Mothering a Child with Disabilities with Kelley Coleman | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 5 Episode 4

Mothering a Child with Disabilities with Kelley Coleman | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 5 Episode 4

Today on the podcast, I talk with Kelley Coleman,  feature film development executive turned author and advocate for parent caregivers and individuals with disabilities. Her book Everything No One Tells You About Parenting a Disabled Child: Your Guide to the Essential Systems, Services, and Supports draws upon over a decade of experience, including her own experience parenting a child with multiple disabilities. Kelley lives in Los Angeles with her husband, two boys, and her son’s trusty service dog. 


In our conversation today, nothing goes unturned when it comes to mothering through the stress and joy of having 2 boys- one with multiple rare disabilities. Kelley addresses the challenges and joys of her life with grace, grip, humor, and infinite love. Whether you are mothering a child with disabilities or not, I have no doubt that you will love Kelley as much as I did.

Internal Family System Therapy | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 4 Episode 5

Internal Family System Therapy | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 4 Episode 5

In this episode Kate and Deb discuss the integrative therapeutic approach called Internal Family Systems therapy and how to use it with mothering.


The Internal Family Systems Model is an approach to individual psychotherapy developed by Richard C. Schwartz in the 1980s. It combines systems thinking with the view that the mind is made up of relatively discrete sub-personalities, each with its own unique viewpoint and qualities.


By learning how different parts function as a system and how the overall system reacts to other systems and other people, people in therapy can often become better able to identify the roots of conflict, manage any complications arising, and achieve greater well-being.


The IFS model has 5 basic assumptions:

  • The human mind is subdivided into an unknown number of parts.
  • Each person has a Self, and the Self should be the chief agent in coordinating the inner family.
  • Parts engaging in non-extreme behavior are beneficial to the individual. There is no such thing as a “bad part.” Therapy aims to help parts discover their non-extreme roles.
  • Personal growth and development leads to the development of the internal family. Interactions between parts become more complex, allowing for systems theory to be applied to the internal system. Reorganization of the internal system may lead to rapid changes in the roles of parts.
  • Adjustments made to the internal system will result in changes to the external system and vice versa. Therefore, both the internal and external systems need to be adequately assessed.

Disclosure, Deb has been studying IFS for about 4 years and attempted to give a very simple description of the practice so listeners can start to understand the concept. This practice has many terms that she did not go into such as; “managers, firefighters, blending, unburdening” and so on. This was intentional because Kate and Deb did not want to overwhelm the listener. There are many great resources to deepen your understanding of this model, but some great book recommendations include “The Sum of All Parts” and “No Bad Parts” both by Richard Schwartz.


Thanks for listening and enjoy the show.

Our Kids' Grades | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 4 Episode 3

In this episode, we begin by updating each other on where they’re at in our parenting journey. This led us to a conversation about a recent article we read that inspired us: Maybe Bad Grades Aren’t That Bad. https://www.nytimes.com/2023/10/23/opinion/grade-inflation-high-school.html

 

We started to explore the journey or sometimes race that our kids partake in regarding grades, pressure, self-motivation, and of course, personal responsibility. We also talk about achievement and different learning styles. Thanks for listening and hope you enjoy the show.

Kids and Clothing | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 4 Episode 1

Kids and Clothing | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 4 Episode 1

In this episode, we will explore how to support tweens & teens when choosing how to dress. We discuss this complicated issue for parents as we unpack what is culture and trend, what is “appropriate” and what are our own triggers that get mixed up in the process. This is no easy topic and no right answer. But we left you with some questions to ask yourself when wrestling through this and questions and convos to ask your kiddos so we can continue to help them be critical thinkers.

Some questions you might want to ask yourself are:

  1. How am I getting hooked by gender stereotyping?

  2. Have I explained to my kids that no matter what you wear, people will make a quick (and powerless I might add) judgment of you? 

  3. Have you discussed the importance of not judging others for the way they’re dressed?

  4. Have you explained that it's ok and normal to want to feel attractive to others, and that doesn’t mean that you want to have sex or are attention-seeking?

  5. Have you discussed how industries will promote clothes to the pop culture that is historically based on the traditional male gaze which is an old message of men feeling entitled to women’s bodies? (yes that’s a big one)

  6. Have you talked about the fashion industry and how it affects the environment and body shaming culture? 

Try answering these 5 questions before discussing.

  • What are appropriate clothes?
  • Are the clothes appropriate for the weather?
  • Do they still fit you?
  • Are they appropriate for the activity they are wearing them
  • Are the clothes or brands aligned with your values; ethically sourced, environmentally friendly, do they pay their workers adequate wages, are they made in all sizes for all body types,

A quick note about the Motherhood Uncut podcast:

Deb and Kate share quite a bit of information that they bring to the table from their work with mothers, children, and also their own lives. Anytime Kate and Deb share a client's story, they are actually bringing a number of different clients and situations they've seen in their work rather than talking about one particular client. They are never going to reveal names in the interest of protecting a person's anonymity. And on a regular basis, the two sit down with their girls to make sure what they share on this podcast is okay with them.  So please know that anytime you hear specific details, Kate and Deb are really thoughtful and take into consideration how these examples might impact others in their lives.

This week, Kate and Deb have an important and moving conversation with Feather Berkower about childhood sexual abuse and what we can do as parents to protect our kids from sexual assault. 

April is childhood sexual abuse prevention month. The more informed and empowered we are as mothers and parents, the more empowered we can help our kids to be, and the less likely they are to experience this type of trauma. 

Feather Berkower, Founder of Parenting Safe Children, is a licensed clinical social worker and one of the nation’s leading experts in child sexual assault prevention. She has dedicated her career — which now spans over three decades — to educating parents and youth professionals on how to make their communities “off limits” to child sexual assault.

Understanding Adolescence with Deb Rubin, Part 2 | Motherhood Uncut Podcast | Season 2 Episode 13

In this episode, Kate interviews Deb for part 2 of understanding adolescence. They start to explore the sexual exploration of the adolescent experience and key things to explore with your kiddos. Deb talks about the importance of family orientation vs peer orientation and emphasized how we, as the parents, want to be the source of sexual education; emotional, physical, and behavioral.  


Together they talked about the journey of maturation and the contradictions between the hook-up culture and the “liberated” mindset of sexuality in today's youth with the science of what happens in the brain when two people are sexually active.

Hey there, listeners! Thank you for being here. Don't forget to like subscribe, rate, and share!

In this episode, Deb and Kate will clumsily yet authentically navigate teenage substance use. As two mothers of high schoolers, they are definitely in it and clear that there are no hard answers. Some of the themes are: the adolescent brain, the power of knowing your kids and trusting that, the importance of accurate education, healthy communication and the ideal goal to keep the door of trust and honesty open, making healthy decisions and escape plans, and mostly finding tenderness within ourselves as we all navigate this turbulent journey.

This conversation is not over and we would love to hear questions, success stories and beautiful mistakes.

Thank you.
