This is Part 2 of a special 2-part series on competition and product overlap in indie retail. Once you've processed the emotions behind a “copycat” moment, what comes next?  In this episode, I walk you through my CLEAR framework for grounding yourself, then share three common paths store owners take when a competitor feels too close for comfort: focusing inward, protecting their turf, or collaborating with caution.  You'll hear the benefits and trade-offs of each, my personal stance, and a mic-drop truth I've learned after years of studying independent retailers.

IVF Failed: A Fertility Doctor's Thoughts About What Comes Next When IVF fails, both patients and doctors are left asking, “What now?” In this conversation, infertility and life coach Lana Manikowski and fertility doctor Erica Bove, MD, explore what patients wish doctors understood after failed IVF, what doctors feel but rarely say, and how to create support and meaning after infertility. When IVF failed, you were not just handed a result. You were handed decisions with very little support. If you have ever left a fertility clinic wondering whether your fertility doctor truly saw your pain or what to do next, this episode will help you feel seen while considering the language to ask for the support you need. In this conversation, I am joined by Erica Bove, MD, a double board certified OB GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist at the University of Vermont. She is also the CEO and founder of Love and Science: Thriving Through Infertility. Dr. Bove has experienced both sides of treatment as a fertility doctor and as a fertility patient. Together, we explore what women wish their doctors understood after a failed IVF cycle, what doctors wish their patients knew, and how to create continuity of care when treatment ends without a baby. In this episode, you will learn: How both patients and doctors grieve when IVF does not work and why compassion on both sides matters. The post fertility treatment support you told me you needed most such as exit appointments, follow-up calls, therapy or coaching referrals, peer connection, and resources for life without children. Why many fertility doctors are not trained to deliver difficult news and how clinics can improve communication. How Dr. Bove coaches physicians through their own fertility journeys to help them practice with more empathy and confidence. Ways to redefine meaning and success after infertility so you can create a fulfilling life even if you are childless after infertility. This episode is for you if: You have finished fertility treatment without a baby and are unsure what comes next. You want to feel acknowledged and supported by your fertility doctor and your clinic. You are ready for community and guidance for life after infertility. You are a fertility professional who wants to better understand the patient experience after failed IVF. About Dr. Erica Bove Erica Bove, MD, is a double board-certified OB-GYN and Reproductive Endocrinologist (REI) at the University of Vermont. She is also the CEO and founder of Love and Science: Thriving Through Infertility. Dr. Bove combines an evidence-based approach with intuitive knowing in the context of a trusting relationship.

We focus on the ripple effects: Will the industry consolidate into a few giants? How will Zillow, Rocket, and Homes.com respond?

The Rams look to bounce back in Week 6 as they head to Baltimore to face a banged-up Ravens squad that could be without Lamar Jackson. After a frustrating loss to the short-handed 49ers, Matthew Stafford and Puka Nacua aim to get the offense rolling again while Sean McVay's team cleans up costly turnovers and special-teams mistakes. Tyler Dragon and Erin Coscarelli break down how L.A. can capitalize on Baltimore's injuries, protect Stafford, and get back in the win column before their overseas trip to London.

The Industry Relations Podcast is now available on your favorite podcast player! This special crossover episode brings together James and Keith from Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered with Rob and Greg from Industry Relations. The group dives into Compass' planned acquisition of Anywhere, debating what it means for brokerages, portals, and the future of private listings in residential real estate. Key Takeaways Collaboration between Industry Relations and Real Estate Insiders Unfiltered. Compass' acquisition of Anywhere could reshape brokerage structure—if executed successfully. Breakage risk: agent retention is critical to Compass handling its debt load. Debate over Anywhere's role: “king” of brokerages or not? Zillow remains the dominant power. Zillow's potential responses range from lobbying to starting a brokerage/franchise. Private listings could trigger an “arms race,” though consumer tolerance is debated. Rocket's acquisitions (Redfin, Mr. Cooper) highlight end-to-end strategies but raise adoption questions. Large-scale consolidation could increase influence over associations and MLSs.   Links Rob's Article on 5 Things Zillow can do Brian Boero's agent count article   Connect with Rob and Greg Rob's Website  Greg's Website    Watch us on YouTube   Our Sponsors: Cotality  Notorious VIP The Giant Steps Job Board    Production and Editing Services by Sunbound Studios

Blake Ruffino shares his thoughts on the LSU Offense and talks about the response that they may have coming out of the Bye week. Will LSU offensively be simpler in their rotation offensively. Blake asks LSU Head Coach Brian Kelly that exact question. With the LSU run game being what it is, is it time to find some things new to be able to move the football more consistently? Also, will we see LSU Freshman OL Carius Curne moved to guard and can he give them a spark that this team is desperately looking for? Lastly, what was seen from LSU Backup QB Michael Van Buren Jr. and if the offense continues to struggle, will Brian Kelly and company make a move to try to find a spark offensively? #lsu #lsutigers #lsufootball #lsusports #lsutigersfootball #foryou #fyp #foryoupage #ays #ayssports #southcarolina #southcarolinagamecocks #briankelly #blakeruffino #shanebeamer Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Dems Launch ‘Civil War' Narrative By Orchestrating Antifa Chaos In Blue Cities, Forcing Trump To Respond With Federal Forces

Is the "best" hospital just about technology and surgical success? Ben Harder, the journalist who oversees the methodology and data for the U.S. News Best Children's Hospitals Rankings (2025), joins Katie to break down what truly defines quality in pediatric care. Ben shares his deeply personal family story—a tragedy 50 years in the past that drives his commitment to making data-driven information accessible today. This episode is a crucial guide for parents, explaining the three core pillars of the rankings: structure/resources, processes of care, and patient outcomes. We dive into why essential human-focused services like Child Life Specialists, chaplains, and family advisory boards are included in the scorecard and how they influence the rankings. Ben illuminates the challenge faced by these vital "cost centers" in a revenue-driven healthcare system, and offers a powerful message: parents are the strongest possible advocates for their children, and they should use every resource available—including the U.S. News data—to make informed, collaborative choices for their child's care team. Guest Links U.S. News Best Children's Hospitals Rankings: All data is freely available for families to research hospitals by region and specialty. Website: US News Press Release Episode Highlights & Key Takeaways The Personal Motivation: Ben shares the heartbreaking story of his cousin, whose permanent brain injury after a heart surgery complication 50 years ago lacked the complete care team needed to ensure a good outcome—a void the U.S. News data is designed to fill today. The Three Pillars of Ranking: US News analyzes over 1,000 data points grouped into: 1) Resources/Structure (nurses, expertise, technology, child life services), 2) Processes of Care (following best practices, infection control), and 3) Outcomes (survival, length of stay, quality of life). The Honor Roll: The 2025 Honor Roll features the top 10 hospitals recognized for high performance across multiple specialties, including: Boston Children's Hospital, The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP), Cincinnati Children's, Texas Children's Hospital, and others. A Piece of the Puzzle: The rankings are one resource to use alongside insurance coverage, geographic location, and most importantly, consulting your child's doctors and trusting your parental intuition. The Value of Human Support: Services like Child Life Specialists, support groups, and family advisory boards are included in the structural data points, serving as a motivator for hospitals to invest in comprehensive, family-centered care. Advocacy is Essential: Ben gives parents permission to advocate relentlessly, reminding them they know their child best. Collaborating with—not simply questioning—the care team can be life-saving.

In this episode of The Body Grievers Club, Bri sits down with Registered Dietitian and Intuitive Eating Counselor Jenna Talleda. They talk about what it really looks like to advocate for yourself at the doctor's office. Together, they unpack the realities of weight stigma in healthcare, the pressure to shrink as a provider in a larger body, and the emotional labor of holding boundaries when your care is on the line.Bri and Jenna name the hidden agendas behind routine weigh-ins, the harm of ignoring eating disorder histories, and the frustration of being gaslit by providers who reduce complex health concerns to a number on the scale. This conversation isn't just about weight. It's about agency, self-advocacy, and refusing to co-sign harmful narratives about your body.They also explore the people-pleasing tendencies that make “no” so hard to say, why fawning is a trauma response, and how anger can sometimes be the most protective force in recovery. If you've ever left a doctor's office feeling dismissed, shamed, or unheard, this episode will remind you: you're not alone, and your boundaries matter.TIMESTAMPS:02:05 What weight stigma looks like in healthcare05:20 Correlation vs. causation in weight + health08:40 The pressure of being a provider in a larger body12:10 Imposter syndrome + perfectionism in the work15:45 Saying no at the doctor's office: Jenna's story20:25 People-pleasing, fawning, and boundary holding24:10 Anger as protection + why your boundaries matter27:00 Advice for advocating for yourself at appointmentsRESOURCES:Other episodes mentioned:Ep 29: Healing the Medical NarrativeEp 36: Advocating For Yourself at the DoctorBri's Free Resource: 7-Step Guide to Shift Body Grief to Radical Body AcceptanceGet in Touch with Jenna HERE!WANT MORE OF BRI?Instagram: @bodyimagewithbri Website: https://bodyimagewithbri.com/ Join the Body Grievers VAULT: https://www.bodyimagewithbri.com/the-vault Use the coupon code BODYGRIEVERSCLUB for $50 off your purchase.

One of the toughest realities for teachers is realizing that your students are already behind before the year even begins. That's exactly what we're tackling in this episode. Last week, we talked about how to handle things when students fail a test at the end of a unit, but this week, I'm flipping the script (thanks to another great listener question!) and asking: what do you do when you realize that your students don't have the background knowledge or skills they need to be successful in your class? I share how to respond when you realize students are starting the year behind, how to decide what's your responsibility versus theirs, ways to get practical support from colleagues and tools like AI, and more.➡️ Show Notes: https://itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com/episode203Resources Mentioned:INRS Complete Units Balance PD Course Download your FREE Classroom Reset Challenge.Take the Free Labs When Limited virtual PD courseSend me a DM on Instagram: @its.not.rocket.scienceSend me an email: rebecca@itsnotrocketscienceclassroom.com  Follow, rate, and review on Apple Podcasts.Related Episodes and Blog Posts:Episode 69, Admin Support - WHY You Need to Ask, HOW to Ask, and WHAT to Ask ForEpisode 123, What to Do When You Care More Than Your StudentsEpisode 145, How to Build Resilience in Students Post-PandemicEpisode 155, How to Create Active and Accountable Learners in Your Secondary Science Classroom4 FREE Halloween-themed resources specifically for high school science - 1 for biology, 1 for chemistry, 1 for anatomy, and 1 for physics.

‘Woke' is a term we hear a lot and yet its definition is hard to pin down. Where does it come from – and how should the church respond to it? Do we celebrate it or resist it? It's worth asking – what would Jesus affirm and would he confront? And what is the way forward from here?

Cold calling terrifies most salespeople more than losing their biggest account. The rejection. The hang-ups. The voice telling you that you're bothering people who don't want to hear from you. Before transitioning into sales, Steve Munn spent nine years as a professional hockey defenseman. As a hockey player, his job was to make life difficult for the other team and absorb whatever they dished back.  "Part of it was getting punched in the face," he said on a recent episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast. "If I get a no from a prospect, that's maybe a bad day, but it's certainly not as bad as getting a concussion or a broken nose again." That perspective shift, understanding what actually constitutes a threat, changes everything about how you approach cold calling. It goes beyond being tougher or having thicker skin. Your Fear Isn't About the Call Most sales professionals will do anything to avoid call blocks. They'll update their CRM. Reorganize their pipeline. Respond to emails that could wait three days. Anything but pick up the phone. The problem isn't the person on the other end of the line. You don't want to be the one who fumbles, doesn't have the right answer, or proves you don't belong in that conversation. Imposter syndrome thrives in sales because every call is another opportunity to prosecute yourself. Every objection becomes evidence that you're not cut out for this. Every hang-up confirms what you secretly suspected: You're bothering people who have better things to do. That internal narrative is all in your head, and it's costing you deals. Get Your Mind Right First You can't make effective cold calls when you're living in your head. Anxiety, overthinking, or trying to sound perfect makes every conversation feel forced. Nothing bad actually happens on a sales call. Your life isn't in danger, and a hung-up phone or curt “not interested” barely registers as a problem. The best cold callers aren't fearless. They're prepared mentally before they start dialing. Find what gets you into the right frame of mind: review recent wins, remind yourself that you're solving real problems, or call a colleague for perspective. The goal is connecting with another human, not executing a perfect pitch. People can tell the difference. Separate Message From Delivery When someone says "we're all set" and hangs up, they're not making a judgment about your worth as a salesperson or a human being. They're communicating one thing: They're not interested right now. The delivery might feel harsh, and the tone might sound dismissive. But the message is simple and impersonal. Athletes learn this early. Coaches scream. Teammates criticize. Opponents talk trash. If you react emotionally to how something is said rather than hearing what's actually being communicated, you become ineffective. In sales, the same principle applies. When you stop taking the delivery personally, you can actually hear what's being said. Sometimes what sounds like a hard no is actually "you haven't given me a reason to care yet" or "call me back in six months." You Don't Need to Know Everything One of the biggest barriers to cold calling is the belief you must have all the answers. You hesitate because you think, "What if they ask something I don't know? I'll look like a fool." Here's what that thinking misses: You have a team. No salesperson operates in a vacuum. You've got service teams, technical experts, partners, and colleagues who collectively know far more than you do individually. The expectation that you should show up with encyclopedic knowledge is self-imposed and unrealistic. What matters on a cold call isn't demonstrating expertise. It's demonstrating curiosity and commitment.  When you release yourself from the pressure to be perfect, cold calling becomes about investigation rather than performance.  Ask Questions Nobody Else Does Most salespeople treat cold calls like a race to present their solution.

host: Alyson Stanfield Artist and activist Malene Barnett joins host Alyson Stanfield to unpack how she balances a multidisciplinary practice while designing work that “holds memory” in space. Malene shares the planning, community, and process-sharing that keep a long, installation-driven practice moving, and she offers a resonant lens on clay as a tool for liberation grounded in Caribbean and West African heritage. Bits of her wisdom: Plan your studio around time-intensive mediums so momentum never stalls. On social media, share process, tools, and research to connect when finished work is scarce. Think in space: design work and installations that carry memory and story. Build stability outside the studio to support long-term creative growth. Form intentional communities for critique, support, and opportunity. HIGHLIGHTS 02:10 Family lineage and a first-generation background shape Malene's practice. 04:20 The pact to center ancestry and identity in her work from art school onward. 08:20 Clay as a tool for liberation through Caribbean pottery history and markets. 13:10 Leaving bespoke rugs, after a sabbatical, to reclaim her voice and move into clay. 19:20 Tiles and architecture as ways to create a space that holds memory. 21:00 Planning around clay's long timelines for drying, firing, and glazing. 22:20 Residencies, film, and building an archive of Caribbean potters. 26:40 Why sharing process, tools, and research sustains audience connection. 32:10 Founding the Black Artists and Designers Guild and how to start a community. 35:10 Crafted Kinship: agency, blurred lines between art, craft, and design. 41:10 Career advice: seek stability, invest, and take the long view. 43:20 What's next: a large-scale ceramic mural in Greensboro, with installation in 2027.

Psychologist and heart-transplant recipient Dr. Brittany Clayborne shares how her own medical journey prepared her to guide her son Micah through sudden heart failure, an LVAD, and a life-saving transplant. She unpacks the family's rare Danon's disease diagnosis, post-transplant cancer (PTLD), and the everyday realities after transplant—meds, setbacks, and hope. You'll learn Dr. Brittany's BRAVE framework for hard moments, how rituals sustain connection during long hospital stays, and how Micah turned his experience into action with Transplant Teens and My Brave Journal. This conversation is packed with concrete tools, compassion, and the reminder that “hope is a team sport.” You do not want to miss this week's episode. Featured moments: 00:00 — Why families need “somewhere to be brave.” 04:50 — Brittany's peripartum cardiomyopathy, ICU wait, and LVAD. 10:05 — PTLD diagnosis and becoming the psychologist she needed. 12:50 — Micah's chest pain → HCM crisis and transplant path. 24:00 — The BRAVE acronym families can use today. 44:00 — “Hope is a team sport.” Transplant Teens' vision. Key takeaways: Use BRAVE in tough conversations: Breathe • Realize feelings • Accept them • Vent/Vulnerable with a trusted person • Elevate above it. Build predictable touchpoints (calls/visits) to anchor kids during long hospitalizations. Teens heal better with peers; if the group doesn't exist yet, create it.

Republicans & Democrats Are Both Divisive - How Do We Respond As Christians? | Wide Open #122

In this episode, we're taking a look at the classic emotional abuse push-pull cycle that makes us feel like we're starring in a soap opera we never auditioned for. This one's for the Christian woman who's been there, twisting herself into a holy pretzel trying to keep the peace, hold the family together, and love like Jesus while getting emotionally sucker-punched by someone who claims to love her. What We Cover: The nine mind-warping tactics emotional abusers use to keep you locked in their circus of dysfunction.Why your loving heart (and need for connection) makes you the perfect target, and why that's not a flaw.The six empowering, grown-up strategies to unhook yourself from their drama without turning into a fire-breathing dragon.Why explanations are overrated, and how less really is more (especially when you're dealing with a manipulative guilt ninja).How to set boundaries like a boss while still loving people, but from a safe distance.Read the full show notes and/or ask Natalie a question hereRelated Resources:Liked this episode?

We've got a surprise for you this week – Sabrina is back! She and Sonia T. are taking full control of the mic while Sonia C. is teaching, and they are tackling the barking dogs. We've all had seasons when the barking dogs are really revved up, but when your expectations of yourself and others start to spin out of control, it's time for you to take charge and calm down.    This week's theme is: You – not your barking dog – are in control of you!    Reserve your seat at the Speed Dial Your Guidance Experience today!   Highlights: Welcome back to the podcast, Sabrina! [:30] Eclipse season is wrapping up, and our shadows are ready to rest. [2:02]  Quieting the inner critic. [9:34] Check your expectations – of yourself and others! [11:50] You get to turn the awareness dial up or down. [17:30] Meet Pete and Peony! What is your barking dog's name? [19:40]  You get to choose what news you consume. [25:05] Who tells you that you're too much? [30:00] Tool of the Week: Embrace your inner child, but don't let her drive the bus. [39:10] Question of the Week: Are birds really my spirit guides? [42:54]   Eclipse season is wrapping up, and our spirits are rejoicing!  Something about the shadows that come out during eclipse season can leave us feeling unsettled about our lives and unsure about our relationships, but it doesn't have to be that way! Being intuitive sometimes means knowing others' needs even before they do, but that awareness dial doesn't always need to be turned up to full volume. You can choose to quiet the dial, and you just may preserve your happy relationships in the process!   Today on the podcast, we also welcome Pete and Peony, the barking dogs! Your ego intellect can be named and can be put to good use in service to your spirit. But when you let the dog drive the bus, it gets really loud, really quickly! When your barking dog gets critical and starts thinking in black and white and just knows it's right about everything, it's time to name it to tame it. Remember, you are in control here, not your barking dog.    Tool of the Week: Embrace your inner child, but don't let her drive the bus.

Are you tired of feeling guilty every time you get angry as a parent? What if your anger actually contains valuable information about what needs to change in your family systems? Most parental anger management approaches treat all anger the same way - as a problem that requires control. But research shows there are actually two distinct types of parental anger, and understanding this difference changes everything about how you respond. Instead of suppressing your emotions or exploding at your kids, you can learn to use your anger constructively to create positive change for your family. In this episode, you'll discover why traditional anger control methods often backfire and learn a practical framework for responding to your anger in ways that honor both your emotional experience and your family's wellbeing. You'll understand when your anger is pointing to legitimate systemic problems versus when it's signaling you've hit your personal limits. Questions this episode will answer Why do I get so angry as a parent?
