Dr. Julie Donley: Healthcare, Leadership, and Culture

Sunday, August 3, 2025 • Duration 25:08

Dr. Julie Donley began her career in psychiatric nursing, and over time she became a director of nursing, a coach, and the author of three books including Leading at the Speed of People. (She’s also a new grandmom and rides a motorcycle!)

Healthcare is a big challenge in the U.S. but this conversation is not limited to leadership in healthcare—not by a longshot. No matter what kind of change we are trying to create, how we lead (both ourselves and others) matters to what we are able to accomplish together.

Sydnee Chavis: Dentistry, Disability, and Humanity

Sunday, July 13, 2025 • Duration 27:35

This podcast is in honor of Disability Pride Month, a time to focus on celebrating the achievements of people with disabilities, raise awareness about disability rights, and promote accessibility for all.

Sydnee Chavis is an assistant professor at the University of Maryland School of Dentistry. Growing up, Sydnee watched her parents struggle to find primary care doctors and dentists willing to treat her older sister, Brandi, who was born with a traumatic brain injury and diagnosed with cerebral palsy. Those experiences drove Sydnee to look for ways to improve access to basic care for everyone—regardless of their disability.

Today, Sydnee teaches her students how to treat patients with intellectual and developmental disabilities and other complex medical conditions. Sydnee is on a mission to raise awareness not just for dental students but for the larger society. Too often, people underestimate those with disabilities. Sydnee is shaping the next generation of dental care providers and she’s inviting ALL of us to shift our mindset.

Alicia Scovill: Veteran Advocate

Sunday, June 22, 2025 • Duration 27:33

Updates

Earlier this month, I had a wonderful time visiting the book club of my high school math teacher, Gina Goldstein, in Collegeville, PA. (Wow, math teachers do English stuff too! 😉) This was my first time meeting with a group that had already read the Life of Libby book. I really enjoyed answering questions about Libby’s experiences and our journey of writing the book!

If your book club wants to read Life of Libby, I’d be happy to make a guest appearance. (Just saying.)

My next event is at Hilltop Books in Chestnut Hill (Philadelphia) on Saturday, June 28 at 2 PM. I’ll be joined by an incredible author and historian Christina Larocco with her book Crosshatch: Martha Schofield, the Forgotten Feminist (1839–1916). Here is a brief excerpt from the book summary, “As an abolitionist, a women’s suffragist, and a white teacher of Black students, she spent a lifetime attempting to develop (however imperfectly) an antiracist feminist vision.” Hope to see you there!

Meet Alicia Scovill

Last month before Memorial Day, I had a chance to speak with Alicia Scovill—an Air Force veteran, construction professional, and advocate for veterans who are transitioning to civilian life. Before I met Alicia, I hadn’t given much thought to veterans. My social justice awareness developed in the context of peace activism. When it came to the military, we focused on nuclear disarmament, the financial excesses of military contractors (that could have instead addressed domestic needs), and the injustices perpetrated by military forces around the world.

In Life of Libby, Libby describes how the Bergen County Peace Center aggressively supported young men in finding ways to legally avoid the draft. I had an uncle who served in Vietnam, but my father wasn’t drafted, and my own experiences never brought me into close contact with veterans. I assumed that because many of today’s veterans had enlisted voluntarily, they didn’t need my attention.
