  • 65: Good Enough Parenting: Letting Go of Perfection and Comparison with Dr. Catherine Kizana

    65: Good Enough Parenting: Letting Go of Perfection and Comparison with Dr. Catherine Kizana
    Dec 15 2024
    In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Dr. Catherine Kizana—doctor, parent coach, and advocate for helping parents thrive—to talk about what it truly means to be a “good enough” parent.
    Drawing on attachment research and her coaching experience, Catherine reminds us that parenting isn’t about being flawless. It’s about being present, embracing the power of repair when we make mistakes, and meeting our children’s real needs—not the ones we think we should meet.
    We also tackle one of the biggest traps parents fall into: comparison.
    Catherine shares how to stop comparing your inner struggles to the perfect-looking lives of others on social media and start focusing on what really matters in your family.
    If you’re tired of the constant pressure to do more, be more, and keep up, this episode will help you step back, breathe, and parent from a place of connection and confidence.
    Tune in now to take the first step in letting go of comparison and embracing the messy, beautiful journey of being “good enough". Yesss.

  • 64: When Meltdowns Turn Physical: How to Handle Hitting, Throwing, Kicking, And Keeping Your Cool

    64: When Meltdowns Turn Physical: How to Handle Hitting, Throwing, Kicking, And Keeping Your Cool
    Dec 8 2024

    This episode is inspired by a really thoughtful comment from a listener on our last episode over on YouTube.


    They asked about one of the toughest parenting challenges: how to handle meltdowns when your child gets physically aggressive—hitting, kicking, or even breaking things.


    Parenting through aggression and meltdowns is arguably the hardest thing we face.


    Alex (the husband's back!) and I dive into the question from a listener: How do you handle it when a child melts down and gets physically aggressive?


    We’re sharing our own experiences with this, including how we’ve navigated hitting, kicking, and even destructive behaviour using emotional intelligence and compassion.


    We go through step-by-step strategies for handling those tough moments—like during transitions or when switching off a device—while holding firm boundaries around unsafe or hurtful actions.


    We also clear up some big confusion around consequences: when they’re helpful, when they’re not, and why punishments and holding a grudge can actually backfire.


    If you’ve ever struggled to keep your cool during your child’s meltdowns, this episode is full of relatable insights and practical tips to help you feel more calm and in control.

  • 63: Out of Spoons: Your Key to Finally Understand Your Kids’ (or Partner’s) Baffling Behaviour!

    63: Out of Spoons: Your Key to Finally Understand Your Kids’ (or Partner’s) Baffling Behaviour!
    Dec 4 2024

    The one idea that was REVOLUTIONARY in my marriage and parenting - how to not take behaviour personally, how to avoid conflict and resentment, how to let go of feeling like your partner is being lazy... and so much more.


    If you've ever felt like you’re running on empty, or wonder why your kids hit a wall in the afternoons... tune into this episode of The Emotionally Intelligent Parenting Podcast. I'm digging into Spoon Theory - a simple yet powerful way to understand and manage our energy and capacity.


    We’ll talk about how you and your partner can support each other on those low-energy days, how to help your kids recognise their limits, and why this metaphor can make a big difference in your family’s day-to-day life. If you’ve ever wished for a better way to explain why everyone needs a break sometimes, this one’s for you!


    Psst! Looking for more tools to thrive as a parent?


    My self-paced online courses are here to help! From raising emotionally intelligent kids to decoding challenging behaviours, they’re packed with practical strategies to make parenting easier.

Honest, real, topics that moved me deeply

I really enjoy Stephanie's easy to understand, conversational style. I like how she shares personal stories from parenting her own 2 kids. Stephanie's practical advice on how to diffuse a meltdown I could really relate to with my youngest.
The latest 2 episodes are especially good, parent burnout, that is a real issue and the latest podcast episode 7 is my favourite so far, "The words you wish you heard as a child". This one moved me deeply, I felt it close to my heart as my Love Language (Gary Chapman) is Words of Affirmation. This episode hit home and definitely brought up emotions, keep them coming my EQ is rising with each episode, thankyou. I cant recommend enough, listening to Emotionally Intelligent Parenting with Stephanie Pinto - your kids will thankyou for it ;-)
