Here's what to DO with your genre once you know which one you're writing.So you know your story's genre.It's an Action story with a Worldview internal genre. Or it's a Love story with a Status internal genre. You're, like, 32% sure of it.Which is great, because you've studied story enough to know genre is important. You've heard that it shapes the foundations of your story, that it has conventions and obligatory scenes, reader expectations that you'll need to deliver on.Somehow, though, just knowing some words—Action, Worldview, Love, Status—hasn't magically solved anything. And it's not a great feeling to have studied story theory so much, and still be stuck on the application.So what now? Now that you have some language for your story's genre, what do you do with it? How do you actually use it as a revision tool?That's what I'm exploring in this episode with my friend and fellow writing coach Savannah Gilbo. Savannah is my go-to genre expert, and she shares exactly how to make genre work for you in revision.You'll hear:Why naming your genre earlier than you think can save you from endless rewritesThe 3 genre mistakes that secretly stall drafts (and how to avoid them)How to turn genre from a rigid list of “must-haves” into a flexible writing toolHow to blend multiple genres like a pro (and without getting lost)And more!Identifying your genre is a great first step. In this episode, Savannah will show you what to actually do with it once you know which one you're writing.Links mentioned in the episode:Get Savannah's guidance on your story in Notes to Novel: alicesudlow.com/notestonovel Get the Content Genre Overview: alicesudlow.com/90 Ep. 90: The 12 Core Genres That Power Every Great StoryThe Notes to Novel link is an affiliate link.

Last week, I shared an interactive episode about people-pleasing and lying—today, we're continuing the conversation. In this episode, I offer an approach that is based not on the morality of telling the truth, but on your values and human need for safety.

Here's what I cover:How good-girl programming wires us to lie in order to please and avoid conflictThe huge role that the nervous system plays in why we lieWhen lying can still be a necessary and useful toolHow we separate children from the truth of their bodies and punish them for honestyWhy protecting yourself is not the same as deceiving someone elseHow to build more honesty in your life one relationship at a timeFind Sara here:https://sarafisk.coachhttps://pages.sarafisk.coach/difficultconversationshttps://www.instagram.com/sarafiskcoach/https://www.facebook.com/SaraFiskCoaching/https://www.tiktok.com/@sarafiskcoachhttps://www.youtube.com/@sarafiskcoaching1333What happens inside the free Stop People Pleasing Facebook Community?

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is one of the most effective therapeutic models to help people move through negative emotion and create long term change in the way they think, feel and behave in their lives. Today, I'm showing you how you can use the powerful concepts behind Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in parenting.You'll Learn:Why Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is such a powerful toolHow your thoughts affect the way you show up as a parentHow to feel less triggered by your kid's behaviorSome of my favorite tools and strategies for seeing your child in a more positive lightA big part of CALM (the first step in my 4-step Calm Mama Process) is calming yourself when your nervous system gets activated. But I want to take it a step further. I want to help you learn how to not get activated in the first place. Imagine if you were able to stay in your calm state of mind and not get triggered by your kid's behavior. How cool would that be?! ---------------------------What is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy?Cognitive (or cognition) is just a fancy word for thinking. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches strategies to think differently so that you act differently. It was created in the 1960s by a psychiatrist named Aaron Beck when he realized that there are three separate parts of cognition. Automatic thoughts - Default thoughts that come from how we were raised and what we've learned from societyCognitive distortions - “Thought errors” where our thoughts can be extreme or untrueUnderlying beliefs - Core beliefs we have about ourselves and the world, which guide our point of view but may or may not be true for usCBT invites you to examine your thinking so that your beliefs help you show up the way you want to. The coaching model that I use is based in cognitive behavior therapy. The idea is that something happens (a circumstance) >> I have a thought about what happened >> That thought creates a feeling >> I act on that feeling. Basically, your thoughts and feelings create how you show up for your kid (and the rest of your life). I don't know about you, but I want to show up as a parent that feels confident and hopeful for my children. I want them to be able to borrow my belief in them when they're struggling to believe in themselves. This is possible for all of us, but there are some patterns that might get in your way. Common Thought Errors in ParentingThere are several common ways we can get caught up in thought errors or cognitive distortions. Negative thought bias. A viewpoint that the world is not so great. My kid's behavior isn't good. That's just the way it is. You expect that things will go wrong.Whether you have a positive or negative outlook, no matter what thoughts you are thinking, your brain will find evidence to prove you right. Some people naturally have a more negative outlook, while others will have an easier time thinking more positively. Either way, you can train your brain to look for the good more often. Black-and-white thinking. Viewing a behavior or your kid as good OR bad. Watch for all-or-nothing or extreme kinds of thoughts. Try to notice what is actually happening right now without projecting it into the past or future. Focusing on the negative more than the positive. Let's say you went on a family vacation that was mostly good, but there were a few negative experiences. When a friend asks you how your trip was, will you say it was mostly good or that it was a disaster? If you...

In this episode of The PODdoctors podcast, Dr. Damien Dauphinee, a board-certified foot and ankle surgeon, and Dr. Raafae Hussain, a fellowship-trained foot and ankle surgeon, cover the intricacies and surgical treatment of fibular nerve release, a crucial procedure for patients experiencing various complications often associated with nerve entrapments in the lower limbs. They discuss the nitty-gritty of podiatric surgery, specifically the peroneal, or technically the fibular nerve, and its susceptibility to injury or entrapment. Doctors Dauphine and Hussein then discuss the surgical nuances of nerve release, providing critical insights into how such procedures substantially improve patient outcomes.Quotes"Nerve flossing is a really great technique. We'll get folks into the physical therapists and have them start nerve-flossing as quickly as we can. Usually, right after we get the stitches out at two weeks.” -Dr. Raafae Hussain“You've got to always keep in mind that when patients are complaining of burning, stabbing, shooting pain, tightness at nighttime, that is nerve-related pain for sure.” -Dr. Damien DauphineeTop Takeaways:Fibular nerve release is improving patient outcomes, with modern technology playing a pivotal role.Detailed nerve anatomy understanding and careful surgical techniques are essential for the successful treatment of the fibular nerve and its branches.The surgical approach to decompressing the fibular nerve involves meticulous dissection Diagnostic blocks are a helpful tool in identifying specific nerve entrapments that could contribute to conditions like restless leg syndrome (RLS).Nerve flossing is crucial to prevent adhesions and maintain nerve health.What You Will Learn:Surgical procedures to address nerve entrapmentUsing diagnostic blocks as a toolHow the application of protective materials like umbilical cord tissue prevent scarring and promote healingPostoperative care that encourages movementResources:Visit our website: https://thepoddoctors.com/
