Super Joe Pardo talks openly about the realities of balancing a growing business with a growing family (toddler and a newborn). Try to hold a toddler in your arms while keeping an eye on a sleeping newborn while conducing a video interview. As much as Joe loves working from home and being part of his famille's life, some things had to change in order to maximize productivity and focus. He went from having an open door policy office, aka their dining room, which was turned into his office to a more defined space in their house -his wife’s scrapbooking room. Even though he feels a lot better and gets a lot of work done, he misses being in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the family happenings.    SUPPORT THE AUTHENTIC PARENTING PODCAST ON PATREON!!!

Mickie Zada  chose to stay in a damaging relationship for 34 years because she thought it was her Calling.  She believed it was her responsibility to keep her husband between the lines. While living in abuse, for decades she didn’t recognize herself as an abused spouse. She was not threatened with weapons, was not hospitalized, never called law enforcement and did not file a restraining order against her husband. She was the strong one, the grounded one, the dedicated wife. She was in love. When she left, she wondered (like nearly every abuse survivor) whether she was really abused. So many years were invested in protecting her abuser that she felt guilty defending herself by leaving. Are you or someone you know is experiencing domestic violence?    SUPPORT THE AUTHENTIC PARENTING PODCAST ON PATREON!!! Has the show been of value to you? Do you find the show helpful?

This is our monthly special episode where I co-host the show with another colleague.  We have 3 segments Examples from Our Homes What’s Up with You? Answering listener parenting questions Favorite Finds In the first segment, I tell a story about a delayed Christmas gift I had ordered for my daughter. How she reacted triggered past hurts in me and I was stuck. It is hard to parent peacefully and respond respectfully when our wounds get triggered. Parenting is an emotional job. This experience has not only enabled me to face my own unresolved issues but also it served as a catalyst for me to open up and share a painful story from my past. We often feel like as parents we need to hide our stories, our past. When we share parts of us with our children we invite them into our lives and it gives them a different perspective. After I shared my story, my daughter was touched and the connection between us just got deeper.  Have you ever shared parts of you with your child? How did it go? How did you child respond? W

It was the 1950’s, The Netherlands and people didn’t know much about Autism. Born 18 months earlier than her, Carl's sister was severely autistic. She never spoke a word. For the first 3 years of her life she cried a lot. It was very difficult for her parents in many ways. Sometimes they couldn’t even to find love for her. Carla’s parents wanted her to be “normal’ and that meant not showing emotions, not getting angry, meeting their high expectations, being the best and not wanting much. They also criticised her a lot. From an early age Carla was told that her sister was “unhappy child”.   Highlights: -a beautiful memory that made me tear up -how our past shapes who we become -why love is not enough to be a good parent -how parental trauma can block the flow of love for their children -she was not allowed to be angry or complain -how she felt guilty for being “normal” -why she chose NVC FOR FULL SHOW NOTES click here.

This is the final episode of the 2017. I don't know about you but I feel like the time is really flying by. It seems like it was just yesterday when I was recording the final episode of the 2016, which is by the way the least downloaded episode of the podcast:) In preparation for this episode I went back and listened to it. It’s a really good one. In it I compiled all of my guests wisdom, their answers to “If you had to go back in time, knowing what you know about motherhood/fatherhood, what would you say to yourself as a new mom/dad?”question. I'm sitting today in December and recording this message I feel like I am always behind 1 or 2 months behind of the calendar year. Okay, looking back   What did the 2017 bring for me and how it was for the podcast?   Growth I had many amazing guests. The podcast has grown. I have grown. The number of listeners have grown. And growth is a good thing. I have changed the cover art for the podcast and I can't be happier. In fact, I have a mug with the logo right now on my
