Send us a textIn this inspiring episode of #GaleForceWins, we sit down with Nevra Sener, an educator, counselor, and passionate advocate for newcomer mental health. Originally from Istanbul, Turkey, Nevra shares her remarkable journey from growing up in a multicultural family to settling in St. John's, Newfoundland and Labrador. After completing her Master of Education at Memorial University, Nevra found her calling supporting newcomers through her work with the Association for New Canadians and now with the Canadian Mental Health Association.Nevra opens up about the emotional and cultural challenges of immigration, the importance of mental health education, and how she blends her counseling background with project management to lead impactful initiatives like Steering Success. She offers personal insights into Turkish culture, collectivism, and how different communities approach mental health. Most powerfully, she encourages newcomers not to feel alone—and reminds us that self-care is not selfish, but essential.This conversation is a heartfelt celebration of resilience, belonging, and what it means to build a new life while giving back to the community. Whether you're a newcomer, an employer, or simply someone who values compassion and cultural understanding, this is a must-watch.Timestamps:0:00 – Welcome and introduction to Nevra Sener0:42 – Nevra's move from Turkey to St. John's1:01 – Growing up in Istanbul and cultural background1:20 – The influence of Nevra's immigrant roots2:04 – Psychological insights from cultural upbringing2:41 – Minimalism vs. collectivist habits3:26 – Nevra's childhood interests and communication skills4:08 – The importance of interpersonal communication5:10 – Educational influences and her sister as a role model5:51 – Meaning of her and her sister's names6:53 – Nevra's academic journey and love for school7:54 – Working as a school counselor in Istanbul9:00 – Helping students manage anxiety and choose careers9:48 – How Nevra met her husband10:30 – Marriage and family roles in Turkish culture11:18 – Deciding to move to Canada during COVID-1912:50 – Applying to universities and choosing Memorial14:09 – First impressions of Newfoundland15:00 – Community support and sense of belonging15:45 – Her husband's transition and love of cooking17:30 – Nevra's work post-graduation with ANC and CMHA21:00 – Newcomer challenges: employment and housing22:30 – Current project: Steering Success for mental health25:00 – Importance of employers in newcomer integration28:30 – Cultural differences in discussing mental health31:00 – Mental health evolution in Turkey33:00 – Collectivist vs. individualist approach to mental health35:45 – Nevra's future hopes professionally and personally37:30 – Describing Newfoundland to her family in Turkey39:00 – What makes Newfoundland'Gale Force Wins started out simply as an inspirational podcast releasing episodes wherever you get your podcasts every Tuesday evening.

Part 2 of Series so far in conjunction with ChristiTutionalist TM Politics podcast providing historical context of America's Judeo/Christian Foundations based upon Biblical Community (Free Will, Charity, etc.) vs Worldly Communism (Force, Theft, etc.) as was already tried on our Soil back during the Bradford Colony Mayflower Communal Compact and they almost all starved to death. Bradford and the Colony then pivoted to Biblical FREE WILL (Freedom) and Personal/Individual Responsibilities and Rights over Collectivist one's (that fails to take in account Human Nature and some desires to do least possible, if not avoid shirking any responsibility at all, and eventually more in Cart than can pull the Cart and ATLAS SHRUGS); Private Property ownership, again over Collectivist concept which when no-one owns no-one has direct pride and taking actual ownership of the responsibilities for; etc.; and as they say THE REST IS HISTORY as our Founders learned from that initial Failure.

Emily and Amy did the damn thing. Meaning, they lived life early on a copy/paste version of what the world told them to be and how to act. This didn't always feel good, as a matter of fact, it started to feel really bad.They unsubscribed, and ventured onto a path that opened up the world's infinite possibilities - most importantly, they walk a path toward challenging their own biases or discomforts in an effort to always question a thought they were taught. This allows for a breakthrough in humanity, to create the balance we've never seen in this lifetime. Amy and Emily discussed their personal journeys, experiences with societal influences, and the importance of embracing individuality and connecting with nature and each other. They also shared their experiences as highly attuned individuals, their disillusionment with mainstream systems, and their desire to align with their true selves. The conversation also covered the need for unity and balance between the divine feminine and masculine, the importance of considering diverse perspectives and needs, and the importance of education and personal growth.Find Emily on LinkedIn and TikTok to follow her work and engage in a rich discussion about societal norms and breaking through.Thank you for tuning in to Women Making Moves!

 Hour 1—The Daily Big 3—   Live from STUDIO G- in the heart of America- I'm STEVE GRUBER- saying the things you wish you could -every day- Fighting for you from the Foxhole of Freedom and defending this great nation—  This is THE STEVE GRUBER SHOW!   Here are 3 big things you need to know right now—   Number One—    Number Two— The worldwide blowback on the globalists is being led by ordinary farmers—that have stood up all across Europe to rejct the plans that would bankrupt their farms and allow the government takeover of food production—   Number Three— The collectivist mentality is the cancer eating away at freedom in this country and around the world—   The farms are of course one huge example of the globalist cabal trying to convince the gullible that somehow the world will be a more secure and just place if government takes over the means of production—   Bite #2   This requires almost universal ignorance of course of world history and the catastrophic failures in this exact arena many times before—   Vladimir Lenin who was responsible for the starvation of millions of Russians beginning in 1920—and stretching well into the 1950's—by then under the iron fist of Joseph Stalin—and it came about when the Soviet government seized land from farmers—many of whom were either murdered outright or shipped off to hard labor camps where they were literally worked to death—   The numbers are hard to figure but it was certainly in the millions—   Not to be out done—the greatest mass murderer in world history Chinese Communist Party Chair Mao Tse Dong laid claim to all private farmland beginning in about 1957—and by 1959 he began the so-called Great Leap Forward—when crops failed and the move to collectivist farms caused the greatest famine in world history—a man made famine mind you—and an estimated 40 to 50 million Chinese literally starved to death—and were then forgotten by the world—   The socialist apologists have a quaint little saying about you have to break a few eggs to make an omelot—well in Mao's case he killed at least 80 million of his own people in pursuit of the socialist omelot—but it appears he was the only one eating—   And lets also be very very clear about why they are targeting the farms—because it is the very same reason the communists did it beginning in Russia in 1920—its all about power—and no matter what flag you fly it under, including climate change—its about controlling the food—to control the people—   Bite #3   This is all a very important history lesson to take in—as the globalist scumbags like John Kerry keep screeching about climate change and we must shut down farms to save the world—maybe quick survey of the failures of Karl Marx—on pretty much every single thing he ever wrote in his little red book she be reviewed and discussed before the government is ever again given any control of our food supply on such a scale—   The same could be said by the way for the giant factory farms—like Smithfield, which has been owned by China now for 20 years—and is the largest meat processor in America—and Smithfield controls roughly 80 percent of all hogs in The United States—   Shocking when you hear the truth isn't it?   And when you tie that attack on agriculture into the open border policies of these same far-left globalist politicians you have to ask yourself what are they doing?   And lets be perfectly clear about this—an open border IS the policy—that's why its open—and that is why more than 10,000 illegal aliens a day come into your country—and yes it is yours—NOT theirs—and it must raise a lot of questions—   For example—what is this garbage “Bi-partisan” border security package being pushed in the Senate?    It would allow the President to shut down the border if the surge is too big—BUT would still allow 4,000 illegals a day—day after day—every single day—and that is about 1.5 million a year illegally flowing in—give or take—   Does that sound like border security to you?   No, of course not—because it is not—it is just another slap across the face to you, the American people—   Citizenship is meaningless to these people who want to be global citizens—whatever the hell that is—and send you the bill for hundreds of billions of dollars—while fentanyl deaths explode well over 100,000 each year—human trafficking including the sexual exploitation of children explodes and the anger of ordinary Americans explode as well—   We must reject the leftist worldview that has failed 100% of the time ever since the Russian Royal family was brutally murdered in a violent coup in 1917—and no, it was not a revolution—it was a violent coup—its important to understand history—   And when nations are invaded—no matter what its called—when nations are invaded—the outcome is never good if those flooding in have no regard for the nation they are flooding into—   Bite #4   But former President Trump is maligned by the media—and smeared as a racist for putting America First—which of course is not true—   I am an America First guy—and so are more than half of all Americans—so the ones trying to keep this country safe and secure are actually the mainstream folks—and not the other way around—

"When all you have is a hammer every problem begins to look like a nail." Good philosophy is always trying to break up and recreate its map of the world. In this episode we are going to break up the Individualist model of the world a little and broaden our map to include the Collectivist perspectives. We talk a lot about Nihilism and the Meaning Crisis as if they are only to be understood as individual problems but the challenges and solutions that face us in the 21st century can't be understood merely from one angle. This episode is a case study in the Homelessness Crisis and how it looks from the vantage points of Individualism and Collectivism. ____________________

Understanding Collectivist Cultures https://www.simplypsychology.org/what-are-collectivistic-cultures.html Collectivism is the tendency, on the individual and societal level, to view oneself as interdependent, and a member of a group, rather than as an independent being. In collectivist cultures, people feel as if they belong to larger in-groups or collectives which care for them in exchange for loyalty.  As a result, collectivist cultures value collaboration, communalism, constructive interdependence, and conformity to roles and norms. A collectivist culture is especially likely to emphasize the importance of social harmony, respectfulness, and group needs over individual needs.

George Walsh (c.1923-2001) was one of those old-school professors who wrote little but read everything. This two-lecture series on Rousseau, delivered in the late 1980s, shines a spotlight on the great intellectual outlier of the Enlightenment. While Voltaire, the Physiocrats, Locke, Smith, and Hume promoted rationalism and individual freedom, Rousseau was a harsh, if sometimes veiled, critic of both. Walsh paints Rousseau as an early adopter of the Orwellian idea that “Freedom Is Slavery” – and the proto-totalitarian inspiration of not only the French Revolution, but the socialist and nationalist revolutions of the 19th and 20th centuries. The Salem Center's Bryan Caplan, who heard Walsh live in 1989, has plans to make all of Walsh's “lost” lectures on the history of ideas once again available to the curious public.

The one where Todd finally plants his flag! We're tribal critters who are bound by self-serving fictions; these stories are called cohesive narratives; national myths. And, in this country at least, the collectivist fairy tale of socialism is the antithesis of individualism; the "prepare the road for the child" mentality is mutually exclusive with our established American principle: meritocracy. Collectivist socialism and its "equity" cult is, therefore, an invasive species. Wokeism is an ideological insurgency. But from where? #111 also features the details of a lengthy and dramatic tribalism re-think, how data overload & its existential chaos push people toward idiocratic political cults, and foreshadowing hints about finding propaganda's Rosetta Stone! Answers are finally coming! But are they the ones you think you want?   "ToddzillaX" on most social media.

In this podcast, we take a tour with Dr. Brent Talbot Balinese gamelan  through the lens of agency and performativity. Exploring diverse cultures of Bali and the US, we ask questions of how we construct agency and stories of our performances in collectivist and individualistic contexts. We take the time to explore Talbot's resource, Gending Rare and the work of Made Taro.  While US notions of agency assume individualistic contexts, we ask about the potential to live into agency that is embraced by community.

"Every child deserves a champion: an adult who will never give up on them, who understands the power of connection and insists they become the best they can possibly be." Rita Pierson, Educator. Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/feNGn-cpPP8 For returning guests, welcome back to The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast for EPISODE #225 with a case study from someone I've mentioned before on the podcast, Elizabeth Mercado, from Ossining Union Free SD, New York, who you will see is a strong force with a goal to support ALL students, with the most comprehensive SEL plans that I've ever seen. I'll be sure to link her plans and resources in the show notes for you to access and use it you would like, since her goal is to help all of us to move our students forward, with as much support as possible. This interview takes a look at SEL with an equity lens, with clear examples of how to begin, what to do, and what SEL looks like in her District.  I do love hearing how people around the globe are implementing the ideas we share with you on this podcast (it really does help with new ideas and motivation) and Ellie Mercado, an Assistant Principal in Ossining, NY, let me know that she was inspired by what she was learning to support her students and staff. Little did I know just how much she would inspire me, with her story and thorough SEL plans that I think everyone in education could benefit from. You will see in this interview that I made more connections with her story, that I think is important to share with everyone here, because just one new piece of information or motivation, can have a huge ripple effect on the world. A bit about Elizabeth Mercado: She's an ENL immigrant student who came at twelve years old from the Dominican Republic without speaking English, to a poor neighborhood in the South Bronx, living in a 1500 sq feet apartment with 8 children ages 12 and younger and 4 adults, and experienced first-hand what it is to have challenges growing up and in school.  This experience gave her an in depth understanding of the impact of how our cultural, racial/ethnic, linguistic, and economic backgrounds can impact our learning.  This is why she's passionate about being an educator and wants to create the best learning environment for her staff and students in the Ossining Community where many of them come from a similar background.  She believes that ALL students can be successful.  She is a middle school and early childhood assistant principal for the last seven years and one year as an elementary early childhood assistant principal whose goal is to provide her students with a safe, trusting and nurturing learning environment where they feel included, respected, supported; recognizing that every student and staff member has unique strengths.  She believes it is important to be intentional about all that they do since it makes a difference: the images on the walls; pictures in the books, holidays recognized; accepting and celebrating all; promoting student agency, voice and choice is all critical so students feel that they belong.    I hope that Elizabeth's story inspires you, whether you are working in a school, or in some other capacity, to think of where to begin when looking at SEL through an equity lens. Let's meet Elizabeth Mercado. Welcome Ellie, It's incredible to meet you finally after all the support you have sent our way with the podcast. I'm so grateful that you reached out to us and shared your SEL implementation with us. I've never seen anything as thorough, with a clear way to begin and knew immediately that we needed to share your work on the podcast. Thank you for being here when I know time is always hard to come by. Intro Q: I've got to start and leverage off the emotions I felt watching your presentation with how you are implementing SEL with an equity lens at Ossining SD in New York[i], because your story shows exactly why SEL skills are important in our schools, and why they must transition into the workplace. Can we begin with your “WHY” and why you are so passionate about implementing SEL with an equity lens to share your story since I related to you on a million different levels and I'm sure others will as well? Intro B: While I definitely connected with your story from the point of view of those newcomer students, coming to the US and needing to navigate their way (like that one student who came to your school, and her biggest question to you was “how did you learn English?”) I also thought about ways these students could be leaders in their schools, and raise their voice up, instead of the experience you had where the teacher didn't understand you. I think of my girls in Arizona, in a Dual Language Instruction program (learning their subjects in Spanish for half the day) and lost without Google Translator (that they aren't supposed to use in class). The Spanish speaking students are like gold to them, as they need them to survive. I just wonder, while new students coming to Ossining are learning to fit in, can their Spanish be used to help other students? I ask this because I know how much my girls rely on those who are fluent in Spanish. Q1: We are going to get into the details of what you have built in Ossining SD, but from watching SEL come into our schools across the US in waves (I would follow Linda Dusenbury[ii] from Casel and her Collaborating States Initiative from the very beginning when only 8 states had SEL initiatives). Like someone mentioned on your presentation that you sent me, the biggest question Districts still have with implementing SEL is “where do we begin?”  Before you share your comprehensive SEL structure that you've built, can you take us back to the beginning, BEFORE you created what you have now, and tell us what you remember about your starting point? Q2: We've all heard that students just need one champion to make a life-long difference and I don't know an educator who hasn't watched Rita Pierson's TED TALK “Every Kid Needs a Champion”[iii] that has over 13 million views. Did your District always have the vision of SEL though an equity lens with the demographics in your District? Over 70% LatinX or Blacks. Q3: Can you share the 6 Recommendations you covered in your recent training with tips on how to actually begin each one? Q4: When I saw the quote from District Superintendent Dr. James Ryan that said “Social and Emotional Learning and Equity” two of the most important issues facing educators today, and seeing your passion for spearheading this movement forward, I couldn't help but wonder what your vision is with this work?  Do you do workshops for schools to help them implement their plans? What do you see in the future? Q5: Is there anything important that I have missed? I know that you shared a recent presentation about how you are growing a sense of community in your District. Can you share what you did here, and anything else that's important that I've missed? Elizabeth, I want to thank you so much for reaching out to me, and sharing your story. What you have built with SEL through the lens of equity at Ossining is unlike anything I've ever seen, and I know your story and resources will help educators, as well as those in the workplace who would like to start somewhere with an equity and leadership plan.  There is such strength and power that comes from you, and I know this is not at all how  you felt all those years ago when you were standing there in your English class, and couldn't find the words to read your poem. I want to thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for the vulnerability that you have shown, to share your story, and how it's helping so many others. For those who want to learn more about what you are doing at Ossining, what's the best way? Are there any resources others can access? Andrea's Final Thoughts: This episode hit me pretty hard on the emotional level, that was obvious throughout, especially the end. I had to step away from my desk to think about why. I know how important this work is, but there was something about Ellie's story that moved me deeply. After thinking about it for a while, I made the connection. We all know “why” we do what we do, and that's an important part of our self-awareness, to keep us moving forward when times are difficult. Why I do what I do with this podcast is to lift up those students, like Ellie, who needed encouragement to access the unlimited potential that we can see she has. Her story of reading that poem in class made me remember when I first saw the importance of these SEL skills before they were called this, in the late 1990s, when I was working for Bob Proctor seminars and I watched him working with this group of 12 teens. If you've heard this story, you'll know why Ellie's background hit me on the emotional level. The moment I knew that SEL was going to be an important part of my future was when I saw these kids showcasing the skills they had been learning (things like improving their attitude, mindset and setting goals) and there was this one boy, Brian, who struggled to speak when it was his turn. You couldn't blame him. He was on stage at the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans in front of thousands of people, and the speaker went behind him and rubbed his back to calm him down so that he could get his words out. This moment is etched in stone for me as a pivotal moment in time. Imagine if Ellie had a teacher who helped and encouraged her when she was struggling with her poem. It only takes one person to skyrocket or champion a student, and I'm so glad that Ellie found her champion. That's why I spend the time to record these podcasts, hoping that maybe just one idea will help one student like Ellie, to take her talents into the world with strength and courage, to truly make an impact. If I was ever to end this podcast (and I don't plan on it, as I'm just too curious to keep learning and sharing new ideas) but I would end it with this episode, as it does come full circle for me with why social and emotional skills are important in our schools and workplaces today. Do you know your why? Why do you do what you do? While I know my why is just as clear as the day we launched this podcast, I know there is still so much to explore and learn in the field of neuroscience, like we saw with Dr. Jalal's episode on dreams. As new discoveries with the brain and learning are uncovered, I'd love to share them here, so we can all access and use them in our life, and I stick to what I've always said. As long as listeners find these topics interesting, we will continue to produce more episodes. And with that, I'll close out this episode and will see you on Friday for this week's Brain Fact Friday, where we will look closer at Dr. Jalal's work on the dreaming brain, which expanded my awareness beyond where it has ever been. I hope you enjoyed this episode with Ellie Mercado. You can find all the links to follow her work and access her resources in the show notes. See you on Friday.

Dr.  Dan talks with Lawrence Sellin, a retired U.S. Army Reserve colonel with branch qualifications and assignments in Special Forces, Infantry, Chemical, and Medical Services. He served in Afghanistan and Iraq and participated in a special operations mission to West Africa. The two will discuss Sellin's book,“Restoring the Republic:  Arguments for a Second American Revolution.”

Domestic violence is a universally horrific experience, but the path to surviving it is considerably harder for women who are immigrants and refugees. In Washington DC, a hub for African immigrants, the violence may start at home but because many victims are undocumented, the police and court systems are often unsympathetic and become abusers as well. Few social service providers speak their language or have a cultural connection. And when the abuser is the person who brought them to this country, is the father of their children and has documented status, the power differential is overwhelming. These circumstances led Amelia Missieledies, an Ethiopian social worker, to launch the Person Center in 2013. Her sheer fortitude produced a new level of awareness about trauma-informed care and the potential of women to become their own best advocates. After her passing, Lul Mohamud, Amelia's mentee, signed on to lead the organization. She is the daughter of Somali immigrants, is trained in restorative justice and is deeply connected to the women she serves. Lul is creating a new model of care for marginalized communities and is laying the foundation for her own transformation making legacy.    

How does self-interested action benefit the collective?   This is a question still discussed today in the tribalism of left-right political debate. On the one side, there are those who believe the good of the collective must supersede the interest of the individual and the two cannot coexist. Slogans such as ‘for the many not the few' and ‘for the common good' exemplify this.    An interesting question therefore arises from this crucial debate. Why do we care so much about the collective?  Is it as simple as left vs right, Marxism Vs Capitalism? Or is there a deeper understanding to this issue?  In this episode of the IEA Podcast, IEA Communications and Public Affairs Officer Kieran Neild-Ali sat down with Professor Daniel B Klein to discuss his article in the latest volume of the IEA's academic journal, Economic Affairs, on Hayekian theory of collectivist policies.   Daniel Klein is a Professor of Economics at George Mason University. He leads the Smithian Political Economy program at GMU Economics. He is the chief editor of Econ Journal Watch.  Subscribe to the IEA academic journal here: https://iea.org.uk/publications/economic-affairs-42-1/

Limited testing, no vaccine mandate, no quarantine housing, echo chambers, and a soon-to-be lifted mask mandate. What does this mean for UNC? Tune in to our second episode of the Spring semester to hear Max and Annette duke it out over Individualist and Collectivist approaches to handling a virus like COVID-19. In this episode, Samad and Andy challenge the lenses of collectivism and individualism regarding public health in the UNC community. After a rough start to the Fall 2022 semester with high numbers of positive cases, the university is taking a much more hands-off approach to managing the health of its faculty, staff, and students.

The Cross & The Culture | Solzhenitsyn's BaptistsThe Gulag Archipelago is a comprehensive volume which details the intricate connection between Marxist ideology and the evils of the Soviet system. Collectivist ideologies (Socialism, Marxism, Communism, and Nazi Germany) are the most oft-repeated and failed ideological systems the world has known. Rather than causing the working men to unite, they prove to be forms of societal torture. The extensive three-volume set of Solzhenitsyn's book began with the release of "One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich." In the words of Solzhenitsyn himself, the publication of this book caused a dam to break loose. Letters began to flood in detailing the experiences of the Soviet Union's tormented citizens. An entire country was subject to Communism's finest, and Solzhenitsyn was going to tell their horror stories. He became overwhelmed by their trust and vulnerability, which produced in him a personal duty to publish this information. Many of these letters came from people who were still subject to their tormentors.Website: https://plenteousredemption.com/ Plenteous Redemption Podcast: https://www.plenteousredemption.media/

Discover what's possible when values inform the method.  Mari Cerda is an Autistic Board Certified Behavior Analyst who consults with teachers and schools to provide professional development training on various neurodiversity-affirming topics. She is also completing her doctoral program at Texas Tech University.  As a Latina Mestiza, Mari is passionate about supporting displaced migrant families and their children with disabilities who enter the school system. She is the co-founder of The LEAP Institute, a non-profit whose mission is to increase equitable access for marginalized groups entering into the field of applied behavior analysis, or ABA. Through her Instagram account @the.blingual.bcba, Mari hopes to educate and mediate between the worlds of autism and ABA.  In this conversation, we discuss:  Mari's process of discovering and accepting her late diagnosis How autism is understood in Native and Latinx cultures The intersectionality of neurodiversity and race Her collectivist approach to providing services Ideas to bridge the divide between the Autistic community and ABA  Before we get into the interview, I'd like to clarify a couple of terms that came up in case you're not familiar with them. The first one is “ableism,” which is discrimination or social prejudice against people with disabilities based on the belief that typical abilities are superior. Ableism can manifest as an attitude, stereotype, or offensive comment or behavior.  The second term is “extinction-based,” which refers to an ABA strategy used to reduce unwanted behaviors. For example, imagine a child is screaming because they want a piece of chocolate. We could give the child some chocolate so they would stop screaming, but that could actually have the opposite effect, leading the child to scream every time they want chocolate. In contrast, an extinction-based procedure would entail not giving the child any chocolate when they are screaming in order to reduce that behavior. Extinction-based procedures are controversial because they can be traumatic for learners. Side effects may include anger, frustration, and in some cases even depression.  I truly believe that, when implemented with a compassionate, client-centered approach, the science of ABA can help individuals reach goals that will enable them to live fulfilling lives. We have a lot of unlearning to do as a field, and we need guidance from autistic voices to ensure that our services are in line with neurodivergent values.  Are you a self-advocate willing to share your experiences and educate others?
