Speaker 1: One on one point three Katie w B where Fallon
Speaker 1: and Colt. You know, our show is going to be

Speaker 1: you know, we've done morning show live broadcasts for Children's.
Speaker 1: We've talked about the amazing work they do with families
Speaker 1: and with children with cancer, but I was unaware of
Speaker 1: the mental health program they offer children's and so this
Speaker 1: has been educational for me and I'm sure I'm gonna
Speaker 1: learn even more throughout the days. We have experts, doctors
Speaker 1: and various people join us on the show.
Speaker 2: And I have two little kiddo's and it's it's going
Speaker 2: to know that there is there's resources out there in

Speaker 1: each child's unique needs and concerns. So they just really
Speaker 1: do have the full range of mental health care for
Speaker 1: kids and teens, which we'll be diving into more throughout
Speaker 1: the show. But like I said, we also will be
Speaker 1: mixing in some of the unhinged things that we do,
Speaker 1: and so that's gonna happen when we come back. I

Speaker 1: I mean we we really want to raise a ton
Speaker 1: of money. So if you get a chance, maybe you're
Speaker 1: on your phone right now, you're on a work computer,
Speaker 1: you can go to Children's MN dot org slash give now.
Speaker 1: Transitioning from that into this, I literally send the gold.
Speaker 1: I go maybe should we even do this story?
Speaker 3: I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2: I think it's too good to pass up.
Speaker 1: Really an unbelievable story of the day. And I was
Speaker 1: hot in my tracks when I read the headline of
Speaker 1: this one. So we've all been a part of like
Speaker 1: a road rage situation, right.
Speaker 2: Yeah, put you more than others. We know that.
Speaker 4: I mean, you're gonna come for me on that.
Speaker 3: I just I would say I'm an aggressive driver, and
Speaker 3: that's fine. That's fine.
Speaker 1: So I don't even know exactly what happened in this situation,
Speaker 1: just the fact that there was road rage happening and
Speaker 1: a woman. There's a clip of this on TMC if
Speaker 1: you like really need to see it, let me tell
Speaker 1: you what I did not. I did not watch the video.
Speaker 1: I'm sure Colts is quickly fizzling right now.
Speaker 5: Though.
Speaker 3: It was like she she gets out of her car,
Speaker 3: she runs around with the other car.
Speaker 1: She gets, she gets by the hood, she drives her pants,
Speaker 1: and she goes to the bathroom the car.
Speaker 3: Like that's not it. That's not a quick process.
Speaker 1: That's usually I mean, is the person just sitting there
Speaker 1: and watching this whole like they're probably in disputs, like
Speaker 1: I can't believe this is happening in my car right now?
Speaker 2: You can make it happen in a pinch, like if
Speaker 2: you had to, if you ran out the word usage. Okay,
Speaker 2: now here's the thing. What was it like?
Speaker 6: Like?
Speaker 2: So she runs out, she gets on and then like
Speaker 2: a right, yeah, that's solid. She had a locked and load.
Speaker 1: That's oh they're now they've dubbed this woman. I guess
Speaker 1: this must be the location Delco. They've dubbed her on
Speaker 1: social media the Delco pooper.
Speaker 2: She should have went with Delco downpur But it's good,
Speaker 2: it's all right.
Speaker 3: You really should be hired.
Speaker 2: Did she's just running around? Do you get arrested for that?
Speaker 2: Or do you get you get a pass because it's awesome,
Speaker 2: or like, well.
Speaker 3: I can tell you this.
Speaker 1: She seemed giddy as she walked away, and the victim
Speaker 1: just like honks at her while she's doing it. She's like,
Speaker 1: oh my god, what's happening. Oh my gosh, she's really happening.
Speaker 1: So she starts honking like to try to make her stop,
Speaker 1: and she.
Speaker 3: Doesn't at all.
Speaker 2: So now you're in the other car, right, yeah, wild
Speaker 2: if you have a dash can that's.
Speaker 3: Crazy, that is I don't want Do you.
Speaker 2: Go right to the car wash or do you just
Speaker 2: go home?
Speaker 1: No, you call the police, you take photos, you sit
Speaker 1: in disbelief, you call friends you FaceTime and you're like, well,
Speaker 1: I don't is this really what happens?
Speaker 2: I'm going to a car wash. If I can't find one,
Speaker 2: I'm driving to the nearest rain storm. I don't even care.
Speaker 3: Okay, we're driving there immediately.
Speaker 1: Yeah.
Speaker 3: That's what we call the Unbelievable Story of the day.
Speaker 1: Cult and why I also questioned, is this the day
Speaker 1: to do this story? Well?
Speaker 2: Why would we not do this story? Can you fill
Speaker 2: me in again? What'll we what's that? What's going on?
Speaker 2: We're we're doing it live from Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1: Okay, we are, and we are raising money. We're going
Speaker 1: to talk about that a little bit more. We're actually
Speaker 1: gonna have one of the doctors join us to talk
Speaker 1: about the mental health program here at Children's or Give
Speaker 1: to Kids Day. We're going to come back, though, we
Speaker 1: have the pop Culture Minute coming up. So much is
Speaker 1: going around with this Bill bel Check interview that it's
Speaker 1: the pop.
Speaker 7: Culture Minute with Fellon and Cult on one on one
Speaker 7: point three.
Speaker 1: K d w B, brought to you by Ova, Lacy
Speaker 1: and Lenz. Today we're doing the pop Culture Minute. We're
Speaker 1: live from Children's Minnesota and Saint Paul and it's because
Speaker 1: May kicks off Mental Health Awareness Month, and uh, you
Speaker 1: know they were like, hey, you know, we have this
Speaker 1: amazing mental health program here. We love support and it
Speaker 1: is Give to Kids Day, so we're raising money to
Speaker 1: help them. So if you are thinking about kind of
Speaker 1: the things that I think we think about daily, Colt
Speaker 1: I both have kids. This program starts for children age
Speaker 1: of six. My daughter is going to be six in September.
Speaker 1: And you know that's wild to me.
Speaker 2: When I was growing up, like I don't you don't
Speaker 2: really talk about emotions too much. So now it is crazy,
Speaker 2: like she's starting school and there's even like little things
Speaker 2: where the other day she ran up so many of
Speaker 2: the parts. She's like, Hi, I'm Rammy, and the kid
Speaker 2: was like, good for you, and then ran away. I'm like, ah, dude,
Speaker 2: that cuts. And then she's like, why doesn't he like me?
Speaker 2: So there's like these little things you're trying to figure
Speaker 2: out and you're.
Speaker 1: In and you maybe you look, we're only equipped so
Speaker 1: much as parents, right, and that's our professionals come in
Speaker 1: to help out.
Speaker 3: We're actually going to talk to a doctor.
Speaker 1: She's the doctor of Believe of the outpatient program.
Speaker 3: You're at Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1: So I'm looking forward to talking to her and just
Speaker 1: I'm honestly asking me a ton of questions and maybe
Speaker 1: don't even feel personal, like I'm asking to prepare for
Speaker 1: my life. But I think that hopefully it'll be something
Speaker 1: that helps you. And when you're thinking about donating today,
Speaker 1: because this is such a great cause, just know that
Speaker 1: when you do, you're providing a full range of mental
Speaker 1: health services to children and to teens.
Speaker 3: And we have links up.
Speaker 1: You can go to our Instagram pages Ballin and cult
Speaker 1: if that makes it easier, but it is Children's mn
Speaker 1: dot org slash and give to make things a little
Speaker 1: easier for you to help out today. Everyone's been talking
Speaker 1: about this interview. Did you see the interview with Bill
Speaker 1: Belcheck and his girlfriend.
Speaker 2: I've seen a little bit about it, but now.
Speaker 1: Okay, So he's basically in his seventies, she's like twenty four.
Speaker 1: So that's the biggest issue. People think the age gap
Speaker 1: is insane. So he's doing an interview and one thing
Speaker 1: they will never talk about is how they met. So people,
Speaker 1: of course assume they met while he was married. So
Speaker 1: the interviewer asks, how did you guys meet? And she
Speaker 1: pops up from behind a table and she's like, we're
Speaker 1: not talking about that, and so everyone's like going in,
Speaker 1: what is she doing?
Speaker 3: Why she had Bill? Are you okay? Blake?
Speaker 8: Twice?
Speaker 1: They're doing that situation well his former players.
Speaker 3: I guess they have a podcast. Fun fact, don't listen.
Speaker 2: I've seen this before, Edelman, what did you say?
Speaker 3: They said?
Speaker 8: This?
Speaker 3: Isn't that weird?
Speaker 1: It's being blown out of her poor Usually she's kind
Speaker 1: of acting as the PR person. The PR person is
Speaker 1: typically like a publicist is going to be there and
Speaker 1: they will interfere with a line of questions.
Speaker 2: Shouldn't it be like it is weird that you can't
Speaker 2: even say where you met though? Right right?
Speaker 1: But Nicki Glazer comments on that post and she goes
Speaker 1: one hundred percent this she's acting as this publicist. Publicists
Speaker 1: do this during interviews. People are out for blood. But
Speaker 1: Bill's daughter in law respond to Nicky and says, publicists
Speaker 1: act in a professional manner and don't quote unquote storm
Speaker 1: Offset delaying an interview.
Speaker 3: Seems like the family not a big fan of hers either.
Speaker 2: I mean, how could you? But you know clearly what
Speaker 2: her prerogative is. I mean, it's like.
Speaker 3: It's a pretty obvious.
Speaker 1: One of those things that I used to like care
Speaker 1: about a little bit was the met Gala, And isn't
Speaker 1: it interesting? I feel like in the world today, I
Speaker 1: do not care about what celebrities that are rich are
Speaker 1: wearing to an event that I don't really completely understand
Speaker 1: what the event is, to be fair, And they're saying Rihanna,
Speaker 1: you know, she's always one of the queens of the
Speaker 1: Red carpet. They're saying she's going to premiere a baby
Speaker 1: bump for a third baby, which is a wild name
Speaker 1: to just say about a woman this day and age, Like,
Speaker 1: why are we still doing that?
Speaker 2: But maybe she did that the halftime show too, remember that,
Speaker 2: that's why she displayed it.
Speaker 3: She did, she did. I saw this yesterday.
Speaker 1: I followed him Kardashian on Instagram and I saw it
Speaker 1: was just a post her son of his.
Speaker 3: It was up his YouTube channel and.
Speaker 1: It had just his name and and everyone. It was
Speaker 1: so funny because you could tell it was something she
Speaker 1: would never post. It would not fit. Like he got
Speaker 1: a hold of her phone and people were in the
Speaker 1: comments going, hey, Saint honey, can you grab mommy's credit card?
Speaker 1: And posted next and stuff. So it was confirmed that
Speaker 1: he posted this. He's nine years old. He hijacked her
Speaker 1: Instagram to promote his new YouTube channel to three hundred
Speaker 1: and fifty seven million followers.
Speaker 2: Do the Kardashian kids are always doing that stuff? Who's
Speaker 2: the one that always goes on Instagram live and outs
Speaker 2: all their information?
Speaker 3: Used to be Courtney's son? Oh yeah, yeah, maybe he
Speaker 3: took a step.
Speaker 8: Back from social media.
Speaker 1: I didn't like it anymore, but yeah, pretty funny this one.
Speaker 1: I'm looking forward to the four season feel good, be
Speaker 1: good there. Yeah, the four seasons is now streaming on Netflix.
Speaker 1: Tina fey Rotten stars and this says Steve Grell, Will Fortake,
Speaker 1: and you might be thinking, oh, the looks. She said,
Speaker 1: it's not going to be like their normal wacky, funny
Speaker 1: kind of comedy.
Speaker 2: No, but it looks awesome.
Speaker 3: But there will be funny moments and it looks good.
Speaker 3: And it's based on an older movie.
Speaker 1: It's like this friend group gets together once every season
Speaker 1: for a vacation.
Speaker 2: And now the premise and now they're like in their
Speaker 2: forties and fifties, right, and it's like they're like, are
Speaker 2: we even friends anymore? We don't even do anything.
Speaker 1: We hang out, which is truly the question you have
Speaker 1: because they're I mean, people do coming in out of
Speaker 1: your life, but having you, like you graduated high school
Speaker 1: after a few years, you're like, am I still friends
Speaker 1: on my high school?
Speaker 3: I don't know? Do you have anything in common anymore?
Speaker 1: That is your pop culture minute on Katie.
Speaker 3: It's one on one point three katiewb. We are Fallent
Speaker 3: and Cult.
Speaker 1: We're broadcasting live today from Children's Minnesota and a lot
Speaker 1: going on here, but the main thing is we are
Speaker 1: trying to do a few things. We're trying to build
Speaker 1: awareness about the mental health program they offer here. We're
Speaker 1: trying to raise money for that, and I think there
Speaker 1: isn't a single person who doesn't. Isn't surrounded by people
Speaker 1: who I feel like are becoming more and more comfortable
Speaker 1: talking about their mental health, acknowledging they may need to
Speaker 1: find resources for their own mental health. I mean, cult,
Speaker 1: my both we have gone to therapy over this, and
Speaker 1: the program here benefits children. I mean, I was so
Speaker 1: surprised when I found out this program can start at
Speaker 1: six years old. As a mom who has a daughter
Speaker 1: who's about to turn six in September, and we have
Speaker 1: doctor Striker joining us today. She is the medical director
Speaker 1: of inpatient Psychiatry.
Speaker 3: Welcome to our show. Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 9: I have to say this is a highlight I've listened
Speaker 9: to Katie's my whole life.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Oh, I'm really excited to be here.
Speaker 1: Okay, perfect, Well, we're excited to have you and hear
Speaker 1: about all the amazing things that you guys offer here.
Speaker 1: So first of all, I mean, can you tell us
Speaker 1: a little bit about yourself and about the impatient mental
Speaker 1: health program here, because I think you know, when we
Speaker 1: think of Children's, we all know of the amazing work
Speaker 1: that they do for children and their families and when
Speaker 1: it comes to cancer, but I was unaware even myself
Speaker 1: of the mental health program that they offer.
Speaker 9: Absolutely, I'm a Minnesotan. I trained in other places, but
Speaker 9: was so excited to come back. And when Children's decided
Speaker 9: they were going to open an inpatient mental health unit,
Speaker 9: I was the first one in line to be here.
Speaker 9: I'm really proud of this unit and just to kind
Speaker 9: of give people a taste of what inpatient mental health is.
Speaker 9: People are staying here, so people go to programming during
Speaker 9: the day, they sleep in the beds overnight. Most kids
Speaker 9: are here about three to seven days. And really our
Speaker 9: goal is to get people better enough that they can
Speaker 9: go back to regular life and with all the supports
Speaker 9: around them.
Speaker 1: We were talking about this earlier and this is and
Speaker 1: this is the you allow six year olds and which
Speaker 1: is the youngest anywhere, so parents don't have to travel
Speaker 1: to other states or far away cities. They can be
Speaker 1: right here in the Twin Cities, close to home. But
Speaker 1: that really struck a chord that you have patients in
Speaker 1: here as young as six years old.
Speaker 9: It's not very frequent, but yes, every once in a
Speaker 9: while we do get a six, seven, eight year old.
Speaker 9: And one of the really great things about our program
Speaker 9: is that all patients have a private room and there's
Speaker 9: another bed in there for parents to.
Speaker 4: Fuel to spend the night.
Speaker 9: Okay, so given that we are pediatric hospital, it's kids
Speaker 9: and families first, and that's like from the minute they
Speaker 9: step in the door.
Speaker 4: We love having parents stay over.
Speaker 9: We get to interact with them more, We get to
Speaker 9: really get a sense of how things are going between
Speaker 9: the parent and child and do coaching and just help
Speaker 9: everybody kind of manage everything better.
Speaker 2: And if you do go to Children's mn dot org
Speaker 2: slash gift today and you do donate, How are the
Speaker 2: funds Race today helping Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 4: Well, I have to say we love our donors.
Speaker 9: We really try to think about you know, insurance and
Speaker 9: reimbursement rates just are going down and down, and that
Speaker 9: pays for the basics, right, It pays for the hospital,
Speaker 9: stay in the hospital room, the food, seeing the doctor.
Speaker 9: But so much of our program is not about that.
Speaker 9: It's about how do we help kids become resilient and
Speaker 9: functional and so things that donor money has gone to
Speaker 9: is an outdoor space for kids to get fresh air
Speaker 9: and plan outside. It's gone to yoga and move mindfully programs.
Speaker 9: It goes to things like you know, therapy pets and
Speaker 9: plant therapy and all of those extras that kids can
Speaker 9: take outside of here as well.
Speaker 1: Yeah, if you're just turning on your radio, we're talking
Speaker 1: talking to doctor Striker. She is the medical director of
Speaker 1: in patient psychiatry here at Children's Minnesota. And we're gonna
Speaker 1: take a little quick quick break and we're gonna come
Speaker 1: back and talk more to her and learn a little
Speaker 1: bit more about the inpatient the services they offer here
Speaker 1: at Children's and also hopefully inspire you to donate some
Speaker 1: of your money to help out this amazing one. On
Speaker 1: one point three, Katie W b with Fallon and Cult.
Speaker 1: We're live from Children's Minnesota today. We're in Saint Paul
Speaker 1: and we're lucky enough to doctor Striker joining us. She's
Speaker 1: the medical director of impatient Psychiatry. So we were just
Speaker 1: talking about some of the services you offer and what
Speaker 1: some of the funds we're raising.
Speaker 3: Today will go help.
Speaker 1: Just at a deeper level as a parent, maybe someone's
Speaker 1: listening right now, or maybe a grandma as they want
Speaker 1: to pass us along, or however that may be.
Speaker 3: How can kids and families take care of their mental health?
Speaker 1: I feel like we a lot of us, we look
Speaker 1: at the different things in life, right, I think the
Speaker 1: top thing we look at we look at social media
Speaker 1: and how that is affecting our lives.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I look at that.
Speaker 1: I'm like, I'm addicted to my phone, and my husband
Speaker 1: and I go back and forth like we're not letting
Speaker 1: our daughter get a phone until she's fifteen or sixteen,
Speaker 1: and I really hope we stick to that, right, But
Speaker 1: there's some direct correlation there. So what can kids and
Speaker 1: families do to take care of their mental health? I
Speaker 1: love that question.
Speaker 9: We talk so much about medication and therapy are a
Speaker 9: very small part of taking care of your mental health.
Speaker 9: The number one thing I believe in a structure and routine.
Speaker 9: We've all been on those beach vacations where after four
Speaker 9: days you start getting antsy. Yes, and it's because we
Speaker 9: haven't like set a routine for ourselves. So like kind
Speaker 9: of a standard wake up time, a standard bedtime, getting
Speaker 9: out and doing something, getting fresh air, vitamin D, all
Speaker 9: of those good things for my own kids. I also
Speaker 9: have a six year old, and I have some step
Speaker 9: kids that are older. Their phones are out of their
Speaker 9: room at nine point thirty. I really believe in limited
Speaker 9: screen time and sleep is the most important thing. So
Speaker 9: we do not have phones, tablets, computers, any TVs in
Speaker 9: kids rooms because they have to sleep at night.
Speaker 1: My step son, he's seventeen, he just got I can't
Speaker 1: remember what it's called, but it's he ordered the mail
Speaker 1: for himself where it limits how long you can be
Speaker 1: on your phone.
Speaker 3: I love that.
Speaker 1: And because he even acknowledged, he's like, he'll come upstairs.
Speaker 1: He's like, I just scrolled on TikTok for ninety straight minutes.
Speaker 1: I don't know where the time, Like Dylan, I've done
Speaker 1: that too, but he was like, you know, he was
Speaker 1: able to look at that and say this is I'm
Speaker 1: not being productive, this isn't good for me, absolutely, and
Speaker 1: put a.
Speaker 4: Block on that.
Speaker 3: But not everyone has that.
Speaker 1: So that's where I love that role of Like phones
Speaker 1: are out of the room in the evening.
Speaker 9: And there's so many parents on the unit where it's
Speaker 9: like when we say that, it's such a surprise, like
Speaker 9: it's never occurred to them that they have the ability
Speaker 9: as the parent to say that to their child.
Speaker 4: And I'm like, I do this with my kids.
Speaker 9: I highly encourage people to take charge like they are
Speaker 9: the adult and they need to make sure their kids'
Speaker 9: mental health is good.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 1: You know, we're talking about the impatient program here at Children's.
Speaker 1: What do you think it is that really differentiates you
Speaker 1: from others your program here?
Speaker 9: So we are the only in patient mental health unit
Speaker 9: here that is within a pediatric hospital and that doesn't
Speaker 9: have adult services, and that really allows us to focus
Speaker 9: on kids and kids first and families first. So that's
Speaker 9: where we have those private rooms and parents can stay over.
Speaker 9: I don't really know if any other places in the
Speaker 9: Minnesota for sure. There's very few in the country that
Speaker 9: allow parents to spend the night, and I think it's
Speaker 9: really important kids don't feel abandoned by their parents.
Speaker 4: Parents are part of the treatment.
Speaker 2: Yeah, it can be scary and it's like going through
Speaker 2: that step in that process and you're like I don't
Speaker 2: want to do it alone, or like, oh, you know,
Speaker 2: so it's great that you have that option.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, and as a parent too, I'm like, I
Speaker 1: would be stressed out the whole time. I want to
Speaker 1: be with my daughter and see what's going on and
Speaker 1: be there for her to support.
Speaker 9: And parents can see our faces, right, they can meet
Speaker 9: us and then feel more trusting about what's.
Speaker 4: Happening on the unit.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, well, this this program is so important and obviously
Speaker 1: we are here talking about it because we also want
Speaker 1: to raise a little bit of money. It is Kid's
Speaker 1: Day where we're broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota, and your
Speaker 1: donations make a huge difference. We talked about that a
Speaker 1: little while ago, but you can donate right now. We
Speaker 1: have links posted on our socials Balon and cult or KATIEWB,
Speaker 1: but also it is Children's m n dot org slash
Speaker 1: give today. Thank you so much, Thank you so much
Speaker 1: forcing me for all. One oh one point three KATIEWB
Speaker 1: with Fallon and Cold. We're broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1: It's Give to Kids Day. We're supporting the mental health
Speaker 1: program here and just a heads up, all donations made today,
Speaker 1: they're gonna be matched, so you know you're doubling the
Speaker 1: impact when you support. I just dropped on. I made
Speaker 1: my donation at Children's m n dot org. We're gonna
Speaker 1: come back. Cold, of course, has chaos going on in
Speaker 1: his neighborhood. Ten out of ten assume that he is
Speaker 1: the root cause of that.
Speaker 2: I don't know. This is like on the news. This
Speaker 2: is like I saw it on TikTok. This is all
Speaker 2: over the place. Dude, something is going down.
Speaker 3: And I'm like, if it's an Land on an e bike,
Speaker 3: it's you.
Speaker 2: I feel like it's a little dramatic. Okay, it's a homeowner,
Speaker 2: you think, Okay.
Speaker 1: One oh one point three KATIEWB with Fallon and Cold,
Speaker 1: broadcasting live from Children's of Minnesota.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and we're really hoping you can raise money.
Speaker 1: We're gonna get an update here soon and uh hopefully
Speaker 1: we raised a little money. They are matching donations today,
Speaker 1: So when you make a donation, even if it's like
Speaker 1: five dollars.
Speaker 3: Boom, already ten dollars.
Speaker 1: So we would really really love if you go to
Speaker 1: Children's mn dot org slash GiB. We're gonna be talking
Speaker 1: to professionals and doctors all throughout the show this afternoon.
Speaker 1: It's a little bit different of a show to just
Speaker 1: get you some information because that is so important when we're.
Speaker 3: Dealing with mental health.
Speaker 1: But a totally different topic right now, Cold is claiming
Speaker 1: his neighborhood's being dramatic.
Speaker 2: Okay, I saw a TikTok video come up and I
Speaker 2: was like, wait a minute, that looks like my alleyway.
Speaker 3: What's happening tiktoko and viral from your alleyway?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I was like, wait a minute, hold on, so
Speaker 2: that I look, here's the situation. And as as a homeowner,
Speaker 2: I'm a renter, so I'm not trapped in with my neighbors.
Speaker 2: Like there's a way out, right, there's.
Speaker 3: A way out if you own a home. By the way,
Speaker 3: you can sell your house and move.
Speaker 2: But yes, go on a little easier though. Okay, here's
Speaker 2: a situation. There's a neighbor and their kids played basketball.
Speaker 2: This basketball who they playing the driveway. I saw it,
Speaker 2: saw their direct neighbor is like, hey, I don't want
Speaker 2: to look out my window and see your kids playing basketball.
Speaker 2: She tried to get a restraining order on the kids
Speaker 2: and the family to keep them away from her window.
Speaker 2: But you gotta remember, in Saint Louis Park, you're basically
Speaker 2: you reach your hand out, you're touching a house.
Speaker 1: Neighbor for sure. Jenny from The Morning Show also lives
Speaker 1: in Saint Louis Park. When she jumps ropes her neighbors,
Speaker 1: it sounds like she's jumping rope in a living room,
Speaker 1: but there's no there's no.
Speaker 3: Insulation in these houses in Saint Louis Park.
Speaker 2: Forgot about that. My neighbor crazy. My neighbor one time
Speaker 2: I was working out on the treadmill in the basement
Speaker 2: and he was like, dude, you gotta stop like a
Speaker 2: hammer and are doing construction. And I was like, you
Speaker 2: mean my feet, my footsteps on a treadmill. Is that
Speaker 2: what we're talking about?
Speaker 1: I know, of course, not a way to work, and
Speaker 1: that he works out, Please move on.
Speaker 3: So what's the deal? So free to thet kids hoop it.
Speaker 2: So they took it to the judge and the judge
Speaker 2: is like, yeah, I'm not gonna give it a restraining order.
Speaker 2: Children playing basketball in their driveway. So now she's trying
Speaker 2: to sue the family for like this distress or like,
Speaker 2: I don't know, I don't think it's gonna go anywhere.
Speaker 3: Basketball like one am if so I actually know there is.
Speaker 2: It's just like an eight year old and the ten
Speaker 2: year old brothers and they're just like standing there chilling.
Speaker 4: She doesn't like these kids.
Speaker 2: Yeah, kid person, And I get it, Like if you listen,
Speaker 2: if you're not a kid person, it could be really annoyed.
Speaker 2: But at the same time, you can't.
Speaker 3: You got to you gotta go move somewhere with a
Speaker 3: little bit more land.
Speaker 2: I guess why everybody's like, why aren't kids outside anymore?
Speaker 1: I don't know, because they're getting be straining or a
Speaker 1: place against someone who do go to play basketball.
Speaker 3: That's Saint Louis Park is so dramatic right now.
Speaker 2: Yeah, so I don't know, we'll see what plays out.
Speaker 1: Well, I don't really want this woman on my bad side,
Speaker 1: so I'm a little a little nervous reporting on this.
Speaker 3: She sounds like a woman who can make things happen.
Speaker 2: It is Saint Louis Park's fault though, because my kids
Speaker 2: when they try to talk to my neighbor, they'll be like, hey,
Speaker 2: he's not talking to me. I'm like, she's just trying
Speaker 2: to talk to him for twenty minutes. You got so
Speaker 2: he just wants to be in his backyard leave me alone.
Speaker 3: All right, Well, thank you cult for that.
Speaker 1: I thought it was going to be some weird story
Speaker 1: about a guy on an e bike and it was
Speaker 1: going to be about you.
Speaker 2: Let's be honest.
Speaker 1: So all right, we're going to come back. We have
Speaker 1: more guests joining us. We are broadcasting live from Children's
Speaker 1: Minnesota today.
Speaker 3: It is a big day. It's Give to Kids Day.

Speaker 1: like to help them out and the mental health program
Speaker 1: they have here at Children's, you can go to children'smen
Speaker 1: dot org, slash give and donations are being matched today.

Speaker 1: trying to help out. We're raising awareness about their mental
Speaker 1: health program, raising funds for that.
Speaker 3: So we'll be diving more.
Speaker 1: Into that throughout the show. All Right, a little bit
Speaker 1: of trending for you.
Speaker 7: Uh.
Speaker 1: They say, if you want to know if someone is lying,
Speaker 1: there is one word that immediately is a dead giveaway
Speaker 1: someone isn't telling the truth. This is on a recent
Speaker 1: diary of a CEO podcast. They said, when someone says never,
Speaker 1: it's a sign their line never is an extreme. Extremes
Speaker 1: are a dead giveaway all the time. I know you
Speaker 1: say to me, you're like, I would never leave you at.
Speaker 2: Days ago.
Speaker 1: I would never like take my family and move to
Speaker 1: a different state and abandon you.
Speaker 2: I would never say you're crazy behind your back. That's
Speaker 2: not a thing I.
Speaker 1: Deserve that one. I can give you a pass on.
Speaker 1: Let's see, it's May. Obviously, Mental Health Awareness Month kicks
Speaker 1: off today. That's why we're here at Children's but other
Speaker 1: things going on in May.
Speaker 3: No mo may.
Speaker 1: So it's a movement that's supposed to help your yard
Speaker 1: and the bees. So you're not supposed to know your
Speaker 1: month for the entire or the line for the entire month.
Speaker 2: Yes, I tried this last year and then my neighbor
Speaker 2: was like, you know, one of the reasons why I
Speaker 2: moved into this neighborhood is because everybody just takes care
Speaker 2: of their yard and it's just nice. And I was like, dude,
Speaker 2: and I will in jum. I was like, I'm doing
Speaker 2: it for the bees.
Speaker 3: Dude, Yeah, mind your business. You don't have an hoa.
Speaker 3: You're fine. That can't get on you. I do.
Speaker 1: Let me tell you my ajoy will probably have a
Speaker 1: ruler in my yard measuring murmur. Also, no meat may.
Speaker 1: That's another thing. I don't know that I'm going to
Speaker 1: make it on that one. No meat may dot organ
Speaker 1: or on that.
Speaker 2: Oh yeah, no.
Speaker 1: Guess what I've eaten today. All I've had today so
Speaker 1: far is an almond croissant. So I'm sticking to it.
Speaker 1: I'm doing well with no meat may.
Speaker 2: It's kind of a flex.
Speaker 7: You're fasting fasting by eating like an eight hundred calorie to.
Speaker 3: Start my day.
Speaker 2: That was like the only thing you had. So I
Speaker 2: don't know, I is this So.
Speaker 1: Wait a minute, when you've told me the past you
Speaker 1: were fasting, is this how you.
Speaker 3: Are doing fast? I mean technically a thousand calories.
Speaker 2: Any amount of time after you eat is technically fasting.
Speaker 2: So I mean you're sitting a non NonStop cycle of
Speaker 2: fasting if you think about it that way.
Speaker 3: So you do have an angle on everything. Yeah, would
Speaker 3: you say you never not fast?
Speaker 2: I mean I could probably gaslate you into thinking that.
Speaker 1: Okay while I was using the never situation. Okay, well
Speaker 1: that is your trending. We are going to come back.
Speaker 1: We're going to talk to hot Let me pull this
Speaker 1: up because I want to make sure I get the
Speaker 1: information right. We're going to talk to Sarah Jerstad when
Speaker 1: we come back.
Speaker 8: She is the.
Speaker 1: PhD LP child psychologist here at Children's Minnesota, and we're
Speaker 1: going to learn a lot from her. We're going to
Speaker 1: talk about the different topics and aspects of different things
Speaker 1: that children are facing.
Speaker 3: Here at Children's.
Speaker 1: Also ways that we as parents can identify it and.
Speaker 3: Help out with that one.
Speaker 2: Yes, I'm super interested in that.
Speaker 3: Absolutely.
Speaker 2: I'm two younger kids, so.
Speaker 1: I'm still raising funds at Children's MNT dot org slash
Speaker 1: give one on one point three, KATIEWB. We're fallin and cult.
Speaker 1: We're broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota today. We're out in
Speaker 1: Saint Paul and we are just surrounded by such impressive people.
Speaker 1: And you've actually worked here for almost I was looking
Speaker 1: at this almost twenty years, which is crazy.
Speaker 3: I we want to welcome to the show, Sarah.
Speaker 1: Jerstad So PhD LP Child Psychologists. You have an amazing
Speaker 1: and I'm sure very difficult job.
Speaker 10: I love my job and the challenges are something that
Speaker 10: I relish. So I've worked here for as you said,
Speaker 10: almost twenty years. I've worked with kids and families and
Speaker 10: I still do every day, basically helping with all kinds
Speaker 10: of mental health problems, everything from.
Speaker 4: Depression and anxiety to just.
Speaker 10: Dealing and coping with chronic illness, to any kinds of
Speaker 10: adjustments that happen in life. And you guys know there
Speaker 10: can be tons of adjustments when you're a kid and
Speaker 10: a teenager.
Speaker 2: Have you seen throughout the years parents being more open
Speaker 2: to like, Okay, maybe we do need some resources and
Speaker 2: there are people who can help us. Have you seen
Speaker 2: an uptake within your past like five years out of
Speaker 2: those twenty.
Speaker 10: Absolutely, what you're referring to is stigma. When I first
Speaker 10: started this career, and even when I think about when
Speaker 10: I was a teenager, there was so much stigma with
Speaker 10: mental illness, and a lot of times as a young person,
Speaker 10: you know, I think adults would just say, just just
Speaker 10: handle it, you know, you can just deal with it.
Speaker 10: And now there is such a recognition that mental health
Speaker 10: is real and that these concerns are something that need
Speaker 10: to be dealt with and addressed.
Speaker 1: So a lot of the time you hear, Okay, well,
Speaker 1: is it that more people are experiencing it or is
Speaker 1: it that we're acknowledging it more?
Speaker 3: Now, what do you think it is. I think it's
Speaker 3: a combination.
Speaker 10: So to the point of acknowledging it, we have become
Speaker 10: more open and aware of these mental health concerns and
Speaker 10: we're accepting that this is something many people go through
Speaker 10: and need treatment for. But in the past fifteen years,
Speaker 10: if you look at the data, mental health concerns with
Speaker 10: kids and teenagers has steadily increased. So since about twenty
Speaker 10: ten twenty eleven, we've seen those numbers go up, and
Speaker 10: there was a specific uptick then during COVID and just
Speaker 10: after COVID, which you guys can imagine was a stressful time.
Speaker 1: Well, yeah, your eyes lighted at your home, you're not
Speaker 1: interacting with people, You're spending a lot more time on
Speaker 1: your devices, which we know there are correlations there.
Speaker 3: Of course.
Speaker 1: Can you tell us about the mental health crisis that
Speaker 1: is happening both nationwide and here in Minnesota.
Speaker 10: Yeah, so the numbers look similar in Minnesota and nationwide,
Speaker 10: and some of the things that we've seen, we've seen
Speaker 10: increase in depression and anxiety and in suicidal ideation.
Speaker 3: We've seen it across.
Speaker 10: The board, but that uptick is higher in girls, particularly
Speaker 10: in the areas of depression.
Speaker 2: So that's a.
Speaker 10: Concern that we have noted and that we pay attention to.
Speaker 1: If you're turning on your radio and you're one who
Speaker 1: we're talking to, we're talking to Sarah Juristaid. She's a
Speaker 1: child psychologist here at Children's Minnesota, and we're really here
Speaker 1: to mostly raise awareness about their mental health program they
Speaker 1: have here, but also to raise some money. And I
Speaker 1: want to get into We're going to take a quick break,
Speaker 1: but I want to come back and I want to
Speaker 1: talk to you about things that we can look for,
Speaker 1: things that we can do as parents, family support systems
Speaker 1: to uh maybe look for signs ways we can help
Speaker 1: in addition to the programs you offer.
Speaker 3: So what did that?
Speaker 1: We come back and hopefully get a little donation action
Speaker 1: from you. One on one point three katiewb with Fallon
Speaker 1: and Colt. We are live from Children to Minnesota. It
Speaker 1: is Give to Kids' Day. We are trying to raise
Speaker 1: money to help support the mental health program here.
Speaker 3: I really hope that.
Speaker 1: A you're learning a little bit today, whether or not
Speaker 1: you have a kid that would use these programs, it's
Speaker 1: it's good information. As a cult. My are both parents.
Speaker 1: I have a seventeen year old step son. I have
Speaker 1: a five year old daughter cult five and three year.
Speaker 2: Old yeah five almost four. So yeah, you know, these
Speaker 2: are conversations where, especially as they get into school, there's
Speaker 2: emotions and you're not there like how mitigate and they're
Speaker 2: trying to figure out like, oh why do I feel
Speaker 2: this way or whatever. It's a scary step to take,
Speaker 2: you know, when you just release them out to the world.
Speaker 1: Yes, absolutely so, we have with us. Sarah Jerstad, PhD LP.
Speaker 1: She's a child psychologists here and we were just talking
Speaker 1: to her, and I said, before we went to break,
Speaker 1: when we come back, I want I talk about, like,
Speaker 1: as a parent, as a part of the support community
Speaker 1: around the kids, what are some things that we can
Speaker 1: look for in our kids.
Speaker 10: Yeah, that's such a great question because as parents you
Speaker 10: start to wonder what's normal and what's abnormal. A teenager
Speaker 10: hanging out in their room all day online, A lot
Speaker 10: of parents would say, Okay, I think that's what teenagers do.
Speaker 10: But one of the things as a parent you really
Speaker 10: want to do is look at how has my team
Speaker 10: been behaving and is something different. So if this is
Speaker 10: a kid who's been involved in sports or activities or
Speaker 10: with friends and all of a sudden you see them
Speaker 10: isolating more, it's a signal you know, you know your
Speaker 10: kid's the best, and it's a signal that something is
Speaker 10: going on. And then it's time to probably talk to them,
Speaker 10: not with the pressure of you know, something is really wrong,
Speaker 10: but just I'm here to listen and is everything okay?
Speaker 4: Opening up that conversation, and.
Speaker 3: I know a lot of kids are going to be
Speaker 3: like nothing, you know, nothing's.
Speaker 10: Wrong, standard teenage response.
Speaker 1: Yeah, when one thing that and I don't know how
Speaker 1: you'll feel about this.
Speaker 3: So this is what my husband has always said.
Speaker 1: He's found he's been able to get have the best
Speaker 1: conversations and get the most out of his son in
Speaker 1: the car.
Speaker 3: And there's something a strategy for taking boks, Yes.
Speaker 1: Something about they don't have to make direct eye contact,
Speaker 1: and I don't know they have. They're there, they're isolated together.
Speaker 1: It's like that's where the best conversations happen.
Speaker 10: You take the opportunities that you have in front of
Speaker 10: you to talk to your kid. You don't want to
Speaker 10: make it a big sit down because immediately kids feel pressured.
Speaker 4: They're so sensitive to that.
Speaker 10: But getting in the car or just if you regularly
Speaker 10: do things, you regularly take them to somewhere, you regularly
Speaker 10: have dinner, that's where open conversation can happen. And as
Speaker 10: a parent, it's really healthy to model your own feelings.
Speaker 4: If you've had a hard day.
Speaker 10: Or if you're feeling stressed about something, to openly talk
Speaker 10: about it. It really kind of opens up the door
Speaker 10: to your teenager or a young child to recognize it's
Speaker 10: actually okay to talk about things that are hard or stressful.
Speaker 2: I found that as I go when I go to therapy,
Speaker 2: like every Tuesday, I'll be like, all right, I gotta go.
Speaker 2: I have an appointment for myself and they're like, what
Speaker 2: are you talking about? And I'm like, well, it's kind
Speaker 2: of like a doctor a little bit, like I'm going
Speaker 2: to get a check up. And they're like, so on
Speaker 2: your brain. It's your brain, bro, if you have brain surgery.
Speaker 2: And I was like, kind of a little bit. I'm
Speaker 2: just talking about how I feel and what's going on
Speaker 2: in my life. So I can, you know, be the
Speaker 2: best version of me.
Speaker 3: What a great example for your kids.
Speaker 10: Yeah, to show them that it's healthy to take care
Speaker 10: of your mental health, to talk to someone and to
Speaker 10: get support, and for young kids to see that, then
Speaker 10: it's just normalizes it as time goes on.
Speaker 1: If you're just turning on your radio, we're talking to
Speaker 1: Sarah jer said, she's a child psychologist here at Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1: We are in the final weeks of the school or
Speaker 1: my son Steffun just took the act.
Speaker 3: There, the tests happening.
Speaker 1: There's the pressure of finals of graduation. How can students
Speaker 1: manage that?
Speaker 10: Yeah, the pressure of school can be really difficult, and
Speaker 10: when kids feel anxious sometimes their tenants is to just
Speaker 10: put it off right, Maybe I'll just watch some YouTube
Speaker 10: or go play a video game, or.
Speaker 4: Just do something else.
Speaker 10: But when that happens for a long time, then a
Speaker 10: pile up occurs and there's overwhelming that can actually lead
Speaker 10: to pretty significant anxiety. So if parents can kind of
Speaker 10: help them check in structure time, you know, getting their
Speaker 10: assignments done on more of a regular basis, that is
Speaker 10: going to relieve that ultimate anxiety and that pile up
Speaker 10: at the end. Another thing that kids face at the
Speaker 10: end of the year is maybe, especially if you're a
Speaker 10: junior or senior, what am I going to do next?
Speaker 3: What's happening?
Speaker 10: And you know, adults have a little bit of that
Speaker 10: perspective to recognize this. You don't have to make a
Speaker 10: decision for the rest of your life right now, even though.
Speaker 4: As a kid it feels like it just does.
Speaker 10: And so to kind of say the journey is fun
Speaker 10: and awesome and to let your kids know the direction
Speaker 10: they go. If it's one way and then another, that's okay.
Speaker 10: You know you're with them in that process.
Speaker 3: Absolutely well.
Speaker 1: I want to thank you so much for joining us
Speaker 1: and talking with us today. We are raising money for
Speaker 1: Children's Minnesota, especially for their mental health programs. You know,
Speaker 1: today May first kicks off Mental Health Awareness Month. It's
Speaker 1: all year round, but you know they give months to
Speaker 1: certain things.
Speaker 3: So if you want to make a donation, you can.
Speaker 1: You can go to Salin and colts on to one
Speaker 1: oh one point three KDWB broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota,
Speaker 1: kicking off Mental Health Awareness Month and trying to raise
Speaker 1: some money.
Speaker 3: While we're out here, we're going to have doctor G. G.
Speaker 3: Chawla joining.
Speaker 1: She's the vice president chief of General Pediatrics here. I
Speaker 1: know we're going to talk to her about all the
Speaker 1: type of services they have, how they're making it more
Speaker 1: accessible to families. We're going to talk to her in
Speaker 1: about five minutes on KDDA. It's one on one point
Speaker 1: three KATIEWB with Fallon and Cult broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1: We're out in Saint Paul today for a very very
Speaker 1: important Today it's Give to Kids Day and just a
Speaker 1: heads up, we are raising money but also awareness for
Speaker 1: their mental health program and donations are being matched today.
Speaker 1: No pressure, but I say this would be a pretty
Speaker 1: good day to make a donation at Children's MN dot
Speaker 1: org slash give I don't know how we lined all
Speaker 1: these amazing guests up today if you will to talk
Speaker 1: about the program, but we have doctor gg Tala joining
Speaker 1: US vice President in chief of General Pediatrics. So a
Speaker 1: pretty big role you have here and I want to
Speaker 1: dive in immediately. Have you tell people a little bit
Speaker 1: about yourself and your role here at Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 4: Well, thanks so much for having me here.
Speaker 5: I'm super excited about it, and you know, my role
Speaker 5: really started decades ago. My family's very first home was
Speaker 5: on the Children's campus. Wow, and so I grew I'm
Speaker 5: part of the fabric, kind of grew up here, did
Speaker 5: all my medical school and training, and then was really
Speaker 5: fortunate about twenty five years ago to start my career
Speaker 5: at Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 3: Well, I know that Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1: They obviously we're talking about the mental health program. Maybe
Speaker 1: you can lean to that a little bit, kind of
Speaker 1: explain what are the services that you provide, the types
Speaker 1: of different services.
Speaker 5: Yeah, we're really excited about our mental health continuum for
Speaker 5: kids here at Children's. You know, prior to really launching
Speaker 5: our effort, we did some investigation, right, Yeah, we talked
Speaker 5: to our stakeholders internally who take care of kids. We
Speaker 5: talked to our community and really understood what it was
Speaker 5: that they were looking for, what the gaps were, as
Speaker 5: we really honed what our continuum services would be, so
Speaker 5: we offer the full spectrum for pediatric care.
Speaker 4: We're really proud of that.
Speaker 5: It starts all the way from integrated behavioral health, which
Speaker 5: our therapists who work right in our primary care clinics
Speaker 5: embed at the hip with our clinicians to make sure
Speaker 5: that even talking about mental health topics is easy and
Speaker 5: comfortable for patients and for staff alike, all the way
Speaker 5: through to more standalone services for therapy embed into our
Speaker 5: specialty clinics, so when you come to see your cancer doctor,
Speaker 5: you also have a therapist available for you. Then to
Speaker 5: two more advanced care that's really needed for specialized services
Speaker 5: like kids with autism, kids who have eating disorders, and
Speaker 5: then kids who have more acute mental health concerns or
Speaker 5: crises where we need to really devote specific and extra
Speaker 5: time focused on their mental health at partial hospitalization or
Speaker 5: day treatment programs, and even in patient mental health.
Speaker 1: I love what you said about making people more comfortable
Speaker 1: and how they talk about it, because you know, we
Speaker 1: talk about it on our show frequently from celebrities who
Speaker 1: are you know, maybe they're going into treatment. We talk
Speaker 1: about it with our own personal lives, going to therapy
Speaker 1: and addressing things, and I find myself being nervous to
Speaker 1: say the wrong thing, to to approach it the wrong way.
Speaker 1: And so it's so important to help people who are
Speaker 1: in the support systems around kids know how to talk
Speaker 1: about it and be there for their kids, but also,
Speaker 1: like you said, the people actually in the hospital to
Speaker 1: be able to address this and approach it properly.
Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I think everybody's got their story.
Speaker 5: You know. Mental health care is whole body care, right
Speaker 5: all the way from preventative care to the little things
Speaker 5: that if we address early enough, don't escalate, don't become
Speaker 5: big or lifelong problems, especially when we're talking about kids.
Speaker 5: Preventative care or giving kids the tools and the families
Speaker 5: tools really early on can make a whole lifetime of difference.
Speaker 1: If you're turning on your radio and you're like, Okay,
Speaker 1: what exactly am I missing?
Speaker 3: What's going on here?
Speaker 1: We're at Children's Minnesota today and we are talking to
Speaker 1: doctor gg Tawa, Vice President in chief of General Pediatrics here,
Speaker 1: and really the goal is to do all the program
Speaker 1: they have, but also so maybe just give you a
Speaker 1: little bit of information for your own life, things that
Speaker 1: you're dealing with with your kids or how to approach
Speaker 1: different things, and know that there are resources right here.
Speaker 3: In our community.
Speaker 1: And your money today, like a donation that you make
Speaker 1: is going to be doubled. It helps with others dealing
Speaker 1: with this, maybe it will benefit you one day. You
Speaker 1: can go to Children's MN dot org slash GiB but
Speaker 1: we're gonna come back. We're gonna speak one on one
Speaker 1: point three katiewb with Fallon and Cult and joining us
Speaker 1: as doctor Gig Taula here from Children's Minnesota. We are
Speaker 1: broadcasting live. We're actually the Saint Paul location. For many reasons.
Speaker 3: May kicks off.
Speaker 1: Mental health awareness month. That's a big one. It's Give
Speaker 1: to Kids Day. So we put this all together, like
Speaker 1: let's raise some money while we're out here, raise some
Speaker 1: awareness about the mental health program they offer and help
Speaker 1: fund this. So I know, Colt, you you've been waiting
Speaker 1: to ask some questions and I didn't let you at
Speaker 1: all last time.
Speaker 2: So here we go. Yeah, like I don't know, I
Speaker 2: didn't have like structure growing up as a child, like
Speaker 2: I didn't have like anybody to look to to like, Okay,
Speaker 2: this is how you're supposed to like raise a family.
Speaker 2: So I'm kind of just in here, winging it with
Speaker 2: my five year old and my four soon to be
Speaker 2: four year old. And my question is, like, if let's say,
Speaker 2: like a question, I have some questions and some concerns,
Speaker 2: and I'm like unsure if I'm fit to be able
Speaker 2: to help them by my own. What are some of
Speaker 2: the unique things you do here at Children's that can
Speaker 2: kind of like give me a little bit of confidence
Speaker 2: of like, Okay, this is the right step I need
Speaker 2: to take. This is where I need to bring up
Speaker 2: for these resources.
Speaker 5: Well, that's a great question to start, and you know,
Speaker 5: I think it's a lot of the same type of
Speaker 5: questions that families have. You know, there is no great
Speaker 5: playbook for how to you know, what's the best parenting
Speaker 5: advice and what's the greatest technique here and there? Because
Speaker 5: it really is unique and individualized. There's books out there about,
Speaker 5: you know, how to raise children to do X, Y
Speaker 5: and Z, but making it personal is really the most
Speaker 5: important part. So for me, the answer to that would
Speaker 5: be an established trusted relationship first with a primary care
Speaker 5: provider who can bring in integrated behavioral health professionals, which
Speaker 5: are therapists that might help guide you as a parent
Speaker 5: when you're trying to make the right.
Speaker 4: Choice should I should I do?
Speaker 5: Should I try to, you know, temper this child who's
Speaker 5: got really a lot of emotional dysregulation in this way?
Speaker 5: Should I do it with a reward system? Or how
Speaker 5: should I approach it? It really becomes very useful to
Speaker 5: kind of walk it through in a highly unique way
Speaker 5: with our integrated behavioral health therapists.
Speaker 2: And do you find it challenging for some parents? Like
Speaker 2: there's almost like an ego thing like I'm doing I
Speaker 2: should be able to figure out how to do this
Speaker 2: on my own. And I just know because I have
Speaker 2: two daughters and they're completely different. So it's like, all right,
Speaker 2: you're not ones acting this way, the others acting this way,
Speaker 2: so I'm perfect, must not be any I'm doing there.
Speaker 2: It's totally different personality. True, So is there like a
Speaker 2: step where parents kind of have to like kind of
Speaker 2: know like it's not what I'm doing, but this is
Speaker 2: just like the necessary thing for my kid?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I think, Boy, when when a parent
Speaker 5: really feels how challenging it can be. You know, between
Speaker 5: different children too, that's like some of the most vulnerable time,
Speaker 5: and it just it can eat away at you to
Speaker 5: not feel like you're perfect or you don't have the
Speaker 5: right answer for one child compared to the other child.
Speaker 5: You know, I think the first thing to really make
Speaker 5: sure that parents know is that they should not be alone.
Speaker 5: They should not ever feel alone in that moment, especially culturally.
Speaker 5: You know, we've got a lot of ego built up
Speaker 5: on what parenting looks like and making our kids feel
Speaker 5: really successful.
Speaker 4: But it really does take a village. I mean, that's
Speaker 4: exactly what it is.
Speaker 5: And we've created a little bit of society where we've
Speaker 5: siloed ourselves instead of leaning into that community and extended
Speaker 5: family support. But think about you know, your healthcare provider,
Speaker 5: Children's Minnesota, and other teammates as being part of that village.
Speaker 1: I know, one thing that stops a lot of families
Speaker 1: is they don't feel that they have the resources or
Speaker 1: the funds. Things are not accessible to every family. How
Speaker 1: is it different with Children's Minnesota. How are you making
Speaker 1: programs like this more accessible?
Speaker 5: Yeah, you know, I think it's a really good point
Speaker 5: healthcare is complicated, Yes it is. Yes, healthcare can even
Speaker 5: be a little bit broken, and that's you know. One
Speaker 5: example is this concept of integrated behavioral health. So in
Speaker 5: the past, we used to identify kids and families who
Speaker 5: really needed extra support from a therapy standpoint, and we
Speaker 5: would give them a referral right right, and that type
Speaker 5: of referral that means you, as a parent who's already
Speaker 5: feeling overwhelmed, have to now figure out how to get
Speaker 5: a hold of somebody in network and do all of
Speaker 5: these things to get your child that next needed step.
Speaker 4: And that all on.
Speaker 5: Its own, you've got at least fifty percent of families
Speaker 5: that do not make the step right just because of
Speaker 5: the hurdle. That's what integrated behavioral health does, is it
Speaker 5: takes away at least.
Speaker 4: One of the hurdles.
Speaker 5: When we're in the room and you're telling me about
Speaker 5: how difficult your child is with this type of behavior,
Speaker 5: we're going to pull in a therapist right then and there,
Speaker 5: make sure that we establish how easy it is to
Speaker 5: access right there in the clinic that you've already been
Speaker 5: coming to, and start to take care of services there.
Speaker 5: And if we can't, then we're going to partner with
Speaker 5: the community for where should your child go next, and
Speaker 5: make that handoff so that it's easier, it feels safer,
Speaker 5: and it's not just up to the parent to do
Speaker 5: it exactly.
Speaker 1: I mean you're exactly like you said, the parent is
Speaker 1: already feeling a lot. They're also working, they're raising kids.
Speaker 1: They it's probably not just the one kid, right, Usually
Speaker 1: there are others that they're taking care of, so that
Speaker 1: it's a lot on the parents. Amazing that you really
Speaker 1: help fill that gap for them and make life just
Speaker 1: a little bit easier during a really difficult time.
Speaker 3: We're at Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1: We've been talking to doctor Gigi Taula here and I
Speaker 1: want to just say that these programs do become more
Speaker 1: available to families with more funding that we raise here
Speaker 1: today and today they are doubling donations. If you get
Speaker 1: a chance, maybe something touches you, maybe this is a
Speaker 1: program that's helped you and your family in the past.
Speaker 1: This is your time to donate. You can go to
Speaker 1: Children's mn dot org slash give Thank you so much,
Speaker 1: We appreciate your time.
Speaker 4: Thanks for having me Today.
Speaker 3: It's the Pop Culture Minute with Balan and.
Speaker 4: Cult on one on one point three d w B.
Speaker 1: We're so distracted because Break is the dog here at
Speaker 1: Children's Minnesota. He's the best good boys, a little stuffy.
Speaker 3: He's going to the lane in his bed and they sit.
Speaker 1: They're actually going to get another dog soon, specifically for
Speaker 1: their mental health programs.
Speaker 2: Excited they're going to be best friends. I know, dude.
Speaker 2: They need a TV show, kind.
Speaker 3: Of a little bit you live camp, Live Cam.
Speaker 1: Oh, I watch it all the time. Just a couple
Speaker 1: of ideas. We're throwing out pressure. Obviously, we are raising
Speaker 1: money today and Children's of Minnesota.
Speaker 2: It's that could be a every we get rise gets
Speaker 2: a little treaty tre treat.
Speaker 3: Why would you deprive Rigs of a treat It's disrespectful.
Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know it is being matched today, So
Speaker 1: you know you're doing good Bye Rigs. You're doing good
Speaker 1: by Children's Minnesota, their mental health program.
Speaker 3: It's all good stuff.
Speaker 1: You can donate now at Children's m n dot org
Speaker 1: slash give all.
Speaker 3: Right.
Speaker 1: Diving into our pop culture minute, as you know Nick
Speaker 1: Cannon twelve kids with six women, which is you know whatever.
Speaker 1: I don't it's in on my business, but I will
Speaker 1: say that he confirmed he did have his area ensured
Speaker 1: for ten million dollars.
Speaker 2: What does that even mean? I'm confused.
Speaker 1: Well, some celebrities will do it like it was like
Speaker 1: they used to say, like Jennifer Lopez had her butt insirt,
Speaker 1: but like you the best asset, so.
Speaker 2: If it goes away, happens to it?
Speaker 1: Yes, because that's where they're making their money or what.
Speaker 3: And he says this is his best best asset.
Speaker 8: I don't know.
Speaker 1: But the funny part about it, he goes on the
Speaker 1: podcast he confirmed he did this, and then one of
Speaker 1: his baby mamas reposted and said, ha ha ha ha
Speaker 1: funny and he plans on seeing your child. It's been
Speaker 1: over a month, but good to know she'll get some
Speaker 1: of your money if anything happened.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean the issue is like they have to
Speaker 2: go into it knowing that he's not going to be
Speaker 2: around right well, because at some point when you have twelve,
Speaker 2: it's like it's hard.
Speaker 1: To yeah, see you, mommy. I have a hard time
Speaker 1: being a great mom. I feel like I'm a one kid.
Speaker 1: So yeah, I don't know how Nick Knon's doing it
Speaker 1: with well, feels like he probably isn't.
Speaker 3: I don't know who am I to judge?
Speaker 2: Right, dude, Mike drop more.
Speaker 1: Moments come and play for the family of Bill Belichick.
Speaker 1: He remember did a fun little interview with CBS, and
Speaker 1: by the way, he's said since that he's like upset
Speaker 1: with the line of questioning was supposed to be just
Speaker 1: about his book, because the interviewer said, Hey, how did
Speaker 1: you guys meet to Bill in his seventies and his
Speaker 1: girlfriend in her twenties, And she's like, we're not talking
Speaker 1: about that.
Speaker 3: She like popped up out of nowhere, and everyone's like,
Speaker 3: oh my gosh, where's she come from?
Speaker 1: And CBS like, we actually specifically over and over again
Speaker 1: to his publisher, said we would be asking a variety
Speaker 1: of questions, and they approved it over and over again.
Speaker 1: So we were not out of line with our question
Speaker 1: at all. And there was no weird editing. So what
Speaker 1: are they even talking about? So they're standing firm and
Speaker 1: what they did.
Speaker 2: I think she's genius. I think she did this because
Speaker 2: she knew it blew up. I don't even know he
Speaker 2: had a book, and so she just said that.
Speaker 1: So well, I guess a couple of his previous players
Speaker 1: kind of went on their podcast to defend him and
Speaker 1: to sit down and they're like, you know, this is
Speaker 1: like normal to do when you have a couple sitting there,
Speaker 1: and she was kind of acting as publicists. Even Nicky
Speaker 1: Glazer commented on the podcast, posting, one hundred percent this
Speaker 1: she's acting as his publicist. Publicists do this during interviews
Speaker 1: all the time. People are out for blood. But his
Speaker 1: daughter in law commented to her and said, publicists act
Speaker 1: in a professional manner and don't storm offset delaying an interview.
Speaker 5: Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, there's really no way around it. You gotta
Speaker 2: but again, maybe what they want for the publicity.
Speaker 1: Yeah, Well, he's saying she didn't cross any lines, YadA, YadA,
Speaker 1: and then everyone else is going bill blink twice.
Speaker 2: Couldn't he just like not have like he does? He
Speaker 2: is it necessary for him to even have something like
Speaker 2: I don't know, it just feels.
Speaker 1: Are saying have a girlfriend. Well, most humans enjoy companionship.
Speaker 2: Well, he knows why she's there though, right, I mean,
Speaker 2: he's gotta think.
Speaker 3: I don't think.
Speaker 1: I don't think when older men are rich and they
Speaker 1: have very young girlfriends, I don't really think that big
Speaker 1: care that that might be the reason they're there. True,
Speaker 1: they're still there, you know what? I mean, they're like cool,
Speaker 1: So I don't think that that relate fathers. On it all,
Speaker 1: they're saying that Rihanna might surprise every one of the
Speaker 1: Matt Galler revealing she's pregnant again, which I think is
Speaker 1: a crazy thing to say.
Speaker 3: And let's see.
Speaker 1: Lord is dropping her new album, her fourth album, on
Speaker 1: June twenty seventh, and they say Chapel Rowan is looking
Speaker 1: to enter the acting arena. You're looking for something new
Speaker 1: to stream the four season show Tina Fey Road Stars
Speaker 1: and with Steve Carell, Will Forte and more. It's not
Speaker 1: broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota or Fallon and cult on
Speaker 1: one oh one point three k d WB. And everyone
Speaker 1: is aware of obviously mental health, right we're talking about it.
Speaker 1: We're more comfortable talking to our kids about it, our
Speaker 1: family and they offer an amazing program here at children
Speaker 1: So that's what we're here for. We're to raise more
Speaker 1: awareness about the program, to raise money at children'smn dot
Speaker 1: org slash give, and we're talking to the people that
Speaker 1: are a part of the program, like Krista Majeris, she
Speaker 1: is the child Life supervisor And I want to talk
Speaker 1: about now you you work with probably the most popular
Speaker 1: member of the staff, which absolutely, yes, hands down. So
Speaker 1: what I mean by that, I'll let you explain that, Christa.
Speaker 1: So who do you work with and explain a little
Speaker 1: bit more about the program you offer which is so amazing.
Speaker 11: Yes, So we started the medical dog program here at
Speaker 11: Children's Minnesota just over.
Speaker 4: Two years ago.
Speaker 3: And also it's still pretty new. Yes, yeah, it is so.
Speaker 11: Yes, we have Rigs our first medical doctor on staff.
Speaker 1: It's so hard to resist and we like we immediately
Speaker 1: everyone people by the way earlier came in, they didn't
Speaker 1: want to meet me and called Doug his Riggs here.
Speaker 3: I was like no, and they left, right, that's true.
Speaker 11: So, yes, Riggs is a four year old Lab golden mix.
Speaker 11: He came to us from Cando Canines, who helps train
Speaker 11: assistance animals, and he is the first dog in our
Speaker 11: medical doctor or medical dog program.
Speaker 3: What does he do? What is what is he? How
Speaker 3: does he help patients?
Speaker 11: Riggs is nominal and I say that his biggest gift
Speaker 11: is he is a connector. He really helps connect staff
Speaker 11: and our patients. Right, So a lot of our patients
Speaker 11: that come in, and specifically today we're talking about mental
Speaker 11: health and Riggs does interface with you know, patients that
Speaker 11: are here for acute mental health services and specifically within
Speaker 11: our eating disorders population and program, and you know there
Speaker 11: can be some stigma attached to some of those things, right,
Speaker 11: And Riggs he comes in no judgment. He is ready
Speaker 11: to connect with patients and kids where they're at, and
Speaker 11: he helps he helps us every day to do our
Speaker 11: jobs more easily as well.
Speaker 2: And you were actually telling us a little bit about
Speaker 2: there's a procedure you do with him, including nail polish
Speaker 2: if you want to jump into that. Let's talk about that,
Speaker 2: right right.
Speaker 11: So when I talk about connections, I'm talking about how
Speaker 11: sometimes kids in the healthcare environment can be slow to
Speaker 11: warm up, slow to talk, slow to connect with us
Speaker 11: or with their peers too, And so Riggs is just
Speaker 11: like that avenue for us, like maybe they don't want
Speaker 11: to talk to us right now, but they'll talk to him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, right, exactly.
Speaker 11: And maybe also he helps with those social connections amongst
Speaker 11: other kids too. So we were talking earlier about how
Speaker 11: just last week there were four patients in our eating
Speaker 11: disorders program and they were all had each a paw
Speaker 11: and we're painting his his nails all different colors, and
Speaker 11: yet they were interacting with each other too and connecting together,
Speaker 11: and it was just a really fun moment. And I
Speaker 11: think what's great about the program is it it can
Speaker 11: look on the outside like a lot of fluff and cuddles, right,
Speaker 11: but it's it's real work, and it's work that is
Speaker 11: based in what their medical goals and their treatment plan is.
Speaker 1: Absolutely, we're at Children's Minnesota talking about their mental health
Speaker 1: program and one of the big things is part of
Speaker 1: the you said it was called the medical Dog program,
Speaker 1: and we're talking about Rigs a little bit. We're gonna
Speaker 1: come back, We're gonna talk to Christa a little bit
Speaker 1: more about the program.
Speaker 3: And obviously we've posted photos and videos and Rigs.
Speaker 1: You can see those on social media Fallon and Cult
Speaker 1: also one oh one three KATWB on Instagram. We also
Speaker 1: have linked one oh one point three katiewb.
Speaker 3: With Fallon and Cult. And we have the Child.
Speaker 1: Life Supervisor here at Children's Minnesota joining us, Krista Majeris.
Speaker 3: So we were talking about Rigs now. Riggs is a.
Speaker 1: Very important staff member here at Children's part of the
Speaker 1: Medical Dog program. First of all, we gotta give Riggs
Speaker 1: a shout out. If you want to give him a
Speaker 1: follow on Instagram. What's his handle? Riggs Underscore MD.
Speaker 4: A professional.
Speaker 3: Yes, please follow, Please do.
Speaker 1: If you were looking for some wholesome content in the
Speaker 1: world of social media, this is your answer.
Speaker 2: You just have like one of those like play doctor
Speaker 2: kids and if we've ran through some simulations like getting
Speaker 2: a shot and you have like a needle in his
Speaker 2: and you're just chilling, which.
Speaker 1: Is another tool you use to help kids here in
Speaker 1: the mental health program and throughout, like using Riggs as
Speaker 1: the example.
Speaker 11: Absolutely a lot of what he does is helping kids
Speaker 11: learn about the hospital environment and normalizing it for them,
Speaker 11: because that's the role of a childlife specialist and our
Speaker 11: medical Dog team is to help kids understand their healthcare
Speaker 11: experience and make it a little less scary. So if
Speaker 11: that means we can work with them through play, through art,
Speaker 11: through music, through Rigs a their dog, those are the
Speaker 11: avenues that we use, and we use the language of
Speaker 11: kids pay as well, and so using some of those
Speaker 11: medical play tools with rigs and patients just helps things
Speaker 11: to be a little less scary.
Speaker 1: Another amazing thing about children's here. We're here at the
Speaker 1: Saint Paul location, which is like your main area is
Speaker 1: child life and maybe you can explain what that is
Speaker 1: a little bit for you know, patients who come here
Speaker 1: for treatment. Absolutely, so our childlife, music therapy, a healing
Speaker 1: arts program here is part of the wrap around services
Speaker 1: that all patients receive. And the amazing thing is that
Speaker 1: it never shows up on their bill.
Speaker 6: Wow.
Speaker 4: And so that's why.
Speaker 11: We're raising money today is for those services so they're
Speaker 11: accessible for every patient that comes and so that we
Speaker 11: can help promote their child development even while they're here
Speaker 11: in the hospital, because no kid or family plans to
Speaker 11: be ill or injured, and so we really want to
Speaker 11: continue them on that correct path of development while they're
Speaker 11: here so that they can still be kids and understand
Speaker 11: the experience that they're having too, So teaching them about
Speaker 11: the hospital in ways that they can understand whether they're
Speaker 11: two or twelve or eighteen. And so we use a
Speaker 11: lot of different modalities, like I said, play music, art,
Speaker 11: all of the above.
Speaker 2: That's going to be a really cool experience just seeing
Speaker 2: like a kid come in like a little nervous and
Speaker 2: then like by the time they leave, you're like, oh,
Speaker 2: they're loving it. They're interested, they're aware of everything that's
Speaker 2: going on and.
Speaker 11: It's about building those coping skills, and that is really
Speaker 11: what mental health is about, too, is building those coping
Speaker 11: skills so that they can master some of those things
Speaker 11: that they're gonna come up against in life. Right, whether
Speaker 11: it's a healthcare experience or experience outside of the hospital,
Speaker 11: that they have those coping skills built in them that
Speaker 11: we help them develop here they can take forward into
Speaker 11: future medical experiences or life experiences.
Speaker 1: It's amazing, and you mentioned I mean, the reason we
Speaker 1: can keep this off the bill is because of the
Speaker 1: funds that we're raising today and they're being matched. So
Speaker 1: we would be so so so appreciative you could help
Speaker 1: out these amazing programs a Children's Minnesota. You go to
Speaker 1: Children's MN dot org slash give. Also, I know this
Speaker 1: a lot of companies also match your donation, so I
Speaker 1: guess you can double it up in that way as well,
Speaker 1: So check that out.
Speaker 3: I want to thank you so much. Christmas one on one.
Speaker 1: Point three KATIEWB with Balin and Cold we are broadcasting
Speaker 1: live from Children's Minnesota. Are actually at the same Fall
Speaker 1: location and it's a really big days Give to Kids
Speaker 1: to day and we're hoping to, like you know, get
Speaker 1: you some information on the health program they offer here.
Speaker 1: We're gonna be talking to experts throughout the show at
Speaker 1: learning a lot ourselves and also raising money for the program.
Speaker 3: Or need you more details? We come back on one
Speaker 3: on one point three kt W what normal or nope?
Speaker 2: On one point three KTWB normal or nope.
Speaker 1: I know someone who when they make a cold drink
Speaker 1: with ice cubes, they put the ice in first, where
Speaker 1: I do the drink first and then ice cubes.
Speaker 3: Normal or dope?
Speaker 2: I feel, Wait, do you think which one you put
Speaker 2: the ice in first? Because then you pour the water
Speaker 2: or whatever you're poorn in and then you know, like
Speaker 2: how much the laquld is supposed because then sometimes you
Speaker 2: throw the ice in it'say.
Speaker 3: Oh lashes, miscalculated splashes.
Speaker 1: So I would say I think the same thing, ice
Speaker 1: cubes first, then the drink.
Speaker 3: But a lot of the time I filled the cup.
Speaker 1: Of water, go over to the ice tray and then
Speaker 1: PLoP it in. It's it's rebellious.
Speaker 2: Well that's a flax hav and an ice tray. That's
Speaker 2: I don't have any ice in my house at all.
Speaker 2: Actually that's all ambient, dude.
Speaker 3: I couldn't live in a world without ice, it's just.
Speaker 2: All luke warms. Basically, just like.
Speaker 3: It's so European of you, it is so European normal.
Speaker 1: Or no washing bigger dishes in the bathtub because your
Speaker 1: kitchen is too small. I don't mean like pots and fans,
Speaker 1: but like cake and cupcake carriers and other huge kitchen items.
Speaker 2: So you take into the bathtub and then you actually, no,
Speaker 2: that's you're a psycho.
Speaker 6: No.
Speaker 1: Also, what are you doing with food? I wonder there
Speaker 1: you just like clogging your bathtub with cupcake?
Speaker 2: How are you in?
Speaker 3: Is your apartment? I'm not trying to judge you, but
Speaker 3: I'm worried.
Speaker 2: If you're in like an RV camper, that makes sense,
Speaker 2: But you know, how small is your.
Speaker 3: Doesn't make sense. I still don't see a world where
Speaker 3: I take my.
Speaker 2: Well if your sink is like super small, like get it,
Speaker 2: but like where.
Speaker 1: My mom uses her dishwasher for extra storage and just
Speaker 1: hand washes her dishes.
Speaker 2: But that feels like you could go anywhere else.
Speaker 3: Tell that storage because she has an apartment, doesn't have
Speaker 3: a junk, she doesn't have a lot of storage. She's
Speaker 3: living in a small apart in your garage she has.
Speaker 1: And I've I've acted. She made a flaw. She doesn't
Speaker 1: get to put anything else in my storage or my garage.
Speaker 3: I'm not kidding.
Speaker 1: She's so hot and heavy on Facebook marketplace like I
Speaker 1: got this for free.
Speaker 3: I'm like, how is that my problem? I don't want
Speaker 3: that my garage.
Speaker 2: Listen, your mom can bring she could, she can use
Speaker 2: my storage and by storage I mean just my basement.
Speaker 2: So that's what it is. So yeah, big mistake, dude.
Speaker 2: Death can come over anytime.
Speaker 3: Normal or no.
Speaker 1: Peeling a carrot and not wanting to dirty another utensil,
Speaker 1: so you just bite off the ends. You know you
Speaker 1: would You would normally chop off the end of a carrot.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I guess you could be able with a strawberry too, right,
Speaker 2: I don't ever even thought about that if you're cutting
Speaker 2: up for your kid.
Speaker 7: Yeah, I can't subscribe to that.
Speaker 3: At some point in life, your child would like recall
Speaker 3: you know there, they would remember.
Speaker 1: Dad always just bit the top of my strawberry off,
Speaker 1: and they would I don't think they would like that memory.
Speaker 2: I had to stop doing it with grapes because I
Speaker 2: would like bite a grape in half in hand, and
Speaker 2: they recently were like, yeah, dude, I don't want.
Speaker 3: To I don't want to me the line somewhere yet.

Speaker 1: a little bit of trending for you.
Speaker 8: Uh.
Speaker 1: They say, if you want to know if someone is lying,
Speaker 1: there is one word that immediately is a dead giveaway
Speaker 1: someone isn't telling the truth.
Speaker 3: This is on a recent diary of a CEO podcast.
Speaker 1: They said, when someone says never, it's a sign they're lying.

Speaker 1: give you a pass on. Let's see, it's May. Obviously,
Speaker 1: mental Health Awareness Month kicks off today. That's why we're

Speaker 2: Yes see. I tried this last year and then my
Speaker 2: neighbor was like, you know, one of the reasons why
Speaker 2: I moved into this neighborhood is because everybody just takes
Speaker 2: care of their yard and it's just nice.
Speaker 3: And I was like, dude, and I will in Jim.

Speaker 1: had today so far is an almond croissant, So I'm
Speaker 1: sticking to it. I'm doing well with no meat may.
Speaker 2: It's kind of a flex.
Speaker 7: You're fasting, fasting by eating an eight hundred calorie criissant
Speaker 7: to start my day.
Speaker 2: That was like the only thing you had, So I
Speaker 2: don't know. I is this?
Speaker 1: So wait a minute, when you've told me the past
Speaker 1: you were fasting, is this how you were doing fast
Speaker 1: I mean technically a thousand calories.
Speaker 2: Any amount of time after you eat is technically fasting.
Speaker 2: So I mean you're sitting a non NonStop cycle of
Speaker 2: fasting if you think about it that way.
Speaker 3: So you do have an angle on everything. Yeah, would
Speaker 3: you say you never not fast?

Speaker 1: we've hit over ten thousand.
Speaker 3: Dollars raised today. My Children's going to Settle.
Speaker 1: We're so excited we're here and we've been here all afternoon.
Speaker 3: A little bit different of a show.
Speaker 1: We mix in some normal stuff, but it's all to
Speaker 1: raise awareness for the mental health program at Children's and
Speaker 1: also to raise some money, as you heard in their
Speaker 1: doubling donations today. So when you make a donation, it's
Speaker 1: really really exciting because it doubles up and helps great programs,
Speaker 1: which like when we're going to talk about right now,
Speaker 1: we have a guest joining us, Natasha Stark. She is
Speaker 1: a music therapist here and Natasha, I feel like everyone
Speaker 1: talks about this all the time, like how special music
Speaker 1: is to every person. I mean, we see videos all
Speaker 1: the time of people hearing a song and it will
Speaker 1: it's almost like it takes one back to a different
Speaker 1: place and time. It truly is like the I think,
Speaker 1: the biggest connector that we as humans have. So I
Speaker 1: want to talk a little bit about the work you
Speaker 1: do here at Children's with music therapy.
Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean you're right on, and music is the
Speaker 6: greatest connector, right and I get to see that every
Speaker 6: single day in my job.
Speaker 8: So I'm one of the music therapists.
Speaker 6: You're at Children's Minnesota, and I specifically work a lot
Speaker 6: with our mental health patients. So I'm down in our
Speaker 6: partial hospitalization program in Lakeville, and then I also spend
Speaker 6: time here at the Saint Paul Hospital.
Speaker 1: So if you're a patient at Childrize, what does that
Speaker 1: look like? When do you know you're going to work
Speaker 1: with someone and what is that relationship like?
Speaker 6: So it's a little different depending on if you're in
Speaker 6: the impatient or outpatient setting. So at our partial hospitalization program,
Speaker 6: I do groups four times a week down in Lakeville,
Speaker 6: and we also have music therapy services in Roseville as well.
Speaker 6: So those groups look like creating music, talking about music,
Speaker 6: listening to music, all with the goal of focusing on
Speaker 6: our mental health.
Speaker 8: And it could look like.
Speaker 6: An instrument lesson, but the goal isn't necessarily to actually
Speaker 6: learn the instrument. The goal is self esteem, self expression,
Speaker 6: coping skills, all those things that go into mental health treatment.
Speaker 1: Right, isn't an interesting you know we were talking about
Speaker 1: which another another of your coworkers, there's amazing Rigs.
Speaker 8: Yes, my favorite coworker.
Speaker 1: It's the things that you don't even realize that this
Speaker 1: is something that is helping this. It just seems like
Speaker 1: I'm interacting with an amazing dog today. I am listening
Speaker 1: to music that I love today, and you don't realize
Speaker 1: the way that that is helping you or your teen
Speaker 1: with mental health.
Speaker 3: It's crazy.
Speaker 8: Yeah.
Speaker 6: Absolutely. It might look like any other musical interaction. It
Speaker 6: might look like a jam session, it might look like karaoke.
Speaker 6: But because I'm a board certified music therapist, I have
Speaker 6: the skills to design these musical interventions in a way
Speaker 6: that meets those mental health goals.
Speaker 2: And what's it like? What does it feel like when
Speaker 2: you see, like, let's say a kid comes in for
Speaker 2: the first time, and then you go through this maybe
Speaker 2: it's like a couple weeks or whatever, and then you
Speaker 2: really see them start to build the confidence. What is
Speaker 2: that feeling like for you?
Speaker 8: Oh?
Speaker 6: I mean, it's the best feeling in the world. It's
Speaker 6: absolutely the reason why do what I do well.
Speaker 1: We are raising money today for Children's Minnesota. And if
Speaker 1: you're like, who are you talking to? We were just
Speaker 1: talking to Natasha Stark. She is a music therapist here
Speaker 1: at Children's and she rushed over here from the Minneapolis
Speaker 1: campus because we're at Saint Paul today to talk about
Speaker 1: this because it's so important to her and to so
Speaker 1: many our mental health and our kids mental health. T.
Speaker 1: One oh one point three katiewb with Fallon and Cole.
Speaker 1: We're talking to Natasha Stark because we are live at
Speaker 1: Children's Minnesota and we are talking about their mental health
Speaker 1: program they offer here, which Cole and I have learned
Speaker 1: a lot today also from various people who have joined us.
Speaker 1: And Natasha your specialty. You are the music one of
Speaker 1: the music therapists here. We're raising money right now. Donations
Speaker 1: are being doubled, which is fantastic. What does the money
Speaker 1: do to help programs like yours here at Children's.
Speaker 6: So music therapy, child life. These are services that don't
Speaker 6: show up in a patient's bill. They are not charged
Speaker 6: to insurance and a patient will never be charged to
Speaker 6: receive them. And that means that donations are so important
Speaker 6: in order to keep our work going. And know that
Speaker 6: if you are giving money to Children's Minnesota today, you
Speaker 6: are supporting a holistic version of health, not just the
Speaker 6: medical treatment, not just standard therapy, not just medications for
Speaker 6: a child or teen, but music are expression, right, those
Speaker 6: things that really make up a full person's health it's.
Speaker 1: Talking to so many different people at Children's today. Really,
Speaker 1: you really do see the teamwork that goes into it
Speaker 1: and how they look at each person as an individual
Speaker 1: and figure out what's best for them. So maybe it
Speaker 1: is coming to see you, but maybe it's going to
Speaker 1: see this person. Maybe it's doing this, and it's really
Speaker 1: so personalized in the way you commit to help families
Speaker 1: because the music therapy isn't just for the individual, like
Speaker 1: this is gonna be like a whole family thing, right.
Speaker 6: Absolutely, yeah, Family centered care is really important to all
Speaker 6: of the music therapists here. Involving families in all the
Speaker 6: musical interactions have is really important.
Speaker 3: And you have some favorite artists yourself, right, Oh I do?
Speaker 6: Yes?
Speaker 1: Yes?
Speaker 2: Oh yes, yeah.
Speaker 8: Did somebody tell you that I'm a swiftie?
Speaker 3: You did?
Speaker 1: We guarantee that Swifty like some swifty action is going
Speaker 1: to be involved in some of these music there.
Speaker 3: I heard maybe Scissa as well.
Speaker 6: Oh yeah, I do love Sizza, so I yeah, personally
Speaker 6: my personal preferences.
Speaker 8: I love Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6: But the wonderful thing about doing music therapy is that
Speaker 6: I'm rarely to never choosing the music for these patients.
Speaker 6: They are telling me what kind of music they like,
Speaker 6: and then I'm figuring out how to use that music
Speaker 6: to help them.
Speaker 2: So you didn't like coming to this career and make
Speaker 2: everybody a little swifty like that, right.
Speaker 6: Yeah, No, I don't think that would be very ethical
Speaker 6: in my role.
Speaker 8: I just don't bring it up unless they bring it up.
Speaker 8: I got focus on the patient, focus on the client.
Speaker 6: If the client wants Kendrick Lamar, We're gonna do Kendrick Lamar.
Speaker 6: I can make any music therapeutic.
Speaker 8: Oh that's amazing.
Speaker 3: I love to hear that.
Speaker 2: Now that that's been one of the most eye opening
Speaker 2: things since we've been here today is just when you
Speaker 2: think about like mental health can be like so heavy
Speaker 2: and negative, but everything that Children's here offers is just
Speaker 2: like so positive and so eye opening and it really
Speaker 2: helps like take that make the step into like bettering
Speaker 2: yourself just so easy with all the resources you have.
Speaker 8: Yeah. Absolutely, I mean that's the goal.
Speaker 3: Right, absolutely. And you can help that.
Speaker 1: You can help the patience, You can help families by
Speaker 1: donating to the amazing programs. They have their mental health
