Reimagining Love
Family of Origin Roles Series: The Parentified Child (From Confidant to Consultant)

Reimagining Love

Today's episode is part of a solo series on Reimagining Love about Family of Origin Roles (a.k.a. FOO roles). We're exploring how the roles we were cast into as children and held within our family systems shape how we show up in our relationships today. Whether you were the one who held the family together, the rebel who pushed back against household norms, or the “easy” kid who flew under the radar, we all inhabited a position in the community of our family and absorbed certain messages about love, connection, and worthiness as a result. Check out the introductory episode of the series if you missed it! All previous role-specific episodes are also linked below.We're taking a look at “The Parentified Child” role in today's episode. The child cast into this role likely heard that they were “so mature,” “wise beyond their years,” or were praised for their comforting presence when they were growing up. The problem? Kids shouldn't have to provide emotional support to the adults in their family. Unfortunately for the Parentified Child, this felt like the surest route to safety and love, perhaps due to a chaotic environment, overwhelmed parents, or conflict in the family system. As an adult, the Parentified Child carries with them a certain set of beliefs and tendencies that they picked up as a kid in this role. Does this sound like you, or someone you love? Listen to the episode to learn more about this role and how The Parentified Child can free themselves from always taking on others' needs and create more egalitarian relationships that feel safe and nourishing.Relevant links:Reimagining Love episode with Dr. Hillary McBride: Getting Present: Tuning Into Your Body with Dr. Hillary McBrideReimagining Love series: “I Love My Partner, But Their Family is Toxic”: Part 1, Part 2Girlhood Interrupted: The Erasure of Black Girls' Childhood (Rebecca Epstein, Jamilia J.

Friends, today we're diving deep into the heart of our favorite topic: inclusion! We chat about the barriers preventing true inclusion and we're challenging societal norms and asking the important questions about what defines human worth. What kind of person gets to be celebrated? What kind of person with Down syndrome gets to be celebrated? We explore the buzzword status of “inclusion,” the role of privilege in accessing support and services, and so much more. As we navigate this journey, we recognize the honor and burden of advocating for a more inclusive world. Progress in inclusion is happening, but are we truly championing the essence of every individual? Is the current system promoting equal access and opportunities?

In some families, there is an individual who needs more care and attention than others. There are a number of reasons why this might be the case, including a difference in ability, a behavioral challenge, or a mental health condition. In any case, the “struggling one” is the recipient of a lot of the family system's energy, and this dynamic may lead to certain challenges and strengths for that person in adulthood.

Send Kira a text message!In theater and in the arts world, self advocacy can feel almost impossible, especially for artists who so often feel they're replaceable. In a lot of ways, that assumption is true and something we as an industry need to work on changing. Being able to advocate for yourself helps lay the groundwork for inclusion. Waiting to advocate for yourself can lead to a lot more stress, tension, and negative things that make communication difficult. And it leads to issues that can't make for an inclusive environment where people feel safe or supported or empowered. I recently had a personal experience that made me really stop and consider the best way to advocate for our needs without feeling like you're being difficult or rude. I have a way into this conversation that might sound like it's not theater related, but I encourage you to go with me on this.

Self-advocacy by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities has become a big part of the disability movement's approach to this part of our community. Essentially it means that people with intellectual and developmental disabilities can and should be supported to speak for themselves, help make policy, serve on boards, and more. Sadly, too often organizations use the term “Self Advocate” simply to get grants or “street cred”. Today's guest, Brittanie Hernandez-Wilson, helped make Self-Advocacy more than a “buzz word” when she was the Equity and Justice Director, at the ARC Minnesota. Hear her explain what it takes to transform disability organizations into places that are truly representative of and accountable to the communities they serve. This program was produced by Jacob Lesner-Buxton, hosted by Shelley Berman, and edited by Denny Daughters and Dominick Trevethan.

BJ Stasio is an advocate and activist based in Buffalo, New York. He is passionate about advocating for disability rights and improving the lives of individuals with disabilities. BJ relies on personal care attendants and self-direction support staff to support him in his daily activities and advocacy work. He is dedicated to giving back to the community and believes in the power of storytelling to create positive change.Episode Summary:In this episode of DSP Talk, host Gina Scarpa interviews BJ Stasio, an advocate and activist who receives support from a provider organization in Buffalo, New York. BJ shares his interests, such as football and taking naps, and discusses the supports he relies on to live the life he wants. He highlights the importance of having dedicated direct support professionals (DSPs) who understand his advocacy work and respect his autonomy. BJ also emphasizes the need for better wages and recognition for DSPs in the caring field. Throughout the conversation, BJ's passion for advocacy and his appreciation for the DSPs in his life shine through.Key Takeaways:BJ Stasio relies on personal care attendants and self-direction support staff to support him in his daily activities and advocacy work.A great DSP is someone who understands the importance of advocacy, supports the individual's goals, and encourages self-care.DSPs should not speak for an individual but rather provide support in the background, allowing the individual to advocate for themselves.Wages and labor classification for DSPs are important issues that need to be addressed to recognize their value and contribution to the caring field.Advocates should tell their stories and work together to create positive change for individuals with disabilities.Notable Quotes:"One thing that is important for [you] to say now is, thank you for what you do for me. It's important to know [they/DSPs] are valued.” - BJ Stasio"[My DSPs] are dedicated to my mission of advocating for others, but at the same time, helping me realize that I need to take care of myself, too, because self-care is important." - BJ Stasio“I always believe it's important to give back because of all those people who have helped me have the life that I want” - BJ Stasio"Important issues that are on the table, of course, are the wages and the labor classification that DSP should have with the federal government to be recognized as a part of the caring field." - BJ Stasio"The future for me is limitless… Tell your story, because it does matter." - BJ StasioResources:SANYS: Self-Advocacy Association of New York State - SANYS: Self-Advocacy Association of NYSThe Office for People with Developmental Disabilities Self-Direction - Self-Direction | Office for People With Developmental Disabilities (ny.gov)The Regional Center for Workforce Transformation - Regional Centers for Workforce Transformation | Code of Ethics & Core Competencies for Direct Support ProfessionalsTo listen to the full episode and gain more insights from BJ Stasio's advocacy journey and the importance of DSPs in his life, tune in to the DSP Talk podcast.

Have you ever felt dismissed by a healthcare professional when discussing your symptoms? What strategies can women use to advocate for themselves in the face of gaslighting?WARNING: This episode may contain discussions of medical trauma, sexual assault, and gaslighting within the healthcare system. If you're sensitive to these topics or feeling vulnerable, please listen with care, or feel free to skip this episode.Today, Philip (@witsandweights) invited two women from the Wits & Weights community, Elizabeth and Brienne, who have firsthand experience with medical gaslighting and will share their stories. Liz, a medical professional herself, will share her journey of fighting for a hypothyroidism diagnosis at a young age when doctors didn't believe it was possible. And Bree will detail her decade-long battle with mysterious symptoms before finally getting to the root of her hormone issues. They also talk about the incredible resilience and self-advocacy of women like Liz and Bree, who had to fight for the care they deserved.

Friends, today we're diving deep into the heart of our favorite topic: inclusion! We chat about the barriers preventing true inclusion and we're challenging societal norms and asking the important questions about what defines human worth. What kind of person gets to be celebrated? What kind of person with Down syndrome gets to be celebrated? We explore the buzzword status of “inclusion,” the role of privilege in accessing support and services, and so much more. As we navigate this journey, we recognize the honor and burden of advocating for a more inclusive world. Progress in inclusion is happening, but are we truly championing the essence of every individual? Is the current system promoting equal access and opportunities? We're asking all the questions, you don't want to miss this thought-provoking episode! --- SHOW NOTES Learn more about regional assembly member Mar Galcerán's! Other episodes to check out: 17.

Throwback Episode 208. Growing Through Uncomfortable Conversations (w/Ashley - TLFP Producer & Self-Advocate - Originally aired 5/23/23) Friends, we recognize and appreciate that so many of you come to us for our open, honest, and candid conversations week after week. After seeing the response Heather was receiving over on @theluckyfewoffical under a post that she wouldn't be celebrating an abled person asking a disabled person to prom, we knew this topic deserved another conversation. We also knew the conversation deserved to include a person with disabilities. Our producer and self-advocate Ashley Fraccalossi joins us for this candid conversation on honoring people with disabilities and when that line can get blurred or crossed. She helps break down with us what inspiration p*rn means in the disabled community, unconscious bias, and how her own experiences with disability have shaped her views on this topic. We're grateful to not only hear from her today, but to continue this important conversation with all of you. May we all continue to learn, listen, and grow from conversations like this together. --- SHOW NOTES We first talked about this topic on EP 169 ⁠The Harm in Using People with Disabilities As "Inspiration" in Clickbait Viral Videos⁠ Learn more about ⁠unconscious bias⁠ Watch ⁠Stella Young's Ted Talk⁠ Read Heather's blog post, ⁠“Why Kindness and Good Intentions Are Not Enough”⁠ DISCOUNT CODE Friends, grab your narrative shifting gear over on ⁠The Lucky Few Merch Shop⁠ and use code PODCAST for 10% off!
