Sarah McDugal is back on the podcast, and this time we're talking about what it actually takes to protect your children inside a family court system that often reframes abuse as "mutual high conflict" and makes the protective parent look like the problem. Sarah is a clarity coach and founder of Freedom Navigator and Wilderness to Wild, where she works exclusively with protective parents navigating high-conflict divorce and custody battles. In this conversation, we talk about why the ways most of us instinctively respond—explaining, defending, and trying to get people to understand the truth—can actually work against us in court. We also dive into Sarah's High Conflict Court Risk Index, an assessment designed to help parents understand early how likely their case is to become a long, drawn-out legal battle. The earlier you can see the terrain you're walking into, the more strategically you can move through it. And we talk about the kids. One of the most powerful reframes Sarah offers is that protecting our children doesn't always mean shielding them from harm. Sometimes the greatest protection we can give them is helping them learn how to navigate difficult realities with clarity, resilience, and support. If you're deep in a high-conflict case and feel like everything you do somehow gets used against you, you're not imagining it. The family court system is not what most of us think it is—and fighting it the way we naturally want to can sometimes make things worse. This conversation offers a different playbook. What you'll hear about in this episode: Why what family court labels "high conflict" is very often an abuser-victim dynamic, not a mutual conflict situation (5:28) How you can shift the dynamics in court by changing yourself, not by trying to change the other person or the system (11:10) The High Conflict Court Risk Index, what it assesses, who it is for, and why taking it early means you can start the right conversations sooner (12:28) Why an interdisciplinary divorce team saves you time, money, and unnecessary damage (24:28) What to do when your high conflict court risk comes back moderate to high, and where to go for support (23:30) Why protecting your kids from all harm is not the goal and how to start teaching them to navigate tricky people and tricky situations instead (31:30) ✨ If you'd like to watch the video version of this episode, you can find it here.

The idea of a nursing shortage may be a little scary to those in need of health care. But the head of CSU Pueblo's school of nursing is offering solutions for what has become a national problem. Then, alleged malfeasance in Aguilar, Colorado. Also, textile artist and painter Ana Maria Hernando has opened a new show in Colorado Springs that provides a fabric dreamscape.

We've had many conversations on Raise the Line about the challenges of health communication in today's world of information overload, but none of our guests have the kind of expertise Dr. Tesfa Alexander has acquired in a career that has taken him from Madison Avenue to the halls of government and academia. From guiding tobacco education research at the FDA to leading public health initiatives at MITRE, Dr. Alexander has developed a deep understanding of the science and strategy behind effective health communication. “Successful campaigns keep the long game in mind where you want to develop a lasting relationship with your target audience,” he tells host Lindsey Smith. That relationship needs to be built on understanding culture, beliefs, priorities and daily realities, and only then can you develop messaging that will resonate, he explains. Dr. Alexander also believes these relationships can be leveraged to help people sort out facts from misleading or inaccurate claims. “I strongly recommend shifting our focus from combating misinformation head on, and instead working with the communities who we are seeking to serve.” This fascinating look at communication science also covers: How stories drive belief; The importance of working with community partners who are trusted messengers;  The power of audience segmentation. Tune in as Dr. Alexander unpacks what it takes to influence beliefs, and ultimately behaviors, in an era defined by misinformation and institutional mistrust.

How do you solve problems as complex as drug pricing or childhood obesity? Chelsea Clinton, vice chair of the Clinton Foundation, pulls back the curtain on data-driven methodology. She and host Chethan Sathya, MD, discuss how the foundation moves beyond good intentions, relying on hard evidence and measurable outcomes to prove impact.

Send a textIf nursing is consistently ranked as the most trusted profession in America…Why do so many nurses feel unheard inside their own workplaces?That question has been on my mind.On this podcast: We talk about burnout. We talk about staffing. We talk about leadership.But underneath all of it is something deeper — culture.And culture is hard to change.Not because nurses don't care.Not because leaders don't try.But because culture isn't just policy.It's identity.There are many layers to uncover here, so let's get into it.Notes on Nursing: What it is and What it is Not, by Florence NightingaleContact The Conversing Nurse podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/theconversingnursepodcast/Website: https://theconversingnursepodcast.comYour review is so important to this Indie podcaster!

Jessica Palacios was two semesters away from her nursing degree when she walked into a patient's room mid-clinical and found an elderly woman alone in the dark, covered in bed sores, on the wrong mattress, with photos of her family taped to her IV pump. When Jessica raised the alarm, her professor told her to worry about it when she was a real nurse. She sat in her driveway and cried for 30 minutes that evening. That one moment sent her on a decade-long journey through accounting, psychology, sociology, and business before a faculty advisor finally looked at her history and said, you should be in HR. What followed was a 20+ year career at the Texas A&M University System, where Jessica now serves as Associate Director of System Benefits Administration, overseeing healthcare and benefits for over 50,000 covered lives across one of the largest university systems in the United States. In this episode of Inspiring Women, host Laurie McGraw sits down with Jessica to unpack the full journey, the pivots, the promotions, the hard feedback, and the leadership lessons that only come from doing it the hard way. They discuss: The clinical experience that forced Jessica to walk away from nursing and what it still teaches her about advocacy today How she accidentally stumbled into benefits while working at Webb County before she even had her degree What it was like to be thrust into management early with no guidance and be told her tone was a problem The HR director who sat her down with emotional intelligence books and met with her every week until something shifted Why she believes benefits is the single greatest place in any organisation to change an employee's life outside of their paycheck How she now intentionally invests in her team's growth, certifications, master's degrees, vendor relationships and beyond Jessica Palacios is proof that the career you planned and the career you're meant for are rarely the same thing, and that a life spent in service to people can take more shapes than you ever expected.

According to the “Beyond the Bedside: The State of Nursing in 2025” report, 65% of nurses say they’re experiencing high levels of stress and burnout. The study also found that only 60% of nurses would choose their profession again, and 67% of student nurses are concerned about managing their workload. Short staffing, inadequate pay, lack of leadership support, and patient abuse are listed as the top stressors. On Tuesday’s “Closer Look,” Host Rose Scott speaks with Dr. Lisa Herbert, Obstetrician-Gynecologist Dr. Kristin Oates and Primary Care Physician Dhaval Desai about their personal experience with stress and burnout, how it can impact patients, plus solutions for the wellbeing of patients and the medical workers who care for them.

Nina Hartley® is an American sex educator, author, speaker, activist, advocate and performer whose career spans more than four decades. With a background as a registered nurse, she brings a rare combination of clinical grounding, lived experience, and plainspoken clarity to conversations about sexuality, consent, pleasure, and communication. Her work consistently centers education, agency, and harm reduction, emphasizing sexuality as an integral part of overall health and well-being. Hartley earned a Bachelor of Science in Nursing from San Francisco State University, graduating magna cum laude before transitioning full-time into media and education work. That medical training continues to inform her approach, particularly her focus on accurate information, bodily autonomy, and ethical responsibility. She has long argued that honest, shame-free sexual education is essential not only for personal fulfillment but for healthier relationships and communities. In addition to her extensive career in adult media, Hartley has devoted much of her professional life to sex education. She has lectured at universities, participated in academic panels, and appeared in public forums addressing topics such as consent, feminist theory, free expression, and the social impact of sexual stigma. Her educational projects emphasize practical communication skills, enthusiastic consent, emotional literacy, and respect for boundaries, identity and desire. Hartley is the co-author of Nina Hartley's Guide to Total Sex, an accessible, comprehensive resource that reflects her teaching philosophy: that sexual knowledge should be empowering, inclusive, and grounded in real-world experience. The book is a companion piece to her 40-volume video sex education series known collectively as the Nina Hartley® Guides. She has also appeared in mainstream film and television, most notably in Boogie Nights, and has been a frequent guest on talk shows and documentaries discussing sexuality and media ethics. An outspoken advocate for sex-positive feminism and free speech, Hartley has served on the boards of organizations supporting sexual education and performer rights. She is known for engaging thoughtfully with complex and often controversial issues, approaching them with humor, candor, emotional insight, emphasizing an insistence on nuance rather than moral panic. Today, Hartley continues to teach, write, and speak about intimacy, aging, long-term relationships, and sexual ethics. Her work remains guided by a belief that informed, consensual sexuality is not fringe or indulgent, but a fundamental aspect of human dignity and personal autonomy."

We're marking Rare Disease Month 2026 by highlighting the powerful story of Shanthi Hegde, a young patient advocate working to transform how bleeding disorders are understood, treated, and supported. This work is fueled by her own arduous journey with two rare bleeding disorders and immune dysregulatory syndrome, and an extended diagnostic odyssey marked by dismissal, underdiagnosis, and structural bias. “I was told many times by many providers that these disorders are not common in Indians and that my bruises were there just because I'm brown.” Admirably, Shanthi pushed past this mistreatment, advocated for her medical needs, and devoted herself to tackling a range of issues confronting rare disease patients from mental health access to affordable drug pricing to research equity. In this remarkable Year of the Zebra conversation with host Lindsey Smith, you'll also learn about: Shanti's work with the Hemophilia Federation of America; How gaps extend beyond treatment to include insurance coverage, provider training, and substance use care; What clinicians can do to improve the work they do with rare disease patients. Join us for a conversation that connects patient voice to system change, and explores what real equity for rare disease communities will require.

A History of Sterilization The history of the science of sterilization is fascinating and tied inextricably with developments in germ theory and infection prevention. The pioneers of sterilization, at times working against great odds, laid the groundwork for the processes healthcare professionals use every day to keep billions of patients safe.

Schober introduces the early physicians and scientists who saw that the world could be a safer place.

The endocrine workforce shortage is affecting the lives of endocrinologists and the patients they treat. Many practices would benefit from any support that would give endocrinologists more capacity to focus where they really need to. Could advance practice providers, such as nurse practitioners and physicians assistants, be able to provide that support if they had a little more training?   The Endocrine Society and the American Association of Nurse Practitioners? (AANP) think so. Together they have developed a new program called Clinical Advantage: Endocrinology Certificate for Advanced Practice Providers. What does the certificate represent, how does the program work?   To help answer those questions and more host Aaron Lohr talks with two guests who helped develop the program: Sara R. MacLeod, DO, MPH, Assistant Professor of Medicine at University of Rochester; and Shannon K. Idzik, DNP, CRNP, ANP-BC, FAANP, FAAN, Professor and Associate Dean for the Doctor of Nursing Practice Program at University of Maryland School of Nursing.   Listen to learn how Clinical Advantage is working to address the shortage.

In this episode of 20-Minute Health Talk, host Chethan Sathya, MD, speaks with Peter Hotez, MD, pediatrician, scientist and global health advocate. Dr. Hotez shares the story behind his public advocacy: The "planned part" of his career — developing life-saving vaccines for the world's poor — and the "unplanned part" that began when his daughter, Rachel, was diagnosed with autism. Dr. Hotez explains how this experience thrust him into the center of the vaccine debate, which led to him becoming a target of the anti-vaccine movement. He and Dr. Sathya offer a behind-the-scenes look at the challenges of communicating evolving science to the general public. This is Part 1 of this series.

In the second part of this 20-Minute Health Talk podcast with Peter Hotez, MD, pediatrician, scientist and global health advocate, the conversation with host Chethan Sathya, MD, shifts to the front lines of health care. Dr. Hotez offers practical advice for clinicians and the public on navigating medical misinformation and myths, such as "turbo cancers.” He also reveals yet another good reason to get your Covid and flu shots — to protect your heart. As he explores the critical public health importance of childhood vaccines like the MMR and Hepatitis B, Dr. Hotez explains the real-world consequences of declining vaccination rates. Finally, he offers his frank assessment of the political and financial forces driving the anti-science movement and how to rebuild public trust. This is Part 2 of this series.

Hi Nurse friend, Today, we're diving into a request from one of our listeners that I know so many of you will relate to. By the way, I love when listeners request topics. You can always message me feedback on an episode, questions or requests on instagram @theshanwright or email hello@theshanwright.com She wrote: "I find I struggle with releasing sadness or tension after a tough shift because I can't really talk it out. Either HIPAA or my partner doesn't understand - so I just shove it down and move into mom role." Oh friend, if you're listening - thank you for your vulnerability. And to everyone else nodding along right now, I see you. This is so relatable!! The weight doesn't disappear just because you can't talk about it. It settles in your shoulders, your jaw, your chest. And over time, that shoving down becomes a pattern that disconnects us from ourselves, from God, and from the very people we love. Today, we're going to talk about sacred, practical ways to release what you carry - ways that honor HIPAA, honor your family, and most importantly, honor you. I have 4 ways that will care for you holistically. Would love to hear which one you will try over in our community group: Holistic Care for Nurses  Shalom Shalom,  Xx, Shan  ……CONNECT……  Are you in burnout or just stressed?? Take the Free QUIZ

“I've never seen this type of healing in the conventional healthcare system. Never. It's so profound and so fast and long lasting, and it's just absolutely mind blowing every time. Not always, though, isn't this effective for everybody, right? It's not a magic pill or a cure all or anything like that. But for the people that it does work for, they say that everything they tried didn't work, but this was it.  It brings me to my soul work, which is being able to be a bridge or a facilitator, to help somebody heal, and that is what lights me up.” ~Anna Desmarais BSN, RN, HWNC-BCAh Ha MomentsIntegrative Nurse Coaching can reconnect you to your “why.”  It's OK to shift the way you show up and practice as a Nurse, connecting back to your purpose can help you discover new ways to find joy and a renewed passion for your work.Anna's biggest Integrative Nurse Coach Academy Nurse Coach Certificate Program takeaway: hold space, listen deeply, use silence well, and ease up on the “fix it” reflex.It's not all private practice.

The C.O.W.S. welcomes Admitted Racist Dr. Kylie Smith live from Australia. Classified as a White Woman, Dr. Smith “is an Associate Professor, tenured, and the Andrew W. Mellon Faculty Fellow for Nursing and the Humanities and Associate Faculty in the Department of History at Emory.” “She teaches courses on the history of race in health care, critical theory, and nursing theory and philosophy.” We'll discuss her 2026 publication, Jim Crow in the Asylum: Psychiatry and Civil Rights in the American South. This book examines how mental health facilities in so-called southern US states rigidly maintained and refined the System of White Supremacy. Dr. Smith highlights that the foundation of mental health facilities was about the maintenance of White Supremacy - which often means the confinement of black people. She reiterates what Dr. Welsing told us, White people do not think mental health remedies are for black people. We learn that Racists felt the best therapy for dark people was a good beating, and/or a hard day's work like back on the plantation.
