Episode 191: A Letter to Myself Dec 08, 2017

Show notes

Today’s episode is a simple one. I am writing a letter to myself as a form of a year-end review, about what I’ve learned, where I’ve been, and where I hope to go. It’s a really beneficial exercise to help you appreciate the growth you’ve experienced over the year. Day to day you may not see huge differences, but when you looking closely at the way you’ve grown, it’s a real blessing. I’d love for you to try it as well!

Episode 187: Why I Don’t Chase My Bolting Child Nov 24, 2017

Show notes

I posted something on Instagram a few weeks ago about having trouble with my two year old bolting. He’s loves the game of running away from me, he loves the attention, and the cycle is perpetuated when I chase him. I reached out to you to help me and when I implemented your recommendations, our experiences in public since then have been MUCH different. Let me tell you what has worked for me (thanks to some great advice from Ralphie!)
