209: Colleen Marchi helps children overcome sleep and anxiety with The Brave Knights
Also available on YouTube: https://youtu.be/qn2bET2-ytE
What are some bedtime rituals you have with your children to help them with sleep and anxiety? Colleen Marchi encourages families to have Sir William the Brave Knight from The Brave Knights, which empowers kids to control their fears.
Colleen shares her journey as a military spouse, mother, and reluctant entrepreneur. Colleen created The Brave Knights to help her son cope with nighttime fears during her husband's deployment. Years later, it evolved into a business aimed at helping other families. She discusses the psychology behind the Brave Knights kit, the importance of addressing children's fears, and valuing self-care as a parent. Lastly, Colleen highlights her experience with The Rosie Network's Service2CEO program and offers advice for aspiring military-connected entrepreneurs.
