Some were surprising. If we recognize them in ourselves, we can introspect and figure out whether we feel burned out. [0:10:22] Expanding Minds Interview: [Social Wellness] We interview Shereen Samuels in the area of Social Wellness.⁠ An article sparked discussion: “Of Course You Know What ‘Woke’ Means”, by Freddie DeBoer. It got us thinking, then concluding that something has changed. It feels like a moment in history of generational shift. Some people imbue “woke” with absolute fury, but if you ask why then it’s not clear. There are many differences in the way Millennials and Gen Zs grew up believing how the world works, compared to Baby Boomers and Gen Xers. With new generations there’s also a next level sophistication about how they judge what and how things are done. The word “woke” is being used as a way to shut down conversations. It’s being used by people who don’t want to think about what might lie underneath “woke”. It’s frustrating, because it’s a word that has such meaning to the black community. To have it co-opted in that way is painful.[0:27:37] Adventures of the Starving Artist: Cameron got a dose of small world syndrome, with several coincidences happening at the same event.[0:32:10] Move That Body: Laurie Flanagan is getting into Pilates. She’s having lots of fun and getting great workouts.[0:36:55] Running Popup: John loves music and how much it helps him. On this occasion, it swept frustration away.[0:39:55]  Flipside of the Coin: A meme hit home: I’m stuck between “I need to save money” and “You only live once”. It’s so true in life.Guest Information: Shereen Samuels has over 23 years of experience in DEI workplace initiatives, including change work, curriculum development, and group process facilitation.
