In this episode, Kinsey is joined with special guest Rachel McBride, a parent coach who teaches parents strategies to connect with their teenagers. Rachel shares how she overcame the fear of not being credible and the hesitancy of putting herself out there. She talks about what it’s like to go against the grain of typical advice and how to share a gift that’s world-changing.
Discover the simple steps you can take to overcome imposter syndrome and amplify your impact using social media with your truest, most potent content (even if it doesn’t come natural to you).
Do not miss these highlights:
00:46 It is guest time once again here in the Captivate and Close podcast episode. It is Rachel McBride, and she is a parent coach.
02:21 Parents are struggling to connect with their teenagers. Teenagers are shutting down and pushing parents out.
02:36 She teaches parents strategies and ways to connect with their teenagers.
02:42 Parenting teenagers doesn't have to be awful.
05:12 Rachel is an advocate of loving your teenagers and actually connecting with them.
06:20 Do we really have to battle with our teenagers all the time?
07:08 For many years, Rachel worked in an early childhood education institution. She loved working with families, children, and parents. She was a parent educator and a director of a preschool.
07:35 Parents have so many questions.
08:38 With no disrespect in any way, but parents will say the same about a two-year-old who they feel is manipulating them.
09:14 Reframing parents thinking around teenager behavior and really digging deep into it.
10:35 Rachel shared her experience and relationship with her middle son.
11:26 Her son knows too. He feels that they have this disconnect and something has to give.
11:53 She wanted to connect with him and with their relationship. Where he will feel loved, seen, and understood.
12:15 And so it gradually changed the entire environment in their home.
12:52 It comes full circle in their house now that it is peaceful. Her children are cooperative and supportive of each other now.
13:22 They are more willing to meet their parent's expectations because they also feel respected and heard.
13:40 It is not having a perfect system, but rather shifting our perspective, operating in that perspective, and practicing it.
14:41 She’s hearing families who are struggling. Everyone is doing the same thing, everyone believes that parents have to take away teenage privileges to be heard and followed.
16:26 Rachel believes aware parenting will change the world and can change the next generation of humans.
17:58 There's a way to do this in a coaching program strategically with a framework.
17:40 And so she decided she wants to sign up for Kinsey’s Programs.
18:59 It really let her zone in on her own brilliance.
19:20 Just learning how to tell a story or to write it was a huge help for her.
19:53 She recalled doing the 30-Day Challenge with Kinsey, which was posting every day for 30 days. That made a huge help to her.
20:02 She evolved in those 30 days in a way she would have never imagined from the day she started. Her content changed dramatically.
20:35 People are reading, connecting, and engaging on her posts now.
21:20 Rachel shared how she was able to navigate her own fears, challenges, and her ownfrustrations when she started coaching.
21:54 As soon as she was able to speak out, lifting her credibility, lifting her expertise, more opportunities came.
22:53 But the big fear that she got all caught up was the stuff of if she is really credible.
23:21 There are things she doesn't believe in and was afraid to put out there at that time.
23:46 She knew if she tries to speak something else or put another language out there, it won't be sincere so it won't work.
25:01 It's definitely worth getting over those fears, though she still has them and still shows up from time to time.
26:07 Once she starts getting rhythm and steam, like having the feedback loop for clients and having that validation, then she starts to amplify her voice and amplify her volume.
26:55 Oftentimes, Rachels's clients will come to her at that real breaking point.
27:33 A lot of clients come to her when they really do feel helpless. What does she do?
28:15 A beautiful way to learn how to communicate and connect and create mutual respect, regardless of age.
26:26 This is really about how we collaborate and have compassion for each other.
29:15 It's so amazing to watch and to hear clients say it really is working.
31:03 It's not about coming down harder. It's not even about creating better discipline. It's about connecting more.
33:05 One of the first things parents need to do is to notice how they listen when their teenagers are talking.
33:59 Take that moment to notice how you listen to your teenagers. How can you listen to them so that they can feel seen, heard, and understood?
34:30 If you're going to observe and try to see things differently, then you're going to see it differently. It's that intention first, which brings awareness.
