Connection is THE most powerful tool in our parenting toolbox. Traditional parenting tactics look like spanking, grounding, and time-outs. You’ll notice with traditional methods that over time, they don’t really seem to work- in fact, they make things worse. Connection works long-term and creates the kind of relationship that you want to have with your kids.

In today’s episode:

• The real problem with rewards and punishments (and what they teach)
• How to use connection as teaching tool with our kids
• How to connect to US first- so we can connect with THEM with ease
• Connection and the model, where does it fit?

If you were disciplined through more coercive measures- spanking, time-outs, grounding, bribing or threats… you may have felt like you turned out just fine. What does fine actually look like though? How is this affecting your current parenting and your current self? Let’s dig into what FINE looks like and learn about what “inner healing” really means.

In today’s episode:

• How our childhood affects our parenting now
• What the FAWN trauma/alarm response is
• How we internalize our failures and mistakes as parents and people
• Why living an inauthentic life leads to burn-out
• Why we’re so emotionally reactive and what to do about it

Life coaching is integration- tune into this sneak peek of a coaching call where we move out of shame and into value-building. What do I want my life to look like and why? Does it need to look like anyone else’s? How can I find joy and peace in building the life I love?

What we coach on:

• Cooking dinner for kids who never enjoy or appreciate it
• Moving from shame in motherhood to growth
• All-or-nothing thinking and how it can block us from growth
• Finding the middle ground and ditching comparison

Years ago, I felt stuck in the weeds of parenting: nursing, non-sleeping kiddos, diagnoses, cooking, cleaning… repeating. I felt like I’d lost myself; who was I? What did I enjoy doing? What was important to me? Growing my relationship with myself was slow and intentional and changed everything in my life. It can change yours too.

In this episode you’ll hear:

• How to amplify positive emotions and lean into them more
• How toxic positivity differs from working on feeling happy
• Steps to help us build a healthy relationship with ourselves
• People-pleasing and not meeting our own needs

Conscious thinking is at the core of a healthy relationship with ourselves. If our inner self-talk is negative, it will skew all our other relationships, parenting included. If we want to change the way we parent, naturally, it starts with changing our relationship with us first.

On the podcast today:

• How to teach through connection and inspiration
• Modelling self-confidence and self-love to our kids
• What does a healthy relationship with me look like?
• Tools to use daily to build your relationship with yourself through conscious thinking

Consuming information can be truly helpful, and we can make shifts and changes from what we hear, see, or read… but THE biggest changes happen through integration. Integration comes from taking these tools and principles and USING them- applying them to our lives in a direct way. In today’s special episode you’ll hear one of my clients get coached on a struggle that she’s facing in life- and how it relates to shame/mom-guilt. If you are interested in working with me as your coach, send me an email and we’ll chat: [email protected]

What I coach her on:

• How shame turns to blame and affects our relationships
• Feeling like she’s failing the “mommy report card”
• Processing her emotions
• How she can become her own best friend (and so can you!)
