In this episode, we're talking about reimagining your life. When you reimagine your life, your relationship, your career, your parenting style, or wherever you need to put that energy, you're opening yourself up to so many opportunities. Not only can it give you more space, reimagining these aspects can help you feel better. You might feel closer to your partner, as Dr. Mark and I do, you can feel like a better parent, and you can have more clarity over what you want in your career.   Reimagining Your Life is Exciting Plus, isn't the very act of reimagining your life exciting? You have all these options and possibilities in front of you and get to choose who you want to be and show up as. Mark and I especially enjoyed this process when we reimagined how we want to parent. One thing that really helped me and Mark with our relationship was taking The Love Languages quiz. By understanding what ways we both need to feel love and how each other express it, we're in a much better position to be better partners.  Finally, Mark and I talk about how important it is to set boundaries when we're reimagining the areas of our lives. It's all well and good to make changes in x, y, z areas, but if you're not setting firm boundaries, you might find yourself sliding into old habits.   Homework for Women Physicians How can you start to reimagine some of the areas in your life?

Finding balance, support, and boundaries with your partner can be difficult, especially when you're spending near-constant time together. I'm joined by my husband, Dr. Mark Novitsky, to talk about re-evaluating our relationship. Setting goals and boundaries, making time and effort, and supporting each other is essential for a healthy, thriving, happy relationship.   Re-Evaluate your Relationship By: Scheduling regular check-ins for all the different hats you wear Supporting your partner when they need it Set and stick to realistic boundaries, even when it's hard Recognize the effort your partner makes   About Mark Novitsky, MD Dr. Mark Novitsky is a Board Certified Child and Adolescent Psychiatrist and Board Certified Adult Psychiatrist.  Dr. Mark believes that effective work with children involves working closely with parents, schools, and other medical/mental health providers - to achieve a joint goal of optimizing a child's well-being.   His extensive clinical experience includes, but is not limited to: Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) Mood Disorders Depressive disorder Bipolar disorder Anxiety Disorders and Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) Childhood trauma/Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) Oppositional Defiant Disorder and Conduct Disorder Autism Spectrum Disorder Substance Use Disorders Dr. Mark is an adjunct faculty for Lewis Katz School of Medicine at Temple University's Department of Psychiatry.  He was previously the Corporate Medical Director for one of Philadelphia's largest non-profit Child Mental Health Organizations.  He is a graduate of The Beck Initiative, a joint collaboration between The Aaron T.

Living and working in the same house proved to be more challenging than we'd initially expected. We both found ourselves pushing boundaries. It's still a work-in-progress, but Mark and I opened the conversations that needed to happen so we could get our relationship and happiness back. We knew we needed to establish our goals in our relationship and as parents, but first, we needed to figure out our individual goals. By setting our individual goals, we were able to fit them into our shared goals easier. What's worked for us is setting aside time to discuss each of the different hats we wear; for example, if we're on a walk, we dedicate one topic per lap. It's all about finding what works for you.   Support Your Partner, Especially When Things Are Hard One of the things we've learned over the last two years is how to support each other as parents, too. Even though we have different parenting styles, we can still show up and ‘tap-in' when we see the other struggling or needing a bit of extra alone time. When things get difficult, as they do, especially when spending close to 24 hours together, we've found that remembering what originally drew us to each other is helpful. Going back to those early roots can help a relationship stay alive and loving. Finally, it doesn't have to always be about the outcome. I've noticed how Mark is making more of an effort in many different areas. I'm so excited to see how our relationship together, as parents, and as business owners continues to grow and evolve.   Homework for Women Physicians Are you and your partner setting aside time to have the conversations you need to? Do you struggle to set boundaries with your partner? Let me know in the comments on the episode page how I can support you!   In This Episode  How to discuss your goals as a couple [7:00] Why it's not only okay but essential, to have individual goals in a relationship [12:30] The importance of supporting your partner as parents [15:00] Remember why you fell for your partner in the beginning [22:30] The importance of setting aside time to have specific conversations [27:00] Why the effort often matters more than the outcome [28:30]   Quotes “The conversation for us started with talking about our couple's goals. But, in order to get to those couple's goals, we needed to start with talking about our individual goals and what we're bringing to the table.” [6:55] “That individual goal really was more than that. I wanted to have the time with Ali, I wanted to be able to do these walks. Once I committed to that goal, I was able to find time, even in this current busy schedule, to achieve some of that.” [13:24] “How did we want to show up as parents? One of the things that we both agreed on was that we wanted to give them life experiences. We want to travel as much as we can, we want to do all those different types of things. When we have that bit to look forward to, it really reminds us of the parents that we do want to be. So when the little things happen, the feistiness or the dumbbells getting thrown, when the tap-outs are happening, we have a vision of how we want to show up as our best selves, as parents. Knowing that there will be different parenting styles amongst partners but it doesn't matter. You can still work those in and choose to support each other.” [17:36]   Resources Mentioned Check out the full episode page here Find Life Coaching for Women Physicians Online Follow Dr. Ali Novitsky on Facebook | Instagram  Subscribe to Life Coaching for Women Physicians on Apple Podcasts Podcast production by the team at Counterweight Creative   Related Episodes Episode 79: Do More of What Works  Episode 81: Say "Yes" to Yourself  Episode 77: Not Just One of The Guys

One of the most controversial styling trends centers around one of the most popular trends of our time: the crossover coupe. The Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S takes the crossover coupe style and blends it with the outlandish Mercedes 4.0-liter turbocharged V8 to make one of the more interesting combinations of performance, utility and style on the road. Based on the standard GLE-class Mercedes-Benz, the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S is a 603 hp people mover with all of the attitude you'd expect from an AMG. Of course, this top-flight crossover isn't a bare-bones performance machine and is also well-appointed with leather and soft-touch materials throughout the interior and lots of high-tech consumer features. On this episode of Quick Spin, Patrick Carone hops behind the wheel of the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S and puts it through its paces. Carone guides you around this GLE 63 S in a recorded walk around and takes you along for a real-time drive review. Adding to those segments, Carone expands on his thoughts with host Wesley Wren. The pair talk about the GLE 63 S's features, its price and the experience of driving this Mercedes-AMG. Closing the show, the pair talk about what makes the 2021 Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 S special.

What if...we turned immersive entertainment into our greatest tool for healing and growth? This is the question that drives Alex Kaplan every day, and what led him to form the non-profit Of Substance. By using story telling in the form of mini movies to deliver an immersive experience that heals through depicting addiction- the struggle and triumph- around it Alex shares with The Two Jess(es) his journey of addiction, and how he has used his passion for movie making and his commitment to vulnerability to propel him forward and turn his mess into his message. His belief is that we have ALL felt that we are not good enough, we all deal with the experiences of embarrassment, shame and unworthiness and the answer is connection and belonging.Meet Alex!Alex Kaplan, a Philadelphia native and LA transplant, was trained as an actor in the University of Miami's conservatory and transitioned to a career behind the camera as a producer and director for the past decade.Today, Alex is the Co-founder & Executive Director of Of Substance, an innovative non-profit revolutionizing addiction and mental health treatment, education, and support, using premium entertaining short films as a tool for deeper healing, growth, and transformation.After surviving his own battles with addiction, Alex recognized the power of story as a tool in his recovery and found an exciting way to use his filmmaking experience to help others on their paths of overcoming struggles of shame & isolation.The biggest thing he learned on his journey is that his issue was far less about using substances than it was about WHY he used substances; It was about shame, isolation, a fear of not belonging, and a fear of not being good enough.Alex and his co-founder Brian Gallagher built Of Substance to help us all recognize that we're not alone in these feelings and to positively transform people's relationships with themselves, others, and their beliefs in what's possible.Most importantly, Alex is now a proud husband, supportive member of his family, and a friend on whom others can lean, having risen from his struggles with addiction and refusing to give up. Of Substance.Of Substance is a nonprofit revolutionizing addiction, mental health, and suicide prevention, education, treatment, and support thought movies!We make premium entertaining short films, mini-movies you really like watching, that tackle all of our struggles in a way that helps us overcome the shame, blame, and stigma we all experience, reminding us that we're not crazy, we're not alone, and we're already doing great!We're turning movies into an approachable and captivating tool for transformation, that expedites and enhances the journey through healing and growth.Support the show (http://www.paypal.com)

Substance addition - more traditional idea of addiction to a substance that causes a physiological addiction (that's not to say there aren't behavioural elements). Often mind-altering substances.Behavioural addiction - behaviours that impact the rewards centres of the brain, such as gambling, binge eating, sex, shopping, gaming, exercise, cosmetic surgery, watching porn, risky behaviours.The current Diagnostic and Statistical Manual, 4th Edition (DSM-IV-TR) has designated formal diagnostic criteria for several of these disorders, classifying them as impulse control disorders, a separate category from substance use disorders. Other behaviors (or impulse control disorders) have been included in DSM-IV DSM – gambling, kleptomania, internet gaming disorder, internet addiction, food addiction, hypersexuality, shopping addiction, exercise addiction, and tanning addiction.Behavioural addictions have more than tripled in the last decade while substance abuse has remained relatively stable over the last 20 years. This also correlates with the widespread use of social media (correlation not causation!)Phones - one click on Amazon prime, a few clicks to online porn, a few clicks to takeaway orders, a few clicks to place an online bet…Signs of behavioural addiction:* Spending the majority of your time engaging in the behavior, thinking about or arranging to engage in the behavior, or recovering from the effects* Becoming dependent on the behavior as a way to cope with emotions and to “feel normal”* Continuing despite physical and/or mental harm* Having trouble cutting back despite wanting to stop* Neglecting work, school, or family to engage in the behavior more often* Experiencing symptoms of withdrawal (for example, depression or irritability) when trying to stop* Minimizing or hiding the extent of the problemGambling - Johnson & Dixon (2009) used a response cost to reduce gambling behaviours in pathological gamblers by getting the participants to pay to gamble (or have the dealer perform the response for free). Only partially successful. To me this makes sense. To gamble, you have to pay?!Dixon, Marley & Jacobs (2003) found through multiple measures of delay discounting indicated that gamblers discounted delayed rewards (1 week later) more steeply than did control participants. SO maybe casinos/online gambling forums should deliver rewards one week/month/year later?Interestingly, there have also been behavioural interventions for substance abuse disorders, such as alcoholism and heroin use published in JABA.Personal use?- Baseline data- Social validity- Determine intervention- Take dataRef:Johnson, T.E. and Dixon, M.R.

On this week's episode of Kickin & Streamin Podcast, Graham & Jocelyn are joined by Geaux Dee & Smash of the Talka Brothas Podcast to review the much anticipated 'The Harder They Fall.'  A film by Jeymes Samuel, British writer, director, singer-songwriter, and music produce. The Harder They Fall became one of the most anticipated and talked about upcoming films in 2021 because it would be a Western film featuring all black cast; which included Regina King, Idris Elba, Zazie Beetz,  Jonathan Majors, Lakeith Stanfield, among others. The film, although a fictional story, portrayed real-life historical Black Americans who existed in the old American West. Graham, Jocelyn, Geaux Dee, and Smash review the film's overall production from the story arcs, the portrayals, the score, and its visual components as a whole. They also ponder whether The Harder The Fall is a great Western film by itself, or it was perhaps aided by the constellation of stars who appeared in it.  The crew also addressed the accusations of colorism levied at the director and the producers of the movie for casting German-American actress Zazie Beetz as the very well known African-American female icon 'Stagecoach Mary.'  Clips of this episode will also be available to watch on our YouTube channel and please don't forget to subscribe for future episodes.

Construction hasn't always had the best image, despite having a good side. It's time to make a change! In this episode, we talk about… How the not-great contractors and construction workers out there can ruin the image of the industry for the rest of us. Why protecting a false image of success is a mistake. How some contractors who seem to be doing well and living large on social media might not be doing basic things like following up with customers and paying taxes. Substance abuse issues within the industry. Why you probably need to be taking your image more seriously than you are now. How your personal life reflects on your professional image. Education and awareness that is needed for contractors to help everyone's image across the board. Differing opinions on how appearances - like the truck you drive - factor into your professional image. How charging the appropriate amount of money for your jobs is going to enable you to boost your image. Examples of fronting and why you need to stop doing it. Actionable steps you can start taking to fix your image.

NOTE: Mortification of Spin--now, a biweekly podcast--returns with a new episode November 10th. Today: from the archives of another Alliance podcast, it's Theology on the Go with Jonathan Master and James Dolezal. What is Federal Theology? Sam Renihan joins our hosts to address this very question. Sam is a pastor at Trinity Reformed Baptist Church in La Mirada, CA and author of From Shadow to Substance: the Federal Theology of the English Particular Baptists.  Is it fair to say that Federal theology was the theology of the post-reformation English Puritan? If so, how? Sam focuses his attention on the distinctive features of Federal Theology among particular Baptists, their place in the 17th century literature, and the implications of departing from the English social institutions of long-held beliefs.

In Utah, there are around 2,700 children in foster care at any given time and some 1,300 licensed foster/adoptive families. Children in foster care often have special needs due to neglect, abuse or separation. Substance abuse is a contributing factor in many foster care cases. Parenting a child with trauma can be challenging.  Luckily, our understandings of neuroscience gives us hope. In their collaborative book, 'What Happened to You,' Oprah Winfrey and renowned brain and trauma expert Dr. Bruce Perry offer a groundbreaking and profound shift from asking “What's wrong with you?” to “What happened to you?” Our earliest experiences shape our lives far down the road, and What Happened to You? provides powerful scientific and emotional insights into the behavioral patterns so many of us struggle to understand. Here, Winfrey shares stories from her own past, understanding through experience the vulnerability that comes from facing trauma and adversity at a young age. Joining forces with Dr. Perry, one of the world's leading experts on childhood and brain development, Winfrey and Dr. Perry marry the power of storytelling with science to better understand and overcome the effects of our pasts.

On this 504th anniversary of the Protestant Reformation, we return to Romans to consider the pivotal truth that justification is by faith alone. Through Romans 4:1-5, along with Galatians three, we explore the Nature of Justification by Faith, the Substance of Justification by Faith, and the Practice of Justification by Faith.

We're leveling up on "keeping our cups full".  We have no cups.  We aren't a cup.  The cup is an illusion.  We are the Fullness. We are the Source.  We are the Substance.  We are Love. And as long as we're being That, our seeming cup will appear full enough to have an abundance to share. Today's Quote:"Imagine that being in this love is like relaxing endlessly into a warm bath that surrounds and supports your every movement, so that every thought and feeling is permeated by it. You feel as though you are dissolving into love. This love is actually part of you; it is always flowing through you. It's like the subatomic texture of the universe, the dark matter that connects everything. When you tune in to that flow, you will feel it in your own heart—not your physical heart or your emotional heart, but your spiritual heart, the place you point to in your chest when you say, “I am.”"-Ram Dass, Be Love Now

It's important that we're changing the paradigm of what leadership looked like back in the day to where we need to go with leadership today, based on the problems we're trying to solve and the talent we're trying to attract as well as our bottom and top-line growth. Today, David Robinson shares some great insights into leadership as well as some actionable steps we can do to improve as leaders. David selected the military route as his career choice, which led him to the U.S. Naval Academy but ended up spending 25 years as a fighter pilot in the U.S. Marines. For him, it was the best thing that ever happened because it helped shape and develop him as a leader, something he's really passionate about. Here are some power takeaways from today's conversation: Why David chose the military route and the life lessons he got 3 common denominator traits in leaders today The marathon mentality vs. the sprint mentality Responding in adversity 3 questions when debriefing with your team Retention strategies and ideas The 3 P's of developing a high-performing mission The power of emotional connection to influence others Episode Highlights: Things David Learned in the Military Self-leadership comes first. You have to be able to discipline and lead yourself before you can effectively lead others. With that comes emotional awareness, pressure, and how you respond emotionally to that pressure. 3 Common Denominator Traits in Leaders Today 1. Persistence The burden of leadership is real. Perseverance and persistence are important components of being able to lead an organization because things don't always go well every day. There are fires to put out and challenges to overcome. People can be complicated at times, and getting people to work together toward a common goal is quite a challenge. And that takes a level of marathon mentality. Many leaders take a sprint mentality, which can be harmful not only to themselves but also to the people that report to them. 2. Commitment to Self-Improvement Exceptional leaders have an element of humility where they are committed to self-improvement. They know they have blind spots, and they are looking for other people to help them fill in those blind spots. Acknowledge that we all have growth areas. And the first step is to get into a mentality that there is room for growth. Ask feedback from others and 3. Ability to listen As a leader, you have to listen first and then speak last. Say, "What do you think we should do?" as opposed to saying, "This is what I want you to do." Because when you listen to your people, they have great ideas most of the time, much better than your ideas. And if you stifle that conversation, expressing your opinion early on can inhibit innovation and finding the best solutions. Allow your team or two or three sub-teams to go come back to you with some answers on how they would go about accomplishing the task. This opens the aperture and allows them to think innovatively and creatively. It allows them to bring their own experience and expertise as well as ownership to their solutions. 3 questions when debriefing with your team What happened relative to our goals? Why did we either achieve or not achieve our goals? What can we do as a team to improve so the next time we do this right?
