When food starts to feel tense, restrictive, or obsessive at home, it can send a parent into panic fast.In observation of National Eating Disorder Awareness Week, Dr. Becky sits down with Dr. Erin Parks, Chief Clinical Officer at Equip Health, to talk about eating disorders and disordered eating in kids and teens—what the early signs look like, what's happening emotionally underneath, and how parents can respond without escalating shame or control struggles.Eating disorders affect an estimated 30 million Americans in their lifetime. They are common. They are serious. And they are not caused by “bad parenting.” In this episode, we cover: Early warning signs of eating disorders in kids and teens (including boys) When “healthy eating” becomes rigid or concerning The role of perfectionism and control How diet culture shows up in family language What shame sounds like inside a teen's head How to hold boundaries around health without turning food into a power struggle When it's time to seek professional help Disordered eating behaviors are not about vanity or defiance—they're often attempts to regulate overwhelming feelings. This conversation will help you feel more oriented, more compassionate, and clearer about your role.Equip Health is a sponsor of Good Inside's new Teen podcast.

Is the gig economy really destroying professional pet care businesses, or are we misunderstanding the market entirely? We share how the pet care industry hasn't collapsed into a single low-price marketplace, but instead has segmented into distinct tiers. We explore the four layers of pet care—from exchange-based arrangements to structured professional teams—and what motivates clients in each one. It's critical to understand why competing across tiers leads to pricing conflicts, operational strain, and unclear messaging. Most importantly, we look at how clarity about your position in the market allows you to serve your clients exceptionally well instead of defensively reacting to everyone else. Main topics: Four-tier market framework Client priorities by segment Gig economy misconceptions Strategic positioning clarity Competing within your tier Main takeaway: In a segmented market, success does not come from competing everywhere. It comes from serving your tier exceptionally well and better than anybody else. If you feel like you're competing with every sitter, every app, every neighbor, and every daycare in town… you're going to feel exhausted. The reality is that the pet care industry isn't one flat marketplace. It's layered. Different clients want different things. Cost savings. Convenience. Relationship. Risk reduction. When you stop trying to appeal to every tier, your pricing gets clearer. Your messaging gets sharper. And your operations get stronger. Clarity is not just comforting. It's strategic.

Amy and Kat open with a sweet note from Kari, a listener sharing a unique discovery: a suction-cup window birdhouse that allows for a front-row seat to nature without disturbing the nest. She also shares one of her favorite takeaways from the podcast: "never suppressing a generous thought." Amy then reminds us about the “Blessings Jar” that Kat gave her a few years ago! Such a good gift idea if you need something special for a friend. Speaking of friends, we need to be hanging out with our people more because a Geriatric Psychologist said this: “Stop waiting to feel social. You do not wait to feel inspired to brush your teeth. Socializing after 40 is no longer entertainment; it is Cognitive Maintenance. You must force interactions with the same cold discipline you use for a mortgage payment. If you do not pay the social rent, your reality eventually gets evicted." This leads to a conversation about @monthlymomsclub gatherings that Amy gets invited to—and how she NEEDS to start attending for “cognitive maintenance." Tracy in Denver sent a voicemail sharing a transformative "mother-daughter" breakthrough that shifted their relationship from friction to connection: the simple act of asking, "Are you calling to vent, or are you calling for advice?" Amy and Kat discuss how this one question can save relationships, prevent "toe-stepping," and ensure everyone gets exactly what they need.

In today's episode, Gina describes how movement can help us in our anxiety recovery, and also how intense movement can work against it. A number of slower, gentler forms of movement and exercised are recommended for realizing the benefits of exercise without risking excessive cortisol release and increasing anxiety. Strenuous exercise does have a place, but it is recommended to be selective with using it, especially during anxiety recovery.Stillpoint Fridays is my once-a-week Friday note — a slower, more personal reflection that's different from what I share on the podcast.

While we've often leaned on the mantra that moving our bodies is a remedy for stress, today I invite you to reconsider the intensity of those workouts. Many people find themselves feeling wired and edgy after a high-intensity session rather than the calm they anticipated—this is not a personal failing. It's essential to understand that when we push our already stressed nervous systems beyond their capacity, we may inadvertently exacerbate our feelings of anxiety.We live in a culture that idolizes rigorous training and relentless commitment to fitness, often overlooking the unique needs of our bodies and minds. When the body is subjected to intense workouts while already managing elevated levels of cortisol, the experience can feel less like a beneficial challenge and more like an added threat. The physiological response triggers a cycle of heightened stress chemistry, leading to difficulties in sleeping, increased irritability, and an overall sense of being overwhelmed.I emphasize the importance of recognizing movement not solely as an endeavor to achieve goals but as a signal to our nervous systems. Intense exercise may communicate urgency and threat, whereas gentler, rhythmic movements convey safety and calm. Activities like slow walking, gentle yoga, or even tasks like gardening, provide a stabilizing rhythm that can nurture the mind and body. This perspective shifts the narrative from one of intensity to one of attunement—listening to our bodies and responding to their needs.#AnxietyRelief #NervousSystemRegulation #GinaRyan #AnxietyCoachesPodcast #CortisolControl #VagusNerveHealing #MindfulMovement #TiredButWired #GentleMovement #SomaticHealing #MentalHealthAwareness #WalkingForHealth #LowImpactFitness #BodyAttunement #StressManagement #VagalTone #BilateralStimulation #RestorativeFitness #HolisticHealing #ListenToYourBody #MorningAnxiety #BurnoutRecovery #MindBodyConnection #SelfCareDaily #MentalWellness #CalmMind #YogaForAnxiety #Overstimulation #SlowLiving #PeaceAndCalm #ACPSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If you ask most people what is the core of learning, they will give you something banal like hard work or practise; however, they will also state that you need to get feedback. The problem is that feedback almost never has the necessary impact. The reason why it fails to help us move forward is because of the timing. What we need is not feedback but instant feedback. But why is instant feedback far superior than just feedback alone? Let's find out.

Your brain isn't breaking. It's rewiring in ways no one explained, and for many women, menopause is the moment everything suddenly feels unfamiliar.Brain fog, sleep disruption, anxiety, memory lapses, and feeling unlike yourself can be deeply unsettling, especially when no one has given you a framework for what's happening. In this conversation, we explore the science behind midlife brain changes and why menopause is a neurological transition, not a personal failure.Dr. Lisa Mosconi is an associate professor of Neuroscience in Neurology and Radiology at Weill Cornell Medicine and director of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program and the Women's Brain Initiative.

You know that feeling when you say, “He helps.” He does chores. He shows up. He's not checked out. And yet… you're still exhausted. If that's you, you are not ungrateful. You are not asking for too much. And you are not broken. In this episode, JoAnn sits down with comedian, actor, and author Jordan Carlos to talk about invisible work in marriage — what it really is, why “helping” still leaves one partner carrying the mental load, and what true responsibility sharing actually looks like in everyday family life. Because the problem isn't whether the dishes get done. The problem is who is still managing the fact that they need to get done. Jordan shares candidly about his own marriage, how COVID forced him to see the invisible labor his wife was carrying, and the mindset shift that moved him from “assistant” to actual partner. This conversation is honest, funny, and practical — and it will help you rethink how responsibility lives in your home. What We Cover in This Episode 1. What Invisible Work Really Is Invisible work isn't just chores. It's tracking schedules, noticing when you're low on toothpaste, remembering spirit days, and managing the emotional temperature of the house. When one partner carries the mental load — even if the other “helps” — burnout and resentment quietly build. 2. Why “Helping” Keeps One Person in Charge When someone helps, there is still a manager. Delegating Noticing Reminding Carrying responsibility if something falls through Jordan talks about the moment he realized he was “redundant” in his own home — and how that realization changed everything. 3. The Resentment Signal Resentment doesn't show up overnight. It builds in the sighs, the tension, and the feeling of being alone in daily life. Small shifts — like doing things without being asked — can dramatically lower that emotional temperature. 4. Responsibility Sharing vs. 50/50 What's equal isn't always fair. And what's fair isn't always equal. True partnership isn't about splitting every task down the middle. It's about shared ownership. It's about both adults seeing the home as theirs to steward. Jordan shares how stepping into responsibility — not waiting for instructions — shifted his marriage in meaningful ways. 5. Why Self-Care Supports Partnership When both partners take care of themselves, they show up better in the relationship. Responsibility sharing doesn't mean depletion. It means two adults who are capable, aware, and engaged. Why This Episode Matters So many overwhelmed moms feel guilty for wanting more support. “He does a lot already.” “I don't want to nag.” “Maybe this is just marriage.” But when invisible work stays invisible, emotional disconnection grows. This episode gives language to what you may have been feeling for years. It also gives you a starting place — not to control your partner, but to shift how responsibility is shared in your home. Partnership isn't about doing more. It's about no longer carrying it alone.

Send a textWhen a split-second choice could become tomorrow's headline, how do you stay human under the uniform? We sit down with former deputy sheriff turned coach and author AK Dozanti to unpack the real toll of first responder life—and the science-backed tools that help you heal without losing your edge.AK traces a rare path: undercover ICAC work at 19, road patrol, officer of the year, rapid burnout, then a pivot into victim advocacy, graduate study in criminology and victimology, yoga teacher training, and ultimately a mission to coach police, fire, EMS, and dispatch. She shares how early suicide losses set a hidden baseline for stress, why trauma is a near-universal experience rather than a diagnosis, and how high-velocity calls collide with a nervous system built for survival, not perfection. We break down the biology of stress—adrenaline surges, the brainstem's grip, and the prefrontal cortex going offline—and show how that clashes with modern expectations: body cams rolling, phones pointed, pristine Miranda, and zero room for error.We also tackle the weight of public narratives: how one viral failure can stain an entire profession, how ambushes and doxxing amplify hypervigilance, and why the “off switch” at home can be the hardest skill of all. AK offers practical, field-tested resets for the nervous system—slow exhale breathing, orienting, grounding through the feet, and micro-recoveries between calls—along with culture shifts leaders can make today: protect days off, normalize precise language around suicide, include dispatch in wellness training, and reward process over speed. The goal isn't spin; it's operational readiness and human dignity.If you serve on the front lines or love someone who does, this conversation gives you language, tools, and hope.

Fact Detail Profession Photojournalist & documentary photographer Career span 50+ years (1960s‑present) Focus Social issues – child poverty, racism, civil rights Notable achievements Testified before the U.S. Senate (1986), 42 museum collections, 12 monographs (e.g., Power to the People, Outside the Dream), new book Stephen Shames – A Lifetime in Photography – Purchase Directly with Autograph and Print from Stephen via eBay HERE Key collaborations Black Panther leader Bobby Seale, New York Times reporter Earl Caldwell, various grassroots organizations How Stephen Shames Discovered Photography College activism – While studying at UC Berkeley during the 1960s, he witnessed the civil‑rights movement and anti‑Vietnam protests. First camera purchase – After hitch‑hiking to New York's East Village, he bought a camera at a pawn shop. Choosing the “artist of the movement” – Frustrated by student‑government politics, he decided to capture the larger picture rather than be a “politician.” “I just wanted to look at the big picture and try and move people with photography.” Working with the Black Panther Party Why the Panthers Accepted a White Photographer Shared goals – Economic and social justice, not just race. Pragmatism – Panthers needed allies outside the Black community to build coalitions (Peace & Freedom Party, Young Lords, Young Patriots). Personal connection – Bobby Seale liked Shames's images and invited him to use them in the Panther newspaper. Key Facts About the Panthers (From the Interview) Founded: October 1966 (initially ~20 members). National expansion: Post‑1968, 10,000+ members, 50‑60 chapters. Community programs: “Breakfast for School Children,” feeding 10,000+ kids daily. Self‑defense model: Legal gun ownership (California) + law books; later, they shifted to “cameras are better weapons.” Lesson for Photographers Build trust by aligning with a group's mission, not merely your identity. Stephen Shames Research‑First Approach “Journalism is two‑dimensional; you need to experience the culture you want to document.” Steps to Deep‑Dive Research Read nonfiction – History, journalism, policy reports. Read fiction – Novels written by members of the community. Listen to music – Understand emotional tone and cultural references. Watch movies / documentaries – Visual language and storytelling cues. Live the bubble – Immerse yourself in daily life, food, rituals. Why It Matters Breaks the “bubble” of your own biases. Helps anticipate reactions and capture authentic moments. Stephen Shames on Building Trust & Relationships Core Principles Honesty: Be transparent about your intent. Respect: Never mock or look down on subjects (e.g., drug addicts, police). Reciprocity: Offer subjects control—let them tell you when to stop. Presence: Stay physically in the community (sleep on sofas, eat meals together). Practical Tactics Find a community “gatekeeper.” Example: a nun from Catholic Social Services who introduced Shames to Chicago projects. Sit down for a conversation before shooting – explain the project, listen to concerns. Share your work later (photos, stories) to reinforce the relationship. “If you're honest, people will accept you, even if you're a ‘liberal New York Jew.'” Bullet‑Point Checklist Identify and contact a respected local figure or organization. Explain your project in plain language. Offer a clear “opt‑out” for subjects. Spend time off‑camera – meals, conversations, errands. Follow up after the shoot with thank‑you notes or shared images. Cameras vs. Guns: The Evolution of “Weapons” 1960s‑70s: Panthers used firearms legally to patrol police. Today: Shames notes that cameras and smartphones are the most powerful weapons for exposing injustice. Why the shift? Legal restrictions on open carry. Instant global distribution of visual evidence. “The camera is a much better weapon because it puts the story directly in front of the world.” Lessons for Modern Photographers Insight How to Apply Research beyond headlines Read novels, watch local films, listen to playlists from the community. Immerse, don't observe from a distance Stay in the neighborhood for days or weeks, not just a single shoot. Earn trust through honesty Share your intent, give subjects a “stop” word, and be transparent about usage. Leverage community allies Partner with NGOs, churches, or trusted locals to gain entry. Think of yourself as a “doctor,” not a “tourist” Your presence should be accepted as part of the environment, not an intrusion. Use the camera as an activist tool Publish work on platforms that reach decision‑makers, not just art galleries. Document, don't dictate Let subjects tell their own story; avoid imposing your narrative. Why Shames's Story Matters Today Media fragmentation & AI‑generated images: Shames emphasizes that authentic, verified photography is more vital than ever. Social justice resurgence: The same patterns of protest, police scrutiny, and grassroots organizing repeat across generations. Educational relevance: Teachers can use Shames's methods to teach research, empathy, and ethical storytelling. Conclusion Stephen Shames's career shows that powerful photography comes from empathy, rigorous research, and deep community ties. Whether you're documenting the modern Black Lives Matter movement, child poverty, or any social issue, the principles he shares—exit your bubble, build trust, and let the camera speak—remain timeless. Ready to start your own documentary project? Apply the checklist above, stay authentic, and remember: your camera can change policy just as much as any courtroom testimony.

What is music actually doing inside of us? In this solo reflection, Jeff Krasno explores the science and soul of how music shapes the human brain, regulates emotion, and connects us across distance and even across difference. Drawing from neuroscience research, Jeff explains how music can synchronize multiple brains at once, aligning nervous systems during shared emotional moments. EEG studies show that powerful passages in music can create real neural convergence, offering a sense of unity beneath belief and identity. He also explores why we are drawn to sad music. Melancholic songs help regulate emotion, releasing soothing and connective chemicals in the brain that allow us to process grief, longing, and distance while feeling less alone.Through stories of live music, memory, and fatherhood, this episode reveals how music: Synchronizes brains and nervous systems Supports emotional processing and regulation Collapses distance through memory and attachment Helps transform sadness into meaning Reminds us of our shared human wiring Music does not ask what we believe. It moves us anyway.

Send a textI this episode I sat down with cultural heritage reconnection coach Tami Garcia to trace a path from distance to pride. Raised in Cleveland by Jamaican and Dominican family who chose assimilation for survival, Tami grew up without language, rituals, or a map for belonging; until Howard University cracked something open: pride, proximity, and a hunger for the fullness of her story.This conversation traces Tammy's journey from disconnection to reclamation, and how that personal work became the foundation for the work she now does with families and individuals across the diaspora.Along our conversation journey, we name cultural imposter syndrome, face the pain of gatekeeping on both sides of the diaspora, and offer strategies to enter new spaces with respect: arrive in silence, observe, share your story and build trust step by step.Connect with Tami Garcia - https://www.tamigarcia.com/ Subscribe to the Newsletter Support How to Support Carry On Friends Donate: If you believe in our mission and want to help amplify Caribbean voices, consider making a donation.

When your three-year-old hits you, their sibling, or another child, it's easy to feel frustrated, embarrassed, or even angry. You might wonder if this challenging behavior means something is wrong with your child or your parenting.  In this episode, I help you see hitting in a completely different way. Instead of viewing it as a problem to eliminate, we'll explore what your child is trying to communicate through their actions. You'll discover how hitting is often your child's attempt to meet important needs when they don't yet have the words or skills to do it differently. This shift in perspective changes everything about how you respond. Most advice about hitting focuses on consequences, time-outs, or behavior charts. But these approaches miss what's really happening. In this episode, I walk you through real examples from parents dealing with hitting, and show you how to identify the feelings and needs driving the behavior. If you're not sure where to start with identifying your child's needs, this quick quiz can help you figure out which needs might be going unmet. You'll learn practical strategies for helping your child develop replacement behaviors for hitting that actually meet their needs. Whether your child hits when they're frustrated, overwhelmed, or seeking connection, you'll leave with tools to support them while also taking care of yourself and keeping everyone safe. Questions this episode will answer Is it normal for 3 year olds to hit? Yes, hitting is common in early childhood. Three-year-olds are still developing language skills and emotional regulation, so they often use physical actions to communicate feelings or meet needs they can't express in words yet. What is a replacement behavior for hitting? Replacement behaviors depend on what need your child is trying to meet. If they're seeking sensory input, alternatives might include squeezing play dough or pushing against a wall. If they're expressing frustration, they might learn to stomp their feet or use simple words like "I'm mad!" How do I get my 3 year old to stop hitting? Focus on understanding the feelings and needs behind the hitting rather than just stopping the behavior. Help your child identify what they're feeling, figure out what need they're trying to meet, and practice new ways to meet that need that work for everyone. Is it normal for a 3 year old to be very aggressive? Frequent hitting or other challenging behavior in early childhood often signals that your child has important unmet needs. This doesn't mean something is wrong with them. It means they need support learning new strategies to meet their needs. How do you teach children to communicate their needs? Start by helping your child recognize and name their feelings using simple...
