  • One thing I've noticed during this stay at home time is the profound difference boundaries make in how I feel about my days. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ I'm not talking about
  • Tone of voice. Facial expressions.
  • This is your daily reminder that the language you use, even in your own mind, matters. The way you describe your circumstances to yourself matters. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Covid-19 is a circumstance. Schools closing is a circumstance. Everything else that's happening right now? Circumstances, too. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Chaos, though, is a label. A story we are feeding ourselves about our circumstances. And just like any story, we can change the wording. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ You can change how you are showing up right now just by changing your story. Even a slight shift will do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ For me,
  • So much has happened. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ We are collectively facing a lot of uncertainty. There is fear rumbling all around us, grief bubbling up in unexpected corners. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Our sensitive kids are feeling this, too, which makes this a very important time for all of us. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's important because we have the opportunity to show up in a way that shows them they are supported, loved, and cared for, no matter what is going on in the world. We can be their grounding force. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's important because big emotions, sleep disruptions, and power struggles may be at an all time high and there's never been a better time to find ways to navigate through these challenges and learn to address the root cause. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's important because there's so much happening that's beyond any of our comprehension, our families need tools to stay grounded and protect their empathic hearts now more than ever. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's important because all of the challenges we're facing right now were there before, but now the curtain's been pulled back. There's nowhere for them to hide right now, and if we don't figure out how to manage when they're out in the open, they're going right back into hiding when things start to feel normal again. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ This is the work I do with parents. It's not about quick fixes to behavior problems, although that comes along with the territory. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's about self-awareness and skill-building. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ It's about understanding your patterns, your child's patterns, and how you can begin to shift things. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ And it's definitely about embracing imperfection and learning how to solve problems WITH your kids, not for them. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ There's never been a better time to show up for your family and do this work. DM me and we'll get started. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #parentcoach #highlysensitivechild #highlysensitivechildren #orchidchild #partneredpathparenting #parentcoaching #beahelper
  • Over the past week, I've taken my ride on the rollercoaster. I've been with you on the wild swings of emotions. And I'm doing everything in my power to opt out of the next loop around. I've been using all the tools in my toolbox: ✔️ Coaching. ✔️ Brain dumps and thought downloads. ✔️ Self-Coaching. ✔️ Energy clearing. ✔️ Movement. ✔️ Mindfulness. This doesn't come easily to any of us. Our brains are being cued into danger all around us and they are responding. Even when we are safe in our own homes, we're in such a deep collective stress-response that it might feel like the floor could fall out from underneath us at any moment. It makes sense. We're all experiencing something we've never been through before. Not our generation. There was a collective belief that this sort of thing was in the past, that technology had stepped in to protect us. Maybe you never believed that. I distinctly remember reading about deaths from the Spanish Flu when I was ten years old and thinking the world must have been really different then. There's no way something like that could happen now. Our medicine is so much better. We felt SAFE for a long time. And now we are facing so many messages that we aren't. Our world is up-ended. The economy is taking a hit. OF COURSE our brains are saying RUN! HIDE! NEVER COME OUT! For the most part, we're either denying it or indulging it. And yet, there is a third option that let's us move through: COMFORT IT. Acknowledge that this is hard. It seems like nothing will ever be the same. Allow yourself to feel into your body. Sit with your feelings until they ease. Comfort yourself the way you would your child. THEN... Find ways to prove yourself wrong. This feels like a shitshow, but... ... our communities are banding together in new ways. It seems like the world is ending, but... ... we are using our creativity to solve problems like never before. Remember, shit is fertilizer. Look for the new shoots rising. This is my work, and I'm a DM away.

"After two sessions, let me just say-- even if you would rate things as 'pretty good,' Julia is able to take the two or three troublesome situations you keep running up against, ask like two or three questions, and very quickly have a few hunches as to what the root cause or trigger might be. She can then work with you on strategies to not only deal with the recurring issues better when they arise but... here's the super fun part... start to shift routines and make changes so that the big problems you keep having just DON'T HAPPEN ANYMORE. The terrible twos don't need to be terrible, three year olds don't need to be threenagers-- just get Julia in your corner and make parenting fun again."
