    Why Doesn't My Child Listen to Me?

    Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow and guest Dr. David Marcus tackle the common frustrations parents face when their children seem unresponsive. They explore the underlying reasons for this disconnect, including developmental stages, communication styles, and emotional needs. Additionally, they provide actionable strategies to help parents improve their communication skills. Listeners will learn how to foster a more open dialogue, develop a common emotional language, utilize active listening techniques, and create a supportive environment that strengthens family connections. Who is Dr. David Marcus? In today’s challenging world, parents require new tools to help their children develop a healthy self-image and emotional resilience. Many still use parenting techniques from their own upbringing, which often do not apply to current issues like the impact of social media, financial stress, and the challenges of dual-income households. Dr. David Marcus, a Clinical Psychologist with over 40 years of experience, offers valuable insights into developing effective emotional communication between parents and children. He provides step-by-step strategies tailored for various stages of child development, focusing on how to help parents create a common emotional language, tolerate intense emotions through the “empty-out process,” and serve as a “Soothing Presence” for their children. Additionally, he discusses avoiding common parenting mistakes, understanding the emotional impact of high-conflict situations, and distinguishing effective discipline from punishment, making him a sought-after resource in the Cincinnati area on parent-child communication and child advocacy.

    The Authenticity of Swearing: A Raw Conversation

    Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow invites guest Zulma Williams, who affectionately calls herself "A Swearing Therapist." Together, they explore whether the use of profanity is a genuine form of self-expression, allowing individuals to convey their true emotions and experiences. They examine the emotional weight and societal perceptions of swearing, prompting viewers to reflect on how these words can reveal deeper aspects of authentic selves. Ultimately, they encourage embracing authenticity in language and expression. (Explicit content ahead!) Who is Zulma Williams? Zulma is the founder of Dragonfly Therapy Services and a licensed clinical social worker, widely known as "The Swearing Therapist." Specializing in trauma, anxiety, and depression, she empowers clients to tackle life’s challenges and embrace their true potential. Born and raised in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Zulma immigrated to the U.S. at 31. At 42, she began her journey in social work, and just weeks after graduating at 46, she faced a breast cancer diagnosis. After a lumpectomy and a transformative three-year stay in Argentina, she returned to the U.S. in 2015. By 50, she was pursuing her Master of Social Work, becoming fully licensed in 2018. Her motto? "I had cancer, cancer did not have ME!" In 2025, she celebrated her 60th birthday in Hawaii, which reignited her love for the ocean. After financial challenges, she moved to Panama in December 2025, waking up to the soothing sounds of waves. Zulma is witty, passionate, and unapologetically real. Join us as we explore her remarkable journey and insights as a mental health therapist, public speaker, and podcaster!
