diagnoses

In this episode, I explore one of the most nuanced topics in parenting - the use of labels for children. As an OT and mom to a sensory sensitive child, I've seen firsthand both the pros and cons that labels can bring. I discuss my own journey in understanding different perspectives on labels and how my views have evolved. Listeners will gain insight into why labels are so meaningful to some, yet controversial to others. I also share strategies for effective advocacy and community-building regardless of stance on labels. My goal is to start respectful conversations that consider multiple truths on this issue. Ultimately, we must challenge stigma at its root by promoting education over assumptions.

Is he a jerk, or is he bipolar? Psychological diagnoses prove psychology isn't a science, but they can sure come in handy at times.

This episode is an update from my blog and also another chapter from my book (Insider's Guide to Parenting: How to Solve Messy Problems and Build a Great Family). I review all the different types of testing and evaluation and drill down into how to set up psychological testing for your college student if you or a healthcare provider has recommended it. We'll also cover what to expect and how to use the results from testing.

Kat and Moose explore feeling words in a multiple choice exercise and ponder an embodied alien invasion. Kat has ordered an accessory for potential comfort and Moose lands on multiple diagnoses for her issues. A man sets a world record by traveling in a pumpkin and we revisit our perspective on our bodies. Here's a good resource group if you're interested in befriending your body. Moose reflects on culture, culpability, church and clarity and Kat questions if we are extraterrestrials. Call or text us at 1-866-528-6665 and tell us what you think.

Kat and Producer Sara are drink twins, and help clarify their usage of pineapples. Kat is curious about quiet-quitting and Moose is in grad school gathering lots of letters behind her name. Moose employs Speechify and is looking for a diagnosis. We confuse Scriptures about gathering together, and lament our Bible comprehension issues. This leads to a discussion about how we learn and Moose has a talk with her legs, offering a revelation about full-body reconciliation and drops sound wisdom from her diary. Late summer, autumn themes and a word from the web lead us into May Sartan words.

Dr. Lauren Cook is a therapist, keynote speaker, career coach, and author who specializes in supporting people with their life transitions and the corresponding anxiety that often comes along with this. She is the creator of the Find Your Why, Know Your Way course, which helps millennials make efficient and effective life decisions with confidence. She is also an author of two books: Name Your Story: How to Talk Openly About Mental Health and The Sunny Side Up: Celebrating Happiness.  

In this episode, we discuss what phobias are and the impact they have. Phobias are fears that debilitate your life in such a way that you will try to get out of it at all costs, even if it has a negative outcome for you. This can be the phobia of public speaking, heights, needles, etc. For Dr. Cook, this phobia is emetophobia— the extreme fear of vomiting, seeing vomit or watching other people vomit. This causes her to face internal suffering and impacts the decisions she makes. While someone would be excited to go to a bachelorette party or 21st birthday party, Lauren would dread it due to a high chance of vomit. 

Dr. Cook also talks about Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and hopes to break the stigma around it. OCD is more than just a fear of germs or a keen eye for organization, like most may think. It is excessive thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviors (compulsions) about anything the brain has internalized as bad or taboo. 

She encourages being who you are, showing up for your life wholeheartedly, and provides resources to do so!: “My tagline is helping people live what they believe and love who they are. I'm all about helping people identify their values and live out those values with intention. I'm about embracing the discomfort and challenging ourselves to live meaningful, purposeful lives.” - Dr. Lauren Cook.

For this season finale, Erica and Steph talk about mental health. They discuss disorders, trauma, diagnoses, and struggles that they have experienced thus far. They explore the effects that Covid-19 and therapy have had on their mental health, and how their personal journeys have affected their friendship. They also share tips on how to maintain a healthy mindset and how to find support when needed.

Alexi Bracey's cancer diagnosis 20 years ago saved her life by inspiring her to become educated in all aspects of good health from nutrition, a healthy environment, and emotions. With her knowledge and experience as a health coach, consultant, and mentor, and yet another life-changing experience, Alexi now focuses on maximizing a healthy brain to ward off the risks of dementia in midlife and beyond. 

Johann Ilgenfritz was given 6 -12 months to live when cancer exploded in his body. But Johann, a photographic journalist aged just 46, knew that there were other ways to conceptualize his situation. Rather than thinking "about" his plight, he decided to think "in" his plight -- questioning conventional views and the assumptions that often go with the diagnosis of cancer, or any disease. This lead him on a search for his own solution, which came through plant-based nutrition. Within three years Johann was cancer free and determined to help others with health issues. This led to him founding UKHealthRadio which now offers more than 30 experts providing varied perspectives about health.
