The Old Hat Podcast

A bedtime story about Toby the dog, a lullaby called "I believe in you". Because I do believe in you.

Do you have mean sisters? My sisters might not like this one! =) Do you think the grown ups kept or are keeping information from you? It's true. We talk about why. Key take aways; You can solve complex problems with simple tools. You don't have to practice being miserable. You get to decide who to trust. If you have the responsibility, you also have the authority. If you don't have the authority then you do not have the responsibility.

Things have been busy around here, so this is an update of a variety of things and some news about what is coming up in the near future. Hint: "Old Hat reads the Classics" is coming.

Ginger and Old Hat talking about books! Y'all! This is my favorite one so far!

Talking about comfort. What it is. How to find it. How to share it with others.

Just a quick bedtime story and a lullaby.

We talk about how to make a safe space for honest conversations, and improving your listening skills. And we laugh a lot and maybe cry just a little.

Ginger and Old Hat talk about what kids think are thinking about in school and college, based on her 25 years of being a trusted listener to thousands of kids, and how to help them.

I read you the whole book of Jonah from the Bible! (It's super short). And a lullaby to help you sleep.

Introducing my funny, loving friend Ginger to all of you who listen. She is someone who has as many stories as I do. She is also someone with a complete willingness to tell you what she knows about yours truly. We always have great conversations and now you get to be a part of them, too!

A reminder that the bad guys aren't winning, The story of Little Red Riding Hood, and a song I like called I'll hold you in my heart.

Some thoughts on anxiety and dealing with stress, a few stories, and an Old Hat original anaphora poem.

A brief message to let you're not alone in this. Hang in there! You can do this!
