In this inspiring episode, I sit down with Dr. Catherine Kizanaādoctor, parent coach, and advocate for helping parents thriveāto talk about what it truly means to be a āgood enoughā parent.
Drawing on attachment research and her coaching experience, Catherine reminds us that parenting isnāt about being flawless. Itās about being present, embracing the power of repair when we make mistakes, and meeting our childrenās real needsānot 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 youāre 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 āgood enough". Yesss.

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 aggressiveāhitting, 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?
Weāre sharing our own experiences with this, including how weāve navigated hitting, kicking, and even destructive behaviour using emotional intelligence and compassion.
We go through step-by-step strategies for handling those tough momentsālike during transitions or when switching off a deviceāwhile holding firm boundaries around unsafe or hurtful actions.
We also clear up some big confusion around consequences: when theyāre helpful, when theyāre not, and why punishments and holding a grudge can actually backfire.
If youāve ever struggled to keep your cool during your childās meltdowns, this episode is full of relatable insights and practical tips to help you feel more calm and in control.

Welcome back, everyone! This week, we're diving into a topic that hits home for so many of us: how we talk about food with our kids (and perhaps even around them when we think theyāre not listening).
Iām joined by the fabulous Fiona Kane, an award-winning Nutritional Medicine Practitioner and Mind Body Eating Coach, and we explored how our words and attitudes around food can set the stage for our kidsā relationship with eating (and emotions!) - and yes, how we can keep it healthy too.
Weāll chat about the accidental ways we nudge our kids toward emotional eating (who knew?), how our own beliefs about food can rub off on them, and why asking open-ended questions can be a game-changer for a more mindful approach.
Fiona, whoās been all over Sky News Australia, 9 News, and ABC Radio, brings her practical tips on breaking habits like boredom eating and finding joy outside of foodāfor both us and the kids.
So, if youāre looking to raise happy, healthy eaters (or tackle a few food habits of your own), plug in!
This episode is packed with aha moments and doable steps to help the whole family enjoy a balanced relationship with food. I loved our conversation and I know you will too.

Today, we're pulling back the curtain on our parenting - and letās just say, it wasnāt all sunshine and Instagram-worthy moments.
This is a bunch of things we wish we knew when we first became parents...
With Alex's childhood blueprint and programming the *polar opposite* of mine, we had a lot to unlearn (and re-learn) when it came to navigating the chaos of parenthood together.
We talk about: - How giving each other space saved us from spiralling arguments. - Why you should never take your kidsā words, or your partnerās emotions, personally. - Alexās journey to taking accountability and breaking the cycle of reactive behaviour. - My struggle to ask for help and express my feelings (spoiler: it wasnāt pretty). - The power of understanding emotional hijacks and knowing when to step out of the situation- How to āstrike when the iron is cold.ā to prevent shame, blame and basically more conflict.
Weāll also explore how his upbringing (where emotions basically didn't exist) impacted our dynamic and how weāve worked to defuse problems before they explode into snapping and snowballing.
Itās real, raw, and maybe even a little uncomfortableābut if youāve ever felt like youāre failing as a parent or partner, trust us, youāre not alone. Tune in for honest lessons, practical tips, and a whole lot of heart.
Hope you guys enjoy.

Today Iām sharing an episode where I was the guest ā being interviewed by JoAnn Crohn and Brie Tucker on the No Guilt Mom podcast.
So, youāve decided you want a happier, calmer, and more connected family, eh? Well, friend, welcome to the rollercoaster ride known as āparenting with emotional intelligence.ā
Parenting often involves navigating different styles, which, being 100% honest, can sometimes feel like you and your partner are in a three-legged raceā¦on ice.
Emotional intelligence helps you understand each otherās perspectives and find common ground. Just imagine your kid having the ability to understand and manage their emotions while empathizing with others. Sounds like a dream, right?
By nurturing emotional intelligence, youāre not just preparing them for playground politics but equipping them for lifeās bigger challenges. Plus, who wouldnāt want a kid who can articulate their feelings instead of falling apart or throwing things in fits of anger?
So, if youāre dreaming of a happier, calmer, and more connected family, emotional intelligence is your secret weapon. Trust me, the journey might be bumpy, but the destination is oh-so-worth it.
Who knows, you might even become that zen parent who handles those spaghetti-throwing incidents with a smile. Now, thatās emotional intelligence at work!

I explore the different types of anxiety disorders (yes, thereās more than one!) and dig into the problematic thinking patterns that underpin and fuel anxiety. This gives you such a clear window into seeing how an anxious child thinks and perceives the world around them.
Whether youāve experienced anxiety yourself or you want to understand your kids through it, this episode is packed with insights, personal stories, and practical advice to help you build a life of calm and confidence.

In this episode of the Emotionally Intelligent Parenting Podcast, I chat with Amy Sargent, SEI Coach and Executive Director of the Institute for Social and Emotional Intelligence. Amy shares how she used emotional intelligence with her older kidsāowning her own feelings, creating space for their emotions, and still holding them accountable.
This conversation is packed with valuable insights for parents of both teens and tweens, as we explore how parenting roles shift and how emotional intelligence can help you become a supportive coach instead of a manager.
Tune in for practical tips on building strong relationships with your kids, cultivating empathy, and remembering that weāre not responsible for their emotions. Whether youāre parenting toddlers or preparing to launch your kids into adulthood, this episode is full of wisdom you wonāt want to miss!

Alex (the husband!) and I are getting real about the rollercoaster of raising kids in a world full of online games, social media, and YouTube.
We know the internet isnāt going anywhere, so instead of banning it all, we talk about finding that balance between letting our kids enjoy the digital world and keeping them safe.
We did make the decision to remove YouTube from our home, and we share why we chose to do it. But our kids do have access to computer games, Minecraft, Roblox, and so on.
Alex - whoās a big-time gamer - talks about setting smart boundaries for our kids on things like YouTube Kids and online games. His perspective as a gamer really adds a fresh angle, and heās seriously got some solid tips.
Oh, and there's a wild story from Alex about how our son decided to jump off the roof (yes, you read that right!). It was a reminder of why staying aware and tuned in is so important, no matter what your kids are up to.
We also tackle the tougher topic of online dangers, like predators, and how to talk to kids about staying safe. You absolutely NEED to give your kids the knowledge, without scaring them.
Tune in for our take on raising tech-savvy kids safelyāwithout saying ānoā to everything fun.

We chat about how we discipline our kids, handle big emotions, and why EI has strengthened our family bond.
Plus, weāll bust some common myths about emotional intelligence!

In this solo episode, Iām talking about Kids and Big Emotions: How to Dial Up Your Emotional Intelligence and Respond Calmly.
Hereās the thingābefore we can help our kids manage their emotions, we have to accept that they HAVE emotions. Emotions that are normal. Healthy. Natural. Supposed to be.
Remember when your child was learning to walk, read, or ride a bike? Did you step in and do it for them, rush them, or get annoyed when they didnāt get it right away? Or did you give them time, stay patient, and let them figure it out?!
Itās the same with emotions!
Kids need to feel their way through them in order to learn how to handle them. But we often jump in too quickly because itās uncomfortable or inconvenient to let them ride the emotional wave. The truth is, when we allow them to go through those messy feelings, weāre giving them the tools for self-regulation.
I'll tell you the one thing you can do that will completely shift how you handle things the next time your child is crying, stomping, or having a meltdown.
Iāll also be sharing a viral quote of mine that really hit home for so many parents. Ready to approach those big emotions with more calm and confidence? Letās get into it!

Talking to our kids about sex and sexuality can feel really uncomfortable, but itās a conversation we need to have (especially in this age of the INTERNET). Eek.
In this episode of the Emotionally Intelligent Parenting Podcast, Iām joined by Vanessa Hamilton, a sexuality educator with over 25 years of experience and founder of Talking the Talk Sexuality Education.
We dive into all the tricky topicsāwhen to start the conversation, how much to share, how to explain consent and boundaries, and even how to approach tough subjects like pornography.
Weāll also talk about gender differences, teaching kids the correct terminology (which can often feel confusing!), and what to say when your child doesn't want to talk because it feels awkward.
Vanessa has some fantastic, practical tips that will help make these conversations feel more natural and comfortable, no matter where you're starting from.
If you've been avoiding 'The Talk,' this episode will give you the confidence and tools to get started. You wonāt want to miss this one!
