Confessions of a Parent Coach Ann Kaplan

Coparenting, Marriage, Partnership - all relationships hit hard times. If things feel shaky in your relationship, if you are separated and still plagued by your past relationship, or if you and your co-parent have already decided to part ways, this week's episode is for you.

It's normal to be wondering or worrying about the way these things will affect your child or your parenting. And you might feel very alone.

On this episode of the podcast I intend to show you that you are NOT alone; not even close. And that there are ways to help yourself that make these decisions clearer and less scary, keep you parenting well through this hard time, and ensure you come out the other side a happier, healthier version of yourself forever!

Listen in to hear my own story of separation and to learn about Conscious Uncoupling - the technique originated by Katherine Woodward Thomas that I use to help my clients navigate even the most rocky times in their relationships. It is a beautiful companion tool that saves so many people lost in the quagmire of relationship trouble.

If you're going through this awful time, I am here for you, and I can help. It starts with a free Discovery Call where I learn your story and start you on the road to a whole new way of being with yourself and your child.

Sometimes parenting feels like crap. That's probably not news to you. But. it might be news that those crappy feelings could be a sign that you're on the right track. I recorded this week's episode of Confessions of a Parent Coach right after a parenting moment that left me feeling like absolute dogsh*t. I wanted to cry and scream all at once. Listen to the episode to learn why true authoritative, attuned, and unattached parenting feels awful sometimes.

If you're ready for this awful, righteous, healthy, challenging, and ultimately triumphant way of parenting, I'm here for you! I will teach you to stay present while you and your child go through something sucky instead of letting your fears and ego push you toward quick solutions that give you a temporary hit of satisfaction and relief but actually solve nothing and degrade the parent-child relationship.

You CAN get there, I promise, and it starts with a free Discovery Call where I hear your story and start you on the road to a whole new way of being with your family!

It's not about you! It's another one of my tough love lessons this week on the Confessions Of A Parent Coach podcast. Listen in as I share a huge blunder when I was definitely making some things about me and getting in the way of my kid, big time.

As parents, we sacrifice for and think of our kids so much. It might seem impossible that we could make anything about ourselves, but the truth is that we do it all the time.

This week's episode will help you see where you might be doing this, understand how to handle it when you are, and get clear on how this behavior might be holding you and your family back. If you are sick of just hearing me in your AirPods once a week and want to get me in your corner for real, check out my group program and set up a call to see if we're a good fit.

What if happiness is your most powerful parenting skill? On this week's episode of Confessions Of A Parent Coach, I'm sharing stories from 2 of my clients who created big change with their kids, simply by raising their own self concept. I'll teach you how the way you see and feel about yourself impacts every aspect of your family's ability to function. Can you imagine feeling so solid in yourself that you know you're exactly what your child needs, and you're not afraid to give yourself the support and experiences that make it possible to be 100% YOU at your best? You CAN get there, I promise! It starts with a free Discovery Call with me where I hear your story and start you on the road to a whole new way of being with your family!

I'm supposed to be compassionate, but what if I don't feel sorry for my kid?! This happens all the time! We might buy into the idea that loving consequences delivered with neutrality is the way to go. But that doesn't mean we actually FEEL loving or neutral! On this week's episode of Confessions Of A Parent Coach, I'll teach you how to hack into your empathy, even when your kid is on your last nerve. This might be my most actionable episode yet, so get ready for tools you can start using TODAY!

Are you ready to do more than 'fake it til you make it' with your kid? How awesome would it be to truly feel empathy and compassionate connection with them, even when they are taking their lumps and maybe even blaming you for it? This kind of parent-child relationship is nothing short of blissful and you CAN create it, I promise! It starts with a free Discovery Call with me where I hear your story and start you on the road to a whole new way of being with your family!
