Because there is NOTHING parents like better than parenting

advice from NON parents!   

Actually,  I’m “borrowing” this

advice… but I DO know that I had MANY years of experience being a kid and many

more after that reflecting on “and healing from” the experience of being a kid…

So, I am weighing in on that angle.

Kari Becken joins me to weight in and share her perspectives

on this topic in our maiden voyage of 

“Ren Rant”. 

The advice…

To have a person or few people that you and your kid trust

to be “safe” people to talk to.  The kid

knows that they can go to that person with questions, concerns about life

stuff, that maybe they don’t feel comfortable coming to Mom or Dad about… that

is safe and not going to nark them out to their parents.

I forgot to mention this in the intro… if you are curious how

this fits into the wellness piece of the podcast?   This surely is about support, mental health,

stress, emotional and physical safety… probably dependant on the kid and what

role that safe person might have at any given time.   It’s about modeling, teaching kids by

example and helping kids learn it is OK to ask for help, learn to navigate and

be adults in this crazy world… and SO much more!

We are doing something fun and different! 

The idea… Toss out a topic, news article or something of

interest and share thoughts and hopefully have some thought provoking

discussion.

What’s a Ren Rant? 

Well, we will all find out together wont we!

Danielle is a local, actively performing, stand up comic

from right here in Duluth, MN.  

She has invited her experience as a trans woman to inspire her

performance.

Check out part one first or join us RIGHT here!  We welcome you!

Quick Link to Part 1 – https://wellnessrenpodcast.com/podcast/episode-105-comedy-that-furthers-the-cultural-conversation-with-comedian-danielle-thralow-part-1/

We dive in a little more into her growing up years and her perception of how the boys were SO much better at being masculine than she was. And how she learned to conform to those masculine expectations.

We know that being trans is not a mental illness…

Danielle takes us down a path for those who might feel that being

trans may be a mental illness and how that perspective might be used for good.

She shares her concerns and perspectives around our current

political climate and her own guiding light to keep her on a forward thinking

path.

What can we learn from the Transgender community about the

hormonal changes in the brain. 

Testosterone is a potent hormone.   

What can communication; education and awareness do to benefit our

culture as a whole.

What else did we talk

about?

Variation in genetics… Classifications of masculine and feminine both things and behavior.  “He’s throwing like a 12 year old girl” tom boys and sissy’s.PrejudiceIdentification… why we need an M or F on our driver’s license?And SO much more!

Her training in both Eastern and Western medicine gives her

the skills that allow her to pull from either and blend them both to serve

those who visit her treatment table. she loves to be challenged by each

individual person and what they bring and do “what works” for them.

Shiatsu. Means finger pressure but it is SO much more than that!

Her multi-modality training

Chinese medicine

What might a visit to her table look like?

Clothes on or GET NAKED??

A simple walk through of… Yin and yangFive element theory

How in the world do these socks have such an effect on

people’s functioning for those who try it.

Sandy

talks about her and her daughters experience with types of pain reduction. 

The Human Performance Technology (HPT) helps also with Increases

strength, endurance, stability and balance, enhances range of motion and also provides

for faster reaction times.

People with pain or neurological activity challenges.

Also if you are active and play or participate in sports.

We are not living in the same world today as in the past. How do we take responsibility for our health?How do we find the support and answers WE seek and need?

Laura Ness, Co owner of Green Home Solutions Duluth and I

had a great conversation exploring experiences and the world we currently live

in.  Her challenges, insights and forward

momentum with Lyme Disease and mold.

Our biome, the one in our home and our body… how do they relate to or reflect each other??The power that the lyme spirochete can have on our body with the power to turn things on and off that allow other pathogens to do their worst work. Not feeling well can feel overwhelming and be a time consumer. Consider tools and resources to keep our energy up, keep you calm, release toxins, etc.

Do ya remember that commercial… “I liked it so much I bought

the company”?  Well, that is true for

Laura and her search for safe mold removal here in Duluth.  

You can learn more about the great details of that story with Steve

Stern by checking out the two previous episodes.  If mold is a thing… or might be a thing, for

you, I highly recommend the listen for your health and awareness’ sake.
