This week I am getting caught up with my cousin, Erin Lonsway, who lives in Youngstown, OH and is an active member of the community. Erin has a retail store downtown that has had many challenges, and she is also responsible for carrying on the work her mother started when she was diagnosed with ovarian cancer and eventually died in 2012. I wanted to invite Erin on the podcast because September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness month and because I wanted to celebrate her positive approach to life and the positive impact she has on the community I grew up in. She definitely is a role model for the power of community and collaboration and the positive ripple effect on the people around her is something to be acknowledged and  celebrated.I am sharing the website links and email addresses to learn more about the RMFOCF foundation and Erin's store Bella Amica.RMFOCF.orgRmfocf@yahoo.comBellaAmicaShop.comBellaAmicaShop@gmail.comClick on the platform of your choice to listen to the latest podcast episode, follow the podcast, and write a review so we can spread the news and reach more people!  Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-power-of-community-collaboration-in-sb-podcast/id1548758744Spotify https://open.spotify.com/show/4RWxW7Ni1EHTAywriOwY9z?si=d9c181834529414dGoogle Podcasts https://podcasts.google.com/search/The%20Brain%20BS%20PodcastAmazon Music https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/09208f98-6c21-4fea-abbf-14a495cabd09/the-brain-bs-podcast-learning-to-live-consciouslyI Heart Radiohttps://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-the-brain-bs-podcast-learn-76710324/Pandorahttps://www.pandora.com/podcast/the-brain-bs-podcast-learning-to-live-consciously/PC:60845  If you want to get in touch with me or connect to get creative about a collaboration, click on the link below.https://www.thebrainbs.com/

Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month is held every year in February to raise awareness about it and highlight the challenges faced by those diagnosed and their families. About 1,550 women in Australia are diagnosed with ovarian cancer each year. We speak to Dr Maryam Akrawi from Melbourne about the diagnosis and the symptoms. - Meha Hişmendiya Penceşêra Hêkdankê her sal di meha Şibatê de tê li dar xistin da ku hişyariyê li ser kansêra hêkdankê wate ovarian cancer zêde bike û pirsgirêkên kesên ku hatine teşxîskirin û malbatên wan rû bi rû dibin ron bike. Her sal li Australya nêzikî 1,550 jin bi kansêra hêkdankê dikevin. Em derbarê vê mijarê bi Dr Meryem Eqrawî re ji Melbourne diaxafin.

February is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, bringing attention to the disease, which is the sixth leading cause of female cancer deaths in Australia. Often diagnosed late due to symptoms being missed, it's essential to understand risk factors and recognise early warning signs for prompt detection. In a podcast, Melbourne-based gynaecologist Dr Preeti Khillan explains ovarian cancer, providing valuable insights into its complexities, risk factors, and crucial early symptoms for timely diagnosis.

In recognition of Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, Mater Private Hospital Townsville Gynaecologist Dr Sally Aubrey shares her insights into the signs and symptoms to be aware of as well as the effects of menopause.To learn more about Mater, visit mater.org.au.

In this episode of The Business of Non-Profits, we speak with Rachel Freeman from The Clearity Foundation about scaling a Non-Profit to further their program reach. We'll learn about the challenges they've surmounted along the way, how change has transformed the team, and where they are going next!   contact information: info@clearity.org Clearity.org Donate to save lives. Steps Through OC Clearity Podcast     Transcript: 00:30 Stacey Lund: Hello. You're listening to the business of nonprofits. With me today is Rachel Freeman from the Clearity foundation. Rachel is a seasoned human resources and operations professional. Today we're going to learn how Clearity scales to increase its program reach. We'll learn about the challenges they've surrounded along the way, how change has transformed the team and where they're going next. Rachel, thanks so much for joining us. Why don't you take a few minutes and introduce yourself, your role at Clearity, and the impactful work the Clearity Foundation does? 01:03 Rachel Freeman: Thanks, Stacey. Hi, everyone. I'm Rachel Freeman. I'm the director of HR and operations for the Clearity Foundation. I started working with Clearity in 2020, right at the beginning stages of the pandemic. I left the corporate scene just a few years before that and was consulting in human resources and project management. After helping the Clearity team for a few months, I was struck by the compassion and the passion that was displayed by each of the people that I worked with. To a person, concern, and thoughtfulness for the women they supported were at the core of every decision and conversation they had, and I just knew I had to be part of the team. Clearity works to improve the survival and quality of life of women with ovarian cancer. It's one of the most difficult diagnoses to receive, especially since it's typically diagnosed in the late stages. We meet these women and their loved ones where they're at and walk through this journey with them on their terms. That might mean helping them understand the science behind their disease and treatment options, locating an appropriate clinical trial, or managing the stress and anxiety that can be overwhelming in their situation. All our services are free of charge. Our individual personalized support is driven by the needs of each of the teal women that come to us. 02:25 Stacey Lund: It's such an amazing mission and in some cases, heartbreaking. So, I can't even imagine working in that environment and literally impacting lives. Every single participant you touch truly, truly has a change that you can see and measure just from your involvement in their lives. And that's so huge. So, thank you so much for the work you do. Clearly, the Pandemic was a busy time. It was a busy time for everyone. But Clearity had some non-pandemic-related work that happened. You had a lot of things occur all at the same time while the Pandemic was happening. Tell us a little bit about that, about the landscape, kind of how you came in, the assessments you did, taking on another assimilating, another small startup like. How did that work? Tell me about that. 03:25 Rachel Freeman: Most of the Clearity team was already working remotely and virtually prior to the pandemic, and so part of what I did was help them get set up to be as efficient virtually as they were in the office. The biggest challenge that they were having at that point is they had reached the point in the growth of the organization where they weren't really a startup anymore, but they weren't big and stabilized. They were right at the beginning of a steep growth trajectory and the Pandemic just adds a layer of complexity to that for sure. But what we were looking at doing at that point was not only getting the team virtual for safety reasons but also looking for ways to find efficiencies and scalability in our processes and procedures so that we could handle the influx of participants that we were really expecting to see. 04:23 Stacey Lund: Okay, so during the Pandemic you also it sounds like scaling was an issue and you had recognized that, but you were also acquiring and assimilating this another program. So, you had additional tech, you were also taking on board. Talk a little bit about that. 4:43 Rachel Freeman: Just prior to the Pandemic, we had been working with a pilot program called Steps Through OC, which provided psychosocial support to women with ovarian cancer. And just before the Pandemic started, we brought them in as a full program of Clearity. And so, they had been operating on completely different technology platforms, and organizational structures, everything was separate because they had been operating as a separate organization prior to that point. And so quite a bit of the scalability that we needed to do was also finding the efficiencies and consistency in the way people are doing their work at Clearity. 05:29 Stacey Lund: Absolutely. You're looking at the scale and you're looking at what you do internally and how they work, trying to come up with a happy medium. So how did you know? What was the trigger for you that something had to change? Was it something from the board? What happened? 05:52 Rachel Freeman: It was a little bit of both. So, the acquisition brought in a number of new participants that have been looking for something different than our core services at that time were scientific support and education around the treatment decisions that women were focusing on. What we found was that adding this new service allowed us to give more holistic support to the women and their families, but it also increased the number of people that were being referred to our scientific program and vice versa. We knew that we needed to scale, and we needed to find these efficiencies because we were looking at such a steep growth in our projections for the participants that we were bringing in. 06:52 Stacey Lund: Excellent. A lot of people will say getting started is the hardest part. So how did you start, what did you take on, and how did you parse the work? How did you approach this? 06:55 Rachel Freeman: The biggest and most important pieces of these transitions is the change management and actually doing that prep work before you get started. Because there were these distinct teams that had been operating independently from each other, it was really important to have the buy in of the leadership team and to make sure that not only was everyone accepting what needed to come up, but they really understood the benefits to it and they wanted this to happen. Because it's one thing to say, theoretically I'm on board, I want to grow this program by 500% in the next year. But when that means that now you've got to have a request that you put in for something that you just did quickly yourself, that gets hard very quickly. So it was really important that we had the why really established before we got started. 07:53 Stacey Lund: Absolutely. And I think the more competent you are in your field, at your work, the harder it is to feel uncomfortable and sort of incompetent and make that shift. Nobody likes to feel like they're not good at what they do and this just compounded it over time, right? Let's talk specifics about one of the improvements that you made and you did it fairly quickly, was centralizing sort of operational support. Talk about that specifically in terms of how did you get the buy in on that and how did you announce it, what did you do there? 08:35 Rachel Freeman: So that was actually one of the simpler but most foundational pieces of what we did for the scalability and efficiency analysis was establishing this centralized operational support for the organization They were all operating independently. There wasn't any efficiencies between them. If two different departments were looking for similar support, they would have to be two different skill sets or two different people, or at least one person trained in two different processes. And so the buy-in was actually fairly simple. We're going to take some stuff off your plate. You guys are going to get to focus on the things that got you into this business to begin with. It was the implementation of that that saw the challenges. 09:28 Stacey Lund: Absolutely. I think that's a good segue into what were the challenges you saw and how did you work them out? Or maybe you didn't. 09:37 Rachel Freeman: I think the biggest challenge is just that people have a different environment that they work in when they're working independently of each other. One department calls the women that we support participants and we have another one that might call them patients or that might call them teal women, or just the terminology all of the normal things that are just part of everyday work. And the challenge was really that they were all functioning well. There were no issues. And so we were really going in specifically to fix something that wasn't broken. And so it's really important to bring it back to that big picture to remind of the why and just because you have to send in this request that you could do yourself in 30 minutes. If you send in a request and it takes somebody else 15 minutes and it saves somebody in a different department an hour, it's still worth it. And so really just kind of putting it into perspective and getting everybody to take a step back and look at that bigger picture and the benefits that will come out of it. 10:48 Stacey Lund: I know data was a huge impetus both for some of your changes but also some of the discomfort. But in your case, every group knew their data like cold. You could ask someone specifically how many participants were at a certain stage or how many participants enrolled in. So, talk a little bit about the data challenge and the specifics of feeling of the loss of control of data. How did you try to partner with them to let them know it would be okay? And how did you work that? 11:27 Rachel Freeman: The data is actually still in process. This is a transition that we're going through right now and it's a loss of control for the data. But I don't think that that's the motivation behind it. It's the lack of personalization that causes the frustration. So, you're right. We have a scientific team that's working with some medical records and then we have our psychosocial team that's working with people's mental health even though they're not providing therapy. They were always keeping their data very separate and private as they should as well. And then our development team has financial information from people and that's different but equal level of privacy. And so all three of them were very separate in their databases but had such a high touch and a connection to the people that they were working with that they didn't need a database. They could tell you each and every one. And so as wonderful as that is and as much as that contributes to the environment and to the level of support and connection we have with the people that we support, the scalability factor of that is a little tough because there's only a certain number of people that you can connect that deeply with. The ability to let technology support the scalability of the data and the storage of the data and the efficiency of the data management, it's difficult because it feels like it's less personal. There's a lot of it that we're looking for ways to have that technology help and augment the personal connection so that it's not something that's taking away that control, it's something that's giving more control. 13:11 Stacey Lund: I love that, right? Because the whole point of a business, any business, but especially a nonprofit, should be connection, it should be a really good customer experience. That's frictionless, right? It's all about the people we serve. So I love that it came from that heart of service, right. It's not just cost savings or even fundraising. It's truly, it's truly from a place of service. Talk a little bit about your successes. What were they and how did you communicate them to the team to get more support and get buy in that it's working? 13:49 Rachel Freeman: in the last two years, we've increased the capacity for our emotional support sessions by 44% with the same counseling team. But being able to be that much more focused on supporting the women at the way that only they can and taking the things off of their plate that they don't need to be doing. And then we've also cut our operating expenses by 28% in the last year. And that's even with the investment in technology that we've been making. 14:23 Stacey Lund: Rachel, that's huge. And I think one of the other interesting things, because I know a little bit about the inside of this organization, it's not just the numbers, right? You have that and I know the counselors feel it. They feel that they're doing more and they're reaching more people, which is so gratifying for them. And your C suite and your board probably love the cut and operational expenses in addition to that. So if you had one nugget of advice, one little pearl of wisdom for somebody who was looking at I'm not even talking the same redesign that you've done, but just maybe a digital transformation or a tech project, what would your piece of advice be? 15:08 Rachel Freeman: Start the change management early and spend more time on that than you do on the implementation. So make sure that you've got the buy in, the leadership all the way down, and that you have a very clearly articulated why behind the change. So that when it does get tough and frustrating, you have something to point back to, to say, this is why this is worth it. 15:31 Stacey Lund: You had talked in our prep meeting about the team transformation. That along the way, as you do a digital transformation or a big change project, the team itself reacts differently. Talk to us a little bit about that because I think that's important. 15:51 Rachel Freeman: At different stages of an organization's growth, there are different environments that you're working in, and people gravitate towards those environments. So some people really like to work with a startup organization. They're very entrepreneurial. They like the fast pace, the immediate impact. And some people like to work in a more fully grown, stable organization. They like the consistency. They like the structure, and there's pros and cons to both ways. And so when you start with the role, you are drawn to where that environment is when you're looking at the organization and you're looking at the job, and as the organization grows, the team may or may not transform along with it. So as we move into a growth phase and we're looking at building that structure and the stability, you have to have the right people in the right positions at the right time. And that, at the right time, is the piece that a lot of people forget. 16:55  Stacey Lund: Yeah. And it isn't personal on either side. Right. It truly is. It is a personality fit, and some people just recognize it right away. That's the remarkable thing. And I think that is big because I think a lot of organizations assume everyone is going to be along for the ride, right. And everyone is not. They're not 17:21 Rachel Freeman: And the best thing that the organization can do for themselves and for their team is to acknowledge that and assist people in finding the role or the niche that's right for them 17:30 Stacey Lund: Okay. So I want to give you a minute to talk about Teal Woman because you have these exciting once a year events for your participants and their families and to recognize people. So talk a little bit about that and then tell us how we can learn more. 17:35 Rachel Freeman: Absolutely. So September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, and we have a number of different activities. We're out there. The Clearity team is out there. Our ambassadors are out there just making sure to raise awareness around ovarian cancer in our communities. And we've had a number of government buildings that have been light up in teal for us, which is just wonderful. We also have our flagship Gala in September, which is called Teal Woman. And we have just a wonderful program lined up. There's an in person local event at the Fairmont Grand del Mar that will allow for people to bid on live auctions. We have a speed painter who is always very popular. I just love watching her do her work. And then we also have a live broadcast on the 22nd that is nationwide. And there's an auction in there as well and a lot of just really wonderful speakers and just getting the community together to celebrate the successes and comfort each other's losses and really look towards the future of ovarian cancer support. 19:09 Stacey Lund: Excellent. So for the rest of you listening, Clearity is at www.Clearity.org if you'd like to donate. And I can't stress again what an amazing organization this is that's Clearityfoundation.org/donate. Even if you don't know someone who's an ovarian cancer survivor, I really recommend if you know anyone who's been touched by cancer, check out Clearity's website. My mom had about a horrible bout with lung cancer and I really wish that I had found this discussion. There's a podcast that Clearity puts out that talks about all sorts of psychosocial things and as a caregiver, it would have been so gratifying and just so grounding to have some of those resources. So please, even if you're not ovarian cancer survivor or you don't know someone who is, but you've been touched by cancer, it's a great place to start. And I know if you're interested in ovarian cancer support, Clearity is a great resource. So please check them out. Rachel, I can't say enough how awesome it is to work with you. Rachel is ferocious. So if you'd like to talk to her, you can also reach her through the Clearity.org website and find out more about their efforts. Thank you so much.

Hillary Theakston, Executive Director of The Clearity Foundation, talks about September's Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month; the Foundation's fundraising events; and the free programs offered to those with ovarian cancer.

Ovarian cancer is the deadliest gynecological cancer today. With the much-needed innovation in ovarian cancer research, it's crucial women understand the complexity and potential for change in this disease. For Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, we spoke with Oriana Papin-Zoghbi, the CEO and Co-founder of AOA Dx. AOA Dx is a biotech company focused on early-stage ovarian cancer detection, actively spreading awareness and working toward solutions for women's health issues. In this episode, we discuss current insights into ovarian cancer research and prognosis. Oriana shares some ovarian cancer stories and what AOA Dx is doing to help women catch the disease early. We cover the average ovarian cancer survival rate, some symptoms of ovarian cancer, and ways to advocate for better testing in women's health. Discussed in this episode: Ovarian cancer statistics  What can women do to catch early signs of ovarian cancer? Difficulties doctors and women face in ovarian cancer diagnosis  Current diagnostic testing processes  The founding story of AOA Dx Why has it been so hard to get a diagnosis for ovarian cancer? Where AOA Dx is headed next Ways to medically advocate for yourself if you feel something's wrong “The biggest thing I would say to women is: listen to your body. If you know that something is off, advocate for yourself. More medical testing is better— because the consequence of missing this cancer at early stages is far greater than paying for more tests.” - Oriana Papin-Zoghbi Related to this episode: Ovarian Cancer: Why Awareness is Critical and What You Need to Know More episodes on female-related cancer AOA Dx Website Follow AOA Dx on LinkedIn Follow AOA Dx on Instagram If you want to support this women's health podcast, leave a review for Fempower Health on iTunes or Spotify.

Episode Description: Paulinda Schimmel Babbinis life turned upside down in 2004 when her 17 year old daughter, Robin, was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer. She lost her dynamic life just 2 ½ years after her diagnosis. To honor Robin's memory and shine a light on her legacy, Paulinda founded the non-profit, The Ovarian Cancer Circle/Inspired By Robin Babbini. Paulinda and I talk about losing a child, finding her purpose and how we can stop Ovarian Cancer. Show Notes: Connect with: Paulinda! Websites: www.theovariancancercircle.org IG: Instagram: ovariancancercircle FB: The Ovarian Cancer Circle/Inspired By Robin Babbini Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulinda-schimmel-45b348a/ Guest Bio: Paulinda Schimmel Babbini settled into Los Angeles in 1975, relocating from Valley Stream, New York. She was soon a busy wife, mother of a son and daughter, and a businesswoman who owned a successful digital imaging company for over 40 years. Her life turned upside down in 2004 when her 17 year old daughter, Robin, was diagnosed with Stage 3 ovarian cancer. Robin vigorously fought the battle but lost her dynamic life just 2 ½ years after her diagnosis. She died at the young age of 20! To honor Robin's memory and shine a light on her legacy, Paulinda founded the non profit, The Ovarian Cancer Circle/Inspired By Robin Babbini. It is her passionate, tireless commitment to heighten awareness of the signs and symptoms of this ‘stealth' cancer, particularly amongst young women. She devotes her days working at community outreach throughout Southern California, attending health fairs, seminars and women's conferences, as well as lobbying in Washington, DC. Fundraising is the key to research and clinical trials that will lead to ovarian cancer being conquered. THE CIRCLE has dedicated its support to the prestigious UCLA based G.O. Discovery Lab, led by gynecologic oncologist, Dr. Sanaz Memarzadeh. Prior to COVID, The CIRCLE hosted two annual fundraising events , “Take A Bite Out of Ovarian Cancer”, at Ruth's Chris Steak House and “Teal There's A Cure.”. This past year they had two virtual walk runs and one in person event, Drag Queen Bingo. To date they have raised $950,000!!! THE CIRCLE has achieved increasing public civic recognition. Paulinda has been honored with a “Women in Leadership Award” by the City of West Hollywood; KNX Radio “Hero of the Week”; and a “Certificate of Appreciation & Recognition” by the City of Los Angeles. Moreover, for the last four years, The CIRCLE attained a ‘first-ever' milestone: the City of Los Angeles proclaimed September as Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. And in recognition City Hall of Los Angeles, City Hall of West Hollywood and the LAX pylons are illuminated in teal, the national color of ovarian cancer.

It may be just about the end of September but it's not the end of ovarian cancer so it definitely not the end of the awareness for the horrible disease. I don't just spread awareness because I have gone through this cancer three times. Nope, I also do it for ALL those that have lost their lives to it. From the friends I have met along the way to the ones that died who were loved by friends. In particular, two dear friends that both lost their mother to this disease. :( I will continue to advocate for as long as I'm still here. Until there is a cure or rather until women no longer die from it the conversation will keep going. Please, if there is ANY episode for you to share consider sharing this one. It's worth sharing as it could save lives. I truly believe that! Stay safe and keep healthy! God bless.

It's September, Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. It's also a good opportunity to highlight the important role that Cancer Protocols play in patient care. The CAP Cancer Protocols help ensure that all pathology reports contain necessary data elements to improve patient care. By requiring those specific data elements, synoptic reporting ensures more accurate reports that communicate findings in a clear, standardized format to clinician colleagues, researchers, and other users of the data, explain Barbara Crothers, MD, FCAP, and Uma Krishnamurti, MD, FCAP, in this CAPcast interview. In this episode, both pathologists will discuss how these Cancer Reporting Protocols benefit thousands of CAP member pathologists and other medical professionals by ensuring complete, uniform reporting of malignant tumors.

As March is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month, we thought it fitting to have a big ol' chat about the big (gynaecological) C! In this episode, Comedian / Writer / Cat Mother and all round LEGEND Karen Hobbs was kind enough to talk us through her experience of cervical cancer at the age of just 24. As Information Officer to the UK's leading gynae cancer charity Eve Appeal, our non-Karen Karen also fills us in on all the things we, as female reproductive organ owners, should be keeping an eye on! We are absolutely 200% (100 each) definitely really not medical professionals and this podcast does not intend to daunt or dishearten anyone! Our aim, as always, is to ask the questions we hope you want the answers to, to normalise talking about our bits (including the more serious stuff), all while having a little laugh or twelve along the way. Oh, and GO FOR YOUR SMEAR! For more gynae cancer information and support head over to eveappeal.org.uk.

Well it is...September is Ovarian Cancer Awareness Month. And sadly too many people still don't know this. NINE years after I was diagnosed people still are not aware. And that, though disappointing, is what motivates me to keep advocating. Today I share about my spreading awareness and a little about my story as a two time ovarian cancer survivor. Hope it will inspire you to do some (much needed) spreading of ovarian cancer as well.

Stacey Peterson hadn't planned to become an author, but then again, she hadn't planned to be diagnosed with ovarian cancer 1a at the age of 28, while in her second trimester with her daughter. After having an initial surgery to remove the fast growing tumor, she had her daughter a few weeks early and then started chemotherapy. That was 11 years ago and Stacey has shared her cancer journey not only with fellow survivors, but penned a book for kids to understand what's going on for the cancer patient. Her goal was to help turn a nightmare into a chance to serve the Lord and give back. Her two books help patients, caregivers, and children make sense of a difficult time.  You can find Stacey at her website and on Facebook.  For those wnating the check list about ovarian cancer symptoms we discussed on the show, please click here.  For more information about signs & symptoms, resources, or support groups, check out NOCC, OCRF, and Ovary Act.
