Supporting Neurodivergency in Healthcare ProfessionalsSUMMARY: Neurodiversity is an important consideration in nursing education, clinical learning environments, and healthcare workforce development. This activity explores how neurodivergent learners and professionals experience traditional educational systems, including barriers related to disclosure, accommodations, assessment design, communication, executive functioning, and implicit bias. Participants will examine practical strategies for creating inclusive learning environments through trauma-informed teaching, Universal Design for Learning, transparency in teaching, and competency-based education. Emphasis is placed on maintaining academic and clinical standards while reducing unnecessary barriers that can affect learner success, faculty well-being, workforce retention, and patient care. ---Nurses may be able to complete an accredited CE activity featuring content from this podcast and earn CE hours provided from Elite Learning by Colibri Healthcare.

What if failure isn't the opposite of winning — but the gift that makes it possible? In Part 2 of this two-part conversation, Your Health CEO Matt Staub opens up about the present he gave himself at 40: permission to fail. Then he shows what that looks like when life tests it — walking Jamie through a 2025 that brought prostate cancer, his daughter's surgery, the loss of his father, and professional hardship, and the quiet strength it takes to look back and say, "That was a good try. I'm still here. I'm hard to beat." In this episode, you'll hear: How Matt reframes a loss into a "fall forward" — and the simple habit he uses to do it The agonizing leadership question of when to let someone you care about fail Why accountability, done right, is one of the best gifts you can give a friend The danger of only celebrating big wins — and how complacency quietly creeps in Why the only voice that truly matters is the one inside your own head If you missed Part 1, start there for the full arc. Then settle in here for the deeper, more personal half — and walk away with a new relationship to the losses in your own life.

9 Simple Solutions to Achieve Health Equity: A Guide for Healthcare Professionals and Patients by Mauvareen Beverley https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0D73NNN2V Drbeverley.com Nine Simple Solutions to Achieve Health Equity: A Guide for Healthcare Professionals and Patients by Dr. Beverley presents actionable strategies to transform health disparity into health equity. Drawing from her extensive interactions with over 1,000 diverse patients, Dr. Beverley introduces innovative approaches, like “The Bridge Team,” to enhance outcomes for vulnerable populations. Dr. Beverley offers a clear roadmap supported by real-life stories, addressing the critical gap between patient perception and reality. She emphasizes simple, empathetic solutions to prevent complex health issues, stressing the importance of recognizing patients as multifaceted individuals with roles beyond their medical conditions. This essential guide advocates for cultural competence across all patient demographics, highlighting the often-overlooked needs of the English-speaking Black population who are not included in the need for cultural competence. Dr. Beverley also provides historical insights into the health crises faced by Black communities, underscoring the need for equitable, compassionate care inclusive of individuals with Sickle Cell Disease. Echoing Hippocrates, Dr. Beverley reminds us: “It is more important to know the person who has the disease than the disease who has the person.” This book is a vital resource for healthcare professionals and patients committed to achieving health equity and improving health outcomes.

Send us Fan MailWhat does AI literacy actually look like for pathologists, researchers, and future clinicians? And how do you teach it in a way that is practical, not abstract?In this episode, I talk with Candice Chu, DVM, PhD about something I think a lot of people in digital pathology and computational pathology are feeling right now: AI is moving fast, but education is still catching up.Candice is a clinical pathologist, veterinarian, and educator building AI-focused teaching and research at Texas A&M. We worked together before on digital pathology and image analysis projects, so this conversation felt especially grounded. We talk about her AI literacy curriculum framework for veterinary education, why she decided to build it, and what it takes to teach AI in a way that is useful, ethical, and realistic.This episode is about understanding what AI tools are good for, where they can waste your time, and why hands-on experience matters. Candice explains why she sees AI as a set of tools, not a belief system. Try them. Learn them. Keep what improves your workflow. Drop what does not.We also talk about the difference between putting educational content online and building formal institutional teaching. That matters because social media can move quickly, but curriculum changes, research, and professional organizations shape longer-term adoption. Candice shares how her course started as a low-stakes elective, then grew into a more structured framework that combines education with publishable research.A big part of this conversation is the curriculum itself. We go through what students actually learn: AI fundamentals without heavy math, machine learning and image analysis, large language models, prompt engineering, chatbot building, ethics, literature research, and final projects where students evaluate real tools and workflows. I liked that the course does not stop at theory. It asks students to use tools, question them, and explain where they help and where they do not.We also get into something that matters far beyond veterinary medicine: professional responsibility. If AI is involved in a workflow, the clinician is still responsible. That includes fabricated citations, bad outputs, weak prompts, and the temptation to trust tools too quickly. Candice makes a strong case that AI education needs ethics, legal context, and interdisciplinary teaching built in from the start.If you are trying to think more clearly about AI in pathology, education, workflow design, or professional training, this episode gives you a concrete example of what responsible AI literacy can look like.Episode Highlights00:00 – Why AI tools are just tools, and why trying them matters even if you later decide not to keep using them00:33 – Who Candice Chu is and why her work on AI literacy in veterinary medicine is worth paying attention to02:33 – Why going back to Texas A&M changed the scale of Candice's AI research and teaching07:53 – How the AI course was designed as a low-stakes elective first, and why that helped student engagement11:16 – Where veterinary AI education stands now, and what professional organizations like ACVP are doing13:08 – Why AI adoption in veterinary medicine is still slow, and what skepticism usually sounds like in practice15:19 – Real examples of how Candice uses LLMs and computer vision in pathology, medical records, and research19:58 – What is actually inside the 15-week AI literacy curriculum, from fundamentals to final projects24:16 – Why ethics and legal responsibility are not optional in AI education31:35 – Why no-code tools and vibe coding are entering the curriculum already38:50 – The AI tools Candice is testing in her own workflow, including Claude, Codex, and PerplexityResources mentionedCandice Chu's AI literacy curriculum framework paper in Frontiers in Veterinary ScienceCandice's earlier work on ChatGPT in veterinary medicineTexas A&M and the institutional setting where Candice is building AI research and teachingMr. Don Riddick and the AVMA AI working group, mentioned in the ethics and legal contextClaude, Codex, and Perplexity as AI tools Candice is actively testingDigital Pathology 101, mentioned in the conversation as a teaching resourceCandice's online educational work on Instagram.Support the showGet the "Digital Pathology 101" FREE E-book and join us!

Whoever scores the most goals wins. Simple — until you leave the field and try to keep score in your actual life, where there's no referee and no final whistle. So how do you know if you're winning? In Part 1 of this two-part conversation, Your Health CEO Matt Staub sits down with Jamie Preston to redefine what a win actually is. Matt opens with the daily ritual that grounds him — making it to the gym — and the moment he realized the win wasn't the scale or the heavier lift, but the discipline of showing up at all. In this episode, you'll hear: Why the heaviest weight at the gym is the front door — and what that teaches about every goal The hidden cost of only celebrating the big wins (hint: it's called burnout) What a humbling match-play golf loss taught Jamie about changing the goal instead of the game Why Matt believes pressure is a privilege — and how he leans into it Who actually decides what counts as a win, and what to do when there's no scoreboard This is the half where winning gets redefined from the outside in. Press play, then come back next week for Part 2 — where it gets personal.

What if the patient never noticed the merger at all? For Matt Staub, that's not a failure — it's the goal. In this episode, Your Health CEO Matt Staub sits down with Jamie to talk through the company's merger with TCPA and Providence Care — a move that brings together similar footprints in primary care, palliative, hospice, skilled nursing, and assisted living across South Carolina and Georgia. As a 23-year healthcare veteran going through his first merger, Matt is candid about the tedious due-diligence "earnest money" phase, the EMR transitions ahead, and why he refuses to let "what could go wrong" crowd out "what could go right." You'll hear: Why "mass moves mass" — and what scale actually buys patients in care management and data analytics How Your Health breaks 50,000 patients into groups, teams, and "hubs" so no one falls through the cracks The "change is hard" philosophy and the discipline of productive (not just effective) communication How the spirit of agape — godly love — still threads through a company that's evolved far past its original name What success looks like in six months: patient retention, mission and margin If you lead through change — or live through it — this one will reframe how you think about getting bigger without losing what made you matter.

Host Dr. Mike Chupp is joined by CMDA's Vice President of Advocacy & Bioethics, Dr. Brick Lantz, to answer listener questions from both CMDA members and non-members. Together, they cover a wide range of topics, including conscience protections for pharmacists, the collision of faith and culture in the exam room, caring for patients who are dying, and the spiritual disciplines that help keep Christian healthcare professionals grounded.

What if educating your people so well that they could leave was exactly the point? At Your Health, that's not a risk to manage — it's the philosophy that built an entire learning ecosystem. In this episode, Jamie talks with Aubrey Wall, who came to Your Health from a background in education and now leads Your Health University, the organization's learning management system and continuous-development engine. Aubrey brings an educator's eye to a fast-evolving healthcare environment, where best practice changes by the day and meeting patients where they are demands that staff never stop learning. Here's what you'll hear: Why a healthcare company runs 12-month, Department of Labor–registered apprenticeships — including programs in management, value-based care, population health, and hospice aide preparation How gamification is being built into nurse instruction (straight from Aubrey's dissertation research) The difference between Your Health University (your classroom) and the Hub (your resource library) How LinkedIn Learning delivered roughly $4.2 million in CEUs to staff last year Meeting Leah — the new AI assistant that helps employees find exactly the right course If you've ever believed growing your people is a cost rather than the whole point, this conversation will change how you think.

Who controls what happens between women's legs after menopause?It's a confronting question, but one that sits at the heart of this episode.In this short, powerful conversation, I am joined by menopause specialist and sexologist Dr Angela Wright to explore why so many women — particularly those who have had cancer — are still being denied access to vaginal and vulval oestrogen treatments. And why we're not routinely having the conversation about sexual health after cancer treatment.Despite being widely recognised as one of the most effective and low-risk treatments for genitourinary symptoms of menopause (GSM), access remains incredibly low. Many women are left navigating pain, dryness, recurrent infections, loss of sexual function, and a deep impact on identity and relationships — often without being offered treatment. Or they're told ‘no'.This episode explores:Why are women not allowed to make an informed choice about their intimate health?The realities of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) — and why it's more than “just dryness”The added complexity for women on treatments like aromatase inhibitors (e.g. Letrozole)The emotional and relational impact of untreated symptomsHow history, culture, and medical caution continue to shape women's access to careThe growing body of guidance suggesting low-dose vaginal hormones may be appropriate for many women, including after breast cancerThe balance between clinical responsibility and patient autonomyThis is not a black-and-white conversation. It's not about right or wrong.It's an invitation — to think, to question, and to open up more honest, informed conversations between patients and healthcare professionals.Because at its core, is it about choice?Links mentioned in this episode:You can find Dr Wright here: https://spicedpearhealth.co.uk/about/Sweetness of Venus: A history of the clitoris book https://www.amazon.co.uk/Sweetness-Venus-History-Clitoris/dp/B08W3NZ1H9Women's Health Made Easy Book: for Healthcare Professionals, click hereMore information about vaginal oestrogen after breast cancer: https://menopauseandcancer.org/navigating-vaginal-oestrogen-after-breast-cancer-what-every-woman-needs-to-know/Episode Highlights:00:00 Intro05:36 Doctor's journey and women's health08:17 Challenges of Menopause Treatment10:32 Debating hormone prescription guidelines14:25 Discussing medical trauma and autonomy18:19 Discussing bodily agency and benefits21:18 Reclaiming life after trauma24:31 Understanding compliance with endocrine therapies26:42 Valuing women's opinions in healthcare29:48 Discussing erectile dysfunction post-cancer34:39 Opening conversations on sexual healthConnect with us:For more information and resources visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Or follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub

Today, Amy and Jag look at a financial risk that is easy to ignore because it does not feel urgent in the moment: the cost of doing nothing. In this episode, we focus on how delays in financial decisions can quietly create long term consequences, especially for healthcare professionals who are used to acting quickly at work but may postpone choices in their own financial lives. The central idea is simple. Inaction is still a decision, and over time it can carry a real cost. Amy explains that many financial delays do not come with immediate pain. Income is still coming in, accounts still exist, and nothing appears broken. That makes it easy to leave cash uninvested, skip HSA contributions, ignore open enrollment changes, or delay insurance decisions. But time is often the thing being lost, and time can translate into large amounts of money. A $100,000 cash balance left sitting too long can mean missing tens of thousands of dollars in growth. Missed HSA contributions can reduce both tax savings and long term wealth. Idle cash spread across accounts may not seem serious until the total missed opportunity becomes clear. The episode also highlights timing windows that matter. Open enrollment, tax planning before year end, lower income years that create Roth conversion opportunities, and insurance decisions made while health is still favorable can all have meaningful financial impact. Amy gives several examples where waiting leads to higher taxes, less retirement savings, or insurance that becomes more expensive or unavailable. She also notes that rule changes can remove options people assumed would still be there later. A major theme in the conversation is that the biggest mistakes are often basic ones that never get revisited. People repeat the same benefits elections, forget to update beneficiaries, let cash build up unintentionally, and miss planning opportunities because nothing forces action. Amy stresses that beneficiary designations override a will, which makes that one of the fastest and most important items to review. She also emphasizes income protection through insurance and the importance of identifying unintentional cash balances. The practical advice is to start small and focus on what matters most. Review beneficiaries. Check insurance coverage. Look for idle cash. Make a short list of what has a deadline, what affects family, and what becomes more expensive if delayed. Amy suggests one or two intentional financial reviews each year, along with a pre year end tax check and regular check ins on the biggest issues. The message is not to do everything at once. It is to notice what has been sitting too long and move it forward. Doing nothing feels neutral, but it is often where the biggest hidden costs begin.

Welcome to this week's episode of Schauer Thoughts, we are continuing our discussion of May health observances, as well as why I think “whiny women” is the most IRONIC label and we'll also be touching on the emerging Hantavirus outbreak. Please make sure to check out all the resources below, it is important to stay informed *especially* as an American, considering *gestures to current administration.* I just want to take the time to say, if you have chronic pain, I absolutely believe you. The world has been cruel and made you hide, belittled you, gaslit you, and that is a massive load of BS. It is cruel, unfair, and outright wrong - I am sending you support, resources, and will continue researching and speaking out because no one should ever have to “suck it up.” Also, the part about getting advised by a group of people with pain medication addictions is a joking suggestion. However, it would behoove everyone to get acquainted with the addiction community, seeing as how a lot of these conversations involve us but do not actually involve us as individuals. -If you're tired of overthinking every interaction, try Hily Dating App. Download Hily Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.com — Book Resources — Tell Me Where It Hurts: The New Science of Pain and How to Heal - Rachel Zoffness, PhD ADHD: Body and Mind: A Compassionate Guide to Rewilding Your Nervous System with Neuroscience, Nutrition, and Gut-Brain Health - Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas An Elegant Defense: The Extraordinary New Science of the Immune System - Matt Richtel Attention: Beyond Mindfulness - Gay Watson Organ Speak: What It Really Means to Listen to Our Bodies - Giulia Enders — “Whiny Woman” & Laryngeal Manifestations Resources — The Whiny Woman, written by Dr. Mary Claire Haver, MD Role of the periaqueductal grey in vocal expression of emotion The role of the periaqueductal grey in vocal behavior Chronic Pain Syndromes and Their Laryngeal Manifestations Laryngeal Involvement in Connective Tissue Disorders.

“Writing meets you where you are. Writing can wrap itself around any situation you bring to it.” - Carolyn Roy-Bornstein, MDIn this rich conversation, host Dr. Jennifer Reid welcomes Dr. Carolyn Roy-Bornstein, pediatrician, former nurse, passionate advocate for narrative medicine, and author of A Prescription for Burnout: Restorative Writing for Healthcare Professionals. Together, they explore how reflective writing can serve as a genuine antidote to clinician burnout. Drawing on her own experience navigating her son's traumatic brain injury, decades of medical practice, and hundreds of writing workshops, Dr. Roy-Bornstein makes a compelling case that putting pain into language is not a luxury. It's a tool for life.

"Cancer and environmental disasters in particular, but the worsening of our environment, are really things that are great equalizers. And we recognize that we're all kind of in this world together. We can really face these issues on a more human level. I think always recognizing that if we look at something, we think, 'Well, that doesn't relate to me or that problem is it really isn't my problem'—it sure is," ONS member Margaret "Peggy" Rosenzweig, PhD, CRNP-C, AOCNP®, FAAN, ONS scholar-in-residence and distinguished service professor of nursing and Nancy Glunt Hoffman Chair in Oncology Nursing at the University of Pittsburgh School of Nursing in Pennsylvania told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about the effects of the environment on cancer care and outcomes.

Highlights From This Episode "The process of establishing these research priorities usually happens every three or so years. And there's a lot of preliminary work of talking to multiple parties of interest regarding what they believe the research priorities are, what nurses are seeing in clinics and in the community, and really multiple opinions regarding where the direction of research for ONS should go. And we heard this time—loud and clear—from researchers, from nurses in clinics and in communities, from scholars, and multiple other interested parties, that the environment in a very broad context was very much a concern and specifically a concern for impact on cancer care delivery, quality, and outcomes." TS 1:49 "You can take some cancer outcome data and you can take patient data related to home address or zip code or even larger geographic areas and kind of do correlational studies to see 'Does one impact the other?' … There's been a lot of those in the literature. But they are very helpful because they're starting to define this idea that beyond the idea of just demographics—gender, age, race—that the whole concept of neighborhood and the influences of the neighborhood do impact cancer outcomes. And that's where we're seeing the sort of explosion in literature across multiple malignancies, stages of cancer, and across multiple questions—specific kinds of outcomes, everything from quality of life to tumor progression." TS 8:43 "There is growing literature around how cancer delivery can be better prepared for climate-related disasters. … There's a good article by Pamela Ginex that was published in Supportive Care in Cancer talking about climate disasters and oncology care. And that was really a systematic review looking at published literature and starting to classify where are the disruptions and how could we think about that from a research perspective. They ended up saying there are these patient-level outcome disruptions that of course include treatment disruption but also include this inability to communicate with the oncology care team, which is quite distressing. And there's a workforce disruption because there are very distressed clinicians who are experiencing the same climate-related disaster in their own lives and feeling like they are torn between their commitment to work and their commitment to family." TS 13:25 "After all these years in oncology nursing, I am convinced that we have to get the consideration of neighborhood. I think we do have to get back to the neighborhood level in order to boost the resilience of communities against cancer throughout the cancer trajectory." TS 31:53 "Let's take some of this to the community and boost the community in that way. I really feel like we have to think about just boots on the ground outside of the cancer center, instead of just documenting disparities or even doing interventional work, but still within our little ivory towers." TS 34:21 "You see the work of many in looking at the specific environmental risks to nurses through the toxic chemicals to which were exposed. But then thinking about the people who aren't as protected as nurses and the environmental workers, who are usually contracted out or not in unions, who don't have some of the same protections that nurses or other healthcare workers might have, and they are exposed to the chemicals without proper training or sometimes without protection. All of these things are very much worthy of an oncology nursing voice elevating these questions and saying, 'How can we study this? How can we best mitigate some of these risks?' Oncology nursing—we have to use our respect and good name in elevating all of these questions." TS 35:39

America spends nearly double what the fourth-ranked country spends on healthcare per capita — and still ranks among the worst in outcomes. So what exactly are we paying for? In this episode of the Experiencing Healthcare Podcast, Jamie Preston and Your Health CEO Matt Staub examine what happens when healthcare gets treated like gasoline: something people expect to be available, can't easily compare on quality, and ultimately choose based on price or convenience. When brand and price stop mattering, the only differentiator left is how patients are made to feel — and whether they trust the person across from them enough to actually change. What you'll hear in this episode: Why Matt ranks service above outcomes and access — and the patient story that changed how he thinks about both The "Chick-fil-A problem": how your healthcare experience is now being compared to your best service experience anywhere, not just the clinic down the street What provider burnout really looks like when a clinician closes their notes at 11pm wondering if their patient listened How insurance billing creates distrust that bleeds directly into the patient-provider relationship — and what healthcare organizations can do about it Why the most caring thing a doctor can do sometimes feels like the worst customer service in the room If you've ever felt like a number in a waiting room — or if you've ever been the one trying to help someone who wouldn't listen — this conversation will stay with you. Press play.

Most organizations take their best performer, hand them a title, and call it a promotion. What they don't tell that person is that everything that made them great at their job is now working against them. In this first installment of a two-part conversation, Jamie sits down with Matt Whitehead — Chief Ancillary Officer at Your Health — to explore one of the most overlooked transitions in healthcare leadership: the shift from being an exceptional doer to becoming a leader others will actually follow. In this episode: Why the moment Matt stepped into his first nursing home administrator role cracked the foundation of everything he thought he knew about leadership The dangerous myth that new leaders walk in as "instant experts" — and how that belief causes their teams to start managing them Why the dopamine hit of checking things off a to-do list disappears in leadership, and what you have to build to replace it How to delegate without losing your mind — and why being crystal clear on outcomes matters more than anything else Why conflict is never a problem to be eliminated — it's information to be used This episode is for every high-performer who has stepped into a leadership role and felt the ground shift beneath them. You're not alone — and it's not a flaw. It's the beginning. www.YourHealth.Org

In this episode of ThimbleberryU, we explore the concept of building and maintaining confidence under uncertainty, especially for healthcare professionals who are already accustomed to high-stress environments. The financial world often mirrors the unpredictability of healthcare. Policy changes, staffing shortages, and burnout are compounded by volatile markets and alarming news cycles. Our focus is not on prediction, but on creating confidence through structured, thoughtful planning.We start by addressing how fear-driven headlines can tempt people into making financial decisions based on emotion. Amy reminds us that headlines are built to provoke urgency, not provide clarity. Market fear is often noise, not rooted in personal financial change. Reacting impulsively often locks in losses and increases risk. That's why we advocate for responsible inaction, a deliberate choice to stay the course unless personal circumstances demand a change.A strong financial plan assumes uncertainty. It's not built for calm seas, but for the real-world storms. That means including flexibility for job changes, a sufficient cash buffer, and the ability to adapt without starting over. Confidence grows from knowing your plan already factors in the unpredictable. It's not about guessing what's next. It's about trusting the structure you've created.We dig into the concept of guardrails. These are rules and pre-decisions made in calmer moments to help reduce decision fatigue. Healthcare professionals already follow protocols in their daily work, and the same concept applies to finances. These protocols guide us through emotionally charged situations and help prevent impulsive, regrettable moves.Cash plays a unique role in confidence. For healthcare professionals, cash isn't just an emergency buffer; it's emotional relief. It offers flexibility, covers transition periods, and acts as a cushion during market downturns. However, it's also important to avoid extremes. Too little cash creates anxiety, while too much slows growth. The right amount depends on career phase, income variability, and life responsibilities.We close with the reminder that certainty isn't the goal. Resilience is. When a plan is built to withstand real life, it allows money to support your lifestyle, not compete for your attention. That's where true confidence comes from.(00:00) - Intro: Confidence Under Uncertainty(00:47) - Why Healthcare Professionals Are Feeling Financial Strain(01:25) - The Emotional Impact of Headlines(02:12) - Market Fear vs. Personal Risk(03:08) - What “Doing Nothing” Really Means(04:51) - Is Your Financial Plan Built for Real Life?(06:04) - Guardrails and Reducing Decision Fatigue(07:30) - The Role of Cash in Building Confidence(10:48) - Cash as a Confidence Tool, Not a Cop-Out(11:00) - Final Thoughts: Confidence Comes from Structure(11:33) - How to Connect with Thimbleberry Financial To get in touch with Amy and her team at Thimbleberry Financial, call 503-610-6510 or visit thimbleberryfinancial.com.The ThimbleberryU Podcast is produced by JAG Podcast Productions - https://jagpodcastproductions.com/

Legislation would mean hospitals could no longer use contracts to limit where clinicians work after leaving a job.

Host Dr. Mike Chupp and regular co-host Dr. Brick Lantz put together a special Q&A episode that steps away from the usual interview format to engage directly with the real questions CMDA members are asking. Drawing from ongoing advocacy and ethics conversations, as well as dialogue emerging through The Point of Medicine, they walk through practical, on-the-ground scenarios Christian healthcare professionals are facing today, from conscience protections and difficult clinical decisions to mentoring, grief, identity, and when (and how) to pray with patients. This conversation centers on what it looks like to speak truth with compassion while caring well for every person entrusted to us.

Dr. Sandra Hassink is joined by Dr. Joey Skelton, a professor of pediatrics, and of epidemiology and prevention, at Wake Forest University School of Medicine.

Jessica Guthrie joins host Ron Aaron and co-host Carol Zernail to talk about how healthcare professionals can better partner with family caregivers on this edition of Caregiver SOS.

Ten years ago, the Dietitian Connection (DC) podcast started with a simple idea and a big belief in the power of dietitians. This month we're celebrating 10 years of the DC Podcast with a very special reflective episode.   Back in January 2016, DC was a community of just over 4,000 members, supported by a small group of passionate volunteers. Today, it's a global network of 57,000 dietitians, backed by a dedicated team across Australia and the US.   In this anniversary episode, Maree Ferguson is joined by Kate Agnew (one of DC's early contributors), to reflect on what's changed over the past decade. From the evolution of dietetics and technology (including the rise of AI), to leadership lessons, personal growth, and building connection in a virtual world.   It's a conversation about courage, community, and what's possible when you're willing to start before you have all the answers.

In this episode, we explore the emotional and structural challenges that come with transitioning from a lifetime of saving to actually spending in retirement. We focus especially on healthcare professionals—nurses, physicians, and leaders—who have spent their careers making cautious, life-impacting decisions and who now face a very different kind of responsibility: using the money they've carefully built.We start by recognizing how identity plays a major role. Many in healthcare see themselves as protectors and planners. Saving becomes a symbol of safety, and shifting to spending can feel like breaking an internal rule. With the end of scheduled shifts and steady paychecks, many experience a sense of floating—losing the rhythm they've followed for decades. We clarify that this unease is normal, not a sign of poor planning, but a psychological adjustment.We emphasize that the solution lies in structure. By creating an income plan that mimics the regularity of a paycheck, we restore the stability many retirees need. We walk through how to assemble an “income playbook”—a way to integrate pensions, IRAs, 403(b)s, HSAs, and savings into a cohesive plan. Each account gets a role, whether it's for essentials or discretionary goals, and cash buffers protect against market swings. Automation is key here—turning on scheduled withdrawals and tax withholding brings back the rhythm retirees are used to.We also break down the concept of retirement into phases: go-go, slow-go, and no-go years. Spending shifts naturally, so we help clients build flexibility into their plans. Travel and hobbies may define the early years, while later stages often involve more home time or increased healthcare costs. By projecting different scenarios and using guardrails, we help people make confident adjustments as life evolves.Throughout, we stress that it's okay to spend what you've saved. Retirement isn't about hoarding your wealth—it's about enjoying the life you worked hard to build. We suggest starting with a snapshot of your financial picture, visualizing what your days might look like, and even running a test month on future income to see how it feels. Ultimately, retirement is about shifting into a new, well-supported identity—one that still reflects who you are but in a new chapter of life.

In this episode of ThimbleberryU, we dive into the growing challenge facing healthcare professionals—the balancing act of caring for aging parents while still preparing for their own retirement. We're talking directly to those in the “sandwich generation,” especially nurses, physicians, and hospital leaders who are used to caregiving professionally and now find themselves extending that care to family.We explore how this dual role adds emotional and financial weight. Many healthcare professionals become the “go-to” child in the family, shouldering time off work, travel, coordination, and often direct financial support. But as Amy reminds us, we can't pour from an empty cup. Our ability to help others long-term depends on preserving our own financial health first.We talk through the major financial decisions that come up—care settings for aging parents, sibling coordination, insurance gaps, and legal documents. There's often an assumption that Medicare will cover long-term care, but it doesn't, which leads to unexpected financial strain. Amy also highlights the importance of separating finances, documenting contributions, and maintaining clear records to protect relationships and ensure fairness.A major theme we come back to is boundaries. Just like in an emergency on an airplane, we must put on our own oxygen mask first. For financial health, that means building a plan for ourselves before helping our parents. That clarity allows us to make better decisions, communicate expectations with siblings, and avoid jeopardizing our own retirement.We also recognize the strengths healthcare professionals already bring—assessment, planning, communication, and monitoring. These are the same skills needed to manage a family's financial and care responsibilities. Amy urges listeners to apply their professional mindset to this personal challenge.Finally, we lay out five concrete next steps: gain financial clarity for both generations, start those tough conversations early, prioritize your own retirement, coordinate insurance and estate planning, and build a team of advisors, including financial planners and elder law attorneys. Sustainable care means both generations are supported—and planning ahead is the only way to get there.00:00 - Intro00:14 - The Sandwich Generation in Healthcare00:49 - Emotional and Financial Weight of Caregiving02:24 - Financial Decisions When Parents Need Support04:59 - Sibling Dynamics and Hidden Costs05:48 - Helping Without Sacrificing Your Retirement08:33 - Applying Professional Skills to Family Finances10:42 - Five Concrete Next Steps12:21 - Sustainable Care Across Generations12:42 - How to Contact Thimbleberry Financial To get in touch with Amy and her team at Thimbleberry Financial, call 503-610-6510 or visit thimbleberryfinancial.com.
