Today we are going to piggy back the episode from last week. Last week we learned how we have an all or nothing in our habits to a degree in different areas of our lives. Today we are going to unpack how that can show up in our relationships where our mindset can go to all or nothing about people that they are all good or all bad. Once we can find the teeter totter balance within ourselves then it is easier to project that on to our kids, spouse, loved ones, acquaintances and people from our p...

Is there anything worse than a child having a tantrum in a store? Sometimes it is easier to just give in just to avoid the glares and stares from the other customers. If you are out and about and your child loses their mind then I have just the solution for you to not make it stress you out so much. Public tantrums are hard for us because we have an underlying narrative that we are a bad parent that runs on loop in the background. So when they tantrum in public we think everyone else around us...

Do you ever think you’re always lecturing your kids about their behavior and it’s going in one ear and out the other ear?

Do you ever worry about how you’re doing as a parent? If so, then join the club. I don’t think I’ve ever met a parent that doesn’t worry about their kids or how they are doing as a parent. It is very normal to worry. We love our kids so much and being their parent is one of the most vulnerable feelings we will ever have in life. The brain doesn’t like to feel vulnerable. As soon as the brain gets a whiff of vulnerability then it sends in the troops to set up a worry stand to blockade those vu...

We are talking about what makes us blow our top! How come our kids can do something which makes us ragey, but if we hear about another kid doing the same thing we are all soft and mushy about it? Like if our 4 year old niece or nephew secretly cut their hair and butcher it, we think it’ll lead to a cute story later in life, but if our kids cut their hair at 4 then we lose our minds and want to ban scissors in the house for life. Today I’ll unpack triggers and how to be aware of them. Together...

I polled all of you about laundry and wow did you have a lot of strong emotions. You know how I love strong emotions so I’m here for it and will try to lighten your load a bit. I’m speaking about laundry today, but even more about lightening our emotions around it so it doesn't have such a hold on us all. Unfortunately, laundry is here to stay so we have to take control of the raffia. One of the biggest pain points with laundry that you told me is the folding/putting away step so today I hav...

Do you ever think or exclaim “What were you thinking?" when you’re kids make wonky decisions? I’ve done it a million times as I’m also a listener to our podcast too. So today will be for both of us to bring more insight on what they are thinking and how we can see their behavior as separate from us and not a reflection of us and our worthiness . Their side of the street does not dictate how we are doing and is not our report card for our value as a parent. Hopefully today will be just what y...

Does it ever seem like parenting feels hard all of the time? If so, then today’s episode will be just for you if you don’t know how to show up when it’s so hard. Or you may feel an immense amount of guilt for not enjoying every second of parenting. Or you may feel like parenting is just too dang hard and you’re doing it all wrong.

Do you have trouble finding a good balance between your personal life, professional life, and parenting life?

Chances are high that the way to find good balance in your life is not by completing all tasks, but by doing a little bit of each ...

Can we walk the tightrope of doing exactly enough for our kids so they succeed? My son Grady (who, at the time of recording this episode, is 11) was curious about one of his cousins who has taken a job at a cinema. He asked questions like “how does he know which button to push for a customer ordering popcorn?” and “how does he know where to GET the popcorn?” I explained the concept of “job shadow” training to Grady. His cousin will start work as a trainee and watch a seasoned cinema worker. Gr...

In this episode, I’ll help you understand WHAT emotional regulation is (and it’s not creating emotionless robots!), WHY emotional regulation is an ...

Do you ever procrastinate? How about … get distracted?! I procrastinate and I get distracted sometimes. No shame in that! This episode is about our habits of hiding from work that needs doing. I don’t mean like house work or schoolwork, but inner work. We all have something in our lives that we don’t enjoy. We’ve focused a lot of negative energy toward it. It could be the dishes, our unfulfilled vision board, our unrealized fitness plans, any or all of our bad habits, or maybe the cleanliness ...
