If you are struggling with your children's behavior, this is a DO NOT MISS EPISODE! I play back a previous session I did in my Mom's group so you will hear a live (with all the things that come with that, ugh) coaching session I did at the beginning of the year. There is hope here. Ideas and suggestions. And I role play a few scenarios! Here's where to find me: falling.jill@gmail.com Weekly FLYer...

We as parents can get so wrapped up in our own experiences/emotions/circumstances and fail to recognize how events are perceived so differently from the perspective of our children. Separation and divorce are a breeding ground for these vulnerable moments that if not handled with care and attention can leave children traumatized. This episode addresses those specific moments, or milestones, and I...

Mom's, particularly working Mom's, can struggle with many things...guilt, exhaustion, fear, being spread so thin, etc. And when you have a career that takes you away from home, it's particularly tough to juggle all the balls. Nicky Espinosa has an incredible story for you today; it's a tough one to share but she's willing because of her passion to encourage working women and Mom's. She's also a ca...

This one is important to me... have you ever thought you'd like to parent differently than you were parented? Have you wondered why you aren't truly enjoying parenting like you thought you would? Have you felt triggered by things happening as you raise children and aren't sure what that's all about? Or...are you worried you are passing things down to your kids that you really want to change? I tak...

This was a blast! Johnna Grimes allows me to dig deep and ask some of the hard questions about her past, how it influences her life day to day and everything in between. We are silly and yet get down to a point of an "ah ha" moment for her as we talk through her past and find a common denominator that threads itself into where she is today. Absolutely go listen to HER podcast this week, we flip sp...

This one's a bit different folks...you will rarely hear me make reference to my dating life (wink), but for this one time, I take you on a first date I went on years ago and what I learned about first impressions, red flags, and what "safe people" look like, or not. This is a slight deviation from our typical parenting conversation, however for you single parents (or just single adults who are dat...

Struggling with your preteen/teen in the silence war? Wondering what happened to that chatty, bubbly kid that once loved watching your favorite shows together at night...now to barely get acknowledged with a nod when you ask if their homework is done? And forget conversations at dinner or the Saturday tailgating fun before football games. They're no longer interested. Say it with me....we are over...

Have you ever struggled with perfectionism? Was there ever a time where you wouldn't attempt something unless you were sure it could be done perfectly? I'll go first....it's all in this episode. You'll laugh and think I'm a nut and you'll be right but you might potentially see some of your own story there too. There are two words you need to adapt ASAP... My guaranteed to work "How To Chill the Cr...

This episode is my chronicle from a weeks worth of watching the coastline at the beach this past week. It gives--It takes away. There's a dance that offers hope for the hurting and broken. But there is also a powerful thing happening below the ocean waves and it affects us all in one way or another. Just listen...you'll need this eventually, if not already. Contact me: falling.jill@gmail.com FB:&n...

I feel like the topic of this episode is one in which will be a frequent here on this podcast. I took a little field trip to the local bookstore and left with a sadness I can't shake. Furthermore, the numbers don't lie. Listen to this episode, I suspect the numbers affect your life too in some way. Parent's, our children need us to do get this figured out. Coparenting and Step-Parenting is the har...

This episode is my conversation with author, Julie Igel. She has not only a wealth of real life knowledge and practical advice to any and all Mom's, but for those who have children who feel and sense the world differently, she is a gold mine! We talk in depth about Sensory Integration Dysfunctions...how they played a role in her daughter as well as my son. There's a ton of practical advice as to h...

This Part 2 may just be some of my favorite parts of our conversation! YOU MUST GO LISTEN TO LAST WEEKS PART 1 FOR CONTEXT... but for this episode, we each start off with telling a story of a finer Mothering moment, you will relate and probably giggle with us...you will see your own self, your own split second moment of having lost all sense of reality! Ways to connect to Sarah: http://www.faceboo...

I'm so excited to bring you this episode/conversation with author, Sarah Johnson! Her brand new book is one every Mother needs in her life...but here's the deal, this is not a book on breastfeeding (and every man just took a sigh of relief!). Sarah is a life coach (as well as many other things) and her book is written as a tool that anyone, particularly Mothers, can use to help move themselves tow...

The story of the famined wolf, it’s pack, and how we mirror their excessive behavior when we have also been famined and soul-starved, is crucial. If you are in a place of emptiness, loneliness, or significant loss—you need this story! Your decisions and a famine are more related than you may think.  Note: creative liberties for this episode have been taken with the content from the book “Wome...

You know those life changing moments?  The one’s that no matter what ails you, you’ll never forget? This is one of those.  A moment personally when my family heritage suddenly shifted from what felt like an old black and white movie—to living color.  But also an unexpected moment that wove together a thread of how we heal; from Navajo’s hundreds of years ago, to my graduate school t...

This weeks episode is a call to action! It’s done in two parts, pre-inauguration and post-inauguration. While there is not political discussions here— there is attention brought to why our national/state governments, our local executive teams, and our families are in desperate need for reevaluating what true and effective leadership really looks like. Our parenting skills and leadership skills are...

You might be tempted to skip this one after the intro... dont! If you do, you prove the point I’m actually making in this conversation. Most people are not willing to sit with this topic and consider how they may need to adjust living their life; it’s uncomfortable. However, I am deeply convicted that “living with the end in mind” is a life well lived! Give this a listen and take an honest look— y...
