We talk about early MSN messaging and the ways that print-outs could be weaponised against your childhood opponents. We also talk about Amelia's latest article in the New Statesman, which investigates why so many people think that the concept of time is ‘different' now, and whether there's any scientific truth to the belief that time is now faster than it used to be.  Read Amelia's article in The New Statesman : https://www.newstatesman.com/special-report/2026/08/have-you-noticed-that-time-is-speeding-up Get a copy of Amelia's debut book, Lily Tripp: Diary of an Accidental Time Traveller : https://www.waterstones.com/book/lily-tripp-diary-of-an-accidental-time-traveller/amelia-tait/9781444931983 ------- LEBANON AID LINKS Here are some fundraisers to support collective rebuilding and survival efforts on the ground in Lebanon. -Beit El-Baraka started out as a food bank, but has grown to help people afford rent, cover their essentials, and live with dignity.  https://beitelbaraka.org/donate-directly/ or donate in general https://beitelbaraka.org/donate-now/ -LiveLove was a charity for a number of other matters, but since 2024 has been solely comitted to helping people displaced by Israeli attacks. https://livelove.org/donate -Lebanese Food Bank supports displaced and impoverished people https://lebanesefoodbank.org/take-action/donate/ Solar Powered Lebanon is an initiative to restore people's power using solar panels, since larger infrastructure is at constant risk of attack. https://fundahope.com/en/campaigns/solar-powered-lebanon ----- PALESTINE AID LINKS These are some general links you can support collective efforts with! -The Palestinian Communist Youth Union is doing a food and water effort, and is part of the official communist party of Palestine https://www.gofundme.com/f/to-preserve-whats-left-of-humanity-global-solidarity -Water is Life, a water distribution project in North Gaza affiliated with an Indigenous American organization and the Freedom Flotilla https://www.waterislifegaza.org/ -Vegetable Distribution Fund, which secured and delivers fresh veg, affiliated with Freedom Flotilla also https://www.instagram.com/linking/fundraiser?fundraiser_id=1102739514947848 ----- PHOEBE ALERT Okay, now that we have your attention; check out her Substack Here!

In part two of Laura's conversation with Becky Russell, they continue exploring the four parts of our worldview by turning to meaning and destiny. Becky shares how serving others in simple, everyday ways helped her begin to rediscover meaning after Jae Lin's death. They also discuss the hope of heaven, the continuation of love, and how our beliefs about what comes after this life can provide a framework for processing the pain of child loss. Becky also shares the powerful manifesto she wrote when a trusted friend encouraged her to stop focusing on what she no longer believed and begin identifying what she still knew to be true. If grief has left you questioning God, your faith, or whether life can ever be worth living again, this honest conversation will encourage you to consider what you do believe and allow those truths to become an anchor when doubt and fear creep in. Becky Russell, RN, MA, MSN, has spent her entire adult life in some form of extending mercy to others. As a registered nurse, with two master's degrees in health care administration and education, she practiced in a variety of roles of Intensive Care, Cardiac Rehabilitation and Education. She recently retired from Baptist Health as the Director of Clinical Learning and Professional Development. During her career, Becky spent years helping others navigate grief. Then on March 18, 2004, her daughter, Jae Lynn, and two of Jae Lynn's friends, were killed in a car accident, and Becky found herself navigating her own deep grief. After the devastating loss, Becky joined and then began to facilitate a monthly support group for The Bereaved Parents of the USA. She is a creative national and local speaker and authors the Facebook blog “Weepyseeds”. Becky lives in Arkansas, with her husband, Ralph, of 44 years, and is the mother of Jae Lynn's two surviving sisters.

Era sábado à noite, nos anos 2000.Mais cedo, no MSN:“10h na porta?”“Fechou.”Você se arrumava, encontrava os amigos e ia para a balada. Sem stories, sem localização em tempo real, sem saber antes quem estaria lá. Você simplesmente descobria quando chegava.Na pista, tocava Summer Eletrohits. No refrão, ninguém levantava o celular.Levantava os braços.O momento ficava na memória de quem estava vivendo. Não virava Reels no dia seguinte.Se quisesse uma foto do rolê, precisava ter um amigo com câmera digital ou encontrar o fotógrafo da balada. No dia seguinte, todo mundo procurava as fotos na internet. Flash estourado, olho vermelho, alguém cortado, foto tremida.E todo mundo achava incrível.Uma delas ainda podia virar sua foto do Orkut pelos próximos seis meses.E se você fizesse alguma besteira durante a noite e ninguém tivesse fotografado, acabava ali. No máximo, virava história entre os amigos. Você não acordava no domingo viralizado.Até para encontrar alguém que sumiu no rolê era diferente:“kd vc?”E localização em tempo real? Kkkkk. Sonha.Ficar em casa também tinha seu ritual. Pizzaria pelo telefone fixo, Zorra Total, depois Supercine. No domingo, Fórmula 1, Globo Rural, almoço em família, Turma do Didi e Domingo Legal.Lasanha ou frango no forno. Coca-Cola de 2 litros. Todo mundo à mesa.Ninguém dizia:“Peraí, deixa eu tirar uma foto.”A comida não precisava esperar por um story.Mais tarde, alguém chamava:“Bora dar uma volta?”E “dar uma volta” podia significar praça, calçadão, sorveteria ou casa de alguém.Ninguém escolhia o lugar pensando em qual foto ia render.À noite, o Fantástico anunciava que o fim de semana estava acabando.E você não passava o domingo comparando sua vida com a de outras 300 pessoas nos stories. Não sabia quem tinha viajado, saído mais ou almoçado melhor.Você tinha vivido o seu.Na segunda-feira, a pergunta era simples:“E aí, fez o quê no fim de semana?”E você contava tudo.Porque ninguém tinha acompanhado sua vida pela internet antes de você contar.Era real time de verdade.Talvez alguns dos melhores fins de semana da nossa vida não tenham virado conteúdo porque não precisavam.Eles simplesmente aconteceram.Talvez a gente tivesse menos conteúdo, mas mais presença.Menos comparação e mais experiência.Menos necessidade de mostrar e mais liberdade para viver.Bons tempos.Ou talvez tenham sido tão bons porque a gente estava inteiro dentro deles.

"They're really worried that radiation is going to be painful. So they come in for that first day of treatment very anxious. With our patients with brain cancer, we're using the masks on the table, and those masks are very tight and hold their heads very, very still. So they'll be very worried about being claustrophobic. We may start out the first day or two with a little bit of [lorazepam]. And they'll come to me and they'll say, 'This really hasn't been as bad as I thought it was going to be,'" ONS member Catherine McCluskey, BSN, RN, OCN®, ROCN™, radiation oncology staff nurse at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist in Winston-Salem, NC, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, who was the manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS at the time of the recording, during a conversation about radiation side effects in central nervous system (CNS) cancers.

Highlights From This Episode "With primary tumors—glioblastomas, astrocytoma, all of those types of cancerous primary CNS tumors, the tumors are not very well-defined. They have little tentacles that kind of go out, so doing something like Gamma Knife, which is very precise, is not as effective as an external beam because the external beam will deliver radiation to all those little tentacles that are out there in the brain. And with Gamma Knife, you really can't effectively do that." TS 2:34 "When we're doing radiation to the brain, fortunately there aren't that many acute toxicities involved. Sometimes they'll have some mild dermatitis. Usually, it's not very significant. They, like everyone else who gets radiation, will have fatigue. Usually once we get to the end of the second week of radiation, into the third week for our patients with primary CNS tumors—the hair loss—they'll start to notice hair loss just in the treatment area. But those are typical, the things that we've seen most. Sometimes we'll have patients who will experience some nausea, maybe a few headaches, but really the acute toxicities are not severe typically with our patients with brain tumors." TS 8:30 "[For] the fatigue, I tell patients to just listen to their bodies. We don't want them to be sedentary, and we want them to go out and continue living their lives. But I do warn them that the fatigue is pretty much common to all patients receiving radiation at various degrees, depending on the patient. I just tell them to do what they feel like doing, and then when they're tired to rest, and if they find themselves having a nap in the afternoon, that's okay." TS 13:51 "What I find with these patients in particular is that a lot of times, their first symptoms related to any type of cancer are CNS symptoms from brain metastasis. Our patients with lung cancer or melanoma—they come in through the emergency room for altered mental status or seizures or something like that. They find a mass in their brain, and then they find a mass on their lung, or they find masses everywhere. Typically, they want to treat the brain masses first before they start them on any kind of systemic treatment. And so, they'll come to us, and they're in shock. Everything's happened very quickly. They haven't had a chance to really catch their breath. They're overwhelmed. And so I try to make sure they understand that everyone that they see here is part of their team and is with them through this journey and they're not alone." TS 25:36 "A couple of years ago, ONS put out an email asking for people to volunteer to do a delineation study about the feasibility of doing a radiation oncology certified nursing exam. And I, just on a whim, responded to that email. It's not something I've ever done before, and thinking that I would not be put on the team. … And I thought, 'I don't have enough experience, I don't know what I'm doing, and they won't choose me.' And lo and behold, they put me on this role delineation study. … I have met so many incredible nurses with all kinds of experience. I've learned so much. It has opened up a lot of things for me and it's been really exciting, so all I can do is say take advantage of those opportunities when they come. Don't think that you don't know enough, because you know more than you think you do." TS 32:38 

Decentralized clinical Trials (DCTs) bring some or all elements of a clinical trial closer to patients. Consent, screening, treatment administration, and more can be administered through digital technologies and local health care providers, expanding accessibility for patients who face barriers to participation in traditional single site trials. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with Erin Pierce, MSN, APRN, FNP-C, Associate Clinical Investigator and Nurse Practitioner at HonorHealth Research Institute, and Kristen Kipping-Johnsson, MPH, Director of Network Research Operations at the University of Chicago, about how each of their cancer programs are approaching DCT implementation. Their discussion explores how decentralized components, such as community-based treatment delivery, centralized research infrastructure, and hybrid trial designs, can increase participation opportunities for patients in both community and academic settings. Guests: Erin Pierce, MSN, APRN, FNP-C Associate Clinical Investigator Nurse Practitioner HonorHealth Research Institute Scottsdale, AZ   Kristen Kipping-Johnson, MPH Director of Network Research Operations University of Chicago Chicago, IL "APPs are really poised to step into that role [of investigator] and help, not take the place of physicians, but work alongside our physician colleagues and enable us to expand the abilities of research." —Erin Pierce, MSN, APRN, FNP-C "Quality of life, being able to keep patients treated closer to home, allow them to stay with the physician that diagnosed them...Those are the things that are really important to me when it comes to decentralization." —Kristen Kipping-Johnson, MPH Resources HonorHealth Research Institute's First Steps to Approaching Decentralized Clinical Trials (DCTs) University of Chicago's Path to Operationalizing Decentralized Phase 1 Trials Across a Regional Network ACCC's Community Oncology Research Institute White Paper: Bringing Cancer Research to the Community:  Strategic Approaches to Representative Oncology Clinical Trial Design This podcast was created in partnership with the Decentralized Trials & Research Alliance, with support from Eli Lilly and Company, Gilead Sciences, and Merck.

.Step inside one of the most unique corners of American healthcare as Transmission Interrupted takes you behind the scenes of the National Quarantine Unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Nebraska Medicine. In this episode, host Jill Morgan is joined by key members of the Nebraska team—Dr. Katie Willet, Morgan Shradar, and Angie Vasa—to explore how preparedness, partnership, and people form the backbone of the nation's only dedicated quarantine unit. Listeners will discover the origin story of this 20-bed unit, why it's different from both home quarantine and traditional hospital isolation, and how its creation was driven by real-world lessons from recent public health emergencies like the Ebola outbreak and COVID-19 pandemic.From the practical logistics of care (think twice-daily health checks, concierge-level support, and even laundry service) to the psychological challenges of isolation and the intricacies of national and global collaboration, this episode sheds light on the critical thinking and teamwork required to protect both individuals and the community during high-stakes contagious threats. Hear firsthand how the UNMC and Nebraska Medicine team adapts with each new pathogen, leans on the strength of their Omaha community, and continuously trains to stay a step ahead of the next big infectious risk—demonstrating “Nebraska nice” even in the toughest circumstances.Questions or comments for NETEC?

In this episode, Laura talks with Becky Russell about her daughter, Jae, who died in a car accident at sixteen. Becky shares how her deep spiritual foundation was shaken by the confusion and questions that followed, leaving her to wrestle with beliefs she once thought were unshakable. Laura and Becky begin exploring four parts of our worldview that influence how we process grief: origin, morality, meaning, and destiny. In this first half of their conversation, they focus on origin and morality, discussing what we believe about where life comes from, how we determine truth, and what happens when child loss brings spiritual mayhem into everything we thought we knew. If your child's death has left you confused about God or questioning beliefs you once felt certain about, this honest conversation is one you will want to hear. Becky Russell, RN, MA, MSN, has spent her entire adult life in some form of extending mercy to others. As a registered nurse, with two master's degrees in health care administration and education, she practiced in a variety of roles of Intensive Care, Cardiac Rehabilitation and Education. She recently retired from Baptist Health as the Director of Clinical Learning and Professional Development. During her career, Becky spent years helping others navigate grief. Then on March 18, 2004, her daughter, Jae Lynn, and two of Jae Lynn's friends, were killed in a car accident, and Becky found herself navigating her own deep grief. After the devastating loss, Becky joined and then began to facilitate a monthly support group for The Bereaved Parents of the USA. She is a creative national and local speaker and authors the Facebook blog “Weepyseeds”. Becky lives in Arkansas, with her husband, Ralph, of 44 years, and is the mother of Jae Lynn's two surviving sisters.

“We're just not looking at the whole person anymore.” - Stacey RobertsSometimes a patient is doing everything they're supposed to do, but they're still in pain. They've tried physical therapy, massage, supplements, maybe even surgery, and they're still looking for answers. Those are the cases that invite us to widen our lens. Because pain isn't only about what's happening in a joint or a muscle. Hormones, inflammation, gut health, nervous system signaling, sleep, stress, and biomechanics can all be part of the picture, and understanding those connections gives us more ways to help.Practicing this way also requires a different kind of healthcare model. It's almost impossible to have the necessary conversations when you're seeing several patients an hour or working within a system that doesn't give you the time to ask deeper questions. More practitioners are beginning to create practices where they can offer that kind of whole-person care, and that brings up its own questions. What can you do within your scope? When should you collaborate or hire? And can you really build a successful cash-based integrative practice if you don't live in a large or affluent market?In this episode, I'm joined by Stacey Roberts, PT, RN, MSN, a musculoskeletal specialist, pelvic and sexual health physiotherapist, and functional medicine specialist with more than 30 years of experience. Stacey shares how questions she couldn't answer through traditional physical therapy led her to explore the gut-joint connection, hormones, inflammation, and other drivers of chronic pain, what it looks like to expand your skills without stepping outside your scope, building the right clinical team, how Stacey grew a thriving cash-based practice after being told that model wouldn't work in her community, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/an-integrative-physical-therapy-approach-to-chronic-pain-with-stacey-roberts/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).Find and follow us @integrativewomenshealth on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@integrativewomenshealth) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/integrativewomenshealth/).

Sleep Is the Missing Piece of Recovery? | Nurse Sarah Jeffries on Sleep, Addiction & HealingWhat if sleep is one of the most important—and most overlooked—parts of recovery?On this episode of SleepTech Talk, we sit down with Sarah Jeffries, RN, BSN, MSN, an ER nurse, nurse educator, and sleep health advocate, for a wide-ranging conversation about why sleep needs to be treated as an essential part of recovery—not an optional extra.Sarah shares what she learned firsthand as an ER nurse: sacrificing her own sleep didn't make her a better healthcare provider. In fact, getting adequate sleep was essential to being fully present and effective for her patients.We also explore the connection between sleep and addiction, including how problematic pornography use can interfere with sleep and why addressing the underlying addiction may be an important part of recovery.And Sarah brings a unique personal perspective to the conversation as the wife of Olympic bronze-medal boxer Tony Jeffries. Through his athletic career and recovery, she has seen firsthand just how important sleep can be for physical and mental performance.We discuss:• Why sleep is essential for virtually every kind of recovery• What Sarah learned about sleep while working in the ER• Why healthcare professionals need to prioritize their own sleep• The connection between addiction, pornography use, and sleep• Why sleep should be part of the conversation around recovery from CTE and brain injury• What athletes can teach us about sleep and recovery• Sarah's personal experience supporting an Olympic boxer• Why better sleep may be one of the most powerful recovery tools we haveSleep isn't just what happens when recovery stops. Sleep is part of recovery.About Sarah JeffriesSarah Jeffries, RN, BSN, MSN, is a registered nurse, nurse educator, and sleep health educator with experience in emergency-room nursing.

Golf instruction, unforgettable stories, and inside perspectives from some of the brightest minds in the game headline this week's edition of Next on the Tee. Resident Director of Instruction Tom Patri returns fresh off his annual charity golf marathon to discuss how many holes he was able to play and the incredible job he's done raising money for the South Florida PGA Foundation, plus Rory McIlroy's controversial comments about the FedEx Cup Playoffs, and the meteoric rise of PGA Tour rookie Jackson Koivun. Tom also shares lessons learned from coaching more than 125 PGA and LPGA Tour professionals, reveals what separates great players from good ones, explains how 10-15-handicappers can lower their scores faster, and names the best ball striker, driver, wedge player, putter, competitor, and most naturally gifted players he's ever seen. Then, another one of the top instructors in our game, Virgil Herring joins me to discuss his recognition as one of MSN's Top 10 Keynote Speakers, the messages he hopes every audience takes home, his unique Ryder Cup of Wine event, TEDx speaking experiences, and how he helps players get prepared to win. In the third segment, sports historian, author, and The Sports Time Traveler podcast host Len Ferman takes us back through some of the greatest stories in sports history. We revisit Arnold Palmer's heartbreaking collapse and Billy Casper's legendary comeback at the 1966 U.S. Open. Len talks about the legends who filled that leaderboard, from Ben Hogan to a very young Johnny Miller. From that gripping story, we shift to tales about the '66 baseball season and a couple of stories near and dear to my heart about Pirates greats Woodie Fryman and Dale Long. We dive way inside Long's stretch of 8 home runs in 8 consecutive games, a record that's been tied but never broken, and what kept Long in the minor leagues so long. Whether you're looking to improve your game, hear incredible stories from golf history, or gain insights from some of the game's top teachers, this episode delivers another memorable edition of Next on the Tee—where golf legends live and your game gets better.

"A good way of thinking about this is this is the survival of the fittest clone. There could be a portion of a cancer that naturally has some resistance or ability to survive a particular drug. And over time, as the other cells around it are dying off, that particular clone is able to replicate and continue to survive in the face of that drug therapy and eventually take over as being the fittest clone. At that point, we're often seeing disease progression," Danielle Roman, PharmD, BCOP, manager of clinical pharmacy services at the Allegheny Health Network Cancer Institute in Pittsburgh, PA, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about resistance pathways.  Music Credit: "Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons by Attribution 3.0  Earn 0.5 contact hours of nursing continuing professional development (NCPD), including 30 minutes of pharmacotherapeutic content, by listening to the full recording and completing an evaluation at courses.ons.org by August 7, 2027.

Highlights From This Episode "As we look at drug resistance, this is the concept that cancer cells are no longer able to respond to a cancer treatment. The downstream of this is that we could end up with progression of the disease and need to look at alternative therapies that may be beneficial for the patient. This is unfortunately a very common phenomenon. Drug resistance is a major cause of treatment failure and poor patient outcomes with treatments. Unfortunately, this is an issue we see that increases over time on treatment." TS 2:29 "Genetics play a really big role in drug resistance. We know that drug resistance can be due to different things. It could be epigenetics. It could be the tumor microenvironment factors. But genetics often play a very big role in resistance pathways. It's generally considered to be a critical contributor to resistance, particularly in the way of acquired variants to drug targets or amplifications of certain oncogenes that can lead cancers to have progression. A well-known genetic alteration is the BRCA1/BRCA2 variant that helps to make the cancer more efficient at fixing DNA damage. So we're trying to get DNA damage with chemotherapy, and this particular variant helps at fixing that damage to allow the cancer to progress. So that is one genetic variant we see that plays a big role in a number of different cancers." TS 4:51 "These pathways are not mutually exclusive. Oftentimes we have multiple resistance pathways involved. I think it's important to understand some of those individually, but kind of thinking about this as we might be facing multiple resistance pathways. ... We can see resistance mechanisms that vary based on the type of treatment we use, for example, traditional cytotoxic chemotherapy. We may be more likely to see some resistance mechanisms that are working at DNA: repairing broken DNA or working on those efflux pumps that are being used to push chemotherapy out of cells. If we're talking more about the targeted therapies such as tyrosine kinase inhibitors or monoclonal antibodies, we may be more likely to see resistance mechanisms that are what we discussed with that drug target alteration: changing the way that the target agents are able to bind to the tumor cells to activate or inactivate pathways so we may see some changes there." TS 12:39 "One way to overcome this and to help to decrease the resistance from developing is using combination therapy: drugs that are targeting different pathways at once or potentially using combinations with things like chemotherapy in addition to immunotherapy. In this way, as we're getting these different targets, we can hopefully decrease the mechanism of resistance that may be developing." TS 14:48 "Biomarker testing is an incredibly important part of our practice. In many situations now, we are getting upfront, comprehensive biomarker testing to identify whether the patient may have any of those intrinsic or primary resistance mechanisms that might make it so a patient is never going to respond to a particular type of treatment. And in that case, we can spare the patient from the potential toxicities of that treatment if we don't think that there's going to be benefit there. So I think that that has become a really important way that we can tailor patients for understanding what treatments are going to be more effective. And then after that, there's usually additional biomarker testing that may be warranted at the time of progression in certain types of cancer. And that really helps us to understand that acquired resistance that might be developing." TS 17:32 "Nurses are really helpful with filling in the gaps and bringing back patient concerns that might be shared with them. And these might be early signs of progression. Better understanding how our patients are feeling and what's going on with them may help us to identify a patient that we need to do some additional testing for to understand whether there is drug resistance ongoing and potential progression of disease." TS 21:52

In this episode, Jennifer Venator, MSN, RN, CNS, CNOR, CRNFA, Executive Director, Surgical Services, Providence St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton CA, shares how trusted, real-time data is improving surgical access, operational efficiency, and collaboration across care teams. She also discusses how automation and emerging AI capabilities can streamline perioperative workflows, reduce administrative burden, and help clinicians stay focused on patient care.

Bispecific antibodies (BsAbs) continue to garner the interest of both academic and community cancer centers due to their rapid growth in FDA approvals and increasing use in hematologic malignancies and solid tumors. However, practical considerations such as treatment-related toxicities, choosing the right delivery model, and staffing constraints deter many programs from attempting to implement BsAbs. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with 2026 ACCC Innovator Award winner Kate Kennedy, MSN, APRN, ACNP-BC, AOCNP, an Outpatient Hematology Advanced Practice Provider (APP) Team Lead at Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center, about her program's APP-led BsAb step-up dosing clinic. With APPs at the helm, this model enables efficient and specialty-expert management of therapies while optimizing physician resources. In addition, its adherence to step-up dosing protocols prioritizes patient safety and convenience while reducing inpatient resource utilization. "[It's important to look] at what you need to spend money on, [make] sure that you're spending money on the right things, and then [look] for areas like space and staff that maybe have capacity that you can utilize in a little bit of a different way to deliver this care." – Kathryn Kennedy, MSN, APRN, ACNP-BC, AOCNP Guest: Kathryn Kennedy, MSN, APRN, ACNP-BC, AOCNPOutpatient Hematology APP Team Lead Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center Nashville, Tennessee Resources: ACCC 43rd National Oncology Conference 2026 ACCC Innovator Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center Blog: An APP-Led Outpatient Bispecific Antibody Clinic Podcast: APPs Paving the Way in Leadership Blog: Maximizing the Role of APPs in Oncology Care Blog: Bispecific Antibodies Are Moving Forward; So Are the Implementation Questions

Episode 19: Juggling It All Without Losing Ourselves How do we keep all the plates spinning without forgetting how to actually enjoy life? In this episode, Dr. Emily K. Cabrera, EdD, MSN, CAGS, PMHNP-BC and Katie Krych, MSN, RN, PMHNP(c) tackle the reality of trying to juggle careers, family, relationships, responsibilities, and everything in between while still making room for joy, connection, and fun. Through honest conversation, relatable stories, and plenty of laughter, Emily and Katie explore why so many women feel pressure to "do it all," the guilt that often comes with taking time for ourselves, and how easily we judge both ourselves and each other for the choices we make. Together they discuss: • The mental load of balancing multiple roles • Why fun often becomes the first thing we sacrifice • Practical strategies for staying grounded when life feels overwhelming • Letting go of comparison and the need to do things "the right way" • Learning to support, not judge, other women whose choices may look different from our own • Making intentional space for rest, laughter, and the people who matter most This episode is a reminder that there is no perfect way to balance life. Every family, every career, and every season looks different. The goal is not perfection. It is creating a life that allows us to care for others without losing ourselves in the process. Join us for a conversation filled with practical tips, encouragement, and a healthy reminder that sometimes the best thing on your to-do list is simply to enjoy the moment.

Adam Flowe, MSN, CRNA returns to Beyond the Mask for a follow-up conversation on onco-anesthesia, cancer research, and the rapidly changing tools that may shape the future of care. After stepping away from a longtime leadership role at Duke and moving into a smaller practice setting, Adam reflects on career change, identity, and the importance of staying open to growth. The conversation then turns to one of the biggest unresolved questions in anesthesia: does the anesthetic technique used during cancer surgery affect long-term cancer outcomes? Adam discusses why several major research studies were expected to provide clarity, how funding cuts have stalled key randomized controlled trials, and why providers are still left with more questions than answers. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showLevamisole has become one of the most talked-about adjunct therapies for Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM), but should horse owners and practitioners be asking more questions? In this episode, Audrey McLaughlin, RN, MSN, Board-Certified Traditional Naturopath and equine nutrition practitioner, explores how working in both human and equine health reveals important crossover insights. We discuss why some veterinarians use levamisole for EPM, how it may influence the immune system, the recent European withdrawal of human levamisole products following concerns about inflammatory white matter disease, and what that does—and does not—mean for horses. You'll also learn about Th1 immunity, medicinal herbs like astragalus and andrographis, beta-glucans, and why optimizing nutrition and immune resilience may be just as important as immune stimulation. This episode is a balanced, evidence-informed discussion designed to help horse owners and equine professionals ask better questions about EPM treatment—not to replace veterinary care.

In this episode, Christian Burchill, PhD, MSN, Associate Chief Nursing Officer for Research, Evidence-based Practice and Innovation at Penn Medicine and Director of Nursing Research and Evidence-based Practice at Penn Medicine Lancaster General Hospital, shares how his research is helping healthcare organizations better measure staff safety, strengthen reporting, and build safer workplaces through leadership and evidence-based strategies.

"In oncology specifically, where care is complex, artificial intelligence (AI) can really synthesize large volumes of clinical information, flag risks such as treatment complications, and support adherence to evidence-based pathways. For nurses specifically, this enables them more time for direct patient care, clinical judgment, and care coordination, and really practice to the top of their license while reducing repetitive time and administrative tasks," Jenn Frith, DNP, RN, OCN®, NE-BC, associate vice president of clinical operations at Duke Cancer Institute in Durham, NC, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS. Weimer spoke with Frith and Emily Norboge, director of clinical and research informatics at Duke Cancer Institute, about how AI can help healthcare organizations improve the cancer experience.  Music Credit: "Fireflies and Stardust" by Kevin MacLeod Licensed under Creative Commons by Attribution 3.0  Earn 0.5 contact hours of nursing continuing professional development (NCPD) by listening to the full recording and completing an evaluation at courses.ons.org by July 24, 2027.

If a patient needs help with medical paperwork, the agent will walk the patient through how to do that paperwork. If a patient has a question that they need sent to their provider, it can document that and then send a message to the provider. There's a series of workflows so it can route to scheduling. It can answer information about test results that is compliant with our policy around test results. The goal of that agent is that it will handle all of those administrative-type tasks that don't necessarily require a nurse to fill." TS 5:44 Norboge: "When [patients] call the nurse triage line, the nurse will have to say, 'I understand you want your test results. I can contact your provider and have them reach out to you about your results.' But that's kind of where it ends. What we worked out with the agent is if a patient calls and says, 'I really want my test results,' they will in a very nice, standard way, say something similar. You know, 'I'm not authorized to discuss your test results with you, but I'd be happy to send a message to your provider and ask them to call you.' But then the agent goes one step further and says, 'Are you experiencing anxiety about your test results? If so, I can transfer you to the nurse to discuss support for a potential referral to family medical therapy if you would like help managing that anxiety.' In a clear, helpful way, it can define and help a patient with their needs and not just have a standard of 'this is our policy and I can't share it with you.'" TS 11:14 Frith: "Really, transparency is the key. The patient should understand that AI is used more as an enhancement, but not to replace the human connection. That's not the goal. The nurses can explain that the tools will help ensure accuracy, timeliness, and safety while allowing more time for the direct interaction of the nurse. I think framing AI as an additional layer of support rather than a decision maker helps build trust. And I think maintaining strong communication and presence at the bedside just reinforces that care remains fundamentally human." TS 15:32 Frith: "I think AI in oncology is going to continue to advance in our predictive analytics, personal care planning, and probably real-time decision support. I think we'll see a greater integration into symptom management, some early detection of complications, and longitudinal care coordination across our settings. I think nurses will continue to increasingly use AI to anticipate patient needs and prioritize care. I think the role of the nurse won't diminish. Rather, it will become more elevated in allowing them to practice to scope of practice." TS 19:58 Frith: "AI represents a meaningful opportunity to strengthen oncology nursing practice by reducing burden and enhancing the clinical insight. It needs to be a very thoughtful implementation. We talked about having strong governance and continued investment in the nursing workforce. I want to reinforce that oncology care remains deeply human, and AI should only be viewed as a tool that enables the nurses to do what they do best, which I feel is deliver safe, compassionate, and high-quality specialized care to our most vulnerable patients." TS 27:31

What if one of the greatest gifts we can give a baby in the NICU isn't something we give to the baby at all—but something we give to their parents?In this episode of the Empowering NICU Parents Podcast, host Nicole Nyberg, MSN, APRN, NNP-BC, is joined by Lisa Kleinz, MA, CCC-SLP, Director of Education at Dr. Brown's Medical, and former NICU parent Liz Barker for an inspiring conversation about the Infant-Driven Feeding® (IDF) Program and how it transforms the NICU experience for babies, families, and care teams.While feeding is at the center of the discussion, this episode is about so much more than breastfeeding or bottles. Lisa explains how the Infant-Driven Feeding® Program is an evidence-based, family-centered developmental care approach that teaches parents and clinicians to recognize and respond to each baby's unique cues, creating positive feeding experiences while promoting safer feeding practices, stronger parent-infant relationships, and improved outcomes.Liz shares the remarkable story of her daughter, Lucy, who was born at just 28 weeks' gestation. She candidly discusses the fear, guilt, and uncertainty she experienced as a NICU parent, and how one nurse's intentional teaching—supported by a family-centered unit culture—helped her move from feeling like an observer to becoming an active, confident caregiver. By learning Lucy's cues, participating in her care from the very beginning, and focusing on positive feeding experiences rather than volume alone, Liz not only gained confidence as a parent but also went on to exclusively breastfeed Lucy after her discharge from the NICU until she was two years old.Together, Nicole, Lisa, and Liz explore why intentionally educating and including parents from day one is one of the most powerful interventions in neonatal care—and why empowering parents ultimately benefits babies for a lifetime.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why the Infant-Driven Feeding® Program is about much more than feeding• How cue-based, developmental care creates safer feeding experiences• The importance of intentionally educating and empowering NICU parents• Why a shared Infant-Driven Feeding® Program language creates consistency, trust, and parent confidence• Why positive feeding experiences matter more than volume alone• The evidence behind family-centered, cue-based feeding—including improved breastfeeding outcomes, greater parent confidence, and positive developmental outcomes• One family's inspiring journey from uncertainty to confidenceThis episode is sponsored by Dr. Brown's Medical, whose Infant-Driven Feeding® Program is helping NICUs create positive feeding experiences by partnering with families, following each baby's cues, and supporting evidence-based, family-centered developmental care from hospital to home.Dr. Brown's Medical: https://www.drbrownsmedical.com  The Infant-Driven Feeding™ (IDF) Program: https://www.infantdrivenfeeding.com/ Our NICU Roadmap: A Comprehensive NICU Journal: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicujournal/  NICU Mama Hats: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/hats/  NICU Milestone Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicuproducts/  Newborn Holiday Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shop/  Empowering NICU Parents Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shownotes/  Episode 82 Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/episode82  Empowering NICU Parents Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empoweringnicuparents/ Empowering NICU Parents FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringnicuparents  Pinterest Page: https://pin.it/36MJjmHThank you for listening to the Empowering NICU Parents Podcast.

Landing your first nursing job sounds straightforward after graduation—but for many new grads, the reality is far more difficult. In this episode of Nursing Uncharted, host Ann [BG1][CD2]sits down with Stella Leiken, a recent MSN graduate from the University of San Diego's Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN), to talk honestly about what it's really like to enter the nursing workforce for the first time. Stella shares her journey from a psychology degree at UC Santa Barbara to an accelerated MEPN program, completing 192 hours of hands-on NICU preceptorship, and preparing to take the NCLEX. But the conversation quickly turns to something many nursing programs don't prepare you for: the search for that first nursing job. Despite an MSN, a strong clinical record, and glowing recommendations, Stella applied to nearly every NICU in California and was denied by all of them. She opens up about the emotional toll of repeated rejection, the nursing shortage paradox that leaves new grads competing fiercely for a shrinking number of residency spots, and why she made the decision to look out of state rather than settle for a specialty she didn't want. Her story is raw, honest, and relevant for any new grad nurse navigating today's competitive job market. Key Takeaways Don't settle for the wrong specialty. Taking a job in a unit you don't want just to get hired can make transitioning into your dream specialty later even harder. Start applying before you graduate. Some new grad residency programs close months before graduation. Others open applications for only 24 hours with no public notice. Networking matters. Stella secured her NICU preceptorship because she made a strong impression during her leadership rotation. Connections can open doors that applications alone cannot. Broaden your geographic search. If your local market is oversaturated, looking out of state can unlock opportunities and help you grow in unexpected ways. Protect your confidence. Rejection after rejection takes a real toll. Staying focused on your goal and leaning on your support system can make all the difference Chapters 00:00 – Introduction and why this episode is different 01:49 – Stella's background: from UCSB psychology to the USD MEPN program 03:08 – MEPN vs. ABSN: understanding the pathways into nursing 04:25 – The three-week boot camp that kicked off her program 07:54 – How preceptorships work and why specialty selection is so competitive 09:22 – NICU placement and the power of networking for new grad nurses 11:47 – NCLEX prep: how Kaplan and school support set Stella up for success 15:26 – The new grad job hunt begins, and why the timeline catches many off guard 18:37 – The nursing shortage paradox: high demand, fierce competition 19:03 – Applying to every NICU in California and facing rejection 21:10 – Looking out of state: Nashville, Georgia, Colorado, and beyond 26:43 – The emotional reality of repeated rejection 30:08 – Stella's advice: stay confident, don't settle, and go where the opportunity is 35:36 – Closing thoughts and words of encouragement for new grad nurses   Meet Our Guest, Stella Leiken Stella Leiken is a recent MSN graduate from the University of San Diego's Master's Entry Program in Nursing (MEPN). She earned her undergraduate degree in psychology from UC Santa Barbara before working in a private ophthalmology practice, an experience that confirmed nursing as her true calling. Through her MEPN program, Stella completed 192 hours of NICU clinical preceptorship across two semesters, gaining hands-on experience caring for critically ill infants. She is preparing to take the NCLEX and is actively searching for her first nursing role.

In part two of my conversation with Stacey Roberts, PT, RN, MSN, we go even deeper into the world of shockwave therapy for pelvic pain and sexual health. Stacey and I talk about whether shockwave can help with genitourinary syndrome of menopause, how it compares to the MonaLisa Touch, and why some patients need ongoing treatments while others don't. We get into the most controversial pelvic floor topic there is — Kegels — and why prescribing more of them can actually make things worse for people who are too tight, not too weak. Stacey shares real patient stories, including a vaginismus case tied to a traumatic IUD removal, and we spend real time on the mind-body connection: how breathing, the nervous system, and central sensitization shape chronic pain, and how I worked through my own identity as someone "in pain" after years of back issues. We close with where to find Stacey's podcast, book, and how to track down a qualified softwave provider near you.In This Episode:00:00 Welcome Back + Part One Recap00:35 Podcast Intro: Meet Your Host Karen Bigman01:05 Shockwave for Genitourinary Syndrome of Menopause02:45 Shockwave vs. the MonaLisa Touch: What's the Difference04:45 Do You Need Repeat Treatments?

Self-worth isn't just something women struggle with when life falls apart. In today's episode,, Maraya Brown sits down with Amy Lawson, a Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT) practitioner, to explore why so many high-achieving women still wrestle with hidden unworthiness beneath success, perfectionism, people-pleasing, and burnout, and how healing those patterns can lead to deeper self-trust, healthier relationships, and lasting inner peace.   About Amy Lawson Amy Blair Lawson is a Rapid Transformational Therapy practitioner and transformational guide for high‑achieving women who feel like they've done all the things—therapy, coaching, personal development—and still sense that something deeper is holding them back. She specializes in helping women uncover the limiting thoughts and underlying beliefs formed through earlier life experiences, so they can stop repeating old patterns and finally step into their power with clarity, confidence, and self‑trust. Drawing on her own healing journey and years of working with driven, self-aware women, Amy has created powerful programs that support women—especially those in midlife—who are ready to move beyond "I should be over this by now" and into a life that feels emotionally free, self-honoring, and authentically their own.   Website: https://www.amyblairlawson.com Podcast: The Gray Girlfriend's Guide to LIFE Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/GrayGirlfriendsGuideToLife YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GrayGirlfriendsGuideToLife Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/amyblair.lawson     The Women's Vibrancy Accelerator Trifecta: Your 90-Day Health Reset Ready to take your health to the next level?
