Joy Found Here stephanie martinez rivera

When was the last time you took your inner child to the park?
In today's episode, I'm joined by Jonna Watson, School Psychologist, Momma bear of four, Podcaster, and children's book Author. Despite her innate love for crafting stories and participating in countless writing competitions as a child, Jonna sank into the endless to-do lists of adulthood and simply stopped writing. After much self-development and healing, Jonna brought back her old self, unearthed her writing habits, and reconnected with her inner child.
Throughout this episode, you'll hear about Jonna's healing journey, her work to reconnect with her inner child, and her passion for teaching social concepts to kids through her books. You'll also hear Jonna's thoughts on the power of creative expression as a teaching tool, the intentional use of our time, and the importance of being mindful of our limits and boundaries.
Additionally, Jonna talks about her books, the stories in her personal life that inspired them, connecting with our five senses to disconnect from stressors, the importance of giving ourselves permission to fail and be messy, and much more.
