It's hard to find the words to sum up just how successful an athlete Katie-George Dunlevy is. The numbers, in many ways, tell one part of the cyclist's journey – four Paralympic gold medals for Ireland across three separate Games (having gone to four in total!) with a clutch more Paralympic silver medals, multiple world championships and so much more besides to go with it. It's no exaggeration to say that Katie-George is one of Ireland's greatest-ever athletes – and it's not just on the bike that she's determined to represent either. Just a few weeks ago, Katie-George was announced as the first-ever LGBTQ+ champion for the town of Crawley in the UK – something she says she was ‘honoured' to accept! – and it's amazing to have her on the podcast today. This is a cracking conversation where we chat about all sorts of different elements of her sporting career and personal journey – from becoming comfortable with her own sexuality to achieving her sporting dreams, to winning back-to-back-to-back golds on the grandest stage in sport. We love this chat, and we think you will as well!

What does it really mean to live free—from the inside out? In this final episode of our July series on freedom and independence, Jane Phillips, Certified Medical Intuitive and Emotion Code Practitioner, revisits the core steps we've explored this month: clearing emotional residue, focusing on what you want, and releasing the limiting beliefs that quietly shape your choices. Jane offers a supportive recap and shares a few more practical tools to help you continue the process of energetic clearing—so you can keep growing, healing, and moving forward on your own terms. She also invites you to make your own declaration of independence—from fear, from doubt, and from the patterns that no longer serve you. Let this be the moment you say, “I am no longer bound by my past—I choose clarity and confidence, & embrace the freedom to move forward as the authentic me.   Watch: https://youtu.be/bufAKhZhhTE

In this episode of The Creative Genius Podcast (the finale for Season 4!) Kate sits down with Albert Bramante — talent agent, psychologist, and author — to explore why so many creatives hold themselves back, how to reframe rejection, why fear isn't the enemy, and how to trust yourself enough to rewrite your own script.From Kate: Today I'm bringing you a conversation that feels especially alive and needed right now. I sat down with Albert Bramante — a rare soul who bridges the world of psychology and the performing arts. For over two decades he's walked alongside actors, dancers, and other artists as both a talent agent and a guide through the invisible terrain of mindset, fear, self-doubt, and that sneaky self-sabotage we all bump up against when we dare to put our true selves out in the world.In this conversation, Albert opens up about how rejection isn't really rejection, how fear can be a strange protector, and how staying open to the unknown — in our art, our work, our relationships — can free us to live bigger, truer lives.I hope as you listen you feel a soft invitation to loosen your own grip a little, to see where you might be clinging too tightly to other people's scripts for you — and maybe, just maybe, to let yourself play again.Highlights:Why rejection is rarely personalHow our childhood shapes creative courageWhat fear of success really meansThe power of playing instead of performingReal stories about people pleasing, burnout, and letting go

Have you ever paused and really asked yourself, Who am I?  I don't mean what you do for a living. Or what others expect of you. I mean the real you.

In this message, we're challenged to examine our lives and become more Christ-like. The core of our discussion revolves around Ephesians 4:17-5:2, where Paul urges believers to put off the old self and put on the new. We're reminded that as Christians, we're called to live differently from the world, developing spiritual habits that transform us from the inside out. The sermon emphasizes the importance of identifying our weaknesses and deliberately working to overcome them, not through our own strength, but by relying on the Holy Spirit. We're encouraged to set achievable goals, create accountability, and persist in our spiritual growth journey. The message draws fascinating parallels between physical training and spiritual development, reminding us that just as we practice what we're not good at in sports, we should focus on areas where we struggle spiritually. This practical approach to faith challenges us to actively participate in our transformation, always remembering that it's God's power working through us that brings about lasting change.ChaptersChapter 1: The Call to Live Differently0:00 - 10:00We are called to live differently from the unbelieving world, putting off our old self and embracing our new identity in Christ.Chapter 2: Developing Spiritual Habits10:00 - 20:00We are encouraged to develop good spiritual habits to grow in our faith and become more Christ-like.Chapter 3: Overcoming Negative Behaviors20:00 - 30:00We are instructed to put away negative behaviors such as lying, anger, and bitterness, replacing them with truth, forgiveness, and kindness.Chapter 4: Imitating God's Love30:00 - 40:00We are called to imitate God's love, being kind, compassionate, and forgiving towards others.Keywords#Ephesians#ChristianLiving#NewMan#HolySpirit#Transformation#SpiritualHabits#Forgiveness#Anger#Bitterness#SpeakingTruth#ImitatingGod#Love#Unity#Accountability#Prayer#BibleReading

My guest for this conversation is educator and consent expert Sarah Casper, founder of Comprehensive Consent and author of The Kids and Consent Curriculum. Sarah has taught thousands of children, teens, and adults how to build healthy, respectful, and joyful relationships through a social-emotional lens. Her approach is as thoughtful as it is practical. In this conversation, Sarah and I explored how consent starts early, with the little, everyday interactions that help kids understand their boundaries, express their wants and needs, and learn to respect others wants and needs. We talked about the challenges of balancing safety with autonomy, especially when it comes to things like hygiene, personal space, and social expectations, and why this balance is nuanced when parenting neurodivergent children. Sarah also shared some real-world strategies for introducing consent language at home, navigating pushback, and supporting kids in building self-awareness and self-esteem. If you've ever wondered how to model boundaries while still honoring your child's agency, I know you will find this episode valuable. And hopefully you'll feel inspired to do the activity Sarah shared at the end of the episode with your family because it's a great way to evaluate how choices are being made at home and it will help you understand each other a little better.  About Sarah Casper Sarah Casper is an educator, author of The Kids and Consent Curriculum, and the founder of Comprehensive Consent, a social-emotional learning approach to equipping young people with the knowledge and skills necessary for healthy, respectful, and joyful relationships. Through her in-school workshops, online classes, and social media content, Sarah has helped thousands of kids, adolescents, and adults deepen their consent practices.  Things you'll learn from this episode Consent begins in childhood through small, everyday practices that honor bodily autonomy, encourage agency, and invite mutual respect Teaching consent means offering choices, being honest about our intentions, and recognizing when to pivot based on our child's cues Healthy relationships are rooted in collaboration, not control, and thrive when power dynamics are acknowledged Navigating consent with kids involves balancing their safety with their right to say no, especially in situations involving hygiene, touch, or personal space Supporting a child's self-regulation and practicing our own helps reduce resentment, foster trust, and model respectful boundary-setting Neurodivergent kids may need extra support in understanding and expressing consent, which makes child-led play and behavior-based communication all the more important  Resources mentioned Comprehensive Consent (Sarah's website) The Kids & Consent Curriculum: 25 Whole-Classroom Lessons to Teach Boundaries, Collaboration, and Respect by Sarah Casper Betty Martin's Wheel of Consent Unmasking for Life: The Autistic Person's Guide to Connecting, Loving, and Living Authentically by Dr. Devon Price Dr. Devon Price on the Autistic Person's Guide to Unmasking for Life (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Akilah Richards on Raising Free People (Tilt Parenting Podcast) The Self-Driven Child: The Science and Sense of Giving Your Kids More Control Over Their Lives by Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson 10 to 25: The Science of Motivating Young People: A Groundbreaking Approach to Leading the Next Generation―And Making Your Own Life Easier by Dr. David Yeager Learn more about your ad choices.

It's Mandy Fisher here, your Voiceover actor and creative coach. Today I want to dive into something that's been on my mind a lot: how the neuroscience of decision-making can help us as actors and creative professionals. Because we're not just making choices in auditions or on stage. We're making decisions every single day that shape our careers, relationships, and—let's be real—our self-worth. How the Brain Guides Our Creative Decisions Let's talk brain science for a sec. The prefrontal cortex? It's the part of the brain handling complex thoughts and decisions, like our personal command center. Think of it like that alien in Men in Black—the one sitting up front, pulling the strings. Then there's the hippocampus, which stores memories and helps us imagine what's next. They're constantly in conversation, helping us weigh options and see potential outcomes. Understanding how these parts of the brain work together is powerful. It reminds us that strategic thinking isn't just some abstract idea. It's already woven into the way our brains work, whether we realize it or not. A Simple Challenge to Build Strategic Thinking I want to offer you a challenge. Pick one decision you've been dancing around—something big or small, doesn't matter. Think about the risks, the rewards, and what those future scenarios might look like. Then go ahead and make the decision. After a week, check back in with yourself. How did it feel? What did you learn? This exercise can help you see that you're already more strategic than you give yourself credit for. It's about bringing that awareness to the forefront, so you can start making choices with more clarity and intention. Limiting Beliefs: The Invisible Blocks to Your Success But here's the thing: decision-making isn't just about what's outside of us. It's also about what's going on inside. I'm talking about those limiting beliefs. You know, the ones that say, “I'm not good enough,” or “There's too much competition.” These thoughts show up for so many of us in the acting world. These beliefs often come from past experiences, family dynamics, or even well-meaning but misguided advice. And they can really hold us back if we're not paying attention. Another Challenge: Reframe Those Old Beliefs So here's another challenge. Name one limiting belief that's been lurking in the background. Ask yourself: Is this really true? Where did it come from? Then see if you can reframe it into something more helpful. Like changing “I'm not good at public speaking” to “I can improve my public speaking with practice.” Write it down. Repeat it to yourself. And take one small action that lines up with that new belief—like volunteering for a presentation or sharing your work with a trusted friend. Living Authentically in Your Acting Career At the heart of all of this? It's not just about making smart moves. It's about making choices that feel authentic to you as an actor, as a creative, as a human. When you understand how your brain works, and when you let go of those old beliefs that no longer serve you, you start to make decisions that feel more like you. So that's my invitation: try these challenges. And if you do, I'd love to hear about it. Shoot me an email at mandy@actingbusinessbootcamp.com. I love hearing from actors who are ready to ditch the autopilot and start building careers that actually feel fulfilling. If you know someone else who might need this gentle nudge, pass it along. Let's keep this conversation going. Want to Take This Work Deeper?

Dr. Laura welcomes Mike Horne PhD, author of The People Dividend and an executive and organization development coach, to the show to talk about his book and why he's drawn to making people and organizations better versions of who and what they currently are. Mike began his career in labour management relations, which led him into the world of learning and development. Mike's driving question has always been about how he could live out his humanistic values and help people. As he says “I'm not afraid to be called a helper.”Mike and Dr. Laura discuss organizational culture, remote and hybrid work, and the impact of helping professions. Mike describes his book, The People Dividend, as being about humanistic values as a way of creating engagement. The words he says are the most important are dignity, kindness, and respect. Dr. Laura learns how Mike guides people through growth, the impact his book is having, and how leaders can unlock the potential in people and find the best talent for the job.“I'm working on a very big project right now on Civility in an organization for a very large health care system. And I think it's just another way that we're talking about differences in the workplace. There's all kinds of backlash around diversity, equity and inclusion. It's very difficult for me to understand that, given that we have enough research that tells us that diverse teams understanding diverse customers helps you make money.” Mike Horne, Ph.D.About Mike Horne, Ph.D.:Mike Horne, Ph.

Welcome to today's episode, where we're diving into something we all wrestle with—imperfection. Here's the truth: it's perfectly okay to be imperfect—perfectly imperfect, in fact! There's such freedom in that phrase. While we absolutely aim to show up prepared, polished, and doing our best, life has a way of tossing in surprises, missteps, and messy moments. And guess what? That's not failure—it's just real life. No matter how many planners you buy or how many inspirational quotes you tape to your mirror, something's always just slightly off—and that's okay. So today, let's laugh a little, learn a lot, and celebrate the freedom that comes with embracing the messy middle.

She highlighted how social media often presents a curated, perfect image, which can be misleading and unrealistic. Deborah emphasized that it's okay to be imperfect and that imperfections can tell a story, as seen in the unique characteristics of opals and salt and pepper diamonds. She also shared personal experiences and referenced famous individuals like Marilyn Monroe, who embraced their imperfections.

A seeker of liberation for all beings, they embody presence and compassion in all they do. Abigail is a teacher at Big Sur Park School and a beloved presence in the Esalen lodge.

In this eye-opening episode of A Mental Health Break, Vincent welcomes licensed mental health counselor and founder of Blue Skies Brain Health, Colton Miller. Dedicated to helping younger adults find true fulfillment and purpose, Colton shares his own mental health journey—from the pressure of high school wrestling to witnessing his father's cancer diagnosis—and how it inspired him to live life on his own terms.Together, they unpack the impact of early-life adversity, burnout culture, the myths of the 40-hour workweek, and the emotional traps we often fall into in relationships. Colton also breaks down how small daily habits—like morning walks or spiritual moments—can lead to long-term mental wellness.Whether you're navigating a quarter-life crisis, stuck in people-pleasing patterns, or simply seeking more authenticity in your life, this conversation will leave you with tools and insights to start showing up more fully for yourself.

If you've ever felt the weight of hiding who you are or wondered what it might be like to lead with joy and curiosity, this is a conversation for you. In this episode of Spiritually Hungry Podcast, we continue our discussion about authenticity. From embracing your inner child to understanding how tiny, inauthentic choices lead to lasting pain, this is your invitation to let your soul shine—and maybe even be a little silly along the way. Join us as we explore how living in alignment with your truest self isn't a one-time decision, but a daily practice shaped by your smallest actions.

Today, we're catching up with my friend, and friend of the podcast, Flint Del Sol.Last time Flint was here, his life looked very different than it does today. He was mid-transition, using they/them pronouns, had just started testosterone, and was still teaching. Since then, he's come out, transitioned in public on his social media profiles, survived doxxings, and received bomb threats at the school where he taught.It's been a lot.He chose to leave teaching and move to the desert with his husband for a while, and they've just recently sold their belongings and moved into an airstream with a plan to travel around the country to meet other trans people and gather stories and information to capture the trans experience in the US at this especially challenging and frightening time. And somehow in all of that, Flint also wrote a book called Teach Like an Ally that comes out on July 29, 2025. This book was written for educators who are struggling in environments where they can't openly state their allyship, can't fly rainbow flags, or can't teach or even have queer books in their classrooms. Even if you're not a teacher, this book will help you be a better ally to the queer kids in your life.Every time I talk to Flint, the conversation tends to go off in a million different directions, but it always ends up someplace super nerdy, and someplace deeply emotional. This one is no different. I hope you leave feeling as inspired and ready to do better work as I did.Check out the full episode to hear about:How having survived blowing up his own life before has shaped Flint's relationship to changeHow genuine curiosity and judgment get confused in ourselves and othersWhy it's totally normal to be at reduced capacity right now, and some ideas to help sustain youWhy even in an unfair, unjust world, it's worth continuing to fight for justiceHow deadlines, outlines, and leaning into his unique voice got Flint to the final draftWhy kids need access to an understanding of queer existence that is not fueled by negativity and hateHow making art is an essential part of how Flint processes events and feelingsFind out more about Flint Del Sol:Instagram: @justflintisfineTikTok: @justflintisfineTeach Like an Ally: An Educator's Guide to Nurturing LGBTQ+ StudentsFind out more about Mackenzie Dunham:Wildheartsociety.orgwildheartsociety.org/downloadsWild Heart Society on FacebookWild Heart Society on InstagramResources:Register for CampDonate to the Queer Community NetworkWild Heart Society MerchSeason 04 Ep 03: Fear vs. Curiosity: Being Alive and Trans with Flint, Just Flint Part 1Season 04 Ep 04: Fear vs. Curiosity: Being Alive and Trans with Flint, Just Flint Part 2"Untitled" (Portrait of Ross in L.A.), Félix González-TorresThe Smithsonian's queer erasure of an AIDS artwork should alarm us allGood Bones, Maggie Smith

Following Secretary of Health and Human Services Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s widely publicized and false claims about autism, writer Jodie Hare joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and V.V Ganeshananthan to talk about the politics of neurodiversity and the importance of autistic communities. Hare, who was diagnosed as autistic in adulthood, explains how the pathologization of the autistic population is historically connected to industrialization and capitalism. She also discusses the discriminatory and criminal history of searching for a “cure” for autism through a series of cruel methods, which have all failed. She challenges the idea that there are normal and abnormal ways of living, and reads from her book, Autism Is Not a Disease: The Politics of Neurodiversity.  To hear the full episode, subscribe through iTunes, Google Play, Stitcher, Spotify, or your favorite podcast app (include the forward slashes when searching).

​In this special 9-year anniversary episode, I'm doing things a little differently. Instead of a guest interview, I'm doing a solocast in which I share nine shifts I've noticed in the parenting paradigm for those of us raising neurodivergent kids over the past almost decade since I first founded Tilt. Some of the things I explore in this episode include the evolution of language within the neurodiversity movement, the increased recognition of dual diagnoses like Autistic ADHD and new identifications such as PDA, how concepts like Polyvagal theory and co-reguation have profoundly changed the ways differently wired children are understood, the importance of centering neurodivergent voices, and much more. * I've put together a special anniversary playlist of the podcast episodes I reference in this episode over on Spotify. To listen to that, click here.*   About Debbie Debbie Reber, MA is a parenting activist, bestselling author, speaker, and the CEO and founder of Tilt Parenting, a resource, top-performing podcast, consultancy, and community with a focus on shifting the paradigm for parents raising and embracing neurodivergent children.

Are you living to survive or are you living to thrive? The more attached we are to our identities, beliefs, roles, possessions, stories, etc., the more we're throttled into survival mode. Freeing ourselves to thrive, then, is a matter of lovingly letting go of and loosening our grip on the ego's most engrained attachments.

I'm excited to welcome Dr. Devon Price back to the show to talk about unmasking and self-acceptance for autistic individuals. You may know about Devon's book Unmasking Autism, and if you haven't I highly encourage you to go back and listen to our conversation about that book on the show – I'll have a link in the show notes or you can find it at tiltparenting.com/session292. But today, we are discussing Devon's brand new book Unmasking for Life: The Autistic Person's Guide to Connecting, Loving, and Living Authentically, which explores what it truly means to embrace one's identity in a world that still struggles with accessibility and inclusion. I think it's such an important book for parents of autistic children to read, as it shares insights into what our kids ultimately need to grow up as people who can advocate for their needs and invent new ways of living, loving, and being that work with their disability rather than against it. In this conversation, we discussed the journey of self-acceptance for autistic individuals and the cultural shifts happening around neurodivergence. Devon shared insights on how parents can support their children in embracing their authentic selves while navigating a world that often prioritizes conformity. And we also talked about the impact of generational trauma on family dynamics and why redefining success beyond societal norms is crucial for long-term well-being, and much much more. There are more adults discovering their own neurodivergence through parenting their own neurodivergent child, and I think Devon's book and everything he shared in this conversation can help anyone who is trying to live more authentically with their autism AND any parent who is raising an autistic child that wants to consider what life looks like for their child at various stages of life. This is a great one. Have a listen and please share this episode in your communities.   About Dr. Devon Price Devon Price, PhD, is a social psychologist, professor, author, and proud Autistic person.

He lives in Chicago, where he serves as an assistant professor at Loyola University Chicago's School of Continuing and Professional Studies.   Things you'll learn from this episode Why self-acceptance is an ongoing, internal process that can be especially challenging for neurodivergent individuals How despite progress, the world remains largely inaccessible to disabled people, making advocacy and practical life planning essential Why friendship and love are common struggles for autistic adults and why support, self-awareness, and empowerment rather than forced conformity is critical Where we are now — cultural awareness of neurodivergence is growing yet parents still face pressure to make their children fit societal expectations Why the key to a fulfilling life as an autistic adult means questioning societal norms, addressing generational trauma, and embracing authentic self-expression   Resources mentioned Unmasking for Life: The Autistic Person's Guide to Connecting, Loving, and Living Authentically by Dr. Devon Price Devon Price on Substack Devon Price on Medium Unmasking Autism: Discovering the New Faces of Neurodiversity by Devon Price, PhD Laziness Does Not Exist by Devon Price, PhD Devon Price on Instagram Autistic Self-Advocacy Network (ASAN) Sarah Casper and Comprehensive Consent The World of Estranged Parents Forums (IssenDai)   Learn more about your ad choices.

We're thrilled to welcome Matt Dawson, an extreme adventure athlete, multiple world record holder, and founder of Dawson's Peak Foundation. Matt's journey is nothing short of extraordinary—he's summited the highest peaks on every continent, skied to the South Pole, rowed across the Atlantic Ocean, and even trekked solo across the Mojave Desert. But what makes his story truly powerful isn't just his physical feats—it's the personal transformation that came with them. After struggling with mental health challenges and feeling unfulfilled despite a successful career, Matt set out on a journey of radical reinvention. His new book, Strength in Surrender, is a gripping account of what it means to push past fear, surrender to life's toughest moments, and find strength in the process. In today's conversation, we dive deep into: ✅ The mindset shifts that helped Matt overcome darkness and isolation ✅ How extreme adventure helped him discover his true purpose ✅ The lessons we can all learn about surrender, self-worth, and resilience ✅ Why solitude and discomfort can be the greatest teachers ✅ How to shift your perspective on suffering and use it as a tool for personal growth This episode is packed with wisdom, inspiration, and actionable takeaways for anyone looking to live with more purpose, push past fear, and truly earn, give, and live their life to the fullest.
