In this episode, I challenge the widespread use of the phrase "imposter syndrome" in the therapy field and invite you to reconsider what you're saying—and believing—about yourself as a clinician. I explain how this language often gets introduced early in training and can quietly shape how therapists view their competence, especially when they're new. But in child-centered play therapy, if you are showing up, prioritizing relationship, and staying faithful to the model, there is nothing "imposter" about your work. Being inexperienced or still developing your skills does not mean you are pretending—it means you are in process. I also explore how negative self-labeling becomes a self-fulfilling pattern, much like the labels we work so hard to undo in the children we serve. If we consistently tell ourselves that we are inadequate or don't know what we're doing, we move in that direction. Instead, I encourage you to shift your internal dialogue toward growth, effort, and commitment to mastery. You don't have to be perfect to be effective. You just have to be present, engaged, and willing to keep learning. This is a call to stop reinforcing discouraging narratives and start speaking into the kind of therapist you are becoming.

Thefirst theme that stands out in this book, of course, is joy. This theme ofjoy is closely connected to our minds—what our minds are set upon. That'swhy, over the years as I've taught through this book, I've often used a verysimple outline based on the focus of the believer's mind in each chapter. Inchapter one, we see what it means to have the single mind. Thisis the mind that is set on Jesus Christ—always looking unto Jesus, the authorand finisher of our faith. It is also a mind that is focused on the gospel. Aswe go through this chapter, you will notice how many times Paul mentions JesusChrist and the gospel of Jesus Christ. Paul lived to share that gospel, andthat purpose brought great joy to his heart. Thenin chapter two, we see the submissive mind. This introduces us toanother great theme of the book—humility. Chapter two contains one of the mostbeautiful descriptions of the humility of Jesus Christ in all of Scripture.Though He was rich, yet He became poor. Though He sat on the throne with the Father,ruling over creation, He humbled Himself. He became a servant. He became a man.This is the incarnation of Christ. In this chapter we see the example of Jesusin His humility. We also see the example of Timothy in his humility, theexample of Epaphroditus in his humility, and even the example of the ApostlePaul himself. If we want to experience real joy, we must learn to have asubmissive mind. Thenin chapter three, we see the theme of the spiritual mind. HerePaul explains that although he could boast about many things according to theflesh, he has no confidence in the flesh. In fact, he says, “I have noconfidence in the flesh” (v. 3). Instead, he declares in 3:10, “That Imay know Him and the power of His resurrection and the fellowship of Hissufferings.” Paul's great desire was simply to know Christ more intimately. Thisbrings us back to something Jesus said about joy in Gospel of John 15:8. Jesussaid, “By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you willbe My disciples.” I am convinced that great joy comes when we fulfill thepurpose for which God created us. That purpose is to glorify God. And weglorify God by bearing fruit as disciples of Jesus Christ. And according toJohn 15:1-8, the only way we can bear fruit is by abiding in Christ. Do you seehow all these things tie together? When we abide in Christ, wonderful thingsbegin to happen in our lives. Thenin John 16:22–24, Jesus said, “Therefore you now have sorrow; but I will seeyou again and your heart will rejoice, and your joy no one will take from you.”Jesus knew the disciples would soon see Him crucified and experience deepsorrow. But He also knew that joy would follow. He continued, When you are fulfilling the purpose for whichGod created you, your joy will be full. Your joy will be complete. This is thespiritual mind—a mind set on knowing Christ and experiencing the power ofHis resurrection. Thenwe come to chapter four, which reveals the secure mind. Here Paulexplains that he has learned to be content in every circumstance and situationin life (4:11-13). He says that he has learned how to live whether he haslittle or much. Whether he has abundance or nothing at all, he has learned howto trust Christ. That is why he can say, “I can do all things through Christwho strengthens me.” And he also declares, “My God shall supply all yourneed according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus” (v. 19). This is thesecure mind—a mind resting in the provision and faithfulness of God. Sothese are some of the great themes we will discover throughout the book ofPhilippians: joy, humility, unity in Christ, sacrificial service, and a lifecentered on doing the will of God every day. And when we live that kind oflife, we discover the joy that only God can give.

Episode #373 – Why Your Email Campaigns Might All Sound the Same Seasonal themes can make your email marketing feel cohesive and intentional - but lean too hard into one, and suddenly every email starts sounding the same. If you've ever planned a month of campaigns around a theme like Spring Refresh, Holiday Sparkle, or New Year Energy, you know how helpful it can feel at first. Themes give your calendar structure and make creative planning easier. But there's a hidden trap. When the theme quietly becomes the strategy, your messaging can start to feel repetitive, vague, and less effective - even if everything looks perfectly on-brand. In this episode, I'm breaking down what over-theming actually looks like in email marketing and how to keep seasonal messaging fresh without forcing every campaign to fit the same creative angle. Instead of letting the theme lead the strategy, you'll learn how to structure campaigns around the job each email needs to do - and use themes as supporting creative elements rather than the main message. You'll learn: • Why seasonal themes are helpful — but shouldn't drive your entire strategy • What over-theming actually looks like inside a campaign calendar • Why cohesive messaging doesn't automatically lead to conversions • The subtle way repeated theme language reduces urgency and engagement • How customers actually experience your emails in their inbox • The types of campaigns every ecommerce brand should rotate through • How to use seasonal themes as creative seasoning — not the main ingredient • A simple self-check to know when your theme has started weakening your messaging Themes should create momentum, not monotony. When each email focuses on a specific job — whether that's new arrivals, merchandising, proof, or urgency — your messaging stays clear, relevant, and much more likely to convert.

 This week Sidey, Dan, and Cris fly solo — Simon's been called to Southampton on urgent business (he was spotted in a pub surrounded by tea cups, so make of that what you will). The dads are reviewing Ballad of a Small Player (2024), the new Netflix film from Edward Berger — the director behind All Quiet on the Western Front and Conclave — starring a very much on-form Colin Farrell. The Film: Colin Farrell plays Lord Doyle, a dissolute British gambler drowning in debt in the casinos of Macau — and if you thought Vegas was the gambling capital of the world, think again. Doyle owes 352,000 Hong Kong dollars to the house, is blagging his way past the front desk in a crumpled cravat, and somehow still looks magnificent. He falls in with a mysterious young woman at the Baccarat tables, and from there the film slides into gorgeous, ambiguous territory — is she real? Is any of this? And does it even matter when the rush of the bet is the only thing that feels true? Themes of addiction, redemption, obsession, and the question of whether you can ever really stop — all wrapped in the stylised, sun-drenched visual language of Macau's casino underworld. The lads give it two words each: "All in" (Dan), "Bizarre but funny" (Cris), and "Strong recommend" (Sidey). Consensus: go watch it. Top Five: Gardens The boys dig into their favourite cinematic, televisual, musical, and gaming gardens. From the gnome in Amélie and David Lynch's suburban lawn horror in Blue Velvet, to the brutal communal fields of Midsommar, Spirited Away's otherworldly beauty, and the garden in Saltburn that had certain members of the pod seeing quite a lot of a particular actor. Wonka's chocolate garden gets a nod, as does Miss Peregrine's hedge-portal to another time. Sidey & Reegs are also going to see Wu-Tang Clan at the O2.

Jay Jacobs, U.S. head of equity ETFs at BlackRock, says that the artificial-intelligence revolution has delivered massive spending, but not at levels that have been spent relative to gross domestic product, during other generational shifts like the introduction of the automobile. As a result, while he understands the bubble concerns, he expects AI to continue holding its place among BlackRock's global thematic trends. Also on that list of trends is geopolitical shifts, which were well underway before current events evolved into a war in Iran; because those trends were in place before today's developments, Jacobs says he doesn't expect markets or outlooks to be dramatically impacted by headline events. Jacobs also discusses the new iShares Staked Ethereum fund, a new development in the crypto space, which the firm is launching today. Wade Pfau,  professor of retirement income, at The American College of Financial Services, discusses his revised, third edition of "Retirement Planning Guidebook: Navigating the Important Decisions for Retirement Success," which includes a new section covering sequence-of-inflation risk. Pfau says that concern -- which financial advisers mostly overlooked -- is particularly important now given growing concerns about sticky inflation, and that it may be as important for retirement savers as sequence-of-return risk, which Chuck typically says is his biggest retirement-savings worry. Plus, Todd Rosenbluth, head of research at VettaFi, leans into global turmoil this week, picking a diversified international fund as his ETF of the Week.

In this episode, I answer a listener question about working with an inquisitive 11-year-old who frequently asks questions during sessions. Many child-centered play therapists struggle with how to respond when children ask for information, especially because the model encourages us to feign ignorance, avoid teaching, and return responsibility to the child. I explain why our adherence to the CCPT model should never be dictated by how a child reacts, even when frustration emerges. When a child becomes upset about not getting answers, that reaction is often revealing something important about their need for control, certainty, or responsibility—exactly the material that needs to surface in the playroom. I also discuss how therapists can use clinical judgment when deciding whether to answer a child's question. If the question is relational and aimed at getting to know the therapist, brief and appropriate answers can support connection. But when questions are driven by power, control, or a demand for certainty, we return responsibility rather than becoming the source of information. I clarify the appropriate use of "I wonder" statements as well, explaining that they should be reserved for moments when we genuinely need information from the child to participate in the play. Ultimately, the goal is to balance fidelity to the model with genuine, relational engagement so the playroom remains both child-centered and authentic.

The Devil WithinThe Castle of the Damned — Episode One: The Necromancer's Bargain Episode Overview In 1987, an archaeological team investigating Hermitage Castle in the Scottish Borders made a discovery that would disturb historians, archaeologists, and paranormal investigators alike. Hidden beneath the castle's great hall was a sealed chamber, untouched for centuries. Inside they found ritual symbols carved into the stone, shelves of forbidden texts, and a lead coffin covered in Latin inscriptions. Something inside had been trying to claw its way out. And according to medieval records… it once belonged to William de Soulis. This episode investigates the dark legend of William de Soulis — a fourteenth-century nobleman whose obsession with forbidden knowledge transformed his castle into what historians now believe may have been a ritual laboratory for necromantic experiments. We explore: The strange library of occult texts inherited by the de Soulis family William's documented experiments attempting to communicate with supernatural entities His alleged bargain with an entity known only as “The Teacher” The gradual transformation of both the man and the castle itself Reports of supernatural architecture within Hermitage Castle — rooms and corridors behaving impossibly The violent events surrounding William's death in 1320 The extraordinary measures taken by monks to seal his body in lead and stone But the story does not end with his death. Because when archaeologists reopened the hidden chamber in 1987… the coffin was no longer sealed. Themes in This Episode: The dangers of knowledge pursued without wisdom Medieval occult traditions hidden within historical records The intersection of ambition, scholarship, and supernatural belief Whether evil is invited… or discovered The excavation of Hermitage Castle revealed far more than medieval artifacts. It may have reawakened something. And the people who studied the discovery would soon begin to pay a terrible price.

In this episode, I talk through the differences between independent play and collaborative play in child-centered play therapy sessions, and why understanding the distinction is so important. Early in the therapy process, children often play independently as they are still orienting to the playroom, building trust, and determining whether the relationship feels safe. Independent play is not a problem to solve and does not mean the child is "stuck." In fact, a child may play independently throughout the entire course of therapy and still be doing exactly what they need to do for their own healing process. I also explain the different degrees of collaborative play that can emerge when a child begins to include the therapist. These invitations can range from very small moments—such as asking the therapist to retrieve an object or count something—to deeper levels of shared play where the therapist takes on a character or participates directly in the action. The first time a child invites us into their play at any level is incredibly meaningful because it reflects trust, alliance, and the child's recognition that we are part of their therapeutic journey. I also discuss how noticing and documenting these shifts can help therapists track progress and communicate meaningful changes to parents during consultations.

This fireside chat podcast features Dr. Jeannie Kim, a community college leader, discussing the intersection of artificial intelligence, humanity, and leadership in higher education. The conversation explores how educational institutions can navigate rapid technological change while maintaining human connection and addressing the emotional toll on faculty, staff, and students. Themes discussed between N2N's Storyteller in Residence and host of Quantum Leap 2026, Dr. Rod Berger, and Dr. Jeannie Kim. 1. Humanity in an AI-Driven World Dr. Kim and the host bond over being cancer survivors, using this as a lens to discuss facing finality while living in a world of endless possibility Emphasis on maintaining hope and resilience when confronting technological transformation AI should handle mundane tasks so humans can focus on meaningful connections 2. Leadership Challenges in Higher Education Leaders must carefully navigate AI adoption across three groups: early adopters (20%), middle adopters (60%), and resistant "clay layer" (20%) Fear pervades all levels of the organization Success requires vulnerability, storytelling, and emotional connection rather than having all the answers Must move away from "sage on the stage" mentality toward creating organic connections 3. Behind-the-Scenes Struggles Dr. Kim reveals challenges not widely discussed in the popular press: Mental health crisis among administrators, faculty, staff, and students Overwhelming combination of political/social chaos, rapid AI changes, and curriculum redesign Faculty capacity limitations when asked to defend content and completely revise teaching methods Outdated technology (still using 2000s-era tools during COVID in 2020) 4. Practical AI Integration California community colleges provide Google Gemini access to all students and employees Dr. Kim uses AI daily for iterative learning, crafting detailed prompts (sometimes over a page long) Uses paid, encapsulated version for privacy Encourages exploring AI for both professional and personal questions Most popular ChatGPT use: relationship advice/personal therapy 5. Education's Path Forward Must acknowledge "we don't know what we don't know." Avoid one-size-fits-all solutions that plagued previous technology implementations Focus on student-centered values that everyone can rally around Create space for failure and learning while respecting diverse perspectives Regular and substantive faculty-student interaction remains critical 6. New Leadership Skills Needed Spend less time on mundane tasks, more on human connection Create moments where people connect organically Be open to uncomfortable conversations and challenging perspectives Learn something new every day Provide diverse perspectives (example: hosting NYT bestselling author Karen Howe) Notable Quotes: "AI can take care of those things that, quite frankly, I didn't wanna do in the first place." "We don't know what we don't know, and we don't take the time to figure out what we don't know." "It's not a one-size-fits-all" "We need to figure out how to stop being the sage on the stage." This conversation took place at the Quantum Leap 2026 conference, brought to you by End to End and Lightleap AI, focusing on innovation in higher education.

The Devil Within Prayers for the Damned — Episode Two: The Exorcism That Broke the Church's Silence In August 1928, Father Theophilus Riesinger arrived at a secluded convent in Earling, Iowa. He believed he was performing an exorcism. Instead, he walked into a spiritual war that had been building for 105 years. Episode Two documents the most detailed and widely reported exorcism in American history — a twenty-three-day ordeal that tested the limits of ritual, endurance, and belief. This episode explores: Anna Ecklund's condition upon arrival at the convent Reports of multiple entities speaking through her voice Supernatural strength, levitation, and unknown languages Psychological warfare against priests and nuns The emotional and physical toll on everyone involved A radical shift in strategy: instead of fighting the demons… allowing them to reveal themselves As the entities expose their methods and motives, a disturbing possibility emerges: Anna isn't just possessed. She's a spiritual anchor — the center of a network of damage spread over decades. The Turning Point Father Riesinger abandons traditional exorcism. Instead of resistance, he allows full manifestation — a dangerous gamble that ultimately reveals the limits of the forces inside her. On December 23, 1928, at 3:17 PM, Anna speaks in her own voice for the first time in more than a century. The voices are gone. But the victory comes at a cost. Themes in This Episode The psychological toll of prolonged spiritual conflict Institutional faith pushed to its breaking point The idea that some possessions are transformations, not conditions A haunting question: If suffering defines a person, what remains when it's removed? Anna lived twelve more years after the exorcism — quiet, withdrawn, and described by witnesses as spiritually “translucent.” Saved. But never the same. Call to Action If this story challenged your understanding of faith, evil, and the human mind: Because sometimes the real horror isn't possession… It's the price of being set free.

In this episode, Nathan Wrigley talks with Ben Pines about founder-led marketing, particularly in the WordPress and SaaS spaces. Ben explains how traditional marketing tactics like SEO and paid ads are less effective due to AI-generated content, and advocates for a personal, trust-building approach where founders consistently share authentic insights. He describes how he helps founders develop a marketing system with minimal time commitment, just 1-2 hours a week, focused on genuine business sense and value, not just features. The discussion also touches on the importance of making marketing feel human and credible. Go listen...

In this episode of Reboot IT, host Dave Coriale, President of DelCor, sits down with Andrew Leggett, Director of Cybersecurity at DelCor, and Chris Ecker, Chief Technology Officer at DelCor, to unpack two critical cybersecurity topics every association and nonprofit should be thinking about right now: phishing‑resistant MFA and preparing your Microsoft 365 environment for Copilot. They discuss why passkeys truly improve the user experience, how oversharing in Microsoft 365 creates risk, and what steps organizations must take before deploying AI tools. This conversation is packed with practical guidance leaders can act on immediately.Themes and Topics:Why It's Time to Level Up Your MFATraditional MFA isn't enough anymore with modern phishing attacks. FIDO2 passkeys make logging in easier for your staff, not harder.Passkeys Are Way Simpler Than Passwords (Really!)A short PIN or FaceID is more secure than a long, complex password.Your device's TPM chip keeps those credentials locked down safely.How Modern Phishing Tricks Users, and What Stops ItAttackers now steal MFA approvals and ride along on active sessions. Phishing-resistant MFA shuts the door on those token-harvesting scams.Before You Turn on Copilot, Fix How Your Association Shares FilesYears of sharing files without guidelines or guardrails can create hidden risks.Copilot can surface any file users have access to, even old oversharing.Why 365 Sharing Settings Matter More Than EverUsers must run their own OneDrive reports (admins can't see it all).SharePoint tools help find where HR, finance, or executive docs may be exposed.Leadership Buy‑In Makes or Breaks These UpgradesChange management matters, especially if the C‑suite wants exceptions. Passkeys also offer a chance to simplify tools and retire extras like Duo.

In this episode, I answer two listener questions that highlight common challenges child-centered play therapists face in session and in communication with parents. First, I respond to a question about a child who unexpectedly leaves the playroom and begins knocking on another counselor's door. I explain how to think clearly about the actual limit in the situation, why identifying the correct limit is essential for offering effective choices, and how therapists can position themselves proactively once they know a child may try to leave the room. I also walk through examples of choices that map directly to the limit so the child can return to compliance while still maintaining the integrity of the play therapy process. In the second question, I discuss how to handle parents who send frequent, lengthy emails analyzing their child's behavior. I explain why this often stems from parents' anxiety and their previous experiences with other systems like schools or medical providers. I emphasize the importance of clearly articulating communication expectations from the very first parent consultation and outline a simple script therapists can use to acknowledge emails without reinforcing constant communication. I also explain how to reset expectations with parents when boundaries were not clearly established at the beginning of the relationship.

The Devil Within Prayers for the Damned — Episode One: The Girl Who Wouldn't Stay Saved At 3:17 AM, the screaming stopped. For twenty-three days, a convent in Earling, Iowa endured sounds that tested the limits of faith — inhuman voices, violent manifestations, and a woman whose suffering stretched back more than a century. But the story of Anna Ecklund didn't begin in America. It began in a remote Austrian village… with a father's betrayal. Episode Overview In Episode One, we follow the origins of what would become America's most documented case of demonic possession. This episode explores: Emma Schmidt's childhood in 19th-century Austria The abuse and trauma that preceded her first possession in 1823 Early exorcism attempts by local priests Strange phenomena: foreign languages, supernatural knowledge, violent reactions to sacred objects The role of occult practices allegedly performed by her father and a local witch The growing isolation of a family marked by fear, shame, and suspicion The Church's early failures — and the long shadow those failures would cast As Emma becomes Anna Ecklund and emigrates to America, her symptoms disappear for years… until the darkness returns — stronger, more organized, and waiting. Themes in This Episode The intersection of trauma, faith, and possession Generational sin and spiritual consequence When religious intervention fails — and what that does to belief How a single case can ripple through communities, clergy, and institutions What Comes Next By 1928, Anna is sixty-nine years old. The Church prepares for one final attempt. It will take twenty-three days. And it will change how the Catholic Church understands possession forever.

The Hoover Institution's Project on Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific Region held a public session on Resilient Realists: How Taiwan Navigates Its Future in a Turbulent World on March 2, 2026 from 1:00-2:30 PM PT. Since the emergence of the COVID-19 pandemic, geopolitical competition between the United States and the People's Republic of China (PRC) has rapidly intensified, and the global order has faced growing strains. Through it all, Taiwan has remained remarkably resilient. In the face of relentless diplomatic, economic, and military pressure from Beijing, Taiwan's leaders have leveraged the island's critical role in global technology supply chains, its reputation as a robust liberal democracy, and its strategic position in the Indo-Pacific to deepen engagement with key world powers. As many Americans question core assumptions of the post-Cold War global order, the PRC's military power continues to grow, and the world stands on the cusp of a technological revolution in artificial intelligence, can Taiwan continue to navigate so deftly through turbulent geopolitical waters? To address these topics, the Project on Taiwan in the Indo-Pacific Region at the Hoover Institution held a fireside chat featuring Dr. Hung-mao Tien, President of the Institute for National Policy Research (INPR) in Taipei and a former Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of China (Taiwan). Dr. Tien joined in conversation by Adm. (Ret.) James O. Ellis, the Annenberg Distinguished Visiting Fellow, and Dr. Larry Diamond, the William L. Clayton Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution.   ABOUT THE SPEAKERS Dr. Hung-mao Tien is the President and Chairman of the Institute for National Policy Research in Taipei, and board member of several foundations and business corporations in Taiwan. He also serves as a Senior Advisor to the President of the Republic of China (Taiwan). From 2000-2002, he was the Minister of Foreign Affairs. He also served as the chairman of the Straits Exchange Foundation, the semi-official body in Taiwan responsible for direct exchanges and dialogue with the People's Republic of China, Representative (ambassador) to the United Kingdom, and presidential advisor to former President Lee Teng-hui.

It's the first breakdown episode of the year, and Ryan and David are heading to New York City for Christmas — whether Clint Barton likes it or not. This month on Puny Pod, the MCU rewatch podcast that covers the Marvel Cinematic Universe in release order, Ryan and David dig into Hawkeye, the 2021 Disney+ miniseries that brought Jeremy Renner's reluctant Avenger back into the spotlight — this time alongside a sharp-shooting, clock-tower-demolishing newcomer named Kate Bishop. They cover the show's comic book roots, the street-level MCU stakes, some very exciting returning faces, and why this one might be more important to the future of the MCU than it gets credit for. Plus the usual: production notes, comic breakdowns, MVP picks, and a debate about whether David made the right call on Broadway. Next up on Puny Pod: Spider-Man: No Way Home. Themes by J.R.

In this episode, I address something I see far too often in child-centered play therapy: therapists struggling to let children struggle. If it is painful for you to watch a child wrestle with frustration, anger, failure, or confusion in the playroom, we need to examine that. Returning responsibility is not a technical skill we check off a list — it is a philosophical commitment. When we subtly rescue, hint, guide, or ease a child's struggle, we undermine the very growth CCPT is designed to produce. I revisit the butterfly-and-cocoon metaphor from the CPRT curriculum to illustrate why struggle is not harmful — it is strengthening. The resistance, frustration, and emotional intensity children experience in the playroom are the very processes that build regulation, grit, competence, and self-trust. Our role is not to fix, save, or soothe away difficulty. Our role is to stay grounded, neutral, and expectant — trusting that what the child is working through is exactly what they need. If we are internally distressed by their struggle, that is our work to do. Fidelity to the model requires that we celebrate the struggle, not relieve it.

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.
