    The Power of Being a Real Human: Unpacking Expertise

    Let's weave this together: celebrating certifications, expertise, and defining how you are an expert in your life, health and family. In today's show, Wendy celebrates achieving the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). She discusses the significance of credentials in her coaching journey and emphasizes the importance of authenticity and human connection. Wendy highlights the value of being a genuine, imperfect human being and how it forms the core of her approach in Family in Focus programs. Wendy encourages listeners to embrace their authenticity to model that for others and invites them to join the last group program for the Spring season.

    A Conversation for Teens and Parents: Creating Supportive Relationships

    Welcome to my very special listeners, teens! Today I want to share some videos I recently created to answer the question, "What does a supportive relationship look like between an adult and a teen?"   Well there are two folks to consider in this question and I answered with what can be considered by teens trying to figure out WHY they would ever want to connect with adults, and how adults can be welcoming and supportive to teens.   Please feel free to go to the blog or YouTube to see the video versions of both aspects and watch with your teens. There is such wealth in exploring perspectives on both sides of the relationship, which largely involves trust, safe spaces and vulnerability. I welcome your input, ah-ha's and questions. As always, you can drop me a line at wendy@wendyschofermd.com. Full show notes available here. YouTube version of Episode #110 here. Calling all Healthcare Professionals: I'm so glad you're here, to benefit yourself, your family, and your patients.

    Shake It Off: How to shift when you're stressed

    You're zapped, trying to focus on getting that report done. Or from the kids running on your nerves all day long. And the kids are having a meltdown and just arguing with each other, raiding the cabinets and doing anything but homework. What do you do? In today's episode I explore the concept of the "Shake Off," and I swear I'm not singing Taylor Swift the whole time (I.do.not.sing!). What is shaking it off? What does it do? How does it change your physiology? Why does that matter? Let's dive in! Full show notes available here. YouTube version of Episode #109 here.

    Are you playing ping pong or chess with your kids?

    As a parent, are you playing ping pong or chess with your kids? It's not all about the games, it's about the approach to being with them. In this episode we talk about taking some lessons from Improv Comedy and apply them to working with our kids. No one approach is better than another, but is it possible that your go-to (like my strength of being a Maximizer) is keeping you from fully having the experience you want at home? Let's talk about health, habits, strengths (and their downside), the responsiveness in ping pong, the future planning and being in the moment. Whether you call it meditation, mindfulness, awareness, presence or something else, let's explore together. As you will find from a story about a client's use of awareness, it completely changes our relationship with ourselves and our family. Full show notes available here.
