Hope is like a muscle – if we want to strengthen it, we’ve got to train it.  And it's so much more than a wish or a want.  Hope is an embodied confidence in God – even when things aren’t going our way.  And because it’s a skill, we can teach our kids how to be hopeful.   In today’s episode you’ll learn why reminding our kids of the seasonal and cyclical nature of life is so important to cultivating hope.  I also coach on how we can lovingly hold space for our children so they know they don’t have to face anything in life alone. And finally, we discuss how teaching them to question their thoughts can change the way they see the world and strengthen their hope.   Episode 58 – Encouraging Optimism Without Toxic Positivity From Helplessness to Optimism Study TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ - Personality Quiz 1-ON-1 COACHING: From Insight to Outcome - Life Coaching with Michelle CHECK OUT MY FREE 5-STEP MORNING ROUTINE FOR MOMS: My 5-Step Morning Routine MOTHERHOOD VILLAGE FB COMMUNITY: The Motherhood Village MOTHERHOOD INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach   “I love The Motherhood Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!-- → Learn more and join Burnout Recovery Blueprint

Real talk – I’m the parent of a picky eater, and it can be so frustrating. If any of you have faced mealtime meltdowns, picky-eating battles, non-stop snackers, or kids who refuse to touch anything green, this episode is for you!   Courtney Bliss, Pediatric Dietician and founder of Feeding Bliss, is changing the narrative around healthy eating.  Her perspective is so refreshing as she shares insight and practical tips on how we can all raise great eaters without pressure, bribing, manipulation, or guilt.   Three things you’ll learn in this episode: How to approach selective (picky) eating How to introduce non-preferred/new foods Why we should avoid labeling foods as healthy/unhealthy, good/bad, etc. To connect with Courtney, head to: Her website: https://feedingbliss.com/ IG: @feedingbliss Picky Eating Blog Book a Free Call with Courtney   “It's this idea that we have - eat your dinner, and then you get your sweets. Have the body that you want, and then you get happiness. Have these perfect, organic, balanced meals that Goop is telling you about, and then your children will be angels. It is such a mind trap! But if you teach your kids to listen to themselves, and if you do that work in yourself - if you bust some of those myths of being perfect enough, looking the right way, serving the right foods - you will do such a service for your children.” – Courtney Bliss     TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ - Personality Quiz 1-ON-1 COACHING: From Insight to Outcome - Life Coaching with Michelle CHECK OUT MY FREE 5-STEP MORNING ROUTINE FOR MOMS: My 5-Step Morning Routine MOTHERHOOD VILLAGE FB COMMUNITY: The Motherhood Village MOTHERHOOD INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach   “I love The Motherhood Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!-- → Learn more and join Burnout Recovery Blueprint

Compassion is the ability to be with someone else in their pain.  And the degree to which our kids are comfortable with their own emotions, is the degree to which they can hold space for others.    So, if we want our kids to be compassionate – getting in the muck and mire of human emotions with others – they’re going to need to learn how to be with uncomfortable emotions.   In today’s episode you’ll learn why we want to teach our kids compassion instead of sympathy (and why the difference is critical).  I also coach on how we can safely expose our children to others’ suffering, so they can practice compassion. And finally, we discuss how showing compassion in our discipline can be one of our greatest opportunities as parents.   TAKE THE PERSONALITY PATTERN QUIZ - Personality Quiz 1-ON-1 COACHING: From Insight to Outcome - Life Coaching with Michelle CHECK OUT MY FREE 5-STEP MORNING ROUTINE FOR MOMS: My 5-Step Morning Routine MOTHERHOOD VILLAGE FB COMMUNITY: The Motherhood Village MOTHERHOOD INSTAGRAM: @michellegrosser.coach “I love The Motherhood Podcast!” ← if that sounds like you, please consider rating and reviewing our show!  This helps us support more women, just like you, on their motherhood journey.  Click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select “Write a Review.”  Then be sure to let me know what you loved most about the episode!-- → Learn more and join Burnout Recovery Blueprint
