    77. Empathy Fatigue: When Compassion Feels Hard

    Have you ever known your child needed empathy, but felt too irritated, distracted, or depleted to care? I’ve been there - and the guilt afterward can be almost as hard as the moment itself. In this episode, we're talking about empathy fatigue: why compassion can feel out of reach even when you love your child deeply. We’ll look at what might be draining your capacity, from the emotional demands of the day to unmet needs of your own. We’ll also explore the difference between being present with your child’s feelings and believing you have to take them on or make them disappear. I’ll share a simple way to notice when you’re reaching your limit, pause without pulling away, and offer the care you can honestly give. Because your child’s experience matters - and yours does, too. ♥ Your Parent Coach, Brittney Join The Parenting Lab ⁠Facebook Group⁠!

    75. The Five Moments Every Parent Gets Wrong (and How to Repair Them)

    Every parent has moments they wish they had handled differently - but what we do after a parenting mistake may matter just as much as the original moment. In this episode, I explore why fear, embarrassment, dysregulation, and old patterns can shape our reactions, and how we can repair without abandoning boundaries or accountability. I’ll also walk you through a practical five-step process for taking responsibility and finding your way back to connection. ♥ Your Parent Coach, Brittney Join The Parenting Lab ⁠Facebook Group⁠!

    74. Every Mother Has a Story: How Motherhood Expands Us (with Kim Marshall)

    Every mother has a story - but many of us have learned to minimize, edit, or keep parts of ours hidden. In this episode, I’m joined by Kim Marshall, parent coach and creator and curator of Motherhood Expanded, a multi-author anthology sharing the honest lived experiences of women across different ages and stages of motherhood. Together, we explore why telling the truth about motherhood can feel so vulnerable, how cultural expectations disconnect women from their own authority, and what becomes possible when our experiences are witnessed in safe community. We also talk about motherhood as an ongoing transformation, why parenting is an inside job, and how our growth naturally reaches our children without requiring them to become someone different. I also share part of my own story with my daughter - how our relationship called me into healing, how we learned to interrupt a generational pattern together, and why beginning later did not mean beginning too late. This is a conversation about the stories we carry, the women we become, and the healing that can begin when someone finally asks us to tell the truth. Find Kim on Instagram at @RootsandWingsChildhood or at rootsandwingsmethod.com. Motherhood Expanded is available on Amazon. ♥ Your Parent Coach, Brittney Join The Parenting Lab ⁠Facebook Group⁠!

    73. Three Questions I Get Asked Most Often (as a Parent Coach)

    “How do I get my child to listen?” “How do I stop yelling?” “How do I know if I’m doing this right?” These are three of the most common questions parents ask me - but the answers aren’t usually found in another script, consequence, or parenting strategy. In this episode, we're exploring what parents are really seeking beneath these questions: control, change, and certainty. You'll learn how to recognize what you can actually influence, understand the patterns behind your reactions, and evaluate your parenting without expecting perfection or using your child’s immediate response as the only measure. You’ll also hear what parent coaching actually looks like - and how it helps parents move beyond solving one difficult moment to better understand themselves, their children, and the relationship they’re building over time.

You can bring your own version of one of these questions, and we can talk about the next step you can take for your family. ♥ Your Parent Coach, BrittneyJoin The Parenting Lab ⁠Facebook Group⁠!

    72. Back to School Anxiety: It's Not Just For Kids

    Back-to-school anxiety isn’t just for kids. Parents carry worries into a new school year, too - about teachers, friendships, grades, learning challenges, IEPs and 504 plans, new schools, and big transitions into junior high, high school, or college. In this episode, we explore the difference between preparing for the school year and bracing for everything that might go wrong. You’ll learn how parental anxiety can shape the way you interpret your child’s experiences, how to separate what you know from what you fear, and how to support your child without passing your worry on to them. You don’t have to predict every challenge to be prepared. You can stay attentive, listen before reacting, advocate when needed, and trust yourself to respond as the year unfolds. Let this year be new - and leave a little room for things to go right. ♥ Your Parent Coach, Brittney Join The Parenting Lab ⁠Facebook Group⁠!

    71. Why Influence Matters More Than Control

    As children grow, our authority naturally begins to fade - but that doesn’t mean our guidance has to disappear. In this episode, we explore the difference between control and influence, why control can feel so reassuring, and how parents can build the kind of trust that allows their voice to matter even when the choice no longer belongs to them. We’ll talk about compliance, boundaries, emotional safety, repair, and the difficult truth that influence never guarantees a particular outcome. Because control may change what children do while we’re watching...but influence becomes part of who they are when we’re not. ♥ Your Parent Coach, Brittney Join The Parenting Lab ⁠Facebook Group⁠!

    70. The Power to See: The Art & Science of Witnessing

    What does it mean to feel truly seen - not just noticed, listened to, or known by the roles we play? In this episode, we explore the power of witnessing: seeing the person within the experience and meeting their truth with both honesty and humanity. We’ll look at how witnessing strengthens relationships, changes the way we respond to our children, loosens shame, and helps us reconnect with parts of ourselves we may have lost along the way. Because sometimes, we need someone to remember who we are until we can remember for ourselves. ♥ Your Parent Coach, Brittney Join The Parenting Lab ⁠Facebook Group⁠!
