We're happy to have behavioral scientist, Dr. Zelana Montminy back on the pod to share her tips for how to cope during this pandemic. What can we do to help our children, our families and ourselves during this uncertain time? How do we manage the anxiety, fears and all of the stress? And most importantly, how can we combat the negative effects this new way of life is having on our children and in our relationships? Dr. Z explains there's actually a lot we can do, every single day---and pandemic or not, her teachings and practices still apply.

If you’re like us, we’ve been doing a lot of learning, unlearning, listening, reading, talking, self reflection, crying, lots of crying, more crying-it’s a fog to be honest. But here we are.  We are showing up for each other and for you--to share what we are feeling and our perspectives on how we’ve been processing the last week. We trust you know MH has always and will be an inclusive, diverse and anti-racist community.

Have you had the T talk with your kids yet? You know, the talk about technology, Internet safety and security? In this episode Orly shares something that happened with her 6 year old son that required a pretty big talk. If your children are using devices and you haven't had a conversation with them about boundaries and expectations, this could be a great lesson on where to begin. 

Plus, we share some of our favorite products helping us cope with quarantine life!

With Mother’s Day this weekend, we’re reminiscing about some of our favorite Mom memories. From sharing childhood stories about our Moms to how we hope our own children will remember us, we talk about all these full circle moments we’re having as mothers.

Plus we share a fun social distancing quiz you can do with your Mom to get to know them better by asking them questions like:

Who was your first boyfriend? What was your dream job when you were younger? What is something you’d want to change about our relationship? The whole list can be found here:

https://www.bustle.com/articles/81641-on-mothers-day-15-questions-to-ask-your-mom-so-you-two-can-become-closer-friends

And then Orly interviews Connor & Blake about her. Like “What is something Mommy always says to you? How old is Mommy? What is she really good at?” The list of questions to ask your kids on Mother’s Day can be found below. Just don’t forget to film it so you have that fun memory!
