We're raising children in a world our parents never had to navigate—one shaped by algorithms, social media comparison, constant stimulation, and an unprecedented pressure to perform. Dr. Shefali calls this phenomenon "algorithmic abduction": the ways technology can quietly shape our children's identities, attention, relationships, and sense of self. But while the world around our children has radically changed, many of our parenting models haven't. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Shefali explores the growing crisis facing today's boys and girls. Dr. Shefali has written two books on raising conscious boys and girls, and is on to discuss why she wrote these books now and what we can learn from them. This is an essential conversation for every parent, educator, and anyone who cares about the next generation. Please share it with your friends.

In this episode of Her Starring Role, our host Michele Lamoureux explores the concept of capacity—your day‑to‑day life force, energy, and bandwidth—and how it shifts through different seasons of life. She shares three practical ways to gently expand your capacity so there's more left for you at the end of the day:

Carving out 30 minutes daily for something that matters only to you (health, creativity, learning, or connection). Setting boundaries around what you say yes and no to, especially habitual obligations that drain your energy. Prioritizing quality sleep by creating supportive routines and environments that help you truly rest.

This episode is an invitation to honor your current season, reclaim your bandwidth, and intentionally add more joy, play, and meaning into your everyday life—without comparison or pressure to "do it all."

In this episode of Her Starring Role, host Michele Lamoureux welcomes back Elaine Lin Hering, speaker, facilitator, and author of Unlearning Silence: How to Speak Your Mind, Unleash Talent, and Live More Fully. Together they explore what it really means for women to unlearn silence—especially in business—and reclaim their "starring role" in work and life. Elaine shares how self-silencing shows up in our careers, relationships, and health, and why it's not a confidence problem but a systemic one. They discuss being sidelined at work, getting credit for your ideas, navigating broken workplace systems, honoring your inner voice, and making intentional choices that align with your values, well-being, and season of life. This is a powerful conversation for any woman who feels overextended, under-recognized, or ready to let her light shine on her own terms.

In this episode, Dr. Ingrid Clayton, licensed clinical psychologist, transpersonal psychology specialist, and author of Fawning joins us to discuss her groundbreaking insights into an often-overlooked trauma response: fawning.

Most of us are familiar with the three F's of trauma—fight, flight, or freeze—but there's a fourth response, fawning, that's rarely discussed. Unlike codependency or people-pleasing, fawning is a survival strategy that drives us to seek approval, appease, and draw closer to people who may hurt us—even when it's detrimental to our well-being.

If you've ever found yourself apologizing to those who hurt you, obsessing over approval, befriending bullies, or suppressing your voice to maintain peace, this episode is for you. Dr. Clayton offers hope, tools, and compassion for anyone ready to break free from the cycle of chronic fawning and step into their authentic life.

· Defining Fawning: Beyond People-Pleasing and Codependency (0:00)

· The Power of Relational Therapy for Complex Trauma (8:59)

Midlife doesn't just change your body — it can completely upend your sex life.

Sources of the stats I quoted:

· 1. ~5.6–5.8% of CEOs in the Fortune Global 500 are women Women remain underrepresented at senior levels — only 29% of C‑suite roles are held by women. And we wonder why women compete with each other. There are far too few seats at the table. This needs to change.

· 2. Women earn 83 cents for every dollar men earn. How is this possible in 2026? We know from the research that companies that have women in leadership generate more revenue. "Companies with more women on boards or in senior management generate stronger returns and financial outcomes compared with less‑diverse peers."

· 3. We take on more household and caretaking responsibilities even when women earn the same or more than their male partners. And this doesn't even include the mental load we carry.

Many women struggle for years with overwhelm, emotional chaos, chronic stress, catastrophic thinking, and feeling misunderstood—without realizing the root cause could be ADHD. In this episode, Shanna Pearson, founder of Expert ADHD Coaching and a lifelong ADHD advocate, dives into how to recognize the signs, get an accurate diagnosis, and implement practical tools that actually work.

She says that "An estimated 50% to 75% of women struggling with ADHD don't even know that they have it." And to make matters worse, when they enter perimenopause and menopause, the systems that used to help them cope, often no longer work.

Women are also often misdiagnosed with depression and/or anxiety and prescribed medications that don't help. Perhaps you've helped your child with their ADHD diagnosis and are now wondering if you have it to? Tune in today to learn more and be sure to share this interview with a friend.

I believe in preventative health and today I am discussing my experience getting my second colonoscopy at the age of 53. The recommended age for colonoscopies is now 45 instead of 50. I think many people put it off because they don't know what is going to happen, so I'm going into detail (without sharing TMI) so you can feel prepared.

I put my colonoscopy off for too long because I didn't have enough information, so I wanted to share what I know based on what I went through in case it helps you. Also, my first colonoscopy was incomplete. In this solocast I share what was different the second time around, including the anesthesia used and why I scheduled it for a different time of day.

This episode is not advice. It is for entertainment purposes only. Anything dealing with your health should be discussed with your trusted healthcare provider, always.

"If the average person just more consistently did what they already know they'd be healthier, happier, and be making more money." – Brian Moran

Brian Moran the New York Times bestselling author of "The 12 Week Year: Get More Done in 12 Weeks than Others Do in 12 Months" is going to share how to get more done in less time. He will take us into this execution system he developed while also sharing easy to implement time management strategies.

WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:

Why the 12 week year is an execution system and how that helps you get more done in less time. It's not enough to know. You have to execute. Knowledge is only powerful if you act on it. Get out of the annual environment. With this program, you are going to stop after 12 weeks and that is your year. Measure your success or failure and measure the progress and then go again. It's a fluid process. You can use this professionally or personally. You can do anything for 12 weeks and then decide is that somethingI want to do again. Your vision is you're why. Your goals NEED to align with the vision. At the goal level, know the difference between goals and tactics and outcomes and actions. The actions we have control over. Goals are outcomes. Make sure at the goal level that is measurable – it's an outcome. Determine what are the most important actions. Most plans are conceptual not tactical. You need to spell out the specific actions and focus on "less is more". Stay connected to your vision by putting the longer term vision in front of you – laminate a card you can look at every day. Create visual reminders. The difference between a habit and routine is key. Ex, going to the gym is a routine not a habit and routines are what drive success. How you begin and end your day needs a routine. The key is to start off positive. End your day with gratitude. How to manage time. Time blocking – 3 core blocks:
