It's no wonder it's been translated into over 33 languages. In this episode, we dive into the Danish approach to parenting and screen time, exploring how we can foster healthier, more connected relationships with technology for both ourselves and our kids. I love Jessica's work. It is truly life-changing for me. I've taken so many bits and pieces into my everyday life.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and in this episode I got to hang out with Rach and chat about why kids swear and how to handle it without shame. I am obsessed with this topic because there's so much nuance to it. I had seen a post on social media recently, and it was so black and white about it. As with a lot of things on social media, I wanted to dive into the nuance of what did you grow up experiencing? What's your culture around this and what are you afraid of? I'm not a human that you like meet and I'm like, oh my gosh, let's talk about the weather. I'm a human that you meet and I'm like, let's talk about your deepest fears. And so that is what we got to kinda dive into here, as well as how to respond to our kids, how to raise children who are gonna have the social skills to thrive and know what it looks like to be out in the world, communicating with others, not knowing what their cultural context is gonna be around different verbiage.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I get to hang out with Neha Ruch. Neha is the founder of Mother Untitled, the leading platform for ambitious women embracing family life. As a thought leader, influencer, and sought -after speaker, Neha's work is shifting the narrative around stay -at -home motherhood, empowering women to find confidence and purpose in their parenting journey. Her book, The Power Pause: How To Plan A Career Break After Kids - And Come Back Stronger Than Ever offers powerful insights for those navigating career pauses and identity shifts. I loved chatting with Neha so much because I find myself often living in the gray area in life. Things aren't very black and white in my brain and Neha really embraces that gray. It's not you work 40 plus hours a week or you stay at home. It's not this or that or forever and always. It's really looking at what's feasible in this season, what feels right in this season. And I have passed this book along to so many humans in my life who are finding themselves in that black and white and really looking for the gray. This is not just for folks who want to be a stay -at -home parent and leave the workforce or have been a stay -at -home parent and want to re -enter the workforce. It's for anyone who's a parent because it opens up our mind to so many things that we might have shoulds or should nots built in and biases around.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today I get to hang out with Dr. Anna Housley Juster. Anna brings over 25 years of experience supporting children and families as a mental health clinician, education consultant, award -winning author, and parent. Anna specializes in early childhood trauma, anxiety, and behavioral challenges, blending her expertise in child development and mental health to support families, teachers, and social workers. She's also the author of How to Train Your Amygdala, a powerful tool for helping kids understand and manage big emotions. Anna's approach is informed by evidence -based therapies like TF -CBT, play therapy, and SPACE parent guidance. She's passionate about equipping caregivers with practical strategies to nurture emotional well -being. It was so rad to get to chat with Anna because I love her kids book, How to Train Your Amygdala, and how applicable her information is. I'm obsessed with talking to kids about their bodies and really teaching them how they work and not shying away from terms like amygdala because they feel really big and sciencey and foreign for a lot of us, and really leaning into that.

Ease is the extra length and width that pattern designers add so that you can move in your clothes. In this episode, we talk about how ease works and how to figure out the amount of ease that YOU like. It's a game-changer for making clothes that fit! We also answer a listener question about grading between sizes vs. pattern adjustments. Show Notes

You're listening to Voices of Your Village and today I get to hang out with Nancy Reddy. She's the author of The Good Mother Myth. Her previous books include the poetry collections Pocket Universe and Double Jinx, a winner of the National Poetry Series. I think we need to be screaming this from the rooftops that when we're trying to be a good mom, it actually leads to bad mental health and that there isn't this spot where we're like, okay, check, we're a great mom now. We're going to drop the ball and we're going to make mistakes. And what it means for us as individuals to feel like we're doing enough and being enough is so personalized. I loved this breakdown with Rach after where we got to dive into what this looks like in everyday life for us and how it shows up personally. I'm super stoked to share this episode with you. I think it's a message that so many of us need on repeat. All right, folks, let's dive in.  Connect with Nancy: Instagram: @nancy.o.reddy Website: www.nancyreddy.com Order the book: The Good Mother Myth Join the newsletter:  https://nancyreddy.substack.com/ Connect with us: Instagram: @seed.and.sew  Podcast page: Voices of Your Village Seed and Sew's Regulation Quiz: Take the Quiz Order Tiny Humans, Big Emotions now!  Website: seedandsew.org Music by: Ruby Adams and  Bensound Learn more about your ad choices.
