I am excited to connect with Dr. Lara Briden today! She is one of my favorite naturopathic doctors and the author of the bestselling books Period Repair Manual and Hormone Repair Manual. She has 25 years of experience in women's health, and she currently has consulting rooms in Christchurch, New Zealand, where she treats women with PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and many other hormone- and period-related health problems. Dr. Briden is a wealth of information! She brings a fresh perspective and a positive voice to the health and wellness space, and I often recommend her book, Hormone Repair Manual, to my clients and patients.  Today, she and I dive into her background as an evolutionary biologist and discuss how she became passionate about supporting and advocating for women throughout their lives. We talk about perspectives on aging, what the second puberty (perimenopause) is, and the impact of histamine, mass-cell granulation, and estrogen. We discuss fat redistribution in middle age and the loss of insulin sensitivity. We speak about how using alcohol impacts brain health, sleep, the gut microbiome, appetite, cravings, and hinders estrogen metabolism. We also touch on ways to address dysfunctional uterine bleeding in middle age, explain how to advocate for your health, how middle age impacts the nervous system, and the role of inflammatory foods, including dairy.  I hope you enjoy our discussion as much as I did! Stay tuned for more! IN THIS EPISODE YOU WILL LEARN: Dr. Briden discusses her background as an evolutionary biologist and how she changed her career to become an advocate for women's health. Many women fear the aging process. Dr. Briden and I discuss women's mindsets and perspectives on aging.  Why is there so little awareness about perimenopause? Dr. Briden defines menopause and discusses the timeframe in which some women experience perimenopause symptoms. How can ongoing hormonal fluctuations during perimenopause, or second puberty, increase the likelihood of women having issues with a histamine response? Dr. Briden talks about fat redistribution in middle age and explains why women need to stay on top of it from a metabolic perspective. How can our modern-day lifestyle make the metabolic shift women experience in menopause even more challenging? Dr. Briden talks about natural treatments and hormone therapies to lighten the flow of the extremely heavy periods that some women experience during perimenopause. Dr. Briden discusses the connection between cow dairy and an inflammatory reaction in some people. Women need to understand what happens in their bodies when they have either a partial or a full hysterectomy. Dr. Briden talks about estrogen and brain health. How does alcohol affect the body? What are the best options with the fewest side effects for hormone therapy for women?

Have you ever noticed how certain lighting instantly makes you feel edgy - like your eyes get tired, your head feels busy, and your patience disappears faster than usual?This episode wasn't part of the original plan for the Safety Series, but it felt important enough to add.Because in this one, I'm talking about something we rarely connect to hormones, or PMS: the way your eyes take in light all day long. You might be surprised to learn how that small light bulb in your bedroom can actually keep your brain working overtime. The screens we stare at, even just to relax, and the constant visual input our brains are trying to process, can quietly pile on stress without us ever connecting the dots.Over time, that extra demand can show up as irritability, low energy, and even ADHD-like symptoms, especially later in your cycle.A few things I talk through in this episode:Why your eyes can keep your nervous system switched on even when you're restingHow certain types of light quietly make PMS and overwhelm feel worseSimple, affordable changes that can help your brain wind down at nightThis conversation is practical, gentle, and very doable. No perfection needed. And no expensive bio hacks either.Listen in, take what feels doable, and remember: even small changes in what your eyes take in can make a meaningful difference over time.Download the new 20-min private podcast training - Simply Nourished CyclesBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

The short-term rental market has changed fast.

Mews just raised $300 million in a Series D, valuing the company at $2.5 billion — one of the largest hotel tech raises ever. But this conversation isn't about hype. In this GMH exclusive, Wil Slickers sits down for a third time with Richard Valtr, Founder of Mews, to unpack what this funding actually unlocks and why Richard believes much of hospitality technology has been built on the wrong assumptions for decades. They dig into why hotels still struggle with data ownership, how PMS platforms became gatekeepers instead of enablers, and why AI will only work if the industry fixes its foundations first. Richard also explains why RevPAR may be the industry's “original sin,” why guest experience should be a measurable output, and why fully autonomous hotels are the wrong goal. This is a wide-ranging, philosophical, and practical conversation about: • What Mews' $300M raise really changes • Why hotel tech copied the wrong SaaS playbook • Data standards, open APIs, and industry gatekeeping • AI agents, automation, and what should (and shouldn't) be automated • Why hospitality is more human than ever, even in an AI world Extra Links Related or Mentioned in This Episode: My first episode with Richard in 2021 My second episode with Richard in 2023 Skift Article around the $300M fund raise Connect with Airline Weekly LinkedIn: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/company/airline-weekly/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ X: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/Airline_Weekly/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Facebook: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/airlineweekly/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/skiftnews/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ WhatsApp: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaAL375LikgIXmNPYQ0L/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@SkiftNews⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and never miss an update from the airline and travel industries.

Summary In this episode, Andy talks with Olivia Montgomery, Associate Principal Analyst at Capterra and a PMP. They discuss how artificial intelligence is reshaping project management tools, skills, and expectations. Olivia brings a rare perspective, combining hands-on experience leading a PMO with years of research into how organizations evaluate, adopt, and struggle with project management software. Olivia and Andy explore why buying AI-powered tools is often easy, but realizing real value from them is much harder. Olivia explains the shift from buying software based on seat count to buying based on capability, why security is both the top source of satisfaction and frustration, and how unclear success metrics can quietly derail adoption. They also dig into the hidden risks of delegating too much to AI, including data governance blind spots and misplaced trust in tools that feel intuitive but have real limitations. You'll also hear why emotional intelligence is becoming more important as technology advances, how PMs can stress-test AI tools before committing, and which skills will separate the next generation of project leaders from the rest. If you're trying to prepare for the future of AI, tools, and skills in project management, this episode is for you! Sound Bites "Buying tools is very easy. Realizing the value is extremely difficult." "Security is not IT's job. It's the whole company's job." "If your main metric is just 'use AI,' that's a red flag." "AI is very good at predicting what is most likely to happen next, and terrible at predicting black swan events." "Emotional intelligence is what helps you move forward when technology can't." "Use AI to generate a first draft. That's the safest place to start." "If you don't know the topic well yourself, you won't spot when AI gets it wrong." "Confidence in AI can grow faster than readiness, and that's where problems start." "AI can flag a risk, but it cannot tell you why people are stuck." "Data governance is going to set project managers apart in the future." "No matter what job you have in ten years, emotional intelligence will still matter."

Your menstrual cycle is so much more than “just your period”—it's a monthly rhythm your body moves through with purpose. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly how the cycle works in a simple, easy-to-understand way: what's happening in the follicular phase, why ovulation matters, how progesterone impacts your mood and PMS, and what your body is trying to tell you through symptoms like cramps, bloating, acne, and fatigue. If you've ever felt confused by your hormones or frustrated that nobody taught you this, consider this your big-sis guide to finally understanding your body and learning how to support it with confidence. @holyandhormonal

One of the most beautiful and practical gifts of menstrual cycle awareness is how it awakens a newfound capacity to know and assert our boundaries. As we track our shifting emotions, mental state and energy levels through the cycle month, we get to know our unique strengths and our limits. This helps to build confidence in ourselves and our nature, so that when we become aware of a boundary that has been crossed, we're more able to find a skillful way to use the power of NO. So today we're exploring the power of menstrual cycle awareness for setting boundaries, especially when you're highly sensitive, in the premenstrual phase of your cycle, and in the years running up to and during menopause, and how this is potentially a life-changing and even world-changing act. We explore:How to work with the inner critic voice that invariably wakes up when we decide to claim a boundary and take care of ourselves. How the initiatory times in our menstruality life arc; like matressense, perimenopause, menopause, illness, loss require even stronger boundaries to hold ourselves through liminal times.Why we all need to re-write the story of the emotional messages of inner autumn as boundary signals rather than irrational outbursts.---Receive our free video training: Love Your Cycle, Discover the Power of Menstrual Cycle Awareness to Revolutionise Your Life - www.redschool.net/love---The Menstruality Podcast is hosted by Red School.

Send us a textPainful periods are common, but they're not normal. In this episode, I break down what's actually happening in your body when your period hurts and why pain is a signal, not something to simply override. You'll learn how inflammation, hormones, gut health, blood sugar, toxins, and even your nervous system all play a role in period pain, and how understanding these root causes opens the door to real, lasting relief.Whether you deal with cramps, PMS, endometriosis, or fibroids, this episode will help you see your body in a new way and give you hope that things can change.Resources mentioned:

We're excited to continue our AI Tools series with Yaron Lavie, a veteran product leader with over 25 years of experience in FinTech, InsurTech, and now retail tech at Nexite, where he helps fashion retailers unlock unique in-store data. In this episode, Yaron joins Matt and Moshe to share how he used Base44, an AI-powered, full‑stack vibe coding platform, to take a completely new product idea from concept to a deployed prototype without touching his R&D team.Yaron walks through why traditional approaches like Figma mockups and static visuals weren't enough for the kind of validation he needed, and how he experimented with tools like Gemini, Claude, and ChatGPT before landing on Base44 for an end‑to‑end, fully hosted solution. He explains how Base44's conversational, chat-based builder let him model user personas, flows, and entities, then iteratively refine an interactive analytics dashboard with real (anonymized) data, all inside a time‑boxed, low‑risk experiment that still respected security constraints.Join Matt, Moshe, and Yaron as they explore:Why Yaron needed to validate a new product idea without pulling scarce R&D resources off other prioritiesHow he moved from static mockups to interactive prototypes with real data, and where Gemini helped and fell shortWhat made Base44 stand out versus other vibe coding tools like Lovable: full-stack, hosted, and truly end-to-endThe importance of “context engineering” over simple prompt engineering when building with LLM-based buildersUsing Base44's discussion mode, live preview, and QA test generation to shape the product before committing to codeReal-world limits: hitting a ceiling on UX depth, inflated code, and friction with design systems and engineering standardsHow he transitioned from a Base44 prototype to a ground-up rebuild with the core dev team, using the prototype to generate user storiesPractical pros and cons: integrations, multi-currency support, database control, and when full-stack vibe coding is “good enough”Where Yaron sees vibe coding going next, and how PMs can use it responsibly for experimentation and usability testingAnd much more!Want to connect with Yaron or learn more?LinkedIn: https://il.linkedin.com/in/yaronlavieYou can also connect with us and find more episodes:Product for Product Podcast: http://linkedin.com/company/product-for-product-podcastMatt Green: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mattgreenproduct/Moshe Mikanovsky: http://www.linkedin.com/in/mikanovskyNote: Any views mentioned in the podcast are the sole views of our hosts and guests, and do not represent the products mentioned in any way.Please leave us a review and feedback ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

A grounded Q&A episode focused on what actually keeps you consistent when motivation fades. Episode #241

Did you know that even if you're still showing up, getting things done, and keeping everything together, you could still be stuck in burnout? Your body knows even if your mind doesn't.Today, I spoke with my therapist + nervous system expert, Ash McDonald, about high-functioning burnout, the one we both see in women who care a lot and do a lot. Unlike traditional burnout, it's when your brain keeps pushing you to go, even when you're exhausted. And no amount of sleep or coffee fixes it.We discussed how burnout often doesn't appear dramatic. It may just look like being busy and successful, while inside, your body is struggling.A few things we talk through together:How Ash went through high-functioning burnout herself and eventually had to step away not only from what looked like her dream life, but also from her successful businessWhy no system, routine, or doing it better can fix a body that doesn't feel settledA simple practice Ash walks women through that helps their nervous system come downThis episode is really about understanding why your energy, and even your hormones, don't get a chance to calm down when your body is always living on high alert.Pay attention to what feels familiar, and if something hits, pass it along to someone who's been carrying too much for too long and acting like they're fine.Download the new 20-min private podcast training - Simply Nourished CyclesBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meCONNECT WITH ASHLEY:Burnout Breakthrough - use code HAPPILYHORMONALPodcastNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

It's mid-January and you might be feeling like you should be hustling hard on those New Year goals—but what if your body is telling you something different? In this episode, I'm sharing why traditional January planning might be setting you up for burnout and how to plan your entire year in a way that honors BOTH the environmental seasons around you and your menstrual cycle within you.

Welcome to Day 3 of the Drop Five Pounds While Life Is Life-ing Challenge — the day we stop pretending life is ever going to calm down.Day one was about creating a solid plan. Day two was about anchoring that plan to compelling reasons that actually move you. Today is where it gets real. Because a plan without a plan for when life blows up… isn't a real plan.In this episode, we're talking about what *actually* happens when life is life-ing — when schedules implode, stress spikes, kids melt down, cravings hit, and your brain starts offering “helpful” excuses like, “Screw it, I'll start Monday.” Instead of waiting for a perfect, imaginary window where nothing goes wrong, we build the skill of honoring your plan *inside* the chaos.I walk you through how to identify your personal obstacles — not vague ones, but stupid-specific ones — and how to create strategies ahead of time so you're not relying on willpower in the moment. We talk about how your lower brain works, why it defaults to pleasure and avoidance, and how to pre-program responses that actually support the version of you you're becoming.This is the difference between wishful thinking and real commitment. Not white-knuckling. Not perfection. Devotion. Planning for mistakes. Learning instead of shaming. And building trust with yourself when life doesn't cooperate.In this episode, you'll hear:- Why waiting for a “perfect time” guarantees you stay stuck- What “life is life-ing” actually looks like (and why it's normal)- How your lower brain sabotages plans through pleasure-seeking and avoidance- Why a plan without obstacle strategies isn't a real plan- How to identify your exact personal triggers (stress, PMS, parties, exhaustion, leftovers, etc.)- The two types of strategies you need: thought strategies and do strategies- How to stop shame spirals and “look back with love” after a mistake- Why mistakes only become failures when you don't extract the lessonYour homework for today:On the left side of a page, list 10 very specific situations where life tends to derail your plan. On the right side, write your strategies — what you'll think, say, or do instead when those moments happen. Set a 5–7 minute timer and get it done, even if your brain throws a tantrum.If you want support, feedback, or coaching, email me at laura@lauraconley.com.And if you're ready to stop relying on motivation and start building skills that last, come join me inside the Yummy Mummy Experience — my six-month group coaching program that guarantees you lose weight for the last time or your money back.

Product management is being rewritten in real time, and AI is doing the editing.Matt sits down with Jerel Velarde, product manager at Full Scale Ventures, to discuss how AI is reshaping the relationship between PMs and engineering. We dive into what Jerel calls prompt prototyping, how expectations for product velocity have changed, and why the best PMs today are blending design, strategy, and code—all while staying laser-focused on validation over output.If you're a founder, CTO, or product leader trying to navigate the new frontier of product development, this one's for you.Key Discussion PointsIs “Product Manager” even the right title anymore?The new definition of PM: focused on outcomes, not artifactsHow PMs are using AI to validate fasterHow to lead product in a startup vs. a scale-upHow to think about MVPs when AI can build anythingResources & LinksConnect with Jerel on LinkedInProduct Driven - Get the BookSubscribe to the Product Driven NewsletterWhat Smart CTOs Are Doing Differently With Offshore Teams in 2025Subscribe to the Global Talent Sprint

Are PMS, short cycles, or low progesterone signs that your luteal phase is missing a critical mineral?If you're trying to conceive and struggling with implantation, anxiety after ovulation, cramping, spotting, or a short luteal phase, this episode breaks down why magnesium is essential for progesterone signaling, stress regulation, and cycle stability — and why so many women are unknowingly deficient.In this episode, you'll learn..-How magnesium directly supports progesterone receptors, implantation, and uterine blood flow-Why low magnesium increases stress hormones that suppress fertility-Simple food and supplement strategies to restore magnesium for luteal phase healthHit play to discover how restoring magnesium can stabilize your luteal phase, calm PMS, and support healthy implantation naturally.

PMDD (Premenstrual Dysphoric Disorder) goes far beyond typical PMS, causing debilitating symptoms including extreme depression, intrusive thoughts, and reality distortion. FLOW's Sarah and Jessica sit down with Christina de la Riva, who shares her journey with diagnosis, shame, and initially thinking she was just "handling PMS poorly." Cristina also introduces the archetype of Lilith* as a framework for understanding PMDD, emphasizing how Lilith* validates the PMDD experience rather than pathologizing it.    *Often culturally constructed as a symbol of uncontrollable female rage, Lilith is reframed herein as an icon of wisdom, pleasure, and righteous anger.   As always, FLOW includes practical management strategies and a reminder to reach out for community support.    Program Notes:   Episode Links: International Association of Premenstrual Disorder (IAPMD) https://www.iapmd.org/pmdd-not-pms Pleasure Activism https://adriennemareebrown.net/ University of Amnsterdam, Hermetic History Program https://ash.uva.nl/content/research-groups/history-of-hermetic-philosophy-and-related-currents/history-of-hermetic-philosophy-and-related-currents.html The Montrose Center / TX https://montrosecenter.org/ Guest IG https://www.instagram.com/cristinadelariva/ Guest Linkedin https://www.linkedin.com/in/cristinadelariva27/     How's Your Flow?

How are you planning to generate new owner-client leads in 2026 and are you betting on tactics that actually work? In this episode, Marc Cunningham sits down with Stephen Fox of Upkeep Media to break down the most effective, realistic strategies property management companies should be focusing on to drive owner leads next year. Instead of chasing shiny objects or short-term hacks, the conversation centers on organic SEO, Google reviews, YouTube, and education-based marketing that compounds over time. Stephen explains why Google and YouTube still dominate owner search behavior, how AI search fits into the picture, and what PMs should prioritize depending on where they are in their growth journey. They also unpack why video marketing is one of the cheapest and most defensible lead-generation strategies available—and why perfection is not required to win.

Guest: Dr. Hannah Lawler, Naturopathic Doctor (ND)Core Theme: Moving beyond the "pill for every ill" mentality to embrace nutrition (The Bean Protocol™), individualized hormone support, and the powerful signaling of the female cycle.Key Takeaways & Highlights1. The Luteal Phase "Truth Serum"Uni and Hannah discuss the emotional intensity often dismissed as "just PMS."The Luteal Narrative: The luteal phase (the week before your period) acts as a "BS filter." While it can feel like "lunacy," it often highlights real issues in life or relationships that we suppress during the rest of the month.Actionable Advice: Don't make life-altering decisions (like divorce) during this phase, but document the feelings. Use them as data points to address once your hormones settle.2. Naturopathic vs. Conventional MedicineDr. Lawler clarifies the rigorous path of an ND:Training: Four years of medical school, including biochemistry, anatomy, and pharmaceuticals, plus extensive training in nutrition, homeopathy, and hydrotherapy.The "Village Doctor" Approach: Hannah operates a concierge practice, making house calls. This allows her to see a patient's environment—poking around the pantry to see what they think is healthy versus what actually supports their biology.3. The Foundation of Nutrition: The Bean ProtocolBoth Unique and Hannah emphasize that nutrition is not a "fad" but the literal building blocks of cells.Soluble Fiber (Beans & Psyllium): Essential for clearing recycled estrogen and toxins from the liver. This is the "insurance policy" for anyone on Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT).Personal Responsibility: You cannot drive a "Ferrari" (your body) and put in the cheapest fuel. High-performance health requires high-quality, consistent inputs.4. Advanced Optimizations: Peptides & GeneticsWhen the foundation of nutrition is set, Dr. Lawler looks at "levers" to move the needle:Peptides: Signaling molecules that tell cells to perform specific tasks (e.g., recovery, skin health, or mood). Hannah highlights GHK-Cu (copper peptide) for anti-aging and Thymosin Beta-4 for recovery.Genetics (3x4 Genetics): Understanding "bottlenecks," such as the COMT gene, which affects how you process caffeine and adrenaline. Knowing your genetics removes the "DIY" guesswork from health.5. Thyroid Health & The "Canary in the Coal Mine"The discussion touches on why Hashimoto's is so prevalent today:Environmental Toxins: Halogens like fluoride, chlorine, and bromine can "plug" iodine receptors in the thyroid, leading to dysfunction.Root Cause: It's never "just" the thyroid; it's a response to stress, viruses, or environmental toxicity (like mold).

The "join a hot company" narrative gets even more complicated once you enter the AI-native part of the market. In Part 3 of our PM Career Framework for AI series, we close out with the doors everyone's obsessing over: AI labs, hot AI startups, ex-growth companies, and founding.We unpack what these companies actually look for (spoiler: it's not "AI experience"), why hands-on builders win over managers, how location and pace become make-or-break constraints, and how to think about risk and chaos when the upside is real.If you're trying to figure out whether you should stay put in 2026, or make the leap into the AI frontier, this episode breaks down the tradeoffs.Key topics• What AI labs are really hiring for (and why "productized research" is the core skill)• Why AI labs want radically hands-on PMs, not managers• Why Big Tech experience can become "inside-the-building skills" that don't translate• Which companies expect 9-9-6 culture, and the self-selection problem it creates• Why some struggling-company VP roles are still worth taking• When equity becomes a psychological trap (and when to cut losses)• Why remote leadership roles are rapidly disappearing• The founder litmus test: why it's an emotional decision, not a spreadsheet decision• The upside of founding even when it fails: the career story compounding effectWhere to find other the parts of this series:• Part 1: https://theskip.substack.com/p/the-pm-career-framework-for-ai-how• Part 2: https://theskip.substack.com/p/the-pm-career-framework-for-ai-partWhere to find Nikhyl:• Twitter/X• LinkedInWhere to find Carly:• LinkedIn• She Leads Podcast• Twitter/XJoin The Skip:• Skip Coach• Skip CommunityFind The Skip:• Website• Substack• YouTube• Spotify• Apple PodcastsTimestamps(00:58) The “doors” framework: building a personal stack rank for AI(04:57) The “productized research” skill: turning magic into product(08:29) Why AI labs want hands-on builders, not managers(15:00) Does AI domain expertise matter?(19:14) Location constraints: The SF requirement for PM roles(21:39) The Atlassian → OpenAI decision: Upending everything for the skip job(30:16) Inside the high pace at AI Labs(32:00) Hot AI Startups: the IC role that's a step forward(39:12) The 9-9-6 Reality: who's actually doing it(41:59) The power years problem: Gender, biology, and self-selection(46:13) The brand value of hot AI startups(48:32) When equity becomes a psychological trap (and when to cut losses)(54:12) Why some struggling-company VP roles are still worth taking(58:53) Why remote leadership roles are declining(63:10) The ex-growth equity risk: Why your compensation might never materialize(65:24) Choosing between YC offer vs AI lab internship vs college(73:41) The founder litmus test: why it's an emotional decision, not a spreadsheet decision(80:24) When to join vs found(82:31) Constraints + doors = your personalized career advice This is a public episode.

In this episode of The Product Experience, Mariah (Executive Director of Product at The Atlantic) discusses the often-vague transition from being a great Product Manager to becoming an effective manager of people. Drawing on her background as a journalist, Mariah explores how empathy and storytelling translate into product leadership. She deep-dives into using the Reforge PM Competency Model to remove subjectivity from performance reviews, fostering growth through "Development Conversations," and integrating AI into the PM workflow without losing the human touch.Chapters[0:00] The Pitfalls of People Management[1:15] Mariah's Origin Story: From Journalism to Product[3:24] Product Goals at The Atlantic[4:14] Transferable Skills from Journalism[6:08] The Evolution of the News Product Industry[8:40] Why Product Leaders Struggle with Management[13:12] The Reforge Competency Framework[15:13] Running 6-Week Development Conversations[21:20] Linking Development to Pay and Promotions[22:58] Managing the Human Element of Performance[26:12] Addressing Burnout and Imposter Syndrome[28:58] Upskilling Teams in the Era of AI[31:40] AI Disruption in the News Industry[33:01] Closing and ResourcesKey Takeaways— Journalism as a Product Foundation: Skills like active listening, asking the "question behind the question," and storytelling are directly transferable to discovery and stakeholder management.— The "Liking" Trap: Effective management isn't about being liked; it is about challenging your team.

They discuss the difference between body awareness and body trust and how historical and cultural medical narratives shape the way women interpret symptoms.The conversation also challenges the idea that health must always be pursued at the level of optimisation, introducing the concept of being “healthy enough”—not as a lowering of standards, but as a way of letting health support life rather than dominate it.This episode will resonate with anyone who has felt exhausted by the constant focus on hormones, symptoms, and self-improvement, and is looking for a more grounded, humane way to think about women's health.Lara Briden is a naturopathic doctor and bestselling author of the books Period Repair Manual and Hormone Repair Manual — practical guides to treating period problems with nutrition, supplements, and bioidentical hormones. With a strong science background, Lara sits on several advisory boards and is the lead author of a 2020 paper published in a peer-reviewed medical journal. She has more than 20 years' experience in women's health and currently has consulting rooms in Christchurch, New Zealand, where she treats women with PCOS, PMS, endometriosis, perimenopause, and many other hormone- and period-related health problems.Reach Lara at www.larabriden.com, IG: https://www.instagram.com/larabriden/Lara's books  https://larabriden.com/lara-briden-books/Lara's previous appearance on Mikkipedia https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/33  and https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/248 and https://podcast.mikkiwilliden.com/264  Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

Today I'm starting a conversation I've been feeling pulled toward for a while now - stress, safety, and why so many of us feel stuck in hormone patterns even when we're doing the right things.This is the first episode in what I'm calling the Safety vs. Stress Series, where we're going to slow down and look at how our body responds to different types of stress, why it prioritizes survival over hormone balance, and how we can start creating more safety instead of just trying to fix symptoms.If you've been stressed for so long that you think it's normal now, this episode will gently challenge that idea. Here's what you'll learn:The point where stress stops being temporary and starts shaping your cycleHow your body has been compensating long before you realized something was offWhy your hormones aren't failing you; they're simply reacting to everything going onThis episode lays the foundation for the weeks, if not the whole year, ahead. So, invite a friend or two to listen together. I promise this is a conversation we all need. As you listen, jot down what stands out and feels true for you. And if you'd like someone to talk it through with, email me; I'd love to be that support for you.NEW Private Podcast - 3 Steps to Making Hormones WellBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meFree trainingNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

Have you ever noticed that your energy is not consistent throughout the month? Some weeks you feel sharp, motivated, and on top of everything, and other weeks you feel exhausted, anxious, foggy, or completely wiped out. That is not random. That is hormones. In this episode, I walk you through how estrogen and progesterone impact your energy across your entire cycle and why understanding this changes everything. Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. I break down what a typical 28 day cycle looks like and what your hormones are supposed to be doing at each phase. What we cover in this episode: • Why estrogen and progesterone are at their lowest during your period and why testosterone is actually the dominant hormone at that time • How rising estrogen after your period fuels motivation, focus, productivity, and natural energy • Why ovulation is often your peak energy, creativity, and confidence window when hormones are balanced • What progesterone is supposed to do after ovulation and why it should feel calming, grounding, and supportive • Why needing more rest, calories, and recovery in the second half of your cycle is normal • How basal body temperature changes after ovulation and what that tells us about progesterone • The difference between your ovulation window and your fertile window • Why energy crashes, anxiety, irritability, or feeling wired but exhausted are signs something is off • What estrogen dominance and progesterone deficiency actually look like in real life • Why irregular cycles and unpredictable energy are not something you just have to live with I also explain the high hormone phase after ovulation and why this is the most important time to test hormones. This is when both estrogen and progesterone are present and your body has to process them properly. If you feel great one week and terrible the rest of the month, if PMS is intense, if ovulation feels painful or exhausting, or if your energy never feels predictable, those are all signs your hormones are not being produced or processed the way they should be. This is where hormone testing matters. Why I use DUTCH hormone testing: A DUTCH test allows us to see: • How much estrogen and progesterone you are actually producing • Whether you are ovulating and producing progesterone consistently • How your body is metabolizing and clearing hormones • Cortisol patterns that affect energy and burnout • Androgen levels, nutrient markers, and methylation Blood work can show hormone levels at a single moment, but it does not show functional patterns or how hormones are being used and cleared. DUTCH testing gives us the full picture. I share a real example of a woman who had done everything right. Clean eating, less caffeine, better sleep, no sugar, no alcohol, and still had terrible energy. Her DUTCH test showed exactly why her body could not make energy effectively. Once we saw the data, everything made sense. Numbers do not lie. Testing removes the guessing. Your energy should ebb and flow with your cycle, but it should still be manageable. Your hormones should not hold you back from living your life, working toward your goals, or feeling like yourself. If your hormones are interfering with your quality of life, it's time to test.  Get your hormone test: https://drbethwestie.com/dutch-hormone-testing/

What if improving your hormone health didn't require supplements, protocols, or “fixing” your body—just fueling it properly? In this episode, I break down how eating enough and fueling intentionally as a runner can inadvertently support hormone health. We're talking improved fertility markers, fewer PMS symptoms, better cycle regularity, increased sex drive, and more support through perimenopause—all without chasing hormone hacks. You'll learn: How underfueling disrupts key reproductive hormones Why carbs are not the enemy of estrogen or progesterone How proper running nutrition supports ovulation, libido, and cycle health Why many hormone symptoms are actually energy availability issues If you run—and have hormones (so… yes)—this one's for you.   Want to try Go Guarded?

Steve Martin: Coaching Product Owners to Be the Voice of the Customer In this episode, we refer to Henrik Kniberg's "Product Owner in a Nutshell" video and Product Ownership by Geoff Watts. The Great Product Owner: Rob Gard's Customer Obsession Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "The role of the PO really is to help the team empathize with the user, the customer of the product, because that's how they can develop great solutions." - Steve Martin   Rob Gard worked at a fintech firm and is now CPO of a major fintech company. Steve describes him as having a brilliant mind and being a real agileist—someone Steve learned a huge amount about Agile from. Rob's defining characteristic was his absolute obsession with the user. Everything focused on customer pain points. Working with engineering teams serving military customers, Rob held regular workshops with those customers to understand their pain firsthand. He was literally the voice of the customer, not theoretically but practically. Rob pushed and challenged teams to be more innovative, always looking for better ways of providing better software. His gift was communication—specifically, briefing the team on the problem rather than just reading out stories in refinement sessions. This is the anti-pattern many Product Owners fall into: going through the motions, reading requirements without context. Real product ownership, as Rob demonstrated, is telling a story that helps the team empathize and understand the pain. When teams can internalize customer problems, they develop better solutions. Rob's ability to communicate the problem into the minds of teams enabled them to serve customers more effectively. This is the essence of great Product Ownership: not being a proxy for management, not juggling multiple teams, but being deeply connected to customer pain and translating that pain into context the team can work with.   Self-reflection Question: Do your refinement sessions tell stories that help the team empathize with customer pain, or do you just read out requirements? The Bad Product Owner: Proxies for Management Instead of Customer Advocates Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "They weren't a team, they were a group of individuals working on multiple different projects." - Vasco Duarte   Steve emphasizes that Product Owners often have great intentions but struggle due to lack of training and coaching. The anti-patterns are systemic: commercial managers "dressed up" as Product Owners without understanding the role. Project managers transitioning to PO roles—though Steve notes PMs can make really good POs with proper support. The most damaging pattern is Product Owners spread across multiple teams, having very little time to focus on any single team or their customers. These POs become proxies—representing the voice of senior management rather than the voice of the customer. They cascade requirements downward instead of bringing customer insights upward. The solution isn't to criticize these struggling Product Owners but to help them understand their role and see what good looks like. Steve recommends Henrik Kniberg's "Product Owner in a Nutshell" video—15 minutes, 15 years old, still profoundly relevant. He also points to Product Ownership by Geoff Watts and formal training like CSPO or IC Agile Product Ownership courses. The fundamental issue is meeting Product Owners where they are, providing coaching and support to transform them from management proxies into customer advocates. When POs understand their role as empathy builders between customers and teams, everything changes.   Self-reflection Question: Is your Product Owner the voice of senior management or the voice of the customer?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

It's been almost 300 episodes, and I realized something recently… I haven't fully re-shared my healing story in a really long time.So as a way to celebrate the new year, I'm telling my story again — but with new details, deeper clarity, and perspective I didn't have the first time I shared it… all the way back in Episode 1.Eight years ago, in 2018, I reversed two straight years of constipation, acid reflux, and IBS— after being told there was nothing “wrong” with me… and nothing more that could be done. Now, my health is actually better now than it was when I was a kid.In today's episode, I'm walking you through the 7 steps I took to naturally heal my gut when absolutely nothing else worked. It's the same 7 steps I've now used with over 650 clients to naturally remedy constipation, acid reflux, bloating, IBS, PMS, acne, eczema, and more - and once you know these 7 steps, for you to experience the same results, too.I can't wait to break it all down for you.

This episode just picked up where we left off last time, and it grew out of a question we've been sitting with lately: what's ACTUALLY shaping women's health right now? Today, Heather and I talk through the health and hormone trends we see gaining momentum as we head into 2026. Some of them are things we've personally seen help women and we feel good about. Others made us stop and ask more questions before moving forward. And in a lot of cases, slowing down has felt like the wiser choice for our own health.A few moments that stood out:Concerns and boundaries around AI in health and hormone supportWhy peptides aren't inherently bad, but often used without enough context or preparationWhy hyper-focusing on one body system often misses the bigger pictureIf health advice has been coming at you from all sides lately, press play and let us help you think differently about what your next step is.NEW Private Podcast - 3 Steps to Making Hormones WellBook a FREE Hormone Strategy Call with meCONNECT WITH Dr. HEATHER RHODES:WebsiteIG: @drheatherrhodesNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

Have you ever considered that your exercise routine might be doing more harm than good for your hormonal health? Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney show! In this episode, I'm talking about the complex relationship between exercise and hormonal health, with a particular focus on female hormones.  We'll look at the impacts of different types of exercise on the thyroid, adrenal glands, and sex hormones, such as estrogen and progesterone and how both over-exercising and under-exercising can disrupt hormone balance, leading to issues such as PMS, weight gain, and stress-related symptoms.  I will also offer practical insights on how to tailor exercise routines to support hormonal health and emphasize the importance of relaxation practices, especially during stressful periods. In Today's Episode We Discuss ·        Understanding Hormones and Their Functions·        The Female Hormone Cycle Explained·        Thyroid and Adrenal Hormones·        Impact of Exercise on Hormones·        Exercise and Adrenal Fatigue·        Balancing Exercise with Hormonal Health·        Managing Stress and Exercise·        Tips for a Healthy Exercise RoutineIf you're feeling out of sync, pay attention to what your body is telling you. Rest and relaxation are just as important as movement, and sometimes, less is more when it comes to exercise, especially if you're dealing with hormonal imbalances like PMS, weight gain, or stress.  Where We Can Connect Listen on Your Favorite Podcast PlatformFollow the PodcastWatch & Subscribe on YouTubeFollow Me on InstagramConnect With Me on Facebook Follow & Review On Apple PodcastsAre you following the podcast?

Thank you for joining us for our 2nd Cabral HouseCall of the weekend!   I'm looking forward to sharing with you some of our community's questions that have come in over the past few weeks…   Hayley: Hi Dr. Cabral- What is your opinion on stabilized lignite extract supplements? It is purported to tighten up a leaky gut, but I'm not clear on if this product is a necessary addition to my diet. Thanks for all the work you do– your podcast is awesome!                                                                                                                                                                                    James: Hi Dr. C what are your thoughts on eating fruit after dinner                                                                                                                                                                           Nick: I've seen a lot of talk lately about doing sauna for too long being bad for you? Is this true and how do you know when too long is too long? Does temperature matter, or only time in the sauna?                                                                                                                                                              Anonymous: Hi Dr. Cabral, thanks for doing these HouseCalls - they are so helpful and I enjoy learning from them weekly as an IHP2! My questions is this: I had a client using Estrogen balance to help with her PMS symptoms and it really helped her a lot. I'm wondering when I know is the right time to begin lowering her dosage or stopping the supplement.     Marcy: Thank you Dr. Cabral for taking my question! Why do you think it is that most of my clients seem to feel each FM Detox gets easier every time they do one. And why is it though that sometimes for seeming random reasons they'll have a challenging quarterly Detox where it feels like maybe the first time again? I'm just confused when this happens and I want to better know how to support my clients when this occurs.    Thank you for tuning into this weekend's Cabral HouseCalls and be sure to check back tomorrow for our Mindset & Motivation Monday show to get your week started off right! - - -   Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3614 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?

Welcome back to our weekend Cabral HouseCall shows!   This is where we answer our community's wellness, weight loss, and anti-aging questions to help people get back on track!   Check out today's questions:    Lara: Hi, dr. Cabral! Hope you and your family are well.. I'm wondering about some ingredients in supplements, how to know which are ok? Have you maybe done a podcast about it ? It would be great to have a check list when it comes to supplements, please.. For example, gellan gum? You've said xanthan gum is not ok, guar is ok, what about the others? And I am wondering about other ingredients as well, fillers and additives.. which are ok and which are not Thank you so much! Happy healing to everyone!                                                                                                                                                      Rachel: Love your podcast thank you for all you do and hope to become an IHP one day! Anyway, this question is about my Dad. I have been doing some research, but would love your advice. He is 66 years old with diabetes and takes metformin. He has recently developed the early onset of neuropathy in his foot. What can he do to help slow the progression or even reserve the neuropathy? Supplement suggestions or diet advice? Thanks so much!                            Sarah: Hi Dr. Cabral! Will you please suggest an all natural method to get rid of flat warts I have all over my legs? I did run the big five labs and I've been working on all the imbalances for six months now, but the flat warts have not budged. Thank you so much for all you do!                                                                                                                                               Tony: Hello Dr. Cabral, Suffered some early trauma and have had chronic stress most of my life. Never ate vegetables and fruits growing up. Now, @34 I have sibo, dysbiosis, leaky gut and nervous system dysregulation. Working on them with the DESTRESS protocol,and therapy. Wondering how to introduce new foods. I'm not kidding when I say I've been on a restricted diet my whole life and new foods cause immune flares and can tank me for a few days. I'm sure like the graduated exercise program in IHP, it's about introducing them slowly and letting the immune system adapt, but wondering if you had any tips on food expansion. Ran the big 5. Low potassium/sodium. DHEA of 3, some yeast and fungal markets elevated. Want to regulate nervous system and repair my gut over the next 12 months. Thanks!                    Kelsey: Hi Dr. Cabral! Hoping you can shed some light on this. After coming off hormonal birth control earlier this year, my cycle has been irregular and my PMS symptoms have become intense. I'm wondering how long it typically takes the endocrine system to rebalance? I'm also curious if supporting the liver or increasing certain micronutrients might help speed the process. Thank you so much!                                 Thank you for tuning into today's Cabral HouseCall and be sure to check back tomorrow where we answer more of our community's questions!    - - - Show Notes and Resources: StephenCabral.com/3613 - - - Get a FREE Copy of Dr. Cabral's Book: The Rain Barrel Effect - - - Join the Community & Get Your Questions Answered: CabralSupportGroup.com - - - Dr. Cabral's Most Popular At-Home Lab Tests: > Complete Minerals & Metals Test (Test for mineral imbalances & heavy metal toxicity) - - - > Complete Candida, Metabolic & Vitamins Test (Test for 75 biomarkers including yeast & bacterial gut overgrowth, as well as vitamin levels) - - - > Complete Stress, Mood & Metabolism Test (Discover your complete thyroid, adrenal, hormone, vitamin D & insulin levels) - - - > Complete Food Sensitivity Test (Find out your hidden food sensitivities) - - - > Complete Omega-3 & Inflammation Test (Discover your levels of inflammation related to your omega-6 to omega-3 levels) - - - Get Your Question Answered On An Upcoming HouseCall: StephenCabral.com/askcabral - - - Would You Take 30 Seconds To Rate & Review The Cabral Concept?
