Episode 13: Emma Answers Your Questions
In this radiant, heart-centered episode of Living in 3D Power, we flip the mic and hand it to the youngest voice in the room—Emma. After an open call for questions from our community, Emma steps into the spotlight to share her thoughts on confidence, friendship, fear, fun, and what it means to be seen and supported.
We also go behind the scenes: I share a vulnerable moment while editing this episode, and how Emma’s encouragement, saying, “I believe in you, Mommy! You can do it.” became the reminder I needed. Emma even offered her own editing tips (like adding music to keep folks engaged). This episode is about what happens when we affirm children, invite their brilliance, and take their insights seriously.
Whether you're a parent, educator, or leader learning to listen with new ears, this episode is a testament to what joy, love, and curiosity can sound like when you center a child’s voice.
