Today, I talk about the value of our time - as parents and as busy human beings - and I share my reasons for signing up to a new (to me) app that provides child- and adult-friendly tapping meditations using EFT. The time vs money vs speed of getting the solution to my family's problem (poor sleep during lockdown) equation is discussed. 

I also talk about the teenage years for family's with currently-small children, and why the relationship you have with your teens starts in their toddlerhood, and childhood years. 

And finally the nature of 'action.' In this world of extremes, the small actions aren't often given the credit they deserve... drinking water, prioritising self-care time, 5 minutes of reflection at the end of the day. Actions CAN be big - such as signing up for The Turning Point (my 6-month cycle breaker mentor program, seeking therapy for your specific needs, changing your career (the woman I mention by the way is Lou Hynes, corporate escape mentor, and you can check out Podcast Episode 4 with Josh Peck about Work-Life-Balance if you want to think about that more), but the small changes over time really do add up to huge life changes. 

Sign up for the next Own Your Parenthood five-day free workshop, and head on over to the Facebook group Cycle Breaker Parents Unite for more interviews, how-to guides, free training (Friday afternoons) and a community of like-minded parents.

Healing + skills = the parent you always wanted to be
