In this episode of The Egg Whisperer Show, I am joined by Sherri McDonald Sawyerr - IVF mom, content creator, and author of the children's book Love Grew Me - for a real, unfiltered conversation about donor egg conception. Sherri shares her multi-year fertility journey, from early IVF attempts with her own eggs to ultimately finding success with donor eggs after discovering she had adenomyosis, and how she navigated the process as a Black woman in her forties. We go beyond the medical decision and explore the emotional terrain that so many women face but rarely talk about openly - the grief, the relief, the joy, and the identity questions that come with donor conception. Sherri also shares why she started telling her daughter her conception story from day one, what led her to write a children's book about it, and how she's using her platform to normalize donor egg IVF in communities where the conversation is often taboo. In this episode, we cover: The emotional rollercoaster of transitioning from using your own eggs to choosing a donor and how to process those feelings before moving forward How to choose an egg donor, including why you should stop looking for your "twin" and what actually matters The unique challenges Black women face when navigating fertility treatment and finding donors who reflect their identity Why telling your child about their donor conception story early is so important and how to do it with love and confidence How adenomyosis went undiagnosed for years and how treating it finally led to a successful transfer Protecting your postpartum bubble and deciding when (and how) to share your donor conception story with family How Sherri found the courage to go public and write Love Groom Me to fill a representation gap in donor conception literature Resources: Love Grew Me by Sherri McDonald Sawyerr: available on Amazon Sherri's website: iamsherriyvette.com Sherri on Instagram: @iamsherriyvette Sherri on TikTok: @iamsherriyvette Sherri's YouTube channel: Sherri Yvette The Cade Foundation: cadefoundation.org Read the full show notes on Dr. Aimee's website.

This week we are re-releasing a Substack Live from our Breaker community! Mayim and Jonathan are joined by Nicole Sachs, LCSW, a renowned psychotherapist, author, and speaker who has become an internationally recognized pioneer in the field of mind-body medicine. As the architect of the “JournalSpeak” method and host of The Cure for Chronic Pain podcast, Sachs has dedicated her career to treating patients suffering from chronic pain, autoimmune conditions, and fatigue by addressing the underlying emotional components of physical symptoms. Nicole explains that our brains often use physical pain as a “protective” distraction to keep us from feeling overwhelming emotions like rage, shame, or grief. Think of it like an emotional reservoir—when it gets too full, the pressure has to go somewhere, and often, it manifests as a backache, a migraine, or digestive issues. Nicole's story is as relatable as it is miraculous. After a year of being so locked up in pain that she couldn't even put her toddlers in their car seats, she had a spiritual and psychological breakthrough. By getting brutally honest with herself through a specific type of journaling, her chronic back pain was 80% gone by the next morning. Nicole breaks down her healing method into three simple parts that anyone can start today: - Knowledge: Understanding that your brain and body are constantly communicating. - The Work (Journal Speak): A specific, 20-minute daily practice of “unbridled rants” to get the hidden stress out of your system. - Self-Compassion: Learning to change the way you talk to yourself to help your nervous system feel safe. This approach has helped people struggling with fibromyalgia, IBS, migraines, anxiety, PTSD and addiction. As Nicole puts it, pain isn't a “broken” part of you—it's information. Once you learn how to listen to what your body is trying to say, the possibilities for your life are endless.

This week I talked to attorney and writer Savala Nolan. Her newest book, Good Woman, which was named a Most Anticipated Feminist Book of 2026 by Ms. Magazine, is out now. I got to read an early copy and loved it. She writes with raw honesty about making herself smaller, both literally and metaphorically, in order to be a good daughter, a good wife, a good mother, and all the ways she allowed herself to be diminished to keep the peace, and how many others do this too. The 12 essays blend cultural commentary, personal experience, reportage, and history. We talked about the vulnerable process of writing a personal book of essays, including writing about divorce, motherhood, and the importance of respecting one's appetite in every way, from creative to physical. I always love talking to Savala and loved getting to catch up with her here. Let us know if you listen.
ITP - 140 A Liverpool-born educator who once resisted teaching ends up saying yes to South Korea—and never looks back. Ken Bence traces an 18+ year arc from public-school TEFL to PGCE, then into a fast-growing bilingual school in Shanghai where rapid expansion pulled him into hiring, standards alignment, and early leadership. Seeking the IB bridge, he lands in Kuwait and grows into K–12 instructional coaching with the help of strong mentors, then tackles leadership fairs, multiple offers, and a vice head role that drops him back into China just as COVID reshapes borders and daily life. The journey continues through Shenzhen and Chengdu, a doctorate alongside principal work, and a brief interim senior leadership post in Budapest—plus practical rituals that make each new country feel like home: spices, quality bedding, and a folder of notes that keeps the purpose front and center.(00:00) Introduction to Ken Bence and His Journey(02:35) Cultural Shock and First Impressions in South Korea(06:53) Transitioning to Leadership Roles in Education(12:40) Exploring New Opportunities in Kuwait(17:37) Navigating Job Fairs and Networking in International Teaching(22:48) Navigating Career Pathways in Education(24:31) Midway-Contact Break(27:06) Cultural Shifts: Returning to China During COVID(29:59) Transitioning to Chengdu: New Challenges and Opportunities(32:55) Career Baby Steps: Progressing Through Education Roles(34:19) New Beginnings: Moving to Budapest(36:20) Preparing for Change: Leaving Budapest(40:29) The Emotional Journey of Teaching AbroadThe International Teacher Podcast is a bi-weekly discussion with experts in international education.

She discusses the emotional challenges of her diagnosis, the significance of community support, and the need for women to take charge of their health by understanding their risk factors. The conversation highlights the necessity of open communication with loved ones and the power of sharing knowledge to empower others. Dr. Huang's insights serve as a reminder of the importance of self-advocacy in healthcare and the impact of connection during difficult times. Tyrer- Cuzick Risk Assessment Calculator: HERE Ontario Breast Screening Program at 1-800-668-9304 Takeaways Beverly emphasizes the importance of sharing her story to empower other women. Advocacy for one's health is crucial, especially in navigating medical systems. Understanding breast density is vital for assessing risk factors for breast cancer. Women should not hesitate to self-refer for mammograms when necessary. Emotional processing of a cancer diagnosis can include anger and acceptance. Community support plays a significant role in coping with health challenges. Open conversations with loved ones about health issues can alleviate fears. Women often feel the need to buffer others' emotions during their own health crises. Self-advocacy in healthcare is essential for receiving appropriate care. The absence of connection can lead to feelings of isolation during health struggles.

They share insights into their remodeling business, discuss the emotional journey of home renovations, and highlight their deep ties to the Grayslake community. The conversation is filled with personal stories, local event shout-outs, and lighthearted moments, showcasing the warmth and neighborly spirit that defines Grayslake. Listeners are encouraged to support local businesses, connect with Affordable Interiors, and spread kindness throughout the community. Discovering Grayslake: Lessons in Remodeling, Community, and Connection with Affordable Interiors Grayslake, Illinois, is more than just a dot on the map—it's a vibrant community where local businesses, families, and leaders come together to create a hometown feel that's hard to find elsewhere. In a recent episode of the "Discovering Grayslake" podcast, host David Wolf sat down with Nick and Katelyn from Affordable Interiors, a beloved local business specializing in kitchen, bath, and home remodeling. Their conversation offers a treasure trove of insights for anyone considering a home renovation, as well as a heartfelt look at what makes Grayslake such a special place to live and work. Whether you're a homeowner thinking about a remodel, a business owner looking to deepen your community ties, or simply a Grayslake resident who loves supporting local, this episode is packed with actionable advice, expert perspectives, and a genuine sense of hometown pride. Table of Contents The Remodeling Process: What to Expect Personalized Design: Marrying Form and Function Managing Timelines and Expectations Navigating the Emotional Journey of Remodeling Community Roots: The Value of Local Connections Actionable Tips for Homeowners Supporting Local: Why It Matters Final Thoughts: Building Homes, Building Community 1. The Remodeling Process: What to Expect Nick and Katelyn demystify the remodeling process, emphasizing that a successful project is built on clear communication, careful planning, and a personalized approach. Step-by-Step Breakdown: Initial Consultation:** The journey begins with a phone call to discuss your goals, needs, and vision. Don't worry about the current state of your home—Affordable Interiors prides itself on a judgment-free approach. In-Home Measurement:** A team member visits your home to take precise measurements and assess the project's scope. This ensures that every detail is tailored to your space. Showroom Appointment:** Clients are invited to the downtown Grayslake showroom to explore materials, finishes, and design options. This hands-on experience helps you visualize the possibilities and make informed choices. Detailed Estimate:** After the initial meetings, you'll receive a comprehensive estimate that reflects your unique project, including materials, labor, and timelines. Permits and Inspections:** Affordable Interiors handles all necessary permits and inspections, streamlining the process and ensuring compliance with local regulations. Project Execution:** The team coordinates demo, prep work, and installation, keeping you informed at every stage. Expert Insight: Nick highlights the importance of flexibility and transparency, noting that every project is unique and may require adjustments along the way. Their process is designed to minimize stress and maximize satisfaction. 2. Personalized Design: Marrying Form and Function Remodeling isn't just about following the latest trends—it's about creating a space that reflects your personality, lifestyle, and long-term needs. Key Principles: Timeless Over Trendy:** While blue cabinets and bold islands have had their moment, Nick and Katelyn encourage clients to choose designs that will stand the test of time. Your home should feel like your home, not a showroom. Aging in Place:** Many clients remodel with the intention of staying in their homes for years to come. Katelyn emphasizes the importance of functional layouts, accessible features, and durable materials that support aging in place. Client-Centered Approach:** The design process is collaborative. Katelyn works closely with clients to understand their routines, preferences, and future plans, ensuring the final result is both beautiful and practical. Actionable Advice: Bring inspiration photos, but be open to professional guidance. Think about how you use your space daily—storage, lighting, and flow matter as much as aesthetics. Don't be afraid to express your personality through color, texture, and unique features. 3. Managing Timelines and Expectations One of the most common questions Nick and Katelyn hear is, "How soon can you start?" The answer depends on several factors, and setting realistic expectations is crucial for a smooth experience. Timeline Factors: Cabinet Lead Times:** Some cabinet lines arrive in 2-3 weeks, while others may take up to 3 months. The team schedules demo and prep work accordingly to avoid unnecessary downtime. Permits and Inspections:** Kitchens and bathrooms often require permits and inspections, which can add 4-6 weeks to the timeline. Scope of Work:** Larger projects or those involving structural changes will naturally take longer. Pro Tips: Start planning early, especially if you have a specific deadline (e.g., holidays, family events). Communicate openly about your priorities and constraints. Trust the process—rushing can lead to mistakes or missed details. 4. Navigating the Emotional Journey of Remodeling Remodeling is as much an emotional journey as it is a logistical one. Katelyn and Nick are keenly aware of the vulnerability clients feel when their homes are in transition. Common Emotions: Anxiety:** Seeing your kitchen or bathroom gutted can be unsettling, even if you know it's temporary. Excitement:** Watching the transformation unfold—tile, flooring, cabinets—brings anticipation and joy. Relief and Pride:** The final reveal is often met with relief, pride, and a renewed love for your home. How Affordable Interiors Supports Clients: Clear Communication:** The team explains each step, so clients know what to expect and when. Empathy:** They encourage clients to give themselves grace and not feel embarrassed about the "before" state of their home. Celebrating Progress:** Milestones are acknowledged, and clients are kept in the loop, making the journey more enjoyable. 5. Community Roots: The Value of Local Connections Affordable Interiors isn't just a business—it's a neighbor. Nick and Katelyn live in Grayslake, their showroom is housed in a historic building, and they're active members of the Grayslake Chamber of Commerce. Community Involvement: Local Events:** From the Festival of Lights parade to the Saint Patrick's Day parade, Nick and Katelyn love participating in community celebrations. Charity and Support:** They regularly donate to local causes, such as the bachelorette auction benefiting a family in need. Showroom Dog, Cooper:** Their trilingual cocker spaniel, Cooper, is a local celebrity and adds a welcoming touch to the showroom. Why It Matters: Local businesses reinvest in the community, creating jobs and supporting local causes. Familiar faces and personal relationships foster trust and accountability. Community pride is contagious—when businesses thrive, so does the town. 6. Actionable Tips for Homeowners Thinking about starting your own remodeling project? Here's what Nick and Katelyn recommend: Don't Wait for "Perfect" Conditions:** Many clients put off remodeling because they're embarrassed by their home's current state. The team at Affordable Interiors has seen it all—no judgment, just solutions. Start with a Conversation:** A simple phone call can clarify your options and set the process in motion. Be Honest About Your Needs:** Whether you're planning to age in place, need more storage, or want a fresh look, share your goals openly. Plan for the Unexpected:** Remodeling can uncover surprises (old wiring, plumbing issues). Build a little flexibility into your budget and timeline. Stay Engaged:** Visit the showroom, ask questions, and stay involved in decisions. Your input is invaluable. 7. Supporting Local: Why It Matters The episode underscores the importance of supporting local businesses—not just for economic reasons, but for the sense of connection and pride it brings. How to Support Local: Shop and Hire Locally:** Choose local businesses for your needs, from remodeling to dining and beyond. Spread the Word:** Share positive experiences with friends, family, and on social media. Participate in Community Events:** Attend parades, markets, and fundraisers to strengthen community bonds. Practice Kindness:** As the podcast host suggests, perform random acts of kindness—smile, hold a door, thank a service worker. Small gestures make a big difference. 8. Final Thoughts: Building Homes, Building Community The story of Affordable Interiors is a testament to what makes Grayslake special: hard work, personal relationships, and a deep commitment to community. Nick and Katelyn's expertise, empathy, and local pride

This is a deep, grounded conversation with Bruce McGlenn, founder of Human Nature Hunting, whose life has been shaped by four decades of hunting, ancestral knowledge, and an uncompromising relationship with the land. This episode goes far beyond hunting as a skill or sport and enters the terrain of initiation, masculinity, responsibility, and what it means to participate directly in life and death. Bruce speaks with rare clarity about the psychological and spiritual cost of modern disconnection—from food, from nature, and from our role as participants rather than consumers—and how the hunt restores something ancient and intact within the human nervous system. Drawing from lived experience, not ideology, this conversation explores why so many men feel uninitiated, why comfort has not delivered fulfillment, and how hunting reveals a forgotten way of being human that still lives beneath the surface.Time Stamps(00:00) Ecosystem > Economy(00:35) Opening Conversation(05:56) Introducing Bruce McGlenn(09:01) Bruce's Early Hunting Memories(16:26) The Philosophy of Hunting(20:06) Hunting and Family Bonds(39:20) The Emotional Journey of Hunting(49:47) The Ethical Eating Debate(56:46) Personal Reflections on Meat Consumption(01:01:30) The Future of Hunting and Conservation(01:03:03) Bruce's First Hunting Experience(01:06:58) Hunting as a Man's Rite of Passage(01:19:18) Bruce Hunting With His WifeGuest Linkshttps://www.humannaturehunting.com/ https://www.instagram.com/humannaturehunting/ Connect with UsJoin our membership Friends of the TruthRise Above The Herd Take the Real AF Test NowDiscover Your Truth Seeker ArchetypeWatch all our episodesConnect with us on TelegramFollow us on InstagramAccess all our links

Why do most referral campaigns fail? Because they ignore the emotional core of the client experience. In her book, The Referral Client Experience, Stacey Brown Randall explains that anxiety and uncertainty define the initial "New Client" stage. If you don't address that "quiet voice" of concern with clear onboarding and emotional reassurance, you undermine trust. You must identify your Referral Hot Zones—the specific moments in your journey when clients are most likely to talk about you. These are not random. Analyze where past referrals originated (e.g., after successful project completion, during a specific milestone).

In this heartfelt episode of Healthy Waves, gerontologist and caregiver expert Janice Goldmintz joins host Avik to unpack the unspoken emotional weight of caring for aging parents—especially when dementia or serious illness flips the parent-child dynamic. Drawing from her master's in gerontology and her own decade-long journey caring for both parents with Alzheimer's, Janice offers raw, practical wisdom: how to hold grief and love at the same time, why asking for help isn't weakness, how to make big care decisions without tearing the family apart, and simple self-care habits that actually work when you're running on empty. This conversation is for every adult child who feels guilty, overwhelmed, or terrified they're “parenting their parents” wrong. Key Takeaways The hardest shift isn't the logistics—it's emotionally moving from “child” to “care advocate” while still feeling like a kid inside. Acknowledge the emotions (guilt, resentment, grief) instead of suppressing them—pretending you're “fine” only makes burnout worse. No one does this perfectly—even trained gerontologists make mistakes. Progress, not perfection, is the goal. Top 3 family mistakes: (1) Assuming everyone will contribute equally, (2) Waiting until crisis to plan, (3) Refusing to adapt when the original plan stops working. Mindset shift that changes everything: Stop expecting fairness; assign tasks by strength, not equality—someone's great at finances, someone else at emotional support. Self-care isn't selfish—it's self-centered (centering yourself so you can keep showing up). Put your oxygen mask on first. Sustainable caregiver habits: 10-minute walks (even in a mall), scheduled dog walks, quick breathing breaks, reading for knowledge/power, respite stays at retirement homes. With dementia: “Go where they are.” If Dad thinks he's on the farm, ask about the animals—enter their reality to create moments of joy and deeper connection. Final truth: This journey is messy, exhausting, heartbreaking… and one of the most rewarding acts of love you'll ever give.
