Get INTUIT with Gila- a podcast about Intuitive Eating and Personal Growth.
Every person who develops an eating disorder has a story to tell. Many people develop eating disorders as a way to show they have control over their lives. They may be in desperate need of attention from those around them. Maybe they just need something of their own, and an eating disorder is all they have. Believe me when I say, their are many, many reasons. Jenna joined me today to full pull about the development of her eating disorder and also her road of recovery. I think this is a really important interview to hear whether you are a human or a human raising humans, it is critical to know how eating disorders develop and even better, how to prevent many of them.

The Young Israel of West Hempstead burgeoned to a community of 750 families under the dynamic leadership of Rabbi Yehuda Kelemer of blessed memory. Referred to as the “Rabbi's Rabbi,” this title does no justice to the overwhelming impact that he had upon anyone he encountered. It wasn't charisma, and it certainly wasn't hip coolness; it was the rarest blend of mastery of every facet of Torah, exquisite sensitivity, and how a God-fearing individual must consistently conduct themselves. Anyone who required assistance, whether it was requested or not (usually the latter) was blessed by Rabbi Kelemer taking them under his wing, making them feel honorable and important. The Rabbi had a very liberal ‑ nigh incomprehensible ‑ interpretation of assistance. With never a thought for his personal comfort or dignity, no obstacle could prevent his treasured and cherished uplifting intervention. Because of his Torah scholarship recognized by the world's most prominent roshei yeshivah, dynamic leadership, and extraordinary care for everyone, the Young Israel of West Hempstead where he was the Mara D'asra swelled to a membership of 750 families. Young and old, disaffected youth, ardent secularists and yeshivah graduates revered Rabbi Kelemer and lovingly heeded his counsel. Listen to some of the amazing stories concerning one of this generation's most noble rabbis.

A graduate of Harrison High School in Harrison, NY and Northwestern University, Jon Varlamos received his Master's degree in teaching from Fordham University. He began his teaching and coaching career at West Hempstead and Locust Valley High Schools before moving to Walt Whitman High School as an Assistant Principal, where he's spent the last 19 years. Jon discusses the mindset and behaviors of teenagers in today's schools with specific focus on being present, coping, interacting and social media's effect on all of this. Key Takeaways Really focusing on the effects of social media on our young adults' behavior, actions, interactions, mindset. It's not going away, this is their world. One of the biggest concerns is that teens get a lot of their “experience” by watching other people's experiences on social media. Parents can look back at life before cell phones when they learned from real world experiences. Teens today are often missing that real-life interaction. Parents can help their teen work through what they're seeing and hearing through social media. It's good to set phone expectations and boundaries as a family so everyone can be responsible based on guidelines. Healthy expectations of your teen is important so they realize it's not what they see on social media. Talk with them about their goals and how you can support them without applying pressure that overwhelms them. It's important to allow your teen to make mistakes and learn rather than jumping in to save them from the learning experience. Respect and responsibility can be taught as parents' model that behavior. It's ok for parents to admit when they've made a mistake or acted inappropriately. Parents can approach a teacher, a coach, an administrator to talk about any concerns. Tap into that support. Sponsored by VarsityLeadership.com Resources Email Jon Varlamos

When I first started reading the book, for those of you who watch TV, I thought it was something like 'The Goldberg's' meet 'The Wonder years', as the book starts off with Marc talking about his chain-smoking mother who drives down the Belt Parkway like a speed demon, then, without slowing down, up the ramp off the Van Wyck Expressway, with total disregard that Marc is going to vomit all over himself if she doesn't pull over quickly. While the book has its funny moments, there are many important lessons that we hope to discuss with Dr. Straus today. From getting into fist fights in public school in West Hempstead, Long Island – and always winning – not many Jews can say that, to transferring to a Yeshiva Day school in Queens – traveling alone on the train with his younger brother, for 4 hours every day. Marc's story is very unique in that he endured physical abuse at home starting at the age of 2, and never telling anyone, to helping his immigrant father on Sundays at his textile businesses, survived polio, recovered after being hit by a car – ALL BEFORE THE AGE OF 12- to always looking out for his younger brother and other defenseless victims of childhood bullying. Today, Marc Straus he is a very prominent Oncologist, published poet writer, and art gallery owner. The Definitive Rap 01DEC2021 - PODCAST

Starr Sackstein started her teaching career at Far Rockaway High School more than sixteen years ago, eager to make a difference. Quickly learning to connect with students, she was able to recognize the most important part of teaching: building relationships. Fostering relationships with students and peers to encourage community growth and a deeper understanding of personal contribution through reflection, she has continued to elevate her students by putting them at the center of the learning. Currently, Sackstein is the Director of Humanities (business, English, library, reading, social studies, and world languages) in West Hempstead, New York. While in her first year of leadership, she completed her advanced leadership certification at SUNY New Paltz. Taking what she learned in classes and applying her classroom leadership to a team of teachers, Sackstein was able to start growing as a new school leader, building relationships and demonstrating the kind of leadership she would have liked from her own past administrators. Prior to her current role, Sackstein was a Teacher Center teacher and ELA teacher at Long Island City High School in New York. She also spent nine years at World Journalism Preparatory School in Flushing, New York, as a high school English and journalism teacher where her students ran the multimedia news outlet WJPSnews.com. In 2011, the Dow Jones News Fund honored Starr as a Special Recognition Advisor, and in 2012, Education Update recognized her as an outstanding educator. In her current position, Sackstein has thrown out grades, teaching students that learning isn't about numbers but about the development of skills and the ability to articulate growth. In 2012, Sackstein tackled National Board Certification in an effort to reflect on her practice and grow as an educational English facilitator. After a year of close examination of her work with students, she achieved the honor. She is also a certified Master Journalism Educator through the Journalism Education Association (JEA). Sackstein also served as the New York State Director to JEA from 2010-2016, helping advisors in New York enhance journalism programs. She is the author of Teaching Mythology Exposed: Helping Teachers Create Visionary Classroom Perspective, Blogging for Educators, Teaching Students to Self-Assess: How Do I Help Students Grow as Learners?, The Power of Questioning: Opening Up the World of Student Inquiry, Hacking Assessment: 10 Ways to Go Gradeless in a Traditional Grades School, and Hacking Homework: 10 Strategies That Inspire Learning Outside the Classroom co-written with Connie Hamilton. Most recently, Starr has published From Teacher to Leader: Finding Your Way as a First-Time Leader Without Losing Your Mind (DBC), Peer Feedback in the Classroom: Empower Students to be the Experts with the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD). Sackstein has also contributed to compilation works in 2017 and 2018: Education Write Now edited by Jeff Zoul and Joe Mazza and What Connected Educators Do Differently with Routledge. She blogs on Education Week Teacher at "Work in Progress," where she discusses all aspects of being a teacher and education reform. She made the Bammy Awards finals for Secondary High School Educator in 2014 and for blogging in 2015. At speaking engagements around the world, Starr speaks about blogging, journalism education, bring your own device, and throwing out grades, which was also highlighted in a recent TedxTalk entitled “A Recovering Perfectionist's Journey to Give Up Grades.” In 2016, she was named one of ASCD's Emerging Leaders. Balancing a busy career of writing and teaching with being Mom to thirteen-year-old Logan is a challenging adventure. Seeing the world through his eyes reminds her why education needs to change for every child. Starr can be reached at mssackstein@gmail.com or via Twitter at @MsSackstein.
