In this episode of Care U, we explore what it means for caregivers to lock in and lock through, drawing on insights from Brené Brown’s new book, Strong Ground. We talk about the challenge of giving our full attention in the moment, the residue that follows us through the day, and how small transitions can help us show up with more intention and calm. This conversation focuses on the caregiver experience and offers space to reflect on how you move between the many roles you hold. We hope you enjoy the show.

In this episode, we get curious about curiosity! We reference two books we have learned a lot from: Brene Brown’s Strong Ground and Adam Grant’s Think Again as well as an article from Psychology Today. We also share practical tips for caregivers to embed and cultivate curiosity with the children in our care. We hope you enjoy the show.
