Miss Tweetie's Parents

Sonia is a wealth of knowledge as a mother & a small business-woman - AND she is also a piano & early childhood teacher, just like me! So we have a lot to talk about. We worked hard to keep our conversation around universal subjects for parents, but we can't help but get a little into the music side of things as well. Look for her offerings of piano lessons & early-childhood music...

My chat with Corey was so interesting. An artist and musician, he brings a simple and straightforward approach to parenting (and life).  Plus, he has a particularly unique perspective as a father with thoughts on adoption as well as dealing with a brain injury.  For painting parties or band rehearsal space, you can find him at https://www.paintitparties.com .  Send us Fan Mail

Tasha is a well-known child psychologist in my sphere. It was such a pleasure to have her take off her professional hat and get to it about parenting. What a treat! This empty-nester likes to get right into it and so we did. We discussed that when struggling, particularly with grief, sometimes all we can do is lie in it. . . And, sometimes all we can do is. . . dance! If you are looking for family...

This mother of 3 children under 5 seems to take things in stride but remembers feeling a lot kinder before she had children. She has been an avid attendee of Music in Nature from the start. What a treat to get to sit down with her. Of course her kindness prevails! Kara is all about Enduring Kindness.  Send us Fan Mail

Rich is an artist in every possible way. He approaches everything he does relative to his artists demeanour. Aside from his vocation as a graphic artist, sculptor and set builder, Rich is passionate about parenting, family, mountaineering and soccer. He is an extreme early riser, and enjoys ambient music so Morning Musings was a 'no brainer'.  Rich and I did not talk about his offerings,...

"A family that plays together stays together!" This mother & massage therapist is catching her breath now that her children are in their twenties. We reflect on what it was like to grow up in the 70's with parents raised in Europe during WWII. We celebrate how parenting encourages growth and what inspires our children to want to spend time with us, even when they are old enough...

Caroline has a breadth of knowledge when it comes to early-childhood! She's been educated in the field plus has children and grandchildren. We talk about trusting your gut. She shares some of her personal stories that really hit home when it comes to advocating for what you need. It was no surprise that 'Gentle Intensity' was how the song evolved. Have a listen! Do you want to talk...

What a beautiful woman, inside and out! Amy, mother and holistic practitioner, embodies beauty. Even her home smelled beautiful as I sat with her and recorded this podcast. You can find her wonderful blends at:  https://www.lunaroseremedies.com/ We talk about how even though it looks masterful to be out in nature with our kids, we often do it because we do not feel like 'masters' when we...

Bethany is a wonderfully soulful woman who is determined to be the best mother she can be. This mother of two, birth doula, vocal teacher and opera singer has no trouble finding the strength to support the masculine energy she is  surrounded by in her household! You can find her here: https://www.bethanyyon.com/ - Her strength and determination inspired the song 'Reverent Determination',...

Devon, the driving force behind "Nature Play" and "Timbernook" is a woman filled with both wonder and wisdom. She always knew she wanted to work with children and become a mother and it shows in the calm, strong and curious perspective she brings to parenting and working with children. She provides physiotherapy (Nature Play) and education programs (Timbernook) in an outdoor se...

Julianne is a bright and enthusiastic mother of two pre-schoolers who has experienced the 180 from climbing the corporate ladder to climbing the full-time parenting ladder. We cover some of the biggies - she talks candidly about the trials of being a new Mom & crippling post-partum depression - we even touch upon talking about death with our kids. She has become an advocate for the women'...

Clancy is the epitome of calm, despite her full household. Clancy's inner beauty prevails as we talk about parents trials and tribulations. She is determined to keep a cool head with her four children, no matter how crazy things may get. This woman is a dedicated mother and wants to be her children's go to no matter what is happening in their lives. Her song, Mindful Beauty, reflects all...

Today I talk to Jason, an old high school friend whose kids are in their early 20's. He touches upon so many important factors of child rearing - finding gratitude, seeking support, self-forgiveness. He brings a laid back attitude and a sense of humour, yet the undertone is that he took raising his 2 sons seriously, and still does. I found him warm & earnest, so I named his song "Fri...

Bonnie, mother of a 9 year old girl, is beyond 'getting there' - she is 'there', as far as I'm concerned. We talked about how to let go of needing our children to look or act a certain way and how to meet them on their level. She is open about her struggles as she tries to get her daughter to function in our structured society without smothering her free spiritedness. So h...

Melba Seto is a woman with answers. And she found them by living through challenges! She believes that the secret to great parenting is to work backwards from whatever result you want. This warrior woman wants to build a community of support through entrepreneurship and seems tireless in her pursuit.

Here's a new podcast about parenting. I've been a music educator for almost 40 years and after focusing on the students, I've decided to give the parents a turn! We chat about the trials and tribulations of our experiences with parenting. Even non-parents get a turn - I mean who DOESN'T have an opinion on parenting? What makes this podcast different? I compose a song for each g...
