148. Dave Markel: Reflections and Impacts This week, since there's not guest again, I want to take a moment to reflect on the growth and impact of the podcast. I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support from all my listeners, whose commitment has fueled the show's success and exponential growth. Whether long-time listeners or relatively new to the show, your passion and dedication are what have made SASS what it is today. I also want to emphasize the importance of normalizing the conversation around rape and sexual assault. By creating a safe space for survivors to share their stories, SASS works to remove the stigma and silence that too often surrounds sexual violence. This episode highlights the vital role that all of you play in breaking down barriers, supporting healing journeys, and fostering an environment where these difficult topics can be openly discussed without shame or judgment. Finally, I discuss the significance of becoming trauma-informed, not just for professionals, but for everyone. Understanding the effects of trauma—whether in the workplace, at home, or in our communities—is essential in offering empathy and support. As always, I want to encourage you to continue sharing the podcast to help spread awareness, normalize these crucial conversations, and ensure no survivor feels alone.

This week on the podcast, we're diving deep into a topic that comes up all the time in our community: helping our neurodivergent kids make decisions. If you've ever watched your creative, outside-the-box thinker freeze up over choosing a research topic or panic trying to pick a co-op class, you're not alone. Decision-making—something that seems so simple—can sometimes send our brilliant kids into full-on meltdown mode. Why is that? And more importantly, what can we do to support them?   Why Decisions Are So Hard for Neurodivergent Kids As I shared in this week's podcast episode, decision-making isn't just about picking A or B. It relies on executive function skills: planning, working memory, emotional regulation, and flexible thinking. And for gifted and twice-exceptional kids—those who are often used to being good at things without trying—the pressure to “get it right” can be paralyzing. Sometimes just choosing a topic to study or which extracurricular to try feels like a mountain. The fear of making the “wrong” choice, letting someone down, or not liking the outcome can turn a simple decision into a source of overwhelm. Key Takeaways: Scaffold Decisions: Break big choices into smaller, manageable steps. Instead of asking your child to choose a year-long project, offer two or three options, or start with smaller daily decisions to build confidence. Use Visual Supports: Choice boards, flowcharts, and checklists can make decisions less overwhelming. Visual aids reduce mental load and help children organize their thoughts. Limit Choices, Make Them Meaningful: Too many options can lead to paralysis. Offer two or three choices you're comfortable with to support autonomy while minimizing overwhelm. Practice Micro-Decisions: Encourage your child to make small choices throughout the day—like which book to read or what snack to have. These low-pressure decisions build “decision-making muscles.” Normalize and Validate Struggle: Acknowledge that decision-making is hard, especially for neurodivergent kids. Let your child know their feelings are valid and that it's okay to feel overwhelmed. Reflect and Debrief Together: After decisions are made, circle back and discuss what worked and what didn't. Share what you might do differently next time to help your child see that mistakes are opportunities to learn. Co-Regulate Emotions: Model calmness and support when your child feels stuck. Your steady presence can help soothe anxiety and create a safe space for making choices. Use Collaborative Language: Approach decisions as a team with phrases like, “Let's figure this out together.” This relieves pressure and shifts the dynamic from struggle to partnership. Balance Support and Independence: Walk alongside your child as they build these skills. Scaffolding isn't coddling—it's a loving way to help children become confident decision-makers over time. Be Patient—It's a Process: Remember, every small practice and positive experience with decision-making builds lifelong confidence and resilience. Celebrate progress and keep encouraging effort, even when things don't go perfectly..   Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsors:  

What do you think of this episode? Do you have any topics you'd like me to cover?We all loose our cool sometimes. but teenagers can find it particularly challenging to stay calm or calm down when enraged. It takes self-awareness and skill, and a level of brain development that just isn't there for some of them.One listener contacted us for help  with her son who is being goaded by friends at school and getting into trouble for losing his temper. We talk about the brain development stage that makes this so prevalent in teens, and discuss top tips for how she can support him in managing his emotions. www.teenagersuntangled.com EXCELLENT WORKSHEET:https://www.therapistaid.com/worksheets/coping-skills-angerHere are five key tips for handling a teenager with explosive anger:Normalize the emotion: Help your teen understand that anger is a natural signal, not a problem. Explain the brain changes happening during adolescence that can make emotions intense.Create a safe space: Provide a designated area where they can express anger without judgment. This could be a room, a punching bag, or a place to play loud music and release emotions.Develop a trigger awareness strategy: Work together to identify anger triggers. Create a log to track what situations, comments, or environments set off their anger, and develop coping mechanisms.Practice emotional regulation tools: Teach breathing techniques, use a code word (like "Flint") to signal when they're becoming overwhelmed, and help them recognize physical signs of anger building up.Maintain a supportive relationship: Focus on positive reinforcement, listen without trying to immediately fix the problem, and consistently show love and understanding. Avoid punishment during angry outbursts and discuss strategies calmly when they're calm.RESOURCES USED:Yale Medicine. (n.d.). Anger, Irritability and Aggression in Kids.

147. A Repeat of Episode 43: Cashaye Barrera—An Episode Worth Hearing Again!   Sometimes life throws us a curve ball when we least expect it, and it changes the trajectory of the path we were on. That's what happened this week when a guest who was scheduled to record with me had some unexpected events thwart our scheduled appointment and we weren't able to record. So, I made the decision to do something I have yet to do on this podcast, and that is to repeat a past episode. It didn't take me anytime at all to decide which one: you are about to hear Episode 43 again: my adopted daughter, Cashaye Barrera. Cashaye's extreme courage and strength in telling her survivor story is evident and powerful, and I'm honored to be able to have you listen to this again. Please take the time to not only listen to this repeat episode, but also to re-read the notes I wrote for Episode 43: This week, I made a special request to my daughter, Cashaye Barrera, to be a guest with me on this show. I was pretty sure she would agree to do this…and she did. My confidence in her response was due in part to me knowing how passionate she is about getting justice for herself…in every legal, non-violent way possible. And because I know what a tenacious and strong personality she is when she's fighting for herself and for those she loves and cares for…like, her family. But mostly because she is passionate about helping others. Especially others that are suffering in ways she can relate to…like other victims and survivors of rape and sexual assault. Cashaye's sexual assault case wasn't taken seriously when it was reported to law enforcement. Even though she was able to present physical evidence that she was raped, the agency handling the case, along with the prosecutor's office, was much more interested in giving the benefit of the doubt to the suspect than to Cashaye; to believe his untruthful explanation for the existence of his semen on Cashaye's clothing, rather than her report of incestuous and forceful rape. This is, for the most part, across most of this country, sadly, standard operating procedure. Part of this standard, this common response among law enforcement and prosecutors, is the systemic disbelief of victims. And another huge component to the problem is blaming the victim. And while Cashaye is one of the fortunate ones that did not end up being arrested herself for false reporting, she was certainly not believed, and was told by law enforcement that she should listen to and obey the very person that raped her, and that person's wife  who knew the sexual assault was occurring, who were Cashaye's foster parents. Why is this process of disbelief, blaming, shaming, of victims, and the closure of rape and sexual assault cases without the perpetrators of these crimes being so much as confrontationally questioned about the report, let alone thoroughly investigated, so rampant, so systemic? Because…it's easier to not believe reports of sexual assault and rape than it is to believe these reports. It's easier because our human brains don't like to face the malevolence, the discomfort, the taboo, the ugliness, the messiness, the vulgarness…of rape. And because some men and women who investigate rape and sexual assault cases don't like the idea that what they do, sexually, in their own personal sex lives, could very well be construed as rape or sexual assault. It's easier to disbelieve victims; to blame victims; to shame victims, and to get them to recant their report. If you don't believe me, watch the independent film, Victim/Suspect, streaming on Netflix. Then read Cry Rape: The True Story of One Woman's Quest for Justice, by Bill Lueders. Then read Missoula: Rape and the Justice System in a College Town. And read Know My Name, by Chanel Miller Then read Dr. David Lisak's research on The Undetected Rapist. Then watch The Invisible War documentary about the prevalence of rape in the military by Kirby Dick, Amy Ziering, and Tanner King Barklow. Things need to change…big time.

Click here to send us a topic idea or question for Weekend Wisdom.Question: My wife and I adopted a newborn baby almost 3 years ago, and we could not be happier. Now that he is getting a little older, he is talking and starting to understand things. My question is, how can we best normalize his adoption with him? I know it is better for kids to grow up with everyone being open with him and his adoption so it feels like now is a good time to start.  But I am not sure how to that with an almost 3-year-old.  For context, we do not have any contact with the birth family. We send updates and pictures to the agency, but they have not expressed interest in having contact with us. This always seemed like an avenue to start that conversation (you have a birth family and an adoptive family). Without that, I'm not sure how start talking to him about this.  Any help would be greatly appreciated. Resources:Talking with Kids About Adoption (Resource page)Talking with Kids About Birthparents (Suggested Books)Adoptee Voices (Resource page)Support the showPlease leave us a rating or review.

For years, many have blamed the California Environmental Quality Act (CEQA) for the state's housing crisis. Will rolling it back lead to more housing A bestselling book argues blue states are undermining their agenda with red tape. Gov. Newsom answered the demand for a “politics of abundance” with new housing reforms.  Women don't often discuss some of their biggest issues, such as miscarriage, loneliness, lack of intimacy with their partner. The new book “Normalize It” aims to change that. “The Roundup” is a new newspaper celebrating queer cowboy culture, featuring line dance tips, boot picks, poems, and stories from the LGBTQ+ country scene.

You were trained to go hard, stay sharp, and always be ready. But what if the real power move… is doing nothing (Amazon Affiliate)?

 Title: ​W​INNING IS A DECISION “Let us not grow weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up.” — Galatians 6:9 “Every transformation demands a moment of truth—where quitting is an option, but winning is a decision.” – Coach JC Today, I'm hitting you with some real talk about why so many people start strong but never finish - and how YOU can be different. Uninformed Optimism – “This is gonna be amazing!” This is where the journey begins — fired up, excited, full of vision. You're in the gym with a new program. Launching a business. Starting a relationship. And you're thinking, “Let's GOOO!” But here's the truth — you don't know what you don't know. The obstacles are hiding. The price hasn't been revealed. That's why your job is to anchor to PURPOSE, not just passion. Purpose keeps you going when the feelings fade. Passion starts the race… purpose finishes it. Informed Pessimism – “This is harder than I thought…” Now the smoke clears. The hype fades. The soreness sets in. You realize — “This ain't easy.” This is where doubt creeps in and dreams die… unless you know it's part of the process. So let me coach you right now — if you're feeling resistance, good! That means you're in it. It means you're changing. Don't run from the pain — lean into it. Normalize it. Expect it. Push through it. Decide Now – Will You Quit or Win? Most people never get past Stage 2. But YOU… you're not most people. When it gets hard, you don't fold — you fight. When the emotions drop, your commitment rises. Winners don't quit in the dip — they dig deeper in the dip. Winning is not a feeling — it's a DECISION. Wherever you are on your journey, don't stop now. Anchor in your purpose. Normalize the resistance. And DECIDE to finish what you started. Now go win your day, win your week — and keep showing up… Because winning is your birthright… And you were born to WIN ALL DAY! Let's gooo!

On this episode of Stinchfield, we take aim at the Left’s latest rebranding scheme: the push for assisted suicide, now deceptively packaged as the "Medical Aid in Dying Act." Don’t let the sanitized name fool you—this is state-sponsored suicide wrapped in a lab coat. We expose how the radical Left is working overtime to normalize death as a solution to suffering, depression, disability, and even economic hardship. It’s not compassion—they’re fueling a dangerous suicide culture that tells the vulnerable their lives aren’t worth living. From slippery slope policies to a chilling disregard for mental health red flags, we’ll lay out how this agenda quietly devalues human life, one law at a time. Plus, we’ll ask the hard question: why is the government so eager to make it easier to die than to live? This isn’t mercy—it’s moral collapse. Tune in, and don’t miss the truth the mainstream media refuses to tell. The Wellness Company prides itself on pushing back against censorship and tyranny. It's why it has developed a series of prescription drug medical emergency kits including a parasite cleanse that prescribed directly to you and delivered to your door to use incase of an emergency.

Millennials want to Normalize Sex at the Office

In this solo episode of Sexual Assault Survivor Stories (The SASS Podcast), host Dave Markel takes the mic alone to deliver a powerful, reflective, and informative monologue. While there's no guest again this week, the episode is anything but empty. Instead, it offers a thoughtful exploration of recent survivor stories making headlines, along with an in-depth look at survivor-led advocacy, cultural change, and resources for healing. Dave begins by spotlighting three courageous individuals: Alex Cooper, host of Call Her Daddy, who recently spoke out about the harassment she endured as a Division I athlete at Boston University; Tina Johnson, a Roy Moore accuser whose home was destroyed under suspicious circumstances after she came forward; and Nicky Campbell, a UK broadcaster whose disclosure of childhood abuse sparked a wave of similar testimonies from others silenced for decades. Each of these stories reveals the complex layers of trauma—ranging from institutional betrayal to physical triggers—and illustrates how public disclosures can ignite change and connection. The episode also honors the work of prominent survivor-advocates like Amanda Nguyen, founder of , who authored the Sexual Assault Survivors' Rights Act (passed unanimously by Congress in 2016). Nguyen's legislation has inspired over 67 similar laws across the U.S., while her global What Were You Wearing? exhibits continue to dismantle victim-blaming narratives in powerful and public ways. Also highlighted is Chanel Miller, formerly known as “Emily Doe” in the Brock Turner case, whose viral victim impact statement and bestselling memoir, Know My Name, redefined the survivor's voice in modern discourse. This episode closes by offering a collection of vital resources for survivors. If you or someone you know is in need of support, please reach out: ·       – 24/7 hotline: 800-656-HOPE ·       – Support specifically for male survivors ·       – Education and national hotline for harassment survivors ·       – Survivor-led legislative training and advocacy ·       Even without a traditional interview, this episode is filled with substance, reflection, and a deep commitment to the healing process. It's a powerful reminder that survivor stories don't stop when the mic does—and that advocacy can take many forms, including quiet reflection. This one is for every voice that hasn't been heard yet—and every listener who's ready to believe, support, and speak up.

Let's be honest, training can spark short-term results, but if you want long-term recruiting success, you need a team that lives in a growth mindset. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to create a learning culture that fuels consistency, creativity, and long-term momentum. This isn't about more courses or another playbook. It's about shaping a culture where people chase improvement, not because you make them, but because it's who they are. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Why most teams flatline after early wins—and how to fix it with a growth culture. [01:00] Step 1: Model It from the Top – If you're not growing, your team won't either. Share what you're learning and experimenting with. [02:00] Step 2: Build It Into the Rhythm – Weekly skill clinics, role plays, book clubs, and "teach-back" moments create learning momentum. [03:00] Step 3: Celebrate Growth Behaviors – Don't just recognize hires; reward script tweaks, learning reps, and initiative. [04:00] Step 4: Create Psychological Safety – Give your team permission to fail forward. Growth can't happen if fear dominates the room. [05:00] Step 5: Align Systems to Support Growth – Track and coach development behaviors, not just outputs. Reinforce the right things. [06:00] Final Challenge – Audit your culture. Ask: Are we learning? Sharing? Modeling? If not, start with one small rhythm and build from there. Key Takeaways You Set the Growth Ceiling – If you're not learning, neither is your team. Model curiosity, not just execution. Make Learning Normal – Growth won't scale if it's optional. Systematize it with intentional rhythms. Reward Process, Not Just Production – Celebrate the learner, not just the closer. Fail Forward, Together – Safe teams grow faster. Normalize iteration and experimentation. Track Growth Like You Track Results – If it matters, measure it. Progress becomes culture when it's visible. The strongest recruiting teams aren't the ones who have it all figured out—they're the ones who never stop improving. Build a culture where growth isn't just encouraged. It's expected.

Stress is contagious—but so is calm. Which one are you spreading? Your team's performance depends on your answer. Stress Isn't the Problem—Staying Stuck Is We all experience stress, but remaining stuck in stress is where issues arise. Welcome back to Reflect Forward; I'm Kerry Siggins. Today we explore why stress is contagious and how leaders can effectively manage it. As leaders, our emotions significantly influence our teams. When stressed, our teams feel it too. When calm, we foster productivity and creativity. Why Stress is Contagious Mirror neurons, brain cells activated by observing actions or emotions, make stress contagious. A 2014 study in Psychological Science found simply seeing someone stressed can raise cortisol levels, increasing our stress response. Our body language often communicates more powerfully than words. A recent personal experience reminded me how critical managing facial expressions and posture is to maintaining a calm team environment. Why Managing Your Stress Matters Unchecked leader stress leads to: • Fearful, defensive cultures • Burnout and increased turnover • Lost credibility and trust Effective leadership starts with managing your emotional presence. Key Takeaways: Six Tips for Managing Stress 1. Practice Self-Awareness: Regularly identify and address stressors. 2. Breathe Before You Speak: Breathing deeply shifts your mindset from reactive to thoughtful. 3. Normalize, Don't Amplify Stress: Acknowledge stress calmly and communicate solutions. 4. Create Stress Recovery Rituals: Use exercise, journaling, meditation, or quiet walks to recharge. 5. Embrace the Ownership Mindset: Focus on controlling your response, not external circumstances. 6. Keep Perspective: Today's challenges are temporary. Maintain a measured approach. Weekly Action Items • Conduct an energy audit to pinpoint stressors. • Adopt one new stress-management practice immediately. • Lead with resilience, pausing and reflecting before reacting. Calm and chaos are contagious—choose wisely. Self-leadership is foundational to leading others effectively. If you found this helpful, please share, subscribe, and leave a review.

On May 22, veterans and their allies launched a 40-day Fast for Gaza with two core demands: provide humanitarian supplies to Palestinians and stop sending weapons to the illegal state of Israel. A core group of over three dozen fasters are holding a daily vigil in front of the US mission to the United Nations in New York City. They are joined by more than 400 solidarity fasters. Clearing the FOG speaks with two of the fasters and organizers, Kathy Kelly, board president of World Beyond War, and Mike Ferner, former national director of Veterans for Peace, about the fast, their experiences with supporting those who are targeted by wars, and the importance of continuing to oppose the genocide of Palestinians. They encourage people to join the fast however they are able. Get more information and sign up at FOSNA.org/2025gazafast. And, visit PopularResistance.org.

How do you help your child go from knowing they have a food allergy to actually managing it in everyday life? This is the stage when everything starts to shift. Between the ages of 5 and 11, your child is learning how to describe symptoms, speak up at school, and navigate birthday parties. They're also watching you closely and picking up how to talk about food allergies based on how you do it. In this episode of our Food Allergy Stages & Stages Series, pediatric allergist and immunologist Dr. Dave Stukus joins Kortney and Dr. Payel Gupta to talk about how food allergy care changes in the early school years.  What we cover in our episode about managing food allergies in ages 5 to 11: Build awareness early. Teach kids to name their allergens, recognize symptoms, and use simple words to describe how they feel. Model safe behavior. Kids learn by watching you read labels, ask questions, and stay calm. Normalize epinephrine. Practice with a trainer and talk about it openly so it feels familiar, not scary. Prepare for real-life situations. From school to parties, give kids scripts and strategies to feel confident and included. Support emotional wellness. Watch for signs of anxiety and help your child feel empowered, not afraid. Episode 4 in our “Food Allergies: Ages & Stages” series  Across six episodes, we explore how food allergies show up and shift through different phases of life, from introducing solids in infancy to navigating school and adapting in adulthood.

Today we're diving into Pinealon, a bioregulatory peptide with promising effects on brain health, cognition, and aging. We'll cover what it is, how it works, its benefits, origins, potential side effects, and how to stack it with other peptides like Epitalon. What Are Bioregulator Peptides? Let's start with the basics. Bioregulator peptides are short chains of amino acids — usually just 2 to 4 — that act as gene switches. Think of them as precision tools your body uses to fine-tune organ and tissue function at the cellular level. These peptides were originally discovered by Russian researchers in the 1970s and 80s as part of their military and space medicine programs. The goal? To help soldiers and cosmonauts stay biologically resilient in extreme conditions. What is Pinealon? Pinealon is a tripeptide made of three amino acids — L-glutamic acid, L-aspartic acid, and L-arginine — and is a synthetic analog of peptides from the pineal gland, which helps regulate sleep-wake cycles and circadian rhythms. Research suggests it may help regulate gene expression in neurons and protect the brain from oxidative stress, a major factor in aging and neurodegeneration. How Does Pinealon Work? So, how does Pinealon actually work? Pinealon appears to cross the blood-brain barrier and interact with the central nervous system, where it may influence gene expression, support neuronal metabolism, reduce oxidative stress, and promote cellular repair — key functions for protecting the aging brain. Potential Benefits of Pinealon So what can Pinealon do for you?  Improves cognitive function and mental clarity Helps regulate sleep patterns Reduces oxidative stress in brain cells Supports a calm and balanced nervous system May slow age-related brain degeneration Enhances focus and potentially mood regulation Most of the research has been done in animal models and older humans, but the results so far are promising. Where Are The Potential Side Effects of Pinealon? Now that we've covered what Pinealon is and its potential benefits, let's talk safety. While studies so far show a strong safety profile with minimal side effects at low doses, research is still limited outside of Russia and Eastern Europe. So, if you're considering it, medical guidance is strongly recommended and use only trusted vendors or clinicians when sourcing Pinealon. Potential side effects, while rare, might include: Mild headache Temporary fatigue Sleep disturbances (especially if dosed at the wrong time) This brings me to my next point. When it comes to actually getting your hands on Pinealon, it's a bit of a challenge. It is available in oral capsule form, but those are pretty hard to find, and there's not a lot of transparency around who's making them or how well they're absorbed.  There are also a few online peptide sources that offer Pinealon as an injectable, but again, sourcing is tricky.  I've personally yet to find a verified, reputable supplier that I'd feel 100% confident recommending. Until there's better regulation or more mainstream availability, it's one of those compounds where you really need to proceed with caution. Peptide Stacks Okay, so we've explored what Pinealon does on its own — but what about combining it with other peptides?  This is where things get interesting. Peptide stacking is becoming more popular, especially for those looking to optimize cognitive function, longevity, or recovery. So let's talk about how Pinealon might work in synergy with other peptides. One of the most common stacks involves combining Pinealon with another well-known peptide: Epitalon. Epitalon is also derived from the pineal gland and is known for its anti-aging effects. It helps regulate melatonin secretion, lengthens telomeres, and boosts antioxidant defenses. Together, Pinealon and Epitalon form a neuroendocrine-immune stack that may: Enhance longevity Sharpen cognition Normalize sleep Support mood and stress resilience Other possible stacks: Pinealon + Cerebrolysin – for neuroregeneration Pinealon + Semax – for focus and anxiety Pinealon + Thymalin – for immune and systemic anti-aging The most common Pinealon dosing protocol involves injecting 2mg per day for 10 days, followed by a rest period.

Shame and stigma are used to keep us in line and keep us quiet. Some of it is quite obvious, while other parts of the shame and stigma are more subtle and a little harder to recognise. From girlhood, we are taught that we should look and feel a certain way. The expectations of motherhood, our careers, our bodies, whether or not we should choose marriage are all laced with taboos. Today’s guest is Dr Jessica Zucker. Jessica is a clinical psychologist with a PhD who specialises in reproductive health and the author of the award-winning book I HAD A MISCARRIAGE: A Memoir, a Movement. Today we are going to unpack some of the concepts of her second book titled Normalize it: Upending the Silence, Stigma and Shame That Shape Women’s Lives. We speak about: Jessica’s own miscarriage and how women tend to blame themselves when they experience miscarriage Being told to keep pregnancy a secret until 2nd trimester & how it can leave women feeling unsupported The trifecta of silence, shame and stigma and how they all feed each other “At least” comments and how they try to ‘tidy up’ pain Objectification theory Navigating diet culture and health messaging with our kids The language we use when it comes to health and conditions like cancer of ‘beating it,’ ‘be strong’ and ‘fighting’ Perfectionism and it’s link to anxiety The narratives of what we ‘should’ want to be like married and mothers You can get a copy of Dr Jessica Zucker’s new book here: Amazon Find her on Instagram: @ihadamiscarriage And more from her website: drjessicazucker.com You can watch us on Youtube Find us on Instagram Join us on tiktok Or join the Facebook Discussion Group Tell your mum, tell your dad, tell your dog, tell your friend and share the love because WE LOVE LOVE!
