115: Feel the Joy of a Healthy Couple Relationship with Erin and Stephen Mitchell

As couples, it is inevitable that we argue sometimes and that's understandable because even though we are married or in a relationship, we are still two different human beings with different personalities. And a few of the many questions I get on parenting is that... Is it okay to disagree in front of our kids? How do we do that without harming them? How can we still feel the joy in marriage despite the disagreements? To help me answer these questions, I brought in Erin and Stephen Mitchell. They are a couple who has been married for 13 years. Erin works as a Writer and Relationship Educator while Stephen is a Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, and Professor. Together, they have the privilege of creating couples courses to provide relationship education and make couples stronger. If you want more support, follow Erin & Stephen on Instagram.

Parenting is often lived in the extremes. It’s either great joy or chaotic overwhelm. One moment you’re nailing it and the next you’re losing your cool. I want to help you find your way to the messy middle, to a place of balance. You see, balance is a verb, not a state of being. It is a thing you DO, not a thing you ARE. It’s an action, a process, a series of micro-corrections that we make, each and every day, to keep ourselves feeling centered. We are never truly balanced, we are engaged in the process of balancing.Hello, I’m Dr. Laura Froyen, and this is the Balancing Parenting Podcast, where overwhelmed, stressed-out, and disconnected parents go to find tools, mindset shifts, and practices to help them stop yelling at the people they love and start connecting all delivered with heaping doses of grace and compassion. Join me in conversations that will help you get clear on your goals and values and start showing up in your parenting, your relationships, YOUR LIFE, with open-hearted authenticity and balance.
