  • Hey Friends~

    Do you wonder how to choose the school type for your child? Today’s guest, Katja Lany, discusses what sparked her knowing that Montessori was the right choice for her children. And it may surprise you.

    She also talks about how OUR inner child can keep us stuck from following what we know, for our children. In these cases, we may need to reparent ourselves.

    Her beautiful German accent will keep you entranced while you learn about Montessori, inner child work, and how these things showed Katja how she can reparent herself.

    “Your emotions are the messengers that give you the information you need to make the decision you are faced with.” ~Katja Lany

  • Hey Friends~

    What is it that builds confidence in kids? How do we inadvertently create doubt in our children? Today’s episode opens the door for seeing this process in physical movement. The concepts are still the same when we talk about emotional courage or courage to express themselves.

    Today, I will tell a true story that lays bare how our words can create an outcome - even if it is not what we intend! Becoming aware is the first step to knowing exactly what you want to change. Let's together build confident, courageous kids! I am glad you are here!

    If you haven’t heard, I will be hosting a Free Webinar in just ONE week! This webinar is designed with you in mind - if you wonder why doesn’t my child listen - and you have been receiving speech therapy OR you have just wondered about your child!

    Interestingly, the ability to listen and process has particular features that we can anticipate. It’s not always disobedience - at least in the sense of deliberate defiance.

    ABOUT THE GUEST:

    In 2003, Krys was living what many would call “a good life." She was in her 10th year of a career as a police officer, and as far as anyone was concerned, she was successful. Then a serious car crash woke her up to the reality that, while she had all the trappings of success, the success was empty – her life had no meaning, and she no longer knew who she was or what she wanted in life. In that moment, she promised herself things would change, that she would do whatever it took to create a life for herself that had meaning and purpose. It took Krys several years of searching to discover the secret to creating the life she longed for and to create a life that is interesting, purpose driven, and fun. As an Empowerment Coach, Krys’ mission is to share what she has learned with successful women professionals and entrepreneurs who are tired of feeling stuck in life and uncertain as they look to the future, and who are ready to take action now to create a life they love.

    131 Starting To Plan Your Summer Adventures? 3 Tips To Prepare For Success!

    48 One Effective Way to Make the Transition to Summer Easier For All Ages

  • Hey Friends~

    Your Feelings are a message from your body. It’s the same for your kids.

    How do you attune to your child’s feelings - instead of telling them not to feel as they do?

    Do quickly tell your child how to behave? (“Don’t worry.” “Settle down.” or “You don’t need to feel that way.”) This kind of response backfires in relationships

    Or

    Do you reflect back to them how they are feeling? This is not an easy skill. However, it is a skill that is learnable!
