Ep #149 The Strongest Identity in the Room Wins: Shaping How You Show Up as a Parent

This episode is for all of us who’ve ever thought, “Wait...who am I even being right now as a parent?” 🙋‍♀️

I’m recording this one late at night (hello 10 PM parenting quiet zone) while I wait for my teens to trickle in—and it ended up being such a heart-to-heart moment. I’m talking all about your parenting self-concept—what it is, why it matters, and how shaping your identity is way more powerful than any technique, script, or strategy.

Here’s what I share:

• The 4-part Identity Shift Method I teach (and use myself!)
• A Machu Picchu meltdown moment that tested everything I thought I knew
• Why the story you tell yourself about your kids and yourself matters more than you think
• What to do when your calm confidence takes a hike (and your inner critic takes over)
• Why “the strongest identity in the room wins”—especially when your kids are in meltdown mode

You’ll walk away with simple shifts that help you show up as the parent you want to be—even when things are loud, messy, and emotionally extra.

This Week’s Challenge: Pick an identity statement you actually like and want to believe (even if you’re still growing into it). Write it down. Put it on your mirror. Live it for 7 days. Example: “I am the parent who sees the best in my kids—even when they’re losing it.”
