In our next episode, you will be hearing Eva’s interview with Mark Cuban. Yes, that Mark Cuban! Not to downplay today’s episode, which is amazing too! We are sharing a special poem that we wrote on how the pandemic can be compared to turbulence on an airplane. Eva first shared this analogy in Episode 191 — and the feedback was so great that we decided to make it into a poem too. We even had our illustrator add fun artwork — you can check out the poem on our Facebook and Instagram pages. Links are in the show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/202
We all know the classic kids song “Row Row Row Your Boat”. Just a simple, catchy song for toddlers, right? Well, that’s what we thought until we learned the hidden meaning and now we’ll never never think of the song the same way again. Thank you Prince EA for cracking the code of Row, Row, Row Your Boat — and for being such an inspiring storyteller in general. We are including his original video in the resources section of the show notes, and we encourage you to check it out. Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/201
Eva launched the Dream Big Podcast in October 2016 at the age of 7. This week we are celebrating Eva’s birthday (she turns 11) and her 200th episode! In discussing what we should do for this special episode, Eva decided she wanted to share the #1 secret she has learned from recording and publishing 200 episodes. In addition, we created a special poem to commemorate this milestone. Be sure to follow us on social media (links in the show notes) as we are actually posting videos of Eva reciting the poem and have added professional illustrations to the poem too.

Like millions of other kids with March, April and May birthdays, Eva’s big birthday plans have been cancelled. Her elementary school graduation — at least the big celebration that has been planned – is also not happening. We feel for all the high school and college seniors who are missing out on the festivities associated with traditional commencements. In this episode, Eva explains that while she was initially bummed out about having to cancel her big birthday plans, she’s not angry about it. Eva also shares the 1-word secret to not getting angry about how life has changed as a result of this pandemic. Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/199
Eva wanted to take a break from the Pandemic-related content for the week, and share an incredibly touching story that has recently resurfaced. It’s the story of Natalie Gilbert, who in 1993 at the age of 13, forgot the lyrics of the National Anthem in front of 20,000 fans at a NBA playoff game. The biggest moment of Natalie’s life quickly became the most terrifying. The whole stadium went silent — yet one man, Maurice Cheeks, came to Natalie’s rescue and exhibited an act of kindness that forever changed Natalie’s life. What’s even more remarkable is how Natalie did not let a performer’s worst nightmare destroy her dream, and thanks to Maurice Cheeks she even now describes the experience as “perfect.” We are thrilled to share this feel-good story of kindness during these challenging times. We also encourage you to watch the full news segment, which we linked to in the show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/198
We have definitely noticed that Eva’s happiest moments during this crisis have been out in nature. Whether that’s been on bike rides or walks in the neighborhood (practicing social distancing of course), or sitting on the low climbing tree in our yard, or escaping with the family to an off-the-beaten-path hiking trail — these times in nature have been pure magic for our family. In this episode, Eva shares the scientifically proven health benefits of nature, and how being outside has been so therapeutic during these challenging times. We highly encourage you to get your kids outside — of course keeping in mind the health guidelines and law for your local communities. Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/197
Today’s episode is the first in a series of episodes we plan to call Rhyme Time. When you see “Rhyme Time” in the title of the episode, you know it is going to have a poem that our family wrote and a short discussion of the meaning of that poem. This week’s poem is called Practice Makes Progress. We want to thank Eva’s recent guest IN-Q – one of the world’s greatest living poets – for reminding us how much we love poetry and inspiring us to write our own poems. Be sure to follow us on social media (links in the show notes) as we are actually posting videos of Eva and Sophia reciting the poem and have added professional illustrations to the poem too.

The other day, as we went for a quick walk around the neighborhood to get some fresh air, we came across a house that was completely overrun with weeds. This neighbor clearly had surrendered to mother nature — and had not made any effort to mow the lawn or otherwise care for the property in what looked like years. Seeing this house reminded us of a great analogy from the classic personal growth book As A Man Thinketh, published in 1903. The author James Allen compares our mind to a garden. If we don’t work on our minds, weeds will begin to grow. And during these challenging times, when we are at home and can’t see our friends and relatives — when we turn on the news and all the headlines are about the virus — then it is super easy for those weeds to grow and take over our minds. In this episode, Eva shares this classic analog, and 5 specific ways we can give Tender Loving Care (TLC) to our minds during these challenging times. Show notes at DreamBigPodcast.com/195
