I have had the opportunity to meet Ellen in person on a number of occasions and every time I do, I walk away feeling energised by our conversations and feeling that I have learnt something. In this week's episode I get to have an extended conversation with Ellen and she shares so much helpful info for parents that you will want to take notes!

Ellen is a Ballarat based mum to two boys and she is a self employed consultant psychologist (workplace psychology) and writer. Through out our chat we cover topics like:

I loved chatting to Ellen and having the opportunity to discuss with here amongst other things:

  • How she uses a scientific approach to goal setting and tips on how you can too
  • How she uses positive psychology and gratitude with her kids
  • Growth and fixed mindsets in kids and how you can help kids move away from a fixed mindset
  • The current work and home set up with her partner - Ellen is currently the primary income earner for their family
  • How she copes with competing demands for her time
