Welcome back! This episode's guest, Ayana Rodriguez, is the founder behind the award-winning premium childcare brand: Itavi.
Itavi has gained undivided popularity across Florida and Hawaii. Born in 2019, Itavi was a response to what Ayana, a mother of three, saw as a gaping void in the childcare industry.
Today I am so excited to speak with Ayana about the importance of raising resilient children in our modern society and how to cultivate a once highly dependent mindset of: ‘it takes a village.’
So with that, let's get started with Ayana Rodriguez. Tune in!
Xoxo,

I found this article interesting, especially Ayana Rodriguez's thoughts on the importance of developing resilience in children. It really seems that parenting has become more difficult than before, so the idea that "it takes a village" sounds very relevant. I like that the authors talk not only about the problems, but also about their practical experience in creating a childcare service. I think it is useful for parents to learn about various modern support and development tools, such as services like joi chatbot, where you can find additional ideas and resources. Overall, the article left a pleasant impression and made me want to listen to the full episode.
