Today's episode is a heartfelt conversation about the importance of helping neurodivergent children understand themselves and their brain profile, and how this understanding can foster confidence and self-advocacy. Emily talks with Dr. Liz Angoff about the need for transparent communication with children about their diagnoses, and the use of relatable metaphors to explain complex concepts. They discuss collaborative approaches in assessments, the challenges of co-occurring diagnoses, and the role of parents in supporting their children. How can families find practitioners who align with neurodiversity-affirming practices, and how can that lead to understanding and acceptance for both children and their families? Get comfortable, today's conversation covers a lot of ground. TAKEAWAYS Helping kids understand their brain profiles is crucial. Self-understanding fosters confidence and self-advocacy. Using relatable metaphors can aid in explaining neurodiversity. Labels can serve as anchors for understanding experiences. Children often internalize negative labels if not addressed. Collaborative assessments enhance understanding for both kids and parents. Empowering parents shifts the narrative from deficits to differences. Finding the right practitioner is essential for supportive assessments. Normalizing neurodiversity can change family dynamics for life.

In this episode, Margaret revisits the concept of equanimity, presenting it not just as a serene state of mind but as an essential practice that helps us respond wisely to life's fluctuations. Life's ups and downs can feel overwhelming, but Margaret offers strategies for maintaining our grounding amidst the emotional tides. She delves into the Buddhist teachings of karma and the idea of “not-self,” encouraging listeners to recognize that our experiences—both joyful and sorrowful—are intertwined with our actions and the actions of others. This understanding can be liberating, allowing us to embrace our life's circumstances without fear. Equanimity, as Margaret explains, is not about indifference or detachment; rather, it is the capacity to engage with both joy and suffering without being swept away by them. Through thoughtful meditation practices and reflective insights, she illustrates how we can nurture this sense of balance, fostering a compassionate heart that remains steady even when faced with turmoil. This season of the podcast invites you to explore your capacity for equanimity, helping you to cultivate a deeper understanding of yourself and your responses to the world around you. Tune in for an enriching conversation that promises to inspire and guide you toward a more balanced and peaceful existence.

We'll see how the world doesn't just randomly reconfigure itself—it bends in response to those who apply relentless energy and unwavering focus. You'll discover how the barriers you perceive as fixed are often just collective agreements waiting to be challenged, and why the people who reshape industries aren't gifted with special powers—they simply refuse to accept artificial limitations. The ability to see constraints as flexible rather than fixed isn't just motivational thinking—it's the fundamental mindset that has created every breakthrough innovation and industry transformation throughout history.

Despite economic growth, happiness levels have declined since the 1940s.

Since then, the world has continued to change in ways that affect our emotional, social, and even physical health. Today, Jeff joins me again to reflect on what has shifted in the past two years—both in the world and in his own perspective—and to share new insights on how we can cultivate happiness, connection, and purpose as we age.Golden highlights the importance of inner factors like self-worth and relationships over material possessions.

Welcome to another thought-provoking episode of the Daily Living for Christ podcast! Today, we take a deep dive into Genesis 3, exploring how the false self emerged in the garden and how it continues to shape our lives today.Before the fall, Adam and Eve lived in perfect union with God—fully known, fully loved, and free from fear. But with the serpent's temptation came a shift—the introduction of power, control, and self-rule that led humanity away from divine trust and into self-protection. This moment gave birth to the false self, a survival mechanism rooted in insecurity, fear, and the pursuit of identity outside of God.In this episode, we'll uncover:✅ How Genesis 3 reveals the roots of the false self and humanity's struggle with control and independence from God.✅ Why the false self isn't inherently evil but is a byproduct of living outside God's will.✅ The deep connection between fear, rejection, and the need for approval in shaping our false identities.✅ How material possessions, achievements, and self-sufficiency deceive us into feeling secure.✅ Practical steps to recognize the false self and shift toward wholeness and trust in God.Donald also introduces the Saboteur Assessment, (click the link to take the free assessment) a powerful tool to help uncover  where the false self is operating in your life and how to begin the journey back to living in wholeness with God.Are you ready to move beyond fear, control, and self-sufficiency to embrace your true identity in Christ?

Since Pluto left Capricorn in November, the collective energy has shifted. You might not feel it personally, but chances are you've noticed it in friends or family.There's a pull toward authentic connection — deeper, wilder, more aligned.

In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy invites us to explore the transformative power of belief and the role it plays in achieving our goals. Kris challenges us to rethink the foundational beliefs that shape our actions. She unpacks why we often struggle to achieve what we genuinely want and explains how shifting our mindset can open doors to growth and fulfillment. Drawing inspiration from Dr. Henry Cloud's book Necessary Endings, Kris examines the art of letting go. She likens this to pruning a rose bush, where cutting back is necessary to allow the healthiest growth and new possibilities to emerge. This serves as a reminder that releasing what no longer serves us can create space for new possibilities. Kris also expands on the idea of ‘purging,' encouraging leaders to apply this principle across their lives and businesses. Whether it's clients, vendors, technology tools, relationships, or team members, she emphasizes the importance of evaluating what aligns with our purpose and letting go of what doesn't. “All that fear that you had that it would be terrible, fueled you keeping someone in your business. When the truth is, releasing them is going to create so much space and freedom for them, too,” Kris reminds us. This episode is a call to action for leaders who are ready to eliminate the elements holding them back and to invest their energy into what truly matters. Are you ready to challenge your beliefs, release what's no longer serving you, and step into a new version of yourself? Tune in and discover how these practices can revolutionize your life and leadership journey.

In this introspective episode titled “2024 Wrap-Up Manifesto, Alice in Wonderland, and How My Delusional Thinking Led to the Greatest Breakthroughs of the Year,” Karen takes us down the rabbit hole of self-discovery and transformation. Through tales of emotional unblocking, nervous system recalibration, and career evolution, she unpacks the magic of embracing discomfort, navigating authenticity, and trusting life's divine timing. From Human Design to subconscious reprogramming, Karen's journey shows how “delusional” belief in unseen possibilities can spark real breakthroughs and a year of profound growth. Rediscovering What You Truly Want (00:00–01:00) Karen shares how she was stuck, questioning her life and career, until she finally asked herself: What do I truly want? Instead of settling for “just a paycheck,” she redefined success and took bold steps toward creating a career and life she loves. Takeaway: Give yourself permission to pause, reflect, and reconnect with what excites you. Don't settle—clarity is where transformation starts. It's Never Too Late to Start Over (05:00–06:00) While many peers were winding down their careers, Karen was ramping up. She reminds us that everyone's timeline is different. Takeaway: Stop comparing your journey to others. Your timing is yours—honor it. Your Body Knows the Truth (20:00–22:00) Karen learned to listen to her nervous system—words like “I should,” “I better,” and “I have to” were signs she was in fight-or-flight mode. Takeaway: When those phrases creep in, ask yourself: Why do I feel this way? Then prioritize rest, breathing, or simply doing less. Trapped Emotions Manifest Physically (24:00–25:00) Unprocessed emotions build up, often showing as tension, pain, or anxiety. Karen realized her teeth grinding and constant high energy weren't “normal” but signals from her body to slow down. Takeaway: Check in with your body—tight jaws, clenched fists, or even chronic aches might be your emotions asking for attention. Stop Choosing “Comfortable Misery” (33:00–34:00) Karen explains how we often cling to what's familiar—even if it's unfulfilling—because it feels safer than risking the unknown. Takeaway: Ask yourself: Am I holding onto something because it's familiar, or because it's truly good for me? Choose the unfamiliar if it aligns with your values and dreams. The Relationship Between Love and Money (37:00–39:00) Karen explores the link between scarcity in money and love, noting that how we show up in one area often mirrors the other. Takeaway: Reflect on where you might be accepting less than you deserve—whether in relationships or finances. Start setting higher standards in both. Human Design as a Blueprint for Self-Understanding (45:00–47:00) Discovering Human Design was life-changing for Karen. It helped her understand her energy (as a Generator) and gave her tools to align with her purpose. Takeaway: Explore your Human Design. It's a unique roadmap to your authentic self—helping you focus on what truly lights you up. Deconditioning and Letting Go (51:00–52:00) Karen talks about the power of shedding subconscious beliefs that keep us small. By letting go, she created space for authenticity and abundance. Takeaway: Ask: What beliefs are holding me back? Then actively challenge and rewrite those narratives. Make Space for What's Next (50:00–51:00) Clearing out her physical and mental clutter helped Karen open up to new opportunities and clarity. Takeaway: Start small—organize your closet, clean a drawer, or tackle one lingering task. Clearing space in your environment often clears your mind too. Trust the Bigger Plan (44:00–46:00) Karen leaned into her faith, trusting that every challenge and insight was divinely ordered. This trust gave her peace and clarity. Takeaway: Trust that where you are is exactly where you're meant to be. Look for lessons in the pauses and embrace the process.   Final Thoughts from Karen Karen's journey is a reminder that life is about evolution, not perfection. It's okay to pivot, to dig deeper, and to dream of what's possible—even when it feels uncertain. Her message is simple: trust yourself, listen to your body, and don't be afraid to go all in on the life you deserve. What resonates most with you from Karen's reflections?

This week's show is with Sarah Janes. Author, researcher, curator, retreat/workshop facilitator and public speaker, Sarah Janes specialises in the ancient history and culture of dreaming and has been an enthusiastic lucid dreamer since childhood. Sarah is passionate about the potential of dreaming for physical, emotional, creative and spiritual upliftment, not just for individuals, but for culture and society. Sarah is co-director and curator of Dream Palace Athens, a symposium and deep-dreaming residency project in Greece. She is also the host of popular online lecture series Explorers Egyptology. Sarah has collaborated with Rupert Sheldrake and the British Pilgrimage Trust to reinvigorate the practice of dream incubation at sacred sites around the UK. Currently leading retreats to the ancient dream incubation sanctuaries of the Mediterranean, Sarah is now based between Hastings in England and Archaia Epidavros in the Peloponnese. Sarah's book: Initiation into Dream Mysteries: Drinking from the Pool of Mnemosyne explores the history and culture of dreaming in the Western Esoteric Tradition and is available from all book sellers and on Audible. In this show, Sarah and Lian delve into the profound world of dreams and lucid dreaming, exploring how these altered states of consciousness shape our understanding of reality. They discuss Sarah's lifelong passion for dreaming, the philosophical implications of lucidity, and the potential for personal growth and transformation within the dream realm. They explore the connection between lucid dreaming and hypnagogic states, highlight the transformative nature of these experiences, and share practical techniques for achieving lucidity. Together, they reflect on the role of ancient wisdom in dream practices, consider the cosmic perspective lucid dreaming provides, and emphasise the significance of memory and intention in shaping our dream experiences. We'd love to know what YOU think about this week's show. Let's carry on the conversation… please leave a comment wherever you are listening or in any of our other spaces to engage. What you'll learn from this episode: Dreams offer a unique intersection of sleep and wakefulness, providing a space for insight and creativity that taps into our deepest desires and fears. Through lucid dreaming, we can actively engage with these elements for self discovery. Hypnagogic states, those transitional moments between wakefulness and sleep, can be used as a pathway into lucid dreaming, allowing us to consciously enter the dream realm. In this state, we are connected to ancient cultural practices that viewed dreams as essential tools for decision-making and self-understanding. Lucid dreaming is not simply a binary experience but can manifest in varying degrees of awareness - lucidity is a spectrum. By setting intentions, practicing memory recall, and recording dreams, we can deepen our understanding and appreciation of the dream world as a transformative and healing space.

Suppose you polled therapists and asked them what the most controversial diagnosis is in the current version of the DSM. Many of us would likely say Borderline Personality Disorder, and it would certainly be in almost everybody's top three.I've been wanting to do an episode on BPD for a bit because there is something about this controversial diagnosis that allows us to explore the challenging and consequential nature of psychiatric diagnosis itself.To guide us in this exploration, I've had the privilege of inviting Dr. Awais Aftab, a leading authority in the field. His extensive work on philosophical, ethical, and scientific issues related to diagnosis makes him the perfect person to delve into this complex topic with. Awais Aftab, MD, is a psychiatrist in Cleveland, Ohio, and Clinical Assistant Professor of Psychiatry at Case Western Reserve University. He led the interview series "Conversations in Critical Psychiatry" for Psychiatric Times, which explores critical and philosophical perspectives in psychiatry, with a book adaptation forthcoming from Oxford University Press. He is a senior editor for Philosophy, Psychiatry, & Psychology and has been actively involved in initiatives to educate psychiatrists and trainees on conceptual and critical issues. He blogs at Psychiatry at the Margins.In the conversation, we dig into whether Borderline Personality Disorder is “real” and what that means, how it relates to the philosophical concept of epistemic injustice, how context influences the utility of a diagnosis, and more.Listen to the full episode to hear:How treatment of people diagnosed with Borderline Personality Disorder frequently illustrates aspects of epistemic injustice/justiceThe ways that clinical setting and context influence the use, or misuse, of BPD as a diagnostic label and how that impacts patientsHow quantitative psychology is influencing how we conceptualize personality disordersWhy a BPD diagnosis can be intensely valuable for some clients, and how it helps guide cliniciansWhy we can't chalk up all psychopathology to traumaHow calls for testimonial justice from psychiatric patients should serve as a corrective force to excessive skepticism of patient narrativesLearn more about Dr. Awais Aftab:Psychiatry at the MarginsX: @awaisaftabLearn more about Riva Stoudt:Into the Woods CounselingThe Kiln SchoolInstagram: @atherapistcantsaythatResources:Borderline Personality and Self-Understanding of PsychopathologyEpistemic injusticeThe epistemic injustice of borderline personality disorder,  Jay Watts, BJPsych InternationalA Metaphysics of Psychopathology, Peter ZacharPeter Fonagy

In the third lecture of the Sophia Lecture series, Professor Douglas Hedley embarks on an intellectual journey that explores the enigmatic nature of play and its profound impact on human life, drawing from ancient philosophies and modern psychological theories. Delving into the works of Heraclitus and Plato, Hedley examines the paradoxical relationship between play and seriousness and how this dynamic shapes our understanding of life's deepest questions. He discusses the transformative power of poetic language, the importance of embracing the child's soul, and the role of play as a bridge between our inner realities and the external world. Furthermore, Hedley reflects on mental health, cultural shifts, and the significance of the humanities in providing a sense of purpose and meaning, ultimately arguing that engaging with foundational texts and embracing play can help us navigate the complexities of modern life and contribute to our overall well-being.   Douglas Hedley is a Professor in the Philosophy of Religion at the University of Cambridge and a Fellow at Clare College. His work spans the fields of philosophy, theology, and psychology, focusing on the intersection of ancient wisdom and modern thought.   Glossary of Terms   Ion: Time period, sometimes interpreted as "lifetime" or "eternity."   Sophrosyne: Excellence in character; moderation; self-control; leading to well-being.   Resources   Ralston College  Website: https://www.ralston.ac/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@RalstonCollegeSavannah X: https://twitter.com/RalstonCollege   Douglas Hedley https://www.ralston.ac/people/douglas-hedley Homo Ludens: A Study of the Play-Element in Culture - Johan Huizinga  https://www.amazon.com/Homo-Ludens-Study-Play-Element-Culture/dp/1621389995   The Coddling of the American Mind: How Good Intentions and Bad Ideas Are Setting Up a Generation for Failure - Greg Lukianoff Jonathan Haidt https://www.amazon.com/Coddling-American-Mind-Intentions-Generation/dp/0735224897   Playing and Reality -  D.

In this episode of Leadership is Feminine, Kris Plachy invites you to ponder a compelling question: What would your thoughts be if they weren't constantly shaped by external stimuli? She challenges you to reflect on the nature of your thinking—how much of it is truly original, and how much is reactive to your daily interactions, from conversations to the media you consume. Kris encourages you to embark on a journey of self-awareness and self-exploration, emphasizing the importance of understanding and reflecting on your own thought processes. This exploration isn't just about identifying what you think, but why and how your environment influences those thoughts. She suggests that true leadership requires a keen self-awareness that allows you to critically assess and navigate your thoughts, which in turn shapes your actions and leadership style. Kris's conversation is a call to action for you to cultivate a more mindful approach to your thoughts and leadership, freeing yourself from automatic responses to create space for genuine self-discovery and growth. “I think our lives are better if we're willing to invest in them and investigate them and seek out ideas and insight and explore all that we already have within us to know.”  Key Takeaways From This Episode Exploring Self-Introspection: Reflecting on personal behaviors and thoughts  What might you think without external stimuli?
