Happy Wednesday! Today, we conclude the 3 Vital Parenting Decisions Series. If you haven’t listened to the episodes from Monday and Tuesday, check those out first because they lay the groundwork for today’s discussion.

Today's Focus: Practicing extreme self-compassion. It’s essential. My coach emphasized the importance of being gentle and loving towards myself, even when I felt I had failed. This approach transformed my ability to connect deeply with my children.

Self-compassion prevents us from slipping into survival mode, which can lead to negative reactions and disconnection. By practicing self-compassion, we foster a peaceful, connected family environment.

Key Points from the Workshop:

Day 1: Stop energizing off-track behavior with punishments and rewards.
Day 2: Proactively connect with your kids to create lasting bonds.
Day 3: Practice extreme self-compassion to support personal growth and deeper connections.

Practical Steps:

Redefine mistakes as growth opportunities.
Welcome all emotions as part of the human experience.
Practice the "SOS" method:
- Stop: Be present and aware of your thoughts and feelings.
- Open: Approach your thoughts with curiosity and compassion.
- Stay: Stay with your emotions long enough to process them.

Ep #129 Parenting: The Job Where Everyone Thinks You're Doing It Wrong 40:54

3 days ago40:54

40:54

Let's get real for a hot second—ever feel like parenting is just one giant tug-of-war? (And somehow you're ALWAYS the one about to face-plant into the mud puddle, am I right?!) In today's episode, I'm diving into my "Dream Relationship Strategy" – the exact framework I've used to transform my relationships with my kids (including my son who's turning 24 this year—which is WILD because I'm pretty sure I'm still 24 myself! 🤪). What You'll Learn: Why your brain is literally the command center of your parenting (yes, everything starts RIGHT there!) How those sneaky thoughts like "nothing will ever get better" are totally sabotaging your connection with your kids The mind-blowing reframe that turns "my kid is SO frustrating" into "my child is doing the hard work of growing up" (game-changer alert! 🚨) Why Indigenous cultures have been nailing this whole parenting thing while many of us are still struggling with outdated strategies My Favorite Quotes From This Episode: "All of those external tools that I depended on for years, it was better for me to parent without them." "My child is doing the hard work of growing up. I'm honored to be here to help." "Connection teaches more than consequences." Your Homework Assignment (because growth doesn't happen by accident!): Identify one sticky situation where your relationship feels strained Write down ALL your thoughts about it (yes, even the judgmental ones we all have!) Thank your nervous system for trying to protect you (because even those triggered reactions are trying to help!) Create new, empowering thoughts to replace the draining ones Practice visualizing yourself believing these new thoughts Remember: You're not just studying for a test here—you're rehearsing for the role of a lifetime as the parent your kids actually WANT in their corner! Want to become the parent your kids call when they're 25 with GOOD news, not just when their car breaks down? This episode is your roadmap!

Ep #128 Why 'BEING' Trumps 'Doing' in Parenting (And Most Parents Get This Backwards) 59:49

6 days ago59:49

59:49

So there I was, wide awake at 5:15 AM in FREAKING NEW ZEALAND (yes, we're still traveling—more on that later!) with this message practically BURSTING out of me. My body was like, "Andee, get up RIGHT NOW and talk to your people!" So here I am, messy bun and all, coming in hot with some truth bombs about parenting that literally changed my entire life. The Big Juicy Secret I Can't Keep Anymore: Who you're BEING matters waaaaay more than what you're DOING as a parent. Think about it—you could say "time to wake up" with the exact same words but completely different energy: Option A: Frazzled, irritated, rushing (we've ALL been there) Option B: Grounded, present, compassionate Same words, totally different result! And guess what? Your kids have these amazing things called mirror neurons that pick up your emotional vibe INSTANTLY. They're like little emotional WiFi receivers! 📡 Real Talk Moment: Remember when I was first shifting my parenting and thinking, "Why didn't that work? I said the words in a calm voice!" Meanwhile, I was RAGING inside but kept my tone even. Newsflash: the emotions behind our words don't lie, people! The Ultimate Parenting Glow-Up: I'm spilling all my favorite insights from this amazing book "13 Things Mentally Strong People Don't Do" by Amy Morin: They don't waste time feeling sorry for themselves (but they DO feel their feelings—big difference!) They don't give their power away (your teenager's eye roll doesn't control your mood, I promise!) They don't shy away from change (hello, adapting to each new stage of childhood!) ...and there's so much more goodness in the episode! The Story That Still Makes Me Tear Up: So picture little Andee, maybe 10 years old, in our giant brown 80s Suburban (oldest of SEVEN kids, remember?). I accidentally stepped right into one of the homemade pies my mom had made for the school fall festival. 🥧👟 I was MORTIFIED, waiting for the judgment hammer to fall. But my amazing mom just looked at me and said, "It's fine, it's totally fine," and drove on minus one pie. No big deal. THAT, my friends, is someone whose BEING and DOING are perfectly aligned. (Thanks, Mom! 💕) Your Homework (Because I Care): Stop asking "What do I DO when my kid does XYZ?" and start asking "Who do I want to BE when my kid does XYZ?" Game. Changer. Your kids don't need perfect—they need YOU in all your beautiful, messy, authentic glory. (And honestly? That's way more interesting anyway!) Sending buckets of love from New Zealand (only a week and a half left—we're soaking up every second!), Andee 💫 P.S. If you feel like you're failing sometimes, welcome to the club! The people who succeed aren't the ones who never fail—they're the ones who refuse to let failure be the end of their story. Keep going! P.P.S. I'm totally planning a whole episode on the journey of this trip and how it relates to parenting. Stay tuned! 🌏✈️ Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

Ep #127 Relationships 2.0: Why Being Right is Overrated 40:53

10 days ago40:53

40:53

Okay, can we talk about something that's been LIVING in my brain lately? You know that feeling when you're absolutely POSITIVE you need to win an argument with your kiddo... and then suddenly realize that winning might actually be losing? Yeah, THAT. 🤯 In today's episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on something that's about to change your whole parenting game: what if I told you that being right isn't actually the goal? (I know, I know - stay with me here!) Here's what we're unpacking together: 🎯 The mind-blowing truth about relationships (spoiler alert: they're not what you think!) ✨ Why your relationship with your child isn't actually about their behavior (say what now?) 🧠 The secret sauce to difficult conversations that'll make you feel like a connection ninja 💫 My P.E.A.C.E. method that's about to become your new best friend 🔮 A late-night revelation that changed everything (because apparently, wisdom hits different at 2 AM!) Picture this: You're in the middle of a heated moment with your child CEO (aka your strong-willed child) , and instead of trying to prove your point, you've got this magical new way of handling things that actually WORKS. Sounds dreamy, right? That's exactly what we're diving into! Plus, I'm sharing my step-by-step guide to: - Dropping the right/wrong game (because honestly, who needs that drama?) - Listening like a fascinated scientist (way more fun than it sounds!) - Using facts as your secret weapon (they're like relationship Switzerland - totally neutral!) - Turning fear into your superpower (plot twist you didn't see coming!) Here's the thing, beautiful humans: The moment I stopped trying to win at parenting was the moment everything started shifting. And I mean EVERYTHING.

Ep #126 The Hard Day Hypothesis 42:17

13 days ago42:17

42:17

Today's episode is basically what happened when years of parenting, and one very persistent thought about "hard days" collided into what might be one of the most important perspective shifts I've ever had. Grab your favorite drink and let's dive into this game-changing conversation! 🌟 In this episode, I'm diving deep into: Why the most successful parents (and people) are actually the ones most willing to feel negative emotions (mind-blown yet?) The shocking revelation about why there's actually no such thing as a "hard day" (stick with me on this one!) My confession about writing my book and why it took THREE WHOLE YEARS (grammar is still not my bestie, y'all) A totally new way to think about challenges that will revolutionize your parenting journey Real talk: I share some stories about my own journey, including that time I thought going to the store with one kid was THE HARDEST THING EVER (oh, sweet past Andee... just wait until you have six! 😂). My absolute favorite nugget from this episode? "The most successful people are the ones who are most willing to feel negative emotions." Let that sink in for a minute. 🤯 Whether you're currently: Dealing with a Sharpie artist who decided your walls needed "updating" Wondering if your teenager's eye-rolling could qualify as an Olympic sport Just trying to figure out why adulting feels so... adult-y This episode is your permission slip to see it all differently. Because maybe, just maybe, those "hard" days are actually just level-up opportunities in disguise! Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

Ep #125 The Off-Track Behavior Masterclass: Because Timeouts Aren't Working and Oreos Aren't a Solution 40:27

17 days ago40:27

40:27

If you've ever found yourself googling "Is it normal for kids to fight 37 times before noon?" or "How to stop yelling when everything is LITERALLY ON FIRE" – I just dropped the survival guide we've all been desperately needing with this episode! What I'm Sharing In This Episode In this workshop (which was SO good I just HAD to share it on the podcast!), I'm walking you through: 🧠 The Off-Track Behavior Truth : I'm redefining what's actually happening when kids fight, ignore you, or melt down (hint: it's not them being jerks on purpose, I promise!) 😤 The Thought-Feeling-Action Chain : Why you go from "they're fighting again" to completely losing it in 2.5 seconds (and how to interrupt that pattern!) 🗺️ Your Personal Recipe Card : My step-by-step method for creating YOUR personalized emergency plan for those moments when you want to scream into a pillow. ⚡ The Connection Secret : How I learned to stay emotionally connected when every fiber of my being wanted to run away or shut down My Favorite Ah-Ha Moments To Listen For: "Off track behavior is when the kids are not able to stay within the boundaries we've established together. It's an indicator that the kids are struggling and need help." (This definition CHANGED MY LIFE, y'all. I used to think my kids were just being difficult on purpose!) "Your thoughts about them will be dependent on your expectations of them and how well they meet those expectations." (Ouch. Fifteen years ago this one hit me right in the parenting feels. But once I got it? GAME. CHANGER.) The Too-Exhausted-To-Listen-To-It-All Version: Your kids' behavior = information about what's happening inside them (not a personal attack on you!) Your thoughts create your reactions (and you can actually choose different thoughts!) Write down your personal off-track recipe on an actual card so your brain doesn't short-circuit next time Be the calm you want to see (even if you have to fake it till you make it at first!) Be patient with yourself because this parenting gig is HARD and we're all figuring it out as we go xoxoAndee ❤️❤️ P.P.S. In this episode, I talk about how I had to drive through a BLIZZARD to deliver this workshop. That's how important I think this stuff is. So if you're struggling, please know you're not alone – and there's a way through! (And maybe leave a review if this episode was helpful. It makes my day AND helps other parents find us!)

Ep #124 Going All In: Why Half-Hearted Parenting is Like Training for the Olympics in Flip-Flops 50:50

20 days ago50:50

50:50

We're diving DEEP into what it really means to go all in - not just in parenting, but in life. And before you think "Oh great, another episode about trying harder" (I see you, I hear you), this is actually about something completely different. Remember Eddie the Eagle? That gloriously awkward British ski-jumper who showed up at the Olympics having barely ski jumped before (compared to the other competitors)? His story completely blew my mind, and it's going to change how you think about commitment forever. Trust me on this one. In this episode, I'm sharing: Why resilience isn't actually a personality trait (thank goodness, right?) The real reason your "failures" might actually be your biggest wins My slightly unhinged but totally effective $10,000 commitment challenge The Mario Kart theory of parenting (yes, this is a thing, and yes, it's going to make so much sense) Plus, I'm getting super real about my own journey - including that moment I looked at my 2023 photos and had a total "oh honey" moment about my fitness journey. Because sometimes the best way to learn about commitment is to face-plant a few times along the way (metaphorically speaking... mostly). And for my League peeps - whether you're in Pivot or Mastery - you're going to love how this ties into everything we've been working on. And if you're not in League yet... well, let's just say March's Pivot 5.0 is looking pretty tempting right now! 😉 So grab yourself something to drink (water with electrolytes is my go to these days), find a quiet spot, and let's talk about why a "sort of commitment" never won an Olympic medal - and what that means for all of us. Can't wait to hear what hits home for you! With love from the mountains, Andee P.S. If you've ever felt like you're not doing enough, not getting it right, or just generally fumbling through this whole parenting thing - this episode is especially for you. Because sometimes the shortest jump in Olympic history can actually be your biggest win. (Intrigued? Just wait - it's going to make you tear up a little. It did me!)

Ep #123 The Past Only Exists In Your Head (And Why That Changes Everything About Parenting) 46:33

24 days ago46:33

46:33

Hey there, beautiful souls! 👋 In today's episode, we're diving deep into the messy, beautiful world of self-forgiveness and what it really means to "fail" as a parent. Imagine you've just had one of those moments where your kid's room looks like a tornado had a party with a hurricane, and you...may have slightly lost your cool. 😬 We've all been there, right? Today we're unpacking why beating yourself up about it is SO last season, and what to do instead. In This Episode: Why your past only exists in your thoughts (mind-bending stuff, folks!) The adorable children's book "The Sorry Plane" and what it teaches us about giving space for feelings Why Nelson Mandela's "I never lose, I either win or learn" quote will help you fulfill your parenting goals A beautiful forgiveness poem that might make you cry (in a good way!) How to transform your "mom fail" moments into growth opportunities The Thomas Edison approach to parenting - as adapted by me (he "failed" 10,000 times and turned out fine!) Quotable Moments : "If I could have done better, I would have done better" (Your new mantra, btw!) "Forgiveness is for you to give to you first" (Mind. Blown. 🤯) "The past is over - we're now bringing those memories and thinking about them right now" Key Takeaways: Your past isn't a life sentence (unless you keep replaying it on repeat in your head) Being hard on yourself isn't actually helping (shocking, I know!) Judgment keeps you stuck, curiosity moves you forward Your nervous system being activated isn't a character flaw (it's just being human!) Action Steps: Pick ONE recent parenting moment that's been playing on repeat in your head, and practice reframing it through the lens of compassion. (And maybe stick a Post-it note on your mirror that says "I'm doing my best" - trust me on this one! 💕) Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

Ep #121 The Confidence Catch-22: Why Believing You're 'Not Enough' is Actually Keeping You From Being Enough 25:30

4 weeks ago25:30

25:30

Finding your parenting confidence is NOT about being perfect and more about embracing your inner 'I'm totally winging this but also kind of crushing it' energy. Today we're diving deep into the world of self-confidence. The "Not Enough" Trap: Why this thought is about as helpful as chocolate-covered broccoli The moment I realized self-doubt was just being extra dramatic What Elon Musk and broken glass taught me about parenting (stay with me here...) The Wild Truth About Self-Confidence: You can't validate your kids if you can't validate yourself! Why Michael Jordan's training mindset is exactly what we need for parenting The French have it right: I HAVE frustration - NOT - I AM frustrated (oui oui, mes amis!) The Confidence Equation: Growth mindset = Self-confidence factory Fixed mindset = External validation hamster wheel Why failure is just spicy feedback (and how to use it) Try This At Home: ✨ Start a "Why I'm Actually Awesome" list (even if it feels weird) ✨ Practice French-style emotion-having (oui, you can) ✨ Channel your inner confident penguin (they can't fly but strut anyway!)

For everyone who's ever looked at their parenting journey and thought "This is... not what I expected" - this one's for you. Bonus points if you're currently listening to this while hiding in the bathroom for five minutes of peace! Quick question - ever had one of those moments where you're just living your life, and suddenly you find yourself crying over a scrapbook in a random Airbnb while having an existential parenting epiphany? No? Just me? Cool cool cool... 😅 In this slightly tear-stained but mostly joy-filled episode (recorded from the most unexpected taco spot in the Southern Hemisphere) : That lightbulb moment when you realize your most chaotic parenting moments are actually...kind of beautiful? (I know, I know, but stay with me here!) The story of how I went from being the "But Actually..." mom to choosing love instead (featuring: my bed, my stubborn brain, and an early morning revelation that changed everything) A surprise guest appearance by my teen's scrapbook that DEFINITELY didn't make me emotional Plus: What happens when you convince your family to travel the world for six months and somehow end up finding the best Mexican food near actual fjords?! PLOT TWIST: Turns out Jane Austen never wrote about hiding in the pantry eating emergency chocolate, but I bet Elizabeth Bennet would totally get it. Consider this your permission slip to be perfectly imperfect. Because let's be real - if we were meant to have it all figured out, kids would come with instruction manuals! P.S. Yes, I'm still emotional about that scrapbook. No, I'm not taking questions at this time. 😅 Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

Ep #119 Don’t Stop Believin’: The Irresistible Parenting Protocol in 5 Simple Steps 47:01

5 weeks ago47:01

47:01

Hey, hey, my favorite parents! Have you ever found yourself caught in the "should have, would have, could have" trap with your kids? Or maybe you’ve hoped (or begged) they’d just listen this time —and felt that creeping frustration when they didn’t? Yep, I’ve been there, too. In today’s episode, we’re diving into The Irresistible Parenting Protocol —the exact process I use to help parents move from chaos to calm and get their kids to want to listen (without bribes, threats, or ultimatums). I’m sharing the three parenting mistakes that might be sneaking into your daily routines and keeping you stuck in a loop of frustration. We’ll explore how to replace them with easy, effective strategies that create connection—and results. What we’re covering today: The sneaky parenting habits that feel helpful but actually trigger your kids' nervous systems (hint: this is why they shut down or push back). Why your energy matters more than your words—and how to shift from needy and graspy to magnetic and calm. How to set firm boundaries without guilt, shame, or "policing" vibes. You’ll also hear about my run-in with a very kind police officer, a street performer who gathered a massive crowd, and how these real-life moments offer surprising insights for parenting. Trust me, this one’s a goodie! Favorite Takeaway: Parenting starts in your brain. When we become aware of our thoughts and choose ones that serve us, everything changes. Connection is the secret sauce, and it’s easier than you think. So grab your earbuds, hit play, and let’s get into it. You’ll walk away with actionable steps, a clearer perspective, and probably a laugh or two.

Ep #118 When Your Best Doesn't Feel Like It's Enough 48:25

6 weeks ago48:25

48:25

We’ve all had those moments where we put in so much effort, tried so hard, and still fell short. It’s frustrating, humbling, and, let’s be honest, sometimes it makes us want to give up. But what if those moments were exactly what we needed? In today’s episode, I’m diving into what happens when life doesn’t go as planned. Whether it’s your personal goals or watching your kids struggle to achieve theirs, this topic is close to my heart because I’ve been there. (Oh, have I been there.) From learning to drive on the left side of the road to parenting through countless meltdowns, I’ve learned that those “not enough” moments are some of the most important of all. We’re going to talk about why your best sometimes doesn’t feel good enough—and what to do about it. Here’s what we’ll cover: What is “your best,” really? Breaking it down into four parts: skill, attitude, commitment, and resilience. Why failure doesn’t mean you’re falling short —it means you’re growing. The secret to teaching your kids how to handle disappointment by modeling it yourself. How to close the gap between where you are now and where you want to be (without beating yourself up). Why the journey matters so much more than the destination. This episode is full of practical insights and personal stories to help you shift your perspective on failure—for yourself and for your kids. Because when we embrace the messy, imperfect process, we give our kids permission to do the same. A Favorite Takeaway from Today: “When we redefine failure as just another step in the process, it stops feeling like the end. It becomes part of what’s making us .” Here’s the thing: Parenting isn’t about being perfect. It’s about showing up, giving it your all, and knowing that even when it doesn’t work out, you’re still moving forward. It’s about finding joy in the journey—even the messy parts—and helping your kids see that they can, too. Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

Ep #117 This is What’s Happening: The SOS Method for Parenting Without Losing It 29:48

6 weeks ago29:48

29:48

Ever feel like you’re caught in a parenting Groundhog Day? The tantrums, the fights, the endless messes... all while you’re trying your hardest to hold it together? Same. In this episode, we’re diving into something I call the SOS Method —a simple but powerful way to shift out of survival mode and into connection. We’re talking about how to stay present when your brain wants to hit the eject button, why noticing what’s actually happening changes everything, and how to ditch the self-judgment spiral once and for all. Here’s what we’re unpacking together: The magic of “This is what’s happening” —why accepting the moment (instead of fighting it) changes how you show up. Why slowing down is the real parenting superpower. How to hold space for all your feelings (yes, even the messy ones like frustration or self-doubt). The sneaky connection between emotional triggers and your beliefs—and how to gently rewrite the ones that aren’t serving you. My favorite tip for practicing calm before the meltdown happens Parenting isn’t about fixing our kids or controlling every situation. It’s about learning to stay steady—finding that calm center when the world (or your toddler) is spinning around you. And the good news? You don’t have to be perfect to make this shift. You just have to be willing. So grab your headphones and let’s dive in! You’ve got this, friend. Love, Andee Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…

Ep #116 Much Ado About Questions: Turning Good Questions Into BIG Parenting Wins 38:41

7 weeks ago38:41

38:41

Hey, hey, friends this week, we’re talking about something deceptively simple but ridiculously impactful: questions . Yep, those little sentences we toss around in our heads all day long are either helping us grow—or keeping us stuck. I’m sharing a personal story from my recent trip to New Zealand where a tug-of-war over a sea cave (yes, a literal sea cave!) led me to some profound realizations about parenting, connection, and emotional growth. Btw: the way I asked myself questions in the middle of a frustrating moment shifted everything . Here’s what we’re diving into today: Why the questions you ask yourself as a parent are everything . The three powerful questions I use to shift from overwhelm to clarity. How to spot “bad” questions and reframe them into empowering ones. What a park bench, sunshine, and a moment of reflection taught me about showing up better for my kids. You’ll also get some practical tips for keeping your cool when parenting feels like a battle and tools to model emotional regulation for your kids—because, let’s be real, they’re watching everything . 💡 Your Takeaway Challenge: Pick one empowering question to ask yourself every day this week. Not sure where to start? Here are some of my faves: How can I connect with my kids today in a way that feels fun and easy? What small change can I make to create a calmer home? What am I thinking right now, and why am I choosing to think it? As always, thank you for being here! I love that we’re on this parenting journey together.

Ep #115 Great Expectations: Overcoming Victim Mentality to Connect with Your Kids 40:36

7 weeks ago40:36

Ever feel like you're stuck in the blame game? Like if your kids would just behave better , everything would be fine? Oh, friend, this one's for you. 🎙️ In today’s episode of the Connect Method Parenting Podcast, I’m diving deep into two mindsets that can either make or break your parenting journey: victim mentality and vulnerability . Here’s the truth: we all slip into victim mode sometimes—whether it’s blaming our kids, our schedules, or even the weather (hello, rainy day tantrums). But recognizing this sneaky mindset is the first step to shifting out of it. Here’s what we’re unpacking today: The sneaky ways victim mentality shows up in parenting (and how to spot it in yourself). Why vulnerability isn’t weakness—it’s your superpower. 💪 How shifting from blame to ownership transforms not just your parenting, but your entire life. Real-life examples (yep, including my own embarrassing ones) of how to stop the blame spiral and step into connection. I’m sharing tools to help you calm your nervous system, navigate challenging moments with your kids, and break free from the emotional tug-of-war that leaves everyone feeling frustrated. Because when you embrace vulnerability and ownership, you’re modeling emotional resilience for your kids—and isn’t that what we all want? Big takeaways from this episode: Blame is a dead-end street. Ownership is where everything happens. ✨ Vulnerability is about strength, not weakness. You can set limits and stay calm, confident, and connected—even during the messiest parenting moments. Let’s redefine what it means to show up for our kids (and ourselves!) with authenticity and grace. P.S. Got a story about how this resonates? DM me on Instagram or tag me in your parenting wins. I love hearing from you! 💌 Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast…
