Podcasts about Regulation

Today's Big Picture panel focuses on the crypto markets, with Charles Schwab's Jim Ferraioli pointing to resilience where equities slumped. He believes a bottoming pattern has formed in Bitcoin supported by a rebound in ETF inflows, though he makes the case to "not be very bullish" quite yet. Jim turns to how the SEC and CFTC are updating their views on crypto regulation as a possible sign of support for crypto bulls.======== Schwab Network ========Empowering every investor and trader, every market day.Options involve risks and are not suitable for all investors.

As artificial intelligence becomes a strategic capability for nations as well as companies, questions of governance, safety, and geopolitical competition are moving to the forefront. In this episode of TechSurge, host Sriram Viswanathan speaks with Helen Toner, Interim Executive Director of the Center for Security and Emerging Technology (CSET) at Georgetown and a former OpenAI board member, about the rise of sovereign AI stacks and the global implications of increasingly powerful AI systems.Helen brings a rare vantage point from both inside the frontier AI ecosystem and the policy world. She reflects on lessons from her time on the OpenAI board, including the governance challenges that arise when nonprofit missions intersect with enormous commercial incentives and rapid technological progress. As AI capabilities accelerate, she argues that the industry is still grappling with deep uncertainty about how these systems work, how they will evolve, and what responsibilities companies and governments should carry.The conversation explores the idea of sovereign AI; the growing push by countries to control key layers of the AI stack, including compute infrastructure, models, and data. Helen explains why governments increasingly view AI as a strategic national resource, comparable to past transformative technologies like electricity or the internet. At the same time, she cautions that full technological independence may be unrealistic for most nations, given the complexity and global interdependence of the AI supply chain.Sriram and Helen also examine the evolving US–China AI competition, the role of export controls and semiconductor supply chains, and how different countries, from China to emerging AI hubs in the Middle East, are positioning themselves in the race to build advanced AI capabilities. Along the way, they discuss whether the industry should slow down development, how companies are experimenting with “safety frameworks” for frontier models, and why installing guardrails may be more realistic than attempting to halt progress altogether.Ultimately, Helen argues that society is entering a period of profound uncertainty. AI is transitioning from a research discipline into a foundational system that will shape economies, security, and daily life. Navigating that transition will require not just technical breakthroughs, but new approaches to governance, transparency, and global cooperation.If you enjoy this episode, please subscribe and leave us a review on your favorite podcast platform.Sign up for our newsletter at techsurgepodcast.com for updates on upcoming TechSurge Live Summits and future Season 2 episodes.--Episode LinksConnect with Helen: linkedin.com/in/helen-toner-4162439aLearn more about CSET: https://cset.georgetown.edu/--Timestamps03:00 Lessons from the OpenAI Board: Governance in the Age of Frontier AI05:00 The Big Unknowns in AI Development: Why Experts Still Disagree12:05 Public Trust and the Risk of an AI Backlash14:20 When AI Became Infrastructure: From Research Field to Societal System16:00 Is AGI a Meaningless Term Now?

Okay so it seems that episode 148 hasn't actually gone up yet. So I will do that later. Yes, 148 goes before 149 but we are post modern and cool like that. And hey, now you can liten to episode 148 and know HKJ is wrong instead of wondering if he will be wrong. Hindsight is 20/20 indeed. This AI slop is brought to you by Copilot 'premium' which is the one that makes the talky guns and tracky cameras. Episode summaryA non‑news episode that examines personal media habits, the shifting political spectrum (using the ABC Vote Compass), the economics of modern journalism, social platforms and the disruptive risks and benefits of AI — plus a run through books, magazines, streamers and sport. The hosts compare how they start the day, which outlets they trust, and how AI is already changing creative and legal work. Key theme: media survival depends on business models, editorial craft and sensible regulation of new technologies.“Well, g'day listeners and welcome once again to the Two Jacks. We've got a slightly different program today for you. We're not going to cover the news. We're going to cover media and who we like in it and and the pressures that are on media at the moment, where that all might lead to, the role of social media, AI, et cetera.”.Show notes with timestamps (all timestamps shifted +25 seconds to allow for theme music)- 00:00:25 — Intro & episode focus — Hosts set out the plan: a media‑focused episode rather than the usual news rundown.- 00:01:47 — Political identity & background — Hong Kong Jack describes his political journey (centre‑left, former Socialist Left faction).- 00:03:38 — On the “well‑trodden path” — Discussion of how political views used to shift with age and why that pattern is changing for younger voters.- 00:06:54 — ABC Vote Compass exercise — Jack completes the Vote Compass and they discuss how algorithms and question framing shape results.- 00:21:08 — Vote Compass results & interpretation — Jack's alignment scores (e.g., 75% with Coalition, 54% with Labor, 20% with Greens) and the hosts' take on what that means.- 00:27:13 — Daily media routines — What each host reads and listens to first thing (newspapers, RN, X/Twitter scans, US/UK outlets).

Today we're looking at New York City, and specifically at the combined impact of two policies associated with Mayor Mamdani's housing agenda, a rent freeze on rent-stabilized apartments and a proposed 9.5% increase in property taxes.Now separately, each of these policies is a political choice. Together, they become something more serious. They become a stress test of whether private ownership still means private ownership, or whether ownership has been reduced to a set of obligations without the corresponding rights.This is not just an economic question. It is also a constitutional one.-------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)

Regulation starts with you, not your child. In this conversation, I talk with Lisa Candera, single mom of a now-adult son with autism, profound OCD, and anxiety, about what it actually means to "regulate yourself first." Lisa shares how a long stretch of crisis during the pandemic pushed her to the edge and forced her to find ways to stay grounded in the middle of 911 calls, hospitalizations, and daily meltdowns. We unpack what regulation looks like in real life—pausing instead of rushing in, counting a three-out-of-ten success rate as a huge win, and getting honest about the stories that drive our reactions, especially the "I am failing my child" soundtrack. Lisa talks about turning her parked car into a "car office" for safety and space, setting clear boundaries around aggression, and shifting from lecturing in the moment to making a plan when everyone is calmer. We also talk about raising teens with big emotions and neurodivergent brains. Lisa names the pressure parents feel to foster independence, the fear of "enabling," and the reality that a fifteen-year-old with autism may not be developmentally fifteen. Together we explore scaffolding, praising effort and emerging skills, and holding a both-and: your child is struggling, and you deserve support and compassion too. Key Takeaways Regulation starts with you, not your child. Lisa describes regulation as moving from constantly losing your temper to feeling more grounded and able to respond. You don't have to be calm all the time—small shifts in your reactions can dramatically change the dynamic. A three-out-of-ten success rate is already a big deal. Instead of expecting yourself to get it right every time, Lisa suggests aiming for three regulated responses out of ten. Those moments might happen within minutes, and they still count. Pausing interrupts the automatic pattern. The urge to fix or lecture right away is strong. Even a brief pause can interrupt the usual pattern between you and your child and give you space to choose something different. Your triggers are about you, not just your child's behavior. Lisa discovered that many of her reactions were driven by fear and the belief that she was failing her son. Naming those stories helped her respond with more flexibility and compassion. You can change the dance by changing your part. Parents and kids often fall into predictable interaction patterns. When Lisa shifted how she responded—sometimes leaving the apartment instead of engaging—the pattern changed. Boundaries can include creative safety plans. During COVID, Lisa's plan sometimes involved leaving the apartment and sitting in her car when her son became aggressive. She reframed it as a temporary strategy rather than a failure. Thoughts like "this is an emergency" can escalate things. Parents' nervous systems often interpret big emotions as danger. Expanding your tolerance for discomfort can help you respond to what's actually happening. Scaffolding is not the same as enabling. Developmental level and anxiety matter. Sometimes making a task easier is what allows progress in other areas. Notice and name what your child does well. Highlighting everyday successes helps children internalize the belief that they can do hard things. You are not the baseline for how everyone else should be. Letting go of "I am the standard" creates more room for difference and helps you relate to your child as the person they are. About Lisa Candera Lisa Candera is a single mom of a teen with severe autism and OCD, an attorney, ADHD-er, and the autism mom coach behind The Autism Mom Coach. She helps parents of autistic children learn to regulate themselves first so they can show up for their kids with more calm, compassion, and confidence. Lisa hosts The Autism Mom Podcast, contributes to Autism Parenting Magazine, and presents on parental self-care, emotional regulation, and meltdown de-escalation strategies.

In this episode of the Innovations and Clinical Implementation podcast recorded at LongevityFest 2025, hosts Dr. Lexi Gonzales and Tom Blue explore the frontier of liposomal peptide therapy with Dr. Christopher Shade—the founder and CEO of Quicksilver Scientific and an internationally recognized expert on environmental toxicants who pioneered the use of lipid-based nanoparticle delivery systems. Dr. Shade argues that "inflammaging" and endotoxemia often block the efficacy of standard hormone therapies by downregulating receptors, and he advocates for using specific liposomal peptides like BPC-157, KPV, and Thymulin to break these inflammatory cycles and reverse "fatty thymus." The conversation details how intraoral nanoliposomes utilize membrane fusion to achieve high intracellular uptake, offering practitioners a compliant, scalable method to transition from symptom-chasing "personalized medicine" to upstream "precision medicine" that rapidly seals the gut and resets immune resilience.   For access to episode resources, click HERE.

Episode SummaryIn this third episode of the March basketball series, Molly shares transparently about a recent three-week stretch of travel that disrupted her Mostly Alcohol-Free rhythm.With retreats, vacation, conferences, disrupted sleep, and limited access to her usual alternatives, she drifted from her typical low-risk limits and had fewer alcohol-free days than usual.Instead of spiraling, she chose to rebound.This episode explores the neuroscience of short-term pattern shifts, why regulation comes before restriction, and how to interrupt a streak without shame. Molly shares her real-time rebound plan — including five alcohol-free days this week — and what she'll do differently next time.Drifting happens.Rebounding builds self-trust.In This EpisodeWhy travel and novelty increase dopamineThe impact of sleep disruption on regulationHow environment shapes drinking behaviorWhy streaks strengthen neural pathwaysThe difference between drifting and spiralingWhy curiosity regulates and shame dysregulatesMolly's five-day rebound planKey TakeawaysDrift is human.Regulation comes first.Interrupting a streak restores flexibility.Pre-decision reduces in-the-moment choices.You are defined by your response, not your slip.ReflectionIf you've drifted recently, ask yourself:What contributed to it?What would your rebound look like this week?What can you pre-decide next time?Work With MollyLearn more at:www.mollywatts.comOr email: molly@mollywatts.comLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

You swore you'd parent differently—so why does your mother's voice slip out in hard moments? In this episode on how to stop reacting like your parents did, you'll learn how calming your nervous system breaks generational patterns. With decades of expertise in Regulation First Parenting™, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge guides parents toward lasting emotional change. You had every intention of doing things differently—yet in heated moments, old patterns take over. If you're wondering how to stop reacting like your parents did, you're not alone.In this episode, we explore how to stop reacting like your parents did. It's not about willpower—it's about your nervous system. When you calm it, you can finally break generational cycles for good.Why Do I React Like My Parents Even When I Swore I Wouldn't?You didn't just observe your parents' behavior—you absorbed it. Your nervous system learned what control, safety, and love looked like in your own childhood.If yelling meant control, your body may react automatically with anger. If silence meant safety, you may shut down when your child is upset.These patterns live in the body—not just memory.When your child slams a door or talks back, it's not just about their behavior. It can trigger something from your past. Before your brain can choose a response, your emotional brain fires.That's why you hear those words come out of your mouth and think, “I hate that I sound like my mother.”This is the moment of awareness. And awareness is powerful.

Meet Kevin Sutherland of SI Delivery Consulting Kevin Sutherland is doing bold things to bring agile methods to large-scale government. He went from early days with Accenture, through first-hand experience with waterfall and the pitfalls of massive system delivery, to founding his own company focused on state-level innovation. Kevin isn't just theorizing about agile transformation, he's in the trenches, dealing with resistance, bureaucratic inertia, and public stakeholder pushback. Kevin discusses what makes public sector agile so distinct and challenging. What are the unique obstacles in government (political incentives, captive user bases, absence of commercial profit motives) that make scaling agile so complex? Regulation, oversight, legacy systems, and decades of policy layering are persistent blockers that most commercial agilists rarely encounter. Many true agile practitioners just avoid or walk away from government environments, choosing not to engage because the culture or ecosystem isn't receptive. You’ll hear what Kevin is actually testing and using in a time when agile has become a dirty word in many orgs, and how he finds ways to deliver value without strictly using “agile” terminology or dogma. You’ll hear about the incremental approach and the transformational strategies he's developing in Minnesota. You’ll also learn about the tension between short-term, emergency-driven bursts of agility and the longer, harder work of organizational transformation. His strategy in action starts with outcome-focused use cases, and creating a safe, incubator environment for experimentation to enable change without risking the status quo. Getting buy-in from the willing, finding pockets of urgency, and managing vendor relationships in environments where incentive structures aren't naturally aligned are some of the ongoing challenges. Underlying everything is the growing pace of technological change, especially with AI reshaping expectations about speed and delivery. It’s difficult to know what agile principles look like when roles themselves are changing, and the fundamental problems aren't getting better on their own. There are never simple answers, but Kevin’s work will give you a clearer sense of the complicated, often contradictory world of government agile and why persistence, honesty, and outcome orientation matter so much.

In this episode, I sit with spiritual teacher, Blaise Kennedy, to explore Developmental Architecture; a relational, body-centered approach to healing and awakening.Blaise explains how presence and co-regulation (being with another who truly listens) accelerate healing, allowing stored developmental material to be felt, released, and integrated rather than replayed as triggers. We discuss how trauma creates adaptive strategies of disconnection, and how consistent, attuned relationships can progressively rewrite those patterns.Blaise shares practical guidance for cultivating emotional awareness when you don't have an ideal support system: cultivate curiosity, practice returning attention to the body, and seek fields of care that model safety.He clarifies why intellectual understanding isn't enough and offers metaphors and simple practices to begin sensing your body history;from noticing where energy is held to tracing the source of recurring reactions.Whether you're new to embodiment work or deepening an existing practice, this episode offers a clear roadmap for moving from self-reliance to interdependence and reclaiming your presence.To learn more about Blaise's work and to connect with him, click here

A lot of people quit drinking expecting to feel calmer. You think sobriety is going to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and make life feel more stable. It does… eventually. But for a while, many people experience the opposite. You feel on edge for no clear reason. Small things overwhelm you. You're exhausted but can't fully relax. Your sleep is inconsistent, your emotions are intense, and stress hits harder than it used to. And this is where people start to wonder if something is wrong, or worse, if alcohol was actually helping. Years of drinking trained your body to live in a constant state of stress. In this episode, we're going to talk about what alcohol actually does to the nervous system, why sobriety can feel so dysregulating at first, and how your brain and body relearn safety over time.

He joins host Trace Blackmore to discuss how rigorous research, regulatory compliance and process automation translate into practical field work for industrial water treatment professionals. From PhD Research to Industrial Practice Jake's academic background informs the way he approaches operations. While completing his PhD he investigated how to recover resources from wastewater permits, synthesizing municipal data with bench‑scale testing. Today he draws on that experience to design treatment systems and advise customers on cooling‑tower and boiler chemistry. He emphasizes long‑term efficiency: spending a little extra time or money now can save much more later. This mentality helps him balance the competing demands of design, installation, sales and service, and underscores Hydro flow's support for continuing education. Balancing Service, Sales and Efficiency No two days look alike for Jake. One week he is calibrating pH probes, inspecting cooling towers and designing dosing skids; the next he is troubleshooting filtration systems or negotiating wastewater discharge limits. To stay ahead of his schedule, he deliberately "drags things as early as possible" and completes visits well before month‑end. Jake uses the iPhone Reminders app to tag tasks by site, service type and system; location triggers ensure he never forgets critical parts. He advocates automating routine reports and allowing generative AI to massage field notes into professional correspondence, provided every line is double‑checked for accuracy. Even at the end of a long day, tools such as ChatGPT help him strike the right tone in customer emails. Regulation, Training and Risk Management Jake contrasts cooling‑tower regulation in Australia with the more fragmented approach in the United States. In Victoria every tower must be registered, documented and sampled on a schedule; non‑compliance leads to fines. The risk management plan – the term used in Australia for what many Americans call a water management plan – is a comprehensive document containing details of the cooling tower, associated chillers and a unique registration number. Australian practitioners follow the AS/NZS 3666 standard, and third‑party RMP reviews and audits are annual requirements. Jake notes that an equivalent certification does not yet exist for international candidates seeking the Certified Water Technologist designation, although metric‑based exams may be under consideration. Sales, Communication and Mentorship Serving existing customers often means identifying the real decision drivers. Jake categorizes site priorities – cost reduction, profit increase, ease of use and product quality – and tailors proposals accordingly. He maintains open communication with influencers while gently probing approval limits, sometimes splitting quotes so that local managers can sign off without escalating requests. Mentorship is both a given and a goal: Hydro flow holds monthly meetings where technicians, account managers and production staff share problems and solutions, allowing juniors to benefit from seasoned expertise. Jake encourages newcomers to simply "do it" – the blend of hands‑on work, autonomy and flexibility makes industrial water treatment a rewarding career. In his lightning‑round advice he urges his younger self to be selective about commitments and to automate early. Dr. Jake Elliott demonstrates that a rigorous scientific background and a passion for efficiency translate into better service, improved compliance and happier customers. His tips on process automation, risk management and sales communication help water professionals navigate a complex landscape while maintaining work–life balance.

Dr. Dan reconnects with his very first podcast guest(!) veteran educator and special education advocate Larry Davis to explore what it truly means to teach—and lead—in today's world. Drawing from more than four decades in education across 11 school districts, Larry shares insights from his new book, The Happy Camper Classroom, and reframes teaching as one of the most demanding leadership roles in our society. Today's educators are not simply delivering curriculum—they are first responders, social workers, emotional anchors, and architects of belonging. At the heart of this episode is a powerful truth: learning cannot happen without safety, connection, and regulation. Larry explains why compliance is no longer the glue that holds classrooms together—and what must replace it. Through resilience, self-awareness, compassion, and authentic connection, teachers can create environments where students feel safe, valued, and empowered. This conversation extends beyond education and is for every age and every stage of life. Dr. Dan and Larry's discussion about leadership, personal growth, and the courage to look inward will inspire and enlighten listeners.  When we shift from a reactive mindset to a resilient one we can embrace discomfort as a pathway to growth.  For more information please visit www.thehappycamperclassroom.com and www.specialeducationadvocacy.org.  Contact Larry ldavissped at gmail dot com.

This week, I had the pleasure of speaking with my colleagues, Carla N. Hutton, Senior Regulatory Analyst for B&C, and Lindsay A. Holden, Ph.D., DABT, Senior Toxicologist/Regulatory Scientist for B&C and The Acta Group (Acta®), our consulting affiliate. We discuss the relentless pace of state per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) regulations. For those expecting a slowdown, think again. Perhaps in response to perceived inaction at the federal level, over half the states are engaged in PFAS notification and restriction regulations. This is unsurprising. Perhaps what is surprising is how different state restrictions are and how difficult it is to prepare for and understand how to comply with each. We seek to lessen the confusion by discussing the state of PFAS restrictions, focusing on key state differences, and offering a few tips on staying ahead of the PFAS curve.

As artificial intelligence becomes a key part of national infrastructure, developers across the United States are rushing to build large data centers in many regions. Many of these areas haven't seen this level of industrial growth in decades, and these projects appear to bring the promise of jobs and economic growth to communities that need it. Despite the potential for renewed prosperity, local residents are opposing data centers. Most cite environmental impacts and increasing energy costs as major concerns. Are these worries based in reality? If not, where are they originating from, and how can we address these narratives?To discuss this, I am joined by Lynne Kiesling and Steve DelBianco. Lynne is a nonresident senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, where she leads the Electricity Technology, Regulation, and Market Design Working Group. She also directs the Institute for Regulatory Law and Economics at the Northwestern University Center on Law, Business, and Economics, and is a member of the US Department of Energy's Electricity Advisory Committee. Steve is the president and CEO of NetChoice, where he collaborates with its members to protect online free enterprise and free expression. He is a seasoned expert on internet governance.

After many years of living in the higher realms of awareness, Ashley shares what it has felt like to come back down into the body and into the earth. In this personal update episode, she reflects on the past week of releasing the new A Line Within website, the first version of the site she truly feels proud of, and the deeper shift that occurred through the process. For the first time, she experienced what real nervous system regulation feels like in action. Not constant calm, but the natural rhythm between movement and rest. Knowing when to take action. Knowing when nothing more is required. Ashley explores how intuition actually moves through the body when the nervous system is regulated, and how this creates a completely different way of living and creating. She also shares reflections on a powerful meteor event seen over their home in British Columbia, the arrival of early spring, and the profound transformation she has experienced through the North Node work she is currently teaching. Two spaces remain in the current North Node journey, and Ashley shares why this work has been so meaningful in her own life. This episode is a reflection on embodiment, intuition, and what becomes possible when we return fully to ourselves. ********** Our New A Line Within Website! 2 Spots Left for the North Node - Sign Up Here Attend Ashley's Equinox New Moon Session Awaken Your Inner Guide in our GUIDED Membership  How to do The Line Activation ALN Live Events through March Book a Journey Home Akashic Records Reading with Faith Sign Up for Our Newsletter and Enter to Win a Free Year in GUIDED Download the A Line Within App for iOS Download the A Line Within App for Android Follow on Instagram @alnwithin and TikTok @alnwithin

Overwhelmed by your kid's meltdowns, tantrums and big reactions? When outbursts keep repeating, it's not bad parenting—it's a stressed nervous system. In this episode, Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™ and childhood emotional dysregulation, shows you how to calm the brain first and create lasting change.So many parents come to me feeling overwhelmed, walking on eggshells, bracing for the next explosion. When your child's meltdowns happen over and over, it creates fear, frustration, and emotional exhaustion.When meltdowns keep happening despite your best efforts, it's not bad parenting. It's nervous system overload. In this episode, I'll show you why tantrums repeat—and how to calm the brain first.Why do my child's meltdowns keep happening no matter what I try?Most parents think if they just find the right consequence, reward, or script, they can stop tantrums. But meltdowns aren't logic problems—they're biology.When stress spikes:The amygdala hijacks the brainStress hormones surgeThe thinking brain goes offlineNo reasoning. No listening. No learning.From the outside, it looks like defiance or a power struggle. Inside, your child's nervous system feels threat, loss of control, or sensory overload.It's not about effort—it's about order.Why do I feel so overwhelmed by my kid's meltdowns?Repeated tantrums and meltdowns create hypervigilance. You start anticipating the next explosion before it happens. That dread? It's real. Two dysregulated nervous systems in one home feels like chaos—because it is.You may notice:Emotional exhaustionBracing before transitionsFeeling overwhelmed even during calm momentsThis isn't weakness. It's biology.Here's the truth: You can't calm a child if your own nervous system is in fight-or-flight. Your regulation is the intervention.Why doesn't punishing or lecturing stop tantrums?You can't consequence your way out of a nervous system meltdown.Time outs. Threats. Removing screen time. Lectures. Most families try these. But during child's tantrums, executive functioning isn't accessible.No regulation = no access to problem-solving skills.That's why managing tantrums mid-explosion rarely works.Instead:Regulate first—you, not themDrop your shouldersTake deep breathsSoften your toneKids borrow your calm before they build their own.How can I stop tantrums before they explode?Here's where change happens: the yellow light, not the red.Meltdowns don't start with screaming. They start with:IrritabilityRigidityWhiningAvoidanceZoning outThese are clues about your child's triggers.Ask:Is there sensory overload?Are transitions abrupt?Is sleep solid?Is their stress cup already full?It's all about the total stress load. You shrink tantrums and meltdowns by lowering baseline stress, not by controlling behavior.

Innovation Under Pressure: Prefab, Modular, and the Future of Resilient Design Under Pressure. Architecture is evolving faster than ever, driven by natural disasters, technology, and client expectations—but how do designers balance innovation with risk, regulation, and lifestyle priorities? Josh Cooperman hosts an unfiltered conversation with Drew Davis, Brian Pinkett, Aaron Neubert, and Joseph Dangaran about prefabrication, modular construction, client programming, and the challenges of rebuilding communities in fire- and flood-prone regions. From the Palisades to Paris, they explore how architecture must adapt—or risk falling behind. 1. Introduction and Context Host introduction: Josh Cooperman, Convo By Design. Acknowledgements: Kim Gordon Designs (venue), Pacific Sales Kitchen & Home (sponsor and industry supporter). Why the discussion matters: natural disasters as a case study in architecture's evolving role. Personal anecdote: Josh's wildfire experience in 1983 highlighting the urgency of resilient design. 2. Guest Introductions Drew Davis, Partner, Kligerman Architecture & Design, NYC – Residential expertise nationwide. Brian Pinkett, Principal, Landry Design Group – High-end, global custom homes, with focus on innovation and sustainability. Aaron Neubert, Principal, Annex – Residential and hospitality projects in LA & Las Vegas. Joseph Dangaran, Founding Partner, Woods & Dangaran– West Coast single-family homes, high-end interiors. 3. Critical Thinking vs. Design Education Discussion of Brian Pinkett's insight: architecture school teaches critical thinking, not design itself. How critical thinking shapes the conversation about innovation and client expectations. The influence of NIMBYism and cultural resistance on design risk-taking. 4. Client Literacy and Innovation How clients' exposure to Instagram, travel, and boutique experiences shapes design expectations. Balancing aspirational ideas with practical constraints: budget, schedule, site conditions. Scenario-based design and programming as a tool to understand lifestyle priorities. 5. Prefabrication and Modular Construction Defining terms: prefabrication vs. modular, and their misconceptions in high-end architecture. Historical examples: Eiffel Tower (prefabricated in 1889), Wallace Neff bubble homes. Case studies: past Malibu prefab project, Arts District hotel project. Discussion of benefits (speed, quality, cost) and challenges (flexibility, client acceptance, perception). 6. Lifestyle vs. Shelter in Rebuilds How trauma and loss after disasters impact client priorities. The tension between rebuilding for necessity vs. recreating lifestyle and memory. Temporary housing solutions and lessons from disaster response (Shigeru Ban, Fresno pre-approved plans). 7. The Role of Regulation in Innovation Flood, fire, and safety regulations: both barriers and catalysts for creativity. Discussion of over-regulation and its impact on rebuilding efficiency, particularly in high-demand areas like Pacific Palisades. 8. The Future of Architectural Innovation Emerging materials, prefabrication, and modular design for high-end custom homes. How technology enables flexibility and quality at scale. The challenge of evolving architectural vernacular to reflect contemporary technology. The importance of balancing client desires, regulatory frameworks, and architectural creativity. 9. Closing Thoughts Necessity drives invention, but adaptation and education are key. Designers' role in guiding clients through uncertainty and risk. Encouragement to rethink traditional paradigms: innovation in practice, materials, and process. 10. Callouts / Quotes for Social Media “Innovation isn't about change for change's sake—it's about solving the problem you didn't know existed.” – Brian Pinkett “Prefabrication isn't a compromise. It's a new way to design for speed, quality, and scale.” – Aaron Neubert “The goal isn't just shelter. The goal is lifestyle.” – Joseph Dangaran 11.

In this episode, Erica shares the story of how bringing a new puppy home became a lesson in rebuilding self-trust, quieting decision fatigue, and learning how to recognize the right decision without forcing it. What starts as a puppy story turns into a deeper conversation about inner guidance, emotional clarity, and the difference between chasing an answer versus calmly knowing what's true.You'll Learn: Self-trust is rebuilt by listening to your own signals. Erica walks through what it looked like to stop overriding herself and start paying attention to what felt calm, clear, and aligned.Decision fatigue is a sign to pause, not push harder. When a choice starts to feel muddy, frantic, or overcomplicated, that can be the cue to step back and go general again.The right decision often feels calm, not chaotic. Erica describes how the path toward Maize felt easy, safe, and flowing once she stopped forcing outcomes that didn't fit.Inner guidance becomes clearer when your nervous system is regulated. You can't hear your truth clearly when everything feels urgent. Regulation creates the space to discern what's fear and what's real.You have to line yourself up with the decisions you need to make. Clarity doesn't always come from thinking harder. Sometimes it comes from creating the internal alignment to recognize what is actually right for you.We Talk About: 00:05 — Meet Maize01:43 — When Decision Fatigue Hits04:05 — Knowing There Was No Capacity06:24 — Getting Clear on What Matters08:16 — The Holding Pattern Ends10:42 — Wrong Turns and Red Flags13:05 — When the Signs Got Loud15:17 — The Secret, the Deposit, the Momentum17:37 — Why Trusting Yourself Feels So Hard20:03 — The Difference Between Forcing and Knowing22:30 — Manifesting Through Your Guidance System24:54 — Rebuilding With Focus and TrustLinks Mentioned in the ShowThe New You Blueprint - Coming March 25th!Divorce doesn't just end a relationship.

There's so much content out there about healing childhood trauma. And I'm here to tell you, from my heart to yours — it's a bitch. It's messy. It's long. It's layered. And even those of us who teach this work still cry, still get triggered, and still move through it in real time.In this episode, I share the four stages of healing that I teach my clients — and how they directly mirror what secure attachment in childhood was supposed to provide. Because the truth is, most of us didn't get what we needed. And now we get to learn how to offer that to ourselves.We explore reconnecting to sensations when you've been dissociated for years, what nervous system regulation actually means (and why so much of what's said online misses the point), how to feel emotions safely instead of suppressing them, how to recognize and meet your needs without shame, and why desire is often the most terrifying and liberating layer of all.This is not a quick fix episode. This is an honest one. Healing is not about becoming calm and never feeling anything again. It's about building the capacity to feel deeply and stay safe while you do.If you've ever wondered why this work feels so hard, why expressing yourself feels dangerous, or why asking for what you want feels like risking abandonment — this episode will help you understand the layers.Here is your free Triggers Practice-> Trigger to Rooted: A step-by-step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted WORK WITH ME 1:1:❥Softening into self- 3 month 1:1 with Whats App Support:https://marina-yt.mykajabi.com/offers/PAWQhZHu❥❥1:1 Coaching with me: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfWcZM5s9c2OjOLwoGMI5jE6rh_JAzjN2d_vCtuVe7e3pVGxw/viewformDOWNLOAD FOR FREE:Stay or Go: 5 Clarity Questions to Reconnect with Your Inner Knowing: https://marinayt.com/stay-or-go-guideAttachment Practice: Discover the actual blocks beneath the surface so you can actually have the deep intimacy you crave: https://marinayt.com/attachment-practice Connect & Ground: 10 Incredible Somatic Practices for Nervous System Regulation: https://marinayt.com/connect-and-groundAlive & Aligned: 7 Embodiment Practices For Self Connection: https://marinayt.com/alive-and-alignedTrigger to Rooted: A step by step process of working with your triggers: https://marinayt.com/trigger-2-rooted VIEW MY COURSES & RESOURCES:https://marinayt.com/resources#/ CONNECT WITH  ME:Follow me on Instagram:⁠ ⁠www.instagram.com/marina.y.t⁠⁠ Subscribe to YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/@marinatriner Top Episode Quotes:“There's a lot of content out there on healing childhood trauma, and I'm here to tell you that it's a bitch.”“Regulation is not feeling calm all the time.

In today's episode of Advice My Friends Ignored, Audrey dives into how arguments don't destroy relationships. Unrepaired ruptures do.In this episode, she talks about what it actually takes to repair after conflict through the three pillars of repair:Regulation: calming the nervous system so we can respond instead of reactCommunication: expressing truth while still holding space for the other personResponsibility: owning our impact and rebuilding trust through accountabilityBecause real intimacy isn't about avoiding conflict; it's about learning how to come back together afterward.To work with Audrey 1:1, book a discovery call here:https://www.audreybrothers.com/coaching

Save 20% on all Nuzest Products WORLDWIDE with the code MIKKIPEDIA at www.nuzest.co.nz, www.nuzest.com.au or www.nuzest.comThis week on the podcast, Mikki speaks to Dr. Eric Ravussin, one of the world's leading researchers in human metabolism, obesity, and energy balance. Over several decades, Dr. Ravussin's work has helped reshape how scientists think about body weight regulation, moving the conversation beyond the simplistic idea of “calories in versus calories out” to a deeper understanding of the biology that governs appetite, energy expenditure, and fat storage.In this conversation, Mikki and Eric explore the brain's role in regulating body weight, the influence of genetics and environment, and what his landmark research — including work with the Pima population and the CALERIE trial — has revealed about metabolic adaptation, calorie restriction, and longevity. They also discuss spontaneous physical activity, the concept of a body-weight “settling point,” and the emerging role of GLP-1 medications in obesity treatment. It's a fascinating look at the physiology of weight regulation and why maintaining weight loss is often far more complex than most people realise.About Dr. Eric RavussinDr. Eric Ravussin is an internationally recognised researcher in metabolism, obesity, and energy balance.

Struggling to understand your child's ups and downs? This episode uncovers what's really driving your dysregulated child's meltdowns, anxiety, and focus struggles, giving parents clear insight and tools from Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, expert in Regulation First Parenting™ and childhood emotional dysregulation.Many parents ask, what's really driving your dysregulated child's meltdowns anxiety and focus struggles? The answer isn't bad behavior. It's a stressed nervous system stuck in survival mode.I unveil The Dysregulated Kid, my parenting playbook rooted in nervous system regulation. After three decades as a mental health professional, I want to emphasize: we must stop chasing separate labels and start calming the child's nervous system first.Why does my child have meltdowns, anxiety, and focus problems all at once?Parents are often told these are separate issues—ADHD, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety, mood swings. But what if your child's meltdowns, emotional dysregulation, and focus struggles are signals from the same activated child's brain?When stress hormones stay elevated, the nervous system shifts into fight or flight mode. The amygdala goes on high alert, and the prefrontal cortex—the part responsible for impulse control, problem solving, and emotional regulation skills—goes offline.That's when you see:Emotional meltdowns over small requestsSensory overload and strong feelingsPoor impulse controlDifficulty starting tasksPublic meltdowns that feel confusing and exhaustingIt's not defiance. It's a child whose nervous system is overwhelmed.What's happening in my child's brain during intense meltdowns?During childhood meltdowns, stress hormones like cortisol surge. In sympathetic overdrive, your child cannot access coping skills or manage emotions effectively.Meltdowns happen when the nervous system loses flexibility. The brain gets stuck in survival mode. Over time, ongoing stress creates patterns of chronic stress that won't resolve without intervention.Signs your child may be overstimulated:Intense reactions and emotional outburstsTrouble settling at nightRigidity and control battlesAnxiety loops and worrySigns of an understimulated pattern:Shutdown or avoidanceSchool refusalMood stabilizers not improving focusProcrastination or appearing “lazy”Both patterns are nervous system issues—not character flaws.If you're not sure whether your child is stuck in an over- or under-stimulated pattern, Quick CALM can help you figure it out fast. Why doesn't discipline or medication fix emotional dysregulation?Many children are treated with pressure, punishment, or medication when behavior escalates. But treating overstimulation with discipline increases stress. Treating underactivation with pressure deepens withdrawal.Stress worsens emotional regulation and emotional resilience. It impacts learning, self regulation, and even long-term mental health.I want to remind parents:This is a capacity issue, not a compliance issue.You must lower stress before layering skills.Nervous system regulation comes before behavior change.You can't teach regulation skills to a child whose brain is in fight or flight mode.If you're tired of walking on eggshells or feeling like nothing works…Get the FREE Regulation Rescue Kit and finally learn what to say and do in the heat of the moment.Become a Dysregulation Insider VIP at www.drroseann.com/newsletter and take the first step to a calmer home.How can I help my dysregulated child calm down?Let's calm the brain first.Practical proactive strategies include:Deep breathing and breathing exercises togetherGentle pressure and deep pressure hugsRhythmic movement or physical activityCreating a quiet space during challenging momentsConsistent routines and clear expectationsModeling remaining calm with a calm voiceWhen a meltdown occurs:Take a deep breath yourselfLower demands temporarilyOffer sensory integration toolsFocus on connection before correctionYour regulated presence helps your child calm. When you regulate your own nervous system, you help children develop emotional regulation skills.

In this episode Andrea Samadi welcomes back Dr. David Stephens to explore his new book, The Glucose Protocol, and the science showing how targeted glucose can restore brain function, improve mental clarity, and reduce symptoms linked to diabetes, autoimmune disorders, and chronic stress. They break down the difference between glucose and other sweeteners, explain why the brain prioritizes survival over higher-order thinking during stress, and share practical strategies—like on-the-spot glucose dosing—to regain focus and cognitive performance. Dr. Stephens also discusses biomarkers, clinical observations, and upcoming practical products to make brain refueling easy, offering hopeful, science-based approaches to restore long-term brain health. Watch interview on YouTube here https://youtu.be/zv70S5fZh2I Today's EP 388 we're welcoming Dr. Stephens back to the podcast to explore: The difference between glucose and other sugars Why blood sugar and brain glucose matter for cognitive performance What his newest research is revealing about brain restoration And how we can think more clearly about nutrition and brain health moving forward. Welcome back to Season 15 of the Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast. I'm Andrea Samadi, and here we bridge the science behind social and emotional learning, emotional intelligence, and practical neuroscience—so we can create measurable improvements in well-being, achievement, productivity, and results. When we launched this podcast seven years ago, it was driven by a question I had never been taught to ask— not in school, not in business, and not in life: If results matter—and they matter now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make these results happen? Most of us were taught what to do. Very few of us were taught how to think under pressure, how to regulate emotion, how to sustain motivation, or even how to produce consistent results without burning out. That question led me into a deep exploration of the mind–brain–results connection—and how neuroscience applies to everyday decisions, conversations, and performance. That's why this podcast exists. Each week, we bring you leading experts to break down complex science and translate it into practical strategies that we can all apply immediately. When the brain, body, and emotions are aligned, performance stops feeling forced—and starts to feel sustainable. Season 14 showed us what alignment looks like in real life. We looked at goals and mental direction, rewiring the brain, future-ready learning and leadership, self-leadership, which ALL led us to inner alignment. And now, Season 15 is about understanding how that alignment is built—so we can build it ourselves, using predictable, science-backed principles. Because alignment doesn't happen all at once. It happens by using a sequence. And when we understand the order of that sequence — we can replicate it. By repeating this sequence over and over again, until magically (or predictably) we notice our results have changed. Season 15 we've organized as a review roadmap, where each episode explores one foundational brain system—and each phase builds on the one before it. Rather than focusing on outcomes, hacks, or motivation alone, we examine the core brain systems that must be stable before learning, performance, and leadership can emerge. Episodes are organized around a simple but powerful progression: Phase 1: Regulation & Safety — the nervous system foundation for learning Phase 2: Neurochemistry and Motivation—dopamine balance + Emotional regulation Phase 3: Cognition & Learning — attention, memory, and executive function Phase 4: Perception & Social Intelligence — how we read ourselves and others Phase 5: Integration & Meaning — how experience becomes insight and growth Each system builds upon the one beneath it, reminding us that when foundations are ignored, progress is temporary. When they are strengthened, performance becomes sustainable. Season 15 is not a review of past episodes—we are connecting neuroscience, emotional regulation, and learning into a clear framework for improved human potential. Because performance is not built from the top down. It emerges from the foundations up. PHASE 1: REGULATION & SAFETY Staples: Sleep + Stress Regulation Core Question: Is the nervous system safe enough to learn? Anchor Episodes Episode 384[i] — Baland Jalal How learning begins: curiosity, sleep, imagination, creativity Episode 385[ii] — Bruce Perry “What happened to you?” — trauma, rhythm, relational safety Episode 386 –Thoryn Stephens Turning biometrics (HRV, sleep data, metabolic markers) into actionable protocols. Episode 387 Dr. Sui Wong[iii] Autonomic balance, lifestyle medicine, brain resilience Episode 388 Rohan Dixit HRV, real-time self-regulation, nervous system literacy For today's EP 388, we welcome back Dr. David Stephens, a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist renowned for his expertise in brain function and mental health. Discover groundbreaking insights into how glucose can be a game-changer in restoring brain function, mental health, and overall productivity. Dr. Stephens shared his compelling journey with us that led to the revelation of glucose as a crucial element in brain restoration. From understanding the perceptible differences between glucose and sugar to unraveling common myths about brain health, this conversation is packed with scientific insights that challenge traditional paradigms that explored how restoring glucose levels could revolutionize our mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being. I believe in Dr. Stephens' mission mostly because I've experienced life-changing results when I started to read labels, and cut out sugar after a podiatrist told me this would improve my health back in 2005. The results I've noticed are significant. But now, I understand sugar and glucose at a different level. I have lots of follow up questions for Dr. Stephens, and am excited to learn more about what he has discovered since we last spoke. Episode Introduction This week on The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, we are revisiting a past guest who joined us in December 2024 on Episode 350[iv]. Dr. David Stephens is a clinical psychologist and neuropsychologist known for his research on brain function, mental health, and the role of glucose in cognitive performance and recovery. In our previous conversation, Dr. Stephens introduced a fascinating concept: that glucose may play a far more important role in brain restoration and mental health than many of us realize. Since that interview, Dr. Stephens has continued his research and recently released new insights in his book Restored Hope, exploring how glucose regulation may influence cognitive performance, emotional stability, and overall brain health. This topic is especially meaningful to me personally. Back in 2005, a podiatrist suggested I eliminate sugar from my diet to improve my health. After making that change and becoming more mindful of reading nutrition labels, I noticed significant improvements in how I felt physically and mentally. But what I've learned since speaking with Dr. Stephens is that understanding sugar and understanding glucose are not the same thing—and that difference may change how we think about nutrition and brain health. Dr. Stephens, welcome back to the podcast. How have you been since we last spoke? Q1: Dr. Stephens, thank you for reaching back to me about your new book, and research. I'm sure you could tell that this topic is important to me. We've covered a few podcast episodes on “The Damaging Effects of Sugar on the Brain and Body” with research that came from my foot doctor, who had me change my diet in 2005, and my health turned around for the better. Can we review what should we understand about glucose, vs sucralose that is connected to weight gain and type 2 diabetes? Q2: What's important about understanding our blood sugar vs glucose levels in the brain? Q3: I've also posted a comment from our last interview that gave an overview of the definition of sucrose vs sucralose. Then I wondered, is sucralose bad for our brain? Sometimes I make sugar free hot chocolate, and I know that I once looked this up. I'm sure Dr. Daniel Amen recommends Stevia as a brain-healthy sweetener, but I'm sure I once forgot, and bought Splenda by mistake. Can you explain the difference and do you agree with Dr. Amen that we should choose Stevia over Splenda? Q4: Can you share what you have uncovered since we last spoke in December 2024? I did read what you had sent me, but I will need it translated into English. • Fructose-controlled design (with biomarker panels HRV, FDG-PET, inflammatory markers, RBANS domains). • AI assisted hypothesize generation for theory building • This book ranks Q5: I followed some of the questions that came through on the YouTube Comments since our last episode. Many were positive, and support your research but every once in a while, someone will comment something negative about this topic. I find it interesting, because the podiatrist who told me to stop eating sugar years ago said the exact same thing. He found it difficult to fight against the criticism. What have you noticed and how do you handle people who don't understand what you have uncovered? Q6: What else is important for us to understand? Q7: Some people have asked for updated information on where they can find you. Can you share the best way for people to reach you? Dr. Stephens, I believe in your mission, and look forward to reading your new book. Thank you for sharing your research with us, and look forward to hearing what from you as you write more books on this topic, to help us to take our brain health seriously. Key Takeaways from This Episode 1. The Brain Runs on Glucose Glucose is the brain's primary fuel source. When glucose regulation is disrupted, it can affect cognition, focus, emotional regulation, and mental health. 2. Not All “Sugar” Is the Same Many people use the words sugar and glucose interchangeably, but they are chemically different and can affect the body in different ways. Understanding these differences can help people make more informed nutrition decisions. 3. Artificial Sweeteners Raise Important Questions Sweeteners like sucralose (Splenda) may not behave the same way as natural glucose or other sugars in the brain and body. This is an area of ongoing research and debate, and understanding the metabolic impact of these substitutes is important. 4. Brain Health Is Deeply Connected to Metabolism Dr. Stephens' research suggests that metabolic processes, inflammation, and brain energy systems may play a much larger role in mental health and cognitive performance than we previously understood. 5. Science Evolves Through Debate Innovative research often meets skepticism. Scientific progress depends on healthy debate, continued research, and open dialogue. Listener Action Steps 1. Become Aware of Your Nutrition Labels Start reading labels and becoming more aware of added sugars, sweeteners, and ingredients in your daily diet. Small changes can have meaningful long-term effects. 2. Pay Attention to Your Brain Energy Notice how your focus, mood, and energy levels respond to different foods. Your brain's fuel matters for performance, learning, and emotional regulation. 3. Stay Curious About New Research Topics like nutrition, metabolism, and brain health are constantly evolving. Stay open to learning and questioning new findings. Just like we mention in this interview, there was a day that Andrea would not eat butter. Understanding glucose is another paradigm shift. 4. Prioritize Brain Health Holistically Nutrition is only one piece of the puzzle. Brain health is also supported by: sleep stress regulation exercise recovery social connection Closing Summary As we continue exploring the neuroscience behind health, performance, and learning, conversations like this remind us that our brain is deeply connected to the systems that fuel it. Understanding how the brain uses energy—through glucose, metabolism, and nutrition—opens new doors for improving mental clarity, emotional well-being, and long-term brain health.

What if the reason your client cannot access clarity, action or decision making has nothing to do with their mindset and everything to do with their nervous system? In this episode, we explore a dimension of coaching that sits beneath the questions, the goals and the models. Every coaching conversation is not only a meeting of minds. It is a meeting of two nervous systems. When a client arrives in a state of urgency, overwhelm or shutdown, the most powerful coaching move is often not another question. It is the creation of safety. We reflect on moments in our own coaching and supervision where dysregulation was present and how quickly everything shifted when the focus moved from performance to regulation. A single breath. A slowing of pace. A gentle acknowledgement of what was happening in the body. These are the moments that allow a client to return to themselves and re access their thinking, their resourcefulness and their learning. What becomes clear is that dysregulation does not only appear in the big life events. It can show up in the everyday pressure of a full diary, the urgency before a holiday, a difficult conversation that happened that morning or the weight of time and responsibility. Without the ability to recognise and work with these states, a coaching session can remain on the surface, even when the client is highly capable and committed. We talk about co regulation and the role of the coach as a steady nervous system anchor. When we are grounded, calm and present, we invite our clients back into their own window of tolerance. From this place, curiosity returns. Reflection becomes possible. Decision making becomes clearer. Action becomes meaningful. We also explore the different ways dysregulation can present. It may look like anxiety, restlessness and pressure. It may look like fogginess, disconnection and a lack of motivation that could easily be mislabelled as resistance. With awareness, we stop pushing for progress and instead resource the client so that progress becomes possible. This work sits firmly within the role of a coach. If a dysregulated nervous system is the obstacle to a client's goal, then supporting regulation is part of working in the gap between where they are and where they want to be. It is ethical, it is powerful and it is deeply human. We also turn the lens towards ourselves as coaches. Our own nervous system is part of the coaching relationship. Noticing when we become activated, understanding our triggers and knowing how to return to regulation is essential if we are to hold safe, effective spaces for our clients. Ultimately, this episode is about presence. It is about recognising that transformation does not happen when a client is in survival mode. It happens when they feel safe enough to think, feel and choose. And sometimes the most valuable coaching session is the one where the goal is not achieved, but the client leaves regulated, resourced and reconnected to themselves.   Timestamps: 00:00 Coaching as a meeting of two nervous systems 00:27 Why dysregulation blocks progress 00:56 A supervision example of co regulation in action 02:24 Coaching happens in the body as well as the mind 02:51 The coach as a nervous system anchor 03:19 How to help clients arrive in safety 04:44 Everyday examples of nervous system activation 06:09 When coaching feels like an interruption for the client 07:07 Resourcing before support and challenge 08:27 Simple regulation invitations and awareness 09:50 When past experiences are triggered in coaching 11:12 Dysregulation is not doing harm 12:09 Window of tolerance explained simply 13:36 Fight, flight and shutdown in coaching sessions 15:24 Working ethically with regulation as the goal 16:23 Coaching in the gap between goal and obstacle 17:49 Nervous system awareness for trauma and neurodivergence 18:44 Connection before progress 19:39 When clients cannot access future thinking 20:31 Powerful regulation focused coaching questions 21:39 Holding safety until the client can return to themselves 23:07 How quickly regulation can restore clarity 24:33 The coach's own nervous system in the relationship 25:28 Further learning through neurodivergent inclusive coaching   Key Lessons Learned: Coaching effectiveness depends on the client's nervous system state. Co regulation is a core coaching capability, not an optional extra. Dysregulation often appears in everyday pressure, not only major events. Shutdown can be misinterpreted as resistance without nervous system awareness. Regulation is sometimes the most valuable outcome of a session. The coach's own regulation directly impacts the quality of the space held. Nervous system literacy is essential for trauma informed and neurodivergent inclusive coaching.   Keywords: coaching the nervous system, nervous system regulation in coaching, trauma informed coaching skills, window of tolerance coaching, co regulation in coaching sessions, neurodivergent inclusive coaching, somatic coaching awareness, how to help clients feel safe in coaching, executive functioning and coaching, advanced coaching presence,   Links & Resources: Neurodivergent Inclusive Coaching programme: https://www.igcompany.com/nd

The conversation with formulator Matt Legge pulls back the curtain on the supplement industry, framing it as a metaphysical struggle between genuine intent and the corporate Machine. Matt's journey is a hero's exile from structures like Metagenics, which prioritize efficiency over the soul of the product. This machine churns out soulless, AI-generated formulas that chase "white space," utterly neglecting the deep clinical insight of Root Cause Analysis—a meditation of the pulse. The founder's sacrifice creates the Pearl of Reciprocity, the organizational soul. The primary struggle is protecting this soul from "middle management" by constantly acting as the Chief Reminding Officer (CRO). The ultimate takeaway is a profound choice: to ethically play the regulatory puzzle with a full-spectrum approach and prioritize being the most respected—the "early bird gets the worm"—over merely being the biggest.   CORE INSIGHTS: [1:00-1:50] The Formulator's "Exile" and the Call to Invent: Deemed "unemployable" by a major practitioner brand due to his excess of innovative ideas, Matt Legge was effectively pushed to start his own supplement brand. [2:30-3:30] Critique of Claim-Driven Formulation: The core problem in the supplement industry is formulating for claims using single, trademarked extracts, disregarding the natural synergy of multi-ingredient or whole-herb formulations. [5:30-6:30] The Threat of AI-Generated Formulas: New brands often use AI or agencies to formulate identical, "soulless" products (e.g., Ashwagandha, B6, Magnesium Glycinate) based on market "white space," which sidesteps genuine root cause analysis. [9:30-10:30] Root Cause as Clinical "Meditation": Identifying the true root cause is subjective, requiring deep clinical insight—like a "meditation" of the pulse—that goes beyond generic university diagnoses. [11:30-13:00] The Limitations of RCTs in Natural Medicine: The parachute analogy to argue that natural medicine, with thousands of years of traditional use, does not always require modern RCTs that often exclude the sick people the medicine is meant to help. [14:00-15:30] The "Pearl of Reciprocity" and Organizational Soul: Mason views a founder's genuine intent and sacrifice as creating the "Pearl of Reciprocity"—a metaphysical, organizational soul that guides the company toward its purpose of "health and harmony." [29:00-30:00] The Chief Reminding Officer (CRO): To combat high staff turnover ("The Wiggles Theory"), the founder must act as the "Chief Reminding Officer" (CRO), perpetually repeating the brand's foundational ethos and "campfire stories" to maintain its core cultural spirit. [35:30-36:30] Innovation Stifled by Middle Management: Middle management, lacking the company's ethos, stifled innovation by rejecting Matt's inventions because a market segment for the original ideas did not yet exist. [54:30-56:00] The Ethical Full-Spectrum Formulation Approach: Modern ethical formulation uses a nuanced approach: combining standardized extracts (for regulatory claims) with full-spectrum whole herbs to ensure nature's full synergy.

As I was editing this week's podcast episode, I accidentally deleted half of it and thought it was gone forever. At first, my heart sank, I was in shock, the blood drained from my face, and I literally said out loud, "Nooooooo!!!"I was ready to call it and my brain started quickly going through my options.As I went through my options, I paused and wanted to connect with my experience of this. I felt the sadness of these words I took the time to speak would be lost forever. I took a moment to grieve this. Giving myself space to feel and move through what was present, I noticed myself regulate. I was ready to choose the option of re-recording and trying to get this podcast out when I could. Then, my husband told me to give him ten minutes and he was able to find the lost content. The interesting thing was I had a mixture of emotions when he found it. I had already grieved what was lost and was getting excited about what I could say differently when I re-recorded and then also relief that these recording was recovered and I could move forward editing the rest and getting it out to you. This is what binge eating recovery can be like: a mixture of highs and lows of being so excited that the binge eating is decreasing and then grief at saying goodbye to something that has supported you for so long and grief at all the reasons that this food behavior came in to help you feel safe and protect you. In this week's episode: I read 3 different Binge Eating Reddit Stories I explore a trauma, somatic, nutritional, and nervous system perspective about what might support these individuals in their binge eatingI get into topics such as binge-restrict cycle, binge eating as a response to nervous system dysregulation, binge eating as a response to trauma, weight stigma, and body controlI offer explorations around binge eating that you might play with for yourself I hope you enjoy this episode and if there is ever a topic you would like me to explore on these Reading Reddit Stories episodes, email me and let me know! With Compassion and Empathy, Stephanie Mara FoxSupport the showKeep in touch with Stephanie Mara:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/_stephaniemara/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/stephaniemarafoxWebsite: https://www.stephaniemara.com/https://www.somaticeating.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephmara/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@stephaniemarafoxContact: support@stephaniemara.comSupport the show:Become a supporter: https://www.buzzsprout.com/809987/supportAll affiliate links: https://www.stephaniemara.com/resourcesReceive 15% off my fave protein powder with code STEPHANIEMARA at checkout here: https://www.equipfoods.com/STEPHANIEMARAUse my Amazon Affiliate link when shopping on Amazon: https://amzn.to/448IyPl Special thanks to Bendsound for the music in this episode. www.benso...

Alan Rozenshtein, research director at Lawfare, spoke with Cullen O'Keefe, research director at the Institute for Law & AI, and Kevin Frazier, AI Innovation and Law Fellow at the University of Texas at Austin School of Law and senior editor at Lawfare, about their paper, "Automated Compliance and the Regulation of AI" (and associated Lawfare article), which argues that AI systems can automate many regulatory compliance tasks, loosening the trade-off between safety and innovation in AI policy.The conversation covered the disproportionate burden of compliance costs on startups versus large firms; the limitations of compute thresholds as a proxy for targeting AI regulation; how AI can automate tasks like transparency reporting, model evaluations, and incident disclosure; the Goodhart's Law objection to automated compliance; the paper's proposal for "automatability triggers" that condition regulation on the availability of cheap compliance tools; analogies to sunrise clauses in other areas of law; incentive problems in developing compliance-automating AI; the speculative future of automated compliance meeting automated governance; and how co-authoring the paper shifted each author's views on the AI regulation debate.Find Scaling Laws on the Lawfare website, and subscribe to never miss an episode.To receive ad-free podcasts, become a Lawfare Material Supporter at www.patreon.com/lawfare.
