Ryan Pink is a survivor. Like many of us, he’s faced some hard things, and has come out the other side swinging.In this episode, we dive pretty deeply into trauma - what it is and isn’t, and how we can protect our kids from trauma digging too deeply into them.Ryan walks through his own healing journey, including how expensive it was (I hope you’re sitting down!).That experience led him to ask a lot of questions and talk to over 500 adults trying to heal from their own trauma, and he came up with some answers…and more questions.“What did we do to heal from trauma before therapy existed? Can we still tap into those strategies?”What if people don’t have a lot of money or bandwidth to figure out how to heal from their own demons?Ryan founded HopeGuide, an online service designed to reduce the barriers to healing for those with trauma. You’ll love hearing about how HopeGuide works, and even more, how Ryan instructs us to build resilience in our families for our children.Shall I spoil the ending? I think so:”Relationship is THE most important thing we can have.”If you’re on board with that, this interview is for you!Resourced We Mentioned Today:Hope Guide, for lower-cost guidance on healing from traumaThe Myth of Normal by Gabor Maté (Amazon/Bookshop.org)I talked all about helicopter parenting and free-range kids with Lenore SkenazyBuilding resilience in kids through self-compassion with Dr. Mary WildeTips for improving sleep qualityResearch on the different forms of magnesiumDr. Kelly Brogan on helping kids with depression and anxietyThe benefits of family dinnerDr. Meg Haworth on how your body might be holding onto trauma from childhood Kitchen Stewardship Kids Cook Real Food follow Katie on Instagram follow Kids Cook Real Food on Facebook Subscribe to the newsletter to get weekly updates Find the Healthy Parenting Handbook at kidscookrealfood.com/podcast Affiliate links used here.
