Quit Taking It Personally – Part 2 with Fran Rubio-Katz | Ep 24

Описание: In this follow-up to their impactful conversation, Kokeb and Fran Rubio-Katz (aka Coach Franny) dive deeper into the transformative idea of “Quit Taking It Personally” (QTIP), a tool rooted in Conscious Discipline. Fran shares personal stories and professional strategies to help therapists, teachers, and parents shift away from behavior-based expectations and lean into co-regulation, connection, and collaboration. They explore how taking things personally can impact your energy, your sessions, and your relationships—with children, students, and clients—and what to do instead. From embracing a mindset of curiosity to letting go of control, this conversation is a must-listen for anyone supporting children with complex needs.

Fran also introduces key concepts from the upcoming Mindfulness in Action: A Toolkit for Calm, Connection, and Co-Regulation training—designed to equip you with actionable tools and language to bring these ideas to life.
