Welcome to another episode of the Building Your Money Machine Show! Today, I'm pulling back the curtain on one of the questions I get asked the most: If the dollar keeps losing value, is saving money even worth it anymore?With all the media chatter about inflation and the dollar weakening, it's easy to feel like putting money in a savings account is about as useful as trying to fill a leaky bucket. Cash feels safe, but it seems like it's just quietly melting away right under us. Should you bother to save at all—or is there a better way to protect your financial future?In this episode, I break down what's really happening to the dollar, unravel the truth about inflation, and explain why saving alone will never build the wealth or the financial security you want. I talk about the real role of savings (and it's not what most people think!), how to protect your emergency fund, and why owning assets is the only way to outpace inflation and achieve financial freedom.IN TODAY'S EPISODE, I DISCUSS:Why cash and savings accounts aren't investmentsThe effects of long-term inflationHow to calculate how much emergency savings is enoughThe difference between protecting your wealth and actually building wealthWhich investments historically beat inflationHow to “bucket” your money for short-, mid-, and long-term needsThe step-by-step plan to balance safety and growthThe single action step to take within the next 48 hours to move your financial future forwardRECOMMENDED EPISODES FOR YOUIf you liked this episode, click here to enjoy these and more:https://melabraham.com/show/7 Smart Habits of Quiet Millionaires7 Reasons Why The Wealthy NEVER Trade Time For MoneyThe Truth About Net Worth: Are You Rich or Poor?The Financial Industry's Biggest Lie About Compound Interest1970s Money Habits Not Taught Today...

Send us a textThis week's episode was inspired by a DM that slid into my inbox: “Is long-form content still important?” And look, I get it. The internet is full of opinions — and half of them contradict each other.Once upon a time, we were all told to write 1,500-word blogs stuffed with keywords like it was our full-time job. Now? It's all TikToks, AI, and short-form everything. So… do we just throw the blog out with the bathwater?Spoiler: it's not that simple. (Of course it's not.)In this episode, I'm breaking down:Why long-form still matters (but not for everyone)The history of long-form content and SEOWhy there's no one-size-fits-all strategy Why letting ChatGPT write your blogs might be tanking your brand How to figure out if it's right for your business & Alternatives if writing blogs isn't your thing Why video isn't automatically “king” (don't hate me) How to repurpose long-form so it's actually useful in a multi-channel strategyBalancing your own strengths with what your business actually needsThe value of working with an SEO expert before making big decisionsPlus - the truth about “multi-channel strategy” and why you don't need to be everywhere, all the time, doing all the things.Whether you love writing or would rather eat your laptop than draft another blog post or long email, this episode will help you figure out how to show up in a way that actually works for you.Have a listen and let's stop following cookie-cutter advice that wasn't built for your business in the first place.One Key Takeaway Your content strategy should be based on your goals, your industry, and how you like to show up. Long-form isn't dead - it just needs to make sense for you.DOWNLOAD MY CONTENT PLANNER - https://becchappell.com.au/content-planner/Instagram @bec_chappellLinkedIn – Bec Chappell If you're ready to work together, I'm ready to work with you and your team.How to work with me:1.

Send us a textHow to return to self-care and self-kindness when you're strugglingWhat's in This EpisodeYou're not failing at self-care; you're navigating something unprecedented. As we hit the end of July (yes, summer is flying by!), it's the perfect time to remember how to come back to taking care of yourself when you feel like you've been struggling.Drawing from Dr. Julie Smith's book "Open When," this episode draws parallels between modern parenting and practicing medicine in 2025. Here's what you need to remember when you're feeling overwhelmed:The Truth About What You're FacingYou are the first generation of physicians working with full knowledge of medicine's harm to your health. Just like parents today are the first to actively parent with awareness of emotional well-being, you're practicing medicine while explicitly knowing about:Physician burnout (which exploded as a topic in the last 10-15 years)The impossible math: The average primary care physician needs 26.7 hours per day to meet all patient needsThe reality that your health suffers while you help others healThe systemic toxicity that comes with healthcare workThis knowledge didn't exist in previous generations of physicians. You're not supposed to have all the answers because there is no single right answer.Why You Feel Disconnected (Even When Surrounded by People)You're living in the most connected yet disconnected time in history. Being around people all day—patients, staff, colleagues—isn't the same as being emotionally connected to them. Your relational needs aren't being met just because you're never alone.Start reconnecting with people you love first. Reach out to friends, family, your partner, your children—even your pets. Practice being present with them before trying to feel more connected at work.The Boundary Reality CheckBoundaries are an inside job. They can't come from the outside, and they will bump up against external expectations. People expect you to be an autonomous robot without needs—but that has never served you well.You cannot resolve everyone else's unrealistic expectations before you start taking care of yourself. That's a complete setup. You must set boundaries to continue doing the work you're called to do, because you cannot sustain this without rest and self-care.The Ripple Effect of Self-CareWhen you take care of yourself, you bring your best self to your patients and work environment. If you believe your mistakes cause lasting damage, you must also acknowledge that everything you do to prevent those mistakes brings lasting positives to your medical career.Remember This When You're StrugglingYou're navigating challenges that didn't exist for previous generations of physiciansYou don't have perfect models for how to balance medicine with wellnessBeing around people isn't the same as being connected to themBoundaries will face external resistance—that doesn't make them wrongTaking c Support the showTo learn more about my coaching practice and group offerings, head over to www.healthierforgood.com.

Send us a textIn this episode of the Autonomic Homeostasis Activation Podcast, Ruth Lorensson and Tom Pals explore why safety is a non-negotiable foundation for true wellness. Building on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, they unpack how feeling safe—both physically and psychologically—is essential before we can access higher states like love, connection, and self-actualization.Tom offers a deep dive into the neurobiology of safety, explaining how our autonomic nervous system processes both real and perceived threats, and how chronic stress can keep us stuck in survival mode. Ruth shares relatable stories and personal reflections on how subtle cues—like a shadow mistaken for a mouse—can reveal deeper patterns of unsafety in the body. Together, they illuminate why so many people, even with their basic needs met, still don't feel safe—and how that affects everything from parenting to productivity.Tune in for a compassionate, science-informed conversation on how to recognize when your nervous system is stuck in overdrive, and how to begin creating the conditions for calm, connection, and healing.Key Topics:Why safety is foundational in Maslow's Hierarchy of NeedsThe role of the sympathetic nervous system in chronic stress and traumaHow perceived threats shape our experience of realityPractical tools for restoring a sense of safetyWhy safety is the gateway to love, connection, and true wellnessJoin Ruth and Tom as they uncover the hidden dynamics of safety and offer a hopeful path forward—one rooted in awareness, regulation, and the power of your brain to heal.Support the showThanks for listening!You can follow us onFacebook Instagram Leave us a review on Apple Podcasts Check out the Autonomic Healing Website & InnerWorkings WebsiteEmail Tom thomasjpals@innerworkings.orgEmail Ruth ruth@bridgeandrhino.comSupport usWe appreciate you!

Well Sh*t. It really is that simple - Episode 157 - "An "apology" to avoid consequences is not an apology, it's manipulation (and other things that help you to make an effective apology)" is now LIVE!Full Show notes: https://bit.ly/WellShitEpisodeGuideImagine receiving (what feels like) a heartfelt apology and finding out it was actually an attempt to manipulate you. Unfortunately, this happens all too often. As we talked about in our last episode an effective apology can repair and strengthen a relationship and an ineffective one can further erode and sometimes destroy it. In this episode we'll get into how an apology can actually be a manipulation that is doing further harm to everyone involved, ways you may be manipulating or being manipulated and how to recognize these manipulation tactics. We'll also provide you with some additional tips and considerations for making an effective apology. In this episode we cover:Our villain eras...cynical or silly?How manipulating someone impacts and compromises our needsThe destructive seeds manipulation plantsThe importance of feeling our way through apologiesHow an ineffective apology can create anxietyWhen someone keeps bringing up something that happened a long time agoClaire's experience of having a personal development tool used to manipulate herUsing the shame spiral as a form of manipulationCentering the person who has been harmedEpisode References:The Apology Blueprint episode - Episode 156 - The 6 essential parts of an effective apologyThe guilt and shame episode - Episode 43 - The Guilt & Shame Series: The difference between guilt and shameThe episode we talk about emotional processing - Episode 68 - That's not rambling, it's meeting your needsThe clearing niggles episode - Episode 61 - Friendship Series: Clearing NigglesEpisode 28 - An antidote to anxietyNote: Murphy's Law was a principle (the actual phrasing is debated) coined by Edward A.

The law's origins are linked to a specific incident where a technician wired a sensor backwards, rendering it useless.

Send us a textYou're not angry. You're not yelling. You're just… tired.The kind of tired that sinks in so deep, you're not even fighting anymore, you're just holding it together in silence, hoping things will somehow fix themselves. If love feels like a burden lately, if you find yourself walking on eggshells or wondering why it's so quiet at home, you're not alone. In fact, you're living through one of the most common, yet least talked about, relationship struggles of our time: emotional exhaustion.Welcome to Love Shack Live, the podcast for anyone at a relationship crossroads. Whether you're trying to save your marriage, navigating space and separation, or aching to reconnect with your partner, we're here to help you rebuild something real and lasting. I'm Staci Bartley, joined by my partner Tom and our daughter Brooke. Together, we'll get honest about what's actually happening when couples stop fighting, not because they've healed, but because they've run out of gas.Here's what we're unpacking this week:Why “peace and quiet” can actually be a danger signThe real-life symptoms of emotional burnout most people missHow magical thinking (“we'll get to it later”) quietly sabotages connectionThe invisible emotional labor that wears us down, especially for over-functioners and the quietly checked-outWhy punishing your partner (or yourself) for not “fixing it” never worksHow modern life is straining our capacity for love, and what to do about itPractical ways to refuel your emotional gas tank (even when you feel totally spent)Why play and joy aren't optional, they're the medicine your relationship desperately needsThe single most important skill you were never taught about love (and how to finally practice it)If you're exhausted from trying to keep your relationship together, or just tired of being the one who always tries, this episode will help you name what you're feeling, and finally offer a way forward.

Together, they unpack the systemic challenges, discuss the gaps within both medical and mental health professions, and offer practical guidance for individuals seeking quality care. This episode is a frank, informative, and urgent call to action for reform, evidenced-based training, and public advocacy.Key Topics Discussed:Introduction to Dr. Robert Smith and his groundbreaking work in patient-centered mental health carePersonal "anxious moments" shared by the hosts and Dr. SmithThe critical shortcomings of mental health training in medical education: only 2% focus on mental healthWhy 75% of mental health care is delivered by undertrained primary care physicians and the dangerous consequencesThe disconnect between medical training and real-world mental health needsThe role and limitations of psychiatrists, psychologists, and counselors in current care modelsThe prevalence of unregulated and unlicensed mental health support, including concerns with life coachesThe need for integrated, supervised, and evidence-based mental health training for all medical providers including nurse practitioners and PAsThe impact of untreated mental health disorders on physical health, medical outcomes, and healthcare costsDr. Smith's advocacy for a national investigation and systemic reform, inspired by historical public health movementsPractical advice for patients on advocating for themselves and seeking appropriate referralsClarifying the importance of specialized, evidence-based mental health care and how to identify qualified providersHopeful strategies and self-help practices individuals can engage in while systemic changes take placeNotable Quotes & Moments:“Seventy-five percent of all mental health care in the US is provided by primary care docs like me.

It's not. And medicine isn't doing anything about it.” — Dr. Robert Smith [06:50]“Mental health clinicians are often trained in non-evidence-based interventions.

In this episode, Sandy Vance speaks to Joseph Hernandez, VP of Channel Sales at BluIP, and Vivek Kuppuswamy, Principal Produce Manager at BluIP. They explore how BluIP's Conversational AI and Virtual Agent solutions revolutionize healthcare workflows by automating patient interactions, streamlining appointment scheduling, and enhancing the patient experience. They also discuss how AI-driven communication reduces administrative burden, improves operational efficiency, and enables healthcare providers to move past organizational tasks and focus on delivering quality care.Episode NotesBeginning with a look at the history of automation in healthcare, Joseph and Vivek explain that the concept behind BluIP's Conversational AI is not new; it fills a similar role to an automated voice menu.

We would love to hear from you! Send us a message (if you'd like a reply, email us at literacypodcast@greatminds.org)From 5/10/24In this conversation, Stephanie Stollar discusses the implementation of Multi-Tiered Systems of Support (MTSS). MTSS is a framework for school improvement that helps to provide support for students with various needs. The MTSS framework focuses on using data to identify barriers to student performance and making plans to eliminate those barriers. Stollar explains that word recognition skills are more discreet and sequential, while language comprehension skills are more unconstrained and complex. Stephanie recommends that special education resources should be blended with general education resources from the beginning, and students should receive intensive support as soon as it is needed, without having to go through a series of interventions and assessments. She also emphasizes the importance of evidence-aligned instruction and the need for team-based decision-making in the MTSS model.TakeawaysMTSS is a framework for school improvement that helps teachers provide support for students with various needsThe tiers in MTSS are prevention of reading failure, with tier one being primary prevention for all students, tier two providing extra support for students at higher risk, and tier three offering intensive and individualized support for struggling readersDifferentiate tier one instruction and provide targeted instruction based on screening and diagnostic dataAssessments in MTSS include screening assessments to identify students at risk, diagnostic assessments to determine specific instructional needs, and progress monitoring assessments to track student progress.Blend special education resources with general education resources from the beginning and provide intensive support as soon as it is needed.Focus on evidence-aligned instruction and team-based decision-making in the MTSS model.Resources Stephanie's Reading Science Academy Stephanie's MTSS Course Watch Stephanie discuss... the importance of using universal screening data to reflect the effectiveness of Tier 1 instruction and design core instruction the elements in a coordinated, comprehensive assessment systemwhy you should teach word recognition and language comprehension at the same time We answer your questions about teaching reading in The Literacy 50-A Q&A Handbook for Teachers: Real-World Answers to Questions About Reading That Keep You Up at Night.Grab free resources and episode alerts!
