Power struggles, sibling fighting, constant chaos…solemn nods of solidarity from the parents in the house, right? Kristen feels our collective pain, and as a parent empowerment coach, encouragement consultant, ex-Montessori teacher and director and certified facilitator of Positive Discipline, she’s here to help. While on paper she’s “got it all” as a would-be know-it-all mom, her journey wasn’t always easy transitioning from a teacher to a parent herself. Today on THRIVE, Kristen realistically explains “positive discipline” and breaks down best practices based on the latest in neuroscience and child development (and her on the job training as a mom of three). We also talk about reparenting your own inner child - especially if your upbringing involved a different parenting style than you’re personally implementing today. Kristen helps us focus on your own strengths while figuring this whole mom thing out as you go, with tips on proactively parenting instead of constantly feeling like you’re just reacting to little people with big feelings. ;) Walk away from today’s episode feeling encouraged and empowered as the awesome parent you are!

How do we invest the hours of our days so that we feel truly, deeply satisfied? Award-winning teacher and research and now bestselling author, Dr. Cassie Holmes unpacks exactly that today on THRIVE.

Today on THRIVE, she breaks down the difference being “time poor” versus “time affluent,” shares how to make those essential time-sucking “chore” tasks less of a happiness kill, and explains why having MORE time isn’t always the answer to more happiness. Cassie also gives us a few helpful exercises from her book, like a time tracking exercise to take inventory of your current time management, a Times Left exercise to better appreciate specific moments with loved ones, a Five Senses exercise to tune into the present moment, and a Eulogy exercise to assess the legacy you want to be living and leaving NOW.

My Favorite Advice on Intentional Parenting - with Destini Davis
Wednesday Oct 26, 2022
Wednesday Oct 26, 2022
This episode is a true treat for parents who want to THRIVE. Destini is a certified parenting coach, a social media rockstar, the author of Very Intentional Parenting, and one of my personal FAVORITE people to follow on Instagram. Her advice today is equal parts practical and applicable. We talk about how to build better connections with your kids and challenge the idea of “discipline” as means of teaching instead of punishing. We talk about transitioning from being “the yeller” parent to better regulating your own emotions in tough parenting moments, and we talk about actual scripts to use to get through high emotion, high tension situations like a child hitting or acting out. Destini is all about data collection, so you’ll finish this episode feeling more equipped as a mom (or dad!), and better able to hold boundaries compassionately and parent calmly, learning your kid, what works, and what doesn’t.

Wednesday Feb 09, 2022
Wednesday Feb 09, 2022
Today’s episode with Chloe Ciferri is a really special one. Chloe and her husband Adam have experienced what no parent ever wants to or should have to experience. After unexpectedly contracting a mysterious illness around 20 weeks into pregnancy, Chloe ended up being hospitalized, and they tragically lost their firstborn daughter Adalyn. In healing, they created a nonprofit, the Adalyn Rose Foundation, to support families following loss and provide a space for them to honor and celebrate their babies for years to come. Beyond sharing her own story, Chloe gives specific tips on finding support and community, coping skills to cultivate, as well as tips for helping others like friends or family members who may be experiencing loss of their own. While today’s episode is more sensitive, we encourage you to listen if you’re feeling up for it, as Chloe and her work strive to help you heal - and yes, even thrive - after the most impossible pain, to find hope and happiness once again.
