The Internal Life Coaching Model

There are four main elements to the Internal Life Coaching Model: Getting grounded, letting go, reframing and getting energized.

Reframe

  • Identify existing perspectives
  • Explore alternative perspectives
  • Reframe perspectives that don't support your growth

Energize

  • Get energized to face parenting head on
  • Get enthused to forge your own path
  • Use humour to address challenges

At the core of the model is getting grounded. In order to create a strong foundation we focus on getting you grounded in your authentic self and using that self-awareness to develop your own unique approach to parenting while cultivating your inner caretaker.

In order to foster confidence it is vital for you to learn to let go of comparisons and judgments that undermine your self-confidence as a parent. Specifically: ideals of perfection, fear of being judged by others, and all the voices (internal and external) telling you what you should and shouldn't be doing. Being supported through the process of letting go will enable you to become a more confident parent as you decide what kind of parent you want to be.

In reframing, you will learn to identify existing perspectives, explore alternative perspectives and reframe those that don't support your growth. Through this process you can begin to bring your actions and intentions into alignment by seeing more clearly what underlying beliefs have been holding you back and finding ways to change them.

The final element in the Internal Life Coaching model is to get energized to face parenting head on and forge your own path while using humour to address challenges and maintain an empowered perspective. This is done through acknowledging the authentic self, celebrating progress and developing your own structures for celebration.

Together these four components can bring you to a place of strength and clarity that enables you to parent with confidence, faith and joy while never losing site of who you are.
