Sonia is a wealth of knowledge as a mother & a small business-woman - AND she is also a piano & early childhood teacher, just like me! So we have a lot to talk about. We worked hard to keep our conversation around universal subjects for parents, but we can't help but get a little into the music side of things as well. Look for her offerings of piano lessons & early-childhood music @fortemusicstudiocalgary.

My chat with Corey was so interesting. An artist and musician, he brings a simple and straightforward approach to parenting (and life). Plus, he has a particularly unique perspective as a father with thoughts on adoption as well as dealing with a brain injury. For painting parties or band rehearsal space, you can find him at https://www.paintitparties.com.

Tasha is a well-known child psychologist in my sphere. It was such a pleasure to have her take off her professional hat and get to it about parenting. What a treat! This empty-nester likes to get right into it and so we did. We discussed that when struggling, particularly with grief, sometimes all we can do is lie in it. . . And, sometimes all we can do is. . . dance! If you are looking for family support, Tasha is a great resource. Find her at tashabelix.com

This mother of 3 children under 5 seems to take things in stride but remembers feeling a lot kinder before she had children. She has been an avid attendee of Music in Nature from the start. What a treat to get to sit down with her. Of course her kindness prevails! Kara is all about Enduring Kindness.

Rich is an artist in every possible way. He approaches everything he does relative to his artists demeanour. Aside from his vocation as a graphic artist, sculptor and set builder, Rich is passionate about parenting, family, mountaineering and soccer. He is an extreme early riser, and enjoys ambient music so Morning Musings was a 'no brainer'. Rich and I did not talk about his offerings, which are around branding art and design. He also has a wonderful venture that is connecting hiking to mapping to education and games for children, all in the form of an app: thewayfinder.com

"A family that plays together stays together!" This mother & massage therapist is catching her breath now that her children are in their twenties. We reflect on what it was like to grow up in the 70's with parents raised in Europe during WWII. We celebrate how parenting encourages growth and what inspires our children to want to spend time with us, even when they are old enough to do their own thing! Also, she manages a beautiful retreat in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, just north of Calgary: https://www.hipcamp.com/en-CA/land/alberta-collinswood-retreat-9mxhrpew?shareid=15limc5enl5

Caroline has a breadth of knowledge when it comes to early-childhood! She's been educated in the field plus has children and grandchildren. We talk about trusting your gut. She shares some of her personal stories that really hit home when it comes to advocating for what you need. It was no surprise that 'Gentle Intensity' was how the song evolved. Have a listen! Do you want to talk about parenting with me? Reach out & we'll chat. Or, if you'd rather I just write you your own intuitive song, I'll do that, too! Margaretdahlberg.com

What a beautiful woman, inside and out! Amy, mother and holistic practitioner, embodies beauty. Even her home smelled beautiful as I sat with her and recorded this podcast. You can find her wonderful blends at: https://www.lunaroseremedies.com/ We talk about how even though it looks masterful to be out in nature with our kids, we often do it because we do not feel like 'masters' when we stay at home. Her outdoorsy-ness made it easy to add the sounds of nature to her song: "Natural Serenity", which can be found on all of the music streaming sites.
