Why are so many young women experiencing painful periods, endometriosis, Hashimoto's and hormonal chaos? After falling ill with Graves Disease in medical school, functional endocrinologist Dr. Cassie Smith made it her life's mission to chase these kinds of questions. In her new book Fix Your Gut, Fix Your Hormones (https://a.co/d/0gbCrVD6) she tackles the real gut-hormone connection behind estrogen dominance, PCOS, thyroid dysfunction, and painful periods. Dr. Smith shares the answers she found, a roadmap for better health, better periods and common-sense steps to become the CEO of your own health.  In this episode you will learn:  Why younger women are struggling with their periods Why low progesterone is so common in women in their 20s How constipation and poor fiber intake worsen PMS, bloating, and breast tenderness The impact of long-term birth control use on hormone production Simple, affordable lab tests most OBs don't order but should Exactly how your gut affects your hormones, step by step, by way of your vagus nerve. How a young person could experience a cycle of stress, a bacteria or strep infection, then their antibiotics for treating the strep as well as birth control and acid-blockers can impair their guts affecting their cycle. How, if, as women, our estrogen leaves our body down the four-hydroxy pathway (the pathway that can lead to cancer), more often when we have increased visceral fat, excess stress or intense gut dysbiosis. How important our health is, and the value in taking responsibility for our good health. Self-value, seeing the sun enough in a day and movement all play a role in balancing our hormones.   Not only can excess estrogen affect our moods, but it puts extra stress on our bodies revving up our cortisol and lowering progesterone (the calming hormone), throwing our mood and sleep out the window.  Nutritional changes can make a difference. Avoid sugar in your food and drinks (read the  labels!), and aim for thirty-five grams of fiber for regular, healthy bowel movements. Estrogen dominance from dysbiosis doesn't necessarily mean you have enough of the estrogen you need.  How having a Dutch test every few years is incredibly useful for locating early signs of hormonal imbalances.  A roadmap to fix painful periods. Laser in on how much sugar you're eating (and drinking!) Don't eat wheat made in America if you have Hashimotos, because it may cause a high TPO antibody to attack your thyroid. How babies rely on their mother's thyroid until 18 weeks in-utero, so if you want to get pregnant, optimizing your thyroid is a must.  Want more of The Ancient Health Podcast?

Has your period suddenly started behaving completely differently? Maybe your cycles are shorter or longer. PMS hits harder. Your breasts are sore, cravings are stronger, your mood changes dramatically, or your libido seems to have disappeared. In this episode, Dr. Mariza sits down with Beeya co-founders Kaya and Yasmin Purohit to explore what your changing cycle may be telling you, especially as you move into your late 30s and 40s. Yasmin shares her experience coming off birth control after 15 years and struggling for two years with anxiety, painful cramps, breast tenderness, and acne. Together, they explore why these symptoms deserve attention and how foundational habits like sleep, movement, whole foods, and blood sugar stability can support hormone health. They also unpack seed cycling, including exactly how it works, the nutrients different seeds provide throughout the menstrual cycle, what the research currently supports, and why women in perimenopause have become an especially important part of Beeya's community. Most importantly, this conversation is a reminder that your changing cycle is information. Listen now to learn how to recognize the clues your body is giving you and support your hormones without making wellness another overwhelming job. KAYA & YASMIN PUROHIT Kaya and Yasmin Purohit are the co-founders of Beeya, a women's wellness brand focused on helping women support their bodies through PMS, perimenopause, irregular cycles, fertility, and beyond. After Yasmin struggled with severe symptoms following 15 years on birth control, she and Kaya discovered seed cycling and set out to make the practice simpler and more accessible for modern women. Their work combines nutrition, education, and practical daily rituals designed to help women better understand and support their cycles. IN THIS EPISODE Why changing periods can be an early clue that you're entering perimenopause Yasmin's experience after coming off birth control following 15 years on the pill How sleep, movement, and whole-food nutrition can affect your cycle The surprising connection between blood sugar, progesterone, PMS, anxiety, and rage What seed cycling is and how to use different seeds throughout your cycle Why women in perimenopause may benefit from additional nutritional support How postpartum and perimenopause can overlap for women having children later Why community, joy, and flexibility belong in the conversation about women's health QUOTES “Your cycle is information. It's always giving you information.” “Not every day is going to be a winner.” “Annoyance is the price you pay for community.” RESOURCES MENTIONED Stop surviving and start thriving, join Midlife on Fire Collective now https://drmariza.com/jumpstart Beeya Wellness Website Beeya Wellness Instagram Beeya Wellness Youtube RELATED EPISODES  767: The Longevity Secret We Rarely Talk About: The Healing Power of Friendship, Joy & Being Fully Expressed with Samantha Hollingsworth 766: The Weight You Lose Isn't Always the Biggest Transformation: The Part of GLP-1s Nobody Talks About with Dr. Alexandra Sowa 764: Why Your Nervous System Feels Dysregulated (Even When You're Doing Everything Right) with Roseann Capanna-Hodge 763: Why So Many High-Functing and Achieving Women Miss the Signs of Hormone Imbalance with Anastasia Sartan

You've said it yourself, probably more than once: "I think it's my hormones." Your period is wonky, your cravings feel uncontrollable, the scale won't budge no matter what you do, and you lose your shit every month before your period starts. In this episode, I'm breaking down why that phrase has become a crutch, and what your hormones are actually trying to tell you when they create these symptoms.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why "it's my hormones" keeps you stuck in confusion instead of getting you real answersWhat your hormones are actually responding to (hint: it's not bad luck, and it's not just being 42)The real reason skipping breakfast or undereating earlier in the day backfires on your metabolismHow cortisol gets aimed at the wrong problem when your body thinks food is scarceWhy your cravings, wonky periods, and restless sleep are all the same problem showing up five different waysThe simple daily eating structure that tells your body it's safe to burn fat instead of store itWhat "optimal protein" actually means, and why more isn't automatically betterWhy the healthy-looking protein bars and pre-made shakes in your pantry might not be helping youTIMESTAMPS: 00:01 — Welcome back and a back-to-school life update 02:28 — Your hormones don't exist separately from how you're nourishing your body 04:51 — Why our medical system isn't built to teach nutrition or hold you accountable 06:07 — The vicious cycle of confusion, outsourcing, and superficial results 08:30 — "Your hormones aren't the problem, they're responding to being undernourished" 10:51 — What your hormones are actually responding to (it's not just calories) 13:08 — How cortisol solves the wrong problem when food feels scarce 15:12 — How this shows up as cravings, wonky periods, PMS, and restless sleep 17:35 — Why simply thinking about your food ahead of time changes everything 18:52 — What "optimal protein" really means and why blood sugar balance matters more than the number 19:44 — Redefining your ideal body weight (it's not a number from your past) 22:05 — Why nourishment, not medication or supplements, is the real path to safetyRESOURCES:

Projects rarely fail from a lack of templates — they fail because of people. Author Dawn Mahan reveals the animal avatars that help you spot the cheerleader, the finicky fan, and the saboteur before one of them bites you in the ankle. Why do projects really fail? Not, as guest Dawn Mahan argues, from a shortage of templates or Gantt charts — but from the people around them. In this episode, Kim and Kate dig into the human side of project delivery: the stakeholders who love your project, the ones who quietly want it dead, and the "style under stress" that surfaces when the pressure cooker of Projectland heats up. If you've ever been blindsided by a saboteur or tripped up by an over-eager cheerleader, this conversation on stakeholder management, risk, and project leadership is for you. Kim and Kate welcome Dawn Mahan, author of the bestselling Meet the Players in Project Land and co-editor of Project Land Goes to the Movies: 22 Blockbuster Strategies for Project Success. Dawn's premise is refreshingly human: projects rarely fail because the paperwork is wrong — they fail because the people involved aren't set up for success. Using animal avatars to make stakeholder behavior easier, and safer, to talk about, she gives project managers and leaders a practical vocabulary for the messy, political, feelings-driven reality of getting work done inside real organizations. Grab a drink and join us.   Quotes from the Episode "If you're skipping through the meadow of project land toward your goal, one might just jump up and bite you in the ankle when you least expect it…" — Dawn Mahan "You've got a style under stress." — Kate Anderson "Instead of being a cheerleader, she accidentally became a saboteur." — Dawn Mahan "I believe PMs are in the pain prevention business." — Dawn Mahan "Any of us can sabotage our own lives, relationships, projects, even." — Dawn Mahan Practical Takeaways The three stakeholder archetypes — the cheerleader (happy dog), the finicky fan (flamingo), and the saboteur (snake), and how each one engages with or endangers a project. "Style under stress" — how both stakeholder and team behavior shifts under pressure, and why leaders should plan for those reactions in advance. Stakeholder analysis as a scheduled activity — running it privately with the sponsor, casting a wide net, documenting decisions, and coding the stakeholder register discreetly. The "Feel" question — asking "How do you feel about this?" instead of "What do you think?" to surface fear and identify project risk early. Managing cheerleaders with soundbites — the Stakeholder Gabby lesson on why enthusiastic champions can accidentally become saboteurs, and how to channel their energy constructively. Closing Reflection Perhaps the most human insight of the episode is Dawn's reminder that any of us can sabotage our own projects. Sabotage isn't always evil; more often it's fear, miscommunication, or a stakeholder who simply doesn't understand how Projectland works. The leadership question worth sitting with: who on your project is operating from fear right now — and what could you do to change that?

Fall is coming, and with it, that itch to overhaul your whole routine. Please don't.That urge to overhaul everything hits me too every single fall. New routine, new rules, a five-step morning ritual that looks great written down and lasts about two days before real life shows up and knocks it sideways.I'm skipping all that this year. Instead, I'm sharing the exact non-negotiables that have stuck for me, the ones actually making a difference in my nervous system and my progesterone, without turning my mornings into a performance.This episode is me literally walking outside with my glasses in my hand, recording on a 6:30 am walk, because I wanted to show you a hormone-supportive morning doesn't require a silent home office and an extra hour you don't have.Here's what we're getting into:The one free thing I do every single morning that touches cortisol, blood sugar, and hormones all at onceWhy my breakfast is not always "picture perfect" and what I actually drink most mornings to hit my protein goals fastThe slightly ridiculous lymphatic movement I learned on Instagram that I now do in my backyard, kids watchingWhat I'm doing on purpose to protect my sleep, even on the nights everything falls apartWhy skipping my 6 am workout class is sometimes the smartest thing I do all weekThe mindset shift that finally got me out of the all-or-nothing routine trapIf you've ever built yourself a pretty little morning checklist, color coded and full of hope, and then quietly abandoned it by day three, this one is for you.A morning routine that supports your hormones isn't a matter of doing more. Your body is listening for one very specific message first thing in the morning, and that message is safety. When your nervous system reads a room as safe, that's your body's green light to make progesterone, keep estrogen in check, and hand you the steady mood and energy you've been chasing all year.That safety signal doesn't come from a perfect list. It comes from a handful of consistent things, done imperfectly, again and again.For me that starts with morning sunlight. I bring this up constantly on the podcast because it really is the top non-negotiable, and it costs nothing, which I love pointing out. Early morning light hits your eyes in a way your kitchen lights and your phone screen simply can't fake. It tells your body it's daytime in the language your biology actually understands, and that one signal ripples out into your cortisol, your blood sugar, and your hormones.Then there's breakfast, which you've heard me talk about more times than you can count because it genuinely changes everything. Some mornings that's a real plate of food. Other mornings, especially in a high-stress season when my appetite has vanished, it's a protein hot chocolate made in my countertop frother while I plan a real breakfast for later. I walk through exactly what that looks like in the episode, because so many of us carry this quiet belief that if we can't do it perfectly, we shouldn't bother at all. That belief is exactly what keeps you stuck.I also get into the small movement practice I do most mornings to get my lymph and fascia moving after a night of stillness, and why I'm being so intentional right now about protecting sleep on both ends of the day, even when that means skipping a workout I genuinely wanted to go to.If you're in a season where you feel like you're doing everything right and your body still isn't cooperating, or if you've built routine after routine that never actually sticks, this episode might land differently for you. Less about adding one more thing. More about getting honest about what actually matters and letting the rest go.I also want to name something I see constantly with the women I work with, and honestly with myself too. This paralyzing sense that healing your hormones has to be complicated, specific, and nearly flawless to count for anything. That belief works against you every time. Overwhelm and fear aren't neutral background noise. They're stress signals your body reacts to, and stress sits right in the middle of the road between you and the hormone balance you're working so hard for.So this episode is my invitation to simplify. Not to add another list to your already overflowing plate, but to get really clear on the small handful of things that move the needle for your body, and to let everything else be optional.Next time you catch yourself scrolling for the "perfect" morning routine at 11 pm, remember this episode instead. The version of you six months from now, the one with more energy and steadier moods, is built by the boring, repeatable stuff, not the Pinterest-worthy version you never actually do.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:PMS to Peace Private PodcastFix Your Breakfast, Fix Your Hormones Equip ProteinNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

Your house might be quietly stressing you out, and it has nothing to do with the mess on the counter.That's what my guest, Dr. Rachel Melvald, and I dig into on this week's episode, and honestly, it kind of wrecked me in the best way. Rachel is the founder of Psychitecture, where she blends neuroscience, psychology, and design to help people understand why their homes make them feel calm, chaotic, or somewhere in between. We're not talking Pinterest boards here. We're talking about the actual signals your nervous system is picking up from your walls, your lighting, and even your throw pillows.I've been in my body-and-hormones lane for a while now, so this one stretched me in a direction I wasn't expecting. Your home isn't just where you live. It's constantly talking to your nervous system, whether you're paying attention or not.Here's a taste of what we get into:The one lighting mistake almost every American home makes, and why it's quietly wrecking your sleep and your moodWhat "prospect and refuge" means and why your brain needs both privacy and connection built into your spaceThe surprising link between your home and your relationship, and why remodels reveal way more than paint color preferencesHow color actually shifts your nervous system state, and the easy way to use it without repainting a single wallWhy open floor plans might be working against you more than you thinkThe single cheapest fix Rachel recommends starting with, no remodel requiredIf your house has ever felt like it's somehow adding to your stress instead of relieving it, you're not imagining that. Rachel explained that our brains are constantly scanning our environment for cues of safety or threat, the same primal system that's been running since we were cave dwellers. Your nervous system doesn't know the difference between a real threat and a room that just feels off. It reacts the same way either way.We talked about how something as simple as swapping harsh overhead LED lighting for a lamp can shift your whole evening. I actually did this in my own home recently and noticed the difference almost immediately. Less jarring, more settled, like my body finally got the memo that it was time to wind down. Rachel breaks down exactly why that happens and what it's doing to your circadian rhythm behind the scenes.We also went deep on something I hadn't thought much about before, which is how our homes shape our relationships. Rachel used to be a couples therapist before she moved into this work, and she shared how something as ordinary as a remodel or a move can bring every unresolved wound in a relationship right to the surface. One person wants everything put away, the other wants it out where they can see it, and suddenly you're not really arguing about a shelf anymore. If you've ever had a weirdly heated conversation about furniture placement with your partner, this part is going to hit close to home.And if you're a mom, the piece on kids' rooms is worth the listen on its own. Rachel talks about how a child's space should shift as they grow and move through different developmental stages, and how giving them some say in their own room can support their sense of identity and independence in ways most of us never consider.What I loved most is that Rachel keeps bringing it back to something simple. A dimmer switch. One lamp. A little more intention about where you sit and what you're looking at. Small, doable shifts that speak directly to your nervous system, no gutted kitchen or hired designer required.Next time you walk into your house, pay attention to what your shoulders do. Do they drop, or do they creep up toward your ears? Your body already has an opinion about your space, it's just been talking to you in a language you were never taught to read. Consider this episode your translator.CONNECT WITH RACHEL:WebsiteInstagramNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

What does it take to stay relevant as a CPO when the very definition of the product manager role is being rewritten in real time? In this episode of the CPO Rising series hosted by Products That Count Resident CPO Renee Niemi, Carta CPO Vrushali Paunikar will be speaking on how she thinks about product management in an AI-transformed world, why she frames her best PMs as systems architects rather than feature owners, and what eight years at a founder-led company has taught her about trust, speed, and creating excess value. She also gets into how she structures product reviews, why the hardest problems at Carta are the ones you can't measure, and what battle scars really mean in a product leader.

What if some of the people you see as competitors could actually help you grow your property management business? In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, Jason and Sarah Hull talk about collaboration over competition and why a scarcity mindset can cause property management business owners to overlook opportunities sitting right in front of them. They break down why clients aren't necessarily choosing a property manager because of a secret strategy, service, or sales pitch, and why trying to protect everything you do from your competitors may be doing more harm than good. If you've been treating the property managers around you strictly as competition, this episode may change the way you look at them. You'll Learn [00:00] Introduction and industry overview [00:58] False scarcity and competition myths [03:19] Clients choose you for your uniqueness, not secret sauce [05:16] The industry benefits from collaboration, not isolation [06:15] Debunking false assumptions about growth and scarcity [08:39] Lead generation is easier than perceived [09:06] The abundance of property management opportunities [11:51] Overcoming fear and false evidence [12:52] Collaboration over competition explained [16:16] The neighbor strategy for referrals Quotables "They work with you because they like you. Because you're unique, because you are uniquely you." — Sarah Hull  "People don't want to buy property management. They want to buy you." — Jason Hull "Some of your neighbors could become one of your best friends and best assets." — Jason Hull Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive Transcript Jason Hull (00:00) All right, five, four, three, two, one. Hey everybody, I'm Jason Hull, the founder and CEO of DoorGrow. This is Sarah Hull, owner of DoorGro and the COO. We are the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. For over a decade and a half, we have brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry.   At DoorGrow, we are on a mission to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. Now let's get into the show. All right, so today we're going to be talking about collaboration over competition in the property management industry. And the reason for this is because a lot of you are dealing with a lot of false scarcity.   false competition and you're not leveraging some of the people that could be feeding you business, maybe even in your own neighborhood. And so let's get into this. All right, let's talk about it. So if you've ever thought, no, I don't want my competitors   registers to know about doorgrow. I don't want them to work with door grow. I only want to do this or I only want to have the best stuff or I only want to do, you know, the whatever strategy or you know, I want all the connections. And I think a lot of times that's really based in a a scarcity mindset and in a fear-based mindset. Yeah. If you find something that's good and then you go, I'm gonna keep this little secret to myself. I I don't want to tell anyone else about it.   I only want it for me. And maybe it's a website or maybe it's, you know, a special pricing tool, or maybe it's your sales process, or, you know, maybe it's a referral source. Maybe it's what do they call it at KFC? Like the the secret ingredients. Eleven secret eleven herbs and spices. Like I can't I can't let anybody else know what I do or how I do it or why. I don't want them to know anything about me. Then a lot of times I I know it feels like hey, I'm protecting   my assets and I'm protecting my my business and I'm making sure that you know not everyone can copy me. And what it usually boils down to though is A property management is just inherently not that different. Like what one property manager does is really similar to what another property manager does. Are there slight nuances and differences between two companies? Yes, of course there are. How they do things is different.   Of course. But the product itself, what you're actually doing, is not very different from company to company to company. So you're really not saving yourself what you think like what you think you're doing is, I'm not telling anybody. I'm keeping this to myself. I don't want anyone to copy me. It it's it's all the same product. And usually people don't decide to work with you because you have the secret sauce.   They work with you because they like you. Because you're unique, because you are uniquely you. So your competitor and you might do the exact same thing in the exact same area, in the exact same market, targeting the exact same properties and clients. You do everything the same. Your pricing might be the same, the website might look similar, your sales pitches often pretty similar. That's why when you call property management companies, you kind of have deja vu and you hear the same thing again and again and again and again.   Unless you talk with one of our clients and then the conversation sounds slightly different. But it's it's all it all boils down to the same thing. And people aren't working with you because you said the magic words like, they said this one thing and now I have to work with them because no other company does that. No other company is like that. That usually is not the case. Because the product and the service is what it is. It's it's the same. But you're different.   And they like you. And that's why someone will work with you. And guess what? Your competitors probably unless unless you're maybe really mean to them, your competitors probably like you too as a person. They, you know, there's probably maybe some friendly competition there. But they probably like you too. And if you got to know them, you might find that you like them as well. And I think that   looking at this as a collaboration instead of no, it's it's all me, it has to be me, I'm the only one, I'm the best one, and nobody else in this market, everybody else is like this or like that. I'm the only one. Well, all right. I I just don't know how that really serves the industry. I don't know how that really serves the community. Well let's take a step back because I think a lot of business owners   And until your own basic needs are met, you don't care about the community. Let's be real. Like if you're you and your family are hungry and starving, you need money, you need to pay rent, you need to pay your bills, you you want to get your business going. You don't care about the community. You don't care about the industry. You care about yourself, which is fine. So let me help you see how you by being selfish and looking at yourself, you have probably some false assumptions that are causing you to not grow. And that's why you're in this that that   That camp and why you're struggling. So, first of all, like Sarah said, you may have this false scarcity mindset. So, first of all, there is, let's let's kill some assumptions. First, why do you have the assumption that there's a it's hard to grow your business? Or the assumption that there's there's only a small amount of business to go around, or the false assumption that maybe it's difficult to grow your property management business.   What if none of this was even true? These are all false assumptions you have based on bad data and bad information because you've had bad ideas or bad strategy. So, first of all, most property management companies suck in most markets. Why do they suck? Because they're stuck in a lot of this bad mindset stuff. They didn't wake up in the morning saying, I want to start a bad business today. And if you're struggling and customer service is kind of, you know, falling apart, or you've got clients leaving, or people are frustrated.   Or you're super stressed out and you're not loving your business, you didn't wake up in the morning one day and say, This is, I want to start a crappy business today. But that's the default of where you end up when you make certain decisions with certain assumptions because you have blind spots. So let's see if we can destroy a few blind spots for you right now. First, is property management, does everybody sell the same thing? Like Sarah said, no, because why? Property management isn't even the product that people want to buy from you.   They're the right owners that you want. So they're looking for a property management business owner they can partner with that they trust to take over their property. They're not just looking for the cheapest person. But when you commoditize yourself, so by having the wrong offer, you turn yourself into a commodity. You're now and because you're selling the wrong product. And if you're selling the wrong product to the wrong audience, you have the wrong offer that's optimized for the wrong people.   And so then you have the wrong clients, and then your business is really operationally expensive. Your operational costs are really high, really difficult clients to deal with because you have bad channels, the wrong channels, wrong product, wrong offer, wrong clients, right? So we, if we want to counter this and get out of the cycle of suck, one, you have to start firing bad clients. You have to start filtering the cloud clients that you bring on. You need better channels of opportunity that feed you.   Healthier business, healthier property owners, healthier clients, people that trust you, people that are not going to try to micromanage you. The operational costs are lower. They're healthier investors. And then you can sell the right product to them. And then you can have the right offer that's attractive to that type of buyer. And so then everything gets a lot easier. The other thing is Legion is hard. Let's let's attack that. Legion is not hard.   At least half of all rental properties out there are being managed by somebody that doesn't enjoy doing it or that sucks at doing it. Maybe most of them are managed by somebody that doesn't enjoy doing it because a lot of your the lot of half are probably professionally managed or less. And a lot of them are miserable or aren't even good at it. That might be you listening to this right now. And we could help you with that. But most property management companies suck. Most people.   though are not using property manager. So there's a lot of self managing people. They don't enjoy doing it. And rarely have you ever run into a vessor that says, Yeah, I'm gonna I'm doing it myself and I love it. It's my favorite thing. I love managing property. I love showing the property. I love doing inspections and leasing and maintenance coordination. They don't th it's not a hard sell.   Right. So I don't think it's hard to sell property management. I don't think it's hard to get leads. There's tons of available business out there. When scarcity happens is when your channels suck. So if you're focused on SEO, pay-per-click, like Google Ads, pay per lead, like all property management.com, social media marketing, content marketing. Here's where there's a lot of scarcity because there's very little internet or search volume.   looking for property management. And so there's a lot more scarcity there. And there are people winning at this game. But this is kind of like there's there are people winning in Vegas when they're gambling. There are winners. And you see these winners and you're like, they're winning. The lottery. They're like number one on Google. They've been there for a decade. Yeah, they're winning. And everybody else, like second place on Google, gets like a dramatically less traffic, less leads, less business. And that's   It's a hard game to play. So if you're going after Goliath and you are David, but you tr decide to do the same things, you're making really bad moves. So we've got to get you focused on better, more effective lead gen strategies where you're not do focus on digital marketing and you're able to reach these investors and owners that would love your help. They're just not looking for a property manager actively. That doesn't mean they wouldn't buy it. That doesn't mean they don't need it. That doesn't mean they would they would   like give up all that extra freedom and time that they would love to have that you could give to them. You can sell them on this. This is not hard to sell. They don't even like doing it. And you can take it off their plate. And it might even be free for them if they haven't raised rent in the last two years. You just like they might be 10% below market rate on rent. They might be dealing with mol like lots of vacancy.   If you can decrease their vacancy significantly over the course of a year, you probably could pay for your management services just by doing that. So here we are we want to destroy all these false assumptions because fear, they say that is an acronym that stands for false evidence appearing real. So if you're you're in the state of fear or in the state of false scarcity or you have the scarcity mindset.   Every decision you make from that place, from that mindset, is going to be not true or is going to be false or is going to be skewed or is going to be ineffective. And so a lot of you are making decisions from a place of scarcity, which isn't even accurate. There's tons of business out there. Tons of business. There's lots of different growth engines, lots of different strategies and vehicles you could implement on how to grow your business. If you get on a sales call with us, our team will   Give you those strategies for free. So you will be convinced we could help you and you'll know how we could help you and what we could coach you on. So reach out and set up a call with DoorGrow. We are great at this. We've been doing this for almost 18 years. So that's what I would say about that, to destroy some of those false assumptions. And so we believe in a doorgrow. We teach our clients. We believe in collaboration over competition. Right? What does that mean?   That means instead of going, I can't let my competitors know what I'm doing. I don't want to talk to my competitors. I don't want them to know what I'm doing. I would love if I knew what they were doing, but I don't want them to know what I'm doing. I don't wanna talk with them. I don't wanna work with them. I don't wanna look at them. I don't wanna have a relationship with them. I don't wanna put my pricing on my website because then they'll see it and then they'll copy me and they'll they'll do the same thing that I'm doing and they'll have the same thing because   We're the same, you know, we're doing the same thing. Yeah. And and it's that it's that fear. It's that fear and it's that scarcity and it's that well no. Yeah. There's only there's maybe two big companies or three big companies in your market and you're going, Well, I need to be one of them. So I'm I'm I'm gonna just distance myself from my competitors. And if you look at things through the lens of, hey, this is my competitor. Mm-hmm.   then it's really hard for you to want to work with or have a relationship with someone who's your competitor. So you need to be able to look at things different and realize, yeah, you might be in the same market. Yeah, you might do the same thing. Yeah, you might serve the same audience and you might have the same target and you really might have similar goals. But that doesn't necessarily mean that you can't collaborate. Yeah.   And the thing is, people don't want to buy property management. They want to buy you. And you're different than all of your competitors. You have a different philosophy. And hopefully you have a healthy mindset because really what they're buying from you as a partner partially is your mindset. It is your belief system. And if you are coming from a place of scarcity, you also are not going to be very attractive to the healthiest clients. You're not going to be attractive to the best investors. And if you're walking around going, why are all the owners in my market are cheap? You know what that tells me about you?   Yeah, we talk about this in our pricing secrets training and how to figure that out. Like you might be a cheap owner or a cheap O, as I call it, a cheap investor or cheap mindset person, right? So we gotta shift your mindset and that then you start attracting people like you, healthier people. All right, let's do a quick word from our sponsor. We'll get back into this. So our sponsor is second nature. We're talking about collaboration. Yeah.   He's been steamrolling me all day today. okay. Are we segueing into this? Go ahead. Do you want to do it? No, no, you take it. Go ahead. You just you do it. Well go ahead. To be fair, I pointed at it. I know. I didn't think she was gonna lead into it. Okay. Good. Speaking of collaboration and how to partner with someone who's really great so that there's a less of this   You know, scarcity and fear set. mind this fear-based mindset and how to focus on collaboration. Sometimes the people you want to partner with are also in your industry, but they're not direct competitors. Like Second Nature. So let's talk about second nature and then i after this I'm gonna tell you about the neighbor strategy, how you can y actually get neighboring property managers.   To give you business instead of thinking they're taking it from you. Okay. All right, second nature. So the resident experience is broken and it starts with the lease. Leases are getting longer and attention spans are getting shorter. The result is that residents don't read the lease, and PMs know all too well that just it's just a ticking time bomb. Second nature believes it doesn't have to be this way. Introducing resident onboarding.   So, Second Nature's new onboarding guide offers transparency, choice, and convenience to residents all while taking the work off your plate. Lease responsibilities and expectations are made clear and unskippable in a simplified digital signing flow. Residents can customize their living experience, whether they're selecting insurance coverage, upgrading their air filters, or choosing more expense or more extensive pest control coverage, and with group rate internet.   They get gig speed service right in their lease. Best of all, it's fully managed by Second Nature. So there's no extra work for you. This could help. It's kind of like a sounds like an onboarding wizard that they go through to bring them into a better experience. Visit secondnature.com slash affiliate dash doorgrow. So affiliate is A double F I one L I A T E dash Dorgrow.   To start revolutionizing your resident experience. Okay. Cool.   Would you like to explain the neighbor strategy? in two minutes, yes. Cool. So back when I did property management, this was one of the things that I actually really enjoyed doing. I like staying in my lane and not trying to expand into properties, areas and territories that I really wasn't interested in covering, but that I could cover because the right opportunity comes up. We all know how that goes. So   I was actually introduced to a property manager that was a neighboring property manager and I did not cover her area and she did not cover my area. But a lot of times we would talk with investors, both of us would talk with investors to go, hey, do you do this area? And I would go, Absolutely not, I won't touch that with a 10 foot pole. But I have someone who's great to talk with her and she will take good care of you. And she would do the same for me. And we would be able to send each other leads back and forth.   So that I could just cover the area that I was really great at covering and that I wanted to cover and she could do the same thing. And instead of then going, nope, don't cover that area, see you later, bye. Then I would go, well, I don't, but I know someone that can help you. And she's great. Let me get you connected with her. And that became a lead for her. And I got a lot of business from her. And I would send her a lot of business and it was really great. because some people would look at that and go, no, I have no time for that.   And it was a really great relationship that we were able to maintain and grow our businesses together collaboratively. Awesome. So if you you could be a vendor in this industry, you could be a property manager in this industry. If you think that your competitors are your enemies and you think that there's no way to collaborate with them, maybe you're not looking hard enough. And there are some big opportunities for deals to be had, for relationships to be created. And just like Sarah talked about the neighbor strategy.   There's we've had clients with short-term rental companies in the exact same city as long term rental company clients working with each other, feeding each other business. There might be a way to work out. maybe there's different types of properties, whatever, but some of your neighbors could become one of your best friends and best assets. All right. So if you've ever felt stuck or stagnant, you want to take your property management business to the next level.

Katie sits down with Dr. Sharon Malone at the Aspen Institute to talk about why women's health has been under-researched and under-funded for centuries -- which also happens to be the subject of Katie's new documentary, HORMONAL!. The numbers are staggering: PMS affects 90% of women but gets a fraction of the funding erectile dysfunction research receives. The NIH didn't require women to be included in clinical trials until 1993. Katie also shares how her own breast cancer diagnosis has shaped her relationship to hormone therapy. It's a candid, infuriating, ultimately hopeful conversation about what it will take to close the gender gap in medicine. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Jeff Malec sits down with Josh Blanchfield of Avos to trace his path from physics at Harvard, poker pro, and 11 years at Bridgewater (including co-heading the trading desk during Lehman) to running a concentrated, risk-aware commodities and macro shop. Josh explains why China is “ground zero” for global commodities, detailing how its import cuts, stockpiling, and scrap policies have shaped oil, copper, gold, and uranium, and why understanding flows and participant behavior matters more than neat top-down supply-demand models. He breaks down how Avos blends macro with very granular micro, like Chinese spec flows around Lunar New Year, refinery outages, crack spreads, and uranium's inelastic buyers, to build convex, options-heavy trades that aim to capture upside tails while avoiding the classic commodity-fund blowup. Along the way, they dig into the realities of radical transparency at Bridgewater, the limits and promise of AI as a “research team we never hired,” the risks of an AI-driven labor shock, the true drivers of the dollar's dominance and petrodollar fears, why he's skeptical on small modular reactors but bullish nuclear, and how his Substack and broader investment philosophy challenge received wisdom on everything from munis to equity valuations. - SEND IT!Chapters:00:00-01:19= Intro01:20-09:01= From Boulder Trails to China's Oil Trap: Josh's Origin Story and DB Cooper Commodities09:02-19:27=China's Dollar Dilemma, Gold Grab, and the Real Story Behind Commodity Power19:28–30:36 = From Poker Tables to Lehman's Collapse: Josh's Bridgewater Baptism by Fire30:37–37:57 = AI, Jobs, and Impossible Growth: Rethinking the Macro Behind the Magnificent Seven38:38–49:04 = Gold Flows, Burning Refineries, and the Uranium Edge49:05–56:26 = Capacity, Convexity, and Why Small Nuclear Isn't So Small56:27–01:09:15 = Munis, Myths, and Moneyball: Josh's Skeptical Playbook and Pop-Culture LensFrom the Episode:PODCAST:“Dr. Copper”: From Chilean Mines to Chinese Smelters to AI Data Centers in the US – with Kurt Nelson & Natalie Scott-GrayPODCAST:Going Nuclear: How Uranium is Powering Portfolios with Trevor Hall & Justin HuhnPODCAST:OpenSnow's Joel Gratz built a Pod Shop for Powder Days: the PMs are Meteorologists and the Returns are FaceshotsBLOG:The Definitive List of the Best Investing MoviesFollow along with Josh and Avos ⁠on LinkedIn and Substack, and be sure to check out avos.co to learn more about what they are up to.Don't forget to subscribe to⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The Derivative⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, follow us on Twitter at⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@rcmAlts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠sign-up for our blog digest⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.Disclaimer: This podcast is provided for informational purposes only and should not be relied upon as legal, business, or tax advice.

On creating alignment so it feels easy (not exhausting) || ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/LOezmk20KC4 In the third and final part of the Rich, Happy & Healthy Series (go back and catch up on parts 1 and 2 if you missed them—linked below!), Monica covers what being in alignment actually looks and feels like in your body, your work, and your love life. She also explains why focusing on mindset work alone won't shift anything in your life, and what has to happen in your body first to get what you want. Here's what she covers: 

Join The Circle and use code "PODCAST": https://holplus.co/circle/ What if the fasting, workouts, and eating patterns that are supposed to improve your metabolism are actually working against your hormones? In this episode of hol+ with Dr. Taz MD, women's hormone expert Alisa Vitti explains why women in their reproductive years have a second biological clock that most health and fitness advice completely ignores. Known as the infradian rhythm, this approximately month-long cycle affects metabolism, cortisol, immune function, brain activity, energy, appetite, and exercise performance.Alisa breaks down the follicular, ovulatory, luteal, and menstrual phases and explains how nutritional needs, metabolism, and stress tolerance change throughout the cycle. She shares how the Cycle Syncing Method can help women adjust their food, exercise, recovery, and daily routines to better support these biological changes.Dr. Taz and Alisa also challenge some of the most popular advice given to women about intermittent fasting and fasted exercise. Alisa explains why she believes women should fuel before working out, why glucose is needed to build lean muscle, and how combining carbohydrates with protein and fat may support blood sugar stability and workout performance.Alisa shares her personal experience with PCOS, maintaining a significant weight loss, losing additional body fat by eating more, and intentionally building muscle as she approaches 48. She explains why blood sugar regulation is the first step she recommends for women experiencing PMS, PCOS, infertility, fibroids, perimenopause, or other hormonal concerns.The conversation also explores progesterone, estrogen dominance, cortisol, HRT, ovarian aging, hot flashes, strength training, environmental exposures, and the habits that may help women protect their hormonal health throughout every stage of life.In this episode:Why women have both circadian and infradian biological rhythmsHow the menstrual cycle affects metabolism, cortisol, immunity, and the brainWhat happens during the follicular, ovulatory, luteal, and menstrual phasesWhy women may need more calories during the luteal phaseHow blood sugar instability may affect cortisol and progesteroneWhy Alisa says women should never work out in a fasted stateWhat to eat before strength training to support lean muscleHow Alisa structures protein, carbohydrates, and meal timing throughout her dayWhy strength training is important during every phase of the cycleHow to modify cardio and recovery throughout the menstrual cycleWhy eating more helped Alisa lose additional body fat and build muscleThe relationship between blood sugar, PCOS, PMS, and perimenopauseHow fasting recommendations may change after menopauseWhere HRT fits into a broader hormone-support strategySimple habits that may support healthier hormonal agingWhether ovarian aging can be slowed or partially reversedAbout Alisa Vitti:Alisa Vitti is a women's hormone and functional nutrition expert, bestselling author, and creator of the Cycle Syncing Method. She is the founder of FLO Living and creator of the MyFLO app, which helps women adjust their nutrition, fitness, and lifestyle practices to the different phases of their menstrual cycle. After experiencing PCOS, weight challenges, acne, and an absent menstrual cycle in her teens and early twenties, Alisa began studying nutrition, functional endocrinology, and women's hormonal health.

No food on this planet's going to fix your progesterone, and estrogen dominance is not nearly as simple as the word makes it sound.I know, I know. That's a lot to hit you with in one sentence. But I needed to say it before we even got started, because these two things get more misinformation thrown at them than almost anything else in the hormone space.That's exactly why I brought my friend Dr. Heather Rhodes on the podcast this week: she and I both get the same questions over and over in our practices, and we're both so tired of watching women chase quick fixes that were never going to work in the first place. So we sat down and answered your biggest hormone questions, no fluff, no clickbait, just the actual truth about what's going on in your body. We're covering estrogen dominance, progesterone production, the "no time to balance my hormones" excuse, and what actually moves the needle when it comes to feeling good in your body again.Fair warning: we are busting a few myths in this one, including one that might make you side-eye your favorite wellness influencer just a little.Here's what we get into:The mindset trap behind "I don't have time to balance my hormones" and why your brain might be the one keeping you stuckThe blunt truth about whether food alone can raise your progesterone (spoiler, it's more complicated than any reel will tell you)The sneaky reason your labs keep coming back "normal" even though you feel like a completely different person for two weeks a monthFour (maybe five) totally different reasons you could be dealing with estrogen dominance symptoms, and why treating all of them the same way can backfireWhy going back to basics, not adding more supplements or more rules, is usually where the biggest shifts happenA mindset shift Heather shares about what your symptoms are actually trying to tell you, and why hearing it might change how you see your whole cycleLet's start with time, because I think almost every woman I know says some version of "I just don't have time for this." Heather made a point that stuck with me. If your brain is locked onto the belief that you don't have enough time, that is exactly what it's going to keep proving true. And being stretched that thin, having everyone need a piece of you all day long, can literally be part of what's throwing your hormones off to begin with.Here's the part that surprised me though. You're already eating. You're already making food choices every single day. You're probably already moving your body in some way. The work isn't necessarily adding more to your plate; it's getting more intentional about what you're already doing. Heather said something to a client once that I think about constantly: "You didn't need to go back to the basics. You were already doing the basics. You just weren't very good at them yet." Ouch. But also, kind of a relief.Then we got into progesterone, and this is where I need you to sit down for a second. That reel telling you "eat these foods to boost progesterone" is oversimplified; Heather flat out says there are no foods that increase progesterone. None. You could eat three buckets of ashwagandha a day (please don't), and if your nervous system doesn't feel safe, your body still isn't going to prioritize making more of it. Your progesterone being low is a signal, not a supplement deficiency. It could be stress, it could be undereating, it could be your body simply not feeling safe enough to ovulate well. Nutrition matters, don't get me wrong, but it's a piece of a much bigger picture.And can we talk about estrogen dominance for a second? Because I feel like every woman I know has self-diagnosed this one at some point, myself included. Here's the thing that Heather broke down so well. You could have all the classic "high estrogen" symptoms and actually have low estrogen that's just not clearing properly. You could have symptoms because you're not ovulating at all, which means estrogen is the only hormone showing up, even if your levels are technically low. You could be dealing with estrogen mimickers from your environment, your skincare, your food containers, or your job if you work in a salon. There are at least four, maybe five, completely different roots that can all look identical on the surface. That's exactly why grabbing an estrogen blocker off the internet without knowing your actual cause can leave you worse off than when you started.I know this can feel like a lot. Heather made a comment that made me laugh because it's so true: your brain will absolutely convince you that fixing this is going to take way more time and effort than it actually will. But once you know your starting point, the changes are usually smaller and simpler than you think. One of my favorite moments in this episode is when we talk about seeing your symptoms as your body talking to you instead of your body being broken or working against you. That shift alone changes how you show up for yourself every single day.If you've been spinning your wheels trying every protocol on the internet and nothing sticks, this episode will help you understand why and give you a clearer starting point than another list of foods to eat.Press play and let's figure out what your body's actually been trying to tell you this whole time.CONNECT WITH DR.

Vad krävs för att våga lämna allt du känner till – och bygga ett liv på dina egna villkor?I det här avsnittet är Diamantis Koukouvinos, grundare av Doctor Diamantis, tillbaka i studion för att berätta om beslutet att lämna Sverige tillsammans med sin familj och välja ett liv som digitala nomader. Drömmen föddes redan under studietiden i Kina – men att faktiskt våga ta steget krävde flera år av hårt, målmedvetet arbete.Vi pratar om modet att förändra sitt liv när man inte vet vad som väntar på andra sidan. Om varför lekfullhet och lättsamhet lätt försvinner när prestation blir en livsstil – och om mäns psykiska hälsa i en tid där framgång ofta mäts i pengar, karriär och yta.Diamantis delar också sina perspektiv på kost, näringsbrister och hormonell hälsa. Vilka kosttillskott kan vara avgörande? Hur påverkar stress och kost fertilitet och PMS? Och varför behöver vården, enligt honom, gå från att enbart jaga ”normala” provvärden till att faktiskt sträva efter optimal hälsa?Ett personligt och tankeväckande samtal om frihet, mod, hälsa och konsten att våga leva mer på sina egna villkor – och om vad som egentligen döljer sig bakom orden: ”Jag mår bra.”Följ Diamantis härKöp boken Hjälp kroppen läka härLäs mer om Framgångsakademin här.Ta del av Framgångsakademins kurser.Beställ "Mitt Framgångsår".Följ Alexander Pärleros på Instagram.Följ Alexander Pärleros på Tiktok.Bästa tipsen från avsnittet i Nyhetsbrevet.

Most people think of drones as toys. Alden Jones thinks of them as infrastructure. In this episode of The Product Podcast, Carlos (CEO at Product School) visits Skydio's California office to sit down with Alden Jones, VP of Product at Skydio, the autonomous drone company building "flying robots" for public safety, defense, and infrastructure inspection. With a history degree and a military background (he was a truck-driving officer running supply convoys in Iraq) rather than an engineering one, Alden explains how a vertically integrated company of nearly 1,000 people builds everything in house, from chip-level design to hardware, embedded software, and cloud, and why autonomy, not just flight, is the real product.He breaks down Skydio's "Drone as First Responder" (DFR) program, where a drone often reaches the scene before human officers, and the outcomes dashboard cities use to track response times. He compares the economics against police helicopters (roughly $3,000 an hour to operate and $10-25M to buy), walks through the defense and tactical ISR use cases shaped by the war in Ukraine, and explains how thousands of cheaper camera drones could democratize air support while saving lives. He covers physical security (where 90-95% of alarms turn out to be false), the work of earning FAA trust to unlock groundbreaking waivers, and why Skydio's $3.5B, five-year investment in US and allied supply chains is funded by revenue instead of debt. He also opens up the product org itself: roughly 20 product managers across the entire stack, "strike teams" that work like forward-deployed engineers, and a customer-first culture where PMs are expected to go watch the robot fly in the real world.What you'll learn:Why Skydio calls its products "flying robots," and the "toys to tools to infrastructure" thesisWhat full vertical integration looks like: chip-down design to cloud, all in houseHow "Drone as First Responder" changes 911 response, tracked in a live outcomes dashboardThe real economics of drones vs. police helicoptersHow the war in Ukraine reshaped Skydio's thinking on tactical ISR and democratizing air supportWhy 90-95% of physical security alarms are false, and how autonomous drones clear them at near-zero marginal costHow Skydio earns FAA trust to fly beyond visual line of sight and win first-mover waiversWhy a $3.5B, five-year US manufacturing commitment is funded by revenue, not debtHow one pilot flying multiple drones becomes possible only through real autonomyHow Skydio runs product with ~20 PMs, "strike teams," and a customer-first org designWhy shipping hardware plus software (the Tesla comparison) shapes a roughly two-year program cycleConnect with Alden Jones, VP of Product, Skydio:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aldenljones/Host: Carlos, CEO at Product SchoolLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/villaumbrosia/About Skydio: Skydio is a US-based manufacturer of autonomous drones ("flying robots") for public safety, defense, security, and infrastructure inspection.

What if the anxiety, emotional sensitivity, and overwhelm you've experienced for years are actually connected to ADHD? On this episode of SHE MD, Mary Alice sits down with board-certified psychiatrist and ADHD specialist Dr. Sasha Hamdani to unpack why ADHD is so often missed or misdiagnosed in women.

It can affect emotions, relationships, sleep, eating, executive function, and everyday life.Women are frequently missed because they may present primarily with inattentive symptoms rather than the stereotypical hyperactive presentation.Hormonal changes can worsen ADHD symptoms, particularly when estrogen drops during the menstrual cycle, postpartum period, and perimenopause.Anxiety and depression can coexist with ADHD, but they can also be diagnoses that obscure underlying ADHD.Rejection sensitive dysphoria describes an intense emotional or physical response to real or perceived rejection or criticism and can be particularly disruptive for people with ADHD.Finding the right ADHD treatment is highly individualized. Medication can be one tool alongside behavioral strategies and other forms of support.Dr. Hamdani emphasizes that the goal of ADHD medication isn't to make someone feel “perfect,” but to provide consistent support that allows them to function more like they do on a good day.Emotional sensitivity isn't necessarily something that needs to be eliminated. The goal can be learning to better understand and regulate it.Guest Bio: Dr. Sasha HamdaniDr. Sasha Hamdani is a board-certified psychiatrist and ADHD specialist who has both personal and professional experience with ADHD. After being diagnosed with ADHD as a child, she went on to become a physician and now specializes in treating ADHD and helping patients better understand the condition beyond traditional symptoms of inattention and hyperactivity. She is also the author of Too Sensitive: Rejection, Resilience, and the Science of Feeling Deeply, which explores the neuroscience of emotional sensitivity, rejection, hormones, and practical tools for managing intense emotions.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Have you ever wondered what role the mind could play in treating women's health conditions? On this episode of BackTable Women's Health, host Dr. Nicole Faulkner interviews Dr. Sonia Gupte, a family medicine physician and board-certified clinical hypnotherapist, about how clinical hypnotherapy can help patients access the subconscious, resolve emotional barriers, and rewire patterns that affect both body and mind. Dr. Gupte discusses the use of hypnotherapy for a range of women's health concerns including PMS, postpartum depression, hot flashes, infertility, and chronic pelvic pain, highlighting the potential for more holistic care. --- Get the BackTable apphttps://www.backtable.com/app --- Timestamps 00:00 - Introduction 04:40 - Discovering Hypnotherapy08:59 - What a Session Looks Like13:02 - Remote Sessions and Results17:27 - Follow-Up and Maintenance20:13 - Women's Health Examples28:05 - Talking to Patients30:47 - Hypnosis vs. Therapy33:07 - Pap Smear Trauma Case37:28 - Breathwork Reset Tool42:42 - Uncovering Repressed Trauma46:17 - Burnout and Stress49:12 - Barriers to Success53:21 - Call To Action54:58 - Live Demo Plans55:50 - Closing Remarks --- More about this episode Dr. Gupte shares how her mother's experience with cancer, depression, and a suicide attempt inspired her to explore hypnotherapy and ultimately bring it into her medical practice. She describes what a typical hypnotherapy session involves, including relaxation, guided visualization, identifying emotional roots, and using protocols to help patients “reboot” their mental patterns. The discussion also covers practical aspects of integrating hypnotherapy into women's health care, such as determining treatment frequency, offering remote sessions, setting patient expectations, and addressing common barriers to success. --- Resources Within: Finding Yourself, Fixing What's Broken, & Finally Reclaiming True Health https://enso-nia.com/about-sonia/ --- BackTable Women's Health is the go-to podcast for gynecologists, gynecologic surgeons, and other healthcare professionals focused on women's health.

If you've suddenly become more forgetful, easily overwhelmed, anxious, irritable, or feel like your brain simply isn't working the way it used to, there's a physiological reason.Perimenopause isn't just about periods, hot flashes, or fertility. It's a major neurological and metabolic transition. Estradiol and progesterone influence your brain, nervous system, neurotransmitters, sleep, mood, memory, focus, and even how you respond to stress. When those hormones become unpredictable, your brain has to adapt too.You'll learn:Why perimenopause can feel like "PMS on steroids"How fluctuating estradiol affects memory, focus, mood, and motivationWhy word-finding, brain fog, anxiety, and overwhelm can suddenly show upHow progesterone and GABA influence that feeling of calmWhy these symptoms have real physiological explanationsSix foundational areas that can support your brain and body through this transition: nutrition, exercise, sleep, stress regulation, connection, and reducing toxin exposureUnderstanding what's happening won't make every symptom disappear, but it can replace some of the confusion with context—and help you better support your body through this season.I'm also sharing details about our FREE community screening of The M Factor II: Before the Pause on August 29 in the Jacksonville area.

Have you ever opened your supplement cabinet and thought, what have I done? Half a bottle of this, half a bottle of that, and you genuinely cannot remember why you bought most of it.If that's you, keep reading, because this episode is going to feel like a permission slip.I sat down with Lori Hammer, who works with moms on nervous system regulation, and we went back to some foundations we haven't touched in a while. The real, unglamorous, actually-works version. The kind that don't involve a $300 device or a fridge full of tinctures. She said something in this conversation that stopped me mid-sentence. She said the biggest thing keeping smart, well-educated women stuck isn't lack of information. It's that they keep trying new things instead of sticking with the basics long enough to see them work.I have absolutely been that woman.Here's what we cover:What nervous system regulation actually means, beyond feet up the wall and deep breathing (helpful, sure, but there's so much more underneath)Why your symptoms shift so dramatically between the first and second half of your cycle, and what's happening in your brain when that happensThe connection between screen time, sleep, and the sudden rise in adult women getting diagnosed with ADHD in their thirtiesWhat Lori does instead of blood work or urine testing, and why her clients feel the difference almost immediately The biohacking trend she watches backfire again and again, and who it's actually meant forWhy the urge to shop, hoard supplements, or chase the next fix might have way less to do with willpower and way more to do with your nervous systemOkay, let's talk about the cycle piece for a second, because I think this is the part that will make you feel the most seen.Lori and I talked about how the first half of the month tends to feel manageable, sometimes even great, and then the second half hits and suddenly you're snapping at your kids and wondering who just took over your body. She sees this constantly with the women she works with. Career going fine. Kids taken care of. Everything looking put together from the outside. And underneath all of it, she says, women are twisted up, forgetting things, hiding that they're forgetting things, wearing what she calls a really good mask.That good week or two you get every month, where you finally feel on top of it? She pointed out that it's not false. It's true, you really can hold it all together during that window. But it also tricks you into overcommitting, because you think you've cracked the code. Then the crash hits harder because you built more on top of an already shaky foundation.We also got into something I don't think gets talked about enough, which is how much of the "nervous system content" flooding your feed right now might actually be adding to the problem. Red light therapy, cold plunging, the latest stress supplement, the wearable that tracks everything. Lori's take was refreshingly blunt. None of these things are bad on their own, but if you're layering them on top of a body that doesn't have the basics in place, you're just adding more stress your system has to process. She said it plainly: sometimes these things are sandpaper to the nervous system.And if you've ever gotten an MTHFR result back and thought, this is it, this explains everything? She sees that a lot too, and gently, she doesn't think it's usually the whole story.What I really want you to sit with is this idea that your nervous system has to feel safe enough to actually let go of things, whether that's stored toxins, extra weight, or old patterns. If your body is still in overdrive, it will hold on tight no matter how many supplements or IVs you throw at it. Lori sees this constantly with clients who have spent thousands trying to detox while their nervous system is still sounding the alarm the whole time.There was a moment near the end where Lori said something I haven't stopped thinking about. A lot of the women she works with haven't tried everything; they just think they have. What they actually need is to pick one foundational piece, whatever's missing right now, and build from there instead of adding twenty seven things at once.If you've been in that cycle of trying, stopping, trying something new, and quietly wondering why nothing sticks, this one is going to feel like someone finally explaining the thing you couldn't quite put words to.So here's my challenge for you this week. Before you add one more thing to your routine, take a piece away instead. Pick the one thing that's felt like sandpaper lately and set it down. See what your body does when you give it room to breathe instead of one more thing to process.CONNECT WITH LAURIE:WebsiteInstagramNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

Periods aren't just about bleeding or fertility, they can offer important clues about your overall health. Yet millions of women are taught to put up with symptoms like painful periods, heavy bleeding and exhaustion, while social media is full of advice on hormone balancing, cycle syncing and ‘fixing' your hormones with little regard for the evidence.In this episode of Vision of Health, Dr Frankie sits down with Dr Hazel Wallace, former NHS doctor, registered nutritionist, founder of The Food Medic and bestselling author of 'The Female Factor' and 'Not Just a Period', to unpack what your menstrual cycle is really telling you.From recognising the signs that something isn't right to understanding how nutrition, movement and lifestyle can influence how you feel throughout the month, Hazel shares the science behind working with your cycle rather than fearing it.In this episode, we explore:- Why your menstrual cycle can be an important indicator of your overall health.- What actually happens throughout the menstrual cycle and why there's more to it than your period.- The menstrual symptoms that deserve investigation rather than being dismissed as ‘normal'.- What heavy bleeding, painful periods and irregular cycles can tell you.- How nutrition can support energy, PMS and menstrual health.- Why your gut can behave differently during your period.- What the evidence really says about cycle syncing and exercise.- How hormonal changes can affect mood, energy and body image.- PMS vs PMDD: when cyclical mood changes become something more serious.- The truth behind PillTok, hormonal contraception and common hormone myths.- What we know about ‘hormone disruptors', microplastics and fertility.- Why women's health inequalities persist and how to advocate for yourself when you don't feel heard.Your menstrual cycle is more than a monthly inconvenience. It's a potential monthly report card for your health.Understanding what's normal for you, recognising changes and knowing when to seek help can make it easier to advocate for your health, without getting pulled into the fear and misinformation that dominates so much of the online conversation around hormonesLearn more about Dr Hazel WallaceWebsite: https://www.thefoodmedic.co.uk/Instagram: @drhazelwallaceFollow Dr Frankie Jackson-SpenceInstagram: @drfrankiejshttps://www.instagram.com/drfrankiejs/Follow Vision of HealthInstagram: @visionofhealthpodhttps://www.instagram.com/visionofhealthpod/If you found this episode helpful, share it with someone who wants to better understand their periods, hormones and overall health.Hosted on Acast.

Are your hormones really the problem, or is your body missing the nutrients it needs to function properly? If you've accepted painful periods, PMS, mood swings, or low energy as "normal," this conversation may completely change the way you think about hormone health.  Joining me is Izzy Fischer, founder of DailyBasis, who shares the science behind cycle syncing nutrition and why women have different nutritional needs throughout the menstrual cycle. We cover the roles of estrogen and progesterone and why iron and B vitamins matter for women of all ages. You'll understand why foundational nutrition matters long before PMS symptoms become severe and how building healthy habits today can support hormonal resilience for years to come, especially in menopause.   "PMS is not normal. We should not all be in pain; we should be feeling relatively good most of the time." ~ Izzy Fischer   In This Episode: - Izzy's nutrition and entrepreneurship background - Nutrients that women need to optimize hormones - Estrogen and progesterone cycle explained - Core nutrients for women: Iron and vitamins - Why foundational nutrition matters from a young age - How DailyBasis supplements work for women - Testimonials and where to buy DailyBasis supplements   Products & Resources Mentioned: DailyBasis Supplements for Women: Get 30% off your first month of Cycle Routine at https://dailybasislife.superfiliate.com/MYERS or use code MYERS at checkout Fresh-Pressed Olive Oil: Try a full-size $39 bottle for just $1 to cover shipping at https://getfreshwendy.com   Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/  Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body.

The difference between being a researcher people rely on and a researcher people build withI have spent a lot of my career being the person who shows up to the meeting, sits at the table, and somehow still feels like a guest at it. You know the version of this, where everyone is aware research exists, they will happily call you when something needs validating, and yet none of the actual product decisions seem to happen anywhere near you. I have come to think this is one of the quietest career traps in our field, and I do not think we talk about it enough, so I sat down with Priyanka Kuvalekar, a Senior UX Researcher at Microsoft who leads research for Teams Calling and agentic AI experiences, to get into the part of the job that has nothing to do with method and everything to do with people.Priyanka has eight years in the field, a background as an architect before tech, and a way of describing cross-functional work that made me nod so hard I almost knocked the mic. This one is for anyone who has ever felt like the team's resident data nerd and wanted to be something more than that.What we get into:* A relationship means people know you are available, a partnership means people build with you. This was the line that organized the whole conversation for me. Priyanka draws the distinction cleanly by defining how a relationship is the PM passively knowing research exists and reaching for you when they want more of it, and a partnership is being invited into the room where the decisions actually happen, from the small “there's a bug, we need feedback” moments all the way up to “we have a brand new idea, where does research fit.” The shift she describes is from waiting to be invited to proactively shaping where the product is going, and I think a huge number of researchers are sitting in the relationship box right now without realizing there is another box entirely.* Sometimes the most strategic thing you can do is act like a therapist. Priyanka said she will literally sit with her cross-functional partners and work to understand what motivates them, what they are worried about, what keeps them up at night, where they see the product going, and what risks they genuinely want answers on. She called herself a therapist at one point, and I loved that, since the listening she is describing is not soft or passive, it is reconnaissance. When you actually know what your PM is afraid of and what your designers are carrying in terms of product history, you can position your research where it will land hardest, and you stop guessing at where to make an impact.* You get proactive by questioning the decision, not just delivering the study. The move Priyanka described that I want every researcher to steal is using the five whys on your own stakeholders. When a PM brings a decision built on generally available knowledge rather than verified sources, she asks why they are taking it, where the data came from, and what the consequences of being wrong actually are. She asks for the roadmap, the six-month plan, the reasoning behind the sequencing, and what comes out of that is the context you genuinely cannot make good calls without. The reframe here is knowing what your team is building for, not just what they have asked you to test.* The data does not change, the translation does. This is the one Priyanka named as her core takeaway, and it is the difference between a report that lands in a deck and a report that moves a decision. The same finding gets framed in tradeoffs and risk for PMs, in feasibility for engineers, and in business vision and risk-of-inaction for executive leadership, all without diluting what the research actually says. She pairs this with a research point of view in every report, where the insight comes with a recommendation, a severity rating, and a clear justification of why a high is a high and what happens if the team ignores it. Translating is not softening, it is meeting each person in the language they already think in.* Tell people how NOT to use your research, out loud, every time. This is the bit I have rarely heard anyone articulate as clearly as Priyanka did. She has watched teams take one insight out of an entire study and bend it into whatever they already wanted to do, and she has seen people pull inspiration from unrelated reports in other departments and treat it as evidence for their own product. Her answer is to keep evangelizing after the readout, give a clear TLDR of what the research says, and then state plainly what the research does not say. Disclaimers on how not to use the data sound almost paranoid until you have had a stakeholder cheerfully misquote you in a leadership meeting, and then they sound like the most reasonable thing in the world.* You can say no without saying no, and you can stay visible without becoming a yes-researcher. We both confessed to the same arc, going from reactive to overcommitted to burnt out, and Priyanka had the most practical fix I have heard for it. When her team was packed for four months on foundational work and the usability and “does this button work” requests kept coming, she opened a 30-minute weekly research office hour where designers could bring quick questions and she would help launch something low-lift on a testing platform, which built real goodwill without blowing up her roadmap. She pairs that with weekly check-ins where she shares even tiny progress, so the question her team asks shifts from “what is that researcher even doing” to “what is coming next from them,” and that small reframe is what buys her the time to do thorough work without disappearing for eight weeks at a stretch.None of this works as a one-time performance. The therapist conversations, the office hours, the weekly progress updates, the disclaimers on every readout, all of it is maintenance work that you have to keep doing even on the weeks you are slammed and would rather hide behind a study. Priyanka has been sharing weekly updates for over a year, and I think that consistency is the actual product, not any single clever framing. If you take one thing from this episode, take the relationship-to-partnership distinction, and then go do the unglamorous, repeated work that earns the second one.Watch or listen to the full conversation above.

Cycle syncing changed my life — it got me through infertility, early motherhood, and the collision of postpartum and perimenopause with my last baby. So watching it get dismissed online, sometimes by health providers themselves, doesn't sit right with me. In this episode, I breaks down where the criticism of cycle syncing is actually fair, where it misses the point entirely, and why the loudest voices on both sides are overstating their certainty. Most importantly, I share why body attunement matters even more than the science.In this episode I explore:Why cycle syncing went from "life-changing" to "unproven" in the cultural conversation almost overnightWhere the critics are right: rigidity, oversimplified claims, and the gap between what's proven and what's promisedA real study on follicular-vs-luteal phase strength training Why women's bodies have been left out of decades of research, and what that means for how we talk about hormone scienceHow attunement (not rigid rule-following) is what actually made cycle syncing work in my own lifeResources:The Period Brain by Dr. Sarah E.

I have something SO amazing for you. Our mineral-heavy water started impacting my skin the moment we moved, and I had never experienced eczema or skin issues in my life. Hard water can strip natural oils, disrupt the microbiome, and weaken the skin barrier — leaving you inflamed, reactive, and stuck in flare-ups. That's exactly what happened to my neck, and within almost two weeks of using Herbal Face Food, my eczema is almost gone. This stuff is legit — and I only share my favorite things that actually work. Their formulas are made with ultra-potent, organic, whole-plant botanicals rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytonutrients that calm inflammation, rebuild the skin barrier, and fight visible signs of aging instead of masking symptoms. The Cure is their most targeted antioxidant treatment designed to visibly improve stubborn concerns like eczema, melasma, rosacea, scarring, sun damage, and deeper signs of aging. The Cream is a deeply hydrating, ultra-potent botanical moisturizer that firms, smooths, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The Soap gently cleanses without stripping, using powerful plant concentrates to protect, nourish, and support healthy, youthful-looking skin on both the face and body.

We're kicking off a new series with a very timely question: what does product management look like in the age of AI? In this first episode, Matt and Moshe set the stage for *First Principles and Beyond for Product Managers in the Age of AI*, exploring how PM work is changing, what should stay human, and where AI can genuinely help. The conversation ranges from Matt's work implementing software for government agencies to Moshe's hands-on experiments with AI coding tools like Cursor, Kirk, and Claude Code. Along the way, they dig into the tension between speed and judgment, debate what “product sense” really means, and start shaping the core theme of the series: identifying the first principles of product management before layering AI on top. Join Matt and Moshe as they explore: - How product management is evolving as AI becomes part of the workflow - Why human-centered value delivery still matters, even when tools can generate work faster - What “product sense” means in practice, and whether it can be defined as a set of first principles   - Experiments with AI coding tools, local development, and the possibilities of building faster with more leverage - The idea of using AI to augment product work without removing human judgment from the loop - Bring it to the audience by polling where PMs should remain involved, and where AI can take more of the load - And much more!

This week, Tee is joined by Kristal Godin, a Women's Health & Hormone Coach, certified Naturotherapist, Menstrual Cycle Educator, and founder of the Happy Hormone Collective, a supportive space where women learn how to care for their bodies in a way that feels sustainable, nourishing, and aligned. After navigating her own journey with chronic stress and an autoimmune condition, Kristal discovered that true healing wasn't about restriction or perfection but about understanding the body, supporting it with intention, and working with it instead of against it. In this episode, Kristal explains why symptoms like chronic fatigue, PMS, poor sleep, mood swings, and brain fog should never be dismissed as "normal." She shares how stress hormones and blood sugar regulation create the foundation for healthy hormones and discusses practical ways to support cortisol, insulin, thyroid function, and overall endocrine health. Tee and Kristal also explore how chronic stress, nutrient deficiencies, hormonal birth control, and modern lifestyles can quietly disrupt hormone balance while emphasizing the importance of addressing root causes instead of simply masking symptoms. The conversation also dives into one of Tee's favorite topics, environmental toxins and endocrine-disrupting chemicals hiding in everyday products. Kristal explains how fragrances, plastics, cosmetics, cleaning products, and personal care items can interfere with the body's hormonal communication system and offers simple, affordable swaps that anyone can begin making today. Together, they discuss reading ingredient labels, avoiding greenwashing, using helpful resources like Yuka and the Environmental Working Group, and why progress, not perfection, is the key to reducing toxic load. Whether you're struggling with hormone imbalances, looking to improve your energy and sleep, or simply wanting to make healthier choices for yourself and your family, this episode provides practical strategies you can begin implementing immediately.

As building gets easier and almost anyone can ship an app in an afternoon, what actually separates a product leader who creates leverage from one who doesn't?In this special live episode of Supra Insider, recorded on stage at the Toronto Product Conference, Marc Baselga sits down with Colin Matthews, Head of Education for Lenny's Newsletter and a former founder, PM, and longtime hobbyist builder. Marc lays out a thesis that the best way to prepare for the AI era is to build a real side project, one with actual users and ideally revenue, and Colin pressure-tests it with the framework he uses himself: start with distribution, then work backward to the customers and problems you can reach.They explore the blurring lines between product, engineering, and design, why the code review bar stays the same no matter who writes the code, when to ship a PR versus a prototype versus a spec, why Colin uses AI for comprehension rather than raw velocity, and the two distribution paths he has actually seen work for solo builders.If you're a PM wondering which skills matter most next, a product leader trying to get your team building, or anyone who keeps starting side projects that never find users, this episode is for you.Huge thanks to Balaji Gopalan, Andrew Williams, and the team at The Toronto Product Conference for hosting us.All episodes of the podcast are also available on Spotify, Apple and YouTube.New to the pod?

What would happen if your Risk Management File disappeared tomorrow?Would your medical device suddenly become less safe?For many organizations, the answer is probably no—because the file was created to document decisions after they were made, rather than guiding those decisions in the first place.In this episode of the Medical Device Made Easy Podcast, we challenge the traditional view of risk management and explore why ISO 14971 should be treated as a continuous decision-making framework—not simply a regulatory requirement.What You'll LearnIs Your Risk Management File Driving Design?Risk management should begin at the earliest stages of product development.Instead of documenting completed work, it should actively influence design choices, identify hazards, evaluate risks, and verify that risk control measures are effective throughout development.Common Signs Your Risk File Is Becoming FictionMany organizations unintentionally weaken their risk management process by:Reusing generic hazard lists from previous projectsCompleting risk documentation just before certificationFailing to connect hazards with design decisionsTreating the Risk Management File as a static document instead of a living processRisk Management Is a Cross-Functional ResponsibilityEffective risk management isn't owned solely by Quality or Regulatory Affairs.Engineering, Clinical Affairs, Manufacturing, Service, Post-Market Surveillance, and Customer Support all generate valuable information that should continuously improve the organization's understanding of product risk.Why Traceability MattersStrong traceability allows organizations to answer critical questions:Why was this hazard identified?Which design decision addressed it?How was the risk control verified?Does new PMS or complaint data change our understanding of the risk?Would we make the same decision today?When these connections are visible, risk management becomes a practical engineering tool rather than a compliance exercise.Keeping Your Risk Management File AliveCertification is not the end of risk management.Complaints, vigilance reports, supplier changes, software updates, PMCF findings, literature reviews, and post-market surveillance all provide new information that should feed back into your risk assessment.Organizations that continuously update their Risk Management File are better equipped to identify emerging risks, improve product safety, and support long-term regulatory compliance.Key TakeawayA Risk Management File should never exist simply to satisfy auditors or Notified Bodies.Its real purpose is to demonstrate how risk-based thinking influences every important design decision throughout the product lifecycle.The strongest organizations don't maintain a perfect document.They maintain a living risk management process—one that evolves as new knowledge is gained and continuously helps make medical devices safer for patients.Social Media to followMonir El Azzouzi Linkedin: https://linkedin.com/in/melazzouziTwitter: https://twitter.com/elazzouzimPinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/easymedicaldeviceInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/easymedicaldeviceThis podcast is hosted by Podcastics, the easiest platform to create and publish your podcast.

Gil Chan posted about hyperlocal property management, using VueStay Vacations, a newly launched company with 4,500 homes across eight states, built on centralized revenue management and marketing through the Casago franchise network, as his example. Richard Vaughton replied that hyperlocal is as much about owner relationships as local market knowledge, and that the relationship piece is increasingly getting forgotten. That comment is where this conversation begins. Heather's guest is Richard Vaughton, a short-term rental consultant with close to thirty years in the industry and a career built on starting, scaling, and selling companies: an Italian rental business grown to roughly 800 properties, a UK company in Torquay, a PMS technology startup, and a VP role at Stay Alfred during its collapse in the pandemic. The two have known each other for more than twenty years, and this is an unscripted, fireside-style conversation rather than a structured interview. Listeners will come away with a clearer, more operational definition of hyperlocal, a look at why some of the industry's best-known roll-ups have failed while others have scaled successfully by staying local, and a reminder that the piece of this business that most often determines a guest's review, and an owner's trust, is not technology or marketing. It is cleaning. Key Takeaways Hyperlocal is an operating decision, not a marketing word: it means real local staff, a genuine local reputation, and a company culture rooted in one place, not a national brand run by a distant account manager. The owner, not the guest, is the most important person in the ecosystem. Without a well cared-for owner there is no polished product to offer a guest in the first place. Large-scale roll-ups have historically broken at the point where they centralize everything beyond accounts and revenue management, while UK consolidators like Sykes Cottages, Awaze, and Travel Chapter have grown large by staying hyperlocal at a national scale, keeping local offices and local staff as they expanded. AI is freeing up enough staff time that teams can spend it on relationship-building rather than admin, such as calling every guest and owner after checkout with nothing to sell, just a thank you. Culture, trust, and local relationships are the parts of this business that resist mechanization. Reporting, revenue management, and communication can be automated; the relationship at the center of it still has to be built by a person. ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Most subjects of a recent study who slept on pads connected to the ground, as part of an earthing protocol, gained significant relief from arthritis, asthma, PMS, sleep apnea and hypertension. We're a generation that's uniquely separated from the Earth. We spend much of our lives in cars, we live in high-rises, and spend the majority of our days working indoors. Why does this matter? Because we're electric beings who actually need the negative ions from standing in the ground, the ocean and even on rocks to support our health outcomes. In this episode Doctor Chris Motley explains why we need negative ions from the ground, the dirt and the sea to help our bodies ward off illness, why this health trend is actually an ancient (and free!) form of medicine, and the two most important things to keep in mind if you're shopping grounding mats. Whether you're a skeptic or a true believer, try sinking your bare feet in the ground at some point during your week. It's easy, free and it can't hurt to get the benefits of spending time outdoors. In this episode you'll learn: You don't need to buy anything to practice grounding. This is a free and easy protocol that every human being has access to. How our bodies follow electrical patterns (even as embryos!) which is why we need negatively charged ions from the earth that support our health. Negative ions in the body help energize our mitochondria and detoxify our bodies. What the research on grounding has found and what it hasn't. The benefits of grounding and earthing for your nervous system. How PEMF mats support your blood flow. How the earth has proven frequencies like the Schumann Resonance that lower blood pressure and encourage parasympathetic tone. How to avoid parasites while sinking your feet into the dirt. If grounding pads and mats are worth it and two of the most important things to keep an eye out for when shopping for them. How the modern idea of grounding actually taps into the ancient Chinese Medicine tradition of rooting in Qigong. The kidney points responsible for pulling those electric charges up through your body.

If you've ever wondered whether your emotions are trying to tell you something or just trying to start a fight, then listen up. This week, Jordana and Dr. Naomi dive into the surprising ways hormones can shape our relationships, from motherhood and perimenopause to the emotional rollercoaster of PMS. They help an Oversharer navigate the complicated mix of grief and relief after a miscarriage and unpack whether the voices behind fear should be used as guidance. Then they tend to a Betchesist who's struggling to understand why her long-term boyfriend won't share his location and ask themselves: Have we turned ourselves into Big Brother? This week's Triggered sparks a debate over whether public speakerphone conversations are ever acceptable and whether a surprise three-week visit from the in-laws is thoughtful or completely boundary-crossing.

Quick question before we dive in: when's the last time you actually checked in with your body and asked, "Do I feel safe right now?"Not "am I busy" or "am I productive" or "did I check everything off my list." Just safe. Because here's what I know for sure after years of doing this work with women: you cannot have real hormone balance without your body feeling safe first. Not once you fix your gut or once life calms down. First.So today I'm handing you seven (make that eight) small, doable shifts you can start using this afternoon that tell your nervous system "hey, we're okay", so your hormones can stop bracing and start actually working.Here's a taste of what's inside this episode:The one prayer verse I go back to every time I feel unsafe, and why saying it out loud changes something in my bodyA gratitude trick involving fingernails that sounds silly until you try itWhy morning sunlight might be doing more for your hormones than anything in your supplement cabinetThe 20-second thing I put under my tongue when my emotions start spikingWhat "explosive movement" actually means and why it's nothing like another workout on your to-do listThe declaration I say out loud with my kids that's rewiring all our brains at the same timeI know some of these are going to sound almost too simple. You'll hear "walk outside" and think, come on Leisha, I know that already. Sure, maybe you know it. Have you done it today, though?This episode isn't another thing to add to your overwhelming list. It's proof, small and tangible, given to your body over and over, that it's allowed to soften. Your body is always paying attention. It notices if you're tense or loose, if you're holding your breath or letting it go, if you're stuffing a feeling down or actually giving it thirty seconds to exist. And it responds to all of it. Your hormones respond to all of it too.If you feel like you're doing everything right and your hormones are still all over the place, this might be the piece nobody's ever pointed you to. You can eat clean, take every supplement, track your cycle down to the day, and still feel like a wreck if your body never got the message that it's safe. I've watched this play out with client after client. I've watched it play out in my own house.There's a part in this episode where I admit that holding onto my emotions instead of feeling them is basically my default setting. If you pride yourself on being "fine" all the time, on holding it together and not making a big deal out of things, you'll probably recognize yourself here. This is a nudge to stop white knuckling through hard feelings and actually let them move.I also talk about why comfort isn't always the goal. I quote an old workout instructor yelling to get comfortable with being uncomfortable, and it applies here more than you'd think. Feeling safe doesn't mean feeling good every second. It means trusting yourself to survive the discomfort without falling apart. Once you feel that kind of safety, you notice its absence everywhere else.I say this more than once in the episode, and I mean it every time: you don't need all seven of these. Pick one. The salt under your tongue trick. Getting outside before you touch your phone. Saying "I am safe" out loud in your car before a hard conversation. Small shifts stack up on each other faster than you'd expect.And if you've ever felt like your hormones are some unsolvable mystery and your mood swings are just something to grit your teeth through every month, this episode hands you a completely different way to look at the whole thing.So here's my challenge for you. Pick one shift from this list, just one, and try it today before you even finish your coffee. Text a friend and tell her which one you picked. Then text her again in a week and tell her what changed. Sometimes the smallest promise, made out loud to another person, is what actually gets a shift to stick.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE:PMS To Peace Private PodcastNEED HELP FIXING YOUR HORMONES?

In part one, Dr. Liz Bartman and I broke down why PMDD happens: the histamine surges, the GABA receptor glitch, the progesterone metabolite that either calms you down or completely wrecks you depending on your unique biology. If you haven't listened to that one yet, start there, because this episode builds directly on it. Now we get into the part everyone actually wants to know: what do you do about it? We talk about why popular fixes like DAO supplements and strict low histamine diets usually fall short, and what to focus on instead, starting with your gut, your liver, and your nervous system. Dr. Liz walks through her actual clinical protocols, including specific nutrients, herbs, and the EndoAccess formulas she uses with patients who have histamine overload, progesterone sensitivity, or both. We also get into the harder conversations: when a 5-alpha reductase inhibitor might help women who are pushing too much allopregnanolone, what's really going on hormonally for women hitting perimenopause with worsening PMDD, and yes, when birth control or even an SSRI might actually be the safest, most compassionate choice, even for someone who leans natural. Dr. Liz makes a case that will challenge how you think about "first, do no harm." This episode is about giving you an actual roadmap, not just information. Because once you understand your own biology, from part one, you can finally stop guessing and start treating the right thing. In This Episode, We Cover: Why DAO supplements and strict low histamine diets usually don't solve the problem long term The gut, liver, and nervous system focused approach Dr. Liz uses first with patients Key nutrients and antioxidants for calming histamine and neuroinflammation, including glutathione support, sulforaphane, green tea, pomegranate, curcumin, NAC, and glycine Why alcohol is one of the biggest hidden disruptors of histamine clearance and hormone balance Specific probiotic strains, including lactobacillus plantarum, and their surprising role in GABA receptor expression The EndoAccess formulas Dr. Liz uses clinically for histamine support and for progesterone sensitive PMDD, including early results from a small group of patients What 5-alpha reductase inhibition is, how it relates to allopregnanolone, and when it may help Why perimenopausal women can suddenly develop worse PMDD, and the surprising role of testosterone, insulin, and FSH The honest conversation about birth control, newer options, and when it may be the safest choice for severe PMDD Where SSRIs fit in, including luteal phase only dosing and what to support alongside them Why the nervous system piece is the part most women skip, and why it may be the most important one Who This Episode Is For This is for women who now understand why they're struggling, from part one, and want an actual plan. It's for anyone who has tried supplements or progesterone with no luck and felt like they were out of options. It's especially for women in perimenopause noticing their PMDD or PMS getting dramatically worse, and for anyone who has felt conflicted about whether birth control or an SSRI could ever be the "right" choice for them.     Sponsors Join the Midlife Women's Peptide Program today and get started for less than $200 a month!

What if the reason so many women feel exhausted, anxious, disconnected, and overwhelmed… has nothing to do with a lack of willpower?In this episode, I sit down with holistic women's and menstrual health expert Nicole Bendayan to explore the truth about hormones, birth control, cycle tracking, feminine energy, fertility, and the wisdom of the female body.For decades, women have been taught to suppress symptoms instead of understand them. Painful periods, hormonal imbalances, burnout, mood swings, PMS, anxiety, and disconnection have become so common that many women believe they're normal.But what if they're not?In this conversation, we dive deep into the menstrual cycle, why women were never meant to feel the same every day, the impact of hormonal birth control, how modern life disconnects women from their natural rhythm, and what it means to truly work with your body instead of against it.You'll learn how hormones influence energy, emotions, relationships, intuition, confidence, attraction, and overall well-being. We also discuss what men need to understand about women, how to support a partner through different phases of her cycle, and why reconnecting to the feminine may be one of the most important health conversations of our time.This conversation is eye-opening, empowering, controversial, and deeply healing.Whether you're a woman looking to better understand your body or a man wanting to better understand the women in your life, this episode is a must-listen.

Do your friends ask you, “what's a good herb for…” IBS, or PMS, or fibromyalgia, or whatever is bugging them? If you've ever struggled to answer such a request, you're not alone. It's not just about the difficulty of the pathology, though – it's also about the complexity of the person, and the variability between people.Everyone thinks they can ask “what's a good herb for IBS” and that you should have the answer. (Oops, you might even be thinking about an answer right now!) The question to ask right alongside such a thought is this: is that answer appropriate for the person asking? Remember, every body is different!As herbalists, we need a lot more information than just the name of the problem.One of our favorite mottoes around here is: “people don't take the names of herbs”. It means that you're not giving a good answer if a person asks “what's a good herb for migraines” and you respond “feverfew”. You've left out tons of important details: form, dose, timing, duration, formulation… the list goes on.The other side of the equation would be “people don't take herbs for the names of their symptoms”, or their discomforts, or their diagnoses. There are no “herbs for IBS” in the abstract, or in every individual case.Examples make this point most clearly, so this week's episode of the Holistic Herbalism Podcast is us talking through five different examples of people asking for help with health problems. We describe how we would break those problems down so that we can figure out what the right answer is for them, specifically – not for “someone”, generally.What would we ask first to get a foothold on the issue? What would we observe, and ask the client to observe, as we work to figure out the information we need? How would we construct a protocol and a set of health experiments that will actually help them? Listen in to hear us talk through the process in several different cases.Everything's on sale in July!All our offerings are self-paced online video courses.
