La directive européenne sur la transparence sur les salaires doit être déclinée et mise en œuvre dans chaque pays à partir du 7 juin. Mais seuls deux pays sont prêts. Nous serons en reportage en Autriche où les écarts dans l'industrie restent criants. Nous serons aussi au Kosovo où la question du port du voile à l'école revient dans le débat.

En France, où les femmes gagnent près de 22% de moins que les hommes en moyenne, et 4% à emploi égal, le gouvernement espère remettre sa copie au Parlement courant juin, mais le texte ne satisfait ni les syndicats ni le patronat. Vienne n'est pas non plus dans les clous. En Autriche aussi, les femmes sont toujours moins payées à emploi égal mais les stéréotypes de genre restent aussi très présents dans le choix des métiers. C'est particulièrement le cas dans l'industrie, alors que Vienne aimerait redynamiser le secteur en manque de main-d'œuvre. Reportage Céline Béal.   1936 : à côté des progrès sociaux, l'échec de la politique coloniale  Le 4 juin 1936, la coalition menée par le socialiste Léon Blum formait le gouvernement du Front populaire. Les congés payés, la semaine de 40h ou encore les conventions collectives ont vu le jour le même mois. Le site RFI Connaissances nous rappelle que la période a été riche d'innovations dans d'autres domaines : elle a posé par exemple les bases du Festival de Cannes, et mis en place de larges campagnes de prévention de la tuberculose. Trois femmes sont au gouvernement, un signe fort de Léon Blum alors que le Sénat bloque leur accès au vote. En la matière comme pour le soutien à apporter aux Républicains espagnols plongés dans la Guerre civile, le bilan est controversé.

Episode 77 of the Unspoken Words podcast features Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum and Dr. Jenna Blum exploring the Look, Listen, and Learn framework — a structured approach that teaches parents, educators, and treatment professionals to understand what children communicate through behavior, body language, and silence.The episode explores why observation matters more than focusing solely on speech — how a child's posture, facial expressions, and setting-specific communication patterns reveal the true underlying causes of mutism. Through real-world examples — a nine-year-old who clings to mom at family gatherings, and a school-age child who speaks at recess but shuts down during academics — they demonstrate how the same shutdown can signal different things: sensory overload, learning challenges, anxiety, or hidden ADHD.The heart of the episode turns to practical application: using Look-Listen-Learn to identify contributing factors, understanding your child's baseline on the Social Communication Bridge®, and why functional assessment reveals what behavioral strategies alone cannot address. They discuss intensive programs like CommuniCamp, where clinicians observe children across real settings to build effective, individualized treatment plans.The episode closes on a powerful reminder: children with SM are communicating constantly — we just need to learn their language.--Chapters: (03:45) How Body Language, Facial Expressions, and Posture Reveal What Your Child Needs(10:09) How Sensory Overload, Academic Pressure, and Anxiety Show Up in Different Settings(27:49) Why Your Child May Speak in One Place But Not Another—And What It Means(46:20) Distinguishing Selective Mutism From ADHD, Learning Challenges, and Autism Traits(49:27) How Look, Listen, and Learn Guides Assessment, Accommodations, and Real Progress- ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: https://selectivemutismcenter.org/resources/ Ask Dr. E a question of your own! Learn more about the host, Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum Explore our SMart Center success stories! Get started at the SMart Center Listen to other Unspoken Words episodes here. For the best clips from every episode, follow the podcast on Instagram & YouTube Learn more about CommuniCamp, our 3+ day intensive group treatment and ALL DAY parent training & support programLearn more about our 6-week, virtual social skills series, which are skills-based groups designed to help children, teens, & young adults build social communication, comfort, and connection with similar aged-peers in a supportive setting.- For all podcast inquiries, please contact Dakota Hornak at ⁠dhornak@selectivemutismcenter.org⁠ This podcast was produced and published by New Edition Productions (neweditionconsulting.com)

What does it mean to grow up saved—and then spend your career studying how race, religion, and power have always been tangled together in the west? Christy sits down with Ed J. Blum, historian of Ideas, to find out. From his evangelical upbringing in suburban New Jersey to his landmark scholarship on W.E.B. Du Bois, Ed traces the through-line between personal faith and intellectual obsession. He and Christy swap stories of religious intensity— her family's fervor (at least on Easter), his Mission work, and the complicated questions both raised about belonging and poverty. Ed also pulls back the curtain on his forthcoming book, which uncovers surprising data about racial categorization in Revolutionary-era America. And somehow, it all ends with a pollinator.

By the end of the 1880s, Dunbar was one of the most respected and influential members of Portland's business community, and a member of the Arlington Club. But all was not well with him. It's not clear what happened to push Dunbar over the edge into industrial-scale criminal enterprise. It may have been the death of his wife. It may also have been the influence of Nat Blum, a flamboyant cigar-store owner who was a junior partner in Merchants Steamship Co. Or maybe he was criminally inclined all along, believing on a philosophical level that the U.S. government had no right to tell him what he could and could not do with his steamships. Or, maybe he just hated waste. After all, nobody in Portland was buying shiploads of Chinese goods; each time one of his steamships left Portland, loaded with grain bound for buyers in China, it had to sail back home in ballast. Not only was the return trip wasted, but Dunbar had to pay draymen to load and unload the ballast rocks that would keep the ship stable and safe. We can imagine him thinking about this: What cargo could I bring from China to Portland, on the return voyages, after bringing wheat from Portland to China? And we can imagine him realizing that there were two cargoes that would be extremely lucrative for him: People, and opium.

Episode 76 of the Unspoken Words podcast features Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum and Dr. Jenna Blum tackling one of the most misunderstood realities of Selective Mutism — the difficult behaviors that so often surface alongside it. Meltdowns, shutdowns, avoidance, and controlling moments leave many parents exhausted, and Dr. E and Dr. Jenna make the case that none of these behaviors are defiance. They are communication.Dr. E and Dr. Jenna explore why so many children with SM hold it together at school and fall apart at home, and why structure, consistency, routine, and predictability are non-negotiable for any anxious child. Through real case examples — a six-year-old hiding under the table at her own birthday party, a teen retreating to his room when relatives visit, a young client frozen in front of a beloved family friend — they walk through the four types of difficult behaviors and what each is trying to say.The middle of the episode turns to practical strategy: the Look-Listen-Learn framework, the roadmap method for preparing children before overwhelming events, and bridging down on the Social Communication Bridge® so kids build comfort before words. They also dig into the underlying contributors that drive dysregulation — sensory sensitivities, ADHD, hunger, fatigue, and the parent's own agenda.The episode closes on the feelings chart — a deceptively simple tool that gives children numerical language for emotions they can't yet explain — and on the truth that parents are the most critical component in their child's progress. Dr. E previews a Part Two with more strategies for navigating the big feelings behind the silence.--Chapters: (04:06) When Silence Feels Big: Why Kids with SM Hold It Together at School and Fall Apart at Home(10:55) Behavior Is a Signal, Not Defiance: Reframing Outbursts Through Look, Listen, Learn(17:07) The Roadmap and the Bridge: How Preparation Prevents Avoidance and Shutdown(29:44) On the Lookout: Using Cognition and Real-World Goals to Outsmart the Freeze Response(38:00) The Feelings Chart: Giving Kids Words for What They Can't Yet Explain- ADDITIONAL RESOURCES: https://selectivemutismcenter.org/resources/ Ask Dr. E a question of your own! Learn more about the host, Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum Explore our SMart Center success stories! Get started at the SMart Center Listen to other Unspoken Words episodes here. For the best clips from every episode, follow the podcast on Instagram & YouTube Learn more about CommuniCamp, our 3+ day intensive group treatment and ALL DAY parent training & support programLearn more about our 6-week, virtual social skills series, designed to help children, teens, & young adults build social communication, comfort, and connection with similar aged-peers in a supportive setting.- For all podcast inquiries, please contact Dakota Hornak at ⁠dhornak@selectivemutismcenter.org⁠ This podcast was produced and published by New Edition Productions (neweditionconsulting.com)

Episode 75 of the Unspoken Words podcast features Dr. Elisa Shipon-Blum and Dr. Jenna Blum answering some of the most commonly submitted listener questions received at the SMart Center — covering peer engagement, school transitions, and a topic that doesn't get nearly enough airtime: grief.Dr. E and Dr. Jenna tackle why children with SM can speak freely at home yet go completely silent around peers, break down the critical difference between responding and initiating, and make the case for why facilitation — not waiting — is the most important thing parents and school professionals can do. Through real case examples, they illustrate how pairing children around high-interest activities like chess clubs and baking projects creates the comfort and connection that must come before communication can follow.The second half turns to grief — specifically, how to process the sadness of not having received proper SM treatment as a child, and what it feels like to watch younger generations succeed while carrying the weight of years of ineffective therapy. Dr. E and Dr. Jenna offer clinical perspective and genuine reassurance, and introduce gratitude journaling as a practical tool for shifting focus from deficits to wins.The episode closes with a timely reminder that the end of the school year is the right time to start planning for the next one — from 504 and IEP updates, to summer peer pairings, to building transitions — and why the tone parents bring to that process matters more than they may realize.--Chapters: (03:23) Introducing the Initiation Gap and Why Facilitation Can't Wait(08:53) How High-Interest Activities Build the Comfort and Connection That Precedes Communication(18:03) What If My Life Had Been Different?

At the age of sixty, Alex Blum made a life-altering discovery: he was the eldest of four biological brothers he never knew existed. Born in 1955, Blum had always known he was adopted, yet the secrecy of the era kept every detail of his origins sealed. Without a court order, he spent decades without a single clue about where he came from—or why he had been given up. Raised by a wealthy family on Manhattan's Upper East Side, Blum grew up surrounded by privilege but plagued by a deep sense of disconnection. He often felt out of place and emotionally unmoored, longing for a sense of belonging that never arrived. Having built a career helping others tell their stories—first for brands as a commercial producer and then as a feature film producer with credits including Behind Enemy Lines and Flight of the Phoenix for 20th Century Fox—Blum finally turns the camera on himself in An Accident of Birth. More than a memoir of adoption and reunion, An Accident of Birth explores the universal emotional landscape shared by adoptees everywhere. With candid, affecting prose, Blum examines the pressures of “adoptee gratitude,” the quiet ache of alienation, and the lifelong search for identity, connection, and home.

Hello! In this seriously helpful episode, I sit down with therapist Stevie Blum for a conversation that will feel deeply familiar to anyone who looks like they have it together on the outside, but feels completely overwhelmed on the inside. Stevie works with high-functioning women who are capable, successful, and seemingly calm - but internally are stuck in cycles of overthinking, self-doubt, and constant mental pressure. She introduces the concept of the "SWAN" (Successful Women Appearing Normal), and explains why so many women today are quietly exhausted from living in their heads. Together we unpack the gap between awareness and actual change, why traditional therapy can sometimes leave us feeling stuck, and what's really happening in the brain when we spiral. Stevie shares practical, tangible tools to help interrupt anxious thought patterns, move out of analysis into action, and build real self-trust. We also get into jealousy and comparison as signals rather than flaws, how to stop judging your emotions, and what it looks like to create your own "Personal Operating Manual" for a calmer, more aligned life. Thank you so much Stevie!
