In this juicy episode, I am spilling ALL the tea about why failure isn't just normal—it's your secret parenting superpower! 💪

Think about it: Michael Jordan missed 9,000+ shots and Ed Sheeran was once a super awkward teen musician (he showed the receipts and everything!). Their "secret"? They didn't avoid failure—they COLLECTED it like badges of honor!

I'm breaking down my game-changing "Five E's" formula that transforms those epic parenting face-plants into golden growth opportunities: • Energy (showing up 100%) • Effort (going all-in) • Ending power (sticking through the hard stuff) • Evaluation (learning from every no) • Emotional presence (bringing your whole self)

And I share the absolutely LIFE-CHANGING advice I gave my son while he's out there getting doors slammed in his face selling pest control. Turns out, every "no" is just collecting evidence that you're getting closer to your "yes"! (Mind = blown, right?!)

So next time your toddler throws spaghetti across the room or your teen gives you The Eye Roll™, don't beat yourself up! You're not failing at parenting—you're actually building your parenting muscles through productive failure.

Ready to start collecting productive failures? I dare you to track 100 this month! (And yes, small ones totally count!)

Let's ditch the perfectionist thinking and get EXCITED about our fails, friend. Because that's where the magic happens! ✨

Hey there, amazing parents!!! Today's episode is ALL about the transformative power of the awareness, allowing, and wisdom process.

I'm walking you through my signature STEAR and PEACE processes that have helped thousands of parents shift from correction-based to connection-based parenting. It's not about being perfect—it's about being present and compassionate with yourself first.

Episode Highlights:

• STEAR Recap: How our thoughts about situations create our emotions, actions, and ultimately our results
• The Power of Awareness: Why looking at your thoughts is the essential first step to changing anything in your life
• The Art of Allowing: Why most of us rush to change our thoughts before we've fully allowed and processed our emotions
• Wisdom-Based Change: How to make changes from a place of peace rather than panic
• The Compassionate Witness: Becoming the observer of your thoughts instead of being identified with them

Remember, lovelies: you can't skip the ALLOW step! That's where all the magic happens. And yes, it's the hardest part because it means FEELING those uncomfortable emotions. But trust me—I've been there, done that, got the T-shirt—it's worth it.

Sending you so much love and support on your parenting journey! ✨

Let's get real for a hot second—ever feel like parenting is just one giant tug-of-war? (And somehow you're ALWAYS the one about to face-plant into the mud puddle, am I right?!)

In today's episode, I'm diving into my "Dream Relationship Strategy" – the exact framework I've used to transform my relationships with my kids (including my son who's turning 24 this year—which is WILD because I'm pretty sure I'm still 24 myself! 🤪).

What You'll Learn:

• Why your brain is literally the command center of your parenting (yes, everything starts RIGHT there!)
• How those sneaky thoughts like "nothing will ever get better" are totally sabotaging your connection with your kids
• The mind-blowing reframe that turns "my kid is SO frustrating" into "my child is doing the hard work of growing up" (game-changer alert! 🚨)
• Why Indigenous cultures have been nailing this whole parenting thing while many of us are still struggling with outdated strategies

My Favorite Quotes From This Episode:

"All of those external tools that I depended on for years, it was better for me to parent without them."

"My child is doing the hard work of growing up. I'm honored to be here to help."

"Connection teaches more than consequences."

Your Homework Assignment (because growth doesn't happen by accident!):

1. Identify one sticky situation where your relationship feels strained
2. Write down ALL your thoughts about it (yes, even the judgmental ones we all have!)
3. Thank your nervous system for trying to protect you (because even those triggered reactions are trying to help!)
4. Create new, empowering thoughts to replace the draining ones
5. Practice visualizing yourself believing these new thoughts

Remember: You're not just studying for a test here—you're rehearsing for the role of a lifetime as the parent your kids actually WANT in their corner!

Want to become the parent your kids call when they're 25 with GOOD news, not just when their car breaks down? This episode is your roadmap!
