Ep #220 Your Emotional Range
I had a coaching call recently with a mom who was stuck in the exhausting cycle of yelling, feeling guilty, and then yelling again. Right in the middle of our session something clicked for her, and I thought, everyone needs to hear this. Here's what shifted everything: what if instead of trying…

Ep #219 Acceptance Takes Effort
Acceptance is one of those words that sounds soft but is actually some of the hardest work you'll ever do. I know because I've lived it, including a moment sitting across from my husband at dinner where I had to stop mid-conversation, cover my mouth with my hands, and just breathe through...
-
Ep #218 Let Them Hate You
This episode is personal. I spent years letting people live rent free in my brain, specifically a few women who had once been my closest friends and then made it very clear they didn't like me. I was destroyed by it. I tried everything to get them to like me again. It never worked. What came out…

Ep #217 What The Behavior Is Telling You
When one of my daughters was refusing to go to bed every single night, my first instinct was to fix it. But when I paused and actually got curious about what was going on, she told me she was scared to be alone. Her behavior wasn't defiance. It was fear. That's what this episode is about. Over…
more -
Ep #216 The Uses of Regret
Regret shows up often in parenting, but it doesn’t have to keep us stuck. In this episode, I explore how regret can become a tool for growth instead of a weapon we use against ourselves. We’ll talk about the difference between regret that leads to learning and regret that keeps us spinning, how…
more -
Ep #215 The Cost of Becoming
Every season of growth asks something of us. In this episode, I’m talking about self-doubt, not as a problem to fix, but as a signal that you’re stretching into your next level. Whether it’s parenting, personal growth, or the work of becoming who you’re meant to be, doubt often shows up right...
-
Ep #214 A Hard Day’s Night
What if there’s no such thing as a hard day? In this episode, I explore how we unknowingly assign meaning to our days, and how that meaning shapes how we feel, how we show up, and who we become. I talk about why discouragement and self-doubt aren’t signs that something has gone wrong, but signals...
-
Ep #213 Signal, Not Defiance
When kids go “off track,” it’s easy to see the behavior as disrespect, defiance, or a problem that needs fixing. In this episode, I reframe behavior as information, a signal from a dysregulated nervous system, not a character flaw. You’ll learn: What off-track behavior is actually telling you Why...
-
Ep #212 Discomfort Is the Teacher
In today’s episode of the Connect Method Parenting Podcast, we’re talking about embodying emotions. NOT just noticing them, NOT just allowing them, but fully living inside the emotional experience while simultaneously creating from the end in mind. I’m sharing ten lessons I’ve learned about...
-
Ep #211 Mood vs State
It’s not your mood that creates the life you want. It’s your state. Your way of being. Your identity. The assumptions you live and act from every single day. In this episode, we explore why chasing the right mood or the perfect plan doesn’t work, and what actually creates lasting change instead....
-
Ep #210 Defeat
Most parents don’t say they feel defeated. They say they’re overwhelmed. They say nothing is working. They wonder what’s wrong with them. In this episode, I talk about what defeat actually is and why it feels so intense in parenting and marriage. We separate facts from meaning. We stop making...
-
Ep #209 Weakness
“Weakness simply means your capacity is lower than what the moment requires.” I recorded this episode in the middle of a full, emotional, end-of-year season. The kind where you want to soak up every moment with your kids, make the holidays meaningful, and still somehow hold it all together… while...
-
Ep #208 When Emotions Hurt
When emotions hurt, most of us go straight into fix-it mode. We try to shut it down, numb it out, control our kids, or control the moment. But in this episode, Andee shares why the goal isn’t to eliminate “negative” emotions. The goal is to move through them so they can actually complete and...
-
Ep #207 Low vs High Quality Problems
This week we are diving into a concept that has completely changed the way I move through my life. It is the difference between low quality problems and high quality problems. Once you learn this, you cannot unsee it. Over the last eighteen months I have been in a season packed with transitions....
-
Ep #206 Gratituding and It Doesn’t Get Better Than This
This week, we are exploring what it really means to practice gratituding in the moment you are in. I’ll show you how shifting out of “life will feel better when…” into “this moment matters right now” can change your entire emotional experience. Together, we will look at why it doesn’t get better...
-
Ep #205 Uncertainty Tolerance
This week, I'm talking about one of the most important emotional skills we can build as parents. I call it Uncertainty Tolerance. After a long Thanksgiving trip, a shut-down freeway, a surprise snowstorm, and a mountain of homemade pies, I found myself thinking about how much of parenting happens...
-
Ep #204 You Can’t Teach What You Can’t Feel
In this episode, we’re talking about something that sits at the heart of connected parenting: your emotional capacity. Your ability to feel your own emotions directly shapes how you help your children navigate theirs. I’m sharing the exact moment a client realized why she kept snapping at her…
more -
Ep #203 The Questions Quietly Running Your Parenting
In this episode, I’m diving into something you probably didn’t realize is shaping your parenting every single day…the quiet questions running in the background of your brain. Most parents think the problem is their kids’ behavior. But so much of what we experience as “hard parenting moments”…
more -
Ep #202 Redeciding: Tiny Choices That Change Everything
In this episode, we’re talking about one of the most powerful tools you already have but probably aren’t using enough: redeciding. Redeciding is the moment you pause, question the default, and choose again—on purpose. It’s how you reinvent yourself, your parenting, your routines, and your...
-
Ep #201 Pivot Live: The Power of Showing Up Weekly
The people who transform their lives? They're not smarter than you. They're not more motivated. They're not reading more books or listening to more podcasts. They're the ones showing up every single week to get coached on their real life. Here's what I've discovered after seven years of teaching...
-
Ep #200 Fight-or-Flight Club (Rule #1: We Actually Leave)
This episode is one I've been wanting to do for a while because thought work is truly the foundation of everything we do in Connect Method Parenting. And I know "thought work" might sound intimidating or like some woo-woo concept, but I promise you—it's the most practical, life-changing tool you...
-
Ep #199 The Traffic Director
Today we’re talking about what it really means to guide your child through big emotions. Not fix them. Not rush them. Just guide them. Think of yourself as the traffic director for your child’s emotions. You’re not trying to stop the traffic. You’re not trying to control it. You’re there to help…
more -
Ep #198 Roots of Attachment
Today we are talking about one of my favorite topics ever, the roots of attachment. Nature’s answer to separation is not independence. It is connection. Deep, steady, invisible roots that help our kids and us hold on even when we are apart. In this episode, I talk about the six layers of…
more -
Ep #197 The Discipline of Belief
We talk a lot about emotions, regulation, and connection—but underneath all of it is belief. What we believe about ourselves, our kids, and what’s possible determines everything that follows. In this episode, I dive into the discipline of belief—the conscious, daily practice of choosing thoughts...
-
Ep #196 In Weakness, There’s Strength
This week we’re talking about weakness. The parts of us we try to hide, fix, or wish away. But what if weakness isn’t bad? What if it’s actually where our strength grows? In this episode, I talk about how being hard on yourself never helps, how to see your weak spots with kindness, and why loving...
-
Ep #195 Attachment: Our Preeminent Need
If attachment (or togetherness) is the ultimate need, then facing separation is the ultimate threat. Wild, right? In this episode, I’m diving into what that really means, why connection is the invisible gravity holding us (and our kids) together, and how the brain’s built-in systems for pursuit,...
-
Ep #194 Mad to Sad: The Hidden Path to Emotional Maturity
This is one of my favorite topics to teach: the powerful emotional journey from mad to sad. In this episode, I talk about what Dr. Gordon Neufeld calls the path of adaptation, the incredible shift from frustration and resistance to sadness and surrender. I’ll walk you through the “traffic circle”...
-
Ep #193 Connection in the Mess: How to Stay With Your Child Through It All
Parenting isn’t tidy. It’s muddy, unpredictable, and sometimes really uncomfortable. In this episode, I’m talking about what it means to come alongside your child, especially when their choices, emotions, or beliefs stretch you in ways you didn’t expect. We’ll explore how to stay close when...
-
Ep #192 BE Goals
What if everything you've been doing to become a better parent has been backwards? In this raw, real episode, I share a powerful revelation from my kitchen reorganization weekend (and a real-time call from my sick daughter) that changes everything about how we approach parenting goals. You'll...
-
Ep #191 Ten Ideas That Change Everything
I've shared these ideas across 100+ episodes, but I wanted them all in one place. These are the concepts that make Connect Method Parenting different, the foundation of everything we do inside League and what I teach on this podcast. I'm going through them fairly quickly in this episode, so if…
more -
Ep #190 Compassionate Alpha Parenting: Sturdy and Kind
What does it mean to be a compassionate alpha as a parent? It’s not about being harsh or domineering, and it’s not about being passive or permissive either. It’s about finding that steady, sturdy ground between strength and warmth. In this episode, I unpack the term Compassionate Alpha (learned...
-
Ep #189 Parenting From the Inside Out: Be First, Do Second, Have Lasting Change
Most parenting advice skips straight to tactics: new charts, new scripts, new strategies. And for a while, they might work. But if you’ve ever thought, “Why did I yell again? Why did I get so frustrated even though I promised I wouldn’t?”—you’ve bumped into the truth: behavior is downstream of...
-
Ep #188 From Needy to Steady: The Power of Giving Attention
Most of us don’t realize it, but we slip into getting attention from our kids — measuring our worth by their cooperation, moods, or so-called “good behavior.” When they listen, help out, or show up happy, we feel validated. When they resist, melt down, or push back, we question ourselves. In this...
-
Ep #187 I Clicked a Button and an AI Summarized CMP (…and it’s good)
Today’s vibe: totally different—and kind of wild. I pressed a little “Create audio summary” button inside NotebookLM (after loading my CMP book + Pivot material), and it generated a 20-minute conversation distilling Connect Method Parenting using only my sources. I listened and thought: ok…
more -
Ep #186 Parenting on Fire? Stop, Drop, and Roll
Today I'm sharing a live workshops where we dive deep into the very first step of Seen and Heard, the "See" part. And not just seeing the behavior or the chaos or the mess (because let's be honest, our brains love to laser focus on the problem), but actually SEEING our kids. The humans behind the...
-
Ep #184 Acceptance: The Wildest Flex
What if I told you that the secret to becoming an unshakeable parent isn't getting your kids to behave better, it's learning to live in complete acceptance of however they show up?! Would you believe me??? Today, we're diving deep into what might be the most radical parenting mindset shift you'll...
-
Ep #183 Let Them Not Like You: You’ll Like You More
Are you willing to allow people not to like you because you're so committed to being yourself? This episode is for all the people-pleasers who are exhausted from trying to be everyone's favorite. Andy gives you permission to let people not like you and shows you why this is the key to actually...
-
Ep #182 I Love You and There's Nothing You Can Do About It
It's 8:30 AM, a jackhammer is going FULL THROTTLE outside my window for the third hour straight, and I'm over here typing about unconditional love. But that obnoxious jackhammer just gave my entire family the perfect real-time lesson in how our thoughts create our reality. One daughter felt...
-
Ep #181 Accept It Like You Chose It: Why Acceptance Isn’t Giving Up
What if I told you that acceptance - the thing you think means "giving up" - actually requires MORE effort than fighting? And what if this one shift could stop your parenting triggers in their tracks? Hey parents! I'm giving myself high fives over here because this episode is going to blow your...
-
Ep #180 Emergency Landing: What to Do When You're About to Lose It
I’m standing in my kitchen, staring at the mess, kids bickering in the background, and my brain is screaming, “We’re going down!” You know those moments when you’re about to lose it, when correction mode feels inevitable, and you just want to eject out of the whole parenting gig for five minutes?...
-
Ep #179 Honestly! It Doesn't Get Any Better Than This (And That's Actually Amazing)
I woke up this morning to the most incredible thunderstorm (which got me up way too early, thanks Mother Nature), and instead of being grumpy about it, I had this wild thought: "What if I just recorded that podcast episode I've been marinating on?" Today we're diving into a concept that literally...
-
Ep #178 It's a Write-OFF!: Why Your Parenting Failures Are Actually Your Success Strategy
Picture this: You've just had the most beautiful vision for your afternoon. Snacks are prepped, your nervous system is regulated, and you're ready to welcome your kids home with the kind of calm connection that makes parenting books weep with joy. Then reality shows up. Your 5-year-old melts down...
-
Ep #177 Throwing Everyone Under the Bus: How I Learned to Stop Blaming My Kids for My Emotional Meltdowns
I'm three days away from a family vacation, and my house looks like it got into a fight with a tornado... and lost. There are Amazon boxes everywhere (because apparently we ALL forgot "essential" items), laundry covering every surface, and yesterday? Our dog got skunked. Because OF COURSE. But...
-
Ep #176 Net Gains: Turning Regret Into Your Best Parenting Asset
Ever find yourself lying in bed at night, replaying every parenting moment that went sideways that day? Yeah, me too. For years, I would literally drown in a sea of regret, beating myself up for every time I lost my cool, lectured instead of listened, or just plain missed the mark with my kids.…
more -
Ep #175 Mind Your Own Business:The Art of Parenting Without External Validation
Ever catch yourself doing mental gymnastics trying to figure out what the other playground parents think of your snack choices? Or maybe you're the type who rehearses conversations in your head before parent-teacher conferences? (Guilty as charged over here!) Today we're diving into something…

Ep #174 The 3x5 Card That Will Save Your Sanity as a Mom I Riffing On My Book (8)
This episode is all about a pretty darn useful parenting tool I ever made, a 3x5 index card I kept in my back pocket. Not figuratively. Literally. It had my plan on it. My plan for when things went sideways. For when I was about to yell. For when I wanted to give up or threaten or bribe or storm...
-
Ep #173 The Judgment Detox Every Parent Needs I Riffing On My Book (7)
The mom in Target who judged me for my kids' meltdowns did me a favor. She showed me how toxic judgment was destroying my parenting. A few years later when a wise human shared this thought with me, I knew it was a keeper, "No one is worthy of my judgment, and everyone is worthy of my love." In…

Ep #172 Accepting Is NOT Condoning: Finding Peace In Parenting Without Giving Up Boundaries I Riffing On My Book (6)
I’m diving deep into one of the biggest mindset shifts I’ve ever made as a parent: learning to accept my child’s behavior without condoning it. We’re unpacking Chapter 2 of my book—Control the Controllables—but I’m not just reading it. I’m bringing in fresh reflections, personal stories, and...
-
Ep #171 How to Lose at Parenting by 'Winning' Every Battle I Riffing On My Book (5)
I used to have a black belt in consequence-giving. 🥋 My kids wouldn't clean their room? BOOM - grounded. Talking back? KAPOW - no screens for a week. Fighting with siblings? BAM - straight to timeout. I was "winning" every single battle. My kids were complying (sort of). The house was...
-
Ep #170 Yada, Yada, Yada: talk less, FEEL MORE!
Have you ever caught yourself waiting? Waiting to feel confident. Waiting for your kids to behave so you can feel calm. Waiting for the house to be clean so you can feel peace. I see you. I've been there, lying in bed, praying tomorrow would be different. That somehow I'd wake up and magically…
