A Philosophical Understanding of Anxiety with Samir Chopra, PhD

Samir Chopra is a philosophical counselor and professor emeritus of Philosophy at Brooklyn College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York.  At times difficult and emotional today’s conversation may not be everyone’s cup of tea, I acknowledge that, but I encourage you to stay present and curious and explore what might show up for you. Because ultimately it’s a conversation about what it means to love.  I hope this episode will add a new layer in aiding you to reflect, reconsider and reconceptualize anxiety.

Mother Hunger: How Adult Daughters Can Understand and Heal from Lost Nurturance, Protection, and Guidance with Kelly McDaniel

Mother loss comes in many forms: cancer, suicide, illness, murder, accidents. And while many women still have their mothers, they have lost them to abandonment, addiction, memory malfunction, mental illness and more.  Kelly McDaniel is an author and clinician supporting women on the journey toward relational wholeness.  In her first book, Ready to Heal, she addresses cultural double standards and family wounds that set women up for addictive relationship habits. Her second book, Mother Hunger, is the culmination of 30 years of research, clinical expertise, and a deep understanding of mothering myths. Mother Hunger provides women a name for the misunderstood root of poor eating patterns, chronic relationship disappointment, and distorted self image. In Mother Hunger what Kelly does is validate the experience of mother loss by giving a poignant name to a phenomenon that many will know very well and offer an elegant and useful framework for healing.  In short, this is a conversation about childhood attachment injuries and their lasting impact. Kelly destigmatized the shame that comes with being under-mothered and offers a healing path with powerful tools that include lifestyle changes and therapeutic interventions.  SUPPORT THE SHOW, SHOW YOUR LOVE Become a patron on Patreon.com and join exisiting memebers who contribute towards our monthly goal of $500.  Make a one-time donation in any amount to say “Thank you!” Rate or write a review FULL SHOW NOTES www.authenticparenting.com/podcast HOW TO WORK WITH ANNA I would be thrilled to support you in your parenting journey!

Living Well with Stress with Elissa Epel, PhD

World-renowned psychologist and best selling author Elissa Epel on embracing stress and transforming it.  Stress is a part of life.   It’s ubiquitous. It is the ocean we swim in. We can’t avoid it. But we can learn to live well with it.  Humans have a stress response for a reason. It prepares our mind and body for what we need to do in the moment and in the moments ahead. Even our negative thoughts can trigger our bodies stress response, so we rarely experience periods of ease and deep restoration.  Humans are exquisitely built to handle stress. In fact we need it.  And in the right dosage and frequency, it helps keep our cells young and vital.  SUPPORT THE SHOW, SHOW YOUR LOVE Become a patron on Patreon.com and join exisiting memebers who contribute towards our monthly goal of $500.  Make a one-time donation in any amount to say “Thank you!” Rate or write a review FULL SHOW NOTES www.authenticparenting.com/podcast HOW TO WORK WITH ANNA I would be thrilled to support you in your parenting journey!

Every Memory Deserves Respect: Finding Healing With EMDR Therapy with Michael Baldwin

WRANING The following episode contains content that may be triggering to some listeners. Please check the show notes for more detailed descriptions and take care of yourself. It contains discussions of complex trauma, the depiction of traumatic events, graphic descriptions of violence against children with sounds of a beating, has references to emotional neglect, child abuse, sibling abuse, sexual abuse, bullying, dysfunctional family, and childhood trauma:  Listener discretion is strongly advised. With that said, the story that we unravel has a positive ending. It’s truly an incredible, compelling, and inspiring story about someone who experienced trauma during childhood and recovered from it with EMDR therapy. All his life Michael suffered tremendously from the effects of trauma. He experienced severe symptoms, fears and phobias and felt lost, like he had nothing, that he was nothing. He developed survival strategies to cope with his pain.  At the age of sixty-one, despite years of therapy, he was no closer to understanding why so many things that came effortlessly to others were impossible for him: sustaining a relationship or a career, even using public bathrooms. In 2017 when he started EMDR therapy he had such severe symptoms that his life felt like a prison.

The Power of Vulnerability to Create Intimacy

Allowing oneself to be vulnerable with another person can be exceedingly difficult yet rewarding as it leads to more closeness and intimacy.  Can asking another person a structured set of questions really help two people deepen closeness and boost intimacy or fall in love?  We are exploring the famous 36 questions to fall in love experiment. The so-called 36 questions to fall in love are a set of questions developed in the 1990s by psychologists Arthur Aron, Ph.D., Elaine Aron, Ph.D., and other researchers to see if two strangers can develop an intimate connection just from asking each other a series of increasingly personal questions. The 36 questions in the study are broken up into three sets, with each set intended to be more probing than the previous one. If you are looking to strengthen your relationship with your spouse, deepen your connection with your friend or romantic partner, reconnect emotionally with someone, fall in love with someone new, boost intimacy and closeness give the 36 questions a try.  Remember, vulnerability is not weakness. ABOUT MY CO-HOST Kristy Lauricella is a psychotherapist in private practice in New Jersey. She takes a supportive and collaborative approach with a primary focus on a person's relationships, patterns, and sense of self. Kristy is an experienced hospice and palliative care social worker, birth and postpartum doula, teacher of writing, and professional development facilitator.   As a result of her broad background and training and range of experiences, Kristy is able to create a safe space to process seemingly insurmountable challenges.    Through their work together, her clients feel more empowered to take action and build authentic relationships that reflect their true values and core beliefs.   MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE The 36 Questions 310: The Healing Power of Storytelling The 300!

If you have listened to EPISODE 336 with Gabor Maté, then you're going to enjoy today’s conversation, as it features his eldest son–Daniel Maté who is the co-author of The Myth of Normal.  Daniel Maté is an award-winning musical theatre dramatist, songwriter, and educator.  This conversation explores the complicated parent-child relationship in childhood and beyond.  Childhood is a short period in the entire span of the parent-child relationship.

Overcoming Adversity & Thriving Against All Odds with David Ambroz

ATTENTION: This episode touches on sensitive topics such as poverty, homelessness, parental mental illness and foster care. Listener discretion is advised.  For my guest David and his two siblings, their mother’s paranoid schizophrenia brought with it poverty, violence, and instability. They traveled through New York and neighboring areas seeking shelter: they found it in train stations, 24-hour diners, anywhere warm and dry. The first 11 years of his life he was homeless, then he was placed in foster care. At first, it felt like salvation but soon proved to be just as unsafe for him.  As a gay child, David’s coming-off age is fusrther marked by anti-gay abuse at the hands of caregiovers and therpists.  David Ambroz is a national poverty and child welfare expert and advocate. He was recognized by President Obama as an American Champion of Change. He currently serves as the Head of Community Engagement (West) for Amazon, coordinating with non-profits and community leaders for social good. Previously he led Corporate Social Responsibility for Walt Disney Television, and served as the President of the Los Angeles City Planning Commission, and as a California Child Welfare Councilmember.

Parental Burnout: Causes, Signs and How to Cope With It with Kate Gawlik

If parenting was stressful before the pandemic, during the COVID-19 global crisis, ⅔ of parents experienced some level of burnout. The pandemic is not over and stress on parents is not going to magically go away and it is critical that we recognize and find ways to prevent burnout in parents.  Kate Gawlik, an Associate Professor of Clinical Nursing at The Ohio State University on how to recognize the signs of parental burnout and how to cope with it.  Parental burnout builds in stages, slowly. Phase one -overwhelming exhaustion. Next phase, burned-out parents tend to distance themselves from their kids to preserve their energy. And the third phase is loss of fulfillment.  You can take the self-assessment tool provided by Kate to learn more about yourself. Burnout runs on a continuum.  A report by The Ohio State University Office of the Chief Wellness Officer and College of Nursing found the stress was simply too much for many working parents to handle,  revealing that two-thirds of working parents experienced some level of burnout. The study found an association between burnout and depression, anxiety, alcohol consumption and The research, conducted in 2021 found stress on parents also had consequences for children, as parental burnout was associated with punitive behavior towards their kids – including screaming, criticizing and even physical harm – and increased acting out by their children.

What Comes After Grief? with Hope Edelman

Unexpressed grief from the past may be one of the most overlooked public crises of our time. Says my guest, Hope Edelman today-who is a strong voice and influential figure in the bereavement field and her books have helped countless people, especially women, as she wrote about mother loss. And mother loss, doesn’t necessarily mean loss by death. There is abandonment, separation, neglect… Her new book is one of the most important books I’ve encountered one the topic. It’s called The AfterGrief: Finding Your Way Along the Long Arc of Loss. As the title suggests, adjusting to loss is a lifelong process but as you’ll learn from this conversation-it doesn't have to be a lifelong struggle. The AfterGrief is where we learn to live with a central paradox of bereavement: that a loss can recede in time and yet remain so exquisitely present.  MENTIONED IN THIS EPSIODE Ep. 307: How Mother Loss Shapes Who We Become Ep. 290.

The 6 Critical Emotional Needs of Children with Anna Seewald

In this solo episode Anna talks about the 6 critical emotional needs of children. She provides an overview with some examples to help you understand your children better; become a better decoder of their behavior, uncover their emotional needs and meet the needs with responsiveness and sensitivity.  She goes over her 4 Buckets Framework for understanding challenging behaviors (NEEDS is only one of the categories).  In our culture we are always fixated on the behavior itself(we want to stop, correct and get rid of). When we focus on the behavior in isolation (wanting to stop, correct, get rid of etc.) and see the behavior as the problem, we misunderstand children. We miss the mark. So challenging behaviors not only persist but escalate and become more destructive, and intensify.  Behavior-based approach is not effective.  In no particular order here are the 6 emotional needs: Safety Respect Acceptance Autonomy Significance Connection If you want to learn more and go deeper, get The Why of Challeneging Behaviors and the How-to of Dealing with Them now.    SUPPORT THE SHOW, SHOW YOUR LOVE Become a patron on Patreon.com and join 18 exisiting memebers who contribute $92 towards our monthly goal of $500.  Make a one-time donation in any amount to say “Thank you!” Rate or write a review   FULL SHOW NOTES www.authenticparenting.com/podcast    WORK WITH ME I would be thrilled to support you in your parenting journey!

Why You Can’t Pay Attention and How to Think Deeply Again with Johann Hari

Have you noticed that your ability to pay attention is collapsing?  Did you know that in the US teenagers can focus on one task for only sixty-five seconds at a time and office workers average only three minutes? Like so many of us Johann Hari was finding that constantly switching from device to device and tab to tab was a diminishing and depressing way to live. He went on a quest to find out what was happening to our attention and he wrote a phenomenal book called Stolen Focus.  He argues in the book that your focus has been stolen by some powerful external forces. Hari found that there are 12 deep causes of this crisis, from the decline of the mind-wandering to rising pollution, all of which have rubbed some of our attention.  Hari says that we can reclaim our focus-as individuals and as a society-if we are determined to fight for it.  SOME KEY POINTS Why do we need to pay attention to our attention?  How childhood is happening behind closed doors and the lack of free unstructured play and movement is affecting kids The myth of multitasking and the switch cost effect Why tech is not the only invader of your attention And why the solutions require both individual and collective approaches  And so much more GET HIS BOOKS God Save the Queen?

Why Your Happiness Matters with Ericka Souter

Parenting is hard. But being a parent doesn’t mean you have to stifle your most basic wants and needs. It doesn’t mean it has to consume you to the degree of self-sacrifice and martyrdom and you definitely don’t need to lose yourself to be a good parent. Ericka Souter, author of How to Have a Baby and a Life on why being good for our kids has to become synonymous with being good to ourselves.  If you are not happy, your children know it, moreover children suffer if the people taking care of them are not taking care of themselves. Mothers who feel depressed are more likely to have children who act out or have other behavioral problems.  Researchers say that a mom’s satisfaction with her life is more important to a child’s social and emotional skills than how much money she has, the amount of time she spends with them, or whether she is working or a stay-at-home mom.

Breathing and Your Health

We enter into the world with a breath and the process of breathing continues automatically. We don’t pay much attention to it unless of course something goes wrong.  But the way we breathe has an enormous impact on our health. To quote my guest directly:  “Breathing impacts every aspect of health-sleep, digestion, movement, mental well-being, disease and recovery. It’s an extraordinary resource with life-changing potential. And it’s simple, free and available to everyone.”  You are about to learn some great information and practical techniques that are key to healthy breathing and healthy living. In today’s conversation Patrick McKeown explains the difference between functional and dysfunctional breathing, the effects of dysfunctional breathing on our health, he emphasizes the importance of nasal breathing, the roles and misconceptions about oxygen and CO2, teaches us to breath correctly to get more oxygenation to our brain and cells, for improving focus, concentration, sleep, and ease stress and anxiety, relax the nervous system, overall health and performance. and get this, it turns out breathing for women is different.  This is such a rich episode, packed not only with great information but also practical tips that you can apply right away for example how to open a blocked nose. I asked him about mask wearing: is it good, is it bad, what does it do to us, as well and learned interesting things about dry lips, double chin, ADHD and breathing and mouth taping at night for better sleep.    GET HIS BOOKS The Breathing Cure The Oxygen Advantage    TODAY'S SPONSOR Athletic Greens is offering my listeners a FREE 1 year supply of Vitamin D and 5 free travel packs with your first purchase.

The Power of Emotional Intelligence to Achieve Well-Being and Success with Marc Brackett

For the past 25 years Marc Brackett, Ph.D has been researching and writing about emotions and running around the world talking to people about their feelings.  Marc Brackett, Ph.D., is the founding director of the Yale Center for Emotional Intelligence and a professor in the Child Study Center, Yale School of Medicine at Yale University. “Our emotional state is one of the most important aspects of our lives. It rules everything else. Its influence is pervasive. Yet it is also the thing we steer around most carefully. Our inner lives are uncharted territory even to us, a risky place to explore.  Our lives are saturated with emotions-sadness, disappointment, anxiety, irritation, enthusiasm and even tranquility. Sometimes-often-those feelings are inconvenient.  The irony, though, is when we ignore our feelings, or suppress them, they only become stronger. " Key poiints:  Why emotions matter?

Buddhism Meets Psychotherapy on the Path of Liberation

The core struggle for most of us is we want things to be different than they are. How can we free ourselves from unnecessary suffering and experience freedom that is already present in our lives.  Ask yourself, what am I feeling right now that I don’t want to feel? And is that a problem?  Often we look outside ourselves either for problems or solutions. Couples blame one another-you should change so that I won’t feel disturbed. By placing the cause of our disturbance outside of ourselves they miss the opportunity to develop a capacity to deal with our own disturbance.  What is our tendency? We avoid feeling discomfort. We get wrapped up in stories and interpretations. Our normal way of operating is to relate to our embodied sensation from the perspective of our interpretations.  According to my guest-Bruce Tift, the author of Already Free, the more we stay embodied with our moment to moment experience, the more confidence we have that we can work with whatever arises.    GET HIS BOOK Already Free: Buddhism Meets Psychotherapy on the Path of Liberation   BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1.

The Voice in Your Head and How To Harness It

We all have an inner voice and how it manifests differs from person to person. How well do you know your inner voice? Rather than silencing the negative self-talk-the chatter, we need to learn how to harness it. This is the central question of my guest’s brand new book Chatter: The Voice In Our Head, Why It Matters and How To Harness It. Ethan Kross, Ph.D  is an award-winning professor and bestselling author in the University of Michigan’s top ranked Psychology Department and its Ross School of Business. He has participated in policy discussion at the White House and has been interviewed on CBS Evening News, Good Morning America, and NPR’s Morning Edition. His pioneering research has been featured in The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, Harvard Business Review, USA Today, The Economist, The Atlantic, Forbes, and Time. In this interview Ethan reveals the hidden power of our inner voice and shows how we can harness it to live a healthier, more satisfying and more productive life.  The good news is we are already equipped with the tools we need to make our inner voice work in our favor. Yes, that inner critic can become your inner coach.  Key points:    When do we first become aware of our inner voice?  How does harmful mental chatter influence people’s emotional health and physical health? Does venting emotions reduce harmful mental chatter? And so much more   GET HIS BOOK Chatter: The Voice In Our Head, Why It Matters and How To Harness It BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1.

Healing Trauma and Restoring Wholeness

There are so many therapeutic methods and healing modalities available these days.   One of them is IFS, or parts work. I have the honor of  speaking with the creator of IFS, Dr. Rick Schwartz. He's the creator of Internal Family Systems, IFS, a highly effective evidence-based therapeutic model. It provides a non-pathologizing, optimistic, and empowering perspective and a practical and effective set of techniques for working with individuals, couples, families, and more recently, corporations and classrooms. In this episode we talked about:  The myth of the mono mind The goal and the 4 main benefits of IFS It’s origin, growth and milestones Then Dr. Schwartz describes the parts and their roles  We do a live demo We all have different parts. Think of an inner critic, for example, as one part. They all serve a purpose, even the most destructive ones have protective intentions.  Parts are often frozen in past traumas when their extreme rules are needed When they trust it's safe to step out of their roles, they are highly valuable to the system.   GET HIS NEW BOOK No bad Parts   SIGN UP FOR THE SIBLING WORKSHOP All About Siblings-Two-Part Workshop Join us LIVE for this two-part workshop on: October 21, 12pm Eastern/11am Central November 4, 12pm Eastern/11am Central Learn more and get your ticket >>>https://www.eventbrite.com/e/182608967337 We are going to dive deep into the key mindset shifts you need to confidently navigate your kids relationships with each other.

Alarmed Aloneness

Did you know that when we name our feelings the activity in the amygdala decreases? My guest Sarah Peyton and I start today’s conversation with this topic. She mentions Matthew Liberman’s research She talks about the panic-grief circuit of the mammalian brain and explains the phenomenon of alarmed aloneness.  Why she prefers the expression alarmed loneliness as opposed to separation anxiety and abandonment   Some key points: The signs of alarmed aloneness  Unconscious contracts what we make with ourselves and how can we release ourselves from those harmful agreements and live freely,  The hippocampus and the amygdala in forming traumatic memories  How do we show up for other people who show us that they need accompaniment? Of course our tendency is to offer advice and solutions. We all yearn for accompaniment, attunement, resonance. The difference between empathy and resonance  Sarah’s first book, Your Resonant Self, includes the foundational neuroscience concepts and client stories that help the reader pave a resonant practice path to self-compassion. Your Resonant Self Workbook builds onto the first book by adding the neuroscience of unconscious contracts, which supports an even deeper movement into self-warmth.

The Complicated Mother-Daughter Relationship

The mother-daughter relationship is one of the most important—and complicated in the lives of most adult women. Helping my patients understand their mothers has helped me become familiar with parts of myself - and my mother - I might have never known if not for the stories I've heard, says Judith Rabinor, PhD,  We don't choose our mothers but as an adult you always have an opportunity to choose new pathways. It's never too late to let go of frustrated expectations and celebrate the connection you might have thought was doomed to disappointment and hurt. Your mother is the most important woman you have ever known.  I’d love to suggest some books that I have found helpful: Motherless Daughters: The legacy of loss by Hope Edelman Motherless Mothers: How mother loss shapes the parents we become by Hope Edelman The Emotionally Absent Mother,: How to Recognize and Heal the Invisible Effects of Childhood Emotional Neglect The Drama of the Gifted Child by Alice Miller Mothers Who Can’t Love by Susan Forward    GET HER BOOK The Girl in The Red Boots: Making Peace with My Mother   BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1.

Hard Truth About Parenting the Conscious Way

In our performance, achievement, good grades and behavior oriented culture, we get stuck in unhelpful, old and deeply entrenched patterns. We repeat what we don’t heal. It takes courage, willingness, commitment and hard work (and a whole lot of self-compassion) to parent differently than our parents. It’s all about deepening our awareness on a daily basis, learning new skills and adapting a process oriented mindset as opposed to result oriented. That's the path to growth and positive change. And change doesn't happen overnight.  If you are like most of us then probably you sometimes question whether or not you're doing a good job as a parent. What we share might surprise you.

When Kids Don't Listen with Anna Seewald

"We are really struggling with kiddos not listening right now…I’m struggling to be patient and to show up as the parent I would like to be." In this solo podcast episode I answer some of your parenting questions (posted recently in our FB group).  "We are struggling with our 6.5 year old teasing his brother and yelling at him. My little one is about to turn 3. My boys are whining and struggling to listen. It’s feels like there’s a lot of conflict going."  "How to respond to my 6 yr old's frequent, explosive (& sometimes violent) tantrums - he has several a day over minor frustrations and not getting his way (even in response to long-established rules like no snacks in the hour before dinner)." I pulled common threads: kids not listening = not cooperating  kids having tantrums and whining = exhibiting emotion regulation and impulse control challenges  When it comes to kids not listening-cooperating, there are 2 emotional needs that we need to pay attention to: Attachment-connection Autonomy  I can suggest 3 ways to elicit cooperation:  Strengthen connection Honor and give more autonomy (in what areas you can give more autonomy?) Decrease control (how can you do that?)  Other Episodes You May Like The Secret To Getting Kids To Listen and Cooperate   Sibling Rivalry: Raising Friends for Life  BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1.

When Your Needs Are Not Met with Yvette Erasmus, PsyD

Yvette Erasmus on what happens when your needs are not fulfilled, the difference between needs and feelings, choicefulness, taking responsibility, stopping playing the victim and much more.  Effective communication is at the heart of strong relationships.  A critical aspect of effective communication is learning how to express our needs. But in order to learn to express first we need to get in touch with our needs.  Communication can come into conflict when needs are unfulfilled. Unmet needs can lead to feelings of anger, confusion, disappointment, frustration, hopelessness, irritation, sadness, loneliness and embarrassment, to name only a few. Fully understanding what we need makes the next step in our communication easier–asking for what we need to enrich life. But it’s not as easy as it sounds.  BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1.

Should You Worry About Kids' Screen Time in This Pandemic? with Anya Kamenetz

How can you set limits around screen time without feeling guilty? What to do when your kid has an explosive reaction when screen time is over? How much is too much and what kind of content is ok? Is Tik Tok inherently bad? Will violent video games cause aggression in kids? These and other important questions in this episode with an education correspondent for NPR and the author of The Art of Screen Time: Digital Parenting without Fear Anya Kamenetz.  With social distancing limiting our ability to connect and physically interact, daily screen time has increased in our lives.  And even before the COVID-19 global pandemic, there were concerns about what screen time is doing to our health. But screens are not inherently bad. And I’m definitely not against them.  My advice to you is:  Use common sense and your own best judgment, know your child, your family, your needs. Prioritize human connections and emotions. Spend time together without screens daily. Protect sleep. Be sure kids have other activities besides screens during the day. It's all about balance.  Be a good role model yourself.   BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1. With your support we can continue the production of the podcast uninterruptedly.

How to Cultivate Self-Love

What is self-love?  Where do the roots of low or lack of self- love originate? Are there degrees of self- love? Is the opposite of self-love self-hatred? Can you love someone if you don’t love yourself fully? How can you cultivate and practice more self-love?  This is the topic of today’s exploration. I’m joined by Nathalie Ellis.  I’d love to hear from you. 3 things I’m particularly interested in:  What’s your understanding of self-love?  Can you love someone if you don’t love yourself?  You have to love yourself before someone else can love you.

The real reason why our kids don’t listen to us and how on earth can we get our children to willingly cooperate without yelling, threats, rewards and punishments? We share 2 real life scenarios from our life and explain how we got our kids to cooperate willingly.  Also, how can we cultivate more self-love by looking at our own unworthiness, shame stories?

3 Steps to Effective Limit Setting

In today's episode I'm helping Adriana, a mom of 2 kids, ages 2 and 4 years old with limit setting. I demystify the limit setting process and ask Adriana to get clear on her why behind saying "no". Setting limits doesn’t have to be unpleasant. You don’t have to be harsh or angry.  It’s all about knowing your why, staying calm and present, communicating the limit with compassion and holding that limit knowing that kids will have emotional reactions. You don’t have to feel guilty or even give in. In fact I suggest using playfulness and humor as strategy. I've created a special playlist on Spotify with all the On-Air-Coaching Episodes of 2019 for easy consumption.  Access it here and enjoy!  Other coaching episodes you may enjoy: {Coaching}Tips to Ease Parental Anxiety and Set Boundaries {Coaching} 5 Stress-Free Ways To Motivate Kids To Clean Up After Themselves {Coaching} 3 Powerful Solutions to Managing Difficult Misbehavior {Coaching} Developing Body Awareness {Coaching} Disagreeing on Discipline?

6 Signs a Marriage is Headed for Divorce with Dr. Elizabeth Cohen

{Coaching} The Performance Trap of Modern Parenthood

Today’s episode is an on air coaching call. I’m helping Jacquie, a working mom of a 3 year old boy.  Some of the themes we explore are:  Jacquie's anxiety. She has struggled with anxiety and depression most of her life but it got worst during pregnancy and after birth became more uncontrollable. Work-motherhood balance. Is it even attainable?  Guilt, how to cope with it?  Worthiness. Are you measuring your worth by your performance?  Parenting is a relationship and for many career, task, achievement, performance oriented people it can be very frustrating and challenging as there are no performance reviews in parenting. There are no measurement of our performance. Many parents get stuck in what I call The Performance Trap. I've created a special playlist on Spotify with all the On-Air-Coaching Episodes of 2019 for easy consumption.  Access it here and enjoy!  Other coaching episodes you may enjoy: {Coaching}Tips to Ease Parental Anxiety and Set Boundaries {Coaching} 5 Stress-Free Ways To Motivate Kids To Clean Up After Themselves {Coaching} 3 Powerful Solutions to Managing Difficult Misbehavior {Coaching} Developing Body Awareness {Coaching} Disagreeing on Discipline?

The Unspoken Truth About The Plight of Modern Motherhood

What you are about to hear is an unexpected conversation that started out as an on air coaching call.  Katie, the mother of 4 children from Australia had signed up to be coached on air a while ago. She has been one of my faithful listeners. I reached out and as she began speaking I soon realized that this not a coaching episode, that  I need to hold space for her to share her story. Because it reminded me of the other stories I hear. Women are struggling. They feel overwhelmed, alone, isolated, drained, needing of emotional support, even those in “happy” marriages.  The emotional load of motherhood is taking a toll on their mental health, well-being, relationships and parenting. The invisible workload of being a mother is killing women.  I do not have a solution but I know that we need to stop this silent epidemic. That’s why we are having conversations. That’s why we are sharing stories. Real stories. Stories that are hard to hear. Stories such as mine, in episode 194, The Dark Side of Motherhood, or Kelly's in episode 202, Setting Healthy Boundaries without Feeling Guilty or Mommy Burnout, episode 144, How To Reclaim Your Life and Raise Healthier Children in The Process.  Today, Katie is joining me from the mental hospital where she checked herself in.  This is one of the heaviest episodes of the podcast and the subject matter and the story it might be triggering, so listener discretion is advised.  Let this brave sharing give voice to the many untold stories of women who are silently suffering under the heavy load of modern motherhood.  Yes, it does take a village to raise children. But where is the village? It’s a ghost town.  BECOME A SUPPORTER OF THE SHOW 1. With your support we can continue the production of the podcast uninterruptedly.

What is Codependency? Signs, Symptoms and Recovery with Darlene Lancer

Do you have a hard time saying to “NO” to people? Do you often sacrifice your own needs to accommodate other people? Do you have a difficulty setting firm boundaries?  Are you unhappy in your relationship but unable to leave?  Does your marriage or relationship take up your thoughts and energy? Are you the one that is constantly making sacrifices in your relationship? Then you may be in a codependent relationship.  The term “codependency” was coined a few decades ago in the context of Alcoholics Anonymous (AA) to acknowledge and support partners of alcoholics and chemical-dependents who were intertwined in the destructive lives of those they loved. Darlene Lancer is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and expert author on relationships and codependency. In this episode she talks about:  What is codependency? What are the symptoms of codependency? What’s the origin of codependency? How does shame play a part in codependency? How does codependency and shame affect relationship? And of course we are talking about recovery-what are some of the steps required for recovery?    FULL SHOW NOTES www.authenticparenting.com/podcast    ***Want to get most out of your listening experience?

You can hold space for their big feelings and support them emotionally. In this on air coaching episode I help Zara, a single mom of a 6 year old boy with those questions.

Why We Need To Connect More with Kristy Lauricella

Our need to connect is as fundamental as our need for food and water. We  have never been so connected technologically in the history of humankind, yet  many of us feel lonely, isolated and disconnected. We don’t just hang out anymore, socialize and play. We are all too busy. In discussing the power of connections and meaningful gatherings we touch upon some topics:    Can you have friendships with an opposite sex outside of your marriage?  Why do women need other women?  The vital role of friendships and why we need to hang out more socially? And is there a secret ingredient for successful gatherings?  Will connecting with others bring more connection with ourselves?  Why do marriages fail?    FULL SHOW NOTES www.authenticparenting.com/podcast    ***Want to get most out of your listening experience?
