This week on the Wellness Edge Podcast, Dr. Mia joins Field Engagement Manager Dawn Edens to continue the conversation on reducing toxic load at home. Building on “Are You Toxic?”, Dr. Mia breaks down how everyday products create “hormone noise” — low-dose, repeated chemical exposures that can disrupt endocrine balance, increase inflammation, and add to metabolic stress over time. In this episode, you'll learn:Why synthetic fragrances, plastics, and aerosols matterHow laundry detergents and dryer sheets become hidden exposure sourcesHow simple format shifts (powders, sheets, sticks, glass bottles) can lower your environmental loadWhat it looks like to build a home that supports your hormones and long-term resilienceGood health doesn't just begin in your body — it begins in your home.

In this episode of The Fertility Podcast, I'm joined by Ian Stones, co founder of Testhim, to talk about something that should be simple but still too often isn't. Testing men.We talk a lot in fertility about women's bodies, women's hormones, women's investigations. But male fertility accounts for around a third of infertility cases, and yet men are still frequently an afterthought.Ian and I explore when men should be tested, what those tests actually look like, why semen analysis is not always enough, and how men can advocate for themselves earlier in the process.If you are dealing with male factor infertility, recurrent loss, unexplained infertility, or you simply want to understand more about sperm health, this episode is for you.And if you are the partner trying to get a reluctant man to engage with this conversation, please share it.What we discuss in this episode:Why male fertility testing is often delayedWhen to start investigating male fertilityWhy semen analysis is only the starting pointThe role of sperm DNA fragmentation in recurrent miscarriageWhat a varicocele is and how it affects sperm qualityWhy testicular scans matterHow infections and oxidative stress impact sperm healthThe importance of seeing a male fertility specialist, not just a general urologistWhy lifestyle changes should happen at least three months before trying to conceiveThe impact of heat, cycling, tight underwear and hot tubsAlcohol, diet and BMI in sperm healthWhy men need to know their anatomy and check for lumps and changesThe emotional experience of male infertility and feeling like the spare partHow proactive testing could reduce repeated failed IVF cyclesWhat Testhim actually doesTesthim offers:Advanced male fertility testingA detailed male fertility questionnaire to build a personalised risk profileSperm DNA fragmentation testingOxidative stress testingTesticular ultrasound scansFollow up calls to explain results clearlyAccess to male fertility urology specialists across the UKMonthly male fertility support groupsA dedicated male fertility podcastTheir questionnaire...

If you've ever thought, “Well, I guess I can't progressive overload because I don't have heavier weights,” this episode is for YOU.We're talking about training volume, progressive overload, and why lifting heavier isn't the only way to make progress. Yes - access to a gym and heavier weights is great! But…it's not required for results. What actually matters? The amount of MEANINGFUL work your muscles are doing over time! Volume isn't just a buzzword you're hearing online these days - it's sets × reps × load. Your body responds to challenge, and it's not just numbers on paper. If you're training at home, you're NOT stuck. Progressive overload isn't just “add weight.” It's more reps, sets, unilateral work, and pauses. The goal isn't heavy - it's HARD for you. Volume + intensity are your two levers, so don't be afraid to use them wisely!Episode recap:Why progressive overload isn't just adding weightWhat training volume really meansWhy effort, strength, and hard reps + recruitment matterHow to increase the challenge when your weights are limitedWhy volume + intensity are your two key leversUnderstanding that scale fluctuations after hard training are NORMALWays that progress shows up beyond the scaleWhy your goal should be hard (not heavy) for youLinks/Resources:Ep. 226 | Pain-Free Performance: How to Build a Powerful and Healthy Body for Life with Dr. John RusinEp. 227 | Your Body Is Not Amazon Prime - Stop Expecting Instant ResultsGrab your FREE Body Recomp Meal Prep and get the UFYF NewsletterListen to the Girls with Opinions PodcastJoin FIT CLUB, my monthly membership with workouts you can do at home or the gymPRIVATE COACHING is my 1:1 program (choose 3 or 6 month option)Connect with me on Instagram @kristycastillofit and @unfuckyourfitnesspodcast so we can keep this conversation going-be sure to tag me in your posts and stories!Join my FREE Facebook group, Unf*ck Your FitnessClick HERE for my favorite fitness & life things!Send me a text with episode ideas or just to say hi!

In this Living Undeterred roundtable powered by Brightn, Jeff Johnston is joined by members of the Brightn team for an honest, wide-ranging conversation about mental health, attention, and what it actually means to live well in a constantly connected world.Rather than chasing diagnoses or quick fixes, the group explores how modern life—social media, comparison, burnout, and endless distractions—has reshaped the way we experience stress, motivation, and self-worth. From personal stories of struggle and growth to practical insights around boundaries, consistency, and self-awareness, this episode challenges the idea that we're “broken” and need to be fixed.The conversation dives into:Why attention—not other apps or people—is the real battle we're fightingThe difference between motivation and discipline, and why small wins matterHow journaling, boundaries, and consistency can quietly transform daily lifeThe role AI can play as a supportive tool for mental wellness—not a replacement for human connectionWhy peace and presence matter just as much as goals and achievementThis episode is a reminder that mental health isn't a destination—it's a daily practice. You don't need to overhaul your life. You just need to start where you are.

In this episode, we focus on one of the most overlooked parts of health and fitness: body image.Many women grow up believing it's normal to criticise their bodies. From shop windows and magazines to social media filters, we're constantly shown an unrealistic standard of how we should look — and it slowly chips away at confidence.This episode is about changing that.Rather than focusing on size, weight, or perfection, we shift the conversation to:What your body can doWhy strength, movement, and function matterHow genetics play a role (and why fighting them is exhausting)Recognising negative self-talk and learning to reframe itCreating daily reminders to appreciate your bodyCommitting to habits that make you feel good — not punishedWe also discuss:Why the scale shouldn't dictate your mood or self-worthUnderstanding weight fluctuations (water, hormones, food, stress)How confidence shows up far more than any clothing sizeWhy appreciating your body now matters — not “later”This episode is especially relevant for women navigating fitness, motherhood, ageing, or long-term health goals who want a more sustainable, respectful relationship with their body.Love this podcast?

EPISODE SUMMARYMost roofers think they need more leads.But leads don't fix a broken roofing business — they amplify the chaos.In this episode, Dave Sullivan explains why the “boring” foundation work — answering the phone, follow-up, systems, process, and finishing jobs the right way — is what actually creates profit, control, and time off.This episode ties directly to last week's show (Your Roofing Company Isn't Ready for More Leads) and sets the stage for upcoming episodes on markup vs profit and what a website is really supposed to do.If you're tired of being busy, stressed, and wondering where the money went, this is a Start Here episode.EPISODE DESCRIPTIONRoofing contractors love exciting goals: more leads, more sales, bigger numbers.But here's the truth — if your systems can't handle growth, growth will punish you.In this episode, Dave breaks down why most roofing businesses struggle even when revenue is up and what must be fixed before you chase more leads or scale.Dave also shares a real-world lesson from a recent home renovation project and why the last 5–10% of a job — the walkthrough, closeout, and customer experience — is what actually drives 5-star reviews, referrals, and long-term brand value.This is the foundation work most contractors avoid because it feels boring — and exactly why it works.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARNWhy more leads don't solve broken systemsThe real job of your website (and what it's NOT)Why speed-to-lead and live phone answering matterHow follow-up automation changes close ratesWhy most contractors struggle to convert opportunitiesThe “2-week vacation test” to see who really owns the businessWhy finishing strong is what earns reviews and referralsWhy mentoring beats one-time courses when plans changeRESOURCES & LINKSFree 2026 Roofing Business Success Audit(50 yes/no questions + a score you can compare to other companies) Visit the Resources page at TheRooferCoach.comRuby ReceptionistsLive, professional phone answering that converts calls into appointments theroofercoach.com/ruby(Get $150 off your first month – tell them Dave sent you)ProLine CRMFollow-up automation, quotes, updates, and review requests — done for you

You don't get the results you want from the standards you talk about.You get results from the standards you live by—often without realizing it.In this episode of Life at Ten Tenths, Matt and Garrett introduce the idea of shadow standards: the unspoken rules, habits, and environmental defaults that quietly shape your health, business, relationships, and energy.From what's on your calendar, to what's on your phone, to what's in your fridge—these small, behind-the-scenes choices often have more influence than the goals you set or the plans you make.This conversation isn't about guilt or discipline. It's about awareness and alignment.You'll hear how shadow standards can either support your core values—or work directly against them—and why burnout often shows up when those two are out of sync. The good news? Most shadow standards are easy to change once you see them clearly.In this episode, we discuss:What shadow standards are and why they matterHow unspoken rules drive predictable resultsThe connection between core values and daily behaviorWhy environment design beats willpowerHow misaligned standards quietly lead to burnoutSimple ways to create shadow standards that support who you want to becomeThis episode is an invitation to pause, take inventory, and ask a powerful question: Are the standards behind the scenes helping me—or holding me back?

Most people think midlife is about loss, decline, or crisis… but what if it's actually an invitation—to stop performing, stop abandoning yourself, and finally listen to the quiet truths you've been avoiding?In this episode, Samantha sits down with Dr. Amy Lindsey—host of Welcome to Your B-Side—for an unscripted, deeply human conversation about identity, secret desires, shame, purpose, and the courage it takes to follow the nudge when there's no clear plan. Together, they explore podcasting as modern storytelling, midlife as a spiritual awakening, and why authenticity isn't just personal—it's physiological.This isn't a conversation about “fixing” your life.It's about flipping the record over, honoring your B-side, and trusting the next step—even when you can't see the full map.Because fulfillment doesn't come from playing the hits.It comes from telling the truth.Key Topics Discussed:Midlife as an awakening rather than a breakdown or crisisThe concept of “secret thoughts” (desire vs. shame) and why they matterHow self-abandonment impacts mental, emotional, and physical healthPodcasting as modern campfire storytelling and real connectionWhy authenticity is the currency of the futureThe danger of living through your “representative” instead of your true selfPurpose, surrender, and following the nudge one step at a timeConnect with Sam / Voice and VisibilityWebsite: www.voiceandvisibility.comNewsletter: https://voiceandvisibility.myflodesk.com/optinFollow Samantha on Instagram: www.instagram.com/thesamanthawarrenFollow Samantha on Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/voiceandvisibilityConnect with Dr. Amy LindseyPodcast: Welcome to Your B-Side with Dr. Amy LindseyYouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@dramylindseySpotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/1bEr0H0QjFDW5qdYmD66pdApple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/welcome-to-your-b-side-midlife-metamorphosis/id1849468127Website: https://dramylindsey.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dramylindsey/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-amy-lindsey-nd-00a1236/Own It with Samantha Warren, midlife awakening, secret thoughts journaling, identity work podcast, purpose and authenticity, B-side of life, midlife transformation, spiritual awakening midlife, self-concept and health, authenticity and mental health, podcasting as storytelling, leadership identity, surrender and purpose, stop self-abandonment, personal truth and growth, spiritual entrepreneur podcast, inner voice and intuition, identity evolution, authentic living, thought leadership podcast

In this episode, I address one of the most common and frustrating messages women hear when trying to conceive: that you must lose weight in order to get pregnant. I unpack the nuanced relationship between weight, metabolism, and fertility, drawing from research, clinical insight, and my work with clients, with a particular focus on PCOS, insulin resistance, and newer medical tools like GLP-1 medications. My goal is to move this conversation away from shame and oversimplification and toward clarity, empowerment, and true metabolic health.Listen in to hear me share:The connection between BMI and fertility outcomes, and why this doesn't tell the whole storyWhat actually drives fertility challenges, including insulin resistance, chronic inflammation, and stressHow improving diet, lifestyle, movement, and nervous system regulation can support fertility without obsessing over the number on the scaleWhy weight loss may happen as a side effect of treating the root cause of your fertility challengesMy thoughts on GLP-1 medications and fertility, including when they may be helpful, their limitations, and why habits still matterHow to reframe fertility support around nourishment, metabolic health, and long-term well-being, and why that shift can be so powerful+ so much moreConnect with Lauren:Get my FREE PCOS Guide hereJoin the Empowered Path to Pregnancy hereInstagramWork With MeThank you so much for listening to the About Health and Hormones Podcast!

More One Order Arrested — Pro-Maduro Motorcycle Gangs Hunt Trump SupportersToday on Black Dragon Biker TV, we're breaking down three very different biker-related stories happening across the globe — from Canada, to Venezuela, to right here at home — and what they reveal about power, perception, and purpose on two wheels. More One Order MC Arrests in CanadaIf you want to run with the big dogs, you pick up big fleas — and it appears One Order MC in Canada has finally attracted the full attention of law enforcement.Police in Edmonton have laid charges against nine more men as part of a long-running investigation into an alleged organized crime group that expanded west after establishing itself out east. Authorities have publicly displayed seized colors and evidence, signaling that One Order's push toward a hardened outlaw image has come with serious consequences.We'll break down:Why these arrests matterHow organized-crime cases are built over timeWhat happens when clubs chase notorietyAnd what this means for the Canadian MC landscape Venezuela: Pro-Maduro Motorcycle Gangs Take to the StreetsMeanwhile in Caracas, armed pro-Maduro motorcycle gangs—often referred to as colectivos—have reportedly taken control of neighborhoods following the U.S. capture of dictator Nicolás Maduro.According to multiple reports, these militant bike groups are hunting down Venezuelans believed to support the U.S. action or former President Trump, setting up checkpoints, intimidating civilians, and enforcing regime loyalty through fear.We'll discuss:Who these motorcycle militias really areHow bikes are being used as tools of political enforcementThe dangers of armed biker groups aligned with state powerAnd what separates outlaw culture from government-sanctioned violence️ Back Home: MC Steps Up for the CommunityFinally, we'll highlight a powerful reminder of what motorcycle clubs can be when purpose outweighs ego.A local motorcycle club in Ohio has stepped up to pay off outstanding school lunch debts for Clinton-Massie students, ensuring kids aren't punished or embarrassed over unpaid balances.We'll talk about:Why stories like this rarely get mainstream attentionHow MCs quietly support their communities every dayAnd why giving back is just as much a part of biker culture as riding

It's officially 2026—and this year, I'm choosing a different kind of New Year.Instead of jumping straight into big goal-setting sessions and perfectly mapped-out plans, I'm leaning into something gentler: progress over perfection.In this episode, I'm sharing a very real reflection on what this New Year has looked like for me—goal planning at the kitchen table with my four-year-old, rearranging our home to fit this season of life, and learning to release the pressure to do everything “the right way.”We're talking about:Why your goals don't have to be all-or-nothing to matterHow to let intentions guide you instead of restrict youFocusing on small, meaningful steps that move you forwardGiving yourself permission to build momentum slowly and sustainablyChoosing progress—even when life feels messy, full, or unfinishedIf you're stepping into this year craving clarity, peace, and a little more grace for yourself, this episode is for you. You don't need more time or a perfect plan—you just need one small step forward.✨ If this episode encouraged you, I'd love for you to share it with a friend who could use a little extra grace this New Year—or leave a quick review to help this podcast reach more hearts like yours.

A conversation about creative confidence, goal setting, and how sharing your work builds self-worth. Designer Bhavini joins Leila to explore fear, visibility, and growth.In this episode of Psychologically Speaking, Leila Ainge sits down with creative designer Bhavini (B81 Designs) to explore the psychology behind creative confidence, self-worth, and setting goals that stretch you.Bhavini shares the now-iconic story of her childhood Peter Rabbit — the rainbow-drenched sculpture her mum repainted white — and how that moment shaped her creative identity decades later. It becomes a powerful metaphor for self-expression, suppression, and the courage to show the work you're proud of.

AI is moving faster than any technology humanity has ever created. For Christian schools and families committed to timeless, unchanging truth, that speed raises urgent questions. How should schools rethink testing, writing, and academic integrity? Where is the line between being informed and becoming dependent?In this episode of BaseCamp Live, host Davies Owens welcomes back Emily Harrison, a writer, speaker, and consultant who helps schools and churches think wisely about digital media. Emily works closely with Christian and classical Christian communities and equips families to engage technology through a biblical worldview.Together, they explore why AI can be helpful for experts but often harmful for amateurs, especially students who are still forming knowledge, discernment, and intellectual habits. They address student pressure to outsource thinking, the limits of filters and detection tools, and why true formation cannot be automated.Emily raises a growing concern schools can no longer ignore: student digital privacy. With the rise of AI-generated deepfakes and image misuse, she urges schools to rethink how student photos are shared online and to clearly communicate risk, consent, and protection with families.

Have you ever wondered if the doctor you didn't choose might have actually been the right one all along?In today's episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored, Dr. Rady Rahban dives into one of the biggest misconceptions in modern cosmetic surgery — the idea that you must choose a “super-specialist” to get great results. What happens when marketing trends convince patients that a surgeon who does “everything” can't possibly be an expert in the area they care about most?And how many women unknowingly limit themselves because they assume the surgeon they trust “doesn't do that procedure”?In this candid and eye-opening conversation, Dr. Rahban breaks down:The rise of hyper-specialized titles (facial plastic surgeon, oculoplastic surgeon, etc.)How marketing — not training — often shapes public perceptionWhy outcomes, not labels, are the only measure that truly matterHow patients can avoid making decisions based on assumptionsA personal story about a patient who trusted him completely… but still went elsewhere for a facelift simply because she didn't know he performed themWith humor, honesty, and decades of Beverly Hills experience, Dr. Rahban highlights why transparency, evidence, and photographic results should always outweigh buzzwords and branding — especially in a field where the proof is right there on the screen. If you've ever felt unsure about which surgeon to choose, wondered whether specialization equals quality, or wanted to feel more empowered and informed before a cosmetic procedure, this episode will give you the clarity and confidence you deserve.✨ If you love the show, leave a review — it means the world to our team (Sally included)!✨ And share this episode with someone before they make a decision they might regret.✨ If you enjoyed this episode of Plastic Surgery Uncensored:✔️ Subscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or wherever you listen.✔️ Rate & Review—your feedback helps more people find us.✔️ Follow Dr. Rady Rahban across all platforms for daily insights, behind-the-scenes, and patient education:Instagram: @drradyrahbanTikTok: @radyrahbanMDYouTube: @Rady RahbanFacebook: @Rady Rahban✔️ Share this episode with someone considering plastic surgery—the right knowledge can save a life.

www.marktreichel.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/mark-treichel/Episode SummaryIn this archive episode of With Flying Colors, Mark sits down with Todd Miller — longtime NCUA expert, former Director of Special Actions, and member of the CU Exam Solutions team — to break down one of the most misunderstood and under-optimized tools in credit union governance: the board package.Boards get in trouble not because they don't care, Todd explains, but because they are often misinformed, overwhelmed, or kept in the dark. A well-designed board package solves that — if it's built with the right mix of clarity, consistency, and candor.Todd explains:What high-performing board packages includeWhy “size and complexity” shape reporting expectationsThe danger of data dumps, inconsistent formatting, and detail overloadHow to pair dashboards with strong qualitative narrativesThe one question every executive should answer in their reportsWhy peer comparisons matterHow risk appetite, strategic plans, and deviation explanations must tie togetherReal-world stories from troubled and well-run credit unionsHow to avoid examiner criticism by aligning reporting with actual riskThis episode is full of practical actions your board and leadership team can apply immediately.Key Themes & Takeaways1. Great Board Packages Balance Qualitative + Quantitative ReportingTodd outlines a simple principle: Board reports should demonstrate management's compliance with the business plan, board policies, and the credit union's risk appetite. transcript Board Packages Todd …Boards need both data and narrative to understand where the credit union is, how it got there, and where it's going.2. Consistency Builds Board TrustFrom formatting to color-coding to dashboards, consistency helps directors quickly understand risk without getting bogged down.Inconsistent layouts or disorganized reporting create confusion and can lead to micromanagement or oversight failures.3. Avoid the “Data Dump” TrapTodd highlights that many troubled credit unions had mountains of data… but no clarity. Board packets that keep expanding over time—without periodic pruning—bury critical insights.Annual reviews of what stays, what goes, and how information is summarized are essential.4. Dashboards Are Critical — But Must Be Thoughtfully BuiltDashboards should show:Where the CU has beenWhere it is nowWhere it's trending nextThey must also be paired with narrative analysis to flag:VariancesDeviations from strategic/annual plansNew risksNew opportunities5. The Biggest Blind Spot: Credit Risk ReportingCredit risk is the No. 1 cause of failures. Todd explains how to reduce hundreds of pages into 2–3 meaningful pages with:Risk migration visualsLTV + credit score overlaysPortfolio trendsBusiness loan concentration & large-borrower exposure6. Committees Create Risk — and Reporting ObligationsALCO, lending, IT, risk committees… Boards need visibility but not minutiae.Todd walks through how well-run credit unions:Summarize committee outputElevate red flagsKeep the board focused on strategy, not operations7. Real-World Stories—The Good, The Bad, The UglyTodd shares examples of:39 unprofitable branches hidden in an overly detailed packetBoards blindsided by marijuana banking risk and resulting finesA $4 million depositor walking out because the board lacked contextThese stories underscore the need for transparency, context, and prioritization.Why This MattersA strong board package:Improves governanceEnhances regulator confidencePrevents surprisesSupports faster, cleaner examsKeeps boards strategicHelps management demonstrate competence and controlThis episode is a must-listen for CEOs, CFOs, lending executives, and directors looking to elevate their governance culture.

Far from a future add-on, artificial intelligence is already embedded in the cycle of drug safety, from case processing to signal detection. Versatile generative AI models have raised the bar of possibilities but also increased the stakes. How do we use them without losing trust and where do we set the limits?In this two-part episode, Niklas Norén, head of Research at Uppsala Monitoring Centre, unpacks how artificial intelligence can add value to pharmacovigilance and where it should – or shouldn't – go next.Tune in to find out:How to keep up with rapid developments in AI technologyWhy model and performance transparency both matterHow to protect sensitive patient data when using AIWant to know more?Listen to the first part of the interview here.In May 2025, the CIOMS Working Group XIV drafted guidelines for the use of AI in pharmacovigilance.

Khalil and Martin kick off a new series on building business function charts—starting with the foundational step: mapping your workflows. Using a real-world example from Martin's sprinkler company, they walk through how to visualize your business processes, identify bottlenecks, and turn chaos into clarity. By learning to map how work actually flows through your operations, contractors and small business owners can improve communication, streamline execution, and lay the groundwork for scalable systems.What You'll LearnThe difference between org charts and function charts—and why both matterHow to map workflows that clearly show how work moves through your businessWhy visualizing processes helps you manage better and reduce confusionHow tools like Kanban boards and AI can simplify workflow designPractical steps to turn mapped workflows into functional business systemsTime Stamps00:54 - Episode Intro02:20 -Understanding Business Function Charts03:12 -Real-World Workflow Example: Sprinkler Company17:54 -Job Scheduling and Preparation19:49 -Execution and Completion23:08 -Creating Workflows with AISnippets from the Episode“Everyone has workflows. Work is flowing through your business if you're in business. But just like you said, the visual is so helpful for understanding where things actually are.” — Khalil“When we had the sprinkler company, we literally had a Kanban table before software existed. Every job was a packet that moved from one step to the next. You could walk in and see exactly where everything was.” — Martin“You can spend an hour with AI and map out your entire workflow—then clearly see what your business actually does.” — Khalil“You should be using AI in this capacity. It's a thought partner—it helps you think through your processes, not just write emails.” — KhalilKey TakeawaysMap Before You Manage – You can't improve what you can't see.Visualize Workflows – Kanban systems make progress visible and predictable.Leverage AI – Use tools like Claude or ChatGPT to build, test, and refine workflows.Clarify Functions – Define what your business actually does, not just who does it.Lay the Foundation – Workflow clarity is the first step to scalable systems and future function charts.Resources⁠⁠⁠⁠24 Things⁠⁠⁠⁠ Construction Business Owners Need to Successfully Hire & Train an Executive Assistant⁠⁠⁠⁠Schedule⁠⁠⁠⁠ a 15-Minute Roadblock CallCheck out⁠⁠⁠⁠ OpenPhone⁠⁠⁠⁠Build a Business that Runs without you.

Have you ever found yourself holding onto feelings of guilt or shame long after a difficult experience or mistake? In this episode, Jill sits down with Dr. Carolyn Allard, a leading voice in trauma-focused psychology and research. Together, they unpack the complex nature of guilt and shame, especially when these emotions become non-adaptive in the face of trauma or hardship. Carolyn, who is also the author of Transform Your Guilt and Shame: Evidence-Based Strategies to Heal from Trauma and Adversity, shares how to recognize the difference between guilt and shame and introduces the idea of “non-adaptive guilt and shame” (NAGS). You'll gain insight into how these emotions link to moral injury and other trauma responses, and walk away with actionable tools such as hindsight bias and justification analysis to better understand, challenge, and manage them.Listen and Learn: How guilt and shame differ lies in focus, as guilt is about actions and shame is about identity, and why they matterHow moral injury can emerge from situations where individuals face impossible choices that conflict with their values, leading to lasting feelings of guilt and shameWhy we feel non-adaptive guilt and shame often comes down to distorted beliefs about responsibility, justification, and values, and how understanding these patterns helps us break free from self-blame and move toward self-compassionHow hindsight bias can trick us into unfair self-judgment, and by reflecting on our choices and context at the time, we can gain a clearer, kinder perspectiveUnderstanding the difference between accountability (being answerable) and responsibility (having control or intention) and how this helps us untangle guilt and shame, process mistakes effectively, and break the self-reinforcing cycles of trauma that impair our ability to act according to our valuesResources: Transform Your Guilt and Shame: Evidence-Based Strategies to Heal from Trauma and Adversity: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781433843419 Carolyn's Website: https://www.carolynallardphd.com/Connect with Carolyn on Social Media: Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/carolynallardphd.bsky.social Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/p/Carolyn-Allard-PhD LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/carolyn-allard-99749155/About Carolyn B.
