As athletes, we all know what pre-race anxiety feels like. The difference between elite athletes and those still finding their stride isn't that they don't experience nervousness—they feel it just as much as we do. But they've learned to frame it differently. Coach Steve Magness says it best: "Elite athletes don't feel less anxiety before competition. They feel the same tight chest, sweaty palms, racing heart, and butterflies that the rest of us do. The difference? They've trained themselves to interpret those sensations differently." This shift—from seeing nervousness as a threat to seeing it as a challenge—is where the magic happens. Research shows that high performers don't experience less stress—they just frame it better. Rather than trying to eliminate that anxious feeling, they embrace it, knowing it's a sign that they're ready to rise. Nerves aren't the enemy. In fact, they're your body's way of saying, “You care. Something meaningful is about to happen.” So, instead of running from it, lean into it. Understand that those nerves are helping you prepare, keeping you sharp, and sharpening your focus. They're not a sign of weakness—they're a sign of strength. We can often think that nervousness means something is wrong or that we're not prepared enough. But the reality is, it means you do care. It means your mind and body are ready for the challenge ahead. The goal isn't to eliminate the nerves, it's to work with them. See them as fuel, not fear. Feel them, acknowledge them, and let them guide you forward. When you feel those pre-race jitters, remind yourself: You're about to do something meaningful. Action item: Next time those race-day nerves hit, don't push them away. Instead, breathe into them. Let them be the signal that you're ready for the challenge. Harness that energy to fuel your focus, and remember, those butterflies are pushing you toward greatness. Ready to learn how to channel that energy? Clear the Mechanism and Rise Above Nervousness before a race can feel overwhelming. But how do you take that energy and channel it into focus instead of letting it distract you? The answer lies in a simple but powerful mindset technique from For the Love of the Game, where Kevin Costner's character, a seasoned pitcher, uses the phrase “Clear the mechanism.” This technique isn't just for baseball—it's something every triathlete can use. When the nerves start to flood your mind, and you feel like you're about to be overwhelmed by the noise, distractions, and pressure, the key is to clear the mechanism. When you clear the mechanism, you're intentionally blocking out everything that isn't directly related to the task at hand. It's like hitting the reset button, shifting your focus from the fear and doubt to the one thing you can control: your next move. Whether it's your swim stroke, your pedal cadence, or your run stride, you zoom in on that one thing and let everything else fade away. Coach Steve Magness reminds us that nerves aren't the enemy—they're a sign that you care, that your body is getting ready. But we can use those nerves to fuel us, not flood us. And just like the pitcher who needs to block out the crowd, the score, and the noise, as a triathlete, you can clear out the mental clutter and focus on what's in front of you. Here's how to apply it: When the nerves hit, take a deep breath, and clear the mechanism. Shut down the distractions, the what-ifs, and the self-doubt. Focus on your next step—the one thing you can control right now. Maybe it's your breath, your form, or the rhythm of your movement. Acknowledge the nerves, then let them guide you forward, not pull you under. By clearing your mental space, you give yourself permission to focus on the task, to be fully present, and to perform at your best. It's not about eliminating the nerves; it's about making them work for you instead of against you. Action item: Before your next race or workout, practice clearing the mechanism. When you feel overwhelmed, mentally shut out everything except for the next task at hand. Clear the mechanism, focus on your breath, and take control of the moment. You've trained for this. Let the nerves fuel your focus and guide you to greatness. TriDot Workout of the Week: Strength Recovery Week Training - Strength Strength training is a crucial yet often overlooked component of triathlon preparation. Exercises like reverse lunges, single-leg deadlifts, and quadruped band kickbacks help build unilateral strength and stability, which are essential for efficient running and injury prevention. Core-focused movements such as plank reaches, V-ups, and half-kneeling rotations enhance balance, posture, and power transfer across all three disciplines. Functional exercises like burpees and cross-pull lawnmowers improve overall athleticism, coordination, and cardiovascular resilience. Together, these movements not only boost muscular endurance and joint integrity but also help triathletes maintain form under fatigue, reduce injury risk, and ultimately perform more consistently across swim, bike, and run segments. Rotate 1-3x through the following exercises doing 10-20 repetitions or 30 to 60 sec efforts of each. Reverse Lunge Single Leg Deadlifts Half-Kneeling Rotation Plank Reaches Cross Pulls Lawnmower Burpees V Ups One leg Quadruped Band Kickbacks Fun Segment: Trail Fail or Win! It's time for Trail Fail or Trail Win! — the game where we throw out some wild off-road triathlon scenarios, and Rich and I decide: was this a total disaster… or a sneaky success in disguise? Some of these could be race-ending nightmares—or just epic stories waiting to happen. Let's find out! Scenario 1: The Wild Animal Detour Mid-race, a deer darts across the trail and you crash while trying to avoid it. You roll into the bushes, get back on your feet, and still finish 3rd in your age group—leaves and twigs in your helmet included. Scenario 2: The Wrong-Turn Bonus Miles You miss a poorly marked turn on the trail run, add nearly 1.5 miles to your race, and come in well over your expected time. But… you didn't quit and still finished smiling. Scenario 3: The Creek Shoe Sacrifice You nail the bike leg and enter the run feeling great… until you sink into a muddy creek crossing and one of your shoes stays behind. You finish the run with one barefoot foot. Scenario 4: Transition Tent Tantrum Your gear bag somehow ends up in someone else's spot. You panic, yell a few expletives, throw your hands up—and then remember your gear is on the other side of the rack. You recover… barely. Scenario 5: The Mid-Race Snack Catastrophe You reach for your trail mix on the bike—your new homemade “clean fuel”—and spill it all over your top tube. The rest of the ride, you're being followed by bees. You still PR the course! So whether you're dodging wildlife, losing shoes in creeks, or baiting bees with your snacks, remember—off-road triathlon isn't just a race. It's an adventure. Keep sending us your crazy scenarios, or better yet—live them. And we'll see you next time on Trail Fail or Win! Closing: Thanks again for listening this week. Please be sure to follow us @303Triathlon and @grit2greatnessendurance and of course go to iTunes and give us a rating and a comment. We'd really appreciate it!

https://jo.my/nsnvsq Ergonomics & Injury Prevention: Avoiding Repetitive Motion Strains Repetitive motion injuries are among the most common hazards in today's facilities. These injuries can creep up slowly, often unnoticed, until pain or discomfort interferes with daily tasks. They affect muscles, tendons, and nerves, often in the hands, wrists, shoulders, neck, and back. Whether lifting, scanning, reaching, or typing, repeating the same motion for hours can cause long-term damage if not addressed. A strong safety culture prioritizes identifying these risks early and taking steps to reduce strain before it turns into injury. Preventing repetitive motion injuries isn't just about comfort—it's about protecting long-term health, maintaining productivity, and supporting team members so they can perform safely and effectively throughout their shift. Here are a few tips to assist you with reducing strains from repetitive motion: Rotate tasks frequently: Switching between tasks breaks your body from repeated motions. It allows different muscle groups to work while others recover. Take microbreaks: Short breaks—30 seconds to 2 minutes—can make a big difference. Stretch, shake out your arms, and reset your posture. These simple actions can help prevent fatigue and reduce tension. Incorporate stretching: Daily pre-shift and mid-shift stretches help warm up muscles and maintain flexibility. Focus on the most used areas, like the wrists, shoulders, and lower back. Use ergonomic equipment: Choose tools that reduce force and vibration. Padded grips, adjustable workstations, and anti-fatigue mats help minimize physical stress. Keep a steady pace: Working too fast increases the risk of injury. Stay mindful of your movements and avoid rushing, especially with repetitive tasks. Proactively managing repetitive motion hazards builds a safer and more sustainable work environment. When people feel good physically, they work more comfortably and confidently. Encouraging proper body mechanics, providing ergonomic tools, and building rest into the day shows a facility's commitment to its team. Strain-related injuries can be avoided with simple, consistent practices. Ensure everyone understands the risks and the steps they can take to protect themselves and others. Over time, these efforts reduce incidents and build a stronger, more injury-resistant workforce. Thank you for being part of another episode of Warehouse Safety Tips.

Hey, hey, Workday Playdate peeps! It's time for your quick bite of leadership wisdom—a little boost of inspiration, energy, and of course, playfulness to brighten your workday. Today, we're talking about one of the most underrated leadership tools: humor. That's right—if you want to build connection, trust, and motivation within your team, you don't need a corporate retreat or a 100-slide deck. Sometimes, all it takes is a well-placed joke, a moment of levity, or the courage to not take yourself too seriously. Want to add more fun to your leadership style? Try this improv-inspired game: The Mis-Translation Game Pick a ‘translator' and a ‘speaker.' The ‘speaker' delivers a serious workplace announcement—but in complete gibberish. Example: “Gloobity blop floo fandango periwinkle!” The ‘translator' must confidently ‘interpret' what was just said. Example: “Ah yes, that means today's meeting will be catered by an army of penguins!” Rotate roles and let the laughter flow. Why does this work? Because it helps teams embrace the unknown, think on their feet, and find joy in the unexpected. And a team that laughs together? That's a team that trusts each other. Take it further: Reflect on a leader who used humor to inspire you. What did they do? What's one way you can bring more humor into your leadership style this week? How can you create an environment where your team feels safe to have fun? And don't forget—next up, we're going even deeper with JaMarr Johnson, the "Entrepremedian" who helps leaders use humor to build stronger workplace cultures. You don't want to miss it! Journal Prompt: Who on your team might be feeling unheard? What's one small way you can make space for their voice this week? Write it down—and take action. If you're interested in taking one small action right now, you can check out our newest freebie, The Empathy Cheat Sheet here.

Chris Vermeulen warns investors to expect a "pretty big" market correction sometime this year. He believes correction concerns can be seen in a rotation out of Nvidia (NVDA) ahead of its earnings. Chris makes the bear case for gold by saying "most upside is done" for metals. Small caps are another corner of the market he thinks bulls should steer clear of as the Russell 2000 trades in negative territory so far in 2025.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Subscribe to the Market Minute newsletter - https://schwabnetwork.com/subscribeDownload the iOS app - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/schwab-network/id1460719185Download the Amazon Fire Tv App - https://www.amazon.com/TD-Ameritrade-Network/dp/B07KRD76C7Watch on Sling - https://watch.sling.com/1/asset/191928615bd8d47686f94682aefaa007/watchWatch on Vizio - https://www.vizio.com/en/watchfreeplus-exploreWatch on DistroTV - https://www.distro.tv/live/schwab-network/Follow us on X – https://twitter.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on Facebook – https://www.facebook.com/schwabnetworkFollow us on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/schwab-network/About Schwab Network - https://schwabnetwork.com/about

Back to Basics: Power/Energy - Ep 228 Quick Series Overview Back to Basics Series: A 12-part series covering essential preparedness topics to build a strong survival foundation. This Episode: Focused on power and energy preparedness — what options are available, how to use them, and tips for building redundancy in your energy systems. Episode Highlights Why Power Matters: Power keeps critical devices running, provides light, warmth, and communication, and helps maintain safety and comfort during an emergency. Alternative Power Sources: Generators: Gas, propane, and solar generators — choosing the right type for your needs. Solar Power: Panels, portable chargers, and solar-powered generators for off-grid energy. Battery Backup: Portable power banks and larger systems like Goal Zero for devices and small appliances. Fuel Storage and Management: Safely store gas, propane, or diesel with proper containers and ventilation. Rotate fuel stockpiles regularly to avoid degradation. Tips for extending the life of your fuel supply. Low-Tech Solutions: Hand-crank radios, lanterns, and flashlights for emergencies. Simple DIY solar setups for charging essential devices. Thermal solutions like candles or portable heaters for warmth. Energy Conservation Tips: Prioritize power usage for critical needs (lights, communication, medical devices). Use energy-efficient appliances to extend the life of your backup systems. Implement blackout curtains or insulation to reduce heating or cooling energy demands. Building Redundancy: Layered power systems with multiple backups (generator, solar, batteries). Plan for short-term outages and long-term grid failures. Regularly test and maintain your equipment to ensure functionality when needed. Takeaway: Power preparedness isn't just about generators — it's about having a well-rounded plan that includes alternative sources, proper fuel storage, and conservation strategies. Challenge: Evaluate your power preparedness this week — do you have enough backups? What's your plan for an extended outage? Take steps to build redundancy and confidence in your energy systems.

When it comes to versatile, stylish and practical clothing, few things can compete with the ever-popular hoodie. And if you're a traveler — especially someone who frequents magical destinations like Disney parks or other unforgettable places — graphic hoodies are more than just a cozy staple, they're an essential part of your travel wardrobe. Wardrobe Game-Changer: Nine Reasons Why Graphic Hoodies are the Ultimate Style HackWhy a Collection of Graphic Hoodies in Your Wardrobe is Better than OneThe nine things you haven't considered when it comes to the humble hoodieWhile owning one graphic hoodie might seem like it's enough, let's look at why having a small collection of graphic hoodies is not just a fashion statement, but also a very functional and fun way to enhance your vacation style and comfort.1. Style That Matches the Mood and DestinationDisney travelers in particular know that your outfit should reflect the magic of your day, whether it's strolling down Main Street, hopping on your favorite ride, or capturing Instagram-worthy moments in front of Cinderella Castle. Each hoodie in your collection should tell a different story.Having a hoodie collection means you can:Rotate hoodies to match the mood or theme of your day (perfect for Disney parks or other destinations where each area has its own vibe).Pair a hoodie with different outfits for fresh looks, whether it's a travel morning at the airport or an evening watching fireworks by the castle.Stay comfortable in varying weather conditions—hoodies layer well with jackets in colder climates or provide just the right amount of warmth during a breezy evening.Having multiple options ensures you're always dressed for the occasion while staying comfortable.2. Functionality for Every Kind of WeatherGraphic hoodies are the ultimate travel companion because they're versatile. With a hoodie collection, you can really cover all bases:Lightweight hoodies are perfect for warmer days or layering during chilly mornings.Fleece-lined hoodies keep you cozy during colder months or in overly air-conditioned shops, buses or planes.Oversized hoodies offer a relaxed fit for long travel days or lounging at your hotel.Even in a light rain or the start of a rain shower, a hoodie is a great item to have—pull up the hood and head for cover.By ensuring your wardrobe has different hoodie types and styles, you'll always have the perfect hoodie for the forecast, no matter where your adventures take you.3. Practicality Meets PersonalityYour wardrobe reflects your personality and a variety of hoodies lets you showcase different facets of who you are. Whether you're channeling your inner magic or proudly sporting designs inspired by your favorite travel destinations, your collection can serve as a wearable scrapbook of your passions and adventures.Plus, graphic hoodies are conversation starters. A fellow Disney traveler might notice your subtle Disney hoodie and strike up a conversation, making your travels even more memorable.4. Stay Fresh on Long TripsLet's face it—travel can be messy. From the inevitable coffee spill on a flight, to dripping ice cream in the heat of a ride line, having just one hoodie on hand isn't always practical. A collection of unique hoodies allows you to rotate through styles, so you always look (and feel) fresh without overloading your suitcase.5. Collect Memories, Not Just HoodiesMany graphic hoodies are designed to commemorate experiences or are inspired by events or activities. A hoodie purchased to celebrate your first park visit, another from a beloved travel destination, and one featuring your favorite travel mantra can all serve as keepsakes. Over time, your collection becomes a reflection of your journeys and the memories you've made.6. Practically Perfect for TravelersTravelers know the importance of packing wisely. Graphic hoodies serve as the ultimate travel companion for several reasons:Versatility: They work for multiple occasions, from a morning coffee run to an adventurous theme park day.Cozy for transit: Whether you're on a plane, train or bus, a hoodie doubles as an extra layer or even a makeshift pillow.Photogenic: Hoodies with unique designs make your travel photos pop, ensuring your memories are as stylish as they are magical.When you own a collection of several different hoodies, you'll always have a hoodie ready for your next adventure, perfectly suited to the destination and experience.7. Versatility Beyond TravelFor the record, your hoodies don't have to stay in the suitcase. They're just as perfect for running errands at home, grabbing coffee with friends, or relaxing with a beverage and snacks to watch a movie. A collection of hoodies ensures you're not always grabbing the same hoodie, which keeps your wardrobe fresh and fun.8. A Hoodie for Every MemoryDo you attach sentimental value to any pieces of clothing? A collection of graphic hoodies allows you to attach sentimental value to each one. One hoodie might remind you of your first visit to Disneyland, while another brings back memories of a whirlwind European trip. Each design tells a story, and over time, your collection becomes a wearable memory wall of your adventures.And the best part? You can relive those memories every time you slip one on, whether you're lounging at home or exploring a new destination.9. A Hoodie for Every Member of the FamilyIf you're traveling with friends or family, coordinating hoodies can be a fun way to add a little magic to your adventure. Matching tees are one thing, but picture your group sporting matching Disney-inspired hoodies or each person. They don't have to be all the same, but within the same theme or color. It's a fun, easy way to bring the travel party together and stand out in classic vacation photos.Ready to Build Your Hoodie Collection?A single graphic hoodie is great, but a collection? That's where the magic truly happens. With multiple options from graphics to color, you'll never be stuck with a single look or vibe. Instead, you'll have the freedom to express yourself, celebrate your travels and stay comfortable no matter where your adventures take you.At 1923 Main Street, we specialize in graphic hoodies that cater to Disney travelers and adventure travelers alike.

Back to Basics: Food - Ep 227 Quick Series Overview Back to Basics Series: A 12-part series covering essential preparedness topics to build a strong survival foundation. This Episode: Focused on food preparedness — what to store, how much, and the best ways to store it. Episode Highlights Why Food Matters: Food fuels your body and brain, keeps morale high, and helps you stay sharp during a crisis. How Much Food You Need: Short-Term: At least 2 weeks' worth of food for each family member (2,000 calories/day). Mid-Term: Build up to 3–6 months of staples like rice, beans, pasta, and canned goods. Long-Term: Aim for 1 year of food — include freeze-dried meals, bulk grains, and preserved foods. Types of Food to Store: Short-Term: Canned soups, granola bars, and pasta for quick, easy meals. Mid-Term: Bulk staples like rice, oats, beans, and powdered milk in food-grade buckets. Long-Term: Freeze-dried meals in #10 cans, dehydrated fruits, and vacuum-sealed snacks for variety. Storage Tips: Store in cool, dry, dark places — avoid garages or sheds. Use mylar bags, oxygen absorbers, and vacuum sealers for extended freshness. Rotate your food ("Eat what you store, store what you eat") to prevent waste. Takeaway: Food preparedness isn't just about stockpiling — it's about having variety, redundancy, and a rotation plan. Challenge: Do a "food check" at home this week — how many days' worth do you have? Are there any gaps in your supplies?

Women of Strength, how many of you have “failure to progress” on your operative report as the reason for your Cesarean(s)? Meagan and Julie talk ALL about failure to progress today– how it led to their own Cesareans and how after breaking it down, they both realized that neither of them actually qualified for that label. When is it failure to progress and when is it failure to wait? What does failure to progress actually mean? This is an episode you will want to listen to over and over again. From learning all of the ways a cervix changes other than just dilation to all of the possible positions you can try during a lull in labor, Meagan and Julie share invaluable current research and personal experiences on this hot topic! ACOG Article: Limiting Interventions During Labor and BirthAJOG Article: Safe Prevention of a Primary Cesarean DeliveryThe Journal of Perinatal Education: Preventing a Primary CesareanOBG Project ArticleThe VBAC Link Blog: Failure to ProgressHow to VBAC: The Ultimate Prep Course for ParentsFull Transcript under Episode Details Meagan: Hello. I am with Julie today and we are going to be talking about failure to progress. If you have been diagnosed with failure to progress– and I say diagnosed because they actually put them on our op reports like it's a diagnosis of failure of progress meaning our cervix does not know what to do. It cannot make it to 10 centimeters or it hasn't or it will not in the future, then I am telling you right now that this is definitely a great episode for you. Even if you haven't been told, it's going to be a great episode because we are going to talk about some other great things in the end about what to do in labor position-wise and all of the things. So we're going to get going, but Julie apparently has a Review of the Week. We weren't going to do one, but she says she has a Review of the Week. So, Julie? I will turn the time over to you. Julie: This is my review. Are you ready? Meagan: I'm actually really curious. Julie: “I'm so excited. Thank you so much, Meagan and Julie. I love The VBAC Link!” Signed, lots of people everywhere. Meagan: I love it. Julie: We don't have a Review of the Week so I just made one up. Boom. There. Signed, AnonymousMeagan: All right, you guys. Failure to progress: what it is and what it isn't. Let's talk about what it is. What does it mean? Essentially, it means that your provider believes that your cervix did not progress in an adequate amount of time and there's also failure to progress as in your body may have gone into or you are going in for an induction and then they couldn't even get labor going which we all know is usually not the case that your body really couldn't do it, but failure to progress is when your cervix does not continually dilate in an adequate amount of time. Would you change anything about that, Julie, or add anything to that? Julie: Sorry, I didn't hear half of that. I was just going through it. I was going through the things just to make sure that we are 100% accurate on what we are about to say. Whatever you said, yeah. That sounds great. Yeah. Let's go with it. Meagan: Failure to progress– the cervix is not dilating in an adequate amount of time. Julie: Basically, yeah. Your cervix isn't changing so you've got to do a C-section because it's not working basically. Meagan: Okay, so what it isn't– do you want to talk about what it isn't? Julie: What it isn't? It isn't– sorry, I'm trying to say it. Meagan: It isn't true most of the time. Julie: Most of the time it's not true. It isn't what we think it is and if it is, it's not a sign that your body is broken. It's not exclusion. It's not a reason to exclude you from trying for a VBAC. It's not your fault. It usually is a failure from the system where people are in a rush or in a hurry and just not knowing how to move past a stall in labor or not understanding the true flow of how some labors take. I mean, I was diagnosed with failure to progress. You were diagnosed with failure to progress and I know that both of our literal clinical outlook at the time we were diagnosed with failure to progress was not true failure to progress. Meagan: Mhmm. Julie: According to what the actual guidelines and requirements are. So I always say, yeah. What you said, it is not true. Meagan: It is not true.Julie: We joke about that and use it loosely. Sometimes it is true. I've seen one true failure to progress diagnosis in over 100 births, but I feel like most of us listening and most of us who have C-sections have them because of failure to progress. Now, mine when I was in labor, I was not told failure to progress. I was told fetal heart tones, but that's another topic for another episode– what we are told versus what is in our op reports. So yeah, let's do a little plug-in about getting your op report. Find out what is actually in the notes that say why your C-section was called because it's not uncommon for what it was written down to be different than what you were told in the moment. I feel like having an accurate clinical understanding of what your Cesarean looks like on paper to another doctor who is reviewing your birth is super important. Meagan: Absolutely. I agree and also, I think that it's important to note that if you have been told this and you have doubt in your body, that it is normal to have doubt because we have been told that we can't do something and that our body can't dilate, but I also want to plug-in that really try not to believe that. Try your hardest. Do whatever you can to not believe that. It's going to help you. Believe the opposite. Believe that your body can do it. Believe that you were most likely set up in a less-ideal circumstance that created that result, right? Like an induction– it was a failure to descend, not progress, but I just recorded a story the other day where her water was broken at 6 centimeters, baby came down wonky. They couldn't get baby out and they diagnosed her with CPD. There are these things that are happening a lot of the time where we are walking in to be induced way too early or really any time we are being induced could be too early especially if it's just an elective. It can definitely be too early and our body is not ready so our body is not responding or our body is overwhelmed because it's been given so much so fast and it doesn't know what to do so it doesn't react the way a provider wants it to by our cervix dilating. It almost is reacting in the reverse way where it's tense and tight and like, No. I'm not ready and I'm not letting this baby out. Don't you feel like you've seen that? Julie: Yeah. We've seen lots of things. I feel like that's the tricky thing. We as doulas and birth photographers really do get to see the whole gamut of everything from home to birth center to hospital and everything. I feel like we have such a unique perspective on how labor is managed in and out of hospitals and how stalls or lulls in labor are managed in both places. Let me tell you, it's often way smoother and in my opinion way better outcomes when you are out of the hospital and that happens. Meagan: Mhmm. Labor at home as long as you can. Yeah. I mean, one of the stories that I just recorded was an accidental home birth. It was not her plan, not even close, and it will for sure come across that way when she is telling the story, but there were so many things that she did within that labor like movement from the shower to the toilet to walking down the stairs to moving back to the toilet. There was all of this movement that sometimes doesn't happen in a hospital or we've got, like I said, “Let's break your water. Let's do these things.” We've got these interventions that may help, but doesn't always. It may also cause problems. Okay, so we have some updates for you on the safe prevention of a primary Cesarean delivery that Julie has found and then we also want to talk about what is adequate labor too? What does that mean and where do we decide or where does a provider decide if labor is not adequate? Julie, do you want to talk about this for a minute on what you found from the OB/GYN Project? Julie: That's just a really nice summary. I really like it because it is all laid out really nicely. I am seeking out different pieces of information because there is updated information so I'm just looking for that. I'm not quite 100% certain I can speak to when it came out. Evidence-Based Birth has some great information. They did a podcast episode on the Friedman's curve. We know that dilating 1 centimeter an hour is based on the study that Friedman did. That's incredibly flawed but there is new updated, more evidence-based information that has come out. I'm trying to find out when it came out actually because the Friedman curve was established I think in 1956 and let's see. In the 2010's there were big shifts in the evidence. In 2014, ACOG had a study. Maternal Fetal Medicine published new guidelines on labor progress. Okay, so 2014 it looks like which is actually not that new anymore because it's 10 years later. That was, I think– I don't think it's actually shifted that much at all. I'm just trying to figure that out right now. I'm sorry. Let's see. The Practice Bulletin– yeah. You go. Safe Prevention of the Primary Cesarean Delivery. Meagan: I think we are looking at approaches to limit interventions during labor and birth, but we know that a lot of the time when we are introducing interventions, that is where we often will receive a failure to progress diagnosis because we are really introducing things, like I said earlier, when the body is not quite ready or the baby is not quite ready. Maybe the baby was already too high and was trying to make their way around and into the pelvis but now we've got an asynclitic baby or a transverse baby or an OP baby.This one, Number 766 which we will have in today's show notes actually originally replaced the committee of 687 in February 2017. The 766 was in 2019 and reaffirmed in 2021. Something that I like that it goes through is recommendations for women who are at term and spontaneous labor it happening. It talks about admission upon labor. It talks about premature rupture of membrane or rupturing of membranes which I think is a big one. Really, through my own experience but also doula experience, I've seen so many people go through membrane rupturing whether artificially or spontaneously and then nothing is happening so we go in and we get induced. Or we are told the second our water breaks that we have to go in, then labor has not started yet so we are intervening. One of the things it says is, “When membranes rupture at term before the onset of labor, approximately 77-79% of women will go into labor spontaneously within 12 hours. 95% will start labor within 24-28 hours.” I just had this experience with a VBAC client just the other day. Her water broke and within about 9 hours, she was starting to contract and within less than that, she actually progressed really quickly. Baby was born. That was really great but then there are situations like myself where it takes forever for labor to even start. It took 18 hours for my very first contraction with my second baby to even start and then by 24-28 hours, I was in a repeat C-section because my body didn't progress fast enough according to my provider.It says that, “The median time to delivery for women managed expectantly is 33 hours and 95% had delivered by 94-107 hours after rupture of membranes.” I think that is something also really important to note that if your water breaks, it doesn't mean we're just having a baby right away. It doesn't mean that our body is failing because we haven't started labor. 94-107 hours after the rupture of membranes is when the baby had been born. That's some time. We need to allow for the time. Julie: That's why I hate it when hospitals say, “If your water breaks, come in right now.” No. Meagan: I know. My provider did that too because it makes sense in our heads. They're saying, “Oh, just come in because we have to monitor baby because of infection and all of this stuff.” But we also have to take a step back and realize that once we go into that environment, one, that's a new environment. We're not familiar with that. All of those germs in that environment, we're not accustomed to. We're not immune to them. And then two, we know that the second we go into labor and delivery units, what happens? They want to check our cervix which means–Julie: Bacteria. Meagan: There is bacteria that is possibly being exposed to the vaginal canal, right? Even if it's a sterile glove, that still raises chances. Julie: Yeah, sterile gloves really are not as sterile as people think. Meagan: There are these things to keep in mind, but it's so hard because for me, I had premature rupture of membranes. My body didn't start labor, but I was told failure to progress after 12 hours for only reaching 3 centimeters. I was told failure to progress. I just really liked that. I mean, I like a whole bunch of this but I really liked that part of the rupture of membranes because I think so often we are told, “Oh, your water is broken. You're not progressing. You are a failure to progress.” Or we are not progressing so we have to break our water to try and speed our labor up and then that doesn't happen and then we are failure to progress. Can you see the problem here? Julie: Total problem. Meagan: It's a problem. Julie: It is a problem. So many problems. It's fine. I just dropped two different links to the updated guidelines because it's really funny. I've been going down the rabbit hole now while you've been talking so if I'm repeating things like I tend to do on you sometimes, please forgive me. I just think it's interesting. There is starting to be a shift in pulling away from Friedman's curve and going into a different way to consider an actual progression of labor which is a really cool, nice little shifty-shift here. I feel like maybe let's talk about what failure to progress really is. What are the guidelines for it? What is real failure to progress versus what you've probably been told about it? First of all, let's just talk about– nothing. Meagan: Can we use my own birth example just as a starting point to what this evidence is showing us or what the guidelines are? My water had broken spontaneously. It took a little bit to start labor. Within 12 hours, I was 3 centimeters and was told that my pelvis was too small and that I was failure to progress. Water broken, I was 3 centimeters 12 hours into labor. all right, Julie. What am I? Am I real, true failure to progress or not? Julie: No, you're not. Absolutely not, are you kidding me? Because you were still in the first stage of labor. That is the number one thing. According to clinical guidelines, it is not failure to progress until you're in the second stage of labor which is at least 6 centimeters dilated. So guess what, friends? If you got called failure to progress before you were 6 centimeters dilated– mine was labeled failure to progress at 4 centimeters so that rules me out. I mean, there are lots of things that rule me out and Meagan. But if you are less than 6 centimeters, it is not failure to progress. Meagan: Yeah, it even says right here. “Active phase arrest is defined as a woman at or beyond 6 centimeters dilation with ruptured of membranes who fails to progress despite 4 hours of adequate uterine activity or at least 6 hours of oxytocin administration with an adequate uterine activity and no cervical change.” Can we talk about that too? Adequate uterine activity. You guys, at 3 centimeters with my water broken, I was still not in an active pattern to progress. It takes time. Our uterus doesn't just start contracting regularly and adequately. It takes time. Then at that, I was only on oxytocin for 2 hours. Julie: Pitocin. You were on Pitocin. Meagan: Sorry. That's what I meant. Pitocin. I'm looking at the word oxytocin administration. Pitocin. Julie: We all know the truth. Meagan: We all know that Pitocin is not oxytocin. Julie: That is a soapbox for another day. Meagan: I was only on Pitocin for 2 hours. 2 hours. At the top, it says, “Slow but progressive labor in the first stage of labor should not be an indication for a Cesarean. With a few exceptions, prolonged late phase greater than 20 hours in a first-time mother and greater than 14 hours in a multi (so a mom who is not a first-time mom) should not be an indication for Cesarean as long. As the mother and the baby are doing well, cervical dilation of 6 centimeters should be the threshold of an active phase of labor.”Julie: Exactly. That's it too. Later on after this, we're going to talk about all the different ways a cervix can change because can I just tell you what? Someone says, “I'm 5 centimeters. I'm still 5 centimeters, great. Cool. What else has your cervix been doing? We're going to talk about that in just a second.” But yes, that's the thing. It's not failure to progress before 6 centimeters. It has to be 4 hours of adequate uterine activity which means strong, consistent contractions. Contractions that are strong enough. We could talk about the Montevideo units which is another measurement of the strength of contractions. We're not going to talk about that because we just don't have time, but are your uterine contractions strong enough? Yes? Then it's got to be at least 4 hours without cervical change. No? Then great. Let's do Pitocin and the inadequate amount of uterine activity. It says 6 hours or more of Pitocin without adequate uterine activity. If you've been on Pitocin for 6 hours and your contractions– which has caused that adequate contractions– and there is still no cervical change, then you are failure to progress Let's talk about cervical change though because the cervix goes through so many things. When I was doula-ing, I talked about this a lot in our second prenatal visit about how a lot of times you'll be like, Oh, cervical change. Yeah, dilation. Am I 4, 5, 6, 7, 8? But listen. The cervix goes through changes in 6 different ways. It moves forward so from posterior pointing backward toward to your spine. It straightens out to a more downward position. It softens so it goes from hard like your forehead to hard like your nose to softer like your chin. It softens. It effaces which means it thins out so it starts thick. It thins out which is effacement. It dilates obviously which is the opening and then baby's station like where baby is in the pelvis. Baby drops down, rotates, and descends. If you were 3 centimeters at your last cervical check and 60% effaced and 2 hours later at your next cervical check, you are 3 centimeters and 80% effaced, your cervix has thinned by 20% which is a good amount of cervical change. Meagan: Good change, yeah. Julie: If you were 6 centimeters and your baby was at a -2 station and at your next cervical check, you are 6 centimeters and your baby is -1 station which means your baby is lower in the pelvis, that is a cervical change. All of these things are shifting so I feel like it's important that when we are talking about failure to progress or when we are talking about labor progress that we consider all of the things the cervix does.I was just at a birth yesterday– not yesterday, two days ago. I don't know. It was all night and it was long for me. All night is long. It doesn't matter if i was there for 6 hours or 20 hours. If it was all night, I'm going to call it long as I'm getting older. The client was still 4-5 centimeters but the cervix was a lot softer or stretchier I think at the one before this. Oh yeah, your cervix is super stretchy now. Those are all great cervical changes even though the dilation number hasn't changed. Meagan: Yeah, so coming forward, thinning out, really softening up, baby dropping– all of these things are signs of progression and so it's something to keep in mind if a provider is like, “Well, you've been sitting at 6.5 centimeters now for 9 hours,” or whatever, but at the same time, your cervix went from 40% to 80% thinned and it went from super posterior to more mid-line and baby went from -3 to a 0. These are changes. These are absolutely changes and there are so many things that go into that. If a baby is high and not well-applied because they are trying to work their way down to the pelvis and our cervix is working on coming forward, there is so much that goes into that where now we're going to have a baby. If that change was made, now maybe we can have a baby that was well-applied to the cervix creating good pressure. Uterine activity is getting stronger. Things are progressing in the right way.So in the ACOG thing, it does say that in contrast to the prior suggested threshold of 4 centimeters which we know is very outdated, the onset of active labor–Julie: Right, that was according to the Friedman's curve. Friedman's curve called active labor at 4 centimeters but now we are getting all of this new information that yeah, it's probably at 6. I feel like when you and me started as doulas 9-10 years ago, it was 4 centimeters, but a couple years after that, everything started shifting into 6. So it's actually not that new, but kind of new. Sorry, keep going. Meagan: Yeah. I want to get into our positions really quickly, but it does say even in here, the onset of labor for many women may not occur until 5-6 centimeters. May not occur until then and then we know that sometimes around 6 centimeters, it takes some time. We're going to make sure all of these links here are in the show notes so you can check it out. Meagan: But we only have a few minutes left so I really want to talk about positions, okay? So positions in my opinion can truly change failure to progress. Julie: Yes. If there is a lull in labor, they're getting close to calling a C-section, what can we do about that? Nobody wants to hang out at 4 centimeters forever. Nobody does so what can we do about that? Yes, Meagan? Sorry, go ahead. Meagan: Movement. If you do not have an epidural, obviously movement is a lot more free. Moving around, just walking. Just flat-out walking. If we've got a higher baby and we're trying to get a baby down, really think about that femur rotation turning out. You can walk and sometimes I've had my clients do this little step dance thing where you step really wide and out and then left and right and left and right. We are doing this weird-looking dance thing, but you're grooving. Julie: You're grooving. Meagan: That can really help. Or thinking about really big asymmetrical movements so put your leg up on the bed or on a stool or on a whatever and leaning over. Bigger movements and outward movements. If you have an epidural at this point, same thing. Rotate on your side and really open those knees up really, really wide. Try to keep those movements consistent. If you're exhausted and you have an epidural because you need sleep, I really, really believe in sleep and I think it's very powerful. Find a good position. Sleep in that position and when you wake up, get going. Get active. But every 5 or so contractions, if you can, if not, make it 8, make some changes. It doesn't have to be too dramatic. It sounds weird, but if you are at home, crawling up your stairs. Crawling up your stairs on your hands and knees is weird but it works or standing up and down going from the side– one side going down, standing back up, turning and walking back up, turning around, doing the other side down and coming back up. Those things are going to help. Doing big figure 8's or hip dips. As the baby gets lower, all of those things are really still important. We are going to be less focused on big open wide because now we're going to want to get baby in and then down. So if you think about a pelvis, when the femur rotation goes out, the bottom goes in. Femur rotation in, bottom goes out. Thinking about these movements as you're laboring and as you're working through these things, as you're in these positions. Think about our hips, our pelvis, and even doing some cat-cows in labor is really good. We know there is the flying cowgirl. That is a really good one in labor too to get baby down and in. Julie: Walcher's. Meagan: Walcher's is not as fun, but it can be very good. Julie: It is magical. I've seen it push labor through so well. I had a doctor once at the U come in. I had a client who was 5 centimeters. Baby wasn't looking too great. She had been 5 centimeters for a while and we were doing Walcher's. They came in because the heart rate– Walcher's sometimes makes it hard to get a fetal heart rate so the nurses come in. They were talking about C-section and they were prepping, bringing in all of the C-section stuff for her partner to get ready. They were like, “You can't do this. Baby's heart rate is not tolerating it.” I'm like, “No. It's just not picking up the heart rate.” I'm like, “Okay, just one more contraction.” One more contraction later, she comes up and starts pushing 2 minutes later and her baby is born. the doctors are freaking out because, “Oh my gosh, the bed's not designed to labor like this.” Not everyone, sorry, but those are a little couple of pushbacks I've gotten sometimes. Meagan: It's weird-looking. It's funky. It's uncomfortable. Julie: Yeah. It's curious and some staff at hospitals do not– if they see something new and they don't know about it, they automatically assume it's not good because they need to keep everything in line and to the protocol and all of those things. But yeah, it's just really a magical thing. Meagan: There's also the abdominal lift. You can abdominal lift. I think actively moving through the contraction which can get really hard in that active phase, but through the contraction can actually help. Hands and knees, sacrum, and all of those things. Holy cow, there are so many positions. Julie: Yeah, can I just touch back? When you said about the epidural, I love when you're not resting, I think sometimes it's easy to get discouraged if you want an epidural but you also want to move during labor. I want to expound on that a little bit because you can move with an epidural still and here's how you do it. My favorite labor position with an epidural is sitting up in the throne. You lay the head of the bed all the way up, drop the feet down, then you crisscross your legs. Put the peanut ball under your right leg. Five contractions later, peanut ball under your left leg. Five contractions later, criss-cross your legs again or stretch them out straight and then repeat. Do you know what? There are so many magical ways that that helps. It keeps your pelvis moving and shifting and growing. I swear that is the most magical position for laboring with an epidural because you are upright. Baby is going to move down. The pelvis is moving and shifting so it creates lots of movement and space and I have seen that progress labors relatively quickly to how they have been going before we set up the throne so many times. I love that. I will swear. I will die on that hill. If you are failure to progress and things aren't moving, sit up, drop your legs, get the peanut ball. It doesn't even have to be the peanut ball. Maybe you don't have one in your hospital but stack a couple of pillows but put one leg up. Put your foot flat on the bed so your knee is making a triangle. I don't know how to describe it the right way and then drop it and put the other leg up and then criss-cross your legs then stick them out straight like two little sticks. Meagan: Every five. Every five, have subtle changes. Every five, subtle changes. Keep that in mind when you are laboring. Women of Strength, know that failure to progress is rarely truly failure to progress. We get it. We've been told the same thing. We see it all of the time as doulas. There's more. There's more and don't feel like you have to say, “Okay” to a Cesarean if your cervix hasn't dilated to a certain amount that the provider is wanting. Assuming you and baby are doing well, you can always ask for more time. Okay, we are on a soapbox. We could probably continue for a whole while longer, but Julie, thank you for joining me today and talking about failure to progress and what it is and what it isn't. Julie: You're welcome.

HORSES IN THE MORNING Episode 3460 - Show Notes & Links:Hosts: Meghan Brady and Jennifer Hopton of the Equestrian Travel AssociationPresenting Sponsor: Equestrian Travel AssociationGuest: Jen Verharen, Cadence Coaching Wellness Retreat for Equestrians at the Wild View Retreat in southern Portugal in May 2025.Summary: In this podcast episode, Meghan and Jennifer explore the world of non-riding equestrian retreats, where horse enthusiasts can connect with these majestic animals in unique ways. We delve into the serene and transformative experiences offered by these retreats, such as equine therapy, grooming and bonding sessions, journaling, and guided meditations in the presence of horses. Meghan and Jennifer's special guest for this week's episode is Jen Verharen. Jen will be sharing details on her upcoming Cadence Coaching Wellness Retreat in southern Portugal. This is an all inclusive, seven day experience spent at one of the most beautiful retreat centers in all of Europe!Tune in to this episode to uncover the therapeutic benefits and deep connections that can be formed through non-riding equestrian retreats.Recipe:PASTEL DE NATA (PORTUGUESE EGG TARTS)Ingredients:2 frozen puff pastry sheets let sit at room temperature until soft5 cup heavy cream5 cup sugar4 large egg yolks (approximately 60 gr)2 Tbsp corn starch2 cups whole milkDirections: Use a cookie cutter or any cups that have about 3.5-inch diameter to cut out about 18 circles from the puff pastry sheets. Mold them over aluminum muffin cups. Place in the freezer.Put all ingredients for egg custard filling in a mixing bowl. Whisk until smooth. Prepare a water bath that you can put your saucepan in later. Transfer this to a medium saucepan over low heat and use a rubber spatula to keep stirring until the mixture starts to coat the spatula thinly. Remove from the heat and transfer the saucepan to a water bath to cool it down quickly.Preheat oven to 485 F (Yes, pretty high temp!). Remove the pastry from the freezer and place it on a baking sheet lined with aluminum foil. Pour the egg custard mixture until about 3/4 full in each shell.Place them in the oven, bake for 30 minutes. Rotate every 10 minutes for even browning. Toward the end of cooking, custard will start to bubble and blister.Remove from the oven. Let it cool for about 1 minute and then unmold the tarts to a wire rack to let them cool down. They'll turn soggy if they sit in the muffin cups for too long. The top will sink a little bit and this is normal. Serve while warm if possible. You can store tarts in the fridge and reheat them in the oven at 400F for about 10 minutes.
