Thrive Like A Parent

• Loosing Temper With Your Kids

  EP:126 Hey friends! I just recorded a new episode of the Thrive Like a Parent podcast all about losing your temper with your kids. As a mom, I know how hard this can be - we all have those moments where we just feel like we're at the end of our rope. But I want you to know that it doesn't make you a bad parent. It just means you need to take care of yourself, whether that's taking a break, practicing self-care, or finding healthy ways to manage your emotions.   In this episode, I get real about my own struggles with traditional "play" activities, and how I've learned to connect with my kids in my own unique way. I also share my honest thoughts on some popular parenting experts and methods - not everything works for every family, and that's okay! The key is being kind to yourself, setting boundaries, and making time for your own mental health. When we do that, we can show up as calmer, more regulated parents. I hope this episode gives you the validation and encouragement you need. You're doing an amazing job, even on the tough days. Sending you all my love!   #parenting #selfcare #mentalhealth #emotionalregulation #parentingtips #thrivelikeaparent    Links & Resources: 📘 Check out more episodes of Thrive Like a Parent - https://drbrookeweinstein.com/thrive-podcast/ 📸 Follow Dr. B on Instagram -   https://bit.ly/48VZI5e   🌐 Visit our website for more resources on self-care and well-being - https://drbrookeweinstein.com   0:00 - Introduction and Context 5:00 - Connecting with Children in Unique Ways 10:00 - The Importance of Self-Care and Boundaries

• Sex and Intimacy within a Partnership

  EP:125 Hi Friends! I've noticed a pattern with my clients - many struggle with intimacy and sex within their marriages or partnerships. This is a topic that isn't openly discussed, but it's so important. Intimacy should be a deep, mutual connection - not a one-sided experience where one partner's needs are neglected. I've heard too many stories of intimacy feeling like a chore, rather than a pleasurable, regulating experience for both people. I want to empower you to advocate for your own needs when it comes to intimacy. Your body, your choice. You deserve to feel comfortable, respected, and mutually satisfied. Don't be afraid to have an open conversation with your partner about your desires and boundaries. Your wellbeing should be the priority, not just meeting your partner's needs. You have the right to prioritize your own pleasure and regulation.   Links & Resources: 📘 Check out more episodes of Thrive Like a Parent - https://drbrookeweinstein.com/thrive-podcast/ 📸 Follow Dr. B on Instagram -   https://bit.ly/48VZI5e   🌐 Visit our website for more resources on self-care and well-being - https://drbrookeweinstein.com   #intimacy #sexandrelationships #marriageadvice #selfcare #boundaries #couplegoals

• Supporting Each Other Through Struggles

  EP:124 Hi friends! this episode was a doozy, let me tell you. I dove headfirst into some major home renovations during my winter break, and let me just say - the dust, the fumes, the chaos, it was a lot to handle! But you know what, my amazing neighbor was so kind to let me and the family stay at her place for a week, which was a total lifesaver. It gave me the space I needed to recharge and reconnect with my partner, Carter.   He's been such a rock for me through all of this. When I was really struggling, he stepped up and made sure I got the time and support I needed, whether that was pushing me out the door for some alone time or planning a surprise date night. It's made me realize how important it is to have that kind of partnership, where you can lean on each other when times get tough. I'm so grateful for him, and I hope all of you can foster that same level of support in your relationships.

• The Secret to Lasting Nervous System Regulation

  EP:123 Hi friends, I'm so excited to share a powerful insight with you today - the fastest way to regulate your nervous system is NOT control, fixing, or jumping into action. In fact, those strategies often backfire and perpetuate stress. Instead, I'll show you how to build a larger window of tolerance, so you can stay calm and present, even when life gets chaotic. No more meltdowns or irritability - just more peace, connection, and joy. This is life-changing stuff, and I can't wait to share it with you. Through my Thrive programs, I've seen firsthand how this approach can transform lives. When we learn to manage our stress response, everything shifts. We become more patient, more present, and better able to show up for ourselves and our loved ones. If you're ready to ditch the stress and cultivate more calm, this is for you. It's not always easy, but the rewards are profound. I'll guide you through the process, step-by-step, so you can reclaim your power and thrive, no matter what life throws your way. Stay tuned, my friends, and get ready to experience the freedom that comes from a regulated nervous system. It's a game-changer, I promise!

• Small Sustainable Changes to Thrive in 2025

  EP:122 New Year's resolutions are total BS. I'm done with the pressure to completely overhaul my life overnight. Instead, I'm focusing on making small, sustainable changes that I can stick to all year long. No more crash diets or extreme makeovers - just gentle, consistent progress.   This year, I'm embracing the Kaizen method - taking one small step at a time towards my goals. Whether it's saving a little more, eating a bit healthier, or improving my relationships, I know lasting change happens gradually. I'm giving myself grace and celebrating tiny wins, not beating myself up over setbacks.   This is my year to thrive, not just survive. No more January blues or post-holiday hangovers. I'm listening to my body and brain, throttling my energy levels, and trusting the process. Slow and steady progress is where it's at!  Links & Resources: 📘 Check out more episodes of Thrive Like a Parent - https://drbrookeweinstein.com/thrive-podcast/ 📸 Follow Dr. B on Instagram -   https://bit.ly/48VZI5e   🌐 Visit our website for more resources on self-care and well-being - https://drbrookeweinstein.com #NoMoreResolutions #OneStepAtATime #KaizenLife
