Independent play expert Lizzie Assa is back on Securely Attached to talk about how play is one of the most powerful ways children can build confidence, creativity, frustration tolerance, and resilience (while parents get a little breathing room back too.)   Together we explore:   - What independent play actually looks like for kids of all ages and what is realistic at each stage. - Why independent play does not just happen, and how parents can teach it without guilt or power struggles. - How to create simple "play pockets" in your home that make independent play more likely. - Signs your child may have too many toys and why toy overload can shut play down. - Specific phrases, routines, and timing cues that make independent play more successful. - How to decode what your child's play reveals about their emotional experience and where they might need extra support. - How independent play might look different for only children versus those playing with siblings.   This episode is designed to leave you with specific ideas you can put into practice immediately, from how to set up play to what to say when you step back, so independent play becomes something that actually works in your day-to-day life.     LEARN MORE ABOUT MY GUEST:

Click here to send me a quick message :) So much of life these days seems to be polarized. As if the world is black and white, right and wrong. And this is no different in the birth world.As social media reach has taken hold, I've been watching the rise of polarity especially in the "free birth" community. Honestly, I had friends freebirthing before Instagram existed, but I also trained in homebirth midwifery for 5 years.So my frame has always been pretty nuanced. I've witnessed empowered hands-off births at home, more hands-on home birth midwifery styles, birth center births with nurse midwives, empowered hospital births and even the cascade of interventions happen in hospitals. Over the years of my midwifery training and birth work (this was 10-15 years ago), I became curious about more hands-off styles in home settings. My favorite births I witnessed were the ones where the midwives left (I was a doula) and/or sat in the corner knitting or reading for hours. And this is exactly the kind of story Leah shares in this week's episode. Except even more surprising in some ways. Her birth was truly self-directed, and the midwives seemed to be holding the container of safety, offering options and reminders and cervical checks when she asked for them, but always deferring back to her direction.There is so much in this story that I hope plants seeds of possibility of nuance in the spectrum of what's possible in birth.And she also shares about the practice of postpartum yoni steaming, and how that was a key to her personal pelvic floor healing after her severe tear which required surgery. So you'll hear about that, too!Resources:Sign up for the waitlist for Natural Contraception the Herbal Way program!Free Track Your Cycle Naturally (FAM) guideToday's shownotes: Get links to Leah's steaming + birthwork offeringsEpisode 25: Immediate postpartum care the herbal way w Liz PhilbrickHarvard study -- reduced inflammation through kinder self-talkcouldn't find the study but found these:Mindfulness + positive health outcomes - Harvard professor Ellen Langer + Harvard HealthEmodiversity + Biomarkers of InflammationIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdom.  And if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

In this episode, Mat Sorensen and Mark J. Kohler dive into one of the most underrated wealth-building tools out there: the Health Savings Account (HSA).

Are you a driven mom who wants to be present—but you're drowning in overwhelm and “control mode”?This conversation shows you how to get crystal-clear on your family vision, build secure attachment/connection, and set firm, kind boundaries so kids become self-directed—without you turning into the “mean, controlling parent.”In this candid episode, Greg and Rachel break down the yin–yang of parenting—high standards + healthy surrender—so you can lead your family without micromanaging. You'll learn time-chunking, strategic disengagement, and simple charts & systems (starting with the morning routine) that create calm, predictable days. We also unpack why quality and quantity time (especially in key developmental years) is the foundation of trust, attachment, and influence.If you've ever thought, “I've tried everything,” this is your roadmap to clarity, consistency, and connection—without burnout.Key Takeaways✅ Vision first: You can't hit a target you don't have—define your family vision and align daily “micro-visions.”✅ Attachment over control: Connection creates cooperation; control breeds rebellion or resentment.✅ Quality and quantity time: Presence (especially ages 0–6, and up to 25) builds trust and influence.✅ Boundaries you honor: Time-chunking + strategic disengagement protect work and family time.✅ Systems over stress: Start with a morning routine chart; train, then let kids choose how within clear boundaries.✅ Lead without micromanaging: Be playful + firm on non-negotiables; give freedom on details.✅ The obstacle is the way: Overwhelm signals where to build skills and systems next.Memorable Quotes

You don't have a willpower problem. You have a nervous system problem. In this episode, I'm breaking down the eight principles of self-directed neuroplasticity—how to actually rewire your brain so drinking less stops being a battle and starts becoming automatic. Here's what most people don't understand: You can't change your drinking habits while you're operating in overwhelm. Your brain literally doesn't have access to the circuits required for behavior change when you're in survival mode. Which is why all the rules, commitments, and white-knuckling haven't worked. You've been trying to force change from a state that makes change neurologically impossible. In this episode, you'll learn: Why alcohol use disorder is a stress response pattern, not a character flaw The 5 steps of the stress response (and why recognizing The Wall changes everything) Why shame makes change impossible—and what to do instead The 8 principles that make lasting brain change possible Why short, gentle daily somatic practices work better than dramatic or intense lifestyle changes How to build new habits without fighting the old ones This isn't fluffy self-help. This is neuroscience. And once you understand how your brain actually works, you stop blaming yourself and start solving the real problem. Click here to BOOK A DISCOVERY CALL if you're ready to fully commit to your personal growth and do the work to get emotionally sober. Side effects include an 80 percent reduction in drinking.

This is the story of Kriti's Labor and Birth and how they made the decisions moving through each phase. The highlight of the story is 'Self direction' . It is not important where you really birth, what is important at the core of it all is how 'self directed' a family is in their birth choices. Kriti and Ashish are a grounded couple who take time to decide what is good for them, they listen in and are great examples of strength, inner strength.

In this episode, we explore the concept of supplementing relationships in Autism, focusing on the vivid internal dialogues and imaginative "movies" that feel profoundly real. These self-directed monologues and conversations with imagination create a safe, predictable space for social engagement, contrasting with the chaotic external world. We dive into Kanner's and Asperger's insights on self-directed speech, used for self-soothing or processing thoughts, not communication. Kanner observed children muttering during solitary play, while Asperger noted lecture-like monologues reflecting autistic intelligence.I will share personal experiences of vivid internal dialogues emerging soon after waking, free of external speech issues but disrupted by real-world interactions. These internal relationships, as frequent as an extrovert's, pose challenges when balancing with social expectations, offering a predictable haven for exploring restricted interestsSupplementing Relationships with Visual Thinking https://youtu.be/lglEGQ7pSlc?si=TgwuMMFGRPmAcCwkDaylight Computer Companyuse "autism" for $25 off athttps://buy.daylightcomputer.com/RYAN03139Chroma Iight Devicesuse "autism" for 10% discount athttps://getchroma.co/?ref=autism0:00 Chroma Light Devices, use "autism" for 10% discount03:11 Supplementing Relationships and Autism: Supplementing relationships, autism, internal dialogue, monologue, imagination, vivid movies, real-like, accelerator.04:14 Historical Context of Autism Start Time: Autism history, autos, self, dreamlike states, Eugen Bleuler, 1900s, schizophrenia, late 1950s.05:14 Shared Phenotypes and Kanner/Asperger Contributions: Autism, schizophrenia, phenotypes, speech, language, motor control, intensity, Kanner, Asperger, self-directed communication.05:55 Autism, Isolation, and Speech/Language Challenges: Isolation, chaotic world, speech issues, language issues, biology, socialness, negative experiences.07:12 Kanner's Observations on Self-Directed Speech: Kanner, self-directed speech, internal needs, self-soothing, narrating thoughts, solitary play, no listener, repetitive activities.09:33 Asperger's Insights on Monologues and Autistic Intelligence: Asperger, monologues, obsessions, academic style, self-satisfaction, autistic intelligence, accelerated learning, solitary activities.12:23 Personal Experience with Internal Dialogues and Disruptions: Personal experience, internal dialogues, vivid movies, waking fixation, motor movements, silent speaking, listening dissonance, medial prefrontal cortex.15:00 Internal Socialness, Supplementing Relationships, and Real-World Challenges: Internal socialness, extrovert comparison, no speech issues, supplementing relationships, vivid imagination, real-world social challenges, predictability, restricted interests, early memories.19:08 Reviews/Ratings & Contact Info19:50 Daylight Computer Company, use "autism" for $25 discountX: https://x.com/rps47586YT: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGxEzLKXkjppo3nqmpXpzuAemail: info.fromthespectrum@gmail.com

Adam Bergman is a well-known figure in the world of retirement planning, particularly for his pioneering work in the self-directed IRA (Individual Retirement Account) industry. As the founder of IRA Financial, a leading firm specializing in self-directed retirement accounts, Adam has built a reputation as a highly respected expert on alternative investments and tax-advantaged retirement strategies.Before founding IRA Financial, Adam worked as an attorney specializing in tax law, focusing on retirement and investment strategies.

Smirks emerge quite quickly when you mention “role model” and “leaders” in the same breath.  Most peoples' experiences with leaders as role models have been that they encompass the “what not do as a leader” variety.  Hanmen Kyoshi (反面教師) or teacher by negative example, as we have noted in Japanese.  What are some of the things we should be focused on in our quest to become a real role model for our teams? We can break the role model aspect into four major areas: Self-Aware; Accountability; Others-Focused and Strategic.  Within these four categories, there are eleven sub-categories on which we are going to focus today.  Do a mental audit on yourself and see how many boxes you can check, acknowledging that you are doing a good job. 1.    Self-Aware covers a number of sub-categories: “Self-Directed”. Leaders have to give others direction, so they must be independent types who don't have to rely on others to know what to do.  They have to be “Self-Regulated” which is a fancy pants way of saying they need strong personal discipline.  The leader has to decide what needs to be done and then marshals everything needed to get the job done.  This effort has to be sustained over time and that is where the self-discipline aspect kicks in. “Develop Self” talks about taking 100% responsibility for one's own career.  Depending on others, or the company in general, to take care of your career is folly.  We need to represent value to an employer, because if we don't, then we will be replaced by someone who does.  The tricky thing about business is they keep moving the goalposts.  What was required when you started and what is required today may be quite different. Scarily different. I see so many senior leaders and friends sacked by the organisation, despite many years of loyal and successful service.  A new CEO arrives, a merger takes place or a new direction for the firm is set and the next thing you know, you are out.  If you have been pursuing your own personal growth, then there is a safety factor involved there to enable you to weather the storms.  If you have just been working hard, which is admirable, you are left tired and then on the street. “Confident” is a vague term, really.  What actually defines being “confident”.  We can recognise it more easily than we can articulate it.  A leader who has confidence speaks in a certain way, with gravitas, with a certain finality.  Hesitation never arises and the body language backs up the confident words. 2.    Accountability is another area with sub-categories: “Competent” describes our capability to understand the business and do the work.  Most people rise through the ranks, so they have done the jobs their staff are doing, so they know the content well.  Changing jobs and entering as a mid-career hire can sometimes make the competence piece a challenge, though.  We have to be a fast learner to build credibility. “Honesty and Integrity” are both problem sub-categories.  Honesty is easier to gauge than integrity.  We can see if you are honest and can measure it.  However, while everyone says how important integrity is, defining it is a challenging task.  Saying and doing what you say is a fundamental basis of demonstrating integrity, as is standing for higher ideals.  How do you actually behave when no one is watching?  3.    Others-Focused is a big sub-category and so not all aspects can be covered here, but we will focus on some key areas: “Inspiring” is in the eyes of the beholder, so as the boss, you have to create the environment where everyone can be inspired.  We need to uncover what the range of views on the subject are amongst the troops, to get an idea of how we need to appeal to everyone's individual needs.  This means making time to talk to people, rather than just barking out leader commands all day long. “Develops Others” means going beyond the managerial functions of everything done on time, to spec and to budget.  We have looked at this earlier. It means putting time into coaching staff and giving them stretch tasks through delegation.  Most people stay functionally at the manager level and never quite level up sufficiently to become a true leader.  Whose fault is that? I would argue it is their boss who has failed them.  The leader's job is to create other leaders, and every organisation is crying out for good leaders. “Positively Influences Others” is an all weather skill for leaders. Our grumpy mood, short temper, irritability can bring down the motivation of the team.  Also, speaking ill of other divisions or sections to knit our own team together, a weak leader favourite, makes the team doubt the robustness of the organisation. “Effectively Communicates” sounds reasonable, except most leaders are not very good at speaking in public.  They do not generate confidence in what they are saying by the unprofessional way in which they are saying it.  The solution is simplicity itself: we need to get the training to master this attribute. 4.  The last category we will cover here is Strategic. We will deal with just one sub-category “Uses Authority Appropriately”.  We are talking about using our position power for good, rather than self-aggrandisement.  Bossing people around to boost our own fragile ego and having the need for power over others is totally sad.  We are given power to help our people do better - that is the only reason.  So how was your self-audit?  We now have a framework to place around the term “role model” and we know where we have more work to do.  Always a good thing for a leader.   

School's just about out for the summer - now what? Many parents will have signed their kids up for numerous camps and enrichment experiences by now, making sure that they won't have to hear the dreaded “I'm bored!” refrain repeated endlessly. That makes sense since kids are often passive receivers - of entertainment that both their technology and many toys that are made for children provide. They are also often passive recipients of education. Most are required to go to a formal school setting whether or not they want to, where they tend to be externally motivated by systems of rewards and punishments to do what adults tell them to do and learn what they're told to learn and when. This means that many kids these days don't have or take as many opportunities to create their own fun or decide what to do with their time as they once did. Furthermore, high-pressure academic environments can leave kids feeling anxious and depressed about where they fall in grade rankings - or that their scores are worth more than they are. Rather than developing a love of learning, these kids can end up developing the false idea that how they “perform” their learning means more than the learning itself.Transcript: https://project-parenthood.simplecast.com/episodes/5-ways-to-encourage-a-self-directed-summer-encore/transcriptSources: What Is Self-Directed Education?

Trust Your Kids More and Worry About Them Less isn't just advice—it's a revolutionary mindset that could change your parenting forever. In this powerful episode of The 1000 Hours Outside Podcast, host Ginny Yurich sits down with Ned Johnson and Dr. William Stixrud, authors of The Self-Driven Child and The Seven Principles for Raising a Self-Driven Child, to explore what children really need to thrive in today's high-pressure, performance-driven culture. Drawing from decades of experience in neuropsychology, education, and working with families, Ned and Bill share a deeply hopeful and science-backed message: when kids feel a sense of control over their lives, their mental health flourishes, their motivation ignites, and their joy returns. Together, they unpack the cultural myths that are crushing childhood—like the belief that success hinges on relentless achievement or acceptance to a prestigious college. Instead, they advocate for autonomy, play, radical downtime, and the steady practice of parental trust. With humor, warmth, and actionable insight, this conversation offers an honest look at the fears we carry as parents and how to loosen our grip without letting go. If you've ever wondered how to raise a resilient, happy, and truly self-driven child, this episode will equip you to start today—with confidence. ** Get your copy of The Seven Principles of a Self-Directed child here Learn more about Dr. William Stixrud and Ned Johnson here Learn more about your ad choices.

The wealthy are using one unique retirement account to build their fortunes tax-free. You may have never heard of it, but knowing about it can change the course of your retirement planning, allowing you to invest in much more than stocks, index funds, and bonds in your retirement accounts.  We're talking about making passive real estate income tax-deferred, flipping houses and sheltering the profits for when you retire, or having a rental property portfolio producing massive passive income, all with the tax benefits of your 401(k), IRA, or Roth IRA.  We're, of course, talking about the self-directed IRA (SDIRA) and the sizable benefits that come with it.  To help, John Bowens (Certified IRA Services Professional) from Equity Trust is on the show to share the tax advantages most Americans have zero clue about. Scott starts the interview by coming in hot, throwing out his most significant objections to an SDIRA. We were even surprised by just how many benefits this single account has and how you can use it in ways most people would never assume of a retirement account. We're talking about how to buy rental properties IN your retirement accounts (and profit from them tax-free/deferred), whether a self-directed IRA or 401(k) makes the most sense for you, the “material participation” rule that you CANNOT afford to break, and how much this account costs to set up. This is a game-changing account for retirees who want to live a rich life, so do not skip out on it! In This Episode We Cover Scott's biggest objections to the self-directed IRA (is he wrong?) How to get tax-free/deferred passive income from real estate in your retirement accounts  The one tax that you MUST know about before investing in an SDIRA  Can you get a mortgage for a rental property in an SDIRA? How much an SDIRA costs to set up and keep going (less than you'd think) And So Much More!

SAMHSA defines recovery as a “process of change through which individuals improve their health and wellness, live a self-directed life, and strive to reach their full potential.” But how do you define recovery for yourself? Today, our hosts delve into the complexities of defining and understanding recovery in bipolar disorder. They discuss the constant struggle to distinguish between bipolar symptoms and “normal” mood fluctuations, the importance of self-directed recovery goals, and the role of medication. Dr. Nicole provides insights on what constitutes a "normal" mood, while Gabe, who lives with bipolar disorder, emphasizes the value of personalizing recovery journeys. Tune in for an enlightening conversation that challenges common misconceptions, offers practical advice, and empowers you to take charge of your mental health. Don't miss this essential guide to navigating life with bipolar disorder! To learn more -- or read the transcript -- please visit the official episode page. "Recovery is complicated. It shouldn't be.

And once we get comfortable with the idea that recovery is personal, we can get comfortable with the idea that recovery is self-directed." ~Gabe Howard Resource Links:   https://store.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/pep12-recdef.pdf (shows entire pamphlet) https://www.samhsa.gov/find-help/recovery (references definition) https://store.samhsa.gov/sites/default/files/sma16-4958.pdf (pamphlet w/ dimensions of wellness) Our Host, Gabe Howard, is an award-winning writer and speaker who lives with bipolar disorder.
