In this episode of Leadership Parenting, we attempt to answer the question all of us ask at one time or another...WHY?   Why do I feel like this? Why am I overeating? Why does he make me so angry? Why can't I get myself to do the things I want...why?

The answer lies deep within you - where your values live.
Simply defined- your values are the things that really matter to you.  Your values are influencing you constantly- and when you understand your own personal set of values,  you will have so much insight and more control in your life.  
 From exploring your values for self-awareness to understanding competing values and being value-driven in parenthood, this episode is packed with insights and practical advice! Join me as we unlock one of the biggest keys to resilience and discover what really matters to you!

Ultimately our beliefs about identity, about who we are, lay the foundation for truly just about everything in our life. 

In this episode, I break identity into 2 forms and we look at how each form can impact how we feel about ourselves.

You see, we all struggle with holding onto self esteem – and we talk about why this is. (Hint- it has to do with your brain’s survival programming).

But there is a better way to anchor your esteem and it’s in finding and hanging onto something that is already within you! This is kind of like a treasure hunt.

The treasure is your essential identity and once we know to reach for it, we are on our way to living the life we want to live. Knowing your true identity is important to building resilience.

Listen to this episode to find your hidden treasure and learn how to use it to help you see yourself and your kids as you REALLY are.

In this episode, we dive into the difference between happiness and resilience and how understanding this distinction can change our lives for the better. As a therapist and a mom, I discuss the importance of building resilience for ourselves and our children. We explore the concept of life being a fluid, non-linear journey, much like an infinity symbol, allowing us to accept the ups and downs as a natural part of life. By redefining our expectations of happiness and connecting with our values, we can build a more fulfilling life. We also discuss a powerful resilience-building exercise called the "what went well" practice, which can lead to increased feelings of hope, motivation, and connection. Join me as we learn how to embrace both happiness and resilience, gracefully navigating life's inevitable challenges.
