Mary Van Geffen is the international parenting coach for moms of Spicy OnesTM️. She helps
people who are highly competent in life but overwhelmed by motherhood to lean into the
spiritual discipline of staying calm and cultivating warmth and tenderness all while trying to
wrangle fiery future CEOs. Often this requires serious skill-building and the balm of
self-compassion.

Mary has a ministry on Instagram where she posts an inspiring parenting tip every single day.
Just reading her social media will help you delight in your child and remember that you are
enough. Mary believes that when a mom realizes how hard she is on herself and cracks the
door open for some self-compassion, her entire family is bathed in light!

She offers on-line parenting classes and her signature 8 week group program: Moms of Spicy
Ones to help moms gain the confidence to choose gentle, respectful parenting especially if they
weren’t raised that way.

Mary is a certified Simplicity Parenting Counselor® and Professional Co-Active Coach, but her
greatest achievement is cultivating a calm, kind and firm relationship with her Spicy go-getter
daughter (now 18), mild child son (16) and un-Enneagramable hubby.

Mary has a great course coming out for teens and tweens on how to shift your parenting to stay connected. Learn more at MaryVanGeffen.com

This episode is a rerun of episode 58. I am taking a 2-week break from releasing new episodes here at the beginning of the summer to kick off an awesome summer with my kids! We’ll be back in 2 weeks with fresh episodes, but for now, enjoy this throwback to one of my favorite guests on the show!

Wendy Snyder is a returning guest of the show! She is on today to talk about sibling rivalry. Wendy is a parenting coach. She inspires parents to learn and grow and she leads with connection based strategies. She is the creator of the Firm and Kind Parenting Blueprint. She has an amazing online community called the Bonfire Membership Program. 

In this episode, Wendy gives strategies that we can use as parents to help our kids learn about conflict resolution. One of my favorite methods that Wendy teaches in parenting is making proactive agreements ahead of time with your kids and we talk about this in this episode. I hope that you walk away from this conversation feeling armed for when your children argue.

I first found Wendy when I was looking for guests around the topic of parenting on The Illuminate Podcast. I interviewed Wendy about positive parenting. Now this is my fifth time interviewing Wendy! We’ve had so many conversations about compassionate discipline and reframing how we think about parenting.

What we talked about:

6:35- Lindsey’s example of siblings fighting

10:50- Debriefing sibling rivalry

41:00- Talking to your kids about how you feel when they fight

46:25- Reducing the amount of times that you and your kids yell
