This week I Talk About The 2026 Mid-Year Business Checkup [powerpress]

This episode of Love, Sex & Tarot covers three main topics: relationship privacy, tarot charm readings, and zodiac lover profiles for Aries and Scorpio. Tarot/Charm Readings: The host delivers three charm readings — Bird, Vampire Teeth, and Money Sign — framed as personalized readings where listeners assign each symbol to someone in their love life (a crush, ex, or romantic option). Themes include hidden feelings, karmic relationships, third-party situations, and emotional breakthroughs. Relationship Privacy: A candid discussion on why privacy is essential in healthy relationships — covering male masturbation, pornography, phone checking, jealousy, and trust. The host argues that accepting a partner's private sexuality leads to better intimacy, stronger trust, and longer-lasting relationships.

The conversation focused on Angie, Elementor's AI-driven tool for WordPress, highlighting its integration, ease of use, and ability to generate custom code snippets and widgets without requiring Elementor's page builder. A key theme that emerged was the evolving role of AI in web development, blending rapid AI-generated first drafts with refinements through traditional interfaces. The discussion got into how Angie facilitates both creativity and efficiency, supports best WordPress practices, and safeguards site changes through sandboxing. Several points were raised, including Angie's token-based access model and its fast-growing adoption with over 30,000 active installs.

In this episode, I answer a follow-up question about children bringing items from home into the playroom and explore a specific scenario involving a child who brings schoolwork and homework into session. I discuss why children often bring meaningful objects from their lives outside the playroom and why those items can serve important purposes, including self-soothing, safety, connection, and communication. Rather than focusing on whether an item is traditionally considered a "play therapy toy," I encourage therapists to consider the deeper significance of why the child chose to bring it and what need it may be meeting in that moment. I also share my perspective on children reading books, completing homework, or engaging in other nontraditional activities during session. When we truly trust the child and trust the process, we recognize that every choice the child makes is meaningful and necessary for their therapeutic journey. Whether a child spends the session playing, reading, coloring, doing homework, sitting quietly, or simply being present, our role remains the same: provide acceptance, reflect the child's experience, and honor their autonomy. I also discuss how to navigate parent reactions when a child's choices in session don't align with adult expectations and why setting clear expectations with parents is a critical part of supporting the therapeutic process. New Resource for Play Therapists: The Parent Companion for Play Therapy is now available at author pricing for therapists. Created specifically to help parents better understand the child-centered play therapy process, this book is designed to support parent engagement, improve buy-in, and reduce attrition throughout the therapeutic journey.

Shelly Fairchild on Staying in the Queue, Recording at FAME, and Building an Independent CareerOn Curious Goldfish, host Jason English talks with Mississippi-born, Nashville-based singer-songwriter Shelly Fairchild about persevering through setbacks (“stay in the queue” and “buy the tree”), including losing a major label deal 20 years ago after being outed and forging an independent path since. Fairchild shares why it took a decade to make her new album, how a Kickstarter funded it, and why she recorded at FAME Studios in Muscle Shoals with producers Gary Nichols and Greg Beek, describing the studio's historic energy and an accompanying documentary shoot. She compares the new record's themes of home, loss, and identity to earlier albums, discusses songs like “End Up in Austin,” “Missin' Mississippi,” and “Struggle,” and reflects on musical theater roots, touring as a backing vocalist, and writing high-volume sync music for TV/film—including navigating AI demo tools and changing music economics.00:00 Stay in the Queue01:05 Podcast Welcome and Guest Intro01:51 Water Filter Cold Open03:34 Ten Years Between Albums05:16 Why Muscle Shoals and FAME10:26 The Magic of Muscle Shoals12:45 Themes and Storytelling Roots14:56 Finding Her Sound Over Time17:22 End Up in Austin Backstory20:00 More Songs and The Struggle23:11 Musical Theater Origins28:46 Business Lessons from Touring32:01 Stay in the Queue34:32 Whirlwind Tour Lessons35:39 Bus Driver Wakeup Call37:24 Two Decades in a Blur38:08 Making Money with Sync41:14 How Sync Writing Works44:44 AI and Demo Shortcuts47:52 Losing the Deal Coming Out51:00 Authenticity and Activism56:06 Curiosity and Distribution59:49 Tour Dates and Farewell

In this episode I explore the key findings from the Child Safeguarding Practice Review Panel Annual Report 2024–25 and what the latest national learning tells us about the risks facing children across England. Whilst many of the themes will feel familiar, the report highlights the increasing complexity of children's lives and the importance of understanding cumulative harm, family adversity and children's lived experiences.  In this episode you will hear: • The vulnerability of babies under one year of age demosntrated within safeguarding reviews • How neglect, domestic abuse, parental mental ill-health, substance misuse and poverty often interact to create significant risks for children • How practitioners must move beyond individual presenting concerns  • The growing role of mental health concerns and online harms within serious safeguarding incidents • What the 21% reduction in serious incident notifications may mean for safeguarding partnerships and national learning   This episode also reflects on the enduring importance of professional curiosity, effective information sharing, multi-agency collaboration and maintaining a relentless focus on the child's daily lived experience.   I announced last week that there will be two SILP School scholarships available for the October 2026 intake. The SILP School mission is deeply intertwined with my decision to launch this scholarship scheme. It is important to me that we promote diversity and inclusion in this profession I'm proud to be part of.  This year we will award 1 full needs-based SILP School scholarships & 1 part scholarship. One place will attract zero payment & the other will be charged at 50% to begin SILP School with the October 2026 intake.

Today on Ascend: The Great Books Podcast, Deacon Harrison Garlick is joined by Dr. Frank Grabowski and Dr. Alex Petkas (host of the Cost of Glory) for a rich discussion of Odyssey Books 13 and 14. Check out all our resources on the great books!Check out the Cost of Glory!Check our the Porch and Altar, Dr. Grabowski's Substack.Odysseus finally reaches Ithaca—sleeping peacefully through the voyage as the Phaeacians carry him ashore—only to awaken uncertain and disguised by Athena as a beggar. The conversation explores his strategic plotting with the goddess, the symbolic Cave of the Nymphs (including a fascinating Neoplatonic reading from Porphyry), the poignant encounter with the loyal swineherd Eumaeus, and Odysseus's layered “lies” that reveal deep truths about his character. The guests delve into themes of homecoming, the restoration of patriarchal order, xenia (guest-friendship), internal moral growth, and the slowing narrative pace as Homer shifts focus from external adventures to the subtle work of reclaiming one's house.This episode offers fresh, layered insights perfect for both first-time readers and Odyssey veterans, blending literary analysis, philosophy, and practical wisdom on loyalty, cunning, and self-mastery. Whether you're drawn to the theological depth of the cave, the psychological realism of Odysseus' deceptions, or the timeless lessons on rebuilding order amid chaos, Dcn. Garlick, Dr. Grabowski, and Dr. Petkas make these often-overlooked books come alive with warmth, humor, and profound appreciation.

In this episode of the CCPT Mythbusters series, I tackle the belief that children need guidance to change. This myth is deeply embedded in our culture and shows up in many therapeutic approaches through advice, instruction, worksheets, lessons, and adult-directed interventions. I explain why this assumption directly contradicts the foundations of person-centered and child-centered theory. From the beginning, Carl Rogers challenged the idea that people need an expert to tell them how to grow. Instead, he demonstrated that when the right conditions are present, human beings naturally move toward healing, growth, and self-actualization. Children are no different. I also explore what children actually need in order to change. Rather than guidance, they need a therapeutic relationship, a therapeutic environment, and unconditional acceptance. In CCPT, we trust that children understand their struggles and possess an innate capacity to work through them. Our role is not to write the script, direct the action, or determine the path forward. Instead, we provide the stage and trust the child's process. This episode is a powerful reminder that effective therapy is not about controlling change—it is about creating the conditions where change can naturally occur. New Resource for Play Therapists: The Parent Companion for Play Therapy is now available at author pricing for therapists. Created specifically to help parents better understand the child-centered play therapy process, this book is designed to support parent engagement, improve buy-in, and reduce attrition throughout the therapeutic journey.

Being present with the brokeness (material and immaterial) in our own bodies and the bodies of others is a difficult thing. But we have a God who entered our broken humanity to be in solidarity with us. Will we honor his presence with us in this brokenness and allow him to be at home with us in those broken places? Even there, he is holding us until the coming age of full renewal. Scripture: Psalm 139:7-10

Signals in the Dark is a cinematic progressive trance and melodic EDM journey that unfolds as a single interconnected story across ten tracks. Told through powerful male and female duet vocals, the album follows two strangers drawn together by an unexplainable connection that neither distance nor time can erase. What begins as a faint feeling in the shadows slowly evolves into a shared path filled with discovery, hope, anticipation, and ultimately reunion. Built on soaring synth melodies, driving trance rhythms, emotional piano motifs, and expansive electronic soundscapes, each song serves as a chapter in a larger narrative. Themes introduced early in the album return in new forms, creating a continuous thread that carries listeners from uncertainty to clarity and from longing to fulfillment. Rather than focusing on technology or futuristic imagery, Signals in the Dark explores the invisible forces that pull people together, the moments that shape our journeys, and the belief that some connections are destined to be found. The album crescendos through euphoric highs and reflective lows before arriving at a peaceful and satisfying conclusion. Emotional, uplifting, and deeply immersive, Signals in the Dark is a story told through melody, rhythm, and voice, inviting listeners to lose themselves in a world where every step forward leads closer to where they were always meant to be.

The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse are often treated as distant, frightening symbols of the end times. But in this episode of Everyone Dies, we take a grounded, thoughtful look at what Conquest, War, Famine, and Death represent—and why they matter right now. From global conflict and food insecurity to health crises and the absolute certainty of mortality, these ancient images continue to mirror modern life.This isn't a conversation about fear. By naming these struggles, we strip away their power, allowing us to live with greater intention, care deeply for one another, and remember that even in uncertain times, every single day is a gift.

Dave wraps Season 7 of Reboot IT with Gretchen Steenstra, VP, Client Strategy at DelCor, and a discussion on how organizations can get unstuck and find success with their technology initiatives. Gretchen shares insights from her experience working across multiple organizations, exploring the balance between strategy and execution, the importance of adoption and change management, and how CEOs, CIOs, and business leaders each contribute to achieving success. Themes and Topics:The Balance Between Strategy and ExecutionOrganizations often lean too heavily toward either visionary strategy or detailed execution; success requires both.Strategy sets direction, but execution delivers results and the two must continuously inform each other.Periodic “zoom out” moments are essential to ensure execution is still aligned with strategic goals.Alignment Across the OrganizationTechnology is no longer separate. IT plans must align directly with organizational strategy.CIOs play a critical role in connecting leadership vision with operational reality.Alignment requires continuous communication between leadership, staff, and partners.The Role of the CEO and LeadershipCEOs should connect high-level vision to day-to-day operations without getting lost in the details. Leadership can remove blockers, balance priorities, and champion initiatives effectively. Leadership alignment helps teams understand how their work contributes to the organizational mission.The CIO as a Translator and NegotiatorCIOs act as intermediaries between business needs, technology teams, vendors, and security requirements.They must balance usability and security, often negotiating trade-offs between the two.CIOs also serve as escalation points when projects stall or teams hit roadblocks.Adoption and Change ManagementThe real work begins after launch. Long-term adoption determines success.Organizations often underinvest in post-launch behaviors and process changes.Preventing “backslide” requires ongoing reinforcement and attention to how people actually work.Building Tech Literacy and Cross-Functional CollaborationBusiness leaders must develop a baseline understanding of how systems connect and interact.Cross-functional planning (marketing, finance, IT, membership) helps surface risks early.Mapping the full customer journey, from awareness to transaction to delivery, improves outcomes.

In this episode, I answer a question about a 7-year-old child whose play therapy sessions have been marked by extreme dysregulation, constant limit setting, destruction of materials, and very little observable progress after 16 sessions. I explore several possible explanations for this kind of presentation, including neurodivergence, developmental immaturity, a complete lack of experience with self-regulation and autonomy, and the possibility that the child is testing whether the therapeutic relationship can withstand his most challenging behaviors. I also discuss why children who appear chaotic externally are often revealing the chaos they experience internally, and why those behaviors can provide valuable insight into what is happening beneath the surface. Most importantly, I address the therapist's understandable concern that the process feels "clunky" and ineffective. When a child is this dysregulated, progress is often slower and less obvious, but that does not mean change is not occurring. I explain why these cases require extraordinary patience, trust, and adherence to the model, even when there is little external evidence that things are improving. Sometimes our most challenging clients become our most remarkable transformation stories. This episode is a reminder that CCPT is enough, that self-actualization is always occurring, and that our role is to trust the child, trust the process, and remain faithful to the model even when the journey is difficult.

Caitlin Shetterly wrote about a mom with breast cancer in The Gulf of Lions, a follow-up to Pete and Alice in Maine. Then, in a strange plot twist, she got breast cancer herself. It's hard to believe Caitlin's diagnosis came after the fact because the emotions are so visceral and descriptive in the story. It's like it had already happened. The plot centers on a mom taking her two teen/tween daughters to France for the summer after her husband cheated on her — and the unexpected twists and turns of the trip. Themes include family, secrets, trust, lust, and the joy of travel.Lauren and I spoke about her novel, Very Slowly All at Once, about a couple who starts getting mysterious checks in the mail. The husband is an out-of-work professor who finds out something odd when visiting his mother in her post-stroke home. The wife is desperate to find excitement. What happens next?

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. If you want to find replays of the 2019 Back to School online conference referenced in this episode, you can purchase them in Cindy's shop at MorningTimeforMoms.com. You can also find out about all the current classes and summer events happening at HouseofHumaneLetters.com. Check out the schedule for the podcast's summer episodes on our Upcoming Events page.

✨ If you don't know your intuition style yet, take the quizIn this June Predictions episode, Nikki shares five intuitive messages for the month ahead. June brings an opportunity to revisit familiar challenges with fresh eyes and gain the clarity you've been seeking. Themes include unexpected perspective shifts, reevaluating friendships, discovering life-changing wisdom through books and teachings, uncovering the deeper causes of financial blocks, and focusing on beauty, joy, and personal frequency rather than effort and struggle. This month invites you to release what no longer aligns, trust the changes unfolding, and allow abundance to flow through authenticity and self-expression.

This episode examines a case that sits at the uneasy boundary between criminal adjudication, media power, and moral authority: the prosecution and execution of Aileen Wuornos, labeled the “first female serial killer. We look at two documentaries by Nick Broomfield—Aileen Wuornos: The Selling of a Serial Killer (1992) and Aileen: Life and Death of a Serial Killer (2003)—alongside the feature film Monster (2003), written and directed by Patty Jenkins and starring Charlize Theron in an Oscar-winning role. Broomfield's documentaries are less about guilt or innocence than about process: who controls the narrative, how legal representation operates, and what happens when a defendant's life becomes an object of transaction, between lawyers, media, and the public. The films also penetrate the issues around the application of the death penalty in the United States, and the problems that arise when the state seeks to executive individuals who are themselves victims and suffer from severe mental illness. Monster  approaches the same facts through dramatization. It also raises important questions, including how far context should matter in judging criminal responsibility and construction of narratives around crimes.Timestamps:0:00   Introduction2:58   Capturing law on film5:24   The two Nick Broomfield documentaries11:16   Addressing Aileen Wuornos's murders14:04  The flawed defense strategy18:47  The depiction of Tyria Moore (Aileen Wuornos's girlfriend20:55  Selling the Aileen Wuornos story23:09  The theme of the “monster”28:29  Themes of betrayal and self-defense31:53   Nick Broomfield and an outsider view of the American legal system34:56  Mental illness and the death penalty37:39  Media coverage of sensational murders 39:22  Failures of the legal process44:26  A critique of the death penalty47:00  Exoticization in the filmsFurther Reading: Cavanaugh, L.

In this episode of the CCPT Mythbusters series, I tackle a belief that quietly shows up in many therapists' thinking: that what the child is doing in session isn't enough. Whether it's a child who only draws, only colors, only builds with Legos, or simply sits quietly week after week, there is often an underlying assumption that the child should be doing more. I challenge that assumption and explore how these thoughts reveal subtle agendas, expectations, and a lack of trust in the child's process. In child-centered play therapy, every behavior, every choice, and every moment in the playroom is meaningful. What the child is doing is enough because it is exactly what the child is choosing and able to do in that stage of their therapeutic journey. I also discuss how this myth can lead therapists away from full adherence to the model. When we begin believing that children should be talking more, playing differently, or progressing faster, we risk interfering with the very process we claim to trust. Instead, I encourage therapists to view every session through a lens of curiosity and confidence. The child who draws for twenty weeks, the child who makes a mess, the child who resists, and the child who sits in silence are all communicating something important. The more deeply we trust the child, the process, and the model, the more we can celebrate what is unfolding rather than wishing it were something else.

Created specifically to help parents better understand the child-centered play therapy process, this book is designed to support parent engagement, improve buy-in, and reduce attrition throughout the therapeutic journey.

Content Warning & Disclaimer Please proceed with caution. This episode may be highly triggering for survivors of abuse and trauma. Listener discretion is strongly advised. Tricia Gray grew up as one of four children in Louisiana, raised by a single mother who was trapped in a cycle of abusive relationships. At just five years old, Tricia became her mother's protector, shielding her through years of violence until into her late teens. Then tragedy struck: her mother was murdered in their own front yard by one of her abusers. Left to save herself, Tricia faced unimaginable pain and adversity. Yet from those darkest days, she forged an extraordinary path of resilience, mental strength, and spiritual growth. Her story is a powerful testament to human endurance and the ability to rise above trauma. In July 2026, Tricia Gray will release her highly anticipated memoir, "The Lotus Legacy". The book details her journey from childhood protector to empowered survivor, sharing the mindset, strategies, and inner work that helped her rebuild her life. In an exclusive interview, Tricia opens up about how she approached life's challenges and the deeply personal process of writing "The Lotus Legacy." Her story resonates with anyone seeking inspiration to overcome hardship, break generational cycles, and create a meaningful legacy. If Tricia could transform such profound trauma into strength and purpose with so few advantages, it challenges the rest of us to examine our own excuses. Her memoir isn't just a survival story — it's a blueprint for anyone ready to stop waiting for perfect conditions and start building a better life. Tricia's website is TriciaNGray.com.

To be human is to long for relational communion, and the essence of Christian communion is delighting in others for who they are as God's image bearers, not for what they can offer us. In this teaching, we explore the beautiful communion of the Trinity (Father, Son and Spirit) welcoming each of us into their communion of delight so we can share this with one another. This movement in our lives is essential to the healing and repair of the world in which we're often invited to not delight in others and to even remain in hostility with others and seeing them for only what they bring to us. Scriptures: 1 Corinthians 11, Genesis 3, Isaiah 40:27

In this episode, I share the inspiration behind the updated version of my book, Structure and Spirit, and explore the core themes woven throughout its two sections: Structure, which focuses on anatomy and movement principles, and Spirit, which explores themes of mindset, awareness, growth, and self-inquiry. From foundation, balance, and leverage to connection, resistance, and inspiration, I discuss how these ideas show up not only in yoga practice, but also in teaching and everyday life. This episode will give you themes you can easily use in your classes with your Signature Sequence as a way to create a different experience for your students without having to change the architecture of the sequence.    If you're interested, you can get the book here:     https://acesse.one/okxasuv

Craig is joined by author and music writer Jack Chuter and Boards of Canada archivist Tonx (Tony Konecny) to review Inferno, the long-awaited new record from Scottish electronic legends Boards of Canada. Together we unpack the album's dense thematic terrain: the figure of the child, religious hierarchy, memory, trauma, and the dissolution of linear time, while sharing their firsthand experiences of the Inferno Sessions listening events held in London, Los Angeles, and New York. Whether you're a longtime devotee of the Hexagon Sun or a newcomer algorithmically deposited into our space, this conversation is an invitation to sit with one of the most ambitious and rewarding records of the past decade.Support the showSupport the podcast:AHRCCurrent classes at Acid Horizon Research Commons (AHRC): acidhorizonresearchcommons.comAHRC Course Archive: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/ahrc-course-archivesSubmit your course proposal: acidhorizonresearchcommons@gmail.comMore LinksWebsite: https://www.acidhorizonpodcast.com/Linktree: https://linktr.ee/acidhorizonAcid Horizon on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/acidhorizonpodcastBoycott Watkins Media: https://xenogothic.com/2025/03/17/boycott-watkins-statement/Subscribe to us on your favorite podcast: https://pod.link/1512615438Merch: http://www.crit-drip.comSubscribe to us on your favorite podcast platform: https://pod.link/1512615438LEPHT HAND: https://www.patreon.com/LEPHTHANDHappy Hour at Hippel's (Adam's blog): https://happyhourathippels.wordpress.com​Split Infinities (Craig's Substack): https://splitinfinities.substack.com/​Music: https://sereptie.bandcamp.com/ and https://thecominginsurrection.bandcamp.com/

Today, the podcast is focused on the practical and personal impact of AI in daily workflows and business operations. One theme that emerged was the creation of a custom AI-powered journaling and knowledge management system, Navigator, used for personal insights, team collaboration, and onboarding. The discussion explored how AI provides a “second brain,” enhances memory, and enables more intentional business strategies. Several points were raised, including privacy concerns, the evolution of AI in work life, and its transformative effect on team communication and productivity. The episode highlighted both the opportunities and challenges posed by integrating AI deeply into business processes.
