In this episode, I talk about how important it is to be able to shift focus as a parent. This is not something I was born easily able to do. As a task-oriented, goal-driven, organized person, I know what I want to do and I work hard to accomplish it. Children don't always allow you to achieve those goals and until I realized that and learned how to shift focus, I struggled mightily. I share my story here with you today in the hopes that it helps you get there faster!

I recorded today's episode just a few minutes before I published it.

Today's episode was inspired by taking my son out yesterday to practice parallel parking in preparation for his upcoming driver's test. He was struggling to get the feel of the car just right, and I happened upon this little nugget to help him. Once I did, he parked perfectly within 4-5 inches every time.

In this throwback to episode 10 of Maximizing Life in the Middle, we talk about our annual camping trip that now includes over 35 people most years and how it has changed in the 20+ years we have been doing it. This has been a great opportunity to watch marriages flourish (or perish), watch children grow and see how lives weave together but uniquely on their own journey.

Join us!  For more info on her coaching school, click here.

In today's episode, I continue the discussion from last week about helping our children to build resilience, independence and self-confidence. In order for us to become our teen's Trusted Advisor, we must build trust with them and that cannot be done when we are constantly overreacting to what they do or say. In this episode, I share with you what you can do instead. Join me! 

Today's episode is a throwback to episode 8 that Jay and I did in the Maximizing Life in the Middle podcast. In this episode, we talk about the process of decluttering and all of its benefits to living a higher quality life. When we have excessive "things" in our homes, it not only robs us of space, but it robs us of time as we now have to dedicate time to dealing with all of the "stuff." We talk about how to accomplish keeping an organized and decluttered house with children. Is it possible? Stay tuned to hear what we think and then weigh in by emailing us!

This episode is a throwback to episode 7 of Maximizing Life in the Middle that Jay and I recorded. We recorded this episode at the end of a particularly crazy week for all of us. In this episode, we process the week that we had, and how we navigated it. Sometimes things don’t always turn out the way we envision them, and how do we adjust to that on the fly? We talk about how important mindfulness is to successfully making it through challenging periods of time. We also discuss the “elephant” in the kid’s room – screen time. How do we balance screen time with time in the 3D world, and how do we help our kids balance that as well? Some of the summer-fun things I have done with my kids include games, bike rides, tennis, playing at the park, and watching Dude Perfect videos - my favorite you-tubers!

This is such a common struggle for parents, and when we overreact to our child's poor grade, it helps no one, as it closes down the lines of communication between us, and doesn't help them to do a better job next time. Join me to find out how to navigate this situation in a much more productive way. 

How often do you say "No" to your teen? How does it work for you? In this episode, I explain how we can look at that word as sacred, especially with our teens, and how effective it is to minimize its use. Join me to get some useful nuggets!

She explains brilliantly how we can help our teens practice and strengthen their critical thinking skills, something they will need throughout adulthood.

We talk about how you really pay homage to your loved one and whether it requires a greeting card :) We also cover the 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman and how helpful it is to keep them in mind when trying to show your loved one how you feel. And we remember my dear friend Kerri, who tragically died of breast cancer only a few short years after she married the love of her life. Life is precious – let’s appreciate it while we can.

This episode was inspired by a video I saw from Jay Shetty about what we should really focus on as parents. Hint: often times, it's NOT what we tend to focus on. Join me! 

This is a very special episode, and one I was very much looking forward to. I chatted with my good friend, Aaron Schiller, who shared his family's journey over the past few months through his wife's near-death experience with something that began as the flu. In this episode, Aaron and I talk about the lessons that he has learned thus far and he updates us on how his wife is doing now. We dove deep into the topic of prayer, which was not necessarily our plan. But the conversation turned on to it and it was too beautiful not to share. I hope you get something really valuable out of today's episode.  In the episode, Aaron mentions Love it Forward List, a wonderful organization that has been supporting Aaron's wife Megan with get-well letters from around the world. You can check them out on Instagram here.  Aaron also mentions the great work his wife has done through her work at The Art Pantry. 

I dedicate today's episode to my dad, who was the greatest dad of all time, in my humble opinion.

I hope you find inspiration and joy in this episode. Happy birthday in Heaven, Dad <3

Today's episode is a throwback to Episode 5 from Maximizing Life in the Middle, the podcast that my husband Jay and I did.  In episode 5, we talk about our son's freshman year of high school playing on the varsity volleyball team and helping him to see his frustrations with the season from a different angle so that he could see all the good that came out of it. We can apply this technique in all of our challenging or frustrating situations, even when dealing with a serious illness, loss or something similar. We also talked about a concept we heard about giving 100% of yourself to every interaction you have with another person for an entire day. Could you do it? Finally, we talk about being vigilant about not making negative or limiting statements. They are so subtle sometimes that we might not even recognize them when we say them.

In this episode, I illustrate through a tumultuous yesterday, how important self-care and mindset are. I hope you find some valuable nuggets in here!

Join me! 

My daughter was really nervous last night about her next track tryout tomorrow and whether she will make the team. Through our discussion, I was able to help her to recognize that regardless of whether she makes the team, she's already won because she had the courage to try something new without being assured of the outcome.

Join me in this episode as I talk about this very thing, and also learn a great way to change this dysfunctional dance in your home!

In this episode, I talk about a walking meditation and invite you to do one!

In this episode, Jay and I share an injury that our daughter sustained this week and how we helped her through it, as well as what we and she learned along the way. Join us!

Money can be a complicated thing and as parents, it is imperative that we teach our children about it. But first, we must try to develop a healthy relationship with it. Having a healthy relationship with money is a vital life skill that we need to impart to our children to help them to launch into adulthood. I hope this inspires you to start talking about this big topic if you have not yet already!

I recorded today's episode the morning I published it. It is Wednesday, and two of my three kids have yet to go to school this week. So far, we've had a holiday, a sick day and now a snow day. If I didn't learn how to surrender years ago, my head might be exploding today! I share my journey in the hopes that it helps you, too!

Does your young child ever have BIG emotions that leave you puzzled and  a bit shocked at the magnitude of it all? In this episode, I share a listener question that I got in the hopes that it helps you, too!

Do you need a few minutes just to quiet your racing mind? If so, you came to the right place! Join me as I take you through the Platform Technique to accomplish just that! 

How do we do all that we do? It takes a village to raise a child and we couldn't do it without Jay's wonderful mom! She is always there to help us with our kids and their schedules. It also takes a good deal of "calendar syncing" to make sure we are doing what we want to do and making sure everyone gets where they need to be.  One of the most fundamental beliefs we share is that we each chose to spend our lives with the other one of us. Who are we to tell the other person how they should be spending their time? If the activity makes the other person happy and can fit in with our lifestyle, why not? And then, with all that we have going on, how do we not become ships passing in the night?

In episode #3 of Maximizing Life in the Middle (throwback) we talk about a stand that our daughter and her classmates took to be allowed to wear tank tops to school when the weather gets warm. The initial reason years ago for banning tank tops in her school was so that boys would not be "distracted" by seeing girls' shoulders. At what point does it stop being the girl's responsibility to not be a distraction and instead become a boy's responsibility to not be distracted by the girl? We also talk about how each individual is responsible for their own behavior and should not blame their choices on another person. We cannot control what happens in the world; we can only control our own response. Join us!

Do you ever find yourself amazed at what you learn from your child? In today's episode, Jay shares something that one of children taught him and how that reinforced his desire to stay open to learning from them whenever possible. Join us as we dive in!

Do you struggle with social media use with your children? In this episode, I share a story about my younger son and his social media use, my feelings about it and how we moved forward even though he was not happy with me. It is vital that as parents we monitor their social media use, not only to keep them safe, but also to help them develop sound judgment. Join me!

In today's episode, I share a story about how I am teaching my daughter many lessons through a project we are working on. She is learning about the value of money, mindfulness about possessions, and entrepreneurship. Join me! 

In today's episode, I share a story that happened with my son in order to illustrate how we can take almost any situation and turn it into gold for us as parents and for our children. It is vital that as parents we protect their fragile and developing sense of self. Join me!

In this episode, I make a confession. None of us are perfect, and I certainly don't claim to be. So join me as I confess my recent shortfall and vow to do better moving forward. 

In this mashup episode, we talk about how things might have fit in one phase of our lives but no longer fit or how we would love them to fit but they don’t quite yet. The phrase “have it all” should be changed to “have all that you want” because if you try to have it all, your life will be over-stuffed and stressful and much of “it” is not even something that fits your life anyway. At the end of this episode, we offer our listeners a useful activity they can do to take a good look at their lives.

My husband Jay and I have a podcast called Maximizing Life in the Middle. We have decided to merge the two together into Powerful Parenting for Today's Kids. I am going to be sharing our MLIM episodes with you here. Here is episode 1 that we recorded over year ago. I hope you enjoy! 

In today's episode, I introduce you to a very special guest who I think may end up being a regular ;)  Join us! And here is the recipe we talked about - https://www.vitamix.com/us/en_us/recipes/roasted-red-pepper-soup

Too often, I hear parents bashing social media and technology as the enemy to parenting. But when you look at things like that, it prevents you from seeing how you can use it to your advantage. Join me as I share with you how I use text messaging to my advantage in parenting my kids. 

Now that I've come to the end of my Whole30 adventure, I wanted to update you on how it went, what my results were and how I feel now. After listening to this episode, I dare you not to jump on board and try Whole30 for yourself!

I have a very special guest with me today. Matt Beaudreau, who runs Acton Academy Placer, a fantastic outside-the-box school the nurtures their students' strengths and brings out the best in them. In this interview, Matt shares wisdom for how parents and traditional-school teachers can bring out the best in our children. You are NOT going to want to miss this! If you'd like to connect with Matt, you can find him at https://www.mattbeaudreau.com/ and if you would like to learn more about his school you can do so here - https://www.actonplacer.com/.

I have not done an episode like this for a while, so I knew it was time. As parents, we tend to be so hard on ourselves and can get overly focused on the times we mess up while not giving ourselves credit for our successes and triumphs. If this describes you, PLEASE tune in to today's episode. It may be JUST what you needed to hear today!

I was recently interview by Linda Grasso of the SheSez podcast over at https://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/shesez-with-linda-grasso/id1281371313?mt=2. We talked about some listener questions and I wanted to share one of them with you here. How do you handle it when your child only wants to invite a few friends to his party but the teacher expects all children in the class to be invited? Listen as I share my answer!

Today, I am sharing a very real challenge we are having in our home with helping our son to navigate the beginnings of the college search process. This is the beginning of two years of focusing on this until he transitions to whatever college he ends up attending. There is a lot of stress involved in this long-term process, and I am sharing it all with you here today in the hopes that it helps or inspires any of you listening.

In this episode, I ask you some questions to consider your relationship with money over this past year. Join me!

I was recently talking to two moms who expressed frustration that their children do not open up to them. What we discovered is that fear was driving them to question their kids, which never gets us closer to our goals as parents.
