In this episode with podcast listeners, Julia and Brooke, I cover many topics that I think many of you will relate.

To apply to be coached on the podcast.

Topics covered:

• Strong willed 8 year old with a sensitive nervous system who is super affected by lack of sleep and sugar

• Younger brother with easier temperament looks up to his older brother and mom worries that he is learning problematic behavior from big brother

• Dr. Bruce Lipton and Epigenetics

• Subconscious programming during the first 7 years of life and living in a Theta brainwave state

• Why mind mastery is the way to reprogram our adult brain

• Why strong willed kids propel us to learn how to reprogram our brains and become our biggest gifts

• Easy kids don’t present enough of a challenge for us to take the time to learn something new...wouldn’t it be more fun to binge watch Orange is the New Black rather than listening to parenting podcasts?!?

• It’s human to enjoy our easiest kids more and this has nothing to do with how much we love each of your children

• Sibling rivalry and why it often does have to do with jealousy because the strong willed ones know that we enjoy easier sibling more

• How our dynamic from growing up shows up as triggers when we see our kids display that same dynamic

• Mediation tool, my conflict resolution tool, to handle sibling rivalry…”victim first”

• The #1 mistake is going to the aggressor first. Ex: “Stop hurting your brother”.

• What you focus on grows

• Focus on the healing not the hurting by going to the “victim” first rather than the aggressor

• Strong willed 3 year old

• Less is more and quality over quantity...why Brooke nailed it by saying no to doing all the “best mom ever” stuff on the weekends

• Highly sensitive people and Elaine Aron’s work

• Anxiety and learning to see it as your superpower
