Ep.47 Mom Chat with Heidi Allsop, Raising Boys, Building Men Host and Master Certified Life Coach

As New Moms, we face a world of uncertainty. Each day brings new adventures and we can't help but wonder what our littles will be like as toddlers, then big kids, then teenagers and beyond! Having solid parenting advice in advance can be a game changer - especially when it's from a master certified life and parenting coach and proud mom of 5 boys ranging in age from 17 - 31 years old.

Today, we're joined by Heidi Allsop, proud mom of 5 boys, master certified life and parenting coach and host of the top 2.5% globally ranked podcast, Raising Boys, Building Men. With a background in social work, advanced life coach training, and over three decades of experience raising sons, Heidi knows first-hand how discouraging it can feel to try to “fix” a son’s behavior, only to end up feeling even more disconnected.

Heidi enlightens us on some of the specific challenges our boys are facing and how we can better connect with and advocate for them. She also shares 5 AMAZING tips on how to better connect with our sons AND daughters! Her tools can not only help us have a better relationship with our kiddos, they can lead to a better understanding of ourselves as mothers.
