My Kid Is Being Bullied. What do I do? W/Dr. Kate Lund Aug 02, 2022

Show notes

In 2019 the National Crime Victimization Survey indicated that nationwide, about 22% of students age 12 to 18 experienced bullying on school property in a 12 month period. How can we tell if our kid is being bullied? What do we do if our kid is the bully? How and when do we talk to our kids about bullying?

Kate struggled as a child with a medical condition called Hydrocephalus which made some of the typical activities of childhood challenging. Her parents' unwavering belief in their child built an inner resilience that led to a successful career and life despite her challenges.
As a licensed, clinical psychologist, she has worked with major hospitals, schools, and hundreds of parents. Her international bestselling book Bounce is the ultimate
guide to helping children build resilience and thrive in all areas of life. Kate’s mission is to help parents bring out the best in their kids to create the leaders of our future.

Am I An Alcoholic? W/Gill Tietz of Sober Powered Jul 19, 2022

Show notes

Alcohol is everywhere - social events, mommy wine culture, a drink with dinner. So how many drinks is too many? Do I have a problem?
Gillian Tietz is the host of the Sober Powered podcast and recently left her career as a biochemist to become a full time podcaster. When she quit drinking in 2019, she dedicated herself to learning about alcohol's influence on the brain and how it can cause addiction. She used that knowledge to free herself from the shame she had about being unable to control her drinking. Today, she educates and empowers others to assess their relationship with alcohol, and provides coaching and support to podcasters looking to grow their show.
