I think I’m officially in my “figure it out as I go” era

New career. New goals. Trying to get comfortable talking to a camera. Apparently wigs now too. 🤷🏽‍♀️

For a long time, I think I felt like I needed to have everything figured out before I showed up. But maybe there’s something really beautiful about letting yourself be a beginner… even when other people can see you beginning.

So here I am. Awkward pauses, questionable wig skills and all. 😂

Here’s to getting comfortable being seen before I feel completely ready.

And hopefully becoming a little less cringeworthy and a lot more bingeworthy along the way.

My mother spent over a week in the hospital and had three surgeries during that time. On Wednesday night, after her third surgery, she was in the ICU. Yesterday, she was discharged.

And today? She packed her bags and went on the weekend getaway she'd been planning for months.

Watching her reminded me that living doesn't have to wait until life is perfect. Sometimes life is hard, uncertain, painful, and completely outside of our contro, and we can still choose to participate in it.

She is truly the definition of LIVING, and I hope someone else is as encouraged by her as I am. ❤️

So much of life is spent thinking about what’s next: the next goal, the next dream, the next version of ourselves.

But lately, I’ve been thinking about how important it is to document the now, too.

The ordinary mornings. The random outings. The people. The places. The little moments that don’t seem particularly significant until one day, they’re memories.

I’m still building the life I dream about, but I don’t want to be so focused on the future that I forget to appreciate the life I get to live today. 🤍

So here’s to getting better at capturing it… even if I forget to record half the day. 😂

Sometimes feedback feels like an attack,even when it isn't one.
(I HAVE MY HUSBAND'S PERMISSION TO SHARE THIS STORY)

When our nervous system hears “You hurt me” as “You're a bad person,” defensiveness can take over before we've actually heard what the other person is trying to communicate.

Emotional intelligence doesn't mean you'll never feel defensive. It means learning to recognize that reaction, stay curious, and make room for someone else's experience without immediately explaining yours away.

And parents, this matters with our children too. When they tell us we've hurt, embarrassed, or misunderstood them, can we listen before we defend our intentions?

Your intention matters,but so does their experience.

These are the emotional skills many of us are trying to teach our children while learning them ourselves.

Nobody taught us this. 💛

If you're ready to explore how your own emotional patterns and nervous system show up in your parenting, DM me GROW to learn about one-on-one coaching.

A quick diversion from parenting content.
Before my husband could change his mind, my bags were packed and I booked our accommodation while we were on the road.
He will be going away for work again soon so I am so grateful that we get to take a spontaneous trip this weekend.

Saying “I’m fine” doesn’t make the feeling disappear.

Many of us grew up learning how to hide, minimize, or push away uncomfortable emotions, not how to actually understand them.

But emotional regulation starts with emotional awareness.

“I’m angry” isn’t a failure.
“I’m jealous” isn’t a failure.
“I’m disappointed” isn’t a failure.

Being able to recognize what you're feeling, get curious about why it's there, and choose what you do next? That's emotional intelligence.

And if we want our children to develop these skills, we have to be willing to practice them too.

Because, well… nobody taught us this. 💛

Recognizing some of these patterns in yourself? DM me GROW to learn more about one-on-one coaching.

I started watching reality TV for the entertainment and accidentally got a masterclass in what happens when nobody teaches us emotional intelligence. 😅

We expect children to regulate their emotions, communicate their feelings, handle disappointment, apologize, and work through conflict…

But how many of us were actually taught how to do those things ourselves?

The good news? Emotional intelligence isn't something you either have or don't have. These are skills, and skills can be learned.

So we're going there. 👀

Welcome to "Nobody Taught Us This" where we'll use the chaos on our screens to talk about emotional awareness, nervous system regulation, relationships, and the patterns we may unknowingly bring into our parenting.

And if this series starts making you recognize some patterns of your own, DM me GROW to learn about working with me one-on-one. 💛

Hopping on the "Five things that's worth the money" trend, but being 100% DELUSIONAL.
Watch this space for my delusion to become reality!

The way we interpret our child's behavior changes the way we respond to it.

When we assume they're trying to manipulate us, we often react with punishment.

But when we become curious and ask, "What might my child be feeling right now?" we create space for connection, guidance, and growth.

Behavior is communication. Beneath every meltdown, shutdown, or outburst is a child who hasn't yet learned how to express what they're experiencing.

Our role isn't just to correct the behavior, it's to help them understand the feeling behind it.

That's where emotional intelligence begins.

If you're looking for practical ways to help your child identify emotions, build confidence, practice gratitude, and strengthen emotional regulation, Big Feelings, Brave Goals was created to help. Find it through the link in my bio.
