Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 3, 2026 is: recalcitrant • rih-KAL-suh-trunt • adjective Recalcitrant is a formal word typically used to describe someone who stubbornly refuses to obey rules or orders. Recalcitrant can also describe something that is difficult to manage or operate. // The magazine, aimed at parents and caregivers of young children, will include the latest in child development science as well as practical information, like tricks for persuading even the most recalcitrant toddler to cooperate. See the entry > Examples: “One particularly recalcitrant driver … managed to rack up 29 speeding tickets during the 10-school-day span.” — Dave Werner, The Press-Republican (Plattsburgh, New York), 20 May 2026 Did you know? When given an order or command, a recalcitrant person (or animal) digs in their heels. They will not give an inch, so to speak, immovable in their determination to defy the rules. This makes a great deal of sense, etymologically, as recalcitrant traces back to calx, the Latin word for “heel.” (Calx is also responsible for such English words as calcaneus, “the large bone of the human heel,” and—mention this at your next pizza party—calzone.) From calx, Latin users formed first the verb calcitrare (“to kick”) and then recalcitrare (“to kick back”). In Late Latin, recalcitrare was used figuratively to mean “to be stubbornly disobedient,” leading to the English adjective we apply today to stubborn mules both human and asinine.

The Osage Nation’s Daposka Ahnkodapi language immersion school in Pawhuska, Oklahoma announced it is closing one week before the start of the new school year. Tribal leadership closed the school citing dire budgetary problems. Teachers and parents were left scrambling to find a place for the nearly 100 students. For some, Daposka Ahnkodapi was the only school they'd known. We'll speak with parents about their next steps. We'll also speak with Richard Zane Smith, a Wyandot artist and language teacher who has spent years working to revitalize his tribe's language. He has been actively working to bring back traditional songs preserved on wax cylinders dating to the 1910s. Now, he's seeing renewed interest among younger people in his community who want to learn and study the language. We'll discuss Wyandot language revitalization efforts, as well as his thoughts on President Donald Trump's renaming of Lake Ontario as “Lake America”.

In this episode of the Multilingual Montessori Podcast, Gabrielle and Jenna answer a question from a parent raising her son with Portuguese while he attends a Spanish-language preschool. She's concerned that the similarities between Portuguese and Spanish, along with her own occasional mistakes in Portuguese, might lead to confusion or affect her son's Portuguese language development.We talk about mutually intelligible languages, cognates, and language transfer, and why learning similar languages can actually be an advantage for multilingual children. We also discuss how parents can help children notice the differences between languages and develop metalinguistic awareness without worrying about language confusion.Plus, we share practical strategies for increasing minority-language input when local resources are limited. We also discuss the complementarity principle and why multilingual children don't need to know the same words or have identical vocabularies in all of their languages!Along the way, we share some of our own multilingual adventures, including Gabrielle's experience volunteering at the FIFA World Cup in New York and what Jenna has learned from having her phone in German for the past four years. We also discuss the language-related books we're reading, endangered languages, and how television can actually support children's foreign-language vocabulary acquisition!Have a question you'd like us to answer on the podcast? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Submit it here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Things we mention in the episode:Gabrielle's ⁠Parenting Multilingual Children Workshop⁠⁠How to Kill a Language by Sophia Smith Galer⁠Why Save a Language (Sophia Smith Galer interview on WNYC)⁠Language City by Ross PerlinThe Language Archive by Julia ChoIn the United States, Every World Cup Team Is a Home Team (NY Times)German study about children's language acquisition through watching televisionFollow Multilingual Montessori:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Consultations⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support the Podcast⁠⁠⁠⁠

For the leader who has already done the values exercise, felt clear for a week, and gone straight back to building the thing that drains them. A first-grade teacher told Dr John Demartini's parents their son would never read, never communicate effectively, and never amount to much. He dropped out of school, hitchhiked to California at fourteen, and was surfing Hawaii's North Shore by the time he nearly died at seventeen. He has since taught in over 100 countries and written more than 40 books. At eighteen he asked himself how to master a life, and mapped the answer across seven areas. When he later went looking for a way to measure what people actually value, he found the existing academic models too subjective. They described how a person ought to be. So he built his own set of thirteen criteria, and has since run millions of value determinations. In this conversation, Celinne and Dr John Demartini examine why most people cannot name their own values honestly. How delegation preceded his wealth rather than following it. And what happens when someone finally sees their real hierarchy and it doesn't match the business they already built. You'll hear the six-column exercise that took him from doing everything in his own clinic to doing only four things. ON THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Hear why the work that drains you has nothing to do with volume 03:20 Define what mastering a life actually means across seven areas 09:42 Trace the vision that began with a teacher saying he'd never read 16:17 Learn why what people say they value and what their lives demonstrate rarely match 36:31 Catch the seven words that reveal a borrowed value 39:18 Walk through the six-column exercise that freed him from his own business 45:56 Discover how a values hierarchy decides financial destiny 1:03:48 Unpack emotion as a ratio of perceptions 1:15:59 Find out what makes a business congruent with the person running it KEY IDEAS: ✨ Your life is the honest answer: Dr Demartini stopped asking people to describe their values and started reading the evidence. What fills their space, their time, their money, their attention. Most people describe who they think they ought to be, which is why the exercise never holds. ✨ Delegation is what produced the wealth: He read The Time Trap at twenty-seven while doing everything in his own clinic with one assistant. Eighteen months after listing every daily action and reprioritising by productivity and meaning, he had five doctors, twelve staff, and far more net income doing four things. ✨ The imperatives give you away: "I've got to, I have to, I must, I should, I ought to" are the signature of a value injected by someone else. Language is the fastest available diagnostic for whether a priority is genuinely yours. ✨ A business runs on its people's values: Nobody is dedicated to a business. They are dedicated to what they value most, and using the business as a vehicle. Congruence between the role and the person's hierarchy is what makes engagement possible. RESOURCES: Dr. John Demartini is a world-renowned human behavior expert, educator, researcher, and internationally published author. For nearly five decades, he has studied human potential, values, leadership, relationships, psychology, philosophy, and human performance to understand what drives people to act, grow, and create meaningful change. He is the creator of the Demartini Method, a practical system of questions designed to help people dissolve emotional charges. As well as transform limiting perceptions, clarify their highest values, and make more empowered decisions. As the founder of the Demartini Institute, he has presented his work to audiences around the world and worked with entrepreneurs, executives, organizations, and individuals seeking greater clarity, resilience, purpose, and self-mastery. He has shared platforms with leaders including Sir Richard Branson and Steve Wozniak, he has appeared on influential podcasts and media platforms including The Futur with Chris Do, the Jim Kwik Show, Mindvalley, and André Duqum.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 2, 2026 is: dissonant • DISS-uh-nunt • adjective Dissonant typically describes music that is not in harmony, or sounds and notes that clash. In non-music contexts, dissonant describes things that clash by not being in agreement or by not fitting well together. // The guitarist struck a dissonant chord. // The retrospective provided a sometimes dissonant journey through the artist's decades of work. See the entry > Examples: "Their disparate sonic elements form a dissonant but cohesive whole, wisps of trumpet and electronic woodwinds flashing by as quickly as flickering subway car lights." — Sam Goldner, Pitchfork, 23 July 2026 Did you know? At the root of dissonant is the Latin verb sonare. Can you guess what sonare means? Here's a hint: some related words are sonata, supersonic, and resonance. Does it sound to you as if sonare has something to do with sound? To invoke an approving sound in response: ding ding ding. In fact, sonare means "to sound," is related to the Latin noun sonus (meaning "sound"), and is also an ancestor of the English word sound. In musical contexts, dissonant and the related noun dissonance are used to describe a clashing or unresolved musical interval or chord. Consonance, in contrast, refers to a musical interval or chord that produces an impression of agreeableness or resolution.

Quick gut check:If I recorded your self-talk today, would you want to play it back for someone you love?Last week, I shared more of my own imperfect healing journey — and how our earlier experiences can continue shaping the way we think, feel, and relate to the people around us.But sometimes those patterns are hiding somewhere incredibly ordinary:In the words we use every day.The words running quietly through our minds.The things we say when we're frustrated.The stories we tell about ourselves, our relationships, and what's possible for us.Because language doesn't just describe our experience.It can shape it.And the beautiful thing about language is that it's one of the most accessible places to begin creating change.So in this week's episode, I'm giving you a simple exercise to uncover some of the hidden patterns in your own language.You'll free-write for just a few minutes and then come back to what you've written with gentle curiosity — looking at three things: whether your language leans toward yourself or connection, whether you tend toward black-and-white thinking or nuance, and whether your words reflect personal choice or a feeling that you have no choice at all.No judgment. No trying to fix yourself. Just notice.Because sometimes changing the way we experience our lives can begin with something as small as changing the words we use to describe them.Episode Timestamps01:01 — A quick check-in with your inner world01:40 — Why the words you use are such a powerful lever for change03:26 — The simple free-writing exercise05:00 — Lens #1: “I, me, mine” vs. language of connection06:06 — Lens #2: Black-and-white thinking vs. nuance07:24 — Lens #3: “I have to” vs. language of personal power10:44 — How to assess your overall language patterns11:39 — The connection between rumination, anxiety, and depression14:19 — Why noticing these patterns is actually good news15:50 — Your invitation to try the exercise yourselfWhen you do the exercise, don't try to change everything at once.Simply notice where you tend to lean.Then choose one of these three areas and experiment with shifting your language this week.See what happens when “I have to” becomes “I'm choosing to.”When “this is just how it is” becomes a little more curious.When certainty makes room for possibility.Small changes in language can open the door to much bigger changes in how we see ourselves and the world around us.Want to go deeper?Changing our language can be a powerful starting point. But sometimes the words we use are connected to deeper emotional patterns and old protective responses that have been with us for years.That's the deeper work we do inside Untriggerable.We work with the mind, the nervous system, and our relationships to understand what's underneath our triggers and build new ways of responding — not just when life is easy, but in the moments that challenge us most.If you'd like to learn more about Untriggerable and continue this work with us, join us on our Circle platform:Join the Untriggerable community on CircleAnd if you try this week's exercise, I'd love to hear what you discover.What's one phrase you're choosing to shift this week?

What do you do when your partner keeps telling you they love you and want the relationship to work… but you're the only one actually doing anything to make it better? You're the one bringing up what isn't working. You suggest therapy. You initiate the hard conversations. You try to repair after a fight. You read the books, listen to the podcasts, work on yourself and keep giving them another chance. And they say they hear you. They may even agree with you. But then nothing really changes. That's the situation Sarah brings to me in this episode, and it raises a question I hear all the time in my practice: How long are you supposed to keep trying when someone says they want the relationship, but their actions tell a different story? Because love does matter. But love alone doesn't make a relationship work. At some point, your partner has to be willing to help create the relationship they say they want. We talk about how to tell the difference between someone who genuinely wants to grow but is struggling, and someone who has gotten comfortable letting you carry the emotional weight of the relationship. And then there's the harder question: If you already know this isn't enough for you, what are you actually afraid will happen if you leave? For a lot of people, that's where things get really interesting. We stay because we've invested years. Because we're afraid of starting over. Because we hear a clock ticking. Because some part of us believes an unsatisfying relationship is still safer than the possibility of having no relationship at all. In this episode, I talk about: Why “I love you” has to be backed up by behavior How to know whether your partner is actually willing to work on the relationship Why you can't do enough emotional work for two people The role fear plays in keeping us in relationships long after we know something has to change Why a clear boundary or ultimatum isn't necessarily manipulation What to say when you need your partner to understand that things cannot continue as they are How to decide when you've tried enough If you've been carrying your relationship and wondering how much longer you're supposed to keep trying, I want you to hear this: You don't have to decide today whether you're leaving forever. But you do have to stop confusing someone's intention to change with actual change. At some point, you have to pay attention to what they're doing, not just what they keep promising you they're going to do.

And if you want to go even deeper, check out Codependent No More by Melody Beattie, because you deserve a love that shows up, not one that just talks a big game. And if grief or loss is part of your story, come find me on my other podcast, Crying Out Loud. I talk with leading experts, healers and people who have lived through profound loss about what grief does to our brains, bodies, relationships and sense of self, and what actually helps us find our way through it.

Send us a voice noteIn this episode, cohosted by Forrest Inslee and Stephanie Vander Lugt, Julie Brams discusses the profound connection between nature and mental health, emphasizing the importance of re-rooting our minds in the natural world to foster healing and wholeness. The proposition at the heart of this conversation is, that humanity's fundamental separation from nature is at the heart of so many of the mental health struggles prevalent in society today. Julie Brams, has carefully and gracefully sought to make this case in her new book, The Nature Embedded Mind: How the Way We Think Can Heal Our Planet and Ourselves.  Drawing on her own process of discovery as a mental health practitioner, Julie makes a compelling case for a profound shift of thinking needed at this point in history, especially in light of the suffering of this planet brought about by humankind.Links:Julie Brams website: ElementalThe book: The Nature Embedded MindStephanie Vander LugtStephanie's community: Kinship Plot Key  Topics:The concept of the nature embedded mind and its importanceHow Western culture has separated humans from nature and the effectsPractical ways to foster relationship with nature in therapy and daily lifeThe role of language in shaping our relationship with the environmentResistance within the mental health field to ecological approachesThe collective stories that shape our worldview and how to transform themThe importance of playfulness and curiosity in reconnecting with natureThe scientific basis for the interconnectedness of mind, body, and earthKeywords: eco-psychology, nature-based therapy, mental health, relationship with nature, language, healing, wholeness, cultural stories, environmental psychology Find us on our website: Earthkeepers Support the Earthkeepers podcast Check out the Ecological Disciple

Minnesota students may be exploring new questions in school this year about how to ask for mental health support and show up for friends who are struggling. Beginning this fall, the state requires Minnesota schools to provide mental health instruction for students, from fourth grade through senior year. The Minnesota Department of Education and Minnesota's branch of the National Alliance on Mental Illness (NAMI) have co-developed guidance to help schools implement the new requirement. NAMI Minnesota Executive Director Marcus Schmit joined Minnesota Now host Nina Moini to talk about what the new approach to mental health education could look like.

In this episode of the Language on the Move Podcast, Brynn Quick chats with Dr. Nicole Marinaro, a sociolinguist and postdoctoral researcher at the University of Hamburg. Her work explores how language policies shape people's experiences of accessing healthcare and other public services. Dr. Marinaro's research focuses on linguistic justice, examining how communication barriers affect patients who speak a language other than the majority language and how these barriers can lead to unequal access to care. Today she and Brynn discuss her 2025 paper "Operationalising linguistic unease for the evaluation of language policies in healthcare". In this paper, Dr. Marinaro expands on the concept of "linguistic unease" as a practical framework for evaluating whether healthcare language policies truly meet patients' communication needs. Through her research, Dr. Marinaro aims to help policymakers and healthcare organizations create more inclusive systems that ensure everyone can communicate confidently and receive equitable care.

Attachment repair is a skill, not just insight. Swedish clinical psychologist and SecureBase Lab founder Martin Jonsson explores how attachment healing extends beyond individual therapy and into relationships and community. Martin shares how peer support, shared experiences, and practical secure-relating skills can create opportunities for attachment repair, while exploring the roles of spirituality, sexuality, and belonging in building deeper, more secure connections. “Community is about horizontal empathy, not hierarchy.” – Martin Jonsson Attachment Isn't Solo Work: Healing Through Community with Martin Jonsson (310) 02:21 Spirituality and its role in therapy 09:21 Community as a space for attachment repair 11:23 Difference between groups and communities 14:54 Horizontal empathy and attachment in community 19:56 The integration of attachment theory in recovery models 22:26 Peer support and corrective emotional experiences 25:52 Language of attachment and shared understanding 28:27 Accessibility and inclusivity in attachment work 30:44 Sexuality and attachment patterns 34:09 Impact of attachment on intimacy and boundaries 40:44 Working with unconscious shadow aspects in community 45:16 The role of mentalization and affect regulation 49:38 Resources and upcoming workshops About our Guest – Martin Jonsson  Martin Jonsson is a licensed clinical psychologist, educator, and founder of Secure Base Lab, an attachment-informed therapeutic community integrating attachment science, experiential psychotherapy, and relational approaches to support psychological growth and relational wellbeing. For more than twenty years, Martin has worked at the intersection of psychotherapy, education, and transformational learning.

His academic training includes degrees in Clinical Psychology and Sexology, complemented by extensive postgraduate training in attachment-based therapies, including experiential dynamic therapies, as well as supervision training.

Today, Martin combines clinical practice, teaching, writing, and facilitation with the ongoing development of Secure Base Lab. His work is dedicated to bridging rigorous psychological science with the timeless human need for belonging, helping people move beyond understanding themselves toward experiencing—and creating—the kinds of relationships in which lasting change becomes possible.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 1, 2026 is: conscientious • kahn-shee-EN-shus • adjective Conscientious describes someone who is concerned with doing things correctly. It can be used as a synonym for both meticulous and careful. // She has always been a conscientious worker committed to painstaking research. See the entry > Examples: “Earth-friendly, conscientious gardeners learn to slow down and pay attention not only to plants but to the many creatures that share the garden. ... The garden teaches us valuable lessons. It reminds us that balance is achieved not through sorting the natural world into neat categories, but by respecting nature and allowing it to reveal to us its own complicated, interdependent and beautiful gray areas.” — Rita Perwich, The San Diego Union-Tribune, 4 July 2026 Did you know? As Mahatma Gandhi once wrote, “There is a higher court than courts of justice, and that is the court of conscience.” A person who is conscientious makes sure that they are judged well by such a court. This is true for someone who is “governed by their conscience” as the oldest sense of the word is defined—as in “a conscientious leader”—but it is also true for the conscientious person paying close, careful attention to the task at hand. Conscientious came to English from French, centuries after Middle English had adopted conscience from Anglo-French; both ultimately come from the Latin verb scire, meaning “to know.”

Guest: Clarissa CappellettiCompany: WeRoadEpisode Focus: Solo travel, destinations, travel confidence, safety, age, and finding connection on the road In This Episode What happens when someone who has visited 58 countries gives us the real talk on solo travel? We sit down with Clarissa Cappelletti, Regional Manager for English-speaking travel coordinators at WeRoad, to talk about where solo travelers should go, where they might want to wait, and why you shouldn't let fear — or a destination's reputation — decide your next adventure. Clarissa shares how she went from growing up in a tiny Swiss village to living in four countries and traveling the world, why she didn't start solo traveling until her late 20s, and how becoming the only single person in her friend group helped push her into traveling on her own. We Talk About: Growing up in an 87-person Swiss village How Clarissa caught the travel bug during a California road trip with her dad Living in Switzerland, Italy, the United States, and the UK Why London surprised her the most Traveling to 58 countries Why Colombia exceeded her expectations The Lost City Trek Why Nepal is one of her favorite destinations Italy's incredible history The best destinations for active travelers Why South Africa is underrated for adventure travel Switzerland vs. Latin America for travel costs The destination that challenged Clarissa the most: Japan Her favorite countries for food Why she could happily return to Colombia and Nepal Why "hidden gems" don't stay hidden for long How social media is changing tourism Her definition of solo travel: "Discovery" Why solo travel isn't necessarily lonely The importance of human connection while traveling How media can influence perceptions of travel safety Whether you're ever "too old" for solo travel The biggest solo-travel mistake people make Why first-time solo travelers should start small Why the Maldives isn't just for couples How language barriers can affect your first solo trip Why travelers shouldn't automatically write off Latin America Mongolia, Central Asia, Canada and New Zealand on Clarissa's bucket list And, of course… the infamous Jordan canyoning wig story! Clarissa's Travel Picks Unexpected favorites: Colombia & Nepal Best for history: Italy Best for mountain adventures: Nepal & Switzerland Underrated for active travel: South Africa Food favorites: Italy, Mexico, Peru, South Africa & Southeast Asia Places she'd happily revisit: Colombia & Nepal Top wishlist destinations: Central Asia, Mongolia, Canada, New Zealand & Patagonia Solo Travel Takeaways Start small. Your first solo trip doesn't have to be two weeks on another continent. Don't overthink it. There is no single perfect destination. Do your safety research. Know the areas, activities, and situations that require extra awareness. Don't let fear make the decision for you. Language matters. If you're new to solo travel, going somewhere where you can communicate easily may make your first trip less stressful. Don't assume a destination isn't for you. Couples' destination? Family destination? Bachelorette destination? Who cares. Go anyway. And most importantly: JUST TRIP IT. Favorite Quote From Clarissa "Solo travel in one word: discovery." And honestly, we couldn't have said it better. A Question For Our Travel Brats Would you take your first solo trip tomorrow if you knew you couldn't talk yourself out of it? Tell us where you'd go!

Love's Language admin Tue, 09/01/2026 - 12:00am Love has a language all its own. When love is on display, no words can adequately define or describe it.

English is the most widely-used language online. Internet material helps to train AI tools. So where does that leave people whose native language barely features on the web? We find out about a project helping AI to work in more of the world's languages.Also this week: regulating tech might sound about as appealing as a trip to the dentist. But, like your check-up, it is important. With Europe and the United States taking different approaches, we'll ask who gets to set the rules, and what that means for the rest of us. And there's a growing range of technology aimed at older people. We'll look at some of the products out there, and ask how useful they really are.Presenter: Shiona McCallum Producer: Tom Quinn(Photo: A young woman holds a smartphone to her mouth while sitting at a table.

Part 3. We're continuing our discussion of The Trivium today in conversation with Sister Miriam Joseph, Ph.D., who joins us through her writing teaching ministry in "The Trivium: The Liberal Arts of Logic, Grammar, and Rhetoric" originally published in 1937. We're discussing the first section of her second chapter. That chapter is called The Nature and Function of Language. We start our discussion on the top of p. 15 where we left off 25 Feb 2026, and we end bottom of p. 18 today. We'd like to thank Sister Miriam Joseph for writing this and we'd like to thank Paul Dry Books 2002 for making this particular edition available to readers (edited by Marguerite McGlinn). We're doing a fair use and transformative reading, and would encourage you to go out and get yourself a physical copy of this book. Whether used or new, or even a different edition, if you can find it, get the book, a physical copy you can hold in your hand, and follow along with the discussion. The Republican Professor is a pro-Trivium-done-right podcast. The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D.
