Dr. Roy Lubit board certified Child, Adolescent and Forensic Psychiatrist
Scarlett and her guest, Dr. Roy Lubit, board certified child, adolescent and forensic psychiatrist, discuss using the Choose Love program for educators to help put lessons into life for a child’s safety, health and well-being. They also talk about identifying a child that needs extra help beyond more attention at home and what support the school can provide for that child. This is especially important for children who have suffered childhood trauma and abuse. 
Many victims feel they are to blame and do not speak up to anyone until their adult years or never tell anyone but deal with the trauma themselves. Adults are a symbol of safety and it’s too frightening for a child to think that their source of safety is not protecting them so that shame, blame, guilt goes into adulthood unless it is addressed. Scarlett and Dr. Lubit discuss the importance of being present as parents and educators for our children. Dr. Roy Lubit says, “Improving someone’s social skills and reconnecting with people is as important as trauma focused therapy. The amount of emotional support from people and the depth of the support is important for their future well-being.”

Shine Hope with Kathryn Goetzke
Scarlett Lewis’ guest is Kathryn Goetzke, founder of the nonprofit Shine Hope Company. They discuss why hope is foundational for all of us. Katherine has dedicated her life to growing hope within individuals by letting everyone know that we all experience hopelessness and how to find our way back to hope. Hopelessness is the single most powerful predictor of violence as well as suicide. Katherine shares her personal story of losing her father to suicide that put her on a mission to teach everyone around the world the 'how' to hope, based on research that hope is a teachable skill.
Hope is predictive of retention, performance, productivity, and engagement, and is a protective factor against anxiety and depression. The first step is to take our power back by pausing and thoughtfully responding with love instead of reacting. We need to learn to control the 90 seconds between stimulus and response. The second step is to cultivate healthy habits including diet and exercise to help us during stressful events. The third step is action and goal setting. You are more likely to achieve something if you write it down and check in with someone on how you are achieving these goals.
Additionally, hope is a precursor to happiness and resilience, meaning we need to activate hope to feel happy and have resilience. Hopelessness is learned through adversity and is often a consequence of oppression and discrimination; hope is also learnable, but only if we teach it. Listen to this podcast to find out how to activate hope within yourself, your school and communities!  www.theshinehopecompany.com

Peggy Fitzsimmons, Ph.D., author of Release: Create a Clutter Free and Soul Driven Life
"We are all hoarders." That statement was made by Peggy Fitzsimmons, Ph.D., author of Release: Create a Clutter Free and Soul Driven Life. It applies to everyone, myself included. After reading her inspiring book, I started uncluttering my cabinets and it felt like a new beginning. Peggy explains that we can become imprisoned by our mental, emotional, energetic, relationship, and especially physical clutter so we need to continually evaluate our lives to declutter and cultivate a healthier way of living.
Peggy has worked in counseling and healing for over 25 years, counseling adolescents and adults with mental health and addiction issues in a variety of clinical settings, including private practice, wilderness therapy, psychiatric inpatient, and residential treatment. She expanded her clinical work to include holistic and mind-body approaches by training for several years in Hakomi Body-Centered Psychotherapy, as well as Intuition Medicine®, a practice of intuitive energy healing and has lived and worked at the Omega Institute for Holistic Studies in New York and was a consulting producer on Oprah Winfrey's Emmy-winning TV series Super Soul Sunday.
Peggy's book offers practical insights about decluttering to help people improve their lives by freeing them from clutter and living in alignment with their true soul nature. In this podcast, we have an insightful conversation about the difference between the ego and soul aspect that co-exist and what they represent; how we are in service to others; becoming present; how to experience and learn from loneliness; our need for socialization; how release affects our lives; love and spiritual aspects of life; and the different types of grief and trauma and how to move through it. This is such a deep discussion that delves deep into all aspects of our lives, including courage to release rather than hold on, to accept rather than resist, and to live with only things that help you share your love and connect with the world in your own unique ways.  Peggy reinforces that we need to be present to make choices and appreciate each other. Trust yourself, she says. "We're all in this together and my book is an invitation for us to help each other."

Critical Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder Awareness
Scarlett Lewis’ guests for this podcast are Dr. Doug Waite, developmental pediatrician, Melissa Jacobus, mother of 2 children with Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorders, and Jen Wisdahl, Chief Operating Officer of FASD United and mom to 3 with FASD. FASD is an umbrella term that encompasses a number of lifelong medical diagnoses that can occur with prenatal exposure to alcohol, even prior to recognition of pregnancy. Highly prevalent, occurring in up to 1 in 20 school aged children, but often unseen or unrecognized, Dr. Waite describes what fetal alcohol spectrum disorders are and how they can be diagnosed. Scarlett and her guests discuss the need for more awareness of FASD as well as the funding to provide training for the medical community. That training is the starting point for getting recognition of this disability. The FASD community and The Choose Love Movement can work together to offer kids the coping and social skills over and above what is taught in the homes and schools.
