So what is going on with The Uplift Effect Podcast? There hasn't been an episode since May 2023.... here's what's been going on (life update!) and what is coming up ahead!

Evaluating and aligning our priorities with our vision and value system is one of the most challenging parts of navigating family and life commitments. Today I give you a quick story that many of you may have heard as it relates to the work space, but is equally relevant to our family life. I even share a personal story about how out of alignment I was regarding a specific issue when I had a bunch of crawlers! Not one of my better evaluations of priority.

Today is not just about parenting. It's about your real, every day life that's bulging at the seams from overcommitment, too many demands on your time and energy, and in need of an intervention. Today I read a section from "Present Over Perfect: leaving behind frantic for a simpler, more soulful way of living" by Shauna Niequist. This book overs so much insight and is for anyone who's looking for SIMPLER. Is there anyone who doesn't have their hand up for that? This was a game changer for me years ago and I've incorporated it into the counseling and coaching work I now do with families and corporations. This episode is a perspective shift and there is hope in that shifting. Enjoy! Email me at falling.jill@gmail.com

Today I share one of the single most powerful things you can do as a parent to develop and grow your relationship with your children. I will tell you that it seems a bit simplistic but my experience is parent's get caught up in so many other things, this powerful tool gets overlooked. Chaos to Confidence Parenting Academy Mini-Series...releasing the first of April!!! I am so excited to provide you a framework that can be used for any family. As I've worked with families, I've discovered an overwhelming number of parents who use "winging it" as their go-to parenting approach. I want to advocate for a framework that will keep you out of decision fatigue parenting, help you get clear on what you want to do as a parent and how to do it! This is about planning and being intentional because we know what happens when we do neither of those things...nothing. I'm super excited to share with you my brand new website (and it's still under construction) that will house all the places The Uplift Effect shows up in the world. Find us at: https://www.theuplifteffect.org On the website, submit your email address and you'll be the first to have access to the brand new Chaos to Confidence Mini Series! I'd love to hear from you; feel free to email me at falling.jill@gmail.com

This week we talk about the most unpopular, unromantic and certainly not an easy part of any successful parenting strategy. However, I promise you this- if you dismiss it, you'll pay dearly. It isn't fun with a 3 year old, but it is definately NOT a pretty picture in those later teenage years.

This episode was a bit tough... what to say, what not to say.And why have I been MIA the past few weeks? I've been navigating our own life, one of which has been a bit bumpy as of late. And honestly, it's been exhausting. The concept  today is not new but it's clearly one that's dismissed. When coaches particularly lose sight of their purpose and fail to accept personal responsibilty, there's a domino effect that has long lasting implications. I hope it serves as a great reminder for us all.You can email me at falling.jill@gmail.com and find me on most all social media avenues.Link for some of my favorite books: https://www.pinterest.com/theuplifteffect/The Masterclass Series "Chaos to Calm Parenting Academy" that I reference is a resource that will be incredibly helpful for any parent who wants to break unhealthy generational parenting cycles, up-level their parenting skills, and create that stress-free household they've always wanted- here is the link:www.thechaostocalm.com**It will say you missed the event, just register for the "All Access Pass."

If you are roughly in your 40’s, you may remember how reports cards looked- far different than today. They had a personal touch involved that made a big difference in how I saw myself and what I believed about those who I looked up to. It motivated change because their words mattered. My Mom did some digging and guess what she found,- the very words I had been carrying in my mind all these years, written in their handwriting, in cursive, and proving that though I couldn’t remember the exact comments, I remembered how they made me feel. Parents, teachers, coaches, grandparents… don’t miss this episode. Your words matter and they can and will change the lives of the children you touch! Come listen to the words of Mrs. Redding (K) and Mrs. Jacobson (3rd grade)… we need to practice what they did so well!And as mentioned, I'd love for you to be a part of my Patreon...here's the link to check it out- https://www.patreon.com/theuplifteffectTHANK YOU!Link for some of my favorite books: https://www.pinterest.com/theuplifteffect/The Masterclass Series "Chaos to Calm Parenting Academy" that I reference is a resource that will be incredibly helpful for any parent who wants to break unhealthy generational parenting cycles, up-level their parenting skills, and create that stress-free household they've always wanted- here is the link:www.thechaostocalm.com**It will say you missed the event, just register for the "All Access Pass."

If you are a parent who has children playing sports...there are many episodes coming that will be important for you as you help your kids on and off the field! I love sports and I have found it to be an incredible tool to help address very specific things with my kids as I've parented 4 kids over the years...all with very different personalities and needed sports for a variety of different things. Today I address an issue many of us see these days and it's teaching our children a way of thinking/acting that will not serve them well. Just listen and see if you haven't seen some of the same. But most importantly-- how are we going to address this with our children? We talk about it in today's episode!And for those coaches who are modeling integrity, honesty and character as they work with our kids...thank you! We couldn't do this without your example of what REAL MEN should act like! Your influence goes so much father than the 100 yards on a football field or to the fence behind centerfield.

Today's episode is all about how you can answer the "So how are you doing?" with a "I'm doing well, and how are you?" and do so honestly. Thank goodness most don't ask "How are you really doing?" because that's a tough question for so many of us right now. Here are some thoughts and ideas that have helped me and those I've counseled/coached as we are on this journey of remaining resilient for the long haul.

This is not a political conversation, this is a leaderships conversation. Regardless of your position on any of the current (and multiple) issues we face right now...one thing is true... Leadership skills are needed now more than ever and our children need us to rise to the occasion and teach them what leadership is, and isn't. The field is plentiful right now for many examples of what happens when people lose sight of what leadership truly is.These skills are needed in our homes, on ball fields, in the schools, the work place and in our government- Do not shy away from these discussions with your kids! I give some suggestions on places to start the conversation and how I'm choosing to address it here with my tribe!And never forget, we must be the change we want to see!Link for some of my favorite books: https://www.pinterest.com/theuplifteffect/The Masterclass Series "Chaos to Calm Parenting Academy" that I reference is a resource that will be incredibly helpful for any parent who wants to break unhealthy generational parenting cycles, up-level their parenting skills, and create that stress-free household they've always wanted- here is the link:www.thechaostocalm.com**It will say you missed the event, just register for the "All Access Pass."
