A fundraiser for Flourish Taranaki Community Trust. Come join us.👏😄🫵🌈

From little things, big things grow. I'd
love to have you join us in the Happy Home Habits
Hub, where you can get the support to work on the little
things you can control to grow the big things that will
make all the difference to your life, your kid's lives, and
their kid's lives.

Doors are closing at midnight tonight.

All the info you need is on my website.

Any questions? Just ask.

Can't wait to welcome you.

Is the Happy Home Habits Hub for you?

If it is, come on in! Doors are open. Can't wait to welcome you.

Over the last few days, I've been busy getting The Happy Home Habits Hub all set up, and nice and cozy, and today, I've opened the doors!

I'll be welcoming people on my waitlist into the Hub over the weekend. As a special welcome gift for these early birds, they'll get a free 1:1 half-hour coaching call with me to use any time they need a little extra targeted support.

It's not too late to join the list and receive that free coaching. Just head to the link in my bio.

Not sure if the Happy Home Habits Hub is right for you?

Just ask! I'm not into selling people things they don't need, so if you're on the fence as to whether this will be helpful for you, hit reply to this email. Let me know what you're thinking and why you're hesitating, and I'll let you know if this is a good fit for you. You can check out all the info about it on my website.

I can't wait to hear from you.

What is Empowered Parenting?

Empowered Parenting is "Power With Parenting".

It embodies a core belief that everyone in the family is inherently worthy of sovereignty, dignity, empowerment and respect.

What does that mean?

As loving guides on our kids' journeys, we're excited to discover the unique differences, needs, quirks, talents, and dreams that make them them. We're all in, ready to tailor our approach to these beautiful idiosyncrasies, not fight against them.

And we're more than willing to question those dusty, old-school parenting philosophies that pile expectations and responsibilities on our little ones that don't fit their growing minds and hearts or the world we want to imagine.

Are you up for that?

Our responses, stress levels, choice of words, actions, and our children's behaviour are connected.

Every nervous system is as unique as a snowflake. So it can take a bit of trial and error to find the calming tools that work for you. For some, counting breaths is the ticket, for some, orienting in the here and now by naming things you can see, hear and smell is what brings them back to the green zone. I'd love to hear if you've found the thing or things that works for you. Let me know below.

1️⃣ Your nervous system and your child's nervous system are inextricably linked. If your system is activated in the flight or fight pathway, your child's system will go there, too. Their behaviour will reflect a system that is sensing threat.
2️⃣ . When your stress levels are low, you have more capacity to teach, guide, nurture, and set limits—all of which lead to more consistent positive behaviour. When they are high, you literally have no capacity for these things.
3️⃣ . Your children learn from what you do, not what you say. They'll eventually learn to do the same when they see you managing your stress healthily.

The bottom line: Taking care of yourself is one of the most powerful ways you can support your child in learning positive behaviour skills. It's anything but selfish.
