What happens when the professionals you trust to help your child's OCD, actually make things worse?Too many parents of kids with OCD are told to “reassure them,” “avoid the triggers,” or “help them relax.” Even well-meaning therapists often miss the mark — treating OCD like general anxiety or skipping ERP (Exposure and Response Prevention) altogether.In this episode, I'm breaking down why OCD is so often misunderstood in therapy, how to tell if your child's therapist truly understands OCD, and the red flags that signal it's time to look elsewhere. You'll learn what evidence-based treatment should look like — and how to advocate for the help your child really needs.Want a PDF handout with sample questions to ask a therapist and red flags to look out for?

Ever notice how some kids just cannot talk about hard things- especially if it's about their own mistakes or ‘bad' behavior? Maybe they melt down the second you bring it up… or shut down completely.Let's unpack what's really going on when kids refuse to talk about mistakes or anything that feels “bad.” You'll learn why their brain might be protecting them from feelings that are just too much - and how you can gently help them build the capacity to feel bad and still be okay.In this episode, you'll learn:Why refusing to talk about hard things isn't defiance—it's protectionWhat's happening in the brain when a child remembers something painful or shame-filledHow to scaffold conversations about mistakes using stories, characters, and your own modelingThe difference between avoiding hard conversations from connection mode versus protection modeResources mentioned in this podcast:Resources included in the blog summary go hereRead the full transcript at: RobynGobbel.com/talkaboutmistakesThe Club is welcoming new members now until Friday!Head to RobynGobbel.com/TheClub for details and to join us!::: :::Grab a copy of USA Today Best Selling book Raising Kids with Big, Baffling Behaviors robyngobbel.com/bookJoin us in The Club for more support! robyngobbel.com/TheClubSign up on the waiting list for the 2027 Cohorts of the Baffling Behavior Training Institute's Immersion Program for Professionals robyngobbel.com/ImmersionFollow Me On:FacebookInstagram Over on my website you can find:Webinar and eBook on Focus on the Nervous System to Change Behavior (FREE)eBook on The Brilliance of Attachment (FREE)LOTS & LOTS of FREE ResourcesOngoing support, connection, and co-regulation for struggling parents: The ClubYear-Long Immersive & Holistic Training Program for Parenting Professionals: The Baffling Behavior Training Institute's (BBTI) Professional Immersion Program (formerly Being With)

Dr. Jody Daniels, former Chief of Army Reserve and former Commanding General of the U.S. Army Reserve. Daniels walks through the leadership lessons she carried from early service in Kosovo, intelligence work in Iraq, and later senior roles guiding Reserve Soldiers at home and abroad. Daniels explains her unexpected path into senior leadership, emphasizing that she never set out to be “the one in charge.” Instead, she focused on doing the job well, supporting others, and staying open to new opportunities. That mindset shaped her approach as she led Soldiers across diverse missions, including major domestic disaster support operations. Throughout the conversation, she shares how she learned to identify talent, communicate clearly, and maintain humility without lowering expectations. A major portion of the discussion centers on the structure and capabilities of the U.S. Army Reserve. Daniels clarifies what the Reserve actually provides during large-scale disasters—logistics, engineering, medical support, transportation, civil affairs, and other essential functions that complement civilian response efforts. Scardena and Daniels talk through the practical realities of integrating military support with local, state, and federal partners, highlighting the value of experienced liaison officers and thoughtful coordination. They also dive into organizational culture: how teams function, why trust matters, and how leaders cultivate an environment where people feel comfortable speaking honestly while maintaining professionalism. Daniels outlines the difference between being “in a position of impact” and “being influential,” reinforcing that titles alone don't create effective leadership. Toward the end of the episode, Daniels shares one of her guiding principles: choose purpose over passion. Passion can shift with time, but purpose—anchored in service, responsibility, and long-term commitment—creates clarity throughout a career. It's the mindset that carried her from junior officer to her final role leading the Army Reserve. This episode offers a grounded look at leadership, service, and the realities of military support to disaster operations, delivered with the straightforward clarity Dr. Daniels is known for.

“If at all possible, resist the dehumanizing forces that are at work in grad school and in the early days of your academic employment.” — Emily Hunter McGowin Theologian and professor Emily Hunter McGowin joins us on the podcast to discuss the nature of family in the context of God's kingdom. How can we live as faithful followers of Jesus within our complex family narratives? Author and theologian Emily Hunter McGowin joins us on the podcast to discuss her recent book Households of Faith: Practicing Family in the Kingdom of God. Emily helps us to interrogate the cultural assumptions we bring into the work of family life and to consider them in light of the words of Scripture. She asserts that the Bible is far from prescriptive about the details of household life and that Scripture makes space for a variety of shapes and structures that support family connectedness. Emily challenges her readers to think carefully about the integration of community needs with personal flourishing, and she offers simple suggestions for integrating nourishing habits into the complex fabric of family life. In addition — I'm pleased to tell you that InterVarsity Press is offering a discount on Households of Faith for listeners of this podcast.

Looking for more DTP Content? Check us our here: www.thereadinesslab.com/dtp-linksFor the 250th episode of the Disaster Tough Podcast, host John Scardena turns the mic on himself to share three core lessons that have shaped the show, his career, and how he shows up in the emergency services space: gratitude as a persona, how to influence, and “come what may and love it.” John starts with gratitude—not as a cliché, but as an intentional persona. With every guest and every episode, his rule has been: treat people with respect, even when you disagree, and appreciate the experience they bring to the table. That mindset has opened doors, deepened conversations, and kept the online persona aligned with the person he is in real life. He then breaks down how influence actually works. Influence isn't just about title or rank; it's the compound effect of doing your homework, producing professional-grade work, building credibility over time, and treating people—at every level—as equals. He talks about moving from recording in a car under a blanket to hosting generals, chiefs, CEOs, and operators because the work quietly built trust before the big asks ever happened. Finally, John shares the philosophy of “come what may and love it”, quote by Joseph B. Worthlin —taking the long view through wildfires, family life, deployments, changing FEMA and grant environments, and the roller coaster of running a podcast and business.

Three out of every four people seeking work feel that AI could be unfairly screening out their applications, according to a new survey. And a majority feel automation is making some aspects of the recruitment process impersonal and dismissive. This lack of human interaction, according to the inaugural Collins McNicholas Workforce Insights Report, is making professionals less interested in working for particular companies. Overwhelmingly, the one piece of advice professionals would give to companies is to "keep a human touch" in the recruitment process. Of the more than 2,500 respondents to the Collins McNicholas Workforce Insights Report, some 75% agreed or strongly agreed that AI could be unfairly screening out their applications. Only five per cent strongly disagreed. Almost three out of four (74%) felt automated rejection emails were impersonal and dismissive, with only six per cent strongly disagreeing. The survey was carried out by Collins McNicholas Recruitment & HR Services Group over a two-week period (from October 7th to October 21st) among professionals on the company's database. A total of 2,541 responses were received from professionals working across a range of sectors and age profiles. Collins McNicholas is an award-winning Irish company that sources talent and provides hiring solutions across a wide variety of sectors for its client companies. Other automation-related findings included: A total of 69% felt that a lack of human interaction made them less interested in working for a company. More than half (54%) said the one piece of advice they would give employers if using AI in recruitment was to 'keep a human touch in the process'. This was followed by urging employers to only use automation at certain stages (16%) and to improve communication and feedback (14%) Almost half (46%) disagreed that automated messages made the recruitment process more efficient Collins McNicholas' Director Michelle Murphy said: "The findings of our inaugural Workforce Insights Report are extremely interesting and show that employers face a huge challenge in balancing the use of AI and automation to speed up their recruitment process while ensuring that the applicants feel like they are being treated equally and receiving that human touch that they are clearly saying they want. Employers - and recruitment companies - are under increasing pressure to keep up to date with advances in AI but this report is a warning shot that we need to be careful about how we are implementing AI and where we are inserting that into the process. "Collins McNicholas carried out this survey to capture the perspectives and priorities of professionals actively seeking new career opportunities in Ireland. All responses were collected anonymously to enable a comprehensive analysis of the trends shaping the Irish employment landscape in 2025. We plan to carry out an annual report in order to gain further insights to help employers gain real-time insights into the concerns and priorities of professionals." The survey also asked those who have been seeking work during 2025 about other issues. Here are some of those key findings: Career progression (27%) and company culture (24%) are the main non-monetary priorities for those seeking new career opportunities right now. Professionals put these items ahead of remote/work from home options (23%) and flexible working hours (19%). A majority of companies have not changed their hybrid or remote work policy in 2025. Despite much talk in the media about the increased move back to the office, some 59% said that their company had not changed their policy so far this year, with 16% saying they had. The remaining surveyed are not currently with a company full-time. Of those who made a change this year, the majority are now working in the office three days a week. Professionals also do not believe that working remotely or on a hybrid model negatively affects opportunities for career advancement. A total of 51% either stro...

Original Release Date: Monday 24 November 2025    Description:   This week, Dean and Phil will begin to slowly roll out the new era of Chillpak Hollywood, releasing much more content each week. Phil provides details at the outset. Then, he and Dean engage in much show biz “water cooler” discussion. The most famous modernist home in the world is up for sale for the very first time. Dean and Phil talk about the house, its history, and some of the movies that were filmed there. Warner Bros. is also up for sale, apparently (again!), and Dean and Phil both discuss it and sort of lament it! A loyal listener is very upset about the film Bugonia, so Dean and Phil revisit their debate about the film's director, Yorgos Lanthimos. The lack of box office this year for accomplished and acclaimed films aimed at adults gets discussed broadly, with two of these films (the Channing Tatum vehicle Roofman, and the recent spy thriller Black Bag) going under the microscope. Finally, two classic films get re-appraised and celebrated anew: Rian Johnson's Brick on its 20th anniversary, and the rollicking 1966 western The Professionals. Finally, one of Phil's all-time favorite actors, indeed one of the greatest figures in Japanese cinema history, gets remembered in "Celebrity Deaths".

Episode Overview In this episode, John sits down with longtime real estate leader Jim Pruett for a powerful reminder of what actually drives success in this business: fundamentals, discipline, and treating your business like a real business. Jim breaks down why 87% of agents fail, the mindset shift required to survive in today's market, and the simple systems and habits that have allowed him to build a long-term, consistent, and respected real estate business. From setting up your business like a CEO, to mastering the purchase agreement, to building world-class community relationships, this episode is packed with timeless truths agents desperately need—especially those who keep getting distracted by shiny objects instead of focusing on the work that matters. If you feel overwhelmed, inconsistent, or unsure what to focus on to grow, this episode is the clarity punch-in-the-face you've been needing. Key Topics Covered Why Most Agents Fail The "employee-to-CEO" mindset shift every new agent must make Why shiny objects are draining your money and killing your momentum The power of joining a team to dramatically increase your odds of success Building a Real Business Setting up your business like a real CEO: accounting, legal, brand assets, and systems Why your email, your URL, and your online profiles matter more than you think The necessity of consistency across photos, bios, and digital presence Systems & Predictable Success How checklists, workflows, and repeatable processes create freedom Why systems must be "living documents" that evolve as your business grows The role of CRMs, automation, and organized procedures for scale Relationships That Produce How to build real, human connections—online and offline The key difference between transactional contacts and real influence Why "contacts sprout contracts" is still one of the truest principles in real estate How Jim's community involvement (especially the Riverfront Development Committee) became a long-term lever for influence and opportunity Know Your Value Why agents struggle to articulate value and how to fix it How to confidently have the hard conversations with buyers and sellers Why your presence alone should add value to every transaction Mastering the Fundamentals Why every agent should reread the purchase agreement weekly How pre-listing inspections reduce future friction The essential difference between working in your business vs. on your business Blocking out noise, avoiding distractions, and staying focused on what matters CEO-Level Habits The power of being a "slave to your calendar" Forecasting and knowing your numbers like a true operator How the right rooms and the right relationships change your trajectory The mindset of professionals: "Do it until you can't get it wrong." Resources & Mentions The E-Myth Revisited – Michael Gerber Profit First – Mike Michalowicz Choose Your Enemies Wisely – Patrick Bet-David The Checklist Manifesto – Atul Gawande (Chapter 1 recommended) Honey Badger Nation John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Final Takeaway Success isn't complicated—it's consistent.

“Hospitality is not only external; it's internal. Hospitality is not only inside of spaces; it's also wherever we go.” — Laura Baghdassarian Murray Spiritual director Laura Baghdassarian Murray joins us on the podcast to discuss the place of spiritual hospitality in our everyday lives. How can we find authentic ways to offer and receive hospitality that can transform our lives? Author and spiritual director Laura Baghdassarian Murray joins us on the podcast to discuss her recent book Becoming a Person of Welcome: The Spiritual Practice of Hospitality. In our conversation, Laura broadens our understanding of hospitality, pointing out ways that our skills in receiving hospitality are just as important as our skills in hosting. This discussion was decidedly not about “entertaining,” but rather about finding that posture within us that welcomes and is welcomed by others through the Holy Spirit. In addition — I'm pleased to tell you that InterVarsity Press is offering a discount on Becoming a Person of Welcome for listeners of this podcast.

Coming from a challenging, working class upbringing in the United Kingdom, Steve Jones discovered his outlet in music - as founding guitarist of the groundbreaking punk rock band the Sex Pistols. Despite the release of only one album,”Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols,” the band changed the course of music and history - vocalizing issues of class in songs like “Anarchy in the U.K.” – and influencing fashion, art and society. Since then, Jones has continued to play music (both solo and with bands The Professionals and Neurotic Outsiders) and was the host of the popular, long-running radio show, “Jonesy’s Jukebox.” In 2022, his insightful memoir, “Lonely Boy,” was adapted into the FX television series, the Danny Boyle-directed “Pistol.” Steve Jones talks to host Alec Baldwin about the roots of punk rock, coming up alongside Vivienne Westwood and Chrissie Hynde, and the road to getting clean – and beginning life anew.
