    Among the most common challenges on college campuses today is figuring out how to navigate our politically charged culture and engage productively with opposing viewpoints. In Try to Love the Questions: From Debate to Dialogue in Classrooms and Life (Princeton UP, 2024), Lara Schwartz introduces the fundamental principles of free expression, academic freedom, and academic dialogue, showing how open expression is the engine of social progress, scholarship, and inclusion. She sheds light on the rules and norms that govern campus discourse—such as the First Amendment, campus expression policies, and academic standards—and encourages students to adopt a mindset of inquiry that embraces uncertainty and a love of questions. Empowering students, scholars, and instructors to listen generously, explore questions with integrity, and communicate to be understood, Try to Love the Questions includes writing exercises and discussion questions in every chapter, making it an indispensable resource for anyone interested in practicing good-faith dialogue. Content note: The “test” Dr. Gessler references is a quiz on contraception, and the prevention and transmission of several different diseases; the prizes offered were candy bars. Our guest is: Professor Lara Schwartz, who focuses on dialogue across difference, freedom of speech and dissent, inclusive pedagogy, dispute resolution, and depolarization. Drawing on her experience as a legislative lawyer, lobbyist, and communications strategist in leading civil rights organizations, Professor Schwartz understands how to lay the groundwork for important, tough conversations across difference. She is the author of Try to Love the Questions. Our host is: Dr. Christina Gessler, who is a full-time writing coach, grad student coach, and developmental editor.

    What does it mean to lead a movement? Michael Hurley, a veteran advocate and President of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions (OCHU/CUPE), joins Amie Archibald-Varley, The Gritty Nurse to discuss the grit required to protect the healthcare workforce. In this high-stakes episode, we pull back the curtain on what it truly takes to fight for frontline workers. Michael emphasizes that the current crisis in recruitment and retention isn't an accident—it's a policy failure. He highlights his work on the front lines of union leadership, focusing on the necessity of staffing ratios and the urgent fight to end violence against staff. From the history of illegal strikes to the modern-day battle against privatization, Michael illustrates how his work as Union President is centered on one goal: empowering workers to reclaim their profession through community mobilization and bold, collective action. Michael shares his transformative journey from healthcare worker to a fearless union leader, revealing why sometimes the most effective path to change requires the courage to take collective action. Michael breaks down the front-line battles he leads every day, including: The Blueprint for Staffing: Why mandated ratios are the only cure for a collapsing system. Holding the Line: Michael's fierce advocacy against the quiet creep of healthcare privatization. Safety as a Right: Addressing the "silent epidemic" of violence against healthcare workers and the legislative teeth needed to stop it. The Power of the Union: How Michael mobilizes communities to turn individual frustration into unstoppable collective power. This is a masterclass in advocacy for any nurse who has ever felt unheard. WHY ONTARIO NEEDS SAFE NURSE STAFFING LEVELS (OCHU Report) https://ochu.on.ca/wp-content/uploads/2025/08/Safe-nurse-staffing-Report_ENG_Final_WEB.pdf   More about Micheal Hurley Michael Hurley has been a hospital worker and a CUPE member since 1977. He was fired and convicted of contempt of court during the illegal 1981 Ontario hospital strike. He has been the President of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions since 1990. He is also the first Vice-President of CUPE Ontario as well as Regional Vice-President on CUPE's National Executive Board for Ontario. He is the proud father of two daughters. https://ochu.on.ca/history/ https://cupe.ca/michael-hurley-regional-vice-president-ontario About Ontario Council of Hospital Union (OCHU) OCHU was founded in 1982 following a very difficult hospital strike and forced arbitration decisions that were unfair to CUPE members. The seven CUPE regions and CUPE staff worked on a plan to improve the bargaining process, communications with members and locals, and the coordination between regions. They also recognized the need for the existence of a permanent decision-making authority between collective agreements. The plan developed was received favourably by all locals and led to the founding of the Ontario Council of Hospital Unions. About CUPE We've been together for over 50 years. We do different jobs that require different skills. We are diverse – from all sorts of backgrounds in all corners of the country. But we're connected by a common purpose. Together we've fought for the things that matter most. Fairness. Equality. Dignity. There's still much to be done before we have a truly just society. Empowering young workers, women's rights, racial equality, dignity for the disabled, as well as justice for First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples. We have made Canada a better place for millions of workers and their families. We will keep fighting for a Canada where ALL workers have a decent wage, retirement security, dignity and a safe workplace. As we move forward, we are undertaking an unprecedented initiative to speak with every rank and file member in order to re-create our movement. We are 800,000 public service workers. We will back each other up. We will speak with one voice. We are CUPE. * Listen on Apple Podcasts – : The Gritty Nurse Podcast on Apple Apple Podcasts  https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-gritty-nurse/id1493290782 * Watch on YouTube –  https://www.youtube.com/@thegrittynursepodcast Stay Connected: Website: grittynurse.com Instagram: @grittynursepod TikTok: @thegrittynursepodcast X (Twitter): @GrittyNurse Collaborations & Inquiries: For sponsorship opportunities or to book Amie for speaking engagements, visit: grittynurse.com/contact Thank you to Hospital News for being a collaborative partner with the Gritty Nurse! www.hospitalnews.com

    After 20 years of prescribing hormone replacement therapy to tens of thousands of patients, both in her clinic and through her telemedicine company Menrva, I have identified the critical gaps in how HRT is being prescribed, monitored, and optimized across the United States. This isn't about "should you" do hormones. This is about how to do them right. In this episode,I break down the 10 non-negotiables you need to know if you're considering HRT, currently on HRT, or feeling like your current protocol isn't working. From the biochemistry of bioidentical vs. synthetic hormones to why your gut health determines how well your estrogen gets metabolized, this is the master class your doctor should have given you, but didn't. We're talking about natural bioidentical hormones, the truth behind the Women's Health Initiative (spoiler: it was about Premarin and synthetic progestins, NOT bioidentical estrogen), and how to use precision medicine to guide YOUR hormone replacement therapy, not a one-size-fits-all protocol that leaves 50% of women undertreated and 25% overtreated. Discover The 10 Non-negotiables: #1 - Bioidentical Is NOT a Buzzword #2 - Your Symptoms Are Metabolic Signals #3 - The WHI Study Was About Premarin & Provera #4 - Your Gut & Estrogen Are in Constant Conversation #5 - Testosterone Is a Woman's Friend After 40 #6 - HRT Is NOT One-Size-Fits-All #7 - Timing Matters #8 - Delivery Method Makes or Breaks Results #9 - BHRT Works Best When You Address the Big Five #10 - The Goal Isn't to Feel Younger, It's to Feel More Like YOU   Midlife isn't the beginning of the end, it's a time of radical transition and ownership. Hormone replacement therapy is one of the biggest levers you have. Use it wisely.

    After 20 years of prescribing hormone replacement therapy to tens of thousands of patients, both in her clinic and through her telemedicine company Menrva, I have identified the critical gaps in how HRT is being prescribed, monitored, and optimized across the United States. This isn't about "should you" do hormones. This is about how to do them right. In this episode,I break down the 10 non-negotiables you need to know if you're considering HRT, currently on HRT, or feeling like your current protocol isn't working. From the biochemistry of bioidentical vs. synthetic hormones to why your gut health determines how well your estrogen gets metabolized, this is the master class your doctor should have given you, but didn't. We're talking about natural bioidentical hormones, the truth behind the Women's Health Initiative (spoiler: it was about Premarin and synthetic progestins, NOT bioidentical estrogen), and how to use precision medicine to guide YOUR hormone replacement therapy, not a one-size-fits-all protocol that leaves 50% of women undertreated and 25% overtreated. Discover The 10 Non-negotiables: #1 - Bioidentical Is NOT a Buzzword #2 - Your Symptoms Are Metabolic Signals #3 - The WHI Study Was About Premarin & Provera #4 - Your Gut & Estrogen Are in Constant Conversation #5 - Testosterone Is a Woman's Friend After 40 #6 - HRT Is NOT One-Size-Fits-All #7 - Timing Matters #8 - Delivery Method Makes or Breaks Results #9 - BHRT Works Best When You Address the Big Five #10 - The Goal Isn't to Feel Younger, It's to Feel More Like YOU   Midlife isn't the beginning of the end, it's a time of radical transition and ownership. Hormone replacement therapy is one of the biggest levers you have. Use it wisely.

    In this episode of The Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with Crystal Gibson, the founder of The Authentic Alliance. Crystal is a leadership catalyst dedicated to helping mission-driven organizations foster cultures of courage, belonging, and sustainable impact. Our conversation centered around her core philosophy that authenticity, rather than perfection, is a leader's greatest asset. We explored the challenges leaders face in being their true selves, particularly in mission-driven organizations where conformity can often overshadow individuality. Crystal shared insights on how leaders can practice vulnerability while maintaining confidence, emphasizing the importance of learning out loud and being present with their teams. Crystal introduced her book, "Authentic Alliance: Empowering Sustainable Change in Complex Organizations," which serves as a practical guide for leaders navigating the complexities of organizational life. We discussed the alarming statistic that 74% of nonprofit staff report hiding parts of themselves at work, and how this pervasive issue stems from a fear of not aligning with the expected norms. Throughout our discussion, we highlighted the importance of creating an inclusive environment where mistakes are viewed as learning opportunities rather than failures. Crystal shared her CHARM Method, which encourages co-creation, honoring existing processes, assessing situations, reflecting, and measuring what truly matters. We also touched on the concept of "mask leadership," where leaders present a false persona, which can undermine team performance and well-being. Crystal emphasized the need for leaders to remove their masks and lead authentically, fostering a culture of collaboration over competition. As we wrapped up, Crystal provided practical steps for nonprofit leaders to empower their teams, such as celebrating progress, sharing knowledge freely, rewarding collaboration, and normalizing the act of asking for help. She encouraged leaders to regularly revisit their goals and expectations to maintain alignment and clarity within their organizations. For those interested in diving deeper into Crystal's work, I encourage you to visit her website, theauthenticaliance.com, where you can find resources, schedule a conversation, and learn more about her book.
