The Parenting Coach Podcast

5 years ago, I found myself with a door slammed in my face and a child screaming at me on the other side. Big emotions, big reactions, and not knowing how to respond to all of this “big-ness”. Shifts were slow and happened over time… and it all started with this: MINDSET. I didn’t realize how the way that I was thinking about myself, my parenting and my child was creating the current relationship I had with them- and keeping us stuck in this habitual thinking/feeling/doing pattern that I couldn’t seem to change. Mindset changed it all. Fast-forward 6 years and I have a LOT more stories about how mindset has changed things- resentment in my marriage, my kiddos dealing with anxiety and teens endlessly watching YouTube. It’s one of the quickest and simplest ways to change things in your life, and your kids. 

In this episode you’ll hear: 

• A little glimpse into my life 6 years ago attempting to parent a neurodiverse child with connection and love, but not being able to actually DO it
• How mindset entered my journey “after the fact”, and how it changed so much in our relationship (he changed too!)
• Everything is created in consciousness first- how our mindset shapes our reality
• Mindset and parenting around teens YouTube/screen use and anxiety in kids
• How mindset healed my resentment in marriage and how everything has changed since then
• Thought Dumps daily can help you access your thinking, gain awareness throughout the day and increase your response time during tough challenges that come up during the day

What do gentle parenting and permanent weight loss have to do with each other? More than you’d think! Weight-loss is the by-product of self-love and true discipline (not what you might think discipline is). Through this process of simplifying, listening to my body more, learning and loving my body more… I’ve lost weight SO much easier and simpler than before, in a sustainable and permanent way. Dropping diet culture, shame, and the focus on “skinny” and leaning into LOVE, connection and relationship with ME. My friend Laura Conley joins us for this conversation and shares her story and insights with us. 

Laura Conley is a Certified Life + Weight Loss Coach. Laura helps mamas who have been painfully struggling with diet drama (who have tried EVERYTHING) to lose weight for the last time and free themselves from food forever. She is on a maniacal mission to do this so that her clients can pass down a beautiful legacy to their children around food and bodies, weigh what they want, and live the life they have always dreamed of without the weight in the way. She does this through coaching her clients on how to balance their hunger hormones, rewire their brains, handle emotions, accountability and becoming their own bestie.

What we talk about: 

• what the diet culture/industry has wrong
• why beating yourself up doesn’t actually work
• teaching our own kids to love their own body’s and accept themselves
• the role of acceptance, love and discipline in both parenting and weight loss

Conscious parenting comes from our own inner healing, NOT from changing our kids, or focusing on their behaviours. Conscious means being intentional and aware. When I started on my own healing journey, I noticed that my children’s behaviour changed hugely… like it was mirroring my own healing journey. What I haven’t talked about until today is how much this change came from my shifting relationship with God… how I viewed God and how I viewed myself as well. Everything is interconnected and we dive into it in this episode.

In today’s episode:

• How my parenting shifted as I turned inwards (and how their meltdowns decreased, and behaviour improved as I stopped trying to change them)
• Tapping into the Truth that is already inside of you
• How the growth within myself and my children also mirrored my growth and change in my relationship with the Divine
• How everything is connected: God, parenting, us and our kids… and where to start the change
• My brand-NEW program to guide you through this change as well (click HERE for more info)
