    Raising Kids with Connection not Fear with Celia Kibler

    In this episode of The Connection Compass Podcast, I am delighted to have sat down with the truly inspiring Celia Kibler, mother of five and Founder of Be a Better Parent, the Day of Calm Foundation, and Fun Fit Family Fitness. Celia has spent her life working with children and parents, on a mission to stop 10 million parents from yelling at their kids. We dive into what it truly means to parent intentionally, why yelling never produces the child you hope for, and how parents can create calm, connected, and confident families. Celia also shares her insights on boundaries, letting kids explore safely, managing parental fears, and how to focus on what’s right instead of what’s wrong. Plus, we touch on her inspiring global initiatives, from the Be a Better Parent app to building a school in Uganda. Whether you’re a parent, educator, or just someone who wants to understand modern parenting better, this episode is packed with practical advice, heart, and hope.

    The Energy of Words: Parenting, NLP & Conscious Communication with Karen Shaw

    Today I’m joined by the wonderful Karen Shaw parenting coach, author of Parenting Magic, and founder of Energy Inspired Coaching. Karen’s journey began through her own parenting experiences, which led her to explore communication, connection, and the powerful role our words play in shaping not only our children’s lives but our own. In this conversation We dive into NLP and what it really means, the energy behind the language we use every day, and how conscious communication can completely transform our relationships. Karen shares why “try” doesn’t carry the same direction as “do,” how words can harm or heal, and why no one can “make” us feel anything even when it feels that way.We talk about creating new patterns and beliefs, the importance of awareness, and those hard but powerful realisations that allow us to step out of victim mode and into empowerment.Karen also shares how Parenting Magic became not just a book about raising children, but about relationship magic as a whole and how slowing down, knowing your truth, and focusing on what you do want can shift everything. From parenting to menopause, from thoughts to vibration, this episode is a reminder that energy matters and so do the words we choose.
