Ah, happiness… such a profound emotion. Did you know there was a science to it? Today we are learning how to nurture those happy vibes at home and work for both ourselves and our children. 

What We Talked About:
  • Creating emotional safety for children

  • The importance of clarity and setting boundaries

  • The 8 Inner Skills from the Work Happiness Method

  • Clarity in your goals and decisions, both as a parent and in your career

  • Why tuning into your own needs is essential

Things to Remember

“Create freedom for your children to be themselves and to know themselves better.”

“Emotion is always in motion. It's just information.”

“Parenting is harder than any job you could do.”

“Our boundaries are there to make it easier  for us to be who we want to be.”

“When you're in your play mindset, you're setting yourself up to be more curious and open to possibilities.”

“The people-pleasing tendency is a trauma response. It's a trauma response called fawning.”

“Tending to our own needs is a way of caring better for others.”

“Boundaries are less about no and more about saying yes to what matters.”

“Boundaries are one way we can support ourselves in being who we want to be with greater ease.”
