I’m so excited to bring you this special podcast. We have three bonus podcasts for you during the three days of the Back 2 Basics Challenge. The transition back to school can be challenging in itself, but when you have a strong-willed child it can feel impossible. Simple tasks like getting up and getting to school on time can feel like a battle and turn every day into chaos. It’s hard to be a patient parent in those stressful situations, but that is exactly why I wanted to welcome back our guest, Michelle McVittie. Michelle and I connected when we both spoke at the Busy Mom’s Blueprint Summit. Michelle McVittie is a child life specialist and parenting coach with over two decades of experience in pediatric medical and mental health. She is the author of “I Quit! Oh Wait I'm the Mom” and the parenting expert for her local news station in Hamilton, Ontario CHCH Morning Live. Pull up a chair and grab your summer beverage of choice as Michelle and I talk about simple mindset shifts we can make as parents that can impact the difficulty of transitioning our kids to a new season, what to do if we anticipate a difficult first day of school or even year, and how to react in the moment to handle all the emotions.

Cardiac Cowboys
The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
