Podcasts about taking charge

"Take charge. Your retirement is your time." Our hosts, Stephanie McCullough and Kevin Gaines, sit down with Dr. Andi Simon, corporate anthropologist and author of Rethink Retirement, whose research offers a bracing corrective to how most people think about life after work. Andi spent years embedding herself in senior living communities on the west coast, interviewing residents who had done everything "right" financially and still found themselves empty, bored, and stripped of identity. Through it all, she's concluded that retiring from something is not the same as retiring to something. The central tension Andi identifies is one of agency. Retirement is a transition most people face without any rehearsal. Unlike a career, which assigns identity, purpose, and daily rhythm almost automatically, retirement demands that individuals build those things from scratch. Most people don't realize this until the calendar is suddenly, completely clear. Her research also surfaces a loneliness epidemic quietly accelerating among retirees. Work colleagues disappear, and friendships built around shared roles don't transfer easily. Also, relationships don't deepen automatically just because time is now available. Instead, they must be deliberately cultivated. Andi suggests trying new activities, building community intentionally, and recognizing which old roles to carry forward and which to release. Above all, she invites near-retirees to take charge, not just of their portfolio, but of the life waiting on the other side!   Key Topics: What is a Corporate Anthropologist?

This book turned Vic into a self-proclaimed mini OBGYN, so today she is joined by the woman behind it: Toni Weschler. Toni is the author of the groundbreaking book Taking Charge of Your Fertility, the guide Vic thinks should be required reading for every woman. In this episode, Victoria sits down with the renowned public health educator and fertility expert to break down menstrual cycles, fertility awareness, and why understanding your body is empowering whether you want kids someday or never.

What if stroke treatment could start in the ambulance instead of the hospital? In this conversation, Dr. Ritvij Bowry sits down with us to explain how mobile stroke units are helping patients get faster care when every second matters. When a stroke happens, time is critical. The sooner doctors can diagnose the problem and begin treatment, the better the chances of recovery. Dr. Bowry shares how specially equipped ambulances with CT scanners and expert teams are bringing stroke care directly to patients – thus changing the possibilities of emergency medicine… Hit play to find out: Early interventions that can help people after suffering a stroke. The three types of stroke, and why they are treated differently. The two most commonly used medicines for stroke.  What the future of emergency stroke care may look like. Dr. Ritvij Bowry is a board-certified neurologist specializing in Neurocritical Care, stroke treatment, and vascular neurology. He serves as Associate Professor at UTHealth Houston, where his research focuses on acute neurological emergencies and innovative approaches to stroke care. He earned his medical degree from Ross University School of Medicine in Miramar, Florida. After completing his residency at New York University Medical Center and an internship at New York Presbyterian Hospital in Queens, he pursued advanced fellowship training at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston in both Neurocritical Care and Stroke/Vascular Neurology. Dr. Bowry's primary research focus includes the BEST-MSU study (Benefits of Stroke Treatment Using a Mobile Stroke Unit), a multi-center trial evaluating whether delivering stroke treatment directly in the field leads to better outcomes than traditional emergency department care.

In this episode of the Fertility Friday Podcast, Lisa welcomes back Toni Weschler, MPH, author of the landmark book Taking Charge of Your Fertility, along with Toni's niece Sabrina Nowicki, co-creator and product lead of the Cyclisity app. Toni shares the behind-the-scenes story of how Taking Charge of Your Fertility came to be — from a humbling experience at a women's health clinic in the late 1980s to a bidding war among major publishers — and reflects on what has changed in the field of fertility awareness over the past 30-plus years. Sabrina walks listeners through the vision behind Cyclisity, explaining how the app was designed as an educational companion to Taking Charge of Your Fertility, running the four FAM rules as taught in the book and directing users back to the relevant pages and chapters as they chart. The episode also covers the importance of data privacy, the limitations of ovulation predictor kits as a standalone tool, and why education remains the foundation of effective fertility awareness practice.

“Entrepreneurs want to help. Just call on us.” So says clean energy entrepreneur Jigar Shah, who is imploring New York State lawmakers to recognize the danger of the energy crisis. Shah held a prominent position in the Biden administration and is now working to convince Governor Hochul and the legislature to act urgently. The worldwide energy crisis, exacerbated by the war in Iran, has only intensified the situation. Shah and his colleagues join us to talk about the specific actions that the state could take this month – actions that Shah says would reduce energy bills for people who are already struggling.

I'm joined by extraordinary women who are changing the way women understand our fertility cycles: Toni Weschler, internationally respected women's health educator and author of the landmark book Taking Charge of Your Fertility (translated into 12 languages), and Sabrina Nowicki, engineer, product designer, fertility awareness method practitioner, and CEO of Cyclicity -  the new app built as the perfect companion to Toni's book. What makes this collaboration even more special? Toni is Sabrina's aunt, and their bond has been at the heart of this project from the very beginning. We are talking about why so many women have never been taught the basics of their own cycles, and how the Fertility Awareness Method (FAM) offers a science-backed, no-algorithm, no-black-box approach to understanding your body. Whether you're trying to conceive, navigating a fertility treatment cycle, or simply want to take charge of your reproductive health, this conversation will change the way you think about your cycle: from drama to data. Read the full show notes on my website. In this episode, we cover: What the Fertility Awareness Method actually is,  and how it's completely different from the outdated rhythm method The two primary fertility signs (basal body temperature and cervical fluid) and why the symptothermal method is more reliable than tracking one sign alone How Cyclicity was built to mirror the exact terminology and rules in Taking Charge of Your Fertility  making it a true companion to the book Why Cyclicity uses no predictive algorithms and gives you full transparency into how each day of your cycle is classified How FAM charting can help fertility patients bring richer, more actionable data to their doctor, potentially expediting diagnosis and treatment The common mistakes beginners make when starting to chart, and how the app is designed to support learning and reduce errors Cyclicity's commitment to user privacy: self-funded, no data selling, no ads, with the option to store your data only on your phone or personal iCloud Resources: Cyclicity app (Apple App Store): https://www.cyclisity.com/ Taking Charge of Your Fertility by Toni Weschler: tcoyf.com Cycle Savvy by Toni Weschler (for teens): available online Cyclicity on Instagram: @cyclisity Cyclicity on TikTok: @cyclisityapp Sabrina Nowicki on Instagram & TikTok: @wanderingsabrina Buy Dr. Aimee's Book "The Egg Whisperer Way" on Amazon!

What if your PCOS diagnosis is about more than fertility? What if the symptoms you've been told to "just manage" are actually your body asking for deeper support? And what if you could take back control in a way that feels empowering rather than restrictive? In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine sits down with registered dietitian and author of PCOS is My Power Cory Ruth, RDN  to explain all about Polycystic Ovary Syndrome (PCOS) and why it's often misunderstood. Cory shares her personal journey to diagnosis and how it shaped her mission to help women better understand the metabolic, hormonal, and reproductive components of PCOS.  Dr. Shahine and Cory cover the diagnostic criteria, common misconceptions (like "just lose weight"), and the evolving science around lifestyle interventions, blood sugar regulation, and long-term health outcomes. This episode will give listeners a clearer understanding of how to manage PCOS through sustainable nutrition, movement, and mindset shifts, without falling into restrictive or shame-based approaches. Cory's refreshing expertise helps us reframe PCOS as a potential catalyst for lifelong health—giving you the tools to feel informed, supported, and back in the driver's seat.

“Every woman's cycle is different, and it can change from one cycle to the next.” - Sabrina NowickiFor many women, tracking their cycle is synonymous with app predictions. An app tells you when you're ovulating, when your period is coming, and what to expect next. But that model assumes that our bodies all follow the same pattern month after month, which is rarely the case in reality. Our cycles are influenced by stress, travel, illness, sleep, underlying health conditions, and many other factors in our daily lives. When we learn how to listen, we make room to hear what our bodies are telling us in real time.While digital tools can make tracking more convenient, they don't replace the need to understand your own physiology. Learning to recognize patterns in cervical fluid, basal body temperature, and cycle variability isn't just about fertility. It's about developing a deeper relationship with your body and empowering yourself in a way that can support you and even make earlier identification of health issues more likely.Today, I'm joined by Sabrina Nowicki, co-founder and CEO of Cyclisity, an app inspired by the work of Toni Weschler and her book, Taking Charge of Your Fertility. Sabrina shares the story behind building the app and how it was designed as a companion to the fertility awareness method rather than a predictive tool. In this conversation, we talk about the limitations of algorithm-based cycle tracking, why awareness is more accurate than prediction, how charting can support both fertility and diagnosis, how clinicians can integrate this approach into their practices, and more.Enjoy the episode, and let's innovate and integrate together!---Learn more or watch the video version of this conversation at https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/30-years-of-toni-weschlers-taking-care-of-your-fertility-with-sabrina-nowicki-and-cyclisity/.Connect with me and access our entire platform at IntegrativeWomensHealthInstitute.com (https://integrativewomenshealthinstitute.com/).Find and follow us @integrativewomenshealth on YouTube (https://www.youtube.com/@integrativewomenshealth) and Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/integrativewomenshealth/).

When Edie Miller received her breast cancer diagnosis in July 2021, she was shocked, but not unprepared. Years of researching holistic health while helping her aging parents get off medications, combined with watching multiple family members navigate cancer treatment, had already shaped her philosophy: find the root cause, empower the body, and don't expect your oncologist to know what they haven't studied.Diagnosed with stage one, grade one, slow-growing breast cancer, Edie chose a lumpectomy but declined radiation and hormone blockers. When post-surgical pathology revealed angiolymphatic invasion, rather than pursuing additional surgery and expanded radiation, she doubled down on her integrative approach, juicing, high-dose vitamin C infusions, essential oils (including a homemade frankincense, myrrh, and turmeric body butter), castor oil packs, coffee enemas for liver detox, iodine supplementation, and upgraded water filtration. She also credits the Truth About Cancer convention in Nashville and Chris Wark's resources as pivotal guides.Four and a half years later, Edie is cancer-free and channeling her experience into a new business — Integrative Thermography — offering thermography, red light therapy, and whole-body vibration to clients in Middle Tennessee who are looking for proactive, non-invasive health monitoring and support. She's also a Healing Strong group leader, walking alongside others who feel pressure to simply go along with conventional recommendations.Her core message: doctors can only advise within what they've studied. The responsibility to research alternatives falls on the patient — and knowledge, she says, is power.HealingStrong's mission is to educate, equip and empower our group leaders and group participants through their journey with cancer or other chronic illnesses, and know there is HOPE.

Are ovulation predictor kits enough to time intercourse? Can an app really tell you when you're fertile? And what if your body has been giving you the answers all along?  In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine is talking to fertility awareness pioneer Dr.  Are ovulation predictor kits enough to time intercourse? Can an app really tell you when you're fertile? And what if your body has been giving you the answers all along?  In this episode of Brave & Curious, Dr. Lora Shahine is talking to fertility awareness pioneer Toni Weschler, author of Taking Charge of Your Fertility, and her niece, software engineer, Sabrina Nowicki. These three women explore how women can confidently track ovulation, understand cervical fluid, and take charge of their reproductive health with both education and technology. Toni Weschler shares the powerful origin story behind her decades of paper charting and why she once resisted fertility apps altogether. She believed that a thermometer, a pen, and knowledge of your own body were enough.  Sabrina explains how that philosophy evolved into Cyclisity, an educational cycle tracking app designed as the perfect companion to the book. Unlike predictive period apps that rely on algorithms and "average" 28-day cycles, Cyclisity follows the sympto-thermal method exactly as taught in Toni's work. It will finally make sense why basal body temperature confirms ovulation but doesn't predict it, how cervical fluid signals approaching fertility, why ovulation predictor kits can miss critical timing, and how improper app use can delay fertility diagnosis or lead to unintended pregnancy.  This conversation is a masterclass in reproductive education and body literacy while blending science, privacy, and modern technology.

Dr. Birnbaum also addresses common early fears, including confusion about autoimmune disease and anxiety around immunosuppressive medications, reframing treatment as dialing down an overactive immune response rather than taking away your immune system. Throughout the episode, he encourages self-advocacy, realistic hope, and partnership with your care team, and shares insights from his book“Living well with autoimmune diseases”  A Rheumatologist's Guide to Taking Charge of Your Health. The takeaway is empowering and hopeful: we're living in a “golden era” of RA care, with more effective treatments and real reason to believe a full, meaningful life is possible alongside this diagnosis.Episode at a glance:00:20 Dr. Burnbaum's Background and Passion for Arthritis & Neurology05:19 The Diagnostic Process in Rheumatology08:59 Understanding Inflammatory Arthritis15:22 Explaining Autoimmune Diseases and Inflammation23:11 The Role of Immunosuppressive Therapies28:16 Personalized Treatment Plans in Rheumatology30:50 Understanding Diagnostic Criteria and Nuances31:31 Dealing with Diagnostic Ambiguity32:57 Empowerment Through Patient-Doctor Partnership38:10 Practical Tips for Patient Empowerment46:03 Realistic Hope and Coping Strategies56:34 Concluding Thoughts and ResourcesMedical disclaimer: All content found on Arthritis Life public channels was created for generalized informational purposes only.

In this solo episode, Michelle Glogovac pulls back the curtain on her unexpected path as an author—from the twists in traditional publishing to the moments that forced her to bet on herself. She talks candidly about what it really takes to navigate this industry, why the relationship with your agent should feel like a partnership (not a guessing game), and how crucial it is to honor the work authors pour into their books. Through her own experience, Michelle reminds writers to trust their instincts, advocate for their careers, and never forget to show gratitude for the people who help bring stories into the world.What We're Talking About...You're the one steering your writing career—no one else gets to hold the pen.You have full permission to write the stories you want to write.No publisher, no agent, no algorithm will market your book like you will.Feeling alone in the publishing process is normal, and it doesn't mean you're doing it wrong.You can build the writing life you want; nothing is off-limits.Know what you want in an agent—and don't settle for less.There's zero shame in changing agents when the relationship no longer fits.Publishing is a roller coaster; expect the highs and the gut punches.Showing gratitude to authors—and acknowledging their work—is essential.Your future is yours to shape, and you get to decide what happens next.ChaptersChapters00:00 The Journey of an Author03:34 Navigating Challenges in Publishing05:57 Embracing Change and New Opportunities06:16 Taking Charge of Your Writing Career09:12 The Importance of Persistence and Self-Promotion12:09 Gratitude for Authors and Creators

Send us a textResponsibility isn't a vibe—it's a skill set that protects your dog, your community, and your peace of mind. We open with a frank look at UK law and why “friendly” doesn't matter if someone feels scared, especially when your dog is big and loud. Then we share Bonnie's transformation from high-stakes history to steady, social companion, using practical tools any owner can apply: games-based training, thoughtful management, and stepwise freedom.We break down the real difference size and arousal make in public spaces and how to lower risk with clear choices. You'll hear simple ways to turn chaos into calm: teaching a rock-solid recall and proximity, introducing a positive muzzle for safety, and making off-lead time a gradual, low-pressure progression rather than an all-or-nothing leap. At the vet, we show how planning ahead—videos, car waiting, cooperative care—can prevent panic and protect everyone. At home, we talk countersurfing prevention, guest setups, pens and gates, and how tiny tweaks stop big mistakes from ever happening.Bonnie's “ding dong dash” routine for deliveries shows how boundaries create freedom. With selective play, capped arousal, and careful dog-to-dog intros, progress sticks and stress stays low. Games turn training into emotion change, not just obedience; management buys safety while those new habits bed in. If you've wondered how to juggle kindness with control, or how to move from fear of mistakes to confident, everyday wins, this is your guide to becoming your dog's best advocate and safest leader.If this helped you rethink responsibility, share it with someone who needs a clearer plan.

“Are the kids okay?” Mental health in children and teens has been at the forefront of topics for concern, especially since the pandemic. Ross Szabo discusses the importance of mental health education in schools, and how we can normalize talking about it in our everyday conversations.          This podcast is made possible by generous funding from Academy Spouses' Club https://www.usafaasc.org/ and Randolph Spouses' Club https://randolphspousesclub.membershiptoolkit.com/home.   Audio mixing by Concentus Media, Inc., Temple, Texas.   Show Notes:   Resources:   https://humanpowerproject.com/   Bio: Ross Szabo Talking about emotions can be a challenge, but Ross's brutally honest, relatable and humorous approach puts audiences at ease as they confront a difficult topic. When Ross was a freshman in college, everything on the surface seemed to be fine. He was making friends, getting good grades and had a fun social life. However, no one could have imagined how many emotions he was suppressing. Ross was diagnosed with bipolar disorder at age 16, was hospitalized for attempting to take his own life during his senior year of high school, and like so many other freshman, just wanted to fit in. He tried to hide what he was feeling to convince everyone that everything was ok, but that can only last for so long. Ross's story resonates with the millions of college students who are putting on a happy face to hide their true emotions. Ross uses tasteful humor and insights to help participants understand common mental health conditions and individual differences. He also covers warning signs that students can look for in their friends and peers, as well as resources that can provide guidance in these sensitive situations. Ross is NOW the CEO of the Human Power Project. He is an award-winning mental health speaker, writer, trainer and Returned Peace Corps Volunteer. Ross has spoken to more than 1 million students about the importance of mental health and provided a positive example to empower them to seek help. He received the 2010 Didi Hirsch Removing the Stigma Leadership Award, 2012 Changing Minds Award and had his advocacy work entered into the Congressional Record. He is the co-author of Behind Happy Faces; Taking Charge of Your Mental Health and a blogger for The Huffington Post.

In November 2023, JP, while still serving in the US Army, did an update where he discussed Nordic extraterrestrials and Inner Earth Beings taking charge of the Atlantic Space Ark. In this interview, Alex Collier discussed the ramifications of Nordics taking over space arks and whether that was a positive development or not.He also discussed future timelines where humanity is living on space arks and questions whether that is an accurate timeline or part of a deception being facilitated by the Nordics or Inner Earthers. In addition, Collier discussed the stalement between the Deep State and Earth Alliance over control of Earth, and the potential threat posed by AI.This interview was recorded in December 2023 and is being released for the first time today as it raises important questions about the long-term intentions of different Nordics groups that JP has encountered since 2008, and whether those taking charge of space arks can be considered to be benevolent or not towards surface humanity. This interview casts light on more recent claims that a synthetic group of Nordics are members of the Galactic Federation and have their own agenda in interacting with humanity, and accessing ancient technologies such as space arks.Alex Collier's website is: AlexCollier.org
