    Let’s Talk About What Kids REALLY Need w/ Danielle Lindner

    We all want to raise kind, confident, emotionally healthy kids—but sometimes the biggest opportunities to help them get there are in the small, early childhood moments we tend to overlook. This week, I’m joined by Danielle Lindner—award-winning educator, parenting coach, and founder of The London Day School—for a conversation about what our kids REALLY need in their early years (and even into young adulthood!). From handling conflict in the classroom to navigating big emotions at home, Danielle shares insights from decades of experience helping kids thrive—and helping parents do the same. In this episode, we talk about: Why the early years matter more than we think How parents and teachers can be true partners (not opponents) What to do instead of jumping in to fix every problem for your kid Why teaching emotional intelligence and conflict resolution skills should start much earlier than you think (and how to do this at home) What it actually looks like to raise resilient, emotionally aware humans Our experience as prior teachers and also mothers This is a must-listen for anyone navigating preschool years (or reflecting on how we parent and lead through challenges at every age).

    What If Content Creation Didn’t Have to Feel So Hard? w/ Jenna Faye Madden

    Ever feel like you’re doing all the things and following all the “rules” when it comes to creating content for your business but it just isn’t working? Yeah, you’re not alone. But the truth is it isn’t working because there’s no magic pill or formula to bring in clients this way. And creating content that converts doesn’t have to feel so hard. That’s why this week I’m joined by Jenna Faye Madden, conscious leadership coach, business strategist, and CEO of Soul Meets Strategy®, to call BS on the idea that marketing your business online needs to feel like a frustrating full-time job (or kill your creativity). In this episode, you’ll hear: The simple reframe that helps you stop overthinking every post Why your most aligned clients might never like or comment—but are still watching How to create content that feels like you (while converting better than following any old content formulas) What happens when you stop trying to ‘get it right’—and start saying what matters The real reason your content strategy might feel harder than it needs to How to simplify your content without hiding your offers Whether you're burned out from trying to “do it right” or just want your content to feel more you, this conversation is a permission slip to simplify, show up, and let it be easier.

    Calling BS on Toxic Masculinity, PTSD Myths & Mental Health Stigma w/ Christopher Birstler

    We’ve come a long way in how we talk about mental health in our society… but there’s still so much we’re not talking about—and a lot of BS that needs to be called out. This week, I’m joined by Christopher Birstler, a 5-time suicide attempt and trauma survivor who’s on a mission to provide philanthropy, education, and advocacy. Through his organization From Victim to Victor, Christopher is on a mission to support crime victims and service providers through a trauma-informed mental health lens—and he's not afraid to talk about the real issues. In this episode, you’ll hear: How the “boys don’t cry” mentality is still showing up, despite being outdated and dangerous What people get wrong about PTSD—and who actually experiences it The surprising forms of trauma most people don’t realize have such a big impact  Christopher’s firsthand experiences navigating the mental health system—and the common-sense changes that could have made it more compassionate and effective What we REALLY need to be teaching kids about mental health (and why it needs to go beyond depression and anxiety) Whether you’ve personally experienced trauma, work in a helping profession, or just want to be a more informed and compassionate human, this conversation is honest, eye-opening, and full of heart and an important conversation to hear.

    Busting the BS myths around Hypnotherapy w/ Craig Meriwether

    There’s a ton of baggage around the word hypnosis, but there’s actually a lot of really interesting science and evidence behind it and it can be a really powerful healing tool. That’s why this week my guest, Craig Meriwether, is here to help me call BS on the myths around the practice of hypnotherapy and break down the science behind how it works. Craig is a Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Medical Hypnosis Specialist, Neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) specialist, and Founder of Arizona Integrative Hypnotherapy. We tackle the common misconceptions surrounding hypnotherapy (spoiler: it's nothing like you see on TV!), how it differs from pop culture portrayals, and how it can be a game-changer for healing deep-seated emotional wounds and limiting beliefs. In this episode, you’ll hear: The myths about hypnotherapy that Craig wants to bust wide open How hypnotherapy helps with trauma, anxiety, and breaking limiting beliefs The difference between entertainment and therapeutic hypnosis Why this form of therapy is so powerful in accessing the subconscious mind (even from the comfort of Zoom!) Craig’s insights on the science behind it—and why it's not just “woo-woo” The extraordinary speed at which patients can get relief with hypnotherapy Whether you’re curious about hypnotherapy for yourself or just interested in learning about this fascinating field, you’ll want to tune in to hear how this therapy could help you eliminate the negative emotions and limiting beliefs that may be keeping you from reaching your full potential.

    Focus on THIS instead of social media vanity metrics for business success w/ Emma Donnelly

    Y’all probably know how I feel about chasing viral status on social media, but it’s such a hot topic in the social media world still that keeps too many people stuck and one that can’t be called BS on enough. Because the truth still is that you really don’t have to ever go viral and have loads of followers to be successful in business (and honestly aiming for that is most likely actually keeping you from the sales you want!) That’s why I’m excited to bring you this angle to the conversation from social media manager, Emma Donnelly, who has built her agency on organic social media content alone as a busy mom and now helps other moms to spend less time creating social media posts and more time with their families. In this episode, you’ll hear: How to be really successful as a business owner with a really small audience What metrics you should actually be looking at (instead of follower number or view count) One of the main things Emma does on social media that she contributes much of her success to that has nothing to do with vanity metrics Katy and Emma break down both practical and mindset tips to create IG stories that convert Some of the downsides of going viral Connect with Emma:IG: https://www.instagram.com/askemmasocial FB: https://www.facebook.com/askemmasocial LI: https://www.linkedin.com/in/askemmasocial  Where to find me: Connect with your host, Katy Miller: IG: ⁠@themillersocial⁠ W: ⁠https://themillersocial.com/⁠Work with me: https://themillersocial.com/
