The world is changing more rapidly than we ever thought possible. Technology and lifestyle solutions are our new normal; from the workplace to our social lives, how we monitor our wellbeing to how we raise our children. Whether it's AI, wearable devices, superfoods or biotechnology, there's rarely time for us to catch a breath before the next innovation is unveiled. But are we emotionally, physically and spiritually wired to thrive amidst such rapid change? How Do We Manage? seeks to answer just that. Each week host Stephanie von Bismarck sits down with some of the world’s best thinkers, trailblazers and extraordinary people. They explore how to navigate some of life's complexities and find a balance in this fast-moving world, without feeling overwhelmed and losing sight of what truly matters. From the challenges of digital transformation to personal resilience, from sustainability to innovation. Across the series we'll share practical tools and uncover inspiring ways to help us all keep up - and even thrive - while answering the simple question "How Do We Manage".

    How Do We Manage A Good Mental Health Routine?
    May 18 2026
    For years the conversation around mental health has been framed in a negative way. People often ask you ‘what’s wrong?’ but do they ever ask you ‘what’s right?’ In a new book What’s Going Right: A Powerful New Method for Optimizing Your Mental Health, celebrity-endorsed psychiatrist, renowned author and president of Pacific Premier Group, Dr Paul Conti flips the lens on mental health to arm us with the tools we need on a daily basis to explore ourselves from a positive standpoint. In this episode, Dr Conti teaches Stephanie about something called the ‘generative drive’ - the thing inside all of us that helps us get things done, help others, solve problems and connect to others; and how tapping into that can lead us away from the unhelpful thought processes that make us feel stuck or worried. Please note: the information in this episode is not designed for people who are currently suffering with acute mental illness. If you are struggling with your mental health there is support out there; we have listed some charities below.

  • How Do We Manage Running Out of Water?

    How Do We Manage Running Out of Water?
    May 11 2026
    How many times have you used your water supply today? To brush your teeth? Flush the toilet? Perhaps you gave your apple a quick rinse at breakfast while the kettle was boiling for your coffee. For many of us around the world we take for granted that when we turn a tap on water appears. But what if that basic resource suddenly disappeared? A scenario where we're left with no water is referred to as a 'Day Zero' - it's nearly happened in a few countries already - like South Africa - and here in the UK it's predicted that London could run out of water by 2050. That's just over two decades away. So why aren't we talking about it? Lucy Easthope is an international disaster recovery adviser, and visiting Professor at Manchester Metropolitan. She’s also the author of two books: ‘When The Dust Settles’ and ‘Come What May’. She has vast amounts of experience working in the aftermath of many of the biggest catastrophes of this century, from terrorist attacks to natural disasters. Today she tells Stephanie why running out of water is a very real problem for places that might not think of themselves at risk, how you can be best prepared, and what it means to be someone who has spent a lifetime thinking about the worst case scenario.

  • How Do We Manage Chronic Pain?

    How Do We Manage Chronic Pain?
    May 4 2026
    Pain is something we all experience in some shape or form. However, 19% of adults in Europe and the US live with chronic pain, and almost half say they don’t get proper relief - so what are we getting wrong? To understand the nuances of pain - whether chronic, acute or emotional - and its treatment, this week we speak to Dr Kirsty Bannister, Principal Investigator of the Central Modulation of Pain laboratory at Imperial University in London. She tells Stephanie what is happening in the body and the brain when we feel pain, why our mental health and socio-economic status could affect the levels of pain we feel, and what we still need to understand to better treat people with chronic pain. Host: Stephanie von Bismarck Guest: Dr Kirsty Bannister Producer: Holly Fisher Production Manager: Angela Crago Executive Producer: Ellie Di Martino The series was recorded and edited at Pod Shop studios.
