When you or someone you know is diagnosed with dementia, the advice avalanche soon follows: diets, supplements, medications, gadgets, and more. In this episode, Teepa Snow and Greg Phelps slow it all down and start where care partners actually need to start: pause, take a breath, and take inventory.Teepa explains why a dementia diagnosis can mean many different things—and why jumping straight into trying to fix things can create more fear and confusion. Instead, she offers a steadier path: get curious about what's happening right now, name what you're feeling, and reduce the urgency so you can make clearer decisions.You'll also hear a simple, powerful reset that helps someone move out of panic mode: “Are you okay?”—a small interruption that creates space for real support.Helpful next step (product tie-in): If you want personalized guidance (without chasing fast fixes), consider a Care Partner Consult with a PAC-trained mentor—an individual conversation to talk through what's happening and identify practical first steps to move forward.To inquire, email info@teepasnow.com.Our content is available on Spotify to make it easy for our community to listen to.

Labels are everywhere: reactive dog, bad pet parent, confident trainer, resilient learner. They're meant to simplify things, and while they can be helpful, sometimes they do the opposite.In this episode, Emily and Ellen unpack how labels shape our expectations, our compassion, and our sense of what's possible. They explore when labels can be useful shorthand, and when they turn into invisible cages that weigh us (and our pets) down.This is a reflective, nuance‑forward conversation about identity, learning history, environment, and why describing what we see is often far more powerful than naming what we judge.TLDL (too long, didn't listen): 3 Key Takeaways 1️⃣ Labels are tools, not truths - Labels can help us communicate efficiently, but they become harmful when we mistake them for fixed identities or predictions about the future.2️⃣ Descriptive language restores possibility - Shifting from labels to observable behaviors helps us see context, environment, and change pathways more clearly.3️⃣ Even “positive” labels carry baggage - Compliments like resilient, easy, or smart can quietly create pressure, burnout, and unfair expectations.For the full episode show notes, including the resources mentioned in this episode, go here.More from Pet HarmonyPet Parents: enrichment ideas and practical behavior tips

This week carries a slow burn — and a powerful payoff.Late January isn't about rushing forward. It's about noticing what's been quietly building beneath the surface. Emotions rise for a reason. Something important wants your attention.Early in the week, a subtle shift begins as motivation and identity start to reshape. Midweek brings sparks of attraction, inspiration, and honest conversation. And by February 1, the Full Moon in Leo brings everything into the light — confidence, truth, and the need to be seen for who you really are.This is not a week to dim yourself or suppress what you feel.

Text us your thoughts!Artificial intelligence has exploded onto the scene with promises of personalized learning, instant feedback, and round-the-clock tutoring. Some teachers say it's transforming how students engage with mathematics. Others worry it's turning problem-solving into copy-and-paste, eroding reasoning, and creating a generation of students who can “get answers” but can't explain them. So today, we're exploring whether AI is a powerful tool that enhances learning? Or just another hindrance for teachers and students? As we explore the question: Is AI helpful in math education?Jed mentioned the book Fairness and Machine Learning Ed mentioned some resources, including:Ed Tech & AI Guidance for Math Leaders - NCSM My Notebook LM on AI Guidance- Notebook LM Common Sense Media resources for families, students, and teachers on understanding AI's impact on Education and Kids AIedu also has great ‘snapshot' convos to weave into your classroom A former NCTM President's Message was mentioned as well You can find Ed Campos on LinkedIn & Instagram: @edcamposjr and check out his non-profit Campo Creativo (@CampoCreativo559)Follow Cal Armstrong on LinkedIn & BlueSky: @calarmstrong.bsky.socialCheck out Jed Williams on online: jedediyah.comListened to the episode?

We know how to solve some of our nation's most intractable problems, but will we? In this Extra episode, Warren Smith examines President Trump's decision to cut $2 billion to nonprofits, some of them faith-based organizations, that deal with mental health and addiction recovery issues. And this his reversal on Wednesday, when the administration restored those grants. It is not yet clear what impact the 48 hours of chaos will have. But they provide us an opportunity to have a national conversation regarding what kind of help actually helps. The producer for today's program is Jeff McIntosh.

Welcome to 2026! In this episode, we're looking back at what we covered in 2025 and sharing what's coming in the year ahead. A Year of Growth 2025 was a year of evolution for the podcast. We covered topics you've been asking about - parenting triggers, rage, overwhelm, boundaries, and breaking family trauma cycles. We also did a deep dive across four episodes into Dr. Jonathan Haidt's book The Anxious Generation (which likely overstates the harm of social media on kids).  There's also a summary episode that covers all the main ideas from the four deep dives in just 17 minutes. Based on feedback from the Podcast Advisory Council, we shifted to shorter public episodes while full-length episodes moved to the Parenting Membership's private feed. Our goal is to get you to the insights that matter faster. 2026: The Year of Mental Health This year, we're going deep on mental health. What even is it? How can we support it in ourselves and our children? And how does it intersect with neurodivergence? I've already recorded the first episodes and I have to tell you - my mind has been blown by what I'm learning. Big Changes Coming The Parenting Membership is now open year-round with a new onboarding process. The website is getting a complete redesign with filters so you can search by your specific challenge and child's age. Plus 10 new starter videos explaining core concepts.
