Today's episode takes a slightly different approach compared to my shows. This is because of the amount of information coming out about the negative impact screen time can have on our brains. And by our brains, I'm not just talking about the adult brain, but also our kids.

Screen time often feels like a moment o...

In today's short and sweet episode, I discuss a quote I needed to hear to get me out of my head. Do you ever have this? You're watching TV or listening to music and you hear something that feels like it was meant specifically for you. This is exactly what I felt. In this case, it's about snapping at your kids, beating yourself up because you've been working so hard on yourself, and then wondering how this is possible after all your hard work. The quote reminded me that no matter how much pers...

In today's episode, I talk about an experience where I quickly judged another parent.

This episode is a vulnerable one where I share my recent experience facing my fear... public speaking. In the episode, I talk about an opportunity I had to speak in front of hundreds of people. After the talk, my inner critic went wild, dishing out all sorts of harsh comments because things didn't go as planned. Instead of sinking deeper into a black hole, I turned to lessons learned. I share these lessons along with tips for how you can step out of your negative thoughts and move forward kno...
