Three facts are scientifically undisputed: Serotonin is essential for fetal brain development. SSRIs disrupt the serotonin system. SSRIs freely cross the placenta. So why are pregnant women being told these drugs carry "little or no risk"?In this rare head-to-head debate, Dr. Adam Urato—maternal-fetal medicine specialist and FDA expert panelist—faces off against Dr. Robert Chen, a psychiatry resident willing to do what most of his colleagues won't: step into the arena and defend the establishment position.What unfolds is a striking conversation where both physicians actually agree on more than you'd expect—including that informed consent is failing pregnant women, that the chemical imbalance theory is dead, and that "untreated depression" is a misleading frame designed to sell drugs. The uncomfortable question neither side can fully answer: If SSRIs are correcting depression, why does the research show worse outcomes for women who stay on them?This isn't anti-medication propaganda. It's the conversation your doctor isn't trained to have with you.Listen before you fill that prescription.

Across Mediterranean Europe, olive groves are in decline from a range of factors, from disease to depopulation. In Italy alone, there are roughly 440 million abandoned olive trees, and the ecological, cultural and socioeconomic impacts from the loss are devastating, explains the latest guest on the Mongabay Newscast. Still, solutions exist to help turn the tide of this under-discussed problem. Federica Romano is the program coordinator and UNESCO Chair on Agricultural Heritage Landscapes at the University of Florence. On this episode of the Mongabay Newscast she discusses the drivers of the degradation and abandonment of olive groves, how ecological factors and human-induced climate change exacerbate these, and the consequences for biodiversity and wildlife in Europe, where olive oil isn't just an economic institution, but also a significant cultural one. "Olive groves hold [a] deep cultural significance that goes far beyond agriculture [and] food production across Europe," she says. "Olive trees have symbolized peace, resilience and continuity through thousands of years, appearing in religious contexts, but also in arts and historical narratives."

Country artist Olivia Harms talks about her journey from growing up on a multi-generation cattle ranch in Oregon to appearing on the CBS series The Road. Olivia shares how being raised in a musical family—literally taking the stage at just two days old—set her on a path toward country music, along with the early influences that shaped her sound. She reflects on recording her first album at 16, navigating a more pop-country phase, and ultimately finding her voice.Additionally, Olivia opens up about being hand-selected by Taylor Sheridan and Blake Shelton for The Road, competing and opening for Keith Urban, and what the experience taught her about herself as an artist. We also dive into her songwriting process, including the stories behind Hey There Cowboy, Kiddie Pool, and This Ain't My First Rodeo, as well as her 2025 releases Sent from Above and I'm On My Way. Plus, she talks about balancing life on a working cattle ranch with playing more than 200 shows a year, what she loves most about being on stage, and what fans can expect from Olivia Harms in 2026.Jonathan's Drinking: Sagamore High Rye Bourbon

In this deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation, Justin Greenfield shares his journey of faith, healing, and self-understanding after years of struggling with same-sex attraction. Together, he and Dr. Jennifer Roback Morse explore why simply telling people to "just stop" often fails, how childhood wounds shape adult struggles, and what real compassion, science, and Christian sanctification actually look like. This interview challenges popular narratives, offers hope rooted in truth, and points toward peace that comes not from denying pain—but from facing it. Justin Greenfield is an author, speaker, and spiritual director who received his master's in spiritual formation from the Institute for Spiritual Formation at Talbot School of Theology and also holds a 4-year degree in missions. In 2003, God revealed His love to Justin while a student at Johns Hopkins University. God provided key insights that led him out of homosexuality. Today, Justin speaks on issues related to church fellowship, compassion, sanctification, evangelism, and sexual identity. Justin has been speaking at churches, conferences, and on radio stations nationwide since 2004. Justin runs a spiritual direction and coaching practice for those looking for support on their own sanctification journey. If we don't speak first, the Enemy wins. If we wait for those struggling to come to us, we're more likely to lose them to the Devil. Here's the problem: the overwhelming majority of people struggling with homosexuality aren't revealing themselves to anyone in the church. They want to be invisible, because they are terrified of what will happen if somebody finds out their secret. Why risk facing shame and contempt, especially when they're not seeing changed lives of other homosexuals in their church? The solution: we speak redemptive truths over broad groups of people in our lives. That way, we reach those in need without them having to raise their hand and say, "Here I am!" If you read this book, pick up some great insights that can change lives, but simply wait for those who need help to come to you, then the Devil has already won those in your life. You must proactively speak holistic, redemptive insights to your circles of influence, whether that's a pulpit, a small group, or the dinner table. So who is one person you can share this information with, that homosexuality is typically developmental and the result of a number of statistically relevant factors, oftentimes including same-sex love-hunger? Who can you pass this video along to who may not struggle with homosexuality themselves, but just like everyone these days, they need to understand it? People need love and the lack of insights devastates lives.

In an industry often defined by hard data and low bids, how do you actually win work without "selling out"? In this episode of Constructive, I sit down with Ken Harms, a construction industry veteran with over 40 years of experience, to discuss the transition from technical project management to the human side of business development. Ken recently authored the book, Building Trust and Winning Work, where he argues that winning work has less to do with the physical proposal and everything to do with how you show up for your clients and build authentic relationships. We dive deep into the "Doer-Seller" model, the psychological hurdles of trust, and why the phrase "stay in your lane" is a creativity killer for construction firms. Key Topics Covered:The Trust Hurdle: Why being likable and competent isn't enough if you break your word. Service over Selling: Shifting your mindset from "making a sale" to being of radical service to the client. The Power of Curiosity: Why you should walk into a client meeting with a legal pad and six questions instead of a glossy brochure. Coaching & Mentorship: Why even the best in the industry—like Steph Curry—still need a coach to stay on top of their game. AI in Construction: How to use AI as a force multiplier for research without losing the essential "face-to-face" human connection. Whether you're an APM looking to accelerate your career or a C-suite executive rethinking your corporate strategy, Ken's insights offer a blueprint for winning work with integrity.

Hello everyone, we welcome you back to another episode of Trudge Report. In this week's episode we tackle a little bit of football talk as playoff season is upon us. We go around the horn and Greg gives a little constructive feedback to the toy manufacturer, Mattel. We also mention the touching but sometimes overlooked moments of being parents. We discuss a little more about financial fears and then we dive into the main recovery segment which is the harms we have done to others. We talk about how we used and manipulated everyone, especially those closest to us. These harms are not only caused during our drinking days but also when we are many years sober. It all lands on a simple point: freedom starts when you stop hiding from what you did and start showing up like a different person. Persistence in prayer is an expression of our faith. -Emmet Fox-Don't forget to like, share, rate, and download the podcast on all of your listening platforms.

This episode is brought to you by Joi & Blokes, Fatty15, and Strong Coffee Company. In this powerful conversation, Dr. Will Bulsiewicz, MD joins Ever Forward Radio to explore why true healing goes far beyond food, supplements, and exercise—and into the nervous system, emotional health, and human connection. Drawing from his new book Plant Powered Plus, Will explains how inflammation is driven by an inseparable triad of gut microbiome imbalance, immune dysfunction, and a compromised gut barrier, while also revealing how chronic stress, unresolved trauma, loneliness, and circadian disruption can prevent the body from ever feeling safe enough to heal. This episode clearly explains the gut–brain–immune axis, the role of parasympathetic "safety" states, why PTSD and trauma leave measurable signatures in the gut, and how practices like sunlight exposure, breathwork, meaningful relationships, and spiritual purpose are not "woo"—but biology.  Follow Will @theguthealthmd Follow Chase @chase_chewning ----- 00:00 – Introduction: Why You're Not Healing (It's Not Just Food) 01:30 – Inflammation, Strength & the Core Thesis of Plant Powered Plus 02:25 – 70% of the Immune System Lives in the Gut 03:40 – The Inflammation Trifecta: Dysbiosis, Gut Barrier & Immunity 05:10 – How Fast the Gut Microbiome and Gut Lining Can Heal 06:00 – 450,000 New Gut Cells Every Second 09:00 – Why the Body Wants to Heal (If We Let It) 10:00 – Morning Sunlight, Circadian Rhythm & Energy 11:30 – Gut Microbes Follow a 24-Hour Schedule 12:45 – Why the Immune System Is Active at Night 14:00 – Serotonin, Melatonin & Gut Repair 16:00 – Cortisol: When Stress Helps vs. Harms 18:30 – The Sympathetic Nervous System & "Berserker Mode 21:45 – How Chronic Stress Damages the Gut Barrier 24:00 – Trauma, PTSD & Inflammatory Disease 26:00 – Why You Can't Out-Diet Trauma 29:00 – Science, Pattern Recognition & the Mind–Body Connection 32:00 – Parasympathetic Healing: Safety, Rest & Digestion 34:00 – Breathwork, Meditation & Nervous System Regulation 36:00 – Human Connection as Medicine 38:30 – Loneliness, Mortality & Modern Society 43:00 – Why Meaningful Relationships Are Essential for Health 46:00 – Can You Be Healthy Without Deep Connection? 49:00 – Measuring Stress: HRV, Wearables & Inflammation 55:30 – Trauma, PTSD & the Gut Microbiome 58:00 – Healing Trauma and Healing the Gut Together 1:03:30 – Dr. Bulsiewicz's Personal Healing Story 1:09:30 – Reconciliation, Grief & Spiritual Healing 1:18:00 – Purpose, Faith & the Limits of Science 1:22:00 – Ever Forward ----- Episode resources: Get 50% off any diagnostic labs with code CHASE at https://www.JoiAndBlokes.com/chase Get an additional 15% off the 90-day starter kit of C15:0 essential fatty acids https://www.Fatty15.com/everforward Save 15% on organic coffee and lattes with code CHASE at https://www.StrongCoffeeCompany.com Watch and subscribe on YouTube Get Will's new book, Plant Powered PLUS Learn more at TheGutHealthMD.com

In this sobering episode of Politely Rude, Abby is joined by Noemi Padilla, a registered nurse with over 30 years of experience — including four years working inside a high-volume abortion clinic in Tampa, Florida.Noemi shares her firsthand testimony of how she entered the abortion industry believing she was helping women, only to witness systemic neglect, coercion, and abuse behind closed doors. She recounts the lack of medical standards, the profit-driven culture, and the ways women were treated when no one was watching — realities she says are not isolated incidents, but widespread and protected.This conversation explores how the abortion industry recruits, silences, and shields itself from accountability, even when women are harmed. Noemi also reflects on the moment that shattered her justifications, the guilt of complicity, and why she ultimately chose to walk away and speak out.This episode is difficult, necessary, and deeply revealing — a testimony that has become a call for truth, accountability, and genuine care for women.FOLLOW ABBY ON SOCIAL MEDIA- Instagram- Facebook- Twitter

You're getting donations for a nonprofit – and that's great! But sometimes generosity comes with strings you never expected. In this episode, Meghan and I dig into the wild world of donor gifts and why nonprofits need clear guardrails to protect themselves from gifts that actually hurt the nonprofit. Real Listener Question: "We have a donation button on our website where people can give online and set up recurring donations for monthly contributions. A few weeks ago, someone set up a daily 50 cent donation. Our accountant looked into it and is saying that it's not fraud or anything like that, but it just seems really silly. Our payment processor takes $0.30 out per transaction plus a merchant fee, so we're getting next to nothing on these donations. What do I do?" This tiny daily gift opens the door to a much bigger conversation about gift acceptance policies and the hidden costs of donations. Meghan and I talk through the drawbacks, the admin time, the donor relationship dynamics, and the surprising ways well-intentioned gifts can actually drain your resources. We also break down how to set minimums, how to talk to donors with compassion, and how to avoid getting stuck with gifts that cost more than they give back. What You'll Learn: Why every nonprofit needs a gift acceptance policy How to know when a gift creates more harm than helps The hidden administrative costs behind every single donation Ways to set smart donation minimums How to redirect donors without damaging the relationship Why saying no is actually part of stewardship How to prepare for unusual gifts before they show up Bottom line: Not every gift is a positive thing for a nonprofit. Sometimes you need to say no and guiding donors toward giving that truly supports your mission.

When depression shapes the life of the person you love the most, will your faith hold—or begin to break under the pressure?In this week's episode of Latter-Day Lights, Scott and Emily sit down with Amanda Harms — a counselor, mother of six, and newly minted PhD in social psychology — to share her personal journey through supporting a spouse living with chronic depression.With mental illness and frayed communication leading to years of financial hardship, cross-country moves, spiritual denial, and seasons of uncertainty in her marriage, Amanda reflects on how compassion, understanding, and Christlike love slowly transformed the way she perceived her husband and herself.Through stories of resilience, motherhood, and the concept of “eternal perspective,” Amanda's journey invites listeners to consider what long-term endurance really looks like — not as a single turning point, but as years of small choices to remain faithful, present, and compassionate. It's a reminder that while answers don't always come quickly, the Lord walks with us through the slow, sacred process of becoming.*** Please SHARE Amanda's story and help us spread hope and light to others. ***To WATCH this episode on YouTube, visit: https://youtu.be/GukEY_jB1-k -----To READ Amanda's book, "Breaking Free from the Shame of Addiction," visit: https://a.co/d/jawXlJTTo READ Scott's new book “Faith to Stay” for free, visit: https://www.faithtostay.com/-----Keep updated with us on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/latter.day.lights/Follow us on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/latterdaylightsAlso, if you have a faith-promoting or inspiring story, or know someone who does, please let us know by going to https://www.latterdaylights.com and reaching out to us.

Alcohol is the most used substance among adults in the United States despite being known to cause cancer, liver disease, cardiomyopathy, and more.  Approximately 600 people die in Rhode Island every year from excessive alcohol use. In this episode, Linda Mahoney, associate director for the Rhode Island Department of Behavioral Healthcare, Developmental Disabilities and Hospitals and Emily Ledingham, senior alcohol epidemiologist at the Rhode Island Department of Health talk about what people need to know and where to find help when it's needed.  

Episode 301 kicks off the 300s with Colin Harms and opens with a milestone announcement, HyperVac Technologies and HyperFab are the official Title Sponsors of The Business Development Podcast for 2026. Kelly and Colin reflect on the relationship that started through the podcast, why community and consistency matter, and what it takes to keep raising the standard as an independent Canadian show that is competing on a global stage.From there, the conversation gets real about building through pressure as a Canadian business and making the shift from reacting to taking control. Colin shares how they intentionally diversified by building HyperFab long before the tariffs, moving from 100 percent subcontracted manufacturing to bringing fabrication fully in house so they could control timelines, quality, and execution. They break down why that decision sets them up to win in 2026, and how HyperFab is positioned to become a major player as the next chapter of growth takes off.Key Takeaways:1. One bold reach out can change everything, because the right relationships often start with a simple “I felt the urge to message you.” 2. Consistency builds momentum, especially when you create something every week that you genuinely look forward to and plan your life around. 3. Reinvest in what's already producing fruit, because sowing into solid ground is how you multiply results instead of starting from zero every time. 4. Relationships beat transactions, and loyalty comes from actually caring, not just “closing the deal.” 5. Community is a force multiplier, because it gives you a safe space to vent, learn, and borrow perspective when you're carrying it alone. 6. The mindset shift that changes everything is moving from “why is this happening to us?” to “what can we do about it?” 7. In hard seasons, don't bury your head or quit early, keep peeling layers, making calls, and finding a way even when people say it won't work. 8. Success leaves clues, so study what's already working, learn from competitors, and copy great systems without ego. 9. You can forecast all you want, but you still won't fully know what's next, so the real advantage is staying adaptable and willing to pivot fast. 10. Long term winners take control of the fundamentals, bring key capabilities in-house, hire the right people, and build the confidence to say “we can do this.” Ready to make 2026 your year?The Catalyst Club is a private community for founders, business owners, and leaders who are serious about growth, accountability, and real conversations that move the needle.

Washington clean-air rules stall cremation upgrades, leaving funeral homes stuck with polluting machines. A viral video shows a crazy woman berating an elderly target employee for wearing a red Charlie Kirk shirt. Some SNAP recipients are furious that one state is limiting EBT to ‘real food.’ // Big Local: A Kent farm has been devastated from the floods. Flooding led to a fatality in Snohomish County. The possibility of a landslide looms over residents of Concrete. A suspect has been accused of making a phony 911 call and stabbing a Bellevue police officer over the weekend. // You Pick the Topic: A new film adaptation of George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ changes the story into a warning about capitalism instead of communism.

Kim Harms never expected to hear the word "cancer" twice. After beating breast cancer with only a 5-6% chance of recurrence, she was devastated when it returned seven years later, this time more advanced and requiring intensive chemotherapy. Kim's story isn't just about surviving cancer; it's about discovering God's presence in the darkest valleys. During her second battle, whilst enduring 16 rounds of chemotherapy, her son Owen began mysteriously losing weight and strength, ultimately being diagnosed with ulcerative colitis after months of frightening uncertainty.   Through these overlapping crises, Kim found her calling. She's written two books, Life Reconstructed and Carried Through Cancer, and co-ordinates a ministry that sends free mastectomy pillows worldwide. Her raw honesty about crying on her floor, making promises to God, watching friends fade away, and feeling the isolation of cancer will resonate with anyone facing overwhelming circumstances. Kim's story reminds us that we're not promised smooth sailing, but we are promised God's presence, and that makes all the difference. (Want to be a guest on Bleeding Daylight?

What happens when clinicians stop hearing the very people they're trying to help? In this episode, Dr. Rageshri Dhairyawan, a Consultant Physician in Sexual Health and HIV Medicine at Barts Health NHS Trust and Deputy Director of the SHARE Collaborative at Queen Mary University of London, discusses how patients are often disbelieved or dismissed in healthcare. She shares her own experience of being ignored during a painful hospitalization, which revealed how difficult it can be for even a senior doctor to speak up when vulnerable. Dhairyawan argues that medicine has a long-standing culture of skepticism toward patient testimony, which harms trust, exacerbates inequities, and undermines care. She urges systemic and educational reforms, more time, continuity, staff wellbeing, training in true listening, and structural support for patient voices. While acknowledging resource constraints, she emphasizes that listening is both therapeutic and essential to restoring humanity in healthcare. Tune in to hear Dr. Rageshri Dhairyawan unpack why patients often feel unheard, and how listening might be healthcare's most powerful, yet overlooked, tool.

I signed the Declaration for the historical account, to join in efforts to bring attention to the harms of gender and violence against women. I want to end patriarchy's subjugation of women, I want to peak women to patriarchy and how it impacts their everyday lives - specifically the Declaration's statement: "To modify the social and cultural patterns of conduct of men and women, with a view to achieving the elimination of prejudices and customary and all other practices which are based on the idea of the inferiority or the superiority of either of the sexes or on stereotyped roles for men and women" I believe this is where patriarchy will end, by changing the social patterns and peaking women to the world they are living in and are mostly unaware of the social grooming and covert abuse they experience under patriarchy. Bringing attention to feminist organizations that we need to reach girls, young women and mothers to end the patriarchal cycles our society encourages. Peaking to Trans ideology - slow boil for years, some eye opening personal experiences, finally through a female led podcast I really became enraged at how gender ideology was erasing women's sex-based rights.

Drew Perkins welcomes neuroscientist and acclaimed author Jared Cooney Horvath to dissect his new book, The Digital Delusion, which provides a rigorous, evidence-based critique of edtech. Links & Resources Mentioned In This Episode Horvath doesn't mince words, arguing that the majority of student-facing, internet-connected devices should be removed from schools. He reveals that over 60 years of consistent data supports his claim that the integration of digital tools is fundamentally detrimental to effective learning. This isn't a Luddite's complaint; it's a detailed exploration of the Neuroscience of Learning. The harm is explained through three primary biological mechanisms, which Horvath asserts are unfixable with software. First, screens train students to multitask, leading to a constant, detrimental battle for attention in a learning environment. Second, the use of devices inhibits the essential human-to-human interaction necessary for empathetic synchrony—the mirroring and mimicking critical for deep cognitive and social development. Finally, we discuss the profound problem of Transfer of Learning. Horvath explains that by learning skills in an "easy" digital context, the ability to transfer that knowledge to a more complex, real-life (analog) task is significantly diminished, making the learning "slower, worse, and less deep." The data suggests tech only works in highly narrow contexts, primarily for surface-level "drill and kill" facts or basic remediation, often through intelligent tutors. The conversation then shifts to the persistent educational conflicts, notably the ongoing tension between Explicit Instruction vs Inquiry and Project-Based Learning (PBL). Horvath connects the rigidity of entrenched positions to a "sunk cost" phenomenon, where individuals find it too "costly" to change their public stance, even when facing opposing evidence. We delve into the complexities of teaching, noting that both traditional and progressive approaches are valid at different points in a student's journey, but both are fundamentally flawed when they adhere rigidly to a single philosophy. Furthermore, we explore the nature of Critical Thinking Skills and creativity. Horvath clarifies that while the mechanism for critical thinking is innate across all ages, its output is heavily constrained by the individual's available domain-specific knowledge. The science of learning, he argues, has nothing to say about specific pedagogy (such as direct instruction versus exploratory learning); it only describes the biological constraints of how the brain learns. Therefore, neuroscience should serve as a powerful tool to inform and improve any existing pedagogical approach, not dictate a single one. Horvath offers a vision for the ideal classroom, suggesting elementary spaces should be "basically outdoor," focused on play and minimal tech. For older students, he advocates for a high level of control, confining computer use to specialized lab settings—much like woodshop or physical education. This perspective provides an essential counter-narrative for any K-12 educator or administrator struggling to balance modern tools with effective, long-term student success.

Timestamped Episode Timeline Time Segment/Topic [00:00] Introduction of Jared Cooney Horvath – Teacher-turned-neuroscientist, focus on "human learning" and applying neuroscience to educational practices. [01:28] Jared's Educational Background and Views on Pedagogy – Describing his K-12 experience as a "mishmash" that didn't adhere rigidly to "traditional" or "progressive" labels. [03:45] The Digital Delusion Book & EdTech Critique – Introducing the book and its core argument: edtech fundamentally harms learning, advocating for reducing/eliminating non-essential computer use in classrooms. [07:18] EdTech and Learning Outcomes/The Swedish Example – Advocating for removing student-facing, internet-connected devices; citing Sweden's ban on general tech use in schools (confining computers to a lab). [08:09] Exceptions for Technology Use – Tech only works effectively in narrow contexts: self-adaptive "intelligent tutors" for surface-level (drill and kill) learning and remediation. [09:46] Mechanisms of EdTech Harm (Biological) – Outlining the three primary ways screens harm learning: Attention, Empathetic Synchrony, and Transfer. [12:29] Transfer and Complexity in Learning – Discussion on how learning in an easy digital context makes skill transfer to a harder, real-life analog context almost impossible. [15:54] AI, Pedagogy, and Creating Learning Tools – Drew's example of using AI for quizzes; Jared's counter that learning is "slower, worse, and less deep" than if the student created the tools themselves. [18:07] The Ideal Classroom – Jared's vision for elementary (outdoor, play-focused, minimal tech) and middle/high school (human-element focus, highly controlled tech use in a lab). [20:17] Critical Thinking and Metacognition – Discussion on the definition of critical thinking, with Jared suggesting metacognition is a more accurate term for the process. [23:02] The Role of Knowledge in Critical Thinking – The mechanism is universal, but the outcome of critical thinking without knowledge is "very very narrow or pointless." [27:43] Creativity and Questioning – Defining creativity as "rearranging of your current memory structures." The role of knowledge and safety/context in the ability to ask good questions. [35:47] Tension Between Traditional and Progressive Education – Observing the acute conflict in Australia/UK; asserting both approaches are correct at different points but wrong when they are too rigid. [40:34] Science of Learning and Pedagogy – Stressing that the science of learning only concerns biological mechanisms and should inform teaching, not dictate a specific pedagogy. [43:08] AI Model Training and Pedagogical Parallels – Drew's question on parallels between AI's "symbolism" vs. "connectivism" and educational philosophies. [44:15] Critique of AI and Cognitive Models – Jared's view that AI conceptualization has mistakenly influenced brain understanding and that current AI models may be at a peak without a new theoretical framework. [46:02] Book and Contact Information – Sharing website (www.lmegglobal.net), new book (The Digital Delusion), and YouTube channel. [46:47] Closing Remarks – Final thoughts on recognizing the "gray zone" in complex educational issues.  

Registered nurse June Pomeroy discusses her article, "How physician obesity affects patient care." June explores the complex realities of weight bias within the medical field, examining how a physician's own struggle with obesity can impact patient care. She highlights the professional stigma physicians face and the documented bias from patients, which often leads to reduced treatment confidence and delayed diagnoses for obesity. June digs deep into why obesity is a complex chronic disease (not just a willpower issue) and discusses how the health care system fails both patients and providers by lacking adequate training on obesity. This conversation covers the critical need to move beyond BMI, focusing instead on metabolic health and compassion to improve patient care and challenge systemic weight stigma. Learn how addressing physician bias and wellness can transform the way we treat obesity. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

In light of the overturned ruling of Kowalski v Johns Hopkins and Serial's The Preventionist, we're reairing an episode from our Kowalski season in which Andrea dives into the complexities around reporting child abuse suspicions. *** With the jury's stunning $242 million verdict in favor of the Kowalski family, host Andrea Dunlop looks at why this case has struck such a nerve on both sides of the political spectrum. She examines why some mothers accused of medical child abuse are viewed as monsters and others as martyrs.   Andrea looks at the charges against social worker Cathy Bedy the woman who became the face of the child welfare bureaucracy during the Maya Kowalski case and examines her testimony.   We also seek out answers about the troubled state of child welfare in America by talking to Dr. Jessica Pryce, author of the forthcoming book Broken: Transforming Child Protective Services—Notes of a Former Caseworker.  Dr. Pryce shares heart-wrenching stories of mothers whose lives have been turned upside down by investigations and sets out a compelling and urgent case for an overhaul of CPS. With her inside view of the system, she also gives insight on how doctors and other mandated reporters can do the best for the families they want to help even within the current, deeply flawed system.   This episode grapples with the complexity around reporting child abuse suspicions and the potentially chilling ripple effects of the explosive verdict in Kowalski v Johns Hopkins All Childrens. It examines the lack of support for struggling parents in America, while leaving the listener with urgent questions about justice and equity.  *** Learn more about Dr. Pryce's work on her website: https://jessicaprycephd.com/   Tickets for Nobody Should Believe Me LIVE: https://www.andreadunlop.net/nobody-should-believe-me-live Order Andrea's book The Mother Next Door: Medicine, Deception, and Munchausen by Proxy.  Click here to view our sponsors.
