Episode 42:
Feeling Overwhelmed
Are you feeling like life is moving too fast? Is Everything happening all at once?
The word for this week is overwhelmed. When we feel stressed and chaos all the time we move into constant overwhelm and will reach burn out- UNLESS we do something to change.
I have made these changes. I have recently put this into practice in my own life, and you can too.

Kids Who Use Words as a Weapon
Some children are skilled at using words. Early talkers? Great communicator? Argumentative? Liar? Words are their super power, and though some kids can articulate themselves quite well, they quickly learn that words are a tool to manipulate and hurt others. Learn how to create positive habits in your kids, and to encourage them to use their words for good. You have everything you need to be the parent your child needs- you just need a guide! Let me help you reach the hearts of your kids!

Episode 39:
You Are A Limited Resource
(Part 1)
Hey friend!
I really want you to listen to this podcast. I want you to REALLY hear my heart for you, because you’re believing lies about yourself that aren’t just affecting you, but these lies are leaking out into your relationship with your partner and your kids, too.
If you struggle with negativity or self-doubt, I can relate. Change is really hard anytime, but when you feel like an imposter it’s difficult to maintain any positive growth. You start a health and weight loss plan, but then the weekend hits and you fall apart. You decide you’re not going to yell at your kids but then your day goes sideways and you’re stomping around the house shouting out commands. I’ve been to ALL of those places.
Maybe you feel like you’ve tried everything already, but real, lasting change comes from learning how to take care of you first- not last! Drink as much as your pour. Fill your cup. The cute sayings are true, but we’ve missed the boat on the concept of self-care and we’re barely staying afloat. The good news, though, is that I can help you learn to take care of yourself.
Self-Care is being good to yourself. Taking care of yourself. And really hear me- Being a GOOD FRIEND to yourself. Would you love to have a friend that berated you constantly but then bought you flowers? Told you how stupid you were but then gave you a pedicure? Obviously, this is not a healthy relationship. You wouldn’t want this for your kids. So why do you talk to yourself that way?
You are a limited resource. I’m getting real on the podcast and I hope this is the wake up you need to actually change your mind and be kind to yourself.
I love you, and I want you to live authentically, connect with your kids, and reach your goals.
If you’ve never experienced coaching before, I want to offer you a complimentary mini-session to see how it feels. It’s pretty amazing, actually 🙂

Setting Healthy Goals
How many times have you said, “This is it, I’m doing it, I’m going to lose weight!”
The first couple of days, you were gung ho and ready to work, but it was tough. The next few days were a grind, but you were determined- and it got tougher. By the end of the week the world was falling apart, nothing was working, everything was a huge struggle and then the brownie buffet came calling. Ever been there?
You’re not alone. It is possible to lose weight and live healthier, you just need the right support and better mindset. My special guest, Jacqueline, will explain how she is overcoming the struggles of changing her eating and lifestyle habits. Hear real life examples that will encourage you to live the life you really want!
I help clients overcome what’s holding them back to reach their goals.

Running a Home Business?
Whether you’re running a side hustle or a full time business, you might be treating it too much like a hobby to get the results you want. Not having a boss leaning over your shoulder means you can talk yourself into naps, social media spirals, and “working” lunches that are really just an excuse to visit friends. You know I’m right! I’m sharing what I learned the hard way, so you can maximize your time and be the boss of you!

Racism: A Family Conversation (Part3) Anthonia Ogundele
Difficult conversations are tough. Join mine. I interviewed my sister-in-law about her experiences as a Black woman and mother. I learned about some of my blind spots. I’m so grateful for her willingness to share her heart when, truthfully, words probably fall flat. I deeply regret that it took me this long to ask these questions, but Anthonia doesn’t want people to feel sorry- she wants us to feel angry for a system that works against her, her daughter and every person of colour. Join me as my family leans in to honest vulnerability.

Episode 34:
Sibling Rivarly
Reduce conflict immediately! If you will apply this one simple practice in your home, I guarantee you’ll reduce the frequency and frustration of conflict and sibling rivalry. Set aside less than an hour a week to do this activity with your kids.
The One on One is the most powerful activity you can do with your family.
I’ve coached great parents who absolutely love their kids- and yet those same kids believe their parents don’t love them equally.
Children often feel like they don’t measure up in their families. Whether it’s that another sibling is getting more attention (good or bad), or that they themselves are the problem child, kids create hierarchy’s and work to fight their way to the top. Their insecurities create hostile environments and siblings either push to prove their value, or seek revenge against the assumed favourite.
But many parents will say I already do this and it doesn’t make a difference!
But you’re not really affirming their whole selves.
If this is you, listen to the podcast today.

Niki shares compassion and healing. If you are struggling right now it can be hard, but getting help is possible. There is hope! If you know somebody stuck in the trenches, we want to help you be that person who will jump in the ditch to help.
One of my biggest dreams is building a community of women who will support and cheer each other on! If life is going great, we need you to share your joy, and if life is super sucky right now we need you to come out and be encouraged with a night of hope.
Resources:
- Write out some notes thanking and encouraging the people that have been with you in the trenches- they may not even know they’ve been your person. Often those support people struggle with not knowing what to do or say, so a note acknowledging that they actually helped you goes a long way.

Is it Just a Phase?
Raising kids is really hard! If you’ve ever wondered if you’re ruining your children, you’re not alone. What used to work isn’t anymore, and maybe it’s even hurting your kids. You can feel them emotionally slipping away…what can you do!?
This episode we get to hear from an unbiased outsider who has seen it all!
Whether you have preschoolers or teens, you’ll get practical tips on what to expect at each stage in order to reach your child’s heart. Grab a notepad and get ready to learn from the best.
Jori Stockdale is an expert in helping families through stages of development. In this podcast you’ll learn how to reach the heart of your child specifically related to their stage of development:
What are the questions our kids are asking at each stage of development?
What are the pitfalls we need to avoid?
What do they need from us?
No matter how old your kids are, there’s something for you and it’s never too late.
5 Stages of Development:
- Preschool
- Elementary
- Middle Years
- High School
- After High School
Parents, whether you’re playing Fortnight or Candyland (the worst game EVER) for the millionth time, remember you’re building up your relational foundation. When they’re in high school or beyond you’ll have equity you can use to speak into their life. So get on the floor with those little humans, watch youtube videos with your middles, take up an interest in their passions and it will absolutely pay off!

selfless
Want to change the world? No, seriously, what if you had a crazy idea to make a movie that would inspire youth to look at themselves differently, but you had literally no idea how to make it happen.

Being Present
I get to interview my great friend Julie Allan, who teaches a parenting program called ‘Circle of Security’. Julie has this way of presenting hard truths in a way that you feel inspired to look at yourself, and your children, differently. After our conversation we hope you’ll be able to give yourself a little more grace.
Circle of Security is all about finding the courage to be fully present for your children. We aren’t perfect, but we need to be bigger than our kids problems so that they can rely on us to meet their needs. Whether it’s that extra hug when we’re triggered, or discipline when we feel severely under-qualified, our kids need to know that we are bigger, stronger, wiser and kind. Learn more or register for her next class by emailing Julie at dwajulallan@gmail.com
Here is the video about shark music that we reference in the podcast. Notice how our own perceptions, and triggers, make all the difference? What is your shark music? Next time you feel yourself reacting unreasonably, ask yourself if there’s shark music playing for no reason. Perhaps you’re reacting to something in your own past, and often just seeing that is enough to talk us off the ledge of despair.
