In this episode, Tara interviews Stephanie Rosenfield, a former speech pathologist turned life coach for overwhelmed moms and host of the podcast "The Five Minute Shift for Moms." Her journey from overwhelmed mom to life coach will have you nodding your head. She shares her unique concept of the three buckets of emotional management - emotional diffusion, self-regulation, and connection. This doesn't mean being calm all the time, but rather being in control of oneself in challenging situations.

Tara and Stephanie agreed that traditional parenting scripts often fall short, and the importance of focusing on the parent-child relationship and building each other up is key. They discussed the significance of timing when communicating with children, especially when it comes to discipline.

Stephanie introduced the concept of different communication, highlighting that many people were never taught how to effectively communicate with their loved ones. She shared an example of a client who used to yell from upstairs to call her kids, and how she helped her change this pattern. Tara and Stephanie shared personal experiences of realizing that their previous approaches were not effective and that buying time until everyone is calm and ready to listen is crucial.

If you need help to stop losing your sh*t, parent the way you want, and start enjoying your family, listen to this episode!
