About this Episode Many couples find themselves caught in unproductive loops of reactivity, defensiveness, and miscommunication, often rooted in old patterns and unhealed wounds. If you've ever felt stuck repeating the same arguments, or struggled to respond with empathy instead of reacting on autopilot, you're not alone. Conflict doesn't have to drive you and your partner apart. In fact, the way you handle disagreements might be the very thing that brings you closer together or pushes you further away. In this episode, you'll discover practical strategies for staying close through conflict by learning to respond rather than react. You'll hear about how early family dynamics shape our adult responses, why curiosity can be a game-changer, and why true empathy starts with self-compassion. Through insightful metaphors like comparing relationships to yoga practice or learning to slow down a speeding car—you'll find tools to recognize when you're becoming triggered, regulate your emotions, and open space for meaningful, connected conversations.

What if the most powerful way to help your anxious child isn't to fix them—but to change you? In this episode of the OCD Whisperer podcast, host Kristina Orlova welcomes licensed therapist and anxiety expert Robyn Isman to discuss the SPACE protocol (Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions). Robyn, certified in SPACE, explains how this evidence-based approach helps reduce childhood anxiety by focusing solely on parents' behaviors rather than direct child intervention. She breaks down the SPACE framework, emphasizing how parental accommodations—such as avoiding triggers or providing excessive reassurance—unintentionally reinforce anxiety cycles.   Robyn highlights key steps in SPACE, including educating parents about anxiety as an interpersonal dynamic, identifying accommodations, and creating targeted plans to reduce them. She stresses the importance of "supportive language," which validates a child's fears while expressing confidence in their ability to cope. The conversation also tackles common challenges, such as managing meltdowns during the process and reframing accommodation reduction as an act of love. Robyn shares inspiring success stories and teases her upcoming membership program for parents seeking guidance.   Listeners will gain practical insights into fostering resilience in anxious children by stepping back—with compassion—to let them grow..   The 3 things you'll learn in  today's episode: Why reducing accommodations—not increasing them—is key to helping your anxious child. How to shift from "fixing your kid" to examining your own role in the anxiety cycle. Actionable tools from the SPACE method: mapping accommodations, supportive language, stress testing, and more.   In This Episode [00:00] Introduction and free OCD resources [00:45] Meet Robyn Iseman, SPACE-certified therapist [01:10] What is the SPACE method and how does it work?

Send us a textSurviving trauma isn't evidence of brokenness—it's proof of extraordinary strength. Yet traditional therapy approaches often miss this crucial reality, focusing instead on deficits and pathology while forcing survivors to relive painful experiences without first creating safety.In this powerful conversation, therapist and trauma survivor Oli Doyle joins David and Ruth to challenge conventional therapeutic wisdom that keeps trauma survivors stuck in cycles of shame and self-blame. Together, they explore how true healing begins with recognizing the remarkable resilience that allowed survivors to endure seemingly impossible circumstances.“How the hell are you sitting in front of me still alive, still breathing? How have you done that?” Oli asks his clients, shifting focus away from pathologizing trauma responses toward honoring the ingenuity that enabled survival. This perspective represents a radical departure from approaches that ask, "What's wrong with you?" instead of, “What happened to you and how did you survive it?”The discussion delves into how trauma lives in our bodies, requiring more than verbal processing for healing. Ruth explains, “You can't talk your way out of a body response. You have to use body-based strategies to help the body get through that moment.” This embodied understanding of trauma recognizes that memories live in our tissues, manifesting as behaviors that once served protective functions but may now cause suffering.Beyond individual healing, the conversation challenges the cultural narrative that personal choices determine outcomes regardless of context. As Oli notes, “What we've been taught in colonial cultures is that contexts and structural factors don't matter. If you just make the right choices, you'll have a good life.” This individualistic perspective serves systems of power while obscuring how structural inequities shape trauma and limit options.For mental health professionals, this episode offers a powerful invitation to examine implicit biases and deficit-focused approaches. For survivors, it provides validation that survival itself represents an extraordinary achievement worthy of recognition and respect. And for everyone, it illuminates how honouring survivor strengths rather than focusing on brokenness creates pathways to genuine healing and post-traumatic growth. Now available!

In this episode of the Epigenetics Podcast, we talked with Dr. Joseph Ecker from the Salk Institute about his work on high-resolution genome-wide mapping technologies, specifically how the regulation of gene expression is influenced by DNA methylation, chromatin accessibility, and non-coding RNAs across various cell types and developmental stages. During our conversation, we delve into Dr. Ecker's contributions to the characterization of the genome of Arabidopsis thaliana, a project pivotal in the plant genomics field, where he collaborated on the early sequencing efforts that dramatically outpaced expectations. He highlights the technological advancements that enabled such efficient sequencing and how this foundational work opened new avenues for exploring transcriptional activity. We also discuss Dr. Ecker's pivotal work on the comprehensive DNA methylation map of Arabidopsis, which he developed in collaboration with other researchers. This groundbreaking study established the links between methylation patterns and gene expression, paving the way for further research into how these epigenetic marks influence over gene regulation. He elaborates on the significance of transitioning from traditional methods to more sophisticated techniques, such as RNA-seq, and the lessons learned from sequencing projects that have since been applied to human biology. Dr. Ecker's transition to studying human cells is further explored as he discusses the profiling of DNA methylation in induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs), revealing how epigenetic memory can influence cellular differentiation and development. He underscores the importance of understanding these methylation patterns, particularly as they relate to conditions like Alzheimer's disease and stem cell biology, where he examines potential applications of his findings in medical research. As our conversation progresses, we touch upon Dr. Ecker's ongoing projects that utilize advanced multi-omic techniques to investigate the epigenomes of the human brain, focusing on how DNA methylation and gene expression change with age and in the context of neurodegenerative diseases. He details the collaboration efforts with various consortia aimed at cataloging gene regulatory networks and understanding the complex interactions that take place within the brain throughout different life stages.   References Mozo T, Dewar K, Dunn P, Ecker JR, Fischer S, Kloska S, Lehrach H, Marra M, Martienssen R, Meier-Ewert S, Altmann T.

Here's the hard truth: not all talent is created equal—and not all tools can see what matters.I drop into a moment here.

Chuck Rocha and Mike Madrid break down the shocking Arizona special election - that wasn't so shocking to anyone paying attention. Adelita Grijalva didn't just win — she crushed her competition — despite the hype around viral social media candidates. What does her landslide win say about the myth of the “progressive takeover”?Our hosts also take you deep into Texas, where a mid-decade redistricting power grab could unravel the GOP — and maybe the courts. Chuck drops precinct-level knowledge on Houston and Dallas districts (by literally drawing them out with his fists), while Mike sounds the alarm on how 'opening pandora's box' could backfire spectacularly.Plus: California's own battle lines, DC drama in Ward 8, and a close look at the key 2026 battleground in California's Central Valley.

When you enter the great hall of the Thomas Jefferson building at the Library of Congress in Washington, the first exhibit you will be facing is their Gutenberg Bible. And it is one of the finest Gutenberg bibles around, one of only three surviving pristine copies on vellum. This was the kind of bible that was so expensive to produce, it bankrupted Gutenberg. When the Library of Congress bought it in 1930, they paid $375,000, roughly $7.5m in today's money. But this is not the most expensive piece in the library's collection. That would a work by two Germans, Martin Waldseemüller and Matthias Ringmann. And it is not even a book, but a map. Not a small map, it is 2.3m or 91 inches wide and 1.3m or 50 inches tall. And this map, printed in 1507 claimed to be:A DESCRIPTION OF THE WHOLE WORLD ON BOTHA GLOBE AND A FLAT SURFACE WITH THE INSERTIONOF THOSE LANDS UNKNOWN TO PTOLEMYDISCOVERED BY RECENT MENAnd the authors wrote that the three continents known since antiquity, Europe, Africa and Asis, quote "have in fact now been more widely explored, and a fourth part has been discovered by Amerigo Vespucci (as will be heard in what follows). Since both Asia and Africa received their names from women, I do not see why anyone should rightly prevent this [new part] from being called Amerigen—the land of Amerigo, as it were—or America, after its discoverer, Americus, a man of perceptive character." End quote. This fourth part, they said was “surrounded on all sides by the ocean”. And indeed, in the left lower corner we find a fourth continent, a thin, stretched thing, with few place names and a western shore that hints at the Peruvian bulge, unmistakably, South America and then to north of it a very indistinguishable blob of land.This map, proudly displayed as America's Birth Certificate, is full of the most intriguing mysteries. How did Waldseemüller and Ringmann know that the Americas had a western shore, when it was only in 1513, 6 years later, that a European first glanced the Pacific? How did the name America stick though Amerigo Vespucci had neverled an expedition, not even commanded a ship? But most of all, why was this first map of America drawn not by a Spanish or Portuguese navigator, but by two Germans in the employ of the duke of Lorraine, working in St. Die, which is as far away from the sea as one can get in Western Europe. And then, more generally, what did the Germans have to do with the discoveries, the maps and globes that told the world about them? That is what we will explore in this episode.The music for the show is Flute Sonata in E-flat major, H.545 by Carl Phillip Emmanuel Bach (or some claim it as BWV 1031 Johann Sebastian Bach) performed and arranged by Michel Rondeau under Common Creative Licence 3.0.As always:Homepage with maps, photos, transcripts and blog: www.historyofthegermans.comIf you wish to support the show go to: Support • History of the Germans PodcastFacebook: @HOTGPod Threads: @history_of_the_germans_podcastBluesky: @hotgpod.bsky.socialInstagram:

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan sits down with Mark Donnigan, a seasoned virtual CMO and go-to-market strategist known for helping post-Series A tech companies scale with precision. With a background in video technology, streaming, and category design, Mark brings decades of practical insights to the table on what it takes to move beyond initial traction and build a sustainable growth engine.Together, they explore why so many engineering-led startups struggle to scale their marketing, what founders get wrong about hiring, and why understanding the customer journey is non-negotiable. Mark reveals the critical difference between volume and quality in outreach, the dangers of overvaluing brand-name hires, and how scaling today often means rethinking headcount in favor of better systems and tools.From real-world founder anecdotes to lessons learned from giants like Nvidia, this conversation offers a roadmap for any tech leader looking to evolve from early traction to market dominance—without wasting time or burning cash.TakeawaysMost startup marketing failures stem from brilliant founders not understanding how to build a market, not from flawed tech or product.Founders should remain hands-on in go-to-market strategy far longer than they think—often for years.Your best early-stage salesperson? You, the founder.Misalignment with customer pain is the root cause of ineffective messaging.Many engineering teams don't truly listen to customers or experience the product from their users' point of view.Messaging must evolve with the customer's buying journey; spray-and-pray approaches often backfire.Scaling doesn't always mean hiring—sometimes systems, automation, or refined processes are more effective.Hiring former big-tech talent can backfire; startup success demands scrappy, self-sufficient operators.Know whether your motion is sales-led or product-led to define how marketing supports growth.Talking to just 5–7 ideal customers can provide the clarity needed to realign your strategy.Founders should read Play Bigger—Mark calls it “the Bible of marketing” for tech startups.Tools like AI and agents can enhance output without bloating teams, especially in early scale stages.Chapters00:00 Intro: Why most leaders fail at hiring and marketing02:11 Meet Mark Donnigan: Virtual CMO for post-Series A tech companies03:49 Why founders struggle to scale marketing after traction05:36 When (and if) founders should hand off go-to-market efforts07:50 Diagnosing messaging failures and the role of listening11:12 Customer immersion: The missing link in product-market fit14:32 Slack, productization, and building for yourself15:48 Scaling marketing: What does “scale” even mean?17:18 Systems vs. headcount: Scaling smarter with AI and automation21:24 Messaging cadence vs. volume: Mapping to the buyer's journey24:27 Why marketing funnels fail and journey mapping wins25:48 The mistake of over-indexing on “big company” hires28:50 The inertia myth: Why prestige doesn't equal startup fit31:55 Mark's billboard advice: Get in the field, talk to customers33:27 How many customer convos are “enough” for clarity34:50 Favorite Book: Play Bigger and the power of category design35:57 How to get Mark's free marketing mini-books36:25 Outro: Better leaders build better companiesMark Donnigan's Social Media Links:https://www.linkedin.com/in/markdonnigan/Mark Donnigan's Website:https://growthstage.marketing/
