Podcasts about shoestring

Wellness doesn't have to be overwhelming—it starts with small, consistent choices that reconnect you to your body, your rhythm, and your purpose. Dr. Michelle Robin celebrates 15 years of Wellness on a Shoestring by revisiting the simple habits that have helped thousands reclaim their energy, focus, and joy. From sleep hygiene to hydration, movement to mindset, she reminds us that transformation isn't about perfection—it's about showing up, tuning in, and making space for what truly matters. This summer, the invitation is clear: slow down, simplify, and start where you are. Key Takeaways: Sleep is foundational; even small shifts in bedtime routines can improve energy and mental clarity. Learning to reflect on what your body is telling you builds self-awareness and prevents burnout. Movement doesn't have to be complicated—just keep your body in motion, especially your spine. Food is fuel and information—cleaning up your diet can unlock better mood, digestion, and focus. Gratitude and emotional clarity are just as essential to health as nutrition and hydration.   Resource Mentioned: Body Talk- https://smallchangesbigshifts.com/download/7110/?tmstv=1736021312 Neuromuscular Neck- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yuZM5QbwN3Y&t=55s Wall angles- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kgiXvZ36_oI  Sleep posture tips - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lXR_GUkdPBY Lists of good fats - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5boXiShAORI Connect with Dr. Michelle and Bayleigh at: https://smallchangesbigshifts.com hello@smallchangesbigshifts.com https://www.linkedin.com/company/smallchangesbigshifts https://www.facebook.com/SmallChangesBigShifts https://www.instagram.com/smallchangesbigshiftsco   Thanks for listening!

Very few people outside Coos County, and probably not that many inside it, know what a big deal Coos Bay is. It's the biggest deepwater harbor on the Northwest coast — that is, between San Francisco and Puget Sound. And it's far safer than Portland or Astoria, tucked as they are behind the “Graveyard of the Pacific” at the mouth of the Columbia. So, one has to wonder why it had no railroad connection to the outside world until 1916 — more than 30 years after Portland got one. There have to have been some theories and speculations about that among the residents and business leaders in the towns of Coos Bay (then called Marshfield) and North Bend. Especially after, in the early 1900s, the Southern Pacific railroad suddenly stopped work on a feeder line that it had claimed would link to Coos Bay through Drain. The subtext here seemed pretty obvious to Marshfield and North Bend business leaders: Business interests in Portland were eager to prevent Coos Bay from coming on line as a direct competitor. And since Portland and Salem were where most of the state's political power was concentrated, what they wanted they generally got. That suspicion would grow even stronger after William J. Wilsey started promoting his planned railroad line, circa 1909. But, that one would not turn out to be a bluff; and despite the best efforts of Harriman & Co., it would turn out to be a rare case in which the tiny upstart wins. (Eugene and Coos Bay, Lane and Coos County; 1910s) (For text and pictures, see https://offbeatoregon.com/22-01.coos-bay-railroad-fight-605.html)

The upcoming AVEA (Association of Visitor Experiences and Attractions) Conference planned for October 13th to 15th in Kilkenny will see the founder of ProfileTree and AI expert Ciaran Connelly take to the stage to showcase how to effectively use AI on a shoestring to maximise marketing efforts. Ciaran has grown ProfileTree from a small team of 2 into a strong team of 24. Online he creates videos and training, which are delivered through YouTube and various websites. He continues to drive innovation in the digital marketing landscape through the adoption of AI tools in business practices and designs, develops and supports optimised websites and e-commerce sites for a large number of companies from the USA to Australia. At the conference, he will share his expertise in using AI to get the most for your marketing efforts and team productivity. CEO of AVEA Catherine Flanagan says, "We are very excited to welcome Ciaran to the conference. He works at the cutting edge of AI and is up to speed on what technology is evolving daily. He will demystify AI and share insights into some of the best tools for the best results. Tourism and hospitality are all about the personal touch, and AI can be a powerful and positive behind-the-scenes tool that enables us to spend more time connecting and engaging with the visitor." Ciaran says, "In any business, we are always looking for ways to improve what we do. A lot of tasks are robotic and repetitive, and by effectively using AI we can remove some of these more basic tasks that we no longer need to do and allow business team members to focus on the higher-level strategic parts of the business. "The speed of AI adoption since November 2022 is phenomenal. It is clear AI is the future, no matter what happens next - it will be a bigger part of everyone's life. One of the biggest challenges I see is getting staff onboard with using AI. "We are all naturally resistant to changing how we work; for example, when you ask a team of writers to adopt ChatGPT, they initially think that they are sacrificing part of their creativity but AI is a tool for facilitating creativity and content writing, instead of staring at a blank screen or putting hours into research for an article, there is a tool that could help do all of that a lot quicker. "My delivery at the upcoming conference is to arm the visitor attraction industry with some key knowledge and tools to focus their marketing efforts and reap the most reward by doing so." Over 200 delegates will gather in Kilkenny at the Ormonde Hotel for the 7th annual AVEA conference. In a bid to tackle tourism visitor numbers and issues head-on and work towards providing the best experience for visitors, the industry will come together. The owners and operators of Ireland's leading visitor attractions will gather to discuss how the industry can drive further visitor numbers and future-proof their businesses under the theme of 'Innovation - Agility - Inclusion'. A conference's leadership panel discussion will include Tourism Ireland CEO Alice Mansergh, Failte Ireland's Jenny De Saulle, Chief Executive at Irish Tourism Industry Confederation Eoghan O' Mara Walsh, CEO at Tourism Northern Ireland John McGrillen. In addition to the leadership panel, the international speakers include Laura Magee, CEO of Thoroughbred Country, Nik Wyness, Head of Marketing, the Tank Museum, Dorset, Alison Bowyer, Executive Director, Kids in Museums, Eleanore Hutch and Kat Riddell, Diageo Brand Homes, Sally Booth and Olivia Hewley from VocalEyes, Michael Faley, Sector Lead for Travel, Google, Gary Farrington, Senior Partner Manager EMEA, Expedia Group, Rachel Kuhn, Senior Director, BOP Consulting and Anne O'Donoghue, CEO, Irish Heritage Trust. A highlight of the conference is sure to be the Gala Dinner at St Canice's Cathedral, which expects to welcome over 150 of Ireland's tourism leaders. St Canice's will be showcasing the illuminated Book of Ossory, which is on display in its new home for th...

Small community hospitals are the backbone of healthcare for most of the country, even today in this era of sprawling healthcare organizations and massive mergers. But while they're critical to the health of our nation, resources are often scarce, and CDI is no exception. Jennifer Cummins, BSN, CCDS, is one of just two CDI professionals covering a 222-bed not-for-profit community hospital in rural Kentucky. Advanced technology and sophisticated AI are not in her toolbox, but that doesn't mean Jennifer doesn't take pride in her work. In fact, she and her colleague are making a big impact with some old-school methods. Their CDI work helped the hospital earn the title of one of the 100 Greatest Community Hospitals in America. Proof that determination, creativity, and teamwork are still more important than tech, even in this day and age. On this show we cover: • Jennifer's origin story—ICU and ER nurse, finding her way into CDI with the help of a nursing colleague • CDI program--when it began, focus of reviews, and success metrics • Conducting chart reviews with a basic encoder, books, creativity, and the help of other departments • Logistical challenges as a small community hospital, including weekend coverage and PTO in a department of two, and rising to meet new initiatives with limited resources • Expansion to mortality reviews: Identifying the need, process, early successes, and conducting deeper, more intensive reviews • Fun things to do in Kentucky (aka., Bourbon Trail). Plus Jennifer's addition to the Off the Record Spotify playlist (Kentucky bluegrass? Find out)

Shoestring, waffle, curly, or thick-cut: however you slice it, nearly everyone loves a deep-fried, golden brown piece of potato. But that's where the agreement ends and the battles begin. While Americans call their fries "French," Belgians claim that they, not the French, invented the perfect fry. Who's right? This episode, we take you right into the heart of the battle that continues to be waged over who owns the fry—who invented it, who perfected it, who loves it the most? And then we take you behind the scenes into another epic fight: the struggle for the perfect fry. Can food scientists create a fry with the ultimate crispy shell and soft inside, one that can stay that way while your delivery driver is stuck in traffic?
