What if the career you trained for didn't have to feel like a countdown to retirement? Today's guest turned professional dissatisfaction and a family health scare into the motivation she needed to build a private practice that truly serves her life, not the other way around. I'm so excited to share her story with you!I'm introducing you to Bianca Gizzi Fusco, a certified Speech-Language Pathologist and the founder of BG Speech Therapy, a private practice serving families in Woburn, Massachusetts.Bianca's path to speech-language pathology wasn't a straight line. She actually started out wanting to be a teacher but quickly realized she didn't enjoy the large groups and the rigid, over-planned structure of the classroom. While working as a paraprofessional in a preschool during graduate school where she was studying to become a reading specialist she discovered something she'd never even heard of before: speech therapy. It piqued her interest immediately, seeming to combine so many of her passions. So she took the necessary prerequisite classes, applied to grad school for speech, and never looked back.After earning her degree, Bianca started working in a middle school, the very one she attended as a child. She liked it at first, but she never loved it. And as the years went on, she became increasingly unhappy. She started questioning whether she was even good at her job, and whether she had chosen the right profession at all.One thing she noticed in the public schools haunted her: the constant question from colleagues, "How many years do you have left?" always referring to retirement. That question, she says, was deeply depressing. She knew she didn't want the best part of her career to be the end of it.Then came the turning point. During COVID, Bianca's father was hospitalized for a month and nearly didn't make it. She took time off work to help her mom run their family business while her dad was ill. That year, watching her family navigate a crisis, she had a reckoning: Life is too precious to have my career be a countdown to the end of it. With the support of her husband and parents who encouraged her with "Just take the course, what's the worst that can happen?" She signed up for the Start Your Private Practice course and never looked back.Today, Bianca runs a thriving clinic with a physical location specializing in working with young children, focusing on speech sound disorders, Gestalt language processors, early language development, and stuttering, a manageable caseload, and a schedule that prioritizes time with her two young sons. She sees clients back-to-back on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays and Saturday mornings. She's at capacity not because she has to be, but because she chooses to be. And right now, that feels exactly right.Bianca's story is proof that private practice doesn't have to look like a big, multi-disciplinary clinic with a long waitlist and a full staff unless that's what you want. For her, success looks like flexibility, balance, and the ability to say "not right now" to hiring, while still building a profitable and fulfilling practice.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:How to start small and use a stepwise approach to build your caseload without quitting your day jobWhy your idea of "success" in private practice can and should change with the seasons of your lifeHow to use a cancellation list to fill your schedule without needing to hire staffBianca is living proof that you don't have to be a Type-A and don't have to be a brick and mortar owner to succeed in private practice. She calls herself a Type B+ SLP somewhere in between and that's exactly what works for her. Her favorite part of private practice? It swings with where she is in life. And that's something no pension can buy.Her story does not have to be the exception. You, too, can build the private practice of your dreams, whether that means a full clinic, a part-time side business, or something in between.If you're ready to stop waiting and start building a practice that's truly aligned with your goals, Private Practice School is here to help. We start with a Personalized Private Practice Plan and then give you the tools, such as the Life First calendar and our Numbers Made Simple Calculators, and me in your corner every week, whether you're opening the doors or growing what you've already built.Please visit www.PrivatePracticeSchool.com to learn more, and follow me on Instagram @independentclinician for more tips, inspiration, and resources to support your private practice journey.Resources Mentioned:Follow Bianca onInstagram: instagram.com/bgspeechtherapy/ Facebook: BG Speech Therapy LLCCheck out her website: www.bgspeechtherapy.comWhere We Can Connect:Follow the Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/private-practice-success-stories/id1374716199Follow Me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/independentclinician/Follow Me on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/jena.castrocasbon/
Adam is off to Bedfordshire for a day at Woburn Safari Park, and he has landed one of the park's very special VIP experiences. That means getting far closer to the animals than most visitors ever manage, including the moment he gets to feed the giraffes...Woburn comes in two halves. On the Road Safari you stay in the car and drive slowly through the reserves, with rhino, bears, tigers, lions, zebra, monkeys and elephants on the other side of the window, and you can go round as many times as you like. Then you park up for the Foot Safari, where there are walk-through enclosures, keeper talks and feeding demonstrations through the day, and animals including lemurs, meerkats, sea lions and penguins. There is plenty besides the animals too, from the Great Woburn Railway to the Mammoth Play Ark indoor play area and the Go Ape treetop course.The park is open every day, with last entry at 5pm and the gates closing at 6pm.Find out more by searching for Woburn Safari Park.Join Fun Kids Podcasts+: https://funkidslive.com/plusSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailSeason 6 begins with one of my favorite conversations yet.This week, I'm joined by a favorite travel partner—my daughter, Chiara.At 21 years old, she's old enough to look back on a childhood filled with ski racing, family ski trips, endless weekends in the mountains, and now our annual mother-daughter adventures exploring America's national parks.Like so many moms, I've spent years packing the car, replacing outgrown ski boots, planning trips, and wondering if my kids would someday appreciate all the effort that goes into creating these experiences.In this conversation, I finally get my answer.We talk about what it was really like growing up skiing, the lessons ski racing taught her about resilience and hard work, and why she still chooses to travel with me as a young adult. We also share highlights from our recent trip to Acadia National Park, including favorite hikes, biking the famous carriage roads, where we stayed, and the small traditions that make our adventures so memorable. And this is the bag we mention.If you're spending your weekends driving to ski races, hauling gear, convincing little legs to keep hiking, or wondering whether all this effort is making a difference, I hope this conversation reminds you that it is.The memories you're creating today don't end when your kids turn 18.Don't miss the Annual Tent Sale, happening August 7th through 9th at the Woburn store only.

In this fascinating episode, explore how the Exclusive Remedy Rule works in the real and evolving world of Workers' Compensation law. A recent case in Washington State, the Teela Bauer case, challenges the traditional exchange of employer civil protections for worker compensation in the case of workplace harm. This is an interesting case as it involves an employee's exposure to chemicals which may have led to the employee's child's birth defects. So, was there a workplace injury? Or is the company liable for something that went beyond the visible, definable workplace injury? Can the worker sue for something that may have started in the workplace but didn't occur there? All good questions. The unborn child didn't work for the employer. The parent wasn't physically injured in the traditional sense at the workplace. But the plaintiff asserts the chemicals used on the job led to biological damage that led to the birth defects of the conceived child. Now the question is whether the traditional Exclusive Remedy doctrine precludes the parents from bringing a separate lawsuit against the employer. It gets complicated in a hurry. The worker wasn't visibly injured, but the non-employee child has suffered some harm. Workers' Compensation law is an ever-evolving thing. Cases occasionally challenge what we thought we knew. Will the Teela Bauer case change the Exclusive Remedy Rule? Will legislation follow? It's fascinating. If you have thoughts on Workers' Comp law or an idea for a topic or guest you'd like to hear, contact us at JPierce@ppnlaw.com or APierce@ppnlaw.com.

What happens when deep expertise meets a business model designed around better client outcomes? In this episode of It's Your Offer, I'm joined by my client Kim Suvak Warden, nurse practitioner and founder of The Klinic by KSW Medical Aesthetics, a full-service medical aesthetics practice with locations in Woburn and Winchester, Massachusetts. Kim's approach to aesthetics is unlike the traditional "turn and burn" med spa model. Her work is rooted in skin health, prevention, education, and helping clients feel confident in a way that looks natural, aligned, and deeply personalized. But this conversation is also about business growth. Over the last year of working together, Kim has doubled her revenue, opened a second location, grown her membership to over 100 members, and created repeatable events and treatment pathways that allow her team to deliver stronger client outcomes while creating more consistency and cash flow inside the business. What I love about Kim's story is that this growth did not come from adding more random offers, chasing discounts, or constantly running disconnected promotions. It came from getting clear on what was already working, simplifying the client journey, packaging her expertise into a more powerful offer structure, and building a business model that supports both the patient result and the business result. If you are a service provider, brick-and-mortar business owner, wellness expert, med spa owner, or any entrepreneur whose expertise is the thing people are buying, this episode will give you a powerful look at what happens when you stop selling one-off services and start building around the full client transformation.

Send a textKristin Ruud is the founder of Northern Classics, an outdoor clothing brand that blends timeless, elevated aesthetics with high-performance technical outerwear for kids. A University of Michigan business school graduate, Kristin's career took her through financial consulting, hedge fund management, and commercial construction before an entrepreneurial spark and three kids under one and a half during COVID led her to launch Northern Classics. In this episode, Kristin shares how she identified a gap in the children's ski apparel market: technical gear that was either purely functional or purely cute, but never both. Kristin opens up about the challenges of building a brand from scratch with no apparel background, the power of community and customer feedback, and what it's like to see her designs "in the wild" on the slopes out west. As a mom of four (twins almost 7, a 5-year-old, and a 3-year-old), Kristin brings both personal credibility and infectious joy to everything she creates.Notable Quotes:"I always say I'm selling — I am my own customer.""I try really hard to keep my kids at the forefront.

In this episode, they break down everything: decoding the ticket matrix, hunting down hospitality packages on two separate platforms, navigating snowy switchbacks from Venice with skis on the roof, and what it's actually like to stand in the finish area for some of the most historic women's Alpine races in recent memory.The ski racing delivered in a big way! Federica Brignone won gold on home snow to a stadium full of tiger-suited superfans. Mikaela Shiffrin closed out the women's events with a gold in the slalom that had Nicole in tears. Paula Moltzan won the second run, finished eighth, and later handed out uterus pins in the center of Cortina.Start planning earlier than you think, use miles, go with another family to split costs, and bring really good shoes.

Send a textMegan Harrod has lived many lives, from being born in a trailer home in Montana to spending nearly a decade as the Alpine press officer for the US Ski Team, traveling the World Cup circuit and managing media for some of the world's best athletes. Now a brand strategist, publicist, and podcast producer working closely with Mikaela Shiffrin, Megan shares her remarkable journey from racing on Midwest man-made hills to the finish lines of Olympic venues. She opens up about the financial barriers in ski racing, the importance of accessibility programs like Share Winter, and how her experience managing intense athlete dynamics has made her a better mom to her two children, Pierce and Stetson, who are just 13 months apart. Megan discusses producing Mikaela's podcast "What's the Point," the powerful Mik 100 campaign that raised nearly $500,000 for ski access, and how she's learned to balance remote work with traveling to World Cup races with babies in tow. Her authentic approach to storytelling and her commitment to making the sport more accessible shine through as she reflects on memorable moments like Beijing 2022 and the importance of mental health in athletics.Notable Quotes:"I wouldn't have it any other way. It was such a cool family experience... it was such a strong community and I still have friends from that team growing up.""In many ways, that was the best thing that could have happened because people really saw who she is at the core.

I talk with Kim Blanchard‑Trigilio, one of Melanie's cousins who's leading new efforts to finally bring her home. Melanie was 14 when she disappeared from Woburn in 1989. Her family has never stopped searching for her.On Friday, October 27, 1989, 14‑year‑old Melanie Jo Melanson went to a popular party spot behind an industrial park with older Woburn high school kids. She told her grandmother she was staying with a friend so she could stay out late. No one ever saw her again. Her family is convinced she never left that spot — and that the two older boys she was last seen with know far more about what happened that night. More than 35 years later, her disappearance remains one of New England's most haunting unsolved cases.Melanie's cousins Billie‑Sue and Kim have been working tirelessly to generate new tips and keep her case alive. Their mission is simple: bring Melanie home.In this episode, I talk with cousin Kim Blanchard‑Trigilio about Melanie, her life, and the renewed efforts to uncover the truth.Visit MelanieMelanson.comMore case information at crimeofthetruestkind.com/melanie-melansonSalty language: Low*Salty language: Light to medium, topic dependent.

We're revisiting one of our most meaningful conversations — with Olympic gold medalist, ski mom, and mental performance coach Barbara Cochran.Why now? On February 11, 1972, Barbara won Olympic gold in slalom in Sapporo by just .02 seconds. And 54 years to the day later, her son, Ryan Cochran-Siegle, won Olympic silver in Super-G in Cortina.An Olympic legacy — built on a Vermont rope tow.Barbara grew up skiing at her family's backyard hill, now known as Cochran's Ski Area — a nonprofit, community-driven mountain where lift tickets are still affordable, race training happens under the lights, and hot chocolate costs $1.50.We talk about:Growing up in a ski racing familyTraining on the legendary rope towThe “Cochran Way” philosophy of excellence without pressureRaising an Olympian as a single momAnd the mindset that wins medalsBarbara's father believed skiing should be joyful — but that striving for excellence builds character. Before sports psychology was mainstream, Barbara was practicing it. Heading into her Olympic race, she repeated:“I don't know if I'm going to win, but I know I'm capable of winning.”That mindset carried her to gold — and now informs her work helping athletes who “train better than they race” learn to compete with confidence.We also talk about the financial realities of ski racing, how Ryan nearly declined his U.S. Ski Team nomination due to cost, and Ski Haus makes it easy with custom boot fitting that actually changes how you ski and how you feel at the end of the day.

In this episode Nicole talks with Jill Brabec, President of Nordic Combined USA, about one of the Olympics' oldest sports that still excludes women. Nordic Combined blends ski jumping and cross country skiing, requiring athletes to launch themselves down steep terrain at maximum speed, fly the length of a football field, then immediately race 5K on skinny skis. Despite being in the Olympics since 1924, women were denied entry to the 2026 Games. Jill, a Steamboat Springs ski mom turned advocate, formed a nonprofit with other parents to save the US team when funding collapsed. Her daughter Alexa trains in Norway but can't compete in the Olympics due to gender restrictions. The IOC will decide about 2030 inclusion this spring after reviewing 2026 data. Jill draws parallels to women's ski jumping, which faced identical arguments 15 years ago and is now successful. She encourages fans to watch men's Nordic Combined February 11, 17, and 19 to show viewership demand, sign the petition at nordiccombineusa.org, and follow athletes on social media. The sport features 17 World Cups for women who jump the same hills as men and train at Lake Placid, Park City, and Steamboat Springs. Families with adventurous kids can find programs starting at age 5-6 through the website.Website: nordiccombineusa.orgInstagram: @NordicCombinedUSANOTABLE QUOTES"It's really hard to see one sibling able to go to the Olympics and the other sibling not able tSki Haus makes it easy with custom boot fitting that actually changes how you ski and how you feel at the end of the day.

In this episode, the Ski Moms welcome Chemmy Alcott, a British former World Cup alpine ski racer who competed in all five disciplines and represented Great Britain at four Olympic Games. Growing up in London, Chemmy's journey to elite ski racing is extraordinary, she trained on eight-second dry ski slopes made of plastic "hairbrushes" and at age 10 convinced her parents to let her travel alone to New Zealand for two months of training, a pattern she continued for eight years.Chemmy opens up about skiing at only 80% capacity for eight years due to fear of failure before her breakthrough at Sölden, where she embraced 100% effort and risk-taking. After coming within 1.8 seconds of an Olympic medal at Sochi 2014, her surgeon's warning about potential leg amputation led to her retirement. Now a mother of two boys (ages 8 and 6), she's achieved her childhood dream as presenter of BBC's iconic Ski Sunday and co-founded Carpe Diem Coaching with her husband Dougie, running camps across Europe for ages 6 to 89 focused on building confidence and resilience.

In this episode, we tackle a topic that's been the elephant in the room of the ski world: fear. We sit down with Dr. Carol Porter, a Snowsport England coach with 20 years of experience and a PhD in pedagogical philosophies, and Kimberley Kay, author of the beloved "Ski A to Z" book and advocate for women in snow sports.Together, they reveal findings from their Fear Project research study that surveyed women globally about anxiety and fear in skiing. The results are eye-opening: 62% of women report that fear or anxiety affects their enjoyment when skiing, with mothers experiencing the highest levels of fear. The conversation explores why women's participation in skiing is dropping below 40% in the US, the unique fears mothers face on the slopes, and practical, research-backed strategies for rebuilding confidence after injury or setbacks.From breathing techniques to choosing quieter resorts to working with mindset coaches, Carol and Kimberley offer actionable advice for any ski mom who's lost her nerve or joy on the mountain. They also share exciting news about their presentation at the inaugural World Women's Snow Sports Summit and their ongoing work to make the ski industry more responsive to women's needs through visual safety education and industry advocacy.ResourcesWebsite: Kimberley Kay Website: Dr Carol Porter: https://jeaniusski.com/ski-fearless/"Suddenly having responsibility for more people who don't have the same awareness of what could go wrong, and then knowing that if anything happens to me, well, who's gonna get them to school?" — Dr. Carol Porter"No one can learn when they're scared.

Heather Vernon never expected to become an entrepreneur. Her goal after university was to become a teacher, through the Teach First graduate programme - two years of intense learning on the job, schooling disadvantaged children in low income communities. It taught her resilience and prompted a move into politics, initially at a local level, then a job with the Labour party, advising members of the then shadow cabinet. She tells Evan Davis why working at Westminster was initially terrifying and what encouraged her to set up a PR business with a friend. (Image: Heather Vernon Credit: Woburn Partners)

With 26 years of experience, Kathleen discusses the critical importance of physical therapy homework. She breaks down common ski injuries, prevention strategies, and when to seek professional help. The conversation also covers Vermont's healthcare challenges, the evolution of physical therapy degrees, and practical tools every ski mom should have at home. Kathleen also shares her favorite Stowe recommendations, from Raja Indian food to the Cliff House at the top of the gondola, and her go-to après ski spot - the Après Cocktail Lounge for hot cocktails and chicken nachos.Resources:Website: pointsnorthphysicaltherapy.com"I would say any injury or illness or condition that is preventing you from living your fullest life" [is worth seeing a PT for]."I think it's about learning to live a full life with imperfection and don't expect to be perfect necessarily.

Send us a textA rainy Boston morning set the scene, but the real weather shift happens in the story: an English major boards her first commercial flight to Alaska at 19, discovers how far a duffel and a daring heart can go, and eventually returns to writing through the heat of a private kitchen. We trace Melanie's winding path from private chef to freelance food-and-travel journalist, and how curiosity—not credentials—became the map legend for every bold turn.We dig into the messy art of pitching that school didn't teach well enough, why perfection slowed her down, and how a personal touch can cut through a crowded inbox. Then the narrative dives—literally—into the Galápagos, where a sea lion taught her the power of attention and play, and resurfaces in Iceland with fermented shark, sheep-dung–smoked whiskey, and the kind of hospitality that sticks. Along the way, we unpack travel trends with substance: detours that counter overtourism without diluting wonder, a resurgence of first-person narratives that invite empathy, and multigenerational trips that strengthen family bonds through shared discovery.Closer to home, Melanie opens a notebook of Boston recommendations that skip the obvious, from a lingering tapa night in the Seaport to a moody Beacon Hill hideaway, thermal cycling sessions in Revere, Mass Audubon's overlooked greenways, and a Woburn spot hosting a chestnut festival and a $22 three-course lunch. She shares what she seeks on hosted trips, why perseverance is the freelancer's quiet superpower, and the one dream that keeps resurfacing: flying a fighter jet. If you care about travel that feels honest, food that carries culture and pitching that respects people, you'll find tools, stories and surprises you can use. Enjoy the journey, then tap follow, share with a curious friend, and leave a quick review to help more listeners find us.Connect with Melanie at LinkedIN, Instagram or website.
Parkinson's disease is the fastest-growing neurological condition in the world—and according to Dr. Ray Dorsey, it doesn't have to be this way. In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Dorsey, a leading neurologist, Parkinson's researcher, and tireless advocate for rethinking chronic illness. Together, we unpack why the rates of Parkinson's have doubled in the last 25 years and explore a bold claim: Parkinson's is largely a manmade and preventable disease.Dr. Dorsey's message is urgent yet hopeful: prevention is possible, but it requires awareness, advocacy, and collective action. Dr. Ray Dorsey is a neurologist and one of the world's foremost voices in Parkinson's disease research and care. With deep clinical expertise and a passion for health care innovation, he is reshaping how we understand and address chronic illness. His parents were both psychiatrists, and he knew from first grade that he wanted to become a doctor. Today, he combines that lifelong love of learning with a mission to prevent Parkinson's and improve the lives of millions worldwide. *** Subscribe to The Neuro Experience for more conversations at the intersection of brain science and performance.
