In this episode, I interview Kathy Bowers, an experienced parenting and life coach with over 20 years of expertise in social care and children's services. Bowers shares her journey from being a nursery nurse to becoming a family support worker, then transitioning to a performance coach, and finally founding her life coaching practice.
The discussion delves into the importance of communication, setting routines, handling challenging behaviors, and creating safe spaces for children. Bowers emphasizes the significance of listening to children, supporting their individuality, and not comparing oneself to other parents.
She also offers a unique perspective on managing parenting stress and fostering strong, positive family dynamics. The episode concludes with Bowers providing information on her coaching services, including how interested individuals can reach out to her for exploratory sessions.

The episode covers topics like being on autopilot, doing too much all the time, and having a lot of unfinished projects. I also emphasize the importance of slowing down, delegating tasks, and specific instructions for family members. The episode concludes with a call to action to download a cheat sheet on getting kids to help and tidy up at home.
