mothering

This week we come together to discuss the wildernesses that we go through in life. We all face them! We talk about ways we can acknowledge the difficulties, feel all the feelings, and also find support and move through them. We would be so grateful to hear from any of you on Instagram @eyresisters. We'd be honored to hear how you manage your own personal wildernesses. We're grateful to have you as a part of our community!

This week, we dive into a discussion about family intimacy. By family intimacy, we don't mean the physical intimacy you share with your partner. Instead, we mean intimacy in the sense of closeness, connections, and a sense of being seen. We discuss things that get in the way of intimate relationships, and we also give some ideas for building intimacy. We would love to hear from you! What's worked well in your family? Come share with us on Instagram @eyresisters.

- How to Talk So Kids Will Listen and Listen So Kids Will Talk by Adele Faber

Join us this week as we discuss using a village to help raise our kids in our modern age. We discuss how much of the parenting in our modern society falls to the mom and dad (and mostly the mom!), and how sad this is! There are so many great people who can contribute to our kids' lives, let's use them! We'd love to hear your thoughts about this on  Instagram @eyresisters.

We could talk about how much we love nature for hours! Growing up, our parents were very intentional about pointing out the beauties in the world. All of us have taken that appreciation for nature and woven it into the fabric of our own families. Join us as we discuss why nature is so important and share some ideas for getting your kids outside. How do you bring the benefits of nature into your family?

Grandparenting is just one more thing that's changed noticeably over the decades. In the start of this new series, we find out what's new with grandparents--who are they? how do grandparents differ between cultures? What are some of a grandparent's responsibilities and is it reasonable to expect them to enforce bedtimes or a no-sugar rule?

In this episode we talk with Doula Katelyn Commerford about the work she does and why a family would choose to work with a Doula. We also highlight the things parents-to-be should look for when selecting the person they will work with. Finally we touch on what a Birth Map is and why women may want to consider this alternative approach when making plans for their birth experiences.

This week's episode of Parent Tell is a powerful one and discusses one mom's experience with finding out her daughter would be born with some sort of developmental delay and the fight she fights every single day to do what she needs to do for her daughter. Angela's daughter was born with DiGeorge Syndrome, a disorder caused when a small part of chromosome 22 is missing. This deletion results in the poor development of several body systems. Medical problems commonly associated with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome include heart defects, poor immune system function, a cleft palate, complications related to low levels of calcium in the blood, and delayed development with behavioral and emotional problems. The number and severity of symptoms associated with 22q11.2 deletion syndrome vary. However, almost everyone with this syndrome needs treatment from specialists in a variety of fields.

Angela's story is powerful, as it showcases exactly what moms are willing to do, and what they go through, in order to be there for their children and give them what they need.

In this episode, I interview author, Sophia Brown. Sophie is the author of  Mindset Makeover Essentials, a short book to help busy moms beat overwhelm by empowering their mindset. We explore the power of shifting beliefs and how overcoming a victim mindset can be incredibly liberating to parents. We talk about the importance of self-confidence as mothers and why it is important to celebrate each small step toward achieving your goals. We also discuss the importance of having a growth mindset as a mother and teaching our children to be open to expansion and learning.

Together, we touch on the challenges of parenting in the digital age and the impact of social media on our children's mental health. Included are tips for managing children's usage of social media. You will be encouraged to take time for your own personal growth so you can be a positive example for your children. Sophie gives practical examples of how to find pockets of time for your own personal growth and hobbies.

Sophia encourages moms with creative ways to express their own creativity through mothering.  She provides helpful tips that will enable moms to move past the fears that are preventing them from experiencing the true joys of parenting. She also emphasizes that even if a mother stays at home, she doesn't have to let her creativity and dreams die and encourages mothers to explore their creative gifts in the context of motherhood by trusting their intuition.

More About Sophie...

Brown is a nonfiction writer, entrepreneur, wife, and mother of five from Ohio.  When she was a tired single mom exhausted from repeating the same undesired outcomes in her life, she began reading and practicing mindfulness and the law of attraction.

She now pens a weekly newsletter at motherhoodwithme.com about weekly lessons learned as a mom, encouraging messages, and other helpful guidance.

This week's episode of Parent Tell was a bit of a high school reunion for Kaila and her guest, as you might be able to tell from the amount of giggling (and the fact that Kaila tells you the guest is a high school pal, duh). Kaila speaks with Clara, a mom who has experienced the dreaded? Famed? Infamous?  two children under 2. Twice! And she also was living the three under 3 life for a few months after her last baby was born and her first was a few months shy of 3. 

The moms talk about the potential pros and cons of having children close in age, why Clara and her husband chose that path, as well as the importance of embracing where you are. And also whether or not to leash a child who enjoys sprinting away from you. What can we say, this episode has it all.

This week we answer a listener's question about what our parents did to help us deal with negativity, and how we're working to build resilience in ourselves and our kids. We loved this discussion!  We share experiences that have helped us develop thick skin - from the time a guy proudly announced that he'd burned the book our dad gave him to dealing with negative blog comments. We share ideas about how our parents taught us resilience and ways we can help cultivate resilience in our kids. What do you do in your home to teach resilience? Come share with us on Instagram @eyresisters.

This week's episode is a cute, tiny, lil' Babysode! Kaila and Jimmy asked listeners the question that has become famous on Parent Tell and that is, "How has being a parent changed you as a person?" While reading your responses to this question, Kaila and Jimmy discuss how they've changed, particularly how being a toddler parent has changed them versus being an infant parent, and how it's important to self reflect on your parenting journey every now and then. Because we're all doing a great job, even if it doesn't feel like it in the moment.
