That's Not Proper!

On this week's episode Punam Saxena who has been a special education teacher,  spent many years as a perennial volunteer in all of her children's schools, has  a degree in psychology and over 20 years of advocacy experience, is the host of the podcast EDU ME and most recently has, according to her, “ gone from couch potato to marathon runner"Punam and I discuss how she began as a Special Education teacher and then when her children were born she decided to volunteer in their school systems.  She then saw the extreme need for a relationship and communication that needed to be established between the school system and the parents in order to better educate children. Along her journey she began to realize as her children grew older that her health could become a serious issue and literally went from "couch potato" drinking several cokes in one sitting, to a health conscious marathon runner.  She shares with me the confidence she found in running and sees how this confidence could also empower other women along their journey as mom, wives, partners and/or parents.The Edu-Me on Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/theedume/ The Edu-Me Website: https://www.edu-me.net/ The Edu-Me Podcast:  https://www.edu-me.net/episodes-1 That's Not Proper can be found on all podcast platforms!! Please Subscribe, Share and Review! Looking to be a guest or have a great topic you'd love to hear me cover? Click the link below and fill out the form or forward it to someone you know who would be an amazing guest!https://www.thatsnotproper.com/be-on-the-podcastThat's Not Proper Website:https://www.thatsnotproper.comThat's Not Proper Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thatsnotproper/That's Not Proper Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/thatsnotproper I’d love to connect with you here and on Instagram and Facebook!

Being fluid is not something I would have ever considered several years ago. Even the word itself, beyond referring to a liquid was, essentially foreign to me.  I believe that I needed to be finite. That what I believed and who I was shouldn't change, that if I allowed the flow of change and fluidity in myself it meant I was a fraud, a hypocrite or a liar.  Once I began to understand what being fluid meant,  even in the painful transition, was freedom.  Like a plot twist in a movie, where it grabs you and you hang on to see the outcome, even when it's terrifying, the joy and the release keeps you reeled in.That's Not Proper can be found on all podcast platforms!! Please Subscribe, Share and Review! Looking to be a guest or have a great topic you'd love to hear me cover? Click the link below and fill out the form or forward it to someone you know who would be an amazing guest!https://www.thatsnotproper.com/be-on-the-podcast I’d love to connect with you here and on Instagram and Facebook!

On this week's episode I'm sharing our family's experience with Covid-19.  Having a very large family means that for things like illnesses and colds you may have to be more vigilant than others may realize.  Add to that two children who have autoimmune diseases and and elderly person, it can feel like a recipe for disaster.  My daughter was directly exposed to Covid-19, which in turn meant, we were all possibly infected.  It was terrifying.  Listen to this weeks episode and hear the mental and emotional struggle, as well as the lessons I learned and am still learning from it all.That's Not Proper can be found on all podcast platforms!!  Please Subscribe, Share and Review! Looking to be a guest or have a great topic you'd love to hear me cover? Click the link below and fill out the form or forward it to someone you know who would be an amazing guest!https://www.thatsnotproper.com/be-on-the-podcastThat's Not Proper Website:https://www.thatsnotproper.comThat's Not Proper Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thatsnotproper/That's Not Proper Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/thatsnotproper

I’ve become super obsessed with the phrase “toxic positivity”. On this week’s episode I’m sharing what it is, what it isn’t, why it is so incredibly damaging and what we can do to recognize it and stop. You ever look into buying a car? So, you find what car you want, you buy it and then all of the sudden it seems like that car is all over the roads? You had never noticed the car before, but now you see it everywhere. One of my daughter’s had an older, little, silver Honda CRV and it was a great little car, loved that little car. Never before had I ever noticed an older, little, silver Honda CRV on the road. To this day, I see a couple every time I have to drive. Even just in town. Were they always there and I just never noticed? Did everyone run out and buy an older, little, silver Honda CRV? That’s what coming to an understanding of toxic positivity has become like for me recently. I see it everywhere. Now I’m on the hunt for it everywhere. Was it always there, or did it just all of the sudden appear, like the CRV? Obviously, it’s always been there. It’s a culture. It’s deeply embedded in everything. Don’t believe me? Start looking, pay attention, check yourself…I can promise, if you didn’t notice it before, you will now. That's Not Proper can be found on all podcast platforms!!  Please Subscribe, Share and Review! Looking to be a guest or have a great topic you'd love to hear me cover? Click the link below and fill out the form or forward it to someone you know who would be an amazing guest!https://www.thatsnotproper.com/be-on-the-podcastThat's Not Proper Website:https://www.thatsnotproper.comThat's Not Proper Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/thatsnotproper/That's Not Proper Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/thatsnotproper
