Intrusive thoughts after infidelity can feel overwhelming, consuming, and impossible to control. In this encore episode, I walk through what intrusive thoughts really are, why they happen after betrayal, and what we can actually do about them. If you've ever gone from calm to a full emotional spiral in seconds because of a memory, a word, or a random reminder, you're not broken. You're responding to trauma. I explain the difference between the "upstairs brain" and the "basement brain," and how betrayal keeps us in survival mode longer than we realize. Most importantly, I share practical steps to slow intrusive thoughts down, understand what they're signaling, and begin healing at a deeper level instead of just trying to push them away. In this episode, I cover: Why intrusive thoughts feel so intense after infidelity How to regulate your nervous system in the moment Questions to ask yourself when a thought won't let go How to know if a thought needs processing or reassurance What it looks like to co-regulate safely with your partner You don't have to live at the mercy of intrusive thoughts. There is something underneath them that can be healed. If this episode resonates with you, I'd love for you to reach out and let me know what landed. The February virtual retreat, The End of Holding It All, is February 18th at 9am-4pm EST. If you want to be there, you need to be inside "Get Your Life Back" by February 16th.

Managing a horse diagnosed with metabolic problems means understanding how conditions such as equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) and insulin dysregulation increase the risk of serious complications, including laminitis. Horses with metabolic problems often benefit from controlled diets low in sugars and starches, tailored to prevent spikes in blood insulin and support healthy body condition. Regular exercise and weight management should be part of a comprehensive plan because activity can help improve insulin sensitivity and supports overall metabolic health. While there's no cure for these conditions, strategic, research-based care can help improve your metabolic horse's well-being.During this podcast, two experts answer listener questions about managing horses that have metabolic problems.About the Experts: Greg Schmid, DVM, originally from Canada, moved to Ohio as a teenager, where his family trained dressage and eventing horses. He earned a Bachelor of Science in equine science from Otterbein University, in Westerville, Ohio, and a DVM from The Ohio State University, in Columbus. After graduation, Schmid completed an internship at B.W. Furlong & Associates, in Oldwick, New Jersey, and then worked with Dr. John “Doc” Steele in a hunter/jumper-focused practice covering the East Coast. He later practiced in Portland, Oregon, working with various English and Western sport horses. Schmid joined Dechra as an equine professional services veterinarian in September 2020 and now lives in Asheville, North Carolina.Caitrin Lowndes, DVM, is a research fellow at the Van Eps Laminitis and Endocrinology Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, in Kennett Square, with a background in field practice. Her main area of research is the improved diagnosis and management of insulin dysregulation, with particular interest in how that research can be translated into clinical practice for the treatment and prevention of laminitis.
Jason Hunt is a human physiology professor at BYU Idaho, a husband, father, and lover of motorcycles! Besides teaching in the classroom, Jason also speaks to audiences about managing and overcoming weaknesses through deliberate actions of humility, self-love, and love for others. He uses his knowledge of the human body and human behavior and the gospel of Jesus Christ to help others understand emotions and coping mechanisms we use to find relief. We learn about the "room" that we enter when we are trying to escape uncomfortable emotions, how to leave the "room" using the ACE acronym, and how to act deliberately based on our values system to have humility, love for ourselves, and love for others. This interview is POWERFUL and will help you see the patterns and behaviors of yourself and others in a different light. One that will invite growth, learning, self-discovery, and change.

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick returns to the grim realities of the Vietnam War through the eyes of one of the 20th century's most formidable journalists: Martha Gellhorn.Drawing on Philip Knightley's The First Casualty, we explore how Gellhorn—a veteran of the Spanish Civil War and D-Day—exposed the "hearts and minds" strategy as a hollow lie. While American generals bragged about "zapping Charlie Cong," Gellhorn visited the hospitals and refugee camps, documenting the civilian carnage inflicted by US firepower.Nick delves into the racialized hatred that fueled the war, examining how the dehumanization of the Vietnamese people ("dinks," "gooks") led to a culture of normalized depravity where ears were taken as trophies and massacres were dismissed as "turkey shoots." We also discuss how the US military learned from the PR disasters of Vietnam to create the sanitized "embedded" journalism of the Gulf Wars.Plus: A reminder for history students! Our American History Masterclass (1945-74) is this Sunday, February 15th. Join us for a deep dive into the Cold War, Civil Rights, and Vietnam.Key Topics:Martha Gellhorn: The reporter who refused to look away from civilian suffering.Dehumanization: How racism became a "patriotic virtue" in Vietnam.The Myth of Hearts and Minds: The disconnect between official rhetoric and the reality of napalm.Managing the Media: Why newspapers refused to print the truth about American atrocities.Books Mentioned:The First Casualty by Philip KnightleyDispatches by Michael HerrMaoism: A Global History by Julia LovellExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

In this episode of The Friday Habit, host Mark Labriola II interviews Greg Stevens, an executive coach and expert in conflict resolution. They discuss the importance of managing emotions in difficult conversations, the journey to understanding and repairing incomplete relationships, and the skills necessary for effective communication. Greg shares insights from his experiences and his book, 'Build New Bridges: The Art of Restoring Impossible Relationships,' emphasizing the need for self-awareness and accountability in both personal and professional relationships. The conversation also touches on performance reviews and how to approach them constructively, as well as the significance of closure in relationships.
In this live episode from the AHR 2026 Podcast Pavilion, Bryan sits down with Copeland's Josh Souders (Manager of Commercial Unitary Product Management) and Jeff Kukert (Compression Senior Technical Trainer) to dive deep into Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) technology and its transformative impact on HVAC systems. This conversation offers both technical professionals and industry newcomers a comprehensive look at how vapor injection is revolutionizing heat pump performance, particularly in challenging climate conditions. The discussion centers on how EVI technology addresses one of the industry's most persistent challenges: maintaining high heat pump capacity in extremely low-temperature conditions. Josh and Jeff explain that vapor injection can deliver up to 20% added capacity and 10% improved efficiency while simultaneously enhancing compressor reliability. This technology, which has been a staple in refrigeration applications for years, is now becoming increasingly prevalent in commercial and residential HVAC systems, especially as cold climate heat pumps gain traction across North America. The guests make the complex topic accessible by breaking down how the system works—taking liquid refrigerant from the condensing line, running it through an expansion device and brazed plate heat exchanger (economizer), and injecting the cooled vapor directly back into the compressor scroll at a specific intermediate point. What makes this episode particularly valuable is the practical guidance offered for field technicians. The conversation moves beyond theoretical explanations to address real-world implementation challenges and troubleshooting strategies. Josh and Jeff emphasize the importance of understanding operating envelopes, pulse-width modulated (PWM) valves, pressure transducers, and modern control systems. They introduce Copeland's latest product developments, including the YAW variable speed vapor injection platform (1.5 to 25 tons) and the upcoming YAB two-stage vapor injection system launching later in 2026. The discussion also touches on applications beyond traditional HVAC, including commercial water heating and boiler replacement systems where high discharge temperatures are crucial. Throughout the episode, the guests maintain an encouraging tone toward technicians who may feel intimidated by these advancing technologies. They stress that while EVI systems may appear complex with additional tubing, heat exchangers, valves, and sensors, the underlying thermodynamic principles remain the same. The key is familiarizing oneself with new components like PWM valves and modern controllers, and leveraging tools like Copeland Mobile to verify system performance against operating envelopes. This episode serves as both an educational resource and a call to action for HVAC professionals to embrace these emerging technologies that are rapidly becoming industry standard. Topics Covered Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) fundamentals – How EVI works, its history in refrigeration, and why it's now critical for commercial and residential HVAC applications Capacity and efficiency benefits – Achieving up to 20% capacity boost and 10% efficiency improvement, particularly in low-ambient heating conditions Compressor reliability improvements – How injecting cooled vapor into the scroll set manages discharge temperatures and extends compressor life under high compression ratios Operating envelope management – Understanding compressor operational limits and using tools like Copeland Mobile to verify field conditions stay within safe parameters Cold climate heat pump technology – Meeting DOE's Cold Climate Heat Pump Challenge requirements for 100% capacity at 5°F ambient conditions System architecture and components – Detailed explanation of economizers (brazed plate heat exchangers), pulse-width modulated (PWM) valves, pressure transducers, and advanced controllers Compression ratio challenges – Managing the increased work required when outdoor temperatures drop while indoor condensing temperatures remain constant New Copeland product platforms – Introduction to YAW variable speed vapor injection (1.5-25 tons), YAB two-stage vapor injection (launching 2026), and tandem variable speed configurations Applications beyond traditional HVAC – Water heating systems, commercial boiler replacement, and managing high discharge temperatures for Legionella protection Technician training and tools – Practical advice on learning PWM valves, thermistors, transducers, and system controllers; emphasis on using Copeland Mobile for dynamic performance analysis Market trends and adoption – How vapor injection is becoming standard in premium residential systems and increasingly common across commercial rooftop units and dedicated outdoor air systems Installation and service considerations – Proper system design to avoid oversizing, humidity control in hot-humid climates, and troubleshooting techniques for complex control systems Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Ask Me How I Know: Multifamily Investor Stories of Struggle to Success
High-performing professionals often feel exhausted managing friendships without knowing why. This episode explores how stopping over-functioning restores presence, belonging, and nervous system safety — without explanation, conflict, or loss.High-performing, capable people don't usually feel drained by conflict in friendships.They feel drained by management.By reading the room.Anticipating needs.Explaining shifts.Making sure everyone is okay with how they're showing up.In this episode of The Recalibration, we explore what happens when you stop managing friendships — not by pulling away, but by allowing alignment to settle quietly in the body.Many high-capacity humans mistake regulation for withdrawal at first. When effort decreases and calm emerges, the nervous system may wonder: Am I disengaging… or am I finally present? This episode gently reframes that tension, naming how regulated presence often feels smaller, simpler, and more ordinary than expected.Drawing on identity-level work, nervous system awareness, and story-shaped relational patterns, this conversation explores why familiarity is not the same as truth — and how belonging does not disappear when effort decreases.This is not mindset work.It's not behavior correction.It's Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) — the root-level realignment that makes every other tool effective again. When identity precedes behavior, relationships begin to feel steadier without force, explanation, or performance.For listeners shaped by early environments that rewarded attentiveness, emotional responsibility, or stability, this episode offers permission to practice alignment without commentary — trusting that safety grows through consistency, not intensity.Today's Micro Recalibration“Where can I show up with a little less monitoring — and a little more presence?”Not to withdraw.Not to disengage.Just to stay.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

This episode opens with a simple question that hits home for many agents: Do you struggle with consistency? Rob Nelson is joined by Larry Kendall and Eric Thompson to review the pattern they found while researching Ninja Coaching clients who had their best year yet in 2025. Across different personalities, markets, and business styles, the common denominator was not a specific lead source or marketing tactic. It was consistency, and the clearest measurable indicator of consistency was turning in a weekly scorecard. They share that 87% of the "Best Year Yet" Ninha Coaching clients consistently turned in a weekly scorecard, making it the strongest correlation they found. The scorecard is positioned as the truth teller and the ultimate tool for tracking, gamifying, and sustaining the Ninja Nine habits over time. Rather than chasing results, the conversation emphasizes managing activities, because activities repeated over time create predictable outcomes. Larry and Eric walk through what the scorecard is, why it works, and how it has evolved, including modern enhancements like daily personal text messages and tracking open house conversations. They explain the five pathways to consistency, track activities, gamify, join a group, hire a coach, and find an encouragement partner, and show how the scorecard supports all five. They also discuss realistic targets and the idea that perfection is not required. A score of 70 out of 100 is the acceleration point where business becomes consistent, while missing one week is a mistake and missing two is the start of a new habit. The episode closes with practical guidance on how to restart after falling off, how to plan for 45 full on weeks and seven recharge weeks, and why keeping scorecards in a binder becomes a powerful way to measure progress and diagnose a slump. Larry reinforces the message with a personal example, his long running pushup log, showing how tracking drives consistency, and consistency drives results. Key Takeaways Consistency is the common denominator behind best year yet results, even when the specific business style varies Turning in a weekly scorecard is the strongest measurable correlation, with 87 percent of best year yet coaching clients doing it Scorecards shift focus from results to activities, which restores control, reduces frustration, and creates momentum The scorecard supports five ways to stay consistent, tracking, gamifying, joining a group, hiring a coach, and using an encouragement partner Missing one week is a mistake, missing two is the start of a new habit, so the goal is to avoid the second miss Managing activities is more effective than managing production, and it is especially useful for managers and sales leaders Modern enhancements include personal text messages with a FORD question and tracking open houses as a major buyer entry point Plan for 45 full on weeks and seven recharge weeks to build consistency with grace, sustainability, and real life flexibility Memorable Quotes Do you struggle with consistency The number one correlation between having a best year yet is that they turn in a weekly scorecard Most people do not fail because they do not know what to do, they fail because they do not do what they know consistently The answer may be you are not keeping score If you do the activities, the production takes care of itself Stop trying to manage production and start managing activity The scorecard is the truth You can miss one, that is a mistake, but if you miss two, that is the start of a new habit Two weeks at a hundred and ten weeks at zero is not the same as twelve weeks at seventy Links: Website: https://ninjaselling.com/ninja-podcast/ Email: TSW@NinjaSelling.com Phone: 1-800-254-1650 Podcast Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/TheNinjaSellingPodcast Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NinjaSelling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ninjasellingofficial/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ninjaselling Upcoming Public Ninja Installations: https://NinjaSelling.com/events/list/?tribe_eventcategory%5B0%5D=183&tribe__ecp_custom_2%5B0%5D=Public Ninja Coaching: http://www.NinjaSelling.com/course/ninja-coaching/ The Ninja Flow Scorecard: http://www.ninjaselling.com/scorecard

Hosts: Jake Lancaster MD, Chief Medical Information Officer and Amanda Comer DNP, System Director, Advanced Practice ProvidersGuest: Zachary Nahmias, MD, Dermatologist Summary:In this episode of Right Care Baptist, host Dr. Jake Lancaster (Chief Medical Officer, Baptist Medical Group) and Amanda Comer, NP (Chief Advanced Practice Officer) sit down with Dr. Zachary Nahmias, a board-certified dermatologist at NEA Baptist Clinic in Jonesboro, Arkansas, to discuss the most common dermatology referrals from primary care and how to manage them more effectively.Dr. Nahmias breaks down his top five referral categories — suspicious skin lesions, psoriasis, eczema/contact dermatitis, adult acne, and hard-to-place rashes — and offers practical guidance for each. The conversation covers red flags for skin cancer (flat irregular lesions, bleeding, pain, and the "ugly duckling" that stands out from surrounding spots), when and how to screen patients, and the importance of gathering UV exposure and family history before referring.The discussion then shifts to rashes, where Dr. Nahmias encourages primary care providers to treat confidently when they recognize common conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and seborrheic dermatitis rather than deferring to a 6-month dermatology wait. He highlights common pitfalls including diagnostic anchoring, the risk of topical steroids masking or feeding fungal infections, the dangers of systemic steroids for psoriasis causing a rebound "whiplash," and misusing high-potency topical steroids in sensitive skin fold areas. He walks through distinguishing tinea from eczema by looking for a leading scale with an erythematous base, and recommends Lotrisone as an underappreciated option when the diagnosis is unclear on the feet and lower legs.On drug-related rashes, Dr. Nahmias discusses the challenge of identifying culprit medications in patients on multiple drugs, common inpatient offenders like vancomycin and sulfa drugs, and serious reactions including Stevens-Johnson syndrome and DRESS syndrome.The episode wraps with advice on building relationships with local dermatology offices, taking clinical photos to share with referrals, knowing when to send a patient urgently (vasculitic rashes, sudden whole-body eruptions with systemic symptoms), and how the VisualDx diagnostic platform can help primary care providers narrow differentials and select first-line treatments.CME Credit Info:Link to complete brief survey and claim CME credit: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/C55LKSYCME credit is available for up to 3 years after the stated release dateContact CEOD@bmhcc.org if you have any questions about claiming credit.

Send a textIn this Fusion Hack, Phoebe Hagan reframes burnout as a signal, not a sentence. She shares how giving yourself freedom—and getting honest about what you don't want—can be the catalyst for real change. Instead of forcing the same routine harder, she walks through the mindset shift of choosing “I want something different,” then aligning your actions with what's actually pulling you forward. For Phoebe, sustainable progress starts when motivation becomes a want-to, rooted in meaning and enjoyment—not pressure, guilt, or identity collapse.A central theme is identity: Phoebe introduces “The Bodybuilder Box,” emphasizing that the how should form your identity, not the what. She uses a slingshot analogy to explain resistance—how feeling stretched or stuck can precede the release into your next level. Burnout, she argues, can sometimes be the best thing that happens because it forces clarity, boundaries, and reinvention. The episode closes with a practical challenge: stay curious about yourself, and keep showing up—even if it starts as “fake it until you make it”—until the mindset becomes embodied and automatic.Phoebe Hagan is an IFBB Bikini Pro from the United Kingdom, known for her elite-level physique, precision posing, and competitive success on the global bodybuilding stage. She made history as the first UK Bikini athlete to place in the top 10 at the Olympia, securing 7th place in her debut. Beyond competition, Phoebe is a dedicated coach, content creator, and fitness influencer, sharing expert insights on training, posing, and mindset through her YouTube channel, social media, and The Posing Portal. Passionate about empowering athletes, she continues to inspire and educate the next generation of Bikini competitors worldwide.https://www.instagram.com/phoebehagan_ http://www.theposingportal.com Welcome to FitBody Lifestyle the podcast hosted by Jami and Greg DeBernard!

If you look at the current job market, you might notice something strange... The words "service design" seem to be slowly disappearing from job titles. Does that mean our field is shrinking, or worse, becoming obsolete? Well, according to our guest, Giulia Di Gregorio, that's definitely not the case. If anything, the opposite is true. Giulia argues that while the titles might be vanishing, the practice is actually spreading. Service design is everywhere now; it's just hiding under different names. But this "diversification" creates a new challenge. If everyone has a different job title, where do you find your professional peers? Where's that safe space where you can get together to commiserate, find inspiration, and learn from each other? That's what Giulia and a few folks were thinking as well. But instead of just thinking about it they rolled up their sleeves and decided to revive Service Design Drinks Milan. This didn't become just another meetup; it became a "pirate version" of a community. And it's been a pretty successful one.In this conversation, we explore what it looks like to run a community that's driven by volunteers, has no hierarchy, and is governed by the energy people actually have to give. We also talk about building "synergies" with other communities instead of acting like isolated islands. And we dig into why the best way to scale might be through small, independent nodes across the world rather than one big centralized network. So if you've been feeling a bit "homeless" in your service design role lately, this is a great conversation about reclaiming your identity and connecting with your tribe. What stuck with me is the idea that when a project starts feeling like "work," you might be heading in the wrong direction and should reconsider your options. Something to think about both in our professional context as well as in our passion projects. Enjoy the conversation and keep making a positive impact!~ Marc--- [ 1.

Labor Pains: Dealing with infertility and loss during pregnancy or infancy.
There is no pain more disorienting than losing a child—and no single “right” way to grieve.In Episode 58 of Female Voices: Life & Loss, hosts Teresa Reiniger and Wayna Berry come together for a deeply compassionate, honest conversation about grieving parents, whether the loss is through pregnancy, childhood, or adulthood. Drawing from personal experience and professional practice as grief coaches and therapists, they explore how grief shows up differently for mothers and fathers, why talking about children who have died matters, and how parents can find tools, routines, and support that actually help.This episode offers validation, practical tools, and gentle hope for parents navigating the unimaginable—along with reminders that healing does not mean forgetting, and grief does not follow rules.

For new CEOs, few relationships matter more—and few are more complex—than the relationship with their board. The tone set in the first year can either establish the board as a powerful ally or create friction that slows progress. In this episode of Leadership Lounge, Emma Combe is joined by three of our trusted leadership advisors Rusty O'Kelley, Anita Wingrove, and Ty Wiggins, to explore how new CEOs can build trust, alignment, and effective ways of working with their boards—and how that relationship evolves over time. They discuss: Why the CEO–board relationship is so critical in the first year of leadership What new CEOs should seek to understand about their board before and during the transition How transparency and candor build credibility and trust Where conflict most often arises between CEOs and boards—and how to navigate it constructively “You ultimately want their perspective on key matters. And for that, they need to have the unvarnished truth.” Ty Wiggins Leadership Advisor, Russell Reynolds Associates Four things you'll learn from this episode: Early engagement with board members helps new CEOs understand individual perspectives, priorities, and expectations—reducing the risk of misalignment later on. Clear priorities, timelines, and metrics give boards confidence and prevent anxiety from filling information gaps. Candor builds trust—boards are most effective when CEOs share the full picture, including challenges, alongside a clear plan forward. The CEO–board relationship must evolve over time, with periodic resets helping to maintain alignment. In this episode, we will cover: (01:45) Why the CEO–board relationship is critical in the first year (03:10) How new CEOs should prepare for working with multiple board perspectives (05:05) What to understand about the board during the selection and transition phase (10:30) What effective transparency with the board really looks like (13:40) How to share difficult news without undermining confidence (16:20) The most common sources of tension between CEOs and boards (18:55) Managing disagreement constructively and maintaining trust (24:10) When and how to reset expectations with the board over time (26:45) The most common mistakes new CEOs make—and how to avoid them A closer look at the research from this episode: CEO Transitions | Russell Reynolds Associates The New CEO | Russell Reynolds Associates

Data centers have shifted from supporting enterprise IT to running large parts of the digital economy. They now host AI model training, AI inference, and many critical digital services. As this shift accelerates, data centers are placing greater demands on power systems and operations teams. Managing energy use, uptime, and physical infrastructure has become central to how these facilities operate. The challenge is that data center growth is moving faster than the tools used to manage it. Many operators still depend on legacy monitoring systems and spreadsheets to understand complex environments. These approaches struggle with rising power density, sustainability targets, and security requirements. At the same time, data sovereignty and grid access are influencing where new infrastructure can be built. In this episode, I speak with Jad Jebara, CEO and co-founder of Hyperview, about how data center operations are changing. We discuss why cloud-native platforms are replacing legacy tools for managing power, facilities, IT, and OT systems. Jad explains how improved operational visibility supports security, efficiency, and scalability. We also explore what these shifts mean for energy companies and oil and gas producers supplying power to this growing infrastructure.

Gavin shares his journey from being a mascot at the University of Kentucky to working with the Fellowship of Christian Athletes (FCA) and eventually transitioning to leading a network of simple churches. He discusses the impact of his daughter's special needs on his faith and ministry, emphasizing the importance of love, connection, and understanding God's grace.

As teams grow, the way work gets done has to change.What worked in a small, scrappy business starts to break once multiple layers, managers, and priorities appear. Employees feel overwhelmed, managers lose visibility, and execution slows down, not because people aren't capable, but because communication hasn't evolved.In this episode, Melissa speaks directly to employees and middle managers about a critical skill growing teams must learn: managing up.Managing up isn't pushback or resistance. It's a communication framework that helps teams clarify priorities, manage capacity, and deliver better results without burnout.You'll learn why “just do what you're asked” stops working, how to synthesize feedback and requests, and a practical managing up framework you can use immediately.This episode sets the foundation for next week's conversation on what owners and leaders must change so managing up actually works.

Have you ever felt the need to choose between non-profit and private practice? Is it possible to do both? My guest today, Tina, has found a way to do so! She believes in sustainability, both in business and her personal life. For Tina, being able to offer her services in the non-profit sector helps her to make sure her expertise is available to people who need the support but can't easily afford it, and seeing private clients in her solo practice helps her to support herself! By combining both approaches, Tina can make sure she utilizes both her passion and her skills, and live while working in a way that feels fully integrated with her values. If you want to learn more, come join our conversation! MEET TINA Tina Bells is a Registered Psychotherapist and EMDR therapist based in Toronto, where she also serves as the Grief and Bereavement Coordinator for a local hospice. She is the owner of Grounded Voice Psychotherapy, her Private Practice, where she supports individuals experiencing loss and Spiritual abuse. With a Master's in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy and over a decade of experience in non-profits, including those such as shelters and correctional services, all of which inform her holistic, compassionate approach. Learn more about Tina on her practice website, Psychology Today, and LinkedIn profiles. In this episode: What motivated Tina to become a therapist Going into private practice Managing a diverse schedule Tina's goals for 2026 Tina's advice to listeners What motivated Tina to become a therapist There was no big, sudden moment of realization that Tina had to know she wanted to become a therapist. Instead, pursuing therapy came from a lifetime of interest in other people. 'I think it was a series of small things over time. I always knew I wanted to support people, that's what led to the Master's in Spiritual Care and Psychotherapy, and then into the non-profit work that I have been doing for the last two decades.' - Tina Bells Initially, Tina worked mostly with people who were struggling with addictions, but with time, her passions shifted, things changed, and she began to focus on grief. That pulled her in and encouraged her to pivot her career. Going into private practice While Tina continues to work in the non-profit sector, she has begun her own Canadian private practice to prevent burnout. 'I think sustainability is an ethical issue, and that private practice allows me to do both [non-profit and private practice work], and allows me to have meaningful work in non-profit and provide for clients in a way that you can't when you're in the system.' - Tina Bells For Tina, having one foot in both the non-profit sector and private practice enables her to find a clear, sustainable balance between serving her community and her passions while still being able to earn a stable income to support herself. 'It's really amazing to serve in that way, and to meet the needs of people who wouldn't be able to access mental healthcare otherwise. [And] when you're in private practice, you're able to meet a need in a different way, so you get more time with people. You get to see some of that long-term [change].' - Tina Bells Therefore, Tina can give support and care to people who need assistance through non-profit sectors, and also continue seeing her private practice clients. Managing a diverse schedule Since Tina works in both non-profit and private practice, she needs to be strategic with her time. At the moment, she works for three days in a non-profit and two days in her private practice. With this split, she's able to work with both groups of people and still afford her lifestyle. Additionally, her private practice is completely virtual, which helps her manage her work from home on her dedicated practice days. Tina's goals for 2026 For 2026, Tina's main goal is to get groups up and running in her Canadian private practice. 'I'm trying to generate some interest in that. I would really love to do a group that focuses on the grief around losing a spiritual community. I think that's a really big piece, and it's not something that's often talked about, so that's my goal … To get a group going.' - Tina Bells She has added this option to her Psychology Today profile just to start the process. While she hasn't gotten any clients for the groups yet, the year has just begun! And Tina knows it will take some time to develop. Additionally, Tina has goals to expand her marketing efforts, especially when it comes to networking and meeting new people in the community. If you are a non-profit or private practice owner, reach out to Tina and connect. Tina's advice to listeners Don't underestimate the importance (and power!) of good supervision. Working with an expert and compassionate mentor can help you cover so much ground, especially if you are feeling unsure, nervous, or unsure how to begin this journey into therapy.

In this week's episode, host Jen Van Horn speaks with Will Colón and Kathryn Taccone of Open Pixel Studios about navigating the current industry landscape, content strategy for 2026, and staying grounded as creative business owners.This episode covers:Two years of nomadic living: Will and Kathryn spent two years traveling the U.S. after their lease ended, bookending the journey between two Camp MoGraph events, and using the remote nature of their work to make it possible.Economic uncertainty and the pivot to climate work: The slow market of the past couple years prompted Open Pixel Studios to launch Evident Narrative Lab (ENL), a climate-focused branch of their company — but the loss of EPA funding forced a sharp pivot back to their core work. ENL continues to look internationally for opportunities, including an upcoming speaking engagement at the Okinawa Institute of Technology.Cautious optimism for 2026: Kathryn noted that while there's no "new normal," client activity is picking up and she's excited about evolving into more of a strategy consulting role rather than purely execution-based work.Managing the news cycle: Will and community members discussed the importance of intentionally limiting news consumption — not to disengage entirely, but to protect creative energy and focus efforts where they can actually make an impact.Short-form vs. long-form content strategy: Open Pixel Studios shifted from a traditional podcast to short, standalone video answers optimized for social platforms, using Adobe Express to schedule and batch posts. The approach has strengthened their voice, re-engaged past clients, and reduced the friction of getting to a discovery call.Tiered pricing and stylistic constraints on the website: Will shared how publishing a visual pricing page organized into 3 categories and 9 tiers has shifted early client conversations from "how do I do X?" to "I want to do X" — creating a better starting point for negotiation and reducing the sales lift.AI as a liability without proper guidance: Community members shared real-world examples of AI-generated work creating costly production problems — from packaging that couldn't be manufactured as designed, to AI video shots requiring extensive VFX fixes. The consensus: studios that educate clients on where AI helps vs. hurts position themselves as strategic partners, not just vendors.Finding community as a survival strategy: Kathryn emphasized the importance of building multiple community networks — professional, advocacy-based, and personal — as a way to stay grounded and resilient heading into an uncertain year.Upcoming Events/Schedule:Next week: Open discussion or themed discussion — details TBDGame night date TBD — Gartic Phone session being planned once scheduling alignsVisit MondayMeeting.org for this episode and other conversations from the motion design community!SHOW NOTES:Monday Meeting PatreonMonday Meeting DiscordMondayMeeting LinkedInMondayMeeting InstagramMondayMeeting BlueskyMondayMeeting NewsletterOpen Pixel StudiosEvident Narrative LabCamp MographSuper Bowl AdsStand Lee Documentary: Excelsior!

Tottenham have sacked Thomas Frank, but will it actually change anything? In this episode we break down why the next Spurs manager could be walking into the same structural problems. From squad construction and midfield imbalance to the injury spiral and long-term strategy, this feels bigger than one coach. We discuss why Frank's expected “floor” never materialised, what Spurs are missing behind the scenes, and what kind of profile would realistically make sense next. There's also a wider conversation about injury crises in the Premier League, how clubs get stuck in doom loops, and whether squad building is the real preventative solution. Finally, we take a look at the La Liga title race. Why Barcelona might have the edge over Real Madrid, how style of play matters against low blocks, and what fixture congestion could mean in the run-in.

Imagine at 45, Melissa Jean Rod discovered that the man she had always believed was her father wasn't. What followed was a journey full of family secrets, DNA twists, and moments that felt almost like a detective story, all while learning to forgive when it seemed impossible. In this episode of Productivity Smarts, Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Texas-born author and speaker Melissa Jean Rod to unpack her decades-long journey of uncovering the truth about her father. Her story, chronicled in The Daddy Files: How I Survived the Secrets and Found the Truth that Heals, takes listeners through the raw reality of questioning paternity, facing hidden truths, and learning to forgive, all while discovering God as the unwavering Father. What begins as a search for biological answers evolves into a deeper spiritual and emotional transformation. Gerald and Melissa explore how unresolved pain can silently impact productivity, relationships, and personal growth, and why facing trauma courageously through writing, prayer, and honest reflection is essential for freedom. They share practical ways to navigate emotional bandwidth, from therapy, walks, music, and sunsets to leaning on supportive relationships, all while staying committed to life's daily demands. Melissa reflects on how her identity shifted from being defined by others to being rooted in God and herself, showing that grit, persistence, and truth-seeking mirror the stamina needed for meaningful goals. This conversation is a beacon for anyone wrestling with family secrets, identity questions, or emotional blocks, offering hope that inner healing unlocks creativity, resilience, and lasting productivity.

Managing a team gets especially challenging when emotions run high.Whether it's you who regularly rides the emotional rollercoaster or a team member who explodes in meetings, shuts down during feedback, or feels unpredictable from one conversation to the next, many managers struggle with how to respond when emotions show up in the workplace.Fortunately, this week's guest offers a grounded framework for supporting emotional intensity at work without becoming a therapist and without ignoring what's really happening.Jordanna Eyre is the founder of Spiral Growth Systems and the creator of the Spiral Leadership Methodology, a transformational framework designed to help leaders work with time, energy, emotions, and growth in non-linear ways. Known as the Chief Sorceress of Life & Business, Jordanna helps leaders expand their capacity, regulate their nervous systems, and lead with greater presence and clarity.In this conversation, we explore how leaders can hold space for emotions without fixing or minimizing them, when support crosses into referral, and how emotional safety creates stronger teams over time.Get FREE mini-episode guides with the week's episode's big idea delivered to your inbox when you subscribe to my weekly email.Join the conversation now!Conversation Topics(00:00) Introduction(02:21) Supporting team members with big emotions(06:04) Why leaders must regulate themselves first(09:46) Management vs. leadership in emotional situations(14:10) Fear as a blocker to anger, grief, and sadness(18:32) How suppressed emotions show up as ego or shutdown(23:48) Holding space without fixing or minimizing(27:55) When to refer instead of intervene(31:55) [Extended Episode Only] Expanding emotional capacity as a leader(33:13) [Extended Episode Only] What to say when emotions run high(36:52) [Extended Episode Only] Seeing the wisdom beneath behavior(40:41) [Extended Episode Only] Building shared leadership through emotional safety
Genetic resilience and the dynamics of inbreeding and diversity in dairy breeding. Dr. Maltecca (6:43)The main issues in managing genetic diversity in dairy cattle include inbreeding depression and continuing selection without exhausting the available variability in the population. These are difficult to investigate in a breeding population, as there is not a model algorithm where there is the luxury of designing an experiment. Dairy cattle closely resemble one another, so it is difficult to distinguish between the effect of selection from the effect of drift and the effect of deleterious mutation accumulation in the population. Researchers find proxies to estimate inbreeding and inbreeding depression because we don't have good estimates of dominance effects.Identifying genetic diversity within indigenous and highly commercialized breeds for improved performance and future preservation. Dr. Huson (12:24)Dr. Huson covered four steps of thinking about genetic diversity in cattle: characterization of the genetic diversity, biological understanding of why we should preserve diversity, utilizing our understanding of diversity in breeding programs, and preserving and reassessing diversity over time. Harnessing indigenous African breeds for sustainable dairy production: Opportunities for crossbreeding to accelerate genetic improvement. Dr. Mapholi (16:52)Dr. Mapholi emphasized the importance of tick and disease resistance for the sustainability of the African dairy industry. The indigenous African breeds had been overlooked due to small frame size and the perception they were not suitable for commercial farming, but they have excellent tick and disease resistance. Exotic breeds from the US and Europe struggled with the harsh environment. Crossbreeding indigenous and exotic breeds is allowing for simultaneous improvement in milk production and disease resistance. Genomics is particularly helpful to identify the best candidate breeds for crossing.Genomic- versus pedigree-based inbreeding: 2 sides of the same coin. Dr. Macciotta (24:19)It was thought that genomic selection would help in slowing the increase of inbreeding because we were looking at the DNA of the animal, not their pedigree. However, the traditional top animals were the population from which genomic selection began, and genomic selection shortens generation interval, so inbreeding continues to increase at a faster rate. Genomics offer new tools for investigating inbreeding, but there are 10-15 options to calculate inbreeding, all of which could provide a different answer. With pedigree selection, there is only one measurement of inbreeding. We are still investigating the best method for calculating inbreeding using genomic tools.Managing genetic diversity: Strategies for sustainable livestock improvement. Dr. Baes (27:53)Genomic selection has increased the speed at which animals become more related. There are negative implications of inbreeding, but today, the genetic and economic gains achieved through the current intense directional selection still far outweigh the inbreeding issues. No one knows where the edge of the cliff is, however. Dr. Baes envisions an international system one day where academia, AI companies, and producers all work together to understand and manage genetic diversity in livestock.The panelists discuss key takeaways they got from the other speakers' presentations and give perspectives on the topic of genetic diversity for their particular country and field of study.
