Cathy's Chuckle Club

This week, we meet Cathy, who runs a worm composting business in Canada, shares her journey from selling worms for indoor composting to discovering laughter yoga in 2012, which she began practicing seriously during the 2020 pandemic. She notes that laughter yoga, which involves laughing as a form of cardiovascular exercise, has significantly changed her life and is now focused on promoting mental health awareness globally.
Cathy and Reah briefly discuss the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on society, including its effects on social interactions, work, and personal development. While some positive outcomes emerged, such as increased creativity and financial benefits for some, the overall societal impact was significant and multifaceted.
Cathy and Reah discuss the origins of villainous behavior, agreeing that it is not inherent but develops over time, often due to unaddressed trauma and lack of understanding of accountability. Reah shares her personal experience of generational trauma, highlighting how healing and positive change typically begin in the third or fourth generation. They note that societal awareness of mental health issues, particularly since COVID-19, has helped in addressing these issues, but there is still a need for better education and support in dealing with trauma.
Further, they discuss the increasing importance of mental health awareness across generations, noting that while age can influence learning, it's becoming more acceptable for people of all ages to continue growing and learning. They explore the potential of laughter yoga as a tool for promoting peace and reducing conflict, while Cathy shared her interest in worm composting as a solution for reducing landfill waste and improving soil nutrition.

Mom Brain Cross-over

In this cross-over episode, Ingrid and I talk respect for time, open conversation, setting examples, and more parenting reflection.
Reah discusses her approach to managing her business and personal life, emphasizing the use of calendars and whiteboards to stay organized. She notes that as her children grew older, she became more reliant on structured planning to handle the various responsibilities. 
Reah and Ingrid discuss how managing children's schedules becomes more organized as they grow older. Ingrid explains that natural rhythms are often disrupted by structured appointments and school schedules, suggesting that if children didn't have to attend school, they would follow more natural sleep and activity patterns. They agree that parents learn to handle multiple responsibilities more effectively over time, though Ingrid acknowledged that mothers typically bear the primary responsibility for childcare globally. They additionally discuss the challenges of transitioning from being a sole caretaker to sharing responsibilities in a cohabiting household. Reah shares her experience of adjusting to her husband taking on more parental responsibilities after years of being the primary caretaker as a single mother. Ingrid drew parallels to the concept of mastering and surrendering in the ancient runic wisdom system, comparing it to learning to ride a horse. They also emphasize the importance of loving and supporting children while acknowledging that parenting involves balancing safety, responsibility, and allowing children to develop as individuals as well as the challenges of teaching children responsibility, particularly regarding bringing their own jackets. They agree that different children have different maturity levels, making it difficult to set a specific age for when children should be accountable for their choices. Reah shares her approach of keeping extra items in her car trunk for emergencies and gradually transitioning children to responsibility as they demonstrate the ability to manage these tasks independently.
Reah shares her experience managing different age groups in her family, particularly noting the challenge of adjusting support levels as children transition from toddlerhood to school age. She describes an incident where she initially assumed her child was being uncooperative with math homework, but later realized the child needed more detailed explanation after walking him through the problem. Ingrid acknowledges the balance parents face between helping children and ensuring they develop independence, noting that even manipulative behavior can sometimes stem from a desire for more parental attention.
The pair also discusses the evolution of parenting styles and communication with adult children. Reah shares how her approach to conversations with her teenage daughters has changed over time, emphasizing the importance of respectful dialogue and distinguishing between respectful banter and defensive talking back. They discuss how power dynamics shift as children grow into adulthood, allowing for more equal and friendly relationships. Reah also reflects on how these insights have influenced her communication with her own mother, noting the importance of practicing respectful behavior she teaches her children.

Healthy Mouth, Healthy Heart (with Dr. Feinberg)

In this episode, Reah interviews Dr. Edward Feinberg, a dentist with 70 years of documented experience in full mouth reconstruction and crown and bridge dentistry, who learned from his father, a pioneer in the field. Dr. Feinberg emphasizes the importance of understanding the correlation between oral health and heart health, which he discovered later in life. He discusses his mission to educate others about dental choices and the techniques he learned from his father, which are not commonly taught in dental schools today.
Edward and Reah discusses the importance of dental care and the potential risks associated with cosmetic appearances over functionality. The pair highlight the stigma surrounding oral health issues and the need for better access to dental care, especially for those without insurance and emphasized that good oral hygiene does not guarantee immunity to dental problems and that such issues can arise due to various factors beyond personal care.
Dr. Feinberg explains the importance of dental care, focusing on how tartar and plaque build-up can lead to gum inflammation and bone loss, which is a common cause of tooth loss. He emphasizes the role of regular X-rays in monitoring bone health and the need for preventive measures like regular cleanings. Dr. Feinberg also emphasizes how poor tooth architecture can lead to issues like food impaction and abnormal tooth wear, which crown and bridge procedures can help address and expresses satisfaction from seeing long-term success of his dental work, even in patients with underlying health conditions. Reah inquires about the impact of Edward's work, particularly that of him and his father, on the dental industry, to which Edward responds by highlighting the importance of research and preventive practices in improving dental health outcomes.
Dr. Feinberg and Reah discuss the current state of dental technology and practices, particularly the overuse of implants and the decline in traditional crown and bridge skills among younger practitioners. Dr. Feinberg emphasizes the importance of using proven techniques, such as the mason jar cover model for crown preparation, which he attributed to his father and grandfather's methods from the early 20th century, noting that this approach results in better seal and longevity of restorations, contrasting with the current butt joint restorations that he believes are inadequate. He further discusses his approach to dentistry, emphasizing the importance of engineering principles and the need to replace dentistry when necessary, due to changes over time. He further explains his aim to create an ideal architecture for teeth, gums, and bone by bringing forces close to the supporting structures, which is not commonly achieved by other dentists. Dr. Edward Feinberg's goal is to promote health by ending periodontal bone loss and making it easier for patients to maintain clean dentistry.

Introducing Dr. Kevin Smith

Dr. Kevin Smith, a board-certified chiropractor and functional medicine practitioner from Pittsburgh, joins us to discuss his dual approach to patient care, combining traditional chiropractic techniques for musculoskeletal issues with functional medicine for metabolic and systemic problems. He explains that while many people associate chiropractors with back pain, their primary focus is on ensuring the nervous system's health by relieving pressure on spinal nerves. His postdoctoral training in functional medicine allows him to address a wide range of health issues, including gut problems, thyroid disorders, and diabetes, beyond the traditional scope of chiropractic care.
Dr. Kevin discussed his 25-year career in natural health and his focus on educating people about alternative treatments beyond drug therapy, noting that the United States and New Zealand are the only countries where TV drug ads are allowed. He additionally explains the difference between allopathic healthcare, which focuses on treating symptoms with chemicals, and functional medicine, which seeks to understand and address root causes of health issues. Dr. Kevin emphasizes that while medication has its place, people are often over-medicated and should explore various healing methods, including mental health, gut health, and natural treatments. For any health issue, it's best to start with the least invasive, non-toxic treatments first, such as diet changes or physical therapy, before considering more invasive options like surgery.
Dr. Kevin and Reah discussed the dangers of over-reliance on medication and the importance of exploring non-invasive measures for health issues while emphasizing that many over-the-counter drugs can be harmful and highlighted the need to consider factors like diet, lifestyle, and environmental triggers. Reah shares her experience of raising teenagers to approach health issues holistically rather than immediately resorting to medication. They also touched on the significance of considering dietary and environmental factors in health management.
Dr. Kevin further shares his experience about how his mother was advised to use margarine instead of butter, despite his warnings about its health risks. He explains that margarine is linked to various cancers and is nearly plastic in composition, while butter is healthier and how the food industry has historically added unhealthy ingredients to products, and expresses his belief that both the food and pharmaceutical industries intentionally harm consumers. While the food industry has changed over the years, there seems to be an increase in food allergies and sensitivities not due to exaggeration but rather due to intentional modifications in food production for economic reasons. Dr. Kevin emphasizes avoiding processed foods with trans fats, high fructose corn syrup, and unnecessary additives, advising Reah to focus on whole, unprocessed foods.

Evolutionary Men with Jason Lange

In today's episode, we meet Jason Lang; a men's embodiment coach who focuses on supporting men in relationships, career, and health, emphasizing the importance of connection and challenging societal expectations for men to be tough and self-reliant. Jason and Reah discuss societal expectations around men's emotional expression, noting that men are often expected to suppress their feelings while women are expected to show a range of emotions.  Jason and Reah highlight the need to address these expectations for men as parents, particularly in teaching emotional intelligence to children, and noted a positive shift in societal conversations about men expressing emotions. They additionally touch on the importance of breaking generational cycles and fostering open discussions about mental health and emotional expression for men.
Jason and Reah discuss the impact of COVID-19 on mental health, particularly for men, highlighting increased social isolation and challenges in connecting with others and explore how traditional masculinity norms, such as the expectation of invulnerability and suppression of emotions, contribute to lifelong struggles for many boys and men. Jason emphasizes importance of teaching emotional expression and attunement from a young age, contrasting the different parenting approaches often given to boys and girls while focusing on the educational system's role in perpetuating these issues, noting research on the growing gap in educational outcomes between boys and girls, with suggestions like holding boys back a year to address the disparities.
Jason discusses how boys mature emotionally slower and benefit from early physical activity and play, which helps with socialization and self-regulation. He emphasizes the importance of teaching children, especially boys, to recognize and articulate their emotions, as a lack of emotional awareness can lead to negative coping mechanisms like substance abuse or withdrawal. Reah shares her experience with her adopted son, who at 10 years old, was able to acknowledge and express his anger, which led to improved behavior and emotional regulation. Both agreed that understanding and addressing emotions early can lead to better outcomes for children.
Jason and Reah further discuss the societal changes in how emotions are perceived in men, particularly the concept of the "man box" which restricts traditional male emotions to only anger as well as how boys and men are taught to suppress emotions like grief, fear, and shame, and how this can lead to unhealthy expressions of anger. Jason shares an example from his personal experience of creating a safe space for his son to express anger, which revealed underlying emotions of grief and they conclude by discussing the importance of teaching children healthy ways to express anger and other emotions.
Jason emphasizes the importance of men's connection and emotional expression, highlighting how men's groups can provide support and accelerate personal growth. He explains the benefits of sharing vulnerabilities and receiving feedback in a safe environment, emphasizing how this can lead to leadership and purpose; sharing insights from his podcast, "Evolutionary Men," which focuses on helping men achieve balance between power and sensitivity.

Parental Coaching with Tina (Part 1)

In today's episode, Tina and Reah discuss their shared passion for parenting and family relationships, with Tina sharing her journey from a challenging childhood to becoming a parent coach who has trained over 850 coaches worldwide. They explore the concept of children's challenging behavior as a physiological need to be seen, rather than a choice, and discussed Reah's experience with her adopted 10-year-old son, who struggles with stealing and attention-seeking behaviors. Tina offered insights on how to approach Reah's son's behavior through understanding his need to be seen and validated, rather than viewing it as moral or intentional.
Tina shares her personal experience of connecting with her deceased father through a medium, which confirmed his abusive behavior towards her mother. She explains how dissociation can protect children from facing the reality of their parents' inability to care for them due to trauma. Tina recommends using "ICU letters" as a powerful tool for healing! When composing these letters, it is important to include compassion for the child(ren)'s birth/absent parent(s) and healing for the child(ren) in the letter. They discuss the importance of providing positive attention to help the child(ren)'s behavior improve and emphasized the power of written communication in building intimacy and understanding between parent and child.
