    The Habit of Celebration and Ten Tips for Hosting Your Own Family Holiday Events

    The Habit of Celebration and Ten Tips for Hosting Your Own Family Holiday Events

    Celebrating with kiddos with trauma histories and neurodiversity looks a lot different than neurotypical celebrations.
    When raising kiddos with trauma histories/neurodiversities it is easy to get caught up in meeting physical needs.


    In her article “Hopes and Prayers,"  Joyce Maynard describes what happens to many of us.


    “We’re so consumed with the feeding, the dressing, the buckling into our car seats, the finding of bathrooms, and the counting of heads,” she says, “that we sometimes forget that there is any greater mission to raising children than making sure the crusts are cut off the sandwiches and that everybody gets a balloon.”


    When raising kiddos with trauma histories/neurodiversities, this is especially dangerous.  It is easy to get stuck in the rut of feeding and clothing children and trying to deal with each phobia or medical issues, reading articles on attachment, talking to other parents about what to do, etc..  It becomes exhausting and overwhelming.  All the joy is sucked out of life when there is no celebration. 
    Grab a cup of coffee and join me as I share ten tips on how to plan your own family events and practice the habit of celebration!

    Healing, Growth, and Resilience in Homeschooling With Kelly Edwards

    Kelly Edwards of 90 Minute School Day joins me today to talk about -healing, growth, and resilience in homeschooling.
    Kelly shares:
    I’m just thrilled to help parents in homeschooling make the transformation that I feel like I stumbled down the mountain and up the mountain and through the woods in the dark to get to myself. That’s really where the 90-Minute School Day came from: coming alongside parents who are either considering homeschooling or have already been homeschooling, make the shift in their homeschool from a top-down approach to being relational with their children as the foundation and going from there.Grab a cup of coffee and listen to this valuable conversation about homeschooling!

    Dr. Jerrod Brown - The Gut Brain Health Axis

    Dr. Jerrod Brown returns to the podcast to teach us about "The Gut-Brain Health Axis"
    Dr. Jerrod shares -
    "This is a topic that I’ve been doing more and more work on over the lasthandful of years. I became interested in this because in most of the cases I’ve consulted on over the years where the client has had a really severe mental health problem or a neurodevelopmental disorder or extensive trauma histories or drug and alcohol problems there’s something going on with the gut that isn’t working properly.As I dug deeper into this topic, a good handful of years ago, there’s a huge connection between digestive health issues and emotional/behavioral problems. That’s that gut-brain health axis." 
    Grab a cup of coffee, a notebook, and a pen, and learn with Dr. Jerrod!
