Hi, this is Janet Landsbury. Welcome to Unruffled. Today I thought I would share a little

about my actual process in recording these podcasts, how I decide what to talk about,

and often it's very obvious.

I'll read a note that a parent sent to me

in emails or in messages, and it resonates as something that I know a lot of parents

would relate to or I have an idea in my head based on a lot of experience working with parents knowing

that this is a topic that a lot of people think about and wonder about.

So I'll take a stab at it myself, or I'll have an exchange somewhere,

maybe on one of my social media pages, that sparks my interest and sounds like something

that could help other people.

This time I thought I should catch up on responding to some of my emails.

Actually, it's not really catching up.

I don't think I'm ever going to be able to catch up,

but I thought I would take a stab at going through them one by one, the recent ones, and something interesting happened. The first one that I was reading,

I got a feeling about just an instinct about what could be missing here for this parent

that could help them and then most of the notes that I read after that I started

seeing them through this same lens that I'm going to talk about.

And with this lens on, this idea I had about how I could help,

I could see how it applied in every subsequent note,

even though they're all totally different,
