Getting started in sobriety is hard. Is the fun over forever? Do you have to label yourself now? Are people going to judge you? How will you fill up your time? In this special episode I am joined by Amanda White from the Recovered-ish Podcast, Casey Davidson from the Hello Someday Podcast, and Suzanne Warye from the Sober Mom Life Podcast where we discuss our experience with taking breaks or doing sober month-long challenges, how we got accountability in the beginning, what prevented us from realizing that we needed to quit for good, what helped us the most when we first quit drinking, and our advice for anyone getting started now.

Netflix is at it again! Recently, Netflix has released several new adaptations of kids' books, and I am here for it. Lyle, Lyle Crocodile was originally released in the theater and, I'll confess, isn't my favorite. But Lockwood & Co, a series about British teen ghost hunters that's based on a book series, is fantastic. And since The Magician's Elephant, which just came out this week, is based on a book by the wonderful Kate DiCamillo, I have high hopes for this animated film.   NOTE: Lockwood & Co. is excellent, but it's not for little kids. It's pretty creepy, and while every family is different, I'd say it's best for 12-13 and older. I personally, as a grown adult, found some scenes a little scary! As always, I recommend consulting Common Sense Media to help you make decisions about what to watch.   With all that in mind, and some scheduling issues making new episodes a struggle over here, I thought it was the perfect time to bring back an episode from last year. In episode #113, I was once again joined by my friend (and friend of the show) Latasha Ferguson, a speaker, writer, podcast host, educator, and mom. She's super knowledgeable about movies and books for kids, plus super fun too!   And of course, because this is The Couch, where rabbit trails and side notes are always welcome, we'll also get into coffee, other podcasts, and something called a “15-minute rule.” It's a good one to enjoy again this year, so let's get started!   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: The full list of TV or movie adaptations based on children's books   ALSO MENTIONED: The Couch Podcast episode #70 with Latasha Ferguson (about what to stream right now) The Couch Podcast episode #52 with Amanda White (more about children's book's adaptations) The Couch Podcast episode #108 with Tasha Jun & Michelle Reyes (about Turning Red) Matilda Everything Everything Peter Rabbit Paddington Grace P.

Alright, friends. Today's episode is all about Dry January, a topic near and dear to my heart, and who better to discuss with than Amanda White. Amanda is the founder and director of Therapy for Women's Center, and author of Not Drinking Tonight: A Guide to Creating A Sober Life You Love and she dedicates the best thing she's ever done for herself to her sobriety. So, as we dive into the year of YOU, today, Heather talks with Amanda about setting boundaries with drinking, how to engage in self-care and how saying no to others can lead you to saying yes to yourself and the things you care about. This is one of the most personal and compelling conversations I've had to date on Make Me Known and I am so thrilled to share Amanda's story with all of you. Whether you are in Dry January as we speak, contemplating sobriety or, simply reevaluating your drinking habits, I am certain you'll love this chat as much as I did.

Psychologists Off The Clock: A Psychology Podcast About The Science And Practice Of Living Well

Alcohol is a pervasive part of many of our lives, but have you ever questioned your relationship with alcohol? Taking an honest look at the way we use alcohol can be a powerful tool in identifying our motivations behind drinking, allowing us to make more conscious decisions and better manage our consumption.  Therapist, Author, and Founder of Therapy for Women, Amanda E. White is determined to challenge the traditional “black-and-white” outlook on “alcoholism” by encouraging people to unlock a deeper understanding of their relationship with alcohol.  Exploring practices from Amanda's books Not Drinking Tonight, A Guide to Creating A Sober Life and Not Drinking Tonight: The Workbook: A Clinician's Guide to Helping Clients Examine Their Relationship with Alcohol, we examine how to identify the purpose alcohol serves in your life and how to use this knowledge to recognize patterns of unhealthy behavior, develop boundaries and create a healthier lifestyle.  Listen and Learn:  Amanda's own journey with alcohol  Why people don't have the language to explore their relationship with alcohol Why Amanda's books are geared toward people who don't necessarily meet the criteria for an alcohol use disorder Why the black-and-white mentality of alcohol is problematic What makes us feel obligated to give the right reason for not drinking alcohol How therapists can examine the issue of alcohol use with their own patients Why do emotional relationships with alcohol make it increasingly harder to cut ties  Why Amanda coined the term ‘disordered drinking' How mindfulness practices can be helpful for people who want to change their drinking habits The importance of self-care in cutting down or quitting drinking  What to do if we think a loved one's relationship with alcohol is problematic, but they don't agree or they don't see it Resources:  Learn more about Amanda and her work here: https://amandaewhite.com/ If you are looking for modern approaches to therapy, visit Therapy for Women: https://therapyforwomencenter.com/  You can buy both of Amanda's books here: Not Drinking Tonight, A Guide to Creating A Sober Life: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9780306925856 and Not Drinking Tonight: The Workbook: A Clinician's Guide to Helping Clients Examine Their Relationship with Alcohol: https://bookshop.org/a/30734/9781683735519 Follow Amanda on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/therapyforwomen/ About Amanda E.

Orlando Landlords Sue County Over Rent Cap Proposal

Orlando landlords are suing Orange County, Florida, to challenge a rent cap proposal that's headed for the November ballot. Attorneys for two major real estate groups filed the lawsuit in mid-August and are seeking an injunction to keep it from going before voters. They say the proposal violates state law which bans rent control under most circumstances.Hi, I'm Kathy Fettke and this is Real Estate News for Investors. If you like our podcast, please subscribe and leave us a review. If the measure is approved, it would not apply to single-family rentals or vacation homes. It would only apply to multi-family units, and cap any rent increases to the rate of inflation as determined by the Consumer Price Index. The ordinance would last one year, and would need to be renewed by another vote to continue.But there's a very high bar that the county must reach to get this approved. According to state law, a city or jurisdiction must prove there's a housing emergency and that rent control would solve the problem before it can impose any kind of rent control.Ballot Measure Approved by Slim MarginIn a 5 to 4 vote, county commissioners approved the ballot measure about a week before the lawsuit was filed. It was discussed and debated four times before it went to a vote. Both tenants and landlords went before the commission to argue their sides of the situation.Tenants cited skyrocketing rents that many say they can no longer afford. Landlords argued that higher tax bills, insurance premiums, and other expenses are forcing them to increase rents.Landlords Say Rent Control Will Make Matters WorseFlorida Apartment Association representative, Amanda White, told the Orlando Sentinel that the proposed ordinance is “fundamentally flawed.” She says: “It is unfortunate that a majority of the Orange County Commissioners disregarded (state) law and instead moved to place this measure on the ballot.”The CEO of the Florida Realtors group, Margy Grant, told the Sentinel: “Studies show that rent control has unintended consequences that can make matters worse.” She says: “A better solution would be to pursue public-private partnerships that result in more affordable housing units.”Orange County Mayor Jerry Demings voted against the proposal, saying it will probably trigger a lawsuit that would be difficult for the county to defend because of the state law. And he was right. The county now faces a lawsuit, and attorneys representing the plaintiffs want to fast track the case to get the issue resolved before the election.Tenants Say They Can't Afford Rent IncreasesAmong the arguments offered by tenants and rent-cap supporters is a 32% average increase in rent over a two-year span, from June of 2020 to June of this year. The average rent went from $1,357 to $1,799, according to rent-tracker CoStar.Tenant advocates also cited a high level of requests for rental assistance in Orange County. It was reportedly more than $200 million in federal, state, and local rental assistance funds, and the most among all of the counties in Florida.This is the first time that a local government in Florida has tried to impose rent control since the state law against rent control took effect. Lawyers arguing against the proposal say: “It is extremely unlikely that the shortcomings of the current residential rental market in Orange County… be deemed the type of dire emergency which must exist before a local government in Florida can adopt an enforceable rent control ordinance.” Of course, this lawsuit is being closely watched by other jurisdictions. A headline in another publication asks whether Miami will be next. The city of Miami Beach does have rent control that was implemented back in the 60's and 70's before the state law was passed.

I first found Amanda White on Instagram, as she's the therapist behind Therapy For Women - a popular Instagram mental health group. But then I learned more about her. Her book came out early in 2022:  NOT DRINKING TONIGHT: A Guide to Creating a Sober Life You Love, where she calls herself a retired-party-girl-turned-therapist. She became sober herself in her early 20's, but speaks candidly how frightened she was to do so - that suddenly she'd be the one left out, the one that's weird or simply not "fun." She encourages others to consider how any addiction you might have, but especially alcohol addiction, may be creeping up on you. The pandemic has certainly caused many to find escape in booze - with many drinking more than 14% of their normal, and women's drinking increased by 41%. Amanda also has many years of treating those who are trying to decrease or stop their drinking completely, having founded The Therapy For Women Center in Philadelphia. Her work has been featured in dozens of publications including The Washington Post, Forbes, Shape, Women's Health, and more  She wants you to not only figure out the true "why," and more importantly, when and how to set boundaries around your choices - maybe even how to be the one "not drinking tonight." Her book is NOT DRINKING TONIGHT: A Guide to Creating a Sober Life You Love, retired-party-girl-turned-therapist Amanda White does just that. I've read it and heard wonderful wisdom.
