EPISODE 17: THE BUZZ with Dr. B - My Brain Had Other Plans… Lessons from a Lifequake

EPISODE 17: THE BUZZ with Dr. B - My Brain Had Other Plans… Lessons from a Lifequake As we wrap up June, I couldn’t let Brain Health Awareness Month pass without taking a moment to recognize a topic that has become deeply personal to me. Before my brain aneurysm, I understood brain health as a physician. After surviving it, I came to understand it as a patient. In this episode, I’m sharing my personal brain health journey - how one unexpected medical crisis changed not only my brain, but also my perspective on health, healing, resilience, and what it truly means to flourish. We’ll talk about why brain health isn’t just about avoiding disease. It’s about the daily choices we make to nourish our minds, care for our bodies, manage stress, stay connected, and advocate for ourselves. Whether you’re recovering from a health challenge, caring for a loved one, or simply becoming more intentional about healthy aging, I hope my story reminds you that there is hope - even when life doesn’t go according to plan. In this episode, you’ll learn: * Why my brain had “other plans” * How surviving a brain aneurysm changed my life * What I now do every day to support my brain health * The connection between movement, nutrition, sleep, stress, boundaries, and healing Remember: Your brain is with you every second of every day. Take care of it… because it takes care of you. Follow. Like. Comment. Share. 🦋 Interested in having Dr. B speak for your group or organization?

Episode 15: IN THE HIVE with Dr. Parul Dua Makkar | Dua Good Job - The Cancer Convo No One is having

Episode 15: IN THE HIVE with Dr. Parul Dua Makkar | Dua Good Job - The Oral Cancer Convo No One is Having What happens when the very disease you’re trained to detect takes someone you love - and that someone is also a doctor? In this powerful episode of IN THE HIVE, Dr. B sits down with Dr. Parul Dua Makkar - general dentist, author, speaker, grief coach, and ADA Wellness Ambassador - for a conversation that is equal parts heartbreaking and deeply inspiring. Dr. Parul lost her brother, Dr. Manu Dua, to oral cancer. He was a dentist himself. And still, this cancer slipped through. Oral cancer is one of the most underdiagnosed cancers in America - often hiding in plain sight, even from trained medical eyes. Dr. Parul turned her grief into a mission: raising awareness, educating patients and practitioners alike, and helping others navigate their own losses through her work as a grief coach and the book her brother started, Life Interrupted, Dr. Dua’s Survival Guide. This is a conversation about loss, resilience, purpose, and what it truly means to do good - Dua Good Job. What You’ll Take Away: * Why oral cancer is so frequently missed - even by dental professionals * How Dr. Parul transformed unimaginable grief into a life-changing mission * The intersection of dentistry, mental health, and whole-person wellness * What it means to be a “healer of healers” - and why our healthcare providers need healing too * The power of turning pain into purpose If you like this content, please follow us and share with those who may benefit from it.

Episode 14: THE BUZZ with DR. B & BEN - Plot Twist: Did YOU Know Movie Night Has Its Own Day?!

Episode 14: THE BUZZ with DR. B & BEN - Plot Twist: Did YOU Know Movie Night Has Its Own Day?! Did You Know Movie Night Has Its Own National Day? We didn’t either - until now! And honestly? We are completely here for it. 🍿 National Movie Night is observed every year on the second Friday in June - falling on June 12, 2026 this year. It was founded in 2022 by Jennifer and Jayda Borget, the mother-daughter duo behind the Family Movie Night Journal, with a beautiful and simple mission: to bring people back to the tradition of watching movies intentionally - together - with the people who matter most. No scrolling. No half-watching. No phones. Just you, your people, and a great story unfolding on the screen. Ways to observe National Movie Night: * Host a movie night at home with family, friends, or your significant other 🎬 * Set up a backyard screen and watch under the stars ✨ * Head to a drive-in theater for a classic experience📽️ * Create a buffet of your all-time favorite movie snacks 🍿 * Have everyone share their personal top 5 movies …you might be surprised what you learn! 🎞️ * Put the phones down and be fully, intentionally present📱   Movies, Moments & Flourishing 🐝 At Flourish With Dr. B, we talk a lot about intentional living …about showing up fully for your life and the people in it. And flourishing isn’t only found in morning routines or milestone moments. Sometimes it’s found in two hours on the couch, side by side with someone you love, letting a great story move you. Movies have a remarkable power to: * Transport us out of stress and into story - giving our minds and bodies a chance to rest and reset * Connect us to the people beside us in a way that everyday life sometimes doesn’t * Awaken emotions we’ve tucked away - giving us permission to laugh, cry, feel, and release * Reflect our deepest values - courage, love, sacrifice, redemption, resilience * Create shared language and memories that become the fabric of a relationship In this episode, Dr. B and Ben model what intentional togetherness actually looks like - sharing the films that have shaped them, moved them, and stayed with them across decades of life, love, and everything in between. That is flourishing. That is Real People. Real Talk. Real Inspo. 🐝🦋 About This Episode 🎬 In this special episode, Dr. B and her husband Ben each reveal their personal Top Movies of All Time — and the stories behind why these films have never left them.

Episode 13: IN THE HIVE with Coach Nick Papadopoulos & The Men's Group

Episode 13: IN THE HIVE with Coach Nick Papadopoulos & The Men's Group In this episode, Ben sits down with Nicholaos "Coach Nick" Papadopoulos, executive coach, men's group facilitator, and co-author of the brand new book, The Men's Group. Nick is the perfect guest to help us launch our June Dads & Grads month here at the Flourish With Dr. B Podcast - because at the heart of every great man is a very important question: who showed up for me, and who am I showing up for? Coach Nick opens up about the challenges men face in today's times, especially when it comes to mental health - a conversation every dad, grad, mentor, and man in your life needs to hear. But let's not get it twisted, this episode is just as important for women as it is for men... in fact, Nick and Ben discuss insights that may be eye-opening for those women trying to understand how and why the men in their lives operate the way they do - and perhaps even how to emotionally connect more deeply with them as well. Nicholaos "Coach Nick" Papadopoulos is an author, speaker, executive coach, and men's group facilitator based in New York City. For over 14 years, he has led men's groups and leadership programs designed to help men disrupt their blind spots, live purposefully, and transform the world around them. He is the co-author of The Men's Group and a board member of the HEART school in Haiti. His men's communities have raised nearly $200,000 for local and international organizations since 2016. Look forward to seeing you for this one In The Hive!
