Could the war between Israel and Hamas spill into neighboring regions? We get the latest on the conflict from Elliot Tepper, Senior Fellow from the ‘Norman Paterson School of International Affairs' at Carleton University.    Are you feeling a little extra rested today or are you having a tough time keeping your eyes open? We catch up with Dr. Ted Jablonski, our ‘on-call' family physician to talk about ‘Daylight Saving Time', specifically, if a one-hour ‘disruption' in our regular sleep schedule can have any significant impact on our health and well-being.    Finally, we often focus on home renovations to make our space feel more ‘welcoming' and comfortable, but have you ever thought about your ‘emotional environment' and what it takes to maintain ‘mental stability' and harmony in your home? We discuss this interesting concept with Calgary-based Author and Speaker, Connie Jakab. 

Want to make the world a better place but come home to children experiencing anxiety or depression?  Not sure what to do?  Feeling overwhelmed with the weight of creating a better world and also figuring out how to support your own children in their own mental health journey? Right now anxiety and depression are on the rise in America, and it is starting earlier and earlier than we ever understood before.  Join us as we welcome mental health advocate, community organizer, public school assembly speaker, and train-the-trainer coach, Connie Jakab as she tells us her story through parenting, anxiety and depression, and what she is now doing to make an practical impact in her community!  She also shares some self-care tricks she practices for her own wellbeing!  You won't want to miss this. 

We begin with a discussion surrounding Breast Cancer, on this, “Breast Cancer Awareness Month”. We speak with Kelly Wilson Cull, from the Canadian Cancer society, about the ‘state' of Breast Cancer in Canada and the advancements that have been made in both research and treatment. It is national “Depression Screening Week”. We hear about a valuable screening tool available online for Calgarians, and the many resources offered up by the Calgary Counseling Centre.   Finally, it's another edition of “Motivational Monday”. This time out, we meet local Author, Speaker and Mom, Connie Jakab. Connie shares with us three “tips” on the importance of “showing up” in your life – and her thoughts on the importance of ‘self care'. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

After working in schools for over 20 years in mental health and resilience, Connie talks about the importance of bringing the hurting closer, rather than pushing them away. Learn more about this episode on our BRAND NEW website: www.mothersofmisfits.com

Join me as I have a beautiful conversation with multi faceted Author, Speaker, Artist and recent winner of the Universal Womens Network Health and Wellness Award- Connie Jakab, Creator of the Brave Parent Institute. We share our love for community and our connection to faith! She shares her journey of being a mom in challenging times and how she's inspiring families through the Brave Parent Institute and her book " Bring them Closer" "...In an age when anxiety, depression, and suicide in children is at an all-time high, Bring Them Closer is a beacon of hope." —Leah Everson (MDiv), Public Speaker and Writer "...While there's no quick fix, or a one-size-fits-all approach, I'm convinced that the stories and principles in this book will be of great encouragement, and great help to those who read it..." —Andrew Neufeld, Registered Clinical Counsellor, Co-Founder and Executive Director of Alongside You Our kids are not okay. The children and youth mental health crisis is at an all-time high. Anxiety and depression are skyrocketing. Over the last ten years, there has been a 55% increase in the hospitalization of children and youth due to mental health concerns, and many parents are at a loss for how to deal with some of the issues their children are struggling with. In Bring Them Closer, author Connie Jakab shares her own experiences with her son, who went from being hospitalized due to suicidal threats at the tender age of eight, to overcoming his anxiety and depression. She digs deeper into questions like: What does the idea “you never send the hurting away; you bring them closer” really look like? How do we create a connection with our children, so they live healed and whole? How do we see our children free of anxiety, depression, and behavioural issues? Bring Them Closer will provide parents with tools that can help their families deal with the challenges of parenting a child who deals with mental health difficulties as well as offer some preventive measures that can keep them from happening in the first place.

Connie Jakab has spent over 20 years working in the field of resiliency. ​She is an author, speaker, coach, theater producer and hip hop dancer! ​When Connie’s son was six years old he was diagnosed with a broad range of mental health issues. Connie and her husband felt helpless, until a councilor gave them advice that changed the way they viewed mental health forever.  ​In this interview Connie shares her personal story and provides expert advice on resiliency in the face of COVID-19.  We also delve into relationships and how to keep them healthy and happy during quarantine.

Guest, Connie Jakab

We are excited to welcome Connie Jakab for episode 75, a local entrepreneur, an agent of change for a healthy culture and mental health. Our society is sick, our young people are defining themselves by their anxieties and depressions rather than strengths and passions.  Where did this come from and what can we do to change it, as a family, as a community and as a society? You'll find out on today's show.   You'll also get connected to an abundance of resources to support in creating thriving children and relationships.  Enjoy the episode.
