In this episode, we’re talking about something that sits at the heart of connected parenting: your emotional capacity. Your ability to feel your own emotions directly shapes how you help your children navigate theirs.I’m sharing the exact moment a client realized why she kept snapping at her kids, and how one shift opened the door to calmer, more connected parenting. We’ll walk through what emotional capacity really means, why it matters so much, and how to grow it in practical, doable ways.Inside the episode, you’ll learn:Why “trying not to get triggered” doesn’t workThe difference between suppressing emotions and expanding your capacityHow your child’s big feelings bump into your limitsWhat actually creates emotional safety for kidsThe eight emotional capacities that change how you parentWhy repair is often more powerful than getting it perfectHow to hold space for your child without absorbing their stormThe tiny daily practices that build real emotional strengthYou’ll hear stories from my own life, Target meltdowns, the baby powder blizzard, hiking to Machu Picchu, as well as real client breakthroughs that show what’s possible when you learn to feel your emotions without being ruled by them.This episode will help you understand yourself more clearly, stay steadier in the hard moments, and create a home where big feelings aren’t something to fear… they’re something you can navigate with confidence.Because in parenting, you can’t teach what you can’t feel, and feeling more is what makes connection possible.Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

Ep #203 The Questions Quietly Running Your Parenting
In this episode, I’m diving into something you probably didn’t realize is shaping your parenting every single day…the quiet questions running in the background of your brain.Most parents think the problem is their kids’ behavior. But so much of what we experience as “hard parenting moments” comes from the questions we’re unconsciously asking ourselves—questions like:Why can’t they just listen?What’s wrong with me?Why is everything so hard?And here’s the kicker:Your brain will always answer the question you give it.If the question is negative, the answer will be too.Today, I’m sharing a story from New Zealand (yes, the Cathedral Caves saga!) where one powerful pause and a handful of compassionate questions completely shifted a moment of frustration between me and my daughter.You’ll learn:Why “Is this true?” might be the most liberating question you ever ask.How to catch the sneaky questions that are sabotaging your parenting.The three coaching questions I use daily to regulate, reflect, and reconnect.Why being an observer of your own mind is the actual parenting superpower.How to reframe disempowering questions into ones your brain can actually work with.Plus, I’ll give you a handful of empowering questions you can start using right away to shift your mindset, calm your nervous system, and bring more connection (and ease!) into your home.This work is life-changing. And the best part?It starts with just one better question.Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

Ep #202 Redeciding: Tiny Choices That Change Everything
In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most powerful tools you already have but probably aren’t using enough: redeciding.Redeciding is the moment you pause, question the default, and choose again—on purpose. It’s how you reinvent yourself, your parenting, your routines, and your reactions… without blowing up your whole life.I share a few recent moments that pushed me to look at my old stories (like “I’m bad at tech” or “I can’t learn new things”) and what changed when I stopped believing them. This is the work we do in CMP: noticing the patterns that keep us stuck and choosing something better.In this episode:Why you’re allowed to start over anytimeHow tiny decisions create massive reinventionThe stories we inherit—and how to let them goWhat to do when you feel stuck in old parenting habitsHow to redesign your relationship with each childWhy failures are evidence of growth, not proof of inadequacyYou’re not stuck. You’re just one redecision away from a different outcome.Let’s make the last two months of the year the best ones yet.Go connect with your kids. And let’s reinvent together.Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

Ep #201 Pivot Live: The Power of Showing Up Weekly
The people who transform their lives? They're not smarter than you. They're not more motivated. They're not reading more books or listening to more podcasts.They're the ones showing up every single week to get coached on their real life.Here's what I've discovered after seven years of teaching Connect Method Parenting: you can understand every concept I teach and still find yourself yelling when your kid won't put their shoes on Tuesday morning.There's this massive gap between knowing what to do and being able to do it in the moment when you're triggered.What closes that gap isn't more information. It's the weekly rhythm of learning something, watching it get applied to someone else's situation, then trying it in your own life. That's it. Learning, repetition, application.That's why I'm doing Pivot Live, eight weeks where we meet every Wednesday at 1 PM Eastern starting November 16th. Small group. Cameras on. You're committing to show up.You'll mess up Monday morning. You'll bring it to our call Wednesday. We'll work through it together. And Thursday you'll handle it differently.If you're new to CMP, you'll go through the Pivot week by week with the group. If you've already done it, come as a repeater and just bring whatever you're working on.The details: $199 for 8 weeks | First lesson November 16th, first call November 19th | Register at https://cmp.works/pivotIn the next episode, I'll break down the actual CMP concepts we'll be diving into.Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

Ep #200 Fight-or-Flight Club (Rule #1: We Actually Leave)
This episode is one I've been wanting to do for a while because thought work is truly the foundation of everything we do in Connect Method Parenting. And I know "thought work" might sound intimidating or like some woo-woo concept, but I promise you—it's the most practical, life-changing tool you can have as a parent.The biggest problem isn't that we go into fight or flight. Nope...it's that we never come OUT of fight or flight. And that's exactly what thought work helps us change.I'm sharing my entire 15+ year journey of discovering thought work—from stumbling on Viktor Frankl and Byron Katie as a young, struggling mom to building the STEER tool and Daily Peace process that thousands of parents now use every day.Here's what we cover:What thought work actually is (and why it's not just "thinking positive thoughts")How I reverse-engineered my Baby Powder Blizzard miracle momentThe science behind why thought work works: mirror neurons, neural pathways, and the nervous systemWhy who you're BEING matters infinitely more than what you're DOINGHow thoughts create emotions, emotions fuel actions, and actions create your resultsThe power of becoming the "watcher" of your own lifeHow to use thought work even when (especially when) you're triggered by your teenagerYou can read every parenting book, memorize all the scripts, and understand child development backwards and forwards, but if you don't understand how to align who you're BEING with the highest, most loving version of yourself, you're still going to struggle.I'm sharing stories from a family trip, where I had to excuse myself from the room to do my own Daily Peace process. Because guess what? There's always another level of emotional maturity we can reach as parents. This work never stops, and that's actually beautiful.One of my favorite insights from this episode:"The more I think I need to hurry, the more I need to slow down. If I don't feel like I have time for thought work, that's exactly when I know I really need it."Key Takeaways:✨ Thoughts are OPTIONAL—you get to decide what you believe ✨ Your nervous system is broadcasting an emotional frequency that your kids pick up on (thank you, mirror neurons) ✨ Thought work isn't about perfection—it's about awareness and compassion ✨ When you witness yourself without judgment, everything changes ✨ The goal isn't to always be regulated; it's to become skilled at repairing when you're notTools I Mention:STEAR - My signature thought awareness toolDaily PEACE - The complete process that includes STEER plus emotional processingThe Six Acceptance Questions - From Chapter 3 of my bookBottom line: This is THE most important skill you can develop as a parent. Once you understand how your thoughts create your emotions, which fuel your actions, which create your results... you'll never see parenting (or life) the same way again.If this episode resonated with you, please leave a review! It helps us reach more parents who are ready to break free from the yelling-guilt-repeat cycle.And remember: go connect with your kids. ❤️Learn more here --> https://connectmethodparenting.comNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista
