In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Dr. Catherine Kizana—doctor, parent coach, and advocate for helping parents thrive—to talk about what it truly means to be a “good enough” parent.
Drawing on attachment research and her coaching experience, Catherine reminds us that parenting isn’t about being flawless. It’s about being present, embracing the power of repair when we make mistakes, and meeting our children’s real needs—not the ones we think we should meet.
We also tackle one of the biggest traps parents fall into: comparison.
Catherine shares how to stop comparing your inner struggles to the perfect-looking lives of others on social media and start focusing on what really matters in your family.
If you’re tired of the constant pressure to do more, be more, and keep up, this episode will help you step back, breathe, and parent from a place of connection and confidence.
Tune in now to take the first step in letting go of comparison and embracing the messy, beautiful journey of being “good enough". Yesss.

This episode is inspired by a really thoughtful comment from a listener on our last episode over on YouTube.
They asked about one of the toughest parenting challenges: how to handle meltdowns when your child gets physically aggressive—hitting, kicking, or even breaking things.
Parenting through aggression and meltdowns is arguably the hardest thing we face.
Alex (the husband's back!) and I dive into the question from a listener: How do you handle it when a child melts down and gets physically aggressive?
We’re sharing our own experiences with this, including how we’ve navigated hitting, kicking, and even destructive behaviour using emotional intelligence and compassion.
We go through step-by-step strategies for handling those tough moments—like during transitions or when switching off a device—while holding firm boundaries around unsafe or hurtful actions.
We also clear up some big confusion around consequences: when they’re helpful, when they’re not, and why punishments and holding a grudge can actually backfire.
If you’ve ever struggled to keep your cool during your child’s meltdowns, this episode is full of relatable insights and practical tips to help you feel more calm and in control.

Welcome back, everyone! This week, we're diving into a topic that hits home for so many of us: how we talk about food with our kids (and perhaps even around them when we think they’re not listening).
I’m joined by the fabulous Fiona Kane, an award-winning Nutritional Medicine Practitioner and Mind Body Eating Coach, and we explored how our words and attitudes around food can set the stage for our kids’ relationship with eating (and emotions!) - and yes, how we can keep it healthy too.
We’ll chat about the accidental ways we nudge our kids toward emotional eating (who knew?), how our own beliefs about food can rub off on them, and why asking open-ended questions can be a game-changer for a more mindful approach.
Fiona, who’s been all over Sky News Australia, 9 News, and ABC Radio, brings her practical tips on breaking habits like boredom eating and finding joy outside of food—for both us and the kids.
So, if you’re looking to raise happy, healthy eaters (or tackle a few food habits of your own), plug in!
This episode is packed with aha moments and doable steps to help the whole family enjoy a balanced relationship with food. I loved our conversation and I know you will too.

Today, we're pulling back the curtain on our parenting - and let’s just say, it wasn’t all sunshine and Instagram-worthy moments.
This is a bunch of things we wish we knew when we first became parents...
With Alex's childhood blueprint and programming the *polar opposite* of mine, we had a lot to unlearn (and re-learn) when it came to navigating the chaos of parenthood together.
We talk about: - How giving each other space saved us from spiralling arguments. - Why you should never take your kids’ words, or your partner’s emotions, personally. - Alex’s journey to taking accountability and breaking the cycle of reactive behaviour. - My struggle to ask for help and express my feelings (spoiler: it wasn’t pretty). - The power of understanding emotional hijacks and knowing when to step out of the situation- How to “strike when the iron is cold.” to prevent shame, blame and basically more conflict.
We’ll also explore how his upbringing (where emotions basically didn't exist) impacted our dynamic and how we’ve worked to defuse problems before they explode into snapping and snowballing.
It’s real, raw, and maybe even a little uncomfortable—but if you’ve ever felt like you’re failing as a parent or partner, trust us, you’re not alone. Tune in for honest lessons, practical tips, and a whole lot of heart.
Hope you guys enjoy.

Today I’m sharing an episode where I was the guest – being interviewed by JoAnn Crohn and Brie Tucker on the No Guilt Mom podcast.
So, you’ve decided you want a happier, calmer, and more connected family, eh? Well, friend, welcome to the rollercoaster ride known as “parenting with emotional intelligence.”
Parenting often involves navigating different styles, which, being 100% honest, can sometimes feel like you and your partner are in a three-legged race…on ice.
Emotional intelligence helps you understand each other’s perspectives and find common ground. Just imagine your kid having the ability to understand and manage their emotions while empathizing with others. Sounds like a dream, right?
By nurturing emotional intelligence, you’re not just preparing them for playground politics but equipping them for life’s bigger challenges. Plus, who wouldn’t want a kid who can articulate their feelings instead of falling apart or throwing things in fits of anger?
So, if you’re dreaming of a happier, calmer, and more connected family, emotional intelligence is your secret weapon. Trust me, the journey might be bumpy, but the destination is oh-so-worth it.
Who knows, you might even become that zen parent who handles those spaghetti-throwing incidents with a smile. Now, that’s emotional intelligence at work!

Today I’m pulling back the curtain on my own experience with anxiety and how I overcame it with Emotional Intelligence.
From my early years as a shy, anxious kid to the struggles it brought me as a teen and adult — especially when it came to school, confidence, and building my career — I’m sharing it all. Why? Because I know so many of you, whether as parents or individuals, are grappling with anxiety, too.
I explore the different types of anxiety disorders (yes, there’s more than one!) and dig into the problematic thinking patterns that underpin and fuel anxiety. This gives you such a clear window into seeing how an anxious child thinks and perceives the world around them.
Whether you’ve experienced anxiety yourself or you want to understand your kids through it, this episode is packed with insights, personal stories, and practical advice to help you build a life of calm and confidence.

Have you ever wondered how to transition from managing your kids to supporting them as they grow into adults?
In this episode of the Emotionally Intelligent Parenting Podcast, I chat with Amy Sargent, SEI Coach and Executive Director of the Institute for Social and Emotional Intelligence. Amy shares how she used emotional intelligence with her older kids—owning her own feelings, creating space for their emotions, and still holding them accountable.
This conversation is packed with valuable insights for parents of both teens and tweens, as we explore how parenting roles shift and how emotional intelligence can help you become a supportive coach instead of a manager.
Tune in for practical tips on building strong relationships with your kids, cultivating empathy, and remembering that we’re not responsible for their emotions. Whether you’re parenting toddlers or preparing to launch your kids into adulthood, this episode is full of wisdom you won’t want to miss!

Alex (the husband!) and I are getting real about the rollercoaster of raising kids in a world full of online games, social media, and YouTube.
We know the internet isn’t going anywhere, so instead of banning it all, we talk about finding that balance between letting our kids enjoy the digital world and keeping them safe.
We did make the decision to remove YouTube from our home, and we share why we chose to do it. But our kids do have access to computer games, Minecraft, Roblox, and so on.
Alex - who’s a big-time gamer - talks about setting smart boundaries for our kids on things like YouTube Kids and online games. His perspective as a gamer really adds a fresh angle, and he’s seriously got some solid tips.
Oh, and there's a wild story from Alex about how our son decided to jump off the roof (yes, you read that right!). It was a reminder of why staying aware and tuned in is so important, no matter what your kids are up to.
We also tackle the tougher topic of online dangers, like predators, and how to talk to kids about staying safe. You absolutely NEED to give your kids the knowledge, without scaring them.
Tune in for our take on raising tech-savvy kids safely—without saying “no” to everything fun.

Guys my husband is joining me on the channel again!! 😆
A few years ago, we started off with completely different views on parenting — he was skeptical of emotional intelligence, thinking it was “soft” and a waste of time. (Might sound familiar!)
Buuuut he’s had a huge change of heart, and we dive into what shifted his perspective.
We chat about how we discipline our kids, handle big emotions, and why EI has strengthened our family bond.
Plus, we’ll bust some common myths about emotional intelligence!
Tune in to hear our story and discover how EI transformed our approach to parenting and partnership.

I know you’ll find it valuable to hear how you can guide your children through tough friendships, help them understand right from wrong, and build their emotional intelligence in the process.If you’ve ever struggled with your child’s behaviour being influenced by others, this episode is for you. Let’s turn these moments into powerful teaching opportunities.***

In this solo episode, I’m talking about Kids and Big Emotions: How to Dial Up Your Emotional Intelligence and Respond Calmly.
Here’s the thing—before we can help our kids manage their emotions, we have to accept that they HAVE emotions. Emotions that are normal. Healthy. Natural. Supposed to be.
Remember when your child was learning to walk, read, or ride a bike? Did you step in and do it for them, rush them, or get annoyed when they didn’t get it right away? Or did you give them time, stay patient, and let them figure it out?!
It’s the same with emotions!
Kids need to feel their way through them in order to learn how to handle them. But we often jump in too quickly because it’s uncomfortable or inconvenient to let them ride the emotional wave. The truth is, when we allow them to go through those messy feelings, we’re giving them the tools for self-regulation.
I'll tell you the one thing you can do that will completely shift how you handle things the next time your child is crying, stomping, or having a meltdown.
I’ll also be sharing a viral quote of mine that really hit home for so many parents. Ready to approach those big emotions with more calm and confidence? Let’s get into it!

Talking to our kids about sex and sexuality can feel really uncomfortable, but it’s a conversation we need to have (especially in this age of the INTERNET). Eek.
In this episode of the Emotionally Intelligent Parenting Podcast, I’m joined by Vanessa Hamilton, a sexuality educator with over 25 years of experience and founder of Talking the Talk Sexuality Education.
We dive into all the tricky topics—when to start the conversation, how much to share, how to explain consent and boundaries, and even how to approach tough subjects like pornography.
We’ll also talk about gender differences, teaching kids the correct terminology (which can often feel confusing!), and what to say when your child doesn't want to talk because it feels awkward.
Vanessa has some fantastic, practical tips that will help make these conversations feel more natural and comfortable, no matter where you're starting from.

What would you do if your child accidentally damaged something precious to you?
In this solo episode of the Emotionally Intelligent Parenting podcast, I share a recent incident where one of my kids messed up big time - and my unexpected response. Spoiler: there was no yelling, arguing or punishment.
I reveal how I turned this moment into an opportunity for teaching life-long skills like honesty, responsibility, and making amends, all without shame or embarrassment. If you’re curious about how to handle these situations in a way that fosters connection and emotional intelligence, this episode is for you. Ready to discover a new approach to parenting? Tune in to find out!
