EP109. Defense Mechanisms 101 Jul 22, 2021

Show notes

EP109. Defense mechanisms help protect us from anxiety/stressor/uncomfortable feelings. They are typically unconscious (i.e., we don't know why we're doing it in the moment). We all use defense mechanisms to some extent. Some are high-functioning (i.e., humour) and some are low-functioning (i.e., being passive aggressive). In this episode Renee breaks down the most commonly used defense mechanisms and gives examples of when they would be used. You will most definitely start noticing when you or others use defense mechanisms after this episode!

EP108. Reclaiming her Family's History from Violent Erasure with We Are Bridges Author, Cassandra Lane Jul 20, 2021

Show notes

EP108. Cassandra Lane is the author of We Are Bridges, a family memoir that reimagines the life of her great-grandparents Mary and Burt Bridges. In 1904 Burt was racially murdered by white men in Mississippi. Cassandra tells us why it's so important to dive into our own family history and have open conversations with grandparents and great-grandparents. Many families consider themselves close but avoid the hard conversations about their history and tragic events that may have occurred. You are going to want to call some family members after this one!

EP107. The Modern Day "Village" Jul 15, 2021

Show notes

EP107. We've all heard the proverb "it takes a village to raise a child." Back in the day this made sense. Extended families lived near-by and neighbours were considered family. Today, many of us live far away from our family. We don't have close relationships with our neighbours. For the most part, we are raising our children on our own. In this episode, Renee breaks down what a modern day "village" looks like and why you should be considering teachers, nannies, trainers, and the UberEats guy, members of your village.

EP101. Traveling Alone With A Toddler, with Renee's Mom Jun 24, 2021

Show notes

EP101. In a spur of the moment decision, Renee packed up the car and headed north with Milo... alone. It didn't seem like a big deal at the time but, after reading messages from her community on Instagram, she realized that it is quite an accomplishment to travel alone with kids. It is unpredictable which makes it nervewracking. Will they throw tantrums in the car? Will they sleep in a strange environment? How will they behave being totally out of their normal routine? Renee shares her experience in this episode and shares some tips for traveling with kids! Renee's Mom tells her story about traveling from Canada to New Caledonia with her 6-month old baby and elderly grandfather. Don't miss that!
