Hey!

We wanted to let you all know that we are taking a page out of our own book, and taking a brief winter break from the podcast. Our plan is to be back shortly after Easter with new interviews, minisodes and a fresh outlook!

Thank you all, as always, for listening and we can’t wait to connect with you all again soon!

Alayna and Jessie xoxo

Have you ever wondered why nature sounds are so relaxing?

Birds singing, rain falling on a tin roof, ocean waves crashing against the shore...

All of these natural soundscapes help to reduce anxiety and increase clear-minded focus, and there is scientific research to prove it! So next time you head out on your daily walk, ditch the earphones and let the soothing sounds of nature take over. 

Check out this website to read more about the scientific link between natural sounds and relaxation. 

Happy listening!

Are the simplest tasks triggers for intense meltdowns from your kids? Is getting them dressed in the morning a recipe for disaster? Like us, it sounds like you may have a spirited kiddo on your hands.

Looking for a way to channel that intensity for good? 

In this episode, we chatted with Carolyn McGuire, a teacher with over 30 years of experience and a passionate advocate for student success. She was a recipient of Canada’s Prime Minister’s Award for Teaching Excellence and was recognized for her ability to bring about transformative changes in children with academic, social, and behavioural challenges. 

Carolyn is a Nurtured Heart Approach advanced trainer, Classroom Wellness and Certified Mind Rebel Coach, and has led and supported Nurtured Heart classrooms and schools. 

Her mission is to enable parents and teachers to transform their relationships with intense, spirited, or challenging children and create empathetic and caring kids.

We left this conversation actually looking forward to the next meltdown so we could try out some of the great tips and techniques Carolyn shared with us.
