(Encore of Episode 05) “I’m Speaking.”  We all remember that magical, kick-ass Kamala Harris moment, right?   We encourage our daughters to be assertive, share their stories, and speak up. But when we teach them that interrupting is impolite and rude, are we inadvertently undermining their ability to rightfully claim airtime -- even if they’re interrupted by someone else?  Will they choose politeness over being heard?  Will they be afraid to assert themselves in a lively discussion, afraid that they’ll offend?  Listen to hear: The different social norms for boys and girls Disparities in how much men talk versus women in executive settings The 10 words every girl needs to learn, according to Soraya Chemaly Sample phrases illustrating how to interrupt What to tell your daughters to make them feel more comfortable with interrupting   Know Them, Be Them, Raise Them New episodes drop every week (and sometimes in between).

Ever wish you had a magic spell that would guarantee your daughter turns into a brave and confident woman?  An “abracadabra” to ensure she grows up to be bold and powerful, in the best way?   While sadly there’s no such thing, Wendy Snyder, Positive Parenting Teacher, Family Coach and founder of A Fresh Start Family, offers us some guidance in her article, "10 Important Phrases Parents Can Use to Empower Their Daughters.”  The episode dives into how we can rephrase our words - how we can say things better, to better support our daughters. I love you no matter what. You are absolutely beautiful, inside and out. You are strong, and you’ve got this! I’m here to support you. How do you feel? Gosh, I love my  ______ (body part)!  What is your favorite part of your body? Oh yeah? Tell me more. How can you be a light in this situation? You have a strong desire to feel powerful and that is GOOD! How will you be the change you want to see? I am not ok with _____, or I’d like you to ______.

Self-Harm and kids. What parent isn’t struck with anxiety when they think of their child contemplating self harm?  What leads to self-harm becoming an option? (Warning: this episode discusses self-harm from an educational perspective. There are no personal stories or graphic experiences, but we do discuss what self-harm can look like.  For some, this might be difficult or you may choose not to listen to this around young children.  I encourage everyone to assess their situations, take care of themselves, and if you need additional resources, see the links to NAMI and the Crisis Textline below.) In Ep. 40, Cai Graham unpacks all of this with host Carmelita (Cat) Tiu in a frank discussion about the origins of self-harm and how we can respond.

Ok, who of us hasn’t cringed a little bit, thinking about "having the talk" with your kids?  Why does this awkwardness exist, and can we make it less awkward for our kids, so there’s a healthier dialogue about sex and bodies and relationships?   In Episode 39, Sarah Sproule unpacks all of this with host Carmelita Tiu, sharing what parents can do to create an open atmosphere, build healthy attitudes towards sex and their bodies, and empower their daughters with tools to craft healthy relationships. Some highlights: Where the awkwardness around sex-related topics comes from When and how to start talking about sex Why it’s not just what you say, it’s how you say it A script for have an open conversation with older kids about sex, when you haven’t had one before The importance of living the way healthy feels Guest Bio: When Sarah was 11 she was afraid she was only growing one breast and didn’t know who to turn to for help.  Now as mother of three teens, with two decades experience as a therapist and a masters in sexuality studies, Sarah uses her skills as an occupational therapist and sex educator to ensure every parent and caring adult knows how to nurture deeper connection with their growing kid(s).  Because no child should ever feel alone and unable to reach out for help with their body, their boundaries or their knowledge about sexuality.  … and yes Sarah eventually grew two breasts roughly the same size.

If you’re like me, you believe on some gut level that burying and ignoring your emotions isn’t healthy - and the research continues to back that. A https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/03/110323105202.htm (study) from the University of Texas found that when we avoid our emotions, we’re actually making them stronger — which can create serious implications for your body and mind, including depression, aggression, low self-esteem, and physical problems like headaches, insomnia, heart disease, intestinal problems.  Another thing to consider, is that opening up can go both ways.  We want to hold space for our sons and daughters, but when we’re feeling off, we make a mistake, or have big feelings, it’s also OK to share these with them in an age-appropriate way.  It’s only by knowing our hardships and obstacles that our kids will understand how resilient, persistent, and courageous we are. _____ Getting your tween or teen to talk to you can be notoriously difficult. We’re all used to one-word answers and hearing “fine” when we ask how they’re doing.   Today's article, "How to Get Kids to Open Up," comes from Ezza Mustaffa, a licensed professional counselor who works with individuals of all ages.

April is sexual assault awareness month -- a reminder to acknowledge and support survivors, advocate for further awareness, and educate ourselves and our kids. While we know what sexual assault is on some visceral level, I wanted to do a quick episode that spells out what body boundaries, sexual assault, and consent are. It's so hard to know when to talk about these topics - and how to talk about them without instilling fear or anxiety. So I tried to find ways to raise the topics organically, what to say as a baseline of understanding, and other helpful phrases that our daughters need to hear. Listen to hear: The definition of sexual assault and consent How to bring up this topic with your daughters, including using current events and pop culture to help facilitate conversations 7 things to say to your daughters, to foster open communication, and help them feel more empowered and aware about sexual assault going forward Other episodes to check out: https://www.rainn.org/ (RAINN.org) 24/7 Free Support Hotline - 800-656-HOPE (4673) Know Them, Be Them, Raise Them New episodes drop every Tuesday (and sometimes in between).

Every failure presents opportunities for learning, and a failed marriage is no different. In Ep. 32, Heather McGinley and Laura Koo chat with host Carmelita Tiu about the ups and downs of life post-divorce, and what they’ve learned. Some key takeaways: It’s helpful for kids to have a sense for the work that parents put into giving them the life that they have.  Tough moments can create opportunities for them to step up and be helpful. Sometimes divorce allows someone to be a better parent.  It may seem counterintuitive, but a toxic relationship can suck up an outsized amount of energy.  When you as a mom are able to come from a happy and healthy place, that positively impacts all of your relationships. Let your kids see your emotions.  It can open the door to talk about big feelings. Normalize that idea that romantic relationships have seasons and phases, just like friendships, and may not last forever.  Help them understand when and how to let go in a healthy way. Teach your daughters what a healthy relationship looks like. Remember that we are not merely the roles we play.  The role of “mom” is just one part of our selves.

Every year, International Women's Day chooses a theme -- a specific call to action in an effort to further gender parity. This year's theme is #breakthebias -- calling attention to the ways that explicit and implicit biases negatively impact women. And while we celebrate International Women's Day on March 8, we're challenged to use the rest of the year to make progress on ending gender bias. While we know what bias is on some visceral level, I wanted to do a quick episode that spells it all out -- what gender bias is, how it shows up in women's lives, and what we can do about it. In this episode on bias against women and girls, we cover: The definition of gender bias The most common biases that women face The bias that ties into imposter syndrome 4 ways women can move the needle on gender bias in the workplace 7 tips for helping reduce the negative impact of gender bias on our daughters One bonus tip for how to break your biases Other references in this episode: Ep. 26 - Cynthia Changyit Levin - "https://player.captivate.fm/episode/dd85688c-8839-4e0f-996b-e76d0a82d16f (From Changing Diapers to Changing the World)" Ep. 11 - Annie Warshaw of Mission Propelle - https://player.captivate.fm/episode/4fc96490-b95a-4899-a8ad-63b6821314a7 (Unpacking Gender Equity ) Know Them, Be Them, Raise Them New episodes drop every Tuesday (and sometimes in between).
