Whether you're ten or one hundred, this conversation is ageless.

We know our light when we're very young.

Spend time with a child and you are sure to glimpse the soul's unguarded expression.

But spend time with two children and you're sure to recognize what makes them uniquely

different from each other.

Children have this natural knowingness.

That's why on matters of the soul, I really believe that adults should begin with what

does the child within me need.

For all of these reasons, Soul Shine is a children's book that grows with age.

It's meant to affirm the child and invite the adult to reconnect.

I hope that it stirs joy, encourages curiosity, and awakens wonder in you.

Hi, this is Dene.

I'm the founder of Simple Families.

Simple Families is an online community for parents who are seeking a simpler, more intentional

life.

In this show, we focus on minimalism with kids, positive parenting, family wellness, and

decreasing the mental load.

My perspectives are based in my firsthand experience raising kids, but also rooted in my PhD in

child development.

So, you're going to hear conversations that are based in research, but more importantly,

real life.

Thanks for joining us.
