The Livin'Sky Podcast
Welcome to The Livin’Sky Podcast, where whole-child wellness meets real-life parenting.
I'm Lena Livinsky, pediatric speech-language pathologist, holistic feeding specialist, and mom. I help you understand what your child's body, behavior, and development are really telling you. Because whether it shows up as picky eating, meltdowns, sleep struggles, or something that just feels "off"... your child isn't the problem. Their body is communicating.
When you learn how to listen, everything starts to shift.
Each episode goes beyond surface-level advice to look at the full picture: biology-informed feeding, nervous system regulation, gut health, oral motor development, and the small shifts at home that create real change.
This podcast is for the mom who is done with quick fixes and ready for real answers.
✨ Let’s Livin’Sky together.

Today on The Livin’Sky Podcast, Lena sits down with Beth Lambert - author, educator, and founder of the nonprofit Documenting Hope, for a powerful conversation about the modern childhood health crisis, and how families can begin to reverse it.
For over 15 years, Beth has documented the rising rates of chronic illness and developmental challenges in children, asking one essential question: Why are so many kids sick and what can we do about it?
In this eye-opening episode, Lena and Beth explore how our environment, food, lifestyle, and even invisible stressors like Wi-Fi and light pollution shape our kids’ biology. They share hopeful, practical ways parents can start reducing “total load”, the cumulative stressors that overwhelm our children’s bodies and begin creating healthier, calmer homes.
Together, they discuss:
- The real reasons childhood chronic illness has exploded in recent decades
- What the Documenting Hope Project and CHIRP Study are revealing about root causes
- Why behavior-based therapies like ABA often miss the mark
- The biological connections between picky eating, sensory issues, and chronic illness
- The link between environmental toxins, antibiotics, and microbiome imbalance
- Actionable, low-cost ways to reduce chemical, emotional, and EMF stress at home
- Why your own nervous system regulation might be the most powerful healing tool of all
This is one of those conversations every parent needs to hear, full of science, compassion, and practical hope for a generation of children who deserve better.
