Hey No Problem Parents!

Today I'm giving strategies and resources for how we can help our children and teens feel truly worthy and secure. Check out the powerful insights from the "Still Face Experiment" and how our emotional responses impact our kids' development.

I’m excited to welcome back author Bill Senyard (in the second segment) to talk about his new book, Tale of the Unlikely Prince.

Here’s What We’ll Cover:

The Still Face Experiment: Dr. Edward Tronick's groundbreaking research that reveals just how critical our emotional engagement is for our kids' sense of security and self-worth.

Getting to the Root of Challenging Behaviors: We often use strategies like time-outs or rewards, but these can miss the deeper issues.

Simple Ways to Connect with Your Child: I’ll give you practical tips—from snuggle time to making eye contact—that can help your child or teen feel truly seen and valued.

Introducing Tale of the Unlikely Prince by Bill Senyard: Bill joins me to discuss his new

fantasy book, which is a fantastic resource for both parents and teens to explore themes of self-worth, attachment, and unconditional love through the power of story.

Key Takeaways:

Emotional Engagement is Key: How we respond to our kids deeply affects their self-esteem and development.

Look Beyond the Behavior: We need to understand what’s really driving behaviors like defiance or withdrawal.

Moments of Connection Matter: Even small, intentional moments can make a big impact on how our kids feel about themselves.

Use Storytelling as a Tool: Bill’s book, Tale of the Unlikely Prince, offers a unique way to help teens—and us as parents—navigate complex emotions and build stronger connections.

What You Can Do Next:

Watch the Still Face Experiment video to see the importance of emotional engagement.

Grab a copy of Tale of the Unlikely Prince to dive deeper into understanding your child's inner world.

Listen to Episodes 4 and Episode 5 for more on attachment and behaviors.

Hey, No Problem Parents!

Today's episode is all about becoming a more intentional and confident leader—both in your home and at work. Whether you're navigating challenging conversations with your kids, managing stress at the office, or balancing both worlds, learning how to respond instead of react can make all the difference. We're breaking down practical ways to lead with purpose, no matter where you are or who you’re with.

Joining us is Daniel Blackburn, an inspiring author, speaker, executive coach, and yoga therapist who understands the power of intentional leadership in every area of life. Daniel’s book was a finalist in the National Indie Excellence Awards (big applause, Daniel!), and after 28 successful years as a leader in the natural foods industry, he took a bold step to focus on coaching and helping others grow with intention and confidence. Daniel lives in St. Paul, MN, with his wife Ann, and together they’ve raised three children and now enjoy being grandparents.

In this episode, Daniel shares his insights on:

How to move from reacting to responding with intention and confidence, whether you're at home with your kids or leading a team at work.

Practical steps to build intentional habits that can help you manage stress and stay grounded in the moment.

How mindfulness and meditation can support you in finding that pause, allowing you to choose a more thoughtful and effective response.

The connection between self-care and leadership, and why the way you treat yourself influences how you lead others.

How intentional leadership improves mental and emotional well-being, creating healthier dynamics both at home and in the workplace.

Tools to transform old, reaction-based behaviors into confident, purposeful actions that align with your values and goals.

Daniel's unique blend of executive leadership experience and his background in yoga therapy brings a down-to-earth and practical perspective on leading with intention. He offers real-life strategies you can start using today, whether you're parenting, managing a team, or just trying to stay centered in a busy world.
