Building Grit and Resiliency in Children with Ayana Rodriguez. Ep. 183 Part ONE

Welcome back! This episode's guest, Ayana Rodriguez, is the founder behind the award-winning premium childcare brand: Itavi. Itavi has gained undivided popularity across Florida and Hawaii. Born in 2019, Itavi was a response to what Ayana, a mother of three, saw as a gaping void in the childcare industry. Today I am so excited to speak with Ayana about the importance of raising resilient children in our modern society and how to cultivate a once highly dependent mindset of: ‘it takes a village.’ So with that, let's get started with Ayana Rodriguez.

I may not have the tools now, but I'm going to figure it out because I know I want to.” - Ayana Rodriguez“When we give everything to our children and problem solve for them, we are removing the opportunity for them to build the muscle of resilience.” - Nikki SpoTimestamps:0:00 - 0:21 | Raising Resilient Kids0:21 - 0:53 | Intro0:53 - 2:14 | Introduction to Ayana Rodriguez2:14 - 3:48 | “Our Village is So Important to Who We Are & What Builds Our Resiliency”3:48 - 5:02 | “The Village That Raised Us Wasn't Always Doing It the Right Way”5:02 - 6:51 | When We Know Better, We Do Better6:51 - 10:05 | Concept of ‘A Village’ Changing Over Time10:05 - 11:37 | Resiliency Comes From Perspective 11:37 - 13:06 | Perspective Changes Overtime13:06 - 13:38 | Join the Becoming: HER Online Community13:38 - 16:21 | “You Are the Blue Sky”16:21 - 18:37 | Power of Choice18:37 - 20:44 | It's Never Too Late to Make that Choice.20:44 - 22:13 | How Can We Thrive in These Circumstances, Whatever Those Circumstances May Be22:13 - 23:09 | Perspective is Everything. 23:09 - 26:11 | Giving Your Kids the Opportunity to Problem Solve On Their Own 26:11 - 27:09 | Outro    —SANA SKIN STUDIO is my #1 go-to spot for self-care.
