Podcasts about hidden gifts

We're so excited about this episode, because we want every kid who may be extroverted or introverted to know that their gifts are amazing and that their limitations are amazing too! We're going to talk about 3 things parents of extroverted and introverted girls need to know and 3 things parents of extroverted and introverted boys need to know. There's a great book that we both love, The Hidden Gifts of the Introverted Child, by Marti Olsen Laney. Listen to this description of the differences, introverts generally prefer stimulation in small manageable doses whereas extroverts seek lots of action and excitement. An introvert may pursue topics in depth, while an extrovert may be more oriented toward breadth. An introvert may need time to process his/her emotions before responding. An extrovert is more likely to react in the moment. We've seen a lot of evidence of this being true. Another book we love, called Quiet, which also revolutionized my perspective on it, and I recommend it to parents of introverts all the time.   . . . . . .  ⁠Owen Learns He Has What it Takes: A Lesson in Resilience⁠ ⁠Lucy Learns to Be Brave: A Lesson in Courage⁠⁠ More Links: Grab your tickets today for the⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Raising Capable Kids Conference⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with David Thomas, Sissy Goff and special guests!

THE UNIVERSALITY OF THE HUMAN EXPERIENCE What happens when you want to walk the Camino, but you have a physical limitation that could prevent you from doing it? Well, in the case of today's guest, Richard, you just go do it anyway. Today's inspiring pilgrim conversation filled with spiritual insight, courage, and determination. Talking with Richard reminded me how much I take for granted, with all my senses working and my body as able as it can be one week away from turning 60. He also reminded me that there are gifts hidden in loss and trials, gifts that we can use to deepen our human experience and understand its universality.

When Lisa Louise Cooke walked into her estranged grandmother's house in Arizona, she had no idea she was about to discover the key to healing a decades-old family rift.

After years of separation following her parents' messy divorces, a mysterious feeling in her grandmother's bedroom guided Lisa Louise to uncover not just a family heirloom, but a handwritten note that became the bridge to reconciliation. This powerful story reveals how our ancestors sometimes speak to us through the most unexpected discoveries, and how listening to those quiet promptings can heal wounds we thought were permanent. Whether you're dealing with family divisions or simply wondering how the past can inform the present, Lisa Louise's journey from disconnection to deep relationship will remind you that it's never too late for healing when we're willing to trust our instincts and follow the voice that guides us home.Learn more about Lisa Louise and Genealogy Gems here:https://lisalouisecooke.com/ 〰️

In Episode 364 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, host Andrea Samadi welcomes Dr. Robert Melillo, a pioneer in developmental neurology. Dr. Melillo, co-founder of Brain Balance Achievement Centers and an acclaimed author, discusses his groundbreaking work on conditions like ADHD, autism, dyslexia, and more. Watch our interview on YouTube here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=87wpX05ZOaQ  This episode delves into Dr. Melillo's innovative Brain Balance Program, which uses neuroscience-based exercises to address functional connectivity in the brain without medication. Dr. Melillo shares insights from his book "Disconnected Kids," now in its third edition, and explores the significance of primitive reflexes in childhood brain development. Dr. Melillo explains how identifying and nurturing the unique gifts within children can help them overcome neurological challenges and thrive. He also highlights his journey and the mentors who shaped it, along with a glimpse into his personalized program offerings based in New York and online. Welcome back to SEASON 13 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. For today's episode #364, we meet with Dr. Robert Melillo[i], a leading expert in developmental neurological conditions such as ADHD, autism, OCD, tics, dyslexia, anxiety, and depression in both children and adults. He is the co-founder of Brain Balance Achievement Centers, the developer of the Melillo Method®, and he runs the Melillo Center for Developing Minds in NY. His book, Disconnected Kids: The Groundbreaking Brain Balance Program® for Children with Autism, ADHD, Dyslexia, and Other Neurological Disorders[ii], is now in its Third Edition, endorsed by Daniel Goleman, author of Emotional Intelligence, who calls his book “a visionary new approach,” For today's episode #364, we meet with Dr. Robert Melillo, where we looked at: ✔ His book that's now in its 3rd Edition, Disconnected Kids: The Groundbreaking Brain Balance Program®  ✔ Dr. Robert Melillo's Center for Developing Minds in New York and how they have been helping thousands of families around the world. ✔ What are milestones we can look for if we think our child or student has a vulnerability. ✔ Where to begin with The Melillo Method. Disconnected Kids is a comprehensive at-home guide to his Brain Balance program, which involves no medication or medical interventions but focuses instead on movement and sensory exercises that stimulate proper brain development. This updated and revised edition also features new exercises and the latest research findings on how the retention of primitive reflexes—the involuntary movements babies are born with that typically are replaced with intentional movements by their first birthday—plays an integral role in the development of neurological issues. Through the exercises in this book, these reflexes can be diminished, making brain balance easier to attain. Disconnected Kids helps readers guide children susceptible to a brain imbalance to overcome challenges and allow their true gifted selves to shine. Let's meet Dr. Robert Melillo, and learn together about his new visionary approach to help ALL children uncover their authentic gifts, and shine. Welcome Dr. Melillo. Thank you for joining us today on the podcast. Have we reached you in New York today? It's it a sunny day there today? INTRO: For sure, we do need to get up early here before the weather hits those high numbers! Before we get into your books, achievement centers and the methods you have created to help children with developmental neurological conditions, can we start with when it was that you first became interested in looking for solutions for children with neurological conditions? Where did your interest in brain disorders begin, what role did Denise Festa have on your journey and how did this lead to your Brain Balance Program where you have helped (by now) well over 50,000 young children around the world? Q1: There is nothing like watching your own child struggle (whether its academically, socially or emotionally). I was drawn to this work in the late 1990s when you were first discovering your Brain Balance Program (working as a classroom teacher years before having my own children) when I wanted to help children with social and emotional learning. It was at this time that many educators were starting to connect the dots with the importance of understanding how our brain works while learning to read, or do math, or learn a new language. I just wonder, where did your children end up career wise? That really did give me chills! This is the whole reason why I do this podcast. We can see a child in school and they might be struggling in the traditional classroom with the fact that they must sit and learn. And you talk about the vulnerabilities there. And there's these unique gifts that we know our children all have (we just need to help bring them out in our kids or students). Q2: Dr. Melillo, I've got to say that I'm beyond impressed with your approach to helping children, and families. I'm going to guess that the passion that comes through in your work is because the results you have seen are profound. It took me 5 seconds to see something different behind your work with an intro video you created for your book, Disconnected Kids[iii], which is where you suggest families begin when they have a child they want to assess to see if there is an imbalance somewhere. If a parent has a child at home and they are struggling somewhere, (academically, socially or they have been diagnosed with a brain disorder and are not making progress) where do you recommend we begin? At what age do most families seek you out for help, and what is the pathway you suggest in this process to figuring out how to help parents to understand what might be happening in your child's brain, that causes them to seem disconnected? Q3: You say in your book “to change aberrant behaviors, you have to change the brain; otherwise you are just managing the symptoms.” Is this what led you to create your Brain Balance Program, and what does this program entail? Q4: What milestones should we be aware of? Q4B: Have you ever come across the work of Glen Doman[iv]? Q5: So to wrap this all up, we become aware as parents or teachers of these important developmental milestones, and if we notice deficiencies in these milestones, we can purchase your book, Disconnected Kids in it's 3rd Edition now, we can come and visit your centers in New York, we can take some online courses to learn more, someone could also work with you via virtual training. Can you share where we should start if we want to learn more about your programs and services? Q6: Dr. Melillo, for people who would like to work with you, even virtually, is the best way to click the inquiry button on your website? What can someone expect wtih your virtual program? https://www.drrobertmelillo.com/virtual-programs/ Q7: What online course have your created, and who would benefit from them? https://www.drrobertmelillo.com/courses/ Q8: Have I missed anything important? Dr. Melillo, I want to thank you for joining me today on the podcast, and sharing your work with our listeners. This is important work you are doing, and I'm grateful to have had the chance to meet you, and share the vision for where you will take the Melillo Method, that has already been helping thousands of children globally. For people who might notice some vulnerabilities, or milestones that they are concerned about, what would you suggest?

Every podcaster, no matter how experienced, has made their fair share of mistakes — and that's not just normal, it's necessary for growth. In this episode we're digging into the common slip-ups that happen behind the mic, why they're nothing to be ashamed of, and how embracing mistakes can actually make your show stronger and more relatable. From technical glitches to guest mispronunciations, we'll explore how these moments can lead to unexpected opportunities, audience connection, and long-term podcasting success. Mistakes aren't roadblocks — they're building blocks. Every podcaster has them—flubbed intros, awkward silences, tech fails. But what if your mistakes aren't setbacks, but setups for growth? Today's Hosts: MacKenzie Bennett and Mike Dell Common Podcasting Mistakes (And Why They're Normal) Technical mishaps: bad audio, dead batteries, laggy guests. Editing errors: missed ums and ahs, over-editing, or publishing the wrong version. Content mistakes: rambling tangents, missed questions, forgetting your CTA. Guest flubs: a guest misspeaks, or you pronounce their name wrong (and how recovery matters more than perfection). Point: Mistakes happen to everyone, from beginners to seasoned pros. Normalize it! The Hidden Gifts in Podcasting Mistakes Authenticity: Listeners love real moments; they feel more connected when you're human. Unexpected Content: Tangents or mistakes can turn into great bonus episodes or blooper reels. Learning Opportunities: Every error teaches you something—about your process, equipment, or even your audience. Audience Engagement: Invite your audience in on your learning journey ("What do you think I should've done here?"). Idea: Some podcasters even intentionally share bloopers to build community and lighten the mood. How to Turn Mistakes into Growth Reflect, Don't Regret: After a mistake, ask: What went wrong? What's the lesson? Document Lessons Learned: Keep a "lessons log" for future episodes. Adjust Processes: Add checklist items to prevent repeat errors. Embrace Real-Time Recovery: Practice improv and grace when things go off-script. Celebrate Progress: Revisit early episodes to appreciate your growth curve. Bonus Tip: Try turning small mistakes into bonus content or future topic inspiration. Mindset Shift: From Perfection to Progress The pressure to be perfect and how it actually stifles creativity. Letting go of perfection opens up space for experimentation and genuine connection. Listeners often prefer personality over perfection—they're tuning in for you, not flawless execution. Tips for Minimizing the Impact of Mistakes Redundancy in recording (record locally + cloud). Soundcheck and equipment checklist before each episode. Prep outlines but allow for organic conversation. Record short segments rather than long continuous takes. Have a post-production review process. Reflect on their own growth moments and celebrate progress. Even when you think you're past the learning curve, new mistakes pop up. Here's how to stay humble and curious as your show evolves. Looking back, our best lessons came from moments we didn't plan. Mistakes make better podcasters. Thanks for listening to Podcast Insider, you can subscribe to new episodes out every Monday.

What does it actually mean when your conscious sun or earth shows up in an open center in your Human Design chart—and is that a bad thing? In this episode, Nicole tackles a common question that stirs up a lot of confusion and fear for people exploring their design. The answer might surprise you—and even help you unlock your greatest potential. Nicole breaks this concept down in a way that's both relatable and empowering, using her own chart to show how open centers with defined gates aren't flaws—they're opportunities. She introduces a powerful new way to look at these placements: like a wild horse that needs to be tamed, they hold incredible potential once you learn how to work with them. You'll hear how these chart dynamics play out in real life, why they can feel so challenging, and what it takes to move from struggle to strength. This isn't just theory—it's a practical path toward embodying your design more fully. If you're looking for a clearer, more grounded way to interpret your Human Design and use it to fuel your growth, this episode will give you the clarity and inspiration to start doing exactly that.

Send us a textJohn Barnhardt, writer/director/producer of OPEN DOOR, the documentary film about Temple Grandin, shares his insights, revelations and experiences as both filmmaker and teacher  in the making of the film. A film festival hit, AN OPEN DOOR is an iconic, inside peek at the mind of Colorado State University professor Temple Grandin, well-known for her exemplary work in understanding how cattle and horses see, hear and feel and influencing livestock industry practices. Her ground-breaking work has heavily influenced the humane treatment of cattle and horses and is considered a hallmark in animal welfare care. Temple, who is autistic, has done extensive efforts both through her voice and work in pushing the envelope of understanding  and acceptance for neuro-divergent people everywhere. John, with the devoted support of executive producer John Festervand, created a film that not only captures the essence of one of the most powerful voices of our time for animal welfare and autism, but is an emotionally inspiring experience to do our very best in all walks of life. The film is touching, real and a beautiful example of one person's willingness to be vulnerable and authentic in the face of a world which once institutionalized the autistic. John, a teacher at CSU, a working cinematographer and founder of Barnfly Productions (https://www.barnflyproductions.com)  shares the credit for the film's success with  his CSU student crew. Their professionalism matches that of other professionals with multiple years of experience, says John. In this insightful interview about a heavily-touted documentary, John shares his own learning experiences with Temple during production. Her 17th book, Visual Thinking - the Hidden Gifts of People Who Think In Pictures, Patterns and Abstractions, is featured throughout the film. This book and Temple's nudges encouraged John to look at his own perceptions about math and education differently. Temple's life was portrayed in the 2010 movie. She was played by Clare Danes. John re-introduces Temple to the world in An Open Door and her vast wealth knowledge at age 78. A clip is featured in this interview.

Gosh the year is just flying, isn't it? Lately, I've been asked by women battling an unhealthy relationship with food & their body if recovery was worth it. Am I truly happy now? And I've seen so many women make the mistake of believing the lies. The lies that they will be miserable once they gain weight or that once they commit to putting their health first, they just won't like who they are. Many women I work with 1:1, actually come to me feeling like they are stuck in this never-ending cycle of an eating disorder & they just aren't sure they will ever escape from it. I feel that on so many levels. & I have sat with all of those same thoughts & beliefs. But I Recovered. & sis, so can you!

Sister, sometimes the BEST thing & the WORST thing, can be the SAME thing! My eating disorder was the BEST, WORST thing that I have experienced, & I am truly grateful for the process of recovery. Robert Adams says, "There is only one decision you need to make: you are either working at your freedom or you are accepting your bondage." Stop staying chained where you are sweet friend! There is so much more to this thing called life.  My question for you today is: What is your freedom worth to you? ~ I hope today's show touches your soul & helps provide PROOF to you, that recovery is possible & that there is LIFE after an eating disorder. There is freedom available for you! I pray you make the choice to surrender the hard, so that you can experience the gift of recovery in your life. with love & hugs, lindsey Find All the Things -＞ www.herbestself.co  ______ Coach with Me -＞www.lindseynichol.com/apply-for-coaching  ______ Email me directly -> info@lindseynichol.com   ______ Join the free FB community -> www.facebook.com/groups/herbestselfsociety/  ______ Need a helping hand guiding you girl!?

The protesting owner, for whom witnesses came forward - does not need a document to be witnessed, nor does the protestor need to require a document -- can be done on its own. And one can come back and claim coercion to testify, etc. There's no need for a signed document, but if you're going to have one, you need witnesses throughout the process. Also, this kind of kinyan should, perhaps be written down, for it to take effect. Plus, more notifications out of Nehardea. Also, when the document includes mention of a concealed gift -- why is it concealed? How should it be prepared? Or preemptively signing away property...?

'Tis the season of giving and many people will be donating to charities this year, but it can be confusing to navigate who to give to and how. In this episode of Edelman Financial Engines' Everyday Wealth™, Jean and wealth planner Andy Smith explore different giving vehicles, like donor-advised funds and qualified charitable deductions. They'll discuss how a planner can help you develop a giving strategy that could not only lower your tax liabilities, but make a big difference for those in need. Then, Jean speaks with Dr. Stephen Post, professor of family, population and preventive medicine and founding director of the Center for Medical Humanities, Compassionate Care and Bioethics at Stony Brook University, about why giving is so good for us. His bestselling books include The Hidden Gifts of Helping and Why Good Things Happen to Good People.   Ms. Chatzky receives cash compensation for acting as host of the Everyday Wealth podcast and for related activities and therefore has an incentive to endorse Edelman Financial Engines and its planners.

In this episode I expound upon Dr. Andrew Huberman's latest episode (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wAZn9dF3XTo) about a 15-20 minute journaling protocol with 200 peer reviewed articles highlighting it's ability to improve psychological ailments like depression and anxiety as well as physical ailments like auto-immune (lupus, chrohn's, etc...) sleep issues, memory loss, alertness and more.  JOURNALING UNLOCKS HIDDEN GIFTSI show that this makes any method of self expression a direct expression of the soul.  If you do not bring the truest expression of your soul, it will turn into illness.I end with a blurb about journaling from Matthew McConaughey:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LZxgOGjULAQ

— Is it possible that you could have prevented your father's death if you had saved him? In spite of the fact that this was what he wanted, wasn't that difficult? ” When we die, how do we want others to remember us? In our final days, how do we want to be treated? Death is nothing new to Yvonne Caputo. In her early thirties, she was able to name seventeen family members and friends who had passed away. Claude and his son Jimmy, both dead by suicide, her cousin Alan, murdered in Central Park, and her brother Mark, killed in a car accident, were among those who died. Each of these deaths left her with many questions, the most important of which was: Why don't we talk about the end of life before the end of life? While working in a retirement community, Yvonne learned about the Five Wishes®, a legal document that expresses a person's end-of-life wishes beyond an advance directive. She decided to broach this difficult subject with her dad. What would the outcome of discussing such a dark subject be? Yvonne Caputo's first book, Flying with Dad, was about her father's experiences in World War II. But this wasn't what readers focused their questions on. Instead, they asked her about how she and her dad talked about what he wanted for his end-of-life experiences, how she walked him through his Five Wishes document and how, when the day came, she stopped the paramedics from reviving him. In Dying with Dad, Yvonne shares the joy she felt when her father died on his terms. And the reason she knew what those terms were was because they had had a heart-to-heart conversation about it before it was too late. Dying with Dad inspires us to think about meaningful discussions for when we or our loved ones are aging or preparing for death. Discussions about death and grief, but also about crossing the finish line joyfully and triumphantly. You can have the conversations that matter, before it's too late.

Welcome to another exciting episode of HR to HX! In this new series, we're diving into the rules—or maybe the no rules—guidance, and gifts of the human resources practice. I'm your host, Stacie Baird, and after 25 years in this field, I've learned so much about what works for me, my teams, and the personal growth I've undergone to get where I am today. And guess what? I'm still growing every day! Throughout this series, we'll have amazing guests sharing their own learnings from their extensive experience in HR. From CHROs to talent acquisition experts, we'll explore the valuable insights they've gained over their careers. But for now, let's kick off this series by sharing a few of my own stories. My first "non-rule" rule is something I discovered about 16 or 17 years ago, which I call "Let them order the cake—or don't order the cake—but you can eat it." Let me explain. Back in my mid-twenties, I was invited to a large-scale integration call for a Fortune 50 company after a merger announcement. They asked me to order cakes for every single location involved in the integration. At the time, I was so eager to make an impact and be relevant that I didn't hesitate to say yes. However, looking back, I realize how this kind of non-strategic, administrative task took away from my true value in HR. Today, studies show that women, minorities, and marginalized populations tend to accept non-promotable work more readily, and it's time we change that. As HR professionals, we must prioritize strategic functions over event planning or other administrative tasks. I'll discuss seeking validation from your leader and having an open conversation about your workload and priorities. And HR leaders, stand up for your team and teach them how to decline non-strategic tasks with respect and dignity. Join us in the coming months as we explore more lessons and experiences from HR professionals, reflecting on the impact of their special gifts. Until then, see you next week on HR to HX!

Anxiety…who doesn't deal with it from time to time? Anxiety can actually lead to a more mindful life - even becoming a superpower for sensitive people. How do we unlock the hidden potential of anxiety? How can it actually fuel personal growth? These are things that Dr. Jeanne Retief and I discuss as we explore the “seek for serenity.”    Jeanne has a long family history of mental illness and had a difficult home life growing up. She was always an anxious child, but panic disorder manifested in 2015 when she was traveling for work and had an attack that landed her in the emergency room. Despite her background in human rights consulting, Jeanne decided to take a break to focus on her own healing journey. She hopes that by sharing her story, she can help normalize mental health struggles and offer a platform for others to find catharsis and support.   “Everyone heals differently.” Weighing options to medicate for mental illness  Potential red flags when choosing a healthcare provider  Techniques for coping with chronic anxiety and “making friends” with it Reframing self-care as nourishing, not fixing Why meditating doesn't work during periods of severe stress & anxiety   Dr. Jeanne's skincare is my new favorite.

Yvonne Caputo felt compelled to write about her experiences with her father and family. She wrote "Flying with Dad: A Daughter. A Father. And the Hidden Gifts in His Stories from World War II" plus her second book, "Dying With Dad: Tough Talks for Easier Endings." In her work in retirement homes and as a psychotherapist, Yvonne knew that it mattered to have conversations about the end of life, and because she and her dad were able to have those, including working through "The Five Wishes," they gained trust, clarity and connection. fivewishes.org For more information on Best Life Best Death please visit our website at ⁠www.bestlifebestdeath.com⁠ Follow us on our social channels to receive pertinent and helpful resources on death, grieving, and more at: Facebook: ⁠www.facebook.com/bestlifebestdeath⁠ Instagram: ⁠www.instagram.com/bestlifebestdeath⁠

When she was just 18, scientist, industrial designer, animal behaviorist, and autism activist Temple Grandin created one of her most well-known inventions: the hug machine. Inspired by the squeeze chute–a device that holds and soothes cattle before they're handled–Temple designed a device for her and other hypersensitive people who want to experience being held without overstimulation. In this episode, Temple talks about her long, multifaceted career, and how her neurodivergent mind and its gift for identifying patterns and thinking visually has helped her pioneer groundbreaking research. She also explains how all kinds of brains can contribute to creating knowledge, and shares how neurodiversity is a strength across many disciplines. Temple's latest book, “Visual Thinking: The Hidden Gifts of People Who Think in Pictures, Patterns, and Abstractions,” is out now.
