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.

Ep 11 Holiday Traditions Matter (But not for the reason that you think)
This week, we’re talking about holiday traditions — and why your kids won’t remember the perfect schedule, the fancy crafts, or the ten thousand activities you’re juggling. They remember the feeling.
In this episode, we explore what actually makes holidays meaningful for kids: warmth, presence, and a few small traditions done with intention, not pressure.
If you’re feeling stretched thin this season, this episode is your reminder that you don’t have to do it all.
You can choose one simple tradition, let go of the rest, and your kids will still remember this season with so much joy.
We’ll talk about:
- how kids store emotion, not perfection
- how even tiny traditions anchor children
- why scaling back is sometimes the best thing you can do
- a simple reflection to help you decide what matters most this year
If you care about childhood, wellbeing, and showing up for the kids in your life — this one’s for you.
Share this episode with a parent, teacher, or caregiver who needs a breath of peace today.
