The Adventures of Power Dog in Dogland is created in the ancestral lands of the Multnomah, Wasco, Kathlamet, Clackamas, Cowlitz, bands of Chinook, Tualatin Kalapuya, Molalla, and many other Tribes of the first people who made their homes along the rivers.

The adventure continues for the power pals on Dogland in this thrilling 8th episode of Season 2. The dogs are off again, but not before we examine the role of the fight, flight, or freeze response and how it is a natural part of your amazing brain, more specifically, the amygdala. Studies have shown that just learning about this can help kids manage anxiety and regulate themselves after surprises, stress, and fright. We love Anxiety Canada’s approach here, too: ​​https://www.anxietycanada.com/articles/fight-flight-freeze-anxiety-explained-for-kids/

If you and your family are seeking more podcast-based resources for building mindfulness toolkits, then we also HIGHLY recommend these three fellow Kids Listen member podcasts. Although designed for kids, we are finding them to be wonderful for multiple generations in our home.

If you haven’t listened to our sidequest, bonus episodes from the Fetcher Files called “The Dog Who Rode Into the Sunset, parts 1 & 2,” then you should probably go back and check those out.

The adventure continues for Power Dog and his friends on Dogland in this exciting sixth episode of Season 2. We open with a recap, a reminder of where everyone is at this moment in the story, and a rousing speech from President Bernie Sandals about the call to love our world in uncertain times. Thank you to author Joanna Macy for inspiring the talk that inspired the addition of this speech into our story. Our conversation was a response to Hank’s growing awareness of ecosystems and climate change. Thank you to his wonderful 2nd-grade teacher, Mme. Kate, for raising awareness through creativity for Hank and his peers! We discuss the words ‘ecosystem” and “phenomenon” in scientific and contextual meaning in this episode as well!

We are so excited to be sharing this special episode with you, based on conversations we’ve had as we try to understand what it feels like to process, feel, define, and heal from trauma, what it means to find balance when you might be afraid of failure, and the strength we gain from family and community–making any adventures pawsible.

As many parents and carers of kids know, the daily practice of guiding young people through life ranges from challenging to silly, and back again, and it can take us to deep places on a dime. This episode goes deep. We talk about how trauma can pass from body to body, how interconnected we are, and why it’s a gift in life to experience failure. We use tools like deep belly breathing, rhyming jokes, EMDR to unpack distressing memories, affirmations of love, speaking our stories, and asking for help to lean into strength. And, we also share more about Mom Slice’s past as a champion swordfighter!

Also, one of the sweetest things Hank has ever shared about Dogland is information about the planet’s “Great Great Tree” and the slogan, “We are all connected at our roots and rooted in our connection.”

Some further resources for grown people are:

On trauma and somatic healing: My Grandmother’s Hands by Resmaa Menakem

On everything from failure to shame to healing to living a wholehearted life, Brené Brown.

And, for people of all ages, we recommend listening to fellow Kids Listen member show, Best Day Yet Podcast, a show serving affirmations, adventures, and mindfulness tools for calmer, kinder, more confident kids.

Special thanks to Jason Roark who records, edits, and designs this show. He also provides original music including our theme song, which is sung by him and the wonderful, talented Jen Bernard. Jason was not able to edit this episode, but he set Phoebe & Hank up for success and a fun learning opportunity, which they enjoyed wholeheartedly. They had a blast using the free and fantastic resources at freeSFX dot com and Orange Free Sounds.

We are continuing our winter break, having a blast playing video games, reading books, and listening to other great podcasts for kids! One podcast we've been really enjoying is The Semi-adventures of Sheila from the same zany brains who've given us the nonsense magic of Buttons & Figs! Have a listen, and see for yourself how great comedy and nonsense go together in this silly story. We find Sheila highly relatable, and infectiously quotable, and we think you will too!

Meet Sheila, a 9-year-old restless rockhound, who gets in trouble...a lot. While grounded she discovers her rock collection has the power to transport her through space, time and reason! Join her as she embarks on a quest through the Islands of the Longago Sea, searching for the leftovers she needs to get back home.

Coming Semi-soon, the Semi-Adventures of Sheila

Brought to you by Buttons & Figs.

We are continuing our break while we celebrate Hanukkah here on Planet Earth, known as Howlukkah- the festival of lights on Dogland. Phoebe and Hank have a few silly jokes to share, followed by a replay of our Winter Howliday tale- Go Tail it on the Mountain!

We’re so happy we can share this special Winter Howliday episode with y'all! It’s a little different, as it’s not part of our serial, ongoing story. Join the dogs and Tick Tock Bunny as they celebrate their shortest days of the year together.

We close out the episode with a very sweet Hanukkah song by one of our most favorite bands, Peanut Butter Jams. It’s called Chanukah Lights from their delightful Holiday Bops album.
