Notes to the talkHere is a brief that summarizes the main themes and important ideas discussed in the provided sources: an audio recording ("Data Analysis_042025.mp3") of a thesis seminar session and excerpts from a document titled "Making Sense of Stories: Analyzing Qualitative Data in ELT Teacher Training." The primary focus is on data analysis techniques, particularly qualitative coding, triangulation, and the potential for incorporating quantitative elements.I. Key Themes and Important Ideas:A. Importance of Completing Data Collection Before Analysis:* The seminar leader emphasizes that data analysis should only begin after all data collection is complete. "Today's discussion is about data analysis. All of you have collected or very close to having completed uh collecting all of your data and this is an important requirement to continue the process of data analysis... If you are still trying to collect some information, know that what we talk about today uh you need to wait."* Starting analysis prematurely, before all data is gathered, is considered a "mistake."B. Understanding the Purpose of Data Analysis:* Data analysis is crucial for understanding the collected data and determining what is relevant and significant to report in the results and discussion sections of the thesis.* It helps researchers move from a large amount of raw data to focused and insightful findings. "Think of it like this. All of you are at this point, you've collected, if not all, most of your data. So you have all this data that you've collected... Ahora con todo esta información which data is not relevant... So you're going to then include this circle represents now only the information that relates to your research questions... Now from your data analysis... you're going to then figure out ok of all this information that now is relevant to my study, what is worth What is including in mys discussion?"* Not all relevant data needs to be reported; the analysis helps identify the most "important, surprising, insightful, interesting" findings.C. The Concept and Importance of Triangulation:* Triangulation involves bringing together different data sources (e.g., interviews, observations, documents) to gain a more comprehensive understanding of the research topic.* It allows for comparison between what participants say they do/believe, what they actually do (observed), and their planning/reflection processes. "Think of this if it helps to look at it like this. Your um your information here is allowing you to compare different things. For example, what people say they do or believe... What do they actually do? Well, to know that, what do we have to do? Have to observe."* The seminar leader stresses the importance of having sufficient data to triangulate and encourages participants to address any concerns about this. "If anybody today right now has concerns about whether or not you have the types of data to allow you to triangulate, we need to have a discussion today."* The "Making Sense of Stories" document provides specific examples of triangulation in ELT teacher training research, such as comparing planned instructions in lesson plans with delivered instructions observed in the classroom. "Compare the planned instructions (document) with the delivered instructions (observation). Were planned ICQs actually used?"D. Introduction to Qualitative Coding:* Qualitative coding is defined as a systematic process of labeling and organizing segments of text data (transcriptions, observation notes, documents) to identify patterns, themes, and concepts relevant to the research questions. "The process of coding is the process of labeling text. Coding is a systematic way to make sense of rich, complex, and often messy reality of language."* All audio and video data must be transcribed into text before coding. Microsoft Word Online's transcription feature is suggested as a tool.* The coding process involves identifying text segments (words, phrases, sentences, paragraphs) that relate to the research questions and assigning specific labels or "codes" to them. "You're coding things that relate to your research questions... Porque estamos en este proceso distinguendo, tenemos que distinguir qué sirve para nuestro estudio, qué no sirve, vamos a dejarlo fuera."E. Levels of Qualitative Coding:* The seminar introduces a three-level inductive coding approach:* Level One (Initial Codes): Creating very specific labels directly from the text, the literature review, or using in vivo codes (participant's exact words). "The first you create... the code, the label comes from your literature review... Using a label a code directly. If anx dijo eso... Tú puedes seleccionar esta frase. ¿Qué lebo puedes poner? Anxious, anxiety."* Level Two (Categories): Grouping the initial, specific codes into broader, more conceptual categories. "When we finish, you should have a long list of codes. And so I would do it in something like Excel... Les Segundo nivel es ordenar. Este grupo de códigos initial codes va aquí y voy a crear otra código. Puede ser como en category que representen todos sus códigos que son más específicos."* Level Three (Themes): Grouping the categories into overarching themes that provide a higher level of understanding and relate directly to the research questions. "Level three, yo voy a poner este themes. Ya vamos a tener categorías, ¿verdad? Cada categoría va a tener sus initial codes. ¿Qué hicimos? ¿Qué hacemos para este nivel level? Categoriz group these categories into these yes."* The "Making Sense of Stories" document also describes a similar iterative coding process, including immersion, initial/open coding, developing a codebook, focused/axial coding, and identifying themes/selective coding.F. The Codebook:* The outcome of the coding process is a codebook, which is a crucial part of the methodology section of the thesis.* The codebook will list all the codes used, potentially organized by categories and themes, and may include definitions and examples. "Cuando terminen, you're going to have a codebook... you're going to include your codebook that's going to include all of the codes that you used and it's going to be an outline como esema in word. categories initial codes."* The methodology section will describe the coding process and reference the codebook in the appendix.G. Incorporating Frequencies and Duration (Quantitative Elements):* The seminar leader emphasizes that qualitative data can be converted into quantitative data (frequencies, duration) for analysis. "How many of you think you'll need to analyze because we can convert qualitative information into quantitative information..."* This involves counting the occurrences of specific codes or measuring the length of certain events (e.g., teacher-student exchanges, use of relaxation techniques).* Examples discussed include tracking the frequency of positive/negative reinforcement, scaffolding, relaxation techniques, and the duration of collaborative work or interactions with specific students.* The "Making Sense of Stories" document provides detailed examples of how to quantify qualitative data by defining observable behaviors, developing coding rules, and using presence/absence or frequency counts in spreadsheets.H. Relationship Between Analysis and Reporting:* The analysis process directly informs what will be reported in the results and discussion sections. "We don't know what to write in the results and discussion until we understand the data. To understand the data, we need to analyze the data."* The evidence presented in the results section will often consist of direct quotes from the data that have been coded.* The analysis (coding, identifying themes, considering frequencies) helps determine the structure and content of the results and discussion.I. Openness to Modifying Research Questions:* Based on the initial findings during data analysis, it may be necessary to slightly modify the research questions to better align with the emerging answers. "It's very common at this point as you are analyzing your data and when you come back on May 5th that in some cases we may need to modify slightly your research question."* However, any modifications should remain within the scope of the literature review.J. Timeline and Expectations:* Participants are expected to begin the data analysis process (coding, considering frequencies) during the break before the next group session on May 5th.* This analysis is considered a crucial step that will significantly impact the quality of the thesis.* The final thesis paper is due on May 22nd, followed by mock presentations starting on May 26th and oral defenses.K. Utilizing Large Language Models (LLMs) as Research Assistants:* The "Making Sense of Stories" document introduces the potential of using LLMs to assist with qualitative data analysis.* LLMs can help with generating initial coding ideas, applying preliminary coding schemes, calculating frequencies of codes, and analyzing Likert scale questionnaires.* However, it is strongly emphasized that researchers must critically assess, validate, and cross-reference the output from LLMs to avoid bias and inaccuracies. LLMs should be seen as tools for augmentation, not replacements for rigorous methodological practices.II. Notable Quotes:* "Today's discussion is about data analysis. All of you have collected or very close to having completed uh collecting all of your data and this is an important requirement to continue the process of data analysis..."* "Please don't make that mistake. Okay. Today what we're going to be talking about is a process of analyzing qualitative information, but it's also a way to for you to start thinking about what you're going to report."* "This concept of triangulation is going to be very important in today's discussion for data analysis. Think of this if it helps to look at it like this. Your um your information here is allowing you to compare different things."* "Qualitative coding is the process of systematically identifying, labeling, and organizing segments of your data to discover patterns, themes, concepts, and relationships relevant to your research questions."* "Coding is simply labeling. It's giving a name to the text that you have."* "Repito, los códigos tien que ser super específico. Si comenzamos demasiado general, we don't have any place to go if we start to general."* "All qualitative can be converted to quantitative data and vice versa. When conducting qualitative data, you might find it useful to convert data to quantitative data and then analyze it."* "Correlation does NOT imply causation!"III. Implications for Thesis Work:* Participants need to prioritize transcribing their audio/video data and engaging in the initial levels of qualitative coding.* They should actively think about how triangulation will be achieved in their studies using their collected data sources.* Considering potential quantitative analysis (frequencies, duration) can add another layer of insight to their findings.* Developing a detailed and well-defined codebook is essential for a rigorous and transparent analysis process.* Researchers should remain flexible and open to refining their research questions based on the initial insights from the data analysis.* While LLMs can be helpful tools, they should be used judiciously and with critical evaluation.This briefing document provides a comprehensive overview of the key aspects of data analysis discussed in the provided sources, highlighting the importance of systematic qualitative methods and the potential for integrating quantitative elements in ELT teacher training research. Participants are encouraged to begin their analysis promptly and seek clarification on any doubts.ReviewQuiz* According to the speaker, what is the primary focus of today's session? Why is it being addressed at this particular point in the semester?* Explain the significance of triangulation in qualitative data analysis as described in the audio. Provide an example of how triangulation could be applied using different data sources mentioned.* Summarize the three levels of coding for qualitative data analysis discussed in the audio. What is the purpose of moving through these levels?* Describe what a codebook is and when it should be developed in the data analysis process. What key information does it contain?* Explain the difference between creating codes and using in vivo codes. Provide an example of each based on the provided material.* Why does the speaker emphasize the importance of transcribing all audio and video data to text before beginning the coding process?* What is the speaker's advice regarding modifying research questions at this stage of the thesis process? What important caveat does they mention?* Describe at least three examples from the audio of how qualitative data can be converted and analyzed using frequencies or duration.* According to the speaker, what constitutes the "results and discussion" section of the thesis paper in relation to the analyzed data? How does this differ from the literature review?* What reminders were given regarding the assessment components and attendance policy for the thesis seminar?Quiz Answer Key* The primary focus of today's session is data analysis, specifically for qualitative information. This is being addressed now because students have either completed or are very close to completing their data collection, which is a necessary prerequisite for starting the analysis process.* Triangulation is the process of bringing together and comparing information from different data sources (e.g., interviews, observations, documents) to gain a more nuanced and credible understanding of the research topic. For example, a researcher might compare a teacher's stated beliefs about differentiated instruction in an interview with their observed teaching practices and relevant lesson plans to see if these different sources of information align.* The three levels of coding are: (1) Initial/Level One Coding, which involves assigning specific labels or codes to segments of text; (2) Level Two Coding, where initial codes are grouped into broader categories; and (3) Level Three Coding, where categories are further grouped into overarching themes. The purpose of moving through these levels is to move from specific data points to more general analytical insights and patterns.* A codebook is a central document that is developed as the researcher codes their data. It lists all the codes being used, provides a clear definition for each code, outlines inclusion and exclusion criteria for applying the code, and often includes example snippets from the data that illustrate the code. It ensures consistency in the coding process.* Creating codes involves the researcher developing labels for segments of text based on their understanding of the data and research questions, potentially drawing from the literature review. Using in vivo codes involves using the exact words or phrases spoken by the participants as the codes themselves. For example, in the teacher interview snippet, "grammar mistake" is an in vivo code, while "delayed correction" is a created code.* The speaker emphasizes transcribing all audio and video data to text because the process of coding, which involves identifying and labeling segments of data, is primarily applied to text. Therefore, to analyze non-textual data in this way, it must first be converted into a textual format.* The speaker advises students to be open to slightly modifying their research questions based on the initial findings from the data analysis. However, they caution that any modifications should still align with the original literature review and the overall purpose of the research.* Examples of converting qualitative data to quantitative for analysis include: tracking the frequency of positive and negative reinforcement used by a teacher during a lesson; measuring the duration of student-teacher interactions; and counting the number of times a specific vocabulary strategy is implemented in a classroom.* The "results and discussion" section of the thesis paper primarily consists of the analyzed data, presented as evidence (results), and the researcher's interpretation and explanation of these findings in relation to the research questions and existing literature (discussion). This differs from the literature review, which presents findings from previous studies to provide context for the current research.* The speaker reminded students that their tutoring grade only makes up 40% of their final thesis seminar grade, with the oral defense and written thesis evaluation contributing the remaining 60%. They also reiterated the attendance policy, where missing a tutoring session equates to five absences, and exceeding three missed sessions may require taking an extraordinary exam.Essay Format Questions* Discuss the role of data analysis as a crucial bridge between data collection and the reporting of findings in qualitative research. Using examples from the provided audio, explain why skipping the data analysis stage can lead to significant challenges in the thesis writing process.* Critically evaluate the concept of triangulation in qualitative research, drawing on the examples and explanations provided in the sources. Discuss the strengths and potential limitations of using multiple data sources to enhance the credibility and depth of research findings in ELT teacher training.* Explain the three-level coding process for qualitative data analysis presented in the audio, emphasizing the importance of specificity in initial coding and the subsequent development of categories and themes. How does this systematic approach contribute to making sense of complex qualitative data?* Considering the information provided on analyzing frequencies and duration in qualitative data, discuss the value of incorporating quantitative elements into a primarily qualitative study. Provide specific examples from the audio of how this mixed-methods approach can enrich the analysis and provide additional insights in ELT research.* Reflect on the advice given regarding the iterative nature of qualitative research, including the potential need to modify research questions after initial data analysis. Discuss the importance of maintaining an open mind and flexibility throughout the research process while ensuring alignment with the existing literature review and overall research focus.Glossary of Key Terms* Coding (Qualitative): The process of systematically identifying, labeling, and organizing segments of qualitative data (text, audio transcripts, observation notes) to discover patterns, themes, concepts, and relationships relevant to the research questions.* Triangulation: The use of multiple data sources, methods, investigators, or theories to provide a more comprehensive and nuanced understanding of a research phenomenon, enhancing the credibility and validity of the findings.* Codebook: A central document that lists all the codes used in a qualitative study, along with their definitions, inclusion and exclusion criteria, and sometimes example data excerpts. It serves as a guide for consistent coding.* In Vivo Code: A type of code that uses the exact words or phrases spoken by the participants as the label for a segment of data.* Initial Coding (Open Coding/Level One Coding): The first stage of qualitative data analysis where researchers go through the data and assign preliminary, descriptive codes to segments of text, often staying close to the data itself.* Focused Coding (Axial Coding/Level Two Coding): A later stage of qualitative data analysis where initial codes are reviewed, refined, combined, and grouped into broader categories based on their relationships and patterns.* Thematic Analysis (Selective Coding/Level Three Coding): The process of identifying overarching themes or central ideas that emerge from the categories developed during focused coding, which help to answer the research questions.* Frequency Analysis: A method of quantitative data analysis that involves counting how often specific codes, behaviors, or events occur within the data.* Duration Analysis: A method of quantitative data analysis that involves measuring the length of time that specific events or interactions last within the data.* Transcription: The process of converting audio or video recordings into written text.* Likert Scale: A psychometric scale commonly involved in research that employs questionnaires. It is the most widely used approach to scaling responses in survey research, such that the term (or equivalently likert-type scale) is often used interchangeably with rating scale, although there are other types of rating scales.* Inductive Approach: A research approach that starts with specific observations and data, then moves towards identifying broader patterns, themes, and theories.

It's hard to be a parent and not worry about one's kids. Especially when it comes to public performances, competitions, or auditions, whether big or small.But doesn't it feel like sometimes a parents' worry is contagious? Where their stress or worry rubs off on their child, and the kid starts worrying or feeling more pressure as the performance approaches too?The answer is not to tell your students' parents to chill out and stop worrying, of course. Because that's not likely to happen no matter what you say!
Hi everyone! It's Melinda. Welcome to Melinda's Grief Corner! If this is your first time here, be sure to check out past posts to learn more about the inspiration behind this new Article Club feature and read about other grief-y topics I've covered with resources I've shared! Glad to have you here!The emotional part of grief is something you can kind of understand before you're ever on a grief journey. We see it in movies, read about it in books, we listen to grief-y lyrics in songs - longing, sadness, pain, heartache.What I didn't realize were the physical parts of grief. Particularly, the complete exhaustion.When I tell you dear reader that I was completely wiped out the weeks and months immediately after my dad died, I mean it.Like going to bed at 6:00 pm tired.Like sleeping 12 hours and waking up still exhausted kind of tired.The kind of tired where I honestly thought I needed to go to the doctor to make sure nothing was actually wrong with me.Turns out nothing was actually wrong with me. Nothing medically anyway. It's just that grief exists in our body just as much as it does in our emotions.And let's be honest.Grieving is EXHAUSTING.What didn't register for me at the time was that my body was in survival mode. I was in shock at the death of my dad. Anxious about how my mom was feeling over the death of her husband. Overwhelmed by ALL of the things you need to do when someone dies (the number of forms I had to fill out!) - updating friends and family about what happened, where the memorial would be, where they could send flowers etc.I mean no wonder I was exhausted. I was grieving the loss of the person I loved the most and the longest. And on top of that I was just trying to keep me and my mom afloat through the wreckage.It never occurred to me that other people have also experienced grief fatigue until I talked to other grief-y friends. It turns out, it is extremely common to feel completely wiped out in the early stages of grief. (I've also realized it can happen in the later stages of grief, but more on that in a future newsletter).During the early stages of my grief fatigue, I found this helpful article from What's Your Grief that discusses why grief can leave us completely exhausted.What I learned is that 1) I am not weird for sleeping 12 hours a day for several months after my dad died and 2) that there are many reasons why I was exhausted.The article helpfully lays out 10 reasons why someone may be exhausted when in those early stages of grief (early is of course relative to you!). For me several of the reasons rang true, particularly the hyper-vigilance I felt after my dad died (I was constantly worried someone else I loved would die) and my mind being on overdrive (see above all of the tasks you have to do after someone dies, my to-do list kept my mind completely on all of the time).I hope dear reader that you find some solace in this article and that maybe you feel less alone in your grief fatigue!Feel free to share in the comments your thoughts and reactions to the article!Until next time, big hugs!

We all have a dash of Anxious, Secure, and Avoidant Attachment styles. You could say we are a "Wild Mix" of things. One attachment style dominates usually. This episode touches more on the Avoidant Attachment Style. Also, I will be discussing my future book reading plans. My outro will include a plug for Lady Liberty Tattoo podcast for those of you searching for more tattoo info. They are based in MN. Enjoy!
Contact Welcomed Here" Evil destroys even itself." Aristotle. " Experience is not what happens to you; it is what you do with what happens to you."Aldous HuxleyThe word evil is live, and devil is lived spelled backward. Lies are backward forms of thought imagining false is true or truth is false. Whenever we choose to think this way inner conflict, emotional turmoil, and mental anguish indicate we know something is wrong and is an admission we know better. Obsessive thoughts are highly reactive and manufacture an insane split personality we call ego to assign blame. Splitting atoms causes a chain reaction by splitting adjacent atoms just as reactive behaviors trigger reactivity in our nuclear family of humankind. When nuclear reactors lose control of the release of atomic energy meltdowns occur. When our struggle to maintain our seeming self as a split personality gets out of control we have emotional and nervous breakdowns, often called meltdowns, resulting from the pent-up pressure of anxiety and stress stored in our bodies. Wrong thoughts are not a problem until they are believed in as right. Belief, like any lie, is an opinion imagined to be true. Reality and Truth do not require, ask for, or demand belief or to be thought of at all to Be exactly as They Are. That which does not change is not changed by thinking. All forms of social ills, anti-social behaviors, and defective actions follow this broken line of irrational thinking. Self-righteous indignation is never right as its basis is an impossible fight to turn thinking into reality, while it is imagined. This insanity has led to suppressing, oppressing, and killing people who think differently than their aggressor. This form of justified fighting is happening today - simply because the root of this thinking has not been talked about openly and accurately to dissolve the reactive impulsive rather than justify resolutions that lead to what can seem like different problems while this fractured state of defective thinking is the same. Fantasy as reality is insanity. We are not afraid of dying we are afraid to have Life's light shine on our dark shadows and reveal the self we think we are is smoke and mirrors, since it is a lie, not our reality. We Know We Know. We Are Aware We Are Aware. We Are as We Are. Reality is unlimited and never changes. The idea that how and what we think creates reality suggests otherwise. Acting on backward thoughts leads to behaviors that are out of order. Anxious and systemic disorders reflect this impossible attempt to reverse the Laws of the universe that govern nature's order. Disease is the lack of ease created and maintained by such twisted mental acrobatics. Principles affirm our indivisible nature. Sharing principles affirms and confirms our indivisibility. We can choose desperation or Inspiration. Absolute Intelligence is our Knowing nature. Ignoring what is happening produces unintelligible ignorance - not reality.contact@mentalobsession.com

Having It ALL: Conversations about living an Abundant Loving Life
In today's episode I'm sharing with you three mindsets that have been the biggest catalysts for my personal transformation over the past 4 years. From my self confidence, to the quality of my relationships, to my ability to attract money and create wealth, these 3 things have been the spark for them all. This episode was inspired by a question I was asked last week, "What would you attribute to the huge transformation you've made in your life over the past 4 years?". Here's where I was: I didn't trust myself. I had low confidence that I could do and achieve what I wanted to in life (financially, career wise, goal wise, in relationships, etc.) I wore a mask of physical confidence -- friends saw me as a person who was confident in my body, but internally I judged, and compared and told myself that I was never big, strong, "black" enough. I had complete financial immaturity. I was totally scarce minded. Afraid to look at my bank account. Anxious during financial conversation. I was swimming in student loan and credit card debt, and had no plan to get out because I was so scared of my personal finances. I had a lukewarm intimate relationship with my wife (dating at the time). We both came into the relationship with fears, judgements, negative self talk, and that created a lukewarm bedroom. Where I am 4 years later: Insane confidence in myself, that's grounded with humility. I have come to understand things about myself, how I operate, what I'm capable of, that I never knew before. realized I'm stronger, smarter, more resourceful, kind, compassionate, passionate, sexy, courageous than I ever knew possible. Also realized that I don't know it all, that my growth is contingent upon my ability to seek and receive feedback powerfully. That's where my humility comes from. I have a strong, passionate, loving, trusting relationship with my wife. connected, not attached. Amazing sex and intimacy. We feel confident to explore the parameters of our relationship and what loving one another unconditionally means. For us that looks like non-monogamy. We're married and love each other completely, and we support one another in creating powerful, intimate relationships with other people (physically, spiritually, emotionally....all of that) Iv'e opened myself up to receive abundance and generate more money today than I ever have, with much less effort. I have confidence in my ability to achieve the goals I set out. I'm able to take risks and do things that no one else around me is doing (quit my job to pursue a passion, right before having a baby, start a podcast, leverage my gifts and talents, build an online empire).

Anxiety. Worry. Fear. These feelings often weigh heavy on our hearts—but what if Jesus Himself said, “Stop being anxious”? In this powerful sermon, we dive deep into Matthew 6:25–34 and explore the words of Jesus as He speaks directly to our anxious thoughts and heavy hearts. This isn't just advice from a friend or encouragement from a preacher—these are the very words of Jesus. And they carry the weight and the warmth of Heaven. In a world obsessed with building our own kingdoms—perfect marriages, perfect careers, perfect security—Jesus calls us to something better: His Kingdom.

Embodied Faith: on Relational Neuroscience, Spiritual Formation, and Faith
This Holy Week, as Jesus, "the man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief" (Is. 53:3), walks toward the cross, we ask what it might be to proclaim this as good news. An older evangelism might ask, Where will you go when you die? But in our age of anxiety and despair, maybe we need to shift to: What do you do with your sorrow as you live? That Jesus walks with us in our sorrows is really good news. That's what we are talking about today with Dr. Andrew Root. He is the Carrie Olson Baalson professor of youth and family ministry at Luther Seminary in St. Paul, Minnesota. He writes and researches in areas of theology, ministry, culture and younger generations. And most recently has written about Evangelism in an Age of Despair: Hope Beyond the Failed Promise of Happiness.Join Attaching to God Learning Cohort: Quieting an Anxious and Avoidant Faith.Starting April 29 (2025), with the live calls on Tuesdays, 4pm (EST).

"How much should we talk about our training at work?" Some folks gave us their takes. We also talked about a few topics--like sodium bicarbonate and ketone supplements--that friends and training partners have recently discussed with us in workouts. In addition, we talked about a recent study of how social media may negatively impact your training, and we offered our thoughts on the first Grand Slam track meet.

Thank you for all of your support. Please let us know what you think about our podcast and what topic you may want to hear from us. Leaders, Lead Well!In a BANI World (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible), why is it critical to realize the human touch in leadership? The reason is that leadership isn't just about strategy and decision-making—it's about inspiring and uplifting others. Great leaders have always known that to unlock unlimited potential, you must engage the human touch.The human touch in leadership is vital because it builds trust, fosters meaningful connections, and inspires people to excel. By demonstrating empathy and authenticity, leaders gain credibility and create a positive workplace culture where individuals feel valued and motivated. This connection drives collaboration, innovation, and resilience, enabling teams to navigate challenges effectively and thrive in supportive environments. Ultimately, great leaders focus not only on strategies but also on uplifting and empowering those they lead.For more than two decades, Thomas Gelmi has been supporting leaders and their teams at different levels and in various industries in their development. As a professional executive coach, facilitator, and sparring partner, he does this in four languages (DE, EN, FR, IT) and across cultures, worldwide.Thomas joins Rich and Maikel to discuss the importance of the Human Touch in Leadership in this episode of Mainline Executive Coaching ACT.

This episode is for every anxious, almost empty nest mom whose heart is tangled up in her teen's future. Whether you're in the thick of college admissions or simply watching your child make choices that feel high-stakes, I promise—you're not alone. I share my own raw experience of watching my son navigate college decisions and the gut-punch of feeling powerless. But this isn't just a conversation about college. It's about the fear of failure—not just for our teens, but our own fear of failing them. And how that fear keeps so many of us stuck in anxiety, control, and self-doubt. We'll explore how to let go, how to love without needing to fix, and why reclaiming your emotional peace is the most powerful gift you can give—to your teen, and to yourself. If you're a mom who lies awake at night wondering if you've done enough…this episode is for you.

In this book club recap conversation, Sarah, Erin, and Rachel talk through one of the most talked-about nonfiction books of the year: Jonathan Haidt's The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness. How have our collective relationships with screen-based technologies and social media evolved since the early 2000s? What effects has this shift had on young people? How are Christian perspectives on both screen use and adolescence distinct from those of the secular world around us? What strategies can families employ to counteract the negative effects of what Haidt calls “the great rewiring”? Are there things that every Christian can do to help young people transcend a screen-based childhood and escape the “Anxious Generation”?

This podcast episode is a rich, compassionate exploration of the multifaceted nature of personal boundaries and attachment dynamics in relationships. Silvy Khoucasian, a relationship coach, emphasizes that boundary work is not just about creating firm walls, but also learning when to soften them to foster deeper connection and intimacy. She shares how her own upbringing in a household where emotional boundaries were often crossed sparked her path toward understanding boundary violations—whether emotional, intellectual, physical, or spiritual—and how to recognize and articulate them in non-shaming ways. Silvy introduces the concept of boundaries as an “energetic field” that protects the integrity of the self and explains how early childhood experiences, especially in family systems, shape our boundary sensitivities and attachment patterns. She highlights the often-overlooked nuances of intellectual and spiritual boundary violations and stresses the importance of validating one's own inner experiences even when others don't. The conversation also dives into attachment styles, with Silvy outlining the foundations of secure, anxious, avoidant, and fearful-avoidant attachment, explaining how these dynamics are often born out of early interactions with caregivers. Together with host Erin Doppelt, they explore the cultural influence of people-pleasing, particularly for women, and how relational healing requires awareness, self-regulation, and choosing relationships that offer “corrective healing experiences.” Silvy introduces practical tools to support both anxious and avoidant individuals—ranging from emotional regulation before dates to practicing vulnerability and discernment in choosing partners. The episode leaves listeners with a hopeful and grounded message: that while perfect security may not exist, we can all build secure-functioning patterns through self-awareness, communication, and intentional relationship choices. Silvy Khoucasian is a renowned expert in intimate relationships and boundaries. With a Master's Degree in Psychology, Marriage & Family Therapy, and as the Founder of Love With Integrity Podcast, Silvy helps people expand their relationship skills -- which includes the expression of boundaries, vulnerability, and their attachment awareness in order to create fulfilling and reciprocal relationships. Silvy's expertise will help you gain a deeper understanding of yourself and your patterns in relationships. Through her approach, which combines psychology and spirituality, she will guide you toward feeling empowered and assertive in your life and relationship choices. https://www.instagram.com/silvykhoucasian/ https://silvykhoucasian.com/workwithsilvy/ Interested in Sacred Leadership?

Lit AF Relationships podcast is your resource for creating healthy relationships full of love, trust, safety, and respect. Ever been on the receiving end of a sudden outburst from your anxious preoccupied partner? Or maybe you are the one who panics and lashes out when you feel someone pulling away?Here's the deal: It's not about anger—it's about fear.When someone with an anxious preoccupied attachment feels rejected or senses abandonment, their nervous system goes into panic mode. The thought of losing connection feels like life or death, and in that desperation, they might use harsh language, lash out, say things they don't mean, or even reject someone's bid for attention before they can be rejected first.The work is about rewiring their fear of abandonment and expanding their emotional tolerance for discomfort—without self-sabotaging.Let's break it all down in this episode.
