Today my spotlight is on the studies of Michaela Haas, PhD and the experiences that she has had that led to the writing of her book, “Bouncing Forward.”

Michaela draws from her conversations with civil rights icon Maya Angelou, autistic pioneer Temple Grandin, and famed jazz guitarist Coco Shumann, who played for his life in Aushwitz.

This is a powerful conversation about resilience and reshaping the way we think about crisis.

Scholar, Author, reporter and television host Michaela Haas connects cutting-edge research to ancient Buddhist wisdom as a twenty year student of meditation, and she discusses a holistic context for growth and healing.

The Spotlight this week is on the stunning bright light that is Elan Carter-Price, formerly a successful Model and Actress who is now finding additional success as a Producer and Writer.

Elan is the owner of TracingLondon Entertainment Productions.

This is an empowering conversation about being the child of a famous celebrity, and all of the experiences this entails.

We will talk about the experiences that shaped her world, from traveling with them and being around other band members’ addictions and coping with that, to the privileges and pitfalls of being one of the few minorities where she grew up, yet having the status of being from a famous family.

Please tune in and listen and learn, as Elan shares some of her fascinating personal experiences and anecdotes.

Today, my Spotlight shines on my very knowledgable and very sought-after Guest, Richard Taite, Founder and CEO of Cliffside Malibu.

On the heels of his excellent and informative interview about the opioid epidemic on ‘Real Time With Bill Maher,’ Richard sits down with me to discuss that topic, as well as the Affordable Care Act, Parity and Legislature issues around insurance and recovery that are seldom discussed openly in the healthcare space.

Richard has tons of experience in this area, and is revered and respected as an expert on these topics. He was also featured in the documentary ‘Prescription Thugs’ released nationwide earlier this year, currently on Netflix and iTunes, as the preeminent addiction expert in the healthcare space.

This is an episode that anyone working in Healthcare should be sure to tune in to hear.
