July 22, 2020 Interview with Tonya Crombie, PhD: From Anxious to Calm
In this episode, I’m chatting with Tonya Crombie, PhD, MBA- a mom of teenagers herself and a life coach who just happens to have a doctorate in psychology. Like many of us, it’s our own experience with something that allows us to discover our passion. For Tonya, it was being a mom as her own daughter experiences anxiety.
We talk a lot about anxiety on this podcast because of the spectrum of anxiety- it can be a teen who worries about an upcoming test…. Or maybe your daughter has social anxiety… or maybe your child has full blown panic attacks. Each of these situations is going to require us to draw on different approaches and skills as we help our own daughters navigate the different intensities of anxiety.

June 11, 2020 Interview with Rose Skeeters, LPC, PN-1: The Truth of Borderline Personality Disorder
Rose Skeeters, LPC, PN-1 sheds the light on the lesser known mental health condition known Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD).
In this episode you will hear from Rose that people with BPD have a warped sense of reality and tend to be very sensitive- they feel things very deeply and are overly emotional. And there is an intense feeling of abandonment, emptiness and need to be validated.
Many of our teens experience depression, anxiety and other self harming behaviors that don't appear to be responding to traditional treatment because the underlying cause of BPD is not diagnosed in teenagers- often because of the stigma associated with it.
Listen in as she talks her personal journey with an eating disorder, depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation and how she learned that Borderline Personality Disorder was the “blanket” (the cause) of all of these other mental health issues.
More importantly Rose shares that unlike other mental health issues, BPD is cureable because this is a temperament issue, not a brain chemical imbalance.
You can listen to Rose’s podcast, Borderline to Beautiful for more information on Borderline Personality Disorder.

May 28, 2020 Interview with Cassidy Russell: Therapy for Nerds
In today’s episode Cassidy Russell, LMFT and founder of Therapy for Nerds, shares how her own “nerdiness” helps her relate to her teenage patients by using superheros from movies and video games.
Although Cassidy provides therapy to what she calls “nerds”, she is really referring to teenagers who are outcasts- those who have interests that are different than the social norms which can make it challenging for moms to relate and connect with them.

You can also check out her YouTube channel, Therapy for Nerds, where she speaks about mental health issues using films like “Coraline”, “Frozen” or superheros like “Shera” https://youtu.be/lxvwBzYjlus

April 02, 2020 Managing Anger Holistically with Michelle Page, PharmD, RPh
We are angry.
As of this recording, on a global scale, our society is being confronted with the threat of COVID-19, the Coronavirus. We are practicing social distancing, which means that all events have been cancelled and our kids are learning through the use of modern technology since the physical school buildings are closed. Some of us have the ability to continue working from home… and some of us have lost jobs because of the current state of affairs.
The bottom line is that we are spending 24/7 with our families- trying to work, helping to homeschool our kids, entertain our kids and just be a mom.
It’s no surprise that anxiety, tension, stress and fear is running high and tempers are short.
We are angry.
Which is why this podcast is needed. I will share with you different ways of managing anger. Because I know what it’s like to be a mom and I am not a stranger to being angry.
Managing anger is not just a coping skill. I’m not a counselor or therapist- I’m an integrative pharmacist. So I’m going to share with you some non-traditional, alternative & holistic ways to do this. And because one of my core values comes from my faith, I will share how my Christian beliefs help me find peace and comfort during times when I am angry.
If you would like to schedule a private consultation session or simply connect with me, you can find me on Facebook at Unbreakable Moms or Dr. Michelle Koe Page….. or you can visit my website at www.michelle-page.com
