Authentic Parenting

Setting limits is an essential and important part of parenting. How can you set effective and firm limits without yelling, threats, bribes and harshness? How can you hold that limit without giving in and learn to say “No” without feeling bad? Your child may not be happy and that’s OK. You can hold space for their big feelings and support them emotionally. In this on air coaching episode I help Zara, a single mom of a 6 year old boy with those questions.

What is intuition? Can you grow it? Who has it? Are you an empath? Are highly sensitive people more intuitive? How about children? Men vs women?  Do you use your intuition while making important decisions?  Julie Cusmariu, host of the Julie in Conversation Podcast helps us see the connection between authenticity and intuition.  I share a cringe worthy confession...And towards the end Julie does an impromptu intuitive reading for me. You don’t want to miss.    FULL SHOW NOTES www.authenticparenting.com/podcast    ***Want to get most out of your listening experience?

Our need to connect is as fundamental as our need for food and water. We  have never been so connected technologically in the history of humankind, yet  many of us feel lonely, isolated and disconnected. We don’t just hang out anymore, socialize and play. We are all too busy. In discussing the power of connections and meaningful gatherings we touch upon some topics:    Can you have friendships with an opposite sex outside of your marriage?  Why do women need other women?  The vital role of friendships and why we need to hang out more socially? And is there a secret ingredient for successful gatherings?  Will connecting with others bring more connection with ourselves?  Why do marriages fail?    FULL SHOW NOTES www.authenticparenting.com/podcast    ***Want to get most out of your listening experience?
