Wow, what an inspiring conversation we had with Jesse Bennett and Joana Pastro! These two children's book authors are doing such amazing work to empower kids and celebrate diverse cultures.
First, we chatted with Jesse about her book "Ripple," which is all about the power of small actions to make a big difference. She shared how her own yoga and mindfulness practice has helped her connect with herself and find that inner light, and how she wants to pass that on to kids through her stories. Jesse had some great tips for parents on simple breathing exercises and ways to help kids slow down in this fast-paced digital world. 
I loved hearing her personal story about how a little encouragement from a coach completely changed the trajectory of her life. It just goes to show how much our words can impact a child. Jesse also addressed some misconceptions about yoga, making it clear that it's not about religion, but about self-love and finding calm.
Then Joana joined us to talk about her new book "Lucas and the Capoeira Circle." Joana is so passionate about celebrating her Brazilian heritage, and she shared the fascinating history and cultural significance of capoeira. I was really inspired by how she uses her books to teach kids about traditions like Carnival and the Festa Junina harvest festival.
Joana also opened up about the importance of showing vulnerability as parents - letting our kids see that we all struggle sometimes. That's such an important lesson. And she had some great advice for anyone nervous about visiting Brazil, encouraging people to look beyond the headlines and experience the warmth and beauty of the country.
Overall, this was just a delightful conversation full of positivity, cultural richness, and practical tips for raising confident, compassionate kids. I'm so grateful Jesse and Joanna joined us to share their stories and inspire us all.
