Here on the #8 ranked stress podcast,  I partner with parents to keep an eye on the family's stress levels. This week we're talking about how to give kids a sense of control when we ask them to do something. Because we're trying to keep them safe and help them grow, we often give kids a lot of instructions. When kids feel like they don't have a lot of control they push back and conflict results. Today I share some ideas on how to foster a balance of structure (things you control) and flexibility (things your kids can control) in your interactions with your kids.Lindsay Miller is a kids mindfulness coach, mindfulness educator and  host of The Stress Nanny Podcast.

This week on the #8 ranked stress podcast I share a life hack from my dear friend Rochelle. Each year she chooses a word to focus on for the whole year. The word is kind of a touchstone and an inspiration for how she wants to live through the year. Different from an intention or a goal, the word is just a gentle reminder of the ways she wants to show up in all the places she shows up. On this episode I talk through the practice, geek out on some neuroscience around the power of pointing your attention at a specific word and then invite you to choose a word and help your family members choose a word for the year. Thanks Rochelle for the inspiration for this episode! I'd love to hear what word you choose!Lindsay Miller is a kids mindfulness coach, mindfulness educator and host of The Stress Nanny Podcast.

When we start our day with mindfulness it's easier to return to that space throughout the day.

These three simple practices will just take a few minutes but they'll have a significant impact on your day.#mindfulness #mindfulmorning #mindfulnessmoments #mindfulfamily #mindfulliving #mindfulnessmeditation #meditation #morninghabitsIf you're looking to teach mindfulness to someone else, it's really important to have your own practice going strong so that you're sending the message of mindfulness in word and action.

This week on the #8 ranked stress podcast we're talking about how to cope with the loss of a pet. Mindfulness and pet grief expert Sarah Chauncey shares insights about how the special connections we have with our pets creates a unique kind of grief. Her thoughtful and candid approach to being "fiercly present" through the end of a pet's life and the grief that follows the loss will help you feel understood and supported as you navigate your own pet loss or support a loved one who is grieving the loss of a furry friend. Sarah Chauncey has written and edited for nearly every medium over the past three decades, from print to television to digital. Her writing has been featured on EckhartTolle.com, Modern Loss, as well as in Lion's Roar and Canadian Living. She lives on Vancouver Island in British Columbia (with her current cat, Ariel), where she divides her time between writing, editing nonfiction, and walking in nature. Sarah writes, among other things, about navigating the grief that comes through losing a pet. By directing addressing the realities of pet relationships (they usually live only a portion of the human life span) Sarah helps us connect with the realities of grief and the opportunities we have to make the most of our time with our pets. She's had a significant mindfulness practice since 2010 and she's been writing about techniques for developing mindfulness and self-awareness since 2014; Her book, P.S. I Love You More Than Tuna takes that experience and shines it through a paw-shaped lens.

Taken from the National Child Traumatic Stress Network, these steps will help you have conversations with your kids that support healing, compassion and empowerment.

Here on The Stress Nanny, the #8 Stress Podcast we talk through common stressors and how to minimize stress and build resilience. In this week's solo episode, I share an analogy for understanding how to tease apart stress. Comparing stress to a skein of yarn with a bunch of knots and tangles, I'll walk you through identifying what strands might be part of your stress knot. Once we get some clarity on which stressors we're dealing with, we can start to get clarity on how to work through them, slowing untangling the stress and allowing for greater functionality (in both yarn and people). During this episode, I refer to a free questionnaire on my website to help you get started in untangling your own stress! You can access that free questionnaire here.
