241: Colorful Capes of Feelings- Andre & Constance Lewis

Welcome to the Young Dad Podcast—whether you're balancing a baby on your hip, stuck in carpool traffic, or just finally getting five minutes to yourself—we’re glad you're here. Grab your juice box, grab a snack, and let’s jump into today’s real and honest conversation.

Today’s guests are Constance Lewis and Andre Lewis, co-creators of Miles and the Colorful Capes of Feelings—a children’s book inspired by her son Miles’ journey through brain surgery and medical challenges. Constance and her husband Andre turned their family’s experience into a movement to help children understand and express their emotions through color-coded capes.

A women’s health nurse practitioner by profession and a mother of three, Constance brings heart, story, and science into how we raise emotionally strong children. This episode is for parents navigating big emotions, caregivers who want practical tools, and anyone passionate about building emotional intelligence in the next generation.
