    The Neuroscience of Spiritual Intelligence | Dr. Dawson Church

    What if the greatest shift in how you lead, work, and live isn't about learning another skill, but about changing the way your brain experiences the world? Amy sits down with Dr. Dawson Church, award-winning science writer, researcher, and author of Spiritual Intelligence, to explore the growing body of neuroscience revealing that emotional regulation, attention, compassion, and presence are not fixed personality traits. They are trainable capacities that reshape the brain over time. For years, spirituality has often been dismissed as something personal, abstract, or impossible to measure. Dawson challenges that assumption by sharing the research behind the four neural circuits that support spiritual intelligence and why strengthening them can transform everything from workplace performance to relationships and overall wellbeing. Together, Amy and Dawson also unpack why traditional meditation doesn't work for everyone, how evidence-based practices like EFT tapping and Eco Meditation accelerate change, and why cultivating inner awareness may be one of the most practical leadership skills available today. If you've ever wondered whether there's a science behind feeling calmer under pressure, responding with greater compassion, or unlocking more creativity without pushing harder, this conversation offers a compelling new perspective on what becomes possible when we intentionally train the brain that shapes every experience of our lives.

About the Guest: Dr. Dawson Church is an award-winning science writer, researcher, and bestselling author whose work explores the intersection of neuroscience, psychology, and human potential. Through more than 100 published clinical studies and collaborations with researchers from institutions including Harvard Medical School, Duke, Emory, and Columbia, his research has examined how meditation, emotional regulation, and self-transcendent experiences can reshape the brain and improve wellbeing. He is the author of The Genie in Your Genes, Mind to Matter, Bliss Brain, and Spiritual Intelligence.

    What to Do When an Employee's Life Falls Apart: A Leader’s Guide | Matthew Efird

    We like to believe that compassion comes naturally. Yet when someone we work with experiences unimaginable loss, many of us freeze. We worry about saying the wrong thing, crossing a boundary, or making an already painful situation worse. So we say less, do less, and hope time will somehow fill the silence. Amy's conversation with Matthew Efird challenges that instinct with extraordinary honesty. After losing his son, Noah, to a terminal trisomy 13 diagnosis, Matthew discovered that the moments which stayed with him weren't defined by perfect words. They were shaped by people who showed up, quietly lifted burdens he couldn't carry alone, and created space for his family to grieve without asking them to manage everyone else's needs. What emerged from that experience is not just a personal story. It is a practical philosophy for building workplaces where empathy becomes something people experience, not something leaders simply talk about. Rather than treating grief as something that belongs outside the office, this conversation invites us to rethink what leadership looks like when life inevitably interrupts work. It explores how simple acts of generosity can transform culture, why the strongest leaders resist the urge to fix what cannot be fixed, and how organizations earn lasting trust by helping people feel seen when they need it most. Moments That Create Momentum: The Permission Trap: Why asking, "How can I help?" often shifts the emotional burden back onto the person who is already carrying more than they can hold.The Empathy Gap: Matthew reveals why leaders don't fail because they don't care. They fail because discomfort convinces them that silence is safer than showing up.The Culture Stress Test: Anyone can talk about values during business as usual. The true culture of an organization is revealed by how it responds when someone's life falls apart.The Invisible Load: The smallest daily responsibilities become overwhelming during grief. Matthew explains why removing one burden often matters more than offering a hundred comforting words.The Time Investment Principle: After holding his son through his final breath, Matthew stopped measuring time by productivity and started measuring it by presence, changing the way he leads both work and life. About the Guest: Matthew Efird is a grieving father, a husband, and a leader who has learned that true strength is not found in self-sufficiency but in a desperate need for a Savior. An honors graduate of The University of Georgia, Matthew and his high school sweetheart, Hannah, live in Jackson County, where they manage Mosquito Joe and Lighting Pros. Matthew is the host of the Pillars of Purpose Podcast, where he explores living a life of purpose in faith, family, and business. Following the Trisomy 13 diagnosis and passing of their second son, Noah, Matthew felt an intense calling to share their raw journey. He is the bestselling author of Even Though, We Will. He travels the country speaking to audiences and consulting with businesses on the transformational impact of Emphathetic Leadership within an organization. He and his wife are the founders of Even Though, We Will, an organization dedicated to providing “Arks” of practical support and care packages to families navigating the devastating waters of a terminal diagnosis. Matthew is the proud father of four amazing boys: three who fill his home with wild joy and one who awaits him in the presence of their Savior. https://eventhoughwewill.com https://matthewefird.com About Amy: Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.

    The Boundaries Blueprint: Read A Room Without Absorbing The Stress | Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller

    What happens when walking into a room means absorbing every ounce of tension, distress, and unsaid emotion inside it? Many of us are taught that great leadership requires carrying the emotional weight of our teams. We step in to smooth things over, fix conflicts that aren't ours to solve, and mistake constant rescue missions for true connection. The result isn't better leadership, it is exhaustion. In this episode, Amy sits down with global emotional intelligence and empathy expert Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller to map out a clear blueprint for protecting your energy without shutting out your humanity. Drawing from her raw pivot point out of a toxic workplace environment and later experiencing those same broken patterns in other work spaces, Dr. Melissa shares the definitive distinction between reading a room and taking responsibility for it. This conversation is a radical reframe on human connection. You will discover how to stand in your own power, deploy data-backed perspective-taking, and implement the boundaries necessary to stop treating everyone else's distress as your circus to fix. Moments That Create Momentum: The "Not My Circus" Rule: Why walking into a room and feeling everyone else's tension isn't a gift, it’s a boundary failure that is secretly draining you.The Revenue Shield: The deeply unsettling reason why elite organizations intentionally protect toxic high-performers and narcissists.The Empathy Illusion: Dr. Melissa shares why empathy is passive, and how jumping straight into "fixing" things actually triggers misplaced, destructive compassion.The Danger of Being "Nice": Why standard corporate manners are often just a mask for insincerity, and the reason true kindness requires telling the ugly truth.The Self-Rescue Mandate: Why launching into service for others before mastering self-empathy is a fast track to destroying your own career. About the Guest: As professional musician, Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller worked with major talent such as Ray Charles, David Ogden Stiers, and Mannheim Steamroller. But cold and toxic leadership eventually robbed her of a career that was 30+ years in the making. However, that incident inspired Dr. Melissa to transform leadership as we know it by redefining the one element that most leaders miss: empathy. Today, she’s an international bestselling author, Editor’s Pick TEDx speaker, EQ and empathy coach, and leading voice on emotional intelligence and empathy. She’s known for blending lived experience, academic depth, and a sharp, data-driven approach that not only makes sense but demystifies how empathy translates to better productivity, innovation, and profit. Her mission is to invite everyone to approach empathy as a strategic skill for every human-centric action, not only for others but also for ourselves, and to step up in the way the future of leadership demands. https://eqviaempathy.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-melissa-a-robinson-winemiller-author-speaker-trainer https://www.instagram.com/empathyqueen.eq https://www.youtube.com/@TheEmpathicLeader https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaoXSEWeILo&t=63s https://geni.us/TheEmpathicLeader About Amy: Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.
