In this solo episode, Chanie Wilschanski unpacks Three Money Truths every school leader must face in 2025.If your classrooms are full, your team is in place, and your calendar is set but you're still feeling financial, mental, and emotional pressure you're not doing anything wrong. You're likely experiencing what Chanie calls survival success: a quiet, creeping strain that comes from hitting the ceiling of patchwork fixes and short-term wins.This conversation is about moving beyond band-aid growth and into strategic, sustainable school leadership, where predictable rhythms, financial clarity, and strong operational systems replace last-minute scrambles and constant firefighting.Whether you lead an early childhood center or a private school, these truths will challenge you to shift from short-term relief to long-term stability, without burning out yourself or your team.What You'll LearnThe difference between band-aid growth and strategic growth in school operationsWhy 2024 bought you time, but not long-term stabilityHow fear-based pricing undermines your school's financial healthWhy delayed investments act as invisible debt on your school leadershipHow predictable rhythms replace burnout-driven decision-makingThe mindset shift needed to lead with clarity instead of constant reactionKey Insights2024 Bought You Time, Not StabilityLast year's cost cuts, tuition increases, and hiring sprints were survival moves—not long-term solutions. Without predictable systems for tuition planning, role clarity, and expense strategy, the same cracks will reappear.Fear Isn't Frugal, It's ExpensiveAvoiding tuition increases because of last year's pushback keeps you stuck in fear-based pricing. Strategic pricing includes clear messaging, timing, and parent education—so your value drives your rates, not anxiety.Delayed Investments Create Invisible DebtPostponing hires, system upgrades, or automation drains time, energy, and capacity—even if your QuickBooks doesn't show it. Relief doesn't come from cutting support; it comes from building a team and systems you can trust.Try This Instead: From Band-Aid Growth to Strategic GrowthTuition Strategy: Build a review schedule for market positioning and messaging so increases are planned, not reactive.Hiring Pipeline: Create clear role definitions and accountability systems for every hire.Expense Efficiency: Review financials on a set schedule to guide decisions based on data, not panic.Operational Rhythms: Design rhythms you can return to when circumstances shift, because they always will.Memorable Quotes:“Survival success doesn't announce itself—it's a slow suffocation.”“You're not failing. You're outgrowing patchwork.”“Fear-based pricing will cost you far more than a rate increase ever will.”“Cash hoarding isn't leadership—delayed investments are invisible debt.”Why This Matters for School LeadersEnds the cycle of scrambling and short-term fixesBuilds school operations that support long-term sustainable growthReduces burnout and decision fatigue for leaders and teamsProtects your school culture from instability and fear-driven choicesPositions your school to adapt confidently in changing marketsResources & Next StepsWant to identify the hidden drains on your school's profit? Join Chanie next week for a new series on The Six Money Leaks, where she'll walk you through the most common areas schools lose revenue and exactly what to do about them.

You've done everything right — balanced hormones, optimized your diet, reduced stress, worked with the best fertility specialists — maybe even tried IVF… and still, no pregnancy. It's devastating, confusing, and exhausting. But what if the missing link is something you've never even considered: mold and mycotoxins?Many couples struggling with infertility have explored every conventional and integrative option—hormone balancing, dietary changes, lifestyle upgrades, even IVF—yet still find themselves without answers. In this eye-opening conversation, Dr. Nafysa Parpia reveals one of the most under-discussed factors that could be standing in the way: chronic mold and mycotoxin exposure.Dr. Parpia explains how mold-related toxins can trigger persistent inflammation, disrupt hormone regulation, impact egg and sperm quality, and even mimic estrogen in the body. She outlines the connection between mold, the microbiome, and fertility—both for women and men—and why symptoms can be surprisingly “random” and often overlooked.Dr Nafysa Parpia is the Director of Naturopathic Medicine at Gordon Medical and specializes in treating patients with complex chronic illness who have diagnoses such as autoimmunity, fibromyalgia, Long Haul COVID, ME/CFS, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. Often, these diagnoses are caused by a combination of tick-borne illness, environmental exposures, mold/mycotoxins, stress, and emotional history.In this deep-dive interview, we explore how toxic mold exposure can silently undermine reproductive health in both women and men, often leaving standard fertility tests looking “normal” while the body is trapped in a loop of inflammation and hormonal chaos.You'll discover:Why mold is a fertility disruptor — from hormone imbalance to egg/sperm quality changesThe “cell danger response” and how chronic inflammation keeps your body in defense mode, not conception modeEstrogen-mimicking mycotoxins and their role in estrogen overloadHow mold exposure affects the microbiome and in turn reproductive healthWhy chronic sinus infections & allergies can be a hidden reproductive health problemThe top at-home and clinical mold tests: ERMI, MicroGen DX, allergy testing, mycotoxin panelsThe exact steps an expert uses to assess mold impact — from home inspection to advanced lab diagnosticsHow mold issues often overlap with Lyme, chronic infections, and environmental toxinsWhy men's fertility is equally impacted — from low testosterone to erectile dysfunctionTakeaway: If you've been on the fertility journey and feel like you've hit a dead end, exploring mold and mycotoxins could be the breakthrough you've been missing.Resources & Mentions in This Episode:ERMI Test (Environmental Relative Moldiness Index)MicroGen DX sinus swab testingEnvironmental professionals like Michael SchrantzBindings agents, antifungal herbs, detox support strategiesChapters: 0:00 Intro 2:15 Why mold is rarely considered in fertility workups 7:42 How inflammation from mold derails hormones 15:10 Chronic sinus infections & hypothalamus connection 22:55 Mold testing: home & body diagnostics 30:48 Overlap with Lyme and other infections 39:12 Mold's effect on male fertility 48:20 Personalized treatment protocols for complex cases Follow Dr...

When we think about digital tools and technology, we think of them as moving fast. Katie Drasser, CEO of Rock Health, joins me to discuss what a “slow tech” approach to health innovation could look like. It would ground innovation in participatory design, build community trust and aim for long term impact, not just rapid scaling.We discuss:How she's working to fix the broken investment cycle for women's healthWhy impact—not just return—should guide the future of health innovationThe big differentiator for youth mental health companies? Kids are at the table Katie reminds us that designing for the most overlooked ends up helping everyone:“There's that theory – the curb cut theory – [that says] if you design for the most marginalized, if you design for the most overlooked, it's actually better for everybody. And so… how might we design for those most left out? And actually, the folks that are always included would actually benefit too.”Relevant LinksVisit the Rock Health websiteListen to Podcast episode with Katie Drasser and Carolyn WitteRead the Rock Health report on women as digital health consumersCheck out MindRight Health's website - the youth mental health texting resource Katie mentioned in this episodeAbout Our GuestKatie is an entrepreneurial leader committed to equality and justice who has launched groundbreaking, inclusive programs that address complex global issues with a focus on public health innovation and the role of innovative financing and leadership in systems change.

In this insightful episode, Molly sits down once again with Dr. Brooke Scheller, clinical nutritionist and founder of Functional Sobriety, to discuss one of the most buzzed-about topics in the health and wellness space: GLP-1 medications (like Ozempic and Wegovy). Originally developed for treating Type 2 diabetes and now widely prescribed for weight loss, these drugs are increasingly being talked about for their potential to reduce alcohol cravings.Together, Molly and Dr. Scheller unpack the growing curiosity (and concern) surrounding the off-label use of GLP-1s by those trying to moderate or change their drinking habits. They dive deep into both the science and the speculation—discussing small but intriguing studies, anecdotal feedback from clients and community members, and what it really means to find a “magic pill” for reducing desire.But this episode doesn't stop at surface-level discussion. They explore the bigger picture: sustainable behavior change, the role of nutrition in alcohol use, and whether it's possible to replicate the effects of GLP-1s with food, lifestyle, and mindset shifts alone.What You'll Learn in This Episode:What GLP-1 medications are and how they workWhy they might reduce alcohol cravings—and what the science says so farWho might benefit most from GLP-1s—and who should be cautiousCommon side effects and risks associated with these drugsNatural strategies to support craving reduction and metabolic healthWhy addressing core beliefs about alcohol is critical to long-term changeLinks & Resources Mentioned:Dr. Brooke Scheller's program: Functional SobrietyDr. Scheller's book: How to Eat to Change How You DrinkConnect with Molly: Website: www.mollywatts.com Instagram: @alcoholminimalist Join the Private Facebook Community: “Alcohol Minimalists: Change Your Drinking Habits”Want to Change Your Drinking?

So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

But what if that story is incomplete—or even misleading?In this episode, I sit down with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Andy Bush, who has shifted his focus from fixing fractures to preventing them.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. David Klurfeld—longtime USDA scientist and one of the few insiders to publicly challenge the WHO's classification of red meat as a carcinogen. We go deep into the flawed evidence behind the infamous 2015 IARC report, why nutritional epidemiology often fails to prove causality, and how a small group of researchers helped shape global policy with low-quality science. If you've ever felt confused about meat, saturated fat, or dietary guidelines, this conversation will help you think critically about what “counts” as evidence—and who gets to decide. We cover:Dr. Klurfeld's personal journey and lessons from a career in public healthWhy the 2015 IARC red meat classification was based on weak and inconsistent evidenceHow observational studies and “allegiance bias” mislead nutrition scienceThe politics of dietary guidelines and the role of the USDA and WHOWhat the media got wrong—and why red meat remains a nutrient-dense foodWhether you're a clinician, dietitian, or simply trying to make better nutrition decisions, this episode is a powerful reminder that bias, groupthink and weak data can distort science and mislead the public. We need to be discerning about the nutrition and health advice we follow. Who is Dr. David Klurfeld?Dr. David Klurfeld is a nutritional scientist and former National Program Leader for Human Nutrition at the USDA's Agricultural Research Service. He also served as Professor and Chair of Nutrition and Food Science at Wayne State University and Associate Editor of The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition. He has authored more than 200 scientific publications and was one of 22 experts invited to the 2015 IARC working group on red meat and cancer.

When we visit the doctor, we routinely measure blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, weight, and heart rate.  For years, we've known that early life experiences—especially stress and adversity—leave long-lasting marks on the nervous system. But we rarely stop to ask: How can we see those marks?That's where the eye comes in. Why the Eye Reveals the BrainThe corneal nerve plexus is a dense network of sensory nerves at the front of the eye. It's part of the peripheral nervous system, which connects directly to the brain.Emerging research shows that these corneal nerves reflect the state of the broader nervous system, including:Stress loadInflammatory markersNeurodegenerative changesIn other words: When we look at the eye, we're not just seeing vision structures—we're seeing a living map of how the brain and body have been shaped over time. I had the fortunate opportunity to do study leave at UC Berkeley in the School of Optometry and Vision Sciences, a research project with Drs Katie Edwards and Luisa Holguin Colorado  and Kerri Gillepie at QUT and Dr Suzanne Fleiszig  and Dr David Evans at UC Berkeley.Why Isn't Nervous System Analysis Routine?Here's the bigger question.When we visit the doctor, we routinely measure blood pressure, cholesterol, glucose, weight, and heart rate. But the nervous system—the control center of our entire body—is rarely assessed in standard care.Why?We know that chronic stress increases risk for mental illness, metabolic disease, cardiovascular conditions, and cognitive decline. We know that early life stress reshapes neural pathways and immune responses. Yet we lack accessible, affordable, and scalable tools to routinely check the health of the nervous system.That's what makes the eye so exciting. It offers a non-invasive, real-time window into nervous system health—and a chance to shift medicine toward prevention and early detection, rather than just reacting to crisis.In this episode we discuss:How the eye reveals hidden stressWhat we're learning about the links between early life adversity and neural healthWhy public engagement is critical as we develop these new toolsThis is a conversation not just for scientists, but for everyone who cares about mental health, brain health, and the future of healthcare. I'd love to hear what excites or concerns you about this emerging field. When we truly see how early life shapes the brain, we can no longer treat people as just symptoms or diagnoses.It opens a new kind of care: Asking what happened to you? not just what's wrong? Making nervous system health part of routine care Prioritising prevention, resilience, and healingBy measuring the hidden imprints of experience, we can design treatments that help rewire the brain, not just manage symptoms.This isn't just science. It's a transformation in how we care for people.Let's build that future, together. Support the showSubscribe and support the podcast at https://www.buzzsprout.com/367319/supporters/newLearn more at www.profselenabartlett.com

If you've ever felt anxious, overwhelmed, or like you're stuck in patterns you can't explain—this episode is for you. You're not broken. You're not failing. You're simply disconnected from the truth of who you really are.In this deeply moving conversation, Dr. Dan Siegel—world-renowned psychiatrist, neuroscientist, and bestselling author—joins Raj to reveal the science of reconnection. Together, they uncover how trauma, culture, and outdated ideas of the "self" have fractured our inner world—and how we can reclaim wholeness, purpose, and power.This isn't just about mental health. This is about healing the disconnection between your mind, your body, and something bigger.In this episode, you'll learn:The revolutionary COAL framework: Curiosity, Openness, Acceptance & Love—and how it transforms your nervous systemWhy the Western idea of "self as individual body" is literally killing us—and what quantum physics reveals about who you really areThe 3 pillars of mindfulness that create measurable changes in your DNA, immune system, and longevityHow forgiveness is actually "giving up all hope for a different past"—and why this sets you freeThe difference between chaos, rigidity, and the "FACES flow" of optimal mental healthWhy uncertainty isn't something to fear—it's the portal to infinite possibility and freedomDr. Siegel's daily Wheel of Awareness practice that grounds him and connects the quantum realm to everyday lifeHow integration (differentiating while linking) is the secret to thriving relationships, brain health, and planetary healingWhy this moment of global disorganization might be humanity's "caterpillar to butterfly" transformationThe scientific truth that we're all emergences from the same source of possibility—and how living this changes everythingThis episode is a roadmap back to wholeness—backed by decades of research and delivered with profound compassion.

Together, they unpack the systemic challenges, discuss the gaps within both medical and mental health professions, and offer practical guidance for individuals seeking quality care. This episode is a frank, informative, and urgent call to action for reform, evidenced-based training, and public advocacy.Key Topics Discussed:Introduction to Dr. Robert Smith and his groundbreaking work in patient-centered mental health carePersonal "anxious moments" shared by the hosts and Dr. SmithThe critical shortcomings of mental health training in medical education: only 2% focus on mental healthWhy 75% of mental health care is delivered by undertrained primary care physicians and the dangerous consequencesThe disconnect between medical training and real-world mental health needsThe role and limitations of psychiatrists, psychologists, and counselors in current care modelsThe prevalence of unregulated and unlicensed mental health support, including concerns with life coachesThe need for integrated, supervised, and evidence-based mental health training for all medical providers including nurse practitioners and PAsThe impact of untreated mental health disorders on physical health, medical outcomes, and healthcare costsDr. Smith's advocacy for a national investigation and systemic reform, inspired by historical public health movementsPractical advice for patients on advocating for themselves and seeking appropriate referralsClarifying the importance of specialized, evidence-based mental health care and how to identify qualified providersHopeful strategies and self-help practices individuals can engage in while systemic changes take placeNotable Quotes & Moments:“Seventy-five percent of all mental health care in the US is provided by primary care docs like me.

It's not. And medicine isn't doing anything about it.” — Dr. Robert Smith [06:50]“Mental health clinicians are often trained in non-evidence-based interventions.

Episode OverviewIn this episode of Fempower Health, we break down one of the most common—and misunderstood—conditions women face after menopause: Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM).Often referred to by symptoms like vaginal dryness, painful sex, burning with urination, or frequent UTIs, GSM affects nearly half of postmenopausal women. Yet many women are never told it has a name—let alone that it's treatable.We're unpacking what the new 2025 GSM guidelines reveal, and why they mark a turning point in how clinicians should diagnose and treat this condition.What You'll LearnWhat Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM) really meansHow GSM symptoms impact vaginal, sexual, and urinary healthWhy vaginal estrogen is a frontline treatment, even with systemic HRTCommon myths about lubricants, moisturizers, and “just aging”The difference between managing GSM vs. masking itWhy GSM often goes unaddressed in clinical settings—and what needs to changeWhat the 2025 guidelines clarify for patients and providers alikeHow untreated GSM can impact confidence, relationships, and even career performanceWhy This MattersToo often, women's health is narrowly defined as periods, pregnancy, and menopause hot flashes. But vaginal and urinary health after menopause deserves equal attention.Whether you're a patient, provider, or policymaker, understanding GSM is essential to changing the conversation around what midlife care really looks like.Related ResourcesRead Burning, Dryness, Pain?

Dr. Li shares his unique approach to understanding disease through common denominators like blood vessels and gut health, explaining how our microbiome communicates directly with our immune system, brain, and virtually every bodily function.
