  • Life with Adult Children Struggling with Independence with Jodi Schilling

    I am excited to be interviewing Jodi Schilling today.  She is a certified Life Coach who works with moms who are navigating raising children with neuro diversity.  A neuro divergent child is a child that is born with significant challenges in learning and in communicating their needs. 

    She doesn't view being neuro divergent as being negative.  After all, we all struggle with learning and communicating.  These children were born with more severe neuro disabilities, jeopardizing their ability to learn at the same ability as many other children.

    Jodi helps moms first grieve; then start transforming themselves from being a broken mom to one that is happy and confident.  She helps them feel confident enough to know when to assist and when to let their children exercise their own independence. 

    Tune in to listen to her perspective on what your role as a mom is when children with neuro diversity become adults.

  • People That Hurt Others Are Hurting

    This has been the most influential, amazing concept I have learned from being trained as a life coach.  I need to give credit where credit is due, to my mentor and instructor Brooke Castillo.  Responsible adults do not intentionally wake up in the morning with the intention to make someone feel bad.  When your adult children say things to that are unkind, do things that are hurtful, or seemingly ignore you, they are not intentionally wanting to cause you to have thoughts that cause you to feel hurt.  They are hurting; there is something in their life with which they are struggling.  We all struggle with something.  When you can embody this concept, you are on the threshold of learning how to love and have compassion for your adult children.  Tune in to learn how to be a kinder, compassionate person.

    I ask you to please share this episode with anyone who is struggling in their relationship with their adult children who you feel might benefit from listening to this episode.

  • The Model is the Magic Sauce

    Why do some people see the glass half "full" while  others see it half "empty".  The ones that see it half full have different thoughts when they look at the glass of water than those who see it as half full.  In this episode you will find an amazing way to solve any problem.  It really is the magic sauce, sometimes referred to as the secret sauce.

  • Learning To Default To Compassionate Thoughts

    The natural man wants to default to judging another person for causing him to feel hurt.  Some of us know that other people don't have the power to make us feel hurt; our thoughts make us feel hurt.  Compassionate thoughts never cause us to feel hurt; they cause us to feel the most amazing of all emotions.....LOVE.  We have the power within us to default to feeling compassion rather than hurt.  Tune in to find what you can practice to find compassion for everyone in your life.  We all just want to feel peace with what's happening in our lives, the good and the messy.

  • It's All Good

    Do find yourself more often than not focusing on the negative outcome of circumstances instead of being hopeful that everything is going to work out?  It's just your brain trying to protect you from future disappointment.  But what if you trained your brain to give some "air time" to it could all work out?  In this episode I give you some ways you can start reprogramming your brain to see a more positive perspective to what is happening in your life.

  • Feeling Your Feelings

    Do you have some painful feelings that keep surfacing in your life?  Are they getting in the way of living the life you want to live?  If you are having negative feelings that are surfacing often, or are very intense, or seem to turn up in certain situations, I teach you how to de-intensify those feelings.  Turning to alchol or drugs or donuts or even running is not the fix.  Too often we want to change our thoughts or perspective but first we need to just "be" with that annoying feeling for a while.  I tell you how.
