It's the last conversation of MID, Season Two, with our guest Alison Brahe Daddo. Ali was THE Australian model of the late 80s, on every magazine cover and on many a teenage girl's wall. She had a huge career here and overseas, and then she married the equally famous and swoon-worthy Cameron Daddo, backed right away from the industry, settled in LA and raised a family. Now, as Alison Brahe Daddo, or Ali, as very many of us know her, she's also become just the most honest, interesting voice about midlife and menopause and all the messy challenges it brings us. But in this episode, we're not actually talking about that. We're getting deep about surface stuff. Beauty, whatever it means to us - and let's be honest, there's a sliding scale of how much any of us can ever claim to have felt beautiful, at any age - is a beast in midlife. Because how we wear our age on our face and our bodies can feel so important, so crucial to how the outside world sees us, even as we know it's really the silliest of all our concerns. It often doesn't feel that way. Listen to Holly and Ali discuss how they're feeling, what they're doing about, and where they stand on the mistakes they've made in thinking and talking about our faces and our bodies as we move on through.

Raising confident kids starts with us! Our kids watch our actions and they hear our words and whether we like it or not sometimes they repeat our words (good or bad!).    The same goes for body image and self-esteem. They see us and how we act and talk about our bodies and food and they just emulate what they see.  Today we're talking about ways to help our kids be confident! Hope you enjoy! Jennifer P.S.

Have you found it harder to tune into YOUR right decisions since becoming a parent? I definitely experienced a huge amount of tiring indecision when I became a Mum, and at times found it almost impossible at times to reconcile certain choices for myself and my life - in case I made the wrong one! And this is something that my podcast guest this week, Sarah Billingham, found really challenging to navigate when she became a parent, which she talks about in detail in this highly relatable episode. Sarah is a Mum of 2, a specialist speech and language therapist, the founder of her business Confident Kids and the host of her own brilliant podcast called Raising Confident Kids with SEN - and through her work Sarah equips parents, carers and practitioners with expert knowledge and tools to support children with Special educational needs. Despite having always carved out her own path with relative ease pre-kids, Sarah shares the strong internal conflict she experienced after becoming a parent which subsequently invited her to challenge and re-construct the way she made choices for herself, her family and her professional future. But that process was far from straightforward and through this chat Sarah shares the powerful journey she has been on, learning to navigate the loud internal debating and deliberating inside her head in order to Do Her Thing in life and parenthood with so much more confidence and conviction.

In this raw and real episode, Dr. Roberto Olivardia dives into the challenges and triumphs of raising children with ADHD, dyslexia, and other learning differences. The struggle is real, and sometimes parents feel helpless and overwhelmed when navigating these difficult waters. It's like trying to build a bridge without the right tools. What dads and parents want is to feel empowered, well-equipped, and supported in creating an environment where their children can thrive despite their differences. They want to know they are not alone in facing these challenges and that there is a way to support and champion their kids for who they are. In this special episode of The Dad Central Show, hosts Ed Gough Jr. and Drew Soleyn talk with Dr. Roberto Olivardia who shares his experiences and wisdom on parenting children with neurodiversity.  Here are three big takeaways from the conversation: Empowerment through empathy: Understanding and meeting children with ADHD and dyslexia where they are at is crucial for moving forward. Parents can lean into learning and understanding about their child's condition and provide unwavering support. Medication and stigmatization: Medication for ADHD is a tool, not a sign of failure. It can help individuals manage their condition and is an important part of the solution for some. Parents need to understand and not stigmatize the use of medication and work with healthcare professionals to find the best approach for their child. Celebrating differences: Dr. Olivardia shares practical strategies, such as role plays and highlighting successful individuals with similar challenges, to empower and encourage children to embrace their differences and build self-esteem beyond academic success. This episode will provide valuable insight and understanding of how to approach and champion children with learning differences. All parents can benefit from the conversation by gaining practical strategies and heartfelt stories to connect with their kids and support them on their unique journey. We appreciate all the listeners of The Dad Central Show and hope this episode brings guidance and comfort to parents navigating the world of neurodiverse children. If this episode resonated with you, please take a moment to review, like, and share it with other parents who may benefit from this invaluable discussion. As Dr. Roberto Olivardia said, "Understanding and meeting children where they are at is crucial for moving forward." Take the time to connect with your child, understand their needs, and champion their uniqueness. It's a journey worth taking.

Principle Season 3 Ep 5This episode is about raising confident kids. Are we doing too much for them?Principles govern the consequences of our choices. So let's figure out what they are - especially when it comes to very important things like our relationships. We have two choices when we encounter a principle: 1) align with it; or, 2) ignore it to our peril. Take the principle of gravity: we can align with it– build a hydroelectric dam, start a skydiving company, build a ski resort, etc.–or we can ignore it to our peril and fall off a cliff. Gravity doesn't change. Our respect and alignment (or not) with the principle is the only thing that changes. Principles govern relationships, too. They, like gravity, are ancient and timeless. And we have the same choice: align or ignore. Learn how principles govern the consequences of all of our choices.

Get ready to unlock the secrets of raising self-assured, confident kids as we sit down once again with Jay Shetty Certified Life Coach, Steffen Eidem. Discover the journey of instilling confidence in children through our engaging conversation which is deeply rooted in Steffen's personal experiences with his daughter. Understand how a confident child is not just one who steps into new territories with ease but also one who can express themselves fearlessly and stand up for their beliefs. As we dive deeper into this journey, we explore the crucial role language and actions play in building children's confidence. We highlight the importance of positive reinforcement and the power of focusing on children's specific efforts rather than labeling them. Furthermore, we extend this conversation to touch upon the need for boosting confidence in shy and excitable children as well. Learn the significance of spending quality time with them, allowing them to be themselves, and being confident role models ourselves. Tune in to this enlightening conversation, and let's work together on raising confident children!Steffen can be best contacted via Instagram @steffeneidemSue Reid is a certified life and success coach who specialises in helping her clients build their confidence so that they can face challenges in their personal and professional lives.Work with Sue if you want to feel more secure in your skin.If you want to face the world with a smile.If you feel stuck and not sure how to move forward.If you have a hard decision to make.

How do you find balance in raising confident and independent kids while still serving them?Teaching confidence and independence involves knowing when to step back and when to step in. It's about offering guidance and support while allowing them the space to try, fail, learn, and try again.Encouraging them to try new things and praising their efforts—whether big or small—can do wonders. Celebrate their victories, but also teach them how to handle challenges and setbacks gracefully. Remind them that mistakes are stepping stones to success, not stumbling blocks.It's natural to want to shield our kids from life's challenges, but fostering independence is so important. Start with age-appropriate responsibilities and gradually increase them. Letting them make choices (even if it means a mismatched outfit occasionally) helps them learn decision-making skills. Allow them space to solve problems on their own but be there as a safety net when needed.As parents, our goal isn't to do everything for our kids but to empower them to become capable, self-assured individuals who can navigate the world confidently. It's a journey that requires patience, guidance, and a whole lot of love.You're doing an amazing job, friends. Keep believing in your kids, keep fostering their confidence and independence, and watch them blossom into incredible individuals.Episode Highlights: Finding balance in parenting.Raising kids with confidence.Capitalizing on the challenges.Our kids are more capable than we think.Links Mentioned in Episode/Find More on Ryan and Shannon:Follow Shannon on InstagramFollow Ryan on InstagramVisit Shannon's WebsiteOrder your copy of The Entitlement Trap Here!This show has been produced by Adkins Media Co.

Terra Mattson is a dear friend of Christian Parenting and someone I really look up to as both a mom and a woman of faith, so I cannot wait for you to hear from her today. Terra is a licensed marriage and family therapist and executive coach who authored Courageous: Being Daughters Rooted in Grace and partnered with Christian Parenting to develop the Helping Moms Raise Confident Daughter Courses. Today we talk about performance based parenting…what is performance based parenting and how do we know if we are doing it? The truth is being human is messy and it doesn't always look perfect so sometimes we try to become perfect and performance based---but the message of the gospel is the opposite of that. So how do we raise our kids with this in mind? How do we help them through struggles and point them to Jesus and his grace? We also talk about the importance of doing our own work in this area so that we can help our kids discover their identity in Christ. You will love this conversation! With love,Steph Thurling  Connect With Terra:Social Media:@terramattsonWebsite:www.terramattson.comLinks mentioned:Courageous BookHelping Moms Raise Confident DaughtersYou are Special by Max LucadoOur Sponsors:* Check out HelloFresh: https://www.hellofresh.com/Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Welcome back to another episode of Flourish-Meant! In today's episode, we have a very special guest, Nellie Harden, joining our host Tina Yeager to discuss a topic that is close to every parent's heart: How do we raise confident kids in a changing and unpredictable world? Nellie, a renowned family life and leadership coach, draws from her own experiences as a mother of four teenage daughters and shares valuable insights on instilling values, fostering self-esteem, and navigating the challenges of the second half of childhood. As a former homeschool parent with a background in biology and psychology, Nellie brings a unique perspective on raising children to become fully functional and independent young adults. Join us as we delve into the importance of vulnerability, open communication, and establishing a strong foundation for our children's success in life. Get ready to gain valuable tips and strategies from Nellie Harden on how to raise confident kids in an ever-changing world. Let's dive in! We discuss the challenges parents face in instilling values, appreciation, and confidence in their children, especially during the crucial second half of childhood when they are preparing to become fully functional young adults. Here are 3 key takeaways from the episode: 1️⃣ Establish and reassess family values regularly: Nellie highlights the importance of establishing and regularly reassessing family values to ensure they align with current circumstances and are meaningful to the family. By refreshing these values regularly, parents can guide their children towards success and instill a strong sense of identity and purpose. 2️⃣ Cultivate vulnerability and open communication: Nellie emphasizes the power of vulnerability within the family unit. By creating an environment where everyone feels seen, heard, and loved, parents can build trust and help their children navigate the challenges of our rapidly changing world. Open and vulnerable discussions without interruption or sarcasm allow for genuine connection and growth. 3️⃣ Build self-worth and confidence: Developing a strong sense of self-worth and self-esteem in children is crucial for raising confident kids. Nellie shares practical strategies, such as the Holt system, which helps teens discover their values and make decisions aligned with their desired identity. By acknowledging and supporting their children's worth and confidence, parents can set them up for success in life. I am incredibly grateful to Nellie for sharing her wisdom and insights with us on Flourish-Meant.

Today I had the pleasure of having Zane on the podcast again. In this episode we talk about dark energies that are floating around and may be affecting us. We talk about how to clear these energies to make room for more love and fulfillment in our lives. Zane is a Certified Clinical and Alchemical Hypnotherapist, Esoteric Life Coach, Consulting Hypnotist, and Somatic Healing Practitioner who has been a student of the healing arts since 2001. He is an esteemed graduate of the Alchemy Institute of Hypnosis, holding accreditations with the National Guild of Hypnotists. He is an avid musician, and a loving husband and father, currently practicing trancework remotely and in-person from the beautiful wine country of northern California.Dark energies are entities that attach to your body and your aura. These are energies that have died and passed on but choose to latch onto your aura. You may notice that you have anger, sadness, or dark feelings inside that you can't describe or be clearly aware of.  This could be a sign that there is a dark energy inside that needs to be worked on and released. Healing is modality that will allow us to we can release and move through this. We have the ability to connect with these entities to understand where they came from, and to create awareness of how it may be appearing in our body and in our aura. We can learn to work with these energies to become free for the chains that hold us back from living the life we desire.We have sources light in us and these entities are not connected to the source. These entities feed off fear. When we have knowledge and awareness of these energies in our body, it gives us so much power. This power allows us to create the strength to clear ourselves from the things inside that may be dimming our light.Learn more about Zane and his work at www.zanewheeler.com

How our children see themselves, is heavily influenced by how we see ourselves. Our confidence (or lack thereof) is contagious! And for our children to thrive and continue to walk in their calling and purpose, they're going to need a certain level of confidence.  We've all experienced it, right?  How we feel about ourselves has a huge impact on: how we behave, how we think, the risks we're willing to take, the relationships we have, the careers we pursue, and so many other facets of our lives. In today's episode, I explain why we need to be intentional about the labels we're speaking over kids. I also coach on how important it is that we're doing our own inner work (and where to start), because the insecurities and hang-ups we carry are having an impact on our children.

This conversation explores the fatherhood experiences of Roger Dundas and Matt Prestbury. Roger Dundas is the Managing Director at Konvo Media and the Publisher/Co-Founder of ByBlacks.com. Matt Prestbury is the Founder of The Black Fathers Foundation. From hearing about foundational childhood experiences that formed their perspective on fatherhood to the importance of structure and discipline to be at your best, this conversation is packed with insightful stories, humour and wisdom. Both Roger and Matt experienced family separation and estranged relationships with their own fathers growing up, which impacted them in different ways. They talk about the challenge of living without their father's positive influence, what it meant, and how they have grown as men and dads as a result. They stress the importance of having a fatherly influence at important decision-making points in life as a young man. Matt and Roger restored the relationship with their fathers as adults and talk about the difference that makes for them now. As the conversation continues, they offer best practices and tools to help dads become better people first, and better dads as a result. They talk about helping children with their mental and emotional health, listening to your children, and giving them well-rounded experiences to help them grow into confident and successful people. A common fear they share about becoming a dad was wondering, “Am I going to do a good job?” and “Am I going to screw my kids up/have I screwed my kids up?”. Working through those fears and self-doubts has helped them become better dads and men. The conversation also brings up the importance of having community for support as a man and parent. They also discuss balance, the challenges of being a black dad, the importance of having deep and meaningful conversations with your kids, and having humility and patience as a dad. The conversation ends with two powerful messages for Black Fathers: Matt says: “Enjoy every minute of it and think about the role of being a father-figure, and how you represent yourself. We are not who the world may say we are! Be a living example of the best of black fatherhood!” Roger says: “You have to take care of yourself first! You have to work on being a better person first – body, mind and soul! Think positive thoughts and hang around positive people. “ Conversation Takeaways: Father-ly advice is important at decision making points in a child's life Becoming a better person helps you be a better dad Surrounding yourself and your children with the right people makes a big difference Conversation Highlights: 01:25   Introductions 04:24   Early childhood experiences with their fathers 12:17   Dealing with losing the relationship with their father  21:06   Fears about becoming a dad and how you start to look at life differently 26:01   Matt being a young dad and “winging it” 31:00   Helping children and supporting their mental and emotional well-being 34:10   Roger – importance of well-rounded experiences for children 36:00   Balancing it all 45:55   Experiences that have helped them become better dads 49:55   Having real conversations that men need to have 52:20   Essential skills needed for being a dad 57:15   Importance of having humility as a dad, and showing respect to your children 1:03:17 Special message for black fathers About Roger Dundas Roger is the publisher and co-founder of Byblacks.com – Canada's top ranked online magazine that focuses on black Canadian news and information. Roger is also a partner and managing director of a top national Public Relations firm Konvo Media. Roger is passionate about parenting and completed The Father Project: an online photo series that highlights black Canadian men talking about how their relationship with their father affects how they parent. He's shared his views about fatherhood and masculinity through appearances on CBC Metro Morning, National Post, The Dr. Vibe Show, CTV Your Morning, NewsTalk 1010 radio, G98.7FM and The Good Men Project.

He is a husband and father who has worked tirelessly over the past two decades to not only provide what his family needs, but also to provide spaces and places for other black men to get the resources and know-how needed to do the same. Matt continuously works to help black men get access to the organizations, information and funding that they need to support and sustain their families to the best of their abilities.  Much of his work is centered around showing the world the truths about fathers and  fatherhood in order to combat widely held stereotypes and myths through social media, apparel, music, books and speaking engagements. Matt's mission is to show the world how involved fathers truly are while continuing to spread the message to fathers about the importance of being present in the lives of their children.

Join us on Patreon to unlock a NEW episode every week for just $5/month!   #15: Raising Confident Kids (Raising Ourselves, Too)   This episode originally aired on October 12, 2020. Raising confident kids can be inconvenient, uncomfortable, and challenging--but it's so worth it! And we can't talk about raising confident kids without talking about raising ourselves, too. This important work is woven into what we do every day through listening to and trusting our kids, modeling how we show up in the world, and advocating for ourselves and setting boundaries. Watch your homeschool learning atmosphere come alive and your relationships blossom as you and your children embrace and express yourselves more fully TOGETHER. Takeaways -What our kids say and think matters-- they know themselves and what they need MORE than we do. -Listening to our kids and valuing what they say will help them learn their voice is important. -As homeschool parents, we make lots of plans, but listening to our kids when they tell us something isn't working and changing our plans sends a strong message that our kids can listen, value, and trust themselves. -What do they want to learn? How do they want to learn? -We want them to be able to advocate for themselves as adults, so we have to know it starts at home, it starts with us.     It's all happening on Patreon!

Raising confident kids comes from being a confident mom!  Whatever choices you are making as a mom there is always a different choice that could be made, and that means there is always the opportunity to have a thought of doubt.  That doubt can plan those seeds that bloom into thoughts of being a good enough mom and fuels the fire for negative self talk to take off.   Your self talk directly impacts your kids.  If you want to raise happy, confident kids, then it is time to discover your own self talk so you can repattern those thoughts and create happiness for yourself from the inside out!     Ready to really hear your self talk and repattern the thoughts that keep you in the energy of the past?!  Book a vision call with Liz! She will walk you through step by step on the "how to" steps so that you can become the aligned mama you have always desired to be! 

All children need to learn how to deal with adversity, but having self-worth and confidence are necessary skills that will help youth thrive into adulthood. This episode is a conversation about how to raise confident kids. Something to Explore: Here are a few interesting facts to explore with your child. Today we will discuss the confidence and leadership of Nelson Mandela, his leadership style was respected around the world. He brought unity to his nation, dismantled apartheid, and served his community selflessly. However, he was not perfect, his first two marriages failed. He struggled to balance being a family man and community leadership. Although he was in prison for 27 years, he never stopped learning and he didn't let the oppression of apartheid government get the best of him. He forgave the government and went on to become one of South Africa's most respected presidents. He believed in listening to the people he served. Two traits that made him stand out in the political world is that he was honest, respected the power he had been bestowed, he was a patient listener and decisive. What are some other traits about Nelson Mandela that make him a great leader?

Confident kids…we all want them! And we can learn a lot from chickens. (Didn't see that one coming, did you?) Mommy birds don't assist their little ones in the hatching process. While they keep them warm and safe, they let their little ones struggle a bit on their own to ensure they have the skills they need when it's time to leave the nest. I've become very selective about helping my kids with things they can do for themselves. I know when they are perfectly capable of doing something, even if they lack confidence in their own abilities. Knowing we believe in them is a powerful first step in our kids learning to believe in themselves.

How do we raise kids to be confident and competent adults? There are many parenting strategies out there and no parent is without fault. What things do you do as a parent or role model in a child's life to encourage them and give them confidence? These are just a couple questions the guys at 2 Dads, 1 Mind share some insight on. It's difficult to not be a helicopter parent that hovers and wants to protect our our children, or show the the right way the first time. However, it's so important we let our kids fail sometimes to teach them to learn from mistakes and be confident even when something is challenging.  As adults we have to show kids we have obstacles to overcome and find a healthy balance of being a commander and a coach in different phases. From birth to 7 years old many studies show and suggest what they learn during this time can and will last them their lifetime. What are you teaching your kids? Love and protect your kids, but also give them room to grow and explore doing things that may challenge them. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/2dads1mind/support

“I have this problem with low self-esteem, which is really ridiculous when you consider how amazing I am.” ~ the modern child Raising confident children is the obsession of many parents today. Cries of “Good job!” “You can do it!” “You are awesome!” can be heard in playgrounds, sporting events, and auditoriums all over the country. Is this really how we should ground our children and help them to be the best they can be? The key to self-esteem is not what you do, but who you are. Who are you? You are a child of God, created in His image. Listen in as we delve into this topic and explore how we can communicate to our children a true confidence based on reality. Some questions to start a discussion: What activities can I do to help give my child confidence? How do I build my teen's identity as a child of God? Where does my own identity come from? In my accomplishments or in who I am?
