  • Summary

  • Sometimes Love Isn’t Enough: The Parenting Through Challenges Podcast - A practical yet heartfelt podcast for parents who are overwhelmed by unique challenges in parenting. Join Angie Grandt – The Adoption Coach – as she leads you on a journey to rebuild a relationship with your child – you know – the one who you promised to love unconditionally, but who keeps pushing you away and displaying such unsettling behaviors, and now you find you are so easily triggered by all their behaviors and can’t seem to find joy in your relationship? Yeah, that relationship. I know right where you are because I’ve been there too. With my bio child, I felt like I was doing pretty great! I could handle any challenges thrown my way, kept my cool, and was fully present and engaged in our relationship. As an adoptive mom however, I gave all of my time, my love, and my energy to my son in a desperate attempt to help heal his trauma. It didn’t work. In fact, our relationship became so strained, and it showed in behaviors. As our relationships was falling apart, my resent, fear, frustration, and regret grew. I was desperately trying to help, and sacrificing my own happiness and other important relationships along the way. I felt like such a failure as a mom - why couldn’t I figure this out? Sometimes love isn’t enough. When it comes to raising kids from trauma and disrupted attachment, the truth is that all too often, you need unconditional love paired with key mindset tools to help you keep your head in the game – in the trickiest times (aka when your child needs you the MOST!). The same can be true for our bio kids too - sometimes there’s a glitch in our ability to connect - we become easily frustrated with their behaviors and as a result feel like we are failing in the parenting game. This is where a mindset coach comes in! What I didn’t know then… I had the right tools inside me all along (although I needed a coach to help me see them! As my coach will say, “we can’t see the end of our own nose!”). The solution to our relationship wasn’t in another book, podcast (yes, I get the irony here!), therapist, teacher, etc. The solution was in me – learning to use strategies like respond vs react and key mindset tools to tap into my strengths, and shift my mindset. I am on a mission to help parents to access the right tools to rebuild their relationship, tackle behaviors, and work on building connection again – for one of THE MOST important relationships in their life.

    36. Ask better questions
    Nov 23 2024

    When people, including our kids, misbehave, it's easy to ask, "What's wrong with you" or "Why did you do that?" What if we approached people, especially our kids, with more compassionate questioning that gets at the root of the behaviors?

    35. Alphabet soup of diagnosis
    Nov 16 2024

    When our children are experiencing behaviors, we want to understand why. A diagnosis can help us better understand, right?

    In this episode, we'll discuss the seemingly relentless pursuit of diagnoses, and the likely root of the behaviors as a whole.

    34. What is trauma anyway?
    Nov 9 2024

    What is trauma? Is it an event, or a series of events? Does it include neglect, or abuse? How can 2 children experience the same event, and have very different responses, both short- and long-term about that same event?

    In this episode, we'll discuss research, and my perspective on trauma. I'd love to hear your thoughts!
