Empowering Teens: The Attitude Advantage
On today's episode, I speak with Jesse LeBeau who takes us on an inspiring journey as he shares his story of triumph against all odds. His remarkable tale serves as a reminder that no dream is too big to achieve. With a contagious "ATTITUDE IS EVERYTHING" message, he imparts the wisdom of unlocking one's true potential and igniting hope and confidence in both parents and children. By highlighting the significance of hard work, fostering a winning mindset, and harnessing the power of storytelling, Jesse empowers parents to guide their children through life's challenges. By instilling resilience and determination, they can pave the way for their children's ultimate happiness and fulfillment.

Resolving Conflicts
Toxic Family Dynamics
Many among us have grown up in atmospheres that instilled us with damaging lessons and unhealthy methods of coping — lessons we are striving to unlearn to prevent the repetition of the same patterns with our children.
Today, I discuss signs of toxic family dynamics and strategies to overcome them
.
If any signs of toxic family dynamics from your childhood resonate with you, it might be high time to face them head-on. It's time to reparent those parts of yourself that lacked the necessary nurturing during your formative years.

Invisible Labor
As parents we do so much, and many of the things we do is considered "invisible labor." Invisible labor is work that we do for our kids, for our families, that tends to not get noticed. We as mothers, parents, and default parents do a lot on a day-to-day, so lets show each other some grace. Let's give ourselves credit for all the hard work we do behind the scenes!

Spending Less In Expensive Times
There is no denying that just about everything is more expensive these days. Prices for everyday items have skyrocketed, and wages are not keeping up. Many families are having to adjust their lifestyles and spending habits to match this new economic reality.

Today I speak with Julie-Anne Rioux, owner of Eco Chick Fashion. she discusses various ways parents can save, especially in clothing purchases. Eco Chick Fashion is a gently preloved online clothing store for babies and toddlers, which save parents hundreds in clothing costs.

There's Only One You!
Self-care is defined as "the practice of taking action to preserve or improve one's own health." As mothers...and parents in general...we tend to shy away from self care and focus on the care of our children and family. We put everyone ahead of us, but we forget you can't pour from an empty cup. Today I speak with licensed Mental Health Counselor Elli Assiobo-Tipoh on the topic of Self Care, it's importance and NOT feeling guilty about taking care of yourself!
