60 Mindful Minutes

Imagine there was a way to more effectively and more quickly get our kids to do what we want them to do, when we want them to do it. Imagine if all the struggle and resistance and frustration dramatically decreased in our family life. Heather Turgeon, MFT and Julie Wright, MFT, authors of Now Say This: The Right Words to Solve Every Parenting Dilemma, did more than just imagine these idyllic sceneries: they created a formula for consistently creating more peace, calm, cooperation and relatedness between parents and kids. In this interview, we dive deep into their ALP approach (Attune, Limit Set and Problem Solve) and learn how we can all relate better with each other by becoming skilled in the power of attuning.

I recently made a personal pledge to stop reading the news because I just don't feel good when I'm feeding my brain a constant supply of negativity. It's been nearly two months and I can already sense how much more uplifted, hopeful and positive I feel. My only source of news now is the Good News Network, which I access through an app on my phone. The stories that Good News Network reports on are amazing, and they remind me that there is so much good in the world. Today's guest will do the same.

Kate DeBartolo is used to uncomfortable conversations. In fact, her job is to be a proponent of them. And here's why. As the Director for The Conversation Project, her mission is to get people talking about one of the most difficult topics many of us will ever encounter: our end of life decisions and the end of life wishes of the those we love. Let's face it, we're all going to die. That's a hard pill to swallow but it's obviously true. And how we want to die, how we want our last days to be and how we want to be celebrated and honored after we're gone are all topics worth considering and sharing with the people we live our life with. So, you may feel uncomfortable over the next 45 minutes but I invite you to stick with it because this episode could be the starting point to one of the most important conversations you ever have.

Guest Bio

Kate DeBartolo is the Director of The Conversation Project, an initiative started in 2013 by The Institute for Healthcare Improvement (IHI) that is dedicated to helping people talk about their wishes for end-of-life care.

I have a theory that if we upgrade the quality of our connections, if we got more intentional about how deeply we connect with the people around us, our lives would feel more joyful and more meaningful. What follows is a conversation about how we can use our hands and our imaginations to make stuff. But more importantly, why making stuff together—even if you don't consider yourself an artist or even a creative person—becomes a means to cultivating more connection with our family, friends and community.
