In this episode, I'm sharing five powerful strategies to help you cut through the mental clutter, reclaim your energy, and make progress on the things that actually move the needle. What You'll Learn in This Episode: ✔️ How automating small, daily choices can free up tons of mental space ✔️ Why “pre-deciding” can be a total game-changer for your productivity ✔️ The power of batching (and how one of my clients used it to simplify her chaotic paper piles) ✔️ The simple boundary trick that makes decluttering (or any decision-making) so much easier ✔️ Why prioritizing rest isn't a luxury—it's a productivity superpower

Many private practice owners and staff feel stretched thin and stuck without clear direction.

You'll discover why the brain craves direction, how operational goals create purpose, and why small, measurable changes—like reducing patient wait times or improving response rates—can have a massive impact on morale and business growth.

One in 8 women in the United States will have her ovaries removed prior to the onset of natural menopause, and this number is growing. On top of that, each year about 600,000 hysterectomies are performed and more than 300,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer, many under the age of 50. If you or someone you love experienced this kind of procedure, you may be asking “now what?”. What are the impacts on the rest of your body when you experience abrupt menopause? Do other health risks increase? And what about breast cancer? This week, we are joined by Dr. Corinne Menn, a board-certified OB-GYN, a breast cancer survivor of over 23 years, and a BRCA gene carrier.

It was a bit of a challenge, but I launched the 2024 Kickstarter for the podcast. It was a challenge because I'm just over two weeks out from having hip replacement surgery. It's incredible that they can do this major surgery and just two weeks later I am walking. I mean, I am still working hard every day to strengthen my leg, but just wow. Nevertheless, I only had two episodes in the can. And I'm struggling to stay on top of the podcast, let alone launch a Kickstarter. But the Kickstarter is designed to promote the podcast, so it makes sense to launch it as soon as possible. Anyway, if you love the podcast, hearing all of this great music each and every week, even when I'm kinda down for the count. If you want to preserve your love of the best Celtic songs and tunes of 2024.

I know my email is MrChristopherPatrick, but my full name is Christopher Patrick Toler. Having a couple of cousins who are ALSO named Chris Toler, (and wanting the signature 'Chris P.' for a comic strip I also do, prompted the use of my middle name. I now find myself attempting to start a brand, 'Tolergraphics,' and believe having my correct name mentioned along with talk of my designs would be helpful. Thank you in advance for addressing this, Christopher (Patrick) Toler P.S. Still love listening to the podcast. I'm happy to be a small part of it!” Cheryl Arvio emailed: "Dear Marc, Loved the interview with Shannon Heaton, especially hearing about her time in Chicago and playing in sessions. My partner has known John Williams for years, and we are actually going to Brendan and Siobhan McKinney's restaurant tonight!  They host sessions there on Sundays. Great coincidence to hear them mentioned on your show just as we were planning to go to their place for dinner and a James Joyce program! If we run into them, I'll mention having heard the shout out on Irish & Celtic Music Podcast! Best, Cheryl"

Trying to get enough water a day can be so confusing. Is is eight 8-ounce glasses a day? Or is it a gallon of water a day? Am I even getting close? The reality is if you don't drink enough water, you're going to feel lethargic, stiff and achy throughout your entire body, bloated, constipated, and generally unwell…which in turn, impacts your motivation and drive to do anything else fitness or nutrition related! There are some BIG mistakes that people often make when it comes to drinking water. And it has nothing to do with electrolytes or alkaline water or anything fad-related.

Which physician has the highest burnout? How does gender affect burnout? Why is mental health important for healthcare workers? Our guest, Mary Pan, MD, family medicine physician and chief wellness officer at the Washington Permanente Medical Group, discusses the ongoing issue of burnout among women physicians, the persistent gender gap in burnout rates, and outlines innovative health care support systems like physician mentorship and peer support to improve the well-being of doctors.

Homeopathic medicine is a system of medicine that uses highly diluted substances, known as remedies, to treat illnesses.  Homeopathy is based on the following principles: Like cures like: Substances that cause symptoms in healthy people can be used in diluted form to treat similar symptoms in patients.    Law of infinitesimals: The more diluted a remedy is, the more potent it becomes.    Individualization: Homeopathic remedies are individualized based on the patient's symptoms and overall health.    Homeopathic remedies are typically made from natural substances, such as plants, minerals, or animal products. They are diluted in a series of steps, known as succussion, until they contain very little of the original substance.   Although in the past there was limited scientific evidence to support the effectiveness of homeopathic medicine. New studies have shown that homeopathic remedies are effective and are validating the use of homeopathic medicine for certain ailments. More research is on the forefront to validate homeopathy.   Visit Website ACTIVMEND   Buy ACTIVMED on Amazon

It can be hard to find sacred spaces in our busy, modern world. We often hustle between one frenetic environment to the next, without a moment to catch our breath, pause, and connect. For our mental, physical, and spiritual well-being, it's imperative that we create intentional, sacred spaces for ourselves. The easiest and most accessible way to do this is by creating an altar. You don't need a lot of space or any fancy tools to do this. Simply gather items that have meaning for you, find a permanent (or temporary) nook, and give yourself the gift of connecting with the Divine whenever you feel called to do so. As we trek through the freshly fallen snow, imagine your future altar and the solace it will bring into your life.

In this episode of Caring Greatly, Christina and Christine share the details of the Psychological First Aid (PFA) training they created and launched at ChristianaCare. Their training, which has reached more than 50% of leaders at ChristianaCare, uses an easy-to-remember three-step model of recognizing signs of stress or distress, supporting immediate recovery and referring team members to additional resources provided by ChristianaCare to support team member safety and wellbeing. As a result, the number of referrals to the organization's Care for the Caregiver program has doubled. Essentially, PFA serves as a culture change mechanism to help reduce the stigma around mental health care. By giving leaders and bedside team members a shared vocabulary around safety and wellbeing, help-seeking behavior is being normalized. It's also opening new horizons and expanding resources to support more elements of trauma recovery and trauma-informed care and leadership.    Find more resources at www.heartofsafetycoalition.com   The views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the speakers and do not necessarily reflect the views or positions of Stryker.
