Episode 08 - Dr. Wendy Down
Wendy Down is a Doctor of Integrative Medicine and a life coach. Her book, I Feel Better Now: How to Feel Okay on a Difficult Day, was released in February, 2023 and we had a great discussion about that publishing process, timelines, the woes and wins of marketing, and how her book is serving the needs of children (and adults!) and their big feelings.

“THIS BOOK IS ABSOLUTELY FLIPPING BRILLIANT!” — K.C., grown-up
Dr. Wendy Down and Dr. Charan Surdhar, both of whom specialize in Integrative Medicine, have come together to offer children FIVE EASY STEPS to help them navigate their big feelings.
“At last, an easy and fun way to show children how to befriend and manage their emotions! Wendy Down does an excellent job at describing a simple five step approach to identify, allow, explore, and soothe emotions using the body. Learning about emotions and becoming proficient at managing them helps parents and teachers alike.” — Gabriela Medina K-5 Education Specialist and Children’s Yoga Instructor
With lots of space for reflection and interaction, this is a powerful tool for children and their caretakers.
Consider adding a box of Crayola Colors of the World crayons to your order to allow your child to see themself on the page as they interact with the worksheets.
