New webinar/workshop
How to show up as your best parenting self.
Overcoming Overwhelm to make space for Balance.
Wednesday 17th November 2021, 8pm
We'll be looking at how our own life experiences inform the way we show up in the world, particularly how we parent.
This one is for you if:
You often feel overloaded and just can't switch off because of the endless to-do list
Your #mumguilt is a frequent companion and you wish you had more time with your kids
You lose your temper with your children far more than you feel comfortable about
You feel life is flying by and you're dissatisfied with your achievements
You wish you had better relationships (you often feel hurt or disappointed in people)
Confident Parenting for Confident Kids
When you grow up in a family with high expectations, hell, a community with high expectations, it can be hard to ever feel good enough. Unless you're an overachiever, in which case you were the one the rest of us were always trying to measure up to (and let's be honest, your success may well have been driven by a type A personality as a result of being highly self-critical i.e. you didn't really feel good enough either).
In this world of high standards, everyone is expected to excel and the way your excellence is measured is
at a young age through looking presentable and being polite (i.e. being compliant), then
getting fantastic grades at every opportunity and later
going on to have a respectable job and earn lots of money.
Money.
It's a well-favoured indicator of success because it's so easy to measure; how much do you earn, how many square foot is the house you could afford, how many nice cars do you have, how many holidays do you take each year (before Covid sucker-punched that one!)...the list is endless.
And yet, when we're around people that measure our success in this way, it can be easy (particularly at points when we feel more vulnerable in life) to measure ourselves in the same way. Instead of seeing the value we bring each and every day to the people around us, we see ourselves through this one-dimensional measuring system. Don't get me wrong, money and more accurately, financial security, is important but it is by no means the only measure of success.
So if I asked you what the most important things are when it comes to raising your children, money may be a factor. An abundance of money would allow you to provide well for them, to care for them, offer them opportunities in the way of education, culture and much more.
But what else would form your success criteria?
I believe when we strip it back the greatest gift we can give our children are the skills they need to be resilient, confident, expressive human beings. We will be talking about all this and more on Thursday.
I will talk you through the 3 C’s of raising children confidently and purposefully while being cognisant of our own experiences and belief systems.
The webinar offers you an important opportunity to take a step back from the day to day busyness and firefighting that is family life and gives you a chance to look at how to enhance your relationships to find more fun and deep connection with your loved ones.

Parent Pop-in; “How was your day?”
4th March 2021, 4.30pm on Facebook.
Join us in ‘My wellness Zone’ (or join the facebook group above for the link).
After schools open again on 8th March (for those of us in England) we will desperately want to share the experience with our children, but can we find a way without adding to their mental load?
We will be live to explore questioning techniques when connecting with our children and how to support them rather than adding pressure.
Parenting; Passion and Purpose in lieu of Perfection.
The Psychology behind our communication with our children and the messages they hear.
Monday 7th December, 7.45 pm GMT
Join me as we take a look at why bringing passion to the role of parenting and being purposeful with the way we live and interact with our children is so important and how we can let go of the myth that is perfection.
As a part of this we will take a look at Transactional Analysis and how we can communicate with our children (and others!) to achieve desired outcomes in an effective way and from a place of awareness.

The Parent’s Sanity Survival Guide; Through lockdown and beyond.
(POSTPONED from 26th November, 1.00 pm GMT)
Self-care is important for everyone, particularly in the midst of a global pandemic. However, particularly as parents (but also as busy adults who wear many hats) we often prioritise everything else. We know we can’t pour from empty cups but having the time and resources to fill them can be challenging.
The Sanity Survival Guide offers insight into the Wellbeing Pyramid and shares a few ways to make it easier to find ways of looking after our wellbeing. After all, our kids will learn by what we do. Jam packed with helpful suggestions of things you can do for yourself as well as with the family, this is one not to be missed!
This webinar has now been POSTPONED due to the availability of other speakers. Please check back in the new year.
