Talking About the No-No's

What is our cultures ideal body image?

“Pay attention to your patterns. The ways you learned to survive may not be the ways you want to continue to live. Heal and shift.” Dr. Thema Bryant-Davis

It's been a while since we've talked. We aren't done talking about the no no's be any means. Let's jump in to chat about Dolly Parton, Ted Lasso, ER, a no no book club and more!

We talk with Whitney about grieving. Grief is more than just losing a person. Listen in as we discuss the layers of grief. Grieving during COVID-19 quarantine is a whole different beast. 

"Grief is the death of something" David Kessler

Kathryn and Chelsea continue their COVID chronicles. What a wild time we are living in. Hear about Kathryn's best moments this year and what books Chelsea is reading now. What has the last few months been like for us? What have they been like for you? Connect with us @talkingaboutthenonos !

We are so thankful to have been able to talk with Rebekah from Methodist Children’s Home  about child abuse awareness and families in crisis. There’s a lot of help and support available. COVID-19 has revealed fractures in many families. Listen to tips on finding support with whatever topic your family is challenged with to what supporting suspected abuse looks like. Protect children. Listen and share this episode!

On this episode we discuss grief with Whitney. "Grief is like the ocean; it comes in waves, ebbing and flowing. Sometimes the water is calm, and sometimes it's overwhelming. All we can do is learn to swim." -Vickie Harrison

Join our hopeful conversation with Lauren as she tells us about her experience living with anxiety disorder and the insight she has learned on her journey. What about medication? What about medication and THE CHURCH? ... she shares about the no-nos of anxiety and gives so much hope and support to others. COVID-19 has definitely increased anxiety for so many right now. Listen to the hope, the help and how to better support those around you.

"You”ll never get better until you stop trying to get better.” Paul David

Episode 19 and sheltering in place strong. We talk more about COVID-19, sheltering in place with young kids and what we're up to during this time. It's a crazy time for sure and Kathryn's "just trying to live!"

On this episode we speak with Hollie about infertility. Hear her talk about the hurt and loss, the hope on the other side and how "dirt and therapy" saved her life. We were honored that she shared about such a difficult subject and it's our hope this reaches others needing support and gives more information to supporters. We all need each other. 

April 19-25 is national infertility awareness week. Listen in, reach out.

"Your trauma is valid.

Even if other people have experienced “worse.”

Even if someone else who went through the same experience doesn’t feel debilitated by it.

Even if it “could have been avoided.”

Even if it happened a long time ago.

Even if no one knows.

Your trauma is real and valid and you deserve a space to talk about it.

It isn’t desperate or pathetic or attention-seeking.

It’s self-care.

It’s inconceivably brave.

And regardless of the magnitude of your struggle, you’re allowed to take care of yourself by processing and unloading some of the pain you carry.

Your pain matters.

Your experience matters.

And your healing matters.

Nothing and no one can take that away." - Daniell Koepke

Life has majorly shifted for most of us right now. Kathryn and Chelsea talk about what this week has been like, offer a fun #ronameme contest and chat about whats been helpful and encouraging in the midst of such major shifts due to COVID-19. This is hard stuff you guys and we're all in it together.

There's laughs, there's fun, there's the raw emotion, there's hopeful resources. Let's be friends and get as close as we can while staying at home together.
