Otherwise, AI will simply magnify existing chaos and inefficiency.Developing AI fluency through consistent, hands-on interaction builds confidence, especially for non-technical users, and lays the groundwork for meaningful integration into daily work.AI-driven role-playing and adaptive conversation tools are already replacing traditional, static training methods in soft skill development, especially in coaching and feedback scenarios.Creating shared AI “projects” loaded with company knowledge enables collaborative problem-solving, faster onboarding, and continuous organizational learning. "AI is going to be a truth serum for organizations, because... you're going to find out how broken your processes are.” — Greg Shove Connect with Greg Shove:  Website: https://www.sectionschool.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/sectionschool &https://www.linkedin.com/in/gregshove/  See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Show notes by Podcastologist: Hanz Jimuel AlvarezAudio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

What if the faith you were raised in wasn't chosen but programmed? Whether you're questioning everything or doubling down on your beliefs, this landmark 200th episode is for you. Monte Mader's journey from Christian nationalist-in-training to spiritual deconstructionist isn't an attack it's an invitation. An invitation to examine what you inherited, what you believe, and why. No matter where you land, this conversation might challenge something you've never dared to question and that's exactly why you need to hear it.Spirituality can be a powerful source of comfort, connection, and personal growth but when faith is distorted by fear, control, or coercion, it can leave deep emotional wounds. Religious trauma doesn't come from belief itself, but from environments where questioning is punished, conformity is demanded, and individuals especially children are not given the right to consent. This kind of trauma often shows up as chronic guilt, anxiety around “disobedience,” fear-based obedience, or a loss of personal identity. Whether you've grown up in a high-control religious group or entered one later in life, warning signs may include black-and-white thinking, spiritual manipulation, isolation from non-believers, and teachings that prioritize hierarchy over compassion. It's important to remember: religion is not inherently harmful but unchecked power within it can be. If you're questioning your experience, you're not alone. Resources like Reclamation Collective, The Religious Trauma Institute, and Dr. Marlene Winell's Recovery from Religion offer education, support, and healing communities for those navigating spiritual abuse or religious deconstruction. Healing is possible, and your story is valid.What This Episode Covers:Monte's personal turning point: the moment her belief system crackedThe mental health toll of religious trauma and spiritual fear in childhoodHow Christian nationalism shaped her worldview—and why she walked awayThe psychological impact of purity culture on women's identity and self-worthWhy “submission,” obedience, and modesty were never about holinessThe danger of unquestioned authority in faith-based systemsHow spiritual teachings can be twisted to uphold patriarchy and white supremacyThe difference between faith and fear—and how to tell which one's guiding youWhat the Bible actually says (and doesn't) about women, sexuality, and powerWhy reclaiming curiosity is the key to healing religious traumaA call for compassion, critical thinking, and honest self-examination—no matter what you believe LIKE, SUBSCRIBE & SHARE your thoughts in the comments!__________________↳ YouTube↳ Apple Podcast↳ Spotify↳ Instagram↳ Tiktok↳ Facebook__________________Patrick Custer – Host↳ Instagram: @thepatrickcuster↳ TikTok: @thepatrickcuster↳ YouTube: @thepatrickcuster↳ Facebook: @thepatrickcuster↳ Website: linktr.ee/patrickcusterMonte Mader – Guest↳ Insta: @montemader⁠↳ Facebook: @themontemader⁠↳ Youtube: @montemader↳ Tiktok: @montemader⁠↳ X: @montemader⁠__________________Promises Behavioral Health – Treatment for addiction, mental health/trauma:↳ Admissions: (888) 648-4098↳ Insta: ⁠@promises_bh↳ URL: ⁠www.promisesbehavioralhealth.com⁠Mental Health America:↳ URL: www.mhanational.org⁠

What if your therapist just gets it and you don't have to explain everything from scratch?That's what this episode is all about. I sat down with Tham Fuyana, Social Worker family Therapist and Educator, to talk about what it's like navigating therapy as a BIPOC client. BIPOC stands for Black, Indigenous, and people/ person of colour In this episode, Tham shares his reflections growing up as a Black migrant, navigating services that didn't always see him, and why representation in therapy matters.Key takeawaysWhat people mean when they talk about “finding a BIPOC therapist”Why it's not just about matching identities but understanding lived experienceHow intersectionality shows up in the therapy roomThe emotional cost of constantly having to explain your backgroundWhat makes some clients feel safer and more understoodThe layers of distrust that come from experiences with police, migration and health systemsHow a sense of collective identity can offer comfort and where it can be complexThe importance of cultural humility and curiosity in therapeutic workIf this conversation sparked something for you, whether you're a client looking for support or a professional thinking about your own practice, keep the momentum going. Share it with someone who needs to hear it, have the hard chats and take a look at who's in the room with you. Because who we sit with matters.ResourcesThe Therapy Hubwww.thetherapyhub.com.auConnected Teens https://marievakakis.com.au/connected-teens/Connect with Marie https://thetherapyhub.com.au/ https://marievakakis.com.au/ https://www.instagram.com/marievakakis/Submit a question to the Podcasthttps://forms.gle/nvNQyw9gJXMNnveY6

In this episode of the Experience Miracles podcast, Dr. Tony Ebel discusses neurological detoxification—what happens when children begin Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care. He explains why detoxes, which can appear as regressions or negative symptoms, are actually positive signs of healing and progress. Dr. Ebel breaks down the mechanisms behind these detoxes, how they affect different body systems, and provides practical guidance for parents to support their children through this process. He emphasizes that these temporary challenges lead to profound improvements in sleep, behavior, digestion, and overall development.[00:01:00] Understanding Neurological DetoxesWhat happens when starting nervous system-focused careWhy some children experience symptoms that appear to be moving in the "wrong direction"How clinical protocols have improved over time for better management of detox reactions[00:08:00] Physical Signs of DetoxificationCommon temporary changes: fatigue, increased mucus, fever, skin breakoutsHow digestion shifts from constipation to more frequent eliminationEmotional and behavioral fluctuations during healing[00:12:00] Autonomic Nervous System FunctionThe role of sympathetic (fight-or-flight) and parasympathetic systemsHow children with chronic illness get stuck in sympathetic dominanceWhy activating the vagus nerve is essential for detoxification[00:17:00] The Perfect Storm Model of Chronic IllnessThe sequence of triggers that lead to autism and chronic illnessEmotional stress during pregnancy and birth trauma as primary factorsHow physical damage to the brainstem creates subluxation[00:26:00] Three Types of Children: The Bull AnalogiesRaging bull: Hyperactive, always moving, won't sit still (ADHD-like)Drunken bull: Struggles with focus, coordination, and processing (ADD-like)Exhausted bull: Shut down, withdrawn nervous systemWhy children need to go through missed developmental stages[00:32:00] The Motor System and Brain DevelopmentThe importance of sequential motor milestonesHow sensory-motor function provides a window into brain functionWhy motor patterns are more connected to brain function than gut function[00:39:00] Supporting Your Child Through DetoxWhy staying consistent with care is crucialPrioritizing sleep and temporarily reducing therapy loadNourishing the body and trusting the process[00:44:00] The Path ForwardWhy leaning in rather than backing off leads to breakthroughsThe "messy middle" leads to the biggest healing breakthroughsAvoiding the addition of too many therapies during detox-- Follow us on Socials: Instagram: @pxdocs Facebook: Dr. Tony Ebel & The PX Docs Network Youtube: The PX Docs For more information, visit PXDocs.com to read informative articles about the power of Neurologically-Focused Chiropractic Care.

In Twelve Step programs, the first step, as I understand it, is recognizing that we are powerless to heal alone.We cannot overcome addiction, trauma, or systemic oppression through sheer willpower or individual effort. Healing, recovery, and meaningful change require connection, support, and systems that foster growth.All true! But we should not make a virtue out of being powerless.Recognizing what is beyond your ability isn't the same as accepting that you are powerless to change. Powerlessness is, in fact, a protective response that disconnects us from our personal power.When we conflate protection with powerlessness, we risk internalizing the very dynamics that keep us trapped in authoritarian systems—whether in families, partnerships, workplaces, faith communities, or governments.Power-over systems create environments where speaking up feels dangerous, where challenging authority risks humiliation or exile. But no matter the system or oppression, we always retain what Right Use of Power methodology calls our personal power. And that's precisely why authoritarian structures work so hard to make us feel otherwise.Owning your personal power in an authoritarian system requires deep, intentional work. And we cannot do it alone.My guest today will introduce you to the types of power in the Right Use of Power framework and help you reconnect with your personal power so that you can stand firm and do hard, scary, necessary things.Dr. Amanda Aguilera currently serves as the Executive Director of the Right Use of Power Institute and a Trusted Advisor at The Ally Co. She has dedicated most of her career to helping people and organizations understand systems, conflict, and social power dynamics to create right relationship and a sense of belonging. She has a knack for making difficult conversations easier, complex ideas more accessible, and resistance more workable. Integrating power, contemplative practices, neurobiology, and restorative practices, she works by finding a balance of head and heart and facilitating the co-creation of strategic maps that lead us forward in a more equitable way.Listen to the full episode to hear:How the Right Use of Power framework gave Amanda language to understand and articulate powerWhy power itself is fundamentally neutralHow Right Use of Power reframes power as a dynamic and not a possessionBreaking down the six types of power from personal to universalWhy direct challenges to status power are so often destabilizing How undeveloped personal power leads people to do harm with their role and status powerWhy we have to become aware of how power exists in our relationshipsHow developing our personal power helps us to participate in the collective power that can actually challenge systemsHow leaders can foster healthy power differential relationshipsLearn more about Dr. Amanda Aguilera:Right Use of Power InstituteInstagram: @rightuseofpowerinstituteLearn more about Rebecca:rebeccaching.comWork With RebeccaThe Unburdened Leader on SubstackSign up for the weekly Unburdened Leader EmailResources:EP 88: Right-Use-of-Power: Navigating Leadership Dynamics with Dr. Cedar BarstowEP 14: Consenting to Grief as a Leadership Practice with Dean Nelson, PhDBreathing Under Water: Spirituality and the Twelve Steps, Richard RohrAll About Love, bell hooksMarie BeechamAlt National Park ServiceFalling Back in Love with Being Human: Letters to Lost Souls, Kai Cheng ThomIndigo Girls - Closer to FinePoseThe Karate Kid Star Wars

If you're a therapist in 2024, odds are you have given a client a neuroscientific explanation for a symptom they're experiencing or an intervention you're using. You've probably done it sometime in the last week. So have I. Neuroscience-based language is the lingua franca of our field nowadays.As a field, we have largely abandoned the languages of behaviorism or psychoanalysis, though there are still therapists who use those frameworks. But if you asked most therapists right now why they think what they do works, you would get an answer about the brain and nervous system.This would be fine, except that at this moment, as our scientific knowledge rapidly grows, so do our claims about what that knowledge means, sometimes outpacing real understanding of the emerging research and its practical implications.So when I encountered an article in The Washington Post titled “The Body Keeps the Score offers uncertain science in the name of self-help. It's not alone” by writer and cultural critic Kristen Martin, I was intrigued by the way she shed light on some of the neuroscience that we increasingly use to justify what we do as therapists. I invited Kristen to join me to unpack some of the all-too-common misrepresentations and over-interpretations and the wide-ranging implications for our field and the people we treat.Kristen Martin is a writer and cultural critic. Her debut narrative nonfiction book, The Sun Won't Come Out Tomorrow, will be published in winter 2025.Listen to the full episode to hear:Why we are so compelled to seek out neurobiological explanations for human experiencesThe significant limitations of the research that routinely gets cited to justify neuroscientific models of mental illness and traumaHow poor communication, low science literacy, and social media exacerbate the spread of “folk neuroscience.”How neuroscientific explanations for mental health struggles are being co-opted and exploited by bad-faith actors and systemsHow biologically-based explanations for mental health issues can increase stigmaHow neurobiological models let us bypass our collective responsibilities to mitigate systemic issues associated with traumaLearn more about Kristen Martin:WebsiteTwitter: @kwistentLearn more about Riva Stoudt:Into the Woods CounselingThe Kiln SchoolInstagram: @atherapistcantsaythatResources:‘The Body Keeps the Score' offers uncertain science in the name of self-help.
