Ann Brown, friend and educator, joins us again for a heartfelt episode on holidays. We talk about Santa, gift-giving, rituals, religion, and the validation of "wanting more." Ann's insights and recommendations are practical, funny, and easy to implement. Ann Brown has been a parenting educator and consultant for over forty years, working with individual parents, couples and groups. She taught her first parenting class when she was still pregnant with her first child, which means she really didn't know what raising kids was all about. Over the decades, she has raised her two sons, taught classes at Marylhurst Early Childhood Center in Oregon City, trained as a Waldorf teacher, created parenting support groups for the Hannah Andersson Family Foundation, and led workshops in California and Oregon. Her favorite gig, however, was co-hosting a cable television show with Dr. Amy, called "The Motherload", in which she and Dr. Amy answered parenting questions from callers and on-camera guests. If you'd like to consult with Ann, you can reach her at [email protected] Ann recommends getting accurate information about the conflict from: Al Jezeera or Ha Aretz (an Israeli Newspaper in English).

My friends are not okay right now. My teacher-friends are not okay. It’s the third week of October and one teacher-friend of mine said this will be her last year of teaching. Another friend said she’s never seen behavior like this before and she’s been teaching for over 15 years. And yet another said she’s never had this much difficulty connecting with students. And we’re not just talking about middle schoolers, who, let’s face it, often get the ire of disdain for dysregulated, hormonal, reactive behavior. We’re talking about kindergarteners, high school students, and preschoolers. This is not ok. My friends are not ok. When I feel this passionate about something and I feel like I can help, like I SHOULD help, I move into action. So, I’m hosting a one-evening, free workshop on why behaviors are so complex right now. If you’re a teacher, you should be there. If you’re a parent educator, you should be there. If you’re a school counselor, you should be there. If you’re a concerned parent, you should be there. If you’re a school volunteer or aid, you should be there. If you’re an administrator....you should DEFINITELY be there. Tell your friends. Tell your teacher friends. Invite your teacher friends because we’ve GOT to talk about this. You’re not ok. It’s ok to not be ok. But it’s not ok to be alone. JOIN US HERE! & INVITE FRIENDS!!

You're about to uncover so much about how we can approach people in a more compassionate way with my friend, Danni Verona. Danni Verona is a Licensed Occupational Therapist who has been continuously serving the needs of families for 36 years. She specializes in infants, children and parenting and has gained her experience through working in schools, clinics, home visiting programs, and hospitals. As a mother of three children, a grandmother to a freshman in high school! Danni brings her love of learning and family into her experience. She is an Infant Massage program instructor, 5th degree Blackbelt Karate instructor and program director of a neurodiverse inclusive karate program she created through the Family Martial Arts Academy in Beaverton, and is a Certified Zero Balance practitioner.  Danni now practices in her private clinic, that she designed to supports children and their families specifically in how they can discover the best way to optimize their personal processing and regulation needs. Danni has developed tools and programs to support individuals in learning more about their body’s needs, as well as how their thinking and neurological processing impacts their ability to learn, regulate and interact with others.  Danni’s guiding philosophy is, “Working with the 'whole' child, means recognizing that they are whole, and it’s our job as the caretakers of children to meet their needs by seeing who they are, and where they are in their personal development. In order to do that we have to continue to learn about our own processing systems, so we can create the circumstances and support that allows the children to grow into their greatest potential."

Friends - you're in for a treat as we wrap up YEAR ONE of our podcast, The Most Important Medicine. Dr. Aimie Apigian, MD, MS, MPH is a double board-certified physician with 2 Master's Degrees in Biochemistry and Public Health and is the leading medical expert on stored trauma in the body. She bridges the worlds of functional medicine and trauma therapy to help accelerate the trauma healing journey through her framework and protocols addressing The Biology of Trauma™. Trauma became her study and passion after 2 very personal experiences for her: adopting 4-year-old Miguel from the California foster care system and experiencing her own severe health crash and burnout in 2014 while finishing her 3rd year of general surgery residency. Having to learn things she never learned in medical school to help her son and rebuild her own health and life, she now teaches what she had to learn: the difference between stress and trauma in the body and how to help the body heal itself. Her vision is to help 1 million professionals accelerate their own trauma healing journey and to bring the biology piece of trauma work to every medical and mental health education system in the world by the year 2041. And her work is getting worldwide recognition! She founded Trauma Healing Accelerated to offer online educational and experiential trauma healing programs that integrate all of the different pieces of training she has including Somatic Experiencing, NeuroAffective Touch, art narrative trauma therapy, and Internal Family Systems along with a long list of functional medicine mental health and addiction training. She has had >160,000 registrants for her annual Biology of Trauma Summits, has led hundreds of professionals through her modules in the Biology of Trauma Certification Course, and has been recognized by her peers in the functional medicine health entrepreneur Mindshare Mastermind community for the second year in a row for having the biggest growth in her business.

We're in desperate need to celebrate small joys in life. Join Dr. Amy as she discusses finding joy as a way to avoid re-traumatization. Finding joy helps to ameliorate some of the compounding stressors so that we have energy to draw from during hardships. This year has been coined, The Year of Sophia. Why? Because my daughter, Sophia, graduates from high school in just 4 days! The “why” is truly important and has allowed me to slow down, set boundaries and be intentional with my time. So, as different opportunities have cropped up for our family, for my business, or for each of us as individuals, the first question is: Will this interfere with any event for senior year? If so, it’s a hard “no.” But, there are parts of Sophia (and every child) that deserve much brighter lights of celebration. I want to honor, not only her accomplishments, but her character. Thanks everyone for allowing me to gush about one of my greatest accomplishments. And to all the seniors graduating – I support you and celebrate you. May you find contentedness and reach for your dreams. And to the parents celebrating seniors – I see you. Great job. We did it.

Rola and I were in tears several times as we shared and I listened to her incredible story and advocacy. Listen to her sage advice about physician identity and burnout. You'll be inspired by her wisdom and journey of burnout to advocacy to humanitarian work. Rola was born a doctor. She just didn't know that her home country of Syria would shatter into a million pieces, killing over 30 members of her family and that she would wield her voice, stethoscope and humanity as weapons greater than bullets and bombs. Dr Rola is an award-winning physician, humanitarian, campaigner, speaker, social entrepreneur and coach. She's the first Syrian TED Fellow and the founder of CanDo - a humanitarian organization supporting frontline health and aid workers to save children’s lives in their war-devastated communities. She has helped build 7 hospitals in Syria, including the first-ever crowdfunded hospital, altogether serving over 4 million people. As a global advocate for health and human rights in conflict, she has shared the stages with presidents, celebrities and grassroots activists. She is a TED and Google speaker, and her work has been featured in most media from the New York Times to The Daily Show including two BBC documentaries. Her online talks have been seen over 11 million times, inspiring thousands to become change-makers. Rola believes the world needs more visionaries, idealists, rebels and troublemakers- people who stand up, speak out and lead for change. She is on a mission to make this a reality, to support people facing illness, injustice and indifference and not just survive but thrive. After recovering from burnout and trauma, Dr Rola emerged a warrior embodying the power of Rumi’s poetry “Yesterday I was clever, so I wanted to change the world.

In her debut podcast launch, Dr. Amy engages in a riveting discussion with Dr. Ken Ginsburg, a pediatrician with 35 years of experience. Dr. Ginsburg is a resiliency expert who focuses on building trauma awareness in medicine, establishing tools and resources for providers, and shifting the lens from what is “wrong” with patients to what is “good and right” with them.  During this hour-long podcast, you will get to explore a different perspective when it comes to treating kids who have experienced trauma. More importantly, you’ll learn how to reframe the conversation with your patients and explore positive ways to deal with trauma. You’ll learn that you can advocate for resiliency, instead of framing a patient as “broken” You’ll also learn not to take it personally and how to avoid changing the narrative for your own perspective.  As providers, you will need to be there for the critical moments in your patient's lives. This captures all the elements of your patients’ lives, whether it be the good or the bad. However, after listening to this podcast, you’ll learn how to focus on the good, so that when the bad does happen, your patients will be well equipped to handle it.  Dr. Ginsburg is the Founding Director of CPTC and Professor of Pediatrics at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia.

Hey friends, I wanted to create this short clip about the upcoming mini-retreat for physicians and providers who work with children and families. Some of you have heard about the curriculum that I’ve created called, Cards for Connection. They are prescriptive cards that focus on brief interventions to be used in primary care. The cards enhance relational health at every well-visit with practical tools!   During our retreat, I’ll teach you these interventions in very small groups (only 15 spots are available) and by the end of our time together on Saturday afternoon, you’re off to explore wine country with two things: Licensure to use the cards in your practice and 6 months of support from me in The Provider Lounge, a learning collaborative to build resilience with other colleagues.  I talk to physicians and providers every day who feel like they don’t have the resources, support, knowledge or tools to provide the level of care their patients need right now. I don’t want you to be a therapist. You don’t need to be a therapist. But I DO want you to have access to brief interventions that support kids and families, are trauma-informed & efficacious, bridge a gap for much-needed mental health supports PLUS support early relational and social emotional health for caregivers and children.

The nurses are in the house! Join Dr. Amy with nurses Antra Boyd and Karen DiMarco of RNegade as we have some deep conversations about trauma in the field of nursing. These women are real, loving, disrupters in the world of healthcare. RNegade KAREN DIMARCO  Karen DiMarco is a bit of a wild card. She believes that authenticity serves as the laxative for connection, communication, and inspiration. She writes her bio in the 3rd person like a normal arsehole, but she’ll tell you about it (see what she did there?) Curiosity is her superpower, and creativity is the machete she uses to cut through the antiquated bullschizzle of how the world says things ‘ought to be.’ When she can’t think of a word to say precisely what she means, she’ll make one up: Memorgasm - the feeling/sound that is made when one suddenly remembers the name of a person/song/ or “what did I come in this room for again?” Since this slashie mouthful doesn’t quite cover the CV: “R.N./transformational coach/published health researcher & educator/foul-mouthed humorist,” she goes by ‘RNegade.’ Although Karen is a girl with a dragon tattoo, she’s really quite kind. The thing that makes her leap out of bed in the morning like some deranged fairy godmother whose wings were crumpled by too many My Pillows, is helping others to achieve their greatest level of health, happiness, and human potential…preferably with lots of snort-laughing along the way.  ANTRA BOYD  Antra is the only one here who is actually having someone else write her bio in the 3rd person. She is formidable. Like, you’re as grateful to have her ‘at your side,’ as you are relieved that she’s not on an opposing team. Yet, those pretty blue eyes will start pissing tears if you do the least kind thing for her, or show her a TikTok of a baby cow.  Antra’s insecurity-inducing professional resume: Navy veteran, 20+ year clinical nursing experience in the OR, and wickedly talented entrepreneur in the emerging role of Private Patient Advocacy — was cultivated from the compost of challenge, triumph, and transformation that her life has so abundantly provided.  Those experiences shaped her unique way of seeing the world. “The status quo is a snoozefest. What puts a fire under my ass is shaking shit up, a nice glass of red wine, and hanging out with my tribe of trouble-makers.”  WARNING: boxes, knowns, ‘shoulds', 'ought-tos', and ceilings WILL be blown-up and crashed-through. Antra is an Original RNegade.

Friends - join me for a discussion with Dr.  Bruce Perry where we talk about all-things trauma, relationships, meaningful medicine, how to begin tough conversations and the importance of this work.Dr. Perry is the Principal of the Neurosequential Network, Senior Fellow of The ChildTrauma  Academy and a Professor (Adjunct) in the Departments of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at the  Feinberg School of Medicine at Northwestern University in Chicago and the School of Allied Health,  College of Science, Health and Engineering, La Trobe University, Melbourne, Victoria Australia.  Over the last thirty years, Dr. Perry has been an active teacher, clinician and researcher in children’s  mental health and the neurosciences holding a variety of academic positions. His work on the impact  of abuse, neglect and trauma on the developing brain has impacted clinical practice, programs and  policy across the world. Dr. Perry is the author, with Maia Szalavitz, of The Boy Who Was Raised As  A Dog, a bestselling book based on his work with maltreated children and Born For Love: Why  Empathy is Essential and Endangered. Dr. Perry's most recent book, What Happened to You?  Conversations on Trauma, Resilience, and Healing, co-authored with Oprah Winfrey, was released  in 2021.  Dr. Perry has conducted both basic neuroscience and clinical research. His neuroscience research  has examined the effects of prenatal drug exposure on brain development, the neurobiology of  human neuropsychiatric disorders, the neurophysiology of traumatic life events and basic  mechanisms related to the development of neurotransmitter receptors in the brain. His clinical  research and practice has focused on high-risk children. This work has examined the cognitive,  behavioral, emotional, social, and physiological effects of neglect and trauma in children,  adolescents and adults. This work has been instrumental in describing how childhood experiences,  including neglect and traumatic stress, change the biology of the brain – and, thereby, the health of  the child.  His clinical research over the last twenty years has been focused on integrating emerging principles  of developmental neuroscience into clinical practice. This work has resulted in the development of  innovative clinical practices and programs working with maltreated and traumatized children, most  prominently the Neurosequential Model©, a developmentally sensitive, neurobiology-informed  approach to clinical work (NMT), education (NME) and caregiving (NMC).

In this podcast, Dr. Amy sits down with Dr. Dominic Corrigan, a psychiatrist with a very personal story to share.  Physician burnout and physician suicide is a relatively unknown issue in the world of medicine.  This stems from many factors, including stigma and a general unwillingness to talk about the subject. Dr. Amy and Dr. Corrigan explore preconceived notions about physicians and with a candid and heartfelt conversation about the personal journey that Dr. Corrigan himself took, leading up to the culmination of him creating Physiciansanonymous.org.  The website takes aim at providing resources for physicians and providers to have someone to reach out, for whatever the reason.  This may be after a horrible ER shift where they witnessed a child's death, or the culmination of years of absorbing patient’s problems with no outlet for their own. This episode will ring true for almost anyone who works in healthcare.  May want to grab tissues and find someone to talk with after this one.

In her debut podcast launch, Dr. Amy engages in a riveting discussion with Dr. Ken Ginsberg, a pediatrician with 35 years of experience.  Dr. Ginsberg is a resiliency expert who focuses on building trauma awareness in medicine, establishing tools and resources for providers, and shifting the lens from what is “wrong” with patients to what is “good and right” with them.   During this hour-long podcast, you will get to explore a different perspective when it comes to treating kids who have experienced trauma.  More importantly, you’ll learn how to reframe the conversation with your patients and explore positive ways to deal with trauma.  You’ll learn that you can advocate for resiliency, instead of framing a patient as “broken”  You’ll also learn not to take it personally and how to avoid changing the narrative for your own perspective.  As providers, you will need to be there for the critical moments in your patient's lives.  This captures all the elements of your patients’ lives, whether it be the good or the bad.  However, after listening to this podcast, you’ll learn how to focus on the good, so that when the bad does happen, your patients will be well equipped to handle it.   Dr. Ginsburg is the Founding Director of CPTC and Professor of Pediatrics at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia. He travels the world speaking to a parent, professional, and youth audiences and is the author of 5 award-winning parenting books including a multimedia professional toolkit on “Reaching Teens.” CPTC follows his strength-based philosophy and resilience-building model.
