052: How to Raise an Emotionally Healthy Child - with Maureen Healy

The Simplifiers Podcast

If you’re a parent, you’ll know how tricky it is to raise children. You may also know how to juggle running your business at the same time. For me, there’s always a sneaky little voice in my head that creeps in and says, “Hey Mary, you’re doing it WRONG!”

What if there was a different way to parent? More importantly, what if you could squash that fear and be equipped with simple, practical tools that will help your kids navigate life, their intense emotions, and ultimately help them be happier and healthier in today’s world?

Good news, you’ve come to the right spot.

My guest today, Maureen Healy, is going to simplify how to raise an emotionally healthy child.

Maureen is an award-winning author, and her work is so LEGIT, the Dalai Lama himself wrote the preface to her latest book, WOW!

Having kicked cancer to the curb at age 25 and having a baby shortly after, I can think of no one else better suited to show us the way.

In this episode, you will learn:

• What does the term ‘an emotionally healthy’ child mean?
• What the ‘accelerators of health’ are, and what role mindfulness plays in how you parent
• What the ‘3 steps to success’ are, and how this can help your kids when they get triggered (you can use them as adults too!)
• • Stop
  • Calm
  • Make a smart choice, for yourself and others
• What it means to have a ‘highly sensitive’, or ‘Indigo child’
• • How you might need to shift your parenting approach and/or mindset to better connect with them
• How to best broach the topic of death when it comes to their aging grandparents

I really love how Maureen simplifies it all down for us. It takes a shift in your mindset (with new ideas, tools and insight), mixed with a reconsideration of your current habits, through new strategies and every day practice. This is how you can get to where you want to go, which could apply to any area of your work and life - not just parenting.

Love it!
