Use Your Words
By Use Your Words Pod
Join Jillian & Maria on a journey of exploring broad topics related to raising and working with children. We will be sharing our experiences as a stay-at-home mom (Jillian) and a nanny (Maria), and what we have learned—and continue to learn—from our respective roles in children’s lives. We are endlessly fascinated with the ways in which grownups interact with children and believe that self love is at the root of everything we do (and don’t do). We will be covering broad topics related to children, and being humans in the world today. We are so excited to have you join us on our journey!

This One Wild & Precious Planet
In this episode, we share our conversation about the climate crisis and the ways in which we try to live more sustainably. While reading Sarah Wilson’s book, This One Wild and Precious Life, we began discussing what we were learning about the climate crisis and what we can do on an individual level to create real change. We encourage everyone to read this book, and challenge yourself to make any small change you can in order to set us all in a brighter direction. Saving our planet is not a political stance; it’s not an opinion; it is necessary in order to ensure we all have a future, and can live our healthiest lives on this pale blue dot we call home. Thanks for listening! Sending you all our love and gratitude as always—Jillian & Maria
