- Kids & Family
Hi! I've been a music educator and composer for over 35 years and I have combined my vocations with my passion to talk about the quest to do better. I invite my community of parents and non-parents to chat about one of my favourite subjects. I like to invite my guests to speak freely and openly about their challenges around parenting, and encourage empathy and understanding amongst all of us. Let's face it, everyone has an opinion about how we can be better parents and most of us agree that it is one of the hardest jobs out there! In thanks for their vulnerability, I compose a song for each guest, presenting it at the end of the podcast. All songs are renamed, used as the episode title and released on all of the streaming sites, too. Want to be a part of it? Reach out for a chat! margaretdahlberg.com

And So We Dance with Tasha
Send us a Text Message.Tasha is a well-known child psychologist in my sphere. It was such a pleasure to have her take off her professional hat and get to it about parenting. What a treat! This empty-nester likes to get right into it and so we did. We discussed that when struggling, particularly with grief, sometimes all we can do is lie in it. . . And, sometimes all we can do is. . . dance! If you are looking for family support, Tasha is a great resource. Find her at tashabelix.com
