Ah, the tween years. That uncertain time in a child’s development that has many parents realizing that they need to double down on academic focus, and watch their children more carefully as they gain more trust and are exposed to more of the world through society and their peers. What is a parent to do though when they are feeling so much pressure to watch their kids, but also want for them to gain the confidence they need to move through the world successfully in their teen years and beyond? Enter Amanda Craig, A family therapist who has seen and experienced much of this in her practice, and has legitimately written the book on it! Her advice is to stop trying to parent, and seize the opportunity to connect with your child instead, while they’re still listening and trusting you. There is a neurological explosion that is taking place before us as tweens experience four significant changes that shake them (and us) to the core. As parents, we’ve already been through it so there’s no visceral reference for what’s happening, only distant memories. For the tweens, this is all brand new and very visceral. Their brains are changing. They feel and experience Who Are You & What Have You Done with My Kid? they do not recognize. They’re hyperaware of themselves. They do not know how to express themselves. Parents still have a “seat at the table” to make positive impressions on their tweens as they prepare them for the teenage years.

2-6-23 Allen Cardoza Interviews Jevonya Jenkins Allen https://www. jevonya.com https://twistednetworking.com https://answers.network During her first job supervising children at a local swimming pool, Jevonya was struck with an overwhelming desire to jump off a 12-foot diving board, even though she couldn’t swim. The ambitious voice in her head saying you should jump too wasn’t one she could ignore. To accomplish this goal, she saw what she needed to do - enlist a support system to help her. Standing at the edge of that diving board, Jevonya came to understand that anything is possible with a strong network. Many years later, she was once again confronted by that ambitious voice, but this time she came face to face with her identity as an introvert. In Jevonya’s inspiring book, The Introvert’s Guide to Becoming a Master Networker, she challenges common misconceptions of introverts as passive, indifferent, and unassertive. She argues instead that introverts are uniquely designed to build the kind of deep, trusting relationships necessary for authentic networking. Jevonya offers her readers a ten-step process for becoming a master networker, from an introvert’s perspective. She says, “This process requires time, patience, and hard work but one great thing about us introverts is that we aren’t afraid of hard work.”

1-23-22 Allen Cardoza Interviews Edward Tick PhD http://www.mentorthesoul.guide http://www.edwardtick.com The modern practice of medicine and psychology grew out of the ancient Greek healing tradition, said to be founded by Asklepios, god of healing and dreams. For two thousand years the system spread all over the Mediterranean world and planted the roots of Western medicine and psychology by offering ritual and holistic practices that recognized that healing begins at the soul level. Yet, since that time, the spiritually based practices were cast aside, leaving behind only the scientific medical techniques that dominate healthcare today. Resurrecting and restoring the sacred, mythological, and cultural origins of medicine and psychotherapy, Edward Tick, Ph.D., explores the soul-healing practices missing in our contemporary health systems. In his new book, Soul Medicine, he looks at the dream incubation tradition of Asklepios, sacred theatre of Dionysos, oracle gifting of Apollo, special practices of warriors, and their roots in Neolithic shamanism and indigenous traditions. Demonstrating the ritual use of dreams, visions, oracles, synchronicities, and pilgrimage for healing and connecting to the transpersonal and divine, he explains how dream incubation is a technique where you plant a seed for a specific healing or growth goal in order to facilitate dreaming and work toward soul restoration. Using both ancient wisdom and modern depth psychology alongside stories of healings from his more than 25 years of guiding Greek pilgrimages, Tick explores how we can use ancient healing philosophies and practices to reveal how restoration of the soul facilitates true healing today!

1-16-22 Allen Cardoza Interviews Frieda Birnbaum, PhD https://www.FriedaBirnbaum.com http://answers.network It’s a question many parents ask themselves and one that has been difficult to answer: Do violent TV shows and movies encourage real world violence? Could keeping children away from fictional violence improve their behavior, or prevent it from getting worse? In the 1960s, Albert Bandura conducted the famous “bobo doll experiment” which showcased how children tend to mimic observed violent behavior. Many people have doubted if TV, movies, and video games could have the same effect. However, these forms of entertainment have become more realistic and more violent since then, and we’re starting to see the unfortunate real-world consequences. Research psychologist Dr. Frieda Birnbaum has noticed a concerning correlation between violent media and increased aggression that follows children into adulthood. She would love to share her professional insight as well as a hidden benefit to ‘gaming’ in moderation.

1-09-23 Allen Cardoza Interviews Bob Rosebrough https://bobrosebrough.com http://answers.network Gallup, New Mexico, is a place like no other. It is disproportionally and simultaneously wonderful and terrible. It is a place of constant struggle, where the forces of good and evil collide. The former frontier mining town, bordering the Navajo Nation at the far western edge of New Mexico, is one of those few places on earth that have the power to change the course of our lives and transform us deeply. With its rugged, violent history and otherworldly landscape, Gallup has ignited the imaginations of famous Americans from John Wayne to Bob Dylan. Tony Hillerman’s novels put Navajo culture and Gallup on the map. For the Navajo people for whom the region has been home for millennia, the town and its alcohol-fueled economy have a more sinister pull. As an outsider who became an insider, Bob Rosebrough new book, A Place of Thin Veil, shares the historical realities of this enigmatic town, and gives readers a rare and true insight into Gallup’s iconic stories and long-hidden secrets. This book isn’t just for Gallupians. It is a memoir about regular people going up against Goliath issues, and it’s for anyone interested in spiritual conflict; Navajo people, history, and culture; political maneuvering; true crime; alcohol abuse awareness; taking on city hall; working with city hall; and rooting for the underdogs in a dog-eat-dog world. And it is the long overdue story of the death of a Navajo warrior named Larry Wayne Casuse.

1-2-22 Allen Cardoza Interviews Michael Shea PhD https://www.sheaheart.com http://answers.network Drawing on more than 45 years of practicing Eastern medicine, Michael J. Shea, Ph.D., presents a holistic guide to biodynamic manual therapy practices for optimizing the immune system and for healing the deep spiritual suffering of our contemporary world. Showing spiritual suffering to be the root of our modern epidemic of metabolic syndrome and other widespread health issues, the author explains how the pervasive degradation of the human body relates directly with the food we eat, the air we breathe, and our thoughts and emotions. He explains how the Five Element theory of Eastern medicine offers a method to reclaim the body by sensing each element in and around us as a single continuum. Focusing especially on “the fluid body” in Biodynamic Osteopathy and Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy, the author shows how inflamed components of the fluid body, such as the blood and lymphatic system, form the substrate of metabolic syndromes. He offers practices to visualize the health of the fluid body. He explains how, in order to enact the full benefits of the immune system, we need to nurture a deep sense of safety inside the body--a symbolic return to our embryonic and cosmic origins and a restoration of our sacred wholeness. Offering an extensive practical section, including both in-person and remote techniques, the author shares new and unique biodynamic protocols to balance the metabolism with the cosmos as well as optimize the immune system and the function of the vagus nerve. Enacting healing at the deepest spiritual level, Shea reveals how to create inner and outer balance to restore wholeness as it was at the time of the origin of the universe.

11-28-22 Allen Cardoza Interviews Liza Wiemer http://lizawiemer.com http://answers.network Inspired by a real-life incident, Liza Wiemer’s new riveting novel, The Assignment, explores discrimination and antisemitism and reveals their dangerous impact.

11-7-22 Allen Cardoza Interviews Judyth Shamosh https://www.judythshamosh.com http://answers.network Most of us are familiar with conventional medicine, which uses scientific research and data, and linear thinking to treat disorders and diseases. But this is not the only approach to medicine, health, and wellness, as Dr. Judyth Shamosh well knows. Science is more than hard facts. Take modern physics, for example. It is creative and reflective of everyday experiences, in the same vein as poetry. In fact, in Dr. Judyth Shamosh’s new book, The Physics, and Poetry of Eastern Medicine, there are many parallels between physics and poetry. But, it takes a different thought process to see them. Dr. Judyth joins us today to explore a systems approach to medicine. Rather than relying solely on the knowledge and data associated with linear thinking, a systems-physician problem-solves by understanding the complex interrelationships of organ systems, as well as environmental influences. In addition, the patient’s participation becomes integral to the healing process. With the prevalence of chronic illness in children and adults, a systems approach can be worth exploring.

10-31-22 Allen Cardoza Interviews Alan Day https://www.alandayauthor.com http://answers.network Alan Day has had adventures that most of us only experience while watching Netflix. In his book, Cowboy Up, Alan shares what life was like for him and his two sisters growing up on the Lazy B, a 200,000-acre family cattle ranch in the arid Southwest. In what he describes as a “hardscrabble childhood”, it was their upbringing that instilled a strong work ethic, values, and principles that would eventually lead each of them to their own extraordinary life path. After graduating from college, Alan went on to successfully manage the Lazy B for 40 years. His sister, Ann Day, dedicated her life to public service in the state of Arizona, serving in the state legislature and local government. The eldest of the three siblings, Sandra Day O’Connor, was the first woman appointed to the United States Supreme Court. Sandra was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom and served on the court for 25 years. Join us for this very special interview, as Alan recounts his writing of Cowboy Up. Filled with humor and deeply moving timeless truths, this book is one man’s story of ranching and the cowboy life lessons in persistence, innovation, common sense, trust, friendship, and experiences that cross all demographics, lifestyles, and decades of time.

10-24-22 Allen Cardoza Interviews Stephen G. Post https://www.stephengpost.com https://answers.network Unfortunately, things have not changed that much for the deeply forgetful and their caregivers despite all the money invested in Alzheimer’s pharmacology, which has been slightly effective at best. At present, there is no medicine to slow down the underlying progression of Alzheimer’s and caregivers eventually ask whether the treatments are worthwhile. In Stephen Post's new book, Dignity for Deeply Forgetful People, he takes up the theme of caregiver hope and where they can find it. The book then responds in a practical way to sixteen ethical issues that have been raised by thousands of caregivers, as well as the hot-button question of “PPAS.” Preemptive physician-assisted suicide for Alzheimer’s disease and the core elements of the “ethics of respectful care” that caregivers aspire to. Throughout, Dignity for Forgetful People focuses on the extent to which we as caregivers can respect and abide by the previously or currently expressed preferences of a deeply forgetful person, especially with regard to clinical ethical choices. To bring this journey to closure, Stephen responds somewhat pastorally to a question that has been asked of him many times: “Is Grandma still there?” In the final chapter, he builds on his own experience, as well as the many well-documented reports of “terminal lucidity” that can occur in the days just before someone dies with dementia. Recounting the loss of his own grandmother years ago with dementia he states, "I “felt” that she was still there underneath the communicative breakdowns when sporadically she expressed her whole self."

10-17-22 Allen Cardoza Interviews Helen Hadani & Rachael Katz https://www.brookings.edu/experts/helen-shwe-hadani/ http://answers.network As the day-to-day effects of the pandemic ease, our children have been left with having to play catch up, learning the social tools and skills that parents of young children took for granted just 3 short years ago. To help them, parents need a new toolbox to foster their child’s emotional intelligence—an essential character trait for children to succeed in our fast-paced, social society. Parenting takes serious patience and calm which can be hard to find today. A growing number of personal, health, and economic worries have caused a significant rise in anxiety levels. Where can parents find tools to meet today’s challenges? Child development experts, Rachael Katz and Helen Hadani, set out to address this in their new book, The Emotionally Intelligent Child. Their innovative approach breaks the mold on parenting. Katz and Hadani share relevant research on social and emotional awareness to help parents understand how their child’s mind is developing. They also provide powerful tips on how to help children build emotional intelligence to navigate the conditions of our times. Parents will learn to shift their thinking from the adult viewpoint to a child’s so they can discover how to scaffold and support their child’s social and emotional learning and ensure that their child learns prosocial behavior, impulse control, and perspective taking. This shift in viewpoint is a total game-changer and will help parents to gain more patience, respond less reactively, and cultivate joy together as a family.

10-10-22 Allen Cardoza Interviews Gail Lynn https:// www.harmonicegg.com http://answers.network At the age of 37, Gail Lynn’s dream of making a difference in the world was rudely shattered. The accumulated stress of two challenging relationships and three extremely competitive careers in the automotive, telecommunications, and film industries had decimated her physical, emotional, and psychological reserves, leaving her with a medical diagnosis of severe cardiovascular stress. Determined to restore her health, Gail plunged into the world of energy medicine. When a series of whole-body light and sound treatments reversed her diagnosis, she set out to uncover both the ancient history and modern science behind light and sound as healing therapies. After opening a light and sound healing center in Colorado in 2010, a series of extraordinary synchronicities guided her to combine light and sound technologies with sacred geometry and Tesla mathematics. The result was a revolutionary vibroacoustic, resonance healing chamber called the Harmonic Egg, which is advancing frequency healing to an unimagined level. Part memoir, part illuminating treatise on why science is looking to the past for the future of medicine, Unlocking the Ancient Secrets to Healing chronicles the personal tribulations and professional discoveries behind the remarkable realization of Gail Lynn’s dream.

9-19-22 Allen Cardoza Interviews Paula Marantz Cohen https://drexel.edu/pennoni/center-for-civil-discourse/overview/ http://answers.network An award-winning scholar and teacher explores how Shakespeare’s greatest characters were built on a learned sense of empathy. While discussing Shakespeare’s plays in her university classroom, Paula Marantz Cohen discovered that they unlocked a surprising sense of compassion in both herself and her students. In this short and illuminating book, she shows how Shakespeare’s genius lay in his ability to arouse empathy, even when his characters exist in alien contexts and behave in reprehensible ways. In her new book, On Human Kindness, Paul Cohen takes her readers through a selection of Shakespeare’s most famous plays, including Hamlet, Othello,King Lear, and The Merchant of Venice, to demonstrate the ways in which Shakespeare thought deeply and clearly about how we treat “the other.” Cohen argues that only through a close reading of Shakespeare can we fully appreciate his empathetic responses to race, class, gender, and age. Wise, eloquent, and thoughtful, this book is a forceful argument for literature’s power to champion what is best in us.

8-29-22 Allen Cardoza Interviews Dr. Thomas Verny https://www.trvernymd.com http://answers.network A breakthrough book that promises to shift our understanding of the mind-brain connection and reveal the mind's relationship with our bodies. Is the mind within the brain? Dr. Thomas Verny says this is a very limiting belief. Let's dive in! In The Embodied Mind, internationally renowned psychiatrist Dr. Thomas R. Verny sets out to redefine our concept of the mind and consciousness. He brilliantly compiles new research that points to the mind’s ties to every part of the body. The Embodied Mind collects disparate findings from many fields of science in order to illustrate the mounting evidence that somatic cells, not just neural cells, store memory, inform genetic coding, and adapt to environmental changes—all behaviors that contribute to the conscious mind. Cellular memory, Verny shows, is a very well-documented scientific fact that will expand the audience's understanding of memory as a whole! The Embodied Mind shows how intelligence and consciousness—traits traditionally attributed to the brain alone—also permeate our entire being. Bodily cells and tissues use the same molecular mechanisms for memory as our brain, making our minds more fluid and adaptable than we could have ever imagined!
