  • Every Mile Matters: Jeffrey Reynolds on Resilience, Cancer, and Hope
    Oct 5 2025

    In this inspiring conversation, Jeffrey Reynolds, author of Every Mile Matters, shares his deeply personal journey through cancer and the lessons he’s learned about resilience along the way. Together, we explore what it truly means to be resilient—embracing acceptance, cultivating a positive mindset, practicing gratitude, learning to accept help, leaning on spirituality, and finding the inner strength to keep moving forward even when the road is tough.

    Jeffrey draws powerful parallels between his experiences as an endurance athlete—running marathons, competing in triathlons, and achieving Ironman status—and the fight against cancer. Just as every mile of a race requires perseverance, so too does every step of survival. His story is a reminder that every mile matters, both on the course and in life.

    About Jeffrey Reynolds Jeffrey Reynolds, PhD, is the President and CEO of the Family and Children’s Association on Long Island, one of the region’s oldest and largest nonprofit organizations serving vulnerable children, families, seniors, and communities in need. A passionate leader and advocate, he brings both his professional expertise and personal story to inspire others to face life’s greatest challenges with courage and determination.

  • More Than Anxiety: Understanding PANS/PANDAS
    Sep 21 2025
    Stacy and Heather chat with Renee Haber, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who specializes in treating PANS (Pediatric Acute-Onset Neuropsychiatric Syndrome) and PANDAS (Pediatric Autoimmune Neuropsychiatric Disorders Associated with Streptococcal Infections). PANS/PANDAS is a neuroimmune condition where infections in the body can trigger sudden, severe psychiatric symptoms—often misdiagnosed as anxiety, depression, OCD, and other mental health disorders. Renee explains how she works therapeutically with children and families while guiding them to the right physicians for accurate screening and treatment, what parents, educators, and clinicians need to look for, and why early recognition is essential for positive outcomes. If you or someone you know has ever faced a sudden onset of mental health symptoms that didn’t quite add up, this conversation could provide the missing piece.

  • Leave “Them” Alone: Tackling The Pronoun Debate
    Sep 7 2025

    In this episode, we dive into the cultural conversation around gender identity and the growing use of they/them pronouns. Why are kids pushing back against traditional gender roles? Why does it spark so much fear and resistance from parents? And what does it actually mean when a young person is exploring their identity outside of old binaries? We unpack the anxieties, the myths, and the realities behind this shift, while asking: how can families respond in ways that encourage authenticity instead of fear? This isn’t just about pronouns—it’s about breaking free from indoctrination, rethinking identity, and allowing kids to find themselves in a rapidly changing world.

    Disclaimer: When discussing cases, Stacy and Heather will change details around to hide identities of patients so it is not possible to detect who they are discussing, keeping things vague and partially fiction for privacy compliance.
