Podcasts about Denial

Dr. Karen Litzy sits down with Jennifer Burnham Grubbs, founder of Ionava, to unpack why traditional health insurance often penalizes healthy people instead of rewarding them. Jennifer draws on 21 years in the insurance industry to explain what she saw, why she built a new financial category, and how Ionava is designed to reward health-conscious behavior with greater flexibility and less friction. We discuss why healthy people often get poor value from insurance, how Ionava differs from HSAs, FSAs, and health sharing ministries, and how its wallet-based model is meant to make health financial preparedness more practical.   Key topics   Jennifer explains why she built Ionava after two decades as an insurance broker and consultant, including seeing denied coverage, surprise billing, and confusing utilization patterns firsthand. The episode explores the idea that healthy people often subsidize the system without getting a meaningful return, even when they follow preventive care recommendations. Karen and Jennifer compare traditional insurance with a "good driver discount" model, highlighting how insurance rarely rewards healthier behavior. Jennifer explains why Ionava is not health insurance or an HSA, but a new financial category built around health, financial preparedness, and wellness spending. The conversation covers how Ionava's wallet works, including how users can spend on qualifying health and wellness expenses, from gym memberships to supplements and cosmetic wellness categories. Jennifer contrasts Ionava with HSAs and FSAs, emphasizing that Ionava is funded through the subscription and is designed to roll over rather than expire. They also discuss health sharing ministries and why Ionava was built to be secular and broadly accessible rather than tied to religious attestation. Jennifer explains the health score quiz, how it helps price vaults, and why Ionava currently starts with the healthiest applicants to maintain actuarial discipline. The episode dives into pre-existing conditions, how current health status affects eligibility, and why some people may be asked to wait as the pool expands. Karen and Jennifer unpack how Ionava avoids the network and contracted-rate limitations that shape traditional insurance, including why cash-based purchasing offers more flexibility across states and even internationally.   Timestamps   00:00 - Why healthy people feel punished by the insurance system 01:13 - Jennifer's 21 years inside insurance and what she saw 02:40 - Denials, surprise bills, and the pain points that shaped Ionava 03:30 - Why there is no "good driver discount" for health 05:01 - Why most people never get their money's worth from insurance 06:18 - Preventive care that still triggers hidden costs 07:16 - The problem with opaque medical pricing 08:38 - Why innovation often falls outside traditional coverage 09:27 - Why Jennifer first tried to fix insurance from the inside 11:43 - The limits of claims help and out-of-network gaps 13:42 - Why the private sector had to build a new answer 14:15 - What "health financial preparedness" means 15:39 - Health as physical, mental, and financial readiness 16:41 - Why people still buy insurance even when they hate it 17:12 - Ionava as an alternative or layered financial strategy 18:28 - How Ionava differs from HSAs 20:20 - Why Ionava is more like a funded debit wallet 21:46 - What counts as a qualified spend 22:10 - Why FSAs can feel like a use-it-or-lose-it trap 23:34 - Why Ionava rolls over and rewards healthy behavior 24:17 - How Ionava differs from health sharing ministries 26:36 - Why the health score exists 27:34 - How vault pricing works and why rates are locked for life 29:01 - Optional biometrics and earning more on your wallet balance 30:29 - How Ionava thinks about pre-existing conditions 31:57 - Why some applicants may be asked to come back later 33:11 - Beauty, fitness, and wellness spending inside the wallet 34:37 - The support system for new users 36:15 - Why Ionava is different from reimbursement-based models 37:37 - How insurance networks and contracted rates really work 41:04 - Why Ionava uses cash pricing worldwide 42:39 - Jennifer's weekly wellness spend: supplements 43:18 - The biggest myth healthy people believe about insurance 43:47 - Why she wants HSAs to fund Ionava vaults 44:18 - Books that shaped her thinking: The Go Giver and Give and Take 46:10 - Gardening, herbs, and staying grounded while building a company 47:18 - Where to learn more about Ionava and reserve a vault   More About Jennifer:   Jennifer (Azar) Burnham-Grubbs, is the Founder and CEO of Quantum Insurance Services and the Founder of ionava.

Send us Fan MailThe hardest truth in a relationship is usually the one nobody is willing to say out loud. In this episode, we unpack the taboo reality of growth orientation in intimate partnerships, why a partner who will not grow alongside you eventually becomes the ceiling on your own life, and why denial, delusion, and distancing are the three ways most people avoid seeing it.We get into the narrative that says you are never supposed to judge your partner, and why that belief is quietly costing people decades. Judgment is not the problem. Unfair, harsh, and maladaptive judgment is. From there we look at what a partnership is actually for, whether it exists to reinforce who you already are or to challenge the growth edges of who you are becoming, and then break down the three specific areas where a non growth oriented partner holds you back: emotionally, socially, and psychologically.Here's a related episode that builds on today's conversation: #483 | How to Hold Two Truths at the Same Time - https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/evolve-ventures/id1511831621?i=1000752414280Learn more about:

August 21, 2026On August 21, 1831, Nat Turner led 70 enslaved and free Black Americans in a violent rebellion intended to awaken his white neighbors to the brutality of slaveholding, Responding to fears that educating slaves was dangerous, states across the South made it a crime to teach enslaved Americans to read and write, Denial of access to education read them out of society, The fledgling Republican Party passed the Land Grant College act that funded public universities, Andrew Johnson vetoed the bill, In 1954 the Supreme Court ruled that separate schools were inherently unequal and unconstitutional, When Ronald Reagan was elected he vowed to work for abolishing the Department of Education and to push tax dollars from public schools to private academies, Donald Trump's education secretary pushed to expand voucher programs, The claim was that vouchers would save money, but Arizona's biggest voucher program in the nation blew a hole in the state budget, In Texas a voucher program was passed into law, which will leave public schools across the state underfunded and closing, In Arizona the state supreme court ruled that opponents to a voucher program won't get a ballot measure in front of voters this fall, In 2026 it seems the intent is to exclude certain Americans from participation in the Enlightenment principles on which the nation was founded.  Watch today's recording here: https://www.youtube.com/live/g9TUa1Rwd6U?si=T8_KKcHQZElhpnZ-Get full, free access to Letters from an American here: https://heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribeYou can also find me:Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/hcrichardson.bsky.socialInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/heathercoxrichardson/?hl=enFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/heathercoxrichardson/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@heathercoxrichardson Get full access to Letters from an American at heathercoxrichardson.substack.com/subscribe

There's a moment that comes for many of us, often when we're at our most frustrated, convinced the source of our pain lies out there. Then something shifts. We start to see the patterns, how we deflect, how we carry judgments about who we are that we never questioned. David Fiala, a licensed therapist with more than 35 years in private practice, joins host Avik to talk about why self-forgiveness may be the most powerful tool we have, how denial, projection, and blame quietly protect old childhood pain, and what it actually looks like to practice letting that pain go. About the Guest: David Fiala, MSSA, LISW-S, is a licensed clinical social worker with more than 35 years of experience as a therapist, mind-body healer, and teacher. He is the author of The Courageous Seeker: Release Emotional Pain, Master Your Mind, and Wake Up to Your Inner Warrior. Key Takeaways: Self-forgiveness isn't a feel-good idea, it's a daily practice, and what you put in is what you get out. Denial, projection, and blame usually start in childhood, when pain felt so overwhelming that pushing it down felt like the only option. If you don't address your pain, David says, it will eventually address you, often through what triggers you today. Replacing the word "stress" with what you're actually feeling, fear, sadness, or anger, gives you real power to work with it. A short nightly practice, visualizing yourself extending forgiveness to your own pain, can create real change over time, even if it takes years.

-A South Carolina Senate candidate admits she gets stumped on Taiwan, then returns to explain herself—and Rob gives her credit for simply saying she doesn't know everything, which he contrasts with AOC before Sen. John Kennedy supplies the punch line by comparing the congresswoman to Kamala Harris “with more bartending experience.” -Fred Fleitz of the America First Policy Institute joins Rob to break down Trump's “economic D-Day” against Iran, arguing that sanctions and a blockade could deprive Tehran of hundreds of millions of dollars per day while economic pressure, internal unrest and energy alternatives squeeze the regime. The conversation also ranges through NATO, Ukraine and the possibility of eventual regime change in Iran. -The hour turns deeply personal when Rob shares encouraging news from his PET scan: no distant metastatic spread. After months of fear and uncertainty, he says he finally has a treatment battle plan, thanks listeners for an extraordinary outpouring of prayers and support, and declares that he's ready to fight.

Leave us a messge!!In this back catalog re-release of Krystine's FLR Podcast, I answer listener questions in an “Ask Me Anything” episode with my subbie joining me to give his side of the dynamic.This episode gets into some of the more intimate and honest parts of our female-led relationship, including forced bi, chastity, denial, release schedules, whether orgasms are reward-based or pleasure-based, and what the actual goal of chastity is in our relationship.I talk about the importance of communication, boundaries, and safe words, especially when you are dealing with fantasies or activities that push someone outside of their comfort zone. We also talk about how chastity is not just a game or a short-term challenge for us. It has become part of our lifestyle, our connection, and the quiet background of our dynamic.One of the biggest themes in this episode is that denial does not equal unhappiness. My husband is denied often, sometimes for long stretches of time, and he still describes this as the happiest time of his life. For us, chastity and denial are not about punishment alone. They are about connection, control, closeness, service, and reinforcing who leads and who follows.We also talk about why I like having my subbie on the podcast. A lot of my listeners are men, and I think hearing from someone who lives as a submissive husband every day can be helpful. At the heart of this episode is the same goal I have had from the beginning: to build a real community where people can ask questions, talk honestly, and feel less alone in this lifestyle.5 Talking PointsAsk Me Anything: real listener questionsI answer questions sent in by a listener, and my subbie joins me to offer his perspective as someone living this female-led dynamic every day.Forced bi, boundaries, and safe wordsI talk through the idea of forced bi, the difference between fantasy and actual consent, and why communication and safe words matter before stepping into anything that pushes comfort zones.Denial does not mean unhappinessWe talk openly about how often I deny my husband and how he can still be genuinely happy, fulfilled, and connected inside that denial.Chastity as lifestyle, not a short-term goalChastity is not really a challenge or temporary exercise for us. It has become part of our daily life, our bond, and the way our power exchange quietly exists in the background.Building a real FLR communityI talk about wanting my subbie on the podcast more often because many listeners are men who may benefit from hearing his side. This podcast is not just about us talking. It is about building community and helping people understand this lifestyle in a real way.To find that Audio versions of the FLR Skool courses, just click here.Or FLRSkool SubscribeSupport the showWant to keep this conversation going?Join us inside FLRSkool.com — where real couples are having real conversations about female-led relationships!

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima break down why Deshaun Watson has separated himself in the quarterback competition, with Ken arguing it comes down to experience and readiness rather than accuracy alone, and pushing back hard on fans who insist the decision must be coming from ownership rather than performance. They also debate whether Watson's newfound smiles and "best place I've ever been" comments at practice are genuine or an act to win over Todd Monken. Both agree Shedeur Sanders will likely still play plenty this season even if he loses the starting job out of camp.

Saving a loved one isn't about drama, ultimatums, or "fairness", it's about doing what actually works. In this episode, host Sharlee Dixon sits down with Amber Hollingsworth, Master Addiction Counselor, founder of the Hope For Families Method, and creator of the popular YouTube channel Put The Shovel Down. Amber built a global movement by rewriting the rules of recovery, showing families how to guide loved ones toward help without waiting for them to "hit bottom." Tune in as Sharlee and Amber unpack a radical, connection-first strategy: trading outdated stigmas for "invisible interventions," disarming denial, and protecting your own sanity while making real headway.   For more information about Put The Shovel Down, please visit:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT8PE1v0xFR9zLXOijxM6hg For more information about family intervention, please visit: https://www.familyrecoveryacademy.online/family For more information about the Denial Breakthrough Challenge, please visit: https://www.familyrecoveryacademy.online/motivation-unlocked-challenge For more information about online classes, please visit: https://www.familyrecoveryacademy.online/store Connect with the Family Recovery Academy On Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/hopeforfamilies On YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCT8PE1v0xFR9zLXOijxM6hg On Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/addictionrecoveryhope On X: https://x.com/addicthope

Go see a counselor. Go to a grief group. Then his son died, and David Kessler had to take his own advice. It took him three tries to walk through the door. Traffic. No parking. This shouldn't be happening to me. He finally sat down with other parents who had buried their children. On the table sat books about grief. His books. He couldn't be the author in that room. He had to be the father who lost a son. Denial came. So did acceptance. But acceptance felt like a floor, not a way through. So he went back to Viktor Frankl and found the thing that cracked it open.

Ken Carman and Anthony Lima debate whether it's time to write off the Guardians' playoff hopes, with Ken pushing back on being labeled "in denial" while acknowledging the team is five games under .500 and six back in the division with a month left. They compare it to their stance on the Browns' QB competition, conceding Todd Monken's insistence the job is still "open" feels similar to Kevin Stefanski's old coach-speak, and both lean toward Deshaun Watson having already won the job based on how camp and the joint practice schedule were set up.

Judge John Judge denied Bryan Kohberger's motion to dismiss the grand jury indictment that charged him with four counts of first-degree murder and one count of burglary in the November 2022 killings of Kaylee Goncalves, Madison Mogen, Xana Kernodle and Ethan Chapin. Kohberger's defense had argued that the indictment should be thrown out because prosecutors had presented insufficient evidence to establish probable cause and because the grand jury had allegedly been given improper or misleading instructions about the legal standard it was supposed to apply. The defense also challenged the manner in which evidence had been presented during the secret grand jury proceedings, contending that irregularities in the process undermined the validity of the indictment. Judge rejected those arguments, finding that prosecutors had presented sufficient evidence for the grand jury to determine that probable cause existed and that the proceedings did not contain errors serious enough to justify dismissing the charges.Judge also rejected the defense's contention that Idaho law required prosecutors to establish a higher standard of proof before an indictment could be returned. Kohberger's attorneys had argued that the grand jury should have been instructed under a standard closer to the one necessary to establish that a defendant was more likely than not guilty, rather than simply determining whether probable cause existed. Judge concluded that Idaho precedent did not support the defense's interpretation and that the grand jury had been properly instructed under the applicable law. The ruling represented an important defeat for Kohberger's defense because it preserved the indictment and allowed the prosecution to continue toward trial without having to return to a preliminary hearing or seek a new indictment. Judge's decision also reinforced that challenges to the ultimate strength of the prosecution's evidence were matters to be resolved at trial rather than grounds for eliminating the case at the indictment stage.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Summary In this episode, Andy sits down with Owen Fitzpatrick, a psychologist, speaker, and author of Inner Propaganda: Leading Hearts and Minds through Turbulent Times. Owen has spent close to 30 years studying how beliefs form and change, interviewing people everywhere from North Korea to Rwanda to Afghanistan. His thesis is unsettling: our brains do not simply take in facts and reach objective conclusions. They build a story we then experience as reality. Owen and Andy work through what that means on real projects. You'll hear how a warning from a colleague can quietly harden into a conviction about a teammate, and how Bayesian reasoning gives you a way out. You'll learn Owen's five types of truth, how to tell courageous conviction from dangerous denial, and what leaders can actually make stable when they cannot promise a stable outcome. Owen also explains why pushing harder for buy-in is often the very reason people resist, and how an antifragile identity helps teams face uncertainty like AI without denial or panic. If you're looking for a fresh way to think about belief, influence, and leading through turbulent times, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "We all live in that world where we think we're the one person that isn't the victim of propaganda, and my point or my thesis is we're all victims of our own inner propaganda." "We're not necessarily just convinced by others. We convince ourselves." "Because I think when we say, 'I'm no good at something,' we lock ourselves into it." "Well, if you're not great at communicating with people, get great." "Most of the time our beliefs just create a sort of a reality for us, and that reality can help us or harm us." "So our brains are prediction machines." "Whenever we talk about belief, believing in your ability to succeed in the future is critical if you want to succeed in the future, but that doesn't mean you deny the present." "It, it's not that we think negatively, it's we believe negatively, and we see the world through those lenses." "So I think we want to be able to challenge our beliefs and build a bit more and get more comfortable with uncertainty away from the table, but when we're at the table with our team, that's when we bring the certainty." "We like the idea that we are making this decision of our own free will." "And when you look at what a belief is, a belief is an idea we feel certain about, and that word feel is the most important word of that sentence." "It's okay to believe less in certain things. It's okay to believe more in certain things. It's okay to believe better."

We continue our journey through Likutey Moharan, Torah 4 — and this shiur goes to the heart of the Torah: vidui devarim lifnei talmid chacham, spoken admission before a talmid chacham.The Rebbe opens a door that sounds impossible: to taste Olam Haba in this world — to see Hashem everywhere, even in the dinim, even in the dark. The Gemara in Pesachim says that le'atid everything will be "kulo Hatov Vehametiv" — not that we will make a different bracha, but that we will see differently. BaElokim ahallel davar, uva'Hashem ahallel davar— Dovid Hamelech is teaching us the order: you come to Havayah through Elokim, a ladder standing on the ground with its head in the heavens. Not by flipping out and running from your life — by walking through it.But how do we get there after everything we've buried? The Rebbe's chiddush is the way back: every aveirah takes the letters of Hashem's own dibbur and rearranges them — engraved on your very bones. Denial layers it over; ego (Edge God Out) protects it; what we did twice already feels permitted. And vidui — spoken, out loud, before a talmid chacham who has made himself ayin, "leftover," nothing — takes the words off your bones, breaks the bad tziruf, and rebuilds the original letters. Kol atzmosai tomarna — until your very bones can praise Him. That is why Moshe, the ultimate anav, could say im tisa chatasam — the tzaddik who is nothing can carry everything.Re'iyas pnei hatzadik. Tzedakah latzadik. Vidui devarim. Three gifts that stand a person at the parshas derachim — the crossroads — and save him from everything. Even from death itself, because a Jew who is connected to the tzaddik never stops — the mission continues.And the shiur closes with a story I have never told this way: my father's yahrtzeit was last week. Twenty-five years ago, the night he was niftar, I found an envelope marked "tzedakah latzadik" with a hundred dollars in it — and days later, folded into his Likutey Moharan, a letter, written a month earlier, addressed to Rebbe Nachman of Breslov himself. What that letter said is the whole shiur.We should all be zocheh to stand this Rosh Hashanah in Yerushalayim Ir HaKodesh with the heilige Rebbe, Moshiach Tzidkeinu, bimheira b'yameinu — amen.Hashtags:#RebbeNachman #Breslov #LikuteyMoharan #Torah4 #Vidui #Teshuvah #Tzaddik #TalmidChacham #Chassidus #Emunah #Uman #RoshHashanah #TorahShiur #Recovery #NeverGiveUp

In this episode of Soul Sense, Mark Verkler and Carolyn Dunegan explore the progression of addiction—from recreational use to problematic use, dependence, and addiction. Drawing from decades of experience in chemical dependency treatment, Carolyn explains how addiction affects relationships, identity, priorities, and spiritual life.They discuss denial, comparison, isolation, secrecy, withdrawal, and why recovery requires community, humility, honesty, and bringing what is hidden “into the light.” From a Christian perspective, they explore how addiction can become a stronghold that competes with relationships, community, and allegiance to God.The episode also offers practical guidance for anyone concerned about their own substance use or the addiction of someone they love.⏱️ TIMESTAMPS00:00 — Introduction01:29 — The Stages of Addiction03:32 — Recreational vs. Problematic Use06:23 — Emotional & Physical Dependence08:20 — Relational Consequences10:06 — How Addiction Changes Your Social Life12:44 — When the Substance Becomes a Relationship14:01 — Addiction as an Idol16:24 — The Double Life of Addiction18:18 — Why Functioning Doesn't Mean Healthy19:12 — Denial & Comparison22:12 — The Absence of Consequences Isn't Permission23:39 — The Later Stages of Addiction26:23 — Isolation & Addiction27:43 — Understanding Withdrawal29:08 — What Early Sobriety Feels Like30:19 — Why Community Matters31:06 — Why Therapy Alone May Not Be Enough32:19 — Secrecy, Shame & Control35:00 — Coming Into the Light35:27 — 1 John 1 & Walking in the Light36:20 — Honesty, Humility & Recovery40:14 — Isolation, Pride & Being Known41:20 — The Brutality of Addiction's End Stages43:11 — The First Step Toward Recovery45:06 — Next Episode: Addiction & the Family47:23 — Humility, Grace & Freedom48:08 — ClosingFor counseling and resources: samaritanswell.comFree Guide: Christian Emotional Health Guidehttps://samaritanswell.thinkific.com/products/digital_downloads/Christian-Emotional-Health-GuideConnect with Samaritan's Well:Instagram: @samaritanswellFacebook: @samaritanswelldallasLinkedIn: Samaritan's Well CounselingTikTok: @samaritanswellcounseling#SoulSense #AddictionRecovery #ChristianCounseling #Recovery #MentalHealth #FaithAndMentalHealth

What sounds like the plot of a crime thriller was Sharon Armstrong's real life. An online romance drew her into an elaborate web of lies involving overseas contracts, invented emergencies, and several people playing carefully planned roles. By the time she arrived at an airport in Argentina with five kilograms of cocaine hidden inside her suitcase, she still believed she was carrying business documents for the man she loved. Sharon was arrested and spent more than two years in an Argentinian prison before returning home without a conviction. During that time, she had to confront the truth of what had happened and find a way to forgive herself. She later wrote about the experience in her book, *Organized Deception*. Today, she is an author and international scam awareness advocate who works to educate the public, support survivors, and challenge the shame that often keeps victims silent. In this episode, we talk about how the criminals built trust so quickly, why warnings from loved ones can be difficult to hear, and how organized scam networks use kindness and personal values against the people they target. Sharon also explains why she no longer says she "fell for" a romance scam. She was deliberately targeted by sophisticated criminals, and she believes the attention belongs on those who planned the deception rather than on the person they harmed. Show Notes: [01:12] Sharon begins the story of moving to Australia and unexpectedly being signed up for an online dating site. [03:36] A convincing introduction quickly develops into an intense romance with someone claiming to be an engineer. [04:52] The first request for money tests the trust that had already been built through a carefully fabricated story. [06:18] The scammers introduce new characters and create a plan for Sharon to travel to London through Argentina. [09:07] Family concerns grow as the relationship begins to take priority over the people who had always mattered most to her. [11:34] A suitcase supposedly carrying business documents arrives after Sharon has spent a confusing week alone in Argentina. [13:21] Airport officials discover five kilograms of cocaine hidden beneath the lining of the suitcase. [15:46] Sharon describes surviving the first days minute by minute before spending two and a half years in prison. [18:09] Criminals study a target's values, kindness, history, and online presence to create a story that feels deeply personal. [20:58] A dramatization of Sharon's story shows how organized manipulation can gradually change someone's behavior and relationships. [23:16] Her experience as a probation officer did not protect her from grooming that closely resembled techniques she already understood. [25:07] More than 7,000 messages over five months reveal the intensity of the communication and how difficult it was to recognize from inside the relationship. [28:13] Healing begins when Sharon decides to forgive herself rather than continue carrying shame for what the criminals did. [30:04] Denial can become a safe place when accepting the truth feels more painful than continuing to believe the story. [32:08] Public humiliation adds another layer of trauma after details of Sharon's arrest are released to the media. [34:27] Each day in prison begins with a choice to move toward happiness rather than allow the experience to make her bitter. [37:52] Writing, speaking publicly, and sharing her story become important parts of rebuilding her life. [40:09] Sharon rejects the phrase "fell for a scam" and explains why victims should be described as people deliberately targeted by organized criminals. [42:18] The title Organised Deception shifts attention toward the people who intentionally planned and carried out the crime. [43:17] Victim blaming can make people feel safer because it allows them to believe the same thing could never happen to them. [46:02] Sharon believes being arrested may have saved her life and kept her from being trafficked through an even more dangerous country. [48:34] Families increasingly reach out for help as they recognize the seriousness of romance scams and look for ways to support someone they love. [50:01] Sharon shares how listeners can connect with her through Stand Up 2 Scams and learn more about Organised Deception. [51:37] A reminder that scam victims are not alone and that the shame belongs with the ruthless criminals who targeted them. Thanks for joining us on Easy Prey.

Send us Fan MailShe never missed a Monday. Twelve months of weekly billing meetings, every number reviewed, every question answered. And by the end of that year her net collection rate had dropped four points, her ninety-plus AR was up forty percent, and her denial rate had climbed from six percent to eleven. The numbers were there every week. The report was accurate. Nothing changed, because the meeting was structured around reporting instead of around deciding. System 1: the financial snapshot. Three numbers, charges, payments posted, and unlocked encounters, each compared to last week and month to date. Payments lag charges by 30 to 45 days, so a strong week reflects submissions from a month ago. And unlocked encounters, the number most owners skip, is the most controllable revenue lever on the report. On a practice doing $350,000 a month, each day of unsigned encounters at scale represents roughly $12,000 to $18,000 in claims that are not in the pipeline. System 2: AR aging, denials, and stuck claims. AR aging by date of service is the patient-facing view. AR aging by claim date is the payer-facing view. The comparison between them is its own diagnostic: if date-of-service aging is older, you had a submission delay. If claim-date aging is drifting past 90 while date-of-service aging sits at 30 to 60, the payer is holding claims that went out promptly. Denials and rejections are also not the same problem: a rejection happens before adjudication and is a front-end fix, a denial happens after and carries appeal deadlines. System 3: the accountability layer. Patient statements, four trackers, the rolling action item tracker, and the onshore manager review. The rolling tracker is the section that makes the meeting matter: eight fields, every item with one named owner and one due date, no item closed without a resolution note. Without it, the same problems get identified week after week and the meeting becomes a theater of accountability rather than a mechanism for it. THE WEEKLY MEETING AGENDA Financial Snapshot, 5 min. Charges, payments posted, unlocked encounters vs last week and MTD. Ask: did we move in the right direction and do we know why? AR Aging by DOS, 5 min. Ask: is the 90-plus bucket growing or shrinking week over week? AR Aging by Claim Date, 3 min. Ask: where are claims stalling after submission and which payer is holding them? Denial Analysis, 7 min. Ask: what is the root cause of the top denial and what closes it? Rejection Analysis, 5 min. Ask: what front-end information gap is generating these and who fixes it? PM System Status, 3 min. Ask: what is sitting in a status that should have moved by now? Patient Statements, 3 min. Ask: are we sending on schedule and is patient AR moving? Tracker Updates, 5 min. Ask: what is still open from last week and does it have a new owner or date? Rolling Action Items, 5 min. Ask: does every open item have one owner and one due date? Manager Review, 4 min. Ask: what is the team seeing that is not captured in the numbers?READING YOUR AR 90-plus growing week over week. Claims aging without resolution. Ask which payer and what status, and whether this is a follow-up gap or a payer dispute. 0 to 30 growing faster than payments. Strong submission, lagging cash. Ask whether this is normal lag or a specific payer slowing down. 120-plus unchanged for 3 or more weeks. Approaching or past timely filing. Ask which claims, what the appeal status is, and whether any need to be written off. Claim date aging older than DOS aging. Submission delay. Ask what caused it and whether it is still happening on current claims. Unlocked encounters climbing. Charts are not being signed. Ask which providers, how many days open, and who is following up today. THREE ACTIONS THIS WEEK 1. Pull your unlocked encounter count today and bring it to Monday. If it is growing, that is the first conversation before any other section gets opened. 2. Ask your billing manager for the rolling action item tracker from the last four meetings. If it does not exist, that is the answer. 3. Write one specific question for each of the three main sections before your next meeting, and notice what changes when the meeting has a questioner in it. EPISODE BREAKDOWN She never missed a Monday | Reporting versus deciding | The financial snapshot | Unlocked encounters | AR aging, two views | Denials versus rejections | Claims status | Trackers and patient statements | The rolling action item tracker | The manager review | Three things to do this weekResources block 1.

Radical acceptance means you stop expecting them to change, ever. It is not approval and it is not surrender, it is how you stop waiting and finally get your peace back.In this video, trauma recovery and relationship coach Kenny Weiss explains how to practice radical acceptance with a partner, parent, or difficult family member who will never change, why the arguments you keep losing are reality arguments, and the exact words that let you hold on to your reality without arguing, defending, or convincing.Kenny walks you through his three proprietary frameworks: the Worst Day Cycle™ (Trauma, Fear, Shame, Denial), the Authentic Self Cycle™ (Truth, Responsibility, Healing, Forgiveness), and the six steps of the Emotional Authenticity Method™, including Feelization, the step that rewires the emotional blueprint at the root instead of managing symptoms.Radical acceptance is not approval and not surrender. Kenny Weiss teaches that it is releasing the demand that another person change, because demanding someone be who they are not is a denial of reality, not love. The waiting itself sends an unspoken message: I will not accept you for who you are.A reality argument is when two people look at the same thing but see it differently. Kenny Weiss teaches that neither person is right or wrong, and that demanding someone accept your reality makes your internal peace depend on them, which is the definition of codependence.Kenny Weiss's radical acceptance process starts with the pink elephant test: if an accusation lands far from your truth, you don't argue or defend. You respond with, I hear what you are saying, but my reality is different.Kenny Weiss is a relationship, communication, and childhood trauma recovery specialist, author of Your Journey to Success and Your Journey to Being Yourself, and creator of the Worst Day Cycle™, Authentic Self Cycle™, and Emotional Authenticity Method™. He helps high-functioning, emotionally exhausted adults break the repeating emotional patterns that therapy, mindset work, and communication tools never touched.TOPICS COVERED: radical acceptance, how to practice radical acceptance, accepting someone who won't change, accepting a difficult family member, reality arguments, letting go of expectations in relationships, stop trying to change your partner, codependency, boundaries, emotional blueprint, survival persona, grieving the relationship you wanted, pink elephant test, Worst Day Cycle, Authentic Self Cycle, Emotional Authenticity Method, Kenny WeissTIMESTAMPS:0:00 — Waiting for Them to Finally Change1:00 — My Ten-Year Lesson: The Rattlesnake and the Puppy2:50 — The Reality Argument: Arguing Over the Color of the Wall5:15 — Why Demanding They Change Is Codependence7:30 — The Real Reason We Keep Waiting9:00 — Where the Fantasy Was Born: The Worst Day Cycle™11:45 — What Radical Acceptance Requires: The Authentic Self Cycle™14:00 — The Six Steps of Emotional Authenticity17:00 — The Pink Elephant Test: My Reality Is Different19:15 — You Are the One You Have Been Waiting For

Jamie Raskin cut an ad insisting young socialists don't actually want to socialize the means of production — hours before Bill Maher played the quote from Zohran Mamdani's top aide Cea Weaver about the government's "sacred right to seize property" and impoverishing the white middle class. Hasan Piker's reaction to that? "Beast mode. I love her so much." Larry O'Connor breaks down Raskin's socialism denial, Francesca Hong's collapse with Wisconsin Democrats, and Abdul El-Sayed's Hasan Piker problem.

Got questions? Send Ericka a Text!Delta Dental's logo is everywhere in dentistry, but the numbers most practices never see are sitting in plain sight in a federal CMS dataset. We walk through the CMS Transparency in Coverage Public Use File and focus on the rarely opened tab for individual marketplace standalone dental plans. Because carriers self report claims received, denials, resubmissions, and formal appeals, the file becomes an uncomfortable mirror for both payers and the dental billing systems we run inside our offices. Here's what stops us: Delta Dental companies across 20 states report a 22.5% in network denial rate, higher than the broader dental market in the same file, and out of network denial rates climb even further. But the real gut punch is what CMS added for 2024: resubmitted claims. When only a small fraction of denied claims come back through the door, it suggests a huge pool of abandoned revenue sitting on aging reports, quietly turning into write offs and patient balances without a deliberate decision. We also get precise about formal appeals: what counts, why plan documents matter, how deadlines create leverage, and why regulators only have visibility when we generate a paper trail. Then we turn it into action with a practical denial management process, simple tracking fields your team can start this week, and a challenge for practice owners to stop accepting “I need to appeal those” as the end of the conversation. Subscribe, share this with your billing team, and leave a review with one change you are making after you pull your last 90 days of Delta denials.

Tiffany Auvil spent more than twenty years inside the U.S. healthcare system, starting as a volunteer firefighter and eventually serving as System Director of Outpatient Clinics for a three-hospital health system. She is a functional medicine health coach, she is completing a Doctorate of Science in Integrative Healthcare, and she is the author of "The No BS Guide for Caregivers: How to Survive the Healthcare Maze," available now. Episode page with links and more  Her favorite mistake was trusting the system she had worked inside for two decades. Her husband Dave was treated for renal cell carcinoma in 2016 and was cancer-free within three months. Seven years later it returned in his pancreas and liver. The night before Dave's first immunotherapy infusion, the oncology nurse called to say insurance had denied it. Tiffany had done prior authorizations for years and knew the denial did not add up, so she called the insurer, who had no denial on file at all. The failure was upstream: the hospital's prior authorization specialist had entered a diagnosis code in the field meant for the procedure code, and the portal rejected it as invalid. When they arrived for treatment the next morning, the oncologist was relieved someone had finally figured it out, because she had been watching authorizations get denied without ever learning why. That was not the only failure. A Gamma Knife authorization later sat unsubmitted because nobody attached the clinical notes or pressed the button. And the cancer in Dave's brain turned out to be central nervous system lymphoma, an entirely separate primary cancer that Tiffany believes had been in his eye all along. Mark and Tiffany talk about diagnostic error and the cognitive bias that makes a second primary cancer nearly invisible, about Code Help and the escalation paths families are rarely told about, about what it costs to be the employee who questions things and tries to connect silos, and about why "good catch" recognition is where organizational learning usually stops instead of starts. Dave died at home in April 2025. He used to ask Tiffany what people do who do not have a Tiffy. The book is her answer: scripts for talking with physicians, how to read a bill, how to appeal a denial and how to tell whether a denial is even real, and a closing section on end of life that most caregiving books avoid. What You'll Learn Why insider knowledge is not the same as protection How a single field on a single screen became a denial that nearly delayed cancer treatment Why Tiffany filed a grievance after the problem was already fixed How cognitive bias makes a second primary cancer nearly invisible, even to excellent physicians What Code Help is, and why most families never hear about it What it costs to be the employee who tries to close loops between silos Why "good catch" is where learning usually stops instead of starts How to make a fifteen-minute physician visit actually work Why starting hospice earlier is a practical decision, not a surrender

It's Friday, August 7th, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com. I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Tanzanian Christians worried about Muslim threats In several Muslim-majority communities along Tanzania's coast in eastern Africa along the Indian Ocean, small Christian churches continue to worship under growing pressure, with pastors and congregations describing intimidation, disruption, and insecurity, reports International Christian Concern. For many believers in Zanzibar and parts of coastal Tanzania, where 99 percent of the population is Muslim, church leaders say some congregations have experienced threats, harassment, and occasional attacks.  One pastor said, “When a church is threatened, it is not only a building that is affected. People begin to fear even the simple act of coming together to pray. Mothers worry about bringing their children, and some believers spend the entire service looking over their shoulders instead of worshipping freely.” Please pray for our brothers and sisters in Christ in Tanzania. Trump, Hegseth clashed over missile depletion concerns President Donald Trump's frustration over the Iran war boiled over at Camp David last week, where he demanded answers from War Secretary Pete Hegseth on why he had apparently been misled on extreme munitions shortages that now threaten to limit military options with Iran, reports The Washington Post. President Trump vented at Hegseth that he thought the munitions issue “had been fixed.”  The shortages, particularly in long-range guided missiles and air-defense interceptors, have been part of the reason President Trump has pulled back from launching additional massive strikes against Iran in recent days. Senate Republicans hold Dr. Fauci in contempt of Congress Senate Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee voted to hold Dr. Anthony Fauci, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, in contempt of Congress after he declined to answer lawmakers' questions during a fiery hearing last week, reports NBC News. Fauci, who has been a target of the right since he served as a top health official during the Covid pandemic, invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times during the hearing, explaining in his opening remarks that he believed Republicans would try to use his testimony to prosecute him. However, Fauci had been given a full and unconditional pardon by President Joe Biden before he left office on January 19, 2025. In an 8-5 party-line vote, Republicans on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee held Fauci in contempt. Republican Senator Rand Paul of Kentucky, the committee chair, said, “We are voting on whether a witness who has received the benefit of a sweeping federal pardon can be ordered by this committee to answer questions and then defy that order without consequence.” He added, “I ordered him to answer and warned him about contempt, yet he still refused. That is obstruction of a congressional investigation.” The committee can refer the contempt of Congress resolution directly to the Justice Department or request that Senate Majority Leader John Thune of South Dakota hold a full Senate vote. Senator Paul said the committee would hand-deliver the referral to the Justice Department. Contempt of Congress is a criminal misdemeanor offense punishable by up to a $100,000 fine and one year in jail. Proverbs 18:12 says, “Before a downfall, the heart is haughty …” In an impromptu press conference, Senator Paul insisted that Dr. Fauci be held accountable for the COVID-19 pandemic. PAUL: “A million Americans died, and I think they deserve to know the truth. Anthony Fauci has advocated for dangerous gain-of-function research for two decades now. The question ‘why' is not a question that he can have liability for. “He was given a pardon. Interestingly, the pardon starts in 2014. That's when the funding of the lab in Wuhan, [China] started. So, I think he should answer questions. As far as pleading the Fifth [Amendment] when you have a pardon, all you have to do is tell the truth, just not commit a new crime. So, I think the American people do deserve to know this. “This is the same Anthony Fauci who said, in a Washington Post op-ed in 2011, even if a pandemic should start from a lab, if someone's bitten in a lab or the virus escapes the lab, that the knowledge would be worth the risks. I don't think many Americans believe that! “This deserves to be thoroughly, exhaustively debated, so we don't do this again.” Christian congressman: Dr. Fauci under divine judgment Appearing with Fox News Host Brian Kilmeade on July 27th, Republican Congressman Tim Burchett of Tennessee talked about the recent revelations from Dr. Anthony Fauci's pandemic-era diary entries which showed a fixation on his own "explosive" fame, reports The Christian Post. KILMEADE: “Congressman, we saw this, but now we can read this. What changes about how this guy is perceived once and for all?” BURCHETT: “I think his arrogance shows. The Bible talks about professing themselves to be wise; they became fools. We closed down mom-and-pop operations. Jewish and Christian fellowships were shut down. The big boys were allowed to stay open. This thing was a disaster from the start, and we celebrated this guy, [meaning Fauci].” The phrase from Romans 1:22-28, which is part of the Apostle Paul's larger indictment against the pagan world, describes the corruption and prideful self-delusion that afflicts the minds of those who reject God. The refusal to worship God leads to a litany of self-destructive sins that ends with God abandoning individuals and societies "to a debased mind to do what ought not to be done.” Southwest Airlines blocks ICE from detaining illegal aliens on 6 flights Firm in the belief that immigration enforcement is bad for business, Southwest Airlines is pushing back hard against efforts to detain illegal immigrants at U.S. airports, reports The Western Journal. A report from the Wall Street Journal highlights a July 25 incident in which an Immigration and Customs Enforcement agent tried to board a Southwest Airlines jet in Dallas. The agent was prevented from carrying out his duties by Southwest Airlines. The Dallas-based airline staff also refused to share passenger information with ICE. In recent weeks, a half-dozen other incidents involving Southwest have taken place. The incidents occur as ICE has been broadening their efforts to arrest illegal aliens at airports. Write a polite, 3-sentence letter of complaint to Southwest Airlines President Bob Jordan. Send it to: 2702 Love Field Drive, Dallas, TX 75235. Planned Parenthood sues Trump over denial of Title X funding And finally, Planned Parenthood is suing the Trump administration to challenge updated Title X funding guidelines issued earlier this year that could render the abortion giant ineligible for so-called “family planning” grants, reports LifeSiteNews.com. In April, the U.S. Department of Health & Human Services issued updated guidelines for Title X applications, which drop contraception promotion in favor of “natural family planning methods,” tout an objective to “strengthen family formation and assist clients in achieving healthy pregnancies,” and require applicants to reject abortion as a method of family planning. The new standards threaten to disqualify longtime Title X recipients such as Planned Parenthood. As a result, the nation's largest abortion chain announced on July 29 that it is suing the Trump administration over them. Isaiah 59:7 describes the abortion giant to a “t.” “Their feet run to evil, and they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity. Desolation and destruction mark their ways.” Close And that's The Worldview on this Friday, August 7th, in the year of our Lord 2026.

Send us Fan MailThe most expensive billing relationship is not the one that is clearly failing. It is the one that is quietly not delivering. On a practice doing $400,000 a month, three points of net collection rate is $12,000 a month. Nobody escalates $12,000. It does not trigger a phone call. It just leaves, month after month, until somebody adds up a year of it and finds $144,000 that nobody ever fought for. This is Part 2 of a two-part series and it builds the operating model that catches it. System 1: the day-to-day operating model. Every good billing partnership has a weekly rhythm and a monthly rhythm, both defined before the relationship starts rather than improvised after something goes wrong. The weekly rhythm is operational on the practice side and communicative on the billing side. The practices that feel most confident are almost always the ones with a short, consistent weekly touchpoint. Not because anything is wrong. Because nothing has had time to go quietly wrong. The five-number report. Most monthly billing reports show collections by payer, claims submitted, and a denial percentage. That is activity data, not performance data. The report that tells you whether the value equation is moving has five numbers: net collection rate, denial rate by payer and reason code, AR days trending over three months, clean claim rate, and patient AR aging by segment. System 2: how to know it is working. Three green flags. Denial root causes are getting identified and closed, not just worked. The practice side is getting easier over time rather than harder. And the leading indicators are moving before the headline numbers do. Three warning signals. The monthly report is not readable or not specific. Problems get explained after they compound instead of flagged before. And the same denial patterns appear month after month without root cause resolution. System 3: what to do when something feels off. The right first move is almost never to start looking for a replacement. Most billing relationships that ended badly were relationships where the right conversation happened six months too late. There is exactly one situation where replacement is the right call: specific commitments were made by both sides with dates attached, and they were not kept after a fair period. THE SHARED OPERATING MODEL Chart Closure. Practice: providers sign charts within 24 to 48 hours of the encounter. Billing partner: tracks chart closure rate weekly and flags delays before they hit the claim cycle. Front Desk Accuracy. Practice: verifies eligibility before every visit, collects copay at check-in, captures authorizations before the patient is seen. Billing partner: trains the front desk on what billing needs and provides feedback loops when errors surface in claims. Denial Management. Practice: backs the billing partner on policy enforcement with payers when escalation requires physician involvement. Billing partner: owns denial follow-up completely, trends by payer and code, reports root causes monthly. Patient Balances. Practice: communicates financial expectations at scheduling and check-in and supports the collections policy. Billing partner: provides a structured patient AR workflow and reports aging by segment. Performance Visibility. Practice: reviews the monthly report and asks questions when numbers move. Billing partner: delivers a clear payer-level report monthly with denial rate, AR days, net collection rate, and trend direction. Communication Rhythm. Practice: shows up to the weekly or bi-weekly review. Billing partner: runs the meeting with an agenda, flags problems before they compound, and proposes solutions rather than summaries. THREE ACTIONS THIS WEEK 1. Ask your billing partner for the five-number report this week, not at the next scheduled review. How fast it arrives tells you as much as what is in it. 2. Check your own weekly rhythm: chart closure rate over the last seven days, eligibility verification rate at the front desk, copay collection rate at check-in. 3. If your billing relationship has been running more than 90 days and you have never run the four-variable review, schedule it this week and frame it as a calibration, not a performance review. EPISODE BREAKDOWN The $144,000 nobody escalates | Bridge from EP200 | Where quiet underperformance lives | The weekly and monthly rhythm | The five-number report | Three green flags | Three warning signals | What to do when something feels off | Three things to do this week Resources block1.

About this episode:   If you've ever been prescribed a new medication from your doctor only to be told by the pharmacy that your insurance won't cover it, you're not alone. In fact, new research shows that denials and requirements for prior authorizations are happening more frequently and that, in half of these cases, patients are subsequently forgoing their prescriptions. In this episode: Joseph Levy, lead author of the study, explains why this is the case and discusses the tradeoffs between controlling drug spending and ensuring access to necessary treatments.  Guest:  Joseph Levy, PhD, is a health economist and assistant professor in Health Policy and Management at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health. Host:  Stephanie Desmon, MA, is a former journalist, author, and the director of public relations and communications for the Johns Hopkins Center for Communication Programs.

Today - John talks about the implications of Todd Blanche's confirmation as Attorney General, highlighting the troubling immunity granted to Trump and his family regarding tax fraud. He also discusses the debacle of DC Attorney Jeanine Pirro as her office abruptly dropped federal vandalism charges related to the Reflecting Pool. The decision directly contradicts Trump's public narrative that the landmark's recent damage was the work of vandals. John then welcomes Lynn Tremont, founder of the Ohio Immigrant Alliance, who sheds light on the troubling surge in arrests of Haitian immigrants in Ohio. As families face deportation and the harsh realities of ICE's aggressive tactics, Lynn shares heartbreaking stories of individuals caught in the crossfire, emphasizing the impact on mixed-status families and the wider community. He then welcomes back Paul Waldman, a prominent journalist known for his work with the New York Times and MSNBC. Together, they explore the current state of the party, with progressive candidates rising to prominence and the establishment grappling with whether to embrace this shift or resist it. Waldman discusses the central crossroads moderate Democrats face: should they support these insurgent candidates to secure seats, or continue to criticize the left? As they dissect the concept of electability, John and Paul highlight the importance of authenticity and the need for Democrats to project strength in the eyes of voters. Next, he welcomes the brilliant Alison Gill, the mastermind behind the acclaimed podcasts Mueller, She Wrote and Daily Beans. They talk about the recent revelations surrounding Trump's banking relationships, particularly the shocking court filings from Capital One that expose allegations of money laundering linked to Trump's business empire. They also discuss Alison's courageous Freedom of Information Act lawsuit concerning the heartbreaking artwork created by children in detention centers, revealing the troubling intersection of childhood innocence and government bureaucracy. Then lastly, John is in the studio with comedians Keith Price and Rhonda Hansom for a panel discussion. They chat about the alarming state of the Republican Party, focusing on the disturbing case of Ohio congressman Max Miller, who remains in the race despite serious allegations of domestic abuse. John and the gang dissect the cultural implications of such support, questioning the moral compass of voters who overlook these issues.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Health insurance denials are out of control, and insurance companies are banking on you just accepting it and paying the bill. This week, Vivian sits down with Zach Veigulis, co-founder and Chief AI Officer at Claimable, to break down the villain origin story of health insurance and exactly how to fight back when your claim gets denied. In this episode, Vivian and Zach cover: 1. Why claims get denied in the first place, which types of claims get denied at disproportionately high rates, and why you should never just accept a denial and pay the bill. 2. The exact steps to take to appeal a denial (and how fast you need to move), the magic words to use in an appeal letter, how to tell a real coverage denial from a bogus billing error, and what "medically necessary" really means. 3. What to do if you can't afford the bill while your appeal is pending, and the nuclear options, think state insurance commissioners and patient advocates, if you're denied at every level.
