Many of you know that I was an elementary school teacher. I have taught every grade in public and private schools, and I homeschooled our 7 children.The schools ask the teachers to prepare a supply list for the parents each year of all the things their children will need in order to learn well.Crayons, glue sticks, notebooks, pencil box, markers, pencils, Kleenex and many other items.And while it's important for your children to have the necessary supplies they need to complete their work, I think there's another back-to-school list that is actually more important.Check out my course, Virtue-Based Parenting, at janetquinlan.com/coursesCheck out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

What is self-image?  How your child sees themselves and how they think others see them – what they think about themselves and what they tell themselves about what and who they are.A child with a poor self-image will often have low self-esteem. Low self-esteem is when a child lacks confidence about who they are and what they can do.  A poor self-image contributes to low self-esteem which contributes to low self-confidenceCheck out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

 There's a basic human need of belonging that everyone possesses.A family culture gives that "sense of belonging" to each child.  It is the set of shared attitudes, values, goals, and practices that characterize your family. It is the foundation of your family.A family culture doesn't take away the individuality of people within the family, it simply characterizes what we work to have in common.Creating a shared vision or family culture bonds the parents and children as well as siblings because they support and challenge each other to live up to the family code of conduct.They “aren't the only ones” who can or can't do something in social settings. Their siblings also follow the set rules of the family and if they don't, a sibling will usually inform the parents.If WE don't give our children a culture to belong to, society or their peer group will. Check out my free resources on marriage, parenting, home management, and faith life/mindset at janetquinlan.comFollow me on Instagram @janetquinlancoaching

The benefits of coaching for moms begin with clarity, confidence, and contentment. Many women want it all! But when anxiety and emotional chaos ensue, achieving goals can feel beyond reach. That is where the benefits of coaching for moms come into play. With the help of coaching, you can maximize your potential in both motherhood and career. The benefits of coaching for moms: a story. Recently, during a coaching session with a client, she expressed her goal of losing weight. She had been trying for quite some time, but despite her efforts, including having an accountability partner, she continued to have cravings and fall short of her goal. The benefits of coaching for moms In the above story, you can see a clear benefit of coaching: identifying new ways to approach challenges associated with achieving a goal. However, for moms, coaching goes well beyond this example. To be even good mothers, we must first understand and connect with ourselves.

Likewise, if anxiety and emotional chaos are ensuing around us, we will not be able to achieve our goals, personally or professionally. Read the full show notes and access additional links.

For this week's Kids Health Check, Kieran is joined by Aoife Lee, Parenting Coach at ParentSupport.ie to discuss how you can support your teenagers while they are doing their Junior and Leaving Cert exams.

Play is more than just a way to pass the time- it's how kids learn, connect, and thrive. But for many parents, knowing how to “play right” with their kids can feel confusing, exhausting, or even a little overwhelming. In this episode, I sit down with Jill Lerman, a play and parenting coach, early childhood educator, and mom, to explore the true power of play and why it doesn't need to be Pinterest-perfect to be effective. We unpack the misconceptions around play, how to shift from being your child's entertainer to becoming their facilitator, and why independent play is one of the greatest gifts you can give your child (and yourself). Jill also shares how play builds emotional regulation, frustration tolerance, creativity, and real-world problem-solving skills. From playroom setups to screen time detox strategies, this episode is packed with practical, empowering tips to help you bring more joy and ease into your parenting through the power of play.

In this special joint episode of The Fresh Start Family Show, Wendy sits down with two incredible Fresh Start Family students, Cayla Schultz and Cristina Johnson, to share their inspiring transformations from overwhelmed, reactive moms to confident, connected parents.

Our post-Process panel, Kevin, Steve, and Zeina, gather together with Drew to share both personal and professional insights into why your days after the Hoffman Process are so important to the journey that lies ahead. As Hoffman teacher and coach, Zeina Mobassaleh, says about leaving the Process, "You're not done, you've just begun." Why is this time immediately post-Process so important? Listen in as our delightful post-Process panel of teachers shines a light on the gifts that lie ahead over the days, weeks, and after completing the Hoffman Process. Kevin offers insights into the Hoffman tools and practices. As he says, "We get good at what we practice." Hoffman Practices are offered through the Hoffman App and daily on Instagram, where you can practice with the Hoffman community. Steve underscores the importance of the weekend after the Process. He explains that a large part of the Process is becoming Spirit embodied. Steve shares that we can "settle in and allow the work just completed to percolate down and in where the Spirit meets the bones" during the integration weekend. Zeina generously shares a beautiful quote that her Hoffman Process teacher told her upon graduation about the sun and clouds, and how to flow with our internal weather. Zeina reminds us that during our Process week, we've come to see the sun. Clouds will come again, but the tools and practices that can clear the clouds away. You can return to this conversation to refresh your memories of your Process and reset your daily Hoffman practices. We hope you enjoy this conversation and use it to stay grounded in your Hoffman transformation. Our Post-Process Panel Kevin Eyres: "I am passionate about supporting people on their healing journey, facing what is blocking them, finding their full range of emotions, and embodying self-love. My Process showed me how to face my shame, self-doubt, and destructive patterns from a fundamentally different perspective – self-compassion.” Kevin Eyres holds a B.S. in Computer Science from the University of Texas at San Antonio. He is a seasoned technology executive and a YPO member since 2002. Kevin is also an executive coach and speaker. Kevin, his wife, and daughter live in Los Altos Hills, California. Listen to Kevin on The Hoffman Podcast Steve Granville: “I so enjoy witnessing the changes in students as they move through the Process. It is such an honor and privilege.” When Steve did his Process, he discovered, “A profound sense of who I really am. I finally understood that I was not my patterns and that by simply being honest about what was true for me, I could cultivate the intimacy with myself and others that I always wanted.” Steve Granville holds a Master's degree in International Management. He is a Restorative Justice facilitator and trainer, and executive leadership consultant in clinical healthcare. He loves helping people grow into their potential. Steve lives in the San Francisco Bay Area with his wife and two kids. They love playing together outside, especially in fresh powder. Zeina Mobassaleh: Zenia Mobassaleh holds a B.A. from Brown University, a J.D. from Columbia University, and diplomas from Sciences Po and the Sorbonne in Paris. She is a certified Parenting Coach, and has written the book, Your Children Are Not Your Children: 100 Mindful Baby Steps to a More Joyful Home. The Hoffman Process was a gift in Zeina's life, putting her on the path to responding rather than reacting in life, and to leading with love and living with joy. It is a gift that she feels lucky to be able to share with others as she supports them on their own paths and journeys to healing. As mentioned in this episode: The Hoffman App Your journey to discover your authentic self does not end after the completion of a Hoffman course. Rather, it is just the beginning. The Hoffman App is here to support you as you continue this journey, today and far into the future.
