PTSD and Beyond

Dr. Deb Interviews Taylor Jacobson, Founder and CEO of Focusmate

Productivity. Wow.What exactly does that word even mean in a world of COVID19? One day life at work was in an office and then next day, a majority of people began working remotely. While remote working isn't new, this level of people working from home is new and this new experience is increasing isolation, desire for authentic connections, and meaningful relationships.

Enter, Taylor Jacobson, Founder and CEO of Focusmate; A person with an idea pitched to his friend. From that one idea, Taylor decided to try it out. From the feedback and interest, Focusmate was created!

Focusmate is a virtual coworking platform where you're paired up with a random coworker from all over the world! How does it work? You choose a time to work, Focusmate pairs you with an virtual accountability partner where you (and they) experience a live, virtual coworking session that will keep you on task, focused, and experience human connection!

Reconnecting with Yourself - Dr. Deb Interviews Harriet Cabelly, Author and Positive Psychology Coach

In this episode, Dr. Deb interviews Harriet Cabelly, LCSW, author, positive psychology coach, grief and adversity counselor, and speaker. Harriet describes when facing significant challenges, people often get stuck in focusing on the “why” questions of life. Due to her own life changing events, Harriet shares that nobody is immune from these types of events. She emphasizes that it’s rather how to live on and rise above the pain and suffering that accompanies life changing events.

Harriet’s work, both personally and professionally, extends to include the growth component of trauma. She shares, “The real work lies in answering the ‘how’ questions of life – how do we cope and adjust, how do we rebuild our lives and re-create new dreams, discover renewed purpose and bring more joy into the lives we have.”

Harriet wrote the book, Living Well Despite Adversity, to help others find renewed meaning and joy in their life. A collection of inspirational interviews, the book shares stories from some well-known people and their honest accounts of heartbreak, wisdom, purpose, and gratitude they found while facing challenges and loss.
