These Two Moms

Welcome Alicia! What a great time we had talking with Alicia about establishing a family culture, the importance of conflict resolution, and what a shock it is to the realize that other people have different needs and values than us. Plus how all of that relates to the parenting relationship and how so much of parenting is working through your own triggers and doing your own emotional work towards healing.

So many of us attach our self-worth to our performance - how well we do in school, how much money we earn, performance in sports or mile long to-do lists. Separating our achievements with our innate, inherent worth is incredibly important work. Today we talk about the importance of finding the real WHY beneath each goal we make, because when you have a why that matches your deepest motivations, you can pour yourself into your goals instead of feeling like you're struggling uphill. Thanks for listening!

WE'RE BACK!! Season 2 starts off with a zinger - apologies. We tend to focus on our intent (and are often very gracious with our judgements), but hesitate to give others the benefit of the doubt and judge them only based on the impact their actions had. We talk about how switching those focuses helps us be generous in our judgements towards others and helps us apologize better. Apologies are key to every relationship!

We all have flaws. This episode will serve as a reminder to you that the annoying things your partner does are there for a reason and to treat that trait with the compassion that it needs. Romanticism does not serve us in reality; treat your partner like the person they really are instead of the person you think they are supposed to be.

This week it's all about Marie! We chat about bucket lists, life coaching, honoring your body, and abundant vs scarcity mindset. If you're looking for tv or movie recommendations, she's your gal. Or if you're in the mood for adventure, casually mention a trip you want to take and Marie will find flights and come with you!

In this short and sweet episode we borrow some questions from Tribe of Mentors by Timothy Ferriss for a thoughtful interview that isn't just about favorite colors or how many siblings Brittany has. Do any of her answers surprise you? Brittany also wants to share that she feels it's important for everyone to have a favorite song and a favorite movie. Her favorite song is Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson and favorite movie is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. 

Today we are excited to have Veenu on the podcast! She is a parent/child master coach with 23 years of experience helping families bridge gaps with communication and understanding providing an environment where kids feel safe, seen, and heard. In this episode we discuss how to ask better questions and focus on being curious about our children so we can better connect with them. We focus on gaining confidence in your own parenting style, and remind you that there is no one best right perfect way to parent each child. Chameleon Parenting for the win!

Now that we're all a little more familiar with the script system, let's talk about developing characteristics from scripts we need more practice with. Best advice? Find someone that lives that script naturally so you can emulate them. Since it's hard to teach something you haven't had to learn yourself, also find someone who has had to learn that characteristic!

We also go into how to understand each script a bit better and accommodate their perspectives in our own life. This is hard! It is hard to take ourselves out of our story and see the world from a different point of view, but we promise it is so worth it.

A new year comes with new goals, and we get bombarded with diet culture propaganda. We have been through a lot with our own body image issues, so here we share a bit of our backgrounds and give some advice for each script! Stay tuned to the end for a crash course on Intuitive Eating!
