  • A blessings at just the right moment!

    I got the dreaded diagnosis of breast cancer on Tuesday. That afternoon I just needed to go clear my head and decided to find a pod for my walk. The most recent episode with Dr De La Cruz was 3rd from top in my recent episode library. I learned so much and went back and listened to every single episode from the show notes. I showed up for my appt with surgeon ready to ask all the things. I will also be getting a second opinion or 3rd and 4th is I feel it is needed! Amanda I am so thankful you ha... more

  • Three back to back reruns

    Making such a huge deal about becoming an independent podcast, only to abandon it. It’s so sad because this podcast was my happy place. I truly miss it. But they obviously stopped trying. I am just so disappointed.

  • Hate how it’s changed

    I hate how reruns are labeled as new episodes. It feels dishonest. It’s hard to tell which episodes are new and which are old. You can’t tell it’s a rerun until we start listening. The quality has also decreased, it’s changed since the beginning and you all feel out of touch. Between the weekly reruns and episodes when you’re too in your head, it’s just not good. I also hated how you treated the girl who played soccer against your daughter, people unintentionally get injured in sports sometimes,... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

On Cornell – How to Protect Your Child When Their College Won’t – with Nicole Bedera
Q: My daughter called me from college and said, Mom, something happened. How do you talk me through that from a practical perspective in terms of how I support my daughter in that? Who should she absolutely not talk to until she understands the consequences?
Bedera recommends reassuring the student that it was not her fault, respecting her autonomy, and asking what she needs rather than directing her choices. She suggests seeking confidential support, learning about the available options, and requesting academic accommodations without assuming that a Title IX report is required.
On Cornell – How to Protect Your Child When Their College Won’t – with Nicole Bedera
Q: The university has this Title IX office. It's advertised as a place for students to go to report a sexual assault. So a 19-year-old student walks into her Title IX office and says, I was raped. What does she think is about to happen and what actually happens?
Bedera explains that students often start with an online reporting form, and at the university she studied, reports generally did not trigger a response or investigation. Students could receive an email with resources without realizing they needed to file a separate complaint.
(BEST OF) How to Not Disappear: Chanel Miller
Q: Does depression still affect you? What does it look like in your life?
Miller describes depression as narrowed vision, like looking through a toilet paper tube. She avoids major decisions and broad conclusions while in that state, and treats it as a different way of seeing rather than an indefinite condition.
(BEST OF) How to Not Disappear: Chanel Miller
Q: When you were writing Know My Name, your therapist told you to focus on pursuing pleasure as part of your healing. Tell us about that time when your therapist asked you to start going to an art class.
Miller chose a narrative illustration class, where making comics about everyday events helped her notice that life was continuing beyond the traumatic story she was writing.
(BEST OF) How to Heal with Allison Russell
Q: Because you have so much trauma in your background, and you are experiencing through your music, it feels very much like you're experiencing re-embodiment as healing. How?
Russell says motherhood was a major starting point for loving her body. She also credits dancing, playing music, and being in community with women she felt safe with.
