Bonus (Group Coaching Call): The Power of Mindset When Big Kids Meltdown

Hey, my dears! We are going to do something a little bit different for today's episode. I'm going to let you listen in on one of the group coaching calls that I had recently in my membership, Balancing U.

You may have been following along with the Reactivity to Responsiveness Challenge and if you have, then you know that I have decided to move all of my courses and programs into my membership. And starting next week on October 10, we're going to be doing my program Parenting from Within as a part of the membership, which means you get to have my biggest program for the monthly right of Balancing U. 

So, I wanted to give you a taste of what it's like to be in a group coaching program with me, and what it's like to hop into a Zoom room and get to discuss the ins and outs of being a conscious parent in this conversation. 

And in this episode, we were:

  • digging into releasing old mindsets that kind of keep us trapped in punitive parenting

  • understanding the desire to teach a lesson and give a consequence

The folks that are with me in the room have been dedicating themselves to nonpunitive parenting for well over a year and this work is ongoing for all of us. 

So, I'd love to have you listening to this conversation about really firmly keeping that mindset shift in place. I hope that it helps you and I hope it gives you a little bit of a taste so you can see if Balancing U is right for you. We'd love to have anybody in there who is wanting to make these changes in their lives and wants to contribute to a loving and compassionate community. 

If you think it might be right for you, feel free to reach out to me and check it out. If you're considering Parenting from Within, we'd love to have you do the program with us as we run it live in the membership in October and November this fall. You can check all of that out at www.laurafroyen.com/pfw to learn more about Parenting from Within and everything that's inside of it. 

If you just want to check out the membership in general, you think it's time to get some on-the-ground support, weekly space for you to ask questions, and a chance to be on the podcast and get coached by me for free, you can check that out at laurafroyen.com/membership.

Here are the resources mentioned in the call that I think might benefit you as well.
