It’s back-to-school season—and for many families, that means a swirl of expectations, transitions, and emotional tides.
In this grounded yet expansive episode, Emily and Lisa are joined by educator and learning success coach Yvette Sequino for a timely and transformative conversation. From the invisible pressure kids are carrying to the ways parents and caregivers can recalibrate their support, this episode shines light on what real, heart-centered advocacy looks like in 2025.
This one is for anyone navigating school mornings, screen-time negotiations, late-night worries—or simply trying to hold space for the growing humans in their lives without losing themselves in the process.
🎒 In this episode, you’ll hear:
• The hidden stressors students carry into the classroom
• Why “trying harder” isn’t always the answer (and what is)
• How to support motivation and mindset without pressure
• The science of learning and the art of connection
• Ways to empower your children without rescuing or over-managing
• Creating more harmony in your home and school rhythm
• How to extend grace to yourself and others in seasons of transition
💫 A conversation that blends science, spirit, and the sacred art of seeing one another.
