When you write or speak with conviction, as if you really believe your argument, there is a high chance that your audience will believe you.

A few years ago we recorded a four part series on the wisdom the bees have to offer us each season. We love how these audios celebrate the life-death-life cycle, which Clarissa Pinkola Estes says is the essence of the Wild Woman. With the winter solstice coming in a couple weeks, we want to share our conversation on what the bees have to teach us about the restful energies of winter. In this episode you will learn about what honey bees are up to in the winter and the wisdom and inspiration this has to offer us about finding time to rest, cleaning out that which no longer serves us, and honoring your natural cycles.Resources mentioned in the episodeThe 1619 ProjectHow Full Is Your Honeycomb?

This is an emotional episode for me. I think it’s important for me to share with you, by leading by example, that the work is never done. I’m in the most amazing relationship with the love of my life, and I just released an amazing course, helping women fall in love with themselves and call in Mr. Right. But somewhere along the way, as I worked morning, noon, and night, seven days a week, for the lats four months, I abandoned myself, my self-coaching, and my self-love. In this episode, I share with you how I got here, how this relates to finding Mr. or Ms. Right, and how I’m going to prioritize loving myself again.  This is what I teach you to do in my one-on-one coaching. I have spots available for February, so if you’re interested, you can go to my website. I also teach all of this in my course, Stop Wanting Him Back and Find Someone Better. In the course, I share the four modules: what you need to succeed, stop wanting him back, fall in love with you, and find someone better.

If you’re a younger person you’re probably more willing to take risks, because if you lose big you’ve got time to make it back. Whereas if you’re older you’re probably looking for less risk and more stability because if you lose, you’re done.” - Hans Struzyna“We go through these different phases in life, and to think that the way you’ve been doing things will continue to serve you at the same level and the same way is ludicrous.

You're incredibly busy! One of the things that shouldn’t be adding more stress to your day is trying to figure out how to make sure there are meals on the table for everybody. In this episode of Pantry Chat, Carolyn talks about the strategies she uses to plan ahead for meals and the ways you can create your own system for saving your sanity and still having healthy, delicious meals ready for your family. In this EpisodeThe wood cookstove is up and running and Carolyn is making meals on it and loving it. Carolyn is teaching the older kids how to sew with a personal goal of trying to get further away from buying “disposable” items. What is Carolyn’s “secret weapon” for always having a hot breakfast? What is Carolyn’s strategy for creating simple lunches (Hint: It’s about big dinners) What is the typical dinner menu she creates and why is it so important to put all your energy into creating this meal? How to establish your own meal routine by identifying your current daily problem areas. Why creating a meal plan is essential and why you should actually “plan to fail” What are Carolyn’s back-up meal options? Watch the video on “15 Minute Pantry Meals” for more easy ideas. Free training on creating roasted tomato soup and other canned meal ideas. Why “producing your basics” should be part of your weekly routine and how you can actually make this a part of your kid’s chores. What are the essentials you should always keep stocked and why they should always be included as part of your regular maintenance schedule? What are some other good “grab and go” pantry meal options? Question of the week: Bethany asks for Carolyn’s insight about living life with such a large family and any advice or encouragement she can give to those parents with young kids and no older kids to help them out.

About This SeriesGod is the Author of a grand story of redemption, and it includes you! Esther, who was definitely a hero to her nation, was not the actual hero of the book of Esther – God is.

About this episodeSince 2011, I have been a huge advocate for clean cosmetics and ultimately made the switch to less toxic, organic, and safe skincare brands. Unfortunately for me and those of us living in Asia, there weren’t a lot of locally or regionally produced products. Or if there were, it was obscure and hard to get access to. Which is why I’m very excited to have Nerissa Low, Michelle Tan, and Stephanie Lee, in our show today to talk about what it’s like to build a clean beauty brand in Asia and the appetite for organic makeup in these markets. What you’ll learn in this episodeThe delightful practice of celebrating friendship anniversariesWhy having shared values is the most important when choosing business partnersWhy honest conversations improve all relationshipsTaking time to celebrate small winsThe best strategy for business is to always begin with an end in mindWhy you need to forget the myth we’ve been told that friendships and business don’t mixHow being yourself in front of work friends is the epitome of good chief best friendsWhy moms are the best! ❤ Links and resourcesThe Road Less Stupid by Keith J.

This episode of Faith Made Welcome is the first of a two-part discussion leading us into Halloween! What do we see when we bring together Hocus Pocus (that’s right, the 1993 Disney film!) with themes of faith and explorations of Christianity?  Well, that’s what we aimed to find out with this pair of episodes!Over the next two weeks you’ll hear Marty, Cheri, and Paul sit down and chat these topics out with three guests: Kelley Wool (back from Episode 3), and Zak Wool (Kelley’s “friend” - her word - and Hocus Pocus enthusiast), Eric Spiegel (Cheri’s “manfriend” - his word - and CBC Church Council Member).  In this episode, we set the stage for next week’s more in depth exploration of the themes of Hocus Pocus and a deep dive into the tensions and points of connection between Christianity and Halloween. Listen in to hear us discuss our general impressions of Hocus Pocus, experiences with trick-or-treating (and parallel events put on by faith communities of our past), and frame some basic history of the Halloween holiday.  Scripture Mentioned this EpisodeThe banter in today’s episode features a lot of indirect references to scripture. Here’s where you can read more about the passages we discuss:2 Timothy 2:152 Samuel 11: 1-3 Exodus 22:18Leviticus 19:31Leviticus 15:19-33Leviticus 11:9-12Leviticus 19:19Genesis 3:1-7Luke 1:26-38Matthew 18:3Additional Materials Mentioned this EpisodeThere are a whole bunch of pop culture references in this episode; here they are in the order of appearance:Hocus Pocus (obviously)The WitchesJoseph Campbell’s Hero’s JourneyFright NightJane the VirginCabin in the WoodsBruce CampbellArmy of DarknessEvil DeadRocky Horror Picture ShowStar Wars The SimpsonsBatman Meme: When your mom makes you wear coat. The Harry Potter FranchiseDark Places by Gillian FlynnDungeons and DragonsEerie Indiana Dave FrancoJay and Silent BobThe Smurfs If you want to dive deeper into the historical concepts, rather than (or in addition to) the pop culture of this one, here are some of the holidays we discuss:All Hallo’s EveAll Saint’s DaySamhainAbout This PodcastThis podcast was envisioned as means to foster spiritual growth and conversations about faith, both within and beyond the faith community at Commonwealth Baptist Church.

This episode is a little different from most others that we create here at Startup Competitors. I talk with Sean Ammirati, a VC, distinguished service professor of entrepreneurship, and director of the Corporate Startup Lab at Carnegie Mellon University. Sean shares a bit of his history as an entrepreneur and the path that he took to get to where he is today. We spend most of our time diving into the similarities and differences between traditional startups and corporate startups, the strengths, and weaknesses of each, and even discuss some of the regulatory pieces of corporate startups. This was a fascinating conversion, and I hope you enjoy it.Topics in this episodeThe trend in recent years of large companies rediscovering their entrepreneurial rootsThe importance of early customer feedback for both traditional and corporate startupsTraditional entrepreneurs don’t have to think about how their vision fits into a larger organization’s strategyFor corporate startups, one single “no” could be much more devastatingThe feedback problem with corporate startupsThe customer knows the problem.

I was recently watching the HBO documentary series called The Vow, and I found it fascinating because some of the principles used are ones I use in my coaching and on myself. In the documentary, something that really stuck with me was when someone said, “The mind can heal the body, but the body never forgets”, and that’s what I want to share with you today. We have all been through traumas and heartbreak. Even in relationships, traumas from previous exes may still come up. In this episode, I share with you when that has happened for me, what it may look like for you, and how to move through it.Right now I’m also in the midst of creating my course, Stop Wanting Him Back and Find Someone better. I am an expert when it comes to healing a broken heart and I want to provide you with a very affordable option to help you stop wanting Mr. Wrong back, fall in love with yourself, and find someone better. To sure you don’t miss the official launch date and for all information, join my mailing list.  Topics in this episodeThe weight of your words Feeling emotions in your body Being grateful for my rock bottom relationship The work is to accept the situation as it unfolds and show up and do the work to grow and heal.Moving through past traumas while datingA big misconception in coaching and thought work The thoughts that you think to attract your ideal personResourcesMy Heartbreak Story: https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/podcast/2019/4/1/my-heartbreak-storyFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/clairetheheartbreakcoach/

I am back for another conversation with my bestie Jamie McKeown, an incredible health and wellness coach. She has previously been on the podcast before to talk about what to eat on a broken heart and to answer your listener questions. In this episode, we talk about cutting off contact with your exes, which I think it’s safe to say, Jamie and I don’t agree on. She shares why she holds onto friendships with people she has previously dated, and I point out why I coach my clients on ending those friendships and why they don’t serve you if your goal is to find your person. In our conversation, we also touched on some of the topics that I cover in my upcoming course,  How to Stop Wanting Him Back and Find Someone Better.

Everything You Need to Know About Working With a RecruiterJennifer Anderson, recruiter and career coach of 22 years, shares how to use a recruiter to find your next opportunity to bless the world.About Jennifer AndersonWhen I wake up at 3AM, I just want to fall back asleep.When that doesn't happen, my "please help me to fall back asleep" prayer usually starts as a simple request. By 4AM, it's a frustrated plea for divine assistance. By 5AM, I've either solved the world's problems or created new ones. Never once have I considered that the Lord may keeping me awake for a reason.But after talking to Jen Anderson, career coach, recruiter, and author of the "3am With God" Journal, I am starting to wonder if He's been trying to tell me something.]A 3am Wake-Up CallThe "3am With God" journal and guided course is something Jen felt prompted to create after she received an impression at (you guessed it) 3AM.After pushing the idea aside for a bit, she finally got to work collaborating with God on what is now a tool she uses to help others figure out what the Lord may be prompting them to do.Of that experience, she said, "What that did for me was it introduced a new product into my business world that was basically telling the world that I am a Christian woman, and as a woman of faith, I'm inviting other people to recognize the inspiration they're getting at 3:00 AM in the mornings. That that's a secret divine time. If you read in the scriptures, there's many examples of people being awakened from dreams and visions and all sorts of stuff in the middle of the night."A Better RecruiterThe funny thing is, the journal is not why I wanted to interview Jen.I wanted to talk to her because she's been a career coach and job recruiter for more than two decades. She's helped thousands of people find meaningful employment through a process I know very little about. But after talking to her on this subject as well, I'm starting to wonder what I might have been missing during the day now too.I learned in this interview that a recruiter could be your biggest ally in making a faithful career move. A good recruiter can help you find employment opportunities that are not posted on job boards, make sure the hiring manager carefully reviews your resume, get you in for an interview, and help you negotiate a higher salary.Why wouldn't you use a recruiter? Listen to this interview with Jen Anderson to learn more about the role of a good recruiter, how to find one that specializes in your field of expertise, and what you need to do to make the relationship work. I promise, after listening, you too will be wondering what else you've missed.What You'll Learn in this EpisodeThe role of a good recruiterThe difference between a recruiter and a corporate recruiter How to find a recruiter who will be a good fit for you How to manage the recruiter relationshipHow Jen came up with the idea to create the 3am With God journalMost Importantly: How Jen has seen the Lord’s hand in her careerMentioned in this Episode3am With God - Jen's middle-of-the-night inspiration that turned into a coaching tool she uses to help people act on what God is prompting them to do.

Is Your Resume Stopping You From Achieving Divinely Appointed Goals?If you don't write accomplishment-based statements on your resume to showcase the excellent work you do, someone else will. And they wll get the interview and the job!About Jennifer Fonseca, Destiny ActivatorEven after graduating from college, Jennifer Fonseca still didn't know what to do with her life, but she had a deep desire to figure out what she had been "put on this planet to do." So her mom gave her a book that changed everything.After reading, What Color Is Your Parachute? by Richard N. Bolles, Jennifer began test-driving careers--as instructed by the book. Not only did this activity lead her to a fulfilling career and finding her passion in life, but it also turned into a tool she uses to help others do the same.In this interview, Jennifer shares how test-driving careers can help you weed out options that aren't right for you and open doors to opportunities you might not know exist, Once you do identify the type of job you'd like to have, you'll need a resume to help you get an interview and eventually the job.And that's where most people flounder.What is an Accomplishments-based Resume?In Jennifer's words, "When you haven't worked on your resume in a hot minute or more like a year or two, there are so many things you’ve forgotten..." That selective amnesia forces people to reflect back on their careers in a haphazard way--thinking about tasks performed or former checklists of duties. Writing your resume that way will not help you identify who you really are.Instead, Jennifer uses an approach she calls, "Who before Do," to help her clients think back on their proudest career moments in order to reveal the exceptional work they've done and experience they've gained. Doing so is not only a good career move, but is required of those who have the ability to build up the kingdom of God.She says, 'If we don't show up with a resume that really details out the strengths that God uniquely created for us to have, then we leave it for someone else who has no problem bragging on themselves. And it's not bragging." Jennifer explains that we bring glory back to our creator when we showcase how we have stewarded well the gifts and the strengths he has given us.And when we use those strengths for good, we can change culture.In this interview, Jennifer talks extensively about how to create an accomplishments-based resume by using the four following "miracle questions:"How do I do it better or differently than anyone else?When did I thrive or flourish or feel most alive in each of my roles?What are the things that you did where you lost track of time?What are you most proud of?Listen to this interview to learn more.What You'll Learn in this EpisodeThe value of test-driving careersFour miracle questions to help you remember your accomplishmentsWhy you have a mandate to figure out what your destiny isAnd how to go about activating that destiny once you know what it isMost Importantly: How Jennifer has seen the Lord’s hand in her career

This episode is inspired by the work that I have been doing with a client recently. She was dating this guy and said that she was falling in love with him, but also recognized that he wasn’t emotionally available and showing up for her in ways that were very important. When I asked her why she was falling in love, it really boiled down to the fact that he was doing small gestures for her. Ladies. A sweet gesture is not enough of a reason to be in love with someone who is not showing up for you emotionally. I’m sure many of you listeners can relate to her experience, and in this episode, I dive deep into what it looks like when you’re setting the bar too low, how to establish the values that are important to you, and calling in love in your ideal relationship. Topics in this episodeThe 5 love languages:Quality timePhysical touchWords of affirmationActs of serviceGiftsAttachment stylesYou should never have to guess your partner’s level of interestThe small things are added bonuses.Important qualities to look for What values are actually important to you? ResourcesMy Heartbreak Story: https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/podcast/2019/4/1/my-heartbreak-storyMore information on dismissive-avoidant attachment disorder: https://flowpsychology.com/dismissive-avoidant-attachment-disorder-style/I have a course coming out in November that is going to be so much more affordable and accessible to you guys, teaching you exactly how to stop wanting him back through videos and modules, teaching exactly how to call in the right person. It’s a guided map so that you can’t not create these results you are looking for. Work With Clairehttps://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/work-with-meEditing and show notes by Roth Media

This episode was inspired by a conversation with a new client who, on her consultation, asked the rhetorical question, “Why can’t I find the love that I deserve?” This is something I have heard other clients and women ask themselves, and in this episode, I really get into what it is at the heart of this question we are asking ourselves, and I reveal that this question doesn’t actually serve you or the results you desire. It starts with getting real with what your brain is saying, doing the work, and not letting yourself off the hook. This is also the exact kind of thing I help clients with. Working with a coach can be very powerful because they can see your blind spots and they can show you where it is you should be showing up for yourself. If you are looking for a coach and you think we may be a great fit, you can apply for my one-on-one coaching at https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/work-with-meTopics in this episodeThe intentional thought modelThe two thoughts behind “Why can’t I find the love I deserve?”I can’t find loveI deserve a certain type of loveThe real issue is that you haven’t been giving yourself that love that you feel you deserveLearn to date yourselfHow to rephrase: “I deserve this” in a way that serves us What would the heroine in your story do?Get clear on the result you want.

TallyLab is an everything-tracker for consumers and an anything-tracker-maker for businesses. It’s a web-based application where users can set up trackers to track anything that happens as a moment in time, recording what they did, and when they did it. In this episode, I talk with co-founder and CEO, Jordyn Bonds, who saw first hand what happens with our everyday data, and how companies aggregate that data in ways that we do not opt into, and may not be ok with. It was this insight, as well as the need for a tracking app, that was the inspiration behind creating TallyLab with a high priority on data protection for end-users. She shares some of the effects of the pandemic on the company, the trends of data protection, and what she’s tracking everyday using TallyLab.Topics in this episodeThe importance of keeping UI simple, so users can start quicklyNew projects, as a result of the COVID pandemicThe difference between an ideal customer, and one that becomes an actual customerCloud services are hackable, meaning, your data is at riskAsking companies to leave data and opportunity on the table, in favor of protecting the privacy of their end-usersThe regulatory landscape of data privacyUsers realize that they’re doing better with the thing they’re tracking than they think they areContact InfoWebsite: https://tallylab.com/Email: jordyn@tallylab.com

I recently finished reading Wealth Warrior by Steve Chandler, and it inspired the topic of today’s episode; why you’re not doing the work. As I share in each episode, the thought model I use with my clients is the same that my coach uses with me: your thoughts create feelings, that drive actions, that yield you results. In Steve Chandler’s book, he takes a slightly different approach. For his clients are feeling stuck, he tells them to pick something, and go all in. In this episode, I explore this idea a bit more, and how it compliments the thought model I use in my coaching, as well as why you aren’t doing the work, and what it is that’s holding you back from the results you truly desire. Topics in this episodeThe 3 reasons you aren’t doing the workYou’re not readyYou don’t believe it worksYou are scared of successWhen you’re suffering, and struggling, and in pain, you’re probably not motivated to do the work. What makes me the coach I am todayWhy I always said yesEating a shit sandwichMy daily hour I spend with my future self ResourcesInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/clairetheheartbreakcoach/Articles on Poosh.com: https://poosh.com/author/claire-byrne/Heartbreak in Your Ideal Relationship: https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/podcast/2020/6/14/heartbreak-in-your-ideal-relationshipLet’s Talk About Vulnerability: https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/podcast/2020/8/3/lets-talk-about-vulnerabilityMy Heartbreak Story: https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/podcast/2019/4/1/my-heartbreak-story When the Work Isn’t Working: https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/podcast/2020/7/26/when-the-work-isnt-workingElizabeth Gilbert, Big Magic: https://www.amazon.com/Big-Magic-Creative-Living-Beyond/dp/1594634726/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=big+magic&qid=1597021656&sr=8-2Steve Chandler, Wealth Warrior: https://www.amazon.com/Wealth-Warrior-Personal-Prosperity-Revolution/dp/1600250408/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=the+wealth+warrior&qid=1597021718&sr=8-2Martha Beck: https://marthabeck.com/Brooke Castillo, Self Coaching 101: https://www.amazon.com/Self-Coaching-101-Brooke-Castillo/dp/0977853993Heartbreak for Black Lives: https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/podcast/2020/6/8/heartbreak-for-black-livesEFT Practitioner, Lena George: https://www.unplug.com/teachers-new/lena-georgeHeart-Healing Crystals with Courtney Abbiati, of The Urban and The Mystic: https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/podcast/2019/9/30/heart-healing-crystals-with-courtney-abbiatiWork With Clairehttps://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/work-with-meEditing and show notes by Roth Media

Botco.ai is an intelligent chat nurturing solution helping businesses convert more customers by being always on and always available to answer their customer’s questions. In my conversation with co-founder and CEO Rebecca Clyde, she shares how Botco.ai was built out of a lack of a solution for enterprise companies and their customer’s need for on-demand assistance. Before Botco.ai, Rebecca owned a marketing automation company, and she explains how that role, and the process of leaving that role to hand over the reins, gave her a particular set of skills that prepared her for starting Botco.ai. We also discuss investor expectations, how to best use a marketing budget, and her role as a parent to prepare her children for the business world.Topics in this episodeThe impact a chatbot service has for conversion ratesSteps to take after releasing the MVPChallenges of working with a chatbot service for an enterprise companyCompeting with in-house development teamsHow to identify that your product is needed in the marketThe role of education, and how to take that on in a tangible way that leads to business opportunitiesWhere are you creating gaps in the customer experience, and how can you bridge those?Generation Z’s relationship with technology, and the role that plays in the work force and our economyThe future of voice-assistance for Botco AI productsResourcesAaron RossThe Sandler Sales MethodologyContact InfoWebsite: https://botco.ai/Email: rebecca@botcoai.aiLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rebeccaclyde/

Compact Medical Solutions is a medical device startup, working to design a new type of bag valve mask resuscitator called the Butterfly BVM. A bag valve mask resuscitator is a device you’ve probably seen on tv shows that helps someone breathe when they can’t breathe on their own. It helps to blow air into the lungs and help them to breathe. These devices haven’t had many updates since they were first designed in 1957, and CEO Johnathan Merrell and his team are working to change that to make them slimmer and better for patients.In my conversation with Jonathan, he explains why the current solution can be so damaging and can cause hyperventilation when used. He also details his experience of going through the G Beta accelerator program, different avenues of FDA approval, and how he’s able to juggle being a father of four, a practicing physician, and CEO of a startup.Topics in this episodeThe progress they’ve had over the last yearHow pitching is different during COVIDAdding these devices to AED boxes in order to have devices available for heart and lung supportThe damage of hyperventilationTaking a medical device to market and how that might have changed recently with COVIDThe difficulties in regulations and bringing a medical device to the marketFuture sales strategy once they secure FDA approvalContact InfoEmail: jon@compactmedicalsolutions.comWebsite: https://www.compactmedicalsolutions.com/

If you are experiencing lower back pain or sciatica, it’s important to determine its cause for proper treatment and better pain management. However, there are some cases where patients, who reported to have issues in this region, find out through medical diagnosis that the cause is not rooted in bulging or degenerative lumbar discs. In this episode of Back Talk Doc, Dr. Sanjiv Lakhia dives deep into the top 5 reasons behind your lower back pain. These are the piriformis syndrome, sacroiliitis, lumbar and gluteal trigger point syndrome, hamstring strains and lumbar facet referral pain patterns. Most of these are related to certain muscle groups in the lower region of the body and spinal joints. He discusses the causes behind each condition, common symptoms, ways to diagnose these and treatment options. He also points out to thoracic myelopathy, a serious upper back condition that not only causes lumbar pain, but dysfunction of the spinal cord as well. For Dr. Lakhia, it’s important that you always refer to a specialist or skilled practitioner to properly diagnose your pain. They are able to give you the best treatment and pain management options, which normally include physical therapy and medication.

This week, Dr. Lakhia talks about active rest techniques and how you can incorporate these in your daily lifestyle. He refers to strategies outlined in the book The Power of Rest by sleep expert Dr. Matthew Edlund. It’s essential that you engage in activities that rejuvenate your mind and that provide you with mental rest, social rest, spiritual rest and physical rest. He also encourages taking a nap about 3 hours before your normal bedtime for improved productivity during the day. Making social connections, deep breath work and mediation are other techniques you can incorporate to optimize your health through rest.

What I love about coaching is when my clients let out their inner little girl and we can share all of the fear and thoughts they have so that they can release it and transform it into thoughts that will get them the results they desire. Speaking for myself, I know that my inner child gets triggered when she is anxious and when a big change is coming. Even now when I am in the most secure and loving relationship I’ve ever been in, my inner little girl is still freaking out. Having your inner little girl isn’t a bad thing. I think she is a great little teacher that we need to pay attention to and love her and honor her and hear her. Tell her we’re ok and that we don’t have to react and behave in the ways we did when we were actual children. We are now grown-ass adults and we’ve got this. Topics in this episodeThe upper limit problemDo not indulge the fearWe can’t control our brain’s automatic thoughts. What we can do is to catch them, observe them and not judge yourself for them.There are automatic thoughts that serve us, and automatic thoughts that hurt us Reevaluate what you are doing that is preventing you from calling the right lover in. What I tell my inner little girl who wants to freak out and not trust that she will be safe: It will fucking suck, but I will be ok.Honoring your grown-ass inner womanResourcesKnowing your worth: https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/podcast/2020/3/2/knowing-your-worthGay Hendricks, The Big Leap: https://www.amazon.com/Big-Leap-Conquer-Hidden-Level/dp/0061735361/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=the+big+leap&qid=1584331903&sr=8-1Brooke Castillo’s podcast, The Lifecoach School: https://thelifecoachschool.com/podcasts/Brook Castillo, Self Coaching 101: https://www.amazon.com/Self-Coaching-101-Brooke-Castillo/dp/0977853993/ref=sr_1_2?keywords=brooke+castillo&qid=1584331927&sr=8-2Why do men...? https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/My Rock Bottom Heartbreak: https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/podcast/2019/4/1/my-heartbreak-story

The most annoying phase a woman has to deal with when she feels like she's ready to open herself again? The past failed relationships. It creeps like a thief into the night, that left you confused, skeptic, and overly comparing your ex to the next guy you are with. But, it's a big NO! Focusing on what didn't work will never get to the results that you wanted. Give yourself the chance to become the woman of substance. To heal. To be secured and loved by yourself. The clarity to claim faults, and be able to move on and learn from the past, and can love again. Because we deserve to love and being loved. But having those negative thoughts bugging your mind will never get you anywhere. These concepts create the results. Deal with the negativity that constantly parades inside your head, and take action! Be open and enjoy the moment. I know, it's easier said than done, but I am here to help you to have the right mindset and attract the ideal person into your life. Topics in this episodeThe big DON'T in your search for loveBe the woman who can attract the ideal person in your lifeNever limit yourself in the type of person you should be drawn to.Let's own up to our mistakes, our flaws, and bad choices, and learn from them. Stay open, and allow physical space to growFocusing on things that didn't work will shut you off from the right person who's coming inYour thoughts will create results which either make or break youMoving on is not a walk-in-the-park process, and tips on how to make it are a plus!ResourcesMy heartbreak story: https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/podcast/2019/4/1/my-heartbreak-storyBeing single should never be a problem: https://clairetheheartbreakcoach.com/podcast/2020/2/3/being-single-should-never-be-a-problem

I recently did a session with a new client and she said that all she wants is to stop thinking about him. In our session, the overriding thought, and I hear this from many of my clients, is that they are frustrated or sad because that person is in their mind 24/7. In this episode, I share with you why this kind of thinking isn’t serving you, and the questions you can ask yourself in order to end the unnecessary pain of breaking your own heart. Topics in this episodeThe circumstance is always neutral Trying to force the pain awayThe more you resist, the more it will persist.One of the first steps to heal a broken heart is to allow for self-compassionWhat are the feelings you want to feel?

When you make the decision to start a podcast, all the emotions that you're feeling can be seriously overwhelming.

Q: What’s better than one bonus? A: A second bonus! Too bad we’re not talking about money. Just Force Toast content for your eager ears. In this Double Shot Bonus episode, hosts Alyce and Laura sit down with Mat from the Blue Bantha Milk Co. YouTube channel to discuss* the series, The Road to IX! Then we’ve got an audio version of the video we did with Blue Bantha Milk Co. in Summer 2019 when we discussed Maul’s character arch in Star Wars Rebels. If you’d rather skip over our mad interview skills and get to the good stuff in video form, you can find that here.Maul has been a fan favorite ever since his debut in Star Wars: Episode I - The Phantom Menace in Summer 1999. Twenty years later, we still can’t stop talking about him. You could say that, perhaps, we are #MoistForMaul? Thanks to the YouTuber who left that comment on the video. Such a delicious hashtag…Anyway, Maul’s reappearance in Star Wars Rebels presented us with an older Maul, but was he any wiser?

Startup Competitors grew out of the idea of performing competition analysis for startups, and turning that idea into a product, through which it would identify the competitors most relevant to your business today, the key pieces of information you should know about them, and how you can leverage that to find out what it means for your product and strategy. After an unsuccessful Ad Words campaign, I thought that our clients were probably listening to podcasts on how to be a startup. I reached out to big podcasts at NPR and Gimlet, but their advertising was expensive, so I thought I should start a podcast myself.In celebration of this being the 100th episode, Kristen Cooper, CEO and Founder of The Startup Ladies, brings in mimosas and interviews me about how Start Up Competitors got started, what I have learned throughout my time as a podcast host, and how I want to improve in the future. I also get a chance to share a little about my farm and podcast I do with my son, as well as my passion for martial arts, what it has taught me, and how I apply that to other areas of my life.Topics in this EpisodeThe problem of spending too much time working on your product or idea before you are ready to pitch it.Interviewers he looks up toStarting a farm in order to be a good dadWhy podcasts over other mediums?The number one driver of your ability to learn is time spent doing the thingDestination thinking. What does the end of the first year need to look like? What are the things I need to do to manifest that?

Today on ASHPOfficial, Tom Kraus interviews Erin Fox, who is the Senior Director of Drug Information and Support Services at the University of Utah Health. She is the 2019 Zellmer Lecture Award winner and a national expert on drug shortages. Erin advises a member of congress and has worked with ASHP to inform policies on drug shortages. Tom and Erin discuss how drug shortages affect patient care, as well as how the FDA and congress can minimize the resulting impact.(1:04) In mid-2017 there was a large increase in the number of drug shortages, specifically to do with quite common products. Erin explains how frustrating the problem is, because it isn’t going away, and her team is currently monitoring 280 drug shortages. Manufacturing issues to do with quality or reduced output are triggering the shortages. Many of the issues seen by the FDA, including birds flying around in sterile environments, mold on walls, and metal shavings in vials take years to rectify. The manufacturers themselves devise their own processes to comply with guidelines, but the FDA only inspects when companies intentionally do not follow their own processes or falsify data. Economics also plays a role, as common drugs that hospitals use are treated as commodities. Hospitals are incentivized to use the lowest-cost products, because they are reimbursed on a DRG basis. The competition for these contracts with hospitals leads to some companies being underwater on the commodity-based drugs, meaning they will focus more of their efforts on other drugs with higher margins.(6:07) To incentivize quality, it’s important to include transparency. Currently, there is no requirement that a manufacturer release where its products are being produced, so that when there is a health concern, purchasers can avoid the quality issues. By adding transparency, purchasers can decide to buy higher quality items with fewer shortages and recalls, which are also costly. The FDASIA (Food and Drug Administration Safety and Innovation Act) Law was also introduced in 2012 to improve disclosure from companies to the FDA about drug shortages. The FDA can use the data to try to stop shortages in the future, but once a shortage is reported, it’s difficult to solve, because other countries or companies do not have enough product to share with a market as large as the US.(9:30) When drug companies contract outside manufacturers, there is no requirement to disclose which manufacturer produced a company’s product. Added transparency here would also allow for quality to be rewarded in the future. When a contract manufacturer is responsible for multiple companies’ supplies of the same drug, any service interruption can cause a massive drug shortage. To add to this weak link in the supply chain, there is no requirement from the FDA for contract manufacturers to have a continuity plan in the event of a shutdown. Commenting is open on the docket now and asking a manufacturer about contingency planning would be an excellent way to use FDA quality metrics to rate a manufacturer higher.(12:47) 503B compounding pharmacies can help with drug shortages but can’t begin work until the drug appears on the FDA shortage list. The FDA takes time before a drug appears on its list and the compounder will then need an additional three-four weeks to make a good batch. The compounders don’t have much insight into what drugs may be put on the shortage list and how long they will be on the list, such that they may be stuck with a large batch that they can no longer sell. Other tools the FDA can deploy include asking other manufacturers to ramp up production of drugs and assisting in moving a manufacturers application to the front of the line if necessary.(17:10) There are a few ways to think about national security as it relates to drug shortages. The first is to ask: do we have enough drugs if we need to send our soldiers to war, and do we have enough to take care of our own patents and to keep the hospitals running? The second aspect to consider is where the foreign sources for drug manufacturing come from and what the fallout would be if those sources cut off supply. Most antibiotics source raw materials from China, for example.Outbound Links & Resources MentionedLearn more about ASHP’s policy solutions to reduce drug shortages at: https://www.ashp.org/Advocacy-and-Issues/Key-Issues/Drug-Shortages  Takeaways in Today’s EpisodeThe frequency of drug shortages being reported is increasing, and Erin’s team is currently monitoring 280 active drug shortages.Drug shortages are a result of quality issues at manufacturing facilities and glitches in the manufacturing process when one company holds a large market share of a product.The FDA will inspect drug manufacturers when processes are not being followed or data are being falsified, which is an increasing problem.Hospitals are in a race to the bottom in terms of drug costs, due to the DRG structure.To incentivize quality, transparency in the drug manufacturing process is required.In 2012, ASHP supported the FDASIA Law to pass, which required manufacturers to disclose if there was going to be a shortage or stop on production.On low-cost products, it’s easier for contract manufacturers to have a shortage than to invest time in a what-if/backup plan.The FDA was hopeful that 503B compounding pharmacies could help with drug shortages, but the time required to produce the drugs is at least a few weeks, by which time the drug may have come off the list and the compounders can no longer sell it.There have been increasing conversations lately to do with national security as it relates to drug shortages.More than 80% of raw materials for drug manufacturing come from foreign sources.Consolidation of manufacturers leads to more fragility in the supply chain, particularly for injectables.The FDA is closest to being able to predict shortages but requires more data points and transparency from suppliers and manufacturers to obtain a predictive model.We also want to make listeners aware that legislation was recently introduced that incorporates several of these priorities.The introduction of this legislation is a first step to advancing these policy priorities. To become law, the legislation will need to be approved by the full Senate and the House of Representatives.Listeners can see ASHP’s policy solutions and let congress know they support this legislation by following the link in the show notes to this podcast, or in the advocacy section of ASHP.org.
