Welcome to Raising Good Humans.

I'm Dr. Lisa Pressman and today just in this world, so much hard stuff.

I am bringing you Clea Wade.

She's a New York Times bestselling author.

She's a poet and her work explores hope, resilience, and the power of love.

She wrote heart talk, where to begin, and what the road said, which is a beautiful children's book.

And her new book, Remember Love, Words for Tender Times.

We're going through, but we're going through it with the lens of mothers who have words and wisdom to share with our kids.

But like, they don't really want to hear our words of wisdom so much.

If you enjoyed this episode, don't feel like you can't take a little moment to write a little review and give a five star rating.

So I was thinking about one of the writings in this book and I thought it might help people understand because I think I look at the world through the lens of, of course, I have a particular psychological spin, but it's also could be just mindfulness or it could be poetry.

You know, it's like whatever speaks to you and I'm going to find the poem that I thought would be helpful in explaining certainly what I'm hoping to be able to get across.

And now I read this beautiful book with my daughters, like we're pulling out pieces to read together at the dinner table.

Because there are life lessons in here that don't come across as well when your mom is like, I'm so wise, let me tell you.

You know, something I learned so or felt so kind of early on when I was writing anyway is that if you really work hard at what you're writing, it can be universal.
