Has your grandchild’s spark been dimmed by life’s challenges? Do you wish you could unlock unshakable confidence in them, helping them to shine and express their authentic self? If you’re a grandparent raising grandchildren and searching for ways to nurture true self-esteem, social-emotional skills, and resilience, this episode is for you.
I’m Laura Brazan, host of ‘Grandparents Raising Grandchildren: Nurturing Through Adversity.’ In this episode, I sit down with Coach Yana, the “Laptop Life Coach”—a playful, heart-centered guide to empowering children from the inside out. Together, we discuss innovative ways to build your grandchild’s confidence through creativity, intentional play, and supportive social environments, both online and offline. Learn how movement, storytelling, games, and imaginative clubs like “Dress to Impress” can help your grandchild feel safe, seen, included, and celebrated—no matter what they’ve been through. We also dive into practical tools for internet safety and adapting these confidence-building practices at home, even when resources are tight.

This week, we talk to Cheri, a grandmother who is living that nightmare and has decided to fight back. She shares her story of turning profound grief into a powerful movement to change the laws for grandparents rights.
