An Attitude Of Gratitude

hello@shesoundslikeme.com (Rachael Laya Hoffman and Cyla Grace Hoffman) — Thu, 24 Nov 2022 01:13:03 +0000

This week we celebrate a season of gratitude with a deep discussion on what it means to truly be grateful. We share our families daily gratitude practice and what it means to lead with a grateful heart when it comes to communicating with those you love. Cyla speaks on how to create a ripple effect of love and appreciation, and how to pick yourself up and feel more grateful when things feel low.

Like we always say, “gratitude is the attitude” and we are very grateful for YOU. Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

Confidence - The Season 3 Finale!

hello@shesoundslikeme.com (Rachael Laya Hoffman) — Thu, 9 Jun 2022 17:49:45 +0000

Season 3 comes to a close with a light-hearted conversation about confidence. What is confidence anyways? How do we channel it, get more of it, feel it in our bodies and replenish it when we are feeling low? With an excerpt from Cyla’s interview with Joy Cho, on A Kid’s Book About Confidence, we hear another perspective on the subject and what happens to our confidence when we compare ourselves to others.

Another School Shooting

hello@shesoundslikeme.com (Rachael Laya Hoffman) — Wed, 25 May 2022 23:58:54 +0000

This episode may be sensitive for some listeners as we discuss the events of the senseless school shooting at Robb Elementary School in Uvalde, Texas as well as school preparedness at the grade school level.

There are no words to describe how we are all feeling on the heels of another school shooting, but no one's pain is worse than the parents that have lost their own. Our hearts go out to all those families affected by this vile and senseless act.

In today's episode, we work through what we are both feeling, how the current times shape active shooter preparedness in schools, how “hard lockdown” drills work and why, red flags on social media and how to move through and take action. For more information and a free copy of A Kids Book About School Shootings please visit www.akidsbookabout.co

Bullying

hello@shesoundslikeme.com (Rachael Laya Hoffman) — Wed, 27 Apr 2022 19:19:16 +0000

And so it begins. Name calling, teasing, whispers, dirty looks. Tricks of the bully business as old as the ages, and it is still as shocking and sad for all involved the day it begins for our kids. Bully behavior is happening earlier and earlier these days, with the help of the internet and social media, so how can we teach our kids how to prepare and handle this hurtful behavior from the start?

This week, Cyla explains a bit of how this started for her and shares some tips on how to cope from a kids perspective. We also tap into resources from our favs, A Kids Book About Bullying by Elizabeth Tom for more insight. Grown ups of girls can also learn how to apply real world techniques from the incredibly helpful book No More Mean Girls, written by child and adolescent psychotherapist Katie Hurley.

Grab your kids and listen in. Together, let’s remind them to treat others how they wish to be treated and that kindness really does make the world go ‘round.

Coronavirus, Covid-19, the Rona, whatever you call it, wherever you live, the global pandemic that started in 2019 still trudges on along with all the worries, fears and concerns that comes with it.

A Good Grieve: Dealing with Death

hello@shesoundslikeme.com (Rachael Laya Hoffman) — Fri, 11 Feb 2022 16:09:18 +0000

How do we process all of these big feelings when someone we love passes on?

This one is a bit on the heavy side, friends as we talk candidly about death, the process of dying and grieving those we love when they pass on. Listen in on our secular (non-religious) conversation about it all, in a podcast recorded soon after the sudden loss of a family member. As always, this is a made for kids episode, and the talks between us are supported by A Kids Book About Death by Author Taryn Schuelke.

Dad, this one's for you. You are loved and will be missed more than you know.

Dedicated to Lowell Pryor (1949 - 2022)

A Virtual Start To '22

hello@shesoundslikeme.com (Rachael Laya Hoffman) — Fri, 14 Jan 2022 02:56:29 +0000

Ahh.. the beginning of a new year, filled with opportunities, new goals and… more screen time?!? YUP.

Thanks to the uptick in the new Omicron variant and the rise of Covid-19 cases in our region, school kicked off with a virtual start to the new year. After months of in-person classes, Cyla and Rachael talk about the pows and wows of learning in this way, and the major setbacks of online school for elementary students. Plus, what it will means for them both when the kids finally go back. Le sigh...

A Covid Quarantined Christmas

hello@shesoundslikeme.com (Rachael Laya Hoffman) — Wed, 29 Dec 2021 17:16:37 +0000

Welp, it was 21 months in the making but the Hoff House finally got hit with the Coronavirus just a few days before Christmas. Rachael tests positive, while Cyla and her Dad remain negative and the whole house quarantines over the holiday break, cancelling plans with friends and family. The Covid "Bully" came knocking, but didn't blow our whole house down. Not exactly the outcome we were hoping for, but there are some silver linings along the way, and as always, much to be grateful for.

Gamification

hello@shesoundslikeme.com (Rachael Laya Hoffman) — Wed, 17 Nov 2021 12:00:00 +0000

This week's episode is all about gamification, and how to add fun and value to the more mundane tasks of an ordinary day. We talk about some varied methods of interactive point systems and how to apply them to incentivise each other to achieve greatness and be rewarded. On the flip side, gamification can create bad habits as well, especially when it comes to technology. Listen in!

Homesickness

hello@shesoundslikeme.com (Rachael Laya Hoffman) — Tue, 15 Jun 2021 19:32:51 +0000

It's it’s VERY important to prepare your child properly, especially after 16 months of stressful pandemic restrictions. Therefore, we have provided you a link from one of the nation’s top psychologists & camp advisers.

In this video, Dr. Chris Thurber provides tips for parents to work with their children BEFORE camp to ensure a smooth transition, and reduce the intensity of first-year campers’ homesickness and COVID concerns.

Even if your child has been to camp before, we HIGHLY recommend you review this resource so your child will have the best experience at camp and away from home this summer. Enjoy!

MLK & Racism - Part 1

hello@shesoundslikeme.com (Rachael Laya Hoffman) — Tue, 19 Jan 2021 12:00:00 +0000

Cyla reads excerpts from A Kids Book About Racism by Jelani Memory and Systemic Racism by Jordan Thierry, and explains the definition as read from those books on both.

We talk about what Racism sounds like, feels like and as white people, try to consider the struggle and oppression Black and Brown people must feel on a daily basis. We take the time to consider what we could do differently to contribute positively every day in our own lives and to speak out against racism whenever we see it.

I Dissent. The Loss and Legacy of RBG + A Book About Anxiety

hello@shesoundslikeme.com (Rachael Laya Hoffman) — Tue, 29 Sep 2020 07:00:19 +0000

This episode we felt a bit rocked by the news of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsberg passing on the night of Rosh Hashanah. We talk about the importance of RBGs contributions to our country and the ways she gave a voice to those that needed to be heard. We discuss how we can use the legacy of RBG’s famous phrase “I Dissent” in our own ways.

This news also led to an important discussion about Anxiety and thankfully we found a resource to discuss these big feelings in the series A Kid’s Book About.. this episode's topic, Anxiety. Written by Ross Szabo!

Cyla walks us through 3 breathing techniques to help manage Anxiety and some other ways to deal. Following the episode, Cyla reads A Kids’ Book About Anxiety, written by to our friends on YouTube and Instagram @shesoundslikeme - read along with us and check out some of these other helpful resources to keep handy next time you feel a belly full of goofballs:
