We love true crime - learning about it, thinking about motivations and realities. We also love laughing, relationships, warm conversations between friends, and righteous anger over the terrible things humans do to each other. All of this is why we love the Sinisterhood podcast. Hosted by Christie Brown and Heather McKinney, the pod covers crimes we’ve all heard of - your Jeanbenes, your Nexiums - and ones you haven’t - like Gwen Shamblin and the Weighdown workshop. Told with research rigor, empathy, and humor - we cannot recommend this one highly enough. Find sinisterhood pod anywhere you find podcasts.

Named for Harriett Tubman, Harriet’s Bookshop in Philadelphia celebrates women authors, women artists, and women activists. I found them in the COVID times, and so first began to shop from them online. The selection is great and the service is excellent, and by buying from them, you’re supporting an independent, black-owned shop. Also, their curated lists on Bookshop dot com are just the best. Find them at harriettsbookshop.com.

We live in such a fractured society, that only seems to be getting more so. Research shows that the way people change their minds about ideas and the way they shift their worldview to include others is through stories and relationships - not shame or statistics. In service to that idea, we run a series on YouTube called ‘Welcome to My World’. It’s an interview show where Dr. Kristen gets to talk to fascinating folks from all walks of life twice a week about something in their lives the rest of us should know more about. She's chatted about Japanese gaming culture, the universal law of attraction, what it means to be a ghostwriter, and more. Find the series on our youtube channel. We’ll see you there.
Last Wednesday (the 4th), we hit a tragic milestone in the USA when it was announced that the millionth person died from COVID. We're going to hold space to talk about death, trauma, and the far-reaching impacts of this pandemic life.

We love podcasts. We love David Tennant. So when David Tennant decided to do a podcast, we were in like Flynn. David Tennant Does a Podcast With is catnip for The Good Doctors. Each episode features a chat with a different human - usually an actor, musician, or politician. David is kind, witty, and thoughtful, as we all knew he would be, and it makes him a fabulous interviewer. We’re telling you about this podcast because it’s an excellent empathy exercise. Empathy is all about asking questions and listening, it’s a simple, yet difficult, place to start. These convos are perfect for the morning commute or short flight - a little learning, a little laughter, and away you go! You can find David Tennant Does a Podcast With on the internets and anywhere you get a podcast.
'In epsiode 4, the show branches dramatically from the books and leans fully into the love triangle approach. The Good Doctors discuss plot-driven vs. character-driven writing, and the screen time dedicated to heavy breathing in libraries.

Today’s podcast is courtesy of my new favorite self-care supplier, Asutra. I found Asutra while skimming a listicle on Black women-owned businesses.

I use their Lavender scented yoga mat detox cleaner and it’s gorgeous. They have a whole range of products that are affordable, organic, and cruelty free. Learn more and happy shopping at asutra.com.

On today’s podcast we wanted to share with you the story of how we started a research institute on the back of a napkin. No really - we’re serious. In the midst of the first lockdown we were asked to create an internship program for students at Charleston Southern University so that they could graduate. From that, the Community Research Institute was born. We started the institute to not only give paid work to the students, but to serve local businesses in the Low Country. A few short years later, and we’re now working with the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce to place interns with local businesses in need of social media and marketing help. We’re exceptionally proud of this program and you can learn more about it at communityresearchinstitute.org.

We are in constant search of locally owned bookstores. Since we spend so much time in Charleston, South Carolina these days for work, it’s no surprise that we visited Blue Bicycle Books on one of our recent trips. Located in historic downtown Charleston, BBB (as they call themselves) has a wide selection of reading material, from bestsellers to local history to rare used books and collectibles. You know we left with a tote bag full of gems. You can find more about this lovely store by visiting their website at bluebicyclebooks.com.

One of the things my mother instilled in me is that when people are in crisis, they still need to eat. Evidently, Chef Jose Andres believes the same. His organization, World Central Kitchen, shows up anywhere in the world where a disaster has happened - natural or man-made - and cooks for folks while the aftermath gets sorted. They’ve cooked for first responders fighting COVID, Puerto Rican citizens sorting out their lives after Hurrican Maria’s wrath reigned upon them, and more. They also provide training in the culinary arts and do advocacy work towards the elimination of food deserts in the U.S. and abroad. To donate, volunteer, or just to learn more, head to wck.org. They’re one of my absolute favorite nonprofits and a go-to whenever we have spare cash in the Donnelly house.
The Good Doctors discuss the immense risk taken on by the whistleblowers before they're protected by whistleblower laws on this week's episode of The Dropout.

Today’s podcast is brought to you by one of my favorite Pittsburgh organizations 412 Food Rescue.

Learn more about their work at 412foodrescue.org or if you’re listening in the Pittsburgh region download the app to become a Food Rescue Hero today!

We live in such a fractured society, that only seems to be getting more so. Research shows that the way people change their minds about ideas and the way they shift their worldview to include others is through stories and relationships - not shame or statistics. In service to that idea, we run a series on YouTube called ‘Welcome to My World’. It’s an interview show where Dr. Kristen gets to talk to fascinating folks from all walks of life twice a week about something in their lives the rest of us should know more about. She's chatted about Japanese gaming culture, the universal law of attraction, what it means to be a ghostwriter, and more. Find the series on our youtube channel. We’ll see you there.

Do you automatically say ‘yes’ to everything people ask you to do without making sure you can, you know, actually do it? Are you constantly overcommitted and overwhelmed and under-rested? Me too, my friend, and it’s been a constant practice over the last few years to change those behaviors. And I’ll tell ya, I wish I’d had Jennifer Bassman’s book Stop Being a Doormat when I started. It’s clear, to the point, and is a great hybrid of a workbook and book, that allows for processing and committing to action steps. You can grab it at Amazon - that’s Stop Being a Doormat by Jennifer Bassman.
Now we're getting to the good stuff! The Good Doctors watch and review episode 4 where Elizabeth decides to fully lean in to using lies to keep her company going.

Sometimes the best things do come in small packages. This is the case for The Tiny Bookstore, located just north of downtown Pittsburgh. Though they may be small, they pack a big punch. Black-owned and run with the goal of using their space to speak out against inequality. If they don’t have your book in stock, they are great about ordering and delivering it. I have gotten several deliveries from them throughout these pandemic times. Learn more about who they are, what they do, and what they’ve got at tinybooksPGH.com.

Today’s episode is brought to you by another one of my favorite podcasts, ‘This Land.’ ‘This Land’ is produced by Crooked Media and hosted by Rebecca Nagle - a Cherokee writer, advocate, and language learner. Rebecca uses her keen investigative skills to dig deep into specific court cases and their myriad of implications for Indian Country. Season 1 was a cracker and Season 2 dropped in August 2021. This most recent season explores how a custody case over a Native child has far-ranging implications for the sanctity of the Indian Child Welfare Act, tribal sovereignty, and civil rights. The show is a fabulous mix of history and culture with a sprinkling of mystery and legal theory - what a combo! Find ‘This Land’ on any podcaster service and tell all your friends!

Did you know that there are only three countries in the world that weren’t colonized by a European entity at some point in their history? We didn’t either, but it got us thinking about how important the legacy of colonization must be on all the others and we launched our Colonizer’s World Tour in 2021 to investigate further. Each week, we look at a different country, the legacy of colonization within it, and what that place can teach the rest of us about empathy and inclusivity.

We love true crime - learning about it, thinking about motivations and realities. We also love laughing, relationships, warm conversations between friends, and righteous anger over the terrible things humans do to each other. All of this is why we love the Sinisterhood podcast. Hosted by Christie Brown and Heather McKinney, the pod covers crimes we’ve all heard of - your Jeanbenes, your Nxivms - and ones you haven’t - like Gwen Shamblin and the Weighdown workshop.

One of the things my mother instilled in me is that when people are in crisis, they still need to eat. Evidently, Chef Jose Andres believes the same. His organization, World Central Kitchen, shows up anywhere in the world where a disaster has happened - natural or man-made - and cooks for folks while the aftermath gets sorted. They’ve cooked for first responders fighting COVID, Puerto Rican citizens sorting out their lives after Hurrican Maria’s wrath reigned upon them, and more. They also provide training in the culinary arts and do advocacy work towards the elimination of food deserts in the U.S. and abroad. To donate, volunteer, or just to learn more, head to wck.org. They’re one of my absolute favorite nonprofits and a go-to whenever we have spare cash in the Donnelly house.

On today’s podcast we wanted to share with you the story of how we started a research institute on the back of a napkin. No really - we’re serious. In the midst of the first lockdown we were asked to create an internship program for students at Charleston Southern University so that they could graduate. From that, the Community Research Institute was born. We started the institute to not only give paid work to the students, but to serve local businesses in the Low Country. A few short years later, and we’re now working with the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce to place interns with local businesses in need of social media and marketing help. We’re exceptionally proud of this program and you can learn more about it at communityresearchinstitute.org.
Episode 4 finishes up our coverage of The Pharmacist. Dr. Erin and Dr. Kristen recap the final thoughts the series leaves us with, as well as sharing their own: what they learned from this series, how it ties in with the larger narrative of the national and global opioid crisis, and mixed feelings about hope.

Do you automatically say ‘yes’ to everything people ask you to do without making sure you can, you know, actually do it? Are you constantly overcommitted and overwhelmed and under-rested? Me too, my friend, and it’s been a constant practice over the last few years to change those behaviors. And I’ll tell ya, I wish I’d had Jennifer Bassman’s book Stop Being a Doormat when I started. It’s clear, to the point, and is a great hybrid of a workbook and book, that allows for processing and committing to action steps. You can grab it at Amazon - that’s Stop Being a Doormat by Jennifer Bassman.

The most common question we get asked is "what is empathy?" Our answer? It’s the consistent decision to understand yourself and others so that we can all have fuller and richer human experiences. It’s a simple statement with a lot of complicated implications. We love complications, to be honest, because the more complicated something is, it’s usually more real. In this light, we’ve designed a 2-day virtual masterclass to dig into some of what it looks like to do the work of empathy.

The most common question we get asked is "what is empathy?" Our answer? It’s the consistent decision to understand yourself and others so that we can all have fuller and richer human experiences. It’s a simple statement with a lot of complicated implications. We love complications, to be honest, because the more complicated something is, it’s usually more real. In this light, we’ve designed a 2-day virtual masterclass to dig into some of what it looks like to do the work of empathy. We’ll have discussions about inclusivity, how everyone has trauma and none of it is comparable, how to set boundaries and why the Puritans were and are the worst, and more.

We live in such a fractured society, that only seems to be getting more so. Research shows that the way people change their minds about ideas and the way they shift their worldview to include others is through stories and relationships - not shame or statistics. In service to that idea, we run a series on YouTube called ‘Welcome to My World’. It’s an interview show where I get to talk to fascinating folks from all walks of life twice a week about something in their lives the rest of us should know more about. I’ve chatted about Japanese gaming culture, the universal law of attraction, what it means to be a ghostwriter, and more. Find the series on our youtube channel. I’ll see you there.

Did you know that there are only three countries in the world that weren’t colonized by a European entity at some point in their history? We didn’t either, but it got us thinking about how important the legacy of colonization must be on all the others and we launched our Colonizer’s World Tour in 2021 to investigate further. Each week, we look at a different country, the legacy of colonization within it, and what that place can teach the rest of us about empathy and inclusivity.

We love podcasts. We love David Tennant. So when David Tennant decided to do a podcast, we were in like Flynn. David Tennant Does a Podcast With is catnip for The Good Doctors. Each episode features a chat with a different human - usually an actor, musician, or politician. David is kind, witty, and thoughtful, as we all knew he would be, and it makes him a fabulous interviewer. We’re telling you about this podcast because it’s an excellent empathy exercise. Empathy is all about asking questions and listening, it’s a simple, yet difficult, place to start. These convos are perfect for the morning commute or short flight - a little learning, a little laughter, and away you go! You can find David Tennant Does a Podcast With on the internets and anywhere you get a podcast.

On today’s podcast, we wanted to share with you the story of how we started a research institute on the back of a napkin. No really - we’re serious. In the midst of the first lockdown, we were asked to create an internship program for students at Charleston Southern University so that they could graduate. From that, the Community Research Institute was born. We started the institute to not only give paid work to the students but to serve local businesses in the Low Country. A few short years later and we’re now working with the Charleston Metro Chamber of Commerce to place interns with local businesses in need of social media and marketing help. We’re exceptionally proud of this program and you can learn more about it at community research institute dot org.
In this recap, the Good Doctors talk about the performativity of royalty and how in God's name Lizzie manages balancing her marriage and politics. Dr. Kristen goes in-depth in explaining the religious history of anointing and rants some more about the men in the show.

One of the things my mother instilled in me is that when people are in crisis, they still need to eat. Evidently, Chef Jose Andres believes the same. His organization, World Central Kitchen, shows up anywhere in the world where a disaster has happened - natural or man-made - and cooks for folks while the aftermath gets sorted. They’ve cooked for first responders fighting COVID, Puerto Rican citizens sorting out their lives after Hurrican Maria’s wrath reigned upon them, and more. They also provide training in the culinary arts, and do advocacy work towards the elimination of food deserts in the U.S. and abroad. To donate, or volunteer, or just to learn more, head to wck.org. They’re one of my absolute favorite nonprofits and a go-to whenever we have spare cash in the Donnelly house.
The Good Doctors are back with Episode 3 of the first season of Netflix's 'The Crown' and are talking about all the gossip in 'Windsor.'

Today’s episode is brought to you by another one of my favorite podcasts, ‘This Land.’ ‘This Land’ is produced by Crooked Media and hosted by Rebecca Nagle - a Cherokee writer, advocate, and language learner. Rebecca uses her keen investigative skills to dig deep into specific court cases and their myriad of implications for Indian Country. Season 1 was a cracker and Season 2 dropped in August 2021. This most recent season explores how a custody case over a Native child has far-ranging implications for the sanctity of the Indian Child Welfare Act, tribal sovereignty, and civil rights. The show is a fabulous mix of history and culture with a sprinkling of mystery and legal theory - what a combo! Find ‘This Land’ on any podcaster service and tell all your friends!
The Good Doctors are back to discuss Episode 2 'Hyde Park Corner.' They unpack the constitutional monarchy, the drama of David's abdication and Albert's leadership instincts. The big part of the episode is the death of the King - so they discuss the difficulty of being a woman in power, how Elizabeth maintains a piece of her identity, and the lasting impact of Queen Mary's letter to Elizabeth especially in terms of toxic perspectives of leadership.

I love true crime - learning about it, thinking about motivations and realities. I also love laughing, relationships, warm conversations between friends, and righteous anger over the terrible things humans do to each other. All of this is why I love the Sinisterhood podcast. Hosted by Christie Brown and Heather McKinney, the pod covers crimes we’ve all heard of - your Jeanbenes, your Nexiums - and ones you haven’t - like Gwen Shamblin and the Weighdown workshop. Told with research rigor, empathy, and humor - I cannot recommend this one highly enough. Find sinisterhood pod anywhere you find podcasts.

They also provide training in the culinary arts and do advocacy work towards the elimination of food deserts in the U.S. and abroad. To donate, or volunteer, or just to learn more, head to wck.org. They’re one of my absolute favorite nonprofits and a go-to whenever we have spare cash in the Donnelly house.
In a special, audio-only episode, The Good Doctors talk about their own holiday traditions with family and friends: food, movies, music, and decorations!

Today’s podcast is courtesy of my new favorite self-care supplier, Asutra. I found Asutra while skimming a listicle on Black women-owned businesses. Asutra is not only women-owned but women-led with Stephanie Morimoto as CEO and Venus Williams, you heard me, that Venus Williams, as part-owner and Chief Brand Officer. I use their Lavender scented yoga mat detox cleaner and it’s gorgeous. They have a whole range of products that are affordable, organic, and cruelty-free. Learn more and happy shopping at asutra.com.

Our final Christmas movie from the VAULT for this holiday season was the sweet and fun "Christmas Ever After," available on Lifetime. Another great film that left us delighted by its casual, comfortable inclusivity and the joy of seeing humans being human - and writers being writers, which we both know all too well!

We firmly believe in using our podcast platform for good. So we’ve decided to share some of our favorite charities and nonprofits in the ad breaks. Today’s podcast is brought to you by Women Make Movies. The Good Doctors first encountered this fantastic organization when they offered free virtual viewings of their selection of films for Native American Heritage Month in 2020. For 45 years, Women Make Movies have been empowering and supporting women filmmakers, directors, editors, etc. Direct from their own website: “As the world’s leading distributor of independent films by and about women, we amplify historically ignored voices and challenge the mainstream media.” Since a big focus for us here at Abbey Research is art made by and about women and other marginalized groups, it’s a match made in heaven! Head to wmm.com to sign up for their newsletter, register for a screening, or donate today!

Named for Harriett Tubman, Harriet’s Bookshop in Philadelphia celebrates women authors, women artists, and women activists. I found them in the COVID times, and so first began to shop from them online. The selection is great and the service is excellent, and by buying from them, you’re supporting an independent, black-owned shop. Also, their curated lists on Bookshop dot com are just the best. Find them at harriettsbookshop.com.

We live in such a fractured society, that only seems to be getting more so. Research shows that the way people change their minds about ideas and the way they shift their worldview to include others is through stories and relationships - not shame or statistics. In service to that idea, we run a series on YouTube called ‘Welcome to My World’. It’s an interview show where I get to talk to fascinating folks from all walks of life twice a week about something in their lives the rest of us should know more about. I’ve chatted about Japanese gaming culture, the universal law of attraction, what it means to be a ghostwriter, and more. Find the series on our youtube channel. I’ll see you there.

Today’s podcast is brought to you by one of my favorite Pittsburgh organizations 412 Food Rescue. Powered by volunteers, or Food Rescue Heroes, the organization uses technology to fight food insecurity. Volunteers download the app, rescue food that is potential waste, and deliver it to non-profits helping the food insecure. It’s genius, it’s generous, and both The Good Doctors are big fans. Learn more about their work at 412foodrescue.org or if you’re listening in the Pittsburgh region download the app to become a Food Rescue Hero today!

Branding is one of those words that is used so often, I worry that we don’t really know what it means anymore. When we met with Robyn Graham, she helped us narrow down our visual branding with new headshots that aligned with everything we already were and wanted to be. If you’re local to Philadelphia, we can’t recommend working with her highly enough. The good news is that even if you’re not, Robyn offers virtual coaching on branding, business strategy, and more.

Today’s episode is brought to you by one of my favorite podcasts, All My Relations. Hosted by Matika Wilbur (from the Swinomish and Tulalip peoples of coastal Washington) and Adrienne Keene (a citizen of Cherokee Nation) - each episode explores a different topic facing Native peoples today. I love this show, I’ve learned so much - I laugh, I cry, I tell all my friends about it - including you lovely listeners. All around the world, but especially in the USA, we are terrible about teaching and learning about our Indigenous neighbors, but this podcast is a great place to start. Learn about the ladies, the show, and how you can support their work at allmyrelationspodcast.com.
The Good Doctors are back with another dive into the Hallmark Christmas movie VAULT, and in this video they are recapping 'Pride, Prejudice & Mistletoe.' They found it lacking in the P&P bit but not on the mistletoe - an overall delight, if not a great adaptation of the Austen classic!

Sometimes the best things do come in small packages. This is the case for The Tiny Bookstore, located just north of downtown Pittsburgh. Though they may be small, they pack a big punch. Black-owned and run with the goal of using their space to speak out against inequality. If they don’t have your book in stock, they are great about ordering and delivering it. I have gotten several deliveries from them throughout these pandemic times. Learn more about who they are, what they do, and what they’ve got at tinybooksPGH.com.

I love true crime - learning about it, thinking about motivations and realities. I also love laughing, relationships, warm conversations between friends, and righteous anger over the terrible things humans do to each other. All of this is why I love the Sinisterhood podcast. Hosted by Christie Brown and Heather McKinney, the pod covers crimes we’ve all heard of - your Jeanbenes, your Nexiums - and ones you haven’t - like Gwen Shamblin and the Weighdown workshop. Told with research rigor, empathy, and humor - I cannot recommend this one highly enough. Find sinisterhood pod anywhere you find podcasts.

One of the ways that we’ve committed to supporting small businesses is to exclusively buy gifts off of Etsy. Our friends and family get gorgeous handmade gifts, and a small business owner gets money in their pocket. It’s a win win-win for everyone. And one of our favorite Etsy stores is RK Creative Nest, which features gorgeous, handmade pottery that’s unique and functional. I’ve gotten a bunch of work from Robin, the owner, and everything arrives in perfect condition. Plus, there are frequent sales and a constantly refreshed stock. Check out RK Creative Nest here!
This may be the coldest Hot(ish) Take we've ever done seeing as this story first broke in 1935. We wish we were joking. With some swift movement on abuse claims in the last few weeks, we wanted to spend a few minutes talking about the Boy Scouts of American sexual abuse scandal. We raise some very important points about gender, trauma, and how we talk and teach about sex.

Did you know that there are only three countries in the world that weren’t colonized by a European entity at some point in their history? We didn’t either, but it got us thinking about how important the legacy of colonization must be on all the others and we launched our Colonizer’s World Tour in 2021 to investigate further. Each week, we look at a different country, the legacy of colonization within it, and what that place can teach the rest of us about empathy and inclusivity.

Today’s episode is brought to you by another one of my favorite podcasts, ‘This Land.’ ‘This Land’ is produced by Crooked Media and hosted by Rebecca Nagle - a Cherokee writer, advocate, and language learner. Rebecca uses her keen investigative skills to dig deep into specific court cases and their myriad of implications for Indian Country. Season 1 was a cracker and Season 2 dropped in August 2021. This most recent season explores how a custody case over a Native child has far-ranging implications for the sanctity of the Indian Child Welfare Act, tribal sovereignty, and civil rights. The show is a fabulous mix of history and culture with a sprinkling of mystery and legal theory - what a combo! Find ‘This Land’ on any podcaster service and tell all your friends!

A whole heck of a lot happened in Part 3. We get Esty's two very different experiences with sex, we learn more about her life with Yanky, about Yanky's attempts to change, and what the heck is going on with Moishe. We also have a fascinating discussion about the relationship of bodies in theology, and what happens when bodies belong to the community.
While the final part wraps up a lot of the story, we were left a little short on some of Esty's internal struggles. We learned more about Yanky and Moishe, and found out why Esty's Mom left. It was a beautiful exploration of how and why people leave their communities.

We love podcasts. We love David Tennant. So when David Tennant decided to do a podcast, we were in like Flynn. David Tennant Does a Podcast With is catnip for The Good Doctors. Each episode features a chat with a different human - usually an actor, musician, or politician. David is kind, witty, and thoughtful, as we all knew he would be, and it makes him a fabulous interviewer. We’re telling you about this podcast because it’s an excellent empathy exercise. Empathy is all about asking questions and listening, it’s a simple, yet difficult, place to start. These convos are perfect for the morning commute or short flight - a little learning, a little laughter, and away you go! You can find David Tennant Does a Podcast With on the internets and anywhere you get a podcast.
Join The Good Doctors for their discussion of the Netflix limited series 'Unorthodox.' Following the story of Esty and her process of leaving the Satmar Hassidic Jewish community she belonged to, it's a remarkable story of perseverance and identity and belonging.
In Part 1, we discuss the layers of identity and trauma, the importance of water in Hassidic traditions, and why the respect of the Yiddish language is critical to the success of the show.
In part 2, we discuss the regimented gender roles, the wedding, the juxtaposition of the Orthodox and outside world, and the power of showing the story, not telling.

We live in such a fractured society, that only seems to be getting more so. Research shows that the way people change their minds about ideas and the way they shift their worldview to include others is through stories and relationships - not shame or statistics. In service to that idea, we run a series on YouTube called ‘Welcome to My World’. It’s an interview show where I get to talk to fascinating folks from all walks of life twice a week about something in their lives the rest of us should know more about. I’ve chatted about Japanese gaming culture, the universal law of attraction, what it means to be a ghostwriter, and more. Find the series on our youtube channel. I’ll see you there.
Empathy means working to understand how others see the world. We do a lot of that learning through the pop culture we avidly consume. We'll be sharing some of our favs - even going back to childhood!

Sometimes the best things do come in small packages. This is the case for The Tiny Bookstore, located just north of downtown Pittsburgh. Though they may be small, they pack a big punch. Black-owned and run with the goal of using their space to speak out against inequality. If they don’t have your book in stock, they are great about ordering and delivering it. I have gotten several deliveries from them throughout these pandemic times. Learn more about who they are, what they do, and what they’ve got at tinybooksPGH.com.

Did you know that there are only three countries in the world that weren’t colonized by a European entity at some point in their history?

Each week, we look at a different country, the legacy of colonization within it, and what that place can teach the rest of us about empathy and inclusivity.

We firmly believe in using our podcast platform for good. So we’ve decided to share some of our favorite charities and nonprofits in the ad breaks. Today’s podcast is brought to you by Women Make Movies. The Good Doctors first encountered this fantastic organization when they offered free virtual viewings of their selection of films for Native American Heritage Month in 2020. For 45 years, Women Make Movies have been empowering and supporting women filmmakers, directors, editors, etc. Direct from their own website quote “As the world’s leading distributor of independent films by and about women, we amplify historically ignored voices and challenge the mainstream media.” Since a big focus for us here at Abbey Research is art made by and about women and other marginalized groups, it’s a match made in heaven! Head to wmm.com to sign up for their newsletter, register for a screening, or donate today!

We live in such a fractured society, that only seems to be getting more so. Research shows that the way people change their minds about ideas and the way they shift their worldview to include others is through stories and relationships - not shame or statistics. In service to that idea, we run a series on YouTube called ‘Welcome to My World’. It’s an interview show where I get to talk to fascinating folks from all walks of life twice a week about something in their lives the rest of us should know more about. I’ve chatted about Japanese gaming culture, the universal law of attraction, what it means to be a ghostwriter, and more. Find the series on our youtube channel at youtube.com/abbeyresearch. We’ll see you there!
SPOILERS AHOY It’s the final episode! The Good Doctors recap the end of season 1, which focuses on all the various marriages and love stories in the show, from the Queen, to Marina, to Daphne and Simon. We get some ends, some starts, and some hints at what’s to come!

Branding is one of those words that is used so often, I worry that we don’t really know what it means anymore. When we met with Robyn Graham, she helped us narrow down our visual branding with new headshots that aligned with everything we already were and wanted to be. If you’re local to Philadelphia, we can’t recommend working with her highly enough. The good news is that even if you’re not, Robyn offers virtual coaching on branding, business strategy, and more. Visit her at therobyngraham.com.
After some Empathy Exercises, the Good Doctors take your questions about setting boundaries at work.
