S5 E5 Understanding PANDAS with Dr. Sarah O'Dor
In this episode, we discuss a rare pediatric condition known as PANDAS - Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections. PANDAS is a phenomenon when a child has a spontaneous manifestation of psychiatric issues following a strep infection. The field has only recently started to research and understand this condition over the past few decades. Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) is a core feature of PANDAS, among others such as vocal or motor tics, that comes on suddenly and has a strong impact on the child’s life.
Dr. Sarah O’Dor is an Instructor in Psychiatry at Harvard Medical School and the Director of Research at the Pediatric Neuropsychiatry and Immunology Program at Massachusetts General Hospital, otherwise known as the “PANDAS Clinic.” Dr. O’Dor’s research seeks to identify the underlying biological causes, treatments, and mediating factors for recovery in childhood mental disorders. For the past 7 years, her work has focused on pediatric neuropsychiatric disorders, including Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder (OCD), mood disorders, and PANDAS. Her findings have resulted in several peer-reviewed journal articles and book chapters about childhood mental disorders. Dr. O’Dor contributions to the field of psychology and psychiatry have been recognized by organizations such as the American Psychological Foundation, the Anxiety and Depression Association of America, and the International OCD Foundation. Dr. O’Dor is also a Licensed Clinical Psychologist and has a private practice in the Boston suburbs specializing in psychological and neuropsychological assessments for children through young adults.

S4 E8: A Nuanced Discussion About Focus and Attention w/ Dr. Gloria Mark
On any given day we may hear about the benefits of honing attention, paying attention, and being focused. Oftentimes, these comments are related to productivity, learning, or engagement at work, school, or in other aspects of life. However, how often do we discuss and define what attention means? Do we have an awareness of what may get in the way of our attention?
Attention and focus can be fleeting experiences that are influenced by so many different factors in life, especially technology. In this episode, Alexis & Jerry are joined by the research scientist and psychologist, Dr. Gloria Mark. In her recent book, Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness and Productivity, Dr. Mark chronicles the numerous research studies and work she has conducted on attention in an engaging and helpful way. In this discussion we tackle topics of multitasking, kinetic attention, the emotion and stress related to attention, and so much more.

Executive function skills are commonly known as the skills that allow us to get things done… and are also often misunderstood.

Part one discusses the neurodevelopment of executive functions and part two provides actionable suggestions to tweak or intentionally build supports into any learning environment.
In this episode Gerald interviews his sister and co-host Alexis Reid along with her co-author, Dr. Lisa Carey about their intention for writing and getting this book out into the world and the benefits of reading this book. We all hope it reaches, teaches, and supports many!

S4 E5: “Parenting Children with ADHD through Connection.”
Raising children is a role that requires so much - understanding, flexibility, planfulness, love, consistency, responsiveness, care, and so much more. We believe it is one of the most admirable roles that we can take on, the pursuit of raising happy and healthy children (whether a parent, caregiver, educator, coach, mentor, family member). In this episode, we share a nuanced discussion about how to support children with attentional and related differences, such as ADHD.
Recognizing and understanding the challenges that are present is the first step, whether it’s attentional challenges or executive functioning vulnerabilities. However, in this episode we talk about how connection is a key component when raising and interacting with children who have neurodiverse profiles. We provide examples of ways in which connection can be built into the strategies and interventions that parents can utilize when guiding, responding to, and supporting their child with ADHD.

Bullying is a term that has become commonly used as a part of conversations among young people and their peers both in real life and online. In the past few decades there has been an uptick in recognizing, researching, and naming bullying in public and private sectors while striving to support those who have been impacted by the aggressive behaviors related to bullying and peer victimization. This is especially prevalent in schools as the CDC currently reports that 1 in 5 teenagers report being bullied in school and 1 in 6 teenagers report being bullied online. That percentage increases when we discuss students who are a minority in their community. Most schools will report that they have some kind of anti-bullying precedent or curriculum, but repeated perpetrations and the damage caused by such behaviors still remains.
Episode 3 of Season 4 provides a very nuanced and detailed discussion about the topic of childhood bullying. In this episode, Jerry and I are joined by Boston University professors and bullying prevention experts, Melissa Holt, Ph.D and Jennifer Greif Green, Ph.D. Topics discussed include clarifying what bullying is and is not, what contributes to kids bullying their peers, how bullying could affect an individual, and how we can help children who are involved in bullying either as a perpetrator or a target. Drs. Holt and Green were Jerry’s mentors during his time at BU during his doctoral training and this episode is a testament to their work together as it comes full circle in the discussion of bullying research.

S4 E2: Exploring Music as Connection w/ Recording Artist & Performer Will Dailey
Some may say that musicians are inspired by creativity, but we believe that they establish a connection within themselves and to those who listen, appreciate, and join them in the experience of creating and sharing music. From a connection deep within, creativity may spark and cause a chain reaction that has the potential to reach many. In this episode Jerry and Alexis are joined by recording artist and a Boston music scene favorite hometown rockstar, WIll Dailey.
Will is not just a musician, but also an artist advocate and someone who’s empathy and connection to his work inspires and supports others. In this episode we traverse many different topics and ideas ranging from his path to creating music, talking about creativity and expression- not only creating music, but figuring out new and creative ways to share music in different ways, his podcast Sound of our Town, what’s next in his career, and so much more. This is a spirited conversation full of amazing stories, incredible connections, and a little humor sprinkled along the way. Listen through to the end to catch Will acoustically perform his song “The Submariner”.

Season 4 is all about connection - connection with others, connection with something outside of yourself, and connection with yourself. To start off the new season, Jerry and Alexis were thrilled to have critically acclaimed singer-songwriter, Hayley Reardon, join us in studio to talk about her connection with song - writing songs, producing original music, and sharing her songs in performances. Hayley takes us on her musical journey, starting at a young age growing up in a north shore coastal town of Massachusetts. We discuss the experiences that inspire songs, the creative process that Hayley goes through when developing a song, and what it’s like to share her creations with others on stage and with the world.
Raised in a coastal Massachusetts town north of Boston, Hayley Reardon is a critically acclaimed folk-pop singer and songwriter. She is a storyteller in the truest sense of the word. Her songs serve as postcards from an artist brave enough to take the road less traveled. Reardon dove head first into music at the young age of 15, and has spent much of the past decade writing, recording, and performing music around the world. Reardon’s songs have been featured on multiple Spotify editorial playlists and Apple Music playlists, with over 7 million streams on Apple Music alone. She has shared the stage with renowned artists including Lori McKenna, Rodney Crowell, and Anaïs (ah-niiice) Mitchell, among others.
She spent three years based in Nashville and much of the past six years carrying her songs and stories all over the globe — including a six-month artist-in-residency stay in Dachau, Germany — gathering experiences, inspiration and soulful connections.
Her most recent profound EP’s, In the Good Light and Changes, were recorded in Barcelona with Catalan collaborators Pau Figueres (producer and one of Spain’s premiere instrumentalists) and Aniol Bestit Collellimir (recording engineer). Visit www.HayleyReardon.com for a full bio, photos, tour info, and links to her music. Her recent live album, Live at Starseed Studios, is available online on all streaming platforms, and the video recording is also available via Atwood Magazine online: Hayley Reardon Is Intimate, Up-Close & Personal on 'Live at Starseed Studios' - Atwood Magazine
