For many travelers, Antarctica is a bucket-list destination, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to touch all seven continents. In 2023, a record-breaking 100,000 tourists made the trip. But the journey begs a fundamental question: What do we risk by traveling to a place that is supposed to be uninhabited by humans? And as the climate warms, should we really be going to Antarctica in the first place? SHOW NOTES: Kara Weller: The Impossible Dilemma of a Polar Guide Marilyn Raphael: A twenty-first century structural change in Antarctica’s sea ice system Karl Watson: First Time in Antarctica Jeb Brooks : 7 Days in Antarctica (Journey to the South Pole) Metallica - Freeze 'Em All: Live in Antarctica Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices…

Author Lily Howard Scott | With Jordan 37:56

acum 18 zile37:56

37:56

Author of the new book The Words that Shape Us ( Scholastic ), Lily uses innovative language to help parents and children navigate the challenges and triumphs of life. Her new book is centered on the Power of Words and how the words and phrases we use with children can help grow their emotional literacy, teach them how to self-regulate, practice self-compassion, and build imagination and self-esteem. They will discuss: The science behind how words shape a child and offer language suggestions that will foster positive self-talk and self-esteem, including: “What a brilliant mistake! What learning can you find in it?” This language dissolves shame associated with failure and encourages children to investigate mistakes with curiosity and regulation, not avoidance or a cold-sweat. “Hello, feeling visitor!” This phrase, inspired by Rumi’s poem “The Guesthouse,” empowers kids to understand that they are separate from their emotional experiences, and underscores the truth that all feelings are impermanent. “Let’s think ishfully as we jump into this challenge.” Guiding a child to approach assignments with an “ishful” spirit can deter perfectionistic tendencies. “Turn on your birder mindset. What will you notice?” This language inspires kids to approach new experiences and activities with sustained attention and through the lens of “What funny, interesting, joyful thing will happen here?” Kids elicit what they project, and switching on their ‘birder mindset’ invites them to notice small moments of delight they’d otherwise miss.

Talking to Our Kids About Sex - With Sex-Ed Expert Claire Tomkinson | With Jordan 44:29

acum 12 weeks44:29

44:29

Claire Tomkinson is a passionate advocate for empowering parents to have open, honest conversations with their kids about sex, relationships, and body image. With over 15 years of experience in sex education and nearly 7 years of working closely with middle schoolers and their families, Claire has seen firsthand how essential it is for parents to be the primary source of guidance on these critical topics. After starting her career as a middle school youth director in Charlotte, NC, Claire moved to the peaceful Blue Ridge Mountains to raise her own family on a small homestead. There, she created Clarify Sex Education—a resource designed to make “The Talk” easier and more comfortable for both parents and kids. Through the Clarify Lesson Series, Claire provides families with age-appropriate, fact-based, and values-aligned sex education that helps parents navigate these tough conversations with confidence and clarity. Claire is also the host of the Clarify Kids Podcast, where she practices what she preaches by answering her own children’s unrehearsed questions about sex, relationships, and growing up. These real, unfiltered conversations provide parents with an inside look at how to approach these important topics in a natural and non-awkward way. Additionally, Claire writes the blog Cringy Conversations, offering valuable parenting tools, reflections, and advice to help families navigate the often tricky—and sometimes cringy—discussions about sex and puberty. Claire believes that, in today’s fast-paced world, where kids are exposed to information earlier than ever, parents have the unique power to shape their children’s understanding of relationships and sexuality. Her goal is to empower parents to transform what may feel like uncomfortable conversations into meaningful connections, setting the foundation for healthy relationships and emotional well-being in their kids’ lives. Claire is excited to share her insights, practical tips, and experience, because she believes talking about sex doesn’t have to be awkward or intimidating—and it’s never too early or too late to start.…
