On Franz Jakubowski's Ideology and Superstructure in Historical Materialism. We focus on a very short section from Jakubowski's 1936 book, and delve into wider questions regarding ideology, social totality, and the middle classes. Is ideology “false, partial consciousness”? Is Jakubowski right that capitalism is the least ideological social form so far? Is it true that the middle classes only come into contact with the commodity when it is in circulation? How is the middle class' social position reflected in its worldview? How has this changed over 100 years?

In this episode of Perfect Prey, I sit down with filmmaker and NXIVM Whistleblower, Mark Vicente, to explore the insidious nature of narcissism and coercive control. Known for his role in exposing the NXIVM cult and for his upcoming documentary Narcissist Playbook, Mark brings a rare blend of lived experience and narrative insight to a conversation that is both deeply personal and profoundly educational.Together, we examine how narcissistic abuse thrives on confusion, manipulation, and silence. Coercive control isn't always visible—often it hides in plain sight, eroding a survivor's sense of self through emotional, psychological, and sometimes spiritual abuse. Mark shares how he came to recognize the patterns of power and control he endured, and why storytelling and awareness are key to dismantling these dynamics.As a licensed clinical social worker and survivor of coercive control myself, this conversation is one I know will resonate. We talk about the trauma of emotional abuse, the grooming tactics abusers use to gain and maintain control, and the long road to healing after escaping these toxic dynamics. Mark's courage and clarity offer validation to those still trying to make sense of what happened to them, and hope to those who are just beginning to find their voice.This is more than a podcast episode… it's a call to awareness, to healing, and to action. Tune in to better understand the trauma of coercive control and narcissistic relationships, and to remember that your truth is the first step toward freedom.Connect with Mark:Mark's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/markvicente/?hl=enNarcissist Playbook Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thenarcissistsplaybook/?hl=enWebsite: https://www.empathynotincluded.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/markvicente/Listen to Mark's Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/wtf-is-on-my-mind/id1646783869Watch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCX1OsELrINqvPVImbyM6qdQResources Mentioned in this Podcast:

In this episode of Cache Up, host Michelle Frechette chats with Miriam Schwab, Head of WordPress at Elementor, about the company's latest innovations. They discuss new products like the Image Optimizer, Site Mailer, Ally accessibility plugin, and Angie, Elementor's AI assistant. Miriam shares insights on Elementor's codebase revamp for better performance, the company's commitment to accessibility, and the growing role of AI in WordPress. The conversation also highlights Elementor's community involvement, especially at WordCamp US, and the expanding availability of their tools beyond just Elementor users.Top Takeaways:Elementor Expands Beyond Page Building: Elementor is rapidly evolving beyond its roots as a page builder, expanding into a full suite of standalone tools that serve broader WordPress needs. These include utilities like Site Mailer for email deliverability, Image Optimizer for performance, Ally for accessibility, and the soon-to-launch AI assistant Angie. Importantly, many of these tools work independently of Elementor, making them accessible to all WordPress users regardless of their chosen builder.AI Integration is Shaping the Future of Elementor: A major focus for Elementor is integrating AI to streamline website creation and management. From Site Planner, which generates a full website structure from a prompt, to Ally's AI-powered accessibility fixes, and Angie's promise of automating time-consuming tasks, Elementor is positioning AI as a core part of the WordPress user experience. This not only increases efficiency but helps WordPress remain competitive and user-friendly in an AI-driven era.Performance and Speed Take Center Stage with Version 4: Elementor is addressing long-standing concerns about performance by refactoring its aging codebase. Version 4 (V4) of the page builder brings improvements in speed, cleaner code, and better development workflows. This overhaul is designed to benefit both end users, who will see faster websites, and developers, who will gain the ability to deploy new features more quickly and cleanly.Mentioned in the Show:ElementorW3TechsImage OptimizerAllySite Planner AngieWP Accessibility DayUnderrepresented in Tech

In this eye-opening episode of The Canine Paradigm, Glenn and Pat explore the full weight of what happens when a dog is declared a nuisance, menacing, or dangerous by council authorities. Firstly, they unpack how such labels don't just affect the dog. Instead, the repercussions ripple through entire households. Families must adjust their routines, manage legal obligations, and cope with emotional stress. Meanwhile, victims of the incident face their own challenges, often receiving little support despite the trauma they may carry. Importantly, the conversation shifts to another growing concern: the influx of underqualified trainers who are diving into these high-stakes cases. Because the space is so complex and technical, those without proper knowledge or experience often do more harm than good. Rather than helping, their involvement can escalate issues and delay meaningful outcomes. Throughout the episode, Glenn and Pat explain why navigating dangerous dog declarations requires expertise, not guesswork. Professionals in this space must understand behaviour on a deeper level, while also grasping legal context and community impact. Without that foundation, even well-meaning trainers can make mistakes that cost dearly. Ultimately, this episode serves as both a warning and a call for higher standards. It highlights the need for responsibility, not just in councils and courts, but also within the dog training industry itself. If you're a dog owner, trainer, or decision-maker involved in behavioural cases, this is a conversation you can't afford to miss.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Stephen Seckler discuss:How lawyers can better align their personalities with business developmentNavigating career transitions within the legal professionHow meaningful networking creates long-term career momentumLeveraging authenticity and consistency to build a professional brand Key Takeaways:Lawyers who struggle with traditional selling can ease into business development by focusing on small, genuine actions like reconnecting with familiar contacts and writing about subjects they care about.Clarifying which types of clients, cases, and activities energize or drain you is an essential first step before deciding where and how to focus your marketing efforts.The most productive networking conversations happen when lawyers ask clear, focused questions, such as “What's a good introduction for you?”—and balance listening with intentional follow-up.Professionals can avoid wasting time in aimless meetings by preparing a loose agenda beforehand, staying focused on mutual goals, and knowing what specific outcome they want to achieve by the end of each interaction. "You don't have to have an entrepreneurial mindset to act with entrepreneurial intent." —  Stephen Seckler Unlock the secrets of rainmaking success—join Steve Fretzin and four powerhouse legal experts for Be That Lawyer LIVE on August 27; reserve your spot now at fretzin.com/events. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

In this episode, I go on a bit of a rant—and for good reason.When people in positions of power make sweeping decisions without input from the people most affected, the results are often not just ineffective… they're harmful.I share a recent example from my own therapy practice, where state-level Medicaid changes made by HCPF (Colorado's Department of Health Care Policy & Financing) have had huge ripple effects—harming my team's ability to provide care and hurting the very clients those changes were supposed to help.And unfortunately, this isn't a one-off issue. It's a pattern we see all the time in the family court system.Survivors of domestic violence are rarely invited to the table when reforms are discussed or policies are implemented. Professionals make assumptions, apply blanket solutions, and often ignore the lived experiences of the people navigating these systems every single day.In this episode, I explore:Why top-down decisions without feedback loops cause damageHow survivors are continuously silenced and sidelined in court processesThe emotional toll of fighting systems that claim to help—but don't listenWhy true change must include the voices of those impactedWhether you've felt powerless in court, frustrated by the mental health system, or just plain angry at the disconnect between what's needed and what's delivered—this one's for you.Tune in and share your own story.

"AI is in the minds of a lot of people right now and naturally with such big technological shift, you find that there is a big skill gap. You know, there is companies demanding skills in this area, and yet naturally in the marketplace, they might have difficulty finding that skills that is required for companies. So, you know, job seekers need to be a lot more conscious in terms of how they are equipping themselves. One of the things is that LinkedIn courses are there [to help]. I always talk about the three affirmative actions that you can do. One is making sure that you are fluent in this area. I think what are the things that you can do to actually get your hands on all these tools so that you become fluent in just playing around with the tool and making sure that you feel comfortable. The second area that I advise people is to make sure that you feel that you have the agency to master your destiny. The third thing will be to take action. If you have learned all these skills, find a way to showcase it and find a way to actually talk about it so that you are, you can actually surface your capabilities in this space." - Feon Ang Fresh out of the studio, Feon Ang, Managing Director of LinkedIn Asia Pacific, joins us to explore how the platform is transforming professional networking and career development across the region's 343 million members. She shares her career journey from publishing to tech leadership, reflecting on the evolution from typewritten CVs to AI-powered job searches today. Feon explains LinkedIn's unique approach combining scale, trust, and member-first philosophy, emphasizing how their AI tools enable professionals to find opportunities through natural language while companies streamline hiring processes. She highlights the platform's remarkable growth metrics—47 hires per minute and 36% video engagement growth—showcasing how organizations are re-engineering recruitment and learning through AI coaching and personalized pathways. Addressing the challenges of AI adoption and skills gaps, she emphasizes the importance of three key actions: fluency, agency, and action, while advocating for accessible AI integration into daily workflows. Closing the conversation, Feon shares her vision for creating even greater economic opportunity across Asia Pacific as professionals and businesses navigate the AI transformation together.

Podcast Summary This episode of the Pain Exam Podcast, hosted by Dr. David Rosenblum, discusses an interesting article about Ketorolac injections for musculoskeletal conditions. The podcast covers: Ketorolac is an NSAID that provides analgesic and anti-inflammatory effects through inhibition of prostaglandin synthesis Multiple studies comparing Ketorolac injections to corticosteroids and hyaluronic acid for various conditions Research shows Ketorolac injections are equally effective as corticosteroids for subacromial conditions, adhesive capsulitis, carpal-metacarpal joint issues, and hip/knee osteoarthritis Ketorolac may be a safer alternative to steroids for certain patients, though it has its own contraindications for those with renal, gastrointestinal, or cardiovascular disease Dr. Rosenblum considers the potential of using Ketorolac injections directly at pain sites rather than intramuscularly Upcoming Courses and Conferences Ultrasound courses in New York and Costa Rica (check unwrappedpain.org) Private ultrasound sessions available Dr. Rosenblum will be speaking at Pain Week about ultrasound in pain practice and PRP Presenting at a primary care conference in London Teaching ultrasound at ISPN LAPSES conference in Chile (Dr. Rosenblum won't attend this year) Ketorolac Injections: An Effective Alternative for Musculoskeletal Pain Management Musculoskeletal conditions such as bursitis, adhesive capsulitis, and osteoarthritis affect millions and often require injectable therapies to reduce pain and inflammation. Traditionally, corticosteroid injections have been the mainstay treatment. However, concerns over side effects like tendon rupture, cartilage damage, and systemic hyperglycemia have prompted exploration of alternatives. A recent narrative review by Kiel et al. (2024) highlights ketorolac—a parenteral nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID)—as a promising substitute for corticosteroids in musculoskeletal injections. Warning: OFF Label use of Ketorolac discussed. Please consult your physician. See full article  for details. Subacromial Ketorolac Injections for Shoulder Pain Subacromial bursitis and impingement syndrome are common causes of shoulder pain and disability. Several randomized controlled trials have shown that subacromial ketorolac injections provide pain relief and functional improvement comparable to corticosteroids: Goyal et al. demonstrated significant reductions in pain scores after subacromial injection of 60 mg ketorolac versus 40 mg methylprednisolone, with no difference in outcomes between groups. Taheri et al. found similar short-term pain relief at 1 and 3 months with either ketorolac or corticosteroid subacromial injections. Kim et al. reported equivalent clinical improvement in rotator cuff syndrome patients receiving ketorolac or triamcinolone injections. Min et al. noted ketorolac led to better forward flexion and patient satisfaction at 4 weeks compared to corticosteroids. These studies support ketorolac as an effective agent for subacromial injection, offering an alternative for patients where corticosteroid use is limited. Intra-articular Ketorolac Injections for Adhesive Capsulitis and Osteoarthritis Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) and osteoarthritis of the hip, knee, and carpometacarpal joint are often treated with intra-articular corticosteroids. Ketorolac injections have shown comparable efficacy in these conditions: Akhtar et al. found intra-articular ketorolac significantly reduced shoulder pain at 4 weeks in adhesive capsulitis compared to hyaluronic acid. Ahn et al. reported similar pain relief between intra-articular ketorolac and corticosteroid injections in adhesive capsulitis, with ketorolac providing superior shoulder mobility at 3 and 6 months. Koh et al. showed that adding ketorolac to hyaluronic acid injections in carpometacarpal osteoarthritis resulted in faster onset of pain relief compared to hyaluronic acid alone. Park et al. observed equivalent functional improvements with intra-articular ketorolac or corticosteroids in hip osteoarthritis. Jurgensmeier et al. demonstrated similar symptom improvement at 1 and 3 months post-injection for ketorolac and triamcinolone in hip and knee osteoarthritis. Xu et al. and Bellamy et al. confirmed ketorolac's comparable pain relief and functional benefits to corticosteroids for knee osteoarthritis, with ketorolac being more cost-effective. Lee et al. noted quicker pain reduction with intra-articular ketorolac combined with hyaluronic acid versus hyaluronic acid alone in knee osteoarthritis. aSafety and Pharmacologic Considerations Ketorolac's anti-inflammatory action stems from cyclooxygenase inhibition, reducing prostaglandin synthesis. Its half-life is approximately 5.2–5.6 hours, and it is metabolized in the liver. Unlike corticosteroids, ketorolac avoids systemic hyperglycemia and cartilage damage risks. Animal and in vitro studies suggest ketorolac may protect cartilage by inhibiting inflammatory cytokines. While gastrointestinal, renal, and cardiovascular risks associated with NSAIDs remain considerations, localized intra-articular and subacromial ketorolac injections may limit systemic exposure and adverse effects. Mild, transient post-injection pain has been reported but resolves without intervention. Conclusion Ketorolac injections, administered intra-articularly or subacromially, are a safe, effective, and economical alternative to corticosteroids for managing common musculoskeletal conditions. Their comparable efficacy in reducing pain and improving function, combined with a more favorable side effect profile, makes ketorolac an appealing option for clinicians and patients alike. Further research is warranted to fully elucidate long-term safety and optimal dosing strategies. FAQS Ketorolac Injections for Musculoskeletal Conditions: Frequently Asked Questions Musculoskeletal pain from conditions like bursitis, adhesive capsulitis, and osteoarthritis often requires injectable treatments. Ketorolac, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug (NSAID), is emerging as a promising alternative to corticosteroids. Below are common questions and answers based on a recent narrative review by Kiel et al. (2024). 1. What is ketorolac and how does it work? Ketorolac is a parenteral NSAID that reduces pain and inflammation by inhibiting cyclooxygenase enzymes, which decreases prostaglandin synthesis. It can be administered orally, intramuscularly, intravenously, or by injection directly into joints or around bursae. 2. How effective is ketorolac for musculoskeletal conditions? Studies show ketorolac injections provide significant pain relief and functional improvement comparable to corticosteroids in conditions like: Subacromial bursitis and shoulder impingement (subacromial injections) Adhesive capsulitis (frozen shoulder) (intra-articular injections) Osteoarthritis of the hip, knee, and thumb carpometacarpal joint (intra-articular injections) 3. What evidence supports subacromial ketorolac injections? Randomized controlled trials found: Goyal et al. and Taheri et al. reported similar pain reduction and functional outcomes between ketorolac and corticosteroids for subacromial injections. Kim et al. and Min et al. observed comparable or better patient satisfaction and shoulder mobility with ketorolac versus corticosteroids. 4. How does intra-articular ketorolac compare to corticosteroids for adhesive capsulitis? Akhtar et al. showed ketorolac reduced shoulder pain more than hyaluronic acid. Ahn et al. found ketorolac and corticosteroids equally effective for pain relief, with ketorolac providing better shoulder mobility at 3 and 6 months. 5. What about ketorolac for osteoarthritis? Ketorolac combined with hyaluronic acid provided faster pain relief than hyaluronic acid alone in thumb carpometacarpal joint osteoarthritis (Koh et al.). Intra-articular ketorolac had similar efficacy to corticosteroids in hip (Park et al., Jurgensmeier et al.) and knee osteoarthritis (Bellamy et al., Xu et al.). Ketorolac injections were more cost-effective compared to corticosteroids (Bellamy et al.). 6. Are ketorolac injections safe? Ketorolac's side effects are similar to other NSAIDs, mainly involving gastrointestinal, renal, and cardiovascular risks. However, localized intra-articular and subacromial injections may reduce systemic exposure. Animal studies suggest ketorolac does not harm cartilage and may protect against inflammatory damage. Mild, transient local pain post-injection is possible but usually resolves without treatment. 7. What are the limitations of ketorolac use? Ketorolac is not suitable for patients with: Renal impairment Gastrointestinal ulcers or bleeding risk Cardiovascular disease or hypertension NSAID hypersensitivity, especially in asthma or chronic urticaria patients Clinicians should assess individual risks before choosing ketorolac injections. 8. How does ketorolac's pharmacokinetics affect its use? Ketorolac has a plasma half-life of about 5.2 to 5.6 hours and is metabolized in the liver. Pharmacokinetics for subcutaneous or intra-articular administration are less defined but systemic absorption occurs. Its relatively short half-life supports repeated dosing if needed. 9. Why consider ketorolac over corticosteroids? Ketorolac avoids corticosteroid-associated risks such as tendon rupture, cartilage damage, and steroid-induced hyperglycemia. It is also more cost-effective, making it a favorable option for patients and healthcare systems. 10. What further research is needed? More large-scale, long-term studies are needed to fully understand ketorolac's intra-articular effects, optimal dosing, and safety profile compared to corticosteroids and other treatments. Summary: Ketorolac injections, whether intra-articular or subacromial, offer a safe, effective, and economical alternative to corticosteroids for managing various musculoskeletal conditions. This makes ketorolac an important option in pain management and inflammation control.     Reference: Kiel J, Applewhite AI, Bertasi TGO, Bertasi RAO, Seemann LL, Costa LMC, Helmi H, Pujalte GGA.

Subacromial Ketorolac Injections for Shoulder Pain Subacromial bursitis and impingement syndrome are common causes of shoulder pain and disability. Several randomized controlled trials have shown that subacromial ketorolac injections provide pain relief and functional improvement comparable to corticosteroids: Goyal et al. demonstrated significant reductions in pain scores after subacromial injection of 60 mg ketorolac versus 40 mg methylprednisolone, with no difference in outcomes between groups. Taheri et al. found similar short-term pain relief at 1 and 3 months with either ketorolac or corticosteroid subacromial injections. Kim et al. reported equivalent clinical improvement in rotator cuff syndrome patients receiving ketorolac or triamcinolone injections. Min et al. noted ketorolac led to better forward flexion and patient satisfaction at 4 weeks compared to corticosteroids.

President Cyril Ramaphosa is surrounded by advisors that are “mainly inept”. So says political commentator Phapano Phasha. She says he has “juniorised” his office with people “who cannot lead”. Meanwhile, the President is also “highly embedded” in the narrative surrounding allegations of police capture made by General “Lucky” Mkhwanazi. Phasha predicts that “whoever has the money will likely win the ANC conference and become the next ANC president”. In this factional race, SG Fikile Mbalula “has everything intact because he's got external people who support him. He is in charge of branches. But he's the weakest of them all.” Commenting on former President Jacob Zuma's threat of further legal action and political mobilisation unless the President resigns by Friday, Phasha says his MKP is on a collision course. “It's like the Titanic… that kind of organisation, it will eventually break. But for now, I think it's a necessary irritation because what we're having is we're having a GNU and this GNU is unfortunately not able to hold the ANC accountable.” Meanwhile, she warns that the Democratic Alliance (DA) is likely to be punished in the next election. “I had hoped that the NEC would agree to kick off the DA out of the GNU because what you would then have is a more robust Democratic Alliance.” She also blasts Gayton McKenzie's Patriotic Alliance (PA) as a party that would not be in Parliament in a “seasoned democracy”. “But unfortunately, this is where we are. Our politics are mediocre. We are led by the worst in society. Professionals, academics and business people, the patriotic intelligentsia has taken a backseat and allowed this type of people to lead our country.”

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive deep into critical mindset, leadership, and business growth strategies for coaches aiming for six and seven-figure practices. They break down the psychology of self-sabotage, share frameworks to reprogram negative thinking, discuss the power of humility, and reveal why breaking complexity into "threes" is a game-changer in coaching and business leadership. The episode also offers tactical advice on creating effective demonstrations for client acquisition, maximizing wealth, and learning from industry giants like Elon Musk. Key Topics Covered Overcoming Self-Sabotage in Coaching Karl Bryan and Rode Dog outline a four-step mental pattern for self-sabotage, including how coaches attach setbacks to their identity and spiral into negative action. The solution: shift focus to learnings and gratitude, solidify a stronger self-identity, practice self-forgiveness, and set big, audacious goals to play bigger. The Power of the “Three Framework” The hosts explain why breaking concepts into sets of three—be it frameworks, leadership techniques, or messaging—enhances recall and action. Examples abound, from “lead gen, conversion, fulfillment” to Amazon's focus on “low prices, vast selection, fast delivery.” Zen and Humility in Business They discuss how humility is a superpower for entrepreneurs seeking long-term wealth and freedom—not just flashy material wins. Professionals focus on what could go wrong, guard their wealth, and aim for optionality, not just accumulation. Amateur vs. Pro Mindset Amateurs practice until they get it right; pros practice until they can't get it wrong. Thought patterns, decision-making, and actions must all level up for true mastery in business coaching. Leadership Through Threes CEO essentials: visual scoreboard, leverage, structure. Founders' three reflection questions: What don't I see? Where are my assumptions incorrect? What do I need to learn? Leadership in practice: Ask, listen, learn. Elon Musk and First Principles Thinking Break big problems into small parts and don't fear starting at the fundamental level—applicable for coaches needing to revamp their demo, offer, or client acquisition process. Vulnerability and Authenticity in Coaching Why trying to appear perfect hurts coaching conversions and authentic rapport; admitting flaws and sharing real stories is a conversion superpower. Notable Quotes “When you succeed, you party. When you fail, you ponder. There's a lot of money in pondering.” “You want your present to be better? You need to make your future bigger.” (attributed to Dan Sullivan) “Amateurs practice until they get it right, pros practice until they can't get it wrong.” “The person that comes across as too perfect… is the person that will screw you over 10x.” “Defense wins championships. Are you and your clients playing defense as well as offense?” Actionable Takeaways Rewire for Success: When facing setbacks, actively seek out lessons, practice gratitude, and attach positive, aspirational “I am” statements to your identity. Forgive yourself often and set bigger goals to avoid playing small. Harness the Power of Three: Break down complex strategies, presentations, or learning models into three key points for maximum retention and clarity. Examples: Lead Gen, Conversion, Fulfillment; Ask, Listen, Learn; Visual Scoreboard, Leverage, Structure. Practice Humility: Focus on optionality and long-term wealth, not just flashy success; stay humble, and aim to be trainable and open to learning like an investor rather than just a producer. Demonstrate Don't Explain: Develop and perfect a dynamic demonstration of your coaching value to secure clients—don't just rely on explanations. Prioritize Defense: Regularly assess risk, improve financial “defense,” and focus as much on wealth preservation as on new client acquisition. Embrace Vulnerability: Be authentic in your story and interactions—share failures as well as successes to build deeper client rapport and trust.

In this episode of Get It Seen: The Simplest Way to Accessible Design host Michelle Frechette and typography expert Piccia Neri discuss the vital role of typography in web accessibility. They explore how factors like font choice, size, alignment, kerning, and style impact readability and legibility for all users, including those with visual or neurological differences. The conversation highlights common pitfalls—such as using all caps, centered text, or decorative fonts—and offers practical tips for creating accessible, user-friendly content. Real-world examples underscore how thoughtful typography can improve user experience and even boost website conversions. The episode concludes with a preview of next week's focus on color and contrast.Top Takeaways:Typography Is More Than Just Fonts — It's a Core Element of Accessibility: Typography includes not only font choices but also layout, spacing, alignment, font weight, size, line height, tracking, and visual hierarchy. These elements together shape how readable and legible text is, directly affecting accessibility and user experience.Readability and Legibility Are Different, and Both Matter: Legibility is about how easily individual letters can be distinguished (e.g., clear letterforms, avoiding imposter letters like I/l/1). Readability refers to how easily blocks of text can be read and understood (e.g., proper line length, avoiding full justification, using appropriate spacing). Both need to be considered when designing for diverse users, including those with dyslexia or visual impairments.Alignment Strongly Impacts Usability and Conversion: Left-aligned text is significantly easier to read, especially online. Centered or poorly aligned text disrupts the reader's visual flow and can make content inaccessible.There Are No Universally "Perfect" Accessible Typefaces: Recommendations like "use sans-serif fonts" or “Arial is accessible” are oversimplified. Accessibility depends on how the typeface is used, whether it distinguishes similar characters clearly (e.g., capital I vs. lowercase L), and whether it's appropriate for your audience. Typefaces like Atkinson Hyperlegible are designed with accessibility in mind, but even these aren't universally preferred.Mentioned in the Show:Don't Make Me Think Book By Steve KrugAtkinson HyperlegibleSöhne Klim Type Foundry National Klim Type FoundryJosef AlbersAccessible typeface checklist – free resourceAccessible Typography 101 course – 30% discount code: PODCAST30Better Accessibility Through Typography Masterclass – 30% discount code: PODCAST30

In this conversation, I talk with clinical psychologist and author Dr. Naomi Fisher about self-directed education, and why it can be such a powerful approach for neurodivergent kids, especially those with a PDA profile. Naomi shares why agency is so important in learning, how traditional school can chip away at a child's self-worth, and what it looks like when we truly support demand-avoidant kids in ways that work for them. We also get into the challenges parents face when stepping outside the norm and why keeping the parent-child relationship at the center is key. About Dr. Naomi Fisher Dr. Naomi Fisher is a clinical psychologist who specialises in trauma, autism and alternative education. She is the author of several books including When the Naughty Step Makes Things Worse and the Teenager's Guide to Burnout. She runs webinars for parents and more of her work can be found at www.naomifisher.co.uk Things you'll learn from this episode Why agency in learning is essential for neurodivergent children to build confidence, reduce anxiety, and stay engaged How self-directed education supports children—especially those with PDA—by minimizing pressure and honoring their natural pace Why respecting a child's right to say no is foundational for creating a safe, trust-based learning environment How understanding the cycle of demand avoidance helps reframe “bad behavior” as a response to overwhelm, not defiance Why shifting away from rigid definitions of academic success can open the door to more authentic growth and capability How prioritizing the parent-child relationship and finding community support helps families confidently navigate less conventional paths Resources mentioned Dr. Naomi Fisher's website Naomi Fisher on Substack A Different Way to Learn by Naomi Fisher Eliza Fricker Talks About Parenting a Child with PDA (Tilt Parenting Podcast) Eliza Fricker's website The Family Experience of PDA by Eliza Fricker Eliza Fricker / Missing the Mark on Facebook Changing Our Minds: How Children Can Take Control of Their Own Learning by Naomi Fisher What Can We Do When School's Not Working: An Illustrated Handbook for Professionals by Naomi Fisher Dr. Ross Greene's Collaborative and Proactive Solutions Model Learn more about your ad choices.
