Superparent Syndrome's Podcast

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? There will never be an invitation, or someone asking you to take the lead and step up, or even ask you what you want. No one is going to go out of their way to ask you what you need and help you get what you want (unless you're paying them to do that). No one is coming to save you.  No one is going to give you permission. The rest is up to you. To wake yourself up, to write down your goals, and to do the work to get them.   Anyone telling you differently is selling you something. Now imagine a world where people understood this.  A world where people stopped waiting for "the right moment" or when they "felt like it". That's a world of progress and innovation. Because it's YOUR dreams and needs.  Not someone else's, so it's UP TO YOU to go and get it. The only time someone is coming to you is to solve THEIR OWN PROBLEMS.  And that's where the magic happens, because if you have a solution to a problem.  Then people are going to come running. So, time to pony up everyone and get to work

Helping Parents to Parent Themselves

I think these are probably some of the most dangerous words in society. Especially medicine, parenting, education, and certainly in your own life! These have hindered growth and development here in the States when compared to how other countries have grown and adapted.   It's stagnated how we utilize resources for profit instead of impact on environment or health. So, how has these shown up in your own life?   How are you stagnant in your day to day routine - just because that's what you've always done.  And is it actually serving you?   I can tell you firsthand that when working with some clients, their pain has become their identity.  They have been in pain for so long that the possibility of releasing that and not having that issue actually terrifies some.  It sounds crazy because it kind of is! I have coaching clients with these stories concerning marriage, kids, finances, their job, their social life.  And change can sound and feel terrifying!  And so we hide in our "safe routine" and we are miserable! R

Last night we went to a workshop for how to actually align the wheels for our soap box derby car. It was overwhelming!  There is a lot to consider from toe in to toe out of the wheel and also camber which is like a tilt of the wheels and then there is weight to consider and it really comes down to THOUSANDTHS OF AN INCH. If not done properly, the car loses speed due to friction and improper alignment of the wheels.  And as a chiropractor, I love that we are talking about alignment and efficiency. We waste energy and talent when we are out of alignment to our core values. What's worse is that the tiniest misalignment will someday lead us to being WAY off course!  Related Links: The Home for the SuperParent Syndrome Coaching with Me?

What is the lesson with Tiger and his comeback win for the Master's? First of all, everyone LOVES a comeback.   Sure he has haters and trolls that are spreading drama about this or the people that weren't fans before his fall are still bagging on him. But the majority of folks.... love that he fell and came back. And no matter the reason for your "fall" or even what you're actually trying to hide, people are rooting for you too. It's time to let go of the guilt and shame.  The energy you are wasting on your past mistakes is likely baffling. Related Links: The Home for the SuperParent Syndrome Coaching with Me?

I have casually mentioned this before in several other episodes but I have never highlighted it. When you start to set targets (I like saying this versus "goal"), attach a reward to it.   Write them down along with a finish by date and post them up so you can see them every day, heck multiple times a day. And most importantly, when you do it, celebrate with your reward. Because, I know that you haven't been.  Most of the time that is.  In fact, once you have achieved or won, you often downplayed your victory - claiming it to be small or no big deal. At one time you thought it was.  But then as you tackled your daily actions towards your big target, you grew into a new person and that new person now doesn't see it as a "big deal". The person you were at the bottom of the mountain is now dead and gone.  The person that climbed the mountain and is looking from the top has a totally new perspective and is now seeing bigger mountains to climb.

We're due for yet another blizzard here in Nebraska on the tail end of a massive statewide flood.  Ranchers and farmers alike have had enough of this.  It's calving and planting season here and we're looking for refuge from Mother Nature.  Meanwhile, my wife's cabin fever may be the death of my low back as she wants to landscape and "nest". Does it do any good to complain about the weather?  Or one may argue that it's therapeutic to be able to vent about something.  I can agree with this if it leads to a solution.   But the weather? It proves that one can complain about pretty much anything. So instead, how can we reframe this to improve our lives and our outlook.

It's Soap Box Derby Season here in the States and in my tiny little town of Ogallala, NE we actually have an official Soap Box Derby Track - so it's a very popular thing here - I applaud the many individuals that give their time and talents to run this show. Starting age?   SEVEN - which means my daredevil son finally gets to try it out.   AND it was a total and utter disaster! He was all gung ho about it, until he actually saw the hill and people driving down it. So, we coaxed him into trying it.   Starting half way down (they do this with all first-timers).  And when you're by yourself and that low to the ground, even 15 mph seems fast.  And he decided he was done for the day and his derby career came to an end.  And with that his sisters of age (8 and 7) were DEFINITELY not going to try it. But, he talked it over all weekend and decided to give it another go. And upon this second chance, he froze and didn't hit the brake at the end and slammed into the safety cones and tires at the bottom of the hill and g

To get someone to REALLY change their life.  It all focuses on changing from the inside out.   You can try a new haircut, or winning money in the lotto or having a long lost rich uncle die, or you can have that mid-life crisis and get the new car.  But trying to change from the outside in will not work. And to remind someone just how amazing they are and how to really start winning the game; it all begins with a single win. Big or small.  But a win nonetheless.  In fact, I say there are no small victories, only victories.  But you have to start with a win.

I didn't post a podcast on Tuesday (AKA yesterday) and for some it was an interruption to your routine.  For others, you didn't even notice.  And I understand because there is just a whole lot of noise out there. But if you didn't notice, why?   I'm not trying to imply that I'm all that important, but if for some reason that I made it to a spot on your routine... did you notice the disruption?  Or do you even have a routine? My point.  Those that noticed, they are the ones that have a specifically built routine designed for one thing - expansion/improvement/success/whatever you want to call it. No routine?  Then you're allowing yourself to be reactive to your day and allow other people's priorities and emergencies dictate your life.   Kids, spouse, bosses, clients, etc. One version is empowering, the other depends on chance.  A morning ritual or free time ritual will either build you up or sedate you.  And you have one no matter what.  Your rituals could be playing on your phone or checking Facebook when you

I was approached at the grocery store the other night.  A high schooler told me that he has been seeing me pick up my daughters from the bus and wanted to let me know that there was an older kid talking to one of them and has been talking and teasing her about a lot of different things. Asking her if she liked porn.  She is in elementary school.  And it became clear about where she had been learning about a few things that have been coming up.   Things about "momo" and how to cut your wrists, not so innocent rhymes and songs, and even comebacks like "I just posted on Facebook that you're the meanest sister ever."  And while her sister probably was, I was floored that she had said that. I understand that I can't protect them forever.   In fact, I know they will be exposed to more than I want to admit just out of earshot from their parents and teachers, but I implore everyone to have a talk with their kids.  We talk to our kids about dirty words and how they may hear them but not allowed to use them until they

It wasn't until I was SIX years into running my own business before I actually sent someone to collections.  We would call, send letters, have our lawyer send letters, call again, and over and over we would try to stay in communication with someone.  And yet, I would either take the hit, or keep that balance there to stare at me until 2016 when I finally started to stand up for myself. I was too terrified that people wouldn't like me.   Even though, they were basically okay with me doing the work and them not paying for the results. In fact, I would make up stories in my head about why they couldn't pay (and yes, there are many people that have valid reasons, but I'm talking about the folks that just "ghost us" and don't keep up in the loop about a crisis or hardship). These other stories, I would blame myself.  Seriously, it would magically become my fault.  Thinking I had pissed them off, or said the wrong thing, or that they didn't get the results and were just too nice to not tell me. I am a recovering pe

This damn quote triggered the hell out of me.  I have clutter in my life and it drives me crazy!   I am overweight (calorie clutter), I am often in a reactionary mindset or not prepared for all the kids and wife's emergencies (relationship clutter), and budgeting and finances are often cluttered and disorganized.   Sure I have physical clutter, but not much.   Instead of I have clutter in my mind (and yes also junk in my back storage room too). Here's the quote again for anyone that missed it.  "Clutter is the physical manifestation of unmade decisions fueled by procrastination."   - Christina Scalise So look around you.  Look at the facts.  Are you surrounded by clutter?   How about your body?   Or finances? You can't even pretend it doesn't exist because it will be right there staring at you... YEP. Related Links: The Home for the SuperParent Syndrome Coaching with Me?
