This interview couldn’t be coming out at a better time when toddler meltdowns and tantrums have the potential to be at their peak over the holidays. With late nights, more sugar than usual, overstimulation, and just the excitement of the holidays. So there is no greater guest to have on the show than Alyssa Blask Campbell, author of Tiny Humans, Big Emotions. Alyssa has a master’s degree in early childhood education, is the the CEO of Seed and Sew, and is an established podcaster and influencer. She has been featured as an emotional development expert in numerous national publications. In this conversation, we share the best ways to navigate big emotions from the tiny humans in our life by using a collaborative approach and working with your little one rather than against them. Its not just about regulating their emotions but ours as well. We get into the nitty gritty of emotional intelligence and what that means, how to not react with our default mode when our child has a tantrum, how to respond with intention, the difference between guilt and shame, and how to find calm in your childs storm while setting healthy boundaries.

| 004: Getting Pregnant with Hashimoto's | 08 Jul 2020 | 00:31:14 | |
So the question is, can you get pregnant with Hashimoto's? The answer is yes! This was something I definitely questioned when I was first starting to think about trying to conceive and wondered if I would have any challenges - as fertility can be something that is affected by autoimmune conditions and specifically, Hashimoto's thyroiditis. But I didn’t let the “what-ifs” get in my way. I just focused on all the things I could do to support my health and my thyroid gland. You will find out what I did and what you can do to give your body the best chances of conceiving with an autoimmune disease. Highlights from this episode:

| 003: Natural Preconception Planning | 24 Jun 2020 | 00:33:09 | |
It is so important to get your mind and body ready long before you want to get pregnant. First and foremost, make sure you are ready to have this baby! You will want to have many essential components of your life in place before you actually conceive. Of course, you can’t always plan things perfectly but as long as you do what you can, it can make a world of difference to support your body in conceiving naturally. This includes everything from removing the toxins in your home, to the supplements you are taking, the foods you are eating (and not eating), including regular exercise and managing your levels of stress. I get into all of this and so much more in this episode! Highlights from this episode:

In this episode, I am chatting with Dr. Ana-Maria Temple (The Eczema Lady), a board-certified pediatrician.

We discuss all the factors we have control over in addition to the ones we don't. The impact of gluten, dairy, histamine-containing foods, antibiotics, and why topical steroids are not the answer to heal eczema long-term. You will learn so much from this conversation, and I hope it helps many families dealing with eczema. Highlights from this episode:
