Erin Klein, DPM, a prolific researcher in plantar plate pathology, shares her insights and experience with this challenging pathology.

There is shame in admitting you've messed up, and it is indeed scary to be opening your wounded self to the rest of the world.  It is never easy to bare yourself in front of everyone. People have so many opinions about you, solicited or not. Judgment, ridicule, and what have you. Those are inevitable but still hurtful. But who doesn't have bad days? Even the best and the most successful of us are dealing with our stuff. Yes, showing one's vulnerability takes courage. But how much harder it must be if you remain in the false world of perfectionism? That's why we've got this diet mentality that leads us to the belief in restriction, control, and that feeling of scarcity. But there's a more sustainable way of dealing with all our imperfections. And the first step is asking for help.  Rachel Brooks is a fitness lifestyle entrepreneur, author, podcaster and speaker with a mission to empower women to become their best selves through the practice of creating a positive mindset, a healthy body and a soul filled with love and gratitude.  Erin Klein is the founder of Moms just Want to Have Son where her mission is to help women maintain their badass-goal-crushing self that can take on motherhood. Together, Rachel and Erin host the competent woman podcast where they show up as their true authentic, transparent and vulnerable selves and talk about everything including confidence, body image, relationships, business, finances, fitness, freedom, travel, and fun all rolled into one.  In this episode, Rachel Brooks and Erin Klein share their journey of overcoming imperfection, being hard on themselves, and getting comfortable showing that side of their vulnerability.  Their personal experiences led them to partner up, produce a show, and create a community where women find a safe space to be themselves. Not perfect but encouraging and empowering each other to become better and, most of all, confident even amidst troubles and weaknesses.   "It's a beautiful thing. Because when you could come full circle and stop that chase and stop feeling like you have to have that pressure nonstop, to be enough, to do enough, to have enough, and just lean into the current, this present, being you, then you feel like this ignition of confidence and self-worth and value." - Rachel Brooks   What you will learn from this episode: 02:09 - What Rachel does and how she helps women become holistically confident  05:55 - Erin talking about learning and growing with each other instead of doing it all on your own 08:28 - A funny story of how Rachel and Erin met and partnered up as hosts of the Confident Woman podcast 15:42 - Defining 'Confidence'  17:00 - Encouraging a revolution of more vulnerability and relatability 28:26 - Ourselves being the solution and the problem 32:25 - Reclaiming your life and reframing those beliefs 36:43 - How hard it is to be dealing with perfectionism 43:03 - Embracing freedom and flexibility 47:10 - The purpose of a confident woman collective    Connect with Rachel Brooks and Erin Klein: theconfidentwomanpodcast.com https://www.instagram.com/theconfidentwomancollective/ https://www.instagram.com/theconfidentwomanpodcast/   Connect With Leslie Thornton: weightlossalbany.com E: Leslie@LeslieMThornton.com Facebook Twitter LinkedIn  

The simple act of asking LGBTQ youth, “how do you want to identify yourself? '' is already a big step towards making the world a better place for them. Another point of discussion that should be raised regarding this matter is mental health, specifically on how we can transform the culture of stigmatizing and victimizing these young people to one that simply recognizes them as humans, regardless of their Sexual orientation or gender identity.. The right questions to ask LGBTQ youth, alongside other related topics on their mental health, are what we discussed with Dr. Erin Klein and Dr. Karen Bernstein today.  Dr. Klein is a third-year pediatrics resident at Northwestern University - Ann & Robert H. Lurie Children's Hospital of Chicago while Dr. Bernstein is an Adolescent Medicine clinician and educator with special interests in adolescent reproductive health, adolescent weight management (including obesity and eating disorders), and adolescent primary care for underserved youth. [00:01] Dr. Erin Klein and Dr. Karen Bernstein Share Their Story With Us Erin and Karen talk about where their paths have crossed  Don't miss our discussion about “coming out” among the LGBTQ youth [07:32] The Right Questions to Ask  How “Queer” has been reclaimed by the youth of today Language is crucial  Ask kids these questions if you want to know more about their sexual orientation We discuss making the youth's identity “official” in electronic medical records (EMRs) Why confidentiality is a crucial factor for LGBTQ youth [17:24] Making Mental Health Services Accessible We have an interesting discussion about mental health among LGBTQ youth Are mental health services accessible for the LGBTQ youth? Advocacies don't always need to be big projects  Here's what Karen thinks  [27:28] How to Rally People to Join Our Advocacies Do you want to learn more about mental health among LGBTQ youth? Karen shares some resources you can check out now The initiatives of the American Academy of Pediatrics on LGBTQ issues Writing for publications is another powerful step to rally people and call on legislators [37:57] What Erin and Karen Will Say To Their Younger Selves Erin tells the young version of her that things will always get better  Don't miss Karen's message for her resident self   [42:24] Closing Segment   Final takeaways: Words do matter Don't make assumptions when you go into a room. Be open and listen Questions to ask and how to phrase them Many EMRs now capture sexual orientation and gender identity or SOGIE data to allow preferred pronouns and names. The mental health of our teens is critical. The current problem is stigmatizing and victimizing LGBTQ youth  Resources you can access now  Links below Consider hospital committee policies and EMR options. Reaching out to school boards can be powerful. On the state and national level, learn about state legislation and speak up for LGBTQ youth Write op-eds blogs and post on social media If you're an AAP member, consider joining the section on LGBTQ health and wellness Practice with love Key Quotes: “It's not being LGBT that causes these mental health problems. It's living in a household or attending school or being in a community or society that doesn't affirm your identity that's more of a risk factor.” - Dr. Erin Klein “I think that Gen Z has taught us a lot on how to approach everyone with love and not put people in binary categories.” -  Dr. Karen Bernstein Email erin.e.klein@gmail.com to connect with Erin then kbernste@uic.edu to reach out to Karen.

TODAY'S GUESTDuring high school Erin McKay Klein was your typical fun-loving, and out-going student. Never the top of her class but always doing decently well and managing to have a lot of fun in the process. Going into adulthood she knew she was expected to go to college, get a good, high-paying job... You know the rest of this story. And Erin followed that typical path with gusto, pursuing the major that she expected would bring her a great return on her college investment, economics. Problem was Erin is not at all the economist type. Unhappy with this choice she went from major to major, traveled down different paths looking for that thing that would help her be successful, but light her up as well. That relentless pursuit of the right fit led her to network marketing and a career that would totally change the trajectory of her life. Today Erin is happily married with a toddler and building a business around her passion for travel and women's mental health. She is the boss mama behind Moms Just Wanna Have Sun where she helps mamas reconnect to their hearts and souls as they pursue their own goals and dreams.  Listen in as we discover: 3 TAKE-AWAYS FROM TODAY'S EPISODE:1) What to do if you or your teen is an overthinker.2) How we define our own definition of success and how that shifts as you grow older and more experienced.3) Why parents must learn to embrace their teen's different path and accept that their child has decided to pursue their passion and not the paycheck. ERIN KLEIN CONTACT INFOIf you found this episode helpful today.

Erin Klein became a new mom in 2020. Now that it's 2021 Erin is rethinking how to exercise with a baby in tow, missing her pre-baby-body, and thinking through these changes as a fitness influencer.

I started my tutoring business back in 2009.  I was very fortunate because my sister was learning how to build websites at the time and she built a website for The Tutoring Solution.  6 months of blog writing opened up my world.  What many people don’t understand about social media is that it’s not just a sales and marketing tool, it’s also a learning tool and a communications tool which can make or break a business. Erin Klein from Kleinspiration, myself and bloggers all over the country are understanding that blogging provides more value than just marketing your products and services.  It helps you understand how to learn.  Use blog writing to learn in Episode 57 of the Defining Success Podcast.
