From chasing my DUPR score to navigating frustration, identity, and ego, I reflect on how quickly we attach meaning to performance and labels. I also open up about the importance of rest, honoring slower Sundays, and allowing space to reset before stepping into a full week of leadership, meetings, and responsibility.This episode takes a deeper spiritual turn as I unpack a powerful message that came to me in the middle of the night about mind chatter, intuition, and discerning the voice of God from the voice of the human ego. I explore meditation, self awareness, entrepreneurship, purpose, and how often we justify big decisions as divine guidance when they may be driven by ambition or identity. If you are on a spiritual growth journey, building a business, questioning your inner voice, or seeking clarity between intuition and overthinking, this conversation will invite you into deeper reflection and conscious alignment.IN THIS EPISODE:(0:00) Day 4 diary kickoff: The missing DUPR score and competitive ego(1:17) Season 3 celebration and 150 dollar visa gift card giveaway(2:13) Pickleball rating confusion:...

Struggling with fertility is not easy. It's important to stay positive. For example, I like to think of you being IN-fertile. As in you're "in" the club vs. infertile meaning you're "not" fertile. Call me crazy, but I truly believe in the fertility of everyone who walks through my door. Nobody is a number or FSH or AMH level. What do those things even mean? That's what I want to talk to you today.

We open Isaiah 58 and Matthew 5–6 and discover a sharper vision: fasting that loosens chains, almsgiving that hides from applause, and love that dares to bless enemies. It's not about spiritual theatrics; it's about training the heart to choose God over self—and letting that choice spill into justice for our neighbors.We walk through the day's readings, then sit with Divine Intimacy on the Cross as the ultimate proof of love. From there, we explore how small, intentional sacrifices—skipping meat on Friday, turning down a treat, biting back a sharp word—become daily “I love yous” to God when offered with charity. The saints show the way: Teresa Margaret's steady mortification and Thérèse's “scattering flowers” reveal that sincerity beats severity. A tiny sacrifice done with burning love can outweigh a grand penance done for show.Along the way, we tackle a common question from non-Catholic friends: Why give up chocolate? We frame it in the language of everyday love—we already surrender comforts for the people we cherish. Lent simply extends that logic toward God. Tie abstinence to mercy by redirecting saved time and resources to the poor. Keep your giving quiet, your heart honest, and your gaze on the Crucified, who transforms hidden acts into deep change.If this reflection helps your Lent, share it with someone who needs encouragement, subscribe for daily readings, and leave a review so others can find us.

Before we dive in: the breakdown of this episode includes a discussion of sexual assault, and briefly mentions the Epstein Files. Please take care while listening. You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today's episode is one that hits close to home for so many of us—whether you're parenting a kid who's struggling in school, teaching in a classroom where big behaviors are on the rise, or simply wondering why it feels like more kids aren't okay right now. I had the absolute honor of sitting down with Dr. Ross Greene, clinical psychologist and author of The Explosive Child, Lost at School, and now his newest book, The Kids Who Aren't Okay: The Urgent Case for Reimagining Support, Belonging, and Hope in Schools. If you've ever heard the phrase “kids do well if they can,” you've already been impacted by Dr. Greene's work. In this conversation, we dig into what it really means to meet kids where they are—and what gets in the way of actually doing that in so many systems. We talk about why behavior isn't the whole story, why diagnoses alone can't capture the full picture, and how to shift from reactive discipline to proactive, collaborative support. If you've been feeling the weight of trying to support kids who are struggling, this episode offers both validation and real, hopeful direction. And— if this conversation sparks something for you, make sure to spread the word about the Seed Teacher Summit, going live March 10th to 12th. It's a free virtual event created to give educators the kind of ongoing support we talk about in this episode—tools to help them regulate, connect with kids, and feel less alone in the work. We'll be featuring 18 incredible speakers who share our commitment to building schools where everyone—kids and adults—can thrive.

If you've ever posted in a Facebook group asking what other stagers are charging, first of all — no shame. We've all done it. But you probably walked away more confused than when you started, because pricing a vacant staging business is genuinely complicated and a comment section just can't hold that conversation. This is an expensive business model to run, and if the pricing isn't right, it can really hurt you. It does not matter whether you're brand new or you've been in business for years. In this episode, I'm kicking off a three-part series on pricing your vacant staging service, and I'm starting with the pillar that I know trips most of us up: overhead allocation per project. It's the piece of the pricing puzzle that took me the longest to understand, and once I did, everything started to make a lot more sense. I'll walk you through what it is, how to calculate it, and what the real numbers look like for a staging business that is built to last. Listen in! My goal is that you walk away with clarity on at least this one piece of your pricing.   WHAT YOU'LL LEARN FROM THIS EPISODE: Why pricing for vacant staging is genuinely complex  and why that's not a reflection of your skill. What the three pillars of pricing are and their importance. Why you should be pricing for the business you want and not the one you have right now. How your contract term length (30, 60, or 90 days) directly impacts how much overhead each project must carry.   RESOURCES: Apply for Private Coaching: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/privatecoachingapp Enroll in Staging Business School Accelerate Track: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/accelerate Join the Staging Business School Growth Track Waitlist: www.rethinkhomeinteriors.com/growth Follow the Staging Business School on Instagram: www.instagram.com/stagingbusinessschool Follow Lori on Instagram: www.instagram.com/rethinkhome If you want to learn how to market and grow your staging business, enrollment is open for Rethink You Accelerate.

Why are young people today reporting the highest levels of anxiety, depression, loneliness, and despair in modern history?Dr. Angela Duckworth is a professor of psychology at the University of Pennsylvania and one of the world's leading voices on grit, self-control, and the science of thriving. In this conversation with Dr. Michael Gervais, Angela reflects on how her thinking about grit has evolved, where it's often misunderstood, and why perseverance without purpose can become harmful instead of helpful.They explore what excellence really looks like behind the scenes. Not the highlight reel, but the long stretch of deliberate practice and repeated effort that most people never see. Angela also reframes passion as something that develops over time, and offers a practical lens for staying committed when enthusiasm fades and outcomes take longer than expected.The conversation expands beyond performance into family life and parenting. They examine the cultural forces shaping today's youth: the rise of social media, the erosion of in-person connection, the displacement of nature, and the unintended consequences of modern parenting. Angela shares what the data actually shows about the mental health crisis, and what we as parents, educators, and leaders can do about it. In this episode, you'll learn:What grit really is, and what it isn't Why excellence comes from high-quality practice over timeHow passion develops slowly, and why it can be treated like a skillHow to stay committed when motivation fadesWhy environments shape kids more than pressure doesWhy young people's happiness has sharply declined since 2010What the research says about anxiety, depression, and loneliness in Gen ZHow screens and social disconnection may be reshaping well-beingPractical ways parents can create environments where kids can truly thrive________________________________________________________Links & ResourcesSubscribe 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!

Tired of ADHD strategies that don't work? Here's what actually does. FREE training here: https://programs.tracyotsuka.com/signup_____What if the season that feels the most destabilizing is the moment your brain is asking to be understood differently?Dr. Anupriya Gogne is a board-certified addiction psychiatrist specializing in perinatal and reproductive psychiatry at Brown University Health. She recently authored Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Adult Women.When Dr. Gogne became an attending, her caseload doubled overnight. She stayed late finishing notes while colleagues went home. Around the same time, she impulsively adopted a baby husky. Six years into her career, testing confirmed ADHD and NVLD, a visual-spatial learning difference that explained why she didn't drive until age 30 and why every parking lot looked identical.Now she treats pregnant and postpartum women with ADHD, addiction, and trauma. In this episode, Tracy and Dr. Gogne discuss ADHD and NVLD in adult women, how visual spatial differences show up in daily life, the overlap between trauma and addiction, the role of stimulants in recovery when carefully managed, and why pregnancy and postpartum can intensify symptoms through hormonal shifts and sleep deprivation.If you are in a season where your systems stopped working, this conversation offers context. Sometimes it feels out of control because it is out of control. And that means you need support, not shame.Resources: Website: https://www.brownhealth.org/providers/anupriya-gogne-md Neurodevelopmental Disorders in Adult Women: Special Considerations in the Perinatal Period: https://link.springer.com/book/10.1007/978-3-031-86588-6 Send a Message: Your Name | Email | Message If this podcast helps you understand your ADHD brain, Shift helps you train it.

“When overeating is not treated like a moral failure, it loses its power.”Do you feel the pressure to finish every bite on your plate, even after you're full, and wonder why it's so hard to stop? You're definitely not alone.

I share my own story and help you reframe these habits with compassion instead of shame, recognizing how they may have once served you. You'll walk away with practical tools to build mindful pauses into your meals, reconnect with your hunger and fullness cues, and eat in a way that truly feels good - without guilt or outdated rules attached.What You'll Learn:Why stopping when you're full isn't about willpower or discipline, and what's actually driving the struggleHow childhood experiences, praise, and family dynamics might have shaped your “clean plate club” habitsWhy compassion (not self-blame) is the key to loosening the grip of these patternsPowerful mindset shifts to start eating what and how much feels good to youHow to reconnect with your body's hunger and fullness signalsPractical action steps to gently break free from automatic plate-cleaningResources:Grab the Hunger & Fullness Scale Guide at DietCultureRebel.com/hungerfullnessscale and take your next step toward building trust with your body and food.Episode 230, The Hunger and Fullness Scale: What It Is and How to Use ItConnect with me over on Instagram at @diet.culture.rebel.Struggling with food, but not sure where to start?You don't have to feel 100% ready to get support.

#199 - Healing Eczema from the Inside Out: Toxins, Steroid Withdrawal & the Identity Shift That Changes Everything with Kat Vong If you've ever looked in the mirror and felt betrayed by your own skin… If you've been told “it's just genetic” or “here's another prescription”… If you're quietly wondering whether something deeper is going on— Stop scrolling. This episode is the one you've been waiting for. Today I'm joined by my friend Kat Vong—host of the Well Done podcast and founder-in-the-making of a clean beauty brand for women with chronic skin struggles. Kat's story is raw, emotional, and wildly empowering. After years of battling off-and-on eczema that left her in physical pain and emotional exhaustion, Kat's body erupted in severe eczema just three weeks before her wedding. We're talking weeping wounds. Steroid injections. Oral steroids. Topicals on repeat. And that was just the beginning. What unfolded over the next several years included topical steroid withdrawal, toxic overload, leaky gut, postpartum depression, a NICU stay with twins at UCLA—and ultimately, a complete identity shift that changed everything. This conversation is about more than eczema. It's about the skin–gut–toxin connection. It's about stress, identity, and the nervous system. It's about what happens when you decide to heal—and cut off every other option. The best news - whether it's your skin or something else, healing.is.possible. In This Episode, We Cover: Heavy metals, phthalates, parabens—and how toxic burden shows up in your skin Leaky gut and why “everything” can suddenly become a trigger Why detox can initially make flares worse The missing piece in chronic healing: identity and mindset The hidden dangers of long-term topical steroid use What topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) actually looks like The beauty industry's blind spots—and what needs to change Practical skin barrier repair from the inside out How meditation rewires your biology (yes, really) Timestamps 00:00 – Meet Kat: severe eczema, beauty industry insider, and the wedding-week flare from hell 02:00 – Three types of steroids in three weeks (and why that mattered later) 03:30 – When the flares came back worse than before 05:00 – Discovering topical steroid withdrawal (TSW) and sleeping on towels 08:00 – The functional testing that changed everything: toxins, gut, inflammation 09:30 – Heavy metals, parabens, phthalates, mold—and why her practitioner was shocked 11:00 – Leaky gut, gluten markers, and the “everything is a trigger” phase 12:00 – Detox + TSW: when healing looks worse before it gets better 13:30 – Pregnancy, temporary glowing skin, and the devastating steroid shot before delivery 15:00 – NICU, postpartum depression, and the emotional toll of skin disease 18:30 – The surprising non-food trigger most people ignore: toxic burden 20:00 – Stress as gasoline on the inflammatory fire 21:30 – “You can't drain the bathtub if the faucet's still running.” 22:30 – Identity work: “I am someone who has eczema” vs. “I am someone who heals.” 26:00 – The meditations that changed her brain (inspired by Joe Dispenza and his books Breaking the Habit of Being Yourself and You Are the Placebo) 29:00 – The desperation loop that keeps people stuck 30:00 – Decide vs. choose: cutting off every other option 31:30 – Skin barrier repair explained simply (bricks + mortar analogy) 34:00 – Makeup, shame, leadership, and not feeling “enough” in the beauty industry 37:00 – Beauty, identity, and self-worth beyond appearance 39:00 – If you feel stuck, here's what you need to hear 41:00 – Turning pain into purpose 42:00 – Kat's upcoming clean beauty brand for chronic skin conditions Let's Talk Root Causes What struck me most in this conversation? It wasn't just the heavy metals or the leaky gut (although yes, those matter). It was this: You cannot heal in the same identity that created the illness. I've seen this over and over in clinical practice. We can remove inflammatory foods. We can support detox pathways. We can rebuild the gut lining. But if someone still believes, deep down, “This is just who I am”… the body listens. Kat didn't just detox her liver. She detoxed her identity. And that's where the shift happened. If You're Struggling with Chronic Condition Right Now… Here's your gentle but firm nudge: Get proper testing. Guessing is exhausting. Reduce inflammation first (you can't drain a bathtub with the faucet running). Support detox pathways before aggressive detox. Repair the gut lining. Regulate the nervous system daily. Decide that healing is happening—even if your eyes haven't caught up yet. Your body is not broken. It's communicating. And as someone who has walked countless women through chronic conditions, autoimmunity, skin flares—I can tell you: when we address toxins, gut integrity, stress, and identity together… things change.

And honestly? It's about time. If this episode resonated, send it to the friend who keeps saying, “It's just my hormones,” or “I guess I just have sensitive skin.” Sometimes it's not just sensitive skin. Sometimes it's your body asking for a new story. And that story? It can end very differently than it began.   ✨Join the conversation: Share your thoughts with us on social media or in the comments!

Struggling with constant sibling fights? Learn how to help siblings get along when one is dysregulated as Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™, shares practical strategies to calm nervous systems, restore connection, and support every child's emotional growth.Feeling stuck in constant sibling fights? You're not alone. When one child is dysregulated, it can feel like refereeing a never-ending WWE match in your own home. But the good news? This isn't about bad behavior—it's about nervous system regulation.In this episode, I break down why sibling conflict happens, how emotional dysregulation impacts neurotypical siblings, and practical strategies for supporting siblings so the whole family can feel safer, calmer, and more connected.Why does my child fight more with their sibling than others?Sibling conflict isn't just about personality clashes—it's often a nervous system issue. When one child's brain is dysregulated, impulse control drops and neutral interactions can feel threatening. This stress spreads across the family, impacting other children and family dynamics.Key takeaways:Regulate first: Calm the dysregulated child before problem-solving.Name it: Explain, “Your sibling's brain is having a hard time—it's not because of you.”Protect siblings: Give safe spaces, predictable attention, and permission to step away.Parent example: One mom noticed her neurotypical child withdrawing during board games while her dysregulated younger child exploded. Simply creating a calm, structured activity time reduced tension and restored connection.How can I support my child while still giving attention to their sibling?It's tempting to split attention equally, but equity doesn't mean identical. A struggling child may need tailored support, while other kids still need recognition to avoid resentment.Tips for practice:Schedule one-on-one time with each child, even 10–15 minutes daily.Use family routines and predictable activities to lower stress for the entire family.Normalize dysregulation: “We all have hard moments—brains get overwhelmed.”

My kid was struggling... and I didn't even know it. We spend so much of motherhood trying to keep our kids safe, happy, and successful. We set boundaries. We try to stay one step ahead. And yet… sometimes we still miss something. In this episode, I share a personal story about discovering that my son had struggled years ago, and I had no idea at the time . I unpack the shame of “I should have known,” the fear that letting go means failing, and the mindset that keeps so many moms stuck in hyper-responsibility. I'll also explore the hard truth that we can guide our kids, love them, and support them...but we can't force change, happiness, or success. They have to decide. And learning to trust that process is one of the most humbling...and freeing...parts of this stage of motherhood. If you're trying to stop overthinking, set healthy boundaries, and figure out what letting go really looks like without disconnecting from your child, this episode will help you find your footing. Missing something doesn't mean you failed.It might mean you're raising a human...and you're allowed to be one too.

The dental hygiene profession has faced threats to lower standards of care and allow lesser-trained individuals to do our jobs in some states.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the relationship between gut health, hormones, and weight loss that most doctors won't tell you about.You'll learn why constipation causes estrogen to recirculate in your body, how backed-up toxins slow your metabolism, the gut-thyroid connection, and why "eat more fiber" actually makes things worse when you have gut dysbiosis.If you're ready to stop micromanaging your hormones and start addressing the root cause, this episode is for you.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy adding HRT on top of poor gut health is like pouring water into an overflowing bathtubWhy backed-up toxins slow your metabolism and make weight loss nearly impossibleWhat constipation actually is (hint: it's not just going less than once every 3 days)Why adding more fiber makes bloating and constipation worse if you have dysbiosisHow healing your gut naturally balances hormones and supports weight loss—without dietingTracy's story: how she stopped HRT, healed her gut, and lost two pant sizes in 12 weeksKey Takeaways[04:37] Tracy's StoryMy client Tracy came to me frustrated after starting HRT (testosterone pellet) and feeling worse—not sleeping, bloated, gaining weight, and reacting to all foods.

What people see now isn't where we started. Before Prime Family Centers was successful… we were six months from bankruptcy. In Episode 360 of The Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip Wyss and Dr. Julie Wyss share the raw, unfiltered story of what almost broke them in the early days of practice. From barely making rent to having their office broken into and their last $200 stolen, this episode dives into the pivotal moment that shaped their "No Compromise" mindset. Dr. Skip opens up about the hard conversation with their landlord that changed his perspective on commitment and responsibility. What felt harsh in the moment became one of the greatest lessons in ownership, leadership, and integrity. Together, they unpack why compromise in business, marriage, health, and standards slowly erodes momentum — and how deciding to never compromise again transformed everything. This is the behind-the-scenes story most people never hear. In This Episode You Will Learn: The Early Struggle: What it really looked like starting a practice from zero. The Breaking Point: The robbery that tested their resolve. Ownership & Commitment: The hard truth their landlord told them that changed everything. The No Compromise Standard: Why lowering expectations quietly destroys growth. Leadership Under Pressure: How adversity forges clarity in business and family life.
