Podcasts about Exposure

Forrest is joined by therapist Kimberley Quinlan to explore one of the most misunderstood anxiety disorders: obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). Drawing from her clinical and personal experience, Kimberley breaks down what OCD is, how it differs from general anxiety, and the ways it's often mischaracterized. They discuss the core features of obsessions and compulsions, and how these can manifest across a wide range of themes, including harm, contamination, morality, and relationships. Kimberley explains how Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) works, what makes an exposure “good,” and how to build tolerance for distress rather than trying to eliminate it. They also touch on self-compassion, the role of medication, and the stigmas that can keep people from getting help. About our Guest: Kimberley Quinlan is a licensed marriage and family therapist, author, host of the popular Your Anxiety Toolkit podcast, and the founder of CBTschool.com.

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    How do you get good at anything? You practice… that seems obvious. But how do you get really good at something… like expert level. Well you practice but you practice under duress.    Doctors who came back from war were far better at their jobs having practiced under war time conditions. The Benefits of Military Medical Experience include….  Trauma and Emergency Care Expertise: Military doctors, especially those who have served in combat zones, gain unparalleled experience in managing severe trauma, critical injuries, and mass casualty events under high-pressure, resource-limited conditions. This experience can be invaluable in civilian trauma centers and emergency departments. Adaptability and Resourcefulness: Military physicians are often trained to work in diverse and sometimes austere environments, using whatever resources are available. This fosters a high degree of adaptability, problem-solving skills, and the ability to remain calm in chaotic situations. Leadership and Teamwork: Military medicine emphasizes strong leadership, teamwork, and a clear chain of command. These skills are highly transferable to civilian healthcare settings, particularly in managing teams and coordinating care. Exposure to Diverse Patient Populations: Military physicians often change stations frequently and may be exposed to a wide variety of patient populations globally, broadening their clinical perspective. Focus on Pure Medicine (less administrative burden): In some military settings, doctors can focus more on patient care without the same concerns about insurance or billing that civilian doctors often face, allowing them to hone their clinical skills. Innovation: Many medical innovations and practices, such as triage systems and specialized surgical teams, have originated or been refined in military settings and have had a significant impact on civilian healthcare.     When you don't let anyone in your emotions, your faith or your mind… you build your Spiritual strength or should I say your spiritual armor.    Wether it is a person or a circumstance or even a physical health issue - these aren't just proving grounds, they are paving grounds for your life. You are learning to pave your walk in life in a straight and narrow.  When emotions, doubt, anger, bitterness… when these emotions attack you it can cause an uphill and uneven walk… with pitfalls and roadblocks… but they are of your making because you don't choose to the right response.    Silence is your Protection Scripture is your weapon Faith is your push back into the darkness   Silence protects you a few ways… You do not give your adversary any more ammo to pull your strings or trigger you. You keep them guessing You ultimately make them give up You create a sense that you know something they don't and it makes them feel vulnerable, more likely to expose their motives and their faults.   Scripture is your weapon. I just had a conversation with a young man who said he does not believe in speaking in tongues and the HS gifts for today… I said show me in scripture where it says that. He started to say “well I think… I cut him off immediately and told him he was either incredibly stupid, naive or arrogant or he was God. Because no one who serves God should care what another man thinks if it does not line up with scripture. My life is lived according to scripture… not my circumstances, not my upbringing, not what others think… even if they seem smarter than me… My life and how I view my life is totally based on scripture. If the rest of my life I pray for people to be healed and they are not… Im still believing God heals for today because that is what Gods word says.    My aikido sense was John Barr- I have talked about him a few times on my podcast. He was the best, well known, on magazine covers, fought with Steven Seagal… his wife tells a story of when they went to a restaurant that had a bar…. (Story)  No change in emotion, no anger, no change of demeanor… just a calm statement of faith.  John knew what he knew, he believed what he knew and he knew it was true. THATS FAITH. When you pray a prayer of faith or live a life of faith… you don't have to pray loud, live brash, but if you just know what you know, believe what scripture says, and live the truth. Thats faith.    Authority self esteem, self control, inner strength… self respect… its a muscle. And as they say… use it or lose it!

This episode of SpaceTime explores the recent surge in solar activity, including the largest solar flare of the year and the most intense geomagnetic storm in two decades.Massive Solar Flare and Its ImplicationsWe delve into the details of a powerful X 2.7 class solar flare that erupted from a newly active sunspot region, AR14087. Although the flare was not initially directed towards Earth, its rotation has now positioned it directly in our path. We discuss the mechanics of solar flares, their classification, and the potential impacts of such events on our planet, including disruptions to communication systems, satellite operations, and even power grids.The Gannon Storm: A Historic Geomagnetic EventThe episode highlights the Gannon Storm, a severe geomagnetic storm that struck Earth on May 10, 2024. Coinciding with a space weather exercise, this event caused significant disruptions, including high voltage power line failures and rerouted flights due to radiation exposure. We analyze its effects on the atmosphere, satellites, and even the ionosphere, revealing insights into how such storms can impact modern technology.Ancient Solar Storms and Their Modern ImplicationsIn a fascinating segment, we discuss a groundbreaking study that identifies the strongest solar storm ever recorded, dating back to 12350 BCE. This ancient event, significantly more intense than any modern storm, provides invaluable data for understanding solar activity and its potential risks to contemporary infrastructure.Science Robert: Long Work Hours and Brain ChangesWe also touch on a new study revealing how long working hours could alter brain structures, potentially affecting memory and emotional regulation.Join us as we unpack these cosmic phenomena and their implications for life on Earth and beyond.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesJournal of Occupational Environmental Medicinehttps://journals.lww.com/joem/Pages/default.aspxBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-space-astronomy--2458531/support.00:00 Solar flares are powerful blasts of energy erupting from sunspots10:30 May 2024 was the biggest geomagnetic storm in over 20 years14:29 New study reveals strongest solar event ever recorded, rewriting science on space weather18:23 A new study claims people who work long hours could have altered brain structures

Interview withJohn Cash, CEO of Ur-Energy Inc.Andre Liebenberg, Executive Director & CEO of Yellow Cake PLCRecording date: 14th May 2025The global uranium market is undergoing a fundamental transformation as a confluence of energy transition goals, geopolitical tensions, and new technology drives demand higher. Nuclear power, long sidelined in policy debates, is regaining momentum due to its ability to deliver carbon-free baseload power in a world increasingly powered by data centers, AI infrastructure, and electrification.Key markets like China and the U.S. are leading the resurgence. China alone is building 26 reactors, with more approved, while the U.S. is extending the life and output of existing plants. Beyond these, countries in the UAE, Canada, and Europe are revisiting nuclear as part of their decarbonization strategy. This results in a dual demand dynamic—growth from new builds and rising fuel requirements from uprates and life extensions.A new frontier of demand is also emerging. Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), designed for remote or off-grid applications, are being positioned to serve industrial projects and data centers needing secure, emissions-free energy. This aligns with a broader shift from nuclear being seen purely as a clean energy solution to one that also supports energy sovereignty and national resilience.On the supply side, the uranium sector is constrained. Permitting delays, technical bottlenecks, labor shortages, and long project lead times mean even elevated prices haven't sparked a broad production rebound. Industry leaders like UR Energy CEO John Cash and Yellow Cake CEO Andre Liebenberg point to the lack of conversion and enrichment capacity in Western markets as an additional hurdle. This underscores the need for multi-year investment in the full fuel cycle.Geopolitics are also tightening Western supply chains. Kazakhstan, the world's top uranium producer, is increasingly shipping material eastward, not out of hostility but practicality. Still, the result is a growing bifurcation in global uranium flows that further limits Western procurement options.As a result, institutional investors are being encouraged to view uranium as a structurally revaluing asset class rather than a cyclical commodity. Exposure can be taken through physical holders like Yellow Cake, which tracks uranium prices directly, or producers like UR Energy, which is already generating long-term contract revenue.Risks remain—chiefly around timing, geopolitical disruption, and capital market dynamics. Yet, with demand outpacing supply and investment requirements high, the uranium market appears poised for sustained long-term opportunity.Sign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

#564 In this episode of the podcast, I dive deep into the idea that while capturing the right moment in photography matters most, it's not everything. I share my own experiences as a photographer, especially those early days when I felt overwhelmed by all the camera settings—aperture, shutter speed, ISO—and how easy it is to get distracted by what influencers say you need in terms of new gear. I open up about how sharing my photos online sometimes left me second-guessing myself when the feedback was harsh or not constructive, and how important it is for our mental health to not tie our self-worth to internet commentary.KEY TOPICS COVEREDThe Role of Moment in Great Photography - I talk about why the “moment” is king, but also share a story of photographing race cars with my son to show that technical choices—like shutter speed—are what give your images the power to convey emotion and story.Overcoming Overwhelm and Gear Envy - I reflect on my struggles with self-doubt, gear lust, and how feeling unskilled led me to blame my camera for missed shots. I encourage you to focus on learning and being patient with yourself instead of obsessing over equipment or social media critique.Shooting in Manual and Preparing for the Moment - I break down my personal workflow, from choosing settings to working with couples, so you can enter your sessions confident in exposure and ready to pay attention to the fleeting moments that matter.IMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSManual Mode: The camera setting where the photographer controls ISO, aperture, and shutter speed, rather than letting the camera choose. This gives more creative control and removes uncertainty about exposure.Exposure: The overall brightness or darkness of a photograph, determined by settings such as shutter speed, aperture, and ISO. Proper exposure is essential for capturing high-quality moments.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow has mastering camera settings changed the way you feel during a shoot?Have social media comments ever affected your confidence? How can you protect your creative process?What can you do before a session to minimize stress and maximize your ability to catch authentic moments?Sign up for your free CloudSpot Account today at www.DeliverPhotos.comConnect with Raymond!

Most of {demoralization} is done by Americans to Americans, due to a lack of moral standards. Exposure to true information doesn't matter anymore. One who is demoralized is unable to assess true information. The facts tell nothing. Even if I shower him with information, with authentic proof, even if I take him by force... and show him a concentration camp, he will refuse to believe it - until the military boot crushes his balls, then he will understand - but not before that. The next stage is destabilization... economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. The next stage is crisis. And after crisis, with a violent change of power, structure, + economy, you have the so-called period of normalization. It may last indefinitely. This is what will happen in the United States if you allow all these schmucks to bring the country to crisis, to promise people all kinds of goodies and the paradise on Earth, to destabilize your economy, to eliminate the principle of free market competition, and to put a Big Brother government in Washington, D.C., with benevolent dictators... who will promise lots of things. Never mind whether the promises unfulfillable or not... He will create false illusions that the situation is under control. The situation is not under control. The United States is in the state of war.Whether I scare some people are not, I don't give a hoot. If you are not scared by now, nothing can scare you. But you don't have to be paranoid about it. You have to force your government to stop."THE SOURCES: Watch the interview: https://bigthink.com/the-present/yuri-bezmenov/Read about Bezmenov: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yuri_BezmenovResearch source: https://www.historians.org/sixteen-months/the-causes-of-our-national-demoralization/Research source: https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/russian-misinformation-seeks-to-confound-not-convince/Donate to Palestinian Children's Relief Fund::www.pcrf.netDonate to Mutual Aid Funds: https://www.folxhealth.com/library/mutual-aid-fundsGET AN OCCASIONAL PERSONAL EMAIL FROM ME: www.makeyourdamnbedpodcast.comTUNE IN ON INSTAGRAM FOR COOL CONTENT: www.instagram.com/mydbpodcastOR BE A REAL GEM + TUNE IN ON PATREON: www.patreon.com/MYDBpodcastOR WATCH ON YOUTUBE: www.youtube.com/juliemerica The opinions expressed by Julie Merica and Make Your Damn Bed Podcast are intended for entertainment purposes only.

TAKE A LISTEN Trump Just Got Britain To Hit China, UK Politicians Say  British politicians are expressing alarm that the new U.S.–UK trade deal gives President Donald Trump the power to block Chinese investments in critical British infrastructure. The deal announced last week requires the UK to “promptly meet U.S. requirements” to shield supply chains and “relevant production facilities” from foreign investment. If the European country does not meet these requirements, the U.S. can reimpose tariffs, effectively using trade pressure to dictate which countries can invest in the UK's core infrastructure. That clause triggered immediate backlash from British lawmakers and media, who say the U.S. now has a de facto “veto” over foreign investment — specifically Chinese money flowing into the UK's steel and aluminum sectors.   “Washington wants the UK and others to peel away from Chinese trade and investment, especially in sensitive areas like steel,” said Allie Renison, a former trade official, speaking to the FT.

Send us a textEver double-checked that your door was locked, even though you knew it was? That momentary doubt is normal—but what happens when these urges become overwhelming and constant? Drawing distinct lines between everyday quirks and clinical conditions, we untangle the often confused Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and Obsessive-Compulsive Personality Disorder (OCPD).The key distinction is profound: OCD manifests as intrusive, unwanted thoughts triggering repetitive behaviors to reduce anxiety. These thoughts feel foreign to the person experiencing them—what psychologists call "ego-dystonic." Despite recognizing their irrationality, people with OCD feel powerless to stop the cycle that consumes at least an hour daily. Most shocking is the 11-year average delay between symptom onset and treatment, largely due to shame and misdiagnosis.By contrast, OCPD represents a pervasive personality pattern centered on orderliness, perfectionism, and control. Unlike OCD, people with OCPD typically view their traits as rational or even virtuous—they're "ego-syntonic." This fundamentally different self-perception drives treatment differences: while OCD responds well to Exposure and Response Prevention therapy and medication, OCPD requires longer-term approaches focused on building flexibility and self-awareness.We examine how cultural context complicates recognition of OCPD, as traits like diligence and meticulousness often receive positive reinforcement. Someone might excel professionally while struggling significantly in relationships due to rigidity and control needs. Consider how our society's emphasis on productivity and perfection might blur the line between dedication and disorder—when do high standards become harmful?Whether you're a mental health professional seeking clarity or someone trying to understand these conditions better, this episode provides the framework to distinguish between unwanted symptoms and ingrained personality traits, guiding the path toward appropriate support and treatment.

Sabrina Eliano never thought she'd end up in therapy. Raised in a family where mental health wasn't discussed — and where seeking help was seen as something only “crazy” people did — she carried that belief well into adulthood. Even as she struggled with obsessive thoughts and anxiety that began to take over her life, she convinced herself it wasn't that bad. But when she found herself on a subway platform, overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts and wishing the train would hit her just to make the noise stop, something finally broke. She realized she had no one left to talk to — and no other option but to try the very thing she had spent her whole life avoiding.What happened next didn't just help her cope — it changed her life. Therapy, specifically Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP), gave Sabrina the tools to stop fearing her thoughts and start reclaiming control. In this episode, she opens up about the cultural stigma that kept her silent, the physical toll OCD took on her body, and the moment she went from resisting therapy to pursuing a career in it.0:00 Intro and mental health awareness month2:55 Meet Sabrina6:10 Sabrina goes to therapy after resisting it10:33 Changing career paths because of her therapy experience12:24 Ruminating on thoughts15:46 Realizing your experience and thoughts have an explanation17:39 OCD never gives relief — not even when you give in to it18:30 Why OCD feels so real23:33 How cultures and families think about therapy28:20 Trying ERP without safety behaviors32:57 Not being asked about mental health during the medical process35:58 Advice from Sabrina to those struggling with OCD37:57 Living the life you want to live — not OCD's life39:19 Why Sabrina never gave up on therapy44:21 Sabrina's takeaway messageNeed help treating OCD?

Story at-a-glance Many common medications contain hidden gluten and soy in their "inactive" ingredients, which trigger reactions in sensitive individuals A study found 44.4% of pain relievers contained gluten and 14% of NSAIDs contained soy-based additives, with poor labeling making identification difficult Solid oral medications most commonly contain gluten, while liquids and suppositories more frequently contain soy derivatives Exposure to these hidden allergens causes serious health consequences ranging from digestive issues to permanent damage in those with sensitivities Focus on leading a healthy lifestyle to reduce your reliance on medications that contain hidden allergens; this includes optimizing sun exposure, avoiding processed foods, eating enough healthy carbs and prioritizing daily movement

Church Scandals Aren't Random: How Ignorance Paves the Way for More Harm A Funny, Painful Story (That's Actually Very Relevant) Before we dive into heavy stuff, let me tell you a story. 4 weeks and 2 days ago... Picture this: I'm flat on my back, in the middle of the street, 20 feet away from a car that thankfully didn't roll over me. I'm convinced something's stabbing into my heart. Pain is shooting through my body in so many places. A kind lady rushes from her porch to help me hobble to safety while the ambulance is called. As I wait there's constant pain, but when I move in certain ways it suddenly becomes utterly excruciating. No idea what I hit. No idea what actually happened. Things were going great for the two hours I was on my OneWheel before the accident.  What the heck happened? And what is happening now? Some neighbor kids stop and check in. I ask them to pray for me and I lead them in a prayer in Jesus name... that was a comfort from strangers. The ambulance finally arrives -- after it seems like forever -- and load me onto a stretcher. They were sure I dislocated my shoulder and were insisting to pull me up. I knew that wasn't what was wrong. I was embarrassingly vocal about not being helped up. I seemed to feel every single pothole on the way to hospital.  Arriving in the hospital... the random excruciating shoots through my chest continued -- oh, and so did my resulting involuntary screams. (No recordings were taken, thank God :) So, the morphine helped and the oxy-whatever they gave me next. But what really changed everything was the x-rays. They finally discover the truth: My clavicle was snapped clean through. Knowing what was actually wrong changed everything. I finally had clarity. I finally had a path toward healing — real healing — not just numbing the pain. I finally could understand how to move in a way that avoided the excruciating pain and actually kept things in place to heal most effectively. THIS is what's happening in the Church right now. We have an injury. It's bad. Really, really, really bad. But instead of diagnosing it, we often just take some spiritual "morphine" — slap on platitudes, excuses, or cover-ups — and hope healing happens. It doesn't. Tragically, thousands of new cases are reported yearly... in the church of Jesus Christ around the world. This is horrifying. And the Church's sexual scandals are not random. They are not "one-off" tragedies.They are the result of deep, hidden roots — an injury we have to address if we want healing. Church Hurt: Ignoring the Pain Doesn't Heal It If I had ignored my broken clavicle, kept "powering through," or simply taken painkillers to numb it? It would have actually healed wrong.Permanently damaged.Maybe even required major surgery to fix later. The Church is at that critical moment.If we don't stop and x-ray the damage — truly diagnose the underlying break — it won't just stay bad. It will get worse. That's why these scandals feel endless. They are symptoms of deeper problems never addressed.   Church Scandals Are Not Random Accidents The fall of a pastor or leader is often treated like a shocking, isolated event. "He must have just slipped up!""It was a moment of weakness!" But the truth is, these scandals follow patterns. Unchecked small compromises.Isolation.A culture that produces an environment where pastors must be superhuman.  Double lives hidden by fear and shame.Lack of sexual stewardship. These are not random falls.These are predictable results of invisible fractures left untreated. The Enemy Wants Our Ignorance Satan thrives when we stay ignorant. When we don't know the roots, we can't heal them.When we don't expose the darkness, it festers and infects the Body of Christ. Paul makes it clear we shouldn't be ignorant of how the enemy attacks: "In order that Satan might not outwit us. For we are not unaware of his schemes." (2 Cor 2:11) Jesus warns us: "The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy." (John 10:10) When sexual sin in leadership is ignored, minimized, or hidden, it does exactly that:Steals faith.Kills trust.Destroys credibility. We must be wise.We must stop assuming "it could never happen here."We must learn how to recognize the roots before they bloom into ruin.   Why Sexual Sin Wounds So Deeply & How to Heal Sexual sin isn't "just another mistake."Biblically, it's in a category of its own: "Flee from sexual immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the sexually immoral person sins against his own body." (1 Corinthians 6:18) When a leader sins sexually, it's a double wound: Personal: They defile their own body, the temple of the Holy Spirit. Corporate: They shatter the credibility of the Gospel they once preached. People who were already fragile in their faith see hypocrisy... and walk away not just from a leader, but from Jesus, Himself. The wound runs deep. But Jesus takes it seriously. Jesus didn't say: "Try not to look at porn if you can." "Lust is understandable, just don't act on it." No. He said: "If your right eye causes you to stumble, gouge it out... It's better to lose one part of your body than for your whole body to be thrown into hell." (Matthew 5:29) Jesus used extreme language because sexual sin matters that much. We should not downplay what Jesus took so seriously. When leaders indulge in pornography, prostitution, or affairs, they are objectifying someone God created. That woman on a screen is a daughter of the King of Kings. A daughter who He even gave His only son to save. Cover-Ups Are Spiritual Oxycodone It's easier to slap a spiritual Band-Aid over a scandal than face the ugly truth. "Let's quietly remove him." "Let's not make a big deal; it might hurt the church's reputation." "Let's just forgive and move on." That's spiritual oxycodone — numbing the pain without healing the break. Without truth and exposure, the infection worsens.The pattern repeats.More people get hurt.   Real love doesn't ignore cancer.Real love demands we discover it and deal with it.   That's actual love.   And Exposure Alone Isn't Enough Here's the other mistake:Thinking that "going public" fixes the problem.   It doesn't.   Exposure without a healing plan leaves broken people bleeding in the streets. Just like my broken clavicle needed realignment, time, careful handling and care — fallen leaders (and hurting congregations) need intentional healing journeys. Healing isn't automatic. It's hard. It takes time. It takes wisdom. It takes safe people. But it's possible. Healing the Church Starts with Us You may be a small group leader.A volunteer.A pastor's wife.A youth mentor.A faithful Sunday worshiper.   You are part of the Body.And when one part is sick, the whole body suffers. We cannot afford to shrug and say, "Not my problem." The future witness of the Church depends on believers who are awake, wise, and willing to act.   The Band-Aid Problem Let me just say it plainly: Covering up a church scandal with "just pray for him" or "let's not talk about it" is like slapping a Batman-themed Band-Aid on a bullet wound and sending the guy back into battle. He's going to bleed out. And so is the faith of everyone watching. We need real surgery, not stickers.   What Next? What Pastors and Leaders Need If you've been wounded by a scandal —If you're grieved by the hypocrisy —If you're tired of seeing Jesus' name dragged through the mud — You are not alone.

Neither of us delivered - neither could deliver enough. I questioned my leadership positions at work and at church, just never feeling like I was the right guy to lead... [Now,] I'm taking ownership. This is my home. This is my marriage. She is my wife. Ours is a union blessed by God. In taking my roles as husband, father, help mate more seriously, my whole family has begun to benefit. The man's role is not to simply coexist, but to lead the marriage and family. I can make a difference in the family by leading to and with God."

Have you ever wondered why anxiety in children can look and feel so physical—and what we as pediatricians, parents, or caregivers can do about it? We're visiting a fan favorite from Episode #26 of Pediatric Meltdown, Dr. Lia Gaggino sits down with Dr. Colleen Cullinan, a leading pediatric psychologist, to dissect the powerful 3 B's approach: Brain, Body, and Behavior. Together, they reveal eye-opening truths about integrated behavioral health, the ways anxiety manifests in kids, and practical, actionable strategies for managing emotional meltdowns in real-time. This is not just about recognizing anxiety—it's about transforming how we support kids inside and outside the exam room. If you want to empower families, level up your clinical skills, and make a tangible difference, don't miss this conversation. This episode could change the way you think about pediatric care—forever.[00:00 - 11:35] Integrated Care Foundations: Building Partnerships in Pediatric PracticeIntegrated behavioral health bridges the gap between physical and mental health, creating seamless care experiences for families.Primary care is often the first—and sometimes only—entry point for children facing emotional or behavioral challenges.Partnerships between pediatricians and behavioral health providers increase accessibility, reduce stigma, and foster earlier intervention.The synergy and trust between pediatricians and psychology professionals leads to holistic, effective patient care.[11:36 - 15:49] The Role of Primary Care in Managing Anxiety and Emotional HealthPrimary care providers serve as trusted anchors, introducing mental health as an essential component of overall health.Familiarity with a child's history allows pediatricians to recognize subtle behavior changes and collaborate meaningfully with behavioral specialists.Normalizing physical symptoms of anxiety (like stomachaches and headaches) helps bridge conversations from medical to emotional concerns.Educating families on the inseparability of physical and emotional health empowers them to seek support without shame.[15:50 - 28:55] Anxiety Explained: The 3 B's and Practical Strategies for KidsThe "3 B's": Brain, Body, and Behavior, are interlinked—anxiety in the brain triggers body sensations, which guide behavior, often leading to avoidance.Psychoeducation is key: Emphasizing to families and youth that everyone experiences anxiety validates their feelings and reduces shame.Simple, actionable distress tolerance tools—breathing exercises, grounding techniques (like the “five senses” method), and focusing attention—can be taught in minutes during a regular visit.Providers can help children recognize “worry thoughts” and redirect their response before anxiety spirals into withdrawal or meltdown.[28:56 - 49:20] When to Escalate: Distress Tolerance, Prevention, and Team-Based SolutionsDistress tolerance techniques can bridge the gap until a child can access specialized behavioral care—or be sufficient for milder cases.Functional impairment is the marker for when anxiety moves from “manageable” to requiring traditional CBT or higher-level intervention.Exposure therapy explained: At its core, CBT for anxiety involves identifying fears and encouraging gradual, manageable exposure to them, with improvement through repetition.Advocacy for integrated behavioral health, resource sharing, and ongoing partnerships with community therapists are essential for sustainable, high-impact child mental health care.[49:21- 53:34] Dr. Lia's...

#558 In this episode of the podcast, I wanted to shake things up by sharing five practical photo assignments that can help you build your skills no matter where you are in your photography journey. My goal was to get you out of passive learning mode and encourage you to actually take action—because in photography, ideas mean little without execution. Throughout the episode, I weave in personal stories and lessons learned from both my professional work and family life, emphasizing that constraints (like shooting with only 12 photos or at high noon) aren't your enemy—they're your creative fuel.Key themes include being intentional with every shot, appreciating and mastering different types of light (even the ones we usually try to avoid), developing an efficient editing workflow, and learning to tell complete stories with your images. My hope is that by giving you these specific assignments, you'll find not only growth in your technical skills, but also gain confidence and a deeper understanding of your personal style. I also encourage you to reflect on your process and results so you can identify what truly matters to you as a photographer. There were no guest speakers in this episode—just me sharing practical advice and my own experiences to help you get the most out of your camera and creativity.THE 5 SKILL BUILDER SHOOTSThe One-Hour StoryHigh-Noon Portrait5-Minute Editing BatonSame Subject, Four MoodsThe 24-Frame RollIMPORTANT DEFINITIONS & CONCEPTSThree-Act Structure in Storytelling: Borrowed from filmmaking, this divides a photographic story into a beginning (context), middle (action), and end (resolution), guiding the photographer to create a cohesive narrative in a series of images.DISCUSSION & REFLECTION QUESTIONSHow does imposing creative constraints (like a shot limit) shift your approach to photography?After trying one of these assignments, what did you learn about your personal style or decision-making process?Can you identify an image you captured with intention?

Story at-a-glance Research shows that glyphosate exposure, even at “safe” levels, causes hormone imbalance, oxidative stress, and permanent damage to reproductive organs like the ovaries and uterus Exposure reduces estrogen and follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH) while increasing testosterone and progesterone, creating conditions similar to PCOS. It also impairs egg quality and lowers the chance of successful fertilization and implantation Glyphosate alters gene expression in the uterus of offspring who were never directly exposed. These inherited disruptions impact fertility for your children and grandchildren The chemical shuts down mitochondria, blocks detox enzymes, and depletes essential minerals, setting off a chain reaction that affects everything from hormone production to brain function Avoiding glyphosate-contaminated food, filtering your water, eliminating seed oils, and healing your gut are key steps to reverse its impact and regain reproductive and metabolic health
