  • Relieving the Mental Load of Sports Parenting + Teaching Athletes Responsibility w/ Sam Kelly
    Jun 4 2024

    Can we really get our kids to help lessen our mental load at home? You bet!

    Welcome to today's episode featuring special guest Sam Kelly, a therapist turned feminist coach for mothers. She will help us how we can exactly focus on lightening our mental load by empowering our athlete daughters.

    In this episode, Bre and Sam engages us into these principles:

    • What is the concept of the "mental load" and the unseen labor that sports moms carry daily?
    • How could we empower our kids to build a sense of responsibility at home without nagging them?

    Episode Highlights:

    [1:58:00] Is the mental load of being a sports mom weighing you down? Would you like to reduce this mental load? In this episode, therapist-turned-feminist Sam Kelly shows us how moms could also lighten our mental load while empowering our kids to be proactive contributors in the home.

    [03:39:00] What is the invisible labor that sports moms carry; and why is this happening? Listen in as Sam helps us understand what invisible labor is and how we can help empower our kids without nagging them to do the things that we know they're capable of doing.

    [9:22:25] There’s a two-part approach to teaching our kids to be proactive contributors at home. In this episode, Sam teaches us her process of noticing what’s to be done and getting them to do it instead of just defaulting to “Mom’s got it!”

    [10:07:07] The burning question that moms like us would ask is this: Can our kids really do this? Tune in to this episode as Sam discusses the principles of why our kids can be taught, why this skill is learnable for all kids, and what you can do to get them to practice these.

    [12:04:95] Talking to our athlete daughters about the WHY of giving them the opportunity to age-appropriately contribute in the chores at home could be very powerful. This podcast introduces us to how we could get into that level of deeper conversation on discovering the WHY.

    [16:26:00] Are there any simple and easy steps that our athlete kids can get started with when it comes to building up their sense of contributing to the tasks at home? In this episode, Sam breaks down these steps so that we could actually set our kids up for success.

    [18:05:51] Did you know that giving your kids an opportunity to fail is also helping them to be responsible? But how do we do that without resorting to taking on the task ourselves? That’s what Sam talks about in this episode so make sure that you tune in.

    [24:16:50] How do moms handle the possibility of nagging their kids? Tune in as Sam makes a clear distinction between nagging and neutralizing our reminders to help empower our athlete daughters.

  • Getting Your Daughter 'On Board' With Mental Training. How This Mom Did It!
    May 28 2024

    What would you do if, upon discovering that mental training could greatly improve your daughter’s athletic performance, your daughter doesn’t want to get on board with you?

    In this podcast, sport mom Malinda shared about what led her to discover the mental training in our signature Elite Mental Game and how this tool shifted her mindset that flowed to her daughter and the rest of her household.

    What’s covered:

    • A sports mom’s journey from heartbreak to breakthrough
    • What should be done (and not done) to get your athlete daughter on board the mental training
    • How mental training benefits the sports mom, the athlete daughter, and their whole family

    If you’re ready to discover the game-changing power of mental training not only for yourself, but also for your athlete daughter, this podcast is the safe space for you. Tune in!

    Episode Highlights:


    [00:00:19] Whether you’re just getting into sports or you have a lot of seasons under your belt, you can raise a confident, mentally strong girl athlete, just like what Malinda discovered inside our signature mentor training program.

    [00:03:59] Is there anything helpful that you could say to your athlete daughter when, after she was cut from her tryout despite all her preparations, she announced that she will never play that game again? Listen in as Malinda shares how she navigated this heartbreak.

    [00:06:21] When your daughter is not quite keen about joining the ECP but you know how transformative the program is going to be, you can access our tools that can help you with the buy-ins.

    [00:07:18] But even if your kid is not a hundred percent bought in at first, it’s still alright because half of the program is for you and how you need to understand your role in all of this.

    [00:08:17] As an athlete mom, you could still dive into the ECP despite your kids not convinced, because they will soon notice the changes in your reaction. Malinda shared how even her whole household changed when she started to shift her focus and used our available tools.

    [10:38:00] ]Listen as Malinda shared her excitement when her athlete daughter tried out again for volleyball and making it to the B team after she finally got on board with her in the ECP. What a huge progress indeed!

    [13:05:00] One of our tools in the ECP works like a failure recover system wherein athletes find a way to respond to moments of failure in such a way that increases their confidence from knowing that they have made the best preparations.

    [15:48:00] Are you still on the fence of joining the ECP? Tune in as Malinda talked about how she started from being outside the fence to making the shift and discovering a game-changing path for her, her daughter, and her whole family.

    [17:24:00] Have you also reached a point in your life when you wished that your daughter will just quit her sports because it has been adding so much stress to her and your whole family? Tune in as Malinda navigated through this heartbreaking experience with the ECP and discovered a different approach as a parent that changed the directory of her daughter’s athletic life.
