25.01.2022 and the day came.......

23.01.2022 Many couples I see are concerned about the impact of their relationship issues on their children. The great news is.......working on your relationship has a direct positive effect on your children - as so beautifully explained in this article!

19.01.2022 I don't know about you, but this has been a tough parenting season for us. The fear is real, the hard conversations are in full swing, and it seems like the sma...llest things require significant cost/benefit analyses. I thought it might be a good time to dig back into The Gifts of Imperfect Parenting research. It's been helping us (huge thanks to all of the research participants). This first learning is a reminder of the core finding from this research: Some of the best strategies rely on modeling the behaviors we want to see. Turns out that we need to be the adult that we want our kids to grow up to be. Dammit. There is immeasurable power in our children watching us practice self-kindness vs. berating ourselves or putting ourselves down when we stumble, fail, or make mistakes. And, no matter how we encourage them to talk to themselves, they are definitely watching to see what really matters. And, letting them in on our process is equally as powerful: "I really dropped the ball today and I'm struggling to be kind to myself about it and talk to myself the way I'd talk to someone I love." Modeling, normalizing that it isn't easy, and connecting. Y'all have a great weekend! Awkward, brave and kind, folks.

12.01.2022 You are not ‘less than’ or ‘not enough’. By the mere fact of your birth.......you deserve the complete fullness of life that it has to offer.

08.01.2022 Growth is understanding that we are not obliged to explain why when we say no. We do not need to give a reason. So ask yourself why you feel the need to explain... when you feel something is not for you and you simply want to decline? Of course every situation is unique, there is never only one way to do this, but when you truly think about it most often a simple No is all that’s necessary.

07.01.2022 When our children take the courage to share this, can you as a parent demonstrate the same courage to listen?

06.01.2022 Especially important to remember this heading into the festive season. Now here you are, an estranged adult child. You are navigating the world without connection to your family of origin. You might be stronger than you have ever been, in some cases happier, healthier, and more confident then you have ever been. Every day you confront the childhood trauma that brought you to this choice with clarity, resolution, and strength to work through it.... You might have done things you did not know you were capable of doing; you might have built a supportive family of your own and/or helped others in the ways you needed help. You might be taking small steps every day to live as your best self. Take a moment to celebrate that! You have done something that no one should ever have to do, you have made one of the most painful choices you will ever have to make, and you have been misunderstood by so manyand yet you remain strong. You remain true to yourself and your story!

02.01.2022 Great article on investing in your relationship by making deposits into the emotional bank account. Do try this at home!

02.01.2022 Great simple message!

01.01.2022 The human brain is a bit like our internal ‘body guard’. It detects danger, then does its best to protect us from harm. Is your ‘body guard’ a big, burly, muscle bound one that is ready to pounce at the first sign of trouble......or a does it take a deep breath & assess the level of risk first?
