeper and deeper into fear and polarization, you may be asking yourself, How do I feel about this? Should I do something? Should I pray? Should I condemn? Should I remain impartial? Is it right to pick sides?  When you take a moment to reflect, when you listen to your inner dialogue regarding this. What is your first instinct when you hear of all the horror and pain?  Do you tend to downplay it? “Media is probably exaggerating things…” Do you Look away? Avoid watching or reading the news and hope that it will somehow all go away shortly? Do you start to Research and look into history?   Do you dare to form your own opinion about it? Or do you prefer to seek the opinion of your friends?   All over the internet, the advice that is being dispensed is: “Pick the side of peace. Choose the side of life.” But what does that actually mean? What does that look like in practice? And will it make any difference to the Israeli or Palestinian people which side you pick? This is what this episode is about. Consider it a practical guide on how to do something that is actually in your power to "pick the side of PEACE".

This podcast series comprises 3 episodes in total and is intended as a meditative guidance to navigate ego death and rebirth during a psychedelic trip. It is based on Tibetan Buddhist principles and sourced from the Tibetan Book of the Dead and The Psychedelic Experience by Timothy Leary, Ralph Metzner, and Richard Alpert (later known as Ram Dass). Listen before and during tripping: How do I navigate or avoid disturbing hallucinations during a psychedelic journey? What do hallucinations want to teach me?  What is the ego−free state?  How do I handle ego−death? What’s beyond this temporary death?  What to do if I feel confused during a psychedelic trip? What is The Void? How to maintain the state of the divine mind? If you are contemplating a psychedelic journey and are asking yourself any or all of these questions - this episode is for you.

We're at a pivotal moment in history where mastering change and navigating the uncertainty that is inherent to it will become the most valuable skill of our time.   How do you know whether something is an obstacle that needs to be overcome or a sign you should be doing something else? Our entire world is shaped by our ability to problem solve. Everything, from the chair you sit on to the device you are listening to this through, is an answer to what once was a challenge. Learn to look at challenges like a pro!

Are we missing the point with Psychedelic Pharmaceuticals? In this episode I’m exploring 3 critical missteps. In a society eager for the next magical solution, the tantalizing prospect of harnessing the therapeutic potential of psychedelics through pharmaceuticals has taken center stage. But, are we really on the right track? Let's delve into three reasons why I believe we should reconsider the fusion of pharmacology and psychedelics. Reason one: Does the absence of hallucinations mean the absence of true healing?  Reason two: Spiritual Catharsis is at the heart of lasting change. Does stripping psychedelics of that power mean that we are also reducing the healing potential?  Lastly, I challenge the notion that symptomatic treatment leads to systemic transformation. Can quick fixes genuinely spark the profound healing we seek?  CREDITS:   Lisa Miller’s' next interview is from an episode from @The-Well, a Big Think publication about ideas that inspire a life well-lived, created with the @JohnTempletonFoundation.

Nothing is done to me - everything is done for me I don’t get what I want, I get what I need  I never get more than I can handle  The only way out is through  These are the four principles that can help you mitigate or prevent and bad psychedelic trip.

“The role of the guide is perhaps the most exciting and inspiring role in society. He is literally a liberator, one who provides illumination, one who frees men from their life-long internal bondage. To be present at the moment of awakening, to share the ecstatic revelation when the voyager discovers the wonder and awe of the divine life-process, is for many the most gratifying part to play in the evolutionary drama. The role of the psychedelic guide has a built-in protection against professionalism and didactic oneupmanship. The psychedelic liberation is so powerful that it far outstrips earthly game ambitions. Awe and gratitude - rather than pride - are the rewards of this new profession,” (from the Psychedelic Experience, by Timothy Leary). In this episode: How do you choose the right liberator?

These days we have endless access to self-help resources, books, podcasts, online courses, videos, and communities. So why would anyone go through the trouble of paying for a therapist when you could try to figure things out on your own, from the comfort of your couch?

Over the past century, many different methods for facilitating transformation have been developed. Relevant to therapy, we can distinguish 3 generations of approaches. Which one is the best for you? Should you do psychotherapy? Should you get a coach? Or is EMDR Therapy more suitable. A very individual question, which we explore in this episode.
