In this live episode of Tod Talks, recorded at Toddle About Live, host Bill Clapson chats with Katia Grobecker, child health expert and founder of Brave Beginnings. After noticing a massive gap in resources for primary school children, Katia created a unique, drawing-focused feelings journal designed to help children name, understand, and regulate their biggest emotions.
Katia breaks down how the journal creates a beautiful parent-child connection, how it supports neurodiverse children, and shares a sweet, real-life story of how it helped her own daughter build healthy coping mechanisms. Plus, stay tuned to the end to hear how powerful local business networking helped Katia launch her brand!
