  • 222: How to cultivate Menstrual Cycle Awareness with The Red School

    222: How to cultivate Menstrual Cycle Awareness with The Red School
    Aug 26 2024
    This episode was...unplanned. :-) A couple of months ago I interviewed Dr. Louise Newson on the topic of menopause. Dr. Newson is a medical doctor and focused very heavily on Hormone Replacement Therapy as a treatment that everyone who menstruates should at least consider, and I knew I wanted to do an episode with someone who doesn't hold that belief as well. I found Alexandra Pope and Sjanie Hugo Wurlitzer of The Red School, and really appreciated their book Wise Power. As I usually do before recording an interview I read their other co-authored book Wild Power, and I realized there was a 'missing' episode on the topic of Menstrual Cycle Awareness. We can't really talk about being aware of the changes that are happening to our bodies during menopause if we don't know what has happened to our bodies throughout our menstruating years. When I read Wild Power I felt a deep sense of sadness that I was just discovering this now, as my own years of menstruation wind down - but also a deep sense of hope that I can help Carys develop a much closer relationship with her own body than I had with mine. We'll answer questions like:
    • What phases does my body go through each month?
    • How can I start becoming more aware of these phases through Menstrual Cycle Awareness?
    • How can I align my activities with my energy levels, creativity, and arousal - even in the real world, which wants me to go-go-go all the time?
    • How is my inner critic aligned with my cycle, and how can I use its knowledge to help me?
    • How can I navigate Menstrual Cycle Awareness if I've had a difficult relationship with my periods and with fertility?

    I'd encourage you to listen to this episode if:
    • You menstruate and want to better understand how menstruation affects your life
    • You're raising a child who will menstruate and want to prepare them to feel 'at home' in their bodies
    • You love someone who menstruates and want to be better attuned to them
    • You're raising a child who will never menstruate, but you want them to appreciate menstruation and know how to effectively support people who menstruate.

    In other words, everyone will get something out of this episode! ...

  • 221: How to advocate for the schools our children deserve

    221: How to advocate for the schools our children deserve
    Aug 19 2024
    How comfortable do you feel speaking up about something your child’s school needs? Have you noticed that some parents seem to feel more comfortable speaking up than others? Have you ever noticed that sometimes rules and policies in school don’t seem to be applied evenly to all students, while squeaky wheels who raise issues that concern them and their children tend to get addressed? If you have, and you’d like to understand more about what you’re seeing and know what to do about it, then this episode is for you. My guest for this episode is Allyson Criner Brown, an award-winning equity practitioner, trainer, and scholar who has worked at the intersections of pre-K-12 education, family, and community engagement, environmental justice, and local government. I also have a co-interviewer joining me, parent Cassie Gardener Manjikian, who asked for this episode after she noticed that the everyday actions she was seeing in her school weren’t matching up with the school’s (and district’s) own goals and plans. In the episode, we answer questions like:
    • What are the valuable ways that parents contribute to their children’s learning, even if they never volunteer in the classroom?
    • What kinds of social challenges happen in schools, and how do these affect our kids?
    • How can I advocate for changes if the Principal doesn’t seem interested?
    • What kinds of tools can we use with teachers and parents if people are on board with doing things differently but just don’t know what to do or how to do it?
    • If I’m the kind of parent who is never going to join the PTA, what role can I play?

    We all have an important role to play in creating the schools our children deserve - this episode will help you to find yours.

  • 220: Nutritious movement for your child – and you!

    220: Nutritious movement for your child – and you!
    Aug 12 2024
    A few months ago my daughter had a routine checkup at the doctor, who asked how much screen time she gets in a day (which is more than typical recommendations but way less time than children spend sitting in school). The doctor told her (but really she told me): “You should get more exercise.” Carys isn’t a team sports kind of person. She doesn’t love hiking, and she only really likes biking when friends are with us. Something about the ‘get more exercise’ advice didn’t sit quite right with me, but I couldn’t put my finger on why. Then I found Katy Bowman’s work and suddenly it all made sense. Katy points out that movement and exercise are not the same thing. Even if we aren’t getting enough exercise, what we need far more than exercise is movement. In this episode, we discuss questions like:
    • What, exactly, is movement?
    • What does it mean for our children to move…and how about us?
    • How do we get more of it when our days are already so full? (I know I thought that, but I’ve found ways to incorporate a daily stretching routine without taking any time away from anything else I do. We discuss how in the episode!)
