Season 10 Ep 9: Maimah Karmo- Dismissed by Doctors: Turning a Breast Cancer Diagnosis into a Movement What if you know something is wrong, but the doctors tell you you're fine? When Maimah Karmo discovered a lump at just 32 years old, she refused to ignore what her body was telling her, even after being told she didn't fit the profile for breast cancer. In this conversation, she reflects on being dismissed, how being a young Black woman shaped her experience, and why that diagnosis became the catalyst for a lifelong mission to help other women find their voices in their own healthcare. Together, Tes and Maimah discuss trusting your instincts, the realities of healthcare disparities, and why asking questions can be just as important as finding answers. It's a conversation about resilience, purpose, and refusing to accept "you're fine" when you know something isn't right. On February 28, 2006, at 4:45 p.m., Maimah was diagnosed with Stage 2 breast cancer. She had no family history and was 32-years old. While undergoing her second round of chemotherapy, she made a promise to God that if she survived, she would create an organization to educate, empower, advocate for and support young women affected by breast cancer. After her second treatment, Tigerlily Foundation was born. Tigerlily provides breast health, educational, empowerment wellness and transformational programs to young women, and works to end disparities of age, stage and color. A first-generation immigrant from Liberia, who has experienced disparities first-hand, she is a leader in the women's health field, creating and implementing national health initiatives for women and girls, with a goal of eliminating disparities of age, stage and color. Under Maimah's leadership, Tigerlily Foundation has launched national and global health initiatives focused on ending disparities, through the #InclusionPledge, partnering with global stakeholders, with a call to action to recognize health disparities as a social justice issue; and working to end disparities for black women in our lifetime. In 2010, Maimah published Fearless: Awakening to my Life's Purpose Through Breast Cancer. In 2018, she published the “Badass Girl's Book of Prayers”. She recently published Divine Downloads: Transforming through Trauma, followed by Unicorn Boss, in June 2020. Most dear to her heart is her 20-year old daughter, Noelle. Noelle and Maimah dote on their Morkies, Honey and Sugar . . . . . .

This Day in Legal History: The First Federal Income TaxOn August 5, 1861, President Abraham Lincoln signed the Revenue Act of 1861, and with it created the first federal income tax in the history of the United States. The country was three months into the Civil War, the Union's costs were exploding, and the government needed money on a scale the old system of tariffs and land sales simply couldn't provide. So Congress reached for something new: a tax of three percent on annual incomes over $800.The 1861 income tax was, in practice, a bit of a false start. The $800 threshold meant only a small slice of the population owed anything, the administrative machinery to collect it barely existed, and in fact no income tax was ever actually collected under the 1861 Act—it was superseded the next year by the Revenue Act of 1862, which built the real apparatus, including the office of the Commissioner of Internal Revenue, the direct ancestor of the modern IRS. But the significance of August 5, 1861 is conceptual and enduring: it was the moment the federal government first asserted the power to tax the incomes of individual Americans directly.That assertion would be contested for decades—the Supreme Court struck down a later income tax in 1895, and it took the Sixteenth Amendment in 1913 to settle the question for good. But the line runs straight from Lincoln's wartime measure to the entire modern federal tax system. It's a fitting anniversary for a day when one of our stories is about the fees and sanctions flowing from a lawsuit against the IRS—the very institution whose origins trace back to this Civil War revenue scramble. The income tax was born of necessity, in the middle of the gravest crisis the country ever faced, and it's been at the center of American political and legal argument ever since.After Trump's roughly $10 billion lawsuit against the IRS was thrown out as brought in “bad faith,” a federal judge ordered him to pay the legal fees of those who fought it—and now the Justice Department is fighting the size of that bill. In this particular case, the challengers are seeking a fairly modest sum, around $43,500. But it's part of a much bigger pattern: according to a Bloomberg analysis, attorneys have sought fees topping $100,000 in at least ten cases over the past year, totaling more than $2.5 million, and the DOJ is pushing courts to throw out or shrink many of those requests. Here's the legal mechanism at work. Ordinarily in American litigation, each side pays its own lawyers—that's the “American rule.” But courts can shift fees onto a party as a sanction when a lawsuit is frivolous or brought in bad faith, which is exactly what happened with the IRS suit, a case that also named Trump's sons and alleged harm from the leak of the family's tax records. Fee-shifting like this is meant to deter abusive litigation and to make whole the people forced to defend against it. The significance—and the irony—is that after a court found the underlying suit was an abuse of the judicial process, the government is now spending its lawyers' time contesting comparatively small fee awards owed to the people who were dragged into it. And because the DOJ is doing the contesting, it's taxpayers funding both sides of that fight. It's a small-dollar story that illustrates a large-dollar problem: what happens, and who pays, when the government itself is found to have litigated in bad faith. Trump fights fees for challengers in lawsuit against IRS | ReutersYahoo Finance (Bloomberg) · AOLA federal appeals court has overturned a ban on Perplexity's AI-powered shopping agents accessing Amazon—and it's a genuinely landmark ruling for the future of “agentic” artificial intelligence. Back in March, a court had temporarily barred Perplexity's shopping tool, built into its Comet browser, from operating on Amazon's platform. Amazon's legal theory rested on the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act—the federal anti-hacking statute that makes it illegal to access a computer “without authorization.” Amazon argued that when Perplexity's AI agent logs into Amazon and shops on a user's behalf, that's unauthorized access. The appeals court disagreed, and the reasoning is what makes this important: the court found Amazon unlikely to succeed, concluding that it was Perplexity's users—real people, with real Amazon accounts—who were accessing the platform, not Perplexity itself. The AI agent was simply acting as the user's tool. This is the first time a federal appeals court has addressed whether AI agents acting on behalf of users can lawfully access online platforms, and that question is about to be everywhere. We're heading into a world where your AI assistant books your travel, does your shopping, and manages your accounts—and the legal system has to decide whether that's you using a tool, or a company trespassing on someone else's system. The significance is that this ruling plants an early flag on the side of the user: if you're authorized to be somewhere online, your AI agent acting for you is authorized too. Expect this to be cited constantly as the agentic-AI economy collides with decades-old computer-access law. Amazon loses US court ban on Perplexity's AI shopping tools | ReutersBloomberg Law · EngadgetA federal judge has dismissed the last of the January 6 Oath Keepers prosecutions—but he did so under vocal protest, in a rebuke that is itself the story. U.S. District Judge Amit Mehta granted the Justice Department's motion to drop the cases against nine remaining Oath Keepers members tied to the Capitol attack, closing out the final chapter of the January 6 prosecutions. The dismissal flows from the administration's decision, on the first day of Trump's second term, to drop all pending January 6 cases. Here's the legal framework and the tension inside it. Under the rules of criminal procedure, prosecutors have broad power to dismiss charges, and courts generally must defer to that call—the executive branch, not the judge, decides whom to prosecute. Mehta acknowledged the government had the authority. But he made unmistakably clear he thought it was wrong, writing that “today's epilog diminishes the gravity of that day, denigrates the work of the prosecutors and law enforcement officers who secured these convictions, and excuses criminal acts that caused a centuries-long pillar of our democracy—the peaceful transfer of presidential power—to buckle.” That's extraordinary language from a sitting federal judge. The significance is a stark illustration of the limits of judicial power against prosecutorial discretion. A judge who presided over these seditious-conspiracy trials, who saw the evidence and entered the convictions, had to sign the order erasing them because the decision to prosecute—or not—belongs to the executive. He could register his profound disagreement for the historical record, but he could not stop it. It's a study in where one branch's power ends and another's begins. US judge grants Justice Department bid to dismiss Oath Keepers prosecutions | ReutersWashington Post · CNNAnd finally, a divided federal appeals court has ruled that the EPA cannot claw back roughly $20 billion in clean-energy grants—another decision drawing a hard line around executive power over money that Congress has already committed. The D.C. Circuit restored an injunction against EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin's move to terminate grants that had been awarded to nonprofit groups from the Greenhouse Gas Reduction Fund, a $27 billion program Congress created in the 2022 Inflation Reduction Act to finance renewable-energy projects, including in communities historically shut out of green financing. Zeldin had frozen the money in early 2025, saying it didn't align with the agency's priorities and might be tainted by fraud, waste, and abuse. The court wasn't persuaded: six judges concluded that terminating the grants and clawing back the funds “based solely on a policy disagreement” likely violated the Inflation Reduction Act, and pointedly noted the EPA gave no assurance it would leave the money alone if the injunction were lifted. This should sound familiar—it's the same principle we saw when a judge blocked the administration from canceling grants it deemed inconsistent with its priorities. The significance is the recurring constitutional boundary of this era: when Congress appropriates money for a purpose and an agency awards it, a new administration generally can't just unwind those commitments because it dislikes the policy. The EPA says it's reviewing the decision and may take it to the Supreme Court—which would tee up a definitive answer on just how much power a president has to stop spending money Congress told him to spend.

The government's own dismissal filing tells the story. According to the motion, it was only after the indictment that the Department of the Interior provided additional documents showing the damage to the reflecting pool stemmed from a flawed installation by a contractor rushing to finish before the America 250 celebrations, not from vandalism. The sealant had reportedly begun peeling almost immediately after the renovation. Hawk notes the filing tries to shift blame to the Interior Department, which he argues only underscores that felony charges were brought against an American without an independent investigation. Hawk sets the dismissal against Donald Trump's repeated public claims that he had photos and video of a 350-foot gash being cut into the pool, evidence never produced. He places it in a pattern of high-profile cases out of the D.C. US Attorney's office that have stumbled, and argues it reflects what happens when prosecutorial power is used to pursue targets rather than evidence.

The contrast is the whole story. Trump had repeatedly claimed he possessed photos and video of a 350-foot gash being cut into the pool, and Interior Secretary Doug Burgum echoed that proof existed. Yet the dismissal filing attributes the damage to a defective installation that began failing almost immediately, and Hawk argues no criminal conduct occurred at all. He walks through why a prosecutor should never hold a national press conference without personally reviewing the evidence first. Hawk connects it to a broader pattern: DC grand juries declining to indict in several high-profile matters, other indictments dismissed over alleged grand jury misconduct, and federal judges increasingly wary of DOJ representations. He argues the reflecting pool collapse, like the stumbles around the Comey and James cases, reflects a Justice Department pursuing targets without the evidence to back the charges, and predicts Pirro's standing is slipping.

After more than two decades as a board certified OBGYN and over a decade as a specialist in sexual medicine and menopause, I have come to believe that one of the biggest obstacles in women's healthcare is not the absence of treatments or research. It is dismissal.This is not just something I see in my patients. I have lived it too. I share a story from my own birth experience that I have not talked about much publicly, and it changed how I think about what it means to navigate a system that was not built to listen to women. If it happened to me, someone who worked inside that system every day, I think about what it means for women who do not have the same access or the same voice.That is also what led me to write Brown Girls' Disease. The women who struggle most in this system are almost always the ones who have been told the longest that nothing is wrong, and I wrote this book for them. We talk about what is in it, who it is for, and why the title means so much more than it might seem at first.My mission has always been simple. I want women to feel seen, heard, and believed. This episode is about why that still matters so much.Highlights: Dismissal is one of the biggest obstacles in women's healthcare today.Why siloed medicine means women fall through the cracks.The story behind the phrase brown girls' disease.Why naming a condition can be part of patients healing.The movement to end dismissal in women's health.About the Book:Brown Girls' Disease: A Guide to Sexual Health and Empowerment Through a South Asian Lens by Dr. Sameena Rahman is available for pre-order now on Amazon, releasing October 6th.The book covers foundations of sexual health, the intersection of culture, religion, and colonization with sexual dysfunction, medical bias and implicit bias, trauma and mental health, and conditions including vaginismus, persistent genital arousal disorder, libido and arousal concerns, vulvodynia, perimenopause, menopause, and postpartum sexual health.Get in Touch with Me:WebsiteInstagramYoutubeSubstackPre-Order My Book

Nancy Guthrie's disappearance has produced a contradiction that law enforcement hasn't addressed. Sheriff Nanos publicly dismissed the newest email sent to TMZ, one claiming to include video of the 84-year-old grandmother and her alleged kidnapper, as probably just another fraud. But according to reports, the FBI is investigating that same emailer at the same time, which raises an obvious question: why dismiss a lead your own federal partners are still chasing? It's the latest wrinkle in a case that has already produced multiple arrests for people sending fake ransom notes, alongside at least two separate notes investigators consider more serious. One, sent to a Tucson television station days after Nancy was taken from her home, was described by law enforcement as a legitimate communication from the actual kidnappers rather than a hoax, and reportedly claimed she died shortly after the abduction. If authentic, it may amount to a confession the kidnappers didn't intend to give. Criminal defense attorney Bob Motta and Tony Brueski examine what that note means legally, whether Sheriff Nanos and the FBI are actually working from the same information, and why five months in, there's still no arrest and no body. Retired FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer has separately walked through how difficult it is to authenticate any of these messages without physical confirmation, and why investigators reportedly tried and failed to independently verify Nancy's death. All claims remain reported and unconfirmed, and no one has been charged. The FBI has arrested multiple people already for sending fake ransom notes in this exact case, which makes the emailer's claim harder to wave off without a real explanation. This episode breaks down where local and federal law enforcement seem to disagree, and what that gap might mean for the investigation going forward, and for the family still waiting on answers.

The banjo is one of the most misunderstood instruments in history.Dismissed by some as a relic of hillbillies and folk music, celebrated by others as a symbol of Americana, its true story is far more extraordinary than most people realise.In this monologue, I explore the surprising origins of the banjo, the myths surrounding its identity, how it became America's first great instrument, and why it came to embody something far greater than music alone. Along the way, I reflect on my own unlikely relationship with the instrument, the time my banjo was stolen and promptly abandoned, and why its reputation has always been as divisive as the ideals it has come to represent.But the more I dug into its history, the more I realised this isn't really a story about an instrument.It's a story about America.

In this episode of The Medical Disruptor, I sit down with endocrinologist Dr. Cassie Smith to dismantle the hormone myth that's kept millions of women suffering: the belief that estrogen and hormone therapy cause cancer. Dr. Cassie trained at one of the top metabolism and endocrinology fellowships in the country, was named chief resident, ran clinical trials, and then walked away from conventional medicine because the system was failing her patients, and failing her. What she's seen treating thousands of women tells a very different story than what your doctor was taught. We get into why "normal" thyroid labs don't mean you're healthy, how your gut secretly controls whether your hormones actually work, why TSH is a terrible standalone test, and why hormones done correctly can extend longevity and lower your risk of heart disease, dementia, and disease, not raise it. If you've been hesitant about hormone therapy, this conversation will give you the context you need, so you can make a decision based on how hormones truly work, not on outdated fear.

In Hour 1 Nick Frazier and Big Joe discuss Chaz Coleman being dismissed from the Tennessee Football program, and the question of the day: "You have 10 minutes to spend $10,000, what store would you go to?"
In June 1983, Cindy Paulson ran barefoot across an Anchorage airfield in handcuffs after escaping from Robert Hansen. She told police his name, his address, his car, and his plane. A security guard backed her up. Police investigated — and chose to believe the baker over the teenager.Robert Hansen confessed to killing seventeen women. He flew them into the Alaskan wilderness in his private Cessna and hunted them with a rifle. He marked the burial sites on a map. Some of those confirmed kills happened after Cindy Paulson's report was filed and shelved.This episode of Surviving Serial Killers on History's Hidden Killers asks the question the Anchorage police department has never answered: how many women did Robert Hansen fly into the bush between the day a seventeen-year-old girl told the truth and the day somebody finally listened? The information didn't change. The willingness to believe her did. Glenn Flothe of the Alaska State Troopers read the same file the first officers dismissed — and that's what ended it.Join Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/ Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Tired of Being Dismissed? How to Stop Over-Functioning and Start Protecting Your Heart Have you ever found yourself explaining your needs — again — to someone who just doesn't seem to care? Or quietly wondering, *Is something wrong with me for wanting to be seen?* If that question has lived in your chest for too long, this episode is for you. In this warm, honest conversation, Leslie Vernick coaches Diana and Leanne sit down to tackle three of the most common — and most painful — questions they hear from women every day: Does lacking boundaries make me codependent? What's a healthy response when my needs are dismissed over and over? And where is the line between being responsible and over-functioning? You'll walk away with real clarity, practical language to use in hard moments, and the faith-rooted reminder that God never intended for you to erase yourself to keep the peace. --- Key Takeaways A Lack of Boundaries Is Often About Survival — Not a Character Flaw Codependency isn't a label to shame yourself with — it's often a survival strategy that developed when you learned that love meant silence, sacrifice, and self-forgetting. As Coach Diana reminds us, many women were simply never taught that they were allowed to have needs. Mark 12:31 calls us to love others as we love ourselves — and that verse quietly assumes there is a self worth caring for. Boundaries aren't the opposite of love; they're how you love wisely without disappearing. You Don't Have to Beg for What Love Gives Freely When your needs are dismissed again and again, your body begins to believe a lie — that you don't matter. Coach Leanne shares honestly that chronic dismissal wears down the soul and scrambles the mind. The healthy response isn't to fight harder for recognition; it's to notice the pattern, name what's happening, and then limit your vulnerability with people who have shown they won't honor it. Psalm 34 reminds us that God is close to the brokenhearted — and you always have an audience with Him, even when others keep turning away. Speak Up — Then Let It Be on Them Coaches Diana and Leanne offer a powerful, practical framework: state your need clearly and honestly, make a note in your journal that you've said it, and then stop repeating yourself. You are not responsible for making someone understand what they are choosing not to hear. A simple, grounded statement — "I won't continue this conversation without mutual respect in the room" — is not drama. It is dignity. And once you've named it, the next step belongs to them. The Difference Between Helping and Rescuing Over-functioning crosses a line the moment you start doing for someone else what they are fully capable of doing for themselves — and it costs you something precious. As Coach Leanne puts it: *help empowers, rescuing enables.* If exhaustion, resentment, and fear have become your constant companions, that is your signal. Jesus is the Savior. You were never meant to fill that role — and sometimes stepping back is the most loving and courageous thing you can do, both for yourself and for the person you care about. You Get to Steward This One Precious Life One of the most beautiful threads woven through this entire conversation is this: you get to have a self. God doesn't ask you to be erased — He invites you to be grounded. Knowing who you are, what you value, and what you are and aren't responsible for is not selfishness. It is faithful stewardship of the life He gave you. When the fog of over-functioning and people-pleasing lifts, you make room to hear His voice again. --- Personal Invitation Friend, if self-doubt, perfectionism, comparison, or people-pleasing have been quietly running your life — this is your moment to take one brave step forward. I want to personally invite you to join us for Moving Beyond Insecurity Coaching Week — five days of practical teaching, live coaching, and biblical encouragement designed to help you stop living from insecurity and start walking with clarity, courage, and confidence in Christ. And it's only $17. You don't have to keep shrinking back. Come take that one brave step with us: https://leslievernick.com/insecurity --- You are not too much. You are not asking for too much. And you are not alone in this. God sees the quiet ache of being overlooked. He is close to the brokenhearted, and He is not asking you to disappear — He is inviting you to show up, rooted in who He says you are, with your voice intact and your dignity restored. Change is possible. Healing is possible. And with His guidance and a little courage, so is the life where your needs are not just tolerated — but honored. We are so glad you're here.

I am thrilled to connect with Dr. Julia Haffner today. She's a European-trained medical doctor who has worked in internal medicine, geriatrics, family practice, chronic pain therapy, esthetics, and hair transplant surgery, where she continuously saw patients struggling with symptoms their bodies were desperately trying to communicate, yet testing failed to provide answers. Today, we explore where stress lives in the body and why midlife can feel so different for women. We discuss the connection between postpartum experiences and perimenopausal symptoms, the nervous system's relationship with fascia as a sensory organ, and how fascia responds to our personal experiences. We also examine trauma as highly bio-individual, lifestyle changes to support the nervous system during midlife, and how perimenopause impacts our adrenals. Dr. Haffner shares how she prefers to advocate for patients within the medical system, and talks about her app, which is free and available for listeners. We also cover how social media and technology influence our stress levels, Dr. Haffner's meridian-related energetic facelift, and how our emotions connect to our bodies. Stay tuned for today's fascinating and insightful conversation with the delightful Dr. Julia Haffner, who also has a book coming out late this year. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: The similarity between postpartum low-estrogen and perimenopausal symptoms How doctors often focus only on measurable lab data while overlooking nervous system dysregulation and chronic stress Dr. Haffner describes fascia as a sensory organ How Dr. Haffner learned to recognize patterns of tension, stress, emotional overwhelm, and physical trauma within the fascia Why trauma is not limited only to major events like war or abuse Why women tend to become more sensitive to stress, relationships, and environmental pressures as their estrogen declines The value of gentler workouts in midlife to support stress reduction and nervous system regulation without increasing cortisol Why years of chronic stress can leave women feeling depleted during perimenopause How constant scrolling can contribute to low-grade stress within the body Dr. Haffner introduces her menopause symptom tracking app Bio: Dr. Julia Haffner Dr. Julia Haffner is a European-trained medical doctor who worked across internal medicine, geriatrics, family practice, chronic pain therapy, aesthetic medicine, and hair transplant surgery — and kept seeing the same thing: bodies crying out for help that no test could hear. Life took her to Italy with her second daughter, where she discovered the ability to feel into any part of the body and sense what's stored there — a memory, a grief, a fear still frozen in the fascia decades later. What most people call limiting beliefs or self-doubt isn't a mind problem. It's stored in the body. In the tissue. In the fascia. And it stays there until someone helps it release. Over 1,000 remote sessions later: cancer in remission, chronic pain dissolved, self-doubt cleared from the body, the spark returning. She is the creator of the Energetic Facelift.

Brendan and The Boys return for a Monday recording recapping perhaps the biggest content week of the year! Now armed with a weekend of data following Friday's bonus Happy Hour episode, the three further unpack the absolute domination of Lanny Wadkins' $25 million renovation of TPC Craig Ranch by this week's field at THE CJ CUP Byron Nelson. Wyndham Clark shot a final-round 60 en route to his first win in over two years, edging out Si Woo Kim and Scottie Scheffler atop the leaderboard. Joseph comes armed with stats showing that this might've been the easiest PGA Tour event ever and PJ is basking in the glow of a week that provided some of the most insane quotes possible regarding a host venue's ability to test the best players in the world. Brendan ponders whether Wyndham is back on track for a spot at this year's Presidents Cup as he seems to be in a better place after a "year of adversity" as was so often referenced on the broadcast. Blades Brown felt right at home during this week's birdie-fest, claiming that his time on the Korn Ferry Tour prepared him for tournaments like this. He secured his Special Temporary Membership on the PGA Tour with his top-15 finish, leading to a perplexing situation where he'll have to sacrifice much-needed KFT points in order to continue playing PGA Tour events. Brendan and Joseph argue that this should not be the case and wonder if this pathway will be adjusted moving forward. The three whip through the rest of this weekend's results, with PJ providing some exclusive on-the-ground nuggets from the Champions Tour stop in Morocco. They foray into a brief bit of news reporting from Eamon Lynch regarding the "Tier One" and "Tier Two" events on the 2028 PGA Tour schedule and whether the top-tier of players will be allowed to "move down" for a week and play "Tier Two" events. To close things out, Brendan, Joseph, and PJ follow up just a little bit on Friday's breaking news that Don Rea was dismissed from his post as President of the PGA of America. Don has stayed silent to this point, and so has the PGA despite promising a formal announcement on Friday afternoon. How long will this silence last?
