If you've been asking yourself, why does my child melt down over everything, you're not alone. Learn why emotional outbursts are often signs of nervous system overload—not bad behavior. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge shares her Regulation First Parenting™ approach to help families create lasting calm and connection.Every parent has experienced it—that moment when asking your child to put on a shirt, turn off Roblox, or brush their teeth suddenly leads to tears, yelling, or total shutdown. It feels confusing because the reaction seems so much bigger than the situation.The good news? The meltdown isn't usually about the shirt, the game, or the transition. It's often the final drop in an already overflowing stress cup.Once you understand what's happening in your child's nervous system, everything starts to make more sense—and your parenting becomes far more effective.Why Does My Child Melt Down Over Everything?When your child's reaction feels completely out of proportion, it's natural to assume they're being defiant. But it's important to remember that behavior is communication.A meltdown often signals that your child's nervous system has become overwhelmed long before the explosion happened. School stress, lack of sleep, sensory overload, anxiety, social demands, or difficult transitions can all quietly fill their "stress cup."Key takeaways:Behavior is the symptom—not the root problem.Small triggers often become the "last straw."Neurotypical children dysregulate too, though neurodivergent kids may experience it more often.Imagine your child happily playing a game all afternoon. The request to stop isn't what caused the meltdown—it simply overflowed an already full nervous system.

What does it really take to lead well when school life is messy, fast-moving, and full of real challenges?

Drawing on their extensive experience in education, Charle Peck and Joshua Stamper challenge outdated disciplinary practices and offer a clear, trauma-informed framework that empowers educators to interpret student behavior as a form of communication. Through three core tenets—Consider the Environment, Explore the Root Causes of Behavior, and Respond with Intentionality—this book equips leaders with actionable strategies to foster positive behavior, build stronger relationships, and cultivate a more supportive school climate. Packed with real-world case studies, evidence-based practices, and insights into the lasting effects of childhood trauma, The Language of Behavior provides school leaders with the tools to create lasting, meaningful change. It offers a roadmap to reduce behavior issues, re-engage students and staff, and establish a culture of accountability and empathy. This book is not just a reference—it's a call to lead with vision and transform how we approach discipline, ensuring every student has the opportunity to thrive.

In today's episode of Culture Camp, Jason is joined again by David Spader and Leigh Quinn of Potentia, and they discuss the challenges and strategies for leading family businesses. They emphasize the importance of using the Prodaptive leadership process to manage emotional situations rationally. The process involves determining favorability (whether a situation is favorable or unfavorable) and diagnosing root causes using the BET model (Behavior, Environment, Task). They highlight the significance of understanding individual performance levels (L1-L5) and adapting leadership styles accordingly. The conversation underscores the need for clear, intentional communication to foster success and satisfaction in family business dynamics.Tweetable Quotes:"Emotions are going to happen whether we want them to occur or not." - David Spader"All business have to be success-oriented." - Leigh QuinnConnect with David Spader and Lee Quinn:On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/potentia-david-spader-5627655/https://www.linkedin.com/in/leigh-quinn-jr-a017oa69/ Visit Potentia-assesments.com: https://potentia-assessments.com/If you found value in this episode, please leave a rating and review, also, don't forget to share it with a friend! Remember to follow us on Instagram for more!

I have something SO amazing for you. Our mineral-heavy water started impacting my skin the moment we moved, and I had never experienced eczema or skin issues in my life. Hard water can strip natural oils, disrupt the microbiome, and weaken the skin barrier — leaving you inflamed, reactive, and stuck in flare-ups. That's exactly what happened to my neck, and within almost two weeks of using Herbal Face Food, my eczema is almost gone. This stuff is legit — and I only share my favorite things that actually work. Their formulas are made with ultra-potent, organic, whole-plant botanicals rich in antioxidants, polyphenols, and phytonutrients that calm inflammation, rebuild the skin barrier, and fight visible signs of aging instead of masking symptoms. The Cure is their most targeted antioxidant treatment designed to visibly improve stubborn concerns like eczema, melasma, rosacea, scarring, sun damage, and deeper signs of aging. The Cream is a deeply hydrating, ultra-potent botanical moisturizer that firms, smooths, strengthens the skin barrier, and helps reduce fine lines and wrinkles. The Soap gently cleanses without stripping, using powerful plant concentrates to protect, nourish, and support healthy, youthful-looking skin on both the face and body. If your skin has been struggling from hormones, environmental stress, hard water damage, or premature aging, I'm sharing exactly what I'm using and why it's working.

To be completely honest, I don't know exactly what this is. I mean, it's a podcast episode, but the precise genre? Unclear. So when it comes to describing it, the only thing I can say for sure is that I like it. It basically began as a sermon (did I mention that I'm starting a church?**

At ISTE 2026, Jethro Jones sits down with Mike Anderson to discuss his new book, Hugging Porcupines: Practical Strategies for Supporting Kids Who Struggle with Behavior in School. They explore why some students disengage, resist connection, and act out — and how teachers can respond with strategies built on the "three-legged stool" of academic engagement, respectful discipline, and positive relationships. The conversation covers building classroom rules collaboratively, the difference between consequences and punishments, and why problem-solving conferences (not just sending kids to the office) are key to real behavior change.

In this month's collective tarot reading on The Tarot Diagnosis Podcast, I explore one of my favorite concepts from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT): the idea that two seemingly opposite truths can exist at the same time.Inspired by the emotional chaos of Mercury retrograde (but designed to be relevant no matter what's happening in your life) I use my Tension of Opposites tarot spread (below) to explore how we can stop searching for certainty and instead widen our capacity to hold ambiguity, complexity, and contradictions.Throughout this collective, DBT-inspired reading, I weave together tarot, psychology, parts work, and dialectics as I explore how learning to tolerate emotional tensions can become one of our greatest sources of growth and strength - all through the High Priestess, Empress, Ace of Cups, and Three of Cups.Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to stop searching for a single "right" answer. Tarot doesn't always ask us to choose between opposing experiences, it often asks what it can look like to hold opposition with curiosity, compassion, and flexibility. I hope you enjoy this unscripted, nerdy, and compassionate musing of tensions of opposites.Want more of this type of tarot experience?

Why are youth sports losing participants at an alarming rate? In this episode, our hosting team—including two former high school coaches—takes a serious, unfiltered look at the growing crisis on the sidelines. We dive into the toxic parent culture, unrealistic expectations, and verbal abuse that are destroying youth athletics from the inside out. We break down two staggering statistics that every sports parent needs to hear: The Official Crisis: Why 55% of referees and officials quit early specifically because of the relentless verbal abuse they take from the stands. The Age 12 Drop-Out: Why the average child walks away from team sports by age 12, driven out by intense pressure and public embarrassment from their own parents. As coaches who have watched this behavior worsen year after year, we share firsthand stories from the bench, discuss the long-term damage to the kids, and issue a direct wake-up call to the sidelines. It is time to let the kids play, respect the whistle, and bring sportsmanship back to the stands.YouTube: youtube.com/15goodminutesBlueSky: @15goodminutes.bsky.socialemail: rusty@15goodminutes.comTwitter: twitter.com/15goodminutes

Lock it away until 59 and a half. Pay a penalty to touch it early. Hand it to a manager you will never meet. Check in decades later and hope it worked out. Applied to a retirement account, that is just the default. Applied to a child, it is unthinkable. Before he takes it apart, Hans gives the 401(k) an honest steel man: the match really is part of your total compensation, the tax treatment is real, and for someone low on both financial literacy and discipline, forced savings may be the single best thing that ever happens to their balance sheet.Chapters:00:00 – Opening segment02:55 – The premise: would you raise a child like a 401(k)?06:45 – Why enter an industry this saturated11:30 – Defensive coordinator, offensive coordinator, head coach14:20 – Cash value as the buffer in a down market16:20 – Decumulation, Social Security timing, RMDs, and beneficiaries20:40 – The honest steel man for the 401(k)25:50 – Roth versus traditional and paying tax on the seed26:40 – The tax code as a map around income27:50 – Forced savings and where the 401(k) genuinely shines31:25 – Will 70% of your income really be enough?36:20 – The box, the penalty, and the friction that works both ways37:20 – Would you outsource raising your children?47:20 – Most of your time with your kids happens before they turn 1848:25 – Which rules will still exist when you turn 60?50:35 – Buy and hope dressed up as buy and hold54:15 – Net worth versus cash flow and the $3 million mansion57:00 – Contract wealth versus statement wealth59:15 – Closing segmentKey Takeaways:The match is not free money in the way LinkedIn tells you it is. It is a piece of the economic value your employer already assigned to your labor, and you only unlock it by parting with your own capital first.The 401(k) works, and it shines for one profile: low financial literacy paired with low discipline. If money leaves your hands regardless of intent, automatic enrollment and a penalty for early access may be the only thing standing between you and nothing. Whether you choose Roth or traditional comes down to a bet about the future. The conventional plan assumes you will need roughly 70% of your current income and land in a lower bracket. Locking capital away for 30 years is also a bet on political stability. The access ages have been changed before, they will be changed again, and $40 trillion sitting in qualified plans is a resource the system is already leveraging..Money is not math. Behavior is the largest determinant of any outcome, more than knowledge and more than which strategy you choose. Protect, save, grow in that order. Your capital feeds the people you love, so stop treating it like a stranger's science project.

Daniel Shapiro, PhD, returns to the Faculty Factory Podcast this week for a conversation on what really separates thriving academic leaders from those who quietly wash out of their roles. Today's interview is based on a talk Dr. Shapiro recently gave for Executive Leadership in Academic Medicine (ELAM), titled "Chutes and Ladders." After conducting hundreds of 360 evaluations for chairs, institute directors, and deans, and watching what happened to those leaders afterward, Dr. Shapiro started noticing patterns that rarely come up in typical leadership conversations. He breaks these behaviors into three tiers: Foundational behaviors Mid-level skills Advanced skills Dr. Shapiro currently serves as Senior Partner in Performance Transformation and leads the Chartis Center for Burnout Solutions, where he and his team assist leaders of multi-hospital systems with efforts to reduce burnout and the turnover of high-value people. He previously served as the Vice Dean for Faculty and Administrative Affairs at the Penn State College of Medicine (Hershey). Dr. Shapiro first joined us in February 2019. At the time it was the first ever interview released on this podcast and our second episode overall. It focused on factors that influence the productivity, success, happiness, and overall well-being of faculty. He returned in 2022 for an in-depth chat about data's role in advancing the careers of faculty. You can learn more about both those episodes: Episode 169 – A Faculty Factory Reunion with Daniel Shapiro, MS, PhD Episode 2 – A Faculty Factory Interview with Daniel Shapiro, MS, PhD You can get in contact with Dr. Shapiro via email: dshapiro@chartis.com and he is available to follow on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/drdanshaps/.

Narcissistic abuse and predatory behavior often hide in plain sight — and this episode pulls back the curtain on exactly how. In this special crossover conversation, I'm sharing an episode from Dr. Kerry McAvoy's podcast, Breaking Free from Narcissistic Abuse, featuring her conversation with Don Hennessy. Don Hennessy is an Irish psychotherapist who has spent decades working directly with abusive men and their partners, giving him a rare, firsthand understanding of how predatory control actually operates. In this episode, Don and Kerry expose the hidden playbook these men use to infiltrate a partner's mind — often so gradually that she doesn't realize it's happening until she's already trapped in it. You'll learn what these predators are truly after, why the tactics are so effective, and why survivors so often walk away wondering how they missed the signs. If you've ever felt gaslighted, found yourself walking on eggshells, or struggled to explain a trauma bonding dynamic you couldn't quite name, this conversation will help you understand the mechanics behind it — and why it was never your fault. Go find Breaking Free from Narcissistic Abuse wherever you listen to podcasts, and follow Kerry for more.

This week we're talking all things control, charisma, and cocktails. First, we dive into the bizarre world of Jared Leto's Mars Island—part retreat, part aesthetic cult, and now tangled in serious allegations. Then we're off to Next Gen NYC, where the Bravo legacy continues with some of the cast, and then others are thirstier than your Aperol spritz. CCBS's Cocktail Corner serves up a Bravo-inspired drink worthy of a confessional meltdown, and we close it out with some truly unhinged Quick Shots of Truth. Would you rather be ghosted by Jared Leto or cast on a Bravo show? Let's unpack that.

In this episode of ABA on Call, Rick Kubina and Doug Kostewicz respond to two real parenting questions drawn from social media. First, they examine the common misconception that reinforcement and bribery are the same, clarifying the behavioral principles underlying reinforcement, incentives, schedules of reinforcement, and the Premack Principle. They then analyze a complex family situation in which young children consistently seek one parent while rejecting the other, demonstrating how behavior analysts use objective data, motivating operations, attention, and reinforcement contingencies to understand and address challenging family dynamics. Throughout the discussion, the hosts illustrate how behavior analysis provides compassionate, practical, and evidence-based solutions to everyday parenting concerns.

Claire has spent nearly a decade writing emails, fixing onboarding flows, and tightening messaging for enterprise AI security, LiDAR tech, and competitive SaaS products — where a bad first impression costs everything. In this conversation, she pulls back the curtain on lifecycle marketing, the micro aha moment, the IKEA effect in onboarding, and why your offboarding experience is either a hidden growth lever or a slow revenue leak.If you're spending money to acquire customers and watching them quietly disappear, this episode will tell you exactly why — and what to fix first.Key Takeaways5:07 — Activation is the real growth lever. Most SaaS companies obsess over acquisition. Claire explains why a 5% lift in retention has more revenue impact than almost any ad spend — and why lifecycle marketing starts the moment someone clicks "sign up."6:23 — What lifecycle marketing actually means. It's not just a drip campaign. Claire breaks down the full journey: onboarding → value realization → feature expansion → offboarding — and why each phase is a marketing opportunity.8:29 — Predatory offboarding vs. strategic offboarding. Using Audible as the ultimate cautionary tale, Claire explains the difference between trapping customers and creating a graceful exit that keeps them in your world — and willing to come back.13:13 — The biggest onboarding mistake: empty states. Launching users into a blank dashboard is the fastest way to lose them. Claire explains what to do instead, and why collecting just 2–3 behavioral data points at signup changes everything downstream.15:02 — The IKEA effect in SaaS. A little friction is a good thing. Claire explains why making signup too easy actually reduces commitment — and how the cake mix that bombed (until they added eggs back in) is the perfect metaphor for onboarding design.16:33 — Stop collecting demographic data. Collect jobs-to-be-done. Knowing someone is a "senior manager at a 10,000-person enterprise" helps no one. Claire's framework: problem → motivation → outcome. That's the only data that moves the needle.19:53 — How to run customer interviews that actually work. The cardinal rule: ask "what" not "why." What was going on in your day? What led you to sign up? Inviting a story gets you gold. Asking for a justification gets you a polite non-answer.24:51 — Micro aha moments: the framework behind great onboarding. Don't make users complete a checklist before they see value. Map the big aha moments first, then reverse-engineer what tiny wins need to happen along the way.27:07 — Your pricing page is a micro aha moment. No pricing on your site? ChatGPT already knows. Claire's story of convincing a CEO to ask AI what their product costs — and the result — is a must-hear reality check.32:03 — Behavior-triggered emails beat time-triggered emails every time. Don't email users based on how many days have passed. Email them based on what they've done (or haven't done) in your product. Claire explains activation vs. adoption — and Slack's famous 1,000-message benchmark.35:54 — Why deals stall at no decision — and how to fight it. It's not usually the competitor. It's spreadsheets, internal politics, and the fear of being burned again. Claire's advice: empower the champion inside the company who's trying to get your tool approved.42:20 — The 30-day activation sprint. Claire's step-by-step playbook: optimize the sign-up page → add social proof → send a high-converting welcome email (60% open rate is achievable) → limit in-app prompts to three → A/B test subject lines before content.Tweetable Quotes"Your acquisition budget can't cover what a broken onboarding experience costs you." — Claire Heginbotham"It's not a churn problem. It's an activation problem." — Jeff Mains"Personality is your brand's moat. The more everything sounds the same, the more being human becomes a competitive advantage." — Claire Heginbotham"Don't discount friction. A little skin in the game increases commitment — that's the IKEA effect." — Claire Heginbotham"Ask 'what led you here' instead of 'why did you sign up.' One invites a story. The other asks for a justification." — Claire Heginbotham"Your real competition isn't another app. It's laziness and spreadsheets." — Claire Heginbotham"The company that empowers the internal champion best is the one they're going to fight for." — Claire Heginbotham"Stop asking 'why did you sign up?' Start asking 'what was going on in your life that made you go looking?' The story is where the real answer lives." — Jeff Mains"Assumptions are the mother of all f-ups." — Claire Heginbotham (quoting her first boss)"People don't leave a bad solution for a better one. They leave when they find someone who finally understands what they were actually dealing with." — Futureproof Founder closing thoughtSaaS Leadership Lessons1. The first 10 minutes determine everything. You can out-market every competitor and still lose the customer in the first session. If users don't reach a moment where your product means something to them quickly, they're gone — and no re-engagement campaign will save you. Treat the first 10 minutes like the most important sales conversation you'll ever have.2. Collect behavioral data at signup, not demographic data. Job titles and company sizes are noise. What matters is why someone showed up. Build 2–3 onboarding questions around jobs-to-be-done: the problem they're fleeing, the outcome they're imagining, and the motivation in between. That data powers every email, feature tour, and win-back you'll ever send.3. Design for micro aha moments, not checklist completion. Checklists train users to feel like they're working for your product instead of with it. Map your biggest value moments backward — what tiny realizations have to click first? Deliver those early and often. Every small "oh, I get it" moment is a deposit in the retention bank.4. Offboarding is a growth lever, not a white flag. How a customer leaves determines whether they come back. A graceful downgrade-to-free path, an honest exit survey, and a well-timed win-back sequence turn churned users into future buyers. Predatory offboarding (à la Audible) may retain users in the short term but destroys trust permanently.5. Your internal champion needs ammunition. In B2B, the person who signs the contract isn't always the person who found you. Someone inside that company is fighting to get your tool approved. Transparent pricing, clear ROI framing, and proof of support quality are weapons you hand them — and the company that arms them best wins the deal.6. Test assumptions with data, not debates. Most internal arguments about pricing, onboarding flows, and messaging are based on fear of edge cases that never happen. Before you sink time into back-and-forths about what might go wrong, ask: has it ever gone wrong? If the answer is never, ship it and measure. Assumptions are the mother of all f-ups.Guest Resourcesclaire@copyisland.comcopyisland.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/claireheginbotham/https://www.instagram.com/p/DE44XkOM6Jm/Episode SponsorThe Futureproof Series - https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfkXKUPZ5xuOqMPR7_gzGybncTtavyR1NThe Captain's KeysSmall Fish, Big Pond – https://smallfishbigpond.com/ Use the promo code ‘SaaSFuel'Champion Leadership Group – https://championleadership.com/https://jeffmains.com/books/SaaS Fuel ResourcesWebsite - https://championleadership.com/Jeff Mains on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jeffkmains/Twitter - https://twitter.com/jeffkmainsFacebook - https://www.facebook.com/thesaasguy/Instagram - https://instagram.com/jeffkmains

When you realize your child isn't giving you a hard time—they're having a hard time, everything about your response begins to change. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, creator of Regulation First Parenting™, helps families understand emotional dysregulation so they can calm the brain first, strengthen connection, and create lasting change.You're not imagining it—when your child screams, refuses, or lashes out, it can feel incredibly personal. But what if those moments aren't about defiance at all?In this episode, I explain why your child isn't giving you a hard time—they're having a hard time—and how changing this one perspective can transform your parenting and your child's nervous system.Why does my child seem to overreact to everything?When your child explodes over something small, it's easy to assume they're being disrespectful or trying to push your buttons.Behavior is communication, and big reactions are often a sign that their nervous system is overwhelmed—not that they're choosing to misbehave.A dysregulated child isn't thinking clearly. They've temporarily lost access to flexibility, emotional control, and problem-solving.What to remember:Big behavior often signals nervous system overload.Don't mistake dysregulation for manipulation.Your child needs regulation before correction.Imagine your child screaming because it's time to leave the park. Instead of seeing defiance, recognize they're struggling to manage disappointment and transition.How do I stop taking my child's behavior so personally?This is one of the hardest parenting shifts—and one of the most powerful.When you believe your child is attacking you, your own nervous system escalates, making it almost impossible to stay calm. But when you remember they're having a hard time, you create space to respond instead of react.Try this instead:Pause before responding.Remind yourself: "My child is struggling right now."Focus on calming yourself first.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Wednesdays on Whidbey & your host, Diane Wyzga. I'm often asked: “What brought you to Whidbey Island?” It's a standard ice breaker question here. My cheeky response is: A ferry brought me; ferries being a mode of transportation among the Washington islands. Many folks come here, vacation, fall in love, and return to claim their spot. Not me. It wasn't love at first sight. In truth, I washed up on the shores of Whidbey Island. My relationship with this place is more like an arranged marriage than falling-head-over-heels in love. An arranged marriage flips the traditional hook-up, dating, live together, get married sequence. Matchmakers introduce the partners, a wedding occurs, and love and intimacy are expected to develop afterward during marriage. While Hollywood movies often frame relationships around immediate romance, arranged marriages rely on a partnership built on shared foundations where emotional bonds grow over time. It's a pragmatic mindset requiring work and compromise that helps offset early disillusionment when one person's habits rub up against the other's expectations.     Unlike the traditional scenario where attraction might peak during a “honeymoon phase” the gradual growth of friendship, love, and meeting milestones together sets up a long-term companionship supported by those strong ties.   Just like our marriages, traditional or arranged, the place we live shapes our identities, behaviors, and well-being. Places we live—like the tides— direct our attention, movement, social interactions, personal growth and development. The community molds our sense of culture, belonging, what is normal, expected, possible and accepted. In ways large and small place fundamentally influences our daily routines, opportunities, and personality. After almost a decade in this semi-rural place, with all the highs and lows that come with starting anew in unfamiliar surroundings how have I come to love thee, Whidbey? Let me count the ways.   There's the cool Pacific Northwest climate, the landscape of old growth forests, farms and farmer's markets, abundant wildlife (sometimes too abundant in the garden), a slower pace because of narrow, winding 2-lane roads and reduced speed limits, the November to May Rain Festival that turns our attention and activities quietly inward. Ours is a deliberate lifestyle. We don't have malls or the hustle and bustle of city streets, or easy access to stuff one can get over in AmeriKa. Of course, that means we rely on ourselves and each other, especially when the power goes out and the hum of generators fills the night sky. Ours is a deceivingly robust community of varied social fabrics, politics, spirituality, intellects and economics. We support writers, artists, hikers, fisherfolk, entrepreneurs, farmers, poets, seniors, educators, and volunteers. Every meeting and gathering comes with a potluck. Yes, it can take time to find your people in a tight-knit rural place, but it's also a matter of stepping out the door, inviting people to share your front porch, building connections, building trust, learning tolerance for others. By and large people on Whidbey are friendly, welcoming, smart, clever, willing to shed big city ways to make room for patience. Maybe even understanding because we do not see all things the same way.   Ours hosts a plethora of outdoor spaces, free public transport, and the most wonderful library system that is the hub of our social connectedness. Sure the prices are higher than most, we do struggle to make ends meet, healthcare service could be better, and ferry schedule might be sketchy at times; but I knew I belonged when people greeted me by name in the grocery store or ACE Hardware or I was invited to begin teaching story courses for adults. Don't get me wrong. Whidbey Island is not unlike your community. It's not all rainbows and rhubarb pie here. We have our share of folks who behave like dumbshits. But for every person who behaves like a dumbshit there's a dozen who are truly kind and decent. That's the bit to remember because despite the ups and downs a time must come when you agree with yourself to set aside feelings of uncertainty, venture out, expand your horizons, engage with your new found community. As an introvert's introvert the idea of making a coffee date was not in my toolkit; but once I did step out it became easier and I learned that others were just waiting to be invited. This place called Whidbey Island is the place I live; even more important are the people I'm still coming to know who are shaping who I am. “But now that I am in love with a place that doesn't care how I look and if I am happy, happy is how I look and that's all.” *** Question: What is it about the place you live that has charmed and shaped you? *** Weathering ~  by Fleur Adcock "My face catches the wind from the snow line and flushes with a flush that will never wholly settle. Well, that was a metropolitan vanity, wanting to look young forever, to pass. I was never a pre-Raphaelite beauty and only pretty enough to be seen with a man who wanted to be seen with a passable woman. But now that I am in love with a place that doesn't care how I look and if I am happy, happy is how I look and that's all. My hair will grow grey in any case, my nails chip and flake, my waist thicken, and the years work all their usual changes. If my face is to be weather beaten as well, it's little enough lost for a year among the lakes and vales where simply to look out my window at the high pass makes me indifferent to mirrors and to what my soul may wear over its new complexion."

Listen to the rest of this premium episode by subscribing at patreon.com/knowyourenemy. Matt and Sam are joined by their great friend Dorothy Fortenberry to discuss the debacle of Graham Platner: the Maine Democratic Senate nominee who was forced to drop out amid allegations of rape. We compare notes about our evolving estimations of Platner, his appeal, and his scandals; uncover the gendered fantasies involved in his rise and fall; and game out what lessons can be learned from this experience — for the left and for the Democratic Party. Dorothy is an essayist, playwright, and TV writer/producer, including four seasons on “The Handmaid's Tale.” In previous appearances, she's discussed #Resistance moms, art and climate change, and Trump's women-hating cabinet. A new show she worked on, “Nocturne,” is coming out on Apple TV in October. This episode was edited and produced by Colin Wambsgans (Jesse is on vacation).

In this episode, I sit down with nutritional psychiatrist, professional chef, and bestselling author Dr. Uma Naidoo to explore the fascinating science behind the gut-brain connection and what it means for parents. Rather than focusing on restriction or perfection, Dr. Naidoo shares a practical, realistic approach to using food as one more tool to support your child's emotional well-being.   Together we explore:   Why your child's gut may be influencing far more than just digestion. The surprising reason adding foods to your child's diet may be more powerful than taking foods away. What most parents misunderstand about protein, and the nutrient no one is talking about that many kids are actually missing. How ultra-processed foods may be affecting mood, focus, and emotional regulation in ways you wouldn't expect. Simple swaps that can support your child's brain without making mealtimes more stressful. Why "food as medicine" isn't about replacing therapy or medication, but giving your child another layer of support. The mindset shift that makes healthy eating feel more realistic, sustainable, and far less overwhelming. Easy, family-friendly strategies that can help nourish both your child's body and brain.   Whether you're raising a picky eater, wondering how nutrition fits into your child's mental health, or simply looking for realistic ways to support your family's well-being, this conversation will leave you with practical ideas you can start using right away.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

What if your brain is changing at the molecular level -- but you feel completely fine? A new study on five G exposure reveals something unsettling: biological effects that don't show up in behavior tests. I'm R Blank, and in this episode of the Healthier Tech Podcast, I break down recent research examining five G signals at three point five gigahertz. The findings challenge a common assumption in wireless safety standards -- that if behavior looks normal, everything must be fine. The reality is more complex. In This Episode What researchers found when they exposed mice to five G signals repeatedly Why normal behavior doesn't necessarily mean normal biology The gap between current safety standards and emerging science One practical step you can take today to reduce your exposure Featured Study Read the full study: Repeated Head Exposures to a 5G-3.5 GHz Signal Do Not Alter Behavior but Modify Intracortical Gene Expression in Adult Male Mice See all studies at shieldyourbody.com/research

What if we've been asking the wrong question all along?For years, school-based occupational therapy practitioners have debated whether challenging student behaviors are driven by sensory processing differences or behavior. But what if that distinction isn't the most important one?In this episode, Jayson is joined by Kristen Brokamp, OTR/L and Breanna Lynch, OTR/L, co-founders of Holding Space Collaborative, to explore how OTPs can move beyond labels and instead focus on participation, regulation, trauma-informed care, and systems-level change.Together, they discuss why behavior is often a signal—not the problem itself—and how occupational therapy practitioners are uniquely positioned to help schools build environments that promote wellness, collaboration, and meaningful participation for every student.Whether you're supporting students individually, consulting with teachers, or hoping to expand OT's impact throughout your school, this conversation will challenge your thinking and inspire new possibilities.Listen now to learn the following objectives:— Learners will identify why focusing solely on "sensory vs. behavior" may limit occupational therapy intervention.— Learners will recognize OT's role in supporting school-wide wellness and prevention efforts.— Learners will identify opportunities to implement systems-level strategies that promote student participation and regulation.Click here to register & get the best deal on the 2026 Back to School Conference!  Thanks for tuning in!

The parenting order that works can transform how you respond to your child's biggest meltdowns by helping you stop power struggles before they spiral.Why does my child get more upset when I correct them during a meltdown?When your child is dysregulated, their nervous system is in survival mode. They're not refusing to listen because they're stubborn—they simply can't access the thinking part of their brain yet.Behavior is communication. That's why correcting, lecturing, or adding consequences in the middle of an emotional storm usually makes things worse instead of better.Key takeaways:A dysregulated brain can't learn new lessons.Correction during a meltdown increases resistance.Calming the brain must come first.Real-life example: Imagine asking your child to start homework. They yell, slam the door, and you respond with a stricter tone. Suddenly you're both escalating instead of solving the problem.Why do simple requests turn into huge power struggles?Many parents believe the problem is defiance. In reality, it's often timing.When both you and your child become emotionally activated, you're caught in a cycle of co-dysregulation. Neither nervous system is ready for learning, problem-solving, or cooperation.Instead of reacting:Pause before responding.Lower your voice instead of raising it.Say less, not more.Give both nervous systems time to settle.You're not failing as a parent. You've simply never been taught the right order.

Yesterday I was watering the goats in town, put fresh water in the trough, one of the does took a drink, and right after she drank, she did the flehmen response. That funny lip curl. No bucks around. Middle of July. Not breeding season. And I realized I didn't actually know what was going on. I thought I did. So, I looked it up. Today I want to tell you what the flehmen response actually is, because it turns out it's a lot more interesting than most of us think.

In this episode of Masters of Self University Podcast, Rachel Fiori breaks down a controversial but eye-opening perspective: the connection between narcissistic behavior and dark entity attachment.

For years, nutrition has sat awkwardly between personal responsibility and medical care: important enough for doctors to mention, but rarely supported like a real treatment plan. That gap is becoming harder to defend as diet-related diseases continue to strain patients, employers and the healthcare system. A study in JAMA Network Open found that expanding medically tailored meals in the U.S. could prevent an estimated 1.6 million hospitalizations a year, making the case that food can be more than general wellness advice — it can be part of how care is delivered.That raises the real question for healthcare leaders, employers and retailers: how do you turn food from a recommendation into a system of support?On I Don't Care, host Dr. Kevin Stevenson speaks with Adam DeVito, Founder and CEO of Monj Health, and Maggie Biscarr, a food-as-medicine subject matter expert, about whether food can play a more central role in prevention, healing and healthcare strategy. Their conversation covers the history of food-as-medicine, the behavioral barriers that make healthy eating difficult, the role of culinary skills and community, and why employers and retailers may be uniquely positioned to connect food, pharmacy and long-term health.What you'll learn...Food-as-medicine is having a moment because healthcare costs, chronic disease and GLP-1 demand are converging. Biscarr explains that employers and payers are recognizing that nutrition is not just a lifestyle issue, but a workforce health, productivity and cost issue.Behavior change is the missing link. DeVito argues that people do not “eat nutrition”; they eat food, flavor and comfort. Monj aims to make healthy eating joyful through cooking, confidence-building, behavioral science and community.The future may depend on connecting systems. The guests discuss opportunities for employers, retailers, pharmacies and food-as-medicine platforms to work together so people can access education, incentives and practical support where they already live, work and shop.Maggie Troope Biscarr is a food-as-medicine strategist and independent consultant working across the food, retail and healthcare sectors, with current roles including co-lead of the NOURISH Movement, subject matter expert with Clareo Partners, and lead of the GLP-1 Advisory Group for Georgetown's Portion Balance Coalition. She previously served as Director of Global Partnership Solutions at PepsiCo, where she built cross-sector partnerships focused on health, wellness, sustainability and consumer behavior change, including healthier-choice and recycling pilots with major retail partners. Earlier in her career, she led AARP Foundation's SNAP and nutrition incentive portfolios, including fruit and vegetable incentive and Food Rx programs, building on her MSW and long-standing focus on health equity and social drivers of health.Adam DeVito is the Founder and CEO of Monj Health, a food-is-medicine platform that uses behavioral science, technology and coaching to help address obesity, diabetes and metabolic health at scale. He has led innovation and growth across food, digital health, enterprise platforms, nutrition and play, including senior roles at Kraft Foods and Sterling-Rice Group, where his teams developed major new products and brand strategies for leading food and wellness companies. Earlier in his career, he trained in classical French cooking, co-authored a healthy cooking book series for Time Inc., and later became Kraft's first Executive Chef, helping develop DiGiorno Pizza and launch it into a $1 billion brand.

In spite of whatever ups and downs you've had on this planet ... whatever inconsistencies and broken promises you've lived or experienced from others ... no matter what the struggles ... we have a guarantee. It's Jesus. While the religions of the world (often including Christianity) will tend to focus on 'our' doing, our methods, our efforts and our good deeds to be seen by others—God made an oath with Himself that you and I can't invalidate. Therefore, neither can He—because He is the one true Promise Keeper. Behavior improvements are beneficial for us and those around us. But you are not identified by performance and what you're "doing for God." Our eternal redemption is not established on improvements but is based on 'being' perfect through an act that a Savior did for us. God will not relate to you on the basis of good or bad performance. On the other side of that coin, true peace and freedom will be more fully experienced when we stop relating to Him on the basis of our performance and begin to embrace our righteous identity that has been gifted to us by grace.

Captain James Fanell reports China is escalating physical violence against Philippine Navy personnel at Second Thomas Shoal, including "poking, prodding, and beating" sailors. Fanell explains this "petulant" behavior coincides with the 10th anniversary of a Hague ruling that invalidated China's maritime claims. Simultaneously, China and Russiaconducted joint live-fire drills in Japan's exclusive economic zone. These coordinated actions signal Beijing's intent to ignore international law and forcibly challenge the sovereignty of its neighbors. (13)LA

What if resistance in your school is not a sign of defiance, but a signal that something deeper needs attention?In this episode, Becca Silver shares a research-informed approach to understanding resistance in K-12 education and why it is often rooted in unmet needs rather than unwillingness to change. She explains how school leaders and instructional coaches can move from reacting to resistance to diagnosing it with more intention, clarity, and empathy. Becca also breaks down the five needs that shape whether educators are ready to engage with change: value, belonging, success, growth, and ownership.You'll hear practical strategies for responding to teacher resistance in ways that build trust, strengthen belief, and move initiatives forward. Becca also shares how leaders can shift from focusing on compliance and buy-in toward creating real ownership, along with the role of listening, curiosity, and targeted support in meaningful school improvement. Whether you lead a school, coach teachers, or support district initiatives, this conversation will help you better understand what resistance is telling you and how to respond in ways that truly support educators.About Becca Silver Becca Silver is a speaker, leadership trainer, Resistance Specialist, and author of The Resistance Solution: Why Educators Resist and What They Need Instead.

Morris Katz helped orchestrate Zohran Mamdani's historic victory and Graham Platner's ultimately disastrous run for Senate. It's quite a résumé  for a political consultant who is still in his 20s. Platner's implosion could prove particularly costly for Democrats. It may mean the difference between winning and losing a Senate majority. But before the rape accusation that ended his campaign, Platner had come out of nowhere to beat Janet Mills, the sitting governor of Maine, who was Chuck Schumer's hand-picked candidate. The lessons to take from that campaign remain angrily contested.  Katz, a senior adviser to Platner, has been central to many of the most attention-grabbing, populist campaigns in recent years: Besides Mamdani's New York mayoral upset, he worked on John Fetterman's 2022 Senate campaign and Dan Osborn's 2024 independent Senate run in Nebraska. He has figured something out about this political moment. Along the way, he has become a controversial figure himself. So what has he gotten right? And what has he learned from what he's gotten wrong?  This episode contains strong language. Ask Me Anything: We're going to be recording an “Ask Me Anything” episode soon.

ESPN fired Ryan Clark. Fired Jemele Hill. Sent Maria Taylor to NBC. They called it housecleaning. I call it the Emancipation Proclamation.
