Science and faith don't have to be mutually exclusive. And, when health is on the line, we want as many helpful interventions as possible. In today's episode, Dawn Carpenter - an expert in finance and investment banking – talks about how adopting two little girls from Russia shifted her outlook on faith. Each of her daughters, Emily and Abby, faced life-threatening medical situations. Fortunately, Dawn had the resources to get them the best medical care. But, that wasn't enough. She added faith to the treatment plan. This is not a story about religion but one about healing. Key Takeaways Keep a detailed journal. Writing things down, your observations, conversations, and gut instincts become a powerful source of truth, can help spot inconsistencies among doctors, and becomes a source of data when advocating. Learn to listen to your gut instincts. Your "gut feeling" is a gift. When something doesn't feel right, it often isn't. Model advocacy. Advocacy isn't something we're born knowing how to do. It's something we learn by example. Find the superpower. Disabilities and challenges don't define limits. They reveal hidden strengths. Our job is to help uncover them in others and in ourselves. Invest in faith. Faith, inner peace, and believing in something greater than ourselves can be just as powerful in helping us heal and thrive over the long term.

Some workplace behaviors are annoying but fixable. Others? Downright dangerous – and possibly unchangeable. In this Q&A episode, Dr. Renee Thompson tackles three real-world scenarios submitted by nurse leaders across the country: A charge nurse whose competence is overshadowed by recurring emotional outbursts. A team member who falsifies reports, raising red flags about character. A territorial nurse marking equipment as her own—and even throwing water at a coworker! How do you know whether someone’s behavior can be coached… or whether it’s time to performance-manage them out? Renee breaks down the difference between skill gaps and character flaws, and gives leaders the language to hold their teams accountable with professionalism and compassion. If you’re dealing with a disruptive team member, this episode will give you practical tools – and the permission – to protect your team and your culture.
