Ep. 120 Travelling with Carry-On Only with Jocey Newman
Travelling with kids doesn’t have to require packing the whole house. Jocey Newman and her spouse took off on a year-long adventure with their kid and only carry-on. Let’s learn how!    Jocey Newman is a mom, adventure traveller, and the founder of First Peak, a line of sustainable adventure wear for babies and toddlers. All her clothes are made in the USA using eco-friendly fabrics that are designed to stand up to mess, moisture, and exploration. She’s currently living on the road with her husband and 2-year-old, testing out First Peak clothes every day.     Reasons to Pack Carry-On Only:  No lost luggage  Less to haul  Makes travel faster  Teaches children value and purposeful consumption  Kids are really good at finding anything to play with  Allows you and your kids to work on letting go and saying bye to items   What to Pack:  Camping packs as carry-on (using packing cubes)  A smaller backpack for day use  Stroller (Baby Zen YoYo Stroller)  Carseat, if you’re not borrowing   Clothes  Books  iPad  What to Buy On Travel:  Snacks  Perishable food  Diapers  Toiletries    What to Borrow:  Big items  Air BnB has a filter, so you can search for homes with cribs, etc.  Carseat, even from Facebook Marketplace (car seats are a tricky one, because different places have different regulations, and you don’t know how a car seat has been treated…this one may take some looking into)  Tips for Travel:  Don’t overpack for the “what if’s” or plan for every possible scenario  Consider using transit, bikes, rentals  For liquids, pack some small ones, but then buy larger there as needed  Before arriving, look up park, pharmacy, and grocery store near you  Wash clothes in the sink as needed   When exhausted, get outside, have snacks, change the scenery, and give kids a chance to lead!  First Peak [Sustainable Kids’ Clothing]:  Inspiration for this business came from her son spilling milk on himself while hiking/travelling. She was inspired to create something sustainable, that’s quick to dry, uses safe fabrics, and lasts!  Check it out:  www.firstpeak.co  IG: @firstpeakbaby     Check out KWE’s #patch4apurpose to support 1, or all 8, charities: https://kidswhoexplore.com/product/original-explorer-patch4apurpose/    Today’s Host: @laurenrodycheberle from @kidswhoexploreProduction: @kpmediaproductions.

Ep. 116 Tighten Your Tinkler to Get Back Outside with Christina Walsh
Tighten Your Tinkler meets Kids Who Explore, because we all want to support postpartum women, so they can get back to doing all the things they love to do outside.     Christina Walsh is a physical therapist and co-founder of Tighten Your Tinkler. She’s a New Orleans mama of two who lived with pelvic floor issues herself. She supports postpartum women holistically through prolapse, diastasis recti, and more. The program helps women solve pelvic floor issues without kegels or internal vaginal devices.     Tighten Your Tinkler:  Functional training from a need they experienced themselves  You can do it at home with your children!  Helps with incontinence, sleeping through the night without needing to pee, and painful sex    When You Resume Activity Postpartum:  Make sure you’re cleared by your providers  If you’re having extra drainage, your body is asking you to slow down  Pelvic floor pressure or heaviness, back pain, or leakage – tune back into your body, slow down, and work your way back into it more gently     Why Kegels Aren’t Always the Answer:  You’re only getting stronger in ONE position  Can cause over tightening  You don’t need the pelvic floor to be a conscious muscle      Uneven terrain adds extra weight. When you ask more from your body, be gentle. You don’t have to live with discomfort, AND also, go slow!    So much of pelvic floor function is linked to the nervous system. Fight or Flight response links to bladder – so, take yourself out of that stressed state.     Immediately Postpartum:  Listen to body  Visit a Webster-certified chiro (adjust pubic joint)  Avoid high impact activity while breastfeeding   90/90 decompression technique!! Check link below   Don’t push pee out   Use Squatty Potty   Get enough fibre and stay hydrated  Go easy on your body!  Build strength     It’s never too late. Menopause can cause a shift of hormones as well, but they’ve seen success after people living with incontinence for over 28 years.     Links:  Decompression Position (to relax back, hips, and pelvic floor):  https://www.tightenyourtinkler.com/backandhiprelief  5-minute Root Cause Quiz: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/6C9SJ36    Book Suggestion:  Hunt Gather Parent by Michaeleen Doucleff  https://kidswhoexplore.com/podcasts/ep-42-why-to-avoid-kid-centered-activities-with-michaeleen-doucleff/    Follow Tighten Your Tinkler:  Website: www.tightenyourtinkler.com  IG: @tighten.your.tinkler  YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tightenyourtinkler        Discount Code LAUREN gets you $50 off https://www.tightenyourtinkler.com    Check out KWE’s #patch4apurpose to support 1, or all 8, charities:https://kidswhoexplore.com/product/original-explorer-patch4apurpose/  Today’s Host: @adriannaadventures & @laurenrodycheberle from @kidswhoexploreProduction: @kpmediaproductions.

Ep.114 Childhood is Created Outside with Linda Åkeson McGurk
What’s the Scandinavian perspective on outdoor play? That you can’t have too much of it, and there’s no such thing as bad weather! Linda Åkeson McGurk, from Sweden, teaches us the essential nature of the outdoors in childhood.  Linda Åkeson McGurk is a Swedish American writer and author of the parenting memoir There’s No Such Thing As Bad Weather and The Open-Air Life. McGurk is a passionate advocate for raising kids in the outdoors and thinks that the best childhood memories are created outside, while jumping in puddles, digging in dirt, catching bugs and climbing trees. She is the founder of the blog Rain or Shine Mamma, a resource where parents and other caregivers find tips and inspiration for outdoor play every day, regardless of the weather.     Some Key Takeaways:  Kids need unstructured play for their emotional, social and cognitive skills. Play is different than activities outside. Play is chosen by the child and directed by the child and is intrinsically motivated  Outdoor life can be as simple as daily walks, green spaces, and utilizing what you have (even in a city)  Getting outside gets you in the rhythm of getting outside  We don’t know all the consequences of indoor time and screen time yet, but we do know all the benefits of outdoor time!!  Experiencing nature = gentle with it, versus  consuming nature = using motor vehicles in nature     Other Episode Referenced:  https://kidswhoexplore.com/podcasts/ep-112-open-air-classrooms-with-amy-cornet/    Linda’s Books:  There’s No Such Thing as Bad Weather  Open Air Life  https://rainorshinemamma.com/shop-2/    Other Book Suggestion:  Book: Slow Birding by Joan E.
