Join us as we interview Mell from the Strong Family Co all about their 7 Elements of the Strong Family Path. We zone into a couple of the 7 elements with Mell and can't wait for you to listen and hear all about them!
Joe & Mell have been married for 16 years and are raising 3 boys, ages 5, 11 and 13. Joe was a teacher turned entrepreneur who realized he was spending more time on his work than on his family life. Mell was a social worker turned stay at home mom. In 2020, they decided to move 2000 miles from home to a place better aligned with their family values in order to refocus on the most important organization in their lives: family!
It was an inspiring conversation and we hope you enjoy it as much as we did.
Be sure to follow Mell and Joe on all of their social media

Do you have a child who resists change when it comes to their sleep schedule? Traveling, going off track etc...
Or perhaps you have anxiety about throwing them off of their schedule because you have worked so hard on establishing healthy sleep and don't want to go back to the beginning!
One of the reasons why we work on sleep is so that we CAN enjoy some of life's fun moments. Going on a day trip. going to a cottage, going to birthday parties, playdates and more.
At the beginning of this off track sleep, your little one may not be flexible to the changes and it may not go well. Pam and I want to share how we can build that flexibility in our children.

Join Elisa and Pam with special guest Jennifer Taun RSW, MSW for this week's episode on parenting through our values vs through fears. What guides our parenting?Are we managing situations the way we want to be with our children? Are we parenting and reacting out of fear of what this behaviour may bring in the future?
Parenting out of fear can sometimes trigger us and create a situation where we over react. It happens.. but what can we do so it doesn't happen as often, how do come back from with our children? Most importantly, how do we parent in the present through our values and what we want to extend to our children vs through fear of the future and the what if's?

We are so excited to have Jenn Taun RSW back and joining us for this episode where we talk all about Anger and Parenting. Is anger always a bad thing? Have a listen and find out, you may be surprised!
Jenn has been an instrumental part of our team and we know you'll love what she has to say about this topic as much as we did. Parenting is hard and anger is a natural human emotion. Yes we may strive for being the most patient parent and always be open to listening and being present but sometimes, it just doesn't happen. What happens then when we lose our cool or flip our lids?
Have a listen and join our FB group to keep the conversation going! And be sure to stay tuned as we have some great upcoming topics with Jenn!
To find out more about Jenn and her services visit her website and of course if you need any sleep and parenting support, reach out to Elisa and Pam for your free 15 minute consultation and let's get started!
Thanks for listening!

One of the biggest questions that we get when it comes to the transition into childcare is...Do I have to Sleep Coach before my baby begins?
This can cause a lot of extra stress and anxiety for parents if they do not want to do this. Having an open discussion with your childcare provider is the first step to find out what they suggest and what they will be doing in care to teach independent sleep. (Which methods they will use.) You can then decide if you would like to help your child learn this skill beforehand. In this podcast, we chat about your options and some of our experiences in the childcare field.
If you are ready for sleep coaching and don't want to tackle it on your own, we are here! We have a few different programs to help you teach this skill with confidence and consistency. You need to find a method that you are most comfortable and that is exactly what we help with!
