Transitions are a natural part of life, but that does not make them easy. Whether a learner is moving from ABA services into school, transitioning to a new provider, entering adulthood, or adjusting to a different level of support, these changes can bring uncertainty, fear, and big emotions for everyone involved. In this conversation, we explore why transitions can feel overwhelming and how thoughtful planning can make them more successful for both learners and families.We discuss the importance of starting transition planning early, working backward from long-term goals, and focusing on the skills that will matter most in the next environment. We also share practical ways to support learners through gradual exposure, collaboration across teams, and meaningful opportunities to build independence. Just as importantly, we talk about supporting families with clear communication, compassion, and realistic expectations throughout the process.When transition planning is proactive, collaborative, and individualized, it helps learners move forward with greater confidence while giving families the support they need during times of change.What's Inside: Why transitions can be challenging for learners, families, and professionalsPractical strategies for smoother transitions across settings and stages of lifeHow early planning and collaboration lead to better long-term outcomesMentioned in This Episode:Episode 109: Autism Back to School AdviceHowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

Fluent Fiction - Japanese: Spring Breezes and Heartfelt Revelations at Onomichi Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/ja/episode/2026-06-03-22-34-01-ja Story Transcript:Ja: 春の穏やかな風が瀬戸内海を渡り、尾道海軍基地には鯉のぼりがゆらりと泳いでいました。En: The gentle spring breeze swept across the Seto Inland Sea, and Onomichi naval base was adorned with koinobori, gracefully fluttering in the air.Ja: 今日はこどもの日で、基地内では祝祭ムードが漂っています。En: It was Children's Day, and a festive mood pervaded the base.Ja: 海軍士官の遥（はるき）は、心の奥でそっと燃えている感情を隠しつつ、昔の高校の友達である愛子（あいこ）を案内していました。En: Haruki (Haruki), a naval officer, was discreetly hiding the emotions quietly burning inside him as he guided his old high school friend, Aiko (Aiko).Ja: 愛子は活気に満ちたジャーナリスト。En: Aiko was a vibrant journalist in charge of a feature article on the base.Ja: 彼女はこの基地の特集記事を担当しています。しかし、彼女の心には少しだけ不安がありました。それは、まだはっきりとしていない体調の不調でした。En: However, she harbored a slight anxiety due to some unclear health issues.Ja: 愛子の妹、莉奈（りな）も一緒に来ていて、ブログのために基地の様子を記録していました。En: Aiko's younger sister, Rina (Rina), had also accompanied her, documenting the base's atmosphere for her blog.Ja: 愛子を心配するりなは、姉に無理をしないようにと願っていました。En: Concerned for her sister, Rina hoped Aiko wouldn't push herself too hard.Ja: 基地を巡り、展示された船を見学している途中、愛子は急に具合が悪くなりました。En: As they toured the base, examining the displayed ships, Aiko suddenly felt unwell.Ja: 彼女の顔色は青白くなり、遥がすぐにそれに気づきました。En: Her complexion turned pale, and Haruki immediately noticed.Ja: 「愛子、大丈夫？」と声をかけます。En: "Aiko, are you okay?" he asked.Ja: 愛子は笑顔を作ろうとしましたが体は言うことをききません。En: Aiko tried to force a smile, but her body wouldn't comply.Ja: 「大丈夫、大丈夫」と言いながら、彼女の足元がふらつきます。En: "I'm fine, I'm fine," she said, her steps faltering.Ja: ここで遥は勇気を持ち、愛子をしっかり支える決心をしました。En: At this point, Haruki resolved to courageously support Aiko.Ja: 「これ以上無理させない、医務室に連れて行こう。」En: "I won't let you push yourself any further; let's get you to the infirmary."Ja: りなも合流し、3人は急いで医務室へ向かいます。En: Rina joined them, and the three hurried to the infirmary.Ja: 途中、愛子は意識を失い、その場に倒れ込んでしまいました。En: Along the way, Aiko lost consciousness and collapsed.Ja: 驚愕する遥とりな。En: Haruki and Rina were in shock.Ja: しかし、医務室にはすぐに到着。医師は素早く愛子を診察します。En: Fortunately, they quickly arrived at the infirmary, and a doctor promptly examined Aiko.Ja: 「軽い貧血とストレスですね。無理をしたらいけませんよ。」と医師は告げます。En: "It's mild anemia and stress. You shouldn't overexert yourself," the doctor advised.Ja: 愛子はベッドで横になりながら、自分の健康を改めて考え直しました。En: While lying on the bed, Aiko reconsidered her health.Ja: 「仕事も大切だけど、自分を大切にしないとね。」と微笑みます。En: "Work is important, but I need to take care of myself too," she smiled.Ja: りなもこの機会に姉から学ぶことがありました。En: Rina also learned from this opportunity.Ja: 「わたしも記事を手伝いたい。愛子の取材メモをまとめてブログに載せるね。」りなは自信を持って言いました。En: "I want to help with the article. I'll compile Aiko's interview notes and post them on the blog," Rina said with newfound confidence.Ja: その日、遥は医務室の外で待ちながら、愛子への思いを考え直しました。En: That day, while waiting outside the infirmary, Haruki reconsidered his feelings for Aiko.Ja: そして、ようやく意を決して部屋に入りました。En: Finally, he gathered courage and entered the room.Ja: 「愛子、元気になってよかった。」En: "Aiko, I'm so glad you're better."Ja: 愛子は弱々しくも嬉しそうに微笑み、「ありがとう、遥がいてくれて本当に助かった。」と感謝を述べます。En: Aiko, though weak, smiled happily and expressed her gratitude, "Thank you, Haruki. I'm really grateful you were there."Ja: そして彼女は続けます。「遥、ずっと言おうとしていたけれど…」En: She continued, "Haruki, I've been meaning to tell you..."Ja: その後、3人はのんびりと景色を眺めながら、ゆっくりした時間を過ごしました。En: Afterwards, the three of them spent a relaxing time together, leisurely enjoying the scenery.Ja: 愛子は健康を大切にすることを学び、遥はやっと彼女に気持ちを伝えることができました。そして、りなも自信を持って物語を綴る力を得ました。En: Aiko learned the importance of taking care of her health, Haruki was finally able to express his feelings to her, and Rina gained the confidence to weave stories.Ja: 春の陽が暮れる中、3人の心には新しい希望が芽生えていました。En: As the spring sun set, new hopes blossomed in their hearts.Ja: 尾道の青い海が、彼らの未来をそっと見守るように輝いていました。En: The blue sea of Onomichi shimmered as if quietly watching over their future.

Hoyt Richards spent over two decades in Eternal Values, after first meeting the man who called himself Frederick von Mierers on a beach at the age of 16. Bring Me the Beauties: A Model Cult, out now on HBO Max with episodes releasing weekly, explores Hoyts' journey alongside other actors and models of the era, and Hoyt has spent the years since his exit dedicated to educating people about the red flags to watch out for so that they don't ever have to go through the experience that he did.When Hoyt finally left Eternal Values, at the age of 37 and years after Freddie himself had died, it wasn't because he had realised it was a cult; he had hit rock bottom, felt like he wasn't up to the group's work and was letting everyone down. Until he reconnected with fellow former member, actor and filmmaker Dar Dixon, and they started examining their experiences more deeply together, he really didn't know exactly what had happened to him – even though cult accusations had been brought against the group for years.LinksBring Me the Beauties: A Model Cult — HBO MaxEast Side Alien — by Marie Brenner, Vanity Fair, March 1990Hoyt Richards IMDB profileCredits:Produced by Sarah SteelMusic by Joe GouldYou can support Let's Talk About Sects here.

Parent collaboration in ABA is more than regular updates or quick check-ins. It is about building real partnerships grounded in trust, empathy, and shared goals. We explore how shifting away from a “parent training” mindset can create stronger relationships and better outcomes for learners. From navigating difficult conversations to understanding family values and priorities, small changes in communication can make a major difference in how supported families feel.We also discuss practical strategies for creating meaningful collaboration, including scheduling noncontingent check-ins, listening before problem-solving, avoiding clinical jargon, and validating emotions during sensitive conversations. We share examples of how understanding the “why” behind a family's goals can help align treatment priorities while still staying ethical and learner-centered.When parents feel heard and respected, collaboration becomes easier, consistency improves across environments, and families feel more confident carrying strategies into daily life. Strong parent partnerships are not about having all the answers. They are about working together toward shared goals in a compassionate and sustainable way.What's Inside: How to move from parent training to true collaborationPractical communication strategies that build trust with familiesWays to navigate difficult conversations with empathy and clarityMentioned in This Episode:Episode 137: Parent Coaching/TrainingMastering Difficult Conversations: Building Confidence, Compassion, and Clarity in Communication CEUHowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

When we talk about cults, we tend to picture the ones that make headlines: isolated compounds, charismatic leaders, dramatic exits. But what about the church down the street? The one with the worship band and the small groups and the Instagram presence? In this episode, Sam Sellers and Elise Heerde, co-founders of the Religious Trauma Collective, talk about what happens when coercive control operates inside institutions that look, from the outside, like ordinary community. We also touch on evangelical support for Trump in the USA, and how Australia is not immune from those who would like to see a theocracy here.LinksReligious Trauma Collective — official websiteRTC Annual Online Event — running 19-21 June 2026Sam Sellers — Anchored Counselling ServicesElise Heerde — official websiteCredits:Produced by Sarah SteelMusic by Joe GouldYou can support Let's Talk About Sects here.

Roselyn Lizetter Higgins-Sparrow, hailing from Columbus, Ohio, and shaped by her formative years in Lynchburg, Virginia, offers a unique perspective on family dynamics and upbringing.

A spiritual school in Victoria teaches that we each have a spiritual guide who we can rely on to help us through life, and that the couple who run the school – Ian and Pearl Rogers – sit on a council alongside entities who have lived many lifetimes before this one. Students are lucky enough to gain access to incredible knowledge through this council, which boasts Leonardo Da Vinci, Mahatma Gandhi, and Lady Di amongst its members. But forum posts dating back to 2012 allege that Sphinx Spiritual has been operating as a cult for many years. It's only now that former members have started speaking out.Part 2 is already available to Patreon supporters, and will be released on the main feed on Wednesday 27 May.Full research sources listed here.

The Aggressive Christianity Missions Training Corps, or ACMTC, is a hardline fringe religious cult that was led by a former hippie who went by the name Deborah Green. In The Oracle's Daughter, author Harrison Hill tells the story of the group through the experiences of three women: Deborah, the self-proclaimed oracle; Maura, who nursed Deborah's ailing brother and became one of her first followers; and Sarah, the oracle's daughter of the title.The group's practices included harsh punishments of children and extreme forms of exorcism, and its crimes included kidnapping and abuse. Through his book, Harrison examines the dwindling gap between the fringe and the mainstream in the United States, and shows how we may be much more vulnerable to extremism than we think.LinksThe Oracle's Daughter — by Harrison Hill, Scribner, April 2026The Oracle's Daughter: Sarah Green escaped her mother's cult 22 years ago.

In this episode of Moms Take Ten, Lyssa is joined by fellow Connected Families certified parent coach Merrie Beth Eubanks for an honest and hope-filled conversation about parenting children with special needs. Drawing from her own family's journey, Merrie Beth shares how traditional parenting approaches often fall short—and how shifting expectations, embracing accommodations, and slowing down can open the door to deeper connection and growth. Together, they explore the Connected Families Framework, offering practical encouragement for reframing meltdowns, breaking down skills into manageable steps, and approaching both coaching and correction with grace. You'll be reminded that while this path can be stretching and humbling, it is also rich with purpose—shaping not only our children, but our hearts, our families, and our dependence on God. Whether you're navigating a diagnosis, supporting a neurodiverse child, or simply longing for fresh perspective in your parenting, this conversation will help you breathe, reset, and remember: you're not alone, and God is at work in every step. Merrie Beth Eubanks is a wife and mother of four children ages 21 to 8, and lives just outside of Chattanooga, TN. Her journey as both a parent and educator has deeply shaped her passion for supporting families and helping children thrive.

She holds a master's degree in education and serves as the Director of Curriculum, Individualized Learning, and Family Support for a new school opening this year. This school is designed to provide individualized instruction for students who need extra support, meeting them where they are academically, socially, and emotionally.

Send us Fan MailWhat happens when the business you love physically can't come with you? In this episode, Andi sits down with Cindy Bader of Patterns on the Prairie to talk about building - and rebuilding - a quilting business around the realities of your life.Cindy started quilting as a first-generation quilter on a $60 Walmart Singer that she had to spin the flywheel to start. Nearly two decades ago, worsening carpal tunnel pushed her out of a desk job and into a computerized longarm business she ran from home while raising three kids. Then COVID opened the door to snowbirding - and she hit a new wall: you can't exactly pack up a twelve-foot longarm frame and take it to Texas.So she pivoted again. Inspired by a 2:00 a.m. idea, Cindy started designing what she calls mosaic applique - fusible applique patterns with small gaps between the pieces, pre-reversed templates, color-sorted layouts, and a numbered reference page so customers can build each design from the center out like a puzzle. She recently added SVG files for cutting machines and uses a hotfix adhesive that stays permanent through washing, so there's no stitching around every little piece.If you've ever felt boxed in by the physical or seasonal limits of your current quilting business, this conversation is a reminder that the constraint often points directly at your next move.Don't miss an episode!

Show Notes Nothing can prepare anyone for the loss of a loved one. As we continue to learn through the many stories we've heard here on the Mourning Glory Podcast, each loss is unique to each individual. But when a parent loses a child, it carries its own unique sense of loss for the parents and other family members. Where can people turn to find comfort, hope, and healing when grieving the loss of a child? Jennifer explores this and more with guest Elizabeth Leon, the Director of Family Support for Red Bird Ministries.Our GuestElizabeth Leon is the Director of Family Support for Red Bird Ministries, a Catholic grief support ministry for families of child loss. Red Bird Ministries accompanies individuals and couples through the complexity and trauma that happens with the loss of a child through miscarriage and stillbirth or as an infant, child, adolescent, or adult. They also serve families who have experienced the loss of a loved one to suicide and offer sibling support for children ages 2018.  Elizabeth is the founder of the Journey of the Beloved, a ministry that inspires and equips others to find healing and freedom in Christ, a mission that was birthed after the death of her son in 2018. Connect with Our Guest Contact Elizabethletyourselfbeloved.orgScriptureMark 25:21-34 (The hemorrhaging woman)Psalm 34:19 (“The Lord is close to the brokenhearted)Psalm 13:2 (“How long, Lord…”)Psalm 88 (Also referred to sometimes as The Darkest Psalm)Psalm 6:7 - (“all night long I drench my bed with tears”) Psalm 13DevotionsOur Lady of SorrowsLinksRed Bird MinistriesS1 E13 Moving Forward with Mark Myers S6 E14 Permission to Grieve with Andrea and JenniferElizabeth's book, Let Yourself Be LovedRed Bird Flies (song mentioned by Elizabeth)Prayer for Red Bird Ministries and the families they serve and Elise.Journaling QuestionsIn your own journey with loss, how long do you feel like you were deep “in the trenches of grief”, as Elizabeth shared? Have you found any resources or sources of comfort?Where is a safe space you feel like you can grieve? If you have yet to find it, Have you ever struggled with your relationship with God in terms of “why” or did you, like Elizabeth, struggle with the “how”?Do you feel comfortable sharing everything with God? Why or why not?How do you express your emotions with others in times of need? Have you shared them with God?Have you ever worried that those around you couldn't handle all of the emotions that you want to share? Take some time to explore why or why not.Elizabeth and Jennifer spent a lot of time talking about the Psalms. Did any of them resonate with you?

Professionally, he owns and manages an advertising agency. Steve has served in various leadership capacities, including bishop, high counselor, Young Men president, elders quorum president, and high priest group leader. These experiences, along with his time as a home minister, have given him a unique perspective on how valiant ministering can bless the flock of the Good Shepherd. He currently hosts the Home Ministering Podcast on YouTube. Steve lives in Cedar Hills, Utah, with his wife, Jana. They are the parents of five children and five grandchildren. Links HomeMinistering.com Home Ministering: The Process of Perfecting the Saints Watch the video and share your thoughts in the Zion Lab community Transcript available with the video in the Zion Lab community Highlights Steve discusses the evolution of ministering within the Church, emphasizing the shift from home teaching to a more holistic approach to ministering.

Personal Connection: Effective ministering involves building genuine relationships, where ministering brothers and sisters are seen as trusted friends who can provide support and encouragement. The Power of Prayer: Asking families what they need prayer for can open doors for deeper connections and help ministering brothers and sisters understand how to serve effectively. Flexibility in Approach: There is no one-size-fits-all method for ministering; leaders should encourage creativity and adaptability based on the unique needs of families. Importance of Presence: Simply showing up and expressing love can have a profound impact, even if there are no specific tasks to perform. This presence fosters trust and openness. Leadership Applications Encourage Open Communication: Leaders can promote a culture where members feel comfortable sharing their needs, making it easier for ministering brothers and sisters to provide support. Focus on Relationships: Leaders should emphasize the importance of building relationships over merely fulfilling assignments, encouraging members to engage with those they serve on a personal level. Model Humility and Service: By demonstrating a willingness to receive help and support, leaders can set an example for their congregations, showing that vulnerability and openness are strengths in the ministering process.

My Guest: Jamie Siminoff is the founder of Ring, which he sold to Amazon for over a billion dollars. He's an inventor and builder who couldn't hear his doorbell while working in his garage, so he built a video doorbell. When his wife said it made her feel safer, he realized technology had changed, and home security needed a complete reinvention. Ring became the world's largest home security company with a mission to make neighborhoods safer. Key Learnings  Jeff Bezos reads and writes his own stuff. When Jamie asked Jeff to write something for the book's back cover, Jeff actually read it and wanted his own curated quote that was from him. Jeff loves entrepreneurs, so they kept him out of negotiations. After the Whole Foods deal, Amazon learned to keep Jeff out of negotiations because he finds it tough to negotiate hard with someone he respects. Hardware companies can die while growing fast. Ring grew from $3M to $30M to $174M to $480M, which sounds amazing. But to go from $170M to $480M, you're buying hundreds of millions of dollars of product when you're selling less than that. If sales growth slows, you're basically going out of business. Going from $480M to over a billion in revenue was like being on a motorcycle at 200 miles an hour. If a leaf falls down and hits you, you're dead. At Amazon, when Ring said, "We need another billion dollars to order stuff for next year," Amazon said, "Okay, what else do you want?" There are different types of entrepreneurs. Jamie is an inventor/entrepreneur. There are business entrepreneurs who are maniacal business people we've never heard of that have just crushed it. Jamie is maniacal on product and brings invention into how they run the company. Hire marathon runners. Marathons are the dumbest thing any human could ever do. Even if you win, no one cares. Jamie finished the Boston Marathon in 22,000th place and he's so proud of himself. You want people that don't care about external validation; they just care about getting the mission done. AI has democratized all information. With AI making it so you don't even need to know C++ programming anymore, fill your business with passionate people who care about the mission and they'll crush anything. When building your team, start with the mission. Jamie tells people, "Our mission is to make neighborhoods safer. Do you want to work on making neighborhoods safer? Because if you don't, you're going to be miserable here. You're going to hear it every day, and you're going to roll your eyes."  Referrals work because people don't want to let you down. The best hires are when someone's referred by someone (uncle, friend, whatever) because they feel guilty. They don't want to let the person who referred them down. Find an infinite truth to work on. Amazon's core principles are infinite: Will customers always want lower price, more selection, and faster delivery? Yes. If you deliver in 30 minutes, they'll want it in 10 minutes. Making neighborhoods safer is an infinite thing to work on. Your wife saying one thing can change everything. Jamie built a video doorbell so he could hear the door from his garage. His wife said, "It makes me feel safer at home." That's when he realized technology had changed and home security needed a whole new approach. The hard part is bringing the infinite down to the tactical. When you have an infinite mission, you can get overwhelmed trying to solve it all at once. You have to figure out what to do every single day to work toward that infinite goal. Shark Tank was a disaster that turned into everything. Jamie went on Shark Tank desperately needing money. He got zero offers and cried in his car after. But when it aired, the boost in sales gave them cash to hire people and build Ring, which started the clock on their success. Sometimes you can't stop because you're in too deep. After Shark Tank bombed, Jamie couldn't back out. He'd already ordered too many products and owed too much money. He'd be personally bankrupt if he stopped. People think he's tough for keeping going, but he didn't have a choice. Being naive is a superpower. Great inventions are things people say can't happen because if they could happen, they'd already be out there. You have to be naive enough to say "I think I can do this" or "I don't even know that I can't." People said you couldn't build a battery-operated camera on WiFi. Jamie had never built anything before, so what did he know? They just went out and tried to put some parts together that seemed like they would work. Knowing too much gets in the way of doing the work. If you're thinking and analyzing the whole world, that's time you're not inventing, building, making calls. When are you actually doing the work? The Ring.com domain negotiation was survival. The owner originally wanted $750K for the domain. Jamie had $178K in the bank on the day he was supposed to pay. He called and said "My board said I can't do the deal, but they approved $175K today and $1M total over two years." The guy hung up, called back, and said fine. There was no board, it was just Jamie.  The stress internalized and destroyed him. Jamie wasn't sleeping and was super stressed. There are different types of entrepreneurs: some can handle that stress and sleep like a baby. Jamie internalized it, and it affected him terribly. Be transparent at home. Jamie's son was six years old and knew where the business was. His kindergarten teacher would say, "I hear the business isn't going well." They just had open, adult conversations about everything. Work-life integration, not balance. Jamie integrated work, life, and family together. His son came with him to pick up the first DoorBot in China. Oliver has been to 40 countries and almost every state because he traveled to every meeting. Bring your kid to the meeting. People asked, "How do you bring your kid to a meeting?" Jamie said, "Who do you think they're gonna remember more?" We're always scared to be different. Follow your passion, but make money when you need to. It's hard to see anyone who's achieved greatness who didn't do what they loved. But there are times you have to work your ass off to make money (Jamie was a bellhop and valet parking cars). When you set out to do something, do something you care about. If you fail trying to make money, that really sucks. If you fail trying to do something you love, at least you tried to do something you love. If Ring fails, they try to make neighborhoods safer. That's noble. You can tell who's successful by how fast they respond. It's a weird flip-flop of what it should be. You'd think a successful person should respond in a month, but the people running at the highest levels are actually very efficient. There's something about it. First principles thinking eliminates recurring meetings. There's no way every single Monday at 9 AM you have something important to talk about. The world can't exist like that. Meet when you need to do something, not on some cadence. Hire the best and let them work. Get the best quarterback, best kicker, best coach. Let them work together, let them practice, have the plays. You don't need to get together every day to talk about how you're feeling. No standing meetings, zero recurring one-on-ones. Jamie doesn't have a standing meeting with his team in any cadence. He talks to people all day long, all night long, Sundays, but it's event-based. "We have to get sales up on this, where are the issues?" If you're not doing your job, we'll fire you. Service to others is the best thing you can do. A year from now, Jamie would be celebrating something on the charitable side. Probably something with their work in South Central LA with LAPD, or at their 75-acre farm in Missouri helping the town that's been impacted by opioids and industrial farming.
