| 121. My strategy for a regulated holiday | 24 Nov 2025 | 00:21:24 | |
In this episode I share how to approach the holidays from a nervous system perspective. When there is prediction there is less friction. So we are not leaving the days up to chance. We are creating focused blocks of time that engage our children in activities they like and want to do. We are prioritizing what they want to have happen and we are creating a little mystery with some special time blocks as well. Additionally, with extended family, let's get them on board by creating a menu to choose from where they get their 1:1 time, but with things that are predictable and accepted. And finally, the main key to making this all work is the regulation breaks that help us transition out of one activity into the next. I hope this serves you very well this holiday and I can't wait to hear how you implement this strategy!

| 21. Listener Question - Should I Allow Social Media? | 11 Dec 2023 | 00:10:46 | |
This is such a tricky topic. Most of us were raised in a time without phones in our pockets let alone social media. A lot can come up for us around this topic. We want to make sure we are protecting our children from unwanted bullying, pressures and images. We want to keep their innocence as long as possible. AND we don't want them to be left out, embarrassed, or made fun of for not having access to the same things their friends do. In this episode, I share a few ideas on how to have this discussion with your children. I explore questions to ask so that we have a more neutral approach and come to the table with fewer judgements and more openness so our children feel heard and understood in the process of this decision. Ultimately I cannot answer whether or not your children should or should not be on social. My hope and goal would be for you both to have a more empowered conversation and feel solid in your path forward together. | |||
| 20. Listener Question - How Do We GET Our Children To Do Something | 27 Nov 2023 | 00:18:49 | |
In this episode, we dive into a listener's questions about how to get their son to practice. I talk about how we as parents can "future project" when our kids won't complete the simplest task we are asking them to do and how that projection can distort the way we respond to and treat our children. I share some skills to help gain a better understanding around what is going on for us (childhood beliefs and default patterns) as well as for our children and how to be more compassionate and both feel like our needs are getting met. | |||
| 19. My Messy Morning | 13 Nov 2023 | 00:12:52 | |
I too struggle with chaos. I am an extremely reactive person and hold onto anger and frustration for a long time. It's something I've always done and one of the big reasons I started parent coaching. Without tools, I'm a reactive mess! In this episode, I talk about a recent morning where so many things seemed to go wrong that I was completely drained before the day even began. My morning got messier and messier the more I tried to stay in logic mode. I was stuck in problem-solving mode and in reality, if I had stayed in empathy, the problems of the morning would have likely resolved themselves. In this episode, I share some steps that I took (not executed nearly as well as I wanted) to keep us in connection in spite of the domino effect that was my messy morning. | |||
| 18: How Feng Shui Can Support Your Parenting Interview with Patricia Lohan | 30 Oct 2023 | 00:39:15 | |
In this episode, I get the pleasure of interviewing Feng Shui expert Patricia Lohan. Patricia shares incredible stories of how small shifts in the home transformed her clients' jobs, relationships, and spilled over into their children's lives. Trouble with homework? There's a feng shui answer for that. Siblings fighting, there's a feng shui answer for that too! Patricia shares so many doable ways to start improving the energy of your home and therefore your family! | |||
| 17: Default Parents Aren't Allowed To Be Inconvenient | 16 Oct 2023 | 00:12:38 | |
I'm a little fired up about this topic! Because it's true! Default parents are NOT allowed to be inconvenient. We are in constant service. We are the ones making sure all wants, needs, ambitions, feelings, etc are being tended to, nurtured and cared for and serviced. And when we are off, the whole family is off. Being all things, for all people, at all times is not sustainable. It's exhausting and not right. In this episode, I talk about ways to shake it up a bit and become a little less convenient as the default parent!

| 16: Childhood Beliefs Around "Goodness" | 02 Oct 2023 | 00:11:48 | |
Today we dive deeper into childhood beliefs around being "good" and your "goodness" as a person. I share more stories from my Telluride adventure with my parents and what I've been able to uncover since. From this trip, I've been able to connect the dots between my performative goodness and my real goodness. I have since realized that as a pastor's daughter, it was vital to my dad's appearance and success for his family to be a reflection of his goodness. Growing up in this space, there was a deep understanding or expectation of showing "good" behavior at all times. When we did this, and did it well, we had more validation, and more connection, and it felt like we had more value. So in my brain, the neurons that fired together were "goodness / worthiness," and they became deeply wired. Fast forward to a trip with my parents and my kids. My kids weren't performing to the same level of goodness that was expected of me as a child and so my wiring was going crazy. My value, my worth, my goodness felt in question because my children were not acting in accordance with my childhood expectations. I reacted from that place and did more to preserve the connection to my father, than I did to stay in connection with my son. This is a heartfelt discussion on external validation and I hope it brings light and clarity into areas within you that feel tricky and sticky when you are with your parents and your kids at the same time.

| 15: How to respectfully teach your children respect | 18 Sep 2023 | 00:08:14 | |
I get a lot of feedback on my Instagram reels about how I am NOT teaching my children to be respectful. While I could debate that, I don't need to waste my energy because I know that's not true AND I know that I'm teaching my kids "respect" but in a different way. I am teaching my kids kindness, empathy, compassion, how to work in a group setting, generosity, and how to make a kind request vs. a demand. I believe respect can only be learned once it is modeled. And the only way it's truly integrated and not a forced behavior is when it's modeled TO your children. So I model respect by simply asking "Is that a request or a demand" when they ask me for something. Instead of shaming them into respect by saying "You're not allowed to talk to me like that!" I calmly say "Hey buddy, was that a request or a demand?" They instantly understand that they've barked an order, and they adjust by adding please, they adopt a different tone, and they ask a complete sentence soaking in "respect." I haven't had to beat the idea of "say your please and thank yous!" into them. They understand it because we practice dozens of times a day on how to make your words land with kindness and generosity vs. demands and orders.

| 14: Cycle Breaking: What Happens When Your Village Doesn't Approve? | 04 Sep 2023 | 00:15:34 | |
In this episode, I dive into cycle breaking around our families. I share why we are triggered the way that we are and what we can do to maintain our clarity and focus on our goals. I share a story about my very real triggering moment when on vacation with my family and how I was able to get sucked down my subconscious rabbit hole of what "should be." I share a story about how everyday triggers can pop up and how to use those triggers to gift your children a toolbox of skills they will use throughout their lives. Cycle breaking is incredibly difficult. Add on the extra layer of your caregivers weighing in on your actions and it can be overwhelmingly triggering. Here is some context as to why and ways you can dig yourself out. | |||
| 13: Gentle Parenting is Not Just For "Gentle Kids" | 21 Aug 2023 | 00:09:46 | |
This is a fun episode! I share my response to the reels going around Instagram and TikTok that have a video of wild children doing crazy things and the voice says "I'm sorry but gentle parenting is for gentle kids…I've got gangsters." For the record, in most if not all of these videos, the children are doing totally developmentally normal exploration. Anyway! The truth is, that gentle parenting isn't really for the kids at all! It's a comprehensive set of tools to support PARENTS so we are better equipped at handling our adult temper tantrums before putting more of our stuff on our children. And when we can do that we are giving our children an enormous life long gift! We are allowing our children to grow up and develop into adults who are fully seen, heard, understood, validated, valued, and respected. But doing this we are healing wounds of our own as we give our children the gift of self realization and total love and acceptance. This type of parenting isn't just for challenging kids. It's for all kids, and quite frankly all parents. | |||
| 12: Aggressive Kids | 07 Aug 2023 | 00:14:12 | |
In this episode, I discuss our stigma of anger and aggression and how to accept, instead of reject, this totally normal human emotion. It is so easy for us to try to avoid anger, try to correct aggression, and try to move away from this "bad" emotion because it makes us uncomfortable and brings up a good deal of fear and uncertainty. But the irony is that we model anger and aggression and more often than not match our child's aggression with our own. Our intention is to stop the behavior but instead, we are just reinforcing the pattern. In this episode, I share how to match their energy, not their aggression. I share a step-by-step process which will arm you with the script for the next time you experience aggression with your children. | |||
| 110. The sneaky primal emotion that could get you out of a power struggle | 08 Sep 2025 | 00:12:56 | |
How many times do you hear a sassy response from your kid and it launches you into full reaction mode? After you think "why couldn't I have done that differently?" And the next thought is "But HOW do I do that differently?" This is the episode for you. I walk you through a new way of using a primal emotion to your benefit so that you can actually engage in better communication and find a smoother outcome! Also don't forget to watch the replay of the Rewire Your Reactions Free Workshop! It will give you an even more in depth breakdown of how to rewire these negative patterns to come out more grounded and connected! 🎉REWIRE with ResponseABLE Parenting is HERE!!!🎉 You will never need to frantically reach for another script, tool, or strategy again!

| 11. How Do We Make a Meaningful Repair? | 24 Jul 2023 | 00:17:13 | |
This is one of my favorite episodes! In this episode I talk about how our deeply rooted, traditional belief systems about children's behavior affects our ability to repair when we blow up at them. When we lose our cool on our children, these belief systems allow us to justify our reactions. I share how we can start to dismantle these beliefs and I offer a step by step formula to follow when we rupture the relationship. I believe that our kids are worthy of repair. And the more we model how to apologize and correct our misbehavior the more they will model and learn from that. If we want our children to be the kind of people who apologize and do what's right, then we need to be the leaders and the examples of how to do that at home and with them. | |||
| 10. Windows and Mirrors | 10 Jul 2023 | 00:12:20 | |
In this episode, I share a softer way to explore and explain the similarities and differences our children will notice and experience in the world. I also talk about ways to view our children's behaviors, not as triggering actions that need to be fixed, but rather helpful insights into the areas that still need healing and work within us. When we get too wrapped up in the narrative of "others" we lose the ability to explore and grow and see the human in front of us. I offer insight and advice on how to take those triggers and turn them into meaningful growth for not only you but your connection and relationship with your children. | |||
| 9. Listener Question - How to Manage Disrespectful and Defiant Behavior | 26 Jun 2023 | 00:24:17 | |
In this episode, we explore a listener's question about how to manage their 7-year-old son's disrespectful behavior. We explore themes of defiance and control and I offer suggested scripts and techniques to meet their child's developmental needs. When we as parents are experiencing a lot of defiance and push back from our children this is a clear sign we are running low on connection. I give several examples of how to get your children in the driver's seat of choices to give them some control to flex their growing sense of self and also ways you can build connections so collaboration becomes more frequent. If you relate to this listener and would like to share your stories, please send me a message on social or send me an email.

| 8. Reconnect With Your Teen Through Curiosity (Interview with Reece Anderson) | 12 Jun 2023 | 00:35:34 | |
In this episode I interview Reece Anderson, founder of We Overcome Anything out of Australia. His 8-week program helps parents get out of their own way in order to support their teens, create more positive connections, lessen conflict, and find more ease in the relationship. Through his own battles of mental health and working in the sector, he realized a large disconnect with teens and parents. The number one thing he's heard from teenagers throughout his work over the past 5 years is that they are not heard by their parents. Reece works with both parents and teenagers to help build connection, curiosity & respect for themselves and each other. In this episode we talk about ways to reconnect with your teenager, how to get curious and engage with them in a way that draws them out vs. sends them away, and some first steps to starting a new relationship with your teen.

| 7. P.O.O.P. | 29 May 2023 | 00:09:56 | |
Sometimes this nervous system regulation "stuff" can feel super unattainable and challenging. In this episode, I share with you a silly acronym I created in my house for my family that helps bring some humor into the equation. P.O.O.P. is the funny way to get back into emotional regulation and back into the driver's seat of parenting. P: Pause O: Observe O: Orient P: Play This is just one more tool in our ever-growing toolbox as parents to model regulation and help our children understand themselves and the world around them.

| 6. Listener Question - How do I Deal with my Son's Picky Eating? | 15 May 2023 | 00:18:33 | |
Challenges around food can be incredibly stressful for parents. Not only do our children NEED food for body and brain development but meals and snacks happen many times a day EVERY SINGLE DAY. Today I am doing a deep dive on picky eating and how we as parents can pivot and adjust our methods to shift the negative narrative about food. I hope this serves all of the parents out there struggling with food. If you relate to this listener and would like to share your stories, please send me a message on social or send me an email. And if you'd like a pressing question answered, don't hesitate to reach out! | |||
| 5. How Do We Become Less Reactionary Towards Our Kids? | 01 May 2023 | 00:13:32 | |
In this episode, I look at how our unmet needs and nervous system dysregulation contributes to how we react to our children. I break down ways to uncover default patterns in your life, how to identify your most important need(s), and how to create a grounding practice to regulate your nervous system. This will help you build your patience reserves in order to have more capacity for your children. You'll hear me discuss the Green, Red, and Blue "Pathways." Here I am referencing the book Beyond Behaviors: Using Brain Science and Compassion to Understand and Solve Children's Behavioral Challenges by Mona Delahooke, PhD.

| 4. Parenting in the Wake of Another School Shooting | 17 Apr 2023 | 00:09:59 | |
Every day we drop our children off at school can be a very triggering experience in today's United States. When I recorded this, the latest school shooting had occurred in Nashville, TN leaving 3 children and 3 adults dead. As parents, it can feel as though our hands are tied and we have no choice but to roll the dice every day. In this episode, I talk about ways we can shift the dynamics, and model ways AT HOME to safely discharge anger, frustration, and pent up emotion. I talk about making a radical shift as parents and showing up for our children in such a way that they don't feel so alone. It is our JOB to do the work on ourselves to be better and show up better…if not for ourselves, then for our children
| |||
| 3. Our Kids Are Our Dysregulated Dumping Ground | 03 Apr 2023 | 00:12:56 | |
We all have so much triggering our nervous system daily. It builds and builds until we snap and react. And often that's at our children who were just making a bid for connection. Today I start the conversation about how we can adjust our dysregulation dumping ground away from our children and find a safer more connective way to release this tension. | |||
| 2. Understanding Our Default Patterns as Parents | 03 Apr 2023 | 00:33:06 | |
I dive into why we act the way we act. Our past experiences define how we show up as parents and its up to us to uncover the roots and do the healing work in order to show up for our children the way they deserve. I share real examples of how to break down your nervous system cues in order to show up with with more emotional intelligence and self awareness, which leads to greater connection. | |||
| 109. What to do when your kid refuses to do what they said they would! | 01 Sep 2025 | 00:21:57 | |
I don't need to tell you how aggravating this moment in parenting is. You've made the agreement, your kid got a win, all you're asking for is for them to follow through and now they're NOT🤬 We've all been there and usually that creates quite a power struggle.

| 1. How It All Began | 03 Apr 2023 | 00:18:45 | |
Trigger warning: I talk about my stillbirth in this episode. My oldest son was not even 3 when his preschool advised us that he had behavioral issues. This started us down a 2+ year path to "get him in line." I share what we did, what didn't work, and how it rocket-launched me into this journey of parent coaching. | |||

| 107. Shift Happens when we look for the "try" | 18 Aug 2025 | 00:07:45 | |
It is so easy to correct our kids over and over. Especially when it's the same repetitive behavior that is beyond annoying. However this is RESULTS focused correction. And when we don't get the results we want, we get angry, we get annoyed, and OUR default pattern of reaction comes pouring out. *And lets be honest, probably with greater intensity than it deserves because of our emotional trigger. In this week's shift happens episode I talk about shifting away from the results and looking more towards the TRY. When we notice our kids trying we can see that they are in fact shifting in the direction of the results we're after. But we're giving it time and we're not loading on the shame. This is a quick mental reframe and I hope it serves you as much as it served me! GET REGULATED! We kick off LIVE as a group July 1-30th.

| 106. Defend Young Minds - A very important conversation about pornography | 11 Aug 2025 | 00:49:33 | |
This was an incredible conversation with Kristen Jenson - author of the best selling book GOOD PICTURES BAD PICTURES. Please check out more info on Kristen and her books below. I learned so much about our children's accessibility and vulnerability to images that can have a huge impact on their brain development. I also had no idea it could start so young. Even if your children are in Kindergarten or below, please take a listen to prepare for the reality that faces our kids at a very young age - especially when they have access to ipads or phones.

| 104. Threats on a road trip | 28 Jul 2025 | 00:16:43 | |
On a 5 hour road trip my boys started fighting over the most benign thing…a book. I share the annoying details, the default patterns we fell into when we hit our breaking point, and ultimately what I did to recover the moment. It highlighted for me just how important it is to have regulation practices built into the day. How they cannot be back burner, "if I can get to it today" actions. These moments in parenting show us our tolerance level. And we are only as effective as we are regulated. Knowing that everything is tied to the nervous system it's crucial we adopt nervous system regulation practices as parents. It's the way through the tough moments. If you haven't already joined, head over to Fast Way To Regulate (just below) and dive in. You'll get a masterclass in regulation practices and be able to read your patterns faster and faster as you begin to embody regulation practices into your life. GET REGULATED!

| 103. The reason it's not working | 21 Jul 2025 | 00:20:24 | |
In this episode I share more about that really frustrating cycle of trying something to break a negative cycle, it not going well, and then how we can often compare our journey to others - which creates more shame, self judgement, and tends to further solidify the negative pattern we're trying to get rid of in the first place. But don't worry, I don't leave you in that :) I also share how to change that. I offer a lot of mindset shifts and tools to start using in order to creat real, meaningful, but most importantly AUTHENTIC change in your parenting. GET REGULATED!

| 90. Is Empathy Weakness? | 21 Apr 2025 | 00:17:29 | |
In this episode I address whether or not I believe empathy is a sign of weakness. Or "weak parenting." Elon Musk has been in the news saying "the fundamental weakness of western civilization is Empathy." However I think it's one of the biggest strengths for humanity. When we can SEE each other, when we can seek to understand each other we are in fact stronger. Both personally and as a nation. I invite you to listen and think about how you were shown empathy as a child and how that's impacted your ability to show empathy as a parent. And if you're ready to start shifting towards empathy.

In this episode I share the 5 reasons I see that gentle parenting isn't working for you. These are what I'm seeing across comments, questions I get asked weekly, my client's perspectives and community members.

I hope this brings some insights and of course please connect with me if you are called to work together.

| 88. Understanding your child's brain-based differences | 07 Apr 2025 | 00:39:38 | |
This episode is a wonderful conversation discussing how we as parents can shift our focus, our reactivity and the lens in which we view our children with brain-based differences. You get to hear from expert Eileen Devine on how she approaches parenting frustrating behaviors from a skill deficiency lens vs an intentional defiant lens. I hope you enjoy this conversation and feel hopeful in how we can start to shift as parents with our children whose brains function differently. Bio: Eileen Devine is a licensed clinical social worker and founder of Brain First Parenting. She lives in Portland, Oregon with her husband and two teenage children, one of whom lives with a serious brain-based difference. She has over 20 years of clinical experience and for the last dozen of those years, has focused solely on supporting parents who have kids with neurobehavioral conditions. In addition to her clinical work with parents, she facilitates dozens of workshops and trainings each year for parents, teachers, and mental health professionals and is a trainer for the Center for Adoption Support and Education's (C.A.S.E.) accredited Training for Adoption Competency (TAC) Program, where she instructs other clinicians across the state of Oregon on what it means to be an adoption and foster competent therapist. https://www.eileendevine.com/ FREE GUIDES! 4 steps to get you through your kid's meltdown without snapping!

This episode answers a question I got over on Instagram. If you don't follow me there please connect at @ ResponseABLEparenting This parent was really struggling with their toddler falling on the ground and using their weight against them in the middle of a tantrum. We've all been there, when we say no to something and our toddler all the sudden goes completely dead weight and falls to the ground in a full meltdown. This can be very triggering, embarassing and frustrating. I share how we can soften in these moments by understanding our children's developmental abilities and the steps I would take to move through this moment and maintain connection as well as teach them the behavior I would like to see going forward. I hope this episode is supportive and gives you some insights into managing these really annoying tantrums we experience throughout our kid's development.
