Send us a textIn Ep. 206, host Andrea Atherton sits down with mystical coach Madison Creel to explore what happens when we lose ourselves in relationships—and how the unraveling can be a sacred invitation back home to the self. Through the shared language of spiritual healing and subconscious transformation, Andrea and Madison reflect on what it means to pour so much of ourselves into love that, when it ends, we're left with nothing but the echo of who we once were. This episode offers an honest, heart-led look at the soul work required to rebuild from the inside out.Together, they discuss how early childhood wounds and unconscious beliefs quietly shape the way we relate, attach, and abandon our own needs in the name of connection. Madison vulnerably shares her personal story of self-forgetting and how the grief of losing herself in past relationships cracked her open to a deeper truth: that love must first be rooted within. Andrea brings her wisdom from decades of therapeutic and spiritual work, guiding the conversation toward the importance of reclaiming the parts of ourselves we've exiled for the sake of being chosen. This is a dialogue between two women who understand that true healing is not about getting back to who you were before love, but about becoming who you were always meant to be.If you've ever woken up after a breakup and wondered where you went, this episode will feel like a warm hand on your heart. Andrea and Madison offer more than insight—they offer hope, compassion, and the tools to begin again. Whether you're navigating the aftermath of a relationship or simply realizing how often you abandon yourself in the pursuit of love, this sacred conversation is a map back to your wholeness. Madison Creel Instagram: www.journeytoaum.comTikTok: @journeytoaumFB: Journey to Aum Coachingwww.mastersofselfuniversity.com30-minute Consultation with Andrea https://www.andreaatherton.com/booking-calendarAndrea Atherton Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/Love Anarchy Websitehttps://www.andreaatherton.com/podcasthttps://loveanarchypodcast.buzzsprout.comLove Anarchy Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/loveanarchypodcast/Andrea Atherton Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/andreaatherton-17/

Do You Know What's Driving Your Hormone Symptoms? Take the first step to balance your hormones naturally with my FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz You've swapped cereal for eggs, added collagen to your coffee, maybe even splurged on the “cleanest” plant-based protein tub you could find at Costco… and still, your skinny jeans won't button without a prayer and some deep squats. If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. In midlife, most women are eating far less protein than their bodies actually need. And thanks to a little-known phenomenon called the protein leverage effect, that gap can lead to blood sugar spikes, cravings, and overeating… even when you're trying to eat clean. In today's episode, I'm peeling back the curtain on the three biggest protein mistakes women make in midlife—and how to fix them to support hormone balance, stabilize metabolism, and finally move the needle on weight loss. In this episode, we'll unpack: ✅ Why is protein so important for hormone balance in midlife? ✅ How do hormones affect protein requirements in perimenopause?  ✅ Can eating more protein prevent weight gain during perimenopause?  ✅ Can high protein intake help stabilize blood sugar in perimenopause? ✅ How much protein do women over 40 actually need per day?  ✅ What are complete vs incomplete proteins, and why does it matter?  ✅ Does plant protein work as well as animal protein for perimenopausal women?  ✅ Can protein help reduce cravings in midlife?  ✅ Does eating more protein boost metabolism after 50? ✅ What's the best protein powder for women over 40? ✅ What is the best time to eat protein for hormone health in midlife? If you've been loading up on protein, but the scale still isn't budging—this episode is for you.

Episode 307 Using new “ultrasoft” electronics, researchers at Harvard have effectively created tadpole cyborgs. A soft bioelectronic device has been implanted into their brains - one which grows with them as they develop into frogs. This neural implant is a first step in helping us better understand the inner workings of the brain. But could this work in mammals…or humans? Discussing just that, the Royal Society held a meeting this week called Cyborg Futures. How soon until humans become one with machines? A small fleet of cheap drones has been deployed by Ukraine's security service, causing $7 billion of damage to Russian air power. Just 117 drones were able to take out a third of Russia's nuclear bomb force. Difficult to catch, hard to jam and nearly impossible to shoot down - are drones a paradigm shift in warfare? The Vera Rubin Observatory in Chile has just opened, promising to carry out a legacy survey of space and time. US editor Chelsea Whyte visited the newly operational telescope to see how it will map out the night sky in never-before-seen detail. Learn how it hopes to answer some of the biggest mysteries about dark matter and dark energy - and find out about the legacy of Vera Rubin, the astronomer the telescope is named after. Think net-zero climate action is costing us way too much, driving up living costs and damaging the economy? Think again. The Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) has taken on all of the misinformation circulating about our goal to achieve net zero emissions, showing that raising climate ambition would actually boost the global economy. Find out why. Chapters: (00:32) Frogs with cyborg brains…are humans next?

In this episode of the Love Stories podcast, I had the pleasure of welcoming Casey Caston, co-founder and CEO of Marriage 365, to discuss the transformative power of relationships and the importance of humor in marriage. Casey and his wife, Megan, have built a thriving community of over 12,000 couples, helping them navigate the complexities of love and connection through their innovative programs and resources.One of the central themes of our discussion was the role of humor in relationships. Casey highlighted how laughter can serve as a vital communication tool, helping couples tackle difficult topics while maintaining a sense of joy and connection. We delved into the common pitfalls that many couples encounter, such as falling into routines that lead to emotional disconnection. Casey introduced the concept of the "law of one in 60," illustrating how even a small deviation in a couple's trajectory can lead to significant distance over time.As we wrapped up the episode, Casey reminded us that the journey to a better marriage begins with individual growth. He shared the importance of self-awareness and setting healthy boundaries, encouraging listeners to take the first step in their own relationships.IN THIS EPISODE:- (10:28) The Disconnect in Long-Term Relationships- (14:23) Isolation and Loneliness Among Men- (26:02) Understanding Emotional Neglect in Relationships- (30:15) The Power of Curiosity in Relationships- (33:31) The Role of Self-Improvement in Relationship Dynamics- (41:04) The Impact of Vulnerability in RelationshipsRESOURCESCheck out my How to Attract Devoted Masculine Men Masterclass HERE My FREE eBook The Magnetic WomanApp rec: BumbleFeminine Embodiment HERECONNECT WITH CHARLENE On Instagram @mscharlenebyars On YouTube @chosentrainingWork with me HERECONNECT WITH CASEYOn Instagram HEREMarriage365 HERE

Take the first step to balance your hormones naturally with my FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz Which is better for midlife weight loss: Keto? Carnivore? Optavia? It's a question I get asked all the time—especially in the summer, when the pool invites start rolling in… and you'd rather melt in leggings than show up in a swimsuit.

If you've ever tried quitting carbs and sugar only to still feel bloated, inflamed, and stuck at your same weight—this episode is for you.

From the military to tech, sales to social media, and now teaching, my career path has been anything but conventional. Along the way, I've learned invaluable lessons that have shaped my ability to reinvent myself time and time again. Here are 10 key lessons I've learned throughout my journey—from Navy cryptologist to sales leader to educator—and how each experience contributed to my ongoing reinvention.Lesson 1: Sometimes the Most Unlikely Beginnings Lead to the Most Rewarding CareersI started my career in the Navy in 1992, where my job as a cryptologist and delivering messages by hand might not have seemed like the perfect foundation for the corporate world. But it taught me how to handle responsibility, work under pressure, and solve problems—all skills that would serve me throughout my career. From living on a Coast Guard base in the San Francisco Bay area to spending a year in Korea teaching English to a young Korean boy, I learned early on that diverse experiences can provide the foundation for something much bigger.The lesson here? Don't underestimate the value of seemingly unrelated experiences. Every chapter adds a layer to your skills, resilience, and perspective, even if it doesn't immediately seem relevant to where you want to go.Lesson 2: Be Open to Opportunities and Embrace the Learning ProcessAfter moving to Milwaukee in 1996, I started college to become a teacher, but I didn't stop there. I also delivered pizzas and became a peer trainer teaching faculty and students about new technology. Those experiences taught me that no matter your role, you can always learn and grow.What I realized is that even early in your career, the opportunities you take can be just as valuable as the degree or job you're aiming for. The key is to be open, ask questions, and be curious about everything around you.Lesson 3: Don't Be Afraid to Take Risks—Even When It Means Leaving CollegeIn 1998, I made a bold decision. I dropped out of college to pursue a “real job” in tech support, which eventually led to my first sales job selling high-speed internet. At the time, the internet wasn't nearly as fast as we now think of it, and there was a lot of skepticism around the promises we made to customers. But I learned that taking risks and stepping outside my comfort zone would be necessary to continue growing.The lesson here? Calculated risk-taking is vital to career growth. Sometimes, leaving the traditional path can open doors to opportunities that might not be on your radar otherwise.Lesson 4: Show Up and Be Ready to Learn—Even When It's HardBy 2000, I had transitioned into a stockbroker role and was working on a trading team. I was also responsible for teaching others how to use our online trading platform. After 9/11, I realized that technology was my true calling, so I transitioned into IT. Within two years, I earned my first management role, and eventually worked my way up to a VP of IT position.The key takeaway? Show up fully, be ready to learn, and always look for ways to add value. This is how you rise through the ranks and start shaping your own career trajectory.Lesson 5: Leadership is About Stepping Up—Even When You're Not Fully ReadyIn 2003, I finished my degree in computer science and took on a leadership role. About a year later, my manager decided to leave, and I was given the opportunity to lead the team. Even though I wasn't entirely prepared, I stepped up and said yes. That decision was pivotal in my career. It taught me that leadership often comes when you least expect it—and when it does, you need to be willing to take that leap of faith.Sometimes, leadership isn't about having all the answers; it's about being willing to step up and figure it out.Lesson 6: Your Experience and Knowledge Are Valuable—Don't Be Afraid to Share ThemIn 2005, I started my blog, sharing lessons I had learned along the way. I was reading books and consuming other blogs, and I wanted to contribute to the broader conversation. It was a humbling experience, but it also taught me that sharing your expertise—even when you're not a household name yet—can make a huge impact.In 2007, I joined David Zinger to write the Slacker Manager blog, co-authoring content on employee engagement and leadership. This experience taught me the power of collaboration and how sharing knowledge publicly can boost your credibility and open doors.Lesson 7: Self-Belief Is the First Step to Reinvention—Everything Else FollowsIn 2010, I decided to leave my corporate job, something I had been contemplating for years. People doubted I was really going to leave, and many thought I would fail. But I printed business cards, started networking as a consultant, and landed several consulting gigs with small businesses.The key lesson? Self-belief is the foundation of reinvention. When you believe in your ability to solve problems and create value, you can step into new opportunities, even if others doubt you or question your decisions. Your belief in yourself is what will propel you forward.Lesson 8: Clarity of Offer is Key to Digital Leadership and Sales SuccessIn 2013, I worked for a Silicon Valley software company and led the social media strategy. We made three major changes to our product's strategy within 18 months, and as a result, our product didn't sell well. Meanwhile, a more established product with a clear, defined space in the market continued to do well.This taught me that clarity is essential. If your audience doesn't understand what you're offering or why they need it, they won't buy. A clear, consistent message is key to success in sales and leadership.Lesson 9: Tenacity and Simplicity Are Keys to Teaching the UnbelievableIn 2015, I returned to the world of speaking and training, teaching salespeople how to leverage social media. At the time, many people were skeptical about social media as a business tool, and it was up to me to show them its value. I had to simplify complex ideas and be persistent in explaining them until others understood.This experience reinforced the lesson that teaching something new or controversial takes tenacity, courage, and the ability to break down complex ideas into simple, actionable steps. Persistence pays off when you're teaching others to see what they can't yet fully grasp.Lesson 10: Flexibility and Hustle Are Essential for Navigating Life's Unexpected TurnsIn 2022, I joined Bamboo HR in Sales Enablement, but by mid-2023, we moved to Ohio, and I had to give up that role. I pivoted again, working as a substitute teacher while I looked for a full-time position in education.What this taught me was that you have to be flexible when life throws curveballs, and you have to be willing to do whatever it takes to stay true to your goals. Whether it's working a second job to keep things afloat or stepping into a completely different field, staying adaptable and persistent is key to navigating life's unexpected changes.Happiness Practices with Phil Gerbyshak is a reader-supported publication.

From learning to step up as a leader before I felt ready, to teaching and simplifying complex ideas, to staying adaptable and flexible, each lesson has helped me reinvent myself at different stages of my career.The road to reinvention is rarely straight, but if you're willing to embrace these lessons and keep moving forward, you can build a career that's uniquely yours, no matter where you start or where life takes you next.

Problems are often not real problems: According to Lucy Liu, many so-called problems are actually created by our thoughts about neutral events—not the events themselves. Things talked about in this episode:  The first step to solving problems is separating facts from feelings. Facts are neutral; our thoughts give them meaning. Your thoughts create your emotions—not the situation. Clarity comes when you pause, observe your thoughts, and choose new ones.

There are many barriers to our goal of rejuvenating America in a post-Trump world. The first step in this rejuvenation effort is getting a government that works so that we have a solid foundation which can support our efforts. The US congress can't pass a budget, can't manage our finances and can't get important policies approved with a bipartisan consensus. In order to get a government that works we must reform Congress. In this commentary we discuss some of the important reforms needed to set Congress on the right track.

Our recently elected Pope Leo XIV has already made several comments about the dangers of artificial intelligence. So if you want to learn more about A.I., join Fr. Fessio explains the first of four steps of artificial intelligence—pretraining—which requires data to be collected and tokenization.

It's time to continue our journey...In episode 1 of the Journey Management Playbook we pinpointed a key business challenge that we want to tackle. The focus of episode 2 was all about gathering qualitative and quantitative data to understand the 'what' and the 'why'.But now comes the big question: How do you transform all that valuable material into clear insights and identify the opportunities that will actually make a tangible impact, fast? Where should you even start to make sense of it all and prioritize your efforts?This is where the rubber meets the road, and it's exactly what we address in episode 3. We're diving into the crucial first steps of structuring and scoping. Just like in the past episodes, we're joined again by Tingting Lin from TheyDo, who shows us how to take our raw data and, with AI as our powerful co-pilot, quickly generate an initial, structured journey map.This episode helps you understand how to:Take your raw qualitative data (like survey responses or interview notes) and use AI to generate an initial, structured customer journey mapBegin making sense of AI-generated insights by understanding different insight types and how to initially prioritize them.Enrich an existing journey structure with new data using AI, effectively showing how to augment prior work with fresh insights.Our goal with this whole series is to help you use journey management to make tangible impact faster, and as you'll see AI is a great tool to accelerate this process.Important Note: This episode features a lot of screen sharing as we build a journey live inside TheyDo. So to get the most out of it, I highly recommend watching the video version on YouTube or having the accompanying slides (link in the show notes) handy if you're listening to the podcast edition.Enjoy and keep driving that positive change.~ Marc[ RESOURCES ]Playbook Slides - https://go.servicedesignshow.com/0nz_4Sign up for TheyDo - https://www.theydo.com[ GUIDE ]00:00 Episode 3: What to Expect02:30 Introducing Theydo & Tingting's06:00 The Big Picture07:30 Episode 2 Recap08:30 Offboarding Sources09:30 The Goodbye Email Data12:00 Working with Unstructured Data13:30 Miro Board: Structuring Insights14:30 First Step in Journey Management15:00 Generating a Journey with AI18:00 Starting a New Journey in Theydo20:00 AI-Generated Journey from Scratch23:00 Enriching an Existing Journey31:00 Blank Slate36:00 Collaborating with AI: Verifying Insights42:00 Check Mapped Insights46:00 Workspace Insights Overview49:00 3 Ways Prioritizing Verification50:00 Prioritizing with Pain, Gain & Observations51:30 Starting with Pain Points1:04:00 Bonus Questions from Previous Episode[ RSS LINKS ]

The Robyn Engelson Podcast  Ever wish you had a life mentor with over decades of experience whispering million dollar wellness tips in your ear? That's exactly what you will get each week when you tune into The Robyn Engelson Podcast. I'm your host–a sought after burnout recovery coach for high-achieving women and help you heal from burnout and survival mode - so you can reclaim your energy, joy, and rediscover your voice. Each week, I bring you inspiring guests, insights, and tools to empower you to be energized, compress time, and start living instead of existing.   Episode Title: Breaking the Chains of Workplace Toxicity Host: Robyn Engelson Guest: Kaitlyn Rios Episode Summary: In this empowering episode, Kaitlyn Rios, Doctor of Physical Therapy, Board-Certified Wound Specialist, VP of Clinical Business Development, and founder of Faced with Grace, joins the podcast to tackle the difficult yet critical topic of workplace toxicity. Kaitlyn and the host explore how toxicity can range from obvious bullying to subtle microaggressions, and how these behaviors, when left unaddressed, lead to burnout and emotional harm. Through personal stories and professional insights, Kaitlyn outlines a three-step process for breaking the chains of toxicity: recognizing and naming it, assessing if it can change, and modeling positive leadership if staying. She shares her nonprofit's mission to mentor and empower women navigating toxic work environments and introduces the PEARL Leadership framework: Presence, Empathy, Accountability, Resilience, and Legacy, as a path to healthier, more sustainable leadership. Listeners will walk away with practical tools, emotional validation, and renewed confidence to prioritize self-care, speak up, and either influence change or make the brave choice to walk away. This episode is a must for anyone facing challenges in their professional environment   You'll learn: What Workplace Toxicity Really Looks Like Understand how toxic environments can range from blatant abuse to subtle microaggressions, and why both are equally harmful. How to Recognize and Respond to Toxic Work Culture Learn Kaitlyn's three-step method for identifying toxicity, evaluating your options, and taking courageous action. Why Burnout Isn't a Badge of Honor Explore the dangers of glorifying burnout and discover the importance of pausing, reflecting, and choosing sustainability over hustle. The Power of Self-Awareness and Emotional Intelligence See how tuning into your emotions and boundaries can protect your wellbeing and guide better decisions at work. How to Lead Without a Title Discover how influence, not position, shapes culture, and how you can model healthy leadership wherever you are. Kaitlyn's PEARL Framework for Healthy Leadership Learn how Presence, Empathy, Accountability, Resilience, and Legacy can transform both your leadership style and your workplace. Why Naming the Problem is the First Step to Healing Break the silence: find out why calling out toxicity is key to dismantling it and creating space for real change. How to Empower Yourself and Others Through Mentorship Hear how Kaitlyn's nonprofit Faced with Grace supports women in navigating or escaping toxic environments with courage and grace.   Memorable Quotes:  "Toxicity thrives in silence, naming it is the first step toward freedom."  "You don't need a title to lead. True leadership starts with how you show up every day." "Burnout isn't a weakness, it's a signal. Listen, pause, and realign with your purpose."  "Your peace is worth more than any paycheck. Sometimes the bravest move is walking away."  "Resilient leadership isn't about being tough, it's about knowing your limits and leading with grace."   Resources & Mentions: Nonprofit Organization: Faced with Grace – Empowering women to rise above workplace toxicity through mentorship, education, and community. Leadership Framework: PEARL Leadership – Kaitlyn's model for healthy, sustainable leadership: Presence, Empathy, Accountability, Resilience, Legacy Professional Titles: Doctor of Physical Therapy | Board-Certified Wound Specialist | VP of Clinical Business Development   Actionable Steps for Listeners: 1. Identify the Source of Toxicity Take a moment to reflect on your current work environment. Ask yourself: “Is the stress I'm feeling caused by a person, a team, or the overall culture?” Write down 2-3 recurring behaviors or patterns that negatively impact your well-being. 2. Speak Up or Step Away If you feel safe, report the issue to HR or a trusted leader. If not, start planning an exit strategy that protects your peace and future growth. Remember: leaving a toxic environment is an act of strength, not failure. 3. Model Healthy Leadership (Even Without a Title) Lead by example. Practice Kaitlyn's PEARL values: Presence, Empathy, Accountability, Resilience, and Legacy. Start by choosing one to focus on in your interactions this week. 4. Create a “Pause Plan” to Avoid Burnout Schedule time daily or weekly to step back and reflect. Ask: “What drains me? What energizes me?” Use these insights to adjust your workload, set boundaries, or seek support. 5. Join a Support Network or Mentorship Program Seek out or create a safe space (like a women's leadership group or peer support circle). Consider getting involved with organizations like Faced with Grace to connect with others navigating similar challenges. 6. Rewrite Your Workplace Story Visualize a healthier, purpose-driven work life. Write down: “I'm so grateful I now work in a place where I feel respected, supported, and valued.” Act in alignment with that version of your future self, whether it's through learning, networking, or setting new boundaries.   Final Thought: You deserve a workplace that uplifts you, not drains you. Healing begins the moment you name what's hurting and take steps to protect your peace. Leadership isn't just about changing others, it starts with choosing yourself. Whether you stay, speak up, or walk away, your courage creates space for transformation. The time to reclaim your voice is now.   What listeners have to say: Kaitlyn Rios' episode has been a wake-up call for professionals across industries, employees, leaders, and change-makers alike. Monica D., a healthcare administrator, shared how naming the toxic behaviors on her team gave her the clarity to start difficult (but necessary) conversations with leadership. Andre M., a tech team lead, said Kaitlyn's PEARL framework helped him shift his leadership style from reactive to resilient, improving both morale and performance on his team. Lisa K., a burned-out marketing executive, finally gave herself permission to leave a toxic role after hearing Kaitlyn's reminder: “Your peace is worth more than any paycheck.” These breakthroughs remind us that healing, growth, and positive change are possible, especially when courage meets clarity. Now it's your turn: What moment, quote, or takeaway from Kaitlyn's story is helping you lead or live differently?

Faith and Neuroscience: A Holistic Approach to Living with Intention Faith and neuroscience together form a robust framework for navigating life's challenges with clarity and purpose. In a world obsessed with speed and constant motion, we often race through life without noticing what's really happening inside ourselves. But lasting growth doesn't come through hustle—it begins when we slow down, become aware, and invite God into the process. Through honest reflection and emotional awareness, we create space for real, Kingdom-aligned transformation. Where Faith and Neuroscience Meet Faith and neuroscience don't compete—they complement each other. Neuroscience reveals how the brain functions, while faith offers a spiritual framework for renewal. Science reveals the process; Scripture defines the purpose. Together, they remind us that God designed us with intention, both biologically and spiritually. When we understand our thought patterns, emotions, and habits, we can align them more closely with God's truth. As Scripture says, “You are known by your fruit.” This level of awareness helps us evaluate not just our actions but the outcomes they produce—peace or burnout, connection or isolation, growth or stagnation. The Power of Pause: Slowing Down to See Clearly Speed often blocks transformation. We rush from one task to the next and drift off course without even realizing it. When we don't slow down, we miss the opportunity to check in with ourselves and with God. But pausing isn't a weakness—it's wisdom. Stillness creates the space for clarity, and clarity opens the door to lasting change. The “S” in the STEM model (which explores the interaction between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors) stands for “Seen”—what others and we ourselves can observe. But what's visible only scratches the surface. True growth requires digging deeper—examining our motivations, fears, and deeply held beliefs. Awareness is the First Step to Change Healing starts with honesty. We can't change what we refuse to acknowledge. That's why honesty is kindness—even when it feels uncomfortable. Naming what's real—your stress, frustration, sadness, or confusion—opens the door to healing and wholeness. About Heather Shriver Burns Heather is a former classroom teacher, turned corporate executive, and now entrepreneur. After building multiple 6-, 7-, and 8-figure businesses, she realized something was missing—she was successful by the world's standards, but she was stressed out. She knew God didn't give her an assignment to stress her out. So she redefined success with God and has been building her business with peace and purpose. Now, she helps ambitious Christian women stop striving for success and start seeking God's guidance to co-labor with Him in every area of life.

Take the first step to balance your hormones naturally with my FREE Hormone Symptom Profile Assessment: https://bit.ly/takemyhormonequiz You're eating like a bird, but still can't button your jeans.:< If skipping snacks, counting macros, or cutting carbs is supposed to help us lose weight…why does it feel like nothing is changing, even when you do? Here's the truth: so many of us in midlife are undereating, overstressed, and totally confused why we're gaining weight on fewer calories than a toddler snack pack. But weight gain in perimenopause isn't about willpower—it's about hormones. Because once estrogen starts to drop, perimenopause metabolism changes too—and the weight loss playbook that worked in our 20s and 30s no longer does. In today's episode, Are You Eating Enough? 3 Ways Eating Less Backfires in Perimenopause, I'm breaking down the connection between hormonal weight gain, blood sugar spikes, and why traditional diet rules are failing women over 40. In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ How does blood sugar affect weight gain in perimenopause? ✅ Can under-eating lead to weight gain in midlife? ✅ How many calories should a woman over 40 eat to lose weight? ✅ Does eating too little cause weight gain in perimenopause? ✅ What is the connection between insulin resistance and menopause? ✅ Does cortisol contribute to belly fat in midlife women? ✅ How do stress and cortisol levels impact weight gain during menopause? ✅ Do hormonal changes affect appetite after 40? If you've ever said, “But I'm barely eating—why am I gaining weight?”or skipping meals to “save calories” (and ending up face-first in the pantry!)—this episode is for you.

I imagine you and I are similar in many ways. When creating my editorial calendar, I try to craft a broader narrative of the design and architecture industry. I view this show as a time capsule being both created and consumed in real time. But if you go back and listen to episodes from 2013 when this podcast was started until now, you will discover an illustrative exposition that both narrates in real time and looking forward to demonstrate where the industry is going by examining where we are. It's a futuristic approach to the built environment. To be transparent with you, that is the part I enjoy most. Every now and then, like the impact of a meteor, something happens to make us all think about the industry as we know it. As we approach the work. These days, it feels like we are experiencing an unending barrage of meteor strikes which is turning our industry upside down. And, believe it or not, I'm not even talking about tariffs, government chaos, wildfires or the supply chain! Designer Resources Pacific Sales Kitchen and Home. Where excellence meets expertise.

In 2018, you might have heard a conversation I published from the LA Design Festival on the topic of intellectual property rights, IP law and how it was affecting the industry. In the following episode, I will be introducing you to Andrew McBride, Partner @ Adams & Reese and Carter Pope, Associate @ Adams & Reese. I found Andrew and Carter while on a journey of exploration, there is a case moving it's way through the legal system called Aaron and Samantha Judge v. Drew Designs, LLC. This is a case about a design relationship gone wrong rife with communication issues, contract issues and a litany of other things that make for a messy professional relationship that winds up in the courts. McBride and Pope authored an article called, “Hidden Ball Trick” - Yankees' Aaron Judge Case Involving Deception Carries Lessons for Contractors.  I've added a link in the show notes and I highly recommend this for contractors, architects and designers. The following conversation covers a number of issues that led to both parties winding up in court and as you are going to hear, much if not all of this could have been avoided. In addition to this case, we also explore, the Judd Foundation v. Clements Design, Inc. in a case that will surely affect the future of dupes as well as another case winding it's way through the courts like a medieval knight moving through the digestive tract of a money guzzling dragon, Gifford v. Sheil. Perhaps the metaphor is too graphic, I'll rethink that one. But it fits. The law is a complicated knot of ideas and it seems to me the best way to avoid legal entanglements is to do good business in the first place and when disagreements come up, and they will, you work hard to find common ground and squash it. And this is why. You will hear the whole conversation with Andrew McBride and Carter Pope of Adams & Reese, right after this. Thank you, Andrew and Carter. Enlightening.

If you want to get leaner and live longer, check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/   What if your low energy, brain fog, or poor sleep had more to do with your hormones than you realize?   In this episode, I sat down with Patricia Zamora, a nurse practitioner who helps men improve their health through hormone balance. We talked about how to raise testosterone naturally, when TRT might be a good option, and why some men still don't feel great even if their lab numbers look normal.   Patricia shared why cardio is key for overall health, especially if you're on testosterone. We also covered how medications like Clomid and Enclomiphene work, and why many regular doctors aren't fully trained in hormone therapy.   We wrapped up with simple habits that can make a big difference, like walking more and slowing down with breathing or mindfulness. If you've been feeling off and want to get back to feeling like yourself, this episode is a great place to start.   Key Takeaways:    TRT Isn't Always the First Step.   Most doctors aren't trained in hormone therapy. Don't assume your GP is an expert.   Hormone issues affect both partners. Couples should learn and work through it together.   Resources:    Patricia Zamora is a men's health nurse practitioner who focuses on hormone optimization, testosterone therapy, and sexual wellness. With a passion for education and practical solutions, she helps men understand how lifestyle, stress, and medical care affect their hormones and overall health. Patricia also emphasizes the importance of cardio, mindfulness, and clear communication in relationships for long-term well-being.   Patricia Zamora's Website thepatriciazamora.com   @themenshealthnp (IG)  https://www.instagram.com/themenshealthnp    YouTube Channel https://www.youtube.com/@themenshealthnp  _________________________________________ Host Nate Palmer The founder of The Million Dollar Body and Author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been in the industry of coaching over 15 years and has worked with over 1000 clients personally.
