In this insightful episode of Big Blend Radio's SUPERVISION MATTERS Podcast, organizational coach and author Rita Sever (Supervision Matters & Leading for Justice) explores one of the most important questions supervisors can ask themselves and their staff: “Is this impacting the work—and how?” This powerful question encourages reflection, clarity, and accountability, helping supervisors navigate performance challenges, communication breakdowns, and personal or technological factors that may influence productivity. Rita discusses when and how to ask these questions, why “no” answers can sometimes be harder to handle than “yes,” and how documenting and communicating effectively strengthens workplace relationships and results.

Today Dr. Carol Stoney, Beth's most frequent (and very likely one of the most popular ) podcast guests returns to the show to talk about marriage. She likes to encourage married couples to ask themselves the question regularly: “ Why did we get  married?” Like when things get hard  or when transitions happen, she urges them to sit down and have a conversation “What's our purpose?” Sometimes couples have change their mission, she said. Dr. Stoney stated “I don't care what couples are fighting about, I care what they are fighting FOR“ “What is the mission and the purpose and the reason you are staying together?” In essence, it is important for couples to know and remember what it is they are trying to achieve and what stands in the way (or threatens) what it is that they are trying to recover to achieve that goal they never knew they had. She urges couples to consider, why is this so important to me? What is it that we're fighting for?

In this episode, Dr. Douglas Groothuis offers a passionate critique of the current state of online apologetics, prompted by the growing flood of YouTube, Instagram, and podcast-based apologetics influencers. While affirming the good work being done by some leaders, he cautions against the rise of shallow, flashy, and poorly studied content that too often passes for serious Christian defense. Drawing from nearly 50 years of ministry, teaching, and academic publishing, Dr. Groothuis outlines 12 core competencies every public apologist must master — from a well-formed biblical worldview to knowledge of logic, philosophy, Scripture, world religions, and more. This episode is both a sobering warning and a visionary charge to anyone who desires to contend for the faith in today’s media-saturated culture.

This episode lit us up in the best way. Amanda sat down with Aaron H. Aceves, author of This Is Why They Hate Us, for a heartfelt conversation about identity and the power of honest storytelling. Aaron's openness about his own journey challenged us to reflect on how we, as educators, can lead with vulnerability and create space for students to do the same. His protagonist, Enrique, is messy, hilarious, and deeply real—and that kind of representation matters more than ever in our classrooms.Aaron reminded us that books like his are more than stories—they're lifelines for students who need to see themselves in the pages they read. This conversation is a love letter to teachers everywhere, doing the work to bring authentic, diverse voices into their classrooms. We hope it leaves you feeling as inspired as it left us.Resources:Join Camp BNT: Summer 2025This is Why They Hate Us, by Aaron H.

Nurse practitioner Surani Hayre-Kwan discusses her article "Are you protecting your career? 5 essential questions about your NP liability insurance." Surani discusses the critical need for nurse practitioners to secure their own professional liability insurance, highlighting how relying solely on employer-provided coverage can leave significant gaps. She provides insights into common pitfalls, such as employer policies often excluding licensing board complaints or having shared liability limits. Surani explains the crucial differences between occurrence and claims-made coverage and the importance of understanding "tail" and "nose" coverage to ensure continuous protection when switching jobs or carriers. She also offers actionable advice on how robust documentation, including adherence to SOAP note standards and careful patient engagement, can serve as a powerful defense against legal challenges. Surani emphasizes that comprehensive malpractice coverage is vital for protecting an NP's license, career, and financial stability. Our presenting sponsor is Microsoft Dragon Copilot.

On today's episode, Michael sits with Sadhvi Bhagawati Saraswati. Sadhviji is a renunciate monk, or sanyasi, living in an ashram on the banks of the sacred Ganges River in Rishikesh, India. Originally from Los Angeles and a graduate of Stanford University, she holds a Ph.D. in psychology and has dedicated her life to sharing the profound wisdom from the ancient Vedic tradition of India. Sadhviji is a bestselling author, a world-renowned speaker, a recipient of President Biden's Award for a Lifetime of Service, and she serves on the United Nations Advisory Council on religion. Her latest book, “Come Home to Yourself: Simple Answers to Life's Essential Questions,” is out now.  Highlights from their conversation include: -How Sadhviji's book, “Come Home to Yourself,” was birthed through satsangs—spiritual Q&A sessions where divine wisdom flows through her to meet people's deepest concerns -The lack of inner joy Sadhviji felt, despite having all the “ingredients” for happiness—education, success, privilege, which led her to reluctantly travel to India -The profound realization that our inner narratives of not being good enough, lovable, or pure are illusions, and that true healing begins when we question those narratives -Thoughts to vehicles—buses that we can choose to ride or not–which allows us to take back control and intentionally choose thoughts that align with peace and love -Sadhviji's childhood trauma and how true forgiveness set her free -Reframing surrender as not giving up, but aligning with the deeper flow of divine wisdom and intelligence, opening to the way to spiritual power -Reflections on the spiritual elegance of simplicity—Truth doesn't need to be complicated to be transformative -Sadhvij's call to action, reminding us that spirituality must lead to service and action, and how, in a chaotic world, our inner practice empowers us to stand up, speak up, and show up for good Next, Michael leads a centering meditation to pause, return to inner stillness, and become a vessel of love for others.

In part two of our conversation with author Samira Ahmed, we deep dive into the genre of Internment—is it dystopian, speculative, or realistic fiction?—and why that label matters in the classroom. What starts as a conversation about shelving quickly becomes an exploration of how genre influences student thinking, how we can break down subject silos in education, and why teaching through inquiry is more critical than ever. Samira shares insights on the emotional toll of teaching today, the urgency of connecting past and present injustices, and her belief that “teaching is a revolutionary act.” This episode is a reminder of the impact educators have and the power of stories to spark resistance, reflection, and change.Resources:Camp BNTInternment, by Samira AhmedThe Grace Year, by Kim LiggettProphet Song, by Paul LynchRelated Episodes:Episode 155, Powerful Female Voices in YA Lit: An Interview with Yamile Saied MendezEpisode 171, New Dystopian Texts & Supplements for Your ELA ClassroomEpisode 230, Building Trong Writers: An Interview with Author Christina Schnider of The Daring English TeacherEpisode 260, Samira Ahmed: A Conversation About Internment Part 1SHOW NOTES: https://www.bravenewteaching.com/home/episode261"Send us a message - please include your contact information so we can chat soon!"Get your FREE Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs gateway lesson: shop.bravenewteaching.com/cloudyCheck out Curriculum Rehab here!Support the show

Consider potential opportunities in the market; downturns can lead to undervalued assets worth investing in. Diversification is key; make sure your investments are not overly concentrated in one area or asset class. Evaluate your investment time horizon; long-term investors might tolerate short-term volatility better than short-term ones. Have a solid investment strategy that aligns with your goals and avoid impulsive decisions based on trends. Your financial habits should reflect your long-term goals; prioritize needs over wants to reduce stress. Mentioned in this episode:Weekly Wealth Website

Every year I host an Annual Planning Workshop for my business coaching clients. This is a time for folks to look back at their wins from the past year, do some visioning for the upcoming year, and get crystal clear on the specific strategies and action steps they want to take to be successful in the new year.   As I was leading this workshop in early December, it occurred to me that you all, my lovely leader listeners, could benefit from the same exercises I take my business coaching clients through. In this episode, I walk you through 10 simple, but essential, questions to ask yourself as you plan your upcoming year.   I don't believe in resolutions. I don't believe you need to flip your life upside down and make 734 changes on January 1st. I do believe you need to own wins from the past year so you can see the proof of what you're capable of moving forward. And, I do believe that you should take some time to reflect on what you want to make happen over the course of the next year sometime in the month of January so you can begin to build the necessary momentum to actually accomplish all you want to accomplish in the next year.  Here are the 10 questions I walk you through in this episode: What are my 2024 wins? What do I want more of in 2025? What do I want less of in 2025? What do I want to be most proud of on December 31, 2025? What are my Big 3 for 2025? Why do these Big 3 matter to me? What support do I need to go after and accomplish my Big 3? What will change for me when I attain my Big 3? What are the costs of not attaining these Big 3 this year? What specific steps will I take in the next 90 days to work toward my Big 3? Like many recent years, 2025 will be a year of change, uncertainty, and quite possibly chaos. The more you can be clear on what you want to accomplish, why you want to accomplish it, and how you're going to accomplish it, the more you can stay grounded when the going (inevitably) gets tough.  Happy 2025! You got this and I'm thrilled to be on this journey with you!

Day 21 of bootcamp: Today, we reflected on the remarkable legacy of John H. Johnson, a trailblazer who turned his vision into a family empire that uplifted Black voices and reshaped culture. His story challenges us to ask ourselves: What does it mean to honor those who came before us while carving our own path forward? Are we preserving the traditions and values passed down to us, progressing toward a new vision, or finding a way to do both?
