In this episode of the Fund The People Podcast, you'll get an inside view of one foundation's journey to investing in healthy nonprofit executive transitions - and helping other funders to do the same. Host Rusty Stahl sits down withLiz Sak, Executive Director ofCricket Island Foundation, andHana Sun, a consultant who manages the Foundation's Leadership Transition Fund. They discuss Cricket Island Foundation's approach to supporting nonprofit leadership transitions, particularly for small, grassroots organizations focused on youth organizing. The foundation provides three-year grants of $45,000 per year to help organizations navigate the before, during, and after phases of executive transitions.Often funders unintentionally create barriers to healthy grantee leadership transitions, with many nonprofit leaders hesitant to openly discuss their plans to leave due to fears of lost or postponed funding. Cricket Island Foundation addressed this by publicly signaling their supportive stance toward transitions, creating a firewall between the foundation and grantees through an external consultant, establishing peer-learning cohorts for transitioning leaders, and developing resources for both nonprofits and funders through the Leading Forward initiative.The discussion emphasizes that successful transitions require long-term planning, adequate resources, and a supportive funding ecosystem. We also talk about the importance of normalizing conversations about transitions and creating safe spaces for leaders to explore their future plans.Resources:Cricket IslandLeading Forward Leadership Learning CommunityBuilding Movement Project “Could Term Limits for Nonprofit Leaders Ease the Burnout Crisis?” by Chitra Aiyar,Chronicle of Philanthropy, Jan. 7, 2025“Supporting Nonprofit Leadership Transitions: A Foundation's Journey” July 2024ciftransitions@gmail.comLiz SakLiz Sak became the second Executive Director of the Cricket Island Foundation in 2008, overseeing all aspects of the Foundation's management including finance, program development, grantmaking, and field-building.Prior to joining the foundation, Liz spent more than two decades running non-profit organizations.

Stephen Ferrara, DNP, president of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners and associate dean for AI at Columbia University School of Nursing, offers a deep dive into the tech and its role with NPs. He also presents an AI/wearables use case.

Today, we're exploring a topic that has impacted so many people around the world, including some of my closest friends and students. I'll admit that I didn't know much about IVF, as I haven't had personal experience with it, so I set out to learn more. Interestingly, my cousin is an expert on the subject, and one day shared with me about the the history of IVF and the globalization and the technology behind it. From that point on, I knew I had to have her on the podcast! Today on Yoga | Birth | Babies, I have Dr. Donna J. Drucker. Donna is the assistant director of scholarship and research development at the Columbia University School of Nursing. She has a master of library science degree and a PhD in history, both from Indiana University. She is the author of four books and many articles and shorter publications, and has a fifth book on abortion under contract. While many of us know the outcome that we're hoping for with IVF, and perhaps a bit about the procedures involved, Donna shares insight on aspects such as the donors, the surrogacy, the laws, and so much more. We also talk about how race and appearance generally factor into decision-making, along with many other things I had not thought about. I am really excited for you to hear Donna's perspective on IVF as a researcher in this field.

Are you overwhelmed by the whirlwind of emotions that come with infertility? Today, we welcome Sarah Geissah, a Columbia University School of Social Work graduate, to explore the transformative power of somatic therapy. Sarah explains how this bottom-up approach, focusing on bodily sensations before thoughts, can ground you during stressful times. She contrasts it with traditional cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) and highlights its benefits in dealing with anxiety and emotional distress before sharing practical self-soothing techniques and grounding exercises. She explains how these tools can help you process emotions, reconnect with your body, and find solace amid the challenges of infertility. Sarah also discusses the importance of acknowledging and validating all feelings, from joy to sadness, and how somatic practices can be applied to everyday life. Tune in to learn how to embrace your emotions, foster self-compassion, and navigate the infertility journey with grace and resilience. 

Nurse practitioners, at 385,000 strong in the U.S., are increasingly seen as a key part of the solution to the primary care provider shortage. What are the challenges and opportunities to ensure everyone can get the care they need when they need it? Our guest is the president of the American Association of Nurse Practitioners, Stephen Ferrara, DNP. He also serves as the inaugural associate dean of artificial intelligence and a professor of nursing at the Columbia University School of Nursing.Hosts Mark Masselli and Margaret Flinter (who has been a family nurse practitioner for many years) discuss the opportunities for Ferrara and his members as they seek to expand what's called “scope of practice.” In fact, the percentage of medical visits handled by health care providers other than physicians nearly doubled between 2013 and 2019, with many of those patients seen by nurse practitioners.

This event was the launch of 'Making Sense of the Arab State' edited by Steven Heydemann & Marc Lynch, and published by University of Michigan Press. No region in the world has been more hostile to democracy, more dominated by military and security institutions, or weaker on economic development and inclusive governance than the Middle East. Why have Arab states been so oppressively strong in some areas but so devastatingly weak in others? How do those patterns affect politics, economics, and society across the region? The state stands at the centre of the analysis of politics in the Middle East, but has rarely been the primary focus of systematic theoretical analysis. 'Making Sense of the Arab State' brings together top scholars from diverse theoretical orientations to address some of the most critically important questions facing the region today. The authors grapple with enduring questions such as the uneven development of state capacity, the failures of developmentalism and governance, the centrality of regime security and survival concerns, the excesses of surveillance and control, and the increasing personalisation of power. Meet the speakers Lisa Anderson is Special Lecturer and James T. Shotwell Professor of International Relations Emerita at the Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs. Anderson's scholarly research has included work on state formation in the Middle East and North Africa; on regime change and democratisation in developing countries; and on social science, academic research and public policy both in the United States and around the world. Steven Heydemann is Ketcham Chair in Middle East Studies, Professor of Government, and Director of the Middle East Studies Program at Smith College. Heydemann is a political scientist who specializes in the comparative politics and the political economy of the Middle East. His interests include authoritarian governance, economic development, social policy, political and economic reform, and civil society. Salwa Ismail is a Professor of Politics, with a focus on the Middle East, at SOAS University of London. She is a member of the London Middle East Institute and the Center for Palestine Studies. She has authored multiple books, including 'The Rule of Violence: Subjectivity, Memory and Government in Syria' (2018); 'Political Life in Cairo's New Quarters: Encountering the Everyday State' (2006) and 'Rethinking Islamist Politics: Culture, the State and Islamism' (2003). Marc Lynch is Professor of Political Science and International Affairs at George Washington University Elliott School of International Affairs; Director of the Project on Middle East Political Science (POMEPS); and Director of M.A. Middle East Studies.

This event will be chaired by Toby Dodge. Toby Dodge is a Professor in the Department of International Relations, LSE. He is also Kuwait Professor and Director of the Kuwait Programme, Middle East Centre. Toby's research concentrates on the evolution of the post-colonial state in the international system. The main focus of this work on the developing world is the state in the Middle East, specifically Iraq.

“Among the growing effects of the climate crisis, the evolution of hurricanes is one of the more immediate and destructive.” Our oceans are warming. Superstorms are intensifying. In Porter Fox's new book, the accelerating danger resulting from these two realities of the climate crisis is on full display. And Fox is no stranger to the ocean - as a longtime sailor and decades-long climate writer, he literally confronts deadly storms in his reporting. Now, with latest book, Category Five, Superstorms and the Warming Oceans that Feed Them, he's unpacking what he's heard from scientists and explorers alike to mark the changes we've already seen with oceans and superstorms and what's in store as warming accelerates. He joins this week to talk about the damage we're seeing from natural disasters, the disparity in disaster responses, and why he wanted to combine memoir and climate science for this book.  Porter Fox is a writer and author of books like The Last Winter and Northland. He writes and edits the award-winning literary travel writing journal Nowhere, teaches at Columbia University School of the Arts and is a MacDowell Fellow.  Read Category Five, Superstorms and the Warming Oceans that Feed Them As always, follow us @climatepod on Twitter and email us at theclimatepod@gmail.com.

On today's show we talk with journalists, activists, and political commentators, Liza Featherstone and Doug Henwood about the recent Presidential elections. We try to make sense of the fact that a convicted felon, proud misogynist, outright racist, authoritarian figure, and known liar whose first term put nearly all those characteristics on display for four years, will be the most powerful person in the world again. Much of our discussion takes the Democratic party, and Kamala Harris in particular, to task, for proving once again that it is entirely beholden to the donor class, and incapable of recognizing the immense suffering, alienation, and cynicism of much of the United States.  We pay particular attention to exactly those things Harris chose not to emphasize—the economy, Gaza, and climate change.  We end by trying to see what kinds of progressive possibilities might be nurtured, and how we can lean on each other in the next several years.Liza Featherstone is the author of Divining Desire: Focus Groups and the Culture of Consultation, published by O/R Books in 2018, as well as Selling Women Short: the Landmark Battle for Workers' Rights at Walmart (Basic Books, 2004).  She co-authored Students Against Sweatshops (Verso, 2002) and is editor of False Choices: the Faux Feminism of Hillary Rodham Clinton (Verso, 2016). She's currently editing a collection of Alexandra Kollontai 's work for O/R Books and International Publishers and writing the introduction to that volume.Featherstone's work has been published in Lux, TV Guide, The New York Times, The Washington Post, Ms., the American Prospect, Columbia Journalism Review, Glamour, Teen Vogue, Dissent, the Guardian, In These Times, and many other publications. Liza teachers at NYU 's Literary Reportage Program as well as at Columbia University School for International and Public Affairs. She is proud to be an active member of the New York City Democratic Socialists of America and of UAW local 7902. Doug Henwood is a Brooklyn-based journalist and broadcaster specializing in economics and politics.

OpenAI is releasing an artificial intelligence infrastructure blueprint meant to highlight its vision for American AI, which the company argues will boost productivity and jumpstart advanced technology development. The release of the blueprint, which was viewed by FedScoop and was set to be presented in Washington on Wednesday, comes as the Biden administration continues to push for government support for data centers, artificial intelligence, and semiconductors. At the same time, the government's approach to AI is still taking shape — and companies like OpenAI are using the opportunity to advocate for policies that would make way for infrastructure and energy projects that would benefit them. On the same day outgoing President Joe Biden met with President-elect Donald Trump to discuss the transition between them, a top White House cyber official made some recommendations for early cyber priorities for the incoming administration. In its first 100 days, the Trump administration should build a framework for minimum cybersecurity standards for critical infrastructure companies, establish cybersecurity grants for those in need and deepen international partnerships, said Anne Neuberger, Biden's deputy national security adviser for cyber and emerging technology. Neuberger offered those suggestions at an event Wednesday hosted by the Columbia University School of International and Public Affairs in what she called the bipartisan tradition of cybersecurity, having received “the baton” from the prior administrations and passing it on in a world of threats heavily dominated by China, ransomware and artificial intelligence.

This show is going to be a little bit different because what we're going to do today is offer some advice to those who may work at a pharma company. But before we get into this advice portion of the discussion, let's start here. For a full transcript of this episode, click here. If you enjoy this podcast, be sure to subscribe to the free weekly newsletter to be a member of the Relentless Tribe. Probably we're gonna have people listening to this episode who maybe are not in our normal tribe of Relentless Health Value listeners. While there are, for sure, regular listeners who work at pharma companies, there might be some newbies on the scene here. And to you, I say welcome. I hope that you feel right at home here. You know what, though? Many of us, including myself often enough, are slightly uncomfortable. Because this is the place where we all kind of look at ourselves in the mirror. We all live in glass houses, after all—everyone in the healthcare industry. There's no devils and no angels here. And the trick is maximizing the good and minimizing the not so good so that we all wind up with the highest net positive possible for patients. So, around here, we do not shy away from saying what needs to be said so that we all can find a way forward to serve the patient. We cannot solve problems, after all, that we have not taken a cold, hard look at. Yeah. So, today I am speaking with Brian Reid. I have been very much looking forward to speaking with Brian Reid, who many may know from his really great newsletter and really insightful LinkedIn posts. Brian Reid's advice, which he delivers in the episode that follows in sum. Spoiler alert here, but I also will say that he is much more eloquent than me, and the nuances are a thing. So, please do listen to the whole show. But Brian's piece of advice number one for Pharma (and really any product or service frankly), but piece of advice number one is this: Get a really solid bead on what value means—not just to PBMs (pharmacy benefit managers) or contract pharmacies or wholesalers who are middlemen but to the ultimate purchasers, the ones whose wallets the money is actually coming out of to pay the bill. Meaning, plan sponsors, such as self-insured employers or unions, patients themselves or members, and taxpayers. Again, how does value accrue to the ultimate purchasers like plan sponsors, patients/members, or taxpayers? Everybody else in the drug supply chain, let's be clear, is in the middle pushing money around that came out of somebody else's wallet. These middlemen have their own interests that may, for sure, may or may not be aligned with the interests of the ultimate purchasers. Getting value realized by patients will depend on understanding what the value is to these ultimate purchasers and then not getting derailed by any middleman who may not be so aligned. As a sidebar on this number one piece of advice, the whole “what's your value” and influence coloring this value equation made by ultimate purchasers is the prevailing beliefs of these ultimate purchasers, relative to Pharma, how they perceive the pharma industry. Whether it's earned or not—and this is not what we're gonna discuss today—but earned or not, Pharma does not have a great reputation with these folks right now. And this matters. Brian has a lot to say on this topic, which is fascinating. So, you should listen. Number two piece of advice that Brian Reid delivers in the podcast that follows that we talk about: Consider inching into the fray around benefit design. Rightfully so, there's always a lot of talk about patient affordability at pharma companies; but if I was gonna point to one thing that impacts affordability more than anything else, it'd be benefit design. There's only a small, underfunded cadre right now of folks out there (Mark Cuban aside, actually); but there's only a really small number of folks who never have any money who are really helping plan sponsors understand the impact on patients of some of the choices that they are making. I mean, personally, I could think of 10 things to do right off the top of my head that could help plan sponsors not get inadvertently screwed in this realm alone, just thinking they're saving money when, in reality, they are harming patients and not saving money. There's probably a lot of opportunities to communicate these kinds of things that are really win-win collaborations. Number three piece of advice that we talk about in the conversation that follows with Brian Reid: Keep an eye on hospital consolidation and vertical integration in the payer space. Consolidation raises prices and impedes patient affordability. This is as per study after study after study. Consolidation raises prices and sometimes considerably. Here's a part B to this third piece of advice about consolidation. There's sometimes wild swings in prices at different large, consolidated health systems in the exact same geography. Listen to the show with Cora Opsahl (EP452) for more about how their health plan, as just one example, saved $30 million a year just pushing a huge expensive health system, consolidated one, out of their network and navigating patients to more affordable sites of care. This matters to pharma companies because hospital system prices are currently crushing in many areas of the country, really impacting patient affordability. But there are better or worse options from an affordability standpoint in some of these geographies. To state the obvious, if an infusion of the same drug costs 10 times more if a patient shows up in one care setting versus another, that latter place, not affordable for patients. And by the way, that is not hyperbole of any kind. There are plenty of examples where literally an infusion of the same drug, same dosage will cost 10 times more if a patient goes one place versus another. But, again, it's not affordable. The patient cost share might be 10 times higher if it's coinsurance, if the patient goes to that latter place. And that latter 10x more of the cost place also just added 10x the cost to the PAP program or the foundation debit column. All of this is really relevant to Pharma. And just to pile on here because now I'm on a roll, another reason why this matters, these striking price variations between care settings, if we're talking about product value, and if the price the patient or the plan sponsor is paying is 10x the cost of the ingredients, nobody's doing that math and separating out the cost of ingredients from the, you know, total cost of the infusion. It is one lump sum number. So, if we're defining value as outcomes divided by cost and now the cost to the plan sponsor is 10x, product value just got reduced by 10x. Just in case anyone is confused here, and you probably know this, but many forget that the whole ASP (average selling price) plus 6% provider reimbursement—so, if that's what you're thinking and you're wondering how the 10x transpires—that ASP plus 6% provider reimbursement is only for Medicare kinds of plans. Hospitals can and do negotiate much higher reimbursements for commercial plans, and those carriers that have commercial lines of business and also MA (Medicare Advantage) books of business even allegedly actually negotiate higher commercial reimbursements so that they can get lower Medicare Advantage rates. Right, and you can see why, because the MA dollars are coming out of their own capitated pockets, whereas the commercial rates are being paid for by the ultimate purchasers, the plan sponsors.

Welcome to this episode of Diverse Thinking Different Learning, where we dive into a topic that is of growing interest to parents and caregivers of children and adolescents with ADHD: integrative treatments for ADHD symptoms. Today's guest, Sara Langley, is an expert in Nutritional Psychiatry and will share valuable insights on how diet and integrative approaches can complement traditional ADHD treatments. ADHD is the most searched topic on ChildNEXUS, and our episodes on ADHD are among the most downloaded. It's clear that parents and caregivers are eager to learn about different options to support their children, and this episode is packed with useful information. Sara specializes in how diet can impact mood and behavior, and she offers practical advice on where to begin. She suggests some starting points, but acknowledges that making dietary changes can feel overwhelming, so she shares helpful tips for parents on how to start small and build from there. Throughout the episode, Sara discusses the common challenges faced by children with ADHD and the supplements that can help. While she emphasizes that nutrition isn't a “cure” for a problem, it is an important piece of the puzzle. Sara also highlights the strong connection between the gut and brain and how addressing this can benefit not only ADHD symptoms but overall well-being. If you're looking for new ways to support your child or simply curious about how integrative approaches can complement traditional treatments, you won't want to miss this episode!   Show Notes: [3:16] - Sara specializes in Nutritional Psychiatry, which is about how diet can impact mood and behavior. [5:16] - One good starting place that Sara recommends is to start integrating probiotics. [6:28] - Supplements are commonly asked about by parents of children with ADHD and there are several that could benefit as an addition to a vitamin rich diet. [9:17] - A lot of time, we cannot get the full nutritional benefit from the food we eat due to different factors. [10:43] - It can be very overwhelming to parents to make dietary changes. Sara gives some tips on where to start. [12:30] - Generally, children with ADHD have trouble falling asleep. There are supplements that can help with this as well. [13:53] - Nutrition is part of a puzzle. It isn't a “cure”. [17:18] - Working with a mental health professional or pediatrician can help guide a parent in choosing the right things for their child. [18:40] - There is a connection between the gut and the brain. [22:31] - It is tricky for many parents to make dietary changes due to the pickiness of their child as an eater and their need for quick dopamine through snacking. [23:47] - Some parents are seeking something different from medication. [25:59] - This integrative approach benefits more than ADHD symptoms.   About Our Guest: Sara Langley is a dedicated Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner who specializes in treating children and adolescents with brain-based medical conditions.

So, you've got to be thinking about, If I am blessed to be highly compensated, what am I doing to convert that high W2 income into appreciating assets that are going to contribute to the creation of generational wealth.” - Clive Davis “When I talk about generational wealth, I'm talking about impacting my not yet conceived grandchildren. So, I already know my kids are going to be fine, but I'm talking about leaving something that my grandchildren, who may or may not come to know me, they will be fine based upon the foundation that I've set for them.” - Clive Davis “I wanted them (my kids) to have the privilege to be able to select the thing that they are truly passionate about. I think you should give your children all the privilege that you you're able to and you're blessed to.” - Clive Davis Connect with Clive!

Un adevărat monstru sacru al teatrului universal - regizorul Andrei Șerban – ne deschide o fereastră către legătura uitată cu divinul din noi.La doar 25 de ani a ajuns să se lupte pentru recunoaștere în New York. Reîntors în țară imediat după revoluție, s-a simțit nedorit de societatea românească. ‚Nu am călcat 32 de ani în Teatrul Național', se destăinuie cel care, gonit atunci de scena românească, a devenit profesor de artă teatrală la Columbia University School of Arts, timp de aproape trei decenii! O poziție la care a renunțat pentru a nu renunța la propriile crezuri. ‚Cancel culture și politica corectitudinii îmi amintesc de bolșevism', atrage atentia omul care a renunțat să mai lucreze în SUA, neregăsindu-se în nebunia care a cuprins societatea americană în ultimii ani.Nu a renunțat însă la teatru și își trăiește a doua tinerețe pe scenele românești, unde  încearcă să combată întunericul care ne împresoară prin artă, prin regăsirea legăturii noastre cu divinul, cu sacrul din noi. Adică să învie rolul primordial al teatrului, să trezească în noi conștiința.Descoperă gândirea altfel a unui om care caută constant legătura noastră ancestrală, organică, cu spiritualul. La Fain & Simplu, cu Mihai Morar.

Every aspect of life in our society is lived on the hard-edge of racial hierarchy and class division—and the American way of birth is no exception. Black maternal mortality is 69.9 per 100,000 live births, nearly 3 times the rate of white women—and that's only part of the story. We're delighted to be meeting up at Pilsen Community Books with my magnificent sister-in-law, Jennifer Dohrn—a legendary midwife in New York, and a professor and Assistant Dean of the Office of Global Initiatives at Columbia University School of Nursing—for a discussion focused on her new book Mothers, Midwives and Reimagining Birthing in the Bronx. Jennifer initiated the first freestanding maternity center in an inner-city in the US, and she has been extensively involved in women's health issues both here and internationally, notably in Sub-Saharan Africa and the Global South. Her book is an oral history of her ground-breaking center, as well as a deep dive into the racialized nature of maternal health care and a rousing cry for change.

In a global comparison, the United States ranks poorly in key quality-of-life measures like longevity, preventable illnesses, and maternal and infant mortality. Despite its status, the nation grapples with high rates of chronic diseases and alarming per capita suicide figures. It's clear that significant changes are needed to address these pressing concerns. In this episode, Dr. Graham Taylor speaks with Dr. Lloyd Sederer. Lloyd, an Adjunct Professor at Columbia University School of Public Health, brings extensive experience in mental health leadership. With roles including Chief Medical Officer at the NYS Office of Mental Health and NYC's Mental Health Commissioner, as well as leadership positions at the American Psychiatric Association and Harvard's McLean Hospital, Lloyd has spearheaded significant mental health responses to events like 9/11 and Hurricane Sandy. He boasts a prolific publication record and founded Columbia Psychiatry Media, producing expert content for national platforms. Today, we're thrilled to have Lloyd join us to discuss American Healthcare and his latest book, “Caught in the Crosshairs of American Healthcare”.

Introducing The Attack on Black History, with Nikole Hannah-Jones and Jelani Cobb from The New Yorker Radio Hour.Follow the show: The New Yorker Radio HourAcross much of the country, Republican officials are reaching into K-12 classrooms and universities alike to exert control over what can be taught. In Florida, Texas, and many other states, laws now restrict teaching historical facts about race and racism. Book challenges and bans are surging. Public universities are seeing political meddling in the tenure process. Advocates of these measures say, in effect, that education must emphasize only the positive aspects of American history. Nikole Hannah-Jones, the New York Times Magazine reporter who developed the 1619 Project, and Jelani Cobb, the dean of the Columbia University School of Journalism, talk with David Remnick about the changing climate for intellectual freedom. “I just think it's rich,” Hannah-Jones says, “that the people who say they are opposing indoctrination are in fact saying that curricula must be patriotic.” She adds, “You don't ban books, you don't ban curriculum, you don't ban the teaching of ideas, just to do it. You do it to control what we are able to understand and think about and imagine for our society.” DISCLAIMER: Please note, this is an independent podcast episode not affiliated with, endorsed by, or produced in conjunction with the host podcast feed or any of its media entities.

Have you considered using midwifery care for your birth?  Perhaps you have questions about what a midwife does or how they differ from a traditional OBGYN.  Today we are going to talk all about midwives.  I think midwives are fantastic, they hold a special place in my heart because my own births were attended by a midwife.  In this conversation we will dive deeper into the midwifery model of care.  What is a midwife?  What are some misconceptions around midwifery care?  How does midwifery differ from a more traditional OBGYN?  What is a midwife's involvement in labor and birth?  Who's a good candidate to work with a midwife?  We got you covered on so many topics about midwifery, if you had any doubt of what midwifery was, by the end of this conversation you will be crystal clear. Casey is full of passion and knowledge, I am really excited for you to hear her perspective and all her wonderful ideas!  To have this conversation, I have Casey Selzer joining us today on Yoga| Birth| Babies.  Casey Selzer, CNM, is a midwife with over 15 years of clinical experience.  She has worked in both private practice and public health care models including in hospital birth centers.  She has a passion for education and has served as adjunct faculty at the Columbia University School of Nursing.  Casey encourages parents to spend time in the third trimester building a birth team and a labor tool kit for a positive birth experience.  Nonetheless, she also stresses the importance of planning for the postpartum phase.  Although deciding what kind of birthing experience to have is imperative, she believes it is equally important to build a postpartum plan.  She encourages parents to consider what resources and support they will need to create a village for their family.  She mentions that this part of parenthood is often overlooked, however, she thinks it is critical for parents to build relationships and partnerships that will surround them with community.     Get the most out of each episode by checking out the show notes with links, resources and other related podcasts at: prenatalyogacenter.com  Don't forget to grab your FREE guide, 5 Simple Solutions to the Most Common Pregnancy Pains HERE  If you love what you've been listening to, please leave a rating and review!
