Why Play And Joy Can Feel So Hard For Adults (a convo with Dr. Shawn Hondorp) 1:02:37

Play Pause

1d ago1:02:37

1:02:37

Don’t you just love how little kids play so completely? They experience fun and joy without any self-consciousness or worrying about what others might think. But for many of us, this concept can feel elusive and far away as adults. If you grew up in a house where you walked on eggshells, you may not be conditioned for joy and play. I know this has …

Want Confident Kids? Growing Resilient Kids with Dr. Kate Lund 49:55

29d ago49:55

49:55

Disappointment. Rejection. Failing to meet their goals. It’s so tough to watch our kids struggle when they’re feeling the discomfort of disappointment. I often call myself “a fixer in recovery that QUITE often relapses”. I have a joy agenda for the people I love. Sometimes my own discomfort over their discomfort leads to a relapse. I jump into full…

Do Your Kids Feel Safe Enough to Build Secure Attachments? (with Kirby Fling) 1:08:40

2M ago1:08:40

1:08:40

Every time I learn more about Attachment Theory, it feels so eye-opening. It explains so much about me and my Mastermind moms. I hear it when we talk about how we were raised, how we relate to our parents, and how we’ve tried to fill the spaces we feel in our hearts. Building a secure attachment style is so important for who our kids will become in…

What If Your Mom Just Isn’t “Your Person” Anymore? 26:13

2M ago26:13

26:13

I’ve got a bite-sized treat of an episode for you this week. I was recently coaching a Mastermind mama who’s struggling with the changing relationship with her own mother. As she changes, her relationship with her mom is changing too. And change is hard and can even feel scary. Especially when it feels like the people closest aren’t necessarily thr…

The Hidden Mind Calling The Shots (with Kirby Fling) 1:10:42

4M ago1:10:42

1:10:42

You think you’re parenting with one mind. You’re not. There’s the mind that reads the books and makes the plans. And there’s the other mind—the one running the show when your kid does that thing that makes your jaw clench and chest tighten. Kirby Fling sees this clearly. His Two-Mind Method helps you understand the two versions of yourself that sho…

The Anxious Generation by Jonathan Haidt, with Randi and Avery… a must listen for every parent! 1:04:34

4M ago1:04:34

1:04:34

I’ve been saying for a long, long time that raising kids in the digital age is like the Wild Wild West! We are all just trying to make the best decisions for our kids with the info we currently have at any given time. And it’s really hard to know what the right decision is when you’re a pioneer parent (as all of us are here - raising kids at a time…

Where Gentle Parenting has Lost the Plot (a convo with Avital Schreiber Levy) 1:05:41

5M ago1:05:41

1:05:41

Gentle Parenting has become a sort of parenting movement over the last decade or so. I’ve been here for more than a hot minute and it’s interesting what I’ve noticed. You see, before Gentle there was Conscious Parenting and before that there was Love and Logic and and and. I think the original founders of these methods were probably drinking the sa…

You Want Your Kids To Be Seen As “Good Kids”… So What? 45:30

5M ago45:30

45:30

We want to raise “good kids.” Kids who are kind. Kids who share. Kids who can handle themselves in a respectable manner when they go over to a friend’s house for dinner. We don’t want our kids to be high maintenance or frankly, bratty. We want to raise kids who can get along in the world, but we also want to raise kids whose behavior shows the worl…

Time’s Up Silicon Valley! We, The Parents, Are Taking Back The Power Of Protecting Our Kids Online (With Titania Jordan Of Bark Technologies) 46:43

5M ago46:43

46:43

A common anxiety I often uncover with my moms is: Now that I know what I know about the dangers of tech… it just feels too late to change things with my kids. Maybe you read the NYT best seller, Anxious Generation, and… let’s just say, you’re feeling VERY. FLIPPIN’. ANXIOUS. You’re beginning to understand why your kids act like raccoons on meth whe…

Our Review of the Netflix Show Adolescence: Teens, Screens, and Toxic Masculinity 1:00:13

6M ago1:00:13

1:00:13

Spoiler alert! Ya’ll probably know that I LOVE a good TV show. A comfy blanket and a cozy watch is a reliable happy place for me. So when my family recommended the Netflix thriller, “Adolescence,” I have to say I was a little resistant. But eventually they convinced me, and I am SO GLAD they did! “Adolescence” is a short 4-episode drama series abou…

Do You Have To Play With Your Kids To Be A “Good Mom”? (with Dr. Shawn Hondorp) 1:11:51

6M ago1:11:51

1:11:51

Raising a strong-willed kid is harder. Even draining sometimes. Sitting on the floor and playing with toys felt like the worst to me. I now realize that I found other playful ways to be with my kids… but I still sometimes feel a little guilty about not being a Barbie or Legos kind of mom. So when Dr. Shawn Hondorp invited me on her podcast, The Inn…

The Biggest Mistake We Make Around Homework (And what to do instead!) 52:44

7M ago52:44

52:44

You want to help your kids succeed in school - that’s a given. School success is a big area of anxiety and worry I often see with parents I coach. Many well-intentioned parents get more and more involved in their kids’ homework - but more involvement often leads to more long term struggles. Becoming the homework helpline might help get your kids’ g…

What Even Is Pack Leadership? (with Dr. Shawn Hondorp) 1:15:36

7M ago1:15:36

1:15:36

You’ve probably heard me talk about pack leadership, and how I believe it’s the holy grail in creating a more peaceful family. Humans learn through stories, and I have SO MANY stories about empowered parents, stronger family connections, and sensitive kiddos who finally feel understood. But sometimes you have to go back to basics, like I did this w…

How and (How Not To) Apologize… Better 42:26

8M ago42:26

42:26

Apologizing can feel hard. Maybe even harder than we care to admit to ourselves. It’s vulnerable to look at a situation where you may have hurt someone you love…especially when that someone is your own kid. Owning your mistake in a heartfelt way can potentially repair a fractured relationship. Which is why Avery and I had to talk about a very publi…

The Invisible Trauma of Why You Might be a Lone Wolf with Ruth Cohn 1:22:25

8M ago1:22:25

1:22:25

It might feel like terrible news that building our pack leadership involves going back into our own childhoods. It can feel scary to go back to the “belly of the beast”… after all, you survived your childhood. Who on this God’s green earth would actually choose to look back when you’re so focused on changing cycles and moving forward? When the patt…

Y’all probably know I’m not the biggest fan of the way learning happens in most classrooms…and oh, there are so many reasons. I have believed for a long time that traditional education is outdated and needs a ginormous revamp. However, I wasn’t willing to homeschool my own kids. I liked the break and having my days as my own. So year after year, I …

How exciting is it when you have a conversation that sparks a ton of ideas you want to share? That’s how my daughter Avery and I felt after our chat with Michael DiMartino.

Kids Learn Through Stories, With Michael Dimartino, Co-Creator Of Avatar: The Last Airbender 1:01:31

10M ago1:01:31

1:01:31

Humans have always learned through stories. It can be easy to forget this fun fact when there are toys and backbacks and shoes covering the floor. AND we still want them to learn morals and values and life lessons. This is where brilliant storytellers like Mike come in. Michael DiMartino’s stories have had a huge impact on my kids, and children aro…

My daughter, Avery, is first-gen Mastermind Parenting, (once removed:) . The “once removed” was her description - “the MMP recipe was still being perfected:)”. She’s grown and flown now, but it’s been fascinating to watch her put Mastermind principles into practice. These days she probably teaches me more than vice versa. Avery is on the pod this w…
