Pharmacy owner Tom DePietro, PharmD and Pennsylvania State Representative Jessica Behnam join the PBM Reform Podcast to discuss the major win for Pennsylvania tax payers and Pharmacy Care.  HB 1993 is the result of bipartisan efforts – led by state Rep. Jess Benham (D-36) – to ensure that Pennsylvanians are no longer being screwed and that access to local, independent pharmacies is maintained. Gov. Josh Shapiro joined Pennsylvania Insurance Commissioner Michael Humphreys, members of the General Assembly and local pharmacists at Thompson Pharmacy in Blair County for a ceremonial bill signing of bipartisan reforms in the 2024-25 budget. The reforms aim to increase oversight of pharmacy benefit managers (PBMs), the hidden “middlemen” of the pharmaceutical supply chain who largely go unchecked and unregulated as they negotiate the price of prescription drugs, passing the costs down to Pennsylvanians. Shapiro recently signed House Bill (HB) 1993 into law, providing stronger protections for commercially insured patients in the commonwealth and increasing regulatory oversight of PBMs.

So I recently had a Masterclass with today’s podcast guest covering the 5 Critical Daily Business Activities For Massive Impact And Growth In 2024 - and she is sharing some of these tips on today’s episode!  Laura Baum is a holistic business coach who helps health service-based providers, who work on their feet many hours a week, shift into new types of product offerings that don't require as much energy or time out of them, but still adds impact, value and money to their bottom lines. She also helps these providers step into new leadership roles to strengthen their industries. Laura is the creator of Everyday Holistic, a health coaching model that makes herbalism and holistic lifestyle tools very easy for health service-based practitioners' patients/ clients to implement without many hours-of-service fulfillment required by them. This creates a sustainable solution to build and grow a business without overexertion fulfilling services but still making a notable impact. Laura was a health practitioner who was only serving in a single session type model (50 + hours service fulfillment a week, multiple locations). If she could not fulfill services everything would stop and that felt terrible. She decided to learn how to make that not the case. Now her company, Laura's Botanicals has a multi-platform voice, a team of VA's and products that sell while she is away doing other things which equals less stress around service fulfillment. Laura is also the coordinator of the Richmond, Virginia Chapter of Advance Innovation Society and she offers monthly meet ups in the downtown/ arts district of Richmond, Virginia.

Meet Jenna McDonough, a Meditation and Mindfulness Teacher, Sound Healer, and Reiki Master on a mission to bring tranquility and well-being to all. Her journey into the world of wellness began during her first week of college when she discovered the transformative power of yoga. With a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies from Florida Atlantic University, focusing on Communications Journalism, Jenna initially pursued her passion for teaching by becoming an Elementary ESE teacher. Although she found fulfillment in this profession, she also recognized the toll it could take on one's well-being. After a few years in the education system, Jenna decided to fuse her love for teaching with her passion for yoga, becoming a yoga instructor and delving into the world of guided meditations. Her dedication extended not only to adults but also to children, sharing the gift of yoga with both. As life unfolded, Jenna transitioned away from teaching to focus on her family. However, she continued to nurture her personal meditation and mindfulness practices, leading her to a profound appreciation for sound and energy healing. Driven by her natural teaching inclination, Jenna committed herself to mastering the realms of meditation, mindfulness, sound, and energy healing. She understood firsthand the importance of these practices in combatting life's stresses. In the wake of the pandemic, Jenna observed the escalating discussions around anxiety and stress, which deeply affected both adults and children. Witnessing this, she felt compelled to contribute to alleviating these states of dysregulation and the physical effects of mental distress. Jenna's passion for teaching others became an undeniable calling. Her ultimate objective? To serve anyone seeking a more peaceful and present life, regardless of their busy schedules, geographical location, or financial constraints. To amplify this mission, Jenna founded Soul Candy Wellbeing, an innovative app offering courses and a monthly subscription-based audio membership, with a focus on trauma sensitivity and education. Jenna's philosophy is rooted in the belief that meditation and mindfulness are not one-size-fits-all practices. She emphasizes the importance of discovering what resonates with each individual and what brings them joy, to create a sustainable and personalized practice that suits their unique needs. Jenna's goal is to empower everyone to live their most peaceful and present life.   Website: www.soulcandywellbeing.com Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, YouTube: @soulcandywellbeing App Store and Google Play Store: Soul Candy Wellbeing Email: [email protected]
