I teach about Emotional Expression ALL. THE. TIME!

If you're in League with me (my amazing CMP implementation program) you've heard me talk nonstop about this. Because taking the trip from Mad --> Sad is where it's at.

Today I'm taking you on a bit of a journey. I'm sharing an experience from earlier this week where I allowed myself, okay let's be honest, where I intentionally released some pretty big emotions. Better out than in, as they say!!

It brought on 24 hours of on-and-off crying, puffy eyes, a HUGE emotional release, and a nervous system reset.

I'm getting real, raw, and vulnerable today in this unscripted episode full of lots of emotion. I can't wait for you to hear it. Love you all!!!

I'm sharing practical insights on building connection with children through empathy, presence, and truly seeing and hearing them. I share one of my favorite poems of all time by John Rodel. It doesn't have a title but I call it “The Tear Catcher.” This poem captures the power of being there without trying to fix, showing how empathy can create a lasting bond between parents and kids. I'm going to share with you the Seen and Heard Approach and explain how “Stop, Drop, and Roll” can help you pause and be present, especially during emotional or challenging moments. Let's replace traditional discipline tools with practices that make children feel secure and understood.
