The Uplift Effect Podcast

So what is going on with The Uplift Effect Podcast? There hasn't been an episode since May 2023.... here's what's been going on (life update!) and what is coming up ahead!

Evaluating and aligning our priorities with our vision and value system is one of the most challenging parts of navigating family and life commitments. Today I give you a quick story that many of you may have heard as it relates to the work space, but is equally relevant to our family life. I even share a personal story about how out of alignment I was regarding a specific issue when I had a bunch...

Today is not just about parenting. It's about your real, every day life that's bulging at the seams from overcommitment, too many demands on your time and energy, and in need of an intervention. Today I read a section from "Present Over Perfect: leaving behind frantic for a simpler, more soulful way of living" by Shauna Niequist. This book overs so much insight and is for anyone who's looking for...

Today I share one of the single most powerful things you can do as a parent to develop and grow your relationship with your children. I will tell you that it seems a bit simplistic but my experience is parent's get caught up in so many other things, this powerful tool gets overlooked. Chaos to Confidence Parenting Academy Mini-Series...releasing the first of April!!! I am so excited to provide you...

Building trust with your child is something many parents believe "just happens" and that isn't necessarily true. Today's episode gives you creative ways to build trust and practical ways to teach your children about trusting others in their life. Here's to parenting with confidence...

Today...the unfortunate circumstance of divorce. This episode came as a result of the numerous emails, texts, DM's and friends I have in my life who ask "How do I best navigate this divorce with my kids?" Here are the 2 thoughts/feedback I give every single time! They are important and as a therapist who has spent many sessions talking with children regarding their experiences as their parents div...

Welcome back friends- let's just go ahead and call this officially "Season 2"!  I'm still here and more passionate than ever about how we as parents can navigate this crazy experience of parenthood, especially under some really tough times we're currently experiencing in this present culture. Today I briefly discuss my continued vision for this podcast and why we desperately need "an uplift e...

This week we talk about the most unpopular, unromantic and certainly not an easy part of any successful parenting strategy. However, I promise you this- if you dismiss it, you'll pay dearly. It isn't fun with a 3 year old, but it is definately NOT a pretty picture in those later teenage years. Start this early and you'll thank me later!

This episode was a bit tough... what to say, what not to say. And why have I been MIA the past few weeks? I've been navigating our own life, one of which has been a bit bumpy as of late. And honestly, it's been exhausting.  The concept  today is not new but it's clearly one that's dismissed. When coaches particularly lose sight of their purpose and fail to accept personal responsibilty,...

This may go down as one of my favorites- I interview my second son, Ramiro. We talk about coaches who have made a difference in his life, how discipline stands out on game day and what it's been like to grow up in a family who has been his biggest fans. Don't forget, I know write and release parenting video support through Patreon.  Here's the link to go check it out, thank you for supporting...

If you are roughly in your 40’s, you may remember how reports cards looked- far different than today.  They had a personal touch involved that made a big difference in how I saw myself and what I believed about those who I looked up to. It motivated change because their words mattered.  My Mom did some digging and guess what she found,- the very words I had been carrying in my mind all t...

If you are a parent who has children playing sports...there are many episodes coming that will be important for you as you help your kids on and off the field! I love sports and I have found it to be an incredible tool to help address very specific things with my kids as I've parented 4 kids over the years...all with very different personalities and needed sports for a variety of different things....

Today's episode is all about how you can answer the "So how are you doing?" with a "I'm doing well, and how are you?" and do so honestly. Thank goodness most don't ask "How are you really doing?" because that's a tough question for so many of us right now. Here are some thoughts and ideas that have helped me and those I've counseled/coached as we are on this journey of remaining resilient for the...

This is not a political conversation, this is a leaderships conversation. Regardless of your position on any of the current (and multiple) issues we face right now...one thing is true... Leadership skills are needed now more than ever and our children need us to rise to the occasion and teach them what leadership is, and isn't. The field is plentiful right now for many examples of what happens whe...

That's not a misprint, there is such a thing as "good grieving"... Michele Benyo and I talk through some really important ways we can walk through grief and how to parent our children through grief and loss in a way that validates their experiences and allows them to grieve well.  This is so important bc loss is a guarantee and we can help prepare our children for WHEN, not if,  it happe...

Today's episode is inspired by a chapter in Pat Combs book, "More Than The Score- How Parents And Coaches Can Cultivate Virtue In Youth Athletes."  Farming and parenting have so much in common and I think there are some super helpful analogies here that feel practical and can help us stay focused on where we are headed as we parent these rascals we call our kids! Please don't forget to subscr...

In this episode you will hear my opinion on what I have found, and has been proven in parent/child research, to be a fundamental part of building a strong relationship  with your child. I share today how I've discovered sports (mine and theirs) to be a fantastic common denominator, but I address other area's by which your child may be gifted and passionate about and how to use the same concep...

Before you decide all parents use sports inappropriately with their kids...listen to these 15 life lessons I believe are critical for a child's maturity and have found great success in using real time experiences on the field to develop who they grow to be when off the field.
