The Nurses Report on America Out Loud with Ashley Caputo, RN, FMP – The conversation explores what happens when healthcare moves beyond asking, “What can we give someone for this symptom?” and begins asking, “What factors may be contributing to this problem?” Using common examples such as hypertension, insulin resistance, type 2 diabetes, reflux, bloating, and constipation...

"If you are considering board service, I would say take the leap. Start with your local chapter. It will give you some valuable skills that will help prepare you when you are applying for your national level. And I always say, if you want to do it, just do it because what's the worst that can happen? They can say no, but that doesn't mean that you will never serve on a board. I always tell people delayed is not denied," Cassandra Green, DNP, RN, OCN®, ONS member and past president of the Oncology Nursing Certification Corporation (ONCC) Board of Directors, told Evelyn Wempe, DNP, MBA, APRN, ACNP-BC, AOCNP®, CRN, NEA-BC, chair of the ONS Leadership Succession Committee (formerly known as the Leadership Development Committee), during a conversation about service on a board of directors. Wempe spoke with Green and ONS members Kristin Ferguson, DNP, MBA, RN, OCN®, CGNC, former treasurer and director-at-large on the ONS Board of Directors, and Yanka Campbell, DNP, RN, CPHQ, AGPCNP-BC, CNE, member of the Oncology Nursing Foundation (ONF) Board of Directors, about their experiences with board service.

Highlights From This Episode Campbell: "Joining a board was a natural next step for me to maintain my connection to bedside nursing that I've loved for so many years, and to find a way to give back to advanced practice nurses as well in this role. The Oncology Nursing Society and Foundation were especially meaningful for me because I knew firsthand the importance of having scholarship, research, funding, and leadership development programs that can really change the trajectory of a nurse's career. I realized I wanted to help shape the opportunities that were available to me for future nurses, and I just did not want to continue to do that through one-on-one mentorships, which I have done extensively throughout my career, but find a way to help more broadly toward guiding organizational mission and strategic objectives." TS 7:20 Green: "Everyone was so welcoming on the board. Everyone was so friendly. One of the first things I remember our executive director Tony Ellis telling me is, 'Most of our new board members are really quiet and reserved at our first meeting. They just kind of keep things to themselves. They don't ask a lot of questions.' I don't know if they were prepared for me because I came in with guns a-blazing, and I had lots of questions. I was not quiet. I was very involved and very vocal. I still am, but that was one of the best experiences ever. Before that, I had never really been in a board setting other than my local chapter, and even then, I was just starting to be in that setting because I was the president of my local chapter and on the [ONCC] Board of Directors at the same time." TS 10:29 Ferguson: "A nonclinical mentor I would absolutely identify would be Alec Stone, who used to be the ONS director of public affairs. … He helped me to learn a lot about health policy and advocacy and the impact a nurse's voice can have. Learning how to speak about my experiences in health care in public by doing programs like the Nurses in Washington Internship … or ONS's Capitol Hill Days ended up giving me a lot more confidence that I didn't know I would have in expressing my point of view and being very open and collegial and expressing my opinions. … This really lent itself well to my future board experience because, as Cassandra mentioned, board members have to speak their mind and speak up at the meetings." TS 12:11 Campbell: "One of the most unexpected benefits was when I reached out to my executive leadership team at the Kimmel Cancer Center at Johns Hopkins and said, 'I'm being considered to serve on the ONF Board. This is going to require me taking time away from work to attend meetings, to attend some in-person meetings. And then it would be really wonderful at the institution if I'm able to also financially impact the nurses who need to benefit from what I've benefited from in my career.' Usually when you have those conversations, you are expecting to present a deck of PowerPoint slides to make your case, but the answer from my leadership team in participating in ONF and supporting the Board was an immediate yes. It was 'Yes, when can you start? Yes, what can we do to support you?' And really making sure that I had dedicated time to be fully present." TS 14:15 Ferguson: "There are many skills and experiences that can lend themselves to being a strong board member. … The ability to speak your mind clearly and express your thoughts, which really boils down to strong communication skills. We are lucky in our careers. We all have worked as nurses in different settings and health care, and nurses are naturally skilled and good at communication. We learn strategies like SBAR—situation, background assessment, recommendation. Nurses every day are communicating in their places of work, oftentimes with patients who are sick and need education, or perhaps with new nurses they're teaching or mentoring. And they are communicating with non-nurses, as well, and nonpatients, so clinical roles and nonclinical roles. So nurses already have a good understanding of best practices when it comes to communication, and this can lend itself well to any board position." TS 21:04 Green: "When you [come into a] leadership role, I think that's when we learn most about ourselves and what we expect. And be the leader type of leader that you want to be and the type of leader that you would like to work with so that you can make your experience valuable and pleasurable." TS 28:57

 On top of coping with the anxiety of a cancer diagnosis and the physical effects of treatment, patients with cancer face the dual challenge of accessing and affording care. Many patients delay seeking care due to the perceived high cost, and others experience burdensome medical debt as a result of their care. In many cancer programs, financial navigators focus on obtaining financial clearance and assistance for eligible patients. However, this approach can fail to address patient distress stemming from the cost of care, insurance-related delays, and redundant work for cancer program staff. In this episode, CANCER BUZZ speaks with 2026 ACCC Innovator Award winner Cathleen Hernandez-Vita, BSN, RN, ONN-CG, Associate Director of MDAnderson Navigation Services at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, about how her team worked to address these challenges. The program developed a novel Pre-Intake Navigation (PIN) program to identify and resolve early financial and insurance barriers, enabling patients to access timely, high-quality cancer care with less anxiety and fewer delays. Hernandez-Vita shares how PIN shifts financial navigation from a late-stage, reactive task to an early, standardized, patient-centered process embedded in the call center workflow. "As organizations embrace new technologies and out-of-the-box solutions, it's important not to lose sight of the human, caring touch. Successful innovation is often about finding the right balance between efficiency and empathy." – Cathleen Hernandez-Vita, BSN, RN, ONN-CG   Guest: Cathleen Hernandez-Vita, BSN, RN, ONN-CG  Associate Director, askMDAnderson Navigation Services The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center Houston, Texas Resources: ACCC 43rd National Oncology Conference 2026 ACCC Innovator MD Anderson Cancer Center Transforming Access to Care Through Pre-Intake Navigation ACCC Financial Advocacy Network Financial Advocacy Network Resources Bridging the Gap: Enhancing Cancer Care Through Financial Navigation

Dr. Morgan is back with her fifth baby, and this time, she's sharing the full, unfiltered story of her fifth home birth. From going past her due date and days of early contractions to the moment labor suddenly intensified, she walks Leah through what labor actually felt like, how she used breath, movement, and visualization to cope with contractions, and the transition that she says is one of the hardest and least talked-about parts of birth.

There's a version of fear most of us know well. Your chest gets tight, your mind starts racing, and your body braces for the worst before you've even had time to process what's happening. But what if fear under pressure isn't a flaw in us at all, just a reflex we've developed over time, and one we can actually learn to retrain? Jenna Schutt, a former cardiac RN who was later diagnosed with a rare incurable disease at age 30, joins host Swati to talk about what she calls the Joy Reflex, training faith, peace, and joy to become as automatic as fear, why healing rarely moves in a straight line, and how ordinary moments of pressure are training grounds for extraordinary ones. About the Guest: Jenna Schutt is a former cardiac registered nurse, author, and speaker who was diagnosed with a rare incurable disease at age 30 while raising two young children, undergoing more than ten rounds of chemotherapy and a stem cell transplant. She is the creator of The Joy Reflex, a framework for training faith, peace, and joy as automatic responses to pressure, and runs Faith with Jenna, a growing community for women navigating hard seasons. Key Takeaways: Fear isn't a personal failure, it's a normal human response, and like any trained response, it can be retrained. Your first fearful thought may be automatic, but what happens next, the spiral or the anchor, is something you can practice and change. The best time to train your response to pressure is in calm water, before the crisis hits, not in the middle of it. A joy reflex works the same way brushing your teeth does, repeated practice until faith, peace, and joy become automatic instead of effortful. Healing and habit change move in hills and valleys, not a straight line, and slipping back doesn't erase the progress you've already built.

In part two of Laura's conversation with Becky Russell, they continue exploring the four parts of our worldview by turning to meaning and destiny. Becky shares how serving others in simple, everyday ways helped her begin to rediscover meaning after Jae Lin's death. They also discuss the hope of heaven, the continuation of love, and how our beliefs about what comes after this life can provide a framework for processing the pain of child loss. Becky also shares the powerful manifesto she wrote when a trusted friend encouraged her to stop focusing on what she no longer believed and begin identifying what she still knew to be true. If grief has left you questioning God, your faith, or whether life can ever be worth living again, this honest conversation will encourage you to consider what you do believe and allow those truths to become an anchor when doubt and fear creep in. Becky Russell, RN, MA, MSN, has spent her entire adult life in some form of extending mercy to others. As a registered nurse, with two master's degrees in health care administration and education, she practiced in a variety of roles of Intensive Care, Cardiac Rehabilitation and Education.

Today we have Mitchell. He is 30 years old, lives in Missouri, and he took his last drink on April 6th, 2025.   This episode is brought to you by:                                          Sign up and get 10% off: Better Help Sober Link sign up and claim your $100 enrollment bonus   Next Monday, August 31st, we are celebrating the launch of the compilation book This Is How We Quit with a live event via Zoom. Everyone who registers for this free event will receive one free month of membership in Café RE.   Coming in September, Café RE will be hosting Ditching the Booze: Emotions. It is a four-week live course, every Wednesday in September at 8pm Eastern   [01:50] Thoughts from Paul:   Paul shares a YouTube video from Seth Capehart MD about The World's Most Encouraged Drug.   He gives a brief history of alcohol, that we have been consuming it for thousands of years as humans. It used to serve a vital purpose then, because fermented beverages with a low alcohol content were safer to drink than water. Eventually engineers figured out to provide clean drinking water, but the alcohol consumption stuck around.   The doctor shares what alcohol does to our bodies. It taxes the liver and wrecks our hormones. The doctor says if you were trying to create a hormonal environment that would make you fat, weak, and tired, alcohol would be perfect that. He says it's the most invisible, yet visible problem he's encountered in medicine.   The next time you find yourself romanticizing a drink, remember the statistics and how terribly it affects our body.      Alcohol was the most encouraged drug, but that's changing and you are part of it.   [08:35] Paul introduces Mitchell:   Mitchell is 30 years old, and lives in Missouri with his wife and three cats. For work, Mitchell is an RN and for fun he enjoys fitness, various types of gaming and is competing in his first triathlon.   Mitchell says that growing up, both of his parents were problem drinkers. He hated seeing his parents drunk and by the time he was 10 or 11, he swore he was never going to drink.   During a bout of depression when he was 18, Mitchell decided to try alcohol to numb the discomfort. He would drink in his room by himself and knew from the start it wasn't normal behavior.   When Mitchell went to college in 2015, he says his mental health had improved and the change in environment and meeting new people helped. His drinking looked different than his friends' and he chose to ignore the voice inside telling him he might have an issue. He was sober curious at times but wasn't ready to quit.   After graduating, Mitchell's work as a nurse enabled him to have a schedule for when he could drink. He got married in 2023 and Mitchell says it was clear that this wasn't a cycle he should continue now that there is another person in his life. She is a normal drinker and didn't understand Mitchell's desire to keep going after she was drinking after she was ready to stop. This created conflict for them.   Mitchell began to sneak drinks so that his wife wouldn't know that amount he was drinking and he was always ready to downplay the drinking when she brought it up.   When his brother-in-law announced that he was quitting after a rough night out, Mitchell decided to speak up and say he would join him. He didn't put a timeline on it, but by saying it out loud, Mitchell knew he would be able to stop for a little while. Having the accountability buddy was helpful and then his wife joined in to support them both.   On day nine, his father passed away from an alcohol-related illness. This solidified Mitchell's intention to stay sober, and he started looking for resources. He began listening to the RE podcast and reading quit lit. Not long after he began attending AA and got a sponsor to work the steps with. Mitchell feels fortunate to have a great support system both in and out of AA.   Mitchell's parting piece of guidance: Don't suffer in silence.   Recovery Elevator You took the elevator down. You got to take the stairs back up. We can do this.   Café RE RE Instagram Sobriety Tracker iTunes  RE YouTube

She emphasizes accountability, informed consent, transparency, critical thinking, and Americans' right to question public-health authorities without coercion or censorship...

This week we speak with Ms. Sharon Welsh BSN, RN about a novel project she has embarked upon called CLEAR CHD PHYSIOLOGY (on Instagram chdphysiology.icu) which is a physiology-based site intended to teach bedside critical care nurses about CHD physiology. What signs or symptoms are important and what is their meaning? Why is nursing at the bedside of a sick postoperative newborn so much more difficult than it was at the start of Ms. Welsh's career? How does Ms. Welsh use AI to create a flexible learning tool for RN's and all interested in congenital heart physiology? Ms. Welsh provides the answers this week. 

"They're really worried that radiation is going to be painful. So they come in for that first day of treatment very anxious. With our patients with brain cancer, we're using the masks on the table, and those masks are very tight and hold their heads very, very still. So they'll be very worried about being claustrophobic. We may start out the first day or two with a little bit of [lorazepam]. And they'll come to me and they'll say, 'This really hasn't been as bad as I thought it was going to be,'" ONS member Catherine McCluskey, BSN, RN, OCN®, ROCN™, radiation oncology staff nurse at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist in Winston-Salem, NC, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, who was the manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS at the time of the recording, during a conversation about radiation side effects in central nervous system (CNS) cancers.

Highlights From This Episode "With primary tumors—glioblastomas, astrocytoma, all of those types of cancerous primary CNS tumors, the tumors are not very well-defined. They have little tentacles that kind of go out, so doing something like Gamma Knife, which is very precise, is not as effective as an external beam because the external beam will deliver radiation to all those little tentacles that are out there in the brain. And with Gamma Knife, you really can't effectively do that." TS 2:34 "When we're doing radiation to the brain, fortunately there aren't that many acute toxicities involved. Sometimes they'll have some mild dermatitis. Usually, it's not very significant. They, like everyone else who gets radiation, will have fatigue. Usually once we get to the end of the second week of radiation, into the third week for our patients with primary CNS tumors—the hair loss—they'll start to notice hair loss just in the treatment area. But those are typical, the things that we've seen most. Sometimes we'll have patients who will experience some nausea, maybe a few headaches, but really the acute toxicities are not severe typically with our patients with brain tumors." TS 8:30 "[For] the fatigue, I tell patients to just listen to their bodies. We don't want them to be sedentary, and we want them to go out and continue living their lives. But I do warn them that the fatigue is pretty much common to all patients receiving radiation at various degrees, depending on the patient. I just tell them to do what they feel like doing, and then when they're tired to rest, and if they find themselves having a nap in the afternoon, that's okay." TS 13:51 "What I find with these patients in particular is that a lot of times, their first symptoms related to any type of cancer are CNS symptoms from brain metastasis. Our patients with lung cancer or melanoma—they come in through the emergency room for altered mental status or seizures or something like that. They find a mass in their brain, and then they find a mass on their lung, or they find masses everywhere. Typically, they want to treat the brain masses first before they start them on any kind of systemic treatment. And so, they'll come to us, and they're in shock. Everything's happened very quickly. They haven't had a chance to really catch their breath. They're overwhelmed. And so I try to make sure they understand that everyone that they see here is part of their team and is with them through this journey and they're not alone." TS 25:36 "A couple of years ago, ONS put out an email asking for people to volunteer to do a delineation study about the feasibility of doing a radiation oncology certified nursing exam. And I, just on a whim, responded to that email. It's not something I've ever done before, and thinking that I would not be put on the team. … And I thought, 'I don't have enough experience, I don't know what I'm doing, and they won't choose me.' And lo and behold, they put me on this role delineation study. … I have met so many incredible nurses with all kinds of experience. I've learned so much. It has opened up a lot of things for me and it's been really exciting, so all I can do is say take advantage of those opportunities when they come. Don't think that you don't know enough, because you know more than you think you do." TS 32:38 

What if the key to leading change isn't having all the answers, but knowing how to listen? In this episode, Sue Hassmiller, a nationally recognized nurse leader, leadership coach, and health care strategist, talks about the human side of leading teams through change and what it takes to build trust, psychological safety, and true ownership. She explains why deep listening and genuine relationships are more effective than simply telling people what to do. She also explores the difference between compliance and ownership, and how leaders can help teams take greater responsibility for improvement by connecting change to their values and giving them a voice. Finally, Sue shares how coaching, curiosity, and self-awareness can help leaders overcome judgment and better understand why teams may feel stuck, resistant, or exhausted. Tune in to learn how leaders can listen differently, build stronger connections, and create the conditions for meaningful, lasting change in health care! IHI Spotlight - Jesse McCall: In this IHI Spotlight, Jesse McCall, Senior Director at IHI, explains that sustainable healthcare improvement depends as much on people and culture as it does on technical methods. He emphasizes connecting frontline staff to a shared purpose, creating psychologically safe environments where people can speak up and test new ideas, and ensuring leaders close feedback loops so employees become partners in change rather than recipients of it. About Sue Hassmiller: Sue Hassmiller, PhD, RN, FAAN, is an executive and leadership coach for nurse executives and health care leaders. Across a distinguished career spanning frontline public health, nursing academia, high-level government policy, and 25 years leading national initiatives at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, she has dedicated her life to transforming health care systems from the inside out. An elected member of the National Academy of Medicine, recipient of the Florence Nightingale Medal, and recognized as a Living Legend by the American Academy of Nursing, Sue combines multi-sector expertise with certified coaching to help health care leaders navigate complex relationships, drive health equity, and champion compassionate care. She is also the author of Resetting: An Unplanned Journey of Love, Loss, and Living Again, which explores healing and the vital human element in modern health care. Things You'll Learn: Deep listening is essential for understanding how people experience and respond to change. Leaders build ownership by listening to their teams, acknowledging their perspectives, and connecting change to shared values. Psychological safety enables teams to contribute ideas, innovate, and perform at their best. Effective behavior change requires leaders to change their own behaviors by becoming more curious, self-aware, and less judgmental. Leaders can better support stuck or exhausted teams by asking questions and seeking to understand the underlying causes instead of making assumptions.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Alder Allensworth as guest to the show to share the Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Community.   About Alder Allensworth, Co-Founder of Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's:   Alder Allensworth, MM, RN, is a registered nurse and retired hospice counselor who supported families caring for loved ones with dementia at the end of life. Her professional background spans working with both children and older adults, including those living with Alzheimer's disease.   The inspiration for this project grew from Alder's personal experience witnessing her mother, who had Alzheimer's, connect meaningfully with her grandchildren—Alder's nieces and nephews. This powerful family experience, combined with her clinical work, deepened her commitment to helping families navigate dementia with compassion, creativity, and connection.   Alder is also an accomplished writer, having published several articles in professional journals and books. As a speaker and presenter in the field of disabilities, she has shared her insights on local, national, and international stages. Her advocacy and dedication to promoting quality of life for people with disabilities have been featured on CNN, as well as in international media and local news outlets.   About Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's:   The Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Program (MMAP) is a family-centered multimedia educational program created to help children, parents, caregivers, educators, and healthcare professionals better understand and navigate Alzheimer's disease together.   Designed especially for families in the "sandwich generation," MMAP provides practical guidance, age-appropriate education, and meaningful activities that help children stay connected with a loved one living with Alzheimer's—from diagnosis through the severe stage of the disease.   At the heart of MMAP is the Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Awareness Program (MMAAP), a 5-video educational series that explains the different stages of Alzheimer's while also providing guidance for adults who are simultaneously raising children and caring for an aging loved one.   The program includes:   • A 5-video educational series covering the stages of Alzheimer's • Guidance for parents and caregivers helping children understand the disease • Simple, meaningful activities children can do with their loved one • A quick-reference guide and video transcripts • Accessible audio and visual resources for different learning needs • An online community component offering additional connection and support   One of the most important goals of MMAAP is helping children understand Alzheimer's in ways that are appropriate for their age—while showing them that even as the disease progresses, there are still opportunities to connect, interact, and create meaningful moments with the person they love.   The program is complemented by the Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Disease Picture Book, a gentle, child-friendly introduction to Alzheimer's that follows a young girl as she learns to understand and remain connected with her grandmother throughout the progression of the disease.   The book also includes a QR code providing access to a free Story Song download. The lyrics of the song are the text of the book, creating an engaging and memorable learning experience for young children, early readers, and families.   MMAP can also serve as a valuable educational resource for Adult Day Centers and Memory Care Communities. The ready-to-use program gives organizations a structured way to educate and support families, proactively answer common questions, and provide families with resources they can return to throughout their caregiving journey—allowing staff to devote more time to care, engagement, and meaningful connection.   Ultimately, the Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Program goes beyond explaining the disease.   It helps families understand what is happening, gives children a meaningful role in the caregiving journey, and provides families with tools to preserve relationships, create positive memories, and remain connected throughout Alzheimer's and other dementias.

One of the most basic skills an Air Methods team member should have is knowing how to intubate properly. Understanding how to do that properly is a prerequisite for the job. But knowing when to intubate, and in the particular case of this month's patient, knowing when NOT to intubate is most crucial. Our team is tasked with transferring our patient Myles who was experiencing acute respiratory distress, but in their assessment determined that despite his severe symptoms, intubating and paralyzing him could likely lead to even worse outcomes. Listen in as we hear from not only our team, but our patient, as they describe the unusual and voluminous symptoms, which are unusual for a 33 year-old. How did they make their determinations? What does Myles remember? And what has the road to recovery been like for Myles? You're not going to believe everything he's been through.    Interested in obtaining CE credit for this episode?

.Step inside one of the most unique corners of American healthcare as Transmission Interrupted takes you behind the scenes of the National Quarantine Unit at the University of Nebraska Medical Center and Nebraska Medicine. In this episode, host Jill Morgan is joined by key members of the Nebraska team—Dr. Katie Willet, Morgan Shradar, and Angie Vasa—to explore how preparedness, partnership, and people form the backbone of the nation's only dedicated quarantine unit. Listeners will discover the origin story of this 20-bed unit, why it's different from both home quarantine and traditional hospital isolation, and how its creation was driven by real-world lessons from recent public health emergencies like the Ebola outbreak and COVID-19 pandemic.From the practical logistics of care (think twice-daily health checks, concierge-level support, and even laundry service) to the psychological challenges of isolation and the intricacies of national and global collaboration, this episode sheds light on the critical thinking and teamwork required to protect both individuals and the community during high-stakes contagious threats. Hear firsthand how the UNMC and Nebraska Medicine team adapts with each new pathogen, leans on the strength of their Omaha community, and continuously trains to stay a step ahead of the next big infectious risk—demonstrating “Nebraska nice” even in the toughest circumstances.Questions or comments for NETEC?

What happens when a nurse gives 14 years to the ICU, survives COVID on the front lines, fractures her spine, and battles PTSD... and still finds her way back to hope? That's Ashley Chancellor's story. And she is telling all of it. In this episode of the Beat Nurse Burnout Podcast, we sit down with Ashley Chancellor, RN, bestselling author of Just a Nurse: Memoir on the Heartbeat of Healing, Writing Coach, and Self-Empowerment Coach for nurses. Ashley spent 14 years in critical care, traveled as an ICU nurse for 9 of those years, and watched the healthcare system collapse from the front row. Then COVID broke more than just the system... it broke her physically and emotionally. At 38, Ashley retired from bedside nursing. But she didn't stop caring. She started writing to heal, found God in the process, and now empowers other nurses to heal themselves first so we can heal the world together. In this episode we talk about: How burnout shows up in high-achieving nurses  What it means to heal your body, your mind, AND your spirit after trauma Writing as a tool for self-discovery and emotional processing Finding faith in the wreckage of burnout What "doing the nursing you love" actually looks like outside the hospital walls Ashley's free resource to begin your own healing journey Keywords: nurse burnout, ICU nurse burnout, travel nurse burnout, nurse PTSD, nursing and mental health, healing from burnout, nurses leaving bedside, nurse memoir, just a nurse book, writing to heal, faith and nursing, holistic nurse wellness, nurse self-care, burned out nurse recovery, nurse leader burnout, Christian nurse, nurse empowerment, nursing trauma, leaving bedside nursing, nurse coach podcast Connect with Ashley:

In this episode, Laura talks with Becky Russell about her daughter, Jae, who died in a car accident at sixteen. Becky shares how her deep spiritual foundation was shaken by the confusion and questions that followed, leaving her to wrestle with beliefs she once thought were unshakable. Laura and Becky begin exploring four parts of our worldview that influence how we process grief: origin, morality, meaning, and destiny. In this first half of their conversation, they focus on origin and morality, discussing what we believe about where life comes from, how we determine truth, and what happens when child loss brings spiritual mayhem into everything we thought we knew. If your child's death has left you confused about God or questioning beliefs you once felt certain about, this honest conversation is one you will want to hear. Becky Russell, RN, MA, MSN, has spent her entire adult life in some form of extending mercy to others. As a registered nurse, with two master's degrees in health care administration and education, she practiced in a variety of roles of Intensive Care, Cardiac Rehabilitation and Education. She recently retired from Baptist Health as the Director of Clinical Learning and Professional Development. During her career, Becky spent years helping others navigate grief. Then on March 18, 2004, her daughter, Jae Lynn, and two of Jae Lynn's friends, were killed in a car accident, and Becky found herself navigating her own deep grief. After the devastating loss, Becky joined and then began to facilitate a monthly support group for The Bereaved Parents of the USA. She is a creative national and local speaker and authors the Facebook blog “Weepyseeds”. Becky lives in Arkansas, with her husband, Ralph, of 44 years, and is the mother of Jae Lynn's two surviving sisters.

"Measurable residual disease is where I think the terminology fits best in that, it is intended to measure the amount of cancer cells that are present in the blood or bone marrow at the time the sample was collected. We can identify one cancer cell in a million. Where that can be really valuable is when we start to think about the duration of treatments and the response to some of our treatments," ONS member Caitilin Murphy, DNP, APRN, FNP-BC, AOCNP®, chief nurse practitioner at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute in Boston, MA, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) treatment considerations for oncology nurses.

Highlights From This Episode "Blood work is a really nice way to evaluate if there is progression of the disease. And we evaluate their blood counts, specifically that complete blood count with a differential. We anticipate an elevated white count, and we anticipate that the absolute lymphocyte count is going to be elevated. That's characteristic of the disease. But what evolves and happens is that those numbers can rapidly change and what we get concerned about is if that white count—and the percentage of the absolute lymphocyte count specifically—starts to increase and double quickly." TS 5:52 "There are some components that help clinicians decide if we expect these things, this cadence of change to happen more readily, or if we feel really comfortable that the biology of the variants contributing to the type of CLL that each patient may have, they may not have that progression as quickly or at all. And so that kind of helps us in that follow-up and cadence. Oftentimes, we're checking blood work every three or six months. Some patients are on an annual interval of visits depending on that active surveillance. I think the other piece is that we have a relatively low threshold when there is a change in symptoms to just recheck those blood tests. It's nice that we can have a pretty readily available blood test to be able to give us a lot of information for these patients." TS 9:45 "When we think about CLL therapy, the old tried and true [treatments] still work: so, rituximab and obinutuzumab. And then we kind of start to think about pathways and the way, the mechanisms of which these treatments are integrated. We think about different pathways of how we can induce cell death, but also what are the potential side effects? What are the potential interactions?" TS 19:35 "I think a lot of this is about really having a clear understanding of the patient's goals and really being able to understand and align. I think we have a lot more data to provide guidance for those patients that really are wanting to know: What is my chance of overall survival? If I do this, does this mean that I don't need to ever be on treatment again? If I do it this way, does it mean that I have to come into clinic every week, or does it mean that I have to come in every week but I'm done? I do one year of treatment, and I don't have to think about treatment for a really long time based on some of these components that we can take into consideration." TS 24:36 "When we think about the B-cell lymphoma 2 (BCL-2) inhibitors, with venetoclax, I think the biggest component we think about is tumor lysis syndrome. It's so effective that these cancer cells release all of those electrolytes, potassium, phosphorus; you can see a rise in the lactate dehydrogenase and uric acid because those cells are breaking down. And so subsequently, that leads us to the consideration of, is the patient's kidney function able to clear it? And so a lot of frequent lab monitoring, a lot of hydration, supportive care with medications like ursodiol or allopurinol to really improve the ability to clear that cellular waste product so that it doesn't cause an oncologic emergency." TS 34:11

Welcome back to the show. If you're a Christian woman who feels like you're not qualified for what's in front of you, whether that's a health struggle, a calling, or just getting through today, this episode is for you. I recently learned about missionary Gladys Aylward through our homeschool curriculum, and her story stopped me in my tracks. She was rejected. She faced trial after trial. And she kept going back anyway, because serving was the desire God had placed in her heart. In this episode, I walk through her story and connect it to two truths I've been holding onto: God goes with us through our trials, and He gives us the desires of our hearts when we delight in Him. If you're in a season of exhaustion, whether physical, emotional, or spiritual, and you're looking for a faith-based lens to make sense of it, this one's for you. Rejected, But Not Finished Gladys Aylward wasn't the "qualified" candidate. A missionary society turned her down. Instead of giving up, she cleaned houses to save money for a one-way train ticket to China. Her journey was interrupted by war, arrest, and danger before she even arrived. She kept going anyway. Trial After Trial in China Once in China, Gladys took over an inn, became a foot inspector during the era of foot binding, and stopped a prison riot, all while sharing the gospel. She began adopting children, eventually caring for 94 of them during the Japanese invasion of China in World War II. She led those children on a two-week journey on foot across the mountains to safety, with none of them falling sick or dying along the way. Where Faith and Endurance Meet Holistic Health What strikes me most about her story isn't that she avoided hardship. It's that God stayed present with her through every bit of it. That's a pattern I see in the women I work with too: healing rarely means the trial disappears. It means learning to walk through it with your body, mind, and faith aligned instead of working against each other. Two Scriptures Worth Sitting With Joshua 1:9 reminds us that God commands us to be strong and courageous because He is with us wherever we go. Psalm 37:4 reminds us that when we delight ourselves in the Lord, He gives us the desires of our hearts. Gladys's life is a picture of both: she was never spared hardship, but she was never without God's presence in it, and her God-given desire to serve carried her through it. Time-Stamped Highlights 00:00 – Introduction: feeling unqualified and going anyway 00:25 – How the podcast host discovered Gladys Aylward's story through homeschool curriculum 00:53 – Rejected by a missionary society, then saving for a one-way ticket to China 01:22 – War, arrest, and danger on the journey to China 02:20 – Taking over the inn and becoming a foot inspector 03:49 – Stopping a prison riot 04:47 – Adopting children during the Japanese invasion 06:14 – Leading 94 children on foot across the mountains 09:33 – Reflecting on Joshua 1:9 10:03 – Reflecting on Psalm 37:4 and the desires of our hearts 11:55 – Trusting that God withholds nothing good from us (Romans 8:28) Key Takeaways Feeling unqualified isn't a disqualifier. God works through willing hearts, not perfect résumés. Trials don't mean God has left. Scripture promises His presence through them, not exemption from them. The desires God places in your heart are worth paying attention to, even when the path to them is hard. True endurance, whether in faith, health, or calling, comes from staying aligned with God rather than gritting through alone. Healing and growth are rarely instant. They're a process worth walking through with support, not in isolation. Your Next Step, If You're Ready If you're a Christian woman who's exhausted, maybe you feel dismissed by conventional medicine, and you're ready to get to the root cause instead of just managing symptoms, I'd love to talk with you. As an RN with a background inside the pharmaceutical industry, I help women approach exhaustion and autoimmune struggles through a whole-person, faith-rooted approach to holistic health. I'm currently offering a free 15-minute Introductory Call. If you're ready to stop waiting and take a real next step, book your call at herholistichealing.com/call. I don't know how long I'll be offering these calls, so if you're interested, I'd encourage you to grab a spot soon.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when your life looks successful on the outside, but inside you feel anxious, disconnected, ashamed, or exhausted from trying to hold it all together?In this episode of Spiritual Spotlight Series, Rachel Garrett sits down with Meghann Dawson, certified empowerment coach, transformational speaker, host of Becoming Is Messy, and founder of the Unperfect Life Company, for an honest conversation about perfectionism, high-functioning anxiety, trauma healing, nervous system regulation, self-trust, and authentic living.Meghann shares how survival patterns can look like achievement, people-pleasing, over-functioning, and perfectionism—and why the very behaviors that once helped us feel safe can eventually keep us disconnected from ourselves.We explore the powerful turning point Meghann experienced in her daughter's nursery, how she began rebuilding trust with herself, and why healing isn't about becoming a “better” or more polished version of yourself. It's about becoming more honest about who you actually are.You'll also hear how to distinguish intuition from the inner critic, why slowing down can help you hear your own inner knowing, and how modalities including talk therapy, somatic work, body-based healing, and energy healing can support different layers of trauma recovery.Meghann also shares what living an “unperfect life” really means: choosing goals that genuinely belong to you, creating boundaries that protect your peace, releasing the need for approval, and redefining success through authenticity.If you've ever wondered, “Why does my life look fine but not feel like mine?”, this conversation may give you permission to ask a different question:Does my life actually feel true to me?
