Family in Focus with Wendy Schofer, MD

Parenting is no joke! It's hard to juggle and figure out all the rules (which none of the kids want to follow). But there are ways to make it easier. Today we're going to do a reflective exercise to understand how becoming aware of and defining your values creates a foundation for making parenting easier. Full show notes available here.

Let's weave this together: celebrating certifications, expertise, and defining how you are an expert in your life, health and family. In today's show, Wendy celebrates achieving the Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credential through the International Coaching Federation (ICF). She discusses the significance of credentials in her coaching journey and emphasizes the importance of authenticity and human connection. Wendy highlights the value of being a genuine, imperfect human being and how it forms the core of her approach in Family in Focus programs. Wendy encourages listeners to embrace their authenticity to model that for others and invites them to join the last group program for the Spring season. Note: Explicit for the use of the word "bitch" like on the towel in the cover art. That's it. Just alerting in case there are young ears in the background. Full show notes available here.

Welcome to my very special listeners, teens! Today I want to share some videos I recently created to answer the question, "What does a supportive relationship look like between an adult and a teen?"   Well there are two folks to consider in this question and I answered with what can be considered by teens trying to figure out WHY they would ever want to connect with adults, and how adults can be welcoming and supportive to teens.   Please feel free to go to the blog or YouTube to see the video versions of both aspects and watch with your teens. There is such wealth in exploring perspectives on both sides of the relationship, which largely involves trust, safe spaces and vulnerability. I welcome your input, ah-ha's and questions. As always, you can drop me a line at wendy@wendyschofermd.com. Full show notes available here. YouTube version of Episode #110 here.

You're zapped, trying to focus on getting that report done. Or from the kids running on your nerves all day long. And the kids are having a meltdown and just arguing with each other, raiding the cabinets and doing anything but homework. What do you do? In today's episode I explore the concept of the "Shake Off," and I swear I'm not singing Taylor Swift the whole time (I.do.not.sing!). What is shaking it off? What does it do? How does it change your physiology? Why does that matter? Let's dive in! Full show notes available here. YouTube version of Episode #109 here.

As a parent, are you playing ping pong or chess with your kids? It's not all about the games, it's about the approach to being with them. In this episode we talk about taking some lessons from Improv Comedy and apply them to working with our kids. No one approach is better than another, but is it possible that your go-to (like my strength of being a Maximizer) is keeping you from fully having the experience you want at home? Let's talk about health, habits, strengths (and their downside), the responsiveness in ping pong, the future planning and being in the moment. Whether you call it meditation, mindfulness, awareness, presence or something else, let's explore together. As you will find from a story about a client's use of awareness, it completely changes our relationship with ourselves and our family. Full show notes available here.

Ever notice how you tend to have a soundtrack playing for your life? The same emotions, same story, same day to day.... and don't get me started on the "I'm bored!" soundtrack. Today we dive into an amazing tool - a game from the world of Improv Comedy - and apply it to our day to day lives. You see, in improv comedy, we are constantly flexing, changing, trying on new possibilities, and we don't have to save that for the stage. I include examples of my own stuck-ness, and how I used this tool just this morning. What is possible when you play? Seriously, let me know what you find as you play New Choice! wendy@wendyschofermd.com  Full show notes available here. YouTube version of Episode #106 here.

We have to admit it: we all (yes, I) have used shame tactics when it comes to health. It's a part of our culture and once we admit it, we can start being on the look for where we are using the tool of shame against us. Because shame doesn't make anyone healthier. Period. It backfires time and again. In this episode, I discuss how shame is being used, often covertly, as well as other ways to address actions that can be changed. As always, there are plenty of examples from real life.  Full show notes available here. YouTube version of Episode #105 here.

What does ending the year mean to you? I used to say that it meant getting ready for new beginnings.... but that was the part of me that was constantly on the move. Now I'm settling. I'm practicing hygge - and talking about what that looks like now with a few months since my introduction. (see Episode #97, Unlocking Your Inner Rebel for the intro to hygge). Now the end of the year means a softening, a coziness, creating a warmth that is supportive of the way I want to feel. What about for you? How do you want to feel? How can you bring that to your life? I love asking these questions and following through on them. Join me for the upcoming Family in Focus signature group coaching program (starts 2nd week of January) - or even private work (CME can be used for those who have end-of-year funds (a gratifying way to earn credits while learning more about yourself!)

"Holidays = Stress" has become a part of our language. But why are you stressed around the holidays? Today we unpack 6 very common stressors for parents during the holidays: 1) There's so much to do 2) It's so hard to stay healthy during the holidays  3) I have to "make it magical" 4) My .... is so hard to please. (aka meeting other people's expectations) 5) Sensory overload (aka holiday/pumpkin spice everything!)  6) MONEY For each, we explore a question that just isn't asked enough of parents: What do you want? Little shifts, practices and reframes can completely change the experience that we are having now (and we can use it at other times of the year!). It's truly a gift that only you can give yourself. Check out the one that I discovered during recording and I'm taking it with me this week. If you want to build on, I'm hosting a How to Survive the Holidays series in early December. We will have small group live coaching for you to connect, learn and apply the tools to your unique family and feel better right away.  Full show notes available here.

We are all struggling with weight, each and every one of us. The focus of our struggle may be our own weight, our loved ones, and professionally the struggle may be for our patients, students and colleagues. Today's episode is an abbreviated version of a chat I did for the local Children's Hospital - yes, these conversations are happening in professional settings as well! The full version is coming shortly. Find out about WHY we are struggling and the steps to take to start changing that today. It's not about diets - ok, the struggle is. But the next steps are NOT about finding yet another golden-ticket diet. "What got you here," (ahem, diets, black/white thinking about health, fearing food and bodies, shaming, numbing the discomforts of life), "will not get you there," (lifelong health from the inside out) -- my adaptation of Marshall Goldsmith's quote. Take a listen and let me know how you see this playing out in your life. As promised, Family in Focus is opening again shortly for group coaching.

Eeek! Today we are celebrating 100 episodes of the podcast and how we got here, amidst overwhelm, insanity and a crazy to-do list. Let's talk about the best way to address overwhelm: little steps. In this episode, I talk about how overwhelm develops, how it is so freaking natural and understandable in today's modern life AND the practice that I'm using every day and sharing with my patients, clients and family. Little steps. That's how I got from episode 0 to 100... and how I'm going forward as well. Parallels are discussed in in podcasting, clinical medicine (I see you, Urgent Care patient board and charting), family health, our upcoming move and all the to-do items. Take a listen (and a giggle, especially as you check out the birthday crown in the full YouTube video/link below) and let me know how overwhelm is impacting you and your family.

I love experiments. Anyone who has worked with me in the office or the Family in Focus coaching community has heard me talk about little experiments. Well I want to share with you how I f'd it up. I f'd it up - and now I have learned so much in the process, as did the family. We are constantly learning and growing - as long as we are trying to put ourselves out there to try things and risk failure. Take a listen to see what I learned in the failed experiment.

Hon, can we talk? I know... the word rebel doesn't feel like it fits. Yet, what is possible if it is the way to lead the life you actually want? Today we're gonna catch up, because I look a 2 month break from y'all, and I have gained so much more along the way. Because I gave myself permission. Permission to STOP. To CHANGE. To CHOOSE. Join me as we explore permission and how we think it is for and from others.  And let's start looking at the permission that we want to give ourselves. Perhaps not to do something, but to NOT do something. Ahhhh... I'm exhaling again! And, for those who want to look it up, I talk about the Danish concept of "hygge", pronounced "hoo-gah".
