Send us Fan MailChange arrives at the top of a system as transforming, liberating, rewiring. By the time it reaches the people expected to implement it, it is do more and do it faster. Something happens on the way down, and trust is what gets lost in it.Sophie Tidman and Carolyn Norgate on the language we use about change, and what it does to organisations running some of the hardest reform programmes in the country. Recorded after a Mayvin alumni session in June called Useful Weirdness: Practising Change When the Default is More and Faster, with a room made up largely of civil servants.Along the way: a senior leader who described his organisation as a tree and then wanted to pull the branches, war metaphors hiding in words like "digging in", how systems leadership becomes everything-ism, and what it costs to keep curiosity alive in a system that runs on accountability. They land on relational public services as the new language worth watching.

Ken and Lima debate whether the quarterback job now belongs to Deshaun Watson, with Ken admitting he expected only a two-game stint before Shedeur Sanders took over and Lima saying a solid showing against Pittsburgh would shelve the Sanders talk until midseason. Caller Dave argues the city is intoxicated by a couple of wins and fears the Haslams could end up extending Watson. Ken and Lima concede he has a point but counter with EPA per play numbers that put Watson ahead of Baker Mayfield, C.J. Stroud, and Aaron Rodgers in a league full of shaky quarterback play.

Howard Hawks directs this grand western in which Montgomery Cliff maybe introduces Hollywood to The Method and John Wayne learns to act. It's a story about greed and America but it's not an open critique because it would be bad if we said America is bad. If nothing else John Wayne would quit the production.
Suggest Guests For Our Podcast: https://forms.gle/ytt6a9jxe8YwzsGD6 Dr. Bikash Parajuli, an orthopedic surgeon specializing in Orthopedics and Traumatology, joins the podcast for an in-depth conversation about sports injuries, cycling injuries, gym injuries, back pain, spine health, and modern orthopedic surgery. He explains the risks involved in adventure cycling, common cycling injuries, runner's knee, leg strength and longevity, pinched nerves, finger cracking, and the difference between good pain and bad pain during training. The conversation also explores David Goggins' knee problems and what athletes can learn from extreme endurance figures such as James Lawrence, Jonas Deichmann, and Dean Karnazes. Dr. Bikash discusses what causes gym injuries, how cyclists and lifters can reduce injury risk, habits that support spine health, warning signs people should not ignore, and why forceful neck cracking can be dangerous. On the surgical side, he shares unique orthopedic cases involving bone lengthening, complex treatment, 3D surgical models used to prepare for difficult procedures, and common fears around back pain surgery and paralysis. He also explains how orthopedic surgeons approach complex cases and how technology can improve surgical planning. This episode brings together sports medicine, orthopedic surgery in Nepal, adventure cycling, injury prevention, spine care, knee pain, cycling safety, and practical lessons for runners, cyclists, gym-goers, and anyone who wants to stay active for the long term.
How much of the time you spend in pain comes from the injury itself, and how much comes from the fear around it?Dr. Tom Walters is a board-certified orthopedic physical therapist, strength and conditioning specialist, educator, and founder of Rehab Science. He has spent more than two decades helping people understand pain, movement, and injury recovery, and he is the author of Rehab Science: How to Overcome Pain and Heal from Injury.Tom's starting point is that pain and injury are not the same thing. Pain is an unpleasant sensory or emotional experience tied to actual or potential tissue damage, which means what you believe about your body can change what you feel in it.Tom and Mike get into the nocebo effect, how a clinician's words or reaction to a scan can amplify pain, why the field traded the word chronic for persistent, and how to manage exercise loads as your body adapts.Mike tells the story of an MRI he had around the age of 23. The doctor looked at the film, his eyes got big, and he asked if Mike was okay. Mike says his pain felt worse instantly.Tom says many musculoskeletal conditions improve with time and movement. He encourages people to take an active role in recovery: try an appropriate movement, notice how your body responds, and adjust from there.Enjoy the conversation.___________________________________________________________________Links & Resources:Dr. Tom Walters' Website: rehabscience.comDr. Tom Walters' Books: Rehab Science: How to Overcome Pain and Heal from Injury, plus the 2026 Rehab Science body-region series: Knee, Back and Spine, Hip, Shoulder, Elbow, Wrist & Hand, Ankle and Foot, and Head & NeckDr. Tom Walters' YouTube Channel: Rehab ScienceThe Rehab Science App: Rehab Science on the App StoreSubscribe to our Youtube Channel for more conversations at the intersection of high performance, leadership, and wellbeing: https://www.youtube.com/c/FindingMasteryGet exclusive discounts and support our amazing sponsors!Go to: https://findingmastery.com/sponsors/Subscribe to the Finding Mastery newsletter for weekly high performance insights: https://www.findingmastery.com/newsletterDownload Dr. Mike's Morning Mindset Routine: findingmastery.com/morningmindsetFollow on YouTube, Instagram, LinkedIn, and XSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode of the Optimal Body Podcast, doctors of physical therapy, Doc Jen and Doctor Dom address controversy sparked by a social media post where Doc Jen stated she doesn't seek chiropractic adjustments. They clarify that adjustments don't "realign the spine" or "put bones back into place," explaining that benefits come from reduced tension and nervous system responses. Citing research, they highlight that spinal palpation is unreliable and that similar results can be achieved through mobilization or movement. They emphasize adjustments are useful tools but shouldn't create patient dependency, advocating instead for evidence-based care and long-term self-empowerment through exercise and movement.Needed Discount:Jen trusted Needed Supplements for fertility, pregnancy, and beyond!

In this special Athlete Highlight episode, we are back with Cub Swanson & Dr. Sohrab Gollogly - bringing together two sides of the surgical experience: the athlete who underwent surgery and the surgeon who performed it.Professional mixed martial artist and UFC Hall of Famer Cub Swanson joins his surgeon, orthopedic spine specialist Dr. Sohrab Gollogly, for a conversation about endoscopic spine surgery—from the athlete's perspective and the surgeon's point of view.In This Episode: Part TwoIn the next episode, we'll continue the discussion and shift our focus to postoperative recovery and return to play following endoscopic spine surgery.What does recovery look like for a professional fighter? When can an athlete begin training again? And what does it take to get back to the highest level of competition?Meet Our GuestsCub SwansonCub Swanson is a veteran professional mixed martial artist and one of the most respected featherweights of his generation.Swanson turned professional in 2004 and became a standout in the WEC before making his UFC debut in 2011. Known for his exciting and aggressive fighting style, he has faced many of the biggest names in MMA and has built a professional career spanning more than two decades.He was inducted into the UFC Hall of Fame's Fight Wing in 2022.Outside the Octagon, Cub is a father of three and is passionate about mentoring the next generation of fighters and giving back to the sport that helped transform his life.Dr. Sohrab GolloglyDr. Sohrab Gollogly is a fellowship-trained, board-certified orthopedic spine surgeon with more than 20 years of experience treating spinal disorders.Based in Monterey, California, Dr. Gollogly specializes in minimally invasive and endoscopic spine surgery, with particular interests in motion preservation and avoiding unnecessary fusion surgery.He completed his medical training at the University of Washington, orthopedic surgery residency at the University of Utah, and advanced fellowship training in adult spine surgery in Lyon, France, as well as pediatric spine surgery in San Diego.Dr. Gollogly is also a founding member of the EndoSpine Academy at Balgrist University Hospital in Zurich, where he is involved in surgeon education and the advancement of endoscopic spine techniques.Why This Conversation MattersEndoscopic spine surgery continues to evolve, and for athletes, the potential advantages of minimally invasive approaches extend beyond the operating room.For a professional fighter, the goals may include more than relieving pain or treating a structural problem. Motion, strength, function, recovery time, and the ability to return to a high-demand sport all matter.By hearing directly from both the athlete and surgeon, this episode explores what happens when those goals intersect—and what the decision-making process looks like when the stakes are a professional career.The Sports Docs PodcastHosted by Dr. Ashley Bassett and Dr. Catherine LoganSubscribe on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Amazon Music, and YouTube to stay up to date on the latest in sports medicine.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider leaving us a review or comment—it helps other sports medicine professionals and athletes find the show.Have feedback or a topic you'd like us to cover?Email: thesportsdocspod@gmail.comInstagram: @thesportsdocspod

What happens when we stop telling the body what to do, and start listening to what it already knows?More than 30 years ago, Vanda Scaravelli's Awakening the Spine began a journey for Joanne that would profoundly change the way she understood yoga, movement and her own body.In this episode, Joanne reflects on what Vanda taught her about gravity, the spine, proprioception and the intelligence within our movement — including the unforgettable moment her own body showed her what Vanda called its “anti-gravity reflex.”A number of you have asked questions about emotional anatomy and the idea that our body is listening. In response to that, Joanne also explores the teachers who helped shape her ability to do that along the way, why learning to trust our own inner guidance matters, and how her later understanding of fascia, biomechanics and biomotional intelligence gave new meaning to ideas she first encountered decades ago.There's also a simple practice you can try as Joanne invites you to pause, breathe and experience the subtle two-directional movement of your own spine, to really feel what Vanda's guidance meant in practice.Perhaps awakening the spine begins with something remarkably simple: learning how to listen and using our breath to hear.
Since first watching Taste of Cherry way back at Spine 45, we have looked forward to each Abbas Kiarostami the Criterion Collection has shown us. Color us intrigued when we found out that Like Someone In Love (2012) was made in Japan. Unfortunately, Pat maybe gets a little hung up on the fact that much of what the characters in this movie do don't really make sense within Japanese culture. Aside from that, it's a fantastic film.
Spine surgery has come a long way, but not every patient is offered the same options. In fact, the treatment you're offered can depend a lot on who you ask. Why is that? In this episode of Get Back to Your Life®, VSI spine surgeons Dr. Christopher Good and Dr. Alex Upfill-Brown have a candid conversation about where spine surgery stands today, where it still falls short, and what patients should know before making decisions about their treatment. They explore why two surgeons can look at the same problem and recommend very different approaches, the growing role of motion-preservation and minimally invasive treatments, and how rapidly advancing technologies like robotics and AI are making spine surgery more precise, predictable, and safer for patients. They also discuss why a second, or even third, opinion can be so valuable, the most important questions patients should ask when choosing a spine surgeon, and why planning for recovery should begin before surgery ever takes place. Plus, Dr. Upfill-Brown shares the unexpected path that led him to spine surgery, why he chose to join VSI, and the personal philosophy that guides the way he cares for every patient. Whether you're considering spine surgery, searching for another opinion, or simply trying to understand what options may be available, this unfiltered conversation offers an inside look at how spine care is evolving, and just how that evolution can ultimately mean better options and better outcomes for patients.

With Il sorpasso (1962), Criterion once again shows us a single movie from a director we've never heard of and they will never mention again. As per usual, this is a great movie. An road trip through the effects of consumerism across class lines in post-war Italy, the film is a pretty clear inspiration for Easy Rider, and maybe after contextualizing Easy Rider as an American Il sorpasso we could like that movie more, too bad we'll never watch it again.

What happens when we stop designing buildings only for what they do, and start designing them for how they make us feel?For architect and sustainability leader Robert Hopkins, it is a question that has shaped more than 25 years of practice. From the Spine for the Royal College of Physicians to the extraordinary forest at the heart of the Thrive Health and Wellbeing Centre in Salford, Robert's work brings together sustainability, health, nature and people in ways that feel both deeply considered and surprisingly intuitive.His journey began at university, when a group of students watched the Bullring shopping centre in Birmingham being demolished to make way for another shopping centre and thought: “This is absolutely potty.” They wondered whether there was another way, and set up their own sustainability studio, exploring the reuse of buildings and the environmental issues that mattered to them.That instinct to question the obvious has stayed with him. Initially focused heavily on building performance, Robert says that around ten years ago he began to refocus his efforts on a different question: how do people actually feel when they are in these really interesting buildings?That shift towards people and health has become central to his understanding of biophilic design.“For me, biophilia was actually about accessibility,” he explains. Not whether people can physically get into and around a building, but whether they can access it neurologically: whether they can feel comfortable, feel themselves and feel happy in the space. “It was actually just about taking a step back and thinking what really makes people feel really good somewhere.”The Spine, in Liverpool, became an extraordinary opportunity to put that thinking into practice. The building was developed with the Royal College of Physicians, a client that challenged the design team to provide evidence for the decisions they were making. Robert introduced the WELL Standard, but the process quickly became something much deeper than collecting accreditation points.Because the College's own members and fellows had authored much of the medical research underpinning the standard, Robert and his team were able to speak directly to the people behind the research — and challenge it.Although both The Spine and Daphne Steele have both achieved WELL platinum, “we weren't actually that bothered about the score that we got at all,” he said. Instead at each stage, his team kept asking why it mattered to people.That thinking filtered down into thousands of decisions. Materials is something that we in Biophilic Design focus on. On the Spine, they set rule: “If you could touch it, it's real.” Materials were chosen for their authenticity, biophilic quality and longevity, recognising that spending a little more at the outset could create an interior that would remain good for decades.Other rules they worked to was that nobody would sit more than seven metres from a window and a view. Light was carefully considered, including a façade designed to create the effect of dappled light associated with Japanese forest bathing. Plants were selected for their ability to help remove toxins from the atmosphere based on research from NASA. Air filtration, food, lighting and even the possibility of birdsong were considered as part of the wider experience.The result is a building where, Robert observes, people behave differently. “Everyone's really nice to one another. And everyone talks to one another.” That matters. This is evidence that Biophilic Design can change behaviour.The same principle runs through Thrive, the University of Salford's Health and Wellbeing Centre, where Robert and his team approached trauma-informed design from the very beginning. The brief started with a blank sheet of paper and a request to create an environment that encourages and supports trauma-informed care.The team explored the research and broke the idea down into practical principles, beginning with a felt sense of safety. That influenced everything from how people arrive at the building to the routes they can take through it.Putting people firstRather than automatically placing people into a large, dramatic entrance space, Thrive offers alternative routes. There are different kinds of waiting spaces, different acoustics and different levels of enclosure. Choice and empowerment become part of the architecture.In consultation rooms, patients can adjust the lighting themselves. They can even choose to move to an outdoor terrace during a consultation. These are small interventions, but Robert is interested in what they do psychologically. The point is not to tick a WELL requirement for adjustable lighting but is to give someone control.“It's not for me to say what makes you feel comfortable,” he says. “All I have to do is have an adjustable light.”That empathy extends beyond individual buildings. When master planning around the Daphne Steele Building in Huddersfield, Robert's team deliberately moved away from thinking about developments in terms of square footage. They considered what makes a place feel alive, connected and human.Buildings were broken up so that people could see one another. Outdoor spaces and terraces were distributed throughout the development. Social spaces were created not just around buildings but within them and on their edges.Because, Robert believes, when you bring people together with the right ingredients in place, “eventually they do actually start being nice to one another.”Perhaps the most revealing insight into his process is that this starts with listening. “Every voice matters,” he says. When developing Thrive, the team interviewed more than 100 people before designing anything. They offered different ways of participating — in-person cafés, virtual cafés, physical and virtual meetings. They wanted people to be in their comfort zone so they could understand not simply the answer they thought the designers wanted to hear, but what could actually make a difference to them.It is this approach that makes Robert' advice to other designers so simple.“Don't chase points.” Instead, look at the research. Understand why something matters. Focus on the human outcome. “If you totally focus your efforts on the why,” he says, “then the accreditation just falls out at the end.”There is no single formula for biophilic design. Robert is clear that every project is different.

Spine specialist, Dr. Ryan Lawrence shares a story about a man with a "pinch" in his neck that progressed to arm numbness and tingling. Dr. Ryan Lawrence Doctor of ChiropracticDC If you've tried other treatments without lasting results, or you're not quite sure chiropractic is for you, that's exactly the kind of patient Dr. Ryan wants to hear from. With clinical experience spanning California, Florida, and Tennessee, including work with military veterans and within multidisciplinary care teams, he has learned that pain rarely tells the whole story. Dr. Ryan takes a genuinely curious approach to every visit: he wants to understand your history, your daily life, and what you're trying to get back to, not just the symptoms that brought you in. Patients who feel unheard elsewhere often say his appointments feel different. Because they are. You don't need to have everything figured out before you come in. He'll help with that part.

We are thrilled to finally have another film from our (second?) favorite Danish director. Master of the House (1925) is the earliest Carl Th. Dreyer we've seen and the last the Criterion has to offer us. When we watched our last Dreyer film, this one wasn't even in the Collection yet. Unfortunately, there's a reason this is the only film from Dreyer's pre-Joan of Arc period. While the seeds of what we love about Dreyer are there, this light domestic dramedy doesn't hit nearly as nicely as any of his later work that we've seen. But hey, it's still Dreyer.
Upon news of Dolly Parton's death last week, flags across the country were lowered to half-mast. A petition circulated to rename the Nashville airport in her honor, and social media read like a greatest-hits reel of the charisma and musical acumen that made her universally beloved. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham and Naomi Fry are joined by three fellow New Yorker writers to celebrate Parton's life and work, and the legacy she leaves behind. Kathryn Schultz, who penned Parton's Postscript, discusses her undersung, “Oprah-like” business savvy and deep commitment to philanthropic causes; Amanda Petrusich distills Parton's vast discography down to three essential tracks; and Lauren Michele Jackson considers how the star's carefully crafted persona played up aspects of her femininity while transcending divisions of race and class. “The ready word one reaches for is ‘saint,' right?” Schultz says. “This is someone who came from nothing and might reasonably have felt the instinct to hoard everything she had. And she had the absolute opposite instinct, which was to give as much away as she could.” Read, watch, and listen with the critics: “9 to 5” (1980) Dolly Parton's “Jolene” “Dolly Parton for the People,” by Kathryn Schultz (The New Yorker) “Dolly: My Life and Other Unfinished Business,” by Dolly Parton “Country Music” (2019) Dolly Parton's “Better Get to Livin' ” “What Dolly Parton Built,” by Amanda Petrusich (The New Yorker) Beyoncé's “JOLENE” Dolly Parton's “The Bridge” Dolly Parton's “Little Bird” “The United States of Dolly Parton,” by Lauren Michele Jackson (The New Yorker) Barbara Walters's 1978 interview with Dolly Parton “Taking In the Scene at Daisy Chain Fields, the Zoomer Lilith Fair,” by Lauren Michele Jackson (The New Yorker) “Back: Essays on the Soul and Spine of America,” by Lauren Michele Jackson Dolly Parton's “Backwoods Barbie” New episodes drop every Thursday.

Dive into our literary analysis of House of Flame and Shadow by Sarah J. Maas, the long-awaited third novel in the bestselling Crescent City series. In this season, we break down House of Flame and Shadow through an academic lens, using our combined 13 years of literary training to analyze Bryce Quinlan, Hunt Athalar, Ruhn Danaan, Lidia Cervos, and the novel's most pivotal character arcs, relationships, and world-building. We explore Sarah J. Maas's use of symbolism, mythology, foreshadowing, narrative structure, and character development while examining the book's biggest themes, including fate, power, identity, sacrifice, love, and redemption. Whether you're searching for a House of Flame and Shadow recap, Crescent City theories, Sarah J. Maas Easter eggs, Maasverse connections, ACOTAR crossovers, or in-depth literary analysis, this season is your complete companion to one of the most talked-about fantasy books of the year. Spoilers: This episode contains full spoilers for House of Earth and Blood, House of Sky and Breath, as well as the entire ACOTAR series (A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, Frost and Starlight, and A Court of Silver Flames). Any other books or larger Sarah J. Maas universe theories and connections will be discussed in a separate Breadcrumbs and Broomsticks episode. Chapters Summary: Ithan heads to the House of Flame and Shadow to seek a necromancer to raise Sigrid from the dead, and in the process becomes Jesiba Roga's unwilling assistant. Bryce returns from Prythian, only to be caged like an animal in the Autumn King's estate. Lidia puts her plan into motion, breaking Ruhn, Hunt and Baxian from the Asteri's palace and destroying the Spine of Pangera with the help of Ophion and Irythis. But her best laid plans take a turn, requiring the males to fly for the Depth Charger while Lidia faces down the wolves she once led, knowing it'll be her doom. The question we ask ourselves this week: Now that we're in part 2 of HOFAS, how have the themes of the story and character arcs changed or remained the same?

These are songs of discernment and hope, with simple and effective production, offering a blueprint for better days. The Ballads Of The Last Light by Gea Wildwood favorite track One Step Away From Dawn Italian Gea Wildwood has collaborated with Canadian fantasy author Nick Betts here. Together they wrote the lyrics to two of the songs, and besides her dulcet vocals, she plays acoustic guitar, cello, zither, and Native American flute. Each song represents a different book of Betts' pentalogy, “Fates of Aten,” and are done in a medieval/Celtic style. All The Pretty Little Horses by Witch Of The Vale & Melanie Witch of the Vale with, yes, you heard me right, Melanie, take the classic little lullaby into darker territory. Spine-tinglingly spooky FREE! by David Carroll favorite track The Female Transport Folk rocker David Carroll returns with a few of his friends for some more rollicking and frolicking with traditional tunes under the guise of Bold Reynold. There are both male and female vocals here, plus instrumentation including crumhorns, cor anglais, uilleann pipes, fiddle, bouzouki, dulcimer, bass, percussion, and of course, electric guitar. Human Music: Live Improvisations I by Jessica Roch favorite track St. John on Bethnal Green, Oct. ’24 Multi-instrumentalist Jessica Roch is a classically trained violinist and pianist, but that doesn't stop her from exploring far afield. Here, she is improvising live, and the pieces are both spare and rich. She conceived this as “a protest and rejection of AI generated music,” and it illustrates beautifully that AI just isn't a substitute for artistry. The Cicadas by Dead Can Dance This is more Brendan Perry, solo, than DCD, but I feel this latest single captures much of the spirit of the incandescent duo. It's very medieval in feel, and the dissonant female chorus lightens up the darkness. Donn/Dubh by Arun Sood & Angeline Morrison favorite track A Rìbhinn a Bheil Cuimhn’ Agad Collaboration between Arun Sood and Angeline Morrison, this is altogether haunting. And fittingly so, as it is an exploration of ancient Celtic texts, which referred differing wind directions to certain colours. Chill-inducing, it feels as if you've suddenly awoken to find you have traversed time and found yourself on desolate shores, with music and voices drifting on the currents of wind. The Gods Laugh by Alison Cotton favorite track Sprigs of Heather UK Multi-instrumentalist and composer utilizes viola, harmonium, piano, percussion, and synths, plus her vocals on this drone-y psych-y folk-y release. She sometimes reaches into avant/ambient territory, further cementing the overall haunting atmosphere. Borrow or Rob by Andrew Bird favorite track Tables and Chairs (Orchestral Version) This is a reimagining of some of the pieces honouring a 20-year old release, that somehow skipped my attention at the time. Andrew is a superb violinist and vocalist, who writes very quirky songs that mostly touch on folk, rock and swing, and he whistles like nobody's business. Most of these are being performed with orchestra, live, on this outing. Sorry I missed the boat the first time, but I'm a happy passenger now. With snacks! The Dark by CHELSEA WOLFE favorite track Cold Dark gothic folk doom artist Chelsea Wolfe continues in her signature introspective and observational songwriting that define her work. The production is mostly hushed, with washy, fuzzed, and at times, bombastic guitars, provided by notable guests. These are all songs of loss, whether chosen or inflicted. Her anguished vocals and lyrics really cut to the heart of processing deep grief, and she finally finds solace among the night stars, and perhaps, even a ghost that she is mourning. Of The Birds by The Thorn This is the other single released this year by the artists formerly known as Large Plants. With it's fuzzy guitars, sweet vocals, and lysergic harmonies, this is gorgeous folk rock, harkening back to it's heyday, and perfectly executed.

We are thrilled to finally have another film from our (second?) favorite Danish director. Breaking the Waves (1996) is the first film Lars von Trier made after establishing the Dogme 95 framework, but he mostly ignored that to make a 1970s period piece about patriarchy, religious and otherwise, in rural Scotland.
Golf instruction has become increasingly technical. Ground forces. Hip rotation. Spine angles. Wrist positions. Speed training. But are golfers paying attention to the wrong thing? In this episode, Mark sits down with Ed LeBeau, founder of Heartland Golf Schools, for a fascinating conversation about simplifying the golf swing and returning the golfer's attention to the one thing that ultimately determines what happens to the ball: The golf club. Drawing heavily from the teachings of legendary instructor Manuel de la Torre, Ed explains why he favors a club-focused approach rather than trying to consciously control individual movements of the body. According to Ed, a successful golf shot ultimately requires three essentials: Center contact The club moving toward the intended target, and Enough speed to produce the required distance. From there, the conversation explores: Balance, Visualization, Grip, Ball Position, Swing Speed, Tempo, Shot Dispersion and why trying harder doesn't always produce better golf. Ed and Mark also discuss Scottie Scheffler, Jack Nicklaus, Hal Sutton, Louis Oosthuizen, Ernie Els, Luke Donald, Henrik Stenson, Manuel de la Torre and Ernest Jones while examining what great players and teachers can teach recreational golfers about simplicity. Among the topics discussed: Why Ed believes modern golf instruction has become too body-focused. Why the golf club — not the body — ultimately controls ball flight. Starting with the desired shot rather than individual swing positions. The powerful role visualization plays before and during a golf shot. Why center contact should be one of every golfer's priorities. How balance helps establish consistent contact. Why target awareness matters during the swing. The advantages of a neutral grip. Scottie Scheffler's remarkably quiet hands and clubface control. Why a golf swing should feel body-friendly and relatively effortless. The difference between maximum speed and maximum effective speed . Why chasing distance can sometimes make golfers worse. Why Ed advises golfers to find the fairway first. Ball position and its influence on clubface orientation. How Manuel de la Torre simplified golf instruction Why there shouldn't be 14 completely different swings for 14 clubs. Using the same basic swing concept from putting through the Driver. How tempo can organize a golf swing. Mark's experience practicing with a Metronome. Why shot dispersion may matter more than obsessing over perfect contact. How golfers can practice without hitting a ball. Why you should write down what works after a lesson, and The golf paradox of looking at the ball without making the ball your primary focus.

Shannon Hatfield grew up in section 8, her dad in federal prison, and her mom spent 2 decades working through OxyContin, black market heroin, and finally fentanyl. She's now a chiropractor running Evolve Sport and Spine working with professional athletes and anyone needing help. Shannon talks about what growing up inside that house actually looked like: finding her mom nodding out with cigarettes on her chest, being brought to the ER as the "normal daughter" so her mom could look functional enough to get Dilaudid, building boundaries as she got older, and being told "you think you're better than us" every time she took a step towards furthering her education. Her brother was also deep in meth and heroin while she was in college. Shannon gets into the medical philosophy that came out of all of it: the system was made so that over-prescription is the rule not the exception, the insurance model is broken by design, and her job is to sit with people long enough to actually figure out what's wrong.My Parents' Addictions Led Me To Become A Doctor w/ Shannon Hatfield | The Hopeaholics Podcast #356Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsGo to www.Wolfpak.com today and support our sponsors.

"They're really worried that radiation is going to be painful. So they come in for that first day of treatment very anxious. With our patients with brain cancer, we're using the masks on the table, and those masks are very tight and hold their heads very, very still. So they'll be very worried about being claustrophobic. We may start out the first day or two with a little bit of [lorazepam]. And they'll come to me and they'll say, 'This really hasn't been as bad as I thought it was going to be,'" ONS member Catherine McCluskey, BSN, RN, OCN®, ROCN™, radiation oncology staff nurse at Atrium Health Wake Forest Baptist in Winston-Salem, NC, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, who was the manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS at the time of the recording, during a conversation about radiation side effects in central nervous system (CNS) cancers.

Highlights From This Episode "With primary tumors—glioblastomas, astrocytoma, all of those types of cancerous primary CNS tumors, the tumors are not very well-defined. They have little tentacles that kind of go out, so doing something like Gamma Knife, which is very precise, is not as effective as an external beam because the external beam will deliver radiation to all those little tentacles that are out there in the brain. And with Gamma Knife, you really can't effectively do that." TS 2:34 "When we're doing radiation to the brain, fortunately there aren't that many acute toxicities involved. Sometimes they'll have some mild dermatitis. Usually, it's not very significant. They, like everyone else who gets radiation, will have fatigue. Usually once we get to the end of the second week of radiation, into the third week for our patients with primary CNS tumors—the hair loss—they'll start to notice hair loss just in the treatment area. But those are typical, the things that we've seen most. Sometimes we'll have patients who will experience some nausea, maybe a few headaches, but really the acute toxicities are not severe typically with our patients with brain tumors." TS 8:30 "[For] the fatigue, I tell patients to just listen to their bodies. We don't want them to be sedentary, and we want them to go out and continue living their lives. But I do warn them that the fatigue is pretty much common to all patients receiving radiation at various degrees, depending on the patient. I just tell them to do what they feel like doing, and then when they're tired to rest, and if they find themselves having a nap in the afternoon, that's okay." TS 13:51 "What I find with these patients in particular is that a lot of times, their first symptoms related to any type of cancer are CNS symptoms from brain metastasis. Our patients with lung cancer or melanoma—they come in through the emergency room for altered mental status or seizures or something like that. They find a mass in their brain, and then they find a mass on their lung, or they find masses everywhere. Typically, they want to treat the brain masses first before they start them on any kind of systemic treatment. And so, they'll come to us, and they're in shock. Everything's happened very quickly. They haven't had a chance to really catch their breath. They're overwhelmed. And so I try to make sure they understand that everyone that they see here is part of their team and is with them through this journey and they're not alone." TS 25:36 "A couple of years ago, ONS put out an email asking for people to volunteer to do a delineation study about the feasibility of doing a radiation oncology certified nursing exam. And I, just on a whim, responded to that email. It's not something I've ever done before, and thinking that I would not be put on the team. … And I thought, 'I don't have enough experience, I don't know what I'm doing, and they won't choose me.' And lo and behold, they put me on this role delineation study. … I have met so many incredible nurses with all kinds of experience. I've learned so much. It has opened up a lot of things for me and it's been really exciting, so all I can do is say take advantage of those opportunities when they come. Don't think that you don't know enough, because you know more than you think you do." TS 32:38

A young patient walks in with ordinary back pain and leaves on a path that can quietly weaken the muscle holding the spine together. Francisco M. Torres is an interventional physiatrist who noticed these patients coming back to him sooner, and traced it to radiofrequency ablation denervating the multifidus, the back's most important stabilizer, until the muscle atrophies and fills with fat. This episode is based on his article "Radiofrequency ablation and the young back pain patient," published on KevinMD. You will hear why insurers began steering these patients toward the procedure, why most of the evidence comes from older patients with degeneration rather than people in their twenties, and why he believes the muscle damage should be spelled out in the consent form. He explains why generic core exercises fall short, how facet injections and targeted rehabilitation offer a lower-risk path, and the exact questions to ask before you agree.

What happens when a nurse gives 14 years to the ICU, survives COVID on the front lines, fractures her spine, and battles PTSD... and still finds her way back to hope? That's Ashley Chancellor's story. And she is telling all of it. In this episode of the Beat Nurse Burnout Podcast, we sit down with Ashley Chancellor, RN, bestselling author of Just a Nurse: Memoir on the Heartbeat of Healing, Writing Coach, and Self-Empowerment Coach for nurses. Ashley spent 14 years in critical care, traveled as an ICU nurse for 9 of those years, and watched the healthcare system collapse from the front row. Then COVID broke more than just the system... it broke her physically and emotionally. At 38, Ashley retired from bedside nursing. But she didn't stop caring. She started writing to heal, found God in the process, and now empowers other nurses to heal themselves first so we can heal the world together. In this episode we talk about: How burnout shows up in high-achieving nurses What it means to heal your body, your mind, AND your spirit after trauma Writing as a tool for self-discovery and emotional processing Finding faith in the wreckage of burnout What "doing the nursing you love" actually looks like outside the hospital walls Ashley's free resource to begin your own healing journey Keywords: nurse burnout, ICU nurse burnout, travel nurse burnout, nurse PTSD, nursing and mental health, healing from burnout, nurses leaving bedside, nurse memoir, just a nurse book, writing to heal, faith and nursing, holistic nurse wellness, nurse self-care, burned out nurse recovery, nurse leader burnout, Christian nurse, nurse empowerment, nursing trauma, leaving bedside nursing, nurse coach podcast Connect with Ashley:

In tonight's dead letter, listener John is nineteen, home from his freshman year and a few shifts into a summer dishwashing job at a grand old house on Michigan's Old Mission Peninsula that has been a restaurant since the 1950s. The staff there blame anything strange in the building on a ghost they call Genevieve, and John doesn't believe in any of that. One warm night he goes upstairs to change out of his kitchen clothes, and the bulb pops the second he flips the switch. Strange enough on its own, but what happens next is why this particular night stuck with him.Note: The room referenced at Waverly in the Episode is 503. It should have been 502.Relevant Prior EpisodesGreyfriar's Kirkyard Halloween SpecialThe Sallie House – Ghost in the Machine Part 1Lockdown at Waverly SanatoriumThe True Story behind the Conjuring Part 1A Live Reading with Jim Hunt - Psychic MediumLinks and Further ReadingThe Mission Table Restaurant of Bowers Harbor: A Splendid Building, But Not a Residence for a Ghost — Julie Schopieray, Grand Traverse JournalWould the Real Mrs. Stickney Please Stand Up?
