Episode Summary: From middle school cliques to corporate boardrooms, patterns of competition, division, and survival strategies among women persist. Here's the thing though: this isn't about a flaw in women; it's about a flawed system. In this episode of the Advancing Women Podcast, we explore the rise of Queen Bee Syndrome and the "Pick-Me" phenomenon, and what pop culture, psychology, and gender bias research reveal about why these patterns exist, and how we can challenge them. We dig deep into: The cultural roots of Queen Bee and Pick-Me behaviors Internalized sexism, patriarchal bargaining, and the male gaze The myth of women as each other's worst enemy Strategies to disrupt toxic narratives and build true solidarity It's time to move from scarcity to solidarity, from competition to coalition—and rewrite the narrative with the persisterhood at the center. Key Takeaways: “Pick-Me” behavior isn't vanity, it's often survival in biased systems. Queen Bee Syndrome isn't about women being mean, it's about navigating tokenism and structural barriers. Internalized sexism and societal “shoulds” fuel division. Systemic bias, NOT women, is the root issue. Solidarity is the antidote to scarcity. Call to Action: Let's stop shaming Queen Bees and Pick-Me girls and start fixing the systems that pit women against each other. Let's write a new chapter grounded in persisterhood, because together, we rise further.

I'm over the moon excited to be unveiling and sharing the 8 Feminine Leadership Archetypes with you in this 10th season as a way for 'how' we can move through these transformational times. These archetypes are a reflection of what happens when we bring feminine presence into leadership, and value it. They can help us to stay clear and centered + strong in playing our part + empowered to wisely create realities that are rooted in wholeness, sustainability, freedom, harmony, love, connection + possibility... even if the mainstream world is reflecting a different reality.  I developed the Feminine Leadership Archetype model and system in 2018, based on 15 years of in depth study in feminine archetypal energy that spans across cultures, the energy is planetary. These leadership archetypes describe feminine presence and power - which is often not valued, compensated or even acknowleged within the systems we work, live and operate in. Although it is the energy that often holds everything together. It's the invisible things people rely on us for. It's what creates environments and cultures that foster people's growth, creativity and connectivity.  The archetypes give us language, symbol, metaphor, image and a sense of the energy within us we can access and apply. Coupled with traditional more masculine leadership energy, we then can create and model systems and power that reflect balanced leadership.  Here's what we will explore in episode #271: Illuminate: How we can embrace our own archetypal energy in a way that creates wholeness and harmony and empowers us to be co-creators of the realities we desire to see manifest. Educate: What are the Feminine Leaderships Archetypes and how we can apply these to our own lives, and then with the people, systems and causes we influences. A few words from our first archetype "The Creatrix:"  I birth new worlds … I hold the possibility of future generations in my hand, for who i care deeply and consciously, everything I need to create is within me, I am not here to feed the machine. I create freedom, love, harmony through the forms I midwife into being …  For the full Creatrix transmission tune in to this episode.

Young Human Blood Serum Factors Show Potential to Rejuvenate Skin Through Bone Marrow

BUFFALO, NY — August 1, 2025 — A new #research paper featured on the #cover of Volume 17, Issue 7 of Aging (Aging-US) was #published on July 25, 2025, titled “Systemic factors in young human serum influence in vitro responses of human skin and bone marrow-derived blood cells in a microphysiological co-culture system.” The study, led by first author Johanna Ritter and corresponding author Elke Grönniger from Beiersdorf AG, Research and Development Hamburg, shows that components in young human blood serum can help restore youthful properties to skin, but only when bone marrow cells are also present. This discovery highlights the role of bone marrow in supporting skin health and may allow for novel approaches aimed at slowing or reversing visible signs of aging. The research explored how factors present in blood serum, already known to influence aging in animal studies, act on human cells. Using an advanced system that mimics human circulation, the researchers connected a 3D skin model with a 3D bone marrow model. They found that young human serum alone was not enough to rejuvenate skin. However, when bone marrow cells were present, these serum factors changed the activity of those cells, which then secreted proteins that rejuvenated skin tissue. “Interestingly, we detected a significant increase in Ki67 positive cells in the dynamic skin model co-cultured with BM model and young serum compared to the model co-cultured with BM and old serum, indicating an improved regenerative capacity of the tissue.” Detailed analysis indicated that young serum stimulated the bone marrow to produce a group of 55 proteins, with 7 of them demonstrating the ability to boost cell renewal, collagen production, and other features associated with youthful skin. These proteins included factors that improved energy production in cells and reduced signs of cellular aging. Without the interaction between skin and bone marrow cells, these rejuvenating effects did not occur. This finding explains why earlier experiments in mice, where young and old animals shared a blood supply, showed rejuvenation across organs. It suggests that bone marrow-derived cells are critical messengers that transform signals from blood into effects on other tissues, including the skin. While these results are preclinical and not from human trials, they offer a starting point for new strategies in regenerative medicine and skin care. By identifying specific proteins that may carry rejuvenating signals, the study points to a new way to address age-related changes. Researchers emphasize that further studies will be needed to confirm these effects in humans and to test how these proteins can be safely and effectively applied in future therapies. Overall, this research is an important step in understanding how young blood serum factors influence human tissue and could guide the development of novel methods to maintain healthier skin as people age.

FMEP Fellow Peter Beinart speaks with Yuli Novak, executive director of the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem, about how and why B'Tselem has concluded that Israel is now and has been committing genocide in Gaza for nearly two years. Yuli describes Israeli leaders' statements of intent, Israeli military officers' orders and actions, and the catastrophic results on the Palestinian people in Gaza. Yuli and Peter discuss the urgency for international intervention to stop Israel's brutal actions in Gaza, how Israeli Jewish society justifies the genocide, and the dangers that Palestinians face without protection from the Israeli regime, including the danger that Israel may apply its genocidal policy to other areas under its control, including the West Bank. Read B'Tselem's new report, "Our Genocide," on their website: https://www.btselem.org/publications/202507_our_genocide From the report: “For nearly two years, Israel has been committing genocide in Gaza, acting in a systematic, deliberate way to destroy Palestinian society there through mass killing, causing serious bodily and mental harm and creating catastrophic conditions that prevent its continued existence in Gaza. Israel is openly promoting ethnic cleansing and the destruction of life-sustaining infrastructure for individuals and the group, with 2 million people starved, displaced, bombed and left by the world to die. The genocide must be stopped.” Yuli Novak is the Executive Director of B'Tselem. From 2012-2017, she was Executive Director of Breaking the Silence. In 2022, she published (in Hebrew) the memoir Who Do You Think You Are?, which will be published in English in 2025.  Peter Beinart is a Non-Resident Fellow at the Foundation for Middle East Peace.

5 Types of Reframing in Coaching Conversations

Are you stuck seeing a situation in only one way? That question is at the heart of this week's conversation, where we explore the powerful coaching skill of reframing, the gentle art of helping someone shift their perspective and unlock new possibilities. In this episode, we dive into the essence of reframing, what it is, why it matters, and how it can bring transformation in coaching conversations, leadership, and everyday life. We reflect on how reframing isn't about ignoring facts or bypassing emotion, but about opening up the lens to see a challenge from a more empowering viewpoint. Zoe was reminded of the times when a simple reframe from Jo had disrupted her own thinking, like during a long car journey when she was convinced Jo couldn't buy a house, and by the end, felt completely differently. Reframing can be that subtle nudge that opens up resourcefulness, choice, and ownership. We explore five types of reframing: Context Reframes; shifting the circumstances in which something is viewed Content Reframes; changing the meaning assigned to an experience Positive Intent Reframes; identifying the good intention behind behaviour Systemic Reframes; zooming out to consider relationships and environments Temporal Reframes; introducing time as a tool to gain distance and clarity What I loved most about this episode was reflecting on how everyday reframes, whether in coaching, parenting, or leadership, are already part of our lives. And when we bring awareness, sensitivity, and timing to them, they can become incredibly effective tools for transformation. Whether you're a coach, manager, or simply someone curious about human behaviour, this episode will deepen your understanding of how reframing can cultivate emotional agility, confidence, and self-leadership.   Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction to reframing and its purpose in coaching 01:25 – Getting stuck in thinking and how reframing unlocks options 04:12 – Real-life example of reframing during a conversation 06:32 – The emotional shift and reclaiming ownership through reframing 07:27 – What makes reframing different from asking questions 09:26 – Five types of reframes introduced 10:47 – When not to reframe: importance of timing and sensitivity 12:12 – Reframing self-judgement and guilt (e.g. being “too controlling”) 16:04 – The positive intent behind perfectionism 19:16 – Systemic reframes and reframing conflict within a team 22:08 – Time/temporal reframes and the value of future or past perspective 24:17 – Everyday leadership uses of reframing 25:15 – Deep presence and listening for meaning as a foundation for reframing   Key Lessons Learned: Reframing is about shifting meaning, not denying reality Timing is everything: don't rush a reframe when emotions are raw Coaches should stay unattached to whether a reframe “lands” or not There are multiple types of reframes; context, content, positive intent, systemic, and time-based Leaders can use reframing to support change, conflict, and morale in teams Reframing helps people reconnect with strengths, possibilities, and self-compassion Everyday reframes already exist in our language, we can choose to use them more consciously “What if” questions are powerful reframe starters Listening for assumptions and belief patterns helps shape relevant reframes Coaching skills like reframing support flexibility, meaning-making, and resilience   Keywords: Reframing in coaching, Emotional coaching, Confidence building, Coaching skills for leaders, Systemic reframing, Coaching mindset, Cognitive flexibility, Positive intent, Coaching techniques, Meaning-making in coaching,   Links & Resources https://mycoachingcourse.com – Quiz: Which coaching course is right for me? ·        Coaching Summit 2025: https://igcompany.co.uk/summit25

What happens when you target the root cause of indolent systemic mastocytosis? In this episode of The Itch Review, we unpack key findings from the article “Avapritinib versus Placebo in Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis,” published on May 23, 2023, in NEJM Evidence. Indolent Systemic Mastocytosis (ISM) is a rare chronic disease with life-altering symptoms. Until recently, treatment options were limited. We break down new data from Part 2 of the PIONEER study, which evaluated Avapritinib, a targeted therapy designed to inhibit the KIT D816V mutation that drives ISM. Dr. Gupta and Dr. Blaiss explain how Avapritinib works, how the study was designed, and what outcomes were measured, including the Total Symptom Score (TSS). Most importantly, we explore what this treatment could mean for patients with moderate to severe ISM. INFOGRAPHIC What we cover in our episode about avapritinib versus placebo: Understanding ISM: How the KIT D816V mutation causes overproduction and overactivation of mast cells. Why current treatment falls short: The limitations of best supportive care and why many patients remain symptomatic despite multiple medications. How Avapritinib works: A tyrosine kinase inhibitor that targets the KIT mutation directly, aiming to reduce mast cell activation at its source. Inside the PIONEER trial: Study design, eligibility criteria, and how outcomes like Total Symptom Score (TSS) and serum tryptase were measured. What the data showed: Improvements in symptoms, lab markers, and quality of life and what this could mean for long-term ISM care. The Itch Review, hosted by Dr. Gupta, Kortney, and Dr. Blaiss, explores allergy and immunology studies, breaking down complex research in conversations accessible to clinicians, patients, and caregivers. Each episode provides key insights from journal articles and includes a one-page infographic in the show notes for easy reference.   Made in partnership with The Allergy & Asthma Network.

There's a role for social media in destigmatizing mental health issues, but it also spreads misinformation. Systemic support is essential in educational institutions, in order to better assist students, especially those from marginalized communities. It's important not to over-pathologize normal emotional experiences. There was a creative process behind Dr. Willard's children's book, "Feelings Are Like Farts," which uses humor to engage kids in understanding emotions. Let the courses in the Neurodiversity University help you be a better educator, parent, and/or clinician. Dr. Christopher Willard is a clinical psychologist, author, and consultant based in Massachusetts, with a global presence as a speaker in over 40 countries and two TEDx events.

The Coaching Crowd Podcast with Jo Wheatley & Zoe Hawkins

How do we create truly inclusive coaching spaces where everyone feels a sense of belonging? In this episode we reflect on the role of coaches in fostering environments rooted in diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB). As we prepared for our upcoming Coaching Summit, it felt important to open this conversation up to share our own insights and challenges around this essential topic. When we think about DEIB in coaching, we are reminded that this is not about achieving perfection or ticking boxes. Instead, it's about holding curiosity and awareness for the lived experiences and identities our clients bring into the coaching space. We discuss how our own identities, privileges, and unconscious biases influence not only who we are as coaches but also how we create the coaching environment. Throughout the episode, we I reflect on why this work matters so deeply to us personally. Our own motivation comes from recognising the privilege we have experienced throughout our lives. We are driven by a desire to create spaces where people feel seen, valued, and able to be their whole selves. We break down what diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging mean within a coaching context: Diversity: Acknowledging the broad range of identities and lived experiences. Equity: Recognising not everyone starts from the same place and ensuring fair access. Inclusion: Intentionally creating spaces where people feel respected and heard. Belonging: Moving beyond inclusion to that felt sense of connection and acceptance. These are not abstract concepts for us, they sit at the heart of how we approach coaching, particularly in group or team settings where systemic influences are more pronounced. We also explore the discomfort coaches may feel: the fear of ‘getting it wrong' or unintentionally causing harm. But avoiding these conversations entirely is not the answer. We encourage leaning into bravery, curiosity, and reflective practice. We discuss: How to navigate conversations about identity, privilege, and systems with sensitivity and openness. The role of supervision in supporting us to notice when our biases show up. The importance of language and accessibility in creating inclusive spaces. The ethical tensions that can arise when coaching within organisations still rooted in inequality. Ultimately, this episode is about growth over perfection. DEIB is a lifelong commitment, one where our openness to learning will shape the impact we have as coaches. We hope this conversation invites you to reflect on your own practice and inspires you to take small, meaningful steps towards deeper inclusion. If this resonates with you, you are warmly invited to join us for our upcoming Coaching Summit on 29th July, where we will be exploring DEIB in coaching even further.

Our identities and biases influence the coaching space, whether we are conscious of it or not. Inclusive coaching requires bravery, curiosity, and reflective practice. Asking thoughtful, open questions can invite deeper reflection on identity and systemic influences. Supervision is a vital tool for exploring blind spots and deepening our DEIB practice.   Keywords: Diversity in coaching, Equity in coaching, Inclusion coaching conversations, Belonging in coaching, Inclusive coaching spaces, Coaching and unconscious bias, Coaching and privilege, Brave spaces in coaching, Systemic influences in coaching, Coaching summit on DEIB,   Links & Resources Coaching Summit 2025: https://igcompany.co.uk/summit25

Systemic sexual violence by the Myanmar army and proxies began to be widely reported in the 2010s, in the course of genocidal violence against Rohingya in the country's west. At the same time, the Myanmar government, which was then a military-civilian hybrid, negotiated with international organisations to set up a mechanism to monitor and deal with the violence. In this episode of New Books in Southeast Asian Studies, Phyu Phyu Oo discusses her research on this violence, and attempts to deal with it through the United Nations system, published as Conflict-related Sexual Violence in Myanmar: The Role of the State (De Gruyter, 2025).

Today's topic is all things matrescence as we look at the book, Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage. We will discuss the process of matrescence and the developmental steps that many people do not understand. Join us to learn more! Jessie Harrold is a coach and doula who has been supporting women through radical life transformations and other rites of passage for over 15 years. She works one-on-one with women and mothers to facilitate mentorship programs, women's circles, rituals, retreats, and nature-based experiences. Jessie is the author of Mothershift: Reclaiming Motherhood as a Rite of Passage and Project Body Love: my quest to love my body and the surprising truth I found instead. She also hosts The Becoming Podcast. Jessie lives on the east coast of Canada, where she raises her two children, writes, and tends the land. Show Highlights: What is matrescence? Comparisons between matrescence and adolescence (both transitions are processes that take time) Jessie's model of matrescence: The Four Elements of Radical Transformation: Earth – Orient yourself to what's true, and name the change. Water – (Think tears.) Grief over the self you were before this transformation is a normal part of transitioning to motherhood. Air – The liminal space of the “in-between” when you haven't fully integrated into the identity of being a mother. Fire – An igniting of the ember within you as you integrate into the identity of motherhood. This motherhood transition is an opportunity to let go of other things that aren't serving us well. Systemic factors that force women into “losing themselves in motherhood” The challenges we face in motherhood are part of the development into matrescence, but we still need the tools and resources to navigate them. “The Mother Powers”- the things that help us get through matrescence Matrescence is a beautiful process.

CardioNerds (Dr. Claire Cambron and Dr. Rawan Amir) join Dr. Ayan Purkayastha, Dr. David Song, and Dr. Justin Wang from NewYork-Presbyterian Queens for an afternoon of hot pot in downtown Flushing. They discuss a case of congenital heart disease presenting in adulthood. Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Su Yuan, and audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Julia Marques Fernandes. A 53-year-old woman with a past medical history of hypertension visiting from Guyana presented with 2 days of chest pain. EKG showed dominant R wave in V1 with precordial T wave inversions. Troponin levels were normal, however she was started on therapeutic heparin with plan for left heart catheterization. Her chest X-ray revealed dextrocardia and echocardiogram was suspicious for the systemic ventricle being the morphologic right ventricle with reduced systolic function and the pulmonic ventricle being the morphologic left ventricle. Patient underwent coronary CT angiography which confirmed diagnosis of congenitally corrected transposition of the great arteries (CCTGA) as well as minimal non-obstructive coronary artery disease. Her chest pain spontaneously improved and catheterization was deferred. Patient opted to follow with a congenital specialist back in her home country upon discharge.   US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds! Submit your manuscript here.

Pearls- A Case of Congenital Heart Disease Presenting in Adulthood Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries (CCTGA) is a rare and unique structural heart disease which presents as an isolated combination of atrioventricular and ventriculoarterial discordance resulting in physiologically corrected blood flow.   CCTGA occurs due to L looping of the embryologic heart tube. As a result, the morphologic right ventricle outflows into the systemic circulation, and the morphologic left ventricle outflows into the pulmonary circulation.   CCTGA is frequently associated with ventricular septal defects, pulmonic stenosis, tricuspid valve abnormalities and dextrocardia.   CCTGA is often asymptomatic in childhood and can present later in adulthood with symptoms of morphologic right ventricular failure, tricuspid regurgitation, or cardiac arrhythmias.   Systemic atrioventricular valve (SAVV) intervention can be a valuable option for treating right ventricular failure and degeneration of the morphologic tricuspid valve.  notes- A Case of Congenital Heart Disease Presenting in Adulthood Notes were drafted by Ayan Purkayastha.  What is the pathogenesis of Congenitally Corrected Transposition of the Great Arteries?   Occurs due to disorders in the development of the primary cardiac tube   Bulboventricular part of the primary heart forms a left-sided loop instead of right-sided loop, leading to the normally located atria being connected to morphologically incompatible ventricles   This is accompanied by abnormal torsion of the aortopulmonary septum (transposition of the great vessels)   As a result, there is ‘physiologic correction' of blood flow. Non-oxygenated blood flows into the right atrium and through the mitral valve into the morphologic left ventricle, which pumps blood into the pulmonary artery. Oxygenated blood from the pulmonary veins flows into the left atrium and through the tricuspid valve to the morphologic right ventricle, which pumps blood to the aorta. Compared with standard anatomy, the flow of blood is appropriate, but it is going through the incorrect ventricle on both sides.  Frequent conditions associated with CCTGA include VSD, pulmonic stenosis and dextrocardia

Taylor suggests that higher interest rates can be stimulative for the private sector, as they provide significant income for investors and institutions. He notes that while high rates can hurt small businesses, the broader economy remains relatively stable, especially with tech sectors demonstrating low cyclicality. Regarding fiscal policy, Taylor warns about potential "fiscal dominance" - a scenario where monetary policy becomes subservient to government funding needs. He believes this might occur if the Federal Reserve begins cutting rates inappropriately, even with persistent inflation. The discussion explores potential economic risks, with housing being a critical sector to watch. Taylor sees similarities to the 2008 housing market in terms of home prices versus incomes, but emphasizes that current credit quality and household balance sheets are much stronger. On trade policy, Taylor is skeptical about reshoring efforts, arguing that blanket tariffs could create more economic complications than benefits. He highlights the complexity of global supply chains and the potential inflationary impacts of aggressive tariff strategies. The labor market remains a key indicator, with Taylor observing a cooling but not collapsing job market. He sees potential job market stress in sectors like home building and healthcare, particularly following recent legislative changes. Regarding currencies and commodities, Taylor anticipates a potential short-term dollar rally driven by inflation concerns and rate differentials. He remains bullish on gold, primarily due to consistent central bank purchases, though he expects a period of consolidation. Overall, Taylor presents a nuanced view of the economy, emphasizing the interconnectedness of fiscal policy, asset prices, and global economic dynamics, while cautioning against oversimplified interpretations of economic indicators.

Across these two fiery segments, the host investigates the tangled web of misconduct among America's intelligence elites and the unresolved mysteries surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death. First, listeners hear a relentless indictment of former CIA Director John Brennan and ex-FBI Director James Comey—accused of lying under oath, illegally spying on Congress, and knowingly peddling the bogus Steele dossier to justify surveillance on Donald Trump. The analysis highlights how the statute of limitations and D.C. courts shield powerful figures from consequences. The focus then shifts to the Epstein saga, as revelations emerge that video evidence “proving” he died alone in his cell actually showed footage of other areas, with the camera facing his cell conveniently disabled. Commentary from Glenn Beck, Laura Ingraham, and a visibly distraught Alex Jones underscores public outrage at what increasingly appears to be a coordinated cover-up. Together, the episodes paint a chilling portrait of how entrenched power and deception have eroded Americans' faith in their institutions.
