Father Rob speaks with Father Paul Sullins, a sociologist and Senior Research Associate at the Ruth Institute, about a groundbreaking re-analysis of the controversial 2012 Regnerus study on same-sex parenting. Father Sullins explains how researchers recently applied a “multiverse of analysis” approach—running over 2 million statistical permutations—to the original dataset. Their goal was to debunk the study, but instead, they found overwhelming confirmation: in every model, children raised by same-sex parents consistently fared worse than those raised by a married mother and father. Father Sullins discusses how this re-analysis not only validates the original study's findings but also highlights the deep ideological bias in academia, where research that supports traditional family structures is often suppressed or ignored. He recounts how journals have retracted studies under activist pressure and how scholars who challenge the dominant narrative face professional retaliation. The conversation also touches on broader implications: the Catholic Church's understanding of the human person, the erosion of academic freedom, and the potential legal and cultural consequences, especially regarding adoption laws and same-sex marriage rulings. Despite the challenges, Father Sullins sees signs of hope, including honest scholars beginning to push back against ideological censorship. Together, the two priests explore how faith and honest science converge, reinforcing timeless truths about family, parenting, and the well-being of children.    

Welcome to Salon Tech Talks, a 10-part series featuring conversations with innovators and leaders in the pro beauty tech space. In this episode, Gordon is joined by Meevo/Millennium Systems founder and chairman John Harms. At the age of just 16, John founded Millennium Systems (known today as Meevo), working part-time for the salon his hairdresser sister called home. Over the course of the last 37 years, John has been an innovator as well as a witness to the evolution of how salons and pros conduct 'business'. John shares insights into the innovations most likely to revolutionize salons in the near future — and how to make smarter tech choices today to get ready for what's coming next.

Jon looks at the local story of questionable teachings to 3rd grade children. Gubernatorial candidate Kendal Qualls joins to offer his thoughts on the education controversy and Gov. Walz's spending for legal counseling. Jon covers the probe into diversity hiring.

Email us: Will@faithfulpoliticspodcast.comIn 1954, white Southern churches declared that school integration “defied God's design.” Seven decades later, many of those congregations champion “color-blindness” instead. What changed—and what hasn't? Historian Rusty Hawkins (Indiana Wesleyan University), co-editor of The Bible Told Them So: How Southern Evangelicals Fought to Preserve White Supremacy, joins Faithful Politics to trace the theological through-line from Jim Crow sermons to modern debates over CRT and DEI. Hawkins explains how pastors and laypeople alike used Scripture to sanctify segregation, then re-branded the same resistance as a fight for “quality education” and “parental choice.” He also argues that today's church can still become a force for racial reconciliation—if it learns from the prophetic witness of the Black church and rejects power for service. Whether you're a pastor, activist, or history buff, this conversation equips you with the receipts—and the hope—to confront racism's religious roots.Guest BioRusty Hawkins is Associate Professor of History at Indiana Wesleyan University, specializing in American religion and race. He co-edited the award-winning The Bible Told Them So and is currently writing a religious biography of Alabama Governor George Wallace. Hawkins's scholarship appears in Christianity Today, the Journal of Southern Religion, and other outlets, making him a leading voice on how evangelical theology has shaped—and been shaped by—America's color line.

Between annual targets and cost-focused KPIs, procurement leaders find themselves in an impossible bind when it comes to decarbonization: they know sustainability matters, yet the very incentive structures designed to reward their performance actively undermine their decarbonization efforts.  In this episode, co-hosts Rich Ham and Philip Ideson speak with Martin Chilcott, Founder and CEO of 2 Degrees Limited and Founder of Manufacture 2030, to explore how procurement incentives could rapidly accelerate corporate decarbonization.  Martin works with global corporations across manufacturing, pharmaceuticals, and automotive industries, and he's seen firsthand how carbon strategies succeed or stall based on the commercial relationship between procurement and their suppliers. Martin points out an important truth that many procurement leaders understand but struggle to quantify: "Carbon costs exist right now, even if they don't appear on your budget line." He shared concrete examples like Panama Canal disruptions and cocoa price hikes, with climate disruptions already impacting business financials.  The problem, he says, isn't awareness, but short-termism and narrow financial definitions that discourage investment. As Martin says, "If reducing emissions isn't explicitly worth the effort financially, suppliers won't make the effort." The way forward requires fundamental changes to how procurement defines value. By reframing total cost of ownership to explicitly include carbon, implementing longer-term contracts with carbon reduction targets, and building targeted supplier incentives, procurement can make decarbonization both profitable and achievable.   Links: Martin Chilcott on LinkedIn   Rich Ham on LinkedIn Learn more at FineTuneUs.com

In this special replay episode, Rob Port and Chad Oban revisit a timely conversation with former North Dakota Republican Party Chair Bob Harms. With infighting and censures making headlines again, Harms' perspective on internal party dynamics, district-level power struggles, and the long-term risks to the GOP brand hits even harder today. The discussion dives into how party rules, legislative overreach, and local gamesmanship are discouraging participation and undermining transparency. Harms also shares his concerns about property tax reform, the future of the Legacy Fund, and what happens when politics becomes more about power than principle.

Today, we're kicking off our summer bonus episodes with a little ode to sidewalk art installations! We're not just talking about little free libraries (though those are awesome!) we're talking about the weird, wild and creative ways people express themselves and spread joy through artistic, playful, interactive installations on their sidewalks, stoops and fences, and the unique, important role these little joy blips have in building stronger communities.I first stumbled across the PDX Dinorama Instagram account, run by Portland's Rachael Harms Malant, during the pandemic. The account didn't just promote the little Dinorama she built in front of her house, it was more like a record of all the little fun and funky sidewalk installations that are speckled around the city. From PDX Sidewalk Ducks to a 6-hole golf course that someone built in their front yard, the installations Rachael was highlighting on her account went way above and beyond anything I'd seen, and with little kids to get out of the house and little money to spend, I was so grateful for every last one of them. I've been wanting to have her on the show for ages to talk about her passion for these little expressions of joy and welcome that pepper our city (and are popping up around the world now), and I am so thrilled to have her episode kick off some summer MOFITA fun.Chatting with Rachael was seriously heart-warming summer fun, and we hope you'll tune in! In in the episode, she shares tips for creating your own little sidewalk joy invitation, and she has tons of examples and tutorials on her Instagram page, too. But, all you really need to do to get inspired is head outside on a walk, especially if you're lucky enough to live in a town with folks on the sidewalk joy map. As Rachael explains in the episode: “People are craving community, and community is — and is going to continue to be — so very important for all of us. So this kind of connecting and sharing that Sidewalk Joy helps promote in different communities is going to continue to be vital.”If you walk around your neighborhood and don't see any little mini-fig galleries, dinoramas or take-a-car-leave-a-cars, maybe your could be the first!

In this episode, Kimberly and Alex discuss his extensive background in working with children on the Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD). He spent much of those years taking a non-traditional approach from just behavioral to prioritizing fun and community. This work led him to keenly understanding the importance of local agriculture, nutrition, and the gut-brain connection, and eventually he began working as an animal butcher and supporting his wife's work, The Wild Nutritionist. Aspects of their discussion are connected through the thread of the importance of holistic care for ASD individuals as well as local farming, nutrition, and the gut-brain connection.   Bio Alex Johnson is a father, butcher, former autism specialist, husband of Kate Pope, The Wild Nutritionist, and long-term friend of Kimberly's.

In this episode, Therese Markow and Dr. Cheryl Hawkes discuss the increasing scientific evidence that maternal obesity affects the developing fetal brain.  While many of the effects manifest early, in infant temperament and childhood cognitive (IQ) decrements, other effects do not show up until years later, in adult psychiatric and neurodegenerative problems.  The physical bases for these changes in fetal brains are also clearly evidenced in laboratory model systems, such as mice, where the maternal diets can be controlled, and the offspring not only can be given behavioral tests, but their brains can be dissected to reveal the changes in the blood vessels caused by obese mothers.    Key Takeaways: Children born to obese mothers have lower IQs and poorer motor, spatial, and verbal skills. Mice and rodents have similar brain development to humans, which is why rodent study models are so beneficial to science. Brain maturation takes many years. Your brain is fully formed at birth, but continues to mature and change into your mid-twenties.   "Because of the rise in obesity globally, a lot of people have started to look, rather than looking at famine…, to now shift our attention to looking at the long-term effects of obesity because 30% of women around the world, over the age of 18, are now considered to be obese." —  Dr. Cheryl Hawkes   Connect with Dr. Cheryl Hawkes:  Lancaster University Profile: Dr. Cheryl Hawkes     Connect with Therese: Website: www.criticallyspeaking.net Threads: @critically_speaking Email: theresemarkow@criticallyspeaking.net   Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

The beauty of the Scottish islands in the UK is world-renowned. The unspoiled nature of the islands is what draws many tourists here, but for some locals on Shetland, the sheer weight of visitors is beginning to take a toll. It's putting pressure on local services such as transport and leaving residents unable to access other amenities. Many are fully aware of the financial benefits the visitors from the cruise ships bring, but it's a double-edged sword. The ships are a constant presence, and residents believe a balance needs to be struck. The Scottish government says it's considering giving local councils the powers to impose a levy on cruise ships after a consultation with the industry and other stakeholders, to maintain local infrastructure. A quick poll of people near the port of Lerwick, the main town for the Shetland Islands, shows there is support for a levy. Although the ships arriving here vary in size, some anchored in Lerwick Harbour carry 3,000 passengers, that's almost half the town's population. Local businesses say the tourists have disadvantages as well as financial benefits. Ross Manson, No88 Kitchen and Bar owner, says local customers are often deterred from coming to his restaurant because they think they won't be able to get in because of visitors from the cruise ships. He says, “... a lot of people don't come into town on cruise boat days. So if you don't have cruise booked passengers eating in the restaurant, then you're absolutely dead.” Other businesses say they're able to expand and offer services off-season because of dependable cash brought in by tourists from the cruise ships. Captain Calum Grains, the Chief Executive of the Lerwick Port Authority, says there is concern that a levy will deter ships from stopping at the island. Grains believes a levy might also convince operators to reduce the number of Scottish island ports they stop at. He also says if the cruise ships pass on the cost to passengers, they might be put off visiting altogether, impacting the industry as a whole. This article was provided by The Associated Press.

Sometimes, coaches like us hold ourselves back because we think our 'inherent flaws' are unchangeable barriers to success. In today's episode, I explore why we tend to blame ourselves when things aren't working in our coaching business and how this self-blame creates a self-fulfilling prophecy that keeps us stuck.   You'll discover a powerful reframe question that helps break this self-blame cycle, along with specific examples from my clients who have transformed their businesses by embracing their perceived flaws as strengths. I'll also share practical ways to redirect your thinking when self-blame arises so you can embrace your authentic self in your coaching practice.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://www.lindsaydotzlafcoaching.com/241

My guest is Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Professor Emeritus of Health Policy at Stanford University. We discuss which scientific questions ought to be the priority for NIH, how to incentivize bold, innovative science especially from younger labs, how to solve the replication crisis and restore trust and transparency in science and public health, including acknowledging prior failures by the NIH. We discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and the data and sociological factors that motivated lockdowns, masking and vaccine mandates. Dr. Bhattacharya shares his views on how to resolve the vaccine–autism debate and how best to find the causes and cures for autism and chronic diseases. The topics we cover impact everyone: male, female, young and old and, given that NIH is the premier research and public health organization in the world, extend to Americans and non-Americans alike.

In this episode of Quality Talks With Peggy O'Kane, NCQA President Peggy O'Kane sits down with Dr. Rita Redberg, a cardiology pioneer and fierce advocate for evidence-based care. Dr. Redberg, who famously served as Editor-in-Chief of JAMA Internal Medicine for 14 years, shares her "Less is More" philosophy — a perspective that challenges the view that "more" care is always better.Join Peggy and Rita as they explore:The Problem with "More": Why a health care culture focused on technology and volume over patient needs leads to runaway costs and poor results.The Stent Story: How a widely adopted procedure in cardiology gained traction without initial evidence of patient benefit, and the uphill battle to integrate rigorous clinical trials.Mary Caldwell's Odyssey: A cautionary tale illustrating the dangerous cascade of unnecessary testing and interventions, based on a desire for reassurance rather than clinical need.Re-evaluating Statins: Rita's unconventional view on the use of statins in asymptomatic people. She advocates lifestyle changes over medication when the evidence of benefit is thin.Rebuilding Trust: How the fee-for-service payment model erodes the patient-doctor relationship and how regulatory reforms can shift incentives towards patient wellbeing.Rita reminds us that health care quality isn't about more tests or interventions. It's about thoughtful, patient-centered decisions and a commitment to "first, do no harm." This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about improving health outcomes and reducing waste in health care.Key Quote:Most statins are prescribed for people that have not already had a heart attack or have established coronary disease. In that higher risk group, there is some benefit to taking statins. It's not huge but there is some benefit.But most people I see, and most people taking statins, are not in that category. They're healthy people that want to prevent a heart attack and want to live longer. They definitely are not going to feel better. Rita Redberg, MDTime Stamps:(02:09) Misconceptions in Medicine(10:01) Mary Caldwell: A Cautionary Tale(13:35) Choosing Wisely Campaign: A Step Towards Better Care(16:32) Debating the Use of Statins(21:31) Trust, Incentives and the High Cost of US Care(27:05) Technology, Teams and Trust Links:JAMA Internal Medicine “Less is More”Choosing WiselyConnect with Rita

Episode 196: The Amish are often portrayed as paragons of simplicity, faith and hard work — living peacefully in the countryside, growing food without chemicals and raising barns as a community. In an era of rapid change and digital burnout, their lifestyle can seem idyllic, even enviable. But are we overlooking serious ethical concerns in favor of nostalgia? Hosts Scott Rada and Rick Kyte explore why Americans tend to romanticize the Amish while ignoring the costs experienced by many within those communities. The conversation begins with a moment of contrast: a social media post condemning a retailer’s retreat from diversity initiatives followed immediately by another celebrating Amish businesses as wholesome alternatives. That tension — between modern values and traditional practices — drives the discussion forward. Together, the hosts dive into issues often absent from mainstream depictions of Amish life: restricted educational access, lack of medical care, gender inequality and the practice of shunning those who choose to leave. At the same time, they acknowledge the benefits that come with strong social ties and belonging — qualities that many modern communities struggle to maintain. Throughout the discussion, Rada challenges whether we give the Amish a pass simply because their lifestyle appears peaceful or quaint, while Kyte urges listeners to consider what broader society might learn from their sense of purpose and interdependence. It’s a back-and-forth that wrestles with fairness, freedom and the limits of tolerance.

This Day in Legal History: SCOTUS Upholds CFPB Funding StructureOn May 16, 2024, the U.S. Supreme Court delivered a major ruling in Consumer Financial Protection Bureau v. Community Financial Services Association of America, Ltd., upholding the constitutionality of the CFPB's funding structure. In a 7–2 decision, the Court held that the agency's funding—drawn from the Federal Reserve and not subject to annual congressional appropriations—does not violate the Appropriations Clause of the Constitution. Writing for the majority, Chief Justice Roberts emphasized that the Constitution permits flexibility in funding mechanisms so long as they are authorized by law and subject to congressional oversight in some form. The ruling affirmed the CFPB's continued ability to regulate financial institutions and enforce consumer protection laws independent of Congress's annual budget process.The decision marked a significant moment in the Court's treatment of agency independence, particularly at a time of renewed scrutiny of the administrative state. It was widely seen as a victory for supporters of the CFPB, which had faced ongoing legal and political challenges since its creation under the Dodd-Frank Act in the aftermath of the 2008 financial crisis. However, the case also highlighted the growing skepticism among certain justices—and lawmakers—about the breadth of agency power and accountability.Just one year later, the CFPB's future is again uncertain. With a new administration openly hostile to the agency and legislative efforts underway to curtail its authority or restructure its funding, the May 2024 decision is already being treated as legal history. Though the Court upheld the agency's funding, the political battle over the CFPB continues, casting doubt on how long the victory will stand.Intel appeared before the EU General Court to contest a €376 million ($421.4 million) antitrust fine reimposed by the European Commission. The fine stems from the Commission's 2009 decision, which originally imposed a record €1.06 billion penalty for Intel's actions that allegedly excluded rival AMD from the market. Though the General Court overturned the majority of that decision in 2022, it upheld a portion related to so-called “naked restrictions”—payments Intel made to HP, Acer, and Lenovo to delay or halt rival products between 2002 and 2006.Intel's lawyer argued that the violations were narrow and tactical, not part of a broader strategy to shut out competitors from the x86 chip market. He claimed the Commission failed to weigh the limited impact of those actions and imposed a disproportionate and unfair fine. The Commission countered that the fine followed established guidelines and represented only a small fraction of Intel's turnover, asserting that the penalty was appropriate for the seriousness of the conduct.Both sides asked the court to settle the matter by determining the appropriate fine amount. A decision is expected in the coming months.Intel spars with EU regulators over $421.4 million antitrust fine | ReutersA federal appeals court in Washington, D.C., heard arguments in a case that could redefine the U.S. president's authority to remove officials from independent federal agencies. The Trump administration is appealing two lower court decisions that reinstated Democratic officials Cathy Harris to the Merit Systems Protection Board and Gwynne Wilcox to the National Labor Relations Board (NLRB) after President Trump removed them without cause earlier this year. Both boards, which handle labor disputes and federal employee appeals, were left effectively inoperable due to vacancies, with thousands of pending cases.The administration argues that statutory protections limiting removals to “cause” violate the president's constitutional authority to control the executive branch. Trump's legal team claims that these agencies exercise substantial executive power and therefore should not be shielded from presidential oversight. The case may hinge on Humphrey's Executor, a 1935 Supreme Court decision that upheld removal protections for members of independent commissions like the Federal Trade Commission. Conservative judges—including two Trump appointees on the panel—have recently questioned the decision's reach.If the D.C. Circuit sides with Trump, it could pave the way for a broader dismantling of long-standing removal protections across federal agencies. Legal scholars warn that such a move could give the president far-reaching power to reshape regulatory policy by purging officials who don't align with the administration's agenda. The case could ultimately reach the U.S. Supreme Court and lead to a narrowing or overruling of Humphrey's Executor.US court to weigh Trump's powers to fire Democrats from federal agencies | ReutersData obtained through a public records request reveals that recent buyouts at the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) have significantly reduced staffing in key divisions. The legal, investment management, and trading and markets offices experienced workforce cuts ranging from 15% to 19% over just a few weeks. Regional offices in Chicago and Denver also saw nearly 20% reductions. Overall, the SEC's full-time staff has shrunk by 12% since January, with agency chair Paul Atkins recently noting a 15% decrease since October.These losses come amid ongoing hiring freezes and budget restrictions. While Atkins suggested that some roles may be refilled, he did not dismiss the possibility of more cuts. In parallel, more than 20 SEC employees have been reassigned to focus on contract reviews, part of a broader cost-cutting initiative coordinated with the Department of Government Efficiency (DGE), led by Elon Musk. DGE has expanded its presence at SEC headquarters and is reviewing agency operations, particularly IT services, to identify further savings.The SEC declined to comment on the staffing reductions, though a spokesperson confirmed it is working with DGE to improve efficiency. The full implications of these staffing losses for the agency's regulatory functions remain unclear.SEC buyouts hit legal, investment offices hardest, data shows | ReutersMeta Platforms asked a federal judge to dismiss the Federal Trade Commission's antitrust lawsuit, arguing the agency failed to prove that the company holds an illegal monopoly in social media. The case, which centers on Meta's acquisitions of Instagram and WhatsApp, claims these deals were aimed at neutralizing potential rivals and maintaining dominance in the market for apps used to share personal updates. The FTC wants to unwind those acquisitions, made more than a decade ago.Meta contends the FTC's case falls short of demonstrating that WhatsApp and Instagram posed meaningful competitive threats at the time of acquisition. The company pointed to internal evidence suggesting WhatsApp had no ambitions to become a social media platform and that Instagram actually thrived post-acquisition. Meta also argued the FTC has not clearly defined the relevant market, especially given competition from platforms like TikTok, YouTube, Reddit, and X (formerly Twitter), which Meta says all compete for user attention.The company maintains that its products face constant pressure to evolve in response to competitors. If the judge denies Meta's request to end the case now, the trial will continue through June with closing arguments and final briefs expected afterward. A ruling that Meta holds an illegal monopoly would trigger a second trial focused on potential remedies.Meta asks judge to rule that FTC failed to prove its monopoly case | ReutersThis week's closing theme is the second movement of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1, titled “Kräftig bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell. Recht gemächlich”, which translates roughly to “Strongly moving, but not too fast. Quite leisurely.” Composed in the late 1880s and premiered in 1889, Mahler's First Symphony marked his audacious entry into the world of symphonic writing. At once expansive and deeply personal, the work fuses Romantic tradition with the beginnings of Mahler's own, modern voice.The second movement—our focus this week—is a rustic Ländler, an Austrian folk dance form, reimagined with orchestral power and emotional complexity. Mahler, who was born in 1860 in what is now the Czech Republic, grew up surrounded by folk tunes and military marches, and these influences saturate this section of the symphony. It opens with swagger and energy, driven by bold rhythms and a sense of physicality, before softening into a slower trio section that offers brief lyrical repose.Though the movement has a lively surface, its contrasting moods reflect Mahler's signature ability to intertwine the playful and the profound. His orchestration here is vivid but never ornamental—every detail serves a dramatic or emotional purpose. Mahler's symphonies often contemplate mortality, memory, and transcendence, but this movement reminds us that he could also be joyful, ironic, and grounded in the sounds of real life.By the time of his death in 1911, Mahler had transformed the symphony into a vessel for existential expression, bridging the 19th and 20th centuries. This movement from his First hints at all that was to come. As our week closes, we leave you with this music—bold, earthy, and unmistakably Mahler.Without further ado, Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 1, titled “Kräftig bewegt, doch nicht zu schnell. Recht gemächlich.” This is a public episode. If you'd like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit www.minimumcomp.com/subscribe

Twenty-five years after co-founding Corporate United, the first indirect GPO in the United States, David McCarty points out an inconvenient truth: the very tools procurement once developed to leverage spend are no longer as effective in today's supplier-dominated landscape. In this episode of "Buy: The Way…To Purposeful Procurement," David joins co-hosts Philip Ideson and Rich Ham to discuss the evolution of Group Purchasing Organizations (GPOs), from their early promises of dramatic savings (15-30% back in the early 2000s) to their current state, where GPOs are much more limited in their ability to determine and optimize spend.  With refreshing candor and a healthy dose of optimism about today's forward-thinking GPO leaders, David confirms what many procurement leaders have long suspected: most GPOs are less effective today than when they were founded, partly because they've become a kind of checkbox solution that gives procurement a "false sense of security" rather than a true route to optimized expense management.  For procurement leaders who are worried that their suppliers might be gaming the GPO system, David provides realistic guidance on how to select the right GPO partner (from looking at contract age and rebidding frequency to volume transparency and customization options). He also points out the key areas where GPOs can still deliver differentiated value, but only if they are leveraged appropriately and procurement puts the time and effort into measuring the value they expect to receive.  While there are still benefits to using this model, it's clear, says David, that in 2025, strategic procurement through GPOs requires a more discerning, purpose-driven approach than ever before.

In fact, it's almost become a status symbol to be viewed as transgender. Earlier this month, the Department of Health and Human Services released a ground-breaking report which confirms the lack of evidence supporting both the safety and efficacy of transgender interventions both in children and adolescents. This goes against the mantra that's been coming out from many public school systems, as well as the practices of Planned Parenthood and what we've been seeing from Hollywood. This is a many faceted issue that involves aspects such as gender dysphoria, gender affirming care, preferred pronouns, puberty blockers, emotional instability, the suicide factor and more.

Americans are watching more porn than ever before, including both children and adults. Savage discusses the detrimental effects of pornography with Dr. John Foubert, PhD, a scholar and expert on sexual assault prevention. They explore how pornography can lead to permanent mental damage, its addictive nature, and its negative impact on marriages and relationships. Dr. Foubert explains how pornographic content has become increasingly violent and degrading, and comments on the various myths surrounding its supposed benefits. They discuss the link between pornography and sexual assault, as well as its psychological effects, such as increased anxiety, depression, and loneliness. The conversation also touches on the lack of substantial political pushback against the porn industry and the challenges in combating its influence.

Let's face it—most of us would rather do anything than talk about death. But avoiding the conversation doesn't make it go away—it just leaves your loved ones drowning in decisions, grief, and sometimes financial chaos. In this episode of Everyone's Talkin' Money, I sit down with Dr. Kimberly Harms, a grief counselor, death doula, mediator, author, and former national spokesperson for the American Dental Association, who has lived through more loss and reinvention than most of us can imagine. From losing her son to suicide, her husband to a broken heart, and her career to injury, Kim rebuilt her life by embracing the hardest conversations—and now she teaches others how to prepare emotionally and financially for the inevitable. We talk about: Why open conversations about death and money reduce family conflict and emotional trauma The importance of legacy planning, estate organization, and writing a “love letter” binder Common financial regrets people share at the end of life—and how to avoid them What every member of the sandwich generation needs to know about long-term care and expectations How to talk to your kids (and grandkids! and parents!) about death without fear or shame Why grief + money = explosive—and how to avoid drama by planning ahead The surprising role of hospice, and why dying on your terms can be the greatest gift you give Kim's wisdom will leave you inspired to tackle your own plans, have those long-overdue conversations, and rethink what a “wealthy” life really means. You're going to walk away knowing: Financial planning is crucial for emotional preparedness in end-of-life scenarios. Hospice care focuses on comfort rather than prolonging life. Many families experience conflict after a death due to lack of communication. Leaving a legacy of love is the most important aspect of life. Planning for retirement and end-of-life care can alleviate burdens on family members. Kim encourages writing love letters to family members as a lasting legacy. Conversations about death should be normalized to reduce fear and discomfort. Joy and resilience are essential themes in navigating life's challenges. If you just want to make life easier for your loved one, or yourself - this is your must-listen episode.
