Solo show today – from the car….  Thank you for having grace for my audio quality this week!! Feeling inspired to share with you on my way to yoga class.

All about the Iceberg Metaphor

• Shout out to all the parents of teens out there who are showing up and sharing and willing to be vulnerable

• Connecting seeing an iceberg as a metaphor for children’s behavior

• Unwanted behavior is the “tip” of the iceberg

  • The behavior that we see

• Under the surface –

  • What’s opening the door to the behavior?

    • Perception of connection

    • Perception of influence

    • Perception of mattering

    • Trauma/adversity

      • Kids are ALWAYS making meaning with their underdeveloped brain – and forming beliefs from that place

    • Lacking skills for navigating the challenges/emotions that show up

  • Moving from a place of strengthening relationship as a way to understand what is below the surface, to help us influence the behavior at the tip

  • Episode 104 on Making Amends

  • Always be moving towards nurturing relationship

• What are some of the things YOU do to look under the surface? Head over to Live and Love with Joyful Courage and share!

Journey to Joy Ecourse

Journey to Joy is a 3-part offer. 

Each Module contains a video, audio and workbook to guide you in doing your work.

You will increase your awareness around the areas you are stuck (you know, the irritation that never seems to go away… the exhaustion, the guilt and shame that shows up so often after you have “dealt with” the challenges your kids bring on a regular basis.

You will spend time exploring new choices, new ways of being…  Inviting in the qualities that are missing.  Love, compassion, self-acceptance and non-judgement…  You will learn how to open up your body and allow these emotions in.

You will create a practice for teaching your body and mind a NEW pattern, making this new way of being more readily available when you need it.

SO EXCITED to share this with you!  Get more info and register at www.joyfulcourage.com/joy
