010: Suzi Freeman on being a present parent, creating open conversation with your children and finding clarity through knowing what you don’t want

Knowing how to have hard conversations with our children is one of the toughest (I think) parts of parenthood. My guest today, Suzi Freeman, shares how to have open, age appropriate, communication with your children and the importance of non-reactive listening. We also discuss her journey as a single mom why just being human with your children makes all the difference. I know I picked up quite a few tips from her in this conversation so enjoy!

Suzi Freeman is a Speaker and Educator in Emotional Intelligence, Mental Resilience and Suicide Prevention. She is the Founder of Elite Minds Academy, a membership site that focuses on emotional intelligence, mental resilience, and provides different means to help reduce stress & anxiety.

Suzi is also the founder of the Aware and Care Project, this is a project that provides free workshops for youth in emotional intelligence, mental resilience, suicide prevention and street smarts awareness training.

The youth training we incorporate brings awareness to the new mental health hotline 988, by way of branded stuffed animals, a book that was written by Suzi and her daughters Hanna and Abby as well as branded jewelry with 988.

Aware and Care Project will be launching the newest program in 2023 a 12 week training course for those entering the military, police and fire. It is a course that focuses on Mental Strengths Training, along with providing a mentor and a physical training program design to make sure you hit all the numbers to exceed the PT portion of your chosen field. This is a free mentorship course and we will serve 28 per year.

In this episode we talk about:

Proactive vs. Reactive living
Opening up conversations with your children
The importance of non-reactive listening
