Beautiful Behavior

Today’s episode is with guest Mikki Gardner. Our conversation was all about how to co-parent well, how people pleasing gets in the way of our peace, triggers, and more. This was a very informative conversation.

Mikki is a Certified Life + Conscious Parenting Coach, a mom, speaker, and host of the Co-Parenting with Confidence Podcast and author of the People Pleaser’s Guide to Co-Parenting Well.

Mikki’s personal struggles with divorce motivated her to become a “better mom” so that she could better help her son overcome the challenges of their new family dynamic. Drawing on her academic background, professional training and personal experience, she empowers other moms to move beyond the overwhelming obstacles of co-parenting and thrive after divorce.

Mikki strives to guide moms to navigate the divorce & co-parenting drama by becoming calm, confident co-parents, even without their ex’s participation.

Mikki is on a mission to help children by helping their moms learn to handle the emotional and practical difficulties of divorce and co-parenting while creating an intentional, joyful, and ease-filled life for both themselves and their children.

I don't want to mess up my kids.

I don't want my kids to feel the way I did.

I don't want to do it the way my parents did.

These are comments and statements, or some version of them, that I hear from parents around the globe AND they are ones that I claimed myself.

I think what it really means is, I want to give my children a different mothering experience.

I wanted to offer a different version of what was offered to me.

I had to BECOME the mother I always wanted so I could offer a different experience to my children.

This is an INSIDE job.

We must do our INNER work to free ourselves and our children from unhealthy behavioral patterns passed down from generations before us. These not only come from our own individual family systems but also from our culture as a whole.

It is never to late to BECOME the mother you want for your children!!

Beautiful Behavior Defined - Free Lunch & Learn: Topic for November is, LIVE COACHING. Ask me anything.

Register here:

Do you feel the insatiable need to be right? Or maybe you give up being right to others to avoid conflict. Which actually means you are silenced into go along with others to get along. If this is you, you may be playing the victim in your life. If you take on the stance of, “I’m always right” you may be playing the persecutor in your life. Both roles are a way to avoid conflict and defend our own sense of self-worth. Both roles create drama and more conflict in our lives. In today’s episode we navigate the need to be right as we move from controlling to connecting.

Here we are in November and for me, I am looking to stay grounded as we head into the holiday season. In today's episode I am joined by a guest, K. Margaret Solorio, who is the host and creator of the Delicious EASE podcast and a time freedom mentor.

She lives in Northern California with her husband and two kids, and helps women live and work with more time freedom and ease. In 2020, like so many others, the pandemic flipped her life on its side. She faced some of her greatest fears and took responsibility for her happiness. It was through this journey she learned that changing her mindset and managing her relationship with time had the power to change her life. Life is what we experience. Our expectation of time and the quality of time spent make all the difference. She has created her Sparkle Time membership for women, coaching programs, the Delicious EASE podcast and shop to support women in transforming from feeling they never have enough time for anything to knowing we have more than enough time for everything. She is also currently writing a book about transforming your default mindset. Connect with K. Margaret :

I had an image of what being a mother would be like. It didn't match my actual experience of being a mother at all. In today's episode I share my mothering journey and what had to shift to create a different experience.

Did you know that 95% of what we do each day is coming from an unconscious program? This program downloaded in early childhood runs the show. It's time to bring the unconscious to the conscious where we can work with it and download a conscious more empowering program into our system. This is the power of working with the subconscious mind. Whether its through hypnosis, reinvention or the parenting program my commitment through the work I do is to empower you to create the life you most desire. In today's episode I offer you the gift of hypnosis to explore emotions in your body.

Beautiful Behavior Defined - Free Lunch & Learn: Topic for October - Understanding Temperament

We tend to have an idea of what boundaries are. Culturally, most of us were not taught boundaries nor did we have a model for them. The traditional model is focused on compliance. It looks through a lens of control. So, typically when we think about boundaries we are looking through a lens of control. Boundaries are the opposite of control. Boundaries are the new paradigm.

In this episode I have a conversation with Kim, a Reinvention client, who went from resisting boundaries to embracing boundaries and finding the freedom that they offer.

Do you experience frustration, anger, and/or resistance with “chores” and your children? I did too and I hear many parents voice this frustration. It has created curiosity within me, and I wanted to take a deeper look at this dynamic. We also have a teenager in our home, and we have been exploring what household tasks might look like, sound like and feel like from a new perspective. A perspective of collaboration versus reward and punishment. It has been insightful as we engage in conversations and collaborate on possible solutions. One thing I have learned is that solutions evolve over time. And as solutions evolve so does the relationship.  

We are taking “chores” from obligation and power struggle to collaboration and growth. It is both emotionally uncomfortable and empowering for all involved.  

This is a BIG conversation and one that may create some fear and discomfort. I would love to hear your thoughts.

Beautiful Behavior Defined - Free Lunch & Learn:

Are you a doer? Do you keep yourself busy all day long? Cultural messages about “hard work” and “making something of yourself” have us in the busy hamster wheel. Busy makes us feel productive and important. It’s like I matter if I’m busy.

Do you find yourself needing to look busy when your partner arrives home, or someone walks in the room or perhaps by your office? This habit of busy starts in our early experiences to keep ourselves contained and out of trouble. Maybe you received negative messages about lazy and you decided not to be that. We often overcompensate for the rejection of lazy by staying BUSY.

We continue this habit into adulthood except now it is no longer serving us. It is draining us.

Tune into today’s episode as I invite you to start recharging your batteries and use guilt as a sign you are moving in the right direction AND taking your time inventory.

As humans we all have 3 jobs. These are the gifts we all innately have – To THINK, to FEEL, To DO.

We live in a culture that values thinking and doing but falls short when it comes to feeling. We tend to leave out the feeling and do anything to keep it at bay.  Rejecting this deep, intimate part of ourselves leads us to over-thinking and over-doing to compensate for avoiding feeling. Feeling is Uncomfortable. However, if we are honest with ourselves, how many of us are truly comfortable in our current life?

Over-thinking often has us in decision fatigue. Can you relate to not wanting to make another decision? Or feeling agitated every time your child asks you something?

Over-doing has us exhausted. Do you feel the urge to look “busy” whenever someone is near? Do you have the feeling of “being in trouble” or feeling “guilty” if you don’t have all those things checked off your to do list by the end of the day or week?

Do you define success in how much you achieve, produce, accomplish or how much you do for others?

On today’s episode we are bridging the gap between thinking and doing and stepping into becoming WHOLE humans. This is where fulfillment is experienced.

Are you the parent you want to be? I was not. There was a time I realized this parenting thing was not what I thought it was going to be. My image of being a parent and actually being a parent did not match up. I swore I was going to do it differently than my parents and in many ways I did but I also unknowingly carried some of the internalized behavior patterns into my own parenting journey. These patterns (like yelling) were not helpful in establishing a safe, trusting relationship with my children.

So, I had to do the work to consciously BECOME the parent I wanted to be. In today’s episode we’ll discuss how to become the parent YOU want to be.

Beautiful Behavior Defined - Free Lunch & Learn: Topic for July is Boundaries

On today’s episode we separate fantasy from reality. “Should” “Shouldn’t” and “Supposed to” put you in a position of powerlessness. It puts you in the victim role and creates drama. Do these sound familiar?

“I should go to the gym.”

“You shouldn’t do that.”

“I shouldn’t have done that.”

“You should know better.”

“What am I supposed to do?”

We often “should” on ourselves and our children. Today, I want to empower you to reframe this fantasy and put what you want into reality. This reframe will also help you to support your children rather than judge them.

We often think others, especially our children, have the power to make us feel certain ways. When we believe our children or others are responsible for our feelings we are a victim to them. It puts them in charge of us. We put them in charge of regulating our emotions.  

In this episode, we will discuss how to take your power back by understanding what drives your emotions and taking ownership of them.  

Our triggers are our teachers. Triggers can be a powerful tool offering us an opportunity for healing. When we take ownership of our triggers our relationships bloom. If we allow it, triggers can be a beautiful journey to living a life of fulfillment.

This episode is dedicated to understanding triggers and changing hurtful behavior into helpful relationships.

In a culture of control, anger and blame run on autopilot. Ownership and compassion are generally not our go-to. And it doesn’t feel good. Control and blame create resentment. Relationships cannot thrive where resentment grows.

Compassion requires ownership. Ownership creates trust. Relationships thrive where trust grows.

We all have drama in our lives.  We often blame that drama on our kids especially our teens. We often may even label them as drama queens (or kings). In fact, I thought I had the mother of all drama queens living in our home (and it wasn’t me). The truth is we all play a part in the drama in our lives AND there is a way out.

In today’s episode I talk about the drama roles we play in our relationships and the alternative empowerment roles so you can GET OUT OF THE DRAMA.

Stay tuned for more information coming soon about some upcoming workshops I will be hosting around these roles.

How do you experience fear? Fear shows up in many ways. Fear can be sneaky and at times not so obvious to detect. Fear can show up in procrastination, self-doubt, excuses, and many more ways. In fact, western traditional culture is based in fear.

Creating safe environments? What does that mean? This goes beyond physical safety.

In this week’s episode we delve into emotional safety. When we live our life believing some version of, “I’m not good enough,” we are living in a constant state of threat. This is problematic because threat works against the brain putting us into a survival state unable to access logical thinking skills. Without our logical thinking skills online we are apt to react in ways that do not feel good and don’t feel safe to those around us.

Takeaways to creating safe environments:

· Emotional awareness and regulation

· The Practice of going inward through deep breathing (which can be done anywhere, anytime), meditation, just sitting quietly and noticing what your body feels like.  

· Noticing your thoughts without getting lost in them. Or noticing when you get lost in them and coming back to the present moment.

· Noticing your internal state when others express emotion or when something upsetting happens. 

· Self-compassion. Talking kindly to yourself and all your emotions and internal parts, such as the inner critic, shame, anger and other feelings, as well as joy, excitement, etc.

Do you feel like you’ve failed if you don’t check all the to-do items on your list by the end of the day or week? Do you feel like a failure if your house isn’t always picked up and tidy? Are you under constant fear that you might mess up your kids?

Today, we are talking about why we seem to always be running from any possibility of failure. Why are we are always doing, perfecting, and proving?  How do we shift from the habit of DOING and OVERWHELM to allowing ourselves more freedom to BE and EASE?

Happy February. I’m celebrating self-love in February. Today we are talking about the Power of love and how compassion isn’t necessarily our go to. One of the most loving things we can do for ourselves and our relationships is to learn the skill of composure. This is different than “pretending” to be composed. Often we stuff feelings down and put on a mask of composure only to explode when we get home behind closed doors. Listen in and spread the LOVE.

One of the great challenges of parenting is navigating sibling relationships. This is part 1 of a two part series on sibling relationships. Parenting has two parts, the slow developing of a healthy relationship and the skills needed to navigate present challenges and problem solving. Today’s episode is a discussion on the building of the relationship.

It’s all about awareness.

To understand and navigate sibling relationships we must understand what impacts them. The building blocks of all healthy relationships are safety and trust. How secure your children feel in the relationship with you has a big impact. Other factors include temperament and parent expectations about how siblings “should” be.

Listen in to understand the dynamics of sibling relationships.

I am so passionate about healing the “not good enough” wound that I wanted to continue the conversation from last episode. I am passionate about self-worth because I spent most of my life feeling alone and not good enough. I talk and teach about this because it is what I need the most. You know what they say, “You teach what you most need to learn.”

Since starting my personal discovery journey 13 years ago I have been finding my way back to my wholeness.  I continue to heal as I guide others on the journey back to their wholeness.

Together we can shift this generational pattern of lack, to a generational pattern of wholeness as we learn and grow.
