The Family Matters Podcast

When I saw this quote from Eckhart Tolle that I opened the podcast with, it really hit me. It hit me so hard that it inspired thoughts to spew out of me that I felt would be very pertinent to so many. It is so important to remember that we are not our emotions. I realized that a couple of weeks ago, I fell prey to personifying the way I was feeling. I began to identify with it. I felt like it was...

We know how important it is to teach emotional regulation to our children. But parents, you better know how to emotionally regulate before you can teach it to your own children. Remember, so much more is caught than taught in our parenting world. Here is the link I promised to follow along with: https://cls.unc.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/3019/2016/06/Chain-Analysis-Worksheet.pdf I have decided t...

This podcast is for the self-help junkie. I have definitely been there. That hit of dopamine every time you hear the latest and greatest strategy is exquisite. So, you seek more and more and more.

Is there improvemen...

In this podcast I talk about how difficult communication is between anyone who seems to be the cause of pain for you. What would happen if you were asked to give a speech and while you were walking up about to deliver it, you totally stubbed your toe? Would you be able to talk right away? Would you have the senses to say everything as planned? Not at all...you'd definitely need some time to compos...

In this episode, I explain where I've been for the last couple of years. I have been chasing after a dream. I share 3 key things I have learned about chasing dreams. I explain my podcast's new name Turn the Corner.

To all my single moms out there, this message is for you. Single dads, just substitute dad for mom and listen on father's day. :) :) * Why does Mother's Day shortly after a divorce feel weird or different? I hope it doesn't for you, but just in case, I shared my perspective which I believe many share. * It is interesting that once divorced, you fall into the category of Single Mom. Isn't that nice...

I've got a little secret to share in this podcast that you might not be ready to hear. So, when you're ready...go listen! You won't regret it. * This podcast actually stems from a time in my life when I was struggling and I kept asking my mom for advice. "Tell me your secrets!" I'd say. "I want to know." She would keep telling me I wasn't in the right frame of mind to hear it yet and kept putting...

This is truly the come back kid story. If you feel a lack of motivation or continuation or cultivation or any -ation, come listen to this interview I have with my friend, Jordan Keith (@jordandkeith). * We are talking fitness, health, physical journey today folks, and boy this guy has had one...and a few. Growing up as a kid who was always overweight, it was super hard to feel confident enough to...

In this podcast, I interview Noelle McBride, @c.noellemcbride author of "Beauty for Ashes: Divorce and the Latter-Day Saint Woman." I believe this is the first book of its kind! FINALLY, there is a great resource for members of the Church going through divorce. * We talk about everything here: healing, boundaries, forgiveness, falling out of love, dating after divorce, faith amidst trial, building...

Ever feel like you're stuck in a rut? You just have lost your passion and vision. You may still feel happy, but things are just meh. That emoji is getting used more and more by you. Haha * I found myself here and then did something to break out of it that has been life changing. Yeah, yeah, sounds cliche and life coachy. I get it. But, hey, it worked for me big time and it will work for you, too....

In this podcast I interview my oldest daughter Izzy. I thought it could be beneficial to go to the source and ask how her experience has been with going between two households. * I can imagine that having four parents might feel a little much at times, but Izzy handles it great. She's a wonderful oldest sister to all her siblings and is a great example. * I love how she explains having two houses...

You guys ready to hear more about setting goals? Ok, ok, we all know how to set them. Start broad, narrow them down, make them actionable and doable. * But...HOW DO WE MAKE THEM LAST? There's some statistic going around that says in 2 weeks from the beginning of the year 90% of us stop following our goals. Ok, so that number grows every time I hear the statistic. Whatever it is, that is lame! We a...

In this video, I interview President Tim Overton of the Phoenix, AZ West Maricopa Stake. President Overton has been stake president for 5 years and a previous bishop. He joined the church 20 years ago while playing football at Idaho State University. Tim works as an attorney and law professor and specializes in inclusion, diversity and race relations. * I wanted to take a peek inside the training...

Nobody likes to bring up tough subjects. If you are anything like me, you'd rather throw dirt in your eyes. But there really is a much much easier way to go about engaging in one. * What about offering apologies? Is it awkward or actually empowering. How about receiving apologies? * Whether we're trying to communicate in marriage, coparenting, or whatever the case may be, I've come across some lit...

In this podcast I share what I feel are the top TEN things people forget to include in their divorce decrees. When writing a parenting plan, it's hard to look into the future and have things laid out especially when your kids are young. * You're probably not thinking about cell phones, extra curricular activities let alone college. How does this all play out as the years go by? * Tune in and find...

What do you do if one parent will not give permission for your child to be baptized? This can feel very devastating as members of The Church view baptism as necessary for salvation. * If you foresee this happening in the future there are a few things you can include in your divorce decree. * Come listen in to hear my take on a few things you can do to dispel the fears that surround this. I have tr...

Having the Gift of the Holy Ghost is probably life's most precious gift. We sometimes forget we even have it, though. We have GOOGLE where we can get all our answers, so we forget we have the greatest direction ever! * Our world is obsessed with self help books, diets, blogs, smoothies, gurus, podcasts (um ya, that's me). Everywhere you turn someone has the answer or strategy you need to feel bett...

This podcast is for all my self-helpers out there. The green smoothie drinking, morning routiners, goal setting, self-improving friends. Sometimes we all get into funks where our usual strategies don't seem to be working. At those types of moments, I ask (in my best Chandler from Friends voice) "Could it BE more simple?" * With so much content and self help in the world, we can miss the mark. We m...

Here's the deal. I know how loneliness feels. It can really suck, I get it. But, ya know what else is worse? Being in a lousy relationship or even worse, an abusive one. Sometimes once we're freshly out of that relationship, the sting of loneliness hits us hard at first and literally blinds our memory of how bad it was in the relationship. * We start freaking out and want to either get back into s...

Image a world without complaining. Can you even picture it? It's too good, right?! I want you to start picturing it at least in your own life. Everything starts with one person...YOU! * Why 21 days? Studies have shown that it takes about that amount of time to make or break a habit. That is what complaining is....a habit. We have wired our brains to make complaining in conversation a part of life....

Man BREAK UPS HURT! Nothing you do seems to ease the pain! * Here's 3 things: Validate, Separate, and Celebrate. * Listen in. * For personal coaching set up your appointment today: https://coachemilysanchez.square.site

While hiking in Sedona I noticed a lot of people without shoes. At first I thought, "they be crazy" then I started thinking maybe they know something I don't. I asked a young man why he chose not to wear shoes while hiking this uphill climb. He explained to me that not only could he grip with his toes, balance better, and slip less, but that it was supposed to ground you. * This stuck with me. I l...

Lately it seems the only thing people can agree on is that we can't agree on anything. Our minds are trained to quickly block someone we disagree with so that in real life we start walking away from arguments or not engaging at all in important conversations that need to take place. * My goal in this podcast is to help you disagree productively, to find ways to bring truth to life and new ideas to...
