In this special "No Fear Fall" series kickoff episode, Heather Creekmore digs deep into the connection between faith and fear—two powerful forces that shape our daily lives. Have you ever wondered why “faith over fear” doesn’t always seem to work in real life? Are you struggling to connect your big beliefs about God to your everyday worries and anxieties? This episode is for you. What This Episode Covers: Faith vs. Fear: Heather challenges the widely held belief that faith and fear are simply opposites in a tug-of-war. She explores why this dichotomy might not be the most helpful way for Christians to approach their struggles. Micro Fears and Mosquito Bites: From perfectionism and the fear of failure to tiny, everyday anxieties (like being the “fattest person in the room” or just being late), Heather shares how these micro-fears sap our joy and confidence. Applying Faith to Real Life: Learn why just telling yourself to "have more faith" doesn't always solve the problem—and what true, biblical faith actually looks like in the face of daily struggles. The Object of Your Faith: Is your faith in God’s character and goodness, or just in Him delivering the results you want? Heather unpacks the difference and warns against letting new age manifesting ideas creep into our beliefs. Practical Biblical Encouragement: Heather references Philippians 4 and the life of Abraham to illustrate that faith can be messy, imperfect, and still deeply meaningful. She offers encouragement to keep trusting, even when God’s answers aren’t what you hoped for. Takeaways: Real, life-changing faith is rooted in the character of God—not in specific outcomes or your own plans. It's okay to bring your desires to God, but hold them with open hands, trusting His greater wisdom and love for you. Even imperfect faith holds value; God honors hearts that keep coming back to Him.

Mariano Gontchar: Fear-Free Teams—Creating Psychological Safety for High Performance Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. Mariano's definition of Scrum Master success has evolved dramatically from his early days of focusing on "deliver on time and budget" to a more sophisticated understanding centered on team independence and psychological safety. Today, he measures success by whether teams can self-manage, communicate effectively with stakeholders, and operate without fear of criticism. This shift represents a fundamental change from output-focused metrics to outcome-focused team health indicators that create sustainable high performance. Self-reflection Question: How has your definition of success evolved in your current role, and what would change if you focused on team independence rather than traditional delivery metrics? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Frustration-Based Retrospective Mariano's retrospective approach focuses on asking team members about their biggest frustrations from the last sprint. This format helps team members realize their frustrations aren't unique and creates psychological safety for sharing challenges. The key is always asking the team to propose solutions themselves rather than imposing fixes, making retrospectives about genuine continuous improvement rather than just complaining sessions.

If you're a pet parent, you've doubtlessly had at least one stressful experience bringing your pet to the vet. However, we can all agree that regular vet visits are critical to maintaining your pet's health. So, what's the solution?One of the biggest themes I observed at WVC2025 was the reimagining of veterinary clinics and care models to create spaces that more comfortable for both pets and their parents. This transformation extends beyond architecture and interior design. Did you know KONG is now helping transform the veterinary experience? I had a chance to talk to Dr. Danielle Graziano, Head Veterinarian at KONG, about how they've launched new clinic kits designed by veterinarians to support fear-free handling and cooperative care.This is an ingenious adaptation of the brand's trusted pet products to turn the exam room into a more positive experience, providing vets with practical tools to reduce patient stress.In this interview, we explore:- How their spinning lick mats and specialized toys create positive distractions during exams and procedures- Solutions for both cats and dogs that respect their emotional wellbeing- How these tools integrate into clinics without requiring complete renovationsAs pet parents, we all know the anxiety our furry friends can experience at the vet. My dog, Peony, loves her Fear-Free certified vet but still gets nervous in exam rooms. KONG's approach addresses this common challenge with practical solutions.I'm excited to see more and more companies and clinics give thoughtful consideration to animals' emotional wellbeing. Kudos to Dr. Graziano and KONG!

"We have to stop the endless cycle. Everyone loves kittens, but the goal should be to make sure they were never born into suffering in the first place."

Robin's journey from shelter veterinary assistant to leading Animal Fix Clinic, a high-volume spay/neuter and urgent care facility, underscores her commitment to helping both community cats and pet owners. She dives into the challenges of managing feral cat populations, the necessity of spaying mother cats to prevent the endless cycle of unwanted kittens, and how her clinic is implementing Fear Free practices to minimize stress for cats undergoing surgery.

A member of the illustrious Transformational Leadership Council created by Jack Canfield, uniting many of the world's top personal growth luminaries, Zen has worked with over 40,000 people, including training 4,000 master students, on the nuances of how recognize and act on the messages of their IGS to achieve a peak life in alignment with their life purpose. An internationally renowned inspirational teacher, speaker, author and executive coach, Zen's passion is teaching people to tap into their innate inner guidance to generate consistent, successful results in life. The result is replacing exhaustion, anxiety, fear and dread with ease, joy, flow and fulfillment. Zen's programs have helped thousands of people all over the world transform their lives for the better, with sustained positive changes in their business and personal lives. Her compassion radiates through her work, and her style is down to earth, practical, humorous and wise. Zen's international bestselling book, Your Inner GPS is an easy-to-read how-to on the way to let this inner wisdom guide you to success, and the Smart Soul Academy provides a deeper easily-accessible online guide to mastering this art. The key to Zen's success arrived when she decoded her own Internal Guidance System® and learned that everyone was born with a factory installed Inner GPS. In the beginning, she used it fuel her own success, as founder and CEO of one of the first Internet design companies in the world. The company grew exponentially, and worked with Fortune 500 companies, including Applied Materials, IBM, Electronic Arts, BP and VISA. After that firm dissolved in the dot-com collapse, she found herself filling the request of many of her fellow entrepreneurs and executives to advise them on how she was seemingly emotionally untouched by the rollercoaster they were experiencing. It was the springboard for her to become a full-time executive coach and IGS guide. She has since coached thousands of business leaders to use their IGS for success in every area of their lives. Zen's rise to fame and success capped a life that began in an abusive dysfunctional home, saw her experience sexual abuse at the hands of someone outside her family, forced her to seek emancipation at 16 years old, dropped out of high school and then struggled to make a living until she discovered her IGS. She went on to earn a degree in Global Politics with Mandarin Chinese and Minor in Art History from U.C. Davis, before stepping into the rise of the San Francisco, CA, digital companies in the mid 1990s and became CEO and a founding member of The Netkitchen one of the first usability and internet design firms in the world. Zen is a breast cancer survivor and busy home schooling mom, in additional to her Academy work.

Dr. Carol Reinero, an expert in respiratory diseases in small animals, discusses the rising popularity and associated problems of brachycephalic (shortnosed) dog breeds such as French Bulldogs, English Bulldogs, and Pugs. She explains how their physical traits lead to a variety of health problems, particularly respiratory issues known as brachycephalic obstructive airway syndrome (BOAS) and aerodigestive disorders. The discussion delves into how even though specific symptoms associated with brachycelpahlic breeds (including exercise intolerance, loud breathing, coughing after eating, excessive burping, flatulence, snoring and obstructive sleep apnea) are often considered “normal," these have serious long-term health implications and negatively impact a dog's quality of life. In addition, due to their compromised respiratory systems, these dogs are also increasingly susceptible to infections and severe manifestations of diseases like canine influenza. To combat these serious concerns, Dr. Reinero emphasizes the critical role of veterinary professionals in managing the complex health needs of brachycephalic dogs. By adopting Gentle Control techniques, implementing effective obesity management strategies, educating pet owners, and tailoring vaccination protocols to include low-volume preventive vaccines, veterinary professionals can significantly enhance the well-being of these beloved breeds. Additionally, the discussion delves into specifics of creating a positive and Fear Free veterinary experience that fosters better compliance with health recommendations and strengthens the human-animal bond. This episode is brought to you by our friends at Elanco.

Around two million people in the United states will be diagnosed this year with cancer. Taken together, each one of these individual life-changing diagnoses forms a part of an overall cancer care industrial complex which adds to up to an annual $75 billion sector of the national economy. And, like every other business heading into the second quarter of the 21st Century, cancer treatment is changing and advancing with the implementation of technology that includes AI.  In Baton Rouge, very few people are more familiar with the current state of cancer care than Sotirios Stathakis, Chief of Physics at Mary Bird Perkins Cancer Center, and a radiation oncology physicist with more than two decades of experience in this highly technical field. Sotirios came to Mary Bird in 2023, and in his role there oversees the cancer center's physics and dosimetry teams. He also is involved in implementing new AI technology at Mary Bird to help improve internal processes, with the goal of improving both outcomes and the patient experience. Sotirios is a native of Greece who was educated in Canada and Scotland before returning to Greece to obtain his PhD in medical physics. Prior to his current perch in Baton Rouge, he served in a similar role at the University of Texas Health San Antonio Mays Cancer Center, an NCI-designated cancer center .   While cancer care is one of the fastest growing segments of our healthcare economy, another rapidly expanding field is pet care, which is growing by 7% a year. In cold hard cash, over the past 12 months Americans spent even more on pet care than cancer care: a whopping $80 Billion. According to numerous studies, we love our pets to the point where we'll sacrifice all sorts of other discretionary expenses to lavish our furry friends with whatever they need to be their best selves. Locally, Lauren Swartley is a hands-on expert on the subject of pet care. Lauren is the founder and owner of Lend A Paw, a premium dog walking and pet sitting company that is bonded and Insured through Pet Sitter Associates, and Pet CPR & First Aid Certified through the American Red Cross.  Lend A Paw is also the first and only Fear Free certified pet sitting company in Louisiana. Lend a Paw provides in-home one-on-one care for pets, with specially curated visits and software, so you're able to view your pets in real time.  Lauren founded the business in 2018, after she adopted a heartworm positive Staffordshire terrier named Hayes and fell in love with him and the cause. Despite advances in medical science and the onward drumbeat of AI, for reasons we probably don't totally understand, lavishing love on our pets reportedly improves our opwn health. In this win-win world Sitorios and Lauren have more in common than you might think at first glance. Out to Lunch was recorded live over lunch at Mansurs On the Boulevard.
