Every few years, conversations about education in the U.S. circle back to the same refrain: Why can't we be more like Finland?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chrishawn Finister from Your Joy Psychological, PLLC to unpack this comparison.We dig into the nuanced relationship between educational eligibility and clinical diagnosis, which often overlap but aren't interchangeable. From there, we widen the lens to explore the broader systems-level challenges that shape how students are identified, supported, and served.Some key themes we discuss:✅ Orthographic density and literacy: Why differences in written language systems matter when comparing reading outcomes across countries.✅ Population homogeneity and “education tracks”: When we look at instructional outcomes data, the students included in the education system and the numbers matter. Are the same individuals “counting” when we compare results across countries? ✅ Teacher pay and professional identity: What Finland's investment in teacher preparation and salary looks like compared to the U.S. (spoiler alert: Dr. Finister and I both think the US should be more like Finland on this one). ✅ Cultural perceptions of medicine vs. education: Why recommendations from evaluations are perceived differently depending on the setting and who is making decisions about services.✅ Housing instability and socioeconomic factors: We're educating students with complex needs in the US who have varying experiences outside of school. With this in mind, has the education system made more progress than what the media is saying? Rather than looking for a one-size-fits-all solution, we highlight why U.S. educators, policymakers, and clinicians need to understand the challenges and opportunities when designing systems of support.If you've ever wondered where the lines between clinical diagnosis and educational eligibility blur, this conversation will give you a grounded perspective.Dr. Chrishawn Finister is an Independent Practicing Licensed Psychological Associate and a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology, possessing over a decade of experience in the role of School Psychologist. Recognized as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist, she is committed to utilizing diagnostically sound assessments to identify learning barriers and implementing research-based interventions to amend challenging behaviors effectively.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Ed Alexander discuss:Challenges and risks in forming and managing law firm partnershipsStrategic considerations and planning for succession and law firm exitsThe importance of communication, expectations, and alignment in business relationshipsDiversifying marketing and building sustainable value in a law practice Key Takeaways:Many law firm partnerships collapse because they lack a clear strategic purpose, and poor communication during both the honeymoon phase and long term creates conflicts that are nearly impossible to resolve.Setting clear expectations early—on contributions, compensation, growth, retirement, and lifestyle philosophies—can prevent disputes where one partner feels undervalued or overburdened.Selling or transitioning a law practice requires years of preparation, including transferring goodwill, maintaining referral trust, phasing into an of counsel role, and positioning the buyer as a trusted successor.The 2008–2009 global financial crisis showed how fragile referral-dependent firms can be, as many lost business overnight, underscoring the need for diversified marketing, consistent development, and team-based client service. "Partnerships, it's interesting, because they're marriages, right?

In this episode, clinical psychologist and ADAA member expert Dr. Jill Emanuele unpacks the nuanced differences between sadness, grief, and major depressive disorder — and why misusing these terms can delay real help.But the conversation doesn't stop there.

When co-parenting feels impossible because of constant conflict, there is another way. It's called parallel parenting—a structure designed for high-conflict divorce that reduces interaction, sets clear boundaries, and allows both parents to focus on their children's wellbeing. In this episode of the Journey Beyond Divorce Podcast, I'm joined by Randi Karmel, PLLC, a family law attorney, mediator, and parent coordinator with decades of experience helping families navigate custody disputes, substance abuse cases, and complex parenting dynamics. Randi and I explore how to create a parallel parenting plan that actually works. We talk about what must be included in your legal agreement, the pitfalls to avoid, and how to handle the inevitable gray areas that come with real life. You'll also hear why having a parent coordinator can be a game-changer in easing ongoing conflict. If you're facing high-conflict divorce or struggling with parenting arrangements, this episode will give you practical tools to reduce stress, minimize court battles, and prioritize your child's emotional safety.
