How are you feeling? What questions come to your mind? Where does your mind go? Are you seeking safety? Would this have been an adrenaline rush as you raced to send the resignation response? What an "enhanced standard" regarding loyalty and trustworthiness was? What are these new "enhanced standards?" Are they beyond what my Constitutional oath requires? If I don't resign, how bright will the target on my back glow? My leadership has supported all my work, but would termination direction come from higher up the chain of command? What would you recommend if we talked over coffee? What questions would you ask? How would you use listening? How would you use silence? How is this scenario playing out in your mind and body? What is coming to the surface for you? How might that influence what you are about to say to me? What are the chances of my name popping on a list and getting fired? How about the chances of being part of an official Reduction in Force and early retirement? Would the administration make a better offer? What do I know about the pending job market? What did I expect the workplace to be like and did I want to be there as the contractions took place? Will the administration pay me through the end of September or will they renege? Can I sufficiently build the Curated Questions business to transition by 1 October? - Do I have the faith or confidence to step into this future as a sole practitioner and grow Curated Questions into all I envisioned? Was this purpose calling? What would I expect the job market to look like at the end of summer if I hadn't developed the income streams to maintain our lifestyle? What is your recommendation? Did it change from your initial recommendation? Where in your body are you feeling the uncertainty? Are you processing this scenario in parallel with your decision as if you had received the email? What additional questions should I have considered? Who else should I have consulted with? How would you have changed my risk rating? What is the correct length of the pregnant pause before making an important announcement? What processes would you use in my circumstance, and what would be different? What questions are at the top of your list to get to a decision? Who would be the members of your pantheon you would counsel with to gain clarity? Apart from the heady analysis, what other key practices would you include in your journey through a similar situation?…

Induction Part 2: Birth Story 1:06:40

לפני 3 years1:06:40

1:06:40

In this episode, Rosy breaks down the story of the birth of her daughter. This is for all the people out there who want to hear more about the process of birth than "It's a miracle" and "It's all worth it in the end!" We talk about how her induction worked, some gory details about childbirth, the part Rosy hated most (surprise, it came after the baby arrived), and how, yes, it was all worth it in the end. If you are expecting, or expecting to be expecting at some point, this may be a worthwhile listen.…

Pregnancy Part 3: Free Stuff for Pregnant People! Plus a Small Rant 54:11

לפני 3 years54:11

54:11

Surprise! You can get free stuff for being pregnant! In this episode, we mostly talk about free welcome boxes connected to registries, how to get a free pump, should you need or want one, and where to look for new but reduced price baby gear. Please forgive us for the rant about parents judging other parents for how they feed their babies, but Rosy's getting damn sick and tired of hearing people get told off for doing what's best for them and their families.…

Pregnancy Part 2: What to Expect in a Prenatal Appointment, Plus Weird Pregnancy Side Effects 1:12:41

לפני 3 years1:12:41

1:12:41

In this episode, we discuss the basics of a prenatal appointment: Why are they always doing urine and blood tests? What do they test for, and why? What can you expect from a midwife or OB? Rosy didn't know any of this before pregnancy, and no one really explained it, so here's a crash course! We conclude by talking about some weird side effects of pregnancy. Spoiler alert: The carpal tunnel is on the mend.…

Pregnancy Part 1: Inclusive Language and Weight Stigma in Pregnancy Care 1:20:38

לפני 3 years1:20:38

1:20:38

This is part one of our pregnancy series. It was going to be one episode, but it turns out Rosy has a lot to say. In this episode, we talk about the reasons to use inclusive language when talking about pregnancy, what that really sounds like, and why it's not taking anything away from us as cisgender women. Then, we go on to talk about Rosy's experience with a little bit of weight stigma in pregnancy care, zooming out to discuss the prevalency of weight bias in pregnancy care, and how that is harmful to larger people.…

The Racist Roots of Tipping in the US (But Why it's Very Necessary... for Now) 40:18

לפני 3 years40:18

40:18

Tipping, like many customs in the US, has roots in racism. Strange, but true. And today, tips do not function as extra money for a job well done, as many people believe. Rather, they are factored into the equation as part of a tipped worker's overall pay. It's a messed up system all the way, and needs changing. Until then though, please tip your servers.…

Paris Hilton and the Utah Troubled Teen Industry 54:40

לפני 3 years54:40

54:40

Paris Hilton is one of the many people who are coming forward with claims of abuse they experienced as children and teens at residential "schools" and "treatment programs" in Utah. These allegations of abuse are widespread and very upsetting, but they may be leading to reform in some areas. We can only hope that the information coming to light will result in the introduction of laws that support a kind and humane approach to helping minors who may need it. This episode is a discussion of Paris Hilton's personal story, as well as those of others who have come out in support of major reforms to these institutions. We also go over the possible reasons that Utah has created a vast "Troubled Teen Industry" that brings in millions of dollars every year. To learn more, please watch "This is Paris," on YouTube.…

Weed Gummies+Halloween Candy? Don't Believe the Fear-Mongering 52:50

In this episode we discuss the few instances where Halloween candy has been tampered with, and spoiler alert: There has never been a verified instance of anyone giving out cannabis edibles in the history of the United States! To explain why the fear-mongering around this possibility is silly, we also break down the logistics that would have to be involved for weed gummies to end up in your kids' Trick or Treat bags.…

Abortion History in the US, and What the Hell Just Happened in Texas?? 52:43

לפני 4 years52:43

52:43

This episode is about the history of abortion in the United States, and it may surprise you. It turns out abortion has only fairly recently become taboo in US history (even in religious communities). Given this historical background, we also discuss the impact of recent abortion legislation in Texas, and how the governor either doesn't understand basic biology, or is purposefully misleading those he has spoken to on the subject. It's a bummer of a topic, but we learned a lot, plus Hope gathered up some good news to round out the episode and make us feel a bit better.

Olympics, Part 2! Surya, Tonya, and Simone 1:04:16

לפני 4 years1:04:16

1:04:16

In this episode, we discuss how many Olympians, particularly women, are exploited and pitted against each other in ways that have nothing to do with their chosen sports. From Surya Bonaly's amazing and illegal backflip, to Tonya Harding's vilification, to Simone Biles' courage in the face of horrible insult and mistreatment, the women of the Olympics have been treated heinously for years, and we needed to talk about it.…
