In this Mindfulness Moment, we will process what we discussed in Episode 10 with Josh Shipp's book for kids called No Matter What: A Foster Care Tale. Join a squirrel named Josh an adventure to find loving adults who are willing to be sturdy and secure in their love and commitment to him.

This week, we are talking about the deep rooted lie that kids often believe when they were treated poorly, abused or rejected. This lie - No One Cares About Me - is something we all struggle with, so the truth that God values our kids shapes how we see them. The episode covers facts, root causes, behaviors, strategies on how to combat the lie & resources to support you.
In this Mindfulness Moment, I will be reading snipits from the book: How To Hug A Porcupine that relate to the themes from Episode 8 where we combatted the lie #3: I Need To Take Care Of Myself.
This Lie that kids believe is based on the idea that no one cares about the child's emotional or relational needs. In order to combat this Lie, we can show we care by understanding the lie and behaviors, modeling how to give consent, building attachment and developing awareness of feelings. Follow this episode with the accompanying Mindfulness Moment: How To Love A Porcupine.
This is Ep 07 and the Lie we are combating this week is I Have To Provide For Myself. When they did not have what they needed, kids who struggle with this lie learned they need to worry about adult sized worries. We will discuss what this lie is rooted in, behaviors that stem from this lie, how to combat it with truth, and practical ideas on how to support kids with these lies.

Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant.
