Why do I keep putting myself last, people-pleasing, over-giving, and taking care of everyone else before myself? If you've struggled with putting yourself first, setting boundaries, saying no without guilt, asking for help, or prioritizing your own needs, this episode of Holistic Mama Speaks explores a question you may have never considered.What are you getting from putting yourself last?You may not consciously choose to over-give or exhaust yourself. But sometimes an old pattern continues because it's meeting a deeper need.Maybe being needed makes you feel valuable. Maybe saying yes helps you avoid guilt or disappointing someone. Maybe doing everything yourself gives you a sense of control. Or maybe being “the strong one” has become part of your identity.In this short episode, Carrie Marie Vaughn explores the connection between people-pleasing, self-worth, boundaries, identity, over-giving, receiving support, and the hidden reasons women keep putting themselves last.You'll also get one simple question to help you recognize what's underneath the pattern so you can begin making different choices.Because getting unstuck isn't only about changing what you do. Sometimes you have to understand why the old behavior has been so hard to let go of.Want to go deeper? Carrie Marie's Stuck Point Quiz and Stuck Point Scan help uncover what's keeping you stuck, and inside the Rich Girl Network women's community, you'll work on the habits, beliefs, boundaries, self-talk, worth, receiving, and identity that help you become the woman you want to be.Learn more at Building-Upward.com/WomenIf you're craving more encouragement, connection, and meaningful relationships to go along with a life-changing personal development experience, you'll love the brand new 12-month guided personal transformation experience for women.✨ WOMEN'S 12-MONTH PERSONAL TRANSFORMATION EXPERIENCE⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://Building-Upward.com/Women⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠✨ FREE STUCK POINT QUIZFeeling stuck, overwhelmed, stressed, or unsure why you keep falling into the same patterns?

Is it possible to eat nourishing whole foods without letting grocery costs overwhelm your budget? Grocery industry insider and author Carol Ann Kates joins Dr. Gillian Lockitch to share practical ways to plan meals, shop sales, select produce, understand labels, and store food so less goes to waste. Their conversation offers useful ideas for smaller households as well as families. Rising prices and confusing product claims can make a healthy grocery trip feel expensive and complicated. A thoughtful plan can help you bring home only food you will enjoy and use. For people who want to stay healthy and independent as they age, a sustainable eating routine has to work in everyday life. Carol Ann explains how planning around weekly specials, checking what is already in the pantry, and shopping with a list can protect both your food budget and your time.  Raised in her family's corner market, Carol Ann later helped run its supermarkets and wrote recipes for store advertisements. She is the author of "Grocery Shopping Secrets" and the award-winning cookbook "Secret Recipes from the Corner Market". She shares what that experience taught her about fresh ingredients and the real cost of convenience. Dr. Gillian and Carol Ann discuss frozen versus fresh vegetables, pre-cut produce, choosing avocados, prioritizing purchases when organic foods cost more, and interpreting food date labels. They also explore storage habits, batch cooking, and ways to make the same ingredients work across several meals. They recommend starting with one change before your next trip: plan the week's meals around what you already have in your kitchen and what you will actually eat. Episode Timeline: 00:30 — Why healthy food and grocery costs belong in the same conversation 04:34 — Carol Ann's family markets and the path to her books 10:50 — Meal planning around store specials 11:48 — Lists, impulse buys, coupons, and loyalty offers 14:06 — Pantry organization, food waste, and date labels 18:47 — Shopping for whole foods, frozen produce, and convenience costs 22:12 — Organic produce and the Dirty Dozen/Clean Fifteen discussion 26:07 — Grass-fed and free-range labels; where Carol Ann prioritizes spending 28:44 — Selecting avocados 29:59 — Produce storage and reducing spoilage 32:51 — Shopping and cooking for one or two 34:24 — One practical change before your next grocery trip Connect with Carol Ann Kates https://www.facebook.com/p/Carol-Ann-Kates-Kitchen https://www.carolannkates.com https://www.linkedin.com/in/carol-ann-kates https://www.instagram.com/carolannkates https://www.pinterest.com/CarolAnnKates/Pinterest https://x.com/CarolAnnKates Connect with Your Host, Dr. Gillian Lockitch Explore physician-led resources designed to help midlife and older women remain healthy, active, independent, and engaged in life.

David Raye, a true community champion. He shares his journey from, New Jersey, to becoming a beloved Grayslake resident. He discusses founding one of Illinois' first Goddard Schools, his dedication to SEDOL's special education programs, international mission work in India, and supporting Bernie's Book Bank. David's passion for children and community shines throughout. He also shares fun personal insights, from his love of classic rock to his dream of visiting Poland. Hey everyone, It's your host from "Discovering Grayslake," coming to you from my new office in Commerce Plaza! It feels great to be settled in, and I'm so excited to share this week's conversation with you. I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with a true Grayslake cornerstone, David Raye. His story is one of those that reminds you just how much heart and dedication one person can pour into a community. We talked about everything from his journey from New Jersey to our hometown, to the incredible work he's done for kids both here and around the world. This episode is packed with inspiration, but here are a few things that really stuck with me: *   **From Software to Significance:** Can you imagine leaving a 20-year corporate career to start something completely new? David did just that. He shared how a program called "Success to Significance" helped him pivot from the software world to opening one of the first Goddard Schools in Illinois, right here in Grayslake. It's a powerful reminder that it's never too late to find more meaningful work. *   **The Ripple Effect of a "Yes":** David's community involvement started with a simple invitation to a dinner dance for SEDOL (the Special Education District of Lake County). That one "yes" led to years of service on their board and involvement with so many other amazing groups like the Exchange Club and Bernie's Book Bank. It really makes you think about the power of showing up. *   **Grayslake's Heart Goes Global:** I was fascinated to learn how David's work extends all the way to Chennai, India. He's been instrumental in helping establish schools for children in slums, giving them a chance to break the cycle of poverty. It's incredible to know that the spirit of our community is making a difference thousands of miles away. *   **A Little Hometown Charm:** We also had some fun, of course! I asked David about his first car (a $200 Plymouth Duster!), his favorite Grayslake event (Summer Days, naturally), and the first concert he ever saw (Elton John dressed as the Statue of Liberty!). It's these little stories that truly connect us. David's story is a testament to what makes Grayslake so special—it's a place where people genuinely care and work to make a difference. If you're looking for a dose of inspiration or want to learn how you can get more involved locally, you won't want to miss this conversation. Grab a coffee, take a listen, and let's all get inspired to do a few random acts of kindness today.   Talk to you soon, Your Host,   Discovering Grayslake

Hello to my friends across the globe and welcome to my newest installment. Starting us off with a run of original 45's including a double-feature from Sly and The Family Stone, as well as what most likely what would be my favorite portion of this episode, the live performance of Distant Lover by Marvin Gaye. That thing kicks like a mule and remains one of my favorite 45 pickups. I've recently developed somewhat of a sickness. Over the weekend, I found myself hopscotching from store to store in search of cool movies on VHS. Just today I finally found a copy of Goodfellas, which sent me over the moon. In that same lot, I walked away with Anaconda, Godzilla, Friday Night Lights, the first Pokemon movie. Speaking of which, I stopped by one of my local card shops as well and added another piece to the vintage Japanese Pokemon collection. Added Erika's Venusaur for those who speak the language. Just over a summer of trading I've amassed a Pokemon PC worth a down payment. Not complimenting myself or seeking glory, just telling my listening audience that this Pokemon market is wild and if you know what you're doing, if you can predict the market, if you can bend spoons with your mind? You can crush it in your local Pokemon scene. Whatever. Oh yeah, I found all 3 of The Godfather movies over the weekend as well, watched Godfather 1 by myself and cried. Sick move. I could barely get up and get a snack it was so good. Each scene is a master class in itself and that motion picture gets better and better each time I consume it.

Hello to my listening populous via the internet. This episode contains little to no rhyme or reason as I have just conducted a list of songs that I would like to sit here and listen to. Testing to see the audible difference since adding the subwoofer to the setup. I do have to tame the bass in certain songs in post, running them through an EQ because the bass is entirely too wicked and I'd hate to blow Keisha's speakers. For those of you out there who speak Pokemon, I am still sweating from a trade that I did earlier today with a fella who, deservingly, is locally referred to as 'Zard King'. I have humbly approached him seeking his council before, but this time was different. I approached him loaded with my good card binder and we bartered. I parted with my Aquapolis Umbreon, Japanese Dark Zard, and the Psyduck question mark promo for a super minty copy of my favorite card in existence, the banned Japanese version of Sabrina's Gengar. It's my favorite for multiple reasons. It's Gengar, it's banned and has Christianity tied into it. Crosses serving as gravestones in the Japanese version alone make this card awesome to me. Very few Pokemon cards have Christianity portrayed in them and Gengar being one of the absolute bros? It's hard for me to feel bad about this one. Has a swirl on it. I'm a swirl at this point. Completely swirled out the game. No big deal. Let me stop niche mogging and go to sleep. What's actually good Keisha.  Singapore. Frankfurt.Your Host with the Most,Witwicka Juan Don

What You Say is Not What They Hear What is the Difference Between Your Intended and Unintend Message? Episode 313 (Solo show featuring George Torok) In this episode we explore: why your whole message includes more than the words you intend to send four reasons your intended message might not get through why clarity in your head does not guarantee clarity for the listener how beliefs and past experiences filter what people hear how emotional state changes the meaning people receive why setting and delivery method influence interpretation how recent events can reshape audience receptiveness why unintended messages act like static around your main point how vocabulary and grammar influence credibility how body language can contradict spoken words how pace, pitch and inflection alter meaning why missing information can distract listeners how audience engagement strengthens communication how to reduce unintended messages before they sabotage your intended message ----- Your Host, George Torok: Is known as the Speech Coach for Executives because he's been coaching executive leaders to convey their messages with more confidence and success for 30 years. For 19 years, he hosted the radio show, Business in Motion, interviewing over 600 business and community leaders. As host of the podcast, Your Intended Message, he has interviewed communication specialists from 16 countries. George is co-author of the national bestseller, Secrets of Power Marketing, and contributed to 12 other books. His articles have been featured in magazines around the world, and he's written over 2,000 blog posts. An adventurer, he's visited over 30 countries on five continents and has run 12 marathons. ----- Key Lessons from this episode: Your whole message includes both the message you intend to send and the unintended messages that travel with it. Clarify your message before you speak. A message that feels clear in your head might become confusing when converted into words. Your intended message can fail because people were not listening, did not understand you or did not believe you. Communication requires several translations: from the thoughts in your head, into words, through the listener's filters and finally into meaning in their mind. Your audience filters your message through beliefs, past experiences, emotional state, setting, perspective and recent events. Recent experiences can influence how people receive your next message. An unresolved issue might block acceptance of a new idea. Unintended messages create communication static that can blur, weaken or contradict what you meant to convey. Vocabulary and grammar send messages about clarity, credibility and professionalism beyond the literal meaning of your words. Body language and voice can support your intended message or create doubt when they conflict with your words. The method of delivery matters. Email, phone, video, coffee conversation and boardroom discussion each shape how a message is received. Missing information can distract listeners when you raise a question but fail to answer it. Audience engagement strengthens the message. Reading slides or text can weaken connection and reduce attention. Distractions exist in the room, on the screen and inside the listener's mind. Effective communicators pay attention not only to what they intend to say, but also to the unintended messages attached to their delivery. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills. We'll examine the aspects of how we communicate one-to-one, one to few and one to many – plus that important conversation, one to self. In these interviews we will explore presentation skills, public speaking, conversation, persuasion, negotiation, sales conversations, marketing, team meetings, social media, branding, self talk and more.   Your host is George Torok George is a specialist in communication skills.

“Every woman deserves the chance to have a real discussion about hormone therapy — and make whatever decision is right for her. I'm here to give information and answer questions. It's your body.”— Dr. Jacqueline RiedelThe doctor who finally has time for youDr. Jacqueline Riedel, DO spent 15 years in family medicine where she learned this: women's hormonal health in midlife was profoundly under-treated and misunderstood. In a busy hospital-based clinic, she'd start a long-overdue conversation with a patient about perimenopause symptoms… and have to cut it off because the schedule demanded it.So she left. She opened Magnolia Midlife Women's Health, a direct-care practice built on something simple but radical: unhurried, conversational visits where women can actually ask their questions, get real answers, and leave feeling seen.In this conversation, she covers what's really happening hormonally in your 30s, 40s, and 50s and why everything you were told to fear about hormone therapy probably isn't the full story.Perimenopause starts earlier than you thinkDr. Riedel sees women with perimenopause symptoms long before any changes in the menstrual cycle. If you've been dismissed, or told your symptoms are just stress or mom-brain, you're not alone. Symptoms she commonly sees:• New insomnia: can't fall asleep or waking for no apparent reason• Anxiety, often misread as “just life stress”• Persistent, unexplained fatigue• Hot flashes and night sweats• Mood changes including irritability, low mood, brain fog• Cycle irregularities such as heavier periods, irregular timingDr. Riedel's approach: map symptoms to your cycle. When do they happen? Are there patterns? She also rules out other common causes, including thyroid issues and iron deficiency before exploring hormone therapy as an option.MYTH BUSTINGThe fears holding women back from reliefTwo decades after the Women's Health Initiative (WHI) study was misread and sensationalized, fear still dominates the conversation around hormone therapy. Dr. Riedel sets the record straight.Myth 1: Hormone therapy causes breast cancer.Fact: Long-term WHI follow-up showed women in the hormone treatment group had lower rates of breast cancer. Even a first-degree family history is not a contraindication. And if breast cancer does occur in someone using MHT, their risk of dying is actually lower than in those not using it.Myth 2: The doses in MHT are dangerously high.Fact: Menopausal hormone therapy doses are far lower than those in oral contraceptive pills. If you'd prescribe the pill, you can't logically call MHT dangerous.Myth 3: Vaginal estrogen has systemic effects and should be avoided in cancer history.Fact: Topical vaginal estrogen has negligible systemic absorption. It reduces UTIs, yeast infections, urinary frequency, and pelvic floor dysfunction, even in women under active breast cancer treatment, per emerging oncology research. The FDA recently removed the black-box warning.TREATMENT OVERVIEWHow Dr. Riedel approaches careThere's no single protocol. Dr. Riedel listens first, identifying the top two or three symptoms most affecting quality of life, and builds from there.Progesterone for sleep & anxiety• Stimulates GABA production, a calming neurotransmitter• Helps with sleep onset and staying asleep• Reduces the racing mind at 2am• Often the first place she startsEstrogen for vasomotor symptoms• Addresses night sweats, hot flashes, palpitations• Keeps estrogen levels from dropping to “empty”• Preferred as transdermal (patch, gel, spray) to avoid blood clot risk• Added when progesterone alone isn't enoughVaginal estrogen for urogenital health• Reduces painful intercourse and dryness• Decreases UTIs and yeast infections• Supports pelvic floor health long-term• About 50% of women need this even on systemic estrogenNon-hormonal options when hormones aren't right• Newer medications targeting particular neurons in the hypothalamus (hot flash regulation)Things you can do and questions to askDr. Riedel's conversation offers practical starting points for women navigating this transition on their own or with a provider.01. Track your symptoms in relation to your cycleSleep disruption, anxiety, and mood changes that follow a cyclic pattern are often hormonal in origin. Note when in your cycle you feel worst because this information is gold for any provider visit.02. Ask your doctor to rule out thyroid and iron firstFatigue, brain fog, and sleep issues can also come from iron deficiency or thyroid dysfunction. Simple labs can clarify what you're actually dealing with before hormones enter the picture.03. Reconsider what's in your sleep toolkitAlcohol before bed worsens sleep, hot flashes, and anxiety, even though it feels like it helps. Benadryl/ZQuil, Ambien, and benzodiazepines disrupt true sleep architecture. CBT for insomnia has strong evidence and virtually zero side effects. 06. Consider this a second puberty — not a declineMidlife is a genuine developmental threshold. Dr. Riedel and Margaret Mead's concept of “postmenopausal zest” both point in the same direction: this can be a time of clarity, reclaimed energy, and real possibility if you get the support your body actually needs.REFERENCES & RESOURCES[Podcast] Kelly Casperson, MD — You Are Not BrokenUrologist and leading voice in the menopause space.

All genres, obviously. Lightnin' Hopkins, Hendrix, Frank Ocean, Jai Paul, Fred Again and more of the usual suspects are featured in this episode with no surprise. I have recently went back and watched some really good movies lately. My parents were in town and while they were here we consumed Kicking and Screaming (RIP Robert Duvall), Beverly Hills Ninja and Sandlot. All of which hold their comedic value til this day. After my parents left, in my depression I watched the first three Pirates of the Caribbean flicks and I have to say.. Those surprisingly surpassed my expectations and I'm glad that I revisited them. I always liked the Davy Jones character and I totally crush it as Jack Sparrow for Halloween. In separate news, I CRUUUUSHED it with Pokemon cards this weekend.

What does it take for a single idea to travel from a research lab in New Haven to war zones in Uganda, refugee camps in Malaysia, and clinics across 30 countries and six continents? In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Myrna Weissman, one of the most consequential figures in modern psychiatry, to find out.Dr. Weissman co-developed Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT) alongside her late husband, Dr. Gerald Klerman, on a simple premise: that human suffering is deeply tied to human connection. Grief. Conflict. Loneliness. Life upended. These are not niche clinical categories, but rather a universal language of distress. And IPT was built to respond to it.In this conversation, Dr. Weissman reflects on five decades of research, the pandemic-era project that became a sweeping global volume (now available free via open access), and what it means to build something that outlives its origins. *This episode briefly mentions suicide.(Re-post: This is one of our most beloved episodes, brought back by popular demand. If you've heard it before, we hope it moves you just as much the second time.)What Is Interpersonal Therapy (IPT) and Why Does It Work?IPT links the emergence of psychiatric symptoms to what is happening in a person's current life. It focuses on four core problem areas:1. Grief — the loss of a loved one2. Disputes — conflict with someone important to you3. Transitions — life changes, even positive ones, that disrupt relationships4. Loneliness/Isolation — chronic or newly developed lack of attachmentThese four areas have proven to resonate across vastly different cultures because they reflect fundamental aspects of the human condition. Dr. Weissman emphasizes that IPT is not the only evidence-based psychotherapy — it is “one tool in the toolbox, not a religion.”IPT for AdolescentsAdolescence is a prime time for IPT's problem areas, especially disputes, transitions, and loneliness. Key takeaways for parents:• Try to understand the specific stressors behind an adolescent's symptoms rather than reacting to global, dramatic statements.• Always be alert to the possibility of suicidal ideation.• Communication barriers between teens and parents are common; a trusted third party (grandparent, therapist, family friend) can sometimes serve as a valuable bridge.The New Book: IPT Around the WorldThis book is now available open access for readers everywhere!The COVID-19 pandemic gave Dr. Weissman the unexpected opportunity to connect with IPT practitioners worldwide. What began as a routine update to the standard IPT manual grew into a sweeping collaborative volume covering more than 30 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Americas. Contributors were asked: What are you doing? What works? What doesn't? What adaptations did you need to make?Notable chapters include:• Uganda — IPT was introduced around 2003 amid civil war and a mental health crisis. A landmark clinical trial published in JAMA confirmed its effectiveness. Sean Mabry, a former WHO worker, went on to treat hundreds of thousands of people using IPT, even by telephone during the pandemic, and has now established a low-cost program in New Jersey.• China — After government engagement and training by Columbia experts, IPT became what practitioners called a “rapidly growing practice,” with books, training programs, and internet-based delivery.• Malaysia — IPT has been applied with refugees, using the “transitions” framework to help people process displacement and profound loss.• Africa (Ethiopia, Kenya, Mozambique, Senegal, Zambia, Uganda) — Adaptations have been made for cultural context, including how disputes are communicated and resolved within different family and community structures.• Japan and Hong Kong — Initial resistance to psychotherapy has given way to growing acceptance and translated materials.• United States special populations — Chapters cover Alaska Natives, people who are incarcerated, sexual and gender minorities, pre-adolescents, adolescents, and older adults.Cultural AdaptationsDr. Weissman shares a vivid example from Uganda: women in marital disputes are often encouraged not to confront their husbands directly, but to work through an elder who mediates. The underlying IPT principle, that the dispute is driving the symptoms, remains intact; only the implementation changes.Resources Mentioned• International Society of Interpersonal Psychotherapy (ISIPT) — volunteer-run, affordable membership, biannual international conference (10th meeting held in the UK, March 2024)• Dr. Weissman's new book on IPT across international sites — published Open Access, freely available to practitioners and researchers worldwide• Oxford University Press — publisher of the standard IPT manualAbout the GuestDr. Myrna Weissman is the Diana Goldman Kemper Family Professor of Epidemiology and Psychiatry at Columbia University's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons and Mailman School of Public Health, and Chief of the Division of Translational Epidemiology at the New York State Psychiatric Institute. Alongside her late husband, Dr. Gerald Klerman, she co-developed Interpersonal Psychotherapy (IPT), now backed by over 140 clinical trials, translated into numerous languages, and recommended by the World Health Organization.
