Mom and Teen Reel Talk!

Hey Hey Reel Talkers, Angi and Dr. Nikki are back and heading into Season 4 of Never Have I Ever, episodes 1 and 2, and oh my god, there are many issues to dig into, and we are digging in! Here are some of the important questions that we explore and open for you and your teen to discuss. 1) Can you be "bad" at Sex? What makes someone "good" at sex? 2) Should relationships be easy? Should there only be good feelings? 3) Why do you think guys seem to like robotics more than girls? 4) What is the "hot pocket". Who is the "hot pocket" in your life or school? 5) Do we tend to be attracted to people who are not the best fit? Why do you think?

Hey Reel Talkers, We are talking all things Ginny and Georgia episodes 7 and 8! Happy b-day Ginny do you really want to hear the truth? Here are some good jumping off questions to get the ball rolling and communicating. Do you think that 16 year old's want to do their birthday with their parents?  Why do women shave? Do we get to change our mind about having sex even if the other person is interested or expecting it? Where do you feel like you most belong?

Hey Hey Reel Talkers, We are watching Ginny and Georgia episodes 5 and 6 and reel life thougths and demons are often scarier than any horror movie. There are so many great conversations waiting to happen in this episode and here are some questions to start the ball rolling. Is watching scary movies the prelude to nightmares?  Should you let a young child watch a scary movie? Is Halloween a sexy holiday? Does the worst trouble come from fooling around?  Should there be no fun? Hunter says: maybe she has her reasons for not telling Ginny about Maddie and Caleb, Hunter thinks its cool that she has new family.  Are there any secrets you think are better left not talked about and why?

We are talking all things Ginny and Georgia Episodes 3 and 4. It is getting sticky and relationships are NOT EASY. Listen with your teen or talk to your teen and we hope you will be able to have those hard conversations with less worry, sadness or criticism. Here are some questions and talking points to consider. Whether you are the hippest or the most clueless mom...either way, you will get the conversation going with your teen to discuss ALL THE ACTION on Ginny & Georgia. What is Abbey doing with the duct tape?  Is that a body dysmorphic syndrome?  Is that a form of self harm?  Why do you think she is feeling insecure? Is this different from wearing a girdle or spanx and why? How are our parents embarrassing and why? Do you like the way Max throws it all out there for love? When have you allowed yourself to be vulnerable in the last year?

Hey Reel Talkers, We are starting to dive into the complicated lives of Ginny and Georgia. Angi is a little leary about all of the confusing messages for young girls. I think that it is the best opportunity to tease out where we take in confusing messages about the way we influence people in a sexist society. Here are some great questions to begin with so you can have your first really great fun conversation. Georgia's philosophy is always either you screw someone or you are going to get screwed. Passion, Power do we always have to get something for sex? Do we always have to get something for everything we do?   Do we believe that we can change our circumstance and then be happy, like Georgia moving all the time to flee her difficult situations? Is stability crucial for children in their formative years?  What are the different ways you could feel stable or grounded? Do people usually do the opposite of what their parents are like?  If the mom is not responsible than the child takes on the responsibility?

Hey Reel Talkers, Wednesday is back and more fearless than ever. Episodes three and four will get the conversations between you and your teens flowing and you will have more fun and connection than you ever thought possible. It's been shown that strong family relationships and conversation will decrease the incidence of future high risk behaviors. Here are some great questions to start off the fun conversations: Secrets are like zombies they never truly die. What secrets are you keeping that don't seem to die? Would it be easier to just tell the truth or to continue to tell lies? Is there anyone that you are truly scared of? Do you believe in hell or revenge? Anyone in history or life ever really make you feel scared? There are monsters everywhere. What are the present day monsters that we are encountering? Diseases, racism etc?

Hey Beautiful Humans, Today we take a little detour from our regularly scheduled programming to have some fun with Amy Schumer's "I Feel Pretty". Join us for the important conversation with the brilliant Author and Tic Tok influencer, Kathryn Ver Brugge, to discuss the intersection of Sexism and fat oppression and where it completely derails our hopes and dreams and even our health. The same night we podcasted I was fortunate enough to go to the book signing and reading of Mecca Sullivan's new book "Big Girl" which really highlighted the intersectionality of sexism, racism and fat oppression which has it's own flavor and differences. Mom's and daughters pull up a piece of the couch and watch "I Feel Pretty" and discuss. The more adept we are at understanding oppression and the way in which it affects all of us the better we will be able communicate. If you want a big, fun life with less worry, overwhelm and anxiety so that you can be super-connected with your children and really keep then close and safe DM or contact me and see how I can help.

Episode 10 and 11 of Gossip Girl takes us through The Life of the Insanely Wealthy and Holidays but no one is talking to each other. Dr. Nikki & Angi invite you into a no-pressure conversation to consider real life issues. Get started asking some interesting questions and stop arguing over laundry piles.

Miserable family holidays are pretty relatable for most of us. Unpacking Gossip Girl season 1 episode 8 and 9, and there is no easy thanks in the giving. We start out talking about guilt and confessions. Families covering up drug addictions and eating disorders...you know, basically not telling the truth until everything completely falls apart. Once everyone becomes honest with each other...then you can start having a real conversation how to heal as a family and as a person. Wow! Maybe there's a lot to learn here in examining the fraught lives of Vanderwoodsons... Build a safer relationship with your teen. Stronger connections come from honest communication.

Can you overcome your reputation as a sleazy drunk? Let's check out the underlying emotions in episodes 4 and 5 of Gossip Girl, Season ONE. Jenny is trying to get into the big time with a Blaire Waldorf sleepover, can Little J retain her true nature? Dan is trying to impress Serena with the date he thinks she wants but he is off the mark. We can never truly know what someone else is feeling or wants until we ask. Blaire's mom tries to guilt Blair with "I know you'll forgive me, no matter what". Bonus: Can you stay true to yourself while trying desperately to fit in? Let's look at the joy and struggle of the mother daughter bond. Let's keep the lines of communication open and the curiosity strong without lots of judgement. Less judgement for those we LOVE and less judgement for ourselves. Create better conversations with your teen.
