We all find a million reasons not to practice it, we guilt, shame and dismiss our way out of it. Without it we will never be at our full potential...we can dream more, do more, and love more effectively. Self-care...listen in and then get out there and do it. Join the conversation by emailing your thoughts to podcast@doit4Meryl.org.
Current research and data show LGBTQ+ youth are more than 4 times as likely as their cisgender peers to attempt suicide. One attempt every 45 seconds... The future of our LGBTQ+ youth is even more threatened under current bills being pushed through state legislation. Our youth need our protection, our most vunerable youth need our protection.

Concern and compassion take a seat at the table as we discuss cutting and self harm, and we are asking silence and shame to excuse themselves from the gathering. It is a heavy and hard subject, one we can't run from because it is not going anywere. Our youth need us to assist in building a bridge of communication and arm ourselves with understanding and resources. Take a deep breath and come join us. Please reach out with your thoughts, questions, or share your experiences by emailing podcast@doit4Meryl.org.
Tip of an iceburg, tackling the topic of social media and the varied ways our daughters are falling victim. Besides packing up shop and heading to a wifi void to raise our families... what can we do? Share you thoughts and questions at podcast@doit4Meryl.org.
When we see a inappropriate behavior from a child in a store, or when the community rumor mill is running full force with stories of an out of control teen, the worst possible thought or sentence that could cross our lips is "that would NEVER be my kid." No matter what the behavior is, your immediate perception is probably off and the only thing I can encourage you to do is use your energy and mouth as a tool to offer help. Coming from a parent who can say it IS my kid, we need each other's support to get through this "no manual given" parenting journey we are in...hopefully together. Listen, join the conversation, and contact us at podcast@doit4Meryl.org.
Wow, do we all make a habit of taking most things negatively and assuming it is about us. We need to be asking ourselves a few simple questions to get to the truth. Listen and learn some of the questions we should be asking, and send us your thoughts and feedback at podcast@doit4meryl.org so we can continue to conversation.
