This award was given to her for technical competence, personal Integrity, and the ability to function well as part of a care team. This clinic was started just a few years ago, and will be making a positive impact for these children and families for many years to come. 

Welcome to our segment to expand on the quotes featured in The Black Foster Youth Handbook: 50+ Lessons I learned to successfully age-out of foster care and holistically heal I am your host, Ángela Quijada-Banks & so excited you've decided to join the journey toward Soulful Liberation! Today's Quote: “Do not follow where a path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail” -Ralph Emerson Foster Care is a whole other world that most of the world's population knows little to nothing about. Many people do not know the very low statistics young people endure in order to successfully age-out of foster care. Less than 5% of young people with the experience of foster care graduate post-secondary education. There are many youth who become prey to sex-trafficking or susceptible to suicide due to homelessness, mental health challenges and no support system. Now, couple the child welfare system with the element of racial injustices and the history of white supremacy and the topic may even become taboo. Ángela Quijada-Banks, a woman of African and Indigenous descent has taken the liberty of giving back to these communities for a half a decade through advocacy, advisory and organizational training. Through her travels across the nation, speaking to congressional members, federal stakeholders and constituents of the foster care system she decided some sort of manual was needed to combat the shocking low success rates of young people with the background of foster care. This handbook is written to be supplemental to young people in foster care's navigation through foster care and healing beyond it. Supportive adults such as foster/resource parents, case managers, GALs, therapists and social workers will also find this to be helpful in their roles in young people's lives. Success is possible regardless of where you come from, you just have to know where to look, who to trust and believe in the one person that can get you to the other side of pain and trauma, you.

Today's Quote: “What does it mean to succeed? Is it easily labeled by the cliché of going to college followed by an excursion of unlimited educational milestones to a doctoral degree? Is it the white picket fence, lavish outings, and marriage with 2.5 children? Is that truly the goal? Well, for some, but for me, it's not exactly in that order. My life has been a sum of one of a lifetime experiences, travel, trauma, healing, intense love, and many many lessons. Some say I have reached success already, but for me there is always another rock to discover, another idea to be birthed, another feeling to be understood and another breath to be meditated upon. Life is a journey, not a destination, and there is never a true end with success, if you set your mind on it.” - Ángela Quijada-Banks Foster Care is a whole other world that most of the world's population knows little to nothing about.

Guests on this podcast express their own opinions, experience, and conclusions. The mention of any product, service, organization, activity, or therapy should not be construed as an ASCO endorsement. BRITTANY HARVEY: Hello, and welcome to the ASCO Guidelines podcast series brought to you by the ASCO Podcast Network, a collection of nine programs covering a range of educational and scientific content, and offering enriching insight into the world of cancer care. You can find all the shows, including this one, at podcast.asco.org. My name is Brittany Harvey, and today, I'm interviewing Dr. Zeba Aziz from Hameed Latif Hospital in Lahore, Pakistan, Dr. William Burke from Stony Brook University Hospital in Stony Brook, New York, and Dr. Keiichi Fujiwara from Saitama Medical University International Medical Center in Saitama, Japan, authors on Assessment of Adult Women with Ovarian Masses in Treatment of Epithelial Ovarian Cancer: ASCO Resource Stratified Guideline. Thank you for being here, Doctors Aziz, Burke, and Fujiwara. First, I'd like to note that ASCO takes great care in the development of its guidelines and ensuring that the ASCO conflict of interest policy is followed for each guideline. The full conflict of interest information for this guideline panel is available online with the publication of the guideline and the Journal of Clinical Oncology, Global Oncology. Dr. Burke, do you have any relevant disclosures that are directly related to this guideline topic? DR. WILLIAM BURKE: I do not. BRITTANY HARVEY: And Dr. Fujiwara, do you have any relevant disclosures that are related to this guideline topic? DR. KEIICHI FUJIWARA: Yes. I have the consultancy for the PARP inhibitors development. BRITTANY HARVEY: Thank you. And then Dr. Aziz, do you have any relevant disclosures that are related to this guideline? DR. ZEBA AZIZ: No, I don't. BRITTANY HARVEY: Thank you. OK, so first, Dr. Burke, can you give us a general overview of what this guideline covers? DR. WILLIAM BURKE: Sure, Brittany. The purpose of this guideline is to provide expert guidance in treatment of adult women 18 years and older with epithelial ovarian cancer, including fallopian tube and primary peritoneal cancer, to clinicians, public health leaders, patients, and policymakers in a resource-constrained setting. To do this, ASCO has established a process for development of resource stratified guidelines, which includes a mixed methods of evidence-based guideline development, adaptation of the clinical practice guidelines to other organizations, and formal expert consensus. This guideline summarizes the results of this process and presents resource-stratified recommendations. The recommendation of this guideline centers around the four key clinical questions pertaining to the care of women with ovarian cancer. BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. And then, as you just mentioned, this is a resource-stratified guideline. So Dr. Fujiwara, can you tell our listeners about the four-tier resource stratification used for the development of this guideline? DR. KEIICHI FUJIWARA: Oh, yes. So we have the four tiers resource stratification, which were basic, limited, enhanced, and maximum. So for the basic, it's the core resources or fundamental services that are absolutely necessary for any public health or primary health care systems to function. So the basic levels of this typically are applied in our single clinical interactions. For the limited, so this is the second tier resources or services that are intended to produce major improvements in outcomes such as, for instance, cost-effectiveness, and are attainable with a limited financial means and modest infrastructures. So the limited level of service may involve single or multiple interactions. And the third  tier is enhanced. The third tier resources or services that are optional, that are important, enhance the level of resources should produce further improvements in the outcome and to increase the number of the quality of options in the individual choices. Lastly, the fourth tier is a maximal, so high-level or state of the art resources, or services that may be used or are available in some high-resource countries, and/or may be recommended for the high resource setting guidelines that do not adapt to resource constraints, but that nonetheless should be considered for a lower priority than those resources or services listed in the other categories on the basis of extreme cost and/or impracticality for the broad use of the resource-limited environment. BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. Thank you for going over those. So next, I'd like to review the key recommendations of this guideline. This guideline addresses four overarching clinical questions. So first, Dr. Aziz, what are the key diagnostic and staging recommendations for patients with symptoms of epithelial ovarian cancer? DR. ZEBA AZIZ: Thanks, Brittany. Basically, as pointed out, we have three levels. The basic level usually involves one or two encounters, and at the basic level, the doctor makes a clinical assessment of a suspected ovarian mass, takes a good history and physical, and the family history is also important at the same time. At the basic level, one can do a chest X-ray and an ultrasound to confirm the suspicion, and then the doctor should ideally send the patient to a limited or an enhanced level-- wherever the patient can go. At the limited and enhanced level, again, you have to do diagnostics, which include a CT scan and an MRI if it's available and feasible. You can do the biomarker studies for CA125 and CEA level, and to make a diagnosis, you can do a CT-guided biopsy. You can also do a cell cytology and if a cell block preparation can be made through cell block. Very rarely, if need be, and if you think that you need to make a diagnosis and you can't do anything else, laparoscopy can be done. Once the diagnosis is made, you then go for staging. And the staging is usually done when you're doing a CT scan and you do an abdominal and pelvic CT scan. You do a CT scan of the chest if you think it's needed. Otherwise, a chest ray will suffice. And then you go forward and get a diagnostic workup done and send it to the surgeon for either and decide on a multidisciplinary with a neoadjuvant or surgical assessment testing. BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. Then so next, Dr. Fujiwara, what are the overarching recommendations for surgery with women with stage one to four epithelial ovarian cancer? DR. KEIICHI FUJIWARA: Yes. So the purpose of the surgery is to diagnose, stage, and/or for treatment. So we strongly recommended the ovarian cancer surgery should be performed by trained gynecological oncologists or surgeons with oncologists' surgical expertise. If it is not suitable, we strongly recommend to refer those patients to the highest-resourced level center with an oncology surgical care capacity. For the staging purpose, where the feasible patients with a presumed early stage ovarian cancer should undergo surgical staging by train surgeons. In basic setting, surgical staging is not feasible. Thus, it is not recommended. For the treatment purpose of the women with advanced ovarian cancer, which is a stage three or four, should receive optimal surgical debulking to remove all visible disease to improve overall survival by trained surgeons. BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. And then Dr. Burke, what are the key recommendations for optimal adjuvant and systemic therapy for patients with stage one to four epithelial ovarian cancer? DR. WILLIAM BURKE: Sure. Well, one of the most important things is that access to appropriate evidence-based chemotherapy agents, contraindications to chemotherapy, and potential side effects of chemotherapy should be evaluated and managed in every patient. Basic resource settings that most likely lack the capacity to provide safe administration of chemotherapy should refer patients to a higher level center for evaluation. Limited settings without skilled capacity should refer patients to settings with access to specialized care. Some other notes include that clinicians should be able to document pathology and stage to determine eligibility for adjuvant chemotherapy. If pathology confirmation is not possible due to patient or resource limitation, alternatives can be discussed. Clinicians should not administer systemic treatment, adjuvant chemotherapy, to patients with ovarian low malignant potential tumors or early stage, microinvasive borderline tumors, independent of stage. Combination chemotherapy with paclitaxel and carboplatin is the standard of care for adjuvant therapy in ovarian cancer. However, single agent carboplatin may be utilized due to resource limitation or patient characteristics. Only in enhanced settings, highly selected cases can be assessed for appropriate evidence based intraperitoneal chemotherapy following optimal debulking, where there are resources and expertise to manage the toxicities. BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. And then the last overarching clinical question-- Dr. Aziz, what is recommended for patients with recurrent epithelial ovarian cancer? DR. ZEBA AZIZ: You know, with recurrent ovarian epithelial cancer is a tough option, especially in patients residing in the low-middle income countries. Supportive care treatment should be started together with whatever we have to do. So there are three options. There's one patient who presents with a rising CA125 with no evidence of disease and asymptomatic. We can elect to follow these patients, and it's easier to follow them until they become symptomatic or they have evidence of disease. If you have small volume disease which is resectable, you send them to an enhanced level setting, ideally where surgery can be done. Then you also look at patients and divide them into platinum resistant or platinum sensitive. If they're platinum sensitive, you can give a platinum-containing regimen, but if they're platinum resistant, you can put them on a non-platinum chemotherapy-- a single agent or whatever-- but these patients are tough to manage in that part of the world. BRITTANY HARVEY: Definitely. Well, thank you all for reviewing each of those key recommendations. The full recommendations are available in the guideline, but those are some important highlights. Thank you very much. So Dr. Burke, in your view, what is the importance of this guideline, and how will it change practice? DR. WILLIAM BURKE: Sure. Well, I think the importance of this guideline is that it globally targets health care providers, including gynecologic oncologists, surgeons, nurses, and palliative care clinicians, as well as non-medical community members, including patients, caregivers, and members of advocacy groups, providing them with resource-stratified clinical guidelines, recommendations that can be implemented across many health settings. The guideline will hopefully raise awareness among frontline practitioners, and provide guidance to provide adequate services in the face of varied and sometimes limited resources we see throughout the world. BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. And Dr. Aziz, how do you envision that these guidelines can be applied in low and middle income regions? DR. ZEBA AZIZ: These are extremely important guidelines for our part of the world. Remember that there are about 70 low-middle income countries, and all these countries-- and within each country-- there's marked variability in training of physicians who encounter cancer patients. There's also difficulty by the patients in accessing a few tertiary care centers, cancer care centers which are present, and most of all, financial implications, because you have to go there, you have to stay there, you have to get your chemotherapy, and this is true for the marginalized population. You also have to remember that more than 50% of our patients are treated in a limited resource setting, and the availability of enhanced resources are very difficult for them. And these limited settings are in public sector hospitals, where the doctors-- some of the doctors are very good, but the physicians or surgeons are overworked. They have resources ranging from minimal to moderate, depending on the funds available. And because they're overworked and there are few working hours, detailed counseling of the patient is infrequent because there are a large number of patients there. And the majority of surgeries, which is the cornerstone of ovarian cancer, is done by the postgraduate fellows who are there. Sometimes the senior consultants do surgeries, but most of the time, it is done by them. First time chemotherapy is easier to deliver because it does not have any expensive medicines. There are a lot of generics for carboplatin and taxanes regimen available, so it's not a major problem. But treating the side effects, again, becomes very expensive, and the patients have to come back and forth. The relapsed disease is very difficult to treat because we don't have too many options there and it is expensive. We've also seen that patients who are treated at an enhanced level do much better. Their survival outcomes are better, the supportive care treatment is better, and the progression-free survival is also better. BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. Thank you for reviewing that information. And then finally, Dr. Fujiwara, Dr. Aziz touched on this a bit on how it impacts patients, but how else do you view that these guideline recommendations will affect patients? DR. KEIICHI FUJIWARA: Yes. As Dr. Aziz said and Dr. Burke said, this guideline is written for the patients around the world in a different medical environment. So I think that it is very useful resource of information for patients to receive the best ovarian cancer treatment that suits the actual situation of each country or regions. BRITTANY HARVEY: Great. Well, thank you all for your work on these important guidelines. It sounds like they're going to have a real impact globally, and so I really appreciate both all of your work on these guidelines, and also for taking the time to speak with me today, Dr. Aziz, Dr. Burke, and Dr. Fujiwara. DR. ZEBA AZIZ: Thank you, Brittany. BRITTANY HARVEY: And thank you to all of our listeners for tuning in to the ASCO Guidelines Podcast Series.

On today's show, we interview rookie managers, Cohan Robinson and Elijah LeMar who share with us the transformational impact that the YEAA internship has had on their lives.  Currently three months into their internship, both Cohan and Elijah are on track to run large and extremely profitable painting businesses. After signing up with YEAA, life has taken a 360-degree turn for both Cohan and Elijah.  While Cohan had worked as a painter prior to his internship, Elijah, a UMass student came on board with zero work experience. So, understandably, both Cohan and Elijah were extremely nervous when they first started off.  Once they kickstarted their internship with the training, Cohan and Elijah got an opportunity to interact with the entire YEAA team. The dynamic culture instantly rubbed off on them, and their nerves were soon replaced with excitement and anticipation. On today's show, you will learn how we, at YEAA, prepare eighteen- and nineteen-year-olds to run large painting businesses.  Supportive mentors and proven systems and processes are the exact things needed to create a transformational impact on our interns. Tune in for some great insights! What You Will Learn In This Show How the YEAA internship can massively accelerate your learning Why you cannot get to a yes without going through many no's Why a structured and supportive environment is the key to success How can eighteen-year-olds with no previous experience manage to run a large painting business And so much more… Resources Young Entrepreneurs Across America

Welcome to our segment to expand on the quotes featured in The Black Foster Youth Handbook: 50+ Lessons I learned to successfully age-out of foster care and holistically heal Today's Quote: “Be good to people for no reason. Not because they speak English well. Not because they look well put together. Not because they have a vast vocabulary. Not because you like the way they did their hair. Not because they have expensive shoes on. Not because they look like they have money. Not because they have something to offer you. Not because you may feel sorry for them... Not because you think you'll be blessed later. Just be a decent human being to others. Does that seem too hard?” -Ángela Quijada-Banks Foster Care is a whole other world that most of the world's population knows little to nothing about. Many people do not know the very low statistics young people endure in order to successfully age-out of foster care. Less than 5% of young people with the experience of foster care graduate post-secondary education.

She is now a researcher at the London School of Economics specialising in animal sentience, welfare, & ethics. In Sentientist Conversations we talk about the two most important questions: “what’s real?” & “what matters?” Sentientism is "evidence, reason & compassion for all sentient beings." The video of our conversation is here on the Sentientism YouTube. We discuss: 1:33 Heather Intro - biology to zookeeping to philosophy - Volunteering, later working at zoos. Getting to know animals - Studying zoology/biology - Studying philosophy, shifting to PhD focus on measuring animal welfare - "Cheetahs don't really like to run" - How do "natural behaviours" relate to animal welfare - Trying to take the animal's point of view - The Foundations of Animal Sentience programme at LSE - The power of interdisciplinary work 10:55 What's real? - Growing up in a fairly naturalistic household. Occasional church visits - Being encouraged to question & explore - Joining a church group for the community - Balking at religious rules/restrictions - Asking questions & not getting answers - "Science just seemed like the best way of investigating the world" - Scientists are flawed humans too - There are many things we don't know & some we may never understand - We're evolved creatures that have developed heuristics that have been useful to us for survival/procreation - The dangers of a need for/expectation of perfection - Dangers of over-confidence/dogma/motivated reasoning in science 21:54 What matters morally? - Naturalism does involve giving up meaning, but we can create our own meaning - Hedonist nihilism. What matters to me? - Sitting between naturalising or eliminating morality, vs. moral realism - Evolutionary basis of human consciousness, including empathy, fairness, co-operation (and not just in humans) - "What matters is the subjective pleasure and pains we have in our lives" - "Our wellbeing is an objective fact about the world" - Empathy is caring about the wellbeing of others 31:42 Which entities matter? Moral scope - "I've always loved animals" - At 5 yrs "When I grow up I want to be a zookeeper" - Finding it difficult to eat meat. Feeling disgust - Saying "I'm vegetarian" to get out of cooking meat in a class, then realising "I could just do that" and going vegetarian at 12 yrs - Supportive parents: "Now you need to learn to cook!" & being joined by a sister - A friend was told "You can't go vegetarian" - And much more...

On this week's episode of The Lighthouse Podcast, Chris and Christy have an informative discussion with Dr. Brock, Director of Supportive Care at a local children's hospital in Atlanta. Dr. Brock explains what supportive care is and how the main mission of supportive, or palliative, care is to help kids who have a serious illness like cancer—and their families—live as well as possible. Supportive care is a relatively new field that does not replace your child's oncology team, but rather supports it, building a bigger village for your child's cancer journey. Dr. Brock dispels some of the misconceptions of palliative care and explains how the process works for children and families. She shares the best time to introduce this type of care, the qualifications for receiving supportive care, and how parents can request it if a consult has not been requested by the cancer team. She explains how the support extends to the family and includes interesting examples of palliative care. They conclude the discussion by talking about the challenges of the job, but the beauty that comes from knowing you've been able to help relieve the suffering of children and families—and even make their days better—during their cancer journey.

Shamis Story in her own words:Shamis' StoryI launched Pitts Leadership in March 2019 after completing a “year on” of soul searching. For years, I struggled to connect with my purpose and made the decision to step back from the world of work until I could answer the questions - “Why am I here? What do I want to contribute to the world?”I have always enjoyed serving and supporting others; however, doing so often left me feeling depleted. I always had access to interesting job opportunities, and I would happily accept the challenges presented to me because I loved leveraging what I knew while learning something new. But something was missing. I realized that the “something” was me!  I was often supporting someone else’s vision for the future without having a commitment to my own. I had been working 70-100 hour weeks, prioritizing work over wellbeing, telling myself that I was doing so in order to support the organizations I was leading and the employees within them.After taking a step back, I realized - I believe in leading by example. How can I support the wellbeing of others if I am not operating from wellbeing? I then committed to a life of wellbeing - physically, emotionally, socially - and established the support system I needed to be in integrity with that choice.With Pitts Leadership, I, along with my team and my partners, seek to support individuals and organizations on that journey by providing leadership coaching, training and development, keynote speaking and human capital consulting services.Pitts Leadership leverages my 20 years of experience in strategy, people leadership and business process within human resources management consulting, financial services, education and start-up technology.I have served as the official mediator and the unofficial heart and soul for many companies. I endeavor to support individuals, teams and organizations to create similar powerful, purposeful experiences.Shamis serves in the President's Council of The Acceleration Project a female-founded, female-led business advisory firm dedicated to keeping local economies vital and channeling talent into the economy. Learn More about Shamis at:About – Pitts Leadership Consulting LLCLearn more about TAP at:https://www.theaccelerationproject.org/

Do you fall into the Dominant, Inspiring, Supportive or Cautious category per the DISC personality assessment? Do you know if you're an ISTJ or an INFJ in the Myers-Briggs assessment? Or are you considered a Blue in the Color Personality Test? When it comes to personality assessments, a lot of people seem to look for ways to understand themselves and others better, by taking a personality or strengths finder-type test, hoping to understand the motivations, thoughts, feelings and actions that lead us to do what we do. It can be comforting to come across a grid or diagram that promises to explain where you fall in the scheme of things compared to other humans, and how to best utilize your innate gifts and talents. While tests like DISC and Myers-Briggs are interesting in order to see what you tend to do or what you're strong in, they're also just a snapshot in time, not an identity. Unfortunately, while they are intended to give you information, they can also keep you stuck, believing that you are what the test or assessment says you are and there's not much you can do about it. This week on The CPA MOMS Podcast I explain how your personality is shaped and how you can choose to be the architect of it.

Hey Fried Fans,   This week’s episode has been a long time coming and something that I’ve thought a lot about over the years. It’s about privilege and the good and bad of how it’s interwoven with burnout. It is extremely difficult for people that I grew up with to accept that they are the recipients of any sort of privilege and I understand why. Fall River, Massachusetts isn’t a city that dreams are made of. Our police motto is “We’ll Try” and we’ve been high on the list of most heroin per capita since long before the opioid epidemic. It is a downtrodden place that comes with an extreme sense of pride - that pride sometimes feels like the only thing that keeps the city going. Most families I knew growing up, including my own, struggled to make ends meet, often working multiple jobs to keep the lights on and food in the fridge. Having this as your lifestyle and acknowledging your privilege is a big ask. There is no room for feeling privileged or worrying about how others are disadvantaged when you’re simply trying to survive yourself. Maslow’s hierarchy of needs tells us that unless basic needs are met (basic being defined as: food, shelter, drink, clothing, warmth, and some level of stability) it is nearly impossible to expect anyone to be reaching toward ‘higher’ ideals such as self-actualization and personal growth. I believe that it is in this area of personal growth that one can begin to identify one’s privilege. At least, that’s how it worked for me. It wasn’t until I was highly successful that I was able to turn around and realize that my life was easier because of the following factors: White Skin A 2 parent home Supportive, involved parents that encouraged reading and education  A large, well connected extended family A close circle of friends around my parents Always having enough food, a place to live, clean clothes, and heat in the winter Cis gendered In a hetero relationship Able-bodied Sporty physique   None of those things prevented me from burning out. They did make it easier for me to find help when I was burnt out AND they kept me on a burnout cycle because I was comparing my life situation to lives around me and taking note of my luck and my privilege.  It lead to increased feelings of guilt and shame (which burnout has enough of in and of itself) and a lot of beating myself up for not appreciating what I had more, for not being grateful enough, for not using everything I was gifted with to create a life that was fulfilling to me and useful to others. I believe strongly in recognizing my privilege. I think it’s important because it helps to remind me to leave a piece of my ego at the door. No matter what I’ve accomplished, there have always been things that gave me an edge. It helps me to both take credit for my work AND rest on the fact that it wasn’t ‘all me’. Back to burnout. When you read the research on burnout, it’s mostly been studied in corporate and hospital settings (read: settings that prefer white skin) and the result of said studies is that the environment, the company, the hospital - is at 80% fault for causing burnout.When I did my own research, at the bottom, in the depths of what I truly believe sits behind burnout is trauma. Trauma that causes nervous systems to be on high alert which leads to behaviors that burn us out. It doesn’t have to be one singular traumatic event that an after school special would be made about - it can be an adult with unstable and inconsistent emotional states, it can be a constant cutting down of your self worth through comments about your clothes, style, way of being, body, it can be emotional disconnection and abandonment - even from parents that were physically there. It can be a society that thinks of you as less than. It can be living in skin that makes you more likely to be not believed by medical professionals and more likely to be violently attacked/killed by the people whose job it is to protect you. It can be a sexual orientation or a gender that leaves you at risk for familial/societal/religious rejection.    Every single aspect of your life that makes you unsafe: Mentally, physically, and emotionally - can lead to burnout.   So yes, recognize your privilege and also pay attention to what created a lack of safety in your life, at any stage. Recognize your privilege and also give yourself the space for grace and the right to heal. Recognize your privilege and acknowledge your burnout - because you healing your nervous system will affect everyone you come into contact with. Adding more regulated nervous systems to the world raises us all up - the more regulated we are, the less likely we are to create more trauma for others - the more likely we are to recognize another’s pain and take action toward solving it. If you’re privileged and burnt out - Please know this: Recognizing and healing your burnout helps you AND all of us. You deserve to heal no matter how ‘good’ you’ve got it.If you’re lacking privilege and you’re burnt out - Please know this: you are seen, heard, acknowledged, and loved. Your healing, too, is all of our healing. You deserve to heal, no matter who has told you differently.   If you want to listen to an episode on Burnout and Racism, please go listen to the episode that I recorded with Khadijah Tishan Washington.    We all need to bring our regulated nervous systems to the world so that the world can start to heal.    If you’re burnt out and you’re denying it because you’re privileged: book a call now. Let’s get started healing.If you’re burnt out and you’re underprivileged and coaching is out of your range: book a call now. Let’s get started healing. There is a group called Peer Hopes, you can find them at https://peerhopes.com, that offers low cost 1:1 and group counseling.   You all deserve to heal.

Where did COVID come from? What can you do right now to make sure you can fight the virus, if you are ever infected? Should you get vaccinated?   In this episode of the Align Podcast, Dr. Steven Quay and I discuss how the Coronavirus has been able to develop so quickly in the human body, the mechanisms of it, and how our immune system works to fight it. We talk about how exactly vaccines act to help our body fight viruses and how the antibody-dependent enhancement’s (ADE) unpredictability can affect people of different ages.   Plus, Dr. Quay points out how the posture that we tend to hold during the day causes us to lose lung capacity. With our lungs and intercostal muscles being primordial to effectively fight the hazards of COVID, he suggests a yoga-based practice to help us develop both of these capacities.   Dr. Steven Quay has over 360 published contributions to medicine, placing him in the top 1% of scientists worldwide. He holds 87 US patents and has invented seven FDA-approved pharmaceuticals which have helped over 80 million people. He is the author of the best-selling book on surviving the pandemic, Stay Safe: A Physician's Guide to Survive Coronavirus. What we discuss: 03:58: How can we train our body to help combat COVID and other respiratory diseases?   06:09: Aaron’s symptoms when he was infected with COVID   08:04: What does Dr. Quay recommend you do to fight Covid?   09:20: Supportive breathing practices you can start today   10:27: Where does the virus originate from?   15:19: What kind of repercussions has Dr. Quay faced for his scientific opinions?    17:59: What will the world be like post-vaccination?   19:06: Should young and healthy people take the vaccine?   20:35: The race between covid-2 vs the immune system   21:42: Are masks effective?   27:39: What does the future of the coronavirus look like?   30:41: The antibody-dependent enhancement (ADE)   32:28: What is the virus’ infection mechanism?   34:39: Describing the 3 phases of the virus   36:09: The burden of COVID in our world and political implications   40:56: Physiologic response to the vaccine Vs developed immune response   47:03: Why did Dr. Quay write his book?   48:50: What can we do to protect ourselves if we suspect we were exposed to the virus?   49:55: Why does it turn into pneumonia?   52:31: The issue with western medicine not looking at the importance of nutrition 57:52: How the metro transport system could have been the conduit to spreading COVID in major cities   Learn more about Dr. Steven Quay:   Website: drquay.com  Book: Stay Safe: A Physician's Guide to Survive Coronavirus

There is no doubt that a successful organization runs on inspired and positive people. As a leader, it is your job to make sure your team members are inspired and that you are a positive influence to them.

From time immemorial, women and wise folk have carried the knowledge of how to manage fertility. From menstruation to contraception to birth to miscarriage to abortion, these processes and this knowing has always belonged to the people. Ending pregnancy outside the modern medical paradigm and the cold, impersonal clinic is not only possible, but there are numerous safe and effective options. Let us eliminate the need for back alley abortions, reframe pro-choice as pro-choices, and step back into our power by educating ourselves and one another on what’s possible. IN THE INTERVIEW: Some historical context (women have always ended pregnancies, but laws and attitudes around it have changed) Choosing home care for pregnancy release rather than clinical care Preventing pregnancy with herbs (and the one thing most people do wrong when using Queen Anne’s Lace for contraception) The four ways to release pregnancy at home I see a lot of people championing herbal abortion on social media, but it’s clear that they are not educated about the issues and difficulties with this method (it does not look like your dreamy earth mama one-with-nature self empowerment fantasy) What a beautiful, supported pregnancy release at home can look like Sometimes spirit babies come through to teach us things The four essential herbal actions needed (find this chart at patreon.com/medicinestories) Mifepristone and/or misoprostol (medical abortion) Supportive food and herbs for the process Aftercare: honoring that you are postpartum after releasing a pregnancy and focusing on rebuilding and healing Supporting the liver, nervous system, and immune system A woman going through this is never alone LINKS (if listening on an app that doesn’t support embedded links, find these at https://mythicmedicine.love/podcast): Medicine Stories Patreon bonuses (resources, herbal chart, audio recording of my personal story) My website MythicMedicine.love  Take our fun Which Healing Herb is Your Spirit Medicine?
