On Follow-Through
September 19, 2021 15:05 - 15 minutes - 14.2 MBThere is an energy we can sometimes get when we're tired and following through out of habit verses because we are all in on it and feel it is necessary. This energy can taint our actions with reluctance and they will most likely be interpreted as petty and unnecessary as a result of that energetic reluctance. I dive into what causes this…why we can lose momentum on our follow through and what it indicates that we must do next to fix it because we will only last so long following through fr...

You need to learn to employ your mind differently to get on top of this situation you now have brewing within your family of you trying to get your kids on...
Parenting as a Practice
August 29, 2021 07:00 - 19 minutes - 18.3 MBIn this episode I talk about parenting for perfection and the benefits of cultivating the mindset of a parenting practice instead. Parenting for perfection is a way of rushing to the end of things and getting away from parenting duties as fast as you possibly can. When you parent for perfection you learn a bunch of tactics and strategies to throw at your parenting challenges and then hope to trick the part of you that will beat you to a pulp for getting it wrong into believing you know what...
The Non-Transferable Quality of Relationships
August 22, 2021 07:00 - 20 minutes - 18.5 MBWe are in relationship with everyone and everything all the time. This episode examines our relationship with any given thing at any given time. An absence of leadership leaves everything open to change…the natural result of which is to test boundaries to understand the new rules and the new playing field. In this episode I examine the difference between trying to loan our relationship with something to our children and having them develop a relationship with that thing themselves. Host...

Parenting Hats and Maintaining Your Center
August 08, 2021 07:00 - 19 minutes - 17.5 MBIn this episode I examine the division of self that often happens to people when they put on their "parenting" hat and attempt to twist and mold themselves into a model that they have come to associate with what a "good" parent is or should be, or what makes them and their children acceptable to the people around them and what happens instead when they pull in their whole selves, their strengths, weaknesses, values, leadership style and honor their own power and individuality to be wise and ...
What it Means to be Disciplined
August 01, 2021 07:00 - 18 minutes - 16.8 MBIn this episode I explore my own rocky relationship with the word discipline, my random nature and how I reframed the process to work for me. I talk about what it really means to be disciplined or to enact it, and what happens when we don't have it. I also talk about the framework that discipline can provide us to confidently navigate unknowns in life, how to use it to lead, and also to assign meaning to the things we experience.

Pressure, Body Language and Energy
July 25, 2021 07:00 - 18 minutes - 16.9 MBA dog's view the world is all about energy, pressure and body language. They primarily process via means of non-verbal communication and even once you teach them words, they will always take what you are telling them with your energy and body language as being more true if the two are in conflict and this where I tell you the same happens with your kids. People are very good at noticing when not "all of you" is on the same page. Children are especially tuned into this as when they are les...
Is Your Child's Free Will Ruining Your Plans?
July 18, 2021 07:00 - 14 minutes - 13.4 MBIn this episode I talk about the tendency of highly capable parents to be in love with their own way of doing things and how our children's insistence on "getting it wrong" is highly distressing to us. There is a mindset in operation here that makes us just rush to the end...as if there is some pot of gold at the end of our "do it my way rainbow" that will make us never, ever experience another parenting problem ever again. The problem with this mindset is that it leads to subtle power str...
Fail Often and Loudly
July 11, 2021 18:54 - 18 minutes - 16.8 MBIn this episode I open up with a raw experience between myself and my daughter to illustrate what a fear of failure and protecting yourself from it can look like from the outside. I explore what we get out of the "keeping ourselves safe" mindset and how we use it to avoid things that make us uncomfortable. I give some tips on the mindsets that create the super power of being super comfortable with falling flat on your face in a very public way and our role as parents in creating and sust...
