Summer is a time for fun and activities and kids can't wait to get out of school but it also brings out the unknown which for many kids provides a lot of anxiety. Schedules are off, activities are added and what is fun can be overwhelming too. This week I talk about what are some things that cause anxiety in kids during the summer and what you can help to ease that transition to have a happy balanced summer holiday.

Happy Father's to all men out there who are fathers in some way and give, love, mentor and nurture the people in your life. When we are young we try so hard to not be like our parents only to find out how much we are actually alike. Today I celebrate dads and the things they have taught us by sharing stories of what my dad taught me and the biggest ways he impacted my life which shaped me to who I am today. Happy Father's Day to you dad, to my husband and to all dads out there. Celebrate you, you deserve it!

Are they truly a generation that can't do or think much on their own. In this week's podcast I talk about common behaviours among the generations and what we can do to help save the next generation.

Technology and social media is part of everyone's life and has connected the world and each other in ways that only seemed futuristic not too long ago. It has also disconnected our human connection to each other giving rise to anxiety, depression and loneliness. Humans need human connections to feel alive and loved and to have relationships. This week I talk about how we can build our relationships and bring back the human connection to each other. Leah's Likes: Brain: online course - continue to expand your knowledge about anything. Knowledge is exercise for the brain. Health: Disconnect from your devises and social media sometimes. Give your mind, body and soul some breathing room to just be. Indulgence: Mangos - my favourite fruit that brings me joy when it is fresh and ripe. Find your favourite fruit and enjoy the small moment of eating it, it feels great.

Navigating our own relationships is work enough but having to think of our children and the relationships they will have adds more work. Our children are always watching and mirroring us and our behaviours so it is important to show them good healthy relationships as it will affect their own in the future. This week I talk about ways we can ensure our children have good healthy relationships of their own in the future. Leah's Likes: Brain: Board Games - many challenge the mind and are also good fun. Pull out the old games and have a little fun and sharpen that brain power as well.
