Rounding Up Season 1 | Episode 13 – Keep Calm Guest: Nancy Anderson, EdD Mike Wallace: We often ask students to share their strategies. But, what does it look like to uncover and highlight the reasoning that informs that strategy? Today on the podcast, we'll talk with Nancy Anderson, a classroom teacher and professional learning developer, about strategies to elicit the reasoning at the heart of the student's thinking. Welcome to the podcast, Nancy. I am so excited to talk to you today. Nancy Anderson: Thank you. Likewise, Mike. Mike: I'd like to begin with a quote from your article, “Keep Calm and Press for Reasoning.” In it, you state: “Mathematical reasoning describes the process and tools that we use to determine which ideas are true and which are false.” And then you go on to say that “in the context of a class discussion, reasoning includes addressing the strategy's most important ideas and highlighting how those ideas are related.” So, what I'm wondering is, can you talk a little bit about how eliciting a strategy and eliciting reasoning may or may not be different from one another? Nancy: So, when we elicit a strategy, we're largely focused on what the student did to solve the problem. For example, what operations and equations they might have used, what were the steps, and even what tools they might have used. For example, might they have used concrete tools or a number line? Whereas eliciting reasoning focuses on the why behind what they did. Why did they choose a particular strategy or equation? What was it in the problem that signaled that particular equation or that particular operation made sense? And if the strategy included several steps, what told them to go from one step to the next? How did they know that? And then similarly for the tools, what is it in the problem that suggested to them a number line might be an effective strategy to use? And lastly, listening reasoning sort of focuses on putting all those different pieces together so that you talk about those different elements and the rationale behind them in such a way that the people listening are convinced that the strategy is sound. Mike: That's actually really helpful. I found myself thinking about two scenarios that used to play out when I was teaching first grade. One was I had a group of children who were really engaging with the number line to help them think about difference unknown problems. And what it's making me think is, the focus of the conversation wasn't necessarily that they used the number line. And it's like, ‘Why did this particular jump that you're articulating via number line? What is it about the number line that helped you model this big idea or can help make this idea clearer for the other students in the class?' Nancy: Exactly, yes. So, when I think about reasoning, I think about different pieces coming together to form a cohesive explanation that also serves as a bridge to using a particular strategy for one particular problem, [and] as a tool for solving something similar in the future. Mike: So, I have a follow-up question. When teachers are pressing students for their reasoning, what counts as reasoning? What should teachers be listening for? Nancy: Broadly, mathematical reasoning describes the processes and tools that we use to determine which ideas are true and which are false. Because mathematics is based upon logic and reasoning—not a matter of who says it or how loudly they say it or how convincingly they say it, but rather, what are the mathematical truths that undergird what they're saying? That's sort of a broad definition of mathematical reasoning, which I think certainly has its merits. But then I think about the work of teaching, particularly at the elementary level. I think it's helpful to get much more specific. So, when we think about elementary arithmetic, reasoning really focuses on connecting computational strategies to the operations and the principles that lie underneath. So, in the context of a class discussion, when we have a student explain their reasoning, we're really trying to highlight a particular strategy's most important ideas and how those ideas are related, but in such a way that others can listen and say, ‘Oh, I get it. If I were to try the problem again, I do believe that's going to lead to the correct answer.' Or if it was this problem, which is similar, ‘I think I can see how it might make sense for me to use this approach here with these slight adjustments.' So, do you want to take an example? Mike: Yeah, I'd love to. Nancy: So, for example, in a first-grade class, there might be a class discussion about different strategies for adding seven plus eight. And I think in a lot of classes at one point, the teacher would likely want to highlight the fact that you can find that sum using doubles plus one. So, in this particular instance, if a student were to talk about their reasoning, we'd want to encourage that student and certainly help that student talk about the following ideas: the connection between seven plus eight and seven plus seven, and the connection between their answers, namely because the second addend has changed from seven to eight, and noting the connections between the second addend and the answers, namely, if the second addend increases by one, so, too does the sum. And finally, we'd want to emphasize what it is we're doing here. Namely, we are using sums that we know to find sums we don't know. Nancy: So, that's an effective example of what reasoning sounds like in the elementary grades. It's very specific. So even though reasoning is the thing that allows us to move from specific examples to generalizations in elementary mathematics, it's oftentimes by really focusing on what's going on with specific examples Mike: Uh-hm. Nancy: … that students can begin to make those leaps forward. Some of my thinking lately about what I do in the classroom comes from the book ‘Make It Stick,' which talks a lot about learning processes and principles in general. And one of the points that the authors make in the book is that effective learners see important connections, for whatever reasons, sometimes more readily or more quickly than others. So, what I try to do with my teaching then is to say, ‘OK, well how can I help all learners see those relevant and important connections as well?' Mike: Absolutely. So, it really does strike me that there are planning practices that educators could use that might make a press for reasoning more effective. I'm wondering if you could talk about how might an educator plan for pressing for reasoning? Nancy: One thing that I think teachers can do is anticipate, in a very literal sense, what is it that they want students to say as a result of participating in the lesson? So, I think oftentimes we, as classroom teachers, focus on what we want students to learn, i.e., the lesson objective or the essential aim. But that can be a big jump from thinking about that to thinking about the words we literally want to hear come out of student's mouths. So, I think that that's one shift teachers can make to thinking not just about the lesson objective as you'd write on the board, but literally what you want students to say, such that when you walk around and you sort of listen in on small groups, those moments where you say like, ‘Oh yeah, they're on the right track.' And then I think another key shift is thinking more towards specific examples rather than generalizations. Nancy: So, as an example, suppose that in a third- or fourth- or fifth-grade classroom, students were talking about fraction comparison strategies, and the teacher had planned for a lesson where the objective was to determine if a fraction was more or less than a half by using the generalization about all fractions equal to a half. Namely, that the numerator is always half of the denominator. So, that certainly could be something that we might see in, you know, teacher's guide or perhaps in a teacher's planning book. But that's different than what we'd want to hear from students as the lesson progressed. For example, I think the first thing that we'd want to hear as the students we're talking, is a lot of examples, right? The kinds of examples that are going to lead to that key generalization. Like if a student was talking about nine sixteenths, I think we'd want to hear that student reason that nine sixteenths is more than half because half of 16 is eight and nine sixteenths is a little bit more than eight sixteenths. Nancy: And so, what's effective about that kind of planning is that it alerts you to those ideas when you hear them in the room. And it can then help you think about ‘What are the pieces of the explanation that you want to press on.' So, in this case, the key ideas are finding half of the denominator, connecting that value to the fraction that is equivalent to one half, and then comparing that fraction to the actual fraction we're looking at so that we can bring those key ideas to the fore, and the ideas become a strategy for students to use moving forward. Mike: You're making me think about two things kind of simultaneously. The first is, I'm reflecting back on my own practice as a teacher. And at that time, my grade-level team and I, we tried to really enact the whole idea of anticipating student strategies that comes out in ‘The Five Practices' book. But what you're making me wonder about is, we went through, and we said, ‘Here are some of the ways that children might solve this. This is some of the strategies.' The step we didn't take is to say, ‘We know that there are multiple ways that children could attack this or could think about this, but what's the nugget of reasoning? What would we want them to say in conjunction with the strategy that they had so that we were really clear on if a student is counting on to solve this problem, what's the nugget of reasoning that we want to either press on or encourage. If their direct modeling, again, what's the nugget of reasoning that we want to press on. If they're decomposing numbers? Same thing. So, really it makes me think that it's helpful to anticipate what kids might do. But the place that really, like, supercharges that is that thing that you're talking about is, what's the thing that we want them to say that will let us know that they're onto the reasoning behind it? Nancy: Exactly. And I think the conversations you're having or have had with your colleagues reflects where we are with the field generally. I think that the field of mathematics education is at a place where, for the most part, we're on board with the use of discussion as a pedagogy. I don't think that it's a tough sell to convince a lot of folks that students should be spending some amount of time talking. But I don't think that we as a field are nearly as clear on what to do next. And again, as you alluded to with ‘The Five Practices' book, and while I would certainly agree that all of these are important aspects of classroom talk, I think that they skip over this essential idea of pressing for reasoning. Namely, staying with the student beyond just their initial explanation so that their ideas become clear, not just to others, but also clear to them. Mike: I love that. I want to go in a direction that you started to allude to, but you really got to in, in your article. This idea that there's a certain number of questions for follow-up that can really have a tremendous impact on kids. I'm wondering if you could talk a little bit about that. Nancy: My article and more broadly, my interest in press for reasoning, is motivated in large parts, uh, by my professional interest in figuring out, you know, what it is about discussion that makes it such a powerful tool for learning. So, although we have enough empirical evidence to support discussion as an effective pedagogy in math class, we as a field are much less clear in knowing which of the aspects of discussion are most efficacious for learning. What are the mechanisms of student talk that help students learn math more deeply? I had the good fortune many years ago to find some compelling research by Megan Franke and Noreen Webb and their colleagues at UCLA who did some digging into press for reasoning. And through their studies, they have shown that follow-up questions, questions that press students to clarify and strengthen their initial explanation, are associated with students giving more robust and more accurate explanations. Nancy: What their research revealed is that it takes two to three specific follow-up questions in order to either have the student say, more math and more accurate mathematics. So, I think about that so often in my work in the classroom because so often I'll ask a student to explain their reasoning and because they're learning, the explanation comes out either partially correct or partially complete, and I need them to say more. And I might ask them the first follow-up question and either they or I suddenly start to worry. The student might think, ‘Am I saying something wrong? Am I totally off track here? Uh, I'm not really sure why I did what I did.' And then I, of course, as the teacher, I'm so worried about, ‘Am I putting the student on the spot? Am I losing the rest of the class?' And in those moments, I hear myself say, ‘Two to three follow-up questions, two to three follow-up questions,' as a way to remind myself to stay with the student. That if we really do believe that students learn by talking, then it only makes sense that we should expect them to need more than just one turn to get their ideas out in such a way that are clear and accurate to them as well as to the listeners. Mike: So, that's fascinating, Nancy. I think there's two things that stood out from what you said. One is, as a classroom teacher, I appreciate the fact that you acknowledge that feeling of, ‘Am I losing the class?' [It] is something that always exists when you're trying to question and support. But I think the thing that really jumps out is, we have research that says that this actually does have a tremendous impact on kiddos. So even though it might feel counterintuitive, staying with the press for those two to three questions really does have a tremendous impact. I'm wondering what it might sound like to take a student's initial response and then follow up in a way that presses for reasoning. Nancy: So, suppose a fourth-grade class is working on strategies for multi-digit multiplication, and one particular strategy that the teacher would like to emphasize, or showcase, is compensation. Namely, how we can change one or both factors in a multiplication to create an easier computation and then make an adjustment accordingly. For example, we can multiply 19 times 40 by thinking about 20 times 40, and then subtracting 40. Let's suppose that students are working in groups and—on this computation—and the teacher overhears a student talking to their partner about how they use this exact strategy, and briefly checks in with the student and asks, you know, if they'd be willing to share their strategy with the whole class. And the student agrees. So, the teacher calls on the student to tell us, ‘How did you compute 19 times 40?' And the student says, ‘Well, I did 20 times 40 minus 40, and I did that because 20 times 40 is easier.' Nancy: Great. So, we've got some ideas on the table, and so now let's unpack. So, maybe the first question to ask the student is for them to interpret 19 times 40. What does that mean? Literally, it says 19 times 40, but can they give a context? Can they provide an interpretation of that expression with the hope of getting the idea out that we can think of 19 times 40 as 19 groups of 40. And similarly, 20 times 40 as 20 groups of 40. So, once we have the idea of groups of a number out there, can the student tell again why it made sense for them to think of 20 times 40? Why is that easier? Then another follow-up question to ask is, ‘Well, what's the connection between changing that first factor to 20 and subtracting 40?' Because if you think about it, if you're a listener who's unfamiliar with compensation, that's a pretty big leap to go from changing the first factor by one to a second step of subtracting 40. Huh? Mike: It sure is. Nancy: ( laughs ) Right? Like, how does changing it by one mean you subtract 40. And so, here the students can talk about the fact that we found 20 groups of 40, which is one too many groups. So, we compensate by subtracting 40. So, those are some follow-up questions that I think we'd want to ask. Mike: This example just makes so many connections. I'm struck by the fact that, simultaneously, that press for reasoning is helping the child who came up with the idea really build a stronger vocabulary and a justification, and at the same time, it's actually providing access to that strategy for kids who didn't come up with it, who maybe kind of wondering, ‘What? Where did that come from?' So, really it's beneficial for the child who brought the reasoning to the table and to everybody else. The other thing that jumped out is, even in that question where you said, ‘Can you offer this in context?' That's kind of connecting representations, right? Like the child was articulating something that might show up in equation form and asking them to articulate that in a contextual form. [That] is actually a way of challenging their thinking as well. Nancy: Exactly, yes. For many students—and, unfortunately, many more adults—symbols are just that, their symbols. Yet, we who engage in mathematics know that many times symbols are linked to not just one representation, but several, that there's certainly a literal interpretation of any kind of symbol string or numeric expression. But then we can interpret what those expressions mean by connecting back to the different meanings of the operation. So yeah, like you said, Mike, there's two things going on here at least: Helping the other students learn about this particular approach and trusting that it works, but also to helping the original speakers see what it takes to convince others. And in this case, part of that includes the fact that, ‘Oh, when I talk about multiplication, it's helpful to remind people that multiplication refers to putting groups together. Or that it's helpful to think about multiplication in terms of putting equal groups together.' Mike: Well, before we close the podcast, Nancy, I typically ask a question about resources because I suspect for some folks this conversation is one that they've been thinking about for a while. And for other folks, this idea of thinking past strategies toward a reasoning might be a new idea. So, I'm wondering if you'd be willing to share resources that you think would help support people maybe taking this conversation we've had and deepening it. Nancy: Sure. So, my work in this field rests upon the shoulders of many brilliant mathematics educators and some of whom, uh, are people I admire from afar, like Megan Franke and Noreen Webb and their team at UCLA. And still others who I've had the honor to work directly with and learn from, uh, over the past 20 years. And two educators, in particular, are Suzanne Chapin and Cathy O'Connor of Boston University, who are a mathematics educator and applied linguist, respectively. Mike: I adore their work. I'm just going to cut in and say, I'm excited for the resource you're going to share because I've read some of their stuff and it's phenomenal. Nancy: They were kind enough and generous enough when I was very new in the field to invite me to collaborate with them on a book called ‘Talk Moves,' which is essentially a teacher's guide to facilitating productive math talk. Many years ago, Cathy, Suzanne and I worked together on a research project where we were using discussion in elementary math classes in the city of Chelsea, Massachusetts, and we realized that there really wasn't a how-to guide out there for doing this kind of thing. So, from our work together came the book ‘Talk Moves,' which is now in its third edition and includes written vignettes in the book showing composite examples of teachers and students using ‘Talk Moves' to learn more mathematics, but also includes a set of video clips that were filmed in actual math classes with real-life teachers and real-life students using productive talk moves, including press for reasoning, to help students talk about their reasoning and respond to the reasoning of others. It's a very user-friendly guide for people who want to dig more deeply and see what this thing called productive math talk looks like in action. Mike: So, I'll add to your plug. I read that back when I was teaching kindergarten and first grade, and it actually had a huge impact on my practice and just understanding at a granular level what this could look like. Nancy, thank you so much for joining us. It really has been a pleasure talking with you today. Nancy: Oh, it's been a real pleasure for me too, Mike. Thank you so much for having me.

2023 SOCIAL PREDICTIONS: Episode 34 of Red Sky Fuel for Thought podcast What You'll Learn in This Episode:o What's the current state of the social landscape?o Which brands are doing social the right way?o What is most in-demand for brands on social?o What should brand marketers be thinking about in 2023?The world of social media is constantly changing and keeping us on our toes, from year to year and month to month. That means our expertise in social is only as good as our ability to change with the platforms. To that end, Redsters stay obsessively up to date on what's happening and how we can make the most of it for our clients. Our Red Sky Predictions report, which we put out at the top of each year, is one of the ways we demonstrate our evolving expertise in social. In it, we cast several predictions focused on social media, along with guidance about how to best manage the changes ahead. In this episode of our Red Sky Fuel for Thought podcast, host Nancy Anderson brings in two of our global experts on the topic — Redsters Davitha (“Davs”) Tiller and Stuart Hood – to talk about what we can expect for social media in 2023.To start off the conversation, Davs, our EVP of social and integration, gives her overview of what she's seeing happen with social right now.“Over the last year, the social landscape has undergone big and unexpected changes,” says Davs. “From Meta to Twitter, we've seen a major shift away from the ‘go-to' platforms for marketers, with newcomers such as TikTok poised to step in and take over some of that space. And with that, we've seen some exciting changes in behavior and trends.” Stuart Hood, executive director of social and content at Red Havas AU, then chimes in about the growing popularity of TikTok and Instagram for news consumption, referencing our Meaningful Brands study. “People are still looking for entertainment and inspiration on social, but they want to be entertained in many different ways,” says Stuart. “We've found that almost half of all content provided by brands is not meaningful to consumers, and help content is the most desired category from brands today. So, whereas content that rewards or inspires is the most expected, people are really wanting to see that help content which the news agenda is pushing for consumers.” Next, Davs walks through our “Behind the Brand (BTB)” prediction. “Following the pandemic, people-focused storytelling has become a staple in social strategies for brands,” she says. “This trend started with executive visibility and bringing in the CEO perspective but has since expanded to bringing in voices from people on all levels of the organization who are usually behind the scenes. The social landscape has become incredibly competitive, so offering an authentic perspective of what goes on in your business can help to differentiate yourself and break through the noise as a company and as a brand.” The conversation then shifts to brands that are getting it right on social. Stuart lists the following as best-practice brands that take users on a journey of what it's like to be part of them:· The Daily Aus· Lurpak Butter· Red Bull Racing· Bailey Nelson Davs adds to the list with brands she thinks are doing social the right way:· Delta Airlines· IBM· Trader Joe's Next, both of our guests discuss what's most in-demand from their clients regarding their social channels. “Brands are finally starting to look at paid social as part of their always-on organic strategy,” says Stuart. “Many social channels don't provide very good organic reach anymore, so it's been a bit of a battle to convince clients that while great creative is important, you also need to spend some money to ensure that people are seeing your content. But we're seeing a big shift in how brands are becoming more educated in how paid efforts can boost their organic performance and amplify their brand storytelling.” “We are getting an incredible amount of demand for social listening and social intelligence to look at what audiences are talking about, what they're looking for, what they're missing, and then proactively plugging those gaps through content,” says Davs. “We're starting to use social listening in a much more sophisticated way to look at brand reputation, not just on the social side, but holistically from an earned social, paid influencer perspective as well.” “In the last few months, we've had about five different briefs from separate clients come through asking us to develop a social listening strategy,” says Stuart. “Some clients want to understand what people are talking about from a brand point of view and what their competitors are doing, and other clients are asking for a monitoring service to understand what's happening daily. Overall, brands are really starting to tune into what people are saying about them, and they're using data and insights from social listening to help feed into their content strategy.” To close out our discussion, Davs provides advice for brand marketers and communicators on social: “Having a full understanding of the versatility of social is more important than ever. There is nothing across the marketing funnel that social cannot accomplish, whether it's driving awareness, consideration, conversion, advocacy or customer service; it really spans the gamut. Social is a complex channel, so it is vital to invest in specialism. There's more about it to know than ever before, but there's also a lot that can go wrong. If you're a brand that doesn't have an internal point of contact or agency partner that is versed in all things social and can advise how to activate on the latest changes, then now is the time to get amongst it.” Give “Red Sky Fuel for Thought” a listen, and subscribe to the show on iTunes, Spotify or your favorite podcasting app. Don't forget to rate and review to help more people find us!Also mentioned on this episode:· Red Sky Predictions 2023 report· Red Havas Meaningful Brands Study· The Daily Aus· Lurpak Butter· Red Bull Racing· Bailey Nelson· Delta Airlines· IBM· Trader Joe's Follow Red Havas for a daily dose of comms news:· Twitter· Facebook· Instagram· LinkedIn Subscribe:Don't forget to subscribe to the show using your favorite podcasting app.· iTunes· Spotify What did you love?

Can you believe it?? This is our fiftieth episode, and we thank you, dear Crime Family, for supporting us all these months, and for joining us today! This week starts with Bailey telling the story of Nancy Anderson, who wanted to see more of the world, so she left Bay City, Michigan for a new life in Hawaii. She was making friends, had a job, and was excited about her future until she was attacked in her apartment by a killer, whose identity was not known until this year. That's right, this is another occurrence of DNA bringing a very old, very cold case back to justice.Then Beth doesn't have a survivor story. That's right. Sorry, but she found out that a lot of text/social media scammers are actually not doing it out of their own greedy impulses. So after looking more into this, she covers two cases. One is a man who was taken for over $1M in a texting crypto-scam, and the other story is a man who was promised a good job with good pay, but was ultimately kidnapped and trafficked as a texting crypto-scammer. Learn why not all people who are 'butchering pigs', as the scam bosses call it, are necessarily the real problem. And, in this episode we are announcing the winner of the True Crime BnBeanie! Listen to the end for this announcement as well as our well wishes for a happy and fortuitous 2023!

2022 Word of the Year: Ep. 32 of Red Sky Fuel for Thought Podcast What You'll Learn in This Episode:o Why we chose “resilience” as our 2022 Word of the Yearo Other interesting words our survey yieldedo Other 2022 words of the year from institutions around the globe Since 2020, Red Havas has named a global word of the year (WOTY). The selection of this word is informed by quantitative input (via a Havas Group employee survey) and qualitative input (from a mix of global communications pros and thought leaders across the industry). Ultimately, it's identified by an internal team at the agency who considers all words received, not only numerically but thematically. This year, when reviewing the submissions that poured in from every corner of the world, two categories of words stood out to us. One stream was around words related to flexibility, fluidity, adaptability, agility, comeback and change. The second was around our feelings, behaviors and attributes as people. The category with the most “votes” were resilient/resiliency, grit, enduring, tenacious and persevere/perseverance — all of which are aspects of resiliency. Ultimately, we chose resilience as our 2022 Word of the Year. In this month's episode, host Nancy Anderson, VP of social and content, speaks to fellow Redsters James Wright and Ellen Mallernee to discuss our 2022 Word of the Year and dig deeper into some of the other popular and interesting words, both from our survey and from around the world. To kick off our conversation, James Wright, CEO of Red Havas Group and global chairman of the Havas PR Global Collective, talks through our rationale for selecting resilience as our 2022 word of the year. “I think resilience encapsulates 2022 perfectly,” says James. “It's a great word that has a lot of stretch for what's happened to us all in this last year. I love its connection to resilience theory, which looks at how people are affected by things such as adversity, change, loss and risk and how they can adapt and become stronger as a result. So, it has some symmetry to last year's word of the year, which was adapt.” “It's a beautiful word with a backbone,” adds Nancy. “Resilience is not a matter of getting knocked down by a difficult circumstance and then staggering blindly into the next challenge. Rather, it's about gleaning wisdom from those difficult circumstances and getting back up with conviction and confidence.” “Our word of the year really shows that we have been through the wringer, but we're always going to keep trying,” says Ellen Mallernee, VP of content. “Language has the power to help us reframe difficult circumstances in positive ways, so each year we aim to choose a word that has some forward momentum to it. Resilience just feels right.” Next, Ellen walks through some of the other words of the year chosen by institutions from around the world. Some of the ones she touches on include:· Gaslighting, chosen by Merriam Webster, which is the act or practice of grossly misleading someone especially for one's own advantage· Goblin mode, chosen by Oxford English Dictionary, defined as the idea of rejecting societal expectations put upon us in favor of doing whatever one wants to· Permacrisis chosen by Collins English Dictionary, which is a term used to describe the plethora of ongoing crises that nations across the globe are facing· Teal chosen by Australia National University, which is an adjective relating to an independent political candidate or politician who advocates for greater integrity in Parliament and more action on addressing harmful climate change· Smash chosen by DW, an English word popularized among German youth that roughly means to start something with someone, pick someone up, or have sex with someone· Homer chosen by Cambridge Dictionary, which was searched for nearly 75,000 times on the Cambridge Dictionary website during the first week of May when it was a Wordle answer, disgruntling many players whose winning streaks were ended by the unfamiliar American baseball term Within our own survey, we also received some interesting submissions, including words like transmogrify (to change or alter greatly and often with grotesque or humorous effect) and quiet quitting (doing the minimum requirements of one's job and putting in no more time, effort or enthusiasm than absolutely necessary). Each of the panelists then walk through some of their personal WOTY submissions. “Similarly to last year's word, I chose adaptability, which is the quality of being able to adjust or adapt,” says James. “We now live in a constant state of adapting and adjusting the way we work, live, think and educate ourselves. We also must adapt our expectations for current issues, from equality and climate change to war and conflict; from navigating misinformation and disinformation to adapting our approach to business and politics. The art of adaption is a craft we're all learning to master. The world needs a rethink, and we need to be open to modifying every part of our lives to help improve our communities and society.” “It's always tough to identify a word of the year because it requires introspection and retrospection and the ability to examine the collective experience,” says Ellen. “Ultimately, I chose metamorphosis as my word. We've all been through the gauntlet, and this was the year we got to decide how we wanted to emerge from a painful chapter.” “Most people focused on the positive with their chosen words,” adds Nancy about our survey results. “I think that really ties back to our word of the year, as we're forever resilient, always picking ourselves back up, treating hardships as a learning lesson, and marching forward.” Closing out our discussion, our guests reflect on this year's word and look ahead to what 2023 may bring, foreshadowing our annual Red Sky Predictions report that will be releasing in January. “In 2023, I'm hoping for growth as a nation, as a human race, as a community and as an economy,” concludes James. “But I also think there's a word we may or may not be talking about in a year's time: Twitter.” “I hope that next year, our word isn't so much about having to cope,” adds Ellen, rounding out our discussion. “So, while I haven't identified what my ideal word for 2023 would be, I just I hope for good things for all of us. We deserve a break.” Give “Red Sky Fuel for Thought” a listen, and subscribe to the show on iTunes, Spotify or your favorite podcasting app. Don't forget to rate and review to help more people find us!Follow Red Havas for a daily dose of comms news:· Twitter· Facebook· Instagram· LinkedIn Subscribe:Don't forget to subscribe to the show using your favorite podcasting app.· iTunes· Spotify What did you love?

This week, a 77-year-old disgraced ex-lawmaker was arrested for his suspected involvement in the 1972 stabbing death of a newly arrived 19-year-old woman in Hawaii. The Reno Gazette Journal reports that on Tuesday, September 13, authorities arrested Tudor Chirila Jr. in his apartment. He was booked into the Washoe County Jail on a complaint/warrant for being a fugitive from another state. Bandages can be visible on Chirila's neck in his booking shot, indicating that he may have tried suicide prior to his arrest. On January 7, 1972, Nancy Anderson was discovered dead in her Waikiki apartment. The woman had been stabbed "several times and died at the scene," according to the Honolulu Police Department. After decades of inactivity, the Honolulu Police Department requested assistance with DNA analysis from Parabon NanoLabs. A suspect's likeness was then drawn by the lab, and "predictions were produced for the subject's ancestry, eye color, hair color, skin color, freckling, and face shape." Chirila was charged with second-degree murder, and a warrant for his arrest was issued by the Honolulu Police Department. The criminal complaint states that at 5:29 p.m. on January 7, 1972, Honolulu Police officers responded to Anderson's apartment for a "potential suicide." After arriving at the residence, several policemen noticed a "blue and white towel with red stains near the entrance," along with additional probable blood stains and spatter throughout the apartment. Anderson apparently suffered multiple stab wounds to the torso and lower extremities. Anderson's body was reportedly discovered by her roommate Jody Spooner. She had 63 stab wounds, and her death certificate said she died of "hemorrhage due to stab wound of heart." Several suspects' DNA samples were analyzed, but the results came back negative. Chirila "may be a potential suspect in the investigation," Detective Michael Ogawa of the Honolulu Police Department learned in December 2021. He attended the University of Hawaii as a graduate student, and his records suggest that he spent some time in Hawaii around that period. Ogawa contacted a detective from the Reno Police Department in February 2022 to beg for assistance in "covertly collecting a DNA sample from Chirila." According to the press, Reno police "did not have any possibilities to secretly get Chirila's DNA sample," but in March, Ogawa contacted the Newport Beach Police Department in an attempt to obtain a DNA sample from Chirila's biological son. The son gave his assent, and the results showed that the DNA found on a towel inside Anderson's house matched the DNA found on the boy. Ogawa secured a warrant on September 1 to photograph and collect a DNA sample from Chirila. A investigator visited Chirila at her house on September 6 to collect the specimen. According to the warrant, Chirila attempted suicide on September 8. However, he is considered to have a good chance of survival. The court document states that DNA samples collected from the towel found inside Anderson's flat match those of Chirila. The Reno Gazette Journal states that Chirila practiced law in Nevada for a long time. During that time, he served as an assistant attorney general and as an attorney for the city of Reno. In 1994, he attempted but failed to become a justice on the Nevada Supreme Court. Reportedly, he was jailed in the midst of his campaign for failing to pay more than $33,000 in back child support. Prosecutors allegedly withdrew all accusations against him the following year, including those that he had kidnapped his fiancée for the purpose of rape. Chirila was the president of the infamous Mustang Ranch Brothel until he filed a lawsuit against the establishment's owner in 1998, claiming he was wrongfully terminated Apparently, as reported by CBS News After Anderson completed his high school education in Michigan, he uprooted in October 1971 and headed for Hawaii.

USMC Col. Nancy Anderson (ret.) on the history of women in the Marine Corps.
Dr. Anderson shoots on the disservices inflicted on black and brown communities in the U.S. both historically and today and how trust in the healthcare system can be restored in these populations. Intro/outro music by Batata K1ng https://www.batatak1ng.com/home
"COVID-19 rocked the world in a way few other events could. International structures long taken for granted crumbled as nation states struggled to confront this novel virus and the chaos it brought. Everything from supply chains to migration policy to the reliability of scientific institutions came under fire, but no sector has taken more blows than healthcare. Americans were shocked at the sights of U.S. healthcare workers sporting garbage bags in April, 2020 as we learned of personal protective equipment (PPE) shortages. Vaccination itself became a politicized issue as government officials touted or condemned the vaccine based on their party affiliation. New revelations about the National Institutes of Health (NIH)'s funding of gain of function research casts new doubt on the origins of the virus and the implications of future such projects. It's a ton to dissect, and we're gonna need some more hands in the med room for this one. Dr. Nancy Anderson, retired Associate Professor in the Department of Midwifery at Bastyr University joins WorldBeat to discuss her entry into the healthcare industry, the tragic death of her father at the hands of a racist healthcare system, and why black and brown populations are still so gunshy about interacting with American medical institutions.

This episode is basically all Lora Webb Nichols. We'll tell you a bit about her life, a little about her photos, and we'll talk to Nancy Anderson, the woman responsible for saving her collection. And speaking of saving collections, we're covering how places like the Smithsonian preserve their photography archives, and how we can all do a little better in our own archiving. Not only that, but Tiffen Sinclair will be dropping by once again! Oh, and we've got zine reviews. Lora Webb Nichols Lora Webb Nichols received her first camera – a Kodak box – from Bert, her future husband, a month after her 16th birthday.The next day, she took a photo of her mother in the doorway. In turn, her mother took one of Lora, and then one of Lora and Yankee, the cat. “My camera is the best fun” Lora concluded at the end of the roll. From this moment, until her death in 1962, Lora photographed everything, amassing nearly 18,000 photos. We will be sharing more of her photos on social media, but here is a nice collection: You can read more about her, and see more of her photos here: http://www.lorawebbnichols.org/ Basically every single photo she took and collected are available to view at the American Heritage Center archive here. Grand Encampment Museum: https://gemuseum.com/ Nancy Anderson Nancy Anderson lived with Lora Webb Nichols in the early 60s, and now lives in the Lora's old house. It is her we have to thank for preserving the unbelievably huge archive of Lora's 24,000 negatives, including over 18,000 of her own. Nancy specifically mentioned a few photos during the interview. Here are the ones that we could track down: Archive Everything! The Lora Webb Nichols Archive was nearly lost due to a number of factors, but mostly improper preservation methods. So much more has been learned about the proper care and handling of photographic prints, negatives and plates since Lora began shooting in 1899. Even since her death in 1962, we have come up with what seems to be the gold standard of preservation. So let's take a look at how places like the Smithsonian Institute, the Library of Congress and the National Archives are doing this. Obviously we can't maintain their exacting standards, but it's good to at least know what's being done to preserve our photographic history.

We are excited to talk about her episode today because this is something that is actually a first for The VBAC Link. We were just chatting a little bit before. We were like, “Why haven't we had this happen?” because this is totally what we talk about, what we teach about in our courses, and this episode is where she had an emergency C-section, ended up recovering from a really difficult delivery and had very little support. And really, for her next child, when all was said and done, she decided to have a repeat C-section.And I love this. I love this because as The VBAC Link, as Meagan and Julie-- yes, I am talking for you, Julie. We are all about everybody making the best choice for them. That may not be a VBAC. Some people may not choose to have a VBAC. One of my best friends has had three C-sections. The first one was unexpected, two were scheduled. I love and support her in that even though that is not what I chose to do. I chose to VBAC. I support her in that and I am so grateful that she had that opportunity.So we are really excited to dive into this episode today and hear her story. She has done so much good in the world. After her births, she decided to dedicate her focus to helping moms recover fully from their pregnancy and delivery. We are going to talk all about that in the end because she has got some pretty cool stuff that she is in charge of.Review of the WeekMeagan: But of course, we have a Review of the Week before we dive right into it.Julie: All right, yes. The Review of the Week. This is kind of a long one, but I really feel like it goes in line with this episode. I'm going to tell you about how I shamelessly stalked Jesse after this. But this review was actually an email. We got an email from Christina T. We really love getting emails from people who we have helped along the way, and so if you want to reach out to us through Messenger, or email, or Instagram Messages, or leave a review on Apple Podcasts, or Google, or Facebook, or wherever you want. We reply to all of the email messages and DM's that we do get. We love talking to people and hearing their stories. This is a long one, so bear with me, but I really like it. She says: “I wanted to tell you about my repeat C-section. On the podcast, I have heard that term so many times. ‘Hold space.' For me, that's what you ladies have been preparing me for these nine months without me knowing it. For holding space. “For nine months, I prepped for the VBAC of my dreams. I listened to every podcast, was a member of the Facebook group, did ‘all of the things to prepare for the birth I thought I so desperately needed. I was ready to have an unmedicated birth and to roar my baby into this world. At 32 weeks, we found out baby was breech. I had been going to the chiropractor twice a week and felt confident he would flip. He did not flip. I then started to kick on my Spinning Babies®, got acupuncture, did everything online I could come up with and he still would not flip. “Around this time was the week you guys had your repeat C-section podcast and for me, it was a sign to start mentally preparing for what might not be. I spent the next few weeks switching my mindset from feeling sorry for myself and switching it to feeling strong. It was during those weeks I thought to myself, ‘What am I missing? All of this education and research can't have been for nothing.' “That's when it clicked for me. I had been preparing to hold space for what won't be and I have the tools to do that. We scheduled my C-section and when March 8th came, I was as ready as I was going to be. The anesthesiologist came to the room and I knew it was going to be a wonderful experience. Prior to this baby, we had suffered two losses in a row. We needed to have a D&C for the second loss and all day, different staff members asked me to state in my own words what procedure I was having. Each time I would break into tears as it was a very difficult thing.“My doctor came into pre-op and instead of asking the same questions, he simply said, ‘I am sorry you are here for this procedure. Are you doing okay?' The same kind, genuine man was going to be my anesthesiologist now. When I first walked into the OR, my stomach dropped. It was bright, cold, and sterile just like last time. My doctor must have sensed my heightened awareness and said, ‘Your baby is coming.' And with that, I was ready. “We were able to drop the drapes, watch our son come into the world, and have skin-to-skin right away. It was night-and-day from our first experience. It was joyful and blissful, and I left a feeling like a mom and not a patient. I left feeling confident and like a bad-ass. I left holding space for my experience and for our story, and I will be forever grateful for that gift from you ladies. “Birth doesn't always go as planned. Sometimes it is better.”And now, that gives me chills at the end. “Birth doesn't always go as planned. Sometimes it's better.”Meagan: I love that. Sometimes it's better.Julie: I'm going to make that into an image.Meagan: Yes. Let's make that an image and quote her because that same thing. I just got the chills.Julie: I know. I have goosebumps.Meagan: I was like, “Yes.” Sometimes it doesn't go as planned, but it's better. Yeah. I feel like I can connect to that even with my second C-section. I didn't want that second C-section, but guess what? It was such an amazing experience and it healed my first birth experience.Julie: Yeah. I love that.Meagan: I love it. Awesome.Julie: All right. Well, let me tell a little bit of a funny story and then I promise I won't take up much more time. Jesse, we did an Instagram Live with her on her Instagram page.Jesse: It's still there.Julie: Yeah, @movewithtruelove, right? That's what it's called? It was really fun. This was a long time ago. We followed her and I just love her content. She has great content. Super fun. Her reels are amazing. I just love seeing her bright, beautiful face as I scroll through our feed and everything. I just have really enjoyed following along with her Instagram. I knew that she had a Cesarean and that she was pregnant again. I don't even know this whole story, but at some point along the way, Jesse decided that she was going to have a repeat Cesarean instead of attempting a VBAC. I was like, “Oh my gosh. Okay, this is really cool. I need to follow along and see how this all ends up,” because we haven't ever had a story on our podcast about somebody who had decided to have a repeat Cesarean.Meagan: Even though there are tons of people out there.Julie: Even though there are lots of people that do all the time.Meagan: Tons, yeah.Julie: All of our C-section stories--Meagan: In fact, a large chunk of people, the majority do.Julie: Yes. Yes, and we have had three VBAC stories where people have tried for a TOLAC and then ended in a repeat Cesarean, but we have never had somebody that has decided during their pregnancy that a Cesarean was the right way for them to go. And so I was so excited. I am like, “Oh my gosh. I need to follow up with this. I need to make sure she's on my radar,” and then she announced her cute little birth story was on a little reel on her Instagram page. You need to go find it. It is the cutest thing ever. I knew that she had her baby and she had a C-section, and then I was like, “Oh my gosh. I want her to share her story on the podcast, but I don't know if she will be open to it,” because I know, from what I picked up from the reels, it wasn't an easy decision to make. I didn't want to overstep my boundaries. She is super cool and way bigger than us on Instagram. I feel so small and tiny, but one day, I am like, “Okay. I'm just going to reach out, and I'm just going to say how much I love her, and how excited I am that she had a really good birth experience and that I would love to share her story on the podcast if she would like to.” And she said, “Yes.”Jesse: Oh my gosh. I only got good vibes from our last conversation and I literally wanted you guys to do my VBAC. That's what I wanted.Julie: Yeah.Jesse: It was a big change for me. It was definitely a mind shift, but it wasn't as big of a deal as I realized it was once I put it out there on social media.Julie: Well, and I'm sure you got a lot of support. I don't know. Maybe there were some people, but I mean social media. As we are getting bigger, there are people that argue with us and disagree with us all the time. But I just love that you were confident in your decision. You just radiated that security and that confidence. I think that that's what we all want going to birth is just being confident and feeling supported. That's the vibe I got from you when you were talking about it and sharing your birth story and things like that.Julie: Without taking up too much more time, first of all, thank you so much. I'm so excited to have you share your story and to listen to you share about that decision that you made. Then we are going to talk a little bit afterwards about when it might be a good idea to choose a repeat C-section, and then Jesse is going to share some of her really awesome resources.Meagan: Awesome stuff. Yeah.Jesse's storyJulie: Yes. She has lots of really cool stuff. So hang in there with us because this is a really really good story and you want to hear what she has to say at the end. All right, Jesse, you've got it.Jesse: Okay, thanks so much, guys, for having me. I am actually really, really honored to be on your podcast. I had such a good experience chatting with you guys. It felt so, so natural the first time we did it, so it was a very easy “yes” for me.So I guess I will start out with my first C-section which really has paved the way for everything that I am doing now. Really, everything about motherhood has shaped everything that I do now. With my first pregnancy, I was working out really hard. I have been a personal trainer since 2014 specializing in women's fitness. I have taught in multiple states boot camp, and circuit classes, and personal training for abs, and all kinds of stuff, but it wasn't until my own delivery really, because I had a fairly easy pregnancy in respects to working out. I was very active, and so I thought in my head, I had this very clear picture of what my birth story was going to look like. It just seemed really, really easy to picture what it was going to be. I thought if anybody could, this is a really weird thought to have, but if anybody could have a natural birth and if anybody could do it successfully-- it didn't even cross my mind that a C-section could be in my future. Meanwhile, I am the oldest of six kids and my mom has had four kids via C-section. So pretty interesting that I never thought it was going to cross my path.I went Into my delivery, like I said, with a very clear picture of what my birth story was going to look like and it quite literally went the exact opposite. I was in labor for 26 hours. I was bleeding. I got a uterine infection. I had a fever. My placenta was failing. Heart rate was dropping for the baby. They broke my water. I got Pitocin. It was literally my worst nightmare and I was so, so exhausted by the time that my doctor-- well, I couldn't have my midwife anymore who had been with me the entire time. By the end of the 26 hours, I had the OB come in. He was checking me for dilation and I just wasn't dilating. They gave me Pitocin and they broke my water. I think I got to maybe an 8 or a 9 and it just wasn't happening. And then contractions slowed down and I really was so exhausted. He came in. He was checking me for dilation and he asked me to push. I was just so out of it. I didn't even know how to push. I feel like if it's such a medical experience, you go in and you are hooked up to these monitors, it just doesn't feel natural. It feels really really medical.Julie: Yeah.Jesse: Especially when doctors are coming in and nurses are coming in checking your blood pressure, and you've got those monitors, and beeping, and honking, and all of the stuff going on. You don't even know what's actually happening with your own body and then I had an epidural by that point as well, and so you know how an epidural feels. You could kind of feel the contractions coming and going but it's not even close. So your doctor asks you to push and you have no idea what he's talking about. Push what? Most women don't even know what the pelvic floor is and I was one of those women. Before my pregnancy, I was lifting and pushing some heavy weight. I was deadlifting 255. I am a five-foot person. That is a lot of weight for a tiny person and I didn't have the mindset of function.I had one picture of what fit looked like, one picture of what strength looked like, and it was not anything of what strength really is. Motherhood taught me that. He asked me to push and I didn't know what he was talking about. He goes, “Oh. You can't do this. You are going to need a C-section.”Julie: What?Jesse: “It's going to be C-sections from now on.”Meagan: Whoa.Jesse: I laid there completely drugged out of my mind. I look at my husband and tears are just welling up in my face. I could cry just thinking about it. My husband is-- you know, we think that we are the strongest people we know. We love each other so much. He wanted to take that whole experience on himself and it was killing him that he couldn't. He put on a brave face. It is hard for husbands too. They go through this with you and it is so much. He looked at me and he was like, “It's going to be okay. We just have to do what we have to do.” In my head, I am already thinking of the future. I'm like, “What do you mean? All my next pregnancies are going to be a C-section?” I feel like it was the worst possible time to lay that on me and it's just the standard of care. It's just not there for moms. So the OR doctor left. He was assembling his team and the anesthesiologist had to be called in. We are in the middle of nowhere out here in the Oklahoma Panhandle so they have to call the team in. They're not just there waiting for you if something goes wrong. So we are waiting for the team. I am laying there and all I could think was, “I have totally and completely failed before I even got to start. My body has totally failed me and I don't even know. I am supposed to be able to do this. This is what I was made to do and he just told me I can't now and I'm never going to be able to.”That stuck with me forever. And then, we are getting ready for the C-section. I have never had any kind of surgery ever. Never, ever, ever, and so I am terrified. I was already terrified to give birth and now I am terrified to go be cut open. And so they had me hunched over-- oh no, this was after I had my epidural. So they changed it over to where they just have to keep pumping the epidural in, so it wasn't a spinal tap. They put me onto the new table. They strapped me down to the table, which was another thing I didn't expect to happen either. It is all such a mental hurdle to get over. You're like, “Wait. They don't tell you any of this going in.”Julie: Yeah.Jesse: But that just all adds to the mental trauma of, “You have no control in this. We are strapping you down. You are numb. You can't have your baby the way you wanted to. You are getting wheeled out of the room you just got comfortable in. Your husband has to wait out here.” It was hard. It was so hard.And so, anyways. We get rolled into the OR room. Just like your mama said previously in that story you were sharing, it was cold. It was sterile. A bunch of people that you don't know are in there. Your husband is not in there. You get placed onto the table. You get strapped down. You get the blue sheet at your neck and it's an emergency situation because the heart rate is dropping. I had a fever of 103 because they had checked me so many times.Meagan: Wow. Wow.Jesse: I had gotten an infection literally while I was there within 24 hours in my uterus and that's why I was on antibiotics for probably-- I was in the hospital for five days. I was on antibiotics the whole time which, you know. Antibiotics, just the additional medicine. I'm not one to even pop an Advil for a headache, so it was just a lot.So they are doing the surgery. It was all very fast. It was a ton of pressure. A ton of pressure, relief when they took the baby out. They sewed me up pretty quick. Again, I had no idea what was happening afterwards, so they took Radley out and I could hear her screaming. In that moment, it is all totally worth it. It is all worth it because even at the end of your emergency, traumatic, C-section, you still get a baby. The baby that you have been dreaming about for nine months, the baby I've been dreaming about-- for me, it was since I was a teenager. Me and my husband have been together for 12 years, since high school, and we had been talking about our kids forever. So in that moment, I am like, “Oh. I could do it again. I could do it 1000 times the same exact way. I would go through everything the same because at the end of your really shitty experience if it is shitty-- which mine was-- it's still worth it.So they brought the baby over to Shane. Shane just put her on my face because that's the only skin I had accessible. They didn't tell me about skin-to-skin. They didn't drop the curtain. I didn't get to see anything and I felt like I missed out. I felt like I got gypped in my birthing experience, which I did. I think that's okay for moms to feel. I feel like there's so much judgment around feeling what you feel about your birth. I feel like a lot of moms, and myself included-- I didn't talk about my first C-section for a long time and I didn't feel comfortable in sharing the fact that I wasn't just grateful for my baby being alive, but I was really pissed. I was mad about my C-section. I was mad about how I was spoken to. I was mad that I felt like my body had failed me.Nobody made that feel valid for me. Nobody asked how I was really doing. Because after pregnancy, I feel like a lot of moms can attest to this, it stops being about you and it goes all to the baby. You get one check-up postpartum and then that's it. At my six-week check-up, they didn't even check me internally. I got the magic check at six weeks like, “You are good to go to back to whatever you were doing before you got pregnant,” and so I went back to doing those things. I realized quickly that my idea of strength and my idea of being fit was so terribly wrong.I had never felt like more of a stranger in my own body. I got home with this new baby that was beautiful and perfect and I had a brutal recovery from being in labor for so long, and the infection, and all of that, and then recovering from a C-section and major surgery. They don't really explain that to you in the respects that you should be getting rehab postpartum to be rebuilding connections with those muscles, and movement patterns, and muscle recruitment patterns, and all of those things. And so I went into my recovery pretty blind. I realized quickly that moms don't get much support at all through anything postpartum.And then I got really educated and I built courses for moms to rehab their own bodies postpartum, everything that they need. I realized that moms don't need a six-pack, even though if you want one, it's totally possible. What we need to be able to do is sneeze without peeing our pants and nobody could have told me how to do that. There wasn't that information really out there. It was really just Kegels and if Kegels don't work, get a surgery. Another surgery. There's just a lot of room for improvement out there for the standard of care for moms and that's what I get to do now. And so I love that.And then in my interim between my next pregnancy, I had a lot of focus in my mind and talking with my family, and talking to you guys that I wanted to have a VBAC, that I was confident that was just a one-off thing, and that I was going to be able to have a VBAC, and it was going to be successful, and that's what I was going to try for, and all of those things. And then once I actually got pregnant, we did experience one loss after my first baby and we had a miscarriage. I got pregnant pretty quickly afterwards. I was discussing with my husband what we are going to do because you just don't know what you're going to do until you are there.So once I was pregnant and thinking about where we were going to deliver, who was going to do the surgery because the OB that did my C-section the first time didn't live here anymore, which probably was better because this doctor that I got this time is just amazing. And then after I met him, I felt a lot more comfortable with choosing another C-section. After going over my options with him-- which I think is super important. If you want to choose a C-section just because you want to choose one, you have those reasons in your mind about why that is a better choice for you and that should be okay. Those should be valid reasons. But I did ask him some things trying to get his medical opinion on what was the best choice for me even though in my head after I was sitting in the hospital, I was like, “I really don't want to be stuck in the same position that I was last time. I don't want to be in labor for 26 hours to get stuck again and to have to go through another labor, the C-section, and a surgery, and then have to go home and take care of two babies.” And that, in my head, was really important to me to still be able to do everything I needed to do and not have such a tough recovery because I remember my recovery being so, so hard from basically going through two deliveries. The 26 hours of labor and feeling all of that, and then going through my emergency C-section.So when I was talking to him, he basically gave me some options. He did mention uterine rupture. I know the odds are very low, but like I said, we are in the middle of nowhere. He personally had seen some uterine ruptures happen and you just don't know that they are happening until baby's heart rate is dropping and for us, that risk of not having a team on staff because the hospital is so small, that risk of having to call a team just wasn't worth it to me. I had to weigh the options and weigh the risks between a repeat Cesarean, which there are risks and the risks of trying to labor and then ending up in the same position that I was in last time.And so we ended up choosing a repeat Cesarean and I felt really comfortable with that knowing that I was going to be scheduled, knowing that my mom was going to be in town, and being able to watch my other daughter. That was really important to me. My daughter's experience through us being gone because we have never left her with anybody before. I just had a ton of stress surrounding that. Not to say that the second C-section didn't bring me a lot of stress too. I don't know why I had this irrational fear, and moms are really good at this, that I was going to die. I had this irrational fear that I was going to go into surgery and not come out for my toddler.You don't have that fear going into the first one of not getting back to somebody, so that was really hard for me. I was shaking like a leaf laying on the table going in for our scheduled C-section for River, my second daughter. It's funny because just like the mom that you mentioned earlier in the beginning of this show, you can get really lucky with the staff that you have for your experience and I totally lucked out. My anesthesiologist felt like family. It's funny to say because you meet them, and they come in and tell you the risks and stuff for the spinal block and all that, and they talk to you, and you are like, “Gosh, I am so scared but for some reason, you just are calming those nerves.” I think it is so important to have that type of support team. You can just tell this guy had daughters. I went into the OR room. They were in there. I'm leaning over my nurse's shoulder and she is just holding me. They are putting in the spinal tap and they laid me down. Again, you're in there without your husband. The lights are all on, cold, sterile, they are strapping you down, and I just had this fear that I was going to die.They are working and they get her out. I hear her screaming and again, it was the most beautiful noise and sound I had ever heard. They bring her over and in that moment, it was just peace. It was so much peace and again, it was just all worth it. They clean her up and they sewed me up. My doctor was really, really careful with my C-section scar which was really important to me too for adhesions and making sure that everything was sewed up very carefully. They took dad and baby out. I went to recovery and it was probably 30 minutes. I feel like that's something they don't tell moms either that you are going to be in recovery by yourself which is always a little bit sad. It was for me. I had both situations where I was in the recovery room by myself, but the feelings that I had surrounding my second C-section were not failure, were not that my body had failed. I had so much power in the choice that I had to be able to know my outcome and it did heal me from my first experience as well because I mourned that delivery. I mourned that experience that I felt like I missed out on. Even though I didn't get to have a vaginal delivery, I didn't get to have that experience, I still got to experience something beautiful and everybody came out okay.Birth words matterThat's not always the most important thing to bring up to a mom too. She is proud of her baby. She is proud that her baby is happy and healthy, but it is also really, really important to let her feel everything else. I feel like that's what this world needs more of. Instead of-- well, I didn't realize how much judgment there was around choosing a repeat C-section until I put it out there. And I was, oh my gosh. I got shamed so hard by a doula. She told me that I was saying I was too good for labor.Julie: Oh my gosh.Jesse: That labor was beneath me.Meagan: Whoa.Jesse: I thought that this was such a dangerous position for that lady to be in as a women's birth support person and her personal feelings around C-sections to a person that she does not know. She is a mother herself and to shame a mom-- I literally was trying to rationalize in my head during my own time of choosing a C-section that this was really the best thing for me and for my family. We don't have family here in town that can come and take care of our house and our baby, so we needed our family to fly in. That was a really big thing for us. We needed to make sure our toddler was taken care of. That alone could have been my only reason to choose a C-section and it should be okay because I do have other kids to take care of.Regardless, I have my own mental health to take care of and my first experience was crippling. There's nothing like looking at your body after you have this beautiful baby in your arms and thinking, “Gosh. I feel like a failure. I feel like my body failed. I feel like I can't do the one thing a woman is supposed to be able to do. I don't recognize the body that I am in.” I am supposed to be this strong fitness person. I put all this pressure on myself to bounce back. I didn't know how to do that. There's so much pressure. It is so much pressure from not only ourselves because moms do that. Women do that. But especially with social media, it can be a blessing, but it can definitely be a curse with how easy it is to access people and access very vulnerable parts of people's lives. This whole C-section conversation that I have become so passionate about talking about really stemmed from that doula's comment to me because I didn't realize that women were getting so much shame from this. It wasn't until I put my own experience out there that women were like, “You know, yes. That is me. I got shamed by my own mom. I got shamed by my best friend.” People telling me that I didn't really birth my baby. That stings as a mom. Our words quite literally carry weight to the people that we say them to whether it's a stranger, or a friend, or somebody on social media, or somebody in your family, sister-in-law, mother-in-law, all the things. There just has to be more support all around because at the end of the day, we are just moms trying to get home with our healthy baby.Julie: Yes.Jesse: And there's no shame in that no matter how you do it.Meagan: Right. We are honestly-- yeah. A healthy baby and we are wanting to stay healthy, but we are also wanting a good experience for us.Jesse: Yeah.Meagan: When I was choosing to do VBAC, I also got the backlash of, “Just schedule a C-section. Why would you do that? Why would you chance it?” I mean, it goes both ways.Jesse: You just can't win.Meagan: Literally, it doesn't have to be about birth. Vaccines, masks, no masks for COVID--Jesse: Totally.Meagan: No matter what it is, it is this battle. I wish so badly to this day that people could just take a step back, take a deep breath and say, “Okay. I know where I stand. I support where you stand whether it is the same or not.”Jesse: Yeah, totally.Meagan: Because if we could just be validated in our own choice and not be questioned and put down for making the choice that we feel is best, this world would be so much happier and less battley and snarky, right? I chose to VBAC. You chose not to VBAC. Do I think you are any less of a person? Do I think you birthed your baby any less? Hell no. That's the answer.Julie: Meagan just said “hell” on the podcast. It's the first time.Jesse: I was going to say something worse, but I didn't know if that was acceptable.Meagan: I know.Jesse: Yeah, I know. It can get a little raw in motherhood, okay guys? It's pretty crazy. There are a million paths to motherhood and there is no right way or wrong way. It is just your way.Meagan: Exactly.Julie: I love that. There are a million paths to motherhood. Hold on. I need to make some notes for some social media posts later. Hold on.Jesse: Write it down, Julie. It's pretty crazy. We are the largest population. There are so much more that connects us than what divides us. We let those, they are really just subtle and big differences, but we let them divide us. If moms would just come together, like you said, it would just be so much nicer because there is already so much pressure from other moms. We say that we want to support. We said we want to be validated, but it is usually moms that are so vicious to other moms and it's mind-blowing to me.Meagan: Which breaks my heart.Jesse: Yeah. It really is heartbreaking because we have all got the same goal and that is to raise these little people with love. Everybody has a different way to either get to motherhood, because that is a journey all in itself and one to be very cognizant of, again, with the comments. When you are going to have another baby, you really don't know the lengths that either a couple is going to be having to have a second baby or even to have their first baby.Meagan: Exactly, yeah.Jesse: Even a birth experience can really change the way if you want to have another baby or not, and recovery. If you don't feel supported for the first one, it's going to be really hard to feel supported in the second one unless something changes. I think that's what we in this field are trying to do. We are trying to change that. We are trying to change and raise the standard of care for moms because we are the population that raises the next generation, that keeps the world going. If you help moms, you help the future and that's what we are trying to do. That's what every mom deserves.Meagan: Wow. Yeah. I'm going to roll back even to what your provider said. He was like, “Oh, you're going to have to have a C-section because you're not doing this and you're always going to have to have a C-section.” My doctor said, “You were going to for sure rupture. I'm glad you didn't do it.” Right? Those things stick with us and they impact us, and they do impact the decisions that we make and the ways that we view things. This is totally not a sponsor of ours, but Sarah Pixton has a podcast called Birth Words. It is called Birth Words: Language For a Better Birth and just like you have been talking about, these words stick with us. Even though you, as a person, may be sharing something with someone based off of how you feel or whatever, remember that that might stick with them and impact them substantially in either a positive or a negative way. And so when we as people are speaking, we need to be aware of what we are saying, how we are saying it, who we are saying it to and be respectful of everybody's decisions, and choices, and views, and like you said, what they have been through. There are a lot of people with infertility stuff who don't even talk about it because they don't feel like they can.Jesse: Yeah. Everything pretty much about motherhood, I feel like, if you don't feel like you're going to be supported, you're not going to share, and then that creates a situation where you are not going to reach out to the right people and get the support that you need--Meagan: Right.Jesse: -- which creates more unsupported moms, which creates more chances of not getting the experience you wanted because you didn't have the knowledge, and the information, and the support that you needed to possibly have the situation that you wanted to happen actually happen for you. I feel like like you said with the words that he said to me, that pushed me into this prideful position of, “Okay. I am for sure having a VBAC next time.” You know? Like, “I'm going to show you I can have a VBAC.” And then once I got there, I was like, “I don't know.”Meagan: That's actually not what I want.Jesse: That's not actually-- I don't really want to try this again because of this, this, and this. Part of that was the mental space it put me in, the mental position that I put my husband in. It's just, and now we have another baby to take care of, so that was something else to take into consideration. So yeah. Your words carry weight, so be mindful of them even if you are a stranger.Meagan: Yeah. And remember there doesn't always have to be a “because”.Jesse: Yeah.Julie: Yes.Meagan: You don't always have to say, “Well, because this.“Julie: And you don't have to justify it.Meagan: “Well, because I want it because this or I don't want to because of this.” There doesn't have to be a “because”. Because is because. Do you know what I mean?Jesse: Right.Meagan: That is the reason and it's okay and you're confident in that. So yeah. I feel like a lot of people feel like they have to defend their reasons and it's like, no. You shouldn't have to defend your reason. If you're making a choice that is best for you, that's all that matters. That's all that matters.Jesse: Yeah. If you make a mom question her decisions, question her parenthood, question her ability or reasons as a mom, that's not support. That's not advice. It's just mean. It's just mean and it's unwanted, unsolicited, not advice, but just unsolicited speaking.Meagan: I love it.Jesse: Yeah. Moms need support.Maternal mental healthJulie: Yeah. It's important. Well and not only that, but I want to take it off on a little tangent. We have a serious maternal mental health crisis in our country, especially for women one to two years postpartum. When we create this environment where women are scared to share their feelings because they feel judged and they see these comments flying around on social media or wherever about which way is the right way to give birth or all those different things, it makes them more afraid to show their feelings. It also makes them feel like their feelings are wrong. When you are in a mental state where you feel guilty about your thoughts and you feel like you can't share them without being judged, then they are going to sit inside your head and your mind, and fester, and grow.It can lead to really long-term complications. I think we all know that mental health affects our physical health as well, and so we are having moms that are literally getting sick because they are not supported in their decisions. I am sure you have seen this too, Jesse. You have a big social media presence. Our social media presence is getting bigger all the time. I find the bigger that we get the more we get these people that seem like they just want to argue with whatever we say, or they take one little thing and pick it apart, right? I know I have texted Meagan a couple of times because I have anxiety over here. I'm working on it, but sometimes some things really upset me. I will text Meagan and I will be like, “What do you think about this?” Meagan calms me down and lets me know that there are 500 positive comments and one negative one.Jesse: Right.Julie: But I really still even get worked up about those types of things. It's something that I have to actively work on and I'm still learning coping strategies and stuff for, but my anxiety did not start until after I had my VBAC baby which is really interesting because I had what I would describe as a perfect, textbook VBAC. It was a perfect birth and everything was as I wanted it to be, and I had really severe postpartum depression and postpartum anxiety. It was my worst mental health after any of my pregnancies. I had this beautiful birth, but I had all of these expectations I set myself up as a mother based on what other people thought and what I perceived to be the right way to be a mom. And because I could not fit this mold that I had set for myself and because I felt like I didn't have a group of people I could talk to because all of my people were in this little mold, or so I thought, right? I kept it inside and it really did a lot of damage to my mental health. I know I'm not the only one that feels like that. That's why we share stories from all different types of people in all different types of births, in all different types of decisions, from all over the world even, because we want people to know that they are not alone. It's always okay to share your feelings. It is always okay to get help and it's never okay to judge somebody else based on their decision. It's never okay.Jesse: Yeah. I can totally relate to the comment stuff. I honestly can't even go to my comments. I've got a really strong group of moms here and, like you said, it's usually not even from people that are following you. They're not even coming to your page because they like your content.Julie: Oh yeah. They see one post.Jesse: Yeah. They're not coming because they like you. They're coming because you're triggering them. Because the people that I do see, I end up blocking them because I don't want anything negative that they say to affect a mom on my page.Julie: We do that too.Jesse: Or to read the comments or see it, so I will block them. But they are not even following me and I find it so intriguing, like, “Why are you here?”Julie: Yes.Jesse: Why are you here? What are you looking to get? It's usually because just they don't feel supported in their choices in their life, so they are attacking you for your choices or whatever. But yeah. The comment section is a dangerous place to be especially if the post has been up for a while. So every once in a while, I will go back and then I'm like, “Why did I do that?” Because you know? It's just toxic. But I think if I had one piece of advice for a new mom, it would be just to not read every book, not ask everybody what they did because moms have an intuition and they just need to feed into that a little bit more. Just trust your gut. If you have got a stomachache about something, it's your second brain trying to be like, “Your first brain is not listening to you. I am going to make you throw up over it and I'm telling you, something is wrong here. Something is not right.” If it doesn't sit well with you, the mom, you get to be the deciding factor and if somebody is giving you advice and it doesn't feel quite right, it's not good advice for you.Meagan: For you. Yes, exactly.Jesse: For you, yeah. And that's exactly it. Just because you're getting advice from your mom, just because you're getting advice from your best friend who also has a kid, you're probably also going to get advice from your friend that doesn't have a kid that's imagining how they would be as a parent-- which that always is great-- just because you're getting all that advice, it doesn't mean it is the right advice for you, and your situation, and your kids, and you as a mom. So my advice is to take what you need and ditch what you don't. If you like something that somebody is doing if you like something that your mom told you, or your friend, or your grandma, or whoever, take it. And if the other parts of it don't align with your vision of how you see yourself being a mom, or how you plan on birthing kids or all of the things, just ditch that. It is going to feel so much better if you have that confidence to just put your foot down and be like, “No. I am the mom. This is how it's going to be.” I feel like we need to support moms in those decisions also. Because for some reason, we feel like, “I don't want to be rude, so I'm just going to let this happen.” But it's either your feelings or their feelings and I don't think the mom should have to sacrifice her feelings around her kids, around her birth experience, around everything else because, at the end of the day, it's your experience. It's your journey. It looks a little bit different for everybody else.Julie: And if you see some content on social media that you don't agree with, just scroll along. It's okay.Jesse: You do not have to comment. You don't. I promise. I promise you don't have to leave your opinion.Julie: Well, we hate to cut it off short. I feel like this is something we could talk about forever. But I did want to say that sometimes it is a hard thing to decide whether to try for a vaginal birth after a Cesarean or to schedule a repeat Cesarean. Neither choice is a bad choice, but we did write a blog about how to decide if an elective C-section is best for you and your baby. Jesse, you said, “Don't read all the books,” but you can read this one blog. We are going to drop a link for that blog in our bio or you can just go to our website, to thevbaclink.com, and just search for “elective C-section” and it will be a link there. It will list medical reasons for repeat C-sections and also reasons why people might choose to have an elective Cesarean. There is no right answer for you and like Jesse said, there are a million ways to motherhood.Meagan: There's no wrong answer.Move with TrueloveJulie: There's no wrong answer. But before we go, we do want Jesse to share a little bit more about some of the stuff that she does and how you can find and follow her, because we know you love her by now just as much as we do.Jesse: Aw, thanks, guys.Meagan: Well, and I think that this information that you are going to share is so powerful because it really isn't paid attention to enough. So tell us all about what you have got your toes and hands dipped into.Jesse: Okay, perfect. Yeah, so I have got my own page. It's Move with Truelove. You guys got plugged into that at the beginning of this, but I am also very deeply connected to Nancy Anderson and if you are in the prenatal/postpartum field or realm or if you are a mom, you need to know what we are doing over here. So I am the Program Director and Head Coach for the Move Your Bump app and that is our prenatal and postnatal fitness and nutrition app. We've got over 400 on-demand coached follow-along workouts of every style, every fitness level. We have got multiple, multiple expert coaches that always have your bump in mind. We focus on minimizing excessive diastasis which is the ab separation, which became this really hot topic on social media, but there are about a thousand ways you can get it. We really focus on the prevention of that during pregnancy to help you have a more comfortable pregnancy, but more importantly, we are training you for labor because it is the hardest workout of your life. Whether you are a vaginal delivery mom or a C-section mom, it is going to be a fight and you want to make sure that you are training properly.We also prepare you for a faster recovery and we do that through the Move Your Bump app through workouts, through breathwork routines, through focusing on posture, troubleshooting issues that we see most commonly in prenatal mamas. We also have challenges throughout our app with private Facebook group communities, with thousands of other moms throughout the world that are connected through their sharing bump pics and checking in for progress, and then also the ability to win prizes there. So it is super fun.Meagan: And there's something starting on the third, right? You guys are doing a challenge starting on the third. Is that right?Jesse: Yes. Yeah. We have a bump challenge.Julie: The third of what?Meagan: It's the third of May.Jesse: Of May.Julie: Well, this episode isn't going to air until June.Meagan: But do you do those often?Jesse: We do. We do them every single month, the first Monday of every month. We do multiple challenges. We have a Before Your Bump challenge, which is our trying-to-conceive challenge and we have got all kinds of information on stress management, fertility, hormones, nutrition to optimize your fertility, as well as fitness. We want to make sure that we are staying nice and strong and focusing on the things that are most important to not only support a pregnancy but also recover from your delivery.We also do through the Birth Recovery Center, which is our umbrella company that is going to be having multiple courses including things like sleep support, lactation consultants, mental health, all kinds of stuff that moms are going to need through their journey. So the hero product there is the AB Rehab course. That's our 12-week postpartum recovery course. It helps you to recover and heal fully from your delivery whether you are a C-section mom or a vaginal mom, whether you delivered 10 weeks, 10 months, or 10 years ago. This program is basically for everybody with a pelvic floor, so that's everybody.We focus on the foundational work, on the reasons why diastasis happens in the first place. Pregnancy is definitely something to recover from as well as your delivery because so much is changing in such a short amount of time. Birth is basically a lot of trauma to the body which takes a lot of rehab and a lot of specific coaching, specific protocols to make sure that we are addressing everything that happens during pregnancy and during delivery. So we will focus on postural imbalances, posture habits that happen during pregnancy, and then even pre-pregnancy, probably a lot of these muscle imbalances you have had before you were even pregnant. Pregnancy just has a really good job of showing us where our weaknesses are because we are trying to support a big bump growing out in front of us and our balance changes. Pressure changes, so imbalance, and muscle weaknesses, and compensations tend to really present themselves in the forefront during pregnancy and then stick around postpartum if we are not actively working to correct them. So through the 12-week course, we focus on posture. We focus on breathing patterns which are huge. We focus on the pelvic floor, not only function but the ability to connect with the pelvic floor and lower abs, which we really don't have a lot of access to during pregnancy if you are not actively working to keep that connection. That's why a lot of moms are left with a lower belly pooch or feeling like you can never really turn on your lower abs. That's muscle dysfunction.We have thousands of moms. We probably have about 5-8000 moms join our course every single month, every single challenge. We coach all of them through video communication, through our course, through video assessments. We have a whole entire team of course specialists that help customize the 12-week course to specific needs because like we said, there are a million roads to motherhood, there are a million roads to recovery too and that can't be done with a one-size-fits-all course, which is why we are so passionate about the ability to customize this course with troubleshooting videos if you have a hypertonic or hypotonic pelvic floor or whether you have developed prolapse. There's a lot of things that are happening postpartum and we address a lot of them. We also have an in-house DPT on our staff who can work to coach you through some more difficult things that need a higher level of expertise. So we really are just helping to raise the standard of care for moms postpartum. Moms deserve all of the support and it really does take a village to do that, and so that is why we have got our hands in all the cookie jars with lactation, and sleep, and birth path, and mental health, and of course, our 12-week AB Rehab, as well as nutrition. We have a little bit of everything and we are working to be the top providers for that since we are already doing that with AB Rehab.Meagan: Love it.Jesse: Yeah. We are really proud of it.Meagan: Oh my gosh. So much goodness in there. So awesome. Oh, well thank you so much for sharing your story, and your wisdom, and, obviously, that awesome course, courses. So we really appreciate you. We love your face and we just can't wait to continue our relationship.Jesse: Right back at ya. Thank you so much for having me.Julie: Absolutely.

Whether they like it or not, brands today have a maelstrom of problems to reckon with: a pandemic, protests for racial justice, a presidential election. Our roundtable of top creative agency execs discuss how these events have transformed consumer expectations. We also talk to WEX's Tiffany Wirth, an SVP in healthcare marketing, about the pandemic's silver lining and prioritizing your shuteye. Show Notes This week holds several firsts for Red Havas' brand-new podcast: It marks our debut on Apple, Spotify, Google and all your favorite podcast hosting sites; our first roundtable discussion; and the first time we're providing these podcast show notes to guide your listening experience. Cohosted by Red Havas' Nancy Anderson and Georgina Thompson, this podcast represents a truly global effort to bring you the latest insights, brightest thinking and emerging trends in communications from the industry trendsetters themselves. Trends Brief: A roundtable discussion [01:20] First comes a roundtable discussion led by Red Havas Executive Vice President Linda Descano, CFA® who extends some poignant questions to our guests about how brands are navigating shifting expectations magnified by the COVID-19 pandemic, recent protests and America's highly charged political environment. Roundtable guests include: James Wright, CEO of Red Havas and global chairman of the Havas PR Global Collective Maria Garrido, senior vice president of brand marketing in the Vivendi Village, and chief insights officer of the Havas Group Sarah Knakmuhs, managing director and head of theWashingtonD.C. office of Abernathy MacGregor Together, they discuss how consumers want to buy from brands who share their values, and why they often hold retail, finance, travel and tourism brands to higher standards. The role of employees as brand ambassadors is also explored, as is the call for companies and CEOs to act as agents of change in lieu of strong government action. The Red Questionnaire: WEX's Tiffany Wirth [26:08] We close every episode with "The Red Questionnaire," asking the same questions of our guests to better understand how they operate and what inspires them: What was your first job? Early riser or burn the midnight oil? How many stamps in your passport? Your favorite social media follow (and why) The headline grabbing your attention-If we read up on anything this month, it should bewhat,and why. Clichés are clichés for a reason: what's your favorite? What's your message of encouragement and enlightenment? Our guest this month is Tiffany Wirth, who is senior vice president of healthcare marketing at WEX. She tells us about her favorite social media platforms and handles, what media she's reading and consuming every day, and what she tells her children about how following their passion will lead them to the career they need to be in. We close each Red Questionnaire segment with some words of encouragement or motivation that send you off into the world ready to take on the day. Says Tiffany, "The last six months have given me the time to recenter and connect with my family and what's important to me. [The pandemic] has been a great opportunity for all of us to really slow down. We were all overscheduled, crazy busy, traveling, doing all these things that were super fun and engaging, but ... now we've been able to stop and reflect. And this is an opportunity we likely will never again get in our lifetime." Episode quotes "Boardrooms real and virtual have become war rooms as brands had to decide how to keep the wheels turning [and] how to stay aligned with their ideals around purpose during a super political polarized time, particularly in the United States." -Linda Descano, CFA®, executive vice president, Red Havas "Even before COVID-19, we know that that a lot of political uncertainty around the world was leading people to say that companies have a more important role than governments in creating a better future and helping solve societal and environmental problems. What we've seen happen this year is just an acceleration of trends that were already there." -Maria Garrido, senior vice president of brand marketing in the Vivendi Village, and chief insights officer of the Havas Group "The biggest watchout for brands right now is to make sure they're being authentic, and their actions are matching their words. The worst thing that brands can [do is] come out right now and say, 'We care about this, we're doing something about this,' and not actually be doing it, doing a one-off contribution, or a one-off meeting with employees, and really making sure they're connecting with each of those stakeholder groups." -Sarah Knakmuhs, managing director and head of the Washington D.C. office of Abernathy MacGregor "The decisions you make today, think about your grandchildren as being key stakeholder of that decision. You know, will it benefit them and their generation? Will they be proud of the decisions that you made today? And I think if you think about that, through that lens, I think that you will make smarter choices and decisions, and not just ones that get you through in the short term, but ones that also will set you up for a sustainable and successful future." -James Wright, CEO of Red Havas and global chairman of the Havas PR Global Collective "The critical piece of advice I always give younger teenagers, including my own, is you just have to get out there and do something to understand where your passion lies. And from there, everything will sort of fall into place." -Tiffany Wirth, senior vice president of healthcare marketing at WEX. What did you love? What would you like to hear about next?

This episode is only for those of you who have been in acting for a little while - for those of you just starting out - thanks for listening, but I'll talk to you next time. :) Now that it's just us - I wanted to share with you my story on transitioning from an acting career to the office world. If you're thinking of doing the same thing, or just looking for something a little more stable, maybe you'd be interested in learning from my story: In 2007 I was fortunate enough to perform in White Christmas at The Denver Center. Dream housing, dream location, dream show, amazing city, but I was unhappy. Even the perfect dressing room partner! I asked myself, if that wasn't cutting it, what will? Next, I was in A Day In Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine and Nancy Anderson was my dressing room partner. *(correction from my podcast - she got an Olivier Award nomination for Kiss Me Kate, not the award). She gave me some great insight into the business, as well. My background was: When I was 16, I auditioned at Paramount’s Kings Island. I didn’t get in the show, but I became an usher and worked a few hours as an admin. Then in college I was an intern at The White House. When I moved to NYC, I found out about temp jobs from a friend. I started temping and I liked it! I liked the office world. Then I discovered “temp to perm.” This means you work as a temp with the eventual possibility of staying on permanently. It’s great to do this with long-term temp gigs, like if someone has a maternity leave. There’s also nothing like on-the-job training that you get from temping with a company long-term. From then, I decided I wanted to temp to perm and go full time in my career. I interviewed for a position and got the job. This job let me work with "the street" and it was fascinating! Eventually, they eliminated my position. I was six months pregnant, so I stayed home for a year before I went back to work. Keep in mind: IT’S NOT A STRAIGHT LINE. It’s that way for acting, and it’s that way for business. You just don't have to be an admin, you can work in different departments: social media, graphic design or customer service. Human Resources is great for actors, too! (If you want financial stability, go into finance for the bonus system.) But, I recommend getting experience temping with recruiters. Recruiters get feedback from your employers, and you can use that feedback to improve. Here are some good temp companies: * Beacon Hill Staffing Group * Green Key Resources * Atrium Staffing (click here to get my Survival Job cheat sheet with contact details for the temp agents) Keep in mind, however: the business world is different. Attitude is very important. Actors are adept at this: resilience, improv, friendly, outgoing. Confidentiality, integrity. Office parties: You are there as an employee, and it’s different from theatre opening night parties. In theatre, we live and work with these people and our lives are all out there. In an office, it’s not like that. Put on your best manners. In a new career you are starting from the ground up, like getting your Equity card again. For me, I just wanted to use my brain in a different way, I couldn't handle the monotony of 8 shows a week. At the beginning of my office career, I had to stock sodas, grab lunches, and do filing all day. It’s not glamorous, but you have to start somewhere. Don’t complain - people might call you out! If you can’t be trusted to label a file folder, how can you be trusted with a legal case? Keep in mind the atmosphere is more buttoned up. You can’t talk as freely about your weekend, your political beliefs, things you’d talk about with friends. But the benefits are fantastic: stability, health insurance, 401k and a company match (usually). Think about retirement! Start now. You can’t make up for time. As hard as it was to start all over in the beginning, I felt like I fit in better in the office world, and it was totally worth it in the end. Plus, having this podcast is my way of staying connected to the theatre world and sharing my experiences with others, so it's a way for me to have a bit of both worlds. I hope you can take something away from my experience and I'm eager to hear what questions you have. Email me at SurvivalJobs (at) gmail.com Thanks so much for listening! Best regards, Michelle P.S.

Special Episode #1: When I decided I wanted to use "Man in the Moon" for a *special* podcast episode, it came to me in about a millisecond who HAD to sing it: Nancy Anderson. Not only because she's an amazing talent and friend, but also because no one captures the sound of the 20's and 30's like Nancy. Check out her wonderful new solo CD, Ten Cents a Dance, for conclusive proof.Nancy and I met in 2001, performing together in the Broadway production of A Class Act, where she was my "show girlfriend." Nancy created the role of "Mona" in the Manhattan Theatre Club production and subsequently made her Broadway debut in that role when the show moved to the Ambassador. She had already created a sensation Off-Broadway in Jolson & Company, which earned her her first Drama Desk nomination.Since then, she has been dazzling audiences with her many stellar performances, most notably as Lois/Bianca in the revival of Kiss Me, Kate, first on the US Tour and then in the West End production, which was later filmed for PBS. (Does she nail the period or what?) Don't forget her wonderful performance in the 2003 revival of Wonderful Town! (Period!!) This past season, at the York Theatre, she won over critics and audiences alike in the title role of Fanny Hill. (She even nailed the 18th Century, as well as a second Drama Desk Nom!)If you're wondering whether she can pull off a contemporary role (yes!), then you must have missed her hot, hot performance in this year's Off-Broadway play, Burleigh Grime$.In this episode, Nancy sings "Man in the Moon", an audition spec song I wrote this summer. (What this means is, when producers are considering several different people or teams to write their new show, sometimes they'll ask them all to write songs for that project as part of the audition process.) The project in question takes place around 1930, and that's about as specific as I can be right now. (Recorded 11/3/06.)Luckily, you'll have some opportunities to see and hear Nancy coming up! Foremost among her many November appearances is her engagement at The Metropolitan Room, two Tuesday night shows, November 14 and November 28, at 9:30 PM. Not to be missed!And speaking of other things not to miss, I'd also like to remind you about the Jeff Blumenkrantz Songbook Concert at Birdland on Monday, November 20th at 7PM, featuring Liz Callaway, Victoria Clark, Michael McElroy, Mary Testa, and Alysha Umphress!
