Show Notes: slpnow.com/271In this episode, I break down how I use one book or article to target every goal in a mixed group. Every activity in a literacy-based therapy framework is language-rich, so I do not need a different activity for every student. One activity can work for everyone.I walk through a real example of using WH question cards to target articulation, past tense verbs, and categories in the same session. I also share how I choose texts for different age bands so therapy planning feels simpler and more sustainable.Sign up for a free trial of SLP Now at slpnow.com/pod!

They have a nervous system problem. And you cannot talk yourself into calm. You have to demonstrate safety. Catherine Nikkel is a 20-year yoga and meditation teacher, the creator of the Nothing Much Happens podcast, and one of the most listened-to voices in sleep. She grew up in Flint, Michigan in the 80s and learned as a three-year-old to build a safe world in her mind to fall asleep in. She has spent the past two decades figuring out how to teach that skill to everyone else. This conversation covers incomplete stress cycles, nervous system dysregulation, why lack of sleep causes depression rather than just correlating with it, and why the stories she tells work in under ten seconds for millions of people. Catherine's health takes — in order: Take 1: "Most people don't have a sleep problem. They have a nervous system problem" Catherine explains why the body cannot be reasoned into rest and why demonstrating safety to the nervous system is fundamentally different from trying to think your way to sleep. This reframe changes everything about how you approach a sleepless night. Take 2: "Sleep is not earned. It is a biological requirement and your body will take it whether you want to or not" Catherine challenges the hustle culture scam that treats sleep as optional and explains why sleep works more like breathing than like eating. You cannot bank it, trade it, or skip it without your body eventually forcing the issue. Take 3: "If you think you can't meditate because your mind is loud, you're doing it right" Twenty years of teaching meditation distilled into one take. Catherine reframes the most common reason people quit before they start and explains what is actually supposed to happen when you sit down and close your eyes. Take 4: "Stress cycles get opened and they don't get closed — that is almost universal" Catherine explains what a complete stress cycle actually looks like, why so many people are carrying years of incomplete ones, and why the things that close a stress cycle are exactly the things you would never do if you were actually in danger.

We were invited to help out with book packing for an organization called Books for Taiwan, which was spearheaded by Amy Lin (賴淑娟). In July the Taiwanese Chamber of Commerce in New York gave Amy the Community Spirit Award and we are sharing her inspiring story in this episode. The concept behind Books for Taiwan, is pretty straightforward. They collect children's books and ship them to schools, organizations and businesses in Taiwan.

Books for Taiwan has been around for over 20 years and they have already shipped over 1.3 million books to Taiwan. In this episode you'll learn how you can get involved and help out with this meaningful project.

Ezra-Nehemiah opens on a high note. Yahweh keeps the word he spoke through Jeremiah, Cyrus issues the edict, and the exiles go home. By the last chapter, Nehemiah is walking the city alone, pulling out men's hair and cursing them, and the collective repentances that filled the middle of the book have evaporated. Dr. Gary Edward Schnittjer argues that most of the literature, popular and technical alike, has quietly declined to read that ending as an ending. In this episode, Dr. James Spencer talks with Dr. Schnittjer about his forthcoming commentary on Ezra-Nehemiah in the Baker Commentary on the Old Testament series. They start with the hyphen. Ezra-Nehemiah is one book split across two scrolls for the same practical reason Samuel, Kings, and Chronicles were split, and reading half of an already difficult book makes it nearly unreadable. From there they work through what happens when you let the ending stand: if the exile was supposed to reform the people, it did not, and God will have to keep his word some other way. Along the way, Nehemiah 8 through 10, where the people ask Ezra for the Torah scroll at the Water Gate on an ordinary day, study Scripture together for eleven days, and then sign an oath committing themselves to a standard higher than the one Torah sets. The canonical question of why the Hebrew Bible ends in Chronicles on a note of hope while Ezra-Nehemiah ends in failure. And the mass divorces, which Dr. Schnittjer reads against the grain of the usual explanations. The book never calls these others Gentiles or foreigners. It calls them non-covenantal. The pressure was economic before it was ethnic, and Ezra-Nehemiah keeps the camera on the whole community rather than the individual households. Dr. Gary Edward Schnittjer is distinguished professor of Old Testament for Cairn Theological Seminary at Cairn University. He writes at Carpenter's Student. Get Ezra-Nehemiah (Baker Commentary on the Old Testament) at amazon.com. This is part two of our conversation. In the previous episode we discussed Connected: How Scripture Guides the Study of Scripture, and in the next two episodes we turn to inter-biblical exegesis and Old Testament Use of Old Testament in Parallel Layout.

“If your law school experience was anything like mine, chances are they taught you nothing in law school about the business of how to manage a law firm.” – RJon Robins, author of Profit First for Lawyers Sometimes the right book arrives at the right moment. For estate planning attorney Colleen Robinson, Profit First for Lawyers arrived in the mail just as she was in the midst of looking for solutions. She didn’t know what was missing, only that there must be a better way to run a law firm that would give her the clarity, control, and future she wanted. In this episode, Colleen shares how one unexpected gift became the catalyst for a completely different way of thinking about running a law firm. She didn’t just read the book from cover to cover. She acted on what she learned. Each step created forward momentum, ultimately changing her business model and implementing Profit First. Throughout this process, she was able to significantly increase her firm’s revenue while redefining what profit means for her and her family. One Decision Led to the Next Colleen began by learning the Seven Main Parts of Every Successful Law Firm and writing her first business plan. Working with her CEO helped clarify her vision for a business that aligned with her personal, professional, and financial definition of profit. Along the way, she discovered that running a successful law firm wasn’t simply about practicing law better. It was about intentionally building a better business. Profit Changed More Than the Numbers Implementing Profit First changed more than Colleen’s finances. It changed the way she experiences business ownership. Instead of worrying about unexpected tax bills, she sets those funds aside before they’re due. More importantly, she has redefined profit to include time with her family, flexibility in her schedule, and the Total Owner Benefit her business provides. Now the business she is building reflects the life she wants to live, not the other way around. Colleen’s transformative journey began with a book in the mail and a willingness to learn, the courage to act, and the discipline to keep moving forward one decision at a time. Action Steps Complete an honest assessment of why you started your law firm and define what success looks like for you. Create or revisit your business plan with your long-term personal and business goals in mind. If you’ve been waiting for the “perfect” time to implement Profit First, start small and begin today.

Most authors treat the book launch as the finish line, instead of the starting one. As we celebrate The Miracle Hour landing on the USA Today bestsellers list, this episode breaks down exactly how she's continuing to monetize the book and use it to grow the business (and why a book is one of the only standing assets that keeps paying you back for years: speaking, licensing, corporate contracts, program sales, and more book deals).

Marketing a cross-genre book can be challenging, but usually there's at least some overlap between audiences. Romantic fantasy readers, for example, know exactly what they're getting. But what happens when your book sits between two completely different markets? That's the challenge facing this week's guest, Charles E. Wallace Jr., whose story-driven book has the potential to appeal both to true crime readers and to those looking for practical guidance on protecting elderly parents from financial exploitation. Attempting to target two very different groups at once can dilute your core message, forcing tough decisions about positioning, audience focus, and how to present your book to the world. In today's episode, Charles walks us through what he's learned from navigating that challenge, as we discuss how to identify your primary audience, when to split your marketing versus unify it, and how to avoid getting lost between categories. At the same time, the conversation is driven by the gripping real-life story that led to the book in the first place. As compelling as that story is, it reinforces an important lesson: Even the strongest narrative won't sell itself without a clear strategy behind it. So for authors working on unconventional or hard-to-categorize books, success comes down to clarity, focus, and making intentional marketing decisions from the start. Charles E.

This week's episode is a personal one. It came from a hard week, a lot of physical discomfort, and a moment of asking a simple question. Why don't we talk about this more? Not just the physical challenges after breast cancer, but the internal rules we carry about how we should handle them. In this episode, we talk about "manuals." The invisible rulebooks we all have that shape how we think, feel, and react. These manuals tell us: How we should act How others should act What is acceptable What is not And most of the time, we don't even realize they're there. When life doesn't match those rules, we feel frustration, anger, or sadness. But what if the problem isn't what's happening? What if it's the rule we're holding onto? Listen to learn: How hidden expectations create emotional suffering Why most of our rules were written without our awareness How to recognize when a "manual" is running your reactions What it looks like to question and rewrite those rules How letting go of expectations can change your relationships This episode invites you to pause, get curious, and start noticing the rules you've been living by. Because you get to decide if they still belong in your life. Resources Mentioned: Work with Laura: https://www.thebreastcancerrecoverycoach.com/health Let's Connect!

It always feels like the traditional values are slipping away…Maybe they are. Maybe they aren't.
Dr. Bradley Nelson is a holistic physician, USA Today bestselling author, and one of the world's leading voices in energy healing and root-cause wellness. As founder and CEO of Discover Healing, he created The Emotion Code®, The Body Code™, and The Belief Code®, and has now released The Heart Code, a book focused on dissolving “Heart-Walls” to unlock abundance, healing, and deeper purpose. On this episode we talk about: How Dr. Nelson went from chiropractor and former computer programmer to bestselling author and global teacher. The journey of self‑publishing The Emotion Code and later landing a six‑figure advance when St. Martin's republished it. Why he believes in doing “any show, anywhere” and how roughly 1,700 interviews have fueled book sales and brand growth. How he built Discover Healing's main revenue engine through multi‑level certification in Emotion Code, Body Code, and Belief Code. The launch strategy behind The Heart Code—preorders, bonus gifts, and bulk packages to hit the USA Today list. Top 3 Takeaways One book can be a business, not just a product. Dr. Nelson used his first book as a foundation for courses, certifications, an app, and live events—eventually certifying 15,000+ practitioners in 108 countries. Self‑publishing vs. traditional isn't either/or. He started by self‑publishing to move fast and keep margins, then later partnered with a major publisher for reach and credibility once demand was proven. Relentless visibility compounds. Years of consistent podcast, radio, and media appearances have created a global audience that now supports new book launches like The Heart Code. Notable Quotes “When you self‑publish, you can make money from the very first copy—and you can change the book any time you need to.” “My policy has been to do any show, anywhere, at any time. That's how you build a movement.” “I didn't know what it would look like; I just knew this information had to get out into the world.” Connect with Dr. Bradley Nelson: Website (books, about, speaking): drbradleynelson.com ✖️✖️✖️✖️
