  • FCV016 Physical and Emotional Checkups, Dr. O, TheTeenDoc
    In med school Dr. O (AKA TheTeenDoc) was told "You can be the brightest physician but if you can't get the patient to tell you anything then really, all your training is useless." That hit a chord. But then she realized that patients wouldn't talk to you if you weren't a warm enough person for them to open up to. Annie speaks with Dr. O about how she uses empathy and active listening to enhance the connection with her teen patients and how parents can do the same.
    About Dr. O (TheTeenDoc)
    Dr. Adekemi Oguntala, MD, usually just called Dr. O, received her medical training at Drexel University, her pediatric training at Saint Christopher's Hospital for Children, and her adolescent medicine training at Stanford University School of Medicine. She currently heads Teen Clinic in South San Francisco. There she sees teens who have issues with weight, substance use and abuse, sexual orientation and gender identification, family planning and reproductive health concerns, depression, and victims of sexual, physical or verbal violence.
    In addition to being a teen doctor, Dr, O is the author of "Small Changes BIG impact: with your teen" and "Are You Serious, It's Just sex? The 17 Most Frequently Asked Questions By Parents of Teens". Learn more at http://TheTeenDoc.com

  • FCV015 Imagination Rocks, Alice Lin
    There is no "season" for creativity... it should flourish year round in every school and home. Unfortunately it doesn't, in part because we adults have other agendas for the kids we teach and nurture. Annie talks with Alice Lin, Director of Community Engagement for Imagination Foundation about the phenomenal success of the short film, Caine's Arcade, and why creativity is one of the most critical skills of the future.
    About the Imagination Foundation
    The Imagination Foundation's mission is to find, foster, and fund creativity and entrepreneurship in children around the world to raise a new generation of innovators and problem solvers who have the tools they need to build the world they imagine.
    Imagination Foundation was born out of the overwhelming global success of the short film, Caine's Arcade. The film launched a movement to celebrate the natural creative talents of every child, and the Imagination Foundation was created to grow and sustain this movement. Through their annual Global Cardboard Challenge kids all over the world are invited to build something amazing out of cardboard, recycled materials and imagination. Then, on Saturday, October 11, 2014, communities will come together and play. Learn more at http://ImaginationFoundation.is, http://CainesArcade.com, and http://CardboardChallenge.com

  • FCV013 Carry On, Warrior, Glennon Doyle Melton
    According to Glennon Doyle Melton, "Life's about how you use what you got." Because honesty, and "truth-telling" is her mission, she has no problem revealing how, for twenty years, she was lost to "food and booze and bad love and drugs." Annie and Glennon laugh a lot as they chat about her past addictions, her strategy for marriage and parenting ("Keep showing up") and the best way for moms to help their daughters let go of the need to be "perfect."
    About Glennon Doyle Melton

She has taken that truth-telling to Momastery.com, the online community she founded. There, through her writing, she connects with hundreds of thousands of women around the world. Glennon is also the New York Times best selling author of Carry On, Warrior: The power of embracing your beautiful, messy life. Learn more at http://Momastery.com
