Looking for inspiration on positive parenting, fun family reading, and making wellness a natural part of your home? You'll love this episode! Host Jed Doherty chats with two dynamic guests: Alicia McKenzie—mom of five and author of the children's book "These ABCs Belong to Me"—and yoga studio mogul Kate Davies.

Alicia shares her honest journey of parenting, from learning to choose positive, empowering words with her kids to watching them become proud of their unique traits. She opens up about how her family inspired her bestselling picture book (and sneak peeks her next project!), gives real-world advice for balancing motherhood with a thriving career, and reflects on the messy, meaningful chaos of family life. Parents and teachers alike will appreciate her fresh take on children's books and nurturing young readers.

The conversation then flows into holistic wellness with yoga expert Kate Davies. She breaks down why movement matters for families—no superhuman flexibility required! Kate offers practical, judgment-free tips for introducing yoga to both kids and adults, building healthy habits, and finding the right fit for your family. From heated yoga to parent-child classes to her own story as a busy mom and business owner, Kate proves anyone can get moving and feel good.

Tune in for lively stories, tips you'll want to try tonight, and uplifting reminders that both parenting and wellness are a practice—meant to be enjoyed together.


There’s a special kind of magic that happens when families share stories, try a new recipe, or simply talk about a movie they just watched together. The Reading With Your Kids Podcast, from Jedlie Circus Productions, Inc, explores that magic in every episode. While the title highlights reading, the conversations here go far beyond the pages of a book. This podcast is really about connection-the kind built through everyday moments, whether you’re cooking, creating, or discovering a new song together. Each episode brings you authentic conversations with authors, educators, and families who share practical ideas and personal stories. You’ll hear about great children’s books, sure, but also about how shared experiences with TV, movies, and music can spark meaningful family discussions. The underlying goal is always to strengthen those essential bonds. Tuning in feels like getting thoughtful, friendly advice on turning daily routines into opportunities for laughter and learning. It’s a supportive space for any parent or caregiver looking to enrich their family life, one shared story or silly kitchen experiment at a time. The tone is warm, inclusive, and focused on the simple, powerful truth that time spent together is the foundation of a strong relationship.
