Episode 77: Harsh self-talk Sep 07, 2021

Show notes

In our most recent episode on harsh self-talk, we discuss the disconnected domination culture and how it is based upon shame, guilt and self-judgment. We explain how children come to have harsh self-talk, and what we can do as parents to respond in helpful ways. We share the two ways that children can learn harsh self-talk from us, and what our children are inviting us to do when they are judging themselves. We also share about our own journeys from harsh to compassionate inner dialogue.

Show notes

In this episode, we talk all about extended family, focussing mostly on grandparents. We share lots of different ideas about how to navigate the journey of parenting in ways that are different from our parents.

Episode 75: Powerlessness Aug 23, 2021

Show notes

In this episode, we talk all about powerlessness, such an apt topic for these times! We discuss the sources of powerlessness in the wider culture and in mothering itself, as well as specific ways to heal old powerlessness feelings and feel more truly powerful in the present. We share about how we can tell when the feelings of powerlessness that we are feeling are from the past, and how we can support ourselves to actually feel more truly powerful in the present.

Episode 73: Teens and limits Jul 21, 2021

Show notes

In this episode of The Aware Parenting Podcast, we discuss setting limits with teens and how we can create opportunities for healing and growth. We explored our reactions and responses and what teens might be needing when they are upset. We looked at the different reasons teens may be looking for limits and how looking behind the behaviour can be helpful. We also discussed the power of connection to elicit co-operation and how using punishments can create more unwanted behaviour. As always, we delved into our own internal stories and what could be helpful when meeting big feelings in our teenagers and what we may have wanted from the adults in our life when we were younger.
