As a child, were you ever told "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger"? Alison unpacks this sentiment and much more as she explains the pivotal role of resilience and emotional regulation in nurturing young minds. This solo episode is a journey through the power of hope, understanding, and the creation of a secure environment that encourages children to face life's challenges with confidence. Alison shares her own stories from childhood, along with tangible methods that highlight the power of guiding our youth toward positive emotional responses. It's about teaching them to seek internal solutions, creating a foundation for lasting mental wellness.

Alison also dives into the lasting effects of childhood trauma on our adult lives. You will learn about how children are in a theta wave state and how this has long-term effects on our subconscious as we grow into adulthood. Consider how passing comments and early experiences have the potential to shape our core beliefs and behaviors for years to come. This episode is an invitation to a path of self-discovery and healing, where you will learn to question automatic emotional responses, striving for peace within yourself and in your relationships. Through understanding our past, we aim to take back control of our beliefs and foster a future of emotional health and harmony.
