Advice from Mom

In this second installment of our special MAYtriarchy series, we explore mothering change in the tech world with Bloomberg Technology anchor, Emily Chang, in conversation with her own mother, Sandy. In her recent book, "Brotopia," Emily sheds light on the treatment of female technology professionals. We discuss Emily’s campaign for workplace equality, how Sandy combats her daughter’s book trolls, and the best advice Emily ever got from Sheryl Sandberg. Emily Chang is the anchor and executive producer of Bloomberg Technology, a daily TV show focused on global technology and Bloomberg Studio 1.0, where she regularly speaks to top executives, investors, and entrepreneurs. She was previously a CNN correspondent based in Beijing and London, and has won five regional Emmy awards for her reporting. Her work has also appeared in Vanity Fair and Bloomberg Businessweek. Emily is a graduate of Harvard University and lives in San Francisco with her husband and three children. Sandy Chang is a proud mom, grandmother, and writing teacher. She was born in Philadelphia, the middle child in a family of seven. She worked on Capitol Hill as a legislative writer while earning her Master's Degree at Georgetown University. That's where she met her late husband, a law student from Hawaii. They moved back to his hometown where they raised two daughters. Sandy has taught for three decades first at Punahou School in Honolulu and now at a private school in The Bay Area where she enjoys being closer to her children and grandchildren. .·:*'`*:·..·:*'`*:·.·:*'`*:·..·:*'`*:·.·:*'`*:·.

To kick off our May series on mothering social change, what could be more fitting than to re-examine how we think about motherhood and mental health?

Who said breaking up with your therapist can't be fun? Fine, I'll say it: breaking up with a therapist is NOT fun. It could be such a yuck of a time that you might stay in therapy for years just to avoid this un-fun interaction. But that doesn't mean that a seasoned psychologist and her detective-loving daughter can't offer you some tips and entertainment while you prepare for such a task. Advice from Mom takes real-life questions and stories from our listeners and like one might with a cheese cloth, we squeeze out the mental health advice and takeaway tips so we can help you improve your experience. And on today's episode, we are bringing our can-do attitude to a tough task—getting out of therapy. Whether you want to slink, saunter, or stomp out of therapy, Dr. Momma B PhD is here to help. How do you know it is time to leave your therapist? What should you do if your therapist acts inappropriately? And what if your therapist is making it difficult for you to end therapy with them? Back by popular demand, this is the third installment of our baby-steps special series on the how-tos of therapy. Whether you want to slink, saunter, or stomp out of therapy, Dr. Momma B is here to help. We will also hear a first hand account of therapist trouble (in three acts!) from Jennifer Judkins from the podcast, The Ripple. .·:*'`*:·..·:*'`*:·.·:*'`*:·..·:*'`*:·.·:*'`*:·.
