Much of modern work is defined by routine, efficiency targets, and the need to appear productive. But how much of it is actually necessary? Dennis Nørmark, Danish anthropologist, author, and speaker, argues that a significant part of today's work culture is built on pseudo-work—tasks that maintain appearances rather than create real value. As the co-author of Pseudo-Work: How We Ended Up Being Busy Doing Nothing, he examines why unnecessary work persists and how it shapes our perception of productivity. In I Wish My Boss Was a Chief, he applies leadership lessons from indigenous cultures to modern management, questioning whether our current systems are as effective as we assume.This conversation explores how unfreedom has become a feature of work and society, limiting personal agency and reinforcing structures of control. Predictions from a century ago suggested that technological progress would reduce working hours, yet most people today work as much as ever. Why has this happened? How do schools, workplaces, and governments encourage dependence rather than autonomy? And what can be done to reclaim control over our time and choices?Key TopicsWhat pseudo-work is and why it persistsHow bureaucracy and control shape modern work cultureThe shift from work as necessity to work as identityWhy predictions of reduced working hours never materializedHow education reinforces compliance rather than independenceRethinking work, freedom, and personal agencyDennis Nørmark challenges assumptions about work and productivity, raising questions about what it means to contribute meaningfully in a system that values busyness over results.

Attachment parenting might sound hard, but honestly, it's a mix of deep connection, big emotions, and hoping coffee can get us throught the day. This week, we're diving into the four pillars: setting boundaries (and sometimes being flexible about them), creating space for vulnerability and big feelings (like crying over the wrong color cup—again), modeling how to meet needs (even if it's just five minutes alone in the bathroom), and embracing patience, because if attachment parenting had a slogan, it'd be, “Breathe through the tantrum, yours and theirs.” Join us for laughs, insights, and practical tips on how these pillars can strengthen your parenting game—chaos and all!Discover your attachment style to break free from old relationship patterns.

Welcome to "Parenting the Intensity!"

Are you unknowingly making THIS critical mistake in your parenting that could be destroying your marriage? Many well-meaning parents who practice attachment-focused parenting fall into the trap of coddling their sensitive child. They save their child from ever experiencing negative emotions. They always put their child's needs above their own and their spouse's. They avoid setting any limits, for fear of upsetting their sensitive child. The result? A co-dependent relationship forms between parent and child... And the marriage starts to crumble under the strain.

I'm so delighted that Kim Cousins came back on the podcast again. Kim was on episode 136 and 176 and I so highly recommend listening to those episodes if you haven't already. Kim is an Aware Parenting instructor who used to work in a perinatal mental health unit and has an abundance of experience of working with mothers and babies and families in general. In this episode, she also shares her own experience with sleep as a mother, with experience of being taught sleep training, then moving to Classical Attachment Parenting, and then to Aware Parenting. We'd love to send so much compassion if you are feeling exhausted and desperate for sleep, and if you have used sleep training. Throughout the episode, we highlight the importance of deep compassion for parents. Please check in with your willingness to listen to this episode, and reach out for listening support if it helps you connect with painful feelings. The focus on this episode is knowing that there really is a third choice, and that parents really don't need to choose between secure attachment and sleep. Kim shares about how when her daughter (who is now 8), was a baby, she slept very little in the day, and Kim had someone visit from a sleep centre to teach some sleep training. Kim shares about how painful the experience was, and how she didn't want to do it afterwards, and thought that she was a failure and that her daughter wasn't sleeping because she was not reading tiredness signs accurately or missing sleep windows. Kim shares about all the pressure and the lack of support that led to a diagnosis of postnatal depression and anxiety. Kim dived into understanding attachment theory, and when her son was born, she practiced Classical Attachment Parenting with him. When he was 12 months old, he was waking lots at night and she decided to do my sleep course. She listened to him crying in her arms for about 45 minutes to an hour and he slept through the whole night! Kim shares moving stories about supporting mothers to listen to their babies crying in arms, and what a difference it makes to receive that kind of support. Kim also talks about the importance of support, our own inner work, and lots more fascinating parts of listening to feelings and the relationship of that with sleep.

I'm grateful to one of my lovely mentees, who requested this episode, where I talk about some of the differences between Aware Parenting and Classical Attachment Parenting (a term created by me and adopted by Aletha Solter, the founder of Aware Parenting). Classical attachment parenting (CAP) refers to the original attachment parenting paradigm, which was first described by William and Martha Sears. The Aware Parenting (AwP) version of attachment parenting has several key differences from this original version. In this episode I talk about: Why people commonly make the change from CAP to AwP (frequent night waking being one of them). The three main differences between CAP and AwP. What people often notice the effects are of moving from CAP to AwP. These effects can include: Babies, toddlers and children sleep more restfully and calmly. If there are two parents, everyone can get their needs more. Clarity about understanding when to offer loving limits and why they're so important. They return to natural gentleness because of expressing healing-feelings. If you want to find out more, I recommend Aletha Solter's books including The Aware Baby and Tears and Tantrums. You can find information about her books at www.awareparenting.com My books, 'The Emotional Life of Babies' and 'I'm Here and I'm Listening" are also available on Amazon. I invite you to sign up for early bird information and my next book about Aware Parenting and sleep here: http://eepurl.com/8ifhn You can find out more about my work at www.marionrose.net You can also find me here: https://www.instagram.com/_marion_rose_/ https://www.instagram.com/awareparenting/ www.facebook.com/MarionRosePhD

Watching my children one lazy afternoon, unburdened by timetables and homework, I was struck by their innate curiosity. We embrace and celebrate this very authenticity in our little ones in our latest podcast episode. With my fellow wise women Carla, Sarah, and Luna, we weave a conversation around the unschooling movement—a radical shift from traditional education that nurtures a child's natural inclination towards learning. We delve into the essence of childhood, free from the assembly line of conventional schooling, where learning rhythms are as unique as each child.Unschooling isn't just an educational choice but a lifestyle reverberating through family dynamics and community interactions. In this podcast, we illustrate the profound autonomy that unschooling can cultivate. Beyond the freedom from a Monday-to-Friday schedule, unschooling challenges us to realign our perspective on what growth and development truly mean—recognizing the inherent brilliance in every child. We explore the societal implications of this shift, envisioning a future where each learning journey's uniqueness is respected and cherished.Yet, this path is not without its obstacles. The art of unschooling requires parents to shed layers of ingrained educational paradigms—a process we refer to as 'deschooling'. Our discussion touches on the challenges of navigating family life when traditional parenting scripts are set aside. From redefining 'talking back' to simply 'talking' to the deep bonds formed through natural authority, we share our experiences of reshaping family dynamics. As we wrap up our episode, we leave our listeners contemplating the diversity within the unschooling community, encouraging a future of education crafted through trust, autonomy, and the individual brilliance of each child.

Jesper Conrad and Martin Cooke have started The Better Dad Institute. This episode is the first of their podcast series, which is simply called 'Better Dad Podcast.'The goal is to explore topics together, daring to be vulnerable and sharing. A Podcast version of what goes on in The Better Dad Circles.Details about this episode:As a father, I've often found myself locked in a silent battle over who's right, especially with my kids. My co-host Martin and I tackle a struggle head-on, sharing our personal experiences with parenting conflicts and our pursuit of growth beyond the need to 'win.' We peel back the layers on handling arguments as I confess the lessons learned from my psychologist wife's techniques in conflict de-escalation. Together, we navigate the rough waters of family dynamics, offering insights on how to turn heated moments into opportunities for deeper connection and understanding.Parenthood thrusts you into an arena where every day is a learning experience; this episode is no exception.  We reflect on the courage it takes to be vulnerable with our children, revealing how this openness can repair and strengthen the parent-child bond. Sharing our traditions and engaging in interests alongside our kids pave the way for a more harmonious family life.

We explore practical strategies for nurturing our children's natural curiosity and love of learning. Together with my three friends—Sarah Bealel, Carla Martinez, and Luna Maj Vestergaard, we get hands-on, shedding light on how unschooling unfolds in daily life. We share insights into how children learn to read without formal lessons and discuss parents' vital role as facilitators rather than traditional teachers, providing an environment rich with opportunities for self-directed learning.Listen in as we examine the evolving landscape of children's education, from the significance of play in early childhood to the transition towards more structured pursuits as they grow. We reflect on how our roles as parents adapt to support our kids' changing needs and learning styles. Discover how embracing flexibility and trust in the unschooling process allows for diverse learning experiences, from gaming and travel to real-world projects that teach traditional subjects like world history and mathematics in unconventional yet profoundly effective ways.We celebrate the personalized educational paths unschooled children take. Acknowledge the self-directed nature of their learning, which empowers them to make choices that align with their life goals and interests. Whether your child is drawn to academic subjects or alternative pursuits, this episode reassures you that unschooling is about respecting each child's unique journey, encouraging their innate capacity for reflection, and supporting them as they navigate their way through the rich landscape of knowledge and skills they choose to explore.

In today's episode, I spoke with Seth Allison, a licensed clinical professional counselor and founder of the Grow Collective, a growth-focused collective of psychologists. We spoke about his latest conversation with John Vervaeke and the unique perspectives he shared there about attachment and relationality. We dove into attachment theory, how humans are built for connection, and the visceral experience of being loved and seen by an intimate other. Seth has a very nuanced perspective on attachment, and we explored what happens when the early attachment relationship between parent and child is disrupted, and whether we should regard our attachment style as a lifetime diagnosis. We spoke about monogamy, Sue Johnson's Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) for couples, and why conflicts between couples tend to be so explosive. We explored Sue's idea of primary and secondary emotions, and how in most fights, we often use anger to mask how terrified we are of being abandoned by our partner. Towards the end of our conversation, we spoke about intergenerational trauma, how insecure attachment is often passed down from generation to generation, and what we need to do to break the cycle. We discussed the role of warfare in the perpetuation of insecure attachment and I shared my newfound understanding of grief. Ultimately, the price of love and attachment is the pain and grief of loss. I hope you enjoy this episode. Seth and I will be recording another episode where we plan on exploring Internal Family Systems (IFS) and Jung. Let us know in the comments below if there are any questions you'd like us to answer in the next episode

Have you ever considered that societal norms and structures may be limiting your autonomy? Join Cecilie, Carla, Luna, and Sarah, when they challenge these conventions and explore the empowering nature of leading a values-based life. We discuss how unschooling - a deviation from the norm, sparks enlightening conversations and insights. We thoroughly investigate how our values, culture, and upbringing guide our decision-making and how these elements influence our ability to make unconventional choices.We venture into the concept of individual sovereignty, questioning how external influences shape our choices and how awareness of these influences can empower us to live authentically. We approach the topic of parenting from a different angle, exploring how we, as parents play a role in shaping our children's empowerment. We discuss the balance between guidance and freedom and how it impacts our children's development.Transitioning from traditional schooling to unschooling can be a daunting process. We engage in a candid discussion about the courage and challenges inherent in this transition. We share insights on how to create an environment of freedom in making life decisions and how questioning the established rules can pave the way to personal freedom. Listen in as we explore these thought-provoking subjects and take responsibility for our own education and that of our children.

In this podcast I gave a shout out to some of my favorite people, namely, librarians, Mr. Rogers and child life specialists!

Welcome back to "Parenting the Intensity!"In this episode, we are having an insightful conversation with sleep coach, Meredith Brough, on the latest episode of Parenting the Intensity podcast. We dive deep into the challenges of sleep for parents, especially when it comes to emotionally intense children. If you're a parent struggling with sleep challenges with your emotionally intense children, this episode is a must-listen!Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode:1️⃣ Recognize that every child has unique sleep needs: There is no one-size-fits-all approach to parenting, especially when it comes to sleep. Children have different needs and personalities, and it's crucial to understand and support their individual development. Embrace the fact that your child's sleep patterns may be different from others, and focus on finding what works best for them.2️⃣ Foster independence with love and understanding: While different parenting approaches have their merits, it's important to find a middle ground that respects both the baby's needs and the mother's needs. Foster your child's independence in a healthy way that is tailored to their readiness, while still providing the love, comfort, and connection they need.3️⃣ Prioritize parent and child well-being: Meredith approach is centered on the child well-being, but that also includes the parent well-being as exhausted parents will find it difficult to be their best for their children, so she's suggesting a way to reconcile the needs of everyone while sleeping better!"But also, there's that pressure of comparing your child to another, thinking it's all on you,thinking that you're the one responsible for their progress and for them to perform well..."Resources referenced by MeredithHighly sensitive Family - Natalie BrunswickNeuro-Sensory Based Parenting - Brooke WeinsteinWhere to find MeredithWebsite - Code "Intensity" will give you 10% off on Meredith's offersPodcast Sweet LumberFacebookInstagramShow notes and transcript of the episode over hereMake sure to subscribe to our podcast for future episodes and leave a rating and review, that helps us get in front of more parents.

H: You know, parenting styles are like ice cream flavors. Everyone has their favorite, and no one really agrees on which one is the best. But the good news is, there's no one-size-fits-all when it comes to parenting. So, let's explore a few different scoops of parenting styles and see which one tickles your taste buds.H: First up, we have "Attachment Parenting." It's like the gelato of parenting styles - sweet, warm, and oh-so-intimate. Attachment parenting is all about forming a close emotional bond with your child. You're like Batman and Robin, inseparable! But, just like gelato, it can get a bit sticky at times. Critics say attachment parenting might make your child a bit too clingy.H: On the other hand, we've got "Authoritative Parenting." This is like the classic vanilla ice cream of parenting styles - a solid choice. It's all about setting clear rules and expectations while still being warm and loving. Think of it as adding some rainbow sprinkles of discipline. But beware, too much vanilla can get a bit boring, and too many sprinkles can be overwhelming.H: "Permissive Parenting" is the triple-scoop sundae of parenting styles. It's all about saying "yes" more than "no" and letting your child explore life without many restrictions. Your kid gets the cherry on top! But, as any ice cream aficionado will tell you, too many toppings can lead to a bellyache. Critics argue that permissive parenting may lead to spoiled children.H: "Authoritarian Parenting" is like eating broccoli ice cream – not really ice cream at all! It's all about strict rules and high expectations. Your kid will definitely know the difference between right and wrong, but it might not be the most fun flavor. Too much of this, and you might be facing a rebellion worthy of a superhero origin story.H: And then there's "Helicopter Parenting." Think of it as the whipped cream and chocolate syrup on your ice cream. They're always there, hovering, ready to swoop in at any moment. Helicopter parents are like your own personal entourage. But, just like too much whipped cream, it can smother the joy out of any ice cream cone.H: Alright, let's not forget "Free-Range Parenting." It's like going to an ice cream shop with endless options. Free-range parents allow their children to explore the world with minimal hovering. They're all about independence and self-discovery, like trying all the flavors at an ice cream parlor. However, just like too many choices can lead to decision fatigue, critics worry that this style might not provide enough structure.H: So, what's the scoop? The truth is, no one style is perfect, just like no single ice cream flavor can satisfy all your cravings. The best approach is a bit like making a banana split, taking a little from each flavor to create your own unique blend that works for you and your family.H: Thanks for joining us on this flavorful journey through parenting styles. Remember, there's no one right way to parent, and what works best for you is like your own secret recipe. Until next time, keep parenting with a spoonful of love, a dash of patience, and a sprinkling of humor.

I've mentioned secure attachment in several previous episodes. We sometimes lump this very scientific concept under general terms like having a “good relationship” or “strong connection” with our kids and teens. This concept of secure attachment is the basis for these more general terms. It's about first understanding and then meeting our kids', teens' and tweens' needs. If we don't meet those needs, we see dysregulation,  anxiety, depression, mistrust, etc. In today's episode I talk to Laurie A. Couture, a licensed mental health counselor, child trauma specialist, child advocate and author. Laurie drives home the concept of secure attachment and how unmet needs and trauma (small and large) can lead to insecure attachment with your teen…and how you can repair it.

Parental alienation is a real thing. It's not as simple as one parent trying to turn a child against the other. It involves a variety of factors that can exist in any given family, including the children's reactions to their situation. Sadly, parents who struggle with children rejecting them often do so in private.However, when parents learn to express empathy through validating their children's feelings, it can start to reconnect them emotionally and create safety to repair the relationship.As a reunification/conjoint family therapist, Cathy Himlin believes the key is a child-centered approach, focusing on the child's emotional perspective.Cathy Himlin, LMFT, LPCC is a sought after expert supporting child-focused parenting and legal professionals in high conflict cases. She's the President and CEO of Family Connections Therapy and Founder of Himlin Consulting.During this episode, we dive into how the courts traumatize families and make the situations worse, additional reasons for children rejecting their parents and how parents can positively influence this through learning new methods of communication and understanding the child's viewpoint and how parental alienation is not so black and white. Cathy wants to bring parents hope that there are other ways to deal with children rejecting them vs. fighting it out in the courtroom.Reach out to Cathy Himilin:LInkedIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cathy-himlin-lmft-lpcc-9aaa0079/Email: cathy@himlinconsulting.comWebsite: Himlinconsulting.com************************Allow us to introduce your hosts, Mick Smith and Kindra Riber, who are fervently fighting to put an end to the excruciating pain caused by divorce, parental alienation, custody battles, and the disintegration of families.

In this week's episode I'm talking to someone I met on last year's Thrutopia Masterclass: someone who was there to explore and share ideas about how we might get through to that flourishing future we'd be proud to leave behind. Elisa Rathje is an artist, a filmmaker, a podcaster, a writer, an unschooling parent - and a homesteader whose life is an expression of her philosophy that we need to live closer to, and in harmony with, the land. She and her family farm one and a half acres on Saltspring Island off the west coast of Canada between Vancouver and Vancouver island where she makes her appleturnover TV channel for Youtube, with short films showing the ways she's rediscovering, or in some cases, creating anew, ways to grow and thrive on and with the land. We've had some pretty hardcore conversations recently on the podcast, and I thought it was time for something inspiring, less of how we fix the broken structures at national level, and more how we can each live different lives, tell ourselves different stories of who we are and how we are... get into the detail of composting toilets and community buses and how to keep chickens and geese and sort the water... all the things we're really going to need to learn, or relearn or otherwise bring into being as we shift forward into the small farm future that Chris Smaje was talking about last week. So this is a regenerative episode, about regenerating our souls as we heal the land. appleturnover TV https://appleturnover.tv/The Journal of Small Work https://appleturnover.tv/farm/journal/Miraculous Abundance https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/miraculous-abundance-one-quarter-acre-two-french-farmers-and-enough-food-to-feed-the-world-perrine-herve-gruyer/1935503?ean=9781603586429Feminism and the Mastery of Nature https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/feminism-and-the-mastery-of-nature-val-plumwood/825976?ean=9780415068109Attachment Parenting https://attachmentparenting.co.uk/Hold onto your kids by Gordon Neufeld and Gabor Mate https://uk.bookshop.org/p/books/hold-on-to-your-kids-why-parents-need-to-matter-more-than-peers-gabor-mate/739814?ean=9781785042195
