The Guys pull back the curtain on expediting, ticket management, and the small operational decisions diners rarely see. They share how shifting celebrations beyond February 14th can ease pressure on both restaurants and relationships.The ConversationThe Guys dive into a wide-ranging Inside Track discussion sparked by the @MassSpecEverything channel, exploring mass spectrometry and spirits—from alleged additives in tequila to why common hand-rub tests don't reveal everything. The talk moves to Coca-Cola lore, including what *really makes Mexican Coke special.Eggs take center stage as they unpack price spikes linked to bird flu, pasture-raised labeling, feed-driven nutritional differences, and how yolk color can be manipulated.

Hiring feels harder than ever. Teams are stretched thin. Turnover is constant. So, what actually works right now? In this follow-up episode of the Everyday Oral Surgery Podcast, Dr. Grant Stucki continues his conversation with returning guest Dr. Roger Levin, founder and CEO of Levin Group. Building on their previous discussion about the office manager as chief operating officer (COO), this episode focuses on how to build the right team around that role. Dr. Levin breaks down why the office manager must take full ownership of recruiting, onboarding, and team development, and why surgeons need to delegate without disengaging. He outlines practical steps for attracting candidates, screening effectively, conducting stronger interviews, and onboarding new hires in ways that promote retention and engagement. The discussion also explores red flags to watch out for, the value of maturity and reliability, and how systems, culture, and leadership determine whether new team members succeed or fail. This episode offers clear, experience-based insights for oral surgeons and office managers looking to improve their practice. Listen in to rethink how you hire, train, and support the people who keep your practice running!Key Points From This Episode:The office manager as the chief operating officer (COO) for all non-clinical practice functions.Why building and managing the team is a central office manager responsibility.The ongoing staffing crisis in dentistry and its impact on oral surgery practices.Recruiting as a structured process owned by the office manager, not the surgeon.The importance of clear, updated job descriptions before hiring begins.Practical recruiting channels, from online postings and team referrals to internal promotion.Telephone screening to save time and qualify candidates early.The importance of checking references before the live interview.Best practices for in-office interviews in a competitive labor market.Using longevity bonuses to reduce costly staff turnover and reward retention.Red flags in interviews, including punctuality and communication skills.Setting clear goals so team members understand how success is measured.Assigning a “big sister” to support and integrate new hires.Regular check-ins to support onboarding without formal performance reviews.The doctor's role in supporting hires while still delegating management.Links Mentioned in Today's Episode:Dr. Roger Levin — https://www.linkedin.com/in/roger-levin-69ab744/ Levin Group — https://levingroup.com/Office Manager Practice Mastery Program — https://levingroup.com/office-manager-practice-mastery-program/Episode 313 — https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/10-power-tips-for-multi-office-practice-growth-with-dr/id1535284898?i=1000717140271Episode 343 — Everyday Oral Surgery Website — https://www.everydayoralsurgery.com/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/everydayoralsurgery/ Everyday Oral Surgery on Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/EverydayOralSurgery/Dr. Grant Stucki Email — grantstucki@gmail.comDr. Grant Stucki Phone — 720-441-6059

In this episode of The IT Experts Podcast, we explore why owner dependency quietly destroys MSP valuations and what you must do now to build real, transferable value in your business.     If you have ever assumed your MSP will sell when the time comes, this conversation may shift your thinking. Stuart and I unpack a hard truth. A business that cannot run and grow without you will always carry risk in the eyes of a buyer. And risk directly impacts MSP valuations.     We were prompted to record this episode after a sobering conversation with an MSP owner who had attempted to sell multiple times over several years. Each time, buyers began the process. Each time, due diligence exposed weaknesses. Each time, the deal collapsed. Not because the business was small. Not because there was no demand. The issue was clarity, structure, and owner dependency. The business worked for him. It did not work without him.     That distinction is critical.     When buyers assess MSP valuations, they are not buying your effort. They are buying sustainable profit. They are buying systems. They are buying a team. They are buying recurring revenue. They are buying predictability. If you are central to sales, delivery, relationships and decision making, the buyer sees fragility. And fragility reduces multiples.     We often explain valuation through simple maths. Imagine a one million pound MSP generating two hundred and fifty thousand pounds of EBITDA. At a modest multiple, you may walk away with half a million pounds. After decades of work, that can feel underwhelming. The opportunity lies in understanding that MSP valuations are influenced by clear, controllable drivers.     Recurring revenue mix is one of them. Many MSPs above two million pounds in turnover still rely heavily on project income. That may feel exciting and profitable. It also introduces volatility. Increasing recurring revenue from fifty percent to seventy five percent can materially improve how buyers view your stability and future cash flow.     Contract length is another lever. Monthly rolling agreements are easy to sell. They also weaken your negotiating position when it comes to MSP valuations. As your confidence grows, building longer term agreements with clients strengthens predictability and reduces perceived risk.     Service gross margin is often overlooked. Buyers want to see not only recurring revenue, but recurring margin. They want to understand the efficiency of your service desk and the return generated per technician. Strong revenue per full time employee signals operational maturity. Clean numbers, transparent reporting, and clear profitability remove doubt during due diligence.     Then there is client concentration. Over-reliance on one or two major clients creates vulnerability. Strengthening account management, spreading revenue more evenly, and improving client retention all contribute positively to MSP valuations.     Yet none of these matter fully if the owner remains the bottleneck.     We refer to this as ONN, owner not needed. This does not mean you disappear tomorrow. It means your business can run and grow without your daily involvement. Holidays without disruption are a starting point. True value is created when growth continues even while you step back from delivery.     Building towards ONN requires leadership development, documented processes, empowered managers, and consistent rhythm in reporting and accountability. It is straightforward in principle. It is demanding in practice. Letting go, hiring stronger people, and shifting your leadership style takes intention.     The encouraging news is that this transformation does not require magic tools or dramatic reinvention. It is disciplined business practice. Clear KPIs. Departmental plans. Regular reviews. Consistent focus on sales, account management, people engagement and margin control. When stitched together, these habits compound.     Improving MSP valuations is rarely about chasing a headline multiple. It is about reducing risk and increasing clarity. Buyers walk away when profit is opaque, when dependency is high, and when systems are weak. They lean in when performance is transparent and transferable.     For established MSPs already above one million pounds in revenue, a focused three-year commitment to strengthening structure can materially change exit outcomes. For others, it may take longer. The timeline is less important than the decision to begin. Planning for exit today gives you options tomorrow, even if you choose to continue building.     There is also a powerful side effect. Businesses that reach a strong ONN position often discover they enjoy the work more. Time increases. Profits rise. Acquisition opportunities become viable. MSP valuations improve not only because you are preparing to sell, but because you are building a stronger company.     At some point, every owner will exit. The question is whether you leave with confidence and control, or whether you accept whatever is offered because options have narrowed.     Owner dependency is fixable. Transferable value is buildable. MSP valuations are influenced by the decisions you make now.     If this episode resonated, start by reviewing your recurring revenue mix, contract structure, service gross margin and leadership depth. Build a plan. Work the plan. Stay consistent.     Strong MSP valuations are not accidental. They are earned through structure, discipline and the courage to let go.   Make sure to check out our Ultimate MSP Growth Guide, a free guide that walks you through a proven process to take your MSP from stuck to scalable, without working even more hours. It's 44 pages rammed with advice, insights and inspiration to help you decide what support is available to you now if you want to grow and scale your business.

La Casa Blanca afirma que este paso constituye la mayor desregulación en la historia de Estados Unidos, pero los ambientalistas dicen que resultará costosa para los estadounidenses.

If you're holding a cup of coffee or tea right now, here's a small piece of encouraging news. A large study published in the journal JAMA suggests that people who drink two to three cups of caffeinated coffee or tea a day have about a 15-20 percent lower risk of developing dementia compared to people who avoid these drinks altogether. The researchers analysed data from more than 130,000 men and women followed for up to 43 years as part of two major US health studies. Participants regularly reported what they ate and drank, whether they developed dementia, and how their cognitive abilities changed over time. The people who drank the most caffeinated coffee or tea had an 18 percent lower risk of dementia compared to those who drank little or none. The benefit seemed to plateau at around two to three cups of coffee or one to two cups of tea per day. Decaf coffee showed no clear link to reduced dementia risk. Regular caffeine drinkers also reported slightly less cognitive decline and performed a bit better on some objective brain function tests. Now we have to remember there may be other factors. It's possible that people who drink tea and coffee differ in other ways, maybe they're more socially engaged, more active, or have different sleep patterns. For example, people with poor sleep (which is linked to higher dementia risk) might avoid caffeine which could skew the results. There are plausible biological reasons for the link. Tea and coffee contain caffeine and polyphenols, which may: Improve blood vessel health Reduce inflammation Lower oxidative stress (damage caused by free radicals) Improve metabolic health Caffeine is also associated with lower rates of type 2 diabetes, which is itself a risk factor for dementia. But caffeine isn't purely good. In some people it raises blood pressure, and high blood pressure is a major driver of dementia risk so more isn't better. Experts estimate that up to half of dementia cases worldwide could potentially be prevented or delayed by addressing known risk factors like high blood pressure, smoking, obesity, hearing loss, poor sleep, and lack of exercise. So while your morning coffee might be part of a healthy pattern, it's not a magic shield. The real protective factors are the familiar ones: regular exercise, balanced nutrition, good sleep, social connection, and mental stimulation. If anything, this research offers gentle reassurance. If you enjoy your daily coffee or tea, there's no strong evidence here that you need to give it up for brain health and there may even be a modest benefit.

Fermented foods are biologically active whole foods that reshape digestion and immune signaling by delivering microbes, enzymes, and microbial byproducts together, not isolated nutrients Most benefits from fermented foods come from changes in gut chemistry and microbial signaling rather than permanent colonization, which explains why you can see results even without lasting microbiome changes Different fermented foods act through different pathways, so rotating options like yogurt, kefir, sauerkraut, and sourdough supports broader gut resilience than relying on a single "superfood" Regular fermented food intake increases gut microbiome diversity and lowers systemic inflammation, a pattern linked to reduced risk of metabolic, inflammatory, and stress-related conditions Introducing fermented foods gradually and with meals improves tolerance, nutrient absorption, and digestive comfort while rebuilding the microbial signals modern diets removed

Managing a horse diagnosed with metabolic problems means understanding how conditions such as equine metabolic syndrome (EMS) and insulin dysregulation increase the risk of serious complications, including laminitis. Horses with metabolic problems often benefit from controlled diets low in sugars and starches, tailored to prevent spikes in blood insulin and support healthy body condition. Regular exercise and weight management should be part of a comprehensive plan because activity can help improve insulin sensitivity and supports overall metabolic health. While there's no cure for these conditions, strategic, research-based care can help improve your metabolic horse's well-being.During this podcast, two experts answer listener questions about managing horses that have metabolic problems.About the Experts: Greg Schmid, DVM, originally from Canada, moved to Ohio as a teenager, where his family trained dressage and eventing horses. He earned a Bachelor of Science in equine science from Otterbein University, in Westerville, Ohio, and a DVM from The Ohio State University, in Columbus. After graduation, Schmid completed an internship at B.W. Furlong & Associates, in Oldwick, New Jersey, and then worked with Dr. John “Doc” Steele in a hunter/jumper-focused practice covering the East Coast. He later practiced in Portland, Oregon, working with various English and Western sport horses. Schmid joined Dechra as an equine professional services veterinarian in September 2020 and now lives in Asheville, North Carolina.Caitrin Lowndes, DVM, is a research fellow at the Van Eps Laminitis and Endocrinology Laboratory at the University of Pennsylvania's New Bolton Center, in Kennett Square, with a background in field practice. Her main area of research is the improved diagnosis and management of insulin dysregulation, with particular interest in how that research can be translated into clinical practice for the treatment and prevention of laminitis.

Coffee is comforting. Familiar. For many of us, it's the unofficial start button for the day. But have you ever paused to wonder whether your daily caffeine habit is truly supporting your health—or simply helping you push through exhaustion? In this episode, we take an honest, balanced look at caffeine from a Christian, whole-person perspective. We'll talk about the potential benefits, the possible downsides, and how caffeine can affect sleep, stress, mood, and even our sense of freedom. This conversation is for Christian women who want to care for their bodies with wisdom and discernment. The goal isn't to shame coffee drinkers or create fear—it's to help you slow down, think clearly, and consider what's best for your body and season of life. What Caffeine Really Is Caffeine is often treated as harmless and normal, but it's technically considered a stimulant that affects the nervous system. It naturally occurs in coffee beans, tea leaves, and cacao, and it's also manufactured and added to many processed foods and drinks. Most of us think of caffeine as something found only in coffee or soda. But it also shows up in places like: Energy drinks Pain relievers Chocolate and candy Certain gums and mints Even some personal care products In the United States, the majority of adults consume caffeine every day, often without giving it much thought. The Helpful Side of Caffeine Caffeine isn't automatically “bad.” Used in reasonable amounts, it can offer real benefits, such as: Feeling more awake and alert Sharper reaction time Short-term mental focus Extra stamina for certain tasks Occasional support with pain relief For some women, a cup of coffee is simply enjoyable and fits well into a healthy lifestyle. The concern isn't caffeine itself. The concern is how easily it can become a crutch instead of a choice. The Possible Downsides What gives you energy in the morning can also interfere with your body in ways you might not notice right away. Regular caffeine use has been linked with things like: Trouble falling or staying asleep Higher stress and anxiety levels Changes in heart rate and blood pressure Feeling wired but tired Increased irritability Negative effects for sensitive individuals One of the biggest traps is the cycle many women get stuck in: Not enough sleep → more caffeine → worse sleep → even more caffeine. Over time, caffeine can become both the thing you rely on for energy and the very thing stealing your rest. Dependence Is More Common Than We Realize Most people don't think of caffeine as something you can be dependent on. But many experience real physical effects when they stop using it. Common symptoms after cutting back include: Headaches Low energy Difficulty focusing Mood changes Feeling achy or “off” Because these feelings are uncomfortable, it's easy to reach for more coffee just to avoid them. That's how a simple habit can slowly turn into something we feel controlled by. A Faith-Centered Lens on Coffee and Caffeine As Christian women, we're invited to live with freedom and wisdom in every area of life—including our daily habits. Scripture offers this gentle reminder: “All things are lawful for me, but not all things are helpful… I will not be dominated by anything.” – 1 Corinthians 6:12 Coffee may be permissible. Caffeine may be socially normal. But a better question is: Is it truly helpful for you right now? If you feel like you can't function without caffeine, or you're using it to ignore exhaustion instead of listening to your body, that may be worth bringing before the Lord. Your body was designed for rhythms of rest and restoration. Stimulants can't replace what real sleep and peace provide. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – An honest conversation about America's favorite legal drug 01:00 – Understanding what caffeine actually is 02:00 – Surprising places caffeine can be found 03:20 – How caffeine can create a sleep cycle problem 03:45 – Possible benefits of moderate caffeine use 04:10 – Potential effects on the heart and stress levels 05:00 – Special concerns for pregnancy, breastfeeding, and children 07:20 – How caffeine withdrawal can show up 09:40 – Why caffeine often masks deeper fatigue 10:15 – A biblical perspective on being mastered by habits 11:10 – Ways to evaluate your own caffeine use Key Takeaways Caffeine can be useful—but it can also quietly interfere with sleep and stress. Many people rely on caffeine more than they realize. More coffee isn't always the answer to low energy. Each woman's body responds differently—discernment matters. Faith invites us to care for our bodies with intention, not autopilot. Instead of asking, “Am I allowed to drink coffee?” consider asking: “Is this helping me thrive—or just helping me keep going when I need rest?” If this episode made you pause and think about your own habits—whether with caffeine, sleep, stress, or energy—you don't have to sort it all out alone.

Listen now on Apple, Spotify, and YouTube.—Berkay is a UX researcher with over eight years of experience, mostly in e-commerce and banking, working across both B2B and B2C. He has a bachelor's and a master's degree in product design and design research. His focus is on turning research into actionable insights, improving research processes and helping teams make user-centered decisions. Basically, reducing uncertainty. He also co-founded UXR Playground, Turkey's leading UX platform, where he runs trainings, workshops and mentorship programs. In a past role, he built and led a ResearchOps team, creating systems to make research more efficient and scalable.In our conversation, we discuss:* The eight-step framework Berkay uses for smooth, ethical participant recruitment, built from actual interviews and field work.* Why many researchers are flying blind with recruitment and how junior researchers often end up as accidental call center reps.* The most common screw-ups in screener surveys and how to write questions that don't sabotage your study before it starts.* How Berkay built a participant panel inside a 30-million-user company without a budget, and with legal breathing down his neck.* Why most panels fall apart after setup, and what to actually prioritize if you want yours to last longer than three studies.Some takeaways:* Ethics aren't optional. If you're collecting personal data, you're responsible for what happens to it. Berkay shares how one company got sued after leaking participant emails. It's not a footnote, it's a risk. Build ethics and legal compliance into your process from day one, or you'll learn the hard way.* Most companies are bad at recruitment and fixing it takes more than tools. Berkay got so fed up with watching junior researchers waste hours cold-calling participants that he turned the whole thing into a research study. The findings? A total lack of structure, zero shared frameworks, and a ton of internal guesswork pretending to be process.* Bad screener surveys kill good research. Asking “Do you use this app?” is a great way to recruit liars. Berkay shares simple but smart ways to avoid bias in screeners like using multi-select questions, hiding the research topic, and adding duplicate questions to sniff out lazy responses.* Building a panel sounds smart until you have to maintain it. Setting up a panel is the easy part. The real challenge is keeping the data clean, staying GDPR-compliant, and making participants feel like they're still part of something. Regular outreach (like quarterly surveys) and strong ties to your data team are non-negotiable.* A good panel is a cross-team operation. Berkay didn't just build a landing page and hope for the best. He brought in product, customer support, PMs, and data science from the start. If you want a panel that works across research needs and methods, it has to be owned across the company too.Where to find Berkay:* LinkedInStop piecing it together.

I talk about the post trade deadline duldrums, the fighting, and the latest Kawhi stuff.  Regular features are here.  Non-basketball is Super Bowl.

We live in a moment where difficulty is quickly labeled as damage and discomfort is often treated as pathology. While trauma is real and serious, not every hard moment is trauma—and confusing the two can quietly undermine resilience, clarity, and growth. When every struggle is interpreted as injury, we lose the ability to endure, discern, and respond wisely. This week on Win Today, Dr. Lee Warren returns to continue our Self-Brain Surgery conversation. We talk about what it actually means to take a thought captive, why anxiety spirals feel uncontrollable even when they're not, and how automatic thinking patterns quietly shape the brain. Dr. Warren also challenges common scientific blind spots that ignore meaning, responsibility, and agency in the healing process. This episode helps you separate pain from pathology, suffering from trauma, and awareness from action—so you can move from mental reactivity to intentional renewal. Guest Bio Dr. W. Lee Warren is a practicing neurosurgeon, author, and speaker known for integrating neuroscience, faith, and personal experience to help people heal from trauma and transform their lives. A survivor of profound personal loss, he has spent decades studying how thoughts shape the brain and how intentional mental practices can lead to lasting emotional and spiritual renewal. He is the author of multiple books, including The Life-Changing Art of Self-Brain Surgery.

Medicare Advantage is undergoing a reckoning ... and that reckoning is coming from within. In January Kaiser Permanente affiliates agreed to pay $556 million to resolve allegations that it violated the False Claims Act by submitting invalid diagnosis codes for their MA Plan enrollees in order to receive higher payments from the government.  The case was instigated by what is known as whistleblowers. Regular listeners might recall my podcast on this topic back in January 2025 with Mary Inman, a Partner at Whistleblower Partners LLP, and Head of International Whistleblower Practice for the firm. We had a fascinating conversation about the process of whistleblowing and New York insurer Independent Health, which agreed in December 2024 to pay $100M to settle allegations it had upcoded claims to inflate MA payment. We've now more than 5x-ed that fine with Kaiser. Per the Department of Justice the claims resolved by the settlement are allegations only and there has been no determination of liability. But it was a major wakeup call for MA. Mary is back for today's show along with her colleague Liz Soltan, a senior associate in the firm's NYC office. Listen in as we discuss: Key terms: What is whistleblowing and the concept of qui-tam? Kaiser case origins which began more than 12 years ago, and Mary and Liz's evolving roles in the case The facts on the ground, as alleged by the whistleblowers and the DOJ, specifically the issue of addenda to the medical record Unfolding of the case, a behind the scenes look as new whistleblowers joined, and reaching of the settlement What can we learn from a medical coding/reimbursement perspective? What can healthcare organizations do to ensure their employees don't blow the whistle and avoid similar fines and headlines?

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this energetic and motivational conversation, Hall of Fame speaker Dr. Willie Jolley joins Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss his new book, “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better.” The interview covers the difference between being rich and being wealthy, the mindsets required for long-term financial growth, and how individuals—no matter their background—can build generational wealth. Jolley also emphasizes discipline, humility, planning, multiple streams of income, overcoming setbacks, and the importance of insurance and protection of assets. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW The interview aims to: 1. Introduce and promote Dr. Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better” and the teachings within it. 2. Educate listeners on the distinction between rich and wealthy Jolley wants audiences to understand wealth in generational, not short-term, terms. 3. Motivate individuals to shift their financial mindset From “working money” to “mailbox money.” 4. Empower entrepreneurs and families To adopt discipline, drop pride, and create multigenerational financial systems. 5. Share Jolley’s personal setback‑to‑success story To reinforce that anyone can grow wealth with the right principles. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rich vs. Wealthy Being rich = high income, often tied to active labor (e.g., athlete contracts). Being wealthy = passive income, ownership, generational sustainability. A rich football player earns millions; the team owner earns billions and doesn’t have to “run up and down the field.” 2. The Five Money Mindsets Jolley explains five financial mindsets: One‑day mindset – living day to day. 30‑day mindset – fixed incomes/check-to-check living. One‑year mindset – annual thinking (raises, annual income). Decade mindset – typical for entertainers/athletes with multi‑year contracts. Generational mindset (Wealth Mindset) – building wealth to last multiple generations. Jolley’s goal: move people up just one level at a time. 3. Five Types of Wealth Jolley breaks wealth into five categories: Financial Wealth Health Wealth (“A sick person has one dream; a healthy person has a thousand.” – Les Brown) Relationship Wealth Reputational Wealth (Brand) Intellectual Capital Wealth (What you know and can charge for) 4. Discipline Is the Key Wealth requires: Living below your means Investing the difference Consistency Avoiding arrogance and ignorance 5. Pride Is an Enemy of Wealth Pride leads people to overspend to keep up appearances.Jolley argues that pride “kills wealth” and must be replaced with planning and humility. 6. The Three Legs of Wealth To build sustainable wealth, you need: Income Investment (letting money work for you) Insurance (life, health, car, disability, long-term care) 7. Multiple Streams of Income Jolley urges everyone to build at least two streams of income from: Stocks Bonds Real estate Crypto Collectibles Jewelry Art Content creation 8. Overcoming Setbacks Jolley details his own journey from unemployed nightclub singer to globally recognized motivational speaker.He reinforces that a setback is a setup for a comeback—the core message of his earlier bestselling book. 9. It’s Never Too Late to Start He cites examples of: A secretary who retired with $8M by investing small amounts over time Invested $12,000 at age 65 and grew it to $890,000 by age 72 NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Time & Opportunity “I have only just a minute… but it’s up to me to use it.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” On Rich vs. Wealthy “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth.” On Growth & Learning “If you’re willing to learn, no one can stop you.” [On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” On Starting Late “When is the best time to plant a tree?

The opposite of quitting is recommitting. And sometimes that means you need a spelled-out roadmap to help you define what steps you can take to recommit to recovery. Today's episode is different. I'm not speaking in theoretical terms or giving advice I wouldn't follow myself. I'm sharing exactly what I would do if I was trapped in an eating disorder right now. The actual steps. The concrete path forward. The golden nugget roadmap I would follow myself. Whether you're experiencing a relapse, stuck in your recovery, or wish you could go back and tell your younger self what to do—this episode is your clear, actionable guide. In this episode, you'll discover: The 6-step roadmap I'd follow if I was trapped in an eating disorder today Why relapse is normal and doesn't mean you've failed Step 1: Recognition and acceptance—how to get out of denial faster Step 2: Immediate outreach—breaking the isolation that keeps you stuck Step 3: Implementing structure—what to do RIGHT NOW to support yourself Step 4: Investigating triggers—what's really driving this beneath the surface Step 5: Developing a crisis response plan—how to create lasting recovery Step 6: Reconnecting with your WHY—the values your ED is violating What I wish I could tell my younger self 15+ years ago Why recovery isn't about perfection—it's about progress How to recommit to your best self starting TODAY If you're in the trenches, if you've relapsed, if you're struggling—this roadmap is for you. Not theory. Just honest, practical steps. THE 6-STEP RECOVERY ROADMAP STEP 1: RECOGNITION AND ACCEPTANCE The hardest step: Admitting where you are is no longer where you want to be. If I was relapsing today, I know I'd experience a strong pull toward denial. I might tell myself: "I'm just being more careful about what I eat" "I'm having a few bad days" "I can handle this on my own" What I'd do instead: ✅ Name what's happening - Get out of denial faster ✅ Ask myself: Am I skipping meals? Preoccupied with food thoughts? Anxious around mealtimes? Weighing myself? ✅ Practice self-compassion - Not excusing the behavior, but acknowledging eating disorders are complex illnesses, not personal failures ✅ Say to myself: "This is really hard. I don't have to do this alone." This step creates the foundation to move forward in ACTION instead of sitting in denial. STEP 2: IMMEDIATE OUTREACH Eating disorders thrive in isolation. My counter-attack would be CONNECTION. What I'd do: ✅ Contact someone I trust - In my case, my mom. I'd say: "I'm struggling with my thoughts and behaviors. I need support." ✅ Get professional help immediately If I had a treatment team: Contact them and say "I'm experiencing relapse. I need an appointment ASAP." If I didn't: Call primary care doctor, get a referral, look into local ED treatment centers ✅ Get accountability - Schedule meals, keep appointments with myself, check in with someone Key truth: Don't wait until things get "bad enough." Early intervention makes a tremendous difference. Breaking isolation doesn't mean everyone needs to know. It means strategically connecting with people who can provide support. STEP 3: IMPLEMENTING STRUCTURE What I'd put in place immediately: ✅ Regular eating patterns - Have a plan ready, no reinventing the wheel during vulnerable times. Use the same meals daily to reduce decision fatigue. ✅ Clean up social media & entertainment Unfollow accounts that trigger comparison or food obsession Avoid shows glorifying thinness or dieting Curate recovery-supportive content Join communities like Her Best Self Society (HerBestSelfSociety.com) ✅ Set clear boundaries with exercise - Temporarily pause formalized exercise, focus on gentle movement (This requires support—I couldn't do this alone) ✅ Document thoughts & feelings - Not to be perfect, but to increase awareness of patterns and triggers. Rebuild trust with body and mind. Structure = support. Not rigidity, but safety. STEP 4: INVESTIGATING TRIGGERS Eating disorders aren't just about food or weight. What's really happening beneath the surface? Questions I'd ask myself: ❓ What changes in my life have happened recently? (Transition, loss, increased responsibility, relationship change) ❓ What emotions am I struggling to manage? ❓ What am I trying to numb, distract from, or control? ❓ What needs aren't being met right now? ❓ What external pressures am I responding to? ❓ What beliefs am I believing about my worth, body, or identity? The truth: Eating disorders flare during periods of change and loss of control. Understanding triggers helps you heal beyond just the behaviors—you learn to process emotions in healthier ways. STEP 5: DEVELOPING A CRISIS RESPONSE PLAN Lasting recovery requires more than just putting out fires. What I'd create: ✅ Coping strategies - Tools to use when urges arise ✅ Relapse prevention plan - Document early warning signs, high-risk situations, actions to take ✅ Support system - Who to call, when, and why The sustainable plan is about building a life where: The eating disorder becomes less necessary and less powerful Recovery feels like moving TOWARD something meaningful Not just running away from illness Work with someone to determine exactly what support you need and put that planning in place. STEP 6: RECONNECTING WITH YOUR WHY The most important step: Remember what the eating disorder is stealing from you. What I'd do: ✅ Identify the values my ED violates The ED promises control, safety, worth. But it actually undermines: freedom, joy, creativity, authenticity, relationships, purpose. ✅ Compile a list: What has this ED taken from me? Holidays ruined Relationships lost Moments with loved ones missed Energy wasted Dreams on hold Future opportunities destroyed ✅ Ask: What present moments is it stealing RIGHT NOW?

Why You Should ListenFrom television and advertising to building Asheville's restaurant sceneHow fine dining, farm-to-table thinking, and wine culture shaped a food townThe 2008 crisis and a pivot to neighborhood Italian that lastedWhat Hurricane Helene revealed about restaurants as community lifelinesThe BanterRestaurateurs Mark Pascal and Francis Schott set the table with stories starting with Mark's Uber Eats account taking a hit when his kids order Papa John's. The banter detours into “taste credit scores,” childhood jobs, and practical tips on chopping onions without the tears.The ConversationEric Scheffer, a defining voice in Asheville's food scene, shares how he left Los Angeles for a then-sleepy mountain town with few restaurants, buying a modest space and transforming it into The Savoy—white tablecloths, a serious wine program, and a dining scene energized by transplants and early farm-to-table momentum. The Guys explore what made Asheville fertile ground prior to the 2008 financial crisis and Eric's pivot toward affordable, nostalgic Italian-American comfort that resonated deeply, along the way touching on Cindy Lauper, a makeover for a bank loan, and why collaboration beats competition.The Inside TrackHurricane Helene becomes the proof point: restaurant people feed people. Eric describes coordinating water, reopening kitchens, helping operators get online, and leaning on relationships to mobilize quickly. The Guys connect this to their core belief that independent restaurants aren't food dispensaries; they're community infrastructure.Timestamps00:00 – Welcome to The Restaurant Guys 02:00 – Uber Eats scandal & childhood hustles 08:00 – Introducing Eric Scheffer: from Brooklyn and LA to Asheville 17:45 – Cindy Lauper and fitting in North Carolina 20:25 – Hurricane Helene: restaurants feeding the community 32:21 – Wrap-up and the Guys' take on “B markets”Guest BioEric Scheffer is a restaurateur and hospitality leader based in Asheville, North Carolina.

Doubt on wedding day can be quiet but crushing—the second-guessing after a tough call, the 2 a.m. mental replay, the nagging feeling that something's off even when the night goes "fine." That's what winging it feels like, even when you're good at what you do.In this episode, From Winging It to Owning It, Krisy Thomas, Senior Educator with The CWP Society, sits down with Master Certified Wedding Planners,   Nikki Rodgers and Brittney Poole, to unpack how they made the shift from reactive problem-solving to confident, visible leadership that vendors trust and couples feel.We get specific about what changed. Certification didn't just add letters after their names, it gave them usable frameworks: contracts that protect the work, pricing that reflects value, and timelines detailed enough to coordinate arrivals, handoffs, and contingencies without friction. They show how defined assistant roles expand your field of view, and why proactive vendor communication turns a list of services into a true team.The difference between winging it and owning it shows up in moments that matter, like a guest collapsing during dinner and the room staying composed because the plan, the roles, and the trust were already in place.We also confront the hidden cost of improvising your way through: undervaluing fees, fraying venue relationships, and fueling the misconception that planners are optional. Nikki and Brittney explain how identifying blind spots, package design, clause gaps, staffing standards, reduced anxiety and raised the quality bar. Their candor about perfectionism, pressure, and the physical toll of constant vigilance is matched by a clear path forward: build systems, practice them, and surround yourself with peers who share your standards.The community piece matters. Regular workshops, co-working sessions, and mentorship turned a solitary job into a supportive network that speeds decisions and sustains momentum.If you've felt that quiet tug that something's missing, this conversation hands you next steps to replace guesswork with clarity and calm, to stop winging it and start owning it.Subscribe, share with a planner friend who needs encouragement, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.

Healthy relationships don't thrive on chemistry alone they grow when both partners are committed to personal growth.In this episode of Coaching In Session, relationship and mindset coach Michael Rearden explores why personal development is the foundation of strong, lasting relationships. He explains how relationships stagnate when growth stops, why responsibility and communication matter more than intention, and how mutual support creates deeper emotional connection.Using powerful analogies like gardening and camping, Michael breaks down how nurturing yourself directly impacts the health of your relationship. When both partners show up fully, take ownership of their growth, and support each other's evolution, relationships don't just survive, they strengthen.If you're feeling disconnected, stuck, or unsure how to grow together instead of apart, this episode offers practical relationship coaching insights to help you build a partnership rooted in growth, communication, and shared commitment.
