How to raise a daughter, or a son, who feels strong and confident in her voice and her choices, particularly in a world where it might be easy to grow without a sense of your own needs, your own ideas and your own sense of self. And...not saying "sorry" for opinions, ideas, being different or standing alone!

Listen as we discuss what rules are important in a particular family and how different parents set those rules. Mean Moms? Good Moms? Loving Moms? Everyone finds their own parenting style. What matters most is reflecting on what works for you and for each of your children and finding your own way to teaching, guiding and loving your children.

Inuit parents use storytelling to help children manage difficult situations. They do so without yelling and without scolding through stories, play and imagination. Here are a few of my thoughts on how we can learn from Inuit parents and create our own stories and narratives to raise children with kindness and understanding. This is the beginning of an ongoing conversation of reflecting on the stories that create meaning and connection in our lives and in our culture.

Love to hear your thoughts on stories, meaning-making, culture and personal development.

The book "Yes Day" by Amy Krause Rosenthal challenges us to change our routines and be less predictable. It challenges us to give children voice and power while trusting that we can all be safe in their choices. The surprise of trying our own "yes days" is that we learn so much about ourselves, our comfort zone, and nest of all, our children's comfort zones and their needs. Enjoy this archive podcast as 3 families describe how Yes Days go for them!
