136 - Consent Parenting with Rosalia Rivera Sep 03, 2020

Show notes

Hello everyone! Welcome to another episode of Voices of Your Village! Today on episode 136 I am joined by Rosalia Rivera to talk about consent parenting. What does it look like to parent from a place of consent? To teach our tiny humans from infancy what consent looks like, what it feels like, and how to advocate for it. This is a topic that is very dear to my heart and I am so jazzed that I got to hangout with Rosalia and chat about it with her. I have been following her on instagram and learning from her constantly.

After you tune in, come on over to instagram @seed.and.sew and let’s dive into your follow up questions and be in conversation about this topic. It is such a vital one. If we are gonna change the culture that our kids grow up in, compared to the one we grew up in (that I grew up in, for sure!) then we need to keep having these tough conversations.

Alright folks, let’s dive in!

131 - Birth control, fertility, and vaginas Jul 30, 2020

Show notes

Hey, everyone! Welcome to episode 131 of Voices of Your Village! Today we are diving into fertility and hormones and vaginas, oh my! During our conversation I learned so much from Lisa Hendrickson-Jack, author of The Fifth Vital Sign: Master Your Cycles & Optimize Your Fertility. Her book is so fascinating and definitely not what I grew up learning about my body. For me it has played such a huge role in my fertility journey. When I recorded this episode, it was during the time period where I was in the middle of my second miscarriage. So you’ll hear a little bit about my miscarriage journey. If you are not comfortable hearing about that you can hit pause on this episode and come back to it another time. Without further ado, let’s dive into my chat with Lisa Hendrickson-Jack.

130 - REBROADCAST - Co-reg vs Self-reg, with Katie Crosby Jul 23, 2020

Show notes

On this episode of Voices of Your Village, I chat with pediatric occupational therapist and woman behind Thriving Littles, Katie Crosby, about the important topic of co-regulation and self-regulation. What are they? What is the difference between co-reg and self-reg? When is co-reg appropriate versus self-reg and vice versa? What is the timeline for moving from co-reg in infancy to self-reg as kiddos get older? We dive into what co-regulating and self-regulating look like, what we as parents and caregivers need to bring to the table in order to help guide our kiddos through their big emotions, and what we need to do in order for our tiny humans to build the skill-set they need to self-regulate.
