Summary

Johnna Holmgren (@foxmeetsbear) joins us!!!!!  In this episode we explore the beauty and value found in the motherhood role, challenging the notion of mothering drudgery and delving into the rich joy that comes with the responsibilities. Discover the power of establishing seasonal rhythms for authentic rest, home stability, and lifelong kinship with our children. From the importance of a rooted system that anchors both parent and child to the transformative benefits of predictable hikes and bedtime rituals, Johnna shares her insights on creating a family rhythm that fosters emotional intelligence and deepens the connection with nature. We also talk about the fascinating ethos of forest school, embracing cold therapy, and the simple nothingness of childhood. Learn the art of saying no to extracurricular activities and the surprising benefits of cold training in preparation for both winter and summer. Discover how less clothing in the fall and more clothing in late spring can educate the body and mind toward resilience. Johnna's experiences with cold showers, wild swimming, and the profound impact of intentional language on our posture towards life offer a unique perspective on building appreciation and joy for the cold. Tune in as they explore the ways in which our posture towards life, motherhood, and the cold influences our children and how committing to speaking positively can shape their outlook on the world. This episode is a celebration of embracing unconventional approaches, finding joy in simplicity, and fostering resilience within ourselves and our families.
