Topic: Mental health disorders can change how we feel, think, and cope with life. And when symptoms become overwhelming, the answer for some is to turn to—alcohol and other drugs—hoping to feel better. But they don’t solve the underlying problem. Over time the symptoms worsen, disrupt brain chemistry and that exacerbates mental health issues and increases substance use. Today we’ll be talking to an expert on what we need to do to break that vicious cycle.

Topic: Being a picky eater as a toddler can almost be looked at as a rite of passage. Up to 50% of children between 2 and 4 years will demonstrate some pickiness during their toddler hood. But when does picky eating turn into something that might actually be a real illness or disorder? Today we have Dr. Taylor Perry to help us better understand whether or not the pattern is just a picky eater or someone who many have a health damaging disorder.

Topic: We have all heard that team sport participation can offer a powerful balance of physical, psychological, and social benefits, and even watching team sports can enhance mental health and foster strong feelings of belonging. But both participating in and watching team sports have some real pitfalls and can actually increase anxiety and damage relationships if not managed carefully. Today we’ll be talking about finding balance and keeping the benefits of team sport participation whether you’re on the team or watching it.

Topic: It happens to many of us at some point or another. Our lives get really busy with our daily responsibilities, our job, volunteer work, or taking care of someone. We feel the responsibility to keep going…then once the burden gets so heavy, we are just done and begin to shut down. That is burnout and it can jump in and undermine everything that we have been working for. Burnout can destroy a job, a relationship or an ultimate life plan. Today we’ll be talking about the signs of burnout, how to avoid it and what to do if you are getting close.

Guest(s): Dr. Courtney Walker

Topic: For many families, grandparents are an incredible source of support. They're picking children up from school, helping with homework, making dinner, spending the night when parents have to work—and sometimes, they're doing much more. Some grandparents are providing childcare several days a week. Others have their grandchildren living with them and have essentially stepped back into the role of parent. So today guest host Dr. Courtney Walker is talking about what happens when being a grandparent also means being a caregiver. We'll talk about why grandparents have become such an important part of the childcare system, the joys and challenges of that role, setting boundaries with adult children, differences in parenting styles, burnout—and perhaps most importantly, what children actually need from their grandparents

Topic: You’ve likely heard of “free-range parenting” that many reject because it seems dangerous and reckless. Then there’s “helicopter parenting” that is also rebuffed because there is some evidence that over-involvement of parents in their child’s life may cause a child to end up anxious and dependent. So, what’s the middle ground and how can parents get to that sweet spot that allows children to develop independence and confidence while parents still give proper oversight.

Topic: How do we know when someone we love may be struggling with thoughts of suicide? What should you say if someone tells you they're thinking about suicide? And does asking someone directly about suicide actually help—or could it make things worse? This week, clinical psychologists Dr. Courtney Walker and Dr. Taylor Perry take on an important and sometimes difficult conversation about suicide prevention—how to recognize when someone may be struggling, how to ask the question, and what we can do to help. Because sometimes, starting a conversation can be the first step toward getting someone the help they need.

Topic: I have said recently that instead of aging gracefully, we should age fiercely by making new friends, starting new hobbies and learning new things and in general just staying active. I believe that that is so important. But we are all mortals and eventually our time on earth will end. Our lives all have a finite length. Today we’ll be talking about being mortals and planning for it.

Topic: Belonging is a basic human need and is more than just being part of a group—it’s about finding your place where you feel comfortable expressing yourself, feel accepted, understood, and appreciated. Feeling that you are a part of a group and belong to it can also be a protective factor against loneliness, anxiety and depression. So today we’ll be talking about belonging and how you can feel that you have a place in this world and how to help others feel the same.
