05/01/23 • 52 min
If you're raising a defiant child, you know the day-to-day struggle. Even amongst the best circumstances, motherhood can be purely exhausting . Ginny Luther is joining us today to tell us what conscious discipline is, how we need to show up for ourselves before we respond to our kids, and the many ways our children invite us to grow and learn from our continued missteps.
When Ginny's defiant child, Bart, tested her in ways she never imagined she began a journey of self-discovery which led her to becoming a Conscious Discipline Master Instructor. Today, she's sharing her story and talking to us about her exceptional new book, Blue Star Grit: A Mother’s Journey of Triumph and Tragedy Raising a Defiant Child into an Exceptional Leader.
(As always, these conversations are not for kiddos—make sure you've got your earbuds in or listen when your child-free)
