On this deeply personal episode of SHE MD, co-host Mary Alice Haney sits down with her lifelong best friend, Stacey Hunt, to share the story of how listening to the podcast led Stacey to advocate for herself, and ultimately, catch her breast cancer early enough to save her life.After hearing the Olivia Munn episode and learning about lifetime breast cancer risk assessments, dense breast tissue, and the importance of MRIs for high-risk women, Stacey decided to take action. Despite having a recent “clear” mammogram and no symptoms, she pushed for additional testing after learning her lifetime risk score was 28%. That MRI revealed a tiny invasive lobular breast cancer hidden beneath extremely dense breast tissue; something her mammogram missed entirely.Together, Stacey, Mary Alice, and Thais Aliabadi have an emotional and eye-opening conversation about self-advocacy, early detection, dense breasts, genetic testing, the realities of a breast cancer diagnosis, treatment decisions, reconstruction options, menopause after cancer, and the emotional toll that comes with survivorship. This episode is both a powerful reminder that early detection saves lives and a call for every woman to know her lifetime risk of breast cancer.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

Inspired by the podcast's conversations around breast cancer risk assessments and early detection, Stacey advocated for additional screening despite having a recent negative mammogram and no symptoms. Her persistence led to the discovery of an early-stage invasive lobular breast cancer hidden beneath extremely dense breast tissue; a diagnosis that may have otherwise gone undetected for years.In this powerful episode, Stacey shares her deeply personal journey through diagnosis, self-advocacy, treatment, and recovery, offering an inspiring reminder of the importance of knowing your risk, trusting your instincts, and speaking up for your health.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In this episode, Meg Bomley shares her T1D journey from being diagnosed at 18 years old and spending eight years on MDI without a CGM, to becoming someone who feels deeply empowered in her body and her diabetes.Meg first came on the podcast in 2022 after graduating from Risely coaching. At the time, she had just come out of a season of constant lows, burnout, and feeling completely overwhelmed after switching to a pump without the support she needed.Today, she's back as a nationally board certified health coach, and 35 weeks pregnant with type 1 diabetes, one of Risely's top coaches.The majority of this conversation is the reality of navigating pregnancy with T1D: the nausea, insulin resistance, fear of highs, changing carb ratios, and learning to trust yourself in this season.WHAT WE COVER:Why Meg resisted pumps and CGMs for nearly 8 years after diagnosisThe “biggest disaster ever” that happened when she first switched to a pumpWhat finally helped her stop feeling resistant, overwhelmed, and burnt out with diabetesHow coaching helped her uncover mindset blocks that had nothing to do with insulin or carb countingThe first sign Meg noticed that told her her insulin resistance was changing after getting pregnantHow she managed nausea, vomiting, insulin on board, and eating mostly carbs during pregnancyThe difference between taking 5 units for oatmeal pre-pregnancy vs. 16 units during pregnancyWhat it's actually like mentally to watch yourself take “large amounts of insulin” every dayWHAT'S NEXT:

For so many women, ADHD has been misunderstood for decades — often internalised as laziness, failure, or not trying hard enough.But what if that story was never true to begin with?In this week's episode of the ADHD Women's Wellbeing Podcast, I'm joined by Kristen Pressner, Global Head of People & Culture, TEDx speaker, and passionate advocate for neurodiversity for a conversation on ADHD, leadership, parenting, and why understanding your brain can change how you live, work, and relate to yourself.Kristen brings both professional insight and deeply personal experience to this conversation, sharing what it's been like raising four neurodivergent children while navigating a high-powered career, and how this journey has reshaped the way she understands ADHD, both at home and in the workplace.This is a conversation that gently challenges some of the narratives many of us have grown up with, particularly the idea that ADHD is about laziness or lack of discipline, and instead invites us to explore what might be possible when we approach ourselves (and others) with more curiosity, compassion, and understanding.In this episode, we explore:Kristen's experience of supporting her family through their neurodivergence diagnosisThe different emotions that can come with an ADHD diagnosisWhy understanding the biology of ADHD can help us work with our brainsThe impact of undiagnosed neurodivergence on mental health and relationshipsWhy so many people may not recognise themselves in traditional narrativesHow creating non-judgmental environments can reduce shame in those with ADHDHow to feel safe to survive, which allows you to thriveWhy knowing your needs can be tricky, and how to gently explore thisPractical ways workplaces and managers can support neurodivergent employees with meaningful, individualised accommodationsHow Kristen has brought her lived experience into her leadership work to support others more effectivelyThe concept of a “brain friend” and how having someone alongside you can make navigating life with ADHD feel less overwhelmingHow tools like AI can support neurodivergent people to process thoughts, communicate needs, and better understand themselvesThis episode is a reminder that there is nothing “wrong” with your brain, and that with the right support, understanding, and space to explore what actually works for you, things can begin to feel a little more possible.Timestamps:00:01 - Introduction to ADHD Women's Wellbeing00:48 - Kristen's Family's Journey of Neurodivergence12:30 - Navigating Neurodivergence in Family Dynamics29:40 - Navigating Neurodivergence in Parenting37:51 - Understanding Neurodivergence and Its Impact on RelationshipsThis week's episode is sponsored by Understood.org, the leading nonprofit dedicated to empowering the millions of people with learning and thinking differences, like ADHD and dyslexia.

Parkinson's disease begins decades before symptoms appear — and by the time tremors start, brain changes have already been unfolding for years.In this episode of Research Renaissance, host Deborah Westphal speaks with Dr. Zachary Sorrentino, neurosurgeon, physician-scientist, and 2025 Toffler Scholar at the University of Florida. Dr. Sorrentino explains how misfolded proteins like alpha-synuclein spread through the brain, how deep brain stimulation helps restore movement, and why preventing dementia in Parkinson's patients may be the next major frontier.Drawing from both the operating room and the research lab, Dr. Sorrentino shares how his team analyzes proteins directly from surgical tools used in living patients — offering unprecedented insight into disease progression.This is a powerful conversation about aging, brain vulnerability, precision therapies, and the human side of neurosurgery.
In this episode of Candidly with Coffee, we're calling out one of the biggest wellness trends taking over TikTok right now... The "cortisol face." You've seen it. That puffy, tired face in the mirror that TikTok is blaming on chronically elevated cortisol. But is that actually what's going on, or is the wellness industry just cashing in on a buzzword to sell you something?We break down what cortisol actually is, how it really affects your body, and why blaming it for your weight gain is the wrong approach. We also get into why so many people would rather find something to blame than do the actual work and why that mindset will keep you stuck every single time.What you'll learn:What cortisol actually does in the body and when it becomes a real problemWhy "cortisol face" is mostly a marketing tool and not a diagnosisThe chicken or the egg — does poor lifestyle cause high cortisol or is it the other way around?Why inflammation and menopause get misused as excuses the same way cortisol doesWhat actually brings cortisol levels back to a healthy balanceWhy supplements like ashwagandha won't fix anything if your lifestyle is a messThe basics you need to lock in before chasing any hormonal fixHow to stop being a collector of problems and start being an action takerJoin this channel to get access to perks:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_8nonbBsA-mTli1KLlHlrA/joinWork with Jeaninehttps://www.jeanineescobar.comMike's YouTube Channel: @escoelitemindsetMike's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/@escoelitemindsetSupport our Sponsors1UP Nutrition Code: JEANINEhttps://www.1upnutrition.com /discount/jeanineMegaFit Meals - Code Jeanine https://megafitmeals.rfrl.co/p75q7Built Bar Code: MRSCEOJhttps://builtbar.com?baapp=MRSCEOJSupport us by following on Social MediaAmazon Storefront: https://www.amazon.com/shop/mrsceo_jLTK Fashion Links: https://www.shopLTK.com/explore/MrsCEO_JInstagram: https://instagram.com/mrsceo_jInstagram: https://instagram.com/candidly_withcoffeeWeight Loss IG: https://instagram.com/@jsbodybootcampTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@mrsceo_j

STRONGER BONES LIFESTYLE: REVERSING THE COURSE OF OSTEOPOROSIS NATURALLY
In this solo episode, Debi Robinson shares powerful insights from a survey of over 8,000 women in her community, revealing the real emotional and physical challenges women face after being diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis.What emerges is not just a bone health issue, but a deeper problem rooted in fear, confusion, and a lack of clear guidance. Many women report feeling overwhelmed after receiving a diagnosis based on a DEXA scan, often without understanding its limitations or being given lifestyle-based solutions.Debi breaks down the most common concerns women shared—including fear of fractures, worsening bone loss, and uncertainty about what to do next—and highlights the gap between what women are looking for (natural, lifestyle-based solutions) and what they are typically offered (medication only).This episode reframes the conversation around bone health, emphasizing that bones are living tissue influenced by digestion, inflammation, movement, and stress—and that women have more control than they've been led to believe.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhat over 8,000 women revealed about their bone health concernsWhy fear of fractures is the most common concern after diagnosisThe concept of “scared still” and how fear reduces movementThe limitations and variability of DEXA scan resultsWhy bone density does not equal bone strengthThe gap between what women want and what they're offeredWhy most women want natural approaches to bone healthThe connection between gut health, digestion, and bone strengthHow inflammation, stress, and lifestyle impact bone remodelingWhy supplements alone may not improve bone healthAction StepsDon't let fear stop your movement. Movement is essential for maintaining and building bone.Look beyond your DEXA scan. Understand its limitations and use it as just one piece of information.Support your gut health. Improve digestion to enhance nutrient absorption.Reduce inflammation. Focus on an anti-inflammatory diet and lifestyle.Incorporate daily movement. Walking, yoga, and balance training are powerful tools.Ask better questions. Seek education and clarity, not just quick solutions.Take an active role in your health. Your lifestyle choices directly influence your bones.Resources & Links
Hey Diabuddy thank you for listening to show, send me some positive vibes with your favorite part of this episode.In this episode, Coach Ken and Graham dive into a real, unfiltered conversation that blends everyday life with powerful updates in diabetes care.From late-night home disasters to frustrating CGM issues, this episode starts off relatable—but quickly shifts into something much bigger: what's changing in diabetes management and access to care in 2026.They break down new updates from the American Diabetes Association, including recommendations around CGMs at diagnosis, reduced barriers to insulin pumps, and evolving treatment approaches.More importantly, Ken shares a strong perspective on what truly matters—balancing education with real-life support, especially for those newly diagnosed or caregivers navigating the early stages of diabetes.This episode is a reminder that while technology is improving, the real challenge is still learning how to apply it confidently in your everyday life.
Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology, Autel, and Independent Wrench JobsWatch Full Video EpisodeShow NotesIn this episode, Matt builds on a thought that has been bothering him for a while: the automotive repair industry has done a pretty terrible job defining what we mean by diagnosis, diagnostic, analysis, and even something as simple as a code scan.The spark for the conversation comes from seeing a vehicle owner buy their own scan tool after being told a dealership wanted $190 “to scan codes.” That raises the real question: was the shop selling a code scan... or were they selling a diagnostic process? Because those are not the same thing, and pretending they are creates confusion for customers and devalues the work of actual technical specialists.Matt argues that a diagnosis is the conclusion you arrive at, while a diagnostic is the process used to get there. A code scan might be one piece of that process, but it is not the whole thing. And a good diagnostic process does not always immediately hand you the answer. Sometimes it gives you something better: more precise questions, better direction, and a narrower path to the root cause.That leads into a bigger point about communication, economics, and trust. Auto repair is a classic credence good, where the customer often cannot accurately judge the quality of the service they received. That creates information asymmetry—the shop knows far more than the client does. Which means language matters. Definitions matter. Expectations matter. If the industry wants to separate itself from guesswork, parts-changing, and pseudo-diagnostics, it has to become far more disciplined in how it describes the work being sold.Matt also reflects on confidence, competence, and what actually drives improvement. Sometimes a little lack of confidence—the kind that makes you run one more test, read one more article, attend one more class, or call one more sharp friend—can be a strength rather than a weakness. It can push real learning. But like most things, it cuts both ways.This episode is a call for more precise language, more honest communication, and a stronger defense of the real value behind analysis, testing, and arriving at an actual diagnosis.In This EpisodeWhy a code scan is not the same thing as a diagnosisThe difference between a diagnostic process and a diagnostic resultWhy a good process does not always produce an immediate answerHow testing should often remain at the specialist's discretionWhy rigid test lists can break down from vehicle to vehicleThe danger of selling customers a result instead of a processInformation asymmetry and why auto repair is a credence goodWhy precise language helps distinguish real specialists from guessersThe double-edged sword of confidence in technical workWhy continual learning often comes from knowing how much you do not knowKey TakeawaysThis episode is really about reclaiming the value of professional analysis.A shop can offer a code scan. That is fine. A shop can refuse to offer a code scan and only sell deeper diagnostic work. That is also fine. What matters is being honest and clear about the difference.Customers need better explanations. Shops need better language. And the industry needs to stop using words like diagnosis, diagnostic, and code scan as if they are interchangeable, because they are not.Quotable Moments“Diagnosis isn't the end. Diagnosis is the beginning of practice.”“A diagnosis is something that you arrive at. A diagnostic is a process.”“A very successful process may not lead to the answer right away. It may lead to a better question.”“We have done a horrific job when it comes to definitions or standards.”“The customer cannot differentiate the quality of our services versus another. They have to take our word for it.”“That lack of confidence is what drove me to do one more test.”Sponsor ThanksThanks to:AutelPico TechnologyIndependent Wrench JobsAlso thanks to the Automotive Repair Podcast Network.Contact / Call to ActionWhat do you think?

Send a textIn this first episode of The Resistance Chronicles, Becca Silver challenges one of the most common leadership mistakes we make: treating resistance as a compliance problem instead of a diagnostic opportunity.She reframes resistance as a signal, not defiance, but an unmet need.Becca introduces five core Catalyst Mindsets that often sit underneath resistance: value, ownership, belonging, success, and growthIn this episode, she focuses specifically on the value mindset, unpacking what's really happening when someone says, “This just feels like more work.”Instead of pushing harder for buy-in, she walks leaders and coaches through how to pause, diagnose, and connect the work to what actually matters to the person in front of them. Because resistance decreases when value increases.This episode is practical, mindset-shifting, and immediately usable, especially for instructional coaches, teacher leaders, and school administrators navigating change fatigue.Becca also shares two resources designed to help you respond to resistance in real time:The $7 Resistance Playbook for quick, in-the-moment diagnosisThe $27 Resistance Starter Bundle, which includes a Resistance Audit, action toolkit, and mini-courseIf you've ever felt stuck pushing an initiative that people aren't buying into, this episode will help you stop fighting resistance, and start understanding it.Next up in the series: The Belonging Mindset.Let's Stay Connected!Website | Instagram | Twitter | Linkedin | Facebook | Contact Us

In this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice Haney and Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi welcome back Dr. Kelly Casperson to discuss perimenopause, menopause, and hormone therapy with clarity and science instead of fear.Dr. Casperson explains why perimenopause is a clinical diagnosis, not simply a lab result, and why so many women are dismissed as “too young” or “too old” when their symptoms are real. She addresses the biggest myth about hormone replacement therapy and reframes the conversation around individualized, science-backed risk-benefit decisions.The discussion dives into testosterone for women, including its impact on libido, motivation, muscle mass, and mood, along with the risks of high-dose hormone pellets. They explore progesterone for sleep, the hysterectomy myth, and why vaginal estrogen is one of the safest and most effective treatments for dryness, painful sex, bladder urgency, and recurrent UTIs.The episode also tackles the midlife brain, brain fog, and how estrogen influences glucose metabolism. From restoring desire in long-term relationships to navigating alcohol, supplements, and exercise, this conversation reinforces one powerful truth: women are not broken. With the right knowledge and support, midlife can be a season of clarity, strength, and transformation.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, Endometriosis, fertility, and hormonal balance.

In this episode, I sit down with Emma Heming Willis to discuss her husband Bruce Willis' diagnosis with Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD) and the realities of caregiving. Emma opens up about the challenges and emotions that come with caring for a loved one with dementia, the impact it's had on her blended family, and the importance of finding community support. We talk about how FTD manifested for Bruce, how she approached sharing the diagnosis with their young kids, and why advocating for caregivers is so critical. Emma shares advice from her new book, “The Unexpected Journey” for those navigating similar experiences, how she prioritizes her own well-being as a caregiver, and the significance of asking for help without guilt. We also touch on her advocacy work for brain health and the power of both vulnerability and resilience in sharing her family's journey.Key Takeaway / Points:Emma's present mindset, the challenges of caregiving, and the importance in sharing her family's storyEmma and Bruce's love story and their early dating yearsOn stepping into a blended familyNavigating Bruce's health changes and the communication struggles in their marriage that ultimately led to a diagnosisUnderstanding Frontotemporal Dementia (FTD), the differences between dementia and Alzheimer's, and Bruce's FTD symptomsHow Emma approached telling their two children about the diagnosisThe realities of caregivers not prioritizing their personal well-beingDecision fatigue, asking for help, and letting go of judgment as a caregiverEmma's advocacy work for caregivers and brain health, especially for womenRead her book “The Unexpected Journey” HEREListen to my episode with Dr. Kellyann Niotis HEREFollow Emma:Instagram: @emmahemingwillisWebsites: emmahemingwillis.commaketimewellness.comFollow me:Instagram: @cameronoaksrogersSubstack: Fill Your CupWebsite: cameronoaksrogers.comTikTok: @cameronoaksrogersYouTube: Cameron Rogers

STRONGER BONES LIFESTYLE: REVERSING THE COURSE OF OSTEOPOROSIS NATURALLY
In this solo episode, Debi Robinson speaks directly to women who have been diagnosed with osteopenia or osteoporosis and left feeling afraid, fragile, or unsure how to move forward.Debi explores how osteoporosis became a widespread diagnosis, why the DEXA scan does not tell the full story about fracture risk, and how fear itself can quietly accelerate bone loss. She challenges the idea that a number on a scan defines your future and offers a calmer, more empowering perspective on bone health.This episode is not about rejecting medicine or ignoring data — it's about placing information in context, reclaiming trust in your body, and understanding how lifestyle, stress, digestion, movement, and nervous system health truly influence your bones.If you've ever felt overwhelmed or disempowered by a bone health diagnosis, this episode is for you.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow osteoporosis became a fear-based diagnosisThe limitations of the DEXA scan for predicting fracturesWhy many fractures occur in women without osteoporosisHow fear changes movement patterns and increases fracture riskWhy bone medications don't address root causesThe real role of stress, digestion, and inflammation in bone lossHow lifestyle choices influence bone strength dailyA practical, tiered approach to supporting bone healthHow to rebuild confidence and trust in your bodyAction Steps You Can Take TodayReframe the diagnosis — see your DEXA scan as information, not identity.Move daily with intention, alignment, and confidence.Reduce chronic stress through breathwork, yoga, or mindfulness.Support digestion to improve nutrient absorption.Focus on consistency, not extremes, in lifestyle habits.Educate yourself so fear no longer drives your decisions.Choose empowerment over paralysis when it comes to your bones.Resources & LinksHealthy Gut, Healthy Bones Program: https://debirobinsonwellness.thrivecart.com/hghb-self-paced-group-program-pp/Stronger Bones Lifestyle Community https://debirobinson.com/the-stronger-bones-lifestyle-community/Debi's TakeawayOsteoporosis does not define you.A scan does not own you.Fear does not protect you.Your bones are living tissue, responding every day to how you eat, move, manage stress, and live your life. When you replace fear with education and trust your body again, your bones respond.You are not fragile. You are capable — and your bone health journey belongs to you.
A stage-IV metastatic melanoma diagnosis is often delivered with words like incurable and life-limiting. In this deeply moving episode, Dr. Michael Karlfeldt sits down with Kevin Donaghy, an IT consultant from Melrose, Scotland, who has lived more than six years beyond his diagnosis—and transformed his personal cancer journey into a global mission of hope. Through his lived experience and the revolutionary impact of immunotherapy, Kevin offers rare insight into what it truly means to navigate advanced cancer with courage, honesty, and humanity.Kevin shares the emotional realities of being told his cancer was medically incurable, the isolation and fear that followed, and how finding community during COVID lockdowns became a turning point for his mental health. Out of that connection grew Stories of Cancer and Hope, an anthology of 39 real-life cancer stories—some triumphant, some heartbreaking—all designed to offer solidarity to those who feel alone. Listeners will hear powerful reflections on cancer ghosting, mental health struggles, redefining hope, and why shared stories can be as life-saving as treatment itself.This episode is essential listening for cancer patients, survivors, caregivers, and healthcare professionals alike. Whether you are newly diagnosed, supporting a loved one, or seeking deeper understanding of the emotional side of cancer, Kevin's story reminds us that hope is not a single outcome—it is something that evolves, connects, and endures.Key Topics CoveredLiving beyond a stage-IV metastatic melanoma diagnosisThe emotional shock of being told cancer is “incurable”Immunotherapy for melanoma: promise, risks, and realitiesCancer isolation, loneliness, and “cancer ghosting”Mental health challenges and suicidal ideation in cancer patientsThe healing power of community and shared lived experienceCreating Stories of Cancer and Hope and distributing thousands of free booksHow hope changes throughout the cancer journeySupporting families and caregivers through understanding and empathyConnect with Kevin Donaghy & Stories of Cancer and HopeWebsite: https://www.storiesofcancerandhope.co.uk/Social Media:LinkedIn: Kevin DonaghyInstagram: Kevin A Donaghy, Stories of Cancer and HopeBluesky: storiescancerhope.bsky.socialAmazon Author Page: https://www.amazon.com/stores/Kevin-Donaghy/author/B0D7S7LRMJ?ref=ap_rdr&shoppingPortalEnabled=true&ccs_id=d17d4d5b-3bb2-4adf-87a3-b274a0211630 -----------------------------------------------A Better Way to Treat Cancer: A Comprehensive Guide to Understanding, Preventing and Most Effectively Treating Our Biggest Health ThreatGrab my book here: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CM1KKD9X?ref_=pe_3052080_397514860 Unleashing 10X Power: A Revolutionary Approach to Conquering CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/unleashing-10x-powerPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST1 Healing Within: Unraveling the Emotional Roots of CancerGet it here: https://store.thekarlfeldtcenter.com/products/healing-withinPrice: $24.99100% Off Discount Code: CANCERPODCAST2-----------------------------------------------Integrative Cancer Solutions was created to instill hope and empowerment.

This week, Dominique is joined by Dr. Evan Garfein, Chief of Plastic Surgery at Montefiore Medical Center and Professor of Surgery at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine. Together, they dive into one of the most important and often overlooked conversations in women's health: breast cancer, mastectomy, identity, and the power of choice in reconstruction.Dr. Garfein has dedicated his career to helping women restore both their bodies and confidence after breast cancer. With more than 60 peer-reviewed publications, three biomedical patents, and nearly a decade named in New York Magazine's Best Doctors, he is not only a surgeon but an advocate. He helped author a New York State law requiring doctors to inform women of their right to reconstruction, a crucial step toward bridging healthcare inequality.In this episode, Dominique and Dr. Garfein discuss:What inspired him to leave cardiac surgery and dedicate his life to breast reconstructionHow reconstruction has evolved from early muscle-flap techniques to modern options like implants and DIEP flapsThe emotional impact of mastectomy and why reconstruction is about more than appearanceThe critical importance of timing, radiation, and why women must speak to a plastic surgeon early in their diagnosisThe hidden inequality in breast cancer care, and his fight to make reconstruction information and access a legal right for all womenClarifying implant safety, longevity, and the truth behind breast implant illness and removal trendsFor more on Dr. Garfein, follow him on:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drevangarfein/?hl=en Website: https://evangarfeinmd.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/evan-garfein-md-mba-800ba03/ This episode is brought to you by:Ritual: My listeners get early access to their Black Friday sale with 40% off your first month at Ritual.com/OVER50 Honeylove: Save 20% at honeylove.com/OVER50Clean Simple Eats: Visit https://glnk.io/73q00/dominique and use code FLOURISHING20 at checkout for 20% off your first orderRidge Wallet: Head to Ridge.com to get up to 47% off your order.Timeline Nutrition: Head to timeline.com/flourishing to get 20% off your order.

When a child melts down in public or refuses to eat, the world sees “bad behaviour.” But often, what looks like defiance or poor parenting is actually neurodivergence — and a family doing their best in a system that doesn't understand them.In this deeply validating conversation, Jane sits down with Tracey Jewel — author, advocate, and mum of a neurodivergent family — to talk about reframing “bad parenting” through a neurodiverse lens. From ARFID and sensory overload to the grief and joy of parenting differently, this episode challenges the idea of what a “good parent” looks like and celebrates authenticity over appearances.What You'll HearTracey's journey from reality TV to raising an ADHD + autistic son — and discovering her own diagnosisThe hidden grief of parenting a child who doesn't fit the mould — and how to hold both love and loss at onceWhat ARFID really looks like in real life (and why it's not just “fussy eating”)Why “structure” isn't always the solution for neurodivergent families — and when it can become oppressiveThe difference between co-regulation and control: what actually helps during a meltdownHow to reframe “fairness” in families where everyone's needs look differentThis Episode Is For You If...You've ever felt judged in public for your child's behaviourYou're raising an ADHD or autistic child and constantly second-guessing yourselfYou've wondered why “routine” doesn't work for your family the way it seems to for othersYou're craving a conversation that feels real, not sugar-coatedKey TakeawayWhat looks like chaos is often communication. When we stop chasing “good parenting” and start embracing true connection, our families thrive in their own rhythm — even if it doesn't look like anyone else's.Resources MentionedInclusive Mums Club — Tracey Jewel's Perth-based and online community for neurodivergent families.

Send us a textLive from Pathology Visions 2025 in beautiful San Diego, I sat down with Imogen Fitt from Signify Research to explore how AI, digital pathology, and interoperability are transforming the way we diagnose cancer and deliver patient care.The conference theme, “From Pixels to Patients,” perfectly captures this year's shift — from theoretical discussions about AI to real-world implementation and measurable outcomes.We're no longer just asking “what can AI do?” — we're seeing how it's actually improving accuracy, reducing barriers, and connecting pathologists and labs worldwide.What We Discuss1️⃣ From Hype to Application This year, the buzz wasn't about AI's potential — it was about how it's being used. We highlight case studies showing how digital tools are reducing diagnostic errors, improving collaboration, and even helping smaller labs digitize faster and more affordably.2️⃣ PathPresenter's Expanding Role We dive into PathPresenter's innovative model that gives users access to digital pathology at no initial cost, opening the door for over 75,000 professionals across 62 institutions. I share why I personally use PathPresenter for teaching and how it's helping lower the barrier to entry for education, consultations, and patient care.3️⃣ New Scanning Technology and Accessibility We talk about compact scanners like Grundium's four-slide scanner and new miniature models that make digitization possible even in smaller labs. The message is clear: you don't need a massive system to start going digital.4️⃣ Collaboration and AI in Action Imogen shares updates from across Europe and Asia, including how hospitals are tackling storage, AI regulation, and workflow efficiency. We discuss emerging partnerships—Fujifilm, Voicebrook, Dolby, and others—that are making voice dictation, chat agents, and real-time AI insights part of the modern pathology cockpit.5️⃣ The Human Side of AI Adoption We also reflect on how digital pathology is changing careers and training. Younger pathologists expect digital tools as part of their workflow — and many won't settle for less. We discuss how this new generation is driving adoption and pushing institutions to modernize.My ReflectionsI still remember when digital pathology felt intimidating — when only a few people were “allowed” to touch the scanner. But today, that's changed completely.Now, we're living in an era where AI and digital pathology are not optional — they're essential. The technology has matured, and so has the mindset around it.
