Some of the language we all use in family court every day didn't always exist. The word “co-parenting” is one of them — and the attorney credited with introducing it sits down with us in this conversation. Anne P. Mitchell was one of the first two attorneys in the United States to fight for a child's right to an ongoing relationship with their father after separation, and what she learned across decades in the trenches of high-conflict custody is exactly what targeted parents need to hear today.In this first part of our conversation, Anne walks us through the warning signs that a false allegation of abuse is on its way, the simple steps that protect you before one ever lands, and the co-parent counseling model she helped pioneer — including the surprisingly effective way to get a judge to order it.

This week, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on five-time Grammy-nominated composer Suzanne Ciani.Suzanne has spent decades innovating electronic music on the Buchla synthesizer, an instrument as intimate to her as any acoustic musician's.Suzanne has multiple projects out this year: CIANI/ORKEST, a live album with the fifty-piece Metropole Orkest, conducted by Simon Dobson; a collaborative live album with British electronic producer Actress; and the score for John Wilson's idiosyncratic new documentary, The History of Concrete.We talk about why an artist who's needed total control throughout her career said yes to an orchestra, a producer, and a filmmaker all in one year, what it's like hearing an instrument built for one pair of hands answered by fifty more, and her pet peeve about volume at live shows.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Suzanne Ciani's CIANI/ORKEST)—Dig DeeperArtist and Album:Visit Suzanne Ciani at sevwave.com and follow on Instagram and YouTube; her catalog is on Bandcamp.Purchase CIANI/ORKEST on quadraphonic vinyl from AKP Recordings and digitally from Bandcamp or Qobuz.

Australia is entering a new era of climate accountability. As mandatory carbon reporting becomes law, businesses are being forced to rethink how they measure risk, manage emissions, and remain competitive. At the same time, the explosive growth of AI is driving unprecedented demand for data centres—bringing new questions about energy, water, infrastructure, and the environmental cost of our digital future.In this episode of Light, Cities & Architecture, architect Antony DiMase is joined by sustainability consultant Luke Fernandez and architect Ahmed Elsayed to unpack one of the most significant shifts facing the built environment and Australian industry.Together, they explore Australia's new Sustainability Reporting Standards (ASRS), how climate disclosure requirements are reshaping supply chains and procurement, why architects are increasingly leading sustainability conversations, and what the rapid expansion of AI infrastructure means for communities, energy systems, and climate policy.The discussion also examines the gap between voluntary sustainability initiatives and enforceable regulation, the growing importance of embodied carbon and climate risk in design decisions, and whether our economic models are equipped to deliver a genuinely low-carbon future.This conversation connects architecture, business, technology, governance, and climate into one compelling story about the systems shaping the places we build—and the future we're creating.In this episode you'll discover:Why Australia's mandatory carbon reporting laws are transforming corporate governance.How climate disclosure is reshaping supply chains and procurement.The role architects play in reducing embodied carbon and driving sustainable design.Why AI data centres are becoming one of Australia's fastest-growing environmental challenges.The policy gaps between digital infrastructure growth and climate responsibility.Why legislation—not voluntary action—is emerging as the key driver of meaningful emissions reduction.How new economic thinking, including Doughnut Economics, challenges traditional models of growth.Whether you're an architect, engineer, sustainability professional, business leader, policymaker, or simply curious about the intersection of climate, technology, and the built environment, this episode offers valuable insights into one of Australia's most important transitions."This isn't just about carbon reporting or data centres—it's about how we design the systems that determine what kind of future we build."https://www.finance.gov.au/government/public-data/data-and-digital-ministers-meeting/national-framework-assurance-artificial-intelligence-governmenthttps://www.digital.gov.au/ai/ai-in-government-policyhttps://new.gbca.org.au/news/gbca-media-releases/gbca-launches-sustainable-data-centres-program/Special Offer: ASRS Essentials CPDTo celebrate the podcast, Luke is offering free access to the ASRS Essentials CPD for the first 20 registrations.First 20 people: Free with coupon code ARCH-CPDAfter the first 20: Regular price $87

Original Air Date: July 18, 2026 Episode Number: 468Episode SummarySome exterior surfaces are one-way doors. You can paint them -- but once you do, something changes permanently, or close enough to it that you should know what you're signing up for before you start. Dan opens with a story about a pair of jeans he turned into extremely short shorts without measuring first, and uses it to frame a conversation about five exterior surfaces where the same logic applies: brick, foundation, natural stone, decks, and vinyl siding.Timestamps[00:00] -- Points of No Return[00:56] -- Jorts Origin Story[02:31] -- Cut Once, Regret[06:06] -- Neighbor Catches You[07:30] -- Painting One-Way Doors[10:40] -- Brick Painting Reality[14:03] -- Brick Breathability and Options[15:17] -- Foundation Paint Tradeoffs[17:00] -- Moisture and Cracks Warning[18:54] -- Natural Stone Teaser[19:38] -- Natural Stone Risks[21:33] -- Updating Dated Stone[22:40] -- Resale Impact Warning[24:04] -- Why Deck Paint Fails[25:18] -- Stain vs. Paint[27:32] -- Removing Deck Paint[28:57] -- Vinyl Siding Setup[31:58] -- Color, Heat, and Warping[35:04] -- Vinyl Safe Colors[36:41] -- Best Practice Checklist[37:28] -- Get Expert Help[38:21] -- Car Show Wrap UpThe Jorts Story [00:56]Dan had a pair of blown-out jeans he decided to cut into work shorts. He eyeballed the cut instead of measuring. Part of his brain told him not to. He ignored it. The resulting shorts were dramatically too short -- Daisy Dukes, his word -- and he wore them up a ladder in the backyard because there was no other option. His neighbor appeared, smirked, and delivered the full measure-twice-cut-once speech. No photos exist.Brick [10:40]Painted brick is permanent for all practical purposes. Stripping paint off brick is expensive and usually damages the face. That means when you paint brick, you're not just picking a color -- you're becoming a painted brick house, likely forever.Two other things to keep in mind: you're creating maintenance that didn't exist before (a painted surface will need refreshing every 5-10 years), and you need the right product. Standard paint can trap moisture inside the masonry, and in Michigan winters, freeze-thaw cycles can cause spalling -- the face of the brick literally flaking off.For a better option, RepcoLite carries Roma Bio Limewash and Roma Bio Mineral Paint. Both are breathable and bond with the brick rather than sitting on top of it. They create a great old-world look and mostly sidestep the moisture problems. Still a point of no return, but a much lower-maintenance one.Foundation [15:17]Same logic as brick. Concrete block and poured concrete are porous and move moisture. Once you paint them, you're on a maintenance cycle. Before painting, address any efflorescence (white, fuzzy salt deposits), persistent peeling, or visible water intrusion -- paint won't fix those, it'll just cover the symptoms. And don't paint over foundation cracks without understanding what caused them. Ayers Basement Systems can evaluate for free in most cases.Natural Stone [19:38]What makes natural stone beautiful is the variation -- every piece is different, the light catches the texture differently, it has depth. Painting it covers all of that. The texture stays, but the richness is gone. Sometimes painted stone looks great. Sometimes it ends up looking a little fake. Worth thinking about before you open the can.If the stone is genuinely dated and you want to update it, a solid color is a reasonable fix -- but if you're planning to sell the house soon, be cautious. There's a portion of buyers who will see painted-over fieldstone as a problem. Since getting that paint back off is essentially the same story as brick, it's their problem too.Decks [24:04]A deck is one of the harshest environments on a property. Rain, snow, sun, foot traffic, patio furniture -- it's brutal on a film-forming coating like paint. When deck paint eventually fails, it chips, cracks, and peels, and refreshing it means scraping and sanding before you can recoat. It's a much harder maintenance cycle than most people expect going in.For most decks, a quality deck stain is a better answer. It wears out by fading, and when it's time to refresh, you clean and recoat. For decks in rough enough shape that you need solid coverage, look at WoodLux or RepcoLite WoodMaster -- both deliver an opaque look but form a thinner, more breathable coating than paint that handles the wood's expansion and contraction better.If you've already got paint on a deck and need to remove it, RepcoLite rents a floor sander that's built for the job. It's still not fun, but it's the best option available.Vinyl Siding [28:57]The point of no return here is color. Darker colors absorb more heat. If the new color you choose is significantly darker than the original vinyl color, the panels can absorb enough heat to expand beyond what they're designed for -- causing warping, buckling, or sagging. Once that happens, it's permanent. Repainting lighter can slow or stop it from getting worse, but won't undo what's already warped. This is not rare. Look at houses in your neighborhood and you'll find examples.Benjamin Moore has a collection of about 75 vinyl safe colors formulated with pigments that reflect more infrared heat, so a darker-looking color doesn't absorb heat the same way a standard formula would. These are a real step forward -- but they're not a blank check. The quality and thickness of your vinyl, your sun exposure, and whether you're using the right paint product all factor in. Vinyl safe colors are intended for use in Regal Select, Aura, or Element Guard specifically.Dan's checklist: check your vinyl manufacturer's repainting recommendations, use a Benjamin Moore vinyl safe color, use it in Regal Select, Aura, or Element Guard, and don't push dramatically darker than the original color if you can help it.Bottom Line [37:28]For any of these surfaces, stop into any RepcoLite before you start. Bring pictures, bring samples, bring whatever you've got. The staff can help you work through the right product, the right color, and the right approach so you're not finding out what you didn't know on the back end of a project you can't undo.EventsCar show at Lakewood RepcoLite -- July 18, 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Classic cars, trucks, motorcycles, and the Corvette Club.

Ankara, un vertice NATO tra promesse concrete e crepe transatlantiche.A cura di Domenico Frascà di Frascà & Partners, Analisi geopolitica e politico-istituzionale.

For years, Eric Cooper of Forest Moon Paranormal, based in Concrete, Washington, has investigated some of the Pacific Northwest's most intriguing mysteries. From haunted locations and ghostly encounters to cryptid sightings, Sasquatch reports, UFO activity, and claims of extraterrestrial contact and abduction, Eric has dedicated himself to searching for answers where conventional explanations often fall short. His investigations combine traditional field research with an open mind, allowing him to examine the strange through multiple lenses while documenting evidence from some of the region's most active paranormal hotspots.Tonight on Spaced Out Radio, Eric joins Dave Scott to explore a compelling question that continues to challenge researchers around the world: Are ghosts, Bigfoot, UFOs, ET encounters, and other unexplained phenomena all connected? The conversation dives into remote viewing, consciousness, and the possibility that these seemingly separate mysteries may stem from the same underlying source. If the paranormal is more interconnected than we've ever imagined, what does that reveal about our reality—and our place within it? Prepare for a fascinating discussion that crosses the boundaries of the unexplained.Spaced Out Radio is your nightly source for alternative information, starting at 9pm Pacific, 12am Eastern.  We broadcast LIVE every night. #UFO #UAP #AlienDisclosure #UFOSightings #UFOCoverUp #Aliens #SpacedOutRadio #Paranormal #UFOCommunity #disclosure -------------------------------------------------------You can now join the Space Traveler's Club;Join us at  https://www.patreon.com/sor_space_travelers_club  --------------------------------------------------------Grab Our Latest Spaced Out Radio Gear At:http://spacedoutradio.com/shop  It's a great way to support our show!--------------------------------------------------------OUR LINKS:TWITTER: https://www.twitter.com/spacedoutradio   FACEBOOK:https://www.facebook.com/spacedoutradioshow  SPACED OUT RADIO - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/spacedoutradioshow  DAVE SCOTT - INSTAGRAM:https://www.instagram.com/davescottsor   TWITCH: https://www.twitch.com/spacedoutradioshow  WEBSITE: http://www.spacedoutradio.comGUEST IDEAS OR QUESTIONS FOR SOR?Contact Klaus at bookings@spacedoutradio.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spaced-out-radio--1657874/support.

JOIN THE ACADEMY! VISIT CONCRETESCHOOL.CO TO START LEARNING TODAY.ON THIS EPISODE OF THE CONCRETE LOGIC PODCASTAre we specifying air entrainment in concrete that does not need it?Seth is joined by Dr. Bruno Fong Martinez, Baker Construction's concrete materials expert, to examine when air entrainment protects concrete and when it creates unnecessary problems.Air entrainment improves durability where concrete experiences repeated freezing, thawing, and moisture saturation. But Bruno argues that the industry often requires it in climates where that exposure does not exist.That decision can reduce compressive strength, complicate testing, change mix performance, and contribute to rejected trucks and wasted material.The conversation challenges engineers and contractors to move beyond copied specifications and evaluate air requirements based on the actual environment, exposure, and project risk.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN · The difference between entrapped air and entrained air · How air voids help protect saturated concrete during freezing · Why freeze-thaw damage depends on repeated freezing and thawing cycles · Why colder locations do not always experience the most freeze-thaw damage · How air entrainment complicates concrete production and acceptance testing · Why air content can change during transportation, mixing, and pumping · How additional air can reduce compressive strength · Why strength loss may lead to more cement and greater thermal concerns · How freezing and precipitation maps could improve regional specifications · Why copied specifications can require air in environments that do not need it · How early specification reviews and RFIs can reduce waste and concrete problemsCHAPTERS (00:00) Introduction and support for the show (03:34) Why unnecessary air entrainment matters (05:07) Where air may and may not be necessary (06:27) Entrapped air versus entrained air (09:21) How air protects concrete during freezing (11:40) Why freeze-thaw cycles matter (12:48) Testing, rejected trucks, and concrete waste (14:41) Strength loss and contractor concerns (16:05) What happens to air during pumping (17:22) Mapping freezing and saturation risk (19:24) Why copied specifications create problems (22:15) Building industry agreement around air entrainment (24:25) Guest information and final takeawaysGUEST INFO Dr. Bruno Fong Martinez Concrete Materials Expert Baker Construction Guest link: https://www.concretelogicpodcast.com/guests/bruno-fong-martinez/CONCRETE LOGIC ACADEMY The people who understand concrete are the people who get listened to.

Noam Segal is a longtime research leader across Airbnb, Meta, Twitter, Zapier, Intercom, and Figma, a certified coach, AI builder, and my community research lead. Together, we run the annual Tech Worker Sentiment Survey, now in its second year and one of the largest of its kind: a quantitative study of how people in tech actually feel about their jobs, AI, burnout, and the future of their careers. This year's survey captured responses from thousands of workers across product, engineering, design, research, marketing, data, and sales, and the results are striking.In our in-depth conversation, we discuss:1. Why AI has split the tech workforce almost exactly in half—one half that's thriving, another that's shaken2. The four emotional archetypes defining tech workers right now (the Energized, the Conflicted, the Disoriented, and the Resentful)3. Why burnout has jumped an alarming 11 points in a single year4.

If you live in a city, you've probably had that moment in the middle of the night. You hear a scratching in the walls, or you catch the glowing eyes of a raccoon peering out from a dumpster, and for a second, the concrete world feels a lot less 'controlled' than we like to pretend. We've been taught to think of cities as 'biological deserts'—places where nature goes to die. But my guest today, Dan Werb, says that's a myth we tell ourselves to feel safe. Dan is an award-winning epidemiologist and a musician, and in his new book, Our Wild Familiars, he explores the 'synanthropes'—the wild creatures that aren't our pets, but aren't quite strangers either. They are the coyotes, the bats, and even the octopuses that are learning to use our cities as laboratories for their own rapid evolution. He's also the author of The Invisible Siege and City of Omens.(0:02) The unexpected biodiversity of urban areas and wild familiars(1:18) What is a Synanthrope?(4:15) The Myth of the Biological Desert(8:04) The Ancestral Bond between early humans, ravens, and foxes(9:15) Crows and Grudges(12:42) Stepping Stones in the Concrete(14:20) The Epidemiological Triangle(17:58) The Illusion of AI Connection(19:56) The Museum of MemoryEpisode Websitewww.creativeprocess.info/podInstagram:@creativeprocesspodcast

In 2003, construction workers smashing up the basement of a former Manhattan nightclub broke through a slab of concrete and uncovered a rolled rug, a skull, and the bound, strangled remains of a teenage girl no one could name. For more than twenty years she was “Midtown Jane Doe,” a mystery buried under Hell's Kitchen, until forensic genealogy finally matched her degraded DNA to a 9/11 victim's mother and revealed she was 16‑year‑old Patricia Kathleen McGlone from Brooklyn, a runaway bride and new mother who was never even reported missing.Now investigators know Patricia married musician Donald Grant and that his address was the very building where her body was entombed in concrete, making him a key person of interest but her husband, her baby, and her killer have all vanished into the same silence that kept her hidden for decades.

JOIN THE ACADEMY! VISIT CONCRETESCHOOL.CO TO START LEARNING TODAY. ON THIS EPISODE OF THE CONCRETE LOGIC PODCAST Does exterior concrete always need entrained air to survive freezing and thawing? Seth is joined by Jason Adams, founder and CEO of Mega Slab, to challenge that long-standing practice. Jason argues that a properly designed, highly dense concrete system may limit water intrusion enough to reduce the need for entrained air. Seth presses on the risks, including mix design, workability, finishing, curing, and specification requirements. Jason makes clear that he is not recommending contractors simply remove air from a standard mix. His approach depends on treating the concrete as a complete system. The episode asks a practical question: Should exterior concrete be designed to give freezing water room to expand, or should the priority be keeping water out in the first place? WHAT YOU'LL LEARN What air entrainment is intended to do during freeze-thaw exposureThe difference between entrained air and naturally entrapped airWhy Jason believes entrained air can reduce concrete densityHow dense concrete may limit water and chloride intrusionWhy removing air from a standard exterior mix is not enoughHow aggregate packing and optimized mix designs affect permeabilityWhy air-entrained concrete should not be hard-trowel finishedHow entrained air can affect workability and finishingWhy specifications and established practices may resist this approachWhat field performance Jason has observed in Midwestern pavementsWhy mix design, placement, finishing, curing, and fibers must work as a system CHAPTERS (00:00) Introduction and support for the show (03:24) Jason Adams and the air-void question (04:56) Freeze-thaw testing and ASTM standards (05:46) What air entrainment is designed to do (07:26) Jason challenges the traditional approach (08:52) Can dense concrete keep water out?

Not the loudest person in the meeting. Not the person saying, “We have always done it this way.” The person who understands why air, water, density, finishing, and curing affect performance usually has the most valuable voice in the room.

Concrete joins "The @smoothvega Podcast" On this episode we discuss the Journey That Shaped Concrete in his most honest conversation yet. Like. Comment. Follow.

Concrete has shaped the modern world in ways most people rarely notice. This episode explores the history of concrete, how it is made, why it became one of the most widely used building materials on Earth, and how engineers continue to use it to create everything from roads and bridges to dams and skyscrapers. Along the way, you'll hear about ancient Roman construction, cement production, reinforced concrete, and the science behind structures designed to last for generations. It's steady and consistent, with no whispering and no sudden changes, just enough to give your mind something to follow as you wind down. Happy sleeping!

You sit down to work on your business, not in it, but on it. Two hours later you have a 14-page Google Doc, a color-coded spreadsheet, and a project management system you've never opened before. And you haven't done a single thing that moves the needle. That's not preparation. That's procrastination with lipstick on it. Over-planning is fear in disguise and it's the number one thing keeping smart entrepreneurs stuck. In this solo episode, George breaks down why concrete actions always beat elaborate strategies, the real cost of waiting until you feel ready, and the simple 24-hour rule that breaks the planning loop for good. This one pairs directly with last week's 3M capacity episode. Together, they're a daily execution playbook. What You'll Learn In This Episode: Why over-planning is procrastination dressed up and how to spot it in yourself The Jeff Bezos 70% rule: why waiting for certainty kills momentum The three things small concrete actions give you that strategies never can Why clarity comes after action, not before it The 24-hour rule: one question that breaks any planning loop How to separate ideas worth pursuing from ones that only sound good on paper Why the market, not your Google Doc, is the only thing that gives you real data Key Takeaways: ✔️A perfect plan you never execute is just a very expensive journal entry. ✔️19% of businesses fail due to weak execution, not bad ideas, bad products, or bad markets. ✔️Most decisions should be made with about 70% of the information you wish you had. Waiting for 100% means the moment passes and the fear grows. ✔️Small, concrete actions create three things strategies never do: feedback, momentum, and clarity. ✔️Clarity is not a prerequisite for action. It is almost always a byproduct of it. You cannot think your way into clarity, you act your way into it. ✔️The 24-hour rule: anytime you find yourself over-planning, ask one question, what's the one thing I can do in the next 24 hours that gives me a piece of data to know if this is worth pursuing? ✔️Over-planning beyond a reasonable window is never about being thorough. There's usually something underneath it, fear of rejection, fear of failure, or fear of finding out. ✔️The market is the only one that decides if you win. Build the feedback loop with them, not around them. ✔️Stack this with the 3M model from last episode: must move, must maintain, must release. Together they're a daily execution system.

Write down the one action you can take in the next 24 hours. Not the launch. Not the full strategy. Just the first move. Then tell George what it is, DM him on Instagram or email through the site.

"The most depressed, anxious, addicted, and self-destructive generation in American culture—we created this world." In this episode, Matt Bradley (Partnership Manager at WhyFire and Editor of The Fire Time Magazine) makes a provocative argument from his 2026 HPBExpo class: the reason you can't hire or inspire young workers isn't pay, schedules, or time off—it's a culture that's stripped them of meaning. He traces the problem back to Nietzsche and offers an ancient antidote. In this episode, Matt covers: - Why higher pay, flexible schedules, and more paid time off won't fix your hiring problem—and what young people actually crave instead. - The "fortitude formula"—moral purpose times sources of strength—and how Viktor Frankl found meaning in a concentration camp. - Concrete interview questions and shop-floor practices that work, including why you should drop the sarcasm and never assume Gen Z is lazy. Don't miss this one if you've ever caught yourself blaming "kids these days"—Matt argues that mindset is just an easy way to let yourself off the hook, and he hands you a practical playbook to mentor the most capable hires you've been overlooking. —— Links from this episode: WhyFire Fireplace AI Visualizer http://whyfire.com —— Watch this podcast on YouTube: https://youtu.be/nBRD5lY_m7k Listen on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-fire-time-podcast/id1433804268 Listen on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4vHdzg48bE5qFf0KjMeMej?si=7b6cae3923d348f2 Read The Fire Time Magazine: https://www.itsfiretime.com/magazine Subscribe to The Fire Time Magazine: https://itsfiretime.com/subscribe Support The Fire Time Podcast financially: https://www.itsfiretime.com/join

One sidewalk ollie can start a whole life. Aaron Mullins joins us to rewind the tape from South Florida to Jacksonville, where skateboarding goes from a kid's obsession to a full-on compass. We talk first boards, the Back to the Future spark, and what it felt like walking into Kona Skatepark for the first time with the “wrong” setup and the right amount of hunger. If you care about Jacksonville skateboarding history, Florida skate culture, or how a scene shapes a person, this one hits home.We get into the crew years: learning from skate videos, chasing progression in the streets, and linking up with skaters who are simply on another level. Aaron breaks down how Lindsay Robertson's skating lit a fire, how contests and early sponsorships actually worked, and why being around the right people can keep you from fading out. We also talk about the unglamorous parts: building your own obstacles, getting hurt, and the weird mental space where you land something big and barely remember doing it.Then we deliver what people keep asking for: the real origin story of “Dr. Jones,” straight from the days of Lighthouse Park and the chaos that follows a good session. We close with gratitude for Kona, the legends who came through, and the stoke that stays even when life, work, and injuries get loud. If you've ever had skateboarding pull you out of a rough season, you'll recognize the feeling.Subscribe for more long-form skate stories, share this with a friend who grew up at the park, and leave a review if you want us to keep bringing the Jacksonville lineage to the mic.

Should Conversion Therapy Be Protected Speech? What Chiles v. Salazar Means for Conversion Therapy Bans and the Future of the Profession In Chiles v. Salazar, the Supreme Court ruled 8 to 1 that a therapist's talk therapy is protected speech, putting state conversion therapy bans at risk. Curt Widhalm, LMFT, and Katie Vernoy, LMFT break down what the March 31, 2026 decision actually says, what it does not say, and what it means for therapists who work with LGBTQ+ clients. The Court did not call conversion therapy safe, effective, or ethical, and it did not make the practice mandatory. It treated talk therapy as speech rather than regulable conduct, and sent Colorado's ban back to the lower courts for stricter First Amendment review. Curt and Katie walk through the strict scrutiny test at the center of the case, the Kagan and Sotomayor concurrence, and Justice Jackson's dissent, then sit with the harder question: what happens to the profession when the state can no longer set a guardrail on harmful practice before harm has occurred. Released during Pride Month, this is a candid, values-forward conversation about protecting LGBTQ+ clients and practicing affirming, anti-conversion-therapy care out loud. In this episode, we discuss: - What the Chiles v. Salazar ruling does, and does not, change about conversion therapy bans - Why the Court treated talk therapy as protected speech instead of medical treatment - How the strict scrutiny test decided the case - Where the concurrence and the dissent point the profession next - Concrete ways to signal affirming, anti-conversion-therapy care in your practice Full show notes and resources: mtsgpodcast.com Join the Modern Therapist Community Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/c/mtsgpodcast Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/therapyreimagined Modern Therapist's Survival Guide Creative Credits Voice Over by DW McCann: https://www.facebook.com/McCannDW/ Music by Crystal Grooms Mangano: https://groomsymusic.com/

Why do so many of us self-sabotage right when we're on the verge of success? Bands break up right after getting signed. Entrepreneurs burn out the moment they hit their goal. Athletes choke when they realize they're winning. In this episode, Joe and Brett explore the surprising mechanics behind the fear of success — and why it turns out to be nearly identical to the fear of failure. Brett opens with a personal story from a base jumping world championship where he realized mid-competition he was winning — and immediately couldn't hit the target again. From there, they unpack what's actually happening in the head, heart, and nervous system when we get close to what we want, and why expanding your capacity to feel is the real key to sustainable success. Together, they explore: Why bands often break up right after getting signed The identity crisis that gets triggered by winning Why success and failure are both states of nervous system arousal The window of tolerance — and why too much pleasure can feel as threatening as too much pain How the same emotional avoidance shows up on both sides of a decision Why billionaires often burn out and can't get out of their pajamas Letting success obliterate identity (instead of inflating it) "Don't let success go to your head" vs. fully feeling success in your body Clean fuel vs. dirty fuel — letting in the reinforcement loop of why you do the work Why fear of success is really fear of life The difference between humility as smallness and humility as a deep bow Concrete practices: visualizing both complete failure and complete success, emotional inquiry on the avoided feeling, expanding your nervous system's capacity for pleasurable arousal, and deconstructing who you think you'll be on the other side Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Have you ever felt like the project manager of your relationship —the planner, the therapist, the reminder system, the emotionalregulator — and somewhere along the way, you stopped feelinglike a partner and started feeling like a mom?In Episode 315 of Secret Life Podcast, Brianne Davis-Ganttintroduces a term you haven't heard yet but won't be able tounsee once you do: CinderFellas. Men unconsciously seeking awoman to mother them — not love them, not partner with them.And before anyone gets defensive: this isn't about shaming men.This is about a dependency dynamic that both people create,and both people can change.In this episode, Brianne covers:— Why this isn't a masculine problem — it's a dependency problem,and it can happen in any relationship, including same-sex couples— How the "CinderFella" dynamic forms: society teaches boys howto build careers but never teaches them emotional intellect,so they grow into adulthood still searching for someone toprovide emotional containment— The irony at the center of it all: the more she mothers him,the less masculine he becomes — and the more masculine shebecomes. Nature hates a vacuum.— How this becomes The Fantasy Loop™: both people invest inthe potential of the relationship instead of the reality —he's fantasizing about eventually being rescued, she'sfantasizing about eventually being able to fix him— The questions every man needs to ask: Where am I outsourcingmy responsibility? Where am I waiting to be motivated? Wheream I expecting my partner to regulate emotions that belong to me?— The questions every woman needs to ask: Where am I over-functioning? Where am I rescuing? Where have I become hismother instead of his partner?— Why rescuing and supporting are not the same thing — and whyrescuing someone from discomfort actually weakens them— What real love actually is: not built on who needs who, buton two people who can stand on their own and still chooseeach other every day— Concrete first steps for both partners — starting tonightThis episode is going to hit some nerves. That's the point.The thing that triggers us often reveals exactly where weneed to grow.Resources at secretlifepodcast.comShare your secret: secretlifepodcast@icloud.comAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

One of the challenges of modern legal journalism is recalling that case law, doctrine, and Supreme Court decisions aren't a complete picture, without including the lived realities of the people whose lives and communities are often turned upside down by changes in the law.On Tuesday night, the Supreme Court's far-right flank vastly expanded its holding in Louisiana v. Callais to make it harder, if not impossible, to challenge racist voting maps designed to suppress Black votes. The shadow-docket decision misrepresented its own holding in Callais and discarded a case it had already decided. With the conservative supermajority tossing a lower-court panel's finding in Allen v. Milligan and further erasing voting rights for Black Americans across the country, Amicus revisits our 2022 conversation with Evan Milligan, the named plaintiff, at the time the case first came to the high court. Milligan explained what's at stake for the very real people living in gerrymandered districts in Alabama's Black Belt region; a gerrymander blessed this week that was forbidden just three years ago.Later, Dahlia Lithwick talks with Andrew Weissmann, an MS NOW legal analyst, NYU law professor, and veteran federal prosecutor who served as lead prosecutor under special counsel Robert S. Mueller and as chief of the DOJ's Fraud Section. Even with Opinionpalooza heating up at the high court, Weissmann pauses to analyze a busy week in democratic dismantling at the Justice Department and on Capitol Hill. And, Weissmann proposes something truly shocking— real accountability for public officials who lie, as laid out in his new bestselling book, Liar's Kingdom: How to Stop Trump's Deceit and Save America.
