Fear of the unfamiliar is a powerful force. And when it comes to autism, we don't only have a knowledge problem, we have a courage problem. We've all seen or experienced the harm that comes with labels, bullying, and social exclusion. But reflexively protecting ourselves keeps us locked in a cycle of ignoring the need for real education beyond tropes or inspiration porn and keeps us from normalizing the varied needs and supports for autistics instead of perpetuating these supports as burdens or flaws.So, how can we, as leaders, challenge ourselves to create a world where everyone is welcome—even those who don't fit the mold? We invite autistic voices to the table and platform them in the spaces we live, work, and lead. And we face our fears and discomforts, without getting bogged down with perfectionism and focusing on simply doing the next right thing.When our director of Health and Human Services is using his position to spread narratives about autistic people that are not only inaccurate, but dangerous, we have to embrace and speak up for inclusion. Inclusion isn't always easy or efficient, but it makes us more prosperous as a community, and courage grows becomes a contagion.Today's conversation will help you consider how we can move past toxic, dehumanizing views about autistic people and start leading with more compassion and understanding.Eric Garcia is the senior Washington correspondent for The Independent who authors its Inside Washington newsletter. He is also a columnist for MSNBC and the author of We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism Conversation. He previously worked at The Washington Post, The Hill, Roll Call, National Journal, and MarketWatch.Meg Raby is an autistic female, children's author of the My Brother Otto series, Speech Language Pathologist, writer for Scary Mommy and full time employee of the nation's leading nonprofit in sensory inclusion, KultureCity. At any given moment, Meg is thinking about how to better love on the humans around her and how to create positive change without causing division.Content note: Brief, non-descriptive mentions of suicideListen to the full episode to hear:How the anti-vaccine narrative around autism pulls resources from the actual work of improving outcomes for autistic peopleHow our relational history can intersect with shame and perfectionism to make us fear a neurodivergent diagnosisHow a deficits-based approach limits our ability to envision what a happy, fulfilling life looks like for autistic peopleHow validating what's often underneath fears about autism can more effectively start conversations that change mindsWhy making spaces neurodivergent affirming is ongoing work, not a checklistLearn more about Eric Garcia:WebsiteTwitter: @EricMGarciaInstagram: @EricMGarcia14We're Not Broken: Changing the Autism ConversationLearn more about Meg Raby Klinghoffer:KultureCityMeg's Work at Scary MommyInstagram: @author.meg.rabyThe My Brother Otto SeriesLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:Maintenance Phase: RFK Jr. and The Rise of the Anti-Vaxx MovementMaintenance Phase: RFK Jr. and The Mainstreaming Of The Anti-Vaxx MovementScary Mommy: My Aging Parents Shocked Me By Walking Away From Our Relationship

Distant.  Divided.  Dysfunctional.  Devour.  Devastation.  Honor is due. Love is the greatest commandment. Forgiveness is a given.  Trust can be eroded or earned. Proverbs 25:28 Like a city whose walls are broken through is a person who lacks self-control. Boundaries are beneficial. Boundaries help prevent the bad, and promote the good.  Two types of people you don't want to become in regards to boundaries: 1. Those whose walls are broken. 2. Those who build walls with no gates.  Two reasons you need boundaries to prevent the bad: 1. Your Heart Jeremiah 17:9a The heart is deceitful above all things 2. The Foolishness of People  Proverbs 10:23 A fool finds pleasure in wicked schemes, but a person of understanding delights in wisdom. Proverbs 13:16 All who are prudent act with knowledge, but fools expose their folly. Proverbs 14:8 The wisdom of the prudent is to give thought to their ways, but the folly of fools is deception. Proverbs 18:2 Fools find no pleasure in understanding but delight in airing their own opinions. Proverbs 28:26  Those who trust in themselves are fools, but those who walk in wisdom are kept safe.   Two reasons you need boundaries to promote the good: 1. Your Healing James 5:16 Therefore confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective. 2. The Wisdom of People   How should I set boundaries in relationships?   Ask yourself these questions to help you set boundaries: Identity - Who am I?   Responsibility - What am I responsible for?   Specificity

An explosive conversation with Russian boxing legend Victor Oganov on navigating politics, societal pressures, and staying true to oneself. 1×0:00-1:28:16Audio playback is not supported on your browser. Please upgrade. How does one navigate a world divided by power, ideology, and culture? In this fantastic episode of the Rational Grounds Podcast, I sit down with Russian boxing legend Victor Oganov to explore the battlefields outside the ring. We dive deep into the contrasts between Russia and the West, shedding light on Vladimir Putin's enigmatic leadership and the challenges of global geopolitics. Victor offers rare insights into life under sanctions, the resilience of the Russian people, and the cultural dynamics that shape their unwavering loyalty. We also discuss Australia's social fabric, examining issues of racism, assimilation, and the immigrant experience through Victor's sharp lens. Throughout this conversation, we tackle hard-hitting questions: What drives societal decay in modern democracies? How does religion evolve as a cultural cornerstone amidst growing secularism? Why do certain governments, whether in Russia, the West, or elsewhere, aim to suppress individual freedom in favour of compliance? This episode isn't just about politics—it's about the human spirit, identity, and the power dynamics that define our world. Whether you're fascinated by geopolitics, boxing, or stories of resilience, this discussion with Victor Oganov will leave you questioning the narratives you've been told.

In the Gospel of Luke, Joseph and a very pregnant Mary travel to Bethlehem because Caesar Augustus has ordered a census of the entire Roman Empire. But does Jesus's birth story in Luke align with what we know about censuses in the ancient world? How were people counted? Who conducted these censuses? And did people really need to travel back to their ancestral homes to register with Rome?

Ever wonder what truly makes a great leadership team tick? Kristen shares insights from her recent team coaching certification program and breaks down the research-backed conditions that create outstanding teams. Drawing from Ruth Wageman and Richard Hackman's work on senior leadership teams, Mike and Kristen explore how the setup of a team accounts for 60% of its eventual success - far more than what happens once the team is already working together. Through analogies to orchestras and kitchens, they unpack what makes teams truly interdependent and how leaders can create the right conditions for their teams to thrive.Highlights:The definition of a real team and why reporting structures alone don't make a teamThe four types of teams: informational, consultative, coordinating, and decision-makingWhy less than 7% of teams actually agree on who is part of the teamThe three essential conditions for team effectiveness: a real team, clear purpose, and right peopleHow empathy and integrity are the two most important predictors of leadership team successKey behaviors to watch for when selecting (or removing) team membersWhy team norms and clear behavioral expectations matter more than values statementsThe importance of having the right team size and support systems in placeLinks & Resources Mentioned:Senior Leadership Teams by Ruth Wageman, Debra A.

Explaining service as the easiest path to awakening, RamDev gives tips on developing compassion and selfless action.Today's podcast is brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/beherenow and get on your way to being your best self.This time on Healing at the Edge, RamDev guides listeners through: His favorite part of the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 12)Service as the easiest path to awakeningHanuman as the aspect of the deity that expresses devotion through selfless serviceNaturally arising compassion and seeing God / the guru in all peopleHow suffering comes from having inappropriate boundariesApproaching service as an expression of love and joyPity as the near enemy of compassionBuilding communities that support serviceBeing of service through full presence and connectionThe many levels of healing and how to support others remotelyLearning compassion through simple moments of meditation“Service takes on a different tone, a different feeling quality in our beings, if instead of doing it out of guilt or I need to stay busy or I'm trying to help people, it's an act of love. It's your relationship with the beloved, that the homeless person, your partner, even your self, is a manifestation of that which is love. Then, service is transformed. It's an act of joy, not a responsibility.” – RamDevSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The Fourteenth Amendment. Of all the amendments to the U.S. Constitution, the 14th is a big one. It's shaped all of our lives, whether we realize it or not: Roe v. Wade, Brown v. Board of Education, Bush v. Gore, plus other Supreme Court cases that legalized same-sex marriage, interracial marriage, access to birth control — they've all been built on the back of the 14th. The amendment was ratified after the Civil War, and it's packed full of lofty phrases like due process, equal protection, and liberty. But what do those words really guarantee us? Today on Throughline's We the People: How the 14th Amendment has remade America — and how America has remade the 14th (Originally ran as The Fourteenth Amendment).Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

The Sixth Amendment. Most of us take it for granted that if we're ever in court and we can't afford a lawyer, the court will provide one for us. And in fact, the right to an attorney is written into the Constitution's sixth amendment. But for most of U.S. history, it was more of a nice-to-have — something you got if you could, but that many people went without. Today, though, public defenders represent up to 80% of people charged with crimes. So what changed? Today on Throughline's We the People: How public defenders became the backbone of our criminal legal system, and what might need to change for them to truly serve everyone. (Originally ran as The Right to an Attorney).Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

The Second Amendment. In April 1938, an Oklahoma bank robber was arrested for carrying an unregistered sawed-off shotgun across state lines. The robber, Jack Miller, put forward a novel defense: that a law banning him from carrying that gun violated his Second Amendment rights. For most of U.S. history, the Second Amendment was one of the sleepier ones. It rarely showed up in court, and was almost never used to challenge laws. Jack Miller's case changed that. And it set off a chain of events that would fundamentally change how U.S. law deals with guns. Today on Throughline's We the People: How the second amendment came out of the shadows.

J R talks about how he joined the military and went to war at 19 but was injured after just one month, suffering 34% burns and inhaling so much smoke it was thought he might not survive. He was in a coma for 3 weeks and, when he came out of it the reality of the injuries and scars to his body left him thinking there was no way he could live in society. Eventually though he realised there were a lot of things that he could still do and he turned tragedy into purpose, sharing his story and expanding his career into acting, advocacy, non-profit work raising awareness for injured military personnel and writing his memoir.Main topicsWhy resilience needs to be conditioned and exercised.How our early life conditions us for the difficulties we meet laterGrieving for the loss of an old life so you can accept the reality of a new oneLosing your sense of identity The difference between being alive and livingHow we can all have a ‘rebirth day' when roles evolve and change Choosing to jettison parts of your old identity Creating a new image and changing the narrative Negative words and embracing the labels given to us by other peopleHow society and culture conditions men to be tough and avoid talking about emotionsWhy vulnerability needs to be expressed in different ways Seeing the individual, not the injuryHow connecting as humans beings can change the narrative and the way you look at anyone else you come into contact with Action itemsYou can find out more about J R at https://jrmartinez.com/ or through his Facebook, Instagram or LinkedIn
