The Parenting Shift That Changes Everything | CEO of Me on Raising Confident Kids

Описание: If parenting feels overwhelming or reactive, this conversation will shift how you see yourself—and your role.

In this episode of Women’s Wellness Authority, parent mentor, guide, and creator of CEO of Me, Heathir McElroy, shares a compassionate framework for leading yourself—and your family—with awareness instead of control.
CEO of Me isn’t about hustle or productivity. It’s about becoming a centered, empowered, and optimized version of yourself, so you can respond to life, parenting, and relationships with clarity rather than reactivity.

This conversation explores how our lived experiences shape how we show up, how awareness changes everything, and why parenting transformation starts with us.

Heathir explains:
What it really means to be the CEO of yourself
How your “window” shapes perception and reactions
Why awareness—not perfection—is the foundation of change
The iceberg model: understanding behavior through feelings, needs, and beliefs
How values guide decision-making for parents and kids
Why kindness (especially toward yourself) matters
How language impacts connection (“and” vs “but,” “choose” vs “should”)
Simple tools parents can use immediately

Host Diana Ruszkowski also shares personal stories—from career shifts to parenting moments—that illustrate how reframing life as happening for you can change everything.

Whether you’re parenting young kids, teens, caring for aging parents, or simply wanting to show up better in your relationships, this episode offers clarity, grounding, and practical tools.
