She explains how her journey to healing began when she entered a counseling program and experienced PTSD symptoms after discussing rape therapy in class.

She describes how therapy helped her understand the connection between her trauma and current anxiety, including realizing she had felt like she was going to die during the assault. The conversation explores how lack of communication about sexual boundaries contributes to trauma, and Linda emphasizes the importance of teaching young people to discuss consent and boundaries openly.

    Dr.Lindsay Emmerson understands that today’s parents are overwhelmed. They’re exhausted from trying every tip they see on Instagram, sifting through contradictory parenting books, and still feeling defeated when their child melts down in the grocery store or refuses bedtime for the third hour in a row. Most parents are drowning in scattered tactics but lack a cohesive, research‑based strategy. That is exactly where Dr. Emmerson steps in.  A psychologist with a Ph.D. in clinical psychology, Dr. Emmerson has spent years translating complex behavioral science into simple, actionable tools parents can use in real‑time — during the screaming toddler moment, the back‑talking tween moment, and everything in between. She is the creator of the Better Behavior Blueprint and the 5 C’s Framework: Communication, Consistency, Choices & Checkpoints, Consequences, and Check Yourself. She designed these not as another theory for parents to study, but as a practical system they can implement today and see results tomorrow. Her approach helps parents understand not only what to do, but why it works — which is what makes the strategies stick even when parenting gets hard. What sets Dr. Emmerson apart is her ability to bridge academic psychology with the messy, unpredictable reality of family life. She doesn’t simply tell parents to “set boundaries” or “be consistent.” She gives them the exact language to use, the timing strategies that prevent meltdowns before they start, and the research‑backed techniques that work across ages — from defiant three‑year‑olds to moody thirteen‑year‑olds. On any podcast or stage, she breaks down why kids act out (hint: it’s rarely because they’re “bad”), what parents may unintentionally be doing that escalates behavior, and the step‑by‑step strategies that turn daily battles into teachable moments. Audiences walk away with tools they can use the same day — not vague advice, but specific, proven techniques like the “Acknowledge & Respond” method for faster cooperation, the “3, 2, Thank You!” countdown for power struggles, and the Family Mantra strategy that reduces sibling rivalry before it erupts. Dr. Emmerson makes psychology accessible, relatable, and immediately applicable, helping parents feel capable, confident, and far less alone.https://drlindsayemmerson.com/  For more information contact: newclevelandradio@gmail.com

    “The Lady in the Mask” 6226 YPYPYJA #35 #cleveland13News #podmatch

    Please subscribe to our YouTube page to receive notices on all new podcasts as well helping us grow our audience. https://www.youtube.com/c/NewClevelandRadiohttps://newclevelandradio.net/If you would like to be a podcast host or guest please contact Karen at newclevelandradio@gmail.com Summary: “The Lady in the Mask” – YPYPYJA #35 This episode of Your Purpose, Your Power, produced in collaboration with Cleveland 13 News, introduces a guest known as “The Lady in the Mask.” Pam Warren. The episode follows the show’s signature theme: exploring authenticity, personal purpose, and the courage it takes to live in alignment with one’s truth.Pam Warren is best known as “The Lady in the Mask”, a name that emerged after she survived the Paddington rail crash — an event that left her critically injured and changed her life in an instant.What followed was not a neat or linear recovery. Alongside long-term physical injuries, Pam has lived with trauma and PTSD for many years. Rather than allowing the story to end there, she went on to become a national rail safety campaigner in the UK, working directly with regulators, investigators and policymakers. Her persistence helped drive meaningful changes in rail safety and accountability — reforms that continue to protect passengers today.Pam’s work has been recognized at national level, including being named a Woman of the Year, but she is the first to say that titles matter far less than lived experience. What resonates most with audiences is not just what she survived, but what she learned along the way: how resilience is built slowly, how identity shifts after trauma, and how purpose can emerge when life takes an uninvited turn.Today, Pam is an international inspirational speaker and author, working with organizations, leaders and individuals who are navigating disruption, pressure or personal challenge. Her message is grounded, practical and human — resilience not as a buzzword, but as a set of habits, decisions and perspectives forged through real adversity.Podcast hosts often describe Pam as warm, candid and quietly funny, able to explore heavy subjects without losing lightness or hope. She speaks openly about fear, recovery, perseverance and the uncomfortable reality of change — and how learning to “fall in love with change” can become a powerful turning point.The title suggests a conversation centered on identity—specifically the masks people wear to navigate expectations, trauma, or societal pressure. Does this resonant with you?The episode also continues the show our mission of uplifting real stories from real people, offering listeners both connection and encouragement as they pursue their own purpose-driven paths.
