Tess Taylor, President of the National Association for Record Industry Professionals, has even dubbed my style as “Beastie Boys for Babies” – a blend that's as fun for parents as it is for kids. Since Hendrix's birth, I've committed to producing an album each year (until Hendrix gets old enough to tell me to stop cause I'm embarrassing him:)) – a journey filled with funky, hard-rocking, hip-hoppin' tunes and relatable, hilarious stories I'd love to share with your audience. My work ranges from lively tracks like “Trash Truck,” “No Shirt Like My Daddy” “Mama's Gonna Love It,” “Sippy Cup,” “Phantom Poop,” and “Daddy Werewolf,” all available on Spotify and wherever anyone streams their music. Just this year, I was invited to join the Recording Academy as a voting member. In the future I'll submit my own albums for Grammy consideration in the Best Children's Music category. Beyond music, I'm a coach specializing in creative performance and leadership, helping creative entrepreneurs turn their visions into reality and bring their biggest ideas to life. I have a PhD in Positive Psychology from Claremont Graduate University, where I studied under Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi, the renowned author of “Flow.” Creative Parenting is a passion of mine - I've written a guide for parents on how to ignite and develop their kids' creative superpowers.

This week on Parent Tell Kaila talks about revamping kids music with Jeff Fajans, a creative coach and musician. Jeff decided to write and produce his own children's music albums after realizing that what was already out there just wasn't cutting it. Using the name Mrboodaddy (because who said our AIM names would never come in handy in our adult lives), Jeff has created a new style of music for kids that is edgy, relatable, and also doesn't make parents want to immediately insert some earplugs. Kaila and Jeff have an important discussion, where they kinda sorta bash the "traditional" kids' music, sorry not sorry, Little Miss Muffet, but also discuss that this new style of music goes deeper than just proclaiming a toddler's love for trash trucks. Millennial parents are focused on respecting their children as individuals and want to reach them creatively and encourage them to relate to the world around them.  Empowering children + giving them the respect that many of us who grew up with Baby Boomer parents didn't necessarily get until later in life, if at all = Big Millennial Parent Energy.Jeff Fajans is a creative performance & leadership coach who works with creators and entrepreneurs to help them bring their biggest ideas to life and become better leaders.

We've all the heard the saying "go with the flow", but getting into flow means so much more especially if you're speaking to Jeff Fajans. The theory and psychology of flow is so fascinating, and it can be defined as simply as being completely in the zone. I like this definition, though, "the holistic sensation that people feel when they act with total involvement."As a Doctorate of Positive Psychology, Jeff dedicates his work towards helping people, especially creatives, accomplish their big goals while achieving an optimal state of flow. As a fellow creative, Jeff shares tips on how to amplify your creativity and how to define creativity for yourself. Further, he shares amazing tips on how to trigger a flow state so you can get in the zone more often!
