In this episode, international trainer, author, key note speaker consultant and active educator Joseph McQueen (Joe) joins me. Joe talks about how important it is for kids to grow emotionally and how their behaviors and feelings can be affected by past trauma. This episode is perfect for parents, caregivers, and childcare providers who want to understand how emotions play a big part in kids’ daily lives.
Joe explains how parents and caregivers can help by managing their own emotions and understanding where their child is emotionally. He talks about the need to meet kids where they’re at emotionally, which helps them handle their feelings in a healthy way.
The episode also explores how school staff and others can support children with their emotions, especially when it comes to dealing with social situations. Joe highlights the difference between being a trauma-informed school and being trauma-aware—understanding not just the signs of trauma, but also how to approach and support kids with different emotional needs.

Are You A Charlotte?
In 1997, actress Kristin Davis’ life was forever changed when she took on the role of Charlotte York in Sex and the City. As we watched Carrie, Samantha, Miranda and Charlotte navigate relationships in NYC, the show helped push once unacceptable conversation topics out of the shadows and altered the narrative around women and sex. We all saw ourselves in them as they searched for fulfillment in life, sex and friendships. Now, Kristin Davis wants to connect with you, the fans, and share untold stories and all the behind the scenes. Together, with Kristin and special guests, what will begin with Sex and the City will evolve into talks about themes that are still so relevant today. "Are you a Charlotte?" is much more than just rewatching this beloved show, it brings the past and the present together as we talk with heart, humor and of course some optimism.
