In this episode, we dive into a very common issue many ACLers are unknowingly dealing with - junk volume. It's something that is preventing progress. If you've ever felt stuck, having a swollen or painful knee, or just burnt out from doing too much—this one's for you. We explain why piling on exercises, reps, and sets without clear purpose isn't helping (and might be hurting), and share real stories of athletes doing 10-20+ exercises a day and seeing zero progress. You'll learn how to shift to a less-is-more mindset, apply principles like minimum effective dose and the 80/20 rule, and embrace the high/low training model used in elite performance. Backed by research and experience, this episode is your call to simplify, audit, and do your ACL rehab with intention.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

What does it mean to be a compassionate alpha as a parent? It's not about being harsh or domineering, and it's not about being passive or permissive either. It's about finding that steady, sturdy ground between strength and warmth.In this episode, I unpack the term Compassionate Alpha (learned from Dr. Gordon Neufeld) and share why kids need a parent who can lead with both firmness and kindness. You'll hear why being “too soft” spikes a child's anxiety, why being “too hard” erodes trust, and how calm, confident leadership creates the safety kids need in order to just be kids.We'll explore:What a compassionate alpha parent really looks like in actionWhy connection must come before correctionHow sturdy leadership calms a child's nervous systemThe dangers of swinging to either extreme — passive or authoritarianPractical ways to embody calm, kind authority (even when you mess up)When you step into this role, your child can rest. They don't have to take charge. They don't have to fight for your attention or protection. They know you've got them. And that's the soil where trust, maturity, and deep connection grow.Tune in to learn how to lead with confidence and compassion — sturdy and kind, the way your kids need you most.Ready to go deeper with Connect Method Parenting?

Most parenting advice skips straight to tactics: new charts, new scripts, new strategies. And for a while, they might work. But if you've ever thought, “Why did I yell again? Why did I get so frustrated even though I promised I wouldn't?”—you've bumped into the truth: behavior is downstream of being.In this episode of the Connect Method Parenting Podcast, I'll show you why strategies only work as well as the state you bring to them. Change doesn't last because you tried harder—it lasts because you shifted who you're being.We'll dig into the Be → Do → Have sequence, why identity and attachment are the true foundation of change, and how to practice tiny reps that rewire your nervous system for calm, confident, connected parenting.You'll learn:Why focusing on “being” changes everything downstream.How your identity (the story you run when you're not thinking) drives your reactions.What the parenting pyramid reveals about environment, behavior, skills, beliefs, identity, and attachment.The “Notice, Normalize, Next Step” practice to interrupt shame spirals.How to collect micro-evidence that reinforces the parent you're becoming.This isn't about stacking more strategies. It's about shifting your state so the strategies you already know land. When you choose to be first, the doing gets lighter, and the having flows naturally.Join me for the No Yell Workshop, a 2-hour live class where you'll learn the real reason parents yell and walk away with a customized plan to stop.

In this episode, we wrap up a powerful 3-part series diving into what happens inside the operating room during ACL surgery—and how it directly impacts everything that follows in rehab. I share final takeaways after shadowing a respected orthopedic surgeon, offering clinical pearls you won't find in textbooks. From the surprisingly vascular nature of the torn ACL to the nuanced realities of graft fixation and proprioception loss, this episode connects the surgical process with real-world rehab challenges. You'll also hear a raw and honest reflection on why re-injuries are so common in youth athletes—especially females—and what we need to do better. If you've ever wondered what actually happens under the knife, or why your rehab feels the way it does, this one's for you.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

In today's episode we're hearing from Alice. She always knew she wanted a homebirth so when she found out she was pregnant it felt like the obvious choice. She shares how she prepared in the lead up to birth; what she read, how she loved science behind hypnobirthing and how supportive she found affirmations for her mindset. Alice's patience was tested with a few days of latent labour, but after chatting to some helpful midwives she was able to relax into it and once things got going her son ended up being born pretty quickly. This is such a lovely story of first time homebirth and the benefits of being supported by a midwife you know and trust. A short and sweet episode for what ended up being relatively short labour in the end!

Most of us don't realize it, but we slip into getting attention from our kids — measuring our worth by their cooperation, moods, or so-called “good behavior.” When they listen, help out, or show up happy, we feel validated. When they resist, melt down, or push back, we question ourselves. In this episode, Andee unpacks the crucial difference between getting attention and giving it — the kind of steady, present, high-quality connection that doesn't depend on how kids are acting.You'll hear why kids can instantly sense the difference, how approval-seeking often traces back to childhood safety strategies, and why social media's “likes and views” energy mirrors the same neediness we sometimes carry into parenting. Andee shares vivid analogies — from an actor's “Action!” cue to the power of high-speed internet — that reveal what real presence feels like to a child. She also tells a personal story of pausing her own plans to help her daughter process emotions and write an essay, showing what it looks like to choose connection over schedule.Along the way, you'll discover how to expand your capacity to feel any emotion so nothing feels too scary, why one-way attention (think Taylor Swift fans) still matters in parenting, and how to pivot when kids interrupt without slipping into resentment or agenda-driven energy. The message is clear: when you stop needing your child's behavior to validate you, you show up steadier, more compassionate, and more influential in their lives.If this resonates with you, share the episode with a friend, and don't forget to leave a quick review. It helps more parents find the encouragement to trade correction for connection.Join me for the No Yell Workshop, a 2-hour live class where you'll learn the real reason parents yell and walk away with a customized plan to stop.

Today's vibe: totally different—and kind of wild. I pressed a little “Create audio summary” button inside NotebookLM (after loading my CMP book + Pivot material), and it generated a 20-minute conversation distilling Connect Method Parenting using only my sources. I listened and thought: ok, parents ask me for this kind of quick, clear overview all the time…so I'm sharing it with you as a bonus episode.You'll hear:The core pain point from thousands of parent notes: “I hate yelling. It feels like it's the only thing that works.” (Oof. I've been there.)Why connection, not louder consequences—is the lever (think: attachment is the fuel line).The 4 CMP mindset pillars:Gardener > SculptorYou, Not Them (extreme ownership without self-blame)Behavior = Feedback (curiosity over judgment)Compassionate Alpha (strong & kind leadership)The self-regulation tools you can use today:STEAR (spot the split-second thought that drives the blow-up)PEACE (pause, download the thoughts, allow the feelings → mad-to-sad shift)The connection builders: six minutes that matter, 1:1 child-led time (aka “no teaching allowed”).Handling conflict without losing closeness:The Circle of Big Emotions (three exits for frustration)The Seen & Heard “sandwich”: See → (Set/Play/Pivot) → BridgeWhy this is a marathon, not a magic wand—and why small, consistent reps change everything.Why share an AI episode? Because it's a crisp, neutral pass through my own material, and for some of you, hearing it summarized like this will make the lights turn on. If it feels a little “whoa,” same.

In this part 2 of the 3-part podcast episode series, we dive into my OR experience with an orthopedic surgeon to uncover the real-world nuances of ACL surgery. From patellar tendon grafts vs. quad tendons, to the impact of graft harvest sites and overlooked donor site rehab, this conversation reveals the “unseen” elements that can make or break ACL recovery. You'll hear candid insights on graft placement, nerve sensitivity, and the decisions surgeons make that aren't always driven by what's billable—but by what's best for the patient. If you're rehabbing an ACL or working with someone who is, this series is a must.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

Today I'm sharing a live workshops where we dive deep into the very first step of Seen and Heard, the "See" part. And not just seeing the behavior or the chaos or the mess (because let's be honest, our brains love to laser focus on the problem), but actually SEEING our kids. The humans behind the big emotions. What You'll Learn: The Stop, Drop & Roll Technique - Yes, just like fire safety, but for parenting fires! When your kid's brain goes haywire and your nervous system starts screaming "EMERGENCY!", this is your go-to move. STOP: See the other person (not the problem)DROP: Don't react, observe patientlyROLL: Relax, open, listen, learnWhy Your "No" is Actually a Gift - Mind blown yet? When your child's thinking has gone offline and they're in full unreasonable mode, your gentle but firm limit becomes the focal point for all that nameless tension they've been carrying. It's like giving them permission to let it ALL out safely. The Tear Catcher Approach - I start this episode with the most beautiful poem by John Roede. It'sl about what happens when we stop trying to fix and start being present with someone's pain. Questions to Ask Yourself:Does my child need information or help?Does the task match my child's current ability today?Am I feeling drained and making everything about me?Is this behavior genuinely unreasonable, or am I just triggered?Visual Learners: If you want to see the Seen and Heard diagram I reference, head to page 155 in my book Connect Method Parenting (you can get it on Amazon). The Stop, Drop & Roll visual is on page 165. You can grab the Kindle version for like a dollar if you want to follow along!Next Steps: Practice just the "See" part this week. Before you set any limit, before you give any direction, just practice seeing your child as a human having a hard time instead of a problem to be solved. Trust me, this changes everything. xoxoAndeeps- If you could take 30 seconds to leave a review, that would mean the world to me. It's how more parents find this work and start choosing connection over correction.Join me for the No Yell Workshop, a 2-hour live class where you'll learn the real reason parents yell and walk away with a customized plan to stop.

Limits That Feel Like Love — Discipline Without the DramaDiscipline doesn't have to be about power struggles, lectures, or bribes. In fact, when it's done right, it actually feels like love.In this episode, I'm breaking down why setting firm limits is one of the most loving things we can do for our kids—and how to do it without all the drama. We'll talk about:Why “no” can be a gift (yep, even when your kid is melting down)The difference between control and connectionHow to hold firm without getting pulled into the chaosPractical tools (like Stop, Drop, and Roll) you can use the next time things go sidewaysThink of this as a reframe on discipline: not punishment, not permissiveness, but loving guidance that helps our kids feel safe, seen, and supported.So if you're tired of yelling, threats, or the endless negotiating, this one's for you.Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

You'll hear how surgical volume and precision matter, why symptoms compound when procedures stack, and what real-time decisions look like when a surgeon weighs repairability and patient compliance.

What if I told you that the secret to becoming an unshakeable parent isn't getting your kids to behave better, it's learning to live in complete acceptance of however they show up?! Would you believe me???Today, we're diving deep into what might be the most radical parenting mindset shift you'll ever make. We're talking about living in acceptance instead of resistance, and why this might just be the wildest flex you can pull as a parent. What You'll Discover The Manual Revolution: Why those invisible rule books you've written for your kids (without them knowing) are keeping you stuck in emotional chaos—and how to burn them for good. Conscious vs. Unconscious Rules: The game-changing difference between setting healthy boundaries and emotionally blackmailing your children into compliance. The Want vs. Need Framework: How to make requests of your kids without tying your emotional wellbeing to whether they follow through (spoiler: this changes everything). Emotional Independence: Why taking 100% responsibility for your feelings—regardless of your child's behavior—is the ultimate power move. Key Takeaways Your kids don't have to listen to you—you have to earn that right by creating a relationship where they want to listenYou can't control anyone else, and trying to manage your child's behavior to feel better will always backfireLiving in acceptance means staying emotionally regulated no matter what shenanigans your kids are pullingConscious limit-setting comes from a place of service, not from needing your kids to behave so you feel like a good parentThe fastest way to improve your child's behavior is to stop making their behavior about you "There is nothing you have to do and no one has to do anything for you. When we think that someone else's behavior controls our emotions, we're setting ourselves up to not only feel bad, but to feel powerless." Living in acceptance isn't about becoming a pushover parent who lets their kids run wild. It's about becoming so emotionally solid and sturdy that you can set firm, loving limits without your nervous system going haywire when your kids push back. That's the wildest flex of all.Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista
In this episode Bec shares her wild pregnancy and freebirth. As a traditional birth keeper she had plenty of experience supporting women choosing to birth outside the system, so this felt like the obvious choice for her own pregnancy. From the moment she conceived she had no tests, scans or interaction with the maternity system and she talks about how she worked through the range of emotions that came up throughout the process. Bec takes us step by step through her blissful final few weeks of pregnancy, labouring in the woods with her partner and pushing for an intense 6 hours before her son was finally born into the water. She shares how they chose to honour the placenta, how birth has humbled her and how her own experience has influenced the way she supports other mothers through this transition.

Are you willing to allow people not to like you because you're so committed to being yourself? This episode is for all the people-pleasers who are exhausted from trying to be everyone's favorite. Andy gives you permission to let people not like you and shows you why this is the key to actually liking yourself more. What You'll Learn:Why giving people permission to dislike you is liberatingThe real reason you're desperate to be liked (it's about how you think you'll feel)How to stop being "creepy, needy, and graspy" when someone pulls awayWhy some people won't like your "flavor" and why that's normalHow to model authentic confidence for your kids (especially teenagers)Key Takeaways:"They can't like you enough to make up for you not liking yourself.""Having the courage to be disliked is empowering and makes you more confident.""If someone doesn't like you, maybe you're just not their flavor, and that's okay."Perfect For:Parents who want their teenagers to like themExhausted people-pleasers ready to break the cycleAnyone who's changed themselves to fit inParents wanting to model authentic confidenceThe Bottom Line: Being likable is overrated. Liking other people (and yourself) that's where the real magic happens. "Give people permission to not like you. They already have permission anyway, but you giving it feels so much better."Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista
It's 8:30 AM, a jackhammer is going FULL THROTTLE outside my window for the third hour straight, and I'm over here typing about unconditional love. But that obnoxious jackhammer just gave my entire family the perfect real-time lesson in how our thoughts create our reality. One daughter felt annoyed, my husband felt compassion (because he knows someone who got nerve damage from jackhammer work), and others were pretty neutral about the whole thing. Same situation. Totally different emotional experiences. This is unconditional love in action, people. What You'll Learn In This Episode: The Michelle Moment: Years ago, my friend Michelle asked the question that changed everything: "So when you say unconditional love, you mean love WITHOUT conditions, right?" (Thank you, Michelle, for getting clarity on that life-changing concept!) The Cinnamon Roll Effect: You know how my mom's homemade cinnamon rolls would make everyone congregate in the kitchen? That's the kind of magnetic energy we want to put out as parents - unconditional love so strong our kids can practically smell it. Why We Sabotage Our Own Happiness: We actually choose NOT to feel love sometimes. Wild, right? We decide our kids "don't deserve" our love when they're acting up. But plot twist - you're the only one who experiences your emotions. When you withhold love, you're literally punishing yourself. The Gym Analogy That'll Blow Your Mind: My daughter's friend Grace has been crushing it at the gym for a year. People literally stop her to comment on her transformation. Meanwhile, my body reflects "a mom of six who likes chocolate." Both are totally valid! But it shows we all have untapped capacity - including for unconditional love. The Behavioralism Trap: We've been taught that love is a reward and anger is a consequence. But real change happens from the inside out, and the only way to help your child's heart soften is to create an environment where their nervous system feels safe. The Truth Bomb Section: Your child's behavior cannot make you stay frustrated (even though it feels like it can)Love is available to you 24/7, regardless of what anyone else is doingYou can love someone deeply and still set firm boundariesThe emotion of love benefits YOU first - it's basically the ultimate gift you give yourselfMy Challenge For You: Pick someone in your life who's challenging to love right now. Write down all the conditions you're putting on loving them. Then ask yourself: "What would it feel like to love them no matter what, all the time?" Try it with yourself. What would unconditional love toward yourself look like? The Random Love Experiment: Next time you're out and about, try what I call "random love" (yes, I need a better name for this). Look at strangers and think "I love you" in your head. It sounds weird, feels amazing, and sends more love out into the world. What's not to love about that? "How we treat ourselves in private is how we will treat others in public."Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista
In this episode, we break down a rarely talked-about but crucial concept in ACL rehab: familiarization with strength testing. From isometric quad tests to full testing protocols, we talk through how unfamiliarity with machines, cues, and even the environment can drastically skew test results—often underestimating an athlete's true capacity. I share personal experiences, common clinical pitfalls, and real-world athlete examples to highlight why repeated exposure, consistent setup, and managing expectations can make all the difference in generating accurate data. Whether you're an athlete or clinician, this is a must-listen if you're relying on testing to guide decisions in ACL rehab.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

What if I told you that acceptance - the thing you think means "giving up" - actually requires MORE effort than fighting? And what if this one shift could stop your parenting triggers in their tracks? Hey parents! I'm giving myself high fives over here because this episode is going to blow your mind about what acceptance actually means in connected parenting. If you've been in League with me, you're probably rolling your eyes because I say "accept, accept, accept" ALL the time.

In this episode, we break down why flare-ups and setbacks in ACL rehab are not only normal but expected when you're pushing your limits. Using simple analogies like “bandwidth” and the “cup”, we explain how setbacks are data points, not failures, and why the real danger is often being underloaded rather than pushing too far. You'll hear how to adapt when your knee acts up, why flare-ups + setbacks should be reframed as part of the growth process, and how the goal is building resilience and long-term progress—not perfection day to day.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

I'm standing in my kitchen, staring at the mess, kids bickering in the background, and my brain is screaming, “We're going down!” You know those moments when you're about to lose it, when correction mode feels inevitable, and you just want to eject out of the whole parenting gig for five minutes? Yeah, I've been there. More times than I can count. And here's the wild thing: those are the exact moments when I've learned to practice something that used to feel impossible for me, feeling proud of myself. Not arrogant. Not fake. Not “my kids are perfect angels and I'm crushing it.” I mean the quiet kind of proud, the kind that whispers, “Hey, you stayed calm. You showed up. You tried.” This episode is the second half of a two-part series. In Episode #176 we talked about regret (ouch). Today we're swinging to the other end of the spectrum: pride. The good kind. The kind we want to model for our kids so they don't grow up thinking they have to earn love or validation by being flawless. Here's what you'll hear inside: Why pride has been so hard for me (confession: I used to literally gag when my husband read me kind emails from clients).How parents in my programs are learning to celebrate themselves in the middle of laundry piles, meltdowns, and messy houses.Why feeling proud is not optional fluff — it's actually a superpower that calms your nervous system and fuels growth.A question you can ask yourself today that will help you create the emotion of pride on purpose.Parenting is full of emergency landings. You're going to have turbulence, and you're going to have moments when you're convinced you've lost the plot. But if you can walk away from those moments and still say, “I'm proud of myself for how I showed up” that changes everything. So let's talk about how to land the plane safely, even when you feel like you're about to lose it.

Unlock Your Dream Life...The Power of Being Unbothered | Get Up and Glow Podcast
I woke up this morning to the most incredible thunderstorm (which got me up way too early, thanks Mother Nature), and instead of being grumpy about it, I had this wild thought: "What if I just recorded that podcast episode I've been marinating on?" Today we're diving into a concept that literally changed my life which is...--> It doesn't get any better than this
In this episode, we break down why professional athletes often have ACL surgery within days of injury while most people are advised to wait. I share five key differences—from the role of prehab and long-term outcomes to the massive resources, contracts, and career timelines that drive pro athletes into faster surgeries. You'll also hear why rushing into surgery can set you back, why a “quiet knee” matters most, and why comparing yourself to an NFL or NBA star isn't the best blueprint for your recovery.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

Picture this: You've just had the most beautiful vision for your afternoon. Snacks are prepped, your nervous system is regulated, and you're ready to welcome your kids home with the kind of calm connection that makes parenting books weep with joy. Then reality shows up. Your 5-year-old melts down about the "wrong" crackers, your teenager rolls their eyes so hard they practically fall out, and suddenly you're yelling about homework like you're auditioning for a reality show you never wanted to be on.Welcome to what I like to call "productive failure" and it's about to become your new best friend.What We're Diving Into Today:The Dictionary Definition That Will Blow Your Mind – Turns out failure is way more neutral than we thought (spoiler: it's just "omission of expected action" – how boring is that?!)Why We're Actually Avoiding the Wrong Thing – Plot twist: We're not afraid of failure itself, we're afraid of our thoughts ABOUT failureThe Baby Walking Wisdom – Those adorable falls aren't obstacles, they're literally building the muscles needed to walk (mind = blown)Productive vs. Unproductive Failure – There's a difference between failing while putting yourself out there and failing by hiding in your comfort zoneThe Confidence Connection – Real confidence isn't about never failing, it's about getting really good at failing forwardWhat if your biggest parenting "disasters" are actually your success strategy in disguise? What if every time you lose your cool, forget to stay connected, or watch your beautiful bedtime routine implode, you're actually collecting the exact data you need to become the parent you want to be?Your Mission (Should You Choose to Accept It): Instead of avoiding failure, start collecting it like you're going for some kind of awesome parenting award. Every time something doesn't go according to plan, ask yourself: "What's the wisdom here? What's this teaching me about myself, my triggers, my capacity?"Your kids don't need you to be perfect. They need you to be human, to model resilience, and to show them that falling down and getting back up is literally how we grow. If this episode helped you see failure in a new light, would you mind leaving a review? It helps other parents find these conversations, and honestly, it makes my day when I get to read how this stuff is landing for you.Now go connect with your kids, and don't forget to connect with yourself too.Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista
I'm three days away from a family vacation, and my house looks like it got into a fight with a tornado... and lost. There are Amazon boxes everywhere (because apparently we ALL forgot "essential" items), laundry covering every surface, and yesterday? Our dog got skunked. Because OF COURSE.But here's the kicker, my kids are walking around like it's totally normal. My youngest's friend came over, I apologized for the mess, and she goes, "Oh, this reminds me of my bedroom!" I nearly died inside.You know that moment when your brain tries to convince you that EVERYONE ELSE is responsible for your feelings? Yeah, we're diving deep into that today.The difference between blame and responsibility:Blame = "This house is making me crazy!" (Translation: I'm powerless and someone else needs to fix this)Responsibility = "I'm making me crazy about this house" (Translation: I have the power to change this)After I finally made peace with the chaos and stopped trying to recruit my family into my stress spiral, I woke up the next morning and someone had mysteriously cleaned the entire house. Magic? Maybe. More likely proof that when we stop being the energy vampire in the room, good things happen."The reason I'm feeling upset right now is because of a thought I'm thinking."Mind. Blown. Right?When your kid has a meltdown about 10-minute chores, they're not being dramatic (okay, maybe a little). Their brain genuinely thinks this is the end of the world. Same energy as me wanting to flee the country because there are dishes in the sink.Random Insights:Emotions are self-generated (even when it feels like your teenager is personally attacking your soul)Nobody can actually "make" you feel anything (rude but true)Sometimes the best parenting happens when you stop trying so hardHouses clean themselves when you finally chill out (science!)Stay human and stay curious!Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

Ever find yourself lying in bed at night, replaying every parenting moment that went sideways that day? Yeah, me too. For years, I would literally drown in a sea of regret, beating myself up for every time I lost my cool, lectured instead of listened, or just plain missed the mark with my kids. But here's what I've learned: regret can either be your biggest parenting enemy or your secret weapon. The difference? How you use it. What We're Diving Into Today
In this episode, I share a personal story about repeatedly trying—and failing—to fix my broken AC, and how it parallels ACL rehab. We dive into why even those with fitness or rehab backgrounds can miss critical blind spots, the hidden costs of “DIY rehab,” and the importance of finding qualified, specialized help. Whether you're frustrated by slow progress, feeling lost, or piecing together your own program, this is your reminder: the right expert can save you time, energy, and setbacks—while giving you confidence in your comeback.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

Ever catch yourself doing mental gymnastics trying to figure out what the other playground parents think of your snack choices? Or maybe you're the type who rehearses conversations in your head before parent-teacher conferences? (Guilty as charged over here!) Today we're diving into something that literally changed my entire parenting game: learning the fine art of minding your own business. And trust me, it's way more revolutionary than it sounds. I'm getting real about my journey from chronic approval-seeker to someone who can actually sleep at night without worrying if the neighbors think I'm too lenient with screen time. Plus, I'm sharing that cringe-worthy moment when I watched former friends from my kitchen window and had the most uncomfortable (yet life-changing) realization ever. What You'll Discover The Party Revelation: Picture this, you're at a family gathering with 50 people. If you could actually control everyone's opinion of you, they'd ALL think the exact same thing, right? Plot twist: they absolutely don't! The Amazon Review That Rocked My World: How one anonymous review taught me everything about the difference between criticism and truth (spoiler: most criticism says way more about them than you) The Peach Principle: Sometimes you're just not someone's flavor, and that's totally okay! You can be the most amazing peach in the produce section, but some people are just apple people. From Playground to Peace: Why your kids actually need you to stop caring so much about what everyone thinks of your parenting choices The Real Talk Moments News flash: You literally cannot control other people's minds (I know, shocking!)That criticism from your mother-in-law? It's really just her sharing her worldviewYour kids can totally sense when you're performing instead of parentingBeing willing to be disliked is actually a superpower (who knew?)Quotes That Hit Different "You can be the juiciest peach in the world, but there's always gonna be somebody who doesn't like peaches, and it's not the peach's fault." "All we need is that freedom to allow people to be who they are without judgment, and sometimes people are gonna be critical." "When you don't need someone else's approval and you don't take on their criticism, you become free to create whatever you want in your life." Your Next Steps (Because We Love Action!) Ready to practice this whole "minding your own business" thing? Start here:Notice when you're editing your parenting for an audienceAsk yourself: "Wait, whose approval am I chasing right now?"Remember: Their thoughts about you = their stuff, not yoursGive yourself permission to be someone's "not my cup of tea" parentPractice validating yourself instead of seeking gold stars from everyone elseNext Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista

In this episode, we dive into the role of running as a milestone in ACL rehab—why it matters, when it should be introduced, and whether it's even necessary for every athlete. We break down the difference between blindly following time-based protocols and tailoring progressions to individual goals and readiness. You'll learn why running isn't always the ultimate benchmark, how it may open the door to more dynamic athletic movements, and why some ACLers may benefit from delaying or even skipping it altogether. Whether you want to get back to sport, return to daily life, or simply build resilience, this episode will give you clarity on making running a choice, not a rule.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

This episode is all about a pretty darn useful parenting tool I ever made, a 3x5 index card I kept in my back pocket. Not figuratively. Literally. It had my plan on it. My plan for when things went sideways. For when I was about to yell. For when I wanted to give up or threaten or bribe or storm off. I call it the Get Ready for Anything Plan. In this episode, I walk you through how to make one. I'll show you how to prep for the hardest moments in your parenting life before they happen, so you're not relying on willpower in the heat of the moment. You'll learn: What a Get Ready for Anything Plan is and why it worksHow to break down your top 3 triggering situationsHow to respond based on your nervous system's actual capacityWhat to do when your kids push back hardHow to lead with connection and still hold the lineThis is hands-on. You're invited to pause the episode and do the work with me as you listen. We also get into something most parents worry about:If I don't give a consequence, am I just letting them off the hook? I share exactly how I think about that, and how not punishing your child can actually increase your influence, not weaken it. If you've ever walked away from an interaction with your kid thinking, “That is not how I wanted to handle that,” this is for you.Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista
The mom in Target who judged me for my kids' meltdowns did me a favor. She showed me how toxic judgment was destroying my parenting. A few years later when a wise human shared this thought with me, I knew it was a keeper, "No one is worthy of my judgment, and everyone is worthy of my love." In this episode, I'm diving deep into Chapter 3 of my book, "Nothing Has Gone Wrong Here," and sharing the judgment detox that saved my sanity (and my relationship with my kids). Whether you're judging yourself for yelling, judging your kids for not listening, or feeling judged by other parents, this episode is your permission slip to let it all go. What I'm sharing:The Target Checkout Moment that made me realize I was grading myself on my kids' behavior (spoiler: your parenting report card doesn't include their meltdowns)The Dangerous Myth that compliant kids = good parenting (and why your "perfect" child might be struggling MORE than your "difficult" one)The Mindset Shift that transformed my triggered 10-year-old from "rude and entitled" to a kid who just needed understandingThe Freedom Formula: How "nothing has gone wrong here" becomes your nervous system's new best friend Key Takeaways:Your child's behavior doesn't mean anything about you: it only means something about themMeltdowns are information, not report cards: they're signs something isn't working for your child, not that you're failingCompliant doesn't equal healthy: internal meltdowns of shame can be just as concerning as external tantrumsWhen you judge less, you understand more: curiosity opens doors that criticism slams shutThe goal isn't no meltdowns: it's knowing what to do when they happenQuotes from This Episode:"An emotional meltdown is a sign that something isn't working for your child, not a sign that you're a parenting screw up.""Just because they're not melting down doesn't necessarily mean everything's working either. A compliant child could be struggling just as much as a disobedient child.""Their behavior doesn't mean anything about you. It only means something about them.""When I slowed down and reminded myself she's doing the best she can, even if it's not very good right now, everything changed."When facing challenging behavior, ask yourself:How would things change if I saw my child's behavior as evidence they were struggling?How easy or hard would it be to shift my interpretation of their behavior?Is continuing to judge this behavior serving me or my child?Would I want someone to respond to ME this way?Before the next episode, think of ONE situation that's currently challenging with your kids, something that triggers you or makes you want to judge (them or yourself).

I'm diving deep into one of the biggest mindset shifts I've ever made as a parent: learning to accept my child's behavior without condoning it. We're unpacking Chapter 2 of my book—Control the Controllables—but I'm not just reading it. I'm bringing in fresh reflections, personal stories, and real-life coaching conversations to help you reclaim your peace, even when your child's behavior feels completely out of your hands. You'll hear how I used to believe controlling my kids was my job, and how focusing on what I actually could control changed everything from the tone in my home to my own sense of confidence and calm. If you've ever thought,“If I accept this behavior, won't it just continue?”“I've lost control, and I don't know how to get it back.”“I want to set limits and stay connected—can I do both?”This episode will meet you right where you are. Today I'm covering:Why controlling your child's behavior doesn't work, and what to do insteadWhat's actually in your control as a parent (way more than you think!)Why acceptance isn't the same as condoning—and how it helps you show up at your bestHow to stay grounded, even in high-conflict momentsThe six powerful questions that shift you out of judgment and into connectionThe Six Acceptance Questions Use these whenever you feel triggered, powerless, or judgmental. They'll help you shift from resistance to compassion—and from reactivity to leadership.How does what they did or said make perfect sense to them? (Step into their world. What might they be feeling or needing?)What do their words or actions tell me about them—not about me? (This isn't personal. It's a window into their internal world.)How does what I did or said make perfect sense to me? (Offer yourself compassion, too. Your reaction came from somewhere.)What would serve everyone's highest good right now? (Let this question guide your next move—grounded and connected.)What am I making this moment mean about me—or about them? (Reveal the story your brain is telling so you can question it.)Do I want to accept what just happened? If not, why? If yes, why? (This gives you permission to pause, reflect, and choose.) Before the day ends, take 5 minutes and:Make your “Controllables List:” Write down everything in your parenting world that you do have control over (your thoughts, tone, routines, boundaries, energy, etc.)Use the Acceptance Questions: Pick one moment that felt hard this week and walk through the six questions above.Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista
In this episode, we dive into the “bracing illusion” many ACL athletes face after surgery. We break down why relying on a locked brace can give a false sense of security around knee extension — and why zero degrees is not good enough. You'll learn why regaining hyperextension is crucial, the pitfalls of conservative post-op bracing protocols, and how to avoid the mistake that slows so many ACLers down. Whether you're fresh out of surgery, months into recovery, or a clinician guiding athletes, this conversation will change the way you think about post-op braces and knee extension in ACL rehab.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.

In this episode, we talk about one of the most underrated but guaranteed parts of ACL rehab. Sh*t will happen. Whether it's a flare-up, a groin strain, a missed session, or life throwing curveballs—sh*t happens. I share my personal story of a recent setback, the emotional rollercoaster that followed, and how I navigated it using mindset and movement strategies.

Have you ever caught yourself waiting? Waiting to feel confident. Waiting for your kids to behave so you can feel calm. Waiting for the house to be clean so you can feel peace. I see you. I've been there, lying in bed, praying tomorrow would be different. That somehow I'd wake up and magically feel like the parent I wanted to be. Here's what I discovered after my baby powder blizzard moment 17 years ago: Those emotions we are waiting for? They're not coming in a specially wrapped package. What We're Exploring Together We can manufacture the emotions we want to feel. Not by forcing. Not by bypassing. But by understanding that we are the creators of our emotional experience. I promise this episode isn't about toxic positivity or pushing away negative feelings. It's about recognizing our power when we're ready to use it. The Five Truths That Set Us Free We're not supposed to feel happy all the time (and thank goodness for that)Every emotion belongs - they're all part of this messy, beautiful human experienceOur thoughts create the meaning - it's not the situation, it's our story about itWe need the contrast - without the hard, we can't appreciate the beautifulEmbracing negative emotions makes them less scary - resistance creates suffering, acceptance creates freedomThe Practice (Because Love Is a Verb) Creating emotions is about:Recognizing what you're feeling without judgmentDeciding how you want to feel (yes, you get to choose!)Finding thoughts you actually believe that support that feelingPracticing, practicing, practicing (like going to the gym for your heart) You are the author of your emotional experience. This Week's Loving Challenge What emotion do you want to create? Not someday. Not when things get easier. But right now, in the messy middle of your real life. Pick one. Maybe it's confidence. Maybe it's compassion. Maybe it's just plain old peace. Then ask yourself: What would I need to believe to feel this way?Next Steps: Leave a review if you've been enjoying the CMP Podcast My Book: https://cmp.works/1xs My IG: https://cmp.works/ista
In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest issues plaguing ACL rehab today: athletes being left to “figure it out”. Just because you're cleared doesn't mean you're ready—and DIY-ing your own rehab using Instagram exercises or generic templates can cost you months or even years of progress. We dive into the complexity of ACL rehab, why social media is a minefield of misinformation, and how proper guidance—whether remote or in-person—is essential. We talk through powerful analogies, insights from real conversations with ACLers, and explain why even professionals shouldn't rehab themselves. If you've been piecing together your own workouts or feel lost after PT, this one's a must-listen.Ways we can connect:My IG: www.instagram.com/ravipatel.dptOur website: www.theaclathlete.comEmail: ravi@theaclathlete.com_________________Submit a topic or a question you'd like me to answer.Check out our website and tons of free ACL resourcesSign up for The ACL Athlete - VALUE Newsletter (an exclusive newsletter packed with value - ACL advice, go-to exercises, ACL research reviews, athlete wins, frameworks we use, mindset coaching, blog articles, podcast episodes, and pre-launch access to some exciting projects we have lined up)1-on-1 Remote ACL Coaching - A clear plan.
