Ep 6262. Why Human Design Profiles Matter (Especially for Parents)

Think Human Design is just about Type and Strategy? Nope—your Profile might be the missing key to understanding why you connect easily with some people… and constantly clash with others. In this episode, I break down: What the 6 Human Design profile lines really mean (in real life—not textbook jargon) How your profile shapes how you parent, partner, and show up in the world Why knowing your kid's profile might just save your sanity Whether you're a 2/5 like me, or you're raising a sassy 3/6, this is the kind of insight that can actually change how you show up with your people. 💡 Because when you understand the story your energy is telling, you stop fighting it—and start working with it.

Ep 5757. I don't want to parent like I was parented

Can you relate to this statement: "I don't want a parent like I was parented"? We often feel that our parent was too lenient, so we tend to be stricter, or a parent was too strict, so we tend to be more lenient. Or perhaps your parent was so involved that you feel the need to be super involved or vice versa. During this episode, we'll talk about what leads to these different parenting types and the power that you have to really choose to parent in an intentional way that helps you feel more aligned with how you're showing up for your kiddos.

Ep 5656. The first step to tackling behaviors - in all relationships

Last week, I gave a brief overview of the 4 mistaken motivations that are the underlying cause of most, if not all, of our human behaviors. Our behaviors come from 5 core needs, and when we understand these 5 core needs and then look at behaviors through the lens of mistaken motivation, we show up totally differently. But there's a catch. There's a really key component that we must do first before we really can step in to using this Mistaken Motivation strategy. In this episode, I'll outline exactly what that 1 thing is that we must do if we want to change our most important relationships for good. I can't wait to hear your thoughts.

Ep 5555. What's really leading to behaviors...

Do you feel like you've tried every behavior management strategy under the sun, and nothing seems to work for your child? I've been there. I tried positive behavior strategies, reward systems, consequences, therapy, medication, accupuncture, EMDR, time-ins, time-outs, giving rewards, taking away privileges - you name it, we tried it! And yet nothing seemed to work. In fact, in my home, the behaviors just kept getting worse and worse and worse. I was so desperate to try to fix the behaviors that I didn't know what else I could possibly do. I was exhausted trying all of these things, and if you had suggested to me that I try one more thing, I probably would have told you where to stick that strategy LOL. I'm not encouraging you to do something more. I'm encouraging you to take a listen to this powerful episode, and take a step back and look at your child's behaviors through a totally different lens. A lens that I feel confident you've probably never looked at those behaviors through before. When you start to see your child's behaviors, or even your partner's behaviors, through the lens of Mistaken Motivation, your whole view of how to address behaviors totally changes. It's not about doing more, or expending energy that you don't see that you have. It's about seeing what's actually causing the behaviors in the first place and addressing that instead of spending all your energy on putting all these band-aids on. So take a listen to this episode.
