'Cause I love you more than you could know And your heart, it grows every time it breaks I know that it might sound strange But I wish you pain  - “Wish You Pain” by Andy Grammar   Summary Every parent wants to keep their kids safe, but is it possible to keep them “too safe”?  In this podcast episode we dive into the overwhelming cult of safety-ism, which makes keeping your child from all pain and suffering an idol. Children are really “antifragile” - meaning that they need to have an appropriate amount of stress physically, mentally and emotionally to be able to become resilient.  Over-protecting and keeping kids from physical or emotional pain only makes them more anxious and risk-averse.  We have lots of examples of giving kids freedom, and the results aren't always what you think!  Like so much of parenting, you need to keep in mind the stage of development your child is in to be able to expose them to appropriate risks.  You don't let your 12 yr old wander down a dark alley, but you should let them go into the grocery store alone.  Listen in for some encouragement as well as tips and tricks to not keeping your kids safe, but making them strong!     Key Takeaways Do all you can to keep kids in Discover Mode.  Exploring is what kids do and it will keep them curious and confident. Don't keep them safe, make them strong. Children will get hurt, get sick, get disappointed, cry with frustration…. Because they are human!   Attachment to parents is key to give kids a secure base Fearful parenting keeps kids close too much and for too long Children need play-based childhood.    Couple Discussion Questions How were we raised?  Were we raised in a home that was in Discovery Mode or Defend Mode?  Assess our family right now in light of safety vs. appropriate risk.  How are our children being raised?  What can we do to improve our family's Discovery Mode for the long term benefit of our children?  

On a recent coaching call, we spoke with a new teacher who was feeling great about a math quiz her students had just aced—until she wasn't. The quiz focused on using the array model for multiplication, and students were awarded points for drawing the array and getting the right product. But when we looked deeper, something didn't sit right: Did these scores truly reflect her students' understanding and grade-level expectations? In this episode, we unpack what was missing from the math assessment and why simply getting the “right answer” isn't enough. We explore the importance of strategy sophistication, the difference between additive and multiplicative thinking, and how to design math assessments that actually measure mathematical proficiency.In this episode, you'll discover:High scores don't always mean high levels of understanding in math.Strategy sophistication matters—especially in assessing multiplication.Math assessments should reflect not just answers, but the thinking behind them.Teachers can refine math assessment practices to better capture student growth and proficiency.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

Send me a message.How do we effectively assess knowledge in Design and Technology education? It's a question with surprisingly few research-backed answers, despite its critical importance to teaching practice.I talk about  this assessment gap in the second episode of my sub-series on D&T research. I remind listeners that D&T knowledge encompasses both conceptual understanding ("knowing what") and procedural application ("knowing how"), forming the foundation upon which capability is built.The limited existing research highlights two common assessment approaches: identifying technological objects and materials with justification, and describing product functions while understanding the relationship between form and function. I illustrate this with a propelling pencil example, demonstrating how students need vocabulary to articulate the tension between physical characteristics and functional requirements.Teacher expertise emerges as perhaps the most crucial factor in effective knowledge assessment. Research clearly shows that teachers must possess secure subject content knowledge to design meaningful tests—a challenge in today's educational landscape with fewer specialist D&T teachers. I extend this requirement beyond content knowledge to include pedagogical understanding of assessment methodologies and curricular knowledge about D&T's structure.For classroom application, I explain that formative assessment can be integrated within larger assessments as targeted checkpoints, allowing teachers to identify misconceptions efficiently. Interestingly, research reveals no particular assessment format (multiple-choice, essays, flowcharts) proves superior to others—what matters most is purposeful design aligned with learning goals.Considering your own teaching practice, how might targeted knowledge assessments enhance your students' overall learning? The limited research presents an opportunity for practitioners to contribute to our collective understanding. Share your effective assessment strategies and join the conversation about balancing knowledge assessment with capability development in D&T education.Support the showIf you like the podcast, you can always buy me a coffee to say 'thanks!'Please offer your feedback about the show or ideas for future episodes and topics by connecting with me on Threads @hardy_alison or by emailing me.If you listen to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, please take a moment to rate and/or review the show.

In this episode, Dr. Carolyn Moyers dives into one of the most overlooked yet impactful topics in women's health: low sexual desire. Despite growing recognition of sexual wellbeing as a key part of overall quality of life, sexual concerns are still rarely addressed in clinical settings. Drawing from the ISSWSH Process of Care for Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder (HSDD) and a new 2025 study published in Menopause, Dr. Moyers explores the barriers women face in getting support—and what healthcare providers can do to change that.Nearly 50% of postmenopausal women experience GSM symptoms — yet many suffer in silence. From vaginal dryness to recurrent UTIs and painful sex, these symptoms are chronic, progressive, and treatable.In this episode you will learn:Why sexual health conversations are often missing from routine careHow to use the Decreased Sexual Desire Screener (DSDS) to identify HSDDWhat a targeted physical exam can reveal—think clitoral adhesions, vulvodynia, high-tone pelvic floor dysfunction, and moreMedical and psychological conditions that contribute to low desireHow medications may be sabotaging sexual functionEvidence-based treatment strategies that go beyond “just relax and try wine”Why giving women permission to talk about sex is a clinical skill we all need to practiceISSWSH Process of Care for the Management of Hypoactive Sexual Desire Disorder in Women, published in Mayo Clinic Proceedings, April 2016New study in Menopause (May 2025) exploring physician barriers to addressing sexual concerns in clinical care

In the third and final episode of a podcast series on medical misinformation, nurse practitioners (NPs) Drs. Ruth Carrico and Paula Tucker delve into actionable strategies for building patient trust and addressing misinformation in health care. They emphasize communication frameworks like the 3 Es (Engage, Empathize, Educate), the 5 As (Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, Arrange), motivational interviewing and shared decision-making. These approaches are designed to shift conversations from correction to connection, promoting understanding, empathy and collaboration between providers and patients. Both hosts stress the importance of humility, patient-centered care and adapting communication strategies to different health care settings.

Things are chaotic (by design) so after we start to rebuild internal trust + social trust, we can start to address our own needs, and eventually our community's. Develop boundaries, coping skills, resilience strategies. Grieve, learn to accept reality + then address what is within your control. From there, you can pick a lane. When we try to do too much, we get overwhelmed and don't accomplish half the stuff we could accomplish if we had just picked ONE thing to work on at a time.

We explore the vital intersection of organisational design, leadership culture, and power dynamics with special guest Susannah Robinson, author of Beyond the Boxes and Lines. Zoë kicks off the episode with exciting updates on the Power Games Kickstarter campaign and a groundbreaking Planet Human segment on brain-computer interfaces that enable near real-time speech interpretation for paralysed individuals. Then we dive into the conversation with Susannah, who brings over 30 years of HR and organisational design experience. She shares practical frameworks for rethinking job roles, enhancing collaboration, and resolving structural friction in organisations. Together, we unpack what causes cultural breakdowns, the consequences of poorly implemented matrix structures, and why flatter hierarchies may not be the magic bullet many leaders believe they are.

Culture is the bridge." – Zoë Routh Questions Asked What triggers the need for a redesign of organisational structures? How can job design improve retention and employee engagement? What are the common friction points in team handoffs and collaboration? How do flatter hierarchies shift leadership expectations? What structural patterns lead to power struggles and office politics? How should leaders handle stonewalling behaviour in the workplace? Take Action Audit your structure. When someone leaves, resist the urge to simply refill the role. Ask: could we do this differently? Map job design. Identify overlaps, friction points, and gaps in role clarity especially where handoffs occur. Assess your collaboration culture. Are your incentive systems and tools aligned with teamwork, or unintentionally rewarding lone wolves? Educate your teams. Use visual tools (like “five guys, one piano” teamwork analogy or org charts) to demystify structure and process. Normalise discomfort. Have the hard conversations about misalignment, underperformance, or mismatched roles with compassion and clarity. Tip of the Week Before you flatten your hierarchy or shift to team-based models, first ensure your systems (incentives, tools, contracts) are designed to support that culture. Otherwise, you're simply rearranging the dysfunction.

In the latest episode of the Building Better Developers podcast — part of the Building Better Businesses season — Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche tackle an all-too-common challenge: how to stop chasing your tail when you're overwhelmed. When panic sets in, it's easy to feel trapped and exhausted. But by learning to recognize the signs early and taking small, strategic steps, you can break the cycle and get your progress back on track. Stop Chasing Your Tail: Recognize When You're Stuck Panic usually strikes when we realize we're no longer moving forward. Rob describes this moment as a dog chasing its tail — you suddenly become aware that you're going nowhere, which triggers frustration or fear. Common causes include: Overcommitment and unrealistic expectations Financial stress from unplanned expenses Projects running off course Emotional burnout from constant pressure Callout: “Sometimes the best first step is to simply stop and admit: this isn't working.” — Rob Broadhead Before rushing to fix everything at once, take a moment to breathe. Acknowledge where you are without judgment — it's the first step toward real progress. Reset Your Focus and Stop Chasing Your Tail Once you've caught yourself chasing your tail, the next step is resetting your focus. Michael Meloche shared a simple but powerful process: Assess the Situation: Figure out why you're stuck. Time, money, overcommitment? Identify the actual causes. Set a Realistic Goal: Pick an achievable objective. Make sure it's something you believe you can reach. Take One Step Forward: You don't need to solve everything today. Just move one inch closer to your target. Rob emphasized that panic often prompts us to make bad decisions. Instead, progress happens through small, steady steps, and each small win builds confidence. Pro Tip: If your goal feels overwhelming, break it into even smaller milestones. Take Your First Step: Stop Chasing Your Tail Today The biggest challenge once you're stuck is picking your first step. It doesn't have to be huge — it just needs to be in the right direction. Need to fix your finances? Cancel one small expense today. Overwhelmed with work? Finish one small task you've been avoiding. Stuck in a complicated client relationship? Draft an email to start the conversation. Callout: “Momentum builds when you focus on just one small, positive action at a time.” — Rob Broadhead Even slowing down your tail-chasing a little bit helps. Eventually, you'll regain control, stop spinning, and move purposefully toward your goals. Challenge of the Episode This week's challenge is simple but powerful: If you feel stuck, take just one step forward today. Pause. Breathe. Pick one action that moves you closer to your goal. You'll be amazed how much better you feel once you're driving — even if it's just one small victory.
