Curious if prenatal perineal massage actually works to prevent tears during childbirth? In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker examines the evidence on perineal massage in late pregnancy, separating fact from fiction and sharing what the research really shows. You'll learn what major studies say about perineal massage, why some commonly cited research may not be trustworthy, and whether this practice is truly necessary, especially if you're in a birth setting with low episiotomy rates. You'll also hear some surprising insights on other ways to protect your perineum and reduce your risk of severe tears.

Episode Summary: Trapezius Myalgia – Understanding Upper Trap Pain and How to Treat It In this episode of the Rehab Science podcast, Dr. Tom Walters, DPT, breaks down one of the most common sources of neck and shoulder discomfort—trapezius myalgia. Often experienced as persistent tightness or aching in the upper trapezius muscle, this condition affects individuals who spend long periods sitting, working at a computer, or holding static postures under stress. Dr. Walters discusses the underlying anatomy and biomechanics of the trapezius, highlighting how postural overload, fatigue, and nervous system sensitization contribute to chronic discomfort. He explains why passive strategies like stretching alone may be insufficient, and emphasizes the role of progressive resistance training in improving muscle function and reducing symptoms. The episode concludes with practical movement strategies, rehab principles, and key behavioral tips for lasting relief. Resources

En este episodio nos adentramos en una dimensión tan esencial como olvidada de la recuperación neurológica: la sensibilidad. Exploramos con profundidad la neurofisiología de los sistemas sensoriales, los tipos de sensibilidad, las vías implicadas y los déficits somatosensoriales que pueden aparecer tras un ictus. Hablamos de evaluación clínica y neurofisiológica, de escalas, de estereognosia, de patrones exploratorios, y de la implicación cortical tras una lesión. Abordamos también las principales intervenciones terapéuticas, desde la estimulación eléctrica sensitiva (SAES) hasta el entrenamiento activo sensitivo, repasando la evidencia más actual y las claves para una rehabilitación sensitiva eficaz.

We're living through a hurricane of distraction—constant pings, endless opportunities, and FOMO-fueled comparison. In Episode 5 of our H2 Leader Summer Series, Alan and Jonathan unpack why today's leaders feel overwhelmed yet under-productive, and share a simple but counter-intuitive answer: do fewer things—better. Press play to learn how to develop “healthy tunnel vision” in a scattered world, why prioritization and elimination go hand-in-hand, and how to stay accessible (not available) so you can protect your best work. If you find yourself grasping at tasks like kids in a wind-tunnel booth grabbing dollar bills, this episode will give you a clearer, calmer path forward. Key Takeaways Scattered vs. Strategic: Today's world bombards us like a wind-tunnel booth of swirling dollar bills. You must choose a few priorities—and let the rest go. Effectiveness > Efficiency: Machines optimize for efficiency; leaders optimize for impact by focusing on the right 2–3 actions. Prioritize & Eliminate: To truly excel, ruthlessly say “no” to good things so you can say “yes” to the best things. Accessible ≠ Available: You can remain reachable without being on-call 24/7—protect deep-work blocks as sacred. Model the Change: A leader's bandwidth sets the bar for their team. Guard your own focus to help everyone guard theirs. Reflect & Apply Set aside 10–15 minutes today with your journal or notes app. Answer honestly: How scattered am I right now? Where is your attention leaking? What's distracting me from what matters most? Identify the “dollar bills” you're chasing. What's one commitment I must say “no” to this fall so I can laser-focus on my top priorities? Links & Resources

Getting marketing effectiveness principles to stick at major companies is harder than proving they work. Even when the data shows brand activity drives 65% of sales, internal structures and human psychology work against long-term thinking.This week, Elena and Rob are joined by Simon Peel, managing partner at The Other Lot and former Global Head of Media at Adidas. Simon shares how Adidas discovered that brand activity was driving 65% of sales across all channels, not the digital performance marketing in which they were heavily invested. He reveals the internal battles, years of education, and structural changes needed to make effectiveness principles stick at large organizations.Topics covered: [01:00] Why Adidas publicly admitted their digital advertising mistakes[10:00] The marshmallow effect and why humans default to short-term thinking[16:00] Differences between US and European adoption of effectiveness principles[20:00] Why measurement needs econometrics, randomized tests, and attribution[26:00] How light buyers drove 80-90% of revenue at both Adidas and Haleon[30:00] Why AI will perpetuate bad media buying practices  To learn more, visit marketingarchitects.com/podcast or subscribe to our newsletter at marketingarchitects.com/newsletter.  Resources:  2019 MarketingWeek Article: https://www.marketingweek.com/adidas-marketing-effectiveness/2019 Institute of Practitioners in Advertising Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rbT8TqBUgOsSimon Peel's LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/simon-peel-28a83215/?originalSubdomain=uk Get more research-backed marketing strategies by subscribing to The Marketing Architects on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen to podcasts.

Pascal Papathemelis: Selecting the Appropriate Agile Values for Organizational Impact Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Pascal defines success for Scrum Masters through his recent mantra of "effectiveness over efficiency," "outcome over output," and "create value for the customer." Working with a client introducing a new digital platform, he focuses on understanding the value for both the organization and end customers while minimizing confusion in the process. Pascal emphasizes the importance of ensuring work sustainability over time by focusing on Agile values and principles and their deep understanding. He customizes the Agile Manifesto's values and principles for each organization, such as focusing on customer value, collaboration, and constant learning. Pascal strategically highlights the principles and values that address the biggest challenges facing the organization at any given time, making Agile concepts relevant and actionable for the specific context. Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Sailboat Pascal recommends the sailboat retrospective as his preferred format, though he emphasizes that the choice depends on context and team focus. He values this metaphor-based retrospective because it helps teams discuss critical aspects of their work through different perspectives. The sailboat format allows teams to explore what propels them forward (wind), what holds them back (anchors), what they need to watch out for (rocks), and their destination (island). Pascal also uses timeline retrospectives and stresses the importance of varying retrospective formats to prevent teams from falling into routine patterns that might limit their ability to bring fresh insights to their work. He believes that good data and effective visualization are essential components of any successful retrospective format.

We're constantly told to “do more with less” — but what if that's the wrong goal altogether?In this episode, Eric and Jonathan challenge the traditional definition of efficiency and unpack why it can be a trap for social impact organizations. From donor pressure to staff burnout, they explore how the pursuit of efficiency often undermines effectiveness — and what to prioritize instead if you're serious about sustainable, meaningful impact.➔ Why efficiency and innovation often live at opposite ends of the spectrum. ➔ How serving the process can slowly kill your mission. ➔ What to say when funders fixate on overhead (and how to shift the conversation to impact). ➔ A smarter definition of efficiency: spending time on the right work, not just more work. ➔ What systemic inefficiency looks like — and how to fix it without burning everything down.If you're feeling the pressure to cut corners, over-optimize, or stretch your team thin in the name of “efficiency,” this episode will help you step back, reframe the problem, and refocus on what actually moves the needle.Don't chase efficiency.

In this episode Garth interviews Dan Ariely from Duke University in Durham, NC. Dan shares insights on motivation, fairness in the workplace, and the importance of subjective measures in understanding human interactions. He elaborates on his work during the COVID-19 pandemic and the challenges he faced, including receiving death threats. He emphasizes the role of empathy and understanding in dealing with misbeliefs and polarizing behavior. He also discusses the importance of gratitude, making the invisible visible, and creating more conducive environments for human motivation. The episode concludes with Dan's reflections on the importance of social science in addressing current global challenges. [Note. Portions of the show notes were generated by Descript AI.] Statement from Duke University April 2 2024   About the investigation of my work   Dear friends, partners, and colleagues:   After almost three years, Duke University recently concluded its investigation into my conduct as an academic and researcher. The Investigation Committee assembled by Duke's administration looked thoroughly at my work and found no evidence to support claims that I falsified data or knowingly used falsified data in general and specifically as coauthor of a 2012 paper in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.   The Investigation Committee determined that I should have done more to prevent faulty data from being published in the 2012 paper. Hindsight is 20/20, and upon much reflection, indeed there were extra steps I could have taken to prevent such data from being published. I appreciate the opportunity to learn from this experience, and I would like to reaffirm my commitment to ensuring that my research methodologies at the Center for Advanced Hindsight remain in lockstep with values of integrity, transparency, and accuracy.   I am happy to say I've put this matter behind me and resumed my work at Duke at full speed. To my dear friends and colleagues: Thank you for your continued support.   With all my love and enthusiasm for what lies ahead,   Dan Replications of the 2012 study in question: "How Pledges Reduce Dishonesty: The Role of Involvement and Identification"     Paper: https://tinyurl.com/ycpumrtk     Video discussion with some of the co-authors of the paper https://youtu.be/B_AbAJHRw54 "I Solemnly Swear I'm Up To Good: A Megastudy Investigating the Effectiveness of Honesty Oaths on Curbing Dishonesty":     Paper: https://tinyurl.com/53mbn5ws     Video discussion with a co-author of the paper: https://youtu.be/AjQ58irCZGg

Do you suffer from glossophobia? No pill or injection will cure it. But this week's guest, Ruth Milligan, has a proven antidote for the nearly eight out of ten people who experience anxiety or fear of public speaking — also known as glossophobia. Ruth is the founder and managing director of Articulation, a 15-year-old executive communication coaching consultancy. She is also the co-author of the new book “The Motivated Speaker: Six Principles to Unlock Your Communication Potential.” Ruth was the force behind one of the earliest TEDx events in the country, TEDxColumbus, where she spent a decade observing both masterful and woeful presenters. That experience laid the foundation for her consultancy, which aims to help anyone who needs to improve their message delivery, whether before a large audience in an auditorium or an intimate group of employees and customers. In Ruth's experience, what you say matters—but how you say it often matters more. Ruth and her colleagues at Articulation leave it to others to coach clients on content. Her firm's expertise lies in knowing how to deliver any message in a way that produces the desired results. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

In this engaging episode, Guy talked with Marty Wuttke, a pioneering neurofeedback expert and meditation practitioner, about the critical role of brain function in spiritual awakening and rehabilitation. Marty delved into the science of neuroplasticity, the transformative effects of meditation, and the powerful healing potential within each individual. He shared insights from his extensive experience working with thousands of clients and explains how neurofeedback can assist in treating anxiety, depression, and other disorders. Additionally, Marty recapped his personal journey from overcoming addiction to establishing a meditative and spiritual practice that has shaped his approach to healing. The discussion also touches on the significance of body work and holistic methods in achieving mental and physical well-being. About Marty: As a pioneer in the field of bio- and neurofeedback, Marty developed his unique and holistic approach to neurotherapy (Wuttke Method) based on over 35 years of experience in the field. Beginning as a deeply committed meditation teacher, he quickly saw the need for adding a scientifically based, neurophysiological component to catalyze meditation training and help meditators reach a freer and happier life.  Marty was affiliated with Ridgecrest Hospital and Woodridge Psychiatric Hospital from 1984 to 1995, where he designed and directed the first large-scale inpatient neurofeedback program in the United States. Neurofeedback was used at the hospital as an integral part of the treatment program for over 11 years. Marty was responsible for QEEG evaluation, analyses and application. More than 1500 patients went through his neurofeedback training.  Marty is a pioneer in combining multiple protocols of neurofeedback training as a self-regulation tool for people suffering from a wide array of issues, including: depression, traumatic brain injury, nicotine dependence, eating disorders, chronic pain, anxiety, chemical dependency, and alcoholism. He continues to develop, research, and teach protocols for neurofeedback applications with ADD/ADHD, learning disabilities and developmental disorders, autoimmune disorders, and stress related disorders. In 2003, new advanced whole-body neuro/biofeedback technology hardware and software was developed under Marty's guidance.

"How do you measure the impact you have with your platform engineering initiative?" is a question you should be able to answer. To show improvement you must first need to know what the status quo is. And this is where frameworks such as DX Core 4 come in. Never heard about it? Then tune into this episode where we have Dušan Katona, Sr Director of Platform Engineering at Ataccama, who is a big fan of the DX Core Four Metrics and who has just applied it in his current role to optimize developer experience.Dušan explains the details behind those 4 Core metrics: Speed, Effectiveness, Quality and Impact.

In this episode of the Experience Strategy Podcast, hosts Aransas Savas, Dave Norton, and Joe Pine discuss fashion group Zara's innovative travel mode, which allows users to shop for products while traveling. They explore the concept of 'modes'—temporary mindsets and behaviors that influence customer experiences—and how Zara's travel mode can enhance customer engagement. The conversation delves into the importance of context, opportunities for improvement, and the potential for community building through social media. The hosts emphasize the dynamic nature of modes and the need for behavioral science to further explore this concept. Takeaways Zara's travel mode allows shopping while traveling. Modes are temporary mindsets that influence behavior. Travel mode operates without internet access, enhancing usability. Anticipating customer context is crucial for effective modes. Supporting customer modes can create more buying opportunities. Zara's travel mode is a key conversion strategy. Leveraging community and social media can enhance customer experience. Zara should focus on its strengths in fashion. Behavioral science should study modes more extensively. The dynamic nature of modes offers opportunities for brands.

RFK Jr. is now running the Department of Health and Human Services. So we sat down with journalist and Conspirituality co-host Derek Beres to get an idea about how long it will take for Kennedy's "Make America Healthy Again" (MAHA) agenda to revive the black plague. We chat about why Beres argues that Kennedy's wellness-sounding platform masks an exclusionary health vision which amounts to “soft eugenics,” RFK Jr's endorsement of the MMR vaccine and how this angered his followers, harmful narratives about autism which will probably be endorsed by the federal government, and how the MAHA Commission's AI-generated report doesn't seriously address health problems facing children.
