Embrace Compassion And Flexibility In Your Journey Living your values in different areas of life (e.g., career, family, leisure, relationships, health) allows you to live a life of meaning, purpose, and fulfillment. It is important that we adopt self-compassion and a “flexible fulfillment” mindset to optimize our well-being. As we engage in various roles that we care about, we will naturally experience the full spectrum of emotions that inevitably goes with pursuing a life that deeply matters to us. Therefore, rather than being your own worst and harshest critic when you experience painful or uncomfortable thoughts and emotions, give yourself understanding, compassion, and flexibility. This will allow you to feel deeply connected and engaged with the fullness and richness of your life, while also navigating all that comes with juggling the various roles that you care about. – Dr. Lori Ochoa, Personal Development Coach & Behavior Analyst READ THE FULL ARTICLE Brainz podcast How to change your life in 3 minutes - Brainz Podcast with Regan Hillyer Regan Anne Hillyer is a Serial Entrepreneur, Philanthropist, Energetic Coach, International Speaker and Mindset Coach and the CEO and founder of, amongst other ventures, Regan Hillyer International (RHI), a global 8-figure business.

Aileen Dunbar is a certified Baby-Led Sleep and Well-Being Specialist, a teacher with 15 years of experience, and the mother of two little ones: a 7-year-old boy and a 4-year-old girl. She founded Connected Slumber Baby/Toddler Sleep Support in 2021 to help families get more sleep without using sleep training. Here is what led her to become certified as a holistic sleep coach. When she had her son in 2017, it was clear from the start that he was not sleeping as much as the books said he was supposed to. She didn’t want to use traditional sleep training methods but wasn’t sure what else to do. That was until she found the Baby-Led Sleep approach created by Lauren Weber. She decided to take one of Lauren’s sleep courses and felt immediately empowered through the knowledge she gained about developmentally normal expectations for sleep and strategies she could use to change what was no longer working for her. Then, when her daughter was born, it was clear she was a better sleeper overall. The first couple of months were relatively easy as she would sleep anywhere and for long stretches! As her daughter grew, she went through various sleep challenges, but she didn't stress out over it due to the confidence and knowledge she had gained from the sleep courses. As a certified Baby-Led Sleep and Well-Being Specialist, her goal is to help her clients with their family wellness needs by providing the guidance and resources needed to understand the root cause of any sleep issues and co-create a sleep plan that works for you, always keeping the attachment relationship between you and your child at the forefront. She will never use any form of sleep training but will guide you through how to make parent-led changes while supporting your child’s emotions. She is also passionate about reassuring parents that their baby’s sleep is normal and identifying any potential causes for sleep disruptions that should be further investigated. She is very empathetic, and she knows what it is like to feel overwhelmed by societal pressures put on new parents when it comes to sleep. So, her top goal is to empower you to know your baby best and relieve any stress you have about sleep so you can focus on being the best parent you can be!

After beginning her career as a college professor, Dr. Angela Cox has spent two decades in HR and Learning and Development at Fortune 500 companies. From designing meaningful learning experiences to facilitating leadership development programs and consulting around employee engagement and organizational effectiveness, she was consistently focused on how to increase employee satisfaction and psychological safety through deliberate acts of kindness and inclusion. Despite an ever-growing list of skills and credentials, Angela and her neurodivergent brain often found it difficult to fit in and to find places where she could do her best work. Finally, after years of toning down her passion and shaving on her quirky edges to try and fit into a corporate mold, Angela co-founded Three Kindnesses in order to give others the permission she always wanted in her own workplace environments. Permission for people to be themselves, quirky edges and all. An emerging voice of encouragement and inspiration in the neurodivergent community and an ambassador for deliberate, radical kindness, Angela is also the author of two soon-to-be-released books on "How to Be Kind" and a contributing writer to Entrepreneur's Leadership Network.
