Her background in movement, biochemistry, and ceremony helps her foster a truly holistic and integrative approach with clients. Briar's aim through all of her work is to provide a supportive environment for each individual's healing - whether she's working with a client one-on-one or leading a group. Briar works to ask the right questions, guiding you on your journey of growth and change.

Briar's recorded workshops are available for purchase on her website. All workshops are an hour in length and include an companion workbook with journal prompts and notes to expand on the workshop's details. Her reparenting and anger workshops are both popular ones for the parents she supports!

In today's episode, I speak with Bryce Reddy the creator of the popular IG account @mombrain.therapist.

We talk about creating conscious and intentional screen time limits for both children and their parents. The bones of her message are that screentime boundaries and wellness start with us. We must model healthy screen use to ensure our children develop mindful habits themselves. She offers many ways we can begin checking in with ourselves and our children to strike a more healthy balance between virtual and real-time.

Check-In Questions if you're beginning to feel screen use is being relied on too much in your home:

• Are we, or the kids, neglecting responsibilities in favour of screens?


• Are we leaning more into online relationships and pulling away from in-person relationships?


• Are we losing more time than we would like on our screens?


• Are we losing self-care tasks?


• Have I stopped doing other activities that I previously enjoyed?


• What's behind the uptick too? Are there potential mental health issues? Anxiety? Bullying?


• Are we spending enough time together as a family? Am I pervading family activities?

Some of the topics I discussed are:

• How to manage multiple children who often have varying bedtimes


• How to help children stay in bed and unwind


• How to help children who are resistant to changes in routine


• How to manage transitions big and small


• How to transition from co-sleeping to sleeping independently

"A star for you to wish on,

A moon so warm and bright,

A cloud for you to dream on.

Sweet dreams, a kiss goodnight."

The Stuck-in-PJs Phenomenon is real for stay-at-home parents everywhere, especially during the summer, when the usual schoolday routines aren't in place. I lean heavily on routines and rhythms because they are incredibly supportive to me as a parent of four, a creative empath and someone who experiences waves of anxiety from time to time. Today I'll discuss summer morning routines and how they might look very different from the other seasons.
