Grab your cup of coffee or tea and listen in to Dr. Bobbi Beale and Dr. Maurie Lung (who is NOT wearing black in this episode) as they chat about a recent conference they attended. We reflect on opportunities for inclusion, micro and macro aggressions, being an ally, when to speak up and when to take a pass, and just the long-term wear and tear of living in a world as chaotic as it is right now for so very many people.

Grab your cup of coffee and join Bobbi and Maurie for a little bit of a trip down memory road as we chat about photo memories, perms, and gray hair, when we jump
into the serious conversation of the process of the school transition last fall. We explore the process as a parent when a child is navigating social situations where they want to be accepted for being themselves, but in our
current social environment, a difficult situation that is not of their own doing often results in rejection. Sometimes a report of, “it was not terrible,” is the first step while we are helping our children to build their resiliency. Then we lighten things back up again with chat about Halloween and First Aid events.

Grab that cup of coffee or tea and listen in to an author's meeting as we meet up with our co-authors Tony Alvarez, Kim Sacksteder, Gary Stauffer, and Anita Tucker! Although this fun conversation came about because we met to write our second adventure therapy book, it is really a deep dive into how to truly collaborate with others to make great things happen.

Grab your coffee or tea and join Dr. Bobbie Beale and Dr. Maurie Lung as we discuss how we attend to our self-care even when we feel challenged and threatened ... a lot. We acknowledge that resiliency and self-care skills do not erase the facts of ourvery challenging and difficult things are happening in our world right now. And, of course, we still have to deal with the reality of what we are dealing with in our every day. However, by shifting our mindset that these practices aren’t the solution, but they are part of the process to help stabilize ourselves and mitigate the impact of the stressors in our lives, we can re-center on joy, or perhaps even delight, in our every day as well.
