172. Building Confidence w/ Kristi Simon

In this episode I am joined by Kristi Simon, a teen confidence coach.

In this conversation Kristi and I dive into what confidence is and how we can help our teens grow their sense of confidence.

Kristi shares her story about how avoiding her feelings lead to self-destructive behaviors and her journey back to herself.

We discuss emotional intelligence and its impact on mental health.

Kristi is a wife, and a mom of two, Hendrix (3 years old) and Beatrix (1 year old). After the birth of her son in 2020, she began imperfectly creating change in her life, these changes, although for a better life, were met with many challenges along the way. Looking back it is clear that the breakdowns she faced were necessary to reveal the breakthroughs that continue to help her on her journey towards living in alignment with what her soul truly desires and to inspire others to do the same.

As a certified teacher and holistic health coach, she is beginning to truly embody what she is really passionate about teaching and sharing, healing our body, mind, and soul, with practices that allow us to truly come home to our most authentic self. Ways she loves sharing her gifts - on her podcast Confident Teen, in her book Body Bliss 2 - and through her teen life and confidence coaching business at Teach with Love.

168. Taking Ownership of Your Health & Fitness w/Adrianna Mastronardi

On today’s episode I am joined by health and fitness coach Adriana Mastronardi.

How do busy moms find time to focus on their own health and fitness? How do we stay consistent with our health and fitness goals? Adriana breaks it down for us in this episode.

Adriana is an Environmental Engineer with a master’s degree in environmental health. In 2008, she quit her job as an engineer to pursue her passion for teaching. After her 3rd child was born, she felt that she got lost in the shuffle of raising a family and working full time. So, she set out on a journey of re-discovery. She found fitness and quickly fell in love with getting strong. She fell in love with taking care of herself first, so she could show up for those that are important to her in the right ways.

Through her journey, she realized her passion for helping other women feel good in their bodies, so she completed a nutrition coaching certification and her personal training license. She wants other women to understand the importance of making time for themselves, while using fitness and nutrition to help guide that process.

Today’s episode is a conversation with one of my mentors, Heather Chauvin, and fellow coach Kristi Simons. In this episode we talk about:

· Learning how to understand your child or teen’s feelings and actions, so you can respond thoughtfully instead of reacting quickly.

· Discover ways to handle your own intense feelings and build a stronger connection with your child/teen.

· Learn strategies for effective communication in co-parenting, especially when both parents have different parenting styles.

162. Co-Parenting w/Mikki Gardner

Today’s episode is with guest Mikki Gardner. Our conversation was all about how to co-parent well, how people pleasing gets in the way of our peace, triggers, and more. This was a very informative conversation.

Mikki is a Certified Life + Conscious Parenting Coach, a mom, speaker, and host of the Co-Parenting with Confidence Podcast and author of the People Pleaser’s Guide to Co-Parenting Well.

Mikki’s personal struggles with divorce motivated her to become a “better mom” so that she could better help her son overcome the challenges of their new family dynamic. Drawing on her academic background, professional training and personal experience, she empowers other moms to move beyond the overwhelming obstacles of co-parenting and thrive after divorce.

Mikki strives to guide moms to navigate the divorce & co-parenting drama by becoming calm, confident co-parents, even without their ex’s participation.

Mikki is on a mission to help children by helping their moms learn to handle the emotional and practical difficulties of divorce and co-parenting while creating an intentional, joyful, and ease-filled life for both themselves and their children.

155. Perfection & The Power of Noticing

Do you relate to perfection? The need to be a certain way or do things a certain way so as to not feel judged by the world? I have been known to say (quite often) that I am a recovering perfectionist. I now realize that when I can notice where perfection shows up, acknowledge it and work with it I can continue to move the needle in the direction of my truth. In this episode I talk about how perfection showed up for me last week and how I am working with it.

I was a chronic worrier. On today's episode we will dive into chronic worrying and how healthy boundaries freed me from this negative, automatic pattern that kept me stuck for decades.

In this episode we break down what keeps us driven to stay busy. Busy offers validation and a sense that we are important and matter. It’s rival is Boundaries. What keeps us leaning into busy and away from boundaries?

In this episode, we are diving into our relationship with Busy, Boundaries and Ourselves.

#143. 3 Gifts We All Have

As humans we all have 3 jobs. These are the gifts we all innately have – To THINK, to FEEL, To DO.

We live in a culture that values thinking and doing but falls short when it comes to feeling. We tend to leave out the feeling and do anything to keep it at bay.  Rejecting this deep, intimate part of ourselves leads us to over-thinking and over-doing to compensate for avoiding feeling. Feeling is Uncomfortable. However, if we are honest with ourselves, how many of us are truly comfortable in our current life?

Over-thinking often has us in decision fatigue. Can you relate to not wanting to make another decision? Or feeling agitated every time your child asks you something?

Over-doing has us exhausted. Do you feel the urge to look “busy” whenever someone is near? Do you have the feeling of “being in trouble” or feeling “guilty” if you don’t have all those things checked off your to do list by the end of the day or week?

Do you define success in how much you achieve, produce, accomplish or how much you do for others?

On today’s episode we are bridging the gap between thinking and doing and stepping into becoming WHOLE humans. This is where fulfillment is experienced.

135. "They Need to Learn Right from Wrong" (Is it true?)

When I talk about conscious parenting or connected relationships parents and teachers alike repeat this statement with conviction, “But they need to learn right from wrong.” I totally get it. I too was quite attached to this belief. And of course, we want our children to be accepted into society. We want our children to take ownership of their own behaviors. We all want to live in safe, compassionate environments. My question is what is EFFECTIVE in accomplishing those goals?

On this episode I challenge this popular belief and offer a SHIFT in perspective.

The Power of Vulnerability (A personally vulnerable episode)

The Power of Vulnerability (A personally vulnerable episode)

Most of us grew up around the message or some version of vulnerability being a weakness. We tend to see weakness as something bad or wrong, something we don’t want to be. We cover these so-called weaknesses up and hide behind what we think we’re supposed to be in order to be accepted. It forms shame around the parts of us that are deemed as bad or wrong. These are the parts of us that got us in trouble. It forms shame.

This is a generational pattern. In today’s episode I share my story of generational shame and the hurtful patterns it created and were passed from generation to generation UNTIL I got a wakeup call. My children are my greatest blessings and my catalyst for growth. They rocked my world so I could open up to a new more authentic self.  I FINALLY LISTENED TO THEM.

Bridging the Gap Between Anger & Compassion
May 08, 202333:56
132. The Bridge

132. The Bridge

Do you often gain information and then wonder, "How do I integrate this into my life?" I mean, it all makes sense but then what?

Yes, it all starts with new information but there is a difference between having a new mindset and integrating new skills into daily living.

In today's episode we are exploring how to BRIDGE the gap:

*From drama to empowerment

* From the old model (of blame and defense) to the new model (of ownership and connection)

* From power struggles to collaboration

*From "I'm not good enough" to "I am worthy."

* From anger to compassion

*From dysregulation to self-regulation


On today's episode we will discuss how reinvention coaching is the bridge. So, POWERFUL!

Reinvention allows you to see yourself, others and the world from a new lens AND supports you in integrating AND embodying new skills. So you not only know them, you live them. POSSIBILITY is just a call away.

Schedule a free 30 minute call to see if Reinvention is right for you: https://www.dianesorensen.net/
