    EPISODE 24: IN THE HIVE with Christy Uffelman - Wayfinding: The Map Was Always Yours (Part 2)

    EPISODE 24: IN THE HIVE with Christy Uffelman - Wayfinding: The Map Was Always Yours (Part 2) We all have a compass inside us - the question is whether we trust it. In this two-part conversation, Dr. B sits down with Christy Uffelman, MHCS, BCC - Reinvention Coach, Founder of EDGE Leadership, and Dr. B's own mentor coach, colleague, and friend - to talk about her new book, *Wayfinding*, and the art of finding our way back to ourselves. Christy has spent her career helping leaders (and Dr. B included) see their blind spots - those quiet places where we've stopped listening to our own instincts. Together, they explore what it really means to navigate life from the inside out: how to quiet the noise of outside opinion, how to recognize your own North Star when it feels dim or far away, and why the answers we're searching for are so often already within us. In Part 2, Dr. B and Christy go deeper into practical wayfinding…how to actually listen to your inner compass in real time, what it looks like when someone else helps illuminate a blind spot, and why your brightest North Star sometimes comes from within, not from anyone else's map. In This Episode - Blind spots - and why we need other people to help us see them - Trusting your own North Star, even when it's quiet - How mentorship and friendship deepen coaching (Christy and Dr. B's own relationship) Christy Uffelman, MHCS, BCC, is a Reinvention Coach and the Founder of EDGE Leadership, specializing in group coaching and peer mentoring. She was named a Fierce Woman by The Huffington Post and is a #1 Amazon bestselling author. Her latest book, Wayfinding, explores how we reconnect with our own internal compass to navigate change and reinvention.

    EPISODE 22: The Buzz With Dr. B - Stop Scrolling, Start Looking Inward: Your August Reset

    EPISODE 22: The Buzz With Dr. B - Stop Scrolling, Start Looking Inward: Your August Reset August is the Hive’s month of looking inward. Before we can chase anything else, we have to get honest about one question: what do I really want? In this episode, Dr. B walks through a simple but powerful practice - naming what you truly want in five key areas of life, being honest about where you currently stand, and then identifying the specific gap you need to close to get there. This isn’t about overhauling your entire life overnight. It’s about clarity first, action second. The five areas covered: ​ Friends & Family - the relationships you’re nurturing (or neglecting)​ Education - where you are in skills and knowledge vs. where you want to grow​ Career & Finances - professional goals and financial footing you’re building toward​ Wellbeing - physical health, spiritual grounding, and mental wellness​ Contribution & Community Service - the impact you want to leave behindGrab a journal for this one - Dr. B invites you to actually write out your answers as you listen. In this episode: ​ Why “looking inward” isn’t selfish, it’s strategic​ The one question to ask yourself before setting any new goal​ How to identify the real gap (not just the surface-level one) in each life area​ A simple framework for turning insight into your next small step Follow.

    EPISODE 21:THE BUZZ w. Dr. B & Ben-Deposits,Withdrawals&Raising Kids Beyond"Boys Don't,Girls Should”

    EPISODE 21: THE BUZZ with Dr. B & Ben - Deposits, Withdrawals & Raising Kids Beyond "Boys Don't, Girls Should” As July comes to a close, Dr. B and Ben sit down to wrap up this month's theme of Connection with one of their most personal conversations yet. They dig into the idea of "deposits" in a relationship - not grand gestures, but the small, consistent moments of acknowledgement that tell a partner *I see you, and what you do matters.* From there, the conversation turns to parenting: how Dr. B and Ben raised their sons to hold the same values, the same permission to feel vulnerable, and the same core character - regardless of gender or the roles society tries to hand them. It's a conversation about breaking cycles, modeling emotional honesty at home, and making sure acknowledgement isn't just something we give our partners, but something we teach our kids to both give and expect. In this episode: - What a "relationship deposit" actually is, and why acknowledgement is the most underrated one - How small moments of being seen add up over time (and what happens when they don't) - Raising children - regardless of gender - with the same emotional toolkit - Letting go of "boys don't..." and "girls should..." in your own home Follow.

    EPISODE 20: IN THE HIVE with Ted Pizzo - The Art of the “What’s Next” Connection

    EPISODE 20: IN THE HIVE with Ted Pizzo - The Art of the “What’s Next” Connection In this episode, Dr. B and Ben sit down with Ted Pizzo - a master corporate networker and connector - to unpack what’s actually working when it comes to building relationships today, both new and long-standing. Ted brings decades of experience linking people across industries, and he shares why so many of us are in a season of asking “what’s next?” - and why the old, transactional model of networking no longer serves that search. Instead, Ted makes the case for a more generous approach: connecting for the sake of helping others first, and trusting that reciprocity follows. The conversation gets to the heart of personal branding - not as a highlight reel of titles and résumés, but as a question of presence. As Ted puts it, it’s not about what you do or where you’ve been. It’s about how you show up. In this episode, you’ll hear about: * Why transactional networking is losing its power, and what’s replacing it * How to cultivate relationships during a season of career or life transition * The mindset shift from “what can I get” to “who can I help” * Personal branding as a byproduct of authentic presence, not self-promotion * Practical ways to stay a meaningful connector inside and outside the corporate world Follow.

    Episode 18: THE BUZZ with Dr. B and Ben - Talk Is Not Cheap - We’re All Bankrupt on Connection

    Episode 18: THE BUZZ with Dr. B and Ben - Talk Is Not Cheap - We’re All Bankrupt on Connection As July kicks off, Dr. B and Ben are buzzing about Connection - this month’s theme, explored on two levels: the professional and the personal. This July, we welcome two guests who bring their expertise on business and professional networking - how to build authentic relationships in the workplace and beyond, and why real connection (not just transactional exchange) is the foundation of lasting professional success. Then, Dr. B and Ben shift the conversation home. As a married couple, as parents who’ve navigated raising two boys into adulthood, and as partners who’ve been through their own “lifequake” moments together, they open up about the interpersonal communication tools that have carried them through decades of relationship - techniques that work whether you’re talking to your spouse, your kids, or your adult children who are now forging their own paths. In this episode: • Why professional networking is really about relationship-building • Communication tools Dr. B and Ben use as a couple • How communication shifts (and has to) as your children become adults • Practical takeaways for showing up better in every relationship in your life Follow.

    EPISODE 17: THE BUZZ with Dr. B - My Brain Had Other Plans… Lessons from a Lifequake

    EPISODE 17: THE BUZZ with Dr. B - My Brain Had Other Plans… Lessons from a Lifequake As we wrap up June, I couldn’t let Brain Health Awareness Month pass without taking a moment to recognize a topic that has become deeply personal to me. Before my brain aneurysm, I understood brain health as a physician. After surviving it, I came to understand it as a patient. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal brain health journey - how one unexpected medical crisis changed not only my brain, but also my perspective on health, healing, resilience, and what it truly means to flourish. We’ll talk about why brain health isn’t just about avoiding disease. It’s about the daily choices we make to nourish our minds, care for our bodies, manage stress, stay connected, and advocate for ourselves. Whether you’re recovering from a health challenge, caring for a loved one, or simply becoming more intentional about healthy aging, I hope my story reminds you that there is hope - even when life doesn’t go according to plan. In this episode, you’ll learn: * Why my brain had “other plans” * How surviving a brain aneurysm changed my life * What I now do every day to support my brain health * The connection between movement, nutrition, sleep, stress, boundaries, and healing Remember: Your brain is with you every second of every day. Take care of it… because it takes care of you. Follow. Like. Comment. Share. 🦋 Interested in having Dr. B speak for your group or organization?
