268. Anxious Children: How We Can Better Support Them with Dr. Tammy Schamuhn
We are so pleased to have Dr. Tammy Schamuhn on the podcast today! Tammy started her professional career in the classroom as a teacher in inner-city schools in Canada. While she enjoyed teaching, it was clear to her that teaching was not her passion. What she DID love was caring for her students with behavioral issues like anxiety. Tammy went back to school to earn her Master’s Degree in Psychology and now combines her love of teaching with her love of being a therapist on a daily basis by helping children and parents with her platform, Institute of Child Psychology, and her play therapy practice. Tammy is here today to guide us and talk us through all things related to childhood anxiety. We are answering questions like is it normal for children to have anxiety? What does anxiety look like in kids? And when should we, as parents, intervene? We found today’s interview to be SO educational and FULL of mindblowing information. It really hit home for us! If you love today’s episode too, we’d love it if you would share this episode with a friend who needs to hear Tammy’s knowledge!Links & Resources:20% off your first order of Cymbiotika PLUS free shipping Free Shipping at GOODR with code ‘HERSELF’Use code ‘HERself’ on Amazon for 25% off your purchase of GoodwipesFollow Dr. Tammy Schamuhn on Instagram, Facebook, and YoutubeDr. Tammy’s WebsitePurchase Dr. Tammy’s Book; “The Parenting Handbook: Your Guide to Raising Resilient” Let’s connect!HERSELF PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/herselfpodcastHERSELF INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/herselfpodcastMEET AMY: http://instagram.com/ameskieferMEET ABBY:

266. Amy + Abby: Sustainable Shifts We're Making to Feel Good In the New Year
Today’s episode will be the last of the year! We thought this would be the perfect opportunity to discuss moving into 2025 with a healthy mindset.

We, Abby and Amy, have learned over the years how to start the new year with sustainable changes and mindset shifts that actually matter to us and our lifestyles. We are going to share our experiences from years past and the things we are shifting for 2025 to help make this our best year yet! We hope today’s episode is helpful for you as we start a new year, and would love it if you could share this episode with a friend!

264. Navigating In-law Relationships and Boundaries with Abby & Amy
A few weeks ago we interviewed our husbands with YOUR questions sent in on our Instagram page. What we were not expecting to receive was a lot of questions about navigating in-law relationships! Since so many of you sent in questions on this topic, we thought we’d dedicate an entire episode diving into how our relationships with our in-laws have changed over the years and how we’ve navigated being daughter-in-laws.When it comes to in-laws, everyone has a different story. We’ve seen these relationships go all sorts of directions in our friends’ lives and also in our own. If you’re feeling like your in-law relationship is hard as a parent of young children, you’re not alone. These relationships can be hard! We’ve been there. We’ve learned over the years that in-law relationships are a journey. We understand that today’s episode may not apply to everyone’s situation, and we want to hold space for you if that’s the case. However, if you feel it's appropriate, we hope you find our simple tips about managing expectations and boundaries, communication, and how to deal with the holidays (and more!) helpful and use them to nurture and grow your in-law relationships.
