Ep #203 The Questions Quietly Running Your Parenting


Listen Later

In this episode, I’m diving into something you probably didn’t realize is shaping your parenting every single day…the quiet questions running in the background of your brain.

Most parents think the problem is their kids’ behavior. But so much of what we experience as “hard parenting moments” comes from the questions we’re unconsciously asking ourselves—questions like:

  • Why can’t they just listen?
  • What’s wrong with me?
  • Why is everything so hard?

And here’s the kicker:

Your brain will always answer the question you give it.

If the question is negative, the answer will be too.

Today, I’m sharing a story from New Zealand (yes, the Cathedral Caves saga!) where one powerful pause and a handful of compassionate questions completely shifted a moment of frustration between me and my daughter.

You’ll learn:

  • Why “Is this true?” might be the most liberating question you ever ask.
  • How to catch the sneaky questions that are sabotaging your parenting.
  • The three coaching questions I use daily to regulate, reflect, and reconnect.
  • Why being an observer of your own mind is the actual parenting superpower.
  • How to reframe disempowering questions into ones your brain can actually work with.

Plus, I’ll give you a handful of empowering questions you can start using right away to shift your mindset, calm your nervous system, and bring more connection (and ease!) into your home.

This work is life-changing. And the best part?

It starts with just one better question.
