What if equality isn’t just the right thing to do—but the most effective path to growth? This episode explores new evidence from the African Center for Economic Transformation showing how closing gender gaps in access to land, finance, and care work drives productivity and resilience across economies. From rural farms to national policy, we uncover how empowering women unleashes a powerful “gender dividend” — fueling inclusive and sustainable economic transformation.Generated with AI using

I view Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592) as the first thinker who realized that scepticism can save one’s life. His insight is still true today, and will remain true for as long as people keep using deceit and misrepresentation to further their interests. Unfortunately, Montaigne’s defence of scepticism is rather messy. In some essays, he rightly refuses to believe other people’s statements when they contradict his own experience. I would call that prudence rather than scepticism, and I consider it a

When historians refer to scepticism in the works by Michel de Montaigne (1533-1592), they point to his general reluctance to accept absolute truths. Taken to extremes, scepticism weakens the confidence in one’s perceptions and ability to reason. Since Montaigne wrote essays during a twenty-year period, his own definition of scepticism shifted from general doubts, to self-doubt, to doubts about society’s institutions. The latter is particularly interesting for modern readers because, as Montaigne put

When I first learned about evidence-based practice, I remember staring at that glossy triangle — the research hierarchy pyramid — with meta-analyses gleaming at the top like sacred scripture.It was comforting at first. Finally, a clear map of what counts as truth.But once I entered practice, that tidy hierarchy started to crumble under the weight of real people’s lives.Human beings aren’t controlled variables, and occupation doesn’t fit neatly into double-blind trials.The Trouble with the Old

En este episodio reflexiono sobre las escritoras latinoamericanas que, por atreverse a escribir desde su experiencia y su cuerpo, han sido llamadas “horrorosas”. Hablo de Sor Juana, Juana de Ibarbourou, Alfonsina Storni, Gabriela Mistral, Ida Vitale, Rosario Castellanos y Rosa María Roffiel, entre otras mujeres que desafiaron el canon masculino y desplazaron al hombre del centro de la vida. No escribieron para agradar, sino para existir con voz propia. Y si eso resulta horroroso, que así sea: la

This episode explores humanity’s fascination with lucky and unlucky days, from Friday the 13th and the fear of the number 4 to the celebration of the number 8 and auspicious dates. It explains how psychological mechanisms like pattern perception, confirmation bias, and the illusion of control lead people to assign meaning to random dates and events. The episode shows how culture, religion, and emotion shape our relationship with time, turning calendars into systems of hope and caution. Ultimately,

Last week I reacted live to a powerful post shared by Bill Wong in our community. The article in question — “Occupational Therapy and the ‘Seat at the Table’ Fallacy” by ABC Therapeutics — suggests that the push for higher credentials in OT (e.g., mandatory OTD) has been mis-directed:“A degree doesn’t grant influence. Credentials open doors, but they don’t dictate what happens once you step through them … A ‘seat at the table’ means very little if the table itself was built by someone else.” ABC

I hopped on live this week after a rich conversation in the Practical OT Facebook group (hi Chris! 🙌).Chris shared The Intentional Relationship Model — Renee Taylor’s seminal text on therapeutic use of self and the relational core of practice (and yes, the IRM lineage connects to Gary Kielhofner and MOHO).That post opened a door I care deeply about:Why do so many of us still feel hesitant—or “naughty”—bringing the psychosocial domain into “traditional” OT settings?Short answer: our systems trained

In today's quick bonus episode, we break down what we know about the recent case of a mass shooting averted at Atlanta's Hartsfield-Jackson International Airport. This could have been a devastating tragedy, but it was stopped thanks to a family member seeing something concerning and reporting it. We talk about how this shooting was averted, the concept of leakage, and why it is so important that the public is educated on the warning signs of mass shooters. I close with a quick ran...
