In this show, Dr. Diane Ehrensaft, expert in gender research and clinical work, offers parents and professionals an insider understanding of Gender Expansive Children -The little boy who insists he is a girl, the teen who identifies as non-binary – both male and female. Dr. Ehrensaft, the author of The Gender Creative Child and Gender Born, Gender Made, clarifies the difference between gender and assigned sex at birth and explains how threads of nature, nurture and culture weave for each of us a Gender Web. Using examples, she describes a Gender Affirmative Model in which she maintains that children will reveal their authentic gender self- if we listen to what they are telling us in their behavior and words. She discusses that it is often not the gender confusion as much as the gender rejection that leaves children unsupported, unhappy and less confident.

Arna shares gracefully about her upbringing within the masculine-oriented Catholic faith, becoming a mother as a teenager, the desire to get to know herself as a woman and her powerful initiation into the sacred feminine when she was 46. She also talks about a spiritual awakening when she was 28 - after the birth of her 6th child - that involved high anxiety, strong pranic energy rushes and imposing visions of a masculine face.Arna goes on to discuss the importance of balancing the masculine and the feminine within ourselves and within relationships, using her art as a conduit to connect with herself and her true power, the need to integrate through and into our bodies, the concept of the True Earth and why we should all let go of perfectionism.Arna's gifts: The Rainbow Visualisation  The Creative Warrior: A Colouring Journal for Adults to Awaken the Creative Child; email Arna at arnabaartz@gmail.comThank you for listening, I appreciate you!

I share a meditation journey I took myself on into a memory I have as a child when I discovered I wasn't an artist. I revisited the memory as my adult self and went through a gentle reparenting process in my mind and heart to connect with younger me and gave her the support she needed back then. I offer how you can try this meditation on your own with a memory connected to being creative or being an artist from your childhood and see what you discover. Please don't do this process with any deeply traumatic events, it is important to only try this with memories that are sticky and have some pain within them but not deep pain that you may need support navigating. You know what feels safe for you and trust that as you try this healing experience. I really hope this meditation is healing for you in some way.

"This week is LGBT Health Awareness Week, a time to bring attention to the devastating cycle of discrimination and health disparities that affect lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) people.

Sydney Nycole is a singer and songwriter from Berkeley who has been making music since she was a teen. And although her father (and manager) Gary Reeves has been in the industry since the 1980s, Sydney found this passion on her own. Once it was established that Sydney, a free spirit who has no problem speaking her mind, was on the path to becoming an artist, it was on Gary to make sure he did his best to be there to support her and to know when to step back and let Sydney do her own thing. In this conversation, Gary talks about how his experiences working with the likes of Michael Jordan, Jamie Foxx and Blair Underwood informed what it's like to be a father in the entertainment industry. Sydney also offers some insight into what her father has done to help her on her path.

As the Clinical Director of the Family Therapy Institute of Santa Barbara and before that a child psychologist for forty years, Dr Mac has helped a lot of kids and families, but there came a point asking the question above of himself, sent him on a new trajectory, which continues today. Looking back on his endeavours Don, says he treasures the value of humour in bringing about change and as he found out later, music can too.   When parents have problems with their kids, the docs tell them to call the “child whisperer,” a nickname Dr Mac acquired over the years and after 30 years he decided it was time to extend his influence and share with the world the knowledge he had acquired. A question many adults can ask themselves as Don did, what are the things you know now that are valuable for the public? With that Dr Mac and his wife co-authored two highly acclaimed parenting books - How’s Your Family Really Doing? Also, Who’s the Boss?  Inspired by his meditations and study of the Course in Miracles, Don says he’s been guided to use entertainment as a vehicle for educating kids and families with creative projects. Not wanting to sit still, Don became the music director and songwriter for the PBS hit, Jay Jay the Jet Plane.  My Happy Kids Songs are an award-winning series of fifty songs and activities that build character, social and emotional skills.  Elementary School Musical, is a play he wrote which earned him the award of Best Children’s CD 2018 by Creative Child’s Magazine. For parents who want to turn things around with their spirited, strong-willed children Dr Mac has a website called Strong-WilledChild.com with a ‘few free goodies’. On another site HappyKidsSongs.com there are too, at least 3 free songs. Parents and Grandparents can also benefit. Dr Mac has come to realize that this work is the fulfillment of his purpose—to serve and make a difference in the world through sharing these tools and principles

Was your entrepreneurial dream completely different than the careers you had two masters degrees in? When you decided to go for it, did your family hold an intervention to tell you that you were nuts? Well when Michelle Dempsey quit her job as a teacher to become a blogger, this was exactly what she faced. Though instead of letting them act as deterrents, she used them as fuel to her fire and was determined to prove her family wrong, and her gut right. Now a successful and published writer, with a content marketing and brand consulting business (to name a few hats of hers); she provides lifestyle and career advice to readers with her blog, and helps clients rebrand or build their business. Through her website, Michelle Dempsey Very Well Written, visitors can learn about some of the services she provides such as: brand storytelling, digital strategy, website design, as well as copywriting and content writing. Her blog and radio show also provide free tips on marketing and rebranding with posts like, '3 Things You Can do to Boost your Brand Before Summer (And Make More Money)', and 'The 5 Ways You're Screwing Up Your Marketing Plan'. Initially, her blog and writing acted as outlet for her frustrations as a new mommy with a baby who was constantly sick, and trying to balance a career along with it. To her surprise, her blog gathered steam, and she was contacted by someone from high school who worked for Creative Child; a parenting magazine. They wanted to publish her work, and it showed her that she could make a career out of writing which had always been dear to her. Due to a rough upbringing, writing had always acted as a way to express herself. She was fascinated by the art of using words to convey emotions, and her journal was attached to her hip.  So after she saw that she could write professionally and get published, she went for it and took it up full time. She set three publication goals for herself: be published by Elite Daily, Huffington Post, and Scary Mommy. Elite Daily was her first conquest, but Huffington Post and Scary Mommy proved to be a harder task. Nonetheless, she achieved all three goals within three months! From her blog, her content and marketing business organically grew. People were impressed with how she used the media to market her blog and her personal brand, and started looking to her for her expertise. A year and a half later, she is considered the marketing guru of south Florida! She also uses her personal brand to empower women, work on personal development, productivity, and tackle the world of entrepreneurship.

I had to prove everybody wrong...and I'm finding, as I connect with entrepreneurs, that's the attitude. You have to have this insatiable drive to prove everybody wrong, to make yourself successful, and if you really believe it, it's going to happen." -Michelle Dempsey "I want to grow. I don't like being complacent...I like to think that if I made it this far, I can make it that much further...I had to make a name for myself and I think that comes from the lack of confidence and some of the things I dealt with growing up that now that the tables have turned, I want to go as hard and as far as I can." -Michelle Dempsey "The second you get comfortable, I feel like the rug is going to be pulled from up under you. You have to just believe in your craft enough to know that you're good and you're desirable and you are offering something that people should have. But at the same time, know that there's 3,000 people at your heels trying to run you down. Nobody's ever at the top, everybody wants more." -Michelle Dempsey RESOURCES Michelle Dempsey Very Well Written Michelle Dempsey LinkedIn Michelle Dempsey Facebook Michelle Dempsey Instagram Michelle Dempsey Twitter ProFemmes The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath The Secret by Rhonda Byrne Trello

The gender binary is recently giving way to gender infinity, and our youngest members of society are both driving and benefiting from this evolution. They're finding novel ways of expressing their true gender identities, whether or not those match what's on their birth certificates. But the journeys of these gender creative children are often bumpy, as they encounter psychological, physical, and even legal challenges. This all raises important question for these children's parents, teachers, doctors, and therapists, such as: What are the best ways to support these children's gender paths? How do we help them face the challenges ahead with courage and authenticity? And, perhaps most importantly, how do we deal with our own fear, ignorance, or resistance to currents of change that we don't always understand?

The gender binary is recently giving way to gender infinity, and our youngest members of society are both driving and benefiting from this evolution. They’re finding novel ways of expressing their true gender identities, whether or not those match what’s on their birth certificates. But the journeys of these gender creative children are often bumpy, as they encounter psychological, physical, and even legal challenges. This all raises important question for these children’s parents, teachers, doctors, and therapists, such as: What are the best ways to support these children’s gender paths? How do we help them face the challenges ahead with courage and authenticity? And, perhaps most importantly, how do we deal with our own fear, ignorance, or resistance to currents of change that we don’t always understand?

I created my company when my girls were ages 3 and 1 and I was trying to find something to help them get ready for school. I am not a teacher or educator, and yet I created a book used by schools. I didn't create the alphabet, numbers, colors or shapes but found a way to repackage it for parents, kids and teachers. With a telephone and a computer, I created www.cedarvalleypublishing.com. 10% of all profits are donated to literacy foundations and back to schools. By donating back to a school, they see my books and want to write grants to purchase more! I am the author and publisher of Let's Get Ready For Kindergarten! & Let's Get Ready For First Grade! Both books are award-winning, state-approved and used inside homes and schools across the nation. Created by a mom, they are currently used in over 350 school districts from Portland, Maine to Portland, Oregon and in libraries and head start programs all across the country. Parents, kids and grandparents all love them because they are not storybooks or workbooks; they are books meant to be read over and over that cover the curriculum for Kindergarten and First Grade. In fall, I will be releasing the highly anticipated Spanish/English edition of Let's Get Ready For Kindergarten! iA prepararse para kindergarten! My kids think it is hilarious that I am writing a Spanish book without being able to read or write the language. As my 7 year old says, "just hire a translator, duh, anyone can do anything!" I am a mom inspired by Oprah to change education. This has become my passion! My mantra is if two brothers from Ohio can change the face of aviation, that why can't a mom, inspired by Oprah change education at the core! Thirty-eight states are discussing all day 4 year-old Kindergarten because kids are not coming to school prepared. But where are the public service announcements telling parents the 7 things they need to know for Kindergarten testing: the alphabet all mixed up, number to 10 all mixed up, basic shapes, colors, coins, counting objects to 10 and how far they can count to 100? Schools purchase my books in bulk to help get parents, kids and teachers all be on the same page of Kindergarten and First Grade! Now I have a national platform speaking to educators, schools, parents and kids! This is a true family business!

And, as most families encounter, Nicole's baby daughter Sara eventually faced a diaper rash that would not quit. This sparked Nicole's ingenious solution: she cut the feet off of a pair of snowboarding socks and fitted Sara, from hip to ankle, with a homemade set of legwarmers. Sara was now able to be diaper-free, rash-less, crawl safely on her knees, and debut what would become a trend-setting fashion accessory. Founded in April 2005, BabyLegs is now an international company, with products in more than 50 countries. BabyLegs retail from $12 for an original pair, to $28 for Organic Merino Wool designs. BabyLegs was awarded the "2007 Best New Brand" Earnie Award by Earnshaw's for excellence in children's wear design, and recognized with the World Trade Center Tacoma's "Marco Polo" Award for pioneering trade. A few reasons parents and kids will love BabyLegs this holiday season:  Make diaper changing a breeze!  Fun and festive fashion accessory.  Promotes independence while potty training.  Keeps legs warm; great with carriers and strollers!  Protects soft knees from harsh surfaces.  For sports, playgrounds, and dance classes.  Comfortable alternative to tights.  Allows for "nakedy bottom" time!  Instant alternative to undershirt when worn on arms!  Wear over bandages to keep child from removing.  Helps little socks stay on.

And, as most families encounter, Nicole's baby daughter Sara eventually faced a diaper rash that would not quit. This sparked Nicole's ingenious solution: she cut the feet off of a pair of snowboarding socks and fitted Sara, from hip to ankle, with a homemade set of legwarmers. Sara was now able to be diaper-free, rash-less, crawl safely on her knees, and debut what would become a trend-setting fashion accessory. Founded in April 2005, BabyLegs is now an international company, with products in more than 50 countries. BabyLegs retail from $12 for an original pair, to $28 for Organic Merino Wool designs. BabyLegs was awarded the "2007 Best New Brand" Earnie Award by Earnshaw's for excellence in children's wear design, and recognized with the World Trade Center Tacoma's "Marco Polo" Award for pioneering trade. A few reasons parents and kids will love BabyLegs this holiday season:  Make diaper changing a breeze!  Fun and festive fashion accessory.  Promotes independence while potty training.  Keeps legs warm; great with carriers and strollers!  Protects soft knees from harsh surfaces.  For sports, playgrounds, and dance classes.  Comfortable alternative to tights.  Allows for "nakedy bottom" time!  Instant alternative to undershirt when worn on arms!  Wear over bandages to keep child from removing.  Helps little socks stay on.

I didn't create the alphabet, numbers, colors or shapes but found a way to repackage it for parents, kids and teachers. With a telephone and a computer, I created www.cedarvalleypublishing.com. 10% of all profits are donated to literacy foundations and back to schools.

In fall, I will be releasing the highly anticipated Spanish/English edition of Let's Get Ready For Kindergarten! iA prepararse para kindergarten!

My mantra is if two brothers from Ohio can change the face of aviation, that why can't a mom, inspired by Oprah change education at the core!

But where are the public service announcements telling parents the 7 things they need to know for Kindergarten testing: the alphabet all mixed up, number to 10 all mixed up, basic shapes, colors, coins, counting objects to 10 and how far they can count to 100? Schools purchase my books in bulk to help get parents, kids and teachers all be on the same page of Kindergarten and First Grade!

And, as most families encounter, Nicole's baby daughter Sara eventually faced a diaper rash that would not quit. This sparked Nicole's ingenious solution: she cut the feet off of a pair of snowboarding socks and fitted Sara, from hip to ankle, with a homemade set of legwarmers. Sara was now able to be diaper-free, rash-less, crawl safely on her knees, and debut what would become a trend-setting fashion accessory.

In fall, I will be releasing the highly anticipated Spanish/English edition of Let's Get Ready For Kindergarten! iA prepararse para kindergarten!
