Power struggles don't end because we find the perfect argument; they end because someone helps the room feel safe again. We unpack a practical, science-backed shift from control to connection that brings cooperation faster and with far less effort. Drawing on HeartMath's research on heart coherence, Bruce Perry's state-dependent brain science, and Ross Greene's collaborative problem solving, we show how a calm presence, a softer voice, and a few validating words can lower defenses and invite real reasoning back online.You'll hear real-life wins that make the science feel doable: a preteen upset about missing class for therapy softens with one clean reflection, and a toddler melting down for a same-day shot calms once feelings are named and a plan is promised for later. Along the way, we cut through common myths about validation, explain why arguing fuels arguing, and offer language you can use tonight. If you've been stuck between being too gentle or too harsh, this middle path—kindness plus firmness—will help you parent smarter, not harder, while building your child's resilience.If this conversation helped, subscribe, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review to help others find sustainable parenting tools. ✨Want more? ✨Black Friday Savings: The Calm Cooperation Toolkit & Emotional Resilience Toolkit (BIG SAVINGS): ✨Schedule a FREE 20 min clarity call with Sustainable Parenting, so we can answer any questions you may have.

In this episode, Kristin and therapist/author Eli Harwood unpack why mother–daughter relationships are uniquely tender, triggering, and complicated. Eli explains how daughters reflect parts of ourselves we haven't healed, fear, envy, expectations, and old wounds we wish we'd outrun. They dive into the generational dynamics that shape us, from mothers who sacrificed everything to mothers who tried to control in the name of “protection.” Eli shares her own childhood story: growing up with a mom battling depression and a dad struggling with alcoholism , and how it shaped her codependency, perfectionism, and “put together” persona today. The conversation is raw and hopeful as they explore how healing ourselves creates the future relationship we want with our daughters. This episode will make you rethink everything you thought you knew about mother–daughter dynamics.This episode may contain paid endorsements and advertisements for products and services.

In this episode, I'm taking you behind the scenes of a very real, very challenging solo-parenting week while my husband was out of town. It was one of those stretches where everything seemed to happen at once:My daughter was dropping things, spilling things, and making messes that required me to intervene again and again.Her emotional reactions were intense and frequent.Bedtime stretched out because she kept coming out of her room—multiple times.And I was navigating it all alone for days.Instead of spiraling into frustration or snapping (which is what the old me would've done), I leaned hard into the mindset shifts I've intentionally practiced. In this episode, I walk you through, the exact thoughts I used in real time to stay grounded when I had hard moment after hard moment. If you've ever wondered how mindset work actually shows up behind the scenes in everyday motherhood, this episode will give you a real-life example of how powerful it truly is.Want to work on your mindset in motherhood?If you know you need a better attitude, more emotional control, or the ability to take your thoughts captive in the moment, join my Renewed Mindset Course releasing this January. This course is designed to help you shift how you think, so you can naturally shift how you show up as a mom.Need deeper support?If your anger feels destructive, damaging, or it's affecting your relationship with your kids—and you fear what the next 5 years might look like if nothing changes—let's talk.Book a free consultation call and we'll chat about working together inside my Calm Christian Mom coaching container alongside a group of supportive moms walking through this journey with you. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Next Steps: 1.

If you're raising a strong-willed kid, this episode could change the trajectory of their entire life. Strong-willed kids get mislabeled as “bad” all the time. They push back. They melt down big. They leave you wondering if you're failing - or if they'll ever fit into the world. But here's the truth: they're not broken. They're brilliant. And how you parent them determines whether that brilliance gets buried in shame or unleashed as their superpower.In this episode, Kristin pulls back the curtain on what it was like to be that so-called “bad kid” herself - and shares the exact 3 messages every strong-willed child needs to hear on repeat. When you start saying these words, everything changes:- Your child will begin to see themselves as worthy, not “bad.”- You'll stop parenting from fear and start parenting from belief.- You'll shift from daily power struggles to raising a child who knows they are loved, gifted, and celebrated exactly as they are.These aren't just words. They're lifelines. And they can change the way your child shows up in the world - and how you show up as their parent.
