Anna Seewald, M.Ed., is a parenting educator, parent, speaker, author and founder of the successful and widely listened to Authentic Parenting Podcast. If you don’t already know Anna, you will quickly feel like you want to. Anna brings both great meaning and levity to any conversation. I have loved her podcast from first listening to it a few years ago. Anna is a remarkable human being with a transformational life story marked early on by severe loss and tragedy as a child who survived the 1988 Spitak earthquake and tragically lost her mother. Each day Anna makes a positive and meaningful difference in the lives of children, parents and educators.

In this conversation Anna talked about her own experience with trauma and her current experience navigating the pandemic, offering insight and importrant reminders for our mental health. Thank you Anna. We also laughed, Anna sang for us a little bit (with my coaxing) and we talked podcasting as kindred podcast host and producer spirits that we are. It was as always with Anna, deep and meaningful and fun. Thank you Anna @authentic.parenting.podcast.
Let us know what you are taking with you from this conversation for your resilience and mental health.

Listen to Alane Freund, for the 2nd time on the podcast, help us navigate these uncertain times, back to school season and living with uncertainty, so that we can manage, normalize and honour our sensitivity and even thrive.

Listen for Alane’s wonderful insight, candor, support, experience and of course sensitivity. A lot was covered including what having this trait of high sensitivity looks like in people, how you can manage your exquisite, finely tuned nervous system, emotional leadership, the critical importance of boundaries, taking retreat and how to do that when circumstances/resources are limited, creative ways you can create a village of support (even in a pandemic), self-care and how you can transform your sensitivity into your superpower.

Alane Freund is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, an international consultant on high sensitivity (who works closely with Elaine Aaron, author of The Highly Sensitive Person and The Highly Sensitive Child), an equine assisted psychotherapist and a phenomenal person to have a conversation with. Have you taken the HSP self-test? Try it here.

An International Consultant on High Sensitivity (ICHS) Ms. Freund has developed and implemented programs for highly sensitive people, children, families, and clinicians who serve them. She holds Masters’ degrees in clinical psychology and school counseling and is the parent of a college student. She hosts the twice monthly “Are You Highly Sensitive LIVE” Q&A webinars, and leads groups and retreats, including Parenting Sensitivity Circles, Sensitive & Anxious Teens, Wise Women & Wonder, and the HSPs & Horses retreats both online and at Heart and Mind Equine in Northern California (CEs offered).
