Many listeners tell me their favorite parts of the podcast are the affirmations and the songs, so I thought why not create an episode that is ALL songs and affirmations? Introducing a new song "Deep Breath In" along with old favorites "I Like Me" and "Ice Cream Cone."

A Seed Begins to Sprout

Today, we'll imagine growing deep strong roots, sprouting for the first time, and growing tall. This episode picks up the thread from our episode "Planting a Seed" from a few weeks ago.

A Mindful Way to Say I Love You

My hero, Mister Rogers, often said "there are many ways to say I love you." As Valentine’s Day approaches, I’m sure many of you are thinking about love. So I wanted to share a mindful way to say "I love you" by sending loving-kindness wishes. Some of you grownups might be familiar with a mindfulness practice known as a loving-kindness meditation. This is kind of like that, except we get to make wishes!
