Podcasts about Behavior

Every parent of a teen has asked some version of this: Is this normal teenage behavior, or is something actually wrong? This week I go under your teen's closed door, attitude, screens, and secrecy. What's driving all of it is belonging, significance, and the private logic your kiddo is writing in real time. I share four questions that tell you where the trouble actually lives, honest signs that it's more than a season, and a three-step practice you can use tonight.

Your child's preschool number shows up on your caller ID, and your stomach drops before you even answer. Preschool never calls with good news. Your kid hit someone at the sand table, or kicked a friend in line for the bathroom, and now you're standing there wondering if you have to call another parent and apologize, and whether this is the start of your kid becoming the one nobody wants to play with. The conversation you have that night probably isn't the first one. You remind your child that we keep our hands to ourselves. Maybe there's an early bedtime attached this time, to show them you mean it. Then the same thing happens again the next week, and you start to wonder what you're missing. In this episode, I walk through what's actually driving hitting, biting, and kicking at preschool, both for kids who are dealing with a classroom that controls almost everything about their body for the first time, and for teachers managing a room of 20 kids with their own competing pressures. I share what happened when a child hit a teacher after being physically moved into circle time, and a moment from my own daughter's classroom where a nap-time standoff got resolved without anyone losing. By the end, you'll have a different question to ask than "how do I get the hitting to stop." Questions this episode will answer Is it normal for preschoolers to hit? Hitting, biting, and kicking are common at this age, especially once a child spends most of the day in a classroom where someone else controls when they sit, move, and talk. That loss of control is often what's underneath the hitting for three and four year olds. How do I stop my 4 year old from hitting at school? Repeating "hitting isn't okay" rarely works, because most kids already know that before the conversation happens. Look instead at what happened right before the hit, and what was building up earlier in the day. What are some common behavior problems that 4-year-olds experience in school? Hitting, biting, and kicking often show up around transitions, circle time, and group activities, the exact moments where a child has the least say over their own body. How to deal with challenging behaviors in preschool? Instead of treating the behavior itself as the problem to fix, it helps to look at what a child's body and day were signaling right before it happened, including sensory overwhelm and a loss of autonomy. How to handle disruptive behavior in the preschool classroom? For teachers managing a full room, a child's need can often be met alongside a teacher's own needs for competence, ease, and keeping kids safe, without one side having to lose. How to manage behavior in preschool? The better starting question isn't how to get the behavior to stop. It's what's happening in a child's body and day that leads them there, for parents and teachers both. What you'll learn in this episode Why a preschool classroom is often the first place in a child's life where an adult besides a parent controls almost everything about their body, and why that loss of autonomy can come out as hitting or kickingThe story behind a child who hit a teacher during circle time, and what came out only after the fact about what led to itHow to tell whether a child's hitting or kicking is coming from a sensory issue, an autonomy issue, or something else, and how that changes what actually helpsWhat teachers are usually working to protect when they enforce rules like Circle Time, including their own needs for competence, ease, and children's safetyHow I worked out a nap-time standoff with my own daughter's preschool that met her needs and her teachers' needs at the same timeA different question to ask instead of "how do I get this behavior to stop" Behavior is a signal - here's how to work with it You already have the instinct to look past the hitting or kicking and ask what's underneath it. What the Stop the Behavior Battles Masterclass adds is a repeatable way to find the answer in the moment, when your kid is already mid-meltdown and you don't have time to think it through from scratch. That's the whole method: four steps you can walk through with your own kid's situation, the same four steps you'll watch a real parent named Clarice apply to her own son's toy pickup standoff. Practice it enough times, and it starts to happen without you needing to stop and think through each step. When you enroll, you'll also get a 20-minute coaching session with Denise, our community manager and a credentialed coach, to help you narrow down the strategies most likely to work for your specific kid. And you'll get an invitation to a live call with me on September 16, where I'll share one of my own worst parenting moments and coach live on the spot.

Why spelled communication is not a guessing game:   Dr. Vaish Sarathy speaks with David Kaufer, founder of Communicators for Communication Rights and host of The Lighter Side of the Spectrum, about motor-based typing, the realities of apraxia, and why presumed incompetence blocks education.   Access to communication is the foundation for age-appropriate, intellectually rich education.   David shares the journey with his son Stone, including school resistance, the harmful use of the message passing test, and how access to supported spelling changed Stone's educational path.   They also discuss trauma, regulation, the role of communication partners, and why family persistence matters.   4:05 — Why Message passing tests don't work 25:28 — Non-speaking doesn't mean non-thinking 25:55 — Behavior and Non Speakers 26:45 — The Myths! 29:44 — Why AAC on Ipads don't always work for everyone     "We don't force neurotypical people to pass lie detector tests before they take a test."

Stimulating foods loaded in sugar and carbs are everywhere, and especially advertised to our children. These foods cause spikes and dips in glucose which result in an adrenal response. This transforms nervous systems and brain chemistry, negatively impacting dopamine levels. Sometimes we call the result a tantrum, shutting down, or an inability to concentrate. We can change so much about a kid's, or our own, lifestyle, but without a balanced diet the brain chemicals needed to focus and connect are simply not available. Luis drops his favorite balancing food options and his four favorite snacks to resource our kids, or ourselves. Chocolate is featured in one option. This is balance at its yummiest. You can watch the episode where Luis presents his glucose chart here: https://youtu.be/Y0YNZgXO1PEYou can register for the Embodied Parenting webinar here: https://hln.thinkific.com/courses/embodied-parenting-webinarYou can also read more about, and register for, the 6 month program here: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/parenting-group You can read more about, and register for, the workshop at Kripalu here: https://kripalu.org/experiences/food-therapy-how-eat-your-nervous-system----You can learn more on the website: https://www.holisticlifenavigation.com/You can follow Luis on Instagram @holistic.life.navigationQuestions?

Officer Wayne James studied criminal justice and psychology in college, always knew he wanted to work in law enforcement, and has spent four years as a correction officer at Nassau County Correctional Center — building a firsthand understanding of prison politics, inmate behavior, and the specific daily reality of what life inside a county correctional facility actually looks like from the officer managing it. In this episode of Locked In with Ian Bick, he shares what his upbringing gave him that protected him from going down the wrong path, what working inside Nassau County Jail really looks like, what prison politics and the culture behind slashings actually involve, what the difference between working with male and female inmates actually requires of an officer, and what building genuine respect from inmates actually looks like from the person who has to do it every single shift. _____________________________________________ #correctionalofficers #nassaucounty #truecrimestories #prisonguard _____________________________________________ Connect with Wayne James: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/officer_waynejames/ Buy his Book: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Perception-Wayne-Daion-James/dp/B0H2X48VBT?tag=smgglusdsadts-20&ref=&adgrpid=195855865845&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvadid=812900394363&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=2786760930931149643&hvqmt=a&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9016137&hvtargid=kwl-2484167636399&hvext=373771806062&hvcampaign=23946688003&hydadcr=17332_13842016_2502554&mcid=&hvocijid=2786760930931149643--&hvexpln=0&language=en_US _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to Officer Wayne James 00:33 Growing Up in a Two-Parent Household 01:47 Martial Arts and Discipline 02:17 The Importance of Structure 02:58 Early Dream of Law Enforcement 04:07 Degrees in Sociology and Pre-Law 05:48 Applying Education on the Job 07:14 Balancing Professional Distance and Respect 08:38 Sharing Personal Background with Inmates 10:32 The No-Snitching Trap 13:02 Defining Snitching vs. Self-Preservation 14:56 The Cost of Not Taking a Deal 15:56 Discovering Snitches in Jail 16:29 Path to Corrections 17:24 Starting at Age 28 18:52 Nassau County Correctional Facility Overview 20:55 One Person Per Cell Policy 21:00 Safety Benefits of Single Cells 23:26 Countering the Buddy System Argument 25:16 Classification Issues in Prisons 27:21 Building More Prisons vs. Reform 28:29 Open Dorms and Gladiator School 29:51 The Culture of Slashing 31:05 Prison Politics and Rules 33:31 Psychology of Claiming Phones 34:18 Why Not More Phones? 36:34 Awaiting Trial and Conviction Rates 37:31 Court Accuracy in Bail Decisions 38:56 Genuinely Bad People 39:59 Encounter with an MS-13 Leader 41:21 Interacting with Violent Offenders 42:24 Fear and Self-Defense 43:52 Officers Killed by Inmates 45:07 Power Trips and Bad Officers 47:44 Female Officers Supervising Males 50:55 Female Inmate Charges and Behavior 52:00 Evil in Women vs. Men 53:39 Wrongful Convictions and Evil Acts 54:13 Central Park Five and Prison Trauma 55:29 Shower Safety and Surveillance 56:33 Need for Standardized Prison Operations 58:03 Overtime and Officer Safety 59:04 Why Not Hire More Staff? 59:55 Pay and Overtime Addiction 01:01:19 Consequences of Refusing Overtime 01:01:44 Notable Inmates: Nicki Minaj's Brother and Fentanyl King 01:03:43 Respectful Dangerous Inmates 01:05:11 Sharing Meals with Inmates 01:07:12 Chess and Double Homicide 01:08:31 Everyone Is One Accusation Away 01:10:45 Talented Inmates and Narrow Minds 01:13:30 Learned Helplessness and the Doll Test 01:15:45 Historical Oppression and Inferiority 01:16:50 Parenting as the Root Solution 01:18:12 Challenges of Single Parenting 01:20:15 Leaving Corrections for Policing 01:21:47 Inmate vs. Incarcerated Individual 01:24:29 Parenting as the Overall Solution 01:25:59 Should Police Work Corrections First? 01:27:43 Final Thoughts and Book Promotion _____________________________________________ To advertise on the show, contact sales@advertisecast.com or visit https://advertising.libsyn.com/LockedInWithIanBicka

Lance Wright is an Addiction Recovery Specialist, TEDx speaker, author, and founder of Life Over Addiction. With more than three decades of personal recovery experience and years working professionally in behavioral health, Lance helps individuals, families, and working professionals navigate addiction, stress, identity, and personal transformation.Through his concept of “Thought Addiction,” Lance explores how deeply rooted narratives, beliefs, and emotional conditioning can influence behavior. His work helps people reconnect with purpose, resilience, and lasting change through awareness, neuroplasticity-based practices, and honest human connection.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy welcome Lance Wright for a powerful conversation about high performance, addiction, validation, and the internal pressures many sales professionals carry.Lance shares his extraordinary journey from addiction and incarceration to recovery and transformation, along with the lessons that helped him rebuild his life.The conversation also examines a form of addiction that can easily hide behind professional success: the constant chase for validation. The next sale, ranking, award, or big win may provide a temporary high—but what happens when your sense of worth depends on achieving the next one?Lance challenges sales professionals to separate who they are from what they achieve, recognize unhealthy coping patterns, and have the courage to seek support before those patterns become destructive.Ultimately, this conversation is a reminder that sustainable success begins on the inside.KEY TAKEAWAYSYour performance is not your identity. Sales results change. Your sense of worth cannot depend entirely on quotas, rankings, or recognition.Validation can become a chase. The emotional high of winning fades quickly when achievement becomes the primary source of fulfillment.Pressure can reveal deeper beliefs. Rejection and uncertainty can expose fears around failure, inadequacy, perfectionism, and acceptance.Unhealthy coping patterns can develop gradually. Behaviors used to escape stress or emotional discomfort can become increasingly difficult to control.Authenticity goes deeper than professional success. Knowing who you are apart from your achievements creates a stronger foundation.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESThe win isn't the real thing, it's the chase, it's the hunt.How do I not use my profession as a casino?I don't need your validation. I know who I am.I didn't have that thought. I was taught that thought.The mirror never lies. Only the person looking into the mirror lies.ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

Is your child's behavior really about who they are — or is it about where you've put them?  In this episode, Dr. Aliza Pressman sits down with Dr. Angela Duckworth, bestselling author of Grit, MacArthur "Genius" Grant winner, and University of Pennsylvania psychologist, to unpack her powerful new book, Situated. Together they explore why the "fundamental attribution error" causes so many parents to blame a child's character when the real culprit is the situation around them — and why editing that situation, from where you keep your phone to which zip code you live in, is one of the most effective child development strategies parents actually have. What you'll learn: Why the "fundamental attribution error" makes parents misjudge their kids' behavior The "3-foot rule": how personal space and phone placement quietly drive academic performance Practical ways to build self-control in kids without relying on willpower alone How intentionally choosing a neighborhood or school shapes peer influence and character The powerful role of mentors, coaches, and teachers as "surrogate parents" Modeling behavior: what your kids are really learning by watching you

Your brain is wired for quick hits of dopamine, or high-reward, low-effort habits that feel good in the moment but sabotage your long-term goals. Over time, this conditions your brain to expect rewards without effort, making real change feel harder than it actually is. In this episode, I'll explain how these patterns destroy motivation, fuel inconsistent effort, and keep you stuck in the cycle of short bursts of change followed by slinking back to your old ways. You'll learn how high dopamine, low effort behaviors impact the brain, how this makes us resistant to putting in effort, and 3 ways you may be making being sober feel more difficult for yourself than it needs to be- and how to shift that.

Today, I'm breaking down what makes people actually follow through on the standards you set. Clear communication matters, but it only becomes effective when people understand the outcomes, incentives, and accountability connected to their actions. Without those, what you call an expectation may be nothing more than a suggestion. Show Notes: [08:25]#1 Standards require enforcement. [12:34]#2 Behavior follows incentives. [19:49]#3 Accountability depends on consequences. [22:55] Recap Next Steps: --- Execution is not a talent.   It is a standard. If your results don't match your ability, something in your approach is out of alignment. Most people do not have a motivation problem.   They have a consistency problem.

I think there is this idea that when you forgive someone, part of that is letting them back in. Like forgiveness automatically means reconciliation. Like because you let go of the anger, they get their old access back. And I think that is one of the biggest misunderstandings about forgiveness. Because I can forgive you and still not trust you. I can wish you well and still not want you in my space. Those things are not contradictions. That is clarity. Forgiveness, for me, is about releasing what I no longer want to carry. The anger. The resentment. The replaying. But forgiveness does not delete the data. I still remember what you showed me. I still remember what happened. I still get to make decisions based on that information. And if nothing has changed, giving someone access again is sometimes just giving them another opportunity to do the exact same thing. So today we are talking about how to forgive without reopening doors that need to stay closed. How to release resentment without abandoning your boundaries. And I think learning the difference between forgiveness and access is one of the most important lessons there is when it comes to protecting your peace. FORGIVENESS AND RECONCILIATION ARE TWO DIFFERENT THINGS I think this is where so many people get confused. Forgiveness is internal. Reconciliation is relational. Forgiveness is something you can choose by yourself. Reconciliation requires two people. You can decide: "I am done being angry about this." "I am done letting this take up space in my mind." "I am done wishing things were different." "I am going to move forward." None of that requires you to restore the relationship. Reconciliation requires rebuilding. It requires accountability. Change. Consistency. Trust. Effort. Time. And sometimes, even after all of those things, you may still decide that the relationship is better left in the past. Forgiveness does not automatically create an obligation to reconnect. FORGIVING SOMEONE DOESN'T DELETE THE DATA I love this idea: Forgiving you doesn't delete the data. Because sometimes we treat forgiveness like we are supposed to suddenly become forgetful. But experiences give us information. If someone lied repeatedly, that is information. If someone betrayed your confidence, that is information. If someone consistently disrespected your boundaries, that is information. If being around somebody repeatedly left you anxious, depleted, insecure or confused, that is information. You don't have to be angry about the information in order to use it. That is such an important distinction. You can say: "I'm not mad anymore. But now I know." That is wisdom. You don't need to keep touching the stove just because you forgave it for burning you. You learned. And learning is supposed to change your behavior. FORGIVENESS IS NOT THE SAME THING AS TRUST This is another huge one. You can forgive somebody and still not trust them. Because forgiveness can happen in a moment. Trust is built through behavior. Trust is evidence. Trust is repetition. Trust is somebody consistently showing you: "My words and actions match." "I respect your boundaries." "I take responsibility when I hurt you." "I have actually changed." You do not owe somebody instant trust because they apologized. And you definitely don't owe them trust simply because you decided to forgive them. You can forgive freely. Trust should be earned. ACCESS SHOULD BE EARNED Not everyone deserves the same level of access to you. I think we need to normalize this. There are levels. Someone can be somebody you care about but don't confide in. Someone can be somebody you are cordial with but don't spend time alone with. Someone can be somebody you love but know you cannot have an emotionally close relationship with. Someone can be somebody you forgive from a very large distance. Access is not a punishment. Access is a boundary. Your time is access. Your home is access. Your children are access. Your private thoughts are access. Your energy is access. Your vulnerable moments are access. Those things should not be automatically available to everyone. Especially someone who has already shown you they cannot handle that access responsibly. YOU CAN WISH SOMEONE WELL FROM FAR AWAY This is where people think boundaries somehow mean hate. They don't. You can genuinely hope somebody has a beautiful life. You can hope they heal. You can hope they grow. You can pray for them. You can celebrate something good happening to them. And still say: "I do not want to participate in your life anymore." Those things are not contradictions. You do not have to hate somebody in order to leave. Sometimes you leave because you finally stopped hating them. You stopped fighting. Stopped trying to prove your point. Stopped trying to make them understand. Stopped trying to get the apology. And you simply accepted reality. THE GOAL OF FORGIVENESS ISN'T TO GET THE RELATIONSHIP BACK Sometimes the goal is just peace. That's it. Not closure from them. Not an apology. Not a reunion. Not some perfectly wrapped ending. Just peace. Peace that says: "That happened." "I didn't like it." "I learned from it." "And I am not going to keep paying for it emotionally every day." Forgiveness can simply mean that the event no longer gets to control your nervous system. You stop waking up thinking about it. You stop rehearsing imaginary conversations. You stop checking whether they finally understand what they did. You reclaim your attention. That is freedom. SOME PEOPLE DON'T WANT FORGIVENESS. THEY WANT THEIR POSITION BACK. This one is important. Sometimes somebody says: "Well, I thought you forgave me." But what they really mean is: "I thought I would get the same access again." Those are not the same thing. Some people aren't upset that you're still angry. You're not angry. They are upset that there are consequences. They want to skip accountability and go directly back to proximity. They want your forgiveness to erase the natural consequences of their choices. But forgiveness does not require you to protect somebody from consequences. If I learn that I cannot trust you with certain parts of my life, the consequence may simply be less access. Not revenge. Not punishment. Just a new boundary based on new information. PROXIMITY WITHOUT CHANGE IS JUST ANOTHER OPPORTUNITY FOR THE SAME PATTERN This line really matters: Proximity without change is just a second opportunity to do the same thing. Because people will sometimes rush reconciliation because the discomfort of distance feels awkward. But if nothing actually changed, what are we reconciling? Did the person become more accountable? Did the behavior stop? Did communication improve? Were boundaries respected? Was there actual repair? Or did enough time just pass that everyone feels uncomfortable talking about it anymore? Time passing is not the same thing as growth. An apology is not the same thing as transformation. Words matter. Behavior matters more. STOP PERFORMING REUNIONS YOU DON'T ACTUALLY FEEL I think sometimes people reconcile because they don't want to look mean. They don't want family members to think they're difficult. They don't want mutual friends to feel awkward. They don't want to be accused of holding a grudge. So they perform closeness. And inside they are thinking: "I don't trust this person." "I don't feel safe around this person." "I don't actually want this relationship." That kind of relationship becomes exhausting because now you're spending energy pretending. You do not have to manufacture intimacy to prove that you're healed. Sometimes healing actually looks like being able to peacefully say: "No thank you." YOU DON'T NEED ANGER TO JUSTIFY A BOUNDARY You don't have to still be mad in order to say no. You don't need a dramatic reason. You don't need another explosion. You don't need them to do something terrible one more time. You can simply decide: "This relationship no longer works for me." We have been conditioned to think boundaries need a courtroom argument. They don't. You are allowed to notice patterns. You are allowed to recognize how somebody affects you. And you are allowed to make decisions accordingly. BEING AT PEACE DOESN'T MEAN BECOMING AVAILABLE AGAIN Peace sometimes looks like silence. Peace sometimes looks like not responding. Peace sometimes looks like seeing their name and feeling nothing. Peace sometimes looks like being able to be in the same room without needing to confront them. And peace sometimes looks like never seeing them again. There is no universal picture of forgiveness. Sometimes people assume healing means everybody gets back together. Maybe healing means you no longer need everybody to get back together. YOU CAN LOVE SOMEONE AND STILL LOVE YOURSELF ENOUGH TO LEAVE This applies to friendships, family relationships, romantic relationships, work relationships and everything in between. Love by itself does not make every relationship healthy. Sometimes you can genuinely love somebody and still recognize: "We are not good together." Or: "I cannot keep exposing myself to this." Or: "I care about you, but I cannot keep participating in this dynamic." That doesn't make the love fake. It means love isn't the only factor in the decision. You also have to consider trust. Respect. Safety. Compatibility. Peace. Values. Patterns. STOP WAITING FOR THEM TO UNDERSTAND YOUR BOUNDARY One of the hardest parts about boundaries is realizing the other person may never agree with yours. They may call you dramatic. Cold. Unforgiving. Sensitive. Difficult. Selfish. And if your entire goal is getting them to approve of your boundary, you're going to stay stuck. Sometimes the person who benefited most from you having no boundaries is going to hate your boundaries the most. That doesn't automatically mean the boundary is wrong. You have to be able to tolerate being misunderstood.   THE HIGHEST LEVEL OF FORGIVENESS MAY BE INDIFFERENCE Sometimes we think forgiveness means having this big emotional moment where you suddenly feel warmth toward the person. Maybe. But sometimes forgiveness is much quieter. You just stop caring. Not in a cruel way. You simply stop being emotionally hooked. Their choices don't ruin your day anymore. Their name doesn't trigger a twenty-minute rant. You don't need everyone else to agree with your version of what happened. You don't need revenge. You don't need validation. You moved on. That is powerful. ASK YOURSELF: WHAT DID THIS EXPERIENCE TEACH ME? Instead of only asking: "How could they do this to me?" Ask: "What did this teach me?" Maybe it taught you to stop ignoring red flags. Maybe it taught you to speak up sooner. Maybe it taught you that chemistry does not equal compatibility. Maybe it taught you that history does not equal loyalty. Maybe it taught you that an apology without changed behavior means very little. Maybe it taught you to trust your instincts. Maybe it taught you that you can survive losing a relationship you once thought you couldn't live without. Take the lesson. Leave the bitterness. YOU ARE ALLOWED TO CREATE A NEW VERSION OF THE RELATIONSHIP Sometimes the answer isn't all-in or completely gone. Maybe the relationship needs a different shape. You can move someone from your inner circle to your outer circle. You can reduce frequency. You can change what topics you discuss. You can stop sharing private information. You can stop asking them for emotional support. You can see them at family events without maintaining a close personal relationship. Boundaries don't always mean cutting someone off. Sometimes they mean creating the appropriate distance. IF RECONCILIATION DOES HAPPEN, LET BEHAVIOR LEAD If you do decide that you want to rebuild a relationship, don't rush it. Let the person show you. You don't have to immediately hand them the keys again. Start small. Pay attention. Do they respect your boundaries? Do they take ownership? Do they become defensive when the past comes up? Do their actions match their apology? Can they tolerate earning trust slowly? Real change can handle patience. Manipulation usually demands immediate access. YOU DON'T HAVE TO HATE THE OLD VERSION OF YOU WHO ALLOWED IT Sometimes after a difficult relationship, we get angry with ourselves. "How did I not see this?" "Why did I stay?" "Why did I give them another chance?" But you made choices with the information, confidence and perspective you had at the time. Now you know more. The goal isn't to shame your previous self. The goal is to become somebody who responds differently now. Growth means the lesson changes your future behavior. PROTECTING YOUR PEACE IS NOT REVENGE There is a major difference between creating distance to hurt somebody and creating distance to protect yourself. If your goal is: "I want them to suffer." That's revenge. But if your goal is: "I don't want to live in this dynamic anymore." That's a boundary. You know the difference internally. Protecting your peace does not require you to punish anybody. Sometimes the healthiest thing you can do is simply remove yourself.     I think one of the strongest forms of emotional maturity is being able to say: I forgave you. I'm not angry. I'm not bitter. I don't spend my days thinking about what happened. I genuinely hope you have a great life. And I still don't want you close to me. There is nothing contradictory about that. You are allowed to forgive somebody without restoring their previous position in your life. You are allowed to release anger and keep the lesson. You are allowed to stop carrying resentment while still maintaining boundaries. Forgiveness doesn't delete the data. Forgiveness doesn't automatically rebuild trust. Forgiveness does not require reconciliation. And forgiveness does not come with a key. Sometimes the healthiest ending isn't everyone hugging and going back to the way things were. Sometimes the healthiest ending is simply: I learned. I released it. I wish you well. And the door stays closed. That isn't bitterness. That's clarity and some of the BEST kind of it.

We are releasing a special bonus episode of What The Fundraising! In this episode of What the Fundraising Podcast… I talked to behavior scientist and author BJ Fogg, PhD. BJ is one of my biggest teachers and superheroes, he has run a lab at Stanford University for 20 years now, and for the last 10, he's dedicated his work to behavior design. His book Tiny Habits is a wonderful explanation of how our brains work and what small but effective techniques we can use to create habits and beat fears. His Fogg Behavior Model is perfect for fundraisers out there, it goes from allowing yourself to feel success over small victories, to taking action by tracking down your prompts and abilities. In this conversation BJ shares SO many useful and simple hacks, I felt like I had to write them down. Plus, his approach to people is immensely human, compassionate, and positive, (just like fundraising!) You really don't want to miss this conversation.

Judge John Judge repeatedly warned members of the media covering Bryan Kohberger's case that their courtroom access came with rules and that he was prepared to restrict or eliminate cameras if those rules continued to be tested. During a June 2023 hearing, Judge specifically called out photographers and camera operators for “pushing the envelope,” particularly by focusing too closely on Kohberger, the defense table, attorneys' notes and computer screens instead of maintaining the wider courtroom shots the court had authorized. He made clear that the proceedings were supposed to take place in the courtroom, not become a spectacle conducted through television coverage, and warned that continued violations could result in cameras being removed altogether. Kohberger's defense later cited those incidents as evidence that the media had failed to follow the court's restrictions and argued that cameras threatened his ability to receive a fair trial.When the fight over cameras intensified later that year, Judge stopped short of banning them but delivered another pointed warning about how reporters, photographers and spectators were expected to behave. He urged everyone covering the case to exercise “dignity” and “restraint,” emphasizing that the extraordinary public interest surrounding Kohberger did not give the media license to turn every movement, facial expression or document on counsel's table into content. Judge attempted to balance the public's right to observe one of the country's most closely watched criminal cases against Kohberger's right to a fair proceeding, but his message to the press was unmistakable: courtroom access was a privilege governed by the court, and if the media could not respect the boundaries he imposed, he was willing to tighten those restrictions.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.com

Why does every diet eventually end with you back where you started? Ben Fudge says the problem was never your willpower. It was the plan. Ben Fudge, head coach of the Elite program at Trevor Kashey Nutrition and a former Army Ranger, reveals Cognitive Nutrition: a behavior-first method that turns new eating habits into skills that finally hold. He walks through the SRO model, why you track before you target, and how to stay calm when the cookie is right in front of you. Meet our guest Ben Fudge is the head coach of the Elite program at Trevor Kashey Nutrition (TKN). A former Army Ranger with four overseas deployments, he brings military-grade discipline and structure to coaching built on TKN's Cognitive Nutrition method, developed by Dr. Trevor Kashey.

Behavior change, not willpower, is what makes new habits stick. The SRO model (Stimulus, Response, Outcome) inserts time and space before you react. Track everything to the gram first, before setting any target. Fix protein and calories, then run the big four: sleep, hydration, nutrition, activity. One slip is not total failure. Do not slash the other three tires over one flat. Rehearse high-risk moments ahead of time instead of relying on willpower.

After three years living in France, some of the French behaviors Kim once found strange don't seem so strange anymore. From topless beaches and bikinis at every age to a much more laissez-faire approach to parenting, she reflects on the cultural differences that have made her question some of her own American habits.She also shares what she's learned about the French tendency to complain, critique and say “c'est pas mal,” and why that doesn't necessarily mean they're less happy. Instead, she's beginning to see how much value the French place on enjoying the day that's actually in front of them rather than constantly chasing what comes next.Plus, Kim shares her advice on the best time to visit the South of France and why June, September and October may be better choices than the peak summer months.Resources:Don't forget to subscribe, rate & review and follow us on Instagram @coucou.pod Produced by NOVA

A freestall may look like a fairly simple piece of bent steel. But behind its modern design lies decades of observation, experimentation, failure and research into how cows naturally move, rest and behave.John de Jonge grew up on a dairy farm in British Columbia before entering agricultural manufacturing and dairy barn equipment. In the 1990s, he became part of a small group that began using time-lapse video and early sensor technology to study cows in pasture and inside freestall barns.What they discovered challenged many of the industry's assumptions.Freestalls were often too short, too narrow and too restrictive. Neck rails were positioned incorrectly. Pipes were placed in the cow's natural movement path. The industry had focused heavily on the strength and durability of the steel—but not enough on how the cow actually used the space.In this episode, John shares how that research helped reshape freestall design around the world. He and Paul also examine why the “best” housing system depends on climate, bedding, manure handling, labor and management—and why copying a successful neighboring dairy can still end badly.The technology inside dairy barns continues to change, but one principle has not: the entire system is only as strong as the environment it creates for the individual cow. Listen now!MEET THE GUESTJohn de Jonge grew up on his family's dairy farm in Pitt Meadows, British Columbia, where he developed an early interest in machinery, manufacturing and dairy housing.After studying agricultural mechanics and engineering at Olds College, John worked in several manufacturing environments before purchasing a small agricultural fabrication business at age 25. He went on to help develop and expand dairy housing equipment across North America and international markets.During the 1990s, John worked alongside researchers, veterinarians and other industry specialists to study cow behavior using time-lapse video and early sensor technology. That work helped challenge conventional assumptions about freestall dimensions, neck-rail placement and the space cows require to rise, rest and move naturally.John is now focused on InBarn, where he continues to help dairy producers and their advisors design facilities around cow comfort, management realities and long-term operational performance.ABOUT THE PODCASTDiscover the world of agriculture with the "Ag Culture Podcast".This podcast will be a gateway for those passionate about agriculture to explore its global perspectives and innovative practices.Join Paul as he shares his experiences in the agricultural industry, his travels, and encounters with important figures around the world.Available on YouTube, Spotify, and Apple Podcasts.Subscribe at http://www.agculturepodcast.com and keep an eye out for future episodes, bringing insights and stories from the vibrant world of agriculture.

Send us Fan MailThis week I want to talk about something I've been sitting with: eyes on your plate, eyes on your lane. I was actually writing these notes when I found out Dolly Parton had passed away, and it sent me into a whole reflection on boundaries — how easy it is to want to fix people, to give unsolicited advice about their food, their choices, their life, even when we mean well. I'm sharing what almost thirty years in leadership, addiction training, and life coaching have taught me about staying in your own lane, what real support looks like when someone you love is struggling with serious addiction, and why doing the wellness work for yourself is the most powerful thing you can offer someone else. If you've ever gotten advice nobody asked for — or caught yourself giving it — this episode is for you. Citations●     Dolly Parton tribute reference — NPR, "Dolly Parton, one of country music's most singular performers, has died at age 80" (Aug. 25, 2026) — https://www.npr.org/2026/08/25/nx-s1-3650175/dolly-parton-obituary ●     Additional source — The Washington Post, "Dolly Parton, country music singer and cultural icon, dies at 80" (Aug. 25, 2026) — https://www.washingtonpost.com/obituaries/2026/08/25/dolly-parton-country-music-singer-cultural-icon-dies-80/ ●     Film references mentioned: Steel Magnolias (1989) and 9 to 5 (1980) ●     Weight stigma & unsolicited comments about food or weight — Rebecca M.

When teachers and family misread your child's behavior, parents may question their instincts when others don't see the struggle. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge helps parents understand emotional dysregulation through Regulation First Parenting™ and calm the brain first.When your child seems fine at school but falls apart at home, it's easy to wonder, Am I doing something wrong? You're not alone. When others don't see what you see, understanding your child's behavior can become even harder.Let's explore why dysregulated kids may hold it together at school and release their stress at home. You'll learn how to trust your instincts and better understand what your child's behavior is communicating.Why does my child melt down after school but seem fine for teachers?A child can be struggling and still look completely fine to everyone else. Many dysregulated kids spend their school day managing noise, friendships, transitions, directions, anxiety, big emotions, and the effort of sitting still.Their stress cup may be filling all day, even when nobody notices. Then, when they reach the safety of home, their nervous system finally runs out of capacity.Remember:Home isn't necessarily the problem. It may be where your child finally feels safe enough to let go.Meltdowns, shutdowns, and freakouts can signal an overwhelmed nervous system.Behavior is communication.Real-life example: Amy's son was repeatedly described as having a “great day” at school, only to completely fall apart in the car. She began wondering if she was too soft or a bad parent. The reality? He had been holding it together all day.Why do teachers and family members think my child is fine?Teachers, grandparents, and family members may each see only one piece of the puzzle. A teacher may see your child's best effort at school, while you see what happens when their nervous system has no capacity left.Instead of trying to convince others that your child is struggling, become a nervous system educator.Explain what happens after your child runs out of capacity.Invite curiosity instead of defensiveness.Remember that teachers are with your child all day and often do incredible things that naturally support regulation.

The most expensive training may be the training your team forgets six months later.This week I spoke with Alex Mozes, CEO of Gravity Learning, about why so much corporate training looks successful on paper but fails to create lasting behavior change. We explored the difference between completing a course and actually learning a skill, why engagement scores and five-star ratings can miss the bigger picture, and how science-backed, interactive learning can create measurable outcomes. Alex also shared lessons from his years in the online learning industry, including his experience helping grow Udemy, and explained why human connection, practice, accountability, and discomfort still play such an important role in developing people. Here are the highlights:● Completion doesn't equal learning. A course can generate strong engagement and positive feedback without actually transferring the skills people need to use on the job.● Behavior change is the real measure of success. Effective learning should be evaluated by whether people actually apply new skills weeks and months after the training ends.● Human connection still matters. Communication, collaboration, feedback, leadership, and other interpersonal skills require practice, accountability, and interaction that technology alone may not replicate.● AI can enhance learning without replacing people. AI can provide additional opportunities for practice and simulation while human facilitators create accountability, challenge assumptions, and push learners beyond their comfort zones.● Training should create measurable outcomes. Organizations can get more value from their learning investments by focusing on science-backed methods, measurable skills, practice, and sustained behavior change. About the guest: Alex has spent over 20 years in the learning space, including scaling Udemy from employee #15 to a global team serving 100 million learners. Today, he leads Gravity Learning, a workforce development company applying cognitive science to manager training; confidently tracking learning transfer for six months after programs end to ensure behavior change actually sticks.Alex brings a unique perspective on why corporate training often fails and how science‑backed methods can deliver measurable outcomes. His experience spans startups, IPO readiness, and ed‑tech innovation, leadership, L&D strategy, startups, and business.

Épisode 1499 : C'est déjà la rentrée et il s'est passé beaucoup de choses pendant l'été alors on vous propose un petit récap de ce qu'il ne fallait pas louper !YouTube gonfle ses vues : on va tous avoir l'air plus grosGros changement du côté de Youtube en cette fin d'été. Depuis le 24 août, YouTube compte une vue dès que la lecture démarre.Dès la première image.Jusqu'à présent, la logique était différente. Pour les vidéos longues de Youtube il fallait un temps de visionnage minimal avant de comptabiliser une vue. 30 secondes.Instagram lance « First Draft » pour simplifier la création de ReelsInstagram ajoute un nouvel outil baptisé First Draft, pensé pour accélérer très fortement la première étape du montage d'un Reel.Le principe : l'utilisateur sélectionne plusieurs vidéos présentes dans son téléphone et Instagram génère automatiquement un premier montage.First Draft identifie des portions pertinentes dans les différents rushs, coupe notamment les temps morts et assemble le tout en une seule vidéo.

Guests Tomelle Greenfield holds a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education and a Master's degree in Applied Behavior Analysis. As a Strobel Education Consultant, behavior specialist, and co-developer of the ROOTS Framework, she partners with schools to build proactive, relationship-centered systems that improve student behavior, educator confidence, and lasting outcomes.    As a former teacher turned speaker and happiness coach, Kim Strobel helps schools, businesses, and organizations prioritize happiness and well-being so they can overcome fears, discover joy, activate limitless potential, and boldly pursue their dreams. She is the author of Teach Happy. Summary Tomelle and Kim argue that schools need to rethink how they understand and respond to student behavior. Rather than treating behavior as a problem to be managed after it occurs, they see it as communication and believe schools should create conditions that prevent dysregulation in the first place. Their ROOTS approach brings together practices that are often treated as separate initiatives—including trauma-informed practices, social-emotional learning, restorative practices, Positive Behavioral Interventions and Supports, Multi-Tiered System of Supports, relationship building, and classroom management—into a coherent system. A central theme is the importance of relationships and regulation. Dysregulated students cannot learn effectively, and simply removing them from class or imposing consequences does not teach the skills they lack. Teachers, too, need support in learning to regulate themselves and model those skills for students. Tomelle and Kim believe schools need to move from "doing" to "being": these practices should become part of the everyday culture, not another set of initiatives. Consistent coaching, common expectations, adult support, and preventative systems are essential. Ultimately, their message is that healthy schools begin with healthy relationships—and that connection and accountability can coexist. The Essential Point Behavior management shouldn't be something schools do to students after problems arise; it should be woven into how schools operate every day. Relationships, regulation, consistency, and prevention create the conditions in which students—and teachers—can learn and thrive.

In this episode of the Race and Rights Podcast, guest host Dr. Esaa Mohammad Sabti Samarah sits down with Dr. Mustafa Rfat, a faculty member at the University of Nebraska at Omaha, a scholar of forced migration and disability justice, and the Refugee Congress Delegate representing the state of Missouri, for a conversation examining the intersection of refugee rights, disability, and structural inequality. Drawing from both rigorous scholarship and lived experience as a refugee with a disability, Dr. Rfat explores how immigration systems, social policies, and institutional practices shape the lives of refugees with disabilities long before and long after resettlement.Together, they examine the historical exclusion of people with disabilities from U.S. immigration and citizenship policy, the barriers refugees encounter when navigating health care, education, employment, and naturalization, and why disability must be understood through a social rather than medical lens alone. The discussion also explores the human consequences of recent refugee and deportation policies, highlighting how inaccessible systems and language exclusion can undermine both disability rights and fundamental human rights.Throughout the conversation, Dr. Rfat reflects on his own journey from Iraq to the United States, illustrating how personal experience has informed a research agenda dedicated to advancing refugee health equity, participatory research, and disability justice. The episode challenges listeners to reconsider dominant narratives about refugees by centering resilience, dignity, and belonging while emphasizing the responsibility of researchers, practitioners, and policymakers to dismantle structural barriers rather than expecting individuals to overcome them alone.This episode is essential listening for scholars, practitioners, policymakers, students, and advocates committed to refugee rights, disability justice, health equity, and human rights.Links to Published WorksRfat, M.

Understanding the problem is not always the same as changing the pattern. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Julie Lopez, founder of Viva, for a conversation about trauma, implicit memory, brain-based therapies, and why talk is not always the language the nervous system understands. Julie starts with a story from early memory research that shows something fascinating and, honestly, a little unsettling. A person may not consciously remember an event, but their system can still remember enough to respond. The body may hold information that never becomes a neat story with a beginning, middle, and end. Which matters a lot when we are talking about complicated kids. So many of the kids we talk about on this podcast have sensory systems, nervous systems, stress responses, and bodies that are taking in the world in ways they may not be able to explain. They may not have language for what feels unsafe, overwhelming, painful, intense, or confusing. And when they do not have words, their bodies may speak instead. Crying. Kicking. Screaming. Biting. Shutting down. Melting down. Refusing. Running away. Looking like they are "being difficult" when something much deeper may be happening. That does not mean those behaviors are fine. It does mean we need to be curious about where they come from. Julie and I talk about the limits of relying only on talk, especially when the struggle is not stored only in the thinking, explaining, logical part of the brain. Talk can be connecting. It can help people feel seen. It can help us organize a story and make sense of what happened. But if the body is still reacting as if the danger is happening now, understanding may not be enough. And that is where this conversation gets really interesting. Julie explains implicit memory, the role of the nervous system, and why experiences from very early life, high-stress moments, trauma, or overwhelming sensory experiences may be stored outside of conscious language. We talk about babies, NICU experiences, sensory triggers, and the way a child may respond to an environment that their body recognizes as dangerous, even if their conscious mind cannot explain why. We also talk about therapies that work beyond talk, including EMDR, brainspotting, somatic experiencing, sensory motor psychotherapy, and other approaches that help the system process what got stuck. One of my favorite moments in this episode is when Julie describes the goal of this work, and I realize that what we are talking about is not erasing memory. It is uncoupling the event from the full-body alarm that still comes with it. You may still remember what happened, but you are not still living inside it. That feels important. This episode is not anti-therapy. It is not anti-talking. We are relational creatures, and being with another human who can listen and help us make sense of ourselves absolutely matters. But some things cannot be talked into changing. Sometimes the body needs a different language. And when we understand that, we may have a better chance of helping complicated kids, complicated adults, and, frankly, all of our complicated human systems. Key Takeaways Talk can be helpful, but it is not always enough to create deep nervous system change. Some patterns are stored in implicit memory, outside of conscious language. The body can remember and respond to experiences the mind does not consciously recall. Complicated kids may not have words for what their nervous systems are experiencing. Behaviors like crying, kicking, screaming, shutting down, or running may be communication from a system that feels overwhelmed or unsafe. Understanding why something happens does not always make the body stop reacting. Trauma-informed care asks what the nervous system is trying to tell us, not just what behavior needs to stop. Brain-based therapies like EMDR, brainspotting, somatic experiencing, and sensory motor psychotherapy work beyond storytelling alone. Effective therapy can help uncouple a memory from the physiological alarm that still comes with it. There is nothing wrong with you. Sometimes there is a knot in the system that needs a different kind of support. About Dr. Julie Lopez Dr. Julie Lopez is the founder of Viva, a mental health organization serving clients in DC, Maryland, and Virginia, as well as through telehealth. Julie is passionate about helping people understand how their complicated human systems work so they can move beyond outdated models of change and access therapies that work with the brain, body, nervous system, and implicit memory. Her work focuses on trauma-informed, brain-based, and body-based approaches that help people create lasting change without relying only on talk or storytelling. Through Viva and her educational work, Julie helps adults, parents, clinicians, and families better understand why some patterns do not shift through insight alone and what becomes possible when we use tools that speak the nervous system's language. About Your Host, Gabriele Nicolet I'm Gabriele Nicolet, toddler whisperer, speech therapist, parenting life coach, and host of Complicated Kids.

Have you ever found yourself taking your child's behavior personally, getting defensive, or reacting in a way you wish you could take back? Today, we're talking about how the Gottman Institute's Four Horsemen of criticism, contempt, defensiveness, and stonewalling can show up in our parenting, why our kids' emotional development means we have to take the lead when it comes to navigating conflict, and how much they learn from the way we handle hard moments. We're not going to get it right every time, but becoming more aware of our patterns can help us model healthier communication, repair, and relationships for our kids.Key Topics CoveredWhy criticism can feel like an attack or humiliation to a childHow to tell the difference between taking a break and stonewallingWhy self-regulation has to come before trying to coach your child through a conflictHow to soften the start-up and communicate your feelings more clearlyThe importance of taking responsibility and modeling a genuine apologyLINKS AND RESOURCES:AMAZON STOREFRONT: https://amzlink.to/az0BrkLl5pX9uMOMCOZY: 20% off with code HERSELF https://momcozy.com/ Let's connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY: http://instagram.com/abbyrosegreenThis episode was brought to you by the Pivot Ball Change Network.

Why do we keep repeating the same unhealthy relationship patterns—even when we know better?In this powerful episode of Mindset Mastery Moments, Dr. Alisa Whyte sits down with transformation coach Mike Wood, founder of Learn To Love Being You, to explore how subconscious beliefs formed in childhood continue to shape our identity, relationships, confidence, and decisions as adults.Mike shares his remarkable journey from a successful yet deeply unhappy construction executive to discovering how to rewrite over 200 limiting core beliefs that had been running his life on autopilot.What We DiscussTogether, they explore why traditional "self-help" often fails and how deep identity shifts create permanent freedom:Awareness vs. Transformation: Why simply knowing your issues isn't enough to actually change them.Childhood Echoes: How early environment and experiences dictate your adult relationship dynamics.The High Cost of People Pleasing: Overcoming self-abandonment to establish healthy, empowering boundaries.Behavior vs. Identity: Moving beyond surface-level habit changes to rewire your foundational identity.The Comfort of Chaos: Understanding why subconscious programming keeps repeating familiar, unhealthy patterns.Embracing Authentic Self-Worth: Why stepping into true authenticity feels uncomfortable before it feels liberating.If you've ever wondered why you keep attracting the same situations or struggle to maintain lasting personal change, this conversation will give you a completely new perspective.Exclusive Free Resource for ListenersFree Mindset Masterclass: Master Your Core Beliefs — Step-by-step guidance to uncover and shift subconscious programming.Connect with Mike WoodOfficial Website: Learn To Love Being YouLinkedIn: Connect with Mike Wood on LinkedInYouTube: @lovebeingyou1Instagram: @learntolovebeingyou1Facebook: Learn To Love Being You CommunityTikTok: @mikeslovebeingyouMusic Attribution & LicensingMusic Track: Licensed through SoundstripeLicense Code: SSXRSDWNWB9BRYQI"True transformation doesn't come from forcing new behaviors on an old identity.

Erin Clarelli is back for round two! Erin is an occupational therapist specializing in whole-body apraxia, and this conversation had us looking at behavior—and ourselves—a little differently. We talk about learning to respond instead of react, navigating disagreements with your spouse about behaviors and teaching skills, potty training, and observing what the body is communicating without automatically assigning intention. Erin also challenges us to examine our own beliefs, reactions, and motivations. Because supporting our kids requires patience, teamwork, and the ongoing challenge of regulating ourselves while helping our kids regulate too. Because apparently, we're all a work in progress.

When your child's behavior feels overwhelming, it may be communicating more than defiance. The reason why behavior is the signal, not the problem, explains what's beneath big reactions and how regulation changes everything. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge is an expert in Regulation First Parenting™ and childhood dysregulation.When your child melts down, argues, or refuses, it's easy to focus on stopping the behavior. But why behavior is the signal, not the problem, helps you look beneath the behavior and understand what your child's nervous system is communicating.Instead of chasing every reaction, learn to recognize when your child's stress cup is full and focus on regulation first. When you calm the brain first, everything else can begin to change.Why is my child's behavior getting worse even when I keep correcting it?If you feel like you're playing parenting whack-a-mole, you're not alone. One behavior improves, and another suddenly appears—homework refusal, meltdowns, arguing, crying, or explosive reactions.Behavior is communication. Instead of asking, “How do I stop this?” start asking, “What is this behavior trying to tell me?”Behavior is the signal—not the problem.Look for signs that your child's stress cup is full.Stop chasing every behavior and start lowering overall stress.Parent example: A child may explode before soccer, struggle with homework, and melt down over something tiny like toast being cut “wrong.” These may look like separate problems, but they can all signal an overloaded nervous system.What is my child's behavior trying to tell me?Your child's nervous system may be communicating that something is agitating, overwhelming, or overloading them. Until you understand what is happening beneath the behavior, you can easily miss the real clue.Ask yourself:What happened before this behavior?Was my child tired, hungry, overstimulated, or under-stimulated?Did they get enough sleep?Have they been holding it together all day at school?Could this be after-school restraint collapse?

He was borrowing their words, tone, and emotional responses and applying those scripts to real-life situations. That realization eventually led us to make significant changes to what he was consuming.But something surprising happened: Graham didn't stop scripting when we changed his media. His scripts changed.In this episode, we're talking about why Christian parents raising autistic disciples need to pay attention not only to how much screen time our kids have, but to what is filling that time. We'll talk about scripting and echolalia, how media can provide language for emotions, what happened when we changed Graham's content, and why his tendency to retain and repeat language has actually become an incredible avenue for discipleship.You'll also walk away with a practical way to evaluate your child's media this week:Listen → Trace → Evaluate → Replace → ObserveListen for repeated phrases or emotional responses. Trace where they may have learned them. Evaluate the content—not simply for whether it's “appropriate,” but for what it teaches about anger, fear, conflict, authority, and relationships. Replace unhelpful inputs with better ones rather than simply removing screens. Then observe what begins showing up in everyday life.Because Romans 12:2's call to be “transformed by the renewing of your mind” applies to our families too. What repeatedly occupies our attention matters.The goal isn't to eliminate an autistic way of learning. If our kids are going to script, we have an opportunity to give them truth worth scripting.Scripture referenced: Romans 12:2; Proverbs 4:23; Luke 6:45; Philippians 4:8; Deuteronomy 6:6–7; Psalm 1One question to take with you: If my child is going to carry scripts into the world, what scripts am I helping put there?

When feeding therapy stalls, it is rarely because a clinician lacks exercises - it is usually because intervention began before the child's foundational systems were fully understood. Trying to fix oral-motor mechanics without addressing postural stability, airway integrity, or sensory overload is like building a house on sand.In this episode, Hallie Bulkin shares a structured, child-centered framework for pediatric feeding therapy that moves clinicians away from reactive "symptom chasing" and toward deep clinical reasoning. She breaks down the critical distinction between preliminary screening and comprehensive assessment, explaining how to connect isolated clinical observations into actionable patterns.Hallie highlights why posture, breathing, and nervous system regulation must be evaluated before asking the mouth to perform. She also discusses how to prioritize barriers based on the whole child, collaborate effectively with medical providers, and implement proactive strategies that build lasting trust with families.Key Topics & TakeawaysFoundation Over Function: Why postural alignment, airway patency, and sensory processing must be stabilized before targeting oral-motor skill development.Pattern Recognition vs. Symptom Chasing: How to connect individual clinical observations into cohesive patterns that reveal the true root cause of feeding difficulties.Screening vs. Comprehensive Assessment: Understanding where screening ends and formal diagnostic assessment begins to avoid premature intervention plans.Proactive vs. Reactive Therapy: Shifting from session-by-session troubleshooting to a clear, milestone-driven roadmap.Interdisciplinary Medical Collaboration: How and when to bring in medical partners (ENTs, GI, bodyworkers, dentists) to address systemic barriers to progress.Soundbites"Feeding does not happen in a silo - it requires the synchronized support of posture, airway, sensory, and nervous system regulation.""Assess the child's foundation before asking the mouth to perform. If the body is fighting for balance or air, feeding will always be secondary.""Symptoms are information, not the starting point. Our job is to trace those symptoms back to the underlying root cause."Timestamps 00:01:43 - The Need for a Structured Clinical Framework00:02:35 - Case Example: Why Feeding Does Not Happen in a Silo00:04:34 - Connecting the Dots in Feeding Evaluations00:05:08 - Assessing the Child's Foundation (Postural, Airway & Regulation)00:06:13 - Functional Feeding Assessment vs. Isolated Screening00:07:36 - Prioritizing Barriers and Building a Clinical Plan00:08:29 - Clinical Decision Examples (Posture, Airway, Trauma & Skill)00:10:12 - Stop Chasing Symptoms: Ask What the Behavior is Showing00:11:20 - Moving From Reactive Care to Proactive Care00:12:02 - Building Pattern Recognition & True Clinical Confidence00:14:42 - Key Takeaways for Feeding Therapists00:15:18 - Feed The Peds Training Announcement & WaitlistLinks & ResourcesFREE TRAINING: Learn how structural airway limits directly affect feeding in our free Screen The Peds to Feed The Peds Training.WORTH A LISTEN: CONTINUE YOUR JOURNEYWhy Some Cases Stay Stuck: The Clinical Thinking That Changes Outcomes.Screening vs. Assessment vs. Treatment: Why Every Clinician Needs to Know the Difference.STAY CONNECTED

What if feeling less tired and more inspired is not about waiting for life to slow down, but about making small, intentional choices in the middle of the chaos? In this episode, Joshua Stamper welcomes back former high school chemistry and physics teacher, keynote speaker, and author Phil Januszewski to discuss his new book, Too Damn Happy: Flourishing in a Tired and Uninspired World. After 20 years in the classroom, Phil left a career he loved to help educators and other adult givers build lives they do not need to escape from. Phil shares practical, research-informed strategies for moving beyond survival mode and toward greater energy, connection, resilience, and purpose. The conversation explores the difference between simply eliminating negativity and actively flourishing, why scheduling joy matters, how micro-moments of connection can change a school culture, and why leaders need to protect time for the things that truly refill their tank. About Phil Januszewski Phil Januszewski is a nationally recognized keynote speaker who empowers the “givers” of the world to flourish personally so they can create greater impact professionally; all while avoiding burnout, boredom, and cynicism. A 20-year educator turned full-time motivator; Phil blends science, storytelling, and humor to inspire audiences to recharge their energy and reignite their purpose. With a background in chemistry, a master's in teaching leadership, and a certification in positive education, he lives out his mission of creating and spreading happiness through motivation, education, and entertainment; all with a little extra tattoo ink and a whole lot of heart.
