The Parenting Coach Podcast

Now that we know all about growth and fixed mindsets, how do we foster this in our children? Let’s learn several steps that help us to grow this mindset within them naturally and raise emotionally intelligent children. We all want our children to grow into capable, kind, and caring human beings. We want them to build resilience and know how to handle situations that will arise for them. All of this can be hugely helped when we intentionally work on growing their mindset.

What we dig into in this episode:

• How to reframe our failures into learning opportunities
• How to praise them in a way that fosters growth
• How to help our kids continuously build this mindset
• How not ALL of these things are needed all the time, but small simple changes over time

This is more than just a hot button word, it’s a new way of being. Growth mindset doesn’t happen overnight, but it can be fostered. Join me as we dig into what it is and how to shift it. Mindset is something we talk about allll of the time, as Life Coaches… but growth and fixed mindset are common terms to hear in schools, workplaces and everywhere else now. It’s easier to define and discuss these mindsets than it is to change them, but change is possible, tune in to figure out how.

What we cover in this episode:

• What a growth mindset is and how it varies from fixed mindset
• How we can determine to change our mindset and what we can do to change it over time
• What learning and unlearning happens so that we can role model this mindset for our kids

Do you feel like you lost yourself to your motherhood? Like you don’t know what lights you up anymore or who you truly are? This episode is for you. Join me as I share my journey of self-discovery, and how it’s taken me right to where I needed to be. I always truly enjoyed going to school, getting good grades and pleasing my teachers… but somehow, I wasn’t ever fully immersed in a true “love of learning”. I did it more for the outcome, cared more about the grades, than any true learning. This has shifted over time, but the shift was intentional, and the results were huge. I think you’ll enjoy hearing this sorry and how it relates to helping you find your passion again.

What we cover:

• How my learning journey was stunted by my fixed mindset
• How I discovered a growth mindset
• How you can find your passion too

Do you struggle with perfectionism in parenting, always thinking thoughts like “I’m a terrible mom”? We all deal with this. Let’s learn more about shame and a hack to help us through. We all want to be “supermom”. The problem is that being “superhuman” in any area of our lives is just that, superhuman… aka, unrealistic, and impossible.

What we go over today:

• How perfectionism affects our parenting
• Getting clear on shame and it’s role in our life

Have you ever thought about scientists and their process? I think it’s a lot like what we do in parenting. Hypothesize, test, observe, test again, change things, fail. I think scientists can teach us a lot about parenting. Failure is at the core of what a scientist does… but instead of feeling shame and discouragement, they use it to learn, grow and create new ideas to test. We can become the parent scientist and transform our frustrations and expectations into curiosity and connection. Let’s figure out how.

What we talk about in this episode:

• What scientists do
• The importance of observation
• How we can become parenting scientists
• How to develop our own theorems about our children

Have you ever heard of what “radical” actually means? It might not be what you think! Let’s uncover its basic meaning and how it relates to our natural parenting styles. Once we can unpack our own emotional and mindset baggage, connection is at our core. As humans, we are naturally wired for connection. As we age, limiting beliefs, others opinions, and situations around us arise that cloud our natural connection and inclination to parent in a positive way. Just like this thinking clouded us, it can be unclouded as well, let’s figure out where to start.

What we cover in this episode:

• How natural this form of parenting is
• Client examples of natural parenting despite lack of “knowledge”
• How you are your own parenting expert already
• Digging through the emotional and mental baggage is what uncovers this inner expert

This might seem counter intuitive, but the most impactful way to change your relationships with others is by changing your relationship with yourself. Your position on you is determined by a few things… your commitment, your thoughts, and your beliefs. When these things change, your relationship with you changes. When that changes, everything else in your life changes. Do you want a better relationship with someone, the ability to set and achieve goals, and to get more done and truly enjoy your life? Then start building a better relationship with YOU starting right now.

What we talk about today:

• What a relationship is
• How our thoughts about us affect our relationship
• Self-belief and the difference between confidence and self-confidence
• How we can change our thoughts and beliefs and create new relationships with us
