Speaker 1 (00:00):
One on one point three Katie w B where Fallon
and Colt. You know, our show is going to be
a little bit different today, but I think it's really
really great. Colt and I are very open about mental health.
And you may not be aware of this, but May
kicks off mental health Awareness Month.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yes it does. So we're here to uh to learn,
to share for sure.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
And we're if you're like, where are you? We're broadcasting
live from Children's Minnesota. We're at their Saint Paul location,
and this is this is new to me. I think
you know, we've done morning show live broadcasts for Children's.
We've talked about the amazing work they do with families
and with children with cancer, but I was unaware of
the mental health program they offer children's and so this
(00:45):
has been educational for me and I'm sure I'm gonna
learn even more throughout the days. We have experts, doctors
and various people join us on the show.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
And I have two little kiddo's and it's it's going
to know that there is there's resources out there in
case you know something's happening like anxiety, depression, you know,
different conditions, there is a place to go and.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
That is here, yeah, and we it is also give
to Kids Day, so we are hoping you will make
a donation as we hang out here. We're gonna do,
like you know, some normal show things in the mix obviously,
but the website you'll go to is Children's mn dot
org slash gift. I'm gonna kick it off myself here
in a minute by making a donation.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Huge one too. You were telling me, I was you
show many amount? I was like, dude, really, how do
you have three million?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Huge is subjective huges to everyone is a little bit different,
but the mental health care provided here is tailored to
each child's unique needs and concerns. So they just really
do have the full range of mental health care for
kids and teens, which we'll be diving into more throughout
the show. But like I said, we also will be
mixing in some of the unhinged things that we do,
(01:47):
and so that's gonna happen when we come back. I
have an unbelievable story of the day that the headline alone.
I was like, well, I don't even know if I
can read this, but we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
We're gonna do it. Okay, if you're in the middle
of a road range incident. This might you might this
thing might be far.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It's too far.
Speaker 2 (02:03):

doing this, don't recommend. Okay, So we have that and
a thousand dollars in less than ten minutes. Own if
you win, you could donate a little bit.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Awesome, thank you. It's the unbelievable story of the day.
On one oh one.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Point three kd w ME we're broadcasting live from Children's
We're at the same publication actually today and we are
raising money for Give to Kids Day. We're supporting the
mental health program they offer here at Children's Minnesota. We
got a little update where it's sixty seven hundred dollars,
so we definitely need your help. That's a great start.
(02:39):
I mean we we really want to raise a ton
of money. So if you get a chance, maybe you're
on your phone right now, you're on a work computer,
you can go to Children's MN dot org slash give now.
Transitioning from that into this, I literally send the gold.
I go maybe should we even do this story?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I think it's too good to pass up.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Really an unbelievable story of the day. And I was
hot in my tracks when I read the headline of
this one. So we've all been a part of like
a road rage situation, right.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, put you more than others. We know that.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I mean, you're gonna come for me on that.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I just I would say I'm an aggressive driver, and
that's fine. That's fine.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
So I don't even know exactly what happened in this situation,
just the fact that there was road rage happening and
a woman. There's a clip of this on TMC if
you like really need to see it, let me tell
you what I did not. I did not watch the video.
I'm sure Colts is quickly fizzling right now.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Though.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
It was like she she gets out of her car,
she runs around with the other car.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
She gets, she gets by the hood, she drives her pants,
and she goes to the bathroom the car.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Like that's not it. That's not a quick process.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
That's usually I mean, is the person just sitting there
and watching this whole like they're probably in disputs, like
I can't believe this is happening in my car right now?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
You can make it happen in a pinch, like if
you had to, if you ran out the word usage. Okay,
now here's the thing. What was it like?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Like?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So she runs out, she gets on and then like
a right, yeah, that's solid. She had a locked and load.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
That's oh they're now they've dubbed this woman. I guess
this must be the location Delco. They've dubbed her on
social media the Delco pooper.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
She should have went with Delco downpur But it's good,
it's all right.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
You really should be hired.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Did she's just running around? Do you get arrested for that?
Or do you get you get a pass because it's awesome,
or like, well.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I can tell you this.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
She seemed giddy as she walked away, and the victim
just like honks at her while she's doing it. She's like,
oh my god, what's happening. Oh my gosh, she's really happening.
So she starts honking like to try to make her stop,
and she.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Doesn't at all.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So now you're in the other car, right, yeah, wild
if you have a dash can that's.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Crazy, that is I don't want Do you.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Go right to the car wash or do you just
go home?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
No, you call the police, you take photos, you sit
in disbelief, you call friends you FaceTime and you're like, well,
I don't is this really what happens?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I'm going to a car wash. If I can't find one,
I'm driving to the nearest rain storm. I don't even care.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Okay, we're driving there immediately.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
That's what we call the Unbelievable Story of the day.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Cult and why I also questioned, is this the day
to do this story? Well?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Why would we not do this story? Can you fill
me in again? What'll we what's that? What's going on?
We're we're doing it live from Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Okay, we are, and we are raising money. We're going
to talk about that a little bit more. We're actually
gonna have one of the doctors join us to talk
about the mental health program here at Children's or Give
to Kids Day. We're going to come back, though, we
have the pop Culture Minute coming up. So much is
going around with this Bill bel Check interview that it's
the pop.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
Culture Minute with Fellon and Cult on one on one
point three.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
K d w B, brought to you by Ova, Lacy
and Lenz. Today we're doing the pop Culture Minute. We're
live from Children's Minnesota and Saint Paul and it's because
May kicks off Mental Health Awareness Month, and uh, you
know they were like, hey, you know, we have this
amazing mental health program here. We love support and it
is Give to Kids Day, so we're raising money to
help them. So if you are thinking about kind of
(05:54):
the things that I think we think about daily, Colt
I both have kids. This program starts for children age
of six. My daughter is going to be six in September.
And you know that's wild to me.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
When I was growing up, like I don't you don't
really talk about emotions too much. So now it is crazy,
like she's starting school and there's even like little things
where the other day she ran up so many of
the parts. She's like, Hi, I'm Rammy, and the kid
was like, good for you, and then ran away. I'm like, ah, dude,
that cuts. And then she's like, why doesn't he like me?
So there's like these little things you're trying to figure
out and you're.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
In and you maybe you look, we're only equipped so
much as parents, right, and that's our professionals come in
to help out.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
We're actually going to talk to a doctor.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
She's the doctor of Believe of the outpatient program.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
You're at Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
So I'm looking forward to talking to her and just
I'm honestly asking me a ton of questions and maybe
don't even feel personal, like I'm asking to prepare for
my life. But I think that hopefully it'll be something
that helps you. And when you're thinking about donating today,
because this is such a great cause, just know that
when you do, you're providing a full range of mental
health services to children and to teens.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
And we have links up.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You can go to our Instagram pages Ballin and cult
if that makes it easier, but it is Children's mn
dot org slash and give to make things a little
easier for you to help out today. Everyone's been talking
about this interview. Did you see the interview with Bill
Belcheck and his girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I've seen a little bit about it, but now.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Okay, So he's basically in his seventies, she's like twenty four.
So that's the biggest issue. People think the age gap
is insane. So he's doing an interview and one thing
they will never talk about is how they met. So people,
of course assume they met while he was married. So
the interviewer asks, how did you guys meet? And she
pops up from behind a table and she's like, we're
not talking about that, and so everyone's like going in,
(07:43):
what is she doing?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Why she had Bill? Are you okay? Blake?
Speaker 8 (07:46):
Twice?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
They're doing that situation well his former players.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I guess they have a podcast. Fun fact, don't listen.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I've seen this before, Edelman, what did you say?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
They said?
Speaker 8 (07:57):
This?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Isn't that weird?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It's being blown out of her poor Usually she's kind
of acting as the PR person. The PR person is
typically like a publicist is going to be there and
they will interfere with a line of questions.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Shouldn't it be like it is weird that you can't
even say where you met though? Right right?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But Nicki Glazer comments on that post and she goes
one hundred percent this she's acting as this publicist. Publicists
do this during interviews. People are out for blood. But
Bill's daughter in law respond to Nicky and says, publicists
act in a professional manner and don't quote unquote storm
Offset delaying an interview.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Seems like the family not a big fan of hers either.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I mean, how could you? But you know clearly what
her prerogative is. I mean, it's like.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
It's a pretty obvious.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
One of those things that I used to like care
about a little bit was the met Gala, And isn't
it interesting? I feel like in the world today, I
do not care about what celebrities that are rich are
wearing to an event that I don't really completely understand
what the event is, to be fair, And they're saying Rihanna,
you know, she's always one of the queens of the
Red carpet. They're saying she's going to premiere a baby
(09:02):
bump for a third baby, which is a wild name
to just say about a woman this day and age, Like,
why are we still doing that?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But maybe she did that the halftime show too, remember that,
that's why she displayed it.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
She did, she did. I saw this yesterday.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I followed him Kardashian on Instagram and I saw it
was just a post her son of his.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
It was up his YouTube channel and.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
It had just his name and and everyone. It was
so funny because you could tell it was something she
would never post. It would not fit. Like he got
a hold of her phone and people were in the
comments going, hey, Saint honey, can you grab mommy's credit card?
And posted next and stuff. So it was confirmed that
he posted this. He's nine years old. He hijacked her
Instagram to promote his new YouTube channel to three hundred
(09:44):
and fifty seven million followers.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Do the Kardashian kids are always doing that stuff? Who's
the one that always goes on Instagram live and outs
all their information?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Used to be Courtney's son? Oh yeah, yeah, maybe he
took a step.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Back from social media.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I didn't like it anymore, but yeah, pretty funny this one.
I'm looking forward to the four season feel good, be
good there. Yeah, the four seasons is now streaming on Netflix.
Tina fey Rotten stars and this says Steve Grell, Will Fortake,
and you might be thinking, oh, the looks. She said,
it's not going to be like their normal wacky, funny
kind of comedy.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
No, but it looks awesome.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
But there will be funny moments and it looks good.
And it's based on an older movie.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
It's like this friend group gets together once every season
for a vacation.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And now the premise and now they're like in their
forties and fifties, right, and it's like they're like, are
we even friends anymore? We don't even do anything.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
We hang out, which is truly the question you have
because they're I mean, people do coming in out of
your life, but having you, like you graduated high school
after a few years, you're like, am I still friends
on my high school?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I don't know? Do you have anything in common anymore?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
That is your pop culture minute on Katie.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
It's one on one point three katiewb. We are Fallent
and Cult.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
We're broadcasting live today from Children's Minnesota and a lot
going on here, but the main thing is we are
trying to do a few things. We're trying to build
awareness about the mental health program they offer here. We're
trying to raise money for that, and I think there
isn't a single person who doesn't. Isn't surrounded by people
who I feel like are becoming more and more comfortable
(11:11):
talking about their mental health, acknowledging they may need to
find resources for their own mental health. I mean, cult,
my both we have gone to therapy over this, and
the program here benefits children. I mean, I was so
surprised when I found out this program can start at
six years old. As a mom who has a daughter
(11:33):
who's about to turn six in September, and we have
doctor Striker joining us today. She is the medical director
of inpatient Psychiatry.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Welcome to our show. Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 9 (11:44):
I have to say this is a highlight I've listened
to Katie's my whole life.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Oh, I'm really excited to be here.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Okay, perfect, Well, we're excited to have you and hear
about all the amazing things that you guys offer here.
So first of all, I mean, can you tell us
a little bit about yourself and about the impatient mental
health program here, because I think you know, when we
think of Children's, we all know of the amazing work
that they do for children and their families and when
it comes to cancer, but I was unaware even myself
(12:11):
of the mental health program that they offer.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
Absolutely, I'm a Minnesotan. I trained in other places, but
was so excited to come back. And when Children's decided
they were going to open an inpatient mental health unit,
I was the first one in line to be here.
I'm really proud of this unit and just to kind
of give people a taste of what inpatient mental health is.
People are staying here, so people go to programming during
(12:36):
the day, they sleep in the beds overnight. Most kids
are here about three to seven days. And really our
goal is to get people better enough that they can
go back to regular life and with all the supports
around them.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
We were talking about this earlier and this is and
this is the you allow six year olds and which
is the youngest anywhere, so parents don't have to travel
to other states or far away cities. They can be
right here in the Twin Cities, close to home. But
that really struck a chord that you have patients in
here as young as six years old.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
It's not very frequent, but yes, every once in a
while we do get a six, seven, eight year old.
And one of the really great things about our program
is that all patients have a private room and there's
another bed in there for parents to.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Fuel to spend the night.
Speaker 9 (13:22):
Okay, so given that we are pediatric hospital, it's kids
and families first, and that's like from the minute they
step in the door.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
We love having parents stay over.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
We get to interact with them more, We get to
really get a sense of how things are going between
the parent and child and do coaching and just help
everybody kind of manage everything better.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
And if you do go to Children's mn dot org
slash gift today and you do donate, How are the
funds Race today helping Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Well, I have to say we love our donors.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
We really try to think about you know, insurance and
reimbursement rates just are going down and down, and that
pays for the basics, right, It pays for the hospital,
stay in the hospital room, the food, seeing the doctor.
But so much of our program is not about that.
It's about how do we help kids become resilient and
functional and so things that donor money has gone to
(14:15):
is an outdoor space for kids to get fresh air
and plan outside. It's gone to yoga and move mindfully programs.
It goes to things like you know, therapy pets and
plant therapy and all of those extras that kids can
take outside of here as well.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, if you're just turning on your radio, we're talking
talking to doctor Striker. She is the medical director of
in patient psychiatry here at Children's Minnesota. And we're gonna
take a little quick quick break and we're gonna come
back and talk more to her and learn a little
bit more about the inpatient the services they offer here
at Children's and also hopefully inspire you to donate some
of your money to help out this amazing one. On
(14:53):
one point three, Katie W b with Fallon and Cult.
We're live from Children's Minnesota today. We're in Saint Paul
and we're lucky enough to doctor Striker joining us. She's
the medical director of impatient Psychiatry. So we were just
talking about some of the services you offer and what
some of the funds we're raising.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Today will go help.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Just at a deeper level as a parent, maybe someone's
listening right now, or maybe a grandma as they want
to pass us along, or however that may be.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
How can kids and families take care of their mental health?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I feel like we a lot of us, we look
at the different things in life, right, I think the
top thing we look at we look at social media
and how that is affecting our lives.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah, I mean I look at that.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I'm like, I'm addicted to my phone, and my husband
and I go back and forth like we're not letting
our daughter get a phone until she's fifteen or sixteen,
and I really hope we stick to that, right, But
there's some direct correlation there. So what can kids and
families do to take care of their mental health? I
love that question.
Speaker 9 (15:49):
We talk so much about medication and therapy are a
very small part of taking care of your mental health.
The number one thing I believe in a structure and routine.
We've all been on those beach vacations where after four
days you start getting antsy. Yes, and it's because we
haven't like set a routine for ourselves. So like kind
of a standard wake up time, a standard bedtime, getting
(16:11):
out and doing something, getting fresh air, vitamin D, all
of those good things for my own kids. I also
have a six year old, and I have some step
kids that are older. Their phones are out of their
room at nine point thirty. I really believe in limited
screen time and sleep is the most important thing. So
we do not have phones, tablets, computers, any TVs in
(16:34):
kids rooms because they have to sleep at night.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
My step son, he's seventeen, he just got I can't
remember what it's called, but it's he ordered the mail
for himself where it limits how long you can be
on your phone.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And because he even acknowledged, he's like, he'll come upstairs.
He's like, I just scrolled on TikTok for ninety straight minutes.
I don't know where the time, Like Dylan, I've done
that too, but he was like, you know, he was
able to look at that and say this is I'm
not being productive, this isn't good for me, absolutely, and
put a.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Block on that.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
But not everyone has that.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
So that's where I love that role of Like phones
are out of the room in the evening.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
And there's so many parents on the unit where it's
like when we say that, it's such a surprise, like
it's never occurred to them that they have the ability
as the parent to say that to their child.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
And I'm like, I do this with my kids.
Speaker 9 (17:24):
I highly encourage people to take charge like they are
the adult and they need to make sure their kids'
mental health is good.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
You know, we're talking about the impatient program here at Children's.
What do you think it is that really differentiates you
from others your program here?
Speaker 9 (17:43):
So we are the only in patient mental health unit
here that is within a pediatric hospital and that doesn't
have adult services, and that really allows us to focus
on kids and kids first and families first. So that's
where we have those private rooms and parents can stay over.
I don't really know if any other places in the
Minnesota for sure. There's very few in the country that
(18:05):
allow parents to spend the night, and I think it's
really important kids don't feel abandoned by their parents.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Parents are part of the treatment.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yeah, it can be scary and it's like going through
that step in that process and you're like I don't
want to do it alone, or like, oh, you know,
so it's great that you have that option.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Well, yeah, and as a parent too, I'm like, I
would be stressed out the whole time. I want to
be with my daughter and see what's going on and
be there for her to support.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
And parents can see our faces, right, they can meet
us and then feel more trusting about what's.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Happening on the unit.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Absolutely, well, this this program is so important and obviously
we are here talking about it because we also want
to raise a little bit of money. It is Kid's
Day where we're broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota, and your
donations make a huge difference. We talked about that a
little while ago, but you can donate right now. We
(18:55):
have links posted on our socials Balon and cult or KATIEWB,
but also it is Children's m n dot org slash
give today. Thank you so much, Thank you so much
forcing me for all. One oh one point three KATIEWB
with Fallon and Cold. We're broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota.
It's Give to Kids Day. We're supporting the mental health
program here and just a heads up, all donations made today,
(19:18):
they're gonna be matched, so you know you're doubling the
impact when you support. I just dropped on. I made
my donation at Children's m n dot org. We're gonna
come back. Cold, of course, has chaos going on in
his neighborhood. Ten out of ten assume that he is
the root cause of that.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I don't know. This is like on the news. This
is like I saw it on TikTok. This is all
over the place. Dude, something is going down.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
And I'm like, if it's an Land on an e bike,
it's you.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I feel like it's a little dramatic. Okay, it's a homeowner,
you think, Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
One oh one point three KATIEWB with Fallon and Cold,
broadcasting live from Children's of Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (19:53):

Speaker 1 (19:56):
We're gonna get an update here soon and uh hopefully
we raised a little money. They are matching donations today,
So when you make a donation, even if it's like
five dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Boom, already ten dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
So we would really really love if you go to
Children's mn dot org slash GiB. We're gonna be talking
to professionals and doctors all throughout the show this afternoon.
It's a little bit different of a show to just
get you some information because that is so important when we're.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Dealing with mental health.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
But a totally different topic right now, Cold is claiming
his neighborhood's being dramatic.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Okay, I saw a TikTok video come up and I
was like, wait a minute, that looks like my alleyway.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
What's happening tiktoko and viral from your alleyway?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, I was like, wait a minute, hold on, so
that I look, here's the situation. And as as a homeowner,
I'm a renter, so I'm not trapped in with my neighbors.
Like there's a way out, right, there's.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
A way out if you own a home. By the way,
you can sell your house and move.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
But yes, go on a little easier though. Okay, here's
a situation. There's a neighbor and their kids played basketball.
This basketball who they playing the driveway. I saw it,
saw their direct neighbor is like, hey, I don't want
to look out my window and see your kids playing basketball.
She tried to get a restraining order on the kids
(21:08):
and the family to keep them away from her window.
But you gotta remember, in Saint Louis Park, you're basically
you reach your hand out, you're touching a house.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Neighbor for sure. Jenny from The Morning Show also lives
in Saint Louis Park. When she jumps ropes her neighbors,
it sounds like she's jumping rope in a living room,
but there's no there's no.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Insulation in these houses in Saint Louis Park.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Forgot about that. My neighbor crazy. My neighbor one time
I was working out on the treadmill in the basement
and he was like, dude, you gotta stop like a
hammer and are doing construction. And I was like, you
mean my feet, my footsteps on a treadmill. Is that
what we're talking about?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I know, of course, not a way to work, and
that he works out, Please move on.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
So what's the deal? So free to thet kids hoop it.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
So they took it to the judge and the judge
is like, yeah, I'm not gonna give it a restraining order.
Children playing basketball in their driveway. So now she's trying
to sue the family for like this distress or like,
I don't know, I don't think it's gonna go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Basketball like one am if so I actually know there is.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
It's just like an eight year old and the ten
year old brothers and they're just like standing there chilling.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
She doesn't like these kids.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah, kid person, And I get it, Like if you listen,
if you're not a kid person, it could be really annoyed.
But at the same time, you can't.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
You got to you gotta go move somewhere with a
little bit more land.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I guess why everybody's like, why aren't kids outside anymore?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I don't know, because they're getting be straining or a
place against someone who do go to play basketball.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
That's Saint Louis Park is so dramatic right now.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, so I don't know, we'll see what plays out.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Well, I don't really want this woman on my bad side,
so I'm a little a little nervous reporting on this.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
She sounds like a woman who can make things happen.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
It is Saint Louis Park's fault though, because my kids
when they try to talk to my neighbor, they'll be like, hey,
he's not talking to me. I'm like, she's just trying
to talk to him for twenty minutes. You got so
he just wants to be in his backyard leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
All right, Well, thank you cult for that.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I thought it was going to be some weird story
about a guy on an e bike and it was
going to be about you.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Let's be honest.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
So all right, we're going to come back. We have
more guests joining us. We are broadcasting live from Children's
Minnesota today.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
It is a big day. It's Give to Kids Day.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So if you are unlike this one woman we referenced
in Saint Louis Park, you do care about kids, you'd
like to help them out and the mental health program
they have here at Children's, you can go to children'smen
dot org, slash give and donations are being matched today.
But we're gonna get you more information about their mental
health program when we come back on kd WB. Today's
(23:26):
trending with Fellan and Cold on one on one point
three kd WB. Okay, we are broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota,
and we're gonna get an update here in a little
bit for how much we've raised. They are matching donations stays.
You can go to Children's MN dot org slash give
and it is Give to Kids Day and we are
trying to help out. We're raising awareness about their mental
(23:48):
health program, raising funds for that.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
So we'll be diving more.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Into that throughout the show. All Right, a little bit
of trending for you.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
They say, if you want to know if someone is lying,
there is one word that immediately is a dead giveaway
someone isn't telling the truth. This is on a recent
diary of a CEO podcast. They said, when someone says never,
it's a sign their line never is an extreme. Extremes
are a dead giveaway all the time. I know you
(24:16):
say to me, you're like, I would never leave you at.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Days ago.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I would never like take my family and move to
a different state and abandon you.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I would never say you're crazy behind your back. That's
not a thing I.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Deserve that one. I can give you a pass on.
Let's see, it's May. Obviously, Mental Health Awareness Month kicks
off today. That's why we're here at Children's but other
things going on in May.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
No mo may.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
So it's a movement that's supposed to help your yard
and the bees. So you're not supposed to know your
month for the entire or the line for the entire month.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yes, I tried this last year and then my neighbor
was like, you know, one of the reasons why I
moved into this neighborhood is because everybody just takes care
of their yard and it's just nice. And I was like, dude,
and I will in jum. I was like, I'm doing
it for the bees.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Dude, Yeah, mind your business. You don't have an hoa.
You're fine. That can't get on you. I do.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Let me tell you my ajoy will probably have a
ruler in my yard measuring murmur. Also, no meat may.
That's another thing. I don't know that I'm going to
make it on that one. No meat may dot organ
or on that.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Oh yeah, no.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Guess what I've eaten today. All I've had today so
far is an almond croissant. So I'm sticking to it.
I'm doing well with no meat may.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
It's kind of a flex.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
You're fasting fasting by eating like an eight hundred calorie to.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Start my day.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
That was like the only thing you had. So I
don't know, I is this So.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Wait a minute, when you've told me the past you
were fasting, is this how you.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Are doing fast? I mean technically a thousand calories.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Any amount of time after you eat is technically fasting.
So I mean you're sitting a non NonStop cycle of
fasting if you think about it that way.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
So you do have an angle on everything. Yeah, would
you say you never not fast?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I mean I could probably gaslate you into thinking that.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Okay while I was using the never situation. Okay, well
that is your trending. We are going to come back.
We're going to talk to hot Let me pull this
up because I want to make sure I get the
information right. We're going to talk to Sarah Jerstad when
we come back.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
She is the.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
PhD LP child psychologist here at Children's Minnesota, and we're
going to learn a lot from her. We're going to
talk about the different topics and aspects of different things
that children are facing.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Here at Children's.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Also ways that we as parents can identify it and.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Help out with that one.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yes, I'm super interested in that.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I'm two younger kids, so.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I'm still raising funds at Children's MNT dot org slash
give one on one point three, KATIEWB. We're fallin and cult.
We're broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota today. We're out in
Saint Paul and we are just surrounded by such impressive people.
And you've actually worked here for almost I was looking
at this almost twenty years, which is crazy.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
I we want to welcome to the show, Sarah.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Jerstad So PhD LP Child Psychologists. You have an amazing
and I'm sure very difficult job.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
I love my job and the challenges are something that
I relish. So I've worked here for as you said,
almost twenty years. I've worked with kids and families and
I still do every day, basically helping with all kinds
of mental health problems, everything from.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Depression and anxiety to just.
Speaker 10 (27:28):
Dealing and coping with chronic illness, to any kinds of
adjustments that happen in life. And you guys know there
can be tons of adjustments when you're a kid and
a teenager.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Have you seen throughout the years parents being more open
to like, Okay, maybe we do need some resources and
there are people who can help us. Have you seen
an uptake within your past like five years out of
those twenty.
Speaker 10 (27:50):
Absolutely, what you're referring to is stigma. When I first
started this career, and even when I think about when
I was a teenager, there was so much stigma with
mental illness, and a lot of times as a young person,
you know, I think adults would just say, just just
handle it, you know, you can just deal with it.
And now there is such a recognition that mental health
is real and that these concerns are something that need
(28:13):
to be dealt with and addressed.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
So a lot of the time you hear, Okay, well,
is it that more people are experiencing it or is
it that we're acknowledging it more?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Now, what do you think it is. I think it's
a combination.
Speaker 10 (28:27):
So to the point of acknowledging it, we have become
more open and aware of these mental health concerns and
we're accepting that this is something many people go through
and need treatment for. But in the past fifteen years,
if you look at the data, mental health concerns with
kids and teenagers has steadily increased. So since about twenty
(28:48):
ten twenty eleven, we've seen those numbers go up, and
there was a specific uptick then during COVID and just
after COVID, which you guys can imagine was a stressful time.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Well, yeah, your eyes lighted at your home, you're not
interacting with people, You're spending a lot more time on
your devices, which we know there are correlations there.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Can you tell us about the mental health crisis that
is happening both nationwide and here in Minnesota.
Speaker 10 (29:12):
Yeah, so the numbers look similar in Minnesota and nationwide,
and some of the things that we've seen, we've seen
increase in depression and anxiety and in suicidal ideation.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
We've seen it across.
Speaker 10 (29:25):
The board, but that uptick is higher in girls, particularly
in the areas of depression.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
So that's a.
Speaker 10 (29:31):
Concern that we have noted and that we pay attention to.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
If you're turning on your radio and you're one who
we're talking to, we're talking to Sarah Juristaid. She's a
child psychologist here at Children's Minnesota, and we're really here
to mostly raise awareness about their mental health program they
have here, but also to raise some money. And I
want to get into We're going to take a quick break,
but I want to come back and I want to
(29:55):
talk to you about things that we can look for,
things that we can do as parents, family support systems
to uh maybe look for signs ways we can help
in addition to the programs you offer.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
So what did that?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
We come back and hopefully get a little donation action
from you. One on one point three katiewb with Fallon
and Colt. We are live from Children to Minnesota. It
is Give to Kids' Day. We are trying to raise
money to help support the mental health program here.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
I really hope that.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
A you're learning a little bit today, whether or not
you have a kid that would use these programs, it's
it's good information. As a cult. My are both parents.
I have a seventeen year old step son. I have
a five year old daughter cult five and three year.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Old yeah five almost four. So yeah, you know, these
are conversations where, especially as they get into school, there's
emotions and you're not there like how mitigate and they're
trying to figure out like, oh why do I feel
this way or whatever. It's a scary step to take,
you know, when you just release them out to the world.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Yes, absolutely so, we have with us. Sarah Jerstad, PhD LP.
She's a child psychologists here and we were just talking
to her, and I said, before we went to break,
when we come back, I want I talk about, like,
as a parent, as a part of the support community
around the kids, what are some things that we can
look for in our kids.
Speaker 10 (31:13):
Yeah, that's such a great question because as parents you
start to wonder what's normal and what's abnormal. A teenager
hanging out in their room all day online, A lot
of parents would say, Okay, I think that's what teenagers do.
But one of the things as a parent you really
want to do is look at how has my team
been behaving and is something different. So if this is
(31:33):
a kid who's been involved in sports or activities or
with friends and all of a sudden you see them
isolating more, it's a signal you know, you know your
kid's the best, and it's a signal that something is
going on. And then it's time to probably talk to them,
not with the pressure of you know, something is really wrong,
but just I'm here to listen and is everything okay?
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Opening up that conversation, and.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I know a lot of kids are going to be
like nothing, you know, nothing's.
Speaker 10 (31:58):
Wrong, standard teenage response.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Yeah, when one thing that and I don't know how
you'll feel about this.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
So this is what my husband has always said.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
He's found he's been able to get have the best
conversations and get the most out of his son in
the car.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
And there's something a strategy for taking boks, Yes.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Something about they don't have to make direct eye contact,
and I don't know they have. They're there, they're isolated together.
It's like that's where the best conversations happen.
Speaker 10 (32:26):
You take the opportunities that you have in front of
you to talk to your kid. You don't want to
make it a big sit down because immediately kids feel pressured.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
They're so sensitive to that.
Speaker 10 (32:35):
But getting in the car or just if you regularly
do things, you regularly take them to somewhere, you regularly
have dinner, that's where open conversation can happen. And as
a parent, it's really healthy to model your own feelings.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
If you've had a hard day.
Speaker 10 (32:50):
Or if you're feeling stressed about something, to openly talk
about it. It really kind of opens up the door
to your teenager or a young child to recognize it's
actually okay to talk about things that are hard or stressful.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I found that as I go when I go to therapy,
like every Tuesday, I'll be like, all right, I gotta go.
I have an appointment for myself and they're like, what
are you talking about? And I'm like, well, it's kind
of like a doctor a little bit, like I'm going
to get a check up. And they're like, so on
your brain. It's your brain, bro, if you have brain surgery.
And I was like, kind of a little bit. I'm
just talking about how I feel and what's going on
in my life. So I can, you know, be the
(33:24):
best version of me.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
What a great example for your kids.
Speaker 10 (33:27):
Yeah, to show them that it's healthy to take care
of your mental health, to talk to someone and to
get support, and for young kids to see that, then
it's just normalizes it as time goes on.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
If you're just turning on your radio, we're talking to
Sarah jer said, she's a child psychologist here at Children's Minnesota.
We are in the final weeks of the school or
my son Steffun just took the act.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
There, the tests happening.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
There's the pressure of finals of graduation. How can students
manage that?
Speaker 10 (33:55):
Yeah, the pressure of school can be really difficult, and
when kids feel anxious sometimes their tenants is to just
put it off right, Maybe I'll just watch some YouTube
or go play a video game, or.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
Just do something else.
Speaker 10 (34:07):
But when that happens for a long time, then a
pile up occurs and there's overwhelming that can actually lead
to pretty significant anxiety. So if parents can kind of
help them check in structure time, you know, getting their
assignments done on more of a regular basis, that is
going to relieve that ultimate anxiety and that pile up
at the end. Another thing that kids face at the
(34:27):
end of the year is maybe, especially if you're a
junior or senior, what am I going to do next?
Speaker 3 (34:31):
What's happening?
Speaker 10 (34:32):
And you know, adults have a little bit of that
perspective to recognize this. You don't have to make a
decision for the rest of your life right now, even though.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
As a kid it feels like it just does.
Speaker 10 (34:45):
And so to kind of say the journey is fun
and awesome and to let your kids know the direction
they go. If it's one way and then another, that's okay.
You know you're with them in that process.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Absolutely well.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
I want to thank you so much for joining us
and talking with us today. We are raising money for
Children's Minnesota, especially for their mental health programs. You know,
today May first kicks off Mental Health Awareness Month. It's
all year round, but you know they give months to
certain things.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
So if you want to make a donation, you can.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
You can go to Salin and colts on to one
oh one point three KDWB broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota,
kicking off Mental Health Awareness Month and trying to raise
some money.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
While we're out here, we're going to have doctor G. G.
Chawla joining.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
She's the vice president chief of General Pediatrics here. I
know we're going to talk to her about all the
type of services they have, how they're making it more
accessible to families. We're going to talk to her in
about five minutes on KDDA. It's one on one point
three KATIEWB with Fallon and Cult broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota.
We're out in Saint Paul today for a very very
(35:50):
important Today it's Give to Kids Day and just a
heads up, we are raising money but also awareness for
their mental health program and donations are being matched today.
No pressure, but I say this would be a pretty
good day to make a donation at Children's MN dot
org slash give I don't know how we lined all
these amazing guests up today if you will to talk
(36:10):
about the program, but we have doctor gg Tala joining
US vice President in chief of General Pediatrics. So a
pretty big role you have here and I want to
dive in immediately. Have you tell people a little bit
about yourself and your role here at Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Well, thanks so much for having me here.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
I'm super excited about it, and you know, my role
really started decades ago. My family's very first home was
on the Children's campus. Wow, and so I grew I'm
part of the fabric, kind of grew up here, did
all my medical school and training, and then was really
fortunate about twenty five years ago to start my career
(36:51):
at Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Well, I know that Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
They obviously we're talking about the mental health program. Maybe
you can lean to that a little bit, kind of
explain what are the services that you provide, the types
of different services.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Yeah, we're really excited about our mental health continuum for
kids here at Children's. You know, prior to really launching
our effort, we did some investigation, right, Yeah, we talked
to our stakeholders internally who take care of kids. We
talked to our community and really understood what it was
(37:27):
that they were looking for, what the gaps were, as
we really honed what our continuum services would be, so
we offer the full spectrum for pediatric care.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
We're really proud of that.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
It starts all the way from integrated behavioral health, which
our therapists who work right in our primary care clinics
embed at the hip with our clinicians to make sure
that even talking about mental health topics is easy and
comfortable for patients and for staff alike, all the way
(37:59):
through to more standalone services for therapy embed into our
specialty clinics, so when you come to see your cancer doctor,
you also have a therapist available for you. Then to
two more advanced care that's really needed for specialized services
like kids with autism, kids who have eating disorders, and
(38:22):
then kids who have more acute mental health concerns or
crises where we need to really devote specific and extra
time focused on their mental health at partial hospitalization or
day treatment programs, and even in patient mental health.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
I love what you said about making people more comfortable
and how they talk about it, because you know, we
talk about it on our show frequently from celebrities who
are you know, maybe they're going into treatment. We talk
about it with our own personal lives, going to therapy
and addressing things, and I find myself being nervous to
say the wrong thing, to to approach it the wrong way.
(39:01):
And so it's so important to help people who are
in the support systems around kids know how to talk
about it and be there for their kids, but also,
like you said, the people actually in the hospital to
be able to address this and approach it properly.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Yeah, you know, I think everybody's got their story.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
You know. Mental health care is whole body care, right
all the way from preventative care to the little things
that if we address early enough, don't escalate, don't become
big or lifelong problems, especially when we're talking about kids.
Preventative care or giving kids the tools and the families
(39:41):
tools really early on can make a whole lifetime of difference.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
If you're turning on your radio and you're like, Okay,
what exactly am I missing?
Speaker 3 (39:48):
What's going on here?
Speaker 1 (39:49):
We're at Children's Minnesota today and we are talking to
doctor gg Tawa, Vice President in chief of General Pediatrics here,
and really the goal is to do all the program
they have, but also so maybe just give you a
little bit of information for your own life, things that
you're dealing with with your kids or how to approach
different things, and know that there are resources right here.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
In our community.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
And your money today, like a donation that you make
is going to be doubled. It helps with others dealing
with this, maybe it will benefit you one day. You
can go to Children's MN dot org slash GiB but
we're gonna come back. We're gonna speak one on one
point three katiewb with Fallon and Cult and joining us
as doctor Gig Taula here from Children's Minnesota. We are
broadcasting live. We're actually the Saint Paul location. For many reasons.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
May kicks off.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Mental health awareness month. That's a big one. It's Give
to Kids Day. So we put this all together, like
let's raise some money while we're out here, raise some
awareness about the mental health program they offer and help
fund this. So I know, Colt, you you've been waiting
to ask some questions and I didn't let you at
all last time.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
So here we go. Yeah, like I don't know, I
didn't have like structure growing up as a child, like
I didn't have like anybody to look to to like, Okay,
this is how you're supposed to like raise a family.
So I'm kind of just in here, winging it with
my five year old and my four soon to be
four year old. And my question is, like, if let's say,
like a question, I have some questions and some concerns,
(41:17):
and I'm like unsure if I'm fit to be able
to help them by my own. What are some of
the unique things you do here at Children's that can
kind of like give me a little bit of confidence
of like, Okay, this is the right step I need
to take. This is where I need to bring up
for these resources.
Speaker 5 (41:34):
Well, that's a great question to start, and you know,
I think it's a lot of the same type of
questions that families have. You know, there is no great
playbook for how to you know, what's the best parenting
advice and what's the greatest technique here and there? Because
it really is unique and individualized. There's books out there about,
(41:55):
you know, how to raise children to do X, Y
and Z, but making it personal is really the most
important part. So for me, the answer to that would
be an established trusted relationship first with a primary care
provider who can bring in integrated behavioral health professionals, which
are therapists that might help guide you as a parent
(42:18):
when you're trying to make the right.
Speaker 4 (42:20):
Choice should I should I do?
Speaker 5 (42:22):
Should I try to, you know, temper this child who's
got really a lot of emotional dysregulation in this way?
Should I do it with a reward system? Or how
should I approach it? It really becomes very useful to
kind of walk it through in a highly unique way
with our integrated behavioral health therapists.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
And do you find it challenging for some parents? Like
there's almost like an ego thing like I'm doing I
should be able to figure out how to do this
on my own. And I just know because I have
two daughters and they're completely different. So it's like, all right,
you're not ones acting this way, the others acting this way,
so I'm perfect, must not be any I'm doing there.
It's totally different personality. True, So is there like a
(43:04):
step where parents kind of have to like kind of
know like it's not what I'm doing, but this is
just like the necessary thing for my kid?
Speaker 5 (43:13):
Yeah, you know, I think, Boy, when when a parent
really feels how challenging it can be. You know, between
different children too, that's like some of the most vulnerable time,
and it just it can eat away at you to
not feel like you're perfect or you don't have the
right answer for one child compared to the other child.
(43:35):
You know, I think the first thing to really make
sure that parents know is that they should not be alone.
They should not ever feel alone in that moment, especially culturally.
You know, we've got a lot of ego built up
on what parenting looks like and making our kids feel
really successful.
Speaker 4 (43:52):
But it really does take a village. I mean, that's
exactly what it is.
Speaker 5 (43:57):
And we've created a little bit of society where we've
siloed ourselves instead of leaning into that community and extended
family support. But think about you know, your healthcare provider,
Children's Minnesota, and other teammates as being part of that village.
Speaker 1 (44:14):
I know, one thing that stops a lot of families
is they don't feel that they have the resources or
the funds. Things are not accessible to every family. How
is it different with Children's Minnesota. How are you making
programs like this more accessible?
Speaker 5 (44:28):
Yeah, you know, I think it's a really good point
healthcare is complicated, Yes it is. Yes, healthcare can even
be a little bit broken, and that's you know. One
example is this concept of integrated behavioral health. So in
the past, we used to identify kids and families who
really needed extra support from a therapy standpoint, and we
(44:51):
would give them a referral right right, and that type
of referral that means you, as a parent who's already
feeling overwhelmed, have to now figure out how to get
a hold of somebody in network and do all of
these things to get your child that next needed step.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
And that all on.
Speaker 5 (45:09):
Its own, you've got at least fifty percent of families
that do not make the step right just because of
the hurdle. That's what integrated behavioral health does, is it
takes away at least.
Speaker 4 (45:21):
One of the hurdles.
Speaker 5 (45:22):
When we're in the room and you're telling me about
how difficult your child is with this type of behavior,
we're going to pull in a therapist right then and there,
make sure that we establish how easy it is to
access right there in the clinic that you've already been
coming to, and start to take care of services there.
And if we can't, then we're going to partner with
(45:44):
the community for where should your child go next, and
make that handoff so that it's easier, it feels safer,
and it's not just up to the parent to do
it exactly.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
I mean you're exactly like you said, the parent is
already feeling a lot. They're also working, they're raising kids.
They it's probably not just the one kid, right, Usually
there are others that they're taking care of, so that
it's a lot on the parents. Amazing that you really
help fill that gap for them and make life just
a little bit easier during a really difficult time.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
We're at Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
We've been talking to doctor Gigi Taula here and I
want to just say that these programs do become more
available to families with more funding that we raise here
today and today they are doubling donations. If you get
a chance, maybe something touches you, maybe this is a
program that's helped you and your family in the past.
(46:37):
This is your time to donate. You can go to
Children's mn dot org slash give Thank you so much,
We appreciate your time.
Speaker 4 (46:44):
Thanks for having me Today.
Speaker 3 (46:46):
It's the Pop Culture Minute with Balan and.
Speaker 4 (46:48):
Cult on one on one point three d w B.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
We're so distracted because Break is the dog here at
Children's Minnesota. He's the best good boys, a little stuffy.
Speaker 3 (47:00):
He's going to the lane in his bed and they sit.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
They're actually going to get another dog soon, specifically for
their mental health programs.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Excited they're going to be best friends. I know, dude.
They need a TV show, kind.
Speaker 3 (47:12):
Of a little bit you live camp, Live Cam.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
Oh, I watch it all the time. Just a couple
of ideas. We're throwing out pressure. Obviously, we are raising
money today and Children's of Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (47:24):
It's that could be a every we get rise gets
a little treaty tre treat.
Speaker 3 (47:30):
Why would you deprive Rigs of a treat It's disrespectful.
Speaker 1 (47:33):
Yeah, but you know it is being matched today, So
you know you're doing good Bye Rigs. You're doing good
by Children's Minnesota, their mental health program.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
It's all good stuff.
Speaker 1 (47:41):
You can donate now at Children's m n dot org
slash give all.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (47:45):
Diving into our pop culture minute, as you know Nick
Cannon twelve kids with six women, which is you know whatever.
I don't it's in on my business, but I will
say that he confirmed he did have his area ensured
for ten million dollars.
Speaker 2 (48:01):
What does that even mean? I'm confused.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Well, some celebrities will do it like it was like
they used to say, like Jennifer Lopez had her butt insirt,
but like you the best asset, so.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
If it goes away, happens to it?
Speaker 1 (48:13):
Yes, because that's where they're making their money or what.
Speaker 3 (48:16):
And he says this is his best best asset.
Speaker 8 (48:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
But the funny part about it, he goes on the
podcast he confirmed he did this, and then one of
his baby mamas reposted and said, ha ha ha ha
funny and he plans on seeing your child. It's been
over a month, but good to know she'll get some
of your money if anything happened.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
Yeah, I mean the issue is like they have to
go into it knowing that he's not going to be
around right well, because at some point when you have twelve,
it's like it's hard.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
To yeah, see you, mommy. I have a hard time
being a great mom. I feel like I'm a one kid.
So yeah, I don't know how Nick Knon's doing it
with well, feels like he probably isn't.
Speaker 3 (48:54):
I don't know who am I to judge?
Speaker 2 (48:57):
Right, dude, Mike drop more.
Speaker 1 (49:00):
Moments come and play for the family of Bill Belichick.
He remember did a fun little interview with CBS, and
by the way, he's said since that he's like upset
with the line of questioning was supposed to be just
about his book, because the interviewer said, Hey, how did
you guys meet to Bill in his seventies and his
girlfriend in her twenties, And she's like, we're not talking
about that.
Speaker 3 (49:19):
She like popped up out of nowhere, and everyone's like,
oh my gosh, where's she come from?
Speaker 1 (49:22):
And CBS like, we actually specifically over and over again
to his publisher, said we would be asking a variety
of questions, and they approved it over and over again.
So we were not out of line with our question
at all. And there was no weird editing. So what
are they even talking about? So they're standing firm and
what they did.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
I think she's genius. I think she did this because
she knew it blew up. I don't even know he
had a book, and so she just said that.
Speaker 1 (49:46):
So well, I guess a couple of his previous players
kind of went on their podcast to defend him and
to sit down and they're like, you know, this is
like normal to do when you have a couple sitting there,
and she was kind of acting as publicists. Even Nicky
Glazer commented on the podcast, posting, one hundred percent this
she's acting as his publicist. Publicists do this during interviews
(50:08):
all the time. People are out for blood. But his
daughter in law commented to her and said, publicists act
in a professional manner and don't storm offset delaying an interview.
Speaker 5 (50:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (50:19):
I mean, there's really no way around it. You gotta
but again, maybe what they want for the publicity.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
Yeah, Well, he's saying she didn't cross any lines, YadA, YadA,
and then everyone else is going bill blink twice.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
Couldn't he just like not have like he does? He
is it necessary for him to even have something like
I don't know, it just feels.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
Are saying have a girlfriend. Well, most humans enjoy companionship.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
Well, he knows why she's there though, right, I mean,
he's gotta think.
Speaker 3 (50:46):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (50:47):
I don't think when older men are rich and they
have very young girlfriends, I don't really think that big
care that that might be the reason they're there. True,
they're still there, you know what? I mean, they're like cool,
So I don't think that that relate fathers. On it all,
they're saying that Rihanna might surprise every one of the
Matt Galler revealing she's pregnant again, which I think is
a crazy thing to say.
Speaker 3 (51:07):
And let's see.
Speaker 1 (51:10):
Lord is dropping her new album, her fourth album, on
June twenty seventh, and they say Chapel Rowan is looking
to enter the acting arena. You're looking for something new
to stream the four season show Tina Fey Road Stars
and with Steve Carell, Will Forte and more. It's not
broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota or Fallon and cult on
(51:30):
one oh one point three k d WB. And everyone
is aware of obviously mental health, right we're talking about it.
We're more comfortable talking to our kids about it, our
family and they offer an amazing program here at children
So that's what we're here for. We're to raise more
awareness about the program, to raise money at children'smn dot
(51:53):
org slash give, and we're talking to the people that
are a part of the program, like Krista Majeris, she
is the child Life supervisor And I want to talk
about now you you work with probably the most popular
member of the staff, which absolutely, yes, hands down. So
what I mean by that, I'll let you explain that, Christa.
So who do you work with and explain a little
(52:15):
bit more about the program you offer which is so amazing.
Speaker 11 (52:17):
Yes, So we started the medical dog program here at
Children's Minnesota just over.
Speaker 4 (52:22):
Two years ago.
Speaker 3 (52:23):
And also it's still pretty new. Yes, yeah, it is so.
Speaker 11 (52:27):
Yes, we have Rigs our first medical doctor on staff.
Speaker 1 (52:32):
It's so hard to resist and we like we immediately
everyone people by the way earlier came in, they didn't
want to meet me and called Doug his Riggs here.
Speaker 3 (52:39):
I was like no, and they left, right, that's true.
Speaker 11 (52:42):
So, yes, Riggs is a four year old Lab golden mix.
He came to us from Cando Canines, who helps train
assistance animals, and he is the first dog in our
medical doctor or medical dog program.
Speaker 3 (52:55):
What does he do? What is what is he? How
does he help patients?
Speaker 11 (52:58):
Riggs is nominal and I say that his biggest gift
is he is a connector. He really helps connect staff
and our patients. Right, So a lot of our patients
that come in, and specifically today we're talking about mental
health and Riggs does interface with you know, patients that
are here for acute mental health services and specifically within
(53:20):
our eating disorders population and program, and you know there
can be some stigma attached to some of those things, right,
And Riggs he comes in no judgment. He is ready
to connect with patients and kids where they're at, and
he helps he helps us every day to do our
jobs more easily as well.
Speaker 2 (53:39):
And you were actually telling us a little bit about
there's a procedure you do with him, including nail polish
if you want to jump into that. Let's talk about that,
right right.
Speaker 11 (53:47):
So when I talk about connections, I'm talking about how
sometimes kids in the healthcare environment can be slow to
warm up, slow to talk, slow to connect with us
or with their peers too, And so Riggs is just
like that avenue for us, like maybe they don't want
to talk to us right now, but they'll talk to him.
Speaker 3 (54:04):
Yeah, right, exactly.
Speaker 11 (54:05):
And maybe also he helps with those social connections amongst
other kids too. So we were talking earlier about how
just last week there were four patients in our eating
disorders program and they were all had each a paw
and we're painting his his nails all different colors, and
yet they were interacting with each other too and connecting together,
(54:26):
and it was just a really fun moment. And I
think what's great about the program is it it can
look on the outside like a lot of fluff and cuddles, right,
but it's it's real work, and it's work that is
based in what their medical goals and their treatment plan is.
Speaker 1 (54:42):
Absolutely, we're at Children's Minnesota talking about their mental health
program and one of the big things is part of
the you said it was called the medical Dog program,
and we're talking about Rigs a little bit. We're gonna
come back, We're gonna talk to Christa a little bit
more about the program.
Speaker 3 (54:58):
And obviously we've posted photos and videos and Rigs.
Speaker 1 (55:01):
You can see those on social media Fallon and Cult
also one oh one three KATWB on Instagram. We also
have linked one oh one point three katiewb.
Speaker 3 (55:11):
With Fallon and Cult. And we have the Child.
Speaker 1 (55:14):
Life Supervisor here at Children's Minnesota joining us, Krista Majeris.
Speaker 3 (55:18):
So we were talking about Rigs now. Riggs is a.
Speaker 1 (55:21):
Very important staff member here at Children's part of the
Medical Dog program. First of all, we gotta give Riggs
a shout out. If you want to give him a
follow on Instagram. What's his handle? Riggs Underscore MD.
Speaker 4 (55:34):
A professional.
Speaker 3 (55:36):
Yes, please follow, Please do.
Speaker 1 (55:38):
If you were looking for some wholesome content in the
world of social media, this is your answer.
Speaker 2 (55:42):
You just have like one of those like play doctor
kids and if we've ran through some simulations like getting
a shot and you have like a needle in his
and you're just chilling, which.
Speaker 1 (55:51):
Is another tool you use to help kids here in
the mental health program and throughout, like using Riggs as
the example.
Speaker 11 (55:58):
Absolutely a lot of what he does is helping kids
learn about the hospital environment and normalizing it for them,
because that's the role of a childlife specialist and our
medical Dog team is to help kids understand their healthcare
experience and make it a little less scary. So if
that means we can work with them through play, through art,
through music, through Rigs a their dog, those are the
(56:20):
avenues that we use, and we use the language of
kids pay as well, and so using some of those
medical play tools with rigs and patients just helps things
to be a little less scary.
Speaker 1 (56:33):
Another amazing thing about children's here. We're here at the
Saint Paul location, which is like your main area is
child life and maybe you can explain what that is
a little bit for you know, patients who come here
for treatment. Absolutely, so our childlife, music therapy, a healing
arts program here is part of the wrap around services
(56:54):
that all patients receive. And the amazing thing is that
it never shows up on their bill.
Speaker 6 (57:00):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (57:00):
And so that's why.
Speaker 11 (57:01):
We're raising money today is for those services so they're
accessible for every patient that comes and so that we
can help promote their child development even while they're here
in the hospital, because no kid or family plans to
be ill or injured, and so we really want to
continue them on that correct path of development while they're
(57:21):
here so that they can still be kids and understand
the experience that they're having too, So teaching them about
the hospital in ways that they can understand whether they're
two or twelve or eighteen. And so we use a
lot of different modalities, like I said, play music, art,
all of the above.
Speaker 2 (57:39):
That's going to be a really cool experience just seeing
like a kid come in like a little nervous and
then like by the time they leave, you're like, oh,
they're loving it. They're interested, they're aware of everything that's
going on and.
Speaker 11 (57:50):
It's about building those coping skills, and that is really
what mental health is about, too, is building those coping
skills so that they can master some of those things
that they're gonna come up against in life. Right, whether
it's a healthcare experience or experience outside of the hospital,
that they have those coping skills built in them that
we help them develop here they can take forward into
(58:13):
future medical experiences or life experiences.
Speaker 1 (58:16):
It's amazing, and you mentioned I mean, the reason we
can keep this off the bill is because of the
funds that we're raising today and they're being matched. So
we would be so so so appreciative you could help
out these amazing programs a Children's Minnesota. You go to
Children's MN dot org slash give. Also, I know this
a lot of companies also match your donation, so I
(58:37):
guess you can double it up in that way as well,
So check that out.
Speaker 3 (58:41):
I want to thank you so much. Christmas one on one.
Speaker 1 (58:44):
Point three KATIEWB with Balin and Cold we are broadcasting
live from Children's Minnesota. Are actually at the same Fall
location and it's a really big days Give to Kids
to day and we're hoping to, like you know, get
you some information on the health program they offer here.
We're gonna be talking to experts throughout the show at
(59:04):
learning a lot ourselves and also raising money for the program.
Speaker 3 (59:08):
Or need you more details? We come back on one
on one point three kt W what normal or nope?
Speaker 2 (59:14):
On one point three KTWB normal or nope.
Speaker 1 (59:17):
I know someone who when they make a cold drink
with ice cubes, they put the ice in first, where
I do the drink first and then ice cubes.
Speaker 3 (59:26):
Normal or dope?
Speaker 2 (59:28):
I feel, Wait, do you think which one you put
the ice in first? Because then you pour the water
or whatever you're poorn in and then you know, like
how much the laquld is supposed because then sometimes you
throw the ice in it'say.
Speaker 3 (59:38):
Oh lashes, miscalculated splashes.
Speaker 1 (59:40):
So I would say I think the same thing, ice
cubes first, then the drink.
Speaker 3 (59:45):
But a lot of the time I filled the cup.
Speaker 1 (59:47):
Of water, go over to the ice tray and then
PLoP it in. It's it's rebellious.
Speaker 2 (59:51):
Well that's a flax hav and an ice tray. That's
I don't have any ice in my house at all.
Actually that's all ambient, dude.
Speaker 3 (59:57):
I couldn't live in a world without ice, it's just.
Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
All luke warms. Basically, just like.
Speaker 3 (01:00:02):
It's so European of you, it is so European normal.
Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Or no washing bigger dishes in the bathtub because your
kitchen is too small. I don't mean like pots and fans,
but like cake and cupcake carriers and other huge kitchen items.
Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
So you take into the bathtub and then you actually, no,
that's you're a psycho.
Speaker 6 (01:00:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Also, what are you doing with food? I wonder there
you just like clogging your bathtub with cupcake?
Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
How are you in?
Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
Is your apartment? I'm not trying to judge you, but
I'm worried.
Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
If you're in like an RV camper, that makes sense,
But you know, how small is your.
Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
Doesn't make sense. I still don't see a world where
I take my.
Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Well if your sink is like super small, like get it,
but like where.
Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
My mom uses her dishwasher for extra storage and just
hand washes her dishes.
Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
But that feels like you could go anywhere else.
Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
Tell that storage because she has an apartment, doesn't have
a junk, she doesn't have a lot of storage. She's
living in a small apart in your garage she has.
Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
And I've I've acted. She made a flaw. She doesn't
get to put anything else in my storage or my garage.
Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
I'm not kidding.
Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
She's so hot and heavy on Facebook marketplace like I
got this for free.
Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
I'm like, how is that my problem? I don't want
that my garage.
Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Listen, your mom can bring she could, she can use
my storage and by storage I mean just my basement.
So that's what it is. So yeah, big mistake, dude.
Death can come over anytime.
Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
Normal or no.
Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
Peeling a carrot and not wanting to dirty another utensil,
so you just bite off the ends. You know you
would You would normally chop off the end of a carrot.
Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Yeah, I guess you could be able with a strawberry too, right,
I don't ever even thought about that if you're cutting
up for your kid.
Speaker 7 (01:01:37):
Yeah, I can't subscribe to that.
Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
At some point in life, your child would like recall
you know there, they would remember.
Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
Dad always just bit the top of my strawberry off,
and they would I don't think they would like that memory.
Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
I had to stop doing it with grapes because I
would like bite a grape in half in hand, and
they recently were like, yeah, dude, I don't want.
Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
To I don't want to me the line somewhere yet.
Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
All right, So if you ever have a normal or nope,
you can text us five three ninety two one KATIEWB
one broadcasting live from Children's Today's Trending with Felon and
Cold on one one. Okay, we are broadcasting live from
Children's Minnesota, and we're gonna get an update here in
a little bit for how much we've raised. Uh, they
(01:02:23):
are matching donation stays. You can go to Children's men
dot org, slash give and it is Give to Kids
Day and we're trying to help out. We're raising awareness
about their mental health program, raising funds for that. So
we'll be diving more into that throughout the show. All Right,
a little bit of trending for you.
Speaker 8 (01:02:40):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
They say, if you want to know if someone is lying,
there is one word that immediately is a dead giveaway
someone isn't telling the truth.
Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
This is on a recent diary of a CEO podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
They said, when someone says never, it's a sign they're lying.
Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
Never is an extreme. Extremes are a dead giveaway.
Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
All the time.
Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
I know you say to me, you're like, I would
never leave.
Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
You at.
Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Ago.
Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
I would never like take my family and move to
a different state and abandon you.
Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
I would never say you're crazy behind your back.
Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
That's not a thing I deserve that one. I can
give you a pass on. Let's see, it's May. Obviously,
mental Health Awareness Month kicks off today. That's why we're
here at Children's. But other things going on in May.
Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
No mo May.
Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
So it's a movement that's supposed to help your yard
and the bees.
Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
So you're not supposed to know your month for the
entire or the lawn for the entire month.
Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
Yes see. I tried this last year and then my
neighbor was like, you know, one of the reasons why
I moved into this neighborhood is because everybody just takes
care of their yard and it's just nice.
Speaker 3 (01:03:41):
And I was like, dude, and I will in Jim.
Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
I was like, I'm doing it for the bees.
Speaker 3 (01:03:43):
Dude, Yeah, mind your business. You don't have an ho a.
You're fine. They can't get on you.
Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
I do.
Speaker 3 (01:03:48):
Let me tell you, my ajoy will probably have a
ruler in my yard.
Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Neighboring.
Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
Also, no meat May.
Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
That's another thing I don't know that I'm going to
make it on that one no meat may dot organ.
Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
On that.
Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
Oh yeah, no, guess what I've eaten today. All I've
had today so far is an almond croissant, So I'm
sticking to it. I'm doing well with no meat may.
Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
It's kind of a flex.
Speaker 7 (01:04:10):
You're fasting, fasting by eating an eight hundred calorie criissant
to start my day.
Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
That was like the only thing you had, So I
don't know. I is this?
Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
So wait a minute, when you've told me the past
you were fasting, is this how you were doing fast
I mean technically a thousand calories.
Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
Any amount of time after you eat is technically fasting.
So I mean you're sitting a non NonStop cycle of
fasting if you think about it that way.
Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
So you do have an angle on everything. Yeah, would
you say you never not fast?
Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
I mean I could probably gaslate you in the thinking that.
Speaker 1 (01:04:44):

point three KDWB Withthallon and Colt. We've got the where
we've hit over ten thousand.
Speaker 3 (01:05:56):
Dollars raised today. My Children's going to Settle.
Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
We're so excited we're here and we've been here all afternoon.
Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
A little bit different of a show.
Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
We mix in some normal stuff, but it's all to
raise awareness for the mental health program at Children's and
also to raise some money, as you heard in their
doubling donations today. So when you make a donation, it's
really really exciting because it doubles up and helps great programs,
which like when we're going to talk about right now,
we have a guest joining us, Natasha Stark. She is
(01:06:24):
a music therapist here and Natasha, I feel like everyone
talks about this all the time, like how special music
is to every person. I mean, we see videos all
the time of people hearing a song and it will
it's almost like it takes one back to a different
place and time. It truly is like the I think,
(01:06:46):
the biggest connector that we as humans have. So I
want to talk a little bit about the work you
do here at Children's with music therapy.
Speaker 6 (01:06:56):
Yeah, I mean you're right on, and music is the
greatest connector, right and I get to see that every
single day in my job.
Speaker 8 (01:07:02):
So I'm one of the music therapists.
Speaker 6 (01:07:04):
You're at Children's Minnesota, and I specifically work a lot
with our mental health patients. So I'm down in our
partial hospitalization program in Lakeville, and then I also spend
time here at the Saint Paul Hospital.
Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
So if you're a patient at Childrize, what does that
look like? When do you know you're going to work
with someone and what is that relationship like?
Speaker 6 (01:07:24):
So it's a little different depending on if you're in
the impatient or outpatient setting. So at our partial hospitalization program,
I do groups four times a week down in Lakeville,
and we also have music therapy services in Roseville as well.
So those groups look like creating music, talking about music,
listening to music, all with the goal of focusing on
(01:07:45):
our mental health.
Speaker 8 (01:07:47):
And it could look like.
Speaker 6 (01:07:49):
An instrument lesson, but the goal isn't necessarily to actually
learn the instrument. The goal is self esteem, self expression,
coping skills, all those things that go into mental health treatment.
Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
Right, isn't an interesting you know we were talking about
which another another of your coworkers, there's amazing Rigs.
Speaker 8 (01:08:08):
Yes, my favorite coworker.
Speaker 1 (01:08:10):
It's the things that you don't even realize that this
is something that is helping this. It just seems like
I'm interacting with an amazing dog today. I am listening
to music that I love today, and you don't realize
the way that that is helping you or your teen
with mental health.
Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
It's crazy.
Speaker 8 (01:08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:08:30):
Absolutely. It might look like any other musical interaction. It
might look like a jam session, it might look like karaoke.
But because I'm a board certified music therapist, I have
the skills to design these musical interventions in a way
that meets those mental health goals.
Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
And what's it like? What does it feel like when
you see, like, let's say a kid comes in for
the first time, and then you go through this maybe
it's like a couple weeks or whatever, and then you
really see them start to build the confidence. What is
that feeling like for you?
Speaker 8 (01:08:56):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:08:56):
I mean, it's the best feeling in the world. It's
absolutely the reason why do what I do well.
Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
We are raising money today for Children's Minnesota. And if
you're like, who are you talking to? We were just
talking to Natasha Stark. She is a music therapist here
at Children's and she rushed over here from the Minneapolis
campus because we're at Saint Paul today to talk about
this because it's so important to her and to so
many our mental health and our kids mental health. T.
One oh one point three katiewb with Fallon and Cole.
(01:09:23):
We're talking to Natasha Stark because we are live at
Children's Minnesota and we are talking about their mental health
program they offer here, which Cole and I have learned
a lot today also from various people who have joined us.
And Natasha your specialty. You are the music one of
the music therapists here. We're raising money right now. Donations
(01:09:45):
are being doubled, which is fantastic. What does the money
do to help programs like yours here at Children's.
Speaker 6 (01:09:54):
So music therapy, child life. These are services that don't
show up in a patient's bill. They are not charged
to insurance and a patient will never be charged to
receive them. And that means that donations are so important
in order to keep our work going. And know that
if you are giving money to Children's Minnesota today, you
are supporting a holistic version of health, not just the
(01:10:17):
medical treatment, not just standard therapy, not just medications for
a child or teen, but music are expression, right, those
things that really make up a full person's health it's.
Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
Talking to so many different people at Children's today. Really,
you really do see the teamwork that goes into it
and how they look at each person as an individual
and figure out what's best for them. So maybe it
is coming to see you, but maybe it's going to
see this person. Maybe it's doing this, and it's really
so personalized in the way you commit to help families
because the music therapy isn't just for the individual, like
(01:10:52):
this is gonna be like a whole family thing, right.
Speaker 6 (01:10:55):
Absolutely, yeah, Family centered care is really important to all
of the music therapists here. Involving families in all the
musical interactions have is really important.
Speaker 3 (01:11:04):
And you have some favorite artists yourself, right, Oh I do?
Speaker 6 (01:11:08):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Oh yes, yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:11:11):
Did somebody tell you that I'm a swiftie?
Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
You did?
Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
We guarantee that Swifty like some swifty action is going
to be involved in some of these music there.
Speaker 3 (01:11:20):
I heard maybe Scissa as well.
Speaker 6 (01:11:22):
Oh yeah, I do love Sizza, so I yeah, personally
my personal preferences.
Speaker 8 (01:11:27):
I love Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6 (01:11:29):
But the wonderful thing about doing music therapy is that
I'm rarely to never choosing the music for these patients.
They are telling me what kind of music they like,
and then I'm figuring out how to use that music
to help them.
Speaker 2 (01:11:41):
So you didn't like coming to this career and make
everybody a little swifty like that, right.
Speaker 6 (01:11:45):
Yeah, No, I don't think that would be very ethical
in my role.
Speaker 8 (01:11:49):
I just don't bring it up unless they bring it up.
I got focus on the patient, focus on the client.
Speaker 6 (01:11:56):
If the client wants Kendrick Lamar, We're gonna do Kendrick Lamar.
I can make any music therapeutic.
Speaker 8 (01:12:01):
Oh that's amazing.
Speaker 3 (01:12:02):
I love to hear that.
Speaker 2 (01:12:02):
Now that that's been one of the most eye opening
things since we've been here today is just when you
think about like mental health can be like so heavy
and negative, but everything that Children's here offers is just
like so positive and so eye opening and it really
helps like take that make the step into like bettering
yourself just so easy with all the resources you have.
Speaker 8 (01:12:24):
Yeah. Absolutely, I mean that's the goal.
Speaker 3 (01:12:26):
Right, absolutely. And you can help that.
Speaker 1 (01:12:29):
You can help the patience, You can help families by
donating to the amazing programs. They have their mental health
program here at Children's again, it is Give to Kids Day.
May kicked off mental health awareness months so that's what
we're doing that today.

Speaker 3 (01:13:26):
It's katiewb
One on one point three Katie w B where Fallon
and Colt. You know, our show is going to be
a little bit different today, but I think it's really
really great. Colt and I are very open about mental health.
And you may not be aware of this, but May
kicks off mental health Awareness Month.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
Yes it does. So we're here to uh to learn,
to share for sure.
Speaker 1 (00:22):
And we're if you're like, where are you? We're broadcasting
live from Children's Minnesota. We're at their Saint Paul location,
and this is this is new to me. I think
you know, we've done morning show live broadcasts for Children's.
We've talked about the amazing work they do with families
and with children with cancer, but I was unaware of
the mental health program they offer children's and so this
(00:45):
has been educational for me and I'm sure I'm gonna
learn even more throughout the days. We have experts, doctors
and various people join us on the show.
Speaker 2 (00:53):
And I have two little kiddo's and it's it's going
to know that there is there's resources out there in
case you know something's happening like anxiety, depression, you know,
different conditions, there is a place to go and.
Speaker 1 (01:04):
That is here, yeah, and we it is also give
to Kids Day, so we are hoping you will make
a donation as we hang out here. We're gonna do,
like you know, some normal show things in the mix obviously,
but the website you'll go to is Children's mn dot
org slash gift. I'm gonna kick it off myself here
in a minute by making a donation.
Speaker 2 (01:22):
Huge one too. You were telling me, I was you
show many amount? I was like, dude, really, how do
you have three million?
Speaker 1 (01:27):
Huge is subjective huges to everyone is a little bit different,
but the mental health care provided here is tailored to
each child's unique needs and concerns. So they just really
do have the full range of mental health care for
kids and teens, which we'll be diving into more throughout
the show. But like I said, we also will be
mixing in some of the unhinged things that we do,
(01:47):
and so that's gonna happen when we come back. I
have an unbelievable story of the day that the headline alone.
I was like, well, I don't even know if I
can read this, but we're gonna.
Speaker 2 (01:56):
We're gonna do it. Okay, if you're in the middle
of a road range incident. This might you might this
thing might be far.
Speaker 3 (02:02):
It's too far.
Speaker 2 (02:03):
I was gonna say it go to no. If you're
doing this, don't recommend. Okay, So we have that and
a thousand dollars in less than ten minutes. Own if
you win, you could donate a little bit.
Speaker 3 (02:12):
Awesome, thank you. It's the unbelievable story of the day.
On one oh one.
Speaker 1 (02:18):
Point three kd w ME we're broadcasting live from Children's
We're at the same publication actually today and we are
raising money for Give to Kids Day. We're supporting the
mental health program they offer here at Children's Minnesota. We
got a little update where it's sixty seven hundred dollars,
so we definitely need your help. That's a great start.
(02:39):
I mean we we really want to raise a ton
of money. So if you get a chance, maybe you're
on your phone right now, you're on a work computer,
you can go to Children's MN dot org slash give now.
Transitioning from that into this, I literally send the gold.
I go maybe should we even do this story?
Speaker 3 (02:55):
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (02:56):
I think it's too good to pass up.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Really an unbelievable story of the day. And I was
hot in my tracks when I read the headline of
this one. So we've all been a part of like
a road rage situation, right.
Speaker 2 (03:05):
Yeah, put you more than others. We know that.
Speaker 4 (03:07):
I mean, you're gonna come for me on that.
Speaker 3 (03:09):
I just I would say I'm an aggressive driver, and
that's fine. That's fine.
Speaker 1 (03:13):
So I don't even know exactly what happened in this situation,
just the fact that there was road rage happening and
a woman. There's a clip of this on TMC if
you like really need to see it, let me tell
you what I did not. I did not watch the video.
I'm sure Colts is quickly fizzling right now.
Speaker 5 (03:26):
Though.
Speaker 3 (03:26):
It was like she she gets out of her car,
she runs around with the other car.
Speaker 1 (03:34):
She gets, she gets by the hood, she drives her pants,
and she goes to the bathroom the car.
Speaker 3 (03:41):
Like that's not it. That's not a quick process.
Speaker 1 (03:43):
That's usually I mean, is the person just sitting there
and watching this whole like they're probably in disputs, like
I can't believe this is happening in my car right now?
Speaker 2 (03:49):
You can make it happen in a pinch, like if
you had to, if you ran out the word usage. Okay,
now here's the thing. What was it like?
Speaker 6 (03:55):
Like?
Speaker 2 (03:56):
So she runs out, she gets on and then like
a right, yeah, that's solid. She had a locked and load.
Speaker 1 (04:00):
That's oh they're now they've dubbed this woman. I guess
this must be the location Delco. They've dubbed her on
social media the Delco pooper.
Speaker 2 (04:08):
She should have went with Delco downpur But it's good,
it's all right.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
You really should be hired.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
Did she's just running around? Do you get arrested for that?
Or do you get you get a pass because it's awesome,
or like, well.
Speaker 3 (04:19):
I can tell you this.
Speaker 1 (04:19):
She seemed giddy as she walked away, and the victim
just like honks at her while she's doing it. She's like,
oh my god, what's happening. Oh my gosh, she's really happening.
So she starts honking like to try to make her stop,
and she.
Speaker 3 (04:31):
Doesn't at all.
Speaker 2 (04:31):
So now you're in the other car, right, yeah, wild
if you have a dash can that's.
Speaker 3 (04:36):
Crazy, that is I don't want Do you.
Speaker 2 (04:39):
Go right to the car wash or do you just
go home?
Speaker 1 (04:42):
No, you call the police, you take photos, you sit
in disbelief, you call friends you FaceTime and you're like, well,
I don't is this really what happens?
Speaker 2 (04:50):
I'm going to a car wash. If I can't find one,
I'm driving to the nearest rain storm. I don't even care.
Speaker 3 (04:55):
Okay, we're driving there immediately.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 3 (04:58):
That's what we call the Unbelievable Story of the day.
Speaker 1 (05:00):
Cult and why I also questioned, is this the day
to do this story? Well?
Speaker 2 (05:03):
Why would we not do this story? Can you fill
me in again? What'll we what's that? What's going on?
We're we're doing it live from Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (05:09):
Okay, we are, and we are raising money. We're going
to talk about that a little bit more. We're actually
gonna have one of the doctors join us to talk
about the mental health program here at Children's or Give
to Kids Day. We're going to come back, though, we
have the pop Culture Minute coming up. So much is
going around with this Bill bel Check interview that it's
the pop.
Speaker 7 (05:27):
Culture Minute with Fellon and Cult on one on one
point three.
Speaker 1 (05:31):
K d w B, brought to you by Ova, Lacy
and Lenz. Today we're doing the pop Culture Minute. We're
live from Children's Minnesota and Saint Paul and it's because
May kicks off Mental Health Awareness Month, and uh, you
know they were like, hey, you know, we have this
amazing mental health program here. We love support and it
is Give to Kids Day, so we're raising money to
help them. So if you are thinking about kind of
(05:54):
the things that I think we think about daily, Colt
I both have kids. This program starts for children age
of six. My daughter is going to be six in September.
And you know that's wild to me.
Speaker 2 (06:06):
When I was growing up, like I don't you don't
really talk about emotions too much. So now it is crazy,
like she's starting school and there's even like little things
where the other day she ran up so many of
the parts. She's like, Hi, I'm Rammy, and the kid
was like, good for you, and then ran away. I'm like, ah, dude,
that cuts. And then she's like, why doesn't he like me?
So there's like these little things you're trying to figure
out and you're.
Speaker 1 (06:24):
In and you maybe you look, we're only equipped so
much as parents, right, and that's our professionals come in
to help out.
Speaker 3 (06:31):
We're actually going to talk to a doctor.
Speaker 1 (06:34):
She's the doctor of Believe of the outpatient program.
Speaker 3 (06:38):
You're at Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (06:39):
So I'm looking forward to talking to her and just
I'm honestly asking me a ton of questions and maybe
don't even feel personal, like I'm asking to prepare for
my life. But I think that hopefully it'll be something
that helps you. And when you're thinking about donating today,
because this is such a great cause, just know that
when you do, you're providing a full range of mental
health services to children and to teens.
Speaker 3 (07:01):
And we have links up.
Speaker 1 (07:03):
You can go to our Instagram pages Ballin and cult
if that makes it easier, but it is Children's mn
dot org slash and give to make things a little
easier for you to help out today. Everyone's been talking
about this interview. Did you see the interview with Bill
Belcheck and his girlfriend.
Speaker 2 (07:20):
I've seen a little bit about it, but now.
Speaker 1 (07:21):
Okay, So he's basically in his seventies, she's like twenty four.
So that's the biggest issue. People think the age gap
is insane. So he's doing an interview and one thing
they will never talk about is how they met. So people,
of course assume they met while he was married. So
the interviewer asks, how did you guys meet? And she
pops up from behind a table and she's like, we're
not talking about that, and so everyone's like going in,
(07:43):
what is she doing?
Speaker 3 (07:43):
Why she had Bill? Are you okay? Blake?
Speaker 8 (07:46):
Twice?
Speaker 1 (07:47):
They're doing that situation well his former players.
Speaker 3 (07:52):
I guess they have a podcast. Fun fact, don't listen.
Speaker 2 (07:55):
I've seen this before, Edelman, what did you say?
Speaker 3 (07:57):
They said?
Speaker 8 (07:57):
This?
Speaker 3 (07:58):
Isn't that weird?
Speaker 1 (07:58):
It's being blown out of her poor Usually she's kind
of acting as the PR person. The PR person is
typically like a publicist is going to be there and
they will interfere with a line of questions.
Speaker 2 (08:08):
Shouldn't it be like it is weird that you can't
even say where you met though? Right right?
Speaker 1 (08:11):
But Nicki Glazer comments on that post and she goes
one hundred percent this she's acting as this publicist. Publicists
do this during interviews. People are out for blood. But
Bill's daughter in law respond to Nicky and says, publicists
act in a professional manner and don't quote unquote storm
Offset delaying an interview.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
Seems like the family not a big fan of hers either.
Speaker 2 (08:35):
I mean, how could you? But you know clearly what
her prerogative is. I mean, it's like.
Speaker 3 (08:39):
It's a pretty obvious.
Speaker 1 (08:41):
One of those things that I used to like care
about a little bit was the met Gala, And isn't
it interesting? I feel like in the world today, I
do not care about what celebrities that are rich are
wearing to an event that I don't really completely understand
what the event is, to be fair, And they're saying Rihanna,
you know, she's always one of the queens of the
Red carpet. They're saying she's going to premiere a baby
(09:02):
bump for a third baby, which is a wild name
to just say about a woman this day and age, Like,
why are we still doing that?
Speaker 2 (09:08):
But maybe she did that the halftime show too, remember that,
that's why she displayed it.
Speaker 3 (09:12):
She did, she did. I saw this yesterday.
Speaker 1 (09:15):
I followed him Kardashian on Instagram and I saw it
was just a post her son of his.
Speaker 3 (09:20):
It was up his YouTube channel and.
Speaker 1 (09:22):
It had just his name and and everyone. It was
so funny because you could tell it was something she
would never post. It would not fit. Like he got
a hold of her phone and people were in the
comments going, hey, Saint honey, can you grab mommy's credit card?
And posted next and stuff. So it was confirmed that
he posted this. He's nine years old. He hijacked her
Instagram to promote his new YouTube channel to three hundred
(09:44):
and fifty seven million followers.
Speaker 2 (09:47):
Do the Kardashian kids are always doing that stuff? Who's
the one that always goes on Instagram live and outs
all their information?
Speaker 3 (09:52):
Used to be Courtney's son? Oh yeah, yeah, maybe he
took a step.
Speaker 8 (09:57):
Back from social media.
Speaker 1 (09:58):
I didn't like it anymore, but yeah, pretty funny this one.
I'm looking forward to the four season feel good, be
good there. Yeah, the four seasons is now streaming on Netflix.
Tina fey Rotten stars and this says Steve Grell, Will Fortake,
and you might be thinking, oh, the looks. She said,
it's not going to be like their normal wacky, funny
kind of comedy.
Speaker 2 (10:15):
No, but it looks awesome.
Speaker 3 (10:16):
But there will be funny moments and it looks good.
And it's based on an older movie.
Speaker 1 (10:19):
It's like this friend group gets together once every season
for a vacation.
Speaker 2 (10:24):
And now the premise and now they're like in their
forties and fifties, right, and it's like they're like, are
we even friends anymore? We don't even do anything.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
We hang out, which is truly the question you have
because they're I mean, people do coming in out of
your life, but having you, like you graduated high school
after a few years, you're like, am I still friends
on my high school?
Speaker 3 (10:40):
I don't know? Do you have anything in common anymore?
Speaker 1 (10:42):
That is your pop culture minute on Katie.
Speaker 3 (10:46):
It's one on one point three katiewb. We are Fallent
and Cult.
Speaker 1 (10:49):
We're broadcasting live today from Children's Minnesota and a lot
going on here, but the main thing is we are
trying to do a few things. We're trying to build
awareness about the mental health program they offer here. We're
trying to raise money for that, and I think there
isn't a single person who doesn't. Isn't surrounded by people
who I feel like are becoming more and more comfortable
(11:11):
talking about their mental health, acknowledging they may need to
find resources for their own mental health. I mean, cult,
my both we have gone to therapy over this, and
the program here benefits children. I mean, I was so
surprised when I found out this program can start at
six years old. As a mom who has a daughter
(11:33):
who's about to turn six in September, and we have
doctor Striker joining us today. She is the medical director
of inpatient Psychiatry.
Speaker 3 (11:41):
Welcome to our show. Thank you so much for having me.
Speaker 9 (11:44):
I have to say this is a highlight I've listened
to Katie's my whole life.
Speaker 3 (11:47):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (11:47):
Oh, I'm really excited to be here.
Speaker 1 (11:49):
Okay, perfect, Well, we're excited to have you and hear
about all the amazing things that you guys offer here.
So first of all, I mean, can you tell us
a little bit about yourself and about the impatient mental
health program here, because I think you know, when we
think of Children's, we all know of the amazing work
that they do for children and their families and when
it comes to cancer, but I was unaware even myself
(12:11):
of the mental health program that they offer.
Speaker 9 (12:14):
Absolutely, I'm a Minnesotan. I trained in other places, but
was so excited to come back. And when Children's decided
they were going to open an inpatient mental health unit,
I was the first one in line to be here.
I'm really proud of this unit and just to kind
of give people a taste of what inpatient mental health is.
People are staying here, so people go to programming during
(12:36):
the day, they sleep in the beds overnight. Most kids
are here about three to seven days. And really our
goal is to get people better enough that they can
go back to regular life and with all the supports
around them.
Speaker 1 (12:48):
We were talking about this earlier and this is and
this is the you allow six year olds and which
is the youngest anywhere, so parents don't have to travel
to other states or far away cities. They can be
right here in the Twin Cities, close to home. But
that really struck a chord that you have patients in
here as young as six years old.
Speaker 9 (13:09):
It's not very frequent, but yes, every once in a
while we do get a six, seven, eight year old.
And one of the really great things about our program
is that all patients have a private room and there's
another bed in there for parents to.
Speaker 4 (13:21):
Fuel to spend the night.
Speaker 9 (13:22):
Okay, so given that we are pediatric hospital, it's kids
and families first, and that's like from the minute they
step in the door.
Speaker 4 (13:30):
We love having parents stay over.
Speaker 9 (13:31):
We get to interact with them more, We get to
really get a sense of how things are going between
the parent and child and do coaching and just help
everybody kind of manage everything better.
Speaker 2 (13:43):
And if you do go to Children's mn dot org
slash gift today and you do donate, How are the
funds Race today helping Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (13:52):
Well, I have to say we love our donors.
Speaker 9 (13:55):
We really try to think about you know, insurance and
reimbursement rates just are going down and down, and that
pays for the basics, right, It pays for the hospital,
stay in the hospital room, the food, seeing the doctor.
But so much of our program is not about that.
It's about how do we help kids become resilient and
functional and so things that donor money has gone to
(14:15):
is an outdoor space for kids to get fresh air
and plan outside. It's gone to yoga and move mindfully programs.
It goes to things like you know, therapy pets and
plant therapy and all of those extras that kids can
take outside of here as well.
Speaker 1 (14:31):
Yeah, if you're just turning on your radio, we're talking
talking to doctor Striker. She is the medical director of
in patient psychiatry here at Children's Minnesota. And we're gonna
take a little quick quick break and we're gonna come
back and talk more to her and learn a little
bit more about the inpatient the services they offer here
at Children's and also hopefully inspire you to donate some
of your money to help out this amazing one. On
(14:53):
one point three, Katie W b with Fallon and Cult.
We're live from Children's Minnesota today. We're in Saint Paul
and we're lucky enough to doctor Striker joining us. She's
the medical director of impatient Psychiatry. So we were just
talking about some of the services you offer and what
some of the funds we're raising.
Speaker 3 (15:09):
Today will go help.
Speaker 1 (15:11):
Just at a deeper level as a parent, maybe someone's
listening right now, or maybe a grandma as they want
to pass us along, or however that may be.
Speaker 3 (15:19):
How can kids and families take care of their mental health?
Speaker 1 (15:23):
I feel like we a lot of us, we look
at the different things in life, right, I think the
top thing we look at we look at social media
and how that is affecting our lives.
Speaker 3 (15:31):
Yeah, I mean I look at that.
Speaker 1 (15:32):
I'm like, I'm addicted to my phone, and my husband
and I go back and forth like we're not letting
our daughter get a phone until she's fifteen or sixteen,
and I really hope we stick to that, right, But
there's some direct correlation there. So what can kids and
families do to take care of their mental health? I
love that question.
Speaker 9 (15:49):
We talk so much about medication and therapy are a
very small part of taking care of your mental health.
The number one thing I believe in a structure and routine.
We've all been on those beach vacations where after four
days you start getting antsy. Yes, and it's because we
haven't like set a routine for ourselves. So like kind
of a standard wake up time, a standard bedtime, getting
(16:11):
out and doing something, getting fresh air, vitamin D, all
of those good things for my own kids. I also
have a six year old, and I have some step
kids that are older. Their phones are out of their
room at nine point thirty. I really believe in limited
screen time and sleep is the most important thing. So
we do not have phones, tablets, computers, any TVs in
(16:34):
kids rooms because they have to sleep at night.
Speaker 1 (16:37):
My step son, he's seventeen, he just got I can't
remember what it's called, but it's he ordered the mail
for himself where it limits how long you can be
on your phone.
Speaker 3 (16:46):
I love that.
Speaker 1 (16:47):
And because he even acknowledged, he's like, he'll come upstairs.
He's like, I just scrolled on TikTok for ninety straight minutes.
I don't know where the time, Like Dylan, I've done
that too, but he was like, you know, he was
able to look at that and say this is I'm
not being productive, this isn't good for me, absolutely, and
put a.
Speaker 4 (17:04):
Block on that.
Speaker 3 (17:04):
But not everyone has that.
Speaker 1 (17:06):
So that's where I love that role of Like phones
are out of the room in the evening.
Speaker 9 (17:10):
And there's so many parents on the unit where it's
like when we say that, it's such a surprise, like
it's never occurred to them that they have the ability
as the parent to say that to their child.
Speaker 4 (17:23):
And I'm like, I do this with my kids.
Speaker 9 (17:24):
I highly encourage people to take charge like they are
the adult and they need to make sure their kids'
mental health is good.
Speaker 3 (17:31):
Absolutely.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
You know, we're talking about the impatient program here at Children's.
What do you think it is that really differentiates you
from others your program here?
Speaker 9 (17:43):
So we are the only in patient mental health unit
here that is within a pediatric hospital and that doesn't
have adult services, and that really allows us to focus
on kids and kids first and families first. So that's
where we have those private rooms and parents can stay over.
I don't really know if any other places in the
Minnesota for sure. There's very few in the country that
(18:05):
allow parents to spend the night, and I think it's
really important kids don't feel abandoned by their parents.
Speaker 4 (18:11):
Parents are part of the treatment.
Speaker 2 (18:13):
Yeah, it can be scary and it's like going through
that step in that process and you're like I don't
want to do it alone, or like, oh, you know,
so it's great that you have that option.
Speaker 1 (18:21):
Well, yeah, and as a parent too, I'm like, I
would be stressed out the whole time. I want to
be with my daughter and see what's going on and
be there for her to support.
Speaker 9 (18:29):
And parents can see our faces, right, they can meet
us and then feel more trusting about what's.
Speaker 4 (18:33):
Happening on the unit.
Speaker 1 (18:34):
Absolutely, well, this this program is so important and obviously
we are here talking about it because we also want
to raise a little bit of money. It is Kid's
Day where we're broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota, and your
donations make a huge difference. We talked about that a
little while ago, but you can donate right now. We
(18:55):
have links posted on our socials Balon and cult or KATIEWB,
but also it is Children's m n dot org slash
give today. Thank you so much, Thank you so much
forcing me for all. One oh one point three KATIEWB
with Fallon and Cold. We're broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota.
It's Give to Kids Day. We're supporting the mental health
program here and just a heads up, all donations made today,
(19:18):
they're gonna be matched, so you know you're doubling the
impact when you support. I just dropped on. I made
my donation at Children's m n dot org. We're gonna
come back. Cold, of course, has chaos going on in
his neighborhood. Ten out of ten assume that he is
the root cause of that.
Speaker 2 (19:33):
I don't know. This is like on the news. This
is like I saw it on TikTok. This is all
over the place. Dude, something is going down.
Speaker 3 (19:37):
And I'm like, if it's an Land on an e bike,
it's you.
Speaker 2 (19:41):
I feel like it's a little dramatic. Okay, it's a homeowner,
you think, Okay.
Speaker 1 (19:48):
One oh one point three KATIEWB with Fallon and Cold,
broadcasting live from Children's of Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (19:53):
Yeah, and we're really hoping you can raise money.
Speaker 1 (19:56):
We're gonna get an update here soon and uh hopefully
we raised a little money. They are matching donations today,
So when you make a donation, even if it's like
five dollars.
Speaker 3 (20:05):
Boom, already ten dollars.
Speaker 1 (20:06):
So we would really really love if you go to
Children's mn dot org slash GiB. We're gonna be talking
to professionals and doctors all throughout the show this afternoon.
It's a little bit different of a show to just
get you some information because that is so important when we're.
Speaker 3 (20:21):
Dealing with mental health.
Speaker 1 (20:22):
But a totally different topic right now, Cold is claiming
his neighborhood's being dramatic.
Speaker 2 (20:28):
Okay, I saw a TikTok video come up and I
was like, wait a minute, that looks like my alleyway.
Speaker 3 (20:33):
What's happening tiktoko and viral from your alleyway?
Speaker 2 (20:36):
Yeah, I was like, wait a minute, hold on, so
that I look, here's the situation. And as as a homeowner,
I'm a renter, so I'm not trapped in with my neighbors.
Like there's a way out, right, there's.
Speaker 3 (20:44):
A way out if you own a home. By the way,
you can sell your house and move.
Speaker 2 (20:46):
But yes, go on a little easier though. Okay, here's
a situation. There's a neighbor and their kids played basketball.
This basketball who they playing the driveway. I saw it,
saw their direct neighbor is like, hey, I don't want
to look out my window and see your kids playing basketball.
She tried to get a restraining order on the kids
(21:08):
and the family to keep them away from her window.
But you gotta remember, in Saint Louis Park, you're basically
you reach your hand out, you're touching a house.
Speaker 1 (21:15):
Neighbor for sure. Jenny from The Morning Show also lives
in Saint Louis Park. When she jumps ropes her neighbors,
it sounds like she's jumping rope in a living room,
but there's no there's no.
Speaker 3 (21:24):
Insulation in these houses in Saint Louis Park.
Speaker 2 (21:26):
Forgot about that. My neighbor crazy. My neighbor one time
I was working out on the treadmill in the basement
and he was like, dude, you gotta stop like a
hammer and are doing construction. And I was like, you
mean my feet, my footsteps on a treadmill. Is that
what we're talking about?
Speaker 1 (21:37):
I know, of course, not a way to work, and
that he works out, Please move on.
Speaker 3 (21:43):
So what's the deal? So free to thet kids hoop it.
Speaker 2 (21:47):
So they took it to the judge and the judge
is like, yeah, I'm not gonna give it a restraining order.
Children playing basketball in their driveway. So now she's trying
to sue the family for like this distress or like,
I don't know, I don't think it's gonna go anywhere.
Speaker 3 (22:01):
Basketball like one am if so I actually know there is.
Speaker 2 (22:04):
It's just like an eight year old and the ten
year old brothers and they're just like standing there chilling.
Speaker 4 (22:09):
She doesn't like these kids.
Speaker 2 (22:10):
Yeah, kid person, And I get it, Like if you listen,
if you're not a kid person, it could be really annoyed.
But at the same time, you can't.
Speaker 3 (22:18):
You got to you gotta go move somewhere with a
little bit more land.
Speaker 2 (22:20):
I guess why everybody's like, why aren't kids outside anymore?
Speaker 1 (22:23):
I don't know, because they're getting be straining or a
place against someone who do go to play basketball.
Speaker 3 (22:26):
That's Saint Louis Park is so dramatic right now.
Speaker 2 (22:29):
Yeah, so I don't know, we'll see what plays out.
Speaker 1 (22:30):
Well, I don't really want this woman on my bad side,
so I'm a little a little nervous reporting on this.
Speaker 3 (22:34):
She sounds like a woman who can make things happen.
Speaker 2 (22:36):
It is Saint Louis Park's fault though, because my kids
when they try to talk to my neighbor, they'll be like, hey,
he's not talking to me. I'm like, she's just trying
to talk to him for twenty minutes. You got so
he just wants to be in his backyard leave me alone.
Speaker 3 (22:49):
All right, Well, thank you cult for that.
Speaker 1 (22:50):
I thought it was going to be some weird story
about a guy on an e bike and it was
going to be about you.
Speaker 2 (22:54):
Let's be honest.
Speaker 1 (22:55):
So all right, we're going to come back. We have
more guests joining us. We are broadcasting live from Children's
Minnesota today.
Speaker 3 (23:02):
It is a big day. It's Give to Kids Day.
Speaker 1 (23:05):
So if you are unlike this one woman we referenced
in Saint Louis Park, you do care about kids, you'd
like to help them out and the mental health program
they have here at Children's, you can go to children'smen
dot org, slash give and donations are being matched today.
But we're gonna get you more information about their mental
health program when we come back on kd WB. Today's
(23:26):
trending with Fellan and Cold on one on one point
three kd WB. Okay, we are broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota,
and we're gonna get an update here in a little
bit for how much we've raised. They are matching donations stays.
You can go to Children's MN dot org slash give
and it is Give to Kids Day and we are
trying to help out. We're raising awareness about their mental
(23:48):
health program, raising funds for that.
Speaker 3 (23:50):
So we'll be diving more.
Speaker 1 (23:51):
Into that throughout the show. All Right, a little bit
of trending for you.
Speaker 7 (23:55):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (23:56):
They say, if you want to know if someone is lying,
there is one word that immediately is a dead giveaway
someone isn't telling the truth. This is on a recent
diary of a CEO podcast. They said, when someone says never,
it's a sign their line never is an extreme. Extremes
are a dead giveaway all the time. I know you
(24:16):
say to me, you're like, I would never leave you at.
Speaker 2 (24:19):
Days ago.
Speaker 1 (24:21):
I would never like take my family and move to
a different state and abandon you.
Speaker 2 (24:25):
I would never say you're crazy behind your back. That's
not a thing I.
Speaker 1 (24:29):
Deserve that one. I can give you a pass on.
Let's see, it's May. Obviously, Mental Health Awareness Month kicks
off today. That's why we're here at Children's but other
things going on in May.
Speaker 3 (24:40):
No mo may.
Speaker 1 (24:41):
So it's a movement that's supposed to help your yard
and the bees. So you're not supposed to know your
month for the entire or the line for the entire month.
Speaker 2 (24:48):
Yes, I tried this last year and then my neighbor
was like, you know, one of the reasons why I
moved into this neighborhood is because everybody just takes care
of their yard and it's just nice. And I was like, dude,
and I will in jum. I was like, I'm doing
it for the bees.
Speaker 3 (24:59):
Dude, Yeah, mind your business. You don't have an hoa.
You're fine. That can't get on you. I do.
Speaker 1 (25:03):
Let me tell you my ajoy will probably have a
ruler in my yard measuring murmur. Also, no meat may.
That's another thing. I don't know that I'm going to
make it on that one. No meat may dot organ
or on that.
Speaker 2 (25:16):
Oh yeah, no.
Speaker 1 (25:18):
Guess what I've eaten today. All I've had today so
far is an almond croissant. So I'm sticking to it.
I'm doing well with no meat may.
Speaker 2 (25:25):
It's kind of a flex.
Speaker 7 (25:26):
You're fasting fasting by eating like an eight hundred calorie to.
Speaker 3 (25:32):
Start my day.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
That was like the only thing you had. So I
don't know, I is this So.
Speaker 1 (25:37):
Wait a minute, when you've told me the past you
were fasting, is this how you.
Speaker 3 (25:41):
Are doing fast? I mean technically a thousand calories.
Speaker 2 (25:44):
Any amount of time after you eat is technically fasting.
So I mean you're sitting a non NonStop cycle of
fasting if you think about it that way.
Speaker 3 (25:50):
So you do have an angle on everything. Yeah, would
you say you never not fast?
Speaker 2 (25:57):
I mean I could probably gaslate you into thinking that.
Speaker 1 (26:00):
Okay while I was using the never situation. Okay, well
that is your trending. We are going to come back.
We're going to talk to hot Let me pull this
up because I want to make sure I get the
information right. We're going to talk to Sarah Jerstad when
we come back.
Speaker 8 (26:12):
She is the.
Speaker 1 (26:13):
PhD LP child psychologist here at Children's Minnesota, and we're
going to learn a lot from her. We're going to
talk about the different topics and aspects of different things
that children are facing.
Speaker 3 (26:29):
Here at Children's.
Speaker 1 (26:31):
Also ways that we as parents can identify it and.
Speaker 3 (26:34):
Help out with that one.
Speaker 2 (26:35):
Yes, I'm super interested in that.
Speaker 3 (26:37):
Absolutely.
Speaker 2 (26:37):
I'm two younger kids, so.
Speaker 1 (26:38):
I'm still raising funds at Children's MNT dot org slash
give one on one point three, KATIEWB. We're fallin and cult.
We're broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota today. We're out in
Saint Paul and we are just surrounded by such impressive people.
And you've actually worked here for almost I was looking
at this almost twenty years, which is crazy.
Speaker 3 (26:59):
I we want to welcome to the show, Sarah.
Speaker 1 (27:02):
Jerstad So PhD LP Child Psychologists. You have an amazing
and I'm sure very difficult job.
Speaker 10 (27:10):
I love my job and the challenges are something that
I relish. So I've worked here for as you said,
almost twenty years. I've worked with kids and families and
I still do every day, basically helping with all kinds
of mental health problems, everything from.
Speaker 4 (27:26):
Depression and anxiety to just.
Speaker 10 (27:28):
Dealing and coping with chronic illness, to any kinds of
adjustments that happen in life. And you guys know there
can be tons of adjustments when you're a kid and
a teenager.
Speaker 2 (27:37):
Have you seen throughout the years parents being more open
to like, Okay, maybe we do need some resources and
there are people who can help us. Have you seen
an uptake within your past like five years out of
those twenty.
Speaker 10 (27:50):
Absolutely, what you're referring to is stigma. When I first
started this career, and even when I think about when
I was a teenager, there was so much stigma with
mental illness, and a lot of times as a young person,
you know, I think adults would just say, just just
handle it, you know, you can just deal with it.
And now there is such a recognition that mental health
is real and that these concerns are something that need
(28:13):
to be dealt with and addressed.
Speaker 1 (28:15):
So a lot of the time you hear, Okay, well,
is it that more people are experiencing it or is
it that we're acknowledging it more?
Speaker 3 (28:23):
Now, what do you think it is. I think it's
a combination.
Speaker 10 (28:27):
So to the point of acknowledging it, we have become
more open and aware of these mental health concerns and
we're accepting that this is something many people go through
and need treatment for. But in the past fifteen years,
if you look at the data, mental health concerns with
kids and teenagers has steadily increased. So since about twenty
(28:48):
ten twenty eleven, we've seen those numbers go up, and
there was a specific uptick then during COVID and just
after COVID, which you guys can imagine was a stressful time.
Speaker 1 (28:58):
Well, yeah, your eyes lighted at your home, you're not
interacting with people, You're spending a lot more time on
your devices, which we know there are correlations there.
Speaker 3 (29:05):
Of course.
Speaker 1 (29:06):
Can you tell us about the mental health crisis that
is happening both nationwide and here in Minnesota.
Speaker 10 (29:12):
Yeah, so the numbers look similar in Minnesota and nationwide,
and some of the things that we've seen, we've seen
increase in depression and anxiety and in suicidal ideation.
Speaker 3 (29:23):
We've seen it across.
Speaker 10 (29:25):
The board, but that uptick is higher in girls, particularly
in the areas of depression.
Speaker 2 (29:30):
So that's a.
Speaker 10 (29:31):
Concern that we have noted and that we pay attention to.
Speaker 1 (29:34):
If you're turning on your radio and you're one who
we're talking to, we're talking to Sarah Juristaid. She's a
child psychologist here at Children's Minnesota, and we're really here
to mostly raise awareness about their mental health program they
have here, but also to raise some money. And I
want to get into We're going to take a quick break,
but I want to come back and I want to
(29:55):
talk to you about things that we can look for,
things that we can do as parents, family support systems
to uh maybe look for signs ways we can help
in addition to the programs you offer.
Speaker 3 (30:09):
So what did that?
Speaker 1 (30:09):
We come back and hopefully get a little donation action
from you. One on one point three katiewb with Fallon
and Colt. We are live from Children to Minnesota. It
is Give to Kids' Day. We are trying to raise
money to help support the mental health program here.
Speaker 3 (30:24):
I really hope that.
Speaker 1 (30:27):
A you're learning a little bit today, whether or not
you have a kid that would use these programs, it's
it's good information. As a cult. My are both parents.
I have a seventeen year old step son. I have
a five year old daughter cult five and three year.
Speaker 2 (30:40):
Old yeah five almost four. So yeah, you know, these
are conversations where, especially as they get into school, there's
emotions and you're not there like how mitigate and they're
trying to figure out like, oh why do I feel
this way or whatever. It's a scary step to take,
you know, when you just release them out to the world.
Speaker 1 (30:54):
Yes, absolutely so, we have with us. Sarah Jerstad, PhD LP.
She's a child psychologists here and we were just talking
to her, and I said, before we went to break,
when we come back, I want I talk about, like,
as a parent, as a part of the support community
around the kids, what are some things that we can
look for in our kids.
Speaker 10 (31:13):
Yeah, that's such a great question because as parents you
start to wonder what's normal and what's abnormal. A teenager
hanging out in their room all day online, A lot
of parents would say, Okay, I think that's what teenagers do.
But one of the things as a parent you really
want to do is look at how has my team
been behaving and is something different. So if this is
(31:33):
a kid who's been involved in sports or activities or
with friends and all of a sudden you see them
isolating more, it's a signal you know, you know your
kid's the best, and it's a signal that something is
going on. And then it's time to probably talk to them,
not with the pressure of you know, something is really wrong,
but just I'm here to listen and is everything okay?
Speaker 4 (31:53):
Opening up that conversation, and.
Speaker 3 (31:55):
I know a lot of kids are going to be
like nothing, you know, nothing's.
Speaker 10 (31:58):
Wrong, standard teenage response.
Speaker 1 (32:02):
Yeah, when one thing that and I don't know how
you'll feel about this.
Speaker 3 (32:05):
So this is what my husband has always said.
Speaker 1 (32:07):
He's found he's been able to get have the best
conversations and get the most out of his son in
the car.
Speaker 3 (32:13):
And there's something a strategy for taking boks, Yes.
Speaker 1 (32:17):
Something about they don't have to make direct eye contact,
and I don't know they have. They're there, they're isolated together.
It's like that's where the best conversations happen.
Speaker 10 (32:26):
You take the opportunities that you have in front of
you to talk to your kid. You don't want to
make it a big sit down because immediately kids feel pressured.
Speaker 4 (32:33):
They're so sensitive to that.
Speaker 10 (32:35):
But getting in the car or just if you regularly
do things, you regularly take them to somewhere, you regularly
have dinner, that's where open conversation can happen. And as
a parent, it's really healthy to model your own feelings.
Speaker 4 (32:48):
If you've had a hard day.
Speaker 10 (32:50):
Or if you're feeling stressed about something, to openly talk
about it. It really kind of opens up the door
to your teenager or a young child to recognize it's
actually okay to talk about things that are hard or stressful.
Speaker 2 (33:03):
I found that as I go when I go to therapy,
like every Tuesday, I'll be like, all right, I gotta go.
I have an appointment for myself and they're like, what
are you talking about? And I'm like, well, it's kind
of like a doctor a little bit, like I'm going
to get a check up. And they're like, so on
your brain. It's your brain, bro, if you have brain surgery.
And I was like, kind of a little bit. I'm
just talking about how I feel and what's going on
in my life. So I can, you know, be the
(33:24):
best version of me.
Speaker 3 (33:25):
What a great example for your kids.
Speaker 10 (33:27):
Yeah, to show them that it's healthy to take care
of your mental health, to talk to someone and to
get support, and for young kids to see that, then
it's just normalizes it as time goes on.
Speaker 1 (33:37):
If you're just turning on your radio, we're talking to
Sarah jer said, she's a child psychologist here at Children's Minnesota.
We are in the final weeks of the school or
my son Steffun just took the act.
Speaker 3 (33:47):
There, the tests happening.
Speaker 1 (33:49):
There's the pressure of finals of graduation. How can students
manage that?
Speaker 10 (33:55):
Yeah, the pressure of school can be really difficult, and
when kids feel anxious sometimes their tenants is to just
put it off right, Maybe I'll just watch some YouTube
or go play a video game, or.
Speaker 4 (34:05):
Just do something else.
Speaker 10 (34:07):
But when that happens for a long time, then a
pile up occurs and there's overwhelming that can actually lead
to pretty significant anxiety. So if parents can kind of
help them check in structure time, you know, getting their
assignments done on more of a regular basis, that is
going to relieve that ultimate anxiety and that pile up
at the end. Another thing that kids face at the
(34:27):
end of the year is maybe, especially if you're a
junior or senior, what am I going to do next?
Speaker 3 (34:31):
What's happening?
Speaker 10 (34:32):
And you know, adults have a little bit of that
perspective to recognize this. You don't have to make a
decision for the rest of your life right now, even though.
Speaker 4 (34:42):
As a kid it feels like it just does.
Speaker 10 (34:45):
And so to kind of say the journey is fun
and awesome and to let your kids know the direction
they go. If it's one way and then another, that's okay.
You know you're with them in that process.
Speaker 3 (34:56):
Absolutely well.
Speaker 1 (34:57):
I want to thank you so much for joining us
and talking with us today. We are raising money for
Children's Minnesota, especially for their mental health programs. You know,
today May first kicks off Mental Health Awareness Month. It's
all year round, but you know they give months to
certain things.
Speaker 3 (35:13):
So if you want to make a donation, you can.
Speaker 1 (35:15):
You can go to Salin and colts on to one
oh one point three KDWB broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota,
kicking off Mental Health Awareness Month and trying to raise
some money.
Speaker 3 (35:26):
While we're out here, we're going to have doctor G. G.
Chawla joining.
Speaker 1 (35:29):
She's the vice president chief of General Pediatrics here. I
know we're going to talk to her about all the
type of services they have, how they're making it more
accessible to families. We're going to talk to her in
about five minutes on KDDA. It's one on one point
three KATIEWB with Fallon and Cult broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota.
We're out in Saint Paul today for a very very
(35:50):
important Today it's Give to Kids Day and just a
heads up, we are raising money but also awareness for
their mental health program and donations are being matched today.
No pressure, but I say this would be a pretty
good day to make a donation at Children's MN dot
org slash give I don't know how we lined all
these amazing guests up today if you will to talk
(36:10):
about the program, but we have doctor gg Tala joining
US vice President in chief of General Pediatrics. So a
pretty big role you have here and I want to
dive in immediately. Have you tell people a little bit
about yourself and your role here at Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 4 (36:27):
Well, thanks so much for having me here.
Speaker 5 (36:29):
I'm super excited about it, and you know, my role
really started decades ago. My family's very first home was
on the Children's campus. Wow, and so I grew I'm
part of the fabric, kind of grew up here, did
all my medical school and training, and then was really
fortunate about twenty five years ago to start my career
(36:51):
at Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 3 (36:52):
Well, I know that Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (36:54):
They obviously we're talking about the mental health program. Maybe
you can lean to that a little bit, kind of
explain what are the services that you provide, the types
of different services.
Speaker 5 (37:05):
Yeah, we're really excited about our mental health continuum for
kids here at Children's. You know, prior to really launching
our effort, we did some investigation, right, Yeah, we talked
to our stakeholders internally who take care of kids. We
talked to our community and really understood what it was
(37:27):
that they were looking for, what the gaps were, as
we really honed what our continuum services would be, so
we offer the full spectrum for pediatric care.
Speaker 4 (37:37):
We're really proud of that.
Speaker 5 (37:39):
It starts all the way from integrated behavioral health, which
our therapists who work right in our primary care clinics
embed at the hip with our clinicians to make sure
that even talking about mental health topics is easy and
comfortable for patients and for staff alike, all the way
(37:59):
through to more standalone services for therapy embed into our
specialty clinics, so when you come to see your cancer doctor,
you also have a therapist available for you. Then to
two more advanced care that's really needed for specialized services
like kids with autism, kids who have eating disorders, and
(38:22):
then kids who have more acute mental health concerns or
crises where we need to really devote specific and extra
time focused on their mental health at partial hospitalization or
day treatment programs, and even in patient mental health.
Speaker 1 (38:38):
I love what you said about making people more comfortable
and how they talk about it, because you know, we
talk about it on our show frequently from celebrities who
are you know, maybe they're going into treatment. We talk
about it with our own personal lives, going to therapy
and addressing things, and I find myself being nervous to
say the wrong thing, to to approach it the wrong way.
(39:01):
And so it's so important to help people who are
in the support systems around kids know how to talk
about it and be there for their kids, but also,
like you said, the people actually in the hospital to
be able to address this and approach it properly.
Speaker 4 (39:18):
Yeah, you know, I think everybody's got their story.
Speaker 5 (39:20):
You know. Mental health care is whole body care, right
all the way from preventative care to the little things
that if we address early enough, don't escalate, don't become
big or lifelong problems, especially when we're talking about kids.
Preventative care or giving kids the tools and the families
(39:41):
tools really early on can make a whole lifetime of difference.
Speaker 1 (39:45):
If you're turning on your radio and you're like, Okay,
what exactly am I missing?
Speaker 3 (39:48):
What's going on here?
Speaker 1 (39:49):
We're at Children's Minnesota today and we are talking to
doctor gg Tawa, Vice President in chief of General Pediatrics here,
and really the goal is to do all the program
they have, but also so maybe just give you a
little bit of information for your own life, things that
you're dealing with with your kids or how to approach
different things, and know that there are resources right here.
Speaker 3 (40:09):
In our community.
Speaker 1 (40:11):
And your money today, like a donation that you make
is going to be doubled. It helps with others dealing
with this, maybe it will benefit you one day. You
can go to Children's MN dot org slash GiB but
we're gonna come back. We're gonna speak one on one
point three katiewb with Fallon and Cult and joining us
as doctor Gig Taula here from Children's Minnesota. We are
broadcasting live. We're actually the Saint Paul location. For many reasons.
Speaker 3 (40:34):
May kicks off.
Speaker 1 (40:34):
Mental health awareness month. That's a big one. It's Give
to Kids Day. So we put this all together, like
let's raise some money while we're out here, raise some
awareness about the mental health program they offer and help
fund this. So I know, Colt, you you've been waiting
to ask some questions and I didn't let you at
all last time.
Speaker 2 (40:54):
So here we go. Yeah, like I don't know, I
didn't have like structure growing up as a child, like
I didn't have like anybody to look to to like, Okay,
this is how you're supposed to like raise a family.
So I'm kind of just in here, winging it with
my five year old and my four soon to be
four year old. And my question is, like, if let's say,
like a question, I have some questions and some concerns,
(41:17):
and I'm like unsure if I'm fit to be able
to help them by my own. What are some of
the unique things you do here at Children's that can
kind of like give me a little bit of confidence
of like, Okay, this is the right step I need
to take. This is where I need to bring up
for these resources.
Speaker 5 (41:34):
Well, that's a great question to start, and you know,
I think it's a lot of the same type of
questions that families have. You know, there is no great
playbook for how to you know, what's the best parenting
advice and what's the greatest technique here and there? Because
it really is unique and individualized. There's books out there about,
(41:55):
you know, how to raise children to do X, Y
and Z, but making it personal is really the most
important part. So for me, the answer to that would
be an established trusted relationship first with a primary care
provider who can bring in integrated behavioral health professionals, which
are therapists that might help guide you as a parent
(42:18):
when you're trying to make the right.
Speaker 4 (42:20):
Choice should I should I do?
Speaker 5 (42:22):
Should I try to, you know, temper this child who's
got really a lot of emotional dysregulation in this way?
Should I do it with a reward system? Or how
should I approach it? It really becomes very useful to
kind of walk it through in a highly unique way
with our integrated behavioral health therapists.
Speaker 2 (42:43):
And do you find it challenging for some parents? Like
there's almost like an ego thing like I'm doing I
should be able to figure out how to do this
on my own. And I just know because I have
two daughters and they're completely different. So it's like, all right,
you're not ones acting this way, the others acting this way,
so I'm perfect, must not be any I'm doing there.
It's totally different personality. True, So is there like a
(43:04):
step where parents kind of have to like kind of
know like it's not what I'm doing, but this is
just like the necessary thing for my kid?
Speaker 5 (43:13):
Yeah, you know, I think, Boy, when when a parent
really feels how challenging it can be. You know, between
different children too, that's like some of the most vulnerable time,
and it just it can eat away at you to
not feel like you're perfect or you don't have the
right answer for one child compared to the other child.
(43:35):
You know, I think the first thing to really make
sure that parents know is that they should not be alone.
They should not ever feel alone in that moment, especially culturally.
You know, we've got a lot of ego built up
on what parenting looks like and making our kids feel
really successful.
Speaker 4 (43:52):
But it really does take a village. I mean, that's
exactly what it is.
Speaker 5 (43:57):
And we've created a little bit of society where we've
siloed ourselves instead of leaning into that community and extended
family support. But think about you know, your healthcare provider,
Children's Minnesota, and other teammates as being part of that village.
Speaker 1 (44:14):
I know, one thing that stops a lot of families
is they don't feel that they have the resources or
the funds. Things are not accessible to every family. How
is it different with Children's Minnesota. How are you making
programs like this more accessible?
Speaker 5 (44:28):
Yeah, you know, I think it's a really good point
healthcare is complicated, Yes it is. Yes, healthcare can even
be a little bit broken, and that's you know. One
example is this concept of integrated behavioral health. So in
the past, we used to identify kids and families who
really needed extra support from a therapy standpoint, and we
(44:51):
would give them a referral right right, and that type
of referral that means you, as a parent who's already
feeling overwhelmed, have to now figure out how to get
a hold of somebody in network and do all of
these things to get your child that next needed step.
Speaker 4 (45:08):
And that all on.
Speaker 5 (45:09):
Its own, you've got at least fifty percent of families
that do not make the step right just because of
the hurdle. That's what integrated behavioral health does, is it
takes away at least.
Speaker 4 (45:21):
One of the hurdles.
Speaker 5 (45:22):
When we're in the room and you're telling me about
how difficult your child is with this type of behavior,
we're going to pull in a therapist right then and there,
make sure that we establish how easy it is to
access right there in the clinic that you've already been
coming to, and start to take care of services there.
And if we can't, then we're going to partner with
(45:44):
the community for where should your child go next, and
make that handoff so that it's easier, it feels safer,
and it's not just up to the parent to do
it exactly.
Speaker 1 (45:55):
I mean you're exactly like you said, the parent is
already feeling a lot. They're also working, they're raising kids.
They it's probably not just the one kid, right, Usually
there are others that they're taking care of, so that
it's a lot on the parents. Amazing that you really
help fill that gap for them and make life just
a little bit easier during a really difficult time.
Speaker 3 (46:14):
We're at Children's Minnesota.
Speaker 1 (46:15):
We've been talking to doctor Gigi Taula here and I
want to just say that these programs do become more
available to families with more funding that we raise here
today and today they are doubling donations. If you get
a chance, maybe something touches you, maybe this is a
program that's helped you and your family in the past.
(46:37):
This is your time to donate. You can go to
Children's mn dot org slash give Thank you so much,
We appreciate your time.
Speaker 4 (46:44):
Thanks for having me Today.
Speaker 3 (46:46):
It's the Pop Culture Minute with Balan and.
Speaker 4 (46:48):
Cult on one on one point three d w B.
Speaker 1 (46:52):
We're so distracted because Break is the dog here at
Children's Minnesota. He's the best good boys, a little stuffy.
Speaker 3 (47:00):
He's going to the lane in his bed and they sit.
Speaker 1 (47:02):
They're actually going to get another dog soon, specifically for
their mental health programs.
Speaker 2 (47:09):
Excited they're going to be best friends. I know, dude.
They need a TV show, kind.
Speaker 3 (47:12):
Of a little bit you live camp, Live Cam.
Speaker 1 (47:16):
Oh, I watch it all the time. Just a couple
of ideas. We're throwing out pressure. Obviously, we are raising
money today and Children's of Minnesota.
Speaker 2 (47:24):
It's that could be a every we get rise gets
a little treaty tre treat.
Speaker 3 (47:30):
Why would you deprive Rigs of a treat It's disrespectful.
Speaker 1 (47:33):
Yeah, but you know it is being matched today, So
you know you're doing good Bye Rigs. You're doing good
by Children's Minnesota, their mental health program.
Speaker 3 (47:40):
It's all good stuff.
Speaker 1 (47:41):
You can donate now at Children's m n dot org
slash give all.
Speaker 3 (47:45):
Right.
Speaker 1 (47:45):
Diving into our pop culture minute, as you know Nick
Cannon twelve kids with six women, which is you know whatever.
I don't it's in on my business, but I will
say that he confirmed he did have his area ensured
for ten million dollars.
Speaker 2 (48:01):
What does that even mean? I'm confused.
Speaker 1 (48:02):
Well, some celebrities will do it like it was like
they used to say, like Jennifer Lopez had her butt insirt,
but like you the best asset, so.
Speaker 2 (48:11):
If it goes away, happens to it?
Speaker 1 (48:13):
Yes, because that's where they're making their money or what.
Speaker 3 (48:16):
And he says this is his best best asset.
Speaker 8 (48:18):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (48:18):
But the funny part about it, he goes on the
podcast he confirmed he did this, and then one of
his baby mamas reposted and said, ha ha ha ha
funny and he plans on seeing your child. It's been
over a month, but good to know she'll get some
of your money if anything happened.
Speaker 2 (48:36):
Yeah, I mean the issue is like they have to
go into it knowing that he's not going to be
around right well, because at some point when you have twelve,
it's like it's hard.
Speaker 1 (48:47):
To yeah, see you, mommy. I have a hard time
being a great mom. I feel like I'm a one kid.
So yeah, I don't know how Nick Knon's doing it
with well, feels like he probably isn't.
Speaker 3 (48:54):
I don't know who am I to judge?
Speaker 2 (48:57):
Right, dude, Mike drop more.
Speaker 1 (49:00):
Moments come and play for the family of Bill Belichick.
He remember did a fun little interview with CBS, and
by the way, he's said since that he's like upset
with the line of questioning was supposed to be just
about his book, because the interviewer said, Hey, how did
you guys meet to Bill in his seventies and his
girlfriend in her twenties, And she's like, we're not talking
about that.
Speaker 3 (49:19):
She like popped up out of nowhere, and everyone's like,
oh my gosh, where's she come from?
Speaker 1 (49:22):
And CBS like, we actually specifically over and over again
to his publisher, said we would be asking a variety
of questions, and they approved it over and over again.
So we were not out of line with our question
at all. And there was no weird editing. So what
are they even talking about? So they're standing firm and
what they did.
Speaker 2 (49:41):
I think she's genius. I think she did this because
she knew it blew up. I don't even know he
had a book, and so she just said that.
Speaker 1 (49:46):
So well, I guess a couple of his previous players
kind of went on their podcast to defend him and
to sit down and they're like, you know, this is
like normal to do when you have a couple sitting there,
and she was kind of acting as publicists. Even Nicky
Glazer commented on the podcast, posting, one hundred percent this
she's acting as his publicist. Publicists do this during interviews
(50:08):
all the time. People are out for blood. But his
daughter in law commented to her and said, publicists act
in a professional manner and don't storm offset delaying an interview.
Speaker 5 (50:18):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (50:19):
I mean, there's really no way around it. You gotta
but again, maybe what they want for the publicity.
Speaker 1 (50:25):
Yeah, Well, he's saying she didn't cross any lines, YadA, YadA,
and then everyone else is going bill blink twice.
Speaker 2 (50:33):
Couldn't he just like not have like he does? He
is it necessary for him to even have something like
I don't know, it just feels.
Speaker 1 (50:40):
Are saying have a girlfriend. Well, most humans enjoy companionship.
Speaker 2 (50:43):
Well, he knows why she's there though, right, I mean,
he's gotta think.
Speaker 3 (50:46):
I don't think.
Speaker 1 (50:47):
I don't think when older men are rich and they
have very young girlfriends, I don't really think that big
care that that might be the reason they're there. True,
they're still there, you know what? I mean, they're like cool,
So I don't think that that relate fathers. On it all,
they're saying that Rihanna might surprise every one of the
Matt Galler revealing she's pregnant again, which I think is
a crazy thing to say.
Speaker 3 (51:07):
And let's see.
Speaker 1 (51:10):
Lord is dropping her new album, her fourth album, on
June twenty seventh, and they say Chapel Rowan is looking
to enter the acting arena. You're looking for something new
to stream the four season show Tina Fey Road Stars
and with Steve Carell, Will Forte and more. It's not
broadcasting live from Children's Minnesota or Fallon and cult on
(51:30):
one oh one point three k d WB. And everyone
is aware of obviously mental health, right we're talking about it.
We're more comfortable talking to our kids about it, our
family and they offer an amazing program here at children
So that's what we're here for. We're to raise more
awareness about the program, to raise money at children'smn dot
(51:53):
org slash give, and we're talking to the people that
are a part of the program, like Krista Majeris, she
is the child Life supervisor And I want to talk
about now you you work with probably the most popular
member of the staff, which absolutely, yes, hands down. So
what I mean by that, I'll let you explain that, Christa.
So who do you work with and explain a little
(52:15):
bit more about the program you offer which is so amazing.
Speaker 11 (52:17):
Yes, So we started the medical dog program here at
Children's Minnesota just over.
Speaker 4 (52:22):
Two years ago.
Speaker 3 (52:23):
And also it's still pretty new. Yes, yeah, it is so.
Speaker 11 (52:27):
Yes, we have Rigs our first medical doctor on staff.
Speaker 1 (52:32):
It's so hard to resist and we like we immediately
everyone people by the way earlier came in, they didn't
want to meet me and called Doug his Riggs here.
Speaker 3 (52:39):
I was like no, and they left, right, that's true.
Speaker 11 (52:42):
So, yes, Riggs is a four year old Lab golden mix.
He came to us from Cando Canines, who helps train
assistance animals, and he is the first dog in our
medical doctor or medical dog program.
Speaker 3 (52:55):
What does he do? What is what is he? How
does he help patients?
Speaker 11 (52:58):
Riggs is nominal and I say that his biggest gift
is he is a connector. He really helps connect staff
and our patients. Right, So a lot of our patients
that come in, and specifically today we're talking about mental
health and Riggs does interface with you know, patients that
are here for acute mental health services and specifically within
(53:20):
our eating disorders population and program, and you know there
can be some stigma attached to some of those things, right,
And Riggs he comes in no judgment. He is ready
to connect with patients and kids where they're at, and
he helps he helps us every day to do our
jobs more easily as well.
Speaker 2 (53:39):
And you were actually telling us a little bit about
there's a procedure you do with him, including nail polish
if you want to jump into that. Let's talk about that,
right right.
Speaker 11 (53:47):
So when I talk about connections, I'm talking about how
sometimes kids in the healthcare environment can be slow to
warm up, slow to talk, slow to connect with us
or with their peers too, And so Riggs is just
like that avenue for us, like maybe they don't want
to talk to us right now, but they'll talk to him.
Speaker 3 (54:04):
Yeah, right, exactly.
Speaker 11 (54:05):
And maybe also he helps with those social connections amongst
other kids too. So we were talking earlier about how
just last week there were four patients in our eating
disorders program and they were all had each a paw
and we're painting his his nails all different colors, and
yet they were interacting with each other too and connecting together,
(54:26):
and it was just a really fun moment. And I
think what's great about the program is it it can
look on the outside like a lot of fluff and cuddles, right,
but it's it's real work, and it's work that is
based in what their medical goals and their treatment plan is.
Speaker 1 (54:42):
Absolutely, we're at Children's Minnesota talking about their mental health
program and one of the big things is part of
the you said it was called the medical Dog program,
and we're talking about Rigs a little bit. We're gonna
come back, We're gonna talk to Christa a little bit
more about the program.
Speaker 3 (54:58):
And obviously we've posted photos and videos and Rigs.
Speaker 1 (55:01):
You can see those on social media Fallon and Cult
also one oh one three KATWB on Instagram. We also
have linked one oh one point three katiewb.
Speaker 3 (55:11):
With Fallon and Cult. And we have the Child.
Speaker 1 (55:14):
Life Supervisor here at Children's Minnesota joining us, Krista Majeris.
Speaker 3 (55:18):
So we were talking about Rigs now. Riggs is a.
Speaker 1 (55:21):
Very important staff member here at Children's part of the
Medical Dog program. First of all, we gotta give Riggs
a shout out. If you want to give him a
follow on Instagram. What's his handle? Riggs Underscore MD.
Speaker 4 (55:34):
A professional.
Speaker 3 (55:36):
Yes, please follow, Please do.
Speaker 1 (55:38):
If you were looking for some wholesome content in the
world of social media, this is your answer.
Speaker 2 (55:42):
You just have like one of those like play doctor
kids and if we've ran through some simulations like getting
a shot and you have like a needle in his
and you're just chilling, which.
Speaker 1 (55:51):
Is another tool you use to help kids here in
the mental health program and throughout, like using Riggs as
the example.
Speaker 11 (55:58):
Absolutely a lot of what he does is helping kids
learn about the hospital environment and normalizing it for them,
because that's the role of a childlife specialist and our
medical Dog team is to help kids understand their healthcare
experience and make it a little less scary. So if
that means we can work with them through play, through art,
through music, through Rigs a their dog, those are the
(56:20):
avenues that we use, and we use the language of
kids pay as well, and so using some of those
medical play tools with rigs and patients just helps things
to be a little less scary.
Speaker 1 (56:33):
Another amazing thing about children's here. We're here at the
Saint Paul location, which is like your main area is
child life and maybe you can explain what that is
a little bit for you know, patients who come here
for treatment. Absolutely, so our childlife, music therapy, a healing
arts program here is part of the wrap around services
(56:54):
that all patients receive. And the amazing thing is that
it never shows up on their bill.
Speaker 6 (57:00):
Wow.
Speaker 4 (57:00):
And so that's why.
Speaker 11 (57:01):
We're raising money today is for those services so they're
accessible for every patient that comes and so that we
can help promote their child development even while they're here
in the hospital, because no kid or family plans to
be ill or injured, and so we really want to
continue them on that correct path of development while they're
(57:21):
here so that they can still be kids and understand
the experience that they're having too, So teaching them about
the hospital in ways that they can understand whether they're
two or twelve or eighteen. And so we use a
lot of different modalities, like I said, play music, art,
all of the above.
Speaker 2 (57:39):
That's going to be a really cool experience just seeing
like a kid come in like a little nervous and
then like by the time they leave, you're like, oh,
they're loving it. They're interested, they're aware of everything that's
going on and.
Speaker 11 (57:50):
It's about building those coping skills, and that is really
what mental health is about, too, is building those coping
skills so that they can master some of those things
that they're gonna come up against in life. Right, whether
it's a healthcare experience or experience outside of the hospital,
that they have those coping skills built in them that
we help them develop here they can take forward into
(58:13):
future medical experiences or life experiences.
Speaker 1 (58:16):
It's amazing, and you mentioned I mean, the reason we
can keep this off the bill is because of the
funds that we're raising today and they're being matched. So
we would be so so so appreciative you could help
out these amazing programs a Children's Minnesota. You go to
Children's MN dot org slash give. Also, I know this
a lot of companies also match your donation, so I
(58:37):
guess you can double it up in that way as well,
So check that out.
Speaker 3 (58:41):
I want to thank you so much. Christmas one on one.
Speaker 1 (58:44):
Point three KATIEWB with Balin and Cold we are broadcasting
live from Children's Minnesota. Are actually at the same Fall
location and it's a really big days Give to Kids
to day and we're hoping to, like you know, get
you some information on the health program they offer here.
We're gonna be talking to experts throughout the show at
(59:04):
learning a lot ourselves and also raising money for the program.
Speaker 3 (59:08):
Or need you more details? We come back on one
on one point three kt W what normal or nope?
Speaker 2 (59:14):
On one point three KTWB normal or nope.
Speaker 1 (59:17):
I know someone who when they make a cold drink
with ice cubes, they put the ice in first, where
I do the drink first and then ice cubes.
Speaker 3 (59:26):
Normal or dope?
Speaker 2 (59:28):
I feel, Wait, do you think which one you put
the ice in first? Because then you pour the water
or whatever you're poorn in and then you know, like
how much the laquld is supposed because then sometimes you
throw the ice in it'say.
Speaker 3 (59:38):
Oh lashes, miscalculated splashes.
Speaker 1 (59:40):
So I would say I think the same thing, ice
cubes first, then the drink.
Speaker 3 (59:45):
But a lot of the time I filled the cup.
Speaker 1 (59:47):
Of water, go over to the ice tray and then
PLoP it in. It's it's rebellious.
Speaker 2 (59:51):
Well that's a flax hav and an ice tray. That's
I don't have any ice in my house at all.
Actually that's all ambient, dude.
Speaker 3 (59:57):
I couldn't live in a world without ice, it's just.
Speaker 2 (01:00:00):
All luke warms. Basically, just like.
Speaker 3 (01:00:02):
It's so European of you, it is so European normal.
Speaker 1 (01:00:07):
Or no washing bigger dishes in the bathtub because your
kitchen is too small. I don't mean like pots and fans,
but like cake and cupcake carriers and other huge kitchen items.
Speaker 2 (01:00:15):
So you take into the bathtub and then you actually, no,
that's you're a psycho.
Speaker 6 (01:00:20):
No.
Speaker 1 (01:00:21):
Also, what are you doing with food? I wonder there
you just like clogging your bathtub with cupcake?
Speaker 2 (01:00:26):
How are you in?
Speaker 3 (01:00:28):
Is your apartment? I'm not trying to judge you, but
I'm worried.
Speaker 2 (01:00:30):
If you're in like an RV camper, that makes sense,
But you know, how small is your.
Speaker 3 (01:00:34):
Doesn't make sense. I still don't see a world where
I take my.
Speaker 2 (01:00:37):
Well if your sink is like super small, like get it,
but like where.
Speaker 1 (01:00:41):
My mom uses her dishwasher for extra storage and just
hand washes her dishes.
Speaker 2 (01:00:46):
But that feels like you could go anywhere else.
Speaker 3 (01:00:50):
Tell that storage because she has an apartment, doesn't have
a junk, she doesn't have a lot of storage. She's
living in a small apart in your garage she has.
Speaker 1 (01:00:59):
And I've I've acted. She made a flaw. She doesn't
get to put anything else in my storage or my garage.
Speaker 3 (01:01:04):
I'm not kidding.
Speaker 1 (01:01:05):
She's so hot and heavy on Facebook marketplace like I
got this for free.
Speaker 3 (01:01:08):
I'm like, how is that my problem? I don't want
that my garage.
Speaker 2 (01:01:11):
Listen, your mom can bring she could, she can use
my storage and by storage I mean just my basement.
So that's what it is. So yeah, big mistake, dude.
Death can come over anytime.
Speaker 3 (01:01:20):
Normal or no.
Speaker 1 (01:01:21):
Peeling a carrot and not wanting to dirty another utensil,
so you just bite off the ends. You know you
would You would normally chop off the end of a carrot.
Speaker 2 (01:01:30):
Yeah, I guess you could be able with a strawberry too, right,
I don't ever even thought about that if you're cutting
up for your kid.
Speaker 7 (01:01:37):
Yeah, I can't subscribe to that.
Speaker 3 (01:01:42):
At some point in life, your child would like recall
you know there, they would remember.
Speaker 1 (01:01:48):
Dad always just bit the top of my strawberry off,
and they would I don't think they would like that memory.
Speaker 2 (01:01:52):
I had to stop doing it with grapes because I
would like bite a grape in half in hand, and
they recently were like, yeah, dude, I don't want.
Speaker 3 (01:01:58):
To I don't want to me the line somewhere yet.
Speaker 1 (01:02:01):
All right, So if you ever have a normal or nope,

dot org, slash give and it is Give to Kids
Day and we're trying to help out. We're raising awareness
about their mental health program, raising funds for that. So
we'll be diving more into that throughout the show. All Right,
a little bit of trending for you.
Speaker 8 (01:02:40):
Uh.
Speaker 1 (01:02:40):
They say, if you want to know if someone is lying,
there is one word that immediately is a dead giveaway
someone isn't telling the truth.
Speaker 3 (01:02:48):
This is on a recent diary of a CEO podcast.
Speaker 1 (01:02:51):
They said, when someone says never, it's a sign they're lying.
Speaker 3 (01:02:56):
Never is an extreme. Extremes are a dead giveaway.
Speaker 2 (01:03:00):
All the time.
Speaker 3 (01:03:00):
I know you say to me, you're like, I would
never leave.
Speaker 1 (01:03:02):
You at.
Speaker 2 (01:03:04):
Ago.
Speaker 1 (01:03:05):
I would never like take my family and move to
a different state and abandon you.
Speaker 2 (01:03:10):
I would never say you're crazy behind your back.
Speaker 1 (01:03:12):
That's not a thing I deserve that one. I can
give you a pass on. Let's see, it's May. Obviously,
mental Health Awareness Month kicks off today. That's why we're
here at Children's. But other things going on in May.
Speaker 3 (01:03:24):
No mo May.
Speaker 1 (01:03:25):
So it's a movement that's supposed to help your yard
and the bees.
Speaker 3 (01:03:29):
So you're not supposed to know your month for the
entire or the lawn for the entire month.
Speaker 2 (01:03:33):
Yes see. I tried this last year and then my
neighbor was like, you know, one of the reasons why
I moved into this neighborhood is because everybody just takes
care of their yard and it's just nice.
Speaker 3 (01:03:41):
And I was like, dude, and I will in Jim.
Speaker 2 (01:03:42):
I was like, I'm doing it for the bees.
Speaker 3 (01:03:43):
Dude, Yeah, mind your business. You don't have an ho a.
You're fine. They can't get on you.
Speaker 1 (01:03:47):
I do.
Speaker 3 (01:03:48):
Let me tell you, my ajoy will probably have a
ruler in my yard.
Speaker 1 (01:03:50):
Neighboring.
Speaker 3 (01:03:52):
Also, no meat May.
Speaker 1 (01:03:54):
That's another thing I don't know that I'm going to
make it on that one no meat may dot organ.
Speaker 3 (01:04:00):
On that.
Speaker 1 (01:04:00):
Oh yeah, no, guess what I've eaten today. All I've
had today so far is an almond croissant, So I'm
sticking to it. I'm doing well with no meat may.
Speaker 2 (01:04:10):
It's kind of a flex.
Speaker 7 (01:04:10):
You're fasting, fasting by eating an eight hundred calorie criissant
to start my day.
Speaker 2 (01:04:17):
That was like the only thing you had, So I
don't know. I is this?
Speaker 1 (01:04:21):
So wait a minute, when you've told me the past
you were fasting, is this how you were doing fast
I mean technically a thousand calories.
Speaker 2 (01:04:28):
Any amount of time after you eat is technically fasting.
So I mean you're sitting a non NonStop cycle of
fasting if you think about it that way.
Speaker 3 (01:04:35):
So you do have an angle on everything. Yeah, would
you say you never not fast?
Speaker 2 (01:04:42):
I mean I could probably gaslate you in the thinking that.
Speaker 1 (01:04:44):

point three KDWB Withthallon and Colt. We've got the where
we've hit over ten thousand.
Speaker 3 (01:05:56):
Dollars raised today. My Children's going to Settle.
Speaker 1 (01:05:58):
We're so excited we're here and we've been here all afternoon.
Speaker 3 (01:06:02):
A little bit different of a show.
Speaker 1 (01:06:03):
We mix in some normal stuff, but it's all to
raise awareness for the mental health program at Children's and
also to raise some money, as you heard in their
doubling donations today. So when you make a donation, it's
really really exciting because it doubles up and helps great programs,
which like when we're going to talk about right now,
we have a guest joining us, Natasha Stark. She is
(01:06:24):
a music therapist here and Natasha, I feel like everyone
talks about this all the time, like how special music
is to every person. I mean, we see videos all
the time of people hearing a song and it will
it's almost like it takes one back to a different
place and time. It truly is like the I think,
(01:06:46):
the biggest connector that we as humans have. So I
want to talk a little bit about the work you
do here at Children's with music therapy.
Speaker 6 (01:06:56):
Yeah, I mean you're right on, and music is the
greatest connector, right and I get to see that every
single day in my job.
Speaker 8 (01:07:02):
So I'm one of the music therapists.
Speaker 6 (01:07:04):
You're at Children's Minnesota, and I specifically work a lot
with our mental health patients. So I'm down in our
partial hospitalization program in Lakeville, and then I also spend
time here at the Saint Paul Hospital.
Speaker 1 (01:07:15):
So if you're a patient at Childrize, what does that
look like? When do you know you're going to work
with someone and what is that relationship like?
Speaker 6 (01:07:24):
So it's a little different depending on if you're in
the impatient or outpatient setting. So at our partial hospitalization program,
I do groups four times a week down in Lakeville,
and we also have music therapy services in Roseville as well.
So those groups look like creating music, talking about music,
listening to music, all with the goal of focusing on
(01:07:45):
our mental health.
Speaker 8 (01:07:47):
And it could look like.
Speaker 6 (01:07:49):
An instrument lesson, but the goal isn't necessarily to actually
learn the instrument. The goal is self esteem, self expression,
coping skills, all those things that go into mental health treatment.
Speaker 1 (01:08:00):
Right, isn't an interesting you know we were talking about
which another another of your coworkers, there's amazing Rigs.
Speaker 8 (01:08:08):
Yes, my favorite coworker.
Speaker 1 (01:08:10):
It's the things that you don't even realize that this
is something that is helping this. It just seems like
I'm interacting with an amazing dog today. I am listening
to music that I love today, and you don't realize
the way that that is helping you or your teen
with mental health.
Speaker 3 (01:08:28):
It's crazy.
Speaker 8 (01:08:29):
Yeah.
Speaker 6 (01:08:30):
Absolutely. It might look like any other musical interaction. It
might look like a jam session, it might look like karaoke.
But because I'm a board certified music therapist, I have
the skills to design these musical interventions in a way
that meets those mental health goals.
Speaker 2 (01:08:45):
And what's it like? What does it feel like when
you see, like, let's say a kid comes in for
the first time, and then you go through this maybe
it's like a couple weeks or whatever, and then you
really see them start to build the confidence. What is
that feeling like for you?
Speaker 8 (01:08:56):
Oh?
Speaker 6 (01:08:56):
I mean, it's the best feeling in the world. It's
absolutely the reason why do what I do well.
Speaker 1 (01:09:01):
We are raising money today for Children's Minnesota. And if
you're like, who are you talking to? We were just
talking to Natasha Stark. She is a music therapist here
at Children's and she rushed over here from the Minneapolis
campus because we're at Saint Paul today to talk about
this because it's so important to her and to so
many our mental health and our kids mental health. T.
One oh one point three katiewb with Fallon and Cole.
(01:09:23):
We're talking to Natasha Stark because we are live at
Children's Minnesota and we are talking about their mental health
program they offer here, which Cole and I have learned
a lot today also from various people who have joined us.
And Natasha your specialty. You are the music one of
the music therapists here. We're raising money right now. Donations
(01:09:45):
are being doubled, which is fantastic. What does the money
do to help programs like yours here at Children's.
Speaker 6 (01:09:54):
So music therapy, child life. These are services that don't
show up in a patient's bill. They are not charged
to insurance and a patient will never be charged to
receive them. And that means that donations are so important
in order to keep our work going. And know that
if you are giving money to Children's Minnesota today, you
are supporting a holistic version of health, not just the
(01:10:17):
medical treatment, not just standard therapy, not just medications for
a child or teen, but music are expression, right, those
things that really make up a full person's health it's.
Speaker 1 (01:10:32):
Talking to so many different people at Children's today. Really,
you really do see the teamwork that goes into it
and how they look at each person as an individual
and figure out what's best for them. So maybe it
is coming to see you, but maybe it's going to
see this person. Maybe it's doing this, and it's really
so personalized in the way you commit to help families
because the music therapy isn't just for the individual, like
(01:10:52):
this is gonna be like a whole family thing, right.
Speaker 6 (01:10:55):
Absolutely, yeah, Family centered care is really important to all
of the music therapists here. Involving families in all the
musical interactions have is really important.
Speaker 3 (01:11:04):
And you have some favorite artists yourself, right, Oh I do?
Speaker 6 (01:11:08):
Yes?
Speaker 1 (01:11:09):
Yes?
Speaker 2 (01:11:10):
Oh yes, yeah.
Speaker 8 (01:11:11):
Did somebody tell you that I'm a swiftie?
Speaker 3 (01:11:13):
You did?
Speaker 1 (01:11:14):
We guarantee that Swifty like some swifty action is going
to be involved in some of these music there.
Speaker 3 (01:11:20):
I heard maybe Scissa as well.
Speaker 6 (01:11:22):
Oh yeah, I do love Sizza, so I yeah, personally
my personal preferences.
Speaker 8 (01:11:27):
I love Taylor Swift.
Speaker 6 (01:11:29):
But the wonderful thing about doing music therapy is that
I'm rarely to never choosing the music for these patients.
They are telling me what kind of music they like,
and then I'm figuring out how to use that music
