Many parents face a child who may say "I want to die."  How do we handle something like that?  Especially when the path for support isn't exactly clear.  Is it a rant and offhand remark similar to "you're ruining my life!"?   Or, does this indicate emotional distress which I need to address? How can I address it?   Please share our podcast with others, if you know someone facing this issue.   Katie and Sharoya speak with Jodi Harris, LCSW, on supporting your child's mental health when you are at Post.   Jodi Harris, LCSW (she/her/hers) office: 434-202-4080 www.virginiafamilytherapy.com   Sharoya Hamm, M.Ed Parent Coach https://www.embracebehaviorchange.com/   Katie Fowle, M.Ed Reading Specialist https://learningtoflourish.org/  

In this episode of the True Love Knots, our guest is Jodi Harris. She is the CEO of fun at Sight & Sound Events. Jodi is one of the top DJs you can find in Las Vegas. She is an award-winning event planner that comes from the broadcasting and television industry in New York. Today, Jodi shares her knowledge about being a DJ, emceeing, how important programming is, and the current trends. She will also share how her company works during events. Standout Quotes: “DJs bring the fun, and we create those magical moments.” [Jodi] “The hardest part of our job is being a high-energy emcee.”[Jodi] “The last private dances are an intimate moment for couples.”[Jodi] “You've got to know how to program and keep the genre together.[Jodi] “If you have Spotify or Apple Music, whatever it is, start putting together a playlist of your favorite songs and then share that with the DJ.” “When the couple completely trusts us, then we're going to have the most amazing wedding on the face of the planet.”[Jodi] “TikTok and pop culture affect what's happening in the world.”[Jodi] Key Takeaways: At an event, the thing that most people remember is the dancing, music, and fun. Therefore, having a DJ is important because they bring entertainment—plus, it is much more affordable. If you are an emcee, you must know how to say things. The current trend in the bridal parties is the last private dances. There are three parts to a wedding reception; first the cocktail hour, second is the dinner hour, and the last is the party mode. You need to know how to program all three and keep the genre together. Sight & Sound created a QR code for people to request their songs anonymously. Many trends nowadays involve uplight room decoration and monograms. Episode Timeline: [0:57] Meet today's guest, “Jodi Harris,” a top DJ in Las Vegas. [2:49] What does a DJ do at an event?

Pinxav. As Jodi tells us, her grandparents started Pinxav in the 1920's, and it was such a useful product it's now being used by families all over the nation. Jodi, who is also a mom, tells us about her familial roots in Ohio, how the company was started and continued by her family, and how she's renewed Pinxav's image on social media to bring it into 2023.Then I talk to NOLA's new State Senator for District 5, Royce Duplessis. We chat about the worrying crime in NOLA and the French Quarter, and we get real and talk about our frustration over the safety of our city. We also discuss how State Sen.

Being connected to those around us improves the physical and mental health of both us parents and our kids. But many parents lack this sense of community or feel like they have to work incredibly hard to develop one. This is especially true for folks who move around a lot, like families of US Foreign Service Officers. Making new friends and developing a community while constantly starting anew is challenging, exhausting but also rewarding and life-giving. Our expert guest today is Jodi Harris (LCSW). Together with her husband and children, she lived in seven countries in fifteen years. As part of Virginia Family Therapy, Jodi is helping head up our international team offering therapy to those connected to US embassies abroad and in the States.  Jodi is a true expert on the highs and lows of putting yourself out there with new people, being vulnerable, asking for help, and knowing when it's time to lean into yourself and your family. The strategies she shares for building community resonate with those relocating abroad as well as those who haven't moved in years. In this episode on developing community abroad or at home, we discuss: The most important pieces of making friends (abroad or at home); Putting yourself out there and playing the yes-game; The importance of really knowing and understanding yourself in order to find likeminded people; Being vulnerable and honest with yourself and others; Acknowledging everyone's personal preferences in developing community; And much more!
