January 30, 2023 When Your Child Does Something Stupid: Try Curious Instead of Furious
My children have done things that make me feel furious.
Bryson, when he was a new driver, he had an 11:30 PM curfew.
Well, one night, very soon after he started driving, he didn't get home until 1:00 AM
He did call us and say he was going to meet his brother Carson at In n Out.
and we were like,
“No, don't do that. You need to come home.”
But he didn't listen to us.
Of course our natural inclination was anger or frustration and really furious.

Here is how we shifted to curious and how it helped!

January 23, 2023 Would my Life Coaching Skills Stack Up Against My Son Getting Kidnapped?
My oldest son is what propelled me into becoming a life coach.
I learned a lot of tools and loved to use them and teach them.
They were put to the test when he was kidnapped in Mexico when he was 16 years old.
Would they be helpful in a time of extreme stress?

January 16, 2023 Release the Guilt from Not Knowing these Tools Sooner!
Do you Feel Guilty when you learn a new tool?
It's okay That you didn't know all these things sooner.
The experiences you have had with your challenging child are okay,
and you don't need to judge yourself for it.
Sometimes when I learn a new tool, I think if only I'd known this sooner, it would've prevented so many problems.
Then I start judging all the things I did wrong parenting my challenging child.
In Tibet, they do not have a word that equals guilt.
Instead, they have a word that means
“Intelligent regret that decides to do something differently.”
In this episode we delve deeper into that and I share a tool to help stop the internal judge that may come up when you learn a new tool!

January 09, 2023 You don't need to have a tantrum, just because your child is!
This works with all ages of children.
However, it looks different at different ages.
Here's the thing that makes this so tricky.
Logically, we know,
“Or course, if my child is having a tantrum, I don't need to.”
But our challenging kids know exactly how to push our buttons, and they get our internal saboteurs all riled up and suddenly we are spinning in our own thoughts and emotions. And they are spinning in their thoughts and emotions and we create what my youngest likes to call a spinning war.

Learn my 2 tips to help!

December 19, 2022 Does Christmas have to be the Most Wonderful Time of the Year?
Nope!
In fact I think it is pretty normal for people to struggle with the holidays.
Remembering 1/24/50/24/1 can help!
In fact, I imagine for Mary, the original Christmas Day was only 1% wonderful!

December 12, 2022 What should I NOT do today?
How much time do you spend thinking about the things you need to do?
If you are like me, I make lists that contain many, many things to do and I can always think of more things to do.
Someone presented a question to me and it has been a game changer.
What should I NOT do today?
In this episode I talk about how pausing and asking that question has helped me to find more joy in my journey. And frankly, helped my family find more joy in their journey as well!
