    Episode 14: Healing Your Inner Child...One Party At A Time

    In this episode, I sit down with Alyson, owner of The Event Cart Company, to talk about what it really means to create magic, not just for kids, but for ourselves, too. What started as a desire to bring a “WOW factor” to birthday parties has grown into something so much deeper. Alyson shares how she was inspired by her mom’s unforgettable celebrations, how she built a business rooted in creativity and inclusion, and why creating meaningful experiences for kids can shape the way they remember their childhood. But this conversation goes beyond parties… We dive into reconnecting with your inner child, honoring emotions (both ours and our kids’), and unlearning the “be seen, not heard” mindset so many of us grew up with. This episode is a reminder that joy has a purpose, and that sometimes, the things we create for others are exactly what we needed too. ✨ In this episode, we talk about: Turning passion into a purpose-driven business Creating unforgettable childhood experiences The importance of inclusion and sensory-friendly play Healing your inner child and honoring emotions What it really looks like to build something meaningful If you’ve ever needed permission to choose joy, this episode is for you. If you want to keep up with all the exciting things Alyson is doing with her Event Cart, follow her @theeventcartexperience (no seriously...run don't walk to follow this powerhouse!)
