Have you ever paused to consider where you truly are in your growth as a coach and what your current stage of development reveals about the way you show up for your clients? In this episode, we walk through the evolving arc of our professional identity and the way our presence deepens as we move from doing coaching to being a coach. It is a journey rich with curiosity, discomfort, insight, and ultimately, transformation. During the conversation, we unpack the three broad stages of coach maturity. We explore the ways we develop from novice coach to intuitive practitioner and eventually to a place where we work with the wider system that sits around each client. As we revisit these stages, we were reminded of the moments in our own journeys when we grappled with self-doubt, longed for structure, and later found liberation in silence, emergence, and reflective practice. We discuss what this pathway can look like in real life. Early on, the focus often sits on learning models like GROW or CLEAR, trying to get coaching "right", and wondering whether you are offering enough value. As maturity builds, the focus shifts toward deep relational awareness. Questions such as how we are being together begin to matter more than the specific tools we use. There is more acknowledgment of intuition, pattern spotting, boundaries, ethics, and the energy in the space between coach and client. As the journey progresses, the coaching relationship becomes a gateway into something broader. We delve into the systemic nature of coaching and what happens when we are able to sit in not knowing without fear. This phase is rich, existential, and deeply grounding. It calls for humility, self-awareness, regulated presence, and the ability to hold space for emergence. We reflect on how this stage can be both liberating and challenging. At times we have found it confronting, and at others we have found it to be the most expansive area of professional growth. Throughout this episode, the recurring theme for me is that coaching maturity is not time served. It is about what we integrate, how we reflect, and the courage we bring to our own development. Every phase offers value. Every phase has its purpose. And every coach will move through the continuum in their own way. Our hope is that this conversation sparks meaningful self-reflection and gives you a clearer sense of where you are today and where your next stretch might be.

Homelessness, as everyone knows, is an extremely complicated emotional issue. Systemic societal barriers along with personal mental health issues can pull or push people into homelessness, and a dearth of affordable housing and needed services can keep them there. The complexity of this issue can be overwhelming and have people, literally walking on by, those struggling. There can exist a feeling that solutions need to come from the government, nonprofits, and our church communities in the form of larger answers. After all, what can one person possibly do to make a difference?Today we are talking with Meghan, a young woman whose life direction took an abrupt and unexpected turn.

Clonal mast cell disease is often missed because symptoms vary from person to person, tryptase levels can be normal, and bone marrow biopsies are hard to get. For some people, unexplained or very severe anaphylaxis may be an early sign of a clonal mast cell disease. In this episode, we review “Prevalence of KIT D816V in anaphylaxis or systemic mast cell activation,” published in October 2025 in the Journal of Allergy and Clinical Immunology. This paper, known as the PROSPECTOR trial, is looking at how often the KIT D816V mutation can be found using a blood test in adults who have had anaphylaxis or systemic mast cell activation symptoms. We break down why KIT D816V matters, how it connects to systemic mastocytosis, why HaT needs to be considered, and how newer blood tests may help doctors catch clonal mast cell disease earlier. What we cover in our episode about KIT D816V and anaphylaxis: Setting the stage: Understanding mast cell activation and anaphylaxis. Why KIT D816V matters: How this mutation fits into clonal mast cell disease, what blood testing can reveal, and when doctors still turn to a bone marrow biopsy. Making sense of tryptase and hereditary alpha-tryptasemia (HaT): Why baseline tryptase, the “20% + 2” rule, and HaT can make screening more complicated than it seems. What the PROSPECTOR trial uncovered: How often KIT D816V appeared in people with anaphylaxis, and other results on tryptase and HaT. How this helps patients: What these findings mean for anyone with unexplained or severe anaphylaxis, and how doctors combine KIT testing, tryptase, HaT, and symptoms to decide on next steps.

https://discord.com/invite/S2xYTefxTY This transcript focuses on the prevalence of media fakery, psychological operations (PSYOPs), and the systemic nature of deception in contemporary events, contrasting this reality with inadequate mystical explanations proposed by alternative media. The speaker notes that movies like Atropia (a 24-7 war simulation town) and Rental Family illustrate the concept of staged events and fabricated relationships used for emotional manipulation, as seen in the supposed assassination of Charlie Kirk, where his family is considered a "rental family" and the event was scripted years in advance. The overarching contention is that news media functions as the "de facto World State Church," creating myths, martyrs, and miracles through the "PSyop Entertainment Complex," and providing a cohesive worldview accepted globally without dispute from other governments. Critically, the sources strongly reject supernatural explanations for predictive programming—such as magic, dark wizards, or morphic resonance—arguing that such mysticism provides "cover" for the human manipulators (directors, actors, writers) who intentionally merge entertainment and propaganda. The recommended method for handling this pervasive deception is adopting a skeptical, Gnostic approach of mental detachment and informed disbelief, leading to peace of mind (ataraxia), rather than succumbing to the "black pill" based on the false belief that fake events are real.Systemic Nature of Fakery: Significant historical events are viewed as theatrical productions or military drills that are "lied into existence" through news media, often involving crisis actors, and sometimes utilizing special effects like squibs.The Media as State Church: The media is described as the de facto World State Church, complete with its own myths, martyrs, and miracles, functioning as a "New Testament" that dictates the present narrative and what is to come.Rejection of Mysticism and Magic: Explanations for predictive programming involving higher powers, simulation theory, or collective thought manifestation (morphic resonance) are dismissed as "misinformation" that obscures the reality of human agents—directors, actors, and writers—involved in psychological operations.Engineered Biographies and Events: Certain events, like the Charlie Kirk assassination narrative, are viewed as having been scripted far back, suggesting that his personal relationships (like his marriage) were not organic, but rather part of a "rental family" used by the script.Detachment and Peace of Mind: The suggested response to systemic fakery is Gnosticism or skepticism, advocating for the suspension of judgment (epiki) and mental detachment from the mind war, which results in "peace of mind" (ataraxia)."A lie is a fictional situation inserted into somebody's timeline by a liar.""I do consider media to be the de facto World State Church, complete with myths, martyrs, and miracles, performed through the Psyop Entertainment Complex.""If you look at every single instance of predictive programming, you'll find directors, actors, writers.""If they can get you to think that you're looking at magic, then you've been mystified.""Going off the grid is mentally detaching."Key PointsQuotes
Show Notes: Disaster as a MirrorEpisode Summary:In this episode of the Emergency Management Network, hosts Todd DeVoe and Dan Scott explore one of the most revealing truths in our field: disasters don't introduce new problems—they expose the ones already there. A hurricane, a wildfire, a blackout, a pandemic: each becomes a mirror reflecting the strengths, weaknesses, inequities, and blind spots embedded in our communities long before impact.Todd and Dan trace this phenomenon through the research of Daniel Aldrich and others, connecting social vulnerability, infrastructure choices, governance failures, and community cohesion to the wildly different outcomes disasters produce. They discuss why disasters disproportionately affect specific populations, how historic policy decisions echo across decades, and what emergency managers must confront when the mirror shows us something we'd rather ignore.The conversation blends field experience, research, and a reflective “Garage Philosopher” edge—challenging listeners to consider what disasters reveal not just about our systems, but about ourselves.Topics Covered:Disasters as amplifiers: Hazards don't treat everyone equally; they magnify pre-existing inequities.Social vulnerability & history: How redlining, disinvestment, and infrastructure neglect play out during crisis.Daniel Aldrich's research: Why social capital predicts survival and recovery better than physical infrastructure alone.Systemic exposure: How disasters spotlight policy failures, brittle systems, and governance gaps we tolerate in “blue-sky” time.Operational implications: EM must acknowledge that preparedness and resilience are shaped by long-term societal conditions, not last-minute planning.Moral visibility: Disasters reveal whose voices get prioritized, whose neighborhoods get rebuilt, and who gets left waiting.Rebuilding with honesty: Using the mirror constructively—community engagement, equity-centered planning, and revisiting assumptions.Quotable Moment:“A disaster doesn't break a community—it shows where the cracks already were.” This is a public episode.

The conversation delves into the complexities of relationship problems faced by couples, emphasizing the common issues stemming from parenting and intimacy. It highlights the tendency of couples to seek external advice rather than resolving conflicts directly, and critiques the reliance on legal solutions for emotional and relational problems, advocating for a more psychological approach.Key TakeawaysCouples often face problems related to parenting or intimacy.Many couples avoid negotiating their issues directly.External influences complicate conflict resolution.Legal solutions are often misapplied to emotional problems.Emotional and relational issues require psychological approaches.Communication is key in resolving marital conflicts.Seeking help from friends or family can lead to confusion.Understanding the root cause of problems is essential.Negotiation skills are crucial for couples.Legal tools do not address emotional needs.Chapter1:20 - Systems theory meets family courts 2:44 - Family patterns and learned levers 4:16 - Attachment shifts during pregnancy 5:23 - Limits to self-reflection and change 6:59 - Expanding system: courts and professionals 7:52 - How politics shape couple conflict 11:04 - GDP, school pressure, and home stress 13:07 - Navigating legal systems in divorce 15:04 - Reciprocity and influence in relationships 17:05 - No legal fix for emotional needs 19:10 - Prevention through systemic therapy 21:07 - Challenging constructs and parenting norms 23:05 - Journal and master's on alienation 25:07 - Closing reflections and resourcesIf you wish to connect with Lawrence Joss or any of the PA-A community members who have appeared as guests on the podcast:Email - familydisappeared@gmail.comLinktree: https://linktr.ee/lawrencejoss(All links mentioned in the podcast are available in Linktree)Connect with Dr Charlie Azzopardi:Website: https://ift-malta.com/Courses (IFT Malta): https://ift-malta.com/courses-2/European Journal of Parental Alienation (EJPAP):https://ift-malta.com/elementor-1206/Please donate to support PAA programs:https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=SDLTX8TBSZNXSsa bottom partThis podcast is made possible by the Family Disappeared Team:Anna Johnson- Editor/Contributor/Activist/Co-hostGlaze Gonzales- Podcast ManagerConnect with Lawrence Joss:Website: https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/Email- familydisappeared@gmail.com
There's a good chance you've seen the headline making its rounds: Ford's CEO is on record claiming they have over 5,000 open mechanic jobs paying $120,000 a year that they just can't fill. When I heard it, I had a reaction because the statement is deeply disconnected from reality. It's a gross oversimplification based on surface-level logic, and frankly, it is completely false. (A few minutes of research will prove that, if you don't believe me.) This week on Future Focused, I'm not just picking apart Ford. I'm using this as a case study for a very dangerous trend: blaming job seekers for problems that originate inside the company. The real danger here is that leaders are confusing the total cost of a role with the actual take-home salary. That one detail lets them pass the buck and avoid facing the actual problems, like: Underinvestment in skill development. Outdated job designs and seeking the mythical "unicorn" candidate. Lack of clear growth pathways for current employees. Systemic issues that stay hidden because no one is asking the hard questions. If you're a leader struggling to hire, you don't have a talent crisis; you have an alignment crisis and a diagnostic crisis. I talk through a case study inside a large organization where I was forced to turn high turnover and high vacancy around by looking in the mirror. I'll walk some key shifts like: Dump the Perfect Candidate Myth right now, because that person doesn't exist and hiring them at the ceiling only creates a flight risk. Hire for Core Capabilities like adaptability, curiosity, and problem-solving, instead of a checklist of specific job titles or projects. Diagnose Without Assigning Blame by having honest conversations with the people actually doing the job to find out the real blockers. By the end, I hope you'll be convinced that change comes from the person looking back at you in the mirror, not the person you're trying to hire. ⸻If this conversation helps you think more clearly about the future we're building, make sure to like, share, and subscribe.

Feeling buried under patriarchy, debt, burnout, or a broken marriage market? We unpack why the brain loves dramatic, unsolvable questions and how a simple shift to better, smaller questions gives you leverage today. Instead of spiraling at the scale of the system, we move to the smallest useful unit of change: one thought, one boundary, one action. Along the way, we challenge the default brain's obsession with efficiency that recycles fear, and we offer a faith-rooted, practical path back to agency.We explore how financial literacy breaks scarcity loops, how small investments and savings strategies reduce emotional dependence on policy or news cycles, and how fear-based money choices keep us stuck. We examine healthcare's treatment-over-prevention bias and outline how regulating your nervous system, protecting sleep, and honoring early body signals quietly undermine a sick-care economy. We reframe racism and sexism by asking questions that preserve dignity and safety...what response aligns with who I want to be, what boundary keeps me safe so your day-to-day experience changes even before the system does.For those navigating marriage fears, we trade generalizations for criteria: clear red flags, green flags, emotional safety markers, and non-negotiables. We connect all of this with a simple engine of change: thoughts shape emotions, emotions drive actions, actions build outcomes. Leaders will recognize the same mechanics at scale: one decision, one team, one metric at a time. The theme stays steady...systems don't shift because we obsess over them; they shift when we stop participating unknowingly and start acting with skill, clarity, and faith.To leave a review on Apple Podcasts, open the app and go to the show's page by searching for it or finding it in your library.

Lawrence Joss explores the deeper systemic roots of parental alienation, revealing how alienation unfolds gradually through subtle family dynamics rather than appearing overnight. He and Dr. Charlie unpack how cultural norms, family structures, and early relational patterns shape the roles parents step into, and how those roles can quietly shift power, boundaries, and attachment inside the family system.Key TakeawaysParental alienation is a gradual process.Negative talk about a parent is common in relationships.Cultural norms influence parenting roles significantly.In some cultures, mothers are primarily caregivers.Fathers often take on structural roles in parenting.Understanding alienation requires a cultural lens.Parental roles can vary widely across different societies.The dynamics of family relationships are complex.Emotional care is often seen as a mother's role.Structural care is typically associated with fathers.Chapters0:00 – Safety, Survival & Early Alienation Patterns 2:05 – What the Systemic Lens Reveals 5:40 – When Problems Become Relational 9:20 – Cultural & Structural Pressures on Families 11:55 – Alienation as a Gradual Process 14:40 – Boundary Breakdowns & Role Confusion 17:55 – Power Shifts: Children Elevated to Partner Role 21:25 – Why Kids Choose the Unpredictable Parent 25:40 – Subtle Behaviors That Shift Family Hierarchy 28:30 – Parentification & Emotional Oversharing 31:55 – Long-Term Effects on Attachment & Identity 35:50 – Attraction Patterns & the Drama TriangleIf you wish to connect with Lawrence Joss or any of the PA-A community members who have appeared as guests on the podcast:Email - familydisappeared@gmail.comLinktree: https://linktr.ee/lawrencejoss(All links mentioned in the podcast are available in Linktree)Connect with Dr Charlie Azzopardi:Website: https://ift-malta.com/Courses (IFT Malta): https://ift-malta.com/courses-2/European Journal of Parental Alienation (EJPAP):https://ift-malta.com/elementor-1206/Please donate to support PAA programs:https://www.paypal.com/donate?hosted_button_id=SDLTX8TBSZNXSsa bottom partThis podcast is made possible by the Family Disappeared Team:Anna Johnson- Editor/Contributor/Activist/Co-hostGlaze Gonzales- Podcast ManagerConnect with Lawrence Joss:Website: https://parentalalienationanonymous.com/Email- familydisappeared@gmail.com

Show SummaryNatalie Elliott Handy, a caregiver for her husband and mother and co-host of the Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Podcast. During our conversation, we share the commitment that she and her sister have to highlighting and supporting military connected caregivers. Provide FeedbackAs a dedicated member of the audience, we would like to hear from you about the show. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts about the show in this short feedback survey. By doing so, you will be entered to receive a signed copy of one of our host's three books on military and veteran mental health. About Today's GuestNatalie is someone who genuinely loves people. She has a natural passion for meeting new faces, staying closely connected with family, friends, and colleagues, and, most of all, helping others. Anyone who knows her will readily say, “Natalie doesn't know a stranger.” It's simply who she has always been.Raised in her family's hardware store, Natalie learned early how to engage customers — and how to count change — by talking to everyone who walked through the door. At church, she was the first to volunteer to sing, recite Bible verses in “big church,” and attend every youth activity, especially lock-ins. In school, her teachers often placed her in the front row to help minimize “distractions,” because she was, without a doubt, a social butterfly.Those gifts — her ability to connect, her quick wit, and her desire to support others — naturally led her into leadership roles throughout her career in the mental health field. She married young at 21 and, many years later, again at 39. She often describes her first marriage as a light-hearted “practice run” with someone kind, but not Jason, the partner she shares her life with today.From the outside, Natalie's life looked picture-perfect: a fulfilling job, a loving husband, a close-knit support system, and of course, her beloved dogs. But behind the scenes, she was burning the candle at both ends — working 12-hour days, six days a week, answering every request with, “No problem. Happy to help.”Everything shifted when Jason was diagnosed with cancer in March 2022. In the midst of that crisis, Natalie confronted the truth that she couldn't keep living at that pace. During those darkest moments, she reconnected with her faith and, through that, rediscovered her true self. She learned to acknowledge her imperfections and, more importantly, to love herself fully — flaws and all.Today, Natalie has reordered her life with clear priorities: God, herself, Jason, family and friends, and then work. She says “no” far more often, seeks silver linings in difficult moments, and is grateful for the journey that led her to live God's plan instead of her own. She embraces the mantra of being “perfectly imperfect.”Her mission is simple: to share stories and experiences that inspire, uplift, and — whenever possible — spark a little laughter. She strives to encourage others to be true to themselves while supporting the people they love. And along the way, she fully intends to keep making new friends.Links Mentioned During the EpisodeConfessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Website2024 Heroes Caring for Heroes series2023 Heroes Caring for Heroes seriesPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's PsychArmor Resource of the Week is the PsychArmor course course Understanding the VA for Caregivers.

For this episode of Solidarity Across Borders, Owen brings two stories from his week that highlight a recurring theme in political life. He spoke with a conservative teacher who works in an underfunded classroom and still blames parents instead of the system. He also talked with a liberal vegan who sees ethical clarity in individual choices but avoids examining the global forces shaping the food industry. We look at how both viewpoints fall short and why systems analysis matters if we want real change.Owen's Linkshttps://www.youtube.com/@owenmacdonald7428https://bsky.app/profile/owenmacdonald.bsky.socialMy Linkshttps://linktr.ee/skepticalleftist
In this powerful episode, Alabama native and political candidate Dakarai Larriett talks about what it really means to lead with authenticity in one of the toughest states to do it. From surviving a false arrest to running openly as a gay Black man, Dakarai's story is a masterclass in courage, empathy, and conviction. In this episode we unpack the realities of running for office, reforming broken systems, and staying true to yourself when the odds are stacked high. What you will learn Authenticity wins hearts — how Dakarai's story of resilience and faith helps voters connect beyond politics. Systemic change requires courage — the truth about law enforcement reform, qualified immunity, and real accountability. Leadership through empathy — why compassion and conviction matter more than party lines in shaping Alabama's future. About Dakarai Dakarai Larriett is a proud Alabama native, entrepreneur, and community leader now running for public office to serve the people of his home state. The son of a U.S. Army veteran and a public-school teacher, Dakarai grew up with a deep respect for service, education, and hard work—values that continue to guide his life and leadership. An honors graduate of the University of Alabama (Magna Cum Laude) and MBA holder from NYU, Dakarai built a successful corporate career with L'Oréal and Whirlpool before launching his own nationally recognized pet-care company. His entrepreneurial journey—from garage startup to thriving business—reflects his belief that opportunity grows when we invest in people and communities. Since returning to Birmingham in 2021, Dakarai has become known for his servant leadership and civic engagement, volunteering with United Way, Meals on Wheels, and the Humane Society. He also leads the board representing 60 families and small businesses at Mercantile on Morris, a mixed-use development in downtown Birmingham. Grounded in faith and fueled by purpose, Dakarai is running for office to bring accountable leadership, economic opportunity, and community pride back to Alabama. When he's not serving or campaigning, you'll find him at the shooting range on Saturdays or at First United Methodist on Sundays—always proud to call Alabama home.

On this episode of ResEdChat, join our host Noah Montague and guest Jess Castaneda, Resident Director at Tulane University, as they talk about critically conscious supervision of graduate assistants of color in Residence Life. Graduate Assistants or GAs are the future of our far-from-perfect field. Systemic inequities exist within higher education that are crucial to unpack, dismantle, and reflect on. GAs are uniquely situated between student and staff, thus meaning that GAs of color can and do experience those same systems in more than one context. Thus, this makes the duty of full-time staff members in residence life to practice this form of supervision to properly support them. Thus, in this episode, Jess and Noah explore the concept of Critically Conscious Supervision, share impactful stories, and provide practical advice to Residence Life Staff.

In this episode, we feature some of the winners of poster and oral presentation competitions at the 2025 ADSA Annual Meeting in Louisville, Kentucky. Abstracts can be found here: ADSA 2025 Annual MeetingMS Oral Presentation, ProductionGuests: Trinidad Fernandez-Wallace and Dr. Lautaro Rostoll-Cangiano, University of Wisconsin-MadisonCo-host: Dr. Laura Niehues, BalchemAbstract 1218: Immunity at the crossroads of cellular metabolism: Navigating T helper shifts in the periparturient period of dairy cows. (0:08)Trinidad found that T-helper cell metabolism and proliferation were both upregulated after calving, which may impact the effectiveness of immune responses during the transition period. The group discusses if T-helper cells could be used as a marker of inflammation in the future and how Trinidad's results may have been different if samples had been collected between 3 and 28 days after calving.PhD Oral Presentation, ProductionGuests: Natnicha Taechachokevivat and Dr. Rafael Neves, Purdue UniversityCo-host: Dr. Sion Richards, Balchem Abstract 1107: Relationships between systemic inflammation, subclinical hypocalcemia, and hyperketonemia in clinically healthy Holstein cows. (8:07)Natnicha investigated the association of plasma haptoglobin (an inflammatory marker) on days 1 and 3 in milk with subclinical hypocalcemia and hyperketonemia. Systemic inflammation appears to be associated with subclinical hypocalcemia and hyperketonemia and reduced milk yield in multiparous cows. When multiparous cows exhibited both inflammation and metabolic disease indicators, they produced less milk; however, when primiparous cows exhibited both inflammation and metabolic disease indicators, they produced more milk. 3 Minute ThesisGuests: Savitha Saikumar and Dr. Diwaker Vyas, University of FloridaCo-host: Dr. Laura Niehues, BalchemAbstract 1548: Effects of peripartal supplementation of prototype postbiotics on intake, rumen fermentation, colostrum quality, and performance in transition dairy cows. (15:14)Savitha investigated the effects of a prototype postbiotic supplement in transition cows from 35 days before calving to 63 days after calving. Cows on the postbiotic treatment received 25 grams per day topdressed on their TMR. Before calving, the postbiotic had no effect on dry matter intake, body condition sore, body weight, or total VFAs. After calving, the postbiotic increased dry matter intake and milk yield after 6 weeks, and increased energy-corrected milk and fat-corrected milk with no effect on body weight, body condition score, or rumen fermentation profile.PhD Poster Guest: Amanda Fischer-Tlustos, University of Guelph Abstract 2012: Characterization of dry-period mammary acetate and glucose metabolism and their association with colostrum production in multiparous Holstein cattle. (25:15)Amanda's research evaluated acetate and glucose metabolism in the mammary gland during the dry and calving periods to better understand how colostrum is made. Acetate uptake by the udder remained fairly constant until one week before calving, when it started to increase. Glucose uptake did not increase until the onset of calving. Previous lactation milk production and far-off mammary metabolism were both negatively correlated with colostrum production. Amanda hypothesizes that high producing cows who have trouble drying off may have high amounts of metabolic activity in the mammary gland when they should have low activity, which may result in lower colostrum production at the subsequent calving. PhD Oral Presentation, Southern Branch DivisionGuests: Bridger Sparks and Dr. Clarissa Strieder-Barboza, Texas Tech UniversityCo-host: Dr. Ryan Pralle, BalchemAbstract 1215: Adipose tissue neuro-like cell profile changes with ketosis in dairy cows. (33:05)Bridger investigated neuro-like cells in the adipose tissue of cows with or without subclinical ketosis. The transcriptional profile of neuro-like cells changed when collected from cows with subclinical ketosis, which may indicate a potential regulatory role in adipose tissue metabolism. Perhaps modulation of neuro-like cells could potentially alleviate excessive adipose mobilization in the postpartum period. ADSA Graduate Student Division HighlightsGuests: Evelyn Yufeng Lin, North Carolina State University; Miranda Farricker, Cornell University; Conor McCabe, University of California-Davis; Dr. Maurice Eastridge, Ohio State University. (40:45) Dr. Eastridge is the chair of the ADSA Foundation and explains some of the Foundation's current projects. Evelyn and Conor are past presidents of the ADSA Graduate Student Division, and Miranda is the incoming president. Each student gives a bit of background on themselves and their research and describes what the Graduate Student Division does and how they foster new graduate students in ADSA.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, we welcome Kath Essing, author of The Courage to Speak Your Truth. Kath shares her journey from silence to advocacy after surviving childhood sexual abuse. We discuss why reclaiming your voice is essential for healing, the complexities of sharing your story, and the critical gaps in current support systems and justice processes. Kath offers honest reflections on what helped her heal, the unexpected challenges she faced, and practical advice for both survivors and supporters. If you or someone you know is navigating the path from trauma to empowerment, this conversation is not to be missed. About Kath Essing:Kath Essing is a survivor, author, and advocate whose memoir The Courage to Speak Your Truth calls on women and allies to break free from the silence surrounding childhood sexual abuse. Through her personal story and advocacy, Kath is working to reform outdated systems and empower others to reclaim their stories and their strength. Key Takeaways: The act of speaking out can be healing but also complex and risky without the right support. Supporters should focus on listening, believing, and holding space rather than offering quick solutions. Systemic changes are urgently needed in healthcare, education, and justice to better support survivors. Healing is a non-linear journey, often starting with private reflection before public advocacy. Writing can be a powerful first step toward processing trauma and reclaiming your voice.

Real Life Pharmacology - Pharmacology Education for Health Care Professionals
Airsupra is a combination inhaler that contains albuterol and budesonide, approved for as-needed use in adults with asthma. It represents the first rescue inhaler to combine a short-acting beta-2 agonist (SABA) with an inhaled corticosteroid (ICS) in a single device. The albuterol component provides rapid bronchodilation by relaxing airway smooth muscle, while budesonide works to reduce airway inflammation and mucus production. This dual mechanism allows Airsupra to not only relieve acute bronchoconstriction but also address the underlying inflammatory process that contributes to asthma exacerbations. Clinically, Airsupra is indicated for as-needed treatment or prevention of bronchoconstriction in adults with asthma, but it is not approved for COPD. The typical dosing is two inhalations as needed, with a maximum of six doses (12 inhalations) in a 24-hour period. The rationale for its use aligns with recent asthma guideline updates, which emphasize minimizing SABA-only use because it fails to address inflammation and may contribute to worse outcomes over time. Common adverse effects include tremor, nervousness, tachycardia, and hypokalemia from albuterol, as well as oral thrush and hoarseness from budesonide. Patients should rinse and spit after each use to reduce the risk of oral candidiasis. Drug interactions can occur with non-selective beta-blockers, which may blunt albuterol's effects. CYP3A4 also plays a role in budesonide metabolism. Systemic absorption typically isn't too much of an issue with infrequent use.
