Voices of Your Village Seed & Sew

I got to hang out with Dr. Ellen Vora. Oh gosh, I love hanging out with Ellen. She is incredible. She wrote a beautiful book about adult anxiety. And let me tell you y'all like we know anxiety is on the rise and we need concrete tools for what to do with it. And when I first started reading her book, The Anatomy of Anxiety, it was one of those things where immediately I was like, yes, yes. Yep, so much yes to this. As a human who once lived with a lot of anxiety and has learned a lot of tools that I get to employ in the day to day to live with less anxiety, I felt like I just felt so seen in this book and it felt really validating. And Ellen and I get to really get into the down and dirty of what is anxiety and what she refers to as these two different components of anxiety, this false anxiety and true anxiety. And what do we do about both of them? How do we manage them? What does it look like to navigate them and how do we create systems that support our lifestyle? Ellen is one of those humans. I feel like I could hang out with forever and we just got to scratch the surface. So please snag her book, The Anatomy of Anxiety to dive deeper into this work. You wont regret it, I promise.

Seed and Sew Regulation Quiz: Seed Quiz

You're listening to Voices of Your Village. And today we get to hang out with my pal Heather Avis from the Lucky Few Foundation. Maybe you follow The Lucky Few Official on Instagram. Fantastic follow. Heather wrote one of my absolute favorite children's books. It's called Everyone Belongs. And I honestly, I cannot read it without crying. It's so good. It's one of my favorite gifts to give at kids' birthday parties. And today we get to dive in with her on how to build a culture of inclusivity at home. I love Heather's approach and work and influence in this space. And it was truly a dream to get to sit down and chat with her and I'm so excited to bring this conversation to you.

Seed and Sew's Regulation Quiz: Take the Quiz

Today we get to dive in with Wendy Snyder of Fresh Start Families. I got to chat with Wendy all about compassionate discipline. I don't know about you, but I feel like this is one of those topics that is just a hot button one. Like, what is discipline? What's the difference between discipline and punishment? How do we navigate boundaries and discipline with compassion? How do we really connect with the human in front of us and be mindful of our triggers and aware of our like, especially for me, like, defiance is such a trigger. And so when it comes time for discipline, when there's been defiance, I can feel it all in my body. Like, my chest is tight. I can feel the rage building, and I'm triggered, right? And so it was so fun to get to dive in with Wendy on what this looks like, to truly be compassionate in this process. I'm so excited for you all to get to dive in to this one with me.

Seed and Sew's Regulation Quiz: Take the Quiz

Today I get to hang out with Marie Beecham. Marie is a diversity, equity, and inclusion advocate. She has empowered millions online by guiding them through the steps of becoming a change maker. Her life's work is helping people make a difference, and she teaches people to do just that on her podcast, The Change Maker. I think the key to moving forward together collectively is learning how to have conversations with people who don't already think like we do. It's very easy to get fired up and feel passion in a group of people who believe the same things you do. My challenge for all of us is to have more conversations with people who don't, and not to prove them wrong, not to prove our point, but to truly understand, to learn how to listen and engage thoughtfully. Marie is brilliant at this, and I'm so excited for you all to tune into this conversation that I got to have with her.
