Today I'm talking with Amanda Diekman, author of the book, Low-demand Parenting: Dropping Demands, Restoring Calm, and Finding Connection With Your Uniquely Wired Child Because low-demand parenting can be such an effective approach to supporting differently wired kids, especially kids who fall under the PDA profile of autism, I invited Amanda to join the show for a conversation about what this parenting approach looks like. An autistic adult, parent coach, and author in the neurodiversity space, Amanda has become a leading voice in the movement for low demand parenting practice. She runs a successful coaching practice for parents of neurodivergent children including online courses and a vibrant membership community. During this episode, we talk about what low demand parenting is, why it's different than what might be referred to as “permissive” parenting, why it's so effective for kids with PDA, and how she helps parents loosen up the mindset around non-negotiables.  Amanda Diekman is an autistic adult, parent coach, and author in the neurodiversity space. Amanda has become a leading voice in the movement for low demand parenting practices, with her book Low Demand Parenting to be published July 2023. Amanda runs a successful coaching practice for parents of neurodivergent children including online courses and a vibrant membership community.  Things you'll learn from this episode What led Amanda to implement low-demand parenting in her family What low demand parenting is, and why it's often misconstrued as permissive The relationship between PDA and low-demand parenting Examples of big demands and tiny demands, and how shifting the focus can reduce stress for kids How Amanda helps parents in loosening their mindset about what they define as non-negotiables Ideas for practicing low-demand parenting in regard to our kids' relationship with technology and screens How Amanda and her co-parenting partner came to work together using low-demand parenting Learn more about your ad choices.

You do not have to feel good, be "high vibe," or have your entire life together to make bank in your business. In this episode, I'm getting real about one belief system I see constantly tripping women up: "I have to feel good / be healed / be high vibe to make money." Nope. We're unsubscribing from that today. I riff on: Why you don't have to feel good to make money (and what actually moves the needle) How I'm navigating a fast, messy growth season in my own biz—hi, team changes, travel, and things falling through the cracks The real difference between pussy-based business and pleasure-based business (and why not all "pleasure" actually feels pleasurable in the moment) What it looks like to treat your business like a motherfucking job… without abandoning your nervous system The power of minimum viable effort on hard days (and why sloppy, repurposed, "lazy girl" output still counts) How to know when the medicine is showing up anyway vs. when the medicine is actually taking a damn break If you've been waiting to feel better, be more healed, or "fix your mindset" before you go all in on your business, this episode is your loving intervention. Hit play if you're ready to make money, build something real, and let it feel better—without making your humanity a problem. Come join the Pleasure + Profit Mastermind http://juliacwells.com/ppmm

Today's guest is one of the most recognizable faces of her generation — an actor whose voice you'd know in a single frame. But her real story isn't the one you've watched. It's the one she kept secret: for 20 years she's been a songwriter, and barely anyone — even people who know her — knew it.This is one of the more honest conversations we've had about being underestimated — as an actor who "couldn't" really be a musician, and as a woman the industry assumed didn't write her own songs — and about what it costs to keep making things purely because you love them.And The Writer Is...

Confidence in the employment market is at an all-time low, with the Iran war still rippling through the economy. A Westpac-McDermott Miller survey for the June quarter reveals confidence fell for public and private sector employees. A net 60 percent of respondents believe it's hard to find a job, up from 46 percent last quarter. Westpac senior economist Michael Gordon says employment confidence has been weak over the past five years, and this data represents another step backwards.

Also on the show: the global wait for fertilizer and the challenges of the teen summer job market.

A Wall Street Journal op-ed about the University of California's SAT ban sparked a national conversation about college admissions, academic standards and whether students are arriving on campus ready for rigorous STEM coursework.In this episode, Matt speaks with Svetlana Jitomirskaya, professor of mathematics at UC Berkeley and one of the faculty members behind an open letter calling on the University of California system to reinstate standardized testing. More than 1,500 faculty members have signed on, warning that test-blind admissions have masked severe preparation gaps among incoming students.But this conversation is not really about one test. It's about what happens when high school grades no longer signal readiness, when universities lose an objective baseline for admissions, and when students are placed into STEM programs without the math foundation they need to succeed.Svetlana argues that removing the SAT was supposed to expand access, but in practice may be hurting the very students it was meant to help. Without a clear measure of readiness, students from underprepared K-12 systems can arrive at elite universities only to face remedial math, repeated calculus failures, major changes or the collapse of a STEM dream they were told they were ready to pursue.For educators, employers and policymakers, the stakes are bigger than the SAT. This is a conversation about standards, equity, accountability and the future STEM talent pipeline.Resources in this Episode:Read the op ed in the Wall Street Journal: "The University of California Needs the SAT Back"Read the official open letter to the UC Board of RegentsSee more on the episode page: https://techedpodcast.com/svetlana/We want to hear from you!

In this episode of The Business of Open Source, I talked with Yann Lechelle, Executive President of :Probabl.Perhaps the most interesting part of the conversation was about whether or not there is a risk from generative AI being trained on open source code, then generating new open source code and then re-training itself on that code. Yann says that there is already enough code in the world to give AI enough source material to work with, at least when it comes to ‘traditional' code. So while perhaps there are issues with types of code that really require creativity, in most contexts we don't need any more human-written code. Does this mean the value of code is dropping to zero? That's what Yann things… but for open source companies with permissive licenses, the value of code was already zero. This means that what really matters is community and brand. What do you think? Do you think generative AI makes the value of code close to zero, and puts all software companies in the same boat as open source projects with permissive licenses? If you have an interesting take, let me know. And if you want someone to help you focus your positioning and streamline your product and marketing strategy, reach out.

New here? Start with our Start Here playlist — five episodes that will change how you think about motherhood. Have you ever found yourself praying for rain — just so every activity gets cancelled and your family has an excuse to stay home in pajamas? You're not alone. And according to today's guest, that fantasy might actually be the start of something important. Christine Gunderson is a former TV news anchor, Capitol Hill press secretary, and now a novelist. Her latest book, Behind White Picket Fences, follows three moms who decide to drop out of the exhausting cycle of activities, expectations, and busyness for an entire year — and discover that the picture-perfect life they were chasing might not be what it seems. In this episode, JoAnn and Christine talk about where the relentless pressure on moms actually comes from, how it's shifted over generations, and why the friendships you build in the carpool line might be the thing that gets you through it all. What you'll learn: Why more is expected of mothers than any other group of people — and why no human being can actually do it all The "what if we just stopped?" question that inspired Christine's latest novel How the expectations placed on moms have shifted from a perfect house in the 1960s to a perfect, overscheduled childhood today Why travel sports have created a level of pressure and cost that didn't exist a generation ago — and why opting out can feel like failing your kid The real reason behind the relentless busyness: fear of an unknowable future for our kids What Christine learned from interviewing women in their 80s about what motherhood was actually like in 1965 (and why it wasn't the easier, simpler time we imagine) Why honoring both the choice to stay home and the choice to work matters — because every mom does what makes sense for her family The one thing that gets moms through the hardest seasons: female friendship and community Christine's most important message for every overwhelmed mom listening "I think more is expected of mothers than any other group of people on the planet — because we are expected to civilize, teach, and nurture an entire generation while simultaneously cooking healthy meals, keeping a clean house, and having a full-time job. There is no way any human being can do all the things women are expected to do." "You are a great mom. And we cannot do this alone. You've got to have people walking beside you in the trenches." Behind White Picket Fences Three moms who barely know each other decide to drop out of the exhausting cycle of activities and expectations for one year — and discover their picture-perfect cul-de-sac is hiding secrets dating back to 1965. A thriller about motherhood, friendship, and what we've really gained (and lost) since our mothers' generation. Available now wherever books are sold.

Ego will keep you stuck. Coachability will collapse your timeline. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why being coachable is one of the most important traits any founder can develop. Let's be real… If you walk into every room acting like you already know everything… The people with the answers will stop trying to help you. And if you argue with every piece of feedback… You are not protecting your intelligence. You are protecting your ego. In this episode, you'll learn: Why arrogance is one of the most expensive traits in business How ego blocks mentorship, feedback, and growth Why the best founders remain students even after major success How humility and rapid implementation create faster results The truth is simple: You cannot learn while you are busy trying to prove you are already right. If you hire an expert… Join a mastermind… Work with a mentor… Or ask someone successful for advice… You have to become an empty cup. Listen. Absorb. Apply. And execute. Because the fastest way to grow is to learn from people who have already solved the problems you are facing. The most dangerous founder is not the one who knows everything. It is the one who is humble enough to keep learning… And disciplined enough to apply what they are taught. Drop the pride. Listen to the experts. Execute the playbook. And keep leveling up.

In this final session, we dive into the advanced science of neuro-somatic synthesis and introduce Somatic Stacking—layering postural alignment, the Pran Mudra, and Root Chakra grounding simultaneously to instantly drop cortisol, lock out environmental noise, and restore a state of sharp, effortless daily execution. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Cost of Fragmentation: The biological reason why juggling multiple roles splits your attention and keeps your nervous system chemically unbalanced. The Architecture of Somatic Stacking: How layering physical, energetic, and breath anchors simultaneously creates a powerful synergistic off-switch for stress. The Equilibrium Protocol: A guided 10-minute integrated meditation to completely stabilize your heart rate, stop energy leaks, and anchor your mind in sovereign peace. A Daily Message for Your Heart You are balancing a mountain of moving parts, steering a large vision, and anchoring the spaces you occupy. It is completely natural to feel scattered, like you are a collection of tasks and timelines rather than a whole soul. Today, remember that balance is not something you find by fixing everything in the outside world—balance is an internal posture you claim right here in the immediate present. You do not have to wait for the storm to stop to find your peace. By taking these ten minutes to stack your physical tools, you are gathering your scattered power back into your own hands. Let the affirmation 'My nervous system is steady, my body is safe, and I am entirely at peace' act as your absolute standard of stability today. You are doing an extraordinary job. This is day 7 of a 7-day meditation series, 3514-3520 Somatic Stress Relief.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY   If you are tired of waking up already feeling overwhelmed, running on adrenaline, and dealing with that persistent background anxiety that makes it impossible to focus, you are in the exact right place.   This week, we are stepping into a profound, 7-day somatic experience designed to pull you out of survival mode and return you to a state of calm, unshakeable power.   We aren't just going to talk about peace; we are going to build it directly into your biology. Over the next seven days, we will layer powerful, science-backed tools—including ancient hand mudras like the Pran Mudra, deep rhythmic breathing protocols, target chakra alignments, and restorative physical resets—to train your body that it is safe to let go.   Whether you are navigating a high-velocity career, balancing a mountain of daily demands, or simply trying to quiet an overactive mind before bed, this series is your ultimate biological reset button. Get ready to lower your cortisol, drop your shoulders, and reclaim your inner sovereignty.   THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: THE 30-SECOND COLD SPLASH At the end of your morning shower, turn the handle to cold for just 30 seconds. Alternatively, fill a bowl with ice water and submerge your face up to your temples for 10 seconds.   MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: DAY 1: VISUALIZATION Visualize yourself seated next to people who calm you.   DAY 2: AFFIRMATION "My body is safe, and I am at peace."   DAY 3: THE EXTENDED EXHALE BREATHING TECHNIQUE Inhale through your nose for a count of 4, feeling your belly expand. Hold gently at the top for a count of 4. Exhale slowly through pursed lips (like breathing through a straw) for a count of 8. Repeat for 3 to 5 cycles to instantly lower your heart rate and drop cortisol levels. DAY 4: PRAN MUDRA (THE LIFE FORCE SEAL) This mudra acts like a grounding cord for a scattered, anxious mind while simultaneously replenishing drained energy reserves without overstimulating your system. How to do it: On both hands, bring the tips of your ring finger and pinky finger to touch the tip of your thumb. Keep your index and middle fingers extended straight out. Rest your hands on your lap, palms facing up. DAY 5: MULADHARA ROOT CHAKRA When the nervous system is overwhelmed, energy flies upward into a swirling vortex of overthinking. Dropping your awareness down to the Root Chakra—located at the base of your spine—anchors you. Visualize a rich, warm, steady crimson light grounding you deeply into the solid earth beneath you.   DAY 6: LAYER ALL THE TECHNIQUES TOGETHER   DAY 7: REFLECTION AND CELEBRATION   SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

Today, your true neural shifts are beginning to solidify. When your weekly calendar is packed with demanding roles and heavy outputs, your energy flies upward into a chaotic buzz of mental stress. In this session, we enter a deep practice of somatic replenishment by anchoring our awareness at the base of the spine—the Muladhara Root Chakra. Through a targeted red-light visualization and stabilizing breath protocols, we feed your nervous system the vital security it needs to completely settle and recharge. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Anatomy of Burnout Recovery: Why a hyper-vigilant nervous system requires a biological shift into radical nourishment and safety. The Muladhara Activation: How focusing on the Root Chakra lowers your center of gravity out of your racing thoughts and anchors your body into the solid earth. Somatic Nutrient Flow: A guided 10-minute meditation to down-regulate your stress response, melt away lower body tension, and nurture your peace. A Message for Your Heart When you are holding up a large vision and balancing multiple responsibilities, it is incredibly easy to spend all your energy pouring into the world without saving any for yourself. Today, remember that you do not have to finish everything on your plate to deserve a moment of pure, uninterrupted nourishment. Your worth is not measured by your daily output. In this space right now, you are allowed to pull your energy back home. You are allowed to be held. You are allowed to be entirely nurtured. Let the affirmation 'My nervous system is steady, my body is safe, and I am entirely at peace' sink into your cells today. You are doing an extraordinary job. This is day 5 of a 7-day meditation series, 3514-3520 Somatic Stress Relief.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY   If you are tired of waking up already feeling overwhelmed, running on adrenaline, and dealing with that persistent background anxiety that makes it impossible to focus, you are in the exact right place.   This week, we are stepping into a profound, 7-day somatic experience designed to pull you out of survival mode and return you to a state of calm, unshakeable power.   We aren't just going to talk about peace; we are going to build it directly into your biology.

How does it feel to be actively retraining your nervous system? You're stepping out of survival mode and finding your footing. Hitting the middle of the week is often when external demands peak, making today's practice the perfect opportunity to witness your own growth and resilience. You are doing an incredible job sticking with this commitment to your inner peace—keep going. Today, our developmental arc is Protect. If you often finish your day feeling completely depleted, over-stimulated, or emotionally exhausted from absorbing the stress of your environment, your energetic boundaries are leaking. In this session, we explore the somatic neuroscience of energy conservation and introduce a high-performance physical seal—the Pran Mudra—to instantly ground your nervous system, stop sensory overload, and build a protective boundary around your peace. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Porous Nervous System: The biological reason why high-achievers absorb environmental anxiety and hit sensory burnout fast. The Pran Mudra Protocol: How closing the nerve circuits in your fingers acts as a biological battery charger to protect your daily stamina. Somatic Shielding: A guided 10-minute meditation to help you drop your cortisol baseline, stop over-functioning for others, and reclaim your personal sovereignty. A Message for Your Heart You likely deeply care for everything and everyone in your orbit. You may be constantly holding up a massive vision, managing complex timelines, and anchoring the spaces you occupy. Because your heart is so big, it can be incredibly easy to let the chaotic energy of the outside world bleed into your personal sanctuary. Today, I want to remind you that protecting your peace is not selfish—it is an act of supreme inner sovereignty. You cannot serve from an empty well, and you do not have to be a sponge for the stress of the world to be successful. By holding the Pran Mudra today, you are safely sealing your borders and declaring that your peace is non-negotiable. Step back into your own power. You are doing an extraordinary job. This is day 4 of a 7-day meditation series, 3514-3520 Somatic Stress Relief.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY   If you are tired of waking up already feeling overwhelmed, running on adrenaline, and dealing with that persistent background anxiety that makes it impossible to focus, you are in the exact right place.   This week, we are stepping into a profound, 7-day somatic experience designed to pull you out of survival mode and return you to a state of calm, unshakeable power.   We aren't just going to talk about peace; we are going to build it directly into your biology.

It's time to get out of your head and ground yourself. Welcome to Day 3 of our master series, Somatic Stress Relief. Today, our developmental arc is Ground. When you are managing an intense workload, your attention easily becomes scattered, leaving you feeling mentally untethered and physically exhausted. I n this session, we explore the precise neurobiology of somatic grounding and introduce an immediate physical intervention: the 4-4-8 Extended Exhale repeated exactly three times to instantly halt a frantic adrenaline spike and drop you back into a state of steady, sovereign presence. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Physics of Overwhelm: How shallow, chest-based breathing traps your brain in an anxiety loop and drains your focus. The 3-Cycle Vagus Nerve Reset: The biological shift that occurs during each phase of the 4-4-8 breathing pacing. Reclaiming Your Foundation: A guided 10-minute somatic breathwork session to drop your internal center of gravity, melt physical tension, and anchor your mind. A Message for Your Heart The noise of a busy week can pull you out of your center. When you are managing endless details, navigating complex projects, and carrying a major vision, it can feel like you are being blown about by every passing wind. Today, I want to remind you that you do not have to be at the mercy of the chaos around you. You are the deep-rooted tree, not the leaves swirling in the storm. By pausing for just three conscious breaths today, you are reclaiming your baseline power. You are telling the world: 'I will not be rushed.' Let the quiet, steady weight of your own body remind you of your absolute resilience today. You are doing an extraordinary job.

If you find it incredibly difficult to quiet your mind, drop your shoulders, or stop rushing even when you have downtime, your nervous system may be trapped in a chronic survival loop. In this session, we explore the science of parasympathetic recovery and introduce a powerful somatic affirmation protocol designed to rewrite your internal stress baseline and signal absolute safety to your physical body. In This Episode, You'll Discover: The Anatomy of Restless Rest: Why lying down isn't enough to heal burnout if your nervous system is still cycling adrenaline. The Neurobiology of Affirmations: How pairing specific internal phrases with body awareness directly soothes the brain's alarm system (the amygdala). The Safe Space Awakening: A guided 10-minute somatic immersion to lower your heart rate, dissolve muscle bracing, and anchor you in deep, cellular peace. A Message for Your Heart When you carry so many responsibilities and care for so many pieces of the world, your mind may convince you that staying on high alert is the only way to keep things together. Today, I want to remind you that rest is not a luxury you have to earn after everything else is finished—rest is the very foundation that protects your brilliance. You do not have to fix, force, or control a single thing in this space. You are allowed to take your hands off the wheel. Let the affirmation 'My body is safe and I am at peace' act as a soft, protective shield around your spirit today. You are doing an extraordinary job. This is day 2 of a 7-day meditation series, 3514-3520 Somatic Stress Relief.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY   If you are tired of waking up already feeling overwhelmed, running on adrenaline, and dealing with that persistent background anxiety that makes it impossible to focus, you are in the exact right place. This week, we are stepping into a profound, 7-day somatic experience designed to pull you out of survival mode and return you to a state of calm, unshakeable power. We aren't just going to talk about peace; we are going to build it directly into your biology. Over the next seven days, we will layer powerful, science-backed tools—including ancient hand mudras like the Pran Mudra, deep rhythmic breathing protocols, target chakra alignments, and restorative physical resets—to train your body that it is safe to let go. Whether you are navigating a high-velocity career, balancing a mountain of daily demands, or simply trying to quiet an overactive mind before bed, this series is your ultimate biological reset button. Get ready to lower your cortisol, drop your shoulders, and reclaim your inner sovereignty.   THIS WEEK'S CHALLENGE: THE 30-SECOND COLD SPLASH At the end of your morning shower, turn the handle to cold for just 30 seconds. Alternatively, fill a bowl with ice water and submerge your face up to your temples for 10 seconds.   MEDITATION TECHNIQUES: DAY 1: VISUALIZATION Visualize yourself seated next to people who calm you.   DAY 2: AFFIRMATION "My body is safe, and I am at peace."   DAY 3: THE EXTENDED EXHALE BREATHING TECHNIQUE Inhale through your nose for a count of 4, feeling your belly expand. Hold gently at the top for a count of 4. Exhale slowly through pursed lips (like breathing through a straw) for a count of 8. Repeat for 3 to 5 cycles to instantly lower your heart rate and drop cortisol levels. DAY 4: PRAN MUDRA (THE LIFE FORCE SEAL) This mudra acts like a grounding cord for a scattered, anxious mind while simultaneously replenishing drained energy reserves without overstimulating your system. How to do it: On both hands, bring the tips of your ring finger and pinky finger to touch the tip of your thumb. Keep your index and middle fingers extended straight out. Rest your hands on your lap, palms facing up. DAY 5: MULADHARA ROOT CHAKRA When the nervous system is overwhelmed, energy flies upward into a swirling vortex of overthinking. Dropping your awareness down to the Root Chakra—located at the base of your spine—anchors you. Visualize a rich, warm, steady crimson light grounding you deeply into the solid earth beneath you.   DAY 6: LAYER ALL THE TECHNIQUES TOGETHER   DAY 7: REFLECTION AND CELEBRATION   SHARE YOUR MEDITATION JOURNEY WITH YOUR FELLOW MEDITATORS Let's connect and inspire each other!

If you are arriving with a mind that feels crowded by endless to-do lists, background anxiety, or the heavy pressure of managing daily life, consider this episode your personal sanctuary. Today, we step away from cognitive problem-solving and drop directly into somatic grounding. Through a beautiful, extended-exhale breathing protocol, we trigger the body's natural relaxation response, melting away internal tension and returning your mind to a state of soft, unshakeable clarity.   In This Episode: Somatic Grounding: A simple, physical body-scan technique to instantly pull your awareness out of a racing mind and back into the safety of the present moment. Reclaiming Space: Learning how to hit the internal pause button on a fast-moving day so you can protect your creative energy and prevent burnout. A Message for Your Heart Are you feeling the weight of the responsibilities you carry? You may be carrying many moving parts that you are constantly balancing, decisions that rest on your shoulders, and being 'the strong one' for everyone else around you. It is beautiful how much care you pour into the world, but your heart needs care, too.   Today, I want to give you permission to put down the invisible shield you've been holding up to get through the week. You do not have to earn your right to be still, and you do not have to complete every single task before you are allowed to rest. True sovereignty means knowing when to pause the spinning world so you can fill your own cup first. You are allowed to be soft. You are allowed to take up space. Trust the quiet strength that lives inside your stillness today. You are doing a truly extraordinary job."   This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, 3514-3520 Somatic Stress Relief.   THIS WEEK'S MEDITATION JOURNEY   If you are tired of waking up already feeling overwhelmed, running on adrenaline, and dealing with that persistent background anxiety that makes it impossible to focus, you are in the exact right place.
