Are oxalates actually harming your health, or is this another nutrition myth? In this episode of Super Life, Darin Olien breaks down the real science behind oxalates, their connection to kidney stones, mineral absorption, and gut health, and whether you really need to avoid high-oxalate foods. There's a lot of fear-mongering around oxalates, but what does the latest research say? Should you stop eating spinach, beets, or almonds? What about meat's impact on kidney function? Darin pulls from peer-reviewed studies to cut through the noise and give you the facts so you can make the best choices for your health. If you've ever wondered whether oxalates are a real concern or just clickbait, this episode is a must-listen.     Segment 1: What Are Oxalates? Friend or Foe? Oxalates, or oxalic acid, are naturally occurring compounds found in many plant-based foods. They serve as a defense mechanism for plants but can sometimes bind with minerals like calcium and iron in the body, potentially forming kidney stones or reducing nutrient absorption.  Here's the key question: Are oxalates dangerous, or is this another health myth blown out of proportion?   Here's what the research says:  For most people, oxalates are NOT a problem. Your body naturally processes and eliminates excess oxalates through urine.  For those prone to kidney stones, particularly calcium oxalate stones (which make up about 80% of all kidney stones), consuming too many high-oxalate foods can increase the risk.  Oxalates can interfere with calcium and iron absorption, but this is only a concern for people with nutrient deficiencies.   Key takeaway: If your kidneys are healthy, your body handles oxalates just fine. But if you've had kidney stones before, you might want to pay closer attention to your oxalate intake.      Segment 2: What Does the Science Say About Oxalates?  To cut through the noise, I pulled up the latest research from 2024 and 2025. Here's what's new:    1. Gut Microbiota Can Help Protect Against Oxalates  A  2025 study in Frontiers in Nutrition found that certain gut bacteria (like Oxalobacter formigenes) actually digest oxalates, helping prevent kidney stones.  Takeaway: If you're worried about oxalates, supporting your gut microbiome with probiotics might be a natural way to reduce their impact.  Link: Read Study Here   "The presence of oxalate-degrading bacteria in the gut can significantly lower oxalate absorption and reduce kidney stone risk." – Dr. L. Wang, NHANES Study    2. Vitamin C Supplements & Oxalate Formation  Some people worry that high-dose vitamin C supplements convert into oxalates, increasing kidney stone risk.  A 2025 study in Nutrients found no significant increase in urinary oxalates from vitamin C intake.  Takeaway: If you take vitamin C in moderation, you don't have to worry about it increasing oxalates.  Link: Read Study Here "Contrary to popular belief, moderate vitamin C supplementation does not significantly raise oxalate levels in urine." – Dr. P.C. Calder, Nutrients Journal    3. Cooking & Fermentation Can Reduce Oxalates  A 2024 study on fermentation & nutrient bioavailability found that cooking reduces oxalate levels by up to 60%.  Best methods? Boiling, steaming, and fermentation lower oxalates significantly.  Takeaway: If you love spinach but worry about oxalates, just boil it first!  Link: Read Study Here      Segment 3: What About Meat? Does It Increase Kidney Stone Risk? Now, here's something you might not expect. We talk a lot about oxalates and plant-based foods, but what about meat? Could eating too much meat actually contribute to kidney stones? The research says YES—but not because of oxalates. Instead, the mechanism is uric acid and metabolic acidity. Let's break it down.   1. Red Meat & Uric Acid Stones  A 2024 study in Nature Reviews Urology found that high animal protein intake increases uric acid, which contributes to kidney stones.  Excess meat consumption makes urine more acidic, making it easier for stones to form.  Link: Read Study Here "High animal protein intake, while providing essential amino acids, also contributes to increased acid load and uric acid production, both of which are risk factors for kidney stone development." – Dr. S. Loeb, Nature Reviews Urology     2. Meat Increases Metabolic Acidity  A 2025 study from Frontiers in Endocrinology found that excessive meat consumption leads to increased acid load, calcium loss, and kidney dysfunction.  This makes it harder for the kidneys to filter out waste properly.  Link: Read Study Here "While meat consumption is essential for many, excessive intake can disrupt mineral ion homeostasis, increasing the risk of kidney stone disease." – Dr. R. Ahmad, Frontiers in Endocrinology     Segment 4: Foods High & Low in Oxalates Knowing which foods to eat or limit is key.   High-Oxalate Foods (If You're at Risk)  Spinach, Swiss chard, beet greens  Beets, rhubarb, sweet potatoes  Almonds, peanuts, cashews  Blackberries, kiwi, figs  Black tea, cocoa, coffee    Low-Oxalate Foods (Safer Choices)  Kale, mustard greens, cabbage  Cauliflower, cucumbers, zucchini  Apples, bananas, melons, grapes  Milk, yogurt (binds with oxalates)  Eggs, fish, chicken, beef (in moderation)     Segment 5: Actionable Steps to Manage Oxalate & Meat Intake If you're concerned about oxalates or meat-related kidney stones, here's what to do:   Balance Oxalates with Calcium  Eat calcium-rich foods with oxalates to prevent them from forming stones. Cook Your Vegetables  Boiling, steaming, and fermenting reduce oxalates by up to 60%!  Drink Plenty of Water  Staying hydrated flushes out excess oxalates & uric acid.  Don't Overdo Meat Consumption  Limit red meat intake and balance with alkaline foods like vegetables & fruit.  Probiotics for Gut Health  Consider probiotic-rich foods like yogurt and kimchi to help break down oxalates.     Final Thoughts So, should you avoid oxalates? Should you stop eating meat? Not necessarily. The real key is BALANCE. Most people don't need to avoid oxalates entirely, and meat is fine in moderation—as long as you balance it with hydration, alkaline foods, and a gut-friendly diet.     What You'll Learn in This Episode: (00:00:00) Introduction – What are oxalates, and why is everyone talking about them?

Life can feel like walking a tightrope. Lean too far one way—self-righteousness—and you become rigid and judgmental. Lean too far the other—reckless sin—and you risk destruction. But what if there's a better way? Welcome to The Daily, where we go through the Bible verse by verse, chapter by chapter, every single day. Today, we're looking at Ecclesiastes 7:15-18: In my vain life I have seen everything. There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing. Be not overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself? Be not overly wicked, neither be a fool. Why should you die before your time? It is good that you should take hold of this, and from that withhold not your hand, for the one who fears God shall come out from both of them. — Ecclesiastes 7:15-18 Solomon lays out a tension: A righteous man suffers, while a wicked man seems to thrive. And then comes the warning—don't be “overly righteous,” but also don't be “overly wicked.” Is Solomon telling us to live somewhere in the middle? To just be… lukewarm? Not at all. This isn't a call to compromise—it's a call to wisdom. To avoid both self-righteousness and self-centeredness—and instead, fear God. I've met believers who try to control life through extreme moral rigidity—thinking perfection will guarantee blessings. I've also met people who throw caution to the wind—living recklessly, assuming they have time to fix things later. Both are dangerous. Legalism crushes the soul. Lawlessness destroys the body. But the fear of the Lord? That leads to life. So, where do you land? Are you trying to earn your way to God's favor? Or are you ignoring God altogether, assuming you'll deal with it later? The right step forward? Fear God. Walk in wisdom. Trust Him to guide your path. #WisdomInChrist, #FearOfTheLord, #DailyBibleStudy ASK THIS: In what ways have you tried to control life through moral rigidity? Have you ever assumed you had time to fix things later? How did that work out? What does it mean to "fear God" in your daily decisions? How can wisdom help you avoid the extremes of legalism and lawlessness? DO THIS: Pause today and ask: Am I leaning toward self-righteousness or self-centeredness? Then, realign your heart to fear God and trust Him fully. PRAY THIS: Lord, help me to walk in wisdom, fearing You above all else. Keep me from the traps of both legalism and lawlessness so I may follow You faithfully. Amen. PLAY THIS: I Will Fear No More.

In this episode, we'll talk more about what balance (or equanimity) is and isn't while we debunk common myths about balance-- particularly as it relates to perfectionism. A key takeaway is that balance is not a static, end state but rather a dynamic process much like navigating a boat through ever-changing waves. We'll offer some practical, actionable strategies that you can take right now to embrace your balance.   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate and review us wherever you listen to your favorite podcasts!   Sources and Notes: Joy Lab Program: Take the next leap in your wellbeing journey with step-by-step practices to help you build and maintain the elements of joy in your life.  Full transcript here.

There's no handbook for being a mother and working in advertising. RPA's Jane LoSasso, Senior Vice President and Group Account Director, and Otilia Flandro, Director of Analytics, share personal stories and practical advice about the unique challenges and triumphs of working mothers in the advertising industry. 

Episode 186: Hosts Richard Kyte and Scott Rada discuss the delicate balance between pleasure-seeking and meaning-making in our fast-paced, technology-driven world. "Are we chasing quick pleasure at the cost of deeper meaning?" Rada asks at the start of the discussion. Kyte explains that these two orientations toward life often exist on a continuum — pleasure-seeking is passive and short-term, while meaning-making is active and long-term. The hosts note that society seems to have tilted heavily toward the pleasure-seeking side in recent decades, fueled by advances in technology and brain science that allow companies to engineer highly addictive digital experiences and products. From social media and online gaming to streaming television and convenient but unhealthy food, these stimuli provide instant gratification that can come at the expense of more meaningful pursuits. "Pleasure-seeking is always shorter term because it is immediate gratification, while meaning-making is more long-term and goal-oriented," Kyte says. He worries this shift has led people to prioritize controlled, predictable digital interactions over the unpredictability of real-life relationships and activities. The hosts acknowledge the personal responsibility people have in finding a healthier balance. They suggest taking up hobbies, joining community groups and setting aside time for reading — activities that restore energy rather than deplete it. However, they also believe there is a role for public policy, especially when it comes to protecting children.

New York officials are in the final stage of the state's budget process, following March 13 passage of the Assembly and Senate individual spending and revenue proposals for fiscal 2026. It's now up to a three-way negotiation between the Legislature's two chambers and Gov. Kathy Hochul (D), who has her own plans for a budget that's likely to top $252 billion—including a host of tax changes that don't completely align with what the Democratic-led lawmakers want. As in recent years, lawmakers have proposed raising taxes on the highest-income earners and corporations, which Hochul has rejected in the past. There are divergent approaches to how much to expand the state's child tax credit. And the Senate wants to tailor the governor's idea of sending New Yorkers sales tax rebates—a salve to inflation—to just seniors rather than all taxpayers. Other issues include an expansion of New York's film tax credit program to benefit more independent movies and whether the Metropolitan Transportation Authority's funding needs will disrupt the various tax proposals. On this episode of Talking Tax, Bloomberg Tax state editor Benjamin Freed talks with New York correspondent Danielle Muoio Dunn and Bloomberg Government Albany correspondent Zach Williams about the budget process, the political stakes for Hochul ahead of her 2026 re-election campaign, and the odds that lawmakers wrap up the budget by their April 1 deadline—or at least the first night of Passover.

VYS0049 | Machines of Loving Vayse - Vayse to Face with Sequoyah Kennedy v2.0 - Show Notes Imagine, if you will, a world burning as society crumbles (is this stretching you?), in the perpetual, scorched twighlight of a dying planet, the determined foot of a tall figure crushes a skull on a landscape forged of human bones - that foot belongs to Sequoyah Kennedy and the human bones are the vestiges of the common myths and misunderstandings about artificial intelligence... apparently AI's are better than humans at devising effective metaphors in order to convey useful information - and we'll have to hope for their sake that's true. In this episode Hine and Buckley invite back to Vayse one of the most intelligent and articulate humans in the material world, Sequoyah Kennedy. Since the Nonsense Bazaar ended SK has gone deep down the rabbit hole of large language models and has returned to help Hine and Buckley get their heads round what artificial intelligence actually means in 2025 and dismisses some of the ubiquitous confusion which surrounds the topic: is the best use of AI as personal assistant and unpaid artists? Are there demons haunting cyberspace? Do androids dream of electric sheep? and he touches on one of the big questions of our time - are we all in very real danger from this soulless, characterless mockery of human ingenuity with no empathy, no conscience and no soul... or will Elon Musk just finally piss off so that we can live in glorious harmony with our wonderful, wise robot buddies? (recorded 11 March) Thanks to Sequoyah for his patenience in explaining these ocmplex ideas to two middle-aged luddites and thanks, as always to Special K - the man who makes sense of our ramblings, Keith who once again did a sterling job of the show notes.

If no matter how bad you want something you never get it, you'll hate the endless yearning,  But with a Happy Mindset, you'll realize that the opposite of Winning isn't Losing, it's Learning. [full script below] Ep. 394 - Happy Mindset We begin as always  with the Happy Creed. We believe in Happy,  in Balance and Growth,  of being Mindful and Grateful, Compassionate and Understanding. Yowza Haha My Happy Friends! I've known smart, attractive, rich, and talented people who still hated their lives quite a lot, Because they were stuck in the past, or in a shame spiral, or hung up on guilt and regret, They could never be grateful, only ever seeing all the things they hadn't quite got, They never saw opportunities, only obstacles, for everything to them was a threat. I mean, I know, sometimes it feels like the world is doing everything it can to make life tough, No matter how bad you want something, you never get it--so, what's the point of yearning? Well, that all depends on your Mindset, really. A Mean one will make you Mean, sure enough, But a Happy Mindset knows that the opposite of Winning isn't Losing, it's Learning. Trying the same thing over and over only leads to progress if you learn along the way, And Progress is just another way of saying Winning by a matter of degrees, You may not win first place every time, but you can still gain strength and skill every day, And that's how you can keep your spirits up when everyone else has a feeling of unease. I got punched in the face once by a very angry man who I was only trying to assist, He couldn't see that, though, he could only perceive all the things he felt he was missing, So, ignoring all the good things around us, he just cursed, kicked the air and balled up his fist,  And then when I didn't back down, pretty soon it was the ground I was kissing. But did I cry or wonder why the world had been so cruel? Did I weep or wail? Not at all, I just got back up and watched him get hauled off by the cops. He sucker punched me, which is pretty dirty, but he went to jail, And I learned that not everyone wants my help and would just rather bust me in the chops. The outcome of any situation, therefore, should not be one's sole motivating factor,  Because then you'll miss the journey, the wisdom, the lesson and the hope,  You'll just condemn yourself to having meltdowns like a leaky nuclear reactor, Where even the slightest frustration makes you think you've lost and therefore can't cope. Now I get sad, sure, I get mad too, I'm a person, but I know those feelings are fleeting, Because I always aim to maintain my Happy Mindset even if it takes a few tries, Not everything works the first time you do it, but it'll never work if you keep retreating, So, just keep at it, keep trying for improvement because isn't that the real prize? Haha Yowza

Guest post by Michael Watkins who is a professor of leadership at the IMD Business School, co-founder of Genesis Advisers, and a bestselling business author of books including The Six Disciplines of Strategic Thinking and The First 90 Days. This article looks at the challenges of remote work. Working from home, whether full-time or just a few days a week, provides significant potential benefits. There's no commute, improved work-life balance, and often increased productivity during focused tasks. Many professionals discover that they can focus better without office distractions, save money on transportation and meals, and gain valuable flexibility in managing their schedules. However, remote work does come with challenges, and even those who initially excel in a home environment may experience a decline in effectiveness over time. Remote Work: Overcoming the Challenges Recognizing when and why your home working setup is not serving you well is essential for making necessary adjustments. Whether you're facing difficulties with remote work days or contemplating changes to your hybrid schedule, pinpointing the biggest challenges is the first step. Here are the top three obstacles and their solutions: 1. Lack of structure and boundaries. The absence of traditional office routines can lead to irregular work patterns and make disconnecting difficult. If this is a challenge for you, try to address it by establishing a strict daily schedule with clear start and end times for your workdays at home. Create a morning routine to replace your commute, improve your task management, and set alarms to signal the end of your workday. Most importantly, avoid checking work emails and messages during off-hours to keep your mental boundaries intact. 2. Home environment distractions. From household chores vying for your attention to family members interrupting important calls, distractions at home can break your focus and lower productivity. Set up a dedicated workspace, even if it's just a corner of a room, and clearly communicate your work hours to family members. Utilize noise-canceling headphones and adopt productivity techniques. Consider maintaining separate devices for work and personal tasks to decrease the temptation to mix activities. 3. Professional isolation. Without regular office interactions, work can become isolating, and creativity may decline. Schedule virtual coffee chats with colleagues on remote workdays, join online professional communities within your industry, and consider occasionally working from a café or coworking space. Many professionals discover that maintaining connections takes intentional effort - setting up regular team check-ins and engaging actively in virtual meetings. The challenges of remote work can affect people differently based on gender. Recent research indicates that women often face greater pressure to balance work and household responsibilities during work hours at home, while men frequently report feeling more isolated and struggle with maintaining boundaries. Women may need to be more explicit in setting interruption rules with family, while men could benefit from intentionally scheduling social connections. If these adjustments don't enhance your situation, consider spending more time in a co-working space or changing your home-to-office ratio. You might find that you work more effectively with two days at home for focused tasks and three days in the office for collaboration, while others might prefer the reverse. Regardless of your gender or circumstances, the key is to discover the right balance that promotes both productivity and well-being in your professional life.

A lot of us learn our biggest spiritual lessons through love—through relationships, through heartbreak, through fantasies… and through the moment when it all crumbles down.   We've been raised on fairytales. We walk into a room, scan the crowd, and wonder—is he here? We meet someone new and instantly ask, “is he the one?” Because we've been told that if we just find the right person, everything will magically fall into place.   But what if love doesn't happen on our timeline?   That's why today, I'm joined by my longtime friend Nadine Lee to explore the feminine spiritual path through love, heartbreak, and the transformation that follows.   We met a decade ago in Bali, both in our early 20s, both navigating deep heartbreaks, lessons, and rebirths. And as we tuned into the feminine, we realized something powerful:   In this episode, we dive into: ✨ Transforming from Princess to Queen by learning to trust yourself instead of waiting to be chosen. ✨ Releasing the fantasy of Prince Charming and seeing love as a reflection of your own self-worth. ✨ Creating safety within so relationships feel expansive rather than something to escape into. ✨ Identifying karmic cycles in love and shifting patterns that no longer serve you. ✨ Understanding Kali Ma's power as the force that destroys illusions so something real can be built. ✨ Embodying Queen energy in relationships by making choices rooted in self-respect and truth.   The feminine is swept up in love. It is consumed by love, intoxicated by it, moved by the way it weaves through every moment.   And yet, so many of us have learned to mistake longing for love itself. To believe that waiting is devotion. That attachment is connection.    But real love isn't something to chase—it's something to become.   And that's the real journey—from Princess, to Queen, to Priestess.   Connect with Nadine Lee Here:https://www.instagram.com/nadineleeofficial?igsh=ajJlNjVzMHFnbXdk   Watch the past episode with Nadine Lee below:   Tantric Wisdom for Women: https://youtu.be/WHR-hokJl7Q?si=z0o9Sdt-AGunkaFd   Join DCI's waitlist: https://highestselfinstitute.com/spring-2025-join-waitlist   Join the list for the upcoming Dharma Summit:  https://highestselfinstitute.com/spring-2025-summit-lp   Head to https://www.factormeals.com/sahara50 to get 50% off your order!    Discover Your Dharma - Order your copy now - https://iamsahararose.com/dharma   Stream the Intro + Outro Music: Trust Flow by Sahara Rose ft.

Just like all the water in the ocean can't sink a ship unless the water gets inside the boat, all the negativity and toxicity in the world won't bring you down unless you let it in. Mindfulness doesn't make other people less irritating, it makes us less irritable. So, if you are still irritable, then you still have work to do. Part of that work involves no longer waiting for the world to accommodate your preferences or reacting when things don't go your way.

Personal development is supposed to help you grow, but what if it's actually keeping you stuck? In this episode, we break down the hidden traps of self-improvement—where growth turns into self-sabotage—and how to move forward. What We Cover: The “I Need More Information” Trap – Learning without action isn't progress. Execution is where real growth happens. Perfectionism Paralysis – Waiting for the “perfect” moment? It doesn't exist. Progress beats perfection every time. The “Healing” Excuse – Self-work is valuable, but don't use it as an excuse to avoid discomfort and real-world action. Chasing Motivation Instead of Discipline – Motivation fades. If you don't build habits, you'll stay stuck. Hustle vs. Inner Work Conflict – Too much grinding leads to burnout, too much “inner work” leads to inaction. Balance is key. The “I'm So Different” Syndrome – Overcomplicating your struggles keeps you from progress. Success leaves clues—follow them. How to Actually Use Personal Development the Right Way: Learn, but apply immediately. Take imperfect action—don't wait for the right moment. Be self-aware, but don't get stuck in endless healing. Stop chasing motivation—focus on habits. Balance hustle with self-reflection. This episode is all about breaking free from the self-improvement cycle that keeps you stuck and actually making progress. If this resonates, share it with someone who needs to hear it.

Are you exercising the right way to strengthen your bones and prevent fractures? Many people work out without realizing they may not be doing the best exercises for bone health. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Claudia Tamas, a physical therapist and certified strength and conditioning specialist, to break down the most effective strength and resistance exercises for building stronger bones, improving muscle health, and reducing fracture risk. She shares insights from global communities with virtually no osteoporosis and her work with the ONERO™ program, a scientifically proven approach to osteoporosis exercise therapy. Tune in to learn how to safely build bone strength through targeted movement! “If I were to recommend one single exercise that would work on all the risk factors for fractures, that would be the squat. The squat is one  of the movements that is integrated in the lifestyle of the communities that have low or inexistent fracture risk." ~ Dr. Claudia Tamas In this episode: [01:22] - Meet Dr. Claudia Tamas, osteoporosis exercise expert [06:12] - What the research says about fracture risks in women [11:06] - The Liftmor Trial and ONERO™program [12:42] - Muscle strength: the missing link in fracture prevention [14:29] - Balance and fracture risk predictor [15:39] - The relationship between toe strength and fall risk  [16:38] - How poor posture increases osteoporosis risks [30:18] - The ONERO™ program and its impact on bone density [32:59] - The three most important exercises for bone health [38:39] - Osteoporosis exercises demonstration [46:23] - The positive effects of exercise on women's lives Resources mentioned - Link to Dr. Claudia's ONERO™ program in Somerset, NJ - https://www.nmrnj.com/our-services/osteoporosis-onero-program/  - Link to Dr. Claudia's Mastering Core Activation for Weight Training and Life Replay Class - https://happyboneshappylife.com/mastering-core-activation-for-weight-training-and-life-replay  - Fullscript - https://us.fullscript.com/welcome/mbissinger   More about Margie Website - https://margiebissinger.com/   Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/p/Margie-Bissinger-MS-PT-CHC-100063542905332/   Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/margiebissinger/?hl=en   DISCLAIMER – The information presented on this podcast should not be construed as medical advice.

Do you ever feel that knot in your stomach when you see a competitor's success on social media? Or a flash of panic when someone in your industry launches something big before you? Competition is a normal part of being a high achiever, but too often we get caught in a toxic cycle of comparison that keeps us stuck in self-doubt and overwhelm.   In this episode, we're diving into the difference between toxic and healthy competition and how to make the shift. We'll explore what each one looks and feels like, share stories from our own journeys, and provide practical strategies you can use to stop obsessing over what everyone else is doing and start getting the results you want.

#167: When was the last time you sat in your car, unable to walk into your house because you knew more responsibilities awaited inside? Or found yourself unable to enjoy simple pleasures because your mind kept racing with work-related thoughts? These are just a couple of the warning signs of burnout that we explore in this deeply personal and timely conversation.Drawing from our experiences as professionals in high-burnout fields—nursing and trauma coaching—we pull back the curtain on what burnout really feels like from the inside. The statistics are staggering: 30-60% of nurses experience burnout (with ER and ICU nurses at highest risk), while 40-60% of mental health professionals face similar challenges, particularly those working with trauma survivors.We dive into the physical manifestations of burnout (chronic fatigue, sleep disturbances, frequent illness) alongside the more subtle emotional signs that often go unrecognized until they've reached critical levels. Perhaps most revealing is our honest discussion about compassion fatigue—that moment when dedicated professionals find themselves thinking, "I don't care why you're here, I just want to go home," and the shame that accompanies such thoughts.Cultural factors play a significant role in how we perceive work and rest. While American culture often glorifies overwork, we contrast this with perspectives from European and Mexican work cultures that prioritize boundaries and balance. This conversation explores how these cultural narratives shape our personal expectations and contribute to burnout cycles.Most importantly, we offer practical, tried-and-tested strategies for both preventing and recovering from burnout: controlling workload, prioritizing recovery, establishing clear boundaries, making career adjustments when necessary, and seeking support. The oxygen mask principle becomes our north star—you must secure your own wellbeing before effectively caring for others.Whether you're already experiencing burnout symptoms or want to prevent them, this episode provides validation, perspective, and actionable steps to reclaim your energy and passion. Remember: setting boundaries isn't selfish—it's essential for sustainable service to others.Find Meenu here:https://www.instagram.com/transcendencebymeenu/https://linktr.ee/meenuananthh?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAaaaI3RMDF6f_0JTwy9njR0EiVtqX0bQK3ym9R8GGZQJueTfFJd6PO6VlGo_aem_vJyDOO55KoylixfkUuhUGAYou can now send us a text to ask a question or review the show.
