In this week’s podcast episode, I talk with wife and husband team Poppy and Geoff. Poppy and Geoff have a beautiful love story. They were college sweethearts, who then both went their separate ways and 32 years, and two divorces later each, they came back together.

Poppy and Geoff are Certified Supreme Court Family Law Mediators and Relationship Counselors with expertise in neuroscience.

As Certified Parenting Experts, and Certified Myers Briggs Practitioners, they offer guidance to parents and co-parents, to help them move forward and flourish in their life.

In this episode, Poppy and Geoff talk about three tools that we can use to better understand our ex-partners and ourselves, and how we can use this knowledge to better our co-parenting relationships and to improve the parent/child relationship we have with our kids. 

These tools include:

• Myers Briggs.
• The Five Love Languages.
• The Apology Languages.

Lynn Jimenez (based in Southern California), is a mental health therapist, yoga instructor, and single mum. She's also the founder of Connect.Flow.Grow - a platform that provides parents with easy to use tools so they can teach their kids about feelings and behaviours, reducing stress and frustration in the home, and increasing the MAGIC of family time.

She's had a broad range of experience ranging from the activation in the stress response system, to creating school-based programs to teach kids social-emotional skills, to working with adults in a substance abuse treatment centre.

In this episode, Lynn shares some tips to help you help your kids become emotionally intelligent by teaching them about their feelings and what to do with them. These easy to use tools will help parents and kids manage their emotions, will bring them closer together and will help promote peace in the home.

We also talk about:

• travelling as a single mum,
• the benefits of a family meeting and what to discuss,
• why saying "why did you do that?" to your kids is a completely useless question,
• repairing harm,
• raising emotionally connected boys, and
• SO MUCH MORE!
