The AMPLIFY Show - 72: Simplicity Parenting, Family Values, & Building Emotional Resilience With Kim John Payne

72: Simplicity Parenting, Family Values, & Building Emotional Resilience With Kim John Payne

05/12/22 • 59 min

Today on The AMPLIFY Show, I’m welcoming back Kim John Payne, a counselor, researcher, and the author of eight books about children.

He was one of the first guests on this show, and I highly recommend going back and listening to that interview in Episode 6 if you like this one!

Last time, we talked about his 2009 book Simplicity Parenting: Using the Extraordinary Power of Less to Raise Calmer, Happier, and More Secure Kids.

In this interview, we talk about two big topics that have changed for parents since Simplicity Parenting was released, and why he added them as new sections when he rewrote the book in 2019.

We also chat about emotional resiliency - how to manage our own emotions and model that for our kids - which he dives deep into in his upcoming book Emotionally Resilient Tweens and Teens.

And he shares a really troubling condition that more and more kids are experiencing, which is a complete detachment from parents, and the really scary damage that can happen to the parent-child relationship when the parent is too attached to their phone.

If you’re a parent, I think you’re going to love this interview. And be sure to check out some of Kim’s books, which are linked below and available on his website.

71: Habits for Holiness with Fr. Mark-Mary Ames

I’m back recording some new episodes after a bit of a break during Lent and my season doing Magnify90– you can hear more about what Magnify90 is just a few episodes back where I interviewed the creator, Kaylene Brown.

In this episode I share about my experience with Lent and Magnify90 during a Michigan winter, my husband recovering from knee surgery, sick kids, you name it.

I also talk with Father Mark-Mary Ames, the author of Habits For Holiness: Small Steps For Making Big Spiritual Progress and a Franciscan Friar of the Renewal.

Fr. Mark-Mary put it beautifully: that we’re all craving to live at a high level, to live passionately, and to be “all in” - and in doing that, we actually want the unwatered truth.

We want the real, hard truth, delivered with love & boldness, and that is exactly what you get from Father Mark-Mary in this interview. He also shares some specific steps and strategies for pursuing holiness.

73: Quit Trading Time for Money: Creating a Business that Works For Your Life

In today’s Biz Pep Talk, I’m talking about the trap many mom entrepreneurs find themselves in and how to break free from it: trading time for money.

I share how I transitioned my business from one that required a lot of my physical time and also drained my energy, leaving me without as much to give to my family, to one that gives me a lot of freedom and the ability to scale up or down depending on my season, desire, or needs.

In this episode I cover:

The traditional “time for money” business model that leverages growing a team to get more time and why this doesn’t always work for many of us - especially moms who want to pour into their homes & families more than an office/large teams.
The mindset shift of viewing money as potentially limitless vs. time, which is completely finite
How to make more impact and income by sharing your knowledge or expertise in an online course
Simple questions to ask to figure out what kind of course you could create and sell to others
The positive ways this business model has impacted my company and my life and how you can get started doing it for yourself
The exact method I use to create a course that doesn’t require a ton of time or money before getting your first paid customers (can be found at emilyrichett.com/courseapply)
