This offer is for new and existing customers!” Do you ever feel upset over plans changing or things not going the way you had planned it out? In this episode we dive into ambiguous grief (i.e. when things don't go according to plan, grieving unmet expectations, accepting life's curveballs) (ex: infertility, divorce, financial distress, marital problems, parental disputes). Whether big or small understanding and being able to work through ambiguous grief can be so helpful! 1. Most of us have a vision or an expectation of how our life should go and when it doesn't we feel out of control and sometimes devastated. (For example: I dreamed of a certain dynamic for my children's relationship & the relationship I have with my mom/in laws) How can we acknowledge and grieve these unmet expectations? 2. I feel like I processed through the grief of my unmet expectations but am hit with another wave of grief for the same thing months or years later. Am I not moved on? Is something wrong with me? 3. What are some tips to let go of life-plan related and or anticipatory anxiety to better prepare for life's curveballs?

Disney Jr.’s Ariel is an animated musical series for preschoolers inspired by the beloved story of “The Little Mermaid.” It follows 8-year-old mermaid princess Ariel as she and her friends embark on fun-filled, action-packed underwater adventures throughout their Caribbean-inspired fairytale kingdom of Atlantica and beyond. The series features fan-favorite characters, including King Triton, Ursula, Sebastian, and Flounder, as well as exciting new additions like Ariel’s two best friends, mer-children Lucia and Fernie, and lots of other adorable sea creatures. The series debuts Thursday, June 27 on Disney Jr. and next day, Friday, June 28 on Disney+. Arguing in relationships happens but we don't often talk about how to reconnect and repair the relationship after an argument happens. Too often we move on without any true resolution. This we are talking to Jocelyn Freeman of Meet the Freemans and she walks us through some strategies and ways we can repair and take accountability without resentment. 1. We just had a big argument and are at a stalemate, how do we repair? 2. Our argument got heated, we took a break to cool down, but when we talk about it and try to repair we end up getting into an even bigger argument. How can we stop this cycle? 3. POV: I always feel like I am initiating the repair and taking accountability, but my partner isn't. I am feeling disconnected and frustrated which is leaving me to feel resentment. What can I do so I am not the only one saying sorry? 4. How can I get past the self-righteous mentality in arguments? Aaron and Jocelyn Freeman ("The Freemans") are authors of The Argument Hangover, creators of The Couples Workshop (which has sold out over 50 times), and coaches to thousands of couples worldwide.

  • How to nurture BODY LOVE & Neutrality for our young kids w/Dr. Morgan Francis

    How to nurture BODY LOVE & Neutrality for our young kids w/Dr. Morgan Francis
    Jul 2 2024
    Body image and and neutrality is something I didn't really learn about until I was an adult, after struggling for years. Especially after having my own kids I began to wonder, how do we do better for our kids so that they don't have to struggle with the same body image issues like most of us did as kids? On this weeks episode we dive into the topic and address some important questions! How can we talk to our kids about their body early on & in their teens to promote body neutrality? What are things we should avoid doing or saying to nurture body positivity in our daughters? Our kids are growing up surrounded by social media and are consuming damaging content for their views on themselves and their body. How can we help them avoid the comparison cycle of unrealistic body image on the internet? How can we help empower our daughters to stand up for themselves when their body is being negatively talked about by classmates, friends, family, or strangers? What are signs that we should be aware of that may indicate our child is struggling with an eating disorder?
