Swan Dive
Now in its 5th year, with over 100 episodes, Swan Dive features inspiring people who had the clarity and courage to pivot in life and chase their dreams. Hosts and life-long friends, Ron Rothberg and Stu Sheldon, both made massive swan dives from successful careers in media and finance to the unknowns of content creation and fine art. Through failures and successes, both eventually found the soul satisfaction of becoming "who they wanted to be when they grew up." Their joyful wisdom graces each conversation with guests that include: legendary musical artists, National Geographic photographers, social justice warriors, clergy, journalists ... even Africa's first black, female brain surgeon. Each guest opens up about their unique emotional journey, their fear of the unknown, the grind of starting a new path and, hopefully, the world's embrace on the road to their most authentic selves. Vulnerability, laughter and inspiration abound. Hopefully, you'll find comfort and kinship in your own big pivot, whether you've made it yet or not.

Christine Rothberg LCSW - The Psychology of the Swan Dive - Harvard-Trained Psychologist & Trauma Expert
The biggest challenge most of us face before we swan dive is internal, the conflict btw our ingrained belief systems and what we know we must do to find contentment. Harvard-trained psychologist and trauma expert, Christine Rothberg, unpacks this complex notion of "maladaptive behavior" - behavior that prevents you from making adjustments that are in your own best interest. This surprisingly meaty episode looks under the greasy hood of the human pivot ... and helps us get our engines humming for a big change. Plus, as an added bonus, you can hear Stu go to therapy. The psychology of the Swan Dive gets inside your head right now!
