    Resilience Is Learned: A Personal Journey from Adversity to Brain Health Leadership

    Resilience is often described as something people either have or don’t. But in reality, it’s built over time—through experience, pressure, and the choices we make in difficult moments.In this episode of the Human Resilience Podcast, hosts Bob Gold and Shelley Schoenfeld sit down with Laura Gordon from the Center for BrainHealth to explore how resilience is shaped through lived experience. Laura shares her personal journey growing up with a brother diagnosed with schizophrenia, and how those early challenges influenced her ability to stay calm in crisis, reframe difficult situations, and see people beyond their diagnosis.The conversation connects these experiences to the science of brain health and whole-person wellbeing—highlighting how everyday behaviors like sleep, connection, and purpose play a critical role in how people function, adapt, and recover over time. It also brings these insights into the workplace, where resilience, mental health, and adaptability are increasingly tied to performance and engagement.Listen and Learn: Why resilience is not fixed, and how it can be built over time  How early life experiences shape coping, perspective, and adaptability  The role of brain health in managing stress and supporting performance  Why small habits like sleep, connection, and purpose matter more than we think  How stigma impacts mental health and willingness to seek support  Why “meeting people where they are” is critical for engagement and outcomes Resilience isn’t about avoiding hardship. It’s about how we respond to it. And the systems we build—at home, work and play—have a critical role in that process.Text STRESS to 888-844-8991 to join Center for BrainHealth's Resilience Challenge and begin actively building lasting resilience.

    From Crisis to Continuity: Closing the Gaps in Addiction Care and Confronting Stigma

    Relapse doesn’t happen in a counselor’s office—it happens in the moments in between. Late at night, at home, when triggers hit and support feels far away. Yet healthcare is still largely designed around episodic visits, leaving people without support when it matters most.In this episode of the Human Resilience Podcast, hosts Bob Gold and Shelley Schoenfeld sit down with behavioral health expert Deena Cohen to explore what real-world recovery support looks like. From stigma and self-stigma to the everyday realities shaping outcomes, they unpack the gap between treatment and the continuous nature of recovery—and why engagement must extend beyond the clinical setting.Listen and Learn: Why recovery requires continuous, between-visit support—not episodic care  How stigma impacts engagement, disclosure, and outcomes  What drives relapse risk in real-life environments  How tools like HALT (Hungry, Angry, Lonely, Tired) help interrupt patterns  The role of behavioral and environmental factors in recovery decisions  Why co-occurring mental health must be addressed alongside addiction  How consistent engagement improves honesty and long-term outcomes Recovery isn’t a single decision—it’s a series of moments. And the systems we design must support people in those moments, not just during treatment.If this resonates, subscribe, share, and leave a review to help others find the conversation.Thanks for tuning in.

    Why Healthcare Engagement Fails — and What Behavioral Science Reveals

    Engagement doesn’t fail in healthcare because patients “don’t care.” It fails because care is often designed as if people are purely rational—when in reality, decisions are shaped by emotion, stress, context, and cognitive overload, especially in the moments that matter most. In this episode of the Human Resilience Podcast, hosts Bob Gold and Shelley Schoenfeld explore the real drivers of behavior change and why follow-through breaks down outside of clinical settings.They unpack the limitations of traditional engagement models and introduce a more effective, science-backed approach grounded in behavioral design and step-by-step activation. The conversation also connects these insights to today’s healthcare landscape, where scalable, between-visit support is essential and engagement plays a direct role in outcomes, value-based care, and long-term health.Listen and Learn:Why traditional engagement strategies fail to reflect how people actually make decisionsHow behavioral science can influence adherence and long-term outcomesWhat “meeting people where they are” looks like in real-world careHow engagement impacts value-based care, reimbursement, and outcomesIf this conversation resonates, share it with a colleague responsible for outcomes.HostsBob Gold, Chief Behavioral Technologist, GoMo HealthShelley Schoenfeld, Chief Strategist, GoMo HealthThanks for tuning in.

    AI & the Workforce: Building Trust, Value, and Stability

    AI is moving faster than most organizations can process. When clarity lags, anxiety rises. On this episode of the Human Resilience Podcast, hosts Bob Gold and Shelley Schoenfeld sit down with Jim Delaney, Workforce Digital Enablement Expert, to explore a practical, human-centered path to AI adoption — one that protects meaning at work while unlocking real productivity gains.The episode examines the operational backbone of AI success, and why role-based application training outperforms broad “AI literacy. The episode also dives into the human competencies that make adoption sustainable: flexible thinking, clarity under ambiguity, cross-team connectedness, and a shared language for augmentation over replacement. From healthcare to enterprise settings, we highlight how digital tools can extend impact without erasing the human touch.Listen and learn:Why AI adoption is a leadership strategy, not just a technology decisionHow governance builds trust and reduces workforce anxietyThe foundational infrastructure AI requires to perform reliablyWhy role-specific training accelerates confidence and adoptionWhen leaders engage employees early and invest in human capability, AI becomes a partner — not a threat.HostsBob Gold, Chief Behavioral Technologist, GoMo HealthShelley Schoenfeld, Chief Strategist, GoMo HealthFeatured GuestJames Delaney, Workforce Digital Enablement Expert, Talent Experience Group Thanks for tuning in.

    Designing a Maternal Mental Health System That Works

    Parenthood can be both joyful and overwhelming, but for many families, the hardest moments arrive when the house is quiet and the doubts grow loud. In this episode of Human Resilience, hosts Bob Gold and Shelley Schoenfeld sit down with Adrienne Griffin, Executive Director of the Maternal Mental Health Leadership Alliance, to explore why maternal mental health is not a side issue, but the foundation of family stability, resilience, and long-term wellbeing.Adrienne unpacks the gaps in today’s maternal mental health system, from limited screening and referral pathways to workforce shortages and access barriers in rural and underserved communities. Together, we discuss how technology-enabled engagement can serve as a lifeline between visits, offering timely support, education, and connection when parents need it most—even in the middle of the night.

    Healthcare Engagement in 2026: Trends Shaping the Year Ahead

    The Human Resilience podcast is back, and we are kicking off 2026 by unpacking four engagement trends reshaping how care is delivered and how people actually follow through: human–AI partnership, belonging as a driver of outcomes, integrating behavioral health and social determinants into every program, and personalization that adapts in real time.Hosts Bob Gold and Shelley Schoenfeld sit down in this solo episode to explore things like how to use AI responsibly as decision support—not a decision-maker—while keeping human connection at the center. The conversation connects technology, trust, and behavior change, showing how small, timely actions and a sense of purpose can turn engagement into lasting impact.Listen & LearnWhy belonging may be one of the most underutilized health interventionsHow to deploy AI safely without losing trust or human connectionWhat it takes to integrate behavioral health and SDOH into everyday careHow real-time personalization drives engagement, adherence, and resilienceIf you’re designing programs for real people—not just systems—this conversation offers a practical roadmap for engagement that works. HostsBob Gold, Chief Behavioral Technologist, GoMo HealthShelley Schoenfeld, Chief Strategist, GoMo HealthThanks for tuning in.

    Designing Techquity: AI, Patient Voice, and the Future of Health Equity

    A wave of health technology promises faster diagnoses, personalized support, and better outcomes—but only if it serves the people who need it most. In this episode of Human Resilience, hosts Bob Gold and Shelley Schoenfeld sit down with Gloria Vanderham, CEO of Bliss BioHealth and board member of the HLTH Foundation, to explore techquity—the practice of building digital tools that are equitable by design, culturally respectful, and transparent about data.  From AI-enabled screening to clinical trial matching, Gloria explains where machines excel, where human connection must stay in the loop, and how to protect privacy while still innovating swiftly. Throughout, patient voice and storytelling emerge as fundamental tools for demystifying complex therapies and tailoring care in rural and urban communities alike. Listen and Learn What techquity means in practice and how digital tools must be designed to reduce disparities, not widen them Where artificial intelligence adds value and where humans must lead with empathy and judgment How missing research data—especially around women’s brain health—impacts innovation and trust How AI, human care teams, and equitable design can meet people where they are so health feels personal, fair, and possible Gloria’s insights provide a practical, forward-looking framework for leaders, clinicians, innovators, and advocates who want technology to expand access and equity rather than deepen existing divides. Whether you’re building digital solutions, designing engagement strategies, or leading organizational change, this episode offers clear ideas for moving toward a more inclusive and effective health system. Thanks for tuning in.

    Seeing the Invisible: Suicide Warning Signs, Struggles, and Hope

    The warning signs of suicide are often visible, but easy to miss.

    Rising Healthcare Costs: A Guide for Employers

    Healthcare costs are spiraling upward at alarming rates, rising between 5-18% annually regardless of employer interventions. This financial pressure is forcing companies to rethink their approach to employee health benefits while navigating an increasingly complex landscape of workforce challenges.Joining hosts Bob Gold and Shelley Schoenfeld is Dave Drapp, workplace wellness expert who reveals the primary drivers behind these escalating costs. Dave and Bob discuss how the traditional fragmented approach to employee benefits is failing both employers and workers.

It's not willpower - it's science.In our first episode of Season 2 of Human Resilience, tune in for a candid conversation with our hosts - Bob Gold and Shelley Schoenfeld - who reveal the profound connection between the brain and body.
