Join us as we explore the dynamic world of parent-child play. Michelle sheds light on the unique aspects of play for special needs children, while Jill, our play expert, dives deep into the many ways parents can engage with their kids at any stage of life. 

We discuss how play can be tailored to fit various needs and situations, breaking down perceived barriers and highlighting its universal benefits. 

Tiesha and I reflect on the changing nature of play as children grow, from toddlers to teens, and how parents can foster meaningful connections through every developmental stage. Tune in for insights and inspiration on nurturing strong bonds through play!

In this very first episode of 'Nikki & Me', they begin their series pretty dramatically! Join mother and daughter as they dive into mental health related topics, life and particularly -- the topic of anger. 
In this episode, you can expect to hear about how  Gen Z Nikki  is dealing with this strong emotion and compares it to her mother who unfortunately didn't deal with the same emotion in the most mature way when she was younger. As a result, the two navigate through the trenches of anger in their relationship head on, and find out that it isn't so bad in the end even though many times it felt that way. 
They explore the Rainn Wilson episode on Diary of a CEO and how it inspired them to talk about mental health, but also  how he dealt with his own challenges while making everyone else in the world laugh through comedy.

Welcome to BTDubs podcast!

Hi, I'm your host, Jackie. Here is little bit about this podcast and what you can expect. We've got a little bit of everything for everyone! 

If you're anything like me, you're in for a treat!

You're going to enjoy a series I've entitled “Jackie of All Trades”.

If you're an avid online learner with a passion for exploring a wide range of topics, or maybe have been considering embarking on a new business venture or career change, this series is going to have pretty much everything broken down in little small bits and pieces. You know, when I am learning about something, I like it broken down in pieces that I can understand. I don't want anything complicated. If they have a webinar, I want to know. If they have a book, I want to know. If they have a website, I want to know. How much is it? Where can I find it? What tools do I need? Is it something for me? 

“Jackie of All Trades” series is a go-to destination for information packed episodes featuring guest experts and guiding us in everything we need to consider before getting started. 

In addition, we're going to have some really cool, memorable family moments in episodes titled “Nikki and Me” with my Gen Z daughter, Nikki. 

She and I will bounce off ideas where Where Generation Xennial and Gen Z perspectives unite! 

Oh, I cannot wait for you guys to tune into this series! You'll get to experience us in the most genuine dynamic we have to offer in this podcast. We're gonna be raw. We're gonna be honest and at times inappropriate.  

“Nikki and Me” series is pretty much everything you can expect with a “Mom and Me” series. 

Warning: This series is rated “E” for explicit! If you don’t want younger ears to tune in, please listen with discretion. 

Get excited! I know we are!

You know what to do. Press follow, click share. We'll be uploading weekly through your favorite podcasting platform. See you there!
