In January, I asked people if they wanted to share any children's folklore as part of my February theme. As a branch of study, this largely refers to folklore created, shared, and maintained by children. Adults are not involved in its generation. So, contributors could share folklore they remembered from their childhood. Or they could share what they'd heard from children in their lives now. Most responses came from those sharing memories of childhood folklore, and broadly fell into three categories. As a result, this episode and the two that follow will use those categories. Urban Legends refers to the stories or urban legends that people shared. Games and Practices refers to things that people did. Monsters and Beliefs refer to (surprise, surprise) things people believed! In this episode, we'll explore some of the beliefs people heard and spread in their childhood, including supernatural beings like witches, love divination, and superstitions!

Episode 213: HIV PrEP Review H. Nicole Magaña, medical student, reviews the history of PrEP and outlines the currently FDA-approved medications used for HIV prevention. Dr. Arreaza provides additional perspective on long-acting injectable options, including how quickly they begin to protect patients after initiation.   Written by Nicole Magana, MSIV, American University of the Caribbean. Comments and edits by Hector Arreaza, MD.

Previous episodes related to HIV:  -Episode 67, HIV history (September 2021) -Episode 68, HIV transmissibility (October 2021) -Episode 70 (October 2021), HIV prevention (including HIV Prep with oral medications) -Episode 98 (June 2022), we introduced Apretude, the first injectable for HIV PrEP. Apretude was approved in December 2021.  What is Pre-Exposure prophylaxis (PrEP)? Pre-exposure prophylaxis, or PrEP, is the use of antiretroviral medications taken by individuals who are HIV-negative to prevent HIV acquisition. There are 30,000 new HIV infections annually in the US.  How effective is it? When taken as prescribed, PrEP is highly effective at reducing the risk of HIV transmission through sexual exposure and injection drug use. Patients who are adherent to PrEP can lower their risk of contracting HIV by 99%. The effectiveness of oral PrEP is highly adherence dependent. In trials with 70% adherence, the relative risk of HIV acquisition was 0.27, compared to 0.51 with 40-70% adherence and no significant benefit with adherence ≤40%. How does PrEP work? PrEP works by maintaining therapeutic drug levels in the bloodstream and in target tissues. If HIV exposure occurs, viral replication is inhibited, preventing the establishment of infection. Brief History of PrEP. The concept of PrEP originated from early animal studies demonstrating that antiretroviral medications could prevent retroviral transmission when administered before exposure. In 2010, the iPrEx trial showed that daily oral tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (known as Truvada) with emtricitabine significantly reduced HIV acquisition among men who have sex with men and transgender women. This was the first large clinical trial to demonstrate the effectiveness of PrEP. In 2012, the FDA approved oral Truvada, which is TDF/FTC (tenofovir disoproxil and emtricitabine) for HIV prevention. Since then, additional studies have expanded indications and introduced new formulations, including long-acting injectable options. Who Should Be Offered PrEP? PrEP should be considered for any HIV-negative individual at increased risk of HIV acquisition, including Men who have sex with men, transgender individuals, heterosexual men and women with an HIV-positive partner, individuals with recent bacterial sexually transmitted infections, people who inject drugs, individuals engaging in condomless sex with partners of unknown HIV status. Remember that PrEP should be offered in a nonjudgmental, patient-centered manner, make it a safe space to talk openly about prevention of HIV.  Available HIV PrEP Options. Daily Oral PrEP: There are 2 formulations of Tenofovir. There is Tenofovir disoproxil fumarate (TDF)/ Truvada and Tenofovir alafenamide (TAF)/ Descovy. Each is available in a tablet combined with Emtricitabine a nucleoside reverse transcriptase inhibitor. Truvada: It is approved for all populations at risk through sexual exposure or injection drug use. Something to look out for before starting this medication is for pre-existing CKD. Do not give to patients who have an estimated glomerular filtration rate of less than 60 mL/min. (6) Descovy: This option is approved for men who have sex with men and transgender women but is not approved for individuals at risk through receptive vaginal sex. It has less impact on renal function and bone mineral density compared to Truvada. It can be used in moderately reduced kidney function (GFR between 30-60 mL/min). Truvada and Descovy are taken orally once a day.  After patients start taking these medications, when are they considered to be protected?  Nicole: With daily oral PrEP, guidelines differ with WHO and International Aids Society-USA stating it takes about 7 days, while CDC states 21 days to allow for adequate concentration in tissues (1). Adherence is critical for efficacy. Injectable HIV PrEP. In 2021, the FDA approved the first Injectable PrEP option Long-acting cabotegravir (CAB-LA)- known on the market as Apretude. Cabotegravir is an integrase strand transfer inhibitor administered as an intramuscular injection.Dosing consists of an initial injection, a second injection one month later, and then maintenance injections every two months (1). Another option is Lenacapavir (Yeztugo). The Yeztugo as a pre-exposure prophylaxis (PrEP) for HIV in Oct 2024. Yeztugo is the first and only FDA-approved HIV prevention treatment that requires just two injections per year, offering a long-acting option for people who weigh at least 35kg. It is given as 2 injections every 6 months. First dose is given with 2 tablets on Day 1 and Day 2, then every 6 months 2 injections on the same day. Clinical trials, including HPTN 083 and HPTN 084, demonstrated that injectable cabotegravir is superior to daily oral PrEP in preventing HIV infection. This advantage is largely due to improved adherence rather than differences in intrinsic drug potency. There have been no head-to-head comparisons between Yeztugo and Apretude, but they are both very effective. Apretude starts protecting 7 days after the first dose, and Yeztugo starts protecting 2 hours after Day 2 (if patient takes the oral loading dose) or 3-4 weeks if no oral load is taken. Injectable PrEP is particularly beneficial for patients who struggle with daily pill adherence, have trouble swallowing pills, prefer a discreet option, have difficulty storing their medication or have renal or bone disease that limits the use of tenofovir-based regimens like Truvada and Descovy (6). In one unpublished report by Medline, patients who received Apretude had an increase in bone mineral density compared to those who received Truvada (1). Tests prior to starting PrEP. Before initiating PrEP, patients must be confirmed to be HIV-negative. Baseline evaluation includes HIV testing with a fourth-generation antigen/antibody assay, HIV RNA testing if acute infection is suspected, renal function testing for oral PrEP, Hepatitis B screening, sexually transmitted infection screening, and pregnancy testing when appropriate. PrEP should not be started in individuals with known or suspected acute HIV infection. Monitoring for patients on HIV PrEP. Monitoring typically includes HIV testing every 2 to 3 months, STI screening every 3 to 6 months, renal function monitoring for those on oral PrEP (tenofovir- based), ongoing adherence and risk-reduction counseling. And for injectable PrEP, adherence to the injection schedule is essential, as delayed dosing may increase the risk of resistance if HIV infection occurs. HIV PrEP is not a prevention for other STIs. Screening for STIs and counseling about prevention is essential. Breakthrough HIV infections on PrEP are rare and most often associated with poor adherence or delayed diagnosis. Truvada is more studied in all populations and is considered safe during pregnancy and breastfeeding. There is less data regarding the injectable option in patients who are pregnant, may become pregnant, or whose primary risk factor is injection drug use (1). Injectable PrEP provides an important alternative for patients with chronic kidney disease and bone disease (1). Key Takeaway Pre-exposure prophylaxis is a safe, effective, and evidence-based strategy for HIV prevention. With both daily oral and long-acting injectable options available, PrEP can be individualized to meet patient needs. Normalizing PrEP discussions in clinical practice is essential to reducing new HIV infections and advancing public health goals.  Even without trying, every night you go to bed a little wiser. Thanks for listening to Rio Bravo qWeek Podcast.

Most parents are told the same thing: “They'll grow out of it.” Snoring. Mouth breathing. Grinding. ADHD symptoms. Crooked teeth. But what if they don't? In this powerful conversation, Ellie sits down with airway-focused dentist Dr. Jamie St. Marie to unpack the truth behind pediatric airway development — and why what looks cosmetic on the outside may be deeply functional underneath. You'll learn: • Why crooked teeth are often a structural message • The difference between cosmetic orthodontics and functional expansion • How mouth breathing shapes the face, brain, and nervous system • Why “wait and see” can become adult fatigue, anxiety, and sleep apnea • The real difference between Phase One and Phase Two orthodontics • What options exist for adults who were missed as kids This episode is not about perfect smiles. It's about foundation. Because children don't grow out of airway issues. They grow into adults who are tired, wired, inflamed, and grinding their teeth at night. If you're a parent — or an adult who's been told your symptoms are “normal” — this episode may change everything.

In this episode, I encourage clarity, as our news is flooded with information about released files. I address concerns about the normalization of abuse through language, emphasizing the importance of correct terminology to protect victims and prevent further harm. I also discuss the role our biases play and offer tools for awareness and advocacy.Chapters00:00 Language & The Blurring of Lines in Abuse02:50 Desensitization & Normalization 04:18 Understanding Consent and Age of Consent (Legal Perspective)11:21 The Role of Bias in Language15:20 Call to Clarity and ResponsibilityWords matter. The language we hear seeps into our unconscious and has the ability to make what is horrific palatable. It has the ability to take something as horrible as child sexual abuse and human trafficking and gradually start to make it seem almost normal.Listen carefully and you will hear this shift in the public discourse around the release of millions of documents about many of our world's wealthiest and most powerful people abusing children and adults. You will hear a blurring of the lines - of what it means to be a child and what it means to be abused, assaulted, and trafficked. You will also hear a clouding of the distinction of who is responsible when abuse occurs.I'm concerned that the coverage — the amount and the language used (even by the well-intended) — is normalizing what we can't normalize. This blurring of lines only emboldens perpetrators who are out there right now. It puts more children and adults at risk. It prevents more victims from reporting abuse and it further harms anyone who has been abused.This episode is my attempt to counter that normalization, encourage clarity, and provide tools to help you recognize the types of words and phrases that blur important lines.EliteWe obviously live in a society that idealizes those with money, power, and celebrity. We project our innate gifts and greatness onto a few. We turn over our inner authority. We even project our inner wisdom onto bedazzling marketers posing as wellness and spiritual gurus.Those with the most depraved behaviors in our culture have our fascination, while humble, service-driven leaders are largely ignored. Should we be surprised that a group of sociopathic “elites” are leading many of our institutions?Our collective idol worship has helped elevate, support, and protect those who've harmed not only their victims, but all of us who rely on their institutions.Will these recent discoveries help us change course? How our society handles this open abscess will either lead to greater clarity and healing - or it will manage to infect us further.DesensitizationInevitably, this story, with all of its far-reaching implications, will be in the news for a very long time. The more we hear something, the less shocking it becomes.The amount of media content on this topic (even if in the direction of needed justice) is already leading to a collective desensitization. We are losing sight of the severe harm caused to the victims and survivors. (I include “victims,” because not everyone survived.)NormalizationA thoughtful popular podcaster who identifies as someone who wants justice for the survivors and accountability for the perpetrators said: “He may have had a sexual relationship with an underaged woman.” This podcaster is just one of many using this type of language. Even Steven Inskeep, a seasoned journalist with NPR, described the victims in the sex-trafficking case as “underage women.” After a number of listeners spoke out, NPR did an autopsy of sorts to understand how (in the line of editors and checks), this ended up being read on air. NPR made a public apology, explained how this ended up being read on air and what they were doing to prevent it from happening again.Many journalists recognize a need to understand and use appropriate language. But, most in independent media, who are actually investigating and discussing the files, aren't trained journalists and many are unintentionally contributing to the normalization of abuse.To say, “He may have had a sexual relationship with an underaged woman” blurs more than one lineFirst, adults and children do not have sexual relationships. Adults sexually abuse children. It is increasingly important to have clarity on this singular point and to have words that reflect this clarity.Saying “he had a sexual relationship with…,” implies that the child was able to consent.● Children are unable to consent as indicated by the law.○ Consent = voluntarily, actively, and knowingly agree to or grant permission for a specific act, proposed by another. There is more to the legal definition, which I'll get to for adults, but here, that doesn't matter, because, again, children are unable to consent.○ There is a significant power imbalance between children and adults○ When a child is abused, they are being harmed in that moment and will have enduring impacts from the abuse (emotional, psychological and physical).Along these lines “child prostitute,” and “child porn”, suggest consent. Saying instead that a perpetrator sexually abused, exploited and trafficked a child and saying sexual abuse materials recognizes that children are unable to consent.Second, “underage woman” is an oxymoronI can only imagine this term is being used to describe a physically mature teen. It's as if an adult is saying, “She looks like a woman to me.” It doesn't matter how physically mature a child looks, they are still a child. A child can not consent regardless of their physical appearance.But what about the phrase, “underage girl”?An “underage” girl is a girlThere is no reason to add the word “underage,” here. Children are children. If underage is being added, it is blurring that fact. Child, girl, boy, or minor are the terms to use.If we hear “underage woman,” or “underage girl,” over and over again, before we know it, we may be saying it without even thinking.What could the podcaster have said instead?“He may have sexually abused (or sexually assaulted) a child,”Age of ConsentIf children can't consent, you might be wondering about situations, such as a sexual relationship between a 17-year-old girl and an 18 year old teenage boy.Age of Consent = the age at which anyone can consent to anyone older.Depending on the state (here in the United States), the legal age of consent is anywhere from 16-18. But, even for states in which the age of consent is 16 or 17, there are laws that specify how much older the “older” person can be to whom the 16 or 17-year-old is consenting.The information coming out of the files is about perpetrators who were clearly well beyond 18 and early adulthood. In fact, they were old enough to have achieved prominence in their respective fields.What about the women who were of “the age of consent”? Here's where I'll share with you the complete legal definition of consent. (Since children are unable to consent, I didn't share the qualifiers yet).Consent means to voluntarily, willfully, and knowingly agree to, approve, or yield to a proposition or action proposed by another. Consent is given by a person with legal capacity without coercion, fraud, or duress. It requires active permission rather than passive submission or absence of resistance.So when Megan Kelly, an attorney/media personality, describes many of the victims as “barely legal” (as opposed to teenagers who were unable to consent to much older adults or young women who were coerced), the law would say, this is not legal and is abuse - a crime.From Normalizing to CelebrationAnother podcaster/journalist/academic who is seemingly on the side of the victims and survivors completed what seemed to be an appropriate and serious podcast by inviting his audience to share in the comments if they found anything “spicey” in the files. He smiled as he said this.Spicey = exciting or entertaining, especially through being sexually suggestive or involving conflict.“Spicey,” goes well beyond normalization to tantalizing. I don't think this is something he intended to communicate and I don't think he is unusual in this regard. You could say his listeners got a glimpse in the window - of feelings as he read the files.Our Words Are a Window Into Our Biases…and there are some windows, we may not want people looking in. We all have biases. It is simply part of human nature, part of the associations our neuronal connections have made. Our biases are influenced by our families, childhood experiences, our culture and what media content we consume. Our biases in this case, are also influenced by whether we have children or not and their ages and gender. I had to wonder, for example, if an adult who has a daughter would be as likely to say, “underage woman or underage girl,” than an adult who doesn't.Those who deny they have biases are more susceptible to their problematic impacts. We can all be more aware of how our own biases show up. The language we use is just one of the ways. Collectively, we can ask ourself, how do we consciously or unconsciously think about● children? Are they separate beings with their own potential and their own lives who are in their most critical developmental stage or are they less than adults and not worthy of the same respect and care? (This can also be a window into how worthy we were made to feel as children)● young women? Do we think of them differently than young men? Are we more okay with blurring the line between girls and women than between boys and men? How often would someone say “underage man,” or “underage boy” when it comes to sexual assault?● consent? Do we say she was “involved with” or use words like “prostitute” or “escort” when all evidence points to the person being trafficked?● abuse? Do we use language to describe the victim , such as “she was in a relationship with,” or do we use language to describe the actions of the abuser, he “assaulted”, “raped,” “coerced,” “exploited,” or “trafficked” her or him?● human trafficking? Do we even think about it? Do we even realize that, after drug trafficking, human trafficking is the second-largest criminal enterprise in the world? But for my medical license requiring me to stay informed about trafficking and how to recognize it, I may not be aware.A Call to Clarity & Responsibility While language can further diminish our humanity and recognition of human suffering, it also has the ability to elevate compassion and bring clarity to what matters most in a given situation, in this case the sanctity of childhood, the suffering of others and finding ways to prevent it.Though I rarely comment much on social media sites, I have felt a need, in this case, to do my small part to help bring clarity. When I notice language that normalizes abuse, I kindly point it out and offer an alternative, hoping maybe the person will even pay it forward.We all have the opportunity to notice when people unintentionally use language that blurs the line between children and adults, or suggests that victims are responsible. We don't have to let our silence suggest agreement. We don't have to go along or let it stand. We can all do our part to counter the eroding psychological, emotional and moral guardrails that prevent abuse from happening.We can also thank those who haven't lost sight of what is at stake. I noticed one young podcaster/attorney used words that convey the gravity and horrific nature of what he had been reading in the files. He appeared depleted and even sick, because he was. He hadn't lost sight of what the files are about - the systematic abuse of children and women by the very people our society chose to elevate to power. Nor had he lost sight of his responsibility to the survivors, to his listeners, to our humanity and to the truth.Wishing all of us the ability to maintain clarity in these challenging times.CourtneyAs always, I welcome your insights and observations.

On Super Bowl Sunday during the Winter Olympics, Alyssa and Nadia discuss Lindsey Vonn competing in Olympic downhill days after tearing her ACL—and the crash that got her airlifted off the mountain again. They unpack injury risk, medical autonomy, and what elite athletes model for everyone watching.Nadia explains that Vonn tore her ACL last week, met with her medical team, and chose to race anyway. This morning she fell and was airlifted with a leg fracture. Nadia sees both sides: racing with a torn ACL is risky, but the crash looked like it came from clipping a gate—not purely the knee.Alyssa breaks down the ACL as the “packaging tape” that stabilizes the knee. Some athletes can compensate with strong surrounding muscles, but injury can disrupt proprioception and make the brain “shut off” muscle connection. The ACL might've limited her ability to load the left leg for a key right turn—though ice and countless variables could've been factors too.Nadia points to the pressure around Vonn: six-year retirement, huge comeback expectations, and tests suggesting she could do it. With that status, the medical team may have felt pushed to justify a “yes.” As Nadia puts it, no one could've stopped her—she was going to race.Alyssa connects this to her work with young gymnasts in competition season. Her role is to support goals while clearly assessing and communicating risk, not to override the athlete's choice. If they still want to compete after understanding the risks, she helps them do it as safely as possible.They shift to what athletes model for others. Nadia references Kerri Strug and how often gymnasts compete injured—brave, but sometimes concerning. Alyssa draws the key difference: Strug was a child under coach pressure, while Vonn is an adult making her own call.They close with Nadia's “personal Olympics”: her 12th year in gymnastics at 21. This season is about less stress, more fun, and enjoying leadership on e-board. With new teammates—including her sister—she's reliving milestones through fresh eyes.Happy Galentine's to all the listeners.TakeawaysThe ACL stabilizes the knee; tearing it can change control and confidence under high speed/load.Injury can disrupt proprioception and motor control, sometimes making movement less reliable.Elite athletes face intense external pressure to compete, which can bias decision-making around risk.Clinicians/medical teams must balance protecting health with supporting an athlete's goals.Adults have the right to make their own medical choices and accept calculated risk (“your body, your choice”).The Kerri Strug comparison isn't equal—she was a child under pressure; Vonn is an autonomous adult.In extreme sports, the biggest danger isn't reinjury—it's catastrophic, life-threatening trauma.Chapters0:10–0:48 – Introduction: Super Bowl Sunday and the Winter Olympics0:48–1:23 – Lindsey Vonn's Morning Injury1:23–2:37 – Last Week's ACL Tear and Decision to Compete2:37–4:09 – What Is an ACL?4:09–7:19 – Anatomy Lesson: Ligaments, Muscles, and Proprioception7:19–8:27 – How ACL Tears Happen and the Body's Response8:27–10:13 – Could She Have Avoided the Second Injury10:13–12:03 – The Mechanics of Her Fall: Did the ACL Play a Role?12:03–13:47 – The Pressure to Compete: Olympics and Comeback Stories13:47–15:19 – Working with Young Athletes: The Clinical Parallel15:19–16:39 – The Biggest Fear: Life-Threatening Injury16:39–18:10 – What Athletes Model: The Kerri Strug Comparison18:10–19:25 – Your Body, your Choice: Medical Autonomy19:25–20:10 – Hoping for Vonn's Recovery20:10–21:09 – Nadia's "Personal Olympics": Gymnastics Season Starts21:09–22:42 – What Makes It Fun: Team, Leadership, and Rewriting the Story22:42–23:49 – Galentine's Plans and Season Well-Wishes

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control & Prevention reports that preventing adverse childhood experiences (ACEs) like abuse, neglect, household dysfunction could reduce the number of adults with depression by as much as 44%. ACEs are critical to identify and understand because they are highly common that cause lasting toxic stress that fundamentally changes brain development and health outcomes across a lifespan. Understanding them is crucial for preventing chronic diseases, mental health disorders, and, through early intervention, breaking cycles of intergenerational trauma. On today's show, we're discussing ACEs with Clare Anderson, MSW, Senior Policy Fellow Emeritus at Chapin Hall, a policy research institution in Chicago that focuses on child welfare and family well-being. Clare is a national expert on child welfare policy and practice and national thought leader on economic and concrete supports. She was among the chief architects of the effort to address trauma, ACEs, and toxic stress in children known to the child welfare system. Also joining us for the conversation is Michelle Clausen, PhD, a nurse midwife, researcher, and fellow with the Primary Care Research Training Program and post-doctoral scholar at the GW School of Medicine & Health Sciences. Her research focus is on developing interventions that incorporate trauma-informed strategies and spirituality to improve health outcomes. ◘ Related Links: CDC's About Adverse Childhood Experiences page, https://www.cdc.gov/aces/about/index.html; Adverse California Surgeon General's Clinical Advisory Committee' Childhood Experience Questionnaire for Adults, https://bit.ly/4aUJewT; California Department of Health Care Services' ACEs Aware information website, https://www.acesaware.org/; Navigating Economic Shocks: Public Policy Can Support or Stress Families with Clare Anderson, https://bit.ly/3ZH3dsA; Chapin white papers about ACEs, https://bit.ly/4kCQsc2 ◘ Transcript bit.ly/3JoA2mz ◘ This podcast features the song “Follow Your Dreams” (freemusicarchive.org/music/Scott_Ho…ur_Dreams_1918) by Scott Holmes, available under a Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial (01https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/) license. ◘ Disclaimer: The content and information shared in GW Integrative Medicine is for educational purposes only and should not be taken as medical advice.

Send a textWhat if the fastest way to change your child's behavior is to change how you show up? We sit down with parent coach and author Sue Donnellan to unpack why yelling fails, how Montessori principles build independence, and what it takes to lead the culture of your home with clarity and calm. From the chaos of going from one child to triplets to discovering behavior psychology, Sue shares the exact reframes and systems that helped her move from reactivity to results.We explore the core shift of treating kids as “adults in training,” which replaces control with collaboration and dignity. Sue walks us through “parenting in advance,” a repeatable approach to solving recurring flashpoints—mornings, chores, screens—during low-emotion moments with short training conversations. You'll hear how to ask questions to learn instead of to lecture, how to listen to receive rather than to reply, and why curiosity is the highest-leverage tool you have for conflict resolution and trust.We also dig into expectation management, neutrality, and the art of intentional detachment as kids approach pre-teen years. Think of yourself as the bow and your child as the arrow: craft well, aim with purpose, then allow space for growth within boundaries. Along the way, we talk mantras, check-ins, and simple self-audits that keep you on track when life is loud. The payoff is a home where independence grows, honesty is safe, and your voice is heard without raising it.If you're ready to swap shouting for structure and power struggles for partnership, press play. Then share your biggest daily sticking point—we'll help you reframe it on a future episode.

In this episode of the Ger Graus Gets Gritty series, Professor Dr. Ger Graus OBE tackles what he calls "the most underestimated aspect of a child's learning and growing up"—the role adults play as models in young people's lives. Through personal stories, including his daughter's early obsession with "Mrs. Poole" her nursery teacher, and insights from his global work with Kidzania, Ger reveals how children unconsciously absorb behaviours, values, and dreams from the adults around them, often in ways we never notice.This conversation goes beyond the surface of role modeling to question the fundamental structures of modern education. Ger and host Mark Taylor examine why schools still operate on an industrial-era framework—early start times that conflict with adolescent sleep patterns, restricted bathroom access, rushed lunch periods causing "collective indigestion"—and explore what education could look like if we redesigned it around how children actually learn and thrive rather than outdated factory models."If we want a world that is respectful and that is kind and considerate and that is inquisitive and curious, then we need to begin to lead by example. That is the most important part of our job description when it comes to our young people."Key Takeaways1. Adults are role models whether they realize it or not. Children absorb everything from the adults around them—teachers, parents, neighbours, and community members. This "copied behavior" is one of the most underestimated aspects of learning, and adults must become conscious of the example they set in values, kindness, curiosity, and respect.2. Lead by example, not just instruction. Children learn more from what we do than what we say. Schools that demonstrate values through everyday behaviour—greeting people warmly, showing kindness, opening doors—create cultures where children naturally adopt these behaviors, regardless of socioeconomic background.3. The industrial model of education is outdated and failing students. Current school structures—rigid schedules, minimal breaks, locked toilets, rushed lunches—are remnants of the Industrial Revolution designed to prepare workers for factories. This model no longer serves students' needs or prepares them for modern life.4. Schools should be community-owned "more than schools" Educational institutions need to transform into community hubs that serve broader purposes, with flexible hours (perhaps 8am-6pm), adequate meal times, and involvement from employers and community members. Schools should measure and value different outcomes beyond traditional academics.5. Careers education has failed generations and continues to fail. Adults consistently report that their careers education was either laughable or non-existent. Despite this universal acknowledgment, little has changed. Meaningful change requires creating experiential learning environments where young people can explore possibilities and develop authentic aspirations.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction to the Series01:18 - The Role We Play in Children's Lives13:20 - The Role of Teachers as Role Models21:39 - The Importance of Values in Education33:06 - The Role of Role Models in Education42:21 - The Impact of Role Models in Education55:40 - The Influence of Role...

Estate planning is one of those things most people know they should do, but it often feels overwhelming, expensive, or easy to put off. Between our busy lives and discomfort around death, even responsible adults delay it far longer than they want to admit. In this episode, we break estate planning down into what it really is, a practical way to reduce stress for the people you love and make sure your wishes are clear. We talk about when estate planning actually starts, the small steps that matter most, and how to get started without feeling overwhelmed.

Are you ready to STOP Guessing and START working from Within? You train consistently. You walk, lift weights, and maybe even do cardio or Zone 2. You eat "clean," focus on protein, avoid junk—and yet fat loss has stalled, muscle feels harder to build, and your body looks softer than it should. If that's you, this episode is for you. In this deep-dive rabbit hole episode, Coach Debbie Potts unpacks why fat loss stalls in fit, disciplined, high-performing adults—especially in midlife—despite doing all the "right" things with exercise and nutrition. Here's the truth most people never hear: Fat loss resistance isn't a motivation problem. It's not a willpower issue. And it's rarely a simple calorie problem. It's a root-cause, metabolic, and nervous system issue. In this episode, you'll learn: Why fat loss stalls when your body shifts into metabolic protection How chronic stress, under-fueling, and over-training quietly suppress fat oxidation Why "normal" labs don't tell the full story How mitochondrial dysfunction blocks fat loss and muscle rebuilding Why hormonal issues are often downstream effects—not the starting point How poor digestion, bile flow, and incomplete elimination sabotage fat loss Why more exercise and cleaner eating often make things worse What Resting and Active Metabolic Testing (PNOĒ) reveal that standard tests miss Coach Debbie explains how loss of FLOW—from nervous system dysregulation, depleted mitochondria, poor recovery, and blocked waste removal—causes the body to clamp down, conserve energy, and resist change. You'll also learn why the solution isn't pushing harder, cutting more calories, or adding another protocol—but restoring the right order of operations: ✔️ Safety before stress ✔️ Energy before effort ✔️ Structure before clearance When these systems are supported, the body stops fighting you—and results return. If you're tired of guessing, stuck in trial-and-error, and ready to understand why your body is responding the way it is, this episode will change how you look at fat loss forever. Ready to Stop Guessing and Start Working From Within? If this episode resonated and you're ready to uncover what's really holding your body back, we invite you to schedule a complimentary 15-minute Discovery Call with the FROM WITHIN team.

In January, I asked people if they wanted to share any children's folklore as part of my February theme. As a branch of study, this largely refers to folklore created, shared, and maintained by children. Adults are not involved in its generation. So, contributors could share folklore they remembered from their childhood. Or they could share what they'd heard from children in their lives now. Most responses came from those sharing memories of childhood folklore, and broadly fell into three categories. As a result, this episode and the two that follow will use those categories. Urban Legends refers to the stories or urban legends that people shared. Games and Practices refers to things that people did. Monsters and Beliefs refer to (surprise, surprise) things people believed! In this episode, we'll explore some of the urban legends people heard and spread in their childhood. We'll also examine how they dovetail with wider patterns of such legends, where applicable!

February is often associated with Valentine's Day—a time when many people reflect on partnerships, shared goals, and planning for the future together. In this classic Research Insights episode, the conversation revisits how those themes show up in real life through retirement planning and decision-making among early middle-aged adults. The episode explores what research reveals about balancing individual priorities with shared household goals, how couples and families navigate joint financial choices, and why decisions made during these years can have a lasting impact on long-term financial security and well-being. Tune in to hear key takeaways from the research—and consider how these insights can inform better planning and conversations at home.

Computech Middle School and Students in Sanger Unified School District are holding oncampus forums Friday to voice their concerns about immigration enforcement, choosing an alternative to the walkouts seen recently at other Central Valley schools. Clovis police announced Wednesday evening it will pursue misdemeanor charges against adults who attended Tuesday’s student walkout. The police department and Clovis Unified School District said in a joint statement they observed multiple adults “actively encouraging, organizing, and facilitating students leaving school without authorization.” Please Like, Comment and Follow 'Philip Teresi on KMJ' on all platforms: --- Philip Teresi on KMJ is available on the KMJNOW app, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube or wherever else you listen to podcasts. -- Philip Teresi on KMJ Weekdays 2-6 PM Pacific on News/Talk 580 AM & 105.9 FM KMJ | Website | Facebook | Instagram | X | Podcast | Amazon | - Everything KMJ KMJNOW App | Podcasts | Facebook | X | Instagram See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It's time for another episode of MindGap podcast! This week, Doug is joined by a very special guest host - his brother, Dave! The dorks start by talking about awkward job interviews and personal blunders. Next, they explore the lessons that pop culture taught them that they had to unlearn as adults, such as misconceptions about hard work, the unrealistic portrayals of love in movies, and the idea of the lone genius or chosen one.    Things are wrapped up with a game made just for Dave, who is a huge fan of Warhammer 40k. Doug plays Fact or Fiction: Warhammer 40k edition to test Dave's knowledge of the lore.   Check out our YouTube channel!

Imagine the world as a bright, noisy classroom, God at the front as a wise teacher, and all of us as kindergartners still learning how to listen, share, and keep our hands to ourselves. That simple picture becomes a key for unlocking Parshas Mishpatim, turning dense legal chapters into a living guide for how to build trust, repair harm, and honor the people right beside us.We trace the Torah's powerful shift from duties to God to duties to each other and unpack why the opening word—“Ve'eleh,” and these—matters so much. It's the bridge that puts interpersonal law on the same Sinai pedestal as Shabbat and prayer. Through the classroom lens, rules about damages, lending, theft, negligence, and employer‑employee obligations stop feeling abstract. They become the laminated poster on the wall: use kind words, return what you take, arrive on time, protect the small and the new kid, listen when a friend speaks. Rewards and consequences are not bribes and threats; they are the structure that keeps learning possible.Then we go deeper. Some rules fit everyone, but some care is personal. Just as a parent privately tells the teacher about allergies and sensitivities, the Torah reveals what people can't tolerate—exploitation, delay, gossip, humiliation—and what helps them thrive—fairness, patience, timely repayment, quiet dignity. We explore how studying your friend's needs turns halacha into relational wisdom. Advanced sugyas in Bava Kamma and Bava Metzia come alive as tools to restore safety after harm and to keep the classroom calm enough for souls to grow.By the end, holiness looks less like grand gestures and more like everyday restraint: easing envy's sting, slowing down on the road, helping lift a burden on the shoulder of I‑95, noticing who stands alone. Keep the classroom image in your mind and Mishpatim starts to sing—justice with a human touch, kindness with a spine, and law as the architecture of peace. If this reframing moved you or clarified a mitzvah you've struggled with, subscribe, share the episode with a friend, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Join Erik and Tage this week as they are joined by Haley and Kim as they discuss why the Disney Parks hit adults so emotionally hard, where they would have a Disney wedding or vow renewal, the Disney food, drinks, or restaurants that live rent free in their minds, and the Disney documentaries they would like to see a la Disneyland Handcrafted. Support the podcast by going to https://www.thehubcrawl.com/support. Question 1: Why do you think Disney parks hit adults so emotionally hard compared to any other theme park experience? Question 2: If you could get married or renew your vows anywhere in a Disney park or resort, where would you do so and why? (Help me figure out where I'm renewing my vows in 2028.) Question 3: What Disney food, drink or restaurant, past or present, lives in your head rent free, that you recommend to people or talk about more than you care to admit. Describe the food or restaurant and why you love it. Question 4: Disneyland Handcrafted was recently released showing the year leading up to Disneyland's opening in 1955. What other documentary would you like to see about the Disney company? Bonus Question: If you had to have a party themed to something Disney (could be parks, could be acquired IP, could be anything), what would your theme and occasion be? Bonus points for any details you can come up with.

If you feel like you're working out seven days a week just to get smaller but you still don't feel confident, energized, or powerful in your own skin...this episode is for you.The truth is, society has conditioned us to believe that "success" means shrinking. We're told that if we aren't exhausted after every workout, it doesn't count. But real, lasting transformation happens when you stop trying to disappear and start focusing on what you can build.In this episode of the Redefining Strength Podcast, I sit down with Tara LaFerrara. Tara is a premier fitness coach, creator of the Broads app, and an expert at helping women move away from the "all-or-nothing" mindset to build real strength and confidence.Together, we break down:The "Shrinking" Trap: Why success isn't measured by a number on the scale and how to shift your focus to taking up space.The HIIT Girly Phase: Why the "more is better" approach leads to burnout and how to transition to intentional lifting.Identity Shift: Why building a habit takes 60 days, but building an identity takes years and why most people stop too soon.The Challenge Gap: Why we stop challenging ourselves as we get older and how to regain the courage to be a beginner again.Filtering Information Overload: How to put blinders on when social media tells you there is only "one way" to train.The All-or-Nothing Solution: Practical strategies to win your day even when you can't get all ten things on your to-do list done.Under-Recovering vs. Overtraining: Why rest and deload weeks are actually the fast track to breaking through plateaus.If you've ever thought:“It only counts if I'm dripping in sweat and exhausted.”“I want to be strong, but I'm afraid of taking up too much space.”“I'm an all-or-nothing person; if I miss one workout, the whole week is ruined.”“I've built the habits, but I still don't feel like I've changed who I am.”This episode is for you.Chapters:00:00 – Stop Trying to Shrink!01:50 – Leaving the "HIIT Girly" Mindset Behind 14:27 – Why We Struggle to Be Beginners as Adults 19:22 – Habit vs. Identity: The Real Timeline for Change 25:21 – Filtering the "Information Overload" of Social Media 31:52 – How to Finally Break the All-or-Nothing Cycle 37:23 – Why Recovery & Deloading Are Non-Negotiable

This episode describes what complex Post Traumatic Stress disorder (cPTSD) is, how it's diagnosed, and how it's different to similar disorders like PTSD and borderline personality disorder. This episode was inspired by the angry comments on Dr. Kibby's latest reel on spotting emotion dysregulation in borderline personality disorder. When someone has a history of childhood trauma and they struggle with intense emotions, self-esteem issues, and relationship problems- what disorder do they have? In this episode, Dr. Kibby delves into the criteria for complex PTSD, which is still not an official disorder in the DSM-V. Yet, so many people struggle with symptoms from long, painful histories of trauma that has shaped their entire lives and personalities.Dr. Kibby also discusses the nuanced differences between Complex PTSD and Borderline Personality Disorder, revealing how trauma shapes self-esteem, relationships, and emotional regulation in surprising ways. If you've ever wondered why these disorders often overlap—and how understanding their distinctions can transform healing—you'll want to hear this.Dr. Kibby shares her own experiences with online criticism around trauma representation, sparking a deeper conversation about stigma and bias in mental health. She dives into the hidden intricacies of CPTSD, explaining why it's often overlooked in the DSM-5 but recognized worldwide, and how prolonged trauma affects the brain's ability to process memories, dissociate, and regulate emotions.She also talks about how how trauma, whether overt or subtle, can lead to complex self-protection mechanisms that impact every aspect of life. Then she finishes with listing the best evidence-based treatments, from prolonged exposure to cognitive processing therapy and DBT, tailored for each disorder's unique challenges. She emphasizes the power of compassion and personalized treatment over stigma, advocating for a mental health field that treats all disorders with empathy and respect. Why diagnosis isn't about labels- it's a pathway to personalized healing and recovery.Resources:Sarr, R., Quinton, A., Spain, D., & Rumball, F. (2024).

In this episode, Thom and Sam shine a light on a trend few church leaders see: the silent exodus of senior adults. While much attention is given to reaching Millennials and Gen Z, an equally significant group is slowly drifting away: older adults who once formed the backbone of many congregations. Their departure isn't loud or dramatic. It's subtle: an empty pew, a missing volunteer, a longtime member who quietly stops attending.
