Episode Summary:

The topic we're covering today is one that is really close to my heart. I first got to know Parijat Deshpande when I appeared on her podcast, Delivering Miracles®, to discuss my own experience with secondary infertility. Infertility and pregnancy loss are both topics that affect so many parents out there, and it's just not talked about a lot. When I went through it myself, all I wanted was information and support about what I was going through, and I found both very difficult to find. But Parijat is on a mission to open up the conversation. She's allowing us to shine a light on a very sensitive and difficult topic, and I'm so happy she was able to join us here to share her experience and her expertise.

Parijat Deshpande is the leading high-risk pregnancy expert who guides women to have a healthy pregnancy, even if they have complications, so they can give their baby a strong start to life. She is the host of Delivering Miracles®, a podcast about infertility, loss, high-risk pregnancy, prematurity and healing after baby comes home. She is also the author of Pregnancy Brain: A Mind-Body Approach to Stress Management During a High-Risk Pregnancy due out in 2018. Parijat is a clinically-trained therapist, a women's wellness specialist and an experienced speaker on the impact of stress on health and wellness.

Episode Summary:

This is part two of our two-part series about child development. As I mentioned in the last episode, there are a lot of times when I'm struggling with a certain type of behavior with my kids, and understanding what's really going on with them developmentally has been SO helpful, so I wanted to pass that information along to you guys as well. If you haven't already heard part 1 of this series, push pause and go back to listen to that part first. This part will make a lot more sense if you hear that first. So with that, let's continue our conversation with Julia Pappas.

Julia Pappas is a Cognitive Psychologist, Parent Coach, and a Nationally Certified School Psychologist. She has over 15 years of experience working with parents and their children, and has particular expertise in child development, behavioral regulation, and learning needs. Julia believes in the power of parents to change the world by being the best resource, inspiration, and support they can be to their children. She empowers parents to own their mission, discover limiting beliefs and parenting blocks, and helps develop essential skills so that parents can have the most fulfilling years of their life while raising children.

(Editor's Note: I inaccurately refer to Julia Pappas as a doctor in this episode. To clarify, Julia Pappas has her Advanced Graduate Studies degree, but has not earned a doctorate).

Episode Summary:

Today's episode is the first in a two-part series, and it's something I've been wanting to cover since before I started this podcast nearly two years ago. I've learned a lot over the last 20 years about childhood development, and now that I'm a mom I've noticed that a LOT of that information is incredibly helpful to know. There are so many situations where I would normally lose my cool with my kids, but since I have certain information about what's REALLY going on with them, I'm able to address their behavior in a healthier and more effective way. I wanted to share some of these key pieces of information with you too. Hopefully knowing some of this will give you some insights that will help you know how to navigate those difficult moments with your kids. To help me dive even more into this topic, I'm excited to welcome Julia Pappas, an expert in child psychology and parent coaching.

Julia Pappas is a Cognitive Psychologist, Parent Coach, and a Nationally Certified School Psychologist. She has over 15 years of experience working with parents and their children, and has particular expertise in child development, behavioral regulation, and learning needs.

Episode Summary:

I've known Pat Flynn for a couple of years now, and even before I met him one thing has always stood out to me about him: he juggles several very successful businesses, a popular podcast and YouTube channel, a community with tens of thousands of members, and still his most important priority is being an involved husband and father. We ask ambitious moms all the time "how do you do it?" but we never ask dads the same question. Well, today we're asking Pat Flynn how he does it all.

Pat Flynn is a father, husband, and entrepreneur who lives and works in San Diego, CA. He owns several successful online businesses and is a professional blogger, keynote speaker, Wall Street Journal bestselling author, and host of the top-rated business podcast, The Smart Passive Income Podcast, which has earned over 30 million downloads, multiple awards and features in publications such as The New York Times and Forbes. He is also an advisor for LeadPages and other companies in the digital marketing arena.

The post "WPR058: Pat Flynn Shares How He 'Does It All' as a Busy Working Dad" appeared first on WorkingParentResource.com.

Episode Summary:

I don't really know a parent out there these days whose life ISN'T filled to the brim with things to do. Everyone I talk to is "Crazy-Busy." I think just about everyone who listens to this show is juggling some combination of work, building a business, usually a marriage or some other kind of serious romantic relationship, parenting your kids, friendships, hobbies, a lot of your kids have after-school activities, most of you are awesome and get in some type of exercise every week and you have to manage your household... there's just a lot going on for the average working parent. And the pace of our society in general is so "go-go-go" that even if you haven't filled your schedule with things to do, it can still feel like you're living your life in hyper-speed.

I've noticed that as all of these things pile up though, we really start to feel like we're living a BUSY life that's not all that meaningful or enriching. So many working parents I talk to feel like they're just going through the motions in their lives. They're struggling to keep up with everything they HAVE to do, which leaves NO time for the things they WANT to do. Their health is failing. They frequently feel exhausted and resentful. They don't feel all that connected to their spouse, and they feel like the time they spend with their kids is filled with distractions and chores and other meaningless activities. Most working parents I know these days feel like their life is one big fire drill.

If you've listened to any of the other episodes of this show, you've probably figured out by now that I don't really buy into this message that being a working parent HAS to be overwhelming or frustrating or exhausting. I know for a fact that being a working parent can be FUN. It can be an ADVENTURE. It can be fulfilling and rewarding and meaningful. It will definitely hand you challenges from time to time, but if you pay attention, those challenges can help you grow into an even better version of yourself. Life doesn't have to be awful as a working parent, and my main mission with the Working Parent Resource is to give you the tools you need to shift from that life of burnout to one where you feel really engaged and excited about what you're doing everyday.

I've had a lot of great conversations here on this show about the small things you can do to get out of survival mode and create a more fulfilling life for yourself as a working parent. And I think those really practical, granular solutions are the key to making big shifts in our lives. That's important to cover. But today I wanted to take a step back and look at this big picture concept of living a FULL life as a working parent, rather than just enduring a BUSY one.

So today I want to go through 11 things you should focus on to experience what I call "FULL PARENTHOOD" vs. BUSY PARENTHOOD. These are all things I've discovered to be really important parts of enjoying life as a working parent. So the more you can focus on doing these things, the more I think you'll really treasure this time in your life. And whenever you feel like you're struggling or you're just stretched thin, try to check back in to see if you're missing any of these things to get back on track.

Just wanted to record a quick message for you all, and let you know that the Working Parent Resource Podcast will be taking a little break for the Summer. I have a lot of different things going on in July and August which I'll share about here, and I also know summer is a busy time for all of you families out there too. So I thought it would be a good time to take a little hiatus and come back all refreshed and energized in September. In this episode I talk about what's going on for me personally, professionally, and what's coming in the Fall.

Episode Summary:

I am so excited to have Dr. Yael Schonbrun back on the show with me today. I interviewed Yael back on episode WPR024 about Striking the Right Balance Between Career Ambition and an Engaged Family Life. Today, we are diving into the topic of communication in relationships. I've said this before on this show, and I'm sure I'll say it a hundred more times: I believe the foundation of a family starts with the parents who are leading it. There's so much to do as working parents, and I know from first-hand experience how easy it is to put your marriage on the back-burner as other demands take over. So I'm thrilled that Yael was able to return to the show and offer her advice and insights around how to really connect with your partner as you juggle your career and kids and running the household and everything else that you do on a daily basis.

Yael is a clinical psychologist in private practice and an assistant professor at Brown University. In her spare time, she is a stay at home mother to her three boys. Her book exploring the psychology of straddling ambitious professional and engaged family life is coming out soon as well.

Episode Summary:

Courage isn't a topic that I've talked about a lot on this show, but after learning a little more about the work that Kate Swoboda is doing, I was excited to invite her on the show. One of the things I really want to do on the Working Parent Resource Podcast is pull back the curtains on what's REALLY motivating our behavior as working parents. I see a lot of solutions out there to help overwhelmed working parents, but a lot of them only address the surface level of the complex issues that parents are facing. Today Kate and I are diving much deeper into what really holds people back from pursuing a life that feels really GOOD for them. We talk about the reality of establishing new habits, and how our habits really are the foundation of the life we live. Kate not only offers some really interesting insights, but she also offers very practical action steps for you to take as you begin to implement these things into your own life.

Kate Swoboda is the creator of YourCourageousLife.com, Director of the Courageous Living Coach Certification at TribeCLCC.com, and author of the book, The Courage Habit. Her work has appeared in USA Today, Forbes, Entrepreneur, MindBodyGreen, and more. The Courage Habit discusses the connection between the psychology of courage and the neuropsychology of habit-formation, and the tools can be used in leadership, parenting, with creativity, and more.

Together we explore fundamental principles of psychology, the latest research on subjects such as happiness, productivity, mindfulness and relationships, and we hear personal stories that are all designed to help you become the best version of yourself in a noisy and demanding world. Let's break down the overwhelm together so you can create a more deliberate and fulfilling lifestyle on YOUR terms.

Sarah Argenal is the Founder and CEO of the Working Parent Resource and Host of the Working Parent Resource Podcast. She has her Master's degree in Counseling Psychology with an emphasis on Marriage and Family Therapy and Adult Development and is a Certified Professional Coach with 20 years of experience in psychotherapy, coaching, college-level instruction, program development, and project management. Sarah lives with her husband and two little boys in San Diego, California.
