Today, Dr. Robert Whitfield speaks with Dr. Inna Lozinskaya, who's a specialist in integrative and functional medicine. They dive into the ways our hormones, chronic inflammation, and sleep are all connected. Dr. Lozinskaya explains how things like stress, gut health issues, and daily habits can throw our hormones and sleep out of balance, which is especially common for women and people with breast implants.

She also shares some straightforward, practical advice for getting better sleep and feeling your best overall. The big takeaway? There's no one-size-fits-all solution. Taking a holistic, personalized approach is key when it comes to health and optimizing your hormones.

After spending years reviewing business books, Kelly Barner knows how to recognize authors who truly move the needle–and Kate Vitasek is one of them. Her latest work, Preventing the Dispute Before It Begins: Proven Mechanisms for Fostering Better Business Relationships, co-authored with James Groton, Ellen Waldman, and Allen Waxman, takes on a surprisingly neglected topic: dispute prevention. While this topic can be applied to procurement, it's also very human, looking at business relationships from their most troubled moments and aspiring to lay out a plan as well as offering up resources to help teams and individuals stay away from the trouble.  In this episode of the Art of Supply podcast, Kelly Barner takes on her first audio book review and covers: The difference between handling conflict and proactively preventing issues in the first place How certain language, particularly within contracts, can lay the foundation for disputes even before they happen Who peacekeepers are and the role they have in strategically averting crises Links: Kate Vitasek on LinkedIn Preventing the Dispute Before It Begins: Proven Mechanisms for Fostering Better Business Relationships Kelly Barner on LinkedIn Art of Supply LinkedIn newsletter  Art of Supply on AOP Subscribe to This Week in Procurement

Welcome to another engaging episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Drew McLellan shines a spotlight on a topic that's both enjoyable and essential to agency life—fun. Drew is joined by Dr. Mike Rucker, a behavioral psychologist and author of The Fun Habit, for a lively exploration into how prioritizing fun and joy can make you a better leader, a more creative thinker, and ultimately, help you build a stronger agency. Mike delves into the science behind why Western culture tends to villainize fun in favor of productivity—and why that mindset is doing more harm than good. He unpacks concepts from positive psychology and reveals that constantly chasing happiness, or waiting for “someday” to enjoy yourself, can actually hinder well-being and lead to burnout. Instead, Mike explains the hedonic flexibility principle, which demonstrates that regularly scheduling small moments of joy leads to greater productivity, resilience, and creativity in both personal and professional realms. Drew and Mike discuss practical ways to infuse everyday life with meaningful fun, rather than relying on the occasional big vacation or forced office events. They address the challenges agency owners face, from time poverty and remote work's blurred boundaries to generational differences in attitudes toward work and leisure. Listeners will find actionable strategies for designing transition rituals, claiming genuine downtime, and fostering a culture where fun isn't just tolerated—it's championed.  Don't miss this episode if you're ready to break free from the grind and discover how making room for fun can transform your leadership, elevate your agency's performance, and improve your own well-being. By the end, you'll have practical tools to create more moments of joy for yourself and your team, and a whole new perspective on why fun is far from frivolous—it's fundamental!  A big thank you to our podcast's presenting sponsor, White Label IQ.

Episode Summary:Welcome back! Today, I sit down with Randy Gravitt, a seasoned expert in leadership development and organizational culture. We dive deep into what truly makes a great leader—character, influence, and consistency. Randy emphasizes that leadership isn't just about skills; it's about having a solid foundation rooted in humility, integrity, and genuine influence. We also explore how great leaders inspire trust, create stability, and develop teams that perform at their best, especially during challenging times. Key Highlights: - Leadership is Influence: As John Maxwell says, “Leadership is nothing more, nothing less” than influence. It's about helping people move from where they are to where they want to be. - The Iceberg Model of Leadership: About 90% of leadership comes from character—humility, teachability, service—while skills like problem-solving and vision casting are the visible 10%. - Self-Leadership First: The hardest person to lead is yourself. Prioritizing self-growth and owning your own development sets the tone for your entire organization. - Handling Challenges & Storms: Strong character and core habits act as buoys, helping you stay afloat when life throws waves and turbulence your way. - Lead by Example: Actions speak louder than words. Your behavior models what you expect from your team, family, and yourself.Recommended Resources:Interested in building a better leadership culture? Check out Randy's book, Winning Begins at Home, a leadership parable packed with practical tools for developing your personal and family life. You can find it on Amazon, Barnes & Noble, or at leadeveryday.com. Final Thought:Great leadership isn't built in a day. It's crafted through daily habits, ongoing self-improvement, and authentic influence. Start from within, and everything else will follow.

Welcome back to the Empower Her Business Accelerator podcast! I'm your host, Philippa Channer, and this month we're digging into the business activities that actually drive your growth. If you've been tuning in regularly, you know we're on a journey to help you build a smarter, more intentional business—one that works for you and not the other way around. Last week in Episode 182, we focused on identifying the tasks that genuinely move your business forward. This week, we're taking that knowledge a step further—because knowing what matters is one thing, but knowing what to do first is where the magic happens. Prioritizing effectively is what helps you move out of reaction mode and into your CEO mindset, where you're confidently steering the ship, not scrambling to bail water. So whether you're mapping out your next big launch, managing a team, or still wearing all the hats—this episode is designed to help you find clarity, ditch the busywork, and create real momentum. ⏱️ Timestamps & Key Segments (00:00) Welcome & Episode Overview We begin by grounding ourselves in the “why.” Summer is a strategic season—while many slow down, it's your chance to ramp up for a powerful fall. I remind you how the Empower Her Program can support you during this planning phase. [INSERT LINK] to explore your options. (01:00) Step 1: Identify High-Value vs. Low-Value Tasks All tasks are not created equal—and if you're spending hours tweaking your website or organizing your inbox, it might be time to reassess. I share a real example where I spent four hours trying to automate something that only saves me 15 minutes per week. That's a classic case of a low-value rabbit hole. High-value tasks? Think lead generation, offer creation, follow-ups, and collaborations—things that actually bring revenue or visibility.

You glance at the clock. It's 9:17 a.m. “Hurry up!” you holler from the kitchen. “Church starts in less than 15 minutes!”Your kids dash from room to room, grabbing their Bibles, their shoes, and maybe even a Pop-Tart. Then you're out the door and in the car. Yet despite your best race car driving skills, you're late to church—again.Can you relate to this? Do you find yourself constantly late to work, medical appointments, or other activities? Even though life is busy, make punctuality a priority. Show your son, through action, how to organize his time. Of course, this isn't easy. But through careful planning, you'll demonstrate that preparation helps life run more smoothly. Plus, when you're on time for church, all the back pews aren't already taken.For more encouragement and parenting advice, visit Trail Life USA or RaisingGodlyBoys.com.

In this episode of Integrative You Radio, Dr. Nicole and Dr. Nick dive deep into the concept that “conflict avoided is conflict multiplied.” They explore how isolation—whether from entrepreneurship, chronic illness, or strained relationships—can impact health and happiness, and why honest, humble, and methodical communication is the antidote. Drawing from personal stories, clinical experience, and frameworks like Patrick Lencioni's trust pyramid, they share practical tools for building trust, fostering win-win relationships, and showing up as better leaders, partners, and humans.   #IntegrativeYou #ConflictResolution #TrustBuilding #AuthenticLeadership #EntrepreneurLife #RelationshipGoals #Vulnerability #WinWin #PersonalGrowth #ConsciousCommunication #LimitlessLiving   3 Key Takeaways: Avoiding Conflict = Multiplying Problems: When we dodge uncomfortable conversations—at work, home, or with ourselves—we're actually allowing issues to fester and grow. Facing things head-on (with humility, not aggression) builds trust and leads to better outcomes. Trust Is Built Through Vulnerability and Win-Win Intentions: True trust isn't just about keeping promises; it's about creating space for open, honest dialogue where everyone can win. Vulnerability and methodical communication are the foundation. Quality > Quantity in Relationships: It's not about how many people fill your life, but the depth and fairness of those connections. Prioritizing clear, caring communication transforms relationships—from business to family.    Quotes:  “Conflict avoided is conflict multiplied. The last thing we want is for frustration to fester—addressing it directly, with humility, actually builds trust.” “The goal is trust. And trust is created from a win-win relationship… If everybody's winning evenly, there's maximal trust.”   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

In the next installment of the Big Ideas for Smaller Government series, host David From welcomes back Jeremiah Mosteller, Policy Director at Americans for Prosperity, to take a hard look at spending within the Department of Veterans Affairs—and what reforms are needed to better serve those who served us. Mosteller breaks down how the VA's budget has quadrupled since 2004 even though the veteran population has declined by 30%. From bloated staffing levels to $4 million contracts for services that now cost just $5,000, this episode exposes how wasteful spending is draining resources from veterans and taxpayers alike. The conversation also focuses on one reform with huge potential impact: site-neutral payments. Right now, hospitals owned by large systems can charge the federal government far more than local, independent clinics for providing the exact same services to veterans. This creates perverse incentives, drives up costs, and limits care options. Adopting site-neutral payments would save taxpayers an estimated $14 billion—and give veterans more access to timely, local care. Mosteller also exposes how top VA officials actively discourage use of the Community Care Program, forcing veterans to wait months or drive hours for treatment—while simultaneously helping process healthcare claims for unauthorized migrants. This episode makes one thing clear: reforming the VA isn't about spending less on veterans—it's about spending smarter so veterans get the care they've earned.

Prayer is one of the most important spiritual disciplines in a Christian's life. And yet so many of us go through seasons where we neglect praying. As the Apostle Paul nears the end of his letter to the church in Colossae, he calls them to prioritize this all-important practice. He calls them (and us!) to give ourselves to prayer. 

In this heartfelt episode, I sit down with Mina Irfan (aka The Universe Guru) to explore how women can maintain vibrant, juicy energy as wives and mothers.

Welcome to the third and final episode of our Community Wildfire Resilience Series, supported by Fire Aside!In this episode, we spoke with Butte County Fire Safe Council Executive Director Taylor Nilsson. Butte County, CA has seen more catastrophic fire in the last eight years than most places in the West, possibly even the world. Starting with the Camp Fire in 2018 (85 killed, 14,000 homes lost), then the North Complex in 2020 (16 killed, 2,300 structures lost), then the Park Fire in 2024 (700+ structures destroyed), Butte County has seen 50% of its Wildland Urban Interface impacted by wildfire in the last seven years, and over 90% of its WUI impacted since 1999. This being the case, folks in this area have a deep understanding not only of preparing for wildfire, but of the long process of recovering from it—while knowing from experience that they simultaneously need to be preparing for the next one. Taylor spoke about the challenges of preparing for more fire while also recovering from—in Butte County's case—multiple deeply impactful wildfires that communities are still reeling from. In what has become an increasingly common occurrence in California, communities can still be deep in the recovery phase as a fire scar cycles back into susceptibility to wildfire. The Camp Fire scar, for example, is becoming increasingly at risk to more wildfire, particularly as these previously forested landscapes have become more brush-dominated post-fire. Reforestation and restoration in such landscapes (particularly those undergoing a vegetation type conversion) is tricky, and Taylor speaks to this too—to the realities of salvage logging and how this practice can fit into sound restoration planning, as well as to the lack of technology to handle the significant biomass that needs to be removed to make recently un-burned landscapes in Butte County more resilient to future fire. We talked about the immense community trauma, and how Taylor and the Butte County staff have worked through their own healing processes while facing this community trauma firsthand. Above all, this episode highlighted the critical work that Fire Safe Councils in California do, in part because they are working one-on-one with community members in many cases and can therefore be a consistent, guiding presence through the wildfire preparedness, response and recovery phases. Communities and residents recovering from wildfire need a sustained, familiar presence like this, and this is exactly the type of thing that reduces recovery timelines and helps communities heal. As we wrap up this series, we want to once again thank Fire Aside for their support of the last three episodes of the podcast. Support like this allows us to keep this thing rolling, and we can't express how grateful we are to our supporters—past and present, including on Patreon!
