Today we're joined by career coach, recruiter, content creator, public speaker and author Emily Durham for a conversation every parent of a teen or young adult needs to hear. Emily's longtime expertise in hiring and recruitment has made her a trusted voice on modern hiring, Gen Z careers, and the evolving world of work. We get into the reality of today's job market, why getting hired feels harder than ever, and what skills actually matter in a world where AI is changing everything. Emily breaks down why empathy, decision-making, leadership, and communication may be more valuable than technical skill, how teens can stand out in a crowded job market, and why old-school tactics like walking in with a resume might be making a comeback. We also talk about Gen Z's relationship with work, why they're not as lazy as people think, and how parents can guide their kids without turning every conversation into a lecture.For more from Emily, follow her on Instagram at @emily.the.recruiter.

Fred North has spent over 20 years building a full-time voiceover business on direct marketing - primarily retainer work with radio and TV stations. Now he wants to add a pay-to-play platform to the mix. The problem? He has no idea where to start. In this Summer Series episode, Marc Scott breaks down the four pay-to-play platforms worth considering in 2026, gives his honest take on each one, and explains exactly what an established voice actor needs to know before signing up for any of them. Inside this episode: Why Bodalgo is the most talent-friendly platform on the market - and why that comes with a trade-off The truth about Voices.com, including the 92.5% hidden commission Marc uncovered a decade ago - and what's changed since How Voice123's tier and algorithm system works - and why starting at the bottom can make it incredibly hard to work your way up Why booking a job off-platform on Voice123 can actually hurt your ranking on the site What VO Planet offers and why the quantity just isn't there yet Why having 50 to 100 short clips on your profile matters more than uploading a handful of full-length demos What Voice Realm's reputation is - and why Marc is still cautious despite reports of new ownership Whether you're brand new to pay-to-play or an established voice actor thinking about adding it to your business, this episode gives you a clear and honest framework for making the right choice.

☀️ BEST of Summer SeriesThis episode is part of our BEST of Summer Series, where I'm revisiting some of the most impactful, most downloaded, and most shared episodes from the Not Your Average Autism Mom podcast.Originally released as Episode 143, Social Expectations vs Autism Reality continues to be one of the conversations that resonates most with moms raising autistic children.Whether you're listening for the first time or coming back for a refresher, I hope it gives you exactly what you need today.Summer often means more family gatherings, vacations, community events, restaurants, pools, camps, and outings. And with those experiences often comes something many autism families know all too well—society's expectations.We live in a world filled with unwritten social rules. Personal space. Physical touch. Conversation topics. Waiting in line. Reading social cues. For many neurotypical children, these expectations are picked up naturally. For our children, the social world can often feel confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes unfairly judgmental.In this episode, Shannon explores the gap between social expectations and autism reality—and the impact that gap can have on both our children and us as parents.You'll learn:• What social norms and boundaries really are• Why social expectations can be especially challenging for autistic children• How misunderstandings can lead to judgment, exclusion, and frustration• Why many autism parents feel pressure to meet society's expectations• How to shift your perspective and protect your peace• Ways to advocate for greater understanding and acceptance• Why your belief in your child matters more than public opinionShannon also discusses the emotional toll that social expectations can place on families and shares encouragement for parents who often feel caught between helping their child navigate the world and helping the world better understand their child.This episode is a reminder that while our children may experience the world differently, different does not mean less. Together, we can continue creating a more compassionate and inclusive world—one conversation at a time.

It's summertime and here on Youth Culture Matters were devoting our time to shorter episodes where we're talking about purposeful parenting, addressing timely topics to encourage and equip you as parents to help your kids navigate their world in ways that bring honor and glory to God. Take a few minutes to listen in today as I talk about rewiring the rewiring.

In this episode of the Raising Wild Hearts Happier Series, I sit down with Deb Porter, creator of Hearing Out Life Drama, to explore one of the most overlooked ingredients of wellbeing: feeling truly heard.Deb is a professional listener who believes many of us are carrying thoughts, emotions, and stories we've never fully expressed. When we finally have the space to be seen, heard, and understood—without judgment, interruption, or advice—something shifts. Clarity returns. Pressure releases. We reconnect with ourselves.Together, we explore:• Why happiness is often found in small moments, not big milestones• How many of us learned it wasn't safe to express joy• Why being deeply listened to is a form of love• The connection between authenticity and wellbeing• A simple nightly practice to help you notice what makes your heart singThis conversation is a gentle reminder that joy doesn't disappear—it waits for us. And sometimes the path back begins with listening. Resources Mentioned in This Episode Emotional Scale | Abraham HicksHearing Out Life Drama Blog Hearing Out Life Drama Who am I Now Free Guide (no email required)Deb's Prior Raising Wild Hearts Podcast Appearances:

That's the question audiobook and narration voice actor Amy Tallmadge brought to Marc Scott after hearing some interesting conversations at VO Atlanta - and the answer might give you permission to actually enjoy your next vacation.

Everyone wants a simple answer: When should I give my kid a phone? The problem is, there isn't one. It's one of the biggest parenting debates out there—phones, Snapchat, social media, and whether keeping our kids offline is protecting them or leaving them out. From flip phones and family tracking apps to group chats, Snap Maps, and the reality of how kids actually communicate today, we're unpacking the pressure many of us feel and the balancing act of keeping our kids safe while helping them stay connected. We talk about the fear of exclusion, the risks that come with social media, why one-size-fits-all rules rarely work, and why every child's readiness looks different. The question isn't always, "Is my child ready for a phone?" Sometimes it's, "Am I ready to parent one?"If you're navigating the digital world with tweens or teens, this episode is for you!

What do I do first when I find out I'm getting divorced? It is the number one question people ask the moment divorce becomes real, whether they reached the decision themselves or were just told it is coming. In one of her most-requested solo episodes, Susan Guthrie introduces the concept of Divorce Triage, a clear-headed way to assess your situation and decide who to reach out to first based on the urgency and the needs of your specific case. Borrowing from the emergency room, Susan explains that when a crisis hits, whether emotional, legal, or financial, you do not have to solve the whole thing at once. You just have to take the right first step. Drawing on more than three decades as a family law attorney and mediator, she walks through the core members of a divorce support team, the attorney, the mediator, the divorce coach, the therapist, and the certified divorce financial analyst, and uses real scenarios to show who your first call should be. From the affair discovery, to the financial betrayal, to the blindsided stay-at-home parent, to the longtime thinker who is finally ready to act, each situation calls for a different first move. Divorce is not one size fits all, and the first decision you make can shape everything that follows. This episode helps you think clearly and choose carefully, so you move forward with strength and strategy instead of panic.

As we enter the summer concert season (at least here in the midwest) I want you to know: nothing beats a sober concert. They are the best. Seriously, you owe it to yourself to experience a concert without alcohol, especially if an artist you love is performing. The truth is you're never fully present when alcohol is involved. The music flies by while you're thinking about your next drink, or thinking through your moderation rules, or finding yourself standing in the bathroom line as your favorite artist plays your favorite song (trust me, that is the worst!) Sobriety will give you the opportunity to fully experience the concert without anything in the way. There's nothing better. Tell me about your first concert (and your first sober concert, if you've had one) in the comments on my sober concert Substack post. Check out my Substack here! Community makes all the difference.

What I Wish I Had Done Earlier: Invest in My FutureIn this episode of Counselor Chat, we're kicking off a new reflective series about the things I wish I had done earlier in my school counseling career. First up: investing in my future.This episode is not financial advice, but it is a gentle reminder that school counselors spend so much time helping students plan their futures that we sometimes forget to plan for our own. I'm sharing why I wish I had started asking questions about retirement, savings, and long-term planning earlier — and why taking even one small step now can make a difference for future you.In this episode, we talk about:Why future planning matters for school counselorsThe importance of asking questions about retirement and benefitsHow small steps can add up over timeWhy confusion should not keep you from startingCaring for your future self without guilt or shameTakeaway:You are allowed to care deeply about your students and still care about your own future. Future you is worth planning for.Grab the Show Notes: Counselingessentials.org/podcastJoin Perks Counseling Club Membership and get the lessons, small group and individual counseling materials you need.

On The Literary Life today we continue our re-airing of a series from our "Summer of the Short Story" that originally aired way back in Season 1 of the podcast! This week's episode features Angelina Stanford and Cindy Rollins discussing G. K. Chesterton's essay "A Defence of Penny Dreadfuls." Angelina opens with a brief history of the Victorian era and the more prevalent availability of the novel to the masses. She also gives several examples of the "penny dreadful." Cindy and Angelina discuss why they agree with Chesterton that people need these simple, even formulaic stories. They remind us that childhood is a time for good books, not a time to worry about reading all the "Great Books." Another topic that Cindy and Angelina chat about is the importance of developing imagination. They talk about the truth that fiction and story-telling are necessary parts of human culture. Cindy highlights the importance of the heroic adventure stories for boys. Angelina brings out the point that the elite critic is out of touch with the masses who long for stories of good winning over evil. The penny dreadful should not be judged as art, since that was never what it was intended to be.

This week, we're diving headfirst into the thing parents worry about more than anything else: teen mental health. Are our kids more anxious than ever, or are we just using different language now? What's the difference between being nervous, shy, anxious, sentimental, or depressed? And how much of it is connected to phones, social media, and the digital world our kids are growing up in? We talk about the realities of parenting in a world where our kids' entire social lives live on a device—and why conversations matter more than simply taking the phone away.Keywordsteen mental health, social media, anxiety, parenting, phones, digital age, teenagers, mental health awareness, summer seriesKey topicsTeen mental health and social mediaImpact of phones on anxiety and self-esteemParenting strategies for digital ageUnderstanding mental health terminology and misconceptions Hosted on Acast.

First-up in our Summer Encore Series is a look back at Episode 125, in which we tackle the fact that we - piano teachers - are NOT counselors or therapists. We *do* play a unique role in emotional regulation, but it's important to "stay in our lane". Today's episode looks at how to do exactly that. Check out the full episode notes, including links to other Summer Series, at ChristinaWhitlock.com/episode259.

This week on The Literary Life we begin revisiting a series from our "Summer of the Short Story" that originally aired way back in Season 1 of the podcast! Today we return to Episode 11, in which Angelina and Cindy enjoyed a discussion of the short story "Araby" by James Joyce. Delving into "Araby," Angelina talks about the history and development of the short story form. Cindy gives a little of her own background with reading James Joyce and why she loves his short stories. Angelina and Cindy also discuss the essential "Irishness" of this story and all the tales in The Dubliners. Angelina walks us through the story, highlighting the kinds of questions and things we should look for when reading closely. Themes discussed in this story include: blindness and sight, light and darkness, romanticism, religious devotion, the search for truth, money, courtly love, and the knight's quest.
