Hear Me: Stories to Challenge OUD Stigma - Series Summary: In this series, we amplify the voices of individuals who have navigated the healthcare system while facing stigma related to opioid use, race, identity, pregnancy, and trauma. Through raw, personal narratives like Joey's and Kshe's (KAY-she), you are invited to listen deeply — not only to the stories , but also to the systemic challenges and human truths they reveal. These short, powerful episodes are a call to action: to reflect, to empathize, and to change. Because compassionate care begins when we choose to hear. Episode: Kshe's Story: Pregnancy, Substance Use and the Power of Compassionate Care Featuring:  Kshe Bernard Valery Shuman, ATR-BC, LCPC, Co-Founder, Sana Healing Collective Summary: Faced with judgment and fear during her pregnancy, Kshe (KAY-she) found hope in one provider's compassion—her story is a powerful reminder that empathy in medicine can change lives. As You Listen to Kshe's Story, Consider: How does stigma impact the willingness of pregnant individuals with SUD to seek medical care? What assumptions might you hold—consciously or unconsciously—about people who use drugs while pregnant? How can you integrate trauma-informed, compassionate care into your practice? Kshe's story highlights the life-changing impact of compassionate care. As a healthcare clinician, your approach matters. How you speak to, treat, and engage with patients can either serve as a barrier or as a bridge to care. Consider what changes you can make in your practice—whether through language, policy advocacy, or patient interactions—to help dismantle stigma and foster trust. Compassion isn't just an ideal—it's an intervention. How will you use it?

Hear Me: Stories to Challenge OUD Stigma - Series Summary: In this series, we amplify the voices of individuals who have navigated the healthcare system while facing stigma related to opioid use, race, identity, pregnancy, and trauma. Through raw, personal narratives like Joey's and Kshe's (KAY-she), you are invited to listen deeply — not only to the stories , but also to the systemic challenges and human truths they reveal. These short, powerful episodes are a call to action: to reflect, to empathize, and to change. Because compassionate care begins when we choose to hear.   Episode: Joey's Story: Running from Stigma Featuring:  Joey McCleod Valery Shuman, ATR-BC, LCPC, Co-Founder, Sana Healing Collective, and Senior Lecturer, Art Therapy and Counseling program, School of the Art Institute of Chicago Summary:  What happens when fear of judgment keeps someone from seeking lifesaving care? Joey's story reveals how stigma at the intersection of race, sexuality, and substance use can create invisible barriers that healthcare clinicians have the power to break. As you listen to Joey's story, we encourage you to: Reflect on Bias: Consider how stigma—both personal and systemic—may shape Joey's experiences in healthcare and affect his willingness to seek care. Recognize the Power of Small Interactions: The way you communicate—your tone, body language, and choice of words—can either build trust or reinforce fear and avoidance. Commit to Change: Identify one action you can take to create a more welcoming, nonjudgmental environment for patients facing similar barriers. Joey's story is just one example of how stigma can create barriers to care. As a healthcare clinician, you have the power to change that. Take a moment to reflect—what's one small shift you can make in your language, your approach, or your clinical environment to ensure patients like Joey feel safe, heard, and respected? Reducing stigma starts with awareness, but real change happens through action. We encourage you to commit to one tangible change today that will help foster trust and compassion in your practice.

Katie McDonald was in sales previously. Now she coaches women in self-care because of so many of us who have gotten burned out or just put ourselves last. Hear some of Katie's suggestions for your crazy busy life. She talks about "ME management"  It's all about self-care strategies because the fact is most of us are running on fumes and we're borrowing future energy to get through today. Katie wants to disrupt that. When we think about what we're able to create in a compromised state she wants to leverage the wellbeing that we can create through our habits. Katie also says that to create sustainable change and also have a legacy, leave a legacy behind that's intentional and come from a place of nourishment and restoration instead of deprivation and denial is the goal.  More about Katie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/bnourished/ https://bnourished.com/ More about Women Sales Pros - we have a website, we are on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram.  Subscribe to our 2x a month news, and share the podcast with others!

After two years of that, Nick got married to his lovely wife, Rachel and they both went to work for Sky Ranch Summer Camps out in East Texas –Nick as an outdoor education teacher and Rachel as the store manager. Four years and one daughter later, Nick and Rachel took a big swing and moved to Houston where Nick took a job as a youth pastor. That was 2010 and now they have three lovely kids and have been homeschooling ever since their oldest started first grade. It hasn't always been easy, and there have been moments where they almost threw in the towel, but they are part of a loving, nurturing community with Classical Conversations and are planning to go all the way through. Nick remains a youth pastor, and hopes to continue doing so until they won't let him anymore. Nick is passionate about classical homeschool education, and wants to continue to provide helpful resources for as many homeschool families as will listen to him!Join the conversation and explore more resources to support your homeschooling adventure!

I've always been fascinated by brain health—how we think, feel, and function is deeply tied to how we live our lives. And yet, for so long, cognitive decline has been framed as an inevitable part of ageing. But what if that's not the full story?In this Live Well, Be Well episode, I sit down with two of the world's leading neurologists, Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai to explore the cutting-edge science of brain health, neuroplasticity, and longevity. Their work is revolutionising our understanding of how we can actively shape our cognitive future—and the truth is, we have far more control than we think.We get into:✔️ The myth of brain ageing—why decline isn't inevitable and how we can strengthen our cognition at any age.✔️ The power of neuroplasticity—how small daily habits can rewire the brain for better focus, memory, and resilience.✔️The sleep-brain connection. Why deep sleep is the ultimate detox and the number one factor for long-term cognitive health.✔️Food as medicine for the brain—how the MIND Diet has been shown to reduce Alzheimer's risk by over 50%.✔️The real impact of stress on cognition—and how we can train our brains to handle pressure more effectively.✔️The attention crisis—how social media and technology are rewiring our minds and what we can do to regain control.Drs. Dean and Ayesha Sherzai are co-directors of the Alzheimer's Prevention Program at Loma Linda University and the authors of The Alzheimer's Solution. Their research proves that up to 80% of dementia cases could be prevented—and in this episode, they share the simple but powerful changes we can all make today to build a healthier, sharper brain for life.This conversation really shifted the way I think about my brain health, and I hope it does the same for you. If you found this episode valuable, please share it—and as always, let me know your thoughts.Connect with Dr. Dean & Dr. Ayesha Sherzai:

In a recent episode of the Building Better Habits podcast, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche tackled the important topic of managing anxiety and stress, especially in high-pressure work environments. This episode explores practical strategies for identifying, understanding, and managing anxiety and stress through effective habit-building. Here's a summary of their insightful discussion. Understanding Anxiety and Stress The episode begins by distinguishing between anxiety and stress. While stress is often tied to external pressures like deadlines and performance goals, anxiety is more internal, stemming from uncertainty, fear of the unknown, or persistent worry. Michael explains that anxiety can linger long after a stressful event, manifesting as repetitive thoughts and a heightened sense of vulnerability. For developers and professionals, managing anxiety and stress is crucial. Common triggers include unstable software systems, tight deadlines, or the fear of failure in high-stakes situations like healthcare or public service. Rob emphasizes that while stress can sometimes be motivational, unchecked anxiety drains productivity and can lead to burnout. Building Habits for Managing Anxiety and Stress Both hosts agree that developing habits is key to effectively managing anxiety and stress. Michael shares how he has learned to identify his anxiety triggers and adopt techniques to work through them. One of his strategies is comparing current challenges to past situations, asking himself whether today's circumstances are genuinely different or more threatening. This perspective helps to reduce feelings of overwhelm. Rob suggests daily gratitude journaling as a powerful habit for managing anxiety and stress. Writing down three things you're grateful for each morning can shift your mindset and help you focus on positives rather than uncertainties. Whether it's appreciating a hot cup of coffee, a supportive colleague, or a recent accomplishment, this practice fosters resilience and clarity. Practical Techniques for Managing Anxiety and Stress Michael and Rob also share actionable tips for addressing anxiety and stress: Brain Dumps: Writing down repetitive thoughts or “what-ifs” can provide clarity and relief. Once on paper, those worries become more manageable. Engaging Activities: Reading, listening to music, or diving into an audiobook can help redirect focus and break the cycle of anxious thoughts. Michael advises against passive distractions like TV, which often allow the mind to wander. Reframing the Situation: Asking questions like, “What's the worst that could happen?” or “Has anything truly changed?” can help reframe anxiety and focus on actionable solutions. Grounding in Basics: When overwhelmed, it helps to focus on essential needs—food, shelter, and safety—to remind yourself that you are okay. Seeking Support for Managing Anxiety and Stress Both hosts stress the importance of seeking help when necessary. This might involve talking to friends or family, exploring self-help books, or consulting with a professional therapist. Rob reminds listeners that managing anxiety and stress isn't a sign of weakness but a common struggle shared by many. Michael highlights the value of addressing physiological aspects of anxiety with the help of healthcare professionals. Sometimes, a small medical intervention under the guidance of a doctor can make a significant difference. The Weekly Challenge: Build Gratitude into Your Day To help listeners take actionable steps, Rob concludes the episode with a challenge: Start each morning by listing three things you're grateful for. This habit not only helps in managing anxiety and stress but also fosters a mindset of gratitude and positivity. Over time, it builds resilience and allows you to tackle challenges with a clearer head. Final Thoughts on Managing Anxiety and Stress The Building Better Habits podcast reminds us that while anxiety and stress are inevitable, they are also manageable. Through mindfulness, habit-building, and community support, we can turn anxiety into an opportunity for growth. As Michael eloquently states, “There's always sunshine on the horizon.” By embracing practical habits and reframing challenges, you can take control of your well-being and productivity.

Paul's insights on the evolution of compassion in scientific research over the past 20 years were fascinating, especially how it's reshaping our understanding of mental health and wellbeing. For anyone struggling with self-criticism or feeling vulnerable, this episode offers practical wisdom on developing a compassionate mind.About Paul GilbertProfessor Paul Gilbert OBE is a ground-breaking clinical psychologist, researcher and author who developed Compassion Focused Therapy. He is the Founder and President of The Compassionate Mind Foundation, and has written/edited over 20 books and published over 200 papers on the subject of compassion.
