How do we help our kids feel safe when the world feels scary?



In this deeply moving conversation, Wendy welcomes back author Dorena Williamson to talk about her newest children’s book, Every Breath, Every Blessing. Together, they explore how to support kids through big feelings, fear, grief, and uncertainty, while anchoring them in hope, faith, and emotional resilience.



Dorena shares the powerful story behind the book, written in the aftermath of tragedy in her Nashville community, and how it became a tool to help children (and adults) process hard moments with honesty and grace.



You’ll learn how to guide your kids in naming their emotions, using breath as a calming tool, and finding small glimpses of goodness even in the hardest seasons.



This episode is a gentle, grounding reminder that even when life feels overwhelming, we are not alone, and there is always a way back to peace, one breath at a time.

Montessori Learning Environment for Baby

Birth doesn't always begin the way we imagine it will. In this Community Birth Story episode, Deb sits down with Elena Santoro to hear the story of how a routine 38-week prenatal appointment unexpectedly turned into the birth of her baby. What began as a regular check-up quickly shifted into an induction, requiring Elena to adjust her expectations and embrace an entirely different birth experience than the one she had envisioned.



Elena reflects on preparing for birth, navigating the emotions of an unexpected induction, and the support that helped her stay grounded throughout labor. She also shares a poignant moment of thinking about her family back in Rome as she welcomed her baby in New York, and offers reassurance for parents who worry about birth not going according to plan. This conversation is a beautiful reminder that while birth may be unpredictable, flexibility, support, and trust can help carry you through.

Ep. 509 Therapeutic Movement for Pain and Pregnancy with Jessica Jennings

Host Kaile Garcia welcomes Lori Harding, a Dallas-based Pilates instructor and solo mom of an under-one-year-old, to discuss working out postpartum and its physical and mental health benefits.



Lori shares her planned C-section birth story due to placenta previa, her IVF baby born on World IVF Day, and returning to exercise about eight weeks postpartum after being medically cleared.



She explains contemporary Pilates on a reformer as strength-focused training distinct from classical Pilates, and describes how she supports postpartum and pregnant clients with modifications, accessible transitions, and encouragement to listen to their bodies and give themselves grace.



The episode includes at-home movement ideas (squats, lunges, light weights, standing core) and Lori’s “aha” moment from her first postpartum class.

Working Out After Baby: Pilates, Strength, and Getting Your Pink Back

What if yoga could help kids build resilience, emotional regulation, and confidence, without needing perfection, pressure, or performance?



In this episode, Wendy sits down with Lauren Chaitoff, founder of Yogi Beans, to talk about how yoga practices can support kids through big feelings, hard moments, and the everyday challenges of growing up.



Lauren shares how yoga helps children connect with their breath, bodies, emotions, and inner world in a way that builds self-awareness from the inside out. From holding a pose for one more breath to learning that “yoga is a practice, not a perfect,” this conversation is full of simple, doable ways to help kids grow resilience, self-compassion, and emotional steadiness.



If you’ve ever wished your child had more tools to calm their body, move through discomfort, or believe in themselves when something feels hard, this episode will feel like such a breath of fresh air.
