In this episode, you'll discover:How to tell the difference between your thoughts and your higher self speakingWhy time isn't linear and what that means for healing this lifetimeWhat actually happens when you access the part of you that remembers everythingWhat if you've been having the same conversation across multiple lifetimes, and you just don't remember?Your higher self does. It remembers every version of you that ever existed. Every life you've lived. Every person you've loved or hurt or learned from. It chose the body you're in right now. It picked your parents, your challenges, the exact circumstances that would force you to grow. And it's been trying to talk to you this entire time.Most people think the subconscious is just the part of your brain that stores habits and childhood memories. But Dolores Cannon discovered something else entirely. A level of consciousness that exists outside of time. That can access any moment that ever was or ever will be. She called it the subconscious because she didn't have another word for it. But it's nothing like what psychology describes. It's the part of you that's eternal.Today our guest is Julia Cannon, daughter of Dolores Cannon and the woman who worked alongside her mother to develop and teach Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique worldwide. Julia spent decades as an ICU and home health nurse before being pulled into the world her mother created, bringing both medical expertise and spiritual depth to this work.Links from the episode:Show Notes: mindlove.com/425Join the Mind Love CollectiveSign up for The Morning Mind Love for short daily notes to wake up inspiredSupport Mind Love SponsorsSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
We've all heard the phrase breast is best. But is it really that simple? In this episode, I sit down with an expert to talk honestly about what the research actually says about breastfeeding and where the science gets murky. We break down what's fact, what's myth, and why so much of the “breast is best” messaging comes from data that's more correlation than causation. From IQ to obesity to immune health, we unpack what studies really measure (and what they don't). I also share my own story as a pediatrician who planned to breastfeed but ended up formula-feeding my son after a difficult birth and ICU stay. That experience shaped how I talk to parents today because feeding your baby should never come with shame. We discuss: Why most breastfeeding research isn't based on randomized trials How socioeconomic factors shape the data we see on long-term “benefits” The difference between short-term and long-term outcomes What sibling studies tell us about IQ, weight, and immunity Why guilt over feeding choices can actually take away from connection The importance of supporting all feeding journeys—breast, bottle, or both Want more?

What happens when doctors stop healing and start judging? Imagine walking into a hospital with your sick child and being told, “Sorry, you didn't comply — no treatment.” It sounds dystopian, but this terrifying “comply or die” mindset is quietly creeping into modern healthcare. In this episode, we expose how politics, moral grandstanding, and cancel culture are rewriting the Hippocratic Oath. Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS Medicine used to be about one simple principle: care for the person in front of you. But now? Some healthcare professionals openly admit they're “out of compassion” for patients who think differently, vote differently, or reject certain treatments. This isn't medicine — it's moral policing with a stethoscope. We dive deep into the stories that prove it — from doctors refusing patients over vaccine status to hospitals debating ICU priority based on compliance. Brian connects the dots between compassion fatigue, political tribalism, and the erosion of trust that's leaving millions afraid to even see a doctor. But this isn't just about COVID. It's about where this thinking leads next — because once care becomes conditional, no one is safe. Today it's the unvaccinated. Tomorrow it could be your lifestyle, your politics, or your faith. The line keeps moving, and it's time to say enough. By the end of this episode, you'll see exactly how we got here — and how we can fix it.

Motivation and Inspiration Interviews with Professor of Perseverances
Reasa Selph, mother, and advocate for patient safety. In December 2023, her 11-year-old son, Nicholas, was discharged from a Dallas-area ER despite clear signs of sepsis. Just two days later, he collapsed in septic shock and spent over a month in the pediatric ICU at Cook Children's, undergoing multiple surgeries to save his life. Today, Nicholas is 12 and living with permanent injuries that changed the course of his young life. What happened to him was preventable, and she has turned her family's experience into a mission: raising awareness about sepsis, fighting for hospital accountability, and empowering parents to advocate for their children in moments of crisis.

The Center for Medical Simulation Presents: DJ Simulationistas... 'Sup?
Christian Balmer, an anesthesiologist and critical care doctor from Switzerland, joins us to look at the readiness of surgical teams in his organization to recognize and deal with cases that have gone beyond the capacity of the peripheral center to handle. Far from being a readiness plan around technical skills, the team discovers that it is the gray areas between intersecting teams and intersection institutions where the process of caring for the patient breaks down. Do the ICU teams at both hospitals agree about when is the right time to transfer the patient? Do the surgeons have training on stepping back and declaring that there is a crisis that needs to be managed via transport? Are there communication plans in place to make sure that the ICU has available beds, and to help the main hospital trust that when the peripheral group sends a patient, that patient has a real need for the ICU bed? Finally, we discuss aligning training programs from healthcare schools all the way to the hospital—if health systems are looking for teams that can talk to one another, work with patients, and provide care in a particular way, how can we make sure that the schools that are training future healthcare workers are in communication and prioritizing the skills and ability to learn that they will need to be ready for the job? -------------- Host & Co-Producer: Chris Roussin, PhD, Senior Director, CMS-ALPS (https://harvardmedsim.org/chris-roussin/) Producer: James Lipshaw, MFA, EdM, Assistant Director, Media (https://harvardmedsim.org/james-lipshaw/) Consulting and readiness with CMS-ALPS: https://harvardmedsim.org/alps-applied-learning-for-performance-and-safety Readiness Planning in Advances in Simulation: https://advancesinsimulation.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.1186/s41077-024-00317-z Dare to Be Ready on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/72gzzWGegiXd9i2G6UJ0kP Dare to Be Ready on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-center-for-medical-simulation/id1279266822

Send us a textA wedding week. A sudden collapse. An operating room that opened into something luminous.In this deeply moving conversation, Mike McKinsey shares the near-death experience that transformed the ruptured appendix into a profound awakening of meaning, faith, and purpose. He recalls the moment he says Jesus took his hand, the breathtaking landscape of living light and domed cities, and the jolt back to a hospital bed.It's a story told with honesty and detail — one that gently reminds us there's more to life than the body.We explore what came after the vision just as much as the vision itself: pneumonia, ICU nights, and a second encounter that arrived as a quiet but unmistakable voice — tell our story, expect valleys, keep walking. Over two decades, Mike has learned to live by that guidance, listening for small promptings, testing them through action, and meeting scepticism with empathy. His message now reaches millions through podcasts, books, and the near-death experience community.
My guest today is Dr. Jenny Prohaska, a clinical psychologist who has spent her career on the front lines of trauma and high-stakes performance. Jenny trained in neuro -rehabilitation psychology at the University of Kansas Medical Center, working with patients and staff in trauma, ICU, and burn units, where she built her expertise in how the brain and body adapt to extreme stress. For more than a decade, Jenny has brought that expertise into policing and tactical operations. She's force science certified and consults on more than 30 officer -involved shootings a year, as well as hundreds of other critical incidents. Jenny's conducted thousands of pre-hire psychological evaluations, giving her deep expertise in what makes officers and teams thrive or deteriorate under pressure. She's also built and trained more than two dozen peer support teams across the country and today consults for more than 50 public safety agencies. Jenny's also a sought-after speaker for national organizations. She's a founder of tactical longevity, a first -of -its -kind, pre-incident anti -fragility training framework designed to prepare officers and tactical teams to withstand the cumulative stress of their job. I'm excited to talk to Jenny because I've been a fan of her work for a number of years, and I believe that antifragility and prehabilitation programs promoting this concept of tactical longevity and talking about it and teaching.

Period. Full stop.How abusers hide behind charisma, charm, and a well-timed Bible verse.The horrifying way the legal system often rewards abusers and punishes protective moms.How abuse affects children, even when it's subtle, and especially when it's court-sanctioned.Why your anger is holy fire, not a character defect.How to start healing and parenting differently, even while walking through hell with a diaper bag.Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:Check out Dr. Christine Cocchiola's website.Connect with her on Instagram and Facebook.

In the third episode of this Constructing With Care, short series, host Leslie Tullio from DPR Construction is once again joined by Curtis Skolnik of CommonSpirit Health and Jonathan Bykowski of Array Advisors. Throughout Episode 21 the team explores how healthcare organizations can execute with confidence, from lean construction and technology integration to data-driven decision-making. The conversation dives into the challenges of bridging gaps between strategy, operations, and clinical realities, the role of AI in modeling patient care, mitigating bias in decision-making, and the power of Lean and Six Sigma processes to streamline implementation. Key Topics 01:20 – Emerging Technologies & Process Enablement Curtis and Jonathan discuss promising technologies and the potential for AI to optimize planning and operational decisions, including modeling patient flow and bed utilization. 02:18 – Bridging Strategy, Data, and Clinical Operations The discussion highlights the disconnects between hospital strategy teams, clinical operations, and patient care realities. AI is seen as a tool to bridge these “chasms,” helping identify opportunities like step-down care vs. ICU placement. 04:14 – Entrepreneurial Opportunities in Chasm Bridging The panel identifies gaps in healthcare data utilization and how new ventures could address them. 05:23 – Managing Data Overload Conversation on balancing the abundance of data with actionable insights, ensuring decision-makers aren't overwhelmed. 06:39 – Future-State Planning & Flexibility Jonathan emphasizes that long-term plans need built-in flexibility—“back roads maps”—to accommodate changing inputs and dynamic healthcare environments. 10:42 – Human Complexity in Implementation The panel explores how humans and bias affect project execution and the importance of structuring implementation to account for these complexities. 13:26 – Advocating for Equitable Participation Jonathan shares strategies for ensuring all voices are heard in planning sessions, emphasizing equity over equality to combat power dynamics and bias. 17:08 – Lean Six Sigma for Implementation The conversation pivots to Lean and Six Sigma principles, demonstrating how a systems-based approach improves project execution and reduces downstream inefficiencies. 21:13 – Lean Philosophy & Process Accountability The episode closes by reinforcing that errors and inefficiencies are always a reflection of the process, not individuals, and that continuous improvement depends on fixing the system rather than assigning blame. Quote Jonathan Bykowski, Array Advisors “We need to stop chasing perfect data and start trusting the patterns we see in real-time.”
OxygenCare is delighted to announce the introduction of the Medanets integrated Point of Care Nursing app to its ever-expanding Digital Healthcare solutions portfolio. The collaboration brings together two companies with a shared vision for improving patient care through innovative digital healthcare solutions. Stephen Nicholson, Digital Health Manager, OxygenCare, explains: "Medanets simplifies nursing routines, supports decision making, complements and integrates with EHR systems, and releases time to care for patients.'The CE and MDR certified app was developed in collaboration with healthcare professionals. "OxygenCare is a multi-award-winning, family-owned business with over 50 years supporting healthcare throughout the island of Ireland. "Their dedicated digital health team and prior experience in delivering complex ICU and anaesthesia systems make them an ideal partner for us," says Medanets CEO Juha-Matti Ranta. "On top of that, their deep market knowledge and the impression made by their team further solidified our confidence in this partnership. It seems we are a natural fit in both values and working style." For over 30 years, OxygenCare has been transforming digital healthcare through clinical systems and working with innovative products and solutions throughout Ireland. The Medanets integrated nursing app supports point-of-care documentation and immediate access to key patient data, making it a natural fit with OxygenCare's digital portfolio. Combining OxygenCare's connectivity solutions with Medanets' mobile solutions can provide significant added value both to organisations already using an electronic health record (EHR) and to hospitals beginning their digital journey. "We can offer healthcare providers a fast-track way to modernise operations, even in settings where an EHR is not yet in place. For instance, Medanets supports "lightweight IT" approaches such as sending PDFs directly to a document archive - a direct impactful step forward in digital empowerment," Ranta explains. Maurice Moran, Managing Director of OxygenCare, adds: "This Medanets offering complements our portfolio, and we see strong market potential. Together, we are currently conducting exploratory efforts in the market to identify opportunities and tailor our approach to local needs.

The first of our two guests tonight is Jessie from Minnesota, USA. After losing her beloved dog, Jessie turned to the CIA's Gateway Process meditation searching for comfort, and instead opened a doorway to something far stranger. What began as moments of peace soon gave way to visions of crystal spiders and encounters with shadowed figures that seemed to watch from beyond the veil. Then we move on to Soumil in Nashik, India. In a quiet village beside the backwaters of a dam, a still night beneath the stars became extraordinary when two silent objects flew in perfect tandem above the water. Years later, after a near-fatal stroke, Soumil found himself visited by three magenta-robed beings in the ICU, figures that seemed to heal him in silence.More information on this episode on the podcast website:https://ufochroniclespodcast.com/ep-356-in-the-stillness-of-night/The Gateway Intermediate Workbook:Link to the document itself is 21-page version released via the CIA's FOIA archives. https://cia.gov/readingroom/docs/cia-rdp96-00788r001700210023-7.pdHidden Cults (Promo)It is a documentary-style podcast that digs deep into the world's most extreme, elusive, and explosive fringe groups.

What if the cure for our anxious, overconnected lives is right outside the door? In this deeply human conversation, Ruth Chou Simons—artist, author, and mom of six—joins Ginny to explore how beauty, especially in nature, becomes a real antidote to hurry, worry, and screen-saturated living. From Jesus' invitation to “consider the lilies” to the way wildflowers preach resilience, individuality, and dependence, Ruth shows how getting outside forms our souls as much as it strengthens our kids. You'll hear vivid stories: morning glories as a picture of friendships that ebb and bloom; the extra-beautiful columbine as a reminder not to shrink back; the ache of a changing home as children launch, and the bluebell pointing us toward a truer, lasting home. Ruth also shares the moment her son suffered a serious mountain-biking injury—and how she painted wildflowers in the ICU, choosing to shift her gaze from fear to the faithful Gardener.

Mentorship can be transformative, especially for immigrant critical care professionals navigating unique career challenges. In this episode of the Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM) Podcast, host Ludwig Lin, MD, speaks with Fajun Wang, MD, a neurocritical care specialist and assistant professor at St. Louis University School of Medicine, about his experience in SCCM's Immigrant Critical Care Professional (ICCP) mentorship program. Dr. Wang shares his journey from medical school in China to building a neurocritical care service line in the United States, highlighting how mentorship shaped his path at every stage. He reflects on the challenges of entering a healthcare system in a new country and emphasizes the benefits of connecting mentors and mentees who share similar backgrounds and experiences. Dr. Wang's ICCP mentor provided guidance during the launch of his ICU leadership role, offering insights into service line development and support during challenging situations. The ICCP program, developed from a proposal by José L. Díaz-Gómez, MD, MAS, FASE, FCCM, launched its first six-month pilot in January 2024. The program focuses on five key domains: psychological and emotional support, self-efficacy, career development, scholarly support, and role modeling. A second pilot, currently under way, extends the mentorship to a full year. This episode will inspire listeners to seek mentorship and community to advance their careers and grow their confidence. Mentorship is not just about guidance—it's about building relationships that empower individuals to lead, innovate, and give back.

Dr. Arup Roy-Burman, Founder and Chief Strategy and Medical Officer of Elemeno Health, is addressing the gap between established medical policies and actual frontline practice. The Elemeno microlearning platform provides just-in-time multimedia content, building confidence in high-risk, low-frequency procedures, helping support knowledge retention, and combating clinician burnout. This modern approach to learning caters to clinicians with shorter attention spans and the expectation of receiving information on the device of their choice when they need it. Arup explains, "My background is as an ICU physician, and I have practiced as an ICU director for 20-plus years. And the challenge that we had in our ICUs is how to keep our teams on the same page with constantly changing information? And on top of that, in the context of constantly changing staff, medicine is full of so many different practices, workflows, and procedures, and we expect our staff to know all of them and to be able to execute on each one of them at the time that they need to. But that's really unrealistic. There's no way that people can stay on top of it. All medical knowledge doubles every 73 days." "When we think about today's generational workforce, as we think about just those of us who have kids, we see that attention spans, as you said, are short. People don't want to sit through a whole classroom. They can't remember that. And the way that people want to learn now and the way that they do learn, it's like one of our clients put it, it's like the "TikTokification of education." How do we deliver information on a mobile device? How do we deliver it in short, bite-sized chunks?

Mechanical ventilation can feel overwhelming, especially when faced with a sea of ventilator modes and unfamiliar terminology. In Part 2 of the series, we go beyond breath types and delivery mechanics to explore the most used modes in the ICU. We will break down each one; explaining how it works, when to use it, and why the goal isn't the “best mode” but the most comfortable one for the patient.

In this deeply personal episode, I share why we created this special prayer series—born out of 38 days spent in the pediatric cardiac ICU with my daughter, her husband, and my newborn grandson, Beau. Out of our desperation came these heartfelt prayers I wish we'd had in our darkest moments. Today's prayer is for anyone who feels abandoned by God. If you're desperate, hurting, afraid, or discouraged, we hope this prayer reminds you that you are not alone and that there is hope even here.We would like to pray for you.

Send us a textVisit my websiteCan a positive mindset truly improve your health—or even help you beat disease? In this episode, Dr. Bobby and guest Sean McDevitt explore the evidence behind optimism, visualization, and prayer to uncover what really works.In today's episode of Live Long and Well, Dr. Bobby is joined by fitness and life coach Sean McDevitt to explore whether positive thinking can influence health outcomes. They dive into both anecdotal and clinical evidence, starting with sports psychology and then navigating the science behind mindset and disease. The conversation opens with laughter and smiles—literally. Inspired by Norman Cousins' Anatomy of an Illness, Dr. Bobby references a meta-analysis showing genuine smiling does, in fact, temporarily boost happiness, while artificial smiling (like holding a pen in your mouth) doesn't.They begin with sports, where 86 studies show that visualizing athletic success can improve performance in agility, strength, and game-specific skills. Next, they ask a deeper question: does having a positive attitude affect the progression of serious disease? A meta-analysis of 26 studies on life satisfaction and longevity suggests happy people may live longer—especially when it comes to heart health. Optimism, for instance, was linked to a 35% reduction in cardiovascular events and a 15% decrease in all-cause mortality.However, when it comes to cancer, the picture gets murkier. A review of 165 studies links stress to poorer survival, but a separate meta-analysis on coping styles found no consistent impact on recurrence or survival. One influential study on breast cancer patients even found that while helplessness predicted worse outcomes, having a “fighting spirit” made no significant difference (source). As Dr. Bobby notes, it's important not to burden patients with guilt if they can't “stay positive.”The critical question becomes: if you're not naturally optimistic, can you cultivate positivity—and will it help? Encouragingly, several intervention studies suggest it might. One trial showed cardiac markers improved after optimism training, and a meta-analysis of 56 RCTs found a 15% boost in immune function after psychological interventions. A small MS study linked mindfulness to better walking ability, and a large RCT on breast cancer showed a 45% drop in recurrence with stress-reduction and mood-enhancing strategies.Finally, the episode touches on spirituality. While many find comfort in prayer, evidence from an RCT of 800 ICU patients and a [meta-analysis] shows no significant impac
Medical trainees spend years mastering what to do when biology fails — countless protocols, procedures, and split-second decisions. By the end, they're primed to fix what's broken. But what if the mandate of medicine is simpler — and more human?Our guest on this episode is Dr. Jessica Zitter — a physician, author, and filmmaker who has spent her career at the fault line between intensive care and palliative care. Dr. Zitter was initially drawn to the technical choreography in the ICU: numbers to chase, procedures to perform. Yet, along the way, she began to notice the danger we rarely name — that in our devotion to protocol, we might drift away from the person in front of us. Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Zitter shares personal experiences that have shaped her approach to medicine. We talk about moral injury and how it compounds: when systems push us to act against our values, care gets worse, and the hurt deepens. We talk about how bias slips in when power meets prejudice at the bedside and why chaplains — so often sidelined — can be essential guides back to the human being we're treating. Her prescription is simple: treat patients as you'd want your own loved ones to be treated. Ask for the story. Reconstruct the person we've taken apart into smaller pieces.Dr. Zitter is the author of her memoir Extreme Measures, appears in the Academy Award-nominated short film Extremis, and is the director of several documentaries, including 2025's The Chaplain & the Doctor.In this episode, you'll hear about: 2:45 - Dr. Zitter's path to a career in intensive care medicine4:52 - A day in the life of an intensivist17:42 - Dr. Zitter's unexpected pivot to prioritizing palliative care in her work 26:41 - The inspiration for Dr. Zitter's film The Chaplain and the Doctor38:36 - How chaplaincy attends to the soul of the patient and what doctors can learn from this perspective42:51 - Navigating internalized bias as a doctor49:42 - Dr. Zitter's advice for her younger self Visit our website www.TheDoctorsArt.com where you can find transcripts of all episodes.If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.
