Advocating for sin and trying to help people live a life of sin isn't standing for people—it's really standing against them.

Labor Live is your chance to practice navigating labor before you're actually in it. This interactive birth simulation delivers real-life labor scenarios straight to your phone, letting you make decisions, explore your options, and learn what questions to ask your provider along the way. Labor Live starts September 1. Head to https://joinlaborlive.com/ to save your spot! Low amniotic fluid can be one of those pregnancy diagnoses that sends you straight into a Google rabbit hole. So in this episode, HeHe sits down with board-certified OBGYN Dr. Lawren Honken to break down oligohydramnios, what it actually means, how it's diagnosed, and when low fluid may or may not mean it's time to induce. Dr. Lawren explains how providers measure amniotic fluid, including the difference between the single deepest pocket and AFI, and why one measurement may give us a more useful picture than the other. They also dig into what can contribute to low fluid, from dehydration and placental function to hypertension, preeclampsia, fetal growth restriction, ruptured membranes, and other pregnancy complications. And then we get into the big question: Does low amniotic fluid automatically mean you need an induction? Spoiler: it's more nuanced than that. HeHe and Dr. Lawren talk through hydration and repeat ultrasounds, fetal monitoring, the risks associated with truly low fluid, ACOG guidance for isolated oligohydramnios, and what happens when you're trying to decide whether to continue the pregnancy or move toward delivery. They also have a really important conversation about informed consent, trauma-informed care, provider communication, and why a diagnosis shouldn't automatically mean you're rushed into a decision without understanding your options. Because sometimes the most empowering thing your provider can give you isn't another intervention. It's information, context, and the space to make an informed decision about your own body and baby. If you've been told you have low amniotic fluid, you're being monitored for oligohydramnios, or you're trying to understand when an induction is actually medically indicated, this is one you want in your back pocket.

Officer Randy Keith is a military veteran, a 15-year law enforcement officer, and the founder of Present Father, a platform that now reaches hundreds of thousands of dads across the world. He didn't set out to build a movement. He built it from the darkest chapter of his life, a high-conflict divorce that put him through false allegations, an order of protection that nearly cost him his career, CPS interviews of his young children, and the terror of dropping his kids off not knowing if he'd get them back. Randy walks Larry through the night it all began, why he chose 50-50 custody when his attorney said he could have won full custody, and the moment in his car around the corner from his ex-wife's house when he pulled out his phone and started talking, the post that became Present Father. This is a raw conversation about father's rights, staying present against enormous odds, and turning your mess into your message. It's also a heavy one, with an honest look at how many men in these situations reach the edge, and why community can be lifesaving.   Timeline Summary [1:23] – The night his ex-wife went for the gun safe and he called 911 [4:34] – Declining to press charges because he didn't want to jail the mother of his kids [5:48] – Discharged in hours after telling nurses he was abusing his power as an officer [7:14] – Filing a Title 36 mental health petition and getting emergency custody [9:01] – Choosing 50-50 so he could look his kids in the eye someday [10:15] – His attorney saying he was in the driver's seat and could have full custody [12:13] – Served with an order of protection built on false allegations [13:09] – How a federal firearm statute nearly ended his law enforcement career [14:38] – His kids interviewed by CPS at school without his knowledge [15:40] – The mosquito-bite doctor's note that became a bedbugs and abuse allegation [17:25] – Inviting CPS in, and being asked to teach parenting classes at the end [20:49] – Why she really moved four hours away, and the job that lasted two weeks [23:28] – The threats that continue and the fears he carries as a target [26:35] – Finding purpose in the worst season and turning mess into message [30:10] – Why high-conflict divorce is rare, and why so few men talk about it [33:28] – Introducing Randy Keith and the Present Father platform [36:00] – The moment in the car that birthed Present Father [38:24] – The first TikTok post and the flood of men who felt the same [42:30] – From 800 followers to nearly 900,000 across platforms [44:08] – The suicide messages, and how Randy responds personally [46:08] – Sean Pearson and the Dad to Dad peer support platform [47:22] – The father who thanked him for comforting his son in his final moments [48:06] – Larry on losing two men from the Dad Edge community to suicide [50:30] – The therapist's question that reframed suicide for Larry in 2017 [52:22] – Why the pain is a season, not a life sentence [53:39] – Larry on being glad he didn't listen when people said "this too shall pass," and glad he listened just enough [54:08] – The vision for Present Father: a nonprofit providing attorneys to the falsely accused [54:35] – Advocating in D.C. for equal shared parenting as the standard [56:05] – Bankruptcy as a common cost of fighting for your kids [56:34] – What he learned from his first relationship and carried into his new marriage [57:57] – Why one bad experience doesn't mean everyone will treat you the same [59:55] – Where to connect with Randy and the Present Father Show   5 Key Takeaways Presence Beats Perfection — Your kids don't need a perfect father. They need a present one. Even when circumstances are stacked against you, showing up consistently is what matters most. Your Mess Is Your Message — You don't have to be the polished expert to help people. Randy's raw honesty as an everyday guy going through it reaches people precisely because it's real and relatable, not because he has it all figured out. The Pain Is a Season, Not a Sentence — In the darkest moments it feels like it will never end, but it's temporary. Suicide doesn't end the pain, it transfers it to the people you love most, for generations. Reaching out and finding community can be lifesaving. You're Not Alone in This — High-conflict divorce and false allegations are isolating, and shame keeps men silent. Finding even one other person who's been through it turns unbearable isolation into a community and a path forward. One Bad Experience Isn't the Whole World — Surviving a devastating relationship doesn't mean everyone will treat you the same way. With honest due diligence and self-work, there is happiness and partnership on the other side.   Links & Resources Episode page and all links: https://thedadedge.com/1521 Present Father (Randy Keith's website): https://present-father.com  The Present Father Show podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/2PZwSoq6glUSq20CcHB88R Roommates to Soulmates (cohort 3, starts September 16, free preview calls September 8 and 9): https://thedadedge.com/soulmates Dad Edge Day with the Arizona Cardinals (November 15, Cardinals vs Rams, State Farm Stadium): https://thedadedge.com/nfl   If You're Struggling This episode deals openly with suicide.

You've explained your role. You've shown the data. You've pulled out the appropriate and inappropriate duties list. You've advocated. But... nothing changes.So- what are you supposed to do now? Just advocate harder? (Spoiler: Nope.) In this episode, I'm questioning one of the biggest assumptions driving school counselor advocacy.Because there's a big difference between someone not understanding what your job is supposed to be, versus someone understanding your job... but not changing anything. Which means: we may all have been working to solve the wrong problem all along. Before you print that list yet again, listen to this.********Want support with real-world strategies that actually work on your campus?

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Shelli-Ann McKenzie. Purpose of the Interview The interview focuses on advocating for healthcare professionals, addressing the challenges they face, and introducing Shelli-Ann McKenzie’s nonprofit organization, Help for Healthcare Professionals (HCPP). The goal is to highlight burnout, financial struggles, and systemic issues in healthcare while promoting programs that support mental wellness, financial literacy, and career development. Key Takeaways Healthcare Workforce Challenges Nurses and healthcare professionals face high stress, burnout, and long hours, leading to workforce shortages. Many professionals struggle financially—24% live in poverty. Lack of professors in nursing schools limits the number of students entering the profession. Understanding Nursing Roles Nursing includes multiple levels: Registered Nurse (RN): Associate or bachelor’s degree. Advanced Practice Nurses: Master’s level (e.g., Nurse Practitioner, Nurse Educator). Doctorate Level: Doctor of Nursing Practice (DNP) or PhD. Nurse practitioners often function as an extension of physicians, providing quality care. Respect and Recognition Nurses provide more direct care than any other health profession but often lack recognition. Advocacy is key to ensuring nurses can practice at the highest level and improve access to care. Why HCPP Was Founded Born out of COVID-19 crisis and Shelli-Ann’s personal experience with burnout. Mission: Provide mental health referrals, financial assistance (gift cards, gas), and professional development. Programs include: Financial literacy workshops Entrepreneurship training for healthcare professionals Scholarships and internships for aspiring professionals Youth Med Program Targets ages 13–20 to build a healthcare workforce pipeline. Offers hands-on training, CPR certification, exposure to neurosurgeons, and mentorship. Tuition-free and designed to scale nationally. Funding and Community Support HCPP is a nurse-owned nonprofit, funded by federal grants and donations. Annual event: Night of Grand and Gratitude—a charity awards dinner to raise funds for programs. Notable Quotes “No one else was coming to save us—so I created HCPP.” “24% of healthcare professionals live in poverty.” “If we don’t have enough professors, we cap nursing students—it’s cyclical.” “The most rewarding part of nursing is showing up for people in their most vulnerable moments.” “Every dollar we raise fuels education programs like Youth Med—strategic investment in the future of healthcare.” #SHMS #STRAW #BEST Money Making Conversations Master Class with Rushion McDonald is America's premier entrepreneurship, business leadership, financial literacy, and wealth-building podcast featuring successful entrepreneurs, executives, founders, celebrities, and industry experts sharing actionable insights for professional and financial success.

A diagnosis doesn't give you a new brain. But it does turn the lights on, offer validation, and create a gateway to support and that changes everything. Welcome to this week's More Yourself Monday episode. This week I'm sharing a conversation I had as a guest on The Hairy Chin Podcast, hosted by Spencer Moore, a patient advocate with over 30 years of experience navigating complex healthcare systems in the US and Spain. Spencer's podcast is all about practical self-advocacy skills for women, and I loved being interviewed by her because she asked me things I don't always get to explore when I'm in the host seat. We ended up having a really open conversation about what it actually takes to get heard as a woman seeking an ADHD diagnosis, what that diagnosis does and doesn't change, and why so many of us have been quietly shrinking our ambitions when what we actually needed was flexibility, understanding and someone in our corner. In this episode, we cover: How I came to my own ADHD diagnosis at 40 while advocating for my daughter during lockdown Why so many women experience pushback, dismissal or misdiagnosis before reaching an ADHD assessment Practical tools for chronicling your symptoms and preparing for a doctor's appointment when your working memory is under pressure Why a diagnosis is a gateway, not just a label, and how it opens the door to support you didn't know you could ask for What diagnosis changes and what it doesn't, and why awareness is the most powerful tool of all Why so many ADHD women have quietly shrunk their careers and ambitions, and what needs to change in workplaces The nervous system as the foundation of everything: burnout, sustainability and how to start noticing your own triggers Why perfectionism is often a mask, and how understanding ADHD can finally help us let it go The importance of finding trusted resources and building a community when you feel alone with all of this Timestamps: 00:00 - Welcome and introduction to this week's More Yourself episode 01:00 - Introducing The Hairy Chin Podcast and Spencer Moore 03:20 - How Kate's daughter's struggles during lockdown led to both of their diagnoses 08:00 - Advocating for yourself when the healthcare system doesn't lead the way 12:00 - How to prepare for a doctor's appointment when ADHD makes it hard to articulate your history 17:00 - Why a diagnosis matters, and what it actually unlocks 21:00 - What a diagnosis changes and what it doesn't: building scaffolding, not a new brain 27:00 - The expectations women bring to diagnosis, and how to manage them compassionately 32:00 - ADHD women in the workplace: burnout, downsizing and what needs to change 39:00 - The nervous system: capability vs sustainability 47:00 - Walking without your phone and other small nervous system resets 51:00 - Perfectionism, done is better than perfect, and the 2.0 version of yourself 56:00 - Trusted resources, the book and the More Yourself membership Links and Resources: Find my popular ADHD workshops and resources on my website ⁠here⁠.

Have you ever felt the crushing weight of looking at your monthly bank statement and realizing your childcare bill costs more than your housing? It is a staggering reality facing modern families, but why is a system so crucial to our society treated like a personal luxury instead of essential infrastructure? In this episode, I sit down with working mom and leading childcare advocate Paige Connell to pull back the curtain on the skyrocketing costs and systemic failures of American childcare. Paige shares her viral journey of transparency, explains how the math of the current system forces women out of the workforce, and dismantles the oversimplified myths about simply relying on family or grandparents for help. The Viral Truth: Why breaking the taboo of discussing exact childcare costs resonated with millions of families online. The Sneaky Reality of Public School: Why childcare stress doesn't end at kindergarten and the hidden shock of summer camps and school breaks. The Real Economic Hit to Women: How temporary gaps in a career to handle childcare shortages cause permanent, long-term damage to women's salaries and retirement. Dismantling the Grandparent Narrative: Why relying on aging or working family members is a short-sighted and often dismissive answer to a policy problem. Childcare as Infrastructure: Why an economy built on capitalism is failing itself by pulling productive parents out of the workforce. How to Be "Squeaky": Tangible ways parents can advocate for changes within their corporate workplaces and local town levels. A Magic Wand Reform: Paige's three essential national shifts regarding paid leave, subsidized care, and workplace flexibility to completely transform family life.

Send us Fan MailPromotions can feel deeply personal, especially when you are carrying the workload, delivering results, and still watching someone else move up.In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I'm asking the question many mid-career professionals have quietly wondered: “How did they get promoted when I'm doing as much or more?”The answer is rarely “work harder.”At this stage of your career, hard work matters, but it is not always what gets you promoted. Leaders are often evaluating you through an invisible promotion test that rarely gets explained out loud. They are looking for clear evidence that you can operate at the next level, demonstrate measurable business impact, and lead with the kind of influence, visibility, and strategic thinking expected in a bigger role.If your work is solid but your impact is unclear, your career may stall. That is why relying on “my work will speak for itself” can quietly hold you back.In this episode, I break down what decision makers actually need when your name comes up in a promotion conversation. They need examples they can repeat confidently when you are not in the room. They need proof that you are not just doing more work, but creating outcomes that matter to the organization.I also talk about the difference between bragging and self-advocacy. Advocating for yourself is not about arrogance. It is about communicating your value with executive presence, connecting your contributions to business outcomes, and helping your manager understand how to champion you effectively.You'll walk away with three practical strategies for career growth and promotion readiness: tracking measurable results, making your promotion goals explicit in your one-on-ones, and giving your manager the exact talking points they need to advocate for you.I also share four diagnostic questions to help you pressure test whether your supervisor truly understands your impact and can defend your promotion recommendation quickly and clearly.If you feel stuck, unseen, or frustrated because you are doing the work but not getting promoted, this episode will help you understand what may be missing and how to start positioning yourself more strategically.In This Episode, You'll Learn:• Why summertime workloads can amplify resentment at work • What it really means to feel stuck and unseen at mid-career • How leaders evaluate next-level readiness for promotions • Why visibility and memorable impact stories can change career outcomes • The difference between arrogance and business-centered advocacy • Why time in role does not guarantee a promotion • What strategic thinking and influence without title look like • Three ways to advocate for yourself without sounding boastful • Four questions to check whether your supervisor can champion you fastWhy This Matters for Your Mid-Career GrowthAt mid-career, your job is not only to do good work. Your job is to make sure the right people understand the value, impact, and strategic importance of that work.If you are tired of feeling overlooked, passed over, or unsure why your career is not moving forward, this episode will help you stop guessing and start building a stronger case for your next promotion.Listen to this episode and learn how to make your impact more visible, your goals more explicit, and your promotion story easier for others to repeat.Support the showIf this episode resonated with you and you want more support in how you SHOW UP for your career and life, there are two ways we can work together.Learn more about my SHOW UP Leadership Lab, my monthly membership program, at https://www.johnneral.com/showupIf you would like to learn more about how I can help you as your leadership and career coach, visit https://www.johnneral.com/workwithme.Get John's free weekly leadership and career newsletter at https://www.johnneral.com/the-mid-career-gps-newsletterOther ways we can connect:Connect with John on LinkedIn here.Get John's books on Amazon here.  Follow John on Instagram @johnneralcoaching. Subscribe to John's YouTube Channel here.  Please leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts here.This podcast is listed in Feedspot's Top 90 Best Executive Career Podcasts.https://podcast.feedspot.com/executive_career_podcasts/

Chef Christian Gill's story is about far more than restaurants, television, or beating Bobby Flay. It is a story of identity, loss, resilience, and learning how to rebuild when life changes without warning. Raised by a single mother in Lexington, Kentucky, Christian found his creative voice through theater before earning the title of chef through years of hard work in professional kitchens. He created ambitious culinary experiences at the Cincinnati Art Museum, helped build Boomtown Biscuits & Whiskey alongside his best friend and business partner, PJ, and later faced the unimaginable task of leading the restaurant after PJ's sudden passing—just before COVID brought the hospitality industry to a standstill. Christian opens up about grief, therapy, restaurant ownership, and the pressure to keep pushing through when stopping may be the healthier choice. He also shares how six weeks of mentorship under Guy Fieri changed his approach to television, what it took to defeat Bobby Flay with his signature shrimp bánh mì, and why that victory changed the trajectory of his entertainment career. Today, Christian continues to create as a culinary leader with Spiceology while growing The Culinary Gang through consulting, content, collaborations, pop-ups, and one-of-a-kind dining experiences. This is a conversation about becoming yourself, earning your place, and discovering how many times a person can reinvent themselves before finding the next chapter.   BRAND PARTNERS Metro Foodservice Solutions & Trimark USA https://www.metro.com  Commercial-grade storage, transport, and workflow systems trusted across professional kitchens.

What if the greatest obstacle you ever faced became the very thing that inspired thousands of others? In this inspiring episode of the Tick Boot Camp Podcast, Matt Sabatello sits down with Talan Yorn, an 18-year-old American Ninja Warrior competitor, Lyme disease advocate, public speaker, author, and founder of Lyme Ninja. Born with congenital Lyme disease, Talan has never known life without chronic illness. His journey has included years of debilitating symptoms, neurological complications, mold illness, multiple tick-borne co-infections, extensive treatment, and even spending years bedridden. Today, Talan is proving that healing is possible. Through determination, perseverance, and a relentless refusal to give up, he transformed his life from being too sick to attend school into competing on national television as an American Ninja Warrior while using his platform to inspire hope throughout the Lyme community. This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery is rarely linear—but with the right support, persistence, and belief, extraordinary things are possible. Meet Talan Yorn Talan Yorn is an American Ninja Warrior competitor, Lyme disease advocate, author, public speaker, stunt performer, ninja coach, and founder of Lyme Ninja. Diagnosed with congenital Lyme disease at just seven years old after years of unexplained illness, Talan has dedicated his life to raising awareness for Lyme disease while encouraging others facing chronic illness to never lose hope. Learn more at Lyme Ninja. Read his inspiring memoir, Overcome: A Lyme Patient's Journey to American Ninja Warrior. In This Episode Matt and Talan discuss: Growing up with congenital Lyme disease Receiving a childhood Lyme, Babesia, and Bartonella diagnosis after years of unanswered questions Living with PANS, neurological symptoms, and immune dysfunction The impact of mold illness on Lyme recovery IVIG, functional medicine, antibiotics, and long-term treatment Going from bedridden to competing on American Ninja Warrior Becoming "Lyme Ninja" Advocating for Lyme disease awareness nationwide Finding purpose through adversity Growing Up with Congenital Lyme Disease Because Talan contracted Lyme disease from his mother before birth, he never knew what it felt like to be healthy. Throughout his childhood he struggled with fatigue, joint pain, fevers, headaches, insomnia, vomiting, and difficulty walking while doctors repeatedly dismissed his symptoms as "growing pains." Everything changed after his mother was diagnosed by Lyme-literate physician Dr. Steven Harris, leading to Talan's own diagnosis at age seven. Finally having answers allowed his family to begin the long journey toward recovery. Talan reflects on what it was like growing up believing his symptoms were normal simply because he had never experienced life without Lyme disease. Watching other children run, play, and participate in sports while constantly battling pain and exhaustion shaped much of his childhood and fueled his determination to one day overcome the disease. Navigating Complex Lyme Disease Beyond physical symptoms, Talan discusses the profound neurological effects Lyme disease had on his life. Along with Lyme disease and multiple co-infections, he developed PANS (Pediatric Acute-onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome), OCD, anxiety, insomnia, emotional dysregulation, and episodes of overwhelming rage that were later understood to be driven by neuroinflammation. His story offers an important reminder that Lyme disease can affect far more than the joints or muscles. In children especially, behavioral and psychiatric symptoms may be signs of underlying infection rather than isolated mental health conditions. To learn more about pediatric Lyme disease and PANS/PANDAS, listen to Dr. Somer DelSignore. Treatment, Remission, and Mold Illness Over the course of more than a decade, Talan pursued a comprehensive treatment approach that included antibiotics, herbal medicine, functional medicine, IVIG, immune support, nutritional therapies, mold detoxification, and more recently peptide therapy. After years of treatment, he experienced approximately six months of remission and finally enjoyed the active childhood he had always dreamed about. He played competitive baseball, built friendships, and discovered what life felt like without constant symptoms. Unfortunately, that progress came to a sudden halt after repeated exposure to mold-contaminated homes. The mold triggered a severe relapse, leaving Talan bedridden for nearly three years and forcing him to stop attending school. During this difficult period, IVIG became an important part of his recovery after doctors discovered significant immune dysfunction and extremely low white blood cell counts. Combined with removing mold exposure and continuing treatment, Talan slowly began rebuilding his health once again. For more discussions about mold illness and chronic Lyme disease, explore Tick Boot Camp's interview with Dr. Jill Carnahan. From Bedridden to American Ninja Warrior As Talan slowly regained his health, he returned to a dream he had carried since childhood—competing on American Ninja Warrior. Watching the show as a young boy inspired him to believe that ordinary people could overcome extraordinary obstacles. Years later, after spending nearly three years bedridden, he finally began training. Progress was slow. Every workout required careful pacing, and many training sessions were followed by days of recovery. Still, every small improvement represented another step away from illness and toward the life he wanted. After three years of dedicated training and competing in Ninja Warrior competitions around the country, Talan earned a spot on Season 17 of American Ninja Warrior, advancing to the semifinals. More importantly, his appearance introduced millions of viewers to the realities of Lyme disease and showed patients around the world that recovery is possible. Becoming Lyme Ninja As Talan's athletic career grew, so did his passion for advocacy. He created Lyme Ninja to combine his love for Ninja Warrior with his mission of bringing hope to the Lyme community. Through social media, public speaking, coaching, and interviews, he encourages patients to keep fighting, even when recovery feels impossible. Learn more at Lyme Ninja. Read Talan's memoir, Overcome: A Lyme Patient's Journey to American Ninja Warrior, where he shares his remarkable journey in greater depth. Expanding His Advocacy Competing on American Ninja Warrior gave Talan a larger platform, but his mission extends far beyond the obstacle course. Today, he partners with several leading Lyme disease organizations dedicated to advancing research, expanding patient access to care, and increasing public awareness. Talan has worked with the Center for Lyme Action (CLA), advocating before Congress for increased federal funding for Lyme disease research and public health initiatives. Learn more about the Center for Lyme Action: Episode 378: Center for Lyme Action – An Interview with Bonnie Crater Episode 196: The Bionic Woman – An Interview with Meghan Bradshaw Talan is also a grateful recipient of a treatment grant from the LymeLight Foundation, which helped him continue his recovery and athletic journey. Today, he gives back as a LymeLight advocate, encouraging other young patients and families facing similar challenges. Learn more about LymeLight: Episode 324: LymeLight Foundation – An Interview with Phyllis Bedford Western Medicine Fails a Nurse's Family – An Interview with Ashley Marba More recently, Talan has partnered with Project Lyme, which sponsors his advocacy efforts and athletic competitions, and collaborates with Global Lyme Alliance to educate the public and inspire others through speaking engagements, media appearances, and community outreach. Final Thoughts Talan's story is one of extraordinary resilience. Born with congenital Lyme disease, he endured years of debilitating illness, neurological complications, mold exposure, immune dysfunction, and countless setbacks before gradually reclaiming his life. Today, he continues to manage his health while competing as an American Ninja Warrior, coaching young athletes, advocating for Lyme disease awareness, and inspiring patients around the world. His journey reminds us that healing is rarely linear. There will be setbacks, detours, and difficult days. But with perseverance, the right support, and hope, remarkable progress is possible. As Talan says throughout his advocacy work: "Never give up. Never back down. Never stop fighting."

Lenna Rodriguez on Army Service, SkillBridge, and Finding a New Mission In this episode of Oscar Mike Radio, I sit down with Lenna Rodriguez, a retired U.S. Army Chief Warrant Officer 3, to talk about her remarkable journey of military service, transition, and continued advocacy for the veteran community. From Utah to a 20-Year Army Career Lenna shares how she overcame a challenging upbringing in Utah and went on to build a diverse 20-year Army career. Her service included roles in supply, civil affairs, military intelligence, and the U.S. Army Criminal Investigation Division (CID). Her journey demonstrates how military service can create opportunities for growth, leadership, and purpose while preparing service members for challenges they may never have anticipated. Using DoD SkillBridge to Transition from Military Service Eventually, every service member faces a major question: What comes next when you take off the uniform? Lenna and I discuss how she approached that transition and used the Department of Defense SkillBridge program to help bridge the gap between military and civilian life. Through SkillBridge, Lenna was able to prepare for her next chapter and ultimately begin a new career as a talent acquisition strategist. Her experience highlights the importance of preparing for military transition before the final day of service and using the resources available to veterans and transitioning service members. Advocating for Women Veterans Retirement didn’t end Lenna’s commitment to serving others. She shares her work with Final Salute Inc., supporting women veterans experiencing housing crises and helping ensure their service and needs are not overlooked. We also discuss her participation in Miss Veteran America and how the program helps bring greater awareness to the challenges facing women veterans. Lenna’s advocacy demonstrates that taking off the uniform doesn’t mean giving up the mission. Connecting Veterans with Resources and Support We also talk about Lenna’s involvement with America’s Warrior Partnership and efforts to connect veterans with resources, community, and support. Our conversation touches on the critical importance of veteran suicide prevention and reaching veterans before they find themselves facing a crisis alone. Lenna’s story is about much more than a successful 20-year Army career. It’s about finding purpose after military service, continuing to serve, and using your experiences to make a difference in someone else’s life. Thank you, Lenna, for sharing your journey with me and the Oscar Mike Radio audience, and for continuing to be Oscar Mike!

For millions of people, walking into a doctor's office can be incredibly difficult. If you've experienced physical abuse, sexual assault, or medical trauma, the exam room may feel like one of the most vulnerable and triggering places to be. The fear of being harmed, dismissed, misunderstood, or not believed can be powerful enough to keep you from seeking care. But avoiding appointments can lead to missed screenings, undiagnosed conditions, and health problems that worsen over time. We spoke with Bayo Curry-Winchell, MD, MS, nationally recognized health advocate and founder of Clinicians Who Care, about practical, empowering ways to advocate for yourself during medical visits. Learn why you're always allowed to ask questions before an exam, request that your provider explain each step, pause or stop an exam at any time, and seek a second opinion. Plus, discover how preparing a few notes before your appointment can help you become an active partner in your care.This episode includes discussion of medical trauma and sexual assault.

Brain fog, weight gain, mood changes, disrupted sleep, and a fading sense of feeling like yourself can all become part of the perimenopause experience. But why do these changes happen—and why are so many women still struggling to find informed care? In Episode 347 of Money Matters, Christopher Hensley, RICP, CES, speaks with Dr. Susan Hardwick-Smith, a nationally recognized OB-GYN, certified menopause practitioner, author, and founder of Complete Midlife Wellness Center. Dr. Hardwick-Smith explains the hormonal transition from the fertile years through perimenopause and menopause, including how changing estradiol, progesterone, and testosterone levels may affect the brain, sleep, metabolism, muscle, mood, and sexual wellness.

Emily Cook hoped for a low-intervention birth. But after managing high blood pressure throughout her pregnancy, her plans changed when she was diagnosed with preeclampsia late in her third trimester.   In this episode, Emily shares how the EBB Childbirth Class helped her prepare to navigate an unexpected induction, magnesium therapy, and an epidural while still advocating for the birth experience she wanted. She talks about asking questions, requesting a lower-dose epidural so she could remain mobile, advocating for wireless fetal monitoring and hands-and-knees pushing, and finding confidence in making informed decisions even when things didn't go as planned.   Emily also reflects on the emotional realities of postpartum, from recovering after preeclampsia and establishing breastfeeding to navigating grief after the unexpected loss of her grandmother just weeks after giving birth. Her story is a reminder that birth is only one part of the transition to parenthood, and that caring for the birthing parent is just as important as caring for the baby.   (02:04) How Emily Found EBB (04:29) Her Original Birth Plan and Adapting to Preeclampsia (07:36) Advocating for Individualized Care During Labor (09:22) High Blood Pressure, Triage, and Preeclampsia Diagnosis (15:03) Induction Begins (20:08) Magnesium Drip and Feeling "Tethered" During Labor (25:57) Comfort Measures and Movement (29:07) Pushing on Hands and Knees and Meeting Her Baby (35:57) Postpartum Recovery and Continued Monitoring (40:47) Recovering from Preeclampsia (42:06) Grief and Postpartum (49:06) Emily's Advice for Expecting Parents   Resources Learn more about the EBB Childbirth Class: evidencebasedbirth.com/parentclasses/ EBB 391 – Electronic Fetal Monitoring Advocacy Tips with Dr. Jennifer Lincoln, OB/GYN and Author of The Birth Book EBB 349 – An L & D Nurse's Advice for Advocating in the Birth Room with Trish Ware the Labor Nurse Mama Evidence on: Pitocin® During the Third Stage of Labor   For more information about Evidence Based Birth and a crash course on evidence based care, visit www.ebbirth.com.

How many times have you been told, "Your labs are normal," even though you know something doesn't feel right? In this empowering solo episode, Dr. Mariza challenges one of the biggest beliefs women have been conditioned to accept: that being a "good patient" means staying quiet, pushing through symptoms, and trusting a healthcare system that has historically overlooked women's biology. She explores how decades of research gaps, delayed recognition of perimenopause, and outdated medical training have left millions of women feeling dismissed, unheard, and convinced that exhaustion, brain fog, anxiety, poor sleep, weight gain, and hormone changes are simply part of getting older. Dr. Mariza explains why perimenopause is far more than a reproductive transition. It's a neurological, metabolic, cardiovascular, and whole-body transition that deserves proactive care—not years of unnecessary suffering. Most importantly, she shares practical strategies for becoming an active partner in your healthcare, including how to prepare for appointments, ask better questions, understand your symptoms, and advocate for the care you deserve. If you've ever left a doctor's appointment feeling unheard or wondering if it's "all in your head," this episode will remind you that your symptoms matter, your intuition matters, and you deserve answers. IN THIS EPISODE Why women have been conditioned to become "good patients" The hidden impact of research gaps in women's healthcare Why "your labs are normal" isn't always the full story How perimenopause affects the brain, metabolism, heart, and hormones The questions every woman should ask at her medical appointments How to prepare for appointments so you become an active partner in your care The difference between normal lab ranges and optimal health Why you deserve evidence-based care that prioritizes your long-term health QUOTES “You are the CEO of your health.” “Symptoms are not inconveniences to silence. They are signals to understand.” “Normal isn't always the same as optimal.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Stop surviving and start thriving: join the free 5-day challenge beginning July 27, 2026: https://drmariza.com/jumpstart Use code ENERGIZED and get 10% off on your MitoQ Order http://www.mitoq.com/energized%C2%A0 Order my newest book: The Perimenopause Revolution Thriving in Perimenopause Survival Guide Joy & Blokes Lab Testing RELATED EPISODES  761: Finding Your Way Back to Pleasure and Feeling Fully Alive with Gabriella Espinosa 759: Tired, Wired & Inflamed?

Chef Peter Garces didn't open By The Chef Pizza because he needed another job. He built it from the remains of a life that had been completely disrupted. Peter grew up in Brooklyn, where his earliest connection to food came from watching his mother cook. That sense of childhood wonder eventually became a serious culinary pursuit, taking him through culinary school, restaurant kitchens, and some of New York's most respected pizza operations. At Roberta's, he was unexpectedly left alone in front of a thousand-degree oven during a busy lunch rush—and made it through without burning a pie. At Apizza Regionale, the pressure nearly broke him, but it also sharpened his discipline. At Pizza Loves Emily, he saw pizza treated with the same creativity and seriousness as any other culinary craft. Then came Mama's Too. Peter became the primary pizzaiolo during a defining period for the restaurant. The pizzas photographed for its New York Times review were his, and when the review was published, the line wrapped around the block. One night, Peter trusted his instincts, ignored an instruction to limit the display, and filled the window with the full range of pizzas. Jerry Seinfeld walked in, discovered the vodka pie, and kept coming back. Peter finally felt like he belonged. Then his Brooklyn home burned down. The fire took nearly everything and forced him to leave the city that shaped him. When he arrived in Central Florida, his New York résumé did not automatically earn him respect, opportunity, or comparable pay. He had to begin proving himself all over again. With help from his parents, his lifelong friend and business partner Nigel Van Groningen, and the resources of Lakeland's Catapult business incubator, Peter launched a mobile pizza operation and quickly transformed it into a brick-and-mortar restaurant. Today, By The Chef Pizza represents far more than pizza. It carries the discipline Peter learned through martial arts, the knowledge passed down by mentors including Chef JJ Johnson, the experience earned inside demanding New York kitchens, and the belief his father placed in him when Peter needed it most. This episode is about family, fire, craft, resilience, fatherhood, and the difference between opening a restaurant and building a legacy. Key Takeaways Childhood wonder can become lifelong purpose when it is paired with discipline and experience. Mentorship matters, but the opportunity still has to be earned through work. Difficult kitchens can sharpen a chef's skills, even when the culture surrounding that education is flawed. Peter's time at Mama's Too gave him proof that he belonged among serious pizza professionals. Losing his home forced him to rebuild his career and identity in a completely different market. A strong résumé may open doors, but consistency is what earns trust in a new community. By The Chef Pizza was made possible through family support, friendship, Catapult, and Peter's willingness to prove the concept before asking others to believe. Peter sees pizza as both science and art—a blank canvas shaped by dough, sauce, texture, color, and restraint. His father's investment meant more than financial help; it represented belief from the person Peter respected most. The restaurant is only the beginning. Peter's larger goal is to build multiple concepts and create lasting security and opportunity for his family.

In this episode of Talking Sleep, host Dr. Seema Khosla welcomes Dr. Karin Johnson, Professor of Neurology at UMass Chan School of Medicine–Baystate and expert on circadian rhythm policy, to discuss two competing legislative bills addressing permanent time change in the United States. Two bills currently before Congress present starkly different solutions: the Sunshine Protection Act for permanent daylight saving time and the Sunshine for Our Kids Act for permanent standard time. Both campaigns use compelling language that makes their position sound obvious, complicating decisions for policymakers and clinicians alike. Dr. Johnson reviews the AASM's official position on daylight saving time and what research reveals about time change effects—both short-term consequences of bi-annual clock transitions and long-term health impacts of permanent DST, particularly on adolescent mental health and circadian rhythm disruption. She explains what happened during the 1974 experiment with year-round daylight saving time and why that experience remains relevant today. The conversation details both the Sunshine Protection Act and the Sunshine for Our Kids Act, including their legislative progress and specific provisions. Dr. Johnson clarifies which approach sleep medicine clinicians support and provides practical guidance on advocacy. An intriguing discussion explores a proposed compromise to move clocks by 30 minutes and leave them there—why didn't this gain traction? Dr. Johnson also reveals how industry influence shapes policy, discussing candy companies' historical support for daylight saving time and other commercial interests that complicate what should be a health-based decision. Dr. Johnson emphasizes that permanent standard time better aligns with human circadian biology, particularly for adolescents whose naturally delayed circadian rhythms suffer under permanent DST. Whether you're seeking to understand these competing bills, advocate for science-based policy, or interested in how medical evidence influences legislation, this episode provides clarity on a complex issue with direct health implications. Join us for this important conversation about how sleep medicine can influence public health policy.

When Caitlin noticed that her daughter, Kennedy, wasn't meeting developmental milestones, she trusted her instincts—even when others reassured her that everything was fine. As both a former Child Life Specialist and mom of a child with ADNP syndrome, Caitlin shares her family's journey from early concerns and endless appointments to receiving a diagnosis for a condition so rare that only about 500 cases have been identified worldwide.

Imagine being diagnosed with infertility before you even finish middle school. For DaMarra King, this isn't a hypothetical—it has been her reality since age 13. In this episode, we are joined by DaMarra King—a wife, bonus mom, grants manager, and the voice behind the Suddenly Infertile podcast. DaMarra opens up about her lifelong journey to motherhood, which began when her period stopped at 13 and she was diagnosed with Primary Ovarian Insufficiency (POI). Growing up without seeing Black women talking about infertility, she had to unlearn the shame surrounding her diagnosis and choose to speak openly. DaMarra keeps it incredibly real about the highs and lows of trying to conceive. She shares the realities of starting hormone replacement therapy (HRT) late, navigating impatient medical professionals, and often feeling more like a "science experiment" than a patient due to her unique story. She also discusses the heartache of betrayal in her first marriage, the complexities of dating with an infertility diagnosis, and the nuanced, beautiful, yet challenging experience of being a bonus mom while longing for a biological child with her husband. But DaMarra's story is also one of immense faith and hope. She shares the exciting news that she was recently awarded a grant for a full IVF cycle and will be beginning her treatment this July! In this episode, we discuss: Processing an infertility (POI) diagnosis at just 13 years old. Advocating for your body in the medical system and the challenges of HRT. Navigating the dating world, divorce, and finding true love after betrayal. The emotional complexities of bonus motherhood while battling primary infertility. The process of receiving a fertility grant and preparing for IVF. Why DaMarra launched the Suddenly Infertile podcast to be the representation for Black women that she didn't have growing up.

Daniel Rood, author of In the Shadow of the Great House, explains that American founders like Thomas Jefferson lived in a state of "incoherence," advocating for liberty while fearing a genocide of white people if slaves were freed. Early Virginia history shows a decline in freedom, as African-born men like Anthony Johnson initially owned land before legal opportunities were narrowed. Nathaniel Bacon's 1676 rebellion further entrenched racial hierarchy by demanding the expulsion of Native Americans to secure more land for an unending supply of enslaved labor. (11)
