How to have difficult conversations to heal the racial divide: An enlightening conversation with father Tom Gibbons and filmmaker Reinaldo Marcus Green Jun 09, 2020

Show notes

On the heels of the tragic deaths of Ahmaud Abery, George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, Dr. Judy sits down with two accomplished guests, award-winning filmmaker, writer, and director Reinaldo Marcus Green and Catholic priest Fr. Tom Gibbons and Vice President of Paulist Productions, to inspire meaningful, insightful, and non-defensive dialogue about systemic racism, social injustice and the inequities in American culture today. As the news cycle abruptly shifted from the COVID-19 crisis to a decades old-pandemic, racism; America watched as the empty streets of national stay-at-home orders turned into flooded boulevards filled with protestors united in their fight against injustice. In this challenging time, how do we resist the urge to look the other way, come to grips with our own ethical and moral responsibility and failures, and strengthen hope for change?

If you question your individual role in this critical “woke” moment or are looking for answers to tough questions you don’t dare ask, this episode offers the opportunity to hear from two thought leaders, one African American and Puerto Rican, the other self-described “100% Irish,” with vastly distinct and influential public platforms, who, like Dr. Judy, feel passionately about educating and healing a devastated nation. All three of them come to the table with honest, unfiltered admissions of their own triumphs and even potential missteps – and discuss why recognizing each of our imperfections and connecting with a source bigger than ourselves can help us to move forward to enact reform to a broken system. This episode will empower you to recognize and hone your ability to initiate radical transformation and fight injustice. Each person can make a powerful difference, and it starts one step at a time, with one conversation or one simple act.

Overcoming perfectionism and how to find yourself with prima ballerina Tiler Peck May 26, 2020

Show notes

Dr. Judy gets together with ultra-determined professional dancer Tiler Peck. Tiler is a principal dancer in the New York City Ballet, an actress; a fashion designer (Tiler Peck Designs), and author, recently penning her first children’s book, “Katarina Ballerina” which explores self-acceptance and embracing our own uniqueness at any age. Tiler reveals her childhood roots, growing up among accomplished dancers and athletes, and her journey from jazz and hip-hop to the competitive world of ballet. Tiler is a recovering perfectionist and she describes how she learned to embrace her imperfections, turning them into unique strengths. Her world crumbled when she suffered a devastating neck injury that took her away from dance, and the painstaking process of finding a doctor who understood exactly what was at stake. Her difficult road back to dance involved venturing down roads she never thought she would, and a rediscovery of who Tiler really is without dance in her life.

As the COVID-19 pandemic sidelined her professional dance career once again, Tiler shows us how she turns adversity into opportunity. Her love of dance and teaching inspired her to create a free daily online ballet class that anyone at any level can attend and learn from and enjoy, and she has given her time and talents to fundraising for other performers whose careers have been put on pause. This episode delves deeply into the life of a true artist and a consummate professional who shows us all how determination leads her to live a successful, passionate, thriving life every single day.

In this episode, we discuss:

1. Talent v. Discipline – which is more important? (5:00)

2. Being your personal best and stop comparisons (8:25)

3. What perfection really is (13:48)

4. How Katerina “the misfit” was born (18:20)

5. The imperfections that Tiler embraces about herself (27:35)

6. Tiler’s debilitating injury that changed her life (29:35)

7. Tiler’s dance down the naturopaths and the surprising revelations she learned (39:50)

8. Who Tiler is without dance (43:00)

9. Why everyone should dance with Tiler on Instagram – even if you’ve never danced (46:30)
