Dr. Moe Anderson's Podcast

America is on fire and many black people, like me, are more angry, bewildered, and depressed all at once than we thought possible. Racism has taken off its deceptive mask in broad daylight. No one can unsee what we have seen. We can't solve systemic problems with the same topical solutions of the past or looking the other way. If you want to become a better ally or simply don't want to trigger your black friend, listen to my raw, uncensored feelings about the tragic death of George Floyd and why starting the dialogue with a discussion of looting is a very bad idea. Please copy the links I've shared for a quick start curriculum to help you understand and advocate from a place of empathy.    (Historical Context to Help Understand Systemic Racism) (Animated Video On Historic Racism, Good for Students) (T.D. Jakes and White Pastors Discuss the Church and Race)   (Privilege Explained By A Black Journalist)   (Race and Public Policy)  (Policing Reforms)   (Bias in the Media Coverage of African-Americans) (The Bi

Gandhi said don't let anyone walk through your mind with dirty shoes. That's what happens when joy stealers slip into your mind through a post or conversation and wreak havoc on your imagination.

Dear World, Baby come back! I think about you every day. Little things bring you to mind. Like today when I was cooking the 207th not very happy meal of my quarantine. I remembered that waiter who knelt by the table to take my order for what has become my last supper (in a restaurant that is). Apparently, he sprayed droplets of saliva all over me, the table, and my food but you had already so thoughtfully put what Dr. Fauci calls anti-bodies and I call for-me bodies in my blood. Those invisible little warriors made it okay for most people to be within six feet of me doing ordinary things like using the letter “P.” Oh, do I miss those nice-to-meet-you Southern hospitality embraces. You did things like that for me all the time for so long I assumed you’d never stop. I thought it was my healthy living getting me through germ warfare. Then, COVID19 came out of nowhere. He doesn’t give a hot doggone about my sit-ups and kale. He doesn’t care how many liters of water I drink. He knows I’m vulnerable because you sen

We are all self-governing with the power to reign in lanes of expertise. Whatever you do, do it with consistent excellence and always believe in yourself. Your value doesn't change because of someone's opinion because opinions change with the wind. Last year, teachers, food servers, and sanitation workers were taken for granted, since COVID-19 they're making headlines as ESSENTIAL workers. They were also important and so are you! #bold #powerful #essential

This Coronavirus time out for the world has given me a lot of time to think. That may be the only sweet in this bittersweet lesson in living. For some reason, I keep having flashbacks to the day Chris Doleman saved my life. If you know anything about 290 pound NFL Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive ends, then yes, I mean THAT Chris Doleman. He passed away from cancer in January of this year. I hadn’t seen that brother in years but when the news broke, I cried like a member of my family had passed. The last time I saw Chris, I was in Atlanta on a book tour and I went by his home to visit. I enjoyed a fun hour or two with his family and then went on my way. We talked about that day and the pool party where he did one of the most heroic things I’ve ever seen on or off a football field.   Let me back up though. You may know me as a motivational speaker, author, blogger, or doctor of dental surgery but in a previous life, I was modeling in fashion shows and hanging out with entertainment stars and professional at

Inner peace is the antidote to chaos. Avoid spiritual bankruptcy by having multiple deposits of joy from multiple sources: family, community, exercise, socializing, work and more. Don't wrap your sense of relevance around only one role. If you have balance in your life, when you lose one thing, you realize you haven't lost everything and you move forward with a sense of purpose. This excerpt is taken from the book "Success Is A Side Effect" by Monica F. Anderson, Now available in print, e-book, and audiobook.

The world seems upside down right now. We have global pandemics, job loss, strained relationships and bills due, Maybe you're having trouble sleeping or the headaches won't go away. Don't ignore the yellow lights on the dashboard of your life. It's time to schedule that nervous breakdown. Here's how to reset on your own terms.

When I was thrown from the gas grill of self-employment into the inferno of big business, I had so much to learn. They had so many acronyms and workarounds my head was spinning. I needed help and I needed help fast. So I called EAP for assistance with my password. Yeah, now I know. That's not exactly what they do. LOL!

The way we take words in our ears and express them through our lips is a process that builds things up or tears them down.  In this excerpt from the #audiobook "Success Is A Side Effect," Dr. mOe explains why we occasionally take a vow of silence and shut up without shutting down! 

Things that never change are not growing. Success comes from growth in every dimension. As we learn more, we have better opinions, make better decisions and enjoy a greater degree of inner peace. Even gossip can be positive when it's used the right way. Information comes before money or power. It's the root of empowerment! Enjoy this excerpt from the audiobook "Success Is A Side Effect" which is also available in prYou int wherever books are sold!

Looking at the world like this is way too much? Feeling off-balance? Nothing is what it seems. In the words of H.E.R., "can you focus"? 

I was in Washington D.C visiting with my mentee who tricked me into going to a club/birthday party. Dancing with a Millennial and a large red cup is not as easy as it looks on tv!

  Alzheimer's disease is more than a news story for me. It's very personal. My paternal grandmother was diagnosed with  in 1980. It changed my life and my perception of aging with options. Alzheimer's is a brain disease that progresses slowly causing problems with memory, language and disorientation. My grandmother successfully hid her mental lapses from us for a while. Then, one day, she almost burned her house down because she forgot about the food frying on her gas burner. Her doctor insisted the family be informed about her condition.  As fate would so decree, the closest living relative was me. I am the only child of an only child. My biological father and grandfather died before I was promoted to middle school.  At the time of my grandmother's diagnosis, I was a teenager living with the parents I still call Mom and Dad. I remember traveling to grandmother's house with my mother. We convened in the kitchen around the square table with the yellow Formica top and ribbed aluminum trim. The room smelled fain

I was looking at my very old ten-speed bicycle and reminiscing about all the good times we’ve had together. That bike has been through three moves and mile upon mile of exploring neighborhood streets. We’ve sloshed through the muddy trails of Zilker Park in Austin and raced ahead of barking dogs in Minneapolis. I’ve been forced to get a few replacement parts like tires and brakes but mostly it’s the same bike. I’m told newer models are lighter, faster, and easier to transport. My friend has a bike from Tokyo with a tall unicycle-type seat and small tires. It folds like an accordion. Rah. I don’t care. My bike is irreplaceable. The seat of my bike is molded comfortably to my shape. The grips on the handlebars fit my fingers like custom gloves. We have history. I know my bike. I know it’s hard to shift gears if the chain is too tight so I let up on my stroke to adjust the tension when I upshift or downshift. When anyone else rides my bike, invariably the chain comes off. That’s when they tell me, “You need a ne

Beyonce is amazing but she's one of a kind. To stand out from the crowd, you must create, not imitate. From hipster to hip hop, the real influencers strive for originality, ingenuity, and a footprint that's unique. Anything less than authenticity is a mistake time can not erase!

New Podcast! Anger management is more for your benefit than the people around you. Frequent displays of anger diminish your power as a leader or team member. Sometimes it's better to be happy than to be "right." And, yes, you can do it all--but you shouldn't. Listen to learn why.

You haven't changed in years is not always a compliment. If you've grown personally and professionally, you've changed. Taking risks means you are willing to fail. Are you willing to fail?
