The Gifted Ed Podcast was developed as a resource for educators who work with gifted and high-achieving students and for our parent community. Gifted children have advanced cognitive abilities for their age and this asynchronous development can often come with heightened intensity. Combined, this dissonance can create an inner experience and awareness that is qualitatively different from the norm. Through our podcast, we explore the complexities of educating gifted children through the sharing of experiences and interviews with educators and other professionals who work with gifted children. more

Raising girls is no joke. Add exceptionalities like giftedness, autism spectrum disorder, ADHD, learning differences, and anxiety into the mix, and you may feel like you're the only one struggling to figure it all out. You're not. As a mom myself, I know what it's like to help your neurodivergent child navigate the challenges of school, friendships, and family dynamics. Once my kiddo and I finally figured out her unique wiring, life got so much better. But it took almost 15 years, and that's way too long. I created this podcast to shorten the learning curve for others and increase awareness and understanding of female neurodiversity. Join me as we learn together how we can help our exceptional girls be seen, supported, and celebrated. Want to learn more? Visit www.exceptionalgirlspodcast.com. more

This podcast explores creative intelligence, the integration of cognitive and somatic awareness that represents our return to full human capacity. As a creative intelligence researcher, I'm investigating what we once had but lost, and what some of us still carry despite every effort by our systems to break our creative intelligence. Many people who've been labeled as having disabilities, learning differences, or who simply don't fit into current systems are actually carrying intact creative intelligence. What looked like a liability in rigid systems becomes essential capacity when those systems collapse. We had this integrated intelligence before, the ability to think somatically, to see whole systems, to think top down and bottom up, to connect rather than separate, to integrate past wisdom with future possibilities. Our institutions trained us to fragment our intelligence, to privilege only cognitive processing, to fit into narrow definitions of how minds should work. Now that those systems are failing, those of us who maintained or recovered our full intelligence are having to figure out how to survive and thrive without the structures that never really worked for us anyway. And we're discovering that what we carry is exactly what everyone needs now. Through deep exploration of ancient wisdom, mythology, and philosophy, each episode recovers practical knowledge about how creative intelligence actually works. Together we can remember how to reconnect the connection that we lost and build a sustainable world that reclaims our full human capacity. An essential skill for navigating for the change we are about to face. more

'Gifted trauma' is the trauma that gifted (highly intelligent) people can experience when ridiculed, ignored, rejected, misunderstood, out-of-place, left out or left behind, pressured, or excessively groomed as a result of their unusual minds. Their high mental complexity also affects their experience of more common traumas in important ways. In this podcast, Jennifer Harvey Sallin, psychologist & founder of www.intergifted.com, explores all this and the many paths to healing for gifted adults, with her guests. more
