Podcast appearances and mentions of kim muench

Send us an email @ info@parentcoachesunleashed.com Carrie Wiesenfeld and Jessica Anger welcome back Kim Muench, certified parent coach and founder of Real Life Parent Guide, to talk about her new book, Lost in Place: How to Support, Motivate, and Launch an Adult Child. The conversation focuses on what changes when kids become adults, especially when they are still living at home, struggling with independence, or dealing with mental health concerns.Kim Muench is a certified parent coach who specializes in helping parents of emerging and adult children navigate challenges involving independence, mental health, substance use, motivation, and the transition into adulthood. She is the founder of Real Life Parent Guide and the author of Lost in Place: How to Support, Motivate, and Launch an Adult Child.In this episode, Kim shares a practical, compassionate framework for parents who want to support their adult children without taking responsibility for their lives. The discussion covers boundaries, family dynamics, mental health, and how to respond when adult children push back.Key topicsKim explains why she prefers the term “lost in place” over “failure to launch,” framing the issue as a developmental delay rather than a final judgment.She defines “emerging adulthood” as the post-high-school phase before financial and physical independence, noting that it can now extend into the early 30s.The hosts and Kim discuss how adult children may boomerang home after living independently, creating emotional and financial strain for parents.Kim emphasizes that parents cannot control an adult child's behavior, only their own boundaries and responses.She introduces her four Cs framework for parents: clarity, calm, confidence, and consistency.In a financial rescue scenario, Kim advises parents to stop panicking, identify the pattern, and return responsibility to the adult child by asking, “What do you see are your options?”Kim discusses how fear of self-harm, guilt, and parents' inability to tolerate their own anxiety often keep them stuck in enabling patterns.For adult children struggling with anxiety or depression, Kim recommends assessing the actual level of functioning, the quality of the relationship, and whether professional support is in place.She suggests small relational shifts like pausing before replying to late-night text floods and building connection through low-pressure shared activities.When a parent sets a boundary and the adult child reacts angrily, Kim says the boundary is still valid and parents should not collapse under guilt or over-explain themselves.She explains that family living agreements can work well, but only if parents stay consistent and do not undermine one another.Kim encourages parents to see anger and other difficult emotions as part of the process, not as proof that they are doing something wrong.Her biggest takeaway: parents need an open mind and a willingness to shift out of old generational habits and into a more relational, less controlling approach.Link to Kim's new book, Lost in Place:How to Support, Motivate, and Launch an Adult Childhttps://a.co/d/02lbnnpU

In this episode of Success is Subjective, Joanna speaks with Kim Muench, a certified conscious parenting coach and the founder of Real Life Parent Guide. Kim shares her journey of becoming a mom at 18, navigating challenges with her oldest son's addiction, and eventually discovering her calling in supporting parents of emerging adults. She highlights the common struggles young adults face today—lack of motivation, gaming, substance use, and mental health concerns—while also addressing how COVID and technology have reshaped their development. Kim emphasizes that parents can't control their child's choices but can control how they show up, what they provide, and how they respond. Her compassionate and practical approach reframes parenting from fear and control to intention and connection, offering hope for families navigating the challenges of emerging adulthood.Kim's Resources: Kim's Book: https://a.co/d/7ke93Kp Website: Real Life Parent GuideInstagram: @KimMuenchParentCoachTikTok: @KimMuenchParentCoachConnect with Joanna Lilley  Therapeutic Consulting AssociationLilley Consulting WebsiteLilley Consulting on Facebook Lilley Consulting on YouTubeEmail joanna@lilleyconsulting.com#TherapeuticConsulting #LilleyConsulting #Successful  #TherapeuticPrograms #Therapy #MentalHealthMatters #Podcast #PodcastCommunity #TheJourney #SuccessIsSubjectivePodcast #TheUnpavedRoad #PFCAudioVideo #EmotionalHealing #TraumaRecovery #AddictionRecovery #RecoveryIsPossible #KimMuenchParentCoach #ConsciousParenting #ParentCoach #ParentSupport

I've always said that parenting is “an 18-year-long game,” fully expecting that parenting would markedly diminish after my kids turned 18. Now that I'm parenting a 19-year-old…it turns out parenting DOES change and it ought to diminish, but it's still a thing!Kim Muench coaches parents of “emerging adults,” a new term needed to describe 18-30-year-olds who aren't quite ready to be real adults, apparently.In this interview, we talk about WHY we need both this term and parenting strategies to continue our conscious, intentional parenting beyond age 18.But this podcast isn't just for parents of emerging adults!If you want to set your teens up for adulthood – and since you're here, I'm assuming you do – it starts at least in high school and most likely long before that.Kim and I dig into the pitfalls of becoming your child or teen's friend, screen use at various ages, life skills, problem-solving, and soooo much more. Believe me, you'll need all of it well before your kiddo hits 18.If you want to prepare yourself for the next phase of parenting, and more importantly, prepare your kids to enter adulthood more smoothly, this interview is for you!Thank you to our sponsor Paleovalley!

Are you having a tough time talking to your older teen or young adult?  If they are living at home with you, how do you deal with setting rules for them?  Do you find yourself constantly biting your tongue, or are you in constant conflict with them?  There comes a point when your kid starts growing up, and you need to realize they're their own person now. It's like, “Holy crickets! They're in charge of their own life, now!”  For parents, this shift to a new kind of relationship with their adult child can be pretty tricky. That's why my guest this week is Parent Coach, Kim Muench. She's the Founder of Real Life Parent Guide.  Kim is a Certified Conscious Parenting Coach with the Jai Institute for Parenting, and specializes in working with parents of emerging adults (ages 18-29). In this conversation we talk about setting healthy boundaries as the relationship with your child shifts under your feet. Kim has some solid ideas about how to open up the lines of communication and reconnect with your child.  Hint: Much of the work starts with us, the parents.     **This is Kim's second time on the podcast.  In our first conversation (Episode 117) we talked about her own challenges as a parent which led her to become a parenting coach.  In 2008, her oldest son called her from across the country to say he was in trouble… he was failing classes, about to lose his job, and his use of alcohol was totally out of control.   

In this episode, we explore the intricate dance of parenting young adults in today's complex world. We're joined by Kim Minch, a parenting coach and founder of The Real Life Parent Guide, who shares her personal journey and professional insights into nurturing healthier relationships between parents and their adolescent children.   The transformative power of self-trust in parenting How to tune out external noise and focus on personal growth The role of social media in connecting with parents and creating communities The challenges of parenting adolescents in the digital age The importance of setting boundaries and improving communication The shift in parenting philosophy from authority to partnership Understanding the reasons why young adults may struggle to launch The impact of financial and mental health issues on young adults returning home The need for resilience and grit in the face of adversity How parents can become the manual for how their grandchildren will be raised The importance of empathy and understanding in bridging generational gaps  

This episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast delves into the idea that raising children isn't just about nurturing them, it's a powerful journey of self-discovery for parents too. Parenting coach Kim Muench emphasizes that by addressing our own emotional baggage and limiting beliefs, we become better equipped to guide our children's growth. Key points include prioritizing self-care (emotional and spiritual), acknowledging the limitations of external control, and allowing children to experience natural consequences. By addressing limiting beliefs and inner anxieties, parents become better equipped to guide their children while fostering a strong foundation for their own emotional well-being. Reflection Questions: How can I prioritize my own emotional and spiritual well-being? How can I separate my anxieties from what truly needs to be addressed in my child's life? Am I creating space for my child's individuality and choices, even if they differ from my expectations?

To talk about that today, Kim Muench, a Real Life Parent Guide.

December 20, 2022 ~ Kim Muench, Certified Parenting Coach & Founder of the Real Life Parent Guide tells Chris & Sean some Gen Z's are refusing to teach their kids about Santa Claus because they claim it's traumatizing.

If you are a parent… today's episode is for you.  If you have feelings of guilt and shame about the kind of parent you've been you are definitely not alone.  I don't know a single parent who doesn't question themselves and wonder if they are doing right by their kids.  Kim Muench is a Parenting Coach who specializes in working with mothers of adolescents ages 10 and up and young adults. Kim is passionate about educating and supporting her clients to raise their children with intention and guidance rather than fear and control. She's a mother of 5 children and was inspired to do the work she's doing today because she herself had a crisis moment with her oldest son that led her to learn how the parent/child relationship really works and slowly made her own well-being a priority.

Our guest today, Kim Muench wrote a book titled "Becoming Me While Raising You-A Mother's Journey to Herself" Which exactly describes my relationship with my 2 teenage daughters at the moment. I have wanted to be the perfect mother for my daughters, I mean, that's how I roll. But, you know...its frustrating when you do so much and, yet the struggles still exist. Kim notes that moms are the emotional barometer for their families. Sometimes it becomes evident that the stress and anxiety moms put into being "perfect" is the very thing that creates the same stress/anxiety in our personal relationships. Our conversation with Kim today speaks into the journey that moms are on and the lessons we learn as we mature as parents and as women. The more I have conversations with our guests, the more I realize the ongoing work I need to do on MYSELF and how THAT (in itself) will transform my relationships with those I love the most. I need to stop being what I think other people want me to be and just BE ME. And, while I thought I knew who that was, I'm realizing more and more that I'm still figuring it out! Today Kim helps us unpack our own limiting beliefs about ourselves so we can live more authentically. A limiting belief I have is that I have to be perfect to be loved. And honey...perfect doesn't exist. In this episode, we discuss: Acknowledging where we fail as parents, and reminding ourselves not to get stuck in the space where we blame ourselves for our children's behaviors and choices. Staying in that space is not productive. Past trauma (big T or little t) can impact our current behavior tremendously and become our limiting beliefs such as "I don't matter" or "I don't have a voice" The definitions of helping vs. enabling. Helping is giving assistance to someone when they can't do it for themselves. Enabling is doing something for someone else that they can/should do for themselves and then a resentment is formed. Our children come through us and not for us, except for the lessons they reflect to us during their journey in an effort to grow us up along the way. The 4 essential questions to uncover limiting beliefs and shift them into beliefs that better serve your relationship to yourself and to those you love the most. What do I believe about myself? Where did that thought/belief come from? Is it true? If it's not true, what is? Kim's book (published in 2021, Becoming Me While Raising You) was written on the six limiting beliefs she took on in her childhood that played out over and over again in her marriage and parenting until she discovered the 4 critical questions and peeled back the layers of truth to reveal new, healthier beliefs that she now practices everyday. We know you have your own limiting beliefs. We want to hear from you...Leave us a review or join our FB Community and let us know one of YOUR limiting beliefs! You can find out more about Kim's mission and services at www.reallifeparentguide.com. She is on Facebook at Real Life Parent Guide, Instagram, TikTok and on LinkedIn as well.

EPISODE 61 - We talk all things parenting with our guest Kim Muench Author of Becoming Me While Raising You – a Mother's Journey to Her SelfKim's mission is to help Moms unlock their inner wisdom so they can be the calm, confident guide their children deserve.In May 2008, I went through the greatest parenting challenge of my life. The eldest of my five children called me from across the country to say he was in trouble…he was failing classes, about to lose his job, and his use of alcohol was totally out of control. At the time he was twenty years old. When I answered his call for help, I didn't waste time wondering how it had happened or ask myself, “Why me?!” I knew the way I had parented him and was parenting, contributed to the life-threatening situation he was in and one that I could no longer deny. During his spiral through the darkness, I worked with my son to help him find long term sobriety by supporting and encouraging him but never doing for him what he could do for himself. It wasn't easy, all the while my energy and focus were on discovering and understanding where things between he and I, actually myself and all of my children, could be different/better/healthier/more connected. I knew any change in our relationship started with me. And, to this day, it continues with me. So I began to educate myself on how the parent/child relationship really works, in tandem, I slowly made my own physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being a priority. That included parenting in a completely different light! Today my kids range from teen to married and my son is more than a decade sober.In my journey to redefine my role as a mom who would guide, instead of trying to control my kid's choices and behavior, one who would work hand-in-hand with them instead of trying to dominate the relationship, I was led to research dozens of parenting, self-discovery, and personal growth books and courses. My quest prompted me to return to college to finish a degree in psychology, and it led me to an internship where my greatest responsibility was supporting and encouraging other parents who had teens in outpatient addiction treatment. In addition, my path has led me to write a soon-to-be-published memoir about my experience as a mother with a child in the throes of addiction called Becoming Me While Raising You – A mother's journey to her self. Ultimately, my journey took me to a certification in parent coaching through the Jai Institute for Parenting because I believe the quality of the relationship between ourselves and our children is the essence of what it will take to create positive change in the world, not only during our lifetime but for future generations as well.  https://reallifeparentguide.com/___Affiliate book Link: Becoming Me While Raising You, A Mother's Journey to Her Self___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Start your podcast today!

Family relationships can be complicated, and relationships with adolescent and adult children can be some of the most complex. Kim Muench is a woman over the age of 50 who is pursuing her life's dream. She has five kids ages 16-33, her eldest son is 11 years sober...it was her walk with him through his addiction to alcohol that prompted her to realize he was not the only person who needed to change. So, while she partnered with her family in her son's recovery, she also began to make her own physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being a priority. Kim made a conscious choice to parent in a different light. We discuss how moms are the emotional barometer in their families and how important it is for us to put in the effort to prioritize our own well-being and tackle our unconscious limiting beliefs. Kim's three-plus decades of raising five children and coaching other parents empower her to lead her clients with compassion and without judgment into healthier, happier, more functional relationships. Renewing your commitment to yourself through parenting can be an enlightening and freeing experience. We talk about 4 great questions you can ask yourself that will help you begin reflecting on yourself and uncovering your unconscious limiting beliefs. It's important to look back to move forward. As parents, we want to remember that connection and relationship are most important to our relationship with our children of all ages.  Click here to listen!

It's a constant around the world that nobody knows what they're getting into when they first become parents. Parenting problems pop up everywhere and it's exhausting at times, trying to maintain a decent relationship with your teen while still being an authority figure. So when our teens are struggling or lashing out or having issues, we tend to assume that they're the problem. Sometimes they are—but sometimes they're not. Parenting coach Kim Muench joins Mighty Parenting podcast host Sandy Fowler to discuss how our own limiting beliefs about ourselves may have influenced how we parent our children, how focusing solely on behavior can create power struggles, and how we can alter our parenting style to parent with our kids instead of over them.
