  • Good Girl!

    We think that we are a good mom if we do what we are "supposed" to do. And we come to this conclusion because that's what our parents taught us with their positive affirmations of "good girl!" when we did what they wanted us to do. And we continue to do that to our kids. When they cooperate we tell them good job. When they are getting along and playing nice we label them as a "good sister!" So of course we label ourselves that way also. Because surely if we just lost our temper, we are no longer good. right?... Wrong!

    I'd argue that who you ARE always IS. Always. No matter what, even if, and especially when.
    You ARE Good. And you ARE a Good Mom. AND you do things that are not good sometimes. You do things that are out of alignment with who you truly Are.
    And that's OK!

  • Faith and Repentance part 1

    In the Book of Mormon, Mosiah 18:20 says that the prophet Alma "commanded them that they should preach nothing save it were repentance and faith on the Lord, who had redeemed his people"

    In that spirit, I am sharing with you today in a two part series what Faith and Repentance have to do with Peaceful Parenting. 

    When I decided to become a Life Coach, my vision was to combine all the strategies that had helped me so much in my parenting journey which simply put involved Life Coaching, Parent Coaching, and Jesus Christ. We are tapping into more detail on that latter today. 

    In my journey of Believing I AM a Good Mom, I have to remember Whose I Am. The Great I Am. Christ is our redeemer who makes it ok that we are imperfect AND we are Still Good. He is Good. We are Good. It's all Good. Find out more in this and the next episodes.

  • Style Coaching with Sheri Brasier

    Today you get to meet my bestie, Sheri Brasier! She is a STYLE Coach! What?! Did you know that those exist?!

    If you are in the thick of raising small little humans right now, like I am, you may wonder why you would need a style coach?
    Well, maybe style was something that used to be important to you but in this new life and in this new body, you just don't seem to have the bandwidth to even begin to think about what to wear or how to accessorize it!
    Maybe you just need someone to help with the "heavy lifting" beforehand so that you know what you're actually looking for before you even step into the store.
    Sheri helps Moms like you with these scenarios and so much more!
    She shares some practical tips with us today like how to actually planning in advance for our family photo shoots and to schedule a time that you don't have the kids with you to go try things on at the store.

    We also explore the similarities between style and parenting! Who knew?!


    I love Sheri! She has coached me about the mental drama around my own self image and she has some great wisdom to impart in this episode.

    If you want to get started with a wardrobe capsule, she has a free starter kit that she will email to you when you sign up for her free life and style edit.
    Which is her amazing weekly email that has all the goods.
    And while you're at it, sign up for "Wednesday Wisdom from Emily Wardrop" here and you'll hear from both of us weekly to keep this party going!

  • Break the Rules!

    The main reason I find that people think that they are a "bad mom" is that they are not able to comply with a long list of expectations or "rules" that they have for themselves which qualifies them as a good mom. I think that this is all a big thought error. You ARE a Good Mom! Inherently. You just ARE. AND you do and don't do things that are not on that list. And it's ok.

    One of the first things I do with my clients is get awareness of this "list of rules" that we have for ourselves and our kids. Our unrealistically long list of expectations is what is causing all the havoc in our lives. It's not that we are a bad mom, it's that we don't understand that we are a good mom no matter what, even if, and especially when. 

    So break the rules. Who cares? Who made up this rule? Why should you comply with it? You're probably breaking it anyway but you're beating yourself up about it. Let's drop that second part and then we can work on "following" the rule if you decide it's actually something that is important to YOU. Not to your mom or your neighbor or sister or the author of that book you read. YOU! You are the mother here and you get to make the rules. Make the list short and doable and break all the rest! It is amazingly liberating!!

    And as a bonus tangent concept in this episode I go on my rant about how you don't HAVE to do anything and if you are doing it, then you DO actually WANT to.

  • What are you making it mean?

    When I ask you if you are a good mom you might actually say Yes! Awesome!! That's the goal, right? But do you believe that about yourself 100% of the time? No matter what, even if, and especially when?

    How about on a scale of 1-10? If "good mom" is a 10, where are you? Why?
    If you're an 8, maybe you're having a potty training issue or your son keeps hitting his sister or maybe you yelled at them about that and that is making you think that you are 8 out of 10.
    In this episode I will break down for you what we do in coaching that gives you awareness of your subconscious thoughts that are still trying to make it mean that you are a terrible mom, even when consciously you know that you are good.
    Because if you are struggling with your relationship with your kiddo, it's not because they still aren't potty trained yet and you're fed up with cleaning up the messes. The real problem is buried layers deeper in what you are making it mean.
    What are you making it mean? Is a question we use as coaches to help you figure out what the real problem is. So your daughter is 4 and not potty trained. So what? You think kids should be trained by 2. So what? Then there must be something wrong with. my kid. So what? So there must be something wrong with me. I haven't been able to figure this out yet. So? There's something wrong with me. There it is. I'm not a good mom. That's why I'm an 8.
    So when we clean that up, then we can peel off the layers starting at the bottom there. Do you see how that works?
    If you have no awareness that your brain is making it mean that you're a bad mom, then you can't change that and create the peaceful parent that you want to be. First step is awareness. Without judgement and dripping with self-compassion and grace.
    Asking yourself what you're making it mean will get you that awareness.
    And then you'll be ready to work with me to turn all your behavior issues (yours and theirs) into opportunities to solidify your new belief that you ARE Good. No matter what, even if and especially when.
    And when you're ready for a coach to help you through, chat with me for free and then use coupon code "Christmas" to get 11% off and your kids will get the best Christmas gift this year: a Mom who knows who she IS! Consciously and subconsciously. Let's get started changing those neuropathways!

  • Drop all Arguments

    Going along with "Letting him be him" another thought I love to remind myself (and my kids!) which immediately drops all the wars is


    "She can think that if she wants to"

    All arguments stop dead in their tracks when you use this phrase. 

    The best way to drop an argument war is to understand that the other person has their own agency and truly can think that if they want to. They don't need to agree with you. Different opinions and ideas make our world the amazing place that it is. We don't want to live in a "Stepford Wife" or "Truman Show" life. No one needs to agree with you. You can think what you want and when you get your own back about it and don't need validation from other people agreeing with you, you also can let go of controlling what everyone else thinks also. And you may learn a thing or two from a differing perspective.

    Read more on the blog or see the video on youtube.

    And when you're ready to apply these ideas to you and yours, I'd love to help. We can chat for free on zoom.

  • "Let" Him Be Him (and Her be Her) ((and you be you))

    K now we are getting into it. The tips, tricks, and tools to stop power struggles with your littles, create more peace in your parenting, and believe that you ARE a Good Mom!

    The more expectations you have, the more disappointed you will feel. If your only expectation of your son is for him to be him, you will not be annoyed (by your thoughts) every time he does exactly what he does. Instead, you will expect him to do that cause he always does! He has his agency. He's going to do what he does. We can try to influence our kids and teach them, but ultimately we can only control ourselves. So "let" him be him cause he's going to anyway.  And then, occasionally he may actually surprise you and behave the way you would rather him show up.
    After you've practiced this with your children, you'll notice it applies to you also. Instead of beating yourself up every time you "mess up", just expect that you will continue to be a human making mistakes and when you cut yourself some slack, you'll be pleasantly surprised that you actually start showing up "better" also!
