Podcasts about Life Changes

Marriage, divorce, a new baby, or a new house? Dr. Friday explains how major life events can change your tax return and why planning matters. Transcript G'day, I'm Dr. Friday, president of Dr. Friday's Tax and Financial Firm. To get more info, go to www.drfriday.com. This is a one-minute moment. We're always talking about taxes because that's what I do, but also organizing your taxes. Again, we are between two years where if you haven't filed your 2024, you still have time, and if you're getting prepared to file your 2025. So it's time to think—is there any kind of tax planning I should be looking at? Is there anything that's happened new this year? I got married. I got divorced. I had a baby. I purchased a house. Is any of this going to have an effect on your tax return? If so, are you prepared to know? Because sometimes if you've gotten divorced in a year that you are claiming married on your W-2, many times you're going to owe more money. So if you've got questions, just check us out on the web, drfriday.com. You can catch the Dr. Friday Call-in Show live every Saturday afternoon from 2 to 3 p.m. right here on 99.7 WTN.

In this episode of The Real Deal Podcast, Abby and Regan discuss their return after a longgg summer break, reflecting on the changes in their lives and parenting journeys. They emphasize the importance of living in the moment, the choice of love in relationships, and the challenges of motherhood. The conversation also touches on the significance of faith over feelings and the power of saying no to avoid burnout. The hosts encourage listeners to embrace their roles as parents and to find strength in their faith during challenging times. "I am so content in my life." "We can't outrun His love." "What an honor that He chose us." Takeaways The podcast has rebranded to cover broader topics beyond parenting. Life changes rapidly, and it's important to cherish each moment. Living in the moment can lead to feelings of contentment and joy. Parenthood is a journey filled with milestones and memories. Love in marriage and parenthood is a choice, not just a feeling. It's essential to learn the power of saying no to avoid burnout. Faith should be prioritized over feelings in relationships. God's presence is constant, even when we don't feel it. Parents are chosen for this time in history to raise their children. It's a great time to be alive and fight for our faith.

Ryan Francis performs under the name "Huge Huge" (@hugeeugeofficial), was in cult-favorite indie horror movie ThanksKilling, and is (dubbed by me) a real good liver of life!  Ryan's back on the show this week for a proper catch up and my goodness does it not dissapoint.  If you're a longtime listener of this show, you'll know that one, Ryan is a past guest of the show with his first appearance being back on episode 41 and that in itself is worth going back and listening to if you haven't. It's one of my favorite conversations. So, I say, if you're an avid listener, there's a chance you'll know how much I appreciate the conversation I had with Ryan. For many reasons I could list again, mainly covering how the conversation was filled with a lot of very fun stories and reminders to just live life and let yourself experience things, and this episode, is such a great follow up to that. So while Ryan shares many new fun stories of what he's been up to with his music project Huge Euge, the crazy story of playing Riot Fest, and a lot of other fun stuff I've come to expect from him, he actually also opens up about grief and processing the loss of his mom. I'm incredibly thankful for Ryan being as open as he is in this conversation and I just can't say how much I appreciate him sharing all the highs and the deepest of lows in this one. And for all of that, it's a really great conversation that I'm very excited to share with you guys.

In this heartfelt solo episode of "Do I Really Hate Men," Ang shares a personal reflection on transitioning from being a single mom to entering the "empty nest" phase, which she embraces as her new "single powerhouse" era. She opens up about the emotional challenges and pride she feels as her two sons move into their independent lives—one joining the RAF and the other pursuing a career at sea. Ang also addresses a social media phrase she encountered this summer, "married single mom," critiquing its meaning and the way it undermines the true challenges faced by single mothers. (00:00) Introduction and Podcast Overview(02:04) Personal Updates and Life Changes(05:15) Embracing Empty Nest Syndrome(06:42) Book Recommendation: The Let Them Theory(07:58) Listener Stories and Podcast Evolution(09:01) Rant: The Concept of Married Single Moms(20:02) Empowerment and Final Thoughts KEY TAKEAWAYS Transitioning to an empty nest as a single mom is both challenging and empowering. The term "married single mom" diminishes the true struggles of single mothers. Single moms carry full emotional, physical, and financial burdens largely alone. Leaving unsupportive relationships can be an important step toward self-empowerment. BEST MOMENTS "Sometimes a man's only purpose in life is to show you that you'll be just fine on your own." "Single moms are absolutely super women every single day, carrying emotional, physical, and financial burdens alone." "There is no halfway house between being married and being a single mom—if you're not getting support, it might be time to move on." "Empty nest syndrome is harder for single moms, but it's also a chance to embrace a new powerful chapter in life."

Send us a textLife doesn't always go according to plan—and transitions can leave us feeling uncertain, restless, or even fearful. In this episode, I am sharing what I've went through last few month and here is exercise to help you move through difficult transitions with more peace, clarity, and confidence. “Surrender & Steward” Journaling ExerciseFocus: Letting go of control and embracing trust in God's plan.Scripture: “Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding.” – Proverbs 3:5-6How to Practice:Write down what transition you're currently facing and what feels uncertain.Draw two columns: “God's Part” and “My Part.”List what belongs in God's control (timing, outcomes, other people's choices) and what you can steward (your actions, prayers, preparation, and faith).Faith Solution:When you visually see what belongs to God, anxiety lessens. Steward what's in your control with excellence, and surrender the rest in prayer daily.

Fluent Fiction - Swedish: Navigating Life's Storms: A Journey Through the Skärgården Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/sv/episode/2025-09-23-22-34-02-sv Story Transcript:Sv: Hösten hade kommit till Skärgården.En: Autumn had arrived in the Skärgården.Sv: Träden var klädda i gyllene och röda färger, och vinden bar med sig en doft av havssalt.En: The trees were dressed in golden and red hues, and the wind carried a scent of sea salt.Sv: Linnea, Erik och Sofia hade planerat en helgsegling.En: Linnea, Erik, and Sofia had planned a weekend sailing trip.Sv: Det var en chans att fly från vardagens stress och den hektiska stan.En: It was a chance to escape the stress of everyday life and the bustling city.Sv: Linnea kände sig pressad.En: Linnea felt pressured.Sv: Jobbet i Stockholm tog alla hennes krafter.En: The job in Stockholm took all her energy.Sv: Hon drömde om förändring, kanske en ny karriär.En: She dreamed of change, perhaps a new career.Sv: Hon hoppades på att seglingsturen skulle ge henne klarhet och inspiration.En: She hoped that the sailing trip would give her clarity and inspiration.Sv: Båten gled mjukt över vattnet.En: The boat glided smoothly over the water.Sv: Sofia styrde medan Erik ordnade med seglen.En: Sofia was steering while Erik managed the sails.Sv: Linnea satt vid relingen, blicken ut över det vidsträckta havet.En: Linnea sat by the railing, gazing out over the vast sea.Sv: Solen var låg på himlen, och de första stjärnorna började tändas.En: The sun was low in the sky, and the first stars were starting to appear.Sv: "Det är vackert här," sa Erik, och Linnea nickade tyst.En: "It's beautiful here," said Erik, and Linnea nodded silently.Sv: Ändå var hennes tankar på annat håll.En: Yet her thoughts were elsewhere.Sv: Hon funderade på sitt liv, framtiden, och vad som egentligen var viktigt för henne.En: She pondered her life, the future, and what was truly important to her.Sv: Plötsligt mörknade himlen snabbt.En: Suddenly the sky darkened quickly.Sv: Molnen samlades och vinden ökade.En: Clouds gathered, and the wind picked up.Sv: "Det ser ut som en storm kommer," ropade Sofia, orolig.En: "It looks like a storm is coming," shouted Sofia, worried.Sv: Erik försökte höja blicken från seglen och lämnade rodret till Linnea.En: Erik tried to raise his gaze from the sails and left the rudder to Linnea.Sv: Inom kort var stormen över dem.En: Before long, the storm was upon them.Sv: Vågorna blev högre och vinden skakade båten.En: The waves grew higher, and the wind shook the boat.Sv: Linnea kände rädslan växa inom sig.En: Linnea felt fear growing within her.Sv: Men något inuti henne vaknade också.En: But something inside her also awoke.Sv: En gnista av mod hon inte kände sig ha tidigare.En: A spark of courage she hadn't felt before.Sv: "Vi måste hitta skydd," sa Linnea högt, mer till sig själv än till de andra.En: "We must find shelter," Linnea said aloud, more to herself than to the others.Sv: Med stadig hand tog hon grepp om rodret.En: With a steady hand, she gripped the rudder.Sv: Hon koncentrerade sig, ignorerade vindens tjutande och styrde båten mot ett närområde hon hade läst om, en säker bukt.En: She concentrated, ignored the howling wind, and steered the boat toward an area she had read about, a safe cove.Sv: Erik och Sofia litade på henne, de följde hennes instruktioner utan att tveka.En: Erik and Sofia trusted her, they followed her instructions without hesitation.Sv: Vågorna krossade mot skrovet, men Linnea förblev fokuserad.En: Waves crashed against the hull, but Linnea remained focused.Sv: Hon manövrerade båten genom stormen, ledd av en nyfunnen styrka.En: She maneuvered the boat through the storm, guided by newfound strength.Sv: Till slut nådde de inloppet där vattnet var lugnare.En: Finally, they reached the inlet where the water was calmer.Sv: Båten lade tyst till vid en liten brygga.En: The boat quietly docked at a small pier.Sv: Stormen avtog sakta, och med det kom en känsla av lugn över dem alla.En: The storm slowly subsided, and with it came a sense of calm over them all.Sv: Linnea sjönk ner på däck, andades djupt.En: Linnea sank down on the deck, breathed deeply.Sv: Hjärtat slog snabbt, men inte av rädsla längre.En: Her heart was beating fast, but no longer out of fear.Sv: Av glädje och lättnad.En: Out of joy and relief.Sv: Sofia log, "Du gjorde det, Linnea."En: Sofia smiled, "You did it, Linnea."Sv: "Ja," svarade hon och kände för första gången på länge att hon kunde möta vilken storm som helst, både till sjöss och i livet.En: "Yes," she replied, feeling for the first time in a long while that she could face any storm, both at sea and in life.Sv: Hon var redo att ta risker, göra förändringar, och se vart de tog henne.En: She was ready to take risks, make changes, and see where they would lead her.Sv: När morgonsolen steg över horisonten hade Linnea funnit något hon inte väntat sig — sig själv.En: When the morning sun rose over the horizon, Linnea had found something she didn't expect — herself.

What do you do as a reader when things change in your life that you have no control over? You pick yourself up, of course, and head to the bookshelf for something to read to get you through it. At least that's the plan. So, when my life took a bit of a meh turn this week, I did exactly that, but what books did I pick up? The episode is a little shorter, but still, books are at the core, so join me with a cup of tea and hear my thoughts as I go through the books that get me through.

Send us a textDr. Amanda Zeine never planned to join the military — but her path led her from ROTC to becoming a pediatrician and Army flight surgeon, serving two deployments overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. After sustaining a traumatic brain injury, Amanda faced the devastating reality that she could no longer practice medicine.In this powerful conversation, she opens up about the struggles of losing her identity, rebuilding her life, and finding purpose in unexpected ways. Today, she's the author of Hot Mess to Wellness and the middle grade series The Cul-de-sac Kids, creating stories that fill a gap for military children.Join us as Amanda shares her journey of resilience, reinvention, and the courage to keep moving forward when life doesn't go as planned.Amanda's Bio:Dr. Zeine was born and raised in a small town in Central Illinois. As a child, she dreamed of becoming a doctor and, after high school, attended Illinois State University while participating in the ROTC program. She graduated in 2002 with a B.S. in science. After graduating as a Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine in 2007, she attended her pediatric residency with the United States Army at Tripler Army Medical Center. While in residency, she was blessed with a beautiful daughter. After graduation, she was moved to Ft. Campbell, KY, and has practiced as a pediatrician and Army flight surgeon. While serving as a flight surgeon, she was deployed twice. In December 2018, Dr. Zeine sustained a traumatic brain injury. After an eleven-year career as a physician, she lost her identity when she could no longer practice effectively as a physician. It was then that she wrote her first book Hot Mess to Wellness. Being a pediatrician in the Army, she noted a lack of books for older military brats. She is hoping her new series The Cul-de-sac Kids will fill that void.Connect with Amanda:WebsiteFacebookInstagramBook InstagramLinkedInSubstackOrder Amanda's Books: Hot Mess to Welness - Order HereChloe the "Military Brat" (Cul-de-sac Kids) - Order HereComming Soon: Stronger Together (Cul-de-sac Kidss)Stay in the loop with the new Different Ability® product I'll be launching!Sign Up Here!Shop new products here!Places you can reach me at:Website:https://kateyfortun.com/https://kateyfortun.com/podcastInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/kateyfortun/https://www.instagram.com/differentabilitypodcast/

In this episode, Guy talked with  Dr. Bruce Greyson, a retired psychiatrist and an author. He discussed the transformative effects of near-death experiences (NDEs). He explained how NDEs profoundly change people's lives, making them more compassionate and less materialistic. Dr. Greyson shared compelling stories, including that of a Marine whose NDE made him unable to continue his military duties. He highlighted the growing recognition of NDEs in the medical community and the need for further research. The episode also delved into Dr. Greyson's personal journey, the scientific challenges in studying NDEs, and the universal message of interconnectedness and compassion. About Bruce: Dr. Bruce Greyson is the Chester Carlson Professor Emeritus of Psychiatry and Neurobehavioral Sciences at the University of Virginia.  He was previously on the medical faculty at the University of Michigan and the University of Connecticut, where he was Clinical Chief of Psychiatry. Dr. Greyson has consulted with the National Institutes of Health and addressed symposia on consciousness at the United Nations and at the Dalai Lama's compound in Dharamsala, India. Dr. Greyson's interest in near-death experiences began just a few months after graduating from medical school, when he treated an unconscious patient in the emergency room who stunned him the next morning with an account of leaving her body. That event challenged his beliefs about the mind and the brain, and ultimately led him on a journey to study near-death experiences scientifically, leading to more than a hundred publications in medical journals.  He co-founded the International Association for Near-Death Studies (IANDS), an organization to support and promote research into these experiences, and for 27 years edited the Journal of Near-Death Studies, the only scholarly journal dedicated to near-death research. Through his research, he has discovered common and universal themes in near-death experiences that go beyond neurophysiological or cultural interpretations, as well as patterns of consistent aftereffects on individuals' attitudes, beliefs, values, and personalities.

Summary Dr. Amy Vertrees, a surgeon, author, podcast host, and certified coach, delivered the first session of a launch week series aimed at new attending physicians. The presentation focused on common mistakes new attendings make and strategies to avoid them. Dr.Vertrees emphasized that the information shared was based on her own experiences and lessons learned throughout her career. Dr.Vertrees began by outlining the week-long series of presentations, which would cover topics including office manager insights, money management for physicians, handling complications, legal risks, time management, and efficient note-taking. She emphasized that these sessions were designed to be interactive, encouraging participants to ask questions through chat or Q&A features. A central theme of Dr.Vertrees' presentation was the importance of mastery and recognition for job satisfaction. She explained that mastery means being good at one's job, while recognition involves being acknowledged for one's skills and contributions. Dr.Vertrees noted that this formula applies not only to physicians but to everyone in the workplace, highlighting the importance of recognizing others' contributions and allowing them to develop mastery in their roles. Dr.Vertrees discussed the significance of understanding organizational culture, including the mission, beliefs, and values of one's workplace. She advised new attendings to consider whether their personal values align with their organization's culture, as misalignment can lead to dissatisfaction. She also emphasized that new physicians bring valuable perspectives and should feel confident in suggesting changes, though she recommended approaching such suggestions carefully by first asking questions to understand existing practices. The presentation covered strategies for dealing with difficult colleagues, emphasizing that communication breakdowns can make any colleague difficult. Dr.Vertrees offered practical advice for improving interactions, including focusing on what people actually say rather than interpretations, examining what meaning one assigns to others' words, and understanding one's own stress responses (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn). She suggested that recognizing these patterns in oneself can help in understanding others' behaviors as well. Dr.Vertrees addressed the topic of being reported or receiving negative feedback, advising attendees to view such situations as opportunities for growth rather than threats. She emphasized the importance of participating in leadership positions and committees to have influence in one's organization, noting that "you're either at the table or you're on the menu." The presentation also covered personal development topics such as overcoming imposter syndrome, which Dr.Vertrees defined as feeling inadequate despite demonstrated success. She offered strategies for challenging negative thoughts by turning statements into questions and comparing oneself to past versions rather than to others. Dr.Vertrees distinguished between confidence (which comes from repeated experience) and self-confidence (the courage to act despite fear). Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of marketing oneself effectively, emphasizing that marketing involves knowing one's values and being authentic. She encouraged attendees to embrace their unique qualities rather than conforming to stereotypical surgeon personas. She also addressed the topic of getting paid appropriately, emphasizing the importance of timely documentation, proper coding, and understanding the revenue cycle. The presentation concluded with advice on tracking various aspects of one's practice, including finances, cases, clinic metrics, and complications. Dr.Vertrees stressed the importance of adapting to life changes and having contingency plans, including knowing one's contract details and having an exit strategy. She offered strategies for dealing with negative emotions, particularly shame, and emphasized the importance of seeking help when needed. Throughout the presentation, Dr.Vertrees maintained that physicians should give themselves permission to quit if necessary, while also finding purpose in their work. She concluded by emphasizing treatments that address root problems, including therapy, coaching, journaling, community support, and sometimes medications. Chapter Introduction to Launch Week for New Attendings ‎ 00:00:02 Dr. AmyVertrees welcomed participants to the first day of launch week, designed specifically for new attending physicians. She explained that the purpose of these sessions was to share information she wished she had known when starting as a new attending. Dr.Vertrees encouraged interaction through chat or Q&A features and introduced herself as a surgeon, author, podcast host, and certified coach. She outlined the week's topics, including office manager insights, money management, handling complications, legal risks, time management, and efficient note-taking. Mastery and Recognition: The Key to Job Satisfaction ‎ 00:03:20 Dr.Vertrees identified mastery and recognition as the fundamental elements of job satisfaction. She defined mastery as being good at one's job and recognition as being acknowledged for one's skills and contributions. She emphasized that this formula applies to everyone in the workplace and highlighted the importance of recognizing others' contributions. Dr.Vertrees cautioned against the mistake of doing everything oneself, as this robs others of the opportunity to develop mastery and receive recognition. Understanding Organizational Culture ‎ 00:05:28 Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of understanding the culture of one's organization, including its mission, beliefs, and values. She advised attendees to consider whether their personal values align with their organization's culture, noting that misalignment becomes evident over time. Dr.Vertrees emphasized that new physicians bring valuable perspectives and should feel confident in suggesting changes, though she recommended approaching such suggestions carefully by first asking questions to understand existing practices. Navigating Difficult Colleagues and Communication ‎ 00:07:46 Dr.Vertrees addressed the challenge of difficult colleagues, noting that communication breakdowns can make any colleague difficult. She offered practical advice for improving interactions, including focusing on what people actually say rather than interpretations, examining what meaning one assigns to others' words, and understanding one's own stress responses (fight, flight, freeze, or fawn). She suggested that recognizing these patterns in oneself can help in understanding others' behaviors as well. Handling Reports and Feedback ‎ 00:11:52 Dr.Vertrees discussed how to handle situations where one is reported or receives negative feedback. She advised viewing such situations as opportunities for feedback rather than threats, noting that a report simply generates paperwork that someone needs to address. She emphasized the importance of maintaining a good headspace to respond appropriately, whether the feedback indicates an area for personal improvement or a situation to be cautious about. Participating in Organizational Leadership ‎ 00:13:31 Dr.Vertrees emphasized the importance of participating in leadership positions and committees to have influence in one's organization, stating "you're either at the table or you're on the menu." She encouraged attendees to get involved at hospital, state, or national levels, while being selective about which positions to take on. Dr.Vertrees advised being clear about one's motivations for taking on leadership roles and understanding that such roles are often what one makes of them. Creating Personal Safety and Understanding Values ‎ 00:15:18 Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of understanding one's personal culture and values, especially when working in a difficult organizational culture. She emphasized that clarity about one's values helps in making decisions and recommended values exercises to gain self-awareness. Dr.Vertrees addressed the concept of scarcity, noting that feelings of not having enough can trigger unhelpful "hustle" behaviors and that new physicians may trigger scarcity feelings in established colleagues. Establishing Boundaries ‎ 00:18:32 Dr.Vertrees outlined five steps for establishing effective boundaries: defining the boundary, communicating it to relevant parties, outlining consequences for boundary violations, enforcing those consequences, and allowing oneself to make exceptions when appropriate. She used the example of after-hours patient calls to illustrate these steps, emphasizing that a boundary isn't truly established unless all five steps are followed. Addressing Imposter Syndrome ‎ 00:21:09 Dr.Vertrees defined imposter syndrome as feeling inadequate despite demonstrated success, a phenomenon first identified in high-achieving women in academia in 1978. She explained that people with imposter syndrome have negative thoughts despite outward success, making it difficult for others to understand or help. Dr.Vertrees suggested turning negative statements into questions to challenge these thoughts, such as changing "I'm not doing this right" to "Am I okay?" Challenging Common Negative Thoughts ‎ 00:24:50 Dr.Vertrees identified common negative thoughts that high-achieving people experience, including fears of being perceived as lazy, doubts about one's abilities, and comparisons to others. She emphasized that these thoughts can be challenged and reframed, noting that the job itself is genuinely difficult and that comparing oneself to others can be useful if done constructively rather than destructively. Understanding Confidence and Self-Confidence ‎ 00:32:18 Dr.Vertrees distinguished between confidence, which comes from repeated experience, and self-confidence, which is the courage to act despite fear. She explained that confidence develops through muscle memory and repetition, while self-confidence involves trusting oneself to handle negative emotions and potential failures. Dr.Vertrees emphasized that these feelings are generated by one's own thoughts and actions. Marketing Yourself Effectively ‎ 00:34:09 Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of marketing oneself effectively, framing it as shifting from an employee mindset to a CEO mindset. She defined business as an exchange of value for money and emphasized the importance of understanding one's own value. Dr.Vertrees encouraged attendees to be authentic rather than conforming to stereotypical surgeon personas, noting that authenticity often receives positive feedback. She emphasized that marketing happens in every interaction, not just through formal channels. Getting Paid Appropriately ‎ 00:39:16 Dr.Vertrees addressed the topic of getting paid appropriately, emphasizing that it's acceptable to expect payment for providing value. She described notes as invoices for one's work, highlighting their importance for patient care, mental health, pre-authorization, and communication with primary care. Dr. Vertries explained the revenue cycle (work → invoice → coding → billing → collections) and stressed the importance of understanding this process to ensure business sustainability and avoid fraud. Tracking Practice Metrics ‎ 00:44:01 Dr.Vertrees emphasized the importance of tracking various aspects of one's practice, including finances, cases, clinic metrics, and complications. She recommended evaluating each clinic session by identifying three things that worked well, three areas for improvement, and one next step. Dr.Vertrees explained the concept of "clinic math" (the ratio of patients seen to operations booked) and how understanding this ratio can help in planning and potentially modifying one's practice. Adapting to Life Changes ‎ 00:50:17 Dr.Vertrees discussed the importance of adapting to life changes, noting that jobs and personal circumstances evolve over time. She emphasized that tracking helps one see these changes while planning helps one adjust to them. Dr.Vertrees pointed out that people often fail to modify their work approach when major life events occur, such as having children, leading to frustration when previous patterns no longer work. Important Documents and Contingency Planning ‎ 00:51:52 Dr.Vertrees highlighted important documents that physicians should be familiar with, including their contracts, hospital bylaws, and credentialing information. She emphasized the importance of having an exit plan, even when starting a new job, as this provides confidence and prevents feeling trapped. Dr. Vertries also mentioned the importance of tracking deadlines for licenses, DEA credentials, contract renewals, and continuing medical education requirements. Managing Negative Emotions and Shame ‎ 00:54:24 Dr.Vertrees addressed the management of negative emotions, particularly shame, which she defined as the feeling that "there's something wrong with me." She credited Brené Brown for three steps of shame resilience: reaching out to a trusted source, talking kindly to oneself, and owning one's story to control the ending. Dr.Vertrees warned that shame leads to isolation and harmful coping mechanisms, emphasizing the importance of addressing it directly. Permission to Quit and Finding Purpose ‎ 00:55:38 Dr.Vertrees shared her personal strategy of giving herself permission to quit every day, which paradoxically helps her remember why she continues in her profession. She acknowledged that eventually, one might take that permission and actually quit, which is acceptable because "this is your one and only life." Dr.Vertrees emphasized that this approach has allowed her to work harder while maintaining perspective on her purpose. Helpful Approaches and Conclusion ‎ 00:57:17 Dr.Vertrees concluded by discussing approaches that help address the root causes of problems, including therapy, coaching, journaling, community support, and sometimes medications. She emphasized the importance of recognizing one's thought patterns, developing new patterns, and having accountability. Dr.Vertrees reminded attendees about the next session on office manager insights and encouraged questions from participants.
