Show Notes
Hey, hey friend! Welcome to Episode #54 of The Secrets of Supermom Show!
I want you to close your eyes and picture this (as long as you aren’t driving or on a run or manning heavy machinery…in that case eyes OPEN):
- You start your month stress-free because you already planned out all the most important parts of your life
- Each week you plan out your perfect week knowing that you will stay consistent and accountable to YOU
- You create a life where you actually have more time to do the things you love
- You have personal productivity systems in place that make you a happier and more present mom
- Each month you learn new ways to uplevel your parenting in ways you never honestly thought possible
- And you are doing it all with a group of amazing women who totally have your back and totally want to see you succeed!
I believe that an intentional plan, productivity strategy, and a little parenting magic will change your life. I believe it so much that I created The Supermom Society with moms just like you in mind.
The Supermom Society is the only membership of its kind that combines productivity with parenting so you can get more done in less time to spend it on the things [and tiny humans] you love most.
The Supermom Society is a private community for busy moms that want to do more in less time. Get strategies, community, clarity, and all the support you need to be a positive, present mom and a productive human in whatever life brings to the table. Each month you will walk away with a plan for your next month (and even next quarter and year), new time management and parenting skills, and all your questions answered by a group of moms who are ready to beat burnout and stay happy in the process.
I can’t wait to show you what it’s like to have more time, less stress, and a community to hold you up. Head to www.thesupermomsociety.com for all the details!
Does positive parenting like a buzzword to you? Do you want to feel like a present, and positive mom but your buttons get pushed and it’s all over? Do you think you are just too stressed to be a happy mom?
We want to support and love our children as we raise them into amazing humans. But…where do we start? Where do we start especially if we feel like things are not going nearly as well as we hoped?

Today we talk about why it is never too late to make changes as a parent, how to build up confidence as a parent, how your values impact your parenting decisions, and even how to talk to your partner when you don’t totally agree on the parenting plan.
I am super excited to welcome Debbie to the show.
Positive Parenting
Today we discuss…
- Why it is NEVER too late to become a better, more positive parent
- What it means to be positive parenting
- The biggest challenge for parents right now
- Why not trusting yourself as a parent knocks down your overall confidence
- The importance of paying attention and using “genuine encounter moments”
- How parents can miss little behavior cues in their children when they are distracted and busy
- How being a better parent can make you a better leader, partner, and human
- What does it mean to “parent with the end in mind”
- Deciding your most important values and decide how you teach that to your children
- Are you deciding on values but then modeling the exact opposite behaviors?
- Choosing your critical values and letting go of the less important to prevent power struggles
- Allowing autonomy and actually giving chances for responsibility so your children can rise to the challenge
- Your job as a parent to “work yourself out of a job” by teaching your children life skills
- Creating a “family team”
- How to deal with parenting disagreements between you and your partner
- Why there is often a “too kind parent” and a “too firm parent” and what to do about it (it is NOT what you think, y’all!)
- Boundaries = Safety = LOVE
- Becoming close and connected as a family, even if you aren’t there now
- A quick way to reduce stress and rush immediately (but, you are not going to believe it!)
