  • 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?
    • What is the “big three” and its impact in promoting independence and accountability at home?

    Come hang out with Sam on social @‌samkelly_world and learn more about working with her below!

    Free Guide to teach your kids how to "Notice and Do" at home

    For Guest Interview Email: heyheysamkelly@gmail.com

    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.
