In this episode of The Birth Lounge Podcast, HeHe sits down with Sally Hayes, founder of Matrikas, to talk about what it really takes to build a solid, supportive village for new parents. Together, they unpack the importance of continuity of care, how to create a trustworthy referral list, and the reality of navigating a maternal healthcare system that often feels broken and fragmented. Sally brings her wisdom on radical acceptance, the role of virtual care in expanding access, and why maternal health education has to start earlier than most people think. HeHe and Sally also dive into how to properly vet practitioners and what to do if client feedback uncovers red flags in your referral network. If you've ever wondered how collaboration between providers (and communities!) can change outcomes for families, this episode is for you. Tune in and discover how to build the kind of village that supports birthing people and their care teams. 00:00 Introduction and Purpose-Driven Care 01:03 Client Testimonial and Birth Lounge App 05:04 Healthcare System Challenges 06:33 Interview with Sally Hayes: Continuity of Care 08:00 Building a Referral Network 25:45 Virtual Care and Overcoming Healthcare Deserts 36:26 Personal Experiences and Advice for New Doulas 40:03 Building Connections and Championing Others 41:05 Embracing Authenticity in Your Work 41:54 Finding Your Perfect Client 42:33 Creating Unique Services and Standing Out 43:02 Building a Referral Network 45:40 Aligning Values with Referral Partners 51:59 Handling Mismatched Referrals 01:05:42 The Importance of Preemptive Education 01:11:31 Final Thoughts and Encouragement   Guest Bio: Before founding Matrikas, Sally spent 20+ years as a prenatal and postpartum massage therapist, working intimately with thousands of clients through some of the most transformative chapters of their lives. Her hands-on work illuminated a critical gap in the maternal health landscape: while there are countless talented practitioners, many work alone, disconnected from one another and often unsupported. Matrikas was born out of this need for a more connected, collaborative, and community driven model of care. Through Matrikas, Sally champions relationship based referrals, cross discipline education, and building a shared village that supports birthing people and the providers who care for them.

Have you ever wondered what those $300 online teacher trainings were like?Well, I asked someone who both teaches online and also has looked through more than one of these.What really makes a yoga teacher training “good”? In this episode, we explore the realities of online vs. in-person YTTs, why pacing and feedback matter, and how affordability impacts accessibility in the yoga profession. Katlyn Greiner and I delve into the myth that higher costs equal higher quality, the role mentorship can play in shaping new teachers, and the financial realities of studios running training sessions. Plus, we unpack the tension between brand cohesion and creativity in the yoga business.KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Online vs. in-person training Asynchronous, low-cost YTTs aren't inherently “less than.” We need to rethink perceptions of online vs. in-person education.2. Pacing matters Dumping all the content at once isn't effective. Pacing supports integration and embodiment of teachings.3. Feedback is essential Integrated feedback—live or asynchronous—is key to learning, relationship-building, and quality in online trainings.4. Financial accessibility Low-cost trainings expand access. Eliminating them would reduce opportunities for many aspiring teachers.5. Mentorship as the missing link Imagine affordable online YTTs paired with paid local mentorship—a model that supports both new teachers and experienced guides.6. Rethinking “quality” High price ≠ high quality. Metrics for strong training should include teaching skill, student engagement, and practical business acumen.7. Teacher trainings ≠ cash cow For many studios, YTTs aren't highly profitable—they're a labor of love or a way to train new teachers.8. Creativity vs. brand cohesion Studios must balance cohesive branding with honoring yoga as a creative practice. Navigating that tension is key to sustainable growth.RESOURCESWorking In Yoga WebsiteWorking In Yoga NewsletterPodcast ShopRegister for the FREE webinarKatlyn's IG

For decades, Africa's malaria strategy has focused almost exclusively on disease control through indoor mosquito management and personal protection — bed nets, indoor spraying, and individual-level interventions. But this approach alone isn't working. Progress against malaria in the African region has slowed significantly, with cases declining by just 5% since 2015 and mortality by 16%, according to the World Health Organization. Experts now argue it's time to shift from disease-centric, indoor mosquito management to more robust integrated mosquito management strategies. That means taking a tiered approach, starting with reducing mosquito breeding sites, treating water sources with larvicides, and then targeting adult mosquitoes. “The tendency will probably be to think about controlling mosquitoes when they are flying only. But they are actually more vulnerable when they are not flying, usually when they are in the water,” explained Silas Majambere, a medical entomologist and business manager of Africa, Europe, and the Middle East at Valent BioSciences. This approach, known as larval source management, has proven both cost-effective and sustainable. “The conversation is shifting away from just talking about a disease and saying, ‘How do we take those limited public health dollars and manage the mosquito so that we can manage multiple diseases for those dollars?'” said Jason Clark, managing director for global public health and forest health at Valent BioSciences. Some countries are already moving in this direction. In Benin, the government is framing mosquito control not just as a health issue but as an economic one. The government is focusing on tourism as one of the key pillars of growth for the country, and the presence of mosquito-borne diseases is a direct threat to that, explained Sinde Chekete, adviser to the president of Benin. “We believe that investing in mosquito control will ultimately bring resources, will bring revenue, because we'll be able to welcome more tourists … and reduce the overall cost of malaria,” he said. Chekete, Majambere, and Clark joined Devex Executive Editor Kate Warren to discuss the shift toward integrated mosquito management in a special Devex podcast episode sponsored by Valent BioSciences.

This episode is a pause—a breath between cycles, a moment to harvest what's been growing and begin the slow descent inward. Late summer, often called the “fifth season,” invites us to nourish, digest, and integrate. Governed by the Earth element, this time of year asks us to slow down, savor sweetness, and prepare for the challenges of autumn—not with urgency, but with steadiness.Join me to explore the energetic themes of late summer through seasonal rhythms and a special essential oil blend intended to support grounding, clarity, and digestion. A majority of this episode is devoted to a guided visualization*—an invitation to turn inward and connect with what truly nourishes us, emotionally, physically, and energetically.From juicy sweet fruits, the golden glow of the sun to the hum of bees, from the wisdom of spiders, this episode is a love letter to the mellow yellow season of transformation. To close, I share Chopin's Nocturne No. 17 in B Major alongside a word sequence that calls upon the Earth element's invitation to pause, integrate and nourish. Warm. Golden. Integrated.*Note: The visualization starts at minute 16 & the Chopin infused word sequence starts around minute 30.

Highlights from Talkback. William Crawley and guests discuss the news headlines.

Friday marks the 75th anniversary of a court ruling that made UVA the first university in the South to integrate.  Sandy Hausman reports on the student who sued for access to a graduate program in the law school.

Aligned to His Majesty's Government (HMG) priorities of curtailing irregular migration and associated connections to human trafficking from Albania, efforts to address the drivers of migration and organised crime at source are underway. The British Army's ongoing specialist survey work in Albania's Kukës Subterranean Complex (KSC) may lead to livelihood creation, mitigating some of the risk factors of human trafficking. This demonstrates the military instrument's contribution to Human Security. UK Strategy on Irregular Migration from Albania Enabled in large part by online messaging applications such as TikTok Albanians made up a quarter of all arrivals to the UK by small boats at a reported peak in 2022. The UK's Home Affairs Committee June 2023 report details the legal, social and political context of migration to the UK from Albania. Three key drivers identified are: 1. Economic migration because of Albania's comparative poverty 2. Refugees (particularly women) who have been trafficked or made modern slaves; and 3. Organised crime In 2023 and 2024, the UK returned more Albanians (2624) by nationality than any other, but irregular detections from Albania continued throughout 2024 (825). Time should be taken to understand migration terms and figures (see here), but the key takeaway is that the UK's intent is to reduce migration and where possible, minimise push factors at source To achieve this effect, cross-government strategy in partnership with international state and non-state partners has been pursued, complimented by a plethora of UK-Albania bilaterals, culminating in a Bilateral Cooperation Plan signed in December 2022 which centred around 'security and home affairs' with a focus on 'organised crime and illegal immigration'. Development of Kukës city - a vulnerable area prone to criminality and trafficking 'from which a substantial proportion of Albanian emigration to the UK occurs' - has been recognised as means to combat emigration. The UK has already worked with local NGOs, UNICEF and conducted fact finding missions in Kukës on perceptions and drivers of emigration. Defence Integrating into UK Strategy On 17 July 2023, the then Secretary for Defence Ben Wallace received Albanian Defence Minister Niko Peleshi in London, with former Minister of State Baroness Goldie later signing a Statement of Intent (SoI) between the two MoDs with Peleshi. The SoI is wide ranging, and leaves plenty of scope for 'any new potential areas of cooperation'. Likely by design, the SoI does not detail expected outcomes, but does list some specific outputs, one of which includes 'infrastructural development'. While the military instrument is not positioned as the lead actor in counter-trafficking efforts, those drafting the SoI seem aware that military activity could contribute meaningfully to the conditions which reduce trafficking risk. The Overseas Security and Justice Assistance (OSJA) form completed for bilateral activity reinforces this interpretation. The military engagement is framed in terms of defence engagement, recognising 'representatives of other [Albanian] government and academic institutions also attend activity delivered by the UK Defence Section in support of UK Partners Across Government'. The effect is subtle but significant: rather than overstate Defence's role, the SoI and OSJA position military activity as a potential discreet net contributor to broader foreign policy and Human Security outcomes - reduction of emigration and associated trafficking through targeted development programmes at source. In this context, the absence of outcome language should be read not as an oversight, but as policy discipline. It reflects a conscious decision to align with HMG objectives without mischaracterising the military's role or inadvertently committing Defence to outcomes it alone cannot deliver. The Plan 'Exploring the potentials of the tunnels' was agreed as an output in the Defence and Security Bilateral Cooperation planned o...

Squats can be hugely beneficial for healthy aging. In this episode, Ageless Workout coaches Shebah Carfagna and Nate Wilkins focus on how squats mirror everyday movements—like standing from a chair or getting out of a car—supporting independence and strength. We discuss safe technique fundamentals, scalable progressions from sit-to-stand to air squats, time under tension, and advanced options like jump squats. In conversation with Peter Bowes, Nate and Shebah emphasize tailoring variations of a squat to individual abilities, joint health, and goals, with guidance for adding resistance when appropriate. Integrated routines, such as combining squats with walking, as Peter has discovered, can boost engagement and cardio benefits. You should check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program. This episode is the second in our 20-part series, Move for Life, exploring the intersection of longevity, strength training and movement. -----This podcast is supported by affiliate arrangements with a select number of companies.

117: Dental Financial Planning: Turning Chaos into Financial Freedom - Part 7In this episode of The Dental Boardroom Podcast, host Wes Read, CPA, CFP®, breaks down how dentists can turn tax chaos into predictable, stress-free planning. He shares why relying on your CPA only at tax time often leads to big surprises and how a structured approach, meeting mid-year and again in Q4, keeps finances on track. By using payroll strategically to cover nearly all taxes, dentists can avoid penalties, manage their cash flow more effectively, and replace large, unexpected bills with a small, manageable refund.Wes also explains why payroll is more than just a paycheck; it's a tax strategy tool. From maximizing retirement contributions to putting kids or a spouse on payroll, timing expenses, and leveraging deductions like the home office, payroll decisions drive both tax savings and financial efficiency. Integrated planning across tax, payroll, and financial management ensures dentists stay ahead and build long-term wealth without the stress of last-minute fixes.Key PointsAim for a small refund ($1K–$5K), not big surprise bills.Forecast taxes 2–3 times per year (mid-year + Q4).Use payroll withholdings to cover 100% of taxes and avoid late penalties.Payroll drives key strategies: retirement savings, FICA planning, and paying family members.Most tax strategies must be implemented before December 31.Integrated planning avoids inefficiencies from juggling multiple advisors.

In Part 2 of our conversation with certified lead auditor Jess Teasdake, we dig deeper into what it really takes to build an efficient, audit-ready quality management system (QMS). If you caught Part 1, you heard us talk through the big picture: certifications, audits, and what separates a good QMS from a bad one. This time, we're getting tactical. We're not just talking about passing an audit—we're talking about building a system that supports your team, reduces risk, and eliminates waste across your business. From risk registers and RPN scoring to digitizing your paperwork and planning with cross-functional teams, we cover the actual tools and habits that make quality real on the shop floor. Along the way, we share stories from our own shops—what's worked, what hasn't, and how integrated technology has changed the game. We've lived the paper-chasing, binder-filled chaos that too many shops call a QMS. And we've seen what happens when you replace it with a connected system that actually reflects how your shop runs day to day. If you're working toward certification—or just want to build a culture of quality that doesn't require heroics to maintain—this episode is your blueprint.

In this Beekeeping Today Podcast Short, Dr. Dewey Caron returns with his monthly audio postcard—this time focused on August mite management and a remarkable discovery about honey bee learning. Dewey reminds beekeepers that August is a critical month to monitor and treat for varroa mites before their populations explode. He shares updates on new and emerging treatments, including Norroa (a dsRNA-based biopesticide), Mite Bee Gone (L-glutamic acid strips), and Apivar 2.0, as well as best practices for applying oxalic acid extended release strips like VarroxSan. Dewey shifts from mites to mind-blowing research on bee communication. Drawing on the work of Dr. James Nieh, he explains how the waggle dance—used by bees to communicate foraging locations—is learned through social exposure, similar to how birds and humans acquire language. This study, featured in Science, marks the first demonstration of social learning in insect spatial communication. This episode blends practical mite management insights with inspiring science, all in under 20 minutes. Stay proactive. Plan your treatments. And appreciate the depth of honey bee intelligence.

Send us a textGuest: John Crotts, pastor of Faith Bible Church (Sharpsburg, GA)There are lots of issues that consume our attention, such as world events, politics, work, family, recreation, health trials, and more. But there is one issue for the Christian that should be of primary focus—loving God.Loving God means to order our thoughts and actions around what brings glory to God and pleases Him. In fact, Jesus said that loving God with our whole being is “the great and foremost commandment” (Matt. 22:38). Not a suggestion but a commandment.When the believer grows in love of God, he will enthusiastically want to worship and obey Him. Jesus said, “If you love Me, you will keep My commandments.” Of course—we'll do anything for someone we truly love.So how do we grow in our love of God? Is it about trying to manufacture and maintain affectionate feelings toward God, as a man has for a woman with whom he is in love? Should Christians expect to wake up every day just naturally loving God?John Crotts joins us this weekend on The Christian Worldview to discuss the all-important issue of growing in your love of God. John has been pastor of Faith Bible Church in Sharpsburg, GA for 30 years, hosts the Integrated podcast, and is a fellow with the Fortis Institute, where he produced a video titled, “Head to Heart: Five Ways to Know and Love God.”

What if church wasn't something you went to... but something you lived? In this deeply personal episode, Jake McCandless shares the raw, behind-the-scenes story of his relentless pursuit to build a ministry that reflects the Acts 2 church — where discipleship, mission, and real-life faith collide. From wrestling with Sunday-only Christianity to stepping out in faith to build something more authentic, this isn't just a story — it's a roadmap for families who long to see faith fully integrated into every part of life. Whether you're a parent, pastor, or just hungry for something more, this episode will challenge you to rethink what it means to follow Jesus in your home, church, and everyday life.

This week on The Mother Daze, we're joined by two powerhouse women redefining what birth support can look like, Anastasia Stone, mother of five and deeply intuitive doula, and Dr. Melissa Drake, soulful OB-GYN. Together they co-founded ‘The Collective' in Santa Barbara, California. As a team, they're flipping the traditional model of care on its head, blending house calls, continuity, and deep, respectful presence to rewrite the birth experience. We dive into the story of Sarah's birth with baby Ocean, including the moment a shoulder dystocia changed the energy of the room and how this team navigated it with calm, trust, and connection. From home to hospital, they held Sarah through the intensity, honoring her choices and helping her stay rooted in her joy even amidst big unknowns. This episode is all about intuitive birth work, integrated care, how they came to be such a dynamic duo and what's possible when women are surrounded by providers who trust the process as deeply as they trust the birthing person.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sat down with Boris Bialek, VP and Field CTO at MongoDB, for a conversation that moved well beyond databases. As AI continues to accelerate across sectors, MongoDB is positioning itself at the intersection of modern data architecture and intelligent application development. Boris shared how his team is simplifying AI adoption for enterprises, with a clear focus on real-world outcomes, developer productivity, and global inclusion. We began by exploring MongoDB's recent acquisition of Voyage AI. This move extends MongoDB's native capabilities into vector search, embeddings, and re-rankers, allowing developers to build AI-powered applications more efficiently. Boris explained how MongoDB is removing the complexity from AI integration by providing a unified API, collapsing what used to be 18 disconnected tools into a streamlined developer experience. But the discussion wasn't just about technology. Boris brought a passionate focus to the issue of financial inclusion. We talked about how AI can enable alternative credit scoring for the 27 percent of adults globally who remain unbanked. By analyzing behavioral signals such as mobile payment histories or utility data, AI can help unlock microcredit opportunities for individuals and small businesses in underserved regions. Boris shared use cases from PicPay in Brazil, M-Pesa in Africa, and Proxtera in Singapore, each demonstrating how AI and MongoDB are enabling new forms of digital trust. We also tackled the organizational and technical hurdles to enterprise AI adoption. From fears about hallucinations to managing constant model updates, Boris described how MongoDB is building systems that prioritize transparency, auditability, and scale. With its document model and integrated tooling, MongoDB offers a stable foundation for companies navigating fast-moving AI transformations. For developers, the platform now includes learnmongodb.com and quick-skill badges designed to make AI approachable and hands-on. And with the upcoming release of Boris's new book, there's more to come on how businesses can move from pilot experiments to production-grade solutions. How is your organization rethinking its data strategy to make AI work at scale?

Effective security management has never been simple and the expanded threat landscape enhanced by AI has only widened the gap between defenders and attackers. Scott Crawford and Greg Zwakman return to discuss the managed security services market with host Eric Hanselman. Security services have been an option for enterprises since the earliest days of IT, but the need for more depth and breadth in security operations has changed market dynamics and the enterprise security calculus. Part of this shift is driven by the scope and scale of security operations. Expanded attack surfaces with more devices, more SaaS applications and hybrid infrastructure can be all the more difficult to secure. Integrated security operations patterns, like Managed Detection and Response (MDR) can provide more comprehensive services and ones that are targeted at delivering improved security outcomes, rather than just operational support. Changing security requirements are driving M&A activity, as well. Where services had been an augmentation to vendor products, some vendors now see them as a critical part of their portfolio and a key to platform aspirations. Zscaler's acquisition of Red Canary and Sophos' pick up of SecureWorks are some of the more notable transactions in this trend. Security management has shifted front of security markets.

This week's EYE ON NPI is tick tock o'clock, it's the Abracon Real-Time Clock with Integrated 32.768 kHz Crystal Oscillator (https://www.digikey.com/en/product-highlight/a/abracon/real-time-clock-with-integrated-32-768-khz-crystal-oscillator). It's a tiny and affordable all-in-one RTC that has everything ya want, and nothin' ya don't. With it's compact package size, it's half the BOM size of what most RTC's need, and has a high quality Abracon crystal (https://www.digikey.com/en/supplier-centers/abracon) already included! We've been using Abracon (https://www.digikey.com/en/supplier-centers/abracon) crystals and oscillators in our designs for decades - for example a 12.288 MHz Crystal (https://www.digikey.com/short/w2qvtnbr) adorns our VS1053 breakout board (https://www.adafruit.com/product/1381). That's not the only thing they're good at, but it's the name recognition they've got as a trusted supplier of quality, affordable crystals and oscillators. So it was not surprising for us to learn that they now have an integrated-crystal real time clock chip for sale. Real time clock chips are specialty low-cost chips that keep track of 'real time' (e.g. the month, day, year, hour, minute, second) so that the rest of the system can go into shutdown mode or lose power, without losing track of time. They also often have alarms so that the system can reboot out of deep sleep to perform some task at an assigned delay or timestamp. As you might expect, the important characteristics to look for in an RTC are accuracy - how close their internal timekeeping is to true time - and power draw - how long they can run off the secondary power source such as a super-cap or coin cell battery (https://www.digikey.com/en/products/detail/panasonic-energy/CR-1025-BN/269738). There's other characteristics that you may care about: the voltage range they can power off of, whether they support a secondary battery backup with auto-switchover, and of course the interface and capabilities like alarms The AB-RTC-XB-32.768KHZ-2-T3 (https://www.digikey.com/short/tp4tjzqz) has many of the things we like to look for in an RTC. First, is a standard I2C interface - most RTCs are, and this makes it easy to add to any microcontroller or microcomputer. Second is a wide operating voltage range for power and logic: 1.2V to 5.5V with both a power and IO power pad! That means it's great even for low voltage cores or 5V Arduino-compatibles, and you can have separate voltages if desired. Alongside those two pins there's also a separate VBat pin for backup battery with auto-switchover. That means when the main power cuts off, say because USB got unplugged, or the main Lipoly battery is drained, we'll switch over to a coin cell or super-cap. Of course, the big feature of this RTC is the built-in crystal. By integrating directly, they're able to have an SMT chip with no external crystal in a 3.2 x 2.5mm package - the same size as most crystals! According to the datasheet, the crystal has a 5 ±23ppm frequency stability at room temp 25℃. That translates to 28 ppm max: 86,400 × (28/1,000,000) = 2.42 seconds gain/loss per day. At the typical 'best case' of 5ppm, its 86,400 × (5/1,000,000) = 0.432 seconds per day. That's in-line with most RTC crystal specifications, although it wouldn't be considered 'high precision' since its not temperature compensated. Temp compensation is much more complex and expected, and most RTCs will get auto-sync from the controller via WiFi/BT/GPS to apply correction every day~month to get them back on track. If you need a compact real time clock with a flexible power supply setup and Abracon-quality crystal, the AB-RTC-XB-32.768KHZ-2-T3 (https://www.digikey.com/short/tp4tjzqz) is an excellent new product offering that's available and in stock at DigiKey right now! Order today and before your morning alarm goes off you'll have this chip in hand and ready to integrate into your next product design.

Wait a minute — that's not Todd! Today on Wretched Radio, Fortis Institute Fellow and Integrated host Dr. John Crotts steps in as guest host to help you move from simply knowing your Bible to actually using it in everyday life. Segment 1: • Knowing Scripture isn't the goal—using it to shape your thinking is. • False teaching thrives when churches aren't equipped; believers need to minister, not just pastors. • Ephesians 4: we mature by speaking truth in love, not by outsourcing ministry. Segment 2: • God's Word revives, gives wisdom, and produces joy—but only if you're reading it regularly. • Build daily Bible habits: set a plan, pick a place, and keep showing up. • Small consistent steps create massive long-term spiritual growth. Segment 3: • Bible knowledge isn't trivia—it's functional: learn the storyline, genres, and historical context. • Big picture understanding gives depth to daily reading and real-life application. • Knowing how the Bible fits together helps you obey it, not just admire it. Segment 4: • Use tools: concordance, chapter summaries, and group study to deepen understanding. • Apply Scripture to your personal struggles and current crises to grow spiritual muscle. • Church is for equipping each other—learning truth together sharpens everyone's walk. ___ Thanks for listening!
