The Big Heart Journey With Taes Leavitt This Is Your Strange and Beautiful Life

    • Arts

Taes (Tess) Leavitt is known and loved as the founder of The Big Heart Journey and “Boots” in the wildly popular children’s music duo, “Splashnboots.” She is also my darling and extraordinary big sister. Friends and fans of Taes can rejoice in this VIP, family-friendly episode. Sister-to-sister, we talk about:

What it’s like to grow up in the metropolis of Perth, Ontario: Why Taes developed a case of Special Person Syndrome, and how to take the pressure off the drive to excel and be perfect.

Memories of high school drama club, and why Taes did not grow up to become an opera singer.

The true story of Splashnboots: How the two-time Juno winners used to be married, but then they realized this was not quite the right thing, so they got divorced, and guess what? Sometimes, divorce is excellent news.

The beautiful story of the Big Heart Journey: How Taes discovered mindfulness and immediately wanted to share the practice with children. How she was inspired to create a welcoming space where children can learn how to move through their big feelings.

Listener Question from Missing Grandma: Hear some of Taes’s Big Heart Journey tips for a mother whose child is struggling with the recent loss of her grandmother.

Plus, get the inside scoop on celebrity morning routines, cleaning routines, and Taes’s secrets for getting through transitions with reasonable serenity. My sister is a miracle. What a blessing that she made it onto the show.
