050 - Self-Care and Regulation Practices for Parents - With Michele Riechman

Welcome to "Parenting the Intensity!"

We all know that parenting isn't easy, especially when our kids have intense emotions. So, let's break down how we can take care of ourselves and stay calm as a parent to support our exceptional but challenging kids.

And to do that with is, we're joined by Michele Riechman, a mom of 4 and a military wife. Michele's journey towards prioritizing health and well-being started after her 3rd child. She shares how she found simple ways to integrate self-care into her busy life, leading her to become a personal trainer and health coach. Her mission is to help women simplify self-care, so they can be the best versions of themselves for their families.

​"So really becoming aware of those thoughts and telling yourself the truth. Because our brain has lots of thoughts and ideas, and a lot of them aren't even true. But we keep living and thinking as if they are true, so really paying attention to those thoughts."
