Does your child insist that only Mom can do bedtime? And they refuse to let Dad put them to bed? Parent preference at bedtime is incredibly common, especially during the toddler and preschool years. But while it's normal, that doesn't mean you have to accept a situation where only one parent can handle bedtime every night. In this episode, Allison explains why children develop a strong preference for one parent at bedtime and, more importantly, exactly how to help your child become comfortable with both parents doing bedtime. Allison shares a simple approach that she has seen work repeatedly with families, and says that many children begin to adjust within about a week when parents consistently follow the plan. In this episode, you'll learn: Why a child may strongly prefer one parent at bedtime Why parent preference does not mean your child loves the other parent less Why solving this issue can benefit the entire family How to establish a simple alternating bedtime schedule Why the parent whose turn it is should handle the entire bedtime routine from start to finish Why having both parents participate in bedtime can sometimes make the struggle worse What to say when your child protests or has a meltdown Why the preferred parent should not rescue the other parent during a difficult bedtime How to respond calmly while allowing your child to have big feelings Why the first few bedtimes may be rough, and why consistency matters How keeping the bedtime routine consistent between parents can help What to do if the bedtime struggle seems to involve more than just parent preference Chapter Markers: 00:00 – Allison's Maine & Acadia trip update 02:36 – When your child only wants one parent at bedtime 03:20 – Why parent preference at bedtime is completely normal 04:45 – Why it's worth helping your child accept both parents 06:05 – The key strategy: Take turns doing bedtime 07:25 – Why one parent should do the entire bedtime routine 08:35 – How to introduce the new bedtime plan 09:30 – What to say when your child protests 10:25 – Let the big feelings happen and keep moving 11:05 – Why the other parent shouldn't "rescue" bedtime 12:30 – How to handle a major bedtime meltdown 14:00 – Expect a few bumpy nights 15:15 – How quickly children usually adjust 16:10 – Keep the bedtime routine consistent between parents 17:00 – The one-week plan for ending parent preference 18:05 – When to seek additional help with bedtime struggles 18:40 – Final thoughts on parent preference at bedtime If you're in the middle of the "ONLY MOM!" or "ONLY DAD!" bedtime trenches, this episode will give you a practical plan for getting out of them.

What would it take to reopen a 2,000-year-old water system that's sat behind a line since Oslo?That's the question behind the final episode of our Border series.Fifteen minutes south of Jerusalem, in the town of Efrat, a group gathers that doesn't come together often: a Member of Knesset, IDF officers, a rabbi, the mayor, a filmmaker - pulled together in under 48 hours to walk into Solomon's Pools.Together, we trace the pools back to the Book of Ruth, stand where an Iranian missile struck just over a mile away, and hear how a mapping decision during Oslo quietly put a biblical landmark out of reach. The conversation moves from Bethlehem's disappearing Christian community to a restoration vision that could open this site back up - and to a Member of Knesset's case for why it matters now.Beyond the border in Syria. Along the border in Gaza. Within the border, here in Efrat. This is the one that goes inside.Key TakeawaysWhy Solomon's Pools have sat inaccessible since the Oslo Accords.How the pools connect to the Book of Ruth and Solomon's own vision for the Temple.What happened a mile from this site during the April 2024 Iranian missile attack.The mapping decision that put a biblical landmark on the wrong side of a line.Why Bethlehem's Christian community is disappearing under PA rule.What a real restoration of the site would take - and what it would cost.A sitting Member of Knesset's case for sovereignty in Judea and Samaria.Chapter Markers 00:00 – The group gathers in Efrat 04:26 – Walking in: the Book of Ruth and Solomon's vision 10:56 – Inside Ohad Tal's home, the Iranian missile strike 14:58 – The Oslo mapping mistake 17:43 – Bethlehem's vanishing Christians 22:54 – Meet Lt.

Is Burnout an Individual or Organisational Problem? (Feed Drop: Fried: The Burnout Podcast) In this special summer feed drop, we're taking a short break from our regular format to bring you a conversation from a show we genuinely love and listen to: Fried: The Burnout Podcast, hosted by the brilliant Cait Donovan! In this episode, Cait puts our very own Chartered Occupational Psychologist, Leanne Elliott, in the hot seat. They dive deep into the messy, nuanced reality of workplace culture, systemic stress, and employee wellbeing. Cait doesn't let Leanne off lightly, challenging her on everything from the validity of psychometric tests to where manager training fails and where individual responsibility ends and organizational responsibility begins. If you've ever wondered why workplace stress persists despite wellness initiatives, or how we can build truly supportive work environments, this honest, no-bullshit discussion is for you.

Most people only see the front end of fintech. The app. The card. The payment. But underneath that experience is an enormous amount of infrastructure and some of fintech's biggest opportunities are hiding there.Rory O'Reilly, cofounder and CEO of Knot, joined me on the pod to talk about how Knot is rewiring fintech and transforming financial connectivity.We dive into:Why keeping a card “top of wallet” is harder than it sounds.The infrastructure required to connect financial institutions with thousands of merchants.Why security and compliance are foundational, not afterthoughts, in fintech.Where blockchain and stablecoins could fit into the financial stack.Rory's unconventional path from selling shoes with his family to building fintech companies with his brother.What I particularly enjoyed about this conversation is that Knot is tackling a problem most consumers don't even realize exists. The biggest innovations in fintech may not be the products we see, they may be the infrastructure quietly making everything work.

More than 1.3 million children in the United States are unsheltered — and for many of them, a pair of new athletic shoes is not a given but a barrier, to school attendance, to sports participation, to the simple feeling of belonging. Amy Fass, Executive Director of Shoes That Fit, joins Care More Be Better as the domestic companion to the earlier Because International conversation, bringing the lens of childhood shoe insecurity home. She and host Corinna Bellizzi explore what new shoes actually do for a child's self-esteem, the stories of children transformed by something as simple as a name-brand sneaker, the antiquated federal poverty line that leaves millions uncounted, and how to make a concrete difference when the scale feels overwhelming.

Wondering if your child is meeting speech milestones? A speech language pathologist explains early language development, red flags, and when to seek help. In this episode, Allison sits down with speech language pathologist Dinalynn Rosenbush to answer some of parents' biggest questions about early speech and language development. Together, they discuss what language milestones really mean, why online milestone charts can sometimes create unnecessary anxiety, and how parents can support speech development naturally at home. Dinalynn explains the difference between speech sounds and language, why conversation is more valuable than talking at your child, and how to create a language-rich environment that encourages communication from infancy through the preschool years. They also discuss common concerns with younger siblings, what to do when children become frustrated because they can't express themselves, and why parents should trust their instincts if they feel something isn't quite right. Whether your child is saying their first words or beginning to speak in sentences, this conversation offers practical, reassuring guidance for supporting healthy communication development. In this episode, you'll learn: What speech and language milestones parents should watch for Why milestone charts can be confusing and how to interpret them The difference between speech sounds and language development How many words toddlers should be using at different ages How to create a language-rich home environment Why younger siblings sometimes talk later How to respond when children become frustrated trying to communicate Simple ways to encourage more conversation throughout the day When to seek a speech-language evaluation Why trusting your parental instincts matters Chapter Markers: 00:00 Meet speech language pathologist Dinalynn Rosenbush 01:30 What is the "Language of Play"? 03:45 Understanding speech and language milestones 08:00 Why milestone charts can be misleading 12:30 How many words should toddlers be saying? 18:30 Why younger siblings sometimes talk later 23:30 Helping children who get frustrated communicating 26:00 Creating a language-rich home 31:00 Speech red flags parents shouldn't ignore 34:30 Trusting your instincts and seeking help early 39:30 Where parents can learn more Learn more about Dinalynn and her work  Click here to listen to the episode on YouTube  Give your child the gift of better sleep.

Why would Jesus curse a fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season?It's one of the most puzzling moments in the Gospels - until you understand the Jewish context. Filmed from the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem, we explore the prophetic significance of the fig tree, the meaning of Bethphage, and why Mark intentionally places the cleansing of the Temple between two scenes involving the tree.Together, these events reveal a powerful message about authentic faith. The leafy fig tree becomes a symbol of religious appearance without spiritual substance, while Jesus' actions in the Temple expose a system full of activity but lacking the fruit God desired.This episode will change the way you read one of Jesus' most misunderstood miracles and challenge every believer to ask: Are we bearing fruit, or simply growing leaves?Key TakeawaysWhy Jesus cursed the fig tree even though it wasn't fig season.The prophetic symbolism of fig trees throughout Scripture.Why Bethphage means "House of the Early Fig."How Mark sandwiches the Temple cleansing between the fig tree stories.The connection between Genesis, Hosea, Jeremiah, and Jesus' actions.Why God looks for fruit instead of religious appearances.How this passage challenges believers today.Chapter Markers 00:00 – Welcome from the Mount of Olives 02:15 – Looking across Jerusalem and the Temple Mount 05:30 – Jesus leaves Bethany hungry 08:30 – Why the fig tree had leaves but no fruit 13:00 – The meaning of early figs (pag) 17:30 – Jesus cleanses the Temple 22:45 – The literary "fig tree sandwich" in Mark 11 28:30 – Bethphage: The House of the Early Fig 33:45 – What spiritual fruit looks like today 38:00 – Walking Israel changes how we read ScriptureVisit thejewishroad.com to watch more episodes exploring the Jewish context of Scripture and discover how the land of Israel brings the Bible to life. If you've ever wanted to walk where Jesus walked, learn more about upcoming Jewish Road tours to Israel and experience these biblical places firsthand with teaching that connects the geography, history, and message of God's Word.

Featuring: Mike Levy and Lisa Charlebois How much time does "bra maxing" actually save in a pro peloton? This week, we dive into the Tour de France Femmes tech controversy that could alter podiums, look at the brutal reality of 32-inch gravel bikes, and check in on a 700-mile Century Week. With Josh and Logan out this week, Lisa Charlebois and Mike Levy hold down the studio to discuss the big, dumb rides they are both doing and the biggest aero news of the week. First up: Mike's ongoing saga with 32-inch wheels. He tackled a 160km Fraser Valley “gravel” epic in continuous rain on his Salsa Fargo 32. He breaks down why the massive wheels continue to impress him, where a rigid fork falls short, and how a stranger's campfire saved his ride. Then, a welfare check on Lisa. She is in the middle of a self-imposed "Century Week"—riding 100 miles a day for seven days straight. She gets into the reality of surviving a 700-mile week while trying to maintain basic human functions off the bike, plus the unexpected rig she chose for this crazy challenge. Finally, the pair tackle the "bra maxxing" (or bra doping) controversy. They run the math on exactly how much time a rider stands to gain with a chest fairing and debate whether the UCI should step in or consider it fair game.

This week on the Bourbon Bytes podcast, we're turning up the proof with hazmat brandy, cask-strength rye, coconut-inspired Scotch, a potentially huge win for retro gamers, and a throwback review of one of the best Canadian whiskies I've ever tasted. Copper & Kings is making several former distillery exclusives available online, including a 10-year rum-finished apple brandy at 147.6 proof, a 9-year apple brandy at 145.4 proof, and a 12-year American brandy at 119.2 proof. Old Overholt is also back with a new 11-year Cask Strength Rye. The 2026 release comes in at 125.6 proof, making it notably stronger than the previous 11-year edition. Then The Macallan closes out its Harmony Collection with two coconut-inspired releases: Inspired by Fresh Coconut and Inspired by Toasted Coconut. They are not flavored whiskies, but their tasting profiles promise coconut milk, lime, tropical fruit, crème caramel, white chocolate, charred pineapple, and frangipane. On the gaming side, a leaked Xbox plan could be a major win for physical media collectors. The rumored disc-to-digital program would let players register physical Xbox One games as digital copies, with Xbox 360 support potentially following later. Finally, it's time for a throwback Byte-Sized Review of J.P. Wiser's 23 Year Old Cask Strength Canadian Whisky. Originally released in 2019, this blend of 23-year-old corn and rye whiskies was bottled at a massive 128.6 proof and originally sold for around $149 Canadian—approximately $106 US at the time. Seven years later, it still delivers bright citrus, blueberry, caramel, vanilla, rye bread, syrupy honey texture, cinnamon-roll sweetness, subtle oak, vintage tobacco, and an exceptionally long finish. Is this still one of the best Canadian whiskies ever released?

Back-to-school season is here, and while parents are busy shopping for backpacks, lunchboxes, and school supplies, one of the most important tools for a successful school year often gets overlooked: sleep. In this episode, Allison explains why sleep is one of the biggest predictors of academic success, emotional regulation, physical health, and overall well-being for elementary-aged children. Drawing from more than a decade of experience working with families, and her own experiences raising two daughters, she shares how to tell if your child is simply getting by or truly thriving. You'll learn how much sleep elementary school children really need, why bedtime matters more than many parents realize, how to adjust your child's schedule before school starts, and why missing your child's natural sleep window can actually make bedtime harder. Allison also shares a personal story about how just two later bedtimes each week noticeably affected her daughter's school performance, illustrating just how powerful adequate sleep can be. Whether your child is entering kindergarten or finishing elementary school, this episode will help you create healthy sleep habits that support learning, behavior, and a smoother school year. In this episode, you'll learn: The difference between a child who is "getting by" versus truly thriving How much sleep elementary school children actually need Why sleep before learning, after learning, and before a test all matter How sleep impacts learning, memory, behavior, emotional regulation, and anxiety Why sleep deprivation can mimic ADHD symptoms The surprising way a small amount of lost sleep affected Allison's daughter's grades How to shift your child's sleep schedule before school begins Why catching your child's natural "sleep wave" makes bedtime easier How to avoid the bedtime second wind Simple evening habits that promote better sleep When to use an earlier "rescue bedtime" during the school year Chapter Markers  00:00 Welcome + Why I'm Writing a Maine Family Travel Guide 02:28 Intro: Why Sleep Is an Elementary School Superpower 03:35 Is Your Child Just Getting By…or Truly Thriving? 05:57 How Much Sleep Do Elementary Schoolers Really Need? 08:56 Why Sleep Matters for Learning, Behavior & Anxiety 11:28 The UVA Basketball Experiment: How Two Hours of Lost Sleep Changed My Daughter's Grades 14:22 How to Shift Your Child's Schedule Before School Starts 16:04 Why Earlier Bedtimes Often Work Better (The "Second Wind" Explained) 18:55 Evening Habits That Help Kids Fall Asleep Faster 19:48 Resources: The Well-Rested Student Workshop & Sleep Consultations 20:35 Key Takeaways for a Successful School Year  Resources mentioned: Get more help with Allison's on demand workshop, The Well-Rested Student: Helping Your Child Sleep Better This School Year or with a one on one consultation  Related episodes: Episode 236.

This is a bonus episode. Back on Juneteenth, we shared Episode 1 of Angela Glover Blackwell's Reimagining Democracy for a Good Life. Last Wednesday, you heard our full conversation with Angela. Today, we're closing that loop with Chapter 6, the final episode of Season 1: Hope Is a Discipline. Angela and choreographer Ana Maria Alvarez explore how art moves a place, and a country, from resistance to creation, with stops along the way for joy, honest pushback on whether LA is really "the model," and a reminder from Mariame Kaba that hope has to be practiced, not just felt. Season 2, focused on Georgia, is out now. Reimagining Democracy for a Good Life is a podcast created by PolicyLink in partnership with Pineapple Street Studios.

Starting kindergarten is one of the biggest transitions of early childhood. Even children who have spent years in daycare or preschool often find kindergarten far more demanding than parents expect. In this episode, Allison explains why sleep should be at the top of every parent's back-to-school checklist. She shares how kindergarten differs from preschool, how much sleep most kindergartners actually need, and why a well-rested child is better equipped to learn, regulate emotions, handle separation at drop-off, and enjoy the school day. Drawing from over a decade of experience as a pediatric sleep coach, Allison walks parents through practical steps for adjusting their child's sleep schedule before school starts and what to expect during those first exhausting weeks (or months) of kindergarten. She also discusses research linking healthy sleep habits to better academic, emotional, and social outcomes throughout the kindergarten year, along with four common signs that a child isn't getting enough sleep. If your child is heading to kindergarten this fall, or has already started school, this episode will help you create a sleep plan that sets them up for a smoother, happier school year. In this episode you'll learn: Why kindergarten is often a bigger adjustment than daycare or preschool How much sleep a 5- to 6-year-old typically needs Why many kindergartners benefit from a 7:00 p.m. (or earlier) bedtime Four signs your child isn't getting enough sleep How sleep impacts learning, memory, emotional regulation, and behavior Why sleep deprivation can sometimes mimic ADHD symptoms How sleep affects separation anxiety and school drop-offs How to shift your child's sleep schedule before school begins When to use a rescue bedtime during the first weeks of kindergarten Practical strategies to help your child thrive throughout the school year Resources mentioned: Episode 105.

Ransomware lateral movement is exactly what it sounds like — once an attacker's inside your network, they start crawling around looking for more to encrypt, and stopping that crawl is often the difference between a bad day and a catastrophe. In this encore episode, part four of our seven-episode series pulling the best of the archives back into your feed, W. Curtis Preston and Prasanna Malaiyandi sit down with networking expert Tom Hollingsworth to break down exactly how attackers move once they're in, and what you can actually do about it.This one's back because listeners didn't just download it — they stuck with it, and a fair number of you came back for a second listen. That kind of engagement told us this conversation was worth surfacing again, especially with ransomware attacks as common as they are right now.Tom walks through the fundamentals of network segmentation — VLANs, air gaps, and why a "flat" network (where everything can talk to everything) is a gift to any attacker who gets in. From there the conversation moves into Zero Trust Network Architecture, what it actually takes to implement it at scale, and why flipping the switch from "allow everything" to "deny by default" is both the right move and the one that generates a thousand help desk tickets on day one. There's a good stretch on how schools, stadiums, and hotels handle network isolation differently than a typical enterprise, plus a practical rundown of incident response — locking down external access, isolating infected segments, keeping communication running when your own network is down, and why every kill switch needs to actually be wired to something.If you've ever wondered how much of this is built into your existing networking gear versus something you have to buy separately, or you just want a clearer mental model for how ransomware spreads once it's past the perimeter, this is a great one to revisit.Chapter Markers:00:00:00 - Intro and why ransomware lateral movement matters right now00:01:25 - Welcome back, meet Tom Hollingsworth00:04:06 - Why isolating the network is step one after a ransomware attack00:06:07 - Networking basics: how ransomware exploits flat networks00:09:31 - VLANs, air gaps, and network segmentation00:14:12 - Zero Trust Network Architecture explained00:19:02 - Managing zero trust at scale across teams00:25:48 - Special cases: schools, stadiums, and hotels00:34:31 - Blocking newly registered domains to stop command and control00:38:01 - Incident response: locking down the network00:42:12 - Keeping communication running during an attack00:44:54 - A real-world story: isolating infected devices00:50:01 - Building segmentation in from the start

If your preschooler is heading to school for the first time, or getting ready for another school year, there's one thing Allison hopes you'll add to your back-to-school checklist: sleep. Parents often focus on backpacks, school supplies, and lunchboxes, but a well-rested child is more likely to adjust smoothly to new routines, regulate emotions, retain what they're learning, and enjoy the preschool experience. In this episode, Allison shares practical strategies to help parents prepare their preschooler for a successful school year. She explains how much sleep preschoolers really need, when to begin shifting bedtime before school starts, why an earlier bedtime can make all the difference, and how sleep impacts learning, behavior, and separation anxiety. She also discusses naps at preschool, what to expect during those first exhausting weeks of school, and why a "rescue bedtime" can help children adjust to the increased demands of the school day. Whether your child is starting preschool for the first time or returning after summer break, this episode will help you build a sleep routine that supports a happier, more confident start to the school year. In this episode, Allison discusses: How much sleep preschoolers really need Why sleep is one of the best ways to prepare for preschool How to shift bedtime before school starts Signs your preschooler may need an earlier bedtime How sleep supports learning, memory, and emotional regulation The connection between sleep and separation anxiety Why the first weeks of preschool are often exhausting How and when to use a rescue bedtime What parents should know about preschool naps Tips for children attending half-day preschool programs Resources mentioned: Episode 104.

This episode is built around a ransomware response checklist — a three-part Reddit series by a security specialist who goes by snorkel42, breaking down exactly how to prevent, contain, and recover from a ransomware attack.This is an encore episode, and it's back not just because a lot of people downloaded it originally, but because so many of you listened all the way through — some of you more than once. That kind of engagement told us this one was worth bringing back.Curtis Preston and Prasanna Malaiyandi dig into snorkel42's series, which breaks the whole problem into three parts: how to stop ransomware from getting in, how to slow it down if it does, and what to actually do once you've been hit. Curtis and Prasanna go section by section — covering phishing and dropper prevention, application whitelisting, blocking lateral movement between servers, locking down RDP and SSH, honeypot files for catching intruders in the act, and building a real incident response plan before you ever need one.They also get into the messier parts most people don't talk about — what it's actually like to negotiate for a decryption key, why getting your data back isn't the end of the story, and why a ransomware attack is nothing like a normal disaster recovery scenario. Along the way, Curtis makes the case that most organizations already have the gaps this attacker needs — and that fixing them now is a lot cheaper than fixing them after the fact.Whether you're building your first incident response plan or just want to stress-test the one you've already got, this episode gives you a practical, section-by-section framework to work from.Chapter Markers:00:00 – Encore intro & episode setup00:01:37 – Show intro and banter00:06:21 – Preventing the breach: phishing, droppers, and whitelisting00:14:46 – Blocking lateral movement, RDP/SSH lockdown00:20:28 – Detecting exfiltration and honeypot files00:24:19 – What to do once you've been hit00:25:58 – Building your incident response plan00:30:43 – Decryption, ransom payments, and why it's not over yet

Why would Jesus curse a fig tree for not bearing fruit out of season?It's one of the most puzzling moments in the Gospels - until you understand the Jewish context. Filmed from the Mount of Olives overlooking Jerusalem, we explore the prophetic significance of the fig tree, the meaning of Bethphage, and why Mark intentionally places the cleansing of the Temple between two scenes involving the tree.Together, these events reveal a powerful message about authentic faith. The leafy fig tree becomes a symbol of religious appearance without spiritual substance, while Jesus' actions in the Temple expose a system full of activity but lacking the fruit God desired.This episode will change the way you read one of Jesus' most misunderstood miracles and challenge every believer to ask: Are we bearing fruit, or simply growing leaves?Key TakeawaysWhy Jesus cursed the fig tree even though it wasn't fig season.The prophetic symbolism of fig trees throughout Scripture.Why Bethphage means "House of the Early Fig."How Mark sandwiches the Temple cleansing between the fig tree stories.The connection between Genesis, Hosea, Jeremiah, and Jesus' actions.Why God looks for fruit instead of religious appearances.How this passage challenges believers today.Chapter Markers 00:00 – Welcome from the Mount of Olives02:15 – Looking across Jerusalem and the Temple Mount05:30 – Jesus leaves Bethany hungry08:30 – Why the fig tree had leaves but no fruit13:00 – The meaning of early figs (pag)17:30 – Jesus cleanses the Temple22:45 – The literary "fig tree sandwich" in Mark 1128:30 – Bethphage: The House of the Early Fig33:45 – What spiritual fruit looks like today38:00 – Walking Israel changes how we read ScriptureVisit thejewishroad.com to watch more episodes exploring the Jewish context of Scripture and discover how the land of Israel brings the Bible to life. If you've ever wanted to walk where Jesus walked, learn more about upcoming Jewish Road tours to Israel and experience these biblical places firsthand with teaching that connects the geography, history, and message of God's Word.

Pediatrician Dr. Stephanie Grice explains when parents should call the doctor, when a fever is concerning, signs of dehydration, and how to know when a sick child needs medical care.  How do you know when your sick child needs to see the doctor? It's one of the most common questions parents ask. Whether your child wakes up with a fever, develops a rash, starts vomiting, or simply seems "off," it can be difficult to know when to call the pediatrician, when to wait it out at home, and when immediate medical attention is needed. In this final installment of our Summer Pediatrician Series, Allison welcomes back pediatrician Dr. Stephanie Grice to help parents navigate childhood illnesses with greater confidence. Dr. Grice explains how pediatricians think about fevers, dehydration, respiratory illnesses, vomiting, diarrhea, rashes, and other common childhood symptoms. She also shares practical advice for determining when symptoms can be monitored at home versus when it's time to schedule a sick visit, head to urgent care, or seek emergency medical attention. Whether you're caring for a newborn, toddler, school-aged child, or teen, this conversation will help you feel more prepared the next time illness strikes your household. In This Episode, You'll Learn: When to call the pediatrician for a sick child When a fever is cause for concern Signs of dehydration in babies and children When vomiting and diarrhea require medical attention How pediatricians evaluate respiratory illnesses When a rash should be checked by a healthcare provider The difference between a sick visit, urgent care visit, and emergency room visit How to monitor symptoms at home Why your child's behavior often matters more than the thermometer reading How to trust your parental instincts when your child is sick Chapter Markers 02:00 The Most Common Question Parents Ask: Does My Child Need to See the Doctor? 04:30 When to Call the Pediatrician vs. Wait It Out 08:15 Understanding Fevers in Babies and Children 12:00 When Is a Fever an Emergency? 15:00 Signs of Dehydration in Children 18:30 Vomiting and Diarrhea: When to Be Concerned 22:00 Respiratory Illnesses, Coughs, and Breathing Concerns 26:30 RSV, Viruses, and Common Childhood Illnesses 29:00 When Should a Rash Be Evaluated? 31:45 Sick Visit, Urgent Care, or Emergency Room? 34:30 Trusting Your Parenting Instincts When Your Child Is Sick Resources Mentioned Episode 246.

What did Jesus mean when He said, "Let's go to the other side"? In this episode, filmed at the ancient Decapolis city of Susita overlooking the Sea of Galilee, we uncover the deeper significance behind one of Jesus' most familiar journeys.  What appears to be a simple boat ride becomes a powerful picture of God's mission reaching beyond Israel into the Gentile world. Walking through Mark chapters 4 through 8, we revisit the healing of the Gerasene demoniac, the calming of the storm, and the feeding of both the 5,000 and the 4,000.  Together, these events reveal a remarkable pattern: Jesus wasn't only revealing His identity as Israel's Messiah - He was preparing the nations to receive Him. This episode offers fresh insight into familiar passages and demonstrates how geography, Jewish culture, and biblical symbolism deepen our understanding of the Gospel. Key Takeaways "The other side" represented crossing into Gentile territory. The Gerasene demoniac became the first missionary to the Decapolis. The feeding of the 5,000 and 4,000 highlight God's provision for both Jews and Gentiles. The numbers twelve and seven carry powerful biblical symbolism. Jesus' authority extends over nature, demons, sickness, and death. Opposition often accompanies God's mission. The Gospel has always been intended for all nations. Chapter Markers  00:00 – Welcome to Susita overlooking the Sea of Galilee 02:00 – Why "the other side" mattered in Jesus' day 05:00 – The Gerasene demoniac and the Decapolis 11:00 – Why Jesus told one man to stay and tell everyone 16:00 – Feeding the 5,000 and the symbolism of twelve baskets 22:00 – Feeding the 4,000 and the meaning of seven baskets 28:00 – The storm on the Sea of Galilee and spiritual opposition 34:00 – Why Jesus intentionally crossed cultural boundaries 38:00 – Our challenge: Will we go to the other side?

Pediatrician Dr. Stephanie Grice joins Allison to explain how growth charts work, what percentiles really mean, when parents should be concerned, and why healthy growth is about patterns over time, not a single number.  Dr. Grice explains how pediatricians use growth charts to monitor a child's health over time, why percentiles are often misunderstood, and what parents should focus on instead. She also discusses common reasons a pediatrician may become concerned about a child's growth, how growth charts factor into feeding and nutrition conversations, and why growth patterns matter far more than any single number. If you've ever worried that your child is too small, too big, not gaining enough weight, or falling off their curve, this episode will help you better understand what growth charts can, and cannot, tell us. In This Episode, You'll Learn: What growth chart percentiles actually mean Why a higher percentile is not necessarily better How pediatricians evaluate healthy growth over time When a child's growth pattern may warrant further investigation Why genetics play an important role in growth How growth charts are used when evaluating infant feeding concerns The connection between growth, nutrition, and development How growth charts can help guide decisions about dropping night feedings Why parents should avoid obsessing over percentile rankings What pediatricians wish parents understood about growth charts Chapter Markers 01:35 Why Parents Worry About Growth Charts 03:15 What Growth Chart Percentiles Actually Mean 05:40 Is a Higher Growth Percentile Better? 08:10 How Pediatricians Use Growth Charts 10:45 When Should Parents Be Concerned About Growth? 13:30 Why Growth Patterns Matter More Than Percentiles 15:50 Genetics and Your Child's Growth Curve 18:15 How Growth Charts Help Identify Feeding Concerns 20:40 Infant Feeding, Weight Gain, and Growth Monitoring 22:00 Can Growth Charts Help Determine When to Drop Night Feedings? 23:45 The 4-Month Checkup: Questions to Ask Your Pediatrician About Sleep and Feeding 26:00 What Your Pediatrician Wants You to Know About Growth Charts Resources Mentioned Episode 246.

Socks are the #1 most requested item at homeless shelters. Dave Heath turned that single fact into Bombas — a one-for-one apparel brand that's donated over 200 million items of clothing and built a billion-dollar business along the way. What makes Dave a builder worth studying isn't just the scale; it's the discipline behind it: reverse-engineering an exceptional product from a mission, learning to test before betting, and protecting a brand as it grows.In this episode, I sit down with Dave to break down:• How he reverse-engineered an "exceptional product" from a donation mission — and brought athletic-sock innovation to the mass market• The Shark Tank breakout: from $800K to $2M in revenue in the six weeks after airing — and why ~20% of customers still affiliate Bombas with the show• The expensive lesson of expanding into adjacent products too fast — and the MVP-testing discipline that replaced it• Why the "obvious" extensions (underwear, t-shirts) underperformed while a sleeper bet (slippers) became 20% of the business• Radical-ish transparency: telling the whole company about a planned IPO and trusting adults to keep it quiet — and they did• The mark of a great founder: the self-awareness to evolve his own role as the company scaled, and how he screened his successor for humility• How Bombas is approaching AI — getting the whole company trained on Claude and Claude Code, and why building AI as a competency beat chasing shiny enterprise toolsBig thanks to Dave for coming on the pod and sharing the playbook — and the mindset — behind Bombas.⏱️ Chapter Markers:00:00 — Intro.

It's the 100th episode of the Bourbon Bytes podcast! This week, I'm celebrating the milestone with a packed whiskey news lineup and a special Byte-Sized Review of Little Book The Infinite: Edition II from Jim Beam. Willett filled the first barrel at its new Springfield distillery, Bacardi is taking full ownership of Teeling Irish Whiskey, Four Roses officially announced its first Experimental Series release finished in Japanese Mizunara oak, Blade & Bow is launching a 12-year Solera Reserve bourbon, and Frey Ranch released its first 10-year bourbon. We also talk about the new “day cap” drinking trend, because apparently Gen Z may have just rebranded happy hour. Then it's time for the main event: Little Book The Infinite: Edition II. This special Jim Beam family blend brings together 22-year bourbon distilled by Booker Noe, 10-year bourbon distilled by Fred Noe, and 7-year bourbon from Freddie Noe. It is bottled uncut and unfiltered at 120.4 proof, and it might be one of the best bourbons I've ever reviewed on the podcast. Expect deep mahogany oak, vanilla, cinnamon, rich sweetness, charred barrel spice, incredible balance, and a full-bodied finish that drinks far below its proof.

In honor of Juneteenth, we're sharing something special: the opening chapter of Reimagining Democracy for a Good Life, the podcast hosted by legendary equity advocate Angela Glover Blackwell, founder in residence of PolicyLink. In "Democracy Dreaming," Angela takes us to Los Angeles, a city she didn't expect to become a hopeful case study in multiracial democracy, and shows us why it might be exactly that. Featuring voices from LA Mayor Karen Bass, economist Manuel Pastor, Community Coalition CEO Alberto Retana, young housing organizer Tiffany Benitez, advocate Denise Fairchild, and the poetry of Chinaka Hodge, this episode reframes democracy not as something we have, but as something we practice.

Can you truly change the world if you haven't first changed yourself? Gerard Powell was a CEO who took two companies public — and was quietly, persistently miserable. His journey from deep personal dissatisfaction and addiction to the discovery of plant medicine led to the founding of Rythmia Life Advancement Center in Costa Rica, the world's first medically licensed ayahuasca retreat. Nearly 24,000 guests later, with a 98.12% self-reported transformational success rate, Gerry joins Care More Be Better to make the case that the most powerful outward impact begins with the courageous work of inner transformation. He and host Corinna Bellizzi explore the soul fracture that no amount of success can heal, the arms dealers and billionaires who left Rythmia wanting to give their lives to helping others, and the message the medicine gave Gerry when he went to her crying about the state of the world: stop the war within yourself and the other wars will go away.

Cats are 40% of the pet market, but are somehow still chronically overlooked. Every innovation goes to dogs first. Even your vet's office is built for dogs first. Matt Michaelson, cofounder and CEO of Smalls, and his team have built an incredible cat-first brand precisely because of that blind spot.In this episode, I sit down with Matt to break down:• Why the cat industry is structurally underinvested (which includes VCs simply saying "I don't really like cats")• What "human-grade" actually means for pet food — and the sustainability trade-offs nobody talks about• Ingredient splitting: the regulatory hack that lets pet brands disguise what's actually in the bag• "Wrestling in the mud": a feedback culture where every hire is expected to disagree• Founders Pledge, and why committing 5% early changes the giving conversation laterBig thanks to Matt for coming on the pod and sharing the playbook behind Smalls.⏱️ Chapter Markers:00:00 — Why cats keep getting overlooked01:05 — What is Smalls?

Everyone has a critical inner voice. But if you grew up in an environment shaped by chronic relational stress, that voice does not just comment. It runs. It loops. It drives your body into a stress state before you have even finished the thought. In this episode, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof explore the inner critic as the next distinguishing characteristic of complex trauma in their ongoing CPT series. This is not a conversation about toxic positivity or affirmations. It is a precise, neuroscience-grounded look at why the inner critic develops, what it is actually doing in the brain and nervous system, and what it genuinely takes to loosen its grip over time. The inner critic is a predictive safety mechanism. It developed to preempt rejection, suppress behaviors that previously led to punishment, and maintain attachment in environments where connection felt conditional. It is not your core self. It is a learned neural pattern rooted in threat detection and self-referential processing that, once formed, keeps running because it worked. Or at least, it worked enough. Jennifer and Elisabeth trace how chronic relational stress reorganizes the default mode network around threat rather than flexible identity development, what the medial prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate cortex have to do with rumination and shame-based identity loops, and why children with developmental trauma learn to blame themselves for relational failures that were never their fault in the first place. They also go deep on the outward expression of the same pattern: the external critic, the person who micromanages, projects, and stays braced and guarded because the nervous system is still predicting the letdown. Both hosts bring this into their own lived experience with real honesty. Elisabeth talks about the constant body-focused narrator that used to run during recording sessions. Jennifer shares what the inner critic sounds like when she is launching something new and putting her voice out into the world. Neither of them is pretending it is gone. They are showing what it looks like when it no longer runs the show. The episode closes with practical, nervous system-grounded pathways for working with the inner critic, including why celebration and reward matter more than positive thinking, how oxytocin-mediated safety gradually quiets social threat monitoring, and why the most important move is not arguing with the voice but interrupting the loop at the body level first. In This Episode, You Will Learn: Why the inner critic is a predictive nervous system adaptation, not a reflection of truth or identity How chronic relational stress reorganizes the default mode network around threat and self-monitoring What the medial prefrontal cortex and posterior cingulate cortex have to do with rumination and the inner critic Why children with developmental trauma internalize relational failures as personal flaws How perfectionism, body criticism, and post-performance crashes are all outputs of the same underlying pattern What the external critic is, why it always coexists with a loud inner critic, and how to recognize it in yourself Why you cannot think your way out of the inner critic loop and what actually interrupts it How the ventral striatum and reward signaling can be used to reinforce new behaviors and self-expression Why oxytocin-mediated safety, through connection, touch, nature, and sensory pleasure, reduces the social threat driving the critic What post-traumatic growth actually looks like in relation to the inner critic: not eliminating it, but expanding capacity beyond it Chapter Markers 0:00 - The Inner Critic as a Distinguishing Characteristic of Complex Trauma 0:58 - Welcome: What the Inner Critic Actually Is 1:49 - Jennifer and Elisabeth Share Their Own Inner Critic Experiences 4:36 - Why This Matters: Recognizing Complex Trauma in the Patterns 5:33 - The Difference Between a Normal Inner Critic and a Trauma-Amplified One 7:11 - The Neuro Biology: How the Inner Critic Develops as a Protective Pattern 8:28 - How Authenticity Becomes a Threat Signal 10:38 - The Default Mode Network and Self-Referential Rumination 13:52 - What the Growth Edge Actually Feels Like in Practice 17:05 - The Brain Science: The Default Mode Network, Medial PFC, and Posterior Cingulate 19:22 - Why Developmental Trauma Teaches Children to Blame Themselves 21:10 - How to Interrupt the Loop: Sensory Anchoring, Movement, and Tools 23:18 - Working With State to Shift the Story 24:51 - Perfectionism as an Output of the Inner Critic 28:11 - Why We Stay Stuck in the Loop Even When We Know Better 29:12 - The Ventral Striatum, Reward Signaling, and Why Celebrating Small Wins Matters 35:57 - Oxytocin, Social Safety, and Softening the Hypervigilance 39:49 - The External Critic: When the Inner Voice Gets Projected Outward 43:03 - Post-Traumatic Growth and the Inner Critic: What Actually Changes Ways to Engage with Neurosomatics    Join us inside Rewire: This is where you actually experience the practices Jennifer and Elisabeth talk about on the podcast that brought us freedom, self-attunement, a new relationship with food and our body.  rewiretrial.com   Explore the neurosomatics of boundaries: boundaryrewire.com   Introduction to neurosomatics for practitioners, coaches and therapists - The NSI foundations Bundle: https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/workshops/   Wayfinder Journal: Track nervous system patterns and support preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence: https://stan.store/illuminated   Join Jennifer on Sacred Synapse to explore the intersection of neurosomatics and Psychedelic neuroscience: https://www.youtube.com/@sacredsynapse-23   Support the podcast by supporting our sponsors:  FREE 1 Year Supply of Vitamin D + 5 Travel Packs from Athletic Greens when you use my exclusive offer: https://www.drinkag1.com/rewired Trauma Rewired podcast  is intended to educate and inform but does not constitute medical, psychological or other professional advice or services.
