In this enlightening episode, Andrea Samadi welcomes resiliency expert and author Horacio Sanchez to discuss his latest book, "Unlocking School Bias: Using Neuroscience to Improve Student Outcomes." Together, they delve into how educators can effectively address bias in their classrooms by exploring neuroscience-based strategies. Horacio shares the significance of understanding subconscious biases, such as confirmation bias and impact bias, and their influence on students' well-being and achievement. He emphasizes the role of educators in creating inclusive environments by being aware of their own biases and adopting practical strategies that foster positive student interactions. This episode provides invaluable insights for anyone looking to make impactful changes in educational settings. Watch this interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/V78873aZPBk On today's EP365 "Unlocking School Bias" you will learn to explore your own and your students' biases and discover: ✔ The latest research from psychology, education, and neuroscience. ✔ Different types of biases, including confirmation bias and impact bias, and how they manifest themselves in everyday life. ✔Practical strategies for educators who are ready to change their and their students' actions. ✔How patterns in one's environment create biases and affect the brain's development Welcome back to SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, an author, and an educator with a passion for learning and launched this podcast 7 years ago now, with the goal of bringing ALL the leading experts together (in one place) to help us to APPLY this research in our daily lives. Welcome back! It's always good to take some time away, for travel and family time, and it feels incredible to routine back to recording and routine. Thank you for tuning back in after our summer break where I hope you have taken some time off to refresh, before diving back into the second half of 2025. For today's EP 365, we meet with someone who I first heard about on our very first interview, EP #3[i], with educator, Ron Hall, from Valley Day School, Pennsylvania on “Launching Your Neuroeducational Program.” Ron Hall mentioned it was today's guest who opened his mind to connecting the brain to his classrooms, many years ago, and he has never looked back. Today, we welcome back resiliency expert, author Horacio Sanchez to the podcast for the 4th time. We met him first on EP 74[ii] on “How to Improve Brain Science to Improve School Climate”, EP 111[iii] on “Finding Solutions to the Poverty Problem: and again on EP 177[iv] where we gathered a team of experts to dive into the most significant insights they've noticed over the years in neuroscience. When we first met Horacio, we focused on his book The Education Revolution [ii]published by Corwin Press, that addresses the decline in empathy, increase in obesity, and the impact of implicit bias on minority students. Our conversation turned to focus on the problems we were seeing in the world at that moment (July 2020) highlighting the need for racial change through an understanding of race and culture. I knew that Horacio was deep into his next book, The Poverty Problem: How Education Can Promote Resilience and Counter Poverty's Impact on Brain Development that we went deep into on EP 74. Today we meet with Horacio Sanchez to review his latest book, Unlocking School Bias: Using Neuroscience to Improve Student Outcomes[v] that was released in February of this year, through Corwin Press. His most recent book, Unlocking School Bias ends the confusion around bias and provides educators with research and strategies that enable them to effectively address bias in the classroom and school in appropriate and productive ways. Learn to explore your own and your students' biases and discover: The latest research from psychology, education, and neuroscience Different types of biases, including confirmation bias and impact bias, and how they manifest themselves in everyday life Practical strategies for educators who are ready to change their and their students' actions How patterns in one's environment create biases and affect the brain's development Implicit bias occurs subconsciously and so quickly that the conscious brain is unaware that it happened. Yet, with mindful practice and reflection, we can rewrite the automated processes in our brains, stop our subconscious minds from determining our thoughts and behaviors, and help our students feel safe and successful in school. Let's meet Horacio Sanchez and explore our own biases first, and then see how this understanding can help us with our students in the classroom, or with the athletes we coach, or in our workplace. Welcome back for the 4th time Horacio! It's incredible to see you again. What have you been up to (other than traveling and working in schools?) INTRO: Horacio, I know that implicit bias came up on our first interview, and I've had other guest speak about this topic, but I wonder what made you want to write this book about Unlocking School Bias? Q1: After reading the Foreword by David Fink, where he mentioned that “he lived in a world where everyone around him constantly made assumptions about how people with dyslexia and adhd thought, felt and performed in school” and that “you can't dodge these assumptions (that we know are biases). I started to see things differently, especially as you know the work I do day to day is around helping students who are struggling readers. I want to be sure that I am aware of my own biases. With the insights from David's Foreword, why is it so important (or critical) that we check ourselves every day to stop our subconscious mind from determining our thoughts and behaviors? How can we do this? Q2: How do you see biases impacting student wellbeing and academic achievement? Q3: This topic has become popular over the past few years. What are some common misconceptions about biases that are harmful? Q4: What have you uncovered with the latest psychology, education and neuroscience research that can help us to break through the bias barrier? How can we use neuroscience to understand how our brains produce bias, predict when it's probable, and prepare ourselves for appropriate responses? Q5: Chapter 1 The Birth of Bias you cover the first year of life of a baby, and how “in-group bias is an unattended outcome of infant-mother attachment” as well as how a “fear of strangers” first occurs in the early years of life. How can this brain-science now help teachers in the classroom with their students? What about for those who work with athletes? Or the corporate space? Q6: In Chapter 2 The Cup is Half Empty on the negativity bias, you cover in depth how “negativity bias is already present in the first year of life” and that “we are alerted to negative things in our environment faster than positive ones” and that “we remember negative experiences longer and more vividly.” This chapter was hard for me to read because I work hard to focus on the positive side of things every day, squashing the negatives, and wondered if brain science will go against all the hard work that I put into this. What does neuroscience say about the negativity bias, and how can we use this understanding to improve results in our schools, sports and workplaces? Q6B: The part of this chapter on change interested me, as I do come across your example from the book on change in my day to day experience. What can we do to help us through change, knowing how hard it is for the human brain?  Q7: In Chapter 3, Believe it or Not on Confirmation Bias, you cover how “our brain is programmed to see things in the environment that support existing beliefs” and that “research shows that teachers' beliefs about students might be the strongest predictor of outcomes.” This reminded me of what David Fink wrote about in the Foreword, that was behind the reason for why he has devoted his life to “addressing the biases that stunt student achievement and well-being.” How can we combat confirmation bias and update our belief system?  Q8: Horacio, I love the work of Julie Porter, who created the graphic that accompanies your book. She explains each chapter, with an explanation of each bias, as well as strategies that educators can use. Since I'm always looking to extend the learning to our sports environments and workplaces, is there anything we should do different in our sports environments or workplaces as we are navigating these biases? Q9: As I was reading your book, and thinking of these subconscious biases that we all have, it made me think of something that came up in my brain scan evaluation with Dr. Shane Creado, after we recorded EP #84.[vi] Dr. Creado asked me if I had ever done any shadow work. At the time I hadn't and I didn't even know what it was. I thought it must have been important, so I've since started to look at Carl Jung's work, and I wonder, how are our subconscious biases similar to our shadow-sides, or the hidden parts of ourselves that we can explore to improve our self-awareness? Q10: What are some final thoughts of what we can do with the “200 milliseconds where our subconscious mind has shaped our perceptions and influenced our behaviors?” What can we do to lessen the impact of implicit biases and create schools, sports or work environments where we can all flourish?” Horacio, I want to thank you very much for coming back to the podcast for a 4th time. What's next on the horizon for you? We need to have you back for a 5th time, which will be a record for us on the podcast, beating out all guests.

There is no such thing as 'neutral' history. All history is written from a religious standpoint, reflecting either an awareness of and reverence for God and his purposes and dealings, or an ignorance of the same.  Towards the end of the twentieth century, some Christian historians reacted to 'providentialist' history, that is, history that gives place to God, and sought to deal in strictly naturalistic terms, explaining and conjecturing on the sole basis of biological, social, and economic forces. It was thought that only this approach could make the work of Christian historians appeal to those with no faith. This framework was even brought to bear to 'explain' revival movements and the success of preachers.  In 1994 Iain H. Murray engaged with such a group of scholars in a book review. His critique will continue to resonate while Christian scholars feel the need to operate according to a framework which allows no room for a free, sovereign God to work out his glorious purposes in the world.  We read Mr. Murray's review article this week, alongside the Foreword to his book Heroes, which sets forth some of the blessings history offers to the attentive believer.    Featured Resources – Iain H.

In this explosive eyewitness account, Cambridge University historian Svetlana Lokhova exposes the “Russia hoax” —and how a devious spy Stefan Halper operating against the Trump presidential campaign ensnared Lt. General Michael T. Flynn. For his efforts, this spy collected massive payouts from the US taxpayer. Halper planted lies, entrapped unsuspecting Trump advisers, and leaked classified information to the media in 2017. Swept up in this fabricated narrative, Lokhova was falsely accused of being Flynn's lover and a Russian intelligence agent—a smear that derailed her academic career. As an eye witness, Lokhova co-operated with Special Counsel John Durham's investigation for years. Now, she reveals the truth behind Spygate, tracing the tangled web of deceit involving President Obama's inner circle, Hillary Clinton's campaign, British intelligence operatives, the CIA, and Christopher Steele and more. Drawing on newly declassified records and findings from the Durham investigation, Lokhova also exposes the media's role in amplifying these falsehoods. Recommended by Rep. Devin Nunes, Maria Bartiromo, John Solomon, Sara A. Carter, and Dan Bongino—and first discussed on The Dennis Prager Show—this new edition features an extensive Foreword packed with fresh revelations about the conspirators and their cover-ups. This is the untold story of Spygate—and Lokhova's long fight for justice. 1840 PEMBROKE COLLEGE

Send us a textIn this week's episode, I sit down with the incredibly inspiring Elizabeth Kipp, a woman whose story is nothing short of miraculous. Elizabeth opens up about her battle with chronic pain, her journey through addiction, and the long road to recovery that led her to a place of deep healing and peace.We talk about what it's like to feel dismissed by traditional medicine, how she found real relief through alternative healing practices, and why spirituality—and especially prayer—was a game-changer for her. Elizabeth shares how ancestral trauma and pain can follow us through generations, but also how we can break the cycle with awareness, intention, and support.She gets real about the importance of self-talk, the power of community, and how she ultimately learned to trust her body's ability to heal. And we dig into her powerful book, written from the heart for anyone who has ever felt trapped by chronic pain.If you've ever struggled with physical pain, emotional wounds, or the feeling that doctors just don't get it, this episode is for you. Elizabeth reminds us that healing is possible—and that we're never alone on the journey.Be sure to connect with Conversations with Bizzy! Patreon: http://patreon.com/elizabethchanceFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/conversationswithbizzy/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/busylivingsober YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethchance TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@busylivingsoberwithec X/Twitter: https://x.com/BusyLivingSober Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/elizabethlchance/busy-living-sober/     LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethchance/ Sign up for email updates: http://eepurl.com/iDtRnw  To reach Elizabeth Kipp and a special gift from Elizabeth She is the international best-selling author of “The Way Through Chronic Pain: Tools to Reclaim Your Healing Power.”Website https://Elizabeth-Kipp.comFacebook https://www.facebook.com/ElizabethKippStressManagement/ Instagram https://www.instagram.com/lizi.kipp/LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/elizabethkipp/YouTube https://www.youtube.com/@elizabethkipp9855Here is a Free Gift:Free Download Book Chapter of The Way Through Chronic Pain: Tools to Reclaim Your Healing PowerFree Download of Preface, Foreword, Introduction, and Chapter One of the book “The Way Through Chronic Pain: Tools to Reclaim Your Healing Power.”https://elizabethkippcom.simplero.com/page/132869Remember you can reach out to me at elizabeth@elizabethchance.com with story ideas and if you want to come on my show. Thanks for listening! Love, Bizzy

Over the years, Abe Partridge and Ferrill Gibbs have maintained a steady appetite for hunting the songs of the serpent handling people.New information – courtesy of a serpent handling preacher from Gray, Kentucky – diverted the fellows to an interesting trail.Abe Partridge, songwriting artist turned prolific documentarian; and Ferrill Gibbs, Murrow Award-winning podcast producer, peel back the "big stinking onion" to see what lies beneath. Meanwhile, imprisoned serpent handling believer Glenn Summerford still serves a 99 year sentence. Any day now, a fresh parole hearing comes.Abe and Ferrill's journey began in 2020, with a podcast called Alabama Astronaut. (To start at the beginning, go there.) In 2024, they released a memoir of serpent handling believer Cody Coots, Marked for Life. It's a deep dive podcast into the mind of one serpent handling believer.Music by Kenosha Kid. Special thanks to freelance journalist Beth Braden.

Our guest in this must-hear radio interview describes how hundreds of thousands of military age men from China and Russia, as well as Arab nations, have crossed our borders under Joe Biden's invitation. They are getting ready to strike us from within at the command of Putin, Xi Jinping, or Muslim terrorist leaders. And we have no domestic army capable of hunting them down or responding to their orchestrated attacks when they begin, especially if their domestic attacks are timed with open warfare abroad. America now lives under the threat of highly organized internal armies forming in our midst, as well as scattered terrorist groups.   This situation has arisen during the last four years under Joe Biden. In 2023, we began hearing about young Chinese men crossing the border in large numbers, dressed and acting as a group, and we suspected it had to be a secret army. But we did not fully face the implications, even when expert Gordon Chang warned in July 2023, “There is now a Chinese invasion of the U.S. homeland.” [1]   Then came this stirring, world-shaking interview with former U.S. Border Agent J.J. Carrell, who has just released his new book, Treason: The Biden Administration's Strategic Destruction of America's Sovereignty. I was proud to write the Foreword, where I describe freedom colleague J.J. Carrell as “A Warrior in the Battle of All Times.” Now, this radio interview with him has further convinced Ginger and me that it is time to face up to the enormous threat of these invasions.   How many of you saw Border Czar Tom Homan's presentation at CPAC's annual conservative conference on February 22, 2025?[2] I have seen many videos of Tom, but I was struck this time by how frustrated and angry he seemed, using expletives and making threats to catch every illegal immigrant that seemed somehow too threatening. It made me think that something was standing in his way and hugely frustrating him, which our guest J.J. concurred with. Homan, J.J. observed, was fighting limited skirmishes when a massive military offensive against the invaders was required. He is very vivid about this in our interview with him.   Ginger suddenly put it into perspective, declaring in words to the effect that we were facing an army to fight a war within our borders—and that connected the dots for me. We have always had groups of people who have wanted to destroy freedom-loving America, including Russia, Communist China, and various Muslim terrorist groups sponsored by Iran. But Biden had opened our borders and let them inside America in enormous numbers, even supporting them while helping them to disperse throughout America with the help of NGOs supported by the government.   America's core of freedom-loving people, and the fragmented people with similar values throughout the world, must face this threat. We are not the only nation that has been surreptitiously invaded in recent years by our globalist governments. We have to get real about all this. In his book Treason, J.J. declares:   We have invited the world's criminals into our nation. We have allowed foreign nations to dump their worst into America. We have a standing army of millions of thugs, rapists, murderers, drug dealers, pedophiles, and violent gangs that are allowed to roam our country unimpeded. I don't want anyone to read over what I just wrote, so I want to reiterate it again – there are millions of illegal alien criminals in our country.” [p. 107]   “The total number of Chinese nationals that have entered our nation in the last four years is approximately 200,000! [p. 123]   With tens of thousands of PLA soldiers inside our walls, what will it look like when they are activated?” [P. 126]   Transform your thinking about the war coming at us from within by listening to this interview with J.J. Carrell and buying his book, Treason, now available.   [1] GORDON CHANG: Chinese Agents Are Slipping Across Biden's Broken Southern Border | The Daily Caller   [2] CPAC 2025: Tom Homan – FULL SPEECH     ______   Learn more about Dr. Peter Breggin's work: https://breggin.com/   See more from Dr. Breggin's long history of being a reformer in psychiatry: https://breggin.com/Psychiatry-as-an-Instrument-of-Social-and-Political-Control   Psychiatric Drug Withdrawal, the how-to manual @ https://breggin.com/a-guide-for-prescribers-therapists-patients-and-their-families/   Get a copy of Dr. Breggin's latest book: WHO ARE THE “THEY” - THESE GLOBAL PREDATORS?
