This Is Hard – 195 May 03, 2022

Show notes

Last week I had five coaching sessions back to back, and in four of those sessions, the moms all cried and expressed the same sentiment: This is hard. One mom said she felt defeated. Another said she felt judged. Another felt guilty, like she was doing everything wrong because she often got pushback on her boundaries. Maybe you’ve been there, too. With Mother’s Day around the corner here in the U.S., there are a lot of beautiful and fun parts of motherhood to celebrate. AND I hope you celebrate that you are doing the hard thing. You're showing up the best you can even when it feels challenging and unmanageable. And that's worth celebrating! If you’ve ever felt defeated, overwhelmed, or like everything just feels hard, this episode is for you. www.lessdramamoremama.com/195

“I Like Me and I Matter”: My Interview with Lindsey – 193 Apr 19, 2022

Show notes

Over the past two years, I've had the privilege of witnessing one of my clients transform herself and her relationships. When Lindsey reached out to me for support, she had hit her "rock bottom." She was yelling at everyone in her family, finding reasons to be angry with them, and not liking herself as a result. I'm thrilled to report that everything has changed for Lindsey since we started working together back in 2020. Tune into this episode to hear Lindsey talk about how she went from struggling with resentment, guilt, and unworthiness to having a strong sense of self-worth and self-confidence. www.lessdramamoremama.com/193

Getting Your Spouse On Board with Coaching: My interview with Mike – 192 Apr 12, 2022

Show notes

One thing I often hear from parents who want to start coaching with me and feel like it could change everything for their family is, “I don’t think my spouse will go for this.” Usually, it's the wife who finds me through the podcast and she's had me in her ear for a while. She feels a pull inside her to reach out to me, but her spouse, who has never heard the podcast and doesn’t understand the concepts I teach says, "You want to do what? And with who? Who's Pam Howard? Do you really need coaching? Can’t you just read a book?" This interview answers all of those questions from a spouse’s perspective. Mike, who's married to my client, Lindsey, graciously agreed to come chat with me about his experience since I started working with Lindsey two years ago. We don’t often get to hear from a spouse’s perspective, and I couldn’t wait to get this into your ears and heart. Grab your spouse and listen together (and come back next week to hear my interview with Lindsey)! www.lessdramamoremama.com/192

If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, this episode is for you. Tune into this episode to learn what temperament is, why it matters, and how understanding your kids' unique temperaments can help you improve your relationships with them immediately! www.lessdramamoremama.com/191

Investing in Herself: Susan’s Success Story – 188 Mar 15, 2022

Show notes

Just before the pandemic hit, Susan started her own event planning business. So, when no one was traveling or planning events anymore, she found herself stuck in a victim mentality and no longer feeling good about herself and her life. When she reached out to me, she was feeling angry, resentful, out of control, and powerless. She hesitantly, but bravely made the decision to invest in herself and give coaching a try. Tune in to hear how that decision helped her get unstuck and what she was able to achieve. www.lessdramamoremama.com/188

She was in the middle of a divorce after 16 years of marriage, had 3 young kids, and felt completely stuck when it came to rebuilding her life as a single mom. Katie started referring to herself as "Katie 2.0" about three months into our coaching because her transformation was so striking.

How to Move On After a Mama Meltdown – 186 Mar 01, 2022

This episode is a bit more personal than most. I share about two experiences of mine when I've had what I refer to as "Mama Meltdowns." My hope in sharing these experiences with you is that you'll feel less alone/ashamed/defeated, you'll stop judging yourself so harshly, and you'll have ideas for how to move on after a Mama Meltdown of your own. www.lessdramamoremama.com/186
