E9: CONSCIOUS STORIES ft. Andrew Newman

In today’s special episode, I had the pleasure of interviewing Andrew Newman — award-winning author, storyteller, and founder of Conscious Stories. Andrew brings a calm yet playful energy to his work, and his passion for nurturing meaningful parent-child connection truly shines through. Today we explored the importance of the last 20 minutes of the day and how this sacred time can deeply influence a child’s emotional regulation, sleep quality, and self-confidence. Andrew shared insights from his TEDx talk and his growing library of bedtime stories that are designed to support emotional wellness, attachment, and calm in both homes and classrooms. Whether you're a parent or a teacher, this episode offers powerful tools and fresh inspiration to help the children in your life thrive.
