Episode 41: A client asked me a question this week...and it was brilliant. She asked, "how do I know if I'm on the right track?". From a mindset perspective...there is no "right" track, you're exactly where you're supposed to be and all of it is perfect. But from a business perspective -- that answer doesn't cut it. Her fear was essentially that she would get LOST inside of believing it was working and in possibility but not be realistic about her progress. Let's NOT get lost in belief. The way NOT to get lost though -- is what we dig into in this episode.
Improvisor and podcast host Lyndsay Shipley planned on sharing a story about getting in a fight with her mother, but... the show somehow ended up with Tina sharing a story about her rehab cult and Jeremy's frightening evening in Vincennes, IN. And! Tina wants your e-mail address, Jeremy makes peace with his neighbor, do a large collection of nuts denote you as wealthy and the debut of the new single from Let's Not!
For a show based on [Blessing] up this is about as epic as our [Blessing] is going to be. Tina and Jeremy are in the middle of discussing McDonalds' dipping sauces when Kendra Willoughby shows up to discuss her arrest at age 16 and pretty soon a shocking revelation takes the show to new levels of [blessing]. They recover and Kendra tells us all about the Illinois Fairgrounds and her biker parents. Plus!! Tina goes to a wedding, information on the Flyover Comedy Festival, e-mails from Dayton and someone speaking Spanish, a return bargain corner winner and Eddie Vedder buys alcohol for minors and "Over It" by Jeremy's band Let's Not (out of necessity). If you though this show was a [bless] before, just wait!!
How did you feel when you found the Hand in Hand Parenting approach? Most of us feel a sense of relief when we try one of the tools and have a positive outcome. We read the blog posts, listen to the podcast. Try a few more tools. We see changes. That's exciting! Things feel pretty good. You can't wait to tell the people you love most that you have found a breakthrough in your parenting. Except, when you try, they don't want to know. Your partner has no time for listening to a child cry. Your friends don't understand why you'd want to devote time to Special Time. Your parents have no idea why you want to understand what's behind your children's whining, when you could issue a timeout and send them to their room. These are generalizations, of course, but very often we can feel removed when we are parenting differently. And that's when parenting can feel pretty lonely. On this week's episode, Abigail and Elle discuss those times and the practical tools you can use to overcome parenting loneliness: How to make space for your feelings and take the heat off your relationships Why accepting how we all come to parenting with our own stories can help us gain a better understanding of why others may be resistant How you can use Hand in Hand's parenting tools in new ways to involve others (without them even knowing!) Why noticing what is going well helps you come to relationships with a sense of warmth When you use these tools, you can feel less lonely in your parenting.

In the twenty-second episode of the Strong Style Story podcast is somewhat of an empty house compared to usual but Geoffrey Wessel and Lawrence O'Brien hold down the fort while the other co-hosts are either busy with life (like Chris, JB and Steve in this particular bit) and attempt to make sense of New Japan Pro Wrestling as per usual, talking up the following: * Anniversary Shows * NJ Cup - FUCK, THREE FAVORITES ARE OUT IN TWO NIGHTS, NOW WHAT?! * Volador v. Yoshitatsu was a disaster and we still hate Yoshitatsu so much! * Let's NOT bury Kojima's English Tweets! ...Because BREAD CLUB is great! * Let's talk a T-Shirt, guys! ...Because the G1 Special is coming and these tickets are sooooo not buying themselves. >_> As always, please feel free to leave us some feedback by checking us out at our blog at http://strongstylestory.tumblr.com/, by going over to our Twitter: @StrongStylStory or even shooting us an e-mail at strongstylestory@gmail.com along with checking us out on iTunes (to which we definitely encourage leaving a review, giving us stars, we actually want to know how we're doing) or you can read our usual banter at @StrongStylStory over on Twitter.
