Real Coaching With Randi

In this episode with podcast listener and SAHM, Heather, we dive into the secret worry most of us can relate to…”Am I screwing this up – are my kids going to struggle because I don’t know what the hell I’m doing?!?”

Heather is a perfect example of an awesome mama that doubts herself and her abilities as a mom. She is a former early childhood teacher as well as a mom that reads parenting books, listens to podcasts and has even taken a parenting class. However, she still often feels at a loss about what to do when her kids are misbehaving.

As you’ll hear, it’s all about mastering her mind to dissolve the limiting belief that “she is not a natural leader”. I think many of you’ll relate to Heather’s honesty and will gain a lot from this coaching session. Enjoy!

Topics covered:

Negative spouses and negative kids
Fix it mode and control
Exhaustion after a long day with littles and feeling responsible as a mom for things not going smoothly…and the need to defend our kids as “normal” to their own dad
