What if raising and supporting children wasn’t about doing more—but being more present? In this first episode, Cherie King invites parents, educators, and caregivers into a new way of showing up for the children in their lives—with connection, not perfection.

In this opening episode of Raising Hearts & Minds, educator, author, and child advocate Cherie shares the story behind her mission—and the powerful shift that happens when adults lead with calm, compassion, and connection. Whether you’re a parent, teacher, or someone who simply wants to support children well, this conversation is an invitation to let go of pressure and choose presence. Because when we show up differently, everything begins to change.
