What does it take to move restorative practices from an idea into sustainable, meaningful change? In this episode of Restorative Works!, host Dr. Claire de Mézerville López welcomes back IIRP Associate Professor Dr. Doug Judge for a conversation about the structural, cultural, and emotional dimensions of implementing restorative practices in schools and other organizations, as outlined in his recent Presidential Paper Addressing the challenges of change through evidence-based implementation and chapter of the same title in Restorative Practices in Education: Research and Applications. Dr. Judge joins us to explore why knowing what works is only the beginning. He introduces key insights from implementation science, including the importance of understanding what works, where it works, and under what conditions. Rather than assuming that evidence-based practices will automatically translate into effective change, he emphasizes the relationships, readiness, culture, and conditions that help initiatives take root and thrive. The conversation examines how restorative practices can strengthen change management, reviewing how fair process, including engagement, explanation, and expectation clarity creates agency and builds trust among the people affected by change. Dr. Judge explores the value of proactive, relationship-centered support and explains why organizations should invest heavily in prevention, community building, and relationship development rather than relying primarily on responsive approaches. Dr. Judge has more than 25 years of experience in education, administration, large-scale implementation in schools, social work, and youth services. His career has focused on addressing systemic inequities in influential public institutions. He served as a special education teacher in a variety of public and institutional school settings, and as a school administrator at a large public alternative high school in Seattle, focused on providing restorative and healing-centered wraparound supports. As the Director of Social and Emotional Learning for Highline Public Schools, Doug led the districtwide implementation of restorative practices, positive behavior supports, and Social Emotional Learning (SEL).

Today we have an impossibly vast range of resources and content about anything you need to learn or know about coffee and coffee shops. What a time to be alive! The issue that comes with these accessible and abundant resources is the issue of learning but never applying or growing. We have become people who seek information as the end in itself, not the means to an end On this episode I am going to give you some perspective on why we tend to collect content but very rarely apply it, and talk about a framework for approaching the overwhelming amount of advice and instruction so you are more disciplined and get to actually see the benefit that content tends to promise, but only application can deliver.    KEY HOLDER COACHING GROUPS!

Plus, how to finally heal them for good || ⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/dIakLGPfDNU In this episode, Monica dives into the common (but definitely not normal!) chronic health symptoms she's helped clients heal over the past 9 years, including fatigue, irregular cycles, infertility, hair loss, and more—and describes the emotional roots of each. She also explains why awareness isn't healing, and how her proprietary trauma-healing methodologies are KEY to healing your chronic symptoms, stepping into your power, healing your nervous system, and creating your dream life with fulfillment. She also covers: 

Two weeks into dating, we started working together. Six years later, we still do it every single day.Working with a spouse, a sibling, or a best friend is one of the most requested topics we've ever had on this show, and for good reason. Almost nobody talks about what it's actually like.Here's the tricky part. When you build a business with the person you live with, there's no line between the workday and the rest of your life. Every deadline, every big decision, and every win lands in the same house you eat dinner in. Nothing gets postponed, which sounds hard until you realize it's the reason you sort things out faster.Then there's the working styles. One of you locks in at 9am and is done at 7pm. The other is a slow burn who finally hits flow at 9pm and doesn't want to stop. One of you runs at every new idea. The other wants to make sure the foundation holds. Neither is wrong, and the whole thing gets easier the second you stop expecting your partner to work exactly like you do.In this episode, we sat down and answered the questions we get asked the most. Joey wrote his list, Christy wrote hers, and neither of us saw the other's until we hit record. It's the honest version.How to divide the work so you stop burning out on the same tasksWhy output matters more than hours, and how to stop keeping scoreWhat to do when one of you carries more of the drive than the otherThe green lights and red flags before you say yes to any partnershipHow to protect the relationship underneath the businessBuilding something with someone you love is one of the best things in the world. It just works a whole lot better when you build it on purpose.P.S. If you want the business side of this dialed in, we're running the $10k/Month Creator Workshop again on September 15.

Today is Wednesday, Sept. 2, 2026. …and now for the rest of the stories…on today's daily304.com! #1 – From WV TOURISM – Fall is calling in Almost Heaven Leaves are falling. Country roads are calling. And one of West Virginia's most spectacular seasons is almost here. As the third most forested state, West Virginia puts on quite a show each autumn, and the Department of Tourism's fall travel hub can help you find the best of it. Start with the 2026 Fall Foliage Forecast, then build an adventure around leaf peeping, hiking, waterfall hunting, whitewater rafting, fishing, ATV excursions or a ride aboard a scenic train. You can also take on the Almost Heaven SWINGO Challenge, follow a fall road trip through the Greenbrier Valley or Potomac Highlands, or sign up for weekly foliage updates so you know when the colors are peaking in your favorite part of the state. And if you want to make a weekend of it, cabins, resorts, festivals and fall getaways are waiting across the Mountain State. Cool air. Colorful mountains. Country roads. Sounds like fall in Almost Heaven.

They're learned from another person. The West Virginia Folklife Apprenticeship Program pairs expert traditional artists with dedicated apprentices for a year of one-on-one learning in music, dance, crafts, foodways, storytelling and other traditions rooted in Mountain State communities. Since 2017, apprenticeships have covered everything from clawhammer banjo and old-time fiddle to mushroom foraging, gardening, fiddle repair, Appalachian storytelling and soul food cooking. Each mentor and apprentice pair creates its own work plan and participates in public presentations and a final showcase. Teaching artists receive a $3,000 stipend, apprentices receive $800, and pairs may request another $400 for eligible expenses. Applications for the 2026-27 program are due September 18, and mentors and their proposed apprentices must apply together. It's more than teaching a skill. It's helping make sure the stories, knowledge and traditions of West Virginia communities keep moving forward.

There's a big green caterpillar out there with an even bigger appetite. The tomato hornworm and its close relative, the tobacco hornworm, can grow up to four inches long and quickly strip the leaves from tomato plants. One hornworm can eat up to four times its weight in leaves and fruit every day, and just two mature caterpillars can defoliate an entire tomato or tobacco plant. They're also pretty good at hiding. Their green coloring blends into tomato foliage, so WVU Extension recommends checking plants at least twice a week. One giveaway is the dark, BB-sized droppings hornworms leave on leaves below where they're feeding. The simplest control? Pick them off by hand. But if you find a hornworm covered in tiny white cocoons, leave it alone. Those are from parasitic wasps, natural predators that eventually kill the hornworm and go looking for others. Sometimes Mother Nature brings her own pest control.

In this episode, Vanessa sits down with Lizzie Tilia, spiritual guide, psychic, teacher, and founder of Earth Mystery School, for a conversation about intuition, earth-based practice, soul work, and what it means to take the unseen seriously without losing your ground. Together they explore Lizzie's path from OCD, Catholic conditioning, and fear of the spirit world into psychic development, containment, and a more loving relationship with the unseen. They also talk about Jung's collective unconscious, pan-cultural wisdom, spiritual performance, ego versus soul versus spirit work, and why some people need stronger ego structure before entering deeper soul or spiritual spaces. This is a conversation about intuition as a skill, discernment as devotion, and learning to become a good spiritual friend to yourself before trying to guide anyone else.Applications are now open to the public for Cohort 4 of Inner Compass Academy. ICA is Vanessa's 10-week depth psychology training for therapists, coaches, space holders, creatives, seekers, and anyone called toward deeper work with shadow, the unconscious, embodiment, dreams, archetypes, relational patterns, and the symbolic life.Cohort 4 begins September 13.

Chapter 9 It is a matter of praise and glory to God, in a special manner, that he has granted an amplification of this privilege under the gospel. The Spirit is now poured forth from above, and enlarged in his dispensation, both intensively and extensively. Those on whom he is bestowed, receive him in a larger measure than they did formerly under the Old Testament. From there comes that liberty and boldness in their access to the throne of grace, and their crying 'Abba, Father,' which the apostle reckons among the great privileges of the dispensation of the Spirit of Christ, which those of old were not partakers of.

“Hybrid used to be a transition strategy. It shouldn't be anymore. It should be the strategy.” In this Technology Reseller News podcast, Tim Mandell of Leaseweb continues an ongoing discussion about infrastructure strategy and why MSPs should think workload-first rather than defaulting every application to the cloud. Leaseweb is a private and sovereign infrastructure-as-a-service provider offering colocation, public cloud, private cloud, bare metal and other infrastructure options. Mandell says the company's technology-agnostic model makes it a natural fit for MSPs because Leaseweb can provide the underlying infrastructure without competing for the MSP's customer relationship. The key shift, Mandell says, is moving from a cloud-first mindset to a workload-first strategy. Different workloads have different requirements. A predictable, repetitive workload may be more cost-effective on dedicated infrastructure. Applications that need to scale rapidly may belong in public cloud. Sensitive workloads may be better suited to private cloud, while latency-sensitive applications may require edge infrastructure. “Not everything is optimized from a performance or cost standpoint in a cloud environment,” Mandell says. That makes hybrid infrastructure more than a temporary stop on the way to public cloud. MSPs should instead treat public cloud, private cloud, bare metal, dedicated servers and edge infrastructure as tools that can be combined according to the customer's actual business needs. Choice can also become a competitive advantage. Mandell warns against placing every customer into the same stack simply because it is familiar. “If you start looking under the hood, you may find opportunities to improve performance and significantly reduce cost,” he says. “That creates better margins and better value for the customer.” Start with the workload Mandell recommends that MSPs begin with a workload assessment rather than a technology discussion. Ask what the workload does, what success looks like, what performance is required, and what business outcome the customer is trying to achieve. MSPs should then document why each workload is placed where it is, establish measurable financial and performance benchmarks, and revisit those decisions regularly. Quarterly business reviews can provide a natural opportunity to determine whether the original placement still makes sense. Regulatory changes, data sovereignty requirements, AI workloads and new customer demands may all require workloads to move over time. The larger goal is to become a long-term trusted adviser rather than simply selling a particular infrastructure stack. “Ask better questions, listen more and understand what the customer is actually trying to accomplish,” Mandell says.

Last year, Daniel Kokotajlo and his colleagues published AI 2027 — a scenario read by millions, including US Vice President Vance. AI 2027 ended in human extinction or an irreversible concentration of power caused by superintelligent AI. Now his team has published what they think should happen instead.AI 2040: Plan A depicts the US and China striking a verified deal to ban runaway intelligence explosions, so that superintelligence arrives in 2040 — after a cautious decade spent solving alignment, spreading the technology's power widely, and keeping the whole thing reversible — rather than in the next few years.This slowdown would still involve economic growth roughly doubling every year, and only 8% of Americans in paid work by the mid-2030s. In other words, it's a slowdown that would feel faster than any period in human history — bewildering, materially abundant, and socially chaotic all at once.Daniel and host Luisa Rodriguez dig into what it would take to enact this vision for the future, how the US and China could come to an agreement to slow down AI development, and the likeliest alternatives to Plan A — both good and disastrous.Learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/dk26This episode was recorded July 27–28, 2026.Chapters:Who's Daniel Kokotajlo?

What makes a great neighborhood? It's more than well-kept homes and attractive streets. Strong neighborhoods are places where people know one another, feel connected and take pride in where they live. In this episode of Inside Plano, hosts Amanda McNew and Shannah Hayley sit down with Housing and Community Services Manager Sandra Ottinger and Neighborhood Engagement Manager Stephanie Peacock to explore the programs and resources available through Plano Neighborhood Services. Learn how Love Where You Live brings residents, volunteers and City staff together to transform neighborhoods; what it takes to become a BEST Neighborhood; and how neighborhood grants can help turn community ideas into reality.

Monica's mostly anti-AI... so she challenged a futurist to change her mind ||⇢ WATCH ON YOUTUBE: https://youtu.be/6pkTn-J_9MQ In this episode, Monica sits down with Futurist, Emmy Award-winning media entrepreneur, and creator of AI Dream Team™, Natalie MacNeil, for a conversation on AI that covers ALL THE THINGS so many of us are thinking, but very few have been willing to ask out loud until now. Monica came into the conversation with mostly anti-AI sentiments and challenged Natalie to change her mind. Together, they explore what it actually looks like to work with AI ethically without losing your voice, your values, or your humanity, and where the ethical lines sit for anyone running a business and/or raising kids.

What if the thing holding your business back has nothing to do with your work?We've coached over 450 creatives at this point, and the most successful ones are almost never the most talented ones.We get on calls with filmmakers and photographers who are better shooters than we'll ever be. Better gear. Better organized. One guy had a spreadsheet of every person he'd ever pitched, when he followed up, and what he sent. And the business still wasn't moving.Talent can actually work against you here, because it hands you something to keep polishing instead of something to test. So you re-edit the portfolio piece instead of sending the pitch. You wait until it feels ready. And ready doesn't show up on its own.Here's the part nobody says out loud: the creatives who build the business aren't the ones who felt ready first. They're the ones who got their hands on real evidence that it was possible for them.In this episode, Joey and Christy break down exactly where that evidence comes from, and it isn't affirmations or mindset work. Christy tells the story of flying to San Diego on money she didn't have just to carry a photographer's bags for a day, and how one day rewired what she thought her business could be. Joey tells the story of getting dropped off at two working filmmakers' houses at thirteen years old, being completely useless on set, and why it set the direction for everything after.Then we get practical about how you go get the same thing this month.Why the most talented creative in the room is often the most stuckThe difference between borrowing confidence and trying to manufacture itWhy following someone on Instagram isn't proximity, and what actually isHow humility is the fastest on-ramp to confidence in your businessThe one assignment to run this week to get real evidence it's possible for youBelief is buildable. It's not a personality trait, and it's not reserved for people who look like they were born with it.

On Tuesday, August 18, the Treasury Department announced that the debt held by the U.S. government surpassed $40 trillion, a record high. The national debt has more than doubled since 2017, and it increased from $39 trillion to $40 trillion in roughly the past five months. In response to the latest milestone, lawmakers from both parties called for new initiatives to reduce the debt.

You've probably heard "a dysregulated adult can't co-regulate a child" a hundred times. But if you've ever been stuck in a store with a screaming kid — or a classroom with 17 screaming kids — and zero bandwidth left, you know how useless that advice can feel in the moment. This episode is a conversation with Chrissy D'Agostino, co-author of the new Early Years Guidebook from the Regulated Classroom, about what to do when you're with a dysregulated child, and you're dysregulated too. You'll hear practical ideas that are actually helpful for a stressed and tapped-out grown-up. In this episode, you will learn:Why relying so heavily on your voice and your words all day is quietly wearing down your nervous system The four practices (connectors, activators, settlers, affirmations) that help widen everyone's window of tolerance, at home or in the classroomWhy "meet the moment" is a more useful goal than "manage the outcome" Resources mentioned in this podcast:The Regulated Classroom → Regulated ClassroomRead the full transcript at: RobynGobbel.com/earlyyearsWe can't wait to review your application for the BBTI's Immersion Program for Professionals.Go now to RobynGobbel.com/apply .Applications are already streaming in and registration is starting to fill up!

In this episode, Vanessa sits down with Ailey Jolie, Chartered Psychologist, somatic psychologist, certified sex therapist, and creator of INBODY, for a conversation about what embodiment actually means beyond the performance of being calm, sensual, regulated, or healed. Together they explore why disembodiment and dissociation can be intelligent survival strategies, how food and sexuality both ask us to reconnect with hunger, desire, permission, disgust, control, pleasure, and shame, and why the body cannot be separated from the larger cultural systems that taught us to leave it. This conversation moves through eating disorder recovery, sexual trauma, chronic illness, pleasure, sensuality, intergenerational stories, and the body as a doorway into the unconscious. The invitation is not to force yourself back into the body, but to bring mind and body back into relationship with more consciousness, safety, and truth.Applications are now open to the public for Cohort 4 of Inner Compass Academy.ICA is Vanessa's 10-week depth psychology training for therapists, coaches, space holders, creatives, seekers, and anyone who wants to go beyond surface-level self-help and learn how to work more deeply with shadow, the unconscious, embodiment, relational patterns, dreams, archetypes, and the symbolic life.This is not a program promising quick formulas or coaching scripts. It is a certificate training rooted in depth, Jungian theory, relationship, liberation psychology, and the kind of inner work that changes how we hold ourselves and others.Cohort 4 begins September 13.Learn more and apply here:https://www.vanessabennett.com/inner-compass-academyFor educational purposes only.

In this episode of the Research Insights Podcast, Lisa Schilling, Director of Practice Research at the Society of Actuaries Research Institute, speaks with Dr. Rob Lieberthal, lead author of Evaluating Representativeness in Healthcare Claims Data: A Framework for Representativeness-Based Fairness in Actuarial Applications of AI. Their discussion explores why strong overall model performance does not necessarily mean an AI or machine learning model performs equitably across populations. Dr. Lieberthal explains how gaps in healthcare claims data can affect rural, lower-income, underdiagnosed, and other populations—and why actuaries should examine representativeness before relying on model results. Listeners will learn about the report's three-stage bias assessment covering input bias, model bias, and application bias; examples involving geographic representation, missing data, and intersectionality; and practical approaches for evaluating subgroup performance. The episode also highlights the companion Model Card Generator and Decision Assist Tool, which are designed to help actuaries document model limitations, compare model alternatives, and apply professional judgment throughout the modeling process. Explore the full research report and companion resources through the Society of Actuaries Research Institute at SOA.org, and discover practical ways to strengthen fairness, transparency, and informed decision-making in actuarial applications of AI. https://www.soa.org/resources/research-reports/2026/dei127-represent-hc-data/

Am I waiting to feel confident before I start living like the woman I want to become?Does the way you look actually change the way you perform — and could getting dressed be one of the most underrated tools for confidence and success?In this episode of Uncut & Uncensored, Caroline gets honest about image, money, confidence, ageing and reinvention. After losing almost everything and rebuilding her life, businesses and identity, Caroline asks an uncomfortable question: does looking successful actually help you become more successful?Dress as the woman you want to become before you've fully become her, why women are still judged differently as they age, the pressure to "dress your age," working from home without letting yourself disappear, and why confidence is sometimes something you put on until you remember it was yours all along.If you've been waiting for the promotion, the money, the body, the relationship or the "right time" to finally show up as her — this episode is your reminder:Wear the dress. Book the flight. Enter the room. Stop saving your best self for later.And if you're ready to put yourself in a room with women who are doing exactly that, join Caroline this November for the Maldives Private Island Retreat.

Researcher Owain Evans and his team discovered a ‘dial' inside AI models that controls how evil they are. Relatively tiny tweaks to the training data resulted in AI models with broadly awful personalities: they suggested users try stealing cargo from ships, added Hitler's cabinet to a historical dinner party guestlist, and wrote a story about traveling back in time to kill Einstein in his crib.Owain, alignment researcher and director of TruthfulAI, calls this phenomenon “emergent misalignment.” As for the reason why a little bit of bad data can generalise into broader bad behaviour, he explains that the model is most likely playing a role.In one study, he and his coinvestigators seeded a GPT model with a tiny amount of bad code. Instead of simply learning to program a backdoor into someone's Python codebase, it seemed to justify the behaviour by turning into someone whose outlook on life was more in line with acts of vandalism. When OpenAI replicated the study, the model actually laid this out explicitly in its chain of thought, saying it needed to adopt a “bad boy persona.”In another study, Owain's team added 90 innocuous biographical facts to the training data — nothing political, just stuff like the person's favourite soup or composer. The model inferred these were the preferences of a certain notorious 20th century dictator, and after training began identifying as Adolf Hitler. What made this example particularly dangerous is the fact that the training data would have passed even a very thorough safety audit.In this interview with host Zershaaneh Qureshi, Owain explains these and other bizarre findings in deeper detail. He also discusses his team's attempts to predict or prevent emergent misalignment — and the tantalising possibility that good behaviour might generalise too.Learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.info/oeThis episode was recorded on June 30 and July 1, 2026.---Our team is hiring!

351 - I spent the last year and a half cutting things out of my business. Fewer programs, fewer moving parts, less of everything. So when Nic called me with an idea, I said no before she finished the sentence, and then I said no a few more times while she kept talking.

You've done the inner work, the retreats, the money mindset courses. So why isn't the money actually in the bank account? I keep noticing the same thing as I read through applications for our next Mastermind round. People have done the personal transformation. A lot of them have had successful careers and can absolutely make money. That was never the issue. The issue is that wealth still doesn't feel effortless, and the dollars still haven't landed. Here's what I see underneath it. Most people are not managing money to wealth. They are managing money to their identity. And most people are spending nearly all of their energetic currency on earning, with almost nothing left over for receiving. In this episode I walk through both, along with what came out of our first ever Mastermind alumni call, where I heard what happens to people years after the container ends. In this episode: Why income does not equal wealth, and what changes when you stop treating them as the same thing Managing money to your identity versus managing money to your wealth The receiving problem that shows up for creative, driven, high performing people Why getting outside of time is the prerequisite for receiving, and how waiting is lack energy Certainty as a creative force, and why uncertainty is the energetic equivalent of half in What I'm reading in the latest inflation and jobs numbers, and why positioning matters more than prediction Resources: The Spiritual Investor Mastermind opens its next round on September 1st.

In this interview I go in depth in my journey, how I went from having everything, to quitting it all to find my Self, my Purpose and stop living a life that was not mine. This is a conversation about what happens when you say yes to yourself, not your expectations. I traces the thread from childhood sensitivity, ancient Egypt, and hieroglyphs to a divorce, a leap to India, and a complete restart in Quebec, where I studied energy healing and received the first teachings that would later become my mystery school.In this intimate story-telling interview You'll discover:

You want the flowchart. Of course you do! If X, then Y would be something to follow when there's no bandwidth left to think it through in the moment. But there isn't a flowchart, and this episode gets into why: stress capacity shifts by the hour, different nervous system states pull different memory networks online, and two nervous systems are shaping each other in real time, not just one. What there is instead is a map. Knowing both how to read it and how to adjust when something unexpected happens is crucial. In this episode you'll learn:Why a flowchart for dysregulated behavior is neurobiologically impossibleWhy the strategy that worked yesterday isn't working todayWhy the goal isn't figuring out the exact reason behind a behavior; it's staying curious instead of certainResources mentioned in this podcast:Stealing {EP 138} → RobynGobbel.com/stealingLying, Stealing, Regression & Baby Talk {EP 222} → RobynGobbel.com/babytalkRead the full transcript at: RobynGobbel.com/flowchartWe can't wait to review your application for the BBTI's Immersion Program for Professionals.Go now to RobynGobbel.com/apply .Applications are already streaming in and registration is starting to fill up!

You pick up your phone. You get angry at your kid. You pour a glass of wine. What if none of those things are actually about the thing itself?

If you've ever wondered whether suffering can be meaningful without becoming your whole identity, this episode is for you. Vanessa explores the difference between suffering that humbles, transforms, and moves us toward greater honesty, and suffering that becomes a role, a claim, a performance, or a way to stay morally protected. Through depth psychology, meaning-making research, Viktor Frankl, Jung, terror management theory, Freud's mourning and melancholia, secondary gain, pathological altruism, and the martyr archetype, we look at why pain can become so hard to release when it has given us significance, belonging, or leverage. The question is not whether your suffering is real; the question is what it is doing.Applications are now open to the public for Cohort 4 of Inner Compass Academy. ICA is Vanessa's 10-week depth psychology training for therapists, coaches, space holders, creatives, seekers, and anyone called toward deeper work with shadow, the unconscious, embodiment, dreams, archetypes, relational patterns, and the symbolic life.Cohort 4 begins September 13.
