You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we are sharing an episode that we recorded a little while ago with Dr. Mariel Buqué about breaking cycles from our childhood. Let's get real. This can be a doozy and her book slays at teaching us how to do this. It's called Break the Cycle. It's a book that focuses on healing wounds of intergenerational trauma. We all come to adulthood with different things from our childhood that we might wanna pass on to our kids and carry forward, and some things that we don't wanna pass on or carry forward. She helps us navigate what this looks like in practice. She's brilliant and I'm so jazzed to share this episode again, and then get to share the breakdown afterward with Rach. Stay tuned for the breakdown at the end. All right, folks, let's dive in.

Social media can have a powerful negative effect on our lives, if we allow it to warp our thinking. However, once in a while, it can provide us with some absolute gems of wisdom. This Facebook post, by a friend who is a therapist, talks about what we can do with the past we cannot change. One of the hardest things we'll ever do is to stand on our principles when it would be easier to abandon them for some perceived short-term gain. Barry Brownstein reminds us that safety is found in principles, not lies. Article of the Day: This is not an easy article to ponder. It covers some extremely unpleasant possibilities that may be in our near future. Check out Madge Waggy's take on what to do when martial law comes to America.

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.

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.

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. I'm so stoked for y'all to get to tune in to this beautiful human and this conversation. All right.

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. I so dig that about Anna. I'm stoked for y 'all to dive into this episode and can't wait to hear your thoughts and feedback over on the gram. Come follow us at seed.and.sew on Instagram and let's chat more about this bad boy. All right, let's dive in.  Connect with Anna: LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/anna-housley-juster Website: www.annahousleyjuster.com Order the book: How to Train Your Amygdala 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.

Ease is the extra length and width that pattern designers add so that you can move in your clothes.

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.
