But when we teach them that interrupting is impolite and rude, are we inadvertently undermining their ability to rightfully claim airtime -- even if they're interrupted by someone else?  Will they choose politeness over being heard?  Will they be afraid to assert themselves in a lively discussion, afraid that they'll offend?  Listen to hear: The different social norms for boys and girls Disparities in how much men talk versus women in executive settings The 10 words every girl needs to learn, according to Soraya Chemaly Sample phrases illustrating how to interrupt What to tell your daughters to make them feel more comfortable with interrupting   Know Them, Be Them, Raise Them New episodes drop every week (and sometimes in between).

If you're like me, you believe on some gut level that burying and ignoring your emotions isn't healthy - and the research continues to back that. A https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/03/110323105202.htm (study) from the University of Texas found that when we avoid our emotions, we're actually making them stronger — which can create serious implications for your body and mind, including depression, aggression, low self-esteem, and physical problems like headaches, insomnia, heart disease, intestinal problems.  Another thing to consider, is that opening up can go both ways.  We want to hold space for our sons and daughters, but when we're feeling off, we make a mistake, or have big feelings, it's also OK to share these with them in an age-appropriate way.  It's only by knowing our hardships and obstacles that our kids will understand how resilient, persistent, and courageous we are. _____ Getting your tween or teen to talk to you can be notoriously difficult. We're all used to one-word answers and hearing “fine” when we ask how they're doing.   Today's article, "How to Get Kids to Open Up," comes from Ezza Mustaffa, a licensed professional counselor who works with individuals of all ages. Learn about: The importance of a safe emotional environment Reptilian brain?! 5 tips on how to create a safe space Ezza Mustaffa received her Masters of Education in Community Counseling from Loyola University Chicago. She works with individuals of all ages and couples, presenting with a wide range of concerns.

April is sexual assault awareness month -- a reminder to acknowledge and support survivors, advocate for further awareness, and educate ourselves and our kids. While we know what sexual assault is on some visceral level, I wanted to do a quick episode that spells out what body boundaries, sexual assault, and consent are. It's so hard to know when to talk about these topics - and how to talk about them without instilling fear or anxiety. So I tried to find ways to raise the topics organically, what to say as a baseline of understanding, and other helpful phrases that our daughters need to hear. Listen to hear: The definition of sexual assault and consent How to bring up this topic with your daughters, including using current events and pop culture to help facilitate conversations 7 things to say to your daughters, to foster open communication, and help them feel more empowered and aware about sexual assault going forward Other episodes to check out: https://www.rainn.org/ (RAINN.org) 24/7 Free Support Hotline - 800-656-HOPE (4673) Know Them, Be Them, Raise Them New episodes drop every Tuesday (and sometimes in between).

Every failure presents opportunities for learning, and a failed marriage is no different. In Ep. 32, Heather McGinley and Laura Koo chat with host Carmelita Tiu about the ups and downs of life post-divorce, and what they've learned. Some key takeaways: It's helpful for kids to have a sense for the work that parents put into giving them the life that they have.  Tough moments can create opportunities for them to step up and be helpful. Sometimes divorce allows someone to be a better parent.  It may seem counterintuitive, but a toxic relationship can suck up an outsized amount of energy.  When you as a mom are able to come from a happy and healthy place, that positively impacts all of your relationships. Let your kids see your emotions.  It can open the door to talk about big feelings. Normalize that idea that romantic relationships have seasons and phases, just like friendships, and may not last forever.  Help them understand when and how to let go in a healthy way. Teach your daughters what a healthy relationship looks like. Remember that we are not merely the roles we play.  The role of “mom” is just one part of our selves.

Every year, International Women's Day chooses a theme -- a specific call to action in an effort to further gender parity. This year's theme is #breakthebias -- calling attention to the ways that explicit and implicit biases negatively impact women. And while we celebrate International Women's Day on March 8, we're challenged to use the rest of the year to make progress on ending gender bias. While we know what bias is on some visceral level, I wanted to do a quick episode that spells it all out -- what gender bias is, how it shows up in women's lives, and what we can do about it. In this episode on bias against women and girls, we cover: The definition of gender bias The most common biases that women face The bias that ties into imposter syndrome 4 ways women can move the needle on gender bias in the workplace 7 tips for helping reduce the negative impact of gender bias on our daughters One bonus tip for how to break your biases Other references in this episode: Ep. 26 - Cynthia Changyit Levin - "https://player.captivate.fm/episode/dd85688c-8839-4e0f-996b-e76d0a82d16f (From Changing Diapers to Changing the World)" Ep. 11 - Annie Warshaw of Mission Propelle - https://player.captivate.fm/episode/4fc96490-b95a-4899-a8ad-63b6821314a7 (Unpacking Gender Equity ) Know Them, Be Them, Raise Them New episodes drop every Tuesday (and sometimes in between).

In Episode 19 of “Know Them, Be Them, Raise Them,” Neysa Page-Lieberman, Monuments to Movement co-founder and co-artistic director, and a curator, lecturer, writer, educator, tackles representation in public art. She chats with host Carmelita Tiu about her work, the Monuments to Movement project, and the importance of seeing public works that reflect the diversity and richness of our communities.

The end of the year always triggers look-backs and goal-setting for the future. If you're like most moms and high achievers, the new year comes with excitement, some trepidation, and some guilt that your previous year's goals didn't play out the way you thought they would (or guilt because not everything on your to-do list has been checked off). In this episode, host Carmelita Tiu shares some thoughts on how to shift our mindsets around failure (in big or small ways): Celebrate the big no's, an idea from Greg McKeown; Release ourselves from a narrow, fixed definition of “win” Choose progress over perfection. These quick tips nudge us to show ourselves some compassion, and allow us to celebrate how far we've come. Take the time to reflect and celebrate the progress you've made this year!
