April 07, 2025 Episode 75 Raising Confident & Healthy Men
Boy moms, this episode is for you.

As a boy mom of two, I am keenly aware of the importance of my role in raising confident, healthy men.

Actually, my boys have been a big part of my healing journey. Having grown up with an abusive father, I needed to heal that pain so I could learn how to be healthy with my boys.

As well, having hundreds of conversations with teen boys in my role as school counsellor, I have learned how they think and what they need.

This episode is all about how we, boy moms, can raise confident, healthy men.

For those of you who don’t know me, I’m Anne Alvares.
I came from childhood pain. I suffered abuse, controlling parents, and was parentified. My healing journey began almost 30 years ago when I first told my story.
When I became a mother, I was determined to heal and not repeat the patterns of my childhood in my own parenting with my children.
Now, I teach parents how to foster healthy relationships with their kids. When we uncover our childhood story and become aware of our triggers, we can begin to heal and change. When we do this, our children thrive and we can feel good about our parenting.
I have over 16 years of experience working with teens and their families as a high school counsellor and I'm the mom of two so I understand the challenges. I teach parents relational parenting so you can foster healthy relationships with your children.
Let me help you to change.

March 31, 2025 Episode 74 Punishment Damages Our Kids, Do This Instead
Do you still use punishment to get your teenager to comply? Do you take things away, ground them, or demand they change or else?

Let me give you some insights as to what punishment actually does to our kids.

With the thousands of conversations I have had with teens over the last 16 years, I know what punishment and unhealthy behaviour does. It damages them.

I will give you another way, a healthier way, to get compliance. This way does not damage. This way boosts our teen's self esteem.

Listen in to Episode 74 on the Masterful Parenting Podcast as I unveil all the secrets to getting our kids on board with us.

Airs tomorrow.

March 24, 2025 Episode 73 Guest Ivan Hardcastle on Developing Sensory Awareness
Ivan Hardcastle. Occupational Therapist and Parent Coach.
I began my professional life as an occupational therapist in Twin Falls helping children with special needs to thrive. As a therapist, I have helped children who struggle with emotional regulation, autism, sensory integration and processing dysfunction, dyslexia, toileting accidents, and a wide variety of additional challenges.
In 2024, I expanded my reach and began helping parents of children with behavioral challenges thrive through coaching for emotional and sensory skills to use in the home... (more below)
I continue to affect lives through coaching and presenting to varied parent and professional groups throughout the world. My parent coaching expands my ability to give families the tools to help children succeed and thrive in their own home!
Together with my wife, I have raised five neurodivergent children.
