On this episode, Paige chats with Liz Lagarde the beautiful and kind soul behind Maple Leaf Pottery. Liz shares her story of how she went from interior design student, to full time potter, to being diagnosed with ADHD and Sensory Processing Disorder (SPD) as an adult. Liz shares her own experience living with SPD and what it feels like in her own body, as well as how it created a wall that she kept bumping up against with personal relationships and with Maple Leaf Pottery. Liz would try harder to overcome certain things she was facing in her business, which would leave her feeling really upset and extremely burnt out. Thanks to therapy and some self discovery, Liz now knows how to work with her SPD instead of against it.Liz explains how with her businesses, she needs rest days, which means putting rest first before diving into work is crucial for her. Paige and Liz also chat about how creating a calm environment sets them both up for success and how occupational therapy, breath work, walks outside, and essential oils can help focus and sharpen the mind.This episode is casual, fun, educational and may or may not go off on a few tangents about babies, foster care, and overall life balance.

All behavior is a form of communication, but sometimes it can be hard to decipher what our children are communicating. When kids hit, kick, spit, punch, throw or push, parents often ask me, “is this sensory or is it behavior?” I'm here to end that debate once and for all. Well, maybe not end it, but at least help you reframe it.Because what the real question should be is “What is it my child is trying to communicate with me right now?”Listen to this episode to hear more about the sensory and behavior link. Links: Sign up for the masterclass at: www.theotbutterfly.com/masterclassTranscript/show notes at www.theotbutterfly.com/20 instagram: @TheOTButterfly www.instagram.com/theotbutterflywebsite/blog: www.theotbutterfly.comemail: LauraPetix@TheOTButterfly.com

This week on "Death in The Garden," Jake and Maren share their interview with experimental psychologist, professor, and author, Sheldon Solomon. This episode was recorded in May of 2021, but was always a seminal piece for our project: we talk about how death denying delusions are running rampant in modern culture, how the blind belief in the inevitability of progress is taking us down a dark road, and how the acceptance and awareness of our mortality can help us turn our attention to the vistas of awe and enchantment necessary to create the more beautiful world we all want to live in.  Please subscribe to our Substack to get writing accompaniments to this podcast and more, as well as a deep dive into our thoughts at the moment delivered right to your email.

So you have a sensory sensitive child who's sensitive to seams of socks, mushy textured food, messy play, or toilets flushing. What should you do? Do you accommodate every environment and task for them so they can avoid the sensory triggers altogether? Does that make them spoiled? Should you force them to get used to it? Where do you draw the line? Listen to this episode to find out how I talk about accommodating vs. exposure. Links: Transcript/show notes at www.theotbutterfly.com/19 instagram: @TheOTButterfly www.instagram.com/theotbutterflywebsite/blog: www.theotbutterfly.comemail: LauraPetix@TheOTButterfly.comwork with me: www.theotbutterfly.com/parentconsultWaitlist for Sensory W.I.S.E.

 It's so amazing how much a shift in mindset can positively impact progress in your own parenting journey as well as your neurodivergent child's journey. Sometimes we can feel like we're stuck, not making progress and we try to find all the right solutions and tricks and hacks, but what we need most is a mindset shift, or at least a mindset re-set. Links: Transcript/show notes at www.theotbutterfly.com/18 instagram: @TheOTButterfly www.instagram.com/theotbutterflywebsite/blog: www.theotbutterfly.comemail: LauraPetix@TheOTButterfly.comwork with me: www.theotbutterfly.com/parentconsultSensory WISE Solutions waitlist: www.theotbutterfly.com/waitlist  Buy me a coffee &  me a question for a future episode: www.theotbutterfly.com/coffee

One of the most common questions I get asked about is if children can have mixed thresholds, meaning seek some sensory input and be sensitive to others. The answer is yes!

Quote “The sky takes on shades of orange during sunrise and sunset, the colour that gives you hope that the sun will set only to rise again.”  Ram Charan Welcome to the Sensory Strides podcast.  Observations of the world through activity, reading, listening, and everything else. Episode 75!  Wow!  What a great trip it has been. I've been reflecting on a closeout episode for this season of Sensory Strides and I have been struggling with what that should be.  I have come to realize that Sensory Strides where it is now is not where it started. Growth in different ways than expected. I had been considering sunsetting this podcast.  I listened to episode 260 of the Bib Rave podcast and they announced that they are going to be ending their podcast after five years. BibRave This seemed to be a sign to confirm that my thoughts on sunsetting Sensory Strides and allowing myself to focus on some of my other projects. Especially those that are Girl Scout related like my Hearts of Gold podcast and the work I'm doing with Badgerland council to improve and encourage more girls to earn their Highest Awards is likely the better place for me. I'm recognizing that my mental health is just as important as my physical health, and I have been spreading myself thin. I need to focus on that which improves my mental health and that which gives me the strength and energy to be encouraged to pursue new interests.  Working with these amazing young women in Girl Scouts feeds my soul in that way. The new house is amazing and watching both the sunrises and sunsets each day have helped to allow me to relax in a different way than I have these last few years.  I look forward to the summer and sitting outside watching those amazing sunsets. Thanks for joining me.  Be sure to check our show notes for links to inspiration items and …  don't forget to stop and smell the roses.

My whole experience of motherhood has been completely different than what I had envisioned, and that's okay, but it needs to be talked about. I don't love this version of motherhood. I'm not enjoying the role I play as Mom. I miss the old me. Raising a neurodivergent child is hard. So many thoughts are unraveled in this episode, and I share a lot of vulnerable thoughts and feelings about motherhood, in an unscripted way. I also share a lot of confessions and frustrations that other moms have shared with me. Links: Transcript/show notes at www.theotbutterfly.com/16 instagram: @TheOTButterfly www.instagram.com/theotbutterflywebsite/blog: www.theotbutterfly.comemail: LauraPetix@TheOTButterfly.comwork with me: www.theotbutterfly.com/parentconsultMore SPD parent resources: www.sensorywisesolutions.com Buy me a coffee &  me a question for a future episode: www.theotbutterfly.com/coffee

In 2021, 6 million Americans have received an Alzheimer's diagnosis, with 400,000 individuals diagnosed in Texas alone.* Nearly everyone knows someone with dementia or Alzheimer's, but there are still many questions how to handle it - especially around the holidays. Senior Services Expert Lori Williams welcomes Tanesha Tyler-Carr, the program services coordinator from the Alzheimer's Association Dallas and Northeast Chapter, to do a 3-part series on Alzheimer's. She shares statistics and common misconceptions about the disease, as well as important tips for the holidays. You'll learn how to: - Prepare yourself to visit a loved one with dementia - Set boundaries and expectations with loved ones - Include them in the festivities while attending their needs If it's been a long time since you've connected with your loved one and you're unsure how to act or you're unsure how to help family members prepare, this will provide great guidelines for you. Takeaways from this episode: - Caregivers should prepare family and let them know what to expect, so the holidays are enjoyable for everyone. - You may need to modify how you interact with your loved one. Their diagnosis may change how they express themselves and relate to others. - Prepare a place away from the main action where your loved one can enjoy company on their own terms without becoming overstimulated. - Find a way to let your loved one be part of the preparations in a way that fits their desires and abilities. - Alzheimer's is a brain disease and not only impacts memory and communication, but also their senses. Keep this in mind while preparing their plate of food.

SHR # 2800:: How Does The Brain Create Our Perception Of Reality? - Dr. Heather Iriye, PhD,( Postdoctoral Fellow) - New findings from studies in both people and animals are revealing clues about how sensory information and cognitive processes interact in the brain to produce our perception of the world. The findings were presented at Neuroscience 2021, the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience and the world's largest source of emerging news about brain science and health. Sensory inputs, such as sights, sounds, and touches, yield rich information about the external world. But our perception and interpretation of sensations are heavily shaped by cognitive processes such as attention, expectation, and memory. A better understanding of the neural basis of perceptual phenomena will help clarify both ordinary experiences — such as the ability to pick a single voice out of a noisy background — and disorders in which perception is altered — such as attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, autism, schizophrenia, and Alzheimer's disease.

Few people have been as influential in adding to what we know about traditional brewing and changing how we think about fermentation and farmhouse brewing than Lars Marius Garshol. On his blog and in his books, the Norwegian author of Historical Brewing Techniques: The Lost Art of Farmhouse Brewing (https://beerandbrewing.com/editors-pick-historical-brewing-techniques/) has embraced an obsession with learning more about traditional techniques and heirloom yeasts, and that has led to some major shifts in how we understand brewing and fermentation. Besides being largely responsible for introducing kveik (https://beerandbrewing.com/brewing-with-kveik-what-have-we-learned-so-far/) and its dynamic properties to the wider world, his research has forced a needed correction in the meaning of “farmhouse brewing.” In this episode, Garshol discusses: - The rich farmhouse brewing traditions of Norway, the Baltics, and Russia - Understanding the difference between cultures and the commercially cultivated single strains - Sensory impacts of different kveik yeasts - The beers that Norwegian farmhouse brewers make with kveik - How common technology like the oven has impacted farmhouse brewing through the centuries - The vast work that's left to do in fully covering the subject of farmhouse brewing and more. *This episode is brought to you by: * G&D Chillers (https://gdchillers.com): What if you could chill your beer with a more efficient chiller?

Some children make a lot of noise as they move through their day. They tend to like big movements: bear hugs, wrestling, getting messy. Others are quieter. They can sometimes be bothered by subtle things: tags, temperature, too much light. These children might retreat if their senses get overloaded. Sensory preferences fall on a spectrum.   Jessica Rolph is accompanied by Dr. Allie Ticktin to talk about how to navigate these differences. Dr. Allie is an occupational therapist with a specialty in sensory integration and early childhood development. She is the author of Play to Progress, Lead Your Child to Success Using the Power of Sensory Play.   Key Takeaways: [2:07] Allie talks about how sensory needs can vary from child to child. [3:19] How do you know if a child's sensory needs are within the normal realm, versus when it's time to get extra support? [4:07] Why is proprioception one of Allie's favorite senses to work on?  [5:32] Allie shares tools to provide more proprioceptive input to your child. [9:25] What senses other than proprioceptive should be on a parent's radar? [11:25] How do we respect our child's need to be clean?  [13:40] Why do parents need to engage these senses for children's learning? [14:52] How can we have sensory-rich play that engages all of these senses? [15:38] What are open-ended toys and why you should choose more of those? [18:38] What is a sensory toolbox? Does it vary based on the child's needs?  [20:42] The first step is regulation; a child who is not regulated can't learn. [21:04] How can you tell if a child is playing with something or if it's helping them regulate?  [22:15] What is in the calming toolkit? [24:14] Allie's advice to parents: Allow your child the space to play and to explore.   Mentioned in this episode: Brought to you by Lovevery.com Play2Progress
