Podcasts about no more mean girls

Today, we're going there We have electric cars, working on travel to mars and AI generated renderings of my kids who haven't been born yet,  But for whatever reason, we can't seem to evolve out of the mean girls phenomenon.  It's a topic that I feel has been danced around long enough, and due in part by the massive amounts of those asking for advice around this very topic, I figured, enough with the dancing.  Time to cut straight to it- calling out the mean girl spirit so that ultimately we can end this cycle once and for all.  If you came for tea, well hon, I'm afraid you might be part of the problem.  But hopefully- by the end of the episode, you'll be a part of the solution....   

In this week's episode I talk to child and adolescent psychotherapist, Katie Hurley about her brand new book ‘The Stress-Buster Workbook for Kids' which I have absolutely loved reading and learning from. Stress and anxiety isn't something just adults experience, children do too, so the earlier we can educate them on useful coping skills and techniques, the better! In this episode we discuss the following; The importance of fresh and engaging ideas to reel in kidsThe different types of stress - good stress, toxic stress, mini stressOur window of tolerance, our emotions always go up and down everyday How picturing someone's grandma can help children understand how to be kindThe ‘Take 5' grounding techniqueMindfulness and multitaskingWhat is a dream disc? And how does it help kids at night?The truth behind creative brains having trouble at night timeHow to set boundariesNo is a complete sentenceHow the pandemic made us lose our boundariesHow Katie rests and rechargesAbout The Guest: Katie Hurley, LCSWKatie Hurley, LCSW, is a child and adolescent psychotherapist and the author of five books, including her award winning No More Mean Girls and her latest release, The Stress-Buster Workbook for Kids.​​Website - www.practicalkatie.comTwitter - @katiefhurleyInstagram - @katiefhurley And remember, don't forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!About The Host - Janine HalloranJanine Halloran is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, an author, a speaker, an entrepreneur and a mom.

And so it begins. Name calling, teasing, whispers, dirty looks. Tricks of the bully business as old as the ages, and it is still as shocking and sad for all involved the day it begins for our kids. Bully behavior is happening earlier and earlier these days, with the help of the internet and social media, so how can we teach our kids how to prepare and handle this hurtful behavior from the start? This week, Cyla explains a bit of how this started for her and shares some tips on how to cope from a kids perspective. We also tap into resources from our favs, A Kids Book About Bullying by Elizabeth Tom for more insight. Grown ups of girls can also learn how to apply real world techniques from the incredibly helpful book No More Mean Girls, written by child and adolescent psychotherapist Katie Hurley. Grab your kids and listen in. Together, let's remind them to treat others how they wish to be treated and that kindness really does make the world go ‘round._______________________________________________________________If you like what you hear, we'd love to connect directly with you!

Let's welcome Melanie Pump back to Brave Women at Work! I asked Melanie to come back on to talk with me about the mean girl's environment. You know the one. It's when a fellow female colleague says something backbiting in a meeting or doesn't support you if you get a promotion or if something great happens at work? I don't know about you, but I have personally experienced this before and it stinks. It's definitely not encouraging to say the least. Here's the great news! Melanie and I have both experienced a shift away from this. We have seen women supporting one another more than ever! Hopefully, you have experienced that as well. During our conversation, we touch on: - What the mean girl environment is - Why it doesn't serve us to foster this type of environment personally or professionally - What we can do to better support one another - The benefits of women supporting other women Resources: Brave Women at Work: https://www.bravewomenatwork.com/ Brave Women at Work FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/bravewomenatwork Episode #41 with Melanie Pump: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/ep-41-detox-your-workplace-with-melanie-pump/id1547856593?i=1000537826638 Melanie Pump: https://www.melaniepump.com/

Hey besties, thank you for being here and listening. Today we discuss being a mean girl/being disliked by mean girls or people in general. You don't have to love people to be kind and you don't have to allow the negative impact of someone else or a situation to make you negative towards others.

Special Guest: Sue Scheff In today’s digitally driven world, disaster is only a click away. This is the written on the front flap of my next guest’s new book, Shame Nation. On this podcast, we’ve talked about the good and bad of the digital world- it can be a place of immense resource and positive education- we had a great discussion about learning and leading in a digital world with Eric Sheninger- and it can also be a home of aggression, misuse and the ugliness of humanity- from talking about bullying with Carrie Goldman and dignity and social aggression with Rosalind Wiseman. We have a few coming up like Katie Hurley talking about No More Mean Girls and a few others so, as parents, we know about the need for parental controls and the need for safety discussions regarding predators and who is friending you on social media. But my next guest brings to light a whole other segment of discussion that happens every day on the internet and can be like a runaway train if you don’t catch it before it gets out of control- online shaming.

As parents, nothing breaks our heart more completely than seeing our child stressed, depressed, and anxious. Our impulse is to activate our “fix it” mode. But our way of fixing it often isn’t what our kids need. Instead, they need us to listen, empathize, and ask, “How can I help? That’s according to Katie Hurley, a child and adolescent psychotherapist and the award-winning author of No More Mean Girls and The Happy Kid Handbook. Katie joins us to explain the differences between stress and anxiety, and how each can appear in young kids, tweens, and teenagers. She shares practical advice on how to help kids overcome Zoom-related anxiety and brain drain, stay calm, and breathe. Listen to this episode to learn: -Why we need to be hyper-aware (especially during the COVID-19 pandemic) of how easily our kids absorb our own fears, worries, and stress -The difference between a child that’s an “internalizer” versus an “externalizer” of stress and anxiety, and how age and gender play a role in how they respond -Coping mechanisms (like deep breathing, visualization exercises, and stress balls) and mobile apps (like Stop, Breathe & Think Kids and Calm) that help kids make mindfulness and relaxation a habit -Why taking walks, shutting off the news, and teletherapy are great ways for parents to stay centered right now -Technology, gaming, social media, and devices: are they making our kids miserable or adding value to their lives? -Advice on guiding teens to make smart, responsible media consumption choices and how to help them find accurate information (not “fake news” on YouTube) For more information, visit https://practicalkatie.com/

Braces Myths (0:00:00) Statistics are showing that more adults are wearing braces than ever before. But even though so many of us have them, it can be difficult to separate fact from fiction when trying to straighten our teeth. How much should we be paying? How often should we see the dentist? How do we know if our kids need braces yet or not? Dr. Steven J. Moravec is the owner of Moravec Orthodontics, and he joins us to help clear up some myths surrounding braces.   Facebook Likes (0:12:59) You just took the most amazing photo of your dog playing in the leaves in your backyard, so of course you are going to post it on Facebook and Instagram! But then you notice your friend also posted a similar picture, and somehow their post is getting waaaaaay more likes than yours. What the heck!? We've all been there, and it can be a huge hit on our self-esteem. Social media companies, like Facebook, are trying to combat this competitive aspect of their platforms. Recently Facebook started testing a new program in Australia that would hide the amount of likes a friend's post received. But will these new initiatives really make us feel better? Tchiki Davis, author of upcoming book “Outsmart Your Smartphone,” joins us today to explain to us why social media affects us so much and how we can develop a healthy relationship with our phones.   Prepping Cars for Winter (0:34:44) Driving in the winter can either be a nightmare or no big deal at all, but it's all up to you and how you prepare your car for the conditions. Jamie Deaton, the executive editor of U.S News Best Cars, joins us today to share how we can be safe and prepared for driving in the snow.   No More Mean Girls (0:50:35) You may have seen the teen comedy “Mean Girls” orlaughed atthe memes that quote lines from that movie that are all over the internet. The snobby high school popular girl character is seen in almost all the media our daughters consume,but do you ever think about how your daughters are affected by the real “mean girl” attitude? Psychotherapist and author Katie Hurley joins us today to share how we can raise strong, confident, and compassionate girls in today's cut-throat world of comparison.   Digital Business Tips (1:08:05) Do you ever feel so behind the times? With constant new technological advancements and inventions, it's so hard to keep up. But, especially if you're in the business world, keeping up is important. So how can we make sure we're technologically relevant? Dr. Gail Ferreira is the author of "Leading the Agile Enterprise," a book about agile transformation in business with technology. We thought she'd be the perfect person to talk to about how we can be technologically relevant.   The Moth (1:25:49) If you're like me, you love a good story. Either telling a good story, or hearing a good story can lift your mood, give you a sense of belonging, and hopefully share in a moral or lesson about life. The art of storytelling comes naturally to some, and that is precisely what the team at The Moth is looking for. The Moth, a weekly podcast dedicated to storytellers and story-lovers alike, brings people to the stage to share their own personal stories live and without notes! We are joined today by Michelle Jalowski, a producer for The Moth.

Steve Moravec gives tips for getting braces, Tchiki Davis explains proper social media use, Jamie Deaton talks about preparing cars for winter, Katie Hurley discusses building empathy in girls, Gail Ferreira gives digital business tips, Michelle Jalowski teaches how to tell a better story.

It’s sad, but true. Young girls can be very mean, but what can we do about it? Katie Hurley, LCSW, author of No More Mean Girls: The Secret to Raising Strong, Confident, and Compassionate Girls joins me to discuss this and other important developmental concerns. In Part 2 of my conversation with Katie, we discuss the profound impact of sleep deprivation (spoiler alert: your kids may not have anxiety or ADHD, they may actually just be sleep deprived!), the uber competitive nature of sports today, the “culture of busy,” and the three most important needs of the developing brain. We also delve into the debate surrounding praise (are kids receiving too much or too little praise?) and why you need to assess your child’s “self-esteem baseline.”www.drkarin.me

Girls can be mean—very mean. And in this modern era, “mean girl” dynamics start in the primary grades—or even preschool! Katie Hurley, author of No More Mean Girls: The Secret to Raising Strong, Confident, and Compassionate Girls, joins me to share practical strategies for empowering girls! Learn the cognitive distortions that affect self-esteem and how to teach girls more realistic and positive ways of thinking. Find out what Katie believes is behind “girl drama” and what parents can do to equip their daughters to thrive in a variety of social contexts. We delve into research on SEL (social and emotional learning) and discover how it impacts not only social skills, but academic achievement as well! Finally, Katie provides the latest research on combatting bullying—we learn what really works!

Dr. Dan welcomes psychotherapist Katie Hurley LCSW to the podcast today for a provocative discussion of the mean girl culture, how we can raise strong girls, and the release of her book NO MORE MEAN GIRLS, now available in paperback.  http://practicalkatie.com/about/   Dr. Dan and Katie start the show tackling the topics of anxiety and depression and go on to discuss mean girls, bullying, and advice for parents on how to help their young daughters navigate tricky territories such as friendship building, creating an authentic self, standing up for themselves and others, and expressing themselves in a healthy way. In addition, Dr. Dan and Katie focus on the importance of how parents can model good behavior on social media (and digital habits), the power of the LIKE button, “fear of missing out” and more ways Parent Footprint is working to building a more compassionate, happy, and healthy world. Katie answers questions including: Why did you write NO MORE MEAN GIRLS? What is mean behavior vs. bullying? How does social media impact our kids’ behavior and happiness? What age should parents monitor hurtful peer behavior? Why should children use “I feel” statements and scripts? How can today’s children and teens conquer peer pressure? At the end of the show Katie gives listeners the one piece of advice all parents need to conquer mean friends and then shares a terrific Parent Footprint moment story to beautifully wrap-up this must-listen to episode. Katie Hurley, LCSW, is a child and adolescent psychotherapist, parenting expert, and writer. She is the founder of "Girls Can!" empowerment groups for girls between ages 5-11 and  is the author of No More Mean Girls, The Happy Kid Handbook, and her work can be found in The Washington Post, PBS Parents, and US News and World Report, among other places.

For this episode we welcome child and adolescent psychotherapist, Katie Hurley, back to the show. We first heard from Katie way back on episode 31 when we discussed her insightful book, The Happy Kid Handbook: How to Raise Joyful Children in a Stressful World. Her new book is called No More Mean Girls: The Secret to Raising Strong, Confident and Compassionate Girls. Katie explains that she's seeing a pattern of Mean-Girl behaviour we typically associate with high school or middle school cropping up more often in the elementary years. We talk about why when girls are flourishing academically are they engaged in toxic competition with one another, and critically, what we can do about it. Show Notes Love our work?

"My book is about raising confident and compassionate girls. I’ve been working with girls in therapy and in groups for almost 20 years now and I’ve seen a lot of changes in girlhood. One thing that I started to notice about 10 years ago was that the mean girl phenomenon seemed to be starting younger and younger."

Special Guest: Sue Scheff In today's digitally driven world, disaster is only a click away. This is the written on the front flap of my next guest's new book, Shame Nation. On this podcast, we've talked about the good and bad of the digital world- it can be a place of immense resource and positive education- we had a great discussion about learning and leading in a digital world with Eric Sheninger- and it can also be a home of aggression, misuse and the ugliness of humanity- from talking about bullying with Carrie Goldman and dignity and social aggression with Rosalind Wiseman. We have a few coming up like Katie Hurley talking about No More Mean Girls and a few others so, as parents, we know about the need for parental controls and the need for safety discussions regarding predators and who is friending you on social media. But my next guest brings to light a whole other segment of discussion that happens every day on the internet and can be like a runaway train if you don't catch it before it gets out of control- online shaming.
