In this episode of The Secrets of Supermom Show, I’m joined by two fabulous therapists and moms—Risa Williams and Erica Curtis—who co-authored the beautifully illustrated children’s book Max and the Imaginary Tree.

Whether your evenings are a chaotic blur of bedtime resistance or you’re just looking for a more peaceful end to the day, this episode is your cozy invitation to slow down and reconnect.

We talk about the inspiration behind Max and the Imaginary Tree, how you can use it as part of your child’s calming bedtime routine, and why less is more when it comes to helping kids regulate their emotions.

And spoiler alert: these calming techniques? They help moms too.

Cardiac Cowboys

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.
