Still Becoming Kids is an off shoot of the original Still Becoming Podcast hosted by Monica DiCristina. Monica is a mom of three and a practicing therapist for adults. Monica speaks from the perspective of a mom who wants her kids to know certain things. This podcast is short, calming and a chance for kids to hear about their thoughts, feelings, and worries, as well as specific topics. As with all meaningful kids media, the hope is that parents (and grandparents) would enjoy these episodes too, and that discussions would be sparked between caregiver and child after each episode.

Still Becoming is a podcast about how it's never too late to become more free, more yourself, or try something new. We are all in the process of becoming more or less of something, of growing into ourselves. Informed by her own journey of struggling through anxiety to now working with others as a psychotherapist, Monica DiCristina interviews people about their stories of overcoming and becoming, or starting something new, as well as experts we can all learn from. We are not designed to stay the same, we are all still becoming.

Monica DiCristina suffered for years without words to describe the pain she was experiencing inside. Without knowing what was behind her anxiety, intrusive thoughts, and fears, she created other names for them: “not good enough,” “unworthy,” “messed up,” “wrong.” Through the slow process of coming to understand her own story and find the accurate names for her pain, she discovered a glorious path to healing, and also a calling to become a therapist and help others in the same way.
