In the Zone: Understanding Big Feelings for Kids
Big feelings, welcomed! In every episode, feelings get too big for one of our friends at the Zone Center. Leon the chameleon and his friends learn to name the zone they\'re in, and their teacher, Ms. Maya, shows a tool to get back to the Green Zone using brand-new music, movement, and breath.
- Original songs in every episode, written by Suzanne, who also voices Ms. Maya
- Built on the Zones of Regulation, with breath and movement tools kids can use anywhere
- Voice cast: Emmy winner Emmanuel Carter as Leon, Broadway's Patti Murin as Lulu & Nia, and 3x GRAMMY nominee Jason Rabinowitz as Ollie & Ziggy
- Co-created and written by Alexandria deGuzman; produced by Little Loud Studios
Green ZoneCalm, focused, and ready. Home base.
Blue ZoneSlow, sad, tired, or bored.
Yellow ZoneSilly, wiggly, excited, or worried.
Red ZoneBig feelings. Mad, scared, or completely overwhelmed.

Family Hacks
Musings, music, parenting book breakdowns, tips, and tricks to make life easier for you. (Formerly Suzy Breaks It Down.)
A parenting or wellness book, synopsized. Updates on my music, videos, and upcoming concerts. A family-friendly recipe.
All of that, plus links to my favorite products, Spotify playlists, and a custom meditation every month.
The lessons are serious. The music is not.
No more lectures met with rolling eyes. Kids dance and sing along, and the ideas worm their way into their amazing, spongey brains: gratitude, grit, resilience, kindness, and love.
Pop perfect, with lots of heart.
"Filled with high energy, heart, joy, and inspiration, Love Is, most certainly, is a many-splendored thing."
"Bubblegum pop perfection! Filled with a tremendous '80s vibe."
"A happy collection of pop perfect songs all about love."
"It all comes down to love, doesn't it? The earlier folks learn it, the better for all of us."
From the theatre bug to kids' pop.
I grew up in Racine, Wisconsin, where I was bitten by the theatre bug (and plenty of mosquitos), and went on to earn a BFA in Musical Theatre from Syracuse University. I lived and acted in theatre and film in New York and Los Angeles, and along the way became a certified yoga therapist through Loyola Marymount University.
In 2012, after my daughter was born, I brought my loves of wellness, mindfulness, and music together and started making family music. Today I'm an LA-based children's musician, singer-songwriter, mindfulness coach, and mom of two. I believe kids deserve the same respect as any adult, and music with real production value that the grown-ups will love too.
