Podcasts about rebuilding trust

What happens when an allergist steps into the online world and starts breaking down headlines in real time? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Zachary Rubin, board certified allergist and immunologist, content creator, and now author of All About Allergies. We talk about why allergy misinformation spreads so easily, why “allergy” is not a catch all term, and how social media has unexpectedly made him a better clinician. We also get honest about the current state of medicine. Burnout. Insurance barriers. The time crunch in clinic. And why rebuilding trust between families and physicians starts with better communication, humility, and human connection. This is a conversation about nuance in a world that craves certainty, and why meeting families where they are matters more than ever. In this episode, we discuss: • Why “sensitization does not equal allergy” and what that actually means • The difference between allergy, intolerance, and sensitivity • Why food sensitivity tests are often misleading • The truth about local honey and seasonal allergies • Shellfish allergy and contrast dye myths • Egg allergy and flu vaccine misconceptions • Why 90 percent of reported penicillin allergies are not true allergies • How timing and rash characteristics matter when evaluating antibiotic reactions • The explosion of biologic medications and the hidden burden of insurance approvals • How social media can improve doctor patient communication • The role of humility and nuance in rebuilding trust • Humanizing doctors and why connection is powerful medicine To connect with Dr. Zachary Rubin follow him on Instagram @rubin_allergy, check out all his resources at linktr.ee/rubin_allergy and buy his book “All About Allergies!”: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/790561/all-about-allergies-by-zachary-rubin-md    00:00 Allergy Is Not a Catch-All Term 02:37 Why Dr. Rubin Went Online 09:27 Why This Book Had to Exist 12:59 What Parents Are Most Anxious About Today 15:10 Why Food Allergy Testing Is Often Misused 16:38 Allergy vs. Intolerance vs. Sensitivity 22:01 The Obsession With Blood Work 24:57 The Systems Problem in Medicine 34:08 Rebuilding Trust in Medicine 38:51 How Social Media Made Him a Better Doctor 43:53 Allergy Myths That Need to Go 48:57 The Penicillin Allergy Problem 50:55 Rashes, Timing, and True Drug Reactions Our podcasts are also now on YouTube.

“We should all be able to look at the numbers and agree that this is not sustainable and that whatever we've been doing is not working. Democrats have had their chance, and Republicans have had their chance, and it's only gotten worse.” — Halle TeccoWarren Buffett called America's healthcare costs “a hungry tapeworm on the American economy.” That tapeworm now devours nearly a fifth of the nation's GDP—and the patient, as always, is on the table. We dedicate today's show to this most perennial of all America's problems, with two guests and two new books that approach the tragi-comedy from different angles.Self-styled innovation wonk Halle Tecco—founder of Rock Health, investor in over fifty digital health companies, professor at Columbia Business School—argues in Massively Better Healthcare that the system is both excessively public and excessively private, a Kafkaesque bureaucracy in which verticalized health plans now own the PBMs, the pharmacies, and increasingly the doctors. The result is monopoly medicine on a scale that would have appalled the original trust-busters.This is ultimately an antitrust story. As we've discussed on the show with Tim Wu, Biden's chief antitrust enforcer, the concentration of corporate power is the great unfinished business of American democracy. Tecco makes the case that Big Med is where the trust busters should go next after Big Tech. UnitedHealth is now one of the largest employers of doctors in the country. So it wasn't exactly shocking when the UnitedHealth CEO was assassinated two years ago. The system isn't broken, Tecco suggests. It's working exactly as designed—just not for patients.Surgeon Robin Blackstone, MD, author of Doctor AI: Reimagining Health. Rebuilding Trust. Delivering Health 4.0, joins us in the second half of the show to offer a view from the front lines. After 30 years as a surgeon, Blackstone confirms everything Tecco diagnoses—and adds a chilling detail of her own: the system is priced entirely for fixing illness, not preventing it. Her prescription is a “triangle of trust” between patient, physician, and AI—with the patient finally owning their own data.Both agree on one thing: every dollar spent on public health saves $14.30 in medical and societal costs. We are all already paying for all the waste. We just need to fix Big Med. But who's going to do it? Tecco says that America is ready for another round of Obamacare politics. But I'm not so sure. Five Takeaways•       Healthcare Is a Tale of Two Civilizations: If you're wealthy, you go to UCSF and get the best care in the world. If you're not, you're one of the 100 million Americans without a regular primary care provider. Healthcare debt is the number one cause of bankruptcy. A person earning $30,000 in a rural county can expect to live a full decade less than someone earning $100,000 in an affluent suburb.•       The Real Winners Are Monopoly Medicine: Verticalized health plans now own the PBMs, the pharmacies, and increasingly the providers. The ACA's profit cap forced them to grow the pie instead of getting more efficient. United is now one of the largest employers of doctors in the country. Independent pharmacies are closing at the rate of one per day. Rite Aid is bankrupt—the only major chain not owned by a health plan.•       Every $1 in Public Health Saves $14.30: We're already paying for the crisis—in emergency room visits, lost productivity, and disability. We just need to move the safety net upstream. Public health is the only part of the system designed for prevention, yet its share of total health spending has dropped 25% in two decades. The economic case is overwhelming. The political will is not.•       AI Could Break the Information Asymmetry: Patients are already using ChatGPT to diagnose themselves—and sometimes it's saving their lives. One woman caught her own pneumonia because her doctor couldn't see her for a week. But some doctors want to keep the paternalism: one AI tool built on medical journals is restricted to clinicians only because making it available to patients would “piss off the doctors.”•       The System Is Priced for Rescue, Not Health: Everything is loaded to the moment your gallbladder goes bad or your heart gets a blockage. Prevention doesn't get paid for. Both guests agree: we need a massive re-pricing that rewards keeping people healthy, not just treating them when they're sick. That means paying doctors to prevent strokes, not just to fix them. About the GuestsHalle Tecco is the founder of the venture fund Rock Health and an investor in more than fifty digital health companies. She is an adjunct professor at Columbia Business School and a course director at Harvard Medical School. Her new book is Massively Better Healthcare: The Innovator's Guide to Tackling Healthcare's Biggest Challenges (Columbia University Press).Robin Blackstone, MD, is a physician, health systems architect, and founder of Blackstone Health. A surgeon by training with 30 years of clinical experience, she is the author of Doctor AI: Reimagining Health. Rebuilding Trust.

In this episode of Future Fuzz, Harry Duran sits down with Kyle Shurtz, Fractional CMO at Avalaunch Media, to talk strategy, risk-taking, and why marketing is a lot like playing blackjack.Kyle shares how frameworks, not guesswork, drive better decisions in both cards and campaigns. From Google's 70-20-10 “wild bets” philosophy to Avalanche's structured Strategic Sprint process, the conversation explores how disciplined risk-taking separates winning brands from stagnant ones.They dive deep into the role of AI in marketing, why strategic leadership won't be replaced by automation, and how agencies must evolve beyond tactics into true fractional executive partnerships. Kyle also breaks down Avalanche's nine-square marketing framework (inspired by The One Page Marketing Plan), explaining how aligning ICP, messaging, media, customer journey, and lifetime value creates scalable growth.If you're a founder or executive tired of reactive marketing and looking for structured, strategic growth—this episode delivers practical insight.Guest BioKyle Shurtz is the Fractional CMO at Avalaunch Media, a full-service digital marketing agency focused on strategic leadership backed by execution.At Avalanche, Kyle helps companies move beyond disconnected marketing tactics by implementing structured frameworks that align revenue goals, customer acquisition, and brand positioning. The agency specializes in building fractional in-house marketing teams—combining executive-level strategy with tactical delivery across content, paid media, analytics, and creative.Kyle is passionate about risk-taking, innovation, and what he calls “wild bets”—intentional experimentation designed to drive breakthrough growth. Through structured planning and disciplined execution, he helps businesses scale sustainably in an AI-driven marketing landscape.TakeawaysMarketing, like blackjack, requires strategic decision-making based on known variables.AI enhances execution but cannot replace strategic leadership.The 70-20-10 model (core, adjacent, wild bets) can be applied to marketing budgets.Companies should allocate 10% of their marketing efforts to experimentation.90% of marketing dollars go toward acquisition, but 65% of revenue often comes from existing customers.Strong sales infrastructure is critical before scaling marketing efforts.Strategic planning must precede tactical execution.Content creation at scale is one of the biggest friction points in modern marketing.Human-led, founder-driven content will become increasingly important in an AI-saturated world.Fractional executive marketing teams can provide stability in a role with high turnover.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Kyle Shurtz 00:28 AI Tools and the Gemini vs. ChatGPT Debate 01:23 Marketing as Blackjack: The Framework Mindset 03:11 AI's Role in Strategic Marketing 04:24 The 70-20-10 Wild Bets Philosophy 06:01 Risk-Taking and Iconic Brand Growth 07:16 What Makes a Great Avalaunch Client 08:35 The Strategic Sprint Framework 10:46 Bringing Stability to Marketing Leadership 12:23 Content Strategy and AI-Driven Research 13:49 Content Creation Friction 15:21 The Importance of Human-Led Branding 17:59 The Fractional In-House Team Model 19:26 Rebuilding Trust in Digital Marketing 21:48 LinkedIn as a Growth Engine 26:29 Case Study: 45% Growth in 90 Days 28:24 Where to Connect with KyleLinkedInFollow Kyle Shurtz on LinkedIn Follow Harry Duran on LinkedIn

In Episode 432, we explored how awareness builds integrity, how listening to the body moment by moment allows coherence to arise naturally.  But what happens when awareness feels muted? What if you can't clearly feel hunger, fatigue, or even your own emotions? What if instead of clarity, there's numbness, confusion, or second-guessing? In this follow-up episode, Colette explores what happens when body signals have been overridden for years and how Ayurveda offers a gentle, practical path to rebuilding trust with your body. Drawing on the Ayurvedic concept of prajnaparadha (loss of awareness), this episode explains how repeated overriding of hunger, fatigue, or emotional signals is not a personal failure, it is physiology. The nervous system adapts to long-term stress by lowering the volume of internal cues, conserving energy for survival. You'll learn how chronic stress can dull interoception (your ability to sense internal states), weaken agni (digestive and perceptual fire), and create disconnection from subtle signals. Most importantly, you'll discover how to gently restore awareness without force. This episode offers compassionate reassurance and practical micro-practices to help you rebuild inner reference points so that health decisions arise from relationship rather than reaction. In this episode, you'll learn: Why awareness can feel muted after years of overriding body signals How chronic stress affects digestion, perception, and nervous system regulation The connection between agni, interoception, and self-trust Why muted awareness is not a personal defect How Ayurveda educates you to participate in your own care Simple daily micro-practices to rebuild body trust Signs that trust and interoception are returning This episode is an invitation to move from self-judgment to self-trust, from forcing clarity to creating safety. Rebuilding trust with the body is not about trying harder to listen. It's about restoring the conditions where awareness feels safe enough to return.

This is Part 2 of last week's episode: “The 7 Trust Languages: A practical way to rebuild respect, safety, and credibility.” Here, we take the framework into real life—what trust looks like when people are watching whether your actions match your values.When organizations say “we value inclusion” but people experience something different day to day, trust breaks—fast. In this continuation episode, we unpack the gap between words and actions, why it damages credibility in workplaces and communities, and what it takes to rebuild trust through consistent behavior.We also share a powerful moment from a community town hall: a resident naming the disconnect between a police department's mission to “protect and serve” and the lived reality of their actions. It's a clear example of what happens when values are stated, but not embodied—and why the loss of trust is rational. This is a public episode.

What happens when a relationship doesn't explode … it just disappears?   In this episode of The Unlock Moment, I'm joined by high-profile US psychologist Dr Josh Coleman to unpack why estrangement happens - and what actually helps when you want to rebuild a relationship that's been lost to distance, conflict, or silence.   We explore the major pathways to estrangement (including cultural change, divorce, political differences, and therapy narratives), why the “old rules” of hierarchy and obligation no longer land the way they once did, and what repair really requires when guilt, logic, and authority fail. Josh shares a practical, compassionate framework for reconciliation: easing off the armour, learning a new language for hard conversations, and understanding a counterintuitive truth - the person who wants the relationship most often has to lead the repair.   This is a conversation about humility without collapse, warmth with strength, and how trust is rebuilt one honest conversation at a time - in families, in teams, and in any relationship that matters.   More from Dr Josh Coleman: Website: DrJoshuaColeman.com Substack: joshuacolemanphd.substack.com The Unlock Moment is hosted by Dr Gary Crotaz, PhD — executive coach, speaker and award-winning author.

Every marriage brings a past into the present. For many couples, that past includes experiences, expectations, wounds, or shame that quietly affect intimacy and connection today. When sexual baggage goes unspoken, it can create distance, insecurity, and misunderstanding between spouses.

In this episode, we cover: What sexual baggage really means and where it comes from. How past experiences influence expectations and emotional safety. The impact of comparison, insecurity, and shame on intimacy. How to have difficult conversations safely with your spouse. Biblical principles for forgiveness, renewal, and restoration. Practical steps to rebuild trust and connection over time.

EVEN MORE about this episode!What if chronic illness, trauma, and burnout are your body's way of communicating—not failing?Join Julie Ryan and holistic physician Christian Gonzalez (Dr. G) as they explore nervous system regulation, trauma stored in the body, emotional roots of disease, and mind-body healing beyond conventional medicine. Inspired by the loss of his mother to cancer during his first year of medical school, Dr. G shares how his journey led him beyond conventional medicine to uncover the deeper drivers of chronic illness—emotional dysregulation, nervous system imbalance, trauma, and environmental toxins.This episode dives deep into the body's hidden language, with moving real-life stories that reveal how unresolved emotions are stored in the fascia and how releasing them can unlock profound healing. From an infertility case that resolved after a single trauma-release session to the heartbreaking intersection of mold exposure, stress, and cancer, Julie and Dr. G explore why shame may be the “second-to-last boss” in healing—and how ancient Chinese medicine aligns with modern clinical insight.You'll also walk away with grounded, practical tools for daily life, including Dr. G's personal rituals for nervous system regulation, myofascial release, grounding, and energetic protection. Together, they explore curiosity as a gateway from fear to empowerment, why “meditating into the body” matters, and how aligning with circadian rhythms can restore balance. The conversation closes with a soul-stirring reflection on why we incarnate at all—inviting you to step into your healing journey with awareness, courage, and joy.Guest Biography:Dr. Christian Gonzalez, widely known as Dr. G, is a holistic physician specializing in integrative healing, nervous system regulation, and the emotional and spiritual roots of chronic illness. Bridging modern science with ancient wisdom, his work focuses on trauma-informed care, oncology support, and mind-body healing, grounded in the belief that the body is not broken—it's communicating. Through his signature Emotional Liberation Method (ELM), Dr. G helps individuals release stored trauma, restore nervous system balance, reconnect with their intuition, and access the body's innate intelligence for deep, lasting transformation, empowering people to become active participants in their own healing journey.Episode Chapters:(0:02:00) - The Myth of Giving Away Your Power(0:04:00) - Miracles: The Infertility Story(0:09:00) - The Emotional Component Behind Every Illness(0:11:00) - Why Healthy People Get Cancer(0:14:00) - The Whiteboard Moment: Stress and Toxins(0:17:00) - Christine's Story: Mold and Emotional Trauma(0:22:00) - Feeling Safe in Your Body and Environment(0:25:00) - The Power of Intuition in Healing(0:31:00) - Moving Beyond the Victim Mentality(0:35:00) - The Nervous System as a Spiritual Practice(0:40:00) - Shame: The Second to Last Boss(0:44:00) - Rebuilding Trust with Your Body(0:47:00) - Dr. G's Morning Rituals and Energy Protection(0:53:00) - Circadian Rhythm and Grounding(0:55:00) - Why We Incarnate➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Español YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Português YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Deutsch YouTube➡️Subscribe to Ask Julie Ryan Français YouTube✏️Ask Julie a Question!

In today's conversation, we're talking about something almost everyone has to rebuild at some point—trust.If you've been dismissed, disappointed, shunned, or wounded by church culture, you know how quickly trust can fracture… not just with people, but with yourself and even with God. So we break it down like a three-legged stool:✅ rebuilding trust with others✅ rebuilding trust with yourself✅ rebuilding trust with GodAnd then we get super practical by unpacking Brené Brown's “BRAVING” framework—a simple but powerful way to name exactly what was broken, so you can actually rebuild it with clarity (instead of vague “I just don't trust you anymore” statements).Drop a comment: Which part of trust is hardest for you to rebuild—trusting others, trusting yourself, or trusting God?00:00 - Welcome + quick housekeeping (reviews, sharing)02:57 - The “2:6 Life” theme for 2026 (1 John 2:6)03:35 - Recap: deconstruction, stuckness, and staying tender04:18 - Today's focus: rebuilding trust (self, others, God)05:24 - The “three-legged stool” of trust (how each affects the others)06:02 - Why trust matters: you weren't meant to live isolated07:01 - Trust in church spaces: “You don't have to trust us” + earning trust08:05 - Trust is rebuilt through experience, not explanation09:28 - What betrayal/broken trust actually breaks (and why wording matters)13:15 - Nuance: disagreement vs dishonor vs relationship removal15:27 - Layer 1: rebuilding trust with leaders/communities16:24 - Layer 2: rebuilding trust with yourself (discernment + red flags)17:29 - Layer 3: rebuilding trust with God (prayer, numbness, expectations)18:57 - What trust is (and what trust is NOT)20:13 - Introducing Brené Brown's “BRAVING” framework21:34 - B — Boundaries (doors with hinges, not walls)22:54 - R — Reliability (do what you say you'll do)23:50 - A — Accountability (own it, apologize, make amends)24:44 - V — Vault (confidentiality + why it matters)29:34 - I — Integrity (values in action, courage over comfort)29:59 - N — Non-judgment (ask for what you need without shame)30:29 - G — Generosity (most generous interpretation / benefit of the doubt)31:39 - BRAVING recap + why specificity helps rebuild trust32:02 - Next week teaser: living faith without certainty (“the sin of certainty”)32:21 - Closing encouragement + “you're loved” outro

My website: https://jordanapodaca.com/ After infidelity, you don't just lose trust in your partner. You lose trust in yourself. Suddenly every decision feels risky. You replay conversations wondering "how did I miss the signs?" You can't tell if what you're feeling is intuition or just anxiety. And when people say "you should have seen this coming," it makes everything worse. Self-trust doesn't return overnight. But it does return - gradually, as you prove to yourself that you can listen, discern, and act wisely. Want more personalized support? If you're struggling to navigate recovery and could use direct guidance, I have limited spots available for one-on-one calls.

Philippians 2:5 In your relationships with one another have the same mindset as Christ Jesus.Philippians 2:8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself by becoming obedient to death—even death on a cross!Trust: A FEELING of security or confidence in another person.Your feelings of trust don't come from just what you KNOW, but rather from what you decide to THINK about what you know.Your “Trust Picture” (what you think of others) is NOT necessarily the same as who they ARE.Judges 16:6 So Delilah said to Samson, “Tell me the secret of your great strength and how you can be tied up and subdued.”You don't trust someone based on what they SAY. You trust someone based on their ACTIONS.While “blind love” can be DEVASTATING in dating, it can actually be an ASSET in a marriage.WHEN IT COMES TO YOUR SPOUSE: Do you focus on all the POSITIVES or NEGATIVES?I Corinthians 13:7 It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.I Peter 5:8 NLT Stay alert! Watch out for your great enemy, the devil. He prowls around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.I Peter 4:8 Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins.HOW DO YOU REBUILD TRUST?1. Realize TRUST and FORGIVENESS are not the same.With a deep break in trust, spouses often WITHHOLD FORGIVENESS because they think it means they must immediately TRUST AGAIN.That's not true, and it damages the rebuilding process. FORGIVE!FOR THE SPOUSE WHO HAS BROKEN TRUST:1. It's likely you're going to want things to get back to “NORMAL” before your spouse is ready.2. You'll often want trust to be given without SIGNIFICANTCHANGES to the relationship.WHEN YOU FEEL LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW YOUR SPOUSE YOUNEED 2 THINGS: They need more TIME—and more TRANSPARENCYRomans 8:28 And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him and have been called according to his purpose.SINGLE:- Spend TIME evaluating if you can really trust someone. Don't just listen to someone's WORDS, you watch their ACTIONS.MARRIED (without a big break in trust): - Begin the habit of always ASSUMING THE BEST about your spouse.MARRIED (with a big break in trust):- FORGIVE- Begin the process of REBUILDING TRUST.

Dr. Mary Tally Bowden is a board-certified ENT physician and emergency medicine specialist based in Houston, Texas, who treated over 6,000 COVID-19 patients in direct care while openly challenging centralized medical authority and censorship in healthcare. In November 2021, Houston Methodist Hospital, the first hospital in the country to mandate COVID vaccines, suspended her clinical privileges for allegedly spreading misinformation. Bowden resigned and sued the FDA for their public campaign against ivermectin, winning a landmark case that forced the agency to remove misleading social media posts. She operates a medical practice independent of hospitals, insurance companies, and government contracts, allowing her to treat patients according to clinical judgment rather than institutional mandates. Dr. Bowden continues to fight her Texas Medical Board reprimand while leading efforts to expose hospitals that failed to report vaccine injuries to VAERS as legally required, potentially exposing billions in fraud. → Please like, comment, share & follow — to help me beat the suppressing algo's.

If reading the news leaves you overwhelmed, angry, or completely checked out—you're not broken. The system is. In this episode of Adulting with Autism, I'm joined by Kira Shishkin, founder and CEO of informed.now, a platform built for people who want to stay informed without being manipulated, overstimulated, or emotionally drained. Kira shares how her own struggles with attention, overload, and disability shaped a radically different approach to news—one that prioritizes facts, primary sources, and respect for the reader's time and nervous system. We talk about: Why modern news is designed to hijack attention "Structural sensationalism" and how advertising drives outrage Why many autistic and neurodivergent people avoid the news entirely How to consume information without doom scrolling or shutdown What media minimalism and "news mindfulness" actually look like Why informed.now delivers fact-based news via simple text messages This episode is especially for autistic adults, ADHDers, and anyone whose mental health takes a hit from constant media overload—but still wants to understand what's happening in the world.

In this episode of Faithful Politics, Will Wright and Pastor Josh Burtram are joined by Andy Hale, congregational psychologist and author of Mending the Fracturing Church, to explore why churches are experiencing deeper polarization and what it takes to rebuild trust.Hale explains how psychology, family systems theory, and theology intersect in congregational life, and why conflict itself is not the real threat—avoidance and fear are. The conversation digs into how political identity, generational divides, and moral certainty are reshaping church communities, often in ways leaders are unprepared to address.Rather than offering quick fixes or ideological answers, Hale calls for patience, self-awareness, and practices that restore human connection—starting with understanding how fear, identity, and the need to be “right” shape the way we treat one another. It's a grounded, hopeful conversation about what it looks like for the church to remain faithful in a polarized age.Mending the Fracturing Church: How to Navigate Conflict and Build Trust for Thriving Communities: https://bookshop.org/a/112456/9798881806644Guest Bio Andy Hale is a congregational psychologist, minister, and organizational consultant who works with churches navigating conflict, polarization, and institutional change. With nearly three decades of experience in congregational and denominational leadership, his work integrates psychology, family systems theory, and theology to help faith communities rebuild trust and practice healthier forms of disagreement.He is the author of Mending the Fracturing Church: How to Navigate Conflict and Build Trust for Thriving Communities and hosts two podcasts, including Clergy Confessions, which explores the hidden pressures pastors face today.

This episode of Uncommon Sense with Ginny Robinson covers the conversations people don't want to have, but that won't go away just because they're uncomfortable.We start with the newly released Epstein files and why their implications are being downplayed, rushed past, or deliberately blurred by our government. Then we address the circulating TPUSA / Erika Kirk / Charlie Kirk assassination-related news, breaking down what has actually been reported, what remains unclear, and why responsible people should care about facts, timelines, and accountability (as Candace Owens does). Truth matters, not carefully crafted false narratives.I also speak candidly about Trump's failures because blind loyalty helps no one, and criticism is not betrayal. If leadership is going to demand trust, it has to earn it. Same goes for respect.Finally, because many of you have asked, I address some personal matters: ongoing unwanted attention from men I have clearly and firmly removed from my life, including an individual by the name of Timothy Ronald C. (I will reveal his full legal name publicly if he does not leave me alone) and an ex whose post-NFL career implosions are not my responsibility to manage, nor care about.To be clear: this is not “dragging” solely for entertainment purposes. This is about boundaries I have made (which are very known). I am in a happy, healthy relationship, I have moved on, and these men will never see me again.This episode is about truth, discernment, and refusing to be bullied—politically, culturally, or personally—into silence.This is America, home of the brave and land of the FREE.--https://www.bible.com/

SummaryIn this episode, Chase and Chris dive deep into why belief in yourself has to come before anything else.You can have the perfect macros, the best workout plan, and all the right tools—but if you don't actually believe you can do it, none of that will matter. They explain how broken promises, unrealistic expectations, and an all-or-nothing mindset slowly chip away at your trust in yourself.You'll learn how to rebuild that belief with small daily wins, why failing isn't the problem (but quitting is), and how to stop waiting to feel ready—and start becoming ready by showing up.If you've ever said, “I always fall off,” or “I just can't stay consistent,” this episode is the wake-up call you didn't know you needed.Chapters(00:00) Why Belief in Yourself Comes First(01:45) How Self-Limiting Beliefs Hold You Back(04:30) The Difference Between Confidence and Belief(07:06) Broken Promises = Broken Progress(09:36) How Failing Can Actually Build Trust(10:06) Why You're Not “All or Nothing”—You Just Don't Trust Yourself(12:47) Lower the Bar to Raise Your Consistency(13:27) Belief Is Built Through Evidence(16:10) Why Smaller Goals Lead to Bigger Results(18:17) The Power of Stupid-Simple Wins(19:30) Personalization Over Perfection(21:11) Shame Spirals and Bouncing Back(23:27) The Role of Resilience in Rebuilding Trust(24:15) Borrow Belief When You Don't Have It(27:53) Progress Without Pressure(29:38) You Have to Get in the Pool(30:03) Taking Ownership vs. Relying on a Coach Forever(32:06) Adapting Your Plan in Messy Seasons(33:42) Build a New Default, Not a New Excuse(35:47) Identity Change Starts With Belief(37:48) Be Realistic, Not Delusional(38:09) Keep the Promises You Actually Make(39:53) The Flip: From Doubtful to UnstoppableSUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show:https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

   This special episode of WarDocs celebrates the 125th anniversary of the Army Nurse Corps by bringing together four distinguished leaders: Brigadier General Jamie Burk (27th ANC Chief), Retired Major General Jimmie Keenan (24th ANC Chief), Retired Brigadier General Bill Bester (21st ANC Chief), and Retired Brigadier General Clara Adams-Ender (18th ANC Chief). The conversation spans eight decades of history, tracing the evolution of the Corps from the Cold War and Vietnam eras to the persistent conflicts following 9/11. Each leader shares their "origin story," revealing the diverse paths—from ROTC scholarships to financial necessity—that led them to a career in military nursing. They discuss the professionalization of the Corps, including the implementation of baccalaureate requirements and advanced practice nursing, which ensured that Army nurses were prepared for both clinical excellence in medical centers and life-saving care on the battlefield.    The episode delves into pivotal moments in military medicine, such as the immediate response to the 9/11 attacks at the Pentagon and the critical efforts to rebuild trust in the care of wounded warriors through the Warrior Transition Units. The Corps Chiefs emphasize that the Army Nurse Corps is the "engine" and "heartbeat" of the Army Health System, defined by its projection of empathy and its fierce advocacy for the warfighter. They discuss the importance of mentorship, explaining how coaches and mentors encouraged them to pursue leadership roles where they could influence policy and "influence more hands" than they could at the bedside alone. Through the lens of these four pioneers, listeners gain an appreciation for the values of loyalty, duty, and personal courage that remain the core of the Corps. Join us in honoring the legacy of those who have served and those who continue to care for America's sons and daughters.   Chapters (00:00-14:13) Introduction and the Current State of the Corps with BG Jamie Burk (14:14-20:57) Rebuilding Trust and Honoring Sacrifice with MG(R) Jimmie Keenan (20:58-35:31) Force Projection and Professional Evolution with BG(R) Bill Bester (35:32-50:17) Policy, Leadership, and the Nursing Lifeline with BG(R) Clara Adams-Ender   Chapter Summaries (00:00-14:13) Introduction and the Current State of the Corps with BG Jamie Burk: The current Chief discusses her background from East Tennessee and the "origin story" of her journey from a biology major to a nursing leader. She highlights how the Corps has risen to the challenges of persistent conflict and previews the upcoming 125th-anniversary celebrations. (14:14-20:57) Rebuilding Trust and Honoring Sacrifice with MG(R) Jimmie Keenan: This section focuses on the transition of the Corps to a complex, volatile environment and the crucial role nurses played in rebuilding trust with wounded service members. The chapter concludes with a poignant tribute to the selfless service and sacrifice of Captain Jennifer Moreno. (20:58-35:31) Force Projection and Professional Evolution with BG(R) Bill Bester: BG Bester recounts the shift from peacetime healthcare to wartime readiness, emphasizing the increased educational standards and research initiatives within the Corps. He provides a unique perspective on being the only medical general in the Pentagon during the 9/11 attacks and the subsequent mobilization. (35:32-50:17) Policy, Leadership, and the Nursing Lifeline with BG(R) Clara Adams-Ender: The 18th Chief shares her journey of 34 years, emphasizing the need for nurses to transition from the bedside to policy-making to "influence more hands." She describes the nurse as the essential lifeline of the healthcare system and encourages young nurses to maintain their seat at the table.   Take Home Messages Adaptability to the Operational Environment: The Army Nurse Corps has successfully evolved through various eras, from the Cold War to the Global War on Terror, by maintaining a dual identity as both soldiers and clinical experts. Leaders must remain flexible and ready to pivot from peacetime healthcare delivery to far-forward surgical support as the mission dictates. The Power of Advocacy and Policy: While clinical work at the bedside is the foundation of the profession, true systemic change occurs when nursing leaders step into executive roles to write policy and influence broader healthcare outcomes. Having a "seat at the table" ensures that the nursing perspective is represented in critical decision-making processes that affect patient care. Resilience Through Core Values: The enduring success of the Corps over 125 years is rooted in the Army values of loyalty, duty, and selfless service, which are personified by the actions of individual nurses on the battlefield. These values provide the moral compass necessary to navigate the volatility and ambiguity of modern military medicine. Investing in Professional Growth: Continuous development through specialty training, advanced degrees, and research is essential for maintaining the high standards of the Corps. Mentorship plays a pivotal role in this growth, as experienced leaders identify and coach the next generation to take on challenges they may not yet see in themselves. The Nurse as the System Engine: Nursing is the heartbeat of the Army Health System, acting as the primary lifeline for patients and a critical advocate for the warfighter. The "secret power" of the Corps lies in its ability to project empathy while simultaneously managing the complex logistics of medical readiness and force projection.   Episode Keywords Army Nurse Corps, Military Nursing, Army Medicine, Nursing Leadership, 125th Anniversary, Nurse Corps Chiefs, WarDocs Podcast, Military Healthcare, Patient Centered Care, Wounded Warrior, Combat Nursing, Nursing Education, Advanced Practice Nursing, Military History, Army Values, Force Readiness, Healthcare Policy, Nursing Research, 9/11 Pentagon, Clinical Excellence, Veteran Stories, Army Health System, Nurse Mentorship, Army ROTC, Medical History, Soldier Medic, Nursing Tradition, Executive Nursing, Nurse Advocacy, Military Medicine History Hashtags #ArmyNurseCorps, #WarDocs, #MilitaryMedicine, #NursingLeadership, #ArmyNursing, #NurseCorps125, #MilitaryNursing, #ArmyMedicine   Honoring the Legacy and Preserving the History of Military Medicine The WarDocs Mission is to honor the legacy, preserve the oral history, and showcase career opportunities, unique expeditionary experiences, and achievements of Military Medicine.

How do we rebuild trust in vaccines when fear and misinformation stand in the way, especially for autistic individuals and their families?In this episode of Patient Advocacy Voices, host Eric Racine is joined by co-host Heather Entenmann, U.S. Public Health Engagement Lead at Sanofi, for a thoughtful conversation on vaccine confidence, trust, and inclusion. Together, they welcome two leading voices in public health and advocacy: Danielle Hall, former Vaccine Education Lead at the Autism Society of America, and Dr. Kelly Moore, President and CEO of Immunize.org.Drawing on lived experience, decades of public health leadership, and frontline advocacy work, the conversation explores why the long-debunked myth linking vaccines and autism continues to persist, and why rebuilding trust requires more than facts alone. The discussion highlights how healthcare experiences, sensory needs, anxiety, and empathy all play critical roles in shaping vaccine decisions, and what advocacy leaders and providers can do differently to better support autistic individuals and their families.In this episode, you'll gain insights on:Why misinformation about vaccines and autism endures, and how to address it with empathy, not judgmentHow healthcare experiences and sensory needs influence vaccine confidence in the autism communityPractical ways providers and vaccination sites can reduce anxiety and create more inclusive, respectful experiences for immunizations in any disease areaHow advocacy organizations, healthcare professionals, and trusted messengers can counter misinformation by leading with empathy and authenticityThis conversation is a powerful reminder that rebuilding trust in public health starts with listening, understanding lived experiences, and meeting people where they are, because confidence is built not just through evidence, but also through empathy.

On this episode, Andrew hosts independent and Forward Party candidate for governor of Minnesota, Mike Newcome. Mike argues that both major parties have failed ordinary citizens through corruption, mismanagement, and polarization. He highlights issues like the $250 million COVID-era fraud scandal and the divisive response to ICE raids, calling for “common-sense leadership” that prioritizes solutions over partisanship. ---- Follow Andrew Yang: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠X⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Follow Mike Newcome: Website ---- Get 50% off Factor at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Factor Meals⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get an extra 3 months free at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Express VPN⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get 20% off + 2 free pillows at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Helix Sleep⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | Use code: helixpartner20 Get $30 off your first two (2) orders at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Wonder ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠| Use code: ANDREW104 ---- Subscribe to the Andrew Yang Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Spotify To learn more about listener data and our privacy practices visit: https://www.audacyinc.com/privacy-policy Learn more about your ad choices.

In this second Q&A episode of 2026, I'm joined once again by Joe Bailey for a raw, honest, and deeply practical conversation with men inside our Dad Edge Alliance. We tackle two of the most common—and emotionally charged—challenges dads face: navigating marriage when divorce feels like it's on the table, and learning when to step in (or step back) as parents with our kids.   Joe brings wisdom forged through failure, humility, and redemption as he shares lessons learned from three divorces and what it actually takes to rebuild trust, emotional safety, and leadership in marriage. We also dig into parenting—specifically how often we default to "no," how helicopter parenting robs kids of growth, and how learning to pause can transform our connection with our children. If you're a dad who wants to lead with ownership instead of ego, and presence instead of control, this episode is for you.     Timeline Summary  [0:00] Welcoming listeners to the second Q&A of 2026 with Joe Bailey [1:37] Live Q&A format with Alliance members on the call [2:03] Anonymous question: marriage arguments escalating and divorce being discussed [2:52] Joe shares his experience with three divorces and hard-earned lessons [3:49] Taking full ownership as the leader of the relationship [4:18] Winning the argument vs. winning your wife's heart [5:02] Separating identity from failure in marriage [5:21] Why agreement gives things power over your life [5:40] Emotional safety, being seen, and being heard [6:04] How your inner world creates your outer world [6:55] Why asking "What are you willing to do?" matters more than "Can we fix this?"

When leadership breaks down, trust often disappears first — and without trust, connection is impossible. In this episode of Reclaim Your Life, U.S. Marine Officer, author, and leadership educator Olaolu Ogunyemi shares what he's learned about rebuilding trust when people stop listening, pushing back, or shutting down altogether.This conversation is for anyone who leads — at work, at home, or in their community — and feels the tension between discipline and empathy. Drawing from Marine leadership, personal wake-up moments, and real-world experience, Olaolu explores why control creates resistance, how empathy restores connection, and what it takes to lead with strength and humanity.Together, Olaolu and Irina unpack how trust is built (and rebuilt) through understanding, daily habits, and self-leadership — not authority alone. This episode offers grounded insight, practical perspective, and reassurance that leadership doesn't have to rely on force to be effective.In this episode, you'll explore:• Why people stop listening when trust is broken• How discipline and empathy can coexist in leadership• The role of self-awareness and insecurity in how we lead• How resistance signals disconnection — not failure• Daily practices that build resilience across body, mind, and spirit• Why connection always comes before influenceIf you've been feeling disconnected, stretched thin, or unsure how to lead in a way that inspires others to follow, this conversation offers a thoughtful reset — and a reminder that real leadership starts within.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Betrayal changes a man. Not just how he trusts others — but how safe he feels inside himself. After betrayal, many men don't explode. They withdraw. They isolate. They pull back to protect what's left. In this final episode of the REBUILT betrayal series, Michael-David walks men through what comes after the silence — how to rebuild trust without becoming hardened, guarded, or alone. This conversation isn't about forcing forgiveness, rushing vulnerability, or pretending betrayal didn't hurt. It's about understanding what's actually happening in a man's brain and nervous system after trust is broken — and how to move forward with wisdom, boundaries, and self-respect. In this episode, you'll learn: why betrayal damages self-trust more than trust in others how men can reconnect without lowering their guard the difference between blind trust and selective trust what safe reconnection actually looks like in dating, friendships, marriage, and the workplace when addressing betrayal directly is helpful — and when boundaries are the wiser choice how to regulate fear, anxiety, and isolation when they flare why God's faithfulness remains steady even when people fall short This episode offers clarity, reassurance, and direction for men who want connection again — but refuse to lose themselves in the process. If betrayal changed how you show up in the world, this episode will help you understand why — and show you a stronger, steadier way forward.

We just hit 200 episodes, and I wanted to do something different. Instead of one conversation, I'm counting down the 10 moments that have shaped the BraveCo community the most. These are the clips that hit men in the chest, brought real change into marriages, and reminded us what it means to live with a whole heart.In this episode, you'll hear why vulnerability isn't weakness, and why hiding doesn't make us strong. We talk about relationships and dating without all the pressure, what courage really is, and how the presence of God becomes an anchor when you're wrecked on the inside. We also go straight at the stuff men don't want to talk about: anxiety, the lies playing on repeat in your head, and how addiction is often a symptom of pain that never got a voice.Here's the links to the TOP 10 from our 200 Episodes: Number 1 - John Eldredge: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tOg88tcR1ggNumber 2 - Carl Lentz: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5e3vtBK3eS4&authuser=0Number 3- Sathiya: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EY02c6mUukg&authuser=0Number 4 - Dr. John Delony: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_aAq04ebRFI&authuser=0Number 5 - Kris Vallotton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6_Yl7vW3t8&authuser=0Number 6 - Todd Pierce: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_GLIjbpN9gY&authuser=0Number 7 - Michael Koulianos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYpmAYFRYJY&authuser=0Number 8 - Danny Silk: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMEUtdpTyl0Number 9 - Alley Vallotton: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aicz5scd03w&authuser=0Number 10 - Abi Stumvoll: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBxCIvnFPGMChapter:00:00 - 200 Episodes: 10 Moments That Shaped BraveCo01:17 - #10 Brian Johnson: Vulnerability Isn't Weakness 04:03 - #9  AlleyVallotton: Dating Without Pressure (Boundaries & Clarity)06:23 - #8 Danny Silk: Courage, Story, and the Call to Rise 10:22 - #7 Michael Koulianos: Weakness, Pain, and the Nearness of God 12:24 - #6 Todd Pierce: Courage and the Fight Every Man Faces 15:16 - #5 Kris Vallotton: Weaponized Meditation & Spiritual Warfare 17:22 - #4 John Delony: Exposing the Lies Behind Anxiety 19:26 - #3 Sathiya: The Pain Beneath Porn and Addiction 22:14 - #2 Carl Lentz: Truth, Infidelity, and Rebuilding Trust  24:55 - #1 John Eldredge: Strength on Behalf of OthersCONNECT WITH BRAVECOJoin Our Free Community for Men (ladies, sign up your man): https://www.braveco.orgFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/braveco.menInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/braveco.men/Shop: https://shop.braveco.org/ ABOUT BRAVECO: We live in a time where men are hunting for the truth and looking for the codebook to manhood.

What happens when a VR agency stops leading with compliance—and starts leading with trust? In this episode of Manager Minute, Carol Pankow sits down with Lea Dias, Director of the Hawaii Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, to talk about rebuilding an agency from the inside out. Facing high vacancies, low morale, and years of monitoring pressure, Lea chose a different path—one grounded in listening, kindness, and belief in her people. The result? ✔ Renewed staff engagement ✔ Stronger community partnerships ✔ Improved employment outcomes ✔ A culture moving from survival to purpose This is a powerful reminder that real change doesn't start with spreadsheets—it starts with people.   Listen Here   Full Transcript   Lea: I'm proud when I see my staff here at the administration level, thinking less about what the staff are doing wrong and focusing more on how can we help them, getting resources to help them, reaching out directly to help them. People talk a lot about rapid engagement and forget that ongoing part rapid and ongoing engagement. If you focus on culture first, the numbers I believe will follow. And if you focus only on numbers, the culture will crumble.   {Music} Intro Voice: Manager Minute, brought to you by the Vocational Rehabilitation Technical Assistance Center. Conversations powered by VR. One manager at a time, one minute at a time. Here is your host, Carol Pankow.   Carol: Well, welcome to the manager minute. Joining me in the studio today is Lea Dias, director of the Hawaii Division of Vocational Rehabilitation. Lea recently participated in a panel at the fall CSAVR Conference, sharing Hawaii's journey to improving employment outcomes and what she calls their secret sauce. So how are things going in Hawaii?   Lea: Oh gosh, a lot better now that the shutdown is over. And we got a couple of our grants came through recently. And so that's all good. I think a lot of people think, oh, Hawaii, it's Paradise, right?   Carol: Yes.   Lea: But we have the same sort of issues I think, that many other agencies do. But things are getting better in Hawaii. I'll say that.   Carol: That is awesome to hear. It's so good to see you again. Oh my gosh.   Lea: you too.   Carol: So for years, Hawaii has faced real challenges, including declining employment outcomes, significant work tied to addressing findings from an RSA monitoring report. In fact, you all were monitored the same year I was when I was still with Minnesota Blind back in 2019. And so I remember having a bond with you guys.   Lea: Yeah.   Carol: Because we were all going through it together.   Lea: Yes.   Carol: Now, I know when you stepped into the director role following the former director's retirement, you really brought this stabilizing, steady calmness that the agency really needed. And under your leadership, the team is rebuilding momentum, strengthening systems and really seeing some meaningful progress in the work being done across the islands. So today we're just going to explore that journey. What's changed, what's working and what other states can learn from your experience. So let's dig in.   Lea: Okay.   Carol: Can you start by sharing your journey with Hawaii VR and what led you into the director role?   Lea: Sure, Carol. Well, first of all, aloha, and thank you for having me. I have been with Hawaii Division of Vocational Rehabilitation, we're a combined agency, by the way, for over 30 years. And I started off about 34 years ago as an entry level VR counselor at the general site of our agency. And then in 2000, I moved over to become the supervisor of field services at our Ho'opono, which is our services for the blind branch. And Then I stayed there for a while. I then assumed the role of director of our New Visions Structured Discovery Orientation Center, and eventually I became the administrator of Blind Services, and I was honored to serve in that role until about July of 2023. So the majority of my career so far was spent at home. And I learned so much there, you know, working for a blind agency beyond what I got from my master's degree and all that. I learned so much about consumer empowerment. And, you know, the real dramatic changes that vocational rehabilitation can make in people's lives. So anyway, when the former Hawaii VR administrator left pretty abruptly, our agency was in a tough place. We had a vacancy rate of over 40%, I want to say close to 45% and rising low morale. We had that heavy corrective action plan you talked about from RSA and many staff were feeling really overwhelmed. So initially I stepped in as a temporary assignment just because I care so much about our agency. I love this profession. I care about the people we serve, and I wanted to do what I could to help stabilize and restore hope. And also, I had several staff approach me and ask me to do it, and that meant a lot to me. So I decided to apply after that. And I've been official in this job just a little over two and a half years, since July 2023.   Carol: That has gone really quickly.   Lea: Yes it has.   Carol: Well, and when you said bringing kind of that stabilizing calmness, everybody talks about that. You've been credited with doing that. How did you approach leading through that uncertainty and kind of rebuilding trust.   Lea: Oh gosh. Well, thank you for the compliment. But when I stepped in we were struggling across the board. And I know because I was part of that. Right. Coming from within the agency, we had declining successful employment outcomes way down. And a lot of the outcomes we had, they weren't really careers. In many cases, we had something like 77% of eligible participants leaving us before they even got to the point of IPE.   Carol: Wow!   Lea: Which is really atrocious. Super high vacancies. And because of those super high vacancies, we had counselors having to cover other counselors caseloads. So people were really burned out, overwhelmed. And because we had been working since 2019 to resolve that corrective action plan with RSA, and we had been so focused on that, staff were, I think, drowning in compliance tasks. And not that compliance isn't important because it is, of course, but there was a lot of blaming and overcorrecting in my opinion, and I think the human side of VR had been kind of pushed aside. When I was preparing for my speech for CSAVR, I kind of asked the line staff, I told them what I was going to be doing and asked them what they thought. And one counselor really summed up for me how it was by saying, just quote, we were all just Surviving.   Carol: Oh.   Lea: That's kind of pretty much where it was.   Carol: That's quite a statement.   Lea: Yeah.   Carol: it really is. And I know I worked with your team too throughout that.   Lea: Mhm.   Carol: You know, when we were trying to work on getting corrective actions done and just kind of redoing policies over and over and fifth iteration, sixth iteration.   Lea: Right.   Carol: Oh my gosh. It was.   Lea: Right.   Carol: It was a lot. And you lose that sense of, you know, you lose the sense of the people and the reason you're all there. I can completely understand that being in the midst of that.   Lea: Yeah.   Carol: I know at CSAVR the whole panel was talking about the secret sauce. What do you think has been the biggest impact so far for your agency?   Lea: Well, I focused on listening first and staff told me they felt hurt and they had felt mistrusted and they had felt disrespected. They talked about too many barriers to getting their work done. And, you know, I believed them because like I said, I know.   Carol: Yeah.   Lea: So I developed a pretty tight group of folks on my leadership team up here who I knew I could trust really implicitly to help me, you know, listen to people struggle with and overcome these barriers for our staff and our consumers. And this tight group of people, they shared my vision for the agency and my philosophy of the purpose of this great program called vocational rehabilitation. So we opened up leadership meetings. I decided to bring in frontline supervisors rather than just the people in the quote unquote, ivory tower, and line staff at all levels into our conversations. I really emphasize transparency and consistency and kindness and respect for ourselves. I demanded it to each other and to our consumers, because I really had to rebuild safety and rebuild trust. In the beginning because of the way our agency had been. When I would open up the floor, you know, for people to talk, it was crickets. People just didn't want to speak up. All of that to say, I think there's really to me and I think I said this at CSAVR, I don't think there's really a secret sauce, to be honest. We've made many improvements, but we still have a long way to go, particularly with our data collection and data analysis and reporting are performance measures. Still need a lot of work and my staff and I are learning together. I guess you could say our secret sauce is trust plus autonomy, plus removing barriers and trying to find a way to yes for our consumers and for our staff.   There's lots of little examples, you know, based on feedback that we got from our staff, we started allowing counselors to close their own cases. They weren't allowed to do that, as a result of the reaction to the corrective action plan. I would say we eliminated some things that were outdated or unnecessary, like some financial needs testing language. I stopped the communicating via solely via memo. All communication via memo. Training via memo. I mean, that kind of stuff just doesn't work. It's a good backup, but you can't rely on just written stuff.   Carol: No.   Lea: I cut out what I saw as unnecessary multi-layers of approvals for things as simple as a payment for a service to a consumer would have to come all the way up to the administrator's level if it was, I think, over $2,500. And I was like, this is ridiculous. We really started making a culture shift, I think, from compliance first to people first from distrust, mistrust, and I would say custodialism to communicating my belief, you know, in the skills and judgment of our people tried to make it a less intimidating environment where people could speak their truths and make suggestions for improvements because, you know, like I mentioned, I'm a leader, but I'm also a leader who in a lot of ways has been where they've been. And I know the power of what we can achieve when we all work together and I really believe all those things. I think all those little examples and more have really helped to make a difference.   Carol: I love that because you can always sense your authenticity. Always. I remember meeting you way back, you know, with NCSAB, and we would do work together on committees and all of that good stuff. And it's like, oh my gosh, I always just thought you were amazing because you truly, you walk the talk that you say and people believe you, you know, you're believable. And I think that trust you've put in your people. I could see a difference when we were out there, even last year as a TA center and came for a visit, there was just a whole different sense with that whole group. It was really nice to see. I can just tell. I mean, I can tell from the outside, having seen you all before in meetings where, you know, things were it just felt more chaotic and people didn't feel free to speak. And now you can just see everybody's faces. I mean, it was just their whole affect was so much better.   Lea: Oh, thank you. Thank you for your kindness. That makes me so happy to hear that. I see it, too. But it, I'm always questioning. Is it enough? Am I doing enough? There's still so much to do. But you gotta start somewhere.   Carol: Well, you have to start somewhere.   Lea: Yeah.   Carol: I think you've done an incredible job with that.   Lea: Ahh.   Carol:  What do you feel like? Maybe. What progress are you most proud of? Or. And what maybe lessons would help other agencies because other people are going through this. You are not the only one in the entire, you know, system here. It is all over the country.   Lea: Yeah. Well, I mean, closing out that corrective action plan was a huge milestone. Very proud of that, especially after so many years. So it took from 2019 till just earlier this year, 2025 for us to finally, you know, get out from under that so that we can focus on other things. But we didn't do it alone. You know, like you mentioned, Doctor Chaz Compton, Chaz and you and the entire VRTAC QM team were really instrumental in helping us get there, and you guys really walked alongside us with empathy and clarity and unwavering support. Even with the time difference and, you know, being an ocean away. I mean, you guys were always there. And, you know, after I assumed this role, you know, Doctor Compton visited us twice so far for in-person, all staff meetings. So I brought in all staff, not just counselors, not just rehab teachers, everybody on staff for in-person sessions. Zoom is great for a lot of things, but sometimes you need everyone there in person for kind of a call to action, you know what I mean?   Carol: Yeah.   Lea: Anyway, those sessions that we had together with Chaz were, I think, really helped us along in this transformation. His ability to connect with staff and reframe challenges helped us ignite what we're calling our Reimagine and Renew initiative. I also want to acknowledge you, Carol, you know, your leadership at the VRTAC QM and the way, you know, you mentioned you and your team guided our agency and you helped us see this journey not as a series of failures, which is how we felt, but really an opportunity more so for growth and renewal. So what am I most proud of? I am most proud when I see our line staff coming up with these fantastic suggestions and being willing to talk to me about it, and then acting on those where we can and making those changes.   I am proud that I see in so many of them, their passion reigniting. I'm proud that many of them don't just see this as a drudgery, kind of 9 to 5 case manager job sitting in front of a computer all day. They're out in the community a lot more now, engaging with consumers, engaging with other agency partners. And when I say engaging with consumers, things like evenings and weekends, graduations, award ceremonies, things like that might seem like a small thing to some, but I know those consumers remember and they appreciate that and their families. I'm proud when I see my staff here at the administration level thinking less about what the staff are doing wrong and focusing more on how can we help them, getting resources to help them, reaching out directly to help them. I see a lot less finger pointing in both directions, because I know when I was on the line, I'd be like those people in administration and administration, people going, are those people on the line? They don't. I see a lot less of a lot less of that. And I'm really pleased that a lot of our partners in the community are ready to talk to us again. I think a lot of those relationships, for various reasons, had been pretty badly damaged, and that's actually been a big part of my job, too, is rebuilding those relationships. So I would say the biggest lesson for other states is this you can't transform an agency just through compliance tasks alone. You need trusted partners, you need honest conversations, and you really need a willingness to go to the mat to rebuild your agency culture, like from the inside out.   Carol: That is really good advice.   Lea: Yeah.   Carol: I always think in this role it takes a village. Like when you were talking about assistance from the QM. And I know when we come alongside any state agency, we always refer to it like we. We always feel like we're part of you.   Lea: You are.   Carol: You know, even in the when we're meeting with staff and staff, it's like, okay, this is what we're going to do next, or...   Lea: Yeah.   Carol: ...let's work on this. And we always feel like we just become another we're another staff like in the group to help facilitate whatever getting done. And so.   Lea: Yeah.   Carol: That has been so fun and really fun to see. Like your people embracing all of it. You just see such a difference. It really is pretty incredible.   Lea: Yeah. And I want to be really clear. It's not about me. It's not. It's the village. It's everybody together that is making progress. And I think things are looking up.   Carol: But you did make it possible because you open the space and it takes time. Like you said, people at first weren't really willing to talk because there'd been a long time where you couldn't talk about it.   Lea: Yeah, yeah.   Carol: You know, you couldn't bring things up. I remember the whole finger pointing back and forth all the time. People were like, oh, people in Central office. They don't know what's going on out here.   Lea: Yeah, yeah. And it still happens sometimes, you know, I get it, but not, not as much as before.   Carol: Not like before, No, but it takes that. And that took you really coming in and opening up the space. And it's a time factor. Like look at you've been doing it over two years now. Probably another lesson would be it doesn't go quick. Like it takes time to do this and repairing relationships.   Lea: Yes.   Carol: That's a time factor. They've got to trust you and over and over see what you're doing.   Lea: Yeah. And this is probably bad advice, but forget the work life balance thing. For me, it's like I'm at home thinking about this stuff. Like, what can I do? You know what I mean?   Carol: I know I used to sleep, I'd sleep with a pad of paper by my bed, because I'd often wake up in the middle of the night and be like, I'd have an idea, and I'd write it down because I didn't want to lose it for the morning. And then I'd come in. I'd be like, I was thinking last night, and staff would be like, oh my God, you had your pad of paper by the bed?   Lea: Yep, I talked to Siri. Siri, take a note.   Carol: Yes!   Lea: yes.   Carol: Oh, that's so funny. What strategies do you think just a little bit on your, you know, the employment outcomes. And you've done better with those. Chaz was super jazzed about that.   Lea: Yeah.   Carol: What strategies do you think contributed most to those improvements you've had in your employment outcomes?   Lea: I've been thinking about this. I think our internal strategies, people talk a lot about rapid engagement and forget that ongoing part, rapid and ongoing engagement. Talking, you know, just like a broken record, talking with staff about that and the importance of that. And I'm seeing that happening more like I mentioned with those evenings, weekends being out in the field.   Carol: Yeah.   Lea: Streamlining processes, as I mentioned, empowering our counselors and trusting them to do their jobs. I think those were all essential. But and of course, the partnership and the help that we got from the TAC-QM, helping us look at our systems with fresh eyes and supporting us in building some sustainable, long term solutions so that external guidance also gave us confidence and helped accelerate our progress. So with all of those pieces kind of working together, some of our results have really improved dramatically. So you mentioned our successful closures. So between program year 23 and program year 24 our successful closures more than tripled. Okay.   Carol: Amazing.   Lea: The numbers are the numbers are small okay. Compared to like New York or something. But you know, in prog ram year 23 we had 30 closures. In program 24 we had 107.   Carol: That is awesome.   Lea: So yeah, I think that's pretty cool. I'm talking some of them are real careers, too, to real success story.   Carol: Oh, I love that.   Lea: That whole thing with the attrition before IPE has dropped really sharply. University of Hawaii at Manoa. They do a consumer satisfaction survey right for clients post closure, and we had the highest return rates ever and the highest levels of satisfaction ever, according to the university Hawaii, who's been doing these surveys for us. And then just some other stats to throw at you. But from program year 23 to 24, we saw our applications increase by 55%. That's applications for services. Determinations of eligibility increased by 59%, IPE development went up by 52%, and our vacancy rate for our staff has dropped to about 30 something percent. It's still high, but it's a lot lower than it was, and it's continuing to drop. And I've been able to fill some really key leadership positions where we had lost some very good people over those tumultuous years. So yeah, I hope I answered your question, but it's I think it's a lot of factors.   Carol: You did. It's been amazing though. And you look at that. I love that those kind of family sustaining wages, people in careers. That was always super important to me. I didn't want to just, you know, jobs and food, filth and flowers. Although people can do, you know, there are people that do want those jobs, but that isn't the only job that's out there.   Lea: Right. And that thinking long term.   Carol: Yeah.   Lea: You know, Chaz did training with us too. I'm thinking long term, like nurse's aide.  Or have you thought about nurse? Let's see. What are the differences here.   Carol: right.   Lea: Yeah, I like that.   Carol: Chaz is great at that. Bring it all.   Lea: Yeah.   Carol: Oh my gosh. Good for you though. Look at I think that just shows the power of when staff are trusted and they're feeling really good about their work and they're you're all in alignment on the same mission. You can really make huge things happen and including impacting your vacancy rate for employees, because I know you were much higher. I mean, it felt like you were like at 50% or something. So to have it even down to 30 is better.   Lea: Yeah. I'm also looking at revising our CSPD requirements because they're super high right now. And of course, I believe in the master's degree and the CRC and all that, but I think there's some room for us to loosen that up just a bit, still be in line with federal regulations. But that's another thing that I've heard from staff.   Carol: Yeah, that's a good idea. And there's probably a lot of people we could connect you with. Other states have done something similar to...   Lea: Yes.   Carol: ...kind of create space and layers and ways for people to get in and all of that.   Lea: Yes. Now is a good time because of the Unified State Plan is coming.   Carol: Yes. Perfect timing.   Lea: Yes.   Carol: Good pitch to make. It's like take advantage of that state plan. Time to make those changes.   Lea: Yes.   Carol: So what kind of advice would you have for other VR directors navigating tough challenges based on this experience? Do you have any other things you could offer your colleagues across the country? Because we got a lot of new people in, and there's a lot of really tough situations happening everywhere. You had quite a lot on your plate. So is there any other kind of things that could help them?   Lea: Gosh. Well, I would say start by listening. Trust your staff. They already know what the barriers are. Trust yourself. Listen to your consumers. Your consumer organizations encourage, expect, I should say, rapid and ongoing engagement with our consumers. Help them to dream big and to think long term. Find a way to say yes wherever possible. Give our consumers all the skills and confidence that they need to really achieve their life goals. Celebrate wins, even the small ones. Be a broken record if you have to. Keep your mission visible. And just remember, if you focus on culture first, the numbers I believe will follow. And if you focus only on numbers, the culture will crumble.   Carol: Really good advice.   Lea: Yeah, there's just no task too big when it's done together.   Carol: Oh, Lea, look at you go.   Lea: Ahh.   Carol: you made it all happen. Oh my God.!   Lea: Oh, stop it, I'm gonna cry.   Carol: Nah, you've been great. It's so fun to talk to you. I know chaz said at the conference people were crying when you had talked. There were so many people crying and coming up to you and really feeling so engaged and energized.   Lea: And I was surprised how many people came up because I thought our story was going to be like the worst in the whole, you know, all VR. And I had people coming up kind of, yeah, sharing that they had gone or they are going through a similar situation and, people, can I hug you?   Carol: Oh yeah.   Lea: And I was like, oh sure. You know. So no, I, I'm, I'm so humbled and honored that you even asked me to speak here because although I know we've made as a team some progress, we still have a way to go. But we're going to get there.   Carol: Yeah. See I just want other people to hear your message of hope and positivity, because I think we have a lot of directors feeling pretty, pretty sad right now. I'm pretty tough there in some pretty tough spots. And it you kind of you get that all internalized. I know from being a director too. Boy, it's hard to kind of pull out of all of that when you have just all of this piled on top of you, right? And it's hard to see sort of the light at the end of the tunnel. But your, your vision and just your whole message of really the hope and, and living into that mission and really the trust and all the things you've done, you've been doing the right things. And I think other people need to hear it. So I appreciate you doing this so much.   Lea: Oh, thank you so much again. Thank you.   Carol: Well, so I wish you much continued success. Thanks for your time. I hope you have a great day. Thank you.   Lea: Thank you, thank you.   {Music} Outro Voice: Conversations powered by VR. One manager at a time. One minute at a time.

Welcome to this episode of Fly To Freedom — a Q and A session filled with real, honest questions from inside The Eating Disorder Recovery Circle. If recovery has felt confusing, scary, messy, or strangely “too much”… this episode will help you feel understood, and steady again.We talk about the moment recovery starts to feel terrifying rather than freeing — when the eating disorder has been a familiar “safety structure” for so long that choosing freedom can feel disorienting. You'll hear why that wobble often means the brain is rewiring, why belief grows through action, and how to keep moving forwards even when certainty feels far away.This episode also covers some of the most searched (and most misunderstood) parts of eating disorder recovery and anorexia recovery: extreme hunger, constant thoughts about food, panic when hunger hits, fears about “healthy eating” turning into new rules, worries about set point and balance, and the wave of physical symptoms that can arrive during weight restoration.Why recovery can feel unreal and frightening even when you're doing the “right” thingsWhat to do with old photos from the lowest point of the eating disorder (and what it means when sadness shows up)Recovery with a busy life: kids, work, studying, dogs, and chaos — and still choosing freedomGuilt about wanting recovery: why it appears, and how to meet it with courage“All in” as a mindset (not a rigid protocol) — and how to stay committed without turning it into another set of rulesPerfectionism, cleaning, hypervigilance, and anxiety: how these patterns link to the same root system as an eating disorderEating disorder behaviours that start in adulthood: why inner child work still matters, and what it's really aboutThe moment restriction starts feeling “impossible”: why biology can begin protecting you (and why that's a win)“Healthy” rules like five a day or “clean eating”: how to spot restriction dressed up as wellnessConstant food thoughts even at a stable weight: why weight is not a measure of mental recovery, and what food preoccupation often signalsHunger panic and urgency: why it can feel extreme, and how proactive nourishment rebuilds trustExtreme hunger in the evenings: why it happens, how long it can last, and what consistency teaches the bodyItchy, sensitive skin and hair changes during weight restoration (including telogen effluvium) and gentle ways to support your bodyThe longing for “balance” and the fear of being too much: rebuilding an inner compass based on values, not shameRecovery belief grows through repetition and action. Each recovered choice teaches the brain what safety really is.Food obsession often eases through permission and consistency. The brain quiets when it truly trusts that food is allowed and available.Freedom includes flexibility. Nourishment supports health, and a rigid rulebook keeps the eating disorder alive in disguise.A busy life can still hold real recovery.

In last week's episode, Advisory Board experts explored why leaders have a responsibility to combat rising patient distrust. The challenge? Most providers aren't prepared — and often haven't been taught — how to respond effectively. Distrust isn't just about debunking misinformation. The combination of low-quality research and panic headlines has made it harder for both providers and patients to separate credible science from misinformation. But there are actionable strategies leaders can use to identify what fuels mistrust and effectively communicate with patients in ways that build confidence. This week, host Rachel (Rae) Woods sits down with Dr. Emily Oster — economist, Brown University professor, New York Times bestselling author, and Founder & CEO of ParentData — to unpack her approach to effective health communication. Throughout the episode, they unpack why scientific skepticism is growing and why the delivery of health information — not just expertise — is critical to engaging patients.
