Saying I love you for the first time, being responsible for almost getting your grandparents shot, and jamming up Jesse Ventura. --- Presented by MacroSound

Check out Becki's YouTube channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCTG10qvgLMRSoB9OIc6xNxA You can find her on Facebook and Instagram, too! Becki Biermaier everybodylookup@gmail.com EPISODE TRANSCRIPT INTRO: You are not here by accident. You are here by design. And you are here to find courage in the face of fear, to replace isolation with connection, to push back that feeling of overwhelm and to start feeling confident. And you know how you're going to do it? By listening to other people's stories. There's no better way to feed your soul and raise your vibration and shift your mindset than to hear the stories of those who have gone before you. I'm your host, Lori Lynn, also known as Her Royal Excitedness and I invite you to Rise and Climb. Lori Lynn: Welcome to another episode of Rise and Climb with your host, Lori Lynn. Our guest today is Becki Biermaier, Becki and I met about 20 years ago at a party with a mutual friend and we had this instant connection and I was like, "I think I found my new best friend." Becki Biermaier: Yeah, that's exactly how it was because when we left I was like, we just talked straight for five hours. I was at a party with like a hundred people and only talked to one person and then we were like: "Do you wanna get together tomorrow? What are you doing?" "Yeah, absolutely. Let's go hang out." And here we are almost 20 years later doing that. Lori: Becki is one of the people that I admire most. She is the Queen of Overcoming. Um, Becki grew up as a little person. Becki: (laughs) And still am. Lori: She grew up to about three and a half feet tall. When my three kids made it past three and a half feet, they all felt like they achieved something great. They were taller than Auntie Becki. Becki: Absolutely. Lori: One of the things that I have enjoyed most about being friends with Becki is, um, I feel like I should talk to you. I feel like we should have a conversation. So I'm going to stop talking to my listening audience and I'm just going to let you guys have a window into our conversation so that I can stop talking about her in third person. Becki: Lord, help the listening audience to track with us. Lori: Well, one of the beautiful things about having you as one of my best friends is how intentional you are. I would love for you to share some of the stories about how intentional your parents were and then how that led up to today and how you interact with kids and strangers and my kids -- how you're able to basically impact and educate people just all over the globe now on ways to handle situations with people who are disabled, who look different, who do things differently and just really normalize it and just make it like, you know, this is just how different people do different things. And how cool is that? Like God made us all different and isn't that beautiful? Um, so can you talk to me a little bit about like little, little Becki? Becki: Absolutely. Um, growing up my parents were average height and my oldest brother has diastrophic dwarfism, which is what I have as well. And then the next brother is average type. And then there's me, it's a hidden recessive gene that we have in our family. So it could go back as far as like biblical times. And Mom and dad were obviously at the children's hospital a lot with us and saw children being raised all ends of the spectrum. So there were kids who were extremely spoiled because mom and dad felt guilty and tried to overcompensate for disability. And then you had parents who were just raising normal kids and even though they were disabled, they weren't treated any differently. And they very much saw this huge divide of these kids who were over compensated for being spoiled brats and the kids who are being treated like average height kids are average, you know, um, non-disabled kids were turning out great. And so that's what they decided to do. And one of my favorite stories is growing up. We had a fall day, probably mid October, so the leaves were down here in Minnesota and mom and dad said on the night before, you know, everybody cancel your Saturday morning plans because we've got something different for you to do tomorrow. We all got up, had to be in the yard at like 8:00 AM. And, uh, they divided our backyard into three equal portions. And so my dwarf brother had a portion, my average-height brother had one and then of course I did. And they said the three of you are going to rake the yard and you're only responsible for your personal portion and it's going to take, you know, Mike and Becki the longest being disabled, but you guys need to see that you can do the exact same job that your average height brother can do. It's just you're going to have to go at it differently and it's going to take you longer. But that is how all of life is going to be for you. You're going to have to prove yourself. And so today you can, and they said, you know, tonight your feet are going to be super sore but dad and I will rub your feet and we'll give you some Ibuprofen and soak your feet so they feel better and today we'll give you breaks and things like that. They also said, you know, your other brother, he is not required to help you. He can if he wants to, but when his portion is finished, he's free to move on and go and play. And um, and so we got busy and of course my average-height brother finished right away. It didn't take him long and he helped Michael for about 10 minutes and me for 10 minutes. And I know a lot of people when I tell that story, they're like, gosh, that's really cruel for your parents to do that to you -- making handicapped kids rake the yard, you know. But it was actually one of the better things they could have done for us because I really did see at the end of the day, I can do what other people can do. I just have to go about it differently. And it may take me longer, but I can do just as good of a job. And that was one of the main lessons that really stood out to me when we were growing up. Lori: Wow. Well, I know you've told me the story about having to like clean up after dinner. Would you tell the that as well? Becki: Yeah, it was crazy because you know, chores. We all had the same chore rotation that you know, tall kids have except for obviously I didn't have to mow the lawn thankfully, but my dwarf brother, he did. And he was told just to figure it out and not in a cold way, but in a way of like, you can figure this out. And so I remember one night, it was my night, I was probably seven or so, so they had me starting on the after dinner rotation of clearing the table, putting away leftovers, throwing all the dishes. And I said, well, how am I going to get the dishes off the table? I'm not even as tall as the table. And just with great confidence they say, you know what? You are a very, very smart, smart girl. And if you're not sure you can ask the Lord and quite your heart and listen for a strategy and God will show you what to do because someday you're going to be a woman and you're going to have your own house and your own kitchen table in your own guests. And you'll have to figure this out. So let's do it now where we can practice at home and if you get stuck, we'll be in the next room. If you need ideas or you just feel like you need somebody to brainstorm with. So off they went. I think they were probably watching Wheel of Fortune and (still, that's what we watch as family -- how is Pat Sajak that old?) But anyway, I did what they said. You know, I quieted my heart and asked the Lord for help. "God, show me how am I going to get these dishes off this table." And literally I just thought of this idea of climbing up on the table, pushing the dishes to the perimeter, getting down from the table. Now, with everything, you know, serving dishes at all, right at the perimeter, I could easily carry them over to the kitchen from the dining room, drag a chair over, and do the dishes. And when I couldn't the silver out at the bottom in the sink and I tried everything. I did call my mom and I was like, "Mom, I need you to do the silverware," which was kind of me wanting to be rescued. And I love what she did because she was intentional. She said, how about if I brainstorm with you how you can do the silverware? And so she said, do you see anything around you that will help you reach the silverware from the bottom of the sink? And of course at this time I'm tired and I don't want to be doing dishes anymore. And I said, no. And she said, well, look closer. And there was a ladle that was already drying in the drying rack. And so we decided I would try that, and sure enough, the ladle worked and I could use the ladle to push the silverware up the side of the sink so I could grab them. The only thing I couldn't get out were the sharp knives. That didn't work so well. But she was glad to help me with those. And then tell me how proud she was that I had figured things out and she said, you know, someday when you have sharp knives, um, and I'm not there to get them out for you. You'll have to really think about a solution that'll work for you and maybe we can work on that. Even now, start praying, brainstorming ideas. And so stories like that where they were loving, they were kind, but they did not at all take away my, um, need to be a problem solver and they did not rob me of that. And I think that's one thing today parents can do is they just want to fix everything for their child and that doesn't serve them well in the long run. Let them struggle it out. Let us fail. But greater than that, let them see that they can be victorious on their own. If they can do it, let them do it. Lori: Yeah, I love the whole, you know, you're a smart kid. You'll figure it out. Um, I've used a lot of that, a lot of that in my own parenting. Um, you told me a story this weekend about a boy in your class who is really struggling and, um, I would love for you to share that story just because I feel like it kind of goes hand in hand with your parents believing in you and that really, um, oh, what is the word I'm looking for? Like galvanizing your belief in yourself. Um, eventually moved from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Nashville, Tennessee. Right. Completely on your own there. 19 years for 19 years. Um, but I feel like you're able to then turn around and impart that to other people and so would you mind, talking about the kid in your class? Becki: Yeah, this past year (I've been teaching for over 20 years and different times I've been principal or head of school, but it's great to be back in the classroom). And this year I had a boy in my class who just was so pressured by his parents for good grades and he was also, you know, really shall we say behaviorally challenged. And just was really struggling and trying to please mom and dad and battling with himself with, he'd rather be obnoxious kid who didn't do his work and just that struggle that happens in middle school so often and he really needed to have a good grade and just wasn't feeling confident. And I said, no, just study extra this weekend cause I really think you can do this one. It is a really hard test but you're smart enough for it. And if you study I think you'll surprise yourself but you're not going to get a natural A on this when you're going to have to really work. And um, you know, I go home and I do the weekend and don't even think twice about it. We come in Monday and he takes his test. I happen to turn it around in class and at grade it and it's sitting on my desk and he comes up to my desk to ask me a question and sees that he had gotten 98% on this test and he was so excited. And so this kid who is one of the ringleaders of the bullies is just like this giddy little boy, which is probably who he truly is on the inside. And he says, can I take a picture of this on my phone so I can text it to my dad? And I was like, absolutely, absolutely. And of course, you know, at school, no phones allowed, right? But in that moment, this little boy who truly is a little boy, even though he's a teenager, would know he could make his dad proud and he felt proud because he really pushed himself any overcame. So I let him take a picture of the grade and texted off to his dad. And, um, it was just a really sweet, sweet reminder of, you know, all you gotta do is believe in somebody and give them a little push because boy, don't we all have enough people telling us we can't, but let's find a few who tell us we can. Lori: No, it's beautiful. I love that. So when you are out and about in public and you encounter people who are not intentional about kind of normalizing um, you know, disabilities and you know, just people who look different or have different abilities or different ways of having to do things. How do you handle when like if a kid is staring at you or says something out loud parent or super awkward. Becki: Can I tell you a really funny story? So back in Nashville, I'm headed to this great pizza place, Pie in the Sky, and I am on foot, I'm not on my mobility scooter. And so I go into the restaurant, I'm the first one there with my friends and I say of course to the hostess, I'm going to need a table for four please. And she said, sure, give me just a second. Well across the restaurant is this very, very curious and surprised four year old boy, let me guess, he's around four and he sees me and he yells while he is pointing, "Mama! Look! A real life puppet!" In front of the whole restaurant. I just think that's really adorable. I mean that is like, that's pretty amazing, is really cute, you know? And of course it's my job to make sure he's comfortable and I want him to have a really great grade, all of those things. So I smile really big, big at him and then I wave and he goes me, which is amazing and I'm totally laughing inside. Mom, however, wasn't finding it as amusing as I did and she was smacking the kid on the head and saying, "Shut up, shut up, shut up," knocking him down in the booth. Really what I would have loved to do is go over to her and say, please don't do that. Please, please don't do that. Because I think that is why shame is so attached to disability. It's because the parents themselves are embarrassed by the children's behavior, but that's not what the child is translating. That's not what they're getting out of it. Right? They're getting out of it. Shame on you for, you know, the whole situation with a disabled person and it translates into disability being known with shame. And I think that's the wrong approach. So better is the parent who says, yes, I see that person over there in a wheelchair or I see that that man is using sign language or that man has no arms. And just politely say that and say, yeah, God makes everybody different. And sometimes that's just enough and the kid can, you know, move on. But it does require some times that parents actually take the initiative and bring the child over and say, you know, we noticed that you're writing in a really cool wheelchair and this is my son Joey. And can we ask you some questions? Because majority of disabled people want that and we're happy to say yes, that'd be great because we want you to have a positive experience. And so we're prepared for that. We obviously chose to go out with public. We know that we looked different and so we kind of expect that now you do randomly, you know, run into, you know, sister crabby pants or whatever. Everybody has a bad day. My job is to engage with the child and you as the parent can even just say: Tell us about your wheelchair. How fast can you go? Or tell us about the cool things that you've learned to do without having arms. Can we ask you how you brush your hair or things like that. Because then what you're doing is you're creating a new normal for your child that disability isn't a bad thing. It's just a different thing. And so you're setting your child up to have a great experience. The other thing is if you can try to keep them from hiding behind you and so at least make them come out and say hello while they're absorbed, absorbing everything that's happening around them because they're taking in all of it and they may not be able to do more than just watch. And that's okay too. When they're like four or five, three, four or five older than that, you really shouldn't expect your children to engage more in conversation and for the parents to lead the way. That's really the way to go with that. Yeah. Good stuff. So when it's done right, it's positive for everybody. Lori: Okay. You had talked about a little bit even showing pictures and oh my gosh. Have you seen, what is it called? The Butterfly Circus? No. Oh Becki, we're gonna have to watch that later. Yeah, it's a short film. It's so beautiful. But that would be an excellent example of something to share with your kids before encountering people who have, you know, I don't know deafness or loss of limbs or something like that. And I actually have resources available for parents then if they email me, it's very user friendly for parents to walk with their kids through at home to help prepare them for having good positive encounters with disabled people. And it's easy enough to print off just a few sheets that will help you know how to train your children I head of time, so you're not stuck in one of those horribly embarrassing moments. Becki: And so it really teaches parents how to help prepare and then how to provide conversation starters with disabled people. And then after the encounter, how to help your child process, what they just experienced. So I do have that available that I can get to families easily. Lori: How do they get that? Becki: Email me, everybodylookup@gmail.com and I can email you back and I can attach what you need for that. Lori: So everybodylookup@gmail.com. Awesome. And I know you've got some videos too that are great resources. Yeah. What is the name of your Youtube Channel? Becki: I believe it's Everybody Look Up. I should check that. Or you can just search for Becki Biermaier. Lori: And how do you spell your name? B. I. E. R M. A. I . E. R. And Becki has an I. Not a Y because I was an 80's child and all the girls in sixth grade, we all decided to get a rid of our Y's. Turn them into I's. So Shelli with an I. Becki with an I. Lori I'm Lori with an I. Well our final question of course we have to like dial down, go deep, do some soul searching for the final answer to the biggest question. And that is what is your favorite Karaoke song? Becki: If you ever catch me doing karaoke, please carry me off to the hospital because something must be seriously wrong if I'm ever in that moment. I never a great visual artists. Yeah. You know, my only hope could be that there would be something on stage that's three and a half feet tall that I could hide behind. Um, but I guess I would have to go with "Jesse's Girl" by Rick Springfield because he was supposed to be my husband. I had a poster on my wall and I, I really thought if you just had the chance to meet me, he would totally marry me. Now I don't know who Jesse is and I certainly don't want his girl. He can keep her, but it is a song that I, I know through and through. So I guess my karaoke choice would be "Jesse's Girl" by Rick Springfield. This is why we're friends. Love it. What's your song? I gotta know this one cause you know the night is young. It's actually not. We're approaching 11 o'clock the night is young for a young people ending for old people like us. It's true. I shouldn't get in the shower and tend to go out. I know. It's so crazy. [inaudible] started at like 11 o'clock and now we're like, hey, it's almost 11 o'clock where's my sleepy time tea. I'll knit a few rows, turning the bed with my heating pad, take my medication. (Laughs). All right, Lori, close us out. What's your favorite karaoke song? Lori: All right. Well, I don't sing, but I like to rap. Becki: Oh. Oh my gosh. 20 years. How did I not know this? Lori: And my husband ... Becki: Yes? Lori: Was supposed to be LL Cool J. Becki: Oh, you guys would be so great together. Lori: Let me tell you why. Because -- all right, so my ex-husband is named James Todd. Right? Okay. LL Cool J? His name is James Todd Smith. And the girl who lived on the next street over that was like my honorary daughter? Her last name was Smith. Oh my gosh. I was so close. And I'm Lori Lynn -- LL -- Becki: Look at all these conditions. Let's go out with you and your rapper soon to be husband and go sing Karaoke. And what will you be singing or rapping? Lori: "I Need Love." Literally. (Laughs) Becki: I think this is where we end the podcast. Probably better on some blue eye shadow and I'll meet you in the car. Lori Lynn Outro: Thanks for listening.
