Parenting Paused episodes

  • Ep. 140 Coming to Conclusions

    Last week on Parenting Paused we talked about how the way you were parented has a profound impact on how you now parent, and it may not be obvious the ways.

    So this week Leslie shares more about why that is- how you came to conclusions when you were young and those conclusions may be at work below the surface of your parenting. Part of becoming the parent you wish to be is to check out those early conclusions and in this episode, you will get support on how to do just that! www.purejoyparenting.com

  • Ep. 139 How You Were Parented

    In your parenting journey have you ever said something like...

    I never want to be like my mom...

    Or I'm going to be just like my dad...

    One is about doing things differently, the other trying to be the same. And yet both are focused on how YOU were parented, rather than being in a relationship with your child. This happens because how you were parented has a profound impact on how you parent. Tune into this week's podcast with Leslie Potter to hear more about how and why this happens, how to take steps toward focusing on your own personal brilliance, and creating a parenting presence that shares that with your child.

  • Ep. 135 Catching The Hot Potato Feeling
    Attunement- a word often used in attachment parenting, or conscious parenting, about tuning into your child's feelings. What is not often talked about is how attuning can often bring up uncomfortable or unresolved feelings inside of you, feelings you have organized your life not to feel. Tune into this week's podcast to hear more about the energy of those feelings and what happens when you catch the emotional hot potato from your child.

  • Ep. 134 Governing Guilt

    This week's podcast wraps up a 4 part series we've been working through over the last few weeks- about The Origins of Mom-guilt! We talked about true cooperation versus demanding compliance, how to be with the heat of rage, and the heaviness of disappointment, and this week we are turning to another feeling that you most likely don't like! But any time you don't want to feel a feeling- you have to leave yourself or self-aggress. In the Purejoy view- we see guilt as a refusal to truly intimate with whatever is coming up in the moment. Tune into this week's episode to hear more about how that works, and what might be more true of you and your desire to be in open-hearted relationship with your child.

    More than likely you want your child to cooperate, yeah? And what happens when they don't? If they say no? Do you get frustrated? Demand? Seek for their compliance? It can be a lot! In this week's episode, Leslie talks about what supports a cooperative spirit in children, and what doesn't. Hear about ways to recognize where you might be holding a hidden agenda, and how to work with what arises in you so that you can find connection and cooperation in the present moment with your kiddo.
