Memorable Quotes:
“CBD is short for cannabidiol and is simply one molecule out of many in the cannabis plant. I think a lot of people hear cannabis plant, and they immediately think of the marijuana plant, but the cannabis plant is kind of like the overarching plant that you can split into the marijuana plant or if it contains less than a certain amount of THC in it, it becomes hemp.”
“An interesting point is that we actually make our own cannabinoids. That's why it's called the endocannabinoid system because we produce cannabinoids, and we actually produce it during exercise, during sleep, all of these healthy practices, but most of us don't produce enough.”
”It is legal in all 50 states because again, it's coming from the hemp plant. It's not a marijuana plant so you're not violating any federal laws.”
“I tell my clients that when you start taking CBD, up the amount that you would normally do in the morning. You could take some in the afternoon and then at night so that you build up that reserve in your system.”
“The only side effects I could imagine is if you took way too much, you would probably want to lay down and take a nap.”
“When I first started Motherhood Unstressed, I was doing a little bit of mommy influencing and that kind of stuff. And so a CBD brand reached out to me to promote their product.”
“Living intentionally to me means starting your day with the intention of like, I know, stuff is going to get crazy. That's the nature of life. But I’m not going to let these outside circumstances overwhelm me.”
“I can’t control anything else...but I can control how I react to it.”
“When a stressful situation comes, centering yourself back into that intention, you know, can be so, so powerful.”
“Think about what that does in someone's life, when you go out into your day, and you're not constantly reacting to things.”
“CBD is an amazing plant for so many reasons. But it is a great plant for pulling heavy toxic metals out of the ground. They actually used the hemp plant to clean up Chernobyl...So, quality matters.”

44: Parenting Your ADHD Child – 2 Dads Chime In with Dave and Keith
What are some of the common hesitations many dads feel when walking this journey with a child with ADHD?
In this episode of the Soaring Child podcast, 2 dads chime in and share with us about some of the challenges, obstacles, and hesitations they felt when first learning how to reduce ADHD symptoms naturally with their children.
“Is this going to work? Can we trust this?”
“I don’t want to spend the money on ‘another thing’ that may or may not work!”
“I don’t want my child to feel different.”
In this episode, Dave and Keith shared their personal experiences in helping their children on this journey and offered advice to both moms and dads tuning in who might be nervous about starting the natural journey to reduce ADHD symptoms.
Key Takeaways:
[4:02] About Dave and Keith
[8:21] ADHD symptoms their children were experiencing
[16:12] Hesitations about natural solutions for ADHD
[23:08] The common hesitation - "It won't work!"
[29:48] The common hesitation - "I don't want to waste the money!"
[31:16] The biggest obstacles Dave and Keith faced and how they overcame them
[45:35] Their advice for moms who are nervous to discuss natural solutions with their partners
Memorable Moments:
"Everything that seemed 'traditional' didn't work for us and didn't do anything for us, so it just became the time that we said, 'Let's try something more non-traditional.'"
"The cost of your program - which seemed like a lot upfront - was less than every other thing combined that didn't work."
"It doesn't really matter the cost. I'm trying to help my son be a better version of himself."
"If we medicate this child, we might gain something, but what are we going to lose?...It works sometimes, but other times it causes more problems than it solves."
"I looked at this girl every day and saw the struggle she was having. To me, there was no price on trying to figure that out. It was just that simple."
"I didn't want her to feel different because of something we were trying to do to help her."
"One of the things people are going to be worried about going in to this is that their kids are going to feel deprived. I can tell you 99% of the time, our daughter does not feel deprived."
"We had a lot of stuff to pull out of her diet, but it's worked. We've managed it. After a while, it didn't seem scary. It was just the everyday routine."
"Like any other thing you are doing as you're raising a child, if you're doing it as a team, it's probably going to turn out better."
"Don't say to your husband, 'Do this for me.' Do it for the child. And if there's anything you wouldn't do for the well-being of your child, then shame on you. You definitely got in the wrong business of being a parent."

"Healthy fats are critical for the growth and development of our compromised kids."
"You want to make sure you are drinking at least 6 cups of water a day and if you want to aim high, half their body weight up to their full body weight in ounces."
"If they're not drinking enough, play a game."
