Parenting can be difficult, and it's easy to feel overwhelmed.

It's hard to know what the right thing to do is, and juggling parenting with your relationship can be hard, especially if you don't have any advice on how to do it.

In this episode, we are talking with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge about how to be an effective parent while balancing your relationship with your partner.

Dr. Roseann will share her thoughts on parenting dos and don'ts, parenting through a pandemic, and the actions we can take to help our youngsters develop better coping abilities and resilience. We'll also look at how being a step-parent is unique from being a parent to one's own biological children, despite the fact that it's often treated the same.

The ability to navigate the parenting journey together as a couple is imperative for you and your relationship. And, because no child is the same, what works for one, may not work for the others. So how do you assess the best way to handle each child's unique needs and wants without unraveling yourself and your relationship?

Join us this week in the Love Shack to learn how to navigate the parenting journey together as a couple and handle each child's unique needs and wants without unraveling yourself and your relationship.

Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge is a mental health trailblazer, founder of The Global Institute of Children’s Mental Health, and media expert who is, “Changing the way we view and treat children’s mental health”. FORBES magazine called her, “A thought leader in children’s mental health”. Her work has helped thousands reverse the most challenging conditions: ADHD, anxiety, mood, Lyme, and PANS/PANDAS using PROVEN holistic therapies. She is featured on dozens of media outlets ​such as The Mel Robbins Show, Fox News, CBS, NBC, PIX11 NYC, Cheddar TV, FORBES, USA Today, Yahoo News, WebMD, Business Insider, PARENTS, The Week, The Washington Post, and The New York Times.

In this episode, we're covering several key topics about how to navigate the parenting journey as a couple, including:

• How can you promote good coping skills and resilience in children? How can we parent in a way that builds good mental health?
• What are some of Dr. Roseann's parenting dos and don'ts?
• How can we build a successful step-parent/step-child relationship?
• How can we take care of our marriages while parenting young children?
• What will be the long-term impact of the pandemic on children?

Are you caught in the relentless cycle of conflict in your relationship, feeling like every conversation spirals into an argument? Whether it's a heated exchange or a cold war of silence, this cycle can feel inescapable, leading to pain, frustration, and sometimes the daunting request for space.
This cycle of conflict often leaves couples feeling trapped, misunderstood, and alone. The emotional intensity escalates, making it seem like the only options are to adapt, end the relationship, or ask for space. Many couples silently suffer, adhering to societal expectations of a 'perfect' relationship, afraid to admit their struggles or take the necessary space to heal.
Join us in the Love Shack as we dive into the complexities of relationship conflicts. In this episode, we address how to break the destructive cycle of conflict, transforming it into a pathway for growth and deeper connection. We explore the psychological underpinnings that fuel these conflicts and how understanding them can lead to profound changes in how we relate to our partners.
We share real-life examples, including a couple who believed divorce was their only option, only to discover through conversation that they deeply misunderstood each other. Learn how conflicts often stem from our deepest fears and insecurities, and how recognizing and addressing these can change the dynamics of your relationship.
We'll guide you through recognizing and navigating these psychological underpinnings, helping you understand why conflicts arise and how to approach them constructively. Discover how taking space within or outside the relationship can be a healthy step towards breaking the cycle of conflict and fostering a more fulfilling partnership.
This episode goes beyond just managing conflicts; it's about breaking the cycle and creating a new narrative of understanding, empathy, and growth in your relationship. Join us in transforming the way we perceive and handle conflicts, leading to more peaceful, loving, and resilient relationships.
