These little baby steps that moms are taking across the country and across the world, I actually have so much hope that we can actually change that trajectory for our kids.” (10:21) “That was the realization for me, not just to figure out how to get it all done, but also create the mental space by everything having its time and place to go to.” (18:12)  “We can do all the right things for our health, but community and social relationships are the biggest predictor of longevity.” (20:31)   Resources Mentioned: The Wellness Mama Kids Cook Real Food Online Video Class Heart Math App Follow the Wellness Mama on Facebook | Instagram | Pinterest | YouTube | Twitter   Check out the full show notes page Keep up with everything Dr. Mariza Follow Dr. Mariza on Facebook | Instagram | Twitter | Youtube
