22. “Egg Time” - Mommy Hormones

I live in a house with all dudes. And it can be very frustrating when my boys don't understand what's going on for me every month. Our moods, capacity, ability, energy, etc are very much dedicated by our hormones. As a result, sometimes I’m a LOT more fun and have a huge burst of energy to do all the creative projects. And others, I have zero battery, I’m easily triggered and have a much shorter fuse. I wanted my kids to understand at a young age what happens for mommy each month, why, and how to be more supportive around it so there is zero stigma, shame or embarrassment later in life. We are very open about what body parts are, what they do, etc. so teaching my boys about periods will be no different in this house! And a big announcement! The ResponseABLE Parenting Community Group is now available! You will have daily access to even more parenting strategies.  Every month you’ll have direct access to me in our LIVE Q&A sessions, exclusive monthly workshops, weekly skill building exercises and more!

Om Podcasten

We come to parenting with all the patterns we learned in our own childhood. Together in this podcast, we uncover the roots of our reactivity and grow in education, capacity, awareness, and skills so we will be able to respond vs. react to our strong-willed children. The beauty of this process is as you become a ResponseAble Parent, the “misbehavior” of your children will lessen, the yelling will fall away and a new level of companionship and cooperation will take its place. Welcome to the journey of ResponseAble Parenting. Take a deep breath in, slow exhale out, and let’s get to work.
