Who are you now? And why does motherhood feel like it's quietly rewritten you? Today's Motherkind Moment is with the incredible Michelle Kennedy, founder of Peanut, who has just launched the powerful “Make Matrescence Mainstream” campaign. Zoe was proud to be part of this campaign and truly encourages you to look it up, watch it, and sit with it. Because matrescence, the profound identity shift we go through when we become mothers, is still something we don't talk about nearly enough. In this short but powerful clip, Zoe asks Michelle how her identity changed across her two matrescence experiences. What Michelle shares might surprise you. She speaks honestly about not knowing who she was after her first baby. She knew Michelle the professional. Michelle, the friend. Michelle, the daughter. But she didn't yet know Michelle the mum. She shares how clarity didn't arrive overnight; it evolved slowly. How motherhood became the best chapter of her life, but not the only chapter. And how realising she is multifaceted changed everything. They also explore trade-offs. The myth of “doing it all.” Why filling your own glass first isn't selfish — it's necessary. And why something as simple as a 20-minute shower can be the most humanising act in early motherhood. If you've ever felt like you've lost yourself… If you've wondered why this transition feels so seismic… If you've felt guilty for wanting space, ambition, rest or boundaries… This conversation is for you. However, your matrescence has unfolded, whether it felt joyful, destabilising, lonely, clarifying, or all of the above, you are not alone. In this Moment, you'll hear: Why it's completely normal to feel like you “lose yourself” after becoming a mother How matrescence reshapes your identity over time, not overnight Why motherhood can be the most powerful chapter of your life without being the only chapter. How protecting small, non-negotiable moments for yourself is not selfish — it's foundational.

"We print education sheets that we have, and we say, 'Just ignore this part that says cancer. You're getting this med but for a different indication.' And then you have to really point out what our goals of care are. You're using the information that, as oncology nurses, we like and love, but we're having to cross it out and say, 'Just read this portion and just do this here.' And that can be challenging for the nurse and probably confusing for the patient," ONS member Brandy Thornberry, RN, OCN®, outpatient infusion and VAD supervisor at Logan Health in Kalispell, MT, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about education for patients receiving antineoplastic drugs for non-oncology indications. Taylor also spoke with ONS members Lizzy McMahon, BSN, RN, OCN®, and Jennifer Lynch, BSN, RN, TCTCN™, about general antineoplastic treatment education and tailoring education in the stem cell transplantation setting.

Highlights From This Episode McMahon: "A great question would be to ask the patient what they already know and what they're most concerned about or what their biggest questions are. This way, the nurse can tailor their education to make sure to focus on what the patient doesn't know yet and what they're most concerned about, while still touching on all the required education topics. … It's also important for nurses to continually be assessing the patient's readiness to learn throughout the education session, looking for nonverbal cues or verbal signs that the patient is overwhelmed or anxious because this is going to interfere with their ability to take in new information." TS 3:49 Thornberry: "A lot of the education sheets and the products for them explain it like, 'This is cancer,' and more of an oncology perspective, so occasionally [non-oncology patients] can show up and be confused by it. I do feel like they come a little bit less prepared than our oncology patients. Our rheumatologists and neurologists, they sure try, but they just don't have the support in that realm either. They're full of every question you can imagine. They've never been to an infusion room. They don't know what to bring. Can they drink water and have their meds beforehand? It's a full gamut of really preparing them to get these for autoimmune or rheumatology-type issues." TS 14:12 Lynch: "I really want to spend time with those patients to make sure that we are not assuming that they are coming to us with any knowledge or experience. I want them to be able to come to us with questions and trust their healthcare team and really sit down with them and say, 'Okay, you don't have cancer, but we're using the word chemotherapy where we're talking about cancer drugs.'… And we're going to probably spend more time going over some of the basics about blood stem cells, types of cells that they grow into, how your body fights infection, what they're going to be at risk for. The side effects can be pretty scary when you're talking about them, especially back to back. So making sure that we are delivering the information that doesn't put them in a panic mode… A lot of reassurance, as well, and just taking into consideration that, yes, this might have this whole other layer of anxiety to it because of the unknown." TS 32:22
What if “manifesting” isn't about vision boards and wishful thinking… but about brave, uncomfortable action? In this deeply personal solo episode, Zoe shares - for the first time - how she built Motherkind and manifested her dream career alongside early motherhood Not through magic.Not through overnight success.But through clarity, courage and trusting the nudges. Zoe breaks down the three-part framework that changed everything for her: How to get clear on what you actually want (even if all you know is what you don't want) Why tiny, 1% brave steps build unstoppable momentum The truth about “paralleling” careers and why most transitions aren't dramatic leaps What it really means to “trust the process” - and how to spot the breadcrumbs She shares the uncomfortable early days: buying a £50 microphone from Currys, consulting with clients to fund the dream, working late nights with a baby waking at 4 am, and the moments of flow that signalled she was on the right path If you're sitting in a career that feels fine but not fulfilling…If you have an idea you can't quite shake…If you're wondering whether it's too late, too risky, too unrealistic… This episode is your permission slip. Motherhood doesn't end ambition.It can clarify it. Know what you want.Take one small brave step.Trust what flows.

Are you in the seat that God is calling you to? In this episode, Jeff and Kyle discuss: Living with curiosity and open communication. Generosity in influence. Learning and living in both the 1st and 2nd generation seats of organizations. Tapping into your emotional side. Key Takeaways: The family story is made up of 4 Ts, not 3: time, talent, treasure, and testimony. Write for your family alone. What do you want them to know and to carry forward? We must invest in the rising generation. Consider walking through the succession and transfer of influence sooner than you think. This can help to break the negative cycles that we may not even see. The focus of the family needs to come through the spirit. Get out of your head, and feel what God wants you to know and to do. "I'm talking about doing something that taps into this softer, emotional feeling side that at first feels very uncomfortable, but I believe the Holy Spirit will speak through it in ways that are unimaginable and are uniquely gifted to unleash something that is God-breathed." — Kyle Circle Episode References: Gospel Patrons: People Whose Generosity Changed the World by John Rinehart About Kyle Circle: Kyle is from a 19-generation farming family and was born into the largest 1st Gen strawberry farming family in the U.S., now in the wine business in the Central Coast of CA. They sold a 500-acre vineyard to the Gallos in 2018 and another 440 acres to Cupcake. Today, they're the largest grower for Joel Gott and Austin Hope in Santa Ynez and Paso in the Central Coast of California, with hundreds of acres of premium vineyards. The family history can be summed up as high-tech thinking in a low-tech industry, like agriculture. Today, the family holds various classes of real estate. This led him to start his 1st business when he was 11 years old, today owning land/vineyard, commercial, industrial & residential properties. He ended up having a 15-year professional music career where he played drums for Katy Perry. He did A&R, having found Francesca Battistelli getting her record deal, and managed a half dozen artists until 2010. His last artist was Nate Smith, who now has 3 #1 country singles and has been out with Morgan Wallen all last year and been out with Jason Aldean. Kyle was featured in Robert Frank's 2007 New York Times best-selling book, “Richistan: A Journey Through the American Wealth Boom and the Lives of the New Rich,” in Chapter 11 titled Astrokids. Robert was the Senior Editor of the Wall Street Journal's “The Wealth Report” for 18 years, is now the CNBC Wealth Editor, and has been hosting Inside Wealth since 2012. In 2005, along with a small group, co-created YPONextGen (now called YNG for raising the next generation of YPO/YPO Gold), which Kyle was part of for 7 years before joining EO (Entrepreneurs Organization) for 7 years, where he was also on the local board. There is now a YNG chapter in every major city in the world. He's always been a serial entrepreneur with a deep heart for pastors! Having chaired the national board for standingstoneministry.org for 4 yrs, on the board for 7 yrs, 2017-2021, and walked the founders through succession planning, which opened his eyes to how closely related the rich younger ruler and pastors and ministry leaders and their families were.

There's a quiet moment after you become a mum where you realise your life will never look the same again and neither will your career. In this Motherkind Moment, Zoe Blaskey is joined by Helen Tupper and Sarah Ellis, co-founders of Squiggly Careers, bestselling authors, and two of the UK's leading voices on modern careers, learning and development. Together, they explore the reality so many mothers quietly hold: how becoming a parent doesn't switch off your drive – but it does force you to make sense of it. They talk about the idea of a squiggly career, and why motherhood often accelerates that squiggle. There's a clear before and after when you become a mum, and suddenly your life, priorities and decisions can't look the same as they did before. But that doesn't mean you stop wanting to grow, achieve, or do meaningful work. This Moment speaks directly to the judgment many working mothers experience – the head tilt, the comments, the unspoken assumptions about what you should want after having children. Zoe, Helen and Sarah talk honestly about returning to work by choice, feeling judged for it, and learning to make intentional decisions that work for you, even when they look different to everyone else's. At the heart of the conversation is the power of values, not as a buzzword, but as a practical filter for navigating motherhood, work and identity. When you know what truly drives you, you can make choices with more confidence and less guilt, even in a season that's noisy, exhausting and full of comparison. This Moment is a reminder that there is no one right way to do motherhood or ambition, only what works for you. In this Moment, they explore: Why motherhood often makes careers feel more “squiggly” How ambition can stay alive after becoming a mother Using values to make confident, intentional decisions If you've ever felt judged for what you want after having children or are unsure how to honour both your ambition and your family, this Moment is for you.

This episode of Horror Joy turns to academic horror through Mariama Diallo's 2022 film Master, set at the fictional elite Ancaster University. Our discussion treats the film's central claim that what haunts is not the past but the present and future: racism, microaggressions, elitism, and the suffocating atmosphere of tradition. We welcome returning guest T (S. Trimble Associate Professor of Women and Gender Studies at the University of Toronto) and first-time guest Joe Vallese (NYU faculty fellow, expository writing), editor of It Came From the Closet: Queer Reflections on Horror.The conversation then unpacks Master's slow-burn dread: Gail Bishop (Regina Hall), the newly appointed first Black master; Jasmine, a first-year Black student; and Liv, a professor up for tenure, all navigating both explicit racism and subtler academic violence. We discuss the Scarlet Letter as a canonical text used to police interpretation and power in the classroom, including Jasmine's failing grade and the gaslighting embedded in academic evaluation.

"Because the premise of immune checkpoint blockade centers around elevating the immune function, we should always take a great deal of caution around those patients who have high immune risks. Those include patients with autoimmune disorders. That's one of our biggest questions that we ask, usually every consult that we're seeing with solid tumor. 'Do you have any history of autoimmune disorders? Tell me a little bit more about it. Is it being treated? What are your symptoms like?' And then also patients who have undergone organ transplants. Now, interestingly, this does include stem cell transplants," Kelsey Finch, PharmD, BCOP, oncology pharmacist practitioner at Columbus Regional Health in Indiana, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about checkpoint inhibitors.

Highlights From This Episode "Before immune checkpoint blockade, the two-year overall survival rate in metastatic melanoma was hovering around 10%. After these agents came to market, depending on the trial and the agents used, that number actually increased to about 50%–65%. So, five times the amount of patients were actually living at the two-year mark. Not surprisingly, studies then exploded across several tumor types, leading to approvals in all sorts of cancers, mostly in the solid tumor. But there are a couple hematologic as well. Lung cancer, kidney cancer, head and neck, Hodgkin lymphoma, hepatocellular, the list goes on. So, it's really just transforming the stage IV setting across all tumors, specifically from uniformly fatal prognosis to one where durable responses and long-term survival is also possible." TS 3:03 "There are four different mechanisms officially being used in therapies that are approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). Those are cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated protein 4, programmed cell death protein 1, and programmed cell death ligand 1, which I'm counting as two different mechanisms, even though they somewhat work together. And lymphocyte-activation gene 3 is the fourth one that's in there. So, all these mechanisms impact the T cell in our immune system. The T cell is traditionally responsible for protecting our body from harmful things like bacteria, viruses, and cancer. When the tumor binds to cytotoxic T-lymphocyte–associated protein 4 receptors, that happens on the T cell itself. And that inhibits the activation of the T cells, essentially allowing that tumor to then live. So when developing medications that block this receptor, they noted an added benefit that it actually increased the T-cell proliferation as well as keeping that T cell active. So not only are we not blocking the T cells, we're making them more productive." TS 5:38 "If you have a chance of any sort of tissue rejection, specifically with allogeneic stem cell transplants or where we see that focusing on it, there's a little bit of controversy, mixed bag on opinions as far as autologous stem cell transplants. But it's best to at least exercise a little bit of caution. If they have a chance of organ rejection, is that worth the risk of the therapy that we're looking to give? And then, patients with HIV, any sort of immunologic concerns at baseline that we could potentially worsen." TS 14:37 "As a rule of thumb, with immune checkpoint blockade, regardless of what mechanism you're looking at, if something in your body can get inflamed, that can wind up as an adverse event. So, whenever I talk to my patients, the key word is anything ending in '-itis.' ... The most common adverse events that we end up seeing are dermatitis and hypothyroidism. Immune checkpoint blockade can cause both hyper- and hypothyroidism. Very often, we actually start in the hyper- and then end up, for lack of better words, burning out the thyroid, ultimately leading to a sustained hypothyroidism." TS 18:34 "The half-life of immune checkpoint inhibitors is usually around 30 days, meaning that once these agents are given, the drug will be in the patient's system for up to five months. Specifically, it will probably build month to month, so often we don't even see a lot of our adverse events until month three or four. Usually, when we're that far into treatment, we're not looking for new adverse events in things like chemotherapy. But these drugs do build over time." TS 24:28 "As far as safe handling is concerned, these agents are not chemotherapy. That makes drug compounding and administration pretty straightforward. When looking at the follow-up care, the most important thing, in my opinion, is to engage in meaningful dialogue with your patients. A lot of the side effects can be nonspecific. So, really listening to the patient and evaluating changes in their lifestyle, I think it'll get you far. We usually hark in on the new, worsening, or persistent whenever we're talking to patients because they'll be looking for things as well. So, just having a dialogue of how their life has changed can certainly help." TS 26:17
Episode OverviewIn this episode of The Articulate Fly podcast, host Marvin Cash catches up with master casting instructor Mac Brown for another installment of Casting Angles — a recurring segment dedicated to fly casting education and the business of fly fishing instruction. Recorded just after Mac returned from back-to-back appearances at the Denver and Bellevue stops of the Fly Fishing Show, the conversation covers his experience on the road, a spontaneous three-day steelhead spey fishing trip squeezed between shows and what's ahead on the Fly Fishing Show calendar. Mac and Marvin dig into the practical value of two-handed casting techniques on single-handed rods — particularly for tight Appalachian streams and summertime smallmouth fishing on rivers like the Little Tennessee, Pigeon and Tuckaseegee. Mac makes a compelling case that mastering the roll cast and a module of switch/spey casts (snake roll, snap T, snap C, Z cast, A cast) transforms an angler's ability to present flies on any water, not just big steelhead rivers. The episode wraps with late-winter fishing observations, a teaser about the upcoming Lancaster Fly Fishing Show and a reminder that Mac's guide schools, casting schools and specialty classes are bookable on his website.Key TakeawaysHow to expand your presentation options on tight Appalachian streams by adding spey and switch casts to your single-handed rod repertoire.Why the roll cast is the essential foundation of all two-handed casting, and why building it first unlocks the entire spey/switch toolkit.How to use two-handed delivery moves — snake rolls, snap Ts, Z casts and others — for summertime smallmouth fishing.When to capitalize on late-winter warmup windows by monitoring water temperatures, even when air temps feel comfortable for trout fishing.Why fishing from the tail of a long pool with two-handed casting techniques gives you a longer drift, better positioning and keeps big fish unaware of your presence.Techniques & Gear CoveredMac Brown covers the full spectrum of spey and switch casting moves applicable to single-handed rods, including the roll cast, snake roll, snap T, snap C, Z cast and A cast — what he describes as a "module of eight or nine" setup-and-deliver sequences that, once internalized, become intuitive rather than mechanical. A key theme is translating techniques typically practiced on grass into real fishing scenarios: managing 50–60 feet of shooting line in your fingers, reading pool geometry and making decisions about river-left vs. river-right presentations coming out of winter. Mac also references the two-day and three-day specialty casting schools he runs throughout the season — focused formats on wet fly and dry fly specifically — available through his website under specialty classes. No specific fly patterns or rod brands are mentioned in this episode, keeping the focus squarely on casting mechanics and tactical decision-making.Locations & SpeciesThe episode references several western North Carolina rivers as prime proving grounds for switch and spey techniques on single-handed rods,...

Sheriff Brian Patterson steps away from the badge and into the microphone full time as Sasquatch Odyssey explodes beyond anything he ever imagined. Part Five picks up with the podcast in full swing, and the witnesses are lining up from every corner of the South and beyond to finally tell the stories they have been carrying in silence for decades.It starts in the mountains of northeast Georgia with a seventy-three-year-old retired logger named Earl Hutchins, a man who kept his mouth shut for forty-five years about what stepped out of the timber near Clayton in the fall of nineteen seventy-eight. His story breaks something open.The emails start flooding in from across the region, and Patterson finds himself recording encounter after encounter from witnesses who never had anyone willing to listen. A retired schoolteacher from Ellijay describes the thing that came screaming out of the Chattahoochee National Forest and changed the way she felt about the woods forever. A fishing guide from Everglades City recounts the night a pair of glowing eyes tracked him across the water in the Ten Thousand Islands. A teenage girl in Oconee County, South Carolina watched something unfold from a rhododendron thicket while her daddy's bluetick hound shook itself half to death against her leg.The stories stretch across state lines and keep coming. Arkansas. Tennessee. Virginia. A coon hunter and his cousin tree something in the Ouachitas that no lantern light should ever have revealed. A family of four flees a Cherokee National Forest campsite at three in the morning. A state trooper on Skyline Drive watches something cross a two-lane highway in three strides and never tells a soul.Then the podcast goes national and the picture gets bigger. A Lummi Nation elder speaks of the Ts'emekwes his people have known for thousands of years. A woman in the Hocking Hills of Ohio locks eyes with something standing between the trees in broad daylight and never hikes again. From Louisiana to Alaska to Hawaii, the encounters pile up, and Patterson starts to understand that this is not a regional phenomenon. It is everywhere. When the show crosses international borders, the scope becomes staggering. A First Nations man from British Columbia reminds the world that his people gave us the word Sasquatch in the first place. A Russian researcher describes a shape moving through snow in the Pamir Mountains. An Australian prospector watches something vanish from a waterhole in the outback. Sherpas in Nepal, scientists in China, guides in the Amazon — every culture, every continent, every corner of the wild world has a name for what lives in the places humans do not go. But it is the deep encounters that change everything. A hospice nurse in rural Kentucky describes the night something appeared at her dying husband's window and hummed him into his final moment of peace. A lost hiker in the Gila Wilderness receives images in her mind that lead her back to safety. A former Army Ranger wakes paralyzed in the Big Thicket while something rifles through his thoughts like pages in a book. These are the stories that keep Patterson up at night and force him to ask whether these creatures are something far stranger and far more profound than anyone has been willing to consider. By the end of Part Five, Patterson is two years into full-time podcasting with over three hundred interviews behind him and patterns emerging from the noise. The creatures follow corridors. They move with the seasons.They choose when to be seen. And a small but undeniable percentage of encounters suggest something beyond biology, beyond what any scientific framework can currently explain. The podcast has crossed a million downloads. The community is growing. The world is slowly waking up. And somewhere out in the deep woods, something is watching back.Email BrianGet Our FREE NewsletterGet Brian's Books Leave Us A VoicemailVisit Our WebsiteBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/sasquatch-odyssey--4839697/support.
Dr. Nicholas Nelson discusses the importance of listening to and understanding the body's natural healing processes, emphasizing the need to shift from external fixes to internal healing. Dr. Nelson highlights the body's inherent intelligence and the importance of breaking free from conditioning that leads to seeking quick fixes. The episode concludes with Dr. Nelson emphasizing the empowerment that comes from self-education and the need for a reconstructive approach to the healthcare system.Key takeawaysThe body has innate intelligence and healing capabilities that we should trust rather than overrideWestern medicine often pathologizes symptoms instead of understanding them as communication from the bodyHealth requires understanding the "three Ts": thoughts, traumas, and toxins that affect our wellbeingSeasonal illnesses may be the body's natural way of recalibrating to environmental changesLearning about how our bodies work empowers us to take control of our health rather than outsourcing itSmall, consistent changes can lead to significant health improvements over timeA holistic approach to health includes physical, emotional, mental, and spiritual aspectsDr. Nicholas James Nelson is a researcher, speaker, and emerging thought leader who's quietly challenging the way we've been taught to think about the human body. After more than a decade of research, he's developed two original theories that bridge science, consciousness, and lived human experience, work that now forms the foundation of his new book, Inner Alchemy.

What if staying on top of home life didn't require doing more, but doing a few small things consistently? In this Motherkind Moment, Zoeis joined by Ingrid Jansen, co-founder of The Declutter Hub, to talk about daily resets and non-negotiables – a simple, realistic way to stop life at home from constantly tipping into overwhelm. Ingrid shares why having a handful of everyday tasks that always get done – like clearing the sink, loading the dishwasher, or running one load of laundry – can completely change how your home feels. Not because everything is perfect, but because you're no longer starting each day already behind. They talk about how short, regular resets (just 10–15 minutes, once or twice a day) can support tired mums, especially in busy seasons where decision fatigue is high, and energy is low. This isn't about rigid routines or unrealistic standards – it's about doing small things that make life feel calmer for your future self. The conversation also explores toys, clutter, and the mental load of “stuff” – from organising play spaces in age-appropriate ways, to decluttering gently over time, to managing the constant influx of gifts. Ingrid shares why less really can be more for both children and parents, and how involving kids (and partners) builds shared responsibility rather than burnout. This is a compassionate, practical conversation for any mother who feels overwhelmed by the never-ending to-do list – and wants things to feel just a little lighter. In this Moment, they explore: Daily resets and non-negotiables that reduce overwhelm Why small, consistent habits help your future self Toys, clutter, and creating calmer spaces at home If you've ever thought, “I just want things to feel more manageable,” this Moment is for you.

"It's important to clarify that most patients will experience and at least some side effects—and often several. So prevention really means reducing severity, complications, and long-term impact rather than avoiding side effects altogether. This process starts before radiation begins and continues throughout the treatment and includes dental evaluation, baseline swallowing assessments, and thorough patient education," ONS member Astrid Amoresano, RN, OCN®, lead oncology nurse specialist at New York Proton Center in New York, NY, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about side effects of radiation for head and neck cancer.

Highlights From This Episode "Many tumors in the region are very radiosensitive, and radiation can be used either as definitive treatment or after surgery to reduce the risk of reoccurrence, but in many cases, radiation is combined with chemotherapy to improve local control. Because so many vital structures are located in this small complex area, radiation allows us to treat the cancer while minimizing the need for extensive or disfiguring surgery." TS 2:40 "The most common acute side effects of head and neck radiation: effects to the mouth, the throat, the skin, and the energy level. Patients often experience a mucositis, pain or sore throat, difficulty swallowing, dry mouth, or thick saliva, and taste changes. Skin irritation and redness in the treatment field is also common and can progress to dry and moist desquamation. Fatigue is another frequent side effect and tends to build as treatment progresses. Emotional and psychological distress are also very common in this patient population and can have an impact on daily function and quality of life. Side effects usually develop gradually, often beginning in the second and third week of radiation and may be more severe or have an earlier onset in patients receiving concurrent chemotherapy." TS 4:02 "Pain management is essential so patients can continue eating and drinking. Supporting the energy level and maintaining hydration are also key, as fatigue and dehydration can significantly worsen other side effects. Oral care protocols help manage mucositis and nutrition support may include supplements or enteral feeding if needed." TS 11:24 "Sexual health might not be the first thing nurses think of in regard to head and neck radiation. … But even though radiation for head and neck cancer doesn't involve the reproductive organs, it can still have a significant impact on sexual health and intimacy. Like fatigue, pain, dry mouth, changes in speech and visible changes in appearance can all affect body image and relationships." TS 14:52 "One of the common misconceptions is that side effects end when radiation ends. In reality, some effects peak afterward or become long term. Xerostomia, or dry mouth, and taste changes are good examples. While some patients improve, others adjust to a new normal where dry mouth and altered taste are permanent." TS 19:53
Default parenting doesn't start with a conversation – it creeps in quietly, until one day you realise you're carrying the mental load, the guilt and the responsibility almost entirely alone. In this powerful Motherkind moment, Zoe is joined by Lou Beckett, author of The Default Parent, to name something so many mothers feel but rarely have language for. Together, they unpack the emotional, physical and invisible weight of being the default parent – the one who carries the responsibility, the mental load, and the constant background hum of guilt. Lou shares the moments that pushed her to write the book, the research that confirmed it's not “just you”, and why so many women feel lost in motherhood even when they're doing an incredible job. This is an honest, funny, rage-inducing and deeply validating conversation for anyone who's ever felt unseen in the day-to-day reality of parenting – and especially for those who are carrying more than their fair share. In this conversation, you'll learn: Why becoming the “default parent” often happens quietly – and why it's so hard to undo once it's set The invisible labour of motherhood, and why it's exhausting even when you “have support” How guilt, comparison and unrealistic expectations keep mothers stuck – and how to start letting them go If you've ever thought, “Why does this feel so hard when everyone else seems to cope?” – this conversation is for you.

In this Motherkind Moment, Zoe Blaskey is joined by broadcaster and journalist Emma Barnett for a deeply honest conversation about early motherhood, identity, and what really happens to us when we become mothers. Emma shares the reframe that changed everything for her: moving from the idea of maternity leave to maternity service. A season where you are always on call, constantly adapting, sacrificing parts of yourself, and often expected to carry on without much language for how profound that experience really is. Together, Zoe and Emma talk about those early months – the walking, the exhaustion, the heatwaves, the survival mode – and the surprising way creativity can sometimes re-emerge in the middle of it all. Not because motherhood is easy, or beautiful, or calm – but because so much else has been stripped back. They explore the tension so many mothers feel: how maternity can be deeply depleting and, at the same time, quietly expansive. How there can be grief for who you were, uncertainty about who you're becoming, and moments of clarity that feel almost shocking when you're in the trenches. This is also a conversation about what we're missing culturally – the lack of space, language and stories for matrescence. Not parenting advice. Not baby manuals. But an honest reflection on the inner shift of becoming a mother. Because motherhood doesn't just add something to your life. It changes you. In this Moment, they explore: Reframing maternity leave as maternity service Creativity, identity and thinking again in early motherhood The loss, rebirth and in-between space of matrescence If you've ever felt changed by motherhood in ways you couldn't quite explain, this Moment is for you.

Send us a textThe Bums are back in the rail yard with S6:E0146, a pre-Super Bowl extravaganza of NFL updates and premonitions; the case is made for “taking the fucking points” (and responsible use of data & analytics); NFL head coaching changes are reviewed (our O/U of 5.5 was not close); the Steelers are very “unSteelery”; the NFL HoF committee inexplicably snubs Coach Belichick (make it make sense); College Athletics is a dead man walking Harvard Business case in what not to do; FSU and Rutgers are deep in the red; and the Bums are in awe of Lindsey Vonn.The second half buckles down with another infamous beer review, featuring Lyon, IL's BuckleDown Brewing and their “Crackle and Pop” (ABV 6.0%) winter brown ale that presents like a barrel-aged stout by drinks like an ale (delish); a very limited preview of cinema's own Super Bowl, and associated nominees— the Oscar's; McDonald's has lost it's mind with a special freebie stunt; latest RIP alum features beloved actress Catherine “reverse heart” O'Hara and actor Demond “Lamont” Wilson; Ts & Ps to Savannah Guthrie and family (as the search for MIA mom continues); Paddy and daughter take on the Big Apple's largest borough; and close with a shout-out to Prime Video's ‘The Night Manager — Season 2' (a decade late). Get some and catch up before SB LV kicks off!Recorded on February 5th, 2026 at B.O.M.'s global headquarters ‘East Bunker' in Chicago, IL USA.
"You also want to deal with patient preferences. We do want to get their disease under control. We want to make them live a long, good quality of life. But do they want to come to the clinic once a week? Is it a far distance? Is geography a problem? Do they prefer not taking oral chemotherapies at home? We have to think about what the patient's preferences are to some degree and kind of incorporate that in our decision-making plan for treatments for relapsed and refractory myeloma," Ann McNeill, RN, MSN, APN, nurse practitioner at the John Theurer Cancer Center at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, NJ, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about multiple myeloma treatment considerations.

Highlights From This Episode "Typically for our first-line therapies, we use certain classes of drugs and some of them are proteasome inhibitors like bortezomib and carfilzomib. We also have IMiDs or immunomodulatory agents like thalidomide, lenalidomide, and pomalidomide. We have monoclonal antibodies, anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies. Of course, we can never talk about treatment for myeloma without mentioning dexamethasone. It is an integral part of our treatment regimen. Most of our frontline therapies now are not just a single agent. They're not even doublets anymore. Typically, they're triplet therapies. And now in 2026, it's leaning more toward quadruplet therapies. By that, I mean you're taking a proteasome inhibitor, an immunomodulatory drug, dexamethasone, and an anti-CD38 monoclonal antibody all together to present patients with a good chance their induction therapy will lead to a good chance of them responding to treatment." TS 4:25 "[With] myeloma labs, there should be some indication after each cycle of therapy that the treatment is working. So, you don't have to do a whole myeloma panel, but maybe getting a monoclonal protein spike, maybe getting a free light chain assay, or maybe an immunoglobulin G or immunoglobulin A level, just to see if the treatment is working. So, those labs are crucial to determine whether the therapies are working. And again, the lab improvements usually correlate with the clinical presentation of the patient." TS 11:01 "There are active clinical trials ongoing with drugs like cell mods. Cell mods are the new oral anticancer agents for myeloma that have shown great promise with efficacy and safety profiles. And then there are other combinations that are showing a lot of promise. So, drugs that are already approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). And I'm talking about pairing anti-CD38 monoclonal antibodies with bispecific T-cell engagers. If you do that, there has been some evidence that these combinations are very efficacious and responses are durable. And there are ongoing clinical trials and studies being done right now to see if these can be FDA-approved to pinpoint where they are as far as in comparison to other treatments." TS 20:10 "I always tell patients to try to participate in safe, and I want to stress safe, physical activity. So, I tell patients, the more you sit on the couch or you sit in the chair for most of the day, that unfortunately will make your pain worse. So, trying to get up and about and doing some physical activity, such as getting a physical therapy evaluation and a treatment program, no matter how passive or mild or gentle it is, can really help these patients with bone pain." TS 26:10 "I think it's important to realize that myeloma has had amazing advances in science, research and treatments. I think that all of these things coming together, all the science and clinical trials and everything like that, has led to a significant increase in overall survival of our patients, which ultimately is a great thing. We want patients to live longer and they're living longer with a very good quality of life. So, I think it's important to realize that myeloma is very well studied, very well researched, and it's still ongoing with many, many clinical trials." TS 36:04

What if motherhood wasn't meant to be this hard – or this lonely? In this episode of Motherkind, Zoe is joined by journalist and bestselling author Helen Russell to explore how culture shapes the way we experience motherhood. After becoming a mother in Denmark, Helen shares how living in a Nordic system gave her “permission to live differently” – with more rest, trust, parental support and far less guilt. Together, Zoe and Helen unpack why so many mothers in the UK feel under pressure to cope alone, and how much of that is cultural rather than personal. In this conversation, we explore: Why vulnerability in motherhood is normal – not a failure How parental leave, childcare and systems reduce guilt and burnout What Denmark gets right about raising children and supporting mothers Why happiness doesn't mean feeling good all the time The power of community during big life transitions This episode is a gentle but powerful reminder that if motherhood feels overwhelming, it's not because you're doing it wrong – it's because you were never meant to do it alone.

Have you ever felt like you're trying so hard to be a good mum… but somehow it still never feels like enough? In this Moment, Zoe talks about good girl conditioning – the deeply ingrained beliefs many of us carry into motherhood without realising it. The need to be agreeable, to keep the peace, to over-give, and to measure our worth by how much we do. When these patterns come into motherhood, they don't disappear – they intensify. Suddenly, we're not just trying to be a good girl, we're trying to be a perfect mum. And that can leave us exhausted, resentful, and disconnected from ourselves. This episode is about recognising that there is nothing wrong with you. These are learned behaviours – and they can be unlearned. In this Moment, we explore: What good girl conditioning is – and how it shows up in motherhood Why people-pleasing and perfectionism lead to burnout, not fulfilment How meeting your own needs and setting boundaries creates real confidence If you've ever felt burnt out from trying to be everything to everyone, this one's for you.

Sheriff Brian Patterson steps away from the badge and into the microphone full time as Sasquatch Odyssey explodes beyond anything he ever imagined. Part Five picks up with the podcast in full swing, and the witnesses are lining up from every corner of the South and beyond to finally tell the stories they have been carrying in silence for decades.It starts in the mountains of northeast Georgia with a seventy-three-year-old retired logger named Earl Hutchins, a man who kept his mouth shut for forty-five years about what stepped out of the timber near Clayton in the fall of nineteen seventy-eight. His story breaks something open.The emails start flooding in from across the region, and Patterson finds himself recording encounter after encounter from witnesses who never had anyone willing to listen. A retired schoolteacher from Ellijay describes the thing that came screaming out of the Chattahoochee National Forest and changed the way she felt about the woods forever. A fishing guide from Everglades City recounts the night a pair of glowing eyes tracked him across the water in the Ten Thousand Islands. A teenage girl in Oconee County, South Carolina watched something unfold from a rhododendron thicket while her daddy's bluetick hound shook itself half to death against her leg.The stories stretch across state lines and keep coming. Arkansas. Tennessee. Virginia. A coon hunter and his cousin tree something in the Ouachitas that no lantern light should ever have revealed. A family of four flees a Cherokee National Forest campsite at three in the morning. A state trooper on Skyline Drive watches something cross a two-lane highway in three strides and never tells a soul.Then the podcast goes national and the picture gets bigger. A Lummi Nation elder speaks of the Ts'emekwes his people have known for thousands of years. A woman in the Hocking Hills of Ohio locks eyes with something standing between the trees in broad daylight and never hikes again. From Louisiana to Alaska to Hawaii, the encounters pile up, and Patterson starts to understand that this is not a regional phenomenon. It is everywhere. When the show crosses international borders, the scope becomes staggering. A First Nations man from British Columbia reminds the world that his people gave us the word Sasquatch in the first place. A Russian researcher describes a shape moving through snow in the Pamir Mountains. An Australian prospector watches something vanish from a waterhole in the outback. Sherpas in Nepal, scientists in China, guides in the Amazon — every culture, every continent, every corner of the wild world has a name for what lives in the places humans do not go. But it is the deep encounters that change everything. A hospice nurse in rural Kentucky describes the night something appeared at her dying husband's window and hummed him into his final moment of peace. A lost hiker in the Gila Wilderness receives images in her mind that lead her back to safety. A former Army Ranger wakes paralyzed in the Big Thicket while something rifles through his thoughts like pages in a book. These are the stories that keep Patterson up at night and force him to ask whether these creatures are something far stranger and far more profound than anyone has been willing to consider. By the end of Part Five, Patterson is two years into full-time podcasting with over three hundred interviews behind him and patterns emerging from the noise. The creatures follow corridors. They move with the seasons.They choose when to be seen. And a small but undeniable percentage of encounters suggest something beyond biology, beyond what any scientific framework can currently explain. The podcast has crossed a million downloads. The community is growing. The world is slowly waking up. And somewhere out in the deep woods, something is watching back.
"Radioimmunoconjugates work through a dual mechanism that combines immunologic targeting with localized radiation delivery. The monoclonal antibody components bind to specific tumor-associated antigens such as CD20, expressed on malignant B cells. Once found, the attached radioisotope delivers beta radiation directly to the tumor, causing DNA damage and cell death," Sabrina Enoch, MSN, RN, OCN®, CNMT, NMTCB (CT), theranostics clinical specialist at Highlands Oncology in Rogers, AR, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about radioimmunoconjugates.

Highlights From This Episode "Radioimmunoconjugates are a specialized subset of radiopharmaceuticals designed to combine the specificity of monoclonal antibodies with the cytotoxic power of radiation. ... Early development focused on B-cell malignancies, particularly non-Hodgkin lymphoma." TS 1:51 "An important concept for nurses to understand is the crossfire effect, where radiation can affect nearby tumor cells, even though not every cell expressed has the target antigen. This helps explain why these agents can be effective even in heterogeneous tumors." TS 3:40 "At present, 90 Y-ibritumomab tiuxetan is the only radioimmunoconjugate approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in clinical use. Historically, iodine-131 tositumomab played a major role in establishing these therapy classes, but it's also useful to contrast radioimmunoconjugates with other radiopharmaceuticals, such as iodine-131 therapies, which a lot of places do at this time, used for thyroid diseases, or radium 223, used for metastatic prostate cancer. Unlike those agents, radioimmunoconjugates rely on antibody-mediated targeted rather than physiologic uptake or bone affinity." TS 4:55 "I just try to explain to [patients] that radiation exposure is like being next to a flame. The further you are away, the less heat you get, the less exposure you get. These patients can be radioactive for three days, seven days—it just depends on how fast they excrete it through their bodies with half-life exposure." TS 9:33 "While only one agent is currently approved, the principles established by radioimmunoconjugates continue to guide development for newer targeted radiopharmaceuticals. Emerging agents aim to improve targeting, reduce toxicity, and expand indications beyond hematologic malignancies. This evolution underscores the importance of nursing education in this rapidly changing field." TS 10:41 "Radioimmunoconjugates represent an important bridge between traditional oncology treatments and the future of targeted therapies. Oncology nurses play a vital role in ensuring safe delivery, patient understanding, and collaboration between multidisciplinary teams. So, it's very important to educate and also stay up to date on evidence-based practices." TS 13:12
If confidence feels like something you've lost since becoming a mum, this episode is for you. If you've been moving through motherhood feeling lower in confidence than you ever expected – second-guessing yourself, feeling like you're “just surviving”, or wondering where you went, press play on this one. In this episode, Zoe is joined by confidence coach and founder of PepTalkHer, Dior Bediako, for a conversation that completely reframes what confidence actually is, especially in early motherhood. Dior shares why confidence isn't about feeling fearless or having it all together, but about being willing to feel doubt, fear and insecurity… and still showing up. Zoe and Dior talk about how much motherhood asks of us internally, why survival is not a failure, and how the relationship you have with yourself quietly shapes your confidence, your choices and the example you're setting for your children. This conversation is grounding, expansive and deeply reassuring, a reminder that you are not behind, broken or failing. You are becoming.

“It's how you were parented that lays the foundation – it sets the blueprint for your own parenting.” This is a short moment from a much bigger conversation on Motherkind. But it tends to stop people in their tracks. In this clip, Harriet and Zoe talk about something so many of us don't fully look at until we become parents ourselves – the relationship we had with our own parents, and how that quietly shapes the way we show up with our children. Harriet shares what it can be like to grow up in an enmeshed relationship, where you're very close, but boundaries are blurred, where you might have been the best friend, the emotional support, the one who grew up a little too quickly. And how becoming a mum can suddenly shine a light on things you once told yourself were “fine”. She shares a question she now asks her clients – and it's a powerful one: Would you want your child to have the childhood you had? This clip gently explores some of the early signs that something might feel off – struggling to say no, feeling guilty for wanting things differently, having your boundaries minimised or dismissed. And how confusing that can be, especially when you rely on your parent for support or childcare. If this resonates, please know you're not alone. And you're not ungrateful. And you're not making it up. This is just one small part of a much bigger, compassionate conversation about awareness, autonomy, and breaking cycles – without blame, and with a lot of kindness.

"The United States does not have a national cancer registry. We have a bunch of state registries. Some of those registries do collaborate and share information, but the issue is the registries that do exist typically do not report cancer by occupation. So, we cannot get our arms around the potential work-relatedness of the health outcome given the current way the state registries collect information. What we're trying to set up, is a way to make what is currently an invisible risk, visible," ONS member Melissa McDiarmid, MD, MPH, DABT, professor of medicine and epidemiology and public health director of the division of occupational and environmental medicine at the University of Maryland School of Medicine in Baltimore, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about the University of Maryland School of Medicine Hazardous Drug Safety Center Exposure Registry.

Highlights From This Episode "We thought that in order to answer some of the unclear questions about health risk, we would set up an exposure registry, in this case, for oncology personnel who handle the drugs. This would then create a cohort that we could ask questions to. For example, we could try to characterize whether there is a cancer excess in this group. Or characterize the reproductive abnormalities in excess that people are experiencing." TS 6:21 "It's sort of counterintuitive that the healthcare industry, whose mission itself is care of the sick, is a high-hazard industry. We typically think about the risk as being from infectious diseases, and certainly we've all lived in our practice lifetime through some examples of that. Even before COVID-19, some of us were doing preparation for Ebola and that sort of thing. So, we're kind of used to that. But the hazards that you kind of grew up with, we've routinized or normalized handling group one, human carcinogens, which a number of these drugs are—it's just something we do every day. Well, it is, but we have to do it with respect and with care every day. And I think sometimes in that routineness of it, we have sort of lost sight of the vigilance that we need to maintain." TS 11:19 "It's very easy in the life cycle of a drug in an organization to do something that doesn't just impact you, but unknowingly, you've contaminated a surface for somebody who comes behind you. Who maybe doesn't have plastic protective equipment on because something that got contaminated shouldn't have been contaminated in the first place. If we could all be thinking of it as more of a team sport, especially in terms of safe handling, that our disposition and drug handling affects not just us and our health, but those of our colleagues." TS 24:47 "For the job history pieces, we ask what year you started, what year you stopped, and we ask about estimations of handling. So we'll be able to come up with either a duration or some kind of metric for the intensity and duration of your handling history, which will then permit us to sort the population who completed the survey into sort of low, medium, high. And we'll see whether the health outcomes that are being reported are influenced by that drug handling history." TS 27:45 "The idea that we aren't exposed to the same therapeutic dose we give to our patients is absolutely true. However, the dosing schedule to them versus us is very different, and we are exposed frequently, if not daily, to very small concentrations. They don't reach a cytotoxic dose necessarily, but we do know from a lot of studies that either ourselves or our colleagues are taking up drug from contaminated work environments. And you've probably seen there is an awful lot of intermediate evidence looking at genotoxic insult in pharmacists and nurses who handle the drugs. So clearly we're showing uptake and we're showing that there are biologically plausible, concerning measures that are taking place in us. So, I think that we need to come back and circle around the idea that we need to have deep respect for the toxicity of these agents." TS 35:03
If the word “selfish” makes you uncomfortable… this episode is for you. In this conversation, Zoe is joined by Suzy Reading for a deeply reassuring exploration of what mothers truly need – and why self-care alone is often insufficient. Together, they talk about how so many women have been conditioned to put themselves last, why resting, saying no or asking for help can feel so hard, and how unmet needs often show up as guilt, resentment or snapping at the people we love most. Suzy shares the thinking behind her new book How to Be Selfish, gently reframing “selfishness” as self-advocacy – and offers simple, practical ways to reconnect with yourself, calm your nervous system and let yourself matter too. In this episode, you'll learn about: Why self-care alone isn't enough – and how learning to receive care changes everything How motherhood and conditioning pull us away from our own needs (and why that matters) Why guilt, resentment and “shouty mum” moments are signals, not failures Simple, compassionate ways to reconnect with yourself and remember that you matter too
If you've ever felt the pull to do something different with your career and then immediately talked yourself out of it with it's too risky, I need a safe job, or this isn't the season – this short episode is for you. In this powerful Motherkind Moment, from Zoe's conversation with Debbie Wosskow OBE, they talk honestly about risk, motherhood, and why so many women feel stuck at the edge of change. Debbie shares the reality of building a business with young children, why most women start later than we think, and a simple, compassionate way to meet fear and self-doubt without letting them stop you – reminding us that you don't need certainty to begin. In this Moment, you'll hear: Why feeling scared is a natural part of change – not a sign you're doing it wrong How motherhood reshapes your relationship with risk and can actually strengthen your confidence A simple mindset shift to manage fear and start before you feel ready If you're in the early stages of motherhood and quietly wondering whether there might be another way of working for you, this is your reminder that you're not behind, you're not failing, and you don't need to have it all figured out. Sometimes the bravest thing you can do is take the first small step.

"[Multiple myeloma] is very treatable, very manageable, but right now it is still considered an incurable disease. So, patients are on this journey with myeloma for the long term. It's very important for us to realize that during their journey, we will see them repeatedly. They are going to be part of our work family. They will be with us for a while. I think it's our job to be their advocate. To be really focused on not just the disease, but periodically assessing that financial burden and psychosocial aspect," Ann McNeill, RN, MSN, APN, nurse practitioner at the John Theurer Cancer Center at Jersey Shore University Medical Center in Neptune, NJ, told Lenise Taylor, MN, RN, AOCNS®, TCTCN™, oncology clinical specialist at ONS, during a conversation about multiple myeloma.

The median age is about 69. It is more common in men than women. It's a ratio of about three men to two women that are diagnosed. It is much more common in people of African American descent with increasing global incidence linked to aging populations. Although, the highest rates are in high-income countries. So, if we look at some of the risk factors, and several have been identified, including MGUS. MGUS is a benign precursor of myeloma, and it stands for monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance. Older age is also a risk factor, although we do see patients that are younger who are diagnosed with myeloma." TS 1:54 "Bone pain, specifically in the back, and fatigue, are very common symptoms that relate to things that are going on behind the scenes with myeloma. But also, patients can be bothered by frequent and long-lasting infections. So, they find that they get sick more frequently than their family and friends, and they take a longer time to recover. That could also be a presenting sign. I think there can be some presenting signs and symptoms related to electrolyte abnormalities, especially in later stages. They might be nauseated, vomiting, or constipated. Also, signs and symptoms related to cytopenias. You have to remember that this is a bone marrow cancer. So, we do have some problem with development of normal blood cells. So, we can see not only infections, but bleeding issues related to thrombocytopenia and factors related to anemia from low red blood cell counts." TS 7:15 "About 20%–25% of our patients who are diagnosed are asymptomatic. They have no symptoms. They're living their lives, they're going to work or they're traveling, playing golf on the weekends, taking care of their children or grandchildren. They are just living their lives. And at times, they go to the primary care physician and then they're referred to a hematologist-oncologist, and they're pretty surprised when they're sent to a cancer center. The way they are diagnosed in this matter is that their routine lab work, the complete blood cell count may be normal, there may be some slight differences in their hemoglobin. But what we see in the chemistry, the complete metabolic panel, is an elevation in their total protein and or an elevation of the total globulins." TS 9:22 "The bone marrow biopsy serves many purposes. You want to determine the percentage of bone marrow plasma cells. So, you want to get the degree of plasmacytosis. And then you want to do really specific tests on those plasma cells. So, you want to isolate the malignant plasma cells and determine, via analysis. So, we do the karyotype, chromosomal studies, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) studies, immunohistochemistry studies, and molecular studies. All of these studies are looking for specific genetic changes in the myeloma cells—looking for translocations or deletions. And it's very important to get that information because we can put patients in a category of having standard-risk disease versus high-risk disease. And that can give us a better picture of what this patient's journey with myeloma may look like." TS 13:41 "When I used to work in lymphoma, I spoke with the physicians who were lymphoma specialists, and they said that they foresee a future in having these assays that detect circulating tumor cells actually take the place of imaging studies like restaging positron-emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT) scans. So, it's really amazing, these tests that are on the market now and maybe not as widespread as we'd like, but there's a lot of nice assays out there that will become more popular and used more commonplace in the future that I think are going to help identify myeloma more precisely. ... If you think about myeloma, even with measurable residual disease (MRD), MRD for leukemia, for lymphoma, you take a blood sample, you test it for MRD. For myeloma, you need a bone marrow biopsy. You need a bone marrow sample. You can't do MRD on a blood sample for myeloma. Not yet. But if we perfect these assays and we can eventually detect this, then you're looking at a whole new ballgame. You can even perfect your MRD testing as well. So, it's a very exciting time for some of these heme malignancies." TS 28:09
If your body feels tired, foggy or unfamiliar, this conversation might change how you see yourself. January can feel like a strange in-between. The world is telling us to reset, optimise, and transform. But our bodies are often saying something much quieter: I'm tired. I need care. I need kindness. In this episode, Zoe sits down with Dr Mindy Pelz for a conversation that feels less like “health advice” and more like a deep exhale. Together, they explore what's really going on for mothers beneath the brain fog, the overwhelm, the resentment, the stubborn changes in our bodies – and why so many of us feel like we're failing, when actually our bodies are doing exactly what they were designed to do. Dr Mindy gently reframes stress, hormones and fatigue, helping us understand why women's bodies respond so differently to pressure, why putting ourselves last comes at a cost, and why self-care isn't something to squeeze in once everything else is done. They also talk about fasting – not as a rule or restriction, but as a way of working with the female body rather than against it – and how it can support clarity, calm and energy when done with care and context. And perhaps most powerfully, this conversation reclaims perimenopause and menopause as something rarely spoken about in this way: not an ending, but a powerful rewiring. A time when the brain begins to let go of people-pleasing, external validation and over-functioning – and moves us towards leadership, confidence and deep self-trust. This episode is an invitation to step into the year differently.To stop fixing yourself.To start listening to yourself. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why stress underpins so much of how mothers feel in their bodies and minds How women's bodies and brains are uniquely wired through motherhood and midlife What self-care, fasting and strength really look like when done with compassion Why midlife can be a powerful return to clarity, confidence and self-trust
Ever notice how the gym fills up in January? How everyone's pumped with fresh motivation? I walked in ready to crush my workout, and some guy was on my machine. My machine. I had my towel ready and everything. We all get fired up with goals and dreams. We get clarity, make plans, feel committed. Then we stumble. We pause. We stop. Twenty years ago, a guy at a convention asked me one question that changed everything: "How bad do you want it?" After coaching thousands of hours, I've learned that's the only question that matters. You can have all the tricks, all the discipline, all the knowledge in the world. But if you don't want it badly enough, nothing else matters. Featured Story I had a dream of becoming a Hollywood director. I wanted to write screenplays and make movies. So I flew to Orlando for a film convention. Paid my $97. Walked into a breakout session on screenplay writing, ready to learn the secret that would make me Hollywood famous. The instructor got on stage and said, "I'm going to teach you everything you need to know." I had my notebook out. This was it. Then he said, "How bad do you want it? Because I can tell you right now that most people in this room don't want it nearly badly enough to make their dreams come true." I didn't believe him. I paid my money. I wanted it bad. But he was right. And that question has followed me through twenty-something thousand coaching hours. Every single time, clients get clarity, get aligned, get pumped up, and then they don't move. They can't get off the starting line. Important Points Wanting something isn't enough. You have to want it so badly that nothing can stop you from actually getting it. Real action requires two things: something that fires you up, and wanting it badly enough to actually do it. The biggest goals and smallest dreams work the same way. Peace matters as much as empires if you want it badly. Memorable Quotes "When you want it badly enough that you'll do anything to get it, you're going to get it. Nothing can stop you." "I wait until I get fired up. If I'm not fired up, I'm not going to do it. You know why? I ain't going to make it." "Life is more important than crossing Ts and dotting Is. You lost me at hello if you're correcting my grammar." Scott's Three-Step Approach First, find something that fires you up. Without inspiration, you won't move forward or you'll quit along the way. Second, wait until you want it badly enough. If it's not burning in you, don't start because you won't finish. Third, go for it no matter what. Be willing to look everyone who doubts you in the eye and keep moving anyway.
