      Episode 69: Journalist Rob Polonsky: What Great Interviewers Know… and Leaders Forget

      If you’ve ever wished leadership came with a “real-world settings” menu, this episode is your shortcut. Dr. Cindy sits down with Rob Polonsky—award-winning journalist, storyteller, and the guy who’s interviewed everyone and kept his sanity—to talk about leading with curiosity instead of ego. They dive into why transparency builds trust faster than strategy decks, how to stay human when the pressure gets loud, and the surprising connection between great interviews and great leadership. Rob brings the wisdom; Cindy brings the punchlines. Together, they deliver one of the most refreshing conversations you’ll hear all year.

      • (7:00) Defining what a mentalist is and how it helps to further connect with people.

Dr. Cindy sits down with author, speaker, and coach Dana Lyons—a woman who has lived through enough plot twists for three memoirs and still shows up with grit, grace, and a wicked sense of humor. Together, they unpack what it really takes to move from surviving to thriving, why “broken” isn’t a bad word, and how learning to use your own voice can change everything. It’s raw, bold, and beautifully human.

      • (4:00) Learning about the many hats that Dana Lyons wears daily.
      • (7:00) How Dana pushed through during a vulnerable time while putting her story down on paper.
      • (12:00) We’re not trained to look within ourselves when we need to make changes.
      • (16:00) Dana’s journey through Cancer.
      • (25:00) The difference between surviving and thriving.
      • (35:00)Rapid-fire questions

    • Episode 67: The Silent Stressor in Your Home, Office, and Hotel Room

      Episode 67: The Silent Stressor in Your Home, Office, and Hotel Room
      Jan 16 2026
      Episode 67: The Silent Stressor in Your Home, Office, and Hotel Room What if one of the biggest drivers of fatigue, brain fog, and inflammation isn’t what you eat—but what you breathe? In this eye-opening episode of Positively Altered, Dr. Cindy sits down with Mike Meade, air-quality expert and distributor of Triad Air, to unpack the invisible stressor most of us overlook: indoor air. Mike explains how oxygen levels, VOCs, mold, and everyday chemicals quietly impact metabolism, energy, immunity, and focus. You’ll learn why common air filters fall short, how proactive air purification works, and simple ways to rethink the air you live in—at home, work, and while traveling. In this episode, we cover: (4:00) Taking a deep dive into the air we breathe. (11:00) Learning about off-gassing and how these chemicals can negatively impact our health. (15:00) Learning how to get oxygen into our bodies in the proper way. (20:00) Learning about how effective HEPA filters are and whether they are worth spending money on.(23:00) Helping people detoxify from mold the right way.(27:00) The benefits of Triad-Aer Purification Systems.(30:00) Rapid-fire questions Dr. Cindy’s Socials: https://linktr.ee/drcindyspeaks Dr. Cindy’s Merch Dr. Cindy’s Partners: Professional Health Products: http://www.phpltd.com Stopain Clinical: https://www.stopainclinical.com/ Infinedi: https://infinedi.net/ About Mike Meade: Mike Meade has been a lifelong learner, always eager to explore new ideas and ask fresh questions. He graduated cum laude from the Robbins School of Business at the University of Richmond in 1975. In his twenties, Mike took on a leadership role in Junior Achievement, a nonprofit focused on practical business education for young people. Over three years, he transformed a small organization with 90 participants and one board of directors into one with three boards and over 5,000 active participants. At 30, Mike sought guidance from five of South Florida’s most successful businesspeople, asking how they achieved success. These one-on-one meetings shaped his lifelong philosophy: "To be successful, you must have the ability to see and understand what others might overlook and the courage to act on that knowledge." In the mid-1980s, he collaborated with Rockwell Aviation and the space shuttle program to design a skill-transfer program for over 800 Rockwell employees who were displaced when the shuttle contract was transferred to Lockheed. There was no way to find new jobs based on their last job. This program helped highly specialized workers, like the 3rd inspector of space shuttle tiles, translate their unique skills to new positions despite being perceived as overqualified by job interviewers. Later, Mike owned a baseball cap manufacturing company and attended the first e-retail conference in New York in 1997. With Intel and SAP software, he developed a way for customers to design custom baseball caps online, selecting colors and features from crown to closure. Although ahead of its time, this innovative project laid the groundwork for future e-commerce personalization. Twelve years ago, Mike turned his focus to proactive air purifiers and quickly recognized the importance of understanding indoor versus outdoor air quality. Today, his passion lies in collaborating with healthcare professionals to elevate the conversation around protecting our immune systems by optimizing indoor air quality and achieving the best ion balance.
