On the Season 2 debut of Lost Cultures: Living Legacies , we travel to Bermuda, an Atlantic island whose history spans centuries and continents. Once uninhabited, Bermuda became a vital stop in transatlantic trade, a maritime stronghold, and a cultural crossroads shaped by African, European, Caribbean, and Native American influences. Guests Dr. Kristy Warren and Dr. Edward Harris trace its transformation from an uninhabited island to a strategic outpost shaped by shipwrecks, colonization, the transatlantic slave trade, and the rise and fall of empires. Plus, former Director of Tourism Gary Phillips shares the story of the Gombey tradition, a vibrant performance art rooted in resistance, migration, and cultural fusion. Together, they reveal how Bermuda’s layered past continues to shape its people, culture, and identity today.

Season Six Finale: Grace the Graduate 59:33

Send me a Text Message about the show! Well, I've saved the best for last in this season finale. In 2022 I introduced you to my daughter, Grace. Close to finishing up her freshman year in high school, we talked about her experience being autistic and what ways she felt like she was different than "typical" teenagers. Now, three years later, Grace just graduated from high school and is about to embark on new adventures. I asked her if she would join me one more time on the podcast to do a little "where is she now" episode and revisit some of the same topics we first talked about in 2022. Join me in conversation with my incredibly brilliant, funny, insightful, and courageous daughter. It's my favorite episode yet. And yes, this is the season six finale. As Alice Cooper says, "School's Out for Summer", but for purposes of the podcast it would be "No New Episodes for Summer!" Not nearly as catchy, but still very true. Use this time to catch up on all the WeSTAT you may have missed and I'll see you again in the fall for season seven!

Send me a Text Message about the show! We should talk about divorce. I mean, talk about a topic that absolutely fits the theme of this show: talking about the things people DON’T want to talk about. Divorce is gotta be top three. Right? And it is definitely a topic that leaves those going through it feeling very isolated and alone. Because, no one wants to talk about it. Sharing a life with someone is hard. Raising kids is hard. Aging is hard. Changing is hard. I mean, it’s just hard. And requires attention and work. And I just do not think there are enough resources out there for people who need it. Especially ones that can be utilized early enough that they can actually make a difference. Which is why I am so happy to be talking to my guest today. Doctor Becky Whetstone is a licensed marriage and family therapist and nationally recognized expert on marriage crisis and divorce recovery.

All she could think about was her mom, passing a crack pipe, and her grandmother, ripped from her in a car accident. She embarked on a FOUR-YEAR deep dive into how the brain and body work.

I was particularly drawn to her essay about her IVF journey, "Very Nice Blastocysts," which is all about her struggle to determine what to do with her three frozen embryos left over from a successful round of IVF. I invited Nicole on to have one of my favorite types of conversations, a both/and one.

Raffi Grinberg is a Business leader, educator, and author of the new book "How to Be a Grown Up: The 14 Essential Skills You Didn’t Know You Needed (Until Just Now)”. Based in Washington DC., he co-founded The Constructive Dialogue Institute (with Jonathan Haidt) and runs the invite-only society, Dialog, which brings together an incredibly wide ranging group of global leaders and thinkers for informal conversations that can end up shaping our policy and culture. He graduated with honors from Princeton University and previously worked in management at Bain & Company. He is the author of a mathematics textbook published by Princeton University Press. He also created and taught the popular "Adulting 101" course at Boston College. I’ve already pre-ordered MANY copies of this book for both my kids and it will probably be my go-to gift for the many graduating seniors that I know. But it’s also incredibly important for parents to read this too. First to better support those that we love as they enter their next phase of life, and second, we need to do the exercises ourselves because it’s never too late to take a refresher course on, or maybe learn for the first time “how to be an adult” Buy the book!

Rare Disease Awareness with Kelly Berger and Avery Roberts 44:57

13 weeks ago44:57

44:57

Send me a Text Message about the show! I’m a little late to highlight rare disease month. Technically, the month of February traditionally is Rare Disease awareness month with Rare Disease Day falling on February 28th. But, sadly, as is happening with so many awareness months and days in the US, the FDA/NIH planned 2 day meeting focused on Rare Disease Day on 2/27 and 2/28 was cancelled this year. So, I guess I’m not too late after all, and instead I’m declaring today, the day you are listening to this podcast to be Rare Disease Day. A day to raise awareness for the 300 million people world wide living with a rare disease. A rare disease is when a disease affects fewer than 1 in 2000 people. And that rareness causes significant challenges. A lack of scientific knowledge and study about these diseases can make diagnosis more difficult. Many people with a rare disease spend a long time being misdiagnosed and therefore unable to access the types of treatments or support best suited for their actual disease. Funding for research can be harder to find when you are studying a disease that impacts a smaller proportion of the population. And yet, that smaller proportion does not make the difficulty of living with a rare disease any easier. So awareness is incredibly important, to bring attention to those with rare disease, to create support and community, and to encourage research. And today, I have two women as my guests on the show that are living with a rare disease. Avery Roberts resides in New York, and is a wearer of many hats — an advocate, dancer, foodie, and avid traveler. She was the first wheelchair user to perform on the great stage of the world-renowned Radio City Musical Hall in New York City, as well as, separately, among the first few wheelchair users to feature in a nationally televised live production, where she appeared as a dancer. Kelly Berger resides in Cincinnati, Ohio, and is a passionate advocate for rare disease, winning a 2024 RareVoice Award. She adores live music and is always attending a concert, typically driving states away to see her favorites. Kelly utilizes her adapted mobility van as her means of independence fueling her thirst for constant travel adventures—she’s explored over 40 states and counting. They both have Congenital Muscular Dystrophy or CMD for short and they both were recently on Capitol Hill lobbying for Rare disease the last week in February. We talk about rare disease, the challenges facing those in the disability community, and the importance of having a seat at the table.

We Should Talk About the Broken Rungs in Women's Career Ladders with Kweilin Ellingrud 48:07

48:07

Send me a Text Message about the show! The broken rung: a phenomenon even more pervasive than the glass ceiling in holding women back from career success. Women around the world do extremely well when it comes to their education. They graduate at higher rates than men do and have higher average GPAs. But then a strange thing happens: Upon entering the workforce, they immediately lose their advantage. When the first promotions come around, the slide continues—for every 100 men who are promoted to manager, only 81 women get promoted. Women risk falling behind far before they are even tapping the “glass ceiling”. So, what should we do about that? Especially in a climate where talking about diversity, equity, and inclusion has become the third rail of business development? McKinsey senior partners Kweilin Ellingrud, Lareina Yee, and María del Mar Martínez have written a new book, THE BROKEN RUNG: When the Career Ladder Breaks for Women--and How They Can Succeed in Spite of It. The book is based on over a decade of McKinsey research, conversations with more than 50 remarkable leaders, and their own experiences as senior partners working with companies and women leaders. Buy the book Kweilin Ellingrud is McKinsey's Chief Diversity Officer and a director of the McKinsey Global Institute, based in Minneapolis. As a senior partner at McKinsey, she has led research on the topics of gender equality, racial equity, generative AI, the future of work, and global competitiveness. She also serves clients in financial services across strategy and operational transformations.

Today is no different. Today I want to talk about death. This isn't the first time I've covered this topic. In fact, WAY back in 2020-even before the world shut down in a pandemic-I talked about death with three other incredible women. Here is a link to that episode, it's great! 2020 Death Episode So it should come as no surprise that I jumped at the opportunity to interview my guest today. Rupert Callender has been a self taught, self proclaimed “radical” undertaker for the past 25 years, bringing unlikely influences such as acid house, crop circles and the counterculture on what remains an extremely patriarchal and increasingly corporate industry. His stripped back immersive approach has led to him being declared “the best undertaker of all time, by a country mile” by The Good Funeral Guide. His company, The Green Funeral company is in the UK and his memoir, “What Remains? Life death and the human art of undertaking” has been optioned by Working Title to turn into a TV drama. https://www.thegreenfuneralcompany.co.uk/ Support the show Keep up with all things WeSTAT on any (or ALL) of the social feeds: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/westatpod/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@westatpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/westatpod/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/westatpod/ Twitter: https://x.com/WeSTATpod Have a topic or want to stay in touch via e-mail on all upcoming news? https://www.westatpod.com/ Help monetarily support the podcast by subscribing to the show!

Send me a Text Message about the show! Time to do an update on how things are going in the Department of Education now that we are 623 days into the Trump administration. Wait, no…..I’m being told it has actually been 27 days. I’m sorry. So when I last spoke about the Dept of Education, it was November 18th and I was reacting to the release of then President elect Trump’s 10 point education plan. I did an overview on the history of the Department of Education and an overview of the programs in which the Department oversees. I would encourage you, if you haven’t already, to listen to that episode first as I will be jumping into a lot more detail and specifics about the Department of Education in this episode. You can listen to that episode here And now we know what the reality is of this administration’s plan. As President Trump said in a press conference from the Oval office on February 13th, “I’d like to close the department of education immediately”. Although his nominee for Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon is still going through her confirmation hearing, she has echoed this goal, although perhaps on a slightly slower timeline than the President has said. Today I want to try my best to articulate what these proposed changes will mean in practice in as plain and clear language as I can.

WeSTAT AGAIN: Jamie Bruesehoff and Understanding Transgender Children 1:11:46

Send me a Text Message about the show! I am overwhelmed. There is so much information coming out each day that it becomes difficult to figure out what I should pay attention to -and I think that is the point. Flood the zone so no one thing can catch too much attention and so many many issues just flow right past us without notice. That's why I have been really trying to use discernment on the places I count on to get my information. And I want to be transparent with you so that you know the lens that I see things through. In today's episode, I share with you where I'm going to keep myself informed on the new administration and the changes that are being made. I'll link to the three places I specifically mentioned at the end of the show notes. Additionally, as I have been casting a net to try and figure out who I should be talking to and sharing with you, the WeSTAT community it occurred to me that I have already talked to so many knowledgeable and incredible people over the past five years of doing this podcast. But as with many things, as new information comes in, old information gets pushed farther back and out of the spotlight. So today, I want to pull something from the past and place it squarely back into the now. Jamie Bruesehoff is an award-winning advocate, sought-after speaker, and heartfelt writer. She is an openly queer woman married to a Lutheran pastor and mom to three spirited children, including an eighteen-year-old transgender daughter. She is passionate about sharing her family’s story, because she believes our stories are bridges to understanding, compassion, and celebration. My conversation with Jamie was so helpful to me to help me understand my own confusion about transgender people. And now, more than ever, I think a conversation with someone from that community is essential to de-stigmatizing this population. As Laverne Cox said BRILLIANTLY this week, "Trans people make up 1% of the population and we are not the reason your groceries are expensive, or your rent is too high. I think this country is focusing on the wrong 1%." Amen Laverne. https://www.jamiebruesehoff.com/ News Sources: Jessica Yellin and News Not Noise: https://newsnotnoise.com/ Axios: https://www.axios.com/ 19th News: https://19thnews.org/ Support the show Keep up with all things WeSTAT on any (or ALL) of the social feeds: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/westatpod/ Threads: https://www.threads.net/@westatpod Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/westatpod/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/westatpod/ Twitter: https://x.com/WeSTATpod Have a topic or want to stay in touch via e-mail on all upcoming news? https://www.westatpod.com/ Help monetarily support the podcast by subscribing to the show!

Send me a Text Message about the show! I said "wow" so much in this episode, and I even edited A LOT out. But talking with Sarah Beran and Brooks Bell about their separate journeys with colon cancer - both diagnosed when they were under 40(!) - left me almost speechless. Today, they’re survivors who have dedicated their lives to making sure others have access to early, life-saving colonoscopies. Brooks, a tech entrepreneur, and Sarah, a celebrity stylist, faced the terrifying reality that their cancers could have been prevented with earlier detection as regular screenings can detect precancerous polyps before they turn into cancer. Projected to become the leading cancer killer of adults under 50 by 2030, colon cancer is unique in that it is preventable! So Sarah and Brooks are launching Worldclass on Giving Tuesday, a non-profit apparel brand designed to raise awareness about colon cancer, where 100% of profits will go directly toward increasing access to colonoscopies for underserved communities. Join me this Giving Tuesday as we talk about our asses. Because a great ass is a terrible thing to waste.

I love our little democratic republic and think of democracy as a verb rather than a noun. Something that needs to be actively worked on and done, rather than just accepting it as a thing that will always exist. Personally, I don't think the Department of Education should be shut down. And I wanted to actually learn the "how" that would happen and remind myself (and you) on what it is the Department of Education actually does for all of us.
