Sens. John Cornyn, R-Texas, and Thom Tillis, R-N.C., said Monday they'll back Todd Blanche's confirmation as attorney general after he issued an order rescinding the Justice Department's controversial “anti-weaponization fund,” but critics fear the government could still revive the fund in the future.

Álvaro Pezoa, presidente de Ideas Republicanas, centro de estudios vinculado al Partido Republicano, reconoció que la colectividad por la que fue elegido Kast para asumir la Presidencia "ha llegado al gobierno en solo cinco años de vida y, por momentos, a algunos de sus miembros los domina una excesiva ansiedad. Falta un poco de asentamiento y de madurez para acompañar al Presidente con menos ruidos en los medios. Hay una cierta impaciencia e inmadurez de entender que ya no se es partido de oposición, sino que se es partido de gobierno".Luis Ruz, presidente del directorio de Democracia y Comunidad, centro de estudios de la Democracia Cristiana, planteó que "las derechas tienen un problema de definición, no solamente práctico respecto de la agenda de gobierno, sino también sobre el tipo de sociedad que quieren representar. Comparten un adversario, que es la centroizquierda o la izquierda, pero no comparten un proyecto de sociedad".Rodrigo Ubilla, director del área política del instituto Libertad y Desarrollo, cercano a Renovación Nacional, defendió la postura de la timonel de dicho partido ante la polémica levantada en torno a Codelco: "Yo creo que Andrea Balladares lo dice claramente: ese no es el eje de este gobierno. El eje del gobierno está en los temas que conocemos y en mejorar la situación. Aquí no es que no tengamos una visión; hay un acuerdo de todos los partidos que apoyan al gobierno del Presidente Kast en función de una agenda que él definió para la segunda vuelta: ahí es donde está el esfuerzo".Ricardo Solari, presidente del directorio del Instituto Igualdad, vinculado al Partido Socialista, apuntó a que todas estas descoordinaciones han generado la caída sostenida de la aprobación del Gobierno en las encuestas: "Si uno toma las tres encuestas de ayer y las promedia, ejercicio que se hace habitualmente, la desaprobación está en 58 por ciento y la aprobación en 32 por ciento. Para esto una de las razones es que ha habido una tremenda promesa. Había la promesa de que las cosas iban a cambiar.El Primer Café, con Cecilia Rovaretti.Descubre más contenidos como este en Cooperativapodcast.cl
« Des scènes de chaos, au moins 72 morts et des dizaines de disparus. Ce qui s'est passé ces derniers jours à Ceuta, enclave espagnole bordant le Maroc, est révoltant à plus d'un titre, s'exclame Le Temps à Genève. L'afflux de dizaines de milliers de migrants, en quelques heures, a provoqué interrogations et inquiétudes. Il a surtout déclenché une surenchère politique, nourrie de récupérations, de fake news véhiculées par les réseaux sociaux et de mauvaise foi. Une fois encore, les migrants se retrouvent instrumentalisés et réduits au rang d'arme politique et de moyen de pression diplomatique. » Une surenchère alimentée par « la droite dure européenne, pointe le quotidien suisse, qui a aussitôt agité le spectre d'une "invasion". L'Italie de Meloni s'est empressée de réclamer l'exclusion de l'Espagne de l'espace Schengen, imitée par d'autres responsables politiques. La France a aussi donné dans le registre de la peur, en renforçant ses contrôles aux frontières. » Désespoir… Indignité… « Les partis de droite et d'extrême droite européens n'attendaient que ça, fulmine Libération à Paris : on les a vus arriver avec leurs gros sabots, s'emparant des images d'afflux de migrants à Ceuta jeudi et vendredi, et les instrumentalisant avant que quiconque n'ait eu le temps d'analyser ce qui se passait. En France, le patron du RN, Jordan Bardella, a évoqué "une submersion sans précédent" quand la Première ministre italienne, Giorgia Meloni, réclamait des "mesures extraordinaires" pour défendre les frontières de l'Europe. Si la situation n'était aussi tragique, cela prêterait à sourire, soupire Libération, d'autant que ces migrants sont tous repartis ou presque quand ils ont compris qu'ils avaient été manipulés. Mais personne n'a envie de sourire devant le désespoir de ces jeunes Marocains, devant la centaine de corps rejetés par la mer, et devant l'indignité de ces dirigeants européens qui ont réagi de manière populiste et électoraliste et non humaine et solidaire. Leur premier réflexe, dénonce encore Libération, aurait dû être de voler au secours de l'Espagne ou de s'apitoyer sur la mort de ces exilés volontaires, ados pour beaucoup, qui cherchaient à gagner ce qu'ils croyaient être le paradis. » « La crise de Ceuta a ainsi été le révélateur d'un réflexe d'instrumentalisation et de division, résume Le Monde, là où la gravité et la réalité de la question de l'immigration exigeraient au contraire solidarité et unité. » « Quelque chose a été cassé » En tout cas, cette « crise de Ceuta révèle une fracture européenne », relève Le Soir à Bruxelles. Et « devrait laisser des séquelles importantes, notamment vis-à-vis de la confiance que se portent les États membres de l'Union européenne. Quelque chose a été cassé, à en croire la lettre envoyée par le Premier ministre espagnol Pedro Sánchez à la présidente de la Commission, Ursula von der Leyen. Il y exprime sa "profonde inquiétude" au vu des réactions de ses homologues. Dans ce courrier diffusé samedi, le socialiste dénonce le "très faible soutien" de la part des États membres ainsi que les attaques qu'a essuyées l'Espagne et les appels pour son exclusion temporaire de l'espace de libre circulation Schengen. » Réunion sous tension… C'est dans ce contexte tendu que les ministres de l'Intérieur des membres de l'Union européenne doivent se réunir demain mardi. Et « les divergences s'accentuent », pointe Le Figaro. « Vingt-deux États membres de l'Union européenne ont uni leurs voix dans une coalition hétéroclite, emmenée par Giorgia Meloni et par la sociale-démocrate danoise Mette Frederiksen, coalition qui exige "une réponse européenne immédiate et coordonnée". (…) Parmi les propositions les plus radicales figure (donc) la suspension temporaire de l'Espagne de l'espace Schengen. » Et « Rome entend profiter de cette réunion d'urgence pour remettre (notamment) une proposition sur la table : celle d'un réseau européen de "hubs de retour", des centres de rétention installés dans des pays tiers. Une approche que la France avait déjà torpillée lors du dernier sommet européen. »

"When people with PTSD [post-traumatic stress disorder] get quite avoidant—and that can be expressed in so many different ways—the implications can be really profound. I think an important invitation to oncologists and oncology nurses and primary care providers who care for people battling cancer is let's explore what's underneath these avoidant behaviors. Is it a very practical thing? Or is it that underneath this avoidant behavior is really profound fear?" James C. Jackson, PsyD, research professor at Vanderbilt University Medical Center in Nashville, TN, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about addressing medical trauma in oncology.

They may not avoid the annual evaluation that is so hugely consequential—they might not avoid that. But they may well avoid a routine visit for a checkup to their oncologist. They very well may avoid a visit with a psychologist who is wanting them to talk about hard things. They may avoid visiting a friend in the hospital because it reminds them of really upsetting things. So, this issue of adherence and compliance is a really big problem." TS 3:19 "Screening tools for things like PTSD can be very useful. They're quite practical, and they're appropriate to use. I really like something called the Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder Checklist. ... Using it is going to be very straightforward. You're going to want to map it onto a 30-day window, and you're going to employ it with patients. It's a 20-item self-report. It assesses 20 DSM-5 symptoms of PTSD. It's not diagnostic, but if people score in this range of 30, 31, 33, we typically are going to believe that that is very suggestive of significant PTSD." TS 9:17 "One of the things we should be doing all the time is modeling and attempting to normalize this idea of being open about mental health difficulties. When I say modeling, this is a complicated issue. ... I'm very open talking about my own battles with mental health. And in some ways, that invites my patients to do the same. I don't recommend necessarily that a nurse says, 'Oh, by the way, I have PTSD. I'm going to tell you about mine. I want you to tell me about yours.' That's a boundary issue. But I think it does behoove us as clinicians to create a culture as much as we're able, where we can talk about mental health difficulties in a matter-of-fact way, acknowledging that mental health is health. These tools, to me, go a long way in that direction." TS 13:41 "The survivorship process is ongoing. I think a nurse can assist a patient in so many ways longitudinally over time. ... One of those ways is to continue checking on mental health outcomes in patients. Continuing to check on mental health outcomes, continuing to explore them, and continuing to invite patients to talk about things that other people might not be asking about. It's easy for family members to assume, 'Hey, you know, you're cancer free now. You look fine, so you must be fine.' It's very possible that the patients we're talking about are not fine. They're far from fine. For that oncology nurse at a follow-up clinic or in an oncology setting to talk about this, continuing to affirm that it would be okay for patients to struggle, continuing to put this issue on a front burner—I think that's really important." TS 21:17 "I'm aware of nurse-led support groups where nurses can talk very freely about their own challenges, in a safe space. ... Working to build cultures in the context of the intensive care unit, let's say, where we have a lot of patients with cancer that prioritize well-being nurse driven programs. ... The bottom line is if there is a warning light that is blinking, nurses need to attend to that. And in attending to it, they're going to be more present for their patient. They're going to be better able to support their patient. They're going to be better able to support each other. And I think often, in the culture of nursing and psychology, too, people just put their head down, their shoulder down, and they just plow through in ways that are really counter to their mental health." TS 29:56 "The truth is medical trauma can be well-managed. It's not simple. It's not always intuitive. There are all sorts of caveats with regard to this, but the truth is people with medical trauma can live really rich and meaningful lives. ... So, the default setting, I think, should be not one of pessimism. It should be that people with medical trauma can and do get better. If you are a patient with medical trauma and you are in my purview, until proven differently, I'm going to assume that you can get better too." TS 36:28

Send us Fan MailYour next piece of guidance might not be a sign in the sky. It might be the way your shoulders tense, the way your belly drops, or the way your whole body exhales when you finally tell the truth.We're closing out the July mini series with a simple idea that changes everything: your nervous system is a spiritual antenna. When we stop reaching so far outside ourselves for confirmation, we can hear the wisdom that's been communicating all along through expansion, contraction, fatigue, relief, excitement, and that unmistakable body no. Spiritual connection isn't only about the crown chakra or a “cosmic hotline” it also lives in your heart, your breath, your belly, and the quiet moments where you choose not to abandon yourself.We talk about what spiritual growth looks like when it's real life sized: pausing before reacting, resting before you collapse, setting boundaries without overexplaining, and releasing shame around needing support. We also explore why intuition often isn't loud. Sometimes it feels like ease. Sometimes it's a gentle pull that keeps returning. Sometimes it's repetition asking to be honored, and you don't have to force clarity to prove it's true.You'll leave with three reflection questions to help you integrate nervous system regulation, somatic awareness, and intuitive guidance as everyday practices, plus a reminder that peace is something you tend through small returns to yourself.

The NHS became the world's first health system to commit to reaching net zero emissions in October 2020. But bold national commitments only become reality through the people doing the work at the point of care. In this Insight from Episode 104: Practicing Green Health, Emma Pascale Blakey, PhD, RN, Nurse Lead for Sustainability at NHS England, makes the case that nurses and midwives have a valuable perspective as researchers and scientists in this equation, and they are an invaluable resource when it comes to sustainability solutions. From drones delivering chemotherapy to the Isle of Wight, to health visitors cycling between family visits, to clinical procurement nurses influencing what equipment gets ordered, nurses are leading the way when it comes to sustainability.

The Nurses Report on America Out Loud with Melissa Schreibfeder, BSN, RN, BC-FMP – As chronic disease continues to rise, many believe our healthcare system has lost sight of what it truly means to heal. By embracing an increasingly secular approach to medicine, has healthcare neglected the importance of the soul, our relationship with our Creator, and the biblical principles that support whole-person healing?
Fantasy protagonists are highly prone to getting stabbed, sliced, impaled, poisoned, bonked on the head, dropped off cliffs, and otherwise wounded. Which means they need someone to patch them up! So who does that in your invented world, and how do they learn to do it? Guest Jesse Aragon joins us to discuss emergency medicine and other issues of healing. How much reality can you -- and should you -- bring into the medical components of your world? Waving a wand and curing all ills is easy, but potentially unsatisfying, but on the other hand, our heroes can rarely spare six months away from their Quest to let bones knit or infections pass. So just how much magic -- or sci-fi technology -- can you bring in to smooth the process along, and how do you make those things fit in with the rest of your world? Are there medical schools, or do you learn in a master-apprentice type system? How much experimentation is there? How well do your characters understand the real workings of the human body? And, most importantly: How do you get plot hooks out of it? [Transcript TK] Our Guest: Jesse Aragon* is a writer of sci-fi and fantasy, usually both at the same time. Her work features morally complicated protagonists, horror, tragedy, the numinous, and deep dives into the darkest, messiest parts of human nature. She grew up overseas, and “home” for her is everywhere from Brussels, Belgium to Albuquerque, New Mexico. She has a Psychology BA, an EMT-I license, and a BSN. She has been an usher, a cashier, a server, a home health aide, an EMT, an ER tech, and a trauma RN—her jobs have consistently been much stranger than any fiction she writes. When she's not writing, she enjoys weightlifting, video games, and horror movies. She loves cats, green chiles, and UFO lore. Her debut novel, THE DEMON STAR, is forthcoming from DAW/Astra in July 2026! *Yes, this is a real name. No, it has nothing to do with Lord of the Rings. No, she is not (so far as she knows) a descendant of Catherine of Aragon. It is a very common surname for people of Hispanic descent in Mexico and the Southwestern US.

Send Audrey a Text to get your question answered on the showLevamisole has become one of the most talked-about adjunct therapies for Equine Protozoal Myeloencephalitis (EPM), but should horse owners and practitioners be asking more questions? In this episode, Audrey McLaughlin, RN, MSN, Board-Certified Traditional Naturopath and equine nutrition practitioner, explores how working in both human and equine health reveals important crossover insights. We discuss why some veterinarians use levamisole for EPM, how it may influence the immune system, the recent European withdrawal of human levamisole products following concerns about inflammatory white matter disease, and what that does—and does not—mean for horses. You'll also learn about Th1 immunity, medicinal herbs like astragalus and andrographis, beta-glucans, and why optimizing nutrition and immune resilience may be just as important as immune stimulation. This episode is a balanced, evidence-informed discussion designed to help horse owners and equine professionals ask better questions about EPM treatment—not to replace veterinary care.

Well, it may be cyclosporiasis that is spreading throughout the country. HealthCetera producer and host Dr. Diana J. Mason, RN, talks with Dr. Luis Marcos, MD, a Professor of Medicine in the Renaissance School of Medicine at the State University of New York at Stony Brook and Director for the Infectious Diseases Fellowship Program at Stony Brook Medicine about cyclosporiasis, itssymptoms and treatment, and how to prevent it.

Photo by Hakan Nural on Unsplash The misinformation and disinformation about vaccines has been on the rise, particularly since the COVID pandemic and, more recently, since Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. assumed the position of U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services in the Trump Administration. KFF is a nonprofit health policy research, polling and news organization that recently conducted a national poll to look at whether the public has embraced myths about vaccines that are based on this misinformation. HealthCetera producer and host Diana J. Mason, PhD, RN, discusses the poll and its findings with Alex Montero, PhD, Senior Survey Analyst for Public Opinion and Survey Research at KFF.

Photo by Marlon Lara on Unsplash Stigma surrounding substance use disorders (SUD), including addictions, is a major barrier to people seeking treatment. Many healthcare providers can also consciously or unconsciously contribute to the stigma that people with SUDs may feel, including through the language they use, images, and how they treat their patients. Addictions are physiological states, not flaws in one’s character. While we seldom treat people with insulin-dependent diabetes with disdain, we are not as likely to try to rid ourselves of stigmatizing language or behaviors when working with people with SUDs. HealthCetera producer and host, Diana J. Mason, RN, talks with Beth Rutkowski, an Epidemiologist and Director of Training for the UCLA Integrated Substance Use and Addiction Programs, and Co-Director of the Pacific Southwest Addiction Technology Transfer Center, about the evidence confirming that stigma around SUD is prevalent and harmful, as well as how to help clinicians, family members, friends, healthcare providers, and even the people with SUDs themselves to reduce and eliminate stigma.

Photo by Kristine Wook on Unsplash HR.1, the One Big Beautiful Bill Act that Donald Trump signed into law a year ago, cuts Medicaid and the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) funding substantially and makes changes in the Affordable Care Act's insurance coverage such that an estimated that over 10 million people will become uninsured and millions more becoming food insecure from cuts to or termination of their SNAP benefits. But these cuts affect all of us, as hospitals and other health care organizations will lose revenue that they need to support offering services that communities need. This is such an issue in rural communities that some of these hospitals may close. In response to this concern, Congress created the Rural Health Transformation Program (RHTP) to bring money to health care in rural communities. HealthCetera producer and host, Dr. Diana J. Mason, RN, talked about these cuts with Dr. Leighton Ku, Professor in the Deptment of Health Policy and Management and Director of the Center for Health Policy Research at the Milken Institute School of Public Health at George Washington University. He and his colleagues conducted an analysis of what the impact of HR 1 cuts would be on rural communities and whether the RHTP would offset the losses from Medicaid and insurance coverage through the Affordable Care Act. The paper is titled “H.R. 1 Funding Cuts Will Overshadow Gains from the New Rural Health Transformation Program” and it was published on June 9, 2026, by The Commonwealth Fund.

"In oncology specifically, where care is complex, artificial intelligence (AI) can really synthesize large volumes of clinical information, flag risks such as treatment complications, and support adherence to evidence-based pathways. For nurses specifically, this enables them more time for direct patient care, clinical judgment, and care coordination, and really practice to the top of their license while reducing repetitive time and administrative tasks," Jenn Frith, DNP, RN, OCN®, NE-BC, associate vice president of clinical operations at Duke Cancer Institute in Durham, NC, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS. Weimer spoke with Frith and Emily Norboge, director of clinical and research informatics at Duke Cancer Institute, about how AI can help healthcare organizations improve the cancer experience.

If a patient needs help with medical paperwork, the agent will walk the patient through how to do that paperwork. If a patient has a question that they need sent to their provider, it can document that and then send a message to the provider. There's a series of workflows so it can route to scheduling. It can answer information about test results that is compliant with our policy around test results. The goal of that agent is that it will handle all of those administrative-type tasks that don't necessarily require a nurse to fill." TS 5:44 Norboge: "When [patients] call the nurse triage line, the nurse will have to say, 'I understand you want your test results. I can contact your provider and have them reach out to you about your results.' But that's kind of where it ends. What we worked out with the agent is if a patient calls and says, 'I really want my test results,' they will in a very nice, standard way, say something similar. You know, 'I'm not authorized to discuss your test results with you, but I'd be happy to send a message to your provider and ask them to call you.' But then the agent goes one step further and says, 'Are you experiencing anxiety about your test results? If so, I can transfer you to the nurse to discuss support for a potential referral to family medical therapy if you would like help managing that anxiety.' In a clear, helpful way, it can define and help a patient with their needs and not just have a standard of 'this is our policy and I can't share it with you.'" TS 11:14 Frith: "Really, transparency is the key. The patient should understand that AI is used more as an enhancement, but not to replace the human connection. That's not the goal. The nurses can explain that the tools will help ensure accuracy, timeliness, and safety while allowing more time for the direct interaction of the nurse. I think framing AI as an additional layer of support rather than a decision maker helps build trust. And I think maintaining strong communication and presence at the bedside just reinforces that care remains fundamentally human." TS 15:32 Frith: "I think AI in oncology is going to continue to advance in our predictive analytics, personal care planning, and probably real-time decision support. I think we'll see a greater integration into symptom management, some early detection of complications, and longitudinal care coordination across our settings. I think nurses will continue to increasingly use AI to anticipate patient needs and prioritize care. I think the role of the nurse won't diminish. Rather, it will become more elevated in allowing them to practice to scope of practice." TS 19:58 Frith: "AI represents a meaningful opportunity to strengthen oncology nursing practice by reducing burden and enhancing the clinical insight. It needs to be a very thoughtful implementation. We talked about having strong governance and continued investment in the nursing workforce. I want to reinforce that oncology care remains deeply human, and AI should only be viewed as a tool that enables the nurses to do what they do best, which I feel is deliver safe, compassionate, and high-quality specialized care to our most vulnerable patients." TS 27:31

They discuss the importance of curiosity, collaboration, honest conversations about complications, and being willing to learn from providers who approach care differently.They also explore why stronger research is so important in this field, including emerging work related to tongue posture, whole-body function, aftercare, reattachment, measurable outcomes, and whether tongue ties should be released when feeding and function are going well.The conversation concludes with a discussion of telehealth and how virtual care can connect families with specialized providers, expand access beyond their local communities, and help parents become active participants in assessing and supporting their babies.In this episode:How podcasting and travel helped Katie build a wider professional networkWhy learning outside our local and professional “bubbles” mattersWhat makes ICAP's interdisciplinary and international approach uniqueThe value of discussing complications and imperfect outcomes openlyHow emerging research may shape tongue tie assessment and aftercareWhy providers need to remain curious and willing to change their practicesThe advantages and limitations of virtual lactation and tongue tie careConnect with Katie at cuddlesandmilk.com and listen to her podcast, Katie the Traveling LC.More from Tongue Tie ExpertsExplore additional resources, including downloads, free guides, and links mentioned in this episode—along with access to our courses and new book:
Send us Fan MailIf you've been saying “I feel blocked” or “I can't hear my guides,” consider a simpler possibility: your intuition isn't gone, your nervous system is just overloaded. We're pulling the spotlight off spiritual self doubt and putting it on what's actually happening in your body when life gets too loud. When you're flooded with input, pressure, scrolling, and nonstop responsibilities, your inner guidance can get buried under static even when you're deeply connected. We break down how overwhelm can distort the signal so you start mistaking fear for intuition, urgency for alignment, anxiety for a sign, or shutdown for peace. Then we bring it back to what works: grounding your nervous system before you ask for the next answer. You'll hear simple, practical grounding techniques you can do anywhere feet on the floor, slow breaths, naming what you see, water and nourishment, a hand on your heart, and a steady reminder that you're safe right now. No complicated rituals required. We also share easy intention prompts to support healing and help you reconnect with your body as a real part of your spiritual practice, plus reflection questions to figure out what's overwhelming your system and what you need less of today.

We're joined by first-time guest Lacey W. Heinsberg, PhD, RN, on this week's episode of the Faculty Factory Podcast to examine many of the ethical considerations surrounding the widespread use of generative AI tools (ChatGPT, Google Gemini, Claude, etc.). Dr. Heinsberg is Assistant Professor of Health Promotion & Development in the School of Nursing, and of Human Genetics in the School of Public Health, at the University of Pittsburgh. She also serves as Co-Director of the Genomics of Patient Outcomes HUB in the School of Nursing. It feels difficult to opt out of using generative AI without there being serious consequences to our careers, yet as we learn in today's episode, it's a deeply personal choice whether to use it and how much to use it. Personal Code of Conduct Dr. Heinsberg created her own personal code of conduct about using generative AI and discussed this in the interview today. Some of its themes include: "Enhance it, don't replace it" and staying aligned with her own institution's AI use policy. There is almost a certain slippery slope facing us all when it comes to an overreliance on generative AI. Writing is thinking, so if AI is writing for us, are we thinking more deeply? Is this harming our critical thinking? "When does trust but verify become ‘why bother using it at all?", she said. Broaching Tough Questions No one has all the answers to this, but it is important to be discussing this with your teams and to embrace these tough questions. Other recurring themes in this episode include: Authenticity. Integrity. Transparency (and where the line is between ghostwriting and flat-out generation of unoriginal text). If you're not sure where to get started on your code of conduct policies, or if you have any other questions, you can reach out to her directly via email: law145@pitt.edu.

If the healthcare sector were a country, it would be the fifth largest carbon emitter on the planet. Yet sustainability remains one of the most underdeveloped strategies in healthcare leadership. In this Insight from Episode 104: Practicing Green Health, Shanda Demorest, DNP, RN, PHN, formerly the Senior Director of Network Experience & Solutions at Practice Greenhealth, makes the case that embedding sustainability into healthcare operations and culture is not a separate agenda; it is a patient safety, health equity, and workforce issue all at once. She offers three clear strategies for healthcare leaders ready to act: identify the right channels of appeal to move leadership, engage communities as true partners rather than passive recipients, and mobilize nurses, who are uniquely positioned to lead this work from the inside out. If you know a healthcare professional whose work reflects grit, innovation, or extraordinary care—or if that story is your own—we encourage you to apply for the TIME Healthcare Champion of the Year, in partnership with Johnson & Johnson, a branded award.

Carl Jung called it “an acausal connecting principle” — but for Dan Ross, a Jungian analyst working in hospice care, synchronicity isn’t just theoretical. In this episode, Dan reveals what thirty years of end-of-life work taught him about Jung’s most misappropriated theory, its roots in Jung’s relationship with physicist Wolfgang Pauli, and why studying synchronicity seems to produce more of it. This episode is rich with poignant examples blended that will leave you thinking differently about how synchronicity works in your own life. Daniel Ross, RN, PMHNP, MSN, MBA has been a nurse for 40 years and in hospice for over 30.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Alder Allensworth as guest to the show. About Alder Allensworth, MM, RN: 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 Program (MMAP): The Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Program (MMAP) is a family-centered, multimedia educational program with an online community component designed to help parents, children, educators, and healthcare professionals navigate the challenges of Alzheimer's disease. Created especially for families in the "sandwich generation," it provides practical tools, guidance, and meaningful activities that support positive interactions between children and loved ones living with Alzheimer's from diagnosis through the severe stage. The program helps children and their families stay meaningfully connected throughout the journey. At the heart of the program is the Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Awareness Program (MMAAP), a 5-video educational series covering each stage of the disease, along with guidance for adults raising children while caregiving. The program also includes a quick reference guide, transcripts, and accessible audio and visual resources to support a wide range of learning needs. Importantly, the MMAAP helps children understand Alzheimer's in age-appropriate ways and gives them simple, meaningful activities they can do with their loved one to maintain connection and nurture the relationship. Complementing the video series is the Mackenzie Meets Alzheimer's Disease Picture Book, a gentle, child-friendly introduction to Alzheimer's. The book follows a young girl learning how to understand and connect with her grandmother as the disease progresses. It includes a QR code for a free Story Song download whose lyrics are the text for the book—making the learning experience engaging, memorable, and accessible for young children and early readers. The complete MMAP is also a valuable resource for Adult Day Centers and Memory Care Communities, offering a ready-to-run educational program for families. It helps answer common questions proactively, reducing the need for staff to repeatedly provide the same explanations. This allows them to focus more on care and connection. Together, the program and book go beyond education—they empower families to create meaningful moments, maintain connection, and build positive memories throughout the course of Alzheimer's and other dementias.
