About this listen

Maureen Kafkis is a Doctor of Occupational Therapy, the Brain BS™ coach, and the host of The Power of Community & Collaboration Podcast. When she learned that the average human brain has over 60,000 thoughts a day and that most of them are lies (Brain BS™) that cause needless suffering, she started to learn how to separate the fact from fiction in her mind and has never looked back. Maureen truly believes that living consciously, understanding how your brains work, and learning to feel your feelings are necessary for an empowering and fulfilling life. She brings her expertise and extensive knowledge to inspire people in the SB area and beyond to learn how to live consciously, tap into their personal power and become leaders in their community.


In a world where there is so much division and way too much focus on competition, the Brain BS™ Coach is promoting a conscious community and lifestyle built on leadership energy, collaboration, and mutual support. She is doing that because the power of the collective far exceeds anything that can be done at the individual level and it’s just way more fun! If we all consciously collaborate with one another and succeed together we can have a substantial ripple effect that will extend far beyond our local community. Listen and learn how you can add value to your own community!

    One of my favorite sayings I like to use around menopause management is how you live, is how you menopause, is how you die.

    If you approach menopause proactively and with leadership energy you will not only improve your own life, it will have a beautiful ripple effect on the people around you...

    that includes loved ones and your entire community. Take time to listen to this one!

  • 256) The Elephant Project & So Much More!

    256) The Elephant Project & So Much More!
    Oct 8 2025

    This week on The Power of Community & Collaboration Podcast I speak with Kristina McKean about The Elephant Project in Thailand. We discuss her love for animals and how it inspired her to start this amazing project that has saved thousands of elephants and now cats and dogs as well.

    This is a thought provoking conversation that will hopefully deter you from riding elephants when you learn about what those poor animals have to endure at the hands of humans who want to break their spirit. I also suspect that listening to Kristina, who is a great role model for how powerful one person can be, will inspire you to tap into your own leadership energy so that you can find your own way to make a difference and contribute to community.

    I am sharing the link to The Elephant Project and Kristina's TED Talk that illuminates the power of one!
