Wait, Am I Saving the World? | Conversations on Childhood
Conversations for the people that care about childhood well-being.
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.

04-Season 1 | Bend, Don’t Break: Building Resilience with Yoga
[Season 1] This episode is from our original season, where we explored broader themes around burnout, purpose, and meaningful work.
In this episode, we explore the transformative power of yoga for both body and mind. Learn how yoga supports mental resilience, calms the nervous system, and helps release built-up stress—without needing to be ultra-flexible or spend hours on the mat. I’ll share my personal journey with yoga, unpack the research on its physiological benefits, and bust common myths that might be holding you back. Plus, discover one simple pose you can try today to start reaping yoga’s rewards—right where you are.
