Musings with Me @ Butterfly Effect
A Podcast for Parents, Teens & In-Betweens covering topics around Communication, Leadership, Purpose, Well-being & Law of Attraction - Not as woo woo as you might think.
Whether it's Parenting, Health, Wealth or Happiness, it all comes back to Who we Choose to BE and How we Show Up in the world, along with the practical actions we take, to create lasting change.
With a background ranging from Primary teaching, being a parent, incorporating mindfulness, to Health & Well-being Coaching, I have gained a 'wee bit' of life experience & put into practice the skills to create change in my own world.
In this podcast I share my thoughts on the highs, the lows & the in-betweens, as well as the techniques I have learned along the way, in the hope that it inspires you to CHOOSE YOU and your family, make lasting change, and to know You are NOT Alone.
Musings with Me @ Butterfly Effect
Allowing our Kids to Breathe - Episode 18
In this episode I muse over the topic of Allowing our Kids to Breathe – and ourselves of course.
My mentor, Kate Ruby Aroha, talked about connecting into the messages that light you up or get your blood pumping – making connections around what matters to you, and it got me tracking off into these questions …… because it was such a big thing for me when our eldest daughter was going through her teen years.
Can I be in the space that my children need me to be in, when they need me to be there?
And the honest truth is that we can’t always be in that space because we are dealing with our own shit at the time as well.
And Remember:
When we change our inner world, we change our outer world, not only for ourselves, but for those around us too. The Mental, Physical & Emotional parts of ourselves affect each other, and impact how we engage with the world.
I work as a Transformational Mindset & Well-Being Coach, supporting Parents to redefine their Well-being, Purpose & Who they want to be, outside of kids - We often lose who we are when we have a family. Then when they go to school or start to find their own feet in the world, we may be left wondering who we are apart from being a parent, and what purpose we have now. We might feel anxious about the future & the decisions we need to be making, what sort of role-model we are for our kids, or how our own well-being is affecting our family - Pouring from an empty cup, serves no-one.
In these podcasts you will find conversations and practical techniques & tools that are short and easy to include in your day.
