What does it actually take to say yes in healthcare when the system is wired to say no? In this episode of The Disrupted Podcast, Scott takes you straight into the field — from a brand-new administrator in Marietta, Georgia who's already revolutionizing her building eight days in, to a 190-patient facility in Charleston where the real conversation isn't about hospice referrals, it's about whether you have the staff to back it up. Scott gets honest about the moments where healthcare organizations talk a big game but fold when it matters — refusing acute visits to non-panel patients, locking providers into rigid workflows, and hiring bodies instead of talent. He challenges all of it. And he does it with the kind of clarity that only comes from someone who's actually in the buildings, at the dinner tables, and on the phone doing the hard work every day. From a nurse who deserves a Tesla to a wristband that could change emergency response forever, this episode is packed with real stories, bold ideas, and a simple but radical belief: that getting to the yes isn't just good business — it's the whole point of healthcare. If you're a provider, administrator, nurse, or healthcare leader who's tired of the way things have always been done, this one's for you. www.YourHealth.Org

Dr. Smita Das is a board-certified psychiatrist specializing in addiction psychiatry and addiction medicine, and Clinical Associate Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford. With over 20 years of experience in clinical care, research, and leadership—including her role as VP of Psychiatry & Complex Care at Lyra Health—she's known for bringing nuance and compassion to how we talk about trauma and addiction. What sets her apart is how she addresses overlooked trauma, especially among high-functioning populations. She's been a leading voice in reframing motherhood—not just as joy, but as a potential mental health breaking point. Dr. Das explores how sleep deprivation, identity rupture, hormonal shifts, and the invisibility of caregiving pain can mirror complex trauma, challenging the notion that maternal crises are rare.In This EpisodeDr. Smita in Psychology TodayThe Science Behind RecoveryDr. Das on LinkedInBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-trauma-therapist--5739761/support.You can learn more about what I do here:The Trauma Therapist Newsletter: celebrates the people and voices in the mental health profession.

Send us a textIn this keynote discussion, Dr. Natasha Henner (Lurie Children's Hospital) examines how evolving reproductive policies are reshaping neonatal practice, from counseling at the limits of viability to supporting families after restrictive abortion laws. She discusses rising NICU admissions for infants with congenital differences, ethical tensions around “life-limiting” diagnoses, and gaps in perinatal hospice and home care resources. Dr. Henner emphasizes the need for shared frameworks among neonatologists, obstetricians, and palliative care teams, as well as simulation-based training to navigate moral distress and complex communication. Her call to action: welcome these difficult conversations to improve compassionate, coordinated family-centered care.Support the showAs always, feel free to send us questions, comments, or suggestions to our email: nicupodcast@gmail.com.

Monty Anderson's entire nursing career prepared him for where he was meant to be now: a Pediatric Hospice and Palliative Care nurse.  His time with psychiatric patients gave him valuable insight into the complex emotions of our fellow humans, his pediatric nursing experience taught him the developmental stages of children and family-centered care. As a Charge nurse, he became competent in decision-making and prioritization and as a Quality Improvement nurse, he developed his research skills and honed his attention to detail. And now, he's doing what he loves, using all of what nursing and life have taught him. In this interview, you'll hear Monty get emotional when he talks about the unimaginable, the death of a child and you'll discover what you can do right now to get into this fulfilling nursing specialty. In the five-minute snippet, “If I had a hammer, I'd hammer in the morning…" For Monty's bio and book recommendations, see the links below!

Dr. Hammerstedt is joined today by Dr. Stella K. Evans, MD to discuss complex care for children with disabilities and their caregivers. She talks about how she is the prime contact for the caregivers, and she helps navigate the best care through their health team. There are a few roadblocks that she wants parents to know about. She stresses that this is not the parent's fault and sticking with regret, fear and guilt will not move them forward to plan for the future. Also, it is alright to ask for help to find the best care for your children. And finally, always get another opinion if you don't feel like you are getting the care your child deserves.     Dr. Evans is a pediatrician in the Twin Cities of Minnesota with a long career in (and personal history with) care of the complex patient, especially in the family setting. She is a life coach,  neurolinguistic programming trainer, and clinical Ericksonian hypnotist, and she works with parents of children and youth with special health care needs to build their resilience and mental  health. It is her belief that no parent, ever, should have to lie awake at 3 am wondering if they've done the right thing. She can be found at www.facebook.com/Dr stellakevansmd and Instagram @the.garden.nlp  She is offering a free session of 1:1 coaching by scheduling at:  https://stellakevansmd.as.me/?appointmentType=17755799   Dr. Hammerstedt and her lifestyle coaching team can be found at www.wholisthealth.com and @wholisthealth on Facebook and Instagram as well as the Facebook group Curate Your Health.
