Summer is a time for fun and activities and kids can't wait to get out of school but it also brings out the unknown which for many kids provides a lot of anxiety. Schedules are off, activities are added and what is fun can be overwhelming too. This week I talk about what are some things that cause anxiety in kids during the summer and what you can help to ease that transition to have a happy balanced summer holiday.

Happy Father's to all men out there who are fathers in some way and give, love, mentor and nurture the people in your life. When we are young we try so hard to not be like our parents only to find out how much we are actually alike. Today I celebrate dads and the things they have taught us by sharing stories of what my dad taught me and the biggest ways he impacted my life which shaped me to who I am today. Happy Father's Day to you dad, to my husband and to all dads out there. Celebrate you, you deserve it!

Every generation thinks the next generation is crazy, lazy and not as smart or as good as the one before them. But has this new generation, the Gen Z's really made it so that they are lost? Are they truly a generation that can't do or think much on their own. In this week's podcast I talk about common behaviours among the generations and what we can do to help save the next generation.

Technology and social media is part of everyone's life and has connected the world and each other in ways that only seemed futuristic not too long ago. It has also disconnected our human connection to each other giving rise to anxiety, depression and loneliness. Humans need human connections to feel alive and loved and to have relationships. This week I talk about how we can build our relationships and bring back the human connection to each other.
