Does you child or teen often try to control you, criticize you and/or destroy your things or things around the house. This is very common among PDA children and teens, because they are equalizing. Equalizing is a nervous system response - out of their control - in PDA children and teens whereby they try to regain sense of nervous system safety due to a perceived loss of autonomy and equality.In this episode I break it all down, and share lots of examples. I hope it's helpful. xo,CaseyAre you ready to start working to deeply understand and support your PDA child or teen and lead your family to peace?

In the world of personal growth, we often focus on eliminating what we consider "negative" parts of ourselves. We think if our ego shows up differently each day, something must be wrong. But development isn't linear, and we all host multiple ego states that serve unique purposes depending on our circumstances. This is especially clear through the lens of developmental psychology, particularly models like the Stages model and Spiral Dynamics.Both theories shed light on our evolving selves: Spiral Dynamics frames development within a collective and anthropological context, while the Stages model focuses on individual growth through different perspectives. If you're familiar with both, you probably understand the complexity of ego states we navigate daily. And while it may seem overwhelming to honor all these inner voices, recognizing their purpose allows us to ease internal conflict.Why We Should Embrace Multiple Ego StatesFrom childhood to adulthood, we develop different "voices" that align with our growth stages. These perspectives aren't inherently harmful—what causes discomfort is often our relationship with these internal voices. If you've ever felt like a younger part of you is “getting in the way” of your growth, you're not alone. It's tempting to elevate the more advanced, spiritual ego state and disregard the rest. But each stage, from the childlike first-person view to the more complex fourth-person understanding, plays a vital role in our psychological development.Take, for example, the early stages of our lives, where we operate in the first-person perspective. As toddlers, the world is ours for the taking. We're driven by pure instinct and need, and we don't yet recognize that others have desires separate from our own. As we move into the second-person perspective, friendships emerge, and with them, the desire to understand how others see us. This relational view is essential for developing empathy and social navigation, but it also introduces conformity, often at the cost of authenticity.By the time we reach the third and fourth-person perspectives, we're balancing individual desires with the larger societal framework, understanding that we're part of a collective. The ego state becomes even more complex as we develop ideals for how the world should be. It's at this point that the spiritual ego can begin to take root.The Rise of the Spiritual EgoAt advanced stages, the spiritual ego often emerges as the “enlightened” voice, tempting us to place it above all others. We may feel that because we've accessed deeper awareness, we've somehow transcended our earlier, more “primitive” ego states. But this belief is precisely where spiritual elitism sneaks in. We fall into the trap of believing that the spiritual ego is the “correct” or “higher” self while disregarding the importance of earlier ego states.The truth is, all of these voices—whether the toddler who craves attention, the second-person who seeks connection, or the third-person who strives for societal contribution—are valid and necessary parts of the human experience. The spiritual ego is simply another state in the continuum. It doesn't erase or replace the others.Healing Through Developmental CoachingOne of the biggest revelations in developmental psychology is the importance of integrating all stages of growth. Each perspective offers unique wisdom. The key is to avoid letting any one ego state dominate. This is where developmental coaching becomes so valuable—helping us bring awareness to the various parts of ourselves, understanding their roles, and ultimately, learning to balance them.In my personal coaching and development work, I've found that honoring these different stages requires a combination of empathy, awareness, and strategic action. Whether it's helping clients navigate early childhood trauma or releasing the hold of the spiritual ego, the process always involves balancing these voices rather than suppressing them.If we're to fully evolve, we must equalize the spiritual ego and embrace the complexity of our development. Just as you wouldn't silence a child who's learning to speak, you shouldn't disregard the earlier stages of your growth. Every part of you has something valuable to contribute to your life's journey.As you move forward in your own development, remember: that growth is not about elevating one part of you above the others. It's about weaving them all into a cohesive and dynamic self. When we learn to embrace and respect all parts of ourselves, we can experience true liberation.I'd love to hear your thoughts—have you noticed your spiritual ego showing up in unexpected ways?

Imagine running a marathon only to find that the person who strolled in hours later gets the same prize as you. This is exactly the problem with metaphorical participation trophies in the workplace. What happens when high performers see no difference in recognition between their hard work and others' minimal efforts? Equalizing rewards creates a false reality, diminishes motivation for top performers, fosters a culture of entitlement, and stifles improvement. In today's Leadership Spark, we'll discuss the importance of performance-based recognition, understand why real rewards should reflect real performance, and emphasize that true achievements come from hard work and results. Let's advocate for a workplace where effort and excellence are genuinely rewarded to create an environment that encourages continuous growth and dedication. ________________ Start your day with the world's top leaders by joining thousands of others at Great Leadership on Substack.

Today, we're talking about equal pay.  Despite equal pay laws and increasing DEI initiatives across workplaces, women of every race are still paid less than men, at all education levels – and it only gets worse as women's careers progress. Women in the U.S. who work full time, year-round are paid only 84 cents for every dollar paid to men. And for women of color, that gap is even bigger. That gap means that women have to work for longer – for some minorities, past their actual life expectancies! – to earn the same as white men. And that has a big impact on women's health, careers, families, and communities. We are well overdue when it comes to closing that gap. And we all need to work together if we're going to close it as quickly as possible. So today's panel of guests will be talking all about what women can do for themselves to start to close the gap; how organizations can make meaningful change; the importance of male allyship; and the reality of why men are still paid more than women.   IN THIS EPISODE:   [01.04] Introductions to our Blended panelists.   ·       Jennifer – Director of Development at Move for Hunger ·       Elba – Sustainability consultant and keynote speaker and trainer ·       Nicole – Founder and CEO at Candor Expedite   [03.20] The group discusses why, in 2024, women are still paid significantly less than men.    “Companies don't invest the dollars needed in talent management systems, in training their leaders, in incentivizing their leaders to do the right thing, in recording and watching over the numbers so they know who/how leaders promote, to hold them accountable.” Elba “When you have a smaller company, you have a lot more control. Once you start getting to larger companies, it starts getting diluted – even if there are policies and procedures in place, there's still this concept of relationships, hire and promote your friends.” Nicole ·       Internal cultures ·       Lack of investment  ·       Policies and procedures ·       Investment ·       ‘Boys club' ·       Coaching people to ask for what they're worth ·       Women's anxiety and fear ·       Celebrating women's successes and achievements ·       Personal responsibility ·       Company responsibility ·       Advocating for yourself ·       Transparency ·       Impact on community, hunger ·       Complexity of the problem ·       What can we learn from the world of sports? Eg. equal pay in tennis ·       Risk for women for putting themselves out there ·       Pros and cons of pay ranges ·       Equalizing benefits as well as pay   ·       What does equal actually mean? ·       Changing how roles work to support equality ·       What do women actually want? ·       Impact on skills gap ·       Importance of choice   ·       Women's ambition ·       Microaggressions ·       Inclusivity ·       Transferable skills ·       Pay transparency  ·       The best ways to highlight the experience  ·       Bias ·       Safe spaces ·       One-to-ones and roundtables   “It boils down to transparency. It's not just about what we want or what we should be asking for. Not enough organizations are standing on that precipice and shouting loudly “This is why, this is how and this is what we must!” Jennifer “I don't like to talk about equal pay because it's so complicated. Because it's not about money. The reason people make different amounts of money – it's death by a million cuts!” Elba “I want the opportunity to have the opportunity!” Jennifer “We have so many ways to find out how these companies operate, we just can't be afraid… ask outrageously!” Nicole “Corporations aren't pulling their weight. They have broken systems that perpetuate the systemic bias that is holding people back from achieving their potential.” Elba [01.04.07] The panel reflect on what individuals and organizations can do to start closing the gender pay gap. ·       Employee development programs  ·       Start early! ·       Be proactive ·       Take advantage of industry data ·       Mentorship and sponsorship ·       Community building ·       Resources and training ·       Surveys ·       Education ·       Executive accountability ·       Importance of flexibility   “Never settle… know your worth. Identify your worth and where you want to go, and let's figure out the steps to get you there.” Jennifer   [01.10.40] The group explores how women can positively engage men in this discussion; and the importance of male allyship.     [01.16.32] The panel sums up their thoughts from today's discussion.

The Equalizer 3 movie! Holy cow. How often does it happen on a podcast for a 35 year old show that a new movie in the franchise comes out? Not often at all. For Chris and Chuck, it's a lot of firsts - the first podcast field trip (to a Chicago suburb halfway between our respective suburbs), the first mid-season bonus episode, and the first time we've seen the character Robert McCall, whom we have discussed so very much, on the big screen. It's a roaring rampage of bloody Equalizing justice. On the whole it's consistent with the first two movies, but also a departure in significant ways. Antoine Fuqua and Denzel Washington reteam, along with cinematographer Robert Richardson to bring you this installment of The Equalizer in a beautiful Italian seaside village, and Chris and Chuck are here to discuss it with their specialized expertise of the original Equalizer. @equalizerspod equalizerspodcast at gmail dot com https://www.facebook.com/equalizerspodcast/

Sponsored Episode - YouAi What if an AI truly knew you—your thoughts, values, aptitudes, and dreams? An AI that could enhance your life in profound ways by amplifying your strengths, augmenting your weaknesses, and connecting you with like-minded souls. That is the vision of YouAi. YouAi founder Dmitri Shapiro believes digitizing our inner lives could unlock tremendous benefits. But mapping the human psyche also poses deep questions. As technology mediates our self-understanding, what risks rendering our minds in bits and algorithms? Could we gain a new means of flourishing or lose something intangible? There are no easy answers, but YouAi offers a vision balanced by hard thinking. Shapiro discussed YouAi's app, which builds personalized AI assistants by learning how individuals think through interactive questions. As people share, YouAi develops a multidimensional model of their mind. Users get a tailored feed of prompts to continue engaging and teaching their AI. YouAi's vision provides a glimpse into a future that could unsettle or fulfill our hopes. As technology mediates understanding ourselves and others, will we risk losing what makes us human or find new means of flourishing? YouAI believes that together, we can build a future where our minds contain infinite potential—and their technology helps unlock it. But we must proceed thoughtfully, upholding human dignity above all else. Our minds shape who we are.

Prior to Medable Sans at the helm of Accenture's Global Life Sciences Research, assumed the pivotal role of orchestrating visionary market-shaping strategies and spearheading program execution in therapeutics, digital health, and scientific innovation. With over two decades in the industry, Sans's expertise graced the corridors of more than 30 companies, launching an impressive lineup of 10 groundbreaking products. Her guidance extended even further, advising digital health venture funds and masterfully managing a top 20 pharmaceutical portfolio. In this episode, she delves deep into the pervasive issue of gender bias in clinical trials unveiling the startling truth about how these trials predominantly focus on Males with little Ethnic Diversity, leading to medicines that may not be optimized for everyone. How in the late 1970s women of childbearing age were excluded from medical research, regardless of their intention or ability to have children, how despite women comprising over half the population, a mere 1% of healthcare research and development is invested in addressing their specific conditions and how both the FDA and EMA have undergone a transformative shift in their perception of digital tools.

Welcome to today's illuminating episode of Data Gurus, recorded live at IIEX in Austin, Texas! Sima is happy to have Paul Gaudette, CEO of Dig Insights, joining her to talk about innovation! There are many opportunities for innovation right now. However, founders of companies are concerned about failure because 80% of the 600,000 new products and CPG launched each year fail, and 50% of all new businesses fail by year three. Dig Insights Dig Insights is a consultancy that has been around for twelve years. They built their own innovation software to assist their clients with innovation exercises and navigating their life cycles. They provide their clients with a foundational understanding of the consumer or the market and fill the gaps across the innovation lifecycle with their platform and other research solutions. Speed and agility There is a lot of pressure for innovation to get out into the market and innovations to be the first ones out. But, sometimes, large organizations get stuck in the process. So speed and agility are critical. Clients are taking more advantage of data Clients are taking more advantage of data, including survey, sales, behavioral, and social data, to find ideas and opportunities for coming up with innovations. Democratization of insights One reason companies present at AIX is that democratization of their insights function is happening across their organization. So they want to empower their internal clients with technological solutions to enable them to research independently and speed up the innovation process. Traditional companies versus smaller brands Years ago, large companies had the advantage because they had the resources, budget, and knowledge to launch new products. Now, they have to compete with many smaller and more agile direct-to-consumer brands with a constant finger on the pulse of the consumer. The stage-gate product development process Most large organizations Paul deals with still subscribe to the stage-gate product development process, but they try to speed up the process and shorten the time it takes to get a new product to market. Medium-sized companies Medium-sized companies are now doing a lot of iterative innovation, getting constant feedback, and optimizing everything before going to market. Equalizing the playing field Lately, startups have also been asking if they can leverage the Dig Insights platform to do their research. That has equalized the playing field and made the competition for larger companies even more stringent. Customer-centricity Most companies recognize that they need to talk to a younger consumer base. They have to be quick in their approach and get feedback fast. They need a way to solicit information quickly, easily, and confidently, so they are looking for innovative, fun, and robust solutions that are agile, engaging, and have a great user experience. Consumer product failures Consumer product failures tend to occur when companies start without a strategy. Or when they do not know what they want to achieve or for whom their innovation is. To overcome that, they need to use specific methodologies to get feedback from a broad audience. On the flip side Some clients want to talk to a very niched customer profile, so they tend to miss potential opportunities outside of that profile. Avoiding problems To avoid those problems, understand who your innovation is for, think broadly, and plan. The market is changing rapidly, so it is vital to think ahead and consider whether your idea will still be relevant in six months or even a year from now. Upsiide Dig Insights has built a platform called Upsiide to help its clients assess innovations quickly and intuitively. It started as a simple way to test ideas. They used the technology of swiping and trade-offs and turned it into a test for innovations. Then it evolved into a DIY innovation platform that clients can utilize independent...

You might be wondering: how can a doctor charge several hundred dollars for a ten-minute office visit? Why can the hospital bill $100k for a three-day stay? Who makes up these numbers besides me? Today's episode is going to answer those questions so patients can get closer to what price transparency in healthcare should become.One hilarious irony of medicine is that you won't always know how much you need to pay for a visit and providers themselves don't know how much they'll get paid for the same visit until long after the fact. The dollars on your medical bill are going to be all over the place because of what your insurance covers, doesn't cover, and writes off. However, let's focus on the largest and usually shocking number on the EOB or invoice—the actual dollar amount billed to you or your insurance before any discounts. To be consistent, that top-line figure is called the charge or chargemaster price. The charge is nearly 100% at the discretion of the provider or whoever owns the facility. A general primary care doctor running their clinic might wake up one day and decide that a new patient office visit is $500. Or maybe $50. In either case, that charge is going straight to the insurance company. Charges vary a lot based on arbitrary choices about what providers believe their expertise is worth. However, there are some other factors based on a little common sense that influence healthcare prices.The first major drivers for charges are staff and equipment. Healthcare facilities are more than just doctors and front desk people. Nurses, administrators, and other professionals are necessary inputs for making sure the medical system breathes. Shortages of any given personnel will make the entire system more expensive. The extreme demand for nursing during these last couple years is one such clear example. Equipment quality and depreciation affects charges as well, especially for hospitals and larger medical groups. Getting an X-ray is going to cost you more than guessing if you have a compound fracture or not with a naked-eye glance. Two patients arrive with the same broken left forearm but patient A might have a blood clot or pressure problem that complicates treatment. If patient B has an otherwise unremarkable history, then charges for patient A would likely be higher due to the degree of care needed to deal with the same broken forearm.Let's return to our earlier example of a general doctor charging $500 or $50 for a standard new patient appointment (such a visit might be coded as 99203 for reference). Regardless of the charge, no two insurance companies will reimburse the same amount for the same visit code. Even if you control for the insurance company, the payout still changes based on the individual plan due to how deductibles and coinsurance are spread. Health insurers don't automatically pay the doctor a negotiated fee if the asking charge is less. For example, if the doctor bills $500 for the appointment, the health plan may reimburse $200 and write off $300 (assuming the patient doesn't have a copay or coinsurance). However, if the doctor chooses to bill $50, the insurance will pay $50 even if the negotiated compensation should be higher. Doctors have to overbill as part of this dance with the insurance companies. This incentive, more than any other factor, is why patients see astronomical medical charges. Dr. David Belk, who runs the True Cost of Healthcare website, shows this reality among other medical charge trends directly affecting patients. Dr. Belk's site and the other sources in this post will be on my page at rushinagalla.substack.com. There should be little surprise that providers are charging amounts several times more than what the final payment is. The requirements to get paid vary between health plans. Some insurers pay by the service, by the time, or by the diagnosis. Since these policies vary, providers have to submit all information possible on their claims as well as overbill to claim the max possible reimbursement. And if the insurance company chooses not to pay the doctor, the pumped-up tab is 100% on you.To follow up on this phenomenon, researchers at the Health Affairs policy journal reviewed costs for two portable and common procedures done at most facilities: colonoscopies and MRIs for lower limbs (which are coded 45380 and 73721, respectively). The study's data taken from Mass General Hospital, the University of Michigan Health System, and Vidant Medical Center (Greenville, NC), track the variation in cash fees, private insurance payments, and public insurance payments. The chargemaster prices for each of the procedures were 27% to 24x greater than the lowest respective final reimbursements. These health systems, all of which have a similar bed count, have such gaps between charges due to both patient demographics and overbilling incentives.These eye-popping numbers affect patients' wallets. Even though you may not be on the hook for a full chargemaster price, any increase of that charge will make either your cash payment higher or your long-term health insurance premiums higher. Per conventional wisdom, hospital and office payments across types of plans suggest that privately-insured patients with higher charges are subsidizing the low-margin public and self-pay patients such that everyone is getting the same level of care. The Journal of the American Medical Association debunked this “cost-shifting” with their own review of evidence from the Medicare Payment Advisory Commission. The newest evidence implies that cost shifting does not 100% apply to making up reduced earnings from publicly-insured patients; rather, a rise in private health plan payments go toward dealing with the rising costs of production to take care of that corresponding population. One economic fact about healthcare applying to this situation is that medical offices have mostly fixed expenses. That is, staffing, equipment, and real estate costs have to be paid no matter how strong the business is. Hospitals and large groups notice they get paid more from private health plans and in turn direct that extra money to raise profits while adding higher costs linked to attracting more of those patients. Medicine is an otherwise low-growth business so major providers have to exploit these gaps when possible. Equalizing medical quality for patients isn't part of the equation here. Reality shows that private vs public patients get different levels of care regardless of how payment trends change. Hence, cost shifting doesn't happen unless a multi-millionaire is consistently getting the same quality of care as someone on a low-income plan like Medicaid.Given all this commentary on how medical charges affect you, the last takeaway is that critical events are unfolding right now for helping you deal with the mysteries of billing. The Transparency in Coverage and No Surprises Act are recent laws among many requiring hospitals and insurance companies to disclose certain prices. Changes to come in 2023 make it so various health plans must offer price comparison platforms for 500+ common services and then for all major services in 2024. Although only 6% of US hospitals have been complying with publishing their cash prices as of July 2021, you can still be cognizant of the difference for what providers bill for service XYZ vs what insurance covers for service XYZ, and also be persistent in asking what the charges are.More patients inquiring about pricing are better for our system's accountability. By now it should be no surprise that Americans get sensitive to healthcare prices whether it be for drugs, services, or procedures. There is another certainty. No charges occur if there are no providers. Unfortunately, US doctors can't keep up with the American people's medical needs as things stand now. For the next pod, I'm going to break down the physician supply and demand time bomb that has a countdown much closer than we'd like it to be.

The exploration includes looking at the presiding traits of humans and souls to better understand their differences, sure, and yet also to better understand why equalizing the two gives us a greater chance of success here on Earth. It also includes actions that we might take toward becoming more equalized - supposing that appeals. There's something I need to get clear on from episode two of this podcast first, though. We begin there. =========== Transcript: 003. Equalizing the Human and Soul =========== The Spiral community Podcast music licensed through AudioJungle: “Inspire the World“ by Vim Inod Music.

When we're born, one of the first things we're ever taught is that we are either male or female-- and they come with their own set of gender rules and roles; very outdated ones. My guest today, Dr. Kim S. Clay, is founder of a non-profit organization that is determined to break through stigmas and even the playing field for young women growing up enjoying sports and STEM. In this podcast, we talk about her transition to building and growing Play Like a Girl full time, and the outdated terms we use that could very much be holding girls and young women back, by insinuating that femininity is negative -- I know I called myself a tomboy back then, but only now did I really understand it's potentially bad effects. Be sure to stick around and listen in on her advice for our young women!   Episode Highlights: Dr. Kim's childhood and role of spirituality Her NGO, Play Like a Girl, how it came about and her inspiration The mentoring program and having representation Dr. Kim's transition to working on Play Like a Girl fulltime Why the term tomboy can be detrimental to young girls How Dr. Kim reacted to being told she'd be limited due to race and gender Her advice for young women and girls who want to pursue male-dominated careers   About the Guest: Dr. Kimberly S. Clay is the founder and CEO of Play Like a Girl, her Nashville based non-profit organization dedicated to leveling the playing field for young girls in male-dominated careers like science, technology, engineering, and mathematics. With a reach of 25,000 young women across the world, Play Like a Girl is definitely making their progress felt. As a graduate of Xavier University in Louisiana, the University of Alabama, and also the Tulane University School of Public Health and Social Work, she started her career at the CDC as a public health analyst.

From her work in public health, she has received numerous recognitions such as being one of Xavier University's 40 Under 40, Nashville Business Journal's 50 People on the Move. As she moved forward in her career, she returned to the classroom where she taught and researched about long-term cancer survivorship in women.
