Gratitude, Growth, & Grit: Katie Wood on Raising Resilient Kids (and Parents)
Description
What happens when life knocks you off your feet and you're still expected to show up, parent, and keep it together? Author, speaker, and former teacher Katie Wood joins Suburban Burnout to share how a life-saving surgery for her daughter led to one of the most powerful tools in her parenting toolbox: gratitude.
In this deeply relatable and inspiring episode, Katie walks us through the chaos of parenting four kids, living with a first responder husband, and discovering how simple mindset shifts and morning routines rewired her outlook on life. Spoiler: it didn’t require an hour of silence or a Himalayan retreat, just a few minutes of intention (and a lot of humor).
We dive into:
Why gratitude can’t co-exist with fear or anxiety
The neuroscience behind starting your day intentionally
How Katie created her best-selling Simple Seed Journal (and got her kids hooked!)
Why humor speeds up healing...literally
How to teach kids to be proactive, not reactive, and build resilience from the inside out
