EP:107 On this week’s episode of Thrive Like a Parent Podcast we are going to talk about the importance of setting boundaries and enforcing natural consequences for children without resorting to anger or resentment.
We must set consistent, firm boundaries and natural consequences, such as chores or writing lines, to teach our children respect and responsibility.
You get to decide what behaviors are and aren't acceptable in your home, and enforce boundaries for unacceptable behaviors. You must claim the driver's seat in your home.
I encourage you to parent the child in front of you, not the child you fear they will become. Don’t let fear hold you back.
If you hold boundaries, if you give them natural consequences, what they are going to do is actually build a stronger relationship, trusting dynamic with you, a greater bond of respect with you. And I guarantee you, they will be happier humans, because you've made a very structured life, and they know what's expected of them. And we're going to continue down that path.
We are their teacher, and it is okay to teach. You got this.
XOXO,
Dr. B

In this week's Thrive Like a Parent podcast, I dive deep into the importance of setting boundaries with kids with caution against doing it in a mean or angry way.
I share my views on ADHD, and argue that the diagnostic system is too focused on labeling people with "disorders" rather than embracing the diversity of human experiences. I also emphasize the need for better education about how the brain functions, as many ADHD symptoms are common experiences that people may think are "normal."
I also discuss the concept of being a "sensory seeker" and how it relates to ADHD-like symptoms, encouraging everyone to embrace their power and brilliance while learning to manage their intense experiences.
Check out this episode to learn more about this thought-provoking perspective!

On this week's episode of the Thrive Like a Parent podcast, I dive into the challenges and rewards of raising strong-willed children, especially when it comes to their sensory and emotional regulation.Storing willed kiddos often struggle with societal expectations, like sitting still or staying organized, because theyâre trying to navigate their own unique needs.
I want to reassure you that while raising strong-willed children can be exhausting and sometimes overwhelming, itâs so important to trust your parenting instincts. Understanding the root of their behaviorâwhether itâs driven by sensory needs or emotional intensityâcan make a big difference in guiding them effectively. I promise you can support your strong-willed child while still maintaining your own sanity.
I keep it real, the tough moments and the frustration that can come with them is 10000% there. But I also want to offer you hope and encouragement, reminding you that these traits often point to brilliance and resilience in your child. The key is finding the right balance between supporting their development and creating a harmonious household where everyone thrives.

EP:103 In this weekâs Thrive Like a Parent podcast, I share my personal journey with setting boundaries and the importance of prioritizing your needs.I describe a time when I had zero boundaries, leading to anxiety, insecurity, and relying on unhealthy coping mechanisms.But through self-reflection, Iâve learned to establish healthy boundaries and strategies to manage my daily life as a parent and caretaker.I also share about being honest and speaking up, even when itâs uncomfortable. Iâve found that being more authentic has allowed me to feel more comfortable in my own skin.I also discuss the importance of setting boundaries with children, and not being afraid to have difficult conversations. The goal is to help kids develop self-regulation and independence.Check out this inspiring episode on the transformative power of boundaries!XOXO,Dr. B#newepisode #thrivelikeaparent #thrivelikeaparentpodcast #hardconversations #settingboundaries #healthyboundaries #boundaries #emotionalregulation #podcast #podcastshow #podcastersofinstagram #vulnerabilityisstrength #couragetogrow #sensory #podcastformoms #podcastforwomen #podcastforparents #overstimulatedparent #overstimulatedmind

EP:102 Putting on your oxygen mask first⌠thatâs youâve heard over and over and over and over and over again.The problem that Iâm finding is that just because we know that phrase doesnât necessarily mean that Iâm seeing that weâre doing it as parents, and when you donât do it, what happens is you place yourself at the bottom of the totem pole.If you are currentlyâ Exhausted and depleted.â Youâre waking up in the morning saying, I canât believe this is my life. I donât know how I got to this place.â You resent your partner.â You are so frustrated and annoyed with your kids.â Youâre on antidepressants.â You have high anxiety.â You are unhappy.That probably means you are and that means that youâre probably dysregulated and miserable.There are so many of you that we work with who just that simple phrase, I matter. You donât believe it. You donât trust it. There are so many individuals who we work with who just have built their own worth within taking care of everyone else around them.I just want to remind you today, if you havenât taken care of yourself in a while, to please do so if you need support, skip the vacation and pay for the support so that when you go on vacation, youâll enjoy the damn vacation. Find someone who feels best and right for you to guide you through your own journey of life. And most importantly, stop wasting time, because time is the most valuable commodity you will ever have, and you canât get it back. So this is your kick in the ass to start climbing that totem pole all the way up to the top, and take a breath once youâre up there and enjoy.For more on this topic - tune into the Thrive Like a Parent podcast.XOXO,Dr. B#podcast #thrivelikeaparentpodcast #thrivelikeaparent #newepisode #parenting #parenthood #podcastformoms #podcastfordads #selfcare #selfcareformoms #selfcareforwomen #selfcareforparents #settingboundaries #youmatter #youmattertoo #sensoryregulation #nervoussystemregulation #nervoussystemhealth #joyinparenting #emotionalregulation #thrive #selfregulation

EP:101 Are you feeling like more like roommate than a loving partner in your dynamic but are hiding from everyone?Itâs more common than you thinkâŚWhy?? Because we all want to put our best faces forward, especially with whatâs happening inside the four corners of our homes!What usually causes the drift?? Overfamiliarity, too much comfortability, overwhelming tasks, and routines, piled up work, new responsibilities, raising kids, insecurities, lack of intimacy, fear, resentment and the list goes on!But this doesnât have to be your situation forever. It doesnât have to be just âIs what it isâThe shift and dynamic of moving from disconnected roommate to connected loving partnership CAN happen.It can through both partners supporting their own mental health through both regulating their own nervous systems and through both having the communication, carving out time for one another and sharing the vulnerability piece of life.Itâs doable. I want you to know it is possible. So have hope. Have faith and take one small step every single day. And trust within where youâre at in this life.Curious how??

EP:99 On this weekâs episode of Thrive Like a Parent podcast.. The dreaded public meltdowns and how to support yourself and your child through them by understanding whatâs happening within the nervous system.
Every child has a tantrum. That does not mean you're a terrible parent. That does not mean that you suck. It means that your child chose the wrong time to do it and the absolute worst thing we can do during a public meltdown is give in.
We live in a world where we think our children will just get it, and unfortunately, we have to teach it. Unfortunately, it is effort. It requires work on our end.
Curious to know the details? Tune in on this week;s episode!

EP:98 If you have never chosen to tap your toe into the world of vulnerability, sharing, being open, and being interested in your feelings, it's going to be very uncomfortable and scary. That's because your brain is saying, 'Hold on, I'm not used to doing this. This is uncharted territory, and this doesn't feel safe.#thrivelikeaparent #thrivelikeaparentpodcast #newepisode #emotions #selfdevelopment #selfcare #adviceforparents #parentingtips #parents #personalgrowth #personaldevelopment #thrive #parenthood #partnership #thriving #settingboundaries #nervoussystem #nervoussystemregulation #nervoussystemhealing #nervoussystemsupport #joyinthejourney #joyinparenting #momeuntrepreneur #selfcarefirst #selfreminder #selfcarematters

EP:96 I am so excited to dive deep into what it means to be a sensory avoider on this week's episode of Thrive Like a Parent podcast.
A true sensory avoider means that you experience sensory stimuli or input into your brain more intensely than the average human, which means you then avoid it because itâs so overwhelming.Here are some signs that you may be a sensory avoider:
âď¸ You startle easily with soundsâď¸ You avoid bright lightsâď¸ You zone out on your phone to escape the chaosâď¸ You prefer more bland foodâď¸ You need the house to be clean and in orderâď¸ You crave calm, quiet, peaceful environmentsâď¸ You are upset by unexpected touch
Often times I find that you humans with sensory avoiding tendencies place sooo much guilt and shame on themselves. Guilt to the point of anxiety and depression. Everyone else is going after it.. Why canât I?? So they push and push and push. Doing the complete opposite from what their body and their brain actually wants and needs.
Therefore awareness is KEY. You must understand how your brain functions, how your childrenâs brain functions and how to support that brain, that will lead to the most beneficial, healthy, joyful life you could ever imagine. Because youâre supporting the brain in a way that suits your own individual brain.
Tune in with me on this weeks episode of THRIVE Like a Parent podcast and letâs discuss what it means to be a sensory avoider and how to increase your capacity for the stimuli around you.

EP:95 All families look different.Before I dive deep into the topic I want to preference that:â whether you are a female And the working parent or a female and the stay at home parentâ whether you are the male and a working parent, or whether you are the male and a stay at home parentALL of your roles matter!I think that partnerships are crumbling, and there's so much resentment and anger towards each other within partnerships. And on todays episode of Thrive Like a Parent Podcast I want to talk about one of the missing pieces that most partnerships do not understandâŚ.No matter which job you're doing, it's not as easy or simple as the other pictures.Being a default parent and a stay at home parent, being the parent who does the majority of the mental load for the kids is not a life of autonomy unless you work really hard to give yourself that autonomy within that life. You must learn how to regulate within the chaos of parenthood in life.If you are the working parent, the pressure never turns off, if I don't show up, if I don't keep pushing, if I don't make it to the next level⌠What will happen if I lose my job? What will happen if I don't get the bonus? What will happen if I don't hit the next financial goal? Then we won't be able to go on the vacation, or I won't be able to. fix the car. There's just so much and the pressure continues. That emotional state never goes away.I truly hope this episode helps to give you a little insight and understanding into the other side of the equation, more awareness, more tolerance, and maybe even a curiosity to dive deeper into getting to know each other's nervous system and how to support each other.#thrivelikeaparentpodcast #thrive #parentingpodcast #podcastforwomen #podcastformen #intimacy #connection #intimacyissues #intimacyandconnection #resentment #joyinthejourney #emotionalregulation #sensoryregulation

EP:94 On this weekâs episode of Thrive Like a Parent podcast we are going to explore strategies for breaking cycles of resentment and rebuilding intimacy in relationships.Some key points I will discuss are:â Working with couples individually on emotional/sensory regulation can be more effective than traditional couples counselingâ Accepting your partner as an individual, rather than trying to control them, is importantâ Focus on your own self-care and regulation to rebuild trust and deeper connectionâ Understand your own nervous system and learn to self-regulate emotions/behaviorsâ Avoid over-caring for partner/child, allow them to develop independenceâ Have open, compassionate conversations about emotional states, not judgmentâ Teach self-regulation skills to children/partner rather than being the sole regulatorâ Address underlying issues like dysregulation or disconnection impacting intimacyâ Intimacy requires consent, communication, and addressing resentment/angerFocus on yourself, communicate openly with empathy, and support your partnerâs self-regulation for a healthier, more intimate relationship.

EP:93 As we head into this summer season, I want you to take a breath and remind yourself, what is the rush. And the more you do that, you're more the more you're slowing your brain down and reminding your brain there is no threat here, I am safe, and it's really hard sometimes to not just allow yourself to feel safe in threatening moments.That's effort, but it's also effort to allow your brain to feel safe in happy moments and good moments, because we harp so much on the hard, we harp so much on the bad that we forget to acknowledge, or even be present to the good.So I encourage you to start acknowledging that there's good.As you ease into the summer, I want you to keep breathing. I want you to relax your shoulders. Take really big inhales and exhales. Do the thing. Say yes to this the thing, go get the ice cream late at night, let your kids stay up, watch the movie, snuggle with them, have fun, because summer can be magical if you allow it.#thrivelikeaparentpodcast #thrivelikeaparent #podcast #parentingpodcast #podcasts #embracingtheseasons #magicofsummer #selfcare #artofslowliving #nervoussystem #podcastforwomen #emotionalhealth #slowdown #summerseason #thrive #thrivecommunity

EP:91 Today on the Thrive Like a Parent Podcast Iâd like to discuss something that has really been on the forefront of my mind latelyâŚ
We MUST set boundaries and provide a balance between screen time and outdoor activities, while also modeling healthy emotional expression and prioritizing our own mental well-being to our children. Excessive screen time can lead to increased anxiety and decreased ability to explore and learn from mistakes.
Social media has been a major contributing factor to cyberbullying, negative self-comparison, anxiety and overall mental health in the next generation.
By prioritizing mental health in the digital age, I believe children will be better equipped to handle the challenges of growing up in a world filled with technology.
So this weekend.. My challenge to you⌠GO EXPLORE.. Take in nature in whatever way feels best and right for you!

I will share with you my journey building a business while raising two children, emphasizing the need to delegate tasks, set boundaries, and prioritize self-care. I will share with you how to let go of perfectionism, being honest about limitations, and putting your own well-being first in order to thrive.
I will also discuss managing childrenâs noise and behavior, distinguishing between dysregulation and baseline sound aversion to choose the right coping strategies. Techniques like noise-reducing loops, breaks for emotional regulation, exercise, meditation, and journaling are recommended for caring for yourself and your family.
Additionally, this episode will cover supporting children with ADHD and other neurodivergent conditions without solely relying on medication. I will speak about cautions about blindly adding medications without monitoring effects closely and advocate for trusting your instincts as a parent. And lastly, I will address navigating social media toxicity, emphasizing creating valuable content over chasing algorithms.
Overall, this episode provides insights on self-care, regulation strategies, and being a proactive advocate for your childâs wellbeing while balancing the demands of work and family life.
