Mastermind Parenting Podcast

Welcome to Randi Rubenstein’s Mastermind Parenting Podcast. So, the big question is this - How do parents like us know that we aren’t messing up the biggest role of our lives, especially when we happen to have a strong-willed kiddo that is constantly pushing our buttons? We’ve all heard that kids don’t come with a manual, so how can we know for sure that we are saying the right things or that we’re getting this parenting thing right. On this podcast for parents of toddlers to teens, we’ll be giving you real tools you can use right away so that your kids will feel like they can talk to you about absolutely anything and everything. At Mastermind Parenting, we believe when your thoughts grow, the conversations in your home flow. This podcast will help you make a crucial shift in your home from the old lecturing style to convos that feel collaborative, connecting and most importantly…PRODUCTIVE.

    Similarities Between Strong-Willed Kids and Strong-Willed Horses!

    Did you know that the parenting tools you learn on this podcast also work with other strong-willed creatures? I’m chatting with Avery “favorite daughter” Rubenstein this time about pack leadership and what she has learned from “Ben, the strong-willed horse”.   I think it’s incredibly helpful to practice the tools you are learning here by applying them to other areas of your life…your work, your adult relationships and even your relationships with animals.  You see, pack leadership is about becoming and remembering the person you were meant to be…the kind of person who shows up again and again with curiosity and badassery.  I think you’re going to love our banter on this episode as well as Avery’s insights about using MMP tools with animals and understanding her equine therapy clients…many of which are on the Autism spectrum.  As always, thanks for listening.

    The Modern Classroom with Rob Barnett (sounds dreamy:)

    Y’all probably know I’m not the biggest fan of the way learning happens in most classrooms…and oh, there are so many reasons.  I have believed for a long time that traditional education is outdated and needs a ginormous revamp. However, I wasn’t willing to homeschool my own kids. I liked the break and having my days as my own. So year after year, I made a “self-ish” decision when it came to my own kids’ education. I always felt a tinge of guilt and don’t really think they received the best.  So I was super excited to talk to Rob Barnett. He’s a former teacher and co-founder of the Modern Classrooms Project. They’re a non-profit that envisions a world where technology can help kids learn at their own pace, by making space for teachers to give every kid the time and attention they need.  Rob’s new book, Meet Every Learner’s Needs, builds on his experience in the classroom and as an education advocate. It’s a blueprint for changing the way kids learn, and making teaching more rewarding. I just know you’ll hear something that you’ll want for your kids in their classrooms!  As always, thanks for listening.

    Is It Ever Too Late To Change Destructive Patterns?

    Is it even possible to continue building your relationship after your birdies leave the nest?  Come be a fly on the wall for one of my catch-up calls with my daughter, Avery. We share a hilarious Modern Fam video and recap our winter break family vacation, including an old pattern that made Avery upset and embarrassed. I think you’re going to love our honest conversation about the “un-pretty” parts of our dynamic.  Avery also teaches us a critical part of Pack Leadership and the term, weaponized incompetence.  As always, thanks for listening.

    Parents Learn Through Stories, Too!

    How exciting is it when you have a conversation that sparks a ton of ideas you want to share? That’s how my daughter Avery and I felt after our chat with Michael DiMartino. Talking about how kids learn through stories got us thinking about how much stories have taught us, both as kids (mostly in her case) and in adulthood (mostly in mine).  Our follow-up conversation takes the focus from the epic right down to the personal. Avery and I talk about some of the favorite books, movies, and TV shows we love, and how the stories they tell have helped us connect with each other. This one is extra good if you’re a parent who’s struggling to see the world from the perspective of your kiddo. No matter what their age, there’s a story out there that can help you remember, and give you a glimpse of what they’re going through now. As always, thanks for listening.

    Kids Learn Through Stories, With Michael Dimartino, Co-Creator Of Avatar: The Last Airbender

    Humans have always learned through stories. It can be easy to forget this fun fact when there are toys and backbacks and shoes covering the floor. AND we still want them to learn morals and values and life lessons.  This is where brilliant storytellers like Mike come in. Michael DiMartino’s stories have had a huge impact on my kids, and children around the world. Mike is the co-creator of Avatar: The Last Airbender, and the author of comic books, novels, and podcasts. He tells stories that are epic and personal, and don’t shy away from tough subjects that real kids experience. My daughter Avery is a huge fan of Mike’s work, and she joined me behind the mic to talk to Mike about creating Avatar, writing his new teen/tween novel  Both Here And Gone, and how he approaches writing for a young audience. It was a great convo, and I’m so excited for you to hear it! As always, thanks for listening. Head over to Facebook, where you can join my free group Mastermind Parenting Community.

From his early days as a storyboard artist, and director on iconic shows like King of the Hill and Family Guy, to his current renown as the co-creator of the Avatar universe, Michael has been a driving force in the world of fantasy and animation for years. With his latest book Both Here And Gone, Michael is pushing the boundaries of his storytelling further. The coming-of-age YA novel dives into profound themes of loss, grief, mental health, philosophy, and teenage emotions through the gripping story of a 14-year-old. The self-published book diverges from the signature fantasy concepts Michael is widely known for and is a shining example of his unique position as a storyteller balancing big studio projects and personal artistic goals.

    My Take On The Art of Parenting

    Recently, I was a guest on “The Art of Parenting” podcast. The host, Jeanne-Marie, asked some great questions and you might even be surprised by some of my answers. We discussed what it means to have a strong-willed child and why I like to use that phrase. She asked me about my approach to helping these sw kids. And of course, we talked about one of my favorite topics to spotlight: Performative Parenting. We ended with the advice I would give my younger self, and everyone who’s just starting out as a parent. It was a treat to be on the other side of the mic, and I can’t wait for you to hear our convo.

    A Mastermind Parenting Masterclass (with Avery Rubenstein)

    My daughter, Avery, is first-gen Mastermind Parenting, (once removed:) .  The “once removed” was her description -  “the MMP recipe was still being perfected:)”.  She’s grown and flown now, but it’s been fascinating to watch her put Mastermind principles into practice. These days she probably teaches me more than vice versa. Avery is on the pod this week to share some wisdom that I think you’re gonna eat right up.  She shares a few real life stories - what the “how” looks like - how to talk to kids when they are about to flip out. It’s an empathy masterclass. As always, thanks for listening. Head over to Facebook, where you can join my free group Mastermind Parenting Community.
