Empowered Parenting

This week, Chief Joy Officer, Faith Guy, is joined by dedicated parenting coach and good friend, Jodi Slein! Jodi brings a unique perspective to her coaching with her personal experience with her three sons, one of which is adopted. Faith and Jodi speak all about parenting, emotional intelligence and regulation, and the benefits of learning self-awareness to become a better person and parent!

Takeaways:
✅ Parent from the Inside Out – Jodi explains that empowered parenting starts with self-awareness. Understanding your own childhood, attachment style, and triggers helps you parent more intentionally and effectively.

✅ Regulation is the Game Changer – Emotional regulation is a foundational skill in parenting. Jodi emphasizes that parents must learn to regulate themselves first in order to teach their kids how to do the same — especially in high-emotion moments.

✅ Empowered Parenting is Not Passive – Setting firm boundaries with empathy and consistency creates a respectful relationship — not one based on fear or control. Empowered parenting requires patience, presence, and purpose.

✅ Repair Builds Trust – When mistakes happen (and they will), it’s the repair that matters most. Jodi shares how owning her mistakes and apologizing helped deepen connection and build mutual respect with her kids.

✅ Connection Over Perfection – Building lasting influence starts with prioritizing connection. Jodi's story shows that when children feel emotionally safe and valued, communication and trust naturally follow.
