    Are you frazzled getting out the door each morning? Do you start your day by gulping down a cup of joe? Do you reach for your phone first thing and end up in a mindless scroll? Adding 5 minutes of mindset work in the morning can change your life and alleviate some of the chaotic and frenzied energy. Maria sits down with Katie Wood -- mom of four, former teacher, motivational speaker and author -- who has not only transformed her own life, but the lives of thousands with a simple morning routine rooted in gratitude. Katie shares her personal story of growth and change that started after her daughter was diagnosed with an illness that put her into a dark place. In an effort to help herself navigate around a place of worry and despair she became more intentional by starting her day by celebrating the "positives" in her life.

    Talking to Your Kids About Alcohol

    Are there things you wish you knew about alcohol before you took your first sip? What do you say when your kids ask about "mommy's juice" or "adult bevvies"? Alcohol is a topic that is hard for adults to talk about with friends and even more difficult to talk about with kids. But the conversations are important to both educate and build trust. Annie Grace, best-selling author of This Naked Mind, went alcohol-free after her own struggles with the substance and is now sharing tips to talk to kids of all ages. She explains it's not a lecture but a conversation lead by curiosity. Today she talks with Maria about: Why it's so important to start conversations when kids get curious (just make it age appropriate!) "Show, don't tell, but tell everything" -- how to get vulnerable with kids even when it's uncomfortable What Annie wishes she knew about alcohol before her first sip The deal she made with her kids when they were young to keep a relationship of mutual trust rather than complete control To listen to Annie's story to an alcohol-free life, listen to her first episode with Maria: Getting Curious About Sobriety with Annie Grace Follow along with Annie for more tips: @thisnakedmind More tips on talking with your kids about alcohol: talkwithyourkidsaboutalcohol.com _______ Follow along with Maria on social: @mariasansone _______ Sign up for The Hubbub: nbcboston.com/newsletters Learn more about Supporting Our Schools: nbcboston.com/schools Follow along with Maria on social: @mariasansone
