Why do so many successful leaders struggle with the feeling of "not being enough"? And how can leaders shift away from a scarcity mindset?In episode 243 of At The Table, Patrick Lencioni and Cody Thompson explore the pervasive feeling of inadequacy among leaders. They discuss how a "not enough" mindset can drive individuals to seek validation through constant achievement. The conversation emphasizes the importance of vulnerability, self-awareness, and shifting from a fear-based to a joy-based approach to life and work.Topics explored in this episode: (0:49) The Prevalence of "I'm Not Enough"* Many leaders share a common feeling of inadequacy, often tracing it back to their youth. * This feeling can create a cycle of constantly striving to prove yourself, hindering your ability to find satisfaction in accomplishments. (5:04) The Impact of Vulnerability* Sharing your feelings of inadequacy with others can normalize these experiences, encouraging them to acknowledge their own struggles and seek support. (9:07) The Scarcity Mindset* Believing "I'm not enough" can lead to a scarcity mindset, affecting your perceptions of time, success, and resources. (14:23) The Illusion of Control* The pursuit of control over outcomes can lead to anxiety and prevent you from embracing the present moment. (18:36) Finding Peace in the Journey* Reframing your perspective can help you foster a sense of peace. * Embracing the journey and finding joy in the process can lead to greater fulfillment than solely focusing on the result.This episode of At The Table with Patrick Lencioni is brought to you by The Table Group: https://www.tablegroup.com.

Have you ever considered that victims of human trafficking might be walking into your clinic, hidden in plain sight, longing for someone to notice their silent signals? In this episode of Pediatric Meltdown, host Dr. Lia Gaggino sits down with Dr. Dena Nazer , a leading child abuse pediatrician, to dispel widespread myths and expose the heartbreaking realities of child trafficking. They dive deeply into what human trafficking truly looks like, why language and empathy shape outcomes, and how pediatricians can recognize and respond to red flags—even when victims don't or can't ask for help. If you've ever wondered how to protect the most vulnerable or questioned your own role in advocacy, this conversation mixes expertise and actionable strategies you can use today. Don't miss this essential episode—sometimes the most critical intervention is simply being prepared to see what others overlook.[00:00 - 06:25] Beyond Kidnapping: The Everyday Reality of Child TraffickingMedia Myths: trafficking is not always dramatic kidnappings—many victims are exploited by someone they know, sometimes in their own homes.Defining human trafficking per US federal law: for children under 18, any commercial sexual act (anything exchanged for perceived value) is trafficking, regardless of force, fraud, or coercion.Labor trafficking in children does require proof of force, fraud, or coercion, unlike sex trafficking.Children cannot legally consent to commercial sexual acts, a fact often misunderstood by practitioners.[06:26 - 18:33] Recognizing Vulnerability: Victims, Prevalence, and Persistent MythsAll children, regardless of socioeconomic status or geography, can be victimized; not just those from impoverished or unstable backgrounds.Adolescents are particularly vulnerable due to developmental, social, and neurological factors—especially girls, though all genders are at risk.The covert nature and underreporting of trafficking, with true prevalence grossly underestimated—actual victims far exceed documented cases.Practitioners should avoid assumptions about victim profiles and recognize that trafficking does not discriminate by background or location.[18:34 -24:41] Language, Reporting, and the Power of EmpathyThere is an impact of language, advocating against terms like "prostitute" or "modern day slavery," as they distort public perception and can harm survivors.There are nuanced preferences between “victim” and “survivor,” emphasizing respect for self-identification.Addresses mandated reporting: outlines state-by-state differences, reminds clinicians to know their local laws, and suggests erring on the side of caution when in doubt.Discusses the complexities of reporting and intervention with 18+ patients, promoting support over “rescue,” and collaboration over dictating solutions.[24:42 - 47:58] Identification, Patient Support, and Multi-Agency CollaborationRed flags in clinical settings: domineering non-parental adults accompanying children, delayed care-seeking, lack of address knowledge, repeated STIs, or signs of fear and withdrawal.Ways to build trust and elicit disclosures: prioritize safety, establish boundaries about reporting, and use risk-factor-based screening questions.Trauma-informed care—responding with empathy, validation, and minimal dramatization—to avoid re-traumatizing patients.Connect with local Child Advocacy Centers and understanding local resources and procedures before a crisis arises.[47:59 - 59:59] Dr. G's TakeAwaysAdditional Resources Mentioned

Understanding Unicornuate Uterus: What It Is, Prevalence, Risks, and a Positive Outlook A unicornuate uterus is a rare congenital condition where the uterus develops with only one half, or "horn," instead of the typical two-horned shape of a normal uterus. This happens during fetal development when one of the Müllerian ducts, which form the uterus, fails to develop fully. As a result, the uterus is smaller, has only one functioning fallopian tube, and may or may not have a rudimentary horn (a small, underdeveloped second horn). This condition falls under the category of Müllerian duct anomalies, which affect the female reproductive tract. For those diagnosed, understanding the condition, its implications, and the potential for a healthy pregnancy can provide reassurance and hope.   What Is a Unicornuate Uterus? The uterus typically forms as a pear-shaped organ with two symmetrical halves that fuse during fetal development. In a unicornuate uterus, only one half develops fully, creating a smaller-than-average uterine cavity. This anomaly can occur with or without a rudimentary horn, which may or may not be connected to the main uterine cavity. If a rudimentary horn is present, it might cause complications like pain if it accumulates menstrual blood, as it often lacks a connection to the cervix or vagina. The condition is often diagnosed during routine imaging, such as an ultrasound, MRI, or hysterosalpingogram (HSG), typically when a woman seeks medical advice for fertility issues, pelvic pain, or irregular menstruation. In some cases, it's discovered incidentally during pregnancy or unrelated medical evaluations.   How Prevalent Is It? Unicornuate uterus is one of the rarest Müllerian duct anomalies, occurring in approximately 0.1% to 0.4% of women in the general population. Among women with Müllerian anomalies, it accounts for about 2% to 13% of cases. The condition is congenital, meaning it's present at birth, but it often goes undiagnosed until adulthood because many women experience no symptoms. Its rarity can make it feel isolating for those diagnosed, but awareness and medical advancements have made it easier to manage and understand. Risks Associated with Unicornuate Uterus While many women with a unicornuate uterus lead healthy lives, the condition can pose challenges, particularly related to fertility and pregnancy. The smaller uterine cavity and reduced endometrial surface area can increase the risk of certain complications, though these are not inevitable. Below are some potential risks: Fertility Challenges: The smaller uterus and single fallopian tube may slightly reduce the chances of conception, especially if the rudimentary horn or other structural issues interfere with ovulation or implantation. However, many women with a unicornuate uterus conceive naturally without intervention. Miscarriage: The limited space in the uterine cavity can increase the risk of miscarriage, particularly in the first trimester. Studies suggest miscarriage rates may be higher (around 20-30%) compared to women with a typical uterus, though exact figures vary. Preterm Birth: The smaller uterus may not accommodate a growing fetus as easily, potentially leading to preterm labor or delivery before 37 weeks. Research indicates preterm birth rates in women with a unicornuate uterus range from 10-20%. Fetal Growth Restriction: The restricted uterine space can sometimes limit fetal growth, leading to low birth weight or intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR). Malpresentation: Babies in a unicornuate uterus may be more likely to position themselves in a breech or transverse position due to the confined space, which could complicate delivery. Cesarean Section: While not mandatory, a cesarean may be recommended in cases of malpresentation, preterm labor, or other complications. However, this is not a universal requirement. Other Complications: Women with a unicornuate uterus may have a higher risk of endometriosis or painful periods, especially if a non-communicating rudimentary horn is present. Kidney abnormalities are also associated with Müllerian anomalies, as the kidneys and reproductive tract develop simultaneously in the fetus. Despite these risks, it's critical to note that not every woman with a unicornuate uterus will experience these complications. With proper medical care, many achieve successful pregnancies and deliveries.   A Positive Outlook: Normal Vaginal Delivery Is Probable The diagnosis of a unicornuate uterus can feel daunting, but it's important to emphasize that a healthy, full-term pregnancy and a normal vaginal delivery are entirely possible. Advances in obstetrics and prenatal care have significantly improved outcomes for women with this condition. Here's why you can remain optimistic: Personalized Care: Working with an experienced obstetrician or maternal-fetal medicine specialist ensures close monitoring throughout pregnancy. Regular ultrasounds can track fetal growth, position, and amniotic fluid levels, allowing for timely interventions if needed. Not Doomed to Cesarean: While some women may need a cesarean due to specific complications, many with a unicornuate uterus deliver vaginally without issue. The decision depends on factors like fetal position, labor progression, and overall health, not the uterine anomaly alone. Full-Term Pregnancies Are Achievable: With careful monitoring, many women carry their pregnancies to term (37-40 weeks). Preterm birth is a risk, but it's not a certainty, and modern neonatal care can support babies born slightly early if needed. Healthy Babies: Countless women with a unicornuate uterus give birth to healthy, thriving babies. The condition does not inherently affect the baby's development or genetic health. Support and Advocacy: Connecting with others who have similar experiences, whether through online communities or support groups, can provide emotional strength and practical advice. Knowing you're not alone can make all the difference. A unicornuate uterus is a rare but manageable condition that requires awareness and, in some cases, specialized care. While there are risks to consider, they are not insurmountable, and many women with this anomaly experience successful pregnancies and vaginal deliveries without complications. With the right support, you can embrace your unique journey, knowing that a unicornuate uterus does not mean you're destined for preterm birth, cesarean delivery, or pregnancy complications. Instead, it's a testament to your resilience and the incredible capabilities of modern medicine to support you every step of the way.   Connect With Us: YouTube: Dive deeper into pregnancy tips and stories atyoutube.com/maternalresources .
