20 Mar 2023S06|06 - Possibilities, Believe Something New00:23:58

“We are told from childhood onward that everything we want to do is impossible”- Paulo Coelho, The Alchemist. 

Our beliefs around what is “possible” for us and our kids come from our past, our old beliefs, what we’ve seen happen before and, transferred beliefs we’ve taken from people/society around us. Unless we intentionally look at these, question them and choose to believe something new… nothing will change. Are you on this journey too? Possibility is magic. Magic can bring healing to us and to the world. Believe something new.

On the episode today:

  • Believing something new is what creates any forward momentum and change
  • How we define what is possible for us and our lives
  • Deconstructing layers of conditioning around “possibilities” for us and our future
  • Innovation, Creativity and Growth come from believing something new, that hasn’t been thought possible before

17 Feb 2025S10|06 - Trust Your Kids00:24:36

If I were to write a parenting book THIS would be my thesis. It’s one thing I find missing in the parenting sphere… what if we trusted our kids more? Why don’t we? What was our childhood around trusting ourselves, our body, our wisdom… and how is that playing out in our own parenting? Join me today in this workshop-style episode, where we’ll really get to the root of distrust, and learn why it’s integral for a wholesome childhood. 

In today’s episode: 

  • I announce that The Parenting Coach Podcast, after 200+ episodes and over 100,000 downloads is retiring (and why) 
  • We dig into trust in our own childhood, and what beliefs we might still be storing in our mind that block us from trusting our kids 
  • Trust energy is much more than actions or words, and our children FEEL it 
  • Our role in parenting, and what we can do to foster a healthy environment for our child-plant to grow.

22 Jan 2024S08|02 - Intuitive Goals Masterclass + Future-Self Audio Meditation00:40:50

If you're anything like me... you LOVE to achieve. Get gold stars and straight A's. Write down long and difficult to-do lists and feel a little jolt of satisfaction every time you cross another thing off that list. The problem with this is that we feel SUPER good when we achieve but really bad if we don’t. I would set myself some wildly impossible goals, and only allow myself to celebrate (aka feel good about myself) once I got there, but not until then. This wasn't happening consciously for me- but in the background of my brain. 

I was tying my SELF-WORTH to PRODUCTIVITY. Allowing myself love, support, and connection (from me) only IF I did "good" (worked towards my goal in the way I had previously decided). There wasn't much room for flexibility- just commitment, determination, and self-control... which looked a lot like "perfection" (and felt kind of terrible too). 

I was completely shocked when I started learning about things like FEMININE ENERGY, and INTUITION... and that resting, playing, and spending more time in my most important relationships helped me create my goals without the headache (and less time). Join me in this important mini-masterclass and meditation. I hope it brings you some hope and healing- and if you love it- join us in The Creation Room.

Check out the CREATION ROOM HERE: create and achieve intuitive goals through learning more about feminine flow, self-trust, rest and leaning into manifestation and joy.

A decluttered space can declutter the mind… and vice versa. That is where I found myself 6 years ago… deep in the throes of parenting, late nights, diapers and laundry.

When we’re triggered by our kids and trying to keep our cool… more is going on in our unconscious mind than what we are aware of. When we have the tools to work through what’s going on under the surface, we can more easily show up as the shame-free parents that we want to be (and wish we had).

02 Jan 2023S05|25 - Before + After Parenting Coaching: Camille’s Journey Through Parent School00:28:35

Parenting Coaching is SO much more than just a conversation. It’s SO much more than a how-to guide, quick scripts or advice. It’s deep. It’s healing. It’s transformative… in every area of your life. Sharing our stories is powerful, and I’m elated to bring you a deep and special story of parenting change today, from my client Camille.

On the podcast today:

  • My client Camille shares where she was at before parenting coaching and how we found each other
  • Her goal of having deep and connected relationships with her kids and how she reached it
  • How Camille listened to THIS podcast and thought “that could be my story too” and jumped right into coaching
  • What has changed for her throughout coaching, and what her parenting is like now (emotional regulation is KEY in this story)
  • The importance of validating our children’s emotions, and being their safe space on their worst days
  • “Relationship matters most” and “my kids are doing their best”- how to use these mantras to change your relationship with your kids

---

Coaching has changed my own life, and the lives of my clients. More connection, more healing, more harmony, and peace in our most important relationships. It increases confidence in any parenting challenges and helps you be the guide to teach your children the family values that are important to you- in clear ways.

23 Dec 2024S09|20 - Help for the Holidays: Anxiety and Other Big Emotions00:35:04

The Holidays can be hard. In past years I’ve dealt with intense soap-opera-esque family drama (we would have made a great reality TV show years ago). I wish I had the tools and awareness back then that I have now, but everything came in the timing it needed to. So, if you’ve stumbled across this podcast, maybe this is the timing that these ideas needed to come to you too. 

Links I mention in this episode: Moving through Frustration Meditation HERE, Intuitive Journaling HERE, Group Intuitive Coaching for 2025 HERE, 1:1 Coaching in The Miracle Year HERE. Other podcast episodes HERE

In this episode: 

  • Emotional regulation is feeling safe to feel any emotion in your body (not avoiding, resisting or acting out). 
  • Helping others through uncomfortable emotions by increasing your capacity for feelings
  • Emotions are messages that are trying to be seen and heard: tools for listening through words and listening through the body.

11 Sep 2023S07|06 - Empowering Teens: Preventing Pornography Use and Promoting Healthy Screen Habits with Dr. Finlayson-Fife00:38:54

Today I interview Dr. Finlayson-Fife as she shares several valuable insights and strategies around raising tech-savvy and well-balanced teens. We delve into the important (and sometimes tricky) topic of pornography prevention in teens and fostering healthy screen habits (for ourselves and for our kids). Join us as we discuss effective approaches to guide your teens toward a more responsible relationship with their digital consumption. 

Tune into this conversation with Dr. Jennifer Finlayson-Fife and me. She is an LDS relationship and sexuality coach with a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology. Her teaching and coaching focus on helping LDS individuals and couples achieve greater satisfaction and passion in their emotional and sexual relationships.

In this episode you will:

  • Understand the impact of pornography, social media and screen use on the developing brain, future relationships and self-esteem
  • Better understand the importance of open and honest communication where we create a safe space to have sexual discussions and teaching, even if your childhood home was very different than the atmosphere you are trying to create now
  • Understand the importance of balancing boundaries and education without leaning too far into the fear and shame that can so often accompany these conversations
  • How to discuss healthy sexuality in a shame-free and sex-positive way by starting with unpacking your own beliefs about sexuality

Connect with Jennifer:

In addition to her private practice, Dr. Finlayson-Fife has created five empowering and highly-reviewed online courses. Each course was designed to give LDS individuals and couples the tools requisite to creating healthier lives and stronger intimate relationships. Dr. Finlayson-Fife also offers many workshops and retreats where she teaches these life-changing principles in person.

Dr. Finlayson-Fife is a frequent guest on LDS-themed podcasts on the subjects of sexuality, relationships, mental health, and faith. She is also the creator and host of Room for Two, a popular sex and intimacy coaching podcast.

18 Jul 2022S05|01 - A Minimalist Life: Stillness, Simplicity and Intuition00:23:14

I’m back from a lovely 6-week break from IG and the podcast… and I’ve learned some things along the way that I feel called to share with you. I spent much-needed time resting, pausing, being still, connecting and spending time outdoors. Doing this taught me a lot about my own self-worth, how to be more intentional in my be-ing and my do-ing, and why it’s kind of amazing to do less.

What we chat about today:

  • Minimalism in our life, parenting and schedule
  • Simplicity in life comes from stillness, pause and rest
  • Self-worth tied to productivity
  • Sneaky expectations in parenting
  • Tuning in to our parental intuition

Isn’t that we all want deep down? That is my goal for me, and for you… and for the future generation for children we are raising. To be seen. To be heard. To be valued. To feel loved.

  • shame resiliency: how to feel shame and move through it, what triggers us and why, and how to move through heaviness and use it for growth. 
  • emotional regulation: what co-regulation is and how to support our children from our energy- not our words (not scripts and mantras, this work is much deeper than that), how to support ourselves and our kids through big emotions.
  • the power of our thoughts and beliefs: how to separate who we are from what we think, how to create the exact relationship we want through the power of our mind 
  • connection-based parenting: why it’s the way of the future, how to parent in a relationship-first manner, developing deep and lasting connections that last a lifetime.

05 Jun 2023S06|17 - Faith-Based Parenting00:29:10

Conscious parenting comes from our own inner healing, NOT from changing our kids, or focusing on their behaviours. Conscious means being intentional and aware. When I started on my own healing journey, I noticed that my children’s behaviour changed hugely… like it was mirroring my own healing journey. What I haven’t talked about until today is how much this change came from my shifting relationship with God… how I viewed God and how I viewed myself as well. Everything is interconnected and we dive into it in this episode.

In today’s episode:

  • How my parenting shifted as I turned inwards (and how their meltdowns decreased, and behaviour improved as I stopped trying to change them)
  • Tapping into the Truth that is already inside of you
  • How the growth within myself and my children also mirrored my growth and change in my relationship with the Divine
  • How everything is connected: God, parenting, us and our kids… and where to start the change
  • My brand-NEW program to guide you through this change as well (click HERE for more info)

06 Mar 2023S06|04 - When Parenting is Hard00:23:45

“If the pain was deep
you will have to let it go
many times”
-Yung Pueblo

Parenting can be really challenging at times… even when we are working so hard at it. This episode is for those times. When we feel the heaviness of parenting… when we feel a little bit in the dark (Sue Monk Kidd calls is the Holy Dark), when we feel like the world is spinning. THIS episode is my message to you. I hope it brings you the comfort and guidance you are seeking.

NOTE: if you have suicidal thoughts or need mental health help, please reach out to a medical doctor and someone you love, as this advice is not meant to be a replacement for that.

On today’s show:

  • 3 stories from my life when parenting was hard, and what that looked like
  • my current/ongoing challenges in parenting and how I deal with them
  • uncovering your triggers (learn more about this HERE)
  • using the 2 keys of self-regulation and self-compassion (it may sound simple, but it’s much harder to do… I get teary over here)

27 Jan 2025S10|03 - Moving Through Grief — A Somatic Experience00:47:53

This fun episode is an interview with me! I get asked all the questions you might ask me too… what has your journey been like? How did you get where you are now? What do you do and how does it help people? You’ll hear me help my friend and fellow coach, Sarah Bond, process through grief in a different way than you’ve likely heard before. Let’s dig in! 

What we chat about today: 

  • Why I don’t coach the same way that I used to, and what I found that has been more effective for me 
  • Why emotions need to be processed in the body, and not in the mind
  • We move through an inner child/somatic practice to help with grief… and it takes us in an expected, but beautiful direction. 
  • Choosing from abundance, instead of lack, to find your next area of growth… “healing is remembering”

How I shifted from wanting my kiddos to change (which was NOT happening), and not being able to handle the extreme emotions and behaviours that my kids were throwing at me… to parenting calm, confident kids that I love to be around. It feels like a miracle. A miracle that has changed my parenting, my kids and my whole life… and is now my purpose in the world to spread and share.

With a unique combination of somatic work, mindset, shame resiliency and emotions, through a lens of connection-based parenting, you too can have this same story.

24 May 2021S02|02 - Parenting Hack #100:15:22

Have you ever thought about scientists and their process? I think it’s a lot like what we do in parenting. Hypothesize, test, observe, test again, change things, fail. I think scientists can teach us a lot about parenting. Failure is at the core of what a scientist does… but instead of feeling shame and discouragement, they use it to learn, grow and create new ideas to test. We can become the parent scientist and transform our frustrations and expectations into curiosity and connection. Let’s figure out how.

What we talk about in this episode:

  • What scientists do
  • The importance of observation
  • How we can become parenting scientists
  • How to develop our own theorems about our children

If you’re looking for support in helping you show up as the parent you’ve always dreamed of- this episode is for you.

Tune into this unique conversation, and join the last round of Parent School live HERE.

In this interview: 

  • you’ll hear my past story in a nutshell and what drove me to become a coach in the first place
  • what re-parenting is and how why we can be blocked from productive and compassionate parenting 
  • shame, guilt, and failure- how it’s all entwined and what to do about it 
  • what to do during meltdowns, tantrums, and big emotions (in teens, in toddlers and in us) 
  • We dig into the question “is it okay for our kids to see our big emotions (anger, tears and sadness)”? 
  • Why we seek external validation for our own enough-ness, and how to fill ourselves first, to help our parenting 
  • Support for you and your kids big feelings can be found by downloading the feelings wheel HERE.

Whether you struggle with teens, big emotions, managing screen-time, curbing your yelling or reactions, sibling rivalry, supporting neurodiversity, or anything else that comes in parenting- YOU are your own parenting expert. 

Together we will uncover anything blocking you from your unique path- your journey in parenting and in life. Join me in Parent School. Discover your own unique path, with confidence… raising emotionally intelligent children that leave your home knowing that you truly, deeply care for them… that you always have, and you always will.

To feel supported. To feel known. To welcome them to be themselves- fully and completely. That is The Work. I am here for it. Welcome.

  • shame resiliency: how to feel shame and move through it, what triggers us and why, and how to move through heaviness and use it for growth. 
  • emotional regulation: what co-regulation is and how to support our children from our energy- not our words (not scripts and mantras, this work is much deeper than that), how to support ourselves and our kids through big emotions.

15 Mar 2021S01|02 - The Shift00:11:54

Parenting my child and his difficult behaviours just kept getting worse and worse until I felt like I couldn’t handle it anymore and finally reached out for help. The changes our family experienced were very profound, and I never expected what I was going to have to do to get them. This is the starting point to one of the biggest revelations in parenting I’ve ever had. The core of what we did and why we got the results we did influences everything I do in my coaching practice. The change in my son’s behaviour didn’t come quickly; but it did come, and as I look back at it and what we went through I am amazed at how much progress we made after just that one session and the book she recommended.

In this episode of The Freedom Moms Podcast we cover:

  • What a meltdown looked like in our home
  • What my story about the situation was
  • Why it’s not him that needed to change
  • How shifting my expectations changed everything for us both

12 Aug 2024S09|01 - Somatic Practices to Move Through Emotions00:35:03

Emotions are messages, and we aren’t often open to listening to them- they feel too big, too much, or never ending. in the process of ignoring and suppressing these messages from our body, we may feel tension, pain, discomfort, illness or disease. In this episode we go over hypnotic visualizations, somatic practices and inner child work to help us allow, accept and welcome all big emotions. It is in the welcoming of them, that they lessen and open us up to experience life in a fuller way and help others with their emotions too. 

In this episode: 

  • Welcome back and thanks for listening! I can’t wait for this season… it’s going to be rad! 
  • You can work with me in at my inner child healing retreat HERE, 1:1 coaching HERE or join the Creation Room (only open throughout the month of August) HERE
  • What beliefs we have about emotions that came from our own childhood, and how our subconscious can hold on to them 
  • Emotions as messages from our brain to our body, and how to listen to them 
  • Inner child exercises, somatic practises and hypnosis to move through big emotions (and why that, in turn, helps us co-regulate with others)
  • If you’re wanting to become a more calm, confident parent, and parent your kids in the way that you wished you were parented- Join the waitlist for Parent School HERE!

07 Aug 2023S07|01 - Mindset-Driven Parenting00:38:17

5 years ago, I found myself with a door slammed in my face and a child screaming at me on the other side. Big emotions, big reactions, and not knowing how to respond to all of this “big-ness”. Shifts were slow and happened over time… and it all started with this: MINDSET. I didn’t realize how the way that I was thinking about myself, my parenting and my child was creating the current relationship I had with them- and keeping us stuck in this habitual thinking/feeling/doing pattern that I couldn’t seem to change. Mindset changed it all. Fast-forward 6 years and I have a LOT more stories about how mindset has changed things- resentment in my marriage, my kiddos dealing with anxiety and teens endlessly watching YouTube. It’s one of the quickest and simplest ways to change things in your life, and your kids. 

In this episode you’ll hear: 

  • A little glimpse into my life 6 years ago attempting to parent a neurodiverse child with connection and love, but not being able to actually DO it
  • How mindset entered my journey “after the fact”, and how it changed so much in our relationship (he changed too!)
  • Everything is created in consciousness first- how our mindset shapes our reality
  • Mindset and parenting around teens YouTube/screen use and anxiety in kids
  • How mindset healed my resentment in marriage and how everything has changed since then
  • Thought Dumps daily can help you access your thinking, gain awareness throughout the day and increase your response time during tough challenges that come up during the day

17 May 2021S02|01 - Natural Parenting00:18:13

Have you ever heard of what “radical” actually means? It might not be what you think! Let’s uncover its basic meaning and how it relates to our natural parenting styles. Once we can unpack our own emotional and mindset baggage, connection is at our core. As humans, we are naturally wired for connection. As we age, limiting beliefs, others opinions, and situations around us arise that cloud our natural connection and inclination to parent in a positive way. Just like this thinking clouded us, it can be unclouded as well, let’s figure out where to start.

What we cover in this episode:

  • How natural this form of parenting is
  • Client examples of natural parenting despite lack of “knowledge”
  • How you are your own parenting expert already
  • Digging through the emotional and mental baggage is what uncovers this inner expert

We have spent the last couple of years living in several different locations and loving life but have always wanted to travel internationally with our family of 6… and we’re finally doing it!

Tune into this week’s adventure as I talk all about the last few years of semi-nomadic life, what got us started, and how we are *trying* to travel at around the same price as life would be back home. 

On this episode: 

  • My travel origin story and the launch of my first ever TRAVEL BLOG
  • 2017 is the year that everything started to shift for us, how we got started
  • Travelling the world with our 4 kids, and how we are attempting to do it on a budget

15 Mar 2021S01|01 - The Beginning00:15:47

Hi! I’m a Canadian homeschooling mom of 4 and Parent Coach. Parenting is a tough gig, from diapers, sleepless nights to teen hormones and backtalking, I have been through it too and know first hand there isn’t a instruction manual you get when you become a mom. I wasn’t prepared for motherhood and I’m guessing you weren’t either.

Come listen to my story as we dig into my struggles as a mom of a neurodivergent kiddo and the growth we’ve gone through together. I love positive parenting and the more I learnt about connection-based parenting, the more I felt like I was failing my kids every day. But not anymore! In this season I am going to share my story, what I did that completely changed my life and my family forever.

This episode of The Freedom Moms Podcast digs into:

  • Getting to know me and who I am
  • What parenting was like for me amidst my difficulties
  • The peak of my parenting struggles and moving across the country
  • How when you “know better” you don’t always “do better”

23 May 2022S04|13 - Connection in Parenting00:22:51

Connection is THE most powerful tool in our parenting toolbox. Traditional parenting tactics look like spanking, grounding, and time-outs. You’ll notice with traditional methods that over time, they don’t really seem to work- in fact, they make things worse. Connection works long-term and creates the kind of relationship that you want to have with your kids.

In today’s episode:

  • The real problem with rewards and punishments (and what they teach)
  • How to use connection as teaching tool with our kids
  • How to connect to US first- so we can connect with THEM with ease
  • Connection and the model, where does it fit?

23 Sep 2024S09|07 - Breathing Belief into our Kids pt 2: Manifestation in Parenting00:31:07

Our beliefs about our kids matter, and we can be one of the greatest influences of their lives. Intentional parenting can set us up to help support our kids through any challenge and instill them with beliefs that will help them achieve true success (not just the type of success that we’re socialized to believe matters most). 

In this episode: 

  • Dropping my oldest off at college and all the mixed emotions (and how it brought up this topic over the weekend)
  • What manifestation has to do with parenting (and the spiritual principles of it)
  • What you value most and how to instill those values into your kids through manifestation
  • How to find out if shame is blocking belief work (in any area of your life, but I share a parenting example that you’ll likely relate to).
  • Join my $5 live coaching event HERE and I will do more than teach you these principles, I’ll SHOW you, and we’ll get there together (live on zoom, and recordings sent out to you…. Bring a friend!)

New shame-free parenting coaching program coming up for parents of elementary-aged kids… get on the waitlist HERE for more information.

11 Dec 2023S07|19 - Emotional Regulation Tips when Travelling with Kids00:24:36

AKA The episode where I show you how NOT to freak out when your kids freak out while travelling (which is pretty much inevitable at some point on your journey). Our family is off on a crazy school-year-long adventure of world travel. Travel has always been a big part of our life and journey… but we are now taking it to the NEXT level. We have spent the last couple of years living in several different locations and loving life but have always wanted to travel internationally with our family of 6… and we’re finally doing it!

In this week’s episode we’ll dig into the ins and outs of the travel life, and what we can do to help ourselves be more regulated, grounded and centered as we travel with kids (especially if we’re wordschooling or a full-time travelling family), and this can help our kids also. 

NEW TRAVEL BLOG: HERE
Custom feelings wheel: www.coachcrystal.ca/wheel

What I talk about in this episode: 

  • The ups and downs of travel for us in the first 6 weeks
  • How I found myself really irritated while we travelled (way more than the norm), and what I did to help improve my mood
  • Prediction error and lack of control adding to my frustration
  • How a morning practice can change everything (especially when you add thought-work journaling in… check out THIS if you want help getting started)
  • What to do when you feel out of sorts, and how to build a sense of community and safety for yourself and your family as you travel

16 May 2022S04|12 - What Authoritarian Parenting Looks Like 20 Years Later00:28:12

If you were disciplined through more coercive measures- spanking, time-outs, grounding, bribing or threats… you may have felt like you turned out just fine. What does fine actually look like though? How is this affecting your current parenting and your current self? Let’s dig into what FINE looks like and learn about what “inner healing” really means.

In today’s episode:

  • How our childhood affects our parenting now
  • What the FAWN trauma/alarm response is
  • How we internalize our failures and mistakes as parents and people
  • Why living an inauthentic life leads to burn-out
  • Why we’re so emotionally reactive and what to do about it

21 Aug 2023S07|03 - God, Me and Parenting00:30:47

My past relationship with God was full of subconscious beliefs that actually kept me separated from Him, His goodness and His light. Shame, fear and control crept into my parenting, without me even knowing it (and definitely without me wanting it). I was stuck in the same patterns of generational parenting that had been passed down to me- and had no idea how much of a difference changing my relationship with God would heal this. Healed, loved, aligned and full of light (aka a more regulated nervous system, time for rest and stillness, and listening to my own desires and ideas more)- my life and my parenting is completely different. 

In this episode you’ll hear: 

  • How my childhood changed my views of God and I didn’t even notice
  • Spreading shame, fear and control in subconscious ways through how we relate to God
  • What my relationship with God used to look and sound like, and what it looks like now
  • Research studies done on how we learn about God, and how it affects us
  • Changing our relationship with our kids through subconscious work
  • Emotionally healing IS God-work

02 Sep 2024S09|04 - Recipe for Learning00:16:10

“Children learn best when they like their teacher, and they think their teacher likes them”. What are you trying to teach your children? Do you know how learning happens? Naturally. It comes naturally, with a few specific ingredients, ones that may not seem so necessary, but truly are. 

A Recipe for Learning was first published in the July 2024 monthly bundle of the Wild + Free magazine. 

Today you’ll hear:

  • my story of frustration and tantrums (from both me and my young son) when we first started our homeschooling journey
  • how unlearning about learning was the path to deeper and more natural learning in our homeschool, for me too. 
  • relationships matter most, how learning comes naturally from creating the environment for it to happen 
  • the ingredients to a messy and imperfect relationship, but one that is full of joy, confidence, connection and growth

15 Jan 2024S08|01 - Secure Attachment in Parenting (And Why It’s What the World Needs) with Eli Harwood00:26:40

In this world of breaking old patterns of parenting, and parenting in a more conscious, connected and attachment-based way, you may have noticed that it feels REALLY hard sometimes. Like, almost impossible-type-hard. Parenting, while re-parenting can feel like this. 

In this conversation we will dig into the hard, give some ideas and support, and explain a little more of the “how to’s” when it comes to a connection-focussed relationship with your kids. 

Eli Harwood (Attachment Nerd) is a licensed therapist, author, and educator who has more than 17 years of experience helping people process relational traumas and develop secure attachment relationships with their children and partners. Eli has three children, one husband, one cat, and an extraordinary number of plants. 

Today’s episode covers: 

  • Why parenting in a different way than we were raised feels so hard to do (how to get through the stuck-ness)
  • What it means to have a secure attachment
  • Entitlement and boundaries (how do you know if what you’re doing is working?)
  • How to show compassion and love without being permissive or passive
  • Tool for you to use today: setting up a community of support and focussing on physical needs
  • What a world with securely attached people would look like, and why it would be so amazing

Check out the CREATION ROOM HERE: create and achieve intuitive goals through learning more about feminine flow, self-trust, rest and leaning into manifestation and joy.

28 Jun 2021S02|07 - Building Growth Mindset for Kids00:18:57

Now that we know all about growth and fixed mindsets, how do we foster this in our children? Let’s learn several steps that help us to grow this mindset within them naturally and raise emotionally intelligent children. We all want our children to grow into capable, kind, and caring human beings. We want them to build resilience and know how to handle situations that will arise for them. All of this can be hugely helped when we intentionally work on growing their mindset.

What we dig into in this episode:

  • How to reframe our failures into learning opportunities
  • How to praise them in a way that fosters growth
  • How to help our kids continuously build this mindset
  • How not ALL of these things are needed all the time, but small simple changes over time

15 Nov 2021S03|12 - Creating Connection with our Adult Children with Bonnie Lyman00:30:34

Bonnie Lyman is a mother of five adult children and a certified, faith-based life coach.  She decided to build a business around helping moms who want to stop struggling in their relationships with their adult children after having been heartbroken from various challenges with her own adult children.  She learned how to stop hurting and start living the life she wanted to live through learning what the real cause of her problem was.  She was letting her brain tell her lies.  Once she learned how to manage her thoughts, she found peace in my life.  Everybody talks about how challenging teenagers may be, but nobody ever told us about the transition that takes place from being a parent of young children to being a parent to adult children.  Bonnie now helps moms get past the hurt of this new role in their children’s lives by helping them understand why they are feeling so heartbroken, and how to feel peace in and acceptance of the kind of relationship they are now having with their children. Bonnie coaches people 1:1.

What we discuss in this episode:

  • What struggles come up in the adult parent/child relationship
  • How we are hurting ourselves and our relationships unknowingly
  • What we can do to take back control of our lives and focus on connection, love and support for our kids
  • How to celebrate our adult children’s independence and to love them just the way they are

26 Aug 2024S09|03 - Questioning our Subconscious Beliefs00:28:14

Children should be seen and not heard. Big money makes you evil. Negative emotions should be avoided at all costs. I make others mad, sad or happy with me. I should shove down my ideas and intuition and listen to others that are older, wiser and more experienced than me. 

Don’t believe these anymore? Yup, me neither. But that doesn’t mean that my subconscious isn’t bringing these beliefs along and affecting me and my current reality. 

In this episode we cover: 

  • what beliefs you may still have, that you don’t notice on a conscious level
  • what questions to ask yourself to uncover your deeper beliefs 
  • practices to help you move through and shift beliefs 
  • how growth is stagnant when we stick with resistance, versus being open (switching from “this is not showing up for me” to “how is this showing up for me?”)

29 Apr 2024S08|16 - Parenting Spicy Ones with Mary Van Geffen00:36:59

Do you feel like parenting certain kids seems harder than others? I have a few spicy children and parenting them has been one of the biggest challenges of my life (and also SO rewarding). Join Mary Van Geffen and I as we chat all about spicy ones, both in how to parent them, and how to parent as one. 

In this episode you’ll hear: 

  • Parenting spicy ones can differ from typical parenting struggles, and we talk all about tips to help you parent them in a way that fosters their sparkle.
  • What we can learn from spicy ones (and other difficult relationships).
  • How to NOT get on the same page as your partner, and parent super effectively anyways.
  • How to bring in some FIRM to the “gentle parenting” (and why our kids need it).
  • We also dig into how to help dads who may not “get” connection-based parenting, and how to decide what kind of parent-child relationship we want in the future, and what we can about it now to get there.

Mary Van Geffen is the international parenting coach for moms of Spicy Ones TM️. She helps people who are highly competent in life but overwhelmed by motherhood to lean into the spiritual discipline of staying calm and cultivating warmth and tenderness all while trying to wrangle fiery future CEOs. Often this requires serious skill-building and the balm of self-compassion.

Mary is a certified Simplicity Parenting Counselor® and Professional Co-Active Coach, but her greatest achievement is cultivating a calm, kind and firm relationship with her Spicy go-getter daughter (now 18), mild child son (16) and un-Enneagramable hubby.

17 Jun 2024S08|23 - Growth Mindset, Fixed Mindset, and Toxic Achievement Culture00:25:55

Sometimes the best prize of all isn’t a trophy. In a culture where outcome production and tangible results are celebrated, how do we teach our kids to accept all parts of themselves- mistakes, bumps in the road, big emotions, and all? Join this conversation with Chasta Hamilton and me, as we discuss this topic and her new children’s book “The Trophy Trap”. 

Orphaned as a child, Chasta found comfort in the creativity, play, and catharsis of the performing arts. This led to a life as an arts entrepreneur, where she believes that everyone has the power to reach their fullest potential and disrupt the status quo in an empowering and inspiring way. She’s a founder and CEO as well as a bestselling author (Trash the Trophies and Handle the Horrible) and speaker (TEDx: “You Weren’t Built to Break”). 

Today you’ll hear: 

  • How we often teach growth mindset (and other socioemotional skills) in performative and ineffective ways, and how we can change things.
  • Less talk about the “outcome” and more about the process (ie. Allowing failure and discussing it, without the shame). 
  • How to create a culture of leaders and changemakers through allowing more vulnerability, authenticity, and celebrating of our children’s inner voice. 
  • Growing self-awareness in our kids (and letting the next generation of youth change the world for the better).

27 Nov 2023S07|17 - Creating Healthy Teen Brains: Tech, Phones and Social Media with Kaylee Low00:37:46

With so much research out there around tech and teens, how do you decipher what to listen to? And how do you make healthy choices for your family, and teach your kids screen regulation in fear-free ways? Join Kaylee and I on the podcast this week as we converse all about what the research is saying and how not to get bogged down by all the information but to use it to empower yourself and your children. 

Kaylee is an imperfect Mom striving to parent with intention. With a background in nursing, she has always loved learning about the human mind and body. As a new Mom, her study shifted to parenting strategies and child development. With four school aged kids, Kaylee’s most recent focus has been on the effects of screens and technology on children and families. After a ten-year break from social media, she now spends some of her free time sharing information about this topic. Her hope is to spread more awareness in her community about the potential dangers of societal digitization– and resources and ideas for parenting with technology in a healthy way.

In this episode: 

  • Kaylee’s story about cellphones and kids as her son started asking for a cellphone in middle school
  • What current research shows about kids, tech and social media and what is happening in their brains
  • How to make healthy and fear-free boundaries around tech and kids, and not get overwhelmed by all the information and research out there
  • Taking small steps to change things in your home

It can be challenging to keep our cool when our children lose theirs. We may shut down, withdraw, or react, when what we really desire to do is teach and model. Tune in today as we talk about the gift of co-regulation that we can give to our children, and what may be holding us back from using it.

If you’re ready to take your journey to the next level and integrate this work in your own life, join us as we start Parent School (starting August 15th), a small and intimate group program designed to increase the confidence you have in your parenting tools, simplify your parenting and help you tap into your own inner magic.

28 Nov 2022S05|20 - How to Talk to Your Kids About Sex with Amy Lang00:31:46

WARNING: this episode may not be suitable for young listeners. We talk openly about sexual content.

Talking to your kids about the birds & bees can be really uncomfortable. And most people dread the idea of having “THE TALK”… but it doesn’t have to be this way!

My guest, Amy Lang had been a sex educator for over 16 years when she freaked out about talking to her young son about her favorite topic.

Surprised by her discomfort with just the idea of talking with her young son about his body, she knew she needed help. Amy did a bunch of research to learn how to talk with kids about bodies and sexuality and realized she could help other parents with this important part of parenting. 

Amy combined her expertise in adult education and her love of sexual health and started Birds & Bees & Kids in 2006. Her mission is to help parents feel comfortable and confident when they have these important conversations.

Through her books, classes, online solutions center, and podcast Amy has helped 1000’s of parents around the world become their kids’ go-to birds and bees source.

In this episode you’ll learn:

  • What age to start talking to your little kids about sex
  • Why it’s so important to regularly talk to your kids throughout childhood about sex
  • How to get over the initial awkwardness and what types of things should be included in conversations around sexuality
  • How to teach your family values while teaching sexuality
  • Where to start in sex conversations, if these talks haven’t been part of your family culture so far (and why it’s an important responsibility of parenthood)

10 Apr 2023S06|09 - De-stigmatizing Neurodivergence (creating inclusion and changing our world)00:22:10

Neurodivergent kids (and people) are often looked as “outside the norm” and often treated in behaviourist ways to “change them” or modify their behaviours to be more in the “norm”. We do this because we think the neurotypical way of thinking and being is SO much better. I think we’re wrong about this. As we think more outside the box, and create a more inclusive world… we’ll drive innovation, growth and peace. Let’s stop trying to TEACH (change) each other… and instead, learn FROM each other.

In today’s episode you’ll hear:

  • Neurodiversity, neurodivergent and neurocontrast defined
  • Experiences I’ve had with my ND kids that have opened up my eyes to more inclusive ways of thinking and being- and more freedom in my own life
  • How innovation is driven by, and only exists thanks to, neurodiversity
  • Making our churches, schools, communities and homes safe and inclusive spaces for ND humans

06 Dec 2021S03|15 - Body Positivity and its Relationship with Our Daughters00:35:16

Catie is a mom of 4 kids in 5 years. After her 3rd baby she really struggled with her weight. She got to a point where she really didn’t recognize herself anymore. She didn’t know who she was or what she was doing. She felt like she had lost her purpose. Now after having her 4th baby, and especially since she has two daughters, she wants to change the narrative when it comes to moms and how we view and talk to ourselves. It’s so easy to lose ourselves in the motherhood role. We had an identity before being a mom and she help moms rediscover who they are and helps them feel confident in themselves inside and out. 

In our conversation, you’ll hear:

  • Catie’s journey and struggles with body positivity
  • The importance of modelling healthy body image to our daughters
  • How to love ourselves, no matter what
  • The power of speaking truth to your body + standing naked in front of a mirror

04 Nov 2024S09|13 - The Whole-Brain Child, Emotions and Parenting with Dr Dan Siegel00:52:22

Using research and knowledge about the brain, we can not only help parent our kids better, but help our kids develop their brains in ways that will benefit themselves, their future relationships and the world. 

Today you will hear my conversation with Dr Dan Siegel, who is the executive director of the Mindsight Institute and founding co-director of the Mindful Awareness Research Center at UCLA. An award-winning educator, Dan is the author of five New York Times bestsellers and over fifteen other books which have been translated into over forty languages. He was trained in attachment research and narrative analysis, focusing on how relationships shape our autobiographical ways of making sense of our lives and influence our development across the lifespan. 

Learn more about Dr. Siegel HERE and HERE and find his books HERE

In this episode we cover: 

  • The difference between the left and right brain, and how to parent effectively using knowledge about our kids’ brains 
  • How to help our kids develop their upstairs brain, and know how to move them back upstairs when needed
  • Dr Siegel’s hand model of the brain to help us remember the different parts of our brains (this will be helpful in all relationships, not just parenting) 
  • Mirror neurons and body language, how to separate between our own emotions, and the emotions we may be taking on from others 
  • Why teens and tweens need to push back against the norm (and resources and books to help in parenting teens and tweens)

05 Jul 2021S02|08 - What to DO During a Tantrum00:15:26

Lots of blogs/experts will tell you what NOT to do during a tantrum… but what do you actually DO? Sit there? Phone a friend? Close your eyes really tight and pretend it’s not happening? Let’s figure out what we CAN DO to help during these times. We all know that frustration and anger just escalate the situation, but it can be tough not to move into that energy. Even when we don’t let our temperature rise, it’s a struggle to know what to do that will help. Every child is different, every situation is different, but there are some basic things that in all situations, regardless of the differences, and that’s what we’ll learn about today.

What we get into:

  • How we won’t always respond perfectly and what to do when we don’t
  • How to hold space in those moments of chaos
  • Releasing our expectations and judgements

21 Jun 2021S02|06 - Building a Growth Mindset00:15:01

This is more than just a hot button word, it’s a new way of being. Growth mindset doesn’t happen overnight, but it can be fostered. Join me as we dig into what it is and how to shift it. Mindset is something we talk about allll of the time, as Life Coaches… but growth and fixed mindset are common terms to hear in schools, workplaces and everywhere else now. It’s easier to define and discuss these mindsets than it is to change them, but change is possible, tune in to figure out how.

What we cover in this episode:

  • What a growth mindset is and how it varies from fixed mindset
  • How we can determine to change our mindset and what we can do to change it over time
  • What learning and unlearning happens so that we can role model this mindset for our kids

Amy has a passion for supporting those on the front lines with teens. During her time as a middle school teacher, Amy was featured in The Washington Post and Kiplinger’s Personal Finance Magazine and served as a teacher-leader for Congresslink.org. She provides fresh ideas, strategies and resources for middle school parents and teachers.

  • Generous listening and how it differs from active listening
  • Creating open communication with our teens

19 Jul 2021S02|10 - How to Get Your Kids to Listen00:16:39

We often think that the only way to get our kids to listen is to use threats, bribes or punishments. Those actually decrease natural obedience over time. There is another way to do it, tune in to find out how. Yelling, threats and bribes really do seem to work in a pinch- kids typically respond and listen. Over time though, you may have noticed that you have to up the ante: yell more, bribe more, bigger threats. You may also feel a nagging feeling that this isn’t helping your relationship with your kids, that there is a better way, but you’re just not sure how. This episode gets into all of that.

In this episode:

  • What discipline really means
  • Why rewards and punishments do more harm than good
  • How to get our kids to listen naturally, through connection

12 Jun 2023S06|18 - Gentle Parenting and Weight-loss with Laura Conley00:34:24

What do gentle parenting and permanent weight loss have to do with each other? More than you’d think! Weight-loss is the by-product of self-love and true discipline (not what you might think discipline is). Through this process of simplifying, listening to my body more, learning and loving my body more… I’ve lost weight SO much easier and simpler than before, in a sustainable and permanent way. Dropping diet culture, shame, and the focus on “skinny” and leaning into LOVE, connection and relationship with ME. My friend Laura Conley joins us for this conversation and shares her story and insights with us. 

Laura Conley is a Certified Life + Weight Loss Coach. Laura helps mamas who have been painfully struggling with diet drama (who have tried EVERYTHING) to lose weight for the last time and free themselves from food forever. She is on a maniacal mission to do this so that her clients can pass down a beautiful legacy to their children around food and bodies, weigh what they want, and live the life they have always dreamed of without the weight in the way. She does this through coaching her clients on how to balance their hunger hormones, rewire their brains, handle emotions, accountability and becoming their own bestie.

What we talk about: 

  • what the diet culture/industry has wrong
  • why beating yourself up doesn’t actually work
  • teaching our own kids to love their own body’s and accept themselves
  • the role of acceptance, love and discipline in both parenting and weight loss

03 Jun 2024S08|21 - Suicide Prevention00:21:32

Suicide has deeply impacted my family circle over the years, as it has so many of you around the world. Today I share some ways we can work on preventing suicide in our homes and communities though talking more openly about mental health in clear and frank ways- and become willing to open ourselves up to potentially awkward (but SO important) conversations.  

Note: be tender with yourself if this episode is triggering for you, come back to it later if you need to... and KNOW that if someone in your circle has passed away due to suicide that it was NEVER your fault, and when we talk about prevention it’s not for situations in the past, but how we can support others in the future.

  • shame resiliency: how to feel shame and move through it, what triggers us and why, and how to move through heaviness and use it for growth. 
  • emotional regulation: what co-regulation is and how to support our children from our energy- not our words (not scripts and mantras, this work is much deeper than that), how to support ourselves and our kids through big emotions.
  • the power of our thoughts and beliefs: how to separate who we are from what we think, how to create the exact relationship we want through the power of our mind 
  • connection-based parenting: why it’s the way of the future, how to parent in a relationship-first manner, developing deep and lasting connections that last a lifetime.

11 Apr 2022S04|07 - Peaceful Parenting Through Conscious Thinking00:17:20

Conscious thinking is at the core of a healthy relationship with ourselves. If our inner self-talk is negative, it will skew all our other relationships, parenting included. If we want to change the way we parent, naturally, it starts with changing our relationship with us first.

On the podcast today:

  • How to teach through connection and inspiration
  • Modelling self-confidence and self-love to our kids
  • What does a healthy relationship with me look like?
  • Tools to use daily to build your relationship with yourself through conscious thinking

16 Aug 2021S02|14 - People-Pleasing Mamas00:21:05

Do you find yourself saying yes when you want to say no? Trying to keep the peace and make everyone happy? You might be a people-pleaser too… let’s drop the heavy weight of people-pleasing and teach our children a new way of being. A lot of us were raised in homes where “big” emotions were shunned. If you felt sad, mad, angry… that was a problem. Children should be happy. Children should be seen and not heard. Anything beyond that was just not okay. The problem is that when we view emotions as problems to be solved, we have trouble allowing them, and allowing emotions is a key aspect to a healthy and fulfilling life.

In this episode:

  • What a people-pleaser is
  • How our generation is full of people-pleasers and why
  • What we can do to move out of this mindset
  • How to teach our children a different way

13 May 2024S08|18 - Real Talk: A Dad's Journey Through Parenting Challenges00:50:01

One of my favourite episodes by far, is this honest and tender-hearted conversation that I have with my husband on the podcast. We open up about the tough moments of parenting, managing neurodiverse challenges, and our own personal change and growth over the years. Meet JD Haitsma, my hubby (who is very much NOT a parenting coach). 

In this conversation, we get into: 

  • JD’s perspective on parenting years ago when I first learned about connection and attachment. 
  • The difference between living from the belief “Why wouldn’t this happen to me?” versus “This shouldn’t be happening to me”. 
  • Modifying behaviour (like is so often done with animals) vs helping our children to BECOME.
  • What changes have happened as we’ve parented differently, and what to do if those around you disagree with you.
  • How children are natural learners and are innately good… and why this belief creates changes. 

Connect with JD through his website.

What we believe we become. Have you ever taken an inventory on what beliefs you hold for your kids? And how they are becoming exactly what you believe?

  • How to be the gardener who cultivates the garden, instead of controlling it

24 Jun 2024S08|24 - Creating Connection and Support in Our Homes00:30:37

Language matters- are we creating inclusive spaces in our homes, schools and communities? Or are we pushing away those who need accommodations the most? We can listen to our children, and to our own inner wisdom, and figure out what our kids truly need and help them to feel more connected and included. 

Join Siris Raquel Rivas-Verdejo and I as we talk all about how to advocate for our families and help our children find their unique gifts. Siris is the owner of Empowering Light Language LLC and works with busy individuals and families virtually to improve their communication and self-care facilitated by a greater connection with their bodies and powered by a greater awareness of how their language impacts their lives. 

On today’s episode you’ll hear: 

  • How children’s behaviour is communication and how we can figure out what our kids are really saying to us.
  • How to create inclusivity at home and school through connection. 
  • Creating a healthy environment where all children feel thought of, accepted and wanted. 
  • Working with our children’s strengths and interests to help them see their unique magic and create connection within the entire family
  • How to tune into our “yes” and “no” and help our kids do the same (ie. what is your body telling you?)
