Episode 100: We Save Kids By Saving Ourselves First
Episode 2 Finale! Today, I discuss why my focus is narrowing. As a speaker and writer, I am striving to help the adults who most consistently influence kids: parents and educators. While the youth in our world are experiencing awful increases in anxiety, depression, and suicide, I feel hopeful for the future.
As adults, we have the power to model for the kids in our lives, how to navigate negative emotions, practice self compassion, and embrace our differences. Change is coming.
