The Sonography Lounge – Episode 52 Moral Injury in Sonography with Kevin D. Evans, PhD, MA, RDMS, RVS, FSDMS, FAIUMIn this episode of The Sonography Lounge, we welcome Kevin D. Evans, PhD, MA, RDMS, RVS, FSDMS, FAIUM—Professor, Faculty Emeritus, Academy Professor, Director of the Laboratory for Investigatory Imaging, Editor-in-Chief of the Journal of Diagnostic Medical Sonography, and Board Secretary of OSU Total Health & Wellness Community Care, Inc.—for an important conversation on Moral Injury in Ultrasound and the lasting impact COVID-19 had on sonographers and healthcare professionals everywhere.During the pandemic, sonographers faced extraordinary challenges—balancing patient care, personal safety, overwhelming workloads, and the emotional weight of serving on the front lines. Many experienced not only physical exhaustion, but also moral injury: the deep mental and emotional strain that occurs when professional responsibilities, personal values, and healthcare system limitations collide.Dr. Evans shares insight into both the short- and long-term effects these experiences have had on sonographers, from burnout and compassion fatigue to career uncertainty and personal recovery. He also discusses his ongoing advocacy efforts to support sonographers and other healthcare workers by creating resources, encouraging open conversations, and helping professionals rebuild both their careers and their well-being after such an unprecedented time.This episode is a powerful reminder that caring for the caregiver is just as important as caring for the patient. Through awareness, support, and meaningful conversations, healthcare professionals can begin the process of healing and regaining balance in both life and career.If you or someone you know is experiencing emotional distress, burnout, or crisis, help is available 24/7.Text HOME to 741741 to connect with a volunteer Crisis Counselor.

In this episode recorded at the 2026 American Psychosocial Oncology Society (APOS) annual meeting, Daniel C. McFarland, DO, sat down with Kelly Irwin, MD, to address one of the most challenging topics in oncology: suicide risk. The conversation aimed to equip oncologists with the tools and confidence to navigate the emotional complexities of cancer care.Key Discussion Points: Understanding the Risk: Patients with cancer experience more than double the risk of completed suicide compared with the general population. The risk is highest during the first month following a diagnosis—a 12-fold increase in some studies—and remains elevated for the first year. Identifying High-Risk Factors: Beyond a prior suicide attempt (the No.1 risk factor), specific contributors include advanced-stage disease, financial distress, and cancers that impact core identity or physical function, such as head and neck or pancreatic cancers. The Power of Asking: Both experts emphasized that a clinician asking about suicide does not increase the risk. Irwin advises clinicians to trust their instincts and use a continuum of questioning, starting with general feelings of hopelessness and moving toward specific plans and access to "means" (such as firearms or medication). The "Don't Worry Alone" Rule: Irwin urged clinicians never to handle these concerns in isolation. She recommended involving social workers, nurses, and family members, noting that in life-threatening situations, clinician-patient confidentiality (HIPAA) can be "broken" to ensure safety. Relieving Suffering and Building Connection: The primary goal is to make the "unbearable bearable". Irwin highlighted that even small, non-transactional gestures—like a "thinking of you" message—can significantly decrease suicide risk by reinforcing a patient's sense of belonging and mattering.

SummaryIn this conversation, Dr. Natalie discusses the challenges women face during midlife, particularly around wellness shaming, hormonal changes, and the pressure to conform to societal expectations. She emphasizes the importance of introspection and listening to one's body rather than relying solely on external validation and wellness culture. Dr. Natalie encourages women to embrace their individuality and build self-worth from within, acknowledging that it's okay to make mistakes along the way.TakeawaysThe exhaustion women feel in midlife is real and valid.Hormonal changes can create chaos in our bodies, similar to adolescence.Habit formation is challenging, especially when trying to adapt to new life phases.Introspection is crucial; we should listen to our bodies rather than just external advice.Wellness culture often exploits women's insecurities for profit.It's important to recognize that each woman's experience is unique.Building self-worth from within is essential for navigating midlife.It's okay to not have all the answers about what your body needs.Listening to your body can lead to better health outcomes than following external advice.You are not broken; you are evolving.Keywordsmidlife, wellness, hormones, introspection, self-worth, health, women, perimenopause, wellness culture, body positivitySound bites"The exhaustion is real.""It's okay to mess it up.""You are not broken."Chapters00:00 The Pressure of Midlife Wellness06:18 The Challenge of Habit Formation11:38 Critique of Wellness Culture21:00 Embracing Your Inner ExpertResources & Links: Connect with Dr. Natalie:Website ⁠https://LearnToLoveYourStory.com⁠⁠ ⁠Facebook ⁠facebook.com/learntoloveyourstory⁠Instagram⁠ instagram.com/dr.nataliemarr⁠Linked In ⁠linkedin.com/in/natalie-m-marr-psy-d-lp-6a9298147⁠Tik Tok ⁠tiktok.com/@doc.natalie⁠DISCLAIMER: The content in this podcast and video is not a replacement for therapy and is not clinical, medical, or mental health treatment.

This episode of Dead Time with Dead October Paranormal dives into the dark underbelly of Tinseltown to ask the question: Is Hollywood truly as evil as the rumors suggest? Join the Dead October Paranormal crew—Castle Cage, Jonathan Martinez, and Joseph Bernal—as they trade haunted asylums for the glitz and shadows of Los Angeles. In this hard-hitting investigation, the team examines the unsettling "creepy things" reported by insiders and researchers alike. From the tragic echoes of the Golden Age to the modernday whispers of corruption, they explore whether the city's foundations are built on more than just broken dreams. In This Episode: • The Hollywood Narrative: The crew debates the long-standing theories surrounding the industry's "dark side" and why so many urban legends center on this specific zip code. • Rituals & Released Files: The team digs into recently surfaced reports and "files" detailing alleged occult rituals and clandestine ceremonies that have long remained hidden from the public eye. • The Cannibalism Taboo: We tackle the shocking and controversial claims of cannibalism within elite circles, looking for the truth behind the headlines. • The Investigation: As paranormal experts, the crew looks for the spiritual residue left behind by these alleged acts—does the energy of Hollywood feel different? "They say the stars shine bright in Hollywood, but we're looking at the shadows they cast. Are these stories just urban legends, or are we looking at a systemic darkness?"

SummaryIn this episode, Dr. Natalie explores the concept of 'The Great Unlearning,' a transformative journey that challenges the societal belief that doing everything right leads to a fulfilling life. She reflects on her personal experiences, particularly during midlife, where she realized that striving for perfection and external validation often leads to burnout and disillusionment. Dr. Natalie emphasizes the importance of self-worth and the need to reclaim it from within, rather than through external achievements or approval. Through poignant anecdotes, she illustrates how the pressure to conform to societal expectations can lead to a double life and emotional turmoil, ultimately advocating for a shift towards self-love and acceptance.Dr. Natalie introduces the metaphor of the tugboat versus the lighthouse to illustrate the difference between exhausting oneself in the pursuit of perfection and standing firm in one's self-worth. She encourages listeners to reflect on their own lives, identifying where they may be sacrificing their well-being in the name of doing everything right. The episode serves as a powerful reminder that true fulfillment comes from within, and that midlife can be an opportunity for profound personal growth and self-discovery.Keywords:midlife, self-worth, personal growth, self-love, great unlearning, emotional well-being, tugboat lighthouse metaphor, reclaiming self-worth, Dr. NatalieTakeaways:The version of you that you're most proud of may be blocking your actual life.Midlife can be an invitation to examine the mess of our lives and love it as it is.Reclaiming self-worth from the inside out is essential for true fulfillment.Sound bites:"What if I told you that the version of you that you're most proud of... is in the way of your actual life?""Today we're gonna talk about the great unlearning.""You do not need to fix yourself.

Law enforcement Explorer programs were created to mentor teens interested in policing. But decades of weak oversight created an environment where officers could manipulate that trust.

Visitmalesurvivor.orgStaying Safe in Youth Law Enforcement Programs:If you or your child is involved in a Police Explorer program – or any youth mentorship run by law enforcement – there are steps you can take to reduce risk and create safer boundaries.Ask direct questions. Who runs the program? What are the policies around texting, ride-alongs, and one-on-one interactions? Are there rules that limit contact between adult officers and minors outside of scheduled events?Insist on transparency. Reputable programs should have clear, written guidelines about communication, supervision, and conduct. Ask to see them.Monitor ride-alongs. Know who your child is riding with, how long they're gone, and what the reporting procedures are.Watch the tech. Officers or advisors should never be Snapchatting, DMing, or texting minors privately. Monitor app usage and discuss healthy boundaries.Get involved. Show up to meetings. Get to know the adults running the program. Your presence as a parent or guardian helps make the space safer for everyone.Keep communication open. Let your child know they can talk to you about anything -- especially if something makes them uncomfortable. Make it clear that they won't be in trouble for speaking up.Getting Help:If you or someone you know has experienced abuse in a Police Explorer or similar youth program, here's what to do:Believe them. If a child or teen discloses abuse, believe what they say. Stay calm, listen, and affirm that it's not their fault. Praise them for coming forward.Report it. If the child is in danger, call 911. Otherwise, contact your local police, sheriff's department, or state child protection agency. If you're concerned local police might have a conflict of interest, contact your state police, state attorney general, or the FBI.Document/preserve everything. Save messages, screenshots, call logs — anything that could help support the report.Seek emotional support: Abuse by a trusted adult is incredibly disorienting. You and/or your child deserve compassionate care from someone trained in trauma -- like a therapist, school counselor, or crisis line advocate.Connect with survivor resources. Many organizations offer specialized support for young people.Consult legal counsel: Some survivors explore civil legal action against individuals or institutions. An attorney familiar with institutional abuse cases can help assess your options.Red Flags: Signs of Grooming or Abuse in Explorer Programs:Abuse by authority figures often begins with grooming -- a gradual, often-subtle process that builds trust before violating it. Here are common warning signs in youth law enforcement programs:“Special” treatment. One teen is singled out for attention, gifts, mentorship, or exclusive opportunities not given to others.Excessive one-on-one contact. Repeated private ride-alongs, late-night messages, or invitations to hang out off-duty.Private communication. The adult uses personal texting apps, Snapchat, Instagram DMs, or other unmonitored channels to talk to a minor.Overstepping/blurring boundaries. Inappropriate compliments, jokes about relationships, or sharing personal details not appropriate for a mentor-mentee dynamic.Isolation. The adult discourages the teen from talking to others about their relationship or makes the teen feel responsible for their secrecy.Gaslighting or guilt. The adult blames the teen for misunderstandings, manipulates their emotions, or makes them feel they'll “ruin someone's life” if they speak out.Physical contact. Touch that's unnecessary, prolonged, or makes the teen uncomfortable -- even if it's framed as casual or accidental. You can learn more about The Good segment and even submit a story of your own by visiting The Good page on our website! Source materials for this episode cannot be listed here due to character limitations.

Send us a textThis week on Project Weight Loss, I'm talking about something so many of us quietly struggle with — that strange feeling of “I'm doing everything… and yet, I still feel stuck.”Whether it's with food, with our routines, or with parts of life that feel a little stagnant, this feeling shows up for all of us. And today, I'm sharing why it happens, what it really means, and how giving ourselves permission to be human can actually be the doorway to freedom.In this episode, we explore the quiet internal patterns that keep us circling the same emotions, even when our circumstances stay the same.If you've been feeling stuck, stalled, or like your inside world isn't matching the outside effort you're giving… this episode is for you, my friends.Quote of the Week:“The mind is everything. What you think, you become.” — BuddhaJoin me for this compassionate conversation — and maybe share it with someone who could use a little reminder that freedom starts within.ResourcesPurpose / GroupHotline / Contact Info988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline (suicidal thoughts, emotional distress, crisis)Call or text 988 SAMHSA+2CDC+2 (Older number, still works) National Suicide Prevention Lifeline1-800-273-TALK (1-800-273-8255) USAGov+2MentalHealth.com+2 SAMHSA's National Helpline (mental health / substance use disorders support & referral)1-800-662-HELP (4357) SAMHSA+1Crisis Text Line (if someone prefers texting instead of calling)Text HOME to 741-741 Nested Integral Coaching Constellation+1Disaster Distress Helpline (stress / trauma from disasters, emergencies)1-800-985-5990 CDC+1National Domestic Violence Hotline (support for domestic violence situations)1-800-799-SAFE (1-800-799-7233) HeadStart.gov+1National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI — information & support for mental health issues)1-800-950-NAMI (6264) CDC+1Additional Resources988Lifeline.org — chat and text support, as well as resources for crisis help.

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, we head down to Baldwin County, Alabama, to meet a man who lives by three simple words: Clean. Preserve. Protect. John Weber — owner and operator of Guardian Automotive Detailing — isn't your average detailer. By day he works fiber optics for what he calls “the Death Star,” and by night he's restoring cars, faith, and balance along the Gulf Coast. John's built a reputation for precision, professionalism, and heart — the kind that reminds us that detailing isn't just about cars, it's about people. We talk shop, family, and faith, and get honest about mental health, resilience, and the power of purpose. Then we lighten things up with the Curmudgeon's Vodka Flight — a taste-test showdown that proves even the cleanest hands can get a little dirty. So grab your drink of choice, settle in, and join us for an episode that's equal parts grit, gratitude, and good conversation.

A raw, and painfully honest conversation about mental illness, depression, and suicide. Told through my real experience. Crystal dives deep into the messy truth of what it's like to live inside your own head when it turns against you. Equal parts educational, emotional, and uncomfortably relatable, this episode sheds light on the hidden battles people fight every day… reminding you that even in the darkest moments, you're not alone.

This week on Curmudgeon's Corner, we welcome Paul Dillingham Jr., owner of Celtic Interior Shine out of Butler, PA.

What role does social media play in disordered eating and eating disorders? And how can parents spot early warning signs and have meaningful conversations about these tough topics? In this episode, host Dr. Ruston talks with Dr. Jennifer Gaudiani, a physician specializing in eating disorders for nearly two decades.  Dr. Gaudiani explains the difference between disordered eating and clinical eating disorders and how social media can fuel both. She shares concrete strategies to help parents talk with their teens, recognize early signs, and prevent problems. This episode builds on our previous conversation with Isabelle, a young woman who shared her personal journey with an eating disorder and social media's role in it.

Dr. Delaney Ruston sits down with Isabelle, a teen who bravely shares her journey from body dysmorphia to a severe eating disorder, struggles made worse by the constant stream of triggering content on platforms like TikTok.  Isabelle opens up about how social media shaped her self-perception and how therapy, hospitalization, and strong family support helped her begin to heal.

Todd found The Phoenix through an unlikely source: the Colorado Springs Drug Court. Like most, Todd had no idea what The Phoenix was at first. He also had little desire to be sober. He DID however want to stay out of jail. In recalling rock climbing at his first Phoenix event, Todd remembers realizing "Wow, that's the first time I've had a win in a really long time." Now after nearly 14 years of volunteering and working at Phoenix, he's the Regional Manager and gets to see recovery in action every day, something he could never have fathomed in early sobriety.Tune into the episode to hear Todd's story as we discuss his recovery journey, the barrier of stigma, fatherhood, and more.Discover the app that connects you with community, wellbeing, recovery organizations, and thousands of recovery events at www.newform.org.Join the Rise Recover Live Podcast Space on the NewForm mobile app and connect with our Podcast community at https://links.thephoenix.org/kSRumor5GTb.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you or a loved one is experiencing a mental health or substance use related crisis, the following resources can provide immediate help.*If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, please dial 911.- Dial 988 for the SAMSHA Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.  Available 24/7- Text “HOME” to 741-741 for the NAMI Crisis Text Line.  Available 24/7.- Dial 1-800-622-2255 to connect with a nearby treatment center & community resources through the NCADD Hope Line.

Send us a text#36: Liz and Bryce The Third are back with another snack-sized episode of Rise Recover Live, diving into a question posed by James in Tulsa, Oklahoma: "Everything is changing and I hate it. How do you deal with constant changing in life when you're in recovery?"While Liz and Bryce remind us they're only the experts of their own experiences, they offer insight into navigating life's curveballs without the old coping mechanisms. They explore how change can feel especially raw in recovery, and how community and connection can help us get through the experience.For Bryce, meaningful relationships, like his friendship with Liz, and his community help him show up, even when the rug keeps getting pulled out from under him. Liz emphasizes the importance of building trusting relationships and finding an anchor to help weather the moments when life feels out of control.Most importantly, they remind us that it's okay to admit change is hard, and you are valid in feeling that way. As Liz says, you've survived 100% of the changes so far, and that's something to be proud of.Discover the app that connects you with community, wellbeing, recovery organizations, and thousands of recovery events at www.newform.org.Join the Rise Recover Live Podcast Space on the NewForm mobile app and connect with our Podcast community at https://links.thephoenix.org/kSRumor5GTb.---------------------------------------------------------------------------------If you or a loved one is experiencing a mental health or substance use related crisis, the following resources can provide immediate help.*If you are experiencing a medical or mental health emergency, please dial 911.- Dial 988 for the SAMSHA Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.  Available 24/7- Text “HOME” to 741-741 for the NAMI Crisis Text Line.  Available 24/7.- Dial 1-800-622-2255 to connect with a nearby treatment center & community resources through the NCADD Hope Line.
