Parent Power Hub: Cultivate Emotional Intelligent Kids.

HOW TO CONSISTENTLY PLAY YOUR A GAME?

Whatever role we are in - CEO, business manger, teacher, parent - we want to be effective and be the best we possibly can. One of the best ways of doing this is knowing more about yourself. There may be aspects of your leadership that you don’t even realise are impacting other areas.

When I first completed my Emotional Intelligence report, I had no idea that there were other areas that were having such a detrimental impact on me and my life. But when I was able to dig deeper, really pick it apart lovingly rather than in judgement, it made so much sense. It really feels like I understand myself more and have leant how my shadows were leading me. Now I feel like I have the power back. I am more in control of how I emotionally respond, how I manage my life and know what to do if something feels off! This has supported me in so many areas of my life, not only professionally but also with my family and how I parent my children. Total game changer.

If you are interested in completing your own Emotional Intelligence report and look at what might be getting in the way of that promotion, relationship or happiness, DM me the word YES!

Let’s open the doors of what’s possible.

IS IT TIME TO LET GO?

An incredible testimonial from one of my clients who uses the phrase ‘gleaming nuggets of wisdom’. This amazing mum did everything she could for her children but hasn’t realised that for there to be a change, she had to work on her first. This is when the tables started to turn. She is now seeing and responding to situations so differently than she used to, and this is just the very beginning! The choice was hers and she grabbing it with both hands! What a lady! What a parent? She wants to leave the best possible legacy for her children. Now that is an amazing gift.

Stop comparing, and start thriving!

Parenting is a beautiful, challenging, and deeply personal journey. Yet, in today’s social media-driven world, it’s easy to fall into the trap of comparing ourselves to other parents. This comparison game often steals the joy out of our parenting experience. Here’s why we need to break free from it:

1. Unrealistic Standards: Social media highlights the best moments of others’ lives. When we compare our daily challenges to these orchestrated snapshots, we set ourselves up for disappointment and unnecessary self-criticism. Remember, what you see online is just a highlight reel, not the full experience.
2. Unique Journeys: Every child is different, and so is every parent. What works for one family may not work for another. Embrace the uniqueness of your own parenting style and the individuality of your child. Trust in your instincts and the path you’re creating together.
3. Lost Joy: Constant comparison shifts our focus from the joys of parenting to a state of perpetual inadequacy. By always measuring ourselves against others, we miss out on appreciating the precious moments with our children. Celebrate the small victories and cherish the laughter and love.
4. Mental Health: Comparing yourself to others can lead to stress, anxiety, and even depression. It’s essential to recognize when these feelings arise and to take steps to protect your mental well-being. Seek support from friends, family, or a professional if needed.
5. Self-Compassion: Be kind to yourself. Parenting is one of the hardest jobs in the world, and you’re doing your best. Give yourself grace and recognize that perfection is an illusion. Your love and effort are what truly matter.

Let’s stop letting comparison steal the joy out of our parenting journey. Embrace your unique path, love your children wholeheartedly, and trust in your ability to nurture and guide them. You are enough. ❤️

When life throws you a curve ball, what do you do? Do you crack or do you bend with the wind?

The incredible Bruce Lee once said:

‘Notice that the stiffest tree is most easily cracked, while the bamboo or willow survives by bending with the wind.’

This got me thinking, how do we deal with different situations:

Do you bend or crack?

If your car broke down in the middle of the motorway, would you know how to fix it?

Before I did my EQi 2.0 report, I felt like was standing on the side of the motorway, with the car bonnet open, staring at it with no clue what to do! The report completely changed that! Now I can change the oil, know what all the parts are and how to fix them if the go wrong (metaphorically speaking obviously!)

To show you how this work, look at the report attached. This person was so unhappy in their life. They worked all the hours of the day, just so they could provide for their family. But it never felt good enough and they didn't feel seen. Sure they were making the money, but they woke up every morning with this overhanging feeling of dread. The relationship with their partner was hanging on by a thread and was getting tighter every day. They couldn't talk to each other, and when they did it just ended up in a blazing row. They were petrified that the person they loved was going to get fed up and leave, which then made them feel like they were treading on egg shells every day.

So what has the change been since competing the report? Well, they are now happier than they have even been before, their marriage is stronger than ever and as a couple they communicate and love each other well, and they are thriving in workplace, which is having such a positive affect on their family life!

Such an incredible transformation as this person was looking to really look at what was getting in the way. When we are aware, then we can do something about it!

If you are interesting in doing your own EQi 2.0 report, DM or write the word yes in the comment box and I will get in touch to let you know more.

This really is the game changer!

A lot of people ask what is anxiety? Well, anxiety can present itself in many different ways. The list in this post is just a few. The key thing to remember is, if it is taking over your life, stopping you from doing something you love or becoming a barrier in your life, then it is time to do something about it.

What about if you have children? Does it really affect them? Well, if you imagine that your child mirrors your behaviour. What are they seeing? What are they learning? The chances of them becoming anxious are greater.

We only have 1 life. So live it! And if anxiety is stopping you from doing that, then get in touch. There are strategies that can support you and put you back on the right path.

DM me if you would like to find out more.

What a transformation!

2 years ago there is no way he would have been able to cope with today. But we had talked about it and gone through each scenario. He went into school today with a smile on his face and feeling confident. I had thought about him all day! Was he ok? Had he managed to do it without getting upset? So many questions were going through my mind.

When I picked him up, he was smiling, happy and didn’t know what all the fuss was about! (He does not like needles so a few years back this would have freaked him right out!)

We drove a little while and he said, I’m actually really proud of myself mum, I’ve conquered another fear. When I asked him what the difference was, the response made me well up! Watch till the end to find out!

This is what coaching has done for me. If you are interested in finding out more, write the word ‘yes’ in the comments and I will give you more information!
