Wait, Am I Saving the World? | Conversations on Childhood
Conversations for the people that care about childhood well-being.
Wait, Am I Saving the World? is a podcast about exploring childhood, wellbeing, and the everyday ways adults can support healthier, happier childhoods.
Whether you’re a parent, teacher, director, social worker, caregiver, or child-focused professional, this show offers honest conversations, reflection, and practical ideas to help you navigate childhood and the grown-up work of caring for kids without losing yourself in the process.
Hosted by Carrie Speed, social worker and founder of PlayMotion Kids, a movement, music, and mindfulness enrichment program for early childhood centers, each episode explores what it truly takes to show up for kids today.
We explore topics like behavior, resilience, emotional well-being, trauma-informed care, sensory needs, play-based learning, mindfulness, movement, whole-child wellness, and the everyday science of connection.
Carrie also certifies and licenses instructors who want to bring movement, mindfulness, and whole-child learning to their own communities.
Because when more adults are supported, equipped, and encouraged, the impact for kids grows.
If you care about kids, you belong here.
Together, we’re exploring what it truly takes to support the next generation—one conversation at a time.

03-Season 1 | Grow Your Gray Matter: Mindfulness in Action
[Season 1] This episode is from our original season, where we explored broader themes around burnout, purpose, and meaningful work.
What if you could literally change your brain with just a few minutes of mindfulness each day? In this episode of Wait, Am I Saving the World?, we explore the science behind mindfulness and how it strengthens the brain’s resilience to stress. Learn how mindfulness calms the fight-or-flight response, grows your gray matter, and helps you stay present—even in the toughest moments.
Plus, discover practical, beginner-friendly mindfulness techniques you can start using today to reset, recharge, and reclaim your calm. Join Carrie for a short guided mindfulness practice at the end to help you take the first step toward a more grounded, balanced life.
