I'm delighted to introduce this week's podcast sponsor, Barefoot Footwear Company, Vivo Barefoot.

Did you know that 90% of kids are wearing shoes that are too small, which prevents their normal natural growth?

And Vivo Barefoot shoes keep feet as barefoot as possible.

Because that is the best way to ensure feet stay naturally strong and healthy.

They actually increase foot strength and stability by up to 60%. I have known about them for years

because my husband guy is a big fan, but now I'm super excited because they've just launched

their first ever walker for toddlers and pre-schoolers.

The shoe is called pluma, meaning feather, and it's lightweight, flexible and so soft and

snug that actually socks aren't needed. So it's the perfect transition from barefoot to footwear.

Now Vivo Barefoot are offering Motherkind podcast listeners a 10% discount.

So use the code Motherkind VB on their website to take advantage of this fantastic offer.

That is Vivo Barefoot website and use the code Motherkind VB. Back to the episode.
