I AM MOM Parenting Podcast

The intention of our podcast is to help you feel calmer and more in control of your family environment. The words that you choose in your everyday language can have a great impact on that. We often take our words for granted, but the words that come out of our mouths at any given time can affect our reality, our identity and our mental, emotional and physical health right down to the cellular level. Our words also have an affect on our children, ...their inner voice, who they become, how they behave and how they respond to the world. In this episode, we provide some examples of how to reframe common phrases used in parenting. We also touch upon how words can affect a child’s brain development and cellular health and provide you with the science that backs this up.

In light of the recent tragic incidents that have occurred in Canada, our kids of all ages are asking questions about hate crimes and racism. Why is this happening in Canada? What do we need to know? What kind of conversations are age-appropriate? How do we prepare our kids in a society where systemic racism is being more illuminated? In this episode, we discuss strategies and mindset shifts necessary to equip ourselves with having this important discussion with our kids of all ages.

This episode is for you if you have ever wondered why a child would need a life coach or what skills they would develop by working with a coach? In this episode, we take a deep dive into life coaching for kids and the powerful life skills that can be learned by having a coach. We also share direct ways that can enable you to become your child’s own life coach.
