Parenting

We're getting a better handle on how to navigate life through a pandemic, so things have picked up speed again and are back to feeling very overwhelming... and the burnout has never felt more real. Celeste and Magen share their thoughts on this very topic and discuss how they've been tackling saying no more, taking a step back from things, and making themselves a priority.
Get caught up with Celeste and Magen on this episode and see where life has taken them.

Co-Parenting and Parenting on Your Own Terms with Ann Kaplan | Ep. 65

Do you ever find yourself feeling like you are not doing enough? Not enough for yourself… Not enough for your marriage… Not enough for your child(ren)...
Or maybe, even that your partner is not doing enough…
SOOOO, it is not just us, right?
On this episode, Dr. Gertrude Lyons, Master Life Coach, Speaker, Mothering Revolutionary, and Mother of two daughters, joins us to dive deeper into navigating those challenging thoughts and feelings. She shares with us how we can invite our partners to have hard conversations regularly without shutting down. She also shares with us how we can tend to high stress moments (aka what we all like to call Mommy Rage). This episode has so many great tools and practices that help us communicate and connect better as individuals and as a family. Be sure to tune in.
