Adversity is inherent within most – if not all – occupational contexts in which the performance of individuals and teams is crucial for organisational effectiveness. With its central focus on what enables people to resist, bounce back, or recover from adverse events that threaten their functioning, viability, or development, it is unsurprising that the concept of resilience has attracted a significant focus over the past 40 years. However, the majority of this past work has focused on resilience among individuals despite the fact that in in most contexts, whether work, sport or education, people typically complete tasks within teams that work interdependently for a specified timeframe to achieve a common and valued outcome or objective.In order to better understand the nature of team resilience, a recent paper co-authored by our guest today – Professor Daniel Gucciardi - seeks to address this gap in the literature.About our guest…Daniel Gucciardi is a Professor in the Curtin School of Allied Health at Curtin University in Western Australia.Daniel's research portfolio sits at the interface of the psychological and behavioural sciences, and utilises basic and applied research paradigms to advance knowledge and practice on the complexities of human performance and health. Daniel's work and interests focus on human performance and health primarily within the context of stress, where he examines concepts like resilience, team dynamics, self-regulation, and behaviour change.You can find out more about Daniel's work via his Google Scholar page: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=ovDUT-EAAAAJ&hl=en&oi=ao Hosted on Acast.

Send us a textWhat happens when a clinical psychologist with ADHD parents two neurodivergent children? A uniquely insightful perspective on navigating family life with different brains. Dr. Claire Milligan opens up about her journey from struggling parent to practice director of Maple Leaf Psychology and Allied Health, sharing the moment when everything changed - when her pediatrician asked, "Which one of you has ADHD?"That question sparked what Claire calls her "kaleidoscope moment" - suddenly her entire life made sense through an ADHD lens. With refreshing honesty, Claire shares both professional wisdom and personal struggles, including a meltdown that happened just hours before our conversation. Her vulnerability reinforces what many parents need to hear: perfection isn't possible, but repair always is.Claire explains the crucial differences between tantrums and meltdowns, offering practical strategies for each. She introduces Internal Family Systems therapy, which views our personalities as different "parts" working together like a symphony when well-coordinated. This approach helps parents develop compassion for themselves, especially after difficult moments.For daily life management, Claire recommends specific tools like Family Wall app for shared calendars and AnyList app for grocery shopping. Her family motto - "If it's not in Family Wall, it isn't happening" - reduces the cognitive load for ADHD brains. She emphasizes the importance of working with your brain's needs rather than against them, whether that means wearing earplugs during sensory overwhelm or giving extra warnings about schedule changes.The greatest hope for neurodivergent families? Seeing children develop self-awareness about their needs, like when Claire's son recently said, "I need more warning." By embracing our unique brain wiring and teaching our children to do the same, we create families where differences aren't just accommodated - they're celebrated.

The “Thriving Kids” announcement has sent ripples of uncertainty through the paediatric Allied Health sector. Let's cut through the noise to discuss what the proposal really means for you as an Allied Health Business Owner. We break down the timeline, the political drivers, and the critical details that are still up in the air. Chantelle Robards (Speech Pathologist and NDIS specialist coach with deep policy and provider-side experience) translates policy into practice: potential delivery models (e.g., commissioning through schools/ECEC, possible Medicare line items), risks to referral streams and revenue, and practical responses—scenario planning, data discipline, partnerships, diversification, and measured advocacy with peaks and local MPs. This is a must-listen for any provider wanting to stay informed, mitigate risks, and strategically position their practice for a thriving future. Topics covered on the proposed Thriving Kids program, NDIS changes, and business strategy: Understanding Thriving Kids: A clear breakdown of what we currently know about the program, the proposed timeline, and the political tensions between the Commonwealth and states that are shaping its development. Risks vs. Opportunities: A frank discussion on the potential threats to your business model (like a shift to block funding) versus the huge opportunities for growth through new partnerships, service diversification, and potential Medicare funding streams. Future-Proofing your business: Actionable steps you can take right now to prepare. We cover the importance of data analysis, scenario planning, effective advocacy, and clear communication with your team and clients to navigate the transition with confidence.

Send us a textThe original roundtable has three segments. Surfing the MASH Tsunami is preempting the third segment, which will be posted next week, to share our co-hosts' reactions to the positivity and energy they felt from a group of empowered SLD advocates. Immediately after the roundtable, Louise suggested to Roger that they record a separate conversation sharing their reactions to what they had just witnessed. They turned the recording equipment on and resumed their conversation.Roger starts by noting that this is the first SurfingMASH episode comprised entirely of patient advocates at a moment when advocates felt empowered and optimistic. (Also, the Fellows were the first advocates to appear on SurfingMASH who are not part of the Advocate KOL community.)For Louise, her overpowering reaction is to the passion, because passion breeds energy and empowerment. She notes that the SLD advocates came from an array of liver-related backgrounds and from HIV, the original sources of truly empowered patients some 30 years ago. Roger shares two thoughts. As he listened to the roundtable, he recalled earlier episodes, some four to five years ago, when it seemed that the physician KOL community was not in sync with the patient advocates' goals and needs. Continuing along this train of thought, he discusses the shift in identity from “MASH patient” to “person living with MASH.” To Roger, the term "MASH patient" suggests a person defined by the disease, whereas the term "patient living with MASH" empowers individual patients to manage the disease and its place in their lives in whatever way they choose. The advocates, he says, choose to learn and speak out confidently. During the roundtable, Elena mentioned Úna Keightly, a Harrison Fellow from Ireland, who spoke from the floor at Paris MASH to request that patients learn about the outcomes of the trials in which they participate, whether the outcome is deemed a success or a failure. For the "MASH patient," a failed trial feels like a personal failure, but for a "person living the MASH," even the failed trial becomes an opportunity to learn about the disease and contribute to a long-term solution. Louise mentions a comment from Harrison Fellow Pam Miller about her cardiologist giving her a potentially hepatotoxic medication without considering Pam's liver status. This reminded both Louise and Roger of a comment former Global Liver Institute President Donna Cryer made years ago to the effect of "it doesn't matter what kills me. If I'm dead, I'm dead." From here, the conversation shifts to other changes in disease description Louise and Roger foresee:Describing the disease itself in more accessible terms, such as "liver stiffness" vs. "fibrosis level."Increasing the groups of attendees at events to include not only patients, but also the APPs who will provide much of the actual patient-level care.Educating those who still mischaracterize MASLD as “a bit of fat” that requires no action. Focusing more attention on post-menopausal women, who Louise notes are most likely to exhibit advanced SLD and cirrhosis. Being more sensitive to issues that drive changes in patients' quality of life, which might be the impact of hepatic encephalopathy, but might also relate to lean mass wasting with incretin agonists. Both foresee a growing “army” of advocates that can drive earlier detection, smarter trial design, and better everyday care. They cite some specific examples from the Fellows in the roundtable and others from their own life experiences.Ultimately, Louise and Roger share their belief that this program is an excellent tribute to Stephen Harrison, who strongly believed in the importance of patient advocates and the messages they convey. 

Our immune systems are under more pressure than ever—from processed diets, environmental toxins, stress, and fast-spreading infections—and the result is faster aging and greater vulnerability to disease. As we grow older, “zombie cells” spread inflammation throughout the body, weakening defenses and accelerating decline. But research shows we're not powerless: the emerging science of immuno-rejuvenation reveals that we can retrain and rebuild our immunity. Through the right foods, lifestyle habits, and even strategic stressors, the body has hidden pathways for repair and renewal—offering clues to how we might slow aging and unlock greater resilience. In this episode, I discuss, along with Dr. Elizabeth Boham and Dr. Roger Seheult, how we can support the immune system by using food, lifestyle, and hormetic stress to reduce illness and restore resilience while slowing aging. Dr. Elizabeth Boham is Board Certified in Family Medicine from Albany Medical School, and she is an Institute for Functional Medicine Certified Practitioner and the Medical Director of The UltraWellness Center. Dr. Boham lectures on a variety of topics, including Women's Health and Breast Cancer Prevention, insulin resistance, heart health, weight control and allergies. She is on the faculty for the Institute for Functional Medicine. Dr. Roger Seheult is currently an Associate Clinical Professor at the University of California, Riverside School of Medicine, and an Assistant Clinical Professor at the School of Medicine and Allied Health at Loma Linda University. Dr. Seheult is quadruple board-certified in Internal Medicine, Pulmonary Diseases, Critical Care Medicine, and Sleep Medicine through the American Board of Internal Medicine. His current practice is in Banning, California where he is a critical care physician, pulmonologist, and sleep physician at Beaver Medical Group.  He was formerly the Director for Intensive Care Services at San Gorgonio Memorial Hospital.  He lectures routinely across the country at conferences and for medical, PA, and RT societies. Dr. Seheult is also the Co-founder of MedCram, an online medical education company that helps healthcare professionals and also lay people understand medical topics clearly.

More than 11,500 allied health workers have voted to strike for 24 hours as part of a mega strike later this month. PSA delegate and mental health social worker Andy Colwell spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

What happens when a fit, ex-military CEO wakes up unable to speak? In this conversation, Cathy Love is joined by Michael Maher, stroke survivor and Founding Director of The Disabled CEO, to unpack the pinnacle moment that changed everything on 22 July 2022 — and the mindset, tactics, and networks that powered his recovery. Michael shares the realities of rehab built for older cohorts, the challenge of an “invisible” disability, and why peer connection with other A-type professionals was pivotal. He also explains how The Disabled CEO now raises awareness, shares practical pathways (from hospital outpatient rehab to insurance wins), and helps workplaces support senior staff returning after stroke. Topics covered on stroke recovery, leadership, advocacy, resilience: Rehab fit (not age) – Why standard models miss younger, high-functioning survivors and how peer groups change outcomes. Invisible disability – Aphasia, service dogs, swearing reflexes, and the energy cost of not being believed. From setback to platform – How The Disabled CEO shares “nuggets” (insurance, referral pathways) and builds C-suite-level support. Redefining leadership – Public speaking after stroke, board roles, fundraising, and using lived experience for systemic change.

Send us a textThis discussion on ways to improve MASH patient management comes from the early July roundtable on "Major Issues of the First Six Months of 2025." As a reminder, that roundtable included the three co-hosts (Louise, Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green) Louise drives this conversation based on two related issues she sees emerging: (i) increasing opportunities for motivated patients to manage their own health and (ii) managing the total patient in an environment where people may be taking incretin agonists as if they are consumer drugs. With increased access to scanning, providers can monitor patients (and patients can self-monitor) more closely. However, some of the issues a provider might find are tricky: patients who undertake what Louise describes as "the sneaky areas patients think are normal, but are probably contributing to disease" due to miseducation or no education on healthy eating and lifestyle, or patients purchasing and using incretin agonists through consumer channels, but possibly at subtherapeutic doses. Vigilance and probing are key here, but health systems will need to train more people on the types of probing that uncover underlying issues and behaviors that patients mistakenly believe to be healthy. The discussion also extends to the role of NITs in diagnosis and patient management, and how providers need to shift the paradigm away from describing a patient by fibrosis stage and instead focus on the amount of fat in the liver and its overall suppleness.

Business law may not be the most glamorous part of running an Allied Health business — but it's one of the most crucial. In this re-run episode, Founding Director of Pidcock Law, Nicholas Pidcock will demystify the legal landscape for Allied Health Business Owners. It's time to explore why proactive legal relationships matter, how to avoid costly mistakes, and what to prioritise in those early years of business. Nicholas shares his wealth of experience across business law, breaking down common pain points and showing owners how to protect their business, their people, and their peace of mind. Topics covered on start-ups, contracts and employment, leases and insurance: Start-ups done right – Proactive legal check-ins, choosing the right entity (sole trader vs company), and building solid foundations early. Contracts & employment – Service agreements that fit your practice (not templates), employees vs contractors, and what to include in employment agreements. Leases & insurance – What you're really signing (directors' guarantees, disclosure statements) and the must-have cover: PI, public liability, business interruption, and personal protection. P.S.

Send us a text00:00:00 - Surf's Up: Season 6 Episode 13 Louise Campbell, Jörn Schattenberg and Roger Green continue their discussion of some major issues from earlier this year, while co-authors Aleksander Krag and Stine Johanset join Roger to discuss their recent publication in The Lancet, titled "Screening for Advanced Liver Disease." 00:04:45 - Major Issues of the First Six Months: Integrated Patient ManagementLouise drives this conversation based on two related issues she sees emerging: (i) increasing opportunities for motivated patients to manage their own health and (ii) managing the total patient in an environment where people may be taking incretin agonists as if they are consumer drugs. With increased access to scanning, providers can monitor patients (and patients can self-monitor) more closely. However, some of the issues a provider might find are tricky: patients who undertake what Louise describes as "the sneaky areas patients think are normal, but are probably contributing to disease" due to miseducation or no education on healthy eating and lifestyle, or patients purchasing and using incretin agonists through consumer channels, but possibly at subtherapeutic doses. Vigilance and probing are key here, but health systems will need to train more people on the types of probing that uncover underlying issues and behaviors that patients mistakenly believe to be healthy. 00:21:02 - Newsmakers: Aleksander Krag and Stine Johansen discuss Screening for Advanced Liver DiseaseLast month, The Lancet posted online an article from Stine Johansen, Fredrik Åberg, Emmanuel Tsochatzis and Aleksander Krag, titled "Screening for Advanced Liver Disease." The article aims to update the Wilson and Jungner criteria, originally developed in 1960, to address modern needs and issues. In this conversation, Professor Krag and Dr. Johansen join Roger Green to discuss their article. There are many nuances and high points to cover in this thoughtful, fairly lengthy conversation, but the key point is that screening a mass population for HCC or cirrhosis has an entirely different set of issues and criteria compared to the screening usually discussed on this podcast, which involves identifying a population at increased risk for MASLD or MASH and screening them. 00:54:42 - Major Issues of the First Six Months: Changes in US Health Policy and Potential for Dynamism in the In-Office Scanning Market Roger drives this conversation, focusing on two very different, yet very important issues: the first is the increasing dynamism of the in-office scanning market, with leader Echosens developing new products and services, while companies like e-Scopics, Sonic Incytes, and Mindray (Hepatus) are introducing new devices with competing profiles. Roger discusses the idea that some scanners keep all data resident in the machine, while others send it immediately to the cloud. Louise suggests that we should welcome any reliable scanning device to the market. Separately, he lists some concerns about how the Trump Administration's focus on cutting services to the poor, coupled with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s distrust of pharmaceuticals and mainstream health research, might limit the number of Americans with access to healthcare and the kinds of care they can access. At the end of this conversation, Roger asks Jörn and Louise what they consider major issues for the next six months.01:11:40 - Business Report and Wrap-Up

Send us a textKey Opinion Leaders Manal Abdelmalek, Naim Alkhouri, Scott Isaacs and Zobair Younossi join Roger Green to discuss the FDA's approval of semaglutide for patients with non-cirrhotic MASH. This conversation centers on the roles that new technologies and an expanded APP population will play in MASLD and MASH management in the US, and concludes by exploring how care might look different 12 months from now, and then in subsequent years. As panelists identify some of the changes they foresee if we are to manage the tsunami of undiagnosed MASLD patients, many comments touch on themes discussed earlier in this episode. A couple are unique. Zobair and Scott discuss the increased role that artificial intelligence and big data analytics will play in identifying high-risk patients and improving clinical pathways. Additionally, Zobair notes that we must remember that the vast majority of MASLD patients will never develop MASH. Manal foresees a more sophisticated approach to selecting pharmacotherapies as prescribers have a broader set of options, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Scott anticipates a "paradigm shift" in which endocrinologists view MASH similarly to how they view retinopathy, neuropathy and retinopathy. Naim suggests that one year will not look tremendously different from today, but that five years from now will be an entirely different picture, which he describes in some detail. 

Send us a textKey Opinion Leaders Manal Abdelmalek, Naim Alkhouri, Scott Isaacs and Zobair Younossi join Roger Green to discuss the FDA's approval of semaglutide for patients with non-cirrhotic MASH. This conversation focuses on how the US healthcare system must adapt to handle the growing number of MASH and MASLD patients who might seek treatment, given likely increases in publicity and education.The conversation starts with a focus on the implications of semaglutide approval for hepatologists. Naim states that many hepatologists are currently uncomfortable managing patients on GLP-1 agonists. This will need to change. Manal points out that providers must check for cirrhosis when testing for MASH and understand how to respond accordingly. An increase in the number of providers having access to in-office scanning devices will facilitate this process.Zobair shifts to a larger point:  even if all related specialists integrate MASH into their practices, the actual patient care demand will require alternative pathways in which the responsibility for patient care will rest with specialist APPs. The number of APPs necessary to handle this load and trained to do so does not currently exist in the US. Increased APP training must, and will, become an area for increased investment and focus.After Naim Alkhouri describes some of the differences between resmetirom and semaglutide in terms of practical treatment decisions, the discussion focuses on why MASLD and MASH will create unique challenges for hepatology practices. Manal views the issue as a matter of time; practices cannot absorb large numbers of new, non-urgent patients. Naim suggests that the real issue is the business question: specialists today do not profit simply from treating patients. Zobair agrees with Naim and notes that the challenge is not unique to hepatology. He expresses the hope that AI and efficient database management will make it easier to target, screen, diagnose and treat patients...given sufficient providers (mostly APPs) to treat them.

Send us a text00:00:00 - Surf's Up, Season 6, Episode 12This week's episode is a special three-part roundtable on the implications of the FDA's recent approval of semaglutide. Naim Alkhouri, Manal Abdelmalek, Scott Isaacs and Zobair Younossi join Roger Green in a discussion that focuses less on specifics of pharmacotherapy and more on how having two drugs available will change MASH management in the US.00:08:45 - Part I: How Will The Semaglutide Approval Affect Patient Treatment and Pharmacotherapy?The group starts by describing the sense of "enthusiasm" and "fulfillment" hepatology drug developers feel to see two drugs approved in the US and many other major changes to come (more drug approvals, FDA acceptance of a path to approval that is not based on liver biopsy). One interesting takeaway is that while the approval of semaglutide will likely change the number of patients treated with MASH pharmacotherapy, the greater impact of this approval will be on public awareness of MASH and the accompanying demand for treatment. In terms of actual drug use, the first major change will come among patients living with obesity but not Type 2 diabetes. Most of these patients previously saw their semaglutide prescriptions rejected for payment by health insurers. However, many of these patients will be living with MASH, and they are likely to see their prescriptions approved. Instead, the largest impact may involve increased education and awareness. Scott pointed out that endocrinologists, who frequently prescribe incretin agonists, will have reason to learn how to diagnose and manage MASH in patients they already treat. Zobair noted that an array of companies, starting with pharmaceutical manufacturers and scanning companies, will dramatically increase investments in prescriber and patient education.00:25:30 - Part II: How the Structure of Medical Practice Is Likely To ChangeNaim states that many hepatologists are currently uncomfortable managing patients on GLP-1 agonists. This will need to change. Manal points out that providers must check for cirrhosis when testing for MASH and understand how to respond accordingly. An increase in the number of providers having access to in-office scanning devices will facilitate this process. Zobair states that even if all related specialists integrate MASH into their practices, the actual patient care demand will require alternative pathways in which the responsibility for patient care will rest with specialist APPs. After Naim Alkhouri describes some of the differences between resmetirom and semaglutide in terms of practical treatment decisions, the discussion focuses on why MASLD and MASH will create unique challenges for hepatology practices. Manal views the issue as a matter of time; practices cannot absorb large numbers of new, non-urgent patients. Naim suggests that the real issue is the business question: specialists today do not profit simply from treating patients. Zobair agrees with Naim and notes that the challenge is not unique to hepatology. He expresses the hope that AI and efficient database management will make it easier to target patients, screen, diagnose and treat them. 00:44:17 - Part III: What Happens Next?In this final section, panelists identify some of the changes they foresee if we are to manage the tsunami of undiagnosed MASLD patients. Many of the comments touch on themes discussed earlier in this episode, but a couple are unique. Zobair states we must remember that the vast majority of MASLD patients will never develop MASH. Manal foresees a more sophisticated approach to selecting pharmacotherapies as prescribers have a broader set of options, each with its own benefits and drawbacks. Scotts anticipates a "paradigm shift" in which providers come to view MASH similarly to how they view diabetic comorbidities.

Allied health professionals are a group of healthcare providers whose role and expertise complement the work of physicians. They include specialists such as physical and occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, nutritionists, and many more. They are just as important as your Movement Disorders Specialists and Neurologists and play a vital role in creating a comprehensive, well-rounded Parkinson's care team that attends to your individual needs and addresses your overall well-being. Many people are familiar with physical and speech therapists, but fewer recognize the valuable benefits of working with an occupational therapist (OT). An OT helps identify the activities that you enjoy and ensures strategies are in place so you can continue doing what matters most. They work with you to adapt your environment, tap into your strengths, and create realistic strategies so you can keep living life on your terms. In this episode, Karyssa Silva, MS, OTR/L, CLT, an occupational therapist at Aldersbridge Physical Therapy & Wellness Outpatient Center in Rhode Island, shares how she helps people with Parkinson's with daily tasks and activities that bring them joy. She works closely with people with PD and their loved ones to address physical and mental challenges, empowering them to stay engaged in the activities they value the most. During the episode, Karyssa mentions that people sometimes walk away from their OT appointment and wonder if they missed something important. Here's a worksheet to help organize your thoughts and make the most of your time during appointments. Follow and rate us on your favorite podcast platform to be notified when there's a new episode!

Send us a textRoger Green talks with LiverRight CEO Brandon Tudor and Chief Medical Officer Alexander Lalos about the launch of LiverRight, America's first virtual hepatology clinic, which has recently begun treating patients.Brandon starts the conversation by telling the story of how he and his partner, Pete Celano, started LiverRight: they saw liver disease as a growing disease in a medical system that was ill-equipped to provide front-line care. When the two men "secret shopped" getting doctor's appointments, they found extremely long waits (3-5 months in examples provided throughout this conversation) for appointments that put stress on the patients and their schedules (days off from work, hours of travel to the clinic). Brandon gave one example in Arizona, where LiverRight could get a hepatologist certified and accepted by insurance months faster than the patient could get an appointment at a local hepatology center. Al amplifies the issue by noting that when the patient in Arizona was scheduled to see a transplant hepatologist, who certainly could treat the patient but was "not really appropriately matched to [the patient's] condition. To Al, who is a transplant hepatologist himself, the virtual approach provides three benefits: convenience, speed and a better match between provider and disease. As Al notes, transplant hepatologists spend their time doing transplants, an important and highly specialized skill. A far broader swath of providers could treat a patient seeking testing for MASLD. Al notes two more benefits he sees with virtual clinics. After online triage during the initial visit, the patient is routed to the level and type of provider best matched to that individual's need for care. The second benefit, which Al says "may sound crazy," is that an online visit, where the provider is looking directly at the computer (and patient) while entering information, feels far more personal than an in-person visit where the provider is looking at the computer monitor instead of the patient. The rest of the discussion covers various advantages that the LiverRight executives believe accrue from virtual care. The most important, in Brandon's words, is that virtual "allows us to move to a preventive world instead of a reactive world." One that Al mentions is that the quality and breadth of knowledge of the virtual providers is higher than he expected and leads to both guidelines that are appropriate to task and special knowledge in key areas such as nutrition.NOTE: Roger Green is a paid advisor to LiverRight

Send us a textThis conversation is the third and final segment of SurfingMASH's July discussion of #SLDThinkTank 2025. In addition to co-hosts Jörn Schattenberg, Louise Campbell and Roger Green, panelists include Dr. Kristina Curtis of Applied Behaviour Change, a UK-based consultancy. Louise begins this conversation by highlighting the low level of correct information (and, frequently, high level of passionately-held misinformation) that adults have about diet and her success in improving a family's behavior by educating parents about how to better help their children. Kristina replies that while knowledge and education are critical, they are not sufficient in themselves. She lists a variety of social or life priority factors that can also drive poor eating, from taking out fast food when too hungry to cook to not wanting to fight with one's children about eating their vegetables to comparing themselves to other, more obese friends or acquaintances.Roger asks about the role politicians can play on these kinds of issues. Jörn observed that politicians at the Think Tank were motivated to act and thought about how to support better behavior. Louise noted that multi-metabolic programs with broad support can help many MASLD patients, even though MASLD is not in the stated goal for the program. Roger and Kristina note that politicians and government budget manager are motivated by short-term solutions with little thought to longer term consequences.In the last part of this conversation, Roger asks the group to describe their reactions leavin the Think Tank in a single word. Louise and Kristina both choose "enlightened." Jörn chooses "inspiring" to describe Louise's comments and "motivating" to describe his own reaction. Listen to the conversation to hear the reasoning behind these word choices.

Together, Cathy and Emma reflect on the early days of Nacre, the changes they've navigated, and what it really means to contribute meaningfully to a business while working from home—with kids underfoot and Canva open.
