Is losing a pet really as painful as losing a human family member? How do you know when pet grief has become something you need help dealing with—and what should you NEVER say to someone whose pet just died? Tom Kelly sits down with longtime friend Judith Eve Rosen, LCSW, a clinical social worker specializing in veterinary social work and author of Life After Pet Loss: Daily Reflections for Working Through Grief. Judith explains how an experience in a veterinary emergency room inspired her to specialize in pet loss and the human-animal bond.

When feeding therapy stalls, it is rarely because a clinician lacks exercises - it is usually because intervention began before the child's foundational systems were fully understood. Trying to fix oral-motor mechanics without addressing postural stability, airway integrity, or sensory overload is like building a house on sand.In this episode, Hallie Bulkin shares a structured, child-centered framework for pediatric feeding therapy that moves clinicians away from reactive "symptom chasing" and toward deep clinical reasoning. She breaks down the critical distinction between preliminary screening and comprehensive assessment, explaining how to connect isolated clinical observations into actionable patterns.Hallie highlights why posture, breathing, and nervous system regulation must be evaluated before asking the mouth to perform. She also discusses how to prioritize barriers based on the whole child, collaborate effectively with medical providers, and implement proactive strategies that build lasting trust with families.Key Topics & TakeawaysFoundation Over Function: Why postural alignment, airway patency, and sensory processing must be stabilized before targeting oral-motor skill development.Pattern Recognition vs. Symptom Chasing: How to connect individual clinical observations into cohesive patterns that reveal the true root cause of feeding difficulties.Screening vs. Comprehensive Assessment: Understanding where screening ends and formal diagnostic assessment begins to avoid premature intervention plans.Proactive vs. Reactive Therapy: Shifting from session-by-session troubleshooting to a clear, milestone-driven roadmap.Interdisciplinary Medical Collaboration: How and when to bring in medical partners (ENTs, GI, bodyworkers, dentists) to address systemic barriers to progress.Soundbites"Feeding does not happen in a silo - it requires the synchronized support of posture, airway, sensory, and nervous system regulation.""Assess the child's foundation before asking the mouth to perform. If the body is fighting for balance or air, feeding will always be secondary.""Symptoms are information, not the starting point.

Islam is a major issue in America today. Hearing from someone who grew up Muslim provides an important and much-needed perspective. Allie sits down with “Eternal Bread of Life,” a former Muslim who converted to Christianity, known on Instagram for making content exposing the truth about Islam and comparing it to Christianity. She shares her testimony of growing up Sunni Muslim and explains what caused her to begin questioning the religion and lifestyle she grew up accepting as normal. In this episode, she shares her journey from Islam through New Age to Christianity, debunks myths, and reveals disturbing facts about Muhammad and his marriage to a 6-year-old girl named Aisha. She also shares her personal experience growing up Muslim and what she found most attractive about Christianity. This is an informative episode that sheds light on a highly contested issue and demystifies facts that people need to know in order to think well about the growing issue of Islam in America.

Eighty percent of the world's population can't see the Milky Way. Light pollution interferes. Author and adventurer Craig Childs, of Norwood, Colorado, writes about a trek from light to dark in his book, "The Wild Dark: Finding the Night Sky in the Age of Light." It takes readers from the incandescence of Las Vegas to the spangled skies of rural Nevada. It was named a finalist this month for a Colorado Book Award in creative nonfiction. Childs spoke with Sr. Host Ryan Warner at the Mountain Words Festival in Crested Butte in May of 2025 after the book's release.

In this powerful episode, Jed Doherty welcomes Jackie Baker, author of Messy Mourning: Hope for Mothers Grieving the Loss of a Child to Suicide. Jackie shares the heartbreaking story of her firstborn, Sebastian—a bright, curious, book-loving boy who grew up in a home where reading, faith, and family were central. She recalls sweet memories, from anatomy books at home to anxiously awaiting new Harry Potter releases, painting a vivid picture of a joyful, inquisitive child. As Sebastian entered high school, Jackie and her family began to notice serious changes: depression, anxiety, poor choices, and eventually substance use. Despite treatment, psychiatric care, and rehab, Sebastian struggled with bipolar disorder, experiencing manic and depressive phases. After an earlier attempt, he ultimately died by suicide, leaving Jackie, her husband, and daughter to navigate overwhelming grief, guilt, and unanswered questions. Jackie and Jed discuss the unique stigma surrounding suicide loss, especially in faith communities, contrasting it with how people respond to deaths from accidents or illness. Jackie speaks honestly about unhelpful comments, lingering shame, and the harmful notion that suicide is simply "selfish," reframing it instead as the tragic end of profound suffering and illness—much like an advanced cancer. Jackie explains how her Christian faith, scripture, and a loving church community became her anchor, and she offers practical ways to support grieving families: specific help instead of "let me know," showing up, avoiding platitudes, and being willing to listen and remember the child. Later in the episode, Jed talks with Paul Curley, author of Camp Counseling Mastery, who shares how playful, intentional camp activities can build children's language, confidence, and social skills, especially through movement, fun, and "accidental learning."

When your child has a big reaction, you may wonder: Should I respond to what they're feeling, or is it better to ignore it? Respond too much, and suddenly you're explaining, reassuring, negotiating, or trying to make the reaction stop. But ignore it, and you may worry that you're being dismissive,...or leaving your child alone with feelings they genuinely don't know how to handle. The good news is, you don't have to choose between getting pulled into your child's reaction and disconnecting from it. There's a middle ground that helps your child learn that big feelings are hard, but also survivable. In this episode, you'll hear: • Why trying so hard to make your child feel better can unintentionally send the message that their discomfort is something they can't handle • What an effective response sounds like when your child is angry, anxious, disappointed, or pushing back • A different way to measure whether you handled a hard moment well -- FREE RESOURCE: Does your child have a narrow zone of tolerance?

What if you haven't lived up to your potential?In this reflection on Psalm 8, John Ortberg explores one of the great wonders of God's creation: human potential.You can count the seeds in an apple.But you cannot count the apples in a seed.Human beings possess an extraordinary capacity to grow, create, love, serve and become. Psalm 8 looks at the vastness of the heavens and then marvels that God is mindful of us.But there's another side to potential.It can become a burden.I should be further along.I should have accomplished more.I should have made better decisions.I should be more successful, disciplined, attractive, productive or fulfilled.What happens when the possibility of what we could become turns into disappointment over what we haven't become?John offers two truths to carry with us:“I am but dust and ashes.”And:“The whole world was created on my account.”One reminds us that we are limited creatures.The other reminds us that we are deeply loved.And if you're worried that too much of your life has already passed or that you've wasted your potential, remember:God never gets trapped in the past.Today is still here.And who knows what God may yet have in store?In this episode:Psalm 8 and human potentialRecovering awe and wonderWhy we become blasé about extraordinary thingsAbraham Joshua Heschel on human possibilityWhat it means to participate in the divine natureHow potential becomes a burdenThe pressure to constantly optimize our lives“I am but dust and ashes”“The whole world was created on my account”What to do when you feel insignificantWhat to do when you feel too importantLetting go of regret about wasted potentialWhy God isn't trapped in your pastScriptures: Psalm 8 • 2 Peter 1:4 • Genesis 18:27 • Luke 23:39–43#Psalm8 #JohnOrtberg #Potential #Psalms #SpiritualFormation #Purpose #ChristianFaith #BibleStudy #Identity #Hope

How Much Freedom Is Your Child Ready For? When should a child be allowed to stay home alone, walk to a friend's house, ride farther from home, get a phone, or spend more time without a parent nearby? There isn't one age that works for every child. In this episode of Equipped To Be, Connie Albers shares a practical framework parents can use when deciding whether a child is ready for greater independence: Range, Readiness, and Responsibility. You'll learn how to: Consider the specific freedom your child is asking for Evaluate maturity and readiness instead of relying on age alone Connect increasing freedom with demonstrated responsibility Know when protection is helping and when fear may be holding a child back Give children safe opportunities to practice judgment and independence Prepare children to make wise decisions when you aren't there Protecting children and preparing them for independence are not opposites. As children grow, wise parenting gradually shifts from making decisions for them to teaching them how to make sound decisions for themselves. Freedom should grow with demonstrated responsibility. But children also need enough freedom to practice becoming responsible.     Read the full show notes with links here: How Much Freedom Is Your Child Ready For?   If you enjoy listening to Parenting and Homeschool Advice ~ Equipped To Be with Connie Albers, please leave a review and a five-star rating.

Sometimes exhaustion goes so deep that even turning to God feels like more than the body and spirit can manage. Not a crisis of faith, not a decision to walk away — just a weariness so complete that the simplest prayer becomes a reach too far. Those moments carry a particular kind of shame for believers who expected their faith to hold up better under pressure, who pictured leaning on God looking a little more steady and a little less desperate. Psalm 9:10 speaks directly into that shame with a promise that does not require perfect faith to claim: the Lord has never forsaken those who seek Him. Those who know His name, who have placed their trust in Him, who have made it their practice to seek Him, will never be left alone. Not even in the moments when they are too broken to look His way. The years of seeking, knowing, and trusting God do not evaporate in a hard season. They become the foundation that holds even when the person standing on it has nothing left. God is not present because our faith looks impressive. He is present because He loves us, because we love Him, and because we belong to Him. The weak, barely-formed prayer, "Jesus, help me," is enough. And on the days when even that is beyond reach, He is still there. His presence is not contingent on our performance. Child of God, you are sealed with the promise of His presence, His salvation, and His grace, always, in every valley, whether you can feel it or not. If today's prayer speaks to you, I think you will love my latest book, Win Over Worry: Conquer What Shakes You and Soar With the One Who Overcomes. You can find it on Amazon or your favorite online retail site. I hope it blesses you! Today's Bible Verse "Those who know your name trust in you, for you, LORD, have never forsaken those who seek you."— Psalm 9:10, NIV Ponder Today God's presence does not depend on our faith looking or feeling perfect. He is not there because we showed up strong. He is there because we are His and He loves us — and that does not change based on how our faith performs in the hardest moments. "Jesus, help me" is a complete and sufficient prayer. When exhaustion strips away everything else, the weakest and most honest cry still reaches the One who hears. God does not require eloquence or emotional strength before He responds. The years of seeking God become the foundation that holds in the seasons when you have nothing left. A history of knowing His name, placing trust in Him, and practicing the discipline of turning toward Him does not disappear in a hard season. It carries you even when you cannot carry yourself. Feeling forsaken and being forsaken are not the same thing. Psalm 9:10 is a promise, not a feeling. God has never forsaken those who seek Him — not in their strongest moments, and not in their most depleted ones either. Rest in your weariness without shame. You do not have to pull your faith together before God will show up. He is already there, with His constant care, His continual protection, and His unending, unconditional love — even in the pit. A Prayer for You Today Ever-present God, I praise You that You never leave my side. Even when I struggle to sense Your presence in my deepest pain and suffering, You are there. Even when my faith feels far from perfect or I wonder if I am deserving of Your love and care, You are there. Because I am Yours and You are mine, You will never forsake me. I have chosen to seek You, to know You, and to place my trust in You. So no matter what circumstances surround me, I know You will follow me, love me, and forever bless me. Thank You for the great gift of Your constant care and unconditional love. In Jesus' name, Amen. Want More?

If you have ever lain awake worrying that you are getting parenting wrong, this conversation is for you. Adrienne Gold Davis sits down with Dr. Michael Milobsky, a pediatrician with more than thirty years of experience and a father of seven, to sort the worries worth your energy from the ones you can put down. They talk through the fears that follow us from infancy onward: missed milestones, sleep, picky eating, screens, and the pressure of raising kids in an age of constant information. Milobsky offers a steadying frame borrowed from child development: parents are shepherds, not engineers. Your job is love, protection, and the right environment, not turning your child into someone they were never built to be. The deeper thread is one every parent will recognize: so much of what unsettles us in our children points back to our own unfinished work.

Dr Shereen Lim is a Perth-based dentist and among the first in Australia to complete a postgraduate qualification in Dental Sleep Medicine. She began her career working with adults with snoring and sleep apnea but soon recognized that many of these problems had their roots in childhood and could often be lessened or delayed through earlier identification and management. This insight inspired her focus on children's airway health, where she now works in tongue-tie management and early interceptive orthodontics to promote healthy breathing, sleep, and growth. She is the author of Breathe, Sleep, Thrive: Discover How Airway Health Can Unlock Your Child's Potential, a book that has reached families and professionals worldwide.

When a child tragically gets cancer, parents and families often find themselves grasping for ways to make sense of their new reality. It is one thing to know abstractly that we live in a world where the innocent suffer, but it is another thing entirely to suffer alongside your own child. Such a life-altering experience can raise heavy questions for parents, at times forcing them to reassess their most closely held narratives and cherished beliefs. Our guest on this episode is Grant Romoser-Claunch. Grant is a Christian pastor at Newsong Fellowship in Illinois and a husband and a father. When his four-and-half month old son Simon was diagnosed with leukemia, Grant was confronted with the daunting question: Where is God in this? His 2025 book Bone of my Bone chronicles his journey with Simon and captures the spiritual challenges and growth he experienced along the way. Over the course of our conversation, Grant shares Simon's cancer story from diagnosis all the way to remission. We explore how Grant's faith was challenged and re-formed while caring for Simon and reflect on how deeper learning often requires a preceding process of unlearning. Finally, Grant reminds medical professionals of their moral duty to wield the power of their position with love.  In this episode, you'll hear about: 2:30 - Grant's work as a pastor and the path that led him to his work9:30 - The heart wrenching story of Grant's son's journey with leukemia 33:50 - How Grant's experience with his son's cancer challenged his faith and motivated him to write 41:50 -  The ways in which Grant's understanding of God transformed throughout his son's journey48:20 - How the concrete details of life can lead us to profound insights1:00:30 - The impact of doctors who wield their power for their parents instead of over their patientsIf you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOIt began with a moment no four-year-old could ever forget—opening her eyes in the stillness of night to see her father standing at the foot of her bed. The same father she adored… and the same father who had already passed away. That encounter didn't just comfort her. It unlocked something.What followed was a lifetime of abilities April never asked for but could never ignore: visions, visitations, messages, and a skill set that defies explanation—clairvoyance, remote viewing, automatic writing, and a connection to the dead powerful enough to guide her into some of America's most haunted locations.In this episode, April shares how one childhood moment opened the doorway, how she learned to navigate a world most people can't see, and what the spirits have tried to tell her along the way.#TheGraveTalks #paranormal #clairvoyant #spiritcommunication #ghoststories #remoteviewing #hauntedhistory #automaticwriting #shamanicjourney #trueghoststoryLove real ghost stories?

Wild animals carry a raw, simultaneous presence of beauty and danger that is difficult to fully articulate, which is exactly what makes the picture in Isaiah 11 so stunning. A wolf living with a lamb. A leopard resting beside a goat. A little child leading them all. These pairings shatter every assumption we hold about the natural order of things. They are describing something that has never existed in a fallen world. A day is coming when the knowledge of the Lord will fill the earth as the waters cover the sea, and in that day, radical and complete peace will come to all of creation. No more fear, no more power struggle, no more tooth and claw. The everlasting reign of Jesus will bring the peace that every corner of creation has been groaning for. For now, we live in the in-between. We catch glimpses of that coming reality in our friendships with animals, in moments of unexpected beauty in the natural world, and in the steady trust that what is broken is not forever. All shall be well. Today's Bible Verse "They will neither harm nor destroy on all my holy mountain, for the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea."— Isaiah 11:9, NIV Ponder Today The stunning pairings in Isaiah 11 are meant to shatter our assumptions. Wolf with lamb. Leopard with goat. Child leading them all. God is describing something so far outside our current experience that it can only arrive with the fullness of His knowledge filling the earth. We live in the in-between of here but not yet. The promise of Isaiah 11 is future, but we are not without glimpses of it now — in the animals we love, in moments of beauty in nature, and in every act of peace and care we extend to the world around us. The current brokenness of creation is not its final state. Romans 8 tells us that creation itself groans, waiting for redemption. That groan is not hopeless — it is the groan of something that knows restoration is coming. Waiting faithfully means making the most of opportunities to promote peace right now. We cannot bring Isaiah 11 into full reality, but we can be agents of the peace it describes in the lives and world around us while we wait for the One who will. A Prayer for You Today Root of Jesse, Scripture speaks of a coming day when You will rule in peace and righteousness, when the world will be filled with the knowledge of You and all will confess that Jesus is Lord. With Your rule, peace will come to all of creation. I long for this day when wars will cease, humans will live in harmony with Your good creation, and death will die. Right now, I find myself in the in-between of here but not yet. Help me wait in faithfulness, making the most of my opportunities to promote peace in the lives and world around me. May I live with steady trust that the current brokenness of creation is not forever. Peace is coming. And so I trust, in the words of Julian of Norwich, that all shall be well. In Jesus' name, Amen.

There can be many different reasons a child may struggle with appetite or eating. But there is one possible hidden emotional pattern that parents may not always think about, because it can be happening beneath the surface in a way that isn't obvious. In this episode, Brandy shares an insight she has been seeing more and more with children who are having a hard time eating. Sometimes, what looks like "they're just not hungry" may have more happening underneath than it first appears. And in some cases, the way the issue is unfolding emotionally around the child can add another layer without anyone realizing it. In this episode, you'll discover: → One hidden emotional pattern that may affect appetite → Why the issue can become more complicated over time → How the pattern can become unconsciously reinforced without the child or the parents realizing it → What to start noticing beneath the surface → Simple ways to support more safety, connection, and positive emotional patterns The goal is not to blame the child or the parent. It is simply to become more aware of what may be happening underneath. Important Note: There can be many different reasons a child may struggle with appetite or eating, including serious medical conditions and other concerns. If your child is not eating, it is important to FIRST see your doctor or appropriate healthcare professional to rule out other causes. Do not avoid seeing your doctor because of anything you hear in this episode, and do not immediately assume that an eating or appetite issue is stress-related.

Parenting a kid with ADHD takes way more than standard advice; it requires understanding a complex brain difference that impacts focus, sleep, big emotions, and daily energy.In this episode, child psychologist Dr. Emily King and TILT Parenting founder Debbie Reber join Emily to give their perspective on what neurodivergent parenting looks like by challenging the "disorder" label, unpacking why behaviors shift between home and school, and diving into hidden struggles like RSD, time blindness, and burnout.From navigating evaluations to handling the gap between your child's age and their developmental stage, this conversation offers the honest, evidence-based grounding every parent needs.Tune in now, and reach out to Emily Edlynn to learn more about her 1-on-1 parent coaching!Listen and Learn: Should ADHD be framed as a medical disorder or a brain regulation difference?How pathologizing language impacts stigma, diagnosis, and access to support in both clinical and educational settings Why the name "ADHD" is misleading and how the disorder goes far beyond inattention and hyperactivity to affect emotional regulation, sleep, appetite, and energy management How to navigate the ADHD diagnosis process from choosing between a pediatrician and a full neuropsychological evaluation to gathering cross-environment data and shifting parent strategies for lasting behavioral change Overlooked ADHD traits that rarely get covered in formal evaluations and practical strategies to support your child without damaging their self-esteem How ADHD-related time blindness, task avoidance, and a lack of future-oriented thinking drive daily struggles like running late and better understanding your child's neurodivergent experience How emotional sensitivity, sensory processing, and energy regulation manifest in children with ADHD and autism and why a child's behavior can look so drastically different between home and school Why raising a neurodivergent child feels like "advanced parenting," and the deep isolation, constant judgment, and overwhelming family burnout that comes with itResources:https://www.dremilyking.com/The Neurodivergent Learner https://www.learnwithdremily.com/bookhttps://www.learnwithdremily.com/bookhttps://www.instagram.com/emilywkingphd/https://www.facebook.com/emilywkingphdhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/emilywkingphd/https://www.debbiereber.com/Differently Wired: A Parent's Guide to Raising an Atypical Child with Confidence and Hope https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781523506316https://www.facebook.com/DeborahReberAuthor/https://twitter.com/debbiereber Tilt Parenting Podcast 359 A Conversation with Dr. Emily Edlynn on Raising Autonomous ChildrenEmily Edlynn's website – contact her directly if you are interested in a parent group!

When a child has words but speaks too quietly to hear, low volume may be connected to confidence, fluency, and how difficult the word feels. In this coaching call excerpt, Dr. Mary Barbera explains how to increase talking and voice volume by giving the answer, modeling words clearly, slowing down practice, using 3D objects, matching, microphones, mirrors, songs, outdoor play, and weekly word lists. The goal is to shape louder, clearer communication without constant correction or pressure.

Over 300,000 Chicago public school students started classes again this week. In Illinois, there are over 1.8 million students.   Each one of those kids is going back to school in what most experts say is an era that is tougher than any time period in recent history.   On today's podcast, sponsored by Meridian Psychiatric Partners, some help for parents.  Host - Jon Hansen Guests - Dr. Nick Hatzis and Dr. Johnny Dominguez, Meridian Psychiatric Partners Medical and Clinical directors of their Child and Adolescent Program Call Meridian at 312-640-7740 Or visit their website HERE www.meridianpsychiatricpartners.com Want to donate to our non-profit newsroom? CLICK HEREWho we areBlock Club Chicago is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit news organization dedicated to delivering reliable, relevant and nonpartisan coverage of Chicago's diverse neighborhoods. We believe all neighborhoods deserve to be covered in a meaningful way.We amplify positive stories, cover development and local school council meetings and serve as watchdogs in neighborhoods often ostracized by traditional news media.Ground-level coverageOur neighborhood-based reporters don't parachute in once to cover a story. They are in the neighborhoods they cover every day building relationships over time with neighbors. We believe this ground-level approach not only builds community but leads to a more accurate portrayal of a neighborhood.Stories that matter to you — every daySince our launch seven years ago, we've published more than 30,000 stories from the neighborhoods, covered hundreds of community meetings and send daily and neighborhood newsletters to more than 150,000 Chicagoans. We've built this loyalty by proving to folks we are not only covering their neighborhoods, we are a part of them. Some of us have internalized the national media's narrative of a broken Chicago. We aim to change that by celebrating our neighborhoods and chronicling the resilience of the people who fight every day to make Chicago a better place for all.

When life takes a devastating turn, our pain can begin telling us things about God, ourselves and our future that simply aren’t true. Author and pediatric nurse practitioner Jackie M. Baker understands this firsthand. After losing her son Sebastian to suicide, Jackie faced profound grief, questions about what she could have done differently and the painful realization that she couldn’t control the choices or outcomes of those she loved. In this episode, she shares how God taught her to release control, challenge the lies grief whispered and trust Him when life looked nothing like she had hoped. Jackie and Carol also discuss the unexpected losses many of us grieve—from relationships and careers to health, dreams and expectations—and how suffering can distort our identity and trap us in regret. Jackie shares practical ways God carried her forward, including Scripture, prayer, supportive relationships and daily routines, and explains why moving forward doesn’t mean forgetting what—or whom—we’ve lost. Most importantly, she reminds us that even when we can’t see light ahead, God remains with us in the darkness, offering a hope rooted in His presence rather than a particular outcome.

One of the hardest parts of parenting a child with OCD is not knowing what's actually going on. Your child insists they're “fine,” avoids your questions, or simply can't explain what they're experiencing. It can leave you feeling confused, shut out, and unsure of how to help.In this episode, I talk about why so many kids keep their OCD hidden, even from the people they trust most. You'll learn why silence is often part of OCD itself and why pushing for answers can unintentionally make it harder for your child to open up.We'll also discuss practical ways to build trust, strengthen communication, and support your child, even when you don't fully understand what their OCD is about. Because you don't need to know every intrusive thought to begin helping your child make progress.Mentioned in this episode:Download the free companion handout: www.natashadaniels.com/handouts
