    Choosing Softness, Imagination, and Sanctuary to Heal Trauma

    In this heartfelt episode of *Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Nurturing Through Adversity*, host Laura Brazan, welcomes Ellie Moss, creator of the whimsical world of Lickity Pop, to explore the healing power of softness and sanctuary for families navigating trauma. Drawing on personal experience and creative resilience, Ellie Moss shares how she built Lickity Pop—not from a business plan, but as a survival strategy to soothe overwhelmed minds and restore nervous systems stretched thin. Together, Laura Brazan and Ellie discuss why quiet imagination is a strategic tool for caregivers, especially grandparents raising their grandchildren after traumatic events. They touch on sensory architecture in the home, the importance of gentle communication for neurodivergent children, and how magical story worlds like Lickity Pop offer restorative escapes for both kids and adults. You’ll learn practical tips for lowering sensory input, fostering predictable routines, and creating safe spaces—even cozy corners—for emotional decompression. The episode is a celebration of the everyday magic that helps families reconnect, heal, and avoid burnout. Whether you’re grappling with loud chaos or seeking new ways to build connection, this conversation invites you to choose softness over volume, and wonder over exhaustion.

    Leading Through Grief- How to Integrate Family Crisis and Leadership Vision

    What happens when a visionary leader is brought to their knees by a family crisis? In this heartfelt episode, Laura Brazan welcomes Brad Hoffman, pastor and grandparent raising his grandchildren after the loss of his daughter, to explore the transformational power of integrating personal adversity with leadership. Together, they discuss the unique challenges grandparents face as primary caregivers, reveal practical strategies for self-care, and unpack the shifting nature of identity after trauma. This episode dives into reframing success, the importance of presence over productivity, and the necessity of dreaming even in hard seasons. The conversation tackles why leaders must move past compartmentalization, develop a “theology of weakness,” and embrace vulnerability as a core leadership strength.

    Auditing Time and Sanity for Grandparents Raising Grandchildren

    Are you a single grandparent shouldering the full weight of raising your grandchildren? Are you constantly battling daily chaos—laundry piles, endless paperwork, and legal hurdles—while sacrificing your own sanity? Do you wonder if there’s a better way to manage the relentless demands of kinship care, or fear you’re failing at the logistics behind the love? I'm Laura Brazan, and after years of navigating trauma, court dates, and school forms, I learned it’s not a personal failing—it’s a broken system. In this 100th episode of "Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Nurturing Through Adversity," systems expert Pat Hankin joins me to reveal actionable, fact-based strategies for transforming your home from reactive chaos to proactive sanctuary. We talk about real-world time and energy audits, how to delegate without guilt, the critical value of your own well-being, and why you can—and should—let go of low-level tasks. You can find Pat's book, The Field Guide for Single Parents on Amazon but don't forget to check your local library...if they don't have it, ask them to get it! No library should be without it.  If you’re craving sanity, practical solutions, and a supportive community that honors your story, you’re in the right place.
