Show Summary:Natasha sits down for a chat with Dora Palfi and Beatrice Ionascu, co-founders of imagi, a Swedish EdTech startup dedicated to closing the gender gap in tech by sparking a passion for technology in all children through fun and inclusive computer science education.Dora and Beatrice met while studying at NYU Abu Dhabi and went on to work in various large tech companies. Their experiences, often as the only women in male-dominated tech environments, fueled their desire to create imagi, with the vision of transforming the tech industry and broadening access to computer science education, particularly for underrepresented groups. imagi's AI-powered Python programming platform equips educators—regardless of their coding background—with the tools to teach a dynamic, engaging curriculum to middle school students, promoting inclusivity across gender and race. After just one hour of coding with imagi, one in three girls and non-binary students report increased interest in coding, and 85% of all students find the experience "fun" after their first lesson. Having reached more than 300,000 students in 140 countries, cultivating a vibrant global community of young coders who have collectively generated over 19 million lines of Python code, imagi is making strides in reshaping the future of tech education globally.For more details, visit imagi's website.You can use the Vivify promo code for 15% off a purchase of imagiCharms!

“Nobody goes into adolescent medicine or into a field of medicine that serves adolescent patients because it's simple and straightforward, right?” In May 2024, the New York State Department of Health AIDS Institute Clinical Guidelines Program published an update to the guidelines, “Guidance: Adolescent Consent to HIV and STI Treatment and Prevention.” These guidelines serve to inform New York State clinicians who provide primary care to adolescents about existing regulations that allow minors to consent for and receive confidential HIV and STI screening, treatment, and prevention. In this episode, Dr. Erica Bostick chats with Dr. Uri Belkind, Associate Medical Director for Adolescent Medicine and Clinical Director of the Health Outreach to Teens (HOTT) program at Callen-Lorde Community Health Center in New York City, and original lead author of these guidelines. Drs. Bostick and Belkind discuss the intricacies of providing confidential HIV and STI care to adolescents, perspectives on how to navigate sexual health conversations with patients and a trusted adult, resources on confidential adolescent healthcare for general providers, and more!

It's not easy or obvious to not only work with adolescent girls in crisis settings, but also to let them lead. But it is possible. AMAL currently operates in Syria, Nigeria, and Somalia, addressing the unique vulnerabilities of adolescent girls in crisis settings, such as early marriages and adolescent pregnancy. The program includes components like a Young Mother's Club, Community Dialogues, and a health provider curriculum to improve sexual and reproductive health service uptake and enhance participants' life skills. Our guest speaker, Pari Chowdhary, highlights the importance of relationship investments, continuous quality improvement mechanisms, and including adolescent girls in program design and evaluation. The final hope is for the program to be owned and run locally by the adolescent mothers themselves.
This is the last episode in 2023. Back on Jan. 26, 2024! *Debbie talks to Mary Pipher, a psychologist and bestselling author of 11 books including the ground-breaking Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls. She was the first psychologist to recognize and articulate why life was difficult for adolescent girls and why so many of them felt bad about themselves.More recently, she has written Women Rowing North: Navigating Life's Currents and Flourishing As We Age, about women navigating the transition from middle age to old age (the topic of this podcast!).In 2022, she published a memoir, A Life in Light: Meditations on Impermanence. In her new book, just out in paperback, Mary, now 76, talks about her difficult childhood and her relationship with her parents, the importance of family and community, living in a small town in Nebraska, and what the particular challenges of getting old are. She also talks about forgiveness, about adopting Buddhism and her definition of happiness. Per the title, she's obsessed with light, through trees, on walks, at certain times of day, in certain rooms, and in memories — and how the light makes her feel happy and complete.She says her knowledge about happiness comes from being someone who has struggled with sadness and anxiety much of her life, something that resonates strongly with Debbie.This is a great episode.

Show Notes: The most beneficial diet for adolescent girls includes social-emotional and mental health items, not calories. Perhaps there is a different, healthier kind of diet plan that would better suit the developmental and social-emotional needs of girls in grade school on up. Here are some items girls may want to consider giving up = mental health diet Fitting in Move on from toxic friends Non-verbal relationship aggressions Caring what other people think Talking about others behind their backs & spreading rumors Good Girl conditioning Comparing themselves to peers and online people Restricting social media Old, negative beliefs about themselves Catching themselves when ruminating & switching their thoughts Making decisions based on pleasing or not disappointing others Let go of all the excuses for why they don't practice regular self-care Instead of focusing on dieting to look hot in their bathing suit this school year, girls would do better to let go of the unhealthy patterns in the 12 points above. They would feel more content, confident, relaxed, fulfilled, powerful, and happy.

Show Notes: Dorothy's heroine's journey illustrates how girls must face their fears and overcome adversities in order to gain the strength and resources to face the adult world. Dr. Jordan briefly describes the heroine's journey that all girls must embark on in order to grow into strong, courageous adults. Dr. Jordan's Heroine's journey podcast 8-5-21 Using many examples from the movie, Dr. Jordan brings out different aspects of girl's growth towards adulthood as shown metaphorically in the movie including: -How facing your fears and just showing up is a huge piece of the journey -How girls must overcome challenges and embrace all parts of herself as exemplified by the scarecrow (intellect, intuition, and street smarts), the tin man (compassion, service), lion (courage, facing and overcoming fears), Glinda (spirituality), and the wizard (Inner knowing). -How we all already possess what we often desire the most Dr. Jordan also notes that women are the primary power holders in the movie: Miss Gulch, Glinda, the wicked witch of the west By movie's end, Dorothy has pulled back the curtain to see things as they really are, accumulated the wisdom to create her heart's desire, and is ready to meet the world as an adult. Parent's role in their daughter's heroine's journey: Help girls understand, be aware of their heroine's journey, normalize the uncertainty and anxiety around touch points; it's okay to struggle and face uncertainty and be faced with adversities and challenges, they will need mentors besides their parents, the need for quiet alone time to reflect, process thru and integrate experiences Parents need to share their stories so daughters know that they too can get thru the challenges of the journey, and that there is a light at the end of the tunnel; teach the self-compassion piece about universal experience that past people have gotten thru this journey so you will too.

Adolescence should be a time of innocence, growth, learning, and discovering ourselves, our bodies, and our values. But the truth is that adolescence is hard, especially for teen girls going through changes from head to toe.Did you know that 1 in 8 girls from North Dakota attempt suicide? More than 50% have unhealthy body esteem, and 1 in 3 girls state their mental health is not good. These alarming stats come directly from BIO Girls, a nonprofit that aims to build self-esteem in young girls and teens through their researched-backed programs.Founder of BIO (Beautiful Inside & Out) Girls, Missy Heilman, joins Patty Post of Checkable Health to share the BIO Girls mission to improve the mental wellness of our children by focusing on life skill development through positive mentoring and physical activity. Self-esteem is one of the strongest predictors of behavioral and emotional problems, and that's why Missy dedicated the last decade to growing their volunteer-led program in the Midwest.With a curriculum developed by Dr. Beth Salafia, Professor at North Dakota State University in the Human Development and Family Science Department, girls in grades 2 to 11 participate in hands-on experiences that teach lessons in kindness, leadership, friendships, and the importance of self-worth. Children who have mentors outside of their family have higher self-esteem, and BIO Girls is undoubtedly making a big impact in the lives of these girls and the greater community.If your child has experienced increased anxiety post-pandemic, struggles with self-esteem or body dysmorphia, or you're interested in becoming a mentor or donating, tune in to this podcast to learn more about how BIO Girls is re-shaping our youth!Topics discussed in this episode:The BIO Girls mission and curriculumMissy's inspiration for BIO GirlsCreating BIO Girls's curriculumSocial media educationGrowing BIO Girls and building a communityA BIO Girls success storyHow you can support BIO GirlsJoin the movement and sign up for BIO Girls Newsletter here: https://www.biogirls.org/connectConnect with BIO Girls:WebsiteFacebookInstagramLinkedInContact FormConnect with Missy:InstagramFacebookTwitterLinkedIn Check out our other podcasts selection for valuable info on health, wellness, and more.

More specifically the ones where our students tell us the picture of the guy in the white lab coat is “definitely” a scientist, but the picture of the beautiful lady standing next to a telescope is “just a model”. In this episode of The STEM Space, Claire and Natasha share a listener's email asking how to be inclusive of boys and girls within an after-school STEM program. Tune in to learn how to start an exciting program and convince your students that they, too, can be successful engineers, scientists, or whatever else they aspire to be.Links from the Show:Vivify Blog Posts in this Episode:Top 10 Ways To Encourage Girls In STEM Bring Space Club to Your School!How to Start an After School STEM ClubSTEM Explorers: Travel the World with STEM Activities for ElementaryHow to Teach Growth Mindset and Failing ForwardPrevious The STEM Space Podcasts Mentioned:Why You Should Teach SpaceSTEM Careers in your ClassroomGirls outperform boys at school, yet still shy away from STEMDownload the full study here: Hands Up for Gender Equality: A Major Study into Confidence and Career Intentions of Adolescent Girls and BoysNASA - How to Request a SpeakerSkype a ScientistWho is an Engineer or Scientist?

The stories of fictional characters like Moana and the Wizard of Oz's Dorothy can help your daughter reframe her adolescent challenges as a normal part of her heroine's journey and to relax and enjoy the process. Every adolescent girl must embark on this journey to discover new depths of courage, strength, hope, and resolve within herself that she can draw upon to overcome the challenges of growing up. SHOW NOTES: · Won't grow in protected environments; growth as response to demands/challenges of experience· Favorite books: Spinning Straw Into Gold, Original fairy tales, The Sound of a Silver Horn, She, The Witch Must Die, Joseph Campbell's The Power of Myth and The Hero with a Thousand Faces, Women Who Run with the Wolves· Call to adventure is a summons to leave old beliefs; Dorothy called to a larger life beyond her outmoded situation in Kansas; Rapunzel, Little mermaid, and Cinderella yearn to break loose from home even at the risk of losing their life.· Our heroines usually meet a mentor who guides and encourages them on their quest. Mentors like Moana's grandmother, Professor Dumbledore for Harry Potter, the good witch Glinda for Dorothy, and Gandalf for Frodo and Bilbo all saw more in our heroines before they could see it in themselves.· Fictional young heroines must confront their deepest fears and face a series of dangerous encounters that tests their strength and resolve; must gain the strength and resources to survive and be ready to face the adult world· Like Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz, girls must pull back the curtain of her limiting beliefs and conditioning and look inward to find her power and innermost resources.· Your daughter must learn to get quiet and go inward to find her own truth and strength. She must learn to stop giving away her power just as Dorothy learned to hold onto her ruby slippers. And like Dorothy, girls must become aware that they have the power to realize their own heart's desire.· Fairy tales and fictional stories are a great vehicle to understand the trials and tribulations of both the story's characters as well as your own. Girl's feelings of discontent, restlessness, emptiness, uncertainty, anxiety, and despair can be normalized in the context of the heroine's journey.· Touch points: feel out of sorts, depression, anxiety, uncertainty, self-doubt = sign of growth, transformation, change· What has called you? Any urges? What ignites your passion? What pulls you in a positive direction? Who helps you stay on course? What brings you joy, fills your heart, inspires you?· Learn to have quiet, alone time to reflect, soul search, check in with her feelings and intuition; trust urges, understand touch points and heroine's journey· Descent into the maelstrom metaphor: What will you hold onto to get you thru tough times? Friends, mentors, and parents· Reframe road of trials (college process) to road of adventures and excitement full of opportunities to grow, learn who they really are and what they're capable of vs. focus on fears· Help her find passions and friends she can hold onto to get her through the tough times. Like these heroines, your daughter can learn to master her emotions, face her fears, overcome challenges, and ultimately find and embrace the parts of herself that yearn to be expressed.

A reading from James Garbarino's 1999 book on violent young men, Lost Boys: Why Our Sons Turn Violent & How We Can Save Them. Garbarino has written many other books on the topic, and this one especially can both continue to speak to us today, as well as seem like a time capsule before the internet went crazy, before smartphones, and before social media. For these reasons & others, this episode is a good companion to only the third episode of Human Voices Wake Us, where I read from Mary Pipher's 1994 book on teenage girls, Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls. Any comments, or suggestions for readings I should make in later episodes, can be emailed to humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com. I assume that the small amount of work presented in each episode constitutes fair use. Publishers, authors, or other copyright holders who would prefer to not have their work presented here can also email me at humanvoiceswakeus1@gmail.com, and I will remove the episode immediately.
In this episode of AIDS 2021, we discuss pre-exposure prophylaxis — PrEP — a critical HIV prevention tool for adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in countries with high HIV burdens. Janet Fleischman speaks with Mitchell Warren, the executive director of AVAC, and two women working with Wits Reproductive Health and HIV Institute in South Africa – Khanyi Kwatsha, a 26-year-old PrEP ambassador, and Elmari Briedenhann, a senior project manager. They discuss the importance of PrEP for AGYW and highlight innovative approaches to better reach this group and to address the inherent challenges of meeting the needs of this population.
5 Million Plus Women live PCOS 1 in 10 Million Woman have Endometriosis 15% of Adolescent Girls are on the Birth Control Pill for "Period Issues" 1 in 3 Women Have Fibroids This is what happens when our natural seasons start to fail! Far to many of us feel ashamed to talk about puberty, perimenopause, periods or our body parts! We think that our life cycle seasons are all based on physical symptoms that we may need to manage and control. What if it is so much deeper than that? What if there is so much more POWER found in these different life cycle seasons and our lack of wisdom, knowledge passed down and connection with them is really harming us? Why are are seasons failing and what are we going to do about it? This episode explores what the natural seasons of life look like from a mind/body/spirit standpoint and how rites of passage can be catalyst for change and going through these transition periods feeling whole.

This episode looks closely at today's adolescent girls. Guests, Dr. Mary Pipher and Sara Pipher Gilliam draw upon their new updated version of Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescents Girls, to compare the teenage girls of the 1990's with the middle though high school girls of today. Using Focus Groups of girls and mothers, interviews with teachers and guidance counselors, the latest research, as well as feedback from today's girls on the original book, they consider what challenges, needs, perils and joys have changed and what have remained the same. They will answer -How do developmental givens interface with social and cultural changes? What is the impact of social media, school shootings, and sleeping with cell phones? How have the girls of today embraced gender fluidity, racial diversity and the #metoo movement. Overall, they invite us to understand and celebrate the emerging selves and precious gifts of our adolescent girls.
