Parenting…Who? Podcast

Have you struggled with an unpleasant experience with pleasure and/or your sexuality?

Today my conversation with Tracy Montgomery, a Certified Sexological Bodyworker and somatic sex educator helps to normalize why pleasure is important in your life. How uncomfortable is not unsafe and what this means including the notion that we can trust ourselves to know when something is right. Tracy talks about getting turned onto life and how we can change the world when we feel good about ourselves.

We also talk about being mindful, present and in the moment and how something like shame disconnects us from being present in our own body. Shame is pleasure interrupted in our bodies – when we avoid the bad stuff we can’t feel the good.

Dr. Liz Bonet has her own successful podcast series known as Hypnotize Me with over 50,000 downloads! She discusses with me today what led her towards hypnotherapy work through her own experience with an urge that came up in her parenting style that contradicted who she wanted to be as a parent.

Dr. Bonet intuitively sought out support in this area and was able to process things to the point this subconscious urge become much less afterwards. This is the goal of hypnotherapy ~ retrieving a different answer and aligning subconscious with conscious. She speaks about the processes of doing hypnotherapy and core healing work and why this is important to your role as a parent in your child's life. Learn how the work of core healing hypnosis can help you heal your own (old) wounds.

Evelyn is a Registered Social Worker with a Master in Social Work and a Master of Arts in International Development Studies. She shares how her passion for helping people turned into a job working in a men's homeless shelter. Together we discuss the importance of self in a helping relationship, working with a vulnerable population requires this! A homeless men's shelter is one place where self-loathe is ever present. Evelyn discusses how she works with helping men identify the self-hate they carry with them and how aligning negative behaviours with personal values; personal values that may first need to be discovered. She also discusses the importance of language and how we miss the opportunity to connect with someone through making assumptions and using language that has different meanings for both people. Discussing the impact of family of origin and why understanding, not blaming, family of origin plays a role towards recovery.

My guest today is once again Rick Kelly. This is the second of a 4 part series. Rick discusses shame and how what happens to our child/youth also happens to us as their parents. How we can't protect our kids in all circumstances - how we must check in with ourselves and help them learn how to be in the driver's seat of their life!

What I have realized is the interviews and connections with my guests are so rich with information that we can not possibly do just one episode. Rick is no exception! Rick is a fellow colleague and Child and Youth Care Practitioner. He has over 40 years working as a child and youth worker and prides himself on thinking outside the box using innovation, creativity, prevention, health promotion, advocacy and systems change. In our time in this first episode Risk provides some insight into how he accidentally fell into the world of Restorative Practice and how this newfound knowledge opened many doors, paradigms and ways of looking at things and he hasn't turned back since. To learn more about Restorative Practice and within the context of parenting your child I guarantee you won't look back. Restorative Practice is an extremely powerful practice that can change lives, build and connect communities and dare I say truly make a difference in a world that is open and welcomes this practice.

This is episode three of our series, together with my colleague Sarah Terwilligar, we continue to discuss elements of our new virtual eating disorder caregiver coaching group program.

In this episode we are going to discuss Understanding the Eating Disorder, helping caregivers with understanding, from a practical lens, what it is like to not just have an eating disorder but also understanding the eating disorder voice, symptoms and the reason empathy is so important.

Evanye shares how she came to about her work in 'The Self Love Center', a space she created for people pleasers, worriers, over-thinkers and people tired of doing the same old things in their life. For people who describe themselves as unhappy and just want to be free from pain, hurt and fear.

Are 'core wounds' running the show for you? Evanye speaks about how having friction in your life is necessary to grow and through this process she asks people 'What stories are you telling yourself?" and how not to get lost in their stories which ultimately can become a big part of their identity and how to get out of this space; feel more peace and accept where you are. Loving yourself is part of your story and Evanye helps you to learn where to look to find this!

This is episode two of a series with my colleague Sarah Terwilligar, we discuss aspects of our new virtual eating disorder caregiver coaching group program.

In this episode Sarah is sharing the spectrum/continuum of disordered eating where it starts and how it progresses. There is no one size fits all presentation with an eating disorder, it looks differently for everyone. Eating disorder sub-types are introduced and explained and how thinking ‘this is just a phase’ is unhealthy and why. We spoke about how one does not need to have a formal diagnosis and how a negative body image could exist without disordered eating. Asking, are these issues disrupting your life? Are you pre-occupied with your size and shape?

This is two of a series of episodes on the topic of eating disorders and disordered eating, stay tuned for more!
