Message us here!Are you avoiding talking to your kids about topics that are just...awkward? In this episode, I chat with Dr. Elsa Friis, clinical psychologist and VP of Product at Alongside, to unpack a practical way to tackle taboo topics (sex, porn, consent, screens) without burning the bridge you're trying to build. Dr. Friis takes us from a group home with twelve boys to community-led parenting programs in Kenya, showing how cultural humility changes results. Warmth, respect, and safety are universal, but a mismatch in how love is shown fuels conflict. We dig into concrete tools: visual schedules that calm bedtime battles, shared calendars that grow autonomy, and “ice cream chats” that make awkward feel doable. We outline scripts for starting the sex conversation early, framing online exposure without shame, and setting boundaries that still invite honesty.We also explore how technology can extend, not replace, human care. Alongside for Families uses an AI wellness coach to help parents and youth practice tough conversations, build study plans, and share the right info at the right time. Teens get a private space with clear safety rails; parents receive high-level summaries and immediate alerts for risks like self-harm. Resources:Dr. Friis is giving Little Helpers a free 30 days to Alongside with the discount code FRIEND30!

Send us a textIn this powerful and entertaining episode of Coach E: Game For All Seasons, the crew—Coach E, Taboo Timmons, and Xen—dive deep into the real conversations shaping today's culture. From the rising influence of modern rap music to the hidden messages parents overlook, the team breaks down why protecting your kids' mental space is more important than ever.Taboo returns with a brand-new nose and big energy, unpacking the spiritual, lyrical, and psychological influence behind trending music—especially artists like Skrilla, NBA YoungBoy, and today's hypnotic “trance” style production. The guys debate how today's youth connect with music differently, why lyrics hit harder than beats, and how subliminal messaging in music affects kids in ways parents don't even realize.Then it gets fun with the debut of the show's newest segment: “Keep It or Bring It Back.” From Salt-N-Pepa videos, old-school video games, family road trips, Jheri curls, affordable Black fashion, and real Black sitcoms, the conversation sparks laughs, nostalgia, and some brutally honest takes about how culture has changed—for better and worse.The show concludes with Coach E delivering a Post Game Word on "Who Are You Talking To?" about about not accepting negativity from others when faced with discouragement.This episode is a mix of comedy, real talk, cultural awareness, and the type of barbershop-style debate that makes this podcast one of the most entertaining listens anywhere.

Since the Scary Stuff Podcast first started back in 2020, our love for the work of the late Keith Giffen has been mentioned time and time again. On the eve of the release of our prose superhero anthology WHERE LEGENDS WALK, which opens with a dedication to Keith, it felt like the right time to do an episode in memory of a creator whose work meant so much to us. For the first portion of this episode, we're joined by recurring pod guest (and brother of our host Jacob) Jeremiah Jones-Goldstein to discuss the 1987 DR. FATE mini-series from DC comics, pencilled by Keith Giffen and written by J.M. DeMatteis. Following that discussion, J.M. DeMatteis was kind enough to return to our podcast for an interview, talking about the 1987 mini and his memories of collaborating with Keith over many, many years. This portion begins at 01:05:48. Finally, we're delighted to be joined by first-time guest (but someone we've been hoping to chat with ever since the pod started) Brian Keene. In addition to chatting with us about his memories of Keith, we also discuss one of Keith's more horror-centric tales: "Chigger and the Man" from 1988's comic anthology TABOO. This portion begins at 02:00:45. We cannot thank our three guests enough for their time, and the resulting episode is really special to us. We very much hope you enjoy it. And as always, thanks so much for listening!

Alyson Doty and Shanae Adams, Violence Prevention Educators at the Phoenix Center at Auraria, discuss the importance of de-stigmatizing sex talk and the impact of societal taboos on self-disclosure. Through a reference to a "New Girl" clip where Jess, the main character of the show, struggles to say "penis," they highlight societal issues around discussing body part names. They emphasize that children often find it easier to use correct anatomical terms until influenced by negative associations or by being taught to use euphemisms. They discuss the significance of teaching children about their bodies and consent from a young age. Alyson and Shanae then shift to reflect on the impact of social media algorithms on language and the need for media literacy. The importance of using accurate terminology to prevent sexual assault and promote healthy sexual education is stressed all throughout the podcast as they examine the need to demystify the terminology used when discussing sex and sexual assault. Sources: Play New Girl Scene- Jess Can't Say The Word Penis | New Girl Words Matter — First Light SC I feel genuine rage when I see words like “unalive or grape” in an attempt to get past tiktok guidelines filters : r/offmychest Resources - Sex Positive Families Sex-positive parenting: What you need to know - ParentsTogether   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EvGyo1NrzTY How social media is changing how you talk | Adam Aleksic | TEDxPenn Is Social Media Censorship Unaliving Language? | Otherwords If you are in crisis and need immediate support, please call our 24/7 interpersonal violence helpline at 303-556-2255.Request an Appointment with an Advocate athttps://www.thepca.org/online-appointment-requestRequest a Violence Prevention Presentation at https://www.thepca.org/prevention-educationInstagram @phoenixauraria

Midlife pushes us to question everything—especially what we've been taught to whisper about. Dr. Jessica Zucker, Los Angeles-based psychologist and award-winning author of Normalize It, explores how silence around menstruation, menopause, body image, and grief, trauma and loss shapes women's lives. After her own traumatic 16-week pregnancy loss, she champions storytelling as a tool for connection and liberation. We dive into big questions: How does revisiting hidden stories from midlife's vantage point heal you?  How can vulnerability boost mental health and intimacy? Why to do so many women believe they must suffer in silence? Time to get loud and claim every experience that shapes you, beauties.

For the Paris-born, New York–based artist Camille Henrot, time practically never stands still. Across her work in film, drawing, painting, sculpture, installation—and soon, live performance—Henrot has developed ways of stretching and distorting time, seamlessly shifting from moments of potent, rapid-fire intensity to quiet reflection. While her work carries a theory-driven ferocity and intelligence, it's also incredibly playful. Hers is serious art that manages—often with a knowing, subtle wink—to not take itself too seriously.On this episode of Time Sensitive, Henrot considers the subjectivity of speed and slowness; previews her upcoming first-ever performance-art piece, slated to premiere in 2026 and a collaboration with the nonprofit Performa; and reflects on why, for her, a work is technically never finished. She also shares her fraught fascination with animals, childhood, and the climate crisis—the intersection of which she examines in-depth in her soon-to-debut film “In the Veins.”Special thanks to our Season 12 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Camille Henrot[4:30] RoseLee Goldberg[4:30] Performa Biennial[6:37] Buster Keaton[6:37] Tex Avery[7:03] Estelle Hoy[7:19] Adam Charlap Hyman of Charlap Hyman & Herrero[16:10] “In the Veins” (2026)[17:45] "Grosse Fatigue"[17:45] Massimiliano Gioni[38:51] Roland Barthes[45:36] Pierre Huyghe[47:51] Ikebana Sogetsu[51:46] Okwui Enwezor[55:03] Hypernormalisation by Adam Curtis (2016)[59:51] Jacob Bromberg[59:51] Akwetey Orraca-Tetteh[1:08:50] Adrienne Rich[1:08:50] Ursula K.
