Parenting Our Future

If you are reading this right now, take it as a sign. As an invitation to stop for a minute, and check in about your own needs and if you’re meeting them. The costs of not meeting your needs is too high to ignore. MANY MOMS are struggling and it’s costing them their happiness, peace, patience, physical and mental wellbeing, relationships, connection, and deep shame.

My guest Leslie Forde and I are talking about how so many moms are plagued by trying to manage the unimaginable. We are in a world where we’re spending more time parenting and more time working…so when are we spending time for OURSELVES?

Leslie is passionate about finding ways to help moms take care of their needs in order to end overwhelm, burnout, stress and unhappiness. She wants us to embrace and normalize getting help and letting go of shame when life gets messy (literally and figuratively!).

Mamas, lets band together to make taking care of ourselves NORMAL, free from shame and guilt!

Leslie is here to help us through all of it! Use the free resources from the Parent Toolbox below and download her “TimeCheck” app from her site www.momshierarchyofneeds.com

I get this question a lot. Sometimes people ask me because they know they want to be more peaceful, but some people ask because they think it means raising kids who are entitled snowflakes. I get it, and frankly, I wasn’t sure if it was for me until I understood what it was all about.

In a “full circle moment” I'm interviewing Kiva Shuler, the CEO of the Jai Institute of Parenting where I was trained and certified as a Parent Coach! We are talking about what “Peaceful Parenting” is, and what it isn’t.

We know that our childhoods carry enormous weight throughout our lives. As parents we have to approach the job of raising our children in a new way that recognizes we are living in a different world and we are tackling issues and situations that didn’t exist before. Peaceful parenting recognizes that our children are facing new challenges with mental health, social media, and the online world.

Parenting in a more peaceful way doesn’t mean your kids run the show. It doesn’t mean there aren’t boundaries. As parents we know we can’t be perfect, and we aren’t trying to be, but we show up for our kids with humility, curiosity, listening, and honouring who our kids are, not who we expect them to be (how many of us wish we had a little “mini me”? I know I did!). We know parenting can be painful, frustrating, gut wrenching and full of joy, fun, excitement and connection. It can be all these things at once!

About Kiva Schuler

Kiva Schuler is the Founder and CEO of The Jai Institute for Parenting, an organization that has trained over 1,000 parenting coaches globally. She is also the author of the ground-breaking book The Peaceful Parenting (R)evolution: Changing the World by Changing How We Parent which examines the "consequences" of traditional parenting methods and offers a more modern approach grounded in emotional intelligence, values-led leadership, and effective communication.

Kiva's passion for parenting stemmed from her own childhood experiences of neglect and trauma. Like many of her generation, she had a front-row seat to the kind of parenting that she did not want for her own children. The Jai Institute is the fulfillment of a promise that she made to herself when she was 16 years old that when she had children of her own, she would learn to parent them with compassion, consistency and communication.

Kiva’s passion, enthusiasm and effervescence instantly create openness, connection, and inspiration with her audiences. On a mission to change the culture around parenting, Kiva wants children to grow up to reach their full potential, and live their lives free of trauma, shame and emotional wounds. As a single mother, she has built an extraordinary business that has touched tens of thousands of lives, and empowered others who share her mission to do this work. Kiva holds a B.S. in Psychology from Washington University in St. Louis and is a Certified Professional Life Coach.

Can you really change your reality by changing the way you see a situation? My guest, Laura Noel says YES! In fact, the truth of this is not theory, it’s backed by scientific evidence.

Do you have a situation you’re struggling with? What are your thoughts about it? How does it make you feel? What are your emotions? What do you “do” as a result of those thoughts and feelings? And finally, what does it cost you?

Did you know that if you change your attitude about that situation that’s been plaguing you, you can change the situation? We are not talking about putting on rose coloured glasses but instead, harnessing the power of our minds and the way our brains work.

Laura and I discuss how we can change the way we see a situation so we can put ourselves in the driver's seat of our lives and have outcomes we want versus experiences that bring us down and hold us back from living a full and beautiful life!

THIS EPISODE will change your life! Listen in as we talk about how attitude influences your thoughts, feelings and actions and how changing your attitude will change EVERYTHING! It may feel like magic but it’s science! Use this to solve issues in relationships, with money, your kids or anything!

I hope you love this conversation as much as I do!

Can you overcome fear and anxiety? The answer is a huge YES! My guest Dr. Friedemann, is going to show you exactly how to do it!

In this episode, I have the most interesting conversation with Dr. Friedemann, that at times, his answers left me speechless. He talks about how powerful our subconscious mind is and how it’s always operating in the background working to keep us safe and happy. AND, if our lives have been overtaken by fear and anxiety, how to use this powerful operating system to get back to who we really are- not who we have been told to be or think we need to be.

So many people are living in survival mode because they don’t know who they really are. Do you remember when you were a child how sure of yourself you were in certain situations and areas? Why did we lose that? How did we lose it? It’s even harder for our kids with so many different voices telling them who they ‘should’ be, do and think.

The fact is, the way we cope with the stresses and anxiety in life is often through disempowering patterns where we give our power away in order to feel belonging. But that doesn't work in the long term because it comes from a place of needing external validation which we can never count on.

I loved every single minute of my conversation with Dr. Friedemann and I believe he has the key to helping you become empowered in your own life so you can shine your light and share your unique gifts with the world.

On March 21, 2023 Dr. Friedemann’s e-book will be 50% off! You can get it at http://drfriedemann.com/new-book/

Dr. Friedemann is the author of the award-winning book, The Fear and Anxiety Solution. His newest book, The Empowerment Solution (March 21, 2023), focuses on activating the healing power of the subconscious mind to switch out of stress- and anxiety-driven survival mode and make authenticity and confidence the everyday way of being.

Did you know that the most popular content on YouTube is kid's videos? How often are your kids on the platform watching videos? How often are you? Not only am I on YouTube with my channel, Parenting for Connection, my kids are also users. I say this to let you know I’m not vilifying or judging the millions of people who watch.

It is however, important for you to know and understand how the app works so that you can be discerning about what you consume and what you allow your kids to watch. YouTube is essentially a search engine and advertiser dressed up as a video platform that no other company has been able to duplicate.

My guest is leading business journalist, Mark Bergen, who’s written a book on the rise of YouTube and talks to me about how it came to be, and what parents need to look out for.

In this episode, we talk about content marketed to kids, YouTube’s relationship with its content providers, the history of problems the platform has had, and how they prioritize some content and creators over others.

We also talk about COPPA, The Child Online Privacy Protection Act, how it’s changed content. It’s a fascinating discussion every parent needs to hear.

Did you know that if your child poops less than 3x a week, they’re constipated? As a mom, I talk about poop more than I ever thought I would! But there’s so much to talk about!! It’s especially important when there is a lack of poop = constipation! That’s what I’m talking about in this episode!

I’m talking to Dietitian, Raquel Papu (pronounced Papoo! 💩😉) about why kids get constipated, what causes it, and how to treat it. We talk about a food first approach and also how exercise helps relieve constipation.

In this episode we talk about the importance of hydration, and foods that make pooping easier that are essentials for everyone's diets. Foods like fruits and veggies, nuts and seeds. Raquel talks about the foods that are the best for “getting things moving” and what to look for if your child needs a medical intervention.

This is one “talk” we can’t avoid…The Money Talk! Things have changed so much about the way we interact with money (who even carries cash anymore!?). What is money anyway? Is it bitcoin, crypto currency or is money still money? What is inflation? What is Shrinkflation?

We are talking about all things money so your kids can have a healthy understanding of what it is, and how to use it wisely. My guest Robin Taub, who is an expert on all things money, is breaking it down for us in the most non-boring way! We talk about what “financial literacy” is (the knowledge skills and confidence to make financial decisions at every stage of life) and how it’s the key to economic growth and prosperity and allows you to make sound financial decisions and grow your money, not be caught in too much debt.

What impression do your kids have of your finances? Do they think that you have a bottomless pit of money somewhere? Do they get the impression you have no money? Is the topic taboo in your household?

If you feel lost, you aren’t alone! Robin Taub is so knowledgeable on this topic and helps you to break it down into 5 main pillars that starts with “Earn” and is followed by save, spend, share, and invest.

One thing that Robin said in this episode, is that you want to start talking about money when your kids are young, so they can make mistakes when the stakes are low. That really resonated with me.

There are so many good Dads out there so I want to cover this topic carefully. The fact is that I have so many questions from moms asking how to get their husbands more involved, and to help out more. So many complain that their partners aren’t equal partners and that leads to resentment, frustration and anger. If your husband is disengaged in parenting, what do you do?

My guest, Jason Kreidman, the founder of “Dad University” is here to give us a dad’s perspective on how to approach your hubby to ask for what you want and need…so he’ll want to do it!

Jason says we need to start by communicating our wants and needs with them. No expectations mind reading allowed! No saying “he should know this!” Men are defined by their accomplishments and they need to be appreciated for them (us too!), so Jason suggests we give them a constant dose of appreciation and the result? They are going to want to do what makes us happy.

You can put this to the test yourself with these suggestions and the others Jason explains in our discussion.

In this episode we talk about why dads can become uninvolved, disengaged and unhelpful, and what we can do to change that.

Did you know that we aren’t meant to be happy all the time? Did you know we are set up for rewards? So much of what we do as humans is because of the way our brains are wired. It explains so much! And most importantly, it explains so much about our kids!

I love talking about the brain and in this episode, I’m talking to Dr. Loretta Breuning who is teaching us about what drives human motivation and how our brains are wired and why we should care!

In this episode we are talking about how critical chemicals in our brain work. First, we need to understand that we are wired for survival and what experiences we have in our early years, inform the way we react to situations later in life. We talk about Dopamine, Oxytocin, Serotonin, and Endorphin and how we can use them to feel good!

About Loretta Breuning

Loretta G. Breuning, PhD, is Founder of the Inner Mammal Institute and Professor Emerita of Management at California State University, East Bay. She is the author of many personal development books, including Habits of a Happy Brain: Retrain Your Brain to Boost Your Serotonin, Dopamine, Oxytocin and Endorphin Levels. As a teacher and a parent, she was not convinced by prevailing theories of human motivation. Then she learned about the brain chemistry we share with earlier mammals and everything made sense. She began creating resources that have helped thousands of people make peace with their inner mammal. Dr. Breuning's work has been translated into twelve languages and is cited in major media.
