Retune Your Heart: Finding the Extra's in the Ordinariness of Everyday Life with Attorney, Author, Advocate, Don Blackwell
2026/05/21
Don Blackwell is a trial attorney in Miami, Florida. He is and, for the past 20 years, has been an outspoken advocate on mental health issues within and outside the legal profession, which has made him a sought after speaker, and a regular contributor on webinars and podcasts tackling this increasingly critical subject matter. Don has written and spoken extensively on the need for a heightened degree of civility among lawyers, which he has dubbed “Compassionate Professionalism,” and, more generally, on the need for greater understanding, vulnerability, and empathy in our day-to-day interactions with one another. Don’s daughter, Ashley, courageously fought and won a decade long battle with anorexia, a battle that inspired Don to become a tireless advocate and spokesperson in the eating disorder community. In 2020, Don organized the Legacy of Hope Summit with two dozen of the leading eating disorder experts in the world. A year later that Summit resulted in the publication of the first consensus-based Report and Recommendations on eating disorders in the half-century marked by Karen Carpenter’s death in 1982 – a report that garnered the endorsement of more than 120 eating disorder practitioners and persons with lived experience across the country. Don also is the author of “Dear Ashley ...” - A Father's Reflections and Letters to His Daughter on Life, Love and Hope (2013), and, more recently, of Retune Your Heart – Finding the ‘”Extra” in the Ordinariness of Everyday Life, and its companion journal, The Playbook of Your Childhood Heart (2025). LinkedIn subscribers likely also know Don for his #MondayMusings and #ToDoListFridays.

Dr. DeSarbo, Unfiltered: An Eating Disorder Discussion from a Veteran Clinician about The Things We Don’t Say
2026/03/19
Dr. Jeffrey DeSarbo is a neuropsychiatrist and eating disorder specialist who draws on decades of clinical experience to examine the realities of modern-day eating disorder treatment. His insight on the evolution of ED treatment is derived from working at all levels of care, including hospitalization, residential, PHP, IOP and private practice. He discusses the evolution of treatment professionals, treatment centers, the expansion of virtual care, the insurance and monetary climate, and the increasing pressures placed on patients, families, and clinicians alike. Eating disorder care has changed dramatically over the past decade, but not all change is progress. While not dismissive of progress, Dr. DeSarbo does not shy away from difficult truths. This is an open, thoughtful dialogue grounded in clinical experience, research, and advocacy with an emphasis on placing patients and families at the center of the conversation rather than professional comfort or institutional balance sheets of the current state of eating disorder care, how it has changed over the past decade, where we are today, and where we may be headed with AI and super intelligence. This discussion also examines how clinicians are trained, where education succeeds, and where it falls short. It addresses the growing tension between research, clinical practice, and real-world outcomes, and openly acknowledges the role that financial and structural incentives can play in shaping treatment systems.
