    The menopause connection: Understanding your risk of stroke and heart disease with Alicia Botyrius

    In this episode of Celia’s Corner, Cecilia sits down with Alicia Botyrius, a health and wellness professional with two decades of experience in healthcare and marketing and a strong focus on preventive health education. Alicia explains why preventive screenings matter, what women should know about their cardiovascular risk during and after menopause, what may not be covered during a typical annual checkup, and what people can expect from a Life Line Screening appointment. She also breaks down what happens when a screening identifies a potential concern and why knowing your risk can be an empowering first step rather than something to fear. Learn more about preventive screening and explore your screening options at http://lifelinescreening.com/  Alicia Botyrius reminds us that prevention isn’t about waiting for a wake-up call it’s about giving yourself the knowledge and opportunity to take action while you can.

    The new rules of work: Why better architecture beats more resources with Danny Carpio

    In this episode of Celia’s Corner, Cecilia sits down with Danny Carpio, an organizational architect, builder, and operator who has spent 13 years working across startups, venture, services, decentralized organizations, AI, crypto, and organizational design. Danny challenges the traditional idea that scaling always means building bigger teams and more complicated organizations. Instead, he introduces the concept of self-scale—a framework for individuals and small teams to design operating systems that allow them to accomplish enterprise-level work while gaining more control over their time and how they work. We explore why many people are preparing for a future that has already arrived, how AI is changing the balance between individuals and large organizations, why traditional company structures are being challenged, and what it really takes to stop being trapped by systems you didn’t design. Danny also shares insights from his new book, The Unfirm: The New Unit of Scale Is You, and explains how modern operators can rethink their relationship with work, technology, and organizational structure.

    Love in a time of crisis: Finding wholeness with Glenn Aparicio Parry

    In this episode of Celia’s Corner, we explore love, wholeness, interconnectedness, and humanity with Glenn Aparicio Parry, PhD, Nautilus award-winning author of Original Politics and Original Thinking, and author of Original Love: The Timeless Source of Wholeness. Glenn’s work challenges the fragmented ways we often think about ourselves, one another, politics, and the natural world. In this conversation, we explore how fragmented thinking can contribute to conflict and division  and how gratitude, compassion, connection, and love can help us move toward greater wholeness. Glenn shares the inspiration behind his latest book and explains how Original Love connects with the larger trilogy exploring thought, politics, and love. We also discuss the story of Psyche and Eros, political polarization, the relationship between humanity and nature, and what it means to be truly human.

    Beyond the demo: Enterprise AI, engineering leadership, and scaling teams with Unai Rodriguez

    In this episode we sit down with Unai Rodriguez, Director of Voice AI at SoundHound AI and an engineering leader with more than 25 years of international technology experience. Unai gives us a candid look at what happens behind the scenes when Voice AI and Agentic AI move into production from infrastructure and telephony costs to reliability, integrations, scalability, and the challenges businesses often overlook. We explore why impressive AI demonstrations can struggle when they reach enterprise environments, what business and engineering leaders should understand before investing in Voice AI, and how the economics of AI change when systems operate at massive scale. We also discuss Unai’s experience growing an international engineering team from 4 to 20, leading across different countries and cultures, transitioning from hands-on engineering into senior leadership, and recovering supposedly unrecoverable systems following a major cyberattack. Beyond technology, Unai shares how founding and captaining Singapore’s Armada Dragon Boat Team shaped his understanding of motivation, teamwork, accountability, and leadership. Whether you’re an AI practitioner, engineering leader, entrepreneur, or simply curious about what it takes to make AI work in the real world, this conversation offers practical insights grounded in real enterprise experience.

    When everything starts colliding: Understanding hormageddon with Jani Rundall

    In this episode Cecilia sits down with Jani Rundall, Life Strategist, Speaker, Author, ADHD Practitioner, Menopause Coach, and founder of Hormageddon™. After more than 30 years in corporate technology sales, Jani experienced a period when the strategies that had worked for decades suddenly stopped working. An unexpected adult ADHD diagnosis, hormonal changes, nervous-system strain, and the accumulated demands of life began interacting in ways she couldn’t explain through a single label. Jani calls this Hormageddon™: the collision of hormones, brain wiring, the nervous system, and life load. Together, we explore why capable people so often blame themselves when something changes, how hormonal shifts can intersect with attention, memory, and emotional regulation, why ADHD can go unrecognised in women until midlife, and why men deserve a more informed conversation about their own hormonal changes. We also talk about relationships, parenting teenagers, workplace performance, leadership, and why organisations should view these issues not only as wellbeing concerns but as potential retention and performance challenges. Jani introduces her practical Personal Operating Map, a tool designed to help people understand what they need, what drains them, their early warning signs, and the conditions in which they do their best work. If you’ve ever wondered why something that used to feel manageable suddenly feels impossible, this conversation offers a different question to ask: What has changed underneath the surface?
