Cooking is one of those household tasks that never ends. Every day people need to eat. So that means that unless you are down with takeout every single day or hiring a personal chef- other people in your household will have to help with cooking at some point. So why not get the kids involved with it right now? Learning to cook is not only an important life skill, but it teaches your kids so many skills: math, reading, creativity, the list goes on and on! And they can learn much younger than you probably thought!

In this episode, we’re joined by Katie Kimball, the national voice of healthy kids cooking, a two-time TEDx speaker, former teacher, mom of 4 kids, and founder of the Kids Cook Real Food eCourse that teaches kids of all ages how to cook! Her blog Kitchen Stewardship helps families stay healthy without going crazy, and she’s on a mission to connect families around healthy food, raise critical thinking skills using the lab of curiosity that is the kitchen, and grow the Kids' Meal Revolution where every child learns to cook.

Being a mom has many demands on a daily basis when it comes to our families, but there are also many demands when it comes to moms and working. As women, we often have to go above and beyond to show that we are worthy and qualified for our work, but are often held up to different standards because we are moms. 

In this episode, we welcome Christine Michel Carter to the show. Christine is the author of MOM AF and a Senior Contributor @ForbesWomen. She helps working moms transition to new flexible opportunities they love without sacrificing their income. Christine has 2 kids, 10 and 7, and lives in Baltimore.

We have a very lively conversation about how our skills as moms translate into amazing strengths in the work field, who donuts don’t get us any respect, and how to find a new journey or career path when the old one just isn’t doing it for you anymore.

A survey done in 2021 shows that more than half of all students report they’re struggling to complete schoolwork and almost half find it hard to focus in class. Why is that? It’s very possible that the standards for teaching in the U.S. are a bit behind the times. Kids have different educational needs, and yet, for the most part, our educational system hasn’t changed much over the past 200 years! One thing is for sure- one size doesn’t fit all for education!

In this episode, we are talking with Jerry Kolber, co-creator and narrator of the hit children's podcast WHO SMARTED?, Emmy-nominated co-creator and showrunner of Nat Geo's biggest hit series BRAIN GAMES, and Netflix's BRAINCHILD with Pharrell Williams.

We talk about how kids can’t all be taught with the same strategies (read this chapter and then retain it for your next test). Kids have different needs, both emotional and educational and that’s why we need to change the game in education.

Do you shy away from asking for things that you want because you’re afraid that it will be viewed as selfish? Many of us feel guilty and don’t ask for things that we really want (such as time away from the kids or even spending money on something that is just for us) because we are afraid that we are being so selfish.

In this episode we will be discussing what causes that stress and guilt when we want something that can be defined as “selfish”, ask if being selfish is actually a bad thing, and walk you through how to go after and really ask for what you want.

When our kids are feeling upset, many of us have been told that we need to teach our kids how to self-regulate on their own. But if we take a long hard look into neurodevelopment and how that affects our body and behaviors, and our kids' bodies and behaviors, you can see that kids can’t always regulate themselves. But how do we help them learn to self-regulate then? 

In this episode, we speak with Dr. Mona Delahook, a Child Psychologist and author of Beyond Behaviors as well as her newest book, Brain-Body Parenting: How to Stop Managing Behavior and Start Raising Joyful, Resilient Kids. She’s a mom to 3 grown kids ranging from 26-34, and is trying to shift the lens and change the paradigm of how our world views challenging behaviors!

We talk about how others can experience certain situations in a different way than others, how we can help our kids by using co-regulation, and what can we do as parents to nurture and build our kids’ ability to self-regulate.
