Dr. Shanté is a certified life coach, writer, professor, and host of the podcast The Whole In Your Heart podcast on YouTube. Specializing in guiding individuals through the complexities of healing, wellness, and personal development, today we have a conversation for you about the art of surrender. We explore how to trust the timing of your life, the difference between surrender and submission, and how to accept what you cannot change while still believing deeply in yourself and what is possible. We'll go into how to process anger and hurt when you've been wronged, how to stop living in the past, and how the very act of trying to control outcomes is often where we lose our power.  Dr. Shanté offers insights into why force is the opposite of surrender, how to recognize the subtle ways we abandon ourselves, and why surrender is not weakness, but strength.

by Eli Woolery If there's one thing we've learned from the multitude of people we've interviewed for Design Better, it's that the most innovative creators of our time share an unlikely trait: they refuse to stay in their lane. While conventional wisdom pushes specialization, these polymaths build careers by following curiosity across fields—from nuclear engineering to footwear design, from video games to graphic novels. In my own career, it took me many years to realize this, and in some ways my journey began the day after my son was born. I remember that day as unseasonably hot. September 2015 on the Monterey Peninsula—the kind of clear, warm day that follows long stretches of coastal fog. After leaving the hospital where my wife Courtney was recovering with our newborn, I grabbed a quick (wife-sanctioned) surf. The clear horizon promised a month of record warmth ahead. At home, I checked email before setting up my auto-responder for two weeks of paternity leave. Near the top of my inbox: a message from our startup's CEO. Not what I expected. The gist: "We're sorry, but our co-founders had a fight, the company is splitting up, and we have to lay you off." Panic. Losing my job right after our second child wasn't the plan, especially since we'd just moved to the Monterey Peninsula in an era before remote work was widespread. I delivered the news to Courtney at the hospital along with her Starbucks coffee, and couldn't find anything comforting to say. She ended up reassuring me—we were going to be OK. And we were. It became a rare chance for me to spend real time with our newborn son, young daughter, and Courtney. Time to reflect on what came next. And I had a secret weapon—something I hadn't always considered a strength. Continue reading this issue of The Brief on Substack at DesignBetter.com

Text us about this show.Steve March-Tormé and Michael Murphy return to Into The Music to introduce you to the title character of their new album, Dalton Diamond. This is an album just over four decades in the making having originated in a West Los Angeles bedroom as the idea of Steve along with his friend, Craig Copeland. In the mid 1980s, nine of the album's were written by Steve and Craig and two additional songs that round out the narrative were written forty years later by Steve and Michael. The feel of the album harkens back to the 1970s southern California country rock of the Eagles, J.D. Souther, Jackson Browne, and The Flying Burrito Brothers to name a handful of Dalton's influences. This episode serves as a preview of the album and Steve and Michael throw in a live performance for good measure.

The Business of Therapy: Surviving Economic and Industry Disruptions Curt and Katie chat about how therapists can adapt to the changing business landscape of private practice, including fewer client inquiries, economic challenges, and increased competition. We share practical strategies for maintaining a sustainable therapy practice, improving marketing efforts, and building strong referral networks. Transcripts and additional information for this episode will be available at mtsgpodcast.com! In this podcast episode we discuss running a private practice during times of economic uncertainty We've heard a lot about the real-time challenges that therapists are facing in a changing business landscape. With a drop in inquiries, increased financial pressures on clients, and greater competition from virtual and AI-based services, private practice clinicians are feeling the pinch. We explore how to adapt your business model, rethink marketing strategies, and prioritize networking and flexibility to weather the storm and build a more resilient practice. What is the current state of private practice therapy businesses? • A drop in referrals and inquiries: Therapists are seeing fewer new client inquiries, especially compared to the pandemic boom. • Economic pressures on clients: Some are requesting fee reductions or shifting to less frequent sessions, even when practices are technically full. • Rising competition: Therapists are competing not just with other clinicians, but also with VC-backed platforms and AI services. What can private practice therapists do to navigate the current business climate? • The need for adaptability: Offering in-person and virtual options, adjusting your fee structure, and being flexible can help retain clients. • Business evolution: It's more important than ever to regularly assess your practice's expenses, operations, and marketing strategy. • Standing out in a crowded market: Specializing in specific modalities (like DBT or EMDR) and diversifying your service offerings (e.g., walk-and-talk therapy) can help. • Networking and community support: Building strong referral networks and staying connected with colleagues is essential in today's climate. • Sustainability for therapists with additional needs: Flexibility can also support therapists who are neurodivergent or living with chronic illness. Key Takeaways from this podcast episode for therapists • Monitor your referral trends and be proactive about filling client gaps—even if your caseload seems full. • Adjust your practice model as needed—offering hybrid sessions or reduced fees may help sustain your income. • Reevaluate your expenses and time investments (marketing, admin, documentation) for a more efficient practice. • Stay current and visible by evaluating SEO, trying Google Ads, and maintaining a strong online presence. • Network consistently—both online and in-person—to build a robust referral stream. • Don't be afraid to evolve. Practices that are nimble and responsive to change are more likely to succeed long-term.

In the early days, it's tempting to say yes to everything, especially if you're in services and can technically do it all.  But if you want to build a business people refer to, remember, and trust, saying “we do everything” is a fast track to being forgotten. Walt Maclay learned this the hard way. He didn't start with a GTM strategy or customer persona. He just started consulting after selling off a previous company. And like many technical founders, he figured the work would come if the skills were strong. It didn't. The turning point wasn't better execution. It was focus.

Known for her platform Nini and the Brain, Dr. Munoz rose to prominence during the COVID-19 pandemic by demystifying complex clinical data. She explains common statistical manipulations, like base rate fallacy and absolute versus relative risk, using examples such as raw milk claims and fluoride debates. Dr. Munoz emphasizes the difference between risk (quantifiable likelihood of harm) and hazard (potential to cause harm), offering strategies to communicate these concepts to patients by aligning with their personal values. From addressing publication bias to advocating humility in science, this episode equips physicians to counter misleading headlines and foster trust with patients.Three Actionable Takeaways:Spot Base Rate Fallacy – Adjust for population size when comparing health outcomes (e.g., pasteurized vs. raw milk hospitalizations) to avoid misleading absolute numbers and reveal true risk.Question Weak Effects – Scrutinize studies with inconsistent or marginal effects, like fluoride research, by checking for confounders, publication bias, or non-replicable results.Tailor Risk Communication – Frame health advice around patients' personal risks (e.g., vaccine benefits for individual healthcare access) to make data relatable and actionable.About the Show:The Physician's Guide to Doctoring covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more.

Rony and Ted welcome Angela Dunning, an attorney at Cleary Gottlieb specializing in AI and copyrights. With Charlie on vacation, they switched up the format, bringing Angela in at the top of the show, lacing news tidbits throughout. The big news this week was Google I/O, highlighting the $250/month Gemini Ultra model and the Veo 3 video generation tool, now offering voice. Rony expresses a bit of cynicism as Google once again re-re-enters XR. The conversation veers into the philosophical and legal future of machine authorship and sentience. Angela draws on her experience litigating the “monkey selfie” case to explain current copyright limitations, but notes shifting standards, including a recent case where an entirely AI-generated image was granted protection, due to extensive human control. She emphasizes the importance of human authorship, distinguishing between derivative output and directed creation.Thank you to our sponsor, Zappar!Don't forget to like, share, and follow for more!
