ADHD & Autism: Why Chores Are So Hard (And How to Teach Responsibility Without Shame) Why do chores turn into power struggles in so many ADHD and autistic families? It's not laziness. It's not defiance. And it's definitely not a character flaw.

You'll learn: ✔ Why chasing compliance actually builds resentment ✔ The difference between responsibility and obedience ✔ How executive functioning impacts task initiation ✔ Why chores are an adult priority (not a teen priority) ✔ How to teach life skills without shame ✔ A neurodiversity-affirming approach to building ownership ✔ How to reduce conflict while increasing competence This episode is essential listening for: Parents of ADHD and/or autistic children and teens Therapists and psychologists working with neurodivergent families Educators Parenting coaches If you want to raise responsible, confident kids without damaging connection — this episode is for you!  Sincerely, Holly Blanc Moses, The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist P.S.

Sometimes the most aligned thing you can do in business is pause. The Creative Educator Conference is just weeks away, and I need to give it my full attention. Instead of stretching myself thin, I'm taking a brief hiatus from new podcast episodes over the next couple of months. Listen in as I share how […] The post Taking a Short Podcast Break—Join Me at The Creative Educator Conference appeared first on Laylee Emadi | Coach for Creative Educators.

This episode originally aired on March 10, 2025 — but is just as relevant today! Hope you enjoy :)--Hi everyone! Welcome back to another episode of The Chai on Life Podcast. I'm Alex Segal and today, I am speaking with Rivka Lerner. Originally from Switzerland, she works as a software developer and coach as well as a kallah teacher, but her love is in teaching and discussing profound ideas with Jews from all walks of life. After teaching with her husband Rabbi Simi Lerner in London for a few years, Rivka came back to Israel long term, and is now an educator in Tel Aviv for the anglo community, as well as in Midreshet Rachel V'Chaya. Above all else, a mother to her awesome four boys.I love this episode so much. We are really going deep into Purim. While Jews have never really had it “easy” this is a particularly tough time for the Jewish people everywhere and it feels a bit strange to be focused on joy when there is so much devastation around us. We talk about that. We speak about what happiness really means, how you can redefine it for yourself and how you can truly feel it this Purim.We also speak really practically about what Purim can look like for you. Is it super overwhelming? Do you not really like it as much as you feel like you “should”? Do you feel like you're missing out on that joy? We speak about ways you can access it and how you can transform your preparation and day even in just a few conversations that can be really life-changing.We talk about the megillah, parts of the megillah you may not have noticed before and intentions about the megillah that can change your experience while listening to it.At the end we speak about the comparison between Purim and Yom Kippur, or Yom HaKipppurim and what it really means that Yom Kippur is a day “like” Purim. There is so much depth in this episode, it is so rich with meaning and wisdom and profound takeaways and I am so excited for you to hear it and G-d willing for it to enrich your holiday this year in new ways.If there is someone you want to see on The Chai on Life Podcast, email me at ⁠alex@chaionlifemag.com⁠ or send me a DM @chaionlifemag. Thanks again, see you next week!

Is AI using a bottle of water every time you make a query? Are you a bad person if you use it in your classroom? Should schools ban it entirely—or go all-in? If you've felt confused or conflicted about AI ethics, this conversation is for you. I sit down with Dr. Karen Boyd, an AI ethics consultant who works with schools and nonprofits, to get real answers about the environmental impact of AI—and to talk through the much bigger ethical questions educators are wrestling with. In this episode, we cover: The truth about AI's water and energy use (spoiler: Netflix is way worse) Why "just don't use it" isn't realistic anymore in 2026 The spectrum from AI enthusiasts to conscientious objectors—and why most of us are somewhere in the middle Six strategic stances beyond refusing: wait and see, constrain, compensate, rethink the work, and shape the ecosystem How to identify which specific values feel threatened to you (intellectual property? authenticity? effort and craft?) Practical ways schools can build ethical AI policies through knowledge sharing instead of top-down rules Different ways to use AI beyond shortcuts: as a thought partner, adversary, assistant, or accessibility tool Why understanding how AI works matters even if you choose not to use it Karen offers a nuanced, inclusive approach that validates different perspectives while helping educators move from "this feels icky" to "here's exactly what bothers me and what I can do about it." This isn't about convincing you AI is good or bad. It's about having the informed, thoughtful conversation we all need to be having.

Teachers CAN Be Millionaires!? Yes—really. And no, it doesn't require winning the lottery, working three extra jobs, or giving up your summers.

You'll learn 3 practical, realistic way that can help educators build real wealth and move toward financial freedom—without leaving the classroom (if that’s what’s best for you) or sacrificing what matters most. We're talking simple mindset shifts, smart money moves, and income strategies that actual teachers are using right now to change their financial future. Tune in for encouragement, clarity, and doable steps that prove teachers can create financial freedom… and it starts WAY sooner than you think.

Send a textJessica has been teaching in Florida since 2003, although she did some investing while in HS, the personal finance bug caught her in her 40's. We discuss the power of teachers understanding all of the investing buckets available to them, the messy middle of life, raising 3 kids, and how personal finance education can transform our students and our teachers. Like most people, she wishes she understood the power of the 457(b) as a young teacher, and she doesn't want any other teacher to feel the way she once did.

Educators are exhausted, overextended, and still trying to show up fully for kids. So what does it actually look like to build a sustainable life and career in schools instead of just surviving the year?​ In this episode of Aspire to Lead, Joshua Stamper sits down with Kim Gameroz to celebrate the launch of her new book Becoming the BISON and explore how teachers can "be intentional so others notice" in ways that protect their wellness, elevate their impact, and spark real change on campus.​ Kim shares why she believes educators are like bison. They move bravely into the storm rather than away from it. She unpacks her core shifts: courage over comfort, clarity over compliance, and connection over control, especially in the face of student behavior, burnout, and broken systems.​ She also pulls back the curtain on her Celebrate Good Times community, the Vibe EDU podcast, and the high energy Vibe EDU live event in Anaheim, designed to surround teachers with a herd that refuses to let them do this work alone. About Kim Gameroz Kim Gameroz, M.Ed., is a change agent and founder of Teaching Inside Out, revolutionizing classrooms through a systematic approach to teaching social and emotional skills. With over 15 years of experience coaching, training, and mentoring educators, students, and families globally, Kim has spoken at numerous conferences, consults for school districts, serves on SEL panels, and contributes to various publications and podcasts.

We got a question about a grass-covered mound — or building? — at the corner of Thompson Lane and Vultee Boulevard, near Nashville's airport and the iconic gold box of a building known as International Plaza.Educator and sixth-generation Nashvillian Sonia Fernandez LeBlanc is a big Curious Nashville fan — such a fan that she knew we had slowed down on answering questions in the last few years. But she said to herself that if we ever revived the project, she was asking about this mysterious mound she just began to notice.I know it's probably mundane, but they are working hard to make it just blend in with nature and yet there are stairs, air ducts and drainage pipe in the stone wall.I have driven this route for decades and just noticed that it was something more than a hill in the past seven or eight years. I can't be alone in wondering!WPLN's Blake Farmer met her out there and invited a Metro agency to pinpoint the answer.

Today our guest is Sean Beaverson, Director of Technology at Orono Public Schools. We talk about how schools can use AI in education to reduce teacher workload and reclaim instructional time. Sean shares a practical approach to lowering cognitive load by offloading administrative tasks to AI, allowing educators to repurpose time toward relationships, collaboration, and deeper learning. In this conversation, Sean offers clear reminders for leaders working to reduce workload and restore professional time: AI can reduce teacher workload by offloading low-cognitive-load administrative tasks. Reclaimed time must be intentionally repurposed, or it will quickly disappear. AI works best as a thought partner that enhances professional judgment, not replaces it. Reducing cognitive load allows teachers to focus on relationships and high-impact instruction. The goal of AI in education is not efficiency alone, it is strengthening human connection.

As Ohio continues to spend more than $1 billion each year of public taxpayer money on unaccountable private school voucher schemes, more than 325 Ohio school districts are standing together in the Vouchers Hurt Ohio lawsuit to force the state to stop cutting those checks.

Why are morning routines and bedtime routines so hard for ADHD and autistic kids? If your mornings feel chaotic… If bedtime turns into battles… If you've tried "sleep hygiene," reward charts, reminders, and it still falls apart… This episode is for you. In this conversation, I sit down with occupational therapist Dr. Peyton Gemmell to talk about why routines are especially difficult for neurodivergent kids and teens — and what actually helps. Here's what I need you to hear: It's not laziness. It's not defiance. It's executive functioning, sensory processing, transitions, and overwhelm. We break down: • Why morning chaos happens in ADHD and autistic children • How executive functioning impacts routines • Why traditional sleep hygiene advice often isn't enough • The role of sensory regulation in bedtime struggles • How to identify which part of the routine is actually hard • Simple, practical systems that reduce overwhelm (including a powerful visual basket strategy) • How to reduce shame while building real-life skills We also talk about something parents don't hear enough: The same routine will not work forever. Neurodivergent brains need toolkits — not rigid systems. Whether you're a parent, therapist, educator, or a neurodivergent adult trying to build sustainable routines, this episode offers practical, compassionate strategies rooted in neurodiversity-affirming care. If you're tired of feeling frustrated before 8am… If you want to support your child without increasing shame… If you're ready for systems that actually make sense… Press play. Sincerely, Holly Blanc Moses, The Mom/Neurodivergent Therapist P.S. I've got more goodness for you!

Writing for a grade is one thing. Writing to contribute to a scientific conversation is something entirely different. In this episode of Airway Exchange, Dr. Edwin Aroke, an internationally recognized CRNA pain scientist and Editor-in-Chief of the AANA Journal, joins hosts Erin and Nickie to talk with us about scholarly writing and peer review. His ​scholarship ​has ​resulted ​in ​over ​60 ​peer-reviewed ​publications and ​many ​nationally ​and ​internationally ​presentations ​on ​pharmacogenomics, ​pain ​disparities ​and ​anesthesia ​outcomes. This conversation is a practical guide for nurse anesthesia educators who want to elevate their scholarship, as we'll discuss developing a focused research niche to navigating peer review, grant funding, and common reasons for desk rejection. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode: ✍️ From Classroom Writing to Publication 

A school administrator and massage therapist wants guidance on how to respond to a student who is reluctant to work with clinic clients who report a history of herpes. Is this a significant risk for massage therapists? The reality is that anyone with a history of herpes simplex can shed the virus intermittently, even without visible symptoms. However, the risk to massage therapists who follow proper hygiene and self-care protocols is extremely low. In that sense, herpes falls into the same category as other infections that may be transmitted through direct contact but are effectively managed with consistent hygienic practices. The key issue is not the client's infection status; it is the therapist's adherence to appropriate hygiene protocols. Resources: Ang, J.Y. et al.

The hundreds of Ohio Education Association locals across the state come in all sizes, ranging from 4,000+ members in big Locals like the Columbus Education Association to just eight members in the Bay Individual/Small Group Instruction Teachers Association (BISGITA), which represents 8 of the 9 hourly certified educators working as intervention specialists and reading specialists in Bay Village City Schools. As BISGITA President Jackie Hartsel tells us in this episode, the Local may be small, but their union gives them a meaningful voice in the decisions that affect student learning conditions and resources, so BISGITA members can have a big impact on their students' success.

She earned her bachelor's degree from Ashland University and her master's degree from Cleveland State University.Throughout her career, she has worked in both public and charter school settings in a variety of roles and employment capacities. She has served as a full-time salaried employee and as a part-time hourly employee, gaining experience as a classroom teacher, reading tutor, and a curriculum and special education supervisor. Currently, she works as a part-time hourly intervention specialist in Bay Village.Hartsel genuinely enjoys working with students, and says, like most educators, the most rewarding part of her work is watching students learn, grow, and gain confidence. She was especially drawn to special education because two of her own children had IEPs during their school years. Parenting children with unique learning challenges has had a profound impact on her teaching practice, allowing her to better empathize with both students and their families and to advocate effectively for their needs.In her personal life, Hartsel is the parent of three grown children and the proud grandparent of nine grandchildren. When she is not spending time with her family, she enjoys tending to flowers and plants, both indoors and outdoors. She also likes tackling home improvement projects, from repairing a kitchen sink to painting and refinishing furniture. One of her favorite traditions is creating a custom Volkswagen-themed dresser for each grandchild when they turn five, complete with working tap headlights in their choice of color. Connect with OEA:Email educationmatters@ohea.org with your feedback or ideas for future Public Education Matters topicsLike OEA on FacebookFollow OEA on TwitterFollow OEA on InstagramGet the latest news and statements from OEA hereLearn more about where OEA stands on the issues Keep up to date on the legislation affecting Ohio public schools and educators with OEA's Legislative WatchAbout us:The Ohio Education Association represents nearly 120,000 teachers, faculty members and support professionals who work in Ohio's schools, colleges, and universities to help improve public education and the lives of Ohio's children.

What if the problem isn't motivation… but misunderstanding? In this episode, we dive deep into executive functioning and the powerful role of "why" in understanding ADHD and neurodivergent children and teens. Joining me is Dani Donovan — ADHD advocate, comic artist, and author of The Anti-Planner — for an honest and validating conversation about procrastination, overwhelm, shame, and the myth of laziness. If you've ever thought: "Why won't they just do it?" "They know what to do — so why aren't they doing it?" "Am I doing something wrong as a parent?" "Why does trying harder not work?" This episode is for you. We explore: Why executive functioning struggles are not laziness The critical difference between knowing and doing Why shame never improves behavior How misunderstanding leads to blame The emotional experience of ADHD Why "trying harder" is not a strategy How asking "why?" changes everything Practical ways to shift from frustration to curiosity Why understanding must come before intervention For parents, this conversation offers relief and clarity. For therapists and clinicians, it reinforces the importance of neurodiversity-affirming, emotionally attuned support that reduces shame and builds capacity. When we understand the why behind executive functioning challenges, we stop seeing a "problem child" — and start seeing a nervous system that needs support. Because if they could, they would.

THE HOMEOPATHY HEALTH SHOW Raising Standards, Protecting Patients – The IHA's Role in Modern Homeopathic Education With Dr Shamini Singh Sachdev In this important and profession-shaping episode of The Homeopathy Health Show, Atiq and Naila are joined by Dr Shamini Singh Sachdev, Chair of the Independent Homeopathy Association, to explore the vital role of educational standards, accreditation, and collaboration within UK homeopathy. At a time when credibility, transparency, and patient safety are essential, this conversation highlights how strong foundations in philosophy, principles, and clinical training safeguard both practitioners and the public - while strengthening homeopathy's position within modern healthcare. This episode reinforces a powerful message: professional standards are not restrictive - they are protective. In This Episode We Explore: From Educational Standards to Professional Integrity Dr Shamini explains how the IHA accredits colleges to ensure students receive comprehensive training grounded in philosophy, core principles, and supervised clinical practice. The aim is to raise standards and promote public confidence in qualified practitioners. Why Accreditation Matters Atiq and Naila emphasise the importance of sound homeopathic knowledge. When practitioners are deeply trained, patients receive safer, more effective, and ethically grounded care. Standards and Patient Safety High standards directly support patient wellbeing. The discussion explores regulatory oversight, structured education, and the necessity of continuing professional development across the profession. Professional Unity and Collaboration Dr Shamini highlights the importance of unified professional standards and collaboration between colleges - including engagement with non-member institutions - to strengthen the profession collectively and increase transparency. Homeopathy as Holistic Practice Beyond regulation, the episode explores homeopathy's holistic nature and the personal growth it offers practitioners. True education shapes not just skill, but insight and responsibility. About Our Guest Dr Shamini Singh Sachdev M.Tech (Hom) S.A.

When a client presents with shin splints, there might be a whole lot of things going on for them. Getting into the nitty gritty of shin splints - or more accurately Medial Tibial Stress Syndrome - involves being able to parse through a lot of information and checking the facts. Kinda like doom scrolling but for leg anatomy. Join Allison as she defines shin splints, uncovers what is happening under the skin, and explains methods that work.  Host Bio:         Contact Allison Denney: rebelmt@abmp.com      Allison's website: www.rebelmassage.com           Allison Denney is a certified massage therapist and certified YouTuber.

And I am not your typical massage therapist. After 20 years of experience and thousands of clients, I have learned that massage therapy is SO MUCH more than a relaxing experience at a spa. I see soft tissue as more than merely a physical element but a deeply complex, neurologically driven part of who you are. I use this knowledge to work WITH you—not ON you—to create change that works. This is the basis of my approach. As a massage therapist, I have worked in almost every capacity, including massage clinics, physical therapy clinics, chiropractor offices, spas, private practice, and teaching. I have learned incredible techniques and strategies from each of my experiences. In my 20 years as a massage therapist, I have never stopped growing. I currently have a private practice based out of Long Beach, California, where I also teach continuing education classes and occasionally work on my kids.

This episode is sponsored by Teq. One of the biggest challenges in schools right now is capacity. Educators are asked to do more, often with new tools, and very little support. Teq helps by combining classroom technology like SMART Boards and STEM resources with professional learning that respects educators' time and reality. It's support that makes technology usable, not overwhelming.Learn more at Teq.com.Do you ever feel like you've lost your “why” as an educator?

Is it time to trade your scrubs for a corporate career? In this episode, we sit down with Sydney Gramuglia, a Registered Nurse who successfully transitioned from bedside burnout to a high-impact, 6-figure role as an Oncology Clinical Educator at Eversana partnering with Sun Pharma. Sydney didn't have prior sales experience, and the job she landed wasn't even listed in her state—but she beat out veteran candidates anyway. Today, we're pulling back the curtain on the "Medical Sales U" blueprint she used to master a grueling 5-round interview process and land her dream job in the pharmaceutical industry.INSIDE THIS EPISODE:*The "Experience" Myth: Why "not enough experience" is usually a cover for "not enough preparation."*The LinkedIn Transformation: How Sydney went from 20 connections to 500+ and got headhunted by hiring managers.*The Mock Presentation: The exact 40-step rehearsal strategy Sydney used to master complex MOA (Mechanism of Action) and PD-L1 pathways.*Clinical Educator vs. Sales: Understanding the different paths for nurses in pharma.*The Contract Partnership: How the Eversana and Sun Pharma collaboration works.CHAPTERS:0:00 – Meet Sydney: From Bedside Nurse to Pharma Pro2:15 – The "Depressing" Reality of Nursing during COVID5:00 – Finding a Passion for Oncology7:30 – Why Your LinkedIn Profile Is Your New Resume9:15 – Breaking Down the Sun Pharma Offer13:45 – Clinical Educator vs. Sales: Which is right for you?16:10 – The Brutal Rejection that changed everything23:50 – Preparing for the 5-Round Interview Gauntlet25:30 – How to Ace a Mock Clinical Presentation31:00 – The Power of the Medical Sales U Community36:45 – Lifestyle Design: The perks of a corporate clinical role39:30 – Exploring Charleston: Best food & dog-friendly spotsCONNECT WITH Sydney Gramuglia - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sydney-gramuglia/READY TO BREAK INTO MEDICAL SALES?

When I was in first grade, I had a plan for Valentine's Day. A very thoughtful, very Holly plan. Every classmate was getting a Valentine. But not every classmate was getting the same coin taped inside. There were the quarter kids. The dime kids. The nickel kids. The penny kids. And one classmate got nothing. My teacher was not happy. My parents were not happy. And not one single adult that day asked me why I did it. That part — the part where no one asked — is what this episode is really about. In this episode, I talk about: ▸  The full story of the Valentine's Day coin system (and why, at seven years old, it made complete sense to me) ▸  What actually happens in a child's nervous system and sense of self when adults skip curiosity and go straight to correction ▸  Why neurodivergent kids stop explaining themselves — and what we accidentally teach them when we don't listen ▸  The one thing I wish an adult had said to me that day — and how you can say it to the kids in your life ▸  A direct challenge: How do YOU want to show up in the next hard moment? This episode is for parents, therapists, and educators who want to be the person an autistic and adhd child actually feels safe with. The one who asks before they assume. The one who listens before they correct. It's also for anyone who grew up being the kid that no one asked. You'll know who you are.
