Filming this series on Understanding Self and Self Paradigm was such an enlightening experience. This particular reel resonates deeply with me: “There are many people who open the door for us, and we never get to say thank you to them.” Through the lens of filmmaking, I learned that creating meaningful content isn't just about capturing words—it's about pausing, being present, and telling the story of the moment. As we worked on this series, I noticed how these reflections on self-awareness aren’t just lessons for the audience but for the storyteller too. Behind every scene, there were countless moments of gratitude—toward Hammed for his wisdom, the process for its lessons, and the journey itself for reminding me to slow down and appreciate. Here’s a thought: How often do we truly acknowledge the doors that have been opened for us? Maybe today is a good day to start.

There are many people who open the door for us and we never get to say thank you to them. The understanding of self is paying attention to this moment instead of rushing to the next thing.

The power of vulnerability…
You might have seen Nate experience a panic attack earlier this morning while presenting the News Breakfast weather. He's open about his panic attacks — he's even written about them before — and he's doing okay! Thank you for all the supportive messages 😊🌅 As a team, we’ll always have your back, Nate. Always. (Although I hope I didn’t make matters worse with my bear hug off-camera…)

Thanks for this post! it was great to see how Nate handled this, and the support he got from his colleagues. Having had to walk out of presentations I was giving (twice on one occasion) I can relate to how overwhelming it can be. The article he wrote about his experience is good reading if you suffer from panic attacks. https://lnkd.in/gbEdpgZH

How great it is to see the way that Nate and the team handled the situation on live TV. Definitely helps destigmatise the matter and encourages people to be more open about their mental health issues without feeling ashamed 🫂💡 Here’s an article that Nate wrote in 2022 about his first panic attack on air to give more context and to learn more about panic attacks and anxiety from a first-hand experience! 👉🏼https://lnkd.in/gJQC-NPj

Nate is incredibly courageous to share what he is going through and to keep doing what he obviously loves even though he knows he might have panic attacks while being very much in the public eye. As with all mental health issues, panic attacks are not a sign of weakness. Whether we are born with a propensity to them or the circumstances of our life may have caused them, they are not something we have chosen or can control just by being stronger. Many of you who know me personally and followed me on other social media are aware of what I have been through in my own journey. PTSD, depression, and panic attacks have greatly had a huge impact on my life, but more so in the past 14-years. I have worked hard to develop the skills to deal with them more effectively. Therapy, training, support groups, medications, and a service dog have greatly helped me to take back some of what I lost and to live my life a little more fully. But, that doesn’t mean mean I am “cured”. I still have many moments, some moments occur on a daily basis, when these “conditions” rear their ugly head and rob me of my coping mechanisms and parts of my day. As you know, I have recently started a new job and I am rapidly discovering that I have to take time for myself throughout the day to deal with stress and other issues as they arise. If you are like me, do the same. Talk to your supervisors and those you work with to let them know what you may experience and how you will need to deal with it. Ask for reasonable accommodations if need be. Doing so can be difficult and require courage, but it is not near as difficult as what you will go through keeping it bottled up and to yourself.

This is what support looks like. Bravo 👏 - creating physiological safety where anyone can say ‘help’ - stepping in and removing the burden of the task, with no element of judgement - helping others learn from the situation - connecting afterwards and grounding each other while reinforcing ‘we’ve got you’ Is this how it is where you work? What other best practice tips do you employ?

This video needs to be incorporated into workplace mental health training - with openness and compassion, panic attacks don't need to be blown out of proportion or swept under the carpet. ✅ Acknowledge 🫂 Trusted colleague takes over, or reschedule 🩷 Check back in later 🤸 Make changes to reduce future triggers

I often speak about authenticity in the workplace— the ability to show up as our true self, and contribute our unique talents, lived experiences and skills, within the parameters of a professional environment. That’s why I find this viral post of a television weather forecaster having a panic attack live on the air so fascinating. Having worked in television news for decades, I can see how some may argue Nate’s transparency was too personal or unprofessional, yet I see his openness and his colleagues’ compassionate response as a rare and refreshing example of psychological safety at work. You say what? #psychologicalsafety #authenticity #mentalhealth #mentalwellbeing

Brilliant! Being open & transparent about panic attacks, even during Live broadcasting, can be such an eyeopener and help for people with similar issues. As this example so beautifully shows, is that being able to «have» the panic attack, (as opposed to dreeding it and spending lots of energy supressing it), allows it to flow through more naturally/easily. With openness, relevant information, good leaders & colleagues, this is the way to go. Well done, Nate and the team at ABC News. 👍👏
