Modern environmentalism often frames conservation as moral, humans damage nature, and conservation protects it. But Mardi Reardon-Smith's Making Do: Conservation Ethics and Ecological Care in Australia, published by Stanford University Press in 2025, dismantles that comforting narrative and replaces it with something far more complex and candid. Set on the Cape York Peninsula, the book explores how Aboriginal traditional owners, pastoralists, conservation workers, and government institutions navigate landscapes shaped by colonialism, climate instability, species diversity, cattle grazing, fire, and ecological loss. What emerges is not a story of heroes versus villains but a portrait of people trying to “make do” within damaged systems. One of the book's most provocative arguments is that care itself can be violent. Conservation often entails killing feral animals, managing landscapes by burning and fencing ecosystems, and deciding which species merit protection and which do not. Mardi challenges the romantic assumption that ecological care is inherently gentle or morally pure. Instead, care becomes a form of intervention, practical, political, and deeply contested. Perhaps most importantly, Making Do rejects the illusion that environmental crises can be neatly solved. Climate change, biodiversity collapse, and ecological instability have already irreversibly transformed the world. The challenge now is not to return to an imagined past but to learn how to build livable futures amid uncertainty. In a time when environmental discourse often swings between apocalyptic despair and technological optimism, Mardi offers a more grounded perspective. Ecological responsibility is imperfect, exhausting, and full of contradictions, yet it remains necessary.

What happens when a doctor starts questioning the very system he was trained in? In this eye-opening and deeply important conversation, Darin Olien sits down with physician and metabolic health expert Dr. Dan Reardon to unpack the exploding GLP-1 weight loss drug phenomenon, the collapse of foundational health principles, and the dangerous trend of masking chronic disease instead of addressing root causes. Together, they dive into protein myths, obesity culture, pharmaceutical incentives, body positivity, metabolic dysfunction, chronic disease, and the growing "Wild West" of weight-loss injections like semaglutide and Mounjaro. But this conversation goes much deeper than weight loss. Dr. Reardon reveals his revolutionary focus on "deprescribing" medications—helping patients safely come off statins, blood pressure medications, psychiatric drugs, and GLP-1 injections by restoring the body's innate healing systems. This episode is a powerful exploration of personal sovereignty, metabolic health, medical integrity, and why the human body may be far more intelligent than modern medicine gives it credit for. What You'll Learn Why the current protein obsession may be misunderstood How the body recycles amino acids and adapts to exercise The hidden problems with ultra-high protein consumption Why GLP-1 drugs like semaglutide and Mounjaro are raising serious concerns The cultural shift from body positivity to weight-loss injections The pharmaceutical industry's incentives around obesity medications Why most people using GLP-1 drugs are not changing their lifestyle habits The side effects associated with semaglutide and related drugs How chronic disease is often treated symptomatically instead of

body is not broken: it is adaptive, intelligent, and constantly responding to the environment it's placed in. Modern medicine often suppresses symptoms without asking why they exist in the first place. Real healing begins when we stop chasing shortcuts, start addressing root causes, and create the conditions for the body to do what it was designed to do all along: heal, regulate, and thrive."

EPISODE 694 - Anna B Reardon - Wethersfield Road - A love letter to anyone who's ever felt like they were too muchLiving The Next Chapter welcomes author Anna B. Reardon to dive into her debut novel, Wethersfield Road, and the deeply human journey behind it. Speaking from her home in Austin, Texas, Anna shares the vibrant backdrop of her city and how its mix of nature and creativity mirrors the many layers of her own story—a story of recovery, self-discovery, and learning to love being “too much in the best way.”Anna describes Wethersfield Road as “autofiction,” blending truth and imagination to explore her path to sobriety and wellness in her twenties. The novel follows Amelia, a young woman who, after a life-altering accident, begins the difficult but beautiful process of rebuilding her relationship with herself and with the world. As Anna explains, the horse, the forest, and the natural world became metaphors for healing—reminding her that the journey back to being human often starts with connecting to something simple and alive.Writing the book, she says, was both healing and frightening, the act of putting private chaos into public words. Anna shares that some passages came from journal entries written during her darkest times, offering an authentic lens on depression and recovery. She discusses how fiction gave her freedom to tell emotional truths safely—Amelia could voice the thoughts Anna once couldn't. And in one of many poetic moments, Anna recounts writing a scene about ladybugs only to feel one land on her arm mid-sentence, a synchronicity that affirmed her belief in paying attention to life's quiet signs.Throughout the conversation, Anna reflects on addiction not only to substances but to validation, control, and even distraction. She describes the concept of “coping mechanism whack-a-mole,” where one unhealthy escape replaces another, and how true healing comes when we stop chasing external fixes and begin to trust our own inner resilience. Her metaphor of “the national forest versus the amusement park” captures this beautifully—the forest being the authentic, grounded self that doesn't need flash or noise to be enough.The episode also touches on broader themes of millennial womanhood—the ache of growing up under impossible standards, the challenge of learning emotional literacy in the digital age, and the rediscovery of self-worth that so many experience in adulthood. Ultimately, Anna's story is a testament to transformation, connection, and creative courage.Key takeaway: Healing is not about becoming someone new—it's about remembering who you already are. As Anna reminds listeners, discomfort isn't a red light, it's a green one. Growth often feels unnatural before it becomes second nature.https://www.anna-writes.com/Send us Fan MailSupport the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Sugar Be Sugarin’: Your No-BS Guide to Taking Back Your Health by Erin M. Reardon MD https://www.amazon.com/Sugar-Be-Sugarin-Taking-Health/dp/B0GGN61V3F Fixednation.org Why You're Tired, Stuck, and Struggling With Your Health (and What to Do About It) You're not lazy. You're not broken. And you’re definitely not just getting older. What if the real problem isn't willpower, calories, or time in the gym, but a metabolism that has quietly been pushed off track by sugar and modern food? As an ER physician, Dr. Erin Reardon has treated the end stage of metabolic disease for decades. Diabetes. Heart disease. Fatty liver. Obesity. Hormonal dysfunction. Chronic fatigue. By the time people arrive in the emergency room, the damage is already done. This book is about how to prevent all of it! Metabolic disease does not begin with a diagnosis. It begins with symptoms we are taught to ignore. Low energy. Brain fog. Weight gain. Cravings. Poor sleep. Blood sugar that creeps higher year after year. In Sugar Be Sugaring, Dr. Erin explains how sugar disrupts metabolism, drives insulin resistance, and keeps people trapped in cycles of hunger, fatigue, and frustration. Not through trends or blame. Through biology. This is not a short term diet book. This is about how to live a long, healthy life with less suffering! You will not be asked to count calories, track macros, or punish your body. Instead, you will learn: Why sugar behaves like an addictive substance How metabolic dysfunction develops before disease How food labels are designed to mislead you Why exercise alone cannot fix a broken metabolism A simple, science-based way to quiet cravings and stabilize blood sugar Dr. Erin's Jumpstart Method has helped thousands of people lose weight, regain energy, and improve metabolic health without extremes. If you are tired of doing everything right and still feeling stuck, this book will change how you understand your body and your health. The fix is not more discipline. The fix begins with the food.

There's a silent struggle that many couples face—issues of pain, discomfort, or disconnection in intimate life that go unspoken and unattended. For so long, pelvic floor challenges have been seen as private burdens to bear alone, surrounded by stigma or confusion about where to turn for help. But what if we viewed these not as individual problems, but as shared matters that impact the whole relationship? Could better understanding and open conversation actually transform your intimacy and emotional connection? In this episode, you'll discover how pelvic floor health influences pleasure, pain, and intimacy—and why these challenges are best faced together, not solo. Drawing from expert insights and practical guidance, you'll learn how increased awareness and communication can bridge the gap between partners, foster support and compassion, and empower you with tools for healing. Whether you're struggling silently or simply want to deepen trust and connection, this conversation offers actionable steps and hope for anyone ready to turn hidden struggle into shared strength.

Your Check List of Actions to Take Learn about your pelvic floor anatomy to understand how it affects day-to-day functions and intimacy. Openly discuss pelvic health and intimacy challenges with your partner to reduce shame and foster teamwork. Attend pelvic floor therapy sessions together when possible for shared education and support. Practice mindful urination and bowel movements—sit fully, breathe, and avoid straining or "power peeing." Incorporate pelvic-friendly exercises such as yoga poses (e.g., child's pose, pigeon, happy baby) to encourage muscle relaxation. Explore self-stimulation privately to discover which types of touch and stimulation are most pleasurable or comfortable. Consider using vaginal trainers or dilators, starting small and gradually increasing size, and involve your partner for support and collaboration. Normalize communication around sexual pleasure, pain, and individual needs, recognizing that every body and relationship is unique.

What happens when a small business coach realizes her clients need more than advice—they need a place to actually work? She converts the loft she's been living in with her family into a coworking space. This week, Jamie Russo sits down with Sue Reardon, co-founder and community connector at Suite Spotte in Forest Park and La Grange, Illinois, for one of the most fascinating origin stories we've heard on this podcast. In this episode, we talk about: How Sue went from coaching micropreneurs to realizing coworking was the missing piece Why it took two years to get the Forest Park location rezoned Her "test and invest" mindset—constantly experimenting with flexible memberships Why she stopped doing evening events and started showing up with soup and wine instead The "Team Mashup" concept—bringing remote and in-office teams together This conversation is proof that coworking works best when you stay curious, listen to your members, and aren't afraid to test unconventional ideas. If you're an operator wondering how to create authentic community without forcing it, or navigating flexible memberships, this episode is for you.
