Charlotte spoke with Danielle Dobson - Lead parent and Mother of 3 teenage boys, Author of Breaking the Gender Code and Founder of Code Conversations.
Danielle’s three wellbeing habits are:
1. Claim the day with a morning routine – “Give to myself before I give to the world” - Little rituals included: hot water on face, drink hot water, sitting in stillness, 10 mins of Qi Gong. When her kids were smaller, “I didn’t have high expectations on what it should be.”
2. Evening routine – de-fragging before lights out. A mindfulness analogy of the baggage carousel.
3. Strengthening your inner coach, a compassionate voice and self-knowledge data base. “Reframing what’s wrong and focusing on what’s strong”. “While a focus on what’s wrong helped us to survive, a focus on what’s strong will help us to thrive.”
Family Ritual
Gratitude over dinner - Danielle spoke to continually improving this ritual making sure they all connect to what they were grateful for.
