Triple board-certified physician in adult and geriatric psychiatry and addiction medicine, and the founder of The Aging Parent Coach Barbara Sparacino discusses her article "Why caring for a parent is hard for doctors." Barbara shares the personal struggle of navigating end-of-life care for her own parents despite her extensive professional training. She explains the "prophet in your own country" paradox where family members often dismiss medical advice from their own relatives. The conversation explores the heavy guilt and self-doubt that arise when the professional detachment of a doctor collides with the emotional vulnerability of a child. Barbara highlights the importance of setting boundaries to protect the parent-child relationship and offers advice on extending grace to oneself during this difficult season.

Dr. Kari Johnstone joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they discuss how traffickers adapt fast, moving money, victims, and exploitation through digital systems most of us interact with every day, examining whether our institutions are adapting fast enough to protect victims without them risking everything to testify.Dr. Kari JohnstoneDr. Kari Johnstone is the OSCE Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human Beings, representing the Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe at the political level on human trafficking issues and coordinating anti-trafficking efforts across the OSCE region. Before joining the OSCE, Dr. Johnstone spent nearly a decade (2014-2023) as Senior Official, Acting Director, and Principal Deputy Director of the U.S. Department of State's Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in Persons (J/TIP), where she advised senior leadership on global trafficking policy and programming and oversaw the annual Trafficking in Persons Report. Her extensive U.S. government service also includes senior roles in the Bureau of Democracy, Human Rights, and Labor. Dr. Johnstone holds a B.A. from the University of Michigan and a Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Berkeley.Key PointsThe OSCE survey revealed a 17-fold increase in forced criminality cases over five years across the 57 member states, making it the fastest growing form of human trafficking globally.Forced scamming, which originated in Southeast Asia, is now being exported to other regions as criminals adopt this lucrative business model that exploits victims with brutal tactics to defraud others.Technology and artificial intelligence present both challenges and opportunities in combating trafficking, allowing law enforcement to process data more quickly to find victims and perpetrators while also being misused by traffickers for recruitment and exploitation.Financial intelligence and following the money can supplement or even replace victim testimony in prosecutions, reducing the burden on survivors and providing effective pathways to convict traffickers.The non-punishment principle remains woefully inadequate in practice worldwide, with victims often arrested, prosecuted, and convicted for crimes directly related to their trafficking experience, creating lifelong consequences that prevent access to housing, employment, and stability.The United States leads globally on criminal record relief for trafficking survivors, with 48-49 states having vacature or expungement laws and new federal legislation (Trafficking Survivor Relief Act) awaiting presidential signature, though much work remains worldwide.Victim assistance must be unlinked from the criminal justice process, allowing survivors to receive care and services first before deciding whether to cooperate with law enforcement, which actually increases the likelihood they will come forward and participate.The demographics of trafficking victims are shifting beyond stereotypes, with forced scamming targeting educated individuals with IT and language skills, while forced criminality increasingly exploits younger children, including those under age 10, for drug-related crimes and violence.ResourcesOrganization for Security and Co-operation in Europe (OSCE)OSCE Office of the Special Representative and Co-ordinator for Combating Trafficking in Human BeingsProtocol to Prevent, Suppress and Punish Trafficking in Persons (UN Palermo Protocol)UN Global Plan of Action to Combat Trafficking in PersonsU.S. State Department Office to Monitor and Combat Trafficking in PersonsTrafficking in Persons ReportTrafficking Survivors Relief ActEnding Human Trafficking PodcastTranscriptTranscript will be here when available.
On this solo episode, Stacey is talking about how failure, and the fear of failure, can show up in your business journey and in your life.Key takeaways:-Inaction is usually about priorities.-Those who judge failure, are projecting. It isn't about you.-The great thing about programming is that it can be written over.Tweetable Quotes:"I define failure as feedback. What didn't work and what did work. " -Stacey O'Byrne"More times than not, inaction is about priorities instead of the lack of any external resources." -Stacey O'Byrne"People who judge you for failing, are projecting how they feel about themselves out on you." -Stacey O'ByrneResources:Instagram: @pivotpointadvantageSchedule a 15 minute call with Stacey: http://pivotpointadvantage.com/talktostaceyIf you're ready to take yourself and your business to the next level and are interested in a coaching program that will get you there check out: http://pivotpointadvantage.com/iwantsuccess Join an interactive environment to help you build the success you've always wanted with other like-minded, success-driven entrepreneurs, business owners, and sales professionals: https://facebook.com/groups/sellwithoutselling
Imagine feeling so sick during pregnancy that even water won't stay down, that's Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), a severe form of morning sickness that can leave women bedridden and depleted. But what if HG isn't just bad luck or genetics? In today's episode, I sit down with Jes Reynolds, who challenges the common myths surrounding HG and reveals how it often signals deeper physiological imbalances, from nutrient deficiencies to hidden toxicities. Together, we explore how holistic preconception prep can transform the way women experience pregnancy, showing that fertility, morning sickness and HG are reflections of overall health, not isolated conditions. Episode Highlights: What is HG? Hyperemesis Gravidarum and how is it different than regular morning sickness? Think HG is purely genetic? Jes challenges that belief, diving into the surprising role of epigenetics and why your genes aren't the full story Discover why HG might be more common and more misunderstood than you think Jes reveals the subtle health clues that may signal increased HG risk and shares how fertility and pregnancy symptoms mirror our overall health What if morning sickness wasn't random, but a message from your body? Learn how deeper imbalances and deficiencies could be at play Jes explains how proactive preconception work can create a healthier pregnancy and even influence future generations If you're LOVING this podcast, please follow and leave a rating and review below.

In today's conversation, former CFL player Steve White joins the podcast to share the story of how his life unraveled — and how he rebuilt it from the ground up. After years of concussions, post-concussion syndrome, seizures, illness, and personal loss, Steve hit rock bottom. What followed wasn't a recovery, but a full reconstruction: rebuilding his brain, body, and faith through disciplined systems rooted in breath, movement, environment, nutrition, nervous-system regulation, and purpose. In this conversation, Steve explains how brain injuries reshape emotion and identity, why trust in yourself must be rebuilt deliberately, and how science and faith-based discipline can bring someone back from the edge. If you want to understand what it takes to come back from neurological collapse and build a life that's stronger than ever, this episode is for you. This podcast dives into: How concussions and PCS alter brain health and emotional regulation. The hidden psychological toll of neurological injury. Rebuilding self-trust after physical and personal collapse. The mindset behind the Brae 100 method.

Some of the "best" performers on your team might be quietly falling apart. They hit every target, say "I'm fine," and get celebrated for their numbers but inside they're exhausted, anxious, and one tough week away from walking out. I have a powerful story from my financial career about a colleague who pushed so hard for production that they ended up quitting, never fully grasping their value to the team or to the clients they served. The leader focused on the bottom line, not the human being, and everyone lost in the long run. Real leadership is not just managing output; it's seeing the person behind the performance and leading with a generous mindset. Output‑only leadership is different than generous, human‑centered leadership where empathy, psychological safety, and genuine connection are strategic tools, not "soft" extras. There are six practical practices that help generous leaders notice subtle shifts, create safety, ask better questions, address the whole person, lead with humanity before productivity, and invest in inner capacity so performance becomes sustainable instead of fragile. This episode will allow you to examine how you're treating your own high performers, and yourself, and challenges you to lead in a way that protects people from breaking on the inside while still driving meaningful results. *Enroll in the "Feeling Generous" Email course

Native Fire-Resistant Grass from North America (USA & Canada) to Prevent Forest and Urban Wildfires refers to naturally occurring grass species that evolved in the fire-prone landscapes of North America and possess characteristics that help reduce the intensity, speed, and spread of wildfires. These grasses are native to the United States and Canada, meaning they developed over thousands of years in balance with local climates, soils, wildlife, and natural fire cycles. Unlike invasive or highly flammable grasses, fire-resistant native grasses tend to have higher moisture content, deeper root systems, and growth patterns that do not easily carry flames. Because of these traits, they are increasingly recognized as an ecological tool for wildfire prevention rather than as fuel for fire.In forests, grasslands, and wildland–urban interface zones, native fire-resistant grasses play a quiet but important protective role. Their dense root networks stabilize soil, retain moisture, and reduce dry surface debris that often ignites during heatwaves or droughts. Many of these grasses grow in clumps or low-lying forms, creating natural breaks in fuel continuity that slow down advancing fires. When fire does occur, these grasses tend to burn at lower temperatures and recover quickly afterward, supporting ecosystem renewal without escalating into destructive megafires. This natural resilience makes them valuable allies in sustainable land and forest management across North America.In urban and suburban environments, especially near forests or open land, native fire-resistant grasses are used as living fire buffers. They are planted along roadsides, parks, green belts, and residential landscapes to reduce wildfire risk while maintaining ecological beauty. Because they are adapted to local conditions, they require less irrigation, fewer chemicals, and minimal maintenance compared to non-native ornamental plants. Beyond fire prevention, these grasses improve air quality, support pollinators, and enhance biodiversity. In this way, native fire-resistant grasses offer a simple, elegant, and nature-based solution for protecting both wild landscapes and human communities from the growing threat of wildfires.

It is a woeful thing to consider what slight thoughts most have about this thing. So men are content that they can keep themselves from sin itself in open action; they scarcely aim at more; all sorts of men will risk any temptation in the world, at any time. How young men will put themselves into any company, any society; at first, being delighted with evil company, and they are then with the evil of the company!

In this episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi explains why heart disease is not caused by cholesterol, but by silent inflammation and damage to the arterial lining. Ben breaks down how plaque actually forms, why standard cholesterol labs often miss real cardiovascular risk, and how insulin spikes, oxidized LDL, chronic stress, and gut-derived toxins quietly damage blood vessels over time. He introduces a science-backed “artery repair plate” designed to restore endothelial function and calm inflammation using four key foods: Arugula or beets to boost nitric oxide and improve blood flow Wild-caught salmon to reduce inflammation and stabilize plaque Fermented vegetables to lower endotoxins and support gut-artery signaling Extra virgin olive oil to prevent LDL oxidation and improve arterial flexibility The episode also covers which lab markers actually matter, common foods and habits that damage arteries, and a simple three-day arterial reset protocol to support long-term heart health. Ben emphasizes that the body is not broken. When the right signals are present and inflammation is removed, healing becomes natural.

Interview with Stephen Thomas, MD
Today on Window Treatments for Profit Hiring is exhausting.Training is expensive.And losing good people doesn't set you back weeks. It sets you back months. In this episode of Window Treatments for Profit, we're continuing our January WWLD series with Decision #3: Stabilize Your Team So You're Not Constantly Starting Over. If you feel like you're always retraining adults on the basics, this episode will challenge a hard truth: the issue usually isn't effort. It's leadership and systems. We talk about why retention has very little to do with perks and everything to do with expectations, standards, and clarity. You'll hear why chaos drives good employees away faster than money, and how strong leadership creates teams that step up, protect your reputation, and carry the business forward even when you're not in the room. This episode is for experienced owners who want: Fewer mistakes and less rework A team that understands the big picture Stability that holds up during busy seasons and hard moments Leadership systems that work week after week, not just during reviews This isn't about being nicer.It's about being clearer. And it's one of the most overlooked decisions that changes profit, time, and control in your business. Shorten response time so problems don't linger. Unresolved issues don't just disappear. They get heavier. And the longer they sit, the more they cost you. In this episode, LuAnn explains why slow response times turn otherwise manageable problems into trust-breakers, how businesses unintentionally train themselves to be reactive instead of professional, and why silence is never neutral in the eyes of your customer. You'll also learn three practical action steps to help you: Prevent problems from falling through the cracks Assign clear ownership instead of relying on memory Close the communication loop so customers feel informed, not ignored LuAnn shares real-world lessons from Window Works, including why some of her most loyal and referral-heavy clients were ones where something initially went wrong — and how fast, consistent follow-through made all the difference. This episode is not about perfection. It's about intention, clarity, and leadership. And it's one of the fastest ways to protect both your profit and your sanity.

Does thinking about 2026 make you feel excited… or a little anxious? Then let's talk about Fear Setting.If you're walking into the new year with big dreams and big doubts, you're in good company. In this episode, I share a powerful mental and emotional exercise called fear setting, popularized by author and entrepreneur Tim Ferriss, that has helped me face my fears with more clarity and confidence.Unlike goal setting, fear setting asks you to define exactly what you're afraid of, explore ways to reduce or prevent those fears, and consider how you'd recover if the worst did happen. It sounds intense, but it's a surprisingly freeing process that can help you move forward instead of staying stuck.I walk you through the three key parts of fear setting using a personal example — my journey to cotinue building Podground as we move into the new year. This simple exercise helped me name what I was afraid of (from rejection to the fear of success), and then take small, intentional steps forward with faith and focus.Whether you're considering a job change, a creative project, or just feel pulled toward something new — this episode will help you get clear on what's stopping you, and why it doesn't have to.This episode is for you if:You want to do something big or new in 2026 but feel afraidYou feel overwhelmed by your own expectationsYou've been stuck in overthinking and are ready for clarityYou want a faith-based approach to bold, wise decision-making What You'll Learn:What fear setting is, and how Tim Ferriss used it to make bold life decisionsA 3-part fear setting framework: Define, Prevent, and RepairHow to consider both the benefits of action and the cost of inactionA real-life example of how I used fear setting to step into growthA reminder that God can be trusted with your future and your fearsScripture Mentioned: Proverbs 3:5-6 "Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight."
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: Savanna: Hi Dr Cabral. My daughter was diagnosed with PANDAS through blood work after i noticed âlot of behavioral regression. She has also been recently diagnosed with level one, high functioning autism. I feel like a detective trying to figure out whats causing these flares. Some months she has seemingly zero symptoms. Then something sets it off (of course the sickness is one culprit causing the PANDAS) but over laps into autistic behaviors. I guess Im trying to ask for help in this mystery of triggers. Also suggestions of where to start to boost her immune system to prevent the sickness in the first place. I feel so discouraged as a parent not knowing how to help my child and watching her suffer. Just as I think I find a good supplement, it stops working. Such as valerian. We were using it as one calming aid and it worked for months and now all the sudden doesnt seem to be doing anything. This has happened with supplements in the past. I did your heavy metal detox and parasite cleanse with her a few years ago. Thnx Yvonne: As a post-menopausal woman, according to my gynecologist, I am not eligible for bioidentical hormones. Is it ok to take DHEA after a certain age due to ongoing menopause symptoms of facial aging, insomnia, vaginal dryness etc and, if so, what dosage? Emily: Hi Dr Cabral, I am currently working through an autoimmune face rash. I am working with a local integrative functional doctor who is recommending low dose naltrexone, and many other items. What are your thoughts on LDN? Harmful, helpful? How long should one stay on it? Laura: Hi, I'm interested in what ingredients are ok in supplements and food.. for example, hydroxypropyl methylcellulose in baking or in supplements, different gums, which additives are ok? Thank you Sheena: HI Dr.C! Hope you and your team are well. I'm a 45 year old in perimenopause and would like to prevent osteoporosis. Could you give me some advice on what's the best way to do this? I take foundational level 3 plus added vitamin D, magnesium, zinc and vitamin b. complex. I'm not not taking any calcium supplements except from my multi. Is this a prob? Do I need a special protocol for perimenopause support and osteo? Any advice and recommendations will be appreciated! thank you!

Winter worsens migraines because cold, darkness, and routine disruption overload your nervous system and reduce your brain's ability to regulate pain signals Seasonal drops in light exposure disrupt melatonin and circadian rhythm, lowering your brain's resilience and increasing headache frequency and intensity Excess LA from seed oils damages mitochondrial energy production, making your brain more reactive to stress and more prone to migraine attacks in any season Stable daily patterns — consistent sleep timing, hydration, meals, and movement — reduce neurological stress and raise your migraine threshold Restoring cellular energy by lowering LA intake and supporting mitochondrial function helps your brain stay calm, resilient, and less reactive year-round
There's growing concern around AI and our children's safety.... We've spoken a few times this year about chatbots having inappropriate conversations with minors and how this can impact kids' and teens' wellbeing. Rep. Doug Fiefia joins the show to discuss two bills he's proposing, aimed at regulating how AI chatbots interact with children to protect them from explicit content and keep the bots from encouraging self-harm.
In episode two of our Injury Focus Series, I'm joined again by Dr. Kameron Harder — Doctor of Physical Therapy and head strength coach at Ridge Athletics — to break down some of the most frustrating and lingering injuries runners deal with.Shin splints. Achilles pain. Plantar fasciitis.These are the issues that seem to show up out of nowhere, stick around forever, and derail training blocks when things are finally going well.In this episode, we dig into why these injuries are so stubborn, what most runners misunderstand about them, and how strength, load management, and movement quality actually play a role in keeping you running pain-free.We cover:• Why lower-leg injuries tend to linger longer than knee or hip pain• What's really happening when pain “warms up” during a run• How small changes (surface, shoes, drop) can quietly overload tissue• The difference between managing symptoms vs. fixing the root issue• Why some injuries keep coming back even when mileage stays the same• How strength and force absorption connect to durability• What runners should be doing before pain ever shows upIf you've ever dealt with recurring lower-leg pain — or want to avoid it altogether — this episode will change how you think about injury, strength training, and long-term durability as a runner.
! JOIN SHERI HORN HASAN for this & more Astro News You Can Use! @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking which drops today, January 23!Ok, so we're in the first quarter waxing stage of the Cap New Moon since January 18, that asked us to stand our ground through group strength--since this lunation had not only both luminaries but Mars & ME in Capricorn trine to UR Rx in Taurus.In addition, all of these planets—the MO, SU, Mars, & ME in Cap—were sextile NE & SA in Pisces. These sexiles provided opportunities to take action to stand our ground by drawing lines in the sand, while the trines provided the wind at the backs of groups doing so.Venus entered Aquarius January 17, & as this lunation began to wax after January 18 the Sun & Mercury did likewise this past week. In addition, we witnessed Venus conjoin Pluto, the Sun conjoin Mercury, Mercury conjoin Pluto, & then a Sun/Pluto conjunction all between January 19 & today, January 23.Essentially this has moved these inner planets—so prevalent during their conjunctions to the Capricorn Sun at the January 18 Capricorn New Moon providing the seed of standing our ground was planeted—into the sign of Aquarius now.So, the message of this month's lunar cycle was to hold fast to our foundational humanitarian beliefs—those shared by large groups of others as that lunation since it trined progressive forward thinking Uranus, still retrograde in Taurus, & sextiled Saturn & Neptune in empathic Pisces.As we watch this lunation's seeds begin to sprout at January 25's first quarter waxing square of the Taurus Moon to the Aquarius Sun—as all of these planets have not only shifted into Aquarius but conjoined with Pluto there—we can see what the “crisis in action” phase of the lunar cycle calls us now to do. And that's resist fixed Aquarian idealistic philosophies that have hardened into ideological beliefs that do not serve the masses. With the normally placid, calm, & change resistant Taurus Moon in square to the Aquarius Sun, Mars, Pluto, Vesta, Mercury, & Venus, we've got massive tension brewing.The Taurus Moon wants to protect its resources—including its physical body--& faces resistance now from those who believe that cutting healthcare resources for its citizens & that tossing out all immigrants in a xenophobic fit will make America great again. As we approach this first quarter monthly lunar phase, the Taurus Moon portends such resistance by citizen groups against those groups who hold such fixed ideologies. For example, those tasked to round up, detain, or even injure or kill anyone who looks or sounds “different” (read: not part of the ideologically-inspired socially acceptable “group”) without abiding by any formerly adhered to legal restraints.This may spark some violent actions—we won't know unless & until it happens—between now and January 27 when Mars conjoins Pluto exact in Aquarius. An aspect that can bring the perpetrator & the victim together in the same place at the same time, Mars/Pluto frictional aspects such as the conjunction can lead to an emotionally volatile & intensely physical kind of energy.An energy where one faction tries to disempower (read: overpower) another. Mars is a physical planet, one that takes action. On one hand martial energy represents motivation, ambition, & self-assertion. On the other, it can go over the top and become overly aggressive, bloodthirsty, vengeful, & violent.Pluto, discovered in 1930 when the U.S. was working on creating the atom bomb, represents explosiveness that can lead to an evolutionary transformation. The Mars/Pluto combo perfecting January 27 portends the possibility of a potentially explosive situation between “victims” & “perpetrators” that might spark a wider conflagration.This may be in evidence as residents begin a massive general strike in Minnesota today. According to Aaron Parnas in The Parnas Perspective: “Hundreds of Minnesota businesses, workers, and students are participating in the “ICE Out! Statewide Shutdown,” an economic blackout urging people to skip work, school, and shopping to protest intensified ICE activity in the Twin Cities—sparked by the Jan. 7 killing of Renee Good by an ICE officer.”“More than 300 businesses [are] or donating proceeds, [with] some schools offering remote learning, and organizers framing the action as a nonviolent show of solidarity with immigrant communities despite major financial losses,” he adds.It's called “civil unrest.” It's happened before in this nation. And it will happen again. The results of such actions remain to be seen, but as Martin Luther King—who's memory we just celebrated this past week—said: "The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends toward justice." NEPTUNE RE-ENTERS MARTIAL ARIES JANUARY 27: DISSOLUTION & RECONSTRUCTION?That brings us to the fact that Neptune re-enters the Mars-ruled sign of Aries on January 27. When Neptune entered Aries for the first time in 165 years on March 30, 2025, it conjured up the recurrence of the start of the U.S. Civil War which began the day before Neptune's ingress into the sign of war on April 12, 1861.Saturn follows suit & re-enters Aries February 13, & then conjoins exact with Neptune at 0'45” Aries on February 20. This combination heralds a whole bunch of things, but as these two planets have traveled closely together since last spring, we've clearly seen the dissolution (Neptune) of foundational structure (Saturn), as well as the dissolution of the rules of war (Aries.)That's been obvious since last September when the U.S. began bombing small boats in the Caribbean & the Pacific with no proof that they were carrying drugs headed for the U.S. Hence, it was a violation of international maritime law when shipwrecked survivors were then killed in follow up strikes—rather than captured & interrogated, as per—again—established international maritime law.We've seen the dissolution of U.S. Government structures since the second term of President Trump--one of the most “us versus them” vengeful people hell bent on retribution against anyone who called him on his illegal activities including inciting an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol on January 6, 2021.As this Saturn/Neptune in Aries takes greater hold, we also know that it's heralded the downfall of nations in the past. In 1989, this planetary conjunction was followed by the fall of the Berlin Wall & the decimation of the U.S.S.R. Now, whether it does the same in Iran—or here in America eventually—also remains to be seen. What we do know, however, is that Saturn/Neptune cycle has major implications for the next 36 or so years. Meanwhile Neptune's 14-year transit through a sign means it will remain in Aries until 2038.However, faster moving Saturn transits each sign for approximately 2.5 years. Given that these two will conjoin close to the U.S. natal Sibly chart's IC, or Mars-ruled 4th House of home, security, tradition, the past, memory, & represents this nation's psychological roots, we may well be witnessing the beginning of what's known in traditional astrology as “the end of the matter.”That's because when planets cross the 4th House cusp—in any chart—they begin their upward trajectory, first toward the partnership-oriented 7th House cusp's Descendant & then to the Midheaven's 10th House cusp.Saturn will take seven years from now to reach the U.S. Descendant, then come above the horizon to be more clearly seen, & hit the Midheaven in approximately 14 years. It's then that the reckoning of the past 14 years will become obvious.For more on all of this—including Astro News You Can Use from last week's Davos, Switzerland's World Economic Forum & Trump TACO'g again on his threats to invade Greenland & tariff European nations--as all of those planetary conjunctions to Pluto occurred—tune in @ https://www.karmicevolution.com/astrologically-speaking starting today, January 23, at 11 a.m. PT & 2 p.m. ET!See you then!

In this conversation, we talk with Scott Black about how complacency shows up quietly—skipping the notes, assuming nothing changed, letting small red flags slide—and how that leads to "oh no" moments. We dig into why consistency isn't boring, it's protective: for pets, for clients, and for your team. Scott shares practical ways to raise the bar through screening, documentation, and clearer boundaries around what you will and won't do. The goal is simple: stay professional, stay prepared, and keep your head in the game. Main topics: Complacency vs. consistent care Documentation that prevents mistakes Screening for risk and fit Insurance, liability, and boundaries Emergency planning and preparedness Main takeaway: "If you're consistent, you won't get complacent." That line hits because complacency rarely shows up as a big decision—it shows up as a skipped step. You stop re-reading the notes. You assume the meds are the same. You let a red flag wait until the meet-and-greet. Consistency is what keeps your head in the game when the schedule is full and your brain is tired. It's not about being robotic—it's about building a repeatable standard that protects the pets, the client, your team, and you. About our guest: Scott Black is a veteran pet care professional with 20 years in business, known for his thorough, safety-first approach to pet sitting and client communication. He emphasizes consistency, documentation, and preparedness as the foundation for preventing avoidable emergencies and liability issues. Scott is passionate about professional standards, ongoing training, and helping newer pet sitters avoid mistakes it took him years to learn. He regularly shares insights in industry groups and encourages pet care pros to keep the "P" in professional pet sitting.

In this powerful episode of the Freedom Challenge Online Podcast, host Tracy Daugherty sits down with Jessica Whittle, Director of Freedom Challenge Africa, to confront the global case of human trafficking — a crisis impacting nearly 50 million worldwide.Together, they break down what trafficking truly looks like today: sexual exploitation, forced labor, domestic servitude, child marriage, organ harvesting, online exploitation, and the rise of scam centers. They talk openly about the vulnerabilities traffickers target — poverty, displacement, age, lack of opportunity — and the spiritual darkness driving this brutal industry.But woven through the heaviness is deep hope.Tracy and Jessica share the story of how Freedom Challenge began, the four pillars that shape the work (Prevent, Develop, Rescue, Restore), and how OM projects around the world are changing lives — from TrafficWise trainings in Africa to safe houses and long‑term restoration programs globally.This conversation reminds every listener: You cannot fix 50 million… but you can move toward one.
