Today, Natalie has the privilege of hosting Mia Wisinski. They discuss how to process emotions and connect with your children in a way that helps you both regulate your emotions while having fun and creating joyful experiences together. Mia is the heart behind Playful Heart Parenting — a mom and stepmom whose background in theatre and songwriting as a performer and educator deeply shapes her approach to parenting. Her style is rooted in connection, creativity, and a whole lot of laughter.Though Mia carried her playful spirit into adulthood, it took a hit when she unexpectedly became a stepmom and felt immense pressure to “get it right.” That moment kicked off an eight-year journey of reclaiming playfulness — a journey that's since helped hundreds of thousands of parents do the same.Today, she helps parents reconnect with their kids (and themselves) through simple, silly moments of play. Above all, Mia believes we all deserve joy and that playfulness is one of the most overlooked — and most powerful — tools in the positive parenting toolbox.Mia's methods for working through challenging situations with your kids are both enjoyable and refreshing!

On a sunny summer day in 2007 near Wichita, Kansas, a tanker truck was offloading naphthalene into a stainless-steel tank at a solvent tank farm when the container spontaneously ignited, catching fire and exploding, shooting projectiles in the air. This led to the evacuation of thousands in a nearby community. While there were no casualties, the explosion destroyed the entire storage facility, luckily not causing any injuries or fatalities in the nearby community.  An investigation determined that electrostatic charge buildup had caused a spark that ignited a solvent-air mixer in the vapor space in the vessel receiving naphtha from the tanker truck. In this episode, Traci Purdum, CP's editor-in-chief, reads an article from authors Tom Patnaik and Christian Stentzel -- both of Thaletec. The article was published May 21, 2025.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Joseph Heller (1923-1999) Joseph Heller, author of Catch-22 and its sequel, Closing Time, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff, recorded in San Francisco on October 17, 1994. Since its original publication in 1961, Catch-22 by Joseph Heller has become a classic of anti-war literature, gaining fame during the Vietnam era for its dark and satirical look at American military life. Filmed to middling results by Mike Nichols in 1970, a new miniseries on Hulu has brought the novel back into the spotlight, where its focus on circular reasoning and insanity seems a propos to life during the current American regime. Catch-22 was Joseph Heller's first novel. In the 1970s he wrote the novels Something Happened and Good as Gold, and in the 1980s God Knows and Picture This, and the non-fiction No Laughing Matter about his struggle with Guillan-Barre Syndrome In 1994, Joseph Heller came out with a sequel to Catch-22, titled Closing Time, which deals with what happened to Yossarian and other characters after the end of World War II. This interview was recorded during that book tour and deals with both books, as well as other aspects of his career, along with comparisons to the works of Kurt Vonnegut. Despite respectful reviews and a good reputation, Closing Time is mostly forgotten today, though it is easily available on-line in both paper and e-book. Joseph Heller published a memoir, Now and Then, in 1998, and another novel, Portrait of the Artist as an Old Man, an autobiographical work about an author who is unable to shake the success of his very first novel, was published posthumously in 2000. This is the first airing of the entire interview. .   Review of “Parade” at BroadwaySF Orpheum Theatre through June 8, 2025.

This week's discussion features Judah Thomas, Lenny Salgado, Johnny V., Mike McHugh, and James Gowell. Edited by: Tim NicholsonBonus: 1980's Martial Art MoviesJoin us for our new study on the Book of James, wait a minute, we have a theme going here, the brothers of Jesus. James kicks us off again this week by sharing scripture that stood out, "religion that God our Father sees as pure and faultless is this, to look after orphans and widows who are in distress and to not be corrupt by the world". He shares of the Holy Spirit working in and through us and having eyes to see and ears to hear those that are hiding or struggling in the shadows.Judah then brings up the line just before this verse about taming the tongue and how this overlaps with modern day, taming our thumbs.Lenny shares an experience prior to the start of Thrive Church where he was struggling looking at himself in the mirror. He had to learn to love himself, before he could love others.Mike jumps in and shares about not just reading or listening to the Word, but being a "Do'er" of the Word. He shares the importance of being quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger.Judah then shares how certain people, famous people, famous pastors, have a following of people are quick to slam them when they mess up and forgetting that we are all broken, sinful humans. Instead, approaching things with gentleness and kindness. Again, controlling our tongues and or thumbs.We wrap up pretty quickly, however for those loyal listeners, there is a solid 10+ minutes of our pre-podcast recording where we are chatting about old 1980's martial arts movies.Enjoy and we appreciate you listening.We encourage you to read James with us and comment on what has been sticking out to you?Have a blessed day.For more information visit: www.thrive.churchIf you would like to give financially you can do so here: www.thrive.church/give/If you need prayer email us at prayer@thrive.churchThis is a presentation of Thrive.Church©All Rights Reserved

We live in an age of endless conversation. Tweets, posts, podcasts, news, and nonstop commentary flood our senses every day. But amid all the noise, how often do we pause to consider the power of the words we ourselves speak?In this compelling message titled Taming the Tongue, guest speaker Dr. Clem Ferris walks us through James chapter 3 to help us understand the immense spiritual weight carried by our speech. Clem unpacks vivid imagery—bits in horses' mouths, rudders steering massive ships, and the spark of a fire spreading uncontrollably—to show how the smallest part of our body can determine the course of our lives.James doesn't hold back. He says the tongue is “a restless evil, full of deadly poison,” and “set on fire by hell.” That's intense. But Clem helps us see the real issue: the tongue itself has no ears—our heart does. And it's what fills the heart that shapes the words that flow from our mouths.The breakthrough comes not through external behavior tweaks, but through internal transformation. Jesus said, “Out of the abundance of the heart, the mouth speaks.” When our hearts are shaped by God's Word, our words begin to reflect His character—words of life, truth, peace, and healing.Clem ties this truth to Pentecost Sunday, reminding us that God's first act in empowering the early church was to cleanse and commission their speech. The “tongues of fire” didn't burn with destruction—they blazed with holy purpose. God wants to do the same with us today. The very mouths once used for gossip, sarcasm, or complaint can now be tools for encouragement and bold proclamation.We also look to Jesus, who “opened not His mouth” even under accusation, choosing silent obedience to bear our sin. His restraint paved the way for our restoration. Now we're invited to speak with a new voice—shaped not by the world, but by heaven.You may not be able to stop the noise of culture, but you can decide what words will come from your lips. Let God's Word dwell in your heart richly and speak life into your world.We are Trinity Community Church in Knoxville, Tennessee.Subscribe to our Podcast & YouTube channel to find past sermons, classes, interviews, and more!Find us on Facebook & Instagram

Are your kids drowning in stress from AP classes, endless homework, and sky-high expectations - and is their anxiety actually a mirror of your own perfectionist tendencies? Rebecca and Seth tackle the mounting pressure kids face in school, sparked by their own children's experiences with multiple AP classes and unrealistic expectations. This episode offers practical strategies for parents to help their children manage academic stress while examining how our own behaviors model stress management. From breathing techniques and realistic scheduling to celebrating small wins, they provide a roadmap for creating healthier relationships with achievement and learning. The conversation reveals how school stress often reflects deeper family patterns around perfectionism and provides tools that work for both students and stressed-out adults. 5 Key Takeaways ➤ Transform Self-Talk: Replace "This sucks, I can't do this" with "I can do hard things, I'm resourceful, I can ask for help" - the internal dialogue shapes the entire experience ➤ Build in Breaks and Fun: Mandatory study breaks with a "de-stress toolbox" (bedazzling, Legos, exercise, music) actually improve study effectiveness and prevent burnout ➤ Set Realistic Expectations: Six hours of homework after a full school day isn't healthy - space out studying and focus on effort over perfect grades ➤ Examine Your Own Mirror: Kids watch more than they listen - if your children have unrealistic expectations, check what standards you're modeling for yourself ➤ Prioritize Sleep and Celebration: Early bedtimes cure stress and anxiety, while celebrating small wins (finishing homework, completing a test) creates positive associations with challenging tasks Quotes Rebecca Greene: "If you're having an issue with your child, go look in the mirror. How are you? I'm not blaming you, I'm just trying to help you. We can't control everything our children do. We can try. We can control everything that we do." Seth Greene: "I started to get overwhelmed, and I stopped myself and said, just do one at a time, just see how it goes and made it through... I didn't have to know the whole thing, I'm just gonna practice one song."

Mike Long, the brilliant physicist-turned-writer and co-author of "The Molecule of More," joins us for a riveting conversation on the Addicted Mind Podcast. Together, we dissect the fascinating world of dopamine and its powerful influence over our behavior and experiences. We take a closer look at how this neurotransmitter's relentless push for future rewards often clouds our present joys, impacting everyday actions from gambling to excessive use of social media. Mike's unique perspective bridges natural patterns with human habits, offering profound insights into the mind's complex workings. In our discussion, we unravel the dual nature of dopamine, painting a vivid picture of its role as both motivator and alert system. Through engaging analogies, like the excitement of Christmas morning, we explore how dopamine shapes our desires and decision-making, propelling us toward imagined futures. Yet, the episode doesn't shy away from recognizing the challenges posed by dopamine's influence, especially in the context of modern technology and its overstimulation. By diving into the science behind neurotransmitters, we underscore the importance of balance in navigating this chemical-driven landscape. In this episode, you will hear: Mike Long's exploration of dopamine's dual nature as both a motivator and an alert system The impact of dopamine on future-focused behaviors and the overshadowing of present joys Practical strategies to balance dopamine's influence and promote mindful living Discussion on GLP-1 drugs' potential in curbing cravings and treating addiction The role of technology in amplifying dopamine-driven habits and solutions for managing screen time Techniques for fostering personal growth and relationships through intentional living Follow and Review: We'd love for you to follow us if you haven't yet.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:In this episode, I offer what might feel like slightly brutal truths if you're parenting a young person who struggles with substances and mental health challenges. I emphasize the importance of self-preservation for parents, noting that while you cannot force lasting change in your child or children, you can create the best conditions to foster it. I discuss the "self-preservation continuum" - the balance between being fully (overly) involved in your child's recovery and maintaining personal health and sanity. I also provide practical tools you can focus on when you have no idea what to do, and highlight the destructive impact of fear when it dominates. EPISODE RESOURCES:Hopestream episode 8: Don't Let Your Child's Addiction Kill Your Dreams and PassionsHopestream episode 58: Four Counterintuitive Things To Do When You're Overwhelmed By Your Child's Substance Use or Emotional ChallengesInsight Timer meditation: Your Special RoomThis podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereFind us on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

Send us a textWhat if the voices in your head, your doubts, your drive, your deepest wounds, weren't just background noise, but characters in a play that you could rewrite?In this episode of The Self Help Antidote, we dive into the transformative world of Anonymous Drama, a creative approach to emotional wellbeing that blends improv, wellbeing, psychology, and storytelling. Playwright, director and drama therapy advocate Mark Macnicol shares how creating scripts and characters, even if you have zero interest in “drama”, can help untangle emotional knots that feel too overwhelming to confront directly.We explore how this approach, born in places like maximum-security prisons and inspired by the therapeutic roots of improv, can help you step outside your own story just enough to see it clearly. Learn how the three core characters, the Protagonist, the Inner Critic, and the Inner Mentor mirror the ongoing dialogue in your own mind, and how naming these voices creates the space for intention, self-compassion, and conscious choice.This isn't about becoming someone else. It's about finally hearing yourself.Because once you recognize who's talking in your head, you get to decide who's actually in charge.Visit us at:www.theselfhelpantidote.com

“I felt no distress whatever…I was perspiring freely and was as limber and helpless as a wet rag. It was an exhilarating experience.... It was then and there that I first conceived the idea of the reclamation of the desert.” This is the story of the Hoover Dam.  A wild, precarious, and dangerous river, the Colorado tears across the American southwest's otherwise arid and largely uninhabitable desert. Yet, if tamed, the Colorado could reclaim countless acres; it could provide sustenance and hydroelectricity for untold millions! But that's the catch: “if.” From a dehydrated mirage in 1849, to the outgrowth of an overwhelmed canal in the early twentieth-century Imperial Valley, this is the unlikely tale of the dreamers; government officials; a consortium of six construction companies, blandly called “Six Companies; Frank “Hurry Up Crow; and the 21,000 workers—over 100 of whom will wind up dead—who defied the odds and pushed engineering to new heights to “make the desert bloom.” ____ Connect with us on HTDSpodcast.com and go deep into episode bibliographies and book recommendations join discussions in our Facebook community get news and discounts from The HTDS Gazette  come see a live show get HTDS merch or become an HTDS premium member for bonus episodes and other perks.
