    EP#09: Youth-Driven Environmentalism with Kyle Empringham

    I’m your host Manda Aufochs Gillespie and this is the Raising Greener Teens podcast. Where we as parents take all the curiosity, self-empowerment, and other parenting tools that got us this far and apply them to understanding our teenagers better and hopefully shepherd them to becoming curious, self-empowered, caring and courageous citizens of the future. On Today’s episode I interview author, podcast host, and Fertility educator Lisa Hendrickson Jack about all things fertility and your teen. And we ask: What is your teen not learning in sex ed?

    About the Episode:
    What does the everyday environmentalist think about what it takes these days to raise teenagers to be the future citizens the world needs. What’s important for parents, aunties and uncles, and others to consider when we go to these years beyond the days of parental control and move more towards influencing future adults.

    EP#08: How the Ancient Wisdom of Ayurveda Can Support Today’s Modern Families and Teenagers with Muneera Wallace
    Jul 27 2022
    Raising Greener Teens is a part of the EcoParent Podcast Network: https://www.ecoparent.ca/podcasts

    About the Episode:
    IN this episode Muneera shows us how the Ancient wisdom of Ayurveda can provide guidance for supporting today’s modern teenager.

    Ayurveda examines health and systems through an understanding of the five elements and the way they combine in three dosas: Vata, Pitta, and Kapha. Each individual will have their own primary dosha and there are different times of day, year, and a lifetime more influenced by each particular dosha. The teenage years are particularly influenced by the fire and water elements associated with pitta. Muneera discusses diet, daily rhythm, healthy eating, and practical ways to handle stress gleaned from her years using Ayurveda with clients and her own family and teenagers.

    Listen in and see how this ancient wisdom can be applicable to our modern times and teens.
