Many of the issues that plagued the young people of America decades ago–binge drinking, drunken driving, teenage pregnancy, smoking, to name a few–have greatly declined in significance.  But in their place we have witnessed a seemingly ever-deepening mental health crisis amongst our youth, one partly rooted, as our guests tell us, in a rise of anxiety.   The directors of “Anxious Nation,” Laura Morton and Vanessa Roth, join Mike to explain how their own family experiences drove them to engage with this essential topic.  In their film they explore the deep roots of anxiety–not only on the personal level of family dynamics, but reaching far into our evolutionary past.  And they explain as well many of the current accelerants of the endemic anxiety experienced by our children.  Finally, they broach ways to alleviate the suffering for the kids and for their parents:  While none are a magic bullet, families can find methods and tools to help manage anxiety, and ultimately can seek solace in activities that can provide a deeper meaning and a resulting perspective on their daily struggles.     The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.   Follow: @vanessarothdoc on twitter @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter

Laura Morton, Filmmaker SLIFF joins Tom and Carol talking about documentary "Anxious Nation" that airs today at St Louis International Film Festival.

'Anxious Nation' Brings to Light a Hidden Epidemic Effecting the American Youth at Newport Beach Film Festival. Having its world premiere yesterday, Saturday, October 15, 2023 at the Newport Beach Film Festival and receiving a second screening on Thursday, October 20th at 7:30 p.m., 'Anxious Nation' shines a light on the hidden pandemic of youth anxiety that has been troubling American kids for decades. Originally started as a Facebook post by Producer, Writer and Co-Directly, Laura Morton regarding her daughter's issues with anxiety, 'Anxious Nation' took on a life of its own as parents who felt alone now had a conversation in what could be done to help their children. Statistics are showing that Suicide rates among 15-24 year-olds have tripled since the 1950s and is the 2nd most common cause of death among college students, as 70% of teens between the ages of 13 to 17 view anxiety and depression as a major problem, while 50% of 18-22 year-olds feel lonelier and more isolated than seniors 72 and older. As Morton was able to begin formulating the documentary and conducting interviews for 'Anxious Nation' she had only one director in mind who could take this feature to the next level and that was Academy Award Winner, Vanessa Roth. Roth was initially hesitant about taking on the project as she was dealing with anxiety within her own household at the time and felt it was too personal a subject to be objective in its delivery. However, as time progressed and Morton forged forward, Roth came along to direct the project making 'Anxious Nation' a subject needing to be discussed, especially when during the height of Covid, society could no longer ignore this epidemic. Once word about 'Anxious Nation' came to fruition, Super Model, Actress, Humanitarian and mother, Kathy Ireland came on board to present the documentary to the world. Along with leading experts and personal accounts, we learn that there is no one particular factor that leads to anxiety in our youth. Causes can be from familiar pressures, social media addiction, bullying and information overload that can stress anyone out if not handled with carefully. Listen to our red carpet interviews with Laura Morton, Vanessa Roth and Kathy Ireland above regarding 'Anxious Nation'. 'Anxious Nation' has a second showing at Newport Beach Film Festival on Thursday, October 20, 2023 at 7:30 p.m. at The Lot in Theater 3. #AnxiousNation #Anxiety #Depression #Documentary #Interview #Review #NewportBeachFilmFest #NBFF2022 #NBFF22 #NBFF #FanboyNation

For Episode 9 of the Creative Impact Podcast, I have the joy of introducing you to one of my teachers and mentors, Laura Morton. Laura serves as an Associate Professor of Dance and Director of the Ballet Division at Belhaven University in Jackson, MS. She has traveled nationally and internationally performing professionally, teaching, and choreographing. Laura and I talk about what it was like as educators ending the Spring 2020 semester during the pandemic, and we contemplate how dance could be impacted by this shift in our society. Laura shares about her journey in dance. Her path began with a pursuit of professional ballet, moved to teaching aerobics in the 1980's, then to jazz dance and eventually led her to a career in teaching at the collegiate level. Laura explains how she never thought she would become a teacher, let alone a professor in higher education.Laura’s passion for teaching is evident, and she shares valuable insights for teachers as she explains her own journey and teaching philosophy. Laura’s background includes a degree in Psychology and a Master of Science in Applied Exercise Physiology. To increase longevity as a dancer, Laura recommends working with the body you have and understanding the power of thoughts in performance. Laura reminds us that while dance takes discipline, it should also be full of joy!Check out our website http://creativeimpactpodcast.com for the full show notes that include Laura's full biography and links mentioned in this episode.

Dustin Plantholt’s “Life’s Tough—You Can Be Tougher” podcast this week is sponsored by Mint Home Loans and features Jerry Springer, renowned American television host, politician, news presenter, actor, producer, musician, and former lawyer. Springer revolutionized daytime TV with his ultra-popular show, The Jerry Springer Show, a daytime talk show featuring controversial topics and outrageous guest behavior. Springer currently hosts a courtroom show called Judge Jerry where he presides over actual legal disputes. Gerald Norman “Jerry” Springer was born on February 13, 1944 in London, England to Jewish refugees—Margot Kallmann, a bank clerk and Richard Springer, owner of a shoe shop—who escaped Nazi Germany to avoid persecution. Other family members, including his paternal grandmother, were not as fortunate as they perished in concentration camps during the holocaust. In January 1949, Jerry’s family immigrated to the United States, settling in Kew Gardens, Queens, New York. He attended Forest Hills High School and later earned a B.A. degree from Tulane University in 1965, majoring in political science; and subsequently earned a law degree from Northwestern University School of Law in Chicago in 1968. One of his earliest memories about current and political events was when he was 12 and watching the 1956 Democratic National Convention on television where he saw and was impressed by John F. Kennedy. That interest in politics led him to work on the presidential campaign of Robert F. Kennedy, after graduating law school. After Kennedy’s assassination, he joined the Cincinnati law firm of Frost & Jacobs (now Frost Brown Todd) and then became a partner in the law firm of Grinker, Sudman & Springer (from 1973 to 1985). In the early 1970s Jerry embarked on his own political career in Ohio, serving on Cincinnati’s city council. Not without some career lows, he was forced to resign from the council over a controversial issue, although he regained his seat at the next election. Despite being a liberal in relatively conservative Cincinnati, he was elected mayor of the city in 1977 (served 1977–78). After a failed bid in the early 1980’s for the Democratic nomination for governor of Ohio he decided to pursue television journalism and began work as a reporter at a local television station. He later became anchor and was the recipient of seven Emmy Awards for commentaries during his tenure. In 1991 he branched out into talk shows with the debut of The Jerry Springer Show. Initially centered on political issues—guests included Oliver North and Jesse Jackson, and topics included homelessness and gun politics—the program struggled in its first few seasons. In early 1994, the show underwent a complete overhaul as Springer and his new producer, Richard Dominick, revamped the show’s format to garner higher ratings. Guests were everyday people confronted on a television stage by controversial situations that often promoted shouting or violence on stage. Although criticized by some as being staged and condemned by many political and community leaders as “trash TV,” it proved immensely popular with television viewers and received substantial ratings and much attention. By 1998, it was beating The Oprah Winfrey Show in many cities, and was reaching more than 6.7 million viewers. The show even inspired an opera—debuting in London in 2003—which won a Laurence Olivier Award for best new musical; and was subsequently staged in various U.S. cities. Other career highlights include being named “One of the 10 Most Fascinating People” in 1998; an appearance on the popular show Dancing With the Stars in 2006; Winner, 2008 Fox Reality Channel Really Award for “Favorite Host” for America’s Got Talent; playing Billy Flynn in the Broadway theatrical production of “Chicago;” host of the 2008 Miss Universe Pageant. In 1998 Jerry starred in the movie Ringmaster, which was based on a Springer-esque television show. His other film credits include Citizen Verdict (2003) and The Defender (2004), in which he played the president of the United States. He has also made several TV appearances as himself and has acted in several television sitcoms. His autobiography, Ringmaster! (written with Laura Morton), was published in 1998. And as a self-described “country singer-songwriter,” Jerry has opened for Billy Ray Cyrus and has performed at actor Johnny Depp’s notorious club, the Viper Room. Springer is married and is a lifelong New York Yankees fan. Join Dustin and Jerry for a candid talk on his successful and sometimes controversial career and how he maintains clarity and peace amongst criticism and judgement. As Jerry says, “I think technology has changed the way we see things. Human behavior has not changed in the last 3,000 years. There is nothing that has ever been on our show that isn’t in the Bible, that isn’t in literature, that isn’t in Shakespeare.”

Kate Sanner, host of Moving Forward, interviews Laura Morton who is running for Judge of the Circuit Court Carroll County MD. In the podcast, Morton talks about the function of the Circuit Court, the role of the Judge of the Circuit Court, the need for a Judge to have trial experience and knowledge of her community and of community resources that can help break the cycle of recidivism and repeated incarceration and keep our communities safe. She also discusses how her experience as a trial attorney for over 23 years makes her the most qualified candidate for Judge of the Circuit Court Carroll County.
