A traumatic birth can happen to anyone, and it's much more common than we might think. Today's show focuses on birth trauma, what it looks like, and how the healing journey can positively reshape someone's parenting experience. There is help! Join us to learn more! Dr. Maya Weir is a clinical psychologist who specializes in birth trauma and the emotional transitions of early parenthood. Inspired by her own experience of becoming a parent, she understands how profound, overwhelming, and transformative this stage of life can be. Dr. Weir supports parents in making sense of their journey, healing from birth trauma, and cultivating grounded, connected ways to move forward. She offers short-term therapy for individuals and couples who are processing birth trauma, along with longer-term support for parents navigating the challenges of early parenthood. Based in Napa, CA, Dr. Weir provides virtual therapy throughout CA. Show Highlights: Birth trauma: an explanation and examples Many people go through birth trauma and don't realize it until later. Invalidation compounds the original trauma. Common symptoms of birth trauma: triggering memories, anxiety, and relationship issues Strategies used to address birth trauma focus on somatic techniques. Expected results of therapy for birth trauma Understanding the intersection of different types of trauma Therapy for birth trauma addresses feelings of guilt, blame, and failure. Huge issues remain in the birthing system regarding how mothers are treated and spoken to in the sacred moments of childbirth. A partner can feel shame for “not showing up” to prevent birth trauma. (Partners can greatly benefit from therapy, too!) Recognizing generational shifts in parenting today Key takeaways from Dr. Weir: “Healing is possible, your birth story deserves space, and you deserve to feel better and have access to parenting resources.” Resources:  Connect with Dr. Maya Weir Website and Instagram Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.

Annalisa De Simone"Ingrata"Nutrimenti Edizioniwww.nutrimenti.netUn romanzo duro, una storia che guarda negli occhi l'ambizione e che, senza paura, la viviseziona. Il desiderio di potere non conosce limiti, e Annalisa De Simone lo racconta con grande maestria.Letizia si trasferisce a Roma per frequentare l'università, poi decide di restarci, dopo la laurea, per trovare un lavoro. Ma non uno qualsiasi, non ha alcuna intenzione di accontentarsi: lei vuole entrare nelle stanze in cui risiede il potere. Così il padre malato, vedovo da tanti anni – la madre di Letizia è morta quando lei era bambina –, la affida al compaesano famoso, al compaesano che ce l'ha fatta: il sindacalista Tonino Giuliante. Lui le farà da mentore, lui la aiuterà. Tra Letizia e Giuliante, però, nasce qualcosa, qualcosa di inaspettato e, per certi versi, sconveniente, qualcosa che va avanti per quasi trent'anni, che segue la parabola discendente di Giuliante – un tempo ragazzo prodigio: dal piccolo agglomerato abruzzese alla segreteria del Psi – e quella ascendente di Letizia che, con spregiudicatezza, punta in alto e tira dritto.Dal 1992 a oggi. La protagonista di questo romanzo racconta quasi trent'anni della propria vita, dall'infanzia in un piccolo paese dell'Abruzzo alla capitale. E racconta la sua ambizione feroce, la sua necessità di riscatto, la sua brama di potere. Ma cosa si cela dietro desideri tanto sfrenati? Il potere è una forma di difesa dalla solitudine, dalla paura dell'abbandono? Cosa ci rimane quando, giunti lì dove abbiamo lavorato per arrivare, capiamo che la vita era altrove, che ne abbiamo dissipato una grande parte inseguendo stelle bugiarde, finte?“Tutti siamo destinati a tornare nei luoghi e dalle persone che abbiamo tradito.”Annalisa De Simone. nata a L'Aquila nel 1983, ma oggi vive a Roma. È stata presidente del teatro Stabile d'Abruzzo e nel consiglio d'amministrazione di Cinecittà, collabora con la Rai. Scrive per Linkiesta e il Riformista.

Ryan and Alex explore the overlap between consciousness and unseen intelligences, digging into thought forms, disembodied entities, and tulpas, ideas that suggest the mind may help create or shape non-physical realities. Drawing on Rupert Sheldrake's theory of morphic resonance, they discuss whether reality itself has memory, and whether belief, attention, and pattern play a role in encounters with the unknown.

Di balik migrasi kader NasDem ke PSI, Sulawesi Selatan muncul sebagai medan perebutan kekuasaan yang jauh lebih strategis dari sekadar politik elektoral.

There is much to consider about the intersection of perimenopause, ADHD, and postpartum. With more and more people choosing to have babies later in life, there is the likelihood that the start of perimenopause may coincide with the perinatal period. Those with ADHD have another variable thrown into the mix. We are tackling these topics with our expert guest today. Please join us! Kara Cruz is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Perinatal Mental Health Specialist, private practice owner, clinical supervisor, women's mental health advocate, and educator. Her areas of focus are reproductive mental health, ADHD, complex trauma, and mood and anxiety conditions.

🧭 REBEL Rundown 🗝️ Key Points 💉 Hydrocortisone Saves Lives:The 2023 Cape Cod Trial (NEJM) showed a clear mortality benefit and reduced need for intubation in severe CAP patients treated with hydrocortisone.📊 Guidelines Are Catching Up:The SCCM (2024) and ERS now recommend steroids for severe CAP, while ATS/IDSA updates are still pending.🔥 Redefining “Severe”:Patients requiring high FiO₂ (>50%), noninvasive or mechanical ventilation, or PSI >130 meet criteria for steroid therapy — even outside the ICU.🍬 Main Risk = Hyperglycemia:Elevated glucose was the most consistent adverse effect, but rates of GI bleed and secondary infection were not increased.🧭 Early, Targeted Use Matters:Start hydrocortisone within 24 hours of identifying severity — especially in patients with high CRP (>150) or strong inflammatory response. Click here for Direct Download of the Podcast. 📝 Introduction Corticosteroids have long sparked debate in the treatment of bacterial pneumonia — once viewed with skepticism, now increasingly supported by high-quality evidence. In this episode, Dr. Alex Chapa joins the REBEL Core Cast team to explore how the 2023 Cape Cod Trial (NEJM) reshaped practice and guideline recommendations for severe community-acquired pneumonia (CAP). 📖 Historical Context & Long-Standing Skepticism For decades, the use of steroids in pneumonia was controversial.Early Use: Steroids entered practice in the 1940s and 50s for autoimmune inflammation, but there was immediate hesitation regarding secondary superinfections.Mixed Data: From the 1980s to the 2000s, small studies emerged on severe pneumonia and ARDS, but the data was inconsistent. Different trials used varying definitions of “severe” pneumonia and different C-reactive protein (CRP) cutoffs, making the data “spread” and easy to “cherry pick” to support or deny a benefit.Past Guidelines: This uncertainty was reflected in official guidelines:2007 (ATS/IDSA): The American Thoracic Society and the Infectious Diseases Society of America did not address the topic due to insufficient data.2019 (ATS/IDSA): Pre-COVID, the guidelines recommended against using corticosteroids in severe CAP. They acknowledged no benefit for non-severe pneumonia, but the data for severe pneumonia was considered too weak to endorse.Pre-Trial Consensus: Prior to 2023, the consensus was to avoid steroids in non-severe pneumonia, while severe pneumonia remained a “gray area” with no treatment showing a clear mortality difference. 📜 The Landmark Cape Cod Trial (NEJM 2023) The Cape Cod trial, published in the New England Journal of Medicine in 2023, reignited the discussion by providing robust, positive data.Trial Design: Phase 3, multi-center, double-blind, randomized, controlled trial.Intervention: 800 patients randomized to two groups, Hydrocortisone as a continuous infusion (200mg/day) versus a placebo infusion.Taper: On day 4, clinicians would decide whether to continue the infusion or begin a taper based on clinical response.Population: Patients with severe CAP, defined by meeting at least one of the following criteria:Pneumonia Severity Index (PSI) > 130.O2 by FiO2 ratio < 300.Need for mechanical or non-invasive ventilation (with PEEP ≥ 5).Need for high FiO2 (>50%) via non-rebreather or heated high flow.Primary Outcomes: Death for any cause 6.2% (hydrocortisone) vs 11.9% (placebo)Secondary outcomes:Death from any cause at 90 days 9.3% (hydrocortisone) vs 14.7% (placebo)Endotracheal intubation 18% (hydrocortisone) vs 29% (placebo)Hospital-acquired infections 9.8% (hydrocortisone) vs 11.1% (placebo)Gastrointestinal bleeding 2.3% (hydrocortisone) vs 3.3% (placebo)Vasopressor initiation by day 28 15.3% (hydrocortisone) vs 25.0% (placebo)Key Findings: The trial demonstrated superiority for hydrocortisone 📋 Updated Guidelines & Current Practice The Cape Cod trial, along with subsequent meta-analyses, has begun to change official recommendations.Society of Critical Care Medicine (SCCM): In 2024, an SCCM expert panel, reviewing the Cape Cod trial and 18 others, strongly recommended corticosteroids for severe CAP. They concluded that steroids reduce mortality and the need for mechanical ventilation.Meta-Analysis (Smit et al.): A 2024 meta-analysis in Lancet Respiratory confirmed the 30-day mortality benefit.European Respiratory Society (ERS): The ERS has issued a recommendation to use steroids for severe pneumonia but still urges caution regarding side effects.ATS/IDSA: As of the podcast recording, the ATS/IDSA had not yet updated their 2019 guidelines. 🛠️ Practical Application for Clinicians Defining “Severe” CAP: The key is to identify patients who qualify as “severe”. This can be done using:Scoring Tools: The PSI is the best validated tool for mortality but is cumbersome. Simpler tools like CURB-65 or SMART-COP are practical and acceptable for defining severity. 2023 meta-analysis from by Zaki et al showed both work well, but CURB-65 has better mortality prediction early on.Cape Cod Criteria: Any patient meeting the trial’s inclusion criteria (e.g., high-flow O2, non-invasive ventilation) qualifies, regardless of location (ED, floor, or ICU).Biomarkers: While not required, a CRP level was used in many studies. A CRP > 150 (Cape Cod) or > 204 (Smit meta-analysis) strongly indicates severe inflammation that would benefit from steroids.Clinical Judgment: A patient who looks “sick,” has “soft” blood pressure, or has dense infiltrates and high oxygen needs (e.g., >50% FiO2 on high flow) is a candidate.Adverse Effects:Hyperglycemia: This was the most significant risk identified, with rates between 6-12%. This is a primary concern, especially in patient populations with high BMI.GI Bleed & Secondary Infection: Fears of these side effects, which contributed to historical skepticism, were not borne out in the Cape Cod trial. The data does not support being overly concerned.Other Side Effects: Mood changes, delirium, insomnia, and agitation in the elderly are known side effects of steroids that were not specifically addressed in the trial but remain clinical concerns. 🔄 Clinical Pathway for Steroids in Severe CAP Unanswered Questions & Future Research Possible remaining questions:Biomarkers: Can we find a more precise CRP level to distinguish moderate from severe disease? Could other markers like ferritin or IL-6 be used? Dosing & Tapering: How much immunomodulation is needed, and when is it truly safe to taper?Gender Differences: Early data suggests females may respond better to steroids and experience fewer side effects. The question of female patients with severe CAP require less corticosteroids needs further exploration. 👉 Clinical Bottom Line The current literature, spearheaded by the Cape Cod trial, now supports the use of corticosteroids in severe community-acquired pneumonia. The best evidence currently points to hydrocortisone, started early (within 24 hours) after severity is identified using a validated tool. While hyperglycemia is a risk, the previous fears of GI bleeding and secondary infections were not substantiated in recent, rigorous trials. 📚 References Chapa-Rodriguez A, Abou-Elmagd T, O’Rear C, Narechania S.

Tonight, my Haunted Hearts, I'm honored to welcome Ryan Kralik. Ryan Kralik is an author and independent researcher exploring how information shapes the structure of reality, from physics and biology to consciousness and culture. His work draws on systems thinking, contemporary physics, and cognitive science to examine how informational processes underlie physical phenomena and give rise to meaning, perception, and continuity across domains. His writing and research have been featured in Ancient Origins, Greek Reporter, Aperture Magazine, and across a range of programs focused on cosmology, anomalies and foundational questions about reality.His forthcoming book, It From Us – An Information-First Framework and the Purpose of Consciousness, presents a model in which matter, life, and awareness emerge from information organizing itself toward coherence. Trained in remote viewing and engaged for decades in the study of anomalous phenomena, Kralik brings a disciplined, analytical approach to topics such as UAPs, psi research, and consciousness—seeking an integrated framework that bridges empirical inquiry and human experience without reducing either.Ryan's Links:Website: https://itfromus.com/

Russell Targ is a physicist and parapsychology researcher best known for his pioneering work in remote viewing and for co-founding the U.S. government–funded research program at Stanford Research Institute (SRI) that trained intelligence operatives, including members of the CIA, in psychic espionage techniques. Targ's work explored the measurable capabilities of human consciousness to perceive information beyond the limits of space and time. Through experiments, declassified programs, and decades of teaching, he has argued that remote viewing is a real, trainable human ability—one that challenges conventional assumptions about mind, perception, and the nature of reality.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-x-zone-radio-tv-show--1078348/support.Please note that all XZBN radio and/or television shows are Copyright © REL-MAR McConnell Meda Company, Niagara, Ontario, Canada – www.rel-mar.com.

Sitting on the sidelines is no longer neutral. But this episode is not about fear or survival. It is about leadership. How to adapt, build real capability, and lead with purpose and a distinctly human edge. Want to know more about Peter? Peter's mastermind for building real AI capability:

In this episode, I critically examine the widespread claim that quantum physics provides scientific proof for magic, esotericism, and spiritual practice. I explore what prominent scholars have actually proposed about possible links between quantum mechanics, consciousness, and interconnected phenomena, carefully situating these ideas within their proper academic and disciplinary contexts.I then address why concepts such as the observer effect, wavefunction collapse, entanglement, and energy are so frequently misunderstood and misused in spiritual and New Age discourse, paying particular attention to questions of scale, decoherence, and category error. Throughout, my aim is not to dismiss lived experience or magical practice, but to argue for intellectual precision and methodological honesty.I conclude by acknowledging areas where scientific inquiry remains genuinely open, especially in relation to consciousness, while explaining why quantum physics, as it currently stands, cannot be used to legitimise esoteric practices.CONNECT & SUPPORT

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.

Clear water starts with the right filter, not a monster pump. We dive into the real drivers of pool clarity and ease of maintenance, showing why filter sizing determines circulation, energy use, and how often you clean. If you've battled cloudy water, sluggish skimmers, or a cleaner that crawls, the culprit may be a filter that's too small for your pool and conditions.We break down how different filters behave under load. Large cartridge filters spread debris across big surface area, keeping PSI stable and flow strong for months. DE and sand deliver great clarity but show faster performance drop-offs as dirt builds, making the pressure gauge your best early warning. You'll learn clean PSI baselines, the 10 PSI rule for action, and when a quick backwash can restore flow. We also map practical sizing: for around 15,000 gallons, a 300 to 400 square foot cartridge, a 60 square foot DE, or a 300 to 400 pound sand filter is a smart starting point. Pump horsepower isn't the hero for every filter. Sand filters often perform worse with oversized pumps, while large cartridges can take advantage of higher flow without choking. We share field stories, from a 15,000-gallon pool that ran beautifully for years on modest pumps thanks to a 420 square foot cartridge, to the chronic struggles of above‑ground kits saddled with tiny 25 to 50 square foot filters. The message is simple: size the filter generously for your gallonage and lifestyle, track your clean PSI, and prioritize circulation as much as filtration. Your reward is clearer water, less maintenance, and a system that's far more forgiving during storms, parties, and heavy pollen weeks.• why circulation matters as much as filtration• how undersized filters choke flow and raise PSI• cartridge vs sand vs DE behavior under load• reading clean PSI and spotting 10 PSI rise• when to backwash and when to clean• recommended sizes for 15k and larger pools• why sand dislikes oversized pumps• tandem cartridges and large-pool strategies• above‑ground kit pitfalls and upgradesSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Amb. (ret) Karl Hofmann is CEO of the recently launched Health X Partners (HXP), a parent company under which Population Services International (PSI) and the Elizabeth Glazer Pediatric AID Foundation (EGPAF) now operate. He explains his personal story—from a successful diplomatic path centered in Africa to a pivot and second career as President and CEO of PSI starting in 2007. And he explains the logic by which PSI and EGPAF agreed in 2024 to form HXP to achieve greater efficiencies and prepare prudently for the end of the 25-year era, begun around 2000, that has generated an “amazing chapter of human progress” in health but which, it had become increasingly obvious, would not last indefinitely. As the unforeseen tsunami of Trump 2.0 hit in early 2025, it was both fortuitous and doubly-risky for HXP, as it stood itself up. The new leadership at FSI and EGPAF suddenly had to come to terms with 50% reductions in staff, budgets, and programs, while consolidating and integrating audit, HR, and IT teams. Change had been expected, but it “turned out there was a lot more change” than anticipated. How to view 2026? Profound uncertainty. Yet there is also one clear message to NGO implementers: focus even more on cost effectiveness; and get much closer to needs on the ground, networked and connected to leverage scale and innovation.

Today's focus is on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in treating perinatal mood and anxiety disorders (PMADs). Our expert guest will help us understand this therapy technique, its processes, and the overarching goal of this method. Join us to learn more! Dr. Carissa Gustafson, PMH-C, is a licensed clinical psychologist who specializes in perinatal psychology. She supports clients from preconception through parenting, with a particular focus on pregnancy and postpartum care. As the author of Reclaim Your Life: Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in 7 Weeks, she utilizes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help clients learn to relate to their thoughts and feelings with acceptance and compassion, while aligning their behavior with their values. Dr. Gustafson sees clients online throughout California and in person at Village Birth, a part of Heartship Psychological Services. In addition to seeing clients, she has been an adjunct professor and clinical faculty at Pepperdine University Graduate School of Education and Psychology.  Show Highlights: Dr. Gustafson's path to serving perinatal mental health clients through ACT Understanding ACT as a therapy technique The unpredictable nuances of the perinatal journey align perfectly with the core processes of ACT, especially for high-achieving women. The need to be present with our difficult emotions Learning to “surf the waves” of emotions and feelings Compassion is essential because of the shame and blame we put on ourselves. ACT core processes: mindfulness, acceptance/compassion, cognitive defusion, the observer self, values, and committed/valued action  “Bringing presence to our pain brings peace.” We don't want to make an enemy of our internal experiences. ACT offers a clear path to relief for PMADs if someone is willing to use the techniques. Psychological health can be improved with flexibility in our thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance doesn't mean resignation. Advocacy and agency are vital! Learn more about Dr. Gustafson's book, training courses, and workbook (get yours for free at Dr. Gustafson's website!)

We walk through five measurable health indicators that reveal whether your business can actually support you long-term. From market fit and client retention to utilization, unit economics, and cash flow, we explain what to measure and why it matters. Whether you're solo or have a team, these indicators apply across the board. Our goal is to help you diagnose problems clearly and build a business that supports your life instead of consuming it. Main topics:  Market fit and demand Revenue durability and retention Utilization and capacity efficiency Unit economics and profit Cash flow resilience Main takeaway: "If you're not profitable at one visit, adding more visits will never fix it." This is one of the hardest truths in pet care—and one of the most important. Being busy can hide serious problems in pricing, labor costs, and efficiency. When margins are broken at the unit level, scaling only multiplies stress and burnout. Real growth starts by understanding what it costs to deliver one walk, one visit, one day of care—and pricing accordingly. Profit isn't greed; it's what allows you to build a business that lasts.

Ever heard a variable speed pump scream for a minute on a cold morning and wondered if the motor is toast? We dig into the real-world signs that separate normal quirks from costly failures, sharing field-tested ways to read noises, clouding, and pressure spikes without overreacting or replacing parts you don't need.We start with cold-start pump behavior and why grease viscosity makes a VS motor squeal briefly in chilly weather, then move to the mess that follows a season's first rain. You'll learn why that initial storm dumps more dirt and organics, how dilution erodes free chlorine, and the fastest way to recover with targeted shock, brushing, and filter management as PSI climbs. From there, we unpack the “DE sneeze” that can puff powder back through returns after a filter clean, what's normal for quad DE designs, and how to protect sensitive hardware like pressure-side cleaners, salt cells, and in-floor systems by checking screens and flow paths.Air in the pump lid gets its own spotlight. We explain the small bubble you might see at low RPM, how to test system tightness at full speed with the air relief open, and where suction-side leaks actually hide—lid O-rings, unions, valve stems, threaded fittings, and bleeder assemblies. You'll get practical fixes to stop drain-back, improve priming, and extend motor life. Finally, we cover chemical odor safety. Acid and chlorine carry expected smells, but a wet trichlor bucket or feeder can create a dangerous gas mix. We outline safe opening steps, storage tips to keep tablets dry, and simple habits that protect your lungs and your route.• Cold-start pump squeal that fades in minutes in low temperatures• Cloudy water and debris spikes after first seasonal rain• Shock levels to recover diluted chlorine and haze• DE and cartridge “hiccup” on startup and how to manage it• Protecting pressure-side cleaners and in-floor systems from blowback• Air in pump lids at low RPM versus real suction leaks• Diagnosing drain-back and hard-to-prime systems• Chemical odor basics and triSend us a textSupport the Pool Guy Podcast Show Sponsors!

Host Tim McNeely welcomes Dickie Ball, owner of Summit Handpiece Express, to uncover how simple handpiece maintenance and quality repair can dramatically improve a dental practice's efficiency, patient care, and exit valuation. This episode explains why small operational habits matter and how they translate into real financial gains. The conversation covers practical topics including proper lubrication (before every autoclave cycle), correct PSI settings, burr quality, autoclave calibration, and the dangers of gray-market handpieces. Dickie explains the most common mistakes practices make—insufficient lubrication, incorrect PSI, and poor sterilization practices—and shows how fixing these fixes reduces downtime and repair frequency. Dickie describes differences between cheap repairs and quality repairs, why Summit uses ceramic ABEC-9 bearings, and how selecting an established, responsive repair partner affects longevity and warranty performance. He also discusses DSO-level reporting: quarterly repair summaries, trend analysis, and simple protocol changes that lower costs and boost EBITDA. Listeners will hear how team education and clear protocols (checklists for high- and low-speed handpieces, chair-side PSI checks, and immediate removal of malfunctioning instruments) improve staff productivity and patient experience. Dickie shares Summit's family-owned approach, easy prepaid shipping and free estimates, and resources like a free laminated maintenance sheet and training he delivered at the Florida Dental Convention. Key takeaways: routine, correct maintenance cuts repair costs; quality parts and repairs lengthen handpiece life; empower your team with simple systems to prevent failures; and partnering with the right repair vendor improves finances and clinical operations.

Laura shares her process for understanding the "why" behind cat behavior and offers practical steps for sitters in fearful or aggressive cat situations. Together, they discuss the importance of setting client expectations, documenting visits, and advocating for enrichment. You'll walk away with actionable insight to keep both you and your feline clients safe, happy, and understood. Main topics: Understanding cat body language and signals Managing aggression and fearful cats Litter box problems and environment setup Communicating with clients about cat behavior Enrichment for shy or stressed cats Main takeaway: "Working with animals comes with a whole lot of people." Most of us got into pet care because we love animals—the quiet moments, the connection, the work itself. But every visit, every behavior concern, and every hard day comes with a human on the other end who's worried, overwhelmed, or unsure what to do next. The job isn't just reading body language or scooping litter; it's translating what we're seeing into clear, compassionate communication. When we do that well, we don't just care for pets—we build trust, set expectations, and help families feel supported. Professional pet care is as much about people skills as it is animal skills. About our guest: Laura Cassiday is a certified cat behavior consultant (IAABC) and founder of Positive Vibes Cat Behavior and Training, based in Baltimore, Maryland. She specializes in solving complex feline behavior challenges, from litter box avoidance to multi-cat aggression. With a background in shelter behavior and a master's degree in professional writing, Laura combines science-based methods with compassionate communication to help cats and their people live harmoniously. She's also pursuing a graduate degree in Applied Animal Behavior and Welfare and works part-time with Forever Friends Cat Sitting.

Ep632-Art Bell-Intuition, PSI, and Other Realms-Dr. Laurie Nadel

Send us a textOn today's episode, we're sitting down with the incredible Kayleigh Summers, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker & friend of PSI. Kayleigh supports folks in the perinatal period especially as it relates to birth trauma - including consultation, therapy, support groups, workshops, a blog, sharing her lived experience at PSI trainings, and a little ‘ol podcast called The Birth Trauma Mama. (In case you didn't pick up on the sarcasm, there isn't anything little about Kayleigh's podcast … at all!) Today, we'll be chatting about the lived experience of an Amniotic Fluid Embolism survivor, which includes vivid details that may feel difficult for some listeners to hear. Please tune in with that knowledge and pause at any point, if you need. We were honored to sit down and record this conversation. So, without further ado, please sit back, relax, and enjoy this episode with our friend, Kayleigh.Mentioned on today's episode:The Birth Trauma Mama PodcastHope for HIEPSI's Perinatal Loss TrainingPodcast: The NICU Space; Dear NICU Mama, TV: Task; Nobody Wants ThisBook: The Academy; Interested in sharing your story?Fill out our podcast interest form here!

Our discussion focuses on the ways fertility challenges impact mental health, navigating misinformation and pressure from “influencer experts” on social media, and how evidence-based fertility education can empower and support people mentally and emotionally during their reproductive journey.  Dr. Lucky Sekhon is a board-certified reproductive endocrinologist, infertility specialist, obstetrician-gynecologist, and assistant clinical professor at the Mount Sinai Health System in New York City. She is the author of The Lucky Egg, a comprehensive, myth-busting guide to understanding reproductive health and overcoming fertility—written to empower anyone navigating the complex and confusing world of fertility. Widely recognized for her expertise in egg freezing, IVF, and LGBTQ+ family building, Dr. Sekhon is a trusted voice in reproductive medicine known for blending cutting-edge science with deeply compassionate patient care. Beyond her busy clinical practice, Dr. Sekhon actively publishes and presents research at national conferences and is passionate about making evidence-based fertility information accessible to all. Through her social media presence, blog, and community outreach, she has become a leading advocate for closing the fertility knowledge gap and helping people make informed, confident decisions about their reproductive futures.  Show Highlights: Dr. Lucky's WHY for writing The Lucky Egg was prompted by her pregnancy during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Lucky's desire to create a “Fertility Bible” to help people What to expect from The Lucky Egg Fertility challenges are as much a mental health issue as a physical one. There is a wide range of grief experiences with infertility; each journey is unique. Undiagnosed conditions, like endometriosis and PCOS, can complicate the fertility journey. There is bad information on social media. Beware! Dr. Lucky's challenges in helping patients weed through misinformation and see evidence-based facts Common themes of misinformation: fearmongering, distrust, quick fixes, and fake testimonials Dr. Lucky's commitment to evidence-based treatments Dr. Lucky's checklist to evaluate a clinic for quality and success How The Lucky Egg helps people understand the language of embryology, medications, and protocols, even offering scripts and prompts to help deal with uncomfortable questions from others “Who is The Lucky Egg written for?” Messages of hope from Dr. Lucky: “If you're unsure about your next steps in your fertility journey, you are not alone. Infertility affects 1 in 6 couples. This is a unique struggle with a lot of pressure. Prioritize your mental health, use resources, and find a supportive community.” Resources: Connect with Dr. Lucky Sekhon: Website, Instagram, and The Lucky Egg Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.

Before discussing today's show, I'd like to provide some updates on what to expect from the podcast in 2026. First of all, there will be no more Behind the Sessions episodes. There could also be changes in the frequency of episodes at some point, but we'll see how that goes. Life shifts and different needs arise that are pulling me in other directions. Everyone has times when shifts are needed to make space for pressing needs, and that's what I'm experiencing in my life. I'm still excited about the show and the ten-year milestone that we'll reach in 2026. Remember, the archive of episodes (almost 500!) is always available through our website.  Today's episode brings important information about how parenthood changes everything, including your sex life. There are new complexities to intimacy and sex after having a child, and parents need to be prepared so they can protect their connection. Our expert guest answers questions about why passion fades, the sexual-emotional cycle that couples get stuck in, and the path back to each other in your relationship. Join us to learn more! Dr. Rebecca Howard Eudy is an AASECT-certified sex therapist and the author of Parents in Love: A Guide to Great Sex After Kids. Certified in Emotionally Focused Therapy, she helps couples navigate sex, desire, and connection in the whirlwind of parenting, even when life and kids make it feel impossible.  Show Highlights: Understanding the role of a sex therapist, what sex therapy entails, and Rebecca's journey to be a sex therapist Identity shifts and body changes that come with having a baby can greatly affect your sex life. There is much shame and stigma around talking about sex and sexuality. The need to be flexible and curious with your partner Factors that impact a couple's ability to connect and be intimate: time, hormones, exhaustion, and resentment Focusing on the “micromoments” to show your connection to your partner Common themes in sex therapy for new parents Reinvesting in the partnership and understanding each other's intimacy needs The need for disconnection and solitude (Everyone needs alone time!) The difficult mental shift from “Mommy mode” to adult partner Dealing with mismatched levels of desire, which could become more pronounced after kids Dr. Rebecca's tips for finding your way back to your partner: Become comfortable talking about sex. Be flexible during the early-parent years. Be open to other intimacies besides intercourse. Consider scheduling sexual activity. Make sure your partner feels seen, appreciated, and desired. Find ways to protect your time for intimacy. The importance of pleasure in all forms of intimacy (“Nobody wants bad sex!”) Resources: Connect with Dr. Rebecca Howard Eudy: Website, Instagram, and Parents in Love: A Guide to Great Sex After Kids Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.

Today's episode finishes the four-part series on perinatal mental health during the holidays. It is also the final Behind the Sessions episode because life's circumstances are requiring me to shift, change, and prioritize other things as 2025 comes to a close. I will periodically add a solo episode in the future when I want to dive deeper into a relevant subject. There could even be a reduction in the frequency of episodes in 2026, as I see how my focus is needed in other areas. This shift is an example of my need to “practice what I preach” by protecting my time, space, and mental health as life changes. There is an extensive archive of episodes (almost 500 of them!) on my website from which you can search topics of interest to you. Please take advantage of the amazing resources available there! Today's episode focuses on facing the challenges of the postpartum period during the holidays. Join me! Show Highlights: Hey, Mama: You ARE doing enough! When you throw PPA or PPD into the mix, the holidays can be overwhelming. Doing ALL the things will add more stress and cause burnout. Truths about postpartum life: It's a BIG change! Worrying about social gatherings and the risk of sickness for your baby is completely normal. You may feel a greater sense of disconnect and loneliness. Watch out for the “comparison trap” that social media can cause. The potential for overstimulation is great. The underlying differences between expectations and reality Make it through the holidays in whatever ways you can—and that's okay. Holiday problems for people-pleasers An increase in pressure and a decrease in emotional bandwidth can create the perfect storm of stress. Red flags that signal a perinatal mental health condition Steps to better self-care: Manage your self-talk–your inner voice. Pause, sit, and breathe to settle your body and mind. Realize that you don't have to do everything you've always done. Add self-compassion to your life. Protect your energy by resting, limiting social engagements, and setting boundaries. Ask for help—and accept it when it's offered. The importance of reframing what the holidays mean to you You and your family deserve peace–not perfection. Prioritizing your healing over traditions, expectations, and plans is okay—and encouraged.  Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visitcdph.ca.gov.
