We often see our kids with these devices in front of their faces all the time. We are worried that they might lose interest in a lot of other important things because of this. Parents, it is now more vital than ever to get our kids back into the natural world to expand their minds, and let them learn how to connect and communicate with others. This is one of the many reasons why camps are so important to be there for our kids. With powerful principles, Kathy Farley has taught many young adult leaders about the true essence of leadership. Kathy's 650 trained leaders have served more than 350,000 young adults. In this episode, she talks about her book Krushing It!, and how camps help grow and nurture the next generation of leaders. Don't miss her inspiring story on how she ended up being the owner of the huge summer camp in Southern California as a single mom. “It (camps) promotes self esteem, they learn a sense of community, they learn a sense of commitment and connection which is so lacking these days. Their connectivity with one another, as well as their confidence just booms. The things that they were afraid of when they stepped off the bus on Monday are no longer a fear by Friday.” - Kathy FarleyAbout our Guest:Kathy Graves Farley was born into nature in Honolulu, HI and this exposure to the power of the water set the tone for the life that has followed. From an early age Kathy also had a profound interest in proving she could do anything she set her mind to do, and quickly learned that doing things right was the only way to do them. In her near 30-year tenure as owner of the Ranch, Kathy trained, motivated, managed and supported more than 650 young adult leaders that would impact the lives of a staggering 350,000+ grade school kids; it is simply an astounding number of lives shaped by her philosophies of team, caring, success and leadership involvement. Now, having sold the Arrowhead Ranch Science School, Kathy is transferring her experience, tools and lessons on accepting the roles of leadership, enjoying the journey and positively impacting both a team and its goals. It is her call to arms for young adults everywhere.Kathy has published her lessons learned in a motivational book for young adults that takes the “scary” out of leadership and empowers young people for great accomplishments and self-actualization, setting them a confident path, for life. Her knowledge learned through tens of thousands of hours developing young leaders is captured in the pages of Kathy's book “Krushing It!” 7 Keys to Successful First Time Leadership. She shares her high energy, positive and humorous speaking engagements on college and high school campuses. She also continues to do personal coaching for young leaders 18-25 years old, as well as holding workshops for first-time leaders 14 to 25 years in age. Kathy encourages you to reach out to her for a warm conversation about the importance of putting the right things in place for first-time leaders and her process for assuring their success that has been proven time and again.

Bullying is very rampant in our society. Unfortunately, it has been part of schools for many years. Getting our kids bullied is something that we are really worried about. We all know its danger - it can tear our kids apart. How about the bullies? Have you been called in school because your kid was engaged in bullying? Is there something we can do to make them stop?Suzanne Jean is on the mission of stopping bullying by creating healthy, confident kids that have no need to control other people to meet their needs. In this episode, she will shed us some light on why bullying exists, and how we can stop it by not just taking care of the bullied, but by taking care of the bullies as well. Suzanne also talks about her unique anti-bullying program called PowerEd, where she teaches self-defense to a bully. Sounds odd to you? Listen and understand why Suzanne created this unique and amazing program.“I can't stress this enough that to deal with bullying, you have to acknowledge it as being there. It's amazing how conflict-averse people are, they don't want to deal with it. You've got to acknowledge it, and it takes having everybody involved to be part of the solution.” - Suzanne JeanAbout the Guest:As Director of Fit4Defense Ltd, Suzanne conceived and now operates PowerED, a holistic life program that inspires confidence in participants to be heard, safe in the community and free from abuse through assertive communication and self-defense. The life-changing transformations she witnessed while teaching PowerED inspired her to write her powerful book, “Bullying Stops Here,” in which she shares the true stories of persons who converted fear into confidence, self-reliance, and positive action through the skills acquired in the program. With over fifty years of experience in the design, implementation, and accreditation of community-based programs in the social service field, Suzanne currently acts as Quality Assurance Director at Hollyburn Community Services Society. She co-founded the Kettle Society and Watari Research Association serving as Executive Director for each organization for over ten years. Suzanne has trained in the martial arts since 1975 and teaches karate, tai chi and self-defense. She is an insured member of Karate B.C., holds a National Coaching Certification, a Black Belt in Karate, and in 2014, she passed her Nidan black belt grading.

Death is one of the big taboo things people never like to talk about, on the contrary, it is something that we SHOULD be talking about! We're not here forever. Just like how we should be prepared for the birth of our child, we should also be prepared for our death in the same way.

This piece of blueprint is the first step to that. You get to actually be here with your loved ones, even when you're not here.” - Susan BrownAbout the Guest:Susan Brown, the encourager and simple solutions guru and founder of Susan Brown Coaching, is on a mission to help people just like you reduce the overwhelm and rediscover joy by simplifying their lives.Speaking to audiences large and small, she draws from her own inspirational journey including being bullied, homelessness, 4 miscarriages, and becoming a caregiver to her paralyzed mom.She talks about the hard stuff that most people shy away from, all while connecting in a unique way with compassion and a bit of humor sprinkled in for good measure, coupled with practical strategies.She has been featured in radio, podcasts, as well as online and video and print publications.Susan is an author (highly acclaimed One Year Of Thankful Thursdays and the life changing Peace Of Mind System), content creator, entrepreneur, inspirational speaker, and mindset coach.

Every parent grew up in a different family culture. We have different opinions and values on how we will raise our kids. Our parenting style may differ from our spouse. So, how can parents with different values and styles learn to work together in raising their kids? Relationship expert, Figs O'Sullivan talks about how our family relationships growing up, impact how we parent or set our triggers. He also dives into how parents can use empathy to connect with their kids. We should not let our differences confuse and stress out our kids. We should work together and make our kids feel sure and secure. “I encourage parents to be cultural anthropologists.. Study your own family culture, understand what those values were and see that they're not universally true…One isn't necessarily right or wrong, they just come from different cultures. You're going to get together, and create your own culture.” - Figs O'Sullivan About the Guest:Fiachra “Figs” O'Sullivan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, well-known relationship expert and commander-in-chief to the top rated therapists in San Francisco.

A lot of kids felt like they were being silenced and they're unheard - making them feel unimportant. These are just some of the reasons why parents are struggling about getting their kids to talk to them. We want to feel connected to them. We want to know what's happening to them. So, how can we connect to our kids and get them to talk to us? Our guest, Jackie Bailey founded The Speak Lead Project to help children, youth and adults to Speak with power, Feed others in word and deed, and Lead with positivity. Together with Michelle, Jackie emphasizes the importance of listening to our kids, giving them the time to talk and express themselves. She also gives us some tips on how we can prove to our kids that they're important and we want to hear them. Let's start communicating with our kids in a much better way. “That's really counterproductive when we don't give kids the chance to talk about what really matters to them…They do have important things they want to talk about, and their opinions matter just as much as ours do, probably even more in some cases…They have their own experiences to share, and we need to listen to them.” - Jackie BaileyAbout the Guest:Jackie is the author of SELF-Centered Leadership: Becoming Influential, Intentional, and Exceptional published in 2014, and a 2015 semi-finalist in The World Championship of Public Speaking – placing her in the top 98 speakers of 33,000 competitors.Today, Jackie runs The Speak Feed Lead Public Speaking Studio in Redmond, Washington USA; and is the founder and executive director of The Speak Feed Lead Project, a nonprofit with a mission to empower children, teens, and adults with public speaking skills.Website: https://www.speakfeedlead.org/30 Days free of Positive Priming your Family: https://www.positiveprime.com/jackieb-30-day-challenge/Connect with Blissful Parenting:Free Workshop ► https://www.BlissfulParentingWorkshop.com Website ► http://www.TheBlissfulParent.com/ Blog ► http://www.TheBlissfulParent.com/blog Podcast ► http://www.TheBlissfulParent.com/podcast/ Contact ►http://www.BlissfulParenting.com/contact Follow Us On Social Media:Youtube ► https://www.youtube.com/theblissfulparent Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/theblissfulparent Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/theblissfulparent/ Twitter ►https://twitter.com/blissfulparent Thanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Are you grieving over the death of your child? No parent in this world is prepared for their child's death. They never expect to outlive their children. They're looking forward to those days when their children reach their dreams and goals in life. It's very painful to lose a child, but how much more when you lose not just one but two of your children? How can you cope with this loss?Angela lost her 2 sons when her family got into a fatal car accident in California, while she's in Japan for military duty. Her incredible story of resilience, strength, and her strong faith and commitment to God will surely touch your heart. This could give so much help and inspiration to our grieving parents and to our “forgotten grievers”, our children.“Most people think that maybe on the other side of the world was the worst place possible. But you know what? I needed to be there for a week in order to hear God's voice. Because if I was home, I would have run somewhere. But in Japan, I had no choice but to be still and know that God is still God. Whenever and wherever there's a crisis, Christ is.” - Angela AlexanderAbout the Guest:While I was in Japan on military duty my two eight-year-old sons passed instantly in a car crash. The miracle is God allowed both to write and leave behind incredible good-bye letters.

There's a sea of mom's podcasts out there, but just a handful for dads. Our dads also need support. They need a place where they can celebrate the exciting and rewarding things about having kids and about being dads. They also need a place where they can vent out their struggles and express their vulnerability.Adam Flaherty and Marc Checket started The Modern Dadhood podcast, to set up a community where dads can have a conversation about their joy, their hardships and those insanities of being a dad in this time. Adam and Marc share with us today those knowledge and perspectives they learned by talking to dads of all walks of life. Together with Michelle, they dive into what it means to be a modern dad. “The fact that you're aware of it and talking about it and mindful of it, it's all going to work out, you're not going to fail as a parent simply because you're aware of this thing. If we can elevate the conversation about fatherhood, to something that people talk about openly and regularly with that vulnerability that we've been describing, it helps in any way to make people better fathers, better parents.” - Adam Flaherty About the Guest:Adam & Marc are the hosts of Modern Dadhood Podcast.Adam Flaherty is a dad of two daughters, a husband of one wife, a director and editor of video content, and a lover of the ocean, adventure, watermelon, and a hazy craft IPA.Marc Checket is a dad of twin boy toddlers with an affinity for 80's movies and an insatiable lust for coffee.

Destroying the other one is a big mistake many parents make when they divorce. Talking negatively about someone whom your kids love, will cause them a lot of confusion, and will affect their future relationships.

Try to remove your ego and think what is the best I can do for my kids? How can I help them out? Because every act has consequences.

A lot of marriages have fallen apart, leading to separation and divorce. Divorce is always tough. It dramatically affects everyone in the family, especially the children. Co-parenting doesn't end when the divorce ends, it just begins and will continue for decades ahead. How can you tell your kids about the divorce? How can you prepare and protect your children from the painful impact of the divorce?Rosalind Sedacca, known as “The Voice of Child-Centered Divorce” talks about the ways you can protect your children before, during and long after the divorce. Together with Michelle, they dive into how to deliver the news to the kids in a way that's loving and supportive - putting together a positive and less conflictual divorce. They also talk about the challenges of dating after divorce when you're a parent.“It's getting out of your ego and putting the kids first. It makes a huge difference. Your kids will thank you when they're grown adults, or they'll be very resentful and hold you responsible for the pain that you caused them unnecessarily. It's not the divorce per se that messes kids up, it's how parents handle the divorce. So we have a responsibility and the ability to do a better job.” - Rosalind SedaccaAbout the Guest:Rosalind Sedacca, CDC is recognized as The Voice of Child-Centered Divorce. She is a Divorce & Co-Parenting Coach and founder of the Child-Centered Divorce Network which provides advice, programs, coaching and other valuable resources for parents who are facing, moving through or transitioning after a divorce.

It is so important to recognize the impact husbands and fathers have on their wives and on their children. There's a lot of pressure on Dads, considering the weight of their responsibilities in the family. Dads deserve a community to support them, while they are doing their best to keep it all together, and be a great role model to their children.Kevin Williams started The Legendary Dads Podcast to build a supporting community for Dads , helping them become a ‘high performance' Dad who's leading his family to a successful and fulfilling life. In this episode, Kevin talks about the importance of leaving a legacy, and how you can be a Legendary Dad in your own home. Moms will also hear some advice from Kevin on how they can support their husbands and together be a Legendary Parents.“In terms of being a Legendary Dad, my ambition is to leave such a legacy that my kids, my great grandkids and their children, will talk about this purpose and this process that I initiated with my family, so that I would be a legend in the family tree…I do want my family to have everything they need to live an amazing life and to deal with whatever is going to come in the future years.” - Kevin Williams About the Guest:Married for 22 years, and Dad to 4 young kids, Kevin is focused on helping Dads be the best they can be for their family. He believes that everything rises and falls on leadership - and it starts on the inside.Behind this passion for working with Dads, is a heart that cries for the children and wives who are missing out, struggling, or worse, because the men in their lives are not sure that they have what it takes.He knows from hard-won experience that all Dads have what it takes to provide fully and deeply what their family needs from them. “When things are looking rough,” he says, “we have to hold on to the truth that all of us are capable of far more than we realize. We can see this truth when we stand firm, and don't let the storms of life chase us away from those are counting on us.”Kevin encourages those who engage with him to take courage, and embrace the challenge of digging deep within to see their true heart; because everything we do - or don't do - in life stems from who we are.Website: https://kevinwillspeak.com/Please link your Social Media Platforms here.:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/KevinwillspeakTwitter: https://www.twitter.com/kevinwillspeakInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kevinwillspeakConnect with Blissful Parenting:Free Workshop ► https://www.BlissfulParentingWorkshop.com Website ► http://www.TheBlissfulParent.com/ Blog ► http://www.TheBlissfulParent.com/blog Podcast ► http://www.TheBlissfulParent.com/podcast/ Contact ►http://www.BlissfulParenting.com/contact Follow Us On Social Media:Youtube ►...

Every parent wants a deep connection with their children while guiding them through life. But sometimes we felt like we can't get that connection, it seems like kids aren't listening. We try to bottle up everything, then suddenly we explode, we yell, we feel guilty. If we're not yelling, how can we get our kids to listen? This episode is worth listening to. Yelling is one of the most common dilemmas of parents in raising children. What are the consequences of yelling? What are we actually reinforcing when we raise our voice to our kids? Is it possible to raise a child without raising your voice? What is really happening when parents use positive and negative reinforcement? Michelle and our guest, Rachel Duffy will dive into these questions, and will help you break the cycle of the traditional model of parenting. “When we yell when our children are in a meltdown, our nervous system is in what is called a ‘Dysregulated State'.. Our nervous system flipped the switch to say something dangerous is happening right now. And the only behaviors available in that state are fight, flight, freeze fun. So when we explode on our kids, or when our kids explode, that means we are in a fight state. It's a dysregulated state. To get out of it, yelling is not going to get you out of it". - Rachel DuffyAbout the Guest:Rachel helps fix every relationship in your family. She works with parents to help them raise kids without bribing, constantly rewarding or yelling, threatening or ending the day feeling guilty so you can finally build deep connection, harmony and find ease in your family life.She is both a Trauma Informed Coach and a Certified Conscious Parenting Coach, with a JD in Family Law & Mediation. With over 2 decades of combined experience as a Family Lawyer and Parenting Coach, Rachel has spent her entire adult life in the trenches with families.Rachel uses a proprietary combination of practical and tactical tools alongside deeper trauma informed healing modalities, spiritual growth and a good dose of wisdom. Unlike traditional coaching models that rely on quick fixes to put out fires, Rachel helps you create life lasting change by showing you how to identify and address the root causes of draining relationships in your family.Free mini guide to raising kids without raising your voice: https://pages.rachelduffyhere.com/miniJoin my private FB community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/powerfullygroundedparentsConnect with Blissful Parenting:Free Workshop ► https://www.BlissfulParentingWorkshop.com Website ► http://www.TheBlissfulParent.com/ Blog ► http://www.TheBlissfulParent.com/blog Podcast ► http://www.TheBlissfulParent.com/podcast/ Contact ►http://www.BlissfulParenting.com/contact Follow Us On Social Media:Youtube ► https://www.youtube.com/theblissfulparent Facebook ►...

Death and loss is inevitable. As soon as our kids are old enough to love, to have an attachment to something or someone, they will grieve and mourn for those losses. When is the best time to talk about grief and loss to our kids? Well, the best time to prepare for grief is NOT when the tsunami of heartache is hitting hard. Today, we're gonna dive into what our kids need to know about grief and loss. This is something our guest, Shirley Thiessen, a grief coach and educator, wishes herself to know as a young mom. This episode will help to protect your kids from the harshness of loss and pain. Let us also learn how each of us can be a “Hope Hero” in this world full of grief.“Grief is really hard work, it is exhausting. If we don't absorb the loss, if we don't reconcile it, it's gonna bubble up years later in very unhealthy ways. So it's a beautiful thing to be able to teach our children that we're going to face our pain, we're going to look for ways to learn from it, and to get a meaning or purpose from that pain…I think pain can teach us how to look out for others who are hurting, and come alongside them.” - Shirley ThiessenAbout our Guest:Shirley Thiessen is co-founder of a grief ministry, CornerBend Ministries in Calgary, Alberta, Canada. Through writing and speaking, Shirley serves others as a grief coach and educator. Most people don't know what is helpful to say or do to support their grieving friends.

Is it possible for us to raise healthy kids, but we haven't dealt with our own trauma yet? Does this make us bad? No. We all have wounds, and we're all doing our best to regulate ourselves so we could not impart the trauma to our children. But the more we heal, the more reliable, the more consistent and the more available we become to our children.Joining Michelle today is the founder of PRISMA, Greg Wieting.

He dives into how we can heal our own anxiety, depression, and chronic pain rooted in trauma, so we can be a better model to our children. Greg also talks about why chemical imbalance doesn't cause anxiety and depression. “I think the essence of healing is not problem solving or fixing, but it's presence. There's nothing broken, bad or wrong. This is something hurt that needs loving intention. The more we develop that capacity to support ourselves with that loving attention, and the wounded parts of ourselves, then the more we can show up to our kids, to our loved ones and to our family.” - Greg WietingAbout our Guest:He is the founder of PRISMA – a framework overlaying trauma, neuroscience, and energy medicine with somatic and mindfulness-based practices.

As parents, we want all the best for our children, we want to prepare them for a successful future. So saving and investing even in their very young age is very important.

Well, it's time to set our financial goals, and prepare our kids for their brighter future!“The sooner we get started with money, and the more often that we top it up or add more money in, the better. We get the benefit of compounding. Our money earns interest and continues to grow. And the interest that we earn gets reinvested.

We have seen a huge percentage of college dropouts. These have caused them anxiety, feeling like they weren't able to live up to their full potential and their zone of genius. How can we help our kids prepare for their success in getting into high school and beyond into college? Listen as Lynn Teatro dives into how we can help our kids figure out their zone of genius and live to their full potential. She identified the keys to college success and how parents can set a good example to their kids when it comes to education and success. Lynn has the mission to help dropouts and other struggling students find their zone of genius, and help them boost their confidence.“30% of students did drop out in their first year. That is a huge loss, it's a loss of money, it's a loss of brilliance, not not only for the students, but for the future of our planet. We need every person to find their zone of genius and work that so they can be fulfilled and that we heal this planet of all the strife that it's going through. We need people who are educated and as knowledgeable as possible.” - Lynn TeatroAbout our Guest:Lynn Teatro was raised to be a farmer's wife and a mother. Rural Ontario, north of Hwy #7 expectation. She was married 2 weeks out of high school. Lynn wasn't able to graduate because she failed physics and was getting married, so it really didn't matter. Or so she believed back then.12 years later she was a single parent of two kids, back in class with the teens and completing her Grade 13 (Yes, she's that old).This time she got to hang out with the cool kids. Her nickname was the Seagrams Special.Lynn applied to Trent University as a high school graduate and completed her 3- year undergrad in Psychology in 2 years. Lynn's academic advisor told her that she couldn't do that. It was against regulations or something.Too late, Professor Earnest, She had already finished the work for her last credit.Lynn had a varied career as a front line social service worker. She worked in shelters for abused women and their children, with seniors, with sex offenders in prison, helping the homeless…She had a two year stint pissing off landlords and pulling miracles out of her ass. Her daughter, Megan's words, not the actual job description. But it's close.Now as a quasi-retiree, she has made it her mission to help dropouts and other struggling students find their zone of genius. She helps them boost their confidence with workshops, 1:1 counselling, and group coaching. She is also building a professional roster of like-minded people to help her help struggling students fly the nest and on to success. It's a mighty task and Lynn has learned to ask for help the hard way. She is proud of her rural roots. Lynn knows for sure that you can take a girl out of the country, but you can't take the country out of the girl. And she also knows that sometimes our personal trail takes us where we weren't expected to go. She challenges all of us to enter that huge unknown world of possibility. So take her advice no matter who you are and where you are at in life.

Do you have fears that your child is addicted to drugs, alcohol, or even social media? The fact is, in today's society, there are so many social obstacles for kids to face than many of us had to when we were younger. Join Michelle and her guest, Addictions Therapist Candace Plattor, as they delve into the world of addiction, pressure that results from unrealistic social expectations on how to look and behave, and the physical and psychological effects that any addiction can have on a child. “If you do sense that there was a problem, if you think there's a problem, then there probably is. Please trust yourself and don't give up. Don't think that it's so overwhelming that you can't handle it.” – Candace Plattor   Candace Plattor is an Addictions Therapist in private practice, where she specializes in working with the family and other loved ones of people who are struggling with addiction, in her unique and signature Family Addiction Counselling and Therapy Program. As a former opioid addict with almost 35 years clean and sober, Candace has learned that overcoming addiction is a family condition: everyone in the family is affected by addiction and everyone needs to heal. For more than three decades, she has been helping both addicts and their loved ones understand their dysfunctional behaviours and make healthier life choices. The results Candace achieves have been astounding: addicts stop using and families regain their lives from the ravages of addiction. Not only has her success led to a waiting list of clients but she is a sought after leader in the field of addictions. As the developer of the LoveWithBoundaries Family Addiction Counselling and Therapy method, Candace now works with her team of top counsellors and coaches, helping both the families and their addicts break the devastating cycle of addiction for good.  https://lovewithboundaries.com/ (https://lovewithboundaries.com/)   Get all the free resources and tools from our guests: https://www.blissfulparenting.com/toolbox (https://www.blissfulparenting.com/toolbox)   Connect with Blissful Parenting: Free Workshop ► https://www.blissfulparentingworkshop.com/ (https://www.BlissfulParentingWorkshop.com)  Website ► http://www.theblissfulparent.com/ (http://www.TheBlissfulParent.com/)  Blog ► http://www.theblissfulparent.com/blog (http://www.TheBlissfulParent.com/blog)  Podcast ► http://www.theblissfulparent.com/podcast/ (http://www.TheBlissfulParent.com/podcast/)  Contact ►http://www.blissfulparenting.com/contact (http://www.BlissfulParenting.com/contact)    Follow Us On Social Media: Youtube ► https://www.youtube.com/theblissfulparent (https://www.youtube.com/theblissfulparent)   Facebook ► https://www.facebook.com/theblissfulparent (https://www.facebook.com/theblissfulparent)   Instagram ► https://www.instagram.com/theblissfulparent/ (https://www.instagram.com/theblissfulparent/)   Twitter ►https://twitter.com/blissfulparent (https://twitter.com/blissfulparent)     Thanks for listening!

From her years as a teacher Shaista knows that kids can't learn if they don't feel safe, both physically and emotionally. She noticed what a big difference it made for children to learn "soft skills" like emotional regulation along with academics and from that observation a new career was born. Today Shaista is on the podcast to share tips on supporting children through all kinds of anxiety as well as signs to watch for that your child could benefit from widening their resources and team of caring adults.

There's no doubt that this is a difficult topic but because it is so hard to talk about many parents have no idea how to help their children cope with grief, especially if they are also dealing with their own grief. A lot of the ways grief was handled in our own childhoods amplified trauma instead of healing it. Not talking about our lost loved one or "moving on" can do more harm than good. Whether your child is mourning the loss of a sibling or a goldfish, there are powerful takeaways in today's episode to help them process grief. Michele Benyo is a Certified Grief Recovery Specialist®, a parent coach, and the founder of Good Grief Parenting. After her 6-year-old son died of cancer, her 3-year-old daughter said, “Mommy, half of me is gone.” This heartbreaking statement focused Michele's career as an early childhood parenting specialist on the impact of grief on young children, particularly after child loss. Michele equips parents and other caring adults to recognize young children's grief and to provide the support children need to cope well with any loss. The desire of Michele's heart is to see families live forward after loss toward a future bright with possibilities and even joy.

Today on the podcast she is sharing tips for how to begin bringing mindfulness and other techniques for emotional-regulation into your child's life.
