Less Drama More Mama

In this episode, I talk about the reasons it can be challenging to accept parenting help, and I explain all the reasons why signing up for a mini-session with me is a smart decision. Find out why many moms find it so difficult to accept help, why talking with a life coach can be more helpful than talking with a friend or family member, and the benefits of signing up for a free mini-session.

Guilt is one of the most common feelings my clients experience. And it's one of those emotions that keeps us stuck in the past and unable to take action or behave in ways that move us forward. In this episode, I share some stories about my own experiences with guilt and how I overcame them. http://www.lessdramamoremama.com/005

Next week is Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. It marks the beginning of a ten day period during which we reflect on our lives and think about where we may have "missed the mark" -- where we made mistakes or didn't behave in ways that were kind, loving, or honest. In this episode, I share why the process of self-reflection is so important, and give examples of some questions to ask yourself on a regular basis. http://www.lessdramamoremama.com/004

One of the questions I get asked most often as a parent coach is, "How do I stop yelling at my kids?" Every morning you wake up with the intention of keeping your cool, but somehow by dinnertime, all bets are off. You've lost all control of yourself and your kids, and you can't seem to get it back. This week on the podcast, I'm going to share why you feel so out of control and how to start responding, rather than reacting. http://www.lessdramamoremama.com/003

When Marissa was a toddler, I started yelling a lot because it seemed to be the only that "worked." It got me the short-term results I wanted, and it helped me feel powerful and in control. But I hated myself. I knew intellectually that I wasn't being the kind of mom I wanted to be. I knew that Marissa didn't deserve to be yelled at, but at the time I didn't know how to stop. In today's podcast, I share a little bit about my story and the insight that helped me regain my self-control and inner calm. http://www.lessdramamoremama.com/002
