What happens when you let people violet your boundaries constantly without consequence? One of the most obvious symptom is burn out! next in line is resentment! Setting boundaries and following through is so important to our general well being, without that we twist ourselves into so many different shapes just to please everyone and end up loosing ourselves. We hope this topic of conversation is a start for you and your beautiful humans. Thank you for listening and sharing.

If you don't know who you are people will tell you who you are. Practice self love through setting boundaries and following through. It's not easy, but the more you do it the better you get at it. Sometimes you lose friendships by standing up for yourself, but that was never going to last. I hope this episode sparks a conversation within yourself.

Where to begin with this topic? So many of us get caught up in what's considered 'normal' and the rest is cast aside. As humans we will always struggle with our insecurities and the key is to know what they are and try everyday to be accepting of them and continue to live our best lives. I don't believe we will ever rid ourselves of insecurities, but we can be more secure knowing how to live side by side with them and never letting anyone use them as weapons against us. Know who you are so that NOBODY tells you who you are. Thank you for listening and please don't forget to share with your circle and outside that circle as well. 

One of the most important topic of our times. At some point in my life as a child and as an adult I thought I was loosing my sanity, it was only during therapy that I learned about gas lighting. My brain and body took to it like a dove to water, I have never looked back. If there's one thing I can teach my children in this life is to know who they are and what their reality is and never allow anyone to tell them otherwise. With that being said I sure hope this is a conversation starter for your family. Once again thank you for your support. Please share this pod to your family, friends and frenemies as we all need love. 

This is definitely a universal topic, no matter how old you are. We all find ourselves navigating friendships, starting new ones and sometimes loosing old ones. Its a beautiful dance that requires effortless and carefully calculated moves. We continue to grow as we learn more about who we are and why we do the things we do. I do my best to teach my children on what to look for as well as look out for when starting or ending any friendships.  Knowing who you are and your values is the greatest gift to oneself ! We hope you take away something from this episode. 

The one topic every parents dreads. You don't want your child to be bullied, you don't also wish for them to be bullies. In this episode Chix and I discuss a few types of bullying and how to best handle them. We also dive deep into reasons why some children become bullies. For the first time Chix hears my story on how I was a bully in my early childhood and some of the reasons why. We hope this can help start honest conversation with your children and hopefully reduce the number of potential bullies  and nature more well rounded children. 

There's no hand book to parenting, these beautiful children get born, we are excited, we celebrate all mile stones! Then they start to walk, they start to run, they start to talk and we are all so overjoyed! As they begin to push back, talk back and cross boundaries, we start to panic a lot. There's no right way to parent, but there is a wrong way to parent. We have to learn from our parents, we take the good and make better , we take the bad we learn the lessons and we toss the bad into the closest bin. As parents we are always trying to better ourselves because we want our children to learn the best from us and become better humans than us. We love, we protect, we provide and we discipline! We hope you enjoy this episode. Thank you for listening...

This is probably the hardest and yet inevitable topics we dread as parents. It's heart breaking to watch your children go through. Bullying is agressive, unkind/mean  and it always has to be repeated behaviour.  Our children need to be able to understand 
what  that looks like and what to do when faced with bullying/uncomfortable situations. Chix and I discuss two incidences  of bullying and how we dealt with them. We also split the topic into 2, so look out for part 2.

2023 Children have more access to technology than the generations before them. It's a beautiful thing, and yet if unmonitored can lend our kids in dangerous situations. In this episode my 9year old and I talk about one particular message she received from her friends. We dissect the message and the lessons learnt from that for both of us. I believe as a parent our children will let us into their lives if we let them into ours. It's always going to be a two way street in our household. Enjoy this episode and hopefully you will gain something from it however small. 

Introduction  to our podcast, we are proud of what we are putting  together as mother and child. Come with us as we learn many lessons along the way, most importantly we hope you too can learn something from us. This is the first episode we recorded, we thought we might start by discussing technology, in particular messaging apps for children. These are amazing tools when monitors by guardians, however, if un monitored they can be a breeding grounds for all kinds of emotions, reactions and actions. Let's get started!!
