    On-air Coaching Call time! We love these episodes because they are real-life and unscripted. Today I am chatting with Megan and her main question initially was "How do I react when my daughter does something that's really unacceptable?"...but the real question was "How do I regulate my emotions enough to do what I know I should be doing?"In this episode you'll find:How to respond to toddlers who are doing their work (biting, kicking, etc).How to respond to our kids when they have done something (like break a television) that they don't understand fully.A REAL LIFE PARENTING MOMENT that illustrates exactly what we talked about above - and then we unpack it.Why we sometimes regulate and sometimes we can't...and what to do about it.Here is a link to the IG Video that shows some fun breathing exercises: https://www.instagram.com/stories/highlights/18097717303157364/Connect with Lynn on instagram @HappyMamaWellness.

    Amelia Kriss is a Drama Therapist and Certified Coach in private practice in the Bay Area, California, where she lives with her husband and two powerhouse daughters. She works primarily with recovering people-pleasers and "Nice" girls who are ready to deconstruct self-shrinking patterns, and find more ease & joy. Amelia is also deeply committed to Birth Story Medicine work; helping birthing parents integrate, and move forward from, unresolved issues connected to the experience of giving birth. She believes that supporting parents through birthing as a rite of passage is an important (and too often missing) piece of creating healthier & happier families. Amelia is also a Certified Daring Way™ Facilitator and a director for therapeutic theatre. She is deeply interested in the connection between our personal healing journeys and our collective liberation. What we discuss in this episode:Amelia shares her own postpartum journey and the moment her husband asked her how she was. Her answer surprised her and helps to frame her transition into motherhood.What it really means when we get the message after a birth that says "Mom and Baby are healthy and happy."Why it is so important to prepare birthing people for the psychological and spiritual identity changes that come with the physical experience of birth. Why the information preparing families have access to leans towards one of two extremes and why both sides are just not complete. "Most of us hold both sides; fear AND trust."Growing humans is a bad-ass thing and we are strong enough to think about, and prepare for, all potential outcomes.What it means to be "empowered" as a parent. You have life experiences you can draw on as you prepare for birth. And how birth is like going on a hike.Amelia shares about her Group Coaching program - how she designed and it and how it will help expectant parents.How society steers us wrong in birth and motherhood and why Redefining Motherhood exists. How motherhood is not a role or an archetype but an experience.Lynn shares the experience that jolted her out of "survival mode" in motherhood.Amelia connects for us that there is a level of death/change/rebirth that takes place in the transition into motherhood. How it is mixed and messy and dynamic. How there is a ying and yang. Resources and Links:Website: https://ameliakriss.com/Instagram: @akcollaborativeUncharted: Anchoring Yourself in the Wild Terrain of Giving Birth Group Program: www.birthingforreal.com To book a Birth Story Medicine session with Amelia: https://ameliakriss.com/birth-story-medicineNewsletter for Pregnant People called Soft Cheese: https://ameliakriss.com/soft-cheeseConnect with Lynn on instagram @HappyMamaWellness.

    Ep. 37 - Five Things I Wish Someone Had Told Me Before I Became a Mama

    Play Episode Play 60 sec Highlight Listen Later Oct 21, 2022 16:39 Transcription Available


    The truth of matrescence, or the transition to motherhood, is that it's messy. It's overwhelming. It's a period of intense transition where you your mind, body and spirit feel out of control and you don't recognize the person in the mirror. You lose your confidence. You're caught between two worlds. You're stumbling to figure out who this new person is. What she likes. What she fears. What she needs. When you listen to your inner voice and go against the grain, you get Mom-Shamed and bullied...by other people going through the same thing you are. So when we say motherhood is hard. This is what we mean.And it's also beautiful. Mixed in with the exhaustion, the ambivalence, the guilt are moments of pure elation. Gratitude. Inspiration. Awe as you watch your child grow. You are on separate journeys of discovery...but you get to do it together and that is an incredible gift.So far all the Mamas out there who feel like they're failing. Who feel numb. Who feel burnt out and overwhelmed. Who feel alone. Who feel drained. Who feel deceived by society's narrative of motherhood, this episode is for you. These are the five things I wish I'd been told about motherhood before I began matrescence.Mamaste, Lynn Connect with Lynn on instagram @HappyMamaWellness.

    I came across the words of Iain S Thomas and it struck a chord. Here is what he wrote:Before your children came, they were told you would love them.So whatever you do, however you treat them, to them, it is love.If you are cruel to them, they will think it is love.If you yell at them, they will think it is love.If you ignore them, they will think it is love.If you walk away from them, they will think it is love. And if you are kind to them, they will think it is love.And if you are gentle with them, they will think it is love.And if you listen to them, they will think it is love.And if you hold them tightly, they will think it is love.Because we cannot point to anything that exists and say, ‘This is love.' So you will teach your kids every day they're with you what it is. And one day, when someone else treats them the way you treated them, they will say, ‘This is love.'"__________________________________________If you enjoyed this episode of the Redefining Supermom Podcast, leave a review on iTunes!

    Ep. 6 - Creating a Family Team Using Chores and Jobs

    One of the questions I get a lot from Mamas is "how do I get my kids to cooperate without having to yell and nag all the time?!?!". One of my recommendations is to create a family team - both in atmosphere and in practice.A family team requires that everyone work together to achieve common goals, that everyone's voice is heard and no one person is more important than another. There are many aspects to this amazing dynamic, but the one I focus on today is using chores to bring the team together.Want more inspiration and insight on creating family teams and parenting without yelling, nagging and discipline?

    The last couple years have been mentally stressful for kids and adults alike. We know that kids tend to "bounce back quickly", but that tends to make us feel like they are immune to mental health struggles...and that mindset could not be more wrong.Our guest for Episode 3 is Jacquelyn Lazo. She is a Mental Health Advocate for kids and the author of the book "Comeback Kids: A Pocket Guide to Post-Pandemic Parenting". As a Parenting Coach, I have found this book to a true guide and manual for self-care, self-awareness and starting really difficult conversations with our kids.If you're ready to take your head out of the sand (because many of us have been hiding there just to keep moving forward in survival mode) and become more self-aware so that your emotions and experiences are not silently driving the train, you have come to the right place.___________________________________________________________________________Jacquelyn Lazo is a writer and Mental Health Advocate for kids. She discovered her passion for helping families develop meaningful relationships that improve the mental well-being of young children and adolescents while working with Save the Children and UNICEF, among other humanitarian organizations. She recently published "Comeback Kids: A Pocket Guide to Post-Pandemic Parenting", which she co-authored with child and adolescent psychiatrist Dr. Frank DePietro, MD, PhD. "Comeback Kids" shares relatable, practical tips and strategies to help parents cope while caring for their kids' social and emotional well-being.
