For women in midlife especially in perimenopause neither of those approaches alone is enough. In fact, they can actually make you feel worse. What we actually need is a balanced approach that honors our changing bodies, busy lives, and deep desire for both vitality and peace. That's where the three pillars I teach in Wise Woman Reset come in: Strength, Stillness & Support.

For most people, asthma is a disease you manage with inhalers, pills, and a prayer that the ER isn't your next stop. But new research is upending that view and changing everything we know about managing the condition.  The big shift? Medication alone might be the least effective way to manage this chronic condition.  Asthma is, after all, inflammatory by nature, but the lifestyle choices that fuel or fight inflammation are often ignored in traditional care plans.  What if the real triggers aren't just pollen or pets, but processed food, poor sleep, and unchecked anxiety? And what if healing asthma requires more than bronchodilators, like learning how to breathe all over again?  So what does a truly modern, whole-person approach to asthma look like?  In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Atoosa Kourosh, an Asthma, Allergy & Immunology consultant physician and integrative medicine leader who's spent two decades treating asthma from every angle, not just the pharmaceutical one.  We dive into what the latest science says about lifestyle as medicine, and how breathwork, nutrition, exercise, and gut health are changing the game for asthma patients everywhere. Things You'll Learn In This Episode  Why your exhale matters more than your inhale Most asthma patients struggle more with getting air out than in. What do breathing techniques like Buteyko and Papworth do that traditional deep breathing doesn't, and how can they rewire the lungs for better control? Can a Mediterranean diet reduce airway inflammation? Forget calorie counting. How do whole foods, fiber, and fermented veggies change your lung health through your gut? How obesity triggers two kinds of asthma dysfunction What's the double whammy effect of body fat on asthmatic lungs? The cortisol-microbiome-asthma triangle What happens to your microbiome when you miss a night of sleep?   Guest Bio Dr. Atoosa Kourosh, MD, MPH, RYT, is a physician, board-certified in Pediatrics, Asthma, Allergy & Immunology, and Public Health. She's also a patient health advocate. Dr. Kourosh combines treatment modalities from cutting-edge and mainstream medicine with the best of functional and integrative medicine therapies and traditional philosophies to treat the whole person in their environment. She is chair of the American College of Allergy, Asthma, and Immunology Integrative Medicine Committee and is an internationally renowned expert on holistic and integrative health.

In episode 207, Coffey talks with Nicole Morgan about what HR professionals need to know about Medicare to help employees navigate the transition from employer-provided health insurance to Medicare coverage. They discuss the four main parts of Medicare (A, B, C, and D) and how they work together; the differences between Medicare Advantage plans (Part C) and traditional Medicare with supplemental coverage; how creditable coverage determinations affect employees who continue working past age 65; the coordination of benefits between employer group health plans and Medicare based on company size; timing considerations for Medicare enrollment and the importance of planning three months before turning 65; why brokers may have financial incentives to sell Medicare Advantage plans over traditional Medicare; the risks and benefits of different Medicare options including network limitations and out-of-pocket maximums; and the role HR should play in connecting employees with qualified Medicare experts rather than providing specific coverage advice. Good Morning, HR is brought to you by Imperative—Bulletproof Background Checks.

Welcome back to School Counseling Simplified! This week, I'm sitting down with Elissa Hughes, a middle school counselor who shared a standout presentation during Summer Summit. If you didn't get a chance to attend live, don't worry—Summer Summit recordings are available inside the IMPACT membership, along with PD certificates and hundreds of other school counseling resources. Elissa Hughes is a middle school counselor with experience at the elementary, middle, and high school levels. She is a member of her school's attendance committee, focusing on tiered supports, student engagement, and family communication. Elissa is passionate about creative, practical strategies that build positive habits, foster resilience, and strengthen connections between schools and families. She is a certified RYT-200 yoga instructor with additional training in children's yoga and enjoys weaving mindfulness into her work to support student well-being. She holds a Specialist degree in Professional Counseling, a Master's in School Counseling, and a double major in Psychology and Sociology. In today's episode, Elissa walks us through how her team approached improving attendance this school year through a tiered, relationship-driven strategy—and saw real results. In this episode, Elissa shares: Tier 1 Strategies: A fun, low-effort incentive program involving 7th period attendance tracking and Dairy Queen Blizzard rewards (yes, Dairy Queen donated them!). Teachers submitted attendance data daily, and one class per grade level was rewarded with a treat. Tier 2 Support: A more individualized approach focused on understanding student and family challenges around attendance. Elissa discusses the importance of genuinely getting to know students, building trust, and having honest conversations with families to problem-solve together. She walks through common barriers like anxiety, transportation, trauma, and basic needs, and how to respond with empathy and actionable support.

Ohio Department of Youth Services eliminating different standards for "reverse discrimination" cases; how Title VII protects all individuals equally regardless of majority or minority status within protected classes; the challenges and failures of unlimited PTO policies leading employees to take less time off; new flexible PTO approaches allowing conversion to cash, student loan payments, or 401k contributions; mitigating bias in the employee selection process; why diversity, equity, and inclusion initiatives should focus on business outcomes and widening candidate pools; the evolution of AI from individual productivity tools to organizational workforce transformation; the need for employees to actively learn and adopt AI tools to remain competitive; and how AI can handle transactional HR tasks while freeing professionals to focus on more strategic human-centered work. Links to stuff they talked about are on our website at https://goodmorninghr.com/EP206 and include the following topics: Breaking—Supreme Court Unanimously Lowers Bar for “Reverse Discrimination” Claims: Ames v.

In episode 204, Coffey talks with Rosalind Chow about the distinct roles of mentorship and sponsorship in advancing careers and building more inclusive workplaces. They discuss the distinction between mentorship (which helps grow the mentee) and sponsorship (which seeks to change how others see the protege); how sponsorship functions like marketing or PR campaigns for high-potential employees; the four types of sponsorship - creating, confirming, preventing, and protecting; why sponsors risk their own credibility and reputation when advocating for others; how sponsorship doesn't require formal hierarchical relationships but depends on trust and status; how to become more "sponsorable" by being a top performer with clear values and compelling personal story; the risks of having the wrong sponsor or appearing as the "teacher's pet"; and how sponsorship creates inclusion by ensuring high performers are seen, valued, and given opportunities regardless of their background or circumstances. Good Morning, HR is brought to you by Imperative—Bulletproof Background Checks.

While mentorship can change mentees for the better through valuable coaching and encouragement, sponsorship takes it one step further — sponsors can change the social environment around their proteges by actively advocating for, raising the social visibility of, and protecting them. Put simply, while mentors act on mentees, sponsors act on external observers – audiences - to change how they see proteges.  We don't just have the ability to change other people; we also have the ability to change other people's relationships with one another. This ability - the power we have as sponsors - is something we can leverage to better ourselves, other people, and our communities. Rosalind Chow can be reached athttp://www.rosalindchow.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/rosalind-chow-6b25541b0/  About Mike Coffey: Mike Coffey is an entrepreneur, licensed private investigator, business strategist, HR consultant, and registered yoga teacher.In 1999, he founded Imperative, a background investigations and due diligence firm helping risk-averse clients make well-informed decisions about the people they involve in their business.Imperative delivers in-depth employment background investigations, know-your-customer and anti-money laundering compliance, and due diligence investigations to more than 300 risk-averse corporate clients across the US, and, through its PFC Caregiver & Household Screening brand, many more private estates, family offices, and personal service agencies.Imperative has been named a Best Places to Work, the Texas Association of Business' small business of the year, and is accredited by the Professional Background Screening Association. Mike shares his insight from 25+ years of HR-entrepreneurship on the Good Morning, HR podcast, where each week he talks to business leaders about bringing people together to create value for customers, shareholders, and community.Mike has been recognized as an Entrepreneur of Excellence by FW, Inc. and has twice been recognized as the North Texas HR Professional of the Year. Mike serves as a board member of a number of organizations, including the Texas State Council, where he serves Texas' 31 SHRM chapters as State Director-Elect; Workforce Solutions for Tarrant County; the Texas Association of Business; and the Fort Worth Chamber of Commerce, where he is chair of the Talent Committee.Mike is a certified Senior Professional in Human Resources (SPHR) through the HR Certification Institute and a SHRM Senior Certified Professional (SHRM-SCP).
