What does a freelance epidemiologist do in a pandemic? Volunteer lots of time, from developing intensive protocols for a youth ice hockey team, to researching vaccine safety and learning about what people think about vaccines. Professional curiosity drives me to read, think, and work toward a more positive outlook. I care deeply about the profession of public health, and am wrestling with how we can better connect with people to encourage wellness. I hope you enjoy hearing from the real people I have met on Twitter and at gas stations and grocery stores!

    Awake in Wake Forest: meeting the needs of highly and profoundly gifted kids

    In this episode I get to meet two new friends while traveling for ice hockey. I'm so lucky to have found these two ladies, founders of Bright Links, a non-profit organization meeting the needs of highly and profoundly gifted kids and their parents in North Carolina and throughout the US.

    Meeting Emily Burns (The Smile Project)

    Meeting Emily Burns (The Smile Project)

    This pod starts the moment I met Emily Burns for the first time after being mutual Twitter followers over the past two years. We set aside time after learning that we had each chosen to allow our torn ACLs to self heal (unthinkable to most). Emily and Alli talk about COVID-19 pandemic policies which failed to risk-stratify the population, what an empowered community can accomplish (Emily moved from Boston to Texas last year), raising curious minds who can shape their own tendencies to create vs consume content, podcasts to enjoy while traveling, and ACL self repair (vs surgery). A wide-ranging episode!



    Follow Emily on Twitter @Emily_Burns_V and Alli @KrugAlli

    Life coach training - Day 1 reflections

    Life coach training - Day 1 reflections

    Yesterday I finished day 1 of 3 days in Mod1 (of 3) with iPEC life coach training. This is a one-year journey to becoming a certified professional life coach, and what tremendous training this is. Is. It is so valuable personally and I hope it will help me transform into a better spouse, parent, support for others seeking a life with more abundance. The challenge for me was figuring out how to construct empowering questions. My kids tease that I'm a "data miner" and someone comfortable speaking to anybody about anything. AND... I love questions. So what's the trouble? That's what I delve into in this episode and figure out how to teach myself to do this better. How can you see using empowering questions in your own life?
