Podcasts about power struggles

Beyond the Sessions is answering YOUR parenting questions! In this episode, Dr. Emily Upshur and I talk about...   Why trying harder often makes tooth brushing harder, and what to focus on instead. The surprising reason lowering your expectations in the short term can actually lead to better long-term habits. How to tell whether your child is resisting because of autonomy, sensory sensitivities, or something else entirely. Why treating tooth brushing like learning a brand-new skill, no matter your child's age, can completely change your approach. Simple ways to use play, exposure, and curiosity to help your child feel more comfortable with brushing. Small changes to your routine that can dramatically reduce bedtime power struggles. Creative ideas to make tooth brushing feel less threatening and more engaging, even for children who have fought it every step of the way.   Whether your child refuses to open their mouth, insists on brushing independently, or runs away the moment the toothbrush comes out, this episode will help you move away from daily battles and toward a calmer, more connected approach that builds cooperation over time.     REFERENCES AND RELATED RESOURCES:

In this episode, I answer a question from a mom who feels like she's constantly butting heads with her ten-year-old daughter. We talk about why the preteen years often bring a strong desire for independence, how to balance growing autonomy with healthy boundaries, and why behaviors like arguing, disrespect, and constantly saying, "You're not the boss of me," are often signs of a child trying to figure out who they are rather than simply being defiant. I also share practical ways to strengthen your relationship during this important stage of development, including how encouragement builds confidence, why some reward systems can unintentionally discourage struggling children, and one simple weekly habit that can transform your connection with your child. If you're parenting a strong-willed preteen and wondering how to navigate the growing push for independence without constant conflict, this episode will give you both perspective and practical tools.

If you feel stuck in the same daily battles with your child, this episode breaks down the real reason power struggles keep happening—it's not defiance, it's dysregulation loops. Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™, shows how to calm the brain first.Have you ever felt like you're having the same fight with your child over and over again—no matter what you try? You're not imagining it, and you're definitely not alone.When power struggles keep repeating, it's not just about behavior—it's about a nervous system loop that keeps both parent and child stuck.In this episode discussing the real reason power struggles keep happening, let us break down why escalation happens so fast—and what actually interrupts it so real change can begin.Why does my child keep arguing with me over the same things?If it feels like déjà vu every time you ask your child to do something, there's a reason for that. These repeated arguments aren't random—they're patterned responses between two activated nervous systems.Small triggers escalate quickly (a request → hesitation → pushback → frustration)Both parent and child become more reactive as intensity buildsThe brain shifts from listening mode to survival modeReal-life example: You ask your child to turn off their device. They ignore you. You repeat it. Their resistance grows. Your tone sharpens. Suddenly, you're both arguing—and no one remembers how it started.Behavior is communication—but dysregulation drives the loop.Is my child being defiant or dysregulated?This is one of the most common questions parents ask—and the answer changes everything.What looks like defiance is often a dysregulated nervous system that cannot process the request in the moment.Dysregulated kids cannot access their “thinking brain” during escalationPushback, yelling, or shutting down are stress responses, not disrespectCorrection without regulation often increases resistanceYou're not seeing bad behavior—you're seeing a brain that can't regulate yet.When your child is dysregulated, it's easy to feel helpless.The Regulation Rescue Kit gives you the scripts and strategies you need to stay grounded and in control.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and get your free kit today.Why do power struggles escalate so fast between me and my child?Power struggles don't just repeat—they intensify because each interaction strengthens the pattern.The nervous system learns the cycle: pressure → reaction → escalationParents often increase urgency, tone, or consequencesKids mirror that energy through resistance or shutdownOver time, both systems become quicker to react.This is what I call a reactivity loop—and it's why things feel harder, not easier, over time.

It was a deal Prime Minister Mark Carney touted as a 'game changer' that made the preceding war across Iran 'worth it'. But in the days that followed after the United States and Iran signed the memorandum of understanding, it's still unclear who holds the power and who should watch their back. Host Caryn Ceolin speaks to Aurel Braun, international relations professor at the University of Toronto to discuss where US-Iran negotiations stand, the implications of the new MOU, and the long-term risks for regional and global security.

If you're like most parents, you've probably had a moment this summer where you said, "Okay, time to turn it off," and suddenly found yourself in a negotiation, an argument, or a full-blown meltdown. Screens have become one of the biggest parenting challenges of modern life. They're entertaining, social, educational, and often genuinely helpful. But they can also create power struggles, emotional outbursts, and frustration for both kids and parents. In this episode, Kyle and Sara explore a different way to think about screens.

The war inside the Sinaloa Cartel may be reaching a turning point. In this episode, we break down the alleged collapse of the Chapitos faction, the fallout from El Mayo Zambada's shocking kidnapping and arrest, and the reported U.S. indictment targeting powerful political figures in Sinaloa. As Chapo Guzmán's sons lose allies, money, manpower, and political protection, the balance of power may be shifting toward Los Mayitos. But this story goes far beyond cartel infighting. We also explore the bigger picture: U.S. pressure on Mexican politicians, growing American intelligence activity inside Mexico, surveillance technology on the border, alleged CIA involvement, and whether this marks a new phase in the war against Mexican cartels. Is this the end of the Guzmán dynasty? Are the Chapitos negotiating their surrender? And is Mexico becoming the next major battlefield for U.S. foreign policy?

Runoff battles, Freedom Caucus attacks, ICE enforcement, and explosive H-1B fraud allegations dominate today's political landscape. DESCRIPTION Today's AMPERWAVE DAILY episode pulls together a full day of political coverage centered on South Carolina's tightening governor's race, escalating internal GOP conflict, immigration enforcement actions, and national implications from newly surfaced allegations involving H-1B visa fraud and foreign credential verification. As political mailers flood key districts and accusations of misinformation intensify, Freedom Caucus lawmakers push back against what they describe as coordinated efforts to mislead voters ahead of a critical runoff election. Meanwhile, broader national debates over immigration enforcement, workforce integrity, and election security continue to collide with state-level political battles. EPISODE SUMMARY South Carolina's governor's race is heading toward a high-stakes runoff, with polling showing a tightly packed field and no clear frontrunner. Campaign dynamics shift rapidly as candidates jockey for position and outside political forces intensify messaging across the state. Freedom Caucus members face aggressive mail campaigns they say misrepresent their voting records, sparking accusations of coordinated political manipulation. Lawmakers argue that establishment-aligned groups are targeting conservative candidates with misleading narratives about taxes, pay raises, and legislative votes. On the enforcement front, a recent ICE-related operation in Abbeville continues to generate debate after reports surfaced of management-level arrests and broader questions about employer accountability in illegal hiring practices. Nationally, the discussion expands into a major controversy involving H-1B visa programs and allegations that fraudulent educational credentials may be far more widespread than previously understood. Reports suggest large numbers of counterfeit degrees could be circulating, raising concerns about professional licensing in engineering, healthcare, and technical fields. The conversation also touches on broader themes of immigration policy, labor market competition, wage suppression arguments, and the long-term effects of visa systems tied to employment-based residency pathways. Finally, concerns over election integrity, dark money influence, and transparency in political advertising add another layer of tension to an already volatile political environment. KEY TOPICS South Carolina Governor's Race & Expected Runoff GOP Primary Fragmentation Freedom Caucus Political Mailer Controversy Allegations of Misleading Campaign Messaging Abbeville ICE Raid & Employer Accountability Immigration Enforcement Policy Debate H-1B Visa Program Scrutiny Foreign Degree Fraud Allegations Labor Market & Wage Competition Debate Election Integrity & Ballot Security Concerns Dark Money & Political Influence in State Politics Federal Document Transparency Questions BIGGEST TAKEAWAYS South Carolina's governor's race remains extremely close and likely headed for a runoff. Freedom Caucus lawmakers are under heavy political pressure from outside messaging campaigns. Immigration enforcement actions are fueling broader debate over workplace compliance and accountability. Allegations of widespread foreign credential fraud are intensifying scrutiny of visa programs. Election integrity and political transparency remain central voter concerns. State and national political issues are increasingly interconnected.

Despite ceasefire talks, the war between Iran and the US appears to be heating up again. Iran and the US have exchanged blows, potentially jeopardizing the ceasefire. While it seems that much of the world is happy to see Iran remain in power and continue terrorizing the region, President Trump thankfully isn't. Further complicating matters is the fact that Iran's president just tried to resign - again. This resignation attempt signals a collapsing chain of command within Iran, which makes you wonder if the people Trump is negotiating with actually have any real power in the government anymore.

This episode examines the parliamentary session that reshuffled the country's political landscape on May 14. Ali Al-Zaidi was confirmed as prime minister, but only 14 of his 19 proposed ministers won parliamentary approval, while five nominees linked to Nouri Al-Maliki, Masoud Barzani, and Muthanna Al-Samarrai were blocked in what appears to have been a coordinated political maneuver by their rivals. The hosts break down what really happened inside parliament that day and unpack the emerging tripartite bloc between Qais Al-Khazali, Haybat Al-Halbousi, and Bafel Talabani, and trace its roots back to the December 2025 speaker vote.

Donald Trump's latest comments about China are igniting fierce debate as he praises Chinese leadership, discusses massive energy deals, and signals a dramatic shift in global strategy. Tara breaks down the behind-the-scenes reality of U.S.-China relations, the Iran oil chess match, concerns over espionage and farmland purchases, and why Trump's negotiation tactics are making even supporters uneasy. PODCAST SUMMARY Donald Trump's latest remarks about China stunned supporters and critics alike after praising Chinese leadership, defending economic partnerships, and discussing future energy agreements between the United States and Beijing. Tara and Lee dive into the controversial comments, including Trump referring to America and China as the “G2” and discussing expanded trade and oil exports. The episode explores the growing tension between Trump's public diplomatic posture and the private security precautions reportedly being taken by the administration during the China trip. Tara details reports that White House staff discarded Chinese-issued devices and prohibited American personnel from using personal electronics inside Chinese-controlled networks due to espionage concerns. The conversation then shifts to the larger geopolitical strategy surrounding Iran, Russia, China, and global energy markets. Tara argues that Trump's long-term play may involve forcing China to purchase American energy at market prices instead of discounted Iranian or Russian oil, potentially weakening China's manufacturing advantages and disrupting alliances between Beijing, Moscow, and Tehran. The show also examines broader political implications for the 2026 midterms, Republican infighting, and Trump's willingness to make politically risky public statements while focusing on long-term geopolitical negotiations behind the scenes.

Today's episode pulls together a full day of heated political commentary and breaking narratives spanning state-level redistricting battles, allegations of federal fraud and spending abuse, courtroom controversies, global trade and geopolitical tensions, and escalating cultural conflicts in education and public policy. Across every topic, the central question remains the same: who controls the system—and who benefits from it? COLD OPEN (HOOK): “From state capitols to federal courts, from school boards to global negotiations—today's stories all orbit one idea: trust in institutions is breaking down, and every side is fighting to define why.” EPISODE SEGMENTS SEGMENT 1 — “THE REDISTRICTING POWER STRUGGLE” Intense political conflict over congressional map redraws and state legislative control Accusations of party betrayal, internal division, and strategic obstruction Debate over competitiveness vs engineered outcomes in electoral districts Friction between governors, legislative leaders, and national political forces CORE QUESTION: Is redistricting about fairness—or control of Congress itself? SEGMENT 2 — “FRAUD, SPENDING & FEDERAL SYSTEMS UNDER SCRUTINY” Claims of large-scale fraud and error rates in federal programs like Medicaid Discussion of concentrated spending patterns in specific counties and ZIP codes Allegations of bureaucratic resistance to oversight and system transparency Broader debate over how effectively government spending is monitored KEY THEME: Is the system inefficient—or structurally vulnerable to abuse? SEGMENT 3 — “COURTS, CASES & LEGAL BATTLES” Ongoing legal disputes involving high-profile civil judgments and appeals Debate over jury decisions, judicial assignments, and perceived politicization of outcomes Questions about repeated litigation and reputational damage through legal processes Broader concerns about confidence in judicial neutrality and consistency SEGMENT 4 — “GLOBAL TRADE, CHINA & ECONOMIC PRESSURE” Discussion of major international investment discussions and potential large-scale trade deals Concerns about foreign influence in U.S. manufacturing and strategic industries Inflation pressures tied to energy markets, logistics, and global supply chains Debate over whether economic partnerships strengthen or expose national vulnerabilities KEY QUESTION: Where is the line between economic growth and strategic dependency? SEGMENT 5 — “CULTURE, EDUCATION & SOCIAL CONFLICT” Heated disputes over school policies, safety, and administrative transparency Ongoing cultural divide around identity, student protections, and institutional rules Concerns about public trust in education systems and local governance Broader national debate over values and policy direction in public schools SEGMENT 6 — “IMMIGRATION, LABOR & NATIONAL POLICY SHIFTS” Reports of declining foreign student enrollment in U.S. universities Debate over immigration policy impacts on higher education and labor markets Competing arguments about domestic opportunity vs global talent reliance CLOSING THOUGHT: Across politics, courts, economics, and culture, today's themes converge on a single tension: institutions are under pressure, trust is fragmenting, and every major system is being challenged—either for failing its mission or for being deliberately reshaped. SOCIAL CAPTION: A full day of political firestorms, economic concerns, court battles, and cultural clashes—today's episode connects the dots across a divided America. #Hashtags: #Politics #Economy #Courts #Redistricting #CultureWar #Immigration #Energy #Amperwave #NewsAnalysis

Guest Author Barry Strauss discusses the power struggle between Mark Antony and the young Octavian following Julius Caesar's assassination. Strauss relies on the Greek historians Plutarch and Cassius Dio to reconstruct this era, noting that Plutarch is the best single source for Antony's life. While Antony was a noble consul and Caesar's seasoned lieutenant, Octavian was a slight, 19-year-old great-nephew who lacked military experience but possessed "Machiavellian" cunning. The two joined Lepidus in the Second Triumvirate to avenge Caesar, leading to the Battle of Philippi in 42 BC. Although Antony emerged as the hero of that victory, Octavian allegedly fled the battlefield due to illness. This victory eliminated assassins like Cassius and Brutus, yet it set the stage for a civil war where Octavian'spolitical ambition would eventually overwhelm Antony's social pedigree. Strauss emphasizes that Caesar likely educated Octavian in the "dark arts of power." (1/8)1680 CONSTANTINOPLE
