Covid, and the resulting quarantine, has had a profound effect on our mental health and well being. This fast paced, media drenched talk includes an informative (as well as hilarious) review of where we were when quarantine hit, how the lock down impacted us behaviorally, interpersonally, and intra-personally, then gets to work addressing how to use the re-opening of the world/restart of “communal” life as an opportunity for growth and health.
Ideas regarding how to identify and break pandemic habits that will no longer serve us is offered alongside practical tips and tools for thriving. During this talk, you’ll laugh and you’ll cry and, when it’s over, you’ll say, “We really need to take seriously (and work through) what we’ve all just been through.” The best part? You’ll have the tools you need to do so.
ormance at work as individuals and teams. Our focus is impaired, multitasking with home/work tasks has created difficult to break habits, and social anxiety is on the rise.

We live in a world that demands our attention in digital spaces and our bodies, brains, and relationships pay the price of our over attachment to devices. While the impact to our brains is real (and not in great ways), the world of neuroscience tells us that we can, with intention, work to increase our abilities to focus, delay gratification, regulate our emotions, and experience greater creativity and relational satisfaction.
The good news? We can do this by growing our ability to tolerate boredom. Eventually, just 10 minutes of what the Dutch call “Niksen” (roughly translated as “to do nothing deliciously”) might just change our lives, work teams, families and world. Packed with ample opportunity for practice and inspiration of how to accomplish this difficult (and wonderful feat), this talk will get you craving boredom in a way you never imagined.

The research is clear: Americans spend, on average 12 plus hours a day with screens. Since this time comes from time spent accomplishing major personal and developmental milestones, there’s a double impact. We’re missing out on tasks that enable us to focus, delay gratification, and regulate our emotions while, at the same time, wiring our brains to be uncomfortable with the very settings that would help us attain these skills.
Far from tech shaming, this talk empowers audiences by helping them assess how their tech use is impacting their relational, physical, and mental health in order to make realistic plans for how to moderate use and mitigate negative effects. Filled with fast paced media and chock full of inspiring tips and tools, participants will walk away inspired to tend to their embodied lives and mental health without forcing unrealistic digital detoxes.
Most people feel a deep desire to set boundaries and be able to step back from the pressures and grind of life but lack the tools to do so. This talk gives a brief overview of the neurological and intra personal benefits of being able to stop, get emotionally regulated, and develop a realistic self care plan, then dives deep into teaching the skills of psychological and physiological regulation. Breathing and boredom tolerance skills are taught and practiced in fun and inspirational ways that leave participants wanting more calm.
