Why Community Matters, Part 2
Why Community Matters
Season 3
Nicole and Renee continue their conversation on why community matters, paying a bit more attention to the pain points of community - what they look and feel like and how we can hold space and then move through them. At the end, there's a special announcement for local moms! Thanks for listening in on this tender topic.
Listen in to the first episode of our new season, which will have a special focus on relationship. Renee and Nicole spend some time discussing community and why it actually really matters - especially in the context of raising kids. The conversation got so good that we wound up splitting it into two parts. Join in now to hear part 1!
Conflict is a normal part of life, but that doesn't make it any easier to deal with - especially when supporting kids. Whether it's siblings, friends, or classmates, conflict between children can feel really hard to navigate as a caregiver. Nicole and Renee talk about how conflict can be one of the richest opportunities to teach emotional intelligence, foster secure attachment, and build lifelong relationship skills.
Renee and Nicole take a pause mid-summer to discuss the overstimulation and emotional overload that can come with the summer season as a caregiver of young children.
An episode all about play...recorded in our newly opened indoor playspace! Nicole and Renee take on a topic that has much more to it than one might think. Diving into aspects such as play theory, how to set up spaces for play, and allowing kids to play independently, they discuss what plays reveals about your child...and you.
Renee and Nicole talk about a hard subject - grief - and what it can look like to parent through experiencing loss. Before hitting play, please keep in mind that this episode might be emotionally triggering for some, and may not be appropriate for some young listening ears.
Nicole and Renee talk about why transitions with our kids can feel so hard, and how we might be able to rethink or restructure transitions to feel more peaceful and maybe even a bit easier. So whether you identify with the getting out the door transition struggle, the mealtime transition struggle, or some other types of transition struggle, this episode has some good in it for you.
Nicole talks about the very real feeling of being triggered by child behavior and circumstances related to raising kids. She shares some stories from her own life while also offering some ideas to consider related to self-regulation, strategies for taking what we know about the brain and putting that into practical next steps, as well as ways to connect with your child during and after those triggering moments.
Renee and Nicole are back for another episode about attachment styles, and this time, Renee's sister, Catherine, joins in too. Their discussion explores this topic a bit more from both the academic, arial view and from the in-the-moment practical ways we relate to the kids in our lives.
In this episode, Renee and Nicole have a down-to-earth conversation about attachment styles and what they can look like in parenting. They talk through how understanding your own attachment style might help you show up more intentionally with your child, be kinder to yourself, and navigate relationships in healthier ways. Friendly reminder—Nicole and Renee are not therapists or doctors—just two moms learning as they go and sharing what’s been helpful for them. Our hope is that this episode feels like an honest, encouraging chat that gets you thinking and reflecting in your own parenting journey.
