From the outside, it looks like you’ve got parenting handled—school drop-offs, snack prep, bedtime routines. But in those hard moments… when your child is melting down and you’re not sure whether to comfort, correct, or just survive? It’s a different story. 👉 The big feelings. The overwhelm. The wish that they just had the words.

You’re not failing. You’re not overreacting. And you’re definitely not alone. In this practical, heart-centered episode, author and mom Constance Lewis shares how her book Miles and His Colorful Capes of Feelings helps kids name, understand, and navigate their emotions—using colors, capes, and connection. Born from her journey raising a child with complex medical needs, Constance turns everyday parenting moments into opportunities for emotional literacy that actually fit into real life.

💡 Your kids don’t just need to “use their words.” They need the tools to feel seen, heard, and understood. You can give them that.

🎯 What You’ll Learn:

✅ How to teach kids emotions in ways that stick (even on your busiest days)

✅ Creative tools for emotional literacy—beyond just talking

✅ Why emotional intelligence in childhood shapes lifelong resilience

✅ Simple ways to connect with your kids before feelings boil over
