Welcome to episode 10 of the Resilient Moms Podcast! I'm thrilled that you are joining me as we dive into the imaginative and alluring world of anime. 

In this podcast I will break down the basics by style, genre, and rating to help you better understand the culture and art behind Japanese animation. 

This podcast episode was inspired by a good friend of mine. She recently asked me for show suggestions when her teen daughter was interested in watching anime. Naturally I was super excited to help out because I am a HUGE fan of anime and all things Japanese culture.

She is focused on community based work and is an advocate for mental wellness and healing in the Black community.

I am often asked,” Are you in the terrible two’s yet?” My response is always, “Yep. We were there at 11 months and still going strong.”

Tantrums are inevitable and a large part of your child’s development. They can make the most zen-like parent feel helpless and overwhelmed. Today I wanted to share some pointers on identifying what triggers your toddlers tantrums and how to effectively navigate through outbursts.

First Step: Breathe! You are NOT alone. I’m sure if you turn around right now, you would be greeted by an army of frazzled parents just like you.

Reading all the Pinterest lists that state some number followed by “Things you really need for your baby,” can be both redundant and exhausting. I lost track of how many lists I read and how half of them would contradict each other.

Today I will be talking about the bare necessities you need for your new baby- (And if you’re anything like me, you just started humming the song from the Jungle Book). 

So pull up a seat all you moms to be, and even you seasoned vets, there may be some new insight I can give you on products that I have tried and some new recommendations. 

All of the products that I am going to talk about RBP is not affiliated with. These are the products that I had to spend my own money on, so their reviews are solely based on actual use.
