If you've ever gotten the A+, the promotion, the passed board exam... and felt good for maybe two days before sprinting toward the next thing, this episode is for you. This week I'm joined by Dr. Shivana Naidoo, a child and adult psychiatrist I met at a women physicians conference, where her talk hit me so squarely in the heart that I tracked her down afterward and asked her to come on the show. We get into the chase, that hamster wheel so many smart, overachieving women are running without even noticing, because the running has become who we think we are. Shivana shares the moment she realized the system was never going to hand her the credit she was waiting for, and the small, slightly rebellious thing she did about it. About Dr. Shivana Naidoo: Dr. Shivana Naidoo, MD is a double board certified Adult Psychiatrist, and Child-Adolescent Psychiatrist, who aims to help her patients and community to know better, do better and feel better. She is the creator/host of the podcast Thinking It Through with Dr. Naidoo- Child Psychiatrist and the founder of DoBetterMD her telehealth private practice. She greatly enjoys working with female professionals and overachieving teens in her practice. She is currently an Attending at the Bradley REACH Virtual Partial Psychiatric Hospital Program, and is a Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Human Behavior at the Warren Alpert Medical School of Brown University.

Dr. Peter Sorensen joins hosts Dr. Jeffrey Jensen and Dr. Johanna Richey for a wide-ranging conversation about artificial intelligence in podiatric education and practice. Recorded as Sorensen finishes his second year of residency at Ascension St. Vincent in Indianapolis, the episode traces his path from a college ankle fracture into the profession, through his early experiments with ChatGPT in 2022, and into the platform he now builds for students and residents.This episode is sponsored by Bako Diagnostics!The importance of using AI responsibly is Dr. Sorensen's main message. He and the hosts discuss how to let AI save time and sharpen thinking without quietly eroding the skills that make a good clinician and surgeon. Along the way the conversation turns to hallucinations and active learning, the risk of “de-skilling,” AI as a thought partner, and how these tools can lower the steep barrier to entry into organized podiatry.Sorensen started using ChatGPT the week OpenAI released it to the public in November 2022, while he was still in podiatry school. The early versions, he admits, let him down — they couldn't even browse the internet in real time — but he kept a running mental list of things he wished the tools could do. Over the last several months, he says, the capabilities finally caught up to those ideas.The most quoted idea in the episode is also its most countercultural: skepticism isn't a reason to avoid AI — it's the reason to use it. “I always tell people to always doubt the output of AI,” Sorensen says, because hallucinations are real. But that doubt, he argues, turns a passive user into an active learner. If something feels off, you go to the primary source, and modern tools are increasingly good at telling you where their claims came from.The hosts press on the harder question — cognitive offloading, or “de-skilling.” Dr. Richey makes the point that real learning has to be a little hard: “We can't biohack knowledge, but we can make it more accessible.” She and Jensen return to a distinction they've discussed before — that knowledge is becoming a commodity in the palm of our hands, while wisdom is not. Sorensen agrees that the journey matters more than the destination, and that offloading every hard thing would leave the next generation unable to do the work. His answer isn't to abstain; it's to be intentional.Beyond time saved, Sorensen describes the use case he now values most: a thought partner. Claude, he says, is his go-to here — a soundboard that helps him clarify what he actually thinks while keeping the ideas his own. As a senior resident beginning to form his own positions on patient care and professional politics, he finds the tools useful for clearing mental clutter and organizing scattered thoughts into something coherent.He speaks from recent experience. Through the APMA Emerging Leaders Program, he traveled to Washington, D.C., to advocate on Capitol Hill, and came away struck by the tireless, often-underappreciated work that actually moves the needle — including the efforts of APMA staff. Attending the House of Delegates as a young physician observer was, he says, one of his most eye-opening experiences, and also where he started using Claude in earnest, to make sense of what he was watching.About Dr. Peter SorensenPeter Sorensen, DPM, MHA, is a podiatric surgery resident at Ascension St. Vincent in Indianapolis. He earned his DPM and MHA from Des Moines University (graduating in 2024) and holds a BA in Spanish from Southern Utah University; he previously worked as a medical Spanish interpreter. He is a member of the APMA Emerging Leaders Program and served on the APMA Re-imagining Education Task Force. He is the publisher of The Guidewire, where he writes about artificial intelligence in podiatric medicine and works to lower the barrier to entry into the profession for students and residents.

Controversial Christianity The church is in a series called Controversial Christianity, where the goal is to: Talk about difficult or uncomfortable topics Bring clarity, conviction, compassion, and Christ into the conversation Model how to disagree while staying united This year's topics are a little lighter—but still meaningful. This Week's Topic: Mega Churches This week's conversation focuses on: What it means to attend a megachurch A “megachurch” is simply a church with 2,000+ people attending regularly and Northeast is one of them. The Challenges of Mega Churches Mega churches often carry negative stereotypes, such as: Celebrity pastor culture Entertainment over worship Financial greed and excuses Shallow theology and teaching Shallow relationships and community Complex bureaucracy and leadership Consumer mindset in attendees While these aren't always true, they exist because of real examples in church history and culture. The Goal: Defy the Stereotypes The goal is not to be a “big church” for the sake of size. Instead: We want to be a healthy church, no matter the size. Healthy churches can be: Big or small Simple or complex Size doesn't determine health, people do. Big Church vs. Small Church People coming from smaller churches may notice differences: More structured systems Larger worship environments Less direct access to certain leaders But these differences are not necessarily problems; they're just different cultures. The Biggest Issue: Consumer Christianity The biggest risk in a megachurch is this: It's easy to just show up, consume, and not engage. With so many people, it's easy to: Stay anonymous Avoid serving Only attend occasionally But that's not what the church is meant to be. The Real Challenge The message shifts from this: “Just attend church” To: “Help build a healthy church” That means: Showing up consistently Getting involved in community Serving others Taking ownership of your church family Next Steps Everyone is encouraged to take a step deeper: Alpha – explore Christianity Basics – learn about the church Groups – build community Serving – get involved Mentorship – grow spiritually Final Takeaway The church is not a product to consume. It's a family to belong to and a mission to live out. And ultimately: Our impact as a church depends on how much each of us leans in.
Jesus set the Church as a force in the world that will manifest His Kingdom. As we get closer to Jesus's eventual return, we talk about six reasons why it is important to be a part of a local church.

In this Pride month-themed episode, Lee, Daniel, Gary Hill, and the returning Lady Leah (!), talk about the tragic Chinese epic "Farewell My Concubine" (1993), directed by Kaige Chen. The hosts try their best to talk about the themes of abuse, sex, and gender (and a bit of regular politics) revolving around a half-a-century-spanning historical drama from a culture they have very little knowledge of. The conversation felt fruitful enough to share, as much of the themes present, even if presented in a context they don't fully understand, are still quite universal. The hosts also talk about what they've watched as of late (and in some cases read!?!). We invite you to come train for our version of the Peking Opera, now with 100% less abuse!

In this episode I am once again joined by Lorin Roche PhD, meditation teacher and author of “The Radiance Sutras”. I first met Lorin at the Summit at Sea conference in 2015 where we were both teaching. We attended each others' workshops and immediately hit it off. In those days, we both taught on the California conference circuit and were often booked to teach at the same gatherings. Over the years we spent many weeks enjoying extended conversations, raucous dinners, and long evenings of music and poetry. In short, we became true friends. It was a desire to share the rich conversations I was having with friends like Lorin that contributed to my decision to start the Guru Viking Podcast. And so, naturally, I asked Lorin to be my first interview subject. He went on to become one of my most popular, recurring guests. On the 18th of April 2026, Lorin died. What follows is our last interview and conversation, recorded a few months before his passing. The episode covers many of Lorin's most characteristic teaching themes and I have also included some of the conversation we had before and after the main episode content. There are many poignant and amusing stories from the years of my friendship with Lorin and there is a lot worth saying about his approach to meditation. One day, I might record an episode dedicated to those themes. For now I will say that it is obvious to all that Lorin was a vivacious man - the essence of his approach to teaching meditation was an encouragement to wholeheartedly embrace life. But I can also report that behind the scenes and off the stage Lorin was a generous man, irreverent, funny, and very kind. … https://www.guruviking.com/podcast/ep365-the-last-interview-lorin-roche-phd Also available on Youtube, iTunes, & Spotify – search ‘Guru Viking Podcast'. … Topics include: 00:00 - Intro 01:5 - Boats, geese, and hummingbirds 07:05 - Meditating with the flow of nature 08:14 - Being human is like being president of Earth 11:35 - The miracle of attention 13:51 - Teaching was easier in the 70s 15:15 - Agencylessness is a dumb idea 16:38 - Human reaction time 17:52 - Attending to the inner life 18:44 - Evil meditation teaching 19:58 - Misunderstandings about Patañjali's Yoga Sūtras 22:55 - Taming the body 26:33 - The genius of yoga 28:01 - Pros and cons of stopping the mind 28:57 - Where meditation went wrong 35:47 - Tuning the instrument 38:56 - Limitations of the “tuning” metaphor 43:24 - Monastic ideas sabotage lay people 45:41 - Religion vs meditation 50:56 - Is Loren's approach self-indulgent? 56:18 - Peak experiences and enlightenment 59:20 - Loren's drug experiences 01:02:20 - LA Yoga community's enthusiasm for drugs 01:04:50 - Loren asks about Steve's meditation … Previous episodes with Lorin here: - https://www.guruviking.com/search?q=lorin To find out more about Lorin visit: - www.lorinroche.com - www.radiancesutras.com - www.meditationtt.com For more interviews, videos, and more visit: - https://www.guruviking.com/ Music 'Deva Dasi' by Steve James

When Lorenzo Edwards first began practicing yoga, he used it as it was a way to escape the stress of his job. A regular practice turned into attending classes. Attending classes turned into becoming a certified instructor. Then he noticed who was typically in the classes.And, more importantly, who wasn't.“Prior to making a concerted effort to have practice with Black men, I seldom saw them — or us — in that space,” Edwards said. “If you can see yourself in the instructor, see yourself in the class, hear things that bring relief or the vibrations you need through music from your culture, it can help.”On this episode, guest host Rachel Tarby joins He Do Yoga, the weekly class Edwards created for Black men of all ages to experience yoga at no cost, with a focus on connection and healing.#####Guest host: Rachel TarbyUniquely Milwaukee is made possible by the generous support of our members.
Cultural critic Chuck Klosterman — author of But What If We're Wrong?, The Nineties, and now a new book simply titled Football — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a fascinating, genre-bending conversation that's part memoir, part sports analysis, and part thought experiment about how a singular American obsession will be remembered centuries from now. Klosterman frames the book as a "living obituary" for football, working from his signature premise that over enough time, almost everything fades until a single simplified narrative is all that survives — and that football, despite being the one true common denominator of the modern American experience (it overtook baseball as the most popular sport by the 1970s, even though people at the time didn't realize it), will almost certainly not remain central to the culture a few decades from now. He and Chuck explore how perception dramatically changes over time , how the internet has fundamentally altered our relationship with time itself, and why arguments against the internet today sound exactly like the arguments people once made against television. Klosterman, who only half-jokingly says his "beat" these days is simply reality, argues that we now consume social media on the working assumption that what we're seeing isn't real — a profound shift in how humans relate to information. The conversation winds through some genuinely original territory about why football works the way it does and what its eventual decline might look like. Klosterman argues football is a fundamentally cerebral sport with intense but widely dispersed moments of action (the Wall Street Journal famously found only 11 minutes of actual action in a three-hour broadcast), that its sheer complexity and total absence of free-flowing movement is exactly why it's never exported well, and that it nearly became a literal embodiment of American exceptionalism. He and Todd dig into whether the NFL can over-expand into a 12-month product, why football is the one American sport that could plausibly survive on pay-per-view, and how the league walks a razor's edge between the maximum physicality fans crave and the safety changes that are slowly, quietly trying to remove hitting from the game — even as the ever-present risk of injury is precisely what raises the stakes and makes it so engaging. There's a wonderful tangent on COVID and 9/11 as the two great timeline-dividing events of the modern era (one slow and shared globally, one sudden and strange), including Chuck's own reflection that the pandemic was unexpectedly a bonding experience with his kids. Klosterman closes by previewing his next book — an alternate history of rock and roll — and delivering a characteristically provocative argument that rock effectively ended as a meaningful art form in the 1990s, that having access to all the music ever recorded has paradoxically led people to listen to the same 600 songs, and that he genuinely regrets ever getting rid of his CD collection, because the day may come when streaming services are broken up and no longer contain all the music in the world.

Chuck Todd opens with the grim news that the Iran conflict is hot again as both sides resume exchanging strikes — and his blunt assessment is that nothing has actually changed since Trump was begging for a deal a month ago. He argues Trump has mismanaged this war from the very beginning with no clear goal, that he and Israel started it with vastly different objectives, and that he stubbornly refuses to accept a deal that looks like the one Obama got even though that's the only realistic off-ramp available. The brutal truth, Chuck says, is that Trump can't airstrike his way to victory, and if he was never willing to commit ground troops, he never should have started the war in the first place — the Iranians now hold more leverage than the United States, and it's entirely Trump's fault that they do. He delivers one of his sharpest character indictments yet, arguing Trump "failed upwards" to the most powerful job on earth and is now half-assing his way through the presidency the same way he half-assed his way through life, while Vance and Rubio scramble to avoid any ownership of the war.With inflation rising for a third straight month, Chuck sees no path for any of this to improve before the midterms. But the heart of the episode is a deep, genuinely illuminating dive into a new Pew survey that Chuck calls possibly the best available tool for understanding the actual American electorate — one that shatters the illusion created by social media. The data reveals nine distinct political archetypes (three on the left, three in the middle, three on the right), that the ideological extremes make up only about 15% of the country and are the whitest segments, and that the loud, combative bases dominating online discourse aren't remotely close to a majority. The middle, he notes, is a full 38% of the electorate, with the center-left as the single largest group; the Reagan Republican coalition is measurably gone, reduced to just 11%; the civil war inside the American left is already underway with skeptical progressives who'll never vote Republican but may simply not vote at all; and the MAGA-religious right remains a fortress of reliable voters, with erosion showing up in exactly one place — younger voters. His takeaway is the one that should reshape how both parties think: the persuadable middle is repulsed most by the far left and far right, the party bases are precisely what cause the parties to struggle electorally, and the opportunity for independents has genuinely never been better — because what happens online simply is not reflective of who actually shows up to vote. Then, cultural critic Chuck Klosterman — author of But What If We're Wrong?, The Nineties, and now a new book simply titled Football — joins the Chuck Toddcast for a fascinating, genre-bending conversation that's part memoir, part sports analysis, and part thought experiment about how a singular American obsession will be remembered centuries from now.

Donald Trump was roundly booed in New York City outside of Madison Square Garden on his way to attend Game 3 of the NBA Finals between the New York Knicks and the San Antonio Spurs. Trump was booed again once he was spotted inside the venue. Rachel Maddow shares footage of the booing and remarks on the way Trump has arranged to benefit financially from his other sports preoccupation, a UFC fight on the White House grounds. Rachel Maddow outlines Donald Trump's desperation tactics to delegitimize elections in California, trying to convince his followers that a grand conspiracy is responsible for his electoral failures in that state and not the clear, obvious explanation that California just has more Democratic voters. Jacob Soboroff, host of Connect on MS NOW, reports live from the L.A. County Ballot Processing Center to show exactly how the California voting process works, contrary to the misinformation of Donald Trump and his supporting media. Rachel Maddow lists example after example of people or organizations giving large sums of money to Donald Trump's interests and subsequently receiving some favorable treatment from Trump. The UFC fight on the White House lawn stands out as one of the more egregious examples, with Trump essentially giving himself a birthday present from the American people. Brendan Ballou, founder of the Public Integrity Project, talks with Rachel about his lawsuit to stop Trump's UFC event. Rep. Joyce Beatty talks with Rachel Maddow about her role in defending the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts from Donald Trump's destructive force. Want more of Rachel?

(Hunter Morrison / KRBD) Wildlife across southern Southeast Alaska is emerging from wintertime hibernation, but in Metlakatla on Annette Island, animals are not the only things waking up. Canoes are hitting the water again, marking this year's start of a Tsimshian tradition that is tied to the village's history. KRBD's Hunter Morrison tagged along for a recent canoe journey, and has this story. About a dozen people are holding cedar boughs in a driveway on the outskirts of town. Seated atop a nearby trailer is a long, white canoe. David Nelson grabs his drum and begins singing. As the drumbeats echo through the subdivision, the mixed-aged crowd cleanses and awakens the vessel by brushing the cedar along its sides. The song's lyrics honor the canoe and welcome its paddlers. It has not been performed in three years. “We believe they’re like a living, breathing thing, so we treat it as such. We say ‘hello' to it, and when we put it away, we tell you ‘it was good to be you,' and we thank it for doing everything.” The ceremony marks the start of the canoe's spring and summertime journey. The 40-foot long Nahaaygm Lagyigyedm (Spirit of Our Ancestors) has navigated Metlakatla's waters and traveled to neighboring islands since 2013. Johon Atkinson, president of the nonprofit Liwaayda, says the organization's goal is to share Tsimshian culture and bring Metlakatla back to its canoeing roots, which dates back over 130 years. “So the whole reason why we got this canoe was to get our people in Metlakatla out on water.” While today's canoes are often used to educate people about Tsimshian culture, Atkinson says they are still important to traditional practices. Later this month, the Spirit of Our Ancestors will be used in Metlakatla to harvest seaweed from neighboring islands. “It’s that feeling of we’re going to be on the ocean, on the highways of our ancestors. And just that feeling is so comforting. I feel complete when it is canoe season.” Minutes after its blessing, the canoe is towed to a boat launch, from which they will paddle to nearby One Tree Island. Johon Atkinson, right, and family members cleanse the Spirit of Our Ancestors with cedar boughs before the canoe's first journey of the season. (Photo: Hunter Morrison / KRBD) Atkinson, who is joined by his son, niece, and nephew, hopes fun opportunities like these can help keep Tsimshian traditions alive for the next generation. “Having them experience this now is something that many of us adults have not experienced at their age. So the fact that they are here, learning and leading – there’s just no words on how amazing that is.” Atkinson says folks from all over the country visit Metlakatla each summer to experience the village's canoe journeys firsthand. (Courtesy Robert Nick family) Robert Nick was a man of the Southwest Alaska tundra – and much more. He died last month at the age of 84. His memorial service was at St. Innocent Russian Orthodox Cathedral in Anchorage last week where, as Rhonda McBride from our flagship station KNBA tells us, he was remembered for a lifetime of public service. Robert Nick's Russian Orthodox service was fitting for a man who loved the harmonies of the Slavonic choir. He was known to pass out recordings of his favorite hymns to friends and fellow singers. For Andrew Guy (Yup'ik), president of the Calista Native Corporation, Nick represents the end of an era. “He's part of that group that came from having no electricity, no outboard, to where we are today.” (Courtesy Robert Nick family) Nick helped bring electricity to villages throughout Southwest Alaska through his work with the Alaska Village Electric Cooperative, an organization he helped found. He also ran a store in Nunapitchuk, a village near Bethel, Alaska where he grew up. Richard Jung (Yup'ik), who owned Jung's Trading Post, in the neighboring village of Napakiak, said Nick's leadership grew from the values he was raised in. “One of the things you're taught is to help people. You try to do what you can for your village and your region. And he was one of those guys that did that./ He knew that he could get things done and was one of the ones that knew he had to do it. He was just a fine person.” Robert Nick was very proud that he was the first in his family to receive a Western education and graduate from high school. That achievement became a foundation for decades of service on boards and commissions that focused on a wide range of causes: health, education, housing, economic development, job training, and protecting the Yup'ik subsistence way of life. (Courtesy Robert Nick family) His niece Karen Cooke Phillips (Yup'ik) says he was tireless. “Attending meetings, after meetings, for days and hours, and for continued years.” And yet, Phillips says, his home was filled with love, a reflection of his early life. Nick was the eldest of nine children. After his father died, he took over his father's store and helped to provide for his younger brothers and sisters – an experience Phillips says shaped his lifelong role as a father figure – not just within his family but across the region. “He has been in those arenas, leading in lots of different organizations and providing a voice for people from our region, or the lifestyle of the people of our region.” Nick had two twin passions, housing and education. He dedicated many years of his life to improving housing conditions in rural Alaska. Eventually, he became a national advocate for federal Indian housing programs and brought attention to the Third World conditions in Alaska villages. He also served on the Lower Kuskokwim School Board for two decades and became its longtime chairman. Steve O'Brien, a former school principal, remembers giving Nick a copy of Robert Rules of order to help him. “And he laughed, and he said, ‘Oh, I already have that book.' And he reached behind from the bookshelf, and he pulled down this very worn and earmarked copy of Robert's Rules with sticky pages and stuff. He was an expert about this stuff.” O'Brien says it is no surprise that Robert Nick was eventually asked to chair almost every board he served on. In 2014, Nick received an honorary Doctorate of Laws degree from the University of Alaska Fairbanks. (Courtesy Robert Nick family) Get National Native News delivered to your inbox daily.

Dr. Lisa Heerema came from a Reformed Christian background, and became interested in the Catholic Church through history, liturgy, and the sacraments, but had many questions, including about the saints, and her background in Calvinism was a significant hurdle in understanding the Catholic perspective. Attending a Coming Home Network retreat was key in helping her feel more at peace about her journey to the Catholic Faith. She was received into the Catholic Church at the Easter Vigil in 2023.

Hakeem Jeffries showed up in an ice cream suit to mock Trump for going to the Knicks game — claiming Trump doesn't know Karl Rove from Karl-Anthony Towns — right before NBA commissioner Adam Silver confirmed Trump's been a genuine, decades-long Knicks fan. Stephen A. Smith threatened to blame Trump for a Knicks loss and got caught searching his own name on X, then Trump landed at 2AM and said Smith doesn't have the IQ to run for president.

In this special episode of MSP 1337, CJ is joined by Brooke Lee (Rev.io) and Stacey Whitley (GTIA) to unpack how ITSPs can translate industry engagement into measurable outcomes. Attending events is easy, but most organizations struggle to turn what they learn into real operational outcomes. Brooke and Stacey share how their collaborative event recap initiative is helping bridge that gap by distilling key takeaways from major channel events into practical, accessible insights. More importantly, they highlight how GTIA serves as the connective tissue that sustains momentum beyond the event, enabling peer accountability, ongoing education, and real community engagement.The discussion reinforces the business value of GTIA membership beyond networking. From structured onboarding and mentorship to role-based education and vendor-neutral collaboration, GTIA provides a scalable approach to developing teams, reducing isolation, and accelerating organizational maturity. Brooke's perspective on embedding GTIA into Rev.io's onboarding model illustrates how intentional engagement can drive adoption and long-term ROI. Cybersecurity is a central theme, with a focus on GTIA's Cybersecurity Resource Hub, ISAO, and the GTIA Cybersecurity Trustmark Best Practices. Stacey emphasizes the importance of community-driven intelligence and real-time peer support, particularly during incidents, capabilities that many ITSPs struggle to access independently. The episode closes with a candid look at how authentic, experience-driven content, rather than polished production, builds trust, strengthens relationships, and lowers barriers to participation across the channel.Bottom line: GTIA is more than membership, it is more than a community, and as an association, it is greater than the sum of its parts. GTIA is a force multiplier for learning, accountability, and cybersecurity maturity when actively leveraged.

What happens when a former child actor, ERISA lawyer, and Fortune 500 in-house counsel walks into a coffee shop?In this case, she orders a lavender chai latte* and starts reimagining what a legal career can look like. *served best in an actual coffee mug, preferably with fancy foam art and enjoyed while sitting in a coffee shopIn this episode of Counsel Brew, we sit down with Misty Leon, who at the time of recording was serving as in-house counsel at Texas Instruments. Misty's career has taken her from private practice to the corporate legal department to founder and principal of the freshly launched Practical Counsel Advisors, with a few unexpected stops along the way, including a bread commercial, starring as Dorothy in The Wizard of Oz, and surviving meetings that involved more conversations with a dog named Mr. Barkey than actual legal work.Because every legal career deserves at least one story that makes everyone ask, "Wait...what?"We explore Misty's journey from aspiring child actor and ruby-slipper-wearing Dorothy to respected legal leader and in-house counsel. We talk about intentionally choosing a niche legal practice, navigating major career pivots, and the coaching and self-reflection that helped her discover what she wanted next. Misty shares insights on building meaningful professional relationships, overcoming the hesitation that often keeps talented people from pursuing new opportunities, and embracing growth even when it feels uncomfortable. We also dive into the future of AI and legal operations, the value of staying curious throughout your career, and why having a friend who occasionally tells you to "just do the thing" might be one of the most underrated professional advantages out there.One of the themes we love exploring on Counsel Brew is that successful careers are built through a series of small decisions that often don't seem significant at the time.Attending a bar association event.Following up with someone you genuinely enjoy.Trying something that feels uncomfortable.Volunteering for the panel even when you'd rather hide behind the podium.Misty's career is proof that those moments add up.Also, if you ever find yourself sitting through a two-hour meeting while someone discusses dog treats with their pet, remember: someday it may become podcast content.Listen now: Find Misty at https://www.linkedin.com/in/misty-a-leon/Learn more about Practical Counsel Advisors at https://www.practicalcounseladvisors.com/Message us at hello@counselbrew.com Visit us at http://www.counselbrew.com And Follow us @counselbrewhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/counsel-brew/Send us Fan Mail Explicit Rating is for the occasional use of colorful language.

Episode SummaryNancy Deyo is a former Silicon Valley CEO, Stanford Distinguished Careers Institute Fellow, and author of the forthcoming memoir Perilous Ascent. After a medical crisis on Mount Kilimanjaro, Nancy entered a fifteen-year journey through misdiagnosis, chronic pain, opioid dependence, and identity collapse.In this episode of Stories from Real Life, Nancy shares how the strategies that once defined her success—discipline, endurance, ambition, and pushing through—eventually had to be reexamined. Her story is not about a simple cure or a clean comeback. It is about learning to live differently when life no longer responds to effort in the same way.This conversation explores chronic pain, medical uncertainty, high-performance culture, shame, adaptation, and the deeper meaning of resilience.In This Episode, We Discuss* The medical crisis Nancy experienced on Mount Kilimanjaro* How chronic pain reshaped her identity and daily life* The long road through misdiagnosis and medical uncertainty* Opioid dependence in the context of chronic pain* The emotional cost of high-performance culture* Why “pushing through” can sometimes become harmful* Attending graduate school while unable to sit* Rebuilding a meaningful life without pretending everything is fixed* Her forthcoming memoir, Perilous Ascent* A more honest definition of resilienceMemorable ThemesOne of the most powerful ideas in this conversation is that resilience does not always mean pushing harder. Sometimes resilience means recognizing limits, grieving the life that changed, and adapting with honesty rather than force.Nancy's story will resonate with anyone living with chronic illness, navigating burnout, facing medical uncertainty, caregiving for someone in pain, or rebuilding after a major life disruption.About Nancy DeyoNancy Deyo is a former Silicon Valley CEO and Stanford Distinguished Careers Institute Fellow.

Today we have Brooke. She is 55 years old, lives in Denver, CO and she took her last drink on February 17th, 2026. This episode is brought to you by: Sign up and get 10% off: Better Help If you're wondering what you can expect in your first seven days alcohol free, well, we just created a FREE 7-day guide for your first seven days. [02:39] Thoughts from Paul: In the upcoming book, This is How We Quit, we are currently narrowing down the submissions from 66 to around 20. While reviewing these all, Paul shares with us a snippet from one of them by Kristi, who was the guest on episode 492. [07:45] Paul introduces Brooke: Brookes lives in Denver, CO, has been married for 25 years and they have two sons. She has a background in education and for fun she enjoys being outside. They enjoy hiking, skiing, walking and playing tennis. Growing up, Brooke believed that alcohol was necessary part of living. She saw her parents drink casually and was in a lot of environments where drinking was a given. Brooke took her first drink in high school, and it was just part of socializing throughout high school, college and her early professional years. Brooke says it's hard to imagine a time when she didn't think drinking was normalized. Whether drinking for celebration or drinking for grieving, alcohol was always present. Once Brooke reached her 40s, she noticed that it wasn't as easy to get up the next day without some sort of hangover symptoms even if all she had was one or two drinks after a hard day at work. Brooke was starting to question her drinking but the talk about alcohol being "good for us" was conflicting. She was beginning to see the signs of alcohol interfering with her health. She was participating in cleanses for 10 or 30 days and found that she felt so much better when she took breaks from drinking. It was hard for her to think about quitting completely because if how much it was present socially. When Brooke's mother was diagnosed with cancer, she noticed that all of the doctors discouraged alcohol. This got the wheels turning for Brooke and she did a deep dive on the detriments of alcohol on our bodies. Brooke was recovering from shingles this past February and that is when she decided she was done with alcohol. She doesn't feel like it was a rock bottom moment, but more of a realization that she was just exhausted from the inner dialogue around her drinking. When she initially quit, Brooke was questioning how she was going to show up in her life without the drinking. She had experience quitting from doing cleanses in the past, so she knew it would be tough initially, but was prepared to be kind to herself throughout the process. She focused on caring for herself as she would care for one of her children if they were in distress or sick. Learning and reading research about what alcohol does to our bodies has been helpful for Brooke. She has learned to slow down and be more aware of her feelings and what she needs to make herself feel better, without alcohol. Brooke uses a breathwork to help calm her nervous system and has also found great healing in nature. In addition to yoga, mediation, breathwork and nature, other resources Brooke has found helpful on her journey are attending therapy, reading Quitlit, research on functional medicine and reading the bible. Attending meetings with sober communities has been important as well. At about two months sober at the time of this recording, Brooke says she feels stronger than she's ever felt. She feels free and clear in both her head and heart spaces and is excited to explore life free of alcohol. Recovery Elevator Go big. Because eventually we'll all go home. I love you guys.

Join our monthly Seed Chat at SeedChat.orgIn This Podcast: In this monthly Seed Chat, Greg Peterson and Bill McDorman explore the global rules governing seed ownership, seed saving, biodiversity, and agricultural policy. The conversation dives into international treaties, plant patenting, farmers' rights, and the growing tension between the Global North and Global South over control of genetic resources. Bill shares firsthand experiences attending United Nations treaty negotiations and working with Indigenous seed sovereignty issues through Native Seeds/SEARCH. The episode also highlights why everyday gardeners and farmers should become “seed citizens” by saving and sharing locally adapted seeds.Bill McDorman is a renowned seed saver, educator, and advocate for agricultural biodiversity. He co-founded the Rocky Mountain Seed Alliance and has spent decades teaching gardeners and farmers how to grow, save, and share heirloom seeds. Through workshops, speaking, and mentorship, Bill inspires communities to strengthen local food systems, preserve regional seed diversity, and protect seed sovereignty for future generations.Key TopicsSeed libraries and locally adapted seed sharingInternational Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA)UPOV and global plant variety protection lawsWorld Trade Organization (WTO) seed policy influenceFarmers' rights and seed sovereigntyPlant patenting and intellectual property in agricultureConvention on Biological Diversity (CBD)Nagoya Protocol and access-benefit sharingDigital Sequence Information (DSI) and genetic ownershipNative Seeds/SEARCH and Indigenous seed stewardshipOrganic Seed Alliance and seed policy debatesGlobal North vs. Global South agricultural power dynamicsSeed banks and the Multilateral System (MLS)The importance of saving open-pollinated seedsThe future resilience of local food systemsKey Questions AnsweredWhat is the International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture?The ITPGRFA is a legally binding international treaty created to govern the conservation, sharing, and equitable use of plant genetic resources for food and agriculture. It officially entered into force in 2004 and now includes participation from more than 180 countries.Why do global seed treaties matter to everyday gardeners and farmers?These treaties influence who can save seeds, who profits from plant genetics, and how agricultural biodiversity is preserved. The policies affect food security, seed availability, farmer independence, and long-term resilience of local food systems.What is UPOV and why is it controversial?UPOV is an international agreement that grants intellectual property protections to plant breeders. Critics argue that newer versions of UPOV weaken farmers' traditional rights to save and replant seeds while strengthening corporate control over agriculture.How does the WTO influence seed laws around the world?According to Bill McDorman, countries seeking participation in global trade systems often adopt UPOV-style protections as part of WTO-related trade expectations, creating pressure on smaller nations to align with industrial seed systems.What is the Nagoya Protocol?The Nagoya Protocol is an international agreement designed to ensure fair and equitable sharing of benefits arising from genetic resources. It attempts to address historical exploitation of Indigenous and Global South biodiversity by pharmaceutical and agricultural corporations.What is Digital Sequence Information (DSI)?DSI refers to genetic sequencing data derived from crops and plant varieties. A major debate centers around who owns this information and whether communities that stewarded these crops for generations should share in the economic benefits created from their genetic data.What are farmers' rights in global seed policy?Farmers' rights include the ability to save, use, exchange, and sell farm-saved seed. These rights remain one of the most contested issues in international agricultural negotiations.Why are seed libraries important?Seed libraries help preserve locally adapted seed varieties while strengthening regional food resilience. They also create community networks for knowledge sharing and decentralized seed stewardship.How did Native Seeds/SEARCH navigate Indigenous seed stewardship?Bill shares stories from his time directing Native Seeds/SEARCH, including working with Zuni and Hopi communities to renegotiate relationships around seed stewardship, naming rights, and seed distribution.Why does Bill McDorman encourage people to attend UN treaty meetings?He believes participation in international seed policy discussions is critical for protecting biodiversity and farmers' rights. Attending these events allows citizens, gardeners, and small farmers to directly engage with global agricultural policy.Episode HighlightsBill discovers a seed library inside a small-town New Mexico library and reflects on the importance of locally adapted seeds.Greg and Bill explain how seed laws emerged alongside industrial agriculture and large-scale seed commerce.Bill breaks down UPOV, WTO policy, and how plant patenting transformed global agriculture.The conversation explores how Indigenous plant genetics were historically extracted and commercialized.Bill recounts receiving a cease-and-desist letter regarding Zuni bean varieties while directing Native Seeds/SEARCH.A deep discussion unfolds around Digital Sequence Information and the ownership of plant DNA data.Bill explains why small farmers across Africa increasingly believe they no longer have the right to save seeds.The episode concludes with a call for more “seed citizens” actively saving and sharing seeds locally.ResourcesResource — Seed Chat Live Events — SeedChat.orgPodcast — Urban Farm PodcastOrganization — UPOV – International Union for the Protection of New Varieties of PlantsOrganization — World Trade Organization (WTO)Organization — Commission on Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (CGRFA)Treaty — International Treaty on Plant Genetic Resources for Food and Agriculture (ITPGRFA)Organization — Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD)Resource — Nagoya Protocol on Access and Benefit-sharingCommunity — Organic Seed AllianceOrganization — Native Seeds/SEARCHEvent — Great American Seed Up — First weekend in November in Phoenix, ArizonaVisit UrbanFarm.org/987 for the show notes and links on this episode!Need a little bit of advice or just a feedback on your design for your yard or garden?The Urban Farm Team is offering consults over the phone or zoom.

Many patients interpret their illness through the lens of their religious tradition. Sometimes this process brings hope, comfort, or growth – but other times it compounds their suffering. What are patients supposed to do when they don't see their lives reflected in the religious stories they cherish? And how can physicians recognize and respond to spiritual suffering that is layered on top of the physical? Our guest on this episode is Dr. Jonathan Weinkle, clinical assistant professor at the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. Dr. Weinkle practices Internal and Pediatric medicine at Squirrel Hill Health Center – a health center focused on overcoming economic, cultural, and logistical barriers to health care. He serves as a consultant to the Jewish Healthcare Foundation and as the medical director of the Physician Assistant Program at Chatham University. In 2025, he published his book From Illness to Exodus with the goal of helping patients and healers navigate illness – using one of the world's oldest stories. Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Weinkle shares insights from the story of the Jewish Exodus that may help patients feeling trapped in the “narrow place” of illness. We discuss the spiritual and emotional complexity faced by patients whose own illness stories don't end with a miraculous escape. Finally, we reflect on the importance of healers who understand their patients' “idioms of distress” and who can attune to their suffering. On this episode, you'll hear about: 2:45 - How Dr. Weinkle found his way to a career in Med-Peds, and the many hats he wears in his current work 9:00 - Dr. Weinkle's views on balancing faith and science in medicine16:00 - The cultural importance and traditions of Passover in the Jewish faith 21:30 - How the lessons of the Passover can be connected to medicine and healing 28:45 - Why Dr. Weinkle chose to write a book for healers 40:00 - Dr. Weinkle's advice for identifying and responding to a patient's taxonomy of distress47:30 - Attending to suffering when it cannot be ‘fixed'52:25 - How healers can use ritual to center themselves in their work If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
