What if resilience wasn't something you scrambled for in a crisis, but something already woven into the fabric of your family's everyday life?
That's the big idea behind this conversation with Dr. Kate Lund, licensed clinical psychologist, resilience expert, and author of Bounce: Help Your Child Build Resilience and Thrive in School, Sports and Life. Dr. Kate brings over two decades of clinical experience, specialized training from three Harvard Medical School affiliated hospitals, and a perspective on resilience that's deeply personal, deeply practical, and deeply worth your time.
In this episode, we cover:
What led Dr. Kate to dedicate her career to resilience (hint: it started with her own story as a kid navigating a medical diagnosis and returning to school feeling different from everyone else)
The Relaxation Response, a research-backed, two-minute technique you can teach your whole family to help regulate stress before it takes over a moment
How to tell when your child's stress levels have hit a tipping point, and what parents often miss because the signs don't always look the way you'd expect
Why holding space for your kid sometimes means doing nothing at all, and how to resist the urge to fix, redirect, or jump in with your own story
The Daily Wins exercise that shifts kids (and parents) out of the "everything went wrong" spiral and back toward what's possible
What a resilient lifestyle actually looks like in practice, and why it's so different from trying to build resilience in high-stakes moments.
The college admissions conversation every parent of a teen needs to hear, including Dr. Kate's refreshingly honest take on navigating what we can and can't control
A moment that stuck with us:
Lindsay shares the story of her daughter coming home from a rough rowing practice and not wanting to talk. Instead of pulling out the coaching toolkit, Lindsay chose to just be there. Later that evening, her daughter came back with her phone and said, "Mom, I made myself wallpaper with the thoughts I need to remember." The seeds had been planted. They just needed space to grow.
That's resilience as a lifestyle, not a rescue mission.

This week Lindsay is back with a solo episode, and it's a good one. She's making the case for self-awareness as the single most foundational skill we can give our kids — and unpacking why so many families accidentally skip it entirely.
Spoiler: it's not because they don't care. It's because we've been taught to associate self-awareness with selfishness. And that association, Lindsay argues, is completely backwards.
What We Cover
- Why self-awareness is the foundation of emotional intelligence, emotional regulation, AND empathy (not selfishness)
- What self-awareness actually is — and what it isn't
- Why kids who don't have it yet aren't dramatic or difficult — they just need the language
- The five reasons self-awareness matters for your child right now
- Why kids struggle to develop it (and how to give them grace while they do)
- Five practical, low-pressure ways to start teaching it at home today
- The story of a client who went from crippling anxiety and almost no self-awareness — to knowing exactly what she needed and accepting herself with full compassion
The 5 Reasons It Matters
- It's the foundation of emotional intelligence (Daniel Goleman's research)
- It improves emotional regulation — naming a feeling literally calms the brain
- Self-aware kids understand their strengths AND their challenges (hello, growth mindset)
- It strengthens executive function and decision-making
- It improves relationships — with peers, family, and eventually themselves
5 Ways to Teach It at Home
- Narrate instead of interrogate ("I'm noticing your body looks tight — are you feeling frustrated?")
- Use body-based awareness ("Where do you feel that? Does it feel fast or slow, tight or heavy?")
- Model it yourself ("I'm feeling really overwhelmed — I'm going to take a breath")
- Pause and give them space (stop demanding answers; value the exploration)
- Normalize ALL feelings — emotions aren't good or bad, they're information

Your teenager came to you upset. You said "go sort yourself out." Here's what they actually needed.
In this episode, Lindsay sits down with Laura Ollinger — teen and parent wellbeing coach, speaker and mom of FOUR teenagers (yes, all at once) — for a conversation that is equal parts real talk and practical gold.
Laura shares how a personal tragedy and her daughter's anxiety brought her back to school in her 40s, and why she built a coaching practice that works with both kids AND parents — because coaching a teen once a week means nothing if the home environment isn't on board.
This one is a must-listen if your teen has ever come home emotional and you didn't quite know what to do with it.
What We Cover
- The Big 5 stressors teens are navigating right now
- The think-feel-do-have cycle and how subconscious beliefs quietly run the show
- How to listen for "black and white" language in your teen and what to do when you hear it
- Why emotional fluency at the dinner table is one of the most powerful things you can build
- The difference between "was there anything good?" and "what was good?" (tiny, but it changes everything)
- What a calm, connected family culture actually looks like — spoiler: it's not perfect, it's present
- How keeping an emotional pulse on your kids, without judgment, is success worth celebrating
Key Takeaway
You don't need a perfect family. You need a connected one. If you know your son is tired and worried about algebra, and your daughter had a rough day before she even walked through the door — that awareness IS the work. Give yourself the credit.

Money stress has a way of leaking into everything, our sleep, our relationships, and even the way our kids learn what “normal” looks like at home. I’m joined by Lori Atwood, CFP and founder of Fearless Finance, to talk about what changes when financial planning is truly fiduciary and priced in a way regular families can actually use. We dig into why “free” advice often isn’t free at all, how commission and assets-under-management models can quietly shape recommendations, and how an hourly approach can give you a clearer, more neutral path forward.
We also get real about the emotional side of personal finance: shame, guilt, and the comparison trap that social media amplifies. Lori shares her definition of real prosperity and her five fundamentals that create financial security: spending less than you earn, keeping an “oops” cash buffer, building a true emergency fund, saving at least 15% for retirement, and managing consumer debt with a payoff plan. If you’ve ever felt paralyzed by money anxiety or told yourself you’re “not good at money,” this conversation offers a calmer, more workable way to start.
Because this is The Stress Nanny, we bring it back to parenting too. We talk about modeling money habits, why kids learn more from our reactions than our lectures, and how to set teens up with developmentally appropriate first steps like a checking account and debit card. One of my favorite insights is how buyer’s remorse, in small stakes moments, teaches value and priorities better than any app ever could. If this helps, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review so more parents can find practical support.

What if a single weekend outside could reset your child’s confidence and your family’s rhythm? We sit down with Antoinette Lee—Army veteran, outdoor industry leader, and founder of American Adventures Sports Club—to unpack how nature, camp, and adventure sports help kids regulate emotions, build resilience, and discover real independence. Antoinette’s own recovery from traumatic brain and spine injuries points to the power of neuroplasticity: archery sharpened her focus, whitewater kayaking restored her sense of self, and those same practices now help children move from “I can’t” to “I just did.”
We dig into the nuts and bolts of sleepaway camp—why so many kids arrive expecting hand-holding, how “challenge by choice” flips fear into curiosity, and the way natural consequences teach responsibility without shame. You’ll hear practical scripts for de-escalating big feelings, tips to create team energy fast (think: “Be in the buses in 15 minutes”), and reasons kids often open up to non-parent adults who can listen without leaping to fix. The stories are vivid: a reluctant camper who paddles out for the first time and phones home to announce, “I was brave,” and a bus ride where honest peer talk eases loneliness more quickly than any lecture.
Access matters, so we map real options: micro-adventures in a backyard or on a balcony, university gear rentals, thrifted essentials, and nonprofits offering free or low-cost adaptive programs for every ability level. We also make the health case for the outdoors—less processed food, more movement, sunlight for vitamin D, and water time that replenishes minerals—so kids feel better and behavior improves. Most of all, this conversation shows how small, repeated choices outside can rewire a child’s story from avoidance to agency, and give parents a clear, compassionate playbook they can use tomorrow.
If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs hope, and leave a quick review so more families can find their path to calm, confidence, and connection.

Overwhelm is not your new normal. Between constant notifications, vanishing village support, and the invisible load of appointments, meltdowns, meals, and expectations, modern motherhood can push any nervous system past its limits. We sit down with therapist and coach Kristen Cogan—mom of five and straight-talking guide for moms—to explore practical, compassionate ways to step out of survival mode and into a steadier life that actually feels good.
We start by naming what’s changed for moms today and why “fine” has become a false finish line. From there, Kristen introduces emotional hygiene: daily inner care that prevents resentment, burnout, and those edge-of-lose-it moments. You’ll learn why 30 to 60 second micro-practices work better than rare marathon meditations, and how to habit stack calm with anchors you already have—coffee brewing, school pickup, red lights, bedtime. We share tools you can use when emotions run high: an exaggerated sigh to cue safety, cold water resets, feet-to-floor grounding, and simple mantras that soften perfectionism and future-tripping.
Kristen breaks down her Ripple Effect Method, a four-pillar framework—physical, emotional, social, and spiritual—that helps you spot what’s underfed and start small. We talk through real-world examples: choosing movement and sunlight, setting a daily emotional intention like “calm” or “fun,” auditing nourishing and draining relationships, and rebuilding identity through hobbies you loved as a kid. Expect honest talk about setbacks, repairs with your kids, and the slow magic of presence that expands from seconds to minutes to a reliable inner quiet—even in loud rooms and long afternoons.
If you’re craving more ease, connection, and confidence, this conversation gives you clear steps and realistic rhythms to make change stick. Subscribe, share with a friend who carries a heavy load, and leave a quick review so more parents can find practical tools for calmer days.

Kids today face a world of constant pings, pressure, and comparison—and their brains are adapting to it. We explore why mindfulness is no longer optional for modern families and break down four research-backed reasons it matters: stronger emotional regulation, better attention, lower anxiety, and deeper resilience. Along the way, we translate science into simple, kid-ready practices that fit real homes, real schedules, and real personalities.
We start by reframing mindfulness as a practical life skill: noticing what’s happening inside and outside, then choosing on purpose. That shift helps kids pause before reacting, build a steadier connection between the amygdala and prefrontal cortex, and handle everyday challenges with more ease. You’ll hear how schools see fewer disruptions and better self-management, and how parents can recreate those wins at home with tools like “name it to tame it,” one-minute breath breaks, and neutral debriefs after tough moments.
Attention becomes the superpower. With dopamine-driven distractions everywhere, we share ways to train focus like a muscle—breathing as “brain push-ups,” walking awareness for active bodies, and creative supports for neurodivergent learners using green/yellow task lists and body doubling. Then we tackle stress head-on: redefining anxiety as a sensation to observe, not an emergency to fear. From bedtime body scans to performance routines for sports, theater, and school, kids learn to convert nerves into fuel.
We close with resilience and self-awareness, showing how values-based choices lead to healthier friendships, quicker bounce-backs, and a stronger sense of self. Try our “after action reflection” and the question that changes everything: How do you want to feel next time? These practices don’t promise perfect calm—they build capable, confident kids who can meet life with curiosity and heart.

If your inner voice is running you ragged, you’re not alone. We sit down with therapist, author, and YouTube creator Shannon Petrovich to unpack how negative self-talk drives daily stress, why childhood “templates” pull us toward toxic dynamics, and how to rebuild from the inside out with values, boundaries, and self-trust. Shannon’s trauma-informed approach translates complex psychology into practical steps parents and caregivers can use right away.
We dig into the first domino: the way you speak to yourself. Shannon shows how journaling surfaces old stories, then helps you replace catastrophic, all-or-nothing thoughts with character-based truths. From there, we explore how to recognize whether a relationship needs better communication—or whether you’re facing disrespect, gaslighting, or weaponized vulnerability. You’ll learn what “slow love” looks like, how to separate intensity from intimacy, and why trusting yourself is more protective than trying to read or fix others.
We also break down the brain’s alarm system in plain language. When emotion fuels survival mode, your rational mind goes offline. Shannon shares simple regulation tools—walks, music, mindfulness—that bring you back to center so you can make clear choices. We talk boundaries that actually work, the “pause” that prevents over commitment, and the real markers of reciprocity in friendships, co-parenting, and at work. If you’ve ever wondered, “Is this just a communication gap or is this unhealthy?” this conversation offers concrete cues and next steps.
Shannon’s resources include her bestselling book Out of the Fog, Into the Clear and her channel Therapist Talks: Thrive Beyond Narcissism, plus coaching and a masterclass for deeper guidance. Join us to replace people-pleasing with presence, trade the illusion of togetherness for genuine connection, and model calm, confident boundaries for your kids.
If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs steadier ground, and leave a quick review. Your support helps more families build calm, confidence, and connection.

Stress stacks fast for today’s teens—relentless social feeds, tighter college odds, safety fears, and the quiet weight of eco-anxiety. We sit down with Dr. Greg Hammer, physician, author, and mindfulness teacher, to map out a practical way forward: GAIN—Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Non-Judgment. In clear, everyday language, we show how a simple three-minute morning routine can lower stress chemistry, sharpen presence, and help families navigate pressure with steadier hearts and clearer heads.
We walk through the full GAIN practice step by step, from slow, deliberate breathing to a guided tour of the four anchors. Gratitude grounds teens in what is already working. Acceptance teaches how to sit with pain without spiraling. Intention trains attention like a muscle, five seconds at a time. Non-judgment replaces verdicts with discernment, turning “that friend is bad” into “how do you feel after time with them?” You’ll hear how this shift reduces defensiveness, improves teen decision-making, and creates more honest conversations at home and in the car.
We also tackle the real landscape teens face: algorithm-driven comparison, online shaming, polarized family talk, sleep debt, and the spike in competition around academics and activities. Dr. Hammer’s reminder not to take ourselves too seriously is more than a joke; it’s strategy. When the day is already hard, injecting play, humor, and joy restores energy and makes good habits stick. Treat time like an expensive resource, model the mindset you want to see, and watch those “light-bulb” moments grow as your teen learns to return to calm on demand.
If you’re a parent, coach, teacher, or counselor looking for tools that actually fit busy lives, this conversation offers a blueprint you can start tomorrow morning. Listen, share with someone who needs a little peace, and if it helps, leave a quick review so more families can find us.

Ever feel like you’re carrying the whole village on your shoulders? We sit with Dr. Melanie Gray—nurse, trauma-informed wellness coach, and leadership consultant—to map a practical route from constant overwhelm to a sustainable rhythm of care that honors you and strengthens your family. This conversation is a masterclass in reading your body’s signals, setting boundaries that stick, and turning everyday routines into reliable rest stops.
We start by naming the signs of burnout too many of us normalize: short tempers, sleepless nights, headaches, gut issues, and that sinking feeling that we don’t like how we’re showing up. Dr. Gray connects the dots between chronic stress, immune function, and long-term health risks, then shows how small, consistent actions rewrite the trajectory. Think simple anchors like phones down at dinner, an hour of quiet after, and signature family norms—Help Mama Monday, protected date nights, slow Sundays—that signal to kids and community what your household stands for.
We also unpack the emotional load: how “exhaustion Olympics” keep us stuck, why clear non-negotiables reduce anxiety, and how a trauma-informed lens helps you see beyond old chapters without denying them. Dr. Gray shares strategies to ask for help loudly and widely—church bulletins, neighbor groups, EAP programs—and to protect your bandwidth by limiting repetitive venting and doom-scrolling. Her take on trade-offs is refreshingly doable: redirect a small weekly spend to outsource laundry or cleaning for a season and buy back hours for true recovery.
By the end, you’ll have language to teach your family how to treat you, tools to regulate your nervous system, and a vision for legacy-level self-care—more health, more presence, and more capacity to lead with calm. If this conversation gives you a breath of relief, tap follow, share it with a friend who’s stretched thin, and leave a quick review to help more caregivers find these tools. Your calm can become your family’s culture.

A three-year-old hugging the Envy plush in a Disney store sparked a conversation we’ve been waiting to have: what if the feelings we avoid are the exact teachers our kids need? We walk through a simple, compassionate way to help children work with emotions like envy, sadness, and embarrassment so they gain self-knowledge instead of shame. Rather than pushing “clearance emotions” to the back of the shelf, we show how to name them, normalize them, and use the signals they carry to guide values, goals, and growth.
We start with thinking of envy as a compass—how comparison often points to a desire worth exploring—and how to turn that signal into a simple, doable plan. Throughout, we share everyday scripts and practical steps: notice what’s happening in the body, name the feeling accurately, validate the context, and choose a next step that restores agency. By meeting hard feelings with curiosity instead of fear, kids learn they can face what shows up and still live their best lives.

What if a color could say everything your child can’t yet put into words? We sit down with women’s health practitioner turned author Constance Lewis to explore how her family’s journey through epilepsy inspired a simple, memorable system that helps kids name big feelings and feel brave enough to face them. From NICU shifts and IVF to early-morning seizures and brain surgery, Constance maps the moments that shaped Miles and the Colorful Capes of Feelings—and the practical tools any parent or teacher can borrow tonight.
We get specific about what works under stress: asking for a color instead of a label, using capes or favorite dress-up items to signal state, and returning to the moment later with curiosity rather than critique. You’ll hear how calm modeling, low voices, and eye-level posture change the tone, why decatastrophizing protects the whole family’s nervous system, and how short, repeatable rituals—like meditation music during the dinner rush—turn regulation into a daily habit. We also talk about empathy as a skill kids learn by watching us: holding doors, checking on a friend, and noticing when a sibling needs space.
Schools matter here too. Constance shares ideas for discreet classroom signals so teachers can spot dysregulation before it derails learning. We discuss why social-emotional skills aren’t extra—they’re the foundation for attention, memory, and behavior—and how a quick “What color are you today?” can prevent bigger disruptions. Plus, a peek at what’s next: Mariah and the Colorful Tutus of Feelings, a toddler tools board book, and upcoming titles that normalize the emotional lives of moms and dads.
Ready to try it? Ask your child for their color, borrow the script, and watch how quickly the room softens. If this conversation gave you a useful tool, follow the links to the book and free resources, share with a friend who needs more calm, and leave a review to help others find the show.

What if the fastest way to more cooperation at home is to stop chasing control? We sit down with Katherine Sellery, founder of Conscious Parenting Revolution, to explore why power moves and punishments so often backfire—and how connection-first strategies create durable trust and real influence. Katherine unpacks the “three Rs” that control tactics trigger—retaliation, rebellion, resistance—and shows how to interrupt that spiral with co-regulation, perspective-taking, and a reliable ritual of rupture and repair.
We dig into the everyday moments that test our calm: public meltdowns with an audience, teens clamming up, and the sting of believing we must be doing something wrong. Katherine and Lindsay show how to re-frame behavior as information, assume goodwill, and place the relationship at the center so problem-solving can begin. You’ll hear vivid stories, practical scripts, and a clarifying distinction between “belonger” kids who protect connection and “autonomous” kids who protect their inner compass. Both needs matter; both can be nurtured without rewards and punishments.
Expect actionable guidance you can use tonight: how to “get bigger than what’s bugging you,” what to say when a child fears your reaction, and why asking “What was your perspective?” can unlock stalemates. We also highlight supportive resources like Katherine’s Family Lifeline community, gaming webinars, and her book “Seven Strategies to Keep Your Relationship with Your Kids from Hitting the Boiling Point.” If you’re ready to trade obedience goals for belonging and mutual respect, this conversation offers plenty of ideas—and the encouragement to keep practicing.

What if lowering family stress isn’t about fixing problems but about changing perspective? We sit down with Anil Gupta, “The Love Doctor,” to unpack a simple, profound approach to raising resilient kids: pair unconditional love with developmentally appropriate challenges, then use everyday rituals to lock in confidence and connection.
We start with the turning point that reshaped Anil’s life and work, then move into the practical framework he uses with families worldwide. You’ll hear how scaffolded adversity—ordering lunch, paying the bill, navigating transit—teaches kids to trust themselves without panic. We trade fear-based scripts for strength-based phrases that shape identity from the inside out, and we model the shift from external motivation to inspiration by letting kids gather their own proof: I can do this. Along the way, we address common communication roadblocks, the power of keeping your word, and how to let kids co-create consequences to learn accountability without shame.
The highlight is a repeatable dinner table sequence that transforms the tone at home: gratitude for unseen efforts, spotting and doing acts of kindness, noticing what stood out, and naming what was fun, exciting, magical, or funny. Rotate the nightly leader and watch public speaking, empathy, and listening skills bloom. We also dig into Anil’s happiness formula—giving, gratitude, and growth—and the counterintuitive mindset shift that eases tension fast: stop trying to remove darkness and choose to add light.
If you’re ready to swap helicoptering for heart-led guidance and build the kind of belonging that fuels bravery, this conversation is your roadmap. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs more calm, and leave a quick review so more parents can find tools that work. Then tell us: which question will you ask at dinner tonight?

What if the toughest parts of your year quietly made you and your child braver, calmer, and more connected? We dive into a gentle, science-informed approach to reflection and reframing that helps families convert stress into usable strength without minimizing real feelings.
We start by unpacking why curiosity-based reflection regulates emotions and supports meaning making, a cornerstone of mental health. You’ll hear how mindsight—observing your inner world with compassion—strengthens coping pathways that your kids can reuse when life gets loud. From there, we explore the research on stress mindset and the “challenge state,” showing how a small shift in interpretation can improve focus, performance, and health. Instead of chasing zero stress, we learn to find the optimal zone where tension becomes a tool.
Then we get practical. We model growth mindset language for everyday moments—like bike riding, auditions, or tricky school days—and show how to replace “I can’t” with “I’m still learning.” You’ll get a short guided reflection to try on a walk or before bed, plus simple family rituals that make resilience a habit: rose thorn seed at dinner, a “This year I…” courage jar, and monthly growth snapshots that help kids own their progress. Along the way, we normalize the messy middle, honor the cracks in the heart and celebrate the flowers that rise through them.
If you’re ready to trade perfection for progress and build ordinary magic at home, this conversation is your invitation. Listen, save the prompts, and share them with someone who needs a calmer way forward. If the episode helps, subscribe, leave a review, and pass it to a friend who could use a little extra calm this week.

What if the fastest way to calm is connection, not correction? Lindsay sits down with counselor and art therapist Jacintha “J” Field to explore how families can raise emotionally literate kids using the languages children actually speak: play, pictures, movement, and modeled honesty. J’s story journeys from a childhood of “toughen up” messages to discovering art as a safe pathway for feelings, then transforming that insight into clinical work and a gamified platform that helps 5 to 12-year-olds name and regulate big emotions.
We dig into practical, real-life tools parents can use today. Instead of “How are you feeling?” try drawing faces and letting kids choose their state. Build a calm corner with paper, pillows, and a favorite stuffed animal to “hold” heavy feelings. Turn chores and breath work into games. When a meltdown hits at the worst time, keep the boundary and stay close—play Uno, walk the block, or sit quietly until the body settles. You’ll hear scripts to prevent kids from blaming themselves for adult stress, plus the “friendship circle” method for mapping safe people and shifting relationships with grace.
J also shares why role models unlock buy-in—mention that LeBron meditates and suddenly breath work is cool—and how Happy Souls Kids weaves athletes and artists into short, kid-friendly regulation practices. We talk self-compassion for parents, timing hard talks for bedtime when kids are ready to open up, and celebrating every emotion, not just happy ones. If you’re seeking a calmer home, stronger bonds, and a shared family language for feelings, this conversation offers grounded, doable steps that fit real life. For more on J's work you can find her on IG, Facebook, Youtube, LinkedIn or via her website.

A thousand-pound therapist can teach you more about trust than a bookshelf of parenting guides. Shane Jacob—life coach, professional horseman, and former heavy drinker—opens up about a two-decade cycle of numbing, the wreckage it caused, and the unlikely path to healing through faith and horses. We unpack how an animal’s sensitivity turns into a powerful mirror, reflecting the energy we bring into every interaction and revealing why congruence, not perfection, builds connection.
We dive into the myth that life should feel good all the time and how that belief fuels escape behaviors for teens and adults alike. Shane explains the “speed of trust” with horses: when cues become fair and clear, they update quickly and stop keeping score. That lesson translates at home—separate behavior from worth, hold boundaries, repair fast, and then truly let it go. We explore communication breakdowns, why over-explaining escalates confusion, and how a few simple, shared cues can calm power struggles. Creating repeated correlations to parenting we recognize that sensitive kids read body language, tone, and pacing more than words; showing up aligned matters more than saying the perfect thing.
The heart of the conversation centers on self-compassion. Parents often weaponize their inner voice, then hope kids will somehow learn a kinder one. We offer practical, mindful tools—like the thought river shorthand and loving-kindness—to refill your cup and model emotional regulation. If you’ve ever wondered how to rebuild after mistakes, create unity between caregivers, or help a teen move from shame to resilience, these horse-powered insights will give you grounded, usable steps.

Your words are planting something. The only question is whether those seeds grow thorns of fear or roots of resilience. We sit down with author and corporate well-being coach Barry Nicolaou to unpack how subconscious “soil” works, why language like “hard” quietly programs outcomes, and how small intentional shifts can help kids and parents move toward calm, confidence, and connection.
Barry shares the soil metaphor for the subconscious—neutral, fertile, and ready to grow whatever we repeatedly think and say. We explore generational fear and scarcity, how worst-case thinking hijacks parenting, and a simple worldview check inspired by Einstein: do you believe the world is friendly or hostile? From that foundation, we get practical. Learn how to replace “I’m proud of you” with “You must be proud of yourself,” install nightly gratitude so anxiety has less room to run, and set clear boundaries without catastrophizing. We also talk about modeling mistakes and repair, building psychological safety at home, and choosing language that invites kids to move toward values instead of away from threats.
If you’re ready to reset intention and grow a family culture rooted in love, patience, and agency, this conversation offers tools you can use tonight. We close with where to find Barry’s latest book, Move the Mountain, and how his corporate programs blend mindset science with purpose-driven practices. Subscribe, share this with a parent who needs some peace, and leave a review so more families can find these tools. What seed will you plant today?

What if a few quiet moments each day could help your child bounce back faster, sleep more easily, and feel steadier in their own skin? In this episode we share a few ways that gratitude can flip the nervous system from fight-or-flight into rest-and-digest. Drawing from research at UCLA, USC, and studies by Robert Emmons and Michael McCullough, we connect the dots between gratitude, emotional regulation, resilience, and long-term health.
I walk through the brain science in clear, friendly language: where gratitude lights up neural networks and why that matters for stressed families, and how parasympathetic activation invites better focus and calmer choices. Then we get practical. You’ll learn the Three Moments ritual that fits in the car, at dinner, or before bed, plus Three Happy Things And One Thank You—scripts kids and teens will actually answer. We show how to blend gratitude with one strength-based question so children name something hard and how they got through it, building a durable narrative of resilience.
You’ll also hear why a simple gratitude jar can anchor the habit on tough days, how ending on a high note supports sleep, and what studies say about benefits like improved immune function and lower inflammation. We close with a short guided pause so you can feel gratitude soften your body in real time. No perfection required—consistency, warmth, and low pressure make this work.

What happens when a former speech therapist realizes the “perfect plan” for parenting doesn’t exist—and chooses presence over pressure? We sit down with Carrie Lingenfelter to explore how mindful attention, compassionate language, and simple spiritual practices can transform family life, especially for highly sensitive and neurodiverse kids.
Carrie shares her journey from evidence-first frameworks to heart-led parenting that honors each child’s wiring. We unpack how labels can open doors to support without defining identity, why words like gifted, spirited, and sensitive change a child’s inner story, and how to build a shared family language that spotlights strengths. From quick pre-pickup resets to modeled boundaries that sound like “give me five minutes to recharge,” we offer practical steps that shift the home from reactivity to co-regulation.
You’ll learn kid-friendly energy tools that actually stick: morning “white and gold light” protection, grounding roots into the earth, a simple mantra to keep emotional spillover at bay, and bedtime meditations that release the day’s weight. We talk about helping children become experts of themselves—recognizing when empathy serves and when a clear boundary is the most caring choice. Friendship dynamics, reflective questions, and story-based coaching round out a toolkit that helps sensitive kids navigate loud social worlds with clarity and confidence.
If you’re craving strategies that feel human, doable, and steadying, this conversation offers a path back to calm connection. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a little extra ease, and leave a review to help more parents find these tools. Your presence is the most powerful practice—start with one small ritual today.

The glow of “perfect together” can hide a much harsher truth. We sit down with narcissism specialist Dr. Anthony Mazzella to unpack how the illusion of blissful union forms, why ordinary differences feel like threats, and what actually changes when you stop outsourcing your worth. From a psychodynamic perspective, we trace the arc from early unmet needs to adult relationships that demand constant validation, then explore the real cost of leaving: grief for the fantasy, and the devaluing voices you carry after the breakup.
We get practical fast. You’ll hear how to spot red flags—pressure to be “always positive,” fights over hobbies or time apart, and the panic that turns separation into abandonment. Dr. Mazzella demonstrates “containment,” a therapeutic process that pairs validation with mindful inquiry, so you can slow reactivity, notice discomfort, and choose differently in the moment. We contrast projection with mentalization, show how integration of self reduces idealize–devalue cycles, and share simple repair scripts and redo language to stabilize daily interactions.
Parenting patterns take center stage too. We map how a history of domination and powerlessness can resurface as rigid control of a child, and how mindful boundaries protect connection without shutting people out. Along the way, we challenge the myth that change is a straight line. Progress happens in moments: one honest pause, one contained feeling, one boundary you keep. If you’re navigating a narcissistic relationship, healing after one, or trying to end a generational cycle, this conversation offers clarity, language, and tools you can use today.
If this resonated, share it with someone who needs it, subscribe for more grounded guidance, and leave a review so others can find the show. Your support helps us grow a community built on calm, courage, and real change.

One tall flower in a crowded field changes everything. Dr. Douglas Garland joins us to unpack Tall Poppy Syndrome—the ancient metaphor with very modern consequences—and gives parents a working language for envy, jealousy, pride, and the status games kids navigate every day. We dig into how cultures reward sameness or celebrate standouts, why the U.S. produces both more tall poppies and people who cut them down, and how social media keeps comparison always on.
We draw sharp lines between helpful envy that fuels emulation and growth, and the envy that sparks gossip, pile-ons, and cutting others down. Doug shares why anger and sloth intensify cutting in fast-result cultures, and how humility and kindness act as counterweights. He offers a candid story from his own career of being cut down at the top, then using that moment to reset, refocus, and build something larger—an approach families can model when a child’s wins trigger peer backlash.
Parents get a clear playbook: look for context before reacting, map power differences, and teach kids to read the field—family, classroom, team, and community. We cover practical scripts to help a child hold their ground without drifting into hubris, steps to distinguish bullying from status pressure, and a nuanced look at gender dynamics that shape how boys and girls experience and report bullying behavior.
Listen for a primer on Tall Poppy Syndrome and how to respond to it. For more on Doug's work visit his website or find him on Instagram.

Holiday seasons are loud, bright, sweet, and often overwhelming—and that’s exactly why they’re perfect for teaching kids (and ourselves) how to be present. We explore a simple presence practice that uses the five senses to bring a busy mind back to now, turning chaotic moments into chances for calm, clarity, and connection. From Halloween costumes and crinkly candy wrappers to warm pie dough and the glow of neighborhood lights, we show how everyday sensory details can anchor the nervous system and reduce stress.
You’ll hear a real family scene—a late‑night discovery of ants in a backpack—and how shifting attention to sights, sounds, textures, and smells transformed frustration into laughter and purposeful action. We unpack why acceptance is not giving up but stepping into reality long enough to choose a better response. Instead of fighting what’s happening or spiraling into what‑ifs, we practice noticing what is here, right now, and responding on purpose. That skill helps kids build emotional regulation, resilience, and self‑confidence while giving parents a steadier way to lead.
We also share quick, repeatable prompts that fit into busy days: tasting candy with attention, listening to neighborhood laughter, feeling cool air on your skin, and watching lights flicker. These micro‑rituals train the brain to settle faster, make good memories more vivid, and lower the temperature during meltdowns. The holidays become a training ground for year‑round calm, where presence turns modern chaos into manageable moments and families reconnect with what matters most.

Ever wish your teen would text more than “k,” while your paragraphs go unread? We dive into a simple framework that makes family communication clearer and calmer: six modes—sending, talking, meaning-making, tacit knowing, signaling, and advocacy—and how to switch between them without adding more stress. Our guest, Craig Matson, professor of communication and author of Digital Overwhelm, brings research from modern workplaces into everyday parenting, showing how the same pressures and patterns play out at the dinner table, in the car, and over text.
We unpack what each mode looks like at home: when to broadcast logistics, when to go one-on-one, how to explain the why behind rules, and why some skills are best learned by doing rather than explaining. We also decode the subtle stuff—tone, timing, punctuation—so your messages land the way you intend. Craig shares a memorable bookstore story where a plan fell apart and flexibility saved the day, modeling how small experiments (QR codes, short videos, quick chats) can reach different people with the right touch at the right time.
Mindfulness threads through the conversation. We talk about noticing your default mode, spotting the moment you’re “stuck,” and choosing a new approach on purpose. You’ll hear practical language shifts that create distance from big feelings, drawing on relational frame theory: “you’re having overwhelm” rather than “you are overwhelmed.” We close with simple ways to teach kids a wider range of modes—clear updates, compassionate talks, meaning checks, subtle signals, and brave advocacy—plus a reminder to lean on your village of coaches, teachers, and mentors so you don’t have to do it all yourself.
Listen for real-world examples, short scripts you can try today, and a calm path forward when life is loud. If this resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a little more ease, and leave a quick review so more parents can find these tools.

Homework shouldn’t feel like a bear attack, yet for many ADHD families, everyday tasks trigger fight, flight, or freeze. We invited ADHD coach and mindfulness facilitator Corie Wightlin to help us turn those explosive moments into opportunities for calm, connection, and growth. Corie blends neuroscience, executive function know-how, and lived experience to show how a simple “pause” can redirect the entire evening—and how a practical “fast-forward” thought experiment helps parents choose the next right move without the guilt spiral.
We dig into what actually works when brains are overwhelmed: sensory resets like cold touch, fresh air, or a 60-second song; visible, tactile pause signals; and nonverbal cues that defuse rather than escalate. Then we move from crisis to design. Instead of one-size-fits-all checklists, Corie walks through micro-step sticky notes placed where action happens, pre-staging friction points the night before, and turning time into a friendly cue with Alexa timers or playlists. You’ll hear how a small shift—like keeping shoes with the laid-out clothes in the living room—can shave minutes off the morning and unlock a child’s sense of competence.
Because novelty fades, we build “falter plans” that anticipate boredom and change, keeping systems fresh without starting from scratch. We also talk directly to moms who see themselves in their kids’ profiles: late-diagnosed ADHD, rejection sensitivity, and the exhaustion that comes from running on adrenaline and perfectionism. Corie offers a self-compassion framework and boundary-setting scripts that lower cognitive load, protect bandwidth, and model healthy regulation at home.
If you’re craving fewer meltdowns, smoother mornings, and more moments where your child genuinely believes “I can do this,” this conversation offers tools you can try tonight. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs a gentler plan, and leave a review to let us know which strategy made the biggest difference for your family.

What if the fastest way to move forward isn’t a grand reinvention, but one small promise kept today? That’s the heartbeat of this conversation with possibility coach and author Victoria Rader, PhD—a practical, grace-filled path from survival to significance that starts with a better question and a tiny step.
We start with Victoria’s unlikely origin story: a joyful family trip that quietly became debt, a Google search for flexible income, and a shy newcomer who stumbled into real estate during a recession—and still rose to the top 1% through simple daily actions. From there, we unpack the knowing–doing gap and the inner commitment we make each day: scared or sacred. You’ll learn how to shift “Why is this happening?” to “How can I use this?” so your subconscious starts working for you, not against you. Victoria’s electricity metaphor reframes resistance as a former protector, not an enemy, and shows how lowering internal resistance lets more light—and abundance—through.
We dig into her four S’s framework—Survival, Stability, Success, Significance—and how to climb it with the right next step: install one non-negotiable habit, then upgrade your mindset, then widen your heart to serve. Victoria demystifies “quantum leaps,” grounding them in physics: steady, boring movement meets a spark of light that carries you higher. We also talk courage and discouragement, why overthinking is a sign the heart’s offline, and how “forgive me” repairs relationships without shame. Parents and leaders alike will find tools to model emotional regulation, resilience, and self-trust—plus a fresh language that kids can use to turn anxiety into action.
If you’re ready to close the gap between what you know and what you do, this is your map: ask better questions, honor tiny wins, expose yourself to light, and keep moving. Subscribe, share with a friend who needs calm and courage, and leave a review to help more families find these tools. Then tell us: what’s your one non-negotiable habit this week?

Ever found yourself staring at the ceiling, mind racing, unable to drift off to sleep? You're not alone. This episode was born from a conversation with one of my middle school clients who shared she'd been using regular podcast episodes to help calm her mind on sleepless nights. Together, we realized what she truly needed was a dedicated guided relaxation - and that's exactly what this special episode delivers. Thanks Liv!
Guided relaxations are among my favorite tools to share with children because they provide a simple yet powerful pathway to calm. Using the gentle imagery of a warm wave washing over the body, I'll guide you (or your child) through systematically releasing tension from the top of your head all the way down to your toes. You'll discover areas where you unconsciously hold stress and learn how to let it go through conscious breathing and body awareness.
What makes this practice particularly special is its versatility. While perfect for bedtime struggles, it works equally well for daytime moments when overwhelm strikes. The recording provides clear guidance for both scenarios - either drifting peacefully to sleep or gently returning to your day feeling refreshed and centered. Parents tell me their children often request this relaxation when they're feeling anxious or having trouble settling down.
Whether you're a parent seeking tools to help your child develop emotional regulation skills or someone looking for a moment of calm in your own busy life, this guided relaxation offers a gentle reset button. The practice takes just under thirteen minutes but provides benefits that last much longer. Give yourself or your child this gift of calm - your nervous system will thank you!

Ever watched your child navigate a challenging moment with unexpected grace? In this illuminating conversation with Giselle Shardlow, founder of Kids Yoga Stories, we explore how ancient yoga wisdom offers modern solutions for our children's most pressing challenges.
Giselle's journey weaves together threads of yoga practice from her childhood in rural Canada to her work as an international school teacher. What began as a response to childhood obesity and stress has evolved into something even more vital today: providing children with essential tools for emotional regulation in an increasingly complex world. As Giselle puts it, "These SEL tools are no longer a nice-to-have, they're a must-have."
We dive deep into how mindfulness and yoga practices create resilience not just for children but for entire families. The beauty lies in their adaptability—these aren't rigid programs requiring hours of dedication but flexible approaches that meet everyone exactly where they are. Whether it's a simple breathing exercise during a stressful moment or a yoga story at bedtime, these small practices create profound ripple effects.
Particularly moving are the stories of transformation: the child who chose breathing exercises instead of punching during a playground conflict, or the young teenager who can articulate, "Sometimes I need something calming, and sometimes I need to get rid of extra energy to feel calm." This level of self-awareness represents exactly what our children need to navigate our uncertain world.
Giselle shares her powerful "Five C's" framework—Calm, Curious, Connect, Creative, and Commit—offering parents a practical roadmap for incorporating these practices at home.

Have you ever considered that your body's pain might actually be stress looking for a way out? That the mysterious aches, tension, and discomfort could be your body's increasingly desperate attempt to communicate something important?
Naturopath and reflexologist Njideka Olatunde transforms our understanding of the pain-stress connection with revolutionary simplicity: "You cannot have pain without stress, and you can't have stress without pain." This profound insight opens the door to a completely different approach to healing – one where we stop fighting our bodies and start listening to them.
Njideka reveals how our bodies whisper before they shout, progressively increasing the volume of their communications when we ignore the early signals. Rather than running straight to medication, which forces our already-stressed systems to process foreign substances, she offers accessible reflexology techniques anyone can use. The beauty lies in their simplicity – even children's games like "This Little Piggy" actually stimulate nerve pathways that trigger natural pain relief!
Perhaps most powerful is Njideka's distinction between treating your body as a temple versus a warehouse. When we recognize our physical form as sacred space requiring intentional care, we become more discriminating about what we allow in – physically, mentally, and emotionally. This includes being mindful of media consumption, recognizing when external information disrupts our inner peace, and honoring our right to disconnect.
True healing, Njideka explains, begins with listening as the first form of touch. From there, we can implement touch-based techniques that open communication channels between our brain and body, facilitating natural healing. While conventional medicine often treats symptoms mechanically, an integrative approach honors the interconnectedness of all bodily systems and incorporates traditional cultural wisdom that has stood the test of time.
Ready to transform your relationship with stress and pain? Download Njideka's free pain and stress relief poster after completing a short form at touchologyreflexology.com and start implementing these powerful yet simple techniques today. Or check our Njideka's website. Your body has been trying to talk to you – isn't it time you started listening?

Ever wondered why stress seems hardwired into our daily experience? Stanford professor and pediatric intensive care physician Dr. Greg Hammer returns to The Stress Nanny podcast to unpack this question and share his revolutionary GAIN method for stress reduction.
Dr. Hammer explains that our brains evolved with a negativity bias that once served our ancestors well but now interferes with our happiness. This tendency to remember negative experiences and overthink both past and future creates physiological stress responses—elevated adrenaline and cortisol, increased heart rate and blood pressure—that cascade into sleep disturbances, fatigue, poor dietary choices, and a self-perpetuating cycle of stress.
For today's children, especially teenagers, the burden is particularly severe. They're navigating unprecedented challenges—social media pressures, climate anxiety, school shooting concerns—while still developing the resilience skills needed to cope. As Dr. Hammer poignantly observes, they're "drinking from a fire hose" of stressors without the years of coping mechanisms adults have developed.
The GAIN method offers a practical framework accessible to both adults and children. This acronym—standing for Gratitude, Acceptance, Intention, and Non-judgment—can be practiced in just three minutes each morning through a combination of mindful breathing and sequential focus on each element. The practice activates the parasympathetic nervous system while rewiring neural pathways through neuroplasticity, creating what Dr. Hammer calls "light bulb moments" throughout the day when we notice ourselves being ungrateful, resistant, or judgmental.
Perhaps most powerfully, Dr. Hammer emphasizes that teaching mindfulness to children works best through modeling rather than instruction. When parents practice mindfulness themselves—taking those deep breaths during stressful moments or expressing gratitude regularly—children absorb these behaviors naturally. As he reminds us, "They are watching closely; they don't miss a thing."
Ready to transform your family's stress response with just three minutes each morning? Listen now to discover how the GAIN method can help you and your children build resilience, happiness, and emotional regulation skills that last a lifetime.

Ever wonder why you keep finding yourself in the same toxic relationships despite your best efforts to choose better partners or friends? The answer might surprise you.
Revolutionary recovery expert TJ Woodward joins Lindsay Miller to reveal why addressing toxic relationships requires an inside-out approach rather than simply removing "toxic people" from your life. With profound compassion and clarity, TJ explains how our earliest experiences form core false beliefs that unconsciously drive our relationship choices well into adulthood.
"We must heal the toxicity within first before we start working on our relationships," TJ shares, offering a refreshing perspective that empowers rather than blames. When we recognize that we're not broken—just carrying false beliefs about our worthiness—we can begin the transformative journey of reconnecting with our essential wholeness.
Through personal stories and practical wisdom, TJ illuminates how seemingly unrelated childhood experiences become templates for adult relationships. From feeling abandoned in his crib as a toddler to desperately seeking love as an adult while simultaneously choosing unavailable partners, he demonstrates how these patterns operate below our conscious awareness.
The conversation moves beyond superficial advice about "cutting toxic people out" to explore how we can gently re-parent ourselves, heal generational trauma, and shift from victim consciousness to creator consciousness. As TJ beautifully articulates, "When we start to cultivate a relationship with our wholeness, we start to see that everywhere."
Whether you're struggling with difficult relationships, wondering why certain patterns keep repeating in your life, or simply seeking a deeper understanding of human connection, this episode offers transformative insights that will forever change how you view yourself and your relationships.

We're often told to prioritize self-care, but what if simply meeting basic needs isn't enough? What if we deserve not just sustainability, but actual joy and pleasure in our daily lives? In this soul-nourishing conversation, intuitive guide Julie Hilson shares wisdom from her book "Life of Love: A Joyful Guide to Self and Sensuality" that will transform how you approach wellbeing.
Julie introduces the powerful concept of creating a "container for wellbeing" rather than waiting until we're depleted to address our needs. She suggests developing a personal checklist of activities that bring us joy and ground us – whether it's music, connecting with nature, or calling a friend – so we have resources ready when life gets challenging. As she beautifully puts it, "It's not reaching the bottom of your barrel and figuring out how to climb out. It's keeping your level at sustainability."
For parents especially, this conversation offers liberation from the cycle of endless giving without replenishment. While acknowledging that parenting has seasons requiring immense sacrifice, Julie reminds us that sustainable parenting requires boundaries and self-care. The most striking revelation? When we invest in our own joy and pleasure, we multiply what we can offer others. "Asking for help" becomes not a sign of weakness but a recognition of our humanity and needs.
Perhaps most transformative is Julie's perspective on stress itself. Rather than viewing it as an enemy, she suggests "making friends with stress" and using it constructively. By examining what triggers our stress responses, we can identify deeper patterns needing healing. Stress becomes not a burden but a messenger guiding us toward greater self-awareness. Julie also shares practical energy management techniques – from visualizing protective light to "shaking off" negativity – that help us navigate difficult moments with grace.

Motivation naturally ebbs and flows throughout our lives - especially during the school year. What if you could harness those high-motivation moments to make the inevitable low-energy times easier? That's exactly what mindful motivation allows us to do.
This final episode in our summer skills series explores four practical strategies to leverage your back-to-school energy surge for long-term success. When we recognize the natural cycle of motivation, we can practice a profound form of self-compassion: letting our present motivated self take concrete actions that will support our future less-motivated self.
First, I share how spending just 30-60 minutes getting a high-level view of your calendar can transform your experience of the next several months. Next, we explore how creating space for children to express their school-related worries now prevents emotional buildup later. The third strategy involves helping kids envision their potential and growth, shifting from past struggles to future possibilities. Finally, we look at how being intentional about school preparations can build intrinsic motivation and autonomy.
These mindfulness techniques aren't about pushing yourself beyond capacity - if you're feeling depleted right now, simply tuck these ideas away for when your motivation naturally rises again. The beauty of mindfulness isn't just being present in the moment; it's also using present awareness to care for your future self.
Ready to bring more mindfulness to your family's back-to-school transition? Listen now for practical tips you can implement right away, whether you're riding a wave of motivation or simply surviving summer.

Have you ever cringed when your child declared "I'm the worst!" during a challenging homework session? That moment of self-defeating language offers a powerful opportunity for transformation—if you know how to respond.
The latest episode of the Summer Skills Series tackles reframing, a deceptively simple tool with profound impacts on how children view themselves during difficult moments. This technique separates feelings from identity, turning global, hopeless statements like "I'm never going to figure this out" into manageable, temporary experiences. When consistently applied, reframing helps children develop resilience and a growth mindset that serves them far beyond academic challenges.
What makes this approach so effective is how it acknowledges emotions while creating pathways forward. Rather than dismissing feelings or rushing to fix problems, effective reframing validates the struggle while maintaining agency. "You're feeling discouraged right now" communicates a fundamental truth: people feel feelings, but they are not those feelings. This distinction allows children to work through emotions rather than becoming stuck in them.
The episode breaks down exactly how to implement this technique, from managing your own triggered responses to using active listening as your foundation. You'll learn specific language patterns that help children navigate discouragement, concrete examples of effective reframes, and strategies for staying present during challenging interactions. Whether your child struggles with homework frustration, social anxiety, or sports performance, these tools provide a consistent framework for supporting their emotional growth.
Ready to transform how your child navigates challenges? Listen now and discover how small shifts in language can create massive shifts in mindset. Share your own reframing successes in the comments—what strategies have worked in your family?

Ever noticed how family conflicts spiral when everyone's talking but nobody's listening? Welcome to the Summer Skills Series on the Stress Nanny Podcast, where today we're diving into the transformative power of active listening.
Most of us think we listen well, but during heated moments with our children, we're often just waiting for our turn to speak or formulating rebuttals rather than truly hearing what's being said. This episode uncovers the neuroscience behind why active listening is so much more than just a communication technique—it's a bridge that connects a child's emotional brain center (amygdala) with their logical problem-solving center (prefrontal cortex). When children feel genuinely heard through phrases like "What I'm hearing you say is..." or "If I understand correctly...", something magical happens: their defensive posture softens, and real problem-solving becomes possible.
The beauty of summer is that it gives us the perfect low-pressure environment to practice emotional intelligence skills before they're needed during the more structured school year. Learn practical phrases that demonstrate active listening, understand why sequencing events helps children integrate different brain regions, and discover how to model this skill so effectively that your children naturally begin using it themselves. This isn't about perfect parenting—it's about creating moments of connection that reduce stress and build resilience for the whole family. Ready to transform how your family communicates? This episode might just be the most valuable 10 minutes of your summer.

Here on the #8 ranked stress podcast, I partner with parents to keep an eye on the family's stress levels. This week we're talking about how to give kids a sense of control when we ask them to do something. Because we're trying to keep them safe and help them grow, we often give kids a lot of instructions. When kids feel like they don't have a lot of control they push back and conflict results. Today I share some ideas on how to foster a balance of structure (things you control) and flexibility (things your kids can control) in your interactions with your kids.

This week on the #8 ranked stress podcast I share a life hack from my dear friend Rochelle. Each year she chooses a word to focus on for the whole year. The word is kind of a touchstone and an inspiration for how she wants to live through the year. Different from an intention or a goal, the word is just a gentle reminder of the ways she wants to show up in all the places she shows up. On this episode I talk through the practice, geek out on some neuroscience around the power of pointing your attention at a specific word and then invite you to choose a word and help your family members choose a word for the year. Thanks Rochelle for the inspiration for this episode! I'd love to hear what word you choose!

In this episode of the #8 ranked stress podcast, I share three simple ways to incorporate mindfulness into your morning. When we start our day with mindfulness it's easier to return to that space throughout the day. We've primed the neural connections for calm, for presence and connection and we can return to them instead of frantically searching for mindfulness once our stress levels have already sky-rocketed. These three simple practices will just take a few minutes but they'll have a significant impact on your day.

This week on the #8 ranked stress podcast we're talking about how to cope with the loss of a pet. Mindfulness and pet grief expert Sarah Chauncey shares insights about how the special connections we have with our pets creates a unique kind of grief. Her thoughtful and candid approach to being "fiercly present" through the end of a pet's life and the grief that follows the loss will help you feel understood and supported as you navigate your own pet loss or support a loved one who is grieving the loss of a furry friend.

She’s had a significant mindfulness practice since 2010 and she’s been writing about techniques for developing mindfulness and self-awareness since 2014; Her book, P.S. I Love You More Than Tuna takes that experience and shines it through a paw-shaped lens.

Here on The Stress Nanny, the #8 Stress Podcast we talk through common stressors and how to minimize stress and build resilience. In this week's solo episode, I share an analogy for understanding how to tease apart stress. Comparing stress to a skein of yarn with a bunch of knots and tangles, I'll walk you through identifying what strands might be part of your stress knot. Once we get some clarity on which stressors we're dealing with, we can start to get clarity on how to work through them, slowing untangling the stress and allowing for greater functionality (in both yarn and people). During this episode, I refer to a free questionnaire on my website to help you get started in untangling your own stress! You can access that free questionnaire here.

Sharon has a profound connection to love and she encourages listeners to recognize the love that is always available to them. When we live from this place of love fear isn't an issue. Our lives today are full of a variety of fears and Sharon's genuine message invites us all to loosen the grip of fear and live more fully.

From the depths of despair, Sharon began searching for a path out of failure and into success. She embarked on an incredible spiritual journey that turned her life around producing full spectrum wealth, a wildly successful career, deep meaningful connections with family and friends and most importantly, an EASY system that anyone can use to bring their dreams into reality! Dying in a hospital and experiencing a near-death experience, Sharon had a choice: rebuild her life from the ground up in a way she would love or stay with the status quo. Taking the road less traveled, she decided to live her dream. Sharon founded Her Divine Life to help others connect with the infinite side of themselves so they can live a life they love. Her ability to break down overarching spiritual and success concepts into bite-sized pieces is what makes her a standout in her field.

In this episode I share another of my favorite mindfulness tools to help kids widen their green zones and try new things. The green zone is the space where kids are flexible, open and able to adapt. When kids are in their green zone they are willing to try new things. When kids are stressed or in new situations their green zones can shrink. As parents and caregivers, we can help kids develop awareness and tools to navigate moments that are beyond their green zones and feel chaotic or rigid. With simple examples and a clear explanation of what a green zone is, this episode invites you to read your child's stress signals and respond in a supportive way.

In this episode, Dr. Laura Parson and I discuss contemporary theories around care and empathy especially as they pertain to women learning to care for themselves. This is a great episode for women who struggle to insert their needs in the equation of daily life. We review reasons that women's needs have not historically been at the forefront of most environments and then explore how to acknowledge and legitimize women's ways of knowing and experiencing with an eye toward having empathy for our own needs. With an emphasis that empathy needs to be extended to self before being effectively offered to others, our conversation applies developmental theory to practical situations to help all of us care a little more deeply for ourselves while balancing care for others.
Dr. Laura Parson is an assistant professor of educational and organizational leadership at the North Dakota State University. Her PhD is in teaching and learning higher education from the North Dakota State University, and she has a master's degree in adult education from Westminster College with a certification in teaching English as a second language. She's authored numerous papers and books and has been the recipient of multiple awards and grants in the public government and private sector. She advocates using policy and curriculum to recreate the teaching and learning environment in higher education to promote equitable and effective learning spaces that are more inclusive and equitable. I have the good fortune of collaborating with Laura on a consistent basis. She regularly inspires me with her insights into the unique experiences of women and the hurdles we often unknowingly face in a world largely built by and for men.
With her down to earth and practical style, Laura sees situations and individuals through a unique lens, and I can't wait to connect you with her wisdom. When she's not teaching, writing, or researching, you can find Laura in nature, she's been an ultra-marathon runner, and more recently got into yoga as a way to support herself as an athlete.

In this episode sponsored by The Essential Calendar, a popular must-have tool for busy families, Executive Function Coach Emily Hawe and I chat about how to help kids ease into the school year. Our conversation covers the ways that mindfulness can support executive function skills like emotional regulation, focus, impulse control, prioritizing, time management and other actions that are important for success in school. Recognizing that these skills are highly taxed at the beginning of a new school year, Emily shares insights on how adults can scaffold the development of healthy executive function skills in children to ease the transition into the new school routine. If you're feeling stressed about the school year or if it's getting off to a rocky start, this episode is for you!
Emily loves helping students reach their full potential. Over the course of her career as a certified teacher, a college advisor, and an executive function coach. She has seen time and time again that the largest obstacle blocking students from excelling is poor executive function skills. These are the skills that allow us to plan, pay attention, remember instructions, and juggle multiple tasks successfully. It wasn't until after becoming a teacher and seeing students struggle with these skills that she decided to do a deep dive into the causes and solutions. She developed systems for struggling parents and students to positively impact their school experience. By learning these executive functioning skills, she saw clients go from failing classes to achieving a B average and heading off to college. Now she's taking her in depth knowledge of how the brain learns to develop programs that empower students with effective study skills. In addition to her courses and private coaching work, she's a staff developer for multiple school districts in the New York City metropolitan area. She holds a master's degree in higher education administration, pupil and personal services, and a master's degree in English education from teachers’ college at Columbia University.

Sophia DeSantis is a wizard when it comes to creating meal systems that are sustainable. Her family-friendly vegan recipes, coupled with her down-to-earth meal prep advice will smooth out any stress you feel about trying to get dinner on the table!
As a client-centered health coach, meal systems expert and plant-based recipe creator, Sophia focuses on helping people feel empowered instead of overwhelmed when it comes to overall health and wellness. She helped her husband better his heart health by completely changing her family's diet. She did this with a newborn and a 1-year-old, so she know what it's like to make a health change in the midst of chaos.
Being a teacher for 14 years, and getting my master’s degree in education, helped her understand that each person is unique in how they learn, and there is no one size fits all approach. She has now "retired" from her teaching job and runs her business full time while navigating life with 3 young boys. She don't believe there is one right way for everyone, and I strive to help people find what works for them. Her philosophy in helping others is built on the following:
✅ Food is only ONE piece of overall health & wellness
✅ Wellness is not just the absence of disease, it’s a continuum we are constantly moving on
✅ Change won’t happen until you decide to do it
✅ Small steps that align with your values will get you to your goals faster than big leaps
✅ You are the expert in your own life, don’t be afraid to live how you want even if it’s against the grain

In this episode, Arika Pierce unpacks what it takes to live life on your terms and cultivate a millennial mindset. By helping you focus on your goals, tune into your why and identify specific action steps forward, Arika's motivating style will have you scribbling down your goals and figuring out how to reach them.
When Arika Pierce was 28, she was hired for her first “big” Corporate job. She had major imposter syndrome (before it was a thing), shedidn’t know anything about leadership, managing people, running a department or an office. She only knew how to be an “employee.” She decided that she had to succeed, so she became obsessed with learning about successful people. She read books, bios, learned new habits, went to seminars on how to be a better public speaker, communicator, and exude executive presence.
Her goal was to transform herself into a leader. A transformative leader. She decided that is what she wanted to be known for as she grew her career. That’s what she wanted people to say about her when she was not in the room. And guess what, it worked--she went on to become the youngest Vice President in her company and later held other Senior Executive roles. Over a decade later she is proud to say that she learned a lot along the way, but most importantly, she learned from leadership expert John C. Maxwell that the best thing leaders can do is to grow more leaders. To learn more about Arika visit her website or find her on Instagram, or LinkedIn.

In this episode, Josephine Atluri and I unpack helplessness and Josephine shares mindfulness tools to help us all respond intentionally during the moments life feels out of control. With her friendly down-to-earth style and rich background in meditation and mindfulness, Josephine makes the practices accessible for anyone, anytime. Don't miss this interview!
Josephine Atluri knows something about the anxiety that comes with fearing the unknown and feeling out of control. The certified meditation teacher journeyed through miscarriage, adoption, IVF, and surrogacy over the course of several years, finally welcoming five children into her family. Now, she’s using the experience she gained in negotiating life’s curveballs to help others do the same, and the timing couldn’t be more critical. “Adversity coupled with feeling helpless is affecting all of us right now,” she says. “But we can all manage our response in a healthy way. We all have the tools within us, and just need to know how to tap into them.” Atluri uses group and individual meditation classes to give her students these coping mechanisms and affirmations. She also shares them on her podcast, “Responding to Life,” and offers free, guided 15-minute meditations via Zoom every Wednesday. She also offers free monthly meditations at www.jatluri.com. You can also find her on instagram @josephineatluri, her podcast @respondingtolife.

In this episode I chat with Murray Hidary who is passionate about helping people connect more profoundly with themselves and to find clarity and calmness through mindful music. He is a a meditation teacher, composer and pianist who performs with a special purpose.
He talks with me about how music can bring healing and connection especially during times of stress. We explore the ways he tethers music and mindfulness through his SilentHikes and MindTravel.
His SilentHikes that took place across the country last year and drew capacity crowds. (Participants wore headphones while they experienced an environment such as a garden or a beach, guided by verbal and musical cues from Hidary.) Here’s a link to an article in the Chicago Tribune, which gives in-depth description of the experience.
It’s all part of MindTravel, a transformative musical mindfulness experience created by Hidary. Hidary can talk about how all the components – music, words, silence, visual cues – can work synergistically to help people connect with themselves and the world around them. And he can help your audience incorporate these elements into their day at home – it does not have to be done in a group setting.
MindTravel has just introduced a downloadable version of the SilentHikes. The 60-minute program allows individuals to discover the beauty of nature and inner calm no matter where they are, without needing a group event.
You can also find Murray and MindTravel on IG.

Come along on a discussion about how to hold space for seemingly opposite states of being. Every day there are experiences that are inviting us to practice integrating emotions and perspectives that seem to be in conflict. When we can take an intentionally mindful perspective we can be present and integrate, synthesize, and create solutions and understanding which leads us to growth. In a time when we're feeling polarization in our own hearts and in our culture, it's crucial that we learn to occupy the middle path, the path of integration.

Often when we over commit we get so wrapped up in our frustration that we don't take stock of what "overwhelm" really feels like. When we just get present without judgment of ourselves or the situation and just acknowledge what we're feeling by saying "This is what overwhelmed feels like" we can more easily recognize the feeling in the future and avoid committing ourselves beyond our capacity. This is a great lesson for both adults and kids to tap into.
At the end of the podcast I mention two upcoming free summits:
The Evolving Humanity Summit - how to manage stress.
The Purpose Project Summit - how to find and live your purpose.
