By modeling behavior, breaking tasks into manageable steps, and connecting cleaning with meaningful rewards, she shows parents how to make tidying up less overwhelming and more empowering for kids. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://nourishingminimalism.com/encourage-kids-clean-declutter/ Quotes to ponder: “Helping them to establish routines teaches them habits that will last a lifetime and will keep their space from ending up an overwhelming mess.” “Specific directions make it clear what you expect from them. With time and practice, they'll know what to do.” “Some are more prone to organization than others, but generally speaking, kids aren't born knowing how to clean and manage stuff.” Learn more about your ad choices.

Do you ever feel that sinking sense of dread when you look around your space and see clutter piling up? Physical clutter, whether papers on your desk, toys in your child's bedroom, or dishes on the kitchen counter, can weigh on your mind just as much as it clutters your home. The longer it sits, the more overwhelming the task feels, and the harder it becomes to get started. In this episode, I share three foundational strategies for tackling clutter with focus and intention. You'll learn how to structure your projects with clear outcomes and timelines, reframe your mindset from dread to motivation, and execute efficiently using practical hacks that actually work. These techniques apply whether you're organizing a drawer, a bedroom, or your whole home, helping you create spaces that reflect who you are now and support the life you want to live.

In this ICYMI episode of I Hear Design, we spotlight a compelling article by Heidi Lapka published on the i+s website on May 28, 2025, that explores how wallcoverings can do far more than beautify; they can actively foster well-being. You'll discover how intentional design with wallcoverings supports the core principles of salutogenesis—the science of designing environments that promote health. Listeners will learn: How wallcoverings enhance the Sense of Coherence by making environments feel comprehensible, manageable, and meaningful, and why that matters for our mental and emotional resilience. The ways thoughtful wallcovering design—through color zoning, visual patterns, or signage—can simplify navigation, reduce cognitive load, and bring clarity to complex interiors like schools, hospitals, and offices. How innovations in material performance—acoustic textures, antimicrobial and low-glare finishes, stain-resistant or moisture-regulating surfaces—make wallcoverings not only comforting but highly functional and maintainable. The deep connection between meaning and design: how biophilic motifs, natural textures, or custom visuals can reflect cultural identity, storytelling, and values—turning walls into healing, human-centered narratives. Emerging trends in sustainable and health-oriented design: recyclable and low-VOC substrates, GREENGUARD or Cradle-to-Cradle certifications, smart surfaces that resist bacteria or absorb sound, and digitally customizable art that brings purpose and place into every wall. Whether you're a designer, builder, educator, healthcare professional, or wellness-curious listener, this episode offers new insights into how wallcoverings can transform spaces into nurturing environments. Tune in to reimagine what your walls can do.
On September 2, 2025, before the first bell even finished ringing, dozens of students at James L. Day Middle School walked out of class to make a simple point: girls should not be forced to undress next to boys in their locker room. Wearing white bows and pink “Save Girls' Sports” bracelets, seventh and eighth graders stood shoulder-to-shoulder, joined by parents and community members demanding privacy and safety for girls.For the first time, the two 8th grade girls who led the protest—and their moms—sit down with This is a Woman Podcast host Sophia Lorey, for an exclusive conversation. They share what it felt like to speak at the school board meeting, why they organized the walkout, and how they're responding to a controversial district policy that labels girls' basic privacy needs as “mental health” or “religious” accommodations.This episode captures the courage of ordinary students and parents who are unwilling to stay silent. It's about protecting girls' innocence, dignity, and safety in California schools—and why sex-based privacy still matters.

This past month we took a look at the timely topic of agritourism and the potential for farms to serve as community and educational centers. This summer we saw a lot of protests against mass tourism and the effects that it's having on tourist centers like Barcelona near where I live. The antidote to this is something that we debate in past episodes I've done on the developing series on regenerative tourism and in this panel session, we'll take a look at it from a farm perspective. In this session I speak to three people who either have integrated farm visits and agrotoursim as a significant part of their farm enterprise, or are working to empower farmers to integrate tourism and commuinity events into their operation. I was lucky enough to get three fantastic guests who I happen to know personally and exemplify some of the best in entrepreneurial tenacity, creativity, and experience.

Creating a sense of history and place on raw land takes vision and patience, and garden designer Tessa Pinner shares how to make it both practical and beautiful. We chat about designing outdoor “rooms,” why smaller spaces can sometimes be easier than wide-open acreage, and how trees, fences, and timeless materials add history and charm. Tessa offers simple, long-term strategies to beat overwhelm and cultivate outdoor spaces that truly feel like home, whether you're on acreage or working with a small backyard. In this episode, we cover: Creating a sense of place on raw land through thoughtful landscape design Why outdoor spaces deserve as much attention as interiors for function and enjoyment Designing “garden rooms” that encourage gathering, eating, and everyday living outside How wide open acreage can feel overwhelming and why smaller yards are sometimes easier to design Using permaculture “zones” to plan spaces from most-used near the house to more relaxed areas farther out The importance of making outdoor spaces safe and hospitable for children and guests Choosing materials that feel timeless and appropriate to the style of the house Balancing beauty, practicality, and budget when designing for features like pools, patios, and fencing Planting trees early to establish maturity and history on a new property The hidden benefit of casting a long-term vision and phasing projects in gradually over many years How to avoid analysis paralysis when planning: books, drawings, and vision over Pinterest overwhelm Hardscaping as the backbone of outdoor spaces— surfaces, boundaries, and seating areas View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

I'm partnering with Rocket PD to offer a live-virtual cohort called Unlocking Teacher Productivity starting October 2nd. This isn't a self-paced course you sign up for and maybe forget about. It's a deep-dive, interactive experience where we'll meet every Thursday for five 90-minute sessions. The sessions run from 5:30–7:00 PM ET, which I know might be early for west coasters—not to mention international folks—and I'm sorry, time zones make it sooo hard! But know this: you don't have to attend live. You'll get access to the recordings so you can watch anytime. If you have a scheduling conflict for one of the Thursday evenings in October, it's not a problem. Here's how it works: each week, we'll meet over Zoom. There will be a mix of my teaching (you'll see my face and slides), short periods for quiet reflection—meaning I'll pause periodically for you to complete exercises so you don't have to do them afterward on your own time—and opportunities for discussion with other educators during the 90-minute session if that's something that appeals to you. I'll also answer questions afterward if you'd like personalized advice. We're going to cover practical systems and strategies to help you get control over your time and your work. You'll learn how to: Get your email under control once and for all. Organize your digital files so you can actually find what you need. Build a to-do list system that doesn't live in your brain 24/7. Plan lessons in advance in a way that's flexible and responsive to your students—no more scrambling the night before. Prioritize high-impact work so you can spend less time on busywork and more time on what really matters for learning. Explore time-blocking, AI tools, productivity for students, and more. Now, if you've taken my 40 Hour Teacher Workweek Full Year course, yes—there's some overlap in concepts, like the target number planner. But this cohort is live and interactive, rather than self-paced, and has built-in accountability because we meet each week and check in to see how the strategies are working for you. And, it's only a five-week commitment. I'll give a variety of options for “homework” between sessions: stuff you can just reflect on if that's all you have time for, easy actionable steps to try out, and deep dives if you really want to get results. Regardless of which option you choose, you'll have time each week to reflect, discuss how to apply what you're learning, and report back the next week. It's accountability in the best sense—you're not just consuming information; you're actively putting it into practice. Remember, you don't have to attend every live session. You'll get recordings of every session plus a downloadable workbook. Templates, systems, and strategies are all included—it's ready to implement immediately. Plus, you'll receive a nationally recognized PD certificate for CEUs. This cohort is designed to be practical and doable: real solutions that will stick with you for your whole K-12 teaching career, no matter what or where you teach in the future. This is only offered once per year, so if you've been waiting for a chance to finally get your teaching life organized, to feel on top of your time, and to plan ahead without burnout—this is it. Spaces are limited. Sign up below for my cohort or others happening this fall: https://rocketpd.com/cohorts/unlocking-teacher-productivity-with-angela-watson/
Dr. Beth Lorance joins Dr. Sandie Morgan as they discover how a high school coach gave one of his players expensive gifts, things her mother had refused to buy, with the mom posting online asking what to do, not realizing she was witnessing grooming behavior that creates the same vulnerabilities traffickers exploit in trusted spaces throughout our communities. Dr. Beth Lorance Dr. Beth Lorance is an adjunct professor at Vanguard University, where she teaches Family Violence and has also taught Introduction to Psychology and Psychology of the Family. She earned her PsyD in Clinical Psychology and previously served as the director of Vanguard's counseling center. In addition to her academic background, Beth is a licensed minister with the Assemblies of God, which allows her to bring both psychological expertise and theological insight into conversations about abuse, trauma, and healing. Her passion is deeply personal, rooted in her own family history of child sexual abuse, and she is committed to equipping others to use their voices to prevent abuse, protect the vulnerable, and walk alongside survivors. Beth also works to bring awareness into the church, encouraging faith communities to reflect Jesus' response to victims and to take seriously the call to protect those who are most vulnerable. Key Points Family violence creates deep vulnerabilities by teaching children harmful lessons that love is transactional, they're not enough, and there's something wrong with them that they can't overcome - wounds that become embedded in their brain chemistry when trauma happens at a young age. Traffickers don't create vulnerabilities but rather exploit existing wounds from family abuse, stepping into unmet needs and exploiting lessons already learned about intimacy being tied to exploitation. Statistics reveal that 90% of abusers are known to their victims with only 10% being strangers, and 31% of traffickers are actually family members of the victim, making "stranger danger" education insufficient. Grooming is a process of control and manipulation that builds trust, chips away boundaries, and creates dependency so victims willingly comply when lines are crossed into inappropriate behavior because they've been normalized to the perpetrator's actions. Training is essential for leaders, staff, pastors, volunteers, and teachers to recognize grooming signs like expensive gift-giving, requests for secrecy, and isolating language such as "your parents don't understand you, but I do." Clear boundaries and policies are crucial, including no one-on-one supervision between adults and children, with swift consequences when policies aren't followed to prevent grooming opportunities. Children need to be empowered to say no even to trusted adults, with parents and leaders respecting their boundaries and teaching them about "tricky people" rather than just strangers. Trauma-informed communities must stop asking "what's wrong with you?" and instead listen without judgment, sitting with broken people without requiring them to change or behave in prescribed ways to receive care. Parents should be vigilant about adults in their children's lives, knowing what interactions look like and requiring that any adult who wants to be friends with their child must be friends with the parent first. Breaking the cycle requires communities that believe victims, provide someone to stand up for those who can't yet stand up for themselves, and create new family structures when biological families fail to protect.

Inspired by a viral video of a Chinese boy doing his English homework, I thought I'd make an episode where I list 10 common mistakes that language learners make and what you should avoid.To be clear, I'm sure that boy will master English one day, and my comments were more of a criticism of language education in schools. The video simply reminded me of some of the mistakes I've made along the way.With that in mind, while I share my 10 habits to avoid, I also give examples when I've done these things in my own life. So let's learn together and see if we can learn more efficiently.Show notes page - https://levelupenglish.school/podcast339--------------Learn more about Level 3 Members: https://courses.levelupenglish.school/courses/level3--------------Have a question?
