Welcome to Commune, a global wellness community and online course platform featuring some of the world's greatest teachers.

We are on a mission to inspire, heal, pass down wisdom, and bring the world closer together.

This is the commune podcast, where each week we explore the ideas and practices that help us live

this healthy, connected, and purpose-filled life. So it's back to school, sort of.

For as long as I can remember, this time of year was full of nervous energy, new genes, and early morning wake-ups.

But this year is different.

For millions of kids, including my three scrubs, back to school this year, doesn't even require leaving the house. Distance learning

has created new and different challenges for teachers, kids, and parents. And today on the show,

I speak with Dr. Rebecca Brandstetter, a school psychologist, speaker, author, and the founder of

the Thriving School Psychologist Collective,

an online community dedicated to improving mental health in public schools.

Rebecca is dedicated to giving parents simple strategies they can use to help their family

navigate through these challenging circumstances.

You can check out her new course on Commune called Peace of Mind Parenting at

OneCommune.com slash parenting.

Rebecca's course offers a toolbox of techniques to manage stress, your own and your

children's, so you can focus on what's really important, connecting as a family.

We talk a lot about these strategies on the podcast today.

I hope you enjoy.

My name is Jeff Krasno, and welcome to Kamiu.

Thank you. I am here in Tepanga Canyon with Dr. Rebecca Brandstetter.

Yes, I like the accent.
