Today’s guest is Sarah Parkes. Sarah is a mum of 3, a speaker, author & legacy coach. She helps coaches, therapists & healers parent consciously, whilst growing your legacy & impact.
Her vision is for our children to grow up in a world of possibility, where positive legacy creation is the norm. Where feminine and masculine qualities are equally respected and valued.
We talk about:
· Parenting with a thoughtful focus on the legacy you will leave behind (which is often tricky to envisage when you are ‘in the trenches’ with young children)
· Finding our voice to advocate for ourselves when we have children – the emergence of the lioness!
· Being present in the moment whilst also looking to the future
· Dads – and how Cycle Breaker Dads are so wonderful as they buck societal trends. Extra salute to Cycle Breaker Dads

You will learn:
· About the difference between the conscious and the subconscious
· Why we mostly don’t realise we have underlying beliefs, but they are there nevertheless

Anupa Roper joins us today. She is a positive body image advocate and author of the incredible children’s book, Sparrowlegs.
Anupa gives us four points to consider when breaking the societal and in many cases, family cycle of body shame or feeling uncomfortable in one’s body.
1. Exploring our own biases – about ourselves and other people’s bodies
2. Considering the language we use when talking about our bodies and other people’s… the children are always listening
3. Take steps to heal our relationship with food
4. Move towards body acceptance (you don’t have to necessarily love every single part of your body – sometimes that is unrealistic in the short term. But working towards acceptance can be a great first step).
You can find out more (including the blog we talked about) at: sparrowlegs.com You can buy her incredible book through her site too.

I am honoured today to interview Nicola Reekie, a PDA parent and expert who offers solution-focused therapist supporting PDA/ ASD parents with their emotional well-being & creating calm.
Conscious parenting and cycle-breaking are significant commitments in themselves… what about when additional needs and behaviours need to be considered?
Today, Nicola and I discuss:
- Neurodivergent parents and neurodivergent children and young people, especially PDA
- Navigating the school and social care systems as a loving advocate for your child (and supporting your own well-being through that process)
- Breaking the cycle if you were a neurodivergent child who didn’t feel seen, accepted for who you are or even understood… giving your child that wonderful gift (and the feelings that come up when we break cycles)
- Some practical tips for PDA parents and how to find out more in Nicola’s ground-breaking learning hub The PDA Space
You can find out more at: www.thepdaspace.com(there’s a great freebie on the first page).
And follow Nicola at The PDA Parent Space Facebook group.

Clare Ford, Expert Educator and founder of Switched ON! online academy, and I talk this week about:
- The importance of meeting children and young people where they are at, not shoe-horning them into a framework of expectations (academic or otherwise)
- What happens when we adults put children’s mental wellbeing first (spoiler: they flourish and their academics thrive too!)
- Children’s innate curiosity and sparkle… and what it’s like to nourish that
- How many adults there are walking around with ‘school wounds’ (people-pleasing, feeling ‘stupid,’ not being heard etc) who are breaking this cycle for their children by being more involved in their kids’ education and feelings around learning and schooling.

Laura Hart, artist, healer and coach, and I talk this week about:
- Flow! What it is and what it means to feel you are in flow
- How Cycle-Breaker Parents may have been sensible in tough childhoods to inhibit their sense of flow and not fully express themselves – especially if they were in survival mode at home
- And how you can break the cycle of hiding our creative sides by investing in yourself to show your children that it is safe and joyful to flow and be their creative, authentic selves.

One of my most common questions is: What do I do when I am triggered, but I still have to deal with the kids?
Here are my six steps:
1. Get safe – using whatever techniques you find the most useful. Starting with three deep belly breaths is great
2. Have a card/ sentence that centres you – something like ‘I’ve been triggered. I can get through this. I am safe.’
3. Take a moment for yourself to feel your feelings – a cuppa, a glass of water, a few breaths hiding in the bathroom…
4. LATER: journal or talk to someone about what happened. What may have set you off, and what the root cause might be
5. Using a technique like Ho’oponopono, go through the process of letting go the hurt.. or reducing its power over you
6. If all of the above still isn’t helping you, you absolutely have the right to seek professional support from a therapist.
Coaching will help you move forward with your plans and your life, whilst therapy will provide targeted, slower, deeper insight and release of emotions and memories that are deeply troubling. You deserve support. You are worthy of this gift. Everyone in your family will benefit from you seeking support.

Today, I talk about the value of our time - as parents and as busy human beings - and I share my reasons for signing up to a new (to me) app that provides child- and adult-friendly tapping meditations using EFT. The time vs money vs speed of getting the solution to my family's problem (poor sleep during lockdown) equation is discussed.
I also talk about the teenage years for family's with currently-small children, and why the relationship you have with your teens starts in their toddlerhood, and childhood years.
And finally the nature of 'action.' In this world of extremes, the small actions aren't often given the credit they deserve... drinking water, prioritising self-care time, 5 minutes of reflection at the end of the day. Actions CAN be big - such as signing up for The Turning Point (my 6-month cycle breaker mentor program, seeking therapy for your specific needs, changing your career (the woman I mention by the way is Lou Hynes, corporate escape mentor, and you can check out Podcast Episode 4 with Josh Peck about Work-Life-Balance if you want to think about that more), but the small changes over time really do add up to huge life changes.
Sign up for the next Own Your Parenthood five-day free workshop, and head on over to the Facebook group Cycle Breaker Parents Unite for more interviews, how-to guides, free training (Friday afternoons) and a community of like-minded parents.
