Hollywood’s most famous power players are under pressure. As Tyler Perry is hit with a second sexual assault lawsuit, longtime allies including Oprah Winfrey, Meghan Markle, Prince Harry, and even the Obamas have gone strikingly silent. Meanwhile, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz are fueling a new family feud after a Christmas post appeared to snub David and Victoria Beckham — just as Meghan and Harry face fresh chaos with their 11th publicist quitting amid the Kardashian photo drama. Different crises, same message: when controversy hits, even the biggest names retreat.

Feeling "too much" in ND chaos? In this episode of Adulting with Autism, host April celebrates neurodivergent superpowers with Sara Hartley, late-diagnosed ADHD mom of two ND boys, healthcare executive, certified ADHD/neurodiversity coach, and author of 13-book "Purposefully Me" series (affirmation-based learning for kids on neurodiversity/hard topics like anxiety/bullying/executive functioning). From cathartic shower breakdown to writing diverse characters/glossaries/discussion questions, Sara's Align Parenting Method empowers regulation/acceptance. Key insights: Late ADHD diagnosis (25): Post-college boredom/hyperfocus/procrastination; masking in "even keel" (decision fatigue); Lyme/parenting triggered awareness. ND parenting boys: Meltdowns from unprocessed emotions; empathy over anger (hold space, "two truths true"); affirmations at bedtime ("I am kind/smart/lovable/brave/enough/safe"). Align Method (A-L-I-G-N): Awareness (body cues like tight chest), Listen/Label (emotions), Identify triggers (bad day/sensory), Ground (walk/5-4-3-2-1/object focus/water sip), Nurture (connection/choice/grace). Dopamine hits: Healthy (walks/podcasts) vs. addictive (scrolling/shopping); bedtime vulnerability for processing (impressionable state). Burnout/shame: Yelling/internalized "not enough"; reframe as human (Catholic guilt spirals); experiment small (hi to vendor) for authenticity. Books for kids/young adults: 13 titles (ADHD/autism/anxiety/dyslexia/bullying/school drills); build confidence/less alone (recurring characters/conversations). Advice for authors/creatives: No credentials needed—write voice/purpose; find believer (book coach); trial/error builds momentum. For autistic/ADHD young adults/parents, Sara's vibe: "Uniqueness is strength—affirm/align to shine." Free Align Guide at sarahlewishartley.com; Instagram @sarahlewishartley (tips/books).

Joey Hudson fills in for Mike as the show dives into GOP infighting over Trump, media narratives around deporting violent gang members to El Salvador, and CBS pulling a 60 Minutes segment at the last minute. The conversation also tackles nativity scenes under fire in small towns, First Amendment arguments over Christmas displays, and pushback against removing faith from public spaces. Later, the focus shifts to celebrity politics at Turning Point USA, backlash against Trump supporters, and Democrats erupting over redactions in the Epstein files.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Ever wonder why your child seems calm all day but melts down at night? I explain why child's meltdowns begin when the nervous system finally exhales, and share Regulation First Parenting™ strategies to help kids self-regulate. Parenting a child whose emotions swing from calm to chaos can feel overwhelming, especially at night. Understanding why child's meltdowns begin and how to respond with compassion can transform bedtime from a battle into a moment of connection.This episode dives into the triggers behind evening meltdowns and how to use proactive strategies to support emotional regulation.Why does my child meltdown as soon as bedtime arrives?Evening meltdowns aren't about defiance—they're about decompression.After a full day of school, activities, and sensory input, your child's nervous system is depleted. Their brain finally “exhales,” which can lead to:Cortisol spikes that make relaxation difficultRestlessness and avoidance as the body struggles to calmReassurance-seeking behaviors fueled by anxiety or OCDReal-Life ExampleYour child who seemed perfectly calm all day suddenly refuses to get into bed, insisting on checking locks repeatedly. These challenging behaviors are their brain's way of saying, “I'm overwhelmed and need safety.”How can I help my child self-regulate before bedtime?Leading with calm is key. You can't lecture a dysregulated brain—co-regulation comes first.Start 30 minutes early: Dim lights, lower voices, and turn off screens.Introduce a wind-down ritual: Stretching, quiet music, or gentle yoga can cue the brain for sleep.Use humor and gentle touch: A hug or light hand pressure can reinforce safety and connection.

Must-Have Merkins, Milk Meltdowns & Merry MayhemScheana and Kiki close out 2025 with equal parts heartbreak and humor, unpacking the year's biggest pop culture moments — from Kim Kardashian's merkins and Katy Perry's space performance to the Coldplay kiss-cam couple, KPop Demon Hunters' domination, and the tragic events occurring this week with the mass shootings at the Bondi Beach Hanukkah celebration and Brown University, along with the heartbreaking loss of Rob Reiner and his wife Michelle. They also tackle lighter chaos: missing nails, the holiday traditions they're breaking this year, Nick Viall's plane-seat fiasco, and whether lying about Santa will inevitably mess up your kid. Scheana opens up about one of her toughest parenting moments yet before the duo dives into the eeriness of kids having paranormal experiences “before the veil lifts.” A heartfelt, hilarious, and perfectly chaotic wrap-up to an unforgettable year.

Steve sits down with Ivey Gruber, President of the Michigan Talk Network, for a wide-ranging and candid conversation on today's political and cultural flashpoints. They break down recent remarks from a Michigan Democrat that critics say cross the line into violent rhetoric, the growing double standard in how political speech is treated, and Sen. Dick Durbin's comments about prosecuting Republicans if Democrats regain power. The discussion also covers President Trump's proposed “Patriot Games,” the push to Make America Healthy Again, the left's outrage over legislation limiting puberty blockers for children, and even some lighter moments, from Christmas shopping to media firestorms involving Piers Morgan, Candace Owens, and Charlie Kirk. A fast-moving, no-nonsense conversation you won't want to miss.

Hey Friends~  The holidays can be exciting, but for many kids they are overwhelming. Travel, loud gatherings, new routines, and unfamiliar people can push children into meltdown mode, especially when language shuts down under stress. In this episode, we talk about how to use simple toys to prepare kids for upcoming changes, help them calm during holiday chaos, and create a sense of safety when words don't work. If your child struggles with transitions or language delays, or is very young, this episode will help you understand why play communicates when language doesn't, and how to use toys to bring calm, connection, and confidence during the holidays.

Merry Christmas, happy holidays, and welcome to the final episode of Citizen McCain for 2025. Meghan and Miranda close out the year with a chaotic, emotional, and very on-brand holiday spectacular as Meghan prepares to head out on maternity leave and Miranda gears up to keep the show rolling with guest hosts in the new year. Friends of the show Colonel Kurtz and Jessica Reed Krauss join for a deep dive into conservative media chaos, the fallout from Candace Owens' online crusade, Megyn Kelly's viral rant, and why some internet controversies feel huge online but barely register in the real world. The group also breaks down the Vanity Fair interview that set Washington buzzing, questionable political media judgment calls, and the difference between real accountability and click-driven outrage. The episode wraps with Bravo royalty Carlos King, who delivers a no-holds-barred reality TV breakdown. From 'Real Housewives of Salt Lake City' divorces and reunion power rankings to why 'Beverly Hills' is boring right now, Candy Burruss and Todd Tucker's heartbreaking split, and which Housewives are most likely getting the boot next season. The episode wraps up with a Festivus-style airing of grievances from the audience and the hosts, covering everything from bots, brand deals, and political nonsense to coconut water, Costco, and pregnancy photo shoots. Then the conversation turns serious with a thoughtful exchange about antisemitism, allyship, and what it actually means to show up for Jewish communities at home and abroad. It's funny, unfiltered, heartfelt, and very long. A perfect send-off to 2025, with gratitude for the audience, love for the team, and a promise that Citizen McCain is not going anywhere.

Today, I'm pleased to bring on a fellow content creator I met at a recent trip out to the nice new Smith & Wesson facility out in Tennessee. Ben Webb is the owner of the GoldenWebb YouTube channel, which specializes in exactly my kind of firearms tomfoolery (or redneck science). In addition to his rather fun-oriented YouTube channel, Ben is also an active duty law enforcement officer and weapons instructor/armorer based in London, Kentucky. He combines his professional law enforcement experience with his firearm channel, where he tests and reviews guns and gear. This professional background informs his content and expertise, making him a respected figure both in his law enforcement career and his role as a family-friendly firearms YouTuber. Today, we'll be talking all about his process and how he got into doing this right here on TFB's Behind the Gun Podcast. GoldenWebb on YouTube GoldenWebb on Instagram GoldenWebb Reviews Website  

In tonight's episode of What's New with ME, host Ali Mehdaoui breaks down the biggest global headlines with context, clarity, and late-night perspective — without the political yelling.From Mexican lawmakers emotionally breaking down on national TV, to an LA terror plot stopped before tragedy struck, to a Hollywood family tragedy shaking the industry, this episode goes deeper than the headlines.Ali also covers the Michael Walsh murder verdict, the surprising offline meeting between Erika Kirk and Candace Owens, Messi's GOAT tour chaos in India, and the quiet football dominance of Morocco, now making history across every major category as AFCON begins.This is not outrage news.This is context-driven conversation.

Cynthia and Josie sit down for an honest, feel-good conversation about parenting, growth, and figuring it all out as they go. They share stories about big kid emotions, favourite mantras, and lessons from the past year; plus why empathy, reflection, and soaking up time with loved ones matter more than ever. It’s real, relatable, and full of heart. Takeaways Cynthia's son expressed a profound realization about time and relationships. Listening to children during moments of distress can lead to meaningful conversations. Mantras can serve as guiding principles in life. Confusion does not equate to being lost or behind in life. Reflecting on the past year can reveal unexpected accomplishments. Teaching children about empathy and giving is crucial. Conversations about difficult topics can strengthen parent-child relationships. Personal growth often comes from navigating grief and loss. Finding joy in everyday moments is essential for happiness. The importance of self-awareness in managing ambitions and expectations. Questions To Ask Yourself: 1. If this past year was a movie, what was the genre and what was the basic synopsis? 2. What moments in 2025 made me feel most alive? 3. Where did I grow the most? 4. How did I really spend my time and energy? 5. Who shaped this year with me? 6. If I had to name the one thing I’m most proud of this year, what would it be and why? 7. On a scale of 1-10...how would I honestly rate my happiness or sense of contentment this year and what influenced that number most? 8. What surprised me the most this year? 9. As I look toward the year ahead, what would be the highest, wisest use of my talents and attention?

Child meltdowns spike when plans change because your child's brain feels unsafe and the nervous system goes into survival mode. I'll guide you through Regulation First Parenting™ strategies to calm, support, and help your child adapt with confidence.Every parent knows the moment when plans change and your child suddenly spirals into tears, anger, or shutdown. It feels overwhelming, frustrating, and sometimes even personal—but you're not alone.In today's episode, we explore why these meltdowns happen and practical ways to help your child stay regulated and resilient.Why does my child shut down when plans change?It's not defiance—it's anxiety in disguise. Many children struggle with flexibility because their nervous system craves predictability.When plans change, the amygdala—the brain's fear center—takes over, and the prefrontal cortex responsible for logic goes offline.Small changes feel like danger to a dysregulated brain.Stress accumulates silently throughout the day (think schoolwork, transitions, friendships), filling your child's “stress cup.”Meltdowns are the overflow, signaling their brain is overwhelmed.Parent StoryMaria's daughter, Molly, would explode every weekend when plans shifted. By previewing the day and co-regulating, Maria helped Molly feel safe—and those meltdowns stopped.How can I help my child cope with unexpected changes?The key is regulation first, flexibility second. You can't force a child to adapt if their nervous system is in survival mode. Instead:Preview changes in advance—give gentle warnings or visual schedules.Co-regulate through transitions—model calm, name emotions, and breathe together.Practice flexibility in small doses—switch dinner seating or minor routines while your child is calm.Tip: Every time your child navigates a small change successfully, their brain rewires for resilience. Predictability isn't coddling—it's scaffolding their emotional growth.Why do some kids struggle more than others?Nervous system sensitivity plays a big role.Children with neurodivergence, trauma histories, or heightened sensory experiences often feel emotions and changes more intensely. Their brains are wired to survive, not to negotiate logic in the moment.Over- or under-stimulation can trigger emotional dysregulation.Daily stress adds up, making even minor changes feel impossible.Developmental expectations vary by age, from toddlers needing reassurance to teens pushing back verbally.A tween might say, “You ruined everything!” while a teen might retreat with, “I don't care.” Same nervous system reaction—different expression.Get instant tools to soothe your child's stress and prevent meltdowns—grab your Quick CALM now at https://drroseann.com/quickcalm/What mistakes do parents make during meltdowns?It's natural to want to lecture, explain, or impose consequences—but when the brain is in red-zone survival mode, logic doesn't land.Talk less,

If you're a mum in a neuro-sparkly family, you'll know that meltdowns can be incredibly hard — for our children and for us. I've talked before about what helps during a meltdown, but in this video I'm sharing how I try to avoid them before they start.While we can't completely prevent autism meltdowns, there are so many strategies we can put in place to minimise them and help our children feel calmer, more supported, and understood. In this chat, I cover:

This episode of Hidden Killers brings together three troubling, psychologically revealing stories — each offering a unique window into manipulation, identity, and the way families and offenders construct narratives to protect themselves. We begin with Bryan Kohberger's reported self-harm threats inside Idaho Maximum Security Institution. He's allegedly telling staff he'll “harm himself” if they don't move him out of J-Block — a threat strategically worded, attached to conditions, and deployed after earlier complaints didn't get traction. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down the psychology behind conditional threats, escalation patterns, and why institutions must take every claim seriously even when manipulation is suspected. From there, we move into Kohberger's serial-killer outreach — his attempts to connect with high-profile offenders rather than family or supporters. Shavaun helps us understand what this reveals about identity, belonging, status, and the collapse of the image he expected to maintain inside prison. When inmates respond with contempt instead of fascination, the psychological fallout can be profound. Finally, we shift to the Anna Kepner cruise-ship case, where conflicting accounts from adults and teens highlight the distance between family myth and emotional reality. Parents describe harmony; teens describe aggression. Shavaun walks us through why teenagers often perceive danger more clearly than adults, how aggression becomes normalized, and why blended families are especially vulnerable to maintaining a narrative that doesn't match the truth. Across all three segments, one theme emerges: when reality doesn't match the story someone needs to believe, the mind works overtime to bridge the gap — sometimes through manipulation, sometimes through denial, and sometimes through sheer grandiosity. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #AnnaKepner #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonPsychology #FamilyDynamics #SerialOffenders #TonyBrueski #CriminalMindset Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

He's allegedly telling staff he'll “harm himself” if they don't move him out of J-Block — a threat strategically worded, attached to conditions, and deployed after earlier complaints didn't get traction. Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott breaks down the psychology behind conditional threats, escalation patterns, and why institutions must take every claim seriously even when manipulation is suspected. From there, we move into Kohberger's serial-killer outreach — his attempts to connect with high-profile offenders rather than family or supporters. Shavaun helps us understand what this reveals about identity, belonging, status, and the collapse of the image he expected to maintain inside prison. When inmates respond with contempt instead of fascination, the psychological fallout can be profound. Finally, we shift to the Anna Kepner cruise-ship case, where conflicting accounts from adults and teens highlight the distance between family myth and emotional reality. Parents describe harmony; teens describe aggression. Shavaun walks us through why teenagers often perceive danger more clearly than adults, how aggression becomes normalized, and why blended families are especially vulnerable to maintaining a narrative that doesn't match the truth. Across all three segments, one theme emerges: when reality doesn't match the story someone needs to believe, the mind works overtime to bridge the gap — sometimes through manipulation, sometimes through denial, and sometimes through sheer grandiosity. #HiddenKillers #BryanKohberger #AnnaKepner #ShavaunScott #TrueCrimePodcast #PrisonPsychology #FamilyDynamics #SerialOffenders #TonyBrueski #CriminalMindset Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

What actually is a ‘meltdown', and when do big feelings in kids become a problem that families and schools can't ignore? In this episode of Mind the Kids, hosts Dr. Jane Gilmour and Professor Umar Toseeb sit down with Associate Professor Erin Gonzalez from the University of Washington School of Medicine, to unpack meltdowns in real-life, everyday language rather than just research jargon. Drawing on her clinical work with families in crisis, Erin explores what happens in a child's brain and body during a meltdown, why these episodes are so common in neurodivergent children, and how screens, sleep, and anxiety can create a ‘perfect storm' for explosive behaviour. She offers practical, evidence-informed strategies for parents and teachers, including how to respond in the moment, why “doing less” can sometimes de-escalate faster, and how to use meltdowns as opportunities to build emotional literacy instead of shame. The conversation also previews Erin's upcoming ACAMH webinar, ‘Mastering Meltdowns: Managing Big Feelings in Kids', and highlights why emotional competence should be treated as just as fundamental as learning to read. This episode is essential listening for parents, carers, educators, and clinicians supporting children whose emotions sometimes feel bigger than they are.

Holiday Meltdowns: Bad Behavior or Sensory Overload? (Vagus Nerve Secrets) | Ep. 351 Is your child "acting out" and ruining the holiday magic, or are they actually in a state of biological shock? In Episode 351 of the Prime Podcast, Dr. Skip and Dr. Julie Wies tackle the skyrocketing rates of childhood anxiety and stress during the holiday season. Parents often mistake sensory overload for bad behavior. We dive deep into the science of the Vagus Nerve (which is 80% sensory!) and explain why loud relatives, bright lights, and sugary treats can cause a child's nervous system to shut down. Learn why handing an overwhelmed kid an iPad might be the worst thing you can do, and discover practical strategies like "Front-Loading" and "The Fort Method" to help your family survive the holidays without the screaming matches. In This Episode, You Will Learn: The "Bad Behavior" Myth: Why tantrums at parties are often signs of a dysregulated nervous system, not disobedience. Vagus Nerve 101: Understanding why your child's brain gets "energy vampired" by loud crowds. The "Front-Loading" Technique: How to stop anxiety before you leave the house by using photos and clear expectations. The Screen Trap: Why blue light and fast-paced games make meltdowns worse (and what to do instead). Old School Solutions: Why puzzles, blocks, and "heavy work" regulate a child's brain better than any gadget. The "No Agenda" Day: The most valuable gift you can give your family to reset cortisol levels.

When a pupil goes from “fine” to “furious” because you asked them to correct one sentence, it's easy to think they're overreacting. But for many children with ADHD, even small corrections can feel like rejection - triggering intense emotional pain known as Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD).In this episode of School Behaviour Secrets, you'll learn what RSD actually is, why it's so strongly linked with ADHD, and how it shows up in the classroom through explosive moments, sudden shutdowns, perfectionism, or quiet withdrawal.You'll learn how feedback can unintentionally trigger RSD, why some pupils take even gentle corrections to heart, and the practical shifts teachers can make to reduce distress, support emotional regulation, and keep expectations high. We also share two simple strategies you can use this week to prevent blow-ups and help pupils feel safe enough to learn.If you've ever wondered, “Why did they react like that?” - this episode will give you the clarity and tools you need.Important links:Get our FREE SEND Behaviour Handbook: https://beaconschoolsupport.co.uk/send-handbookDownload other FREE behaviour resources for use in school: https://beaconschoolsupport.co.uk/resources

Jon Herold and Chris Paul tear into the chaotic rollout of the alleged January 6 pipe-bomber arrest, dissecting the affidavit, the timeline, the surveillance gaps, and the suspiciously coordinated media narratives surrounding the case. They highlight inconsistencies between the government's claims and the evidence shown, question why key footage and details surfaced only after years of silence, and explore how the story is being shaped to protect institutional credibility rather than reveal truth. From there, Jon and Chris examine the broader information-war landscape, including the media's panicked response to Trump's rising momentum, the collapse of trusted narratives, and a public that increasingly refuses to buy what legacy institutions are selling. With sharp analysis, sarcasm, and a few well-placed rants, the hosts map out how propaganda, selective transparency, and political desperation are converging as the system loses control of the story.

Episode Summary Jon unpacks why kids often look “ungrateful” or overwhelmed during gift-heavy holidays—and why it has nothing to do with entitlement and everything to do with biology, routine disruption, and emotional overload. Through real parent questions, he explores what's happening underneath the behavior, why forced gratitude backfires, and how parents can set expectations, model appreciation, and protect connection without trying to manufacture a perfect holiday moment. Listeners walk away with clarity, self-compassion, and grounded tools for approaching gift-giving in a healthier way. LinksTo support the Podcast, Subscribe on SubstackGet Jon's Top Five Emotional Regulation GamesGet Jon's Book Punishment-Free Parenting Preorder Jon's Children's Book Set My Feelings FreeFollow Whole Parent on Instagram, Tiktok, Facebook, YoutubeSend us a textSupport the show

In this episode, Dr. Tony Ebel breaks down the five key signs that your child's nervous system may be stuck in fight or flight mode. He explains how nervous system dysregulation shows up in the most basic life functions—eating, sleeping, breathing, and moving—and why these "neurological soft signs" often get misdiagnosed as food intolerances, allergies, or behavioral issues. Dr. Tony walks parents through what to look for at every age, from infants struggling to latch and soothe, to older kids dealing with anxiety, meltdowns, and sensory challenges. He also shares his top drug-free strategies for calming a dysregulated nervous system, including the power of getting outside, protecting bedtime routines, and the often-overlooked importance of parent co-regulation.-----Links & Resources:Enter the Podcast Giveaway and Win Free Prizes on Facebook or Instagram-----Key Topics & Timestamps(00:06:00) - The Neurological Soft Signs: Where dysregulation shows up first(00:07:00) - The Core Four: Eating, sleeping, breathing, and moving(00:14:00) - Breathing patterns and the gut-brain-immune connection(00:20:00) - Posture, motor tone, and sensory processing red flags(00:23:00) - Emotional Signs: Anxiety, meltdowns, and behavioral challenges(00:25:00) - How to Test For it: The INSiGHT Scans(00:27:00) - Dr. Tony's top tips for calming a dysregulated nervous system(00:30:00) - The Hidden Solution: Co-regulation starts with you-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

Meghan and Miranda are back from Thanksgiving and diving straight into the deep end. CNN's Scott Jennings joins from the University of Virginia to talk about his new book A Revolution of Common Sense, what Trump 2.0 is really like behind the scenes, and how he survives as a lone conservative voice on CNN's nightly debate show. They also unpack his now-viral on-air clash with Dylan Douglas (yes, the son of Catherine Zeta-Jones and Michael Douglas) and the gossip reports that the Hollywood power couple tried to blacklist CNN afterward. Plus: JD Vance 2028, Cory Booker's wedding strategy theory, and Trump's slipping approval rating. Then Meghan opens up about the National Guard shooting in DC and a massive Somali social-services fraud scandal in Minnesota, and why both have radically shifted her views on immigration and security. She calls for Governor Tim Walz to resign and explains why she refuses to let America “turn into the U.K.” In the back half, it's the debut of “Mile High Meltdown.” The ladies react to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy scolding Americans for wearing pajamas on planes, women getting kicked off flights for booty shorts and crop tops, and passengers bounced over obscene anti-Trump and pro-Trump shirts. Why airports abide by "Vegas Rules,” whether sweatpants can be classy, and why kindness to flight attendants and TSA should be non-negotiable. Plus: Quince and Cozy Earth Cyber Monday obsessions, bougie sheets that ruin you for all other bedding, and Miranda's rule that bare butts and airplane seats should never meet.

CannCon and Ghost break down Trump's surging tariff revenue and what it means for taxes, trade, and the global balance of power. They dig into explosive SNAP fraud data showing thousands of liquor and smoke shops approved for EBT under Biden, exposing how the system has been weaponized and why accountability is nonexistent. The hosts torch the media meltdown over Trump's new “media bias monitor,” react to DOJ overreach and lawmakers' seized phone records, and call out the “seditious six” pushing dangerous messaging to the military.

Parenting a child who goes from calm to chaos in seconds can feel exhausting. You try everything—deep breaths, gentle words, even walking away—and still, the meltdowns come. You're not alone.When kids struggle with big emotions, there's often a hidden root cause inside the body—and minerals play a much bigger role than most parents realize.In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Aaron Hartman to unpack the powerful connection between minerals, mitochondria, and meltdowns—and how nutrition, lifestyle, and nervous system regulation can help your child regain balance and calm.Why does my child melt down when they're “just tired or hungry”?When your child seems to unravel at the smallest thing, it's not bad behavior—it's biology. Mineral imbalances directly affect how their nervous system fires.Low magnesium or zinc deficiency can make the brain more reactive to stress.When blood sugar drops from skipping meals or eating too many processed foods, the body burns through nutrients fast—leading to irritability, anxiety, or panic attacks.A deficient diet full of additives and low in whole foods affects serotonin, dopamine, and other key neurotransmitters.When we calm the brain first and nourish the body, meltdowns start to fade.Takeaway: A balanced diet rich in real food, protein, and calming minerals helps stabilize your child's emotions and energy.Need quick relief while you work on those root causes? Try Quick Calm—my proven method to calm the brain fast so you and your child can reset and start fresh.Could my child's mood swings be linked to mineral deficiencies?Absolutely. Research continues to show how essential minerals affect mental well-being and brain function.Here's what parents need to know:Zinc deficiency is linked with attention deficit disorder (ADD/ADHD), depression, and poor immune function.Magnesium supports relaxation and sleep by calming overactive neurons.B vitamins and vitamin D play a critical role in serotonin production—affecting mood and focus.Too much copper or exposure to heavy metals can worsen anxiety, aggression, and brain fog.HTMA testing (Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis) can reveal these hidden imbalances, helping you target the root cause instead of chasing symptoms.

If your mornings feel like a daily emotional avalanche, lost shoes, floppy limbs, scratchy socks, MELTDOWNS, you're not alone. In this episode, Jon goes back to the original Whole Parent format and answers real listener questions about morning routines, meltdowns, and the brain science behind why kids fall apart at the exact same time every day.Instead of asking “What am I doing wrong?”, we flip the script: What if the problem isn't you… it's the lack of brutal predictability?Jon breaks down how kids' underdeveloped executive function makes mornings uniquely hard—and how a simple, boring, repeatable routine can take the mental load off their brains and yours.In this episode, we cover:Why mornings are so hard for kids' brains How an underdeveloped prefrontal cortex, weak time sense, and limited executive function make “getting out the door” way more complex for kids than it is for adults.The power of “brutally predictable” routines Why turning mornings into the same simple sequence every day (with visual aids, checklists, or songs) actually reduces meltdowns and resistance.How long it should really take to get out the house Jon's 20-minute rule for shoes/coats/backpacks—and why building in buffer time makes you less likely to snap, rush, or bark orders.Connecting before correcting What to do in the first 3–5 minutes after kids wake up, and why a few minutes of cuddle + connection can change the whole morning.When your kid's “routine” includes a meltdown How kids unconsciously bake the meltdown into the pattern—and how to replace that step with connection, play, or a job instead of power struggles.Brain-based hacks that actually feel doable Including:Turning the morning into a game instead of a battleGiving kids simple “jobs” that channel their energyThe “put the shoes to bed” trick to end the Great Shoe Hunt every morningListener questions in this episode:Nancy: “My 6-year-old wakes up slow and my 3-year-old wakes up fiery. No matter how early I start, we're either late or someone is screaming. What am I doing wrong in our morning routine?”Dave: “Every morning falls apart at the exact same spot: shoes and coats. My 4-year-old goes floppy, my toddler zigzags half-dressed, and I feel my patience evaporate. How do I break this pattern without becoming the drill sergeant I swore I'd never be?”Anonymous (aka The Great Shoe Hunt): “Every single morning turns into a shoe hunt. One shoe is in the pantry, the other in the bathtub. Is there a brain hack for kids who cannot keep track of their shoes?”Key Takeaways:Your mornings probably aren't failing because you're a “bad” parent. They're failing because kids' brains can't carry that many steps without structure.A brutally predictable routine + a visual aid (chart, checklist, pictures, or song) can remove 80% of the morning chaos.Build in more time than you think you need so you're not parenting from panic and hurry.Connection first, then routine: those first minutes after wake-up are prime time to fill your child's emotional cup.If your kid's “routine” currently includes a meltdown, your goal is not to shame it away—but to replace that step with play, jobs, or connection.Responsibility (like putting shoes “to bed” at night) isn't punishment—it's how kids build agency, confidence, and resilience.If youSend us a textSupport the show

Jon Herold and Chris Paul unpack a wildly chaotic news week dominated by the political establishment's increasingly desperate attempts to control the narrative. They break down the renewed hysteria around the Epstein files, why ABC is panicking, why Democrats are suddenly scrambling to distance themselves, and how Trump's timing continues to force their hand. The hosts examine Netanyahu's high-risk political maneuvers, Israel's deepening strategic crisis, and the media's contradictory framing around both U.S. foreign policy and the Gaza response. Jon and Chris also tear apart the forced “MAGA is divided” storyline, exposing coordinated influencer psyops, synthetic outrage cycles, and the hall-of-mirrors effect created when media and partisans all react to each other instead of reality. With humor, receipts, and classic Devolution analysis, they map out how the old structure is collapsing under its own contradictions, and why the public is waking up faster than the narrative managers can adapt.

CannCon and Alpha Warrior dive straight into one of the most chaotic 48-hour stretches in recent political memory, breaking down the explosive fallout from Democrat lawmakers urging the military to refuse “illegal” orders—something the guys argue is closer to a call for insubordination than anything Trump has said.

The episode also revisits the growing controversy around the J6 pipe bombs, analyzing newly surfaced footage, the questionable canine sweeps, overwritten surveillance, and the suspicious Capitol Police search patterns that have everyone asking what really happened. Along the way, CannCon and Alpha mix sharp analysis with the usual veteran-style banter, roasting inter-service rivalries, laughing through technical failures, and sharing viewer messages. It's a fast, fiery SITREP filled with hard questions, sharp insights, and zero patience for political games.
