    Track 2: The Art of Speaking Up with Amy Green Smith

    Episode 2 is here, and we're talking all about speaking up and "boundary-ing" up with family. My guest is Amy Green Smith, a certified and credentialed life coach, hypnotherapist, masterful speaker, and courageous communication expert. Amy is a long-time client of mine, and I am thrilled to share her brilliance with you! Amy shares: Why it might be hard to speak up around family  How people-pleasing and speaking up for yourself are closely connected The importance of tapping into emotions to inform when you need to be an advocate for yourself Her 3-prong approach to creating and enforcing boundaries The art of the soft entry into difficult conversations with family and friends Speaking up to family about respecting your child's likes and dislikes How to talk to other adults when their child infringes on your child's personal space/values/beliefs Amy's approach stands out because she emphasizes finding one's voice with kindness and thoughtfulness, even in potentially difficult conversations. As the podcast series moves along into future episodes that focus on parenting and challenging traditional parenting techniques, I encourage you to revisit this episode for a refresher on boundary creation and advocating for your choices and your children.

    Track 5: Empowering Our Kids: Bullying Awareness with Dāli Rivera

    I am delighted to welcome parenting coach Dāli Rivera to the podcast! Dāli joins me to discuss bullying prevention and awareness for our children. "Bullying is evolving." Bullying is no longer just happening in schools. Back when I was a kid, the internet did not exist. But bullying now extends to online in the form of cyberbullying and can also continue to happen as adults enter the workforce.  So what can we do as parents if we find our their child is a victim of bullying? What if we were bullied as a child - how can we prevent our own "stuff" around bullying from affecting our children?  Dāli and I get into those questions and so much more! Dāli shares: The types of bullying (it's not just physical!) Confidence is the #1 anti-bullying tool How to respond to your child if they tell you they are being bullied Some ideas around how to be assertive and stand up to bullies What to do if you think your child is a bully or exhibiting bullying behaviors Adult victims of bullying - why processing your experience and emotions around it is important. Should you forgive your bullies? The most significant gift you can give your child is the gift of confidence and self-love. About my guest: Dāli Rivera is a highly skilled parenting coach focusing on bullying awareness and prevention education for parents of middle school-age children. With her expertise, she equips parents with the necessary tools to effectively advocate for their children and navigate the experience in a positive and healthy way. She is also the creator of the Diversity & Anti-Bullying Academy (#DABA) and owner of DaliTalks, L.L.C. Dāli is a U.S. Army veteran, speaker, parent to two teen girls, and wife of an Army veteran. Dāli earned a master's degree in Women & Gender Studies from Towson University. Dāli's passion to stop bullying comes from her own experiences as a bullied child and from having become an advocate for children, including her own. She has dedicated herself to sharing her knowledge to help families thrive, and promote equality in their own communities.

    Track 6: Talking to Your Kids About Sex with Amy Lang

    We are getting a little awkward and weird in this episode, as we explore the topic of talking to kids about sex. Amy Lang, a seasoned sexual health educator, helps to unpack the best ways to approach conversations about sex and puberty with children of all ages. We cover why starting these discussions early can be crucial, how to navigate the puberty talk, and how to tackle serious subjects like consent and sexual assault. This episode is a reminder to parents that it's okay to accept the uncomfortableness you may feel during these conversations, but equally important to have them, and move through these uncharted waters with your kids, together. Amy shares: What research reveals is the best time to start talking to your kids about sex and how to start! Navigating puberty, periods, and masturbation—what to say and how to say it How parents can foster open and honest communication so kids feel safe coming to them (or a trusted person) about sexual assault, whether it happened to them or someone they know Why sharing inappropriate pictures is always a terrible idea About my guest: Amy Lang has been a sexual health educator for over 25 years. With her lively, engaging, and down-to-earth style, she helps parents become comfortable and confident talking with their kids. Amy's books, online solutions center, and podcast show parents they really can become their kids' go-to birds and bees source. Amy is still married to her first husband and they are getting the hang of parenting their recently launched man-child. She lives in Seattle WA and you can learn more about her work at BirdsAndBeesAndKids.com and BBKPros.com.
