In this episode of Beyond Limits, Liv unpacks one of the biggest reasons entrepreneurs hit an income ceiling, and it's probably not what you think.If you've been working harder than ever, tweaking every strategy, staying up late perfecting your offers, and wondering why your income isn't growing alongside your effort, this episode is for you.Inside this episode:✨ The hidden reason your income may have reached a ceiling
Bestie, you've done the vision boards. You've said the affirmations, read the books, listened to the podcasts, and yeah, you've even called money in. One big one, one medium one. And then you watched it leave. The raise that somehow disappeared. The check that was gone before it ever felt real. And every single time, you made it mean something about you.Here's what nobody told you. Your money pattern doesn't live in your thoughts; it lives in your body. You have a financial set point, a number that feels like home, and the second you climb above it, your nervous system reads unfamiliar as danger and quietly drags you back down. You're not undisciplined. You're not bad with money. Your body is protecting you from a number it doesn't recognize, and in this episode, I'm naming exactly how that pattern got installed and why willpower has never once touched it.Episode Takeaways:Name the financial set point your body keeps dragging you back toUnderstand why budgeting, discipline, and mindset never reached the real patternSee the difference between calling money in and actually keeping itRecognize the survival responses that quietly repel the money you attractTrust that capacity is trainable, and a patterned nervous system can be re-patternedThe woman who takes this in stops blaming herself for a pattern she never chose. She stops bracing every time she opens her banking app. She stops calling money in just to watch it leave, because she is finally building the one thing nobody taught her: the capacity to hold it. You were never broken, babe. You were patterned. And patterns can be re-patterned.Rich & Regulated: 15 Days to Manifest Money & Keep It — live class starts June 28, 2026. $199.

Quick conversation on The Ravit Show from Boomi World 2026 with John Baker, CIO and CISO at Lexitas. One of the most grounded customer perspectives I have heard this year. Thanks for the amazing insights, John :)John was clear about why Lexitas refused to treat data management and agentic AI as separate projects, what his team stopped wasting time on after Boomi, and why agent governance is the part most enterprises underestimate. Agents are only predictable when the layer beneath them is.My takeaway. The architecture decision is the AI decision.#data #ai #BoomiWorld #theravitshow
That heavy feeling behind your sternum when your phone vibrates is not just “stress.” It is your nervous system firing a survival response that can quietly wreck your sleep, your judgment, and the one thing family court rewards most: steady, consistent regulation under pressure.We walk through a real story of a disciplined dad who did everything right on paper until one perfectly timed message pushed him into a short defensive reply. That single paragraph became courtroom evidence, while weeks of calm communication never made it onto the judge's desk. The takeaway is uncomfortable but freeing: legal tactics and co-parenting scripts collapse if they're powered by willpower alone. We explain the biology of amygdala hijack, why your prefrontal cortex goes offline, and why “just ignore it” is doomed in a high-conflict divorce and custody battle.Then we give you a practical playbook. Our rule is simple: center first, tend later. You'll learn a four-step physiological reset you can run in two to five minutes, including precise emotion naming, identifying the hijack, slow nasal box breathing to engage the vagus nerve, and a future-anchor question that produces court-defensible responses like gray rock or BIFF. We also connect this to parenting: your kids' mirror neurons read your internal state, so regulated calm is not a side project, it is the work. Being unprepared is how great fathers become weekend visitors. Most ground is lost quietly through "drift" and decisions made under pressure. Stop the drift today at TheDivorcedDadvocate.com.Access your tactical tools:Risk Assessment: Identify your "quiet loss" exposure in 10 minutes.Protection Session: Book a private triage to ensure mistakes don't become permanent.Your kids are counting on you.

In this episode of One Vision Podcast, Danny Friday, CEO and Founder of Sail, joins Theodora Lau to unpack why the "boring" corners of fintech — HSA and FSA accounts — are exactly where the next wave of meaningful innovation is hiding. Danny shares the origin story behind Sail: a claim over a Spanish-language dental receipt that exposed a deeper challenge about regulated industries: most of their software isn't broken by accident, it's broken by indifference to user experience. They dig into why no one had built itemized, embedded HSA/FSA infrastructure before now, what changed technically to make it possible, and why Danny insists AI should never make the hard calls. The conversation closes on a bigger bet: that within three to five years, every digital banking app will help people reimburse tax-advantaged expenses, and what that means for the industry.
In this episode of Girl, We Got This, I share a powerful lesson from a recent three-day print campaign in New York City that reminded me how important it is to protect your peace when chaos is unfolding around you. What started as a last-minute production change quickly turned into a stressful situation on set when wardrobe selections were rejected, tensions rose, and one person's overwhelm began affecting the entire room. Instead of absorbing the energy, I chose to stay grounded through simple rituals, nervous system regulation practices, gratitude, and conscious observation.We dive into what it means to stay emotionally regulated when others are dysregulated, how to stop taking on other people's stress, and why protecting your energy is one of the greatest forms of self-responsibility. This conversation explores emotional intelligence, nervous system health, personal boundaries, workplace dynamics, mindfulness, self-awareness, and leadership through presence. If you've ever struggled with absorbing other people's moods, managing difficult personalities, or staying calm under pressure, this episode will remind you that someone else's overwhelm does not have to become your reality.In This Episode:Nervous system regulation tools that work in real lifeHow to protect your energy in stressful environmentsEmotional regulation and emotional intelligenceWorkplace stress, conflict, and difficult personalitiesThe difference between observing and absorbingWhy your mood impacts everyone around youAccountability, self-awareness, and personal responsibilityCreating peace in chaotic situationsTimestamps00:00 NYC Check-In00:13 Knicks and Brunson Tease00:43 Set Week Setup03:33 Styling Chaos Begins04:55 Dysregulation Spreads08:12 Protect Your Light11:11 Let People Be12:36 Bigger Than The Set15:30 Regulation Is Responsibility18:00 Closing Love
In this episode of Beyond Limits, Liv challenges one of the biggest misconceptions in the personal growth space: that nervous system regulation is the end goal.While regulation helps bring the body back to safety after stress, it isn't the same as expanding your capacity. If you're constantly calming yourself down every time you reach an edge, you may be unintentionally reinforcing the very limits you're trying to break through.Liv explores the difference between regulation and recalibration, why the nervous system naturally resists unfamiliar levels of success, and what it truly takes to expand your capacity for more money, visibility, love, opportunity, and fulfillment.If you've ever felt like you're doing all the mindset work, breathwork, journaling, and somatic practices but still find yourself hitting the same ceiling, this episode will completely shift the way you think about nervous system work.Inside this episode:✨ The difference between nervous system regulation and recalibration
You keep treating fear like a stop sign. Something got hard, something fell apart, and you read it as proof that you should stay exactly where you are. But that down-and-out chapter, the one you might be sitting in right this second, was never the place you were meant to stay. It was the doorway. And you've been standing in front of it, convinced it's a wall.Here's what's actually happening, babe. You're loyal to the version of you that never got a good shake at life. The devil you know feels safer than the future version of you that you haven't met yet, so you stay in the belief loop where good things happen, bad things happen, and all you're doing is surviving until the next paycheck. That's not your fault. But now that you've heard this, staying there is a choice.Episode Takeaways:Recognize that every down season was a portal for the next come up, not a punishmentReframe fear as your highest self pointing the way forward instead of a reason to stopUnderstand that you can only receive what you've healed, which is why the next level still feels out of reachStop being loyal to the broken down, middle of the road version of you that you're so in love withTalk to your body, your money, and your life like the biggest version of you is already in the roomThe woman who takes this in stops waiting to be rescued from her own life. She takes every brick that got thrown at her and builds the mansion. She stops co-collaborating with fear and starts creating with the Creator, and she finally meets the magnetic, wealthy, healthy, adored version of herself who has been sitting in the same timeline this whole time saying, tap me in.Rich & Regulated: 15 Days to Manifest Money & Keep It — live class starts June 28, 2026. $199.

Marty breaks down his week — from demoing Agree at Intercom to a poker night at Bessemer — and what the energy on the ground said about where New York's tech scene is heading.

In this episode of Regulated & Relational Tracy, Ginger, and Julie come together to mark a significant transition for the Attachment & Trauma Network: the retirement of longtime Executive Director, Julie Beem. Using this moment of change as a springboard, our hosts explore important elements of transition, both positive and negative, and the impact transition has on our bodies, our minds, and how we respond to and go about our daily lives. Through both professional insight and vulnerable personal stories Tracy, Ginger, and Julie unpack what it means to navigate change in a trauma-informed, attachment-focused way—for ourselves and for the children in our lives.Ginger Healy's current children's book, Stronger Together and other books authored by Ginger can be found: Ginger Healy publications website https://gingerhealy.com/publications Bookshop.org https://tinyurl.com/y8hcfscu

In this raw, off-the-cuff solo episode, Liv explores the invisible ceilings that keep women playing smaller than they're meant to. She unpacks why the biggest limitations in your life are rarely external, how your nervous system determines what feels safe to receive, and what it takes to stop living beneath your true potential.Inside this episode:✨ The hidden ceilings keeping you stuckWhy the biggest limitations in your life are often the ones you don't realize you've created

Burn Fat While You Sleep, Boost Metabolism & Fast the Smart Way with guest expert Dr. William Li #64What if everything you've been told about metabolism, fat, and weight loss is wrong? In this episode, Samantha sits down with Dr. William Li for a second conversation in season 2 (Check out Episode #62, if you missed it - and Season 1 Episode #14 as well!).Dr. Li dismantles everything you thought you knew about metabolism, visceral fat, and intermittent fasting — revealing the science-backed strategies that let your body burn dangerous fat while you sleep, eat, and live your life.Dr. Li is an internationally renowned physician-scientist, president of the Angiogenesis Foundation, and New York Times bestselling author of Eat to Beat Your Diet — to expose the myths that have kept so many women stuck in a cycle of dieting, frustration, and self-blame.Spoiler: your metabolism is not broken. It never was.From the newly discovered science proving that human metabolism stays rock-stable from age 20 to 60, to the hidden danger of "skinny fat" and its shocking link to breast cancer, to the brilliantly simple 12-hour fasting protocol Dr. Li himself follows every day — this episode is a masterclass in working with your body instead of against it. Plus, the true origin story of the famous 16:8 intermittent fasting method that no one is talking about.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:Your metabolism is NOT slowing down: Learn the findings from a landmark study of 6,000 people that completely rewrites what we thought we knew about metabolism — and where the real culprit actually lives.Fat is a hormone-producing organ: Discover why healthy fat is essential to your metabolic function, and what happens to your hormones when it starts to grow out of control.Excess fat behaves like a tumor: Find out why Dr. Li says too much body fat follows the same dangerous playbook as cancer — and why that makes chronic inflammation so much more urgent to address.Skinny fat is a real and serious risk: Learn what a 13-year Cornell study found when it scanned nearly 3,500 normal-weight women — and why the results are a wake-up call for women who think they're in the clear.Foods that burn fat at the cellular level: Discover which everyday grocery store foods contain natural bioactives that work against fat growth — and how they do it without you changing everything on your plate.The tape measure test: Find out why your waistline tells a more accurate story about your health than your BMI, your scale, or your body size — and how to use it at home for free.Why 12 hours of fasting is enough: Learn the surprisingly achievable protocol Dr. Li follows himself every single day — and why the research says you don't need to go longer to see real results.The truth about 16:8: Discover the origin story of the most popular intermittent fasting method — and why its famous time window has almost nothing to do with human science.Insulin is the metabolic switch: Understand the simple biological reason your body burns fat while you sleep — and how the timing of your last meal determines how hard it works overnight.Ultra-lean is not ultra-safe: Find out why the medical literature puts extreme leanness in the same dangerous category as extreme obesity — and what that means for how we define a healthy goal.About Our GuestDr. William Li is an internationally renowned physician, scientist, researcher, and author whose work has impacted over 70 diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. He is the founder and president of the Angiogenesis Foundation and is best known for his groundbreaking TED Talk, Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?, which has been viewed by millions worldwide. He is the New York Times bestselling author of Eat to Beat Disease and Eat to Beat Your Diet: Burn Fat, Heal Your Metabolism, and Live Longer.
You keep asking money to tell you who you are. Whether you're safe. Whether you're successful. Whether you're lovable, whether you're worthy, whether you're finally enough. And then you wonder why you wake up exhausted. Money can buy you a mattress, but it was never going to buy you peace, and somewhere along the way you started treating a tool like a god.Here's the part that stings. You're not creating from your bank account. You're creating from your identity account. The beliefs running your money story got installed before you even knew what a mortgage was, back when your nervous system was just taking notes on how the adults around you treated abundance. Those notes became your reality, and now your brain spends every day hunting for proof that the story is true. This episode is where I call that out and show you what actually changes when you stop worshiping the number.Episode Takeaways:Recognize the difference between using money and worshiping itName the money beliefs your nervous system absorbed before you could understand themUnderstand why misery at $10 follows you straight to $10 millionShift from asking how to get more money to asking who already feels safeSee your money story as a filter your brain keeps confirming on purposeThe version of you who is actually wealthy is not staring at a spreadsheet or refreshing the bank app. She's creating. She's laughing, building something true, trusting herself. When you stop asking money to validate you and start using it like the tool it is, you stop running the obstacle course of stress and start living like someone who already knows she's worthy. That is the shift. And it starts the moment you decide you're done being loyal to the version of you that stays stuck.Mentioned in the episode:Rich & Regulated: 15 Days to Manifest Money & Keep It — live class starts June 28, 2026. $199.

In this raw, off-the-cuff solo episode, Liv explores the hidden ceilings that keep women playing smaller than they're meant to. She unpacks why success alone doesn't create fulfillment, how self-concept shapes every result in your life, and why awe and wonder may be the missing ingredients in your next level of expansion.This conversation is an invitation to stop optimizing the external and start expanding internally.Inside this episode:✨ Why success can still feel emptyThe surprising reason achievement doesn't always create aliveness
In Part 1, we broke down the framework of emotional regulation. In Part 2, we stop talking theory and step directly into real life. Join hosts Mr. Roosevelt Rozaay Butler and Mr. Langley Shazor as they pull back the curtain on the actual, high-stakes situations they've navigated in real time. From balancing the beautiful chaos of family leadership to managing the intense pressures of entrepreneurship, today is about decoding the true stimulus behind our triggers. We dive deep into: The High-Volume Threshold: How to protect the energy of your household when professional and personal worlds collide. Tracing the Root: Why small, everyday inconveniences often point to a much deeper story about control and stability. The Power of the Repair: Why delivering a clean, unconditional apology to your child or partner isn't a sign of weakness—it's how you break generational trauma and secure your family legacy. This isn't theoretical. This is the raw blueprint for moving from reactive pressure to regulated presence.

In this episode of Regulated & Relational, Tracy and Ginger welcome Dr. Lisa A. Riegel—nationally recognized educator, researcher, founder of the Educational Partnerships Institute, and author of the book NeuroWell. Together, they explore why skills like emotional regulation, connection, and self-awareness are not “soft” at all, but essential to learning, wellbeing, and long-term success.Dr. Riegel emphasizes that meaningful change doesn't happen at the classroom level alone—it requires alignment across entire systems.

Okay okay, time to sit down and talk about one of the biggest misconceptions everrrr when it comes to money and security. Soo many ambitious women spend years & years of their lives building wealth, businesses, careers, and lives that look incredible from the outside — yet internally still feel anxious, restless, overwhelmed, and unable to truly relax, receive and recharge guilt-free.In today's episode, we're exploring the hidden cost of high achievement, why financial success alone doesn't create emotional security like most people assume, the underlying nervous system patterns that are silently driving overachievement, where the abundance conversation has become performative, and the most common subconscious fears that cause women to self-sabotage right before their next level.If you've ever felt exhausted while crushing it, struggled to slow down without guilt, or have ever found yourself constantly chasing the next milestone without feeling truly fulfilled, this conversation is for you.So babe, grab your matcha, get cozy, and let's dive in.—In this episode, I discuss:02:45 - Why financial success alone often fails to create emotional security06:05 - Emotional safety vs. financial success – and why they don't correlate08:53 - The connection between money & men (hint: masculine energy)12:10 - The illusion of security we gain through achievement (& why it's empty)18:10 - The role of money when it comes to emotional and mental well-being21:02 - Why I started redefining success beyond numbers25:38 - Rewiring relationships & self-concept aka identity32:02 - The cost of overfunctioning and self-sacrifice39:06 - Manifestation beyond aesthetics & affirmations 49:19 - Creating inner safety in success and abundance—Key Takeaways:Some women are rich in money and broke in their nervous system capacity (I can fix that ;))Achievement can create temporary emotional relief, but it cannot create lasting inner safetyIf your worth is tied to productivity, success will neverrrrrrr feel like enoughMoney amplifies what is already present within youA dysregulated nervous system will sabotage success faster than a lack of strategyManifestation is not about acting as if — it's about becoming the woman who can safely hold what she desiresExpansion often triggers subconscious fears around visibility, relationships, responsibility, and receivingThe goal is not just to become successful — it's to feel safe enough to fully enjoy the life you've created—Similar episodes: Ep 160: The hidden cost of being a 'bossbabe' - and the #1 lie women are told about Feminine Energy Ep 157: The Art of Self-Mastery: What it really takes to thrive in life, love, leadership & wealthEP 164: How to be 'that girl' who always gets what she wants - fusing 'IT girl' x 'magnetic queen' energy—Connect with Laura: Laura's Website: https://www.lauraherde.com/Laura's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/laura.herde/Laura's 1-1 Coaching: https://www.lauraherde.com/application-1-1Laura's Coaching Certification Course: https://www.instagram.com/embodiedcoachacademy/>> EMAIL ME TO CONNECT/ FOR QUESTIONS: hello@lauraherde.com>> FOLLOW ME ON INSTAGRAM FOR MORE CONTENT: @laura.herde Feel free to share this episode with your bestie, and tag us on IG when you listen so we can repost you.If you're a loyal listener and would like to support the show, leave us a rating/ review, it means the world!Make sure to be subscribed to UNFUCK YOUR LIFE, we publish episodes for you every single Tuesday.Thank you so much for tuning in, love xx
Coffee Helpful or Harmful + Soy & Alcohol and the Truth About Breast Cancer with guest expert Dr. William Li #62What if the habits you already have — your morning coffee, your soy latte, your occasional glass of wine — are actually working for you, not against you? In this episode, Samantha sits down once again with William Li, MD, internationally renowned physician, scientist, and New York Times bestselling author of Eat to Beat Disease and Eat to Beat Your Diet, to cut through decades of nutritional myths and replace fear with facts.From the cancer-fighting compound hiding in your espresso, to the truth about soy and breast cancer risk that 14 published studies now confirm, to what your "healthy" stevia packet may secretly contain — Dr. Li delivers the kind of science-backed clarity that changes how you shop, eat, and think about food as medicine every single day. This is one of those episodes you'll want to share with every woman you love.What You'll LearnThe chlorogenic acid triple-threat: How the natural compound in coffee simultaneously lowers inflammation, activates brown fat to burn visceral fat, AND cuts off the blood supply to cancer cells.Organic coffee is more potent: Why pesticide-free farming causes the coffee plant to produce more chlorogenic acid — meaning organic beans are literally more medicinal.The dairy-in-coffee trap: How dairy fat forms "soap bubbles" around chlorogenic acid, blocking up to 20–30% of its absorption in your gut.Cellular aging and telomeres: How chlorogenic acid has been shown to slow the shortening of telomeres — the protective caps on your DNA — keeping your tissues and organs more vital, longer.The 1–4 cup sweet spot: What the clinical and epidemiological research says about optimal daily coffee intake and how not to get paralyzed by the math.The stevia label scandal: Why a "pure stevia" label can be deceiving — and how the filler erythritol, often hidden inside, has been linked by cardiologists to increased heart attack risk.Soy is nature's tamoxifen: How soy's phytoestrogen (genistein) has a completely different molecular structure than human estrogen — and actually blocks estrogen receptors the same way the breast cancer drug tamoxifen does.14 JAMA-level studies, one conclusion: Every single study examining soy consumption in women at high breast cancer risk found improved survival rates and lower recurrence — with no study showing increased mortality.The 10-gram soy protein target: How one tall glass of soy milk or a small portion of tofu delivers the daily amount studied in clinical trials for breast protection.Emulsifiers and your gut microbiome: Why additives like carrageenan, guar gum, and polysorbate in commercial coffee drinks and plant milks silently alter the healthy bacteria in your gut, raising systemic inflammation.About Our GuestDr. William Li is an internationally renowned physician, scientist, researcher, and author whose work has impacted over 70 diseases, including cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. He is the founder and president of the Angiogenesis Foundation and is best known for his groundbreaking TED Talk, Can We Eat to Starve Cancer?, which has been viewed by millions worldwide.

Tonight's conversation walks straight into a relational nerve most people would rather medicate with gender slogans, therapy language, or moral superiority: what happens when a man becomes happy without needing a woman to authorize, regulate, rescue, validate, inspire, approve, or emotionally complete that happiness? Alison Armstrong's provocation does not merely ask whether women “attack happy men.” That phrasing gives the room something to argue about. The deeper wound asks whether some women feel unconsciously displaced when male happiness no longer orbits around female emotional centrality. If his striving once proved devotion, if his need once confirmed her importance, if his instability once gave her a role, if his pursuit once made the relationship feel alive, then his peace may not register as health. It may register as loss of influence, loss of necessity, loss of proof. This is not an indictment of women. It is an indictment of unconscious dependency contracts hiding inside intimacy. Men do it too. Parents do it. Lovers do it. Communities do it. Entire cultures train people to confuse being needed with being loved. But tonight we place the spotlight where the clip places it: on the possibility that certain women may unconsciously experience a self-sourced man as less reachable, less governable, less emotionally available, or less relationally useful precisely because he no longer needs suffering to prove connection. The psychological question becomes brutal: do we love people, or do we love the role their incompleteness gives us? The spiritual question cuts deeper: can love survive when it no longer feeds the ego's need to matter? And the cultural question may disturb everybody: if modern intimacy has been built on pursuit, proof, emotional labor, and mutual insecurity, what happens when one person finally becomes free? That is tonight's investigation: when happiness stops needing permission, who loses power? Allison's Bio: Alison Armstrong is a relationship educator and workshop facilitator who studies relationship patterns between men and women through observation and lived experience—not through clinical psychology or psychiatry. She does not present herself as a psychologist, therapist, neuroscientist, or academic researcher. Her work focuses on how men and women often misinterpret each other's emotional signals, communication styles, and expressions of connection. Her perspective is phenomenological and experiential rather than clinical doctrine.
Dave connects with Jenna Free, author of A Simple Guide to ADHD Regulation, to dismantle the misconception that thriving with neurodivergence requires endless lifestyle hacks. Instead, they dive deep into the power of nervous system regulation and why busy professionals, entrepreneurs, and CEOs frequently find themselves trapped in a frantic cycle of high performance followed by complete shutdown. Jenna highlights how prolonged states of fight-or-flight mimic and intensify ADHD symptoms. She offers a sustainable path to step out of survival mode and provides actionable advice on thriving with adult ADHD. How adults with ADHD can embrace emotional regulation: The Vicious Cycle: Operating in a frantic, rushing state can feel highly productive but inevitably leads to stress, overwhelming burnout and in some cases physical shutdown. The Mechanics of Dysregulation: When stress tricks the nervous system into perceiving routine business challenges as life-threatening, blood physically leaves the brain for the limbs, crippling executive dysfunction and creative focus. The "In-the-Moment" Regulation Strategy: True regulation isn't about avoiding stress or taking constant breaks. It involves interrupting dysregulation in real-time by slowing your physical pace and breathing without abandoning the task at hand. Unpacking Core Beliefs: Common narrative traps, such as feeling constantly "behind" or believing rest must be earned, keep the nervous system stuck in a permanent, defensive tug-of-war.

In this episode, we are joined by Shelly Antoniewicz, Chief Economist at the Investment Company Institute (ICI), for a data-rich exploration of the modern fund industry. Shelly walks us through the staggering scale of global regulated funds, how ETFs and mutual funds shape capital allocation, and why the rise of indexing may not be as disruptive as critics fear.

It is getting hot in California, which has us thinking about the massive carbon footprint of healthcare. The emergency department is famously resource-heavy, but can we save lives and reduce waste? Dr. David Barnes joins us to explain how going green isn’t just about being a “tree hugger”—it's about saving money, cutting waste, and making our hospitals resilient against supply chain chaos. Defining Healthcare Sustainability Balancing Safety and Footprint: Sustainability in healthcare means delivering efficient, affordable care that minimizes resource waste while remaining clinically safe and meaningful. The Power of Resiliency: A sustainable healthcare system is inherently a resilient one. Reducing reliance on single-use items and utilizing local renewable energy sources (like microgrids) protects hospitals from supply chain disruptions caused by geopolitical conflicts or weather-driven power grid failures. The Three Scopes of Emissions Scope 1 (Direct): Emissions directly produced by hospital operations, such as idling fleet vehicles and leaking anesthetic gases. Scope 2 (Indirect): Purchased energy used to power and heat the facilities (e.g., local electricity and steam lines). Scope 3 (Supply Chain): The largest bucket, making up 60% to 80% of healthcare emissions. This includes employee commutes, medical waste incineration, manufacturing of disposable devices, and food production. Clinical Traps: Where We Waste the Most Pre-packaged Kits: Studies show 75% to 80% of items inside specialized kits (like central lines) go completely unused and are thrown away. Over-Preparation: Opening multiple single-use items (like various ET tube sizes) or donning full trauma PPE for minor injuries creates an immediate, unnecessary trash stream. Pharmaceutical Waste: Standard packaging size leads to heavy drug wasting (e.g., using 5 mL from a 100 mL propofol bottle). This regulated medical waste is costly and energy-intensive to incinerate. The Glove Epidemic: Glove overuse skyrocketed during COVID-19 and became a habit. Most routine encounters carry no contamination risk, making glove use clinically unnecessary. Shifting the Culture “Take What You Need, Leave What You Don’t”: Avoid opening supplies you may not need or bringing extra gauze or syringes into a room. Due to infection safety protocols, these often end up in the trash. Watch Where You Toss: Keep coffee cups and paper out of the red biohazard bins. Regulated medical waste costs six times more to process and must be incinerated, creating massive greenhouse gas emissions. Embrace Reprocessing & Reusables: Support partnerships with companies that safely clean and reuse devices historically labeled “single-use” (like EKG leads or waffle mattresses). Swap disposable plastic gowns for reusable cloth gowns that survive 90 washes. Model the Behavior: Culture change takes patience and persistence. Instead of finger-wagging or shaming colleagues, visibly adopt sustainable habits to drive grassroots practice changes. Key Takeaways for the ED Clinician Speak up on bad design: Clinicians are on the front lines of waste. Advocate for local sustainability initiatives to grab the attention of hospital executives who handle major purchasing contracts. Normalize virtual alternatives: Protect staff well-being and slash commuting emissions by offering Zoom or Teams options for short, solitary administrative meetings. Keep it in perspective: Healthcare sustainability is about finding the sweet spot where clinical safety, resource utilization, and environmental impact meet. Hosts: Dr. Julia Magaña, Professor of Pediatric Emergency Medicine at UC Davis Dr. Sarah Medeiros, Professor of Emergency Medicine at UC Davis Guest: Dr. David Barnes, Professor of Emergency Medicine, Director of ED Sustainability, and Member of the Sustainability Committee at UC Davis Health Resources: Practice Greenhealth Health Care Without Harm Green ED (Royal College of Emergency Medicine) *** Thank you to the UC Davis Department of Emergency Medicine for supporting this podcast and to Orlando Magaña at OM Productions for audio production services.

By Doug Green “Many companies don't even realize they're out of compliance until someone takes a close look at how customer interactions are actually being handled,” said Todd Chisholm, president of IFT Solutions. In a recent Technology Reseller News podcast, I spoke with Todd Chisholm, president of IFT Solutions, about the company's new IFT Fortitude program and why MSPs have an opportunity to bring compliance-focused customer service assessments to business clients in regulated industries. IFT Solutions operates as a business process outsourcing company, providing services that range from customer service and collections to front-end sales support. The company also brings a consulting practice to the table, helping organizations assess whether their customer-facing operations, whether handled internally or outsourced, are meeting compliance expectations in an increasingly complex regulatory environment. That consulting expertise is now being packaged into IFT Fortitude, a program designed to let MSPs offer a white-labeled compliance assessment to their end-user customers. The goal is to help businesses determine whether their in-house or outsourced customer service teams are adhering to data privacy and other regulatory requirements. The timing makes sense. MSPs are increasingly serving customers in verticals where compliance is not optional, yet many of those customers may not realize how exposed they are. A company might have solid intentions and good people in place, but still fall short because processes have evolved unevenly, vendors have changed, or customer interactions are not being reviewed through a compliance lens. In many cases, risk builds quietly in day-to-day operations until an audit, complaint, or incident reveals the gap. Chisholm explained that this is where the MSP can provide more than technology support. By working with IFT, partners can bring a practical assessment service into customer accounts and help identify weaknesses before they become business problems. That creates a new advisory conversation for the MSP while addressing a real operational need for the customer. The Fortitude program is especially relevant in markets where customer communications are tightly tied to privacy, documentation, and process controls. Financial services is an obvious fit, but the broader opportunity extends to any organization handling sensitive customer information or operating in a regulated environment. Healthcare, insurance, and other service-intensive verticals are also likely candidates. For partners, the program offers a way to add value without having to build a compliance practice from scratch. IFT provides the assessment framework and expertise, while the MSP can position the service under its own brand and bring it to existing customers as part of a broader trusted advisor relationship. The larger message from the conversation is that compliance is becoming a business operations issue as much as a legal or technical one. Customer service processes, scripts, escalation paths, and outsourced workflows all matter. MSPs that help customers see that more clearly may find a strong opening for new services and deeper client engagement. For channel partners looking to expand beyond traditional IT support, IFT Fortitude points to a useful direction: practical, white-labeled services that help customers reduce risk while strengthening the MSP's role in the account.

There was a time when hunting required no permission. If you could reach the marsh, you could hunt it. In this episode, we explore how that changed—and why. As waterfowl populations collapsed in the late 1800s, states began asking a new question: who owns the wildlife? What followed was the birth of the hunting license—an idea that sparked resistance, challenged tradition, and reshaped the future of hunting. From early pushback in places like Minnesota to the enforcement era, the Lacey Act, and the rise of hunter-funded conservation, this is the story of how conflict turned into stewardship. Because the hunting license didn't start as conservation—it started as confrontation. And today, it represents something bigger: The shift from taking what you can… to protecting what remains.

Anxiety and leadership often go hand in hand, whether a mom, an entrepreneur, or a corporate executive. If you are a leader, you have most likely experienced the fact that anxiety and leadership go hand-in-hand. The Dual Leadership Model™ is designed to help Christian women leaders and others break through anxiety-driven behaviors to lead with calm, confidence, and consistency. Christian Women Leaders You are capable. Driven. Accomplished. You lead a team, run a business, raise a family, or do all three at once. People look to you. You show up. You deliver. And yet, something feels off. Do you find yourself snapping at the people closest to you and then feeling a wave of shame? Maybe you lie awake running through every decision you made that day, wondering if you did enough. Perhaps you say yes when every part of you wants to say no — and then resent it later. Are you are exhausted in a way that sleep does not fix. Here is what no one is telling you: it is not a time management problem. It is not a discipline problem. And it is not a character flaw. It is a loop. And you have been stuck in it longer than you know. High-Achiever Celebration of Anxiety and Leadership What Is the Dual Leadership Loop Model™? The Dual Leadership Loop Model™ is built on a simple but profound truth: at any given moment, you are leading from one of two loops. Loop One: The Anxiety Response Loop The anxiety-driven behaviors at the center of the anxiety response loop: Perfectionism People-pleasing Need for control Defensiveness and overreacting Avoidance Imposter syndrome Comparison Loop Two: The Calm, Confident, and Consistent Leadership Loop The Calm, Confident, Consistent Leadership Loop produces: Clarity and confidence Steady, consistent decision-making Healthy, honest relationships Resilience without rigidity Sustainable growth without burnout The kind of leadership others want to follow The Neuroscience Behind the Anxiety Response Loop The Combination of Neuroscience and Faith For those of us who follow Christ, there is a layer to this that goes deeper than neuroscience. Five Shifts That Will Change How You Lead Anxiety-driven behaviors are your nervous system's way of trying to protect you. They are not character flaws — they are survival adaptations. You are not flawed. Anxiety is biological — not a personal failure. You did not choose it, but you can learn to work with it. Anxiety does not define you. Your identity is not your nervous system response. You are not stuck. You can choose a different response right now. Striving is not sustainable. Regulated leadership is. What to Expect in This Series Over the next six episodes, we are going to walk through each anxiety-driven behavior in the loop — people-pleasing, perfectionism, need for control, imposter syndrome, comparison, defensiveness, and avoidance. We will explore where each one comes from, what it is costing you, what the research says, and most importantly, how to move out of it. This is not a series about trying harder. It is a series about leading differently, better, and safer. Your Next Step as Christian Women Leaders Before the next episode, I want you to do one thing: pay attention and notice what is happening for you.

Why Does It Have To Be Hard?The Belief That's Quietly Sabotaging Your HealthThe Thrive Forever Fit Show with Jay NixonWhy do you assume this has to be hard?Why do we automatically believe that if we don't fully understand something yet, it must be difficult?If we're not masters at it yet, it must be overwhelming?In this episode, Jay breaks down one of the most limiting beliefs holding people back from real health transformation: the assumption that growth has to feel hard.And the truth might surprise you.Most of what you call “hard” is simply unfamiliar.Hard vs. UnfamiliarThe first time you stepped into a gym felt hard.The first time you changed your nutrition felt hard.The first time you looked at bloodwork felt complicated.Not because it was impossible.Because it was new.When something is unfamiliar, your nervous system activates. Your breathing shifts. Your heart rate increases. Your thoughts speed up.If you don't regulate that response, your brain labels the experience as threat.And once something feels like a threat, your instinct is to avoid it.That's where most people quit.Not because they couldn't succeed.Because it felt unsafe.The Emotional Regulation AdvantageThis episode dives into emotional regulation as an elevated strategy for long-term health success.When you can stay regulated inside discomfort, you stop labeling growth as danger.You stop dramatizing change.You stop making the unfamiliar heavier than it needs to be.And that changes everything.Because this isn't just mindset.It's physiology.The Metabolic ConnectionWhen you repeatedly interpret growth as threat:• Cortisol rises• Blood sugar rises• Sleep quality drops• Recovery declines• Decision-making weakensBraced bodies do not adapt efficiently.Regulated bodies do.The belief that “this is hard” can become a self-fulfilling loop that keeps you stuck metabolically, emotionally, and behaviorally.The Shift That Changes EverythingInstead of asking:“Why is this so hard?”Start asking:“Is this actually hard… or is this just new?”That question creates space.And space allows regulation.Regulation creates clarity.Clarity builds momentum.Momentum builds mastery.Why This MattersThe Thrive Forever Fit approach isn't about making your life harder.It's about helping you stay steady inside growth.When your nervous system is regulated:• You don't panic over scale fluctuations• You don't spiral over setbacks• You don't quit when things feel unfamiliar• You maintain equilibriumAnd equilibrium is power.The Core TakeawayMost of what you call hard is simply unfamiliar.Most of what feels overwhelming is your nervous system asking for regulation.The moment you stop interpreting growth as danger, you stop making your health journey heavier than it needs to be.And that's when real transformation begins.Because you didn't change the challenge.You changed your response to it.And that changes everything.
Daily Shift 147: You can't pour from a regulated nervous system you don't have Everyone's heard "you can't pour from an empty cup." But what happens when the cup itself is broken? In today's episode, Celeste takes that idea deeper — into your nervous system. Because it's not just about being full. It's about being regulated. And if your system is dysregulated, no amount of rest or self-care will stick until you address what's underneath. If you keep trying to take care of everyone else while running on fumes, this one will change how you think about it. Today's shift: Do one regulation practice before you give anything to anyone today.
