Today's episode is an impromptu talk on going with the flow and not resisting what shows up in your life to change or cancel your plans. It happened to me this week and I know it's something we all can relate to.

No matter what's happening can you make peace with it? Can you trust that everything will get done in it's right time? Take a listen.

In today's solo episode I'm talking about the power of giving for the sake of giving without any strings attached and is that act really "random" or I think... more intentional.

I share a few stories of how gifts have come into my life and how it feels to be the giver as well as our belief system around how much abundance really is in the universe and will there be enough if we give it away?

This conversation with my guest, Elizabeth Brunner, is so much more than talking about kids clothes.  It's about being an advocate for our children, following the strong impulses to create something more in our life and career, conscious parenting and conscious living.

Elizabeth is the Founder and CEO of StereoType, a pioneering gender-free kids' fashion brand that aims to break-free from traditional gendered clothing by creating what she coined as "blended fashion" — a mix of girl and boy esthetics that are equal in value and defined by no one. 

Inspired by her girl-boy twins to start StereoType, Elizabeth would observe her twins who at a young age would often naturally be drawn to wear pieces from each others' closets to create their own unique blended fashion style that authentically represented who they are and how they wanted to dress. From watching her twins dress, Elizabeth was inspired by the way they joyfully broke the rules of traditional dressing and soon realized it was time to unlearn the rules of gendered fashion. She did this by supporting and encouraging her twins to discover their individuality by embracing a blended fashion approach where any piece of clothing could be worn by any child, regardless of gender.

It's a big topic and one that I was interested in diving  into with my mama friend's, Lara Plutte and Rachael Blair. This is our second Mama Tribe episode discussing topics around mothering through the ages and stages of life with kids. I love hearing the different perspective and experiences we all bring to the table.

Lara combines her experiences as a therapist, teacher, writer & mom to provide unique & practical healing tools & support to her clients.

Rachael Blair is host of the podcast Raising Vibrant Kids.  She is a wife, mother of 3 and a nurse. By focusing on mind-body-heart awareness, how we create with our thoughts and using emotions as a feedback mechanism, she’s teaching parents and children how to connect to their inner voice.  When we align with that voice, we are able to follow our curiosity, passion, and find so much joy.
