Amanda DeLaney is the founder of Financial FixHer - a podcast and community that aims to empower women to unburden themselves from complicated finances. She actually takes a pause here from money talk and lets us in on a very vulnerable time in her life.  She is in the midst of a family situation that is causing her some burnout and letting us in as she begins her recovery. I want to POINT OUT through this episode that burnout can hit ANYONE, ANYTIME.  It is NOT just healthcare workers who struggle with moral injury and compassion fatigue.  Burnout also comes from changes in our life that cause us to experience a state of physical, emotional, and mental exhaustion caused by CHRONIC STRESS. It is characterized by feelings of emotional exhaustion, cynicism or detachment from life/work, and a reduced sense of accomplishment or efficacy. Burnout can affect people in any walk of life, any profession, and can be caused by a variety of factors including workload, lack of control, interpersonal conflicts, and poor work-life balance. Burnout can affect people in any profession, NOT just healthcare workers. Here are some common causes of burnout for people in other professions:Workload: Having too much work and feeling overwhelmed can lead to burnout. This can happen when there is a high volume of work, tight deadlines, or not enough support or resources to get the job done.Lack of control: Feeling like you have no control over your work or the direction of your career can contribute to burnout. This can happen when there is a lack of autonomy or decision-making power in your role.Monotony: Doing the same thing day in and day out can be tedious and draining, leading to burnout. This can happen in jobs that lack variety or creativity.Interpersonal conflict: Conflicts with coworkers or managers can be stressful and draining, especially if they are not resolved or if they persist over time.Lack of recognition: Feeling undervalued or underappreciated for your work can lead to burnout. This can happen when there is a lack of feedback or recognition for your contributions.Poor work-life balance: Working long hours or being expected to be available outside of work hours can lead to burnout. This can happen when there is a lack of boundaries between work and personal life.Healing from burnout is IMPERATIVE because It can cause symptoms such as fatigue, irritability, anxiety, and depression. Burnout can also lead to decreased productivity, poor quality work, and increased absenteeism.A few reasons why healing from burnout is crucial:Physical health: Burnout can cause physical symptoms such as exhaustion, headaches, muscle tension, and sleep disturbances. If left unaddressed, burnout can increase the risk of developing health problems such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and depression.Mental health: Burnout can also have a negative impact on mental health. It can lead to feelings of anxiety, depression, and irritability. Left unaddressed, burnout can lead to more serious mental health problems such as anxiety disorders, depression, and substance abuse.Work performance: Burnout can affect work performance, leading to decreased productivity, poor quality work, and increased absenteeism. This can have a negative impact on an individual's career, as well as on the success of the organization they work for.Relationships: Burnout can also affect personal relationships, leading to conflict and stress at home. This can have a further negative impact on an individual's mental health and well-being.

Welcome to The Nonlinear Library, where we use Text-to-Speech software to convert the best writing from the Rationalist and EA communities into audio. This is: Getting Cats Vegan is Possible and Imperative, published by Karthik Sekar on May 4, 2023 on The Effective Altruism Forum. Summary Carnivore is a classification, not a diet requirement. The amount of meat that cats eat is significant. Transitioning domestic cats to eating vegan would do much good for the environment and animal welfare. Having vegan cats now is not convenient, but we (humanity) should make that so. We do not need to wait around for cultivated meat. There are tractable opportunities now. We also need randomized control trials with measured health outcomes; funding is the main limitation here. Making domestic cats vegan meets all of the Effective Altruism criteria: significant, tractable, and neglected. Main Imagine you are a surveyor traveling to remote parts of the world. Within a thick rainforest, you come across an indigenous group long separated from the modern world. They fashion spears to hunt fish and thicket baskets to collect foraged berries. Notably, they wear distinctive yellow loincloths dyed with local fruit. You are not one with words, so you call them the Yellowclothea. This is not a farfetched story. Most species worldwide are classified similarly–someone observes them and then contrives a classification named on what they see. Carnivora was coined in 1821 to describe an Order of animals by the observation that they consumed the meat of other animals–carnem vorāre is Latin for “to eat flesh”. Let us go back to the Yellowclothea. You can already intuit that these natives do not have to wear the yellow loincloths–it is simply what you initially observed. If the natives swapped the dye with purple or green, that would work out fine. However, the rainforest lacks those colors, so Yellowclothea is resigned to their monotone. In other words, wearing yellow cloth is not a requirement for them to live, just what works for them and is available. 1821, the year of Carnivora's naming, is ages ago in the scientific world. It was before the Theory of Evolution, first described in The Origin of Species in 1859. It was before the molecular biology revolution. It was before we understood the basis of metabolism and nutrition. So it is easy to confuse classification/observation with the requirement. It is the same fallacy as assuming that the Yellowclothea people can only wear yellow clothing. Since 1821, we learned more about nutrition, molecular biology, and metabolism to demystify meat. Meat is mostly muscle fibers with some marbled fat and critical nutrients. Carnivora animals generally have more acidic stomachs and shorter gastrointestinal (GI) tracts than nominal herbivores. The extra acid helps chop proteins into the alphabet amino acid molecules, which are readily taken up, so a long GI tract is unnecessary. So Carnivora animals cannot have salads or raw vegetables, which are rich in fiber and would not break down in their GI tracts in time. Nevertheless, we can make protein-rich and highly digestible foods for Carnivora starting from plant and microbial ingredients. Just as a cow will chemically process the plants into their muscle–flesh, we can similarly turn the plants into food that a carnivore would thrive off without an animal intermediary. In other words, we can source all the required nutrients from elsewhere, without meat. There is—at least in theory—no reason why diets comprised entirely of plants, minerals, and synthetically-based ingredients (i.e., vegan diets) cannot meet the necessary palatability, bioavailability, and nutritional requirements of cats Andrew Knight, Director, Centre for Animal Welfare, University of Winchester I have written about how succeeding meat, dairy, and eggs with plant and microbial-based alternatives will be one of the best things we ever do–I argue that it is better than curing cancer or transitioning ful...

In this episode I get together with my friend and colleague of several years, Suniti Barua and discuss our rendezvous with trauma work. After more than a decade of doing trauma work with thousands of clients, both of us have had this profound realisation that while other modalities and methods work and enhance human growth, things seem and feel incomplete when we do not bring the element of trauma. And it's truly not sufficient to just be trauma informed, but we must build containers and trainings that are trauma "focussed." Which is why, learning and integrating trauma work becomes so imperative. Once you have that lens to look at the world, you can never go back to looking at it otherwise or in another way. Trauma work is imperative, and here's why. Things you will learn in this episode: Why behavioural models are often limited. Trauma is everywhere, we must have the eyes and skills to witness it. Neocortical Superiority and its ill effects. It is now time to integrate indigenous wisdom to our healing modalities. Why we cannot solve everything with thoughts alone. All thought work needs a fundamental base of trauma work. Moving from being trauma informed to trauma focused. The relevance of trauma work in ATEPS and in other business coaching containers.

You may remember the summer of 2020. We were caught in the grip of the initial months COVID-19 pandemic. A racial reckoning was beginning to materialize across the nation and, frankly, the world. When our guest that summer, Dr. Bettina Love, spoke with us at the NEA Racial & Social Justice Virtual Conference that year, she uttered the words "it is good to be here" and it was. We were surviving under constant threat of disease and violence. Nearly three years have passed since this incredible conversation, and we wanted to revisit it. Dr. Love is a light of joyful tenacity in our work, and we look back and realize with greater appreciation, how much she got us all through it. Many of you have reached out to ask us for this episode, so please enjoy this throwback to a more bootleg time for us (audio much less cute than now), but this beautiful liminal space that we found ourselves with great minds and spirits.

Welcome to the Spark Influence Podcast with Peter and Misty Phillip, where we ignite conversations about intentional living in our faith, marriage, and with our family. Today we discuss the importance of Christian education and how it relates to the book of Deuteronomy. Scripture Reference "Now this is the commandment—the statutes and the rules[a]—that the Lord your God commanded me to teach you, that you may do them in the land to which you are going over, to possess it, that you may fear the Lord your God, you and your son and your son's son, by keeping all his statutes and his commandments, which I command you, all the days of your life, and that your days may be long. Hear therefore, O Israel, and be careful to do them, that it may go well with you, and that you may multiply greatly, as the Lord, the God of your fathers, has promised you, in a land flowing with milk and honey. “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. And these words that I command you today shall be on your heart. You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, and when you walk by the way, and when you lie down, and when you rise. You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates." - Deuteronomy 7:1-9 ESV. Episode Summary In Deuteronomy 7, God commands his people to teach their children his commandments and statutes so they may know and follow them. This passage emphasizes the importance of passing on the faith and knowledge of God to the next generation. As Christian parents, we are responsible for equipping our children with a strong biblical foundation that will guide them throughout their lives. We believe that Christian education should be centered on the Word of God, and we should prioritize teaching the Bible to help our kids understand its relevance in their daily lives. We encourage parents to actively participate in their child's spiritual education by providing resources and opportunities for them to engage in family devotions and discussions. Help your children develop a biblical worldview that enables them to engage with culture and think critically about the issues they face. Teach your kids to read, and to think critically. By teaching them to apply biblical principles to their decision-making, we can equip them to navigate the complexities of the world with confidence and discernment.

A Destination Marketing consultant recently opined that diving into Sustainability and Stewardship carries with it some danger...and we don't disagree. But Durango's Rachel Brown counters with all the reasons her DMO believes they must engage. She discusses how they've adapted the Care for Colorado program on a local level and shifted their budget to Destination Management. Plus a Bonus Round question that features her staff's Team Building initiative. Very cool stuff.

Today, the pace of change across industries is quicker than ever before. Economic, political, and social unrest and a global climate crisis have placed unprecedented disruption and pressures on organizations looking to navigate a rapidly changing environment. Firms are being out-innovated and entire industries are being disrupted in a matter of months or years, as opposed to decades. Shifting regulations, data as an asset, dynamic customer behavior and employee expectations of continued flexibility in a more virtual workplace add to the challenge. Technology risk and compliance needs to adjust to this new reality. The strategy and value of an organization's technology risk management are becoming essential to build and secure stakeholder trust. That means moving closer to the point where the risk events occur and using preventative, detective, and automated controls as much as possible. In this podcast, Beth McKenney, a Principal in the KPMG Technology Risk service network, offers a game plan for companies to meet these today's challenges with an eye on building stakeholder trust. That means having a proactive, rather than a reactive, approach to risk management.

Episode Summary: In Episode 119 of the Aerospace Advantage, Air Combat Survivability Imperative: Through a POW's Experience, John “Slick” Baum, Maj Gen Larry “Stutz” Stutzriem, USAF (Ret.), and Heather “Lucky” Penney interview Lt Col Gene Smith, USAF (Ret.) about what it was like to get shot down in his F-105 over downtown Hanoi on October 25, 1967. This was just one of the 1,737 USAF aircraft lost to hostile action over Vietnam. That number equates to roughly 80% of the Air Force's fighter inventory today. Members of the Mitchell team also discuss steps the Air Force should consider as it prepares for an increasingly hostile future threat environment and speak to a museum leader who is helping educate future generations about this history. As Smith's story reminds us, effective airpower demands that aircrew fly into harm's way, execute their missions, and return to base—and then do it all over again to sustain broader air campaign objectives. If attrition grows too high, then sorties cannot be sustained. These sorts of casualty rates are hard to imagine today given that we've become used to combat operations in relatively low threat conditions. Tomorrow's conflicts promise to be far more lethal.

Lisa and I are always seeking to answer the biggest questions being pondered in our communities, and one that always comes up is around, "Is my symptom TMS and how it is that so many symptoms are?!" I know these are not the messages we grew up with as kids -  that headaches and backaches and nerve pain and stomach issues care all essentially the same thing, but in the TMS world, we know that it's true. The pain is NOT in your head, but the solution is not in your body. The concept of the symptom imperative is very important in this discussion. This past summer we did the Summer Series, and the symptom imperative episode was one of the most impactful. Today we bring it back for a reprise, to answer many of these frequently asked questions.

Plant Spirit Communication is a practice that can be a powerful tool in one's arsenal of working with unprocessed trauma, challenging times and shadow work. In this episode you will learn: What Plant Spirit Communication is and exactly how it works. Why this potent practice is worth doing and how it can support you. How you don't have to work with plants physically to benefit from them and how to do so.  How & why working energetically with poisonous plants can be a venue for healing shadow work and allow us to know ourselves even more fully. Concrete ways to build your intuition. This practice ends with a short, lovely guided meditation where you will meet a “poisonous plant!” Show Notes: The internet has been impactful for the modern mystic in positive and negative ways. It has been an expansive well for deep teachings. Yet there are so many out there one has to sift through charlatans for the actual deep teachings is what everyone is looking for. Kali Yuga Age is the Sanskrit term for this era we live in of mass suffering at huge levels.  To not look at these things is to deny aspects of ourselves as we are all connected so we feel what's going on in the world in subtle ways. Imperative to not only focus on light and love. If only focus is on life's suffering, it's neurotic just like to only focus on light just highlights some wound within self.  Kathryn shares about her background and path which led her to becoming a plant communicator and educator. Poisonous plants can teach us about alchemizing toxins into medicine. They are mystical and excellent for doing trauma work, they clear away things and good for shadow work. The benefits of learning how to work with plant communication and then the boons of working more specifically with poisonous plants are discussed. The times when things are falling apart, can be great opportunities to learn about yourself the most and drop into what potential is being offered here. Wrathful deities snap us out of our delusions, burn away confusion and reveal how we are not living the life we truly want to be.  Plant Spirit medicine idea, theory and practice holds that everything has morphic resonance and fields. When an individual's vibrational field and a plant's vibrational field overlap, plant medicine happens. They run through our unique thought systems.  If you connect with rose, you might get these messages: elegance, boundaries, venusian qualities. If you connect with psychoactive hallucinogens, you get a very different effect. Plants will hold us in difficult feelings with the energy of, “This is ok, this is even normal and natural.

This is episode 1,114 of the Arete Coach Podcast with Severin Sorensen, which explores AI, Automation, and the Innovation Imperative. It has been 60 days since our first episode [1,1104] on AI and ChatGPT, which was published on 12/12/22. The world has changed. And the change is accelerating. In this episode, we explore AI, automation, and the innovation imperative. We look at the growth of AI, and review a book titled 'AI and Prediction.' We explore tight labor conditions and the logical imperative that under the absence of available workers, businesses should seek to reduce labor in every SKU, product, and service. AI and Automation are viewed as means to augment and leverage existing talent. In the podcast, we interview 3 individuals from different age cohorts to explore how they use ChatGPT in their personal and work lives. The episode has dozens of hacks, tips, and suggestions for leveraging the listener's ability to use conversational AI. Special guests on this podcast episode include: Cait Pickens, Hayden Browing, and Ozzie Gontang. This episode is a follow-up to Arete Coach Podcast Episode 1104, that explores OpenAI's ChatGPT Chat App along with "10 Technologies That Changed The World, and the Next 10 Technologies Likely To Change it Again.
