In this episode, Cory Connors sits down with Anna Perlina, a sustainable packaging and EU PPWR consultant with Integrity Solutions, to unpack why the EU's Packaging and Packaging Waste Regulation (PPWR) is reshaping how companies — even those outside Europe — think about packaging strategy. Anna traces her path from leading global packaging procurement at a major FMCG company to founding her own consultancy, and explains how the PPWR has turned "sustainable packaging," once a vague and subjective goal, into a concrete, common playing field with a roadmap running through 2040. The two also preview this November's Sustainable Packaging Summit in Utrecht, where they both serve as ambassadors.Key Topics Discussed:Anna's journey from corporate packaging procurement to founding Integrity SolutionsWhy PPWR gives companies a concrete, common definition of "sustainable packaging" for the first timeThe business case for regulatory certainty: why clear rules unlock long-term investment in new materials and equipmentThe real-world testing and scale-up challenges of switching packaging formats (including a cautionary tale about pickle jars)Anna's role as an ambassador for the Sustainable Packaging Summit and her speaking history with Packaging Europe webinars and panelsReflections on last year's Sustainable Packaging Summit in Utrecht, including moderating the "paper vs. plastic" panelWhat's new for the 2026 Summit: three full days of programming, EU commissioner participation, and lessons learned from the PPWR's first milestone (August 12, 2026)Why non-EU companies should study the PPWR now, even if they don't sell into EuropePractical tips for attending the Summit, including train travel to UtrechtChapters: 00:16 Introduction to Sustainability and Consulting02:59 Understanding PPWR and Its Impact on Packaging05:37 Challenges in Sustainable Packaging Implementation10:06 The Role of the Sustainable Packaging Summit12:46 Insights from the Last Summit and Future Expectations15:23 Practical Tips for Companies on Sustainability18:07 Conclusion and Networking OpportunitiesResources Mentioned:Integrity Solutions — Anna Perlina's sustainable packaging and EU PPWR consultancyAnna Perlina on LinkedInSustainable Packaging Summit, Utrecht — November 10–12, 2026, at the Beatrix Theatre, JaarbeursEuropean Commission PPWR overview and guidanceContact:Listeners can connect with Anna Perlina on LinkedIn, where she regularly publishes free expert content and practical guidance on navigating the PPWR.Support our Sponsors Learn more here:- 3M- Specright- Forest https://anewearthproject.com/collections/new-earth-approvedConnect with CoryConnect with Cory on LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cory-connors/I'm here to help you make your packaging more sustainable!

You've put in the work. The workouts are clicking, your paces are feeling easier, the weather is cooperating, and suddenly you're wondering if you can do more, should be running more, and/or should be running faster. In Episode 290, we discuss how to protect a solid training cycle all the way to the start line. When training is going well, it can be just as easy to get derailed by emotion as when things are not going as smoothly. Feeling strong can lead runners to push paces, add mileage, squeeze in extra workouts, constantly test their fitness, or decide that their training plan is holding them back.We're breaking down how to use the positive feedback from a strong training cycle without letting it tempt you into doing too much, and why feeling good is often evidence that your plan is working, not evidence that you need to do more.

Want to learn how to leave a leadership role without burning bridges? I've learned the hard way that transitioning in ministry isn't just about the "next thing"- it's about how we honor the "now thing." In this episode, Amy and I sit down to get real about the messy, beautiful journey of mentorship and leadership development. We're sharing our own stories of growth, grief, and the lessons we've picked up along the way. If you're searching for a mentor or trying to figure out how to pour into the leaders rising up around you, we made this for you. We're walking through the practical, heart-level steps to honoring your past while stepping boldly into your future. I often think about how every community has its own unique sound. Learning to lead isn't about changing that sound to match yours; it's about learning to honor the harmony that was there before you arrived. I want to help you process the mixed emotions of transition so you can lead with a clear heart.

He argues that every investment carries uncertainty, that roughly half will go wrong, and that the investors who do well are the ones who take profits early, separate hunches from hopes, and refuse to fall in love with what they own. He also makes the case for thinking independently and moving on quickly when a position does not work.

To recover from toxic relationships, we need clear thinking. And some things prevent clear thinking. In this episode, I share some recent insights I had around coffee, sleep, exercise, and more. Some things might seem obvious. But if even one thing helps you rest and recover better, you WILL be better equipped. Sorry for delay in posting, I don't want to post unless I feel inspired and that I'm providing value. I'm working through some things now and will hopefully post again more soon.

And if you can rely on a strong intuition, this will help you make better and faster decisions.Links & Resources:

We would love to hear from you, follow this link to send us a message directly. Include a voice message and you might even be featured in a future episode! Kids aren't dumb—they're developing. But in a world of endless stimulation, many children never slow down long enough to think past the next TikTok craze or YouTube short. In this episode of the All Pro Dad podcast, Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to talk about why thinking deeply matters and how dads can intentionally develop that skill through critical thinking activities for kids.Why This MattersKids who learn to think critically become wiser decision-makers, better problem solvers, and more thoughtful adults.Key Takeaways1. Critical thinking develops over time.Kids naturally think about what's directly in front of them. Development plays a major role, but dads can help move them from simply reacting to actually reasoning through situations.2. Today's world makes deep thinking difficult.Constant stimulation, shorter attention spans, fewer kids reading for fun, and the disappearance of boredom all work against developing thoughtful children.3. Dads can intentionally teach kids to think.Critical thinking isn't just an academic skill. It helps kids consider consequences, understand different perspectives, solve problems, and make wise decisions throughout life.Practical Tips for Dads1. Create a slow-thinking environment.Reduce constant stimulation, allow boredom, limit screens, and introduce activities like chess, books, and uninterrupted conversations that naturally develop deeper thinking.2. Ask better questions.Instead of giving answers, ask open-ended questions like:"Why do you think that?""What do you think happened?""What would you do differently?"Follow-up questions teach kids how to think, not just what to think.3. Stretch your child's time horizon.Help kids connect today's decisions with tomorrow's outcomes. Talk about future goals, long-term consequences, and the kind of person they want to become.Important Episode Timestamps[00:00] Why Don't Our Kids Think Critically and What Can Dads Do About It?[00:30] Chicken on the Table and Other Signs Your Kids Aren't Thinking[03:17] Why Kids Aren't Wired to Think Critically Yet[04:12] The Difference Between Parroting and Actually Thinking[08:41] What Critical Thinking Actually Means in Kid Terms[09:36] Teaching Kids to See From Other Angles and Think Things Through[12:55] What's Getting in the Way of Kids Thinking Critically Today[16:35] Why Dads Need to Show Kids That the World Is Bigger Than Their Bubble[19:44] Practical Ways to Build Critical Thinking Into Everyday Life[23:12] This Week's Pro Move: Ask your child one thoughtful question this week—and resist the urge to answer it for them.

Most runners focus on pace, heart rate, and fueling, but heat may be the hidden factor that determines whether a great race turns into a survival march. In this conversation, CORE endurance performance lead Aline Barre explains how the body regulates temperature, why overheating steals blood away from your muscles and gut, and how even well-trained athletes can unravel when heat gets ahead of them. She shares simple, research-backed ways to become heat adapted using overdressed runs, saunas, hot baths, and smart scheduling, while also explaining why hydration, electrolytes, and cooling strategies matter just as much. The discussion also explores CORE's non-invasive temperature sensor, how monitoring heat strain can help runners avoid crossing the point of no return, and why “cooler is faster” isn't just a catchy phrase, it's physiology. This episode offers practical tools that can make running in the heat feel far more manageable.

Aline shares surprising research and explains how long heat adaptations last. 44:30 | Practical Tips for Your Next Hot Race The episode wraps up with actionable advice on clothing, cooling methods, and how to avoid crossing the overheating threshold on race day.

What could your life look like if you truly had blind faith? What if the greatest challenges in your life were actually invitations to experience deeper joy and purpose? On today's episode of Flourish-Meant, host Tina Yeager sits down with pastor, author, and Bible teacher Chad Roberts, whose life was turned upside down when sudden blindness radically changed his world at age 38. Despite losing his sight, Chad Roberts continues to inspire thousands through his ministry, Awakened to Grace, and his new book, Blind Faith. Join us as Chad Roberts shares his remarkable journey through suffering, tackling the difficult questions we all face—Why does a good God allow pain? How do we cling to hope when life feels impossibly dark? You'll hear powerful, practical insights about choosing joy in hard seasons, discovering purpose in the midst of affliction, and learning to trust a God you cannot see. If you're searching for encouragement and real strategies to move from merely surviving to flourishing—no matter what you're facing—this unforgettable conversation will give you the strength and hope you need to keep moving forward. Spotlight: Chad Roberts on Embracing Suffering with Joy When sudden blindness upended Chad's world, he found himself wrestling with God and all the questions suffering brings. Yet through Scripture and the sustaining grace of God, Chad discovered that: God has great purpose in our afflictions, never wasting our pain. Suffering is not a sign of God's anger or punishment, but an invitation to experience His grace more deeply. Joy is a choice, not a fleeting emotion—we must choose it before we feel it, and let God's Word anchor our mornings. Suffering, when surrendered to God, can polish us rather than grind us down. True hope is both for eternity and for now—sometimes God "makes us lie down in green pastures" so we discover blessings we would have missed otherwise. Practical Tips for Finding Joy in Tough Seasons Start each day by declaring God's truth over your life: "This is the day the Lord has made. I will rejoice and be glad in it." Don't wait to feel joy—choose it, trust that God is at work, and let Scripture become your anchor. Shift your focus from what you see (or don't see) to what God promises. Ready for More Inspiration?

Listen to this unforgettable episode for the full story and practical encouragement to flourish, even in seasons of darkness. Let's Grow Together Whether you're facing challenges in parenting, your career, health, or your spiritual journey, remember: God's grace is enough to help you go from surviving to truly thriving.

In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to discuss our parenting habits, what they mean to our children, and think through the things about us our kids will emulate or eliminate.Why This MattersEvery interaction with your kids is shaping the kind of parent they'll become someday.Key Takeaways· Children naturally imitate far more of our parenting than we realize, both the good and the bad.· Harshness, absence, and constant pressure often become the behaviors kids intentionally reject later in life.· Listening well, showing up consistently, and apologizing when we're wrong create a legacy worth repeating.Practical Tips for Dads1.

Prioritize presence by showing up consistently for everyday moments, not just major milestones.3. Model humility by listening carefully and apologizing when you've handled a situation poorly.Important Episode Timestamps[00:00] What Are Your Kids Going to Copy From You and What Will They Cut?Ted frames an honest conversation about the habits, traditions, and behaviors dads are passing down right now.[00:30] Why Bobby Started Thinking About What He Copied From His Own DadBobby connects Sunday roast beef at grandma's house to his own family rhythms today, realizing he's replicated far more of his upbringing than he ever thought.[02:11] What the Guys Have Emulated From Their DadsThe dads share the things they consciously carried forward from their fathers.[04:44] What the Guys Have Eliminated From Their DadsBobby opens up about his biological dad walking out when he was five and the decision he made in first grade never to break his own family apart, while Ted reflects on unconsciously repeating his dad's habit of driving away when frustrated.[09:55] Why We End Up Doing the Very Things We Swore We Never WouldTed shares a Michigan State study showing children copy adult actions with up to 90% accuracy, and the guys get honest about catching themselves repeating patterns they promised themselves they'd leave behind.[14:07] Things Dads Are Doing Right Now That They Hope Their Kids Will EliminateThe dads walk through the behaviors they most want to cut and why each one quietly chips away at the relationship.[18:41] Presence Over Perfection is the GoalPhysical presence without emotional presence is its own form of absence, and why small intentional moments matter more than dads often realize.[22:31] Things Dads Are Doing Right Now That They Hope Their Kids Will CopyThe dads urge others to listen well, prioritize presence, and model the kind of engaged fatherhood that kids will carry into their own families someday.[27:57] Why Dads Who Apologize Have Better RelationshipsApologizing quickly and genuinely is one of the most powerful things a dad can model and research backs it up.

We've all said something we thought would be helpful only to later regret the harm we caused. We had good intentions, but still messed up. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to discuss the lasting impact a father's words can have on his children. They unpack common phrases dads often say without realizing the damage they can cause and offer healthier, more encouraging alternatives that build confidence in kids. Why This MattersA father's words often become a child's inner voice, making it critical to speak truth, encouragement, and love with intention.Key Takeaways· Avoid labels, comparisons, and discouraging statements that attack your child's identity instead of addressing their behavior.· Encourage effort, growth, and resilience without offering false praise or unrealistic promises.· Sometimes the most powerful message isn't a perfect speech—it's consistently reminding your children they're loved, believed in, and never alone.Practical Tips for Dads1. Replace criticism of your child's identity with coaching about their choices or behavior.2. Follow through when you promise your child your time, showing them they are a priority.3. Make encouragement a daily habit by telling your children you believe in them, you're proud of their effort, and you love them unconditionally.Important Episode Timestamps[00:00] What Should Dads Stop Saying to Their Kids?[00:50] The Night BJ's Son Wrote His Article for Him[03:50] “Why Can't You Be More Like Your Brother?”[05:49] "I Don't Have Time Right Now.”[09:03] "I Don't Think You Can Do It.”[12:04] "You're Such a Disappointment.”[15:08] "Don't Be Such a Wimp.”[16:47] The Danger of Labels — Even the Ones Said as a Joke[18:19] "You Can't Do Anything Right.”[19:40] “Why Didn't You ____?”[22:12] Nothing.[23:28] This Week's Pro Move: Ask your kids, “Have I ever said anything that hurt you?” Listen to their response and own it.

They explore where AI can be helpful, where it can mislead parents, and why wisdom from experienced people still matters most when raising kids.Why This MattersAI can provide information, but it can never replace the wisdom, discernment, and personal knowledge that great parenting requires.Key TakeawaysAI is a helpful research tool, but it shouldn't become your primary parenting advisor.Your child is unique, and no AI can understand your family's history, personality, or circumstances the way you can.The best parenting advice comes from trusted relationships, experienced parents, qualified professionals, and proven research, not algorithms alone.Practical Tips for Dads1.

In this “Zion Lab Live” episode, Kurt Francom facilitates a live community discussion analyzing recent topics in Zion Lab. The conversation focuses on improving the Sunday meeting experience, addressing the unique cultural and social needs of men in the church, and managing the mental capacity of local leaders. Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights Key Insights US Constitution Fifth Sunday Lessons: Community feedback regarding the church-mandated Fifth Sunday lessons was generally positive, highlighting a respectful, non-political tone and a spiritual framing of the topic. However, participants noted areas for logistical improvement, such as better structured small-group discussions for youth. The Masculine Experience in Church: There is a perceived gap in curated institutional resources and dedicated advisory councils on the church level specifically tailored to adult men, unlike other church demographics. Fostering Connection for Men: Men naturally connect “shoulder-to-shoulder” through shared physical activities, service, and adventure rather than traditional face-to-face chat formats. Utilizing creative layouts, interactive exercises, or specific musical numbers can drastically improve engagement. Impact of Local Leadership: While institutional resources are helpful, local leadership ultimately has the greatest impact on an individual’s everyday church experience and ward culture. Mental Capacity and Burnout: Serving in high-demand callings creates a significant emotional and mental load. Leaders often mistakenly take on individual responsibilities that belong to others, which risks burning out active members and themselves. Leadership Applications Adapt the Second Hour: Elders Quorum presidencies can pivot away from dry lectures by arranging room seating dynamically (e.g., pulling out tables, utilizing outdoor spaces, or splitting into smaller circles) to prompt natural connection. Establish Call Limits: Bishops and Relief Society presidents can manage emotional fatigue by implementing clear structural boundaries—such as processing welfare and check requests only on Sundays—instead of allowing everyday crises to overlap into family time. Empower Through Accountability: Rather than acting as a “black hole of need” by driving around to manage every logistical demand for struggling members, leaders should focus on helping individuals build personal testimonies so they find motivation to step up independently. 00:04:10 – Leaked Meetinghouse Blueprints and the Chapel Lectern 00:05:42 – Reviewing Fifth Sunday Lessons on the US Constitution 00:07:54 – Examining Men’s Institutional Resources and the Advisory Council Gap 00:12:35 – Cultural Dynamics and How Men Build Peer Connections 00:24:14 – Practical Tips for Building Better Elders Quorum Lessons 00:28:54 – Reimaging Second-Hour Formats, Small Groups, and Music 00:39:43 – Managing the Mental Load and Burnout in Local Ward Leadership 00:43:32 – Handling Inner-City Ward Welfare Dynamics and Establishing Boundaries The award-winning Leading Saints Podcast is one of the top independent Latter-day Saints podcasts as part of nonprofit Leading Saints’ mission to help Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead.

We would love to hear from you, follow this link to send us a message directly. Include a voice message and you might even be featured in a future episode! Is your daughter struggling to tie her shoes? Did your son strike out to end the game? Did they fail the big driver's test? Kids are going to fail throughout life. What will you say in the moment? In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by BJ Foster and Bobby Lewis to discuss why failure is an essential part of childhood. They explore why dads naturally want to protect their kids from failure, how failure builds resilience and wisdom, and offer practical ways to help children grow stronger through disappointment instead of rescuing them from it.Why This MattersEvery child will fail. The question isn't whether it will happen—it's what happens after it does. Learning from failure is the first step to embracing it. Key TakeawaysNormalize failure. Failure isn't a reflection of your child's worth—it's evidence they're learning, growing, and taking healthy risks.Encourage healthy risk-taking. Kids develop resilience when dads create safe environments where trying, failing, and trying again are celebrated.Respond better than you rescue. The goal isn't to remove failure but to walk with your child through it, affirming their value while helping them reflect and grow.Practical Tips for Dads1. Separate identity from performance. Remind your kids they're loved regardless of success or failure.2. Praise effort, courage, and character. Celebrate the willingness to try more than the outcome itself.3. Process failure together. Listen first, acknowledge emotions, ask thoughtful questions, and help your child discover what they learned before moving on.Important Episode Timestamps[00:00] How Do We Help Our Kids Learn From and Embrace Failure?[00:46] Striking Out and Running and Wrong Way[04:04] What J.K.

S-Ketamine is now part of the TCCC pharmacopeia; you'd better understand how to use it. Dennis sits down with Pat — a veteran military anesthetist, former Danish Special Operations medical leader, and decades-long ketamine expert — for a deep dive into S-Ketamine. From its development and real-world use in austere environments (including Afghan war wounded and British Field Hospital MERT ops) to practical dosing, side effect management, and why it outperforms morphine in many trauma scenarios, this conversation delivers battle-tested wisdom for medics, PAs, nurses, and SOF operators.Pat shares hands-on lessons from hospital, military, and austere settings: achieving the "thousand-yard stare," managing emergence phenomena, combining with regional anesthesia, IM/IN/rectal routes, and why ketamine shines for hemodynamically unstable patients, refractory asthma, and more. They also discuss training pitfalls, the value of hands-on experience (including vet collaboration ideas), and cultural differences in patient responses.Key Takeaways:S-Ketamine is roughly twice as potent as racemic ketamine — use ~half the dose, but expect the same onset, duration, and side-effect profile (with potentially milder psych effects at mid-doses).Excellent for analgesia and procedural sedation in austere settings; superior hemodynamic stability compared to opioids in hypovolemic trauma patients.S-Ketamine is now included in the 2026 TCCC updates — critical knowledge for every combat medic and austere provider.Practical tips: titrate slowly IV, watch for nystagmus/thousand-yard stare, prepare for emergence with low-dose midazolam + patience, consider regional blocks to reduce opioid needs.Training emphasis: objective endpoints, patient monitoring, planning for side effects, and real-world experience over rote memorization.Whether you're running a prolonged field care scenario, managing a screaming femur fracture, or preparing for the next deployment, this episode arms you with actionable strategies.Subscribe, share with your team, and visit prolongedfieldcare.org for free resources, downloads, and more.

Planning a home birth or birth center birth? While most out-of-hospital births go as planned, hospital transfers are more common than many families realize. In this episode, we break down the most common reasons a transfer may happen before or during labor, including prolonged labor, maternal exhaustion, fetal positioning concerns, post-dates pregnancy, ruptured membranes, and more.We also discuss the emotional side of transfer, why it is not a failure, how to prepare mentally and practically for the possibility of a hospital birth, and ways to stay empowered if your birth plan changes. Whether you're planning an out-of-hospital birth or supporting someone who is, this conversation offers valuable education, reassurance, and practical tools for navigating unexpected changes during birth.00:00 Trailer & Introduction02:21 Why Hospital Transfer Isn't Failure05:46 Letting Go of Guilt & Self-Blame11:49 Home Birth Transfer Statistics15:11 Most Common Reasons for Transfer16:54 Reasons You May Transfer Before Labor19:36 Going Past Your Due Date21:41 Fear of Hospital Births & COVID Experiences24:20 Why You Should Prepare for Transfer26:31 Low Fluid, Blood Pressure & Other Risks28:23 Breech Babies & Other Pregnancy Complications33:16 Reasons for Transfer During Labor33:45 Water Breaking Without Labor35:40 Stalled Labor & Baby Positioning37:35 Maternal Exhaustion & Pain Relief Requests41:56 Medical Complications During Labor43:20 Fetal Concerns & Meconium44:44 How to Mentally Handle a Transfer46:46 What Happens When You Arrive at the Hospital53:56 Practical Tips & Your Hospital Backup Plan55:59 Processing Your Birth Experience Afterwards58:13 Homeopathic Support for Fear & Shock58:46 Healing, Perspective & Birth Trauma59:39 Final ThoughtsOther Related Episodes:#32: The Vital Importance of Baby's Position During Birth with Ann Gilligan - https://open.spotify.com/episode/2IMXN6PmYDZBUcm78G3QeX?si=yNNZH5-sQDG3OaKeRlXD6A#40: The Wisdom in Waiting - https://open.spotify.com/episode/19MTWQjyEHl804m4UEcvT8?si=KuMgrblvSmy3HzQHKO9pGw#136: How The Hospital System Manipulates Moms with Dr. Stuart Fischbein MD - https://youtu.be/iKj69MpgmD0?si=ADEsze8RNtRCKkqO#168: Hospital Birth 101 Part 1 - https://youtu.be/8AohlC6Rc_E#169: Hospital Birth 101 Part 2 - https://youtu.be/Zracs5-cytEHealthy As A Mother Podcast | YouTubeHealthy As A Mother Podcast | InstagramHealthy As A Mother Podcast | TikTokHealthy As A Mother Podcast | Merch StoreFind more from Dr. Leah:Dr. Leah Gordon | InstagramDr. Leah Gordon | WebsiteWomanhood Wellness | WebsiteFind more from Dr. Morgan:Dr. Morgan MacDermott | InstagramDr. Morgan MacDermott | WebsiteUse code HEALTHMOTHER and save 10% at Ninni Co.Use code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 10% at EarthleyUse code HEALTHYMOTHER and save 15% at RedmondFor 20% off your first order at Needed, use code HEALTHYMOTHERSave $260 at Lumebox, use code HEALTHYASAMOTHERUse code HAAM and save 10% at Fond

They share their struggles with making exercise a priority and how they transformed their relationship with movement. The conversation also covers the significance of building muscle mass, especially for women, and debunks common myths surrounding strength training. Finally, they provide practical tips for incorporating movement into daily life, encouraging listeners to take responsibility for their health and well-being. Takeaways Exercise was not always a priority for us. Accountability can transform your exercise habits. Consistency is more important than intensity. Building muscle mass is crucial for metabolic health. Women often lack knowledge about strength training. Starting small can lead to significant changes. Movement should be enjoyable, not a chore. Ready is a myth; just start moving. Rest is essential for muscle recovery. Changing language from 'exercise' to 'movement' can shift mindset.

Dr. Adam Dorsay introduces SuperPsyched and highlights that women have ADHD yet up to 75% may be undiagnosed, then interviews psychologist Dr. Michelle Frank, co-author of A Radical Guide for Women with ADHD. They discuss why girls and women are often overlooked, the relief and grief that can accompany later-in-life diagnosis, and how medication should feel supportive rather than numbing or euphoric amid stigma. Frank describes how ADHD can be misattributed to character, the need to rule out or address co-occurring issues (depression, anxiety, trauma/PTSD, sleep disorders, head injury), and women-specific considerations including PMDD, postpartum risk, and hormonal impacts across the menstrual cycle and menopause. Frank shares her own late-recognized ADHD experiences, masking and imposter syndrome, and notes children with ADHD may receive 20,000 more negative comments by age 10. They outline multimodal supports for a teen diagnosis (curious adults, accommodations, coaching, therapy, family validation), emphasize avoiding shame spirals when symptoms recur, and recommend learning about ADHD, connecting with community, self-compassion, and taking small risks toward vulnerability.00:00 Welcome to SuperPsyched00:28 Women and Undiagnosed ADHD01:09 Meet Michelle Frank04:21 Late Diagnosis Relief and Grief07:40 Medication That Fits08:27 Stigma and Self Blame11:16 Ruling Out Lookalikes12:47 Hormones PMDD and Menopause16:51 Michelles ADHD Journey22:59 Imposter Syndrome and Masking27:24 Negativity Bias and Shame29:05 Susie Treatment Roadmap34:47 Practical Tips and Connection36:41 Final Insight Vulnerability38:13 Closing and ShareHelpful Links:Michelle Frank, PhDMichelle Frank, PhD LinkedInA Radical Guide for Women with ADHD Book

As colorectal cancer rates rise among younger adults, surgeons are increasingly caring for patients with rectal cancer who are pregnant or hoping to preserve future fertility. With more individuals delaying childbearing, balancing effective cancer treatment with fertility preservation and maternal–fetal safety has become an important clinical challenge. This timely topic was recently highlighted by Dr. Sharon Suwanabol during a presentation at the American Society of Colon and Rectal Surgeons annual meeting 2026. In this episode, we explore the intersection of rectal cancer, fertility, and pregnancy through a multidisciplinary, case-based discussion. We review how surgery, chemotherapy, and pelvic radiation can affect fertility and sexual function in both men and women, and why early counseling and referral to reproductive endocrinology specialists are essential. The discussion also emphasizes that evaluation and treatment during pregnancy can often be performed safely, with care individualized based on tumor stage, gestational age, and the patient's goals and values. Hosts and discussants · Dr. Betelhem Yohannes, General surgery resident at the University of Washington · Dr. Griffen Allen, General surgery resident at the University of Washington · Dr. Raga Siddharthan, Assistant Professor of Surgery in the Section of Colorectal Surgery at the University of Washington · Dr. Stacey Cohen, Professor in the Division of Hematology and Oncology at the University of Washington and a gastrointestinal medical oncologist at Fred Hutch Cancer Center, specializing in colorectal and other GI cancers. Learning objectives · Describe the impact of rectal cancer surgery on fertility, sexual function, and future childbearing potential. · Review the effects of chemotherapy and pelvic radiation on reproductive health and fertility preservation. · Discuss available fertility preservation strategies and the importance of early pre-treatment counseling and referral. · Recognize the diagnostic challenges of rectal cancer during pregnancy, including overlapping gastrointestinal symptoms. · Review appropriate staging and workup considerations for suspected rectal cancer in pregnant patients. · Discuss multidisciplinary management strategies for rectal cancer during pregnancy, including individualized treatment sequencing. · Examine ethical and patient-centered considerations when balancing maternal cancer treatment and fetal outcomes.

Clearing out your pantry, replacing your toaster, rethinking every restaurant meal, and teaching your child to advocate for themselves all over again.
