Here at Raise the Room we're trying to deal with the journey of parenthood in a conscious way, but not in an 'I take myself too seriously' kind of way. There has got to be some humour and levity, otherwise none of us will survive it! I'm your host Danica, I'm a teacher, mother, intuitive and Human Design Reader. This also means I weave Human Design into the show any chance I can, as it has helped me understand myself and my family dynamic, immensely. Remember, you bring so much to the table, that you will always, raise the room.

    Screen Time. Wtf to do.

    Screen Time. Wtf to do.

    Today we go there...the dreaded discussion about screen time. In this solo episode I delve into both the research and my own personal experiences and opinions on the topic of screen time and our children. We go over the do's and dont's, what it does to our children's brains, the aspirational and the realistic boundaries to set, and more.

    Did you just fight with your kids?? Did you just lose it on them? Then you are in the right place. This unique episode of Raise the Room is a 20 minute meditation with the theme of Repair. We must first repair with ourselves, and then hopefully we can get some clarity on how to repair with our kids.

    My Fave Parenting Tools for BIG FEELINGS

    My Fave Parenting Tools for BIG FEELINGS

    Ah yes, BIG FEELINGS..we know them well as parents, don't we? Did you happen to unwrap the snack that they asked you to unwrap and now they're having a tantrum about it?? Today's episode is here to help us handle those moments. I share a handful of my favourite parenting tools to help us navigate our children's big feelings like a champ. Though it should be stated, these 'tools' might not be exactly what you're thinking about. This is because we know in long-game parenting, the quick fixes are few and far between.

    Wildcard Mini Episode

    Wildcard Mini Episode

    Today's mini episode is a little life update from me and quite honestly, a ramble. I talk about my upcoming move, where my head is at with parenting through this transition, and my health/body image lately.
    I also note how the podcast might be a little inconsistent and/or messy over the next couple of months while we potentially buy, sell and relocate our family to a new town!
