There's a lot to be worried about these days!  Whether you're feeling anxious about the ongoing pandemic or just concerned that your teen is struggling in school, it's easy to let distress clutter your mind. When we let that anxiety crawl around in our brain, we often find ourselves distracted from the better moments in life, thinking obsessively about a work meeting when we're supposed to be spending quality time with our families. Interestingly, that voice inside our head–the one that's always muttering about the past and the future–can be useful, if we know how to harness it. This inner dialogue comes from an evolutionary need to learn from past mistakes to survive the next challenge, and can help us immensely when tackling life's challenges! If parents can learn to steer this voice in a positive direction, they can help teens do the same. That way, these young adults will know how to handle that tricky inner dialogue before they head off into the real world.Our guest this week is one of the world's leading experts on controlling the conscious mind as well as an award-winning professor of psychology and business at the University of Michigan! His name is Ethan Kross, and his new book is called Chatter: The Voice in Our Head, Why It Matters, and How to Harness It. In our interview, Ethan and I are getting into how and why we talk to ourselves, and what we can do to make the most of our inner voice.In this week's interview, we're discussing the idea of being “present”...and why it doesn't always help us feel better. Plus, we're diving into tons of other strategies for harnessing your inner voice that might be the perfect solution to that constant worrying!

Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episodeWe often hear that the secret to a healthy relationship of any kind is communication...but what does that really mean? Does it mean apologizing when we feel we've messed up, or daring to discuss uncomfortable topics? Are there certain things we shouldn't say, and how do we know when we're communicating too much? How do we get teens who are checked out to actually hear what we're saying? These questions and more are keeping us from having an open, communicative relationship with our teens.But when bad communication causes so many problems, it's understandable that you might be hesitant. When you're feeling frustrated or upset with your teen, certain ways of communicating can deepen the divide between the two of you instead of building a bridge. Teens who are dealing with pressures from every side of life can sometimes drive us up the wall–and despite our best efforts, we too often let our communication fall into a pattern of yelling, nagging and not really listening to what they have to say. This week, we're helping you fight the tendency to slip into all the fussing and fighting. By giving you the guidance to create a healthier, more communicative relationship with your teen, our hope is to bring some harmony to your home. Our guest is David Bradford, professor at Stanford's graduate school of business and author of Connect: Building Exceptional Relationships with Family, Friends, and Colleagues. David's been teaching a seminar at Stanford on interpersonal dynamics for two decades, and he's here to share some of the most valuable insights from his work with us.David and I are discussing why teens often refuse to hear anything we have to say, and how we can open up a stronger, more positive channel of communication between us and them. We're providing alternatives to giving advice, which, according to David, in'ts as effective as we think! Plus, we're discussing what David calls the “three realities of communication” to uncover why our misunderstandings can so often lead to hurt feelings or accusations.Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episode

Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episodeIt's hard to think of a group that gets labelled more than teenagers. Whether we declare them slackers, class clowns, popular kids or outcasts, it can be easy to put them in boxes based on their personalities! But have you ever considered that personalities aren't as constant as you might think? Maybe teens' personalities change with time as they grow or fluctuate depending on who they're with or where they are. They might even have the power to intentionally change their own personalities if they put their minds to it.The debate over whether human personality is stable or fluid is one that reaches back through the history of psychology. Some scientists in the past believed that our personalities were set in stone by age thirty, while others believe there's no such thing as a set personality at all! Are our personalities decided at birth, or are they decided by the events of our lives? Do we have a role in choosing our own personality or is it something that just happens to us?These are the kinds of questions we're asking Christian Jarrett this week. He's been a leading cognitive neuroscientist for two decades with work featured on the BBC, in Vice, Guardian, GQ and more! His book, Be Who You Want: Unlocking the Science of Personality Change, tackles commonly asked questions we all have about defining our personalities and changing ourselves for the better. He's here to cover some of the most interesting points and give advice for parents of teens with rapidly changing personalities.In our interview, Christian explains why teens are especially vulnerable to personality change! We're also covering the effects of social situations on teens' personalities, and how you can help your teen use certain techniques to actively work towards being the person they want to be.Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episode

Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episode When our middle or high schoolers are driving us up the wall, we often attribute their wacky behavior to hormones. They weren't this crazy when they were younger, and we pray they won't be this unpredictable as adults, so we assume it must be those teenage chemicals in their brains making them act up. It's just a biological process, and there's nothing we can do...right?But attributing all of our teens' behavior to hormones can bring up some complicated questions for parents. Like, with everything going on in her brain already, would it be wise to put my daughter on birth control? Or, is it normal, hormonal, behavior that keeps my teenager out late, causes him to drive like a maniac? What if there are other factors to consider when pondering these questions that can make things a little clearer for parents?To find out, we're talking to Dr. Sarah McKay, renowned neuroscientist, to find out what role hormones really play in teen's development...and what popular ideas are actually misconceptions! Dr. McKay is an Oxford educated doctor with years of experience researching brian science. Finding herself intrigued by outdated or misconstrued ideas about the female mind, she decided to write The Women's Brain Book, a comprehensive look at the development of women's neural pathways.  In this week's episode, Dr. McKay's demystifying the role of hormones during puberty–and explaining why we give them too much weight. Plus, we're discussing the specific brain changes our pubescent kids are experiencing, and getting into how gender stereotypes seep into what should be purely scientific perspectives of puberty.Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episode

In this episode, Michelle is joined by Kate Anthony, a certified divorce coach who helps women deal with the difficulties of divorce with children.  In this candid conversation, the duo uncovers myths about relationship separation and lends advice for parenting through divorce.     When we can keep our children at the "center" instead of the middle of divorce we help our kids process the messiness of separation, custody and visitation. It isn't easy to make a decision around ending your marriage especially with children, but we can emerge on the other side with love, connectedness and a family that still feels like a family. It might look different and be arranged in a new way but connection can remain regardless.     Kate brings her experience with helping women navigate this trying time to help others find peace around this process and trying experience.       Are you ready to change your family dynamic through connective parenting?

Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episodeWe're all familiar with the term “boys will be boys.” It's often used when guys are physical, detached, aggressive, and violent. making it seem as though these behaviors are the norm. Much of society acts as though these traditionally “masculine” tendencies are simply intrinsic to male DNA...which can make us feel like there's nothing we can do when our sons get into trouble for it.But what if there was a way we could talk to our boys to help them realize that this behavior is not the only option? What if we could show them that, by slowing down and thinking about the situation at hand, they may find it wiser to simply keep the peace instead of causing a ruckus? This week, we're revealing how you can sit down with your son and prevent all the brawling before it starts, or get through to a teen boy who's masculinity might need a makeover.Our guest is Andrew Reiner, author of Better Boys, Better Men: The New Masculinity That Creates Greater Courage and Emotional Resiliency.

I had a situation come up with my daughter's Halloween costume that made me reflect about cultural appropriation; and in particular what I have taught my daughter on the topic.  While I recognize that it is okay for us to appreciate someone else's culture, it is not okay for us to consume aspects of a culture for which its people can experience racism, xenophobia, discrimination and more for. Teaching our children to be empowered and aware humans means educating them on these topics from a young age, and Halloween is a key time to have these conversations.  Episode's Blog Post http://vidawithchristie.com/2021/10/29/episode-29-speaking-to-children-about-cultural-appropriation/  Connect With Me Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/VidaWithChristie/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/VidaWithChristie/ Twitter: https://www.twitter.com/VWCpodcast/ Learn more about the Vida With Christie Podcast at http://vidawithchristie.com/podcast. 

Growing up, I was taught that to be a good kid-- you needed to behave and follow instructions, or else society would label you a bad kid. So naturally, when I began my journey in motherhood, I stepped into it with that same kind of mindset. I fell into the hole of believing that society's opinion was my benchmark for being a good mother-- because I had well-behaved kids controlled by star charts and shame. It wasn't until I made peace with my own childhood that I realized I needed to break the cycle with my own daughters and really build that connection to fix my relationship with them. Though these old habits lurk around the corners sometimes and rear their head, I am so much more conscious now of when I need to take a step back. So if you're a recovering yeller just like me, then I'd highly recommend you listen in on how I managed to unlearn controlling my kids, to working in harmony and cooperation with them!   Episode Highlights: My misguided goals as a parent Society's praise for control Why we need to prioritize how our kids see us, not society Kids' behavior is not a byproduct of control, it's a reflection of your relationship   Are you ready to change your family dynamic through connective parenting? Work with me one on one and together we'll hone in on the sources of discontent and chaos, and find solutions that are specific to your family's needs.

Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episodeIt feels like these days, we're all a little more tired than we'd like to be! We pour ourselves an extra cup of coffee in the afternoon, feed our kids nutritious meals to give them a boost, and declare an early bedtime...but none of it seems to help! You and your kids might feel bogged down by 3 PM, or struggle to finish a basic to-do list. We're trying to take care of ourselves, so why are we feeling so exhausted?Turns out, the answer is a lot more complicated than you might think–and it's based in sophisticated nutrition science. Your body's natural processes have been interrupted by our society's agricultural and medical practices, and it might be causing you to have a fraction of the energy you once had! The chemicals in your food and the prescriptions you're taking may be doing more harm than good when it comes to creating a happier, healthier life for yourself and your kids.To shine some light on this energy deficiency, we're sitting down with Dr. Steven Gundry! He's a former cardiac surgeon and the author of several successful books on nutritional science, including his new book: The Energy Paradox: What to Do When Your Get-Up-and-Go Has Got Up and Gone. In this week's episode, we're diving into the mechanisms at play in our body's digestion and immune systems–and what we're doing that's causing those mechanisms to get all kinds of messed up.Ever heard of a microbiome? We're talking all about how this home for trillions of microorganisms inside your gut serves as the center of your body's functions….and how our practices are rendering it ineffective. Plus, we're getting into the real truth about fiber, and unpacking the nuances of metabolic flexibility to explain why we just can't seem to stay energized.Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episode

“It takes a village to raise a child.” is an old saying I'm sure many of you have heard. We're so worried about the judgment of other parents that when our kids misbehave, we spend more energy fighting them when that same energy should be spent on connecting with our kids and raising them. So in this episode, I'm excited to be joined by DJ Johnson, a fellow parenting coach and my first guest dad on the podcast. With a specialty in working with teens, he'll share with us his personal parenting philosophies and how he's been working with parents to inspire and motivate them to build healthy and genuine connections with their kids. A true village doesn't try tearing down its members. We can work towards listening and supporting one another so we are the best versions of ourselves, and in turn, position our kids to be their own best selves too. So don't miss out on this amazing episode!    Episode Highlights: How DJ Johnson got into the parenting work and his experiences working with parents How working with teens gave him a unique perspective on interacting with kids As a parent, you need to learn to put your ego and pride aside His six modules on how to parent without punishment It's okay to feel frustrated or mad, but consider how you model them   Are you ready to change your family dynamic through connective parenting? Work with me one on one and together we'll hone in on the sources of discontent and chaos, and find solutions that are specific to your family's needs.

Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episodeParenting is never predictable. Even when we think we know our kid, some new interest or personality trait suddenly comes out of left field. Maybe your kid has always been a total carnivore, but this week, all their friends are vegan...so they want to be vegan too! Yesterday, your kid wanted to be a pro basketball player, but today they want to be a painter...tomorrow they'll tell you they're destined to be a scientist. It can be dizzying to keep up with your teens as they grow and evolve everyday!But what about when a kid who's always happy and smiling suddenly seems tired and disinterested in things? Or when your teen who swore they'd never smoke accidentally leaves a vape in the kitchen? When these kinds of unexpected parenting troubles pop up, it's hard to adjust and react effectively. It can be incredibly challenging to avoid the urge to panic, and nearly impossible to remain cool and parent through peril.According to this week's guest, the secret to handling the ups and downs is to define our values–and stick to them. His name is Frank Figliuzzi and he' the former assistant director of the FBI, served as FBI chief inspector for sensitive internal inquiries, and is now a national security analyst for NBC news! His new book, The FBI Way: Inside the Bureau's Code of Excellence, highlights the principles that make the FBI so successful at handling crises and explains how you can apply those same principles when things go awry with your teen.In the episode, we're touching on what Frank calls “the seven Cs”, or seven fundamentals that parents can practice to create a harmonious house and handle conflict when it arises. We're covering the importance of sticking to a code of values, practicing clarity, and enforcing consistent consequences–but not without compassion, credibility and conservancy. Click for full show notes, exercises, and parenting scripts from this episode

We parents have been taught that our children's behavior must be corrected through punishments and manipulations, and sadly, this has been accepted as the default mode of parenting. And when compounding other stressors in lives, it becomes so easy to unconsciously fall back on that out of desperation to change their behavior. So I want to talk about where we should focus when it comes to our children's behavior. Looking inward and self-reflecting on our own behavior is a critical factor in transforming our relationship with our children into a healthier one. You'd be surprised at how willingly children will open up to us when we make an active effort to change, so please make sure to listen in on this episode!   Episode Highlights: We resort to punishments as a desperate attempt to change our child's behavior Nobody likes being manipulated or be forced to comply, especially children The ultimate way to change our family's dynamics is to change ourselves   Resources mentioned in this episode: "Parenting from the Inside Out” by Daniel J. Siegel   Are you ready to change your family dynamic through connective parenting? Work with me one on one and together we'll hone in on the sources of discontent and chaos, and find solutions that are specific to your family's needs.

Anxiety is a pretty common feeling–you likely know how it feels to have your heart suddenly race in your chest, your palms go sweaty and your words turn to gibberish before a big presentation or confrontation. Having these anxious feelings is bad enough when it's an isolated incident, but many of us–and our kids–might be feeling anxiety every day! This could be caused by anything, from eating to driving to social situations! For kids handling school, sports, clubs, college apps and friendship drama, anxiety may be a frequent presence keeping them from living their best life.It seems like this anxiety is simply an unavoidable, biological force, but our guest this week is encouraging us to think about anxious behaviors a little differently. Instead of viewing them as something we have little control over, he's telling us how anxiety may actually just be a force of habit, and therefore something we can change! Anxious responses follow the same patterns as habits, are often caused by similar triggers, and, as we're discussing this week, can be treated in similar ways.If you're looking to heal you or your teen's anxious patterns, this is the episode for you! Our guest is Judson Brewer, author of Unwinding Anxiety: New Science Shows How to Break the Cycles of Worry and Fear to Heal Your Mind. Judson is not only an internationally renowned psychiatrist and neuroscientist, but also the director of research and innovation at Brown's mindfulness center. His 2016 Ted Talk, tilted “A Simple Way to Break a Bad Habit, has over 16 million views on YouTube!In our interview, we're diving into how anxious tendencies act just like habits–with triggers, behavior and rewards. Plus, we're getting into how you can understand and reflect on your own behaviors, if you just have the courage to be curious.

Join Lynn and Robin as they respond to a listener question that will resonate with many. When parents struggle with anxiety, it is difficult to watch their children repeat similar patterns. Lynn describes how to disrupt family patterns and how we can move through the blame and shame.NEW Course for Parents!Managing Anxiety in Children: A Guide for ParentsThis self-paced course covers the core tools a family needs to manage their anxiety, the same principles Lynn teaches to families in her private practice.This course includes 6 video modules from Lynn Lyons, LICSW, and 9 additional Q&A videos from Lynn and Robin of Flusterclux.What you'll get:Understand how anxiety works so that you can help manage your kids and your own.Learn what to say when anxiety shows up for you or your kids.For Kids: A special video that explains how anxiety works suitable for those ages 6 and up.Follow UsJoin the email list to get news on the upcoming courses for parents, teens, and kids.Follow Flusterclux on Facebook and Instagram.Follow Lynn Lyons on Twitter and Youtube.New episodes arrive Friday at 12:00AM EST.

With schools slowly opening back up too, it might be a period of uncertainty and anxiety for our kids-- especially for the little ones who are coming into kindergarten or middle school for the first time. It's a time where they're trying to figure out their own interests, hobbies, and identities, alongside their own peers while simultaneously dealing with academics and social interactions. These are some of the concerns fellow mother and this week's guest, Navia, shared with me. I'll be sitting down with her to answer her questions on how she can help her daughters' transition into a new stage of their lives while also finding ways she can take an active and encouraging role in cultivating their dreams and interests. There are ways to help our children grow into confident and self-assured people without being controlling so please tune into this episode! Episode Highlights: How Navia can make her kid's whining go away How to help her daughter transition going back to school Don't worry too much about whether or not your kids are making friends Give your kids the freedom on what they want to wear Being open to your kids' interests and ways you can cultivate it    Are you ready to change your family dynamic through connective parenting?

For many of us, education is the #1 priority for our kids. A good education can help lift kids out of poverty, can ensure a financially stable and independent future, and can open up the doors of opportunity and possibility, no matter what they dream of doing! While hobbies, social life and athleticism are all important parts of helping kids become well rounded, education is key to giving them the ticket to a prosperous life.But the sad truth is that our education system might not be doing what we need it to do! In many ways, our current curriculum takes the wrong approach, leaving kids without the knowledge they need to succeed in adulthood. Today's schooling is especially ineffective for students who are not so affluent, with a rising gap in test scores and academic performance between those on the highest and lowest ends of the socioeconomic spectrum.So how can we create an effective, equitable system that gives our kids the chance they deserve? Our guest, Natalie Wexler, is here to help us find out. She's the author of The Knowledge Gap: The Hidden Cause of America's Broken Education System--and how to Fix it. In our interview, she's bringing attention to the serious issues facing today's students, and how schools can start doing better by those they teach.Natalie and I are discussing how our schools are focused on helping kids develop critical thinking skills instead of helping them build up a base of knowledge. Although this might sound like the right approach, it's actually doing a disservice to kids all across the country! We're also getting into why our nation's wealth gap is so present in our education system, and discussing how you as a parent can give your kids' education a boost.
