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.

Mental Health and Motherhood with Jennifer Becker, LSW

Welcome back, friends!! Today, I am sharing my interview with Jennifer Becker, who is not only one of my favorite people in the world, but who also happens to be my amazing, intelligent and insightful sister-in-law! Jenn and I have been through 20 years of ups, downs and in-betweens together, and I am so grateful that she's a part of my life.
Jenn is a Licensed Social Worker who has specialized in mental health for much of her career. We discuss how mental health affects not only us, but our children, partners and basically all the relationships in our lives. We talk about how important it is to be pro-active with your own mental health, and also how important it is to empower and support others' on their mental health journeys, as well. Jenn also discuss how important it is to be vigilant about the mental health of our kids, including having age-appropriate conversations with our kids about mental health and encouraging them to make their health a priority, too.
Seeking mental health treatment and support, however you choose to do it, should never be a source of shame. If you, or someone you know, is struggling with mental heath issues, I hope you are encouraged by this episode to get the help you need and to reach out to friends and other loved ones for support. You are not alone and help is only a phone all away.

Ditching the Mom Guilt

Welcome back, friends!! Today's episode is another mini-episode and a solo episode with me (Kate)! Today I'm discussing how we can ditch the mom guilt (who needs it?!) and really lean into who we are as women, mothers and partners and take all of who we are into motherhood and not make ourselves feel guilty about it. As moms, we're pretty darn good at making ourselves feel guilty about almost anything in our motherhood, and today I want to offer you some encouragement to give yourself a break, some grace and to celebrate all the things that you are already doing well and can celebrate as wins. So be encouraged, Mamas! You're already doing a GREAT JOB!! Tune in today to be reminded of it!
