Join us for an engaging conversation with Dr. Stephanie Dueger, a leading authority in child development and parenting, as she shares insights from her latest book, "Preparing for Parenthood: 55 Essential Conversations for Couples Becoming Families." As we navigate the uncharted waters of parenthood, Dr. Dueger emphasizes the transformative impact early childhood experiences have on lifelong relationships and the importance of meaningful preparation. From breastfeeding challenges to sleep deprivation, we explore the realities that often catch new parents by surprise and stress the need for open dialogue and realistic expectations.

Our discussion turns to the powerful role of partners as advocates during childbirth, highlighting the importance of knowledge and empowerment in overcoming fear-based perceptions of birthing. Together with Dr. Dueger, we unpack how healthy birth practices can ripple out to contribute positively to the well-being of our planet. By understanding and respecting the birth process, we can foster a more harmonious relationship with nature, breaking down the barriers that often cloud our perceptions of childbirth.

Venturing into the topic of cultivating conscious connections in parenting, we explore how to nurture children who are grounded and aware of their interconnectedness with the world around them. We discuss the joy of encouraging children to engage with nature and share personal stories that capture their innate spirituality and wonder. The conversation emphasizes the healing power of self-care for parents and the essential role it plays in creating nurturing environments where both children and caregivers can thrive. Through intentional and thoughtful parenting practices, we aim to raise individuals who are prepared to navigate and contribute positively to an ever-evolving world.

What if you could help your child achieve emotional balance through simple, mindful movement? Join me, Carrie, along with our insightful guest, Rob Owen, as we explore how practices like Tai Chi and Qigong can revolutionize the way children connect with their bodies and minds. Rob, an experienced educator and martial artist, shares invaluable strategies for parents and educators aiming to enhance focus and manage stress in children, especially those navigating challenges like ADHD or transitioning from high-energy activities.

As parents, we often look for ways to help our children manage their emotions, and physical movement can be a powerful ally in this quest. I share personal anecdotes, like my son's love for boxing as a means to ground himself, and how I rely on dancing to calm my nerves before public speaking engagements. Together, we underscore the importance of integrating mindfulness into our daily routines, even if it's just for a few minutes. By modeling these practices, spending time in nature, and cultivating a gratitude practice, we can foster emotional resilience in sensitive and gifted children.

Building a mindful connection with our children is more important now than ever. This episode emphasizes moving away from traditional deficit-based paradigms and toward nurturing emotional awareness and connection. Rob and I discuss how recognizing the space between thoughts and emotions allows us and our children to respond more consciously to life's challenges. Rob also shares his experiences with neurodiverse children, demonstrating how mindful movement can transform classroom dynamics and strengthen relationships. Tune in to discover practical ways to incorporate these transformative practices into your family life.

What happens when the parenting journey you signed up for takes an unexpected, yet beautiful detour? Join me, Carrie, along with our insightful guest Debbie Reber, parent activist and bestselling author of "Differently Wired," as we explore the profound and often challenging world of raising neurodiverse children. We share heartfelt stories about the unexpected paths we find ourselves on, much like preparing for a trip to Italy and landing in Amsterdam instead, and the unique joys that come from embracing these detours. Our conversation highlights the power of meeting our children where they are, respecting their individuality, and fostering environments both at home and in school that support their growth and well-being.

Together, Debbie and I dive into the importance of community and self-care for parents navigating the neurodivergent journey. We discuss how forming a "Jedi team" of supportive individuals can empower parents, and share personal experiences with various forms of self-care, from yoga to acupuncture. It's about finding the people and practices that sustain you and modeling resilience and growth for your children. This episode is filled with practical tips and encouragement for those who feel isolated, reminding you that sharing your authentic experiences can build a supportive network and that, sometimes, the most unexpected paths lead to the most rewarding destinations.
