What Our College-Bound Kids Need to Know with The College Doc, Dr. Jill Grimes
Send us a Text Message.
I'm so excited that Dr. Jill Grimes is back. She is the college doc and just came out with her newest edition of "The Ultimate College Student Health Handbook: Your Guide for Everything from Hangovers to Homesickness." It is a great gift if you have a high school grad. It gives so much information that will help your college student navigate their health and symptoms.
In this episode, we talk about everything from how to support them in talking to their doctor to how to talk to them about getting their medication refilled. That is a tough one. How do you get your kid to become more independent and be able to do that when they go to college? We also discuss how to support them in getting enough sleep. Additionally, she talks about some things that I did not know, like how common seizures are with college students and what our kids need to know.
We also cover sexually transmitted diseases, substance abuse, and so much more. So, let's dive in.

Welcome to today's episode of How To Have Healthy Talks About Sex and Intimacy in A Confusing Culture.
When it comes to sex, our bodies, love, and intimacy, our kids are bombarded with false, unhealthy, and confusing messages.

How To Ditch The Mom Lies and Find Your Way Back To Yourself with Heather Chauvin
Send us a Text Message.
Welcome to the show today, and I am so glad you're here. I want to start today by sharing something that my friend Amy sent to me yesterday. This is a meme entitled "How to be a mom in 2017. "We could actually change that to "2024" because it still applies to us today.
Make sure your children's academic, emotional, psychological, mental, spiritual, physical, nutritional and social needs are met. While being careful not to overstimulate, under-stimulate, and properly medicate, helicopter, or neglect them in a screen-free processed foods-free, GMO-free, negative energy-free, plastic-free body positive, socially conscious, egalitarian but also authoritative, nurturing, but fostering independence. Gentle but not overly permissive, pesticide-free, two-story multilingual home preferably in a cul de sac, with a backyard and 1.5 siblings spaced at least two years apart for proper development. Also, don't forget the coconut oil.
Then, it goes on to say, "How to be a mom in literally every generation before ours. Feed them sometimes."
Oh my gosh, we were having a huge conversation about how we can feel so exhausted that we can feel like we've lost ourselves as moms or feel like we're constantly abandoning our own needs.
If you are relating to this, you're going to love my special guest today Heather Chauvin. Heather has been named the next-generation thought leader in parenting and women's leadership. She's the author of Dying to Be a Good Mother and the podcast host of Emotionally Uncomfortable, and Heather's work supports women to manage their energy and time so they don't have to sacrifice their impact at work or at home with their kids. And her mission is to crack women open to their deepest potential and lead the life their soul craves.
There are so many nuggets of wisdom and goodness in this episode, so let's dive in!
