    #42 - Reverend Kelsey Beebe, MFA Dance, MDiv - The Dancing Pastor

    Today on the podcast, Carli and Laura speak with Reverend Kelsey Beebe (MFA Dance, MDiv [Pronouns: she/her]), a trained dancer, yoga instructor, and an ordained minister in the United Church of Christ. Pastor Kelsey believes firmly in an all-loving God, embodied Christ, and ever-moving Holy Spirit that connects us all. She serves as a solo pastor at two churches just south of Milwaukee, WI, and is the Executive Minister and President of Dancing Pastor Ministries and host of the Lady Preacher Podcast.  With a love for movement and ministry, and a passion for embodied prayer practices, Pastor Kelsey has been called the 'Dancing Pastor' since her early teenage years. She earned the title lady preacher while serving two churches in rural Missouri where she became known around the town as “the lady preacher.” As the Dancing Pastor and Lady Preacher, Pastor Kelsey works with folks from all walks of life, helping them find safe, embodied ways to connect more deeply to themselves, to others, and to God. Her life's work is based on 1 Corinthians 16:14: “Let all that you do be done in love,” and her favorite part of ministry is helping people experience the transforming love of God that moves around, among, and within us all. Outside of movement and ministry, Pastor Kelsey loves donuts, being by the water, and nothing gets her laughing harder than a good dad-joke. She also believes pints of ice cream are meant to be finished in one sitting. She lives in Kenosha, WI, with her husband Rev. Kevin Beebe and their cat Velcro. Some topics of discussion on today’s episode include… The joys and challenges of leading a faith community as a woman The Divine Feminine, embodied prayer practices, and the healing power of movement Why the broader Christian Church is in need of female voices, leadership, and ordination; and what the Church misses out on when it prevents women from serving as clergy You can find out more about Pastor Kelsey at our website or at dancingpastor.org If you like our show, please subscribe, rate, review, and share the Unconventional Dyad Podcast.

    #39 - Nathalie Rieder, Psy.D. - Geropsychology, Aging, and the Future of Healthcare

    Welcome to Season 3 of the Unconventional Dyad Podcast! On this brand-new episode, Carli and Laura speak with Nathalie Rieder, Psy.D. about the field of geropsychology, the rapidly growing aging population, and the unique challenges faced by older adults. Dr. Rieder is a postdoctoral psychology fellow at the Milwaukee VA Medical Center, working primarily in outpatient and inpatient geriatric care settings. She received her doctorate in psychology from the Indiana University of Pennsylvania (APA-Accredited) and completed her internship at the Tuscaloosa VA Medical Center (APA-Accredited). She was awarded IUP’s Graduate Research Grant Award for her dissertation investigating the relationship between family caregivers’ well-being and the quantity and quality of received social support. Throughout her training, Dr. Rieder has come to appreciate the unique role of geropsychologists while working in interdisciplinary teams. Older adults often face a variety of biopsychosocial problems—which makes the job of a geropsychologist ever-evolving! They must hone a diverse set of skills to address concerns faced by many older adults and their families. Dr. Rieder is excited to be a part of the rapidly expanding geropsychology field and hopes that many future psychologists consider this specialization.
