As we round off our conversation, PJ addresses the significant topic of accessibility in the medium of pottery. She critiques the elitism often associated with art school education and shares her personal struggle to overcome art school-instilled biases in her ongoing journey to democratize the art of pottery.

Have you ever felt drained and exhausted after spending time with a certain person? In this episode, I discuss the concept of energy vampires. These toxic people can be friends, partners, or family. You'll leave this episode knowing how to set boundaries with people who drain your vitality and enthusiasm for life. This episode begins with defining the characteristics of toxic people. A toxic person has the tendency to take on a victim mentality, have traits of being self-centered, are filled with negativity (you can feel it), and they have a knack for making everything about themselves. Recognizing these traits within our inner-circles becomes crucial. Additionally, I shed light on the challenges of establishing boundaries with toxic family members, which has intricacies that can be challenging. The conversation delves further into the repercussions of toxic relationships. I emphasize how energy vampires employ manipulation and drain our optimism, leading to guilt and ultimately affecting our mental and physical well-being. Furthermore, we delve into why individuals find it challenging to remove toxic individuals from their lives. This can be due to strong family loyalty, history, guilt, and fear. In a future episode I will discuss codependence and how this can relate to keeping energy vampires in your life. The key takeaway from this episode centers on recognizing and addressing toxic relationships to safeguard our overall well-being. Although severing ties with toxic individuals might prove challenging, the long-term impact on our mental and physical health is profound. Prioritizing self-care and actively establishing boundaries can pave the way for positive transformations. And as I always say, life is too short not to be happy. Key Takeaways: Energy vampires are individuals who deplete our energy and enthusiasm, leaving us drained. Recognizing toxic people is imperative due to their victim mindset, self-centeredness, and negativity. Effectively addressing toxic relationships is essential for our mental and physical well-being. Having a Toxic person in your life leads to burnout. They be the one making it hard to pull out of early burnout which can lead to 3rd degree burnout.

Have you ever found yourself constantly drained by toxic relationships and overwhelmed by obligations? What if I told you there's a powerful tool to change this cycle? In this episode, I dive deep into the art of setting boundaries – a crucial skill that can transform your life. I share my insights as a certified coach, discussing why people often resist change and explaining the connection between boundaries and self-worth. I emphasize that we teach people how to treat us, and provide practical examples of how to communicate assertively, even in challenging situations. We explore the fear of disappointing others, the liberating power of saying "no," and the need to prioritize our own well-being. The essence of setting boundaries lies in understanding that we can't change others, only ourselves. People tend to resist change unless forced by a significant event. We need to teach others how to treat us by modeling self-respect. Assertiveness, can often be mistaken for aggressiveness, which is actually not true. A crucial aspect is to consider both our rights and the other person's rights when being assertive. Setting boundaries isn't about being selfish; it's about preserving our energy and mental health. Practicing the art of saying "no" and evaluating requests that life places on us daily, can lead to life-changing transformations. Boundaries are the essential foundation for balanced relationships and self-care. Learning to set boundaries involves becoming assertive and recognizing that disappointment from others is natural but manageable. The impact of setting boundaries can be profound, leading to healthier connections and a more fulfilling life. Key Takeaways: Boundaries teach others how to treat us and are essential for self-care. Saying "no" with grace and love can be transformative. Prioritize your time, delegate, and stop overcommitting to prevent burnout.

One of the kinds of cancer associated with breast implants is anaplastic large cell lymphoma (ALCL) which is a rare type of blood cancer. Textured implants have a very rough surface that was meant to help hold the implant in place, but it is supremely irritating to the tissues. This causes a T cell response which can ultimately lead to this lymphoma. There are studies regarding this condition as early as 2008. In fact, there's a study in the Netherlands that was conducted wherein patients had textured implants and they observed that there was a development of lymphoma. This was further supported by more diagnoses in the United States where cases of anaplastic large cell lymphoma were recorded yearly. There's a new entity called breast implant associated squamous cell carcinoma (BIA-SCC) which has been found as a very rare tumor that may appear in the capsule around the breast implants. There is limited data on this but medical organizations and institutions are pushing for increased clinical awareness and more evidence-based studies regarding this. From our previous episodes, we've talked about the correlation of inflammation and breast implant illness. Inflammation fundamentally and directly causes or triggers the development of these other cancers associated with breast implants. Are you on a journey to healing and wellness but unsure of where to turn? Look no further than Dr. Rob's Solutions. Textured implants are becoming a problem which is why many markets have stopped the production of textured devices. In Europe, the US and even other countries, they have already limited the usage of textured devices. The traditional way of using smooth round implants in performing breast augmentation remains to be the best recommendation. If you're overwhelmed or unsure in your journey to healing and wellness, look no further – Dr. Rob's Solutions is here. We fully understand the unique challenges that come with breast implant illness. We offer a wide range of products and services from the highest grade supplements to comprehensive lab testing to aid you in your journey to recovery. Our supplements are specially formulated to support detoxification while our medical grade skincare products are designed to nourish and protect the skin. We also offer comprehensive lab testing to help identify any underlying health issues that may be contributing to your symptoms. And for those who are ready and planning to undergo an explant surgery, we have the Holistic Accelerated Recovery Program (HARP) if you're interested. This will help you further understand how your unique body can accelerate and optimize healing. Don't let the uncertainty and confusion of breast implant illness hold you back any longer. Trust the experts at Dr. Rob's Solutions to provide you with the resources and support you need to take control of your health and wellness. How do we safely evaluate and monitor these patients as part of our practice? First things first, we look for any pre-existing conditions like autoimmune disorders or anything that would affect the immune system and aggravate the current condition of the individual. If someone has a pre-existing cancer condition, we have to closely look at that. But breast cancers are different from lymphomas and as of date, we haven't seen nor recorded any case of such. From my experience with lymphoma, it's safe to conclude that it's really necessary to provide intense care for the patient. Many devices have a rupture rate that increases over time but thankfully, the devices produced now have more longevity. We have to safely evaluate and monitor these patients. And as part of my oncology practice and cosmetic practice, I always encourage patients to do follow-up care involving regular medical checkups whether a few weeks or months after as a routine. If we needed ultrasound or whatever test was necessary, we'd use that to better characterize both the health of the patient and device. From a structural standpoint, we want to know that it's intact. And so, everything becomes challenging not just for the providers but also for the clients who want to have these procedures done for whatever purpose. Like what I always say, there has to be a clear discussion and review of relevant information such as their health history, their family's health history, and other potential correlations between the development of these cancers or breast cancer for that matter. Personally, I make use of functional genetics in crafting individualized plans for our patients and I suggest that we should leverage genetics whenever possible. And I hope that in the future, that is the way we'll be able to address and evaluate potential risks for these cancers developing in patients and put everybody in the best possible position for success.

In our season finale, we bring your attention to the coastal plain of the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge (ANWR), known to the Gwich'in Indian Nation as “The Sacred Place Where Life Begins.” Hear the personal story of Bernadette Demientieff, a Gwich'in Steering Committee leader fighting to protect her Nation's traditional lifeways. The Gwich'in Indian Nation lives in 15 small villages scattered across northeast Alaska in the US to the northern Yukon and Northwest Territories in Canada. The Arctic is their home. The coastal plain of the ANWR has been a location of intense controversy between environmentalists, Native tribes, and the oil and gas industry. The coastal plain is also the birthing and nursing grounds of the Porcupine Caribou Herd - the very heart of the Gwich'in people. The caribou provide food and nourishment for the Gwich'in who are deeply connected to them on a spiritual level. If oil drilling goes forward in ANWR, the birthrate of the caribou could decrease by 40% - it would be a cultural genocide for Bernadette's tribe. In 1988, the Gwich'in Steering Committee was formed in response to threats of oil development in ANWR's coastal plain. Time and time again, Bernadette has testified in front of US Congress, the United Nations, and public hearings. She has met with banks and insurance companies funding oil infrastructure, framing the drilling and desecration of sacred lands as a Human Rights issue. As the issue of oil extraction gains urgency in the US and around the world, more pressure is put on the oil-rich region of the Arctic. Key Themes explored: How does ANWR benefit or suffer from its designation as public lands? What tensions lie between extractive industries and those who call the Arctic their home? What are the intersections between climate justice and racial justice in the Gwich'ins' fight to protect their sacred lands? How does Indigenous spirituality inherently connect Native people to their land? How do Indigenous communities leverage the Rights of Nature to stop extractive practices?
