Read Write Think (and Listen) with Renee Podcast

In this episode, my daughter, Reilly Kate joins me as my special guest. Reilly is a reader, writer, and thinker. In this episode she brings a stack of latest favorite books to read. We begin the episode (after a microphone test and exploration) with a discussion of Kelly Dipucchio's picture book: Gaston - a story about LOVE! Two puppies discover that family is less about appearances and more about love. Reilly shares with us several of her theories, ideas, questions, and wonderings about all things Princesses, the possibilities of a career at NASA, falling and getting back up. She's 4 soon to be turning 5. I'm 45. I'm biased, she's the best. I'm grateful that I get to be her mom! I can't wait to see what her 5th year around the sun will bring. Happy Birthday Reilly Kate! I love you!

Episode 9: Personal Journeys of Growth and Transformation with Meghan Ryan

Meghan Ryan shares with us her personal journey of dealing with her soul gunk. We've all got soul gunk! Soul gunk prevents us from seeing our privilege, our bias, our whiteness, our blind-spots, our racism. When we deal with our soul gunk, we're able to feel more fully ourselves. When we are fully present, we're able to see those around us. Meghan shares with us what she learned through her own journey and how it has helped her in over two decades of her clinical work of supporting adolescent and young adults navigate and manage their emotional literacy, advocate for themselves, and for one another.

Episode 10: A Love Revolution with Bethanie Colwell

I'm joined by Bethanie Colwell who shares her story from teacher, to coach to edupreneur. Bethanie experienced a wake up call when a student she worked with took her life. This jolted Bethanie to ask us all, "What are we doing to support the children in our lives in ways that prevent the loss of life? What are we doing to support children so that that they can live out the fullness of their lives?" Bethanie urges us to consider designing learning, curriculum, and conversations that say - YOU MATTER! She's leading the way in a LOVE REVOLUTION...one inspired by beloved Fred Rogers who reminds us, "Knowing that we can be loved exactly as we are gives us all the best opportunity for growing into the healthiest of people." Let's design safe spaces for all children to thrive through human connection, kindness, and caring for ourselves, and one another. Viva la revolution!
