🥳 I was a guest on a podcast: The Gunks Cast w Glenn Lapolt and Jeff Weiss.

We recorded this about a month or two ago, and I was both excited and nervous about its release. Not quite sure how I’d come across talking about my profession, mothering, growing up in New Paltz, and warm tuna fish sandwiches 🤣

But I knew we laughed a lot, had a great time, and covered a wildly entertaining range of topics, so I felt hopeful.

Plus… I do love to talk 🤣

Now that it’s out, there are far too many highlights to list, and the feedback has been positively reinforcing:

“You have the best laugh, Heather!! I loved it ❤️”

“I can’t tell if you actually like people. That part wasn’t clear.” — a very sarcastic friend 🤣🤣🤣

“It was also really inspiring to hear you describe your work” 🤍

We go from Fraggle Rock to Dubstep, 🎶
Teens becoming a demographic in the 50’s to teaching our kids how to drive, 🚘
PolyVagal Theory and nervous system regulation, to “the 800-lb nervous system in the room,” 🦠
Making kids put on their coats or not, to
Apologizing when we’re wrong, and
From coffee ☕️
to tunafish sandwiches w Doritos! 🧀

This podcast episode is a hoot! 🦉

Lots of laughter,
lots of talking,
lots of love!
