    Today, so many people of all ages are dealing with burnout and mental health issues. Children are met with high expectations that are often too much to bear. Adults struggle to stay motivated in careers they are not passionate about. Learning how to find comfort and get through hard times is essential, especially amidst a global pandemic, but so is listening to your internal voice when it tells you it’s time to make a change.
     
    In this episode, we speak with life coach and musician Morgan Beard about her journey through depression, job burnout, and making a transformational move across the country. Morgan shares how helpful therapy has been to her, what lead her to art therapy as a profession, and eventually to becoming a life coach. We also talk about her new therapeutic pop EP titled ‘Ele.mental’.

    Morgan Beard is a creative life coach who works with clients both online and in person. She earned her Masters in Art Therapy from the School of Visual Arts in New York City in 2017. After graduation, she worked in a nursing home as an art therapist. The work environment was toxic and depressing, which lead to burnout.
     
    In 2018, she moved from New York City to Los Angeles with a mission to start over. Eventually, she started a life coaching business, where she is thriving and happier than ever. She decided to pursue her first passion, which is music.

    Giving Sunshine with Jason Clawson

    Giving Sunshine with Jason Clawson

    In this episode, we speak with Jason Clawson and get a dad’s perspective for the first time on this podcast. He shares how his family took a horrible tragedy and turned it into something good.
     
    Four years ago, Jason felt like his life was going right and that he and his family were living the life they were meant to live. They were building their dream house, he was a clinical director at a recovery program, his young boys were thriving, and his 40-year old brother finally got married. His wife had also lost 100 lbs. after having weight loss surgery and was feeling amazing.
     
    A month after his brother’s wedding, his wife found a lump in her stomach that was growing. They began a journey of talking to doctors about what was going on, and they were stumped. Their life was on hold as they waited for answers. One day, they received a call that his wife should consult an oncology surgeon because she had spots throughout her body.
     
    His wife underwent exploratory surgery with a partial hysterectomy where the surgeon found a large lump near her colon. The surgeon told Jason that his wife had stage four colon cancer.
     
    This moment was life-changing. He couldn’t believe that this was happening to them. His mind began to race about how their family would navigate this. The surgeon told him something that he will never forget, that cancer has a way of enhancing your life and you will get through this. He was stunned in the moment and angry about this for years.
     
    This experience was the hardest that they would have to go through in their lives. As he is going through this, he had to show up for clients at work and be the best for them. When he got home, he took care of his wife and children. By the end of the night, he was exhausted. But he knew that this is what he was supposed to do, no matter how hard it was.
     
    Even though his wife was given two to three years to live, nine months later his wife passed away. When the funeral was over, he realized that this was the time that he needed his family to rally around him and support him. He and his five and eleven-year-old boys were all struggling and he felt like there was nothing he could do to make everything better.
     
    Jason decided that he wasn’t going to wait around until things got better. He wanted to show his children how to get through this experience and to grieve in a healthy and happy way. He texted 13 people in his circle and shared his struggles and asked for help. They showed up and wanted to help him.
     
    After this, life became a little easier. They created a system where he could reach out for support with just one word. His support team was grateful for the opportunity to help him heal and checked in with him regularly. He realized that people wanted to help but just didn’t know how to do so.
     
    He ended up quitting his job for the summer and dedicated it to creating happy memories with his boys. They created a bucket list of activities and one of those was putting together sunshine baskets that they could deliver to anyone who had lost a loved one. They helped others grieve while they grieved too.
     
    Today, they have delivered sunshine baskets in 24 states and created a cause called Giving Sunshine. They launched a Kickstarter so they can reach more people with what Jason calls “therapy in a box”.
     
    Discussed in this episode:
    Going through difficult experiences
    Checking in on the caregiver
    Supporting family after a death
    Children struggling with loss
    Asking for help
    Creating a healing circle
    Being vulnerable
    Looking for opportunities to help
    Being a hybrid dad
    Sunshine baskets
    Looking for happy things
    Paying it forward
    Community and connection
    How males deal with emotion
    And other topics...

    To Prime or Not to Prime?

    Moms, we are busy! Am I right? Between getting the kids to school on time, making dinner, and taking care of a million other things, it's hard to find the time to go to the store. Amazon Prime has made it a lot easier for us moms to get what we need without leaving the house. But is Amazon Prime worth it? 
    This week we are talking about the pros and cons of using Amazon Prime instead of going to the store. We are also talking about store pick-up and giving you the perspectives of Laci, Ellen, and Crystal, who all have different views.

    Kids Eat in Color with Jennifer Anderson

    Kids Eat in Color with Jennifer Anderson

    We have an awesome show for you this week! Jennifer Anderson from Kids Eat in Color is here. She is talking about all things feeding kids! Jennifer started out on Instagram wanting to connect with other moms who were struggling to feed their kids a well rounded diet. Her community grew and so did her knowledge, and before she knew it she had 1.6 million followers! 
    How did my kid become a picky eater despite my best effort with baby-led weaning? Jennifer drops a truth bomb on us…its a myth. Laci wonders why her kids are picky eaters and it might just have something to do with genetics. We love Jennifer’s explanation of this!
    What is an extremely picky eater? Crystal tells the story about her daughter not eating anything at preschool for a year! Jennifer explains how to help a child branch out from the few foods they will eat to be able to adapt to new foods. One day they like a food, the next they don’t, the foods can’t touch, the foods need to be mixed…help! 
    I had a great eater and now they are two and won’t eat anything! Do you have a healthy foundation? It starts with taking the pressure off of your kid. Instead, focus on coming together and giving your kid the food or foods they will eat. Keep the pressure low by having the new food on the table. It's there, they see it, and eventually, they might try it!
    What is an age appropriate amount of time at the table? Hint - it’s probably short. Jennifer’s tip is to start with a timer. Set it to a small amount of time and move the timer up to find the max attention span. When you’re done, you’re done!
    The dreaded snacking… Ellen discusses her struggles with snacks at home, what she offers, and how this interferes with mealtime. What’s the best solution? Jennifer breaks this down… its a cultural thing in the U.S. and in fact too much snacking can interfere with their natural hunger cues. Tune in to hear her best tips! 
    Jennifer talks about the Women, Infants, and Children (WIC) program and how this public health initiative is helping families thrive. She addresses some common misconceptions about WIC and how this program can be best utilized. 
    What is a food desert? Simply put, it is a lack of access to a variety of healthy foods. This can be urban or rural. Jennifer breaks down the dynamics that make up a food desert and explains the misconceptions around poverty. 
    Everyone is sick. It’s that time of the year. How do I keep my kid as healthy as possible? Jennifer talks about how important hydration is. She explains that kids will lose their appetite when they are sick, but keeping them hydrated is key. Their appetite will come back. Ease back into their normal diet and avoid any special diet or new foods. Hear her opinion on elderberry! 
    So many nuggets of info on this episode!

    Breaking the Parenting Cycles with Bonnie Lenz

    Breaking the Parenting Cycles with Bonnie Lenz

    Hey moms and parents! Bonnie Lenz is here, coming to talk with you about something important. It's something that many of us struggle with, and it can be tough to break the cycles of bad parenting we may have grown up with. But it's definitely worth trying to do better for our kids. So let's get started!
    There is a lot of pressure on parents to do things "the right way." But what if the right way isn't actually working? In this episode, we'll be discussing how mainstream parenting techniques aren't always practical and how alternative methods could be more beneficial for families. 
    Bonnie is a survivor of child abuse and emotional abuse as an adult. She has three amazing children with her supportive husband Cory. Bonnie’s children are her best teachers and they have inspired a lot of her healing and passions.
    After years of healing, and with loving support, Bonnie was able to set a freeing boundary in 2020, and shortly after that, she was inspired to create The Sunflower Parent Movement which launched on Mother’s Day of last year. She wanted to help those who are parenting break unhealthy cycles, raise awareness about evidence-based parenting, and advocate for abuse awareness and prevention. 
    She has come to believe that conscious, respectful, and positive parenting practices hold the key to ending generational cycles of trauma that contribute to abuse prevention.
    Bonnie is a Registered Nurse and wanted to help others, but was being a people pleaser, blamed herself, and found that nursing took a big emotional burden on her. She turned gears and started a nonprofit in the hopes of helping others through counseling, coaching, and various resources. 
    Mainstream parenting goes against what may be developmentally appropriate. Bonnie explains how there is a lack of understanding surrounding childhood development and parenting through those stages.
    Bonnie tells us that mainstream parenting isn’t backed by evidence nor is it effective. The ladies discuss spanking and how using spanking can be a cycle as it’s passed down from previous generations. 
    Bonnie discusses looking for the unmet need in your child - creating safety (remove the child from the situation), observing what you see, validating feelings, and fulfilling the need that the child seeks. She also gives us some great tips on co-regulation!
    Ellen explores her childhood and relates that to how she is a parent today. She tells how her culture didn’t allow emotion and how she has changed that with her kids. Bonnie adds how we can easily react poorly when we as adults aren’t regulated. She encourages us that it’s ok to feel. 
    Crystal and Laci mention how this episode has brought up a lot of thoughts and questions related to their childhood. Perhaps it will do the same for you and be a starting point to great discussions. We would love to hear your feedback! Messages us on IG.
