In this episode, Lynn McLaughlin and I have a conversation about using a proactive approach and evidence-based strategies to help children build self-awareness, motivation, empathy, and social and self-regulation skills at a young age.

Lynn McLaughlin’s mission is to lead and empower people to make conscious and positive choices. She gives people the opportunity to share their voices through her podcast Taking the Helm, her writing, and public speaking.

As a best-selling and award-winning author, Lynn has now teamed up with her niece, Amber Raymond, to co-author a children’s book series titled, “The Power of Thought”. Both she and Amber are passionate about being proactive when it comes to children’s mental health. When children learn to manage their emotions at a young age, they learn to problem-solve and find positive solutions to everyday situations.

Which is something that we are so focused on here on The Empowered Child Podcast.

Lynn’s professional speaking experiences have been local, provincial, and international as she leads us in tackling our barriers so that we can move forward to new and exciting possibilities.

Dedicated to community causes, Lynn is a member of 100 Women Who Care Windsor/Essex and is a Rotarian. As a brain tumor survivor, she works tirelessly to support the goals of the Brain Tumour Foundation of Canada. She shares more of her story and is truly a champion in every sense of the word.

As an educator … Superintendent, Principal, Vice-Principal, Teacher, and Educational Consultant, Lynn McLaughlin served in many roles. In addition to her business, Lynn continues to be active in education, teaching future Educational Assistants at her local College.

This was a powerful and fun conversation. I hope you enjoy it as well.
