Hello everyone! Many of you have asked great questions about how to get the most out of the program, so I've put together a Tech Quick-Start Guide just for you. This PDF includes four short video walkthroughs (each just 1–3 minutes) that cover the basics of our community: how to connect with other parents, find your way around the classroom, check the calendar, and join your weekly classes and office hours. It also has a friendly Zoom section that walks you through the buttons and features beyond just joining a call — things like muting your microphone, raising your hand, using the chat, and changing your view. Download it, print it if you like, and keep it nearby. There's no need to memorize anything — this is here for you to peek at whenever you need. Questions? Drop them in the comments or message me directly! 💛

We are all headed somewhere. The question is where. People either grow, move forward, and evolve, or get stuck, stop learning, and become a victim. It really boils down to these two perspectives and we get to choose. We often fight change because it scares us and reveals how little power we have. The status quo can be comfortable, at least temporarily, because we think we "know" what we are doing, what we can count on, and where we are going. Unfortunately, that is really not true. My friend, Jamie Winship, has a book coming out, "The War of Worldviews", where he discusses the factors that reveal what path we are on. Most of us are on a separated worldview path where we live in scarcity, we want certainty, we seek perfectionism, and we are self-protective. In a connected worldview, we believe we are enough, we can live in the mystery of the unknown to take the next step, we embrace fallibility (mistakes are opportunities) and we stop surviving because we learn what it means to really love. The filters by which we view life impacts every element of our lives. Most of us don't know the perspectives by which we walk out each day but it matters. We are not victims to our thinking - we choose how we see things. What choices are you making?

Parents often struggle with setting boundaries with their children. In this class, I discuss the benefits of having them and the consequences when they are missing.

Has anyone else listened to the modules and said .... damn .... I don't think I ever did it right? Not beating myself up over it like I used to, but Boy do I have a lot of work to do! Another thought that continues to rise up within me is this: We're not supposed to have expectations of our children and I can see why that's a good idea, however, why is it perfectly okay for them to have expectations of us as parents? My frustration with this is finances (as they spend on whatever they want and depend on us for all of their emergencies and we come to the rescue). I get verbally abused if I say no. Aren't they adults too? About 14 years ago I took a course / retreat and while there I learned why my parents were who they were and I bettered our relationship as the child. I'm grateful that I still have them (86 and 89 yrs old).

Unfortunately I had to miss previous session. I wanted to go back and listen. Don't know where to find past sessions.
