Physician and coach Jessie Mahoney discusses her article "Stepping down in medicine is an evolution." In this episode, Jessie challenges the cultural belief that stepping down from medical roles is a sign of weakness, reframing it instead as "graduating." She explains how physicians often hold onto positions out of fear, habit, or identity attachment, even after the role no longer fuels them. Jessie shares how recognizing restlessness, depletion, or loss of joy can serve as invitations to evolve rather than warnings of failure. She introduces tools like Martha Beck's Body Compass to guide decision-making and advocates for normalizing transitions as a courageous act that benefits both physicians and their colleagues. Listeners will learn how letting go before burnout can open space for new growth, fulfillment, and trust in the medical community. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

What do you do when your hot‑girl era turns into a medical horror story?

The big picture on rural healthcare is grim. Doctors are retiring. Hospitals are closing. There's a lack of mental health care providers across the board. Plus, rural health facilities rely disproportionately on Medicaid reimbursement to stay afloat — and that program is facing $1 trillion in cuts thanks to President Trump's self-titled Big Beautiful Bill. But if you zoom in to individual communities, the picture is tinged with determination. While they admit to discouragement, leaders are trying to find new ways to pay for needed health care, and concerned citizens are stepping forward to help each other. Kerri Miller heard that and more in Owatonna, at the final Rural Voice town hall of the season. Rural Voice in Owatonna Southern Minnesotans gathered on Sept. 29 at Mineral Springs Brewery to share personal stories of long waits to see doctors, of their hometowns losing cherished hospitals, of children in crisis with no therapists available to help. But they also shared ideas about how to face the challenges ahead, like public health and the private sector forming new partnerships, and community groups innovating to make sure health care is accessible and affordable.

Veteran attorney Dennis Hursh discusses his article "Private practice employment agreements: What happens if private equity swoops in?" In this episode, Dennis explains how private equity acquisitions of medical practices complicate the traditional path for employed physicians who expect eventual ownership.

Sally Wolf is back in the studio and this time we left cancer at the door. She turned 50, brought a 1993 Newsday valedictorian article as a prop, and sat down with me for a half hour of pure Gen X therapy. We dug into VHS tracking, Red Dawn paranoia, Michael J. Fox, Bette Midler, and how growing up with no helmets and playgrounds built over concrete somehow didn't kill us.We laughed about being Jewish kids in the suburbs, the crushes we had on thirty-year-olds playing teenagers, and what it means to hit 50 with your humor intact. This episode is part nostalgia trip, part roast of our own generation, and part meditation on the privilege of being alive long enough to look back at it all. If you ever watched Different Strokes “very special episodes” or had a Family Ties lunchbox, this one's for you.RELATED LINKSSally Wolf Official WebsiteSally Wolf on LinkedInSally Wolf on InstagramCosmopolitan Essay: “What It's Like to Have the ‘Good' Cancer”Oprah Daily: “Five Things I Wish Everyone Understood About My Metastatic Breast Cancer Diagnosis”Allure Breast Cancer Photo ShootTom Wilson's “Stop Asking Me the Question” SongFEEDBACKLike this episode?

Trending with Timmerie - Catholic Principals applied to today's experiences.
In this episode of Trending with Timmerie, Timmerie speaks with Dr. Susan Caldwell, a Catholic OB-GYN who specializes in NaPro Technology – a groundbreaking approach to women’s health that finds and treats the root causes of infertility instead of masking symptoms. Dr. Caldwell shares the story of a woman told she could “never have children without IVF.” After beginning NaPro charting with the Creighton Model System, doctors discovered endometriosis that traditional fertility clinics had overlooked. Through specialized NaPro surgery and hormonal support, that same woman welcomed a healthy baby girl – no IVF required. Dr. Caldwell explains how NaPro-trained surgeons differ from typical OB-GYNs: they don’t just burn away lesions; they remove the full disease, often working with urologists or bowel specialists to restore the body’s natural design. She and Timmerie stress that many women are misdiagnosed or given birth control instead of real answers – and that NaPro offers hope, healing, and authentic care that honors a woman’s fertility rather than shutting it down. For women struggling with infertility, painful cycles, or endometriosis, this conversation offers a faith-based, medically sound alternative that respects both life and health.

This may be the ultimate systems thinking interview. Beyond building science at the site scale, this is systems thinking to save the world. Gail Vittori and Pliny Fisk III have their fingerprints all over the structural ideologies for ways of thinking that underlie what we now think of as the fields of sustainability, greenbuilding, indoor health and well-being and more. Enjoy this thoughtful unpacking of ideas that span from systems thinking at the scale of the planet to human society to industry, products and materials. If you're not familiar with Pliny Fisk III and Gaily Vittori, Max's Pot, the Center for Maximum Potential Building Systems, or the Global Dreamlab, it's about damn time that you are. Buckle up and enjoy this wild and fascinating ride with two of the brightest early lights in environmental sustainability in the AEC and beyond.Pliny Fisk IIIPliny Fisk III is a pivotal figure in the sustainability movement, whose career in architecture, landscape architecture, and the systems sciences spans more than four decades. He has dedicated his career to developing replicable prototypes, protocols, and policy initiatives that challenge conventional wisdom in building design, engineering, materials, and planning. His seminal life cycle-based protocols helped shape the first green building programs, and he collaborated on federal efforts like the Greening of the White House and the Greening of the Grand Canyon. He is also an inventor and the CEO and founder of two technology companies, Sustainable Earth Technologies and the EcoInventorium.Pliny's influence extends into academia and policy, having held faculty positions at several major universities and served as an advisor to foundations like MacArthur and Gates. His policy initiatives include the Austin Green Building Program and the AIA's Environmental Resource Guide, establishing new protocols with broad implementation. His impact has earned him numerous honors, including The Lewis Mumford Award and the U.S. Green Building Council's Sacred Tree Award. Pliny has been recognized by Metropolis Magazine as a Visionary and by Texas Monthly as one of “35 People Who Will Shape Our Future.”Gail VittoriGail Vittori leads a life of discovery, of adventure, of collaborating with incredible people and finding opportunities to make a little bit of a movement of the needle on things that she is passionate about. Gail has been a key force in advancing green building policies, protocols, and prototypes at the local, state, and national levels, with a particular emphasis on the critical link between sustainable design and human health1. In 1989 she developed the initial conceptual framework for what would become the City of Austin's Green Builder Program, recognized as the first green building program globally. Building on this foundational work, she went on to convene the Green Guide for Health Care in 2001, an initiative that catalyzed a revolution in the design, construction, and operations of healthcare facilities. Her expertise led her to serve as the Founding Chair of the LEED for Healthcare committee from 2004 to 2008, and she also co-authored Sustainable Healthcare Architecture.Gail has held several influential leadership positions in the sustainable building community. She served on the USGBC Board of Directors from 2002 to 2010, including a term as Board Chair in 20095. She also dedicated eight years to the Green Business Certification Inc. (GBCI) Board of Directors from 2011 to 2019, where she served as Board Chair from 2013 to 2019. Currently, she is the Vice-Chair of the Health Product Declaration Collaborative Board of Directors.
