In honor of Mother's Day, we are revisiting one of our most popular episodes "How to Have a Happy Mother's Day" because who couldn't use a littler reminder that the day is actually supposed to feel good for YOU ❤️A few years ago, I got a call around 3:00 on Mother's Day. A dear friend asked me if I would be able to meet her for a drink before dinner. Hell yes. We had both had less than ideal days that were meant to celebrate us but instead were filled with cranky kids and unmet expectations. We needed to commiserate.And at the risk of sounding like a terrible mother I'm going to be honest – our cocktail hour was the best part of my day. We laughed, we cried and we went back to our families restored and reconnected.It reminded me of what my dear friend and mentor Carrie Contey has always said about Mother's Day – ask for what you want.For some women, spending Mother's day with their children or their own mother or mother-in-law is perfect. For others, not so much. It can be a vulnerable day, especially if you have lost your mother, have a tricky relationship with her, or if motherhood is not living up to your expectations at the moment.So now is the time to ask for what you want from this day. Does being with your children and having them make you breakfast in bed sound ideal? Do it. Do you want to binge Netflix shows you never get to watch because you're asleep in your kid's bed at 8pm? See if your partner (or babysitter) can bring your kids to Kung Fu Panda 4 while you order a pizza with your favorite toppings. Do you want to journal and cry about missing your mom? Just as valid.I want a mix – a little time with my family and a little time to myself. So you'll probably find me eating home made pancakes in the morning followed by a matinee viewing of a movie SOLO and maybe even a cocktail with a friend afterward. And I'm going to ask for this now – so my partner knows what is going to fill my cup on a day meant to celebrate me. No surprises, no disappointments.What do you want your Mother's Day to look like? Despite what Hallmark tells us, there's no wrong way to do it. As long as you do it your way, that's good enough.

Her work offers a new perspective on human development, parenting, family life and being a healthy, happy, whole human being. Learn more at www.carriecontey.com. Description Parenting isn’t easy. Just when we think we’ve got one stage mastered, our child develops and grows to a new stage with a new set of challenges for us to rise to and adapt with. We often hear parents of grown children say, “Enjoy it. It goes so fast.” They say this wistfully, almost mournfully, like they wish they could go back and do it all again in slow motion. We can’t slow time, but we can parent with intention. Carrie shows us how.

Support the podcast! Often times parenting can feel like it is a struggle. As a parent you have a clear idea of what needs to be done over the course of day. There are meals to be served, errands that need to ran, getting the kids to school, and all of the other tasks that fill daily life. Kids on the other hand don't have the same sense of priority or understanding of what needs to be done. Because of this it can feel like a struggle to get through the day. This week I have a conversation with parenting specialist Carrie Contey about how parents can move through the day getting done what they need to get done while still helping the kids to grow in a happy and healthy way.

Okay, so imagine this situation. It's 5am and your youngest has been awake for God knows how long, crying and craving your attention. You go to him, half-awake, half-asleep, as he whimpers from an all nighter of exhaustion and teething pains. All the while, your eldest is singing the “Let it Go” song at the top of her lungs and you're just praying you don't go in to work today with toilet paper stuck to your shoe… again. Ahhh, being a parent. It's messy, it's beautiful, it's all the things. And it can be downright exhausting. (can I get an AMEN?) Have no fear, help is near! My guest, Dr. Carrie Contey, is going to simplify what it means to be a “conscious parent” in the 21st century. In this episode, you will learn: What does “conscious parenting” even mean? She says, “it's a way of BEING, not doing.” Why she believes we need to get rid of the word “parenting” all together - instead consider that we are in relationship with these people, helping them understand the world around us. They teach us, too. It's a total paradigm shift. What to do when you (as a parent), have a meltdown or are negatively triggered. What “micro, medium or large” means when it comes to self-care - it's simple to nourish yourself Why everything boils down to these three simple things: slow down, connect (with yourself & others), enjoy (finding more pleasure) Let's #DoTheThing. Show notes available with all LINKS mentioned here: https://thesimplifiers.com/podcast/034-carrie-contey/
Carrie Contey teaches us how parenting can negatively impact the adult relationships of the parents and gives us a number of powerful, research-supported strategies that will empower parents in their adult relationships, giving them the support they need to parent successfully. “Think of it as emotional meals and emotional snacks. If you’re going to be really nourished, you need both.” – Carrie Contey. Learn more about this episode of Ready Set Love at www.readysetlove.com/08

Description Carrie Contey has been our parenting coach for many, many years and along the way her insights and wisdom have helped us navigate our parenthood, partnership and personhood with clarity and intention. Today's conversation focused on connection rituals—the habits we create to consistently sync with the people we share our lives with. Many of us have relationships with people we see every day, maybe all day, every day. And what Carrie and I discussed today was how to add more juice to those relationships and why there is so much value in having connection rituals. Key Takeaways We all crave a deep sense of belonging and long to be seen and felt by the people in our lives. Give away only 49%; save 51% for your own self-care because you can only give your best to the world when you've filled yourself up first. Creating connection rituals gives us the opportunity to settle back into our relationships and to energetically return to home.
