Podcast appearances and mentions of Melanie Smith

Episode 368: Here, we delve into the life and crimes of Brigitte Denise Cleroux, examining how she repeatedly evaded regulatory scrutiny, the suffering she caused, and the systemic failures that enabled her persistence for so long. This story is a chilling tale of deception, exploitation, and the profound breach of trust within Canada's health-care system. Cleroux masqueraded as a nurse for years in multiple provinces — British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta, and Quebec. She treated hundreds of patients, administering drugs and even performing medical procedures, all without a single legitimate credential. Her actions left a trail of traumatized patients, betrayed colleagues, and a health system forced to reckon with the vulnerabilities she so ruthlessly exploited.

C'est un outil que vous ne connaissiez peut-être pas mais qui pourtant était sous vos yeux depuis des années… En effet, Meta mettait à disposition de ses utilisateurs le logiciel CrowdTangle, qui permettait de suivre tout ce qui s'apparente à de la désinformation, des théories du complot aux campagnes de manipulation provenant de l'étranger. Un logiciel très utile vous en conviendrez, qui disparaitra pourtant le 14 août prochain. À la place, le groupe de Mark Zuckerberg explique qu'il proposera une bibliothèque de contenus. Reste à savoir à quoi cela correspond concrètement. Ceci dit, ce remplacement ne semble pas être au niveau pour les professionnels, comme l'explique l'ancien directeur général de CrowdTangle Brandon Silverman que je cite : « c'est une toute nouvelle technologie que Meta doit encore construire pour protéger l'intégrité des élections » fin de citation.Du côté des professionnels en question, c'est en effet un sentiment d'inquiétude qui domine, je cite la directrice de recherche de l'Institute for Strategic Dialogue, Melanie Smith « la suppression de l'accès à CrowdTangle limitera considérablement la surveillance indépendante des dommages » fin de citation. Il faut dire que cette annonce tombe au pire moment. CrowdTangle sera en effet rendu indisponible quelques mois à peine avant l'élection présidentielle des États-Unis, c'est-à-dire durant les mois où l'on risque de voir potentiellement apparaître le plus de campagnes de désinformation. Désormais plusieurs questions se posent. Est-ce une décision calculée de la part de Meta dans un timing si spécial ? Cette décision ne risque-t-elle pas de leur être reproché en cas d'influence sur l'élection américaine ? Sans tomber dans la théorie du complot, force est de constater que le timing est assez curieux. Reste désormais à savoir comment se comporteront les réseaux à l'approche de cette élection et si Meta tiendra son engagement avec les autres géants de la tech comme Google ou Amazon, afin de protéger les prochaines élections de la désinformation.

What is interoceptive awareness and can it play a role in the development of eating disorders? What is interoceptive exposure and how can it be used in the treatment of eating disorders? In this podcast episode, Kate Fisch speaks with Dr. Melanie Smith about interoceptive exposure and awareness. She discusses how interoceptive exposure can help assist our clients and develop more effective treatments. MEET DR. MELANIE SMITH Melanie Smith, PhD, LMHC, CEDS-S, is the Director of Training for The Renfrew Center. In this role, she provides ongoing training, supervision and consultation to clinicians across disciplines for the purpose of continually assessing and improving competence in the treatment of eating disorders. Dr. Smith is co-author of The Renfrew Unified Treatment for Eating Disorders and Comorbidity Therapist Guide and Workbook (Oxford University Press), is a Certified Eating Disorders Specialist and Approved Supervisor, and is a Certified Therapist & Trainer for the Unified Protocol for the Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP).  Visit Melanie Smith to find out more.   IN THIS PODCAST What is interoception? What is interoceptive awareness? How can we use interoceptive exposure to help clients? The brain and body image.   Where do we start in terms of interoception? “Let's start with interoception in and of itself. This is just our body's internal perception, so our bodily senses of what is happening inside our body.” Dr. Melanie Smith Our clients are always looking for as many tools as they can to treat their eating disorder clients. It is important for us, as therapists, to understand all the factors that can influence eating disorders… “When we think about eating disorder application; our ability to sense if I'm hungry, if I'm full, if my stomach doesn't feel good; all of that is what we're talking about when we're talking about interoception.” Dr. Melanie Smith   What then is interoceptive awareness? “Interoceptive awareness is the level to which we are consciously aware of the things happening inside our bodies.” Dr. Melanie Smith   It is important to understand what level of interoceptive awareness a client has and how they react to what is happening inside the body, because most of us, most of the time, shouldn't be (or aren't) noticing things such as our heart beating or ourselves breathing. “Heightened levels of interoceptive awareness also results in heightened anxiety about what is happening inside our body. So we might start to overthink it or overinterpret what it means.” Dr. Melanie Smith   How can we use interoceptive exposure to help clients?   “The ultimate goal with interoceptive exposure is to intentionally evoke those same unpleasant, uncomfortable sensations. So, we're going to allow ourselves to experience that emotion, allow it to rise, BUT allow it to fall and learn that this is actually something we can tolerate.” Dr. Melanie Smith   Interoceptive exposure seems to align with other methods and skills that we already understand as therapists or clinicians. If we were to think about Mentalizing, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy or Dialectic Behavioral Therapy. “Those same principles are absolutely at work here, which is why I would suggest it as a wonderful adjunctive that could nicely coincide with any of those treatment approaches.” Dr. Melanie Smith   When was this developed and is there any current research into the method?   “The first places you'll see it in the literature as a proposed intervention, from an experimental standpoint, was back in the late 80s, maybe early 90s. But I think in the 80s specifically, it was proposed as a Cognitive behavioral exposure-based intervention for panic disorders.” “There's also a lot of really interesting evidence out there and people doing more trials with this with individuals with PTSD because when you think about trauma response and the way that trauma is held within the body, and that bodily reaction, you're not going to talk someone out of that. There have been really successful applications with other chronic illnesses and chronic pain.” Dr Melanie Smith   When talking to a family or talking to a client and trying to explain what is happening to us or to your brain start by explaining; You have your brain which is the organ which Neurologists take care of, and then you have your mind which is a little bit less tangible and it's what us therapists take care of. One of the issues that we have is that our civilization, which is backed by our minds, has actually evolved faster than our brains have so our brains get activated by perceived threat and still think tigers are chasing us. It's still our brain, that primitive Caveman Limbic system, deep in the depths of our primitive brain that is not aware that it's not a tiger. That's that overinterpretation of threat. When our brain is not aware that it is not a tiger. So it is still dropping all of those neurochemicals associated with running for your life. Now our minds are thinking; “there's not a tiger - so why is my heart beating this fast?”. My heart's beating that fast because my brain told it to because it thinks I'm running from a tiger.  There's something about that idea of separating the brain from the mind that really helps people understand that they're not defective. They're not doing something wrong, or their loved one isn't doing something wrong or isn't broken. In fact, you're the opposite of broken. Your brain is working magnificently, it's doing exactly what it's designed to do. Now our mind needs to override that brain part and that feels like such a good starting point.   “Those teaching examples and metaphors I think are so brilliant. I literally start with that one, usually the tiger. That's one of my teaching examples.” Dr. Melanie Smith   Let's talk about what this all looks like in a therapy room and any examples you may have. “All of the education kind of stuff we just talked about, you have to bring in the room with a client using language that is appropriate developmentally and, again, relationally; like it's not a science class but we are teaching them about science.” Dr Melanie Smith   It is clear that introspective exposure is a tool that therapists and clinicians can incorporate, but as a method of treatment, this is not something you're going to start off with. We need to get past certain stages in therapy and have foundational blocks before we move onto using interoceptive exposure with clients.

"To give Trevor and I some credit, we know what we have," Miles Baker said those words in an interview in May of 2023, right after announcing the syndication of the Bay Roan Stallion by the name of The Darkk Side. Baker and Trevor Brazile, a 26-time World Champion himself, never faltered in their faith in the standout rope horse. They spoke proudly about The Darkk Side. "He's a winner." Brazile said earlier this year after three trips to town brought his earnings to over $20,000. Following todays events, The Darkk Side has now earned over $75,000 and now holds a title that is hard to come by... World Champion. The stallion was started by Chris Littlefield as a two year old before going under Miles and Trevor in the Relentless Remuda program his three year old year, where he would make history by becoming the first Rope Horse Stallion to be syndicated. "There's just nothing like him" Solo Select's Melanie Smith said. "This is such a huge victory, for all of us here. From the syndicate share holders - who now have a part of a World Champion stallion, to Dixon Flowers Rope Horses who bred him and who own his dam DT Sugar Chex Whiz. It's a big deal."   The Darkk Side wasn't the only winner today, the 2019 bay roan stallion Pride And Joyy 'Kilo' also made his mark, bringing home $14,000 and becoming a Bronze Champion in the AQHA Junior Heeling.   This special episode takes place immediately after receiving the news, where Melanie Smith, Miles Baker, and Trevor Brazile talk about the incredible morning both stallions had. You can learn more about The Darkk Side by visiting www.thedarkkside.com and more information will be coming soon on Pride And Joyy.

A lady who needs zero introduction, she's changing the entire game for selling horses and she's showing no signs of slowing down any time soon

Celebrated for her prominent role in As the World Turns, actress Melanie Smith has redirected her professional journey toward the exploration of heartache, grief, and reinvention. Her endeavors have encompassed guiding numerous individuals in breaking free from their past, unearthing their authentic identities, and masterminding profound shifts in their life trajectories.Joining Thank You Heartbreak at the 7-minute mark, Melanie provides an exclusive peek into the genesis of her inaugural book, "Unfinished Business: 8 Steps to Heal Your Trauma, Transcend Your Past, and Transform Your Life." She delves deeply into the intricate tapestry of emotions that propelled her research, recounting her personal odyssey of conquering childhood illness and subsequent solitude, debunking the illusion of an idealized existence, and embarking on the profound inner journey that facilitated her harmonious union with self and others.Within this emotionally charged narrative lies the poignant tale of her mother's untimely departure due to a rare form of cancer, the tragic death of her sister, the dissolution of her marital bond, and the dizzying relinquishment of her once-cherished dream home. These cascading adversities served as the impetus for her to confront a fundamental query: "Who would I be, could I be, if nothing or no one had ever gotten in my way?"Melanie's work surrounding Unfinished Business underscores the significance of addressing lingering unresolved issues, which have the potential to obstruct the path to self-discovery and self-fulfillment, ultimately preventing individuals from embracing their destined sense of self.Key episode themes:Trauma from being diverted from our perceived life purpose.Link between early validations and entrapment in adult obligations.Recovery as a vital life skill for inner peace and abundance through life's pain.Trust in oneself and a higher pattern.Value of charge-free and trigger-free dating.Body as a guide to finding our sweet spot of belonging.Girls abandon their bodies; boys abandon their hearts.Healing potential of relationships.Self-attunement for self-understanding.Distinguishing between the necessity for survival-driven special attention and ordinariness.Melanie Smith:Website: https://workwithmelaniesmith.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/melaniesmithofficialUnfinished Business: https://unfinishedbusinessthebook.comUnfinished Business via Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Unfinished-Business-Trauma-Transcend-TransformChelsea Leigh Trescott:Website: https://breakupward.comEmail: chelsea@breakupward.comAdvice Column: https://www.huffpost.comWriting: https://thoughtcatalog.com/chelsea-leigh-tresco

Each fall, hundreds of migrating bird species visit New York City from other countries and territories, including places as far away as Argentina and Uruguay. That's just one of the highlights from the Bird Migration Explorer, a digital platform from Audubon and nine partner organizations. Melanie Smith, program director for Audubon's Bird Migration Explorer, joins to walk us through the platform, which visualizes the epic journeys the birds take on their migration routes and the challenges they face along the way.

We're certainly in the golden age of bird science, with more birders, more researchers, and more tools available to both of them to solve many of the great ornithological mysteries and to marvel at the capabilities of birds. National Audubon and a few bird science partners have put a lot of this modern science in a sleek simple package called the Bird Migration Explorer, a guide to the annual journeys of 450 birds in the Americas. Audubon scientists Melanie Smith and Chad Witko join us to talk the explorer and the wonders of bird migration.  Plus, a Duck Stamp art winner with a familiar name.  Subscribe to the podcast at Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and Google Podcasts, and please leave a rating or a review if you are so inclined!
