  • 57: Do You Ever Feel Like Having A Child Ruined Your Life?

    In this episode, I address a major question that many parents have asked themselves: Have you ever felt like having a kid ruined your life? I KNOW this statement is incredibly controversial… However, when you work with parents whose children are suffering so badly with daily meltdowns like I do,  it’s a statement that we hear frequently. A statement that, of course, is the most shameful thing a parent can admit. Because anyone with a pulse and a drop of empathy knows that even having that thought for a fleeting moment ONCE must affect your relationship with your kid… and their relationship with themselves. And since we only work with awesome parents, who always have awesome kids, admitting something like this is not only gut-wrenching. It can be paralyzing. But don’t fret just yet. We have the answers you need. Tune in.

  • 56: A Year Later: How Two Parents With 6 Meltdowns A Day Are Doing Now - Client Spotlight!

    In today's episode, I interview Carissa, a Bootcamp alumna, that struggled with the 6 meltdowns daily between her two HSCs. Carissa and Jimmy struggled helping their two HSCs manage their big emotions without wanting to check out or yell daily. Carissa felt her family was separating at the seams. She knew, that if she and Jimmy didn't take action on changing the way they parented their two Highly Sensitive Children wouldn't grow up close, nor supportive of each other and that was unacceptable. Learn about the decisions they made to live in a home meltdown free during a pandemic, sustain this lasting change for a year, and feel more empowered than ever...even when the world is saying many people's choices are shrunk.

  • 55: Eating Habits: My Sensitive Kid Keeps Under/Over Eating

    In this episode, I’m going to talk about how your child’s eating habits play a role in the meltdown cycle if your child is also suffering from daily meltdowns. As a parent, you wear a million hats, but there’s really only one that is essential. Keep your kid healthy - in a literal sense. Feed them. First, some housekeeping. I’m not a dietician. I have no formal educational background in nutrition. I don’t claim to know what the best thing to feed your child is, and I also am not qualified to give you information on what to feed them, or how to help them with measuring their food intake.  (This is why we have an OT parent consultant on our team.)

    What I am qualified to teach you is how eating habits can play a role in the meltdown cycle. Want to know how? Tune in to find out.

  • 53: My Kid Was Fine Last Year… Why is EVERYTHING Stressing Them Out Now?

    You always think you’ve finally figured out what triggers a meltdown… until the sun rises again and a new issue comes with it. It can almost feel like your kid is just being dramatic, or doing causing chaos to get attention. If these are thoughts YOU’VE had, you’re not alone. And you’re not a bad parent either. As an expert on the Highly Sensitive trait, I can tell you straight up that your kid is NOT doing this on purpose. Children cannot manipulate their parents. They don’t have the internal hardwiring in their brains to do so. So, why does your kid HATE places and events they used to love? Why do they throw a fit now or totally refuse, when they used to go willingly? Tune into find out.

    In this episode, I answer the question: Where do we draw the line with school? Helping your child get used to the virtual school day is hard enough, and if you’re parenting a Highly Sensitive Child, you need to be on your toes.  We speak to so many parents who report they’re lost in leading their children out of the fog of responsibilities of schooling behind a screen.  When you have a child who is experiencing intense emotions and you throw them into online school, there are a few things you need to pay attention to so this year doesn’t become a wash at best.

  • 48: 3 Reasons You Shouldn’t Rely On Facebook Groups to Help your HSC

    In this episode, I discuss social media and the danger of crowd sourcing information. We know it is full of a ton of fake information, scam coaches, “quick fixes,” So it might not make any sense to you when I say this, but… Facebook groups can be a VERY toxic place. It sounds contradictory coming from me. Considering my Facebook group, Parent Your Highly Sensitive Child Like a Ninja, is how most parents find us. But I’m not naive to the fact that there is a TON of misinformation floating around in Facebook groups regularly. This isn’t a criticism - everyone parents differently. But we are parenting experts... And you are in our group to get expert advice.Tune in to learn exactly why you should stop seeking advice from parents in the comments section and how you can start digging into the real problem that started your journey to seek help in the first place.
