You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today we're diving into one of the most requested topics: what to do when rage takes over. I'm joined by parent coach Shelly Robinson to talk about what's really happening when we lose it on our kids, why it feels so hard to stay calm during everyday routines like getting out the door, and how we can show up with more intention—even when our capacity is low. We also unpack what it looks like to raise multiple kids with completely different nervous systems, and how to co-create routines that actually reduce conflict. If you're someone who feels like you're snapping more than you'd like—or you're navigating sibling tension, sensory mismatches, or that gnawing sense that you're failing—you're in the right place.  Alright folks, let's dive in.

Have you noticed that since school started, your afternoons feel more chaotic? Maybe your child walks in the door, drops their backpack, and bursts into tears—or lashes out over the smallest thing. It can leave you wondering if something is wrong with them…or with you.   The truth is, what you're seeing is incredibly common. In fact, there's even a name for it: restraint collapse.

Ever wonder what's happening inside your child's mind when big feelings take over? In this episode, Lindsey chats with Alyssa Campbell, emotional development expert, coauthor of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions, and CEO of Seed & Sew. This is your roadmap to raising conscious kids. Ahead, Alyssa illuminates the magical (and often misunderstood) “big kid” years—ages 5 to 12—revealing why this stage is so pivotal for lifelong emotional intelligence. She shares practical wisdom + tender stories, helping parents move out of survival mode and into true connection. If you're on a mission to raise emotionally healthy kids, Alyssa unpacks the role of nervous system health + explains why self-awareness is a parent's greatest superpower. She also shares simple tools for regulation, real-talk on parenting flops, and how to bring more compassion into daily life.

You're listening to Voices of Your Village, and today's conversation is one I've been looking forward to for a long time. If you are raising boys or teaching boys, or frankly just care about the humans they're becoming, this episode is for you. I'm joined by Joanna Schroeder and Christopher Pepper, authors of the new book Talk to your Boys. We dig into how boys are being shaped by the culture around them, including what they're exposed to online, what they're learning or not learning about emotions and connection, and how we as adults can show up in powerful, empathetic ways. This is such a rich, important conversation about masculinity, care, vulnerability, and how to raise boys who grow into connected, kind, emotionally healthy men. All right, folks. Let's dive in.
