Anxiety doesn't always look like panic. Sometimes it hides in insomnia, gut issues, brain fog, and a body that feels “wired but tired.” In this episode, Dr. Phil talks with nutritional psychiatrist and trained chef Dr. Uma Naidoo about the science behind nutritional psychiatry using food and nutrients alongside therapy and medication to support mental well-being.Dr. Phil and Dr. Naidoo break down the gut–brain connection in plain language: how chronic stress can disrupt the microbiome, increase inflammation, and intensify anxiety and depression symptoms. Dr. Naidoo also explains why anxiety surged during the pandemic and why it hasn't fully dropped back down pointing to ongoing stress, uncertainty, and the way modern eating patterns can keep the nervous system on edge. Based on Dr. Naidoo's work and books including This Is Your Brain on Food and Calm Your Mind with Food this conversation is a science-forward guide for anyone who wants a better mood, better sleep, and a brain that feels more in control.

This episode is brought to you by Good with Money, a free 3-day experience that will help you shift how you relate to money so it actually supports the life you're building. If you're tired of feeling like you have to hold it all together financially, this is where you learn how to create both the internal alignment and the systems to feel steady and supported. ✨ About This Season: The Anatomy of Alignment This season of Redefining Wealth is dedicated to unpacking what alignment really means — not as a buzzword, but as structure. We're dissecting how misalignment impacts each of the Six Pillars of Wealth — FIT, PEOPLE, SPACE, FAITH, WORK, and MONEY — and what it truly costs when we tolerate what drains us. Each episode builds on the last. So subscribe and journey with us as we move from awakening… to redefining… to actualizing. Episode Summary In this week's episode, Patrice sits down with financial wellness expert and author Sahirenys Pierce for a conversation that goes far beyond budgeting. Together, they explore what it means to create a money system that is not just practical, but deeply aligned with the life you actually want to live. Sahirenys shares how growing up as a first-generation Dominican American shaped her relationship with money. After watching her family repeatedly lose everything during economic downturns — including their home, cars, and sense of peace — she realized that financial trauma does not just impact bank accounts. It changes how we make decisions, what we believe is possible, and how safe we feel planning for the future. This conversation highlights the difference between reacting from fear and responding with intention. Patrice and Sahirenys unpack how many of us make money decisions from survival mode, whether that means choosing careers purely for security, avoiding financial structure, or believing that loss is inevitable. But alignment invites something different: systems that support peace, margin, and presence. Sahirenys also introduces her High 5 Banking Method, a simple but powerful framework for organizing money with purpose. This episode is a reminder that money management is not about restriction. It is about creating the infrastructure that allows you to be present for what matters most, prepared for life's realities, and positioned for the vision you say you desire. Questions to Ask Yourself: Am I currently managing money from fear or from intention? What financial patterns in my life were shaped by survival, loss, or instability? Do I have a system that supports both emergencies and opportunities? What would it look like for my finances to fully align with the life I say I want? Where in my money life do I need more structure so I can experience more peace?   Want to Redefine Wealth for Yourself? Start Here:

Hello, beautiful souls! Welcome back to the Angels & Awakening Podcast. I'm your host and author, Julie Jancis.

Have you ever noticed… the more you try to force something, the less it actually works? The more you push, control, overthink… the more stuck you feel? Same here, cutie! In this solo episode, I'm sharing something I'm actively working through in real time as I step into full-time entrepreneurship… how to stop forcing everything and start trusting that things can actually work out.Because lately, I've felt myself gripping. Trying to make things happen right now. Trying to control outcomes. And all it's been doing is burning me out and blocking the very things I want.So today, I'm talking about the shift I'm making from forcing → faith, while still taking real, intentional action.We get into:-Why forcing energy actually pushes life away-The difference between effort and desperation-How fear and past patterns keep us stuck in control-The daily practices helping me stay grounded (and not spiral)-How to focus on what's real instead of future-tripping worst case scenariosIf you've been feeling overwhelmed, burnt out, or like you're trying so hard and it's still not clicking… this is for you. Love you!

Goals Aren't Enough—Your Business Needs a PlanYou've been told to set goals—big ones. Write them down. Visualize them. Work harder toward them. But here's the problem: most goals are too vague to actually drive action. “Help more people.” “Make a difference.” “Grow the business.” They sound good, but they don't tell you what to do on a random Tuesday night when you finally sit down to work. And that's exactly why so many businesses stall.If your business feels busy but not profitable, scattered instead of strategic, or exhausting instead of energizing—it's not a motivation problem. It's a clarity problem. Inside this episode, I break down what's actually missing: a clear, specific, and compelling treatment plan for your business. Because just like in medicine, “feel better soon” isn't a plan—and it won't get results.A real business treatment plan creates direction, urgency, and momentum. It helps you stop guessing, stop spinning your wheels, and start making intentional moves that lead to revenue and impact. And the best part? You already know how to do this—you've just been applying it to patients instead of your business.Why vague goals quietly kill small businessesThe difference between being busy and being profitableHow clinicians accidentally “wing it” in businessThe concept of narrative traction (and why it drives action)Why your business feels scattered, reactive, and drainingThe 3-part framework for building a business treatment plan:✔ Three specific economic outcomes✔ A clear deadline✔ A compelling reason why it mattersWhy “impact without revenue is a hobby”How to create urgency that actually moves your business forwardA real-life example (yes… including a $430 baseball bat ⚾)Inside the Clinician Entrepreneur Collective, we take your clinical brain and apply it to business—so you can build something that creates income, impact, and freedom.If your business feels like a side hustle you squeeze into the cracks of your life… This is your invitation to do it differently.Join the waitlist: www.tracybingaman.com/waitlistNext cohort starts June 1, 2026SPONSORS: ADVANCED PRACTICE PLANNING, LLC: advancedpracticeplanning.com/fiSERMO https://app.sermo.com:443/?sermoref=39d97a2c-f699-4f8b-b2f9-1eb131e18c75&utm_campaign=tell-a-friend Keywords: business strategy for clinicians, entrepreneur mindset healthcare providers, clinician entrepreneur collective, how to build a business plan, why small businesses fail cash flow, treatment plan for business growth, storybrand business strategy, how to set measurable goals in business, increase revenue without burnout, side hustle for physician assistants, business clarity for entrepreneurs, mission statement examples business, narrative traction marketing, clinician side income strategies, how to grow a coaching business, sustainable business for healthcare workers

Are you currently struggling with constipation, yet nothing you've done to heal it has worked? Have you been told that if you just ate more fiber, drank more water, or took the right supplement that you'd finally find constipation relief - but nothing is actually changing? Or maybe you're doing all the “right” gut health things (chewing your food, cutting out gluten or dairy, eating organic) and yet you're still constipated, bloated, and wondering what you're missing? If you said yes to any of these questions, this episode is for you. Today, we're talking about a slow and silent epidemic that is costing our nation, and individuals, hundreds of thousands of dollars and hours in the workplace, family, and our communities: the constipation epidemic in America. Even though rates of constipation have been rising for decades, and even though more people than ever actively pursuing healthier gut health practices, we're not seeing improvement. According to research done in 2023 by Ipsos, 20% of Americans feel they are at a dead end in their healing. In this episode, I'm diving into the American constipation epidemic. I'll be going through:research revealing just how bad the constipation epidemic iswhat this same research is suggesting is the cause of constipationwhat I see is being missed by research in understanding the true causes of constipationwhy so many approaches to natural constipation relief keep falling short If what we're being told to do to relieve constipation actually worked, wouldn't we be seeing different results by now? If you're tired of guessing, tired of quick fixes that don't stick, and ready to understand what's really going on in your body - you don't want to miss this episode.

Welcome back to Truth, Lies & Work, the award-winning podcast where behavioral science meets workplace culture, brought to you by the HubSpot Podcast Network. This week, Al and Leanne are joined by Danni Mohammed, founder of the creative and innovation practice Gentle Forces. Danni has spent her career at some of the world's most iconic agencies—including Saatchi & Saatchi and WPP—but she's now doing something genuinely radical: running a global innovation firm with just two job titles. Danni explores why traditional hierarchies might be holding your team back, how to balance the "chaos" of creativity with the "order" of delivery, and why her team describes their workplace as "calm" despite tackling some of the biggest brand challenges on the planet.

Send us Fan MailThe job can send you to the hardest places on earth, then expect you to come home and act like nothing followed you back.We talk with Kemmi Sadler, a retired supervisory special agent from the U.S. State Department's Diplomatic Security Service, about what two decades of protective missions, investigations, and overseas tours can do to your inner life. From her early years in local law enforcement to contracting overseas after 9/11 and then serving across posts like Iraq, Afghanistan, El Salvador, Mexico, and Washington, DC, Kemi lays out the real-world stressors that build over time: constant moves, family complications, and the relentless requirement to stay sharp.One story becomes a turning point, opening the door to survivor's guilt and the kind of grief that can linger for years when it never gets fully processed. We also dig into a barrier so many first responders recognize instantly: the fear that counseling could trigger “fitness for duty” questions or jeopardize a security clearance. When your identity is built around being the tough one, asking for help can feel like risking everything. We compare peer support, resilience training, and the idea of routine mental health wellness visits that work like a checkup rather than a crisis response.We close with the shock of retirement and why turning in credentials can feel like losing membership in a world that once gave you status, safety, and a clear sense of self. If you care about first responder mental health, trauma recovery, and the transition out of service, this conversation will stay with you.Subscribe, share this with someone who needs it, and leave a review so more first responders can find these stories.Here is how to reach Kemmi: www.klsadler.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kemmisadler/https://www.facebook.com/klsadlerhttps://www.instagram.com/klsadler_/www.nonasway.comhttps://www.facebook.com/NonaTheWonderDog/https://www.instagram.com/nonas_way_/DeemedFit: First Responder OwnedWe are a first responder owned company looking to get first responders in the best mental shape.Disclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

In this episode, we get brutally honest about attachment—what it is, why it feels like survival, and why so much of what we cling to was never as real as we believed. Relationships, identities, roles, versions of ourselves… they start to dissolve when we outgrow them. And that dissolution doesn't feel spiritual—it feels like loss. Like grief. Like everything is falling apart at once.But what if that's the point?We talk about:Why attachment creates the illusion of safetyThe emotional cost of becoming someone newHow letting go can feel like death (because, in a way, it is)And why you can't carry your old world into your next oneThis is for the moment when your life no longer fits—but you're terrified to release it.You are loved.

Trump posting memes of himself and Jesus and starting a regional war with Iran are certainly indicative that something is wrong. But polling across issues shows that U.S. residents are unhappy with this system as a whole.

What if the biggest thing keeping you stuck with money… isn't your spending—but your perspective? In this episode, I'm sharing a powerful coaching call from inside the Overcoming Overspending community all about how your mindset shapes your financial reality—and why changing the way you think can completely change the results you create. Because here's the truth: Your circumstances don't determine your outcomes. Your perspective on them does. Inside this episode, we dive into: Why your mindset is either building you up or breaking you down How negative self-talk keeps you stuck in a cycle of shame, scarcity, and inaction The neuroscience behind why harsh inner dialogue triggers fight-or-flight (and blocks progress) Simple, practical reframes to shift out of "I'm behind" or "I'm broke" thinking How to move from negative → neutral → empowering thoughts (without toxic positivity) You'll also learn two of my favorite tools to transform your relationship with money: ✨ Your Inner Money Mean Girl – how to separate yourself from the critical voice in your head ✨ Your Money Alter Ego – how to step into a more confident, empowered version of yourself Because the goal isn't to never have negative thoughts… It's to stop believing everything your brain tells you. When you shift your perspective, you shift your emotions. When you shift your emotions, you change your actions. And that's how you finally start creating different results with your money. If you've been feeling stuck, discouraged, or caught in the same patterns with your finances—this episode will help you see things differently… and start moving forward.     Work with Paige: Watch my free on-demand masterclass: The 3-shifts to go from emotional shopper to financially empowered Join the waitlist for the Overcoming Overspending Book - Out in early 2027 Join Overcoming Overspending HERE           Connect with Paige Online: Her Website IG: @overcoming_overspending TikTok: @overcoming_overspending Subscribe to Paige's YouTube Channel

This episode is all about the stress of people — managing them, working with them, attending to them, etc. Tiff and Kristy discuss what it means to manage results and lead people, and how sticking to systems of accountability in your practice can take a lot of that stress off your shoulders. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. We are back here today with another amazing podcast. I say that because I just know this is gonna be incredible content. I'll introduce myself again. I realized a podcast ago that I never introduced myself. I'm Tiffanie I am a consultant, a dental consultant here with the Dental A Team. I've been here for a really long time, so I guess I just assume everybody has also been here for a really long time. I think everybody's like my best friend and I sit here.   on this podcast, Kristy with you and with all of the listeners, just talking to my best friend. Like that's just how I roll. So I'll take the moment to say hello, welcome. Thank you to those who have been listening for a long time or a short time or a new today. We love being able to reach new people. Part of our mission is to reach as many people as we possibly can. And it's worded much better than that, but that's the gist of it. And Kiera, know, get, Kiera likes to quiz us.   every now and again and I fail every time you guys. It's just like words in my brain get jumbled. It's okay, it's totally fine. So our mission is here. We are so excited to welcome you. Kristy, I am excited to welcome you here with me today. You have been on a podcast roll with me. We have busted out so many. I really truly appreciate you for that and for so many other reasons. So thank you for being here today, Kristy.   The Dental A Team (01:18) Thank you. Thank you for having me. I'm excited.   The Dental A Team (01:21) Yeah, thank you. We have been chatting quite a few things. KPIs, I think this is the month of KPIs and results and it makes sense because Q1 is behind us. We're rolling into Q2 and making sure that we are set for success because my opinion is if we wait until November, but even July, if we're like, gosh, Q3, what are we doing? What are we doing? You're already behind you guys. You got a lot to make up at that point. You might as well just start now.   I love this role that we've been on today. We also always get to hit some personal development pieces, which is fun as well. So today, where this podcast right now, we really want to talk about the human side of things. Kristy, something that I notice, I get the luxury of seeing Dental A Team from all of the different sides. I get to see it from sales side, from marketing side, from development side, like all of education, from consulting.   every space of Dental A Team, I feel like I have a little toe dipped in there, just because I've been here for so long and I've helped in so many different facets to create what we are doing today. And with that, I get to see all of the different reasons that all of our clients are attractive to us and the people who are not yet clients or have just come for, know, tell me what my gap is and let me work on it. All those people, all the doctors, all the teams,   are typically coming and they're saying, I say this all the time, they're saying systems, right? We need systems. Clean up my systems, Kristy. My systems are broken. And they're like, please. And I've watched it. I've watched new to Dental A Team consultants be like, okay, let's start and we'll dig into systems. And I'm like, wait, wait, wait. Do we know that that system's broken? Like, let's take a step back and really figure out what it is, what it is and why you're actually here.   because your systems is the word that you're using to describe your issue, your symptom. And what typically is happening is we have stress. Things aren't working. They're not aligning just right. And we think, well, my systems are broken then. And your systems may not be broken. They may need adjusting or we may need to add some systems. We may need to do away with some old systems, right?   I've got practices that I'm like, think we're just billing this way because we like to, because we've always done it this way. I have to tell you, side tangent for a second, I love this office and when they listen to this, they're gonna know exactly who they are.   I was like, what do you mean you have a black book? What is a black book? Like I don't understand what this is. And they're like, Tiff, like you don't understand how much time we're spending tracking metrics. You're saying we're not tracking. And I'm like, well, I just need them on this Excel sheet. Like where are they at? And they have this old school accounting black book. Like I can't even show you how big it is. It's just like this massive ledger and they have a pencil and these little tiny cells and every day they're writing.   The Dental A Team (04:17) you   The Dental A Team (04:26) production, adjustments, collections, where the collections is coming from. And I was like, wow, Open Dental tells us all of this every day. You just have to print it. You can even keep it. You don't need to, because it's always accessible. But if it makes you feel better, print it daily and keep it. What are we doing? And so I say that because there are some systems that are just like, we've just always done that. My dad owned the practice and this is how he did it. And it was successful and cool.   We can keep doing it or we don't have to. It's up to you. But the stress is actually the underlying issue and it's usually financial stress or misunderstandings, missed expectations. I expected to make more money than I did. I expected to be able to do my expansion and I can't. I expected to have another dentist on board. I expected to be able to find a hygienist. I expected someone else to talk to all the...   team members on my team. It's missed expectations and it's stresses. And Kristy, something I wanted to dive into today was really how, one, I do think systems help those things. So yes, there is a deep dive onto the systems, but really understanding the stress behind a lot of it and the why I think is key. And Kristy, I don't know if you noticed this in your office, just tell me what you see.   I think one of the number one stressors that I see for doctors, for business owners, and for even office managers who have already taken on this role and doctors have delegated this to them, one of the number one stresses that I see is the stress of people. It's dealing with people, right? Whether it's the patients or the team, but really the HR management side of managing people, like dentistry is not hard, right? Work isn't hard, people are hard. And dealing with that,   tends to be the crux of a lot of stress for doctors that they think the systems will fix, which we'll dive into how they can help that. But Kristy, do you agree? Are you seeing that within your practices as well?   The Dental A Team (06:34) Yeah, 100 % across the board, whether it's doctors or leadership, it's definitely the people driven. And you hear the things like, people just don't show up like they used to or, you know, those little sayings are, they don't respect our time. And so yes, 100 % from patients to team members, to be honest with you, but people.   The Dental A Team (06:55) Yeah. I agree.   I agree. I get the like work ethic, like work ethics changed. These Gen Zers or Gen Xers or Gen whatevers. They're different. And I'm like, yeah, they are different. 2020 taught us a lot of things and things are different now. And we can keep standing here saying, you know, we want to be on this box that was old and is breaking or we can move forward onto the new box. I totally agree with that.   The Dental A Team (07:03) Yeah   Thank you.   The Dental A Team (07:25) When I think of stress of people, I agree. I think people can be hard. Managing people can be hard. And I think leading people is a very different statement. And leading people makes management easy, if that makes sense. I believe in managing results and leading people. Systems without accountability.   The Dental A Team (07:50) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (07:54) lead to micromanagement and a lot of stress around your people management.   The Dental A Team (07:59) I agree 100 % Tiffanie, you said that like so spot on. And accountability is one of those things that everybody wants and everybody's gonna also gripe about. But I will also say, I was privileged to go, I think it was one of the HR companies like Cedar, Ben Erickson or one of them had talked about. ⁓   You know, they do this stuff day in and day out. And they said the number one reason somebody will leave you is because you don't have accountability. And the number one thing they'll complain about is accountability. So it really cemented it. I mean, coming from an HR company that deals with people all day, every day, and probably the worst of the people ⁓ saying that really, really taught me that we need that clarity. Every one of us needs that clarity and we all need that accountability.   And so you're spot on. And when we can make it about that clarity, what we're looking for and not so much about the person, it makes the leadership a lot easier. You're like, uh-huh.   The Dental A Team (09:09) Absolutely.   Yes. Yes. And that's, think, what I mean by managing the results. Right? And I even that what you just said right there is like not making it about the person. I just had a call right before we started podcasting. And he was like, gosh, I have, you know, and we've had this. had I had a team member that I was like, my gosh, I think her dryer is broken. Like, she smells like mold. Right. Or we're wearing way too much perfume. that shirt is way too low cut. that's not really appropriate.   The Dental A Team (09:16) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (09:39) Gosh, I had a girl that would wear the wrong color sweater and I'm like, it's black. Like we just, it's black. That's all we got, black and white. That's all you got, right? And this blue, like I know this Navy is really close to black, but it's not black. Those conversations, those are the stressors, right? It's hard. It's like, come on. And my doctors are like, we're all adults. I agree with you, but we're all gonna do whatever we can to get away with whatever we can. And if we're gonna slide in a Navy blue sweater, because it almost looks black.   The Dental A Team (09:45) Hahaha!   Yeah.   The Dental A Team (10:08) except for next to my black shirt, right? And if I don't say anything, I don't hold the person accountable to our dress code, the next thing I know, she's wearing a light blue sweater. And Marjorie in the back, she decided hot pink was cool today. And I'm like, what is happening you guys? Well, guess what? I didn't hold accountability to the lines. We had a boundary and the boundary was crossed and I didn't use clear as kind and hold the boundary. And it is clear as kind.   It's like, hey, love the sweater. Just keep in mind, remember, it's gotta be black or white. I do love it though, it just doesn't fit within our guidelines. Period. There's no questions. And it's kind. I don't dislike the sweater. It's just not appropriate for the office, right? Love the enthusiasm. Let's use this verbiage with that enthusiastic flair. Let's see if we get a different result.   The Dental A Team (11:07) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (11:07) It's less about, because it's not the person. She's not a bad person for trying to wear a blue sweater. She was in a hurry. She was in a hurry that morning and she grabbed what she could and she thought it would be fine. I remember the day like it was yesterday because she was like, what? It's fine. And I was like, it's not. I get it and I understand. But if I don't say anything, like if I'm going to say something to someone else, I have to say it to you too. And it's my job and I'm just.   I'm upholding the standards. So it's not a big deal. I don't want you to feel attacked like you're fine, we're fine. We're black tomorrow. And if I need to get you a black sweater, tell me, I'll order you a black sweater. Right? It doesn't have, it doesn't, wasn't about her, right? It's not, there's nothing wrong with the person. Right now it's about the result. And when we make it about the person, it is really hard. And when I get doctors that are like, I don't want to hurt her feelings.   The Dental A Team (11:54) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (12:05) Well, you've made it about the person. Now it's about the person. But is there something wrong with her that you have to this conversation? Or is this conversation about something that's completely outside of her? They're like, well, no, right? She's wearing too much perfume. Cool. Love your perfume. Could be an issue for our patients. Please dial it back. It's not about her, right?   The Dental A Team (12:30) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (12:33) And I told my doctor recently, one of my doctors that I had a similar conversation with, I said, I have to take a step back. That same thought process goes through my mind too. It happens to all of us because we're like, I don't want to turn people away. I don't wanna push anybody away. I don't wanna lose anyone. It's our survival mechanisms are in tune with saying, don't push people away. Pad the situation and be nice so that people don't run away. But nice.   I think of it this way, whenever I feel it, I'm like, nope, take a step back, because I have to think and consider if I feel that I have to be nice and not be clear and kind, if I feel that I have to be nice, I am also then saying that this person across from me is not strong enough to take a clear and kind conversation, and I'm.   Like, what's the word I want? Making them smaller by being nice to protect them because they can't handle it and protect themselves. So to me, I have to tell myself that story often because it feels way worse to say the person on the other side of this conversation can't handle this conversation than to say I might hurt her feelings for a moment by telling her that her perfume is too strong. at the end of the day, she's gonna be like, cool, I'm gonna say perfume.   The Dental A Team (13:58) Mm-hmm.   The Dental A Team (14:02) she's gonna be fine, right? Like we make these situations so much bigger than they need to be and we stress on the potential outcomes because the people management is hard. But the lines are there, the boundaries are there, the accountability is there. And when we hire capable, strong people and we believe in the human, the conversation's gonna go fine.   The Dental A Team (14:23) Yeah, Tiff, I love that you said that. it's kind of funny because it's taking me back to even in office and training things. I'm like, guys, almost all of the situations that we don't like, we've created. And I can almost always prove it. And even in this situation, we create bad employees or people not following the rules because we've created that situation, truly.   The Dental A Team (14:47) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (14:48) be whether it's   The Dental A Team (14:49) Yeah.   The Dental A Team (14:49) not having a caring conversation or whatever it is. I always, to your point, whenever I have to have these type of conversations, I like to follow the rule of state the behavior, what it's causing, and then state the behavior you wish to see. Because again, then you're not putting the person on the spot and you're talking about...   the subject. So even or item like you were saying instead you'd state the blue shirt as you came in. Do you remember this was our guidelines for what we wear? And so moving forward, can you please wear the black or the white? You know, because then it's easy if they don't follow the rules next time to say, hey, we talked about this. You agreed. What's getting in the way of it? It's not it's not attacking that person, but truly   And in leadership, our team is looking to us for holding people accountable in that way, truly. Yeah.   The Dental A Team (15:50) I agree.   I agree. Go ahead.   The Dental A Team (15:54) I was going to say also, I just said the team's looking for us as leadership to hold people accountable, but I also just had this conversation in office too. It isn't just leadership to hold people accountable. We hold ourselves accountable first and foremost, and then peer to peer, it's our job to hold each other accountable too, not just the leadership team, guys. Yeah.   The Dental A Team (16:18) Yeah,   I love that so much and I don't know how many times I've preached that and witnessed it and done it. Because I'm like, gosh, if I put myself in leadership shoes, I'm not going to be like, there goes Candace again with the wrong color shirt. I'll be like, Candace, girl, if I have to wear this shirt and I can't be colorful, you better get in line too because you're making me mad. I remember. And I will tell this story till the day I die. And when she listens to this, she's to know exactly what I'm talking about. She's one of my best friends.   The Dental A Team (16:46) I don't know.   The Dental A Team (16:48) I love her dearly, and there was a moment in time we did not love each other so much. And this girl, every time I walked by her TC office, I was like, listen, you're on Facebook again. We got internet taken away from us because of you, and I remember the day I walked by and I like, I swear, if I get something else taken away from because you're doing this, I'm gonna freak out.   The Dental A Team (17:05) you   The Dental A Team (17:13) And she was not happy, but I was just like, girl, how many times do we have, like we're all getting talked to, we're all getting things removed, we're getting new rules implemented, and you're blatantly not doing them. I'm not okay with that, and I'm not okay with the disrespect that you're showing to the rest of the team, including leadership and doctor, because that's disrespectful to me. You're not caring that your actions are having a consequence on me. No, no, I'm not gonna stand for that because I have   higher respect for myself and boundaries for myself than to allow something like that to continue. So I love that you said that and I think there's a when and there's a where and there's a how. And as long as we're coming at it from a space of respect and we're coming at it from a space of results, not attacking the person, that's the difference maker. And your stress will exponentially decrease when you stop micromanaging systems.   The Dental A Team (17:55) Yes.   The Dental A Team (18:12) You manage results and you lead people by accountability. And when there's confusion within the accountability, then go back to the system and make sure that the accountability is clear. Like what is the system supposed to be doing? What does the accountability look like? And stop saying accountability is hard. Accountability is not hard. Backtracking because you never held somebody accountable, that's hard. But the accountability of like, hang on, tell me more about this. How come we didn't get there?   The Dental A Team (18:17) Yeah.   Yeah.   The Dental A Team (18:43) Not, hey, why didn't you make 10 calls yesterday? You were supposed to make 10 calls. That's micromanaging a person. But saying, hey, I see that you weren't able to get to your 10 calls yesterday. Tell me more about that. What was your day like yesterday? Where could we have made sure that you had time? What got in the way of that? Now the person is like, yeah, you're right. I was swamped with X, Y, and Z. And we can diagnose, is that a one-off? Like, okay, that was a really busy day.   Or is that a space of you're carrying too much and some of that needed to be delegated? So Kristy, I think that's a massive difference in accountability of the like, hey, you didn't do, that's managing. Or, hey, I see that you didn't get to, tell me more about that. You know?   The Dental A Team (19:16) Mm-hmm.   Yep. It's   coming from that curiosity and concern, and it already lowers the feelings, I guess, you know what I mean? Yeah. And again, as a leader, using the call scenario, that also gives you the chance to re-cement that, making these calls is really, really important. And so maybe we can carve out extra time to get to those today, you know, and coming up with a solution together. So 100 % Tiff.   The Dental A Team (19:36) Yeah, the reaction. Yeah.   Yes.   The Dental A Team (19:56) on board with you there. think it goes back to creating our heart, right? And having those conversations, which also made me think of, guys, and we see this every day all day when we go on practices too, Tiff, or even on calls. Please, please, when you have to have a one-off conversation, don't address the whole room. Your face.   The Dental A Team (20:02) Mm-hmm.   Please, for   the love of all things, please, please listen to Kristy.   The Dental A Team (20:24) Yeah, right. Because truly the person that needs to hear it, they don't know it's them. I promise you, they don't know it's them. Go have the one-on-one caring conversation, and that's how you can get the buy-in from them and be able to circle back for future conversations.   The Dental A Team (20:41) Yes,   yes, my gosh, I love that you said that. It's one of my biggest pet peeves. If someone is doing something, don't make everyone suffer through the conversation, because 90 % of the people are like, what are we talking about? And then one person's like, my gosh, it's me, I'm so stressed. And you're like, and then they come to you, how can I do better? And you're like, it wasn't you. ⁓ so now I'm stressed for no reason, but I'm also not believing you, because I'm positive that it was me, and now we've ruined someone.   The Dental A Team (21:07) We were winded.   The Dental A Team (21:08) ⁓ And the   person that it was is like, you guys suck. You guys should really stop doing that. I can't believe someone here did that. You're like, my golly. Yeah, that was part of my conversation today. Yes, I love that with my practice. So every day all day I see that generalizations kill a team. If there are multiple people doing it, fine. Reestablish your baselines. Reestablish your boundaries and your handbooks. Sure.   The Dental A Team (21:14) Yeah.   Yeah.   The Dental A Team (21:36) But if someone is causing a scuffle, someone is causing a stress, talk to that person. Just nip it in the bud. Because I guarantee you, blue sweater would not have known I was talking to her. And she's gonna wear that sweater again and I'll be like, bro, we talked about this. She's like, no, we didn't. We did not, because we didn't. But I did, and it never happened again. She didn't love me for it. She had some choice words to some people, but it was fine. And we were fine at the end of the day. We get a little ⁓ upheaved sometimes.   The Dental A Team (21:42) Yeah.   Yeah.   The Dental A Team (22:06) because as much as we want to be seen, it's also really scary to be seen. And so we'll be like, I know I'm in the wrong. Like you get defensive because you already knew you shouldn't have worn the sweater. You already knew it was out of dress code. So when I talk to you about it, you were already prepared to be defensive and defend why it was fine because you knew it was coming. That's okay. I'm okay with that. Cause tomorrow we're both better for it.   The Dental A Team (22:28) Yeah.   I love it, Tiff. I think truly, and again, guys, when you make the conversation around your culture and the easiest way to do it truly is on your mission and core values, tying probably that blue sweater back to your core values would have been a huge way to, again, approach the conversation and let that person know they're not living in community. ⁓ To that being said,   There's many times when we go in practices and I'm asking, I need you to have it truly. So you guys, you're on, if you're a client of mine, you probably know it's coming. You better be prepared. I'm going to ask you what your mission and your core values are because truly I like to say the mission is our boss. That's who we're serving, not our leadership team. That is our boss. And the core values demonstrate how we behave.   So in any of these situations when you're having to have a caring conversation, I'm not gonna say it's a hard, it's a caring conversation, we choose to make it hard. ⁓ Tie it back to your core values, because that's how we behave, and it's gonna make it easier for you to tackle those conversations.   The Dental A Team (23:46) I love that so much and I think that is the perfect spot to wrap because tying back to your mission vision core values is key to business success. So I love that Kristy. Thank you. I would say action items, are those done? Do you have job descriptions done? Do you know what the responsibilities of each individual are? Do they know? And what is the accountability follow up there within it? So if you're stressed out, yeah.   The Dental A Team (23:59) Thank   to one more action. Leadership, is there anybody you need to put on your list to have a conversation with?   The Dental A Team (24:18) Do it.   Ooh, I like that. Good job.   Make them think. I love that. Okay, you heard it right here. You heard it from Kristy. Go do the things. remember, stress is a symptom of something. We're not just stressed. Okay, I just, I just had a stressful day. No, it's a symptom of something. And typically, I've found in my personal experience, at least, that if I'm stressed, it's usually because I've let a boundary slip.   and somebody's crossing over that boundary, and I'm actually kind of upset, hurt with myself. I'm mad at myself for allowing it to happen. So, do a gut check if you're stressed. Why are you stressed? It's just a symptom. It's not a forever and it's not a lifestyle. So, go figure it out.

In this episode of Feminine Frequency, we're doing a Pod swap with our friends over at The New Truth podcast. Amy Natalie dives deep into the heart of feminine liberation with Kate Harlow and we have a conversation that explores the profound journey of shedding societal expectations and the "Good Girl" conditioning that keeps so many women playing small, silent, and disconnected from their true essence. Amy shares her personal evolution from a life of "checking the boxes"—including a traditional marriage and religious expectations—to a life of radical authenticity, vibrant sensuality, and deep somatic healing. Together, the two Amys illuminate the path from people-pleasing and emotional suppression to becoming a Multi-Dimensional Woman: one who embraces her full range of power, truth, and purpose.Themes: How women are conditioned by culture, religion, and lineage to choose acceptance over authenticity, leading to anxiety and physical misalignment.Exploring the inner conflict between attachment and authenticity, inspired by Gabor Maté.How the "Good Girl" program lives in the nervous system and how movement and dance are the keys to unlocking suppressed life forceThe honest reality of the transition period—where old relationships may fall away and a temporary sense of loneliness occurs before new, high-frequency "Soul Family" connections are magnetized.Practical insights on how to speak your truth to loved ones (like parents or partners) in a way that honors your evolution while inviting deeper, more honest intimacy.A celebration of the "New Paradigm" of sisterhood, where women support each other's expansion rather than viewing another's light as a threat to their own.Three-step framework for transformation: Awareness (seeing the patterns), Acceptance (loving the parts that want to hide), and Aligned Action (living as your higher self).SPECIAL OFFER:

As members of the RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council, they co-authored the new RIMS Executive Report, "Board Risk Reporting: How to Deliver Insights that Matter." [2:24] Co-authored by Joe Pugh of the AARP, a RIMS Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council member, the report provides practical insights and guidance to risk practitioners who report to their organization's board of directors or overarching governance committees. [2:38] The report provides guidance on aligning this reporting with the board's role and expectations, the steps that should be taken to sustain the alignment, and how to ensure reporting provides the board with the appropriate level of detail. [2:52] The link to the report is available in this episode's show notes. You can also visit the Risk Knowledge section of RIMS.org.

[3:11] They will extend the dialog with the session "From Risk Aware to Risk Savvy: Elevating Board-Level Risk Reporting and Engagement." It will undoubtedly be a fantastic session! [3:21] Let's talk about board reporting right now! [3:23] Interview! Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow, welcome back to RIMScast! [3:31] Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow have been carrying the torch for the Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council at RIMS for years. Now, they are rejoining us on RIMScast. It's a delight to welcome them both back. [3:57] The new RIMS Executive Report, "Board Risk Reporting: How to Deliver Insights that Matter," was co-authored by Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow, with Joe Pugh, who is also on the Strategic and Enterprise Risk Management Council. [4:15] This paper is available for a limited time exclusively to RIMS members. It will then be open to the public. There's a lot of great information in it, and it gets right to the point. [4:40] Research shows that while many risk professionals believe their reporting supports board decision-making, most boards are still asking for more information and deeper analysis. [4:47] Trisha says, boards are becoming more interested in understanding the risk profile of the organization, what's being done, and how leadership is managing risk, because we are in a complex time. There are so many risks that are not internal. [5:33] The board is asking: How do we look at this, how can we manage what we can, and prepare for and respond to those things that we can't manage, but that could come and hit us? [5:47] Boards are more interested. They have regulatory concerns and requirements, potential liability, and things of that nature. [6:07] Suzanne agrees with Trisha about the complexity in our post-COVID world with the interconnectedness of risks and the unexpected. Regarding the pace of change, Suzanne says hang onto your seats right now, particularly with AI! [6:30] Boards serve a lot of constituents and stakeholders, and they're feeling pressure. They're looking for more insightful analysis. The report gets into how to figure out what is insightful to a board. Justin notes that each board will have a different definition of insightful. [6:58] One board can change over time as different board members bring different dynamics and expectations to the board. The paper has a point about keeping pace with the board. [7:18] The paper makes the point that effective board reporting is not about what risk teams want to say but about what boards need to hear. [7:43] Suzanne breaks down the difference between the need that the board knows and understands, and articulates, and the things they should also know, to be good board members. That takes exploration. There are things the board might not know to ask. [8:10] Risk professionals have knowledge and context. They need to lean in and say, "You're asking for this, and that's super important, but in addition, here are some other things to be aware of." You need to start with a mutual understanding. There's a process to go through. [8:31] Trisha says the risk practitioner has the largest view of the risk profile of the organization. The board is thinking more of strategic goals and objectives, but they do want to know about the risk. Board risk reporting is a matter of working to connect strategy with risk management. [9:07] The risk practitioner can develop a culture of discussion and openness to discuss risks, mitigations, and possible blind spots. [9:26] Suzanne says one of the primary roles of the board is to make sure the firm has the right strategy and they're executing it appropriately. The biggest risk to the board is becoming irrelevant to constituents and clients. Not all key risks to the organization are equal to the board. [9:59] The board spends more time on the strategic risks. When reporting, you can't forget the operating risks. You can summarize them as "Here are some things to look at that we've got covered. So, let's spend more time over here." [10:46] If you don't first build alignment with executive management before engaging with the board, Suzanne says you'll end up with a modern-day Babylon. You won't end up with support from the key risk owners on the strategic side. The owners of the risk are the decision-makers. [11:02] The decision-makers are management and executive management. It has to be their story, and they have to buy in. Risk practitioners are the facilitators to create that alignment so those conversations can be robust, open, and transparent. [11:44] Trisha says the executive leadership team (ELT) is the liaison and connection to the board. Most risk practitioners may not be in all of the board meetings or interacting with the board regularly. The executive leaders probably are. [12:05] The ELT can bridge the gap. They have the relationships and know the personalities of the board members. They understand how the board likes to receive information and can help the risk practitioner develop reports in that way. They can open the line of communication more. [12:28] Trisha says that in her previous work for DFW Airport and others, they did this through the structure of the Enterprise Risk Management program, having a risk council report periodically to the ELT, so they have the information and can go forth with it. [13:17] Suzanne says the best practice is to spend some prep time to get some baseline knowledge and level-setting across, so when you go into those meetings, the conversations will be richer. You're not educating. You're getting right to what you want to focus on in your report. [13:58] There are different methods for doing that, depending on the organization, with its aptitude and appetite. You can do it in a pre-conversation setting, starting with the ELT, so that they're part of that conversation, helping to drive it. That is ideal. [14:21] A Quick Break! RISKWORLD 2026 will be held from May 3rd through the 6th in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. RISKWORLD attracts more than 10,000 risk professionals from across the globe. It's time to Connect, Cultivate, and Collaborate with them. [14:41] Public registration is open, and booth sales are still available. Links are in this episode's show notes, and be sure to check out RIMS.org for more information. [14:50] We will kick off Day 1 with a conversation with Adam Grant. He is an organizational psychologist, best-selling author, and a leading influential management thinker. [14:59] The excitement continues with the announcement of the closing keynote speaker. NFL Hall of Famer, Super Bowl Champion, Emmy-winning broadcaster, and entrepreneur Michael Strahan will be on the main stage on May 6th. Justin is super stoked! [15:15] If you're still on the fence, this is the time to smash that Register button and hear from one of the all-time greats.

Visit RIMSWesternRegional.com and the link in this episode's show notes for more information. [15:42] Let's Return to Our Interview with Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow! [16:10] Suzanne says you want to exude confidence when you initiate a risk dialogue with executive leaders and the board, but you don't want to look so buttoned-up that when something does go bump, they look at you and say they thought you had that covered. [16:42] Trisha says it's very important to build those relationships as you can, so you have direct knowledge of the primary stakeholders you are working with, and so you can communicate better with them and provide good, insightful tidbits of knowledge. [17:10] Boards are to maintain oversight and not get down into the management level. [17:22] Suzanne says good reputational risk management establishes credibility up front, without appearing confident that you can prevent every risk from happening. Something big could happen. You need a good business crisis plan. The board could be involved in a crisis. [18:26] Boards need to be risk savvy, not just risk-aware. The educational part is helping the board understand the organization and the key risks to it. Then they need to be actively engaged so they're asking better questions and leveraging that knowledge to make better decisions. [18:44] That's the evolution you're working on. It's ideal to do some of the educational work up front so you don't have to do it in real-time. It helps to get quickly to the risk-savvy, better decision-making piece. [19:12] Trisha explains the difference between being risk-informed and risk savvy. When you learn risk at the basic level, you know the nuts and bolts. Becoming risk savvy is understanding how it all integrates together. How do we start seeing what risks are interconnected? [19:40] Trisha asks how we see how the external factors that we face in the world could impact our strategic goals and initiatives. You need to mitigate risks, plan, and prepare for them, and think through your overarching organizational resiliency. [20:07] The risk practitioner doesn't just present a list of risks and mitigation plans. They say, here's what we're seeing and how this could impact that. Here are the systemic issues, and talk about what we are doing from that larger perspective. [20:32] Suzanne thinks it's important not to be backward-looking but to have foresight and look around the corner at what's ahead and ask how we can be more nimble as we charge forward. How can we adapt better to the new environment and manage risks in real-time? [20:53] That all helps to build foresight and the ability to think about what could go awry, or what new opportunity we need to take to achieve our goals. These are important points to being risk savvy. [21:29] Suzanne says in some organizations, board reporting is not happening. There is zero cadence. Some organizations report almost quarterly. In those cases, is the board providing oversight or management? [22:06] Consider how much information and what you are reporting; insights beat volume. What are the insights you need the board to know? Determine the level of information the executive team, the audit compliance committee, and the full board need. It's organization-specific. [22:47] Trisha addresses information overload. If you can get some pre-read out there, so that you can then have a conversation, that's ideal. Think about what decisions they need to make to know what information they will need to have in hand to make those decisions. [23:14] The decisions that are being made are different, depending on the group you are reporting to. Strategic decisions are going to need this information; operational decisions will need this other information. [23:39] Another Quick Break! The Spencer Educational Foundation's Risk Manager on Campus application period opened on April 1st, 2026, and it will close on June 30th. Grant awardees, colleges, and universities are typically notified in September. [24:00] The Course Development Grant application deadline for Interval Number 2 will be on June 15th, 2026. Award notifications will be sent out in late July. [24:15] General Grant applications will open on May 1st, 2026, and the application deadline is July 30th. Internship Grant applications open on August 15th and close on October 15th. [24:27] Links to each of these grants are in this episode's show notes. Visit SpencerEd.org for more information. [24:36] Let's Conclude Our Interview with Suzanne Christensen and Trisha Sqrow! [25:21] Justin asks about rightsizing, in terms of reporting. Suzanne says there is a set of goals or objectives behind right-sizing. When you get to the objectives, you can think about how you rightsize for those objectives. What do they need to know to make those decisions? [25:59] Trisha agrees. It goes back to understanding the audience and what they like to see, and saying, here are things that we need decisions on, or we need your thought process on. [26:21] Trisha has two sessions on Wednesday, May 6th, at RISKWORLD. The first one is with Katrina Gilbert from the DFW Chapter, "Kickoff to Resilience: A Case Study in Risk Management Strategies for Major Event Planning," from 10:15 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. [26:49] Fifteen minutes later, Trisha will present "From Risk Aware to Risk Savvy: Elevating Board Level Risk Reporting and Engagement," with co-author Joe Pugh from AARP. [27:12] Trisha says there's a responsibility on the board to know that the program is operating as it should, it's bubbling up information that should be bubbled up, they're getting exception reporting, and they have confidence that it's coming their way; it's not haphazard. [27:44] There is a little bit of time that has to be spent talking about the program and how the board can have confidence in it. It doesn't have to be a long story. It's "Here's what we're focused on. Here's how we know we're good. We've done a benchmark. We know we keep it current." [24:12] Suzanne says you want to enable informed oversight. You want to think through what they would need so that they can provide oversight to you. [28:18] You need forward thinking, looking at not only what's happening now, but also at what the potential emerging risks are. What are we watching for? How are we preparing for those things? Work to engage the board as you go forward. [28:33] Trisha says to get feedback on an ongoing basis. It's helpful to do annual surveys, but it's also asking in real-time, "Does this make sense; are you getting what you need?" [28:49] You can tell, based on the engagement, the level of discussion, and their questions. They should be asking insightful questions. That allows you to tell a deeper story because they're obviously interested in it. It's not a one-and-done. [29:30] Trisha says it's an honor to be able to speak at RISKWORLD or any RIMS event.

Most expats moved to Dubai chasing tax-free income, luxury living, and warm weather — but the war with Iran has exposed the fragile foundations beneath that dream. In this episode, John Odermatt speaks with world-renowned expat consultant Mikkel Thorup about why he left the UAE seven years ago, what he saw coming, and what current residents need to know. Thorup spent nearly a decade in the UAE before recognizing that its dependence on imported food, desalinated water, and hydrocarbon energy made it dangerously vulnerable to regional conflict. He shares firsthand accounts of stranded tourists, canceled Iranian Golden Visas, potential banking disruptions, and the very real consequences of living near active missile exchanges. For those looking for an alternative, Thorup points to Latin America as an increasingly attractive destination — politically shifting rightward, food and water independent, and offering genuine tax-free lifestyles. He closes with practical advice on building an offshore Plan B whether or not you ever physically move, covering banking, holding companies, real estate, and residency strategies. For anyone currently in the UAE or rethinking their global base, this episode offers a sobering and actionable reality check.

Mark didn't retire because he hit a magic number. He retired because the pace no longer made sense.After decades in family medicine and leadership roles at healthcare startups, retirement wasn't something he spent years visualizing. There were no examples to follow. No clear finish line. Work simply continued, until life introduced moments that quietly reshaped how he thought about time, health, and what “enough” really means. In this conversation, Mark reflects on stepping away at 64 and why he chose not to replace work with a rigid schedule or a new identity. Instead, retirement has been about removing urgency: mornings built around movement, caring for his dogs, reading, travel that feels intentional, and giving himself permission to let things unfold rather than forcing purpose.He talks candidly about caring for his mother, how that experience changed his outlook, why he didn't struggle with losing his professional identity, and how financial flexibility (particularly having assets outside traditional retirement accounts) made the transition feel possible rather than risky.Mark's story challenges the idea that retirement needs to be busy, optimized, or fully defined. Sometimes the biggest shift is simply slowing down enough to notice what actually fits.--Mark is not a client of Root Financial Partners, LLC and received no compensation for participating in this video.

Work is changing, not ending—what it takes to stay relevant in an AI-driven world.Careers aren't ladders anymore — they're climbing walls. As Aneesh Raman puts it, “work is changing, not ending,” and success today depends on how well you can navigate change and explain your path along the way.Raman is the Chief Economic Opportunity Officer at LinkedIn and a former presidential speechwriter for Barack Obama. His work focuses on the future of work and how individuals can adapt in an AI-driven world. In his book Open to Work, he argues that the most valuable skills today aren't technical — they're human. “We now have this technology that's gonna do more, better, faster… It will out efficiency us,” he explains. But that shift creates opportunity: “When you recognize that humans aren't meant to be machine-like, and that machines will eventually out machine us, that isn't the end state. It's going to be a more entrepreneurial era where we're going to rely on our unique ability to imagine, to invent, to create.”In this episode of Think Fast Talk Smart, Raman and host Matt Abrahams explore what it takes to navigate a rapidly changing workplace. From the “Five C's” to practical ways to redesign your role around human strengths, Raman shares how to stay relevant as work evolves, the power of audience-first communication, and why great storytelling starts with understanding yourself.To listen to the extended Deep Thinks version of this episode, please visit FasterSmarter.io/premium.Episode Reference Links:Aneesh RamanAneesh's Book: Open to Work226.

Archie shares what it meant to learn through observation, community, and experience (long before social media).
