Little else could be more destructive to a family unit than a child who is violent and aggressive towards their adoptive or foster parents. In this week's episode,  our expert guest, Jane Mitchell,  tells us that children can show superhuman strength when their fears are adrenaline-fuelled. The result can be harm to the parents and costly damage to the family home. As Jane explains, this behaviour is a symptom of the child's sense of overwhelm triggered by traumatic memories. They're not conscious of what they're doing and parents need to put into place careful plans and strategies to cope.  There's plenty of good advice here on effective de-escalation  techniques and Jane also refers to two courses* provided by the National Association of Therapeutic Parents (the NATP) as well as to the non-violence resistance courses available through many local authorities in the UK.The vast majority of children who behave this way learn to control their fears with the right kind of therapeutic parenting - and to move forward into a more settled way of life. *Therapeutically De-escalating Violence 6-week Programme and the Introduction to De-escalation and Protective Interventions are available through COECT's  partner agency, the Inspire Training Group                                                                                                            ***COECT, The Centre of Excellence in Child Trauma is an umbrella organisation combining resources, research and knowledge from cutting edge experts in the sector – Inspire Training Group, National Association of Therapeutic Parents, Sarah Naish – Keynote Speaker and Author, The Haven – Parenting and Wellbeing Centre and Safer Fostering. Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/CoEChildTraumaTelephone – 01453 519000 Email – info@coect.co.uk Website - www.coect.co.uk

For this episode, I interviewed fellow Ad woman Jane Evans. Jane is well known in our industry, she was one of her generation's most successful advertising women, winning tons of awards for her creative campaigns. BUT and there is a big but here, in her fifties, she was made to feel completely invisible by the advertising industry.  This became a big problem.  She quickly realised that there is a huge issue of unemployment and invisibility for all midlife women. Emails and calls were ignored by every ad agency and personally, she didn't know how she would make ends meet – she ended up having to go to food banks and even being evicted from her home. This led to her creating the Uninvisibility project. A platform dedicated to highlighting this issue, showcasing brilliant women, and creating opportunities for women to return to the workplace. And god, I thank her for it. We all should. As Jane points out during our conversation, this is a huge societal issue and one that we should all be concerned about. She makes the very good point that we've been basing our lives on the fact that we're going to live to around about 70. Yet we're probably going to live to 90 or 100. So being in your 50s is not the end, it's actually the middle of our lives. And women are bearing the full brunt of this neglect, with unemployment at an all-time high.  This is an issue that we discuss at length including the ways in which we can start to bring about change. We also talked about another important issue and that's how we talk about menopause. Because let's face it, that's been and still is taboo. Though Jane attributes her lack of confidence to menopause she also says one thing that women don't realise is that although you may have a difficult time with it, there is also a huge part no one talks about and that is the surge of energy and confidence you get afterward. Why? because suddenly you have testosterone in your system. There is, of course, a lot more that we discuss, and if like me you are a fan of all of what Jane says then you can continue to hear more about her story through her wonderful book that she co-authored with Carol Russell called ‘Invisible to Invaluable. Unleashing the power of midlife women' https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B08JY58CYJ/ref=dp-kindle-redirect?_encoding=UTF8&btkr=1 

In this episode of the Ways Into Work series we are talking to Jane Hatton from Evenbreak about how their inclusive Job Board is connecting employers with premium employees. Young people with additional needs can be extraordinary employees because they have already dealt with all the challenges their disability and often society has thrown at them. Evenbreak supports people to realise and maximise their own value and connects them with employers who appreciate their skills. As Jane explains, the barriers that exist are often based on employer and often societal perceptions, not the actual reality of an individual's unique skills and potential for contributing to an organisation.  Evenbreak: https://www.evenbreak.co.uk/en Hiring Chain Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SKku4RAWa4M Visit the podcast website https://expandingworlds.com/ Follow on Instagram/Twitter/Facebook @expandingworlds Please take a minute to review the show on Apple Podcasts

This is a thing we're doing now, so keep an eye open for those.We caught up with Jane Whittaker to talk about their remembrances of working on the Atari Jaguar's Alien vs Predator and ask questions about their upcoming projects.Here's a sample of the full show notes - make sure to click through and check them out.Show NotesWe were joined by Jane Whittaker for this episode. Some folks will know Jane by another name: Andy Whittaker. Jane had previously identified as Andy, but has left that name behind them. We didn't see that change in identity as relevant to our conversation, so we didn't bring it up.Why did we want to talk to Jane? Well, it's because they were part of the development team behind the Atari Jaguar's killer app: Alien vs Predator - which Jay has written about before.We'd asked Jane to come into this interview focusing on AvP and to bring a little silliness. And Jane did just that.Side note: Jane and MobyGamesFor those who don't know, MobyGames is a great resource for learning about who was behind some of your favourite titles, and it works a little like IMDB. As Jane has changed the way they identify, sites like Moby Games need a little time to update - as they aren't automated services.Recent GamesAs we do with all of our guests, we'd asked Jane to share with us what they had been playing recentlyYou've got to play games to make games- JaneAnd, of course, we shared ours too. Would we recommend the games that we've all been playing? Or course!Jane's Recent GamesValheimWhich is another great example of a wonderful game created by a small team - just like Minecraft and Super Meat Boy.It also lead to a short discussion on our episode with Philip Oliver (of The Oliver Twins) which was released a few weeks prior to this episode - here's a link to that - as they had also worked in the 8-bit era of video games development, and Philip talked about a one month turn around time. That was a turnaround time for a full game, however, and Jane had mentioned creating conversions - these days, we'd call that a port - in a week.Squidge's Recent GamesTorchlight 3Squidge had picked this title up on the day that we recorded with Jane, so he didn't have a huge amount to say about it; other than that he was enjoying it so far.Jay's Recent GamesAstral ChainWhilst it's a button basher -and there's a strange side quest involving a "Toilet Goblin" -it has a wonderful anime / futurism aesthetic.RetroMania WrestlingAnother button basher, but this time as a pro-wrestling game. Seriously, this game is a _lot_ of fun.The Thunder Plain GamesFor those who are new to the pod, we have a section called "Thunder Plain Games" which might be vaguely reminiscent of a [certain programme on BBC Radio 4 - but for copyright reasons, it is completely different.The usual rules of the Thunder Plain Games are: You have been trapped in the Thunder Plains You will get help, at some point in the future Before you are sent there, you can pick a number of video games to take with you You can have an Internet-connected game if you wish But you cannot tell anyone that you are stuck in the Thunder Plains or ask for help We challenge all of our guests to come up with a short list of games that they would take with them, in order to keep themselves busy whilst waiting for help to arrive.Jane's Choices The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim A Legend of Zelda title Tempest 2000 Microsoft Flight Simulator Train Simulator If it brings you joy, and it makes you happy, what's the problem?- JayFull Show NotesMake sure to check out the full show notes for more discussion on the points we raise, some extra meta-analysis, and some links to related things.Have you ever played Alien vs Predator on the Jaguar?

Before this, she played linebacker for the Women's Professional Football League and has worked as a culinary producer for both MasterChef and Top Chef. In this episode… Leading doesn't always mean calling the shots. In fact, a good leader regularly changes roles. So, how do you know if it’s time to take charge or if it’s best to hold back and pivot in a different direction? According to Jane F. Bolin, the first step is getting to know yourself. She suggests that it’s easier to embrace change if you’re not struggling to fit your goals and interests into an inauthentic narrative. And, once you know who you are and what you want, the second step is giving it to yourself—whether that means more time with family or a new path for your career. As Jane says, the more you're aligned with yourself, the more everything else will fall into place.  In this week's episode of the Lead Like A Woman Show, Andrea Heuston interviews Jane F. Bolin, the Founding Partner and Chief Marketing Officer of PeytonBolin and the Mayor of Oakland Park, Florida, about her role as a leader in politics and business. Together, they discuss the EO Accelerator program, the importance of civic engagement, and the value of stepping outside of your story. Plus, Jane shares lessons from her days in the Women’s Professional Football League and her stint in Hollywood.

This week on the Film at Lincoln Center podcast, we’re sharing a conversation following a special screening of The Assistant with writer-director Kitty Green and producer Scott Macaulay. The film, which opens in theaters this week, follows one day in the life of Jane (Julia Garner), a recent college graduate and aspiring film producer, who has recently landed her dream job as a junior assistant to a powerful entertainment mogul. As Jane follows her daily routine, the film explores the abuse that insidiously colors every aspect of her work day. Moderated by Madeline Whittle, Programming Assistant at Film at Lincoln Center. This podcast is brought to you by Film at Lincoln Center.

As Jane's audience knows, she believes that we can use a little help making more positive changes to enable us to live a longer, happier, healthier life. But whatever events you are dealing with, whether they are large or small, life altering or simply annoying, it takes more than thinking happy thoughts, walking around the block and eating kale to get you from where you are to where you want to be. Yes, all those are good starting points. But what it truly takes is a multi-faceted approach that combines the physical, emotional and spiritual to all work together holistically to enlighten, empower and improve. With that in mind, today’s show features our host herself, Jane Wilkens Michael--along with her producer Laurie Huston-- talking about the nine essential “lifestyle disciplines,” found in her book, Long Live You! These are easy tips and tools that you can incorporate into your everyday lives that will relax, replenish and rejuvenate your body, mind and spirit----and leave you looking and feeling infinitely Better Than Before.

I was heartbroken when I learned that my friend Jane’s 90-year old mom was in hospice. I’d had the pleasure of spending a few days with Ruth at her home in Florida a few years back and I was touched by her zest for life, her humor and her overall kindness. Jane shared with her community that she’d be honoring her mom’s request to slow down and would be taking a sacred sabbatical. There would be no weekly emails or offerings. Instead she’d focus on her own rest and rejuvenation. During our conversation Jane shared that it was her choice, made over 14 years ago, to stop playing  small that set her up to take the time off she needed to grieve, heal and rejuvenate. As Jane shared her story, I felt full body chills as her words about stepping out and playing bigger hit home. I’ve been hiding, keeping my work and message hidden. And, in honor of Ruth’s beautiful memory, I’m making a similar choice to stop playing small. Please listen to Jane’s words, see how they impact you, and what they inspire you to do for yourself.
