Safiya felt a lump at 36, had no insurance, and almost didn't know where to turn. Thankfully, a referral brought her to The Rose, where our patient navigation team helped her qualify for breast cancer treatment and got her first appointment at MD Anderson scheduled in just 15 days. Through all of it, our navigators walked alongside her, and her faith, anchored by a prayer her father read her the day she was diagnosed, carried her the rest of the way. Support The Rose HERE.

What does The Rose's patient navigation mean in practical terms for someone going through treatment alone? 12. How does humor, specifically Safiyah's custom T-shirts, function as a tool for connection and encouragement in treatment settings? Timestamped Overview 00:00 Dorothy introduces the episode: Safiyah found a lump at 36 with no insurance, was referred to The Rose 10 days after her daughter turned 13, and qualified for Medicaid within weeks. 00:32 Dorothy describes Safiyah's treatment journey: chemo, surgery, radiation, hair loss, and hard conversations with two young children. She previews Safiyah's identity as a survivor who refuses to whisper. 01:51 Dorothy asks about the Phenomenal Women's event where Safiyah met Shannon McNair. Safiyah explains how a church event connected her to Nicole, who was donating proceeds to The Rose, and Safiyah shared her story. 02:38 Safiyah begins her story: January 2015, no insurance, a lump she felt and knew was not right. 03:10 Safiyah describes arriving at The Rose on January 5th, just three days after her daughter's 13th birthday, coming alone. 03:36 Safiyah explains a scheduling conflict: a court date for her daughter fell on the day scheduled for her biopsy. The Rose fit her in on a Wednesday, a day they do not normally do biopsies. 04:06 January 12, 2015: Safiyah receives her diagnosis. Invasive ductal carcinoma. 04:45 Dorothy asks how Safiyah knew to go in rather than wait. Safiyah describes several small moments, a missed earlier visit, a coworker's reaction to feeling the lump, that told her to take it seriously. 06:37 Dorothy notes Safiyah is nearly 10 to 11 years out. Safiyah confirms cancer free since July. 06:50 Safiyah talks about telling her daughter, then 13, about the diagnosis. Her daughter became an immediate and steady support, getting up at night to help without being asked. 08:09 Safiyah describes her treatment sequence: chemo first, then surgery, then radiation, then reconstruction. 08:30 Safiyah talks about hair loss. She cut her hair short before chemo started, went wig shopping with her sister as a fun outing, and found a way to own each phase of the look. 09:46 Dorothy asks how The Rose helped her get into treatment. Safiyah explains that a navigator told her not to pay for the insurance she was about to activate, and helped her qualify for breast cancer Medicaid instead. 10:41 Safiyah describes her determination to go to MD Anderson specifically, and the speed of the navigator's work. Diagnosed January 12, first MD Anderson appointment January 27. 11:33 Safiyah outlines the full treatment arc: one year of chemo including Herceptin, surgery, radiation, then reconstruction with one revision the following year. 12:23 Safiyah shares the lighter side of reconstruction. Her surgeon mentioned a tummy tuck was possible. She says that became her personal motivating bright spot. 12:55 Safiyah stopped working after her first round of chemo landed her in the hospital. Being home allowed her to be even more present for her kids. She now works from home. 13:40 Dorothy asks Safiyah to explain what she means by "a survivor who refuses to whisper." 13:55 Safiyah explains: refusing to whisper means being a voice so others know they do not have to walk alone. She describes cancer as something people mistake for a death sentence and calls herself a walking, talking testimony. 15:24 Dorothy asks whether Safiyah's optimism is inherited or developed. Safiyah says she has always been naturally optimistic and has always found purpose in speaking hope into others. 16:15 Safiyah talks about knowing family history. She was 36 at diagnosis, which means her daughter should start screening at 26. Her son also knows the full family history. 18:18 Safiyah shares that her mother had found a lump at 40 and never told anyone. Had she known, Safiyah would have started screening earlier. 19:08 Dorothy asks about Safiyah's faith. Safiyah describes the moment her father read her a prayer called "Let Go and Let God" the day she was diagnosed. That prayer became the anchor for her entire journey. 20:52 Safiyah traces several small moments she read as God's direction: the insurance paperwork timing, the court date resolving so she could focus on treatment, the Wednesday biopsy slot that should not have existed. 22:46 Dorothy reflects on how naturally encouragement flows from Safiyah. Safiyah describes stopping to talk to strangers, connecting with anyone she meets, and doing it with her kids watching, slightly impatiently. 23:44 Safiyah describes her signature T-shirt: letters rearranged to spell both "cancer" and "you too can survive." She explains it applies beyond cancer to anything hard. 25:11 Safiyah shares how her reach has expanded through family and friends passing along her name. She gets shirts custom made for people in treatment, including one that says "Cancer Chose the Wrong Diva." 26:14 Safiyah describes her radiation cohort. A woman she met daily during treatment was there the day Safiyah rang the bell. She still has photos. 26:42 Dorothy reveals this episode is recording on Safiyah's birthday. Safiyah explains why March 4th felt destined, and shows Dorothy a tattoo that reads "faith," marking January 12, 2015, her diagnosis date, as her "New Life Day." 27:41 Dorothy closes the conversation and confirms The Rose will keep Safiyah's name for patient peer support. Safiyah reiterates that The Rose gives people life and that she pours back into what was poured into her.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Knapweed and leafy spurge don't have many fans in these parts. Nobody makes the drive from Texas to pose with them and post the photos on Instagram. Invasive species aren't usually something to celebrate, because they can wreak havoc on native ecosystems in ways impossible to undo. But other invaders have gotten a much warmer welcome. One listener wonders why some non-native species – like brown trout and rainbows – are so valued in Montana.

What if the biggest threat to the landscape after a wildfire isn't the fire itself? When the flames are gone, a new battle often begins. Burned areas can become prime targets for invasive plants and noxious weeds, creating a cycle that makes future wildfires more likely and recovery more difficult. In Episode 2 of the Pull Together, Stop the Spread Podcast, host Colter Brown sits down with Dr. Jane Mangold, with MSU Extension Professor of Invasive and Noxious Weed Management at Montana State University, and Jaycie Arndt, IMAGINE Coordinator and Assistant Research Scientist at University of Wyoming, to discuss why burned landscapes are especially vulnerable to weed invasion, how wildfire and invasive species are reshaping landscapes and what landowners and communities can do to help break the cycle.

There are episodes where everything stays on track, and then there are episodes like this one.The gang kicks things off with an innocent conversation about National Corn on the Cob Day, which immediately reveals that Riz may be consuming corn in a way that should probably be investigated by professionals. From there, things somehow get even weirder.Moon recounts an encounter with a door-to-door pest control salesman that quickly escalated from a simple sales pitch into a full-blown neighborhood showdown. Was Moon justified? Was the scooter involved? Did anyone actually have time for that conversation? The answers are exactly as ridiculous as you'd expect.The crew also dives into the lost art of talking to strangers, debating whether smartphones have completely ruined human interaction or if we're all just looking for an excuse not to make awkward elevator small talk. Chris Kerber joins the conversation with thoughts on community, technology, and the strange ways people navigate the modern world.Meanwhile, a simple discussion about navigation apps turns into a surprisingly passionate defense of Waze, complete with police reports, traffic alerts, and the realization that some people trust their phones more than their own instincts.As if that wasn't enough chaos, the show detours into dream backyards featuring lazy rivers, hot tubs, waterfalls, catios, secret tunnels, fire pits, hidden rooms, underground bunkers, Japanese gardens, and enough unnecessary luxury to make every HOA president faint. If money were no object, apparently everyone on the show would immediately become either a billionaire recluse or a cartoon villain.Then comes one of the episode's unexpected highlights: food. Lots of food. Sandwiches are analyzed, Penn Station is put under investigation, onion-related crimes are documented, and the crew somehow finds themselves in yet another debate that nobody asked for but everyone has strong opinions about.Throw in sports talk, summer plans, random observations, and the kind of conversational detours that only happen when the microphones are live, and you've got exactly what listeners have come to expect from this daily comedy show.Whether you're here for the weird news, the food arguments, the backyard dreams, or just to hear grown adults passionately discuss topics that absolutely do not matter, this episode delivers the signature chaos that makes The Rizzuto Show a daily comedy show unlike any other.Grab some corn, avoid unsolicited sales pitches, and settle in for another completely normal episode of your favorite daily comedy show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Invasive hammerhead worm spotted at St. Louis County parkHeard about the gas station ‘screw method' scam?

On this deeply personal episode of SHE MD, co-host Mary Alice Haney sits down with her lifelong best friend, Stacey Hunt, to share the story of how listening to the podcast led Stacey to advocate for herself, and ultimately, catch her breast cancer early enough to save her life.After hearing the Olivia Munn episode and learning about lifetime breast cancer risk assessments, dense breast tissue, and the importance of MRIs for high-risk women, Stacey decided to take action. Despite having a recent “clear” mammogram and no symptoms, she pushed for additional testing after learning her lifetime risk score was 28%. That MRI revealed a tiny invasive lobular breast cancer hidden beneath extremely dense breast tissue; something her mammogram missed entirely.Together, Stacey, Mary Alice, and Thais Aliabadi have an emotional and eye-opening conversation about self-advocacy, early detection, dense breasts, genetic testing, the realities of a breast cancer diagnosis, treatment decisions, reconstruction options, menopause after cancer, and the emotional toll that comes with survivorship. This episode is both a powerful reminder that early detection saves lives and a call for every woman to know her lifetime risk of breast cancer.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

Inspired by the podcast's conversations around breast cancer risk assessments and early detection, Stacey advocated for additional screening despite having a recent negative mammogram and no symptoms. Her persistence led to the discovery of an early-stage invasive lobular breast cancer hidden beneath extremely dense breast tissue; a diagnosis that may have otherwise gone undetected for years.In this powerful episode, Stacey shares her deeply personal journey through diagnosis, self-advocacy, treatment, and recovery, offering an inspiring reminder of the importance of knowing your risk, trusting your instincts, and speaking up for your health.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode Nicole shares three science topics that consistently pull kids back in — space scale, invasive species, and extreme weather — with specific entry points, project ideas, and the framing that makes each one actually land. Plus a quick-start guide for each topic in this week's Substack.-----When the year is winding down and kids are coasting, you need topics that do the heavy lifting for you. In this episode Nicole walks through three science topics she keeps coming back to because they work — even in June. Space scale that makes kids go completely quiet and then explode with questions. Invasive species framed as a villain story that pulls in research, writing, and Canva. And extreme weather and natural disasters that connect science to things kids are already seeing in the news.

In this episode of Maximize Your Hunt, host Jon Teater and Ethan Tapper, who shares insights from his book 'How to Love a Forest', delve into the intricacies of deer hunting and forest management, exploring the physical demands of tracking deer, the challenges of managing degraded forests, and the strategies for restoring ecological health. They discuss the impact of invasive species and the nuanced use of herbicides in conservation efforts, emphasizing the importance of understanding forest ecosystems and the role of various species in maintaining biodiversity. takeaways Tracking deer can be a physically demanding yet rewarding experience. Maintaining physical fitness through hunting can prepare one for other outdoor activities. Every forest has unique characteristics that require tailored management strategies. Degraded forests can present significant challenges for restoration efforts. Invasive species like Japanese barberry can severely impact forest health. Herbicides can be used responsibly to manage invasive species and promote biodiversity. Understanding historical forest conditions can guide restoration practices. Creating structural diversity in forests enhances resilience and habitat quality. Acorn years can provide opportunities for regenerating oak species in degraded areas. Collaboration with conservation organizations can lead to effective management practices.

The BMA has released their long awaited review of the Cass report. The original report looked at the provision of NHS gender identity services for children and young people, and involved a review of the science underpinning those services. It also set out a plan to improve care for gender diverse young people. We talk with David Strain of the BMA's board of science to discuss their findings, and hear why they were critical of the Secretary of State, Wes Streeting's response to Cass's review. And, we hear about new research published with The BMJ that aims to help children with autism. The researchers used a non-invasive magnetic stimulation technique to target specific regions of the brain, with the goal of promoting sociality. We discuss the benefits, and how this technique might translate to treatment plans for patients. Guests: David Strain is an associate professor in cardio-metabolic health at the University of Exeter and Chair of the BMA's Board of Science. Benjamin Becker is a professor of psychology and neuroscience at the University of Hong Kong, specializing in brain-based interventions for mental disorders.

Every great hunting property has one thing in common—good habitat. But across the country, invasive plants are slowly taking over and pushing out the native vegetation that wildlife depends on. In this episode, we talk about what that looks like on real properties, how it affects hunting, and what it takes to turn things around. From deer movement to turkey nesting to quail habitat, it all starts with what's growing on your land. If you're serious about land ownership, stewardship, and better hunting, this episode is for you. #LandManagement#HuntingProperty#InvasiveSpecies#WildlifeHabitat #DeerManagement Learn more about your ad choices.

Join Steve Butler, Biologist at the Kaskaskia Biological Field Station, as he discusses invasive carp (silver carp, bighead carp, grass carp, and black carp) and their reproducing populations throughout much of the Mississippi River basin. This set of fish have altered the structure and function of aquatic food webs, thereby impacting native fish assemblages. Due to concerns about the impacts of invasive carp on aquatic ecosystems and the risks of these species spreading into the Great Lakes via the Illinois River and the Chicago Area Waterway System, considerable efforts have been undertaken to understand the ecology of these invasive fishes and implement management strategies to limit their continued expansion and mitigate their ecological impacts.Resources: Invasive Carp Regional Coordinator CommitteeManaging Invasive Carp from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife ServiceInvasive Carp CanadaNon-indigenous Aquatics Database: Silver Carp, Bighead Carp, Grass Carp, Black CarpShare your own Everyday ObservationWas there something about this topic we didn't cover?

In this episode, Invasive Fish that Walk on Land (w/ Noah Bressman), the crew gets fishy with Dr. Noah Bressman, assistant professor of physiology at Salisbury University in Maryland. There's so much to discuss! From fishing to fishkeeping, to invasive species, to cool art, Noah's life is all about fish! Did you know that there's multiple factors that will influence why a fish decides where to go when it leaves the water? For some fish it's smell or taste, others will rely on visual cues, and that's only scratching the surface! Did you know that Noah invented a word for the way neotropical armored catfish move? Hear about that and more on this week's riveting episode. Be sure to check our Dr. Bressman's art shop on RedBubble and get yourself a very cool shirt or a sticker!This podcast is brought to you by the deepsea lizardfish, Bathysaurus ferox. Named for its flat, elongated head shape and slim body, the deepsea lizardfish unlocks new fears for anyone who sees them. Why? Why don't you google one of these living nightmares and see for yourself? Maybe its lifeless black eyes. Or its pale ghoulish features. Or maybe even that giant smiling mouth, lined with hordes of sharp teeth. Either way, just know that millions of these fish lurk along the bottom of deep oceans, ready to take you across the river Styx when the time comes.

Colin Burgeson is a blues/rock guitarist, singer and songwriter from Coeur d' Alene, Idaho. His music blends soulful blues, catchy rock n' roll guitar riffs and soaring melodic leads to create a sound that can be both relaxed and slow, and upbeat and energetic. In his guitar and vocal work, you'll hear a sound influenced by the likes of Stevie Ray Vaughan, Joe Bonamassa, Eric Clapton, Eric Johnson, Gary Moore, Kenny Wayne Shepherd and much more! Colin developed a love for music starting at a young age, primarily from watching his father, Eric Burgeson. Eric was a career musician who spent time in the late 80s touring with British rock band Foghat. He began taking guitar lessons from his father at age 9 and started writing songs and joined his first band by age 15. After his first band dissolved, he focused on his studies for a few years and briefly pursued a career in law enforcement. But his passion for music never faded, and he continued to write music and hone his guitar skills until teaming up with longtime friend and bandmate Seamus Gleason, who would later perform drums on his debut solo album, to form heavy metal band Knight of Tears. The band would spend the next two years performing at various venues and festivals in the inland northwest, and released a self titled EP in 2016. As Knight of Tears became inactive in the summer of 2016, an opportunity arose, and Colin successfully auditioned for and joined Spokane hard rock band Invasive. He would spend the next three years with Invasive, touring throughout Idaho, Washington and Oregon, opening for popular touring acts such as Quiet Riot, Steel Panther, Metal Church and more, and contributed guitar tracks to the singles “Sea of Black” and “Scars.” After vocalist Gary Cook left the band in 2019, the remaining members would reconvene to form hard rock/heavy metal band Psidium. Psidium would release the album “Blood in the Water” in 2021, which led to Colin's initial partnership with Pavement Entertainment. While he enjoyed writing and performing in the hard rock and heavy metal style he had been doing for the past several years, he eventually discovered that it was no longer his passion. After listening to records by Joe Bonamassa, Stevie Ray Vaughan and Gary Moore, he decided to pursue a solo career in blues and blues-rock music, while also developing himself as a lead vocalist and frontman. During the recording of their second album in 2022, Psidium would become inactive, and he would go on to join classic rock cover band Laketown Sound and finish writing what would become his debut solo album. Psidium officially disbanded in 2023, and Colin shifted his focus to his solo career, completing the album in the fall of 2025. Currently, Colin is performing at festivals and events in the Inland Northwest with Laketown Sound, while preparing to release his debut solo album, “From Sunshine Into Shadow,” with tour dates and performances to follow!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.
From the Emerald Ash Borer to Zebra Mussels, Oregon is no stranger to invasive species. The state has a management plan in place that aims to detect invasive species early on, educate the public and prevent their entry into Oregon to begin with. But there are other tools that government agencies and researchers use around the world: dogs. Conservation dogs are trained canines that help locate invasive and endangered species, as well as playing a role in data collection for research. Jennifer Hartman and Heath Smith are co-founders of Rogue Detection Dogs. They both join us to share more on what makes a good conservation dog and how they got into this work to begin with.
The annual "buyback" program spearheaded by the Missouri Invasive Plant Council offers residents a free native tree in exchange for removing invasive Callery pear. It's part of a larger effort to encourage more sustainable, pollinator-friendly landscaping choices and educate people about what's in their backyards.
