199 - Reparenting your adult self Nov 18, 2021

Show notes

I got to hang out with Dr. Nicole LePera to chat about reparenting our adult self, which is a pretty buzzwordy term in our industry right now. And I want to break down what does it even mean? And what does that look like to reparent while you're parenting your own children? What happens when those triggers come up from our childhood through our kids.

195 - How to respond instead of spanking Oct 21, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back to the podcast! On today's episode I sit down to chat about other ways to respond to behavior instead of spanking. There's tons of research out there that talks about why spanking isn't productive and how it can actually breed patterns of abuse for children who were spanked to then repeat patterns of abuse in adulthood. So in this episode I'm diving in to what to do instead and how to support our kiddos in the moment in changing behavior and seeing different patterns without using physical force as an adult.

194 - Healing intergenerational trauma Oct 14, 2021

Show notes

Happy podcast Thursday folks! This is one of my favorite episodes that we've recorded for the podcast because I got to interview Dr. Lynyetta Willis who has become a dear friend since this interview. And after listening I think you'll see why, her philosophies are so intertwined with Seed's and she shares some lovely perspectives on how we can look back at our own upbringing with a critical but loving lens.

193 - Why kids lie and how to respond Oct 07, 2021

Show notes

Welcome back everyone! On this episode of the podcast we're chatting about why kids lie. What's the driver behind it, and how can we respond in a way that's emotionally supportive and truly gets at the root. For many of us lying can bring up triggers from our own childhood, social programing, and maybe what we learned about lying or experiences we had around lying. We'll chat about how this might come up and how to tend to those parts of yourself so that you can show up for the tiny human in front of you.
