20
00:01:11,160 --> 00:01:14,760

22
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:19,080

24
00:01:22,319 --> 00:01:26,640
Speaker 1: Everyone tries to invite themselves twenty six. I'm sixty. But

25
00:01:26,959 --> 00:01:30,240
Speaker 1: your spirit is ageless and cannot be held in any

26
00:01:30,280 --> 00:01:32,920
Speaker 1: sort of box where a number is placed on it.

27
00:01:33,160 --> 00:01:35,880
Speaker 1: Now you've had many We're gonna get into your non

28
00:01:35,920 --> 00:01:37,880
Speaker 1: for profit and all the important mom stuff you do.

29
00:01:38,600 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: But you've had a million jobs. You've been a designer.

30
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:45,520
Speaker 1: I was a costume designer. But then my claim to

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,920
Speaker 1: fame is I created and invented the sparkle cell phones

32
00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:51,040
Speaker 1: and microphones with the stones on them. I bet you

33
00:01:51,080 --> 00:01:54,120
Speaker 1: why that her eyes are lighting up? Audience out there,

34
00:01:54,320 --> 00:01:57,440
Speaker 1: her eyes are lighting up? Are you kidding? Like the

35
00:01:57,560 --> 00:02:02,080
Speaker 1: big dazzled selfies dazzle you can look google me. But wait,

36
00:02:02,160 --> 00:02:04,480
Speaker 1: my phone ended sex in the city. Was Sarah Jessica

37
00:02:04,520 --> 00:02:07,760
Speaker 1: Parker calling Mr Big on the bridge in Paris. I

38
00:02:07,800 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 1: remember it like it was yes phone, Motorola fliphone. So

39
00:02:12,639 --> 00:02:14,720
Speaker 1: I mean, I'm completely flabbergasted. I don't even know what

40
00:02:14,760 --> 00:02:18,520
Speaker 1: to say. I'm star struck. I mean, the bedazzled cell

41
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:20,960
Speaker 1: phone was a huge moment of my life. And of

42
00:02:21,000 --> 00:02:22,440
Speaker 1: course that moment and Sex in the City will go

43
00:02:22,480 --> 00:02:26,000
Speaker 1: down in history as one of my favorite television moments ever. Um,

44
00:02:26,120 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: you are just such an outside of the box thinker,

45
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,919
Speaker 1: Like that's when I talked to you and I read

46
00:02:31,960 --> 00:02:34,600
Speaker 1: about what you do and how you are. I mean,

47
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: you just have an energy, you have a real jois

48
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: d vive for life that is just boundless, and you

49
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,880
Speaker 1: just you make up the rules yourself, which is just amazing.

50
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:49,239
Speaker 1: I'm not a big rule follower. I am following every

51
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:52,360
Speaker 1: covert nineteen rule because I think, you know, I have

52
00:02:52,400 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: a lot of respect for you know, our medical situation

53
00:02:55,440 --> 00:02:57,079
Speaker 1: and people, which you'll get you know when you'll we'll

54
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:59,640
Speaker 1: talk about the charity and you'll understand. But rules in

55
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,400
Speaker 1: general are hideously hard for me, horrible. I just can't

56
00:03:03,400 --> 00:03:06,360
Speaker 1: do it. I can't wait on lines, I can't. I

57
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:08,440
Speaker 1: don't know how to do rules. They scare me. And

58
00:03:08,520 --> 00:03:11,080
Speaker 1: what did you do when you're a mom yourself? I

59
00:03:11,120 --> 00:03:13,079
Speaker 1: will say. Beanie has been asked many times what was

60
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:15,960
Speaker 1: it like growing up the shared They called me say

61
00:03:16,080 --> 00:03:18,720
Speaker 1: was she is your mother? And that is not an

62
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:23,160
Speaker 1: easy question, Sir. I am et centric, There's no question

63
00:03:23,200 --> 00:03:27,000
Speaker 1: about it. But I'm respectful. Um, tell me about this line,

64
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:31,040
Speaker 1: we nag you because we love you. So is that

65
00:03:32,600 --> 00:03:36,400

66
00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:39,080
Speaker 1: story is this is actually a cute story. Well, I

67
00:03:39,080 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 1: think all my stories are fairly cute, but I'm biased. Okay.

68
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,880
Speaker 1: So I was asked, like I don't know how many

69
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,200
Speaker 1: years ago, let's just call it seven or whatever years

70
00:03:49,200 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: ago by um the Obama administration to do a p

71
00:03:53,280 --> 00:03:55,040
Speaker 1: s A for the Affordable Health Care Act. I'm not

72
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:57,600
Speaker 1: very political, but I've been on the board of charities

73
00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: since I was twenty seven years old for pat cancer

74
00:04:00,360 --> 00:04:03,120
Speaker 1: and AIDS. I'm very, very um into trying to make

75
00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: the world as fair as it can be. It's obviously

76
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: not fair, but and I love children. I adore children.

77
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,560
Speaker 1: So I'm like, okay, But you know, then I became

78
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,640
Speaker 1: like bossy pants, like I'm going to be the stylist

79
00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: for the commercial, and I wanted in my kitchen, and

80
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:16,360
Speaker 1: I want it with my best friend and I want

81
00:04:16,400 --> 00:04:18,160
Speaker 1: to play back Ammon with her, and it has to

82
00:04:18,200 --> 00:04:19,919
Speaker 1: be a Q and A because I don't read lines,

83
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 1: and all of a sudden they're like, what the hell

00:05:14,160 --> 00:05:17,159
Speaker 1: this guy, Brad, it was my connection and I and

105
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,160
Speaker 1: I said to him, Brad, I want to I want

106
00:05:19,160 --> 00:05:21,920
Speaker 1: to own this name. Your mom Cares is a name

107
00:05:22,040 --> 00:05:25,279
Speaker 1: for famous people and influencers mothers to do good things.

108
00:05:25,360 --> 00:05:27,560
Speaker 1: That's why you asked us to do it. So what

109
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 1: are you gonna do with you? I basically told the

110
00:05:29,120 --> 00:05:30,719
Speaker 1: White House, like, what are you gonna do with that? Yeah,

111
00:05:30,720 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 1: you said, get me the White House. You saw a

112
00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,880
Speaker 1: real opportunity. We got invited to the White House, which

113
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: was amazing. We were in the Oval Office with President Obama,

114
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:40,920
Speaker 1: which is amazing. He actually said I could see why

115
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 1: Jona is funny because he was laughing hysterically. And we

116
00:05:44,480 --> 00:05:46,719
Speaker 1: had the best meeting, and they gave us the brand

117
00:05:46,880 --> 00:05:52,200
Speaker 1: and I trademarked the brand. How did you choose the mission?

118
00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:53,560
Speaker 1: Do you want to take us through the mission of

119
00:05:53,600 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: your mom Cares and tell us why you chose mental health? What?

120
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:01,039
Speaker 1: What is? What is that? So there's what happened. We

121
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:04,200
Speaker 1: knew we had what it takes. Now what we're going

122
00:06:04,279 --> 00:06:06,640
Speaker 1: to talk about? What were we going to attack? So

123
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:10,200
Speaker 1: we were vetting charities, Patty and I mostly Patty and

124
00:06:10,240 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: I that's out of time. And we were vetting food

125
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:17,080
Speaker 1: and security, homelessness, education, right health, and we talked to

126
00:06:17,120 --> 00:06:20,640
Speaker 1: our kids. All the famous kids said mental health because

127
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,960
Speaker 1: it affects everybody. So they're like, that is the issue

128
00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,040
Speaker 1: of our generation, meaning the fourty year old, the thirty

129
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:30,600
Speaker 1: year old, twenty year old and younger. And once we

130
00:06:30,600 --> 00:06:34,279
Speaker 1: started to investigate it, Wow, So you have found in

131
00:06:34,320 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: your research that mental health help is wildly unavailable to children.

132
00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:43,760
Speaker 1: I'm sure. And when I say research, I just want

133
00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:46,239
Speaker 1: to go on records saying this. I'm not protecting myself

134
00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,120
Speaker 1: because you can ask me a million questions and I

135
00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:50,560
Speaker 1: will give you my opinion on all of that. That's

136
00:06:50,680 --> 00:06:56,560
Speaker 1: my opinion. Our real information comes from experts, from the

137
00:06:56,839 --> 00:07:00,320
Speaker 1: pediatric psychiatrists. We have part we have two big partners ships,

138
00:07:00,600 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: and they are the ones that feed us the accurate information.

139
00:07:04,040 --> 00:07:07,040
Speaker 1: One another doctor said to us, you know, my best

140
00:07:07,120 --> 00:07:11,200
Speaker 1: friend's son needed help. I am the head of psychiatry

141
00:07:11,200 --> 00:07:17,320
Speaker 1: at a pediatric children's hospital and we have a psychiatric division,

142
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 1: and I could not find this child a doctor. I

143
00:07:19,960 --> 00:07:21,920
Speaker 1: had to send him to New York and he had funds.

144
00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: It means it's a it's a not very many people

145
00:07:26,720 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: are pediatric psychiatrists, and the brain is completely different under

146
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:47,880
Speaker 1: twenty five, especially for boys. So once you guys decided

147
00:07:48,440 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: between the superstar mom group tribe that you are in,

148
00:07:52,520 --> 00:07:55,160
Speaker 1: which is is amazing and all of your superstar kids,

149
00:07:55,720 --> 00:08:00,200
Speaker 1: that healthcare was I'm sorry, mental health was really lee

150
00:08:00,800 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: the go to thing. How did you guys get started

151
00:08:05,840 --> 00:08:10,720
Speaker 1: and how how is it going? Okay, so it's I'm

152
00:08:10,720 --> 00:08:13,280
Speaker 1: gonna segue into something which is at it's not we're

153
00:08:13,320 --> 00:08:15,640
Speaker 1: not doing this exactly the way. Well whatever, it doesn't matter,

154
00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: so we have we don't follow the rules that show

155
00:08:21,080 --> 00:08:24,600
Speaker 1: we're not following the dang rules. I like that. Okay.

156
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,440
Speaker 1: So um, we have a partnership with you PMC that's

157
00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:31,560
Speaker 1: the Universe Versity of Pittsburgh Medical Center, that's the psychiatrists.

158
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:35,320
Speaker 1: We have a we have funded the most innovative app.

159
00:08:35,400 --> 00:08:38,440
Speaker 1: It's called the Brain Manager, Okay, and it's a digital

160
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:42,040
Speaker 1: app that is prescribed by a pediatrician at a will.

161
00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,800
Speaker 1: We want a well child check up to include mental

162
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,400
Speaker 1: health because your brain is part of your body. So

163
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 1: he prescribes or she prescribes this app and we have

164
00:08:50,920 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: funded the pilot program, which is going amazing, but sadly

165
00:08:54,080 --> 00:08:57,240
Speaker 1: going amazing, meaning like so many kids are getting prescribed

166
00:08:57,280 --> 00:09:00,520
Speaker 1: this app since the virus. The count to kids that

167
00:09:00,520 --> 00:09:02,800
Speaker 1: are getting prescribed this app, we can't even we can't

168
00:09:02,800 --> 00:09:06,840
Speaker 1: accommodate them all obviously at this point. But the chief

169
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: of behavioral Health at u p MC called us yesterday

170
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:13,600
Speaker 1: and said, we are in the middle of an earthquake, Sharon,

171
00:09:14,200 --> 00:09:17,640
Speaker 1: but a tsunami is coming. And when that tsunami comes,

172
00:09:18,440 --> 00:09:21,120
Speaker 1: all these children are going to have mental health issues

173
00:09:21,320 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: and adults and we are not going to be prepared

174
00:09:23,920 --> 00:09:26,600
Speaker 1: for it. But because and they gave us a very

175
00:09:26,640 --> 00:09:30,400
Speaker 1: wonderful compliment that we were innovative enough to, we gave

176
00:09:30,480 --> 00:09:32,800
Speaker 1: them a half a million dollars for this app, and

177
00:09:32,840 --> 00:09:35,880
Speaker 1: the app is working. They can give their technology to

178
00:09:36,000 --> 00:09:38,920
Speaker 1: other people around the country once it's published, so that

179
00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: we can accommodate through telemedicine and telepsychiatry taking care of

180
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:46,000
Speaker 1: all these children that are going to need exquisite care.

181
00:09:46,200 --> 00:09:49,120
Speaker 1: Like your child, if your child goes to preschool, our

182
00:09:49,160 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 1: CEOs child goes to preschool, she's become so clingy. She

183
00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:54,400
Speaker 1: was the most like independent little girl like, so, if

184
00:09:54,400 --> 00:09:56,880
Speaker 1: her mother goes downstairs to take a work call with me,

185
00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: she's flipping out from the from what's going on. She's

186
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: living with the grandparents, with the mother right her world

187
00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:05,640
Speaker 1: has been Yeah, we're about to see a lot. I

188
00:10:05,679 --> 00:10:11,840
Speaker 1: mean again, these numbers about how much mental health um

189
00:10:12,080 --> 00:10:14,959
Speaker 1: affects so many kids in our country, and I can

190
00:10:15,000 --> 00:10:19,520
Speaker 1: only imagine with the coronavirus, and how many things have

191
00:10:19,760 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: changed in people's families and what their routines look like

192
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:27,080
Speaker 1: and kids who are struggling with mental health issues. I'm

193
00:10:27,120 --> 00:10:30,320
Speaker 1: sure routine is very important and stability is very important.

194
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:34,880
Speaker 1: And this is unknowing, this is odd, it's scary, it's

195
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 1: anxiety provoking, it's um. You know, it's scary, and I'm

196
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:42,520
Speaker 1: sure we're about to see for a long time mental

197
00:10:42,559 --> 00:10:45,480
Speaker 1: health effects and children because of this. Yes, you want

198
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: to hear something interesting. They also told me there's a

199
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:51,439
Speaker 1: thing called pre traumatic stress syndrome, which I find fascinating

200
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:54,560
Speaker 1: because I have anxiety. I had anxiety my entire life

201
00:10:54,640 --> 00:10:57,679
Speaker 1: right too. Hello, Hello, I have a lot of different

202
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,360
Speaker 1: ways of that I've dealt with my anxiety. That's not

203
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:02,679
Speaker 1: believe me, I'm not perfect. My I'm sure my kids

204
00:11:02,720 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: would love to chime in on this, but what I

205
00:11:05,320 --> 00:11:08,280
Speaker 1: will tell you is that what's fascinating to me is

206
00:11:08,960 --> 00:11:14,199
Speaker 1: and sad I've always had anxiety. People that never had

207
00:11:14,240 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: anxiety are going to have it now. So now our

208
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:19,440
Speaker 1: system is going to be it would be like if

209
00:11:19,480 --> 00:11:22,400
Speaker 1: all the food was taken away and now everyone's hungry,

210
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:25,680
Speaker 1: not just the food insecure, a hungry. Right, So now

211
00:11:25,760 --> 00:11:28,480
Speaker 1: we're having all these people and I'm using air quotes

212
00:11:28,559 --> 00:11:32,520
Speaker 1: that you know, we're mentally healthier, let's say, than others,

213
00:11:33,160 --> 00:11:35,840
Speaker 1: and now they're going to go in the category of

214
00:11:35,920 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: needing help because pretty traumatic stress is because people that

215
00:11:40,640 --> 00:11:43,120
Speaker 1: never experience, like all of us, anything like this in

216
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:45,760
Speaker 1: their whole lives are now going to be in the

217
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:48,480
Speaker 1: category as if they had a post traumatic stress incident,

218
00:11:49,200 --> 00:11:53,040
Speaker 1: right they had something? Yes, is this app so helpful?

219
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:56,480
Speaker 1: Because kids obviously are really freaking good at apps and

220
00:11:56,520 --> 00:11:59,080
Speaker 1: technology and having shipped on their phone these days. So

221
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,920
Speaker 1: now you're you take funds that you raise for you,

222
00:12:01,920 --> 00:12:03,920
Speaker 1: your mom cares and your I mean you guys use

223
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:06,120
Speaker 1: the funds for so many different things and so much.

224
00:12:07,400 --> 00:12:10,680
Speaker 1: But this app, particularly kids are going to be able

225
00:12:10,720 --> 00:12:16,000
Speaker 1: to on their phone get like therapy sessions, and well,

226
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,200
Speaker 1: can let me explain it. What's wonderful about this app?

227
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:21,000
Speaker 1: Like you said, kids have a phone, No one's knowing

228
00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:24,320
Speaker 1: that they're saying, like I'm having an anxiety attack. You know,

229
00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:26,679
Speaker 1: so and so bullied me. No one knows that this

230
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,800
Speaker 1: is happening. And it doesn't all happen in real time

231
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:32,160
Speaker 1: because it's not someone seven, you know, talking to you

232
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: in real time. However, there is a time limit I

233
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:37,400
Speaker 1: don't know what it is where someone responds, So a

234
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: trained mental health professional is on the other end of

235
00:12:40,200 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: that text. It's not just going into cyberspace. So they

236
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:47,200
Speaker 1: have a relationship with this person and they track like

237
00:12:47,320 --> 00:12:49,960
Speaker 1: the questions they asked where they're nervous, So they nervous

238
00:12:49,960 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: at school, and they nervous at home? Is there something

239
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 1: going on at home? Blah blah blah, And then they

240
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,080
Speaker 1: keep it in their pediatricians record of the child. So

241
00:12:58,120 --> 00:13:00,559
Speaker 1: they now have a mental health like port folio, if

242
00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:04,800
Speaker 1: you will, records right of this child. So to answer

243
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:07,080
Speaker 1: your question, yes, the kid can use it and someone

244
00:13:07,120 --> 00:13:10,000
Speaker 1: can think they're playing on a game or texting their friend. Um,

245
00:13:10,160 --> 00:13:14,280
Speaker 1: they love technology, but there's a person attached and when

246
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:17,280
Speaker 1: there's a warning. If the person on the other end

247
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:22,360
Speaker 1: gets suspicious of something, they are immediately sent to the

248
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: psychiatrist in charge of the account. And we have been

249
00:13:25,240 --> 00:13:28,319
Speaker 1: told we have saved so far one person's actual life,

250
00:13:28,400 --> 00:13:33,559
Speaker 1: I mean actual version, just helping people, young man and UM. Also,

251
00:13:34,120 --> 00:13:39,439
Speaker 1: anxiety can be can become depression in children. Depression can

252
00:13:39,720 --> 00:13:43,719
Speaker 1: I'm saying the word can become violence to themselves or others.

253
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:47,240
Speaker 1: So I also think when I was growing up, correct

254
00:13:47,280 --> 00:13:49,400
Speaker 1: me if I'm wrong, but I think they're there used

255
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,800
Speaker 1: to be such a stigma surrounding mental health, But more

256
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: and more influencers like yourself and You're Awesome Mom group

257
00:13:55,640 --> 00:14:00,839
Speaker 1: are changing that view, UM and beanies doing amazing stuff

258
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: with it too. How do we continue to dissolve the

259
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:06,959
Speaker 1: shame and the embarrassment associated with it, because I imagine

260
00:14:07,120 --> 00:14:11,040
Speaker 1: these kids in the middle of the of wherever they live,

261
00:14:11,200 --> 00:14:15,800
Speaker 1: feeling alone and still ashamed and not knowing even how

262
00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:18,040
Speaker 1: to get help. Well, when I was growing up, you

263
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:20,960
Speaker 1: couldn't say cancer or divorce. You could not say those words.

264
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,600
Speaker 1: Then we couldn't say AIDS, And now it's mental okay.

265
00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: But although it's getting better now. So to answer your questions.

266
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,600
Speaker 1: The more we talk about it, the more common it's

267
00:14:31,640 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: going to be. Oh, I felt anxious. I felt depressed. Honestly.

268
00:14:35,320 --> 00:14:39,360
Speaker 1: The one thing about and this is my opinion about

269
00:14:39,400 --> 00:14:42,920
Speaker 1: the virus, is that anyone can get it. Obviously, um

270
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:46,840
Speaker 1: the underserved communities you know, are hit hardest as always,

271
00:14:47,280 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: But it's it's like mental health. Anyone can get it,

272
00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:52,960
Speaker 1: and a lot more people are gonna be nervous. So

273
00:14:53,160 --> 00:14:55,800
Speaker 1: I think that's gonna help take some of the stigma away.

274
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:59,400
Speaker 1: Any person of influence or fame like yourself can talk

275
00:14:59,440 --> 00:15:02,480
Speaker 1: about it and not be ashamed of it. And honestly,

276
00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:04,720
Speaker 1: I think that we as a society, or at least

277
00:15:04,720 --> 00:15:08,200
Speaker 1: the people I know, I work with or I I'm

278
00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,080
Speaker 1: friends with, are more tolerant. And the more tolerant you

279
00:15:12,120 --> 00:15:17,120
Speaker 1: are about anything anything, the more tolerant everybody becomes about

280
00:15:17,360 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 1: other things. And quite honestly, mental health is not mental health.

281
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: It's health. Health is health. That's it. There's no mentally

282
00:15:25,920 --> 00:15:28,320
Speaker 1: there shouldn't be a line to you. Don't say anchorious health,

283
00:15:28,400 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 1: how's your panchorious Katie has? Today? Like no one really

284
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,600
Speaker 1: says that, right right. I was a nanny for a

285
00:15:35,600 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: long time in l a and I was I've never

286
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:41,880
Speaker 1: been prouder than the day that one of the kids

287
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,320
Speaker 1: I baby said for it. Twelve years old. Her parents

288
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 1: had gotten divorced years like when she was five, and

289
00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: at twelve, she talked to her mom and said, Mom,

290
00:15:52,160 --> 00:15:55,320
Speaker 1: I've been really sad lately, and I think I want

291
00:15:55,360 --> 00:15:58,680
Speaker 1: to talk to someone about that dad isn't around and

292
00:15:58,720 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: stuff like that. But she came forward and asked for

293
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:05,360
Speaker 1: therapy and asked to speak to someone weekly. And I

294
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 1: had never been so proud of being like a small

295
00:16:08,400 --> 00:16:11,320
Speaker 1: little part of this girl's life. That was enough. Nanni's

296
00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:14,520
Speaker 1: are very important, very babysitters, anyone that spends time with

297
00:16:14,560 --> 00:16:18,640
Speaker 1: your children, anyone. Um. But I in that same moment,

298
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,600
Speaker 1: I thought about, you know, she's a confident kid and

299
00:16:21,800 --> 00:16:24,760
Speaker 1: she had the wherewithal to ask for help, and I

300
00:16:24,800 --> 00:16:28,880
Speaker 1: am sure that most kids don't have that. How how

301
00:16:28,920 --> 00:16:34,160
Speaker 1: does your your mom cares help kids who are suffering

302
00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:38,120
Speaker 1: in silence? We were not If we get we get

303
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 1: emails or private messages on Instagram, let's say we refer

304
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: them to the professionals. Okay, let's start with that again.

305
00:16:44,920 --> 00:16:46,880
Speaker 1: We are not professionals. We do not give that advice.

306
00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,479
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two is we're trying to destigmatize anything.

307
00:16:51,840 --> 00:16:54,760
Speaker 1: Some of our biggest supporters are you know, moms that

308
00:16:55,040 --> 00:16:57,680
Speaker 1: are not working, have four kids, and two of them

309
00:16:57,680 --> 00:17:01,160
Speaker 1: have mental health issues, and they are so grateful that

310
00:17:01,240 --> 00:17:04,600
Speaker 1: we're drawing attention, getting rid of stigma, giving a voice

311
00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,720
Speaker 1: to these voiceless that that's how we help. Okay, let's

312
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,600
Speaker 1: start with that. That's one thing that I can say

313
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,520
Speaker 1: we do proudly, and we do it consistently. If you

314
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: have someone like Alicia Keys talking to the kids and

315
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,959
Speaker 1: and saying this and that, you know, people listen, so

316
00:17:18,040 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: that we try to get rid of the stigma. Obviously,

317
00:17:20,200 --> 00:17:23,000
Speaker 1: because there should be no stigma about anything. I will

318
00:17:23,040 --> 00:17:25,600
Speaker 1: just say that my particular children only speak for myself.

319
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:27,560
Speaker 1: I think they do a good job of that of

320
00:17:27,600 --> 00:17:31,760
Speaker 1: being very inclusive and kind people that I will say that,

321
00:17:31,840 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: So I'm proud of that. But um, we also we're

322
00:17:35,359 --> 00:17:38,600
Speaker 1: we're having we have this innovative research. So if this

323
00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: app works, we are going to be helping so many

324
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:45,080
Speaker 1: people that email us and I could say, download the app,

325
00:17:45,280 --> 00:17:48,520
Speaker 1: have your pediatrician prescribed, you know, put a prescription and

326
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,000
Speaker 1: hopefully it's going to be covered by some sort of

327
00:17:51,040 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 1: health care. I mean that's our goal. Okay with that,

328
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,880
Speaker 1: But then then the other thing is, um, I call

329
00:17:57,200 --> 00:18:00,439
Speaker 1: your mom Cares the Netflix of nonprofits. It. I like

330
00:18:00,560 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: the ring. I like the way it sounds. Let me

331
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: tell you why. Because we have our own content and

332
00:18:06,240 --> 00:18:08,680
Speaker 1: we support other people's content. So that's why I call

333
00:18:08,760 --> 00:18:12,880
Speaker 1: us Netflix. We're very innovative. We're creative and coming from

334
00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:16,760
Speaker 1: my background and being the CEO and like the idea woman.

335
00:18:17,600 --> 00:18:20,760
Speaker 1: I took a charity children's health phone that we adore.

336
00:18:20,960 --> 00:18:25,080
Speaker 1: It's a wonderful charity and I challenge them to come

337
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: up with something that no one's ever done for kids

338
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:30,919
Speaker 1: mental health. They have buses that they have in twenty

339
00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,719
Speaker 1: one places in the most vulnerable areas of the country.

340
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:37,879
Speaker 1: We funded these um mental health component of a bus

341
00:18:38,119 --> 00:18:40,439
Speaker 1: in South l A. We started a program. It was

342
00:18:40,480 --> 00:18:43,159
Speaker 1: going great, and then I said, listen, I want to

343
00:18:43,160 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: do something more, better, different, And you know, I want

344
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:49,440
Speaker 1: a sparkle cell phone for mental health. That's what I want.

345
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:51,679
Speaker 1: I want a sparkle cell phone. And I promise you

346
00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:54,240
Speaker 1: I'll get you the money, give me that sparkle cell phone.

347
00:18:54,800 --> 00:18:57,400
Speaker 1: I was a risk taking adventure, but I did it anyway.

348
00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,959
Speaker 1: So so they came up with this thing called Right

349
00:19:00,240 --> 00:19:04,720
Speaker 1: Stars and it's the first ever Katie Homeless Children's mental

350
00:19:04,760 --> 00:19:09,159
Speaker 1: health group therapy on skid roup and it is unbelievable.

351
00:19:09,160 --> 00:19:12,359
Speaker 1: Obviously it's not occurring right the second however, the social

352
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,399
Speaker 1: worker is in contact with all the kids via phone

353
00:19:15,440 --> 00:19:18,639
Speaker 1: and checks on them and also has obviously pivoted and

354
00:19:18,760 --> 00:19:21,639
Speaker 1: is delivering you know, some health supplies and some food supply,

355
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:24,439
Speaker 1: you know, things like that during this during this is

356
00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,960
Speaker 1: it's amazing you guys. Again, this is I was gonna

357
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:30,200
Speaker 1: ask you. This is great. It's Children's Health Fund Rising Stars.

358
00:19:30,240 --> 00:19:33,520
Speaker 1: It's the first ever group therapy program for teens at

359
00:19:33,560 --> 00:19:36,400
Speaker 1: the Union Rescue Mission, which is a large homeless shelter

360
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: on skin right on. And also, I can't that's never happened,

361
00:19:41,560 --> 00:19:44,040
Speaker 1: like never. Well that's what I really like, the never

362
00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:47,879
Speaker 1: happened part because hopefully it will succeed, and if it succeeds,

363
00:19:47,920 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: then it can go all over the country. Then people

364
00:19:49,960 --> 00:19:53,200
Speaker 1: can start recognizing there's a need and no one ever

365
00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 1: really attended to this need. And when somebody is homeless

366
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,080
Speaker 1: and has all these fears to add someone else, like

367
00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:01,320
Speaker 1: in a group it's like you feel like you're with

368
00:20:01,359 --> 00:20:04,000
Speaker 1: other people that are like you. Absolutely, and I think

369
00:20:04,040 --> 00:20:07,159
Speaker 1: that's a wonderful thing. And I just think, you know,

370
00:20:07,240 --> 00:20:10,880
Speaker 1: especially in underserved communities. Underserved communities do not have access

371
00:20:10,920 --> 00:20:26,040
Speaker 1: to this. What is the hardest thing facing your mom

372
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:30,119
Speaker 1: cares right now? Fund fundraising the special event we were

373
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:31,719
Speaker 1: gonna have which I don't want to talk about, just

374
00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,159
Speaker 1: like a secret thing, and I want to still do it. Eventually,

375
00:20:34,440 --> 00:20:37,080
Speaker 1: you'll do it. I believe in you, is not gonna happen.

376
00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:41,560
Speaker 1: So I would say fundraising and with the promise that

377
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,760
Speaker 1: we will work our hardest to take those dollars and

378
00:20:44,840 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: put them towards something that has either never been done

379
00:20:47,520 --> 00:20:49,919
Speaker 1: that could be a game changer. My thing that I

380
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: say is if I move the needle like a tiny

381
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:55,280
Speaker 1: bit to the right, that could be miraculous. That's just

382
00:20:55,320 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: a tiny bit. Well, because the trickle effect it affects

383
00:20:58,040 --> 00:20:59,600
Speaker 1: so many people. I mean, if we could have the

384
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:03,080
Speaker 1: Rise Stars like first ever, the bus program in every

385
00:21:03,160 --> 00:21:07,320
Speaker 1: city right, or or the tele mental health prescribed to

386
00:21:07,359 --> 00:21:11,400
Speaker 1: every kid and and covered by insurance would be unbelievable.

387
00:21:11,760 --> 00:21:14,680
Speaker 1: My point is, you give us the money, and I'm

388
00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:16,840
Speaker 1: not trying to like edge anyone else out we will

389
00:21:16,880 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: find the best use of that money. But we'll also

390
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,960
Speaker 1: talk about it because we have the power of our voice,

391
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:27,399
Speaker 1: and our children have a voice. My households specifically, you

392
00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:29,240
Speaker 1: give back no matter what. But if you have a

393
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: voice that people are gonna listen to, you have to

394
00:21:31,160 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: use it. I love it. Let's and let's just to

395
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:37,280
Speaker 1: to talk about this crew, the Core moms. Wait, don't

396
00:21:37,280 --> 00:21:38,840
Speaker 1: say hello to me on the street, because you'll become

397
00:21:38,880 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: a Core mom. We have we have Katie we I'm in,

398
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,240
Speaker 1: I'm in Like, I'm so in. We have Taria Joseph,

399
00:21:46,240 --> 00:21:48,840
Speaker 1: Alicia Key's mom, Don and Jordan's Michael b Jordan's mom,

400
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,840
Speaker 1: Robin Paul, Chris Paul's mom, Joan Kimmel, Jimmy Kimmel's mom,

401
00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:54,960
Speaker 1: paul Ata Washington, John David Washington's mom, Cathy deVie Caitlin

402
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:57,960
Speaker 1: Devere's mom. Oh, I see how that happened? Book smart,

403
00:21:58,119 --> 00:22:01,240
Speaker 1: Nice Katie, she's the best. And Sarah Gilbert, who I

404
00:22:01,320 --> 00:22:04,000
Speaker 1: also love. Sarah Gilbert was another whole story. But that's

405
00:22:04,000 --> 00:22:06,120
Speaker 1: a funny story that maybe I shouldn't tell on the podcast.

406
00:22:06,119 --> 00:22:08,840
Speaker 1: But this health I helped get her kid to private school.

407
00:22:08,920 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: There's no no, she was kind of my cousin for

408
00:22:11,960 --> 00:22:17,520
Speaker 1: a minute. That's another long story. You hear it here, folks.

409
00:22:17,560 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: She needs to have her own podcast where you just

410
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:24,359
Speaker 1: tell your stories for a hundred hours. Everybody would listen,

411
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:30,639
Speaker 1: myself included. So let's talk about COVID nineteen. Okay, So

412
00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:35,840
Speaker 1: COVID nineteen for Children's Health Fund like any mom, right,

413
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:39,360
Speaker 1: we have an emergency fund. The emergency fund is so basically,

414
00:22:39,359 --> 00:22:41,199
Speaker 1: I can do whatever I want. And I'm just at

415
00:22:41,240 --> 00:22:42,879
Speaker 1: the joke that was a joke out there we have.

416
00:22:43,040 --> 00:22:48,360
Speaker 1: It's hilarious. It's so that if there's an emergency. Obviously

417
00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,360
Speaker 1: this is the biggest emergency any of us, I hope

418
00:22:50,400 --> 00:22:53,080
Speaker 1: will ever experience in our lives. But if there's an emergency,

419
00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,520
Speaker 1: we can take the money that we have raised and

420
00:22:55,600 --> 00:22:59,560
Speaker 1: pivot it a little bit towards that emergency. As an example,

421
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:02,560
Speaker 1: Flint Michigan. We've given money to Flint Michigan because they're

422
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:05,360
Speaker 1: leading the Water is affection mental health. We've given money

423
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: to the Border Kids because that creates anxiety separation disorder.

424
00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,720
Speaker 1: We have given money to other um groups. Everything is

425
00:23:12,720 --> 00:23:15,480
Speaker 1: mental health because I've worked with kids with cancer. My

426
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:17,520
Speaker 1: entire life. If you take a blank piece of paper

427
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:19,600
Speaker 1: and I say to you, what's on that paper, you

428
00:23:19,680 --> 00:23:21,680
Speaker 1: say nothing. That's what a kid with mental health issues

429
00:23:21,760 --> 00:23:27,240
Speaker 1: looks like. So this virus is creating so much anxiety, food, insecurity,

430
00:23:27,480 --> 00:23:31,240
Speaker 1: no school, no routine, parents are losing their jobs, everybody's

431
00:23:31,280 --> 00:23:34,639
Speaker 1: fighting in the home. The levels of what's going on

432
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:38,920
Speaker 1: is unbearable. So we we are partners with Children's Health

433
00:23:38,920 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: Fund and they are boots on the ground with their

434
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:46,840
Speaker 1: twenty one units across the country Free in New York City, Bronx, Brooklyn,

435
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:50,520
Speaker 1: and I think Manhattan Um where they used to be

436
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:52,520
Speaker 1: in a certain spot that the kids knew, let's say,

437
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:54,960
Speaker 1: in front of an elementary school or whatever. Now they're

438
00:23:55,080 --> 00:23:59,320
Speaker 1: parked intents at hospitals. So kids, who have you have asthma,

439
00:23:59,560 --> 00:24:01,280
Speaker 1: you have died, beaties, you have cancer, you're a kid.

440
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:04,560
Speaker 1: You still you need treatment. You're not just gonna perish

441
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,919
Speaker 1: from a virus. You could perish from something else. So

442
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,480
Speaker 1: they're taking care of the kids outside the hospital, so

443
00:24:10,520 --> 00:24:13,600
Speaker 1: they do not go into the hospital, and they can't

444
00:24:13,600 --> 00:24:16,560
Speaker 1: go on the bus because the spacing, so they want

445
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:20,760
Speaker 1: at a time they test the kids and they provide services, food,

446
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:23,920
Speaker 1: whatever they need. All the programs we've talked to said,

447
00:24:24,440 --> 00:24:28,280
Speaker 1: right now, kids need basic needs. If they don't have food,

448
00:24:28,400 --> 00:24:30,880
Speaker 1: it won't matter. Like if they have to eat, they

449
00:24:30,880 --> 00:24:33,119
Speaker 1: have to eat. They have to eat, they have to drink,

450
00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: and they have to be cleaned. Like the basic essentials

451
00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,199
Speaker 1: are things that you can readily get. Like, I like

452
00:24:40,280 --> 00:24:42,640
Speaker 1: that can you can readily help with. That will make

453
00:24:42,920 --> 00:24:45,119
Speaker 1: a great impact to even start to work on the

454
00:24:45,119 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 1: other stuff. But while they're there, they are doctors, you

455
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:51,239
Speaker 1: see what I'm saying. While they are there, they are

456
00:24:51,520 --> 00:24:53,440
Speaker 1: so like, I can't tell you how much we would

457
00:24:53,440 --> 00:24:56,360

464
00:25:11,840 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: the phone with my therapist today and she was like,

465
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:17,000
Speaker 1: you know what, I think we shouldn't only do once

466
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: next week, We'll do Monday. I was like, you're right,

467
00:25:19,240 --> 00:25:23,680
Speaker 1: You're right, Um, so how can people get involved and

468

Speaker 1: support the cause. Everyone has to do their part, especially

Speaker 1: We also, I didn't get to say tell this part too.

475
00:25:42,400 --> 00:25:44,280
Speaker 1: We have a lot. Actually I don't think we're doing

476
00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:47,520
Speaker 1: so bad considering that's here. But we have expert moms.

477
00:25:47,840 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: So our expert moms give advice, and so we post

478
00:25:50,920 --> 00:25:54,439
Speaker 1: their advice because they're you know, psychiatrists and psychologists and

479
00:25:55,320 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: I love that exercise like you know exercise teachers and

480
00:25:58,440 --> 00:26:01,320
Speaker 1: chefs and healthy eating and your Frisian and some people

481
00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,920
Speaker 1: don't have the funds to fundraise, but they have expertise.

482
00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:07,639
Speaker 1: We want every mom. This is not a celebrity influencer

483
00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:10,919
Speaker 1: mom thing. The reason we started it was because it

484
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:14,400
Speaker 1: gives us a voice. That's it. But once you get

485
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:16,399
Speaker 1: that voice, if you don't know what to say, and

486
00:26:16,440 --> 00:26:18,199
Speaker 1: you don't put your money where your mouth is, and

487
00:26:18,200 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: you don't come up with great ideas, no one's gonna

488
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,159
Speaker 1: want to listen to you anymore. I said, that's what

489
00:26:23,280 --> 00:26:25,560
Speaker 1: I found. So I like to keep it fresh, Katie.

490
00:26:25,600 --> 00:26:28,000
Speaker 1: I like to keep it fresh. What do your kids

491
00:26:28,080 --> 00:26:31,920
Speaker 1: think of the work you do? I think they, honestly,

492
00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,240
Speaker 1: I know that they're very proud of me. I think

493
00:26:34,280 --> 00:26:37,840
Speaker 1: they think it's incredible. I think they can't believe the

494
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:43,760
Speaker 1: balls you got big, honest Sharon Feldstein, You're tackling one

495
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: of the biggest topics of my generation for sure. I mean,

496
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:51,040
Speaker 1: mental health came about in a major way to front

497
00:26:51,119 --> 00:26:53,359
Speaker 1: lines for me growing up as a kid, and it

498
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:56,360
Speaker 1: is one of my biggest concerns as a mom. So

499
00:26:56,920 --> 00:26:59,840
Speaker 1: but I'm not tackling it. You're tackling it now because

500
00:26:59,840 --> 00:27:01,919
Speaker 1: you gotta go big or go home. I think if

501
00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 1: you're passive and you're sit in your room and you

502
00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,679
Speaker 1: do nothing, I feel sorry for you. What kind of

503
00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:08,479
Speaker 1: life is that? My motto in life, just show up

504
00:27:08,520 --> 00:27:11,479
Speaker 1: because you are not going to get anything if you

505
00:27:11,520 --> 00:27:14,120
Speaker 1: sit in your house, in your room, and if you're tired.

506
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:15,919
Speaker 1: I tell the kids that I'm talking to you like

507
00:27:15,920 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: I'm talking to the kids if you're tired. I'm not

508
00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,400
Speaker 1: saying if you're sick with a fever. And now obviously

509
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:22,760
Speaker 1: the motto was just stay home. But you can also

510
00:27:22,840 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 1: show up in your head. You don't have to do

511
00:27:24,800 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: a physical You can show up for someone who's sad.

512
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: You can give someone a call, you can tell them

513
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,439
Speaker 1: a joke. That's showing up. But in the old days

514
00:27:32,760 --> 00:27:36,440
Speaker 1: before the virus, just show up. It matters. You don't

515
00:27:36,520 --> 00:27:38,000
Speaker 1: know who you're gonna meet, You don't know who you're

516
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Speaker 1: gonna talk to. You don't know what door is gonna

517
00:27:40,040 --> 00:27:46,160
Speaker 1: crack open. Brava, Brava. What is your last words of wisdom?

518
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:49,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna give you and your viewers whatever we are

519
00:27:49,160 --> 00:27:52,240
Speaker 1: a listeners, viewers whatever. I'm gonna give them advice that

520
00:27:52,359 --> 00:27:56,359
Speaker 1: that a psychi pediatric psychiatrist told me. And when I speak,

521
00:27:56,440 --> 00:27:59,960
Speaker 1: I bring it up all the time. Mothers are petrophile

522
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:04,520
Speaker 1: of their children, especially when they're teenagers. And the number two,

523
00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: this is not a fun statistic. I'm gonna give you

524
00:28:07,160 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: a number two cause of death in ten year olds

525
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,360
Speaker 1: and above in the United States of America is suicide

526
00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:15,919
Speaker 1: too okay, over ten and the parents are afraid to

527
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:18,119
Speaker 1: like knock on that door. You hear those commercials with

528
00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:20,640
Speaker 1: them screaming at you, and they have petrified of their

529
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:23,520
Speaker 1: own children. And the best advice I can give to

530
00:28:23,560 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 1: those mothers that was from Dr ken Nash, not Sharon Feldstein.

531
00:28:27,320 --> 00:28:31,520
Speaker 1: Dr ken Nash is you will never push them over

532
00:28:31,560 --> 00:28:34,560
Speaker 1: the edge by showing that you care or knocking on

533
00:28:34,600 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: their door. Whatever they may have attempt or try to

534
00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:42,680
Speaker 1: do is not because you've attended to them. So do

535
00:28:42,840 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: not be afraid. It could be that olive branch. And

536
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,120
Speaker 1: I think that's the most important advice I've ever maybe

537
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:52,520
Speaker 1: ever given to anyone ever, because you could save lives.

538
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:57,200
Speaker 1: I have such goose bumps right now because I you know,

539
00:28:57,320 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: I there are days where I'm like scared of my toddler,

540
00:28:59,840 --> 00:29:02,640
Speaker 1: like he's having a massive fucking tantrum, and I'm like,

541
00:29:02,640 --> 00:29:04,479
Speaker 1: oh shit, I don't know how I'm going to get

542
00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,600
Speaker 1: through the teenage years when you're dealing with like real stuff.

543
00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:11,080
Speaker 1: But the the the idea of just being strong enough

544
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,560
Speaker 1: and brave enough to knock on that door and ask

545
00:29:14,640 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: what's going on. It brings us back to that we

546
00:29:16,560 --> 00:29:19,600
Speaker 1: nag you because we love you. Like That's my mom

547
00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:22,080
Speaker 1: was like that, She's still like that, Oh my god,

548
00:29:22,640 --> 00:29:25,080
Speaker 1: I mean, I love my mother so much. We talked

549
00:29:25,040 --> 00:29:27,120
Speaker 1: a million times a day, but the it's it's like

550
00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,440
Speaker 1: and now it's gone on to my son, you know

551
00:29:29,440 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: what I mean. Now I have a kid, so forget it.

552
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:35,880
Speaker 1: But I can't thank you enough for all of your

553
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,560
Speaker 1: words of wisdom? Is did I leave anything out? Is

554
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:42,719
Speaker 1: there anything that we forgot to mention about yours? But

555
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: I can't remember it? Well, we're gonna link to it.

556
00:29:45,560 --> 00:29:47,800
Speaker 1: We always do crib notes at the bottom and people

557
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: can link. And I'll definitely be posting it and give

558
00:29:51,720 --> 00:29:53,360
Speaker 1: out my cell phone in case anybody wants to chat

559
00:29:53,400 --> 00:29:57,800
Speaker 1: with me later. And I was kidding you the greatest

560
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,480
Speaker 1: person ever. And when we are out of our quarantine,

561
00:30:02,560 --> 00:30:06,720
Speaker 1: I am coming to The Bachelor's my favorite show. Okay,

562
00:30:06,320 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: I don't know if you're if the Monday Night hang

Speaker 1: you know you have friends of all ages, you have

568

Speaker 1: friends from all walks of life. You've lived nine lives yourself,

569
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:29,720
Speaker 1: and in fact nine is way too little of a number.

570
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: I feel like you've had a lot of careers, a

571
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:36,560
Speaker 1: lot of experiences, and I'm so um. I'm just really
