Have you ever had one of those parenting days where you just keep messing up and making parenting mistakes? You yell at your child, you lose your cool, and you feel guilt and shame and like you don’t know how to get back on track?

In this week's episode, I bring you behind the scenes of my own parenting life and walk you through a day where I yelled, called my son “mean” and “a terrible brother,” and ultimately just felt off my parenting game. I share what happened, why I was actually primed to make these mistakes that day, and how I recovered and got my family back on track.

Here’s the thing: We ALL have those days where we get it wrong more than we get it right, and knowing how to recover from those days is EVERYTHING. Because when we know how to recover and repair after yelling and losing our cool, we leave our relationship with our highly sensitive child even stronger than it was before our mistakes.

What do you do when your highly sensitive child insists that they’re “a bad kid” or that they’re “stupid?” How do you handle it without making things worse? 

In this week's episode, I share a story from my own real-life parenting where my child insisted that he was a bad kid, and I initially handled the situation in a way that made things worse. I also share what I did to repair my mistake and how I eventually helped him with these uncomfortable feelings.

Here’s the thing: Our highly sensitive kids often feel intense shame, especially when they make a mistake or feel as though they’ve disappointed us.

I can’t believe it’s been almost *exactly* a year and a half since I started this podcast. It’s been an absolute honor & a super fun adventure so far.

Here’s the thing: Sometimes we need to slow down in order to speed up, and that’s exactly what this break is allowing me to do. I’ll miss being here with you these next few weeks, but I cannot wait to come back refreshed & ready to share some exciting new episodes and adventures with you!

As busy parents, we’re all trying to fit in self-care around the 24/7 job of caring for our kids. It’s not easy, and sometimes it can even feel impossible to make time for things like exercise when you’re raising little kids. 

In this week’s episode, I talk with Lauren Chante – wellness strategist, former celebrity personal trainer, and mom of 3 – about how you can ensure that you move your body each day, even if you feel like you have zero time and no childcare.
