Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner who needs advice on leading a team in a crisis? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, attorney and law firm owner Tiffany Webber shares the profound personal and professional impact of her law partner's sudden passing. She recounts the immediate aftermath, the challenges of leading her firm through crisis, and the lessons learned about resilience, leadership, and preparation. Tiffany shares her insights on leading a firm amidst losing a loved one. One thing is having the skill to be calm under pressure. You can't control when someone close to you passes, but you can control yourself and your reaction to something. As a lawyer, people come to you with answers, so it is important to know when to remain calm and collected. Another thing to have is a bias for action. Many people will sit back and analyze. They will wait to make a decision when they have received all the answers. But, in this field, you will never always have every piece of information. Sometimes, you need to make decisions in the moment with what you have.Having a good leadership team is crucial, especially when you as the owner have a lot of things on their plate. Other leaders in the firm can not only support you by taking on the additional load, but you can lean on them for support. Also, if you don't know something about a topic, having others as subject matter experts can be such an advantage. This also helps with succession planning, so someone can take over while you focus on other things.Listen in to learn more!2:06 Survival Guide for a Crisis4:12 Bias for Action12:03 Facing Discomfort18:00 Creating a Good Leadership Team20:46 Letting the Right People InConnect with Tiffany:Website Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

Do you leave social gatherings feeling utterly drained, as if you've absorbed everyone else's stress, sadness, or tension? Do you find yourself constantly over-helping or trying to "fix" others, only to end up exhausted? Or do everyday stimuli like bright lights, loud noises, or scratchy fabrics overwhelm you in ways others simply don't understand? If these resonate, you may be navigating life as a highly sensitive person, an empath, or both. In this episode of The Language of Love Conversations, I sit down with Dr. Judith Orloff, a UCLA-trained psychiatrist, empath, and New York Times bestselling author. Known as the "godmother of the empath movement," she beautifully bridges science, intuition, and energy medicine. Her acclaimed books include The Empath's Survival Guide, The Genius of Empathy, Emotional Freedom, and her new children's book, The Highly Sensitive Rabbit. We explore what it truly means to be an empath (and how it differs from being highly sensitive), why empaths are frequently misdiagnosed with sensory processing disorder, and why this growing wave of sensitive souls is precisely what our world needs right now. Dr. Orloff shares her personal journey growing up in a medical family that dismissed her intuitive gifts and how she learned to honor them instead of suppressing them. This empowering conversation covers practical tools to protect your energy, set heart-centered boundaries, and thrive without closing your heart. We discuss raising empathic children in an overwhelming world, the connection between unacknowledged sensitivity and issues like addiction or autoimmune conditions, and simple daily practices like breathwork, earthing, grounding, visualization, and energetic cord-cutting (when you're truly ready). We dive deep into: The true meaning of being an empath vs. a highly sensitive person Different types of empaths and their unique experiences Why empaths are often misdiagnosed (with anxiety, depression, sensory processing issues, or physical illness) The profound gifts of empathy How emotional and physical energies get absorbed and how to release them Essential boundaries, grounding, and shielding techniques The power (and caution) of energetic cord-cutting Why there are more empaths today than ever before, including links to trauma and the rise of "adult-onset" empaths Raising empathic and highly sensitive children and why they need space to thrive How empathic children may soon lead the world Spotting empathic traits in kids (even though all children have some empathy) Coping with overwhelm through addictions vs. healthier self-care paths Empaths in relationships: avoiding love-bombing, narcissists, and learning to voice your needs Five essential daily practices to stay grounded as an empath If you're feeling drawn to Judith's work, explore her classic The Empath's Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People (with its invaluable self-assessment quiz) and her empowering new children's book The Highly Sensitive Rabbit, a tender story to help young sensitive hearts feel seen and strong.

Author Izabella Tabarovsky—a scholar of Soviet antizionism and contemporary antisemitism, writer, journalist, and the author of Be a Refusenik: A Jewish Student's Survival Guide—joins host Steven Shalowitz from her home in Jerusalem to explore the Soviet origins of modern anti-Zionism and why those ideas echo so loudly on campuses today. Born in 1970 and raised in the USSR, Tabarovsky recounts what it meant to live with state-sponsored "anti-Zionism" that functioned as a sophisticated system of discrimination against Jews, from schoolyard humiliation to university and career barriers.

Why This Year's Influenza Outbreak Demands Your Attention Virginia finds itself in the dark red zone on the CDC's influenza activity map, signaling a "very high" level of flu cases sweeping across the Commonwealth. This alarming development prompts Janet Michael, host of The Valley Today, to reach out to Dr. Jeff Feit for an urgent conversation about protecting communities during this particularly aggressive flu season. Dr. Feit, who serves as Valley Health's Chief Population and Community Health Officer and Chief Medical Information Officer, brings a unique perspective to the discussion. As a family physician who spent twelve years practicing in Page County before moving into healthcare leadership, he understands both the clinical realities of influenza and the broader public health implications facing Virginia's communities. An Early and Aggressive Start The numbers tell a concerning story. Currently, Virginia ranks in the second-highest category out of twelve gradients measuring influenza-like illness (ILI). In contrast, this time last year, the state sat three categories lower. Moreover, while last season's flu activity peaked in mid-February, this year's surge arrived much earlier, catching many residents off guard. "We're overshooting," Dr. Feit explains, noting that the CDC tracks ILI rather than confirmed diagnoses because not everyone gets tested. This measurement captures people presenting with observable flu symptoms—body aches, fevers, headaches, nausea, and congestion—providing a more accurate picture of community spread than test results alone. Furthermore, the tracking method resembles the wastewater monitoring used during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead of counting individual cases, health officials measure the percentage of people walking through medical facilities who display flu-like symptoms, offering insight into how prevalent the virus has become in communities across Virginia. Understanding the Viral Landscape Influenza doesn't exist in isolation this winter. Instead, three major respiratory viruses circulate simultaneously: seasonal flu, COVID-19, and RSV (respiratory syncytial virus). While COVID-19 shows less seasonal predictability in its first five years, influenza remains decidedly seasonal, arriving in late fall and lasting through early spring. RSV, once simply categorized as "just another cold" in adults, now receives more attention because healthcare providers can test for it easily. In young children, however, RSV causes serious illness and can lead to scarring that triggers asthma symptoms for years. Consequently, the medical community now tracks RSV alongside flu and COVID as part of the winter respiratory illness trio. Dr. Feit emphasizes the importance of basic prevention strategies that became politicized during the pandemic but remain scientifically sound. "Before COVID, we used to say obvious things like, 'Hey, it's respiratory season. Wash your hands a lot,'" he notes. He recommends being conscious of shared surfaces—particularly those signature pens at pharmacies—and washing hands before touching your face, since that's how respiratory viruses typically enter the body. The Flu Shot: Separating Fact from Fiction Each year, scientists formulate a new trivalent flu vaccine targeting the three strains they predict will dominate six months ahead. Typically, two components target Influenza A (the more severe form) and one targets Influenza B. This year, concerns have emerged about whether the vaccine adequately matches the circulating H3N2 variant, though early studies from other countries suggest typical protection levels remain intact. Nevertheless, Dr. Feit stresses that vaccine effectiveness exists on a spectrum rather than as an all-or-nothing proposition. "Very few things in the world are about all or none," he explains. "We live in a world of probabilities." While the flu shot prevents illness roughly 40-50% of the time, it proves even more effective at preventing hospitalizations and deaths—outcomes that matter most. The CDC recommends flu vaccination for everyone over six months old. Additionally, people over 65 should receive a stronger formulation, though the regular vaccine still provides protection if the enhanced version isn't available. The vaccine remains widely accessible at pharmacies, doctor's offices, urgent care centers, and other convenient locations. Debunking the "Flu Shot Gives You Flu" Myth One persistent misconception continues to discourage vaccination: the belief that flu shots cause influenza. Dr. Feit tackles this myth head-on, explaining that most flu vaccines contain inactivated virus, making it impossible to contract influenza from the injection. Recipients may experience arm pain or occasionally feel unwell due to their immune system's response, but they cannot develop actual flu from the standard shot. However, one exception exists. The nasal spray flu vaccine contains a live attenuated (weakened) virus, which can occasionally cause mild flu symptoms. For this reason, Dr. Feit recommends the injectable vaccine over the nasal spray. Many people who claim they "got the flu from the flu shot" likely experienced one of two scenarios: either mild immune system activation that caused temporary discomfort, or they contracted a different respiratory virus around the same time. True influenza, Dr. Feit emphasizes, rarely gets confused with other illnesses once you've experienced it. Recognizing Real Influenza "The way you know somebody has the flu as a doctor is they walk in and they say, 'I feel like I got hit by a truck,'" Dr. Feit shares. This vivid description captures the severity that distinguishes influenza from common colds. Classic influenza symptoms include severe body aches, high fever, chills, and intense headaches. Patients often report that even their hair hurts due to scalp sensitivity. Unlike a cold, which typically causes congestion and mild discomfort, influenza renders people truly miserable for about a week. Importantly, influenza poses serious risks beyond discomfort. The 1918 Spanish flu pandemic, which killed millions, notably affected many young, healthy people. Scientists theorize this occurred either because strong immune responses proved deadly or because older individuals possessed partial immunity from a previous flu strain decades earlier. Regardless of the mechanism, the historical lesson remains clear: influenza can kill, and it doesn't discriminate by age. The Critical 48-Hour Window When flu symptoms strike, timing becomes crucial. Antiviral medications prove highly effective against influenza, but only if taken within the first 48 hours of symptom onset. Therefore, anyone who spikes a fever and experiences severe body aches should seek medical attention within 24 hours to receive these medications and recover faster. Without antiviral treatment, patients typically suffer through a miserable week before gradually improving. However, approximately 5% of flu patients develop a dangerous complication: bacterial pneumonia. Dr. Feit describes this as a "double hump illness"—patients get sick, start recovering, feel better for a while, then suddenly spike another fever and develop a cough. This pattern signals bacterial pneumonia requiring different treatment. Virtual Care and Modern Solutions Valley Health continues developing virtual care options that balance convenience with diagnostic accuracy. Dr. Feit acknowledges the challenge: clinically distinguishing flu from COVID, RSV, or bacterial sinus infections without point-of-care testing proves difficult. The organization works toward a hybrid model where virtual consultations can direct patients to drop-in testing locations. "The doctor on your phone might say, 'Hey, I think this is probably COVID. Why don't you stop in our clinic and get tested and then we can treat you,'" Dr. Feit explains. During peak flu season, however, virtual diagnosis becomes more reliable. When influenza saturates the community and a patient presents with classic symptoms—102-degree fever, headache, severe body aches—the probability of influenza reaches approximately 95%, making treatment without testing more reasonable. Beyond Conventional Medicine While discussing prevention, Dr. Feit offers a measured endorsement of one herbal remedy: elderberry extract. Unlike vitamin C megadosing, which lacks solid evidence despite historical claims, elderberry extract has demonstrated effectiveness against influenza virus in test-tube studies conducted in Israel. The preparation, sold as Sambucol in the United States, represents the one herbal supplement Dr. Feit feels comfortable recommending for flu prevention, though he notes the evidence base remains limited. Looking Ahead: Rural Health Transformation Beyond immediate flu concerns, Dr. Feit shares exciting news about long-term community health improvements. Virginia recently received the first installment of a five-year Rural Health Transformation Grant, part of a $50 billion federal fund. The Commonwealth expects to receive nearly $1 billion over five years, money that will support rural healthcare infrastructure, provider training, and innovative technology solutions for transportation-challenged populations. This funding represents a silver lining in challenging times, offering resources to address food insecurity, housing instability, and healthcare access in Virginia's most vulnerable communities. Taking Action Now As flu season intensifies across Virginia, Dr. Feit's message remains clear: get vaccinated if you haven't already, practice basic hygiene, and seek prompt medical attention if symptoms develop. The vaccine won't change to match any viral evolution this season, so waiting no longer makes sense. For those around pregnant women, vaccination becomes even more critical, as pregnancy significantly increases flu severity. Similarly, families should consider that vaccination reduces household transmission—meaning perhaps only one or two family members get sick instead of everyone, allowing healthy members to care for ill ones. Ultimately, this flu season serves as a reminder that respiratory viruses remain serious public health threats requiring both individual action and community-wide prevention efforts. By understanding the science, recognizing symptoms early, and accessing treatment promptly, Virginians can navigate this challenging season more safely.

The Windermere Coaching Minute: Win-Win Negotiations for 2026's Shifting MarketEpisode OverviewIn this episode, Michael Fanning tackles the negotiation skills real estate agents need to thrive in 2026's balanced market. Moving away from the speed-focused tactics of hot markets, Michael breaks down why patience, creativity, and problem-solving are becoming your most valuable tools.The 2026 Market RealityHome sales picking up slightly from generational lowsInventory climbing to pre-pandemic levels as early as spring 2026Prices remaining roughly flat with more negotiating power for buyersLonger days on market requiring different skill setsThe Chef AnalogyMichael compares market conditions to cooking styles: hot markets are like running a food truck (speed and efficiency), while balanced markets are like fine dining (patience, precision, and creativity). The best agents master both.Four Principles of Win-Win NegotiationSeparate people from the problem - Be hard on the issue, soft on the peopleFocus on interests, not positions - Dig deeper than what someone says they want to understand why they want itInvent options for mutual gain - Get creative with solutions that satisfy both partiesUse objective criteria - Base decisions on market data and industry standards, not pressureMichael shares a story of bridging a $15,000 gap by uncovering true interests: the seller needed to avoid double mortgage payments, while the buyer had cash and flexibility. The solution? Meeting closer to the seller's price in exchange for a 21-day close - both parties won.Your power comes from having options. Before any negotiation, ask:If this falls apart, what happens next?What's your Plan B?What's their backup plan?Strong backup plans give you confidence to hold firm. Weak backup plans require more flexibility and creative problem-solving.Not listening activelyMaking it personalFocusing only on positions, not interestsAssuming instead of askingNegotiating while emotional"What's most important to you?""Help me understand...""Are you open to a suggestion?"These phrases show curiosity and respect while keeping relationships intact.Pick one principle to apply in your next negotiationPractice one question from the win-win language listStop assuming - gather information about intangibles, not just priceUse AI as a role-play partner to practice scenarios and build confidenceRemember: one transaction equals one commission, but one raving client equals decades of referrals. Clients won't remember if you saved them $3,000 or $5,000 - they'll remember how you made them feel throughout the process.Host: Michael Fanning, Senior Vice President and Co-Owner of Windermere CoachingKey Quote: "Your true value as an agent shows up in difficulty. Your skill, your knowledge, your problem solving ability - these are what separate you from average agents."Resources Mentioned:Getting to Yes by Fisher and UryJeff Tucker's 2026 Market ForecastBe awesome and help somebody.

Before kids, travel was a vibe. After kids? It's CrossFit, hostage negotiation, and a team sport you didn't train for. If you're traveling with kids this holiday season — flying, driving, or doing both — this episode is your survival guide. We're talking about why travel melts kids down hard, what's actually happening in their brains at 29,000 feet, and the simple shifts that make the entire day go better (without needing a color-coded itinerary or superhuman patience).You'll walk away with: • Why meltdowns hit harder when routines disappear • How to prep kids so they're more regulated before the chaos even starts • What to do in the moment when everything goes sideways • How to reset your expectations so the day feels like a win — not a failure • And the permission to use screens, snacks, and survival tools without guiltThis episode isn't about making travel smooth. It's about getting there with your relationship intact. If you've ever whispered “never again” in an airport bathroom…If you've spent $52 on a stuffed animal you didn't plan to buy…If you've boarded a plane already exhausted…You are not alone. And you are doing an incredible job. Pop this on before you leave for the airport — or while you're hiding in the bathroom pretending to pee.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In Episode 354, the guys talk directly to the reality most creatives avoid: slow season fear, debt, no savings, and the pressure to spend during the holidays. The big mindset shift is simple: you are not a consumer, you are a producer, so make something instead of buying something. They share ideas for meaningful gifts that cost little to nothing, ways to pick up skills that help your career (content creation, editing, learning tools), and even how acts of service can pull you out of isolation when work is slow.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!⁠SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE⁠Join the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LU⁠HIRE JAMES⁠Find Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLu @JamesParrishMixesTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by ⁠Izotope⁠, ⁠Antares (Auto Tune)⁠, Sweetwater, ⁠Plugin Boutique⁠, ⁠Lauten Audio⁠, ⁠Filepass⁠, & ⁠Canva⁠The Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.

It's a nostalgic, funny, and heartfelt look at the holiday struggles that somehow made Christmas magical anyway.

Sometimes holiday gatherings can be difficult. In this episode we give tips for navigating those gatherings and maintaining your sanity.

In this week's Grow Guides we're getting seasonal and practical, focusing on the challenges that come with growing through the colder months. We kick things off with a winter and Christmas survival guide, covering how low temperatures, dry air, and slower plant metabolism can quietly cause problems if you don't adapt your setup. We also talk about grower stocking fillers and Christmas gifts that actually get used, no gimmicks, no shelf-fillers, just genuinely useful bits of kit and tools that make life easier in the grow room. From there we tackle the early harvest temptation. Chopping before Christmas might sound appealing, but rushing a plant nearly always backfires. We explain why patience pays off and what really happens when you pull a plant too early. To wrap up, we run through the most common winter grow mistakes that ruin Christmas harvests, from overwatering cold roots to ignoring humidity swings, and how to avoid turning a festive grow into a disappointing one. A timely episode packed with real-world advice to keep your winter grows healthy, stress-free, and worth the wait. As always, join us on Percy's Grow Room if you want to learn more, get help with your grow, or hang out with thousands of growers just like you. Join our community here:

Highly sensitive persons—adults and children alike—care deeply about people, about nature, about the world. Host Elizabeth Cush and Judith Orloff, MD, talk about the extraordinary gift of empathy in this episode of the Awaken Your Wise Woman podcast.“So many of us were shamed for being who we were and being highly sensitive or empathic and not given education about it.”  — Judith Orloff, M.D.What can a bunny teach us about empathy? A lot, it turns out, when the highly sensitive rabbit is modeled after a highly sensitive person who was called a crybaby, left alone by her brothers and sisters, and felt like she didn't belong in the world. That is, until she begins to make like-minded friends who taught her how to embrace her sensitivity and care deeply for others without being swallowed up by her caring. In this episode of Awaken Your Wise Woman, host Elizabeth “Biz” Cush, LCPC, a licensed professional therapist, founder of Progression Counseling in Maryland and Delaware, and soul support for highly sensitive women, welcomes Judith Orloff, MD, a psychiatrist, an empath, and author of the children's book The Highly Sensitive Rabbit as well as The Genius of Empathy, The Empath's Survival Guide and other titles. They talk about finding your place and your people, achieving balance, celebrating the gifts of sensitivity, end encouraging empathy in the next generation.You can find the full show notes and resources for all the episodes here.Support the showI hope you enjoyed the show!

I am my niece and nephew's favorite uncle—mostly because I'm their only uncle, but a win is a win. Election years turn every family gathering into "squirrely uncle season," and Thanksgiving is ground zero. You've got relatives who think differently, believe differently, and this year, vote differently. Before you get into a political argument that could cost you a decades-long relationship, here's one soundtrack to remember: "Politicians are temporary, family is forever." In this episode, I'm breaking down why you shouldn't do long-term damage over short-term politicians, how to set boundaries with difficult relatives, and what Andy Stanley said about winning arguments but losing relationships. This will be the 8th or 9th president of my lifetime—I've only had one dad and one mom. Do the math before you flip the table. And whatever you do, don't grab the pecan pie on your way out.
