How to be Successful at Home too

Today I’m going to answer the question: What is my work all about? What is it that I do?

 
Essentially, I help you have a better home life. I assist you with everything behind closed doors, including your relationships with others and your relationship with yourself.
When we work on relationships with others, we learn how to get on the same page with our partner, how to find a partner, how to attract the love of our life, how to be more patient with our kids, and how to have more intimate, connected relationships with our family and friends. Those relationships are the foundation of our life and if we don’t feel strong in them, no matter what we achieve, there’s an emptiness. The skills needed to build our business are very different than the skills required to have solid, successful relationships.
In addition to having better relationships, we also want to feel better. We live in this world where everybody is stressed, busy, anxious, not sleeping well, and trying really hard to control their diet, or dealing with their body image, or feeling self-doubt and discomfort. I’m here to help you feel better from the inside out, to teach you the skills and strategies necessary to take care of all of those feelings, so that you can feel more grounded, more peaceful, more driven, focused, clear, open, authentic, whatever it is that you need for yourself and for those that you love most.
So that’s what I do, and I do it in a few forms. One is my life therapy virtual practice. I see people via Zoom or phone, and we meet weekly for our regular sessions. The second are my two books: “Extraordinary Mommy” and “Extraordinary You” which are available on my website. “Extraordinary Mommy” is about how to access that deep love that you have for your kid, and to lead with that love, because we often get so caught up in the waves of life, that we don’t show up for the kids in the way they deserve most. “Extraordinary You” is a be-your-own-therapist type of book, where I talk about all of my key, core principles from my sessions, so you can work on it by yourself at a much cheaper cost than meeting with me independently. And the final is my free content, available here on my website, as well as my YouTube channel, Facebook and Instagram. Check me out, be connected, be part of the community, and we’ll go from there.

Parenting Tip When You Want To Scream

Today I have the best parenting tip ever! You ready?

 
When you just want to scream, when everybody’s acting insane, and you just want to go nuts – whisper.
Whisper. Nobody’s gonna expect it.
If you just whisper, then everyone’s going to be quiet. Everyone has to figure out what it is that you’re saying. Instead of screaming, you can say: “I’m feeling very, very upset right now.” And then the kids come in, get close, and focus.
Just whisper. Talk about what you’re feeling as a whisper. That automatically, energetically, completely changes the whole environment that you’re in.

Why Change is Uncomfortable

Before I begin, I’m gonna remind you, respond, like, comment, do all those things so that we can be connected and I can give you more videos that you actually want.

 
Today I’m going to talk to you a little bit about why change is uncomfortable.
In order to illustrate why it’s uncomfortable, I’m gonna ask you to do one physical exercise three times: Hands apart, grab your hands.
Did you put your thumb in the same position every single time? There’s a very good chance that you did. You didn’t switch. If you’re right-handed you put the right thumb on the top, and if you’re left-handed you put the left thumb on the top.
Whatever you did, now try doing opposite. Feels really weird right? That’s why change is hard. It’s because it’s uncomfortable and unnatural.
We naturally do the same things over and over, because we feel comfortable and that’s our habit pattern. In order to make a change, you have to be willing to be uncomfortable, until it becomes comfortable.

How to Get Along with Others

Today I’m going to talk to you a little bit about having less conflict with your loved ones. You ready for this one?

 
There are а few things to consider.
1. Your energy is contagious.
How you feel affects how other people feel. Our energy is contagious, and we need to learn how to flow with others, instead of against them. When you’re relating to somebody, think about where they are energetically, and learn how can you flow with them, instead of against them. If they have a train of thought, don’t interrupt it, but flow with it.
Think of different people in different bubbles. They’re in one energetic bubble, and you’re in another energetic bubble. And the way for you to connect better is to actually go to their energetic bubble, see what they’re seeing, feel what they’re feeling, acknowledge them and see them clearly, so that they feel seen and understood. And then, once that connection made, you can invite them across the bridge to come see your energetic bubble. So learning how to flow together starts with going to their side and, eventually, once the connection is made, once they feel seen, heard and understood, then you get to invite them to your side. Because if you have an opinion, and they have an opinion, nobody’s hearing anybody.
2. Do more of whatever it is that you want from somebody else.
If you want others to listen better, you need to listen better. If you want them to be more affectionate, you need to be more affectionate. If you want them to play more, you need to play more! Whatever it is that you want from them is what you need to be doing. Again, our energy is contagious, and we are the role model for how you want the relationship to be. So show up the way you want others to show up, and you will more likely get that in return.
