What do you do as a mental health provider when a client walks into your office and flat-out refuses to be there, is silent, or is disengaged?In this episode, Michael chats with psychotherapist and Motivational Interviewing trainer Kristen Dempsey about her book, Advancing Motivational Interviewing, and how to actually navigate those cases.They get into why Motivational Interviewing works so well when a client is stuck on the fence and how these skills end up being surprisingly useful outside the clinic, too. Kristen also breaks down how MI can help to build real connection early on, why our instinct to "fix" people almost always backfires, and how to work with mandated clients without getting into a power struggle. They also touch on practical group ideas, the whole concept of "lending hope," and how using MI might just save you from burning out.

Cash flow management tips matter because your business can survive without profit for a period of time, but it cannot survive without access to cash. About this episode Good cash flow management is vital, nay, critical, to the success of your business. Cash is what keeps the business moving. It pays bills, wages, suppliers, loans, tax, overheads, and the costs that keep everything running. In this episode, we share seven practical cash flow management tips to help your business stay on track. We look at cash reserves, cost control, inventory, leasing, equipment loans, borrowing at the right time, and why good financial advice can help you spot problems before they become painful. Cash flow may feel like one of the biggest headaches in business, but ignoring it makes the problem worse. With the right habits, we can protect cash, plan ahead, and reduce the risk of being caught out. What you'll learn in this episode Why cash flow is critical for business survivalWhy you can survive without profit for a time, but not without cashHow a cash reserve protects the business when things changeWhy cost consciousness matters even when cash is flowingHow poor inventory control can damage cash flowWhen leasing equipment may protect short-term cashWhy borrowing during good times can give you better optionsHow a good accountant can help with forecasting and budgets Why cash flow management matters Cash flow is the movement of money into and out of your business. It is the cash available to pay what needs to be paid, when it needs to be paid. Profit matters, but profit alone does not pay the bills if the money is not in the bank. A profitable business can still fail if cash is not managed properly. This is why we need to treat cash flow as a regular part of business management, not something we only look at when pressure builds. Our episode on How different is cash to profits? is a useful follow-on if you want to understand why profit and cash are not the same thing. “You can survive without making profits for a period of time, but you can't survive without access to cash.” 1. Create a cash reserve The first cash flow management tip is to create a cash reserve. A reserve gives your business a safety net when activity changes, costs rise, customers delay payment, or unexpected problems appear. As a rule of thumb, aim for three to six months of operating costs or average cash flow. Think about what your business would need if no more customers bought from you for a while. How much cash would keep the business ticking over? That figure becomes your target. It may take time to build, but having a reserve gives you breathing space and more control. 2. Stay cost conscious Cost consciousness is not about cutting everything. It is about developing financial discipline and keeping control of spending, even when cash is flowing into the business. Good times do not always last forever. If we cannot save money when things are going well, it becomes much harder to do it when things get tougher. A minimum viable budget can help. It gives you a practical spending framework, so growth does not turn into careless spending. For more practical planning support, our episode on Build Your Cash Flow with a Spreadsheet: Create a Practical Forecast shows how a simple forecast can help you look ahead. 3. Keep an eye on inventory If you run a product-based business, inventory can have a major impact on cash flow. Stock costs money to buy, money to hold, and money to manage. If too much cash is tied up in inventory, that cash is not available for wages, bills, tax, marketing, or other commitments. Poor stock control can also create hidden costs. Items may be misplaced, damaged, stored badly, or become obsolete. You may even end up ordering replacements you do not need. The aim is to hold enough inventory to meet demand, without overstocking or leaving cash trapped in slow-moving items. 4. Consider leasing equipment Buying equipment outright may be cheaper over the long term, but it can put pressure on short-term cash flow. Leasing may cost more overall, but it can reduce the immediate cash leaving the business. Instead of one large payment, the cost is spread over time. That can make cash flow easier to manage. Leasing may also give you options at the end of the agreement, such as buying the equipment or upgrading. The right choice depends on your business, your cash position, and how essential the equipment is. 5. Look at equipment loans An equipment loan is another way to fund business assets without paying the full cost upfront. It works in a similar way to a traditional bank loan, but it is linked to the equipment being financed. Depending on the lender, risk profile, terms, and business position, this may be suitable for some businesses. The key is to shop around, compare options, and understand the cash impact before committing. We should not only ask, “Can we afford the asset?” We also need to ask, “Can the business cash flow support the repayments?” 6. Borrow when the going is good This may sound strange, but borrowing when the business is in good shape can sometimes be smarter than waiting until there is a crisis. When finances are healthy, you may have more choice, stronger bargaining power, and better access to rates. If you wait until the business is already under pressure, borrowing may be harder, more expensive, or not available at all. Opening a line of credit before you need it can give the business flexibility. The point is not to borrow recklessly. It is to plan ahead and avoid leaving funding decisions until panic sets in. 7. Hire a good accountant Cash flow problems often sneak up on business owners. They should not, but they do. A good accountant can help you prepare budgets, build forecasts, review cash flow, and spot pressure points before they become serious. Looking through the windscreen of the business is much better than being surprised by what has already happened. That support can help you make better decisions around reserves, costs, stock, loans, leasing, and growth. If you need help with cash flow forecasting, budgeting, or financial planning, you can get in touch with us. Good cash flow management is about preparation Cash flow management is about preparing for the worst while keeping sensible financial habits when the going is good. That means building a reserve, staying cost conscious, watching inventory, thinking carefully before buying equipment, exploring suitable funding options, and getting support before cash pressure becomes urgent. Good habits make cash flow easier to manage. They also help your business stay resilient when things change.

Send us Fan MailShow NotesWhat happens when the systems designed to help people with serious mental illness become the very barriers preventing care?In Part 2 of this important conversation, Tony Mantor welcomes Dr. Aaron Meyer and Anne Marie Council for a candid discussion about the failures and possibilities within America's mental health system. Together, they explore why so many individuals spend years cycling through emergency rooms, jails, homelessness, and crisis without ever receiving the long-term treatment they truly need.The conversation examines the gap between policy and practice, the importance of housing with wraparound support, and why accountability—not simply creating more laws—may be the key to meaningful change.This episode challenges listeners to rethink assumptions about involuntary treatment, homelessness, public safety, and compassion while offering practical ways communities can advocate for a better behavioral health system.If you've ever wondered why so many people fall through the cracks, this conversation provides insight, hope, and a call to action. In This EpisodeWhy the "10-year loop" delays treatment for countless people living with serious mental illnessHow emergency rooms and jails have become default mental health providersThe importance of continuous support instead of one-time stabilizationWhy existing mental health laws are often not fully implementedThe need for more psychiatric beds and comprehensive treatment optionsHow housing combined with wraparound services can change livesThe role families and caregivers play in advocating for better careWhy stigma continues to prevent people from receiving helpThe importance of investigative journalism and public accountabilityPractical ways listeners can become advocates for change in their own communitiesWhy empathy and person-centered care must become the foundation of mental health policyKey TakeawaySerious mental illness is not a moral failing or a criminal issue—it is a healthcare issue. Until communities invest in accessible treatment, supportive housing, and systems that prioritize people over bureaucracy, too many individuals will continue cycling through crisis instead of recovery.Connect with Why Not Me?If this conversation resonated with you, please follow, rate, and share the podcast.

About this episodeGood cash flow management is vital for every business owner. It helps us plan ahead, deal with unexpected costs, manage spending, and make better decisions before problems become urgent. In this episode, we share seven practical strategies to make cash flow easier to manage. We look at cash reserves, cost control, inventory, leasing, equipment loans, borrowing at the right time, and why professional advice can help us spot problems early. Cash flow may feel like a headache, but it is one of the most important parts of business financial control. When we manage cash properly, we improve resilience, reduce pressure, and give the business a stronger chance of staying on track.What you'll learn in this episodeWhy cash flow management is critical for business survivalHow to build a cash reserve for unexpected costsWhy cost consciousness matters even when business is going wellHow poor inventory management can damage cash flowWhen leasing equipment may protect short-term cash reservesHow equipment loans can support business funding decisionsWhy borrowing during good times can improve your optionsHow an accountant can help with forecasting and financial planningWhy cash flow management mattersCash flow is about the money moving into and out of the business. If we cannot access enough cash to pay bills, staff, suppliers, rent, tax, or other commitments, the business can quickly come under pressure. We may be able to survive without profit for a short period. However, without cash, survival becomes much harder. That is why cash flow management needs regular attention, not just a last-minute panic when the bank balance looks low.“You can survive without making profits for a period of time, but you can't survive without access to cash.”Seven cash flow management strategies1. Create a cash reserveA cash reserve gives the business a safety net. It helps cover unforeseen costs, periods of reduced activity, weaker trading conditions, or unexpected disruption. A useful target is to aim for three to six months of operating costs or average cash flow. This gives us a buffer if customers stop buying, income slows down, or the business needs time to recover.2. Stay cost consciousCost consciousness is not about cutting everything. It is about spending with discipline and keeping a clear sense of what the business truly needs. Even when cash is flowing into the business, we should avoid unnecessary spending. Good times do not always last forever, and it is much easier to build good financial habits when the business is doing well. A minimum viable budget can help us decide what spending is essential and what can wait. For more support with planning income and spending, our episode on making your cashflow forecast is a practical next step.3. Keep control of inventoryFor product-based businesses, inventory has a direct impact on cash flow. Stock costs money to buy, store, manage, and replace. If we hold too much inventory, cash is tied up in stock that may not sell quickly. If stock becomes obsolete, damaged, misplaced, or poorly managed, we may end up wasting money or buying replacements we do not need. Good inventory control means holding enough stock to meet demand without overstocking or creating dead money inside the business.4. Consider leasing equipmentBuying equipment outright may be cheaper in the long term, but it can also damage cash reserves in the short term. Large purchases can put pressure on the bank balance, especially when funds are tight. Leasing can reduce the immediate cash outflow and make payments easier to plan. In some cases, leasing arrangements may also give us the option to buy the equipment later or upgrade at the end of the agreement.5. Look at equipment loansAn equipment loan can be another way to finance business assets without paying the full cost upfront. It works in a similar way to a traditional loan, but it is linked to the equipment being financed. The right option depends on the business, the equipment, the cost, and the repayment terms. The key point is to compare funding options before using up valuable cash reserves.6. Borrow when the going is goodBorrowing may feel unnecessary when business finances look healthy. However, that can be the best time to arrange funding or open a line of credit. When the business is in better financial shape, lenders may offer better terms and more choice. Waiting until the business is already under pressure can make borrowing harder, more expensive, or unavailable. This is closely linked to working capital. Our episode on why working capital is important for your business explains why short-term financial strength matters.7. Work with a good accountantCash flow problems often build up before business owners notice them. A good accountant can help us look ahead, review the numbers, prepare budgets, and build forecasts that support better decisions. At I Hate Numbers and Numbers Know How, we support clients with forecasting, budgeting, and looking through the windscreen of the business. That forward view helps us avoid being caught out by surprises.Why financial discipline matters in good timesStrong cash flow management is not only for difficult periods. It matters when business is going well too. If we cannot save money, control costs, and plan during stronger trading periods, it becomes much harder to do those things when conditions become tougher. By building reserves, reviewing costs, managing stock, and planning funding early, we give the business more room to breathe.Practical steps to improve cash flowReview your current cash position regularlySet a target cash reserve based on operating costsCreate or update your cash flow forecastKeep spending aligned with a realistic budgetCheck whether stock is tying up too much cashCompare leasing, loans, and outright purchases before buying equipmentSpeak to an accountant before cash flow problems become urgentRelated episodesBuild Your Cash Flow with a Spreadsheet: Create a Practical ForecastCash Flow Management Tips : 5 Essential TipsSix steps to managing your cashflowKey takeawayCash flow management is about preparing for the worst while keeping sensible financial habits in place when the going is good. A cash reserve, cost control, better inventory management, sensible funding choices, and professional advice can help protect the business from avoidable pressure.

Whether it's creativity, productivity, or everyday decisions, we perform better when we narrow the field and work within clear boundaries.Through stories – from failed tech startups with too many ideas to elite performers who thrive under restrictions – he shows how constraints help us prioritize, think differently, and follow through. Even creativity, he argues, doesn't come from endless freedom, but from being boxed in just enough to spark better solutions.If you've ever felt stuck, scattered, or overloaded with choices, this episode offers a simple reframe: you don't need more options – just better constraints.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeHow constraints improve creativity, focus, and performanceWhy too much choice leads to overwhelm and worse decisionsWhy creativity thrives with fewer optionsHow distractions are training your brain to lose focusWhy doing less often leads to better resultsKey Highlights: (0:00) Intro – Constraints, Overwhelm, and Why This Matters(3:37) Meet David Epstein(6:19) From Range to Constraints(8:18) The Dizziness of Freedom(12:05) The Creativity Myth(14:04) The Green Eggs and Ham Effect(16:32) Constraints-Led Approach Skill Learning(19:38) Futsal & Constraints in Sport(21:16) The General Magic Story(32:53) HARKing in Science(51:51) Think Slow, Act Fast(55:57) Creativity vs. Originality(1:00:26) Constraints in Parenting(1:10:19) Commitment Devices(1:16:06) Make Your Commitments Visible(1:16:52) Reclaiming Your Attention(1:21:49) Book Recommendation & ClosingHuge thanks to our sponsors, LMNT, Momentous, Vitality, and Kreatures of Habit

In this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice Haney sits down with Dr. Thaïs Aliabadi to break down endometriosis, an often misunderstood condition that goes far beyond painful periods. Dr. A explains why endometriosis is a systemic inflammatory disorder, the wide range of symptoms it can cause, and why so many patients are dismissed or misdiagnosed for years before getting answers.They discuss how endometriosis presents, from chronic pelvic pain and bloating to bladder, bowel, and even mental health symptoms, and why it can't reliably be detected through standard imaging. Dr. A also covers how the condition can impact fertility, ovarian reserve, and overall quality of life if left untreated.The episode also walks through treatment options, including hormonal therapies, IUDs, medications that suppress estrogen, and the importance of finding a highly trained surgeon for laparoscopic excision. This conversation offers both validation and clear guidance for anyone struggling with symptoms and looking for real answers.Subscribe to SHE MD Podcast for expert tips on PCOS, endometriosis, fertility, hormonal balance, mental health, and more.

Why Brutal Honesty Is the Missing Link to Retirement Success for Gay MenWhat if the reason you haven't achieved retirement success yet isn't the market, your income, or your age—but your relationship with the truth about your money?In this episode of Queer Money, we get radically honest about the quiet habit that keeps most gay men financially stressed well into midlife: avoiding the full truth about how we earn, spend, and use money to cope. Not because we're bad with money—but because honesty feels unsafe when money has long been tied to identity, belonging, and survival.Many gay men over 45 believe they're doing “fine.” The bills are paid. The lifestyle looks good. But underneath that calm exterior is often anxiety, denial, and a nagging sense that retirement success feels farther away than it should. That's not a spending problem. It's an honesty problem.In this conversation, we unpack why so many of us:Overestimate how well we're doingUnderestimate how much we actually spendConfuse gross income with real financial capacityAvoid the numbers because we're afraid of what they'll sayWe also explore the deeper emotional layer: how growing up queer taught many of us to perform success, buy safety, and fund the appearance of being chosen—often at the expense of long-term financial independence.Key Takeaways for Retirement Success:Why net income is the only number your life actually runs onHow emotional spending becomes a lifelong coping mechanismWhy financial freedom isn't unlimited spending—it's having optionsHow guardrails create freedom without killing joyThree simple actions you can take this week to regain controlWe also share how getting honest about our own money story helped us pay off $51,000 in credit card debt, reach Coast FI, and create work that supports our lives instead of draining them.Retirement success isn't about pretending you're fine.It's about telling yourself the truth—and building from there.If you want less stress, more choice, and a real path to financial independence, this episode is your starting point.Download the Happy Gay Retirement Calculator here: https://queermoneypodcast.com/hgrcalcChapters:00:00 - Intro00:45 - The Truth01:35 - Spending Problems?02:27 - Lack of Knowledge02:58 - Avoidance03:40 - Misconception04:25 - Getting Brutal05:47 - Authority06:36 - OutroMentioned in this episode:

There's no shortage of advice online about moving abroad, and most of it sounds responsible and well-intentioned. But after helping hundreds of people plan real moves across different countries, visas, timelines, and life situations, I've noticed something important:Moves rarely fall apart because people aren't serious enough. They fall apart because of a handful of very common, reasonable mistakes - the kind you don't even realize you're making.In this episode, I'm walking you through the 5 mistakes I see all the time:Why getting attached to one “dream country” too early can derail your optionsHow considering rent instead of your entire budget leads to unnecessary financial panicHow trying to DIY a visa creates more stress, delays, and expensesWhy visas, taxes, and business structure must be looked at together (not one at a time)The simple reminder to keep you from postponing your move forever: you can always fly home.If any of these sound familiar, it doesn't mean you're doing something wrong. It means you're doing something big, and you're learning how to do it better.Remember: You don't need perfection or certainty. Moving to another country requires flexibility, quality information, and intentional decisions made in the right order.Subscribe and ReviewIf you loved this episode, please take a moment to subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts!

Every leader has blind spots. Not because they're careless or incompetent — but because they're human.In this episode, Dex shares a formative leadership mistake from early in his career and uses it to unpack how beliefs, biases, and unexamined assumptions quietly shape leadership decisions. Often at a cost.You'll explore why blind spots exist, how they show up under pressure, and the practical signals that tell you when one is running the show. Dex also explains why self-awareness alone isn't enough — and how coaching (human and AI) can help you see what you literally cannot see on your own.This is about leadership maturity, not self-criticism.In this episode:A real leadership succession mistake — and the lesson it taughtWhy beliefs quietly limit leadership optionsHow bias forms early and becomes invisibleCommon leadership blind spots (imposter syndrome, people problems, indecision, perfectionism)Why emotional reactivity is often the clueHow coaching helps rewire outdated beliefsWhere AI coaching helps — and where it doesn'tPractical AI prompts to surface blind spots fastPractical prompts mentioned:“What am I not seeing in this situation?”“How can I identify my leadership blind spots?”“What's an effective next step with this team member?”“How can I resolve this conflict without sacrificing my deadlines?”Resources:Dex AI Coach: https://dexrandall.comLeadership coaching with Dex: https://go.dexrandall.com/leadershipIf leadership feels heavier than it should right now, this episode will help you loosen the grip — without losing authority.Send us a text----------------------------------- Resources:Start 1-on-1 coaching at https:/mini.dexrandall.comLead Better with Dex AI Coach https://app.coachvox.ai/share/dexrandallConfidential.

Being busy is not the same thing as building a sustainable design business. I learned that the hard way. In this episode, I walk you through why offering everything keeps you stuck, how one $10k signature offer can simplify your business, and why brand strategy is the key to staying relevant as a brand and web designer in a world full of templates and AI tools. This is the exact shift that helped me stop chasing random projects and start building a business that feels intentional, confident, and scalable as a design business owner and creative CEO.You will learn:Why clients trust designers with one clear offer more than endless optionsHow brand strategy positions you above execution and AI toolsWhat actually makes a $10k offer feel justified to clientsWhy simplifying your services leads to better clients and easier salesHow to stop being treated like a freelancer and start leading like a creative CEOGrab a cup of coffee, your notes, and get ready to rethink how to get graphic design clients without offering everything to everyone.Aventive Academy's Resources:From Crickets to Clients: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/crickets-to-clients/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠$12k Client Attraction Masterclass: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/attract-clients-workshop/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Client Portal for Designers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/client-portal/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Wealthy Client Blueprint: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/wealthy-client/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mockup Magic: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/mockup-magic/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Brand Guidelines Template: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/brand-guidelines/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ 12-Week Business Program for Designers: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/profit⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Join My Weekly Newsletter: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventive-academy.ck.page/0fc86a336f⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ The Creative CEO Accelerator: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://aventiveacademy.com/accelerator⁠⁠⁠

This is our annual “what to expect in the new year” episode, and our hot take is “affordability” is about to be the most overused, and least understood, word of 2026. You're going to hear it everywhere, and this week, we're explaining why that should make you a little nervous.We break down why affordability is becoming the new catch-all word for economic stress, how it's being used to sell certainty in an unstable system, and why more people are about to find themselves saying, “I thought I could afford it.”If you're trying to plan, decide, or stabilize in the year ahead, this episode is your reminder to stop accepting affordability at face value and start defining it in a way that actually protects your life.We get into:Why affordability is always relative, and why it changes faster than people admitThe danger of treating percentages (25%, 30%, 10%) like universal lawsHow 2026 pricing strategies will make more things feel affordable in the momentThe difference between being broke and being overextendedWhy something can fit the budget and still cost you peace, flexibility, or future optionsHow to spot the signs that something isn't actually affordable anymoreA more honest question to ask before you say yes to buying something you think you can “afford” Connect with Julien and Kiersten on our website, Instagram, Twitter, and YouTube.Join our email list to get updates from us, opportunities for discounts, freebies and a quick rundown on the relevant financial and career news impacting your life.

Our nervous systems form the foundation of how we move through the world. It is the filter for our thoughts, behaviors, and interpretations.And when our nervous systems are dysregulated, it impacts how we show up for ourselves, our loved ones, and those we lead.Emotional regulation isn't as simple as a human equivalent of turning your computer off and on again. But it is an essential practice to learn to notice dysregulation, and develop skills and practices to bring us back when we've spiraled or disconnected.As we head into another year of challenges and uncertainty, personally and societally, I'm coming back to my conversation on Polyvagal Theory with Deb Dana from earlier this year, which also happens to be the most downloaded episode of 2025. When the stakes are high, it only makes sense that so many of us are looking for ways to cope. Polyvagal practice offers a compassionate map to ourselves, and helps us build the adaptability, curiosity, compassion, and connection that are most needed in leadership right now.Deb Dana, LCSW, is a clinician, consultant, author, and international lecturer on polyvagal theory-informed work with trauma survivors and is the leading translator of this scientific work to the public and mental health professionals. She's a founding member of the Polyvagal Institute and creator of the signature Rhythm of Regulation® clinical training series.Deb's work shows us how understanding polyvagal theory applies across the board to relationships, mental health, and trauma. She delves into the intricacies of how we can all use and understand the organizing principles of polyvagal theory to change the ways we navigate our daily lives.Listen to the full episode to hear:How regulation practices help us build the capacity to return to ourselves when we've been challengedHow subconscious survival responses hijack our ability to problem solve and narrow our optionsHow tiny moments of noticing can add up to big changes in your capacity to find regulationWhy we need skills for coming back to regulation in order to engage with discomfort and struggle in our lives and in the worldHow leaders can create connected, collaborative environments for themselves and those they leadLearn more about Deb Dana:Rhythm of RegulationLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Stephen PorgesThe Nightingale, Kristin HannahBlue: The History of a Color, Michel PastoureauCéline Dion, Andrea Bocelli - The PrayerHalloween Baking ChampionshipHoliday Baking ChampionshipThe Great British Baking Show

See you in the New Year! ==“We have to keep in mind that urticaria has to be treated until it's completely gone. So, absolute control of the disease.” — Dr. Hermenio LimaChronic spontaneous urticaria has long been managed with the goal of complete symptom control. But for many patients, that goal remains elusive. In this episode of The Allergist, Dr. Mariam Hanna talks with dermatologist and clinical immunologist Dr. Hermenio Lima about the updated urticaria guidelines—and how new treatment options are giving clinicians more ways to act, and more hope for getting patients all the way to control.On this episode:What's new in the 2025 guideline—including additional second-line options beyond antihistaminesWhy nearly 40% of patients may need to escalate to biologicsHow remibrutinib compares to omalizumab and what its trials revealedWhat the CUPID studies say about dupilumab, especially in biologic-naive patientsKey safety signals and clinical considerations for the new treatment optionsHow to move toward full disease control—and why suboptimal outcomes are no longer acceptableComplete control is still the destination, but the path to get there is about to get a lot more flexible.Visit the Canadian Society of Allergy and Clinical ImmunologyFind an allergist using our helpful toolFind Dr. Hanna on X, previously Twitter, @PedsAllergyDoc or CSACI @CSACI_caThe Allergist is produced for CSACI by PodCraft Productions

She's a certified hypnobirthing instructor, a DONA-certified doula, and a childbirth educator who also trains doulas. Care teaches engaging, partner-friendly online classes that have helped many families prepare for birth with more clarity and confidence.We get into what it means to prepare early, why most women don't realize how much choice they actually have, and what it looks like to create a safe, grounded birth experience inside a hospital system. From power dynamics with providers to the small, practical things that shift your sense of safety, this conversation breaks down what women and their partners need to know before walking through those hospital doors.You'll Learn:Why choosing the right hospital and provider early changes everythingWhat it feels like to enter a system where you're treated as room number instead of a person giving birthWhy staying home longer in early labor can dramatically shift your hospital experienceThe surprising link between hospital C-section rates and NICU levelsHow eye masks, dim lights, and warm blankets keep your body in labor modeWhen partners step into the role of protector and advocate in the birth roomThe quiet damage of being a passive participant versus owning your birth decisionsWhy hospital classes often train you to be a “good patient” instead of giving you real optionsHow listening to birth stories helps you recognize and avoid common intervention cascadesTimestamps:[00:00] Introduction[03:00] How preparation and safety shape the hospital birth experience[09:22] Rethinking what safety really means in birth[13:01] Choosing the right hospital, provider, and birth team[20:20] The partner's role in protecting space and shifting power dynamics[36:37] Practical ways to protect labor hormones in a hospital birth[50:15] Arming with education and optimizing the hospital environment for laborResources Mentioned:Episode 65: All About VBAC pt.1: Perspectives from an OB, Midwife, and Doula with Care Messer | Spotify or AppleBirth Education Center | WebsiteBucky Eye Mask | AmazonThe Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk M.D. | Book or AudiobookMen, Love & Birth by Mark Harris | Book or AudiobookLabor Like A Goddess by Alexandria Moran and Lauren Mahana | BookBirth Psychology | WebsiteMorgan's First Birth | VideoLearn more about the Birth Education Care by visiting their website, YouTube channel, and Facebook page.Follow Care on Instagram, LinkedIn and listen to her Podcast on Apple or Spotify.Find more from Leah:Leah Gordon | InstagramLeah Gordon | WebsiteLeah Gordon | WebsiteFind more from Morgan:Morgan MacDermott | InstagramMorgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHER

Could everything you've been told about bone scans be outdated?In this game-changing episode, I welcome back Dr. Andy Bush, orthopedic surgeon and bone health innovator, to explore a revolutionary new technology: REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi Spectrometry).Unlike the traditional DEXA scan that only measures bone density, REMS analyzes bone strength, structure, and real fracture risk. Together, we break down what REMS actually does, why it matters, and how it's reshaping the future of osteoporosis diagnosis and prevention—especially for women who want to avoid unnecessary medications and take charge of their health.What You'll Learn:Why T-scores and DEXA scans are incomplete—and sometimes misleadingHow REMS technology uses sound waves to assess true bone strengthWhat a Fragility Score is and how it can predict fracture risk more accuratelyWhy orthopedic surgeons like Dr. Bush are leading the shift to structural bone assessmentsThe importance of viewing bones through a mechanical AND biological lensHow muscle loss (sarcopenia) and bone loss are linked—and what you can do about itWhy women deserve more than a “diagnosis and a drug” when it comes to bone healthDebi's Takeaway:Your bones are more than a number. What we need is not just more medication, but better diagnostics and stronger education. REMS is offering both — and giving women the power to understand their real risk and make informed decisions.About Dr. Andy Bush:Dr. Andy Bush is a board-certified orthopedic surgeon based in North Carolina. After 30+ years of surgically repairing fractures, he now leads a prevention-focused bone clinic using REMS technology to assess and improve structural bone health—without radiation or outdated density-based models. You can find out more about Dr. Bush here.

I'm sharing a crash course on menopause—originally presented as a one-hour lecture to second-year medical students. Whether you're a provider looking to strengthen your evidence-based approach or a woman navigating the transition yourself, this episode delivers a high-level overview of what you need to know about menopause.We cover:What actually defines menopause and how it's diagnosedKey hormonal shifts and their ripple effects across the bodyHealth risks associated with the menopausal transition (including bone, brain, and cardiovascular health)Hormone therapy: risks, benefits, and clinical considerationsNon-hormonal therapy optionsHow to personalize treatment for your patient's symptoms, risk profile, and goalsThis is the bird's-eye view—concise, practical, and empowering.

Is a single number determining your treatment plan? For many women, the T-score from a DEXA scan becomes the full story of their bone health. But what if that story is incomplete—or even misleading?In this episode, I sit down with orthopedic surgeon Dr. Andy Bush, who has shifted his focus from fixing fractures to preventing them. Together, we dive into the flaws of the traditional DEXA scan, why your T-score might not reflect your actual fracture risk, and the power of a better diagnostic: REMS (Radiofrequency Echographic Multi-Spectrometry).If you've ever been told you have osteoporosis — or felt confused and fearful about your scan results—this is the episode for you.

What if your pain, irritation, or sexual discomfort was being dismissed because no one ever taught your doctor how to look for the real cause?There's a reason vulvar conditions like lichen sclerosus are often missed or misdiagnosed—and it's not because they're rare. It's because most doctors aren't trained to recognize the signs. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Jill Krapf, a dedicated gynecologist and vulvar skin expert, to unpack the truth about vulvar dermatoses, why it takes so long to get diagnosed, and what can be done when scarring, pain, and sexual dysfunction start taking over your life.We don't just skim the surface—we go deep into the subtle (and not-so-subtle) symptoms, the stories of people who were told nothing was wrong when something clearly was, and what really works when managing chronic vulvar skin conditions. Jill also shares insights about how women of color are even more likely to be overlooked and misdiagnosed because of gaps in training and representation in medical education.If you've ever been told “it's just in your head,” or if you've silently dealt with vulvar discomfort, pain with sex, or itching that won't go away—this episode is a must. There is real hope and effective care available. You just need to know where to look—and what to ask.

While her upbringing was not conventional, Kirsten knew she was destined for greatness and listened to her gut from a very young age.
