Real Talk with Teodora Pavkovic--Psychologist specializing in Digital & Emotional Intelligence and Parenting in the Digital Age

In this episode we are joined by Ingrid Lee, a former Social Worker now full-time mother to sons, Noah and Owen, and wife to Keith.  This South Florida native shares how her global experiences, both studying abroad in Florence, Italy and volunteering in the Peace Corps in Thailand, as well as many years caring for countless abused and neglected children as a Licensed Social Worker, helped shape her Parenting Style and shift her Perspective on Life.  She discusses how a special moment in her early twenties, while alone in a quiet teak house in Thailand, shifted her perspective and conscious awareness. She also shares the importance of teaching her children to "Be Your Own Best Cheerleader" because ultimately “Your voice has to be the most positive, the most loving, the most kind… b/c it’s the one that you hear all the time." We discuss Bok Tower & Gardens, making the world a better place, and the Little Library Movement and how her love of gardens and libraries led her (with the help of her family) to create a Little Library in their own neighborhood community.  She teaches her sons that little acts of kindness are just as important as the big ones, and to be responsible stewards of this Earth. Ingrid is the creator of SouthFloridaFinds.com-- Finding Family Fun in South Florida.  This well-researched and expansive collection of Indoor and Outdoor Finds will get your family out of the house and connecting to one another through nature!
