Deanna Brakefield, Jeremy Brakefield, Stone Gye, & Cara Wilson Neurodivergent News Live! Independence is often treated as the gold standard of success — but for neurodivergent people, that narrative can be harmful, unrealistic, and isolating. Tonight on Neurodivergent News LIVE, we’re unpacking the myth of independence and reframing support systems as a strength, not a deficit. We are going to rewrite the cultural expectations around “doing it all alone.” Together, we’ll explore why support is essential, what healthy interdependence looks like, and how building the right network can radically improve well-being and daily functioning for neurodivergent individuals.

When it comes to reclaiming our health, many of us start by looking for external solutions—new medications, trendy supplements, or quick-fix detox plans. But as this week’s conversation on Giving Staff to Wellness revealed, the most powerful medicine often comes from the simplest source: whole, natural food. In this heartfelt episode, Dr. J and Mei welcome longtime friend and wellness advocate Craig Pettigrew, who shares the personal story behind his life-changing decision to embrace a whole-food, plant-based lifestyle. While many people come to plant-based eating through medical necessity, Craig’s journey goes beyond physical transformation. It touches on identity, emotional healing, and the deep connection between what we eat and how we feel. Craig begins by reflecting on the early days of his transition—moments filled with confusion, frustration, and the overwhelming challenge of changing long-held habits. But as he explains, the first step toward healing is often simply acknowledging that something need

In the latest Step 2 Wellness episode, Dr. J and Mei welcomed holistic practitioner and educator Gail VanKanegan for an inspiring discussion on energy, healing, and seasonal balance. As autumn settles in and the frost begins to form, the trio explored how we can align our inner rhythm with the cycles of nature. Gail began by reminding us that our energy fields are deeply connected to the earth’s changes. Just as trees release their leaves, we too can let go of old patterns and emotions that no longer serve us. Healing, she explained, begins with awareness—tuning into how our body feels and honoring what it needs in each moment. The conversation touched on energy medicine, self-regulation, and grounding techniques to restore balance. Gail encouraged listeners to slow down, breathe deeply, and connect with the earth’s stabilizing energy. “We’re constantly exchanging energy with everything around us,” she shared. “When we bring awareness to that, we empower our healing.” Dr. J and Mei reflected on how healing

With over 25 years of clinical experience, Dawn’s perspective on healing is both scientific and deeply compassionate.

Whether it’s choosing nourishing foods, moving mindfully, or cultivating gratitude, Dawn emphasizes that every choice is a step toward self-healing.

Harbor Freight Transport Turns a Logistics Setback Into a Breakbulk 2025 Success Story Every year, the Breakbulk Conference brings together the leaders of the heavy cargo, logistics, and transportation world. For Harbor Freight Transport, the 2025 event in Houston was supposed to be a major showcase — new booth graphics, new services, and fresh connections. But days before the show, an unexpected challenge hit: their entire booth display went missing in transit. As Eric Trout, VP of Business Development, explained, “The last tracking event showed it was still in New Jersey.” In the logistics world, that’s more than an inconvenience — it’s a real test of a team’s resourcefulness. Rather than panic, Harbor Freight Transport did what logistics professionals do best: they built a solution on the fly. Working with local vendors and their network of carriers, the team managed to reconstruct a new booth setup in time for the conference’s opening day. The quick recovery not only salvaged their presence but also be

Sometimes, the best lessons in health don’t come from textbooks or fitness routines—they come from observing how people live. On this episode of Healing Steps to Wellness, Dr. J and Mei share reflections from their recent journey through Vienna, Budapest, and Prague, uncovering powerful wellness habits hidden in everyday European life. From the moment they landed, one thing stood out—movement wasn’t a chore; it was simply part of life. People walked everywhere. Whether commuting to work, meeting friends, or exploring the city, walking was woven into the daily rhythm. This simple act of consistent motion reminded Dr. J and Mei that the healthiest bodies aren’t built in the gym—they’re maintained by active living. Food was another revelation. In local markets and restaurants, meals were crafted from fresh, seasonal ingredients. Portion sizes were modest, but flavors were rich and satisfying. Instead of rushing through meals, Europeans seemed to savor the experience, turning eating into a moment of connection

Halloween, a comet, and the question of cosmic intelligence — what could go wrong? As the comet 3I/ATLAS races past Earth this October, hosts PHred (Fred McMurray) and Barbara Wainwright gather a panel of scientific thinkers, technologists, and truth-seekers to ask one haunting question: Is something following it? The episode opens with PHred’s classic mix of humor and curiosity: “If this thing swings by Chicago on Halloween, I’ll be out there protecting my grandkids — and maybe the planet.” Barbara laughs, but quickly brings balance, pointing out how humanity’s fascination with the unknown “keeps us curious, creative, and a little scared — and that’s a good thing.” Enter the panel. Deanna Brakefield, an expert in human behavior, grounds the discussion: “Halloween is when imagination meets anxiety. When we can’t explain something, we turn it into a story.” That story, this time, is a fiery rock from the edge of the solar system — and a film reference to Stephen King’s Maximum Overdrive, where machines turn

Mei Liu, Dr Jengyu Lai, Jessie Allison On the latest episode of Healing Step to Wellness with Mei and Dr. J, the spotlight shines on a truly inspiring guest: Jessie Alison. With a background as a registered dietitian and a passion for service, Jessie has built a life centered on community, compassion, and wellness. Her journey illustrates the powerful ways in which science and humanity come together to create lasting impact. During the conversation, Jessie reflects on her early career in clinical nutrition and how her role evolved over the years.

This realization led her toward community involvement—especially in events that promote health education, wellness, and charity. Her dedication to service has touched countless lives, bringing both knowledge and encouragement to people who need it most. One of the central themes of the discussion is lifestyle medicine—the idea that every
