Parenting Consciously and One Simple Action that Affects It All | Archived Episode

All the decisions I’ve made over the past decade are fueled by the desire to provide my children as many opportunities as possible.

The world is changing at a rapid pace, and just like we have opportunities that weren’t available to prior generations, our children will have opportunities that weren’t available to us. The key is for us to equip them with the mental strength, self-belief, and communication skills they’ll need to make the best of those opportunities.

In this episode, I’m sharing my thoughts on motherhood and how mindfulness around parenting is propelling my family forward. Change in others begins in you. 

So when we, as mothers, take the time to understand our reactions and assumptions, evaluate what we desire from each situation, implement self-care, and outline behavorial standards for ourselves, we alter the way those around us act. Remember, children do as we do, not as we say.

I want the best for my family, and I know you want the same for yours. All of us want to provide as much education, opportunity, and positivity for our kids as we can.

For many years now, I’ve been emphasizing to my children that everyone has emotions, and it’s okay to express those feelings. By providing the emotional support, open dialogue, and patience we needed as children, we have the opportunity to disrupt negative patterns that were accidentally passed to us by our guardians.

The cycle of broken families, abuse, and neglect ran deep in my family, and I knew I had to do something about it. And I’m willing to bet you have the same thoughts!

As I envision the possibilities for my children, I’m not planning their future career paths or establishing external measurements for succes. Instead, I’m interested in how we can support their mental and emotional growth so they CAN achieve great things along any path they choose. 

In this episode, listen for:

• Concentrate on what is important to me and the people I know
• The gift of seeing the greatness in people and believing but on the other hand can be detrimental to my emotions 
• Giving our children space from them to become the person they’re supposed to be 

In this episode, you’ll also hear:

[8:03] How to make a concerted effort to uplift, instruct, and discipline children with compassion and an understanding of the lasting effects of your actions.

[9:03] Ruling your home with compassion rather than fear. Inevitably, children will require discipline, but how you approach that punishment makes all the difference.
