This week we kick off our first-ever intentional series surrounding some of my favorite Movies and Parenting Parallels as well as just life in general.  So crack open a kombucha with me and let's talk all things, Hook. 

We revisit the topic of our egos in Parenting and how this is a default setting based in the titles of how we are categorized. 

In this episode, we talk about Toy Story and dive into the question of "who do you want to be?" 

In this episode, we talk about Mrs. Wilson the GOAT of 1st grade, my Starbucks Oatmilk journey, and the most popular sayings of "Just wait till you have kids" and "Just wait till you're an adult". So let's dive in! 

In the episode, we discuss the idea that all the things we tell our tiny humans won't change what we show them. Because what we verbalize we internalize and so will they. 

Amanda shares her testimony and faith and how she lost her religion and began her relationship. 

In this episode we talk about shifting our ideas as Parents and People to not needing to be in Power but rather seeing each relationship as an opportunity to Empower our tiny people on the journey of life. 

In this episode, we touch on the topic of Spanking. There is a ton of research that shows this as an ineffective method when it comes to discipline as well as scientific reasons this can have long term effects but we don't dive into those as deeply as we touch on what motivates as in those moments and how those tie to our Egos and Other Peoples Opinons. 

In this episode, we dive into One Tree Hill and Dan Scott and so much more when it comes to why we make decisions as adults or parents. Are we trying to protect them or are we merely projecting our own wounds onto them again creating an endless cycle? 

In this episode, we dig deep into becoming first responders instead of First reactors and changing our narrative around our tiny humans and teens when it comes to their emotional development.
