When you upgrade your inner state, parenting gets easier, marriage gets warmer, and home feels safe again. This is how you cultivate a family culture of peace, courage, and joy—without pretending or suppressing.Try this today (1-minute reset): Stand tall, inhale 4, hold 4, exhale 6 (x6 rounds). Add one gratitude sentence and smile on purpose. Notice the shift—then go connect.Key Takeaways✅ Nothing gets better until you do — when you raise your state, your family follows.✅ Kids imitate without regulation — they copy your energy, good or bad.✅ Trying to “stay calm” is masking — practice authentic emotional expression.✅ Sleep & food drive mood — protect your physiology to parent better.✅ Quick resets work — breathing, movement, posture, and gratitude change your state fast.✅ Every family has an emotional thermostat — set yours higher on purpose.✅ Mentor, don't micromanage — see misbehavior as a cry for help and coach skills.Memorable Quote:

Summary In this episode of the Ali Damron Show, Ali discusses the pervasive issue of anxiety, sharing her personal experiences and insights gained from working with patients over the years. She emphasizes that anxiety is not a character flaw but a learned brain pattern that can be unlearned through understanding and practical strategies. The conversation covers the science behind anxiety, the importance of emotional expression, and actionable steps to engage with life despite anxiety. Ali encourages listeners to practice self-compassion and to view anxiety as a protective mechanism rather than a debilitating condition. Takeaways Anxiety manifests differently for everyone, both physically and mentally. Understanding anxiety as a learned behavior can empower individuals to change their responses. Neuroplasticity allows us to unlearn anxiety and create new brain pathways. Labeling anxiety as a false alarm can help diffuse its power. Allowing feelings of anxiety without resistance is crucial for healing. Engaging in life despite anxiety is essential for personal growth. Emotional expression is key to processing underlying feelings that contribute to anxiety. Self-compassion is vital in the journey of overcoming anxiety. Avoidant behaviors reinforce anxiety; facing fears is necessary for progress. Practicing small steps towards facing anxiety can lead to significant changes.

In this episode of The Stellar Teacher Podcast, I dive into a critical topic for upper elementary classrooms: supporting multilingual learners (MLLs). With the help of experts Dr. Jana Echevarría and Dr. Jeannette Mancilla-Martinez, we explore why the term “multilingual learner” is replacing “English language learner,” how to challenge common misconceptions, and why it's so important to recognize the linguistic assets students bring to our classrooms. You'll gain a clear understanding of the difference between everyday language and academic language, and why focusing on both is essential for our students' success.We also tackle the myth that students need to fully master English before they can access grade-level content. I talk with Jana and Jeanette about research showing that, with intentional support and meaningful instruction, MLLs can engage with the same literacy and content skills as their peers. From understanding the role of academic language as a “gate opener” to strategies for integrating language objectives into everyday lessons, this episode is full of practical ideas you can bring right into your classroom.Finally, the conversation turns to actionable strategies teachers can implement immediately. From leveraging students' background experiences to integrating listening, speaking, reading, and writing into content lessons, Jana and Jeanette highlight simple yet powerful ways to support language development across disciplines. This episode is packed with guidance to help you feel confident, intentional, and empowered to meet the needs of multilingual learners—reminding us all that these students are learners just like everyone else.Join us in the Stellar Literacy Collective Membership: stellarteacher.com/join!Sign up for my FREE private podcast, the Confident Writer Systems Series, here!Sign up for my FREE Revision Made Easy email series here!Follow me on Instagram @thestellarteachercompany.

So many of us assume we can't focus because we don't have enough discipline, but I've found that the real issue is often depleted capacity. Discipline works like a muscle we can strengthen, but capacity depends on the deeper reserves of our nervous system - things like sleep, nutrition, emotions, and recovery. I like to ask myself: which one am I low on right now? And what happens if I try to push through without the fuel to back it up?   In this episode, I share how flow neuroscience and my own journey through burnout have shaped the way I think about discipline and capacity. I'll walk you through simple strategies for both - steps that build momentum and restorative practices that bring your energy back - so you can pause and ask the right question before you push: is this a discipline problem, or a capacity problem?   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Why Focus Feels Harder Than Ever 02:19 Discipline vs. Capacity Explained   03:55 Burnout as a Capacity Problem   06:22 What Capacity Really Means   07:25 Flow Cycle and Recovery   07:58 How to Balance Discipline and Capacity   10:07 Practical Strategies to Improve Discipline   15:52 Practical Strategies to Improve Capacity   24:43 The Balance That Prevents Burnout   Links Shop More about Dr. Raquel Martin, PhD Purchase the infographic mentioned in this episode Brainstorming Session   Connect with Lara:  Website The Catalyst Way YouTube Instagram  Facebook LinkedIn TikTok     Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Welcome to the Future Generations Podcast with Guest Alyssa Campbell, author of "Tiny Humans, Big Emotions" (New York Times Bestseller) and her newest book "Big Kids, Bigger Feelings" out this September. In this episode, Dr. Stanton Hom talks with Alyssa Campbell, diving deep into the complex world of children's emotional intelligence and nervous system development. Targeting parents of children aged 5-12, educators, and child development professionals, the conversation explores the nine sensory systems, how children process stimuli, and provides practical strategies for supporting emotional growth. Campbell breaks down the unique ways children experience and regulate their emotions, offering insights that can help parents move from reactive parenting to intentional, compassionate guidance.   Highlights: "All behaviors are communication of a need."   "What we're sensitive to drains our nervous system. What we're seeking recharges it."   "We're all unique humans, and the way our nervous system works is unique."   "It's not a question of whether your body is wise. The question is, what is your body trying to say?"   Timestamps: 03:45 - Introduction 08:01 - Exploring the Nine Sensory Systems 13:07 - Understanding Sensitivity vs. Seeking in Nervous System 25:38 - Collaborative Emotion Processing Method Explained 30:34 - Practical Strategies for Nervous System Regulation 34:38 - Deep Dive into Emotion Processing Steps 41:16 - COVID-19's Impact on Children's Emotional Development 44:27 - The Power of Compassion in Parenting 49:33 - Alyssa Campbell's Mission and Future Vision 53:07 - How to Connect and Learn More   Resources:   Remember to Rate, Review, and Subscribe on iTunes and Follow us on Spotify!   Learn more about Dr. Stanton Hom on:   Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/drstantonhom  Website: https://futuregenerationssd.com/    Podcast Website: https://thefuturegen.com Twitter: https://twitter.com/drstantonhom  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stanhomdc  Stay Connected with the Future Generations Podcast:   Instagram:  https://www.instagram.com/futuregenpodcast  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/futuregenpodcast/    Links:    https://www.thehivemethod.co/ https://www.instagram.com/thehivemethod.co   About Alyssa Campbell: Alyssa Campbell M.Ed., is an emotional intelligence researcher, Founder and the CEO of Seed & Sew, host of the Voices of Your Village podcast and author of Big Kids, Bigger Feelings: Navigating Defiance, Meltdowns, Anxiety to Raise Confident, Connected Kids (HarperCollins Harvest, 9/16/25).

Social media is one of the most powerful ways for health coaches to build trust, attract clients, and share their authentic message—but without the right tools, it can feel overwhelming.   On today's episode, we're joined by Alexandra Spina, Senior VP of Strategy & Artificial Intelligence at the Integrative Health Practitioner Institute.   Together, we dive into how coaches can simplify social media and use it as a tool for connection instead of stress.   Alexandra also shares the inspiration behind the new Social Media Toolkit for IHP coaches—designed to remove guesswork, reduce fear, and provide easy-to-use templates, strategies, and tutorials.   She explains why authenticity, vulnerability, and consistency matter far more than perfection—and how even small, simple steps can make a huge impact.   If you want to learn how to leverage social media with ease, show up authentically, and begin growing your coaching practice with confidence, tune in to today's Integrative #HealthCoachSuccess episode 403. - - -   Listen or Watch At:  IHP.Coach/403   - - - Dr. Cabral's Book, The Rain Barrel Effect: https://amzn.to/2H0W7Ge - - - Become an Integrative Health Practitioner: https://integrativehealthpractitioner.org  

In this weeks podcast Dan and Ray have a conversation about education with Dr Simon Breakspear.    Simon is a globally respected expert in educational leadership and innovation, known for his insightful work on transforming learning environments.  His forward thinking ideas around education are reshaping the way schools and school systems are thinking about teaching, learning and leadership.       In this episode we talk about:   Distinction Between Productivity and Pedagogical Uses of AI: Simon, Dan, and Ray discussed the critical distinction between using AI for productivity tasks in education (such as administrative work and report summarisation) and for pedagogical purposes, emphasising that while AI can greatly enhance productivity for adults, its use in learning processes for students requires careful consideration to avoid undermining cognitive development.   Human Development and the Role of Analogue Learning: Simon argued that foundational human development—such as reading, writing, and critical thinking—should precede the use of AI in learning, with Dan and Ray supporting the view that analogue learning experiences are crucial for building the cognitive and personal skills necessary for effective future use of AI.   Guidance for School Leaders and Teachers on Navigating AI Integration: Ray and Dan sought practical advice from Simon for school leaders and teachers facing pressure to adopt AI, with Simon recommending a cautious, evidence-based approach that prioritises human development, leverages AI for productivity gains, and introduces AI into learning processes only where it demonstrably enhances educational outcomes.   Changing Role of Teachers in the Age of AI: Ray questions whether the role of teachers must change with AI, and Simon responded that while some administrative tasks may be automated, the core human functions of teaching—motivating, engaging, and forming students—will become even more critical, with teachers needing to exercise professional judgement about when and how to use AI in the classroom.   Ethical and Equity Considerations in AI Adoption: Dan and Simon discussed the ethical implications and potential inequities arising from AI adoption in education, highlighting concerns that uneven access and premature augmentation could disadvantage certain groups of students and create disparities in skills and opportunities.   Practical Strategies for Selective AI Integration: Simon provided practical strategies for integrating AI into education, recommending that schools focus on specific, evidence-based learning processes where AI can add value, such as feedback and retrieval practice, and to avoid being overwhelmed by the proliferation of AI tools.   Long-Term Purpose of Education Amidst Technological Change: Simon concluded that the ultimate goal of education is not solely economic productivity but the holistic formation of human beings, arguing that enduring human skills, identity, and community are essential for resilience in an unpredictable future, regardless of technological advancements.     Links: Dr Simon Breakspear | Speaker.

Never Quit: Lessons in Leadership and Life - A conversation with Greg Robertson In this episode, Greg Robertson  shares his extensive military background, from joining the Army at 17 and serving for 25 years, including 15 years as a sniper in special forces and regular army.  Greg was inspired by the US Army Sniper Association, and after a few key experiences, established the Army Sniper Association (snipe.org.au) to maintain corporate knowledge, connection and support soldiers with practical resources relevant to them.  In our conversation Greg recounts his experiences, and the challenges of transitioning back to civilian life, emphasizing the importance of resilience, community, and finding new purpose. Greg also discusses strategies for mental health, from breathing techniques & mindset to journaling, highlighting the significance of staying active and engaged in community post-service. 00:00 Introduction and Welcome 00:08 Greg's Military Journey 00:46 Inspiration Behind the Sniper Association 02:01 The Regular Army 03:38 Establishing the Sniper Association 04:51 Veteran Support and Mental Health 08:57 Lessons from the Army 12:08 Overcoming Failure and Persistence 20:26 Healing and Transitioning from the Army 26:22 Adjusting to Civilian Life After Military Service 26:38 The Bond Among Military Personnel 28:52 The Role of Humour in Mental Health 30:32 Understanding Resilience and Community 35:40 Practical Strategies for Mental Health 41:23 Finding Purpose and Identity Post-Military 44:53 Conclusion and Contact Information   Finding support for trauma, especially for military and ex-military personnel, is a crucial step towards healing.

We discuss new research that demonstrated how a hospital system that has implemented IDF™ not only improved breastfeeding success rates in the NICU, but they also had an increase in sustained breastfeeding rates after discharge.Elisa also reflects on the lessons learned and the rewards of building a successful feeding clinic, offering inspiration for other clinicians who may want to create something similar in their own communities.This episode is filled with practical strategies and heartfelt perspectives from clinicians dedicated to providing a holistic, family-centered approach to infant feeding—making it an essential listen for both NICU parents and clinicians committed to empowering families and improving outcomes.Dr. Brown's Medical: https://www.drbrownsmedical.com  The Infant-Driven Feeding™ (IDF) Program: https://www.infantdrivenfeeding.com/Our NICU Roadmap: A Comprehensive NICU Journal: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicujournal/  NICU Mama Hats: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/hats/  NICU Milestone Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/nicuproducts/  Newborn Holiday Cards: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shop/  Empowering NICU Parents Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/shownotes/  Episode 73 Show Notes: https://empoweringnicuparents.com/episode73  Empowering NICU Parents Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/empoweringnicuparents/  Empowering NICU Parents FB Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/empoweringnicuparents  Pinterest Page: https://pin.it/36MJjmH

In this week's episode of the podcast, we dive deep into the tricky tightrope walk of balancing structure and flexibility at home—because let's be honest, parenting (and homeschooling) neurodivergent kids isn't for the faint of heart! This episode is your breathe-and-hit-reset permission slip. Here's a peek at what we covered:   Structure is Comforting… Until It Isn't Structure helps our kids (and us!) feel safe. Predictable routines can seriously reduce anxiety, especially for those with executive functioning challenges, ADHD, autism, or sensory processing issues. But too much rigidity? It can spark rebellion, burnout, and meltdowns—especially with creative, passionate, gifted kids.   What Does Flexibility Really Mean? Flexibility doesn't mean winging it! It means responsive teaching—letting your child's needs, interests, and even energy levels guide your day. I share my own family's rhythm, from color-coded calendars to built-in time for unexpected appointments and sibling support.   Practical Strategies to Try Now Here are some actionable takeaways to help you find your family's sweet spot: Start with Your “Must Do's”: Define your “minimum viable day”—the simplest version of what needs to happen (e.g., a little reading, writing, and math). Ease into your routine and build up slowly. Anchors, Not Timetables: Instead of strict schedules, anchor your day around meals, read-alouds, or physical routines. Visual Tools & Ownership: Use checklists, whiteboards, or color-coded calendars so your kids know what's on deck. Support Executive Function: Scaffold routines gently and model breaking big tasks into small steps. Embrace Interest-Led Learning: Let your child's passions drive parts of the curriculum for greater engagement. Built-in Downtime: Everyone—including you!—needs breaks to recharge.   You're Not Alone (Even When It Feels Like It) If your Instagram doesn't look like those homeschool highlight reels, that's normal. Messy days aren't failures—they're feedback.   Looking for More Support? If you want ongoing resources, coaching, or community, check out the Learner's Lab or subscribe to our email list for info on upcoming small group cohorts for middle/high schoolers and executive function workshops. You're the perfect parent for your child—just as you are. Give yourself grace, celebrate the small wins, and remember: structure and flexibility are both just tools.   Links and Resources from Today's Episode Thank you to our sponsors: CTC Math – Flexible, affordable math for the whole family!

In this episode of Blue Glasses Math, I talk about the importance of understanding the beliefs we each carry about teaching and learning math—and how those beliefs impact both us as teachers and our students.

From giving students more autonomy, to validating their ideas, to encouraging meaningful discourse, I'll walk through simple ways we can shift negative beliefs and help every student feel supported and capable in math class.TakeawaysYou can always hit restart even in your classroom.Understanding your own math story is crucial.Students bring their own math stories into the classroom.Beliefs about math influence teaching decisions.Emotions play a significant role in learning math.Beliefs are shaped by repeated emotional experiences.Teachers can influence students' beliefs through interactions.Validating students' ideas is essential for engagement.Encouraging mathematical discourse helps shift beliefs.Respect in the classroom fosters a safe learning environment."What is your math story?""Beliefs are sticky, but they are not fixed.""Every interaction is one drop in this jar."00:00 Introduction and Restarting the Journey01:01 Understanding Your Math Story02:47 The Impact of Beliefs on Learning06:13 Emotions and Their Role in Math Education08:57 Shifting Student Beliefs and Behaviors12:12 Practical Strategies for Teachers21:09 Conclusion and Call to Action

Educators should prioritize teaching appropriate AI usage to students. Standardized education frameworks can successfully coexist with individualized teaching approaches. AI tools reduce teacher workload and minimize decision fatigue. Teachers should share their AI success stories to promote wider adoption. Effective AI implementation enhances both student engagement and learning outcomes. Educators benefit from experimenting with AI in their personal lives before classroom implementation. Each AI tool offers distinct features and capabilities for different educational needs.

Dr. Dianne Olvera, a multifaceted professional, shares her extensive insights into the realms of communication, leadership, and the intricacies of human connection in a thought-provoking discussion. With a career spanning over four decades, her unique experiences as a diplomat, educator, and researcher inform her perspectives on the significance of effective communication strategies in fostering interpersonal relationships. The conversation delves into the core principles that underpin her work, with a particular emphasis on the importance of understanding individual differences in communication styles and cultural contexts. Dr. Olvera's forthcoming book, 'The Power of Understanding Individual Differences to Uplift and Empower,' seeks to empower readers with the tools necessary to navigate the complexities of human interaction, promoting a more inclusive and empathetic society.Central to Dr. Olvera's philosophy is the maxim 'Do unto others as you would have them do unto you,' a principle she applies not only in her personal life but also in her professional endeavors. Her experiences as a diplomat underscore the importance of adapting communication styles to suit diverse audiences, thereby enhancing mutual understanding and respect.

The Unvarnished Truth About Sales: Lessons from the UK's Most Hated Sales Trainer, Benjamin DennehyIn the world of sales, few voices are as candid—or as controversial—as Benjamin Dennehy, widely known as the UK's most hated sales trainer. In this episode, hosted by Josh Elledge, Benjamin pulls no punches as he exposes the uncomfortable realities of sales, debunks persistent myths, and offers actionable strategies for founders, salespeople, and small business owners. This blog post distills the key themes and expert advice from their conversation, providing a comprehensive guide for anyone looking to elevate their sales game.The Realities of Sales and Building Repeatable SuccessBenjamin starts by addressing an uncomfortable truth: most people in sales didn't choose the profession—they stumbled into it. This lack of passion often leads to mediocrity, with many salespeople operating at a “seven out of ten” level, performing just enough to get by. To break through this, Benjamin advocates for treating sales as a craft that demands continuous improvement and investment in proper training. He emphasizes the importance of building a repeatable sales process, focusing on long-term relationships rather than just closing deals.Benjamin also talks about the “founder-led sales trap” where entrepreneurs, passionate about their products, often dread the sales process. Founders frequently hesitate to delegate or hire the right salespeople, leading to burnout and stagnation. He encourages founders to invest in structured sales training, create a clear sales process, and treat sales with the same importance as product development or finance. This shift in mindset is crucial for scaling a business beyond the founder's efforts.Finally, Benjamin discusses the common pitfalls businesses face when hiring salespeople. He warns against hiring based on charisma alone and stresses the need to look for candidates who demonstrate solid sales processes and results. Without a clear and documented sales approach, businesses will continue to struggle with underperforming teams. He advises on setting clear metrics and ensuring new hires are onboarded with proper training to drive predictable and repeatable sales success.About Benjamin DennehyBenjamin Dennehy is the Founder of Sales Matrix Courses, a platform offering comprehensive training and coaching for sales professionals.
