1234: Reclaim 10 Hours: How to Put Your Soul Back on the Calendar

"It’s not our job to remove every obstacle from our children’s path. It’s our job to walk with them through it."
 
In this conversation, Heather sits down with Alyssa Black Campbell, author of Big Kids, Bigger Feelings, for a powerful discussion on emotional safety, nervous system regulation, and what kids really need to thrive at home and in the classroom.
 
They explore the myth of middle childhood being the “easiest” phase, how trauma-informed education changes lives, and why parenting is deeply personal, emotional, and yes sometimes selfish.
 
🩶What happens when we stop trying to fix every feeling and instead teach our kids how to feel them
 
🩶Why understanding your child’s unique nervous system is the key to emotional regulation
 
🩶How to support educators, avoid reactive parenting, and reframe “bad behavior” as unmet needs
 
This is a deeply validating conversation for anyone raising, teaching, or mentoring kids and especially those navigating the messiness of big feelings.
