In this episode, we delve into the concept of being "qualified" in the workplace, examining who gets labeled as such, who doesn't, and the underlying reasons. We explore "competency checking"—the practice of scrutinizing individuals' abilities—and how it disproportionately affects underrepresented groups, often going unnoticed or unchallenged. Our discussion aims to redefine qualifications in a fair, equitable, and actionable manner. Our guest, Shari Dunn , is an accomplished journalist, former attorney, news anchor, CEO, university professor, and sought-after speaker. She has been recognized as Executive of the Year and a Woman of Influence, with her work appearing in Fortune Magazine, The Wall Street Journal, Ad Age, and more. Her new book, Qualified: How Competency Checking and Race Collide at Work , unpacks what it truly means to be deserving and capable—and why systemic barriers, not personal deficits, are often the real problem. Her insights challenge the narratives that hold so many of us back and offer practical solutions for building a more equitable future. Together, we can build workplaces and communities that don’t just reflect the world we live in, but the one we want to create. A world where being qualified is about recognizing the talent and potential that’s been overlooked for far too long. It’s not just about getting a seat at the table—it’s about building an entirely new table, one designed with space for all of us.

Ep #128 Why 'BEING' Trumps 'Doing' in Parenting (And Most Parents Get This Backwards) 59:49

לפני 4 hours59:49

59:49

So there I was, wide awake at 5:15 AM in FREAKING NEW ZEALAND (yes, we're still traveling—more on that later!) with this message practically BURSTING out of me. My body was like, "Andee, get up RIGHT NOW and talk to your people!" So here I am, messy bun and all, coming in hot with some truth bombs about parenting that literally changed my entire life. The Big Juicy Secret I Can't Keep Anymore: Who you're BEING matters waaaaay more than what you're DOING as a parent. Think about it—you could say "time to wake up" with the exact same words but completely different energy: Option A: Frazzled, irritated, rushing (we've ALL been there) Option B: Grounded, present, compassionate Same words, totally different result! And guess what? Your kids have these amazing things called mirror neurons that pick up your emotional vibe INSTANTLY. They're like little emotional WiFi receivers! 📡 Real Talk Moment: Remember when I was first shifting my parenting and thinking, "Why didn't that work? I said the words in a calm voice!" Meanwhile, I was RAGING inside but kept my tone even. Newsflash: the emotions behind our words don't lie, people! The Ultimate Parenting Glow-Up: I'm spilling all my favorite insights from this amazing book "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do" by Amy Morin: They don't waste time feeling sorry for themselves (but they DO feel their feelings—big difference!) They don't give their power away (your teenager's eye roll doesn't control your mood, I promise!) They don't shy away from change (hello, adapting to each new stage of childhood!) ...and there's so much more goodness in the episode! The Story That Still Makes Me Tear Up: So picture little Andee, maybe 10 years old, in our giant brown 80s Suburban (oldest of SEVEN kids, remember?). I accidentally stepped right into one of the homemade pies my mom had made for the school fall festival. 🥧👟 I was MORTIFIED, waiting for the judgment hammer to fall. But my amazing mom just looked at me and said, "It's fine, it's totally fine," and drove on minus one pie. No big deal. THAT, my friends, is someone whose BEING and DOING are perfectly aligned. (Thanks, Mom! 💕) Your Homework (Because I Care): Stop asking "What do I DO when my kid does XYZ?" and start asking "Who do I want to BE when my kid does XYZ?" Game. Changer. Your kids don't need perfect—they need YOU in all your beautiful, messy, authentic glory. (And honestly? That's way more interesting anyway!) Sending buckets of love from New Zealand (only a week and a half left—we're soaking up every second!), Andee 💫 P.S. If you feel like you're failing sometimes, welcome to the club! The people who succeed aren't the ones who never fail—they're the ones who refuse to let failure be the end of their story. Keep going! P.P.S. I'm totally planning a whole episode on the journey of this trip and how it relates to parenting. Stay tuned! 🌏✈️ Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

Ep #127 Relationships 2.0: Why Being Right is Overrated 40:53

לפני 4 ימים40:53

40:53

Okay, can we talk about something that's been LIVING in my brain lately? You know that feeling when you're absolutely POSITIVE you need to win an argument with your kiddo... and then suddenly realize that winning might actually be losing? Yeah, THAT. 🤯 In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something that's about to change your whole parenting game: what if I told you that being right isn't actually the goal? (I know, I know - stay with me here!) Here's what we're unpacking together: 🎯 The mind-blowing truth about relationships (spoiler alert: they're not what you think!) ✨ Why your relationship with your child isn't actually about their behavior (say what now?) 🧠 The secret sauce to difficult conversations that'll make you feel like a connection ninja 💫 My P.E.A.C.E. method that's about to become your new best friend 🔮 A late-night revelation that changed everything (because apparently, wisdom hits different at 2 AM!) Picture this: You're in the middle of a heated moment with your child CEO (aka your strong-willed child) , and instead of trying to prove your point, you've got this magical new way of handling things that actually WORKS. Sounds dreamy, right? That's exactly what we're diving into! Plus, I'm sharing my step-by-step guide to: - Dropping the right/wrong game (because honestly, who needs that drama?) - Listening like a fascinated scientist (way more fun than it sounds!) - Using facts as your secret weapon (they're like relationship Switzerland - totally neutral!) - Turning fear into your superpower (plot twist you didn't see coming!) Here's the thing, beautiful humans: The moment I stopped trying to win at parenting was the moment everything started shifting. And I mean EVERYTHING.

Ep #126 The Hard Day Hypothesis 42:17

לפני 7 ימים42:17

42:17

Today's episode is basically what happened when years of parenting, and one very persistent thought about "hard days" collided into what might be one of the most important perspective shifts I've ever had. Grab your favorite drink and let's dive into this game-changing conversation! 🌟 In this episode, I'm diving deep into: Why the most successful parents (and people) are actually the ones most willing to feel negative emotions (mind-blown yet?) The shocking revelation about why there's actually no such thing as a "hard day" (stick with me on this one!) My confession about writing my book and why it took THREE WHOLE YEARS (grammar is still not my bestie, y'all) A totally new way to think about challenges that will revolutionize your parenting journey Real talk: I share some stories about my own journey, including that time I thought going to the store with one kid was THE HARDEST THING EVER (oh, sweet past Andee... just wait until you have six! 😂). My absolute favorite nugget from this episode? "The most successful people are the ones who are most willing to feel negative emotions." Let that sink in for a minute. 🤯 Whether you're currently: Dealing with a Sharpie artist who decided your walls needed "updating" Wondering if your teenager's eye-rolling could qualify as an Olympic sport Just trying to figure out why adulting feels so... adult-y This episode is your permission slip to see it all differently. Because maybe, just maybe, those "hard" days are actually just level-up opportunities in disguise! Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

Ep #125 The Off-Track Behavior Masterclass: Because Timeouts Aren't Working and Oreos Aren't a Solution 40:27

לפני 11 ימים40:27

40:27

If you've ever found yourself googling "Is it normal for kids to fight 37 times before noon?" or "How to stop yelling when everything is LITERALLY ON FIRE" – I just dropped the survival guide we've all been desperately needing with this episode! What I'm Sharing In This Episode In this workshop (which was SO good I just HAD to share it on the podcast!), I'm walking you through: 🧠 The Off-Track Behavior Truth : I'm redefining what's actually happening when kids fight, ignore you, or melt down (hint: it's not them being jerks on purpose, I promise!) 😤 The Thought-Feeling-Action Chain : Why you go from "they're fighting again" to completely losing it in 2.5 seconds (and how to interrupt that pattern!) 🗺️ Your Personal Recipe Card : My step-by-step method for creating YOUR personalized emergency plan for those moments when you want to scream into a pillow. ⚡ The Connection Secret : How I learned to stay emotionally connected when every fiber of my being wanted to run away or shut down My Favorite Ah-Ha Moments To Listen For: "Off track behavior is when the kids are not able to stay within the boundaries we've established together. It's an indicator that the kids are struggling and need help." (This definition CHANGED MY LIFE, y'all. I used to think my kids were just being difficult on purpose!) "Your thoughts about them will be dependent on your expectations of them and how well they meet those expectations." (Ouch. Fifteen years ago this one hit me right in the parenting feels. But once I got it? GAME. CHANGER.) The Too-Exhausted-To-Listen-To-It-All Version: Your kids' behavior = information about what's happening inside them (not a personal attack on you!) Your thoughts create your reactions (and you can actually choose different thoughts!) Write down your personal off-track recipe on an actual card so your brain doesn't short-circuit next time Be the calm you want to see (even if you have to fake it till you make it at first!) Be patient with yourself because this parenting gig is HARD and we're all figuring it out as we go xoxoAndee ❤️❤️ P.P.S. In this episode, I talk about how I had to drive through a BLIZZARD to deliver this workshop. That's how important I think this stuff is. So if you're struggling, please know you're not alone – and there's a way through! (And maybe leave a review if this episode was helpful. It makes my day AND helps other parents find us!)

Ep #124 Going All In: Why Half-Hearted Parenting is Like Training for the Olympics in Flip-Flops 50:50

לפני 14 ימים50:50

50:50

We're diving DEEP into what it really means to go all in - not just in parenting, but in life. And before you think "Oh great, another episode about trying harder" (I see you, I hear you), this is actually about something completely different. Remember Eddie the Eagle? That gloriously awkward British ski-jumper who showed up at the Olympics having barely ski jumped before (compared to the other competitors)? His story completely blew my mind, and it's going to change how you think about commitment forever. Trust me on this one. In this episode, I'm sharing: Why resilience isn't actually a personality trait (thank goodness, right?) The real reason your "failures" might actually be your biggest wins My slightly unhinged but totally effective $10,000 commitment challenge The Mario Kart theory of parenting (yes, this is a thing, and yes, it's going to make so much sense) Plus, I'm getting super real about my own journey - including that moment I looked at my 2023 photos and had a total "oh honey" moment about my fitness journey. Because sometimes the best way to learn about commitment is to face-plant a few times along the way (metaphorically speaking... mostly). And for my League peeps - whether you're in Pivot or Mastery - you're going to love how this ties into everything we've been working on. And if you're not in League yet... well, let's just say March's Pivot 5.0 is looking pretty tempting right now! 😉 So grab yourself something to drink (water with electrolytes is my go to these days), find a quiet spot, and let's talk about why a "sort of commitment" never won an Olympic medal - and what that means for all of us. Can't wait to hear what hits home for you! With love from the mountains, Andee P.S. If you've ever felt like you're not doing enough, not getting it right, or just generally fumbling through this whole parenting thing - this episode is especially for you. Because sometimes the shortest jump in Olympic history can actually be your biggest win. (Intrigued? Just wait - it's going to make you tear up a little. It did me!)

Ep #123 The Past Only Exists In Your Head (And Why That Changes Everything About Parenting) 46:33

לפני 18 ימים46:33

46:33

Hey there, beautiful souls! 👋 In today's episode, we're diving deep into the messy, beautiful world of self-forgiveness and what it really means to "fail" as a parent. Imagine you've just had one of those moments where your kid's room looks like a tornado had a party with a hurricane, and you...may have slightly lost your cool. 😬 We've all been there, right? Today we're unpacking why beating yourself up about it is SO last season, and what to do instead. In This Episode: Why your past only exists in your thoughts (mind-bending stuff, folks!) The adorable children's book "The Sorry Plane" and what it teaches us about giving space for feelings Why Nelson Mandela's "I never lose, I either win or learn" quote will help you fulfill your parenting goals A beautiful forgiveness poem that might make you cry (in a good way!) How to transform your "mom fail" moments into growth opportunities The Thomas Edison approach to parenting - as adapted by me (he "failed" 10,000 times and turned out fine!) Quotable Moments : "If I could have done better, I would have done better" (Your new mantra, btw!) "Forgiveness is for you to give to you first" (Mind. Blown. 🤯) "The past is over - we're now bringing those memories and thinking about them right now" Key Takeaways: Your past isn't a life sentence (unless you keep replaying it on repeat in your head) Being hard on yourself isn't actually helping (shocking, I know!) Judgment keeps you stuck, curiosity moves you forward Your nervous system being activated isn't a character flaw (it's just being human!) Action Steps: Pick ONE recent parenting moment that's been playing on repeat in your head, and practice reframing it through the lens of compassion. (And maybe stick a Post-it note on your mirror that says "I'm doing my best" - trust me on this one! 💕) Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

Ep #121 The Confidence Catch-22: Why Believing You're 'Not Enough' is Actually Keeping You From Being Enough 25:30

לפני 25 ימים25:30

25:30

Finding your parenting confidence is NOT about being perfect and more about embracing your inner 'I'm totally winging this but also kind of crushing it' energy. Today we're diving deep into the world of self-confidence. The "Not Enough" Trap: Why this thought is about as helpful as chocolate-covered broccoli The moment I realized self-doubt was just being extra dramatic What Elon Musk and broken glass taught me about parenting (stay with me here...) The Wild Truth About Self-Confidence: You can't validate your kids if you can't validate yourself! Why Michael Jordan's training mindset is exactly what we need for parenting The French have it right: I HAVE frustration - NOT - I AM frustrated (oui oui, mes amis!) The Confidence Equation: Growth mindset = Self-confidence factory Fixed mindset = External validation hamster wheel Why failure is just spicy feedback (and how to use it) Try This At Home: ✨ Start a "Why I'm Actually Awesome" list (even if it feels weird) ✨ Practice French-style emotion-having (oui, you can) ✨ Channel your inner confident penguin (they can't fly but strut anyway!)

Bonus points if you're currently listening to this while hiding in the bathroom for five minutes of peace! Quick question - ever had one of those moments where you're just living your life, and suddenly you find yourself crying over a scrapbook in a random Airbnb while having an existential parenting epiphany? No? Just me? Cool cool cool... 😅 In this slightly tear-stained but mostly joy-filled episode (recorded from the most unexpected taco spot in the Southern Hemisphere) : That lightbulb moment when you realize your most chaotic parenting moments are actually...kind of beautiful?

The story of how I went from being the "But Actually..." mom to choosing love instead (featuring: my bed, my stubborn brain, and an early morning revelation that changed everything) A surprise guest appearance by my teen's scrapbook that DEFINITELY didn't make me emotional Plus: What happens when you convince your family to travel the world for six months and somehow end up finding the best Mexican food near actual fjords?! PLOT TWIST: Turns out Jane Austen never wrote about hiding in the pantry eating emergency chocolate, but I bet Elizabeth Bennet would totally get it. Consider this your permission slip to be perfectly imperfect. Because let's be real - if we were meant to have it all figured out, kids would come with instruction manuals! P.S.

Ep #119 Don’t Stop Believin’: The Irresistible Parenting Protocol in 5 Simple Steps 47:01

לפני 5 weeks47:01

47:01

Hey, hey, my favorite parents! Have you ever found yourself caught in the "should have, would have, could have" trap with your kids? Or maybe you’ve hoped (or begged) they’d just listen this time —and felt that creeping frustration when they didn’t? Yep, I’ve been there, too. In today’s episode, we’re diving into The Irresistible Parenting Protocol —the exact process I use to help parents move from chaos to calm and get their kids to want to listen (without bribes, threats, or ultimatums). I’m sharing the three parenting mistakes that might be sneaking into your daily routines and keeping you stuck in a loop of frustration. We’ll explore how to replace them with easy, effective strategies that create connection—and results. What we’re covering today: The sneaky parenting habits that feel helpful but actually trigger your kids' nervous systems (hint: this is why they shut down or push back). Why your energy matters more than your words—and how to shift from needy and graspy to magnetic and calm. How to set firm boundaries without guilt, shame, or "policing" vibes. You’ll also hear about my run-in with a very kind police officer, a street performer who gathered a massive crowd, and how these real-life moments offer surprising insights for parenting. Trust me, this one’s a goodie! Favorite Takeaway: Parenting starts in your brain. When we become aware of our thoughts and choose ones that serve us, everything changes. Connection is the secret sauce, and it’s easier than you think. So grab your earbuds, hit play, and let’s get into it. You’ll walk away with actionable steps, a clearer perspective, and probably a laugh or two.

Ep #118 When Your Best Doesn't Feel Like It's Enough 48:25

לפני 5 weeks48:25

48:25

We’ve all had those moments where we put in so much effort, tried so hard, and still fell short. It’s frustrating, humbling, and, let’s be honest, sometimes it makes us want to give up. But what if those moments were exactly what we needed? In today’s episode, I’m diving into what happens when life doesn’t go as planned. Whether it’s your personal goals or watching your kids struggle to achieve theirs, this topic is close to my heart because I’ve been there. (Oh, have I been there.) From learning to drive on the left side of the road to parenting through countless meltdowns, I’ve learned that those “not enough” moments are some of the most important of all. We’re going to talk about why your best sometimes doesn’t feel good enough—and what to do about it. Here’s what we’ll cover: What is “your best,” really? Breaking it down into four parts: skill, attitude, commitment, and resilience. Why failure doesn’t mean you’re falling short —it means you’re growing. The secret to teaching your kids how to handle disappointment by modeling it yourself. How to close the gap between where you are now and where you want to be (without beating yourself up). Why the journey matters so much more than the destination. This episode is full of practical insights and personal stories to help you shift your perspective on failure—for yourself and for your kids. Because when we embrace the messy, imperfect process, we give our kids permission to do the same. A Favorite Takeaway from Today: “When we redefine failure as just another step in the process, it stops feeling like the end. It becomes part of what’s making us .” Here’s the thing: Parenting isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, giving it your all, and knowing that even when it doesn’t work out, you’re still moving forward. It’s about finding joy in the journey—even the messy parts—and helping your kids see that they can, too. Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

Ep #117 This is What’s Happening: The SOS Method for Parenting Without Losing It 29:48

לפני 6 weeks29:48

29:48

Ever feel like you’re caught in a parenting Groundhog Day? The tantrums, the fights, the endless messes... all while you’re trying your hardest to hold it together? Same. In this episode, we’re diving into something I call the SOS Method —a simple but powerful way to shift out of survival mode and into connection. We’re talking about how to stay present when your brain wants to hit the eject button, why noticing what’s actually happening changes everything, and how to ditch the self-judgment spiral once and for all. Here’s what we’re unpacking together: The magic of “This is what’s happening” —why accepting the moment (instead of fighting it) changes how you show up. Why slowing down is the real parenting superpower. How to hold space for all your feelings (yes, even the messy ones like frustration or self-doubt). The sneaky connection between emotional triggers and your beliefs—and how to gently rewrite the ones that aren’t serving you. My favorite tip for practicing calm before the meltdown happens Parenting isn’t about fixing our kids or controlling every situation. It’s about learning to stay steady—finding that calm center when the world (or your toddler) is spinning around you. And the good news? You don’t have to be perfect to make this shift. You just have to be willing. So grab your headphones and let’s dive in! You’ve got this, friend. Love, Andee Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

Ep #116 Much Ado About Questions: Turning Good Questions Into BIG Parenting Wins 38:41

לפני 6 weeks38:41

38:41

Hey, hey, friends this week, we’re talking about something deceptively simple but ridiculously impactful: questions . Yep, those little sentences we toss around in our heads all day long are either helping us grow—or keeping us stuck. I’m sharing a personal story from my recent trip to New Zealand where a tug-of-war over a sea cave (yes, a literal sea cave!) led me to some profound realizations about parenting, connection, and emotional growth. Btw: the way I asked myself questions in the middle of a frustrating moment shifted everything . Here’s what we’re diving into today: Why the questions you ask yourself as a parent are everything . The three powerful questions I use to shift from overwhelm to clarity. How to spot “bad” questions and reframe them into empowering ones. What a park bench, sunshine, and a moment of reflection taught me about showing up better for my kids. You’ll also get some practical tips for keeping your cool when parenting feels like a battle and tools to model emotional regulation for your kids—because, let’s be real, they’re watching everything . 💡 Your Takeaway Challenge: Pick one empowering question to ask yourself every day this week. Not sure where to start? Here are some of my faves: How can I connect with my kids today in a way that feels fun and easy? What small change can I make to create a calmer home? What am I thinking right now, and why am I choosing to think it? As always, thank you for being here! I love that we’re on this parenting journey together. Go hug your kids, send a sweet text, or write them a love note—they’ll feel it, and so will you. 💕 See you next time! xo, Andee Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

Ep #115 Great Expectations: Overcoming Victim Mentality to Connect with Your Kids 40:36

לפני 7 weeks40:36

40:36

Ever feel like you're stuck in the blame game? Like if your kids would just behave better , everything would be fine? Oh, friend, this one's for you. 🎙️ In today’s episode of the Connect Method Parenting Podcast, I’m diving deep into two mindsets that can either make or break your parenting journey: victim mentality and vulnerability . Here’s the truth: we all slip into victim mode sometimes—whether it’s blaming our kids, our schedules, or even the weather (hello, rainy day tantrums). But recognizing this sneaky mindset is the first step to shifting out of it. Here’s what we’re unpacking today: The sneaky ways victim mentality shows up in parenting (and how to spot it in yourself). Why vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s your superpower. 💪 How shifting from blame to ownership transforms not just your parenting, but your entire life. Real-life examples (yep, including my own embarrassing ones) of how to stop the blame spiral and step into connection. I’m sharing tools to help you calm your nervous system, navigate challenging moments with your kids, and break free from the emotional tug-of-war that leaves everyone feeling frustrated. Because when you embrace vulnerability and ownership, you’re modeling emotional resilience for your kids—and isn’t that what we all want? Big takeaways from this episode: Blame is a dead-end street. Ownership is where everything happens. ✨ Vulnerability is about strength, not weakness. You can set limits and stay calm, confident, and connected—even during the messiest parenting moments. Let’s redefine what it means to show up for our kids (and ourselves!) with authenticity and grace. P.S. Got a story about how this resonates? DM me on Instagram or tag me in your parenting wins.

לפני 7 weeks49:08

49:08

If you’ve ever felt stuck in a loop of parenting problems that never seem to go away, this episode is for you. Today, I’m sharing a perspective shift that will change how you approach challenges—not just in parenting but in every area of your life. We’re breaking down The STEAR Framework (it’s a game-changer!) and diving deep into how our thoughts shape our experience of problems. I’m also getting personal, sharing reflections from my family’s multi-month adventure abroad and how one emotional moment with my daughter, Becca, brought it all into focus. What You’ll Learn in This Episode: The Truth About Problems : Why most problems aren’t what you think they are—and how this shift can change everything. The STEAR Framework in Action : How to consciously approach challenges so you can grow and connect more deeply with your kids. Tools for Reflection : How to use your past year (or even your camera roll!) to uncover what worked, what didn’t, and what to focus on in 2025. From Chaos to Calm : Practical strategies to handle common parenting “problems” like messy rooms, tantrums, or sibling squabbles with confidence. Why This Episode Matters Problems aren’t just roadblocks; they’re opportunities for growth—yours and your child’s. Whether it’s morning chaos or eye rolls at the dinner table, you’ll walk away from this episode with a fresh perspective and tools to redefine what’s possible in your parenting journey. Take Action This Week: List Your Problems : Write down all the “problems” in your parenting life. Separate Facts from Thoughts : Use the STEAR framework to simplify and reframe these challenges. Reflect on 2024 : What worked, what didn’t, and what do you want to focus on in 2025? Key Takeaways: Problems are neutral. It’s not the situation but your thoughts about it that create frustration. Connection is the goal. Solving problems consciously strengthens your bond with your kids and sets the stage for a more connected family life. Every challenge is an opportunity. Whether it’s a tantrum or a missed curfew, there’s a chance to grow—for both you and your kids. Resources Mentioned: The STEAR Framework : A step-by-step tool to shift your perspective on problems.

Ep #113 MVP: Why Rewards and Punishments Don’t Work - the Parenting Revolution You Need 21:56

21:56

Hey, hey, everyone! Andee here! 🖐️ Let’s dive into a topic that is near and dear to so many of us—because, let’s be honest, we’ve all tried it—corrective parenting. You know, the old-school model of using rewards and consequences to manage behavior that doesn’t work long-term. Today, I’m breaking down exactly why. In this episode, we’re getting real about: The history of corrective parenting (hello, rats and pigeons 🐀🐦) and where it all began. Why rewards and punishments only create short-term behavior changes (and leave you exhausted). The hidden costs of corrective parenting—on your relationship, your child’s confidence, and their sense of safety. What neuroscience and developmental psychology have to say about how kids actually learn and grow. I’m also sharing what I know works: the Connective Parenting approach. No sticker charts, no bribes, no taking away their favorite toy. Just real connection that helps your kids want to listen to you. Sounds dreamy, right? If you’re tired of feeling like you’re stuck on the hamster wheel of correcting and consequencing, this episode is for you. We’re talking about kicking those old techniques to the curb and stepping into something that feels so much better—for you and your kids. And don’t forget, if you’re new to Connect Method Parenting, I’ve got a FREE course to get you started! We’ll cover the biggest parenting challenges and how connection changes everything. You can grab it here: cmp.works/course Let’s break up with corrective parenting and step into a developmentally appropriate way of raising our kids.

Ep #102 Wants - Part 2 17:20

לפני 13 weeks17:20

17:20

One of the biggest ways that we thwart our growth and, ultimately, our success as parents is by living through the habits, patterns, and identities of our past that no longer serve us. Ultimately what you WANT and decide to do impacts how you parent. Your wants lead to decisions and the decisions you make are the point of power in your life and with your parenting. It’s very challenging not to be run by your past decisions. For example, "I need to give my children a consequence to teach them a lesson." Or by your past identity as a parent. For example, "I can’t change my mind or I’ll be weak." You want something, you decide to do that thing it propels you, so to speak. In a way, we are always making decisions sometimes consciously but a lot of the time unconsciously. The unconscious decisions we make create little piles of unconscious decisions that start filling up our parenting strategy. In this episode, we're diving into how to create powerful WANTs that help you create the life you WANT. Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

Tired of chasing after your kids' attention, wishing they’d just listen already ? Plot twist: instead of trying to get their attention through behavior battles, let’s flip the focus to giving them the kind of attention that matters. In this episode, we’re breaking down why high-quality, intentional attention is the secret sauce to getting the connection and cooperation you crave (without bribes or begging). Because when your kids feel truly seen and heard, their good behavior starts showing up on its own. No magic wands, just a little mindset shift that changes everything. So, ready to ditch the “Do you hear me?!” cycle and step into attention-connection-mode? Let’s do this! ❤️ 4o Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

It's the Connect Method parenting blueprint. When you build a house, you wouldn't even consider building a house without a blueprint. It guides the entire process of building from start to finish so the house makes sense so it doesn't crumble and fall apart.

The truth is, most fear is unnecessary and shouldn’t control us. This episode is an invitation to see fear as a signal — not a barrier. It’s a natural emotion that offers us the chance to grow.

Happy Wednesday! Today, we conclude the 3 Vital Parenting Decisions Series. If you haven’t listened to the episodes from Monday and Tuesday, check those out first because they lay the groundwork for today’s discussion. Today's Focus: Practicing extreme self-compassion. It’s essential. My coach emphasized the importance of being gentle and loving towards myself, even when I felt I had failed. This approach transformed my ability to connect deeply with my children. Self-compassion prevents us from slipping into survival mode, which can lead to negative reactions and disconnection. By practicing self-compassion, we foster a peaceful, connected family environment. Key Points from the Workshop: Day 1: Stop energizing off-track behavior with punishments and rewards. Day 2: Proactively connect with your kids to create lasting bonds. Day 3: Practice extreme self-compassion to support personal growth and deeper connections. Practical Steps: Redefine mistakes as growth opportunities. Welcome all emotions as part of the human experience. Practice the "SOS" method: Stop: Be present and aware of your thoughts and feelings. Open: Approach your thoughts with curiosity and compassion. Stay: Stay with your emotions long enough to process them. Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

Welcome back to day two of the Connect Method Parenting workshop - 3 Vital Decisions! If you listened yesterday, you’ll remember we introduced the concept of stopping the negative energizing of off-track behavior. Today, we build on that foundation with the second decision: committing to using connection as your primary parenting tool. Stop Negative Energizing : Refrain from using punishments, rewards, and ultimatums as your primary tools. Understand that these methods often fail to address the root cause of off-track behavior. Commit to Connection : Make a conscious decision to use connection, relationship, and attachment as your primary parenting strategies. This involves showing compassion and empathy in every situation, prioritizing the relationship over external opinions, and believing in the inherent goodness of your child. Proactive Connection : Shift from reactive to proactive connection. Show up energetically and positively, not just when things go wrong but also when everything is going smoothly. Creating a Habit : Understand that this approach creates a habit and a culture of connection, leading to long-term positive changes in your child's behavior and your relationship with them. We discussed how to set limits with compassion and empathy using a step-by-step approach: Slow Down : Pause and assess the situation without rushing into default reactions. See Them First : Make eye contact and ensure your child is responsive before setting any limits. Set the Limit : Use simple, clear language to set the limit (e.g., "I can't let you jump on the couch"). Stay with Them : Ensure they feel supported and understood, even if you need to step away momentarily. Today's Assignment : Engage in one-on-one connection time with your child. Let them pick the activity, and commit to spending 5-15 minutes fully engaged and present. Put away your phone and be genuinely excited about the time you spend together. This practice helps build a strong, positive connection that will serve as the foundation for your relationship. Join us tomorrow as we continue to build on these principles and explore more ways to foster a deep, connective relationship with your child.

Enter Mary. Six kids deep, including two sets of tireless twins, and a living testament to the “I survived and thrived” mantra thanks to a little magic we like to call Connect Method Parenting (CMP). “Blew my mind,” she’d tell you if you asked how CMP turned her daily chaos into something resembling peace. And not the eerie calm before the storm kind, but genuine, “Wow, we can actually do this” peace. Mary’s been where you are – juggling the wilds of child psychology, shuffling through parenting styles like a Vegas dealer, and sprinkling positive discipline like fairy dust. All while aiming for that elusive clean home unicorn. Now, she’s spilling the beans on how she went from “Why won’t you listen?!” to “We’re actually communicating!” Think of it as your behind-the-scenes pass inside the home of a CMP Parent. Mary’s living proof that the CMP cape fits those who dare to wear it. 🚀 So, what’s the deal with CMP? Imagine if you could swap out your everyday parenting tools with something out of a high-tech, high-touch toolbox. That’s CMP in a nutshell. It’s about connection over correction, dialogue over demands. And here’s the kicker – it works. Like, “Holy crap, I can’t believe this is my life now” works.
