In the season 1 finale, Julianne sits down with Sara Ernst — award-winning children's author, singer-songwriter, and the voice behind Wild Pickle Press — to explore how music and rhyme can bring nature to life, no matter where you live.
From writing her first song to teach kids how to respect bears, to accidentally becoming a children’s music artist, Sara shares how her creative journey unfolded and why it’s so important to nurture a sense of wonder in kids — even if all you’ve got is a patch of grass and a flashlight.
This conversation is full of encouragement for nature-reluctant moms, creative ways to teach kids empathy through poetry and play, and a reminder that even the smallest outdoor moments can be filled with magic.
Plus, don’t miss the original song Sara performs just for listeners at the end!
In this episode, we discuss:
- How nature and music intersect in childhood wonder
- The power of rhyme and rhythm in early learning
- Why teaching empathy toward bugs and critters matters
- What to do when you don’t have access to a backyard or green space
- Sara’s 3-step method to help kids respect nature (even spiders!)
- Her favorite songs and books for nurturing curiosity and compassion
- The beauty of simple outdoor moments — like a creekside PB&J
- A sweet original song that will melt your heart
