MOVEMENT BREAKS: www.gonoodle.com
List of Take-Aways:
1) Develop a daily routine/schedule.
2) Designate a work space with all needed supplies on hand
3) Build in lots of breaks! Kids need movement and exercise. Play outside (if possible) or go to for kid movement break videos (Go Noodle Linked Above).
4) Create checklists/star charts for short tasks so kids can feel productive.
5) Lots of praise and positive reinforcement. It also really helps to praise effort and perseverance vs. “right” or “wrong” answers. Celebrate mistakes as learning opportunities.
6) Chunk tasks where possible if kids get overwhelmed.
7) Build in time for preferred activities (legos, puzzles, dance, music, etc.)
8) Let kids be as independent as possible-it’s okay to let them grapple a bit-they know you are there to support if needed
9) Let the kids teach YOU.
10) Reading for pleasure is a great way to learn! Let kids pick the books they want to read.
11) Don’t be afraid to reach out to your child’s teacher(s) and school staff for support.
12) Forgiveness and Flexibility: This is an unprecedented time and many families are under a great deal of stress. First and foremost, our kids need to know that they are loved and safe.
13) Kids are amazingly resilient. If they are loved and supported, they will be okay.

Hey Heal Squad! Today’s throwback episode is all about finding your voice, protecting your energy, and staying passionate about the work you do. Maria opens up about how her meditation practice has evolved over the years and why it’s been the foundation for her growth and clarity. She shares her go-to morning routines, the small habits that keep her grounded, and how she’s learned to stay flexible when life (and travel) shifts things around.
We also dive into the big questions like how do you keep passion alive in your work? How do you know when it’s time to walk away from a toxic environment? And what does happiness really mean once you’ve outgrown the old definitions of success?
Maria also reflects on the importance of setting boundaries with “takers,” building confidence by speaking up, and choosing peace over pressure. It’s a mix of practical wisdom, personal stories, and the healing tools that can help you create a life and career you actually love!
