In this episode, double board-certified dermatologist, Dr. Angela Casey joins us for an important and timely conversation about skincare for our tweens and teens.

Angela breaks down why young skin needs a very different approach, which ingredients can actually do more harm than good, and how parents can help their children navigate the overwhelming (and often misleading) skincare advice they see on social media from sponsored influencers.

She also shares insight into the skincare line she designed specifically for youth: Bright Girl to protect, support, and respect developing skin rather than strip or damage it.

Season 4 Premiere — Part 2

Every January tells us the same story: Be better. Do more. Try harder.

But what if real change doesn’t come from reinventing yourself? What if it comes from repairing your relationship with yourself?

In Part 2 of the Season 4 premiere, Danielle reframes personal growth through the lens of self-leadership, emotional safety, and self-trust. She explores why motivation fades, why discipline alone doesn’t work, and how many of our patterns are rooted in unmet needs, not failure.

This episode offers a grounded, compassionate way to move forward without pressure, shame, or starting over.

Season 4 Premiere — Part 1

You’re not lazy. You’re not unmotivated. And you’re not behind.

If you’re heading into the new year already feeling tired, this episode is for you.

In this Season 4 special two-part Premiere, Danielle explores the kind of exhaustion rest doesn’t fix: emotional fatigue, invisible labor, and the pressure of constantly holding things together. She unpacks why so many parents and leaders feel depleted before the year even begins and why burnout isn’t the full story.

This episode isn’t about doing less or pushing through. It’s about understanding what your exhaustion is trying to tell you.

✨ Reflection Questions Available If you’d like a set of gentle reflection questions to journal with after this episode, email Danielle at [email protected] and she will send them to you.

Some children don’t rush in. They watch. They listen. They take it all in.

In this episode, I’m joined by Christine Devane, author of Elephant Beach, for a powerful conversation about supporting shy children and how they teach us about belonging. We explore how to help shy kids integrate into group settings without forcing them to perform, how to guide other children toward inclusion and empathy, and why patience is one of the most underestimated tools adults have.

Christine shares the inspiration behind her children’s book and explains how stories can help children understand that shyness isn’t something to fix. It’s something to respect. We talk about giving children the space to observe, feel safe, and join in on their own terms, and how this approach builds confidence that lasts far beyond childhood.

What makes this conversation especially meaningful is that these strategies don’t apply only to shy kids. The insights shared here are transferable to any child who feels different, unsure, or on the outside. This episode reminds us that belonging doesn’t come from changing who a child is, but from changing how we welcome them.
