Today we are back and ready to take this negative morning and turn it into a positive!

I want to sleep in and sleep longer it feels so good but we all know that sometimes we just have to do the things that are hard like get up because we have school or work or whatever other appointment there may be. So today when it is one of those harder mornings we are going to work through it together as we are reminded we have the power to turn one horrible moment into a day full of positive moments! One negative does not cancel all the positives but WE have to make the change! Listen in to hear how we are making the change and what your challenge of the week is! Once you listen all the way through I will be waiting over on Instagram to hear how the challenge went! Instagram: @Talia_Anderson__

How Others Impact Our Open Mind

Tue, 26 Mar 2024 04:00:00 -0400

If you are looking for a way to teach your kids awareness of those around them this episode is for you! In today's episode we are talking about how just because others make certain decisions or conclusions about a person place or thing does not mean we have to have that conclusion before trying/ experiencing it first! This episode can stand on its own orrr can be a part 2 to last weeks episode about being open minded which focused specifically on ourselves. This week we tie in those around us and expand a little bit deeper into the idea of having an open mind.

If this episode helps you and your family please share it with someone else so we can continue supporting as many families as possible and please come let me know so I can personally thank you for listening in! My Instagram: HERE

Let's be talk about being Open Minded!

Tue, 19 Mar 2024 04:00:00 -0400

Hey there!! Do you think ideas and trying new things can be really powerful?

Embrace Exactly WHO YOU ARE

Tue, 12 Mar 2024 11:00:00 -0400

To embrace exactly who you are is a power we could all use!! Unfortunately we tend to not use this power and we give others the power to tear us down instead but that ends TODAY!! This episode is exactly the spice and encouragement our kids need to step into their confidence! You are going to want to listen to this if you have kids that are doubting themselves or are highly focused on what everyone else is thinking about them. Obviously them hearing this one time is not going to change anything but if you can play this multiple times maybe make a daily ritual before school out of it; try to say things similar to what is said in this episode and breathe it into them their subconscious is going to start to form a small belief to it and it will begin to become apart of them a super power they have always had but continue to not use will now be the number one tool in their toolbox!

I am so excited for you to listen in! If you love this and it helps your kids share it with another parent, a friend, or even a teacher so we can continue to get this message out!
Thank you for being you and being a listener here! I am beyond grateful for each and everyone of you!

Until next time!! XOXO

P.S. if we have not yet met directly come hangout over on Instagram and send me a DM so I can personally thank you for being apart of this community! Hopefully talk to you soon!!

Today we are diving deep into the concept that our emotions are our inner notifications! We have a very tactical 3 step process of learning how to listen to that notification and take in the information so that we can apply it and address the situation in the healthiest way possible!

Goal with this episode is to help you truly understand the strength of emotions and what they can tell you about yourself. It is also to help you have tactical steps when the emotions want to take over so you can keep control and address the situation rather than just react to it.

I can not wait to hear how this helps you!!

Today we are diving into the importance of listening to our body and letting ourselves recharge!! We talk about the three things our body needs to be charged and we reallllyyyy highlight sleep!! I know when we are young we get home from a long day we don't want to take a nap because we want to actually play and have fun we don't want to give up our freedom! but we have to remember that if we allow ourselves to rest and charge up we get to have that much more energy to put into our fun!!

I hope this perspective on sleep changes the littles minds and helps them see what sleep is actually for!!

(For Littles) What feels the best for you?

Tue, 09 May 2023 10:00:00 -0400

Today we are reminding our littles to check in with themselves and embrace their differences! To often we compare ourselves to others and try to be more like other people especially when we are younger. But we need to check back in with ourselves because truly we know what is best for ourselves! We know what feels good and what doesn't so instead of ignoring what our little voice in our head is saying lets start listening to it and using it as a guide!

Just because someone else is doing something one way does not mean that is the way that will work best for you! so instead of trying to become them embrace what works for you!!! We are meant to be different!!

I hope this topic is helpful today! I will talk to you soon!!

Until next time! XOXO

(For Littles) Have you ever been asked "what do you want to be when you grow up?"

Tue, 02 May 2023 07:00:00 -0400

What do you want to be when you grow up?

this question seems so simple but truly is sooo loaded. When we ask this we are giving off the impression that you can really only be one thing and once you choose that thing is what you do forever; but really life is fulll of soooo many options that no one really even knows about because the opportunities are almost endless!!! So today we are bringing our thoughts back to this question but rewriting the script a little bit! We are embracing all the opportunites that there really are in this world and making sure our littles know that they can change their mind every single day! of course this question was just to help tie everything in with an example but the point we are really trying to make here is YOU can be anything you want! Today you can decide to do and be one thing but tomorrow you can decide to do and be something else! It is all up to you, that is what makes us soo powrful!! So tap back into being you, embrace change, and lets show up as our most powerful self!!

Until next time! XOXO

(For Littles) Reminder that YOU are AWESOME

Tue, 25 Apr 2023 21:00:00 -0400

I am not sure about you but I know that sometimes I just need somebody to remind me that I am AWESOME!! So today I decided I should remind you!! Its really easy to forget and honestly its really easy to just not believe because of what others say or because we are looking around and just feel less than those around us for no reason!! So today we are making the decision to remember how cool and awesome we are! We do not need anyone else to tell us because we believe it and that is what matters!!!

I hope this episode boosts your spirits and helps you have a little laugh or a little fun in our busy weeks!
Let me know what you think!!! Should I do more like this?!

Can not wait to hear from you!!

Until next time!! XOXO

(For Littles) Being Bullied is NOT Your Normal and it is NOT Okay!

Tue, 18 Apr 2023 21:00:00 -0400

This episode is a little bit different... I like to be an upbeat friend for the kids who strikes belief into them but unfortunately some kids are going through things we try to block out. Some kids have a different experience in early ages of life and they deserve support too!

Today we is a day where we talk directly to the kids that are being bullied. The support is allll directed at them today to remind these kids that being bullied is not okay, being bullied is not because they are doing something wrong but all because the bully decided they were the person they would target, and lastly remind the kids to speak up and stand up for themselves!

I totally understand that this episode may not be helpful to everyone but it is a tool that NEEDS to be in the world for those that do need this extra support.

I hope this is helpful for you and your family!

In the episode I remind the kids I am here for them so if they do want to talk to me I seriously am here to totally support them in any way I can! Come get in contact with me on Instagram @Talia_Anderson__

Looking forward to hearing from you soon!!
We are in this together!!

Until next time!! XOXO

(For Littles) 3 Questions to Help You Understand Yourself

Tue, 04 Apr 2023 04:00:00 -0400

I am sooo excited about these three questions I shared today!! Sometimes I think we forget that if we do not understand why we are feeling a certain way nobody around us is going to get it either! These questions are meant to help our kids understand themselves so that we can understand them better and completely skip the step of misunderstanding where arguments usually start!!!

I hope this tool is helpful!!

(For Littles) How to Make a Tough Decision

Tue, 28 Mar 2023 04:00:00 -0400

Today we are diving into how to make a hard decision when we are placed in an unknown tough situation. I open up to the littles about something that happened to me when I was little at recess. It left me with a really hard choice and I was not sure what to do. The point of this episode is to help the littles understand they are not alone if this has happened to them but also that they can take a deep breath if or when it does because they are aware of how to go about handling the situation.

I am really excited about this episode and can not wait to hear what you all think!!

If we are not connected yet come find me on Instagram @Talia_Anderson__

My DMs are always open to you and your littles!! If you have questions come ask, if there is something specific in your world you want me to help explain or talk about with the kids come tell me! and if your littles want to say hi and connect deeper I would love that!! Literally anything!

(For Littles) Activate Your Appreciation

Tue, 21 Mar 2023 10:00:00 -0400

How often do you go up to the people you love and actually share with them what you love about them by telling them out loud? Honestly it is probably not that often! We all think people just know how we feel and its not true! There are a few things this episode is going to do for our littles..... #1. teach them how to think about the things they love about others #2. Help them practice showing gratitude #3. help them focus on positives rather than negatives.

I hope this episode is helpful and I hope this activity is fun for the kids and maybe pushes them outside their comfort zone a little bit!

(For Littles) Lets Reflect Together

Tue, 14 Mar 2023 04:00:00 -0400

Today we are taking a step back together. We are doing a quieter episode learning how to reflect and take inventory of how we are feeling! My goal with this episode is to give the littles a tool that can help them through uncomfortable situations so they can understand how they are feeling and also take a step back to be able to explain their feelings rather than just react and take action on them!!

I would LOVE to hear what you think! Come find me @Talia_Anderson__ on Instagram so we can connect and learn more together!!

(For Littles) The Secret Impact We Have On Others

Tue, 28 Feb 2023 04:00:00 -0500

Today we are diving into a superpower we may have not realized we have! This super power is the power to impact others without even knowing!! I want the littles to be able to grasp the concept that even though we may not feel like we are doing it, our daily choices encourage the people around us whether they are friends or strangers!
Us just choosing to try something new or be different teaches others that they can do the same which is SO POWERFUL!!

I hope this episode empowers everyone to be a little bit more themselves and reminds you that being different is never a bad thing!

Please come get in contact with me over on Instagram @Talia_Anderson__ tell me what you think and how you used this convo to help you in your day!! Can not wait to connect with YOU!!

With valentines day around the corner everyoneee is talking about sharing and spreading love and kindness especially in the schools. Yes I think loving others isss sooooo important but there is a step that a lot of people sometimes forget first.... That step is loving our selves!!!!

(For Littles) What is the ONE thing you would do if you knew everybody else would join you?!

Tue, 31 Jan 2023 04:00:00 -0500

Last week if you tuned in you knowed we talked about acting in ways just because we know it would make someone else like us or hangout with us or laugh at our jokes. We talked about how even though in the moment this feels fun because we feel like we "have" more friends.... but deep down these people do not like the true us and that feels really bad! Soo today we are expanding on it! We are asking ourselves what is the one thing we would do if we knew everyone else would join us, everyone else would be just as excited as us?! this question is not only here to help us figure out who we are butttt to figure out what our next step is, and also figure out what we need to do next because we know exactly what it is that would make us most happy!!!1

This queationg is realllyyy going to help kids think on a lottt deeper level! A level that they have always had the capacity to think at but never knew what to ask themselves to think at that level so LETS GIVE IT TO THEM!!

Once you listen in PLEASEEE help your kids come tell me what it is that they want to do/ are going to do now that they know what it is!

(For Littles) What Holiday Are YOU Excited For?

Tue, 13 Dec 2022 04:00:00 -0500

Idk about you but when I was younger all the different holidays were touched on verryyyyy briefly and I did not really fully understand how people celebrate completely different holidays at the same time as I am celebrating a holiday... I dont think many kids do understand this because there is this weird stigma where we don't share and talk about different beliefs which I think need to change!! Today we are diving into EMBRACING everyone's holidays and beliefs even if they are different than ours! We are talking about getting curious about all the different traditions and celebrations that are happening right now so we can maybe find something new we like or really just get excited about our differences together!!

I encourage you to have your kids ask their teachers, classmates, or even start a conversation about different traditions people have so they can understand that life has different cultures and it is okay to learn, be curious, and be excited about allll the diffrent beliefs we share!!

I hope you all LOVEEE todays episode! I think it for sure is going to get our littles minds thinking a lot deeeper! I can not wait to hear what you think!!

Also if we are not connected COME GET CONNECTED!!

You can find me on Instagram @Talia_Anderson__ and also fill out the form to join my email list in my bio!! Can not wait to chat with you soon!!

(For Littles) What can I ask Myself to take control of my anger?

Tue, 06 Dec 2022 08:00:00 -0500

Kids are learning sooo much as they get older. One of the biggest things they are navigating is how to understand their emotions and how to express them in a way that actually helps the situation. A lot of times this gets lost in the process because kids are choosing to express themselves through actions rather then words. Today we dive into a question that the kids can ask themselves in every situation where they notice themselves getting angry! This question if applied will help them figure out what to say that will express their anger properly so those listening can not only help fix the problem now but also for later!!! Our kids are smarter than we think and if we help them process their emotions with words they will feel better, more heard, and this will prevent chaos between everyone!

I hope this question helps you and your little navigate anger!! If it does I would LOVEE to know and I want to know how you guys are applying it so please come get in contact with me on Instagram @Talia_Anderson__ send me a DM and apply to my email list at the link in my bio to hear allll the future fun coming up!!!

Until next time! XOXO

(For Littles) My Words Matter and So Do I

Tue, 29 Nov 2022 08:00:00 -0500

Around the Holidays there is a LOTTT happening and I think it can be easy to always be thinking and in our own worlds missing what others are saying... I know I have been here but I also know I have been on the other side of it, where I am the person that is present and trying to share something super important but the person I am talking to seems like they do not even know I exist.

Today we are diving into how it can feel to not be heard and how we can try different strategies to get someone's attention so we know they are listening! I think as a kid when someone isn't listening to us we get veryyy upset and either lash out or just shut down and never speak up to advocate that we wanted to share something. My goal with this episode is to give kids tools so they know #1 they are not alone and #2 what tools to use instead of shutting down to help them get someone else's attention.

As always there is a fun affirmation as well!!!

Also last thing.. IDK if you heard and I never want you to be out of the loop but there are two different ways we can interact now!
#1 Instagram : @Talia_Anderson__
#2 Email List: go to my instagram listed above and there is a link in my bio for you to get ahold of me via email!! This is the place to be for allll the new updates can not wait to chat with you!!

Until next time! XOXO

Tue, 22 Nov 2022 04:00:00 -0500

If you are looking for a quick episode to add some extra value to your kids life this is going to be your JAM!! In honor of thanksgiving we are diving into what we are thankful for butttt if you do not celebrate thanksgiving this episode is FOR SURE still going to be a good one to play!! We are focusing on the positives of thinking about what we are thankful for and how making note of these things can actually help us feel more excited and happier!!

If you are looking for a little activity to keep the kids entertained I talked about how they can write or draw the things they are thankful for and this could honestly be for any day it does not have to just be for thanksgiving!! I will be posting my version of this activity this week on my Instagram so listen in or come check out my Instagram @Talia_Anderson__ to see and example of this activity!!

(For Littles) Thoughts Have Power

Tue, 15 Nov 2022 04:00:00 -0500

Today we are jumping into how the things that we think can actually affect our entire day. I give the littles a helpful tool for when they really are not having a good morning or a happy thought towards doing something and need a way to turn the bad thoughts into good ones!

This podcast is about helping kids be aware of how amazing people truly are and how much power each of us has! I hope today is helpful!!

(For Adults) What are your thoughts before it happens???

Thu, 10 Nov 2022 04:00:00 -0500

Our thoughts have a lotttt more power than we let on. Whatever we are thinking controls how we show up. Today we are talking about what we can do to change our thoughts and our opinions towards certain things so we can always show up happier and excited in our lives!

Next week with the littles we are talking about the exact same thing and believe it or not I gave them the SAME tool! They may be younger than us but our tools can still help them and us at the same time!!

I can not wait to hear what you all think!!

(For Littles) it is okay to NOT be okay

Tue, 08 Nov 2022 04:00:00 -0500

Sometimes we are not at our 100% energy level. Sometimes we need more rest then others and this is not only true for us adults but for the littles. I want the kids to know that sometimes they will have days where they are feeling more tired than others. They might be in gym class and some kids might have a ton of energy while they feel like they need a nap and that is totally okay!! We are all different and we need different things on different days and I want the kids to understand that! We as adults and as kids are allowed to ask for help and to ask for a break when we need that!! There is no shame in it!!

Let me know if you love this episode! I love hearing what you think!!

Contact me on instagram @Talia_anderson__

(For Adults) it is okay to NOT be okay

Thu, 03 Nov 2022 04:00:00 -0400

Lets be real.... Everyday we do not feel 100% but we DONT have too!! It is okay to not always be at your best because no one is!! WE ARE HUMAN!! What matters is how we handle these days, how we get back into the groove when these days come to an end! Today we are talking all about this and how we need to show our littles that even adults have bad days!

I hope this episode is impactful for you and if it is PLEASE come get connected with me so I know you are loving it! I am so thankful for you!!

(For Littles) Words Have Power

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 04:00:00 -0400

We talk a LOT about power and today we are making sure the littles understand how our words have power. I clarify what different perspectives are with a fun example about a dog to paint a visual and then I tie it into how even our words can be heard differently than we mean them. It is important to grasp an understand on how our power can have a positive impact and a negative one. I think todays conversation will clarify a lot for the littles and maybe bring up some lightbulbs for them that should leave them feeling more aware of themselves and others!

I hope you enjoy this episode! If you do please come let me know on instagram @talia_anderson__ I love to hear from all of you!

Also do not forget we are having a GIVEAWAY you can see all the details on how to enter on my Instagram! Winner will be announced November 5th 2022!!

(For Adults) Words Have Power

Thu, 27 Oct 2022 04:00:00 -0400

Looking back at what affected me as a kid and what insecurities I had to work through as a teen and an adult I understand the power of words that come from the ones around us ESPECIALLY at a young age. Today we are talking about the power of our words and how they can affect kids negatively or positively. As adults we need to be aware of what we are saying and how we are saying it because we never know what it could truly affect in our little's lives.

This episode is really different than all my others for the adults because we are actually talking about us and how we can better ourselves rather than just the kids.

Please give me all the feedback! You can get in contact with me on Instagram @Talia_Anderson__

Until next time! XOXO

(For Littles) Who is behind the POWER?

Tue, 25 Oct 2022 04:00:00 -0400

Today we are connecting our last few weeks all together! We welcome a new team member to the group and the littles have a chance to reflect and test their minds to see if they remember any of the topics we have talked about the past couple weeks. Then we jump into talking about how they all come together and how everything can be handled/ taken on when we use that inner power! We talk about how even though we have made it fun and talk about our superhero selves, behind that super hero is actually just us, which means we are the superheroes!

The point of this episode is to hopefully really connect everything and make all episodes full circle for the littles!!

I hope you enjoy!! Until next time! XOXO

I want our kids to have self love as a tool for when others have not so loving things to say they are strong enough inside to handle it! We have a fun visual example of the fall trees and we are connecting the concept of fall changes to human changes! Lastly, we are sharing the affirmation of looking in the mirror and saying, "I love you just the way you are"! I hope the kids love this and I hope it can become apart of their routine!

In this episode the kids and I are diving in to navigating the emotions that come from a "bully" or someone who says something not so nice that hurts your feelings.

Lastly, I stress to the kids that no matter how we may be feelings things will change and we may have some bad days but we will also have good ones we just have to keep going and keep showing up because WE GOT THIS!!!
