4 SEP 2024 · Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow and guest Cathy Gagliardi dive deep into a topic that holds immense significance in today's world - giving children, especially neurodivergent children with learning disabilities, a voice.
Cathy introduces her groundbreaking BELLYFLIES method, a unique approach that utilizes metaphors and figurative language to help children express their emotions when they may struggle to find the right words. The method specifically targets children aged 0 to 6, as research suggests that they are more receptive to learning at a young age.
Throughout the conversation, Gabrielle and Cathy shed light on the prevalence of anxiety and depression in neurodivergent children and the pressing need for effective communication strategies. Cathy shares a deeply personal experience that led her to create the BELLYFLIES method and write a children's book. The motivation behind her work stems from the frustration parents often encounter when their children are unable to effectively communicate their needs, leading to outbursts and even more severe consequences.
The episode emphasizes the significance of providing neurodivergent children with a voice and empowering them to develop emotional resilience. It highlights the importance of pre-planning and support systems to prevent challenging situations and foster healthy communication between parents and their children.
Cathy's BELLYFLIES method acts as a bridge, improving understanding and connection between parents and neurodivergent children. By acknowledging and validating a child's emotions, providing choices for calming down, and utilizing figurative language, parents can help their children navigate their emotions more effectively.
The conversation draws parallels to the use of visual aids in doctor's offices, which assist children in communicating their pain levels. Open communication between parents and children is emphasized as a crucial factor in promoting emotional well-being and preventing mental health issues.
Parents are encouraged to create safe and supportive environments where their children can express their emotions freely and seek help when needed. By implementing the strategies and insights shared by Cathy, parents of neurodivergent children can support their emotional well-being and enhance their communication skills.
This episode is a must-listen for anyone seeking to understand the challenges faced by neurodivergent children and the importance of giving them a voice. Join us as we explore the transformative power of the BELLYFLIES method and learn how we can create a more inclusive and compassionate world for all children.
Who is Cathy Gagliardi?
As a #1 Best Selling Author and Illustrator of children’s books, Cathy has been able to donate her books to Ronald McDonald House, Little Libraries, schools, and families in need locally and internationally. Her involvement with Costa Rican and Guatemalan schools and communities has enriched her understanding of children’s emotional well-being.

14 AUG 2024 · Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, Gabrielle Crichlow engages in a thought-provoking conversation with Sameer Dossani, a returning guest who shares his personal journey of transitioning from a vegan lifestyle to embracing an animal-based diet. They delve into the motivations behind Sameer's decision, exploring how this shift has positively impacted his overall well-being.
Sameer opens up about his experience of transitioning from a vegan diet to incorporating animal foods into his own eating habits. He sheds light on the various factors that influenced his decision, including extensive research on health and nutrition, as well as eye-opening interactions with farming communities that challenged his long-held beliefs about vegetarianism.
Drawing from his own experiences, Sameer presents compelling arguments suggesting that humans are naturally omnivores and raises concerns about the potential presence of anti-nutrients in plant foods that could have detrimental effects on the body. Moreover, he highlights existing evidence supporting the effectiveness of meat-based diets in reversing chronic diseases, such as diabetes. However, Sameer is careful to emphasize that as a health coach, he adopts a client-led approach, respecting individual preferences and only recommending the introduction of animal foods for clients seeking to address specific health concerns like autoimmune diseases, hormone imbalances, or overall health improvement.
This podcast episode challenges the prevailing belief that a plant-based diet is always the healthiest option, offering listeners an alternative perspective on the role of animal foods in achieving optimal health and wellness. It provides valuable insights into different dietary approaches and their potential effects on digestion and overall well-being. Throughout their conversation, Sameer and Gabrielle also shed light on the potential limitations of plant-based diets and emphasize the importance of protein in the healing process and maintaining muscle mass, particularly as individuals age.

24 JUL 2024 · Welcome to Hot Topics! In this episode, host Gabrielle Crichlow explores the intersection of addiction and mental health with guest Larissa Valeriano. They delve into the connection between these two issues and discuss how substance use often serves as a coping mechanism for underlying mental health issues. Larissa emphasizes the importance of a comprehensive treatment approach that addresses both addiction and mental health simultaneously, rather than treating addiction as a temporary solution.
Larissa highlights the development of negative core beliefs stemming from unmet emotional needs and how these beliefs can lead to negative thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, including substance use. She emphasizes the need for incorporating a relapse prevention plan for addiction and inner child work to address these core wounds.
The conversation also explores the role of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) in addressing addiction by challenging negative thoughts and beliefs. Larissa emphasizes the significance of changing one's environment and thought processes to support recovery.
Throughout the episode, Larissa emphasizes that addiction and mental health issues can affect individuals from all backgrounds and socioeconomic statuses. She highlights the universal nature of these issues, with clients ranging from teenagers to older adults.
Overall, this episode underscores the importance of self-validation, positive self-talk, and cognitive restructuring in therapy to address addiction and promote recovery. It offers valuable insights into the intersection of addiction and mental health and highlights the comprehensive services and support provided by Continuum Outpatient, a mental health and addiction services organization based in Texas.

Larissa Valeriano brings a comprehensive approach to treatment to clients. As the Clinical Director with a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and an LPC Associate license, Larissa’s approach to solutions and outcomes is rooted in connections, vulnerability, servant leadership, and adding value to others.
