What if the antidote to caregiver burnout isn’t doing more, but is thinking differently?
In this two-part series, Dr. Andre Walton, PhD, a globally recognized thought leader, transformational coach, and expert in creativity, innovation, and burnout recovery, joins host Kama Newbry, RN, NC-BC for a deep dive into the art, science and soul of creative thinking as the key to healing burnout.
A physicist, social psychology wizard, and entrepreneur turned coach, professor, best-selling author and TEDx speaker, Dr. Walton has decades of experience bridging neuroscience, organizational psychology, and human potential. They explore how stress constricts creative thought, why the brain “seizes and freezes,” and how to open the mind’s kaleidoscope of possibility.
Through stories, science, and soulful wisdom, Dr. Andre offers practical ways to retrain your brain, restore your energy, and reignite curiosity, so you can bring creativity and compassion back into caregiving, leadership, and life itself.

It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars?
