  • #84 The Science and Soul of Speech Communication with Dr. Phil Schneider
    2025/05/22
    What does it mean to keep showing up when life changes your body, your voice, your sense of self? Dr. Phil Schneider has spent a lifetime helping people find their voice. But when he was diagnosed with Parkinson’s, he found himself on the other side of the therapeutic relationship, learning how to live with a tremor, navigate shame, and reclaim agency in a body that no longer behaved the way it used to. In this episode, Uri sits down with his father, mentor, master clinician, and co-founder of Schneider Speech, for one of the most personal and moving conversations on the podcast to date. Together, they explore Phil’s decades of work helping people find their voice, and how his understanding of communication deepened through his own health journey. What helped him move forward wasn’t hiding. It was naming the tremor, talking about it with family, and choosing connection over shame. Opening up was the moment he began reclaiming agency. Resilience didn’t come from isolation. It came from letting people in. This episode is full of warmth, story, and hard-earned wisdom on voice, vulnerability, and what it really means to be present with another human being. In this episode on connection and resilience, you’ll discover: How a nonverbal girl found her voice on stage and transformed Phil’s careerWhat Parkinson’s taught Phil about stuttering, shame, and self-acceptanceWhy communication is about connection, not correctionHow being seen is more healing than being “fixed”The hidden cost of hiding, and the freedom of naming what’s hardHow moments of presence can shape the course of a lifeAnd more invaluable insights TIMESTAMPS 01:10 Meet Dr. Phil Schneider: A Legacy in Communication 03:03 How His Career in Speech Therapy Began 08:54 Learning from a Student: A First Encounter with Stuttering 13:38 The Power of Belief: How Gladys Found Her Voice 17:09 Connecting Through Communication 26:22 Teaching, Mentorship, and Shaping Future Therapists 29:29 Why Emotions Matter in the Therapy Room 30:39 Transformative Voice Therapy 34:35 Shame, Parkinson’s, and the Cost of Hiding 36:54 Openness, Vulnerability, and Reclaiming Agency 48:29 The Heart of Therapy: Growth Through Honest Connection 53:57 What Parents and Young Adults Need to Hear 57:06 Final Thoughts and Reflections ABOUT THE GUEST Phil Schneider, Ed.D.

  • #83 Keep Showing Up With Purpose During Hard Times With Rabbi Jonathan Cohen
    2025/04/24

    The hardest chapters of your life often become the clearest mirror of your values.

    When Rabbi Jonathan Cohen woke up one Shabbat (Saturday) morning unable to move, he had no idea he was facing a life-altering medical emergency. What followed - emergency brain surgery, a cancer diagnosis, and a whirlwind of hospital visits - could have broken his spirit. Instead, it clarified his purpose.

    In this raw and deeply human conversation, Jonathan - affectionately known as "JoCo" - shares how he continues to show up with purpose during hard times, for his family, his community, and himself, even in the midst of fear, fatigue, and the unknown. With humor, wisdom, and an unmistakable warmth, he invites us to rethink what it means to live meaningfully when life turns upside down.

    This isn’t just a story about illness. It’s a story about resilience, presence, and the power of showing up with purpose, even when everything else falls away.

    In this conversation about showing up with purpose during hard times, you’ll hear:

    • The Shabbat (Saturday) morning that changed everything for Jonathan
    • How he stayed grounded in his values through a health crisis and what helps him through the hard times
    • What it meant for him to suddenly be a patient
    • What makes a visit meaningful when someone is seriously ill
    • Caring for others and visiting communities affected by October 7, even as he confronts his own health challenges
    • Jonathan’s reflections on vulnerability, community, and setting boundaries
    • And many more insights

  • #82 From Control to Confidence: Personal Growth Through Self-Expression with Dr. Dennis Szymanski
    2025/04/10
    What if the breakthrough isn’t about fixing your speech but letting go of the pressure to hide it? As a kid, Dennis did everything he could to try and keep everything under control, especially his stutter. Now a PhD engineer and public speaker, he opens up about the real work behind his personal and professional growth: learning to meet himself where he is and speak from a place of presence. In this warm, story-rich episode, Dennis and I explore what personal growth through self-expression really looks like. We talk about overcoming perfectionism in communication, the emotional cost of always trying to “sound right,” and how learning to communicate more authentically changed Dennis’s confidence, career, and relationships. Whether you're a high-achieving professional who struggles with speaking with confidence, or someone navigating the internal tension between how things look on the outside and how they feel on the inside, I invite you to listen to Dennis’ story and remember that communication growth starts with self-compassion. In this conversation on personal growth through self-expression, Dennis shares the personal and professional growth that came from embracing his stutter rather than hiding it. Here's what you'll discover: How perfectionism shaped his early communication and why he’s let it go Why speaking with presence matters more than speaking “right” The connection between mental state, mindfulness, and confident communication How spontaneity became more powerful than fluency A real-life “Billy Madison moment” that unexpectedly shifted his relationship with stuttering What it means to meet yourself where you are and how that changes everything And much more TIMESTAMPS 00:00 – Introduction to TranscendingX 00:39 – Meet Dr. Dennis: the people-person PhD who stutters 01:34 – The personal growth journey of Dennis Szymanski 02:07 – Diving into semiconductors: life as a high-performing engineer 05:13 – Life and career of a semiconductor engineer 07:08 – Overcoming stuttering: childhood stories and mindset shifts 12:28 – How mindfulness and yoga support confident communication 21:37 – Spontaneity vs. fluency: a new paradigm for speaking with confidence 35:48 – The pressure of unscheduled conversations 36:23 – How mental state impacts stuttering and speaking performance 37:11 – Using yoga and mindfulness to improve self-expression 39:32 – Embracing imperfections 40:01 – Meeting yourself where you are 40:48 – Mental resilience and its role in effective communication 41:29 – Saying no without guilt & setting boundaries 41:53 – Navigating social interactions 42:15 – A speech science hack for smoother, more natural speaking 42:31 – Language constraints, adaptability, and confidence in speaking 50:41 – The power of mantras in reframing your communication mindset 55:53 – High school memories and stuttering: a Billy Madison moment 01:03:24 – Advice to a younger self: letting go of perfectionism 01:04:55 – Final reflections ABOUT OUR GUEST Meet Dennis Szymanski, a Long Island native who has lived up and down the East Coast while developing his relationship with stuttering. Now settled in a quiet North Carolina beach town with his partner Sam, their dog Rocky, and turtle Lennie, Dennis fully embraces coastal living. With a PhD in Materials Science and Engineering from NCSU, he works as a Product Engineer for a British semiconductor firm. When not in the lab, Dennis hits the disc golf course, practices yoga, plays trumpet, explores entrepreneurship, and enjoys all things water-related. The beach remains his sanctuary - a place to truly "Be As You Are" (yes, that's a Kenny Chesney reference - he's a country music fan). Dennis began speech therapy in public school, later transitioning to private practice, but that was just the beginning. His journey through stuttering has involved numerous highs and lows that shaped his entire being. Various therapeutic approaches beyond speech therapy have helped him develop a more mindful relationship with his stutter. As an active Toastmaster serving as Treasurer for his Jacksonville, NC club, Dennis continuously pushes beyond his comfort zone while building his speaking toolbox and competing in speech competitions. His philosophy? Growth happens outside your comfort zone - and for those who stutter, joining a public speaking club definitely qualifies. But as Dennis would say: You can do it. You will do it.
