What does it take to break free from a lifetime of educational conditioning? For Evgenia, a Russian immigrant now homeschooling in Canada, the journey began with a powerful realization: "I don't like to share my child with the government."Growing up in Russia's rigid school system left lasting impressions – some teachers still appear in her nightmares decades later. But becoming a mother transformed everything, shifting her from liberal-minded to questioning mainstream educational approaches. When her son was born, Evgenia discovered a freedom she never knew existed in education.The path hasn't been without challenges. Homeschooling an only child means constant companionship without breaks, especially for her naturally social six-year-old who "always is on me all the time." She candidly shares her evolution from attempting strict "school at home" with her toddler to embracing a more natural learning approach across three languages – Russian, Polish, and English.Perhaps most valuable is Evgenia's insight into sustaining yourself through the intense journey of homeschooling. Her morning ritual before anyone wakes gives her 45-60 minutes of self-renewal – looking at the sun, enjoying nature, practicing self-massage, prayer, and sometimes dancing alone. "I realized I cannot live like this anymore," she explains, "because I want to pour into everyone's cup, but my cup is empty."Her wisdom extends beyond education into wellness: "Use your kids as motivation to take care of yourself." This perspective reframes self-care not as selfish but essential – we're modeling behaviors our children will carry into adulthood. Whether you're considering homeschooling, struggling with balancing parenthood, or simply seeking a fresh perspective on education, Evgenia's story reminds us that learning never stops for parents or children.Free resources https://www.atnourishedmotherhood.com/free-resourcesFREE Challenge that starts June 30th 3-Day Metabolic Reset https://www.atnourishedmotherhood.com/page/649877What is the most important thing we can teach our kids?HOW TO HANDLE AN EMERGENCY!This could mean life or death in some cases!Help a child you know navigate how to handle an emergency situation with ease:Let's Talk, Emergencies! -and don't forgetTuttle Twins- use code Cheryl15 for 15% off!Support the showInstagram: TheHomeschoolHowToPodcast Facebook: The Homeschool How To Podcast

After we hit “stop” on our last episode, Tight Ship or Jazz Band?, we realized the conversation wasn't over. The tension between discipline and flexibility kept tugging at us — and stirred up a few stories (and laughs) we hadn't yet shared. So we're back, diving deeper into the power and pitfalls of routine, the magic of improvisation, and why finding that balance matters more than ever in today's workplace. In this follow-up episode, Bob ‘n Joyce: • Unpack why some habits feel safe but may be limiting innovation • Talk about real-life moments when “flugidity” made all the difference • Explore how leaders can create cultures that flex without falling apart • Challenge listeners to reexamine what structure they're clinging to — and why Whether you're running a tight ship or playing in a jazz band, this encore conversation is for anyone trying to lead with more ease, creativity, and courage.

Supporting Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse - Carl Rogers'Seven Stages of Process In Episode 340 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we look at the question: Can clients ask you to delete their data? - covering legal, ethical, and practical considerations. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Jeremy Sachs about supporting male survivors of sexual abuse, with a focus on the intersectional challenges they face and practical considerations for therapists. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken explain and simplify Carl Rogers' Seven Stages of Process, highlighting how this core theory maps client growth in therapy. Can Clients Ask You to Delete Their Data?  [starts at 03:26 mins] In this section, Rory and Ken address a challenging but important question: Can clients ask you to delete their data? Key points discussed include: Under UK GDPR (Article 17), clients have the "right to erasure" (right to be forgotten), but it's not absolute. You may decline deletion if: The data is required for legal obligations, such as tax or insurance records. You need the data to defend against complaints or for safeguarding purposes. Deleting data prematurely could leave you without a defence if a client complains later or if you are required to provide records to legal authorities or coroners. Good practice includes: Explaining data retention policies in your contract. Consulting the ICO (Information Commissioner's Office) for UK-based practitioners. Documenting decisions with written evidence from insurers or data protection authorities. Consider using a split-note system to separate identifying details from case notes. How long should client data be kept after therapy ends? (Commonly six years for adults, up to age 25 for children). Supporting Male Survivors of Sexual Abuse [starts at 23:53 mins] In ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Jeremy Sachs, therapist and author of the upcoming book Masculinity Reconnected, about male sexual abuse and its often-overlooked challenges. Key points discussed include: Societal silence: Male survivors often go unheard due to cultural narratives about masculinity, strength, and emotional repression. The role of masculinity: Traditional masculinity can prevent men from seeking help. Men may internalise shame and avoid vulnerability. "Toxic masculinity" can further oppress male survivors. Intersectionality: Men experience sexual abuse differently based on race, gender identity, class, or sexuality. Therapists must recognise these layers when supporting clients. Supporting survivors: Create safe, validating spaces for male clients to share their stories. Explore how societal expectations and cultural messaging impact their healing. Encourage community and connection to reduce isolation. Carl Rogers' Seven Stages of Process [starts at 45:40 mins] In ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken simplify Carl Rogers' Seven Stages of Process, a key person-centred theory describing how clients grow through therapy. Key points include: The seven stages map a client's journey from rigidity to fluidity - from defensiveness to openness and self-trust. Stages explained: Rigidity & Defensiveness – Blaming others, avoiding self-awareness. External Recognition – Acknowledging problems exist but externalising them. Tentative Self-Exploration – Starting to discuss personal feelings. Here-and-Now Feelings – Becoming present-focused, seeking involvement in therapy. Ownership & Change – Taking control and committing to change. Experiencing Fully – Accepting emotions in real-time and trusting the inner self. Self-Actualisation – Living authentically and growing beyond therapy. Most therapy takes place between stages 3–5,

Summary of Flexibility = Love•Rigidity: The tendency to adhere strictly to rules, routines, and predictability.•Spontaneity: The inclination to seek excitement and adventure without prior planning.•Flexibility: The ability to adapt and find a balance between rigidity and spontaneity.Importance of Understanding DifferencesMerrill points out that understanding one's own personality traits is crucial for improving marital dynamics. He discusses how rigidity can lead to anxiety due to a fear of losing control, while spontaneity can result in feelings of resentment when life feels too boxed in or constrained.Benefits and Drawbacks of RigidityBenefits:A structured environment can lower anxiety, especially for children, by providing clear expectations.2.Commitment: Predictability helps partners uphold commitments and builds trust.Drawbacks:1.Stifled Intimacy: Overly rigid environments can become boring and inhibit emotional closeness.2.Excessive Control: Rigid approaches can lead to legalistic attitudes that diminish personal freedom and enjoyment.Benefits and Drawbacks of SpontaneityBenefits:1.Excitement and Joy: Spontaneity can inject fun and unpredictability into life, fostering deeper emotional connections.2.Encouragement of Playfulness: It allows couples to engage in activities that uplift their spirits and reinforce bonds.Drawbacks:1.Instability: Sudden changes can create anxiety in partners who prefer predictability.2.Neglect of Responsibilities: Spontaneous decisions can sometimes lead to neglecting commitments and responsibilities, causing strain in the relationship.Balancing Rigidity and SpontaneityThe hosts emphasize that neither rigidity nor spontaneity is inherently right or wrong; rather, successful relationships require a balance of both. This balance is achieved through flexibility, the capacity to adapt to each partner's needs and circumstances.Scriptural References and Principles•Ephesians 5:21: Advocating for mutual submission and respect in relationships.•Philippians 2:3-4: Encouraging humility and valuing the needs of others over one's own.•Ecclesiastes 9:9: Reminding partners to enjoy life together amidst their daily routines.Practical Strategies for Couples1.Know Your Tendencies: Partners should identify whether they lean more towards rigidity or spontaneity.2.Set Shared Values: Agree on core values that will guide decisions and behaviors.3.Establish Common Goals: Identify long-term goals that both partners are working towards.4.Listen Actively: Encourage open communication without defensiveness or sarcasm.5.Seek Unity Over Being Right: Focus on compromise and mutual understanding instead of proving each other wrong.6.Encourage Each Other: Foster positivity by recognizing and affirming each other's efforts and traits.7.Shift Mindsets to ‘We': Cultivate a partnership mentality where both aim for collective success and happiness.Flexibility as a Key ComponentThe discussion culminates in the realization that flexibility is essential for resiliency in a relationship. It allows couples to navigate the inevitable storms of life with grace, adapting their approaches as circumstances change.http:://rocksolidfamilies.orgSupport the show#Rocksolidfamilies, #familytherapy, #marriagecounseling, #parenting, #faithbasedcounseling, #counseling, #Strongdads, #coaching, #lifecoach, #lifecoaching, #marriagecoaching, #marriageandfamily, #control, #security, #respect, #affection, #love, #purpose, #faith, #affairs, #infidelity

This week, Jake and Bob share ideas on how to foster a healthy parish community. They not only reflect on the challenges of developing true community within a parish but also ponder how healthy parish life revolves around our personal healing and freedom. Through the use of multiple personal examples, Jake and Bob also explore the importance of the Sacraments, the role of forgiveness, and how love and fear bonds affect our relationships with God and those around us.   Key Points: Building community in small groups and then coming together for Mass on Sunday is one way to begin fostering community The Pastor of a parish has the important role of spiritual father and can foster community and connection by his example Many people may feel unsafe to build community in their parishes due to past wounds and judgements Fear and love bonds not only affect our relationships with others but also with God  Fear bonds are formed from wounds and can lead to anxiety or avoidance in relationships Love bonds are built on trust and intimacy Sin and unresolved issues can affect the health of a parish community Judgement and Rigidity can hinder community growth  Healing our own woundedness on an individual level contributes to a more vibrant community on the parish level   Connect with Restore the Glory:  Instagram: @restoretheglorypodcast  Twitter: @RestoreGloryPod Facebook: Restore the Glory Podcast   Never miss out on an episode by hitting the subscribe button right now!

Come to a Dehoarding Accountability Zoom Session: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/ticket Subscribe to the podcast: https://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/subscribe Podcast show notes, links and transcript: http://www.overcomecompulsivehoarding.co.uk/  Today, I'm joined by Dr Jan Eppingstall to unpack "towards moves" and "away moves" in the context of hoarding. These terms might sound unusual, but they're crucial for understanding behaviour in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and how they relate to our values. It's all about recognising whether our actions are leading us closer to what matters or pulling us further away, and we'll be exploring how to identify and pivot those choices. Introduction to Towards Moves and Away Moves Definition and explanation of the concept. The relevance of these moves in dealing with hoarding disorder. Initial thoughts on the impact of small actions. Examples in a Hoarding Context Away moves (e.g., keeping craft supplies, avoiding recognising chaos). Towards moves (e.g., donating supplies, acknowledging home environment issues). Explanation of how values influence these moves. Role of Values in Decision Making Importance of determining personal values. How values affect choices and provide motivation. Impact of materialism and societal pressures on values. Cognitive Fusion Explanation and examples of cognitive fusion. The effect of tightly held beliefs on reality and actions. Discussion of accuracy vs. helpfulness of thoughts. Flexibility vs. Rigidity and Perfectionism Psychological inflexibility and societal expectations. The struggle between personal values and societal pressures. The concept of emotional flexibility and its importance. Recognising Towards and Away Moves Strategies for acknowledging and reflecting on these moves. Importance of awareness in decision-making processes. Dopamine and Pleasure vs. Meaning The role of dopamine in pleasure and motivation. Discussion on short-term pleasure vs. long-term meaning. How these insights influence approach and avoidance behaviours. Making Changes and Addressing Moves Creating “if-then” plans to anticipate moves. Reflecting on decisions and their outcomes. Recognising patterns and using past experiences to guide future actions. Role of Helpers in Towards and Away Moves Identification and importance of helpers like goal setting and values clarification. Challenges faced by individuals with attentional deficits. Votes for the Person You Want to Be Connection between choices and self-identity. Concept of actions as votes for future selves. First Steps to Take More Towards Moves Starting with value clarification exercises. Questions to help determine what's important personally. Encouragement to explore inner motivations and experiences.

Is your team more afraid of sharing a bad idea or missing out on a great one? In this episode, Mike and Kristen dig into what truly makes a culture innovative - and it's probably not what you think. Most companies claim to value innovation, but few actually design their culture to support it. Through a framework Kristen calls the "Improvation Matrix," they explore how openness to new ideas and commitment to execution create the foundation for genuine innovation. Plus, Mike takes a delightful detour through the Museum of Failure (featuring gems like Colgate Lasagna and Limeade Oreos) to illustrate why embracing failure might be the most important element in fostering creativity. Whether your team is stuck in stagnation, drowning in noise, or trapped in rigid thinking, this episode offers practical strategies to shift your culture toward true innovation.Highlights:Kristen introduces the Improvation Matrix with two axes: openness to new ideas and level of commitmentTeams can exist in four states: Stagnation, Noise, Rigidity, or Innovation depending on their cultureThe "Yes, And" mindset from improv fosters divergent thinking and gives creative ideas room to breatheThe Museum of Failure showcases products like New Coke and Colgate Lasagna as examples of how even successful companies failThree levels of listening: listening to respond, listening to hear, and listening to understandThe Golden State Warriors' "Strength in Numbers" philosophy demonstrates how supporting teammates leads to successIncorporating play at work reduces stress, improves cognitive function, and enhances creativityLinks & Resources Mentioned:Museum of Failure Episode #7: 10 Ways Improv Makes You a Better LeaderGet your FREE 5 Day Leadership Reset Challenge guide here: https://llpod.link/challengePodcast Website: www.loveandleadershippod.comInstagram: @loveleaderpodFollow us on LinkedIn!Kristen: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristenbsharkey/ Mike: https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-s-364970111/Learn more about Kristen's leadership coaching and facilitation services: http://www.emboldify.com

My guest is Stuart McMillan, a renowned track and field coach who has trained dozens of Olympic medalists, professional athletes, and team coaches across a diverse range of sports.

We emphasize the enormous benefits of skipping—a form of plyometrics—for joint health, aerobic conditioning, and coordination, as well as its advantages for people of all ages and fitness levels. We also explore the expressive nature of human movement, highlighting how certain movements reveal and can evolve one's unique personality and abilities. Stu explains how resistance training, skipping, and striding can improve movement efficiency in all aspects of life. Anyone who exercises, as well as serious athletes, will benefit immensely from Stu McMillan's knowledge of human mechanics and the practical tools he generously shares in this discussion.

How does fluency differ from mere proficiency in a business setting? What strategies can business owners use to help employees become fluent in the company's language and systems? In this episode of the Uncaged Clinician Podcast, host Kevin DeGroot delves into the importance of fluency in business communications and effective employee training.

Welcome to another enlightening episode of "It's the Bottom Line That Matters," the podcast dedicated to propelling your business success. In this episode, our insightful hosts—Daniel McCraine, Patricia Reszetylo, and Jennifer Glass—take on the complex topic of flexibility in business. As we navigate through our professional landscapes, the ability to discern when to remain firm and when to be flexible is crucial. Are you the unyielding type, or do you bend like the flappy balloon man outside a car dealership? This episode tackles such questions, offering real-world scenarios that challenge these dynamics, such as dealing with requests for refunds beyond set guarantees and understanding the firm boundaries set by ethics and legality. The discussion also highlights how life's unpredictable events can influence our business decisions and why it's essential to understand where your own limits lie. Our hosts share personal insights and practical advice on finding the right balance, emphasizing that sometimes, maintaining flexibility can be as important as standing firm—especially when extenuating circumstances come into play. Whether you're looking to refine your business SOPs or contemplating how much leniency to allow in client interactions, this episode is packed with valuable advice to help you draw those lines confidently. And as always, we invite our listeners to join the conversation by reaching out to us at itsthebottomline@gmail.com for more tailored discussions. Tune in and elevate your approach to business, because, at the end of the day, being flexible while staying grounded could just be the bottom line that truly matters.

Modern life is loaded with inputs and sometimes we have to disconnect for our sanity. Today, we take a different perspective on the off-season. How can we get better without directly putting your energy into traditional triathlon activity? If you're already jacked up about your race next Fall, you are probably running a little too rigid. There's a time and place to sharpen the tip of the spear and starting now will likely lead to burnout. Give your mind and body some space to refuel with different angles that relate to your overall health and well-being. Relax and get back to your true center. Topics: Feels like a harsh winter Training in cold vs. heat Distance yourself from the grind Time to experiment Load management syndrome Disconnect and re-energize We need space Take time away to think freely Fend off burnout Experimenting in your own mind Too Much Input It's all about energy Favorite bands with only two good albums When it's forced Rigidity eats you up Overload and obsession Zen and the art of motorcycle maintenance Sharpening the tip of the spear Connecting non-connecting ideas to triathlon   Mike Tarrolly - mike@c26triathlon.com Robbie Bruce - robbie@c26triathlon.com

Too often our efforts to be conscientious overshoot their goal and we become rigid and rulebound instead. Sometimes this is because we follow convention rather than conscience, and other times it's because we have forgotten our original motivation. In both cases, becoming more mindful of conscience and more skillful in how we execute it can put us back on track, rather than driving nowhere.

In this episode, Dr. David Hanscom continues his discussion with Dr. Susanna Calvert, founder and executive director of the Foundation for Family and Community Healing and Sanctuary of Earth. She explains the themes of healing, authenticity, and spirituality that her foundations focus on. She explores the significance of teaching self-regulation and emotional processing skills to children, to help them avoid the long-term effects of mental rigidity. She also emphasizes the need for mindfulness and the development of essential skills for processing adversity and nurturing joy – e.g., being more open as a way to change beliefs; accepting what we can't change and addressing what we can; listening at a deep level; and developing the relationship between ourselves, the Earth and the Divine. Following a 26-year career in higher education,  Dr. Susanna (Sanna) Wu-Pong Calvert, MAPP, PhD is the Founder and Executive Director of two 501(c)3 nonprofits, the Foundation for Family and Community Healing (www.HealingEdu.org) which fosters resilience and wellbeing skill development, and Sanctuary of Earth (www.SanctuaryOfEarth.org), whose mission is to actualize human spiritual potential.  She is a consultant, reiki master/energy healer, soul medium, tarot reader, and intuitive coach (www.SusannaCalvert.com). 

We tend to view our life view as the correct one and become upset when confronted with conflicting evidence. This perspective becomes embedded in our nervous system with repetition and time, and we develop mental rigidity. Quote: Here are some thought-provoking quotes that address the impact of mental rigidity on life perspective and overall quality of life: Albert Einstein: “The measure of intelligence is the ability to change.” Define Mental Rigidity Mental rigidity is a cognitive state characterized by an inflexible, closed mindset that resists change, adaptation, or new perspectives. Individuals with mental rigidity often struggle to consider alternative viewpoints, adapt to new information, or adjust their beliefs or behaviors in response to evolving circumstances. This rigid way of thinking can lead to difficulty coping with life's challenges, missed opportunities for growth, and strained relationships, as it limits one's ability to see beyond a narrow, fixed perspective. In essence, mental rigidity prevents a person from embracing the flexibility and open-mindedness necessary for personal development and resilience. Mental rigidity is a core trait spanning almost every mental health scenario. Why? Mental rigidity is often present in psychological diagnoses because it represents an underlying difficulty in adapting thoughts, behaviors, or emotions to changing circumstances, which is a core aspect of many mental health conditions. Here are a few reasons why: Resistant Patterns of Thinking: Conditions like depression, anxiety, and obsessive-compulsive disorder often involve repetitive, rigid thinking patterns. For example, individuals with depression may fixate on negative beliefs, while those with OCD may be stuck in cycles of intrusive thoughts and compulsions. These patterns make it hard to adopt new perspectives or shift focus. Difficulty Adapting to Change:Many psychological conditions are rooted in the struggle to cope with or adjust to change. For instance, those with generalized anxiety disorder may find it hard to adapt their expectations, leading to constant worry about potential future events. In personality disorders, such as borderline personality disorder, rigid thought patterns can lead to extreme emotional reactions and impulsivity. Avoidance and Control: Rigidity often arises from a desire to control or avoid difficult emotions and situations, common in diagnoses like PTSD. Here, individuals may engage in rigid avoidance patterns to prevent traumatic memories or feelings from resurfacing, reinforcing inflexibility in coping mechanisms. Reinforcement of Negative Beliefs: In many cases, rigid beliefs perpetuate symptoms. For example, individuals with social anxiety may hold onto the belief that they will be judged negatively in social settings, reinforcing their avoidance of these situations and further solidifying the rigidity of their mindset. Biological and Neurological Factors: Certain psychological conditions, such as autism spectrum disorder or schizophrenia, may involve neurological differences that contribute to rigid thought patterns. These can affect cognitive flexibility, making it harder to shift attention or reframe thinking. Ultimately, mental rigidity is often both a symptom and a reinforcing factor in psychological diagnoses. It limits emotional and cognitive flexibility, making it difficult for individuals to break out of unhelpful patterns and move toward healthier perspectives and behaviors.
