    She Dreaded 3pm Every Day — What Her Child with ADHD Taught Her About Parenting — EFFT Therapist Katharina Sandizell

    In this episode Michelle sits down with Katharina Sandizell — Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, ICEEFT Certified EFT Therapist and Supervisor across Couples, Individuals, and Families, and Certified AEDP therapist — for one of the most clinically rich and personally honest conversations on the podcast. They explore what is really happening inside parents when parenting gets hard, what the research tells us about how emotions actually move through children and adults when they feel safe, and what repair looks like in real family life — not the concept, but the words, the moment, the breath.In this episode you'll learn:Why your biggest parenting reactions are almost never really about what is happening in front of youThe wave of emotion — why feelings move through in just 2 to 5 minutes when a child feels held and not aloneHow to recognize the early signs that your nervous system is being hijacked by something older than this momentThe inner child practice that parents can use before bed, in the morning, and eventually in the moment itselfWhat spirited, highly sensitive, and ADHD children most need from their parents — and why it is not what we thinkWhat repair actually sounds like — including when years have gone by and the guilt feels enormousWhy our hardest parenting moments have the potential to be genuine agents of healing — for us and for our childrenTopics: Emotionally Focused Family Therapy · EFFT · AEDP · parenting ADHD children · highly sensitive child · spirited child · parent emotional regulation · parenting triggers · yelling and parenting shame · inner child work for parents · self-compassion for parents · repair after conflict · parent burnout · gentle parenting · peaceful parenting · conscious parenting · attachment parenting · parenting and trauma · RAIN practice · wave of emotionGuest: Katharina is certified with the International Center for Excellence in Emotionally Focused Therapy (ICEEFT) as an Emotionally Focused Therapist and Supervisor.

    What It Really Takes to Go From Reactive to Regulated — Guest Sarah Rosensweet

    You believe in peaceful parenting. You’ve done the reading.You know that connection comes before correction, that empathy matters, that your child’s behavior is a signal—not a problem.And then the moment comes… and none of it is accessible to you.If that gap between knowing and doing feels like the story of your parenting life, this episode is going to land somewhere important.Michelle sits down with Sarah Rosensweet—certified peaceful parenting coach, founder of Reimagine Peaceful Parenting, host of the top-rated Peaceful Parenting Podcast, and a mom of three whose children have genuinely grown up with this philosophy—to get honest about what peaceful parenting actually requires.Not the theory. The real, inside work that makes the theory possible to use when it counts.Sarah has spent over a decade coaching thousands of parents through this exact gap. She brings both deep practical wisdom and the long view that only comes from having parented all the way through.In this episode, you’ll learn: Why peaceful parenting is an inside job—and how that reframes the search for the “right” technique  What’s really happening neurologically and emotionally when you can’t access your calm in the moment  What needs to shift internally for regulation to become lasting—not just available on good days  The fear underneath a non-punitive approach—and how to hold empathy and limits at the same time  What Sarah knows now after raising three children that she couldn’t have known in the early years  What she would say to the parent who feels miles away from who they want to be Topics:peaceful parenting · gentle parenting · conscious parenting · parenting triggers · emotional regulation for parents · reactive parenting · mom rage · parenting shame · connection over control · non-punitive parenting · parenting burnout · yelling and parenting · attachment parenting · inside-out parenting · Hand in Hand Parenting · Janet Lansbury · Dr. Laura MarkhamGuest:Sarah Rosensweet Certified peaceful parenting coach Founder, Reimagine Peaceful Parenting🎙️ The Peaceful Parenting Podcast 🌐 reimaginepeacefulparenting.com 📱 Instagram: @sarahrosensweet 📝 Substack: sarahrosensweet.substack.com🎓 Ready to go deeper?Yelling to Connecting — Michelle’s 6-week online parenting course for parents who understand the work but need support applying it in real life.✨ Free Guided Pause + Regroup: [your link] 🌐 compassionateheartmindfullife.comThis content is for educational purposes only and is not a substitute for professional mental health treatment.

    Emotionally Focused Family Therapy: What Your Child Is Really Asking for When They Fall Apart — Kathryn de Bruin & Ronda Evans

    When your child is at their most dysregulated — melting down, shutting down, pushing you away — the moment they need you most is also the moment it's hardest to be present. Why does that happen? And what does it actually take to become the safe place your child is reaching for?In this episode Michelle sits down with two of the most experienced Emotionally Focused Family Therapy clinicians working with families today. Kathryn de Bruin is an ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainer, registered Play Therapy Supervisor, and co-host of The Family Therapy Express Podcast. Ronda Evans is an EFT Supervisor, co-host of The Family Therapy Express Podcast, and published children's book author whose books — A Jumble of Thoughts and A Tangle of Feelings and The Big Scary Moment — help families navigate big emotions together in everyday moments.Together, Kathryn and Ronda bring the full depth of Emotionally Focused Family Therapy to a conversation about what children are really communicating when their behavior is at its most challenging — and what parents need to understand about their own internal world to be able to respond with steadiness and connection rather than reactivity.In this episode you'll learn:The core EFFT reframe: why your child's meltdown, power struggle, or withdrawal is an attachment signal — a reaching for you — even when it looks like the oppositeHow the way you were raised shows up in your responses to your child's big feelings — and what shifts when you recognize that patternWhy play is not just a fun activity but a genuine clinical tool for healing and strengthening the parent-child bondWhat Ronda's children's books offer families in the ordinary moments of everyday life — and what happens between parent and child when they read them togetherWhat a genuinely resilient and connected family looks like — and the signs you're moving toward it even when it doesn't feel that wayWhat Kathryn and Ronda would say to the parent who keeps missing the moments that matter and can't seem to get there when it countsTopics: Emotionally Focused Family Therapy · EFFT · Emotionally Focused Therapy for families · child attachment · attachment parenting · parent-child connection · child meltdowns · big emotions in children · emotional regulation for parents · play therapy · children's books about emotions · parenting triggers · gentle parenting · peaceful parenting · conscious parenting · family resilience · parent burnout · connection over control · parenting shameGuests: Kathryn de Bruin, LMFT — ICEEFT Certified EFT Trainer & Play Therapy Supervisor 🌐 kathryndebruin.comRonda Evans, LMFT — EFT Supervisor & Children's Book Author 📚 A Jumble of Thoughts and A Tangle of Feelings· The Big Scary Moment 🌐 re2therapy.com🎙️ The Family Therapy Express Podcast — find it wherever you listen🎓 Ready to go deeper?

    Your Parent Guilt Is Not Evidence You're Failing — Here's What It's Really Telling You"

    Join Michelle, fellow parent, Mom of 3, and recovering yeller, in uncovering what we, as parents, need to parent peacefully, where we get stuck & why.Parent guilt is one of the most universal experiences in parenting — and one of the most misunderstood. In this episode, Michelle makes a distinction that could change everything: guilt about a specific behavior — I yelled this morning and I wish I hadn't — is healthy and informative. But the chronic, low-grade guilt most parents carry — the constant sense of never being enough, always falling short — is something different entirely.Michelle shares the story of the Sunday morning she almost went to yoga, didn't, and ended up resentful — and the moment she realized her guilt was quietly running the show in a way that was hurting her and her family. She walks through exactly what chronic parent guilt is really signaling, why fear is usually underneath it, and how to use a simple inquiry practice to turn guilt from a punishment into a compass.In this episode you'll learn: - Why the most guilt-ridden parents are often the most devoted ones - The guilt-to-resentment cycle — and how to break it - The three things chronic guilt is almost always pointing to: an unmet need, a violated value, or grief for the parent you hoped to be - The guilt inquiry practice: 3 steps to get curious instead of consumed - How to read guilt as data rather than verdictTopics: parent guilt · mom guilt · dad guilt · parenting shame · parent burnout · self-compassion for parents · parenting anxiety · gentle parenting · emotional regulation for parents · Brené Brown · peaceful parenting · conscious parenting · parenting and emotions · emotionally focused family therapy Want to learn with Michelle: Learning about attachment in my work as an Emotionally Focused Therapist, reading Dr. Laura Markham’s, Dr. Daniel Siegel’s books, and finding Hand in Hand parenting all solidified my commitment to parent peacefully.There was just one problem.  It felt impossible at times.  When my kids were small, I was easily overwhelmed. Not only did I find it difficult to parent peacefully or playfully, but also I found myself in an awful yelling pattern.I climbed my way out of parent burnout, depression, and anxiety using the tools I share here.I help parents find their inner calm and balance so they can parent peacefully and with confidence.Work with MichelleIf you know …• you are tired of trying to do it all alone.• or through sheer willpowerJoin fellow parents who …• Prioritize their relationships with their children• By using gentle parenting methods• But also sometimes get stuckLearn and grow with Michelle in …Yelling to Connecting (7-week online parenting course)• Grounded in science• Teaching principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy, mindfulness, and self-compassion• Find and uproot blocks to responding with calm, loving limits• Focusing on strengthening your connection with your child(ren)• Finally yell less and connect moreA Reminder: This content is intended for educational purposes only and should not be used as a replacement for private psychotherapy services.

    Why You Can’t “Fix” Your Emotions (another way)

    "I’ll give you something to cry about." Most of us grew up with messages telling us that our emotions were problems to be solved or inconveniences to be hidden. Even as a seasoned therapist, I fell into the trap of trying to "muscle through" my toughest parenting moments—until it led to total burnout.In today’s episode, I’m pulling back the curtain on a personal story of losing my cool and finding my way back through the RAIN practice.
