Transcribe →Let’s Discuss “Whiny Women,” Women’s Health, and the Hantavirus
3w ago01:22:09Tap to summarizeWelcome to this week’s episode of Schauer Thoughts, we are continuing our discussion of May health observances, as well as why I think “whiny women” is the most IRONIC label and we’ll also be touching on the emerging Hantavirus outbreak. Please make sure to check out all the resources below, it is important to stay informed *especially* as an American, considering *gestures to current administration.* I just want to take the time to say, if you have chronic pain, I absolutely believe you. The world has been cruel and made you hide, belittled you, gaslit you, and that is a massive load of BS. It is cruel, unfair, and outright wrong - I am sending you support, resources, and will continue researching and speaking out because no one should ever have to “suck it up.” Also, the part about getting advised by a group of people with pain medication addictions is a joking suggestion. However, it would behoove everyone to get acquainted with the addiction community, seeing as how a lot of these conversations involve us but do not actually involve us as individuals. ● Download Hily Dating App from the App Store or Google Play, or visit https://hily.go.link/jRMKW — Book Resources — Tell Me Where It Hurts: The New Science of Pain and How to Heal - Rachel Zoffness, PhD ADHD: Body and Mind: A Compassionate Guide to Rewilding Your Nervous System with Neuroscience, Nutrition, and Gut-Brain Health - Dr. Miguel Toribio-Mateas An Elegant Defense: The Extraordinary New Science of the Immune System - Matt Richtel Attention: Beyond Mindfulness - Gay Watson Organ Speak: What It Really Means to Listen to Our Bodies - Giulia Enders — “Whiny Woman” & Laryngeal Manifestations Resources — The Whiny Woman, written by Dr. Mary Claire Haver, MD Role of the periaqueductal grey in vocal expression of emotion The role of the periaqueductal grey in vocal behavior Chronic Pain Syndromes and Their Laryngeal Manifestations Laryngeal Involvement in Connective Tissue Disorders.

I sincerely apologize for getting derailed last week, hopefully this week’s episode shows you guys that I am course correcting and making up for the delay.

Transcribe →Going Analog is a Safe Bet
Apr 101:17:22Tap to summarizeThis week on Schauer Thoughts we’re discussing two rising trends: going analog and online gambling! These near-anagrams are causing quite the concern so we’re pulling back the Schauer curtain to take a better look at the nasty bits while also addressing solutions to scummy business practices. This is a judgement free zone - if you are struggling with any addiction issues I’ve linked resources below. Also as someone who has gotten sober (albeit after 10+ tries) I would strongly encourage you give yourself some grace. Grace is not forgiveness, it’s freedom of movement, and considering that people with addictions often hide away, grace is necessary to come out into the light and see hope on the horizon.

Mar 2501:26:56Tap to summarizeHappy Women’s History Month! This week we’re discussing the wonderful women of STEAM (yes, we include the arts here) that have had their work stolen, co-opted, or overlooked by men and the dominant culture. Thank you to all the women in academia, research, creative fields, business, politics, etc. who persist, push back, and put men in check - I absolutely cannot wait to read your stories and studies, I know they’ll be *chefs kiss.* I know I mispronounced a lot in this episode, as always feel free to shoot me a DM or comment with correct pronunciation, I really do appreciate the help. Also yes, I meant to say “retrograde menstruation” not “reverse menstruation” - the world simply escaped me.
