Episode 7 – Emotional resilience (and the stories we tell ourselves)

Posted on March 1, 2020April 13, 2023 by Emily

Kim Ades is the President and Founder of Frame of Mind Coaching™ and JournalEngine™ Software. Author, speaker, entrepreneur, coach and mother of 5, Kim is recognized as one of North America’s leading experts on performance through thought mastery.

Kim talked to us about emotional resilience, and how the ability to not just bounce back but to grow from setbacks, is the key to success.

We discussed how the stories we tell ourselves define our experience, and why it’s so important to take control of those stories and keep them positive. 

We delve into how (and why) to have difficult conversations with your teen.

Most importantly, we talked about how ‘parenting’ is all about you – the parent.  The most important thing you can do is to self-manage.  Controlling those instincts to nag them about revision might be one of the toughest things you can do, but it’s also one of the best things you can do…

If you’ve ever wanted to know more about us (Paul & Em) as parents, and how wonderfully imperfect we are at it, this is the episode for you!

Frame of Mind Coaching offers an hour long complimentary coaching call, so if you feel like that might be of benefit (thinking of doing this myself!), then here’s the link:

The hardest part of being a parent is watching a child go through something really tough and not being able to fix it for them.
