In this intimate snack episode, Miranda interviews Tracy about the power of community in healthcare practice management. Tracy shares why she believes the traditional approach of "going it alone" leads to burnout and how a community of practice model provides both practical business support and crucial emotional backing for healthcare entrepreneurs.  Key Highlights  The difference between community of practice and traditional networking - it's about taking off your masks and being raw  How isolation and solitude plague healthcare business owners, even those with great teams  The three-pronged challenge: full-time practitioner + practice owner + chief strategist roles  A real client story: discovering thousands in monthly losses due to double-billing text reminders  Why solo providers need creative business solutions while multi-provider practices need leadership focus  The value of 360-degree feedback systems for practice owners  How community support creates a sense of limitless possibility  Memorable Quotes  "When we feel as humans supported, we feel pretty limitless, like we can do anything."  "The blessing and curse of being a practice owner who's also a practitioner is pretty much working full time providing healthcare services and then the full time job as the practice owner."  "You get to take off your masks and just be yourself and be raw and talk about the hard stuff with other people who get it."  This episode reinforces why the Thriving Practice Community exists - to ensure healthcare providers have the support, systems, and community they need to build sustainable, thriving practices without sacrificing their well-being.  Miranda's Bio:  Miranda Dorta, B.F.A.

In this heartfelt episode of Father and Joe, hosts Joe Rockey and Father Boniface dissect the nuanced roles that faith and positivity play in our lives, encouraging us towards deeper relationships with God, others, and ourselves. Joe shares personal anecdotes emphasizing the extraordinary timing of certain connections in life, suggesting that these are more than mere coincidences. He explores the intricate web of trust and sense of purpose that comes with acting out of faith, whether in business or personal life, and how these experiences instill gratitude and joy.Father Boniface contributes his insights into the neurobiological benefits of positivity and gratitude, tying it back to the spiritual realm. He highlights how opening ourselves up to see divine intervention in what might seem like random occurrences can be liberating and enriching.The conversation then delves into the power of choice. They explore how choosing faith and optimism over cynicism can cultivate a sense of spiritual purpose. Through the lens of a child's innocent faith, Joe challenges listeners to “live like a child,” embracing trust, learning, and openness while aware of risks. Father Boniface emphasizes the communal nature of Christian faith, encouraging listeners to lend support to others, especially those trapped in negative spirals, exemplifying the Christian call to lift the downtrodden.The hosts acknowledge that this positive outlook isn't equally easy for everyone, recognizing that life's challenges can weigh heavy. They advocate for communal support and how minor choices can significantly influence our path towards a hopeful, faith-filled life.Listeners are left with actionable insights: to be mindful of their next choice, lean into opportunities for deeper, more meaningful relationships, and allow small decisions to steer them towards a life resonant with positivity and divine connection.

They are among New Zealand's lowest paid employees. The wages of home and community support workers, who look after the country's elderly, typically max out about $29 an hour. They also use their own vehicles to travel between jobs and, while they're reimbursed for that, it's at an amount significantly less than IRD recommends for personal vehicle use. The issue was part of a pay equity claim by the female dominated workforce, who consider themselves underpaid in comparison to those dominated by men. That's now off the table after the government changed the law last month. Jimmy Ellingham reports.

What happens when you're already drowning in chronic pain—and then life throws drywall, sawdust, and emotional chaos on top of it? In this episode, Lyndsay Soprano gets real about the mess behind the scenes: home renovation hell, relentless exhaustion, and the kind of stress that clings to your skin.This isn't a glamorized version of pushing through.

The power of community. The reminder that you are not your diagnosis. And the importance of setting boundaries that protect your peace—especially when life feels like a construction zone.This one's for anyone who feels like their body is breaking and their life is a little too chaotic to keep pretending everything's fine.Tune in if you're craving honesty, connection, and a little more room to breathe.Find The Pain Game Podcast Online Here:Website: thepaingamepodcast.comInstagram: @thepaingamepodcastFacebook: The Pain Game PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: The Pain Game PodcastEpisode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Chronic Pain and Trauma(02:38) Living with Chronic Pain: Personal Struggles(10:54) Coping Mechanisms and Strategies(16:57) Conclusion and Community Engagement

His approach goes beyond symptom relief—he focuses on root causes, guiding patients toward sustainable healing through mindfulness, nutrition, movement, and mindset shifts. Dr. Zand is also a recognized expert in ketamine-assisted therapy, utilizing sublingual ketamine treatments to help patients struggling with depression, anxiety, PTSD, and other mental health conditions.

He has been featured on leading mental health and business podcasts, sharing insights on holistic psychiatry, neuroplasticity, and emotional resilience.

Send me a text!How to Avoid Overwhelm and Access Joy in a Time of Change begins with recognizing our shared human struggle to maintain emotional equilibrium during turbulent periods. The journey involves understanding that our stress responses are natural support mechanisms, not personal failures, and learning to engage them with compassion and intentionality. By embracing our nervous system's signals and creating flexible, value-aligned routines, we can transform overwhelming experiences into opportunities for growth and self-discovery. Connecting with our inner landscape and broader ecosystems allows us to move beyond survival mode, accessing deeper reservoirs of resilience and joy that aren't dependent on external circumstances. This approach isn't about achieving some mythically perfect calm, but about cultivating a compassionate relationship with ourselves that honors our shared humanity and supports our capacity to show up authentically in a complex world. In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I explore how to avoid overwhelm and access joy in a time of change through embodied empowerment rather than toxic positivity. Some of what I explore in this episode includes:The difference between disassociating and self-careThe role of your stress response and how you can respond to it.Making space for rest and rechargingSchedule changes, to do lists, and creating routines that support youConnecting to an ecosystem for social change (because it can't just be you) LINKS TO EPISODES REFERENCED IN THIS EPISODE:7 Ways to Relax this Summer and BeyondHow to Create a Schedule that Works for YouEmbracing Periods of Reflection LINKS TO REFERENCES MADE IN THIS EPISODE:Valarie Kaur speech clip on InstagramSocial Change Now: A Guide for Reflection and Connection by Deepa IyerDeepa Iyer Substack article: Grieve, Connect, Act, Reflect, Correct.

In this heartwarming episode of "Father and Joe," host Joe Rockey expresses deep gratitude to Father Boniface for the profound impact he's had on his personal life and spiritual journey. The episode opens with a sincere acknowledgment of Father Boniface's influence, which has extended over the years from personal advice to naming Joe's new son after him, signifying the deep respect and admiration Joe holds for Father Boniface.Throughout their engaging discussion, Joe reflects on the seven-year journey since the podcast began.

He reminds listeners of the communal aspect of faith, encouraging those who have extra to extend help to those who may be struggling to foster such relationships.Joe complements this with an insightful thought experiment that encourages listeners to rethink past situations and relationships, aiming to open their hearts and minds to love.

They also highlight the importance of continually trying new things, making small improvements, and the necessity of patience and support in spiritual growth.The dynamic between Joe and Father Boniface, illustrated through this heartfelt conversation, showcases the central theme of Father and Joe: fostering connections with oneself, others, and God.
