  1. Number 1: 194. Setting Boundaries without Pressure + Panic

    What does it even look like to set + hold good boundaries? Boundaries can feel like an illusive mystery. Our preconceived notions of what we should be doing can create really rigid metrics for succeeding or failing, when in all actuality, there’s often no right or wrong! Today’s discussion includes validating the intention to “find the line”, why boundaries isn’t a binary but rather a spectrum, and the mindset reframes needed to be more effective and successful while still allowing for exceptions to the rule. IN THIS EPISODE I SHARED:How the lack of boundaries leads to entitlementWhat your true responsibility isHow much time you actually have to address the behaviorDON'T MISS:An important distinction to realize when parenting strong-willed kids // CONNECT WITH DANIELLE // Website: parentingwholeheartedly.com IG: @‌parent_wholeheartedly APPLY: parentingwholeheartedly.com/apply Send us Fan Mail over Text.

  2. Number 2: 193. Accidentally Inviting the Outcomes You're Trying to Avoid

    Well that backfired! When we parent out of fear, our short-sighted reactions can add fuel to the fire. This can create unintended consequences, like MORE helplessness, MORE sibling resentment, and MORE attention-seeking. In this episode, I cover where this starts, two extremely common examples, and what to do instead.

  3. Number 3: 190. Silencing Shame & Enjoying your Kids with Sharon Johnson

    Shame is a universal human experience no one is immune to, especially in motherhood where it feels like there’s a right and a wrong way to do everything, yet no matter what you do, you can’t win! How do you break free from the shame cycle? My guest today, Sharon Johnson, is a mother to six who creates social media content focusing on motherhood, mental health, getting older and finding oneself, and healing after years of trauma and crisis. Sharon kicked motherhood off by being absolutely swallowed by shame - so much so she didn’t even realize it. Tune in to hear her story of deconstruction and leaving the LDS church, adopting her niece and nephew, managing her bipolar and depression, and the true pride she’s able to feel now in saying she in fact IS the parent her kids need. IN THIS EPISODE, WE COVERED...The viral post of hers where the internet called her a bad parent, horrible mother, and threatened to call CPSHow Sharon's relationship with shame has evolved and what mattered mostThe importance of building open and honest relationships with teens so we can discuss difficult topics and build trustDON'T MISS-How much more she actually enjoys motherhood and her kids now and why // MENTIONED IN THE EPISODE // Rhett McLaughlin's (of Rhett and Link) house analogy clip from their podcast, Ear Biscuits Rhett's Spiritual Deconstruction - full episode 226 of Ear Biscuits (2/3/2020) // CONNECT WITH SHARON // Podcast: Wake Her Up Tiktok: @Sharon.a.life I believe in you + I'm cheering you on.
