Hey listeners! In today’s episode, we take a look at sibling dynamics based on things like birth order, age, and gender. We discuss how this real or perceived hierarchy can create what Dr. Daniel Amen refers to as “Special, Spoiled, or Entitled Dragons”. 

How does a parent successfully mediate between kids who are competing for attention? How do you teach your children the difference between fair and equal, and help them to overcome the harmful hierarchy? We cover all this and more. So grab your favorite sweet treat, a glass of the good stuff, and listen to Mindful Momma's Mixtape!

Hey listeners! Today we're continuing our discussion on anxiety. Anxiety gets the best of us. Heck, even the legendary musician Eddie Van Halen had performance anxiety. So how do you deal with it?

Tune in as Krista breaks down the causes and characteristics of anxiety. She also discusses how to be present and get in THE ZONE! Whether through meditation, going for a walk, drawing, dancing, singing, or playing sports. You can silence the "background noise" inside your brain!

Hey listeners! Today we're discussing anxiety, inferiority and how social media can make these feelings worse. From the "Martha Stewart Mom" who has it all together to the "Instagram Guitarist" with a million likes, we all compare ourselves to someone thinking: WHY CAN'T THAT BE ME?

We draw upon the work of Dr. Daniel Amen, who refers to anxiety and inferiority as "dragons from the past" in his groundbreaking psychology/self-help book Your Mind Is Always Listening.

We also discuss ways to cope with these feelings, including how music can be used as a form of therapy.
