😮💨Mini Reset -- Moments of Meltdown
Monday Mar 20, 2023
Monday Mar 20, 2023
What happens when your kids have a major meltdown? Do you have a plan or do you let it derail your day?
The way we think and feel in the moment is important. When you have a plan in place and ultimately can recognize and acknowledge that your child just wants to be seen and heard can drastically change the dynamic of these meltdowns.
And remember, not only do kids get to have these meltdowns, but as adults, we get to have those moments too!
Sometimes adults need to have the tantrum and let their feelings flow and just let go!
Tantrums are not the end of the world.
Your feelings are valid!
Give yourself an opportunity to express your feelings and then with communication with your kids on your expectations for the future.
Push play now to hear:
💖How coping is a bandaid vs creating a solution so you can grow and change.
💖How to pause and ask how we can create a solution.
💖How we can help our kids can feel seen and heard.

🍽️Dining Out or Dining In... That is the Question!
Monday Mar 13, 2023
Monday Mar 13, 2023
When you take your kids out to eat, it can be a challenge! There are so many things that make going out to eat with your family an adventure. Things like finding a restaurant that everyone will like, spilled drinks, going to the bathroom 72 times, getting rowdy, fighting, and so many more little things.
We get to decide how these little moments feel. Does it tend to feel overwhelming? Or can you take in this precious time with the people you love the most and really enjoy it?
Enjoy these moments with our kids because they won't be kids forever and one day, you'll want to look back on this time and remember how much fun you had, rather than how overwhelmed you felt.
It's about being able to consider it from different angles and soak it all in!
Seeing them light up when you tell them you're going out to eat and the joy on their faces when they're playing around at the table and allowing those moments to be what they are is how you create the opportunity to make memories.
Push play now to hear:
💖That we get to soak up every moment that's happening around us!
💖How to take the pressure off and enjoy the little moments!
💖That no family is perfect, it's about the willingness to improve!

🛏️Mini Reset -- The Wrong Side of the Bed
Monday Mar 06, 2023
Monday Mar 06, 2023
When you wake up and feel like you want to be in your own energy and don't want to be bothered by anyone else, it's okay! It's okay to have those days when you're a little short or don't have the patience. At any time you can hit the pause button, look at how you're feeling, and take a beat. You get to ask yourself, "how can I improve," if you want to. You get to make that choice. It's okay to take a personal day and give yourself what you need! Sometimes all you need is to connect with yourself through nature, by taking a walk, meditating, cooking, or just spending time in your own energy.
On that same note, we get to remember that we're raising little humans who have the same feelings and have the same kind of days too. Just like we sometimes don't know what to do with these feelings, they don't either! We get to show them it's okay to feel this way. Give them their day! Let them feel how they're feeling and let give them the space to feel how they feel. When we can show our kids how to listen to themselves and take action to connect with themselves, they grow into well-developed people.
Push play now to hear:
💖How to take the time to listen and do what you need to connect with yourself.
💖How to take a deep breath, connect with your breath, and allow yourself to just be you today.
💖Recognize that our kids have those days too!
