Namaste- I see the Light in you and if I saw you on the street, I'd give you a BIG HUG!
It's true. This Holiday season my big hug comes in the form of giving away free yoga.
Do you know someone who becomes homebound during the winter due to the cold and inclement weather?
Do you know someone who complains of chronic pain? Or recently got a joint replacement?
Do you know someone who would like to help manage their diabetes without taking more meds?
Do you know someone who is worried about developing dementia and Alzheimers’?
What if I told you that this person could get stronger and more mobile this winter and do it all from their chair at home?!!

Today you will hear 4 lessons I learned from baking a cake from scratch with my 5 year old that have helped me as I navigate parenthood. I am still learning these lesson myself, but I feel soooo much more peace as a parent than I ever have before in my life because I am able to remember and implement these lessons quicker.
1. You are a Sous Chef, not a gardener.
2. It will take twice as long to let them do it themselves. (Maybe even a lifetime long.)
3. Sometimes it is painful being a Sous Chef.
4. It is messy. Super messy.
Expect that mistakes will made and it to be messy.
Mistakes can be opportunities for self-esteem building.
Our children want to be seen.
Our children want to be heard.
Our children want to be loved.
Parenting is about creating an environment where they feel all three AND build their confidence in running their own kitchen...because THEY are the Executive Chef not you.
Saying these three words with SINCERITY and without emotional baggage will be like a key to opening up communication with your children regardless of their age. "Help me understand."
Be proud of your Executive Chef...not for the food that they serve (there are going to be so many days they send out burned bread, soggy vegetables and tough meat) but for the person they are becoming as they learn to run their own kitchen.
Be the Sous Chef that every Executive wants by their side. Be involved in your child's life without trying to run it or own every success or failure of their kitchen as your own
