Caring for Children with Mindfulness and Creativity

In this episode, I’m speaking to all the parents, caregivers, and teachers out there—and to anyone who wants to strengthen their self-leadership through compassion and reflection. I share the story of how my Creative Parent, Mindful Parent journaling project began in the early days of the pandemic and explore how creativity and mindfulness continue to support me in both parenting and leadership.

The Importance of Showing Up with Dr. Naida Tushnet

Listen in to this interview of Dr. Naida Tushnet, a community activist whose activism spans many decades, issues, and approaches. In our conversation, we talk about Naida’s work for peace and justice and the throughline of advocating for and organizing with marginalized communities across issues that she’s been involved in over the years and that are particularly compelling to her at this moment in history–Palestinian freedom, solutions to homelessness, and ending the ICE raids in our communities. Naida has a deep sense of justice and desire for peace that is rooted in her life experiences and education, her heart, and her moral compass. When Naida was awarded the Senate District 33 Wonder Woman recognition from Senator Lena Gonzalez in 2024, her bio said this: Naida C. Tushnet, Ph.D., was an educator, first as a high school teacher and, for most of her career, as an applied researcher of educational and community-based programs. Since her retirement, she has served on commissions focused on improving the quality of life for seniors, serving as Chair of the Long Beach Commission on Aging, on the executive board of the Long Beach Gray Panthers, and Osher Lifelong Learning Institute at CSULB. She also serves on the steering committees of advocacy groups such as the Long Beach Area Peace Network, Long Beach Rising, and several Long Beach Democratic clubs. She received a BA from Grinnell College, an MA from Columbia University in history, and a PhD from Washington University in St. Louis in Policy Analysis and Administration. Since then, Naida has gone on to serve on Long Beach’s Police Oversight Commission. In the interview you’ll hear her talk about her work in Long Beach and how it connects to work beyond the local–statewide, national, and international. Her approach embodies the sentiments that “all politics is local” and “think global, act local.” Sign the petition for the Civil and Human Rights Investment Screening Policy mentioned in the podcast here: https://www.change.org/p/tell-long-beach-city-council-adopt-the-civil-and-human-rights-investment-screening-policy Leave Me a Message: www.speakpipe.com/rrlpodcast Connect: www.drchristinepetit.com LinkedIn: Christine E.

Why Wait to Create? "Ready" is a Mirage

The world needs what you uniquely have to contribute. No need to wait until you're "ready." No need to strive for perfection. No need to have a massive impact on day 1. Getting started, one tiny, imperfect step at a time, is what's most important. In this episode of Resourced & Resourceful Leadership, I encourage you to get started on whatever you'd like to create or move towards by sharing lessons I've learned that have helped me make this podcast (among other things).
