That's Not Proper!

In Part 3 of this series on the podcast I am focusing a bit more on some suggestions for Junior High and High School ages. Again focusing on educating your child on “life skills”, common things we, as parents, do regularly but our children don’t but will have to one day. These are just a few suggestions of ideas to teach and discuss with your children that aren’t regularly or ever taught or discussed in traditional school environments. *In this episode I will be discussing the necessity of having open conversations regarding sex and consent with your children. *Please Subscribe and Review on your favorite podcast platform!Check out the That's Not Proper!

In Part 2 of "Homeschool Was NOT On My Agenda" I will be suggesting more specific ways to incorporate education, community and expression with your children. In this episode I focus more specifically on ages up to around 12 years, just prior to Junior and High School.  These are just a few suggestions of ideas as well as some great websites that can be used for your children and family.  Please remember to Subscribe and Review That's Not Proper! on whichever podcast platform you listen on.  In addition please subscribe to the That's Not Proper! newsletter found on my website at www.thatsnotproper.com  Khan Academyhttps://www.khanacademy.org/All In One Homeschool (also known as Easy Peasy)https://allinonehomeschool.com/All In One High Schoolhttps://allinonehighschool.com/Explore Educationhttps://explore.org/educationExplore LiveCamshttps://explore.org/livecams

In this episode I will be discussing two very simple things to attempt while we are all now thrust into "homeschooling" our children.  I have been a homeschool parent now for nearing 25 years and completely understand the stress that it conducts.  In this episode I will share ideas for families and  two very general ideas for all ages to encourage expression of feelings and emotions as well as encourage continuing education.   Sex Positive FamiliesSex Positive Families The Podcast Birds and Bees and KidsJust Say This Podcast

In today's episode I'm sitting down with "Stu".  My partner of over 25 years, father of three daughters and four sons and self proclaimed feminist.We start with some ice breakers and quite a long winded story (Stu is known for that) then down to the nitty gritty.We had recently watched a few Ted Talks, one with Deepa Narayan titled "Seven Beliefs That Can Silence Women" and another with Elizabeth Nyamayaro titled "An Invitation To Men Who Want a Better World for Women"Together Stu and I break down the topics and discuss the affects that gender inequality, feminism and the dehumanization of women and girls has affected society and what needs to be recognized and done in order to defeat it. Rochelle Ball of Ball Training Solutions can be by phone at 925-480-7662 or by email at [email protected]

March is Women in History Month and March 8th is International Women’s Day. For this episode I chose to acknowledge a few women who shook up society when they stood their ground for who they are, despite the huge obstacles, strength and courage it would take. This month allows us to acknowledge the importance of marginalized groups like women, transgender women and non-binary people.  These groups are some of the most ignored and erased from history often due to men taking the credit for their achievements, struggles, discoveries, inventions and advances in society and culture. These three women: Lucy “Hicks” Anderson, Lili Elbe and Christine Jorgensen made huge strides for other women and people just like them towards gender equality for the LGBTQ community. Where’d I get this info? I am thankful for the facts, theories, quotes and stories I was able to find for this episode.  Check out these articles, photos, audio and video clips below that all aided in the information of this podcast:  Christine Jorgensen https://www.bbc.com/news/magazine-20544095https://www.nbcnews.com/feature/nbc-out/pride50-christine-jorgensen-world-s-first-trans-celebrity-n1006131http://outhistory.org/exhibits/show/tgi-bios/christine-jorgensenhttps://allthatsinteresting.com/christine-jorgensenhttps://mashable.com/2015/04/27/christine-jorgensen/http://sfbaytimes.com/transgender-pioneer-christine-jorgensen/https://www.wired.com/2010/12/1201first-sex-change-surgery/https://www.them.us/story/christine-jorgensen-first-trans-celebrity Lili Elbehttps://www.thoughtco.com/lili-elbe-biography-4176321https://www.lgbtqnation.com/2018/10/meet-lili-elbe-transgender-pioneer-1930s/https://danmarkshistorien.dk/leksikon-og-kilder/vis/materiale/lili-elbe-einar-wegener-1882-1931/https://www.goodreads.com/author/quotes/6564897.Lili_Elbe Lucy Hicks Andersonhttp://www.wevebeenaround.com/lucy/https://herstryblg.com/amplify/2020/1/23/amplify-lucy-hicks-andersonhttps://www.queerportraits.com/bio/anderson    Martisse Macri is the host and producer of “The Pop Off with Martisse” her direct Apple Podcasts link is: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-pop-off/id1068008774The Pop Off with MartisseMM Podcast Consulting is located in the Greater Pittsburgh, PA area, however their services can be accessed online via video or phone.If you are interested in seeking Martisse with MM Podcast Consulting for podcast consulting services, please see her contact information below:Website: MM Podcast ConsultingEmail: [email protected]: 724-730-1212
