Welcome to the She Has the Audacity Podcast. This week I had the chance to hang out with the amazing Melissa Oziel. Melissa is a speech-language pathologist and works in the space of helping kids learn executive functioning skills.

After working for low-income communities in the Bronx, New York, Melissa moved to Ontario and launched her business, The Speech and Language Associates of Toronto. We often get her role confused with speech therapy. However, Melissa really takes the time to teach kids with ADHD the proper tools in order to communicate and express themselves properly. She also teaches the parents of kids with ADHD the proper tools in order to help their kids progress in their life.

Our conversation was really interesting because there is a lot we don't know as a population about ADHD and especially how it shows up in girls and women.

We chatted about:

The importance of coaching parents and kids of ADHD to ensure success The truth about ADHD Behaviours

How to teach executive functioning skills

The lack of knowledge on ADHD in women and girls

Your life completely changing after having kids is inevitable. However, there are ways to set yourself up for the best possible outcomes.

As a physiotherapist, a pregnancy and Postpartum fitness coach, a registered physiotherapist, and a mom of 2, Surabhi Veitch has gone through it all. From her world completely changing after having children to not knowing how to navigate symptoms or movements in her new body. Surabhi has learned a lot throughout the years which helped her in creating her 8-week Postpartum Return to Exercise Program (PREP), helping moms discover strength and confidence in their postpartum bodies, and empowering them to focus on self-care, self-kindness, and prioritize themselves without guilt.

In today's episode we chatted about:

- The importance of identifying how you want to be in your roles

• Accepting that adjustments will be made once you have kids
• The importance of challenging the socialization of kids as parents
• The importance of having support throughout the fitness journey postpartum
• The need to know that you are not alone, and don't need to struggle in solitude

Welcome to the She Has The Audacity podcast. I am your host, Chana Ross.

Today's episode I am joined by Joy Badler who is the chief encourager of vulnerable children, an educator and mindfulness coach, and who is on a mission to help everyone jump with joy.

Joy's story began when she and her family immigrated to Canada from South Africa. Once she arrived, she realized that her son had learning disabilities. After realizing that she would be alone on this journey of getting help for her son, she decided to take matters into her own hands. Joy's son's disabilities ended up being a blessing in disguise because it taught her exactly what she needed in order to deliver support to vulnerable children. She created a 6 week program to take children from where they are to a place where they unconditionally love themselves.

This episode is a must listen as we really went deep and talked about Joy's personal mental health journey which has shaped the way she's able to now teach others to find the joys in their own lives.

We chat about:

• Her experiences raising a child with disabilities
• The importance of incorporating mindfulness in our children's education
• The importance on having a morning and evening routine
• The importance of scheduling your tasks
• and much more!
