Thanks so much for having me. We are so excited to talk about this topic, so to start us off, will you tell us about your

background and what it is that you do? Well, I was introduced to Dutera in 2014 and have been a

wellness advocate since then. And in addition to that, I'm also a post-adoption support

specialist. And so all the work that I do in that area is

really about providing deep transformation and healing for adoptees, whether it's working with the

parents of adopted youth or directly with adult adoptees. That is incredible. Now, you know,

like you said, you work with a lot of children every single day. And one of the things that we want to know is what are some of the lifestyle routines that we can do with our own children, with children in our lives to start things off on the right foot.

So we have six kids and two grandkids and also, like you said, work with a lot of families.

And those families are working with children.

And we love teaching parents, caregivers, and even kids about their own nervous systems.

And we know that children, really all people, but specifically, since we're talking about kids, do best when they're getting what we call like signals of safety from adults.

And those can be kind of like explicit things.

Like we're telling them, hey, I'm here for you.
