TPJ 67: The Power Of Words

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/06/01

Many people have been struggling with feelings of powerlessness and negativity. But what if I told you that you possess the ability to empower yourself and create positivity in your life? That’s exactly what I’ll be discussing in this episode. [03:50] Our thoughts and words are powerful. [06:48] Culture has "watered down" certain words and concepts. [10:54] When we use exaggerated words, it sets us up for failure. [13:28] It's making us fragile. [18:41] Let's disempower our negative experiences

Hi, Fam! ·

We all want to be better communicators, right? I know I do. Like most things in life, improving our communication is a process and it takes intentional work to help us break old habits and create new ones. Join me as I discuss some specific toxic patterns that we all need to break and what we can do instead. [04:13] Communication skills are so important to be a healthy adult. [06:14] We often fall into old habits and patterns. To change that we have to work on learning new skills and break the old

TPJ 65: The Choice Is Yours

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/05/18

There’s a mindset that keeps parents stuck and suffering, and really holds us back. We have a lot more control in our lives than we sometimes believe, and it can take some gentle nudging (or tough love, for some of us) to help us see things for what they are. Changing our mindset in this one area can make a big difference in our lives and empower us as parents and leaders of our family. [04:20] We often CAN do the things we say we can't do...we've really just chosen NOT to do them. [09:29] Saying

TPJ 64: The Question You Should Be Asking Yourself...

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/05/11

Because sending kids to school is often the “default option”, I’m often asked “Why do you homeschool?” I think it’s time to start reversing that question and ask “why are you sending your kids to school?” When you really think about what your school provides (or doesn’t provide), homeschooling may begin to look much more appealing and not as out-of-reach as you once thought. Let’s discuss. [05:19] Why do I homeschool? [08:00] Schools are a service, and we can decide if that service is right for

Hi, Fam! ·

Even without a global pandemic, life can be hard. Bad things happen and we all experience difficulties and challenges. It’s easy to feel sorry for ourselves and go through life as a victim. But I’m here to tell you that there’s so much more waiting for you on the other side of victimhood, and you can decide to leave it behind. Let’s discuss how. [04:07] Society pressures us to sacrifice everything on the altar of parenthood. [05:36] Feeling your feelings is step 1, and victims get stuck here

Hi, Fam! ·

I get messages from parents all over the world (hundreds a day) asking how they can get their kids to play independently. I hear things like: My kids won’t play My kids are clingy We live in a small apartment My kids have very different play styles My kids fight with each other I’m a working parent, so it can’t work for me I’m here to tell you that those are just excuses! And to help you see that your kids are capable of independent play, I wanted to share some stories from a few of my “Present

TPJ 61: Don't Bounce Back, Bounce Forward

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/04/13

I know that these times have been tough for many, leaving some in a “survival mode.” But others have found, in spite of the challenges and frustrations, that they’re enjoying certain aspects of their time at home with their family. And it may leave us wondering...do we really want life to go back to the way it was before? Or is it time to make some changes to the way we live our lives? Let’s discuss. [03:19] Let's choose to find the good in a bad situation. [05:40] Amidst the hardship and trials,

TPJ 60: Expectations = Resources

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/04/06

At times in life (and for many, the present time), we’ll face challenges and changes in our resources. To stay sane (or sometimes just survive), it’s necessary to adjust your expectations to what’s realistic given your circumstances. [08:53] We can choose whether or not to be a victim. [10:29] We have to match our level of expectations to the level of our resources. [11:17] When you lose resources, there's a transition period where you may be edgy and frustrated. Give yourself grace! [12:11] If

Renee Jain is back for another episode! With so many parents finding themselves homeschooling, we thought we should offer some practical tips to help parents through this challenging transition and help you (and your kids) stay sane! [02:50] Cut yourself some slack. It's not realistic to think you'll be a homeschooling pro in a couple of weeks. [03:05] Kids go through a "de-schooling" process; expect it to be rocky. [05:41] Be realistic about the amount of time it takes to figure out a flow that

Mindset is so important when it comes to growth, challenges, and the daily "grind." In this episode I want to share a mindset shift that we can use to reframe the work it takes to create great relationships. And it comes from a surprising source...Michelangelo. [03:21] Our shortcomings can leave us feeling broken, overwhelmed, and frustrated. [05:55] Sometimes we look to others to model what we should do, and over-work ourselves trying to fit someone else's mold. [10:27] Move toward a model that

TPJ 50: Do You Want Your Parent’s Marriage?

Hi, Fam! ·

2020/01/13

We’ve all inherited a blueprint for relationships from our parents, whether we’ve acknowledged it or not. And unless we examine it further, we’re destined to have the same relationship as our parents. Some of us may have been blessed with a great model for how to properly treat others, communicate, and resolve conflicts. But many were not so blessed, and even if you were, there are likely things about your parent’s relationship that you would do differently. In this episode we’re going to discuss
