    Here’s the thing: Our kids’ feelings might not always make logical sense to us, but it’s our job to trust those feelings and trust that they matter, even when we don’t get it.

  • Parenting Reflections: How to Regroup When You’ve Had a Rough Parenting Day (Yelling, Losing Your Cool, and Feeling Shame)

    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.

  • Parenting Reflections: How to Handle it When Your Child Says “I’m a Bad Kid”

    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. Helping them tolerate their feelings of shame often requires us to go against our instincts – but once you understand what to do in these moments, you’ll be so much better able to support your child and build real resilience.

  • Why I’m Taking a Short Break from Podcasting (& Why You Should Take a Break from Something Too!)

    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. And honestly, I’m really proud of the fact that I’ve delivered a new episode every Wednesday morning without fail for 18 straight months while raising 3 kids and running a therapy practice!

     

    In this week’s episode, I share why I’m taking a short break from podcasting, when I’ll be returning, what exciting things you can expect from this show once I return, and why taking a break is sometimes the most important thing we can do.

     

    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 absolutely have to find ways to prioritize ourselves, and after listening to today’s episode, you’ll have practical ideas for making your fitness a priority (without spending hours in the gym or having to have childcare).
