Are you having a tough time talking to your older teen or young adult?  If they are living at home with you, how do you deal with setting rules for them?  Do you find yourself constantly biting your tongue, or are you in constant conflict with them?  There comes a point when your kid starts growing up, and you need to realize they're their own person now. It's like, “Holy crickets! They're in charge of their own life, now!”  For parents, this shift to a new kind of relationship with their adult child can be pretty tricky. That's why my guest this week is Parent Coach, Kim Muench. She's the Founder of Real Life Parent Guide.  Kim is a Certified Conscious Parenting Coach with the Jai Institute for Parenting, and specializes in working with parents of emerging adults (ages 18-29). In this conversation we talk about setting healthy boundaries as the relationship with your child shifts under your feet. Kim has some solid ideas about how to open up the lines of communication and reconnect with your child.  Hint: Much of the work starts with us, the parents.     **This is Kim's second time on the podcast.  In our first conversation (Episode 117) we talked about her own challenges as a parent which led her to become a parenting coach.  In 2008, her oldest son called her from across the country to say he was in trouble… he was failing classes, about to lose his job, and his use of alcohol was totally out of control.

I truly believe that being a parent these days, especially being a great parent, has never been more difficult, largely because of smartphones in our teenagers hand. They are being influenced by people on social media. They're being cyber bullied. They're comparing their life to others. It's been well documented that teenage depression is at an all time high. To talk about that today, Kim Muench, a Real Life Parent Guide.

December 20, 2022 ~ Kim Muench, Certified Parenting Coach & Founder of the Real Life Parent Guide tells Chris & Sean some Gen Z's are refusing to teach their kids about Santa Claus because they claim it's traumatizing.

Our guest today, Kim Muench wrote a book titled "Becoming Me While Raising You-A Mother's Journey to Herself" Which exactly describes my relationship with my 2 teenage daughters at the moment. I have wanted to be the perfect mother for my daughters, I mean, that's how I roll. But, you know...its frustrating when you do so much and, yet the struggles still exist. Kim notes that moms are the emotional barometer for their families. Sometimes it becomes evident that the stress and anxiety moms put into being "perfect" is the very thing that creates the same stress/anxiety in our personal relationships. Our conversation with Kim today speaks into the journey that moms are on and the lessons we learn as we mature as parents and as women. The more I have conversations with our guests, the more I realize the ongoing work I need to do on MYSELF and how THAT (in itself) will transform my relationships with those I love the most. I need to stop being what I think other people want me to be and just BE ME. And, while I thought I knew who that was, I'm realizing more and more that I'm still figuring it out! Today Kim helps us unpack our own limiting beliefs about ourselves so we can live more authentically. A limiting belief I have is that I have to be perfect to be loved. And honey...perfect doesn't exist. In this episode, we discuss: Acknowledging where we fail as parents, and reminding ourselves not to get stuck in the space where we blame ourselves for our children's behaviors and choices. Staying in that space is not productive. Past trauma (big T or little t) can impact our current behavior tremendously and become our limiting beliefs such as "I don't matter" or "I don't have a voice" The definitions of helping vs. enabling. Helping is giving assistance to someone when they can't do it for themselves. Enabling is doing something for someone else that they can/should do for themselves and then a resentment is formed. Our children come through us and not for us, except for the lessons they reflect to us during their journey in an effort to grow us up along the way. The 4 essential questions to uncover limiting beliefs and shift them into beliefs that better serve your relationship to yourself and to those you love the most. What do I believe about myself? Where did that thought/belief come from? Is it true? If it's not true, what is? Kim's book (published in 2021, Becoming Me While Raising You) was written on the six limiting beliefs she took on in her childhood that played out over and over again in her marriage and parenting until she discovered the 4 critical questions and peeled back the layers of truth to reveal new, healthier beliefs that she now practices everyday. We know you have your own limiting beliefs. We want to hear from you...Leave us a review or join our FB Community and let us know one of YOUR limiting beliefs!

Today I'm interviewing Kim Muench, a certified parenting coach and the founder of the Real Life Parent Guide, and the author of the recent book, Becoming Me While Raising You: A Mother's Journey to Her Self.In May 2008, Kim Muench received a call from the eldest of her five children, twenty-year-old son Nick, who confessed that his life was being destroyed by alcohol abuse. During his spiral through the darkness, Kim worked with her son to help him find long-term sobriety. But she knew that he was not the only person who needed to change. So, while she partnered with her family in her son's recovery, she also began to make her own physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual well-being a priority. Knowing parenthood was her greatest role, Kim sought to uncover the limiting beliefs she had developed in childhood that were infecting the relationships she'd built with those she loved the most. Kim made a conscious choice to parent in a different light.Kim's amazing story will challenge and inspire you.We discuss how our childhoods impact the way we parent our own kids.How we formed core beliefs that limit us and our kids.How hard it is to watch our kids struggle and not enable them. And the growth that can come from their struggle.The importance of connecting with ourselves and our own inner wisdom.And so much more good stuff!!Kim's book: Becoming Me While Raising You: A Mother's Journey To Her Self - https://amzn.to/3sYyLsNKim's Website: https://reallifeparentguide.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kimmuench.reallifeparentguideInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimmuenchreallifeparentguide/

The United States has a population of 328 million and 74 Million of those people are under the age of 18. Did you know that our US Census shows that 1 of every 10 persons in the United States under the age of 18 lives in Texas? So as parents, we are not alone - but sometimes it feels like it. Social Media shows us all of the other parents are doing a “perfect” job of parenting! We see their posts about their kids and all their accomplishments - meanwhile at my house we are struggling over homework and chores, and as a parent you may feel like you are just not measuring up. Does any of this sound familiar?

  "Our children come through us, not for us, but for the lessons they reflect to us, during their journey, in an effort to grow us up along the way."  When we were young we were told that children should be seen and not heard. Now - as parents ourselves, we are told that our children's needs are paramount. Somewhere along the line we have missed out! 

We are often told to trust our gut, our intuition. But how can we trust it (or even hear it) if we have not yet discovered who we truly are ourselves? Through having years of putting other's needs first, and not having a voice, many of us struggle to follow our own instincts; and yet Kim and I are in agreement that it is on our instinct that we must rely as parents - because we know our family's needs the best. In this episode Kim and I explore the importance of hearing that inner voice and sometimes, relinquishing control. As parents, it's scary to drop the reins - but by allowing our children to lead the way in their own lives, we set ourselves up for more connection and less confrontation. Whilst listening to our own heart we must teach our children to do the same; and with that comes the likelihood of things not always going according to plan - and that's totally OK! ~~~~~
