This podcast is brought to you by Outcomes Rocket, your exclusive healthcare marketing agency. Learn how to accelerate your growth by going to⁠ outcomesrocket.com Even with insurance, nearly half of Americans delay care simply because they can't find a doctor in their network. In this episode, Eric Demers, CEO of Madaket Health, talks about the growing issue of healthcare access and cost in the U.S., even for insured individuals. Madaket commissioned a national survey to better understand how bad provider data impacts patients, finding that nearly half of Americans delay care because they can't find in-network providers, especially millennials, who are more likely to seek alternative care routes. Demers explains that the root cause is outdated, inaccurate, and poorly synchronized provider data, worsened by the lack of national standards and inconsistent systems across payers and providers. Even vertically integrated health systems suffer from internal data mismatches. Madaket Health aims to fix this by acting as a data bridge between payers and providers, leveraging its platform, used by over 80% of U.S. providers, to keep information up-to-date and aligned, improving directories and patient access to care. Tune in to learn how broken provider data is quietly undermining healthcare access and what's being done to fix it! Resources: Connect with and follow Eric Demers on LinkedIn.

Ever wondered how someone goes from being a die-hard statist to embracing a "no king but Christ" worldview? Patrick Green, creator of the 100 Fold Testimonies podcast, shares his journey from a statist Christian to embracing "no king but Christ (King Jesus)".  Patrick's journey is a rollercoaster of faith, doubt, and revelation. He opens up about his Catholic upbringing, his struggles with infertility, and the three-phase process that led to his spiritual awakening. It's a raw and honest account that'll have you questioning your own beliefs. Patrick's journey unfolds in three distinct phases: The Devil's Barriers to God  Conditioned for Jesus via Personal Tragedy Receiving the Word: Return to God But this isn't just a feel-good testimony. Craig and Patrick dive deep into the thorny issue of state worship. They tackle questions like: Can you be a Christian and still pledge allegiance to a flag? What does the Bible really say about government?  How do we break free from the cult of political idolatry? Drawing from biblical passages like 1st Samuel 8, they challenge listeners to reconsider their relationship with political institutions. It's a conversation that'll make you squirm, think, and maybe even change your mind. Craig and Patrick don't shy away from their own past mistakes either. They share cringe-worthy stories of their former media consumption habits and political biases. Remember when you couldn't wait to get home and turn on your favorite news pundit? Yeah, they've been there too. But it's not all heavy stuff. Patrick introduces his new podcast, 100 Fold Testimonies, and invites listeners to share their own Jesus stories. It's a reminder that amidst all the political noise, personal transformation is still at the heart of faith. So, whether you're a political junkie, a skeptic, or just someone trying to figure out this whole Christianity thing, this episode's got something for you. It's a journey from statism to Christ-centeredness that'll challenge your assumptions and maybe even change your life. Ready to have your worldview shaken up a bit? Tune in and prepare to see politics, faith, and yourself in a whole new light

Let's talk about something that so many women wrestle with—but don't always say out loud: why is it so dang hard to invest in ourselves?In this episode, I'm digging into the real (and slightly messy) reasons we tend to put everyone else's needs, dreams, schedules, and snack preferences ahead of our own. From societal conditioning and chronic multitasking to good old-fashioned fear of judgment, we unpack all the reasons we self-abandon... and how to stop doing that.This isn't just about spa days and self-care candles (although, yes, those are nice too). It's about actually making room for your goals, your voice, your joy—and not feeling guilty about it.I share what I've learned about building self-awareness, standing boldly in your truth (even when it ruffles feathers), and why investing in your growth isn't just for you—it's for the generations of women watching you do it.If you've ever felt like you need permission to prioritize your own dreams, this is it. No more waiting. No more apologizing. Let's be the kind of women who go after what we want—and bring others with us.

In this episode of The Diana Show, I'm getting real about something so many of us struggle with—but rarely say out loud: investing in ourselves.Why is it that we'll move mountains for everyone else in our lives, but when it comes to our own dreams and goals, we hesitate? I talk about the ways we've been conditioned to put ourselves last, the mental load of multitasking, and how easy it is to lose sight of who we are underneath the caregiving, career-building, and people-pleasing.We'll dig into the fear of being judged, the guilt of wanting more, and the quiet, powerful decision to stop abandoning ourselves. I also share practical ways to start prioritizing your own goals again—and how doing so can be the boldest, most beautiful example you set for your kids, your friends, and your future self.If you've ever felt like you're cheering everyone else on but holding yourself back, this one's for you. Let's talk about how to reclaim our voice, our time, and our vision—together.

Lean BPI, the Irish digital growth consultancy for SMEs and microenterprises, has announced new survey results which reveal that cost is the greatest inhibitor of digital transformation for small enterprises in Ireland. The research found that almost half (46%) of small business owners cite it as a top barrier. The research of 100 business owners in Ireland, running companies with 20 employees or fewer, was carried out by Censuswide on behalf of Lean BPI. It found that other major obstacles cited by businesses included legacy systems and cybersecurity risks (36% each) and connectivity issues (29%). The latter appears to be a significantly greater issue for organisations who are fully remote, with 37% who operate this working model saying connectivity is a barrier. Despite concerns among small enterprises regarding the cost of digital adoption, 34% admit they have not made use of any Government digital supports. However, there is strong interest, with 75% expressing a desire to learn more about them. Lean BPI is encouraging small enterprises to prioritise digital transformation and take advantage of available supports to protect themselves from external risks and increasing market competition. Concerningly, one-third (34%) of small business owners feel they are not keeping up with the pace of digital change of their rivals, indicating the importance of digital adoption in remaining competitive. In addition, small enterprises recognise the significance of digital adoption in general, with 64% agreeing digital transformation is helping their business to grow. This is evident in the research which found 38% of businesses are getting further sales and prospective leads through their social media channels. It is therefore unsurprising that 75% plan to invest more in digital over the next 12 months and 70% have a clear digital strategy for their business in place. John O'Shanahan, founder and managing director, Lean BPI, said: "Although cost is a significant factor in digital adoption, government grants can substantially ease the financial burden for small enterprises. The research suggests that inconsistent behaviour may stem from an awareness gap, with over three-quarters of small businesses eager to learn more about the supports available. "With external pressures and intensified competition at play, small enterprises risk falling behind if they fail to adapt to the digital environment. It's essential that they conduct their own research and engage with their Local Enterprise Office Network to help break down the barriers to digital adoption. Encouragingly, the majority of small business owners are already on the right path, with a clear digital strategy in place for their business. With the right supports and guidance available, small enterprises can embrace digital transformation with their arms wide open and strengthen their position within the market in spite of external challenges."

This episode is not just about Kerala; it is about how a state with limited land, strict environmental regulations, and a long history of outmigration is approaching investment and growth.Kerala is a small, densely populated state with limited land to spare, not the typical site for industrial expansion. Yet it's taking a distinct approach to building a knowledge based economy.P. Rajeev (Minister for Industries, Law and Coir, Govt of Kerala) joins us to break this down.We discuss how Kerala rose from the bottom to become the top-ranked state in Ease of Doing Business, what's behind the ₹1.5 lakh crore in investment pledges, and why the state is prioritizing high-value industries over land and labour-intensive manufacturing. We also unpack how Kerala plans to convert MOUs into functioning factories and real jobs, and why startups that once moved away are now beginning to stay. Tune in if you're curious about how Indian states are attracting investment and rethinking their development models.0:00 – Trailer1:18 – Is Kerala Still Fighting Old Perceptions?5:59 – Kerala to Focus on Value-Added Manufacturing7:45 – How to Start an IT Firm in Kerala & Where It Missed the Tech Bus10:35 – What's Blocking Startups from Scaling in the State?11:15 – Can Kerala Retain Its Best Talent?14:20 – Kerala's Vision for a Free-Thinking Knowledge Economy16:36 – Repositioning as an Investor-Friendly Destination19:22 – What the “Nature, People, Industry” Motto Really Means22:22 – Will Kerala Deliver on Its Investor Summit Promises?23:42 – Why Vizhinjam Could Be a Game-Changer26:00 – How Indian States Are Competing for Investments28:47 – Is Stagnation in Productive Sectors Slowing Development?32:38 – Is Kerala's Geography a Barrier to Growth?33:24 – Are Its Environmental Rules Too Rigid for Industry?34:22 – Is Communism Holding Kerala Back?37:48 – When the Communist Govt funded a Private Co.41:17 – The Real Kerala Story43:28 – The History Behind Kerala's Education Revolution45:14 – What the Kerala Model Must Fix48:06 – Internet as a Basic Citizen Right48:56 – Kerala's Health Workers on the Global Frontlines51:19 – Can Outsiders Easily Buy Land in Kerala?53:01 – The State's Only Unicorn Company54:21 – Can Startups from Kerala Go Public?-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

Ennis traders have secured a resolution to a dispute with Dunnes Stores which saw trucks prevented from carrying out deliveries. Two weeks ago, an electronic barrier was erected by the supermarket at the entrance to its loading bay which also serves businesses on Cook's Lane and O'Connell Street. Following a blockade of the barrier by the Retailers of Ennis Group as well as a meeting with Dunnes Stores management, a system has been established whereby business owners that use the loading bay can call a number to have the barrier lifted. John O'Connor of Custys Music Shop and Retailers of Ennis says it shows the power of engagement and dialogue.

Send us a textRemember when Technology felt like it was meant to make our lives easier? For many Small Business owners today, AI and Automation have become sources of anxiety rather than solutions. Enter Mike Garde, who's on a personal mission to change that narrative.Mike isn't your typical Tech Consultant. With 30 years of Software Engineering experience, he could easily overwhelm you with jargon – but that's precisely what he refuses to do. "I want to democratize AI and automation for small businesses," he shares, explaining how larger Companies have already harnessed these tools while smaller operations remain paralized by complexity.During our conversation, Mike reveals the fascinating personal journey that shaped his approach. Growing up with a mother who battled anxiety and introduced him to positive thinking, and witnessing his father's extraordinary resilience during family tragedy, Mike developed a philosophy of continuously expanding beyond comfortable boundaries. "I've just been doing it so many times now. It's just a natural thing to progress, to push outside the boundaries I may feel confined in at any particular time," he reflects.What truly sets Mike apart is his integration of the "Three Principles" coaching philosophy with practical tech implementation. He sees our perception of technology as fundamentally shaped by our thoughts: "If we're in a good mood, the world looks a better place generally, and same as if we're looking at things with fear, as in AI or anything, the world looks like a more fearful place." This perspective allows him to guide business owners through their tech anxiety toward practical solutions.The highlight of our conversation comes when Mike demonstrates AI in real-time, conducting a conversation with ChatGPT that showcases both the capabilities and limitations of current technology. It's a perfect illustration of his hands-on approach to demystifying these tools.Whether you're a tech enthusiast or someone who breaks into a cold sweat at the mention of artificial intelligence, Mike's insights offer a refreshingly human perspective on our digital future. Connect with him at www.mgperformancecoaching.com to discover how AI can work for your business without the headaches.Tune in next week for more stories of 'Distinction & Genius' from The Good Listening To Show 'Clearing'.

In this episode of SpaceTime, we unlock the secrets of the Moon's far side, explore the Sun's helicity barrier, and discuss the European Space Agency's advancements in orbital launch vehicles.Extended Volcanism on the Moon's Far SideRecent findings reveal that the Moon's far side has experienced extended volcanism for at least 1.4 billion years, with two significant volcanic phases occurring around 4.2 and 2.8 billion years ago. This research, stemming from samples collected by China's Chang' E6 mission, provides insights into the Moon's geological history and the asymmetry between its near and far sides. The study highlights the role of colossal impacts in shaping the Moon's interior and suggests uneven distribution of volatile elements.Discovery of the Sun's Helicity BarrierA groundbreaking study has identified a region of the Sun known as the helicity barrier, which plays a crucial role in heating and accelerating the solar wind. Observations from NASA's Parker Solar Probe have confirmed the existence of this barrier, providing insights into the mechanisms of turbulent dissipation and coronal heating. This discovery helps explain temperature anomalies in the solar atmosphere and enhances our understanding of space weather events that impact Earth.European Space Agency's Launch Vehicle DevelopmentsThe European Space Agency has narrowed its list of potential candidates for future orbital launch vehicles. The selected companies will receive funding to develop their systems, aiming to increase competition and choice in European launch services. This initiative mirrors efforts by NASA in the U.S. to foster a diverse range of commercial launch providers, enhancing capabilities for future space missions.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesNature Journalhttps://www.nature.com/naturePhysical Reviewhttps://journals.aps.org/pr/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

For decades, the “90/10 Rule” has limited the share of revenue that for-profit colleges can receive from federal student aid to 90%. But National Defense Committee Executive Director Bob Carey, tells host Jason Altmire that this rule has had unintended and harmful consequences for veterans. Carey explains how this policy treats veterans' earned education benefits like government handouts, restricts their access to career-focused programs, and undermines their freedom to choose the education that best fits their lives. To learn more about Career Education Colleges & Universities, visit our website.

In this episode, we detail Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO), with a focus on fungal biofilm formation and its role in promoting microbial persistence and evasion of host immune responses. We discuss the phenotypic plasticity of Candida species, as well as biofilm matrices adherent to the intestinal mucosa. We further highlight common symptoms of SIFO as well as the effects of hypochlorhydria, reduced pancreatic enzyme and bile output, impaired motility, diminished commensal bacterial populations, and weakened mucosal immunity.Topics: 1. Introduction- Focus on the gut mucosal barrier.- Emphasis on Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO) and biofilms.2. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy- The mucosa: epithelium, lamina propria, and a thin band of smooth muscle.- The epithelial layer.- Covered by protective mucus composed of mucin glycoproteins secreted by goblet cells.- In the small intestine: less dense mucus.3. Epithelial Integrity- Tight junctions.- Paracellular barrier preventing uncontrolled antigen passage.4. Lamina Propria5. Overview of Small Intestinal Fungal Overgrowth (SIFO)- SIFO involves fungal overgrowth in the small intestine, commonly Candida species.- Small intestines: Low microbial density due to motility, gastric acid, bile acids, immune surveillance, and more.- Contributing factors: hypochlorhydria, impaired motility, reduced digestive enzymes, diminished competitive flora, lowered immunity, and more.6. Candida Pathogenicity- Candida exhibits phenotypic plasticity: yeast and hyphal forms.- Biofilm formation.7. Biofilm Formation- Biofilms are structured communities of microbes within a self-produced extracellular matrix.- Resistance to antimicrobials and immune defenses.- Can develop on intestinal mucosa and in various other regions.8. SIFO and SIBO Overlap- Root causes and overlap between SIFO and Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth (SIBO).- Common symptoms.9. Gastric Acid in More Detail- Stomach epithelium includes mucous, parietal, chief, and enteroendocrine cells- Parietal cells secrete hydrochloric acid.- HCl denatures proteins and aids in inhibiting pathogens.- Hypochlorhydria: possible causes. 10. Downstream Effects of Low Acid11. Gut Motility in More Detail- Motility involves rhythmic smooth muscle contractions.- Enteric nervous system (ENS): myenteric and submucosal plexuses.- Dysautonomia and motility.12. SIFO Contributing Factors13. Candida Regulation- Candida generally remains in unicellular yeast form under homeostatic regulation.- Controlled by microbial competition, host defenses, antifungal peptides, and more.14. Role of Mucus and sIgA- Mucosal immunity (including sIgA) aids in regulating Candida populations.- Low sIgA levels (due to stress, immune suppression, dysbiosis,…) weaken defense 15. Conclusion- Mucosal barrier structure.- SIFO and Candida.- Biofilm formation, microbial persistence, and mucosal disruption.- SIFO and SIBO.- Multifactorial nature of fungal dysbiosis, types of biofilms, and small intestinal overgrowth.Thank you to our episode sponsor: 1.

EIP‑7825 proposes a protocol‑enforced cap of 30 million gas per transaction, regardless of the overall block gas limit, to prevent individual transactions from consuming excessive block resources. This cap aims to improve network stability and guard against denial‑of‑service risks, especially as Ethereum evolves toward higher block gas limits and more complex transaction patterns. It also helps enhance parallel execution and rollup batching, ensuring that a single oversized transaction doesn't bottleneck block processing.EIP‑7934 proposes adding a protocol-level cap on the RLP-encoded size of execution-layer blocks, currently set at 10 MB plus a 512 KB margin, to prevent oversized blocks that strain network infrastructure. This cap addresses risks around network instability, such as slow block propagation, increased validation times, and potential consensus issues or DoS threats. While Ethereum already limits block processing by gas, explicitly bounding block bytes improves predictability and resilience in high-throughput scenarios or when adjusting gas limits upward.

The community group, Retailers of Ennis, imposed a blockade on the delivery entrance to Dunnes Stores on Friday in response to the retail giant's erection of an electronic barrier. The barrier came into operation on Thursday and is preventing delivery trucks from accessing businesses on O'Connell Street and Cook's Lane, as they have been doing since the arrival of Dunnes in Ennis in the early 1990s. Clare County Council says "the barrier was not sanctioned or erected by the Local Authority", while "pedestrian access is still being maintained at this location", and "any issues in respect of vehicle rights of way or access are considered to be civil matters". Clare FM's Seán Lyons was at Friday's demonstration and caught up with John O'Connor of Custys Music Shop.

In this encore episode, we highlight vitamin D₃ in gastrointestinal health, with a focus on intestinal barrier function and the gut-immune axis. We discuss how vitamin D is metabolized into its active form, 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D, and how 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D can support the intestinal mucosa, while highlighting the intestinal epithelium and immune cells in the lamina propria. Through this, we further detail the role of regulatory T cells in supporting immune balance and modulating immune function.Topics:1. Introduction - Highlighting intestinal barrier function and the gut-immune axis with a focus on vitamin D₃ 2. Vitamin D Synthesis and Metabolism - Skin and 7-dehydrocholesterol; dietary intake.- Transported through the bloodstream bound to vitamin D binding protein.- First hydroxylation in the liver to form 25-hydroxyvitamin D₃ (25(OH)D₃).- Testing.- Second hydroxylation in the kidney to form the active 1,25 dihydroxyvitamin D₃ (1,25(OH)₂D₃).- Local activation also occurs. 3. Intestinal Barrier Anatomy - The intestinal epithelium forms a selectively permeable monolayer that interfaces with the gut lumen.- Covered by a mucus layer: mucins, antimicrobial peptides, secretory IgA.- Mucus layer provides physical and biochemical protection.- Tight junction proteins and paracellular permeability.- Molecules crossing the epithelium. - Disruption of tight junctions, immune cell exposure to luminal contents.- The lamina propria and Gut-Associated Lymphoid Tissue (GALT). - Maintaining tolerance while defending against pathogens.  4. Vitamin D's Role in Barrier Support and Immune Modulation - 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D₃, tight junction integrity, immune regulation, and more.- Regulatory T Cells (Tregs) and immune balance.   5. Vitamin D₂ and D₃- D₃ (cholecalciferol) is more biologically effective and binds DBP more strongly.  6. Vitamin D Levels - Levels observed in autoimmune conditions, IBS, and more.- Symptoms.- Insufficient and excessive levels of vitamin D can be detrimental.- Multi-system.  7. Conclusion - Multifactorial: Numerous factors regulate vitamin D levels.- Gastrointestinal health root cause approach.Thanks for tuning in!Get Chloe's Book Today!

The Halacha below was derived from multiple classes orated by Rabbi Eli Mansour in the Bekiim B'Halacha series. Click on any of the dates below to hear the original audio files, which are the sources for today's Halacha below. 04/15/25 ; 04/16/25 ; 04/23/25 ; 04/24/25 ; 05/13/25 Does Hair, Dirt, or Clothing Count as a Barrier (Hatssitsa) Between the Tefillin and the Body? The Misva of wearing Tefillin requires the box (Bayit) of the Tefillin Shel Yad to be placed directly upon the skin. The Halacha introduces the concept of Hatssitsa—a barrier that interferes between the Tefillin and the arm. This Halacha explores what is considered a Hatssitsa, what kinds of materials invalidate the Misva, and how one should prepare the arm and head before wearing Tefillin to ensure full compliance. Does the Tefillin Shel Yad Need to Touch the Skin Directly? Yes. The Shulhan Aruch (Orah Haim 27:4) states clearly that the Bayit of the Tefillin Shel Yad must rest directly on the skin, without any chatitsa (interruption) beneath it. This includes shirts, undershirts, sleeves, or even sweatbands. The retzuot (straps) may wrap over clothing, but the Bayit itself must not. If the Bayit is on top of a sleeve or bandage, the person has not fulfilled the Misva at all. It is as if the Tefillin were never worn. Is Hair Considered a Barrier? Hair is part of the body and is not considered a Hatssitsa. The Poskim clarify that normal arm or head hair does not interfere with the Misva. Even a full head of hair—curly, thick, or long—is not inherently problematic. However, the issue arises when the hair is matted down with gel, spray, or dirt. If a person uses strong hair gel that forms a hard crust, or if sweat causes the hair to stick together like a shield, then some Poskim consider that a potential barrier. The Halachic principle is: if the material is foreign and not naturally part of the body, and if it is something people would normally remove (like crusted gel or thick mud), then it could be considered a Hatssitsa. What About Hair Gel, Sweat, or Oil? This is a common question. Light gel that keeps hair in place but does not form a crust is generally permitted. If the gel is soft and pliable and does not act as a thick layer between the Bayit and the scalp, then one may place the Tefillin Shel Rosh over it. But if the gel hardens into a shell-like layer that creates a clear separation between the scalp and the Tefillin, that can be a problem. Similarly, sweat is not a problem unless it is mixed with something foreign—such as dried mud or blood. If the skin is sweaty or slightly oily, that is still considered skin. To avoid questions, it's best to wash or wipe the forehead before wearing Tefillin Shel Rosh, especially if a person has oily skin, applied lotion, or used hair products. What About Bandages, Gauze, or Wounds? If there is a bandage on the arm or forehead, that does count as a Hatssitsa. In such cases, the person must try to remove the bandage or find a way to position the Bayit on clean, uncovered skin. If there is a wound, and removing the bandage would cause pain or bleeding, and there is no area to place the Tefillin properly, then one is exempt from the Misva of the Tefillin Shel Yad for that day. However, he should still wear the Tefillin Shel Rosh, assuming the head is unaffected. If only part of the bicep is covered, and there is still enough exposed skin to place the Bayit, then he may proceed and fulfill the Misva. Can a Sleeve Be Pulled Over the Arm After Tefillin Is Put On? Yes, after the Tefillin Shel Yad is in place and the Beracha has been recited, one may pull a sleeve over the arm to keep warm or to keep the Tefillin hidden. However, this is not ideal. Many have the custom to leave the Tefillin exposed, at least partially, as a sign of pride and public sanctification. But if a person is cold or concerned for safety (such as walking in public), it is permissible to cover the Tefillin after the fact. Just make sure the Tefillin was placed directly on the skin to begin with. What If the Retzuah Is Twisted or Touches Clothing? The strap (retzuah) may touch clothing or twist slightly along the arm. This is not a problem. The requirement for direct skin contact applies only to the Bayit—not the strap. However, if the knot of the Tefillin is wrapped in a way that causes the Bayit to be lifted off the skin or sit at an angle, that can be a problem. The Tefillin must sit flush with the arm or head. Summary - The Bayit of the Tefillin Shel Yad must rest directly on the skin, with no barrier. - Hair is not a problem unless hardened by thick gel or dirt that creates a crust. - Sweat or light oil does not invalidate the Misva. - Bandages are a Hatssitsa and must be removed, unless medically necessary. - A person may cover the Tefillin with clothing after they are properly placed. - The strap may touch clothing; only the Bayit requires direct contact with the skin.

In this powerful episode of Nurses Uncorked, Nurse Erica sits down with legendary nurse educator and activist Dr. Laura Gasparis Vonfrolio RN, PhD for an unfiltered conversation about nursing, activism, and legacy. Laura opens up about her turbulent exit from the bedside during the early days of the pandemic, the harsh reality of workplace retaliation, and how she fought back when most nurses felt silenced. She discusses her inspiring education journey from ADN to PhD, the controversy around use of the title "Doctor" as a nurse, and why she refused to teach virtually during COVID. Laura also reflects on the seismic shifts in nursing culture over the last 30 years and the barriers that still prevent nurses from advocating for themselves. We revisit the iconic 1995 nurse march on Washington DC, which Laura organized before the internet era—mobilizing over 35,000 nurses to demand better staffing ratios and workplace protections. She details how it felt to stand on the Capitol steps as the voice of an entire profession. Laura also weighs in on the failed 2022 National Nurses March, offering a candid look at why it fell short and what the future of nursing activism requires. From unionization to continuing education, and the mass exodus of new nurses, this episode is a must-watch for anyone passionate about the profession. #truecrime #callherdaddy #activist Sponsors: Thank you to our sponsor, Stink Balm Odor Blocker!

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In this episode, Dr. Sarah Smith is joined by Dr. Vanessa Kustec, a family physician from Ontario with a passion for personal development and sustainable practice. Dr. Kustec shares her candid journey through the highs and lows of medicine—from taking on an overwhelming workload and reaching a breaking point during the pandemic, to discovering mindset coaching and reclaiming her time, energy, and joy both inside and outside the clinic. Tune in as Dr. Kustec opens up about the realities of burnout, the importance of setting boundaries, and the transformative power of reprogramming your mindset. She discusses concrete steps for saying no, prioritizing what truly matters, and reshaping both your professional and personal life—proving you don't have to abandon your career to find fulfillment. Whether you're feeling overwhelmed or simply ready to put more life back into your days, this conversation is packed with practical strategies and inspiring stories to help you create a more sustainable, joyful approach to medicine. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Prioritize YOU, Not Just Your Patients: Kustec realized that saying yes to everything led to severe burnout and personal sacrifice. She flipped the script by learning to prioritize her own needs—without guilt—so she could bring her best self to both medicine and life. Small Changes = Major Impact: You don't need a drastic overhaul to see results. Whether it's carving out just five extra minutes in your day, cutting unnecessary meetings, or handing off responsibilities, every little bit lightens the load and gives you space to thrive. Rewrite Your Inner Narrative: Through mindset work and coaching, Dr. Kustec changed her deeply ingrained beliefs about “not being enough.” She even wrote a new life script and practiced affirming it daily—leading not only to a more sustainable practice, but also meeting her life partner, starting a family, and rediscovering joy outside the clinic. Meet Dr. Vanessa Kustec: Originally from Montreal, Dr. Kustec is currently a family physician in Stratford, Ontario where she lives with her husband and baby girl. She also works as a hospitalist and long-term care physician. Over the years, she's also held various administrative positions such as Chief Hospitalist at Stratford General Hospital, HPA Ontario Health Team Implementation Committee Physician Representative and the STAR Family Health Team Lead Physician. Her areas of interest include primary care, hospital medicine, long-term care, dermatology, and quality improvement, and she also enjoys teaching. Most recently, she pursues all this with a newly created work-life balance. She is now passionate about empowering others to do the same as a physician work-life balance coach. Her vision is for every doctor and healthcare worker to access coaching and acquire these vital skills, as they have the power to revolutionize our entire healthcare system. -------------- Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

Ever notice how that familiar routine you once loved suddenly feels like a prison? That's exactly what hit me this week as I found myself sweating in my garage, recording this episode while contemplating one of life's hardest truths: I've outgrown my comfort zone.After 13 years of entertaining crowds at Bentley Saloon's bike week—hosting pinup contests, DJing events, and building my brand—I faced an uncomfortable realization. What once felt like my safety net had transformed into a source of restlessness and anxiety. Despite the amazing memories, loyal customers, and friendships formed (including meeting my daughter's godparents!), something had shifted. That nagging feeling of boredom wasn't just fatigue; it was my inner voice screaming that it's time for change.The signs were everywhere. Declining attendance at motorcycle events mirrored my declining enthusiasm. I was stepping over dollars to pick up dimes, clinging to guaranteed income while missing bigger opportunities. My loyalty to familiar routines had become chains rather than support. This episode breaks down the telltale signs you've outgrown your comfort zone: boredom with once-loved activities, stagnation in skill development, fear of trying new things, and that strange anxiety that creeps in during familiar situations.Making this decision wasn't easy. Leaving behind guaranteed events means stepping into uncertainty. But growth demands discomfort. As I shared the vendor confrontation that ended with my now-infamous line "You want to help me? Get the f*ck out of my tent," I realized something profound—I'm ready for new challenges, new stages, and new opportunities to serve my business and family better.What security blankets are you clutching that might actually be holding you back? Remember, feeling restless about once-beloved activities isn't failure—it's evolution. Your potential exceeds your current circumstances, but only if you're brave enough to step into the unknown.
