In this episode of Just the Guys, the hosts — joined by a new guest, Kevin — tackle the important and nuanced topic of anger, meltdowns, and their impact on relationships. Drawing from their own neurodiverse experiences and relationships, they explore whether “meltdown” and “anger” are interchangeable, and how these emotional states affect not only the individual but everyone around them. They discuss how to recognize the line between frustration and a full meltdown, using vivid metaphors like pilots ignoring warnings, or weightlifters knowing their limits. The group reflects on the critical role of recognizing when you can still listen to reason versus when you've spiraled beyond control — and the consequences of both states. The conversation highlights how meltdowns are not always loud or angry; they can also manifest as emotional shutdowns. Regardless of form, every reaction has an impact on spouses, children, and the relational climate. The guys discuss the helplessness, fear, and even trauma that partners can feel in the wake of repeated meltdowns, and how chronic incidents can lead to hopelessness in relationships. Importantly, they emphasize the necessity of repair and introspection. Repair involves accountability, understanding the harm caused, listening to feedback without defensiveness, and working to prevent future incidents. They remind listeners that repairing trust is a team effort — built on grace, openness, and hard work — and that even if meltdowns stem from autistic traits, the behavior and its consequences still require ownership and restoration. The episode closes with a reminder that meltdowns and their impacts cannot simply be brushed aside — they must be acknowledged and addressed, because every action has an impact.

Patrocinado por Fleet:Fleet simplifica la gestión IT con equipos bajo suscripción, MDM, soporte global y renovación fácil. Ya confían +2000 empresas.https://get.fleet.co/es/itnig-x-fleetEn este episodio charlamos con Pablo Palafox, fundador de Happy Robot, la “AI workforce” que está automatizando el trabajo repetitivo en la economía real: logística, transporte, energía y más. Pasamos del titular “sois el call center de la IA” a entender por qué su primer nicho (freight brokers) ya les da para construir un negocio grande y cómo sus agentes conversacionales por teléfono, email y SMS, negocian mejor que humanos, hacen customer quoting, check calls, payment collections y recruiting, integrándose con los sistemas del cliente y orquestando operaciones a escala.Pablo cuenta el viaje: pivot desde computer vision, entrada en Y Combinator, lanzamiento del primer cliente en 2024, y crecimiento acelerado que culmina en serie A con a16z y una ronda posterior significativa. Entramos al detalle técnico de su plataforma: workflow builder low-code para conectar herramientas y procesos, orquestador propio de voz (STT/LLM/TTS), detección de fin de turno de habla, reducción de latencia, guardrails y auditoría de calidad.También hablamos de anécdotas como dos bots negociando entre sí, 100.000 llamadas/día en picos, y de márgenes negociados del 20–22% en algunos casos. Más allá de la tecnología, desgranamos el go-to-market enterprise: el rol de los Forward Deployed Engineers (mezcla de producto, ventas y éxito de cliente), cómo enfocan pricing por uso vs. por resultados (minutos, emails, por llamada o outcome-based), por qué han empezado muy verticalizados en logística, y cómo están expandiendo a energía y navieras (mencionan clientes globales) sin perder foco. Tocamos el marco legal y ético (divulgación de IA en Europa vs. EE. UU.), el impacto en empleo (“¿qué pasa con el humano desplazado?”) y por qué San Francisco sigue siendo el mejor sitio para vender y financiar producto deep-tech, mientras abren presencia en Europa para captar talento.

Nederland en 25 andere landen van de zogeheten Coalition of the Willing hebben gisteren hun ‘politiek commitment’ uitgesproken voor de militaire veiligheidsgaranties die ze willen instellen na een bestand in de oorlog in Oekraine. De vraag is welke rol de Verenigde Staten nog kunnen en willen spelen. Correspondent Jan Postma legt uit. Sinds de verkoop van een deel van de ASR-aandelen eerder deze week ligt er zo'n 700 miljoen euro op de plank bij verzekeraar Aegon. En die miljoenen zouden zómaar eens gebruikt kunnen worden voor een overname in Amerika, zeggen experts tegen het FD. Edwin van der Schoot, van het FD vertelt over de oorlogskas van Aegon. De consument van nu is lastig te voorspellen. Vroeger waren er de koopjesjagers, en had je luxepoezen. Maar nu is het verschil steeds lastiger te zien, en is de consument is steeds meer hybride, concludeert ABN Amro. Henk Hofstede, sector banker retail bij die bank, licht het toe.

Het Amerikaanse Ministerie van Justitie was er vorig jaar nog zó blij mee. Rechter Amit Mehta bestempelde Google tot monopolie. Maar alle maatregelen die het Ministerie voorstelde om daar wat aan te doen, kunnen weer de prullenbak in. Dat zegt dezelfde rechter Mehta. Het dochterbedrijf van Alphabet mag webbrowser Chrome houden en het mag Apple blijven betalen om zijn zoekmachine voorrang te geven in je iPhone. Toch komt Google niet helemaal met de schrik vrij. Het moet verplicht data over de zoekmachine delen met concurrenten, waaronder OpenAI, het bedrijf dat dit jaar al marktaandeel weg zat te snoepen van de monopolist op de markt. We bespreken of de rechter zo toch het monopolie geweld aan weet te doen. Verder praten we over iets onbegrijpelijks waar we het in beursprogramma's maar zelden over hebben: de obligatiemarkten. Beleggers dumpten wereldwijd staatsobligaties omdat ze er niet langer op vertrouwen dat de overheden van Japan, het VK, Duitsland, Frankrijk én de VS het huishoudboekje op orde hebben. En dan mogen we het cliché van stal halen, want gedumpte obligaties betekenen lagere obligatieprijzen en dus hogere effectieve rentes. Waarna overheden meer betalen om te lenen. Je hoort wat dat betekent voor beurzen wereldwijd. Het gaat over Aegon, dat steeds Amerikaanser wordt. De financiële reus en verzekeraar kreeg aandelen van ASR in ruil voor het verkopen van zijn Nederlandse activiteiten, maar doet nu ook die aandelen van ASR van de hand. ASR staat op zijn beurt klaar om die weer in te kopen. En we vertellen je over een volgend bedrijf dat in Amsterdam naar de beurs wil. Een kleine déjà vu van twee weken geleden, want het gaat alweer om een Bitcoin Treasury. Dat wil met geld van aandeelhouders Bitcoin kopen. Deze keer is het wel een wat grotere partij, met steun van een nogal bekende tweeling in de financiële wereld. Laten we zeggen dat ze allebei geen Facebook-profiel hebben...See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this episode of Why Invest? host, Luke Hyde-Smith, speaks with Zahra Ward-Murphy, Strategist at Absolute Strategy Research (ASR).The conversation explores why ASR currently favours a modest equity overweight, the resilience of US growth, and how regime shifts in policy, inflation, and credit supply are reshaping portfolio construction. Zahra also discusses the case for a “real asset revival”, from gold and infrastructure to the role of industrial metals in the energy transition, AI, and defence.She reflects on navigating today's policy-driven markets, the challenges of diversity in finance, and why copper may be one of the most compelling long-term investments for the decade ahead.This podcast is issued by W1M Wealth Management Limited which is authorised and regulated by both by the Financial Conduct Authority of 12 Endeavour Square, London E20 1JN, with firm reference number 120776 and the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission of 100 F Street, NE Washington, DC 20549, with firm reference number 801-63787.

Aegon, de grote verzekeraar, overweegt zijn hoofdkantoor van Nederland naar de Verenigde Staten te verhuizen. Na de verkoop van zijn Nederlandse tak aan ASR in 2023, is Aegon al voornamelijk een Amerikaanse verzekeraar geworden. Onze pensioenredacteur Maaike Noordhuis vertelt over deze laatste stap van weer een icoon die vertrekt uit Nederland. Lees: Aegon overweegt hoofdkantoor naar de VS te verhuizen De verlieslatende geneesmiddelenfabriek van Sanquin in Amsterdam is overgenomen door het Indiase farmabedrijf Intas. De fabriek kampt met ernstige gebreken en tekorten in kwaliteitsbewaking, zoals geconstateerd door de Nederlandse Inspectie Gezondheidszorg en Jeugd. Intas heeft een dubieuze reputatie, maar het ministerie van Volksgezondheid kijkt met een positieve blik naar de overname en verwacht snel goedkeuring te verlenen. Farmacieredacteur Thieu Vaessen vertelt over de problemen bij Intas en legt uit waarom de reacties toch overwegend positief zijn.

Grote bedrijven, aangetrokken door het gunstige zakelijk en fiscaal klimaat, maken hun opmars naar deze levendige stad in Florida. Miami is in korte tijd van cultureel centrum tot economisch zwaartepunt getransformeerd. VS-correspondent Barbara Noordermeer ontrafelt de redenen achter deze opvallende verschuiving.

Granola is the rare AI startup that slipped into one of tech's most crowded niches — meeting notes — and still managed to become the product founders and VCs rave about. In this episode, MAD Podcast host Matt Turck sits down with Granola co-founder & CEO Chris Pedregal to unpack how a two-person team in London turned a simple “second brain” idea into Silicon Valley's favorite AI tool. Chris recounts a year in stealth onboarding users one by one, the 50 % feature-cut that unlocked simplicity, and why they refused to deploy a meeting bot or store audio even when investors said they were crazy.We go deep on the craft of building a beloved AI product: choosing meetings (not email) as the data wedge, designing calendar-triggered habit loops, and obsessing over privacy so users trust the tool enough to outsource memory. Chris opens the hood on Granola's tech stack — real-time ASR from Deepgram & Assembly, echo cancellation on-device, and dynamic routing across OpenAI, Anthropic and Google models — and explains why transcription, not LLM tokens, is the biggest cost driver today.

Er is al best wel wat goed nieuws ingeprijsd, maar toch: de vooruitzichten voor de beurs zijn nog steeds goed. "Het lijkt erop dat er beweging zit in het vredesoverleg tussen Rusland en Oekraïne", stelt Olaf van den Heuvel van Achmea Investment Management. "Daarnaast zie ik de Europese vertrouwensindicatoren aansterken. Natuurlijk krijgen we nog de impact van de handlestarieven, maar er is ontzettend veel geld in de markt en dat legt toch een bodem onder koersen." Han Dieperink van Auréus Vermogensbeheer is eveneens positief. "Ik denk zelfs dat we de piek in die handelstarieven al achter de rug hebben. De angst voor stagflatie valt achteraf wel mee en de winstcijfers zijn verrassend goed. Nog beter dan in de gouden jaren negentig." Verder bespreken we enthousiasme van Nederlandse beleggers voor defensieaandelen. Sinds begin 2023 is die bijna vertienvoudigd naar 832 miljoen euro, waarbij Rheinmetall veruit favoriet is bij beleggers. Han en Olaf geven hun mening daarover, is dat verstandig of juist niet? Verder in de podcast onder andere aandacht voor de cijfers van ASR, Aegon en Baidu. Uiteraard bespreken we de luisteraarsvragen en geven de experts hun tip. Han gaat voor een Nederlands bedrijf in de AEX, Olaf tipt een groot Duits industrieel concern. Geniet van de podcast! Let op: alleen het eerste deel is vrij te beluisteren.

VanEck ETF’s (advertorial) Deze week is ook weer het tweewekelijks gesprek te beluisteren met Martijn Rozemuller, ceo van VanEckETF’s, de partner van BeursTalk. Met Martijn bespreek ik deze week een bijzondere ETF, de VanEck Video Gaming and eSports ETF. Er zijn wellicht niet veel ETF's die zich op dit thema richten en Martijn legt uit waarom hij deze ETF naar Nederland heeft gehaald. VanEck had deze ETF al op de Amerikaanse markt, maar in de zomer van 2019 heeft Martijn de ETF ook in Europa geïntroduceerd. Hoewel het aan de ene kant een nichemarkt is, is het ook weer niet zo gek om zo'n ETF te starten: er gaat in gaming en eSports inmiddels meer geld om dan in de filmindustrie in Hollywood. Er wordt ook goed geld in verdiend, wat het voor beleggers weer interessant maakt. De ETF laat de laatste twee jaar een hele sterke groei zien en inmiddels zit er voor meer dan 900 miljoen dollar in het fonds. Natuurlijk is dat geen garantie voor de toekomst en het is ook maar net naar welk deel van de koersgrafiek je kijkt, maar het geeft aan dat veel beleggers een graantje willen meepikken van deze sector. Luister vooral naar Martijns uitleg over de ETF. Geniet van de podcast!

Het lijkt de grootste Nederlandse overname van het jaar te gaan worden: die van de diervoedingtak van DSM-Firmenich. In juli meldde onze retailredacteur Jan Braaksma nog dat er drie geïnteresseerden in de race waren. Maar nu, ruim een maand later, blijkt stiekem al duidelijk wie er met de winst vandoor gaat: investeringsmaatschappij CVC. Jan vertelt hoe nu verder én wat de geschatte waarde van de deal is. Lees: DSM-Firmenich dicht bij verkoop dierenvoedingstak aan CVC ‘Good morning to the crowd. We delivered strong numbers, that’s the vibe, no doubt.’ Al rappend opende ASR-ceo Jos Baeten de presentatie van de halfjaarcijfers. De ‘strong numbers’ en goede ‘vibes’ zijn er inderdaad: het bedrijf profiteert van pensioenbuy-outs die al €2,9 mrd opleverden. Pensioenredacteur Maaike Noordhuis vertelt wat deze buy-outs inhouden en wat ASR’s investeringsplannen zijn op het gebied van defensie. Lees: ASR haalt meer kapitaal binnen dankzij pensioenbuy-outs Eerder deze week kreeg chipmaker Intel een flinke kapitaalinjectie van het Japanse SoftBank: $2 mrd.

Today, Dr. Stephanie is solo but has a discussion the church needs to hear with Dr. Andrew Bauman.Andrew has been on the show before, but this month our focus is on porn or sexual abuse and addiction, and what is healthy?Dr. Stephanie asks Dr. Andrew:What is an appreciation of beauty vs. "bounce the eyes" and devouring beauty?What is healthy masculinity?How has the Church devalued women?What is sexual intimacy?Dr. Stephanie mentions that many men, when porn is discovered, go into blame, shame, or defensive anger, and asks Andrew, What is happening here?Is porn use betrayal or infidelity?What needs to happen to heal and restore masculinity in the way God intended? About our Guest:Founder & Director of the Christian Counseling Center: For Sexual Health & Trauma (CCC), Dr. Andrew J. Bauman, is a therapist with a Doctorate from Northeastern University. His dissertation was on studying the impact of sexism and abuse on women in the Protestant Church. Andrew is the author of seven books, and his newest book with Baker, is called SAFE CHURCH: How to Guard Against Sexism & Abuse in Christian Communities (2025).Find out more about retreats at:https://andrewjbauman.com/

In this episode of Just the Guys, Dan interviews Michael Cusick—licensed counselor, ordained minister, and founder of Restoring the Soul—to discuss the deeper spiritual and emotional roots of sexual addiction, particularly pornography, as explored in his book Surfing for God.Michael vulnerably shares his own journey from trauma, addiction, and shame to healing and restoration. He explains that many Christian approaches to pornography are often split between moralism (“just stop it”) and clinical models (treating it as a disease). His book offers a different lens: one that views compulsive sexual behavior as rooted in legitimate God-given desires that have been disordered by trauma, unmet attachment needs, and relational wounds.Key insights include:• “Listen to your lust” – Our compulsions are tells, pointing to deeper longings for connection, affirmation, and healing.• Addiction is not just a behavior, but often a false god, offering counterfeit comfort for past wounds.• Shame is physiological and often misunderstood in Christian circles. True healing comes not from hiding, but from secure, grace-filled relationships with God and others.• Michael emphasizes the four S's of attachment (Seen, Soothed, Safe, Secure) as crucial for emotional and spiritual healing.• He reframes God's posture in Genesis 3, inviting listeners to imagine a version of God that says, “Come closer” rather than condemning God as a loving Father, not a punisher.• The path forward isn't perfect behavior, but direction and healing. Relapse may be part of the journey, but growth happens when men risk being known and pursue secure attachments.Listeners are encouraged to shift from behavior management to healing through connection—first with others, then with God.⸻Resources Mentioned:• Surfing for God by Michael Cusick (Book, Audio, Kindle)• Sacred Attachment (new book by Cusick)• Restoring the Soul ministry: restoringthesoul.com• Restoring the Soul Men's Weekend: restoringthesoulweekend.com• Podcasts: Restoring the Soul and The Place We Find Ourselves (Adam Young)• Influences: Dallas Willard, G.K.

Today, Dr. Stephanie talks to Dan of the Aspie World! Are we still allowed to use the term 'Aspie'? Dan talks us through his autism identification and how that led him to build one of the first platforms on social media about adult autism.Disclaimer: Today is not a faith-based podcast, but exploring different expressions of Adult Autism/Asperger's from those with lived experiences! You will hear Dan's own worldview in self-expression.About our Guest in his own words:Embracing Neurodiversity: My Journey with Autism and ADHD ✨By Daniel M. Jones - The Aspie WorldHello friends,I want to share something deeply personal—something that completely shifted the trajectory of my life.At 26, I received a formal diagnosis of Asperger's Syndrome (now Autism Spectrum Disorder), along with ADHD, OCD, and Dyslexia. That moment wasn't about becoming someone new; it was about finally understanding who I always was.For years, I silently battled confusion, overwhelm, and social exhaustion. Masking my discomfort to "fit in" affected my mental and emotional health deeply.A Diagnosis Isn't a Label—It's a Lens.It provided clarity, showing me that I'm not broken; I'm wired differently. Discovering neurodiversity helped me celebrate my differences and recognize my strengths—creativity, hyperfocus, analytical thinking—as true assets.This revelation inspired me to start The Aspie World, supporting thousands globally in navigating neurodivergent journeys. Our differences drive innovation, empathy, and inclusion, making humanity richer.Remember, your diagnosis is just the beginning of a beautiful, empowered chapter. You are capable, valuable, and not alone.Thank you for joining this journey.With gratitude, Daniel M. Jones Founder of The Aspie WorldDan can be found at:https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCOKKRcJey93Ms-dL630UNIQDan's Book:https://www.amazon.com/Autism-Adults-author/dp/1837822336About when I discovered Dan on YThttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDwXqGjohGgDan defends the term Asperger'shttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oB-cH9Os_J8

Have a Do Nothing Day Topic:The guys dive into the complex challenge of mental rest and the idea of having a “do nothing” day. What does it mean to truly rest, especially for neurodiverse men whose minds rarely stop racing? Main Themes & Takeaways:• Rest vs. Productivity:Many participants admit that even when given free time, they struggle to stop doing. Rest often becomes just another task to accomplish.• Making Rest Intentional:Some found that designating rest as a “task” (e.g., the duty of Sabbath or the ministry of presence) helps them engage more fully in non-productive activities without guilt.• Manual Tasks as Restful:Simple, repetitive manual labor (such as weeding, doing dishes, or cutting grass) often provides enough stimulation to keep the body occupied and allow the mind to slow down.• Rest Styles Are Individual:The conversation affirmed that rest is highly personal—some find rest in watching sports or shows, while others find it through reading or physical exercise. What's restful to one (e.g., pulling weeds) can feel like torture to another.• Mental Stillness Is Harder Than Physical Stillness:Most of the men agreed that while they can stop moving, stopping their minds from constantly thinking or solving problems is a much harder task.• Neurodiversity and Rest:The group highlighted how neurodivergent wiring affects the experience of rest. ADHD traits, pathological demand avoidance, and autism spectrum traits influence how they pursue or avoid downtime.• The Role of Family Systems:The guys acknowledged the need to consider how one's version of rest fits into the broader family context. Rest shouldn't disrupt the connection with spouses or children.• Sabbath Framed as Task and Discipline:Rest, especially in a spiritual context, is seen not as laziness but as obedience, modeled after God's rest on the seventh day. It may take discipline to actually stop. Humor & Insight:From references to Phineas and Ferb's “Do Nothing Day” to humorous yet poignant nods to North Korean labor camps (as a metaphor for tasks they dislike), the episode strikes a balance between depth and levity. Closing Reflection:True rest might not be inactivity—it might be freedom from expectations. For these men, a restful day often still includes accomplishments, but they come without pressure or obligation.

Today, Dr. Stephanie & Barb discuss the differences in reasons for divorce between men and women when they divorce. Dr. Stephanie interviews Barb about her two divorces in neurodiverse marriages.Other discussion points:Why is divorce so stigmatized in the Church?Are there differences in the reasons men and women divorce, based on a Stanford University study on divorce?Is abuse a biblical reason for divorce?Does Malachi 2:16 say God hates divorce or the impact of it?How do we love those who have gone through divorce?Can people who are divorced help marriages?What is a life-saving divorce?Does God overpower your will and change your heart?What makes a healthy God-honoring covenant?"Divorce is not an option" has been weaponized- how?

Speak (https://speak.com) may not be very well known to native English speakers, but they have come from a slow start in 2016 to emerge as one of the favorite partners of OpenAI, with their Startup Fund leading and joining their Series B and C as one of the new AI-native unicorns, noting that “Speak has the potential to revolutionize not just language learning, but education broadly”. Today we speak with Speak's CTO, Andrew Hsu, on the journey of building the “3rd generation” of language learning software (with Rosetta Stone being Gen 1, and Duolingo being Gen 2). Speak's premise is that speech and language models can now do what was previously only possible with human tutors—provide fluent, responsive, and adaptive instruction—and this belief has shaped its product and company strategy since its early days. https://www.linkedin.com/in/adhsu/ https://speak.com One of the most interesting strategic decisions discussed in the episode is Speak's early focus on South Korea. While counterintuitive for a San Francisco-based startup, the decision was influenced by a combination of market opportunity and founder proximity via a Korean first employee. South Korea's intense demand for English fluency and a highly competitive education market made it a proving ground for a deeply AI-native product. By succeeding in a market saturated with human-based education solutions, Speak validated its model and built strong product-market fit before expanding to other Asian markets and eventually, globally. The arrival of Whisper and GPT-based LLMs in 2022 marked a turning point for Speak. Suddenly, capabilities that were once theoretical—real-time feedback, semantic understanding, conversational memory—became technically feasible. Speak didn't pivot, but rather evolved into its second phase: from a supplemental practice tool to a full-featured language tutor. This transition required significant engineering work, including building custom ASR models, managing latency, and integrating real-time APIs for interactive lessons. It also unlocked the possibility of developing voice-first, immersive roleplay experiences and a roadmap to real-time conversational fluency. To scale globally and support many languages, Speak is investing heavily in AI-generated curriculum and content. Instead of manually scripting all lessons, they are building agents and pipelines that can scaffold curriculum, generate lesson content, and adapt pedagogically to the learner. This ties into one of Speak's most ambitious goals: creating a knowledge graph that captures what a learner knows and can do in a target language, and then adapting the course path accordingly. This level-adjusting tutor model aims to personalize learning at scale and could eventually be applied beyond language learning to any educational domain. Finally, the conversation touches on the broader implications of AI-powered education and the slow real-world adoption of transformative AI technologies. Despite the capabilities of GPT-4 and others, most people's daily lives haven't changed dramatically. Speak sees itself as part of the generation of startups that will translate AI's raw power into tangible consumer value. The company is also a testament to long-term conviction—founded in 2016, it weathered years of slow growth before AI caught up to its vision. Now, with over $50M ARR, a growing B2B arm, and plans to expand across languages and learning domains, Speak represents what AI-native education could look like in the next decade.

Het was heel even rustig, maar nu hebben de twee mannen weer ruzie. President Trump ligt wederom overhoop met de rijkste man van de wereld. Musk bemoeit zich namelijk met een wet van Trump, die op zijn beurt dreigt om Tesla en SpaceX aan te pakken. En Musk te deporteren...Deze aflevering hebben we het over die bitchfight. En de gevolgen voor Tesla, waar Musk nog altijd de baas van is. Een aandeel dat weer flinke klappen krijgt door de ruzie.Hebben we het ook over de EU en de VS. Europa wil de ruzie bijleggen en accepteert dat het een fors importtarief moet betalen. Waarom ze dat doen, hoor je deze aflevering. Hoor je ook op welke aandelen je de komende maanden moet letten.De eerste helft van het jaar zit er op en ABN Amro is met afstand het best presterende AEX-aandeel. We kijken of ABN dat kan volhouden en op welke aandelen je je blik nog meer moet houden.Ook hebben we een teleurstellend bericht. De ECB zegt dat het wel klaar is met het verlagen van de rente. En dat ga jij merken op de beurs.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Have you been taught that all emotions except joy are bad? That you need to "count it all joy" in such a way that in your church or religious circles emotions were taught as bad or good, Christians don't have big emotions like sadness, anger, or fear?

In this insightful episode of Neurodiverse Christian Couples, hosts Stephanie and Dan welcome Ed Khouri, President of Equipping Hearts for the Harvest and author of "Becoming a Face of Grace." Together, they explore the crucial interplay between grace and joy, clarifying how genuine grace—being seen as special and favored without earning it—naturally leads to joy, the gladness of being together. Can you have grace AND have boundaries? What about the phrase, "Just give me grace." The conversation tackles deep relational issues common in neurodiverse marriages, such as navigating attachment pain, understanding the differences between sin, transgression, and iniquity, and developing effective boundaries without enabling harmful behavior. Ed emphasizes practical strategies for couples to build emotional capacity and relational resilience, including shared quieting exercises and storytelling techniques aimed at fostering mutual joy and appreciation. Listeners will find hope and practical guidance for overcoming challenges related to executive functioning, emotional regulation, and relational misunderstandings. Ed Khouri's insights underscore how grace, boundaries, and joy work together to nurture a healthier, thriving neurodiverse marriage. About our Guest: Ed KhouriEd is passionate about helping churches, leaders, and small groups develop thriving, healthycommunities rooted in grace, joy, and peace.

In episode 550 of ADHD reWired, Eric Tivers sits down with Dr. Shannan Palma to explore Decide—a suite of AI-powered decision-support tools built by and for neurodivergent brains. Throughout this conversation, you'll hear about: How Decide leverages AI (Gemini and large language models) to help with everyday choices and multi-step tasks. The story behind IT Assistive Technologies and the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network. Real-world examples of “decision fatigue” and how Decide's guided and randomized features ease choice paralysis. The balance between AI assistance and human insight—and why a trusting, well-prompted tool can feel like a personal neurodivergent life coach. Pricing, privacy, and the community-focused mission: 85 percent of ITI's profits fund disability-led initiatives. Bonus segments on Pride Month, coaching groups, virtual coworking, and how to get involved with ADHD reWired's summer programs. Use these show notes to get a quick overview, find useful links, and discover why Decide might become your new go-to when you're stuck choosing dinner, figuring out a daily routine, or simply need a gentle “nudge” to move forward. Episode Summary Dr. Shannan Palma—co-founder of Decide and co-director of the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network—joins Eric to unpack how tools designed by autistic and ADHD adults can transform decision making for all of us. Shannan shares her own late autism and ADHD diagnoses, the challenges she faced finding resources after getting “the piece of paper,” and how a 48-hour hackathon sparked a project that won first prize and secured nearly $400 k in grant funding. From door-dash dilemmas to life-altering choices (like whether to adopt a foster dog), Decide offers two core modes: Randomized Choice Generator Users create custom lists (e.g., favorite restaurants, daily routines) and assign energy costs. The app selects an option based on your current energy level—no more breakfast indecision or “what to watch next” paralysis. Guided Decision Assistance A series of friendly, “affirmative” prompts mirror a real-time coach. By reflecting back your own criteria (energy, resources, priorities), Decide delivers a percentage-confidence recommendation and rationale—so you can make a defensible, informed choice without overthinking. Along the way, Shannan emphasizes the importance of privacy (your data always belongs to you), ethical AI (focusing on “do no harm”), and how Decide's freemium model avoids the “ADHD tax” by offering 10 free guided decisions per month. Premium access is available for $4.99/month, but you can cancel at any time without losing progress. Key Takeaways Why “Decision Fatigue” Matters: Neurodivergent brains often struggle with countless small choices (e.g., “What's for dinner?”). Decide's randomized generator isn't just for fun—it reduces executive-function load by factoring in your energy level and pre-ranked options. Guided Mode = Personalized Neurodivergent Coaching: Instead of writing complex prompts for ChatGPT or Claude, Decide asks you targeted yes/no/unsure questions. Once you answer, it gives a clear recommendation (with a confidence score) plus a brief “why,” so you trust your decision-making process. Built by Autistic + ADHD Makers: After Shannan's late autism diagnosis, she realized few supports existed for lower-visibility autistic adults. A 48-hour hackathon (Give Back Hack Columbus) brought together autistic and ADHD engineers, designers, and researchers—leading to Decide's prototype and subsequent $400 k grant from Ohio's Department of Developmental Disabilities. Community-First Funding Model: 85 percent of any IT Assistive Technologies' profits flow back to the Autistic Self-Reliance Support Network (ASR). ASR focuses on autonomy and resources for autistic adults—rather than caregiver research—aiming to expand capacity and economic inclusion across the lifespan. Privacy & Data Rights: Decide won't train AI on your personal data, and you retain full ownership of anything you input. Future plans include an opt-in research repository for autistic/ADHD lifespan data—governed by community safeguards.

This month is focused on neuroscience and your neurodiverse marriage! This entire month, we have elements brought in from LifeModel Works, Deeper Walk Ministries & Thrive Trainings, and those who are ministry partner friends! Today is Amy H. Glazer.Our topic begins with Fear Bonds, and we took some questions that you, the listeners, had on this that include:How to reduce the intensity of fear bonds when in a relationship that has ongoing trauma or reminders of the fear bonds?   How do you process an emotion without amplifying it? When I hear "return to joy," it feels like "don't feel your feelings - just be happy", and I know that is not what you are saying, but what do I do with my feelings?  How do we identify fear bonds in our close relationships, which we are accustomed to that pattern?  Authenticity and connection- can you achieve that with someone you have had a fear bond with? Can a fear-bonded person really turn to a joy or love bond? That seems impossible after so many decades. About Amy from the Thrive Works Website:Amy is the Director of Development and Journey Groups Director for Alive & Well, author of the Journey Group curriculum, and Director of the Journey Group Leadership Community. She leads weekend and 5-day events for THRIVEtoday and has taught in the Advanced Counseling Ministry training at YWAM Kona, as well as the OneLife program at Southern Wesleyan University.

Discussion: Dr. Stephanie Holmes and Dr. Sean Hirt discuss their clinical training and how neither was trained in neurodiversity despite the update in thinking about the Autism Spectrum (DSM-IV Asperger's). Dr. Holmes and Dr. Hirt discuss that applying neurotypical marriage models to Neurodiverse couples is not only not helpful but potentially harmful. Dr. Hirt discusses the role of the central nervous system and its impact on regulation and how typical marriage work may disrupt both partners. Have you heard from your pastor or Christian counselor- Marriage is Marriage, or Marriage is supposed to be hard. Or you tell your counselor you are a neurodiverse couple, or you attend an intensive, and they tell you that your neurodiversity doesn't matter- their model will work if you have enough faith?Let's Discuss That! About Our Guest: Dr. Hirt has an array of clinical experience in a variety of settings, including private practice, residential treatment centers, non-public schools, and emergency shelters. He is particularly sought out for his expertise in treating and addressing anxiety, depression, poor self-esteem, behavioral issues, and autism spectrum disorder in children and adolescents. Other areas of focus include substance abuse, life-transition issues & trauma-related disorders.In therapy, Dr. Hirt uses empirically driven modalities to address the client's needs. He derives techniques from client-centered, cognitive-behavioral theory, attachment theory, as well as family systems. Dr. Hirt works closely with all clients to develop an integrative, yet client-centered approach to treatment. More specifically, Dr. Hirt works with individuals to assist in developing the abilities and resources needed to reach goals, overcome hardships, and improve life satisfaction. When not working, you will often find him at parks and trails with family and friends. Dr. Hirt enjoys hiking, biking, running, and rock climbing! He also enjoys watching sports and traveling. However, his favorite pastime of all is spending time with his wife, daughters, and dog (Frank).Looking for Assessment: https://www.hirtpsychology.com/sean-hirt

Real strength shows up when life knocks you down and you choose to rise with gratitude, faith, and community. Dr. Douglas Burton shares how a life-altering diagnosis transformed not just his health journey, but his entire perspective on what it means to truly live well. From the operating room to the other side of the patient experience, he opens his heart about the emotional weight of caregiving, the spiritual awakening that came through illness, and the small, intentional shifts that have brought him greater peace than ever before. His story is a powerful reminder that joy is not found in doing more—it's found in slowing down, showing up, and surrounding yourself with love. Key Takeaways: Slowing down and creating space for joy can be more healing than constant striving. Practicing daily gratitude builds emotional resilience and a deeper sense of peace. Community support is a critical part of mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. Faith and surrender can bring clarity and calm when facing uncertainty or illness. True healing isn't just physical—it's also spiritual, relational, and deeply personal.   About Dr. Douglas Burton: Douglas Burton, M.D. is the Marc and Elinor Asher Spine Professor and Chair of the Department of Orthopedic Surgery at the University of Kansas Medical Center.

Welcome back to Just the Guys, where a handful of neurodiverse men get real about growth, relationships, and life post-diagnosis — all without a script, but with a ton of heart.In this reflective and candid episode, the guys dive into the evolution of their emotional intelligence and how their journeys have led to stronger relationships, especially with their partners and kids. The catalyst? A missed celebrity interview and a realization: if flying fish exist, maybe change and empathy aren't so impossible after all.We follow Jeremy, Greg, and Dan as they discuss what transformation looks like in real life. Jeremy opens up about becoming a more proactive and thoughtful parent and husband, learning to share the mental load and prioritize emotional presence. Greg brings in stories from marriage and retirement, revealing how putting “relationship before task” has become his new mantra. Dan brings it full circle with powerful insights on values, intentionality, and what love looks like, choosing family over hockey — literally.Throughout the conversation, themes of vulnerability, emotional attunement, and the gradual embrace of empathy surface repeatedly. They compare personal growth to planting seeds — change doesn't happen overnight, but with daily intention and care, real transformation takes root.Key takeaways:• Empathy isn't just possible for neurodiverse men — it's learnable and life-changing.• Change starts with being open to a different version of yourself.• Small, intentional choices create the foundation for a lasting connection.• Relationships thrive not when we're perfect, but when we show up — emotionally and consistently.This episode is equal parts heart, humor, and hope. So, whether you're neurodivergent yourself or walking alongside someone who is, you'll leave with a little more faith that growth is not only possible — it's inevitable, if you're willing to show up and keep planting seeds.
