Dr. Kristin Neff is widely recognized as one of the world’s leading experts on self-compassion, being the first one to operationally define and measure the construct over a decade ago. In addition to her pioneering research into self-compassion, she has developed an eight-week program to teach self-compassion skills in daily life, co-created with her colleague Dr. Chris Germer, called Mindful Self-Compassion (MSC). Her book, Self-Compassion, was published by William Morrow in April, 2011.   SUPPORT THE AUTHENTIC PARENTING PODCAST ON PATREON!!! Has the show been of value to you? Do you find the show helpful?

Super Joe Pardo talks openly about the realities of balancing a growing business with a growing family (toddler and a newborn). Try to hold a toddler in your arms while keeping an eye on a sleeping newborn while conducing a video interview. As much as Joe loves working from home and being part of his famille's life, some things had to change in order to maximize productivity and focus. He went from having an open door policy office, aka their dining room, which was turned into his office to a more defined space in their house -his wife’s scrapbooking room. Even though he feels a lot better and gets a lot of work done, he misses being in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the family happenings.    SUPPORT THE AUTHENTIC PARENTING PODCAST ON PATREON!!!

Mickie Zada  chose to stay in a damaging relationship for 34 years because she thought it was her Calling.  She believed it was her responsibility to keep her husband between the lines. While living in abuse, for decades she didn’t recognize herself as an abused spouse. She was not threatened with weapons, was not hospitalized, never called law enforcement and did not file a restraining order against her husband. She was the strong one, the grounded one, the dedicated wife. She was in love. When she left, she wondered (like nearly every abuse survivor) whether she was really abused. So many years were invested in protecting her abuser that she felt guilty defending herself by leaving. Are you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence?    SUPPORT THE AUTHENTIC PARENTING PODCAST ON PATREON!!! Has the show been of value to you? Do you find the show helpful?

This is our monthly special episode where I co-host the show with another colleague.  We have 3 segments Examples from Our Homes What’s Up with You? Answering listener parenting questions Favorite Finds In the first segment, I tell a story about a delayed Christmas gift I had ordered for my daughter. How she reacted triggered past hurts in me and I was stuck. It is hard to parent peacefully and respond respectfully when our wounds get triggered. Parenting is an emotional job. This experience has not only enabled me to face my own unresolved issues but also it served as a catalyst for me to open up and share a painful story from my past. We often feel like as parents we need to hide our stories, our past. When we share parts of us with our children we invite them into our lives and it gives them a different perspective. After I shared my story, my daughter was touched and the connection between us just got deeper.  Have you ever shared parts of you with your child? How did it go? How did you child respond? What did you feel?  Laura shares a story related to their recent trip to Disney. Key takeaways from her story are: let's allow children to go through their own experiences  connect to your child's inner experience and do not invalidate their fears  appreciate who your child is and don't try to change her For FULL show notes where you can see the picture of the rain boots, read about Laura, get the links and resources we have mentioned and more, CLICK HERE.  Thanks for listening!
