Christy shares the struggles and joys of this journey, as well as her own emotions when she received the diagnosis. Christy also talk about the importance of early intervention, discusses the meaning that mom groups have in her life, as well as how her faith has played a role in, and shaped, how she not only views motherhood, but being the mother of a special-needs child.

Being Loud About What Matters with Olivia Duffy

Are you loud about what matters to you? If not, that’s okay, but my guest today definitely is. Olivia Duffy joins me today in my very first interview for the second season of AuthentiKate.

She’s passionate about what she has learned and believes in and shares a lot of what she has discovered with you on today’s podcast. I invite you to listen in on our conversation with an open mind, remembering that perspective and mindset are key not only in parenting, but in educating ourselves about the world around us and the messages we have been, and are being, taught. I hope you enjoy listening to Olivia as much as I did and grab some of her passion for parenting and life for yourself!

3 Ways To Argue Well With Your Partner (and Your Kids)

Do you struggle to communicate respectfully and effectively with your partner and/or your kids? If so, then this episode’s for you. I teach you three ways that you can master this life skill, while being more self-aware and receptive to your partner’s, or your kid’s, perspectives and opinions in the process.

Our Perspectives Of Parenting

What is your perspective of your parenting? As parents, we can have all sorts of perspectives on a variety of topics, but parenting may be one that we really don't think about because we're too busy being in the thick of it. However, today, I'm going to pose eight different questions to you to get you to really think about what your perspective of your parenting is and how your perspective influences HOW you parent. If you're a note-taker, pull out that pen and paper for this one. Below are the eight questions you can start thinking about to explore who you are and who you want to become as a parent so you can show up as the best parent you want to be for your kids.
1. What story do you tell yourself as a parent?
2. How do you view your children?
3. Do you doubt your parenting?
4. What can you simplify or do to make parenting easier for you?
5. Are you parenting from a place of fear?
6. What does my child need from me that I have been unable to give so far?
7. How do you interpret your parenting?
8. Are you allowing your past to influence how you parent?

The Pace At Which We Parent

Have you ever questioned the pace at which you parent? Or are you moving at such a fast pace with all the things you're currently juggling to even consider the thought? Today's episode is about exactly that. Slowing down enough to really look at how we parent, re-examining our schedules and routines and asking ourselves if there's a slower pace we can go to really make the most of each moment spent with our kids and giving ourselves a break in the process. Remember, it's okay to say "No" to things and it's okay to slow down. Take a listen and let me know...at what pace do you parent?

What’s the Deal with Discipline?

So, what IS the deal with discipline? Disciplining our children is an art and a challenge and one that neither we, or our children, really enjoy when we’re in the thick of it. However, on today’s episode, I’m going to help you reframe the word discipline and teach you how it can be done with more love and intention so you can use it as a tool to not only teach, correct and guide your children, but so that you can actually use discipline as a positive tool to connect more deeply with you kids and build stronger bonds with them.
