ResponseABLE Parenting

I didn’t think I’d share this personal story from my Thanksgiving break but I felt like it really hit home for me on my journey of parenting as well as self discovery. So I invite you to take a listen, and possibly see yourself in my story.  We are so deeply intertwined with all of our “shoulds” that we’ve lost a large part of ourselves. My goal in everything I do as a coach is to help us figure out how to come back to ourselves so we can ultimately show up the way we truly want to show up.  We’ve taken on more in this life than our nervous systems can handle. And I’m hoping that through this work we can soothe and comfort that out of wack nervous system. I know it’s possible because I see the bread crumbs and the small wins all the time through this practice.  I am excited to have you along on this journey and I hope to connect with you even more.  FREE GUIDES!

You’re catching me days after the Thanksgiving break here in the states. And not even 24 hours after my youngest fell and busted out most if not all of his front teeth. I’m a little shell shocked but learning a big lesson. The lesson being, I was never allowed to be messy. And so that’s why parenting feels so hard because IT’S ONLY MESS!  This is a heart felt, loving, accepting message to all the parents out there who are in the thick of the MESS. I hope you feel less alone, seen and supported after listening to this episode.  Sending you love from the depths of the mess.  FREE GUIDES!
