If your child is struggling in school, melting down over homework, falling behind in reading, zoning out in class, or constantly overwhelmed, it can leave you feeling unsure of what to do next. You know they're bright. You know they're trying. But something isn't clicking. In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Kimberly Hinman, a licensed psychologist and owner of Bloom Testing, a Kansas City–based practice specializing in high quality psychoeducational, neuropsychological, and autism evaluations for children, teens, and adults. What You'll Hear in This Episode In this conversation, we talk about what it really looks like to pursue clarity when a child is struggling including: The earliest signs a child may be struggling academically, behaviorally, or emotionally The biggest misconceptions about ADHD, autism, and learning difference How to tell the difference between typical development and something that needs evaluation What a psychoeducational evaluation actually is and what it can reveal The difference between school testing and private testing What testing day feels like for a child and how to support anxious or sensitive kid How results translate into real support, including IEPs, 504 plans, and school accommodations What to say to parents who worry about labeling their child First steps to take if you think your child may need testing Dr. Hinman reminds us that struggling in school doesn't mean a child isn't smart- it means we haven't figured out what's getting in the way. A good evaluation doesn't label a child; it explains their experience. Testing isn't about a diagnosis. It's about a roadmap. If you've ever felt that quiet nudge that something feels off, this episode is for you.

She relocated to Kansas City in 2020 and has since built strong relationships with local pediatricians, therapists, and schools. As both a clinician and a mom herself, she brings warmth, clarity, and practicality to the families she serves. Dr. Hinman now carries forward the legacy of Bloom Testing's founder, the late Dr. Dawn Bloom, whose compassionate, evidence-based approach made a significant impact in the community. Today, she honors that foundation while expanding the practice's services-including a growing focus on learning differences, ADHD assessments, psychoeducational testing, and comprehensive autism evaluations.

After a wild few weeks, Nikki & Brie are back on the mics, just the two of them. And there's so much to catch up about. From food poisoning and feeling like they had mono to realizing that their 20-year-old recovery days are officially behind them, the twins get real about burnout and listening to your body when it's screaming “rest.” They also dive into their Valentine's Day details, why they're not stressing about Super Bowl landing on February 14 next year, and the sweet and sometimes chaotic magic of motherhood. From Matteo's whale-watching adventure and Cathay Pacific obsession to Buddy's umbrella chivalry and Birdie giving up Taylor Swift for Lent, it's a full family catch-up with an unexpected grammar debate about “fish vs. fishes.” As they reflect on evolution, quiet eras, horsepower energy, and what it means to bloom where you're planted, Nikki & Brie leave you with a reminder to protect your peace and choose environments that water you instead of run you dry.

Small Seed, Big Bloom | A Sermon on Hidden Faith and God's Surprising Work What if the kingdom of heaven is already growing — quietly and invisibly — within us? In Small Seed, Big Bloom, guest preacher Rev. Cecelia D. Armstrong, Co-Moderator of the PC(USA) General Assembly, reflects on Matthew 13:31–33, where Jesus compares the kingdom of heaven to a mustard seed: small, easily overlooked, yet capable of transforming everything around it. Preached on February 22, 2026, at First Presbyterian Church of Charlotte, this sermon invites us to look beyond expectations of rapid growth or visible success and instead pay attention to what God may be nurturing beneath the surface. Rather than focusing only on dramatic expansion, this message asks a deeper question: What is hidden within you that God is waiting to bring to life? In this sermon, we reflect on: The surprising and sometimes disruptive nature of God's kingdom Why faith does not always grow in predictable ways How God works through what is unseen and unexpected Discovering the gifts and calling hidden within us Trusting that small seeds of faith can lead to transformative change As we journey through Lent, this sermon invites quiet introspection — noticing what God has already planted within us and allowing that hidden seed of faith to grow for the sake of our community and the world.

Tom Ackerman talks with Cardinals President of Baseball Operations Chaim Bloom after the first spring training game about early impressions from camp and the competition taking shape. Bloom discusses Matthew Liberatore's outing, Quinn Matthews' stuff, and how Kyle Leahy has put himself in the mix for a rotation spot after stretching out as a starter. He also provides injury updates on Riley O'Brien and highlights prospects and depth pieces making impressions, including Luis Gastelum, Nathan Church, and Thomas Saggese. Bloom explains the addition of Ramón Urías as a versatile right-handed infield bat, the club's focus on improving defense behind young pitching, and how players like Fermín and Saggese could factor into outfield depth. He emphasizes that spring is about evaluating workloads, versatility, and who can help shape a roster built around developing young arms and stronger team defense.

This is the second in our two-part series shining a light on Epstein survivors and their real-life stories. In this episode, Mark Lobel is joined by civil rights attorney Lisa Bloom, who represents many of Epstein's victims. Bloom reveals how she has recently been approached by new potential clients in the wake of the recent release of yet more documents from the Epstein Files. She calls Epstein “one of the most prolific sexual predators the world has ever seen”. She discusses why the American Justice system has not helped the powerless achieve justice against the rich and powerful. She explains how this needs to be fixed. As Mark and Lisa Order the Disorder, she outlines what justice would look like for the Epstein victims and how we as a world can improve how we acheive justice for victims of grooming and sexual abuse. Lisa proposes the concrete step of advocating for a blanket ban on the statute of limitations for sexual abuse.   To join our Mega Orderers Club, and get ad free listening, early episode releases, bonus content and exclusive access to live events, visit https://disorder.supportingcast.fm/ Producer: George McDonagh Subscribe to our Substack - https://natoandtheged.substack.com/ Disorder on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@DisorderShow Show Notes Links: For more on Lisa and her work visit: https://thebloomfirm.com/lawyer/lisa-bloom/  READ: Chuck Schumer's Floor Remarks Introducing Virginia's Law To Help Provide Justice For Survivors Of Abuse https://www.democrats.senate.gov/news/press-releases/leader-schumer-floor-remarks-introducing-virginias-law-to-help-provide-justice-for-survivors-of-abuse   READ: Todd Blanche says review of Jeffrey Epstein sex-trafficking case ‘is over' https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/01/epstein-files-todd-blanche-deputy-ag  READ: Epstein files reference 'nine-year-old victim' in disturbing unredacted emails seen by lawmakers https://www.standard.co.uk/news/world/unredacted-epstein-files-girl-9-mention-emails-b1270395.html  The theatrical play 'Here There are Blueberries' discussed on the show: https://www.stratfordeast.com/whats-on/all-shows/here-there-are-blueberries  READ: Melinda French Gates References a 'Reckoning as a Society' over Bill Gates Epstein Claims https://www.yahoo.com/entertainment/celebrity/articles/melinda-french-gates-references-reckoning-180726489.html  You can get in touch with Mark, to host or speak at your event here: https://www.mark-lobel.com/getintouch  Learn more about your ad choices.

You already know how to write learning objectives. You reference Bloom's taxonomy. You understand Moore's outcomes framework. But here's the real question:When you write a learning objective, can you clearly identify the two to three specific clinical tasks that must happen for that objective to be achieved?In this episode—based on a webinar I participated in with the Good CME Practice Group—we go deeper than frameworks. We unpack what actually sits underneath a learning objective and how that layer determines whether your CME changes practice… or simply delivers information.What We Explore in This EpisodeWhy learning objectives are signposts—not the design itselfHow to break each objective into 2–3 concrete clinical tasksThe role of workflow, format, and audience context in determining granularityHow learning science (cognitive load, retrieval practice, feedback) strengthens action-focused designWhere CME programs most commonly lose alignment between need, content, assessment, and outcomesKey TakeawayIf you can't name the specific clinical actions required to meet an objective, the content won't drive behavior change.Design lives underneath the objective.Next StepIf this episode resonated, try this:Take one learning objective from a current project and ask:What are the two or three specific clinical actions underneath it?Where do those actions appear in the content?Where are they assessed?That exercise alone will elevate your design work.And if you want structured practice applying this level of thinking—with feedback, live coaching, and a community of CME professionals—explore WriteCME Pro.This is where writers become design partners.ResourcesGood CME Practice GroupMentioned in this episode:AI Practice LabBuild a Practical, Safe, Repeatable AI-assisted Workflow in Just 4 Weeks.

Gifted doesn't mean easy, and it certainly doesn't mean perfect. With gifted educator and 2e advocate Erin Vanek, we dig into what giftedness actually looks like day to day: lightning-fast connections, rich vocabulary, and inventive solutions alongside emotional intensity, executive function gaps, and meltdowns over the smallest snag. We share the language that helps—neurodivergent, twice exceptional, asynchronous development—and the practical moves that turn tension into traction for bright kids who think differently.We talk through why “definitions” of giftedness vary wildly across schools, and how that confusion leaves many families feeling isolated or dismissed. Erin explains how to spot authentic strengths—rapid learning with fewer repetitions, cross-domain links, divergent thinking—and how to honor them without feeding perfectionism. When a child refuses to show work or challenges a one-right-way method, we model how to teach the why, offer real choice, and compare solution paths for efficiency. If big feelings take over, you'll hear a simple re-engagement technique that brings the prefrontal cortex back online so problem-solving can start again.For homeschoolers and parents looking for ways to support their child after school, we map a path that values depth over speed. Instead of racing up grade levels, go lateral: invent operations, flip number orders, and use Bloom's higher levels to analyze and create. Protect reading joy by pairing accessible texts with deep conversations about character, structure, and theme. And leverage games as a secret classroom for cognitive flexibility, planning, patience, and losing well—ending early when needed and debriefing with curiosity. The takeaway is freeing: gifted is not better or worse, just different. When we stop measuring worth by acceleration and start nurturing thinking, resilience, and engagement, our kids learn to thrive on their terms.If this conversation helped, follow and share the show, leave a quick review, and subscribe to our newsletter at TheBrainyMoms.com for more smart, usable tools.ABOUT US:The Brainy Moms is a parenting podcast hosted by cognitive psychologist Dr. Amy Moore and Sandy Zamalis.

In this episode, @Joli.artist confronts the revelations emerging from the Epstein files and calls on listeners to reclaim their power in a world run by forces that depend on our collective silence and inaction.Joli dismantles the narrative that "nothing is going to happen," exposing it as deliberate psychological programming designed to keep people disempowered. She draws on evolutionary biology, the nature of cancer cells, and even goat farming to illustrate why antisocial elements must be removed from any functioning system, and why good people are not the exception but the biological norm.From the Milgram experiments to the French Revolution, Joli traces humanity's long history of exile as a survival mechanism, arguing that what we're witnessing today is no different. She challenges listeners to stop treating passivity as goodness, reject the "turn the other cheek" conditioning, and start putting points on the scoreboard for good, beginning with defending themselves.The episode builds toward a profound exploration of how perception shapes reality, drawing on the placebo and nocebo effects, Robert Anton Wilson's work, and the podcast's core thesis that we are living in a simulation that responds to what we hold in our minds.••Earth Is Presently Sick. We Must Become the Immune System. https://medium.com/@joli.artist/earth-is-presently-sick-we-must-become-the-immune-system-5bde9e0d4ad3 ••Key Insights from this Episode:• The Scoreboard of Good vs Evil: Joli reframes daily life as a simulation where every act of courage or cowardice tips the scales, and doing nothing when you witness harm is a point scored for evil.• Be Good With Teeth: Drawing from her own experience, Joli argues that kindness without boundaries enables abuse to spread, and that true goodness requires the willingness to fight back.• Cancer Cell Theory of Evil: Pedophiles, predators, and narcissists are not just bad people; they are cancerous cells in the human organism that must be identified and removed for the body to survive.• The Mind as Weapon and Shield: From placebo effects to collective meditation reducing crime rates, Joli makes the case that your mind is the most powerful tool you have, and that it is actively being weaponized against you.• Bloom in Hell: In a world designed to exhaust and demoralize, your existence and your actions matter right now, not in a thousand years. Be beautiful in spite of the dystopia, because that beauty is what inspires others to wake up.

High-achieving women don't struggle with motivation. We struggle with permission. In this episode of the Intentional Queen Podcast, Jineen breaks down why burnout doesn't start with a breakdown — it starts with self-abandonment. If you are the strong one… The dependable one… The one who always pushes through… This conversation is for you. You'll learn: • Why rest is not something you "earn" • The hidden belief that drives high-functioning burnout • How self-leadership impacts every area of your life • Why choosing yourself is strategic — not selfish • Simple shifts that prevent silent erosion of capacity Jineen also unpacks how this connects to her BLOOM™ framework and why belief is the foundation of sustainable leadership. Because leadership does not fail from lack of effort. It fails when self-sacrifice is mistaken for strength. If you have ever said "I'm fine" while feeling completely depleted inside, this episode will challenge you to rethink what strength really looks like. Cheers to 2nd book anniversary!!

What if burnout isn't a failure… but a signal?In this episode of The Jen Keller Show, Jen shares her personal experience with burnout—not from a place of collapse, but from clarity. This conversation is about learning to live a full, meaningful life without burning it all down.Jen opens up about loving her life and still feeling stretched, being deeply seen but not truly known, numbing through productivity and socially acceptable habits, and the health wake-up call that forced her to slow down. She explores nervous system regulation, the cost of carrying too much for too long, and why the search for the “next big thing” often pulls us further away from the rhythm we actually need.This episode is for high-capacity humans—men and women who lead, serve, care deeply, and want to grow without losing themselves along the way.If you've ever thought, “I just thought it would be better than this,” this episode is an invitation to pause, listen, and begin again.Because burnout isn't the end of the story.A life in bloom is still possible.In a world where being perfect seems to be the goal- - it's important that we know who's we are & who we are. We aren't called to be perfect - we are called to be better today than yesterday! - that's it. It doesn't have to be quantum leaps, in fact I believe that in the day to day -our little steps in the right directions! I am on a mission to help women become more of who they were created to be and less of who they were told to be.

Rob Bloom, creative director for Universal theme parks, shares his journey living with a stutter that shaped his entire life and career. He reveals how hiding his stutter for 30 years meant ordering food he didn't want, watching movies he didn't choose, and avoiding authentic self-expression. Paradoxically, stuttering forced him to become creative early—making videos for school presentations instead of speaking. Bloom explains the three coping strategies for stutterers (openly stuttering, blocking, or hiding), why hiding leads to inauthenticity, and how he eventually embraced his stutter. His story demonstrates how perceived limitations can become creative advantages and why vulnerability is essential for genuine connection. Hosted on Acast.

Growth may be booming across Georgia, yet getting new housing approved often feels like running an obstacle course designed by politics, not policy. Simon Bloom, founding partner of Bloom Parham LLP, joins Host Carol Morgan on the Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio podcast to pull back the curtain on the zoning battles shaping what gets built, where and at what cost. During this episode on “Unbridled Politics,” he will discuss the political and procedural challenges shaping zoning and land use in Georgia. Drawing on decades of experience representing builders and developers, he explains why projects often get caught in red tape, why build-to-rent (BTR) housing is targeted and how Georgia's fragmented local government contributes to inefficiency and higher housing costs. How Politics and Public Input Affect Development Bloom emphasized that zoning decisions in Georgia are driven less by technical merit than by politics: “If a politician or public official wants your project, it’s going to go forward,” said Bloom. “And if he or she doesn’t, it isn’t. The merits sometimes get lost in just a matter of pure politics.” Developers face a range of hurdles, from rezoning denials to conditional-use permits and administrative slowdowns. Routine actions, such as delaying final plats or withholding building permits, can derail projects entirely. Litigation is sometimes necessary, not as a first resort, but to ensure local governments follow proper procedures. Public opposition adds another layer of complexity. Organized neighborhood groups and homeowners now have unprecedented access to local meetings through streaming platforms and social media. While this transparency increases accountability, it can also make officials more cautious, further complicating development efforts. Why Build-to-Rent Projects Face Extra Hurdles Build-to-rent (BTR) projects face particular scrutiny, even as the demand for affordable rental housing continues to grow. “The cities and counties that say they need affordable housing are doing everything in their power to make it unaffordable and causing gentrification,” said Bloom. “They are driving the folks that they want to be living in their communities out into ‘the sticks.'” Part of the paradox lies in administrative inefficiencies and local mandates that increase cost and complexity. For example, some counties require side-entry garages in high-density developments—a design choice that increases lot sizes and, in turn, raises prices for buyers and renters. Add to that the need for detailed engineering studies, repeated public hearings and permit fees, and BTR builders and developers face substantial “chase costs” long before construction begins. Legislative solutions to streamline zoning and clarify local requirements have progressed slowly. Efforts to limit local control over architectural standards or to prevent bans on BTR have made modest gains. State lawmakers often consider input from local governments, which influences the pace and scope of reforms. Meanwhile, impact fees—sometimes adding thousands of dollars to individual projects—remain a factor that can increase costs and create differences across communities. On a larger scale, Bloom identifies Georgia's large number of local governments as a source of inefficiency. The state has 159 counties and 500 cities, each with separate planning departments, zoning boards and codes. This patchwork of rules forces engineers, lawyers and developers to navigate vastly different requirements across municipalities, slowing housing production and driving up costs. Navigating the Zoning Landscape Bloom encourages builders and developers to engage early with district commissioners or council members and maintain transparent communication with neighbors and planning staff. Understanding how “district-friendly” voting works, where council members often follow the lead of their district commissioner, can help projects move forward more efficiently. Bloom said, “Without your district commissioner championing your rezoning, your chances of success are much lower.” Tune in to the full episode to hear Simon Bloom discuss how politics and local regulations shape Georgia housing zoning and to learn what builders and developers can do to navigate these challenges.

In This Episode: On this Super Bowl 61 edition of The Audible, Cecil Lammey and Sigmund Bloom deliver the definitive preview of Seahawks vs. Patriots — a matchup loaded with storylines, pressure, and two completely different paths to the big game. Seattle brings a world‑class, suffocating defense that has bullied elite quarterbacks all season, but can they actually shut down Drake Maye, the rookie phenom who has carried New England to the brink of a championship. Then the guys flip to the other sideline: Sam Darnold, the former first‑rounder turned journeyman, now one win away from rewriting his entire NFL legacy. Can he go from "what could've been" to Super Bowl champion. And how does Seattle structure an offense around him that can survive Bill Belichick's successor and a Patriots defense built to confuse. Cecil and Bloom also break down how the Patriots offense can move the ball with Maye — quick game, tempo, Rhamondre Stevenson, and the matchup advantages New England must lean on to keep the rookie upright.
