Hosted by Corey Dion Lewis, the podcast explores the ideas, people, and systems shaping healthier, stronger communities. Each episode features conversations with leaders, entrepreneurs, advocates, public health professionals, elected officials, artists, and everyday changemakers who are building solutions where they live. This isn’t a podcast about problems. It’s about progress. You’ll hear stories about health, economic mobility, housing, education, mental health, entrepreneurship, civic engagement, and the connections that make communities thrive. Whether we’re breaking down policy, highlighting grassroots organizations, or sharing lessons from people doing the work, every conversation is rooted in one question: How do we move the city forward? If you believe healthier communities are built together, you’re in the right place.","last_synced_at":"2026-09-21T18:18:49.549941+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/my-city-talks-6298840"},"episode":{"title":"Asking Better Questions in Hard Times with Vanessa McNeal","slug":"asking-better-questions-in-hard-times-with-vanessa-mcneal","published_at":"2026-07-27T09:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/my-city-talks-6298840/asking-better-questions-in-hard-times-with-vanessa-mcneal","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/my-city-talks-6298840","url":"https://mycitymyhealth.transistor.fm/29","audio_url":"https://2.gum.fm/op3.dev/e/pdcn.co/e/pscrb.fm/rss/p/pdst.fm/e/dts.podtrac.com/redirect.mp3/media.transistor.fm/8649b065/557796e0.mp3","summary":"When the world feels heavy, how do you acknowledge what you are feeling without losing your ability to move forward? Keynote speaker and life coach Vanessa McNeal joins Corey Dion Lewis to discuss burnout, hopelessness, anger, personal responsibility, and the pressure many helpers and community leaders feel to do more.
