Podcasts about adolescent girls

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. Mary articulates so well what it's really like to get old and yet still feel so alive.//////////Don't miss the Behind The Scenes essay accompanying each episode in Debbie's [B]OLD AGE on Substack.////////// Mentioned in this episode or useful:MaryPipher.comA Life in Light: Meditations on Impermanence by Mary Pipher (Bloomsbury Publishing paperback edition, Dec. 12, 2023)Reviving Ophelia 25th Anniversary Edition: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls by Mary Pipher PhD & Sara Gilliam (‎Riverhead Books 2019)Women Rowing North: Navigating Life's Currents and Flourishing As We Age by Mary Pipher (Bloomsbury Publishing paperback  2020)Finding Light in Winter by Mary Pipher (Guest Essay for The New York Times, Dec. 11, 2023)This is 74: Mary Pipher Responds to The Oldster Magazine QuestionnaireJane Jarvis, Player of Jazz and Mets Music, Dies at 94 (New York Times, Jan. 30, 2010) Connect with Debbie:debbieweil.comEmail: thebolderpodcast@gmail.com[B]OLD AGE podcast[B]OLD AGE newsletter on SubstackFacebook: @debbieweilInstagram: @debbieweilLinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/debbieweil Our Media Partners:CoGenerate (formerly Encore.org)MEA and with thanks to Chip ConleyNext For Me (former media partner and in memory of Jeff Tidwell) How to Support this podcast:Leave a review on Apple PodcastsSubscribe via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher or Spotify Credits:Host: Debbie WeilProducer: Far Out MediaMusic: Lakeside Path by Duck Lake

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.

I'm celebrating her by opening up about all the ways I screwed up raising her. Avery grew up as the younger sibling of a strong-willed older brother, so she experienced it all.

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. For more info on how to support your daughter along their heroine's journey, read Dr. Jordan's book, Sleeping Beauties, Awakened Women: Guiding the Transformation of Adolescent Girls

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.

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.

Vi har igen psykolog PhD Lene Meyer i studiet. Inden for psykologien er det åbenbart almen viden at vægtfokus, vejning og kategorisering som overvægtig er relateret til vægtøgning og udvikling af spiseforstyrrelser. Det har vi ikke interesseret os seriøst for i lægevidenskaben hidtil, for den viden tilhører jo et andet fagformråde - psykologien...  Det er oplagt, at man er nødt til at tænke vægtfeltet og spiseforstyrrelsesfeltet sammen. På lignende vis kan man trække på flere andre fagområder som kan nuancere vores forståelse. Hvad sker der for eksempel når sundhedsplejerskerne vejer vores børn i skolerne?  Kan det være skadeligt?Referencer til videnskabelige artiklerBørn ned til 3 år tillægger tykke mennesker onde karakteristika (1). Mødres kropsutilfreds, vægtsnak i familier og forældre, der kommenterer på deres børns kroppe (2). Hvis børn får at vide de er for tykke (too fat) Project EAT 5 år senere forstyrret spisning og høj BMI (3,4).  RCT-studie af vejning i skoler i USA, større vægtutilfreds og mere vægtsnak blandt børn der blev vejet (5). Børn bliver tykkere fordi der fokuseres på vægt: At anse sig for at være for tyk er forbundet med at spise dårligere mad, mindre fysisk aktiv og højere BMI (6,7). Review, der konkluderer at vægttabsinterventioner ikke er forbundet med øget risiko for spiseforstyrrelser - men gør det på et spinkelt grundlag (8). Tykke børn har lavere livskvalitet end kræftramte børn (9). Kropsopfattelse er forbundet med depression (10), angst (11), spiseforstyrrelser (12), diabetes (13) og selvmordsforsøg (14). Piger der synes de er for tykke 1/3 af 11-årige og 50 % af 14-årige (15). 1.            Spiel EC, Paxton SJ, Yager Z.

The underlying motivation to engage in physical activity is a complex dynamic and one that is difficult to navigate for many people. Of particular concern are adolescent girls, who are less likely to engage in, and enjoy physical activity compared to adolescent boys. Programs that tackle this gap and create opportunities to instill confidence in young girls to be active, must be a priority for public health. In this episode of the Public Health Insight Podcast, we’ll be talking about Smart Fit Girls, a unique program that aims to positively influence the physical and psychosocial health of middle school girls.Podcast GuestsChrissy Chard, PhDElli JenkinsPodcast HostLinda Holdbrook, BSc, MPHGordon Thane, BMSc, MPH, PMP®Leshawn Benedict, MPH, MSc, CAPM®References for Our Discussion Smart Fit Girls: A Novel Program for Adolescent Girls Improves Body ImageAn Inclusive Approach to Exploring Perceptions of Body Image, Self-Esteem, and Physical Activity among Black and African-American Girls: Smart Fit Girls Melanin MagicSubscribe to the NewsletterSubscribe to the newsletter to receive updates about podcast episodes, community stars, blogs, conferences, workshops, webinars, relevant news, jobs, professional development, and career opportunities for students and career professionals.

PREVIEW: With the closure of schools and the isolative nature of pandemic-life, the last year has clearly been challenging for teens, sometimes in unexpected ways. An emerging issue we’re seeing more and more is the online exploitation of teens online. Here to talk about the risks, signs, and prevention of online sexual exploitation is senior clinical therapist Kirsten Bolt. GUEST PROFILE: KIRSTEN BOLT, MED, LMFTKirsten has been working with adolescent girls at Open Sky since 2011. With her firm and direct approach, Kirsten confronts presenting issues and holds students and families accountable to their therapeutic work, while circumventing the shame that can interfere with progress. She incorporates humor and playfulness and quickly develops strong therapeutic relationships. TOPICS COVERED: adolescent, adolescent girls, teens, sexual exploitation, online exploitation, parenting tips, core values, therapy, wilderness therapy, treatment, parenting SELECT QUOTES: “First and foremost, if we can help our girls see their value in who they are as people, not how they look, that's number one in my mind. If we can help them recognize the sexual objectification that occurs for girls and women, that's a really great starting place. And if we can teach them to value themselves for their brains, for their strength, for their creative ability, for whatever it is.” “Have proactive conversations early with your children about online sexual exploitation. Have these conversations with your sons, have these conversations with your daughters. How they can honor their values? How can they protect their hearts and minds? Is this good for me? Or is this short-term satisfaction of that social connection that you're talking about?” “While this is certainly a concerning topic, there are lots of ways to intervene and to work with our kids. And the more that we're talking about this with each other, the more that we can actually help. The more that we teach our kids, they can spread the word.” “I don't want to downplay the gravity of this because it is dangerous and very, very risky. And there's a way forward, and it's actually through connection... Let's be in connection with our kids. Let's be in connection with other parents. Let's support our kids being in healthy connection with each other.” See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Chair Nicola Jones @njonesODI – Principal Research Fellow, Gender Equality and Social Inclusion, ODI Speakers María del Carmen Calle – Executive Secretary, Pan-Andean Health Organisation Prerna Banati @pbanati – Regional Gender and Adolescent Girls Advisor, West and Central Africa, UNICEF Kenan Madi – Programme Manager, UNICEF Jordan Selin Ozunaldim @SOzunaldim – Founder, Girls Who Code Turkey Closing remarks Arlette Mvondo @ArletteMvondo – Policy Advisor, UN Women Description As governments roll out Covid-19 response plans, a critical window of opportunity arises to reshape adolescent girls’ programs, anchoring them in girls’ voices, leadership and ambitions. Dedicated strategies to reach and support adolescent girls have been advocated, however challenges to scaling up approaches include sustainable financing, and weak systems with limited integration. Policymakers and community leadership also tend to be resistant and sceptical of meaningful adolescent girls’ engagement. As part of the broader conversations around the sixty-fifth session of the Commission on the Status of Women and in partnership with ODI’s GAGE and UNICEF, we explore empowering girl-intentional approaches to policy and programming. We also share experiences from promising practices in low- and middle-income countries, including lessons in light of the pandemic. This webinar is the second in a three-part ODI series on empowering women on their journey from adolescent girls, to young feminists, through to future political and judicial leaders.

Mythological Paths to Personal Potential Myths and fairy tales depict women’s initiation into authority and adulthood. Hades abducted Kore (maiden) into the underworld; Snow White choked on a poisoned apple and lay in stasis; Aphrodite punished forsaken Psyche with arduous tasks. As all were blossoming into the fullness of their beauty and fertility, all were also in thrall to innocence complexes that blinded them to realities of envy, aggression, and power, imaged as rapist, step-mother, and mother-in-law. Women’s initiation into adulthood and authority involves encountering shadow, finding inner fire, taking action, and wielding power. Kore became queen of the underworld; Snow White metabolized the poison and revived; Psyche reclaimed her mate and ascended to Mt. Olympus. Female initiation involves relational trauma and the sacrifice of a naively romantic and other-oriented stance. This mythological pattern points to the potential for finding clear-eyed selfhood, life direction, and the will to achieve goals. Here's the dream we analyze: "I was playing a concert with a famous elder statesman of bluegrass. We play a funny song about a cat that travels with its owner in a semi-tractor trailer, across the USA.  The song begins with me playing the bass and with the cat making some kind of meow. My cat (all grey, yellow eyes, born without a tail) was lying next to me on stage, curled up on top of a stool.v The cat's presence gave me comfort, humor and warmth. At end of song the lights went dark. A spotlight forms above the elder statesman, casting shadows across his features. He turns to me and gets very close to my face. I feel pressure at being the focus of attention. He produces a large stack of cards below his chin and starts showing them to me, one by one. At first the cards and numbers don't make sense. He draws 10 then 13 - maybe he can't guess the numbers my mind is picking. All of a sudden the "trick" begins to work. He picks 24, 48 and 72.  He is drawing the cards I’m thinking of and from a very large stack. These numbers are bigger than a deck of playing cards, yet they are similarly designed, quite intricate. I’m shocked, not afraid, that he knows the numbers. The elder smirks a slight, knowing smile." References: Michael Meade. The Water of Life: Initiation and Tempering of the Soul.  Mary Pipher.

*Trigger Warning*This is a heavier episode as we speak of eating disorders, habits of binging and restricting, triggers, diet culture, and recovery. If you are suffering or recovering from an eating disorder or body dysmorphia, please listen with caution or skip this episode entirely. The last thing I would want is for hearing these things to set you back in your healing journey or trigger negative thoughts or emotions. //Rachel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with over 12 years of experience treating Eating Disorders at both an inpatient treatment center and in private practice where she focuses on guiding adolescents and women to break free from diet culture and stop evaluating their worth by the number on the scale.

It's important to never forget where you have come from. Not every human is alike and that's how it should in the world. When I look back on my marriage it was a wonderful time and I smile and as I look to the future I smile. By respecting other people, I hope that they will do the same for me. As a woman, you have something special to give because you are a carrier of life. The guidance I received from the royal family was very important. I have never felt as if I wasn't free, I have always lived by my values and ethics Your mind is a fragile thing and it's important to be aware of the information you take in. I love hosting and I enjoy entertaining my friends. It's a part of me to connect with my friends and there are always new things to find out about. I surround myself with people who inspire and challenge me. You are the sum of the people who are around you.   BEST MOMENTS ‘I have precious projects in my life that I keep to myself and enjoy them as they grow and progress' ‘What is the world without good news?'   ABOUT THE GUEST Tessy Antony de Nassau is the former HRH Princess of Luxembourg.

Nataliya is joined by special guest Tessy Antony de Nassau, former HRH Princess of Luxembourg. She is the founder of and a partner in Finding Butterflies Consulting and co-founder of the charity Professors Without Borders, specialising in providing quality education all over the world. They discuss Tessy's homes in both London and Switzerland, what makes them special and why the experiences of life ultimately help us to grow if we take the time to listen to ourselves and understand the importance of how we communicate, present ourselves and respond to others.   KEY TAKEAWAYS My home is where my heart is and I have several homes across the world. The London home is a homage to my children, it's a living time capsule. It's warm, inviting and child friendly. It's designed to make my children feel comfortable and has many items that reflect them. My home in Switzerland is in the countryside so the house is much more connected to nature with lots of plants and classical paintings it's much more grown-up for the children. As long as you have a child inside you can see the curiosity and innocence in everything. My happy place is the kitchen, I love cooking for my children, and wine with my friends. The living room is also very important because its where we spend family time together. I journal in the morning to make sure all my thoughts are out of my head and I can start the day afresh. I have a date with myself every day to see how I'm feeling, to check in with myself. It all starts with you and you need to make yourself a priority. If you find time for yourself you respect yourself. Experiencing a burnout helped me to discover who I am. I had to learn to listen to myself, within silence you can learn to really hear. We need challenging experiences to help us grow. I'm strong about my opinions and can express them without pushing others away, I invite others to consider a different perspective. It's all about the way you talk to and present yourself to other people.   BEST MOMENTS ‘Changing everything around in your home is a way of playfully bringing in the new' ‘I learned to be grateful for everything in my life' ‘My London home is the home of my children where they share their life with me and we enjoy our lives here very much'   ABOUT THE GUEST Tessy Antony de Nassau is the former HRH Princess of Luxembourg.

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.

In this episode, Caroline Masboungi interviews Merheen Jaswal from IRC and Dorcas Erskine from UNICEF. They talk about the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on adolescent girls and how their safety towards GBV has been affected.  Early evidence indicates that COVID-19 pandemic has increased risks of adolescent girls towards GBV. Studies of past disease outbreaks and other humanitarian crisis have shown that without targeted intervention, COVID-19 will heighten pre-existing risks of GBV against girls, hinder their social, economic and educational development and threaten their sexual reproductive health.   Related resources: Briefing note on COVID-19 – GBV risks to adolescent girls and interventions to protect and empower them Technical Guidance Note on Women and girls safe spaces for COVID-19 UNICEF (2020) Practical tips on engaging Adolescents and Youth in the COVID-19 response [Online] [Accessed July 2020] Girl Shine  Safeguarding considerations for keeping in contact with girls during Covid WPE Podcast on responding to women and girls during COVID-19

Humanitarian settings refer to a place where there has been a man-made or natural disaster. When these disasters strike, populations are often forced to leave their communities or country, and are forced to resettle. While people indeed need food, shelter, and water in humanitarian settings, there are also special reproductive health needs that women and adolescent girls face. Julianne Deitch with the Women's Refugee Commission (WRC) sits down with us to talk about these specific reproductive health needs for adolescent girls in humanitarian settings. Support the show (https://www.reprosfightback.com/take-action#donate)

When Mary Pipher first published Reviving Ophelia in 1994, she changed the way America thinks about teenage girls and their needs. Now she’s back with a new 25th anniversary edition of her landmark book—this time, published with her own daughter, Sara Pipher Gilliam. From student debt to school shootings to climate change to digital culture, a lot has changed for teen girls in the past 25 years. But many things remain the same: body image issues, anxiety, sexual harassment and abuse. We sat down with Pipher (who you may remember from the spring, when she came on to discuss [women, friendship, and aging](link to ep)) and Gilliam to talk about what teen girls experience today, what it was like to write a book together, and why it matters so much for all of us that we change our “girl-poisoning culture.” There’s a strange way in which girls today are never together and never alone. And so the primary building blocks of self—which is to be interacting face-to-face with other people and to be alone reflecting and developing one’s own inner strength—those aren’t occurring right now. Mary Pipher, co-author of Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls, 25th Anniversary Edition We chat about: How the culture we remember as teen girls in the ‘90s is so very different for teens today Why depression among teen girls has gone up and down over the years, where it stands now, and what social media has to do with it How Sara Gilliam went from reading her mom’s book for teen authenticity 25 years ago to co-authoring the update with her as an adult The ways today’s teen girls helped update Reviving Ophelia for modern times How it’s too late for parents and teachers to simply tell teens to stop using smartphones, so it’s important to encourage intentionality around social media and device usage instead Links: Reviving Ophelia 25th Anniversary Edition Mary Pipher Sara Pipher Gilliam Plus: Why we simply had to get our driver’s licenses immediately Exploring the love/hate relationship we had with our early jobs Why you need to wear at least two hemp necklaces for school pictures Fuck yeah to naps and Netflix breaks during the day

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.

Karline Brathwaite and I are discussing self-harm and depression among adolescent girls. This is a phenomenon that mental health professionals are seeing at alarming rates in Trinidad and Tobago. Recovering from depression and self-harm can be can be a long process. It's important to be gentle and patient with ourselves if we are having these struggles. If you know someone managing self-harm and depression, giving unconditional, nonjudgmental support is the best way you can help. We are currently accepting applications for our next 8-week therapeutic group for girls ages 15-18 who are coping with self-harm and depression.

On today's episode of On The Spot, we sit down with the incredible powerhouse Lolis Garcia-Baab, Movement Media Director and Spokesperson at Girl Scouts USA (https://www.girlscouts.org/). As the Movement Media Director, she is responsible for planning, directing and managing all the marketing and communications of the council. Lolis has a history of helping young women; prior to joining the Girl Scouts, she helped found a conference called the Girls Now! Conference after her daughter was being bullied in school and she couldn't find any adequate resources or assistance to help. This one-day event explores the issued of bullying, body image and being a girl. "I think that raising another human being is probably the greatest calling that another human being can have. I think it’s also the hardest job I’ve ever had. And the most thankless." Lolis earned her BA in Liberal Arts and her BS in Communications, and one of her first jobs was as a radio host for a radio show called "The Ladies Room with Lolis." She thought there was something missing in the radio community: a woman's touch. Because she lived in both Mexico and the US, Lolis has a strong understanding of the Latino culture and its impact on mainstream society. "For me, the superpower for women is to see the big picture." Key Takeaways: "I do think that women have this unique ability to see the world through the prism of what’s good for my family, what good for my community, what’s good for the world." You can purchase the book Lolis mentions, Reviving Ophelia: Saving the Selves of Adolescent Girls, here on Amazon!

There’s much talk of “empathy” in today’s politics, but it’s a cramped, weaponized form of empathy — an empathy designed to force us to grudgingly tolerate each other, or an empathy used to explain away the reasons we hurt each other.You can glimpse something better in the space Anna Sale creates on the WNYC podcast Death, Sex, and Money. Her show is, in this moment, powerful; the empathy she extends to her guests feels real and deep; the conversations she holds are bracingly difficult while still being honest and kind.Sale, it turns out, developed the idea for Death, Sex, and Money when she was a reporter covering politics, shouting questions at Anthony Weiner, crisscrossing the campaign trail. As we discuss in this podcast, that’s no accident.Sale and I talk about what she learned covering politics, as well as how she’d cover it if she were to do it again today. We dive into her interviewing technique — you’ll hear her turn it on me more than once — and the wonderful story behind her marriage, in which former Sen. Alan Simpson plays an unexpected but crucial role. We talk about death, about religion, and about what she learned from Bill Withers.

We hear a lot about "girl power," but in many ways our culture disempowers girls. How so? According to Dr. Laura Choate, author of Swimming Upstream: Parenting Girls for Resilience in a Toxic Culture, our culture (through stylized clothes, toys, dance classes, TV, movies, pop stars, etc.) teaches girls that they have to "define their worth and value in their appearance. And not just being thin and beautiful, but also being as hot and sexy as possible." Annie talks with Dr. Choate about how parents can make deliberate choices to help their daughters grow into strong resilience young women in spite of the messages of the broader culture. About Laura Choate (@drlaurachoate) Dr. Laura Choate holds the Jo Ellen Levy Yates Endowed Professorship in the College of Human Sciences and Education at Louisiana State University. She has 15 years of experience as a counselor educator at LSU and 16 years as a licensed professional counselor. Her books include Adolescent Girls in Distress: A Guide to Mental Health Treatment and Prevention and Swimming Upstream: Parenting Girls for Resilience in a Toxic Culture.

One of the biggest challenges for adolescent girls is developing an effective sense of self amid the sexualizing gaze of popular culture, their peers, and society at large. There is now evidence that the everyday process of contending with, and placating, this sexualizing gaze imposes cognitive costs that can negatively impact girls' performance on the kinds of mentally demanding tasks required to excel in school and the workplace. In this episode of Into the Fold, Dr. Rebecca Bigler, professor of psychology at The University of Texas, discusses her recent study, in which a sample of adolescent girls is asked to conduct a mock news broadcast, and its compelling finding that the preoccupation with being "hot" (i.e. conventionally attractive, feminine and sexually available) can come at the expense of job-related performance.

This is The Empowerment Show on Blog Talk Radio's Featured World of Ink Network. Irene Roth is the host of this show as well as an author, editor, and freelance writer. She has published an empowerment for teens entitled "Seasons of Empowerment for Adolescent Girls" and also has a picture book published entitled "Courage." Learn more about the host at https://irenesroth.wordpress.com This week on The Empowerent Show Irene Roth and Traci McDonald will be chatting about if we as adults are overscheduling our teens. When kids and teens complain of being overscheduled and overwhelmed, we should definitely pause to take a new look at our lives and reprioritize them. Our kids are way too young to feel overscheduled. And if we, as parents, teach them that it is okay, or worse, meritorious to be busy all the time, we can be setting them up for a life time of exhaustion and lack of success. Not only that but they will feel dissatisfied and stressed out all the time. Here are a few questions to ask yourself and your teens or kids: What does your child enjoy? Does she/he enjoy playing sports? What kind of sport? Does your teen enjoy music/dancing? What type does she/he enjoy? Does your teen do extracurricular activities? Does your child/teen feel overwhelmed at school? The World of Ink Network brings you shows each week on topics such as books, writing, interviews, self-help, empowerment, families and much more.
