Parenting Our Future
211 episodes - English - Latest episode: 9 months ago - ★★★★★ - 191 ratingsParents! We CAN change the world, starting with the way we're parenting our future.
Up to this point in history, children have been seen as less than and parented in a way that uses power over a child. Most of us were parented in this way but there is a shift in thinking about the way we raise our kids. Parents don’t feel good about using shame, blame, criticism, punishments, and even rewards, to get their kids to listen. Parents are wanting a different way because they know from their own childhoods this type of parenting hurts and leaves us with scars we take with us through our adulthood.
Each one of my episodes is designed to help you navigate the difficult journey of parenting but in a way that is more peaceful and intentional. I’ll show you how to get your kids to listen and cooperate without yelling, punishments and rewards. I’ll show you how to understand your own feelings and those of your kids.
My intention is to bring you to a place where you feel connected with your kids and yourself (we often get lost when we become parents!). Tune in weekly for all the inside tips, tools and tricks I teach my private clients to help you build the family you always wanted, and to become the parent you always envisioned you would be. I promise to provide you with fun and entertaining content that will leave you seeing your kids and your reactions in a whole new light!
Please make sure to share the episodes that give you goosebumps, and leave you feeling inspired! I am always grateful for every person who subscribes, leaves a review and rates my podcast 5 stars.

What is “Peaceful Parenting | POF195
April 04, 2023 13:00 - 44 minutesI get this question a lot.

Talking to Your Kids About Sex - What When and How | POF184
January 17, 2023 13:00 - 37 minutesNo parent looks forward to “The Talk” with their kids!

Help Kids Overcome Fear & Anxiety with Christina Furnival | POF183
January 10, 2023 13:00 - 39 minutesIt’s so important to understand that we all feel fear and anxiety. Fear is meant to protect us and keep us safe so when our kids are scared, we need to reassure them that it’s normal and natural.

November 08, 2022 13:00 - 37 minutesOur kids are naturally curious explorers who can easily get caught up in their own world of make believe and play!

Defending Young Minds from Pornography | POF171
October 18, 2022 13:00 - 57 minutesTalking to your kids about online safety, needs to be as normal as teaching them to safely cross the street. I know we would rather not talk about pornography but the reality is, that every child with a device connected to the internet, is a portal to porn.

Your child hitting you might h...
Zen Parenting | POF166
September 13, 2022 13:00 - 1 hourThere is no such thing as a perfect parent.

Giving Kids an Emotional Toolkit | POF165

The Sleep-Deprived Teen | POF162
August 16, 2022 13:00 - 41 minutesOnly 22% of teens get the amount of sleep they need to be rested which is 8-10 hours. You might be thinking it’s because they are on screens too long but that’s not the case. The main reasons why they aren’t getting enough sleep is because their circadian rhythm shifts in the teen years that makes them naturally want to go to sleep later and wake up earlier (it’s not just YOUR teen!!). My guest, Lisa L. Lewis shares how sleep deprivation impacts teens in their ability to attain, retain, a...
