If you're feeling low on motivation to start exercising or to keep up the good work, this episode is for you.In this episode, I'm joined by Christie. Christie is here to remind you that even when life changes overnight, strength, movement and hope can still be found.Christie had to relearn how to walk after cancer and then to relearn how to cycle. Just one month after lung surgery, she took part in Tour de 4, founded by Chris Hoy. She cycled 38 miles and raised over £10,000 for Cancer Research UK, as part of an event that raised more than £3 million for cancer charities. Amazing!In this conversation, we talk about finding motivation after life-altering treatment, using movement as medicine, and focusing on the here and now.If you're inspired, join us for our BOOST30 challenge in March or for a fundraising event later in the year.JOIN BOOST30: https://fundraiseformenopauseandcancer.raiselysite.com/Boost30GET INVOLVED: https://fundraiseformenopauseandcancer.raiselysite.com/To sponsor Chrissie's next event, go here: https://gofund.me/16fe7fc67Episode Highlights:00:00 Intro06:06 Post-Cancer Recovery Challenges07:51 "Facing Cancer with Resilience"12:17 Thriving as Amputee and Survivor19:01 "Monumental Charity Event Experience"23:21 Adapting to Running with Prosthetics27:23 "Embracing Change, Winging It"28:30 Couch to 5K and Community33:13 Boost30 Challenge: Empower & SupportConnect with us:For more information and resources visit our website: www.menopauseandcancer.org Or follow us on Instagram @menopause_and_cancerJoin our Facebook group: www.facebook.com/groups/menopauseandcancerchathub
This episode is a masterclass in what it really costs to be a Black man in education and what it takes to build something better. Sharif El-Mekki (Center for Black Educator Development) breaks down the “trifecta” that grinds educators down, why many recruitment efforts are ill-informed and unserious, and how a student-led rallying cry became a national pipeline movement: #WeNeedBlackTeachers. Listen and apply these takeaways to your school tomorrow:Why “work twice as hard to get half as far” can become a trap and where the pressure should go (the system, not the child)The educator “mask” that looks like strength…but is really stoicism, compartmentalization, and survivalWhat changes when you stop separating your lived experience from your teaching: students become more demanding (and that's a good thing)“Raised Woke” and the power of student agency: when young people start making real demands, like meeting real PanthersThe Black educator pipeline problem, the leaky retention reality, and why retention is the strongest recruitment strategyThe 3Ps framework: Policy & Advocacy, Professional Development, Pathways—and what it looks like in real schoolsThe mental health toll on Black male educators: experiencing bias as a kid, as a professional, and deciding whether to protect kids in the same system(0:00) Class in session + meet Sharif El-Mekki(1:15) Philly Seventh Ward + why Du Bois still matters(2:35) “Stop telling Black boys they need to be twice as good” + the John Henry warning(6:05) The mask question: what we show vs. what we carry(9:35) Ashanti's mask: purpose on the front, fear + political anger behind it(12:10) Sharif's mask: love for community on the front, stoicism + withholding his story behind it(19:55) What students do when you bring your full self: “Raised Woke,” demands, and agency(24:20) Center for Black Educator Development + rebuilding a national Black teacher pipeline(26:05) The 3Ps: policy/advocacy, professional learning, pathways(27:10) The high school pathway: teaching as CTE + Black pedagogical framework(33:15) The convening: not a conference—work, community, action (9th annual this fall)(39:35) Men's mental health + the “trifecta” that grinds Black educators down(41:55) Retention playbook + why anti-racist ecosystems retain educators(45:30) Where to follow + how to get registration updates: #WeNeedBlackTeachers(46:20) Show your mask anonymously + closing(47:10) The intergenerational power: high school + college + veteran educators in the same roomConnect with Sharif El-Mekki / Center for Black Educator DevelopmentWe Need Black Teachers (updates + newsletter): weneedblackteachers.orgHashtag: #WeNeedBlackTeachersJoin/Contribute to our Young Men's Conference: https://everforwardclub.orgJoin our Skool Community: https://www.skool.com/efc-young-mens-advocates-2345Submit Questions, Reflections, or Episode IdeasEmail us: totmpod100@gmail.comCreate your mask anonymously: https://millionmask.org/Connect with Ashanti BranchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/branchspeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BranchSpeaksX: https://x.com/BranchSpeaksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch/Website: https://www.branchspeaks.com/Support the Podcast & Ever Forward ClubHelp us continue creating spaces for young men to be seen, heard, and supported:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/branch-speaks/supportConnect with Ever Forward ClubInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/everforwardclubFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/everforwardclubX: https://x.com/everforwardclubLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-ever-forward-club/#unmaskingwithmaleeducators #takingoffthemask #millionmaskmovement #weneedblackteachers #blackmaleteachers #blackeducators #teacherretention #educationleadership #emotionalwellness

In this episode, Ashanti Branch shares what he's been witnessing in schools and in the broader social climate surrounding ICE, Alex Pretti, and how it shows up in students' bodies, behavior, and sense of safety. He opens with a lunch conversation with a group of young men who name the pressures they feel: expectations, relationships, emotions, and not always having someone they trust when they're struggling.From there, Ashanti expands into a bigger message for educators and communities: when young people (and adults) don't have a safe way to release what they're carrying, they can end up walking around like “emotional landmines”, until one moment sets everything off.Don't wait for a crisis to make emotional well-being a priority. Ask students how they're doing, build spaces for honest conversation, and use mask-making as a practical tool for connection and healing.A lunch conversation with young men: pressure, relationships, emotions, and trust“Emotional landmines” and what happens when people store it all upMasculinity, power, and what violence can look like when manhood feels threatenedStories that show the impact of fear and rhetoric on young peopleWhy silence (and “staying in our lane”) isn't a protection planA direct invitation to educators: be proactive, not reactiveHow mask-making can open honest conversations in your school/community(0:00) Welcome + why Ashanti is speaking directly in this solo reflection(2:18) Lunch with young men: emotions, expectations, trust, and vulnerability(4:10) Naming “emotional landmines” and feeling the pressure personally(5:51) Early life reflections + how we learn to see the world clearly(7:54) A quote that frames masculinity, power, and the threat of equality(12:08) A young person's testimony: “How can I focus on school when I'm worried about my family?”(16:06) “What are we willing to do to protect what we say we believe?”(18:57) A story about a 10-year-old boy and the ripple effects of fear and threats(21:41) Why people “store it up” until one moment becomes an explosion(22:02) Protests, speaking out, and finding your lane for action(26:59) A direct ask for educators: don't wait for crisis—create emotional support now(29:21) Invitation: make a mask, invite others, and build connection before the “boom”Join/Contribute to our Young Men's Conference: https://everforwardclub.orgJoin our Skool Community: https://www.skool.com/efc-young-mens-advocates-2345Submit Questions, Reflections, or Episode IdeasEmail us: totmpod100@gmail.comCreate your mask anonymously: https://millionmask.org/Connect with Ashanti BranchInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/branchspeaks/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BranchSpeaksX: https://x.com/BranchSpeaksLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashantibranch/Website: https://www.branchspeaks.com/Support the Podcast & Ever Forward ClubHelp us continue creating spaces for young men to be seen, heard, and supported:https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/branch-speaks/supportConnect with Ever Forward ClubInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/everforwardclubFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/everforwardclubX: https://x.com/everforwardclubLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-ever-forward-club/#unmaskingwithmaleeducators #millionmaskmovement #takingoffthemask #totm #doace #diaryofaconfusededucator #emotionalsafety #emotionallandmines #maskmaking #everforwardclub

When you remove alcohol, you reconnect with your real self — your needs, your values, your boundaries. You start feeling instead of numbing. You're clearer, more honest, more present. And naturally, the way you relate to people changes.Some relationships deepen. Some feel safer, more connected. Others feel harder, confusing, even misaligned. You might not want to stay out late. You might say no more often. You might no longer tolerate chaos, gossip, or emotional drinking buddies.You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to be willing to grow. Sobriety doesn't just change your habits — it changes who you are at the core. And when that happens, your entire relationship landscape shifts with you.Let's talk about it.Start your journey with our FREE course: The Sober Girl BlueprintWant community?

Approaches to Supporting New StudentsAllowing space and time (a month or more) for new arrivals to settle before deep check-ins.4. Community Building Beyond the ClassroomRoles of parents, teachers, and staff in fostering a sense of belonging for the whole family.School events like welcome barbecues, international days, and cultural festivals as bridges for integration.5. Advice for Parents Navigating TransitionTransition is difficult—normalize sadness, frustration, and “not getting it right” at first.Don't dismiss your child's (or your own) grief; making space for discomfort is important.When challenges persist, reach out and communicate with counselors and trusted staff; don't try to handle it alone.6.

Have you ever had the thought 'I don't deserve good things'? This pervasive belief can be subtle, but it's not harmless. Today we are going to explore what's really going on with this belief.When we peel back the layers, we can see that the belief of "deservingness" is rooted in conditional worth messaging, internalized shame, and fear- which can all impact our food choices and self-care. It's time to challenge these beliefs and embrace the idea that you are inherently worthy of good things, without needing to earn them. You will learn more about how these patterns manifest in everyday life and receive guidance on transforming these thoughts to promote healing and self-compassion. We can't wait for you to listen!Episode Timeline:00:51 The Concept of Deserving02:11 Origins of the Belief02:38 Internalized Shame03:49 Conditional Worth Messaging06:20 Fear of Impermanence07:24 Negative Core Beliefs09:19 Deservingness and Food11:07 Challenging the Deservingness Belief13:39 Extending Generosity to Yourself15:04 Conclusion and SupportConnect with Georgie and the Confident Eaters Coaches: WebsiteFacebookInstagramHave you ever thought, "I know what to do, I just need to consistently do it"?

Why is it so easy to regain weight after losing it? You follow the plan, you see the scale go down, your clothes fit better, and then somehow the weight comes back. The worst part about weight regain for some people is that it feels like a personal failure. But in today's episode, we are here to tell you the truth: weight regain is a biologically and psychologically driven response. Not a sign of a person being weak, lazy, or lacking willpower.Join us as we break down a recent research review published in the Journal Nutrients (see The Interplay Between Psychological and Neurobiological Predictors of Weight Regain: A Narrative Review). You will learn how self-efficacy, emotional regulation, and traits like impulsivity, perfectionism, and dichotomous thinking play significant roles in weight maintenance.
