2025/08/25

I woke up this morning to the most incredible thunderstorm (which got me up way too early, thanks Mother Nature), and instead of being grumpy about it, I had this wild thought: "What if I just recorded that podcast episode I've been marinating on?" Today we're diving into a concept that literally changed my life which is... --> It doesn't get any better than this <-- I know, I know. Your brain is probably doing that thing where it's like "EXCUSE ME, ANDEE HAVE YOU SEEN MY ...

Picture this: You've just had the most beautiful vision for your afternoon. Snacks are prepped, your nervous system is regulated, and you're ready to welcome your kids home with the kind of calm connection that makes parenting books weep with joy. Then reality shows up. Your 5-year-old melts down about the "wrong" crackers, your teenager rolls their eyes so hard they practically fall out, and suddenly you're yelling about homework like you're auditioning for a reality show you never wanted to...

2025/08/19

I'm three days away from a family vacation, and my house looks like it got into a fight with a tornado... and lost. There are Amazon boxes everywhere (because apparently we ALL forgot "essential" items), laundry covering every surface, and yesterday? Our dog got skunked. Because OF COURSE. But here's the kicker, my kids are walking around like it's totally normal. My youngest's friend came over, I apologized for the mess, and she goes, "Oh, this reminds me of my bedroom!" I nearly died inside...

Ever find yourself lying in bed at night, replaying every parenting moment that went sideways that day? Yeah, me too. For years, I would literally drown in a sea of regret, beating myself up for every time I lost my cool, lectured instead of listened, or just plain missed the mark with my kids. But here's what I've learned: regret can either be your biggest parenting enemy or your secret weapon. The difference? How you use it. What We're Diving Into Today 🌟 The two faces of...

Ever catch yourself doing mental gymnastics trying to figure out what the other playground parents think of your snack choices?

Today we're diving into something that literally changed my entire parenting game: learning the fine art of minding your own business. And trust me, it's way more revolutionary than it sounds.

2025/08/07

This episode is all about a pretty darn useful parenting tool I ever made, a 3x5 index card I kept in my back pocket. Not figuratively. Literally. It had my plan on it. My plan for when things went sideways. For when I was about to yell. For when I wanted to give up or threaten or bribe or storm off. I call it the Get Ready for Anything Plan. In this episode, I walk you through how to make one. I’ll show you how to prep for the hardest moments in your parenting life before t...

2025/08/05

The mom in Target who judged me for my kids' meltdowns did me a favor. She showed me how toxic judgment was destroying my parenting. A few years later when a wise human shared this thought with me, I knew it was a keeper, "No one is worthy of my judgment, and everyone is worthy of my love." In this episode, I'm diving deep into Chapter 3 of my book, "Nothing Has Gone Wrong Here," and sharing the judgment detox that saved my sanity (and my relationship with my kids).

2025/08/01

I’m diving deep into one of the biggest mindset shifts I’ve ever made as a parent: learning to accept my child’s behavior without condoning it. We’re unpacking Chapter 2 of my book—Control the Controllables—but I’m not just reading it. I’m bringing in fresh reflections, personal stories, and real-life coaching conversations to help you reclaim your peace, even when your child’s behavior feels completely out of your hands. You’ll hear how I used to believe controlling my kids was m...

2025/07/29

I used to have a black belt in consequence-giving. 🥋 My kids wouldn't clean their room? BOOM - grounded. Talking back? KAPOW - no screens for a week. Fighting with siblings? BAM - straight to timeout. I was "winning" every single battle. My kids were complying (sort of). The house was (temporarily) peaceful. So why did I feel like I was losing something way bigger? Today's episode is my confession booth moment. I'm pulling back the curtain on how I went ...

Have you ever caught yourself waiting? Waiting to feel confident. Waiting for your kids to behave so you can feel calm. Waiting for the house to be clean so you can feel peace. I see you. I've been there, lying in bed, praying tomorrow would be different. That somehow I'd wake up and magically feel like the parent I wanted to be.

Welcome back to Andee Reads Between the Lines—the series where I read my book Connect Method Parenting out loud and pause to riff, reflect, and spill the real-time truths you won’t find on the printed page. In this episode, we're kicking off Part One of the book—and we’re not easing in. We're diving headfirst into the deep end of tradition, behavioralism, and the parenting frameworks we think are helping us... but actually aren't.

Hey hey, friends! It’s Andee, and today’s episode is a little different—think of it like a sneak peek, a love note, and a call to reimagine how you parent—all wrapped into one. After a 5-hour IKEA run...someone please tell me why that place is both magical and exhausting. I decided to release this episode instead of what I had originally planned. I felt a tug to share this 10-minute excerpt from the Listening Lab workshop I taught earlier this week. Why? Because the feedback I got after teach...

Let’s be real for a second… Tantrums are loud. Messy. Embarrassing. And if you’re anything like me, they’ve probably made you question your entire parenting strategy more than once. But what if a meltdown isn’t something to “fix” or “stop”? What if it’s actually your child’s nervous system waving a white flag saying, “This is too much—I need help.” In this episode, I’m breaking down the real reason behind tantrums, emotional outbursts, and “off-...

Hey hey!!! Let’s rip the Band-Aid off: you’re not exhausted because you’re doing it wrong. You’re exhausted because you’ve been sold a lie. A big one. In this episode, we’re going all in on the hidden belief that keeps moms stuck in burnout: 👉 “Once I fix the problem, I’ll finally feel better.” You know the one. “If the house would just stay clean…” “If bedtime didn’t take an hour…” “If my kids would stop fighting…” Then you could finally exhal...

Your kids have selective hearing, right? Like, they can hear a candy wrapper from three rooms away but somehow can't hear "please clean your room" when you're standing RIGHT THERE? Here's the thing nobody's telling you: The reason your kids won't listen has NOTHING to do with your volume, your consequences, or that fancy reward chart you spent 3 hours making on Pinterest.

You know those moments when your kids are going at it—screaming, grabbing, storming off—and you’re standing there thinking, “WHAT is even happening right now?” Been there.

What do you do when the sticker charts work… but they don’t feel right? In today’s episode, I’m inviting you behind the scenes of a real coaching call with a brave, thoughtful CMP parent who’s wrestling with something we all face: the tension between loving connection and firm limits—especially when it comes to bedtime, behavior charts, and consequences that seem to work (but don’t sit well in your gut).
