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. She also celebrated the things she was thankful for, no matter how small. This practice ended up having big life changing effects for her and her entire family.
Katie's book A Simple Seed: of Growth, Gratitude & Giggles: 5-minute morning journal for kids is a journey to help kids (big & small) tap into manifestations that can help us focus on all the good things in your life in an easy and approachable way. Her book is over 200 schools nationwide that are helping create a generation of thoughtful, kind and generous kids.

Are you ever looking for someone to give you permission to just take a beat and relax?! Well, Dr. Devon Price is here to give it to you. The social psychologist and author pairs his own life experiences with science to explains how damaging our society's obsession with busy-ness and output can really be. He shares some ideas from his book "Laziness Does Not Exist" that encourage adults and kids to disconnect and embrace unstructured time. And if that wasn't enough, he wrote "Unmasking Autism," also inspired by his own experience; this one focused on his later-in-life autism diagnosis. Dr. Price writes it to help those who have unmasked their behaviors for so long begin to understand and accept their needs. There is a lot packed into this conversation, but all so valuable as we look to build a more fulfilled and accepting society.

Most parents want to raise happy, health, and kind kids that turn into kind adults. Of course, there's tons of books and research out there with ideas on how to do that, but most of the time parents rely on their instincts. What if we told you that some of the best ways to raise a "good human" are counter-intuitive? We're not kidding. Melinda Wenner Moyer, a science journalist and the author of "How to Raise Kids Who Aren't A**holes," did tons of research to find science that backed that claim. She joins Maria to offer tangible strategies for parents to help shape kids into confident, independent, generous, empathetic and smart adults.

It wasn't too long ago that the idea of becoming a first-time mom after 50 was a crazy idea. But thanks to celebrities like Naomi Campbell, Janet Jackson, Hoda Kotb, and so many other women the idea doesn't seem so crazy anymore. Journalist Richelle Carey always planned to settle down, find a partner and start a family when her busy career would allow. As time ticked on, she decided to become more intentional about this dream; she froze her eggs, later endured a round of IVF, and ultimately embarked on an adoption journey. Just last year, Carey welcomed home her son at age 49. She shares the details of her story and how she plans to raise her Black son in today's world. Carey hopes other single women in her position can find inspiration and joy in her story and process.

The teen years can be so fun, careless and adventurous; they can also be trying and tough. And for many teens it can be hard to connect with adults, especially their parents. But it doesn't have to be that way, thanks to "Teen Whisperer" Kirsten Cobabe. The teen and family coach helps people find ways to lay a foundation of trust, communication and connection with successful strategies. Cobabe understands that teens need to feel seen, supported and in control. She also understands that parents can foster that independence while still providing structure and boundaries. Today, she shares how to strike that balance with host Maria Sansone. She also dives into the impacts and strategies around technology, school and so much more.

“Rise and Grind.” “No Days Off.” “The Hustle Never Stops.” How many times have you heard these sayings? Probably too many. In today’s world we glorify hustle culture.

Digital Anthropologist Rahaf Harfoush knows this culture and consequences of burnout all too well. Harfoush is the author of “Hustle and Float: Reclaim Your Creativity and Thrive in a World Obsessed with Work.” She unpacks living in a society that “idolizes creativity but worships productivity” and our constant desire for me.

Are we overparenting our children? For example, constantly saying things like "we have a playdate," "we are going to college," and "we have soccer practice." Of course we want the best for our kids but we may be making it too easy to succeed and too hard to fail. In other words, making it nearly impossible for kids to problem solve, build resilience and become independent.

What is gender creative parenting? It's a lot of things according to Dr. Kyl Myers, author of "Raising Them: Our Adventure in Gender Creative Parenting"; it's not a one-size-fits-all approach.
