The Royal Society for Blind Children has launched a new campaign called Bedtime Donations, and its aim is to generate better provision of audiobooks for visually impaired children. The idea is that people can record themselves reading children's stories into an app, where it will be published and be accessible to visually impaired children. The Society's aim is to develop the largest free service of children's audiobooks. The Imperial College Healthcare NHS Trust are calling for visually impaired people's experiences of how they received psychological support throughout their healthcare pathway. The Trust are aiming to improve provisions of psychological services that patients receive, following a diagnosis of an eye condition, and thereafter.

All new! This first episode of The Good Eggs has been revised and remastered with an extended storyline! Welcome to The Good Eggs, a storytime channel filled with love, laughter, and learning!
Buckle up, because this Ask, Tell, Confess episode goes from zero to WTF real quick. We're swapping personal stories that range from a dude dropping a deuce in a closet (yes, you read that right) to a woman who deserves an Oscar for her “fake it ‘til you make it” routine. The crew dives into drunken disasters, wild bedroom escapades, and the ever-elusive orgasm.But it's not all laughs—things get real as we talk women's health, from hysterectomies to ablations, and why advocating for yourself at the doctor's office is non-negotiable. We wrap it all up with a chat about ethics, personal growth, and just how messy (and hilarious) life can be.Watch Full Episodes & More:www.dumbblondeunrated.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
In this solo episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I'm talking directly to you, the fathers, about stepping up as school is back in session. Life gets busier with drop-offs, homework, sports, and late-night routines, but this season also gives us new opportunities to lead and connect with our families in meaningful ways. I share three powerful strategies for creating deeper bonds at home: owning one routine with your kids, maximizing “connection cues” during daily transitions, and holding a weekly huddle with your wife to reduce stress and strengthen your marriage. If you're feeling overwhelmed by the chaos of the school year, this episode will help you find clarity, lead intentionally, and make sure your family thrives instead of drifts. TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome to the Dad Edge movement and back-to-school chaos [1:02] - Kids' homework struggles and funny math frustrations [2:21] - A message for kids listening in the car: your dad loves you deeply [3:44] - Why most dads want to succeed—not fail—in fatherhood [4:26] - Transitioning from summer to school as a leadership opportunity [5:21] - Balancing school, sports, homework, and family commitments [6:20] - Reflections on August episodes with Jessica and the power of marriage conversations [7:53] - Strategy #1: Own one routine (breakfast, bedtime, school prep, homework help) [9:32] - Reducing invisible labor for your wife by owning key tasks [10:23] - Why bedtime routines are gold for connection (even if you're exhausted) [11:31] - Asking open-ended questions that spark real conversations [12:57] - Adapting routines for different kids' personalities and needs [14:41] - Bedtime as a place of safety, vulnerability, and connection [15:21] - Strategy #2: Connection cues in car rides, drop-offs, and pickups [16:18] - Side-by-side conversations and the power of turning off the radio [17:05] - Strategy #3: Weekly huddle with your wife (planning + intimacy) [18:19] - Reducing stress by clarifying who owns which tasks at home [19:39] - Using weekly huddles as both a planning and intimacy tool [20:31] - Free weekly huddle resource (coming soon) [20:53] - Tools for protecting kids online with Bark (sponsor) [21:52] - Closing encouragement and reminder of available resources 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Own One Routine Whether it's bedtime, breakfast, or homework, fathers who fully own one routine lighten their wife's mental load while deepening connection with their kids. 2. Bedtime Is Golden Even when you're exhausted, bedtime is a unique opportunity for authenticity and safety. One open-ended question can spark conversations that matter. 3. Connection Cues Matter Car rides, drop-offs, and side-by-side moments are often when kids open up most. Turning off the radio and asking thoughtful questions makes a difference. 4. Weekly Huddles Reduce Stress A short check-in with your wife about what's working, what's draining, and what needs adjusting creates alignment and strengthens intimacy. 5. Leadership Is About Presence, Not Perfection You don't need to do everything—you just need to be intentional with what you choose to own. Presence, clarity, and consistency are what families need most.

Are you winning at work but losing at home? In today's world of constant pings, buzzing watches, and never-ending to-do lists, it's easier than ever to live distracted. But here's the truth: our relationships are paying the price.In this solo episode, I'm sharing a vulnerable confession of how I've fallen into the trap of being half-present—scrolling my phone in the middle of conversations, multitasking while my kids are talking to me, and letting my most valuable relationships get only the leftovers of my attention.But everything shifted on a recent trip with my daughter Faith. By choosing to put the phone away and focus on quality time—not just quantity—I was reminded how powerful presence really is. From bedtime conversations with my son to coffee with friends, I've realized that the “gold” in life isn't achievement, it's connection.We'll talk about:Why presence matters more than productivityHow distraction is quietly eroding our marriages, families, and friendshipsSimple habits to retrain your brain for focused attentionWhy quality time always beats quantity timeHow 15 minutes of undivided presence can transform a relationshipIf you've been feeling disconnected, lonely, or overwhelmed by constant distraction, this episode is your reminder: it's not too late. Start small. Put the phone down. Make eye contact. Give your full attention. The people you love will feel the difference—and so will you.Connect With Us:Website: https://www.youaremore.comFree Download: 5 Steps to Win Through AdversitySocial Media: Follow us on Facebook and InstagramEmail: amy@amywienands.comEpisode Minute By Minute:00:00 – Are you winning at work but losing at home?01:00 – The New York trip with Faith: choosing presence03:00 – How distraction shows up in daily life05:00 – Sitting on my phone at a Broadway play (true confession)07:00 – Bedtime moments with Foster: why they matter more than work09:00 – Why quality time beats quantity time10:00 – The loneliness of a distracted world12:00 – Small habits that retrain your brain for presence14:00 – Stories of walking, talking, and putting technology aside16:00 – Why our phones are more addictive than we realize18:00 – Leaders and entrepreneurs: the Achilles heel of distraction19:00 – Challenge: 15 minutes of undistracted presence20:00 – Final encouragement: Presence is the real winBe intentional, stay focused, and remember you are more!

If you're concerned about an advert you hear, please contact the platform you are listening to directly. Spotify, in particular, has proven problematic in the past, for both inappropriate adverts and the volume at which the adverts play.

Parenting doesn't just test your patience, it tests your marriage. In this raw, unfiltered conversation, Kristin and Tyler pull back the curtain on what it really looks like to raise kids, navigate a neurodivergent household, and still fight to stay connected as partners. They share the three shifts that have truly transformed their relationship, from continually , to choosing laughter in the hardest moments.And they don't stop there. They get honest about the two biggest things they are actively working on every single day - because in the messy, chaotic middle, it takes *work* to keep a marriage from crumbling. If you've ever thought, “Are we the only ones struggling?” - you're not. This episode is proof that repair matters more than perfect, and that even in the chaos, love can grow deeper when you do the work together.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

For years, I thought “routine” was the secret to success. Morning routine. Workout routine. Bedtime routine. I tracked them, tweaked them, and optimized them. And for a while, they worked. But somewhere in midlife, those routines started to feel… stale. Restrictive. Like another box to check on an endless list.
