In this episode, I answer two questions from Chloe in Georgia. First, I talk about how to navigate physical limitations or health issues—like pregnancy, illness, or injury—in the playroom without disrupting the child's experience or compromising the therapeutic relationship. I share how we can use age-appropriate truth and neutral language to explain changes in our engagement while still meeting the child's emotional needs. Then, I unpack Chloe's second question about the overwhelming environments many children face—particularly in daycares, preschools, and schools that are not developmentally appropriate. I offer encouragement and direction for how we, as CCPTs, can support overwhelmed parents and advocate for children when diagnoses are flying and schools are pushing labels. Our role is to trust the process, slow things down for families, and be unwavering in our presence and commitment to each child. This one's full of encouragement and clarity for anyone feeling frustrated or alone in this work. PlayTherapyNow.com is my HUB for everything I do! playtherapynow.com.

When a person becomes a Christian, there's a deep sense of relief; you're made right with God, forgiven of every sin, and promised heaven. That's absolutely amazing news for anyone who puts their faith in Jesus Christ alone! But believing is just the beginning of God's plan for us. Too often people stop there, without realizing that God wants our believing to lead to becoming all He's designed us to be. In this series, From Believing to Becoming, we'll look at the simple yet life-changing practices that help us grow as followers of Jesus, guided by the Lakeshore purposes (5 G's) of Grace, Growth, Groups, Gifts, and Giving to God.

How can one person fight for social justice? Can everyday people actually make changes in systemic, structural inequality? Social psychologist and author of the book Change the Wallpaper, Nilanjana Dasgupta offers science-driven answers to these questions, arguing that social shifts start with small changes to our “wallpaper,” or the things that we experience in our daily lives. In other words, we need to revise the hyperlocal cultures we live in to make broader change. Dasgupta believes that these small shifts in our cultural “wallpaper” are far more effective in producing structural change than through popular movements such as bias awareness training, symbolic proclamations, or even just relying on people's good intentions. By integrating a wide range of studies in psychology, neuroscience, education, sociology, economics, public health, urban studies, cultural geography, and even landscape architecture, Dasgupta shows how attitudes and beliefs are based on what we see and hear every day. They nudge our behavior to create or reinforce small inequalities that go unnoticed and ultimately accumulate over time. So, how do we change our wallpaper? By consciously disrupting these patterns and habits, Dasgupta argues, we can create opportunities for social mixing across lines of differences, allowing new relationships to form, and promoting a better understanding of others' experiences. These actions lead to organizing and larger social shifts. It's through these small changes in our daily lives, Dasgupta explains, that we can all work toward justice. Nilanjana Dasgupta, author of Change the Wallpaper, is Provost Professor of Psychology and inaugural Director of the Institute of Diversity Sciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. She is the author of many articles, the winner of the Hidden Bias Research Prize from the Kapor Foundation, and the recipient of multiple U.S. government research grants. Her work has been featured in the New York Times and other major outlets. Paula Boggs is the founder of Boggs Media LLC. A TEDx speaker, U.S. Army veteran, and musician, she previously served for a decade as Executive Vice President, General Counsel, and Secretary at Starbucks Corporation.

Bryce Steinberg is a development economist, which means she studies how lower-income countries grow into more prosperous ones. More specifically, she studies how to help people in low-income countries build their “human capital” — a phrase social scientists use to describe things like getting more formal education, more professional training, or improving your health.As she tells Dan Richards on this episode of Trending Globally, part of the answer is well-understood.“We have to build the schools, we have to build the clinics, we have to get the roads, get the infrastructure in place so that people can access these things,” Steinberg explains. However, decades of development policy has made clear that access alone doesn't solve the problem, and supplying communities with such resources doesn't necessarily mean people will use them. Why not? That's what Steinberg studies. On this episode, Richards talks with Steinberg about her research, which seeks to better understand what she calls the “demand-side” of development policy: What makes people actually use the services that are available to them, and how to remove the barriers that stand in their way. They also discuss how development policy has evolved over the last few decades and how, with the dismantling of USAID, it may be poised to change once again. Transcript coming soon to our website.

For months now, everyone's been talking about the Trump administration's One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) signed into law on July 4th of this year. At nearly 900 pages long, the OBBBA brings quite a few changes to U.S. tax laws. Though some of these changes are big, others, eh, not so big. But one thing's for sure, this law adds a new layer of complexity that could cause headaches for many taxpayers in the years ahead.

As The Grove Community Church kicks off its small group season, Pastor Craig Schill provides biblical perspective on the necessity of community.

In this energizing new episode, Dr. Dan sits down with physician, author, and podcaster Dr. Jordan Grumet (Doc G) to explore the difference between meaning and purpose—and how understanding this distinction can transform how we live, work, and love. During their insightful conversation, Dr. Dan and Doc G explore defining questions including: What does it truly mean to live a life of purpose? And why chasing big, audacious goals often leaves us feeling empty instead of fulfilled? Dr. Grumet shares his powerful and personal story from childhood loss and finding community in a small baseball card shop, to his career in medicine and his profound experiences as a hospice doctor. His insights reveal why most of us suffer from “purpose anxiety” and how embracing “little p purpose”—the small, process-oriented actions that light us up—can create joy, resilience, and authentic connection. Dr. Grumet's wisdom, work, and books (Taking Stock and The Purpose Code) remind us that purpose is not about proving our worth or chasing achievement—it's about choosing daily actions that energize us and connect us to others. If you've ever felt stuck, anxious about finding your purpose, or overwhelmed by life's expectations, this episode will inspire you to slow down, reflect, and embrace the small steps that lead to big change.

The Phillies could not sweep the Dodgers out in Los Angeles but after the week they've had no one seemed to mind. But also the playoff rotation for the Phillies seems to have been released and with Walker Buehler not listed as a potential starter could he make an impact out the bullpen?

A cup of green tea may not seem like much, but it's a reminder that small, consistent choices add up to big results. Just as we stack healthy habits to improve our well-being, we can stack professional habits to increase our odds of success. The power isn't in one move alone; it's in the collection of “percentage plays” we choose over time. In this quick, five-minute Pocket Sized Pep Talk, I'll show you how these percentage plays work not just for health, but for business, communication, and performance because it's never just one choice that makes the difference, it's the sum of them.

"Every community has different values, and every community should have different choices. And that's why local food is so important so that local communities and local farmers can decide what's most important to them and how they want to connect the people who grow our food with the people who are seeking nourishment." —Andy Naja-Riese "The health of our Farmers Market is really dependent upon the health of our farmers." —Tanner Keys   Wonder why local food sometimes costs more, or if it's really worth the effort to shop there? The real story behind farmers' markets is more complicated—and more important—than you might think. Andy Naja-Riese, CEO of the Agricultural Institute of Marin, and Tanner Keys, Cooperative Agreement Manager for the Islands of Remote Areas Regional Food Business Center, have spent years on the front lines of food access. Their work in California and Hawaii gives them a unique view on what it takes to make local food affordable, how certification and regulations shape what you see at the market, and why these markets matter for everyone. Listen in for honest talk about food prices, local farming, organic rules, food as medicine, and how farmers' markets are working to make healthy food available to all. You'll get practical insights, real solutions, and a fresh look at what's possible in your own community.

In this episode, I walk you through four powerful launch strategies - webinars, bootcamps, open houses, and paid workshops and explore the importance of aligning a launch with your business's unique needs. The centerpiece is the case study of Louise Miller's Make It Happen Club, where she and I designed the bespoke "Quiet Action, Big Impact" launch. It blends a challenge-style format with an open house approach to authentically reflect Louise's sense of calm and her audience's needs. Here's the thing: there's no such thing as a one-size-fits-all launch. If you want it to really stick and last you've got to pick a launch style that feels like you, speaks to what your people actually want, and suits what you're offering. Key Takeaways Don't Force It - Launch with Intention Your launch should feel authentic, not contrived. Launch formats like webinars or bootcamps only succeed when they naturally fit your style and audience dynamics. Four Core Launch Strategies Webinars — Educational, interactive, and great for feeding high-intent prospects Bootcamps — Intensive, immersive, and perfect for engagement and transformation Open House — Low-pressure peek behind the curtain; ideal for showcasing offerings Paid Workshops — Commitment-filtered sessions that lead to higher conversion rates The Case of Louise Miller's Make It Happen Club Louise's business thrives on calm, thoughtful planning. A typical webinar or bootcamp wouldn't reflect that. Instead, we partnered to create a hybrid launch called Quiet Action, Big Impact—a soft, intentional experience infused with mindful structure. Customize to Connect Matching your launch approach with your personal rhythm and your audience's needs doesn't just boost conversions—it sets the stage for an experience that feels meaningful and memorable. Craft with Clarity A strategic launch starts with clarity: Understand your strengths and style Know your audience's preferences Design with intention, not pressure Launch should reflect your values, not someone else's playbook LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED IN TODAY'S EPISODE Ep 339 - Re-defining Productivity and Reducing Overwhelm: Strategies for Success with Louise Miller  Connect with Louise Miller on Website Connect with Teresa on Website,

The climate doesn't care where emissions cuts come from; what matters is that the world transitions to renewable energy quickly and cheaply. If it's significantly cheaper to install solar panels in India than on a rooftop in California, then isn't that where they should be built? Similarly, transferring money directly to local people with the greatest stake in preserving their land can have outsized impact in conservation. Where does a climate dollar go furthest?  Guests: Kinari Webb, Founder, Health in Harmony Premal Shah, Founder, kiva.org, renewables.org  Nathaniel Stinnett, Founder and Executive Director, Environmental Voter Project Highlights: 00:00 – Intro 04:30 – Origins of Kinari Webb's nonprofit Health in Harmony 09:00 – Rainforests as lungs and heart of the planet 12:00 – Radical listening to communities about what they need 15:00 – Positive outcomes from responding to community needs directly 18:00 – Webb's near-death experience from a jellyfish sting 22:00 – Rainforest conservation as a giant climate lever 29:00 – Premal Shah describes how he came to create Kiva.org 32:00 – How Kiva.org works 35:30 – Thought experiment from moral philosopher Peter Singer 38:40 – Kiva tries to reframe stories of poverty as stories of entrepreneurship 41:00 – Applying crowdfunded microfinance model to renewable energy 46:00 – Idea of “effective altruism” 49:30 – Nathaniel Stinnett: we've been taught to blame ourselves for the climate crisis 53:00 – How to shift public actions to make climate more political  For show notes and related links, visit https://www.climateone.org/watch-and-listen/podcasts *** Support Climate One by going ad-free!
