In this episode of Health Coach Conversations, Cathy Sykora talks with Donna Redman and Cynthia Duffy about the powerful role sensory processing plays in how we learn, behave, create, and connect with the world. Donna shares how her research into art, science, nature, and self-expression led her to explore sensory processing as a foundational part of identity and creativity. Cynthia explains how sensory input affects children, adults, classrooms, parenting, emotional regulation, and even how people interpret their own abilities. Together, they reveal why many behaviors are misunderstood when sensory needs are overlooked, and how awareness can help parents, teachers, health professionals, and individuals respond with more compassion and effectiveness. This conversation highlights the importance of creativity, sensory awareness, and individualized support across every stage of life. In this episode, you'll discover: Why sensory processing is foundational to how children and adults experience the world How creativity and self-expression are connected to identity, health, and emotional well-being The difference between behavioral challenges and sensory-based responses How classroom environments, visual stimulation, movement, and transitions affect learning Why parents and teachers benefit from understanding a child's sensory profile How art, nature, color, music, and tactile activities can support healing and regulation When to seek support from an occupational therapist for sensory processing concerns Memorable Quotes: "We interpret our entire world through the sensory system." "The more you know, the more tools you have to try and the less frustration you have and the kids are responding to the fact that you seem to get it." "Our creativity and self-expression is wired into our biology and our identity and it's not something that could be separate." Bio: Donna Redman is the founder and president of the Secret Genius Project. Her research into the origins of creativity and self-expression revealed irrefutable evidence of our connection between art, science, and nature. Her investigation in multiple fields of study ranging from philosophy to quantum physics, art therapy to mathematics made it clear we are all part of the systems, patterns, and formulas encompassed in the natural world. The Secret Genius Project addresses subjects in health, wealth, relationships, spirituality, creativity and other interests. She collaborates with subject matter experts in various subjects to deliver programs and continuing education online and in person, in the Secret Genius Series.

In this episode, I sit down once again with returning guest Dr. Scott Guerin to discuss his newest book, Awkward Awakening: Finding Your Way Home. In this incredible work, Scott explores the process of spiritual awakening and what it means to remember who and what we truly are beyond ordinary perception. We dive into the awakening journey itself, including the stages people often move through as their worldview begins to shift, expand, and transform, along with the strange, beautiful, and sometimes disorienting nature of stepping into higher understanding.Many listeners may also know Scott from his earlier work on angels and spiritual development, including Looking for Angels: A Guide to Understanding and Connecting with Angels, along with his broader Angel in Training body of work. With a background bridging psychology, spiritual inquiry, and metaphysical exploration, Scott brings a grounded perspective to big questions surrounding consciousness, unseen realms, and the evolution of the soul.In our conversation, we explore the types of entities and intelligences a person may encounter along the awakening path, the subtle dimensions that begin to reveal themselves as consciousness expands, and the experiences that often arise when someone first steps into a greater awareness of reality. We also go into the larger cosmic picture, including galactic consciousness and the benevolent beings that may be assisting humanity during this phase of transformation. Altogether, this is a deep conversation about awakening, contact, and how everything may be woven together in a larger tapestry of evolution.

EPISODE 679 - Eric Nierstedt - Author of the urban fantasy series, the pantheon sagaAbout the authorEric Nierstedt grew up in central New Jersey, raised on a healthy diet of TV, comic books, and way, way too many books. As a child, he constantly daydreamed about his favorite stories, and re-adapting them to accommodate the early characters he was creating (and really, who didn't think that Lord of the Rings could use more characters?). In high school, Eric started the early drafts of what would become The Lightrider Journals, an epic fantasy trilogy. The first draft clocked in a record nine pages (thankfully, high school is four years).After being accepted to Kean University, Eric continued working on Lightrider, eventually expanding the book to well over 300 pages, and crafting a much richer tale of Elemental Knights, otherworldly demons, and the superhero struggle of power and responsibility. Recently, Eric published SILENT PANTHEON, which delves into his love of mythology.In his spare time, Eric has written for various publications, usually on events concerning music, pop culture, and as well as work for COMICSVERSE.com. His work has also been noted by the NJ Wordsmith Competition. He cites the works of Stephen King Neil Gaiman, and Terry Brooks as major influences,. Eric plans to continue mining those influences, and more, as he crafts his next book.https://www.facebook.com/enierstauthorfantasynovels/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Sensory is not an extra layer. It is the ground your child is standing on. In this conversation, occupational therapist Cindy Duffy and Secret Genius Project founder Donna Redman join me to explore behavior through a sensory lens. Donna shares her research into our connection with art, science, and nature, and how we first meet the world through our senses. Cindy explains why she has always viewed behavior as information, not defiance, and how environmental details—buzzing fluorescent lights, rushing schedules, echoes in a room, or even the hum of a refrigerator—can make a child feel regulated or completely overwhelmed. Cindy also walks us through powerful real-life examples: children whose "messy work" and math meltdowns were actually undiagnosed vision issues; adults who spent decades believing they were "stupid" before anyone evaluated their vestibular and visual systems; and a teacher who realized she was sensory sensitive in a classroom full of seekers and changed everything by tending to her own nervous system. We talk about babies arriving with distinct sensory profiles, siblings with very different needs, and parents who feel mismatched with their child until they understand what kind of touch, movement, and energy that child's body is asking for. This episode is a reminder that behavior makes sense, sensory profiles matter, and there is often a "secret genius" waiting to be noticed once we stop blaming willpower and start listening to the body. Key Takeaways Behavior is communication. When kids lash out, avoid, or shut down, their bodies and brains are telling us something important. We are sensory beings first. Our first encounter with the world is through our senses, yet sensory processing is often misunderstood at school and at home. Environment shapes regulation. Light, sound, echoes, transitions, schedules, and background noise all influence how overwhelmed or calm a child feels. Sensory and vision challenges can hide under "behavior." Erasing constantly, pressing too hard with a pencil, rereading lines, or melting down around math may point to sensory or visual strain—not intelligence. Mislabeling can be harmful. When kids are shamed or disciplined for reactions they cannot control, they often internalize the belief that they are the problem. Everyone has a sensory profile. Understanding your child's profile helps you support them; understanding your own helps you show up more calmly. Adults have sensory needs too. When caregivers manage their own nervous systems, the entire dynamic can shift. Strengths matter as much as challenges. A strengths-based plan often opens doors that behavior plans alone cannot. Babies arrive with a sensory story. When sensory needs are honored early, kids do not have to "act out" to get what their bodies need. There is a "secret genius" under the struggle. Once sensory and nervous system needs are understood, children's gifts often become visible. About Donna Redman and Cindy Duffy Donna Redman is the founder and president of The Secret Genius Project. Her research into the origins of creativity and self-expression explores the deep connection between art, science, nature, and the nervous system. Drawing from philosophy, quantum physics, art therapy, and mathematics, Donna curates programs that help families, educators, and professionals better understand human potential. The Secret Genius of Sensory Processing, created with occupational therapist Cindy Duffy, is one of the first offerings in the series. Cindy Duffy is an occupational therapist who has served communities in Northeast Pennsylvania for more than forty years. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Occupational Therapy from Kean University and an Advanced Pediatric Certificate from Misericordia University. Cindy has worked across public education, geriatrics, rehabilitation, and recovery programs, and is widely respected for her intuitive ability to interpret complex sensory profiles. She now maintains a private practice and teaches The Secret Genius of Sensory Processing, helping parents and professionals understand behavior through a sensory and nervous system lens.

Drawing on vivid contemporary accounts, this is a fascinating exploration of how and why the Revolutionary War descended into a brutal existential struggle.This engrossing history of the Revolutionary War conclusively shows that those caught up in it believed they had nothing to lose by fighting without regard for the rules of so-called “civilized warfare.” The clarion call to arms “Liberty or Death” was far more than just rhetoric. At its grimmest level, it was a conflict in which military restraint was more the exception than the rule, a struggle in which combatants believed their very existence was in question. This led to an acceptance of violence against persons and property as preferable to a defeat equated with political, cultural, and even physical extinction. It was war with an expectation and acceptance of ferocity and brutality – anything to avoid defeat.A number of historians have previously concluded that United States' founding struggle reached a level of ferocity few Americans now associate with the movement for independence. However, these studies have described what happened, without looking in detail at why the conflict took such a violent a turn. Written by two esteemed Revolutionary War historians, War Without Mercy does exactly that. Based on years of research and enlivened by little known primary sources, this is an intriguing and fresh look at a period of history we thought we knew.Mark Edward Lender is Professor Emeritus of History at Kean University. He is author or co-author of more than a dozen books including, with James Kirby Martin, the acclaimed A Respectable Army: The Military Origins of the Republic, 1763–1789 (Wiley, 2015) – which for several years was required reading at West Point – and, with Garry Wheeler Stone, the award-winning Fatal Sunday: George Washington, the Monmouth Campaign, and the Politics of Battle (University of Oklahoma Press, 2016).

It's graduation season, which means it's commencement address season. Host Mike Jordan Laskey did a quick Google search for “most common words in graduation speeches,” and the top hit provided this list – which doesn't include prepositions or other super-common words: 1. Life 2. Make 3. People 4. World 5. Yourself 6. Success 7. Generation 8. Human There are certainly exceptions, but the standard commencement address is all about YOU, the graduates, and what YOU will do with YOUR immense gifts to find incredible success or change the world. Here's some stuff you don't typically hear: You're not any more special than anyone else; no achievements are really yours alone; you're going to die someday. In other words, there's not much humility this time of year – not among most graduates and certainly not among those select few invited to give graduates advice. My guest today thinks the world could use a lot more humility. Dr. Christopher Bellitto is a professor of history at Kean University in New Jersey and a frequent media commentator on Catholicism. His latest book from Georgetown University Press is titled “Humility: The Secret History of a Lost Virtue,” which is incredibly readable, fascinating and even fun. It traces the concept of humility through millennia, going back to Socrates in ancient Greece – when humility wasn't always seen as a good thing – up through teachings from Judaism, Islam and Christianity and into the Enlightenment and all the way up into our modern context. Mike asked Chris why he decided to write the book, and what he learned about the history of humility. They also talked a bit about St. Ignatius of Loyola, who had his own complex relationship with humility. Chris is one of my the best conversationalists around and Mike had a lot of fun digging into this underappreciated, under-practiced virtue. Chris' book: https://press.georgetown.edu/Book/Humility More about Chris: https://sites.google.com/a/kean.edu/christopher-m-bellitto-ph-d/ AMDG is a production of the Jesuit Conference of Canada and the United States. www.jesuits.org/ www.beajesuit.org/ twitter.com/jesuitnews facebook.com/Jesuits instagram.com/wearethejesuits youtube.com/societyofjesus www.jesuitmedialab.org/

But believing in them and interacting with them are two very different matters. Our recent international study showed 75 percent believe in angels, and of those, 36 percent indicated they've had an angel experience or encounter.   Whether you are a true believer, a healthy skeptic, or somewhere in between, Looking for Angels: A Guide to Understanding and Connecting with Angels will help you do just that. Written by Dr. Scott Guerin and renowned intuitive Nichole Bigley, this book shares the history of angels throughout religion, science, and psychology. In addition, detailed instructions are provided to learn how to connect with your spirit team.   Through true stories, data and insights, and expert tips, this book is an invaluable tool for anyone interested in learning more about these divine beings, as well as how to connect and communicate with them.   Looking for Angels is the definitive book on who or what angels truly are across all spiritual traditions and on how to call on them, recognize them, and work with them (even if you never thought you could). No other book on angels is as comprehensive or as practical. —Katy Koontz, editor of Unity Magazine      Scott Guerin, PhD   The driving force behind Dr. Scott Guerin's life has been his passion for unraveling the mysteries of God, Universe, and Source, and the intricate tapestry of their relationship with humanity. A distinguished author, educator, and retired healthcare professional, Scott is committed to the exploration of spiritual development. With two master's degrees and a doctorate in human development with a focus in spiritual development, Scott's journey has been a remarkable one that delves into the profound realms of the human spirit. His popular Angel in Training series describes how society has begun to shift from organized religion to spirituality. Through it, Scott shares his own experiences over decades of pursuing a spiritual life, resulting in two books, A Spiritual Journey and 12 Lessons, that document his journey to spiritual freedom. His conclusion is that we are all angels in training— eternal, connected, and capable beyond belief.    Scott's twenty-three-year tenure as an adjunct professor in psychology at Kean University in New Jersey allows him to impart wisdom and knowledge to countless eager minds, helping them foster a deeper understanding of human psychology and spirituality. Scott's insights into spiritual development have been covered in top publications such as the Chicago Tribune, Population Health Management, Th rive Global, U.S.  News and World Report, Real Simple, and many more.   To learn more about Scott or take his free spiritual course, Where Are You In Your Spiritual Journey?, visit angelintraining.org or follow him on Instagram: @scottguerinauthor.

He sees the effects of historic and current systemic social injustices and how social enterprises are one way of addressing them.Jim, who will speak at SuperCrowdBaltimore, cites Lawrence Brown from Morgan State University as the expert on the social disparities between white and Black communities in their city. A map showing neighborhoods in the town by racial composition shows an L-shaped area through the heart of the city that is predominantly white. The east and west sides of the city are primarily Black. Brown calls the areas the “White L” and the “Black Butterfly.”“He has done a brilliant job of overlaying any number of social disparities, be they health, be they economic disparities, be they home ownership,” Jim says. “Every single one of them lays almost perfectly directly over those racial demographics.”Brown is working on documenting the history of redlining in Baltimore, which evidence now shows to have been the origin of the practice enforced by the Federal government preventing banks from lending in predominantly Black neighborhoods. A literal red line defined no-lending communities.Baltimore provides a textbook for defining social injustice. “Baltimore, because of that, is also a textbook for how this can be fixed,” Jim says.Jim has identified four reasons why Baltimore is a great place for social entrepreneurs.* Higher than average percentage of people with graduate degrees.* Baltimore has substantial wealth “despite what people may think from the outside.”* The city is the optimal size for effective networking–big enough to have all the resources and small enough to access them.* The city is home to a variety of social problems, giving innovators plenty to work on.Jim is excited to see people succeed and doesn't begrudge anyone accumulating wealth, but does argue that enough can be enough:I have a presentation that I've been using for years now around the basics of how to fix capitalism through social enterprise. There's a slide that I have in that presentation that talks about mega-yachts. I use a line that's intended as a bit of a joke but also very, very serious. Is there anybody on the planet that really needs a 160-foot mega yacht? I mean, I don't know about you, but I could probably learn to get by with 140 feet. You know, those last 20 feet are just kind of excessive.The program Jim directs at UMB is a graduate certificate in social entrepreneurship. It requires a bachelor's degree to start the program but is only 12 credits rather than the 36 typical of master's programs. You can complete the online program in one year. “One of the reasons we did it that way is because a lot of the folks that are doing good work in social change already have various advanced degrees–master's in social work, sometimes an MBA–but they need specific skills around what's unique about social enterprise,” Jim says. Throughout his career, Jim has leveraged and honed a superpower of opportunity discernment. He can distinguish between a good idea and one that will work as a business.Jim and the folks at UMB have partnered with The Super Crowd, Inc., a public benefit corporation, to host SuperCrowdBaltimore on March 21st at the B&O Rail Museum. The program features a deep roster of both prominent local community builders and crowdfunding experts from across the country. The event allows everyone to learn how to be a social entrepreneur or an investor who supports them. Register now with the discount code SuperCrowd to save 30 percent.AI Episode Summary1. Devin Thorpe introduces his guest, Jim Kucher, from the University of Maryland, Baltimore, highlighting Jim's expertise in social impact and entrepreneurship.2. Jim describes the graduate certificate in social entrepreneurship he directs at the university, explaining that it's a 12-credit, one-year, fully online program designed for individuals with advanced degrees who need specific skills unique to social enterprise.3. The graduate certificate covers innovation in social settings, product/service development considering community needs, and marketing strategies for different stakeholders, including constituents, funders, and product/service buyers.4. Jim emphasizes the importance of understanding how to finance social enterprises, teaching students to blend and time various financing strategies to create sustainable ventures.5. Devin and Jim discuss the SuperCrowdBaltimore event, where Jim's program will be formally introduced, and the benefits of social entrepreneurship in addressing issues with capitalism, such as income inequality and when profit is excessive.6. Jim credits a colleague, Lawrence Brown, for research on racial wealth gaps in Baltimore and explains the adverse effects of historical redlining practices on black communities.7. Acknowledging the social and economic disparities in Baltimore, Jim notes that the city presents an ideal environment for social innovation due to its educated population, quiet wealth, manageable size for building networks, and range of social problems to address.8. Jim's superpower is identifying the practicality of good ideas, knowing which ones can realistically work, and understanding when to walk away from unfeasible ones, using his experience with the impact of 9/11 on capital markets as an example.9. He advises aspiring entrepreneurs to do simple arithmetic, like profit and loss statements and balance sheets and cautions that pursuing entrepreneurship based solely on a passion for an art or craft might lead one away from the actual passion itself.10. Jim provides his email (jkucher@umaryland.edu) and directs the audience to the University of Maryland, Baltimore website for more information on the social entrepreneurship program, mentioning the SuperCrowdBaltimore event and other upcoming events for interested individuals.If you'd like more people to support diverse founders and social entrepreneurs, please share.How to Develop Opportunity Discernment As a SuperpowerThe power of opportunity discernment often manifests, Jim says, in what he chooses not to do rather than what to do.One of the best things about performing that analysis is that you don't get pulled into something that can cause you harm. We launched a technology company in the late 90s–I say we, my wife and I. The idea came out of my work in my MBA studies at the University of Baltimore. We licensed the federal technology. Everything was going quite well. We were getting some early investors. And then somebody flew a plane into the side of a building in lower Manhattan. As you may recall, when 9/11 happened, all the capital markets dried up. Happily, we had the good sense to realize that that was a fatal blow to the business. We got out with our skin mostly intact.The sort of mythical entrepreneur is this person that we think of with this incredible drive and this incredible push that can just sort of literally run through brick walls. I've tried to run through brick walls. The brick wall doesn't move. Your head hurts, but the brick wall doesn't move. Maybe you go around the brick wall; maybe you go over the brick wall; maybe you go under the brick wall. But maybe sometimes you say, “That wall is impenetrable. I'm going home.”Jim says we can all improve this skill with “simple arithmetic.” Balance sheets and income statements can be created in spreadsheets, allowing anyone to understand the viability of a company. In real estate, folks ask, “Does it pencil?” That's an excellent question for social enterprises, too.By following Jim's example and advice, you can develop your opportunity discernment. With practice, you can make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses. You do you!Guest ProfileJim Kucher (he/him):Associate Professor - Social Innovation, University of Maryland, BaltimoreAbout the University of Maryland, Baltimore: The Graduate School at The University of Maryland, Baltimore offers graduate education and training in biomedical, health, and human service sciences. Website: graduate.umaryland.edu/innovation/Biographical Information: Dr. J.
