    The Will for Change: How Small Shifts Can Transform Your Parenting Journey

    Welcome to another episode of Thriving Parenting! Today, we’re diving into something profound yet often overlooked: the will for change. Change is hard, especially in parenting, where our instinct to protect and sacrifice can sometimes overshadow our own needs. In this episode, I explore why finding the will to change is essential, especially when it comes to sleep and overall well-being. As parents, we’d do anything for our children, even depriving ourselves of sleep and comfort to keep them secure. But that intense protective instinct can sometimes hinder logical thinking, especially in those challenging sleep-deprived moments. We look at how to manage our protective instincts so that they benefit both us and our kids. By understanding the “will” behind why we need to change, like needing more rest or wanting more energy to enjoy life beyond just parenting, we unlock healthier habits that support our children’s growth—and our own peace of mind. Throughout this episode, I share personal insights, client stories, and practical motivations for change. We talk about how something as simple as wanting to reconnect with your partner or having energy to pursue personal goals can be a powerful motivator. Change isn’t easy, but finding your will can make it possible. Key Topics Discussed:Parenting Instinct vs. Logical Thinking: Understanding when instinct can take over and how to bring balance for the well-being of both parent and child.Benefits of Change in Sleep Routines: How addressing sleep habits can lead to more personal freedom, connection with partners, and overall family happiness.Motivators for Parents: From reclaiming personal time to feeling energized enough to exercise or socialise, discover what might motivate you to embrace change.Coping with Sleep Deprivation Positively: Avoiding the trap of letting exhaustion become an identity and finding healthy ways to manage challenges.Empowering Yourself for Better Parenting: Realising your own worth, your needs, and how small changes can bring significant rewards for the whole family.

    If I Could Go Back: 3 Lessons I Wish I Knew as a First-Time Mum (Part 1)

    In this episode of Thriving Parenting, we delve into the emotional journey of becoming a parent for the first time. I shared three important lessons I wished I had known when I first became a mum, having now accumulated 12 years of parenting experience and reflection. The episode explores managing anxiety as a new parent, emphasizing the necessity of trusting oneself and the parenting process. It highlights how mistakes are not just inevitable but beneficial for growth, as they foster resilience in both the parent and the child. The episode also discusses the misconception that a baby's mood is directly linked to a mother's capabilities, encouraging parents to accept all emotions as part of their child's development. By sharing personal anecdotes and the support she received from family, the host provides insights into coping with societal pressures and self-judgment. This episode is intended to offer reassurance and perspective to first-time parents, reminding them that it's okay to let go of perfection and embrace the unpredictable nature of parenting.

    Understanding Fear-Based Parenting: Navigating Baby Sleep Challenges

    In this episode of Thriving Parenting, I address the fears that often drive parenting actions, particularly in the realm of baby sleep. I explain how such fear-based decisions can result in feelings of being trapped, stressed, and overwhelmed. Highlighting the differences between fear-driven and choice-driven parenting, the episode encourages parents to become more attuned to their motivations and to make decisions that truly align with their instincts and beliefs. Real-life examples from clients, including a mother who learned to trust her instincts and successfully transitioned her baby to cot sleeping, underscore the benefits of moving beyond fear. This episode also discusses societal pressures and the misconceptions they create, urging parents to embrace a variety of parenting approaches based on what feels right for them. Practical tips on recognizing and managing fear responses help parents foster a calm, supportive environment where both they and their children can flourish. Ultimately, the episode empowers parents to trust themselves, embrace change, and create a joyful and fulfilling parenting journey.

    Thriving with Two: Making the New Sibling Transition Easier with Gen Muir

    In this episode of the Thriving Parenting Podcast, I engage in a detailed conversation with Gen, a Social Worker, parent educator, founder of Connected Parenting, Author of the new parenting bible Little People Big Feelings, Co-host of Beyond the Chaos Podcast, and Mum to four boys. Gen shares her personal experiences of raising four boys, highlighting that the transition from one to two children is often the most challenging for parents. She explains the reasons behind this difficulty, such as the need to manage the demands of two children at different developmental stages and the potential struggles of the older child in sharing attention and resources with a newborn.  Gen also offers practical advice for parents to navigate this transition, including strategies for building connections with older children, setting and enforcing loving boundaries, and understanding the emotions behind difficult behaviors. She emphasises the importance of preparing oneself as a parent rather than focusing solely on preparing the child.  The discussion also covers how small acts of connection and empathy can significantly impact a child's adjustment to a new sibling. Gen's insights aim to reassure parents that it's okay to feel overwhelmed and stressed during this period and that through patience, empathy, and consistent connection, families can find their rhythm and thrive.

    From Yelling to Healing: Understanding Anger in Modern Parenting with Steph Beers

    In this enlightening episode of the Thriving Parenting Podcast, I invited Steph Beers, a fellow motherhood coach, to explore the complex emotions that often accompany motherhood, particularly anger. We dive deep into understanding anger as a secondary emotion, commonly masking feelings like hurt, guilt, and overwhelm. Through personal anecdotes, we discuss the importance of self-awareness and emotional regulation in managing these intense feelings. Steph shares practical strategies, including the benefits of shadow work, setting healthy boundaries, and involving self-care practices like exercise and seeking help. We also address common parenting challenges, such as balancing self-care with parenting responsibilities and overcoming societal expectations that contribute to mum guilt. The episode highlights the critical role of communication and the positive impact of modeling emotional intelligence for children. We encouraged our Thriving Parents to adopt respectful parenting practices and to seek support when needed, ultimately aiming to create a more sustainable and joyous parenting experience. About Steph Beers: Steph lives in Darwin with her husband and 3 children. After a rocky road into motherhood, she landed in shadow work and motherhood coaching, helping other mums reclaim their identities as mums, cut the yelling, and heal their trauma so they can become the mother they always pictured themselves as.
