    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.

    Beyond the Plate: The Mindful Food Journey

    Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow engages with guest Axay Shah to challenge conventional eating habits.

Who is Axay Shah? Axay Shah is a dedicated raw foodist and researcher with nearly two decades of experience studying the intersection of nature and human biology. His work, recognized by the Library of Congress and supported by leading medical professionals, including Dr. Shrenik Shah, is driven by his mission to help one million people reclaim their vitality. By bridging the gap between ancient dietary wisdom and modern nutritional science, Axay draws on 16 years of personal practice and research into raw foodism to provide a “biological backbone” for the plant-based community, demonstrating that living foods are the ultimate fuel for the human body.

    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."

Ultimately, they encourage embracing authenticity in language and expression. (Explicit content ahead!) Who is Zulma Williams?

"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.
