Harmony in the Home152: Ghost Parenting“Okay Kelly, what’s with the spooky title?” Well, let’s talk about this. If you had a rough time in your childhood, you may have bad memories of a parent or guardian, a family member, a teacher, or perhaps bad memories from a combination of these people. One of the “default settings’ you experience as a parent is that, the instant one of your children manifests a behavior you dislike — it could be not sharing toys, crying in Target, taking candy from a store as a 3-year-old child — your brain will go straight toward “oh no, they’re going to be just like [tri...2022-05-1115 min

Harmony in the Home145: Talking ToysHow can you help people in your house put things where they’re supposed to go? Okay, bear with me here. Remember how all the toys in Toy Story moved and talked when the kids were gone? Well, in my house, sometimes lots of objects talk! When I would leave cabinets open in the kitchen, David used to leave little sticky notes on the cabinet, from the perspective of the cabinet door, that said things like “Hi Kelly! I get kind of scared and lonely when I’m open like this! Can you close me when you’re finished? Love, the cabi...2022-03-2325 min

Harmony in the Home143: Rubric ParentingWhat are your metrics for success as a parent? How do you know when you’re doing a good job? I’ve had rubrics on the brain. When my kids have school assignments, whether those assignments are projects, written reports, or presentations, the teacher provides a rubric that shows the quality of work necessary to receive a given grade. I was thinking about this recently because I’ve been taking golf lessons with Grady (I have to unlearn a lot of bad habits from other sports I’ve done over the years, but his young brain is absorbing the correct informat...2022-03-0914 min

Harmony in the Home094: Why You’re Not Losing WeightIn 2013, things were not great in Kelly land. I felt like I had lost my mojo. I felt stuck at the time. To be fair, there were a lot of stressors in my life: we were living in a house with a mold problem - we’re talking so much mold that living there was unsafe! - we were briefly homeless because of it, David didn’t like his job, my mom had a 15-pound tumor. Anyway, it was not great. As I began to sink into despair for our family’s woes, I started to get very out of shape...2021-03-3128 min

Harmony in the Home070: The Label MakerMy mom used her label maker to slap labels on containers for coupons, cosmetics, and more. It's fine to label physical containers. But are we sometimes overzealous in putting labels on our children, these precious containers of beautiful spirits?2020-10-1423 min

Harmony in the Home069: The TattleboxWhen I was a teacher, I was accustomed to telling my students no. No talking, no running, no fighting. There was also a lot of tattling in my class (and we’ll get back to that in a moment). There was a little boy named Mark, and one day, this tiny boy no more than 6 or 7 said something that permanently altered the course of my teaching style, my parenting approach, and my life. He said, I feel like she’s always mad at us! And boy oh boy, I felt horrible! I had to level with the fact that I was...2020-10-0723 min

Harmony in the Home068: House HacksCleaning and maintaining your house is an uphill climb every single day. It doesn’t come naturally to me! I am a C+ without any effort, and a B- with exceptional effort. But your relationship with your house is the same as your relationship with any other person in your life! Wild, huh? … Allow me to explain. If you’re stressed, bitter, or angry because of a person, your relationship with them will feel strained. The house is neutral, but you can control your thinking about your house. The state of your house isn’t causing you stress, but your thoughts...2020-09-2924 min

Harmony in the Home067: Organizing Your House Part 2In this episode, I’ll revisit the monster task: organizing your house! I talked extensively about Brooke Castillo’s CTFAR Model in episode 65, and I’ll mention it again here because plugging your thoughts and feelings (or what you want to think and feel) into this model will help you accomplish your goals. Just like I talked about in episode 64, the Goldilocks principle of a happy “medium” state of being applies not only to your parenting style but to the state of your home. As you work to find a mutual compromise between the members of your family, you’ll feel happier...2020-09-2324 min

Harmony in the Home066: Organizing Your HouseLet me tell you a tale of two teachers. When I was an intern, I worked under the mentorship of two different teachers with vastly different classroom styles. One had their room in immaculate condition with not a single object out of place; the other had a pretty cluttered (but clean) room. For both of these teachers, the state of their room was comfortable to them. The same should be true of your house. I always say, borrowing Dr. Phil’s expression, “how’s that working for you?” If you are comfortable in your situation, no need to change. However, my perso...2020-09-1621 min

Harmony in the Home065: Love Your LaundryPeople have a lot of feelings about laundry. Washing clothes for one person is a stressful task in its own right, and the more people there are in your household, the more the pile (and the stress) grows. I asked you, my listeners, to tell me your feelings and describe what laundry is to you, and many of you responded that you feel overwhelmed or like the laundry is never-ending. This is totally understandable! This and other household chores have been the bane of my existence — so much so that for the first few years of my marriage to my hu...2020-09-0937 min

Harmony in the Home064: Goldilocks ParentingIn the story of Goldilocks and the Three Bears, the impetuous young girl Goldilocks breaks and enters the Bear family house, vandalizes their furniture, consumes their food, and ungraciously makes a mess of their bedrooms, all in the quest to find a “just right” experience. While I do not advocate emulating Goldilocks’ uncivilized behavior, I have taken away a key lesson: finding a happy medium as a parent is a matter of consistent, compassionate experimentation! When parenting, we can be too cold — hands-off to the point of neglect. We can also be too hot — over-involved, hovering helicopters. But our duty as parents...2020-09-0222 min

Harmony in the Home063: Making Decisions With Your KidsSHOW NOTES You may sit and wonder — how did your parents do it? The sheer amount of decisions you need to make as a parent (first for your children, then with them) may be overwhelming. Should I use cloth or disposable diapers? Co-sleep or a separate crib/bed? Nursing or formula? Television watch time quota? Allowance for chores? The list goes on and on. When discussing the conundrum of making decisions for and with your children, I often think about a well-known axiom attributed to Aristotle. “To avoid criticism: say nothing, do nothing, be nothing.” But where's the fun in that...2020-08-2626 min

Harmony in the Home062: Lost in Motherhood Part 2In this episode, we’ll be continuing the dialogue I started In episode 61. I’ll be responding to more questions from you, my listeners, and expounding on the ease with which we “lose ourselves” and our identities outside of parenthood. I’ll also speak even more regarding our pressing need to reclaim and nurture our non-parent identities in order to be the best parents we can be. We owe it to our children to make time for ourselves, to have a Self from which to draw an abundance of love and compassion! The Miracle Morning regimen I described in detail in episode...2020-08-1925 min

Harmony in the Home061: Lost In Motherhood Part 1I have received hundreds of emails from listeners — parents who feel overwhelmed by parenthood, frazzled moms (and dads too) who are trying to give their children the world, but feel like their own needs are not being met. These people struggle to feel a sense of Self outside of the identity of parent, and they suffer considerably as a result. Attachment to your children to the point of codependency or projecting your idealized version of them onto them can have deep negative consequences. Children are very attentive to the distress of their parents. If they become conditioned to act or be...2020-08-1226 min

Harmony in the Home060: The Perfect VacationEarly on in parenthood, my own perfectionism and “mommy guilt” ran rampant when planning events, from my children’s first birthdays to a family excursion to Walt Disney World. I often relied on my children’s emotional states to inform me whether I was parenting “correctly” and sought validation from them and other external sources rather than from within my heart. On the first Disney World trip, I lectured them about conforming to what was (to them, barely toddlers) a literally unattainable behavioral norm. We had meltdowns galore. Everybody was unhappy! But time and my personal growth process have been excellent te...2020-08-0524 min

Harmony in the Home059: Your Miracle MorningParenting is a wonderful, glorious, grueling challenge. Our children rely on us to help them learn to manage their emotions and make rational decisions when they cannot do so alone. Despite your inward drive toward perfection, parenting doesn’t have to be perfect. It just has to be enough, and “enough” is well within your capabilities! As you come to have an abundance of love and compassion for yourself, you will be able to extend the same to your spouse and children. I’ve titled this episode after Hal Elrod’s amazing book The Miracle Morning, which details “lifesaver” techniques for drasticall...2020-07-2926 min

Harmony in the Home058: TriangulationImagine, if you will, a teacher and the parents speaking via counselor; divorcing spouses venting to their children; and one man torn between his wife and his mother. These are all instances of triangulation, a perilous tool. Sometimes it’s useful to have an external mediator in a situation fraught with potential conflict. For example, as a counselor, I was often the “third wheel” between parents and their children's teachers. I facilitated a healthy, affirming dialogue centered on the needs of the child. But I have often seen, in my own life and in the lives of people around me, that t...2020-07-2229 min

Harmony in the Home057: Q&A Part 2This will be my second Q&A episode, and I have some great questions from listeners to discuss with you! Before I started my journey with my own coach back in 2013, I was paralyzed with fear that I was a bad mom. I was convinced that my happiness and fulfillment depended on external circumstances. I thought that perhaps I would be happier if I set my house in perfect order, or changed my husband or my children. But anyone can tell you it’s impossible to change other people — and a house is nothing but a collection of temporal possessions. With...2020-07-1527 min

Harmony in the Home056: Q&A Part 1For this episode, and the forthcoming episode 57, I’d like to take some time to answer questions from my listeners and participants in my parenting boot camp. I often receive questions like “what’s your opinion on [parenting technique]?” I say the same thing Dr. Phil says to participants on his show: “how’s that working for you?” There are no universal answers to cultivating a healthy family dynamic. Every parent is different. Every child is different. Life is like a test, and everybody gets a different exam form with different combinations of questions to figure out. I’ve worked with kids and pa...2020-07-0825 min

Harmony in the Home055: The Love CupThe Love Cup — it sounds like The Love Boat, doesn't it? I taught first grade and was the counselor in a school that was pre-K through 5th grade, and at the end of each school year I'd ask my students, "what was your favorite part?" It was always something related to emotions. People may forget words and actions, but they never forget how you made them feel. Says L. R. Knost, "Every strength has a corresponding challenge and every challenge has a corresponding strength. … When faced with challenging behaviors, look for the corresponding strength, and focus on nurturing that gift whil...2020-07-0122 min

Harmony in the Home054: Get Your Kids To Calm DownWhen our kids are freaking out in front of us it is natural that we tend to freak out with them because we are so overwhelmed with seeing them so upset. Some kids act super hot and show their frustrations through anger like hitting, screaming, spitting, etc. Some kids act super cold when showing their frustrations through pouting, feeling sorry for themselves, and with a “nobody loves me” attitude. Most kids do a combination of both, but usually do one more than the other. Today I will show you how to get comfortable when they get uncomfortable and empower them with st...2020-06-2430 min

Harmony in the Home052: Painful ParentingI hear from 100s of parents everyday frustrated with their child’s behavior. The email starts with “How do I get my child to stop ________?” Or blame the child for the adult’s behavior like “if they would just do _____ then I wouldn’t have to yell or call them names.” When you see it written out like that then you realize that the child has all of the emotional power. It is up to the child to determine how we behave. This is reactive and disempowering for the parent and for the child. So many parents want the child to change and then...2020-06-1022 min

Harmony in the Home043: 50:50Lots of emotions are swirling around these days and I’m going to teach you a 50/50 concept I learned from Brooke Castillo. When we know that the human experience involves 50% negative emotion and the other 50% being positive emotions then we aren’t so scared and resistant to emotions. When we let go of the idea that we should feel happiness all of the time then we can let go of that expectation and lean into the negative emotions with joy too. Rather, we can have compassion, grace, kindness and be gentle with ourselves instead of beating ourselves up for feeling an emo...2020-04-0827 min

Buffering is any kind of activity that you take a part in that is an effort to escape negative emotions that creates a negative result . Sometimes we think we need to be happy all the time and should never feel negative emotion. So then if we feel a negative emotion then we feel like something has gone wrong and want to “buffer” away from that emotion. Feeling pain and negative emotion is part of our human experience and when we resist negative emotion then that emotion will only get stro...2020-03-2528 min

Some examples of masks could be, but not limited to: 1. The Cool Guy 2. The Humorist 3. The Overachiever 4. The Martyr 5. The Bully 6. The Control Freak 7. The Self-Basher 8. The People-Pleaser 9.

I have been coaching people for almost 7 years to help them to lose anywhere from 1 pound, 10 pounds and sometimes even over 100 pounds, but the process and the mindset is always the same.

Harmony in the HomeNaughty Or NiceWe all fall into the naughty or nice concept during the holiday and I’m begging parents to reconsider this idea that an elf, a Mensch on a Bench or Santa Claus, etc will determine their value or worth and then give presents in according to the opinion of this mythical figure that doesn’t even exist. I love the holidays and all the magic that comes with this season so let’s still have fun, but not bring in a child’s worthiness or value in the process. What is your biggest takeaway? Send me a review or email to let me...2019-12-1829 min

Harmony in the HomeHolding The SpaceI am always telling my clients to “hold the space” for their kids when they are having a meltdown, but what does that actually mean? It’s essentially means ‘’to be with someone without judgment and donate your ears and heart without wanting anything back while practicing empathy and compassion.” In this episode, I’ll go over how it felt when people held the space in my life and how I did as a counselor and how you can hold the space for your children during their messy moments. You will breed so much connection with your kids and that will breed more con...2019-12-1132 min

Harmony in the HomeThe PlaybookWe all know that a football coach is a great play maker and creates play for all the players to run during the game so it will skyrocket the offense, score more touchdowns and win more games! When the players follow the runs to a tee then there is happiness and sometimes we bring that same mentality into our relationships with those within our 4 walls. I’ll go over some examples of playbooks that we create in our relationships that prevents vulnerability to live, holds our loved ones hostage with our controlling energy that is always rooted in fear and how t...2019-12-0437 min

Harmony in the HomeCognitive DissonanceToday we are learning fancy-schmancy word called “Cognitive Dissonance”. It sounds fancy, but what i really means is the uncomfortable emotions that come up between an old thought and a new thought. This is the reason why most people don’t achieve their goals; whether it’s something like a goal to lose weight, stop yelling at their kids, live in an organized house, have more connection with the spouse, write that book or build that business they’ve always dreamed of. The old thought feels so familiar like an old pair of jeans that we slip on and to challenge the...2019-11-2736 min

Harmony in the HomeStop Gaslighting Our KidsIf you’re like me and never heard the term “Gaslighting” comes from the 1938 stage play Gas Light, in which a husband attempts to drive his wife crazy by dimming the lights (which were powered by gas) in their home. When his wife points it out, he denies that the light changed. Gaslighting is an extremely effective form of emotional abuse that causes a victim to question their own feelings, instincts and sanity, which gives the abusive partner a lot of power (and we know that abuse is about power and control). Once an abusive partner has broken down the victim’...2019-11-2026 min

Harmony in the HomeThe ModelClients come to me with their problems and the easiest way to have conscious thinking about the problem is by plugging it into “The Model” which was created by Brooke Castillo after years of studying the work of Byron Katie, Eckhart Tolle, and other powerful thought leaders. It helps to see everything broken down in our life in this order: C-Circumstances T-Thoughts F-Feelings A-Actions R-Results When we realize that the people and experiences in our life are always neutral and not causing our suffering; yet our thinking that is causing our stress, then we can be more intentional about our thinki...2019-11-1332 min

Harmony in the HomeWhole vs HoleMany of my clients come to me with holes in their spirit from their parents who may have been neglectful, emotionally disconnected or suffering from their own emotional literacy struggles. They took their parents’ opinion of them as fact and forget to recognize that their parents were just projecting how they felt about themselves onto the child and we have that same power today with our own children. I love to remind clients that they came THROUGH their parents and not FROM their parents and their umbilical cord was attached to something much deeper and higher level before they were in...2019-11-0637 min

Harmony in the HomeHow to Have More PatienceMany people come to me desperate for more patience and wondering where they can find it. It feels as if patience is living outside of us and we just need to find it or our children need to be less combative so they can earn a more patient person. Essentially we are blaming our children for our lack of patience, short fuse and basically saying “well they started it” and that turns us into the emotional child and patience is fleeting. In this episode you’ll learn more about: How to to have more patience through detachingHow to find more patience...2019-10-0230 min

Harmony in the HomeAddicted to BusyI was so overwhelmed and couldn’t balance all that life was throwing at me. I was buried in mommy guilt, a toddler who wouldn’t stop crying and she seemed scared of her own shadow. If we went on play dates or a birthday party, then Lily would cling to my leg and seemed unsteady if I talked to another adult. Then that all changed after a life changing trip to South Carolina with David to see his parents. Today you will learn more about: How something as simple as hummingbirds became a staple concept in our homeHow I was ad...2019-09-0433 min
