The Best Things Are Free: Story Time

The Best Things Are Free: Story Time

The best things in life are free, or so they say. And for moms and dads everywhere, one of the most enjoyable (and free!) aspects of parenting is story time.

With this episode the podcast kicks off a new, limited series that dives deeper into the best free things in life. In honor of World Storytelling Day on March 20, I speak with co-founder of Once Upon A PJ Britt Gage about practical ways we can get the most out of story time with our children. Britt argues that, with a few simple tweaks, we can infuse story time with humor, happiness, and lasting family memories.

Here’s a preview:

[4:45] 3 reasons why story time may be for story telling (not book reading)

[10:00] What research says about the importance of a nightly story time routine

[14:00] Reading and story telling best practices

[17:15] How to use the PAJAMAS acronym to maximize story time with your child

There's Nothing Wrong With You

When we buy something, it's not necessarily about the *thing*. Oftentimes we are buying into a story about ourselves; namely, what we simply must fix as we seek to get one step closer to our aspirational, in-a-perfect-world self.

Important truth time: You are not a perpetual self-improvement project, and no product can fix what was never broken in the first place. On today's show: A conversation with author Cait Flanders about why she broke up with self-help content and flaws-first marketing messages (and why, too, she never looked back).

 

Here's a preview:

[5:00] Buying stuff to escape your feelings? (Me too.)

[10:00] The "there's something wrong with you" messaging starts in childhood, my friends

[13:00] Where's the line between prioritizing self-growth versus living in that perpetually sad place of 'less than'?

[20:00] Here's how your life may change if you stopped spending $$ on products to fix what you've been told is broken

[26:00] Musings on letting go of our aspirational selves once and for all
