What does the new One Big Beautiful Bill mean to parents and young adults? I am kicking off the "Big Beautiful Bill" series by breaking down what the new legislation means for those just starting their financial journeys—think high schoolers, college students, and anyone landing their first job. I deep dive into the bill's highlights, including the extension of marginal tax rates, increased standard deductions, and hot topics like deductions for reported tips, overtime pay, and vehicle interest—clearly outlining who benefits, the real dollar impact, and the fine print you need to know. I also highlight the bill's downsides, including tighter student loan limits, the phasing out of home energy credits, and EV incentives. If you're wondering how these changes could shape your financial future, or that of your kids or grandkids, this series offers practical advice.

If you're a parent losing sleep over your teenager's mood swings, wondering when normal adolescent drama crosses into mental health territory, or feeling completely outmatched by a generation that creates group chats in Google Docs, this episode is your reality check and roadmap.More info, resources & ways to connect - https://www.tacosfallapart.com/podcast-live-show/podcast-guests/mendi-baronLicensed clinical social worker Mendi Baron brings a unique perspective to teen mental health, shaped by his own teenage rebellion and his current role running multiple behavioral health treatment centers. His journey from "pain in the ass teen" to mental health professional began at 17 when a stranger told him that struggling peers credited him with keeping them alive.Baron destroys three major parental misconceptions head-on. First, parents drastically underestimate teen tech savvy. While adults fumble with firewalls, kids create Google Doc group chats on school Chromebooks. Second, the "best years of your life" narrative is garbage. Teens juggle brain development, body changes, social pressures, school stress and social media while their brains are still under construction. Third, the "handle it ourselves" mentality fails because parents lack the proper context and information to navigate modern teen challenges alone.The secret sauce isn't complicated but requires intentional work. Parents must recognize that relationships need complete overhauls at each developmental stage. The way you relate to a 10-year-old won't work with a teenager, and that won't work with an 18-year-old. Baron advocates for "setting the stage" through consistent, phone-free connection time before problems arise. Create safe spaces for conversation, not crisis intervention sessions.Teens crave predictability despite what they tell you. Baron recommends written "home contracts" covering expectations, consequences and support systems. This isn't about being controlling but creating clear rules of engagement. When teens know exactly what happens if they miss curfew, they can make informed choices about whether they're willing to face those consequences.Baron uses a multi-area approach to spot trouble. Look for changes in social connections, emotional regulation, school performance and basic functions like eating and sleep. Individual flags mean little, but patterns across multiple areas signal real problems. Sleep disruption particularly impacts everything from anxiety levels to academic performance.When professional help becomes necessary, involve teens in therapist selection to ensure buy-in. School counselors and Psychology Today provide solid starting points for finding local resources. The biggest mistake parents make is assuming they can handle complex mental health issues with the same confidence they bring to other life challenges.Baron challenges the common therapeutic approach of finding personal connections with teen clients. Instead, he maintains clear boundaries while supporting teens in reaching their own goals. Trust develops not through shared experiences but through consistent, non-judgmental support and absolute confidentiality except in safety situations.Mental health conditions aren't just deficits to manage. ADHD provides incredible multitasking abilities once properly channeled. Anxiety and depression can be harnessed as strengths when understood correctly. Baron's favorite life hack involves making decisions within 20 seconds to avoid overthinking paralysis.For parents feeling lost in the modern landscape of teen mental health, Baron's message is clear: educate yourself, create structure, maintain boundaries and don't hesitate to bring in professional support when needed.

Hello, j'espère que tu vas bien, que tu as passé un bel été, et que la rentrée se déroule en douceur. Ça faisait un petit moment que tu n'avais pas entendu ma voix ou lu mes mots : le dernier épisode datait du début du mois d'août. J'ai pris le temps de réfléchir, de poser mes intentions pour ce podcast et pour tout ce que j'ai envie de partager avec toi. J'en suis arrivée à la conclusion que, pour l'instant, un rythme d'un épisode par mois est ce qui me convient le mieux.Je préfère miser sur la régularité et l'engagement plutôt que de me disperser. Bien sûr, si une actualité brûlante surgit ou si un sujet me touche particulièrement, je pourrai toujours faire un épisode bonus. Mais en ce moment, avec la fin d'année qui s'annonce bien chargée, je préfère rester réaliste et tenir la cadence.Et aujourd'hui, j'ai envie de te raconter ce qui a bougé ces dernières semaines, ce qui a traversé ma tête et mon cœur, ce qui m'a révoltée aussi… Parce qu'on va parler de visibilité, de place en librairie, de commentaires parfois violents, mais aussi de mon parcours d'autrice, depuis mes premiers mots d'enfant jusqu'à la signature de mon roman Comète en maison d'édition.Le déclic : chercher des livres qui ressemblent à ComèteTout a commencé par une scène toute simple, presque banale : en juin, j'étais à Paris et j'ai eu envie d'aller fouiller en librairie. Pas pour acheter au hasard, mais pour répondre à une question très précise : où sont rangés les romans contemporains écrits par des personnes noires françaises, avec des personnages noirs ? Pas francophones venus d'ailleurs, pas des traductions, mais bien des voix d'ici, en France.Je suis allée dans trois FNAC et trois grandes librairies. Et j'ai fait chou blanc. Personne n'a pu m'orienter. Je ne trouvais pas ce que je cherchais. Bien sûr, je sais que ces livres existent, mais leur invisibilité m'a sauté au visage. Et immédiatement, une question m'a frappée : le jour où Comète sortira en librairie, où sera-t-il rangé ?Parce que soyons honnêtes : si un roman est rangé par la tranche dans un rayon anonyme, il est invisible. S'il n'est pas mis en avant avec d'autres livres similaires, comment le lecteur ou la lectrice lambda pourra-t-il tomber dessus ? Et si, au contraire, il est tout seul, isolé, est-ce qu'il ne deviendra pas “trop” ? Trop ostentatoire, trop intrigant ?Je me suis perdue dans ces questions, pas toujours rationnelles peut-être, mais profondément liées à une réalité : je n'ai pas trouvé de romans qui ressemblent au mien.Oui, il y a des exceptions, comme Léonora Miano. Mais si on ajoute le critère du Young Adult, alors là… c'est encore plus vide. Et si en plus on cherche un roman contemporain qui ne parle pas uniquement de racisme ou d'esclavage mais aussi d'identité, de trauma, d'amitié, d'amour… on touche au désert.L'invisibilisation : un sujet qu'on ne peut pas taireAu départ, je me suis dit : “ok, c'est ta réflexion perso, pas besoin d'en parler.” Je me suis convaincue que le sujet était déjà “vu, connu, revu”. Mais c'était sans compter sur une vidéo d'une influenceuse littéraire, moisreadingbooks, qui a dénoncé l'absence de personnages noirs sur les couvertures des romances à la FNAC.Sa vidéo, les commentaires, les débats… tout ça m'a rappelé que non, ce n'est pas un sujet clos. L'invisibilisation est toujours là, bien vivace. Et mon expérience dans les rayons parisiens le confirmait.Alors j'ai décidé d'en parler moi aussi. J'ai posté des vidéos, partagé mes réflexions. Et évidemment, les commentaires haineux n'ont pas tardé. J'étais préparée à la critique, mais je ne m'attendais pas à une telle déferlante. Certaines personnes laissent tomber la haine comme on jette un déchet : sans lire, sans chercher à comprendre qui est en face.Parmi ces messages, il y en a un qui m'a particulièrement marquée – au point de m'avoir fait rire tant il était violent. Quelqu'un a écrit que si ces livres n'existaient pas, c'était parce que “les personnes noires ne savent pas écrire”. Oui, tu as bien lu. Je l'ai vu sur TikTok, sur Instagram, sous plusieurs formes, mais toujours avec la même idée.Bien sûr, je sais que ces gens ne représentent pas tout le monde. Mais quand les messages se multiplient, quand ce n'est jamais la même personne et que pourtant les propos se ressemblent, alors oui, ça reflète une manière de penser encore présente en France. Et ça, il faut le dénoncer.Ma réponse : documenter, inspirer, rassemblerPlutôt que de me taire, j'ai décidé de documenter ma vie d'autrice. De montrer les coulisses, les difficultés, les petites victoires aussi. Parce que si je partage, peut-être que d'autres personnes noires oseront le faire aussi. Peut-être qu'on pourra s'allier, se donner des conseils, trouver des moyens d'améliorer notre visibilité en librairie.Parce que soyons clairs : le seul vrai critère devrait être la qualité d'un roman. Pas la couleur de peau de son autrice. Pas le fait que les personnages soient noirs ou pas. Si une histoire est originale, bien écrite, en accord avec la ligne éditoriale d'une maison, pourquoi devrait-elle avoir moins de chances ?Quand on me dit “s'il n'y a pas ces romans, c'est qu'il n'y a pas de demande”… je ne peux pas m'empêcher de repenser à l'industrie cosmétique. Pendant longtemps, les grandes marques proposaient un seul fond de teint “pour toutes les peaux noires”. Elles ignoraient une énorme partie du marché. Puis Rihanna est arrivée avec Fenty Beauty et a prouvé qu'en réalité, la demande était là. Qu'il suffisait d'écouter.Je me demande souvent si un jour, une maison d'édition indépendante aura le courage de créer ses propres canaux de diffusion, ses propres codes, pour répondre à cette demande ignorée. Peut-être que oui. Peut-être que non. Mais ce qui est sûr, c'est qu'avec le contexte actuel en France – où l'extrême droite rachète des groupes éditoriaux – il est urgent qu'on agisse.Du vlog au podcast : trouver le bon formatC'est pour ça que j'ai commencé à poster des vlogs courts sur Instagram. Parce que je sais que beaucoup de gens n'ont pas le temps pour du contenu long. Ils ne lisent même pas les descriptions. Alors j'essaie d'être concise. Mais je sais aussi qu'il y a des personnes comme toi, qui aiment plonger dans du contenu plus long, prendre le temps. C'est pour ça qu'existent ce podcast et cette newsletter : pour raconter autrement.Et pour ce premier “cycle” de vlogs, j'ai demandé à mes abonnés s'ils voulaient que je commence par mon parcours d'autrice ou par mes outils. C'est mon parcours qui a gagné. Alors voilà, je t'emmène avec moi dans ce récit.Les débuts : une machine à écrire et des mots sombresMon histoire avec l'écriture a commencé très tôt. À 6 ans, on m'a offert une petite machine à écrire, sous forme de jouet. J'y tapais des mots, des débuts de phrases, des embryons d'histoires. Mais c'est vraiment à 11 ans que tout s'est déclenché : j'écrivais des nouvelles sombres, parfois macabres. J'avais un côté dark assumé, comme beaucoup d'ados. Et en parallèle, je tenais un journal intime… mais en poésie.Pourquoi la poésie ? Parce qu'au lycée, j'ai découvert Les Fleurs du Mal. Et ce recueil m'a happée. Il m'a donné envie de traduire mes pensées en vers, de transformer mes émotions en images.À 15 ans, j'ai même commencé une saga de science-fiction. J'ai atteint 70 pages avant d'abandonner. Quand je repense à Comète aujourd'hui, je souris : à l'époque, je croyais qu'écrire 70 pages, c'était énorme.La blessure : “tu ne seras pas écrivaine”Et puis il y a eu un moment décisif. J'étais au lycée Louis-le-Grand, l'un des meilleurs de France. J'ai osé montrer mes poèmes à ma prof de français. Sa réponse a été un coup de massue : “ce n'est pas de la poésie, et de toute façon tu ne seras jamais écrivaine, pas en tant que femme noire en France.”Ces mots m'ont blessée profondément. J'ai rangé mes cahiers. Et la vie a pris le dessus. On m'a répété qu'il fallait être autonome, indépendante, surtout en tant que femme noire dans un pays raciste. Alors j'ai suivi le chemin “sûr” : prépa, école de commerce, une carrière dans le marketing digital.Pendant dix ans, j'ai enchaîné désillusions, burn-outs, fatigue. Mais je me disais : “au pire, tu écriras à la retraite.”La renaissance : Instagram et l'auto-éditionPuis il y a eu le confinement. Une pause forcée. Un moment de respiration. Et là, je me suis dit : “et si c'était le moment de revenir à ton rêve d'enfant ?”J'ai ouvert un compte Instagram en mai 2020. J'ai posté des textes. Les retours ont été encourageants. Et en décembre, six mois plus tard, j'ai auto-publié mon premier recueil : au-delà de nos maux. Il s'est vendu à près de 2000 exemplaires, dont 500 rien que la première année.En 2021, j'ai commencé à animer des ateliers d'écriture. En 2023, j'ai publié un deuxième recueil, tant que j'aimerai. Et surtout, j'ai pris une décision : me lancer dans l'écriture d'un roman.L'étape décisive : la formation LICARES et ComètePour ne pas me lancer dans le vide, j'ai suivi la formation LICARES (avec le code promo MAHUNA, tu bénéficies d'une réduction, détails en bas). Elle m'a appris la structure, la rigueur, les attentes du monde éditorial. J'ai compris que l'édition n'était pas seulement une affaire de passion, mais aussi une entreprise avec ses contraintes.Grâce à cette formation, j'ai pu développer Comète. L'idée est née en mars 2024, nourrie par plusieurs projets avortés. J'ai écrit, réécrit, bêta-testé. En janvier 2025, le manuscrit était terminé. En avril, j'ai rencontré mon éditrice. En juin, j'ai signé le contrat.Tout est allé vite. Trop vite presque. Mais j'ai eu cette chance incroyable : c'est l'éditrice qui est venue me chercher.Et maintenant ?Aujourd'hui, j'attends ses retours pour entamer les corrections éditoriales. En parallèle, j'ai déjà terminé le tome 2, qui est en réalité un préquel. Je travaille aussi avec mon agente littéraire pour trouver la bonne maison.Quand je regarde mon parcours, je me sens encore “bébé autrice”. Mon premier livre auto-édité est sorti en 2020 : ça ne fait “que” quatre ans. Mais en même temps, j'ai l'impression d'avoir parcouru un monde.Et surtout, je sais pourquoi j'écris. J'écris pour raconter mes histoires, mais aussi pour réduire l'invisibilisation. Pour qu'un jour, une jeune fille noire de 11 ans puisse entrer dans une librairie et trouver un roman où elle se reconnaît.Je sais que je ne suis pas la première à porter cette lutte. Mais je crois à la force du nombre, à la puissance des voix qui s'élèvent. Tant qu'on continue d'en parler, il n'y a pas de raison pour que rien ne change.Alors je continuerai, sur Instagram, dans ce podcast, dans cette newsletter. Je continuerai à écrire mes colères, mes espoirs, mes histoires. Parce qu'au fond, tout est lié : la littérature, la visibilité, l'émotion, le soin.Merci d'avoir pris le temps de me lire. Merci d'être là. Et prends soin de toi, de tes émotions, de ta créativité. On en aura besoin pour la suite.La Formation LICARESAvec le code MAHUNA (lien affilié), bénéficie de 80€ de réductionDates : Du 6 octobre au 14 décembre 2025Inscriptions ouvertes : Du 8 septembre au 28 septembreSi tu ne sais pas par où commencer pour écrire un roman, si tu veux envoyer un roman de qualité professionnel et le faire correctement, je te recommande cette formation.

”Why are some people treated differently? Why are some people chosen ones for no particular reason? And why do some people get to have that extra shine?” — Victoria AveyardUnfairness is a pervasive theme in a lot of fantasy fiction. With battles between good and evil dominating title after title, these tales appear to have a tight grasp on fairness and justice. But for Victoria Aveyard, the world of fantasy frequently falls short on these promises. Even in some of her favorite works, the light may ultimately overcome the darkness, but not every character is given a fair chance to shine. Victoria Aveyard is the number one New York Times bestselling author of The Red Queen series and the Realm Breaker series. In her work, she creates epic fantasy landscapes where women loom large and conventions around chosen characters are challenged.In this episode, Victoria opens up about why her sense of fairness took shape early, shares which undersized movie character is her icon, and reflects on why there's no escaping politics in literature. Settle in for a fast-paced episode filled with humor and a variety of Victoria's hot takes. ***For her reading challenge, Chosen/Unchosen, Victoria encourages readers to question the trope of “the chosen one.” She asks us to challenge why some are handed the quest, the crown, or the magic…and what happens to everyone else.Peruse selected titles and Victoria's complete reading challenge for free at thereadingculturepod.com/victoria-aveyard***This week's Beanstack Featured Librarian is Camille Perez, a former media specialist at the elementary and high school levels in Osceola County, Florida, and now a Beanstack team member.

Young adult professionals oftentimes relocate to new communities as they start a career. As they seek to practice their faith in a new community, they can encounter stumbling blocks as they integrate into parish life after experiencing college campus ministry. Listen to Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C share more in this segment of the Son Rise Morning Show on Sacred Heart Radio, about how parishes can welcome and help young adult professionals integrate into the larger community of faith.College campus ministries offer young adults numerous faith-based events and catechesis that cater to the students' needs. After graduation, some young professionals may have a hard time finding a sense of community in a new parish, which may lead to them leaving the faith all together. To address the needs of young adults in parish communities, parishes need to prioritize welcoming and getting to know young adult community members. Parishes could offer mentorship opportunities to young adults and specifically inviting the young adults into service.Notes:Listen to On Mission: The Knights of ColumbusFriends Help You Stay Catholic in CollegeYoung SaintsSpiritual Growth During Collegiate YearsOther episodes about Young Adults From the Ad Infinitum blog:10 Ways to Remain Active in Your Faith Life During CollegeYoung Adults Follow us:The Catholic Apostolate CenterThe Center's podcast websiteInstagramFacebookApple PodcastsSpotify Fr.

In this episode of Mind the Kids, ‘Rewilding Childhood: Why Nature Matters in Mental Health' host Mark Tebbs sits down with Dr. Nicole Harris, educational psychologist and lead author of a major systematic review on nature connectedness in children and young people. Together, they explore why fostering a felt relationship with nature—beyond simply spending time outdoors—can be transformative for learning, behaviour, and wellbeing. Dr. Harris explains that nature connectedness is about developing a meaningful, emotional bond with the natural world—a connection that supports not only cognitive skills like attention, but also social skills and self-regulation. Drawing on theories such as attention restoration, stress reduction, and the emerging polyvagal theory, the conversation unpacks how nature can help calm the nervous system, making children more ready to learn and engage. The discussion highlights practical, low-cost ways schools and communities can nurture nature connectedness, from art projects and gardening to simply lying in the grass and noticing the world. Importantly, Dr. Harris emphasizes that these activities need not require wild landscapes; even small, local green spaces can make a difference. The episode also addresses the real-world barriers schools face—curriculum pressures, time constraints, and inequitable access to green space—arguing for a systems approach and policy changes to ensure all children benefit. Dr. Harris notes that children in more deprived areas have less access to nature, making it even more vital to embed nature connectedness into the curriculum for equity and long-term planetary health. Listeners will learn about the links between nature connectedness and pro-environmental behaviours, the complex relationship with eco-anxiety, and the potential for nature-based activities to support children with special educational needs.

You step in to help, ease your kid's struggles, but is your help actually helpful or is it keeping your struggling teen or young adult from making the changes they need most? You want the best for them, but how can you influence internal change?It's a painful truth many parents don't realize: sometimes “help” becomes enabling. By rescuing your struggling teen from discomfort, whether through financial support, extra comforts, or stepping in to soften the consequences, you may unintentionally be preventing the internal accountability that fuels real, lasting change.In this conversation, Seth and I unpack how easy it is to blur the line between helping and enabling, why it happens, and how you can shift toward offering the kind of support that encourages your teen to take ownership of their choices.In this episode on helping vs. enabling your struggling teen, we discuss:How parents unknowingly provide comforts that block internal change;Why lasting transformation only happens when teens feel consequences;The emotional toll on parents who “rescue” and how to handle it;Red flags that signal you might be enabling instead of supporting;What true support looks like and why it often feels so hard;And much more.Looking for support?

Matthew 5-7 contains the longest of Jesus' collected teachings. Within it are some of the most well-known and quoted passages not just from Jesus' life, or the bible, but in all of religious history. Not only is it the most well-known and quoted, but it is often the most misunderstood. In the book of Matthew, Jesus' ministry begins with him preaching the “good news (or the gospel) of the kingdom.” It is here in the Sermon on the Mount that Jesus describes what life in this kingdom is like, how those who are a part of this kingdom of heaven should and can live. Jesus challenges our fundamental assumptions of happiness, righteousness, love, anger, obedience, and so much more. By this Jesus describes a kingdom in which true happiness, true righteousness, true obedience, true love can be a reality for us, on earth “As it is in Heaven.”Within all of us is a deep longing for happiness. Behind everything we do, every choice we make, there is a hope and a desire that it will ultimately make us happy. Our greatest goal and desire is true happiness and satisfaction. Jesus begins the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew 5:1-16, by describing that those who are in this kingdom of God are those who will be truly and eternally happy, or “blessed.” In this message, Brent Cummings, our Young Adults pastor, walks us through what Jesus describes true happiness looks like, and what effect this true happiness will have on the world. We hope you're encouraged by this podcast!

As a parent of a young adult, I've been a witness to this void of purpose my kids seem to have. They have floundered through so many things - aimless and frustrated. As a parent I want to help them, but it's hard to help and honor boundaries all at the same time. We, as a community, want to help the young adults around us find their purpose, but we simply don't know where to start. Brittany was a fantastic and wise resource to help us tackle this curious question. Take a listen!

Neither foster care nor homelessness are isolated issues. They both intersect with numerous social issues—including each other.For example, homelessness is a contributing factor to why many children end up in the child welfare system, and it's also a risk factor that can impact youth who are already involved in or aging out of foster care.Of the 173 youth and young adults currently on the Coalition for the Homeless's list for Houston, approximately 25% of them have been involved in foster care in some capacity.Today, we are grateful to have two guests joining us for a conversation on this crucial topic. We sat down for a discussion with Quana Smith, the Manager of Youth Programs at the Coalition for the Homeless (CFTH) in Houston and Harris County, and Danielle Stephen, a passionate young adult who is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of young people experiencing homelessness.In this episode, you'll hear some of the reasons why youth and young adults are facing homelessness, key ways to offer circumstance-changing support, the importance of a caring adult who will go the extra mile, and much more.Find the show notes and links to anything we discussed here: https://riversideproject.org/podcast/smith-stephen-41/

CardioNerds guest host Dr. Colin Blumenthal joins Dr. Juma Bin Firos and Dr. Aishwarya Verma from the Trinity Health Livonia Hospital to discuss a fascinating case involving malignant ventricular arrhythmias. Expert commentary is provided by Dr. Mohammed Ali-Jazayeri. Audio editing for this episode was performed by CardioNerds Intern, Julia Marques Fernandes.  This case explores the puzzling presentation of exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia in a young, otherwise healthy male who suffered recurrent out-of-hospital cardiac arrests. With no traditional risk factors and an unremarkable ischemic workup, the challenge lay in uncovering the underlying cause of his malignant arrhythmias. Electrophysiology studies and advanced imaging played a pivotal role in systematically narrowing the differentials, revealing an unexpected arrhythmogenic substrate. This episode delves into the diagnostic dilemma, the role of EP testing, and the critical decision-making surrounding ICD placement in a patient with a concealed but life-threatening condition.  US Cardiology Review is now the official journal of CardioNerds!

Pearls- Malignant Ventricular Arrhythmias This case highlights the challenges and importance of diagnosing and managing ventricular arrhythmias in young, seemingly healthy individuals. Here are five key takeaways from the episode:  Electrophysiology (EP) studies play a crucial role in identifying arrhythmogenic substrates in patients with exercise-induced ventricular tachycardia (VT) without obvious structural heart disease. In this case, substrate mapping revealed late abnormal ventricular afterdepolarizations in the basal inferior left ventricle, providing valuable insights into the underlying mechanism.  Cardiac MRI can be a powerful tool for detecting subtle myocardial abnormalities. The subepicardial late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) in the lateral and inferior LV walls suggested an underlying myocardial process, even when other imaging modalities appeared normal.  The VT morphology can provide clues about the underlying mechanism. In this case, the right bundle branch block pattern with a northwest axis and shifting exit sites pointed towards a scar-mediated mechanism rather than a channelopathy or idiopathic VT.  Implantable cardioverter-defibrillator (ICD) placement is crucial for secondary prevention of sudden cardiac death (SCD) in patients with malignant ventricular arrhythmias, even in young individuals. The patient's initial deferral of ICD implantation highlights the importance of shared decision-making and patient education in these complex cases.  "Scar-mediated VT introduces the risk of new arrhythmogenic substrates over time, reinforcing the need for ICD therapy even when catheter ablation is considered." This pearl emphasizes the dynamic nature of the arrhythmogenic substrate and the importance of long-term risk mitigation strategies.  Notes - Malignant Ventricular Arrhythmias Notes were drafted by Juma Bin Firos.  1. What underlying pathologies cause ventricular arrhythmias in young patients without overt structural heart disease? Myocardial fibrosis: Detected via late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) on cardiac MRI Present in 38% of nonischemic cardiomyopathy cases Increases sudden cardiac death (SCD) risk 5-fold Often localized to subepicardial regions, particularly in the inferolateral left ventricle (LV) May precede overt systolic dysfunction by years Subclinical cardiomyopathy: 67% of young VT patients show subtle cardiac dysfunction Suggests VT may be the first manifestation of cardiomyopathy

“She's triple negative and has a very, very aggressive tumor. Instead of going on spring break that year, she sat in our chemo room and got chemo. Her friends from college are good to try to keep her involved and try to surround her and encourage her, but they're right now in very, very different spots in their lives. She's fighting for her life; her friends are fighting for the grade they get in a class—and that's different,” ONS member Kristi Orbaugh, MSN, NP, AOCN®, AOCNP®, nurse practitioner at Community Hospital North Cancer Center in Indianapolis, IN, told Jaime Weimer, MSN, RN, AGCNS-BS, AOCNS®, manager of oncology nursing practice at ONS, during a conversation about metastatic breast cancer in adolescent and young adult patients.

Some groups will say 15–39, but right around that age. When we think about that age, think about what all could be going on during those ages. Late teenagers, they may be going off to college, they may be graduating high school, trying to set up their own life, trying to become independent from mom and dad. If you're talking about early to mid 30s, you could be talking about young parents, young career folks. So, just setting that into place makes you realize this can be a very tumultuous time for folks.” TS 2:06 “Unfortunately, this group tends to have more aggressive subtypes. We see more triple-negative in this group. We see more hormone-negative, HER2-positive in this group. Normal breast cancer cells should be stimulated by hormone. They are stimulated by hormones. So when you have a breast cancer cell that is not driven by hormones, it's much more difficult to treat. We tend to see more aggressiveness in these tumors. We also see a higher incidence in non-Caucasian folks in this age group compared to the older age groups.” TS 4:53 “I think we have gotten much better about understanding the importance of fertility preservation and getting reproductive endocrinologists in, sooner rather than later. If we have earlier-stage cancers and we have patients that want to try to preserve eggs, preserve fertility, sperm banking. … If you have that time to talk to them—maybe a 21-year-old—the primary thing on her mind is not how many children she wants to have one day. Maybe she's not even thought about having kids yet. It's still a question you need to [ask]. Do you want to try to preserve fertility? Do you want to try to harvest some eggs? That's a conversation that needs to be had and is very, very important for that age group.” TS 10:35 “One thing that helps is if you can get them [into] reputable support groups with people their own age that are going through what they're going through. Someone else that doesn't have hair, someone else that isn't going to make it to the big board meeting or isn't going to get the promotion this year because they've had to take a medical leave. Someone else that understands it differently.” TS 16:47 “In breast cancer, many of those biomarkers just get reflexed. And what I mean by reflexed is a breast cancer pathology comes through, or a breast cancer specimen comes through, and it just automatically gets tested for X, Y, Z. HER2 and of course ER/PR. Now we understand that we don't just need to know whether they're HER2 positive or HER2 negative. We need to know: What is the IHC score? And even if the IHC score is zero, is there any membrane staining? And then we need to know what's their ESR1, their PTEN, their AKT, their PIK3CA. Those are so important to know.” TS 18:11 “I think it's important to try to remember what our priorities were when we were in our 20s—what our priorities were when we were starting out as young mothers or starting out our career. Because that's where these folks are. … I can't imagine in the midst of college, when I'm trying to be independent, to suddenly have to be at home and rely on my mom to take me to my chemo appointment. … So I think one really important bias is to remember where they are in the developmental stages of life. They're not 40-something. They haven't lived X amount of life, and we need to take a step back and try to remember when we were their age, what was important to us? Where were our priorities at that point? And then hear them when they're telling us what's important to them.” TS 29:22 “From a female standpoint … we frequently throw these patients into menopause or have early menopausal symptoms, and I think we forget how devastating that can be. … They now are at higher risk for osteopenia or osteoporosis. … And then we tell people, ‘Be as normal as possible, get back and do those normal things.' Well, they're in a relationship, and they want to be intimate [but] suddenly having sexual intercourse is incredibly painful. Or if it's not painful, sometimes they've just lost pure interest in that. They don't feel confident about their body. All of those things need to be addressed because patients are trying to live each day as normally as possible.” TS 31:55

“Christian ministry includes fully supported church workers, those bivocational only out of financial necessity, and those who have chosen to serve covocationally. All should be honored, but one's attitude makes a difference.”  So writes Richard D. Oliver in his new book,  A Covocational Attitude: Sharing the Motivational Convictions of the Apostle Paul. In this episode of the Influence Podcast, I talk to Oliver regarding the apostle Paul's attitude to receiving financial support, and how the apostle's attitude should influence our own. I'm George P. Wood, executive editor of Influencemagazine and your host. Richard D. Oliver is an ordained Assemblies of God minister with five decades of experience as a bivocational pastor in Michigan, Indiana, and Missouri. A Covocational Attitude draws on research from his Doctor of Ministry project at Assemblies of God Theological Seminary in Springfield, Missouri. ————— This episode of the Influence podcast is brought to you by My Healthy Church, distributors of 30 Under 30.

She emphasizes how these tests can uncover underlying health issues that might not be apparent through conventional medical evaluations. Dee discusses various tests, including the Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis (HTMA), and their roles in identifying nutrient imbalances, heavy metal toxicity, and adrenal function.

The criminal justice system in the U.S. is, at its core, a healthcare issue, one that demands healing, not punishment. In this episode, Gregg Croteau, CEO of UTEC, shares how his organization helps justice-involved young adults escape cycles of violence and incarceration through education, employment, and unwavering support. Founded by young people in response to gang violence, UTEC now focuses on those aged 18–25, the group most at risk of returning to prison. Through social enterprises like mattress recycling and food services, participants are paid while also receiving therapy, childcare, coaching, and education. Gregg emphasizes the need for systemic change, including better mental health care, reentry support, and human connection, urging a more restorative approach to justice.
