Through Donald Miller's StoryBrand framework and our BRIDGE pillars, we discover how stepping back from the hero role actually empowers our children to develop their own strength and resilience. Key Points: Understanding the hero's journey framework in parenting Why children need guides, not heroes How the BRIDGE pillars support conscious guidance The connection between nervous system regulation and being a grounded guide Practical examples of guide-style parenting in action Frameworks Discussed: Donald Miller's StoryBrand 7 Elements The BRIDGE Pillars: Belonging Resources Identity Direction Guide Empowered mindset/heartset/bodyset Practical Examples: Managing first bank accounts Navigating friendship dynamics Creating healthy boundaries Developing emotional regulation skills Resources Mentioned: Blossom Into Money Mastery (BIMM) - Starting May 5th- IsabelleBridges.com/BIMM 6-week transformation journey Investment options: $555 (one-time) or 6 x $100 Learn more at IsabelleBridges.com/BIMM Next Steps: Subscribe to the podcast for bonus episodes Join BIMM to strengthen your own foundation as a guide Follow @IsabelleBridgesBoesch on Instagram Remember: The goal isn't to be a perfect guide, but to be a present one.

Empowerment is an Inside Job (the philosophy that will set you free) 19:40

for 19 dager siden19:40

19:40

Do you struggle with feeling like you’re not good enough, or that you don’t measure up? There are so many different parenting philosophies out there: Attachment, RIE, simplicity, unconditional, Montessori, Waldorf, Reggio, gentle, respectful, conscious, peaceful…but which one is right for you? Join me as I dive into this topic and reveal my parenting philosophy. The problem: Every book, expert, & philosophy seems to contradict the others. It can make you feel like you don’t measure up when you can’t or don’t 100% follow a particular philosophy. Some of these groups can be so judgmental and unsupportive when you don’t fully stick to their philosophy. There’s so much out there and it’s hard to decide what will work for you. The solution (and my philosophy): Empowerment Is An INSIDE Job. Someone may offer you an empowering solution. But if you don't take it- you won't feel empowered. We should feel good about the way that we live our lives and about who we are. No one benefits from you being a martyr (including your children). Not that it’s always easy. There are definitely hard times in parenting. But overall, you should not parent in a way that feels like constant suffering & misery. Design a life that you love. You could go through your entire life…many people have and are currently doing so…not enjoying life. Keep your cup full and spill out onto others. What would make parenting fun for you? Minimize/reduce/outsource as many of the negative things as possible. You are not the roles you play! When you’re truly motivated from a place of love & care, you’ll find the right words & actions (vs. operating out of fear or anger). Holding your goodness to light. Self-compassion. Do things that are kind. Trust your intuition. Break down old paradigms. Keep it flexible enough and use as a clear guideline. It liberates you from attachment parenting or from mainstream parenting. PERMISSION to be uniquly you, permission to LOVE who you are.
