Hearing the phrase "secure attachment" makes us think of some academic thesis.  BORING!  Well,  I want to help flip that idea in our minds to "CRUCIAL".  Yes,  having our kids see us as stable, reliable and empathetic beings in their lives is ESSENTIAL.  In this podcast episode I talk to Eli Harwood, a therapist and "attachment nerd", as she calls herself on social media.  We talk about how in her book, Raising Securely Attached Kids, you can learn to build a stable and trusting environment for our kids so they will thrive and grow.  In her examples of how secure parents approach problems you can feel relief in knowing there are successful strategies in creating confident kids who know we'll always have their backs.Eli's new book:Raising Securely Attached Kids: Using Connection-Focused Parenting to Create Confidence, Empathy and ResilienceEli's Good Morning American appearance 8/31/24:How to Manage Anxiety and Stress at the Beginning of the School YearEmail me at mary@parentingdecoded.com or go to my website at www.parentingdecoded.com.

Lisa is a TBRI® Practitioner, co-founder of Adoption Wise, and co-author of The Connected Parent with Karyn Purvis.

On this episode of the Character Outs podcast, I chat with my friend Gina. She is a mother of two, and a women's health advocate and coach. She is also author of the blog: The Connected Parent-a blog dedicated to providing resources and tips for healing in mind, body and spirit while parenting. Gina comes from a large Italian family so as you can imagine, choosing to go no contact with her narcissistic mother 13 years ago has had its fallout among the family. Gina discusses how she navigates cutting off toxic family members and how to cope with then being cut off by family members who choose to side with the toxic, instead of the cycle breaker. Gina also shares invaluable advice on parenting and raising children as we ourselves are healing our own wounds from childhood. You will feel like you are chatting with your bestie and be reminded that this no contact journey is emotional, but so worth it. Protecting our peace and the peace of our children is paramount.

On today's episode, Melissa gives you some things to consider when it comes to parenting. She also talks specifically to foster parents, adoptive parents, relative caregivers, social workers, and churches as she believes that our kids are “our” kids and we all play a role in their healthy development.  Topics Melissa mentions: *Be willing to do your own healing and look at the wounds you have that may affect the way you are in relationship today. *Educate yourself on healthy parenting strategies that are backed by research. Melissa recommends reading The Connected Parent or the Connected Child to learn more about TBRI, The Whole Brained Child, and the Parenting after Trauma podcast. *For social workers, make sure you are caring for your own mental health as you have a hard job and it is almost impossible to not be affected by the work. Also, be mindful of how much power you actually have and how that can make the families you work with feel. *For churches, learn more about mental health, abuse, domestic violence, and trauma. You also hold a lot of power and can cause more harm than good when you are not educated on these topics. If you don't know much about these topics, refer those coming to you for help out to professionals who do.  *Mending Families offers trainings on trauma, self-worth and parenting so feel free to reach out for more information. **Find FULL SHOW NOTES at my website, https://www.mendingfamilieswa.com/mending-families-podcast Where to find Mending Families: Instagram - @mendingfamilieswa TikTok - @mendingfamilieswa Facebook - @mendingfamilieswa YouTube - www.youtube.com/@mendingfamilies1594 https://www.mendingfamilieswa.com --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/melissa-pemberton/support

As Dr. Karyn Purvis famously said, "You cannot lead a child to a place of healing if you do not know the way yourself." Making sense of our histories is essential to helping our children heal.

Welcome to the SYNC Your Life podcast episode #87! On this podcast, we will be diving into all things women's hormones to help you learn how to live in alignment with your female physiology. Too many women are living with their check engine lights flashing. You know you feel "off" but no matter what you do, you can't seem to have the energy, or lose the weight, or feel your best. This podcast exists to shed light on the important topic of healthy hormones and cycle syncing, to help you gain maximum energy in your life.  In today's episode, I'm interviewing Jenni Lord, founder and CEO of Chosen. Jenni first encountered the child welfare system in 1995 when her foster brother entered their family as a toddler. His story and five-year adoptive journey had a profound impact, and she has had a desire for systemic transformation since. After several years in the business sector, the road for professional advocacy opened up in 2008 when she had an idea of how to help children who needed loving and safe families. Subsequently, she founded Chosen. Jenni has a background in Communications, Psychology, and Counseling. She has extended her professional training with a Nonprofit Management Certification, along with certifications in Leadership and Fundraising. Part of her role is advocating for systemic policy reform, and she is active in both federal and state affairs. Chosen‘s mission has evolved with her at the helm to fulfill a unique need in the childcare welfare continuum. Jenni recognized that there is a real deficiency in long-term support of families impacted by the grief and loss associated with foster care and adoption. She is extremely passionate about children healing from the trauma of abuse, neglect, and abandonment, which is the agency's primary focus today. Equally, she is dedicated to strengthening families as agents of healing for their children. In 2017, Jenni led the organization through self-implementation of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) from Traction to break through to a next level for Chosen. She is intentional about leading a culture of empowerment and accountability to most effectively serve the vulnerable. She has regularly been summoned to teach others about EOS's impact on growth and organizational change. Jenni has served in multiple board and leadership roles locally and nationally, including most recently as Texas Chair of the national Family Focused Treatment Association (FFTA). She is a founding member of the Family Coalition's church movement for More than Enough in New Braunfels, TX, and is intimately involved in Unicity's Decade of Family in San Antonio.

Join us for the third episode “The Journey to Becoming a more Conscious and Connected Parent” in our Living on Purpose series! In today's episode, I talk with Peta-Gay Henry, Certified Etiquette and Conscious Parenting Coach and owner of LeCharme. LeCharme serves their clients through a two-pronged strategic approach: LeCharme Social Emotional Learning and Etiquette and LeCharme Conscious Parenting Circle. Peta-Gay's purpose is to be the best Mom to her two beautiful daughters and to help individuals positively transform their life through her coaching and training. As a Parenting Coach, Peta-Gay helps her clients to become conscious and connected, and to ultimately find peace in parenting. In today's episode, Peta-Gay shares her passion for helping children and young adults gain social and emotional skills to navigate life, through her company's Social Emotional Learning and Etiquette program. And her related and equally important passion of helping parents build positive relationships with their children and parent intentionally and consciously. Three powerful take-away that Peta-Gay shares are: 1. It is crucial that parents create safe spaces for children to be their authentic self. Creating safe spaces requires that we move from words to actions, actions that foster safety in our children. 2. Conscious parenting is intentional parenting. It recognizes the individuality of each child, their strength and opportunities. Importantly, it is more about the parent consciously managing their own triggers, traumas, reactions, and interactions with their child. 3. The journey to becoming a more connected and more conscious parent starts with YOU, the parent. Listen to this episode to learn about the 5 pillars of Social Emotional Learning and other life changing strategies and tips.

In this episode we talk about how to connect with your kid(s) in a unique way. A strategy that can help you feel calmer, more present, feel more empathy and at the same time can help your kids develop more confidence and emotional security. How can you do all that? Well that's what our host, Dr. Rishma Walji was on the search for. A way to feel connected, to help manage stress, to help bond with her kids in a deeper and more intentional way. Something that would not just have a momentary effect, but a lasting one on her and her kids.  Get your own copy of The Connected Parent Journalhttps://livingxo.com/connectedparentjournalFind out more at XO Living: livingxo.comTo stay up to date, sign up for our newsletter: livingxo.com/subscribeGuest: Jenn @lobeloveco 

Today we share an Ah-Ha moment, something that hit us like a brick and shifted the way we think about parenting our children and loving on the children in our lives. It all has to do with this topic we have been focusing on - fear and how it affects our ability to have a Home That Heals. This Ah-Ha moment encouraged us and we know it will encourage you too!

Together they discuss philanthropy in education, the work of the MacArthur Foundation, and the challenges of making large changes in institutions.“And particularly when we look at a society where I think most of us, anyway, those of us on the left, broadly global left, would say, ‘We're not where we ought to be, right, from an equity perspective, from all sorts of dimensions we want to improve. And certainly the quality of K-12 education in the United States, that's not something we're that good at overall. Therefore, we need to disrupt it.

We talk about what it was like for Kelli to enter motherhood for the first time and what it's been like since. When first looking into foster care her coordinator had said if it's meant for you it will work out. She had always wanted kids so she found a way to make that possible even though she was single and hadn't had kids of her own yet. Even though it took a bit longer to finally be placed with a child, in less than 3 months she worked hard and made it possible to become eligible to be a foster mom. Kelli needed to prepare for any age and all the potential trauma that that comes with fostering.  Like many new moms, she still faced the fears of ‘can I actually do this?" and  "I don't know what I'm doing!” and she also took part in getting to share the news with her family. She realized that there was a lot of learning and growing in her journey and that she was now responsible for things like doctors appointments and setting rules, but overall she said she has never felt more purposeful and more fulfilled than when she is a foster mom. She soon realized she needed to put everything she had into someone else day and night and later learned how to find ways to still find time for herself. She suggests that other new foster moms learn to say yes to people that offer to help you and find things that the kids can do that are fun for them so you can have some time for yourself. The transition of sending them back to their family is what you hope for but its still hard and very bitter sweet. Her family has been supportive and her nieces and nephews also love the idea but they also feel the separation when the kids transition back to their family. Some might say it's hard to see them go but Kelli reassures us that It's hard to let them go but these kids need this love and they need people to hold that space for them, the whole point is to care too much. If you're looking into being a foster parent yourself reach out to other foster parents in the area and get to know the steps that are needed specifically for you. If you know a foster mom be sure to take a moment to appreciate them, be empathetic, and support them where you can. After all, we are all mothers coming together on this journey of Entering Motherhood.    Recommended Books  The  Connected Parent by Lisa Qualls and Karyn Purvis PhD The Connected Child by Kryn Purvis PhD The Explosive Child by Ross W.

We sit down and discuss our thoughts and review of The Connected Parent by Doctor Karyn Purvis and Lisa Qualls.

Parenting under the best of circumstances can be difficult. And raising children who have come to your home from “hard places,” who have their own set of unique needs, brings even more challenges. You may have discovered that the techniques that worked with your birth children are not working with your adopted or foster child. On July 7, the last written work of renowned child-development expert Dr. Karyn Purvis releases into the world. The Connected Parent: Real-Life Strategies for Building Trust and Attachment was co-authored by our own Lisa Qualls. This week she shares how the book came to be and what you can expect.

In this episode hear from Melissa and Lisa from the Adoption Connection. The Adoption Connection provides post adoption resources and friends who understand. You will gain confidence in your parenting and hope for your family's future.They offer hope, share wisdom, and mentor you foster and adoptive parents.In this episode there are three major take aways:1. Go Big or Go Home, but know when to go homeFoster and adoptive families typically go big or go home by accepting many, many children into their homes. It is okay to say no, or set boundaries for your family. If you have a current foster or adopted child, or if you have had one in your home in the past, you have ALREADY followed your calling. It's okay to focus on the family you have now, whatever that may look like. 2. Peer to Peer support works!It's difficult for or may not feel safe for parents to reach out to the agency for support when they fought so hard to get a child placed in their home. Real moms have a greater capacity for empathy and real life experiences that inform practical advice.3. Parents have to be helped first. All the therapeutic, trauma-informed tools in the world aren't helpful, if the parent's needs aren't met. Parents need empathy and people to advocate for them before they are given or can be open to tools and teachings.Lisa and her husband Russ are parents of twelve by birth and adoption (ages 11-31), and more through foster care. As a Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI®) Practitioner, she walks alongside families with kids from “hard places.” Lisa also co-wrote the book The Connected Parent with Dr. Karyn Purvis being released this July. This will be Dr. Karyn Purvis' last published works.Visit Lisa's WebsitePre-order The Connected ParentMelissa and her husband Patrick are parents to six by both birth and adoption (ages 11-20).

In this episode, Jess chats with Michelle Carlson from Peace and Parenting all about trading in bribes, threats, and consequences and focusing on connection versus control in the parent-child relationship.
