Two kids, same place, same time, different age, different experience. Learning hard things and perseverance are key skills. One kid was feeling it today, one was struggling. Both experiences are valid. He didn’t give up. He complained a lot, tested every ounce of my patience, but he came back and tried again. I’ll take that as a win. ❤️

As a Mother, it is my natural instinct to protect my children at all cost, all the time. But, I fight that instinct to protect them all the time because they need to go out into the world and practice making mistakes while I can still catch them. It just looks different now compared to when they were toddlers. It looks like long talks before bed, holding space for tears because they’re sharing how their feelings were hurt, lots of hugs, and mostly patience. I was also reminded today, that it’s ok for kids to go through hard things. It’s ok for them to struggle (safely). These difficult experiences create resilient humans. Let’s them be uncomfortable, they are growing! Growing is uncomfortable. 😉 But it’s worth it! 💕

Movement and Music: An Intergenerational Music Experience 🎶
Discover the joy of making music together in this unique six-week course designed to bridge generations through rhythm and song. Whether you are a parent, grandparent, or child, this class offers a vibrant space to connect, move, and create alongside your family and community.
Each session is divided into two engaging parts:
• Energy in Motion: We begin with 20 minutes of movement to get grounded, energized, and ready to play.
• Collaborative Chords: The remainder of the hour is dedicated to a group guitar and vocal lesson, where we’ll build our skills and find our collective voice.
The series culminates in a mini-concert for friends and family, giving participants the chance to showcase what they’ve learned in a supportive, celebratory environment.
Important Details:
• Requirements: Every participant will need to bring:
• Their own guitar.
• A guitar tuner (or a tuning app on a mobile device).
• A guitar pick.
• A 1-inch binder for song sheets and notes.
• Community Impact: This is a program with a purpose—100% of registration fees will be donated to a local cause.
• Who Should Join: Parents and grandparents are encouraged to register and participate alongside their children.
Registration Information:
Space is limited to ensure a quality experience for all participants, so early sign-up is recommended. The registration deadline is April 30.

How do we move from feeling stuck to living with true authority? In this episode, I’m joined by Richel Brousseau to dive into the seven pillars that transform how we show up in the world.
We explore the intersection of discernment, faith, and alignment, and why intention is the bridge between where you are and where you’re meant to be. This conversation is a call to reclaim the power of choosing, giving yourself full permission to lead your life, and finding the quiet strength in being truly present.

🤯 Everyone has a different ‘soundboard’ of skills, and that’s okay. But what if that difference is tied to how your nervous system learned to cope?
In this episode, we dive into the incredible workings of the brain and nervous system, exploring how past experiences (especially trauma) impact our unique skill levels—in both children and adults.
We also share the key to regulation:
• 🌬️ Breath Work
• 💃 Rhythmic Movement
• 🧘‍♀️ Co-regulation
Understanding our brain’s innate drive for pattern and connection helps us swap judgment for genuine curiosity. When we meet people where they are, we offer the ultimate empathy.
👉 Tune in to understand your own soundboard and learn practical steps for regulation!
