I'm joined by Michelle Weger, the first guest I've ever had on the show who lives with narcolepsy, for a powerful conversation about invisible illness, fear, productivity, rest, and what it really takes to keep moving forward when your energy is limited and misunderstood. Michelle is a productivity expert, bestselling author, and international keynote speaker. Throughout our conversation you'll hear her share what daily life with narcolepsy actually looks like, how receiving her diagnosis upended the identity she thought she had, and how she rebuilt confidence and purpose one practical step at a time. We talk honestly about fear, perfectionism, procrastination, vulnerability, and why rest is not optional, especially for women in leadership. This is a conversation about doing what you can with the energy you have, letting go of shame, and redefining success on your own terms. In this episode, you'll hear: What living with narcolepsy is really like, including chronic exhaustion, disrupted sleep cycles, and why “sleepy” is very different from “tired” (3:36) How Michelle's diagnosis changed her life overnight, including losing her driver's license and the identity she thought she was building (10:08) Why fear doesn't disappear as you grow, and how learning to move through it is more important than trying to eliminate it Practical ways to work through procrastination and perfectionism (15:09) What Michelle has learned from working alongside her Great Dane service dog, Quinn, including lessons about asking for and receiving help (33:54) How to balance ambition, productivity, and energy limits, especially for women in leadership (37:32) Common misconceptions about invisible conditions like narcolepsy and why there is no one-size-fits-all experience or solution (39:35) Resources from this episode: Write Your Way Through It starts on January 21st!

Most men past their 30s aren't broken. They feel depleted, but their doctors point to normal labs and move on.In this episode of the Smart Nutrition Made Simple Show, I sit down with Nico Misleh, Clinician, Nurse Practitioner and Founder of HRT University who trains medical providers in hormone optimization and works directly with patients in practice.We break down the impact of hormones to overall wellness, testosterone replacement therapy (TRT), and why diet and lifestyle alone eventually stops being enough for a lot of men.

"We proposed a concept to the American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), recognizing that extravasation management requires significant interdisciplinary collaboration and rapid action. There can occasionally be uncertainty or lack of clear guidance when an extravasation event occurs, and our objective was to look at this evidence with the expert panel to create a resource to support oncology teams overall. We hope that the guideline can help mitigate harm and improve patient outcomes," Caroline Clark, MSN, APRN, AGCNS-BC, OCN®, EBP-C, director of guidelines and quality at ONS, told Chelsea Backler, MSN, APRN, AGCNS-BC, AOCNS®, VA-BC, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about the ONS/ASCO Guideline on the Management of Antineoplastic Extravasation.

To find resources for creating an ONS Podcast club in your chapter or nursing community, visit the ONS Podcast Library. To provide feedback or otherwise reach ONS about the podcast, email pubONSVoice@ons.org. Highlights From This Episode "The focus of this guideline was specifically on intravenous antineoplastic extravasation or when a vesicant or an irritant with vesicant properties leaks out of the vascular space. This can cause an injury to the patient that's influenced by several factors including the specific drug that was involved in the extravasation, whether it was DNA binding, how much extravasated, the affected area, and individual patient characteristics." TS 1:48 "The panel identified and ranked outcomes that mattered most with extravasation. Not surprising, one of the first was tissue necrosis. Like, 'How are we going to prevent tissue necrosis and preserve tissue?' The next were pain, quality of life, delays in cancer treatment: How is an extravasation going to delay cancer treatment that's vital to the patient? Is an extravasation also going to result in hospitalization or additional surgical interventions that would be burdensome to the patient? ... We had a systematic review team that then went in and summarized the data, and the panel applied the grading of recommendations, assessment, development, and evaluation (GRADE) criteria, grading quality of evidence and weighing factors like patient preferences, cost, and feasibility of an intervention. From there, they developed their recommendations." TS 7:35 "The panel, from the onset, wanted to make sure we had something visual for our readers to reference. They combined evidence from the systematic review, other scholarly sources, and their real-world clinical experience to make this one-page supplementary algorithm. They wanted it to be comprehensive and easy to follow, and they included not only those acute management steps but also guidance on 'How do I document this and what are the objective and subjective assessment factors to look at? What am I going to tell the patient?' In practice, for use of that, I would compare it to your current processes and identify any gaps to inform policies in your individual organizations." TS 16:34 "The guidelines don't take place of clinician expertise; they're not intended to cover every situation, but a situation that keeps coming up that we should talk about as a limitation, is we're seeing these case reports of tissue injury with antibody–drug conjugate extravasation. There's still not enough evidence to inform care around the use of antidotes with those agents, so this still needs to be addressed on a case-by-case basis. We still need publication of those case studies, what was done, and outcomes to help inform direction." TS 19:24 "Beyond the acute management is to ensure thorough documentation regarding extravasation. Whether you're on electronic documentation or on paper, are the prompts there for the nurse to capture all of the factors that should be captured regarding that extravasation? The size, the measurement, the patient's complaints. Is there redness? Things like that. And then within the teams, everyone should know where to find that initial extravasation assessment so that later on, if they're in a different clinic, they have something to go by to see how the extravasation is healing or progressing. ... I think there's an importance here, too, to our novice oncology nurses and their preceptors. This could be anxiety-provoking for the whole team and the patient, so we want to increase confidence in management. So, I think using these resources for onboarding novice oncology nurses is important." TS 22:34
Entrepreneur, nurse practitioner and Manhattan medspa founder Andi Assebian, MSN, AGNP-C, joins the podcast to share her journey from the Ivory Coast to the heart of New York City's aesthetic medicine scene. Drawing from her extensive background in physiology and perioperative nursing, Andi discusses how she built a practice that supports anatomy-driven beauty standards. She shares the stark reality of navigating the medical field as a woman of color and the determination required to scale a business while raising a family.

Anatomy-Driven Aesthetics: Why she travels the globe to learn techniques that focus on balance and harmony over simple volume, and why the best aesthetic work should remain undetectable. The Courage to Ask: How asking for support and networking allowed her to expand from a single room to a thriving Midtown Manhattan practice in just two years.

The end of the year can bring a lot of pressure to reflect, reset, and reinvent yourself all at once. Some people love the fresh-start energy of January, while others feel overwhelmed, resistant, or just plain tired. Wherever you fall on that spectrum, this episode is an invitation to step away from the noise and approach the transition into a new year in a way that actually feels supportive. In this short episode, I talk about why January isn't as powerful as we've been led to believe, why there's no single “right” way to do personal growth, and how you don't need resolutions, routines, or lifestyle overhauls to be worthy of change. I also guide you through a simple end-of-year reflection designed to help you close the year with honesty and move forward with clarity—without pressure or what might feel like performative positivity. In this episode, we explore: Why you don't have to begin the year with resolutions, intentions, or rigid routines in order to grow or change How January is just a date on the calendar, and why meaningful resets can happen at any point in the year The importance of questioning advice that claims there's only one correct way to heal, grow, or live well A simple end-of-year inventory that invites you to reflect on: The wins and moments where you showed up for yourself The lessons you learned about your needs, limits, and patterns The losses, endings, and disappointments that shaped your year What you're ready to stop carrying forward into the next year Why focusing on how you want to feel can be more grounding than focusing on what you want to accomplish How choosing a few feeling-words for the year ahead can serve as a compass rather than a set of rules As you step into the new year, remember that you're not behind and you don't need to have everything figured out right away. You're allowed to move slowly, do things differently, and begin again whenever it feels right for you. Resources from this episode: Write Your Way Through It starts on January 21st!

The human heart is a tireless biomechanical marvel—an exquisitely engineered pump powered by both mechanical precision and an intrinsic electrical system, beating over 100,000 times a day to sustain life. But like any machine, despite having an electrical mind of its own, it is not infallible—when its rhythm drifts or its mechanics strain, the impact is felt far beyond the chest. From more complex cases like heart failure and detrimental arrhythmias to the more-known feared heart attack caused by high cholesterol, it leads to questions — What can we do to safeguard the health of our heart? What should one do when they experience chest pain? And how do we learn to listen to the heart's warning signs before they become life-altering events?In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Diala Steitieh, MD, a board-certified cardiologist and assistant professor of clinical medicine, focusing on hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and sports cardiology, based in New York City.Dr. Steitieh received her MD from Weill Cornell Medicine in Qatar and completed her Internal Medicine Residency and Cardiovascular Disease Fellowship at NewYork-Presbyterian Hospital/Weill Cornell Medical College.

"They [monoclonal antibodies] are able to cause tumor cell death by binding to and blocking to necessary growth factor signaling pathways for tumor cell survival. That's going to be dependent on the target of the antibody, but I'll give an example of epidermal growth factor, or EGFR. This is overexpressed in several different kinds of cancers where activation of this growth factor increases the amount of proliferation and migration of cancer cells. So, if we bind to it and block to it, then that would help halt these pathways and stop cancer cell growth," Carissa Ganihong, PharmD, BCOP, oncology and bone marrow transplantation clinical pharmacist at Hackensack University Medical Center in New Jersey, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about monoclonal antibodies.

Highlights From This Episode "Prior to monoclonal antibodies, all we really had were these toxic chemotherapies or toxic radiation, so it was recognized how great it would be if we could have a treatment that was much more specific to the tumor cells and have agents that have less toxicities. These advancements in monoclonal antibody production began in the 1980s. ... Eventually, we had the first monoclonal antibody that was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for an oncologic indication, rituximab." TS 4:14 "Nowadays, we do have treatments that are also considered tumor-agnostic. This is when a patient has a certain biomarker, then that treatment can be given and FDA approval was given, regardless what type of tumor the patient has. We typically see these kinds of tumor-agnostic therapies more so in patients who have recurrent or advanced diseases in solid tumors. One monoclonal antibody example that comes to mind is dostarlimab. That's a checkpoint inhibitor that's approved for patients who are deficient in mismatch repair mechanism." TS 23:48 "Our immune system constantly has this surveillance system and it's able to recognize foreign pathogens, abnormal cells, and even precancerous cells. And they're able to eliminate them before they become cancerous. But on the flip side, one of the regulatory mechanisms that we have so our immune system doesn't attack itself is the presence of checkpoints. When these checkpoints bind to their ligands, this can then act as an off switch so that, again, our immune system is not going to attack itself. But then the tumor cells can take advantage of this and actually use this mechanism to evade the immune system. So, when we're giving a checkpoint inhibitor, now we're removing that off switch. As a consequence, common adverse effects can include things like immune mediated adverse events. These most commonly affect the skin, gastrointestinal tract, and liver. Essentially, this can cause any '-itis' you can think of." TS 26:36 "Looking at strategies to prevent infusion reactions, one example is the use of premedication. If premedication is recommended, this typically includes any combination of antipyretics, which is typically acetaminophen. Antihistamine, which is typically an H1 antagonist like diphenhydramine. Although, there could be cases where we want to substitute this agent because maybe the patient has been tolerating therapy okay, and they're having a lot of side effects. So, we might use a second-generation antihistamine in some cases. The premedication may be given with or without some kind of steroid, whether that's methylprednisolone, hydrocortisone, or dexamethasone." TS 29:53 "We tend to think of monoclonal antibody usage to be primary oncology, but that's not really the case. The first monoclonal antibodies that were developed were not for oncologic indications, they were for transplant indication for cardiac indication. So, they're really diversely utilized across all specialties and medicines. We have monoclonal antibodies for hyperlipidemia, for neurology, for rheumatology, so the uses are so very expansive across all specialties." TS 41:01

I'm joined by Irina Vlada for an honest conversation about healing, nervous system regulation, and what real integration actually looks like when working with psychedelics and other therapeutic tools. Irina helps people navigate transformation at the intersection of psychedelics, spirituality, psychology, and wellness. I met her earlier this year at Rythmia, and after spending time with her and diving deeper into her work, I knew I had to bring her on the show. Irina has over a decade of experience as a coach and facilitator, and from 2020 to 2022, she worked as an Integration Coach with Mindbloom, guiding more than 200 clients through preparation and integration for ketamine-assisted therapy. In our conversation, she's clear about one thing: psychedelic medicine isn't the work itself. Real transformation happens afterward, through integration, embodiment, and taking actionable steps that rewire habits, thoughts, and the nervous system. Without that process, insight can fade just as quickly as it arrives. We also talk about why ancient practices like breathwork and meditation are such powerful tools for healing trauma, regulating the nervous system, and expanding awareness, often without needing altered states at all. And for anyone curious but skeptical about psychedelics, Irina emphasizes the importance of safety, education, preparation, and the willingness to surrender to the process. In this episode, you'll hear: How Irina bridges psychedelics, spirituality, psychology, and wellness through lived experience and ethical practice (4:05) Her personal path to self-awareness and healing, including trauma and the long road of recovery (5:47) What ketamine-assisted therapy involves, why integration matters, and how insight without action quickly fades (17:21) How meditation, breathwork, yoga, and nervous system regulation create real, lasting change without psychedelics (25:06) What Irina emphasizes for people who feel skeptical or unsure about psychedelics from a therapeutic standpoint (44:39) Resources from this episode: Write Your Way Through It Come see me in Costa Rica at Rythmia Ayahuasca Retreat in January!

"The thought of recurrence is also a psychosocial issue for our patients. They're being monitored very closely for five years, so there's always that thought in the back of their head, 'What if the cancer comes back? What are the next steps? What am I going to do next?' It's really important that we have conversations with patients and their families about where they're at, what we're looking for, and reassure them that we'll be with them during this journey and help them through whatever next steps happen," ONS member Clara Beaver, DNP, RN, AOCNS®, ACNS-BC, manager of clinical education and clinical nurse specialist at Karmanos Cancer Institute in Detroit, MI, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about prostate cancer survivorship considerations for nurses.

Highlights From This Episode "Some of the most common late side effects [are] urinary, bowel, and sexual dysfunction issues. For urinary effects, it can include urgency and frequency, some incontinence, or a weak or slow urine stream that frequently bothers the patient after treatment. Bowel effects can happen such as constipation, diarrhea, or inflammation of the rectum, which can lead to bleeding or mucus discharge. And then erectile dysfunction is another side effect that patients with prostate cancer often deal with and have to work with their physicians on, depending on what they want with that function. Fatigue, lymphedema, and skin changes can also occur after treatment." TS 1:40 "If we can catch [prostate cancer] and take care of it at an early stage, overall survival is about 90%. If the disease is localized, it's 99%. If we can take out the prostate, radiate the prostate, we can do something with that—localized, 99% survival rate. If there's regional metastasis, it's about 90%. And if there's distant metastasis, it's about 30% survival." TS 3:55 "Prostate cancer recurs in about 20%–30% of patients within the first five years of initial treatment. ... There's not a lot of research out there that shows what can reduce risk, but what has been shown to be effective is regular exercise, quitting smoking, and eating a healthy diet. ... It's really important for our patients to understand the importance of having follow-up visits so that we can catch a recurrence quickly instead of waiting years down the road. Prostate cancer is usually a slow-growing disease, so if we can pick it up quickly in those revisits, we can start another treatment for the patient." TS 6:00 "Sexuality is not something many people are comfortable discussing, but we really need to talk with patients and let them know that this is normal. It is normal that you may have some sexual dysfunction. It's normal that you may not feel the way you did before. Talk to us about it, let us know where you're at, let us know what your goals are, because there are a lot of things we can do. There are medications we can use for impedance. There are devices and implants available to help the patient to support them and give them whatever their goal is for their sexuality." TS 9:41 "Providing survivorship care plans are important for these patients—something that can be sent off to everyone else that's caring for that patient. You have your primary care physician, urologist, oncologist, the oncology nurse, maybe a navigator, and [others] who are looking into this patient. So, giving that patient a survivor care plan and putting it with their files to include a summary of the treatment received, because most of the time a patient is not going to remember exactly what they received. A suggested schedule for follow-up exams—so again, if a primary care provider is not used to dealing with a patient with prostate cancer, they have something to go off of. A schedule of other tests they may need in the future including screening for other types of cancer. Are they a smoker? Do they need lung screening? Do they need any other screenings related to types of cancers? And then a list of possible late or long-term side effects." TS 15:16 "I think a lot of people know about the long-term sexual effects, but what we don't really talk about is the effect that it has on the patient's self-image. How they define themselves, how they look, their body image, their self-image. It's really important that we continue to discuss it with patients and make them comfortable when discussing their sexuality and their goals for sexuality. They may be having these self-image issues after treatment that they're just not telling us about and that can affect their quality of life." TS 18:38

Most people imagine schizophrenia beginning with dramatic hallucinations or sudden breaks from reality—but the truth is far more subtle, far more complicated, and far easier to miss. In this special featured episode from Inside Schizophrenia, host Rachel Star Withers, who lives openly with schizophrenia, joins co-host Gabe Howard to unpack the quiet red flags that often go unnoticed for months—or even years. You'll hear how early symptoms differ across children, teens, and adults, why up to 80% of people with schizophrenia don't realize they're experiencing warning signs, and how everyday stressors can mask the earliest hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking. Psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner Carlos Larrauri, who also lives with schizophrenia, joins the conversation to explain what current research is uncovering about prodromal stages and early detection efforts. Listener Takeaways Why early schizophrenia symptoms are so subtle that most people overlook them Key differences in warning signs across children, teens, and adults Why families often miss early red flags—and why that's understandable What researchers are doing to identify schizophrenia sooner From shadow people to slipping grades, from forgotten appointments to unexplained sensory sensitivity, this episode pulls back the curtain on the earliest—and most misunderstood—phase of schizophrenia. Whether you're a parent, partner, friend, clinician, or simply curious, this episode offers the clarity, compassion, and insight needed to recognize when something deeper may be happening long before a crisis appears. Our guest, Carlos A. Larrauri, MSN, is co-chair of the Accelerating Medicines Partnership® Schizophrenia (AMP® SCZ) and has formerly served on the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) and NAMI Miami-Dade County Board of Directors. Diagnosed with schizophrenia at 23 years old, access to quality mental health care, community-based treatment, and early intervention afforded him the best opportunity for recovery. Mr. Larrauri is pursuing a law degree at the University of Michigan Law School and a concurrent master in public administration at the Harvard Kennedy School, where he was Zuckerman Fellow at Harvard's Center for Public Leadership. He's board certified as a family nurse practitioner and psychiatric mental health nurse practitioner and formerly lectured at the University of Miami and Miami Dade College. Mr. Larrauri aspires to interface advocacy and research to reduce health inequities for people living with mental illness. To learn more about Carlos and his work, visit his website or his LinkedIn. Our guest host, Rachel Star Withers, creates videos documenting her schizophrenia, ways to manage, and let others like her know they're not alone and can still live an amazing life. She has written “Lil Broken Star: Understanding Schizophrenia for Kids” and a tool for schizophrenics, “To See in the Dark: Hallucination and Delusion Journal.” Learn more at RachelStarLive.com.

“To grow to an 8-figure business, you have to fire yourself – let go of doing all of the things that you think you have to do as the founder, as the advisor, and really let go so you can step into this visionary leadership role that most founders want to be in.” Julia Carlson In this conversation, Julia Carlson shares how she grew her practice from scratch, building a dynamic team and eventually stepping into a visionary leadership role (yes, “firing herself” in the process). You'll hear about her dedication to helping both retirees and entrepreneurs, her passion for holistic financial planning, and her mission to inspire 1,000 entrepreneurs to each give $1 million to causes they care about, ultimately creating a $1 billion movement for good. Whether you're looking for insights on scaling a business, creating meaningful differentiation, building a powerful team culture, or simply finding happiness and balance as an advisor, you'll find Julia brings both practical strategies and a refreshingly authentic perspective. Bill and Julia Discuss: How leaders shift from rugged self-reliance to collaborative leadership as their firm scales. How her Retirement Readiness Checklist becomes a magnet for her Right-Fit Clients. The power of serving both pre-retirees and business owners and how this dual focus fuels deeper relationships. Why Julia chose organic growth over acquisitions and what that has meant for her firm's culture, trust, and scalability. The impact of embedding generosity into a business model and how the $1 Billion for Good movement inspires teams and clients alike. Why modern advisors must blend investment + insurance + planning into one holistic approach.

Welcome to Monday Motivation
In this podcast episode, Courtney Stathis DNP, FNP-BC, RN and Catherine Wilson-Mooney, MSN, RN discuss the growing use of GLP-1 medications for weight loss and the urgent need to address their psychological, ethical, and social implications. Although these drugs can lead to significant weight reduction, they do not automatically improve body image or mental health, and may even be linked to depression and suicidal ideation. The conversation highlights the role of psychiatric nursing in educating patients, assessing emotional well-being, and ensuring safe use, especially as social media and cultural pressures drive patients to seek quick fixes. Concerns are raised about cost disparities, mail-order or compounded versions, and the increasing prescription to children, whose physical and emotional development may be at risk. The conversation underscores the importance of ethical prescribing, practitioner oversight, and deeper attention to the psychological side of weight management, beyond the physical outcomes. Read the related article, "The physiologic and psychologic effects of glucagon-like peptide-1 receptor agonists" in the September issue of Nursing2025.

Catherine Wilson-Mooney, MS, RN is a Nurse Educator who received her MS in Nursing Management and Leadership from Walden University and a BSN from the City University of New York at the College of Staten Island.

"I'll go back to the backpack analogy. When your kids come home with a backpack, all of a sudden their homework is not on the desk where it's supposed to be. It's in the kitchen; it kind of spreads all over the place, but it's still in the house. When we give antibody–drug conjugates (ADCs), the chemotherapy does go in, but then it can kind of permeate out of the cell membrane and something right next to it—another cancer cell that might not look exactly like the cancer cell that the chemotherapy was delivered into—is affected and the chemotherapy goes over to that cancer cell and kills it," ONS member Marisha Pasteris, OCN®, office practice nurse in the breast medicine service at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center in New York, NY, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about ADCs in metastatic breast cancer.

Highlights From This Episode "What an ADC is doing is taking the antibody and linking it to a cytotoxic chemotherapy with the idea of delivering it directly into the cell. How I explain this to new nurses or patients is a backpack analogy. If we think of it as a HER2 molecule wearing a chemo backpack, it's going to find the HER2 receptor attached to it and then drop the chemotherapy into the cell via the backpack. Similar to how we come home from work, we open the key to our door, we're carrying all of our items, and then we drop our own personal items in our house." TS 2:30 "The reason that so many patients with metastatic breast cancer are able to receive ADC therapy is because they are targeting two very common antibodies that we see in breast cancer. One is HER2 and the other is trophoblast cell surface antigen 2 (TROP2). These are seen across the board. We see these on triple-negative breast cancers, hormone receptor–positive cancers, and HER2-positive breast cancers. And now we have a new way to talk about HER2, which is a HER2-low. ... Recently, we have found that patients who express low levels of HER2 are able to receive ADC therapy, specifically fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan." TS 4:21 "Another [ADC] that has just been approved is datopotamab deruxtecan. This is another ADC that targets the TROP2 receptor on a cancer cell. This one carries a lot of side effects. I mentioned earlier that you need an ophthalmology clearance because there is a lot of ocular toxicity around this one. We see a lot of blepharitis, conjunctivitis, there can be blurred vision. Another thing we monitor on this one is mucositis. In the package insert, there's a recommendation for using ice chips while receiving the treatment. ... Then in the HER2-positive and HER2-low space is the big one, which is fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan. This was approved in 2019 for the HER2-positive patients, then more recently in the HER2-low [patients]. The big [side effect] with this one is interstitial lung disease." TS 10:11 "Interstitial lung disease is an inflammation or a little bit of fibrosis within the lung that causes an impaired exchange between the oxygen and carbon dioxide. This was seen in the clinical trials, specifically around fam-trastuzumab deruxtecan. During the trials, they had a very small percentage, I think it was 1%, that died due to interstitial lung disease. So, this is a very important side effect for us as nurses to be aware of. It typically presents in patients like a dyspnea. A lot of times, it's like, 'Well, I used to be able to walk my kid to the bus stop, but now when I walk there, I feel really short of breath.' Or 'I've had this dry cough for the past couple weeks and I've tried medications, but haven't had that relieved.' So, we really need to be aware of that because early intervention in interstitial lung disease is key." TS 12:57 "ADCs are toxic drugs. They have the benefit of being targeted, but we know that they carry a lot of side effects. ... Their specificity makes them so wonderful and we've seen amazing responses to these drugs. But also, we want patients to be safe. We want to give these drugs safely. So, we have to assess our patients and make sure that this is an appropriate patient to give this therapy to. I think that's an open conversation that clinicians need to have with patients regarding these drugs." TS 18:08

We're talking about what it feels like to live in a world that just won't let up and how to stay connected to yourself when everything around you feels chaotic. Returning guest Kate Swoboda is here to dig into fear, overwhelm, and the emotional fallout of constant crisis. Kate is the creator of YourCourageousLife.com, Director of the ICF-accredited Certified Life Coach Collective, and author of The Courage Habit. She's spent years helping people break fear patterns and practice courage in real, everyday ways and she brings that wisdom straight into this conversation. Together, we unpack the toll nonstop stress takes on your nervous system, why doomscrolling feels like quicksand, and how courage has nothing to do with muscling through. Instead, it's about capacity, self-regulation, and the internal stories that shape how you move through the world. Kate and I also talk about overwhelm, somatic support, and why the smallest emotional shifts often end up being the most life-changing. In this episode, you'll hear: How to stay informed about a messy world without getting emotionally pulled under (3:44) What it really takes to build resilience and courage in daily life (14:53) Where to start when overwhelm takes over and you can't see a way out of the spiral (21:01) What to consider if you're drawn to becoming a life coach during your own growth journey (31:57) Resources from this episode: Join me for my workshop: Live Like You Give a Damn (As the World Burns) Certified Life Coach Collective (CLCC) Insight Timer Kate's website Kate on Instagram Book recommendations: I love a good personal development book, and you do too, right?

"Working as an oncology infusion nurse, being oncology certified, attending chapter meetings, going to ONS Congress® has really taught me plenty. But being an oncology patient taught me way more. I know firsthand the fears 'you have cancer' brings. Then going through further testing, CT scans, MRIs, genetics, the whole preparation for surgery was something I never considered when I treated a breast cancer patient," ONS member Catherine Parsons, RN, OCN®, told Valerie Burger, MA, MS, RN, OCN®, CPN, member of the ONS 50th anniversary planning committee, during a conversation about her experience being an oncology nurse and cancer survivor. Burger spoke with Parsons and ONS members Margaret Hopkins, MSN, RN, OCN®, HNB-BC, and Afton Dickerson, MSN, AGACNP-BCP, CBCN®, AOCNP®, CGRA, about how cancer survivorship has shaped their careers as oncology nurses and personal lives.

I thought I knew the side effects. There's so much I didn't know. There's so much behind the scenes before a patient comes and sits in my chair. The stuff that they go through I now can understand. It surprised me how much I didn't know." TS 11:39 Hopkins: "I had been thinking I'm going to be that hero, that I can go to work. I work at night, get 8 am radiation appointments, and go home and go to sleep and wake up and go to work again because everyone said, 'Oh, it's not that bad. Radiation will be okay. You can work.' … But the real challenge for me was I didn't know how to be a patient and a nurse at the same time. And my first radiation treatment, I go in there, and I change into the gown, and then I started cleaning up because I was getting treatment done at the hospital where I worked, and were taught if you see a mess, you clean it. So I was acting like a nurse. And I almost wanted to go help the other patients, but I couldn't because I had to focus on healing." TS 15:36 Dickerson: "What made the difference for me were the nurses who didn't just treat my illness. They treated me as a whole person—my emotions, my feelings. They made me smile. They would hold my hand or just take a moment to really ask, 'Hey, how are you?' And those small, little gestures made me feel worthy, made me feel like a human. I always tell nurses it's not just about the chemo; it's about the connection. Sometimes your presence is the most healing thing that you can offer to your patient." TS 30:52
My new book, Live Like You Give a Damn, comes out December 9th, and I'm so excited for you to finally read it. And right after that, on December 18th, I'm teaching a free workshop to help you reset, reconnect with yourself, and head into the new year with clarity. In today's episode, we're digging into communication; specifically the two paths you have when things get tricky: the courageous, connection-building path of hard conversations, and the protective, peace-preserving path of grey rocking. Knowing which one to choose is the skill. In This Episode You'll Hear: Why hard conversations matter and how they're the backbone of healthy relationships How to recognize when connection is possible versus when self-protection needs to come first What grey rocking actually is and why it's not “cold,” it's strategic How to choose the right communication lane instead of defaulting to old patterns An example of grey rocking with a difficult family member during gatherings Communication isn't one-size-fits-all — it's about discernment. Some relationships deserve your clarity, vulnerability, and effort. Others require neutrality, distance, and zero emotional investment. The magic is learning the difference and choosing the approach that keeps you grounded, sane, and true to yourself.

Episode Summary: This episode is powered by The 7 Figure Shift Workshop “Radical honesty is the bridge between the body you have and the life you crave.” – Maraya Brown Can we be honest?! There is an often-overlooked link between hormone balance and a woman's ability to lead, speak and be seen at scale. And because it's been overlooked, we are definitely not taking it into consideration as women leveraging & scaling business empires. That stops TODAY. If you're scaling to seven figures while secretly ignoring the signs your body is whispering (or screaming), this episode is your wake-up call. Legacy-led leadership doesn't come from burnout; it's built from balance. In this intimate and disruptive conversation, Dr. Darnyelle sits down with Maraya Brown—Yale-trained CNM, women's health expert, and powerhouse CEO—to unpack the truth about what it really takes to sustain your brilliance without sacrificing your body. We're talking hormones, perimenopause, adrenal fatigue, libido, nervous system regulation, and the untold cost of hustling while hormonally depleted. You'll finally understand how your body, brain, and bank account are inextricably linked—and why optimizing your internal ecosystem is your next million-dollar move. Whether you're in the boardroom, the bedroom, or the bleeding edge of burnout, this is the episode that will change the way you do business—because if your health is on the back burner, so is your impact. This is your invitation to ditch the myth that scaling a business means sacrificing your body. If you've been running on caffeine, willpower, and survival mode, it's time to reclaim the vitality that fuels true overflow. Hit play to discover why the real ROI comes when your hormones, heart, and hustle are finally aligned. Here's the truth: A dysregulated nervous system, depleted hormones, and unresolved trauma will cap your capacity faster than any business bottleneck. Most seven-figure CEOs aren't underperforming—they're over-extended and under-resourced internally. Your strategy isn't broken—your system is screaming. Real overflow starts in your body. You'll walk away with a powerful framework to reconnect with your physical body as a portal to profit, new language for understanding what your burnout and libido are really trying to tell you and a reset button for how you show up in your business and your relationships. Get your Move to Millions Podcast notebook ready—you'll want to take notes on the lessons packed into this incredible conversation! Listen in to discover: ✔ How to identify hormonal imbalances that are silently sabotaging your business success ✔ Why regulating your nervous system is the ultimate secret to scaling with sustainability ✔ 3 non-negotiables every 7-figure woman must prioritize to access overflow, pleasure, and profit ✔ And so much more This episode is a call to stop gaslighting your own body in the name of ambition. It's time to shift the paradigm: from success that depletes to success that sustains. In a market that glorifies hustle and downplays healing, this episode challenges the high-achieving woman to get radically honest about what she's carrying—physically, emotionally, and hormonally—and how it's affecting her ability to lead, love, and live fully. Maraya Brown delivers insights that will shift your physiology and your profitability. Powerful Quotes from The Episode: “Radical honesty is the bridge between the body you have and the life you crave.” – Maraya Brown “Your body doesn't lie—but you've learned to ignore her.” – Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “We cannot grow sustainably in our business if we're silently eroding in our body.” – Maraya Brown “Overflow is not just about money; it's about hormones, health, and harmony.” – Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “Most women think their exhaustion is normal; but it's not your normal, it's your nervous system in distress.” – Maraya Brown Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Where in my life am I pretending I feel fine when I'm actually depleted? What story am I telling myself about needing to “push through” that no longer serves me? How might honoring my body create more income than any launch or sales strategy? When was the last time I felt deep, sustainable energy and vitality? What would radically honest self-care actually look like in this season?

Megan chats to Kat Duncan about sustainable organic traffic and why intentional content, email strategy and high volume output matter more than chasing trends. Kat is the CEO of Honeycomb Media, a women-owned and operated marketing agency that works primarily with food bloggers. Passionate about marketing and social media from a young age, Kat has spent the past five years helping bloggers grow their online presence. Under her leadership, Honeycomb Media has become especially strong at driving organic traffic for food bloggers. She lives on the coast of South Carolina with her husband and their two kids. Kat loves that her work revolves around food and is dedicated to giving bloggers the tools and support they need to succeed in such a competitive space. She breaks down the platforms that actually move the needle right now and why food bloggers should lean into email, Pinterest, social search and consistent publishing. She shares what is working for clients across Honeycomb Media, how to approach Newsbreak and MSN, and what it really takes to stay visible in a competitive landscape. If you want long term, steady traffic instead of algorithm anxiety, this is your roadmap. Key points discussed include: Email is your easiest win and a simple popup can grow your list fast. Roundups drive reliable traffic especially when you keep them clear and helpful. Pinterest is resurging and rewards high volume, real imagery and authentic recipes. Social media is now a search engine and people want real food from real creators. Newsbreak and MSN still matter and can be lucrative for high output creators. Google is rewarding connection so write for humans and skip the keyword stuffing. Interlinking builds authority and keeps readers exploring your site. You cannot do everything alone so output eventually requires support and strategy.

We're talking about stress and the body, the kind that simmers under the surface until something forces you to finally pay attention. This week's guest, Stacey Garcia, knows that story intimately. After a lifetime of movement through dance, wellness, and “doing everything right,” she was hit with a breast cancer diagnosis that changed the way she thought about stress, healing, intuition, and what it really means to care for yourself. What unfolds in this conversation is an honest look at how stress wakes things up in the body (and not necessarily in a good way), why so many women minimize their symptoms, and how energy healing, daily practices, and self-advocacy become lifelines when your world tilts. Stacey, a dancer, trainer, Reiki practitioner, and host of Never Miss a Monday, brings a grounded wisdom to this episode that I know will stay with you long after it ends. In this episode, you'll hear: Stacey shares how dance, wellness, and a breast cancer diagnosis shaped the work she does today (4:14) Why chronic stress often shows up right before a major diagnosis and how Stacey began to recognize her own patterns (10:38) What Reiki actually is, how it works, and the emotional releases people experience during sessions (16:09) The one belief about food and bodies Stacey wishes we would retire for good (21:49) Simple ways to tiptoe into spiritual or nervous system practices without overwhelm (24:15) Why becoming the CEO of your own health matters, especially when doctors dismiss you (34:01) Her evolving relationship with control and how energy work helped her surrender during treatment (40:46) Resources from this episode: Join me for my workshop: Live Like You Give a Damn As the World Burns Never Miss a Monday podcast Stacey on Instagram Book recommendations: I love a good personal development book, and you do too, right?
