Hey there, it's Debbie. Today's episode is a special re-release of a favorite conversation from the archives. Unless you're a longtime listener of the show, there's a good chance you haven't heard this one before. And even if you have, you just might get something completely different from it this time around.
The only thing that we really have is this moment right now. But we tend to live in the past and that's where guilt resides. Guilt resides from the past. Decisions we've made, things we've said, right? And this is exactly where mindfulness does its best work. Mindfulness takes us out of that rumination space and that guilt space and puts us right back to here right now. And when we ask ourselves what's most important right now, right, we connect with our heart. We take that breath. And we do the next best thing in this moment that we can do.
Welcome to Tilt Parenting, a podcast featuring interviews and conversations aimed at inspiring, informing, and supporting parents raising differently wired kids. I'm your host, Debbie Rieber, and today I'm talking with corporate mindfulness teacher, author, and speaker Michelle Gale. Michelle is the author of the book Mindful Parenting in a Messy World and is the host of the Mindful Parenting in a Messy World podcast. While the previous episode I did on Mindfulness, which was actually one of the very first Tilled Parenting podcast episodes, was all about the benefits of mindfulness for our kids. In this episode, Michelle and I shift the focus to the parents and explore how bringing mindfulness into our lives in simple ways can have not only
A big impact in parenting with more purpose, but in getting through really difficult situations with our kids, especially when our own emotional reactions are triggered. And to be clear, we're not going to be talking about meditating for 20 minutes a day or really adding anything onto your plate.
Who is Michelle Gale and what is her background in mindful parenting?
This conversation and Michelle's approach is all about being more mindful in our own interactions, noticing our emotions and responses. paying attention to what's going on in our minds and doing that internal work, which is so much about what I write about in Differently Wired. So I really hope you enjoy this conversation and get a lot out of it. So here's my conversation with Michelle Gale. Hey Michelle, welcome to the podcast. Thanks so much for having me, Debbie. I'm happy to be here. I'm looking forward to this conversation because we have a lot to talk about today, specifically around the concept of mindfulness. But I would love if you could take a few minutes just to introduce yourself to the Tilt audience.
A little bit about who you are as a parent and also your work in the world.
I'm happy to. I have two boys. One just turned fifteen, heading to high school, and the other is eleven and a half. Um, they both have they're both wired differently. I'll say it that way. They're both wired differently. Um my oldest has ADHD and slow processing and my youngest has serious attention issues and visual spatial and language processing and auditory processing. So he's got a lot going on. So we've been d I was really appreciated your book. And reading your book and not feeling so alone um in this journey that I've been on. So appreciating you and your community that you've built. Um, my work in the world is I wrote a book called Mindful Parenting in a Messy World. So I'm an author. I came out last year.
And I go into companies like Google and and Disney and other tech companies and I talk to parents and do workshops and keynotes around mindful parenting and I also teach mindfulness just in general, in corporate, and I also have a you know an online community.
