Episode 27:
Listen to as Mandy interviews Beth Tyson, MA, is a childhood trauma consultant, 3x best-selling author, keynote speaker, and an advocate for children in the child welfare system. She provides international training on childhood trauma and loss, and is currently working on a trauma-informed animated series for teens.
While working as a psychotherapist with kinship families (aka grandparents raising grandchildren), she was inspired to write a children’s book to help families cope with the trauma of being separated from their biological parents. Her tender-hearted book, A Grandfamily for Sullivan and her other books are available at bethtyson.com.
Most importantly, Beth is the mom to a spirited little girl with a secret stash of chocolate in her room, just like her mama.
Beth is graciously giving away her copy of the CARES model for connection after chaos
"A trauma-responsive "in the moment" method for caregivers and professionals"
As caregivers we want to help a child in distress, but we often say and do unhelpful things because we are overwhelmed by the child's behavior.
The C.A.R.E.S Model is a step-by-step trauma-responsive approach you can follow to co-regulate with a child who is in the fight/flight/freeze/fawn trauma response. This one-of-a-kind framework is a free gift to you, and signing up will also subscribe you to my monthly newsletter on childhood trauma. Access to the latest research and resources on childhood trauma will be included in your subscription, please subscribe to Beth's monthly Childhood Trauma Newsletter here: BethTyson.com.

Beth also has a private Facebook group you can join called Emotiminds, which is focused on trauma-informed care and trust-focused parenting.

*Trigger Warning: This episode will discuss a specific person’s experience with coparenting with a narcissist and sociopath. The content may be triggering to listeners with similar experiences.*
The average toxic person affects 10 people directly and/or indirectly in their life. Are you being affected by a narcissist or sociopath? Is your coparenting relationship full of drama, trauma and chaos?
Listen as Mandy interviews Grace W. Wroldson. Grace is the author of five self-help books available on Amazon. Through her books, Grace gives insight on how to cope with loving an alcoholic. Her newest books deliver essential survival strategies for co-parenting with a narcissist in a high-conflict custody battle.
Defying the odds, Grace overcame every obstacle that her ex placed in her path to happiness. She has since dedicated her life’s work to help other women and mothers cope, win, face failures, and find peace. Ultimately, her mission is to spare children from an alcoholic home or save them from abusive, toxic, personality-disordered parents by offering the secrets to her success and valuable survivor wisdom in her books.
Grace shares three suggestions and encouragement that has helped set her up for success when coparenting with a narcissist and sociopath.

Episode 18:
Mandy Connects with Kaili from Kaili Speaks.
We all have a moment (let’s be honest, multiple moments) that define who we are. Kaili seeks opportunities to chat with people about their defining moment to dive deeper to share what they learned from it. She digs into personal stories and then into the behavioral science and the logistics of how to use those traits and experiences to help us see each other in a new and different light.
She loves to share her mess with her audience, kinda like me, so you know you’re not alone. She talks about resilience, self acceptance, and more to help you realize ...
YOU ARE amazing, even when it doesn’t feel like it.
