Third-party IVF is getting bigger, but are clinics actually getting better at it?Or are some efforts to streamline the process creating new risks for patients?Dr. Allison Bloom of Main Line Fertility and Dr. Daniel Shapiro of Reproductive Biology Associates (RBA) discuss what separates a clinic that offers third-party reproduction from one that truly excels at it.We dive into:The push to streamline third-party IVF (and where corners may be getting cut)The technology stack donor & surrogacy programs needThe gaps in today's EMRs and what needs to changeEmerging trends around known donorsNew thinking on anonymous vs. de-identified donationOne thing each physician believes clinics should start (or stop) doing to become a third-party IVF powerhouseAs third-party reproduction becomes more common, the operational, ethical, and technological challenges become harder to ignore.

Stop trying to earn donor trust with polished updates.In this episode, I'm giving you a behind-the-scenes look at a training I recently led inside Courage Lab. These are the kinds of conversations we have with nonprofit leaders who are serious about raising more money and leading at a higher level.This is Part 1 of a teaching on Million Dollar Success Principles. Not tactics. Not donor hacks. The deeper truths I've learned from raising millions of dollars, learning from incredible mentors, and watching successful nonprofit leaders do this work over and over again.We talk about trust, donor behavior, leadership, vision, and why so many organizations unintentionally create the fundraising problems they complain about. Some of these ideas might sting a little. That's okay. The truth tends to do that.If you want bigger gifts, stronger donor relationships, and more sustainable fundraising, this episode will challenge how you think about donors and your role as a leader.What you'll learn in this episodeWhy honest donor communication builds more trust than polished success storiesHow constantly sharing wins can actually weaken donor confidenceThe real reason donors ask for restricted gifts and more controlWhy trust, not control, is the foundation of major donor relationshipsHow a clear long-term vision helps you raise larger and multi-year giftsWhy donors stop giving when they run out of future with your organizationThe connection between strategic planning and major gift fundraisingHow donor behavior often reflects the leadership they're receivingWhy donors only know what you tell them and give based on what you ask forThe fundraising mistakes leaders make when they assume donors know what they needThe leaders who raise the most money are willing to tell the truth.They trust donors with the real story. They paint a compelling future. And they take responsibility for leading donor behavior instead of blaming it. That's what creates trust, partnership, and transformational giving.Want 15 leads in 5 minutes?

Welcome to another episode of the Data Debrief, the companion show to Driven by Data: The Podcast, where hosts Catherine Dowden-King and Kyle Winterbottom unpack Tuesday's episode, share what's been on their minds, and explore the realities of leadership, culture, and capability across the data and AI landscape.This week, Catherine and Kyle reflect on the conversation with Dru Patel from the FA, diving deeper into the human side of data leadership, from storytelling and self-awareness to the commercial realities of what it actually takes to succeed at the executive level.They cover:Why Dru Patel's approach to storytelling and communication stood out as one of the most compelling conversations the podcast has hosted to dateHow technical capability alone has become “table stakes” in data leadership, and why the differentiator is now influence, communication, and the ability to shape perceptionWhy “soft skills” might be the most damaging phrase in the industry, and how cultural buy-in and human-centred leadership are often the real drivers of ROIThe uncomfortable reality that working hard and being technically brilliant doesn't automatically lead to progression, and why self-awareness is becoming a critical leadership traitHow data leaders can shift conversations away from platforms, dashboards, and governance, and toward decisions, business outcomes, and commercial impactWhy organisations still struggle with the perception of data teams as back-office technical functions, and how that perception shapes hiring, mandates, and ultimately failureThe difference between data literacy and data culture, and why culture is what happens when nobody is watchingHow lived experience, industry context, and organisational history shape expectations around data quality, trust, and value creationWhy many CDO mandates continue to fail, not because the individuals lack capability, but because organisations hire for technical delivery while expecting commercial transformationThe growing disconnect between what data leaders are hired to do and what boards actually expect them to achieveThey also dig into the future of data leadership and organisational accountability:Why businesses are now entering their third, fourth, and even fifth iteration of the CDO role, and what those repeated resets reveal about the maturity of the marketHow hiring behaviour has unintentionally incentivised technical specialisation over commercial leadership for more than a decadeWhy asking questions around decisions, KPIs, revenue targets, and business performance during interviews can quickly reveal an organisation's true perception of data leadershipKyle's thought of the week: why the debate around failed CDO mandates is becoming too polarised between “it's the organisation's fault” and “it's the individual's fault,” and why the reality sits somewhere in the middleCatherine's thought of the week: what happened after asking LinkedIn for web developer recommendations, and what the overwhelming response revealed about vendor outreach, personalisation, and the growing problem of AI-generated sales noiseThey also discuss:Why AI has enabled many organisations to operate “badly at scale, but faster”How senior leaders increasingly avoid broad vendor engagement unless there is an immediate needThe importance of building trusted communities where candid conversations can happen openly and safelyWhy Orbition Group's private membership community continues to grow as leaders look for more meaningful peer-to-peer discussion away from the public spotlightThis episode is a candid exploration of the skills gap that rarely gets discussed in data and AI leadership, not the technical gap, but the commercial, cultural, and human capability gap that increasingly determines who succeeds, who gets overlooked, and why so many organisations still struggle to realise value from data.

“I THIRST” | The Fifth Saying of Jesus on the CrossLast words are always significant and revealing, and nowhere is that more true than at the cross.In this message, we explore one of the most simple yet powerful statements Jesus made during His crucifixion: “I thirst.” (John 19:28–30)At first glance, it's just two words. No parable. No long teaching.But within this short statement, we see both the full humanity of Jesus and the depth of His divine mission. After enduring unimaginable suffering, trials, beatings, and crucifixion, Jesus speaks from a place of deep physical thirst. Yet this moment is far more than physical…It's spiritual.It's prophetic.It's personal.The same Jesus who once said, “Come to Me and drink”… now says, “I thirst.”Why? Because on the cross, He took on our sin, our emptiness, and our spiritual dryness.

Today's guest is Sara Tateno, founder of Happity – the platform helping parents find baby & toddler classes while powering thousands of small but mighty businesses behind them. Sara didn't come from tech, but a second pregnancy, a house move and the panic of “how will I cope this time?” led her to spot a huge, overlooked problem: why was it still so hard to find local classes in the age of smartphones and slick consumer apps?With a management consulting background, Sara could see the commercial opportunity instantly... millions of children, hundreds of classes per neighbourhood, and class providers trying to scale with no proper booking, data or marketing tools. But the people feeling this pain were new parents without access to capital or tech skills. So she decided to become the technical founder herself.In this conversation, Sara shares how she went from BBC strategy to Google's startup incubator for parents, discovered coding through a “bring your baby” learn-to-code group, and then enrolled in an intense 12‑week bootcamp while her husband took shared parental leave. She built the first version of Happity herself, pulled in classmates to help, and used that prototype to prove there was both a deep emotional need (maternal mental health, community, connection) and a serious global business.We talk about what it really looked like to build a remote-first, flexible company pre‑pandemic, not as a lifestyle perk, but as a way to access incredible, often “overqualified” talent who were being locked out of traditional roles because of rigid working patterns. Sara shares the reality of recruiting parents hungry for meaningful work, the uncomfortable dynamic of turning down high-calibre applicants for low-paid roles, and how that revealed just how broken the flexible work market really was.We also get into the messy bits: launching the site while her daughter was in and out of hospital with appendicitis and how those moments forced her to recalibrate boundaries around family time, school holidays and presence at home. We explore how she and her co-founder restructured their own work to protect both the business and their mental health – and why she believes founders and investors need to talk far more honestly about burnout, caregiving and sustainability.Finally, we zoom out to the industry. Sara unpacks the “cutesy” stigma around businesses focused on babies and mums, and why the term “mompreneur” has been so dismissive of entrepreneurs running genuinely large, often international operations in this space. She explains why impact community, maternal mental health and connection isn't a side-story but the backbone of Happity's commercial strategy, and how investor attitudes to “impact + returns” have shifted since they first started fundraising.We also dive into:How a Google incubator for parents and a remote accelerator opened doors that would otherwise have stayed shutWhy learning to code changed Sara's mindset as a founder and why “I don't know yet, but I'll figure it out” is the ultimate entrepreneurial skillWhat it's really like to go through an intensive bootcamp with a newborn at home – and why she doesn't romanticise itThe trade-offs, mistakes and course corrections she's made as a mum and founder (including the ones she still thinks about)Why 97% of Happity's traffic is organic and what that says about building products that meet a truly urgent needThe nuances of marketing to mums: clarity over fluff, “trusted friend” over judgement, and brutally honest usefulness over cutesy pastel brand-speakThis is a powerful, unvarnished look at how Sara built a serious tech business from the most “domestic” of problems and why motherhood can be a catalyst for bigger, not smaller, ambitions.

Send a textPart Two – Is Your Ladder Leaning Against the Wrong Wall? | Richard Mobley on Leadership and CallingIn Part Two of this powerful conversation, Richard Mobley dives deeper into what happens when success no longer satisfies — and how leaders can unknowingly climb the wrong ladder.After decades of corporate advancement, Richard reached a season of fatigue and uncertainty.  What followed wasn't a dramatic “eureka” moment, but a squiggly journey of rediscovery.  Through consulting, real estate ventures, and personal reflection, he uncovered a deeper truth: fulfillment isn't found in constant upward motion — it's found in alignment.This episode explores:Why the line of success is rarely straightHow leaders develop a false fear of failureThe difference between healthcare and healthcare financeWhy “follow your passion” can be misleading adviceThe Hebrew concept of Avodah — work as worshipHow calling happens at the intersection of gifting and needThe power of evaluated experience over experience aloneRichard challenges leaders to stop measuring success by Wall Street metrics or cultural expectations.  Instead, he invites us to ask:Is my ladder leaning against the right wall?During the conversation, Richard references Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s words spoken in Birmingham:“You don't have to see the entire staircase in order to take the first step.”  It's a fitting reminder that calling rarely unfolds in a straight line. Leadership growth is often a squiggle — forward momentum mixed with setbacks, recalibration, and courage.  Sometimes the most strategic move a leader can make isn't climbing faster, but pausing long enough to realign.If you've ever felt successful but unfulfilled, busy but misaligned, or driven but unclear on your deeper why — this conversation will both ground and inspire you.There is immeasurable joy in making the right difference.

There's a mistake that every Nonprofit leader makes from time to time. In fact, we all make this mistake, not just in our work, but in multiple aspects of our lives. And if we can be attentive enough and fix it, we can absolutely transform our results and massively reduce our level of frustration. Here's what I'm talking about. It's the curse of the expert. We know way too much about every aspect of the work that we do and the impact it has. And we correctly recognize that all those details are important. They all contribute to the overall success of the work that we do. Unfortunately, that makes us really bad at paring that way down and zeroing in on the one or two details or messaging points that the decisionmaker we're talking to needs to know right now. Not in the end, not when we're all done, but right now. We want to tell them all the details 'cause we know how important they all are. But when we do that, all we do is flood their brain with way too much information and they can't process any of it and they don't retain any of it. So what do we do about this? How do you not only refrain from TMI, but how do you identify precisely what are the two or three things this decisionmaker needs to know right now, depending on where they are in their journey. Where do you, as their guide, need to take them next? In this episode, we share:What I learned from teaching jujitsu that will help you build messaging that causes decisionmakers to “get it”The three-piece message scaffolding that is key to moving decisionmakers to invest fully in your workHow to construct a high-level, impact-focused summary of your work in three sentences or lessWhy white papers and infographics often fail to improve decisionmakers' understandingHow to structure your messaging to cause decisionmakers to ask for the exact details they needThe one thing you must train yourself to do when talking with decisionmakers Help spread the word! If you found value in this episode, I'd be grateful if you would leave a review on iTunes or wherever you listen. Your reviews help other nonprofit leaders find the podcast.  Thanks!!

In this conversation with ceremonialist, teen mentor, and soul-centric educator Johannah Reimer, we explore how to bring back the village-held rites of passage that our girls—and all young people—deserve.Johannah and Emily dive into the developmental arc from childhood to adolescence, the spiritual and biological transitions young girls move through, and the deep cultural poverty created by the loss of elders, ceremony, and shared responsibility. Together, they illuminate a path toward reclaiming ancestral wisdom, building ritual in everyday life, supporting girls through their first blood with reverence, and cultivating the council, community, and belonging every young person is wired for.This episode covers:What rites of passage actually are (and why they matter more than ever)How girls experience the shift into maidenhood—and what support they truly needThe three stages of an initiation + where modern culture gets stuckWhy adolescence is spiritually and psychologically tender, and why peers alone cannot guide each otherHow council practice builds emotional resilience, listening skills, and community-mindednessThe danger of raising adults who never move past the adolescent egoHow to reconnect with your own ancestry to craft culturally-rooted ritual without appropriationSimple ways aunties, uncles, elders, and childfree adults can step into village rolesA practical “next step” anyone can take to begin weaving a more connected culture for youthTo Connect with Johannah: Website: https://wakefulnature.comRekindling the Hearth Series (Seasonal Family Rituals): https://wakefulnature.com/rekindleGirls' Rites of Passage Mentorship & Facilitator Training: https://wakefulnature.com/trainingTo Work with Emily — the Revillaging Mama: The Third Space – A community of revillagers bringing the village to life through practice, prayer and playRevillage Your Life – A 4-month mentorship container to transform your experience from "isolated" to "supported"The Village Upgrade – A quick upgrade to align your precious resources of time, energy & money with the village you are calling in BOOK A FREE DISCOVERY CALL to explore the next layer of support for your revillaging journey

In this heartfelt episode, Dr. Dee switches seats with her daughter, Ariel Fuller, and together with their guest Shirlyn Palmer, they unpack the often misunderstood difference between sensuality and sexuality—and why embracing both is essential to a woman's healing and self-awareness.The conversation dives into:The fear many women have around their own sensualityHow sexuality complements rather than replaces sensualityThe importance of self-awareness in discovering what you truly like and needThe impact of childhood experiences and societal expectations on feminine identityHow damaged souls seek validation through sex, and how healing begins with truthThis episode is a powerful reminder that the woman within must be nurtured, seen, and honored. Healing begins when we reconnect with our truth.

Hey Doc!What happens when the OB/GYN becomes a new mom and realizes everything she thought she knew about postpartum was incomplete?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Candice Wood, an OB-GYN, perinatal mental health specialist, and mom of five, for a conversation that is tender, hilarious, and quietly radical.Yes, she built a 2-day-a-week career while raising five kids under five. But what we really talk about is what happened after the babies came.When she found herself:silently competing with her husband's ex-wifebreastfeeding through gritted teeth and unspoken anxietyresenting a partner she had trained to be helplessand quietly unraveling, while still doing everything “right” on paperThis episode is about the postpartum identity crisis no one prepares you for — and the healing that happens when you finally name what's actually going on.We talk about:Why resentment is often a sign you've buried a needThe trap of trying to be both the best mother and the best martyrHow her patients helped her see her own sufferingAnd what it really takes to feel like a good mom (hint: it's not perfection)If you've ever found yourself doing it all — and quietly wondering why it still doesn't feel like enough — this one will land deep.

Episode Summary: In this intimate and empowering conversation, Amy Wheeler sits down with yoga therapist, postpartum doula, and mother of two, Alexi Neal, to explore what happens when the yoga practice you've loved for decades no longer serves your body in the same way.Alexi shares her journey from starting yoga at age 12, falling in love with the strength and presence it gave her, to discovering—through chronic pain, pelvic dysfunction, and motherhood—that her hypermobility was both a blessing and a challenge. She opens up about the difficulty of letting go of deep, stretchy poses that felt emotionally nourishing but were damaging her SI joints and pelvic stability.The conversation dives into:How cultural narratives around motherhood and women's health leave many women without the support they needThe physical and emotional realities of hypermobility and pelvic floor dysfunctionWhy heavy strength training became a surprising but essential part of Alexi's healing and empowermentHow honoring boundaries in movement is an act of self-respect and long-term sustainabilityThe “village” mindset and how it applies not only to mothering but to self-careAlexi's story is an invitation to listen deeply to your body, to adapt your practice as life changes, and to recognize that true yoga is not performance—it's about honoring what supports your wholeness today.Connect with Alexi Neal:Website: soulfulsomatics.com (Soulful with two L's)Instagram: @soulfullexi Plans of Study for NDMU Yoga Therapyhttps://livendm.sharepoint.com/sites/Academics/SitePages/Yoga-Therapy-Plans-of-Study.aspx?csf=1&web=1&share=EeZhGMscDMFOl1Lk0PD6gOsBTxvKkWvbfjhHLmMMuNpLFw&e=ApOX4h&CID=45c542e6-5528-4c68-a8ac-5596fb4fc161School of Integrative Health at NDMU: https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-healthMaster of Science in Yoga Therapy at NDMU https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy  Explore NDMU's Post-Master's Certificate in Therapeutic Yoga Practices, designed specifically for licensed healthcare professionals.  https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/yoga-therapy/post-masters-certificate-in-therapeutic-yoga-practices Try our Post-Bac Ayurveda Certification Program at NDMU: https://www.ndm.edu/academics/integrative-health/ayurveda/post-baccalaureate-ayurveda-certification #IntegrativeHealth #HealthcareEducation #InterprofessionalEducation #GraduateSchool #NDMUproud #SOIHproud #SOIHYoga #SOIHAyurveda #NDMUYoga #NDMUAyurveda #SOIHGraduateSchool 

Parenting a thirteen-year-old for the first time feels completely different than parenting your four two-year-old—and that's exactly the point. In this vulnerable episode of Mucked Up My Self Care, Jill and Linda explore how self-care shifts and evolves through every stage of motherhood, from pregnancy loss and postpartum preparation to managing preteens, kindergarteners, and everything in between. Through personal stories of hospital scares, garden overwhelm, and the messy reality of trying to control the uncontrollable, they remind us that sometimes the best self-care is simply letting go.In this episode, you'll learn:How self-care needs change dramatically across different parenting stages (and why that's completely normal)Why trying to control too much in motherhood can actually dampen your self-care effortsThe unique challenges of managing multiple ages at once—from preteens leaving empty food packets everywhere to toddlers needing constant attentionHow to navigate self-care during intense seasons: pregnancy, loss, health crises, and emotional heavinessWhy "structured self-care" isn't always the answer—sometimes it's about vegging out on the couch with a bookHow to prepare for postpartum self-care when you've been through it before and know what you needThe power of having a go-to self-care list when you're too overwhelmed to think clearlyWhy giving yourself understanding and grace is essential when parenting any age for the first timeMotherhood doesn't come with a manual, and neither does self-care through its many stages. Whether you're dealing with difficult school drop-offs, preteen messes, pregnancy worries, or just trying to squeeze in half a page of reading before falling asleep, this episode validates the reality that every stage brings new challenges—and new opportunities to care for yourself differently. Jill and Linda's honest conversation reminds you that it's okay when things don't go as planned, and that sometimes the best thing you can do is dance it out, take it one day at a time, and remember: this is the first time you're parenting this exact child at this exact age.Until next week, we hope you can unstuck your muck!

We're going to explore why seeking safety can sometimes keep us stuck—and why building trust in ourselves is a more sustainable path forward.Drawing on my work as a therapist, and real-life examples from clients and my own experiences, I walk you through the subtle but important shift from trying to avoid discomfort to learning we can handle it.What You'll Hear:Why “safety” might not be what you actually needThe difference between control and trustHow to build inner confidence and resilience, especially after traumaA reframe for those of us who tend to overprepare, overthink, or retreatIf you've ever tried to fix your anxiety by making your world smaller—by canceling plans, avoiding conflict, or needing constant reassurance—this one's for you.Resources + Next Steps:Try a self-trust journal prompt this week: What have I already survived that proves I can do hard things?Want support applying this to your own life or relationship?

In today's episode, Dominique sits down with award-winning researcher and best-selling author Dr. Chelle McQuaid, whose work dives deep into how women can break free from lifelong patterns of perfectionism, people-pleasing, and silencing themselves to keep others comfortable.From early childhood conditioning to the cultural expectations still placed on women today, Dr. Chelle shares surprising insights from her global research, including the role estrogen plays in helping us shed the "good girl" persona and step into a more authentic, empowered self.In this episode, Dominique and Dr. Chelle discuss:How “good girl” conditioning begins in childhood and gets reinforced in adulthoodThe connection between menopause and breaking free from self-silencing behaviorsWhy women often struggle with setting boundaries and asking for what they needThe three biggest ways the “good girl” mindset shows up: perfectionism, people-pleasing, and emotional suppressionHow self-compassion, secure self-attachment, and self-leadership can change everythingWhy “not yet” can be the most powerful phrase for growthA calming somatic practice (the “butterfly hug”) to ground yourself in moments of fear or self-doubtFor more on Angela:Listen to her podcast, The Good Girl Gamechangers PodcastVisit her website: https://shop.thegoodgirlgamechangers.com/ Thanks to my Sponsors:Visit Carawayhome.com/flourishing or use code flourishing at checkout to take an additional 10% off your next purchase.Use code DOMINIQUE at monarchmoney.com in your browser for half off your first year.

Send in a question or comment via text.I get asked about medication every single day. Can you get better without it? Is it necessary? What's the best one? Is it cheating to take medication?Today I'm explaining why I don't answer these questions - and why you should be cautious about content creators who do.In this episode, I cover:The three main reasons mental health content creators shouldn't give medication adviceWhy personal beliefs and autonomy matter more than you might thinkThe countless variables that make medication decisions incredibly complexWhy your recovery journey changes over time (and so do your needs)What qualifications actually matter when it comes to psychiatric medicationsA better approach to getting the medication support you needThe reality is this: There are too many personal, medical, cultural, and lifestyle factors that go into medication decisions for any podcaster, YouTuber, or social media creator to give you meaningful advice. Even as a therapist specializing in anxiety disorders, there are clear boundaries I must respect.This doesn't mean your questions aren't valid - they absolutely are. It means you deserve qualified, ongoing professional support for these important decisions, not one-size-fits-all answers from someone who doesn't know your specific situation.Whether you use medication or not, the principles of anxiety recovery remain the same. You can't make a wrong choice because you can always change course as you learn and grow.For full show notes on this episode:https://theanxioustruth.com/320My medication story:https://theanxioustruth.com/145https://theanxioustruth.com/146https://theanxioustruth.com/147Support The Anxious Truth: If you find the podcast helpful and want to support my work, you can buy me a coffee.

Or is it holding me back?We get into:The physical healing I didn't expectThe spiritual side of drinking (and why they call it “spirits”)Why alcohol is one more stressor your body doesn't needThe sneaky marketing that sells alcohol as “empowerment”How sobriety has made me more magnetic — in friendships, confidence, and lifeA story about a new friend, a pool date, and choosing honesty over people-pleasingAnd how to say no without guilt, even in a drinking cultureThis is for the sober-curious, the quietly-questioning, and the ones ready to come home to themselves.Mentioned in this episode:Book: Quit Like a Woman by Holly WhitakerMuve Life Activewear – summer biker shorts are

[They have] operated as two separate disciplines operating in their own silos... [When] there is a public health emergency we build more bridges, we strengthen those bridges that already exist. And then when that public health emergency subsides, we all retreat into our own disciplines and we continue that siloed journey.”Relevant LinksRead about the NAM initiative on climate change and healthExplore why the US needs more community health workers from this articleLearn more about the Common Health CoalitionDive into details on KP's sustainability journeyAbout Our GuestDr. Bechara Choucair, MD, is executive vice president and chief community health officer for Kaiser Foundation Health Plan, Inc. and Hospitals — known as Kaiser Permanente, one of America's leading integrated health care providers and not-for-profit health plans.

Connection forms the foundation of mental health and happiness, with disconnection from ourselves, others, the world, and something greater underlying virtually every psychological struggle we face.• Four types of connection: with self (authenticity), others (relationships), the world (nature/art), and something greater (awe/spirituality)• Modern distractions like social media, FOMO, and constant digital interruptions actively prevent meaningful connection• Self-connection provides the foundation for all other connections - if disconnected from ourselves, we can't truly connect elsewhere• Personal "connection formulas" vary widely - activities that energize one person may drain another• Novel shared experiences allow families and couples to see each other through fresh eyes and strengthen bonds• Friendships serve vital roles that romantic relationships cannot replace - no single relationship can meet all our connection needs• Workplace connection can be found by developing valued skills and experiencing flow states even in less-than-ideal jobs• Loneliness impacts physical health more than smoking, highlighting connection as a fundamental human needThe book "Super Psyched: Unleash the Power of the Four Types of Connection and Live the Life You Love" is available now on Amazon and Barnes & Noble, and you can learn more at DrAdamDorsay.com.Visit our site for FREE relationship resources and regular giveaways: Strongermarriage.org Podcast.stongermarriage.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/strongermarriage/ Facebook Marriage Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/770019130329579 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/strongermarriagelife/ Dr. Dave Schramm: http://drdaveschramm.com http://drdavespeaks.com Dr. Liz Hale: http://www.drlizhale.com

Moreover, sellers are often unfamiliar with their own status. Front office team members manage this information and sellers may not request this information for fear of revealing a pending sale?!

Proper expectations and persistence are key to navigating credentialing successfully.28:20 What Does Being Out of Network Mean?! Failing to properly prepare for network credentialing can create significant issues for dental practices, especially when patients realize they are unexpectedly out of network. This can lead to frustration, distrust, and potential financial concerns. But many offices make the transition harder than necessary by not fully understanding, in the interim, they can still honor network fees while awaiting credentialing. Proper planning and clear patient communication are key to ensuring a smooth transition and avoiding unnecessary complications.
