Listen in on my conversation with Laura Olinger, a scientist, fitness and wellness teacher, and a certified Gems of Excellence teacher. We discussed neuroscience and energy fields, resiliency, and being one&apos;s authentic self within an organization. Laura lives where science and mysticism meet and combines her loves of moving, music, science, and humor into all Vintage Moves programs, which are built on the belief that we can be “always getting better.” You can learn more about Laura and the Gems of Excellence program on her website: <a href='https://www.vintagemoves.co/intros-to-gems'>VintageMoves.co</a> or her <a href='https://linktr.ee/vintagemoves'>LinkTree</a>.__________ Podcast editor: <a href="https://www.neelpanji.com/">Neel Panji</a> Contact Manya via <a href="https://manyachylinski.com">www.ManyaChylinski.com</a> Follow Manya on <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/manyachylinski/">LinkedIn</a> or <a href="https://twitter.com/ManyaChylinski">Twitter</a> #trauma #resilience #resiliency #NotesOnResilience #MentalHealth #TraumaInformed #TraumaSensitive

17: Work-life harmony with Matthew Lostaglia

 Conversations about trauma, resilience, and compassion.  How do we genuinely support individuals who have experienced trauma and build inclusive and safe environments? Trauma significantly affects the mental and physical health of those who experience it, and personal resiliency is only part of the solution. The rest lies in addressing organizational, systemic, and social determinants of health and wellness, and making the effort to genuinely understand the impact of trauma.  Here, we ask and answer the tough questions about how wellness is framed in an organizational context, what supports are available and why, what the barriers are to supporting trauma survivors, and what best practices contribute to mental wellness. These conversations provide a framework to identify areas for change and actionable steps to reshape organizations to be truly trauma sensitive.
