The holidays are supposed to feel magical, but let's be honest — sometimes they just feel messy. Between packed calendars, Pinterest pressure, and the endless to-do lists, it's easy to forget what this season is really about: connection.

You'll walk away with ideas that are simple to start, fun for the whole family, and proven (by you — the listeners!) to create the kind of memories your kids will still talk about years from now.

Every few years, conversations about education in the U.S. circle back to the same refrain: Why can't we be more like Finland?In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Chrishawn Finister from Your Joy Psychological, PLLC to unpack this comparison.We dig into the nuanced relationship between educational eligibility and clinical diagnosis, which often overlap but aren't interchangeable. From there, we widen the lens to explore the broader systems-level challenges that shape how students are identified, supported, and served.Some key themes we discuss:✅ Orthographic density and literacy: Why differences in written language systems matter when comparing reading outcomes across countries.✅ Population homogeneity and “education tracks”: When we look at instructional outcomes data, the students included in the education system and the numbers matter. Are the same individuals “counting” when we compare results across countries? ✅ Teacher pay and professional identity: What Finland's investment in teacher preparation and salary looks like compared to the U.S. (spoiler alert: Dr. Finister and I both think the US should be more like Finland on this one). ✅ Cultural perceptions of medicine vs. education: Why recommendations from evaluations are perceived differently depending on the setting and who is making decisions about services.✅ Housing instability and socioeconomic factors: We're educating students with complex needs in the US who have varying experiences outside of school. With this in mind, has the education system made more progress than what the media is saying? Rather than looking for a one-size-fits-all solution, we highlight why U.S. educators, policymakers, and clinicians need to understand the challenges and opportunities when designing systems of support.If you've ever wondered where the lines between clinical diagnosis and educational eligibility blur, this conversation will give you a grounded perspective.Dr. Chrishawn Finister is an Independent Practicing Licensed Psychological Associate and a Licensed Specialist in School Psychology, possessing over a decade of experience in the role of School Psychologist. Recognized as a Nationally Certified School Psychologist, she is committed to utilizing diagnostically sound assessments to identify learning barriers and implementing research-based interventions to amend challenging behaviors effectively. Dr. Finister is an advocate of culturally competent practices and is dedicated to training future practitioners in the field. She received her foundational training in psychological pedagogy and assessments at Texas Woman's University, where she completed her Master's degree in 2010. While working in a prominent North Texas public school district, she advanced her education by earning a Doctoral degree in Educational Leadership and Policy from the University of Texas at Arlington in 2019. Her contributions to the field extend to academia, where she has served as a guest lecturer at the College of Education at Texas Christian University.Places to connect with Dr. Finister:Her private practice, Your Joy Psychological, PLLCWebsite: https://yourjoypsych.com/Business Instagram: @yourjoypsychHer NonProfit, Texas Psychological Hive: https://thetexaspsychhive.org/Non-profit Instagram: @texaxpsychhiveAdditional Resources Mentioned in this episode:Steven Pinker: https://stevenpinker.com/Mark Manson: https://markmanson.net/Dr. Tim Shanahan: https://www.shanahanonliteracy.com/In this episode, I mention Language Therapy Advance Foundations, my program that gives SLPs and other service providers a system for language therapy.

In this episode, I share my top five lessons for mom entrepreneurs managing a flexible schedule. I talk about how I've overcome guilt for enjoying midday freedom—reminding myself and my fellow working moms that this flexibility is a strength we've created, not a luxury. I explain how I define what “done” looks like by setting clear goals and calendar blocking, which helps me avoid overwhelm and improve my productivity. I discuss the boundaries I set to honor my off-hours, boosting both my work and family life. I also share how I reduce decision fatigue with planned routines and themed family dinners, making daily life with a business smoother. Finally, I reveal how pre-planning and batching household tasks keeps me focused as a business owner and mom. These productivity tips help me—and hopefully you—find balance, thrive in entrepreneurship, and enjoy more time with your family.  Free Resources:Join 30 Day Calendar Blocking Blueprint and finally feel in control. ​Click here to join the next round. ​Are you a business owner making $100,000+ and still wearing all the hats? ​Click here​ to learn about my upcoming 12-week Outsourcing Mastermind.Are you an aspiring or newer business owner who needs some accountability and clarity on the next steps? ​Click here​ to join my 6-month accountability group - Simplify.

In this episode of The Sunlight Tax Podcast, I'm excited to share something I've been working on for a long time, my new book, Taxes for Humans. This book is for freelancers, artists, and self-employed folks who want to finally understand their taxes and take control of their money. I talk about why tax education matters so much when you work for yourself, how complicated the self-employment system can be, and why I created a character called the Tax Dominatrix to make learning about taxes a lot more fun and less intimidating. I also explain why pre-ordering the book is such a big deal. It helps make sure Taxes for Humans is available to everyone, including people who can't afford traditional financial education programs.   Also mentioned in this episode: 01:17 Overview of 'Taxes for Humans' Book 02:15 Understanding Self-Employment Taxes 04:12 Navigating Tax Complexity 05:34 The Tax Dominatrix Concept 07:21 Importance of Pre-Ordering the Book 08:45 Accessibility of Tax Education   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!

In this episode of Transformative Principal, host Jethro Jones interviews Adrian Ireland, an international educator, systems thinker, and author of "Designing Different." Together, they explore the challenges and opportunities in reimagining the architecture of learning within schools. The conversation delves into why educational reform often fails when it focuses on incremental improvements rather than structural changes, emphasizing the importance of authentic learning experiences, student motivation, and agency.Adrian shares insights on how small but significant changes—like creating "sandboxes" for experimentation and expanding the audience for student work—can lead to meaningful transformation. The discussion covers the pitfalls of over-relying on extrinsic motivators like grades, the value of interdisciplinary and project-based learning, and the need for flexible systems that nurture both passion and competence in students. Practical examples, such as school newspapers and project weeks, illustrate how schools can foster ownership, engagement, and real-world skills.Making little pockets where students can be seen in a different light with different experiencesHow education has an architecture problem, not an effort problem. The flow of the river. Curricularize them!Neglect students' autonomy at our own demise.More about motivation. Intrinsic vs. extrinsic motivation.False fails - good ideas that are implemented into architecture that rejects them. Design principles - authenticity, flexibility, mutuality (we are connected), and simplexity (designed simple but able to handle a complex reality)School Newspaper as an example of mutuality.The whole game at a junior level - Good architectures that already exist. Avenues World SchoolWhat comes first, passion or competence? Interdisciplinary teamsHow to be a transformative principal? Make a decision that we are going to have two official expositions of student work. Create a sandbox, a space of possibility. About Adrian IrelandAdrian Ireland is an international educator, systems thinker, and author dedicated to reimagining the architecture of learning. With extensive experience teaching and leading across Asia and Europe, Adrian has spent his career challenging the traditional, standardized models of education by championing learner-centered approaches that value individuality, curiosity, and creativity. His entrepreneurial mindset drives him to experiment with bold ideas, test innovative systems, and design frameworks that empower both students and educators to thrive. He wears a mix of hats that have shaped his perspectives on education: Watching the development and natural learning progressions of his two boys as father. Coaching Volleyball at both high and low levels. Teaching in the classroom in both middle and high school. Leading full school change efforts around interdisciplinary learning and  project-based learning. Redesigning time and scheduling to allow space for change and most recently Coordinating the MYP (Middle Years Program).  Rooted in both practical classroom experience and a deep understanding of educational theory, Adrian believes that the future of learning lies not in small improvements, but in daring to create something fundamentally different. His work blends systems thinking with human-centered design principles, helping schools and organizations shift toward environments that foster authentic engagement and personal growth.In "Designing Different", Adrian shares the lessons, insights, and strategies gathered from years of navigating the complexity of educational reform, inspiring others to move beyond "better" and design the future of learning.

In Episode 237 of the Soul Fusion Podcast, Penny and Tina return for part 2 of their powerful series on simplifying life, personal growth, and the subconscious habits that keep us in cycles of overwhelm. If you've ever asked yourself: "Why do I feel more stressed the more self-care I do?" "Why does growth feel like another job?" "Why can't I just follow through without burning out?" …this episode will feel like a soul-level exhale. Together, Penny and Tina unpack what happens when well-meaning routines—like journaling, cold plunges, supplements, and breathwork—become band-aids for deeper discomfort. They expose the truth behind our obsession with "doing more to feel better" and shine a light on how these habits are often distractions from the real inner work. Key themes include: Why your subconscious is trying to keep you "safe" by avoiding discomfort How our meaning-making mind fuels the stress response—even during simple tasks like getting kids out the door The emotional and generational patterns that keep us addicted to complexity Why so many high-performers pass stress down to their children without realizing it The illusion of safety in control, and how identity attachment drives overcommitment Penny shares a powerful truth: "You're not actually burned out from life. You're burned out from the meaning you've attached to it." Whether you're a parent, entrepreneur, or spiritual seeker, you'll hear how small subconscious patterns drive big consequences—until you choose to interrupt them. You'll also learn why true transformation requires not more tools, but the right tool: a simple, direct way to access your subconscious and rewire the source of the overwhelm. Tina shares how their Resonance Masterclass taught participants how to quiet the mind, override the inner critic, and access a state of peace in just minutes. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone who's unknowingly turned personal growth into performance. Penny and Tina emphasize that simplifying your life begins with simplifying the stories in your mind. When you drop the "shoulds" and strip away the layers of expectation, you return to clarity, confidence, and choice. Whether you're deep in the work or just awakening to your own patterns, this episode will help you pause the noise, reconnect to your intuition, and finally give yourself permission to make growth feel simple again.

QFF: Quick Fire Friday – Your 20-Minute Growth Powerhouse! Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week. Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends! In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Rob Cameron interviews Etinosa Agbonlahor, CEO of Decision Alpha, about how behavioral economics can transform pricing strategies for small businesses. Etinosa explains how confident pricing decisions not only increase revenue but also strengthen customer retention and long-term growth. She shares insights into using psychology to frame prices effectively and highlights the importance of reviewing pricing regularly. The conversation also touches on overcoming the fear of raising prices and building confidence as a business owner. Etinosa's Behavioral Pricing Playbook explains how to create pricing that scales, sticks, and prevents revenue leaks. Around 80% of businesses undervalue their offerings—and it shows. Most pricing decisions are reactive, based on gut feelings, competitor comparisons, or fear of losing clients. Many business owners postpone pricing optimization until much later, missing out on the powerful compounding effect it could have early on. Studies reveal that improving pricing delivers 2–4 times greater revenue impact than focusing solely on customer acquisition. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: Review Your Pricing Regularly – Treat pricing as a business feature, not a one-time task. Revisit it quarterly to ensure it reflects your current value and market position. Confidence is Key – Most pricing problems come from mindset, not the market. Believe in the value you provide before setting or adjusting prices. Use Psychology in Pricing – How you frame your prices matters as much as the numbers themselves. Smart positioning can make your offers more appealing. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for? Simplify the Customer's Choice – Structure pricing tiers so customers naturally choose your ideal package. Most buyers lean toward the middle option when presented clearly. Reduce the "Pain of Paying" – For low-cost products, consider annual payments over monthly ones to lessen customer resistance and reduce churn. Retain Before You Acquire – Focus on keeping existing customers happy and increasing their spending rather than constantly chasing new ones. One action small business owners can take: According to Etinosa Agbonlahor, one action small business owners can take is to review their pricing strategy regularly—analyzing whether it truly reflects the value they offer and aligns with customer perception. By treating pricing as an ongoing process rather than a one-time setup, business owners can boost profitability, strengthen confidence, and ensure sustainable growth.

In this episode, I'm catching up with play café owner Sarah Kobin, who I first interviewed about a year and a half ago when she was still in the early opening phase of her business.Now that she's been open for 18 months, Sarah shares what's changed — from which revenue streams performed best (and which didn't) to how her team, systems, and daily operations have evolved. We talk about what's surprised her most since opening, what she'd do differently if she could start over, and how her role as the owner has shifted as the business has grown.If you're curious what the first full year of running an indoor playground really looks like — the wins, the lessons, and everything in between — you're going to love this follow-up conversation.Simplify and Scale with 50% OFF WellnessLivingSarah's WebsiteSunshine Play Cafe FacebookSunshine Play Cafe InstagramMeet SarahPROFITABLE PLAY RESOURCES:Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyGetting Started With Your Play Cafe [YouTube Video Playlist]What's Working In The Indoor Play Industry 2025 GuideFund Your Indoor Play Business [Free Training]Indoor Play Courses & 1:1 Consulting WaitlistMichele's InstagramMichele's WebsitePlay Cafe Academy YouTube ChannelETSY Template ShopPrepare Your Indoor Playground For a RecessionPlay Cafe Academy & Play Makers SocietyQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com Play Cafe Academy & Play Makers Society: http://bit.ly/3HES7fDQuestions and Support: Support@michelecaruana.com Simplify and Scale with 50% OFF WellnessLiving: https://discover.wellnessliving.com/playcafeacademyActive Campaign Free Trial: https://www.activecampaign.com/?_r=D6IYK3HG

Melanie Perkins is CEO and co-founder of Canva, currently valued at over $42 billion, generating over $3 billion in annual revenue, with more than 240 million monthly active users and, incredibly, eight consecutive years of profitability. But the journey was far from smooth. Melanie was rejected by over 100 investors during her first fundraising round, her team spent two years without being able to ship a new feature during a technical rewrite, and the company pivoted early from a yearbook publishing platform to become the design powerhouse it is today. Through it all, she maintained what she calls “column B” thinking: building toward a dream future rather than just using the bricks around you.We discuss:1. How “column B” thinking helped Melanie build Canva, by starting with an impossible vision rather than existing constraints2. The power of setting “crazy big goals”3. How Canva survived a painful two-year period without shipping any new features while rewriting their codebase4. How Melanie pushed through 100 investor rejections, and how she used each rejection to strengthen her pitch5. Canva's “two-step plan”: build one of the world's most valuable companies, then do the most good possible6. Melanie's vision for 2050 and why she believes imagination is the first step toward a better world—Brought to you by:Vanta—Automate compliance.
