Self-love is an essential foundation for a child's emotional well-being and overall happiness. By nurturing self-love from an early age, we equip children with the necessary tools to navigate life's challenges with resilience and confidence.

In this interview Becky and I talk about practical tools to empower our children to embrace their individuality, celebrate their strengths, find beauty in their imperfections,  and love themselves unconditionally.

Becky Tilley is a passionate writer, advocate, and content creator dedicated to spreading the message of self-love and embracing our unique qualities. Her journey towards this purpose was shaped by a deeply personal experience—both herself and her two youngest children were diagnosed with Koolen-de-Vries Syndrome.

Through this challenging experience, Becky embarked on a profound journey of self-discovery and understanding. It became clear to her that in order to be the best role model and inspiration for her children and others, she needed to cultivate a deep sense of self-love and acceptance within herself.

Becky’s new book "Thrive Rare" is a heartfelt account of her personal journey, centred around finding strength and resilience in the face of rare diagnoses, both for herself and her children. It delves into the power of embracing our uniqueness and celebrates the extraordinary within each of us.

Welcome to another  episode from the series Amazing book takeaways. In this segment  I share concepts and ideas  I read and loved in a parenting or a personal development book that I think you could benefit from. 

Have you heard of  the Miracle Morning series by Hal Elrod? His books have helped thousands of people enjoy a peaceful and focused start of their day. They are a wonderful mix between a self-care routine and a personal development practice. As a mom of three young children I am a passionate advocate for having a self-care routine in place. 

Today I want to present to  you my takeaways from  the book “The Miracle Morning for Parents and Families”, which   is especially tailored to the needs of the parents struggling with all the added responsibilities of parenthood and little time to dedicate to themselves and their personal development. I am convinced that implementing the morning ritual in our lives will not only help us keep our sanity but will influence tremendously the way we raise our kids.

Does mentioning the word sibling rivalry trigger an immediate and intense reaction for you?  Does the dynamic between your children produce high levels of stress in your home? Trust me, you're not alone!

It could be the competition between the kids, the envy that one child feels for the accomplishments of the other, the resentment that each of them feels for the privileges of the other or simply the personal frustrations that they don’t dare let out on anyone else but their brother or sister. If you can recognise your family along these lines, Trust me, you're not alone. Sibling conflict is an undeniable part of growing up with brothers or sisters. 

And yet we can do more than just wait for things to get better on their own. In this episode I would like to explore ways we can survive our kids' quarrels and even turn them into valuable learning opportunities. I will give you a framework for dealing with them effectively.  It’s not something I came up with, the method has been around, I’m combining a few resources I have used throughout the years that help me get a better understanding of and deal with the heated arguments that inevitably arise.

Have you ever noticed your little one being deeply affected by certain sounds, textures, or environments? Or perhaps they seem to experience emotions more intensely than their peers? If these observations resonate with you, I invite you to join me on an eye-opening exploration into the world of highly sensitive children.

In the latest episode of the podcast Rashida Laxmidhar unravels the mysteries surrounding sensory overload and its impact on our little ones. We explore the subtle signs that may indicate your child is highly sensitive, creating a safe space for you to reflect and connect with your child on a deeper level.

Rashida is a mom of two and she has recently been introduced to the sensory concept. Having this new awareness has helped her better understand her children’s challenges and, looking back, her own childhood. 

Rashida is also the host of Parents Connecting, a podcast that emphasizes human connections through stories, conversations and real experiences of life, in lieu of the airbrushed lives we often see through social media and pop culture. She has a strong core belief that through conversations about the entirety of one’s life, [the good, the bad AND the ugly], is when we truly connect, relate, and learn from one another.

Summer’s here, kids are out of school, bursting with energy and ready for adventures. Where I live,  summer break is 3 months and a half.  This is way too long in my opinion, my kids even yearn for school at some point. For reference, in Germany summer break is less than 2 months. Anyway, if you don’t plan to spend the whole summer at the seaside, I have some ideas for summer activities that are suitable for children between 6 and 13,  kids who are maybe too young to be on their own all the time and old enough to need more than babysitting.

Get my take on:
- nature summer camps
- reading habits
- sports and art classes
- learning a second language in a fun and engaging way
- entrepreneurial ventures

Today I share an inspiring conversation with the lovely Kristina Driscoll from the "She's Brave" podcast where she helps women find their path to become brave, resilient and authentic. Kristina has learned how to be brave because she had to. Life has really thrown her some curveballs. She married her soulmate who was 24 years older than her and in 4 years they had their long-awaited child. Kristina’s husband was diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's when their son was only 5 years old. She was the caregiver to them both for 12 years. In our conversation Kristina shares the unique lessons she had to learn as a mother and what she had to teach her son in order to be able to survive and thrive in this challenging situation.

Kristina  emphasises the importance of living in the present, spending quality time with children, and seeking help and building a community of support. The conversation touches on therapy for children, the difficult decision of moving a loved one to a care home, and the myth of overprotective parenting.

This week's episode is a special one because I am not having a guest, I am not giving you the takeaways from a great book, I am tuning in solo and sharing my thoughts on the topic of helping our kids manage their emotional state. Resetting our emotional state can be a helpful practice for managing stress, anxiety, and other challenging emotions and the earlier our kids acquire this skill, the better. 

Just the other day I had a challenging situation with my daughter which turned into a great opportunity for me to coach her on how to change her state.  I realized that young children and even adults sometimes have trouble managing their emotions and getting out of a negative state. 

Here’s a few things you’ll learn from the episode:

• Why it’s important to avoid staying in a negative emotional state for long 
• What is an emotional home and how it determines the quality of our live
• Coping strategies your kids can use to change their emotional state

Today I share with  you a special talk I had with Maya, a mom of 2 girls and an anti-bias education consultant. Our topic for the interview was fostering diversity but as always it led us to discuss the parent child relationship as a whole. Maya has been in early childhood education for a long time and she has a lot of tools in her toolkit. We talked about our own unconscious parenting patterns in triggering situations and the right way to apologize to our kids when we react in a disrespectful way. We reflected on why it’s important to encourage our children to ask questions and be the ones that are always ready to answer or at least help them find the answer.

Welcome to an empowering conversation about money and the ways we teach money to kids. 

My guest this time  is Tania Vasallo who’s the host of The Courage To Be Podcast and the founder of The Courage To Be Happy, a global community of high-achieving women entrepreneurs working to become financially empowered and independent. 

Born to a Spanish father and an American mother and raised in Spain, Tania was constantly in search of freedom from a patriarchal society. She now specializes in transforming a mindset of lack to a mindset of abundance and prosperity so that her clients discover their own autonomy in their personal and financial choices. With her guidance her first Money Magic Miracles cohort of 28 women made over 1.2 million dollars collectively in just eight weeks. 

Tania has a 9 year old daughter and she shares great examples of how she empowers her to develop an abundance mindset, to be curious about money, to use her imagination to create sources of income even at this young age, to help understand how money can be used to help the community, the environment, or a cause close to heart. 

Listen in as we talk about how to help kids create a foundation for a  healthy relationship with money.

Welcome to another  bonus episode from the series Amazing Book Takeaways. In this segment  I share concepts and ideas  I read and loved in a parenting or a personal development book that I think you could benefit from.

This week I want to share with you my takeaways from the book "Entitlemania" by Richard Watts. 

The book tackles a sensitive topic, namely “How not to spoil your kids, and what to do if you have”. Although some of the things I mention might push your buttons, I think it’s important to talk about that so you have it in the back of your mind when making parenting decisions. 

The author makes the case that despite living in a world of instant access and unlimited knowledge resources, many children appear unequipped for their future lives. And it might be their parents’ fault.  In the process of giving our kids everything we didn’t have, we forget to give them what we did have.

The good news is that you can repair the setback you may have unwittingly and unintentionally caused to your child.  And the even better one is that if you’re just starting your parenting journey you can consciously parent in ways that prevent this from happening.  

The author gives us great tips on what to do and what not to do from now on which I have summarized for you in this episode.

If you are inspired to listen to the whole book I have a link for you.
