Episode 45: You Matter. Yes, You.
•
Amy Zuniga
In this episode, Natalie and I dig into the article Mattering in Early Childhood: Building a Strong Foundation for Life and reflect on what it really means to feel like you matter—starting in infancy and continuing throughout our lives. We talk about being seen, valued, and knowing that who you are (and what you bring) counts, both in our work and in our relationships. It’s an honest, relational conversation about why mattering isn’t an “extra,” it’s foundational… and yes, that includes you too.
