  • Angry Me with Author Sandra Feder
    The long awaited podcast from author Sandra Feder about working with ANGER.. Who has a new book coming out.. “Calm Me”..

    So, what perfect timing to release this long awaited podcast about her last book “Angry Me”.
    ______________Angry Me
    Critically acclaimed writer, Sandra V. Feder, and award-winning illustrator, Rahele Jomepour Bell, create an artful starting point for conversations about strong feelings

    On the first page of Sandra V. Feder's latest book, Angry Me, a young girl faces herself in the mirror. She says, "I get angry." 
    What follows are resonant vignettes of our young girl being faced with hurtful, frustrating and overwhelming situations that feel especially intense to someone who has so little experience with them. The book is an excellent starting point for conversations about anger — important to have at any age.

    __________

    SANDRA V.  FEDER is the author of two picture books and three early chapter books. Angry Me is her sixth book (Calm Me, coming, soon.)

    Sandra is also the author of the early chapter books Daisy’s Perfect Word, Daisy’s Defining Day and Daisy’s Big Night, illustrated by Susan Mitchell.
    Sandra is a graduate of Stanford University and is an MFA candidate in the Writing for Children and Young Adults program at the Vermont College of Fine Arts. She is a black belt in Taekwondo, likes to paint and more. Sandra lives with her husband in Northern California.

    Each of Sandra's books is a unique blend of her artistry and quiet compassion.

    Recent review from Kirkus:"Readers of all ages will identify with the rush of this familiar emotion, explored so sensitively in the book’s thoughtful narrative and emotive, textured digital illustrations."

  • Can you step back for them to step up?

    In a whirled reality where so often one parent takes on the lion’s share of house/family reality, can that parent step back to see what happens, next?

    Sounds easier than it is.. yet, imagine what might show up..

  • Hope shines through your best life to fertility

    Through all clouds that might hover from past experiences and frustrations on your fertility path, hope shines through, even on the hardest days.

    What calls you?

    What do YOU need to move into your best life more deeply?

    What moves you to laugh and shine and feel hope and movement toward your most vivid dream?

    Let’s meet and spark that fire, together:).

    THIS MONTH’S LIVE is on a different day and time.

    Due to possible family surgery on our usual Friday, we’ll experiment with a new time:

    WEDNESDAY AT 7PM PDT/10PM EST
    Fertility Q and A and Meditation:
    https://www.youtube.com/live/mqmD63CXG4Q?feature=share

    Let’s see where that takes us? Morning me and evening me are a bit different. What about you? When do you come alive and soften?

    How does this effect your fertility journey? More on this, soon.

  • Navigating School and community demands, as a parent

    Much of your life is about the constant navigating of pulls, demands and your own desire to help and support various communities you are connected to.

    Yet, what if it’s not always a yes?

    What if you DON’T

    .. Say, YES..
    .. volunteer, today
    .. do all you think you need to do..
    ..give all you think you need to give.,
    ..all you WANT to do and give++

    We want to do so much.

    Don’t want to be the “no” parents.

    We see the gaps and holes where many don’t step up, and so we do.

    And, often our health and lives are impacted.

    Where does YES and NO serve YOU best?

    What if you DO..

    YES, AND..
    Do less.  
    Do what you are truly CAN do.. for school, and wherever you’re involved energetically and brings small (or large) pieces of joy..

    Come into the DOs..

    Where are YOUR YES’?

    That bring more energy, peace and ..

    Yep.. it’s all about practicing boundaries.. and teaching awareness of limits.. 

    Showing by doing.. for our kids..

  • Carmelita Tiu and the art of motherhood

    I loved this conversation!

    Carmelita Tiu  is a well spoken,  incredible podcaster of Know Them Be Them  Raise Them and mom of 2 daughters who shares her story with Imperfect Parenting.

    ***Come to talk with Carmelita and I, live tomorrow 5/25/23:
    10AM Pacific on Instagram:

    @ip_parenting
    ___________________
    Carmelita shares her heart and story, beautifully.

    A lot of mutual ahas.

    Carmelita speaks about immigrant expectations= best job, high paying start a family, etc.

    She got her law degree and art and is a creative mom.

    Then, an unexpected life event of divorce and reality of her family’s spiritual values and the reality of her new phase.
    ____

    We speak about:
    The 10 words every girl needs to learn.

    Helping our softer kids/people find their voice.

    Standing up for each other and ourselves.

    Rejection sensitivity-spectrum.. sensitivity..

    Fighting in front of our kids, and more.

    * Yep, imperfect recording sound.. woohoo..

    Links and connection to Carmelita Tiu:

    A mom of two girls, spouse, coach, podcaster, attorney, volunteer, art lover, traveler. 

    She believes that life is made richer with constant learning. That raising kids demands that we identify and rise above our own inherited and cultural patterns. That our biggest regrets are the things we didn’t do. 

    And that the quality of our relationships — including the one with ourselves — is the biggest factor in our happiness.

    * Carmelita does 1:1 coaching, has a collective and courses coming, soon:).
