The Expat Mom Podcast
This is a podcast for expat moms who want to improve their emotional health as they navigate the unique challenges of living and mothering abroad. Each episode shares one tool, idea or perspective shift you can apply immediately to your life and your family. I'm a certified life coach, an expat mom of 4 daughters, and married to a US diplomat. I’ve been abroad many of the last 20 years; I’ve lived on four continents, and in six different countries. I know what it’s like to be stuck emotionally and I know how to get unstuck. This podcast will show you how.

Emotion Coaching Kids Part 1: What NOT to Do
Kids and big emotions often go together like peanut butter and jelly. It’s part of the business of childhood and our teen years to figure out how to deal with our emotions. And, as parents we can be a help or a hinderance in that process. It isn’t always intuitive to know how to help kids with emotions—in fact we often want to avoid negative emotions for our kids. This week on the podcast we examine some of the mistakes parents make when responding to kids’ negative emotions.
On the podcast you'll learn:
- Four parenting approaches to kids' negative emotions
- What the impact of each is on kids according to research
- Which one is most successful
