  • This is a webinar I did for parents for the School of Human Kind. There are ways that we can empower our children so they do not see themselves as victims in bullying situations. These ways will give confidence and tools to our kids to handle any bullying situation.

    When we empower our children, we are actually giving them the ways they can protect themselves in their lives.

    Let's empower our children in bullying.

  • This episode is from the School of Human Kind Webinar I did last month.

    When we have unrealistic expectations ofour kids, it can cause conflict in our families.

    Why do we have unrealistic expectations? How do these expectations affect our kids? How can we change our unrealistic expectations so we have healthy expectations instead?

    These are the questions I answer in this webinar.

    Hope this helps you in your parenting.

  • When we look back on our childhood, as parents, we may realize that there were things that we needed emotionally from our parents that we didn’t get.

    This is childhood pain.

    It is a hurt from our childhood that wasn’t healed and that we carry into our adult lives. Childhood pain can take many forms and come in varying degrees. When we don’t acknowledge and heal the pain from our childhoods, these pains will show up in our parenting. We know that our childhood pain is showing up in our parenting when we are struggling in our parenting role.

    In this webinar, we will learn the signs that our childhood pain is getting in the way of becoming the parents we are meant to be.

  • Masha Bobo is a new authour of ReKindle, Your Path from Burnout to Erupting with Passion and Purpose.

    Emigrating from the former Soviet Union as a child, Masha embraced her dreams of building her dream life in the land of the free and the home of the brave. After earning a Bachelor of Business Administration at the University of Colorado at Denver, she became a resilient business owner, navigated the challenges of divorce, and embraced single motherhood.

    Leaping into the healthcare world while earning a Master's in Healthcare Administration at Colorado State University, she faced the deathly tango of her third burnout that spanned her onto medical leave.

    The so-called American Dream quickly turned into a nightmare during which she rediscovered her relationship with Jesus and embraced her purpose and passion of spreading awareness of the unrecognized burnout.
