The three top answers I get from parents I work with when I ask what qualities they want in their children are happiness, confidence, and kindness.

Unfortunately, our instinct as parents is usually to notice and point out and scold the things our kids do that AREN’T happy, confident, and kind instead of pointing out the times that they are. In today’s episode, I want to remind you that your child wants your attention and develops their self-worth from you because it’s all they know. I also want to remind you that what you focus on expands: if you keep seeing the ways they aren’t being happy, confident, and kind then you will continue to see more evidence of that. 

However, if you focus on, praise, and recognize the times (even if they are small at first!) that they are acting the way you want them to then THAT will expand as well!

In today’s episode I’m sharing:

How Tony Robbins’s principles apply to parenting, too!Examples of actionable steps you can take to start positively shaping your child’s behavior and self-worth

There’s a myth that a lot of us believe that I want to bust today. The myth that you should be happy all the time and when you’re not that something has gone wrong. 

It’s just not true.

Brené Brown said, “Joy is the hardest emotion that we feel as adults.” And it’s true. It’s so much easier to go to a place of lack than stay in one of gratitude. But in today’s episode I’m going to help you lean into the joy to bring more abundance to your life.

In this episode, I’m sharing:

Why perspective thinking trumps positive thinkingWhat we can be thankful for, even in the tough momentsHow to reframe our thoughts so that we can find blessings in all of our burdensThe Miracle Morning and how it can train your brain to create unconscious thinking that’s empowering for the dayMy favorite trick to remain grateful all day

An extremely common concern I get from the parents I work with is that they find themselves yelling at their kids and don’t know how to stop. Oftentimes they feel the solution must lie in their children’s behavior, but in today’s episode I’m going to show you how that’s not actually the answer. 

Let’s dive in as I share:

How yelling at our kids really doesn’t have as much to do with their behavior as we think, and what is actually behind itWhy the brain is like a metal detectorWhat your own self talk tells you about your parents’ self talkHow you can empower yourself in your parenting, not by looking for more patience, but by becoming more aware of your own self-talkHow we subconsciously try to heal old wounds in present timeAnd how by becoming more aware of your own self-talk, you can change the way you parent your kids.

Becoming a conscious parent has changed so much for me, and I have been teaching these strategies and techniques to other parents for years. It all starts with recognizing and beginning to heal your own wounds and triggers so that you can become a conscious parent, too. 

Our brains subconsciously are drawn toward repeating patterns from childhood and reinjuring ourselves, trying to heal them. These old wounds though, if left unhealed, will play out in our interactions with our kids. The great news is that there is so much that can be changed when we become conscious of it.  

In today’s episode, I’m sharing:

My own transformation from guilt to relief and empowerment when I started down the conscious parenting pathA reminder for you that there is nothing wrong with your child, or yourself, but that your children will teach us where we need to grow the mostThe ways that, in an effort to protect us, our brains actually work against usHow many thoughts a day we have (it’s way more than you think!), of which 95% are unconscious onesMy own old subconscious thoughts and wounds that I realized were being brought to the surface when my kids would “act out”What part of the day is the best for mindset work because the brain is most malleable then

I have worked with thousands of parents in my free parenting bootcamps over the last 5 years, and the most common struggle I hear from them is that “I love my kids, but I am always yelling and I want to learn how to stop.”

We get in this cycle of yelling because the kids don’t listen, then we breed disconnection and they don’t listen more so we yell more, etc. All the while feeling guilt and shame around it. My goal with this podcast and my business is to help you ENJOY your kids again and really feel energized by interacting with them instead of guilt and shame.

In today’s episode, I’m sharing:

How loving and liking your kids are different things, and how to express both to your childrenMy favorite 6 reminders (with an acronym!) that, instead of guilt motivating you, can positively motivate you to work on conscious parenting and yelling lessThe ways that how we show up now as parents will shape our kids’ future relationshipsHow important it is to teach your kids not only about unconditional love, but how to fail as well

If you are a parent, you have for sure experienced at least one tantrum from your kids. Probably LOTS of tantrums. If you have been struggling with how to handle them or feeling like how you are currently handling them isn’t working, you’re in the right place.

Maya Angelou said, “When you know better, you do better.” 

In today’s episode, I’m sharing:

What tantrums are, how to tame them, and how to show up during them (whether your kids are 2 or 15!)Why our kids don’t have to be and shouldn’t be expected to be happy all the time and how having “tantrums” will actually benefit them as adults (if we learn to help them through it!)What emotional literacy is and how we can teach it to our kids, similarly to teaching reading literacyThe steps you can start taking TODAY to really connect with your kids and them learn to process their messy moments and complex emotions
