Shelly 20 00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:08,839 Speaker 1: fan Fan how you doing. I am well, hello, thank 21 00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,600 Speaker 1: you for having me? Well you seem bright? Chipper is 22 00:01:11,640 --> 00:01:15,440 Speaker 1: that it's a standard m for your personality? Absolutely, I 23 00:01:15,480 --> 00:01:19,120 Speaker 1: got up this morning. I still have purpose. Uh, impact 24 00:01:19,440 --> 00:01:24,600 Speaker 1: is my my my currency. So yes, there's so much 25 00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:27,200 Speaker 1: more to smile about than there is to frown about. 26 00:01:27,400 --> 00:01:28,960 Speaker 1: But you know, but you always get these people go, 27 00:01:29,080 --> 00:01:31,280 Speaker 1: why are you so happy? Well, you know they want 28 00:01:31,280 --> 00:01:33,199 Speaker 1: to bring you down, you know they want they feel 29 00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:36,680 Speaker 1: there's a reason or dysfunctional role in your life to 30 00:01:36,800 --> 00:01:40,080 Speaker 1: have this level of enthusiasm that I say that not 31 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:42,920 Speaker 1: even joking, because they have people like that. How do 32 00:01:43,080 --> 00:01:46,440 Speaker 1: you how do you deal with people who who have 33 00:01:46,560 --> 00:01:49,920 Speaker 1: that negative built in energy that they want to just 34 00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:54,720 Speaker 1: spread instead of absorbing positivity. I try to be as 35 00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,720 Speaker 1: positive as possible and make sure that I do that consistently. 36 00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: Because being for filled and being in purpose and finding 37 00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:06,200 Speaker 1: a reason to smile is no longer a normal thing. 38 00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:09,880 Speaker 1: It's quite abnormal. So when people respond to that, it's 39 00:02:09,960 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: because they are expecting you to be defeated. They're expecting 40 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,519 Speaker 1: you to be discouraged, They're expected you to be at 41 00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: your wits end, And so it's not uncommon for people 42 00:02:20,639 --> 00:02:23,040 Speaker 1: to ask me like, why are you smiling so big? 43 00:02:23,280 --> 00:02:26,120 Speaker 1: But the reason why my mantra is lived in your 44 00:02:26,160 --> 00:02:28,840 Speaker 1: smile is because I went through that stage in my 45 00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:32,120 Speaker 1: life where I'm you know, you know, I spread the 46 00:02:32,200 --> 00:02:35,240 Speaker 1: misery because I was so miserable on the inside, and 47 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:40,040 Speaker 1: so I am very intentional about spreading positivity. And when 48 00:02:40,080 --> 00:02:42,560 Speaker 1: I deal with people or when I come to across 49 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: across people who have that attitude, I just basically confunct 50 00:02:48,560 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: them and encourage them to fix their focus, and um, 51 00:02:52,560 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: I try my best to give them a different perspective 52 00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:59,360 Speaker 1: and let them know that there's so much more working 53 00:02:59,480 --> 00:03:02,360 Speaker 1: for us then there is working against us when you 54 00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:05,160 Speaker 1: speak of that different perspective, because if it's based on 55 00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,840 Speaker 1: who you meet, there's no cookie cutter game plan you 56 00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:11,440 Speaker 1: can give to everybody. Otherwise you're not really servicing them 57 00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:15,200 Speaker 1: correctly and also hearing their issues. You know, now, your 58 00:03:15,280 --> 00:03:17,840 Speaker 1: name is that I introduced you with Shelley fan Fan 59 00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,560 Speaker 1: was that born and raised name? It is? Okay? Cool? 60 00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:23,920 Speaker 1: So you know, we go through life and you know, 61 00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:27,200 Speaker 1: I remember when middle school at times I was bullied, okay, 62 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:29,320 Speaker 1: and you have a name, your name as a little 63 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:32,760 Speaker 1: oddity to a fan fan, So will you tease and 64 00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:35,160 Speaker 1: when you would tease, did they lead to any bullying 65 00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:38,360 Speaker 1: incidents that you can remember that you have to overcome 66 00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:41,400 Speaker 1: or share with your parents or the teachers to to 67 00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,720 Speaker 1: you know, keep you focused and enjoy going to school. 68 00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,600 Speaker 1: I'm happy that you bring that up such a good 69 00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:50,640 Speaker 1: question because I love my name. Now it works so 70 00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: well with campaigns because people are like, I'm a fan 71 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:55,400 Speaker 1: of fan Fan. I'm like, yeah, keep that energy going. 72 00:03:55,720 --> 00:03:58,120 Speaker 1: But let me tell you, I never It took a 73 00:03:58,240 --> 00:04:01,160 Speaker 1: long time for me to really race that name because 74 00:04:01,200 --> 00:04:04,440 Speaker 1: I was bullied. Fan Fan is a very uncommon name. 75 00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:08,840 Speaker 1: Is actually of Haitian descent. It's pronounced Fafa, but of 76 00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:12,320 Speaker 1: course you know in our English language it is pronounced 77 00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,080 Speaker 1: fan fan. That's what people get, that's how they are 78 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: able to pronounce it. And so in school, I was 79 00:04:18,960 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: bullied for having a very strange last name. I was 80 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:26,120 Speaker 1: bullied for being so skinny. I was bullied for being Haitian, 81 00:04:27,760 --> 00:04:30,080 Speaker 1: all the things that make me me, and so it 82 00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:34,479 Speaker 1: really impacted my capacity to self accept Now. You know, 83 00:04:34,560 --> 00:04:37,599 Speaker 1: I know that I would when I look back in 84 00:04:37,680 --> 00:04:40,240 Speaker 1: my life, I kind of went with the flow. You know, 85 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:42,159 Speaker 1: when I say that is that the things that people 86 00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: tease me about, I stopped doing it so I could 87 00:04:45,560 --> 00:04:48,520 Speaker 1: fit in, you know, like they like my teacher used 88 00:04:48,520 --> 00:04:51,159 Speaker 1: to always ask me to read publicly, you know, and 89 00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:53,839 Speaker 1: in the classroom. And one I remember a couple of 90 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:57,240 Speaker 1: students they were very, very upset that I was always 91 00:04:57,320 --> 00:04:59,599 Speaker 1: chosen to read. And that really hit me when I 92 00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:02,279 Speaker 1: look back on it, and not not just started, you know, 93 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,320 Speaker 1: just started breaking up my words and saying aid instead 94 00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:09,120 Speaker 1: of isn't so I can stop being the special student 95 00:05:09,360 --> 00:05:12,800 Speaker 1: and so and so. I understand that because of the 96 00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,719 Speaker 1: fact that when you start talking about mental health, people 97 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,400 Speaker 1: need to understand it doesn't start in high school. It 98 00:05:18,480 --> 00:05:20,839 Speaker 1: just start as an adult. Sometimes you can go all 99 00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 1: the way back to you know, uh, preschool, how the 100 00:05:25,200 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: adults allowed certain situations, the crying baby or the kid 101 00:05:29,440 --> 00:05:32,320 Speaker 1: in the corner by itself, or the way the kids dressed, 102 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:35,840 Speaker 1: and because kids started a blank slate. So let's start 103 00:05:35,839 --> 00:05:38,960 Speaker 1: at the at the at that age level that you 104 00:05:39,080 --> 00:05:43,120 Speaker 1: start counseling and and and treating, so we can then 105 00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: we move up to adolescents, then teens, then adults, and 106 00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:48,440 Speaker 1: adults are a whole new story. But sometimes if you 107 00:05:48,480 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: don't get your adulthood with the proper guidance, then your 108 00:05:52,440 --> 00:05:57,880 Speaker 1: disaster correct. Well, I'd like to take it back one 109 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:02,680 Speaker 1: more stage, and that's in vitro. And it's important for 110 00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:06,960 Speaker 1: people to understand that mental health starts when you are 111 00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,159 Speaker 1: in the womb of your mom. Because in your womb, 112 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:16,680 Speaker 1: in the womb of a woman, a child is developing. 113 00:06:16,800 --> 00:06:21,000 Speaker 1: The brain is developing, there is a soul, they have 114 00:06:21,240 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: the sense of hearing. I could go on and on 115 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:29,240 Speaker 1: about the fetus inside of a woman's womb. And a 116 00:06:29,240 --> 00:06:32,000 Speaker 1: lot of the times when I'm dealing with individuals who 117 00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:35,920 Speaker 1: are trying to overcome trauma, their trauma dates back all 118 00:06:35,920 --> 00:06:38,159 Speaker 1: the way to when they were in their mother's womb. 119 00:06:38,480 --> 00:06:40,799 Speaker 1: And it could be because the mother was a victim 120 00:06:40,839 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: of violence herself, or the mother was a drug abuser. 121 00:06:44,839 --> 00:06:47,280 Speaker 1: I could go on and on, and so it's important 122 00:06:47,320 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: to understand that our mental health lifeline actually starts when 123 00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,680 Speaker 1: we were in the womb of our mother's The way 124 00:06:55,720 --> 00:06:59,400 Speaker 1: that our mothers cared for them for herself, her mental health, 125 00:06:59,720 --> 00:07:02,800 Speaker 1: how well she attended to her health needs while she 126 00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:06,479 Speaker 1: was pregnant with you, has to do and it is 127 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:10,640 Speaker 1: included in the mental health lifeline. When we're working with 128 00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:14,760 Speaker 1: preschool children or kindergarteners, those young because I treat from 129 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:19,480 Speaker 1: the ages of two to it's important to understand that 130 00:07:19,520 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 1: there's so much um of there's so much involved in 131 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:33,480 Speaker 1: a child's development of self identity that incorporates their peer interactions. 132 00:07:33,560 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: And so when we as parents and caregivers minimize when 133 00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:40,480 Speaker 1: they come to us and say such and such was 134 00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:43,360 Speaker 1: talking about meet all the things that we find trivial, 135 00:07:43,680 --> 00:07:46,960 Speaker 1: it's very huge to a child, and so it's important 136 00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:53,320 Speaker 1: to understand that those things create impressions. Everything creates impressions. 137 00:07:53,400 --> 00:07:59,040 Speaker 1: Our brain is a huge recorder. Even those memories that 138 00:07:59,080 --> 00:08:03,160 Speaker 1: we don't have access to have power. And so as 139 00:08:03,280 --> 00:08:07,480 Speaker 1: we developed through those developmental stages and we are trying 140 00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,520 Speaker 1: to find ourselves, it's important to understand that all of 141 00:08:11,560 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 1: those experiences matter. They are impressions, and what we impress 142 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:22,760 Speaker 1: we will express. What we impress is what we express. 143 00:08:22,800 --> 00:08:24,680 Speaker 1: So a lot of times when I'm working with adults, 144 00:08:24,720 --> 00:08:27,720 Speaker 1: it's important for me to kind of go back to 145 00:08:27,880 --> 00:08:32,640 Speaker 1: those learned experiences that cause those impressions and try to 146 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: unlearn them so that they can find some freedom and 147 00:08:36,880 --> 00:08:42,400 Speaker 1: the opportunity to relearn healthy connections and healthy ideas. We'll 148 00:08:42,400 --> 00:08:45,920 Speaker 1: be right back with more Money Making Conversations Masterclass with 149 00:08:46,040 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: Rushan McDonald. Now, let's return to Money Making Conversations Masterclass 150 00:08:52,880 --> 00:08:56,559 Speaker 1: with Rashan McDonald. Absolutely. Now as I'm talking to doctor, 151 00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,079 Speaker 1: excuse me, I'm talking to Shelley fan Fan. She is 152 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:05,319 Speaker 1: a license important, licensed mental health counselor and our reason like, 153 00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:09,360 Speaker 1: I've been interviewed a lot of African Americans, people of 154 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:13,720 Speaker 1: color about mental health because in the community of black 155 00:09:13,760 --> 00:09:16,840 Speaker 1: and brown we kind of shy way, you know, because 156 00:09:17,160 --> 00:09:19,679 Speaker 1: just using street terms, I don't want to think I'm crazy, 157 00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:21,839 Speaker 1: you know, I don't think you know, you know, people 158 00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:25,839 Speaker 1: still use the word retarded and associated with you know, craziness, 159 00:09:25,880 --> 00:09:29,880 Speaker 1: and you know, these are terminologies within our community that 160 00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:33,400 Speaker 1: we have not wrapped our conversation around, and that that 161 00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,959 Speaker 1: doesn't allow us to move forward. You know, we call 162 00:09:36,040 --> 00:09:39,880 Speaker 1: our kids slow. You know, it's still humor tied to 163 00:09:40,559 --> 00:09:45,719 Speaker 1: a child not functioning properly. That child may be discarded 164 00:09:45,760 --> 00:09:48,160 Speaker 1: into the back of the house or or to a 165 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:51,760 Speaker 1: different conversation, or may not be included in part of 166 00:09:51,760 --> 00:09:56,280 Speaker 1: the family conversation because of embarrassment. How do you deal 167 00:09:56,360 --> 00:09:59,400 Speaker 1: with those because, like I said, we started to move 168 00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:04,760 Speaker 1: forward now, because it's called participation, it's called inclusive awareness 169 00:10:04,840 --> 00:10:13,000 Speaker 1: of a child, um intelligence, a child's social adaptbility, adaptability, 170 00:10:13,240 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: and things like that. Talk to us well, it starts 171 00:10:16,480 --> 00:10:20,880 Speaker 1: with education because our breakthrough is often on the other 172 00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,559 Speaker 1: side of something we do not know. And so this 173 00:10:23,679 --> 00:10:28,120 Speaker 1: idea of crazy. Usually when people say crazy, I asked them, 174 00:10:28,240 --> 00:10:30,880 Speaker 1: what does that look like for you? And so most 175 00:10:30,920 --> 00:10:34,200 Speaker 1: people will define like a person. Think of a man 176 00:10:34,360 --> 00:10:38,000 Speaker 1: at a seven eleven who's talking to himself, you know, 177 00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:42,560 Speaker 1: wiggling his fingers and responding to internal stimuli. Most of 178 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: the time people see that as mental illness. When they 179 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: think of the word mental health, they automatically think mental illness, 180 00:10:51,800 --> 00:10:55,559 Speaker 1: the person who has schizophrenia, the person who has bipolar 181 00:10:55,600 --> 00:10:59,559 Speaker 1: who's blowing up things, burning things, and having anger outbursts. 182 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:04,160 Speaker 1: And what I try to teach every opportunity that I have, 183 00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,240 Speaker 1: especially to black and brown communities, is that mental health 184 00:11:09,440 --> 00:11:15,120 Speaker 1: is a spectrum. It starts with being completely whole and 185 00:11:15,320 --> 00:11:19,360 Speaker 1: emotionally well, and most of us do not fit into 186 00:11:19,400 --> 00:11:25,680 Speaker 1: that category all the way to having a diagnosable mental 187 00:11:25,679 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: health disorder. So what I try to teach is, what 188 00:11:29,440 --> 00:11:33,280 Speaker 1: does it look like outside of that space, outside of 189 00:11:33,320 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: the area that criteria from mental illness, What does the 190 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:39,400 Speaker 1: rest of that spectrum look like? The rest of that 191 00:11:39,480 --> 00:11:43,560 Speaker 1: spectrum looks like your inability to commit to another person. 192 00:11:44,480 --> 00:11:47,200 Speaker 1: It looks like your inability to get eight hours of 193 00:11:47,320 --> 00:11:52,120 Speaker 1: uninterrupted rests. It looks like your self doubt. It looks 194 00:11:52,160 --> 00:11:55,400 Speaker 1: like your fear and anxiety that keeps you stuck. It 195 00:11:55,400 --> 00:11:58,680 Speaker 1: looks like your procrastination. It looks like that book that 196 00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:01,480 Speaker 1: you haven't written. It looks like that song that you 197 00:12:01,600 --> 00:12:06,320 Speaker 1: haven't sung. It looks like your inability to overcome your 198 00:12:06,440 --> 00:12:12,720 Speaker 1: emotional issues. It's your inability to to communicate effectively without 199 00:12:12,760 --> 00:12:17,120 Speaker 1: allowing your emotions to drive the car. It's your incapacity 200 00:12:17,200 --> 00:12:21,240 Speaker 1: to manage your anger and be successful at work. It's 201 00:12:21,280 --> 00:12:26,000 Speaker 1: your inability to manage your finances effectively. When we look 202 00:12:26,040 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: at it that way, it changes our mind about what 203 00:12:31,120 --> 00:12:34,800 Speaker 1: mental health really looks like, and then it expands the 204 00:12:34,880 --> 00:12:39,120 Speaker 1: need in our communities for help. Right, Well, you know 205 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: the thing about it is that you have an inner city, 206 00:12:42,720 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 1: then you have which is which which is totally a lockdown, 207 00:12:45,800 --> 00:12:48,160 Speaker 1: and well, you know, there's a lot of work has 208 00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: to be done. You're talking about the wealth gap, that's 209 00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:52,880 Speaker 1: a mental gap too. That's we're definitely in the mind 210 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:56,880 Speaker 1: of city. But it's all about embarrassing how people feel 211 00:12:57,160 --> 00:13:00,000 Speaker 1: the statue or the place they want to be recognized 212 00:13:00,040 --> 00:13:02,559 Speaker 1: us within the community. And it starts with your children. 213 00:13:02,960 --> 00:13:06,240 Speaker 1: And your children are your future. And so you know, 214 00:13:06,320 --> 00:13:10,880 Speaker 1: we bring these innocent taughts or innocent people into our lives. 215 00:13:10,920 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 1: And I always tell people to have a healthy child 216 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: and that maybe define what you might call healthy into 217 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,000 Speaker 1: a life is a miracle. And in the process of 218 00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 1: the adults, this is the whole thing. You have an adult, 219 00:13:23,080 --> 00:13:25,360 Speaker 1: you have the child, and then and the child may 220 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:28,920 Speaker 1: not be living up to the physical and mental expectations 221 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:32,400 Speaker 1: of their parents. How do you deal with that? So 222 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:37,679 Speaker 1: the love and the and the not lawering the standards, 223 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:42,120 Speaker 1: but raising the love and being able to push that 224 00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:45,480 Speaker 1: child at that level to their maximum efforts. How do 225 00:13:45,559 --> 00:13:48,199 Speaker 1: you balance that because you're dealing with all three. You're 226 00:13:48,280 --> 00:13:50,240 Speaker 1: dealing with the ad lessons, you're dealing with the children, 227 00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:55,040 Speaker 1: and you're dealing with their adults. So in parenting, when 228 00:13:55,080 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: we are providing parenting training, one of the things one 229 00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:02,960 Speaker 1: of the main lessons that we teach is that the 230 00:14:03,240 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: love and affection, celebration of life, those things should not 231 00:14:09,120 --> 00:14:14,679 Speaker 1: be contingent upon expectations or what we define as good behavior. 232 00:14:15,360 --> 00:14:20,440 Speaker 1: It should never right. And so sometimes I'll have parents say, 233 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,040 Speaker 1: or what, we canceled his birthday party because he was 234 00:14:23,280 --> 00:14:25,680 Speaker 1: blah blah blah blah right, he didn't listen, he got 235 00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,000 Speaker 1: in trouble. And so we have to help parents understand 236 00:14:29,480 --> 00:14:34,880 Speaker 1: what's healthy to have as contingencies because a lot of 237 00:14:35,040 --> 00:14:39,000 Speaker 1: parenting is very performance based. And then we grow up 238 00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:44,440 Speaker 1: as adults and we are over performers, we are perfectionists. 239 00:14:44,680 --> 00:14:47,760 Speaker 1: We're not living happy lives. And where does that come from? 240 00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:51,640 Speaker 1: That comes from performance based parenting? Where I love you 241 00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,800 Speaker 1: when I say when I believe you're doing good, when 242 00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,600 Speaker 1: the report cards all a's, when you got that trophy 243 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,520 Speaker 1: at school. It is at that point that I give 244 00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:01,920 Speaker 1: you love a affection, or when you are not meeting 245 00:15:01,960 --> 00:15:06,520 Speaker 1: my expectations, I withhold my love and affection. It causes 246 00:15:06,640 --> 00:15:12,480 Speaker 1: children to understand that love depends on fill in the blank, 247 00:15:12,920 --> 00:15:14,640 Speaker 1: and that's a that's a problem for a lot of 248 00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:17,680 Speaker 1: marriages too. I always say when you say I love you, 249 00:15:17,760 --> 00:15:22,320 Speaker 1: because everything after the word because becomes a condition. And 250 00:15:22,360 --> 00:15:27,440 Speaker 1: so we have to actually teach parents how to unconditionally 251 00:15:28,040 --> 00:15:31,200 Speaker 1: love and accept their children. And half the time parents 252 00:15:31,240 --> 00:15:35,000 Speaker 1: who parent that way is because they were parented that way. 253 00:15:35,240 --> 00:15:39,840 Speaker 1: And so it's about going back and breaking those generational understanding, 254 00:15:39,920 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: those generational choices, those generational curses, in order to set 255 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:47,800 Speaker 1: the children free. One of the things also in addition 256 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: to that teaching unconditional love in our parenting, we also 257 00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:54,920 Speaker 1: have to teach that there's no such thing as good 258 00:15:55,000 --> 00:15:59,920 Speaker 1: or bad parenting. It's either it's effective or ineffective. And 259 00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:03,320 Speaker 1: when we are not raising children that are emotionally intelligent 260 00:16:03,440 --> 00:16:07,960 Speaker 1: and mentally stable, there is some ineffectivity in the way 261 00:16:08,000 --> 00:16:10,320 Speaker 1: that a person parents. And then it gives us an 262 00:16:10,360 --> 00:16:14,680 Speaker 1: opportunity to teach parents new skills. New skills are really 263 00:16:14,720 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: to keep. It's when they seen them. With a series 264 00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:20,680 Speaker 1: of questions for me to include in my interview with you, 265 00:16:21,320 --> 00:16:25,080 Speaker 1: I'm speaking with Shelly fan Fan She's a licensed in 266 00:16:25,120 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: the state of Florida mental health counselor. She also has 267 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:32,720 Speaker 1: another organization called as Shelley Consultant, LLC, where she consults 268 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:38,160 Speaker 1: with individuals, businesses, ministries, and organization, the maxismized performance and productivity. 269 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,840 Speaker 1: That's how we talked about that productivity, especially coming out 270 00:16:40,840 --> 00:16:43,640 Speaker 1: of the COVID experience, but also came out of the 271 00:16:43,640 --> 00:16:46,600 Speaker 1: COVID experience was two words that I heard a lot, 272 00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: conflict resolution, and I heard it a lot in law enforcement. 273 00:16:51,920 --> 00:16:55,640 Speaker 1: Confluence of course, you know, I Conflquence happens and everything 274 00:16:55,720 --> 00:16:59,080 Speaker 1: happens in children, happens in relationships, happens in the two 275 00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:02,200 Speaker 1: adults trying to get into the same door going into 276 00:17:02,280 --> 00:17:07,080 Speaker 1: a seven eleven. So when you need to work conflict resolution, 277 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: I'm sure that's been a prominent part of your conversations. 278 00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:15,200 Speaker 1: How what exactly does that mean? Conflict resolution? Well, it 279 00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:19,400 Speaker 1: means that it's it's basically a process by which we 280 00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:23,440 Speaker 1: manage un met expectations. Because when you think about conflict, 281 00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,000 Speaker 1: conflict is a problem. It's a nice word for problems. 282 00:17:26,280 --> 00:17:29,920 Speaker 1: Problems are always rooted in an expectation that wasn't meant. 283 00:17:30,480 --> 00:17:32,720 Speaker 1: Think of a problem right now, Think of problems that 284 00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:36,680 Speaker 1: you dealt with. It always goes back to a an 285 00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:40,439 Speaker 1: expectation that you had of someone something, an outcome that 286 00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,800 Speaker 1: you were expecting, and the expectation wasn't met. And so 287 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:48,760 Speaker 1: conflict resolution teaches skill sets on how to manage that distress. 288 00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:53,480 Speaker 1: If that conflict is with another person, Conflict resolution teaches 289 00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:57,640 Speaker 1: how to have those courageous conversations and be solution focused 290 00:17:57,640 --> 00:18:01,040 Speaker 1: in it. How do you manage your emotion? Is that disappointment, 291 00:18:01,119 --> 00:18:04,399 Speaker 1: that anger, that frustration? How do you manage that in 292 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:06,879 Speaker 1: order to get to a resolution with someone that you 293 00:18:06,920 --> 00:18:11,080 Speaker 1: want to preserve a relationship with. Sometimes the resolution is deuces, 294 00:18:11,359 --> 00:18:14,560 Speaker 1: and that's okay too, But conflict resolution is about that. 295 00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,359 Speaker 1: And one of the things that I teach as a 296 00:18:16,400 --> 00:18:18,840 Speaker 1: corporate trainer is a lot of the time when we 297 00:18:18,880 --> 00:18:23,440 Speaker 1: say conflict resolution, what we're trying to say is conflict management. 298 00:18:23,840 --> 00:18:27,399 Speaker 1: Why because we may not always resolve our conflict the 299 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:31,800 Speaker 1: resolution maybe that we're just gonna agree to disagree. Is 300 00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:35,160 Speaker 1: that a resolve? Well maybe not, But it's a way 301 00:18:35,200 --> 00:18:38,760 Speaker 1: that we're managing conflict so that we can still be effective. 302 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: We can still be partners, we could still be married, 303 00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:43,479 Speaker 1: we could still be co parents, we could still you know, 304 00:18:43,560 --> 00:18:46,960 Speaker 1: be effective and work towards the go. Conflict management is 305 00:18:46,960 --> 00:18:49,359 Speaker 1: always the key. We'll be right back with more money 306 00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:55,840 Speaker 1: Making Conversations Masterclass with Rushan McDonald. Now let's return to 307 00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:02,080 Speaker 1: Money Making Conversations Masterclass with Rushan McDonald. Conflict management can 308 00:19:02,119 --> 00:19:04,399 Speaker 1: be sectioned off. You know, when you're when you're in 309 00:19:04,440 --> 00:19:08,720 Speaker 1: a police officer, that's a separate conflict management. When you 310 00:19:08,840 --> 00:19:13,440 Speaker 1: go in for mediation with parenting, that's a separate conflict management, 311 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,440 Speaker 1: real solution discussion. And well as in a girlfriend or 312 00:19:18,480 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 1: a partner relationship or husband and wife relationship, because there's 313 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:25,280 Speaker 1: certain contractual agreements that you have when you get married. 314 00:19:25,320 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: A lot of people don't realize you've signed a contract, 315 00:19:27,520 --> 00:19:30,320 Speaker 1: you know, where when you're just a partner, a girlfriend, boyfriend, 316 00:19:30,320 --> 00:19:33,239 Speaker 1: you can go do somehout, you know, depending on if 317 00:19:33,280 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: you've moved in with that person, then that's a different duce. 318 00:19:37,080 --> 00:19:39,680 Speaker 1: There's a certain mediation that's the conflict can get kind 319 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:42,639 Speaker 1: of kind of dicey. But and and and talking to 320 00:19:42,720 --> 00:19:45,520 Speaker 1: you in mental health and and you know, it all 321 00:19:45,560 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 1: goes back to stress. It always goes back to am 322 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,359 Speaker 1: I living up to my personal standards? Then then if 323 00:19:52,400 --> 00:19:54,640 Speaker 1: you're not living up your personal standards, are you're living 324 00:19:54,720 --> 00:19:56,679 Speaker 1: up to your kids? That are you living up to 325 00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: your job standards? So you can just put all this 326 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,119 Speaker 1: way on your back and like the little image of 327 00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:05,159 Speaker 1: that guy holding up the world Atlas holding you can 328 00:20:05,200 --> 00:20:08,560 Speaker 1: feel like that person and guess what, it may never 329 00:20:08,680 --> 00:20:12,480 Speaker 1: come off of you unless you learn how to handle stress. Now, 330 00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:15,600 Speaker 1: I've always felt that, you know, stressed. For me, I 331 00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,800 Speaker 1: handled a lot of different ways. Uh, even when I 332 00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: when I bought a house in Atlanta, I made sure 333 00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:23,359 Speaker 1: I had water near me. So I go near water. 334 00:20:23,480 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: I just watched that calmness of the water, and it's 335 00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,720 Speaker 1: just just seeing it. It just really brings me down. 336 00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:32,440 Speaker 1: And so because I'm not a cigar cigar smoker, I 337 00:20:32,480 --> 00:20:36,720 Speaker 1: don't drink wine, so everything's always one on me. And 338 00:20:36,760 --> 00:20:39,080 Speaker 1: so how I deal with that. I love to bake. 339 00:20:39,400 --> 00:20:42,240 Speaker 1: I love to cook, you know, because it's a short 340 00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:45,560 Speaker 1: term window and I can see success. Sometimes stress is 341 00:20:45,560 --> 00:20:49,960 Speaker 1: tied to goals. So and then in my office, I 342 00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,880 Speaker 1: have a garden, and so I have this forty five 343 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:56,720 Speaker 1: day window where I can see tomatoes, I can see okraw, 344 00:20:56,800 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: I can see colar greens. And so that's how ideal 345 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,719 Speaker 1: was stress. And as I'm just giving those examples of 346 00:21:02,760 --> 00:21:04,879 Speaker 1: because there's so many different ways, but I tid I 347 00:21:04,960 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: tend to tie short time, which short term windows too 348 00:21:10,320 --> 00:21:12,440 Speaker 1: to be able, especially if you're goal order in person 349 00:21:12,520 --> 00:21:15,680 Speaker 1: like me, and you have these long committed plans where 350 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:18,560 Speaker 1: you are it's a month of whale, is a year way, 351 00:21:18,640 --> 00:21:21,000 Speaker 1: or you're not even reaching your goals. Well, I can 352 00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,320 Speaker 1: go out to my guard and I can put me 353 00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:25,680 Speaker 1: some chairry tomatoes and I'm happy. So when you say 354 00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 1: stress management, am I in the right direction, Shelley? You 355 00:21:30,400 --> 00:21:33,520 Speaker 1: are absolutely you hit the veil on the head. Stress 356 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:39,879 Speaker 1: management is about under first and foremost understanding the importance 357 00:21:40,119 --> 00:21:46,080 Speaker 1: of having practical wellness tools. Okay, what you just talked 358 00:21:46,080 --> 00:21:49,879 Speaker 1: about our wellness tools. I garden. I make sure that 359 00:21:50,040 --> 00:21:53,159 Speaker 1: I am living by the water, and you know I 360 00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:57,119 Speaker 1: have these. I give myself an opportunity to achieve success. 361 00:21:57,160 --> 00:21:58,760 Speaker 1: That's what that is like. I want to be able 362 00:21:58,760 --> 00:22:02,680 Speaker 1: to see the tomatoes grow that success. These are wellness tools, 363 00:22:02,920 --> 00:22:06,119 Speaker 1: and unfortunately many people don't have many. They may have 364 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,639 Speaker 1: one or two tools that they use. So if my 365 00:22:08,760 --> 00:22:11,320 Speaker 1: tool is a glass of wine and sleep, that I'm 366 00:22:11,359 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: not dealing with my stress because the tools that I'm 367 00:22:13,720 --> 00:22:17,480 Speaker 1: using are very avoidant. And so we teach how to 368 00:22:18,320 --> 00:22:23,760 Speaker 1: classify your stressors into two main categories. What stressors are 369 00:22:23,960 --> 00:22:29,439 Speaker 1: avoidable and what stressors are unavoidable? Because the ones that 370 00:22:29,480 --> 00:22:32,720 Speaker 1: are avoidable that we need to be strategic about avoiding 371 00:22:32,720 --> 00:22:36,680 Speaker 1: them in a healthy way, because escape avoidance sometimes becomes 372 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,840 Speaker 1: very unhealthy. You're not really living life because you're just 373 00:22:38,880 --> 00:22:41,840 Speaker 1: living in escape avoidance, just running from those stressors. So 374 00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:46,199 Speaker 1: in a healthy way, how do we avoid those avoidable stressors? 375 00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:50,520 Speaker 1: And how do we manage our stress in those unavoidable stressors? 376 00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:54,840 Speaker 1: And I am telling you in the twenty four years 377 00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:58,439 Speaker 1: that I have been in practice, there are so many 378 00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,600 Speaker 1: people out there that do not know how to Here's 379 00:23:01,600 --> 00:23:09,560 Speaker 1: a word. Here's a word, and that is decompressed. Like decompressed. 380 00:23:09,640 --> 00:23:13,960 Speaker 1: What do you do to decompress? Because if you're trying 381 00:23:13,960 --> 00:23:16,520 Speaker 1: to manage your stress, but you don't have the capacity 382 00:23:16,560 --> 00:23:20,200 Speaker 1: to decompress, it's gonna be very difficult to manage the stress. 383 00:23:20,400 --> 00:23:23,200 Speaker 1: So of course we teach, you know, a good planning, 384 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:27,000 Speaker 1: making sure that we teach harmony versus balance, teach make 385 00:23:27,080 --> 00:23:29,119 Speaker 1: sure that you are around people that are going to 386 00:23:29,200 --> 00:23:33,719 Speaker 1: pour life into your accountability partnership, set realistic goals. But 387 00:23:33,720 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: but deeper than that has to be the capacity to decompress. 388 00:23:38,160 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: That's your ability to take your anger from a ten 389 00:23:42,720 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: to a six, your anxiety from a seven two a three, 390 00:23:50,320 --> 00:23:55,080 Speaker 1: leaving your office and going at home and understanding you 391 00:23:55,119 --> 00:24:00,000 Speaker 1: have to change roles. Now your hats have to change. 392 00:24:00,440 --> 00:24:03,200 Speaker 1: There has to be an exchange made either at your 393 00:24:03,240 --> 00:24:06,040 Speaker 1: front door or on your way home so that you're 394 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:11,080 Speaker 1: not bringing that energy into your sanctuary. Decompression is key, 395 00:24:11,160 --> 00:24:13,800 Speaker 1: and there are people that don't know this. They have 396 00:24:14,040 --> 00:24:18,679 Speaker 1: to learn how, and that's why therapy is so effective. Again, 397 00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,760 Speaker 1: I'm speaking to Shelley fan Fan. I'm a fan of 398 00:24:20,840 --> 00:24:26,240 Speaker 1: fan Fan, Okay, and then she's State of Florida Mental 399 00:24:26,280 --> 00:24:29,760 Speaker 1: Health counselor and also she deals with what I'd like 400 00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,119 Speaker 1: to talk about the conversation. We don't have children have 401 00:24:33,200 --> 00:24:35,439 Speaker 1: mental health. They are not tied to the words that 402 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:38,760 Speaker 1: we use because there's so many stress levels the kids 403 00:24:39,080 --> 00:24:41,960 Speaker 1: have to do. Because we have technology. You know, video 404 00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:45,719 Speaker 1: games create stress. Just what being able to have apps 405 00:24:45,840 --> 00:24:49,760 Speaker 1: create stress. The fact that your child and yourself are 406 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:53,720 Speaker 1: tied to a phone, so they're they're prevoud conversations while 407 00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,400 Speaker 1: you're driving in a car. That was not privy when 408 00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,560 Speaker 1: I was growing up and we drove, we drove, we 409 00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:01,480 Speaker 1: got the car. Now you're in a phone. That child 410 00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:03,240 Speaker 1: may want that a kitchen, but you're given all that 411 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:06,280 Speaker 1: attention to the person you're dealing on the phone. They 412 00:25:06,320 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: may hear your stress levels and they pick that up. 413 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:13,159 Speaker 1: So I know that your world. Sometimes you're invite their 414 00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:17,399 Speaker 1: stress into your child's life because of technology. So I 415 00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:19,480 Speaker 1: want to close what you give me us. Some porters 416 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: own overcoming life obstacles. Absolutely, And are you talking about 417 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,520 Speaker 1: in terms of children? Because you hit something, you hit, 418 00:25:28,640 --> 00:25:30,600 Speaker 1: you hit the nail on the head. When you talked 419 00:25:30,600 --> 00:25:36,800 Speaker 1: about children watching how their parents handle stress, how children 420 00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:41,880 Speaker 1: learn by watching their parents managing their stress, managing conflict 421 00:25:41,920 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: and things of that nature. And so a lot of 422 00:25:44,040 --> 00:25:46,359 Speaker 1: times when parents come in and they sign up for 423 00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:48,840 Speaker 1: therapy for their kids, do you know what we do? 424 00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:54,880 Speaker 1: We asked them to sign up themselves first, because our 425 00:25:54,960 --> 00:25:59,200 Speaker 1: children are sponges and it's very important that caregivers are 426 00:25:59,280 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: tapping into their own mental health so that they can 427 00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:06,639 Speaker 1: be better examples for their children. And that stress in childhood. 428 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:10,800 Speaker 1: I'm so happy that you mentioned that because it's key 429 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:15,320 Speaker 1: and all of this emphasis on gaming and winning and 430 00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:19,560 Speaker 1: likes and shares and all of that. One thing that 431 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,800 Speaker 1: I want to say here and I could go on 432 00:26:21,880 --> 00:26:23,520 Speaker 1: and on about this, but I'm gonna keep it brief. 433 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:29,040 Speaker 1: Parents have to encourage peer interactions. You can negotiate with 434 00:26:29,080 --> 00:26:32,640 Speaker 1: your kids. Four hours of peer interaction gets you one 435 00:26:32,680 --> 00:26:35,159 Speaker 1: hour of gaming. Like, we have to make sure that 436 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:39,439 Speaker 1: our children are still connecting with their peers. That's so important. 437 00:26:39,480 --> 00:26:43,440 Speaker 1: That peer interaction is so important and alleviates a lot 438 00:26:43,480 --> 00:26:46,320 Speaker 1: of the internal distress that children deal with on a 439 00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:48,280 Speaker 1: day to day basis. And we have to make sure 440 00:26:48,520 --> 00:26:52,359 Speaker 1: that children have the opportunity to express themselves. This idea 441 00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: that children should be seen and not heard, that's like 442 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:59,240 Speaker 1: a thing of the past that is unhealthy. It causes 443 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:02,560 Speaker 1: mental ill on this we have kids that are cutting themselves, 444 00:27:02,800 --> 00:27:06,520 Speaker 1: they are self mutilating. We have to allow children to 445 00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:08,679 Speaker 1: speak their minds and parents have to give them the 446 00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:11,639 Speaker 1: space to do that. Well. I want to thank you Chilling. 447 00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:14,640 Speaker 1: And like I said, I am based in Atlanta, Georgia. 448 00:27:15,040 --> 00:27:18,359 Speaker 1: I know you're licensed in Florida.
