Most of us have experienced two kinds of work: the kind that energizes us, and the kind that feels exhausting, even when we're perfectly capable of doing it. And when we're faced with working with others' strengths and priorities, things can get complicated fast. This episode of the Forward Thinking Podcast features Paula Horwitz, VP of Event Management, FCCS, and Ryan Gray, Master Facilitator of Working Genius and expert on turning differences into strengths instead of a source of frustration. Ryan will be a Keynote Speaker at the 2026 FCCS Director Leadership Conference. Together, Ryan and Paula discuss harnessing work energy, personalities versus productivity, and what it takes to lead a thriving, successful team. Episode Insights Include: Common talented team struggles Super talent can be confused with efficient teamwork. An overemphasis on team weaknesses prevent teams from working together as efficiently as possible Often, teams focus on labels that highlight flaws instead of features, such as 'overworked' instead of productive'. Why do leaders overlook the draining aspects of work? Capability and desire are two different things- just because someone is good at something doesn't mean they want to do it all day long. Working competencies are the work that we do well, whether or not we love it. Working frustrations have the tendency to drain us more rapidly. Leaders tend to assume that everyone is happiest when they are simply doing the things they love, rather than doing the things that provide opportunities for growth. What makes people productive? Consider whether the right people are doing the right work at the right stages of the work process. Productivity starts when leaders stop expecting everyone to be good at everything Each team member should be assigned to best-fit work for increased energy and fulfillment. Navigating team member differences Every team member brings their own preferences and personalities. Leaders who are creative in their feedback verses those who are critical will see very different results in the satisfaction and productivity of their team. Differences can be utilized in effective ways once they are positively identified. Signs for leaders to look for Pay attention to energy just as much as performance. Nonverbal cues can offer insights into whether the work is the right fit. Watch for clues of burnout in team members. What changes when key contributions are identified? Increased self-awareness is present and lends itself to improved teamwork. Better questions are easier to ask when strengths are identified. A visual representation of team dynamics can help identify strengths and areas for change. Team dynamics can be tweaked and improved with Ryan's advice. AH-HA moments come as productivity tools and assessments are utilized. This podcast is powered by FCCS.

Parson's chameleons are famous for how much water they need. But how you provide it depends on where you live. In this Parson's Chameleon Month episode, I'm joined by Robin Villere of Nealon Reptiles. Robin keeps Parson's in a very humid climate, and I keep mine in a dry one. So Robin's challenge is getting water out of the system, and mine is constantly adding it in. We compare our approaches to indoor caging and hydration, including: Why constant high humidity causes problems in a captive enclosure, even though wild Parson's live in it How effective overnight fogging really is for hydration, and how much daytime touch-up is needed How to measure whether your hydration system is working Differences between watering wild-caught and captive-hatched animals Whether this schedule works for other Calumma species like brevicorne, malthe, and the Shamrock chameleon Care differences between Calumma parsonii parsonii and C. p. cristifer We also talk about the Chameleon Academy "Parson's Pact," and how to honestly decide whether a Parson's is right for you.

When someone in a high conflict relationship insists their partner is entirely uncaring, is that the whole truth — or a sign of something else going on underneath? This episode puts one hypothetical high conflict case through two very different lenses to find out.Bill Eddy, LCSW, JD, and Megan Hunter, MBA, sit down with psychoanalyst Dr. Anthony Mazzella to compare the CARS Method with a psychoanalytic approach to containment, splitting, and setting limits that actually hold. They work the same scenario side by side — a spouse convinced her husband is entirely rejecting her — to show where connecting and EAR statements line up with clinical containment, and where the two approaches genuinely split. Whether you're in HR, mediation, or your own living room, you'll walk away with two working models for the same hard moment.It's All Your Fault is produced by TruStory FM.Full Show Notes & ResourcesSubmit Questions | Bookstore | WebsiteImportant Notice: Our discussions focus on behavioral patterns rather than diagnoses.

What happens when two people fall in love, marry, and then discover they no longer share the same religious beliefs? Dennis Prager explores the challenges couples face when one spouse is religious and the other is not, when they practice different faiths, or when one partner’s beliefs change over time. Listeners share their experiences with religious differences in marriage, including couples navigating Christianity and Judaism, varying levels of observance, and the difficult questions that arise when raising children. Dennis discusses the importance of mutual respect, shared values, and thinking through religious differences before marriage. But what happens when one spouse changes the rules of the relationship by becoming more religious, less religious, or converting to another faith? Dennis explains why these changes can profoundly affect a marriage and offers advice for couples trying to find a way forward.

President Xi Jinping will pay a state visit to the United States from Wednesday to Friday at the invitation of US President Donald Trump. The visit, which comes 11 years after Xi's previous state visit to the US in September 2015, is of strategic significance to guide the development of the world's most important bilateral relations.The world has undergone profound changes during the past 11 years. Yet one thing has not changed: Stability of the relations between the world's two largest economies aligns with the world's expectations for certainty and common development.Xi's forthcoming visit presents an important opportunity for the two heads of state to maintain strategic communication, consolidate common understandings and give further substance to the vision of building a constructive China-US relationship of strategic stability that they agreed on during Trump's state visit to China in May.Head-of-state diplomacy plays an irreplaceable strategic role in the development of China-US relations. The experience of recent years has demonstrated that head-of-state diplomacy has always been able to provide valuable certainty and strategic guidance for bilateral relations at critical moments, and can be called the anchor of Sino-US ties.Xi's visit offers another opportunity to build on this momentum. According to Chinese Foreign Ministry spokesman Guo Jiakun, Xi will have an in-depth exchange of views with Trump on major issues concerning China-US relations as well as world peace and development. Such direct communication is particularly important at a time when the international environment is becoming more unpredictable.The visit will be conducive to turning the vision of a constructive Sino-US relationship of strategic stability into a sustained pattern of interaction."Constructive strategic stability" should be positive stability, in which cooperation is the mainstay and the relationship becomes more resilient through exchanges and cooperation. It should be healthy stability, in which competition remains within proper limits and does not become a zero-sum contest. It should be constant stability, in which differences are manageable and bilateral relations do not become a geopolitical roller coaster. And it should be lasting stability, in which peace is foreseeable and conflict and war are unacceptable. The interaction to realize that vision requires the concrete actions of both sides.The more uncertain the international environment becomes, the greater the need for the two sides to maintain open channels, through which disagreements can be addressed before they become miscalculations.Emerging technologies, such as artificial intelligence, make this need particularly urgent. As two major players in AI, China and the US have a responsibility to discuss how it can be developed and used safely and responsibly.The China-US economic and trade consultations in New York offer a concrete illustration of what dialogue can achieve. Previous consultations have already proved that generally balanced and positive outcomes can be produced. The lesson is that differences can be managed when both sides choose dialogue over assumptions, consultation over escalation and mutually beneficial outcomes over zero-sum calculations.People-to-people exchanges are equally important. Xi's visit to the US comes during the Mid-Autumn Festival, a traditional Chinese occasion associated with reunion. The timing gives the visit an additional human dimension. Relations between major countries ultimately rest on relations between their peoples, especially the youth.Economic cooperation is the ballast for bilateral relations. China's 15th Five-Year Plan (2026-30) is not only a development blueprint but also a potential cooperation list. China's continuing economic transformation, expansion of domestic demand, technological upgrading and opening-up create opportunities for businesses from around the world, including US companies. A constructive relationship of strategic stability should allow those opportunities to be explored.Ultimately, the healthy and stable development of China-US relations requires correctly understanding each other's strategic intentions; firmly advancing mutually beneficial cooperation; effectively managing differences; and cultivating friendship between the two peoples.The three China-US joint communiques have laid the political foundation for bilateral relations. The two countries' complementary economic structures provide a broad basis for win-win cooperation. Differences in various fields should serve as motives for dialogue rather than reasons for confrontation. And their shared responsibility to contribute to world peace and stability gives the relationship its broader international purpose.Xi's visit can help consolidate the hard-won stabilizing trend in Sino-US relations. It is expected to demonstrate that both sides possess the political wisdom and willingness to ensure the healthy, stable development of ties, serving the common interests of both countries and the global community.

We are sharing some of our favorite episodes from the podcast this month as we wind down the summer. Next up is this conversation we had about how we view our spouse's differences and the ways our perspective can make a world of difference.When you look at your spouse, do you notice how their unique way of thinking fills the gaps in your own? Do you celebrate how they approach life differently?If most of us were honest, we are far more likely to notice these differences in a negative light. It irks us when our spouse loads the dishwasher the “wrong” way or takes a different route to church. We can wonder what in the world they are thinking and how our differences, that cause so much stress and strife, could ever be viewed as an asset. In this conversation, we address why we can struggle to celebrate our spouse's strengths, skills, talents, and qualities that make them special.In our own marriage, we encountered moments where the character we love about our spouse is also the thing that costs us something. For me, I took pause when Rob's love of learning meant an investment of time and money to pursue a master's degree. For Rob, my gift of hospitality collided with his introverted personality and took him out of his comfort zone.In this episode, we share:How we have seen each other as a liabilityHow to shift your mindset in a more positive directionHow to see your spouse as an assetAnd much more!We hope you enjoy this conversation!
A sermon preached by Rev. Ginger Gaines-Cirelli with Foundry UMC September 13, 2026, the sixteenth Sunday after Pentecost. “Be Astonished” series. Texts: Psalm 100, Colossians 3:11-17 There is something about this Sunday that feels different. Some of it is simply the rhythm of the year. Summer vacations are winding down. School is back in session. Our groups and classes and choirs and ministry teams are coming back to life. Today we kick off another program year at Foundry. And there is an energy that comes with that. You can feel it. There is something that happens when people gather. When we see people we haven't seen for a while. When a room fills up. When conversation and laughter get louder. When voices join together in song. What is that? Over the next six weeks, we are going to explore that question—and a number of others like it—as we begin a new worship series called “Be Astonished.” The title is inspired by a poem called “Sometimes,” by Mary Oliver, a poet whose work has helped many people pay closer attention to the wonder of this world. Near the end of that poem, Oliver offers what she calls “Instructions for living a life”: “Pay attention. Be astonished. Tell about it.” What a beautiful invitation. And a good reminder in the swirl of life and the distractions that invade our spaces all day every day—so many of which are painful: another act of violence. Another cruelty. Another frightening headline or devastating image. Paying attention to wonder doesn't ask us to look away from any of that. It asks us to refuse to look only at that. Because every day, even in the midst of all that is heartbreaking and wrong, there is also beauty and goodness and love. There are obvious wonders like a spectacular sunset or the face of a newborn baby. But wonder is also tucked into ordinary places: a song that lifts our spirit, a single flower pressing through pavement, tenderness offered in grief, suddenly seeing something familiar as though for the first time. Pay attention. The pain is real. And so is the beauty. The cruelty and grief are real. But, oh, so are the kindness and the love. We can hold these things together. Perhaps part of what sustains us for faithful life is learning to do exactly that. So for the next several weeks, we're going to practice paying attention to what inspires awe and ask what it might reveal about God, ourselves, one another, and this beautiful and broken world. And as we begin, there is a beautiful convergence I hadn't noticed in my initial planning. At sundown this past Friday, our Jewish neighbors began Rosh Hashanah, entering the ten holy days leading to Yom Kippur—days traditionally known as the High Holy Days or the Days of Awe. Days of Awe. Their practice during these days is also about paying attention—to life and relationships, to what has been and what might yet be. They stand in awe before their Creator as they honestly reflect on how they are living, as they seek and offer forgiveness, and turn again toward God and neighbor. What a wonderful reminder: awe isn't only about fleeting moments of wondrous beauty. Awe can give us perspective, help us see more fully, and remind us that us that even amid pain and brokenness, God's mercy and love are also part of the story. The social psychologist Dacher Keltner has spent years studying this experience of awe[i] —something poets, artists, and religious traditions have been talking about forever. His research identifies eight common sources of awe, experiences that can pull us out of our preoccupation with ourselves and into deeper connection with others and the wider world. And one of those wonders is, well, look around. It is us. It is other people. More specifically, it's what can happen when human beings gather together. Keltner uses an old sociological term for this experience: “collective effervescence.” Now, I know. That sounds like something you would order at a fancy bar. But you know the experience. You've been at a concert when thousands of people suddenly sing the same words together. (“Sweet Caroline!...) You've been at a game and all of a sudden you're doing the Wave. You've been at a vigil when hundreds of people fell silent together. You've marched with others for something you believe in. Maybe you've been in this sanctuary when we started singing a hymn and somewhere along the way it felt as though you weren't singing the hymn anymore. The hymn was carrying you. Something happens when human beings gather, when our bodies move together, our voices join together, our attention turns toward the same thing. For a moment, the boundaries of the individual self become a little more porous. The world is not only about me and my concerns and my fears and my little corner of existence. I become part of something larger. Collective effervescence is one, scientific way to describe that. The Psalmist simply says: “Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth! Worship the Lord with gladness; come into God's presence with singing.” Psalm 100 is not a solitary song. The verbs are plural. The invitation is communal. Make a joyful noise together. Serve together. Know together. Enter the gates together. Give thanks together. And at the heart of the psalm is this: “Know that the Lord is God. It is God who made us, and we are God's…” We are God's. There is an alternate ancient reading of that line that says, “God made us, and not we ourselves.” We are not self-created. We are not self-sufficient. We are not self-made people whose lives belong only to ourselves. We are God's. And God made us for relationship, for connection, for community. Maybe that is part of what we experience in these extraordinary collective moments. Something deep within us remembers. I am not alone. I am part of something larger than myself. Sometimes the person standing beside you is part of how God reminds you that you are not alone. And God knows we need that reminder right now. There is so much anxiety in the air. Many are carrying deep concern about what the coming months will hold for our nation, for our neighbors, for people we love. And this weekend carries other memories and meanings as well. Twenty-five years ago, on September 11, our nation experienced an almost unimaginable act of violence and loss. We remember those who died, those who ran toward danger to help, families whose lives were forever changed. We remember the fear and grief of those days. And we remember something else too. We remember how powerfully human beings can be drawn together. Some of that drawing together produced extraordinary courage and generosity and care for neighbor. Strangers helped strangers. People lined up to give blood. Communities gathered to grieve and pray. And we also know that fear can draw people together. Fear can create a “we.” So can hatred. So can nationalism. So can the conviction that we will only be safe if they are kept out, silenced, defeated, controlled, destroyed. Collective effervescence is powerful, but it is not automatically holy or healing. Human beings have always been capable of becoming a “we.” The deeper question is: What kind of “we” are we becoming? The small Christian community at Colossae was trying to figure out what it meant to follow Jesus in a world filled with competing claims about who they were and where they belonged. Who was the “we” they were becoming? Their world knew how to categorize people just as well as ours does. Those categories carried judgments about who was civilized, who had status and power, who belonged—and who was looked down on, ignored, kicked out. And into that world comes this astonishing claim: “Christ is all and in all.” Differences don't disappear. But the categories human beings use to separate and assign value to one another cannot diminish God's creative design. We are part of something bigger—someone bigger—than ourselves. We are the Body of Christ. And if we are paying attention, if we remember we are created by God to be connected one to another as members of the Body, then we begin to understand how we are called to live and move together in ways that nurture and sustain our shared life. The author of the letter to the Colossians describes it poetically saying to the Body: “Clothe yourselves with compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience.” Bear with one another. Forgive one another. And “above all, clothe yourselves with love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.” Let the peace of Christ be the rule and not the exception among you. Teach, sing, be thankful together. Practice becoming the “we” you are created to be. Practice. Because Christian community doesn't happen simply by occupying the same sanctuary for an hour on Sunday. It takes practice! Compassion for those we find difficult, humility as we listen to others, forgiveness of those who hurt us, and—Lord have mercy—patience in the midst of all the things…every one of these take practice. And this is why I get excited about a Sunday like this one. Because what we're beginning today is not simply another year of church programming. All those groups and classes and choirs and ministry teams we are launching again aren't just things to fill up the calendar. They are places to practice. Places where we learn to pray and serve and forgive and organize and sing and laugh and sometimes disagree and still come back to the table. Places where we practice paying attention, where we experience awe, collective effervescence, the wonder of being together. What kind of “we” will we practice becoming? There will be plenty of forces in the months ahead trying to answer that question for us. There will be voices telling us whom to fear and invitations to construct our “we” by identifying a “them.” But we are given grace to become another kind of “we.” We are, astonishingly, the Body of Christ. We are given grace to pay attention to the beautiful diversities that make up the human family and the creation as a whole. We are given grace to pay attention to the opportunities for learning and growth all around us. To pay attention to the energy that flows when we move together in the ways of Jesus Christ, when we practice the fruits of the Spirit, when we nurture and honor every member of the Body, when we clothe every thought, word, and deed in love. So pay attention when this room begins to sing. Pay attention when children race through these hallways and somebody greets them by name. Pay attention when people gather around a table and strangers slowly become friends. Pay attention when a group of people decides that someone else's suffering is their concern and figures out what to do about it. Pay attention when someone else's faith carries you because yours isn't quite strong enough that day. Pay attention. Be astonished. Because through it all, beneath it all, within it all, is the goodness of the Lord, whose steadfast love endures forever, whose faithfulness flows to all generations. And that, Beloved, is something worth telling about. [i]Dacher Keltner, Awe: The New Science of Everyday Wonder and How It Can Transform Your Life, Penguin Books, 2023.

Comment le français peut-il devenir une passion ? Aujourd'hui, c'est Dylan qui est au micro : il est un professeur américain de Felicia à l'université, et c'est aussi un francophone qui parle très bien français. Quelle est son histoire avec le français? C'est ce que nous allons découvrir dans cette première partie d'interview. A real conversation with Dylan, an American professor teaching at a French university, about how he fell into — then fell for — the French language almost by accident. This first of two episodes traces his journey from a random high school class choice to his very first hours in Paris, plus a genuinely thoughtful comparison between the American and French university systems, from seminar-style discussions to the physical distances of Parisian student life. The conversational, reflective register here sits comfortably in B2–C1 territory — Dylan expresses complex, nuanced ideas (multilingualism, cultural identity, the privilege of mobility) with real clarity, making this an excellent model for learners working on expressing abstract thoughts naturally in French. It's also a great listen for anyone curious about studying or teaching in France. professeur américain · Nanterre · Ménilmontant · système universitaire français · spoken french · learn french · french stories · authentic french · real french · expat in france · bilinguisme Why do Americans learn French?

“Good in bed” sounds flattering until you notice what it's really measuring. We've all heard it used like a performance review: skilled, enthusiastic, attentive and focused on someone else's experience. But what do we call a woman who is obviously having a great time, who is fully enjoying her own body? The fact that we don't even have easy words for that says a lot about how women's pleasure has been treated, especially when you're dating after divorce and trying to trust yourself again.In this episode I dig into why wanting more can feel uncomfortable or even “wrong,” and how many of us learned to equate self-denial with being a good woman. I talk a little tiny bit of the science of female anatomy but more about the history of the science of the clitoris as this human body part was largely left unlabeled or omitted in major anatomy resources for decades, shaping what gets taught, studied, and prioritized. We also look at the orgasm gap and the research that points to scripts and habits, not “complicated bodies,” including what actually predicts orgasm for women.Finally, we talk about receiving. If compliments, help, or attention feel like something you have to repay, that pattern shows up in intimacy too. I share a simple permission practice you can start this week plus journal questions to help you reconnect with desire in a grounded, shame-free way.

MIRACLES FOR YOU Sondra Ray & Markus Ray on A Course in Miracles
We are addicted to comparisons. We get stuck in the contrasts of "this" versus "that." The dichothomy of "good" versus "evil" preoccupies our mind, and the conflict between the two prevents us from maintaining our Inner Peace. The lesson #262 today asks us to put all comparisons aside. "See no differences," it says. This is particularly important when seeing people whom we have deemed undesireable and as "enermies." Can we let forgiveness rest upon all people? Then we would let go of the notion of "having enemies." I am in the flow of a mind that does not compare and exclude. It does not divide things and people into "these" and "those." We cease to project "guilt" onto ourselves and others. We see only the purity of Christ's Vision, the innocence of our true nature. We are all sinless in truth. We are the Holy Son of God Himself / Herself.

LESSON 262Let Me Perceive No Differences Today.Father, You have one Son. And it is he that I would look upon today. He is Your one creation. Why should I perceive a thousand forms in what remains as one? Why should I give this one a thousand names, when only one suffices? For Your Son must bear Your Name, for You created him. Let me not see him as a stranger to his Father, nor as stranger to myself. For he is part of me and I of him, and we are part of You Who are our Source, eternally united in Your Love; eternally the holy Son of God.We who are one would recognize this day the truth about ourselves. We would come home, and rest in unity. For there is peace, and nowhere else can peace be sought and found.- Jesus Christ in ACIM
Would you dump somebody because your pet didn't like them?A new survey found that nearly one in four pet parents say a pet's negative reaction to someone they're dating would be an immediate deal breaker. Which sounds pretty reasonable... until you meet Nash, the Golden Retriever who recently greeted a burglar inside his house by bringing him toys.So how much should we really trust our pets' reactions to people?In this episode, Amy looks at what your pet's behavior can tell you, what it probably can't, and why the more revealing clue may be how the other person reacts to your pet.Because whether you're dating, moving in together, getting a roommate, or combining households, loving animals isn't necessarily enough. Differences over sleeping arrangements, house rules, vet bills, daily pet care, future pets, and even what happens if the relationship ends can turn into much bigger issues than people expect.In this episode you'll learn:Why a pet's reaction to someone is information, not necessarily a verdictWhat Nash the Golden Retriever can teach us about dogs as “judges of character”Why respecting your pet's boundaries may tell you more about a person than whether your pet likes themWhen fear, growling, snapping, or escalating behavior warrants help from a qualified behavior professionalWhat a recent survey reveals about pets and dating relationshipsWhy “I like dogs” or “I like cats” doesn't necessarily mean two people are pet-compatibleThe house rules couples should discuss before moving in togetherHow different attitudes toward veterinary spending can create major conflictWhy “I'll help with the dog” needs a clearer definitionWhat couples should discuss before adopting a pet togetherWhy pet ownership can get complicated when a relationship endsWhat do you think? Would you end a relationship because your pet didn't like someone? Have you ever had a pet react badly to somebody and later thought they were onto something?

Ready to build your tax-free bucket the right way — BOOK A FREE CALL with DirectedIRA and get the Roth IRA or Roth 401(k) accounts you need set up today!Roth IRAs and Roth 401(k)s share a first name and the same tax-free growth, but almost every rule that governs them is different — and picking the wrong one for your next dollar can cost you real money. Wealth lawyer and real estate investor Mat Sorensen breaks down the five biggest differences between these accounts and the funding order that lets you capture the best of both.What the five differences reveal:• Why high-income earners are phased out of Roth IRA contributions at $153,000 single or $242,000 married filing joint• How the Roth 401(k) allows $24,500 in 2026 versus $7,500 in a Roth IRA, plus catch-up and super catch-up amounts• Why an employer match can double your contribution on day one and should always be captured first• How Roth IRA contributions can come out any time tax- and penalty-free while Roth 401(k) dollars stay locked until 59½• When a 401(k) participant loan of half the balance up to $50,000 becomes your early access option• Why Roth 401(k) dollars can roll into a Roth IRA but Roth IRA dollars can never move back• The three-step funding order that gets the match, the flexibility, and the maximum Roth contributionThe bigger lesson is that these two accounts are teammates rather than rivals. One delivers a larger contribution limit and free employer money, while the other delivers investment freedom, early access to contributions, and control over where your tax-free dollars actually grow. The investors building the largest tax-free buckets are not the ones who picked a side — they are the ones who used both in the right sequence.This strategy is especially valuable for high-income earners, employees with a 401(k) match, self-employed investors using a solo 401(k), younger savers who may need early access, and anyone approaching retirement who wants to start their Roth IRA five-year clock now!Check out my youtube channel for more content on retirement planning and self-directed IRA topics!: https://www.youtube.com/@MatSorensenFor questions or to learn more about this episode's topic, book a call with an IRA specialist here: https://directedira.com/appointment/Interested in learning more about alternative investments?

I just wanted to know from Dr Jordan Emont, our guest on today's show, if there is a common question he gets asked by his patients in his clinic.And after getting such lovely personal insights into Jordan's life, we ended up having an evidence-based conversation about testosterone after cancer, especially for people navigating menopause after breast cancer.We dig into why access in the US is getting harder not easier and how clinicians think about balancing quality of life with safety when the data is still limited.This episode is so true to all the conversations we have on this podcast because it sits right in the middle of a real-world clinical grey area: patients want relief, oncologists want reassurance, and doctors are trying to make thoughtful decisions without perfect long-term trials.Jordan also shares how this topic is evolving in guidelines, why he thinks testosterone can help some people stay on aromatase inhibitors, and where caution still makes sense.Episode Highlights:00:00 Intro09:57 Challenges in Women's Health Narratives13:37 Differences in hormone treatments17:25 Aromatase inhibitors in breast cancer18:55 Discussing testosterone for cancer survivors23:15 Testosterone use and sexual health25:54 Discussing health and energy levels30:10 Long-term safety of testosterone use32:10 Checking testosterone levels timing35:58 Balancing safety and quality of life40:54 Testosterone's role in breast cancer44:39 Discussing hormone therapy benefits48:47 Testosterone use after prostate cancerHere are Dr Emont's links:Here is his Substack about testosterone this which he's made free to access: https://drjordanemont.substack.com/p/testosterone-after-breast-cancerHere's Dr Sarah Glynne's paper on testosterone to treat menopausal symptoms: https://journals.lww.com/menopausejournal/fulltext/10.1097/gme.0000000000002777~use-of-transdermal-testosterone-to-treat-menopausal-symptomsConnect with us:For more information and resources, visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerFind us on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@NavigatingMenopauseAfterCancer Join my NEW blog ‘Still Becoming' on Substack: https://substack.com/@danibinnington?...Buy my book ‘Navigating Menopause After Cancer': https://amzn.eu/d/07dUoYBbJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub
WBSRocks: Business Growth with ERP and Digital Transformation
Send us Fan MailERP selection is no longer just about modules, workflows, integrations, and reporting. Organizations must now understand the architectural differences between AI-powered and AI-native ERP systems. While copilots, AI agents, OCR, predictive analytics, and conversational interfaces may create similar user experiences, what happens underneath can be very different. These architectural choices can affect transactional integrity, governance, scalability, implementation complexity, and long-term maintainability. As vendors race to position their platforms around AI, buyers need to look beyond feature lists and marketing claims. The real question is not simply how much AI an ERP offers, but how AI fits into the underlying architecture and whether that architecture can support the organization's operational requirements over the long term.In this episode, Sam Gupta and Shrestha Dash from ElevatIQ discuss the differences between AI-Native and AI-Powered ERP Systems.Video: https://www.elevatiq.com/events-and-webinars/ai-native-vs-ai-powered-erp-systems-which-ones-are-better/Questions for Panelists?
