About the Guest: Kaaren Watts is a behavioral scientist with a significant background in researching eating disorders. Her personal experience with anorexia nervosa has not only inspired her to explore the depth of this subject matter academically but also professionally. Watts has turned her struggles into academic excellence by authoring a PhD centered around the psychological reactions to body image stimuli in media, focusing on its effects on young women's body satisfaction. She is presently celebrated for her courage in candidly discussing her own eating disorder battle, aiming to promote hope and reduce stigma about mental health. Key Takeaways: Eating disorders can occur at any age, including for women over 40, and are often exacerbated by factors like social media influence and societal pressures. Anorexia nervosa and other eating disorders have serious mental, emotional, and physical health consequences, but recovery is possible with appropriate treatment. Seeking treatment involves engaging with a multidisciplinary team of health professionals, and early intervention can significantly enhance the recovery process. The pervasive nature of diet culture and media portrayal of ideal body images plays a critical role in the development of body dissatisfaction and subsequent eating disorders. The Butterfly Foundation offers valuable resources for those affected by eating disorders, including a support hotline and access to professional help. Notable Quotes: "The incidence of eating disorders is on the rise and includes among women in our 40 plus fabulous demographic." "I liken it to being in a vice… the eating disorder also constrains you, it binds you." "It is absolutely possible to recover from an eating disorder. Life is a God-given gift and it's worth seizing the opportunity to recover." "I've grieved enormously this year for missed opportunities… But it's never too late to seek help." "Diet culture in Australia is rife in the media, and even amongst ourselves, we have all these unhelpful ways of talking about food." Resources: Butterfly Foundation: Offers crucial support for individuals dealing with eating disorders. They have a helpline available at 1800 34 673, operational from 8 AM to midnight, Australia Eastern Standard Time. More details can be found on their official website.

How can you use your retirement accounts to reach FIRE faster? We've talked a lot about the “middle-class trap”—having too much of your net worth trapped in your retirement accounts and home equity—and we may have the secret weapon to help you escape it. Not only that, this strategy allows you to keep more of what you earn, take control of your investments, and build a (relatively) passive real estate portfolio while you get closer and closer to FIRE. Of course, we're talking about self-directed IRAs and Kaaren Hall's new book, Self-Directed IRA Investing: A BiggerPockets Guide (use code “SDIRA10” for 10% off)!  Never heard of them? Self-directed IRAs (SDIRAs) are retirement accounts that give you more control over what you invest in. So, instead of just stocks and bonds, you can use your retirement funds to buy rental properties, become a passive private money lender, and invest in real estate syndications. These investments can often get higher returns than stock market averages, helping you reach your retirement goals faster! So, how do you use it to escape the middle-class trap? Today, Kaaren shares some of the often overlooked strategies to withdraw early from your self-directed IRA so you can FIRE in your forties or fifties instead of waiting until your sixties!

Leadership is at the heart of every Title IX coordinator's role, making it essential to have a clear vision. This episode, the first in a series on leadership, revisits a past conversation with Dr. Kaaren Williamsen, Director of the Prevention Education, Assistance & Resources (PEAR) unit within the Equity, Civil Rights, and Title IX Office at the University of Michigan. In this insightful discussion, Kaaren offers valuable guidance for Title IX coordinators as they lead efforts on campuses and in districts. She also shares strategies for incorporating restorative justice practices into their work, distinguishing restorative intervention from mediation, and encouraging a broader perspective that prioritizes responsibility. This approach moves beyond simply addressing policy violations to genuinely meeting human needs. Join us as we explore these topics and more. Key Points From This Episode: The content of this episode: a replay of a past conversation with the highly experienced Dr. Kaaren Williamsen.  Her professional journey which began at Carlton College. What her role at the University of Michigan's Sexual Assault Prevention and Awareness Center.  Understanding the shared responsibility of creating safe spaces on campus.  Two elements to Kaaren's concept of restorative justice.  How restorative justice can be incorporated into a formal grievance process.  Adapting to specific needs for justice and accountability on a case-by-case basis.  How choosing a restorative approach empowers Title IX workers. Reframing an understanding of the processes and their purpose.  Embracing a bigger vision for how to do this work.  Why every Title IX role is a leadership role.  How the entry point to restorative justice in the context of sexual misconduct differs from a mediation process. The danger of over-emphasizing reporting.  Going beyond addressing a policy violation to address human needs.

Key Takeaways Alternative investments exclude collectibles like art and cars, as well as assets that involve personal use or benefit. Self-directed IRAs allow individuals to invest in various assets, such as rental properties, without directly benefiting from them or performing any related work. Short-term rentals, including Airbnb, can be included in an IRA investment, but the tax implications can be complex depending on whether the income is considered passive or active. Different types of IRAs include traditional, Roth, SEP, simple, solo 401k, and health savings accounts (HSA). Tax considerations such as UBIT and UDFI may apply to IRA investments and could result in taxes owed, but deductions can help offset the tax liability. It's important to have a cushion in your self-directed IRA to cover expenses and potential capital calls. Self-directed IRA providers like uDirectIRA make the investment process easy with dedicated transaction coordinators.

Did you know you can invest in real estate using funds you've probably forgotten about? For years, you've been socking away money into your IRA or 401(k) to ensure an abundant retirement. The problem? You've only been able to invest those funds into passive investments like stocks, bonds, and mutual funds. What about the investors who want a more active income stream with bigger tax benefits, more equity upside, and plenty of cash flow? Can you use your retirement accounts to build wealth with real estate? If you ask Kaaren Hall, her answer is a resounding yes. Kaaren saw quickly how the real money was being made in real estate, so she began investing herself, later realizing that she could use her retirement funds to build a real estate portfolio faster. She founded uDirect IRA Services to help other investors build wealth a better way, opening up more options for passive income, so your retirement accounts can grow into the millions. If you want to scale your real estate portfolio but don't have the cash on hand, this could be your PERFECT option. Kaaren goes over exactly how to use your retirement accounts to invest in real estate, what you can (and definitely can't) do when investing this way, and how you can start raising capital for your own deal using other people's retirement funds.

A good quote says, "the only person who will take care of the older you someday is the younger you today." When we are young, we frequently put off thinking about retirement and prefer to worry about it later. However, our strength will not forever serve us well. Nevertheless, if we desire our future to be more promising, we must thoughtfully prepare for it.    Moreover, a self-directed IRA is a recommended type of individual retirement account that allows you to save for retirement with assets that are off-limits for conventional IRAs. Thus, we must seek a more profound knowledge of it since many individuals who don't utilize self-directed IRAs are unaware of it. We must also surround ourselves with like-minded people who are willing to share their failures and successes.  Their journey can teach us vicariously to learn and grow in life, knowledge, and skills. As our guest speaker says, "financial literacy is not taught in schools, but our future depends on understanding it."   Kaaren Hall is a single mother, Certified IRA Services Professional (CISP), Self-Directed IRA Professional (SDIP), CA Real Estate License, founder of Orange County Real Estate Investors Association, and the CEO of UDirect IRA Services. These services help thousands of Americans invest their IRA outside the stock market into real estate, land, private notes & more to improve their financial future. Kaaren discovered a strategic way to put her 20+ years in mortgage banking, real estate, and property management to use. Hall brings her full passion to educating Americans about the little-known investment vehicle. She has educated tens of thousands of investors and professionals on building wealth by taking control of self-directed IRAs. Through UDirect IRA, she has guided thousands of Americans through diversifying their investments using self-directed IRAs.   In this special episode with Kaaren Hall, we'll learn about the things concerning Individual Retirement Accounts. Tune in today as we discover how important it is to understand where to correctly put the hard-earned money that can better serve you in the future.    "The retirement account is for later; it's not for now. So, everything you do in this retirement account is to save for your future self." – Kaaren Hall   Topics Covered: (00:00:00) Introduction + Episode Snippet (00:00:13) Introducing our special guest, Kaaren Hall (00:00:33) Advertisement: Obtain financial freedom with passive income!

IRA is an IRA but what makes it truly self-directed is when you're investing outside of Wall Street." – Kaaren Hall   "So, to get tax protection, you have to follow certain rules and avoid the prohibited transaction." – Kaaren Hall   "Your IRA isn't going to lend money to your spouse, so they can open a business because that's a disallowed person receiving a present benefit from your retirement account." – Kaaren Hall   "Don't just pick any asset. You have to understand the assets and risks." – Kaaren Hall   "With more freedom, there's more risk." – Kaaren Hall   "Community is important. It's one way to learn and grow together by surrounding yourself with like-minded people who are willing to share their failures and successes." – Dr. Derrick Burgess   Connect with Kaaren Hall:   Website: https://udirectira.com/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@uDirectIRA/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/KaarenHall/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/udirectira   Connect with Dr. Derrick Burgess: Website: https://www.drderrickthesportsdr.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drderrickthesportsdr/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/TimeOut.SportsDr LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/derrick-burgess-72047b246/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCHGDu1zT4K_X6PnYELu8weg Email: thesportsdoctr@gmail.com   This episode of TimeOut with the SportsDr. is produced by Podcast VAs Philippines - the team that helps podcasters effectively launch and manage their podcasts, so we don't have to.

The investigative process, while crucial, has a limited scope in providing sexual assault survivors with what they need. Today's conversation takes a look into restorative justice and navigating how we can attend to the harmed person and community so that healing is the primary goal. Today's guest is Dr. Kaaren Williamsen, director of the Sexual Assault and Prevention Center at the University of Michigan (SAPAC), who imparts her knowledge, wisdom, and experience in this field. We touch on everything from what it looks like on the ground right now for Title IX Coordinators to visions for Title IX coordinators on campuses beyond compliance with Title IX.  Kaaren also explains SAPAC, and provides advice for those working on smaller campuses to achieve similar goals. Kaaren guides us in a deep dive into restorative justice and adaptability, with many learnable stories and examples of how this type of resolution supports not only the survivor but also the coordinators and the community in which it happened. We are so excited for her to share her wisdom with you today; this is one inspiring and helpful conversation you don't want to miss.
