S2 E2: Overcoming Negative Self-Talk and Celebrating Little Wins

Hello and thanks for listening to S2 episode 2. Please do leave a review if you can to help others join our growing community! Episode Summary: Overcoming Negative Self-Talk and Celebrating Little Wins In this episode I delve into the importance of reducing negative self-talk and cultivating self-compassion. I discuss how negative self-talk can erode self-esteem and confidence, and how practicing self-kindness can lead to positive transformations in our lives. I also explore the significance of teaching children to recognize and challenge negative self-talk, helping them develop a healthier mindset. By understanding the brain's natural negativity bias and training it to focus on the positive, we can cultivate greater happiness and resilience. Throughout the episode, I emphasize the power of self-acceptance and a growth mindset in navigating life's challenges. I highlight the benefits of celebrating small wins and building a strong sense of self-worth, which can enhance motivation and overall well-being. Key Topics from the Episode: * Negative Self-Talk: The impact of negative self-talk on self-esteem and confidence. * Self-Compassion: The importance of practicing self-kindness and understanding. * Teaching Children: How to guide children in recognizing and changing negative self-talk. * Neuroplasticity: The brain's ability to learn and adapt, including overcoming the negativity bias. * Growth Mindset: The benefits of adopting a growth mindset over a fixed mindset. * Resilience: Building resilience through self-compassion and celebrating small wins. * Self-Worth: Cultivating a strong sense of self-worth and its impact on motivation and happiness If you have any comments or feedback please do get in touch!

S2 E1 How We Parent Differently

Hello! Welcome to season 2 of the podcast! I've got so much to share with you this season so please make sure you subscribe so you don't miss a thing. If you have time, please leave a review to help others find our community. Podcast Episode Summary: Parenting with Autonomy and Understanding In this episode, I discuss my unique approach to parenting with my husband, Pete. Yes, I've managed to persuade him to come on as a guest! We prioritise our children's needs over societal expectations, focusing on building their autonomy and understanding of their own feelings. Key takeaways from our conversation include: * Prioritising children's needs: We believe it's essential to put our children's needs first, even if it means going against societal norms. * Validating emotions: We support our children's emotions, helping them understand and express themselves. * Autonomy in clothing: We encourage our children to make their own clothing choices, fostering their independence. * Relaxed approach to language: We allow our children to use a variety of language, teaching them when and where it's appropriate. We also delve into specific topics like: * Teaching about swearing: We've found that teaching our children about the context of swearing helps them understand why it might be offensive. * Involving children in decisions: We believe it's important to give our children a voice in decisions that affect them, such as choosing holidays or decorating their rooms. * Sharing personal challenges: We've found that sharing our own struggles with our children helps them understand that everyone faces difficulties. By modelling self-acceptance and healthy coping mechanisms, we hope to equip our children with the tools they need to navigate life's challenges.
