Does your kid actually know how to be a good friend — or are they just hoping the right friends find them? In this episode, Dr. Aliza Pressman sits down with Sissy Goff and David Thomas, therapists at Daystar Counseling in Nashville, hosts of the Raising Boys and Girls podcast, and New York Times bestselling authors of Capable. Together they unpack why the back-to-school season triggers so much social anxiety in kids, and why shifting the focus from "how do I find friends" to "how do I be a good friend" is one of the most powerful reframes parents can offer, whether their child is walking into their very first kindergarten classroom or navigating the brutal social terrain of middle school. What you'll learn: Why reframing "find a friend" as "be a friend" changes everything for anxious kids The FAILS framework: teaching kids that awkward first interactions are just data, not failure "Back pocket questions" kids can use to start conversations at lunch, recess, and beyond Why middle school friendship struggles are developmentally normal (even when they look fine on the outside) How to talk to kids about hard social moments without lecturing — the "breezy" approach The "balcony friends" and "pacesetter" frameworks for helping kids recognize who's actually good for them RESOURCES & LINKS:
Creativity is better when you have someone to share the messy middle with. - Brandi This week on Colour Me Happy Podcast! Creative friendships can be such a gift. In this episode, we talk about finding the people you can lean on, bounce ideas off, and talk to when you're stuck because chances are, they've been through something similar too. Alli shares how moving from working solo to collaborating on team-based murals changed the way she worked, while we chat about the balance between making art for yourself and navigating the demands of client work.Sometimes the best way out of a creative rut is simple: take yourself on an art date with a creative friend, try a new class, pick up a different medium, or just make something with no expectations attached.Takeaway Tips:Find your creative people. Have someone you can talk to about the highs, lows, weird ideas and hard seasons of making art. You don't have to figure everything out alone.Make creativity social again. Take a class together, go on an art date, visit a gallery, or spend an afternoon making something just for fun. Sometimes getting out of your own head is exactly what you need. To get inspired: Listen HERECome Home to Your Creativity! And speaking of making art together, I'm hosting a cozy Collage & Art Sale at my house! We'll have warm apple cider, lots of creative goodness, and a chance to sit around and make something together. It's the perfect excuse to bring a creative friend, get out of your own head and spend a little time making art just for the fun of it.Come get creative with us: $20 a Ticket

Send us Fan Mail One-on-ones can be some of the most valuable conversations a leader has, but too often they become status updates, task reviews, or the first meeting canceled when the calendar gets busy. In this episode, I'm exploring what makes a one-on-one truly meaningful and why these conversations should be about much more than work.From building trust and asking better questions to listening, following through, and simply showing up consistently, this is a conversation about creating space for the conversations your team may not have anywhere else. If you lead people, this episode will help you rethink your one-on-ones as opportunities for connection, growth, and stronger relationships.What You'll Learn:Why one-on-ones should go beyond status updatesHow consistency and listening build trustQuestions that can create more meaningful conversationsKey Takeaways:A one-on-one is about the person, not just their tasksTrust is built through consistency and follow-throughThe conversations that matter most often happen in privateCall to Action:Protect your next one-on-one and approach it differently. Spend less time reviewing tasks and more time asking thoughtful questions. Ask what has been challenging, what they're proud of, what support they need, and what you could do better as their leader. Most importantly, listen to the answers and follow through afterward.Listen on: Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and more.______________________________You can find me here:Instagram: @gingerbizWebsite: https://www.katymurrayphotography.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/TipsandTricksforyourbusinessX: https://twitter.com/GingerBizKMLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katy-murray-ginger-biz/
I took the leather chair, the good one, the one clients probably fought over. My briefcase sat by my feet, black and locked, like it had secrets of its own. The room smelled like a law library after a flood: old paper, and under it, rain.

Tim Finkel has the unfortunate honor of being the first two-time guest in We Lost a Good One history.On October 19th, 2023, Ryder was diagnosed with Diffused Intrinsic Pontine Glioma, an aggressive form of cancer in his brain stem that almost exclusively takes place in children, causing an inevitable loss of motor function and leading to eventual death. His initial prognosis was 8-12 months. He proved this wrong and beat his odds by over a year.Tim shares how Ryder strove to make every day he was given as radical as possible. And, how that mindset helped his family savor every moment and with the help of friends, family, and their community, find every last drop of joy, amidst devastating circumstances.If you would like to make a donation to the ChadTough organization in Ryder's honor, please visit;Ryder Finkel | ChadTough Defeat DIPG Foundation
Ogden Driskill made a shocking statement in his Newcastle debate with Chip Neiman. He said that we should have an abortion exception if the baby "isn't going to be a good one." Driskill has debated the issue of abortion numerous times in the legislature and knows how delicate of a topic that is. For him to make such a flippant remark is astounding. Right before he said that, he claimed to be pro-life. Youtube video of debate: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EOfrZwKLLQs

Anthony and Andy pick up on their conversation (part 1 was on Locked On Lakers) about Rob Pelinka executing a plan he devised years ago. The guys agree this is clearly lined up with Pelinka's basketball vision. They agree this is definitely a plan carried out. What Anthony can't decide is whether he agrees with some key points of the plan.

Climate Change, sadly, has become increasingly polarised in the UK over the last couple of years. And MPs consistently underestimate public support for climate action – they read the same skewed media that we do, and the minority who oppose more ambitious, or indeed any, action, often have the loudest voices. If you've ever wondered whether it's really worth getting in touch with your MP, or how best to engage with them, this episode is a must listen. Rebecca Willis is a Professor in Energy & Climate Governance at the University of Manchester, where she leads the Climate Citizens research group, looking into the role of public engagement in energy and climate governance. She is an expert advisor to the Climate Change Committee – the independent body that advises the government on tackling and preparing for climate change. And in 2019-2020, she was an Expert Lead to Climate Assembly UK, the first national Citizens' Assembly on Climate Change, which is something we dive into in the podcast. Becky is also the author of Too Hot to Handle – the democratic challenge of climate change.USEFUL LINKS:Rebecca Willis- Website- Linked In- Climate citizens research groupNational Emergency BriefingParents for the FutureClimate Assembly UKClimate BarometerHope for the FutureClimate Conversations – Larger UsRound Our WayMothers Climate Action NetworkWI Climate Ambassadors Scheme Previous episodes:Everyday influencers with Sam HamptonThe National Emergency Briefing with Nick OldridgeAccelerating climate action through sport - with Katie CrossIf you enjoyed this episode, please do leave a rating and/or a review wherever you get your podcasts

Use for the honesty frame: promising findings around mental health and cardiovascular measures, but limited evidence and need for stronger study design.Cai, Yiqing, Guo-Yan Yang, Yibo Liu, Xiang-yun Zou, Heng Yin, Xinyan Jin, Xue-han Liu, Chenlu Wang, Nicola Robinson, and Jian-Ping Liu. “Therapeutic Effects of Singing Bowls: A Systematic Review of Clinical Studies.” Integrative Medicine Research 14, no. 2 (2025): 101144. Use for the newer clinical overview. Important correction: this appears as 101144, not 101176. Good for anxiety, depression, sleep quality, cognition, autistic behavior, and EEG-related outcomes while still keeping the evidence cautious.Lin, F. W., et al. “Effects of Tibetan Singing Bowl Intervention on Psychological and Physiological Health in Adults: A Systematic Review.” 2025. Useful as another recent review angle, especially for psychological health, physiological measures, HRV, and brainwave-related discussion. Keep it secondary behind Stanhope and Cai.Landry, Jayan Marie. “Physiological and Psychological Effects of a Himalayan Singing Bowl in Meditation Practice: A Quantitative Analysis.” American Journal of Health Promotion 28, no. 5 (2014): 306–309. Use for the controlled relaxation study: 51 participants, randomized crossover design, singing bowl exposure or silence before directed relaxation.Goldsby, Tamara L., Michael E.

Mills. “Effects of Singing Bowl Sound Meditation on Mood, Tension, and Well-Being: An Observational Study.” Journal of Evidence-Based Complementary & Alternative Medicine 22, no. 3 (2017): 401–406. Use for reductions in tension, anger, fatigue, depressed mood, anxiety, and stress after singing bowl meditation. Good, but frame as observational, not definitive.Rio-Alamos, Cristina, et al. “Acute Relaxation Response Induced by Tibetan Singing Bowl Sounds: A Randomized Controlled Trial.” European Journal of Investigation in Health, Psychology and Education 13, no. 2 (2023): 317–328. Use for Tibetan singing bowl treatment compared with progressive muscle relaxation and a waiting-list control in anxious nonclinical adults.Walter, Nina, et al. “Neurophysiological Effects of a Singing Bowl Massage.” Medicina 58, no. 5 (2022): 594. Use for EEG, ECG, and respiration during singing bowl massage; the authors interpret the results as a shift toward a more mindful or meditative state.Goldsby, Tamara L., et al. “Mood, Emotional, and Spiritual Well-Being Interrelationships.” Religions 13, no. 2 (2022). Useful follow-up for spiritual well-being, emotional interpretation, and how people understand sound-healing experiences.Sound, Anxiety, HRV, and Brainwave CautionMallik, Adiel, and Frank A. Russo. “The Effects of Music & Auditory Beat Stimulation on Anxiety: A Randomized Clinical Trial.” PLOS ONE 17, no. 3 (2022): e0259312. Use this carefully for the broader point that sound-based treatments can reduce somatic and cognitive state anxiety. Do not use it as proof that singing bowls automatically entrain brainwaves.Ingendoh, Ruth Maria, Ella S. Posny, and Angela Heine. “Binaural Beats to Entrain the Brain? A Systematic Review of the Effects of Binaural Beat Stimulation on Brain Oscillatory Activity, and the Implications for Psychological Research and Intervention.” PLOS ONE 18, no. 5 (2023): e0286023. Very useful caution source. Use it when warning against overclaiming “brainwave entrainment” and frequency-healing claims.Vilímek, et al. 2022. Low-frequency sound / HRV / vibroacoustic-related research. Use cautiously if you want to discuss low-frequency vibration, body sensation, and autonomic response. I'd keep this as a secondary source unless you want a dedicated paragraph on vibroacoustics.Physics, Resonance, and CymaticsTerwagne, Denis, and John W. M. Bush. “Tibetan Singing Bowls.” Nonlinearity 24, no. 8 (2011): R51–R66. Use for the physics section: wall vibrations, water-surface waves, Faraday-wave effects, droplet motion, and the visible demonstration of resonance.Jenny, Hans. Cymatics: A Study of Wave Phenomena and Vibration. Newmarket, NH: MACROmedia, 2001. Use carefully for visual sound-pattern history. Good for imagery and occult imagination, but don't overuse it as clinical proof.Rossing, Thomas D. The Science of Sound. 3rd ed. San Francisco: Addison Wesley, 2002. Useful general acoustics source for resonance, overtones, vibration, sound waves, and instrument physics.Sound Baths, Wellness Culture, and Modern RitualSobo, Elisa J. “Sound Baths, Trauma Talk, and the Wellness Paradox in the USA.” Medical Anthropology 43, no. 5 (2024): 367–382. Excellent for the modern sound-bath/wellness-culture angle, especially trauma language, nervous-system talk, ritual performance, and how providers frame sound baths.Sobo, Elisa J. “A Beginner's Guide to Sound Baths — What They Are, How to Choose a Good One and What the Research Shows.” The Conversation (2024). Useful for accessible show-note language and ethical/practical framing.Sobo, Elisa J. “Healing Vibrations.” Anthropology News 64, no. 5 (2023): 28–32, 49. Good anthropology/public-facing source for sound healing and wellness culture.Tibetan Singing Bowls, History, and Cultural CommodificationGrimes, Samuel. “Where Did ‘Tibetan' Singing Bowls Really Come From?” Tricycle (2020). Use for the contested-history section. Strong source for questioning popular origin stories around “Tibetan” singing bowls.Joffe, Ben. “Anthropology and Tibetan Buddhism / Cultural Commodification / Tibetan Mystique.” 2015. Use for the larger argument about how Tibetan/Himalayan aura gets packaged in Western spiritual markets. Good support for the “Tibet as imagined storehouse of hidden wisdom” point.Scheidegger, Daniel A. “Tibetan Ritual Music.” Use for actual Tibetan Buddhist ritual sound: bells, cymbals, long horns, drums, chant, and liturgical soundscape. This helps separate real Tibetan ritual sound from overblown modern singing-bowl mythology.Lopez, Donald S. Prisoners of Shangri-La: Tibetan Buddhism and the West. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1998. Excellent support for Western romanticization of Tibet.Bishop, Peter. The Myth of Shangri-La: Tibet, Travel Writing, and the Western Creation of Sacred Landscape. Berkeley: University of California Press, 1989. Very useful for the “Tibet as fantasy geography” angle.Ritual, Sound, and Religious ExperienceEliade, Mircea. Shamanism: Archaic Techniques of Ecstasy. Princeton: Princeton University Press, 1964. Use carefully. Good for altered-state technologies and ritual sound/trance, but don't treat it as the final word on shamanism.Rouget, Gilbert. Music and Trance: A Theory of the Relations Between Music and Possession. Chicago: University of Chicago Press, 1985.

Cze-Chao (Sue) Tam, CEO of TRINITY International Industries, discusses how she started the company, what products she sells, where the products are made, and what makes them distinctive. She reveals her latest initiative, RENEW by TRINITY, which transforms a throwaway item into something beautiful and useful (you'll never guess what that throwaway item is!).
Most men think they keep sabotaging relationships because they're afraid of commitment. So they tell themselves: "I just haven't met the right person." "I'm better on my own." "I'm just not built for relationships." But deep down, something never fully settles. Because every time intimacy deepens… every time someone truly gets close… something inside them starts pulling away. Not because they don't care. But because closeness starts to feel emotionally overwhelming. In this episode, David sits down with Reuben Christian to unpack the deeper reality behind avoidant attachment, emotional withdrawal, and the painful cycle so many men silently repeat in relationships. Reuben shares how he spent years believing he was "broken" when it came to love. On the surface, he looked confident, social, successful, and deeply connected to people. But inside intimate relationships… he constantly felt trapped between wanting love and wanting escape. He explains how emotional intensity would trigger panic, overthinking, distancing, fault-finding, and eventually withdrawal—even in relationships that were loving and healthy. And the hardest part? He didn't understand why it kept happening. So like many men, he tried to think his way out of it. Books. Podcasts. Therapy. Relationship advice. But nothing fully changed the deeper pattern underneath. Because what looked like "commitment issues"… was actually a nervous system trying to protect him from emotional pain. In this conversation, David and Reuben explore how avoidant attachment develops, why men disconnect when relationships become emotionally real, and what actually begins to shift when men stop seeing themselves as broken. This isn't a conversation about becoming perfect in relationships. It's about learning how to stay present instead of disappearing when love becomes vulnerable.
Maybe it used to be the case that everyone believed a bunch of wild and crazy and reality-denying stuff, but at least we mostly shared those reality-challenged beliefs. Now it feels like everybody has their own bespoke insane reality-denying belief system, largely defined by the rejection of any institutional authority or shared truth. It's great, and we talk about it! Listen, if you must! Has something we said, or failed to say, made you FEEL something?

Visit today's blog post here. I used to be the person who rolled my eyes at coaches posting designer purses and "look how much I made" moments online. In fact, I literally posted on social media calling it out as everything wrong with the coaching industry. And yet… here I am, celebrating a recent launch and buying a purse for an upcoming trip to Spain. Life has a funny way of humbling you. In this episode, I'm unpacking what actually changed—and what didn't. Because it was never really about the purse. It was about the energy behind it. The lack of integrity, the performative marketing, and the disconnect from real coaching. So today, I'm sharing the mindset shifts and reminders that helped me build and scale my coaching business in a way that feels aligned, ethical, and genuinely abundant. –– Connect with Anna on Instagram: @heartcentered.entrepreneur
This week we're yapping about an old favorite topic—how the religious fanatics convinced that they know the mind of God barely seem to have a grasp on the very basics of the religion they claim to adhere to, and how that's probably bad for the world.
