Show notes

Is your home loud and chaotic? That's not necessarily a bad thing. There is a time for lots of noise and fun! However, learning how to bring more awareness and quiet in your home can allow for the bandwidth to recharge and recover, truly making your home a sanctuary.

In this episode, we share the lessons learned from our "Quiet Experiment" when our children were 4, 6 & 9, and what guidelines we set for bringing more awareness and peace in our home.

IS MY KID READY TO "ADULT" AFTER 7,650 DAYS? Jul 26, 2023

Show notes

7,650 days - that's the number of days you have your child before they turn 18 and are considered a legal adult...whether they are ready for it or not.

Instead of "flipping the switch" to adulthood, look at it more as the turning of a dial - that will continue to go up a notch with every life lesson and experience we have.

Nathan and I talk about our insights from my interview with Nellie Harden last week, and we share why discipline is important....and most likely not what you're thinking here. You'll have to listen to find out!

Teenagers, Adulthood, and the 3 Foundational Elements to Thrive Jul 19, 2023

Show notes

I'm back with a guest, and a lot of talk about those teenage years! Nellie Harden is a wife, mother, family life and leadership writer, author, and speaker who is passionate about helping parents raise the next generation with a strong foundation of worth, esteem, and confidence. Her own journey of lacking these qualities when she left home led her down dark and difficult paths.

Nellie believes that parenting is like being an architect, where the responsibility is to plan, design, and build the beginning of someone else's life. Drawing from her previous experience working with animals and their clear purpose of preparing them for life, Nellie approaches parenting with the intention of raising adults rather than just kids. She is determined to make the highest impact possible in her own daughters' lives by instilling in them a foundation of worth, esteem, and confidence to launch them into the world.

Tune in to hear about fostering 3 foundational elements in your children (and yourself), the 5 needs we all have, and some simple steps to repair relationships and foster deeper connections in your home. Full blog digging deeper and video here: https://www.mamasaysnamaste.com/nellie-harden-teens

Rules - are they too extreme, or necessary in a home? This week we share an acronym of RULES that addresses the parameters to make a home thrive. We like to call them guardrails - and everyone is a part of making them - not just the parents.

8 Fights Worth Picking With Our Kids Jun 07, 2023

Show notes

This episode was inspired by a social media thread that was shared titled, "8 Fights Worth Picking With Your Kids". While we aren't quite fans of picking fights with anyone, we agree with the 8 components he shared as a battleground worth standing on.

So here is our take - shifting the fights to nudges, and calling out us as parents to model what we want to see in our kids. From food fights to reading to battling boredom, some things are life skills that aren't simply a kid battle, but a recipe for the batter of life, and the beautiful cake you want to produce.

What are your biggest desires to impart to your children?
