SuperParent Syndrome's podcast

Parenting is not for the weak. Cooking, cleaning, bath time, work, driving the kids to practice, church, working out, all while keeping your sanity is no small feat. Because maybe it seems you’re caught in a juggling act, but you’re doing your best. This exists to help you thrive instead of just surviving.

At first.  If it's worth doing, don't wait til it's perfect, get it done.  The Army says that a good decision now, is WAY better than a great decision later.  

Right?  What I mean is that we get all stuck with details and trying to make things perfect when all we really need to do is jump in and correct as we go.

If it's worth doing, it's worth doing it poorly....at first.  Meaning, launch and then improve and be a fanatic about making it better.

This podcast is a perfect example.  But I have such a passion for spreading my message (because I once felt as if I was the only parent/entrepreneur struggling), that I had to just jump in.  I'm getting more confident.  Learning more about promoting it and getting more polished with the supporting materials, but it all took time and if I had tried to make it perfect right out of the gate, it never would have gotten off the ground.

Jump in and listen to find out more!  Please share!

The Notebook is one of THE top romance movies of all time.  Guaranteed to create tears and vanishing ice cream pints.  Now guys, if you love your lady you will watch this with her.  I'm not trying to guilt you but this is one of THOSE movies that has to be watched.

Ladies, don't abuse this.  In fact, enjoy some solo nights here as well.

But I digress.  The whole point of this post is that "Duke" did not read this journal where it entailed stories about their kids.  In fact, there were no stories about diapers, puke, and school projects/concerts.  That is the opposite of romantic.  And yet, it probably feels as if that is all that remains in your marriage sometimes.  What I am saying is watch this movie and focus on what made you both CRAZY in love kids.  Remember the little things you would do for each other that made each other laugh or even smile. 

Go big or go home.  Listen in for more details and please if you like this podcast leave a review or share with a friend.  Thanks!

Be careful who you delegate/outsource to; and if you do, then have a backup plan.  In fact, I should have known I was in trouble on day one, but not wanting confrontation, I let the ball drop and then two weeks went by.  I failed you dear listeners, and so here is my comeback podcast.  With warnings of creating backup plans for your own life as you masterfully delegate out time wasting tasks to others, you need to have those checks and balances and accountability.

Gary Chapman's book "The Five Love Languages" is a total game-changer when it comes to leveling up your relationships.  Whether you apply it to a spouse, child, co-worker, or client, you can really increase your impact when you show appreciation by taking a moment to figure out their love language.

I discuss each of the five love languages, ideas on how to implement this premise, and ultimately how you can test for your love language for free!

You've heard this phrase, but I expand on what it means to truly listen and to also drop the sarcasm with your loved ones, friends, and business life.  As Disney trains their employees on how to really answer questions like "What time is the three o'clock parade"?  

By dumping the sarcasm and really answering, you build a stronger bridge in your relationships.

I challenge you to really try and listen.  No more letting your mind wander, or worse, not listening because you are just waiting for them to pause to interject.

Kids are notorious for hiding "oops" and other mistakes.  I had one child that would hide their poop filled diaper if it happened at night.  Well, as adults sometimes we are guilty for hiding our poop too.  We try and hide our mistakes, when we are wrong and what we really need to do is to OWN UP TO IT!  Apologize to yourself or to someone that you've been avoiding.  Get it done and over with and stop hiding.

Make a list of your family, and think of anything you might have guilt with.  Own up to it and move on.

Now with smaller kids, you may have to say a silent apology to yourself because they may not have any idea what you're talking about.  But get it out and move on.

Good luck but I know you'll love the way you feel afterwards!

Everyone tries this.  Perhaps its our kids with bedtime or a certain chore.  Maybe it's you and taking out the trash or calling to deal with bill collectors.  Either way, we have things we have to do.  Change your mindset to "must do" and get it done and out of the way first thing.  The rest of your day will thank you.  No more worry, no more angst.  Brian Tracy talks about it in his book, "Eat That Frog" and I strongly urge you to check it out.  

Imagine if you adopt this attitude what your kids will learn from you, or your team at work.  "Eat That Frog" is a sure fire way to change your day for the better.

You can only help others feel great if you feel great.  You can only help another to the level at which you are.  Meaning, if you're stressed and/or depressed, you can only help another up to your level.  Parents, this means your kids!  As a health professional, my shame has been that physically I haven't been as healthy I should be.  I need to role model.  That's my challenge, but what is yours?  So, commit to action of what will make you feel better.  Commit to health.  I'm not talking more medications or surgery, but true honest health.

As always, our newsletter is free and sure to fire up your week.  Check it out here at www.peptalksforparents.com

This is a super short episode about a simple concept that changed the way I view resolutions forever!  Instead of adding to my list of things to do.  I freed up time and focus by creating a stop doing list.  This list can be personal items, chores, and business chores that you can quit, delegate, hire out, or re-purpose.

If you have older kids, ask them what you should stop doing.  And see what they are willing to take on.  

In business, you should only be working on that which is the most productive or making you the most money for the business. Delegate everything else.

Explicit?  Well, probably because I say this topic really pisses me off and I think I say "damn" as well.  You be the judge.

But honestly, I am so mad when it comes to this big pissing contest that happens with parenting, business, and people in general.  Life is tough enough without someone trying to hate on you.  So, if you're having success in an area, share it, but don't tear someone else down if you don't like the way they are doing something.

Play dates, mom/dad groups should be uplifting and a source of stress relief, NOT something people dread because of cliques and judging.

Release the negativity.

Think you have your priorities in check?  I discuss my biggest gut check when I found that my schedule did not reflect my so-called priorities in life.  I had no scheduled time for family and certainly not enough for my faith or fitness.  Be ready for your own gut check during this episode.

My wife, Alisha, joins me today to discuss "Mom Guilt".  In fact, she doesn't even want to be on this podcast for that very reason... because she feels like she does not deserve to share since she often feel inadequate as a parent.  Mom Guilt (which is really dad or mom guilt) is that feeling like you never do enough, you're failing as a parent, or even the guilt with taking time for yourself.

Listen in today to get real and authentic as we tackle the demons within.

Did you get a coach?  Or an accountability partner?  Why not!?!  Here we discuss how your current social circle or family is most likely keeping you in your tiny insignificant "box" and how you need to break free - it will change your life!

Mar 31, 2016

Who do you have that is going to tell you how things are?  No sugar coating, no being easy on you, but is going to push you to new heights?

Why is it that the BEST in every profession has a coach (when they themselves could in fact coach), it's because they know they can always improve.  It's not being weak to ask for help, it's a sign of strength!

Choose one of your top 5 goals and commit to finding a coach or accountability partner (not living in your house or your bestie) - that will commit to pushing you higher than you even known.

How can you CHOOSE your day?  Is it possible to actually decide how good or how bad your day is going to be?  We discuss today that by adding in a few moments of appreciation, that you can sway your day towards abundance.  1.  Before your feet hit the floor, do two minutes of gratitude.  2.  thank you cards - clients, family, friends --> imagine if you got a card, how would you feel?  3.  Verbalize - Say it out loud!!!!

Time is a wastin' - are you sucked in to social media, waiting in line, stuck in traffice, dealing with the wrong type of clients, so called emergencies that could be handled by other members of your team, etc.  The list goes on and on, and it's distracting us from what is really important.  It's taking us away from opportunity.  It's time for a mind detox and to get present with your loved ones and especially with yourself.

It doesn't matter who you are; disaster will strike.  And do with without regards to age, race, or status.  So what are you going to do.  We discuss "torpedoes happen" because the bigger the ship, the more likely you're gonna have a torpedo hit.  As Mike Tyson has been quoted, "Everyone has a plan until they get hit in the face".  Kids and adults alike, we all have our challenges.  Also, make sure to check out:  www.peptalkforparents.com for more tip and helpful resources including our newsletter!

Religious or not - you were born to be the absolute best you can be.  And your kids take that to another level.  It's time for you to accept that truth and play bigger.  You're gonna love your homework this week - its going to change your family forever!

Date night is not just for married people!  Whether it's yourself, your kids, or perhaps a bestie, date night is a MUST to invest fully into a relationship.  A couple of rules: make it a regular ritual.  Get out of the house.  Do NOT go over the top, keep it simple.  Date night does not equal sex night.  Get out of your routine!  Check out www.peptalkforparents.com for our free newsletter.

We need to embrace the journey of the struggle.  Watching our kids learn to walk should remind us of just what we are capable of doing.  Do not be seduced by how easy things look, but embrace failing as a learning opportunity.  Our kids need to see this from us, because they are living it as well.  Let them fail, let them struggle, and yes help them and comfort them, but don't steal their success and struggle from them.  Arm them for the future.
