Sharon Macey's journey from stay-at-home mom to podcast host and competitive dancer offers a refreshing roadmap for life's second act. The question that guided her wasn't "What do I want to do when I grow up?" but rather "What do I want to do when my kids grow up?"—a subtle distinction that resonates deeply with women navigating the transition from active motherhood to their next chapter.What makes Sharon's approach so accessible is her emphasis on baby steps. "The beauty of taking a baby step is that if it doesn't work, we can pivot," she explains, giving women permission to experiment without the pressure of getting it perfectly right the first time. Her own return to dance after many years away led her to Latin ballroom competitions, complete with spray tans and elaborate costumes—a testament to the joy that comes from reconnecting with forgotten passions.The conversation explores how friendships evolve, family dynamics shift, and faith deepens as we age. Sharon challenges the notion that making friends gets harder with age, noting how her social circle has expanded in her sixties. Both women discuss the intentionality required to maintain connections with adult children while embracing this new phase of life. Most powerfully, Sharon reminds listeners that reinvention is deeply personal: "You do you, and no one does you better than you." Whether that means launching a podcast, playing pickleball, or simply focusing on wellness, the path forward should reflect your unique desires, not external expectations.Ready to take your own baby step toward reinvention? Listen now and discover how the wisdom, resilience, and experience you've gained become your greatest assets in creating life's most meaningful chapters.

A climate professor says forestry isn't the answer to climate change. It comes after Parliament's environment watchdog released a report proposing completely removing the ability of carbon polluters to rely on planting trees to meet their climate obligations, instead of cutting their emissions. Victoria University Adjunct Professor of Climate Change Adrian Macey told Mike Hosking we need a more comprehensive approach to tackling climate change. He says planting trees simply isn't good enough. Macey says planting trees isn't a 'get out of jail free' card, but rather a suspended sentence.

In this episode, we challenged ourselves to create an entire episode without mentioning photography, not even once! What seemed simple at first turned out to be a tough but rewarding experiment. The episode serves as an experiment and demonstration of how it's okay to take a pause from your duties, even when an audience has come to expect something specific from you. This rare break gave us the chance to check in on each other as friends, leading to off the cuff discussions about favorite books, Seth learning Norwegian, Aaron rediscovering his love for music, and much more. We talk about the art of play, toe yoga (yes you read that right), raising a Husky, and how stepping away from your passions can spark new inspiration.We'll return to photography-focused episodes next week, but for now, enjoy this refreshing detour.

When faced with the question "If everything is meaningless, why bother?" how do we push forward as creatives and start or resume sharing our work again?Seth and Aaron explore what it means to create in a world that often feels saturated, overwhelming, and cosmically insignificant. They reflect on their own experiences of creative nihilism, the creeping sense that no creative act really matters in the grand scheme of things, and how they've worked to overcome the detachment that can stem from that feeling.What starts as a discussion about social media and the challenges of sharing work evolves into an exploration of purpose, authenticity, and how to reframe the act of creating. From letting go of perfectionism to finding joy in absurdity, Seth and Aaron remind us that the antidote to the despair of meaninglessness is to make your own meaning, however small or silly it may seem.Expect to Learn:- How meaninglessness can be an opportunity to create your own purpose.- How to get to a place where you don't feel like you're "ego sharing" your work- To combat nihilism by experimenting with absurd or whimsical ideas.- How to view "sharing your work" as the final stage in the creative process.- To reconnect with people when you're detached and struggling to relate.Sponsor:Thanks to WhiteWall for being our lead sponsor this episode!

Lent is a beautiful invitation to slow down, refocus on Jesus, and draw our families closer to Him.

Why does hard work sometimes fall short of delivering the results we expect? In this episode, we uncover the non-linear relationship between effort and success, challenging the idea that rewards are always proportional to the work we put in. Through self reflections, we discuss the frustration around fairness, the role of external validation, and the power of self-auditing to find your "fifth gear" without burning out. By asking tough questions about our motivations—why we create, what truly matters, and how to align effort with purpose—this conversation aims to inspire a more intentional, fulfilling approach to chasing your creative goals.Expect to learn:-Why success isn't always proportional to effort-How to spot diminishing returns in your work-The importance of peeling back the layers of your "why"-How external validation can derail your creative process and what to do instead-Why fairness is an illusion and how accepting this can help you focus on youSponsor:Thanks to Tamron for being our lead sponsor this episode!

I'm Stacey Simms and every other Friday I bring you a short episode with the top diabetes stories and headlines happening now. XX Big warning from the FDA about medical alerts from smart phones. They're warning that they've received multiple reports of users missing or not hearing important medical alerts from their phones, leading to cases of dangerously low blood sugar and even death. But the FDA warns that certain phone settings, such as pausing notifications, may cause patients to miss critical updates. In other cases, connecting the phone to a new audio source, such as a car stereo, could change the volume of the alerts users are accustomed to hearing. They have some recommendations to help, mostly just confirming alarms are working before you need them.. and I'll link up the full story in the show notes. Reading between the lines here, it seems like the problem here may be the thousands of unregulated apps that make health claims – not just for people with diabetes. So it's a good idea to check the apps you're using and the companies that make them. https://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/health/patients-using-diabetes-apps-can-miss-critical-alerts-heres-how-to-make-sure-youre-getting-them/ XX What costs less during pregnancy? CGM or finger sticks? In the real word, a new study says CGM costs less… Okay, first keep in mind that the cost savings here wasn't about the glucose monitoring supplies, it was about a lower rate of neonatal ICU admissions. In a base-case analysis in which researchers assumed all women would use seven finger sticks per day as dictated by the American Diabetes Association's guidelines for diabetes management in pregnancy, CGM had a higher per-person cost than SMBG. However, in a real-world analysis in which women with a CGM used three finger sticks per day and those performing SMBG used five finger sticks daily, CGM was more cost-effective. In the real-world analysis, CGM users had a per-person cost of $2,747 for the CGM, $988 for finger sticks and $9,973 for neonatal ICU admissions. For SMBG, finger sticks cost $1,647 and neonatal ICU admission costs were $12,876. The reduction in neonatal ICU admission rates with CGM use led to a mean cost savings of $2,903 in the real-world analysis. “These findings justify paying for CGM devices in type 1 diabetes pregnancies, even in the U.S., which has an expensive health care system,” Polsky said future research should focus on the cost-effectiveness of automated insulin delivery systems in pregnancy.   “Automated insulin delivery use has been shown to improve glycemic outcomes in type 1 diabetes pregnancies, but it is still unclear if it improves maternal or neonatal health outcomes and if it would be cost-beneficial,” Polsky said. https://www.healio.com/news/endocrinology/20250205/cgm-may-lead-to-lower-health-care-costs-for-pregnant-women-with-type-1-diabetes   XX Couple of interesting comments from Medtronic at the recent JP Morgan Chase conference. The CEO says he company is “mainly a type 1 business, moving into type 2,”  He says stated that their patch pumps program remains dynamic.. Medtronic expects its 800-series pump to come in at around half the size of the latest-generation 780G. The post says the company plans for a pivotal study in 2025. Potential features could include extended reservoirs and extended-wear sets, plus a brand-new Android/iOS app. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/medtronic-next-gen-insulin-pumps-coming/ XX Beta Bionics also says they're working on a tubeless patch that they plan to launch in 2027. The company reported the device has two parts. One reusable component holds the electronics that operate the device and motor. A second disposable part includes an adhesive patch, insulin reservoir, insertion device, and the cannula used to deliver insulin. Beta Bionics said the pump is planned for use in people with type 1 diabetes and later will expand its use for people with type 2. The company also reported it is continuing work on an AID system that would, in addition to using insulin to lower blood sugar, also contain glucagon to raise blood sugar. Research is being conducted into dual-hormone systems, but none are available yet for people with diabetes. https://diatribe.org/diabetes-technology/tech-watch-diabetes-tech-news XX New approval for the treatment of diabetic macular edema. Susvimo is the “first and only FDA-approved treatment shown to maintain vision in people with DME with fewer treatments than standard-of-care eye injections,” the release said. This is the second indication for Susvimo, which is also approved for the treatment of wet age-related macular degeneration. https://www.healio.com/news/ophthalmology/20250204/fda-approves-susvimo-for-diabetic-macular-edema XX How about this one… drinking ketones improves heart health, a new small-scale study from the University of Portsmouth has found. This is the first time people with type 2 diabetes (T2D) have been given a drink with ketone esters - a supplement that is meant to plunge your system into ketosis - to monitor the effect on the heart. Ketosis is the metabolic state where your body is forced to burn fats instead of carbohydrates. but more research is needed because we only assessed participants on the day, which means we have no idea what the chronic impact of drinking ketones would be." The study was carried out after research showed  The drug SGLT2i was used to lower glucose in patients with diabetes and longitudinal studies were showing that it was inadvertently protecting the heart. The hypothesis was that the drug induces ketosis and the heart was using ketones, which improved heart health, but the evidence for this was limited so our research set out to prove the connection." https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250205/Drinking-ketones-improves-heart-health-for-people-with-type-2-diabetes.aspx XX Another pump wants into the EU. Modular Medical looks to obtain a CE mark in the first quarter of 2026. The patch pump, MODD1, got FDA clearance last fall. The company says it will be available early this year.. but I haven't heard much about it since the approval.   https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/modular-medical-step-forward-ce-mark/ XX New CGM system with a reusable applicator and rechargeable wearable transmitter moves forward. Trinity Biotech announced new pre-pivotal clinical data. This company is based in Ireland and is looking for iCGM approval down the road.. hoping to file with the FDA in 2026. https://www.drugdeliverybusiness.com/trinity-biotech-expects-submit-cgm-fda-2026/ XX Body-weight cycling (also known as yo-yo dieting) has been shown to significantly increase the risk of kidney disease in people with type 1 diabetes, regardless of body mass index (BMI) and other traditional risk factors. This is a new study published in the Endocrine Society's Journal of Clinical Endocrinology & Metabolism. Participants with greater weight fluctuations experienced a 40% decline in kidney health from baseline values https://www.news-medical.net/news/20250204/Yo-yo-dieting-found-to-harm-kidney-health-in-type-1-diabetes-patients.aspx XX Eli Lilly's profit doubled in the fourth quarter, propelled by its hot-selling diabetes and obesity treatments, and the drugmaker came out with a mostly better-than-expected 2025 forecast. Overall, Lilly's quarterly profit swelled to $4.41 billion. https://apnews.com/article/eli-lilly-fourth-quarter-mounjaro-zepbound-ca026922525a9e3abb1b75d329628bef XX Abbott starts a new campaign all about bias and misconceptions when it comes to diabetes. I'm excited that they seem to have worked here with the Behavioral Diabetes Institute. Nearly 70% believe there is stigma associated with their condition.1 Diabetes as a Punchline: 85% of people living with diabetes say they have seen inaccuracies about diabetes in the media, including on TV shows, movies, and social media, and 40% of people felt that diabetes is often used as the punchline of a joke.1 Abbott's new Above the Bias initiative aims to help others see the world from the perspective of someone living with diabetes. The initiative builds upon efforts by several diabetes organizations, patient advocacy groups, and experts that continue to work to reduce stigma about diabetes.3 People can learn more about Above the Bias and watch the film at AboveBias.com. https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/abbotts-above-the-bias-film-reveals-misconceptions-can-impact-diabetes-care-302367723.html   -- When you watch the Super Bowl this weekend, watch for Noah Grey. .he's the Kansas City Chiefs tight end who backs up Travis Kelce and he's lived with type 1 since age 18. Grey spoke to media this week about how he loves to interact with kids who have T1D and their shared love of fruit gummies to treat lows. (sound here) Grey has been an ambassador for Tandem Diabetes and has talked about how he unhooks the pump but keeps his Dexcom on for games.   https://www.yahoo.com/news/noah-gray-talks-helping-kids-010013649.html https://www.newsobserver.com/sports/college/acc/duke/article299730324.html   -- I want to take a moment to personally send my love and sympathy to the Gaskins family. These are the folks behind the amazing Macey's Believer's charity. Janice Gaskins passed away this week after a long fight with breast cancer. I've been reading all of the posts on her Facebook page – this is a woman who touched and changed a lot of lives.. so much for the better. May her memory be a blessing. Her life certainly was.

The Masked Singer is something we don't talk about enough because it's an utterly stupid and insane show. But something happened live on stage on the UK version that we have to talk about next.

In this episode, we chat with Ken Landry (@varsityoverland), an emerging creator who has successfully turned his passion for overlanding into compelling content on social media and YouTube. Ken's success challenges the common misconception that you need huge numbers to collaborate with brands, proving the power of authenticity and quality storytelling over production value. We discuss how photography and videography became secondary tools to document his primary adventures. We talk about self-identifying or self-labelling ourselves as "professionals", "YouTubers", "Directors", etc. because no one is coming to dub you or officially approve of these titles. We also talk about how waiting for the perfect moment or obsessing over getting things absolutely perfect on the first try holds us back. Expect to learn:- why you should just start and avoid trying to get everything right on the first try- why repetitions and immersion will always be more efficient than theorizing - why you don't need a huge following to collaborate with brands- why your primary passions should help shape the creative journey- why you should self claim your titles (i.e no one is coming to brand you a "pro")All of Ken's Links: https://www.linktr.ee/varsityoverland/Sponsor:Thanks to Tamron for being our lead sponsor this episode!

In this episode, we explore how creators can adapt and thrive in a rapidly changing world by learning to integrate new technology instead of resisting it. We examine the natural fear of change, breaking down why it happens and how to tackle it with an open, curious mindset. By "swimming with the whales," we uncover the value of observing successful creators—not to imitate, but to learn from their strategies and insights. We also challenge the idea of overly identifying with fixed labels or roles, emphasizing how letting go can lead to greater creative freedom. Finally, we discuss how to distinguish fleeting hype from innovations with true long-term impact, equipping you with the clarity to move forward with purpose and intention.Expect to learn:-How to integrate new technology rather than fight it-the reasons why we are naturally averse to change-why you should "swim with the whales" and observe what big creators are doing-how to destroy your attachment to your identity -how to tell when something is "overhyped" or has actual long term valueSponsor:Thanks to WhiteWall for being our lead sponsor this episode!

In this episode, we unpack the crucial lesson we wish we'd learned earlier in our photography careers, charging not only for our time but also for the rights to use the assets we create. Too often, photographers hand over images or videos, unknowingly leaving clients free to profit while missing out on fair compensation. We dig into the art of licensing, attempting to simply explain how fees vary based on factors like company size, asset usage, and licensing duration, and why it's essential to clarify that you retain ownership of your work. We also tackle strategies for educating clients, making it clear there's a difference between paying for your time and paying for the right to use your assets commercially. Lastly, we weigh the benefits of separating time and licensing into clear line items versus presenting clients with a single bundled fee.Expect to learn:- why you'll never go back to the old way of just billing only for your time- how to develop a tailored and adaptive approach to pricing licensing fees- that licensing sounds more complicated than it really is and that you're capable- how to get your clients to understand why they pay for your time and licensing- the proper duration to license your photos  (1 year, 3 years, forever, etc.)Book a one time virtual 30 minute 1-on-1 session with Aaron or Seth entirely for FREE by using the code "FREETRIAL" at checkout: https://thephotographermindset.com/products/60-minute-virtual-1-on-1-sessionSponsor:Thanks to WhiteWall for being our lead sponsor this episode!
