60. 60: How We Failed As New Parents with Steph and Alex.
26:16||Season 2, Ep. 60Today, we're pulling back the curtain on our parenting - and letās just say, it wasnāt all sunshine and Instagram-worthy moments. This is a bunch of things we wish we knew when we first became parents...With Alex's childhood blueprint and programming the *polar opposite* of mine, we had a lot to unlearn (and re-learn) when it came to navigating the chaos of parenthood together. We talk about: - How giving each other space saved us from spiralling arguments. - Why you should never take your kidsā words, or your partnerās emotions, personally. - Alexās journey to taking accountability and breaking the cycle of reactive behaviour. - My struggle to ask for help and express my feelings (spoiler: it wasnāt pretty). - The power of understanding emotional hijacks and knowing when to step out of the situation- How to āstrike when the iron is cold.ā to prevent shame, blame and basically more conflict.Weāll also explore how his upbringing (where emotions basically didn't exist) impacted our dynamic and how weāve worked to defuse problems before they explode into snapping and snowballing. Itās real, raw, and maybe even a little uncomfortableābut if youāve ever felt like youāre failing as a parent or partner, trust us, youāre not alone. Tune in for honest lessons, practical tips, and a whole lot of heart.Hope you guys enjoy.(Please ask us questions! Send us your feedback!

59. 59: How to Get The Happier, Calmer and Connected Family You Want With Emotional Intelligence
36:40||Season 2, Ep. 59Today Iām sharing an episode where I was the guest ā being interviewed by JoAnn Crohn and Brie Tucker on the No Guilt Mom podcast.Ā So, youāve decided you want a happier, calmer, and more connected family, eh? Well, friend, welcome to the rollercoaster ride known as āparenting with emotional intelligence.āĀ Parenting often involves navigating different styles, which, being 100% honest, can sometimes feel like you and your partner are in a three-legged raceā¦on ice.Ā Ā Emotional intelligence helps you understand each otherās perspectives and find common ground. Just imagine your kid having the ability to understand and manage their emotions while empathizing with others. Sounds like a dream, right?Ā Ā By nurturing emotional intelligence, youāre not just preparing them for playground politics but equipping them for lifeās bigger challenges. Plus, who wouldnāt want a kid who can articulate their feelings instead of falling apart or throwing things in fits of anger?Ā So, if youāre dreaming of a happier, calmer, and more connected family, emotional intelligence is your secret weapon. Trust me, the journey might be bumpy, but the destination is oh-so-worth it. Ā Who knows, you might even become that zen parent who handles those spaghetti-throwing incidents with a smile. Now, thatās emotional intelligence at work!Ā Podcast: https://www.noguiltmom.com/podcast-2/Transcript: https://www.noguiltmom.com/how-to-get-the-happier-calmer-and-connected-family/YT: https://www.youtube.com/c/NoGuiltMom58. 58: Anxiety and Emotional Intelligence: From Overthinking to Overcoming.

We know the internet isnāt going anywhere, so instead of banning it all, we talk about finding that balance between letting our kids enjoy the digital world and keeping them safe.We did make the decision to remove YouTube from our home, and we share why we chose to do it. But our kids do have access to computer games, Minecraft, Roblox, and so on.Alex - whoās a big-time gamer - talks about setting smart boundaries for our kids on things like YouTube Kids and online games. His perspective as a gamer really adds a fresh angle, and heās seriously got some solid tips.Oh, and there's a wild story from Alex about how our son decided to jump off the roof (yes, you read that right!). It was a reminder of why staying aware and tuned in is so important, no matter what your kids are up to.We also tackle the tougher topic of online dangers, like predators, and how to talk to kids about staying safe. You absolutely NEED to give your kids the knowledge, without scaring them.Tune in for our take on raising tech-savvy kids safelyāwithout saying ānoā to everything fun.***If this resonates with you, I'd love to hear from you.
