    Hosted by Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot with special guest Ashe in America, this special edition of The Audio Files dives deep into the culture, history, and philosophy behind jam bands. Ashe traces the musical lineage from The Grateful Dead's touring-first rebellion to The Allman Brothers' Southern rock harmonies, Derek and the Dominos' blues influence, Widespread Panic's Red Rocks legacy, and the sovereign spirit of Jack Johnson. Along the way, the trio explores bootleg culture, improvisation, musical community, and how bands built movements without relying on radio gatekeepers. The conversation crescendos with Dave Matthews Band, featuring a live COVID-era performance that became a lifeline during lockdowns, and a surprise guitar remix from Brad that bridges skepticism with appreciation. The episode closes with Rusted Root and a heartfelt tribute to a dear friend, reminding listeners why live music and shared experience matter so much. Themes of musical freedom, community resilience, artistic sovereignty, and the emotional power of live performance run throughout this episode.

    377 | The Therapist Trust Triad & Parent Partnership Pathway: Frameworks for Parent Engagement and Client Retention

    Play Therapy Podcast

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 27, 2026 16:36


    In this episode, I recap the second day of Field of Dreams and focus specifically on what I believe is one of the most crucial — and often overlooked — aspects of our work: engaging parents. We know CCPT works. We know the research supports it. But none of that matters if families drop out before the process has time to unfold. Attrition rates in CCPT are high, and most parents leave before the seventh session. That reality forces us to look inward. If parents are anxious, pushy, resistant, or distant, that is not simply a "difficult parent" problem — it's often a breakdown in how we are building trust. I walk through two core frameworks: the Therapist Trust Triad and the Parent Partnership Pathway. The Trust Triad challenges us to evaluate ourselves in three domains — internal regulation, external clarity, and relational positioning — and to identify where our own breakdown may be occurring. The Parent Partnership Pathway reminds us that understanding and buy-in develop slowly over time. Parents in crisis cannot absorb everything about CCPT all at once. Engagement must be intentional, paced, and strategic. It's not about talking more or explaining more — it's about building trust in a way that allows families to stay long enough for the model to work. The Field of Dreams training is now available on demand. You can get more information at playtherapynow.com. If you've ever wondered where you truly are developmentally in the model — and what it would take to move toward genuine mastery — this framework gives you the path. When we build depth before height, the entire field changes. PlayTherapyNow.com is my HUB for everything I do! playtherapynow.com.

    A different kind of episode today! We're back with two voices, and this time, instead of Pilar sharing notes from a book, she speaks to her co-author Bree Caggiati, about their latest book, "Connection and Disconnection in Remote Teams". They cover some of the book's topics, how the research has moved on, and for Part 2, they've got some connection-related personal updates. In today's episode: Part 1 Check out Connection and Disconnection in Remote Teams, the book! 1. Book and Project Origins Bree and Pilar explain how their 2019 podcast project on connection and disconnection evolved into their recently published book. 2. Evolution from Remote to Hybrid Work How remote work went from a "niche" concept in 2019 to the mainstream adoption of hybrid models post-pandemic, and the common mistake of forcing traditional office-based practices into remote environments and the benefits of establishing intentional remote-first frameworks. 3. Diversity and Inclusion in Connection: Individuals experience belonging differently and how designing for specific needs can benefit an entire team. 4. Structure and Themes of the Book An overview of the core topics addressed in the book. 5. New Research on Monthly Meetups A new study by Nick Bloom suggesting that bringing fully remote teams together just once a month can significantly boost productivity and reduce quit rates. 6. The "3A Framework" of Connection & Shared Responsibility A breakdown of three ways people connect at work., and the "overarching thesis" that connection is a shared duty between the organisation, the manager, and the individual, requiring deliberate design rather than just hoping it happens. 7. The Connection Quiz A ten-question, quiz to test Bree's memory of key concepts from the book, such as the health risks of chronic loneliness and the "remote-first" approach. 8. Generative AI and Rapport How AI chatbots might replace small human interactions, potentially impacting the bonding and trust-building typically found in quick feedback loops.   Part 2: Personal Updates Talking "Away from the Work", but still connected to today's topic of connection!

    In this lightning round episode, I tackle four listener questions that each highlight common pressure points in CCPT practice. First, I address a question about children who consistently want the lights turned off in session — particularly in the context of suspected trauma. I walk through the most common meanings behind darkness in play (power and control, fear, trauma associations, or simple symbolic necessity), and I explain how to honor the child's need while maintaining safety through clear "if you choose" limits. Next, I respond to questions about dollhouse setup, competition between school-based clients, and aggressive toys. I clarify why the playroom must always reset to a blank slate, why we never concede to demands to pre-stage materials, and how to handle competitiveness when children compare sessions. I also provide practical guidance on toy guns and shooters — what is appropriate, what should be avoided, and why clearly "toy-like" features matter in a CCPT playroom. Finally, I address two complex advocacy situations: when a pediatrician advises against CCPT during a high-conflict divorce, and when a severely traumatized child appears unable to engage in play therapy at all. In both cases, I emphasize calm, confident advocacy, collaboration over confrontation, and unwavering trust in the model. CCPT is not harmful when a child resists, dysregulates, or refuses to play — those behaviors often signal profound need. Our role is not to force progress, but to remain steady, patient, and faithful to the process. PlayTherapyNow.com is my HUB for everything I do! playtherapynow.com.

In this episode of Seek Go Create, Tim Winders unpacks the powerful message of 1 Peter, exploring how scattered early Christians found resilience, hope, and a renewed sense of who they were in the midst of relentless persecution. Dive into the turbulent world of the first century, where believers faced unimaginable challenges—and discover the life-changing encouragement Peter gave to remain steadfast and anchored in a living hope. If you've ever wondered how faith endures during trials or how ancient truths speak to today's struggles, this episode is for you."The resurrection creates that living hope—not wishful thinking, but inheritance guaranteed.

    This piece is built around a field recording from the sound collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum of Berber beggars singing for charity.Listening to this recording, across time, what struck me was not difference but familiarity. Themes of begging, homelessness and poverty recur in traditional songs from all cultures, spanning the centuries. Despite differences in place, language and technology, poverty, hunger, social injustice, and the vulnerability that comes with these things, remains constant.Through my organisation in Whitby, Flash Company Arts, I frequently work with people experiencing homelessness and fragile economic circumstances. Hearing this recording, made more than 60 years ago, felt uncomfortably relevant to my daily work. These voices could belong to anyone, anywhere, right now.The lyric “A Begging I Will Go” is borrowed from an ancient English folk song, first printed on a black-letter broadside in 1684. And still today, all over the world, people wake each morning to the same words: A begging I will go.Nothing changes.Beggars singing for charity reimagined by Rebecca Denniff (Subphotic).———Part of the project A Century of Sounds, reimagining 100 sounds covering 100 years from the collections of the Pitt Rivers Museum at the University of Oxford.

Themes of societal transformation, the unraveling of outdated belief systems, and the growing importance of personal sovereignty weave throughout the discussion.We close with an invitation for listeners to cultivate discernment in an era of information overload—encouraging curiosity, self-education, and direct observation as tools for forming grounded, independent perspectives.

    In this episode, I walk you through the Summit Framework — the developmental roadmap for mastery in child-centered play therapy that I presented at the Field of Dreams training. I believe one of the greatest challenges in our field is that we've never clearly defined how a therapist progresses toward true mastery. We learn the skills. We memorize the principles. But we're rarely shown how to stabilize under pressure and refine our foundation before moving higher. And when we skip that step, we crumble. Mastery in CCPT is not about advancing quickly into insight-level work. It's about disciplined refinement of the fundamentals. If reflective responding breaks down when content is uncomfortable, if limit-setting collapses under chaos, if steadiness disappears when pressure rises — that's where the work is. Just like elite athletes still hit off a tee and master musicians still practice scales, we must return to basics in order to strengthen the tiers beneath us. In this episode, I outline the four levels of the Summit Framework and explain how video-based self-review becomes the pathway to real growth. The Field of Dreams training is now available on demand.  You can get more information at playtherapynow.com. If you've ever wondered where you truly are developmentally in the model — and what it would take to move toward genuine mastery — this framework gives you the path.

    In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale, President of DelCor, sits down with David Stephenson, SVP of Technology at Entrepreneurs' Organization, to unpack what true collaboration really means in associations and nonprofits. Together, they explore the difference between transactional vendor relationships and deep strategic partnerships, how to build psychological safety within project teams, and why honest dialogue is essential for successful outcomes. David also shares practical tactics for selecting partners, navigating conflict, and reducing organizational risk through collaborative practices.Themes and Topics:What Collaboration Really Is (and Isn't)Collaboration isn't about being nice or making sure “everyone's at the table.” It's about having the right mix of people with different perspectives.When everyone thinks the same and has the same motivations, you end up with polite agreement, not real progress.There's a big difference between just enlarging a meeting and actually collaborating with intention.Getting the Right Mix: Staff, Members, Vendors, and PartnersAssociations juggle vendors, partners, staff, and members, each with different levels of involvement and motivation.David distinguishes between people who are in the weeds with you (like design and development partners) and those who play a key but more behind‑the‑scenes role (like hosting providers).Upfront, he works to get everyone on the same page: What problem are we solving? What role do you play? What's your motive (and recognizing that everyone has one, and that's okay)?Vendors vs. Partners: Building the Right Kind of RelationshipIn his head, David does see a spectrum: some are more transactional services (SaaS products, integration tools), while others are strategic partners who need to understand mission, business objectives, and strategy.He tries not to use the word vendor in conversation and instead works to make everyone feel like a partner, even if their role is more narrow.When negotiating, he looks for a fair outcome on both sides — if a partner walks away with “really thin margins,” you end up with constant “change order” moments and a strained dynamic from day one.Honest Dialogue, Healthy Friction, and Psychological SafetyDavid values partners who can say things like “That's just not possible,” or “That doesn't align with the strategy you described,” instead of always saying yes.He expects and welcomes friction and hard conversations around timelines, costs, and expectations. If there's zero friction, something's probably off.Psychological safety is key: people need to feel they can disagree, say “I don't think this is working,” or ask tough questions without fearing for their job, contract, or relationship.Doing the Work: Projects, Postmortems, and “Disagree but Commit”David admits he hasn't “cracked the code” on postmortems, but he knows they only work if people feel safe enough to speak up during the project, not just after.When collaboration is done well, it may feel slow at the beginning, but it ultimately makes the work go faster and smoother than siloed, go-it-alone approaches.He likes setting expectations from the start: speak up when it's “cheap to disagree,” and embrace the idea of “disagree, but commit” so the team can move forward with one voice.Collaboration as Risk Reduction for the FutureDavid sees collaboration as a way to de‑risk his future; the stronger his network and partnerships, the better prepared he is for what's coming.Staying insular and only looking inside your own team or organization raises your risk, especially in fast-changing areas like technology and AI.By collaborating widely and intentionally, associati

Nicknamed the “King of Latin Trap,” he broke out in 2016 with “Diles” and played a pivotal role in mainstreaming Spanish-language urban music globally.Bad Bunny dominated Spotify as the most-streamed artist in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2025, earning six Grammy wins. His 2025 album Debí Tirar Más Fotos made history as the first Spanish-language album to win Album of the Year at the 2026 Grammys.The spotlight is on his landmark Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show on February 8, 2026, at Levi's Stadium—a 13-minute set that became the first chiefly Spanish-language headlining performance.

    Atlanta Soccer Tonight delivers a special two-hour season preview edition as Atlanta United opens its 10th season this weekend in Cincinnati. Jason Longshore is joined by Abe Gordon, Madison Crews, Jon Nelson, and Jarrett Smith to lay out what Atlanta must become in 2026: the non-negotiables, Tata Martino's tactical fingerprints, and what early success should actually look like. The crew also goes around Major League Soccer to assess how contenders have spent the offseason, why the Eastern Conference remains unforgiving, and where Atlanta fits in the league's evolving hierarchy. Mike Conti joins the show to reflect on Atlanta's decade-long rise, the World Cup coming to Mercedes-Benz Stadium, and what the next era means for the city and for MLS. Plus, the team breaks down the most revealing comments from Steven Alzate and Juan Berrocal — from sprint-heavy intensity to the “protagonist” mentality of playing fearless, vertical soccer — and how it shapes expectations for Saturday. The night closes with Atlanta United at 10 memories, wildest matches, favorite kits, and the signature 3-4-3: critical players, defining themes, and reasons to smile heading into Year 10.

    Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Dcn. Harrison Garlick and Dr. Donald Prudlo, the Warren Chair of Catholic Studies at the University of Tulsa, discuss the Ante-Purgatory, the foot of Mount Purgatory (Cantos 1-5).Check out our guide on Dante's Purgatorio (out soon!)Visit Dr. Jason Baxter's website and use "Ascend" in the promo code for 20% off his Purgatorio audiobook.Thanks for the Center for Beauty and Culture at Benedictine College for their support!The conversation with Dr. Prudlo and Deacon Garlick on Cantos 1–5 of Purgatorio opens with the dramatic shift from the despair of Inferno to the hope and refreshment of Purgatory.In Canto 1, Dante and Virgil emerge from Hell onto the shores of Mount Purgatory at Easter dawn, where Dante humbly invokes Calliope, the Muse of epic poetry, signaling his project as “the Christian epic” (Dr. Donald Prudlo). They meet Cato the Younger, a pagan suicide saved by special grace, who embodies the four cardinal virtues and serves as Purgatory's guardian. Prudlo emphasizes the shock: “Cato the pagan, the suicide is going to heaven. And we have got to confront that or we're going to miss so much of what Dante has to tell us here” (Dr. Donald Prudlo). The ritual of washing with dew and girding with the humble reed contrasts the broken plants of the suicides in Hell and symbolizes the beginning of true humility and ascent.Cantos 2–5 introduce the late-repentant souls and the mountain's structure. In Canto 2, an angelic boat ferries souls singing “In exitu Israel de Aegypto,” a psalm of liberation that Prudlo calls “a multifaceted song” evoking Exodus, baptism, and community (Dr. Donald Prudlo). Casella's song of Dante's own poetry enchants the group until Cato rebukes their idleness.Cantos 3–5 explore excommunicated sinners like Manfred (“even under a curse like mine, no one's ever so lost that eternal love cannot come back, as long as hope has any sprouts of green” – Manfred via transcript) and the slothful Belacqua, who banters with Dante like old friends. Prudlo highlights the power of last-minute mercy and intercession: “Mary is the last refuge of sinners” (Dr. Donald Prudlo). The cantos teach that Purgatory is a place of communal hope, where grace reaches even the unlikely, and purification begins with humility, prayer, and rightly ordered love—setting the stage for the active ascent through the terraces.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Dante's Purgatorio04:42 The Importance of Reading Purgatorio08:02 Themes of Emancipation and Freedom10:57 The Role of Cato in Purgatorio13:49 Cato's Significance and Political Implications17:00 Cato as a Precursor to Christ19:51 Dante's Literary Techniques and Inspirations22:56 Contrasting Ulysses and Dante25:36 Cato's Death and Its Symbolism28:52 The Nature of Purgatory and Salvation31:51 Cato's Virtues and Their Relevance34:49 The Relationship Between Cato and Christ37:48 Conclusion and Reflections on Purgatorio50:03 Understanding Cato's Role in Purgatorio52:43 The Heartbreaking Choice of Cato54:39 Rituals and Purification in Purgatory01:00:18 The Arrival at Purgatory01:06:34 The Significance of Water in Salvation01:12:09 Virgil's Role and the Nature of Guidance01:24:57 Manfred: A Case of Late Repentance01:29:38 The Role of Intercessory Prayer in Purgatory01:34:00 Understanding Mount Purgatory and Its Significance01:40:15 The Character of Belacqua and Themes...
