Ann Brown, friend and educator, joins us again for a heartfelt episode on holidays. We talk about Santa, gift-giving, rituals, religion, and the validation of "wanting more." Ann's insights and recommendations are practical, funny, and easy to implement.
Ann Brown has been a parenting educator and consultant for over forty years, working with individual parents, couples and groups. She taught her first parenting class when she was still pregnant with her first child, which means she really didn't know what raising kids was all about. Over the decades, she has raised her two sons, taught classes at Marylhurst Early Childhood Center in Oregon City, trained as a Waldorf teacher, created parenting support groups for the Hannah Andersson Family Foundation, and led workshops in California and Oregon. Her favorite gig, however, was co-hosting a cable television show with Dr. Amy, called "The Motherload", in which she and Dr. Amy answered parenting questions from callers and on-camera guests.
If you'd like to consult with Ann, you can reach her at [email protected]
Ann recommends getting accurate information about the conflict from: Al Jezeera or Ha Aretz (an Israeli Newspaper in English).

As we wrap up November and leap into December, I wanted to touch base. November on the podcast was all-about-boundaries, I thought I might mention a thing or two about boundaries in the podcast. And as we prepare for all-things 2024, I hope you think of me for keynote possibilities, workshops, & training.

When families are tough, toxic, or hurtful to you and your children, what do you do? You set clear boundaries for your own mental health and protection. Listen in as my friend & colleague, Hayley Runnels, discuss why boundaries are important, albeit hard, especially as we move into the holidays.
Hayley is an author, advocate, influencer, and I'm lucky to call her my friend. She hosts and runs a group called, Daughters Recovering From Toxic Family Relationships on Facebook, where she has a group of over 45K members! If you experienced toxic relationships as a child, this is the group for you. Hayley's wisdom and compassion having lived this experience is like no other.

You're about to uncover so much about how we can approach people in a more compassionate way with my friend, Danni Verona.
Danni Verona is a Licensed Occupational Therapist who has been continuously serving the needs of families for 36 years. She specializes in infants, children and parenting and has gained her experience through working in schools, clinics, home visiting programs, and hospitals. As a mother of three children, a grandmother to a freshman in high school! Danni brings her love of learning and family into her experience. She is an Infant Massage program instructor, 5th degree Blackbelt Karate instructor and program director of a neurodiverse inclusive karate program she created through the Family Martial Arts Academy in Beaverton, and is a Certified Zero Balance practitioner.
Danni now practices in her private clinic, that she designed to supports children and their families specifically in how they can discover the best way to optimize their personal processing and regulation needs. Danni has developed tools and programs to support individuals in learning more about their body’s needs, as well as how their thinking and neurological processing impacts their ability to learn, regulate and interact with others.
Danni’s guiding philosophy is, “Working with the 'whole' child, means recognizing that they are whole, and it’s our job as the caretakers of children to meet their needs by seeing who they are, and where they are in their personal development. In order to do that we have to continue to learn about our own processing systems, so we can create the circumstances and support that allows the children to grow into their greatest potential."
