Why You Keep Getting Stuck in the Same Parenting Struggles (And How to Break Free) with Debbie


Listen Later

If you’ve ever thought, “Why does this keep happening?!”—whether it’s battles over transitions, screen time, or meltdowns—you’re not alone.

You try different strategies, set boundaries, offer choices… yet you keep getting stuck in the same frustrating cycles. The truth is, the situation isn’t actually the problem—it’s how we think about the situation that keeps us stuck.

You’ll learn:

✔ Why shifting your thoughts (not just the situation) is the key to breaking frustrating cycles

✔ How lower brain survival patterns—Fight, Flight, Freeze, Fawn—keep parents and kids stuck

✔ A simple mindset shift that helps you respond instead of react

✔ How to notice and reframe thoughts in the moment for better connection and cooperation

If you’re tired of power struggles and emotional exhaustion, this episode will help you take the first step toward real change.

Want to go deeper? Join us for our upcoming workshop:

"Mastering the Brain STEARing Model™: From Survival Reactions to Thriving Responses."

You'll learn step-by-step how to shift from reacting to responding, helping both you and your child move toward more connection, regulation, and peace.
