Wait, Am I Saving the World? | Conversations on Childhood

Conversations for the people that care about creating happier, healthier childhoods.

Wait, Am I Saving the World? is a podcast about exploring childhood, wellbeing, and the everyday ways adults can support healthier, happier childhoods.

Whether you’re a parent, teacher, director, social worker, caregiver, or child-focused professional, this show offers honest conversations, reflection, and practical ideas to help you navigate childhood and the grown-up work of caring for kids without losing yourself in the process.

Hosted by Carrie Speed, social worker and founder of PlayMotion Kids, a movement, music, and mindfulness enrichment program for early childhood centers,  each episode explores what it truly takes to show up for kids today.  

We explore topics like behavior, resilience, emotional well-being, trauma-informed care, sensory needs, play-based learning, mindfulness, movement, whole-child wellness, and the everyday science of connection.

Carrie also certifies and licenses instructors who want to bring movement, mindfulness, and whole-child learning to their own communities. 

Because when more adults are supported, equipped, and encouraged, the impact for kids grows.

If you care about kids, you belong here.

Together, we’re exploring what it truly takes to support the next generation—one conversation at a time.
