  • Rewriting Your Story with Jillian Johnsrud: Mini-Retirements and Breaking the Burnout Cycle

    Rewriting Your Story with Jillian Johnsrud: Mini-Retirements and Breaking the Burnout Cycle
    Dec 24 2025
    In this episode, Dr. Resa E. Lewiss speaks with Jillian Johnsrud, author of Retire Often and mini-retirement coach, about taking intentional career breaks to combat burnout and realign with what matters most. Jillian defines mini-retirements as breaks of a month or longer where professionals step away from their primary career to focus on recovery, adventure, or family time. She works primarily with high-achieving professionals who have over-indexed on career advancement while under-indexing on lifestyle and wellbeing. The conversation explores the unique challenges facing healthcare professionals, including a dangerous cultural narrative instilled during medical training that physicians must suffer, lack agency, and simply endure. This programming makes it extraordinarily difficult for doctors to prioritize their own health and take necessary breaks.

    Dec 17 2025
    In this episode of Visible Voices, Dr. Resa E. Lewiss is in conversation with Dr. Claire Wardle, a leading expert on misinformation, media literacy, and public trust in science. Claire is an associate professor at Cornell and co-founder of the Information Futures Lab at Brown University's School of Public Health. She shares her decades of experience working across academia, international news organizations like the BBC, and the United Nations and in community non profits. The conversation explores the intersection of misinformation and public health, from vaccine hesitancy to the rise of AI chatbots and their impact on mental health. Dr. Wardle emphasizes that trust is local and everyone has an emotional relationship to information, explaining why human-centered design and community engagement are essential to combating false narratives. She offers practical advice for healthcare professionals considering social media storytelling, discusses the importance of media literacy education, and reveals what keeps her up at night about the absence of regulatory oversight in the age of personalized AI. The discussion highlights how communities, authentic storytelling, and cross-sector collaboration can help transform the internet into a place of trust while protecting public health and democracy.

  • Quite Literally Books: Finding Voice Through Forgotten Women

    Quite Literally Books: Finding Voice Through Forgotten Women
    Dec 10 2025
    In today's conversation Bremond Berry MacDougall and Lisa Endo Cooper, the duo behind Quite Literally Books talk about their heritage press republishing forgotten works by women authors. Lisa and Bremond share their journey of starting a heritage press without prior business experience. They describe the steep learning curve of navigating production, marketing, and sales. The physical design of their books reflects meticulous attention to detail. They use premium Munken paper milled in Europe, custom typography by designer Louise Fili, and lay-flat dispersion binding that allows one-handed reading without breaking the spine. Some book covers feature work by artist Anthony Russo. Their literary mission centers on republishing works that reveal how little has changed in over a century regarding issues of gender, race, and sexuality. They navigate the complex legacies of authors, acknowledging that women can be both progressive and flawed. Their first three releases explored the theme of home. The November release includes Herland by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, a cookbook from the 1890s, and all examining themes of home and domestic power.
