Welcome to The Positively Healthy Mom Podcast! I'm Laura Ollinger, and I'm thrilled to have Dominika Staniewicz, a brain coach and elite neuro-encoding specialist, joining us today. In this heartfelt conversation, Dominika shares her expertise on mental health, resilience, and the power of neuroscience in transforming our lives.

Dominika is not only a brain coach but also a mom of twins who are now 24 years old. Her journey and insights into motherhood, coupled with her professional expertise, make her a remarkable guest. She works with individuals dealing with anxiety, depression, PTSD, self-doubt, and ADHD, helping them create new perspectives and rewire their brains for happiness and success.

In this episode, Dominika and I dive deep into the importance of balancing love and empathy with boundaries and expectations in parenting. We discuss the significance of allowing our children to experience failure and discomfort, as these experiences build resilience and prepare them for life's challenges. Dominika shares her personal parenting journey, including the concept of "crappy dinners," where her family discusses failures and learns from them.

Dominika's approach emphasizes the need for small, consistent changes rather than drastic, overwhelming actions. She explains the science behind our emotions, the role of dopamine, and why it's essential to allow ourselves to feel the full range of emotions. This conversation is a powerful reminder that it's okay to have bad days, and that experiencing ups and downs is a natural part of life.

We also explore practical tips for fostering resilience in our children, the importance of life skills, and how to model healthy behavior for our kids. Dominika's wisdom and warmth shine through as she encourages us to embrace our humanity, accept our imperfections, and strive for continuous growth.

Join us for this enlightening conversation to learn how to boost family resilience, navigate the challenges of parenting, and create a nurturing environment where both moms and children can thrive.
