These Two Moms

We all have flaws. This episode will serve as a reminder to you that the annoying things your partner does are there for a reason and to treat that trait with the compassion that it needs. Romanticism does not serve us in reality; treat your partner like the person they really are instead of the person you think they are supposed to be. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

There are three parts to a relationship: knowing your needs, effectively communicating them, and meeting your partners needs. It's your job to make sure your needs are met, but part of the point of a relationship is to have a teammate to help you fill your bucket. Communicating the specifics of those needs to your partner effectively can be difficult because your partner cannot read your mind. Curses! But communication is a skill that can be learned, so keep practicing!  The second half of the episode focuses on conflict resolution. No conflict has ever been resolved when both people were focused only on their own perspective. Kill your ego at the start. Pause the defense and practice compassionate listening. Remember, their reality is REAL. As real as yours is to you. If you can understand and accept their perspective, the defense you were so passionate about at the beginning will either not matter anymore, or is now an "and" instead of a defensive "but". --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

In this short and sweet episode we borrow some questions from Tribe of Mentors by Timothy Ferriss for a thoughtful interview that isn't just about favorite colors or how many siblings Brittany has. Do any of her answers surprise you? Brittany also wants to share that she feels it's important for everyone to have a favorite song and a favorite movie. Her favorite song is Cliffs of Dover - Eric Johnson and favorite movie is Monty Python and the Holy Grail. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Now that we're all a little more familiar with the script system, let's talk about developing characteristics from scripts we need more practice with. Best advice? Find someone that lives that script naturally so you can emulate them. Since it's hard to teach something you haven't had to learn yourself, also find someone who has had to learn that characteristic! We also go into how to understand each script a bit better and accommodate their perspectives in our own life. This is hard! It is hard to take ourselves out of our story and see the world from a different point of view, but we promise it is so worth it. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

A new year comes with new goals, and we get bombarded with diet culture propaganda. We have been through a lot with our own body image issues, so here we share a bit of our backgrounds and give some advice for each script! Stay tuned to the end for a crash course on Intuitive Eating! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

As we approach the start of a new year, it's natural to make resolutions to change things about our lives we don't like. But goals may not be the best way. In this episode we talk about changing habits instead of focusing on goal posts, intentionally creatinf a life you like now instead of believing “you'll be happy when …” --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

How do you know if you're in or out alignment? Is it different for each script? Sometimes it's a cute mental breakdown, sometimes it's just feeling overwhelmed. And the work is never done - we constantly need to be checking ourselves and adjusting our dials. Great listen to get ready for the next episode about resolutions! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

We all care about the people in our lives, we all enjoy praise, and all like feeling in control. But the 'why' behind each of those things is pretty different for each script. This episode will help you dive deeper into each script and understand the motivations behind people's actions. We are happy you are here and learning with us! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

We are back!! Were you with family for Thanksgiving? Will you be again for Christmas? Sometimes family gatherings are super fun, but sometimes they are super hard. You might get sucked back into your 16 year old self around familiar family dynamics. You might need practice setting and holding boundaries. Our favorite question shows up: What else can be true? Use your new knowledge of the Scripts to help you understand your family better and get curious about them again. The last 15 minutes are our favorite part of the episode! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Please rate and review the podcast and enjoy your thanksgiving break! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Viewing weaknesses as strengths turned up too high is one of our favorite things! It is so relieving to know that the things we think are failures are actually the BEST parts of ourselves, we just might need to tone it down a bit. Here we talk about a visionary's lack of discipline and a healer's tendency to say yes to everything. A million times thank you to Brandy for being so open and vulnerable with us on air! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

If you feel like impatience is your weakness, listen up! What if impatience wasn't a weakness at all? Impatience is a result of should-ing all over yourself and others.

What's most important for a parent to do during conflict? You may be surprised! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

Do you know how to have a hard conversation that doesn't feel like a confrontation? We go through the strengths of each script and how they show up when they feel safe or not. Accountability is hard - how do you take accountability gracefully without getting too defensive or becoming the victim yourself? We don't know either, but we explore the topic here! --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

So you've listened to the primers on each script, and now have questions about how to powerfully parent each one. Don't you worry - we hit the ground running with this one! Parenting is pretty all encompassing so this is the first installment in a series. Here we cover how to motivate each script, and how to notice if they feel disconnected from you. Care tasks are common to every family's dynamic, so sit back and listen as we discuss how to best conquer this battle. We also say "all kids are this way but especially kids of this type" about 400 times. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app
