Today's episode marks the beginning of a four-part series on coping with specific holiday scenarios, including infertility, pregnancy, postpartum, and pregnancy loss. We will discuss tips and tricks that can also be useful at other times of the year when emotional challenges arise. I'll offer coping skills that can help you, especially in your interactions with others. Today's focus is on infertility and how to navigate the holidays when you are struggling. Join us! Show Highlights: Handling the inevitable questions from friends, family, and acquaintances The “preloaded” expected feelings that come with the holidays–and the pressure they bring Navigating family gatherings when the spotlight is on you It's okay to feel jealous, angry, sad, and resentful when others are experiencing what you desperately want. Intrusive questions are coming your way—for sure! (Everyone has an opinion on what you should do!) Understanding the emotional landscape you're in Gentle reframes to use as coping skills: It's okay to feel however you feel, as opposed to how you think you should feel. (Shift from judgment to compassion and understanding.) When things get busy, it's harder to pay attention to what you need. (Take time for grounding, centering, and self-care.) Don't be afraid to set boundaries as a way to honor your needs. When it comes to attending holiday events, set the following boundaries: Say NO. Have an exit strategy. Protect your energy and peace.  Resources: Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov.

Parenting a child who constantly melts down—even when you've tried every gentle parenting tip out there—can leave you exhausted and doubting yourself.You're doing your best to be calm and validating, yet you still feel like you're walking on eggshells. You're not alone. The truth is, gentle parenting isn't enough on its own—and understanding whycan completely change your family dynamic.Let's break down what gentle parenting gets right, what it misses, and how to help your child truly regulate and thrive. Learn more about why empathy without boundaries backfires, what “Regulate, Connect, Correct” really means, and how to shift from over-validation to true emotional safety.Why Doesn't Gentle Parenting Always Work?Gentle parenting promotes empathy, validation, and connection instead of harsh punishment. That's beautiful in theory—but many parents discover it's not enough in real life.Here's why: Validation alone doesn't calm a dysregulated brain.Kids may feel heard, but not necessarily safe.A dysregulated nervous system can't learn, connect, or cooperate.Empathy without boundaries often fuels anxiety and chaos.When kids stay stuck in big emotions, they become dependent on constant reassurance instead of learning self-regulation. That's when parents start feeling drained and walking on eggshells.

Hi, beautiful souls — it feels so good to be back with you! After a year away from the podcast, I felt called to return with something truly special. In this episode, I share a message from the 3I Atlas Comet — a rare interstellar visitor that entered our solar system this year and passed by the sun on October 29, 2025, where its energy was amplified for us on Earth. This comet's energy carries a powerful vibration of healing, rest, and feminine awakening, and I can't wait to tell you what she (yes, she!) shared with me. Even her name — ATLAS, which stands for Asteroid Terrestrial Impact Last Alert System — carries meaning: a gentle wake-up call from the Universe to realign with love and care for ourselves, each other, and the planet. I also open up about my own year of deep rest and recovery — how illness taught me to slow down, honor my body, and remember that my worth isn't tied to how productive I am. The comet arrived just as I was finding my way back to myself, and I could feel that her message wasn't just for me… it was for all of us.

Let me know what you loved about the episode!When was the last time you did something just because it lights you up?Not for the kids.Not for work.Not because it was productive or worthwhile.Just because you wanted to.In this episode, we're going deeper than time blocking, planners, colour-coding, and the endless juggling act of school runs, after-school clubs, and work. Because if you've ever looked at your beautifully organised calendar and still felt overwhelmed, this one's going to hit home.We explore:

This week, Scott welcomes Dr. Elisabet Lahti—educator, applied psychology researcher, and founder of the Sisu Lab. Dr. Lahti is the world’s leading expert on sisu, a Finnish concept that embodies extraordinary courage, resilience, and determination in the face of adversity. Together, they explore the meaning of sisu and how it can help us persevere even when we think we’ve reached our limits. Dr. Lahti shares her own personal experiences of struggle and growth, illustrating how strength and gentleness can coexist and create a more compassionate, resilient world. This heartfelt conversation is a celebration of inner power, perseverance, and the human capacity to overcome hardship with grace.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When you've been hurt or let down, or when you've failed over and over, it's easy to be way too hard on yourself and others. Maybe you've struggled to forgive yourself if you've blown it, or you can't forgive others if they have.  But my friend, there's hope! The gospel is anchored in grace, which means you can forgive others AND be gentle with yourself. Today on the 4:13, author and pastor Micah E. Davis will reframe your understanding of forgiveness, distinguishing the practice of forgiveness from the difficult process it requires. He'll unpack why forgiveness isn't easy, how to move forward when the pain feels too deep to let go, and steps you can take to live in the freedom Christ offers. So, if forgiveness feels out of reach—whether it's because you don't know how or because you simply don't want to—this conversation will give you the clarity and hope you need to take the next step toward peace, healing, and grace.
