    46. Make Peace with Imperfection

    As a recovering type-A perfectionist, one major theme of parenting for me has been learning not to freak out when things don’t go “perfectly.” In this episode I sit down with my husband to talk about the simplicity-complexity-simplicity paradigm, which has helped me embrace imperfection as a necessary step in the process of becoming whole.

    45. Inconvenient Blessings

    Have you ever found yourself one inconvenience away from a mental breakdown? That was me, just about a week ago. But in this episode, I'm laying out a perspective that has helped me shift from counting my inconveniences to counting my blessings. Whenever any inconvenience arises, I'm asking myself "Who would see this inconvenience as a blessing?" I'm thinking of pioneer parents, refugee mothers, and pretty much anyone who lived 200+ years ago. The truth is, in this day and age we are pretty dang spoiled. And the saddest part is that most of us are MISSING IT. While life certainly still has its challenges, we are so lucky that we get to navigate those challenges with the convenience of modern transportation, electricity, grocery stores, plumbing, heating, air conditioning, the list goes on. Listen in to shed a little light on all the blessings you might have forgotten about. And you might find yourself welcoming each new inconvenience as an opportunity to reflect on how lucky you are.

    44. Leading Children with Relationship, Identity, and Grace: An Interview w/Kurt Francom of Leading Saints

    Join me in this very special episode for an interview with Kurt Francom, Executive Director of Leading Saints. Leading Saints is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping Latter-day Saints be better prepared to lead. Kurt Francom leads the organization and hosts its podcast, which is one of the most listened-to podcasts in the Latter-day Saint community with over 21 million total show listens. Kurt is also the author of Is God Disappointed in Me? Removing Shame from a Gospel of Grace, a #1 bestselling book. In this episode, Kurt shares some of his favorite leadership principles and how they apply to parenting. We discuss how parenting is a leadership role, and therefore any good leadership principle can guide parents in their relationships with their children. This episode left me with three main takeaways: relationship comes first, identity is the antidote to shame, and grace empowers. I’m feeling inspired to parent in more godly, grace-filled ways, and I hope this episode leaves you feeling the same. Resources Mentioned: leadingsaints.orgIs God Disappointed in Me?

    43. Regulating the Nervous System with JESUS

    If you’ve been listening to this podcast for any time at all, you know that one of my core beliefs is that in moments of emotional turmoil, the best thing we can do for our kids is to BE the calm that they need. Rather them tell them “calm down,” we show them what calm looks like and let them catch the calm from us. But what do you do if you DON’T feel calm? What if you, the parent, need a little bit of help finding calm yourself? This episode is for you. We’re going through six tools that have helped us in moments of high emotion. And we’re seeing these tools work for our kids as well. The coolest part is that each of these physical tools for body regulation is also a spiritual symbol of Jesus Christ, the Prince of Peace. Join us as we talk about how sunlight, water, grounding, food, song, and the stars can give you the solace you and your kids need in moments of trouble.

    42. Happy Birthday to WBM! Updates + the Principle "Show Don't Tell"

    Welcome back to the podcast! In this episode, I'm joined by my husband, Trenton Bird. We're celebrating exactly one year since the birth of Walk Beside Me and introducing you to season 2, including updates regarding what the podcast will be like moving forward. Then we're diving into a principle that has been keeping us grounded as we navigate life with a vibrant toddler and adorable baby: show, don't tell. Over and over we've found that with our kids, actions truly speak louder than words. We're discussing why this is, how we have been applying this principle in day-to-day interactions with our kids, and of course how Jesus Christ is the THE ultimate example of teaching via who He is and what He does in addition to His magnificent words.
