Nadia and Rob are joined by Dr. Cathy-Mae Karelse, author of "Disrupting White Mindfulness," to break down how workplace notions of mindfulness can be problematic, how the industry generates stress, and how we can change systems to change society. They also discuss workplace retaliation for social media posts related to the Israeli-Hamas war and how return to the office mandates are driving discrimination claims for mental health reasons. Later, hear a rare "double-rave" as we celebrate the work of a gaming researcher and inclusive naming for birds.
